tine time is iu store for all who at
tend. The weather prevented many
ladies from being present at the last
tournament, but it is hoped that it
may be more favorable next time.
Do You or Do You Not ?
This is the all important question
now agitating the public mind. And
why should it not? "Do you or do
you not" believe Swindell will sell
dry goods, millinery goods, shoes,
clothing, 'carpets cheaper than any
other merchant. We believe Swin
dell will and we are right. By Au
gust 10th the entire Racket store will
be moved to 206 Fayetteville street
Norris & Carter's old stand.
Personal Mention.
We are pleased to see Mr. H. R.
Huggins in the city, after a short so
journ in the eastern part of the state.
Miss Nellie Stein left yesterday on
a visit to friends in the country.
Mr. Armistead Jones is absent at
Fayetteville on professional business,
Mrs. 8 H. Fleming is critically ill
at the residence of Mr. T. H. Briggs.
She was paralyzed several days since
and is thought to be growing worse.
The World's Fair.
Col. Keogh, one of the commission
ers from North Carolina on the
World's Fair at -Chicago, was in the
city yesterday. The Colonel is bend
ing his entire energies in the matter
for which he has been selected, and
is warm in praise'of the site allotted
to our State for its exhibits. He is a
little out of heart, however, at the
prospect for such an appropriation as
is desired for the old North State.
Col. Keogh is evidently the right
man for the duties assigned him, and
we know that in conection with our
esteemed fellow citizen, Col. Andrews
the interests of our people will be
ze ilously guarded
Very Creditable.
In conversation this morning with
Private Secretary Telfair, he gave us
some points of great credit in the
matter of paying out the 'direct tax.
The entire cost of the business, such
as clerical assistance, &c, will be met
by the interest on the money put out
on loan. It will not cost the peo
ple of the State a cent. It is also a
credit to our State that it is the first
to put into operation the reimburse
ment of the people. .
Although the tax in Georgia does
not amount to over $82,0C0, nothing
has yet been done comparatively. Our
people should appreciate this.
Ou to Richmond.
All the talk is the great excursion
to Richmond next week. Remember
the day, next Wednesday August 5th.
and get ready. Messrs. Lacy, King
and Sherwood are "old hands at the
business" and "will have everything
arranged for a first rate time. Don't be
uneasy about the water, there will
be a plenty of it, and it will be kept
cool. Don't .worry about somewhere
to stay in Richmond; you will be
furnished with good accommodations
at the most reasonable rates. Ladies
and children will receive the best
care. In fact it is going to be one of
the great "gala" events of the season.
Then think of it -just $2 50 for the
round trip. There will not be such a
chance again for a long -time. Make
up your mind and go with the crowd,
you will never forget it.
Smoke the Special Permit cigar
manufactured by J. M. Norwood.
They are the best cigars in the city.
They can be found at all the dealers.
Ground Not Broken.
It is now stated, on authority, that
th9 ground for the new Deaf and
Dumb Asylum at Morganton will not
be broken until next spring. This
being the case, it is reasonably sure
that the buildings will not be finish
ed before the next meeting of the
General Assembly.
Now, we don't want to appear in
the role of putting on jealous airs
about this matter, but we really
think the removal of the institution
from Raleigh one of the greatest mis
takes ever made by our lawmakers.
In fact, no one, on a careful invest i
gation of the facts of the case, can
see little else in it but envy. In the
first place, its removal to a point far
beyond the central part of the State,
admits of no excuse. There was, of
course, no earthly reason why it
should have been done merely to give
Morganton or any other point a little
eclat. No one doubts that the place
is in most respects, healthy, but in
some insanceB it is not more so than
Raleigh. We had the buildings here,
and they are right under the eye of
the State officials. Our location is
central and easy of access from every
point of the compass. And then,
just think of a child, from the sea
coast being lugged way off in the
mountains, subj et to all the sudden
changes, so dangerous to unaccliiuat
ed people. There are many other
reasons, too numerous to mention,
why the asylum should have remain
ed where it was.
We hope this matter may be care
fully looked into. If the western peo
pie desire an Institution of the kind,
why, let them have it, but retain the
one now in Raleigh. We have an In
sane Asylum here and one in the west.
Why not pursue the same course, as
tq an Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb. Most states pursue this plan,
for Instance Virginia.
We hope the next Legislature will
discard all petty jealousies in a mat
ter of so much public interest; just
let them get the idea out of their
minds that Raleigh is seeking every
thing merely because it happens to be
the capital of the State. It is the
seat of government not from any ses
lection by its own people, but by a
vote of the sovereigns of the State.
But being the capital we should have
located here all the institutions over
which official care is to be taken
We write this in no spirit of growl
ing, but from what we consider the
best for the interest of the State, and
the unfortunate class involved.
