C, Jany 3. Congress - man William Kitchen, of . the Fifth District, spent some hours here, today. He declares he Is quite sure of nqia : inatlon for Gqvernor by the Democra tic Convention next summer, on the first ballot He says that is the view of his friends In the State. There are Intimations that .inj. the spring- there are going to be some more caudl dates for this nomination in the fMd. From what can be gathered in conver- - satlon with persons from many coun- . ties, there is no walk over for anybody In this matter. V ; . ' A party of ladles from New England .came down from Pinehurst today par tlcularly to see the "colonial relics here,, the special attraction to them being the picture of the Edenton Tea Party and other pictures Illustrating that feature of colonial life in this v. State. ,-;--t Members of the Blckett Commission which has charge of all matters con ' -cerning the Insane of the State, ex press their desire to bring all the hospitals up to the top notch in point of equipment. Dr. McNlell, of the commission, says that an idea has been v to here the. colony of epileptics at soma pciraf far tram any of the hospi tals for the inaane, but no point hits been agreed upon and t is not at all improbable that the' location WiTr be near Raleigh as originally agreed up oj, The attorney general has been " asked t look into the advisability of , the location near ' here on lands boughtfrom the Grimes family last year, jhe point of inquiry being wheth- er the laws protecting the water shed of the stream which supplies this city ' ,wlth drinking water would permit oc cupancy. The attorney general has not yet reported on this 'matter, and , Is to confer about It with the city of fleers. The Blckett Commission ap proves the contracts for the male ward r at the Central hospital here and it . makes provision for a group' of cot - tages for about 100 of the insane, whose trouble is of mild form, this group of buildings to be of some lit tle distance from 'the present build ings. The colony plan, of handling the Insane ia'In use In several States ' and has been found very satisfactory. The prohibitionists here, are very muck gratified at the ste'ps-the author ities are taking jto enforce the law? Bob Riley, tho irhlte man Trho came here from Durham and who sold three half pints of whiskey on election day, - is in jail, pending an appeal,, as he could not gjyo bond.. Fines are not going to be imposed on blind tiger operators, but they are to be sent tc the roads in every case. Riley got a , six months sentence. This Is the plan agreed on. It is the one which Is found to be effective. A. Yesterday evening a woman in the tenderloin district was arrested on the charge of selling liquor. Itls said that sho had a Federal license, but that it " vafl not displayed. , The record No. 30, show ins such licenses is to be very closely studied by the authorities here. Those at other points In the State would do well also to keep up with this register. .., ' j Governor Glenn has Invited Presi dent Roosevelt to make : a " hunting . trip with him to the eastern part of the. State to a large game preserve, near. New Bern.. As yet the President ' has not replied, but he has informed , the governor ho Is very glad the latter Is to be present at,tho conference to be held by the President at Washing ton in May with all the governors, to " consider preservation of forests, de velopment of waterways and many other vitally Important matters.

Raleigh, N. C, Jany 4. Insurance Commissioner Young has a ';. report from Chief J. M. Galliager, :of the Washington, N. C, fire department which makes a remarkably fine show Ing for last year.. The fire department attended 27 fires. The loss was only $400, half of this being a gasolene boat in ; the harbor. ; Cbmmlsisoner Young says perhaps no other place the size of Washington 1 nthe State can make so good a report as this. At any rate he would like to hear from the chiefs of the various departments the showing they can make. He finds a decided improvement throughout the State in the way of Improved con ditions and increased efficiency of fire departments. Under the laws now In force, properly enforced, there are bound to be good results.. . Mrs. L. C. Capehart, a daughter of the late Hon. B. F. Moore, of this city, who died this week, gives to the Rex Hospital here $i;B00 as a memorial of her mother, who. was Lucy Wil liams Boddle. She bequeaths to St Luke's Home for Aged Women at Ral eigh $1,000. Her estate Is valued al) $75,000 and is mainly divided among flv? brothers and sisters, j She leaves her cousin Mary . Dick son,', o Baltimore, during her life time a thousand dollars, but at her death, half of this goes to the Ladles Aid Society of St James Church at Kitrell, and the other halt to the Thompson Orphanage of Charlotte. She leaves to her faithful maid servant Rose Kittrell, $100; to her cook, Cher He Bell, faithful for ten years $300; and to her man servant $100. These three being colored. There is a very "curious case in the Insane Hospital here, that of. a pa tient who has two wives. He married In the eastern paft of the State dur ing the Civil War, deserted and joined the Federal Army and married In Philadelphia. Doth wives are now liv ing and hia pension is divided equal ly between them. Of course he can not be tried, for bigamy as he has no mind at all. Perhaps it Is the only caso of the kind in the country. One quarter the pension bureau sends a warrant for $38 to the North Carolina wife and the next quarter the money goes to the Pennsylvania wife. Upon .making an inventory of its 3tock, the Raleigh dispensary finds It f.o be worth $4,800. There are as yet no arrangement made for the sale. The mineral and building stone de partment of the State Museum, is to be made extremely attractive, and the Installation la being made permanent With derricks the heavy stones are now being hoisted in place, some of them weighing at least 200 pounds and being beautifully polished columns, 8 feet high.

C, Jany 6. Mr. Geo. Lovlck's wife and his sister, with their several small children, had a narrow escape from, death or serious injury a few days ago. They were intending to make a journey in a farm cart It seems that tn shifting the cart, Mr. Lovlck got his wheels turned around the hind. part, before, and' never' dis covered the mistake. The women and children got in and started, but about a half mile on the road, a wheel ran off. ' This frightened the horse and he began to run and kick. All the women and children were thrown out, except one little girl, who clung on. In a few hundred yards the other wheel came off. Still the child held on for half a mile or more further, when she .was flung out but escaped unhurt, which was remarkable. The horse ran on for a couple of miles, when he became tangled up In the harness and shafts and had to stop. When released he had nearly choked to death.
