Blackwell and took from them their beloved son William Marshall. Last spring while a student of Whitsett Institute, he had the meas les which left him with a terrible cough, and terminated in pneumo nia while at the same school this winter. He was on the road to recoyery, when the doctor who was attending him permitted him to come home too soon after his illness and caused him to take a relapse. After being at home something over a week he died at ten minutes to five o'clock on the morning of Jan. 6, 1901. All was done for him that doctors and loving parents could do but all in vain. He was only a youth in the flush of manhood, being only eighten years of age and was dearly loved by all who kn6w him. He was a member ot the M. ft. church and was a consistent christian boy. He was buried at Marrows Chapel church, of which he had been a mem ber even since he was a little child, and there was a large crowd present to show their sympathy to the be reaved family. He leaves behind him a father, mother five sisters and one brother to mourn his loss. He was beautiful in character and would have graduated at Whitsett Institute this spring had life been spared him. The whole community extend their warmest sympathy to the heart broken family. S.

Synops's of the Proceedings of That Body. Thursday's News and Observer J At the Democratic jiint legisla tive caucus tonight S. M. Gattis, of Orange, was elected chairman, and Mr. Hood, of Wayne, secretary. P. M. Pearsall, secretary of the Democratic State executive commi tee, on motion of Mr. Winston, made his report on the senatorial primary. He said the primary was a new thing in North Carolina, and he individually was not "stuck" on it. Senator Foushee. of Durham, moved that Simmons be declared by acclamation the choice of the caucus for United States Senator. This was adopted amid cheers. E. B. Norvell was elected enrolling clerk and Mrs. Margaret Shipp was recommended as first assistant to the enrolling cierk. H. A. London's motion that no private business corporation be chartered by the legislature was passed. Both houses of the General Assem bly met at noon yesterday and per fected organization by electing ofii cers. The candidates, for the vari ous positions nominated in caucus the night before were all elected. There was in all cases only one can didate, except for Speaker of the House. For this office the Rspub- icans nominated Isaat, N. Ehbs, of Madison, against Walter E. Moore, of Jackson, Ebbs was selected at a Republican caucus held yesterday morning. In the other cases the xte publicans and Populists did not vote. A committee of the house appoint ed to wait on Governor Russell re ported that His Excellency would send in his message at noon today. The senate passed a resolution providing for the inauguration in joint session on Tuesday, Jan. 15:h. There was a very good attendance of spectators in the galleries or both the House and the benate chamber. House of Representatives. Promptly on the stroke of 12 o'clock the House of Representatives was called to order by Chief Clerk Brevard Nixon. The opening prayer was offared by Rev. Dr. J. T. Bagwell, who has recently moved to Raleigh from Williamston. In beautiful lauguag he prayed for divine guidance in the duty of legislating to the best inter ests of the commonwealth. The Cnief Clerk then called Judge H. G. Connor, of Wilson, to the chair. The fir3t order was the roll call by counties, and swearing in of Representatives. Tne oath was ad ministered by Judge Walter Clark to tne members in groups or ten or twelve each. Several members had neglected to bring their certificates and were sworn in afterwards on special motion. Tne Unairman then announced that the House was ready to proceed to organization, and ordered the election of speaker. Frank Winston of Bertie, was recognized, and placed in nomination the unanimous choice of the Democratic party Walter Evans Moore, of Jackson county. He gave the outlines of his life, "one that has been both useful and honorable. Born 44 years ago in Buncombe, at an early age the care of a mother and sisters de volved upon him, and he met tne duty bravely. At a little more than 21 years of age, he laid down the tools of a carpenter and came before the bar of tiie State to practice law His experience in the Legislature amply qualifies him for the position as well as the fact that for two years he was Grand Master of Masons in North Carolina, ruling without single complaint." Mr. Winston concluded with a glowing tribute to the nominee as a lawyer and as man. JLiocKe Jraig, or uuncomoe, sec onded the nomination in a brief but eloquent speech, in which he thanked the representative from Bertie for placing the name of Mr Moore before the House as the next speaker, and went on to speak of the nominee's sterling Democracy and the part his ancestors had taken in developing the transmontane cone try. "In the critical times of 1898 and 1900." he said, "there was no man who came nearpr doiDg his full duty than Walter E. Moore." He said Jackson county was casting one of the greatest of her men into the breach, when she sent Walter E. Moore to stand for the Constitu tional Amendment from