The Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina meet tonight in the Masonic Ball at the usual hour of meeting. Sheriff 8. F. Roper, of Hyde county, settled with the State Treasurer yes terday, paying into the treasury $2, 891.17. Gov. Fov le will hold an informal reception tonight at the new man sion. The reception is given in honor of the Legislature. The receipts of cotton this season up to date has been 29,340 bales against 16,491, up to the same period last year, being an increase of 12,849. A book agent, Mr. J. P. Hayes, was around this morning with a very in teresting and valuable book, " From Mainger to Throne," by Dr.Tilinage, and a panoramic picture of Jerusa lem at the time of the crucifixion. He is aiding Miss Geneva Harris the regu lar agent. Our City Fathers should not forget the great injustice that is being done the first and fifth wards by their present repieBentation on the Board of Aldermen, while the third has more than it is fairly entitled to. We believe a conclusion was reached a short time since that four each for the two first named, and three for the third would be equitable. The owners of much of the property, if not the most of it, in the 3rd Ward, live in the 1st and 5th. Let the wards be so re apportioned that equal justice may be done to all. Notice. The regular meeting of Mauteo Lodge No. 8 I. O O. F. will take place tonight at 7 o'clock instead of 7:80 o'clock. Members will please take notice of the change. Candidates will please be on hand promptly at 7:30 o'clock. The above is in accord ance with the By-laws. C H. Lewkllew, N. G. Employment lor the Poor." No philanthropy however exten sive, when applied direct, can effect the same amount of relief to the poor that a reasonable investment in som; good enterprise that furnishes em ployment to a large number of the idle and otherwise unemployed. Our enterprising business men should bear this in mind when organizing enterprises. A large payroll is gen erally a great relief to the poor. At the Capitol Liast Night. The lecture of Dr. R. L. Abernethy on "The Human Soul and Minn,"was interesting and instructive, but the time was unfortunate. The subject is one that lequires close and quiet attention, but the large audience was restless and impatient for the caucus that had been advertised to take place at 8 o'cloc to nominate United States Senator, and a large number in the lobbies and. near them were prevented from hearing a sufficient of le doctor's lecture to even become ' jterested, because of thoughless and proper talking. Those near enough . Ihear, notwithstanding the noise, - eatly enjoyed the lecture. The idiencegave the doctor about thirty dollars for his college. The caucus was organized at about 9 o'clock, and it seemed that every body wanted to nominate Vance, and when they all could not be first, the next thing was to second his nomina tion, which it would teem they all tried to do, from the number of speeches. When the body reached a vote it was unanimous, and we suspect a number voted who were not eligible. Senator Vance was then waited upon and came in and addressed the As sembly as Vance can. One thing struck us with peculiar force It was this, that he has been in public office for about 36 years and yet has a clean record. His enemies have no charges of a damaging nature that they can ' bring. Few public men can say this. Wake .Superior Court.
