Col. Wm. H. 8. Burgwyn, of Hen
derson will deliver an address this
evening at 8:30 o'clock. This will be
an interesting p-irt f the convention
at whl.'U tiie ladies ,ra invited to at
tend. Mr. Patrick's assertion that he is
more interested in tbn street railway
than in tha hotel, j-ist nov, shows
the importance of an early commuce
ment of the enterprise. Tae street
railway will be the tocsin for the sue
cess of the Exposition. No doubt
about that.
Only a headache cure. The only
headache cure, but the infallible
headache cure is Bradycrotit e. Mil 6t
We are sorry to learn from Col. J.

erness Mrs. Chilton having accom
panied the General on his first arrival
and remained whi'e he wen1" for the
remaining members of his family.
North Carolina may congratulate
herself on securing, in the coming of
Gen. Chilton, one of the livest Im
migration men and general upbuild -ers

to do with the boom that has at
tracted the hundreds of thousands of
settlers into the State of Texas an
nually for several years. We extend
to him and his family a most cordial
welcome.

children and other relatives to mourn
their loss, with whom we deeply
sympathize.

row afternoon at 5 o'clock from the
church of the Sacred Heart.
Something for the Farmer Boys
Mr. x. is. unuton, lieneral Mana
ger, advertises in this issue for forty
farmer boys to be employed in con
nectioh with the Southern Exposition
for a period of several months during
which they will receive good pay and
be taught carpentry and music
This Is a most unusual opportunity,
with remarkable privileges, for tbe
pay is good, and the boys are paid,
instead of paying for their instruct
ion. Every boy will come out at the
end of his service better fitted to
make his way in the world.

St. Johns' Hospital.
We are informed that the Treasury
of this noble Charity is about empty,
although there are several patients
under treatment. It should be re
membered by our people that, at
least, for a year or so yet, this will be
the only refuge of the unfortunate in
Raleigh, and it should, by all means,
be sustained.
It has been suggested that the daily
papers of Raleigh appeal to the citi
zens for contributions publishing the
names of all who may contribute.
The Visitor will enter heartily into
this arrangement, and sincerely hopes
that the scheme may meet with
ample success.
Let the noble Institution be aided
to all the extent possible.
A Young Adventurer.
Charley Vickers, a little fellow who
says ne is somewnere oetween tne
age of 13 and 16 put in his appearance
in the city, yesterday afternoon
Charley was worn out having walked
from Oxford on his way to Goldsboro
where he says he has an dunt who
will take care of him. He says he left
the Oxford Orphan Asylum by run
ning away some time ago, and since
that time he has been working his
way in the world as best he could.
He says bis latest employment was at
a knitting factory in Oxford. Charley
was taken in charge last night by a
charitable citizen who furnished him
with food and lodging and this morn
iqg reported the case to Chief of Police
Heartt, who promised to aid the lit
tle fellow in the matter of transporta
tion to Goldsboro. As it was too late
for the 9 o'clock train this morning
he was given tbe freedom of the city
for awhile. We think he left on the
train this afternoon. He is a bright
boy and we hope he may yet turn out
all right.

Chamber of Commerce.
A meeting of the Chamber took
place last night in the Mayor's offiee.
Mr. C. G. Latta, the President, bping
absent, Mr. W. G. Upchurch w.im
called to the chair. ,
The matter of hotel accommodn '
tions for visitors to the coininh ip
si' ion. was discussed. i
Mr. E. G. Harrell said that the
electric railway was in sight, aud
there was a prospect for an audiro-
rium, but that the hotel question had
not, so far, assumed a satisfactory' ;
shape. He anticipated a large ciowd j
in Raleigh during the exposit ion and '
thought it probable thtt a thousand !
or fifteen hundred persons would need
daily accommodations. j
Mr. Raney, proprietor of the Yar
boro House, stated that large addi- !
tions would be made to the capacity
of the hotel, and he thought all j
would be able to get accoiutuoda
tions.
Mr. Pogue thoughr the gatheriug
would be very large, and the hotel
matter was of the utmost import
ance.
Mr. W. N. Jones urged the ewtab
lishineut of a general intelligence
office where all visitors could report;
and be looked after.
Mr. Patrick made a most, encour
aging speech relative to th prospects
of the exposition. He said he had a
large force of clerks now employed
which would be increased during
the months of August aud September.
The exposition will he largely adver-
tised,and this will bring a great crowd.
He did not wish to he held respon
sible for the taking carol the crowd,
but if be failed to get the exh'bit and
the crowd here then it will be his
funeral. He had done nothing as yet
in heavy advertising, but in a short
time he would put out $10,000 worth
of lithograph. He l ad secured free
transportation for all Northern news
paper correspondents who would in
return write up the South, '"'here
can be no doubt but that the' e will
be a large crowd. There will be a
temporary building erected near the
Exposition grounds which will ac
commodate 360 persons. He was more
interested in the completion of the
street railway line just now than the
hotel question. Just as soon as the
electric street railroad was ready for
operation, he was rea ly to o.en the
permanent exhibition, but until there
wes some other means of reaching
the Exposition grounis than car
riages and hack 4, he could not risk
running an excursion to Raleigh
Messrs. W. N. Jones aud J. E
Pogue were appointed as committee
toco-operate with Mr. Patrick upon
hotel accommodations Thoy will
report at an adjourned meeting Mr.
Pogue was selected to look after an
ordinance for carriage rates &c.

Raleigh, N C. j
The Asheville Journal, in it6 local
columns, says: "Rumor has it that
the 'Immortal J. N , the Philospher,'
will lecture at the court house on
Thursday evening, May 14th, on
'Truth vs Force, or reconciliation of
Blue and the Gray.' " To one at a
distance this seems a little mixed, and
to one not in possession of what seems
hinted at, it needs some exphina- j
tion. What connection there is be
tween the philosophy of "Truth vs
Force," the reconciliation of the '
"Blue and the Gray" doesn't appear
at a glance.
Are Going.
We are going to move in our new
store on Fayetteville street in August
and we want to sell as much of our
present stock as possible by that

tion we have had a very flattering

ing seems to appreciate their value,
and avail themselves of this rare op
portunity of getting more goods for a
dollar than they ever bought before.
Our trade ou the bier lot of dress
j goods that we have reduced to less

bargains than ever before in men's,
youth's and boy's clothing and in
