tu.- crowded galleries applauding en
thusiastically the senators must hare
been inspired, for they sent the bill
through with a perfect whirlwind of
rotes, i he opposition was not in the
bunt it all and was even weaker than
yesterday. So the matter now rests
with the house. Will they pass the
bill and euaiile the association to com
plete the monument and have it un

The house has much more to make
amends for than the senate aud ia
no better way could they put them
selves right in tbe eyes of the patrio.

The ladies will have obtained from
the legislature, if the bill passes, no
more thau they deserve. They have
worked zealously and earnestly to

They should tfet the money j and they'll

her way.

Barn Railroad Ties and Greatly
Delay Trains.
This moruiug the S. A. L. train
tiiat should have reached here at noon
was greatly delayed. Telegrams were
received stating that the cause of
the delay was the burning of the big
Pee Dee bridge, over the Pee Dee
river, on the Carolina Central rail
road. It was stated in the telegrams
that the cause of the lire was burning
woods aud that "OCX) feet of bridge
was burned." This was manifestly
a mistake as the entire bridge w as not
over 400 feet long aud both sides are
built completely of iron. The portion
of the bridge yet wood is situated on
an island, barren of timber, in the
middle of the river.
Tje facts about the matter are
thfie : When the bridge was recently
rebuilt the timbers that were replaced
by irouwere thrown near the track on
each side the bridge; there was an
immense pile of this timber aud it
caught lire from burning woods. There
was so much of it that it could not be
removed. The Seaboard Air-Line
train was delayed, not beiug able to

MARCH DOINGS;
FOR TODAY IS IN MARCH, NOT IN
FEBRUARY.
Bear This in Mind and Look tcr
News Here.
The ear wheel works bad a b;g
casting yesterday. Forty odd wheels
were moulded at one time.
Not even the 13 hour drunk broke
the sereuity of the mayor's court. It
was worse than tbe 2nd of January.
Don't miss the concert at the acade
my of music to night. It will be the
first musical treat of the season.
Today was another good one for
cotton merchants. The receipts were
heavy, the farmers bringing in come
175 bales.
There is no doubt but that today
is the first of March. If any on has
any doubts think first of bills, then
of the w'iuds.
Another stone went np on the mon
ument today. It was lifted np and
set on the monument by the derrick
as easily and quietly as a mothii puts
down her babe.
Col. T. S. Kenan lat evening enter
tained at a supper the members of the
supreme court, ex-judges McRae and
Shepherd of the old court and several
members of the legal profession.
The superior court dragged along
gain today and succeeded in accom
plishing next to nothing. The case of
Louisa Smith vs. Fannie Christmas
went at last to a jury. That was all.
The Stewarts- .were -awarded the
printing, as was generally supposed,
n the senate today. Thetswas sharp
rgument how.Vfr and. sojne mighty
strong language used before the
resolution passed the senate.
The big derrick to be used in hoist-
ug stone iuto position on the monu
ment has been placed stsaddle the
monument.. Now there wijj'be much
less delay in work, as getting the der
rick in position was a dost difficult
job."
Last evening there was a meeting
held here of the state fair directors.
Col. Julian S. Carr presided. Matters
financial were talked over until quite
a late hour. The state fair associa
tion is $4,000 in debt. Col. Carr has
eipended of his own means $2,500 on
the fair.
This morning streetcar number '-4"
became unmanageable while descend
ing the steep grade on Davie street.
It rushed down the hill at a terrific
rate and the motorman and conductor,
the brakes having broken, became
ratVed and forgot to reverse the
motor. The car struck the curve at
the corner of Davie and McDowell and
kept straight on, jumping the track.
No passengers were on board and no
one was hurt.
We can tell a lie. However there exists no need oftfabrication in describing

The HopulM Alwm Get the Worst f
Them The Co-Operative Ikurd Feature.
Tbe populist caucus derided that
the co-operative board feature must
be placed iu the county government
bill, for it had become known that for
so in M uuknown reason it had been
omitted from that bill as presented by
senator Cook, after futionists had
agreed on it. So the feature was re
stored to the bill.
Marion Butler made a spirited ad
dress to tbe caucus. He said that if
tbe populists thought they owed any
thing to the republican party because
of his election t the senate, he want
ed them to say so and he would resign
his seat, as his ambition was no high
er than the success of his party. He
said this because there were intima
tions that co-operation was at hi be
hest ; that tbe populists had potten
into trouble and put the Maine on him.
It was this which so deeply stirred
Butler, whose speech was the great
event of the caucus. Other speakers
urged that no more joint cam-uses be
held with the repubhcius. Quite a
uumber of populists have for some
time bet-n holding off from these joint
caucuses. The caucus also discussed
tbe new criminal court bill and decid
ed that there was a republican job in
it. The caucus decided that nothing
further was to be gained by the pop
ulists by any more joint caucuses; that
wheueer the latter are held they aid
only the republicans.

MONUMENT STATUES.
Heroic Figures in Bronze How They Wil
be Placed.
Yes'.erday afternoon the west side
f capitol square was crowded with
people who had come to get a peep at
the new bronze statuos for the monu
ment that were unpacked yesterday
forenoon. One can appreciate the
beauty of a statue Jand the care
that has been expended in its making
much much better when close upon it
than when only a general effect is re-
eived from the pedestal. .The Con
federate monument statues are excel
lent. They ware made in Munich and
only recently arrived in the country.
Their color is a beautiful light bronze
and they perfectly represent the char
acters they were intended to.-
There are three figures, two of
which are to be placed on the sides of
the monument and the other which is
to surmount the shaft.
The first tworeof natural size while
the third, which will be placed at
tli top, is of heroic size. The two
smaller flgurers represent confed
erate soldiers Just iu the act of draw
ing his sword; the other is an aitil-
leryinan with gun swb just half
raised. The big figure is that of a
onfederate private infantrayman
standing at ease and restiug upon his
gun. ' .
The monument is to be built and
it will be a credit to the state. Now
let tbe legislature hustle through the
bill to appropriate $10,000 for com
pleting it and all will be well.
Boy's Foot Crushed.
Several small boys have been mak
ing a practice of hanging around the
gates at the union depot and boarding
the trains as they pass out. They
ride a short distance and jump off. It
is a dangerous practice and yesterday
a negro boy was badly hurt. He may
be congratulated for escaping death.
As the west bound southern train left
the depot yesterday afternoon a fif
teen year old colored boy, John Mad
ison, boarded the train. The train
gave a lunch and he was thrown under
a wheel and his foot crushed. He
savs he has no home, no people. The
foot must be amputated.
