drawn to cover a special case.
'At noon, in compliance, with a
resolution, Dr. J L M Curry, agent
of the Peabody fund, addressed the
legislature In the hall of the house,
and was brilliantly introduced oy
Representative McRary, of David
son, who termed Dr. Curry a "oea
oon light of education in this gener
ation." Dr. Curry expressed his
thanks for the honor shown him and
in the assignment of the subject oi
the address, "education." This
was the third time he had been in- Curry replied that he would saytnat oeuiersi wi,ruary unlesssome

proposition; that the test of the mat

education. He had a document writ

I declared that it th. legislator,

not elevate the blacks the would
drag, them down- tothe uttermost
hell of Ignorance.
He declared that he would go to
bis grave with the belief that no
man should be allowed to vote who
is not able to read his ballot ,' He
read the Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and J4aine lawson this subject
If suoh law was needed there, with
a homogeneous Caucasian population
how much more was it needed here
in North Carolina, with two races,
separated by impossible barriers.
And yet there -were people who
wanted to support Cuba and place the
added burden of 750,009 blacks upon
the united States. No ignorant peo
ple were ever a prosperous people.
Wealth in part comes from labor,
but material prosperity depends
upon the education of the teople.
The greatest curse of the South was
when vessels came here freighted
with cargoes of Africans left here la
perpetuity as slaves. He spoke of
the immense advantages given child
ren in Massachusetts schools and of
those in Connecticut (At this point
Governor Russell entered and was
given a front seat,) He heard much
of the prosperity of the "New
South." Where is it? You may find
it in mining districts or along some
of therailways.bnt as to agrioulture,
things are not a whit better than
they were in 1865 bad roads, undi
verslfled employments, no Improve
ments In farm methods, idle, shift
less people. He said he was told j
there wore in North Carolina 10,000
hungry mouths waiting .or Federal'!
patronage to drop into th m,
What is needed is a, sl month's
school in each district, wi'6 a train
ed teacher in charge. He declared
a great mistake had, been, mi de years '
ago in abolishing supervision J
schools. He ridiculed si r da.ya
Lxemptably small salary pai l teach'
ers. "Anybody can toaoh a snbool,'
That is what the people say He
spoke of the Normal and Industrial
school at Greensboro, sayin Its
success was us parcelled lA th. his-

He said thoseare not normal schools.
They are not training schools, nod
ne gave noitoe 4ka ' W would th' eJfc,
tore withdraw the Peaooay iu

Governor that if the State wou'4
establish 2 real colored normal
schools the Peabody fund would aid

lishment an object. ' It' is proposed
ihat each State of the Soutn snail
s?ive $1,000 for the purchase oi a
statuoofPeabody to be placed in statu
ary hall at Washington, in grateful
memory of hisservlcesintheSottth's
hour of greatest need, for it was in
1867 that he made his grand gift,
when the South was in ruins and
desolate
There was great applause when
Dr. Curry concluded
Hon. Joslah Turner asked permis-
slon to ask Dr. Curry if he wouia, U
urry if he would, u
v, oih a member of the legislature,
vote to withdraw the annual appro-
prlation to the University, or
put a keg of powder under it. Dr.
ever did anything to injure mat

