Editor: Telegram: This is the topic uppermost in the minds of those who study the true'Jinterests'' andjWellfare of the people. A study of those inter ests and the present conditions for transporting farm products unavoida bly forces us to but one conclusion: Macadami7e the roads. No better time to begin this' impor tant work than now. The 11292.00 already subscribed by citizers will go a long ways towards putting the work in practice. Let the commissioners procure a plant at once. Good machinery can be had on favorable terms. Plans and specifications of road, with regard to strictest economy, can be provided. But this requires money. . Yes! But are you not already spending money? "A thing that is worth doing at all is worth doing well," applies with irre sistible logic to road-building. Citizen. In flemorlam. The shadow of death fell upon the household of Mr. O. C. Wysong in the morning of Feb. 25th, 1899. The father and mother are called to mourn the departure pt their infant son. Miles Kuthven. lor fourteen months this little child had been spared to gladden their lives. By his sweet winning ways he had won a strong hold pon many hearts. His stay upon earth, though a brief one, has not been in vain. He will be an attraction n the home above. -Weep not, fond. parents.he has gone to Him who "took little children in His arms and blessed them." The parting, though sad, is over, and now by faith may you be enabled to look beyond earth and earthly things to the reunion in Heaven, when sorrow shall have for ever folded her sable wings, and all is joy and peace and love. riaoy Falls. The skating rink was opened to the "culud population" last night, the occasion being a cake walk.

GREENSBORO ATTRACTIONS Have Been Called to the Attention of the New Englanders. -Editor Evening Telegram: Observing notice in your ifsu'e of 24th inst., regarding proposed souh era tour of the New England Newspa per Leapue: I had previously writ ten these parties, suggesting that Greensboro possessed attractions, which we would like considered, and if they would include our city in their itinerary, it would doubtlessly be a pleasure to our citizens, to extend a hospitable ,and courteous welcome. This league Is a combination of eleven of the most powerful and influential daily papers of New England, com posed of Boston Traveler; Fall River News; Manchester Union; Lewiston Journal; SpringfleJa News; Hartford Post; Portland Express; Providence News; Lowell Mail; Concord Monitor; and Burlington News. These papers reach aU sections of New England, and people who .are wanting investments, and especially In touch with the great cotton manu facturing interests of that section, in which development we are- so exten sively interested, thrdugh the hundred or more mills around us. - The league will travel in special cars, and spend six weeks In the south. Dally letters wlU be published In the papers named, giving accounts of the observations, reception, advantages of the various sections along the route; and other in formation, which will be read by hundreds of thousands in the north, showing.the resources and progress of the south, as seen by representative New England men. Upon return home of the league, a large southern edition will be issued by all these papers, which will elaborately set out all points of interest to capital and home seekers, that have been visited. It is an established fact, that several billion of dollars are idle in New England, waiting an opportunity for wise invest ment, and by concerted effort, we bhould see that Greensboro occupies a prominent position in this grand write up, which will place her advantages and opportunities in almost every home In New England. This can be done, but like all things which succeed,. requires persistent and systematic work. G. T. Kearsley. Complimentary German. A delightful dance was given at Mc- Adoo Hall lastevening, complimentary to Miss Lelia Virginia Price, of Vir ginia, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Price on Lindsay street. The german was led by Mr. John W . King with Miss Sara Earl DeButts, and was participated in by about eighteen couples. Dancing began ear ly in the evening and it was far into the morning hours before the merry tripping ceased. The occasion was a most enjoyable one, as was declared by one and all. The chaperones were MesdamesPrice and King. Miss Price was very be comingly attired in white chiffon over blue silk, wearing- American beauty roses, with diamonds. ' Will Not Open Tomorrow. Messrs. Harry & Belk Brothers will not open their store for .business to morrow as waa expected. Some of their most needed dry goods and also their show cases have failed to ai rive and, wishing to make a good Impres sion on Greensboro, Mr. Harry has decided not to open until these things can be put in place. The new firm to day added two new clerks to the f$rte. Mi98 Annie Tate, of this city has ac cepted a position with them and Mr. Walter Crowell, who has been em ployed in Belk Brothers' branch store at Monroe, has been transferred to this place. The Telegram extends him a warm welcome. Criminal Docket Completed. Judge Bryan and Solicitor Brooks have been rushing business in court ye-teiday and today and the last case on the criminal docket was tried this afternoon. No cases of Importance were ried yesterday or today! The civil docket will be taken up this af ternoon. The Wrong Way.

