THE ANNIVERSARY
Exercises Bevin- at Wike Forest College
This Afternoon.
Tbia morning a Dumber of Kaleigh
p- 'pie left here fur Wake Forest col
i - to attend the aunual anniversary
et r isea there. The exercises began
tii , afternoon.
At 2 o'clock this afiernoon in the
Wiugate memorial hall there was
held an inlet society bebate. The sub
ject of debate was "Ought the
House of .Maws to be Abolished." The
debates are generally of great interest
as the Wake Forest students take ex
ceptional interest in the literary so
cieties and this year there will be no
exception to the rule. A feature of
these debates is that there is no com
mittee to decide the question but the
audience makes its own decision.
At 8.30 o'clock this evening the an
nual orations will be delivered by two
selected speakers, one from theEuzelian
and the other from the Philomethesian
societies. The speakers of the occa
sion v. ill be Messrs. It. T. Daniel and
W. C. Newton. After tho speaking a
public social gathering is held in the
society halls and is one of the most
pleasant features of these anniversa
ries. Ainonf.: the Raleigh people who left
today to attend the exercises are Mrs.
T. II. Briggs, Mrs. John D. Briggs,
Miss Lizzie Briggs, Miss Mattie Face,
Mr. William West, register of deeds
Rogers, Miss Rogers, Miss Bessie Kel
vin and Mr, Oscar Riddick.

nessed in the house today. It was
the sight of a dignified and preten

strange sight to see one of these gen
tlemen at work at all. But when they
do they work with an air of superiority
that makes the average citizen want to
go through the floor.
GOVERNOR'S RECEP110X.
Given to the Schools and the Public An
Enjoyable Occasion.
Governor's Carr's receptions are
looked on as big r vial events and that
is why the citizens of Raleigh turned
out in such goodly numbers to the
mansion last evening. That the re
ception would be enjoyable they well
knew and that is why they went.
They were not disappointed. The
governor is particularly fortunate in
having the ability to make his recep
tions hospitable and informal. There
ia a charm of unconventionally about
them that carries people away yet
cannot be exactly defined. No one
has that straii'ed feeling that is so apt
to make receptions a bore and where
all are at ease they may be re
lied upon to enjoy themselves.
The reception last evening was
given particularly to the pupils of the
various schools and tbey were tkere in
numl.ers. The pupils of Peace insti
tute, St. Mary's and the A. and M.
college attended in a body. All of
th'm mixsid with each other
and with the numbers of citizens who
were present, combined to form a pic
ture of vivacious life such as is seldom
seen in Raleigh. A very enjoyable
feature of the evening's entertainment
was a musical program rendered by
the .fair pupils of Peace aud St.
Mary's.
Iu the large, liandaome parlor on the
left governor (,'arr, Mrs. William
Kearney Carr and Miss Mary Davis re
ceived the guests. The evening was
a particularly pleasant one to those
who attended, as all who went well
kne it would be.
A Card.
Editor EvE.vixo Visitor:
In reply to your " Ice house" article
of yesterday, permit me to say that it
was no fault of the local management
that the academy was not heated pro
perly Wednesday night. I had the
bui.'4 pipes repaired and had the
steam turned on duriiig the day and
every thing was O. K., but at night
the steam trap frozed up so we could
not get the steam in the building.
This was accident and no one deplored
the situation more than I did. I went
behind the stage and at my request
Mr. Young made a statement of the
cold house which I thought was satis
factory to all except your reporter.
I shall take the utmost precaution
hereafter to have the house properly
heated, but I would suggest that it
would be far better if your reporter
would take the troublo to find out the
facts before he makes and charges of
oversight. The company did not even
complain as they saw it was no fault
of mine. Yours truly,
ft. D. Meakes.

A Reply to a "Reply."
A communication from Prof. Meares
iu regard to the article about the
"She" performance, headed "at the Ice
house" is in this colum. Unfortunate
I was one of those who attended and 1
wrote feelingly. As to " Ice house,"
that was what the academy was gen
erally dubbed before the play; had
progressed Ave minutes. If the absence
of heat in the hall was caused by no
oversight of the local management it is
the more reprehensible. If the pipes
froze and Prof. Meares saw that ni
heat could be had he should have de
clared the performance off and refun
ded the money. Then, no one could
have blamed him. But to compel an
audience to endure such cold as pre
vailed in the academy is a reprehen
sible act and one that endangered the
lives of those present. I contend, and
I believe that every one p -esent will
stand wirlyne, that I had good grounds
for the remarks 1 made.
The Uel'okter.
BUTLER'S COMMISSION.
It Was Issued by the Governor this Morning-
This morning Marion Butler came
into the possession of an article that
it falls to the lot of few men to possess,
a senatorial commission, which en
titles him to sit in that illnstrous body
of statesmen.
He will remain here until the next
session of congress when he will leave
for Washington where he will sit
with his lately elected colleague,
Mr. Pritchard.
Mr. Butler's course in the senate
will be watched with the greatest in
terest by the people of North Caro
lina and the country. He is a
conspicious figure, not because he
will represent North Carolina in the
senate chamber, but because he is the
representative of the populist party,
as young in the politics of the nation
as is Mr. Butler himself. Though he
will be the youngest man in the sen
ate aud '.he youngest man who hax
sat in that body since the time of
Henry Clay, Mr. Butler has shown
that for executive ability and political
shrewdness he is entitled to rank with
l he first politicians of the country. If
his course in congress is as full of
earnest effort for principle as was his
course in the last campaign for office.
North Carolina will yet be proud of
hiin. The people's eyes are upon
liiin. They shall see.
The commission was issued
morning by governor t'arr.
