A. & M. COLLEGE BOARD
And Its Work vs. the Editor of the News
and Observer.
Office of the Nobtii Carolina Rail
way Commission, Baled iir, N. C.
Editor Press-Viator
I notice in today's News and Ob
server criticisms in general of the
action of A and M college board and
especially its scurrilous attacks on
E G Butler, of Vance county. It also
says I am "bilen in the collar" about
the displacement of my nephew, F
G. Kelly, in the experiment station
I had expressed no opinion of the
latter matter to any one, and was
out of town and the News and Ob
server nor any of its representa
tives had seen me up to this writ
ing. The board had the right to dis
place him and I do not question
their motives.
As to the nttack on Mr. Butler, I
wish to say that I have known him
since my early child-hood and North
Carolina does not have a more hon
orable, affable and polished gentle
man. The most appropriate comparison
I can make between him and the ed
itor of the News and Observer is
this: The most immoral thought of
EG Butler is higher, nobler and
purer than the highest dream of
purity or honor that ever entered
the breast of the editor of the News
and Observer.

QUEEN'S JUBILEE.
r:horbltant Carriage Chorees HotclH ur
Filled Bad Weather.
London, June 12. The weather
has been winter like during the
greater part of the week. A heavy
rain fell, giving the half finished
jubilee decorations a bedraggled ap
pearance. Friday it brigtened to
hot bright weather which was very
trying. Lodging houses have been
guilty of the sharpest practices for
a fortnight including the jubilee to
visitors who months ago engaged
rooms by more than doubling prices.
Carriage hire for jubilee day is
twenty dollars for two hours and not
guaranteed to reach any particular
location. There is a general busi
ness depression on the eve of the
jubilee. Many big houses in the
city have been placed at the disposal
of the queen, tho owners going to
hotels.
MR. DUKE RESIGNS.

cancies by that time. The meeting
of the directors of the institution
will be the most important the new
board has yet bad. It is stated that
a number of changes in the institu
tion have been determined upon.

Gbibiietown, S C. June 12. A
posse has gathered at VVaverly to
take into custody the perpetrators
of the bloodiest outrage ever known
in this section. Carried away with
devotion to their preacher negroes
gathered at a camp-meeting and out
to pieces Wade Jackson, a negro,
during services. The evangelist
attacked Jackson's character from
the pulpit, and Jackson attempted to
slay him with a hatchet. Tbe con

This will be the first collegiate de

Illuo Prospects for Corn.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
Weiistkr, City, Iowa, June 12
Alarm is felt in this section of the
State regarding the coming corn
crop, and added to this comes the
news that all corn in the cribs, no
matter how substantially the latter
have been built, is rotting. Three
thousand bushels of corn sold in the
local market and sorted only turned
out 1,301 bushels of sound corn. The
supply that is over two years old is
never grading more than No. 3 in
Chicago, and much of it is not worth
the freight to that city. A large
per cent, of tho acreage, something
over one half, has already been re
planted for the coming crop, and
much of the ground will have a third
planting.
Spain Heady for War.
By Cable to the Press-Visitor.
Madrid, June 12. Premier Cauo
vas said he did not believe the feel
ing of hostility toward Spain could
be ascribed to President McKiuley.
He added that if the United States
should depart from her friendly at
titude, Spain would be able to de
fend her rights.
The Premier thought t o demands
of the death of Ruiz were greatly
exaggerated. If the widow demands
indemnity, Spain will do justice in
the matter of the claim.
Mckinley Returns to Washington.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
Nashville, June 12. President
McKinley and party leave this even
ing at G o'clock on their return to
Washington. The trip will be made
over the Southern Railway by spe
cial. The train will reach its desti
nation Tuesday morning at 7:30.