By a rising vote the senate ana

Marshall Mott will be the District
Attorney of the Western District.
Mr. Mott happens to have the en
dorsements that will secure to him
the position, and Qhairman Holton
will have to look elsewhere. Mr.
Holton Is reported as saying that he
would have the district attorneyship
or nothing. ,' . . .
- J udge Norwood, of the Supreme
Court Bench, will be impeached at
an early date, probably this week.
Spencer Blackburn and a few other
republicans are opposed to taking
Such an extreme measure, but Gov
ernor Uussell is determined teat
Judge Nor wood shall be unceremon
iously lemoved, and it Is under
stood that a majority of the members
otbe Senate share the same opinion
held by th Governor. Judge Nor
wood was unfortunate enough to get
on his first jag as a Judge at an East
ern court, which was attended bv
Judge Russell. The Governor, who
has very little patience with drunk
en men, became very much disgust
ed with Judge Norwood.
The latter gentleman has written
several members of the legislature,
and prominent republicans as well,
promising to mend his ways and ex
pressing the hope that no action be
taken in his case. A prominent re
publican remarked: "Judge Nor
wood had best resign, and his friends
should make him do so. He will cer
tainly be impeached, and by resign
ing he would save himself unneces
sary humiliation."
Major Hiram L. Grant, who is
chairman of the committee appointed
to make needed changes, in the elec
tion law and county government act,
gave to the Piufts-Visitor an outline
of the features, which, in his opin
ion, should be incorporated in the
pare a bill whioh will include bis
ideas on the matter. The. views of
the Senator from Wayne have the
endorsement of the members of the
party as well as a uumber of popu
lists and they will doubtless be in
corporated into the election law.
Maj. Grant said:
"There will be no radical changed
in the present electioa law, which
has proven highly satisfactory. It
must be made more stringent i
some respects in order to prevent
fraud. The wholesale printing of
bogus tickets will be stopped. I am
in favor of the State printing tickets
under the direction of the Secretary
of State. Let the Secretary of State
furnish the State tickets and
clerks of the court the county tickets.
Every ticket should be accounted
for and I think the Secretary of State
should take receipts for all tickets
issued and have those that are not
used, returned."
"I am in favor of the tickets being
printed in different colors. Every
man should vote secretly. 'The
most ignorant could Vote' intelli
gently by secret ballot, provided
the tickets are printed in colors. "
"All we "desire is. an honest elec
tion law, such,, as we now have.
Any changes that are made will be
with the one view of eliminating at
tempts at fraud. The present law
is endorsed bv the great mass of
people in the state. I am in favor
of submitting it to the people as a
constitutional amendment, so tuat
when a party of different political
faith comes in power i cannot be
changed. We ara filling to stand
or fall on the mewts of our election
law.".
At least two members ot the pop
ulist minority have st.'d that the
members who supjorted Pritchard
obtained a written agreement from
the repolicaus to" the effect that
the would' stiwfd "by the bolting
populists throughout the legislature,
and aef. with" them, whenever there
was-" a division of, offices. These
populists stated: that this promise
was exacted of the republicans be
fore Pritchard obtained a promise of
their, support The statement made
by the republicans, for the past few
days, "We will stand by our friends"
would indicate that there was some
foundation for the statement above
referred to.
But "LittlwBillie" Bryan, one of
The
v. wders of the minority, assures
us that no such agreement was ever
entered into and furthermore that no
agreement of any kind exists, either
written or unwritten. Perhaps
Mr. Bryan may not be, strictly
speaking, riding on the band wagon.
Certainly he des not hold such
desirable seat as does Dr. D. Reid
Parker, who, from all accounts, is
pressing down the commissioner of
agriculture's button and beating the
symbals with both feet. '
"Little Billie" Bryan said: "If we
(the minority) get any offices from
ttk& republicans they will come un
solicited and not by our own efforts.
We have obtained no pledge or
promise from them. There is only
an implied understanding of honor. "
SEE THE JACKS TONIGHT
Leo Wheat Telegraphs that the Show la
a Great One,
The ''Pair. of Jaoks" company ar
rived in the city' yesterday from
Lynchburg', where itappeared before
a large and well pleased audience
Saturday night. The company will
present the celebrated comedy, "A
Pair of Jacks" at the Academy to
night. The following telegram re
ceived from Lynchburg explains
itself and is a sufficient guarantee to
fill the Academy tonight.
"Tell everbody to see 'A Pair of
Jacks,' if they want to beat troubles
and taxes. It is simply out of sight."
(signed) "Leo. Wheat."
The attraction is one that we can
recommend and it deserves the
hearty patronage of the people of
Raleigh. Go to the Academy tonight
and you will see one of the funniest
shows on the road. It is a high
toned comedy and there is nothing
that the most refined can take objec
tion to. "

Raleigh will be well represented
at the University on the occasion ol
the inauguration of President Edwin
A. Alderman. A large number of
our citizens, in addition to the mem
bers of the legislature and State offi
cers, will be present.
It is very likely that the Southern

to accommodate those who may de

IN HER FAVOR
Mrs. Kate keogh Conrafl BuUer Gets Her
Dowqry.
The Greensboro. Record says:
Mrs. Kathryn Keogh Fuller, for
several years past a resident of New
York city, has been successful in
her litigation with the administrator
of Conrad's estate, which has been
pending several years. Mrs. Fuller
is the daughter of Mf- Mrs. T.
B. Keogh. She was ma.-ricd to Mr.
Charles T. Conrad, of Danville, Va ,
in 1-591. He died in June, 1893,
leaving a very large estate io both
real and personal property.
The Richmond, Va.. Times of
Thursday, in its report of opinions
handed dower by theSupreme Court
of Appeals, gives the following:
"Kathryn Fuller vs. Conrad's
Administrator. Reversed. Opinion
by Judge Harrison.
"Held : While, the lower court has
large discretion, as to the assign
men, of down, and the report of its
commissioners to assign, and the
confirmation of their report by that
court, are accorded great consider
ation, its judgment isnotoonclusive,
but subject to review
"The object of dower is to afford
the widpw, a sure and competent
support; and it should be so assign
ed that she may enjoy one-third of
the income arising from the estate,
the probable rente-and profits being
the chief subject of consideration.
'When commiisiooers have as
certained the annual income of the
whole estate, thev ought to set off
to the widow such a part as will
yield ber one-third part of such in
come, in parcels best calculated, for
the conv nience of herself and the
heirs a rule adopted equally to pro
tect widows from having an uopro
ductive part of estates assigned
them, and to guard heirs from be
ing left during her life without the
means of support. Leonard vs

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS

In the BouM. .-' ,
The Hon. Lee Person, the colored
Senator from Edgecombe, wbo. wears
a black silk handkerchief around his -"lilly
white" neck, has prepared
the most exhaustive bill known to
the oldest Inhabitant. Th. bill i
one "to establish and maintain an ...
insurance department and to oonsol '
idate the Insurance laws of the State. '
Mr. Person today turned the bill
over to the printers and as soon as
it is in type he will introduce it la
the Senate.
The bill covers 132 pages of legal
cap paper, written in aa ordinary
band. It is two inches lift hntifl
and would be taken at first glance,
for a Cuban petition. Senator Ffer.
son says be has given much study
to the insurance business in th-"
State , and that he has been at work
on the bill since the 15th of Deeen-
ber. "As soon as I saw that Dr,
Thompson opposed such a measure; -I
began to frame this bill," the Sen'-
ator said. "I do notthink any mem- -ber
will oppuse it after carefully 4
reading it." Mr, Person's bill pro
vides far the establishment of an In;
su ranee Commission and the creation
