GoMsboro, N. C. Nov. 30. Special.
A young couple from Kinston got off
the train this morning and made their
ay to the office of the register of
de-ds, where they asked for license to
g' t married. The youthful appearance
of the young lady caused the register,
who had once Deen in a little trouble
aiiour issuing license to a couple under
sue, to refuse the . request and also
teemed to cause the young couple right
niuch embarrassment. -After repeated
requests for license and much impor
tuning by both parties, and the obsti
nate refusal of the register, the couple
admitted that this was their fourth at
tempt to get license in as many differ
ent counties. They stated that .they
lived 'in Lenoir county not far from
Kinron. Notwithstanding the fact that
the law had baffled their attempt at
I'litrriage, they still seemed to be happy
to-other, and departed on the afternoon
ti iiu for their homes resolved to wait

AG TkW
gers there was a lively contest between
Ewing Bland of Missouri, son of ','Sil
ver Dick," F. B. Knight of Georgia,
and Messrs. Wilson? of. Kentucky, and
Browning of Virginia. Mr. Bland was
named by Representative Benton and
seconded by Representative Pierce of
Tenness, in a strong speech, in which
he recalled the services of Mr. Bland's
distinguished father. The vote stood
Knight 94. "Bland 84, Wilson 24 and
Browning 84.
Resolutions were then declared to be
in order, and Representative McClel
lan of New York, presented a resolution
adopted by the Democratic members jf
the. New York delegation ihis morning,
denouncing the policy of "protection on
the products of trusts ana pledging the
Democratic1 party to tariff revision, also
to antagnisin to a ship-subsidy such as
was proposedin the last congress,
characterizing it as protection, and de
claring that the money collected from
the people should be devoted to tlr;
benefit of the people exclusively
The resolution provoked a lively de
bate, not so much on account of the
spirit and intent of the resolutions, but;
against taking any such action at this
tinrj.
Representative Richardson of Tennes
see, saia the caucus had been called to
nominate House officers and not to de
fine policies. His counsel was accepted
and a motion was carried that the
chairman appoint a committee of
twelve to which all resolutions should
be referred. This committee is to re
port January 10 at a caucus to be called
for tis purpose.
The following, resolution was offered
by Representative Fiuley of South Car
olina: "Resolved, That Hon. James D. Rich
awisorf and the Democratic member of
the House Committee on Rules when
appointed, and three members to be
appointed by them, constitute a com
mittee to have in charge the control )f
the policy of the Democratic party in
tne House of Representatives except as
ordered by a caucus of the party."
Mr. Burleson of Texas, offered the
following: V-
"Resolved, That every representative
in congress participating in the caucus
shall be governed by the action of said
caucus, where same does not conflict
with the declaration of principles and
policies set forth in the last platform
adopted by the Democratic party in
National Convention , assembled;
"Resolved, That the best interests of
the Democratic party will be subserved
by the membership of said party in
congress refraining from soliciting pat
ronage at the hands of the administra
tion." This resolution was presented by Rep
resentative Fitzgerald of New York:
'"Resolved. That we oppose any inter
ference with the existing standard of
values. That question has been settled
by repeated and overwhelming expres
sions of popular sentihient, and must
be definitely closed by the statutory
recognition xf gold as the sole standard.
Th 3 Democracy of New York have the
very greatest respect fo? their brethren
who for many , years sought the estal
lishment Of a bimetallic standard, but
the interests of capital and labor alike
and, aoove all, the interests of the wage
earners of the country forbid that th?
legal standard of value be uncertain."
Representative Newlauds of Nevada,
offered this:
"Resolved, That an advisory commit
tee be selected, consisting .of one mem
ber from each state selected by the
Democratic delegation of such state, of
which the leader of tne minority shall
be chairman and the whip shall be sec
retary." -
there was a large number of small cases
which consumed the entire week.
The figures which Mr. J. B. Falkner,
a farmer who lives in this county, ex
hibits as the aggregate weight of three
hogs wiU eiisily place him tho champion
pork raiser of the county. He killed
three hogs this week which weighed
o!8, 380 and 480 poinds respectively,
the last two -being ouly nine months
old. This sets a pace that is hard to
beat. '
Capt N. B Parker. Jr., won the first
prize yesterday at the annual targst
practice of Co. D. Second Reg. N. C. S.
G., o? this city. Corporal Will Daugh
tery, won the second prize. These prac
tices are the'occasiou of much enjoy
ment for the whole company and the
contents arc exciting. Much good is ac
complished and as the contests arc open
to all the general marksmauship is im
proved. The free show and band concert by
tjie Harrison iiiir.strels in front of the
Hotel Kennou-today at noon attracted
as many people as would a circus pa
rade. The minstrejs gave a show to-
n'.vht under a tent and also drew a
large crowd. The show will disband
here and the proprietors will go to their
homes in Wilmington, Del.
Both the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Southern Railway are offering very
cheap round trip tickets to Charleston
on account of the Exposition. The A.
C. L. will sell season tickets for $12.10;
ten day tickets $S.85, an- seven day
tickets on sale Tuesday and Thursday
of each week for $5.70. The Southern
will sell season tickets for $13.50; ten
day tickets for $9.90, and seven day
tickets on sale Tuesday and Thursday
for $7.00.
The subject of locating the city hall
and market is still engaging the atten
tion of a numoer of Goldsboro people
and the preponderance of opinion seems
to bo in favor of the site adjoining the
court house square, on which is now
situated the Farmers' warehouse. This
location is more central than any of the
other-sites suggested and would, there
fore, be more convenient to all the peo-
pie of Goldsboro. The city authorities
will not, of course, try to please every
body, but they shoulSTiave in view the
convenience and pleasure of the major
ity when they come finally to decide
the question.