A GREAT SALE TODAY
2,500 People Poured in Tucker's Todav He
twecn 8 A. M. and 3 P. .!.
The re-opening of Tucker's store
today was attended by the largest
sales ever known in Raleigh. Truly
this can be said without exaggera
tion. A constant stream of purch
asers has been passing in at both
entrauces of the mammoulh estab
l'shment all day long, and an obser
vant gentleman who has attended
the sales today estimates that 2b00
people visited the store between the
hours of eight a. m. and three p. m.
An enormous amount of goods have
been sold today, but it will take
many weeks to make a visible hole
in the large stock of goods.
Many visitors from adjacent towns
and from the country made special
triDS to the city today to attend the
dissolution sale.
It has been a noticeable fact that
tho other large dry goods houses
have had as much as tbev could do
all during the day.
While the McKiuley wave is as
far distant as ever, the people of
Raleigh are not suffering.
TO CONTINUE WARM
air Weutlicr Predicted Tonight and Sun
day for Kaleigh.
The weather prediction for Raleish
aid vicinity to night and Sunday is
fair with a continuat:on of very
warm weather.
The thermometer was 78 this morn-
iugand the barometer. 29. M.
The barometer is nowhighestover
the gulf and southern states and
lowest in the north. This arrange
ment of pressure favors thecontinu
ation of very warm weather.
The weather is generally clear in
tbe south, except over southern
Florida and over Texas, and is very
viarm throughout the central valley,
the line of 70 degrees at 8 am rising
as big'.: as Davenport and Wash
ington.
Scattered showers occurred over
Texas, southern Florida, the At
lantic coast aud east lake region. It
Is clear in tne northwest aud cloudy
from the lakes to New England.
IN THE SOUTH.
The Southern Hallway Keeping in Ad
vance in Improvements.
Recent reports of new and improv
ed transportation arrangements for
the growingSouth are authenticated
by the officials of the Southern rail
way. That system of road, which
has such a vital interest in the de
velopment and progress of a large
extended country, is giving especial
attention to improving its facilities
for affording its patrons the best and
quickest transportation advantages.
The growing local, inland, coast
wise, as well as foreign business of
that system, warrants the Southern
in giving close attention to the de
velopment of its lines, Tu meet all
the exigencies requires that a great
many interests be carefully carefully
considered in pursuing its policy of
affording all of its patrons the best
and quickest service. Among the
more recent improvements arranged
for by the Southern, which wiil be
completed as soon as possible, are
increased facilities at Pinners Point,
Norfolk, Va., and the equalizing of
the distances between running di
vision points on the main line be
tween Washington, D. C, and At
lauta, Ga. Norfolk has a growing
grain trade, especially in corn. In
1888 the receipts at that port of corn
amounted to only 739,858 bushels.
In 1895 there was an increase to
4,20(5,493 bushels, and in 1896 the
great jump to 13,854,454 burhels.
With the increased railroad facil
ities of the port, the growing favor
of the harbor among vessel-owners,
and the evident advantages for ex
portation in this city over points
farther north and more distant from
the grain fields, it is certain that
Norfolk is to be one of the great corn
centers of the country. The receipts
of wheat and oats in 189C amounted
to about 900,000 bushels, a good in
crease over previous years. The
inauguration and the development
of the Asheville Fast Freight Line
by the Southern Railway Company
for the control of East and West
traffic will, it is expected, necesitate
ultimately the erection of an elevator
At Pinners Point the Southern
Railway has already two wharves,
one 19b' by 800, and the other 270 by
800 feet. An additional wharf, 270by
800 feet, will be built, giving a total
wharfage of 738 by 2,400 feet. Of
freight sheds there are three one
190 by 700 feet, and one double shed
200 by 400 feet. Anew shed 252 by
700 feet be added, giving a total ca
pacity of shed room of 413, 400 square
feet. To accommodate the existing
business, there are 37,000 feet of
track in yard, to which will be
added 32,000 feet making a total
length of trackage of 69.000 feet, or
over 13 miles. Tbe present freight
sbeds have a capacity of ninety-
live eirs. This will be in
crease! to 155 cars. There will also
be added a log shed for export tim
ber "90 by 170 feet, besides a cotton
warehouse 80 by 400 feet, and the
necessary repair and machine shops
