! Raleieh, August 2. A statement has
i . .. . .

. Swindlers who are serving ten year
sentences in the penitentiary upon the
payment of a $5,000 fine by each, they
' having been four years in prison. : The
attention of the Governor was called to
these statements and he said that all
. he knew of this matter was that it had
: beon intimated to him that a proposi-
tun of this character might be made
and submitted to him. His reply was
that if it were made he would give it
' careful : consideration' as 1 he does all

to what he would do after such looking
into the matter. . The proposition has
not been submitted. , :
This is a very remarkable ease and
tho Governor in speaking about it today
said the people outside have no idea of
the tremendous influences which are
being brought to bear to get these men
out of prison;- that Congressmen' and

of the State Museum has returned
from a visit to Hatteras where he took
a vacation. ' He is . very fond of that
place and indeed it is '.very ; pleasant,
He came this way. through the great
sounds and as he passed Davis Shore,
where a story sent out last Saturday
said a boy was eaten by a shark, he
heard' nothing of the matter and said
the people along thereseemed to be as
happy as usual. That story seems to
be- a great fake and some newspaper
man was evidently imposed upon by a
story teller, if reports be' true. . Mr.
Brimley says that at Hatteras he saw
a sea serpent of ' such length that hei
had to go to the top of the light house
to see his head and tail at the same
time. He estimated its length at a
mile, but was much chagrinedwhen told
by Secretary Bruner of the Agricultural-Department
who . is recognized au

did not count unless they were consid

The Economist of Elizabeth City , is
authority for the statement that a new
steamboat line is to be started soon
between that dace and New Bern.
Large capital has been invested and it

already been purchased and that one or

The Journal reporter was unable 1 to

and the feasability of it was doubted by
some. . Croatan sound is still the bane

reasons for cutting Elizabeth City out

Constant care and great expense. The

situation is on between the High Point

the idea last evening that the proposi

rate a system whereby the ' railroad
authorities would keep in touch with
the orders , received by the furniture
paople and supply the cars as " needed,
ouehttobe satisfactory. But there
came last'nlght telegrams and .etters
from the furniture people that this was
not at all satisfactory, and demanding
thatthe commission proceed at once to
force the Southern to comply in detail
with the demands made by -the furni
ture people. W. '

New Orleans; August 2. Today's re,
ports of the fever situation showed an
increase in the number of deaths, but
the health authorities . confessed to no
alarm over the situation, and said that
more fatalities were to be looked for
because during the last three or four
days there had been, a siflicient in
crease in the number of cases to war
rant the expectation of the heavier
mortality. The official report follows:

The schoobin both his, and my est ma

could desire healthful climate, com
fortable quarters, excellent table, gen

particularly has impressed me, and
that is the intimate and friendly rela

their teachers. Addison was somewhat
behind in his education when he enter
ed your school, but notwithstanding, I
found him at the end of the year fully
