' BUTLER AT THE WHITE HOUSE wh.t 1m Hs Ooinsr to See a Benub - lioan President for?, Seyeral Ru mors as to His Objeot, ; ' .Washington, May 26. Senator Butler called at the white house this morning and had a long conferenence with Presi ' dent McKinley, at the close of which he refused to say anything of its purport. The visit of the chairman of a party, which ha already nominated an oppos ing candidate for president, is somewhat unusual and has occasioned a renewal of the rumor that Butler was acting with the Republicans in urging the nomina- tion of Chas. A. Towns for vice-president and thns Dlaclnar theDemocriatc party in an awkward position. Before going t6 Sioux Falls Butler is said to have seen the president and other Republican lead ers and it is alleged bis mission to the white house today was to report the success of his enterprise. The "deal" which his service is said to have secured is that of getting a pledge of assistance from the administration in hisfigbtfor re-election. It is also rumored that the G. O. P. is to do all they can to promote fusion and harmony in the coming cam? paign in North Carolina. It was also ' rumored .that the senator's visit had reference to the Ewart case, it being said that new charges against Judge Ewart have been filed, covering matters of date even as recent as within the past week.

Sarxlns m. Spanish Klnc. Strange and almost weird is the cere monial which accompanies the burial of Spanish kings.

After lying in state for several days In the . throneroow In Madrid an Enor mous procession is formed, accompany ing the body to the Escurlal. A halt Is 1 made ou the way, and the corpse rests there for one night, t .;.-1 . In the morning the lord high cham berlain stands at the side of the coffin and says in loud tones, "Is your majes ty pleased : to proceed on your Jour4 ney?' After a short silence the pro cession moves on and winds up to the grand portal of the palace. These doors are never opened except to ad mit a royal personage, 'dead or. alive. When the casket containing the re nialns Is at Inst placed in the vault, the cbcmiseilafn unlocks it and. kneel ing down, calls with., a Joud voice "Senorl Sonorl .

One Hundred ' and Sixty-Eight ! Prominent Lawyers, After Hav ing Oarefully Considered It, Say It is Not fn Opnfliot With State or Federal Constitution. ', The undersigned lawyers, members of the North Carolina bar, after 1 having ex amined and considered the provisions of the proposed amendment to the consti tution submitted by the legislature of 1899 to the people for. ratification, give it as our opinion that the said amend ment is not in conflict with the State or the federal constitution. '. W further give it as our opinion that the 4th and 5th sections of said amend ment are so connected in subject matter, each so clearly dependent and conditioned upon the other that both must stand or fall together, and that it is too clear to admit of a doubt that : the 4th section cannot stand if the 5th section should be declared unconstitutional. ; t ' , y , It is clear this amendment, if -ratified, will not disfranchise, either now or here after, any person who was himself - en titled to vote at any time prior to 1867, or whose ancestors were entitled to vote at any time prior to 1867. either in this State or any state in the United States in which he then resided, provided he reg isters once before 1908 and does not thereafter become disqualified by crime.

The remains were buried today. Rev. Mr. Robinson conducting the funeral services. The bereaved hate our deepest sympathy. Our people are looking forward to a big day' here on the 16th day of June. Hon. Claude Kitchin and Hon. R. B. Glenn will be with us and address the people on the political issues of the day. They will be met several miles from Snow Hill by from 150 to 200 horsemen wear ing red shirts. Greene county will give a rousing majority for the amendment. A Misrepresentation; . We are requested to copy the following from the Beaufort Herald: ' In last Thursday's Raleigh Post the Goldsboro correspondent gives an ac count of a Sunday school excursion which was run from this place to Kinston , on Tuesday, the loth Inst, and refers to it as a "hot number" and further says that on the return trip "a general row occur red in which men were knocked over three and four seats, noses were mashed, eyes were blackened and things painted crim son red,", by the generation of ' giants which he says is not yet extinct in Car teret':; . " -h-C, ;v '. In justice to our M. E: Sunday school and the good people of Carteret county we wish to give the facts in the case just as they are, as the report given . by the Goldsboro correspondent casts an im proper reflection on the people of our county and especially on the M. E. Sun day school of this place as the excursion which he calls "a hot number" was run by this Sunday school. The party, numbering over , 600, was as sober and orderly as we have ever seen on such an occasion. ' There was no row at all on the trip except between the committee, appointed to preserve order in the cars and to, look , after any who needed to be looked after, as is invariably the case with some few on all excursions, and two or three men- who had "been drinking and were being transferred to another car by the committee, and that row did not at all become general, as was reported by the Goldsboro corre spondent. All the trouble was confined to one ear and only a few had any hand in it at all, and none of the Sunday school were in that car and but few of them ever knew that any row had occurred. It is true that the generation of giants in this county is not extinct, but it is also true, that a more peaceable, quiet, sober. God-fearing people cannot be found in any county than reside in old Carteret. At our last term of court, which lasted only one day on account of the very light docket, Judge Brown, in his charge to the grand jury said that since he last pre sided over a court here he had been over the entire State and in no county had he found a more peaceable, law abiding, God fearing people than in Carteret, as was shown by the very few cases on' the crim inal docket. :. , We hope The Post correspondent will be sure that he haa the facts as they really are when reporting Carteret Sun day school picnics before sending them to a paper for publication. . County Democratic Convention. At a meeting of the Democratic execu tive committee, held in Kinston on May 19th, the committee requested the white electors of Lenoir county to assemble themselves at their usual place of meet ing on Saturday, June 2d, to nominate town constable and elect delegates to represent them in the county Democratic convention which meets in Kinston on Saturday, June 9th, at 1 o'clock for the purpose of nominating candidates for the house of representatives, sheriff, reg ister of deeds, treasurer and other county officers. 1 In the county convention each pre cinct is entitled to the following number of votes: ' Kinston No. 1, 10, No. 2, 4; No. 8, 8; Falling Creek, 4; Moseley Hall, west, 3, east, 4; Institute, 4; Vance, 8; : Neck, . 6; Sand Hill, 8; Sooth West, 8; Neuse, 3; Woodington, 8; Trent, 6; Pink Hill, 4.

Wilmington Star, 26th: According to the statement of Percy, the religious fanatic, who is confined in jail, the time for his demise arrived yesterday, but Jailor Millie observed . that he seemed perfectly well and showed no signs of ''shaking off this mortal coil." He is eating everything that is laid before him and will have nothing to say on' the subject of dying. . : It appears very probable now that the unveiling of the Vance statue may not take place until the 11th or 18th of July. Three reasons are given for the postponement. , These are first, the lack of absolute assurance that the statue will be ready; second, the request of JulianS. Carr. the commanding officer uf tin United Confederate veterans, that, there be postponement, as he and others will be at the national Democratic con vention July 4; third, the fact that many notable men, senators, representatives etc., outside the State, will also be at the national convention. It is expected that there will be a large representation of congressmen. It is thought that many prominent Virginians will be invited, as well as veterans and military from that State, where Vance was so greatly be loved. In fact he was only a little .less near to Virginians than to his own peo ple. r - THE CRAVEN COUNTY CON VENTION, i Hon. Charles R. Thomas Endorsed for Congress.
