tion of negroes is called to meet here.
April 15th. The call Is Blgned by Henry
E. Hagan, H. II. Leak and 8. G. New-

The call says there is a lack of under

groes and no (organization. That the
meeting is to more greatly stimulate lm
provement in the Industrial and cduca
tlonal conditions of.the negro. That this
Is a year of doubt and uncertainty, and

The tchooncr Magic of New Born,
Capt. R. F. Geddes, was on February 20
last run into by a raft In tow by the
harbor tug Mollie. Tbe bob stay was
carried away and head gear sprung.
This necessitated a farther delay of two
or three days for repairs, which was
promptly attended to by the tug boat
owners. Tbe genial Captain will now
resume his voyago to Washington, I). C.
after being Ice bouud here for fivo
weeks.
During the Magic's last trip across
Pamlico sound Bhe encountered heavy
weather losing her yawl boat, davits,
etc.
The Mansion House Hotel patronized

date hotel, he commences business by

given the people the privilege of select

gold i lece to tbe person successful In
finding the mot appropriate name.
The contest was over Saturday, and
this wttk 1 will Inform you of tho name
adopted. From Mr. Gates' past record
In catering to tbe requirements of the

There will soon be a number of new

IUlskih, N. C, March 1 The school
board of Cumberland county divided the
public school fund not on s per capita
basts but in such a way as to keep every
school open four months. The schools
have been held that period and the teach
era havo been paid. The action of the
board was In violation of the school law
but the board thought It was acting un
der the law of 1901,whlch Is of later date
than the school law. The authorities
here do not see that they can do any
thing In the matter. In fact the action
In Cumberland may be really the Initial
step In a new way of dividing money
among the schools.
Cherokee to day gave notice It needed
no aid for Its schools, while Gaston ask
ed for only $820.
The soil Is bo saturated with water
that the roads are In some places treach
erous. The soil on top appears firm but
gives way under weight. No road work
can be done for some time for this rea
son. There were two thunderstorms yes
terday and torrential rains.
Sheriffs are settling last year's taxes
quite slowly. In Borne counties collec
tions are hard to make. In others mon
ey is plentiful.
Not one half the work on farms which
was done at this dato last year Is now
done. The difference Is very marked.
Thero la but little talk here about tbe
South Dakota bond suit, set for hearing
Monday boforo the United States Su
preme Court. Thore is grave doubt that
the court will then go on with the case.
To people here It appears to be a quite
transparent fast that the State of Dakota
is merely a cat's paw In this matter of
the speculators who hold the $800,000 of
Western North Carolina railway bonds.
It is not believed here that the court has
jurisdiction or will exercise It.
The Btate Supreme Court will devote
next week to the docket of appeals from
the 5th distiiet.
The convicts in the pouitentlary are
expected to begin Ibis month's work
under the overall contract made with an
Atlanta firm.
Ex-Judge Shepherd Is not a candidate
for Chief Justlco nor will he engage In
any scramble for that olllce. Reports
were put in circulation yesterday that
ho was u candidate. He authorizes me
to deny them.
GUM BRANCH.
March ;2nd We had a heavy rain
and wind Tuesday, a. in., another Fri
day a. m. and again last night a trenien
duous rain and wind. The land Is so
wet It can't be plowed now it is warm
enough to plow.
Some of tho farmers have taken off
some of their tobacco crop and will not
tend as much as Intended, so we hear
although it yet a good price
Mr. J anus King carried tho remainder
of his latt year's crop of tobacco to Kin
gton last week and it brought him some
thing over 1 4 cents on an average.
Wc spoke something lncur last letter
about the high prices being charged for
corn and other supplies and Messrs. W.
H. & C. 1) Francks name was mentioned
in connection with It, and we hear Mr.
Francks seoms to think that some reflec
tion on the firm was meant, but I wish
to state through the Journal that no re
flection was meant on any one as I only
meant to speak In a general way about
high prices everywhere and cot only at
our place.
Cow peas Is very scarce and command
the highest cash price. We think if
more attention was paid to the cultiva
tion of tho pea crop they would not be
so scarce In planting time and they are
a very good and healthy diet and are
liked by a good many people besides
convicts.
Mr. O. F. Taylor and family of Tuca
hoe are visiting his brother, W. I. Tay
lor of this burg.
Miss Flossie Barber of Flox, returned
homo yesterday. Mr. Kenneth Scott
and Miss Mollow Humphrey .went with
her.
Mr. Nelson Scott has an old-limey
rail splitting Thursday. Ho had 800
rails split and enough wood cut to cure
his tobacco.
Mr. John Humphrey seems to be a
good turkey hunter. We are continually
hearing of turkey dinners. Most time to
leave them off Mr. Humphrey.
Gardens will be late this year, and no
seed (or very few) is town as yet.

Children will play and get over-heated
get their feet wet, expose themselves in
