sociation The Kaleigh branch of the
Southern was estalilished here over

aud more shares iu force than any
other Building aud Loan Association
doing business here. There never has
leu a single complaint of a borrower
or investor, but all speak a good word
for the Southern. Kaleigh citizens
show their appreciation and confidence
iu the Southern as an investing medi
um in the fact that they are the own
eis of more than 1,200 shares, repre
senting 120.000 v.orthof stock. (Over
135 members iu Kaleigh.)
The Southern is fortunate in having

us that he has rented the office iu
Jones & Powell's store, and will fit it
up and occupy it after February 15th.
.Mr. McDonald, in addition to thellal
eiyh ollic, has been offered and has
accepted the State Agency of the
Southern, ami will have supervision
over North Carolina. If we are to
judge from his sue. ess ig managing
the Kaleigh Branch, we predict for
him a line business iu the state. Mr.
McDonald, though, modestly says it
is the Association he represents that
is the drawing card.

Of today is the man who. succeeds, and the individual who waits for his neigh
bor to set the pace generally brings up the rear. It is pretty lively with us.
The LOW cash prioes we are making on all winter dress goods, flannels, la
dies' wraps, men's and boys' clothing, overcoats, etc., causes our worthy com
petitors to be seized with the mad spirit of imitation and drop in line in the
rear of the leader and take their respective medicines with much murmuring.
They are coming in droves and all go away happy with the greatest bargains
in snoeB, carpets, rugs, etc., ever seen in nuieigu.

It is learned that the moonshiner,
Harman, whsse capture was reported
a day or so ago, was once informer
against those who made "dew" with
out license. He went in the business,
himself; some one imposed on him and
he had to take a dose of his own medi
cine. Miss irferrirnon last evening enter
ta'ned a number of friends at a "George
Washington party." Questions were
asked about the "father of his coun
try," and the lady and gentleman an

LADIES UUi IN FOU'E
To Hear the Confederate Monu
ment Debate In the Senate.
At noon today the senate took op
the special order, the bill to appro
priate ilO.OOO from the direct tai
fuud as a loan to the ladies of the
monumental association with which to
complete the confederate monument.
, The Ldies were out In force. All
three of tha galleries and the lobbies
were crowded with them and their
pretty faces and the bright color
(lashing from their variegated dresses
lent a cjerfu! and pleasant effect to
the sombre walls of the chamber and
visably affect -d many a grave and
solemn senator.
First came senator Moody. Besides
being the most popular senator on
the Hoor, he is ever jovial and fill of
life and humor. He also, along with
his cherry manner, has the admirable
characteristic of being fond of woman
kind in general. But he has patriot
ism in plenty. His speech, as every
one knew it would be, was in favor of
granting the ladies' request. He
spoke for some time earnestly urging
the loan. His style is pointed, blount
and sometimes evenl uugrammatical,
but is nevertheless forceful and his
speeches always take well.
Senator Westmoreland then spoke.
He is a typical fnsiouist. "refawm"
and economy expressed in his appear
ance and in every word that comes
from his lips. He spoke against the
bill, of course, and said he wanted the
money given to the poor, school chil
dren. The ladies got out their note
l ooks and jotted down his name. His
speech was very, very, coldly received
by the spectators.
After the speech-making was over
those senators, those hard-hearted
senators, with the eager ladies
gazing at them intently, voted
to kill the bill by a vote of 28 to 8.
Many of them lacked the nerve to
vote and were excused. They give
nothing to the monument. But they
adjourn for Douglass.
MAYOR'STCOURT.
Two Cases-Not to Mention the Usual
Drunk.
Mayor Badger had several cases to
settle this morning. The , first that at
tracted his attention was that of Joe
McCommick, who was pulled for steal
ing a banjo from Ned Bryant. Music
had charms for Jo, but he didn't have
money enough to purchase an iustru
ment. So he appropriated that of his
more fortunate neighbor. He was
sent on to the March term of superior
court.
The next case was a "good'um " It
seems that Theo. Williams is in love
with the daughter of Seth Christmas.
All the parties are colored. Theo.
ca'led on his love last night, but at
10:15 o'clock her stern patermade him
depart. Christmas said that Theo.
had cursed him most vehemently;
Theo said it was Christmas who did the
cursing. Each showed a marked
familiarity with the art of "cussing"
though each said, "I never cuss
Mayor Badger put off the case to settle
the question of veracity.
The usual drunk got the usual pen
alty 12 hours.

DEAD P0R HOURS
liKlOkl: ni-.k 1'iODY WAS HOI)
liY A SHRVAXT.
Mrs. M:'.'-y r Speight, of an Il
lustrious Family, Dies Suddenly.
Mrs. Mary E. Speight is dead. The
announcement came this morning like
a thunder bolt from a clear sky, for
Mrs. Speight, while quite an old lady,
was thought by no one to be so near
death's door. Death cam with
awful suddenness aud claimed his
victim while she was alone ia her bed
chamber. No one, not even the ser
vant in the bouse, knew she was ill, so
speedily and quickly did death come.
This morning at about 6:30 o'clock
the servant girl, who had been em
ployed by Mrs. Speight, entered her
room according to her custom and was
much surprised to find Mrs. Speight
sitting up near the bed. The servant
spoke and received no answer; she
looked at the face of her mistress and
something in the expression of the
features struck terror to her heart;
she rushed to the neighbors crying
out that Mrs. Speight was dead. Sev
eral persons rushed to 'he house and
found that the girl's statement was
only too true. Mrs. Speight was dead.
Then Dr. Knox, the dead woman's
physician, was sent for. He made an
examination and discovered that she
had been dead for several hours, at
least, lie stated that in his opinion
Mrs. Speight died of some brain
trouble. He had only a few weeks
ago examination her heart and found
that organ in perfect health. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not yet
been made.
Mrs. Speight was an old lady of a
lovable disposition and had hosts of
friends who will be deeply pained to
hear of her sad death. She belonged
to an illustrious family, being a daugh
ter of the late Hon. John H. Bryant.
She had several relatives here. She
was a sister of Mrs. A. P. C. Bryant,
Mrs. John Winder and Mrs. Andrew
Symme. She was at. the time of her
death in her 70th year.
Mrs. Speight was a charter membei
of the ladies' memorial association
and always took a great deal of inter
est in that organization. She was a
vice-president from 1860, when tin
association was founded, to the dayi
her death.
The Monday evening club will hole
its regular meeting Monday night at
judge Montgomery's. The subject
for the evening will be "Humor."
Papers will be read by Messrs. D. E.
Asbury, and D. II. Hill. Readingt
and criticisms by Misses Knox,
Bates and Burkhead. Each member
will come provided with a spicy criti
cism.
Mr. W. E. Ardney, a hustling citi
zen of a hustling town, Charlotte,
arrived here this morning.
Mr. S. N. Betts, a Winstonian well
known, arrived here today. He is ai
