In the city of Philadelphia alone he has tilled lo"2 engagements, giving "2.00i entertainments in the two States of New York and Pennsylvania.

MATICS STEPS DOWN. I Rather Than Be Removed From Office lie Sent in His Resignation." The atmosphere surrounding the public school matters of Vance conntv is clearing up. The once deposed, afterwards reinstated but always ob jectionable County Supervisor, A. M. Matics, has finally loosed his hold upon the public pap and .steps down and out. Fortunate as the people are to get rid of him under any cir cumstances there is a prevailing opin ion that he has been permitted to es cape too easily to resign instead of being removed from oilice by the State Board of Education. However, since we are to have no more of Mat ics rule that ought to suffice. The following which is taken from the Raleigh I'ost of last Thursday is self explanatory: 'The good pi-opie of Vunee are rid of MaticH, the odious Supervisor of that county, who has so long defied the best St IlCllieiit of the people there. Mat ics received a rupe vine tip that his name would be mud after the tneet iuir of the State Board of Education last niy;!it and he i-howered letters of resigna tion upon the members of the Board yes terday. Governor Hussell, Superinten dent Mebane and Attorney General Wal ser, each received letters from Matics containing his resignation. In his letter to the Attorney General there was an ac companying letter from his counsel, which was connected with the resigna tion by a string- 'The Attorney General was told to withhold the letter of resig nation in the event that the Board shon'd sustain him. The fears of Matics were realized. His resinat ion was accepted and with a de (rree of much satisfaction. Tile State Board (hclared the office of County Su vei visor of Vance vacant and directed the County Board to proceed with an election. 'This was the action of the board last niht. 'Then; was present, on behalf of the out raged people of Vance, Messrs. T. M. Pittman and R. S. McCoin. 'The State Board of Education has at la-t awoke to a realization of the intoler able conditions existing in the education al affairs of Va nee and it is almost cer tain that tic p,e.-ent County Board of Ed 'cation, which forced the distasteful Vat ics pa t he people, will be i a vest igated. It was le.ii-iied from a member that while the State Board did not take formal ac tion last nitiht, it was the understanding that the County Boa-d is to be thor oughly investigated. 'The members of the County Board who are likely to walk the plank with Matics are P.. M. I io'deii, W. II. Jenkins, and W illis Henderson, colored. 'The people of Vance are to be con gratulated upon their victory for the good of their county schools. 'The entire county school system needs tobepurged. It is an outrage upon civilization that such as a representative and intelligent conntv as Vance should be fettered with negroes at the head of its educational institutions. In every township in the county, with two exceptions, the negroes ha vethreeout of the five township school committeemen. A nice lot of wjnter Seed Oats at II. Thomason's. Call and see them.

Wester, in Henderson, at 1 o'clock, Wednesday, Feb. 8th, 1899, Mr. William FMwin Moss and Miss Xemina Florine Wes ter were happily united in matrimo ny. Rev. A. McCullen, of the Metho dist F2piscopal church, was the offici ating minister, the ceremony being performed in the presence of a small company of the immediate friends and relatives of the family. The hall and parlor were tastefully decorated, the darkened room being lighted with candles. It was a pret ty and impressive scene, the warmth and glow inside being in striking con trast with the sombre weather with out. Messrs. Norwood Thomas, Benj. Yarborough, Will T. Watkins and Robert L. Wester were the ush ers. The bride wore a beautiful and stylish traveling dress the groom being attired in a becoming suit of black and both looked happy and handsome. Mr. Moss is one of Henderson's worthy and popular young business men, a member of the lirm of the Watkins Hardware Company, and his bride is a most estimable young lady whose lovely traits of character make her a favorite with all who know her. Both have a host of friends who wish for them every success in this life. The bridal gifts were numerous and handsome, embracing the useful as well as ornamental in character. Immediately after the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Moss left for Franklin ton to spend a short while with rela tives of hers. -. . Two good second-hand Tandems for sale cheap at MOSS & CO'S. A Romance of Socks. The following romance of a pair of socks carries with it a moral that some of our county and town mer chants would do well to heed: "A story is told of an old bachelor who bought a pair of socks, and found attached to one of them a slip of paper which read: 'I am a young lady of 20 and would like to cor respond with a bachelor with a view to matrimony.' Name and address was given. The bachelor wrote, and in a few davs received this letter: 'Mamma was married 20 years ago. The merchant you bought those socks from evidently did not advertise or he would have sold them long ago. Mamma handed me your letter and said possibly I might suit you. I am eighteen years old."

