Metropolitan hall.
There was the largest crowd of
spectators of the session watching the
proceedings of the legislature last
evening. The lobbies of the house
were so crowded that it became neces
sary to refuse admittance to outsiders.
The fight against the University has
died the death that has been expected
for it for some time. It is stated
that many legislators were elected on
the "anti-state aid" issue. If so,
what have their constituants gained?

In the superior court this morning
only one case was settled, a negro di

freed from her husband, Robert Ford,
and the court granted her request.
Henry Walterson, the distinguished
editor of the Louisville Journal says
of Polk Miller's entertainment, "it is
the best one man show in America."
He will appear at Metropolitan hall
triday evening for the benefit of the
Epworth League.
The doorkeeper in the house last
night, Ferrell, received orders to ad
mit no more people to the floor. In
carrying out the order he was rough
and insolent and finally became in-
volvd in a row with an indignant man,
who had been denied admission.. A
policeman was sent for but made no
arrests.
A negro man, known by several
names, who has been stealing num
bers of chickens for a month and
who, it is supposed, cleaned out
the house and yard of Wash Hawkins,
even stealing his push cart, was ar
rested by deputy sheriffs last night.
1 he negro was an awful sljj one and was
only caught after a chase at 10 o'clock
last night, on Capt. Burwell's farm.
There was a helter skelter runaway
down Fayetteville street last evening.
Dr. Scuggs was attending the man
whom the bale of cotton ran over and
his horse and buggy were standing by
the curb. Just then a policeman
passed with a drunken woman, scream

which ran away and smashed the bug

Colored Lobbyists and Advisers
This morning there arvived here
from Goldsboro a committee of colored
citizens who were sent here to urge
the passage of a bill to redis
trict Goldsboro and to "see what dem
dar preentires of ours am doin'." It
seems that the negroes, who are a
power in Wayne county politics, do
ot like the stand taken by their rep
resentatives. A crowd of negroes re
proving an intelligent white man is a
strange sight, but 'that is what hap
pened today. Several of the commit
tee ran on Maj; Grant in the house
today. After some talk the spokes
man said, "We thought you came here
to represent the people, Major, but it
don't look like you do it. You are
not broad enough we didn't think you
was such a narrow man." This went
on for some time. "The trouble with
yon people," said Maj. Grant,
"is that your mouths talk a great
deal and your brains not at all."
Then he walked away.

a number of wh im spoke for and
axainst the University and prol mged
the meeting till a late Lour. The best
speeches of the day were nude by
Major William A. Guthrie aud dis-
trict attorney Aye'jock. Major Guth
rie's speech was pronounced to be one
if the best that has ever been heard
hpre. It is regretted that lack of
space prohibits a summary.
The meeting was livened all through
by sharp ltttle questions, interrupt
ions and answers but there was noth
ing of a personal nature.
- Those who spoke against the ap
propriation were Dr. Columbo Dur
ham, Rev. Dr. Skinner and J. C. Cad.

Major W. A. Guthrie, W. J. Peele, C.

aud Kev Leak, i
In closing his speech Dr. Durham
made an unwarrented sling at Mr.
Josephus Daniels saying, "a man who
does not vote as be pleases, is no more
fit for citizenship than Josephus Dan
iels is to edit a newspaper." The
war is ended for two years, anyhow,
for the joint educational committee
has decided to let the appropriation
run. The vote was nearly unanimous.
"Durham is down, Winston on top."
Fell from a Wagon.
Yesterday afternoon Primus Hay
wood, a colored driver who for years
worked at Pool and Moring's, fell
from a wagon on which were loaded
five bales of cotton. In some way he
managed to fall under the wheels and
the wagon passed over him, hurting
him very badly, "though it is thought
not seriously. Dr. Scruggs was called
ana attended him. He was taken to

S. A. L. CUTS RATES.
They are Sweeping and Went Into Effect
' - Today. .
The long talked of "war" between
the Southern and Seaboard Air Line
systems is on. Active hostilities com
menced today and the Seaboard is
now on the offensive. The Southern
will in all probability "come back"
and perhaps go the Seaboard "one
better." Then the game will grow
interesting and the man who wants to
take a pleasure trip may do so very
cheaply.
The Seaboard Air Line "opened
thu pot" this rooming. Circulars
have been sent out all over the coun
try with the low rates, which go into
effect today. The reductions are
sweeping and range, mostly, one dol
lar lower than formerly. For in
stance the fare from Raleigh to Balti-
timore is $7.95 cents; it was about
$9. The biggest cut is on tickets be
tween Atlanta and Portsmouth which
now sell at the low rate of $8.
To give one an idea of the big cut
in this instance it may be stated that
the fare yesterday from here to At
lanta was over$13:00. Thissamerate
applies to all intermediate stations up
to the $8:00 mark. Therefore a man
can travel from Atlanta to Portsmouth
almost as cheaply as you can travel
there from Raleigh.
Tbe war" will be watched with
great interest and it is a question
as yet as to what action the Seuthexn
will take. A law recently passed
robs ticket "scalpers" of immense
profits they would have reaped from
the cat in rates. . ' '
MILLS' LAST DAYS-
He Will Probably Have 60 Days of Life
Left.
George Mills, the murderer of his
uiece, Iana Wimberly must die, says
the supreme court when they confirm
the decision of the lower court. The
opinion was handed down yesterday af
ternoon, too late for publication. The
Governor has not yet been notified by
the court of its decision and he will
not pro'oably receive notice for a
month. He must then sentence Mills,
and it is customary to give a convict
ed murderer 30 days of grace. So
George Mills will have about two
months left in which to "sit and
study," as Mrs. Wimberly says he
does.
If George has any bad thoughts
during his "studies," he does not show
the fact. He has retained the same
stolid, brutal indifference he has ever
displayed. - It is doubltful whether
orjnot George Mills can suffer, ment
ally. Not that he is an idiot, for he
has plainly shown himself to possess
plenty of sense, but because of his
life, rough, brutal and degrading. .
He must now surely dis the death
unless executive climencv is crant.
