Summons has been issued
from the supevicr court of
Granvilie county, in a suit
brought by Rev. 7. J. Gattis
against Rev. Dr. J. G. Kilgo,
president of Trinity college,
B. N. Duke, VV. H. B ranson
and W. R. Odell. The action
is brought to recover damages
for slander, and is the out
growth of the recent unpleas
ant controversy between Dr.
Kilgo and Judge Clark.
The Democratic caucus at
Raleigh has decided not to
create any new superior court
districts; but to reorganize the
two existing criminal court
districts. The announcement
that Gov. Russell, if more su
perior court districts were
established in place of crimi
nal court districts, would ap
point at least one Republican
judge and solicit!, practically
settled the matter.
Superintendent Day favors
Russell's old idea of leasing
the penitentiary. Asked what
was in his opinion the best
method for the future conduct
of the penitentiary, he replied:
"In my opinion it should be
leased to responsible persons,
on the best terms possible, the
State retaining all control of
the management and discipline
of the convicts, in order to
protect them from harsh treat
ment. I believe such an offer
will be made in thenear future."
Prof. W. F. Massey says: "I
believe that tho time is not far
distant when eastern North
Carolina will find that she has
been making a great mistake
in trying to grow bright to
bacco, and that the farmers
there whose interest is in to
bacco will find that their
lands are much adapted to the
culture of cigar leaf from Cuban
or Sumatra seed, and when
they learn the methods of hand
ling this kind of tobacco, and
abandon the bright leaf to the
upper section of the State, they
will reap large profits from to
bacco." A meeting of colored citi
zens was held at Raleigh this
week to consider the proposed
"Jim Ciow" car law, and also
the advisability of emigration.
Congressman George White
was present and favors emigra
don. He would do the 2nd
congressional district a service
if he would emigrate himself.

It is said a canvass of the
senatebn the question of rati
fying the peace treaty shows a
lack cf six eotes of the neces
sary two-thirds to ratify, though
10 are put down doubtful. The
opposition is led by Gorman.
Democratic senators say they
have sufficient number pledg
ed to amend the treaty and
make acceptable to the entire
senate. This amendment pro
vid3s tilat there si all be no ex
tension of sovereignty of the
UnLed States over the Philip
pines, but that Spain shall
evacuate, leaving the natives
free to establish their own gov
ernment. There will be great reduction
of all fees by the Legislature.
The fees for registering crop
hens will be reduced at least
fifty per cent as, well as the
fees lor recording all deeds and
mortgages. It will also reduce
the cost of making out tax list.
War has broken out in Samoa
and the President has ordered
the cruiser Philadelphia to the
scene to protect American in
terest. General Lee's birthday was
generally observed throughout
the South. In Raleigh Dr. Aver
ett delivered his eloquent lecture
on General Lee before the Leg
islature, and adjourned in hon
or of Lee's memory.
The committees on education
will, it is .expected, recommend
a bill which will make it the
duty of county boards of edu
cation to distribute the public
school fund so as to give each
school in a county, white and
colored, the same length wf
schcol term each year, and in
making such apportionment of
funds to have due regard to the
grade of teaching required- In
other words, negro teachers can
be employed at say half the
cost of white teachers.
flow to Prevent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that
paeumonia always results fiom
a cold or from an attack of la
grippe. During the epidemic
of la grippe a few years ago
when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed
that the attack was never fol
lowed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used. It contracts any
tendency of a cold or la grippe
to result in thai dangerous dis
ease. It is the bost remedy in
the' world for bad colds and la
grippe. Every bottle warrant