SOUTH IS VITALLY INTERESTED. Senator Prltchard Presents a Petition to Have the First North Carolina -Regiment Mustered Out. Special to the TelectTam. Washington, Feb. 28 At the pre sent time the indications are that the river and harbor bill cannot reach the conference stage before Thursday afternoon. It Is very likely that it will never get out oT the committee on rivers and harbors, as the opposition in the committee to the Nicaraguan canal amendment is strong, and there is a disposition on the part of some members to defeat the entire bill rather than to allow it to go through with the amendment attached. As shown here tofore the south is vitally Interested in the measure, having many impor tant items, aside from the Nicaraguan Canal proposition, and many of the southern ' representatives, especially those from states like Florida, Geor gia and Mississippi, which have valu able local propositions in the bill, in order to save it from destruction, would, if given the opportunity, vote to surrender the canal proposition. There is a strong sentiment in the house, however, as well as in the sen ate, in favor of the construction of the canal, and it is the disinclination on the part of some of those who favor it, to yield the amendment, which endan gers the bill. The river and harbor committee Is now giving hearings to various - dele gations coming to Washington for the purpose of urging the retention of local items added by the senate. The bill cannot in any event be reported before Wednesday from the committee, and the chances are that it will not be reported, if at all, before Thursday. With only three or four days then re maining- of the session, the chances for an agreement on the differences be tween the senate and the house, which are radical", will be remote. There is a plan on foot among the friends of the canal, if the bill is reported, to move a general concurrence, and it is the fear that this irotion may pass, which may lead a majority of the river and harbor committee to hold it up. Last night a democratic caucus of the members of the house was held in the hall of the house of representatives for the purpose of taking action re garding the McEnery resolution, which passed the senate some days past. Among those in attendance was Representative Kltchin, of North Car olina. Mr. Kltchin is one of the active members of the North Carolina delegation, and is accomplishing good service for the state this session. The fact that he will be a member of the next house puts him in a position to exert much influence with the majority as -well as with the minority. This afternoon in the house of repre sentatives, under the special order adopted yesterday, the consideration of public building bills is In progress. The special order expires at six o'clock, at which hour the house mu3t adjourn. There are bills for public buildings pending of interest to North Carolina, amoBg tne towns interested oeing Winston and Durham. The chances are that none of the North Carolina bills will receive corsideration, and as today will be the last day to be de voted to measures of this character the measures will be killed for this session. Senator Pritchard was at the war department yesterday and called on Secretary Alger for the purpose of presenting a petition for the mustering out the First North Carolina regiment, which is now doing police duty in Cuba. The men are anxious to return to the United States. Mr. Pritchard Is of the opinion that the department will order the regiment to be mustered out. Among well known North Caro linians in the city yesterday was Dr. J. J. Mott, a well known North Caro lina politician. He is registered at the Ebbitt house, and will be in Washington for a few days. Senator Butler secured the addition of an item in the river and harbor bill for the improvement of Town creek. The amendment orovides for a five foot channel from its mouth for a dis tance of twenty-five miles. The sena- tor is hopeful that the house will con sent to retain the amendment. Postmasters have been appointed in North Carolina as follows: Winston L. Alberty, Alberty, Surry county; Adella A. Roughton, Day, Tyrrell county; J. F. Coward, Co warts, Jackson county; Aliee L. Messick, New Castle, Wilkes county. Children's shoes strengthened and reinforced with A. S. T. Co's. tips, last twice as long as ordinary shoes' and don't cost any more. Sold in Greensboro by Thacker & Brockmann THE LAST WEEK. Signs Now Point to an Early AJourn ment of Legislature. - The legislature yesterday began up on what will probably be the last whole week of this session. It will be a week of work. For there is yet much to be done. . Most of it, however, has been care fully considered in committee or de cided upon in caucus, and need not therefore consume any. great amount of time in legislative session. The house yesterday disposed of some knotty old questions the oyster claim bills and the revenue act, for instance and cleared the deck of a great number of local bills. Owing to last night's caucus an after noon session was held, and from now on there will be two. sessions daily, morning and afternoon or night. To day it will be an afternoon session, as there is another caucus tonight. Just what day the general assembly will adjourn -or take a recess no man can now say. Some think it is possible to finish up the work by next Monday. Others name Wednesday, while still others think it will be Fri day. In the meantime the mills of legisla tion will grind rapidly this week and close inspection of the grist will be a matter almost entirely for the commlt-tees.-News and Observer. Wash-out on A. & Y. Road. The heavy rain on Saturday night caused a wash-out on the Atlantic & Yadkin road at Moore's Creek, eleven miles from Wilmington.
