Fires were comfortable this morn
lng.
This is a state holiday and the de
partinents'at thexsapltol ere closed.
Many of our citizens have gone to
the Charlotte celebration
Senator Ransom is in attendance on
the Oharl- tto celebration.
The usual "I told you so," is now in
order.
Gov. Vance could not accompany
the congressional party to Charlotte
owing to the con lit on of his health.
Now that the convention is gone,
let us get up something else to re
move the ennui.
WiUUtns. of Pitt, goes ba"k to the
bosom of his corsHtueuts. ucterrifled
and as full of patriotism as ever.
Nearly everyone has need of a good
sprirg tupi1ii!i ., ai.d Hood's Sarsa
parilU is undoiibt lly the best. Try
it this season.
The- street gars are now rnn
ning through from the fir grounds
to E ist Raleigh, without interrup
tion.
The Pythian band will give a con
cert in their hall tonight. All mem
bers of the K-iisrhts or Pythias are
invited.
A new town clock with ahandsoiue
enpalo on t c market house building
would be the correct thins for our
city Fathers to order.
All the delegates elected to the
Chicago Convention are shy of inter
viewers They generally declare that
they are for the man who can win
and that ends it.
There is a general desire to ha,ve
the Business Men's Carnival repeated.
The very large crowd at the lecent
rendition is a guarantee that it would
bear repetition.
It is rumored in the city today that,
the condition of Gov. Vance is some
what serious. We must think, how
ever, that it arose from the fact that
he did Dot feel able to attend the
Charlotte, celebration.
There are 985 penitentiary cod vlcte
at work at Rocky Blount, building a
stockade preparatory to commencing
the railway shops to be erected there
by the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road. '' V
Read the advertisement of Messrs.
Whiting Bros, who announce some
real solid values in the clothing line,
&o. Bbpecially should our people
note the. new color in the line of
Derby hats for $1 49.
The alarm sounded this afternoon
from box 24 was caused from a small
house in the eastern section of the
oitv known as East Raleigh catching
fire. It was soon extinguished with
little or no damage. , It was occupied
by Mr. Sawyer and situated corner
Davie and East streets.
It is reported that letters have been
received from some of the -colored
people who left this section of the
State for Kansas some time since du
ring the exodus craze, stating that
they were in a bad condition and
' longing for a return to their old
homes. No better plate than North
a O irolina, of which Raleigh la the gar
den spot. .,
The graded schools closed today
for summer vacation.
All the trains passing through to
day going west were crowded with
persons for the Charlotte celebration
Several of the newly elected Board
of Aldermen in Greensboro have been
declared ineligble bnoause they hold
other offices, and a new election has
been ordered.
Reports continue to be received at,
the Agricultural Department of the
ravages of grasshoppers in the east
em section of the State, especially in
Robeson. They attack the leaves of
the forest trees in great numbers.
There have been only 06 complaints
docketed by the Railroad Commission
ap to date. This is very good when
ve consider that some people are f
ungenerous as to declare that all cor
porations have no souls.
We learn that the sales of connuer
cial fertilizers in the State so far this
spriog.bas been two thirds larger than
last spring. This is evidencsd by the
sales of tonnage tax tags at the Agri
cultural Depaitment.
The goat that caused the alarm of
fire last evening by butting at a look
ing glass in which his shadow wps rc
fle ted, upsetting a lamp, hesbee-i
arrested, tried and convicted. He was
executed this morning by throat cut
ting. Mr. George Williams informed us,
today, that chicken thieves made a
raid on the promises of bis father,
Mr J.-Rufflu Williams on New Bern
avenue, last ivg'.'.t. They carried off
several valuable hens.

Our County Commissioners.
The magistrates of the county of
Wake will meet next month in this
city for tbe purpose of electing a new
board of co'iuty commissioners, and
it is a matter that is attracting more
than ordinary interest We are of
those who believe that the commist
siouers of a county are something
outside of a mere board to be chosen
only from political considerations.
We look upon them from a business
standpoint, and believe that they
should be selected with a view to
their business qualifications. It may
be almost considered that the board
of commissioners of a county the size
of Wake, constitutes a body possess
ing to some degree the powers of a
small legislature Wake is a great
d unt, and her interests are varied
and many It will not do to select
men unfitted by experience or educa
tion to transact matters brought up
for consideration W will have much
hereafter to say on this subject.
There is abundant room for great
criticism.
flat Sale. '
Swindell's sale of ladies straw hats at
10c and 15c began yesterday. There

Crocker, on East, Hargrett street.
iood Service.
The Western Union TelAgraph Co.

dered dnring the recent convent ou
Tbe volume of business was treraen
''ous but it was admirably and quick
ly disposed of by Manager Eorton
and his efficient farce -Mr. W. C.
Richardson, the aight press operator,
Mr. Burch and Mr. Jones. The mes
senger boys-Tommle P. Lumsden,
Lercy Thiem, Robert G Nixon and
0. O. Bunch were always on hand
conveying messages between the con
vention hall and the office. They
performed their duties well and de
serve praise
Deserved.
One of the most graceful and de
serving acts of the recent convention
as i he passage, late yesterday after
noon, of a resolution most cordially
endowing the administration of Gov.
Holt, of which the following is a copy:
Resolved. That this convention
most heartily endorses the adminis
tration of Gov. Holt. It has been
honest, able and clean, in all the dif
ferent departments. The public
money has been safely kept, the ex
penditures duly audited and dis
bursed, and the public school system
has been brought to a state of excel
lence never before attained in North
Carolina.
Occupying the position of a non
partisan joarnal we can all the more
bear testimony to the justice of the
resolution. We can go further and
say, that as a temporary citizen of
Raleigh Gov. Holt has, to a great ex
tent, endeared himself to many of
our people. We are sure that we
voine the public sentfment of the
people of Raleigh in wishiug for him
and his household the longest span
of human happiness.

Many People Have Few Dollars
The struggle in life for an existence
to many people is accompanied by
sweat of blood and tears of gall. And
then for these same people wasting
and squandering their substance by
paying dearly for wares when Swin
dell has just the stuff they want and
need at prices far less than what they
are paying each day, does appear as
the height of folly. Swindell has
been (13) thirteen years in this busi
ness and is well acquaiuted with all
the byways in which goods are to be
had for less than the regular price.
Swindell asks 10 accommodation
from the wholesale men; has the cash
and is master of the situation Mer
chants who have to buy on credit
have no bargains to offer you D T
Swindell went to New York last week
and the purchases can now be seen
in our stores. A visit to our store
will pay tou.
Yours truly, '
D. T. Savin Dell.
