ANSWERS ITSELF.
The Christian Advocate's Vile
attack on Raleigh's Ladles.
The following extracts are taken
from the Christian Advocate criticizing
Kaleigh ladies for giving a bill for
tbe benefit of the Confederate monu-
meut. The article was .referred to iu
Saturday's Visitor : "We are not sur
prised since the cheek of this dancing
set has beeu exhibited so frequently
heretofore. For exhibitions of abomi
nable taste we will risk these devotees
of the V room against the world.
Not satisfied with .the desecration of
morals and manners, incident to work
oi their own responsibility, they seem
determined, like birds of prey, to fol
low every other enterprise and gratify
their lust for reveling at the expense
of every noble sentiment. It will be
enough to make the Confederate dead,
in whose honor this monument is
reared, tarn over in their graves !
"If these people will dance, let
them not dance in memory of the con
federate dead. Such a s'ene would
suggest a jubilee over the dead. It is
exceeding bad taste. Let the public
take notice that this whole business is
a catch. It is meant to have a big
time by drawing a heavy draft upon
public sentiment. Like the charity
ball, it is intended to take advantage
of the occasion nndet the pretext of
helping a good cause." Then follows
aclipiug: "We are opposed to balls
of all sorts: but most of all to the
"charity ball." It is a profane per
formance masquerading in the livery
of benevolence while working the ends
lasciviousness."
Nice stuff for a religious paper to
publish; especially against such good
and pure women are the managers of
the ball. The Visitor had intended
commenting on the article but, on re
flection, it is seen to display such a
lack,of taste and gentlemanly wording
and to show so much venom that it
carries with it its own condem
nation. Intelligent people every
where will readily see this. The
article needs ne comment.
THE FANCY BALL.
To be Held at the Yarboro Tues
day Evening.
The fancy ball for the benefit of the
confederate monument will be held at
the Yarboro house on Tuesday eve
ning, begining at 9 o'clock. The pa

F. J. Haywood, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

A Splendid Show.
: Hi Henry's minstrels will be at the
academy of music this evening. They
gave a spendid show, the Charlotte
News says : "The largest house since
Booth was here greeted Hi Henry's
minstrels last night. The building
was packed and the show was worthy
the house. The company presents
some unique things in mlnistrelsy and
is composed of artists fiom first to
last. The songs are good and the
muaio excellent. The good opinion
formed of the company on its southern
tour was strengthened in Charlotte
and oar people are cheerfully willing
to accord it the praise' of being the
best minstrel show that has ever
visited this city."

rington against Mr. W. H. Arrington,

mitted in Nash county.
The Leazer literary society of the
A. and M. college will on the 25th of
this month give an entertainment,
composed of debate, oratorical con
tests etc. These intertainments are
always interesting and should attract
a large crowd to the college. :
A runaway occurred on Martin

THE WEATHER.
The Conditions and the Fore
cast. For North Carolina: Showers to
day. Fair tonight and Tuesday.
Warmer, followed by cooler in north
west portion.
Local forecast for Raleigh and
vicinity: Rain. Clearing by Thurs

A storm of great intensity is cen
tral over northern Illinois. U is ac
companied by rain in the lake region
and in the Mississippi valley. On tbe
eastern and southern sides of the
storm high temperature prevails,
while in the northwest a cold wave is
following. The weather is cloudy and
threatening nearly everywhere east
of.the Mississippi. The storm will
probably move eastward across the
northern part of the country today
and tonight.
The Legislators Worried.
The legislature did not convene
until 3 o'clock this afternoon but the
legislators had plenty to think about.
The statement in yesterday's News
and Obseever about the expenses of
the legislature stirred them up
mightily. The committee rooms were
filled with politicians discussing how
to "fix" things. One of them was
over-heard to say : "This thing has
got to be fixed somehow. The expenses
must be cut down as low as they were
n 1893, but no lower." The legisla
tors are in a pretty bad fix. If they
don't cut down expenses the public
will condemn them; if they do the
News and Observer can say, "we made
you do it."
What he Had Always Wanted
to See.
A gentleman from Rockingham tells
a good story about a colored man who
ne from that place to Raleigh in
search of a job from the legislature.
He saw the negro the other night and
asked him how he was getting along.
Well Boss," said he, "I didn't get
no job and I lost !?20 by the trip but
I'm glad I eame. I have seen what 1
always wanted to see." "What is
that," asked the gentleman. "A white
man workiug under a nigger," said
the darkey. He spoke of one of
Abe" Middleton's white assistants
