Four Stores.One Tobacco Warehouse and Other Buildings Destroyed. Clarksville Ya.,Feb. 16 At 2 a. m. Clarksville Va., was visited by a most disastrous fire entailing a loss of $15, 000. The fire had its origin in 1 he rear of a tobacco warehouse from causes un known, burning four stores one; tobac co warehouse, the telephone exchange and one dwelling in the heart ot the town.

Kitchen Says.Waste. Representative W.W. Kitchin made a vigorous five minutes speech in sup port of an amendment to strike out of the Naval Appropriation Bill a prov ision for the employment of three thou sand seamen. He contended that these men were absolutely unneces sary and that their employment would be a piece of extravagance, he spoke strongly and well, as he always does, but to no avail as the RepuDlican ma jority retained the provision. Tobacco Still Low. Quite a large number of loads of to bacco come in Tuesday afternoon on the mud wave, and thtra was a fairly good breaks of tobacco Wednesday. So far as we could learn there is no change in prices which is not looked for during this crop. The American Tobacco Co., which is the best oreraniz ed monopoly in the world, is simply looking out for No. Land; will continue to buy tobacco at the lowest notch and the only salvation now for the far mers is in organization with a determi nation to stick together and hold their tobacco until a living price is paid for it -4la.o sao.lzoi- - -"- Death of Mr. John S.Ellis. Mention was made in these columns last week of the critical condition of Mr. John S. Ellis, who was stricken with paralysis at the home of his broth er Mr. E. W. Ellis, in Henderson on Tuesday night previous. Such was the nature of the case that it was seen from the first that it must prove fatak Monday night Mr. Ellis died. In his death a good man has passed away. As stated last week he was for twenty one years clerk at the Yarborough House in Raleigh, and had a wide ac quaintance. He was very popular and his death will cause deep regret. Mr. Ellis would have been 53 years old the 12th of next J uly. He had never mar ried. Gold Leaf. Time up 4th of March. The Legislature ought to adjourn on the 4th of March but it seems to be im possible for it to do so in less than a week after that time Not a single im port ant bill of a general nature has yet passed both branches of the Legisla ture.and important legislation is more longer delayed thin ever before known. Great numbers of minor bills have become laws, but there is a gen eral hanging back as to great matters. Everybody is afraid of the committee on appropriations. The bills carrying appropriations have to run the gaunt let of that committee and it certainly nas its hands full. That there will have to be a very heavy scaling of some, at least of the appropriations asked for is already evident.

Meeting of The State Executive Com mittee. At a meeting of the State Democrat ic Executive Committee in Raleigh Tuesday night to consider the Ward Bill, by a vote of 50 to 25 the commit tee at 2 o'clock adopted a resolution offered by Joseph us Daniels to the effect that the committee take no ac tion. This vote was followed by a speech of two hours from Chairman Simmons; supporting the ard bill, and defending his position. He declar ed he ha" not sought to pass the bill as a party measure or to drive any body to its support, but had assisted as a private citizen in efforts to carry out solemn promises to the people. Senator Simmons, the State chair man, took the floor and Mr. John G. Wilson, of Gerensl oro, was called to the chair,' presidlvt,? most ably. Mr. Simmons made a long and elaborate speech, this covering in detail his con nection with temperance legislation and his work as State chairman. In it he declared that his sole aim was (or the interests of the State and the Democratic party that hi whoe life andall his actions bore testimony to this. It was the greatest speech of his, life and was punctuated by frequent tursts of applause. It was a speech that told. He did not consider for a minute he said that there had been any agree inent which was not in the platform itself. After the Watts law plank had been placed in the platform no one eon Id deny that it meant anything ex cept what the English language said it means. If he had thought that it could or did mean anything else, he would never have gone to sleep with out communicating that agreement to the people. It was just the thing to do as the Legislature represents the people and the Democratic party of North Caroli na. There was solid satisfaction behind the applause which Tuesday afternoon in the Hall of the House greeted the vote of twenty seven to 4 for favorable report on the Ward bill tor temperance legislation. Already passed by the Senate the House will make it a iaw. A great crowd assembled to hear the debate before ,the House Committee on Liquor Traffic. The galleries were filled with ladies and many were on the floor. Citizens from many sections were present, members of the General Assembly gathered, and the closest attention was given speakers for and against the bill. Speakers on either side won applaus-, but the great volume was for those for the bill, and this at times was prolong ed. It rose to its heighth perhaps when in replying to attack made on the News and Observer and its editor. Hon. R B. White, Franklinton, spoke in eulogy of the work done by these on great mora! lines and for the best interests of the State. For the bill the speakers were Messrs. Josephus Daniels, James H. Pou, R. B. White, of Franklinton, F. R. Ha-rris. of Henderson, and Henry A. j London, of Pittsboro. In opposition to the bill the committee was addrees ed by Messrs. C. B. Watson, of Win ston, and R. N. Hackett, of Wilkes boro. General Fitzhugh Lee Honored. A larere audience of legislators, citi zens and ladies, in the hall of the House of Representatives, honored Fitzhugh Lee and his daughter, Miss Virginia Lee Monday afternoon. Governor Glenn called the meeting to order, and cordially welcomed the distinguished visitors, and commend ed the object of their mission to se cure North Carolina's co operation and aid in the Jamestown Exposition. In an eloquent address Senator Thomas W. Mason introduced Gen eral Lee, who held the close attention of the audience during his interesting presentation of the objects, merits and prospects of the exposition. He said Virginia had appropriated two hundred thousand dollars, and would be glad to have North Carolina join in an appropriation, as well as in the celebration. A bill was now be fore Congress appropriating two million, six hundred thousand dollars, and the exposition company had raised!nearly two million dollars. He gave a glow insr picture of the projected internat ional parade of naval vessels on Hanip ton Roads from all civilized countries, and an international review of troops of all nations, declaring it would be the grandest peace congress in the history of man. He intimated that King Edward of England would come across on his royal yacht, and take part in the naval paraae. He conclud ed amid a storm of applause, by say ing if there had been no Jamestown, there would have been no Washing ton, no Jefferson, no Louisiana Pur chase, nor United States of America, no liberty enlightning the world. News and Observer. Great bargains in hamburgs at Miss Mary B. Gergory's. The Legislature has done right to amend the election law so as to make it an offence not only to sell but to give away liquor within five miles of a polling place on election day. Of course it was argued that for a man to offer a friend a drink in privacy of his home on election day would make him guilty if he lived within five miles of the polls and this is true. But the use of liquor in elections in tnis state is fast becoming a scandal, and the only way to stop it is to stop. It s by no means unusual for jugs oi liquor to be kept near the polls on election day and the number of voters who can be mnuenced by a driuK is astonisn leg iandmarK. Business Change. Parham Bros.

A Doomed Street. We heard one of our farmers, who come to town Tuesday with a load of tobacco, say that the worse piece of road he passed over for 14 miles was on lower Raleigh street, and could not understand why the town authorities would not even clean out the draics on each side and allow the water to run off, and fill up the deep holes. That piece of street seems to be under the band of Town Commissioners, as the editor lived on that street for many years, and he knows of about 8 years that not a lick of work was done on that benighted and forsaken street.
