A semi-offical note Just Issued declares that the govern ment has not received any complaint regarding the attitude of Consul Gen eral Lee, on contrary Gen. Blaco af firms that Gen. Lee's behavior has al ways been correct. Nevertheless the Incident serves to explain the origin of 111 will between the two countries. This Is proved bv the statements attribu ted to Secretary Sherman by which the Jingoes have created the belief that the United 8tates and Spain are trying to provoke war while at the same time en gendering the reeling in Spain that the United States demands open hostilities. It Is esential that this double game should be ended In order to prevent the two cofun tries from going to war without motive and without either de siring It WORK PROGRESSING Great Activity Shown at. t he Navy Yards WORK NIGHT AND DAY - - The House of Representatives .will fass the 50.ooo,Oo( special Appropri ation mil Spain Doesn't Wont War.

The papers have said nothing about it. But the people on the streets know that recently the A. and M. College students had a dance here In Ralolgh which was nothing more nor less than a drunken revel of the shamefulest sort. At the present rate of lax discipline and open encouragement of dancing, etc., it will soon require a powerfully developed character to go through such an insti tute. n with. ut being ruined. Maybe after all President Winston had reason to recommend football as a means of gtaee to students In the State institu tions. We can prove that violent meas ines are necessary. FAIR AND WARMKR.

He is an old fashion darkey with the genuine African brogue, lie was originally owned in Ldgecomhe county. A reporter found the old man in the capitol this moining and asked him what he remembered about the great men of long ago. "bur dat was white folk busness, what 1 know or ker bout that den." He said however that he heard the po iple talking about La taycUe. when he came to this State, lie remembers long before there was any cut ton gin and the negroes wuuid have a big time when they met tu pick out the cotton seed around the tires. Cncie Austin is a great believer in dreams. He says that some folks call the in dreams, but they are not. When a man says that lie had a dream that means that the Lord took his soul out uf his body. .Austin sajs that he has been to heaven. The Lord carried his soul there and talked to it and told him what to do and then put it back in his body. Some say that ne dreamed, but he didn't, his soul went to heaven. DYNAMlTi: ON TRACK.

C, March 6. -di-n Wade Hampton has written a card to the State explaining that he was in pari misquoted in a recently published in terview, in which he was made to say that he advised Southern troops not to take part in a war with Spain. The card says: "When asked what course the South should pursue in the event of war. (which would be inevitable If the Maine had been blown up by tre.?eh"t-y 1 1 replied that our Southern States had been desolated by the recent war: that they were only now recovering from its fleets, and that 1 thought they should not rush madly into another war. but that, of course, every citizen would of right be called on to defend his country liould war unhappily occur. "It was in reference to what I con sidered sensational, if not hysterical, rush of offers of service that 1 advised ur people to keep oulet. leaving such volunteering to the North.

Moore of Rowan county today brought three convicts to the State prison. The convicts are: Will Garrett, colored, sentenced for 10 years for highway robbery. Eliza Alexander, colored, 5 years for house burning. John D. L. Kluttz, white, 5 years for manslaughter. Will Garrett and Eliza Alexander were handcuffed together. Eliza Is a negro girl only 16 years old and very small for her age. She got off the train laughing, and seemed to think that the idea of spending five years in prison was a great Joke. The trial of Klutz at Salisbury was very sensational and the court room was crowded. He was a guard at the work house and he shot and killed an other guard named Huff. There was no eye-witness to all the stages of the tragic affair. Huff was a much older man than Klutz. Klutz escaped fmme- iiately after the shooting but surren dered himself next day. L. T. Moore, another guard, testified: "As to the Immediate causes leading up to the shooting I know but little. I learned though that Mr. Huff had ac- nsed Klutz of giving away a guard w ho had been asleep while on duty. About sundown that evening I waa near the kitchen when I saw the two men ill a hand to hand conllict. 1 rush ed up lo them and parted them and finally induced Mr. Huff to go to the guard's tent. He promised me that he uld remain thetc until I got back. I then went to i lent near bv and in ihoul tifteen minutes I heard Mr. Huff curse Mr. Kluttz and say, 1 will Kin you.' He then advanced on Klutz from t lie tent in which I had left him and fired with his gun. Klutz returned the lire with a pistol and shortly after wards I saw Huff stagger." Frak Thomas, a convict, who cooks for the gang said: 1 was standing near the stove put ting the coffee on when I heard Mr. Huff say something to Mr. Klutz. Mr. HutT fired with a shot gun which he had in his hand and several of the shot grazed my arm." Here Thomas showed his right arm which had been slightly abrased by several shot.