It is seldom that one comes across a more beautiful thought more beau tifully expressed than the following from the pen of an anonymous writer in one of the Gold Leaf's exchanges: "As often and often a mother feels the baby's restless head pressing her breast a long time after the baby is dead, so when one is sitting alone in the twilighf, thinking of other and happier days, one will involuntarily put out a quick, glad hand to the one that w,as never slow to answer, but now there is no teuder, responsive clasp, and turning with a strong, keen throb of painful remembrance, one sees in the ghostly semi-dark ness only the empty chair, lonely and motionless, where once a beloved form rested and a warm heart beat. And many anil many a time, while the long hours of the night are beating r o i themselves away, one will leap from dreams of remembered kisses and stretch out empty arms in passionate longing and, Oh, I am almost sure that at such times our dead ones are with us once more. If they could only 0Uuj speak. . - - . The Norfolk Virqinian and Pilot has been studying figures and it dis . ID O covers some peculiarities worthy of mention in these constituting the present ear.

Services in Memory of Dc- Hoge. Richmond, Feb. 5. The service here this afternoon in memory of Dr. Moses D. Hoge was one of the most remarkable demonstrations of its character in the history of Church gatherings. The memorial service took place in the Second Presbyteri an church. Governor Tyler presided, and the lesson from the Old Testa ment was read by Rabbi E. N. Calisch, of Synagogue Beth Ahaba. Address es were delivered as follows: F'or F2piscopalians. Rev. Bishop Penick: for Baptists, Rev. Dr. W. F:. Hatcher: for Disciples. Rev. Dr. Dearborn; for Presbyterians, Rev. Dr. W. VV. Moore and Rev. Dr. R. P. Kerr,.

The Vance County Board of Education flay Be Made to Walk the Plank With flatics. Superintendent Mebane is after the Vance County Board of Education with a sharp stick. He is of the opin ion that they should be made to fol low the example of Supervisor Matics and is moving in that direction. The following letter as published in the Xetvs and Observer has been sent to each member of the Board. That paper says: Ihe members of the County Board of Education of Vance county have som very p;rave charges preferred against them. Superintendent of Public In struction Mebane says thfse serious charges are embodied in the evidence submitted iu the Matics case, which was heard recently by the State Board of Ed ucation. These gentlemen will be given a chance to exhonorate themselves if they can, of these charges. The board is composed of the following members: W. H. Jenkins, B. M. Holden, and Win. M. Henderson, the latter col ored. Superintent Mebane yesterday sent letters to all three members of the Board informing them of the serious charges which had been preferred against them. There is little doubt but that the board will be bounced unless resignations are quickly sent in. Thefollo wing letter was sent to W. H. Jenkins and the other members: W. H. Jenkins, Henderson, N. C; In the record sent to this office in the case of A. M. Matics, it appears that j our county board of education removed mem bers of the school committee of Hender son township without notice of the charge against them or opportunity of being heard, and without the thorough investigation required by section 2o, chapter 100, Laws of lS'JT, and to give color and support to your action adopted and entered upon your minutes a false record of your proceedings in re spect to such removal. It also appears t hat you violated the jurisdiction of the school committee by electing a teacher and establishing a school in Henderson district, such being the province of the school committee ex clusively. There is also on tile here writ ings signed by the members of your board asking the State Board of Fducation to discretit the judgment rendered by you in the Matics case, a course calculated to bring the board and the school manage ment of Vance county into disrepute. If these things are true I shall deem it my duty undersection 21, chapter 108, Laws of 1897, to report them for inves tigation. Before proceeding, however, I shall be glad to hear any explanation you may wish to offer. Very truly vours, CHAS. II.

Reavis, near town, was the scene of quite apretty marriage on the evening of Jan. 25th, 1899, when his second daughter, Miss Vitula Green, became the wife of Mr. John Spain, of this county. The rooms were tastefully decorated with evergreens, which, together with the cheerful glow of firelight and bril liancy of the dying sunbeams, rendered it a scene of rare loveliness. Promptly at half past four the fair, blushing bride, most bewitchingly attired in a lovely suit of green and cream satin, leaning upon the arm of the happy bridegroom, marched into the parlor, where, in the presence of a few friends and relatives, the Rev. Mr. Daily, in a most beautiful and impressive manner, pronounced the solemn words that made them man and wife. The bride is a young lady of rare beauty, both of mind and person, her mild disposition having won for her many friends and admirers. "To know her is to love her," and her husband is to be congratulated upon the wisdom of his choice. Thegroom is a wellkuownand popular young gentleman of sober, steady, in dustrious habits. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the home of the groom's father, Mr. Robert Spain, where a reception was given the newly wedded pair. As they sail forth upon the matrimo nial sea they are followed by the best wishes of their numerous friends for many, many years of joy and happiness. A FlilEMl. For La Grippe.

