The banks are hopeful of good times in the south and southwest. - The conditions are not quite so fa vorable, but a hopeful feeling exists in the northwest. The reports show a solid improvement in most lines and in most industries. Trinity College Notes.

A special from Scotland Neck to the News and Observer last night says: There was a marriage in town last night that was somewhat romantic. Mr. W. A. Dortch, a young farmer from Warren county, has been running a tobacco farm near town for Mr. W. T. Joyner, and while attending to the interests of the farm he fell in love with Miss Fannie, the young and pret ty daughter of farmer Joyner. There was some displeasure at the match on the part of some members of Miss Fannie' s family, and last night about 7 o'clock the couple presented them selves at Rev. R. T. Vann's and asked his services in uniting them in the bonds of matrimony. He complied with the request and the happy pair drove through the country twenty miles to Enfield, where they took the train for the groom's old home. Off for Conference. The secretary of the Western North Carolina Christian Conference, Rev. P. T. Way, of Durham, was in the city today and goes to Ramseur to night where the conference meets this week.

We entertain little fear as to the result, for side of Wright is sure to conquer, and Daniel conquered even the King's lion's. KILLED: AT CHARLOTTE. Dennis Cannon Struck by Outgoing Freight Train. From today's Charlotte Observer we get the following account of the killing of Dennis Cannon there ' this morn ing: ':" .'.!'. At 12 o'clock ; this morning a man named Dennis Cannon was. struck and killed by the northbound freight train on the Southern railway! The acci dent occurred at the , iron bridge over the extension of North Tryon street, on the Concord road, near the Air-Line junction. Cannon had tarried at the junction station and had talked with the opera tor there. He was drunk and in con versation with the operator had told his name. Shortly after midnight he left, going in the direction of the city. At 2 o'clock the freight train reached the junction. Engineer Black reported that he had knocked a man from the track near the bridge. The man, he said, was lying prone between the rails. The engineer did not see him in time to prevent striking him. The junction operator went dwn the track and found the dead body lying by the rails. The man's head was mashed into a jelly., Operator Dodge, at the Southern passenger station, notified the police by telephone of the occurrence and of the location of the dead body. He was informed that it was not in the juris diction of the police to look after the body and they would not go after' it. So at last accounts the body lay by the track in the spot where he was lodged by the train. . The incident brings to light the fact that there is a disogreement between the city and railroad authorities about cases of this kind. Asked about it this morning, Sear geant Baker said the railroad would have to look after the body. It is not known where Cannon hails from. All that is known of him is ob tained from his talk with the junction agent. THE WAY TO WIN. State Senator A. M. Scales Has His Uncle's Political Sagacity. Mr. Alf. M. Scales,' state senator from Guilford, who is one of thewisest and purest of the young democratic leaders of the state, was in Raleigh yesterday. He says the political situation in Guilford county is all that could be desired, and that whereas tile vote in 1896 was very close, there is no divis ion of opinion that at the next elec tion the democrats will carry it by something like from 400 to 600 major ity. "WTe can carry the state," he said, "if we are wise. There is a feeling -on the part of honest populists and some republicans to vote the democratic ticket. They ought to be encouraged. We ought to make it easy for populists to come back to the party. It will be wise to' put new men, who are not and have not been connected with any fac tions in the party, to the front, and everywhere to select candidates who have not been engaged in ranco of partisan strife, men of integrity and men who command the confidence of the people." And then Mr. scales spoke a para ble. He was not talking for publica tion, but his ideas are so wise that we think they ought to be read by the 25, 000 democrats who daily read the News and Observer. Senator Scales has given us the way to victory. Candidates whose re cords,however good, would bring about any other issue than "the White Man and the White Metal" ought to stand aside next year. This would require that some of the best men in the state put aside fond ambitions. Their love for their party ought to make them willing to this. News and Ob server. Be Careful. A man, white or black, cannot .be too careful about entering another man's yard after eleven o'clock at night, whether he is calling on his best girl or on other business. Its a dangerous thing to do. We know of two instances that happened on last Sunday night where parties were found trespassing in the wee small hours of the night, and on being ques tioned gave as an excuse that they were calling on a friend. There is a proper time for every thing, and we dp not make an excep tion of calling. So be careful how you prowl around. Concords of Sweet Music. Last night the monotonous rustle of the wind-tossed leaves was broken by the sweet songs of a serenade party. Fortunate indeed were the favored few under whose windows the merry party sang.

New York, Nov. 16. A dense fog enveloped the city this morning, inter fering seriously with traffic all over the city. The Royal Blue Line Philadelphia Express leaving the" city in the uncer tain light, collided with an accommo dation train at Singer, N. Y., leaving the latter almost a total wreck.

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-rA huge an aconda, on exhibition in a museum here, severely injured Samuel Masher, the museum watchman, and crushed a trick pony to death. The pony was tied to a feed box be side the anaconda's cage. Masher saw that the reptile had worked one of the boards of cage loose and had stretch ed its tail out a distance. He pushed the board,' believing the anaconda would pull within the cage again, but it wriggled out and wrapped itself sev eral times about Masher. The watchman called for help, and the pony, frightened by the big rep tile, began jumping about. This, in all probability, saved Masher's life, for the reptile unwound itself from him and completely encircled the pony. Masher fell to the floor unconscious, while the big snake continued to crush the pony until life was extinct. When a number of employes reach ed the scene the snake had begun to unwind itself and appeared to be get ting ready for more fight. The men kept aloft until a lasso had' been obtained and the anaconda was made secure. Several of Masher's ribs were bro ken and he was removed to a hospital. BUILDING COLLAPSED.

His Wife Had Bought It for $7.50 Her Subsequent Troubles. St. Louis, Nov. 15. Mrs. Ruth Krebs, a young actress, stood in the doorway of her home yesterday, re volver in hand, and kept at bay three furniture movers who had been em ployed by her husband to move their household effects. In one arm she clasped a baby which she had bought and paid for in order to retain her husband's affections. An hour later, she says, she was assaulted by her mother-in-law, and now she is in bed in consequence of this series of un happy circumstances. Mrs. Krebs has been married twice. Her first marriage resulted disastrous ly, and afterward she turned to George P. Krebs. She married him in Chi cago eighteen months ago.. They came here, and after a while Krebs told his wife he was disappointed because they had no child. Mrs. Krebs bought a baby for $7.50 and presented it to her husband as their own. i It was then six weeks old, but Krebs was unsuspectingly happy. He finally learned of the deception, and then lit out. RESTORING INDEPENDENCE HALL. Tearing Down the Latter Day Addl- . tions. Philadelphia, Nov. 15 At 7 o'clock this morning workmen began tearing down the many-additions to Independ ence Hall that have been built from time to time, and which marred the simplicity of the historic structure.

It is the intention to restore the old building to as near original design as possible. No McKinleyism for Kentucky. -' Here in Kentucky the returns leave no room for doubt. The voters will not have Republicanism at any price. They will not have fusion at any price. They will not have a third party or take a middle course at any price. They elect to follow all the excesses of the Chicago platform and to stand by Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, and a repetiton in 1900 of the ill-starred cam paign of 1896. Having brushed aside all obstructions and implied the situ ation, they range themselves by a great majority upon the side of the extrem ist of the extreists. Louisville Courier-journal.
