LAB8SBT OlTT OlROULAliOff. i Index to New Advertisement Whlttnir Bro-Talkofir Polities, J. Hal. Bobbitt. Brash the 'Cob webs ont of your Brains In and Aronnd the City. Didn't it poor down last night? Lots of farmers in town today. Grape shipments badly crippled by the weather. Electric cars are looming up in the distance. Fall will soon be here and no new depot in sight yet. This is the last week in which to pay dog tax. Delinquents had better be on their guard. The Mayor had no cases of impor tance to occupy his official attention today. " Regular meeting of Manteo Lodge tonight at 8 o'clock. Work in the initiatory degree. The rainfall last night was the heaviest that has occurred in this sec tion for years. Go to the Demorest Medal Contest at Edenton Street U. E. Church, to night. Pave the streets, but, at the same time look out for the side walks and crossings. Charier Heartt is anxiously wait ing the payment of the tax on dogs. The time will , soon be out. A weather wise friend says that we may not look for steady clear weather until aXtef Friday next. We can't vouch fot it. ' Quite 4 Tlarge number of country people and also a goodly number from a distance aU teport heavy raJns, but none believe the drops are damaged as yet. Watermelon rinds and grape halls are exoeedinly dangerous , when thrown on the side walks, and Mayor Thompson says he will enforce the ordinance against all who violate it in this respect. A gentleman from the country, in formed us this morning that Neuse river was fast getting beyond its banks. A considerable overflow may be expected. We deeply regret to hear that the wet spell has pperated seriously upon the grape crop in some cases. It is skid that the fruit bursts open thereby rendering it unfit for shipment. The vacancy caused by the resigna tion of P. M. Wilson, sq.,as Commis sioner of Immigration, will in all prob ability be filled at the next session of the Board of Agriculture which takes place early next month. 'V. ;v The twelfth annual report of the North Carolina Agricultural Expert- ment station, has been recovered. It is a very valuable document filled with the. most interest' ng informa tion. It is gratifying to note that the water works and sewerage systems are growing in popularity, and that several of our residences and stores are having them put in connection We hope that the custom will soon become universal. It seems to be pretty generally un derstood in political quarters that the Republican Executive Committee will call a State Convention for the purpose of nominating caudidatos for Chief Justice, etc. We have heard of no time suggested for the convention to meet. Street Commissioner Blake lost his memorandum book from his pocket on the street sometime yesterday eve ning. Any one finding the same will confer a great favor to Gapt Blake to hand same to or leave it at Station House. It contains memorandums nf work,biUs, etc. ATheProgressiveFarmer of this week states that there have been 1,300 new subscribers added to its list since the last huue; and that 8.806 new sub scribers . have been received in the past three weeks. Quite a progressive Sunday school has been established, situated on the Avent Ferry road near where it cross es the N. C. Railroad. There was a considerable attendance last Sunday, and the prospects are for a continued increase every Sunday. "Brush the Cobwebs out of your brains" and read the attractive rj- veitisement of J. Hal Bobbitt, who offers the best summer drink yet of fered at five cents for two glasses. It is said to be just splendid. Moore county has three post offices whose names are very significant; they are Noiso, Quiet and Loaely, so if you want to make a noise go to Moore; if you wish to be quiet go to Moore. Not many people desire to be lonely, but if any one shon!d,go to Moore. Mayor Thompson, who is jvlwjt as well versed in eommercb" mtt-tra as in municipal affairs, think Uiat the prospect is good for tho fi-wt bale of new cotton by the 10th or lot;;, of Aug. This wi'l bo several dT3 ahead of the usual time. Good News. We have the best authority for the statement that negotiations t-re now pending for the purchase of or? street railway by a syndicate of gentlemen from a distance, and that should the sale be consummated, whih it is thought will be, the present motive power will be changed to that of elec tricity. Wo also have good reason to believe that should the transfer be consummated, the' system will be ex tended. Exaggerated. We have official authority for the statement that the case of John Wil liamson who was arrested for passing countefeit money has been much ex aggerated. The crime consisted iu passing a counterfeit silver dollar on the washwoman of one of our citizens but there has nothing been developed in the case to justify the belief that there in a system of counterfeiting going on, in or near this vicinity. We learti that Williamson was bound over in a bond of only $50. Personal Mention. Col. Jno. B. Eaves, chairman of the Republican State Executive Commit tee is in the city. Mrs. V. B. Swepson has returned to the city Mr. H. M. Cowan has returned from a delightful trip to the Connelly Springs. Mr. John Y. MacRa3 has returned from a beneficial trip to the Buffalo Springs. Gov. Fowle returned from Wrights ville yesterday afternoon. We deeply regret