COUNTY SURVEYORS. "There is one other conclusion to which other incumbents o? this office, I" believe, all arrive, namely: that the office, of county surveyor as ;t is com monly filled in North Carolina is very imperfectly filled, and may be a source of untold annoyance to the Secretary of State, and of litigation among land owners hereafter. A large part of flic time of one man in this office, is consum ed on account of the im perfections in the work of county surveyors. If the office of county jmrvt-yor were abolished, and the commissioner allowed to name a special surveyor in each par ticnlar instance, or if the fees allowed f'Olllltv siirvprnrs wfrv Knff'fJTlii- in doce competent surveyors overw'nvi to accept fhe-office, I am of the opinion that it would lessen litigatio.i likely to arise hereafter and add to the comfort of my successors."

Ex-Speaker II. G. Connor went home yesterday. Mr. Connor introduced a bill in the House yesterday for the appoint ment of a stenographer to the Supreme Court. Thevsalary is to be $80 a nioatn. according to a provision of the bill. The judges of the court are forced to do much clerical work and it is right that the court should have a stenogprapher.

Though a young man, he will rjutidlv forge to the forefront in the Sen ate Besides being an ahle speaker, the force of Mr. Warren's pen will be re membered bv the excellent articla eon tributed on the constitutional amendment. The special committee of five which was appointed by the House yesterday to consider the bill increasing the salary of the governor from $3,000 to $4,C0d, met yesterday in the Supreme Court library. The committee spent some time dis cussing the matter, out reached no con clusion, action being postponeu until this morning. Opposition developed to the proposed increase in the salary of the governor. Major W. A. Guthrie op poses the measure as a matter of policy and he further holds that the bit! is un constitutional. Major Graham says the constitution declares that the term of the governor's office begins January st, and he is of the opinion that it would be a violation of the constitution to increase Governor Aycock's salary. Mr. Rountree of New Hanover, and wr. Hayes of Chatham, both members of the committee, are of tne opinion that the bill is not unconstitutional. They contend that Governor Ay cock is not tne Governor of the State and cannot until the result of the vote for state officers is officially declared and can vassed. When the bill comes up in the House today an amendment will be offered1 to make the salary 5,JU0 per annum. The amendment is assured of strong support and the oill may be sent back to the Senate' in amended form. The committee on Rules met yesterday afternoon in the Sperkers office. No changes were made in the old rules. The committee agreed that it would be neces sary to create new committees. Among the new committees will be those on Ju dicial Districts and Reapportionment of the State. The committee on Elections and Priv ileges, met yesterday atternoon ai me Court building, Chairman r. D. Winston presiding. It was decided that the next meeting should be held Thursday when deposi tions Avill be opened in the four con tested election cases. At that time questions of evidence may be raised and the time will be set for hearing the con tested cases. Mr. J. W. McNeill, who is contesting the seat of Representative Green from Wilkes, was present at the meeting yes terday with his attorney, Mr. J. V Holding of this city. The attorneys for Mr. Green arc Mr. C. M. Busbee of this ,itr nno Mr. R. N. Hackctt. of Wilkes. , Thev were also present. The joint committee on inauguration met yesterday afternoon at the Supreme building. Arrangements vrere made for an early canvass or tne vote, so that there will be no delay with th? inauguration ceremony. Tellers on the part of the House and Senate were ap pointed to add the vote.

THE WAV TO Haifa Million Grippe Cases New Y'ork, Jan. 11. The unseasonable weather and the opening of the streets have produced a condition in New lork which nhvsicians are forced, by a record of 500,0O0 cases of grippe, to regard n. Pth-cniplv danserous. It is true taat the disease, in its ravages, is milder than in previous years, but more persons are stricken and the danger to each victim is exactly proportioned on the care he takes of himself and the serious ness with which the first attack is com bated. The President Improving Washington, Jan. 11. The President's condition is reported to be somewhat improved. He rested better last night than any night since he was seized with the grippe. He is still confined to his bed, however, as a means of precaution against a relapse.

Wake Connty Court Will Probably Ad journ Today The present criminal term of thet Su perior Court will most probably adjourn some time today. Very few cases were disposed of yesterday, the most import ant being the continuance of the trial of Samuel -Mangum for the killing of Pete Griffin, until the next term. This is in accordance with the forecast made in yesterday's Post. Mangum will remain in jail until trial, as the true bill by the grand jury is for murder in the first de gree and is not bailable. The cases which came up for trial yesterday and disposition made of each were as follows: Fill Bryant, forgery, not -guilty. Annie Ilinton, false pretence; judg ment suspended. Vj. Marks, concealed weapon,. con- ! tinned. Andrew Pretty, assault with deadly weapon; sixty days on roads. Jerry Scott, larceny and receiving; judgment suspended on payment of costs. Koiiro Foster, larceny and receiving, four months on the road. Douglass Wilder, larceny and receiv ing, not pruilty. Will Massey, assault with deadly weapon, trial in progress when court, took recess until J:30 this morning. Faraman, Bouches du Ythone, Jan. 11. After a night of terrible suspense all tin' passenger and crew of the French teaii:ir Knssie from Oran, Algiers, which stranded near here during a viol ent storm Monday, have be.m safety landed. As the life line connected from tae shore with the .steamer parted ag rm j yesterday afternoon, when night s.t in no communication with the stranded steamer was possible. The last signaled message read as follows.: 'Ve have not ja scrap of food lelt. Consternation prevails on board." On l-eceint of this appeal the fisher men made t'o more plucky launches of their boat, but were beaten back, and as the llussie disappeared in the dark ness those on board were apparently trying to launch their only remaining boat. The storm raged with renewed fury during the night, and only thesi who were, compelled to do so remained on the shore. Pail of them huddled be neath a tarpaulin and. others found re fuge from the gale in the: Faiamm light house. Several vain attempts were made during the night to reach the vessel. At day-break, the vessel was reached by a Cairo life boat. A few minutes later the Carro boat left the Russie's side, heavily laden. As she approached th v shore the occunants were seen to be women and one baby. The. enthusiasm was delirious. The spectators plunged into tlie sea. Some of them dragged tne life boat ashore and others lifted th women out of the boat and carried them . - . 4-t. ...i, rl, ill, Q -ri to 111 tlieil .11 U1S UllUUf," l"- v. land. One woman was clasped in the arms ot her son who had been waiting on shore since Monday, lie swooned and had to be transported on a stretcher hastily constructed from wreckage and covered with blankets to the lifrht nouse. The other women collapsed from fatigue, cold and hunger. Their hag gard faces and trembling limbs told of the awful experiences they had gen? through. It was unfortunate that want of fore sight resulted in all the nourishment being kept at the lighthouse, two miles distant, for the sufferers had to walk there, assisted by their friends, before restoratives could be administered to them. . A four oared boat nest arrived with seven more passengers, and the life boats then made repeated journeys until all were saved and sheltered in the light house. For four Ions days raid nights th? P 'S- sen.srers and crew of the Russio have been in a state or terror. They hav? suil'ered the pangs of hunger, thirst an 1 fear, the latter the most powerful ' -cause of the belief that the vessel was going to pieces every minute. Write for catalogue.
