Senator Banna's friends are swarm ing in the in the streets and threaten ing vengeance against Major McKis son and the anti-Hanna candidate. The contest is so exceedingly close that one weak-kneed member on either side can change the result. The lead ers of both sides are hustling up to i- the last minute and bribery charges add to the excitement. STATE HOUSE CROWDED. By Wire to Thi Telegram. Columbus, O., Jan. 11.

One of The Needs of a Growing City Like Greensboro, The fact that Greensboro has made rapid strides" in the way of population within the last year is apparent to all. It is gratifying to note other e vidences of the city's growth. The possibilities of Greensboro are recognized bj thinking people. There are, however many very im portani things to be considered, for mulated and acted upon by the people of Greensboro, before we can take the position we believe the city Is destmod and entitled to take. We must have more manufacturing enterprises. This. is one very important subject, one that should constantly engage the minds of people who desire a solid growth for the city. But what The Telegram has parti cularly in mind today is a city park. And now is the time to make a iovc in that dii-ection. A park with beau tiful shade, lakes, drives and walk in any city.or in close proximity thereto, is one of the very first things to attract the attention' and elicit the admiration of visitors and strangers. We often hear strangers ask, "Where is the park?" They take it as a matter of fact that therein a park. And there should be one. Now, the question is: Can we : not have ono ? And where shall it be located-? Let us venture a suggestion. The Telegram man's eye may be untrained but he thinks he has in mind a site that could be easily converted into a a magnificent park. And be has reason to believe that a liberal dona tion could be secured from the owner of the property. The place in mind is the plot of ground ' surrounding the lake from which the city water supply is fur nished. Naturally, it is a beautiful place. Theake is plenty large lor small boats, and if the Water com pany will stock this lake with tish and grant the privilege of putting boats thereon, sufficient ground around the lake can be secured for tho asking to make a beautiful park. A drive way with easy grade can be made around the lake near the water and three-fourths around it on top of the ridge. It is proper to state here that this is not the lake from which the drinking water supply is derived. "The drinking supply comes from an adjacent pond cut off from the larger lake and sur rounded by a cement wall. Objection may be raised to the dis tance and accessibility of the location suggested . But by grading the ceme tery hill it is easily within five to ton minutes drive and can be reached by two excellent routes. One is out by Greene Hill cemetery and the other is out West Market to G. F. College hill and turning to the right, going on the west side of "The Cedars, ' the new and elegant home of Mr. Branch Mcr rimon. It is a pretty drive either way, and together with the beautiful place which could be made around the lake, would add no little to the attractions of Greensboro. Let those who desire to see a park in Greensboro visit the place named and express their opinion about it. The columns of The Telegram are open for a discussion of the matter. A Relic to be Returned. Col. E. A. Osborne, of Charlotte, has written Adjutant General Stephen D. Ayling, of New Hampshire, in re gard to the return of the flag of the Fourth North Carolina Regiment, which, it appears, was captured at Chancellorsville. Col. Osborne says in his letter that he desires the flag ' in order to obtain this interesting relic for the pleasure and satisfaction of that once splendid regiment." Adju tant General Ayling in reply to Col. Osborne says Mrs. Persis F. C'ha?3e, who in winter closes her home and travels, has left the matter of return ing the flag entirely in his hands and that he will be happy to return it to Col. Osborne upon statement by Adju tant General Cowles that Col. Osborne is authorized to receive the flag. The Adjutant General gives the authoriza tion. Charlotte Observer. .Senatorial Timber. The statement was made yesterday that Governor Russell would, in the event of Senator Pritchard's resigna tion to-eueceed Judge Dick on the Fed eral bench, appoint Justice Walter Clark.

Washington, D.C.Jan. 11 Assistant Commissioner Greely of the patent of fice has prepared the draft of a bill which will be introduced in congress governing the recognition of agents, attorneys and other persons represent ing applicants for patents before the patent office.

Postal Bags Stranded and the Stage Horses Seized. LosAngeles,Jan.9 Near Twenty-nine Palms, in the heart of the Colorado desert, is a man whose novel way of collecting a debt has brought him into conflict with Uncle Sam's mails. The man has been working for a stage company which runs mail coach es between Twenty-Nine Palms and some desert mining camp, The com pany was slow in paying, so when the stage left, a few days ago, he was at a i convenient place with a shotgun and ordered the driver to stop. The passengers at first thought it was a case 01 stage robbery, but the man said they, could go. their way. He did not molest the treasure box or mail pouches. He simply said he wanted his pay and intended to take the stage horses as security. So he unharnessed' the animals and drove them to his corral, and has been car ing for them ever since. The mail and coach are still stand ng on the desert, but it is expected the horses will be restored in a day or" so, as Deputy United States Marshal Pou rade hasg-6neto the scene. The man who committed this offence has a ranch ana stock, but was evi dently unaware of his crime in inter fering"with the delivery of the mails. A slreak. of Sunshine. The anonymous letter writer is a pupil of the serpent who entered the Garden and whispered poisoned words into the ears of our first mother. He sneaked around the garden, hiding his slimy coils in the beautiful foliage of that, till then, perfect creation, and waited his opportunity to falsify the words of the Creator to the innocent and confiding Eve. And so the writer of anonymous letters sneaks behind the disguise of changed chirography and sails under the false name of an "unknown." Cowardly assassin that he is, he tries to wound the feelings of others, to stab the reputation of better than he is, to make trouble Jjetween friends and to cause sorrow and morti fication. His language smacks of the place where the devil holds training school for such characters, and would becloudeven the sun itself. If he suc ceeds in wounding he has a diabolic laugh and gloats over the pain he has caiised, as the vulture toys with its prey. Nothing in this world is so despicable, nothing that so much de serves the bitterest condemnation. Durham Sun. Woolen Mills Burn. By Wire to The Telegram. Lisbon, Jan. 11.
