THE MAGISTRATES MEET.
They Re-Elect the Old Board of
County Commissioners.
Today the annnal meeting of the
magistrates of Wake was held at the
court house. The attendance -was
very large. The old board of county
commissioners, W. C. Stronach, J. D.
Allen, W. H. Hood. W. H. H. Jones
nd R. II. Jones, was re-elected.
The magistrates unanimously adopt
ed a resolution endorsing Mr. W. C.
Stronach, chairman of the board of
commissioners, and denouncing the
unknown person who recently made a
most malicious anonymous attack
upon him. This action of the magis
trates will be appreciated by lovers of
fairness, not only here bnt all over
the state. Mr. Stronach continues as
chairman of the board; a position he
has filled with marked ability and
good judgment.
The magistrates aod county com
missioners met together and the tax
rate was fixed at the same figures as
heretofore, 20 1-3 cents. Schedules
B. and C. taxes are the same as before.
The county's credit is fine. Not an
order has been discounted in ten years.
The magistrates and commissioners
re-elected Mr. H. A. Chappell county
superintendent of public instruction.
There were about 110 magistrates
present. R. G. Dunn presided at
their meeting and Millard Mial was
secretary. W. C. Stronach presided
at the joint meeting and Mr. Mial was
secretary.
A New Potato Pest
Mr. Gerald McCarthy announces
that several complaints have reached
the station from Columbus county con
cerning the ravages of a hitherto un
noticed insect upon growing irish po
tatoes. Thousands of these bugs sud
denly appeared on potatoes, there be
ing an average of 3 or 5 to each plant.
They do not eat the leaves, but punct
ure the growing tip, causing the plant
to wither and soon die. Mr. McCarthy
says the insect is leptoglossus phyllo
pus, a true bug closely related to the
predaceous soldier, bug. The insect
has been considered beneficial because
it feeds upon thistles and occasionally
attacks the terrapin bug of the cab
bage. In Florida it attacks the or
ange; now that it has changed its diet
from thistles- to potatoes it is likely
to become a troublesome pest. As
this bug does not gnaw the foliage it
cannot be poisoned by arsenites, and
the only remedies, remarks Mr. Mc
Carthy, are the kerosene emulsion
and hand picking. Tbe latter will
prove upon the whole most satisfa- i jry .
To
Wilmington and the
Sea-
coast.
The Baptist tabernacle Sunday
school offers its friends the cheapest,
and at the same time one of the most
pleasant trips to Wilmington and the
seashore, tomorrow. It will run two
trains, one via the Seaboard Air Line
and one via the R. & D. railroad, and
will have the very best accommoda
tions each road can furnish. One of
the many pleasant features of this
trip is, that by making arrangements
with a friend, one can go via one route
and return by the other, by exchang
ing tickets at Wilmington. But this
arrangement must be made before
starting, so that parties who desire to
take advantage of this will know with
whom they are to make the exchange,
so that both will not purchase tickets
by the same route.
Tickets can be had at J. M. Brough
ton & Co's, John R.jTerrell's, Barbee &
Pope's and John Y. MacRae's drug
store. There will be no racing. .
The May Weather.
The mean temperature at the
weather station here was 70 degrees,
or 3 degrees above the average for
May during 8 years past. The high
est was 92 degrees, on the 17th, low
est 45, on the 21st; the greatest daily
range was 81 degrees, on the 2d. The
rainfall was 7.50 inches, which is 2
inches greater than the May average!
There were thunderstorms on 6 days.
The prevailing wind was from the
south. The greatest velocity was 30
miles an hour, from the, north, on the
2d. Rain fell 15 on days.

MR. WALTON BUSBEE DEAD,
Bright Raleigh Man Dies in
Baltimore
Last night a telegram was received
from Baltimore telling the sad news
of the death of Walton M. Busbee,
Esq. No particulars were then given
Mr. Busbe; was 43 years old, and a
son of the rate Quentin.itnsb- Esq.
Of handsome presence and of fine
mind, he was very popular here and
wherever known. For a number of
years he lived in Durham, practicing
law and a part of the time attending
to the difficult duties of clerk of the
court. January 9, 1893, he was ap
pointed a copyist in the department
of the interior by secretary Hoke
Smith and-, moved to Washington.
