The Electoral College has recon ciled the conflict between the State and Federal laws and met in Ra leigh on last Tuesday to organize and get their commission trom the Governor on the following day. They will not cast a vote until their meeting in January in accor- j dance with the Federal law which must must prevail when it, and the State law come in con flict as was the case here. There is another law which must be con Btruedj as to when the Governor's term of office begins, caused by an act of the last Legislature. The law says ali terms of office must begin on January 1st, and also re quires that the Legislature must met, organize and count the votes for the vacant offices and announce the results all of which will re quire some time before the Governor-elect can be inaugurated which is estimated to delay bis en trance upon the duties of his of- hce until about January the 12th, the time heretofore adopted for his inauguration. We hope they will pass laws more cautiously this time than two years ago and under better legal advisors. " The Missing Link. Sensational news cornea to a waiting world to-day on the au-j ' thority of a French . traveler that "the missing link" has been dis covered and alive. Paul D'Enjoy, an explorer wha is investigating the unknown region of Indo-China on the frontier of Aunama, is the discoverer. He was traveling in a mountanious district, located in latitude 12 degrees, longitudo 104 degreed. It is a region of dense forests, in which are a number of savage race3, to approach which is often dangerous. Among them la a tribe called the Moi. One day as M. D'Enjoy wa9 going through the woods with a strong band of Ins tollowers he came upon a small group of Mois, who instant ly took to flight, with the excep tion of one individual, who was gatheren honeycombs in a tali tree. When he saw the travelers he came down the trunk with his feet flat to the bark, apparently not using the tail which he had, and attempted to escape, but they had surround ed the tree and atter a struggle ef. fected his capture. Some of the' party understood the Moi language for M. D'Enjoy says that the wild man gave them some information about his people though interrupt ed by sobs and howls. All his race, he stated, had tails, but they were losing them through intermarriage, especially in the case of those dwelling on the outskirts of the country, with tailless tribes. The wilds man's companions had es- j caped, but they left behind them in a tunnel-shaped hut built of dry jeave3, some polished stones, bain- j boo pipes, copper bracelets and bead collars. These, were said to be obtained from their Annemesi neighbors, with whom they oc casionally traded, though they are dangerous customers, and have no scruple in knocking a creditor on the head by way of payment. They are said to i brun their ,deaa and bury the ashes in bamboo pots, differing- in this, respect from the Chinese and )ther neighbors. The prisoner was savage in aspect, and that is the character of the race. Their hair i3 exceptionally rough, I sticking out like sputs of cocks, and the surrounding people treat them as savage beasts, and it ap pears as though they are being gradually exterminated. - Mr. D'Enjoys account is disap- It does not even describe the creature's tail and no height or color are. given. It only adds that many of the races have peculiarly accentuated ankle bones. The one he captured poisoned the coolie in charge of him and escaped. Charlotte Observer. Governor elect Ru.sseli makes a bid for the support of the Popu- j Jist Representatives for election to United States Senate and strikes a back banded blow at Senator Pri. jhard's financial policy in a recent interview.

The electoral college met at Viz 30 and was in sfssiou half an hoar Electors Davis, Craig, Freeman, (lowland, Thomas Keith, Klnttz. Gilmer, Bailey and Merritt were swomby Associate Justice Clark, who was invited by a committee tr administer the oath. All the electors save Tvre York were pres ent, ard a grapevine telegram brought the news that he was head ed toward Raleigh on the famous mule, "Gin'rel Jackson," of which due announcement was made to the college. R, B. Davis presided and Elector Merritt was secretary. 1 he elec tors bad no certificates. It seems that uhile the State law says the electors were to meet to-day, the "first Tuesday in December, it is only to organize and fill any vacan cies. But the law further Bays that tho Governor shall issue commis sions on or before the first Wednesday in December. On mo tion of Elector Kluttz the college adjourned, or rather took a recess, until noon to-morrow. Governor Oarr will return in the morning end issue the certificates. Elector Craig says the statue does not pro vide that the Governor shall fur nish these until to-morrow. There appears really to be a vacancy, as the law seems to make absence a vacaucy. Elector Freeman says he thinks that in case York fails to arrive the vacancy cannot be tilled to-morrow. Elector Kluttz, in speaking of the vote of the col lege, said that really no vote will bo cast until the January meeting. which is the legal one. It is said that the statement made a day or two ago that 9 per cent, of the private stockholders of the Atlantic tt North Carolina Railroad lavored its lease was iu correct, and that there is really much opposition to it. State Chairmau Ayer was asked to-day if it would be safe to bet $50 to S40 that Pritchard would bo re turned. He repliedj uXo, for Pritchard may come hero and pledge himself to vote for free sil ver. In such a case all hands might vote for him' Some of the brethren whisper that D. L. Russell has his eye on the Senate. It does not so appear. Bis interview, just published, is not along that line. It is said the iuterview has greatly angered the Dockery men. And to be suro Hoi. Dockery has friends. It is also learned on high author ity that a number of counties will ask the Legislature to allow them to adopt the dispensary law. It is asserted that in Haywood couuty it is found to work admirably. a i:n j:ij. t- s' i: vm. Postmaster Armour, vf !n - phis, is short in h:s accounts $12 -234.'

Nelson Thompson, who died iu ' York, Pa.,' last Saturday, foretold his deatli three weeks ago.altbough he whs iu a healthy condition. Thompson's mother-in-law had died of typhoid lever, and Thomp son then predicted that he would die of the tamo disease before the month was out. He made his will the next day and then took to his bed, from which he was taken a corpse. During his Thanksgiving sermon in St. Andrew's Episcopal church at Wilmington, Del., Thursday, Rev. Charle E.