to leurn that Hon, F. M. Strudwick, is seriously ill at his home in Hillsboro. Mrs. Haggarty, of Macon, Ga., is in the City the guest of Mrs. Walter C. Tucker. Miss Mamie Birdsong left this after noon to visit friends at Marion, 8. C. Rev. Dr. J. . Watkius has return ed from Ashevilie and will conduct his prayer meeting tomo-row even ing as usual. Dr. A. J. Dalley, of Oxford, w?s ?n the City today; he said the crops in Granville county were exceedingly fine, and did not think the rains had done any damage in his section. Tom Denson, who is w ith McKim mon, Mosely & McGhee, left today on a two weeks visit to trieeds in John ston and other counties. We wish him a joyous time. R. N. Wynn, Esq., of Panther Branch Township, a prominent can didate for the nomination for tis of fice of Sheriff of Wake county, was in the city today and reports much rain in his section of the county, but don't think; the crops are at all damaged as yet 1 i "Polly Tic.' How'dy I'm lorter to. My wife, she has the bothers; 'I he biby 's teething too 1 didn't get the grapti at Whiting Br or, So I am sorter blue ! Messrs. Whiting Bros make no claim to poetry making, but they are death on low prices. See their new "ad." Chamber of Commerce. We are glad to learn that the next sesflon of the Chamber of Commerce will be a most important one in many respects. President Thompson win, is SiId have several important sug- KCMions to mate, ana wo nave some reason to think that prompt action will bo taken looking to some impor tant improvements in our city. We fj-?l that the time has come when "y.y! rc-i'' should bo tho word, and we f-.:el lhs.t the geutlemen composing tho Chamber realize the situation. A Suggestion. A friend eufir,sted to us today the propriety of advocating a mass meet ixsx of the people of the 4 Eagle Rock' section of Wake county to consider the matter of extending the Albe mrle and Raleigh Railroad. We think the idea a good one. The peo ple of that section are certaWly as much interested in the road as they can well be. It wou'd be a decided boom for thtn in n'l respects. Per haps a meeting of tho kind suggested might epur up our Raleigh folks. It certainly can do no harm. Oar Crossings. We have frequently ca'led atien tion to the condition of many of our si reet crossings which are s'most m passable in wet weather. A most ea rnest complaint h made specially of the crossings on West Hargett street at the corners of Hfl'fington and West streets. At these potato the crossings cannot be passed over without heing a most mired up to the ankles. There seems, iu our op'nion, to be no excuse for th'i. If the city authorities deem it too expend veto have raised ci-ostr'ngs, as has been suggested time end again, srcly it would cost but a trifle to place a few paving stones at the po'its mention ea, so tnat cit'ier eor'a get over without the danger of be'ng "stuck fast," in the mud. We hope that the street commissioner will attend to the matter at once. The compla'uts are loud, and we must admit in some in- stances, just. Capitol Notes. We paid a visit to the State Home this morning in search of news but found but little of general interest. This seems to b9 a du" season with the offlcia's in most lines of duty, We had a shorfc'slt-.ing with Treasc erBaiu, wi;o with h!s usual watch fulness over the needs of the "money chest," was engaged iu sending out demands to the Treasr-ers of the dif ferent rair roads to it-ake payment of the taxes due from their several cor poraticps. We questioned the Treas . . . . - urer on some matters wmcn we thought cf specie 1 interest. We learn ed that the outstanding bonds en funded, in accordance with the act of assembly ware $1,578,000, and $G3,' OK) North Carolina Construction bends. The Treasurer has doubts about tho extension of the act by the next Legislature. Ho thinks the gen eral impression of members of the Legislature, so far as he has been able to gather is, that no fwther exten elon should be made. He says that he is unable to determine as to who are tha holders of the bonds yet re ma?n!?g unexchanged. We suppose that ihe bonds could be traced and the holders of them, or any portion of them should make special applica tion for exchange, such would proba bly bo granted. One thing, we are sure of, and that is if the holders of these securities are looking for any better terms than those already offered. they wi'l be dif appointed. Such an arrangement, would of course be unjust to those who have already acoanfad of the terms proposed. We have been ktnd- : I ly tendered by the Treasurer with such information on the finances, as j he may be able from time to time to 1 give. ' Col. Polk's Address. In reiponse to the request of seve ral of our prominent citizens, Col. L. L. Polk, President of the United National Labor Association and Far mers' AUiance, delivered an address this afternoon at Metropolitan Hall. Notwithstanding .the; weather wan unpropitious there was a consldera. ble crowd in attendance. Coi. Pole's speeeh was in all respects most ad mirable and touched upon tho ruaiu points embraced in the principles of the organization ho represonts.lt was delivered with all the oratoviil effoct for which the Colonel is noted. The late hour at which the speech was de- ivered prevents a more extended no tice. SPECIAT, NOTICES. For Sale.