"Have 3011 anything to say?" the
judge asked.
"Only that I am not guilty," respond
ed Tucker.
"Of course you are not," said Judge
Wofford. "Any man who would knock
an old gray-haired woman in the head
and then rob her wouldn't tell a lie
about it. It's funny that. the description
of the man who did it should fit you,

"Yes, sir," assented Tucker,
"Fifty years tin the penitentiary would
be too little for such a man, wouldn't

"Yes, sir."

Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 30. There has
been a good demand during the past
week on all numbers of yarns except
40 s. The coarse numbers from 8's to
16's seem to have been more carc
than at any time during the past six
months, and this is gratifying to those
:nills which have been on these numbers
and now they sec a profit on these
counts. The suppiy is not sufficient it
is said, to fill all orders for these coarse
numbers, which are brought into de
mand by tho demand in the carpet
trade. '
Buyers want to shade top price for
S's 3 ply less than 13 cents, but spinners
will not accept a penny less. Quite a
number of sales have been made of 14-2
and 16-2 warps and skeins; at 14 cent?
plump. Mills are sold up for about
thirty days, and the general feeling !
seems to be improved. Curtailment will
result when mills now changing from
yarns to sheetings have completed this
change. Yarns will be in better de
mand. Prices are as follows:
Warps 12' s to 14's, 13 cents; 16's to
IS's, 14 cents; 20's to 22's, 14$ to 15
cents; 30's, 16 cents; 40's 21 to 22
cents; 2 ply: i4's" and ,16's. 14 cents;
20's, 14 cents; 24's, 15 cents; 30's,
17 cents; 40's, 22 cents.
Carpet Yarns 8-3, 13 cents; to 4-9
stock reel 13 cents; 3-16 to 4-10 soft
twist, 14 cents.
In cloths a somewhat better state of
trade is reported. However, there has
been a slight decline of about J cents
in several numbers which were recently
advanced and are now back at former
figures.
Prices are on a basis of from 3J to
41 cents on plaids; 4J to 5 cents on 3,40
yard sheetings; 4 to 4$ for 4 yard
sheetings; 51 to 5J for 2-85 yard drills.

the conference - will swell the number
to sixty-five or seventy.
If the weather should be pleasant
there wid be hundreds of visitors from
nearly all sections of the conference.
All indications point to a harmonious
session, though the publishing house
claim and one or two other matters may
bring about discussions that will be
warm and spirited. -'
There are nearly seventy thousand
Methodists in the North Carolina Con
ference, and about seventy-four thou
sand in the Western Conference, or ;.u
round numbers 144,000 communicants
of the M. E. Church, South, .'n the
state.
The growth of the denomination in
the state has been marked.
The conference was divided in 1890,
the last session of the old conference
being held at Greensboro in 18S9; and
Bishop Hargrove who presided on th.it
occasion comes back in twelve years to
find eacn conference nearly grown to
the size of the old North Carolina con
ference; but it should be borne in mind
that quite a slice of the Virginia con
ference was ceded to the North Caroli
na conference in northeastern North
Carolina ,and also west of the Blue
Ridge to the Western North Carolina
conference which was formerly a por
tion of the Holston conference.

Wakint tho Dead
(The Boston Post.)
Our friend, Col. Bingham, will have
bis little joke. The other day, saunter
ing along Tremont street by King's
Chapel, he caught the" eye of what he
look to be a rural visitor, and,indeed, of
what proved to be such. "Sub-way un
der here." said the Colonel.
'Is they?" replied the stranger.
"They is," reaffirmed the Colonel.
