Mr. R L Prempert arrived in the
city today fresh from Florida where
he has been living on strawberries,
oranges and tropical iruits, and
where the alligators, the mosquitos
and the natives have been living on
him. Mr. Prempert has loomed up
as an authority upon the business
condition of the country and we
note that the Florida Times Union
says of blm: "R.L Prempert is well
known in Jacksonville and Florida
generally. He is a travelling man,
and has been a member of that
nomadio tribe for more years than he
w6uldcare to acknowledge. But he
Is young yet so far as "vitality and
energy count in age andean always
give a reliable diagnosis of the con
dition of business.
Said. Mr. Prempert yesterday in
his characteristic style: ''What are
you people in Florida kicking about,
any wayf ( You have good towns
and good credit. If we -don't sell
the goods it is simply : because the
late financial disturbance has lessen
ed the jdemand, but so long as the
merohants are able to meet obliga
tions, it shows a prosperity that is
sadly locking In many other sections
ot the country:. My territory .covers
many states, and I have been over
them all during the pastfew months.
In Florida I see the greatest evi
dence ot prosperity, and I firmly be
lieve that this state holds the key to,
the south, both in its own produc
tions and in being the logical center
for the exportation of products from
the west both agricultural and man
ufactured."-. v rvy-i t " ; -' -:

A DAMNABLE DISGRACE.
That la tna Srataaaa tha Caaeaalaa Paaaaa
' ' ' ' ' "o tba Legialatara. ''
The Caucasian says in this week 's
issue i-S t'" ; ' ;;A.
; J'About ten 'more days remain of
the legislative session. Unless there
shall be, within this time, an almost
miraculous change, the record of the
legislature will be nothing abso
lutely nothing. All It wtllhavedone,
when it resigns, will be the spend
ing ot sixty or seventy thousand dol
lars of the publio funds, for which
nothing will be returned.
"Even the populists seem to be
unusually apathetic. Perhaps the
populists feel the impossibility of
accomplishing anything while the
disreputable 'comslne" of reps and
bolters Is . in the saddle, ' and feel
somewhat hopeless and dull: but
this, in our opinion, cannot excuse
them from trying to "dosomethinsr.
Up to this date, the legislature is a
damnable disgrace to the state.
'Democratic papers and one or
two hireling hoboes who issue what
they call a republican papor here,
have named a certain little gang the
"minority populists," but these fel
lows are nothing less than deep dyed
republicans of the most radical
stripe. They are more republican
in point of pie grabbing and general
oussedness than those who call
themselves republicans.
Sam Joaaa Tonight.
Those of you who go to Metropol
itan Hall tonight will pass tne most
thoroughly enjoyable evening of the
winter.
uBoth as a wit an as and orator the
universal verdict of the public is
that the inimitable Sam Jones has
no superior on either side of the At
lantic ocean, and the Raleigh public
is to be congratulated upon the op
portunity, presented them to hear
him in his best lecture tonight
and at such cheap prices.
The usual prices of admission in
the Urge cities to the Jones lecturas
are from $1 00 up, but the ladies of
the Waif Saving Circle of the King's
Daughters, under whose manage
ment the lecture hero is to be de
livered, desire to give every one an
opportunity to hear this gifted man,
and have therefore adopted the fol
lowing cheap rates of admission:
(reserved "at. King's drugstore
or the box bfiiec tonight) 75 cents
only; , parquette seats 50 cents; to
the gallery only 35 cents. These
rates give no one an excuse for
missing the treat in store fer all
who attend tonight
If. you desire to hear eloquence of
the grand variety from the rugged
intellectual giant of the American
pulpit listen to Sam Jones' lecture
at Metropolitan Hall tonight. Costs
only 35t 60 or 75 cents, according to
location of seat. Got

CHABiCrrr, Va., 24. If reports
are true the county of Mecklenburg
will soon have work commenced on
another railroad within its borders.
The Virginia and Carolina railroad
was about twelve years ago partly
graded, then bought by the Atlantic
Coast Line and operations ceased.
The city of Petersburg held a mort
gage on the road, a sale was made
four or five years ago, and that
city became the purchaser. Parties
were viewing the line this week and
bargained tor land on which to build
depots.
The road runs from Petersburg
through Dinwiddle, Brunswick and
Mecklenburg counties, crosses the
Atlantic and Danville road at La
crosse, this county, and connects
with the Raleigh and Gaston railroad
near Ridge way. Piers for bridge
were built in the Roanoke river near
Saint Tammany. . ,.

