WILL ALL WANT THEM. r i And tlreensboro should Extend an Immediate invitation The Telegram has twice spoken of tour through Dixie oi the New Eng land Newspaper League. Mr. G. T. Kearsley , of this city, is in correspond ence with the manager, Mr. C. F. King and the following letter was received by him today: Boston, Mass., Feb. 27, '99, Mr. G. T. Kearsley, Greensboro, N. C. Dear Sir: I have the pleasure of your esteemed favor of 24th inst. , and in reply w 11 state tha1- it will afford our party great pleasure to stop in Greensboro, provided we can arrango our itinerary so that we can do so. I very much fear however that we will be unable to visit all the points that we desire to while on this tour, as our time will be necessarily limited, and already I have received urgent invita tions to stop at 54 different points. I would suggest that you confer with Mr. David Schenck, Jr., with whom I enjoy a personal acquaintance, and you can rest assured that should it be the desire of your people to have our party see the advantages and resources of your section, we will make a strong endeavor to accept an invitation to pay Greensboro a visit. Party will be at Hotel Jefferson, Richmond, March 6th and 7th, and a reply to this letter addressed to me there will re ceive careful and prompt censidera- tiou. Yours very truly, C. F. King, manager. We believe Greensboro is thoroughly alive to the value of advertising and that all will readily see how desirable it is that these people be invited to stop here and that the invitation be backed in such a manner that they will stop. Of course Mr. Kearsley will reply to the above letter as di rected ( he is alive to the interests of Greensboro) but there should, in ad dition to his personal efforts, be a fur ther expression from the Industrial & immigration Association, or from any individual wno would litre to see Greensboro entertain these newspaper men for a day or two THE GODFREY FAMILY. A Remarkable History Famous as Military Bandmasters. The greatest name in military music the annals of any country or time have known is that of Dan Godfrey. However, the distinguished band master of the Grenadier Guards is not the only member of the family who h;is achieved distinction. Dan Godfrey comes by his musical knowledge and gifts as a military leader honestly for his father before him was Charles God frey, who became bandmaster of the Co dstream Guards about 1825 and re mained at the head of that regimental band for over thirty years. He had several sons, three of whom, Dan, Fred and Charles Godfrey , were band masters, and at one time at the head of three crack bands in the army. Dan led the Grenadier Guards, Fred the Coldstreams and Charles the Scotch Fusiliers and afterwards the Royal Horse Guards, but of these brothers to quote an English newspaper) Lieut. Dan Godfrey was always the people's pet and it is noteworthy that he is the only musical conductor of Her Majesty's service who has received the rank of lieutenant of his regiment. - There was still another brother in this distinguished family, George Wil- iam Godfrey, the well known play-. wright who wrote the jParvenn, "The Queen's Shilling," "My Milliner's Bill," and many other "plays. The greatest Godfrey of them is coming to America with the finest mil itary band in the world and . the musicians whose fame be has made.

A LIYELY SCRAMBLE COMING Over the River aud Harbor BUI With Its Mcaraguan Canal Attach ment Other. News. Special to Thb TelekJbam. Washington, Mar. 1-Under the .special order adopted Monday two public bills of interest to North Caro lina succeeded in running the gauntlet The first bill which passed the house was that appropriating $50,000 for the construction of a public building at Elizabeth City, North Carolina, which has been pending for some time. The measure had the supp rt of the entire North Carolina delegation, and went through the house with practically no opposition. The other bill was for the construction of a public building at Winston, North Carolina, which was also supported by the North Car olina delegation, and "which went through with very little opposition. J. he delegation from the state are much pleased at their success in get' ting these measures through the house and it is hoped they will become laws before adjournment. For the remaining few days of the session the work of congress is fully mapped out, so far as the house is concerned. This afternoon, it is prob able that the army reorganization bill will occupy chief attention and the river and harbor bill may also be re ported, in which event there is sure to be a lively scramble over the con struction of the Nicaraguan canal. Representative Burton in his opposi tion to the canal has the support of both Representative Cannon and Speaker Reed. Thursday and Friday in the house will necessarily be devo ted to passing upon the various con ference reports on the appropriation bills as they are presented, and to such other leaders may consent to have brought forward. Representative Davis, of Florida, stated that the committee on rivers and harbors will probably report the bill today and the plan is to send the measure at once to conference, sso separate action will be demanded on any of the items with the single excep tion of the canal proposition, but a formal motion to non-concur in all other senate amendments will be adopted. The members of the North Carolina delegation are of the opin ion that all of the items of interest to the state, and they are very few, will be retained in the bill, as added by the senate. The principal disagree ment in the conference- committee will be, it is believed, over the canal pro position, and the item to irrigate the arid ladtis, both of which items are contested by Chairmen Cannon and Burton. Among those who attended the recep tion given Monday night in honor of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, was Colonel James E. Boyd, of North Carolina. assistant attorney general. The recep tion was largely attended by southern people, among the guests being Mrs. Mrs. Meredith and Mrs. Claude. A. Swanson, of Virginia; General Wheel er and ex-Secretary Hillary A. Her bert. .It was given under the auspices of the Confederate Veterans' Associa tion of the District of Columbia. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, has introduced an amendment for the appropriation of four million dollars for theerection of a government plant for the manufacture of armor plate. The bill provides for the appointment by the secretary of the navy for the selection of a suitable site, and a board of three officers. The southern representatives and senators are mani festing much interest in the amendment and if it should become a part of the naval appropriation blfl, it is believed several southern cities would make a fight to seoure the plant. Charleston, S. C, and Newport News would both seek the prize. On account of the vast expenditure necessary it is not thought that the amendment will be success8fully pushed during this ses sion. Among prominent North Carolina people in Washington is Mr. R. G. Glenn, of Greensboro, who is stopping at the Ebbitt House. Mr. Glenn is much pleased with the election law passed by the legislature, and says if -it had been In operation last Novem ber, the country would have been spared such scenes as occurred at Wilmington. He says that the amend ment will be adopted by the voters of North Carolina by a very large major ity. The comptroller of the currency re ports that L. A. Carr.has been chosen vice-president of the -First National bank of Durham, N. C. The comptroller also announces his approval of the National Bank of North America, of New York City, as reserve agents fpr the City National Bank of Greensboro, N. C. New postoffice has been established at Jordan, Chatham county, North Carolina. THE GREAT flONEY BILLS. About To Be Disposed of Telegraphic News.