Three weeks ago, in Baltimore, he
married Miss Lelia Wall. The Balti
more Herald of today says: "It is
not known how long he had been in
this city. A week ago he called on
secretary Shriver, of the local Y. M.
C. A. here, and went to the working
men's residential club in company
with Shriver. Last Thursday night he
was again at the club, in company with
J. J. Williams, a railroad man. He
slept at the club on Friday night, but
did not show . up on Saturday. At
midnight on Saturday he was found
on the steps. . Whether he committed
suicide, or was addicted to the use of
opium and succumbed to it in his
weakened state, can only be surmised.
He was sent to the Central station in a
patrol wagon by patrolman Edrington,
Lieut. Rowe there saw that he was
suffering from something else than
the effects of drink. He had him ta
ken to the city hospital, and the phy
sician found he had taken some opi
ate. They worked on him all through
the night, but he died despite their
efforts. Coroner Hill did not deem
an inquest necessary."

The Children's Service
At the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning was highly at
tended and greatly enjoyed. Rev.
Eugene Daniel, the pastor, made an
excellent address. There was a ser
vice of song and also a responsive ser
vice in which the tearliers and pupils
took part.
The U. S. Circuit Court.
This court met this morning.
Judges Charles H. Simonton and A. S.
Seymour are on the bench. The mo
tion docket was taken up today. The
jury will be called tomorrow, tne
sixty jurors having been ordered to
report that day. The term will con
tinue only this week, owing to the
lack of funds. District attorney Ay
cock andassistant attorney Sol C.Weill
are present. Judge Simonton is from
Charleston and succeeds Hugh L.
Bond. It is his first visit here. Mrs.
Simonton is with him and they are at
the Yarboro house, having arrived
Saturday evening.
The Story of the Turtle.
Mention was made in the Visitor
and in other papers of the capture of
a soft-shelled turtle at Milburnie. Mr.
F. H. Busbee tells the Charlotte Ob
server: "Several years ago my uncle
brought from Georgia two soft-shell
turtles, as perhaps you term them. I put
them in a small pond made on a
branch in my little farm near Garner,
and prized them as the choicest pro
duct of the place. A freshet came; the
pond broke; the turtles disappeared.
It would hardly seem probable, yet
they must have gone down the brauch
to Swift creek, down the creek to the
river and up the river to Milburnie."
iThe Weather Crop Bulletin
The reports of correspondents indi
cate continued unfavorable weather.
The nights have been very cool and
frost occurred June 1st in the western
andj central districts. Although the
damage by frost has been slight, the
growth of crops has been checked and
some cotton killed. The rainfall was
badly distributed. There was plenty
of rain in the eastern district and a
few counties of the central; elsewhere
it is becoming very dry, especially in
the west. Some damage by hail was
again reported last week. The last
two days of last week were much
warmer, and the prospects are for
continued warm weather during the
nei week.
The State Board of Health.
The May bulletin of the N. C. board
of health was received today. It says
there was held at Greensboro a con
ference between Dr. Joseph J. Kin-
youn, of the U. S. marine Hospital
service, in regard to the quarantine
station at Southport. Wilmington hav
ing definitely declined to appropriate
the $5,000 upon which was conditioned
the appropriation by the state of $20,-
000 for the erection at Southport of a
quarantine station with all the modern
improvements, the unanimous passage
of the following motion was the im
mediate result of the conference:
"Moved that, in view of the inability
or unwillingness of the city of WiL
mington to contribute its part towards
carrying out the act of the last general
assembly providing for the erection of
a first-class quarantine station at
Southport, the secretary be instructed
to officially request the U. S. marine
hospital service to take charge of and
operate that station, and that the
secretary be authorized to explain this
action on the part of the board."
Dr. James'McKee makes the follow
ing report for Wake: Twenty-three
cases of measles, one of diphtheria
and one of scarlatina. Public build
ings in good condition.
The dockets -of the federal court,
which began today, are a little heavier
