Columbia. At the closing of the Graded School, there will be presented another of those delightful cantatas, with which the teach ers and pupils so well entertained the public last year. Columbia is the title, and it promises to be even better than its predecessors, Washington and the May Festival. The Dramatis Personnaeare Uncle Sam, Indian Chief, Mound Builder, Norseman, Negro, Chinaman, Aztec, Irishman and Spaniard; their diverse costumes making their personalities easy to be distinguished. Besides these, there will be a troop of minor charac ters, including representatives of the army and navy, bulwarks of Colum bia's liberty. There will be songs, reci tations and charming tableaux, the whole forming a pleasant evening's entertain ment, instructive alike to performer and spectator. If the plan to put a statue to Vance, in the rotunda at Washington, is carried out, it is intended to devote the proceeds to that; if not they will be given to the State monument fund. The 8ettler Convention. The Settlers' Convention at Souihern Pines yesterday was a disappointment so far as northern visitors were con cerned. We venture to say that there were not half a dozen Northeners (outside of the few winter visitors remain ing) there, and a prominent editor told us that he bad interviewed all of them, and but two were thinkirrg of investing meney in the South. But it was a success so far as the Settlers' were concerned, for there were prominent men delegates from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Geor gia, Alabama and Florida. The Convention was called to order at 11 o'clock, with Mr. G. Z. French as per manent chairman. A committee on the order of business was appointed, and during its absence ex-Senator Patrick Walsh, of Georgia, made a speech in behalf of the Southern States Exposition at Chicago. Governor Carr made a brief speech of welcome to the settlers and to the North ern visitors and touched briefly ou North Carolina's resources and advantages. At the afternoon session the representa tives chosen by the several State delega tions made fifteen minute speeches. Mr. A. H. Slocomb, of this city, spoke for North Carolina, and made undoubtedly the best speech of the occasion. That may seem a strong statement, when it is re membered that so many prominent men spoke, but it was so pronounced by nearly all present. Southern Pines itself is not especially an attractive place, not half so attractive as many places in Cumberland. Pinehurst, six rriles away though, is going to be a beautiful place, but then an enormous sum of money has already been spent by its proprietor, Mr. Tufts, of soda water foun tain fame. The place has been described so often in these columns that it is not necessary to go into details, but we can not refrain from mentioning the immense orchards through which the eleetric rail road from Southern Pines to Pinehurst runs. It is worth the trip alone to see the beautifully trimmed peach and pear trees stretching away as far as the eye can see, already loaded with fruit. The following is a list of the Fayette ville people who went up on the C. F. & Y. V. special yesterday morning : W. S. Cook, S. C. Rankin. A. E. Ran kin, R. McMillan, Alex. Sessoms, W. L Holt, G. A.

The 16 votes referred to in the third paragraph of the third column, as received by Mr. John son at the second primary, were all the yotes case. Again: Mr. Johnson, in reply to Capt. McNeill's charge that he has been a Re publican, states that he has voted the Democratic ticket all his life except once for Cleveland and for Shaw, these lapsos being after Capt. McNeill, the party lead er, had voted for Scurlock, the negro Re publican nominee. Will Not Catch Dust. GREY COVERT MOHAIR Makes the best up-to-date Suit for Wheel women nothing better.
