It is a private matter, and friend
Raney may consider it none of our

LETTER FROM MR. SPENCE.
He Explains About Uis Trip
A letter was received last evening
from Mr. Neill A. Spence, our enter
prising young man who, in company
with our enegetio young friend Mr.
Will Wynne, is now on a bicycle tour
to the north. The letter is dated
August 6th, and Mr. Spence says: I
received a telegram asking why I
took the train. I was compelled to
get somewhere to have my bicycle
repaired. The last five hours I run it
I had to pull going down hill and I
had a rather hard jaunt. You know
I could not run nothing like that.
The balls running through it crooked
like it had bursted open. I will get
it fixed August 7th, and will go on to
New York if my bicycle don't break
so I cant. I only rode on cars about
60 miles. If I could have come to
some turnpike road I would like to
have rode over it if my wheel was in
fix. No one could expect me to ride
ou a trip like this unless my bicycle
was in first class running order. There
need not be any sensation about my
taking the train. They should know
my wheel is wrong or 1 played out.

A Handsome Compliment.
We have been shown a most beau
tiful gold breast pin which was pre
sented last night by the members of
Ruth Lodge, Daughters of Rebekah to
our esteemed friend, Jasper M. Mc
Rary, who was Noble Grand during
the last term. The design is a dove
surmounting a bundle of 6ticks with
the letters F. L. T. It was quite a
surprise to Mr. McRary who is natur
ally a modest gentleman, but it was
a compliment that all will agree was
deserved. The presentation was made
by Grand Secretary Woodell. The
pin was purchased of Mr. Thos. W.
Blake, our popular Jeweler.
The World's Fair.
We notice a communication in the
columns of our highly esteemed con
temporary, the News and Observer
this morning, suggesting that the
World's Fair Commissioners and their
alternates, together, with the Gov
ernor, and others interested hold a
conference with a view of determin
ing a policy for action. We consider
this suggestion a most admirable one
and we think it should be carried out
duiing the approaching exposition.
No one who takes the pains to look in
to the matter carefully can doubt that
the decision of the Governor, under
the circumstances was right, but it
does not alter the fact that it leaves
us in a delicate situation as to the
part North Carolina is to take in the
great show. Some steps should be
taken as soon as possible.
