Immediately after the completion of the Southern's new depot the railroad yard will undergo an almost complete change The transfer shed, old depot and superintendent's and dispatchers' offlc building will bo torn away and the turn table will probably be moved also, though Superintendent O'Brien today told a Telegram re porter that he was not certain about the latter. . Just how the tracks will be ar ranged on the new yard has not yet been fully decided, though Mr. O'Brien says that a line of tracks parallel to each other will extend be yond the site now occupied by bis office building. The main line will be laid to the best advantage, making very little curve on the east end of the station. Citizens would welcome the removal of the tarn table and it is hoped that the officials may see fit to give it some other position on the yard, as so many engines standing so near the side walk makes the street appear very unclty-llke. There will be no grumbling, however, as the Southern has shown a marked willingness to improve the appearance of the street when it could do so without great cost and disadvantage to Itself. NOT INHERITED. Seven Sutherland Sisters' Beautiful Hair Produced b Using Tonics. "Too many people have erroneous Impressions as to how the Seven Sutherland Sisters attained their phenomenal growth of hair," says Manager Curlel. "Many people be lieve that the sisters inherited their hair, when the fact is, it was pro duced by careful treatment and the correct use of hair preparations for mulated by their father, Rev. Fletcher Sutherland. Several years ago, when Mr. Suth erland resided in Lockport, N. Y., he began to lose his hair to an alarming extent. The family physician pre scribed a tonic, but it did not prove satisfactory, and, being a great stu dent of chemistry, Mr. Sutherland concluded to experiment, with the aid of his physician. The result was very satisfactory. The hair and scalp were not only restored to their original healthfulness, but the new hair as sumed a soft, glossy condition, highly pleasing. "Mr. Sutherland then treated the hair and scalps of his seven daughters, with a result well known all over this country. "There is practically no reason for thin hair or baldness," continued Mr. Curiel. "If the hair and scalp are regularly and thoroughly cleansed with non-injurious washes, and then properly groomed and treated with a meritorious hair grower, millions of people, especially ladies, could possess as luxurious hair as enjoyed by the Seven Sutherland Sisters." Lieut. Shlpp's Body. Mr. F. H. Busbee leaves this morn ing for New York to receive the re mains of his son-in-law, Lieut Wil liam E. Shipp, from Cuba. The casket containing the body was expected to arrive on the "Roumania " but a telegram from the quarter mas ter general's department, received in Raleigh yesterday, stated that tney will arrive on the "McOlellan," which is expected to arrive in New York to day or tomorrow. Mr. Busbee, who is the father of Mrs. Shipp, will accompany the re mains to North Carolina, whose people have a soft place in their hearts for his memory and feeling a great pride in the manly man and brave, hero'c soldier. Morning Post. He Should Have Stayed Away. Alex Walker was tried before Squire Eckle this afternoon on a charge of stealing a set of harness from Mrs. Marv Pllnt, two years ago.

TO PRODUCE A HARDY FRUIT An Att'tnpt Being Made to Hybrl tflze Oranges. EXPERIMENTS ARE ENCOURAGING A Number of Hybrid Plants to Be Planted In South Carolina and Other Southern States. SpeoUl to Tn Tuauk. Washington, March 14 Professor Webber, of the agriculture bureau, who has been experimenting for some months to ascertain some process to hybridize oranges, so as to produce a fruit which will withstand the frost; will leave in a few days for the south, and will be absent from Washington for some time. During his absence he expects to visit North and South Car olina, Georgia, Florida and perhaps other southern states, for tne purpore of continuing his experiments. Prof. Webber has produced a hybrid orange tree from the sweet orange of Indian river, and the trifoliate, a rugged and hardy fruit growing In Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; the latter fruit is very sour and can be used only for preserving. The experiments have so far met with good results. The Professor in his trip will take a num ber of these hybrid plants with him. They will not be in condition to pro duce fruit for at least three years, but he Intends to plant them In various parts of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and probably will try some experiments in North Carolina, in or der to test their ability to resist the severe frosts which frequently occur. Professor Webber was seen at the agriculture department the other day, and he showed some of the results of his experiments, explaining the pro cess of hybridization. He is much en couraged by the results of his efforts so far, and believes that the tests to be made in the south will fully repay both himself and the department of agriculture for the time and labor which have been expended. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of Hon. Joseph Bailey, of Texas, from the contest for the democratic leader ship of the r ext house, many repre sentatives in Washington believe that he will be renominated as the minority candidate for speakership. Repre sentative Swanson, of Virginia, who has been a supporter Of Mr. Bailey, is of the opinion that he will again be chosen. In speaking about the matter the other day, Mr. Swanson said that Bailey is the best man for the leader ship of the fifty-sixth congress, and he thinks a majority of the democratic members will be of the same opinion. The opinion at the war department is that the First North Carolina regi ment will be muBtered out of the serv ice at Savannah, Ga , although it is possible that the mustering out may be done at Raleigh, which it would seem would be better, so far as the members are concerned. J. Fred Oertel, of North Carolina, has been appointed a clerk In the sec retary's office, treasury department, at one thousand dollars per annum, being transferred from the office of the l eneral appraisers at New York city, where he has been stationed hereto fore. Senator Quay, who is at San Lucie, with his family, has been sent an invi tation by Senator Hanna to join the presidential party at Thomasvll!e, Ga. Nothing is known about the in tentions of Senator Quay, but the opinion Is expressed that he may go to Thomas-iile the latter part of the week for a few days. Senator 3anoa stated Monday afternoon before leav ing Washington for the south that there is absolutely no political sig nificance in the president's visit to Georgia, notwithstanding the pub lished reports to the contrary. The president goes south merely for recre ation and t enable bin:, to rest from the burden of the strain to which he has been subjected for so .many months. A. P.

To all Comrades: 1. It has been suggested to the gen eral commanding, and he heartily en dorses the request, that all department, division, brigadier and camp com manders will take steps to collect as many of the old "Battle Flags" and flags of the Confederacy, and banners and ensigns of every description, which waved over the Confederate armies, as possible, to be displayed at the Charles ton reunion. There are a great many no doubt through the south in private hands, at the headquarters of the different camps, and at the state capitals, etc., and it would be in keeping with the grandeur of the occasion, upon this visit of the old soMiers to the chief city of the great state which gave birth to the Confederacy, and where the first gun of the war was fired, to take with them the historic . flag which waved over them there at Forts Moul- tiie and Sumter, and the other three, with all the other banners and ensigns which floated over them amidst the smoke and carnage of more than two thousand battle fields, before they were furled forever at Appomattox. The general commanding hopes that an effort will be made through publi cation in the papers f and otherwise so as to secure the largest number possi ble for this purpose. Doubtless many flags will be taken care of by the delegates and others to whom they. are entrusted, but where it is necessary that they should be sent by exprees, they can be sent to the special care of Major General C. Irvine Walker, com. the S. C. div U. C. Vs., Charleston, S C, who will arrange a safe depository for them while there. 2. Col. Robt. P. Evans, chairman committee on information, Charleston, S. C, stakes that on and after the 15th Inst, his committee will be in a posi tion to give any information as to bousing quarters, rates of b ard, etc., to delegates desiring to attend the re union.