No assays have been made on the rock; it is not necessary, but pieces of the free gold ore, if ore it can be called, run over 500,000 per ton. "Joining this metallic body there is six feet of quartz that will run from 1,000 to 2,000 per ton. Managar Kilburn said: d do not like to say anything that will excite the people any more than they are at present. The metallic ore bodv has doubled in size both ways since yes terday morning. Some of the pieces of ore are 80 per cent. gold. I never saw such mineral, and I do not be lieve that its like was ever mined in this or any other camp in the world. We have had no assays taken on the? rock. A ton of it could be picked out that would run anywhere from 50. 000 to 200,000 per ton.' "Armed guards are watching the property. There is at least blocked out in the one level between the ninth and seventh levels 5,OuXJ,(KXJ worth of ore.' FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. Doings in the Legislature During the Past Week. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Raleigh, N. C. Feb. 7, "99. It has been decided that the State textile school shall be made a branch of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, instead of a separate institu tion, as was intended. 10. o) is ap propriated to erect the necessary buildings and it will be conducted without any expense to the State fur ther than the regular appropriation to the College. It is thought the bill as amended will pass easily. Senator .Glenn's bill providing that a local option election or prohi bition shall be held at any time one third of the voters may petition for it. has been one of the most discussed bills in the Senate. To-day it was withdrawn because it had been loaded down with so many amendments that Mr. Glenn thought, even if passed, it could hardly accomplish its object. There has been several bills in both Houses to reduce the fees of county officers and these have created .some opposition, especially from the small er counties, where it is claimed that the officers are not any too well paid anyway. When one of these bills came up in the House it was apparent that almost every other man wanted his county excepted from the provis ions of the act. There will doubtless be some reduction arranged for. An excellent bill providing for a shorter form of chattel mortgage and crop lien would have passed if it had not been overloaded bv legislators who were afraid some of their county officers would lose some fees. The bill to codify the laws of the State relating to insanity and the hi ts . stitulions for the keeping and treat tnent of the insane, has been passed by the Senate. It is a great improve ment on the present laws. The bill making it a misdemeanor to adulterate food products has passed the House and will soon pass the Senate. Heavy penalties are pro vided. To give an idea of the enormous mass of bills and resolutions now be fore Legislature, 1,00) bills, exclu sive of petitions or resolutions, have been presented in the House alone, besides the large number introduced in the Senate. The Legislature has resolved to adjourn on the 25th of February and that gives them only lifteen working days in which to dis pose of this immense amount of busi ness. It will take hard, steady work to accomplish it. The new Democratic directors of the penitentiary are: At large. M. L. Bryan, of Madison, W. C. Newland, of Caldwell, and Thomas B. Crowdcr, of Wake; 1st district, B. F. Thomp son; 2nd, E. L. Travis; ord, R. II. Ricks; 4th, J. W. Perry, 5th, W. II. Osboru; 6th, J. C. Davis; 7th, Jas. T. Legrand; 8th, Alfred Young: 9th, J. L. Gwaltnev; 10th, Dr. M. F. Mor phew; 11th, "j. II. Weddington; 12th, .Samuel L. Rogers. There is a general disposition on the part of this Legislature to make all the principal State officers elective so that the people may choose them at the ballot box. This is one of the features of the scheme to reorganize the Department of Agriculture. Ad ditional directors are to be appointed and they will elect a successor to Smith, but two years from now the people will elect the Commissioner of Agriculture. It is also designed that in the creation of the new railroad commission, the commissioners shall be elected by the people. ' Mr. Starus1 anti-trust bill which provides that those who purchase from a trust are not compelled to pay for the good 3 bought has aroused a great deal of oposition on the part of corporations and combinations. The Jim Crow car bill has not yet been reported from its committee, but is under discussion. Quite a large number of railroads, trusts, insurance, banking ami man ufacturing companies have been formed during the past week. Most of the bills on the calendar relate to changes in stock laws, relief of cer tain persons from taxes, putting old soldiers on the pension list, making certain streams legal fences, and such rainor bills. The amendment to the constitu tion agreed upon by the Democratic, caucus will undoubtedly be the suf frage act that will be submitted to the people. Chamberlain's Cough Semedy in Chi cago.