electric light plant and fire service,
offices, etc. The total cost of the
projocted improvements for this
year will be about 2&0, 000, 000. It
is expected all of this work will be
completed by September 1, 1897
L nder the new arrangement 20
freight steamers can load at the
wharf at the same time. Three dock
slips are already in existence, 200
by S0O feet each, and two additional
ones of the same size are among the
proposed improvements. There is
a depth of water of 27 feet at these
wharves, which will accommodate
boats of the largest class. Since
the Southern Railroad company has
been in possession of this property
at Finners Point, its business ca
pacity has bsen increased about six
fold. The division changes and im
provements above referrel to are as
follows: Washington. D. C, to
Monroe, Va , a distance of 1(!S miles;
Monroe, Va., to Spencer, X. C, dis
tance lOli miles; Spencer, N. C, to
Greenville, S C, distance 154 miles;
Greenville. S. C, to Atlanta,
C'a., distance 161 miles. These
changes in division terminals will
necessitate the expenditure of about
$25,000 at Monroe and 130,000 at
Greenville, and will enable operat
ing the line in four divisions of
practically equal distances. The
principal advantages to be derived
from these changes will be in the
saving of time, especially in freight
movements, a better division of
work among the men, and a concen
tration of forces at ''lay-over" points.
This means better service aud gives
the country tributary to the South
ern railway the benefits of the best
railroad practice, al' of .vhich will
have a great influence in the de
velopment of the country served by
that company. While these impor
tant changes will necessarily modify
some minor conditions in one or two
localities, it is a move in the right
direction that all will see and ap
prove, when the plan is fully de
veloped as suggested, giving many
advantagesover the presentarrange
ments. Dr. A. Week,
Ophthalmologist and eye special
ist, late of New York, now perma
nently located at 310, Main street,
Norfolk, Va., will visit Raleigh; of
fice in woman's exchange building
corner of Fayetteville and Morgan
streets, June 17tb. 18th and 19th for
the purpose of giving all who desire
an opportunity of having their eyes
examined free. The following taken
from the Gold Laf of Henderson
may be of interest:
''Dr. Week, the eye specialist of
Norfolk, filled his appointment here
last week. A gentleman of pleasing
address, skilled in his profession
and honest in dealing with his pa
tients, Dr. Week fully sustained
the favorable impression that had
been created in advance by his very
agreeable representative, Mr. Bur-
bank .
"While his business is to serve
those who need his services he will
not prescribe for persons whose
eyes are in such condition that it is
beyond human skill to remedy the
defect. If he could do them no good
other than temporary relief he re
fused to take their money. iVe know
of three such cases from which it
may be seen that the doctor is not
engaged in selling spectacles simply
for the money there is in it. The
interest he feels in suffering human
ity and his professional reputation
are of higher consideration with
him."
Governor Asked to Appoint Delegates.
The governor has been requested
by the Farmers' Nationa1 Congress,
through its secretary, Hon. John M.
Stehl, of Chicago, and its vice pres
ident, Hon. J. S. Cunningham, of
North Carolina, to appoint two dele
gates from the state at-large and one
from each Congressional district to
represent this State tor the next two
years at the annual meetings. The
next convention will be held in St
Paul, Minn., August 31st to Septem
ber 6th inclusive. Each delegate
will be expected to pay his own ex
penses, as there is no State fund
available for such purposes.

BUILDING AT THE PARK
Finance Committee of the Hoard Decides
to Erect It.
The finance committee of the board
of aldermen has decided to erect a
summer house at Pullen Park for
the accomodation and con venience of
visitors.
This is a much needed addition to
the park and its early construction
will no doubt add largel y to the pop
ularity of the place.
At the last meeting of the board
the matter of erecting the house was
left to the finance committee with
power to act.
The construction of the house is
now in the 'unds uf the park com
mittee, ol which .Mr A M Powell is
chairman. The plans for the build
iug, whic'j is to have three rooms,
was designed by architect, Chas.
Pearson. There will be two waiting
rooms, and for each race, and a room
for refreshmentprivileges. The urn
tract will ba let soon. The build
ing is to cost $400.