the West, just as the Romans of old were com pelled to cast the noblest of their men into the chasm that yawned in the Forum, before they could close it. H. W. Stubbs, of Martin, for the extreme Eastern part of the State, then presented the hearty endorse ment of that section for the nomi nee. O. V. F. Blythe, of Henderson, then placed in nomination in behalf of the Republicans Isaac Newton, T. B. Benbow, ot Yadkin, seconded the nomination. This ended the nominations. When the vote was being taken, W. T. Duncan and E. B. Owen, the Populist members, both of Sampson, asked to be excused from voting, as they had no candidate. The num ber of votes cast was 112, of which Moore received 90 and Ellis 10. Ac cordicgly Mr. Moore was announced the duly elected Speaker of the House, and Messrs. Lccke Craige, cf Buncombe, and .S. M. Gattis, of Orange, were appointed a committee to inform him of his election and conduct him to the chair. The new Speaker made a short address ac cepting the honor, as follows: SPEAKER MOORE'S ADDRESS "To be elected the presiding offi cer of so distinguished a body is well worthy the ambition of any gentle man of North Carolina, and I say to you that I receive it with the proud est gratitude. We are reminded that we meet at the beginning of a new century, and I trust that the work of this body will redound to the glory of the State in the coming years of that century. We are met here at the behest of the people, and we are admonished to say to the peo ple of North Carolina that all citi zens of the commonwealth shall bear equally the burdens of the State; that all property, real and personal, shall be equally taxed according to its value. We are also admonished to place within the reach of all th people of the State all the advant ages of a good education. Senate. The Senate met yesterday morning and it is a body of men of which North Carolina may wed be proud. They gathered in the Senate Cham ber long before the hour of meeting, and were kept busy shaking hands and becoming more thoroughly acquainted. There are laws of importance to be transacted at this session and a glance at the faces of the Senators gives one confidence that they will do their duty ably and well. Practically all the Senators have come and there is a prospect of lively debate and eloquent oratory within the next two months. Promptly at noon Lieutenant Gov ernor Reynolds called the Senate to order. The meeting was opened with prayer by Dr. A A. Maishall of the First Baptist church, Raleigh. Mr. C. C. Daniels, chief clerk of the last session, acted as clerk and called the roll of Senators, who were formally sworn into office by Lieu tenant Governor Reynolds, noon presentation of their credentials. All members were found present ex cept Senator F. G. James, of Green ville, who sent word that he would be there today. Senator Speight introduced a bill appropriating $1 000 for the im provement of ventilation in the halls of the General Assembly. Senator Aycock wanted to know if that ap- propiiation was available at the present time. "If we spend too or writ!e7,or partly printed and part ly writteu, the words "For the School Fun ATn?n-?ment;" and those opposed to the said amend ment shall cast a ballot upon which is piinted or written, or partly printed and partly written the words A r.n-ro- .1 I A. 11 Agaiuoi, uuuuui x uuu aUlttllUUlculi Sec. 3.

The North Carolina Grand Lodsre of Masons in annual session in Raleigh the past week completed their work and adjjurned at noon Thursday. The principal work of the closing session was the installation of the officers, those elected having been chosen by the lodge on Wednesday night and the appointive officers an nounced by Grand Master B. S. Royster Thursday morning. The officers installed wert: ELECTIVE. Royster, Oxford, Grand Deputy Senior Hamilton, Charlotte, Rileigh, Grand Raleigh, Grand much on ventilation now," he said. "we will be more than sufficiently yentiJated two years from now." On motion of Senator Chandler the bill was referred to the commit tee on finance. Mr. Marshall, Republican, of Surry, introduced a bill to repeal the North Carolina State election laws. This was considered rather "nervy" by the Democrats, and Sen ator Woodward promptly moved to lay tne cut on tne taoie, wmch mo tion was carried. Yesterday in the Senate when the name of Senator J. E. Burroughs, of the Eleyenth district, was called, ths Senator received a great ova tion from members of that body and the galleries. The cause of this demonstration was the fact that Mr l5urrougns is tne nrst white man that ever represented that district from Vance county, and with the exef-ption of Charles A. Cook, of Warren, the newly appointed Su preme Court judge, who was elected by an upheaval of Populists and Re publicans, is the only white man who has represented the Eleventh district since the Civil War. Sena tor Burtoughs is a Democrat and one of the best men in the State He has had much legislative experi erce, having served in years past as a member trom Granyille. it may be remarked in this con nection that this is the first Legis lature that has met since the war that did not contain a single negro.

