Esse Quam Videri, May 20, 1775." The car is constructed of the choicest of North Carolina woods and is thoroughly built, everything being of the best and well finished. It is 71 feet over all, 10 feet in width and 14 feet in bight. : The car is divided iuto two parts proper, the exhibition room and the living room. The former room is about 40 feet in length and the latter libout 20 feet and this part is subdi vided bv a toilet room and thekitch m and dining rooms. The sleeping ipartments will have room for six Jersons. In the exhibition part is i bath tub, which, when not in use, t is. - - ' lifted off and on at will. The inte rior of the car is fitted irith French plate mirrors. The interior wood work is white, with gold leaf trim mings and the sashes and frames are in teak wood, with natural finish. Tbe car represents two of the largest railway systems between the North and the South, the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern railway. The products of the state of North Caro lina will be furnished from the state museum at Raleigh, N C, and among this list will be a nugget of gold and earth weighing 22 pounds, which is valued at80,000. The exterior of the car, which is painted in white with gold trim mings, is a marvel of beauty. One of the first paintings to catch the eye is the stock farm of Millionaire J. S, Carr of Durham, N. C, showing his blooded stock, at Occoneechee. "Tbe Land of tbe Sky," a beautiful picture, Is nearby and the train of the Southern railway is seen where It goes through seven tunnels and nine miles of space to make three miles on the opposite side of the mountain. "The Cotton Field," showing a field in full bloom, with 11 negroes and a white overseer, ap pears to be a scene in the distance, -arid "so true is the picture that one would think that the portraits should be in action. The "Red Meat" to bacco trade mark, with the grinning negro boy and the huge slice of ripe melon, is a tantalising piece and makes one wish to try the melon. The tobacco leaf and the Durham bull look natural. The D. A. Tbomp kios' machinery picture is bright and handsome. A handsome map of tbe Southren railway adorns a portion of tbe space on one side of the car aud chows the main line and branches extending through 27 states from Louisiana to New Hampshire. TheSeaboad Air Line Is also shown in like manner An Old Map. J BAlford,tbe well known colored merchant of this place, has pre sented us with a map of the town of Sraithfield printed in 1803 by Hodge ft Boylan, of Raleigh. Tbe names of the original owners of the lots are given with the owners of tbe same Id 1802. Later we will pub- llsh a list of the names upon the paper, many of which are unknown here now.

There is no impression of the seal among tbe state's record and Dr. Thomp son would be pleased to communi cate with any citizen who possesses a document bearing the seal. widening BLouxT sr.; The Work Has Ucgun and Ihere is Some Complaint. The widening of north Blount street, begun several days atfo, has given cause for complaint to those property holders living on the east ern side of the block furthest away from Newbern avenue. When Com missioner Blake first surveyed the street, he fjundthe true centre, lo cated at the intersection of Blount and Peace, as much as fifteen or twenty feet to the left of the centre of the street as it runs. To straight en it on this basis, the whole inade quacy of width would have had to come from the lots on the western side, and as this was impractical, a new survey was made fixing an arbi trary centre upon which to base the operations. But when work was commenced it was found that owing to the irregularity of the fences along the street the major part of the loss would fall upon those prop erty holder on the east side, when their lots, on a strict basis of street straightening, would have gained, instead of lost ground. The complaint, therefore, is that the arbitrary centre has l.een fixed arbitrarily , and that it is noteq uitable to impose a greater loss upon those making concession than is suffered by those to whom a concession was made. Mr. Prewry and Commissioner Blake insist that the line was run in as fair a manner as was consistent with tbe best interests of all parties, but the east side ground holders can't see it that way. In some in stances on far north Blount the lat ter class lose as much as nine feet of ground while their opposite neigh bors lose but three.