The Hon. Lee Person, toe colored
Senator from the county of ' Edge
combe, donned his fighting togs
this morning and from this time he
wi 1 make it interesting 14 the up
per body. a . . . ; jf w:-
''The nero must be recognized,'
said the ebony-hued representative
from Edgecombe this moratng.
I stopped the bills providing for
a change In the management of the
charitable institutions this morning,
and I shall hold up every bill from
now on until we get assurances that
that the negro is to be recognized."
Senator Person was asked, if the
republican caucus bad not agreed to
give the Eastern Asylum at ' Golds
boro to the colored republicans.
"Yes," he replied, "but we have
reason to suspect that this pledge
will be broken. We must be abso
lutely assured that the negro Is to
be protected or legislation will be
blocked."
What do the negroes ask. from
the republicans, " tho senator was
asked."
"We must have the eastern asy-
um and we demand that we begiveu
a part of the penitentiary patronage.
We are entitled to it. "
The Edgecombe senator is backed
up by the other colored member of
the senate, WB Henderson of Vance.
-He expressed himself on the same
line as did Senator Person.
Senator Person recognizes the
belligerant rights of "Judge" Wai
ter R. Henry as against Governor
Russell. The Senator thinks that
Mr. Henry is entitled to the ap
pointment
Senator Person has tackled the pie
counter question in a business-like
way. His movements are all above
board and open to inspection.
The Floy Crowell Company Koxt Week.
That most winsome and talented
of all repertoire stars, Floy Crowell,
opens a week 's engagement at Me
tropolitan Hall, Monday evening
presenting a round of carefully se
lected comedies and dramas at the
always popular prices of 10, 20 and
30 cents. Speaking of tha company
the Norfolk Landmark of Feb. 18 said :
"The Floy Crowell D amatio com
pany began an engagement at the
Academy of Music last night at
popular prices.
This is a gilt edged show for the
money. They presented last night
"Molly Bawn" and made a tremen
dous hit
"Molly Bawn" has many pleasant
and exciting situations which were
brought out naturally and with dra
matic strength. Miss Crowell is a
little actress of much fire and go,
and as "Molly Bawn," assisted by
Mr. Edwin Emory as Teny Desmond
quite won the hearts of the people.
An innovation was introduced in
the way of specialties between the
acts, and mighty clever specialties
they were, too. Especially good
was the work of Mr Mark Bennett
and Mr. Edwin Emory,. These
specialties prevent the usual tedious
waits between aots."
The Lease.
Editor Press-VlBtor.
In common with everybody else,
suppose I have been reading with
considerable interest the accounts of
the war being waged against the
Southern Railroad and its officers on
account of the "lca&e,"and equally
in common with many others who
presume to think for themselves.
The more I read the more disgusted
I am with the senseless clamor rais
ed against one of the safest and
wisest measures ever adopted for so
Curing and furthering the best in
terests of the state, certainly as far
as its railroad property Is concerned,
inasmuch as by the practical opera
tionsof the transaction, - the state
has secured as tenants, as it were,
for a long term of years (and the
longer the better) ' wealthy and
powerful corporation whose inter
ests are necessarily . identified with
those of the state, at a rental or rate
of interest in conformity with the
laws of the- state, to say asthiog of
the fact that at the end ot the "lease"
all of the improvements and better
mentspf the-road will remaiSpi-be
hands of the state. Regu3nnd
satisfactory dividends w' V have
been secured, so that thelic will
know what rea valuexattoch to
their stock, and what is f more im
pOrtancc than anything else. This
great distributing artery of the life
blood of the state will be entirely
eliminated from politics, but under
the management and direction of
those whose interest it is to improve
and develop every mile of country
through which it passes fulfill its
intended destiny, and not as a mere
political machine to be used for the
gratification of official spleen or party
reward. The very fact that such
men as General Hoke, Col, Andrews
Capt. Alexander, after mature con
aldeiation, endorse and favor the
B, Is in itself a guaranty that the
step was a wise one. These men
stood up for North Carolina and In
tercsts in times when their lives
were hourly in danger fcr so doirg,
and their endorsement of any cause
In which the state, honor or interest
Is involved, should have more weight
with all true Carolinians than all of
the clamor of newspaper clap-trap
and executive bluster in the state
put together.
It is a-nusing too, to note, the in
consistency of those newspaper pa
triots, who for years have been
bounding down and holding up to
publio execution any and all persons
who dared to think of more than six
per cent interest on Investments,
but who now in the excess of their
rreprcssible loyalty and patriotism
are weeping avl wailing and gnash
ing their teeth because they are not
allowed-to tear up a fair and liberal
contract, honorably entered into
and concluded, in order that they,
aforesaid bowling patriots, may
possibly and in direct violation of
their own pet usury laws, make a
new deal by which they will get
o they say) at least ten per cent.
To sheol with such rot and cant,
the animus of the whole thing is so
plain that a man with half an eve
can read it
The lease is good enough for plain
straight forward North Carolinians.
Let it stand.
COLDER TOMORROW.
Vfeather Bureau Pridlcta Pair Weather
Tonight and Tomorrow.
The weather will be colder to
morrow. It will be fair tonight and
tomorrow, so the local weather pre
diction states. The temperature
was 40 degrees this morning, which
was a change of 2G degees:
The high area and clearing condi
tion now occupies the entire cen
tral Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
The weather has cleared along
the entire Atlantic coast, with only
small amounts of rain reported from
scattered stations. A slight low
area north of the Lake region is
causing flurries of snow in that sec
tion. It is cloudy along the Gu'f
soast.
The temperature has' rieen above
zero in the northwest, and has fal
len considerably in the east and
south. The fall at Rileigh was 26
degrees.
Wante Bishop Cheshire's Plaee.
A member of the legislature who,
like all the others is pie hungry)
said the other day that he had found
a place be wanted, but was laying
low until the time for action, then he
proposed to strike. Being impor
tuned to know what it was, be fin
ally said it was Bishop Cheshire's
place, which he understood paid f3,
000. He still believes be will get it,
for he does not know but what it is
a position under the state.

PASSED THE HOUSE
BIU to Macadamize Street Around Cap
ital Sqoare.
The bill providing for the macada
mization of the streets around capi
tal "square passed the House of Rep
resentatives. The bill provides that penitenti
ary convicts do the work, and no
cost is imposed upon the state. The
bill has the endorsement of Gover
nor Russell, and was introduced by
Representative Yourg, of Wake.
The streets around the capital
are notoriously worse than others
adjacent thereto. The improvement
of these streets should be a matter
of state pride.
The bi'l now goes before the senate
and as soon as it is passed the ma-
cadamizationof tho streets will begin.
Representative Young is to be
commended on the successful pass
age of the bill through the house.