"It's queer how some people will argue and put all their domestic peace to flight disputing about the merest trifle," said Mr. J&wner to his wife one evening. "I was over to Tom Dawson's the other day and he and his wife got into a regular quarrel over whether some little trifling event Tom had been talking about occurred on Tuesday or Wed nesday. It wasn't of the slightest consequence which day it occurred." "Well, I suppose that Mrs. Daw son felt that she was right about the day it occurred," said Mrs Jaw ner. "Well, what if she was?" said Jawnera trifle sharply. "It didn't make a straw's difference whether it occurred on Tuesday or Saturday." "Why did Dawson argue about the matter, then?" "Well, why did his silly wife make herself ridiculous disputing about it?" sillier than he any you make the argu- my DUKE WILL CORNER CIGARS. House Second Day. Representative Locke Craig's bill for increasing the number of judges and jadicial districts provides: "That the State shall be divided into sixteen judicial districts, for each of whicu, six judges and a solicitor shall be chosen in the man ner now prescribed by law. "That all acts of the General Assembly of this State creating and providing for Criminal Courts and circuits are hereby repealed." TO AMEND CONSTITUTION. Three bills were introduced Thurs day providing for an amendment to article 9 of the Constitution. These bills have for their object the appor tionment of taxes for the school fund to the two races in the propor tion that each race contributes to the fund. In other words, these bills would give the white children of the State the benefit of the school tax paid by the white people of the State. These bills were introduced by Representative Stubbs of Martin, Wright of Rowan and Nichols of Pitt. The bill by Mr. Stubbs was intro duced at the last session of the Gen eral Assembly and received a favor able report from the Committee on Coastitutional Amendments, of which Mr. George Rountree was chbiiman. ' Mr. Stubbs did not press the bill for reasons well known to the leaders of the Assembly. Representative Stubbs' bill to amend section 2, article 9, of the Constitution, is as follows: Section 1. That section 2, article 9, of the Constitution be amended by striking out the words, "but there shall be no discrimination in favor of or to the prejudice of either race," and inserting in lieu thereof the following words, "and the Gen eral Assembly shall provide for an equitable distribution of the school fund between the races: and, in ad dition to the fund raised under the general law for gchool purposes, the people of any race living in any county, city, town, township or ter ritory my, upon being first author ized by the General Assembly, levy, for educational purposes of that race in that county, city, town, township or territory, an additional tax upon the property and poll of the citizens of that race situated in that county city, town, township or territory, if a majority of the qualified voters of said race shall, at any election held for that purpose under such rules and regulations as the General Assembly may provide, decide to levy said tax. That the same shall be levied upon the property and poll of the citizens of that race alone in the same manner as other taxes are levied and collected. In levying said tax the same equation between property and poll shall be obseryed. Sec. 2. That at the next general election m this State this -amendment shall be submitted to the quali fied voters of the whole State. Those in favor of said amendment shall cast a ballot upon which is printed The Consumption of Cigarettes Has Fallen Oft 30 to 4O Per Cent. The New York Dispatch says James B. Duke has practically com pleted the formation of a cigar trust. It will be distinct from the American Tobacco Company, of which he u the head. It is intended to give the trust control over the only remain ing branch of the tobacco business that has presented formidable com petition. The American Tobacco Company has suffered much from the compe tition ot cheap cigars during the pas two years. The consumption of cigarettes, one of its chief monop olies, has fallen off from 30 to 40 per cent. Atter the trust had gained mastery a year ago over its riyals in the plug tobacco field President Duke devoted his energies to a study of the cheap cigar's constantly in creasing menace to trust prestige It is understood she has secured options on enough large cigar fac tories in important districts of the East, South and Middle West to give his new combination complete con trol of the cheap cigar market. The Powell, Smith & Co. factories are among the largest. Final details of the purchase, it is said, will be fol lowed by fust information as to the scope and strength of Mr. Duke' new cigar trust. Financial Condition of the State. mucq interest is ieit by our peo pie all oyer tne state at this time in the financial condition of the com monwealth. The statements furnish ed by the treasurer and auditor with in the last few days, therefore, have a pecular interest iust now. The figures of the treasurer, show ing the expenditures for the last 2 years, tor eacn six year period, are rather surprising, so great has been the increase. From 1877 to 1882 the expenditures averaged annually $004,442; from 1883 to 1888, $917, 419, from 1889 to 1894. $1 143,672 from 1895 to 1901, $1 415 085. Tue increase during each period is such as to attract attention; the difference between the first and the last '75 to '82 acd '95 to 1901 is two and one t&ird times greater in the latter than in the former period. Expenses o government have therefore increased two and one-third times in 14 years 1 akmg the extreme periods as com parisons. About one and one-third of the total receipts of the state now go to the support of the charitable and penal institutions. It was very different 14 years ago, and since then two asylums tor the insane (that for whites at Morganton and that for blacks at Goldsboro and one for the deaf and dumb) have been erected and are now filled to oyerflowing with patients. Then the pension money paid a class of Confederate veterans, and the expenses incident to the erection and maintenance of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for boys and the Normal and Industrial for girls, and other large sources of expenditures are to be considered. So upon second thought the large expense is not so startling as it first appeared. It is estimated that fully a half million dollars more than at present available through the regular chan nels will be required to meet tho ex penses of the state government an nually that is if the proper com mon school facilities are provided and adequate provision made for the care of the insane and other un fortunate wards of the common wealth. Where is it to come from? A Prominent Chiepo Woman Speaks Prof. Itoxa Tyler, of Chicago, Vice President Illinois Woman's Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, says: "I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse and the medicine upset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain'3 Cough Remedy and I found it was p'essant to tafee and it relieved rre at once.