SoOthoSaysin the Haysccdcr Kusscll Denounced as a Hypocrite. Otho Wilson warms up Russell and Butler this week. He savs : 'It now really looks like Senator Butler has lost his grip. We be lieve he will never again be elected to the United States senate or to any other big office. "Gov. Russell, the hypocritical watch dog, in barking about rail road passes, got a can tied to his own tail. It has been shown that he rides on passes himself where- ever he goes. He owns the corn, but attempts to justify his incon sistency by saying that other offi cials ride on passes and he will quit doing so when they do. If he were not a hypocrite he would prac tice what he preaches and set an example for public officials by pay ing his way over the railroads " Scatoo Gales Lodge, I. O. O. F.

' roBETT ANI Fnz- lan Consudinc, in Advonec of the Vcris cope. Talks of Matters Pugilistic. The sporting fraternity of this city, as well as all others interested in prize fighting, will be given an opportunity next week to see an actual representation of the Carson City fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. This machine was at Carson City at the time of the fight, and the pic tures which will be presented 'by it ai'e those taken during the progress o! llie battle. It will require an hour and a baiftocompletelheshow, aud it is needless to say it will Lie Dust interesting from the beginning to end. All the preliminaries before the fight took place will lie pre sented, and every action ofbothcou testants, together with theirsccoiids, time keepers, 'referee, and cithers will be plainly visible on the can vass, and the vast crowds about the arena will also be seen as the back ground to the fight. The scries of veriscope views were prepared at a considerable expense, and the fact that the show is out un der the management of Win. Brady, Corbett's maragcr, is evidence that it is the genuine ai t'cle. and is nfli cial. Dan Consadine, the advance man for the veriscope, is in the city, an nouncing the coining of the show. Mr. Consadine expressed the con fidence that another fight would be pulled olT, and that it would be w ith in the next few months. He said : ''I am in formed by Vr. Brady that he has hopes of making an agreement with Fitzsimmons within the next two weeks, and by that agreement the light will take place. The terms are most liberal, and if Fitz will sign he will have the best agreement ever entered into by any pugilist, if lie wishes to consider the financial feature. Brady oilers Fits the privilege of naming all the specifications for the tight, except that he declines to agree to the naming of George Siler as referee. The selection of this official will be arbitrated by the two pugilists. Cirbett oilers Fit, a .mrse of $15,000 :j he will give him .the privilege of meeting him in the i'irg again. "This Fitzgets whether he wins or loses the light with Corbett The purse for which the pugs will meet is $10.1100 thousand and is put up by Brady, hi addition to these induce ments, Corbett offers to make a per soual bet of $10,000 that he can whip Fitz. To FiU it means the making of li.',000. The light is to come oil within six months after the agree- j ment is signed, and will be in the S1 ate of Nevada. It will not. be at Carson City, howeer, us it s in.ic cessibility was proven at the la-l fight. It is in an isolated part of the state, and tbe next meetiug cf the two pugilists will be at some point oa a main line of railroad . " AN INFIDEL NEWSPAPER Attacks State Superintendent .Mchane and Couaty Superintendent Grej for Removing Infidel Teachers. The Truth Seeker, a so-called re ligious paper published in New York State, says in its last issue: "The State of North Carolina is a religious despotism. Notwithstand ing that it belongs to the American Union, the constitution of which de clares that "no religious test shall be required," the Slate of North Carolina denies to its citizens the rights of conscience and disbelief. The Dispatch, of Wilmington, in that State, tells of two school teachers wlose license to teach are to be revoked by order of State Superin tendent Mebane, on the ground that they are infidels, and there fore without "moral status '' The teachers belong to Mecklenburg county, and there is no charge or complaint against them ex cept their unbelief. The county superintendent, one Grey, reported them to the State Superintendent ot schools, and he ordered the revoca tion of their licenses. This exhibi tion of bigotry occurs in a State, where judging from statistics, every teacher who can give instruction in the "three r's" should find steady employment, since one out'of every four white citizensof North Carolina can neither read nor write. The re ligiosity of the people accounts for both their bigotry and their illiter acy, and it is likely that there wili be little change so long as the lead ers o the people, the priests and politicians, continue to Hatter their invincible ignorance and applaud their degraded faith.
