Lint credit for, and ab've all things
he known where to bny cheap books?
And strange to any, that's one of the
few things he didn't learn ogtof books.
Somebody had t tell him. We told
several book worms not only about
cheap books, but about writing paper,
ink, pens and a few specialties, such
as visiting cards and Easter cards.
The address of the place is
alfred Williams & co.
That's no news to you perhaps a

A BASEBALL CARNIVAL.
THE ATTRACTIONS FOR THIS
WEEK ARE "GREAT,"
University va. I jifaj cttc, Wake
Forest vn. llnltiiuore, Raleigh
vs. I iil las.
The university team will appear in
Raleigh tomorrow for the first time
this season in its game with Lafayette
college. Tie team is as follows; Old
ham, e., Stephens; p.. Bailey, 1st b.,
Gregory, 21 b., Slocorab, 3d b., Stan
leys. ., McAlister, l.f., Graham B , e.
f., Graham W. r. f.
Stevens is in fine form; he has
speed, good curves and and head
word and a tehee bases excellently,
Oldham is probably the best catcher
on the southern college diamond; it is
an exceptional base runner that can
steal a base on nim.
The old men on the team are Old
ham, Stephens, Gregory, and Stanly.
Bailey and Graham E. were substi
tutes last year. Stanley, the univer
sity's phenominal short stop, bats and
rnns bases in his same old style, and
covers more ground on the field than
any other ball player in this part of
the country. The whole team bats
well on an average, and plays quickly.
Raleigh may be assured of a good
game on Tuesday. The Visitor is un
able to give the names of the Lafay
ette players. Last year at Greensboro
these two teams played two exceeding
ly close games. Lafayette won the
first, 2 to 1, and the U. N. C. the sec
ond, 7 to 5.
On Wednesday Wake Forest and
Baltimore meet here at Athletic prk.
Neither team needs any comment;
Baltimore's standing, as winner of
the national league pennant stands for
her reputation. And Raleigh people
well know that when the Wake Forest
boys play ball they are in it to the
death. Baltimore will win but not as
easily as some may think.
This week of attractions in baseball
will close on Saturday with a game
btween Raleigh and Dallas, (Tex.)
And the baseball crank who still has
the price of admission or a private
hole, after the excitemeut of tomor
row and Wednesday, will be in his
glory.
COTTON MEN COM INW.
Prominent Men aud S. A. L. Ofli
cials Touring the South.
Tonight a special train leaves Ports
mouth and, coming over the Seaboard
Air Line road, will reach here some
time tomorrow morning. The train
carries, besides vice president St.
John and other prominent Seaboard
officials, a number ef prominent north
ern cotton men who are making a tour
of the south over the S. A. L. system.
Their purpose in coming is to ex
amine the water power of the south
and the advantages it has 'for manu
facturing purposes.
The gentlemen were given a royal re
ception while in Norfolk. They will
stopover here for a day and will be
met by a committee from the chamber
of commerce and of Raleigh's business
men. They will be escorted over the
city and given a hearty welcome
while here.
. The coming of these committees ar
gues well for the south's prosperity.
It shows that northern capitalists are
fixing their eyes on the south and the
committees sent down are merely
"feelers" before investment. And on
this committee there is no Col. Teamo.
The following are representatives
of New England cotton mills:
Mr. Henry Howe, of the Pacific Pep
perellell and Laconis mills, Mr. How
ard Stockton, of the Merrimao mills,
Mr. Thomas Motley, of the Chicopee
and Saratoga, and many other mills.
Mr. T. Jefferson Coolidge, of the
Amoskeag mills, and late Democratic
minister to France, Mr. Arthur
Amory, of the Jackson and Nashau
mills, and Mr. C. W. Amory, of the
Amory mills, Mr, Henry B. Coxe,
representing the greatest Lehigh val
ley, Pa., ooal company, la also of the
party. All are guests of the S. A. L.

M0NTF0HI) McUKKHEE DEAD.
An Old and Prominent Citizen is
Gone.
At 9 o'clock last evening Mr. Mont
ford McGefhee, one of R:ileigh's otd
est, most prominent and most respect
ed citizens, passed away at his home
at the Park place. His death was not
unexpected for for many years he had
been in rapidly failing health. No
arrangements have as yet. been made
for the funeral, which will take place
here sometime tomorrow.
He leaves behind him three sons,
Messrs Lucius, George B. and William
JIcGeehee, all well known and popular
here. His wife preceded him to the
grave by several years.
There was no old gentleman, for he
was 73 years old, more universally
respe.-ted than Mr. McGehee. Several
years ago he was quite prominent,
politically. He was not a native of
Raleigh having come here from Per
son county, where he was a large
farmer, about 12 years ago. For four
or five terms he represented his county
in the legislature, and was the first
commissioner of agriculture, preced
ing commissioner Robinson.

business. Orders have been drawn
upon these commissioners for all

succeeded by "Alfred the Williams
Co.," publishers, booksellers, and
stationers, which is incorporated this
day. ; '
At the undertaking establishment of
Mr. John W. Brown a $500 aluminum

We have a full supply of quick
silver, furniture polish and bed bug
poison which you will need for spring
