MAY BE CAP T BELL Rumored that He May be Appointed Captain of Co. K. Our Boys at Savannah The fact now seems to be settled 'that the first North Carolina Regiment of volunteers at Savannah will leave for Cuba by December i'jth. The Third Regiment may start for Cuba before that date. The greatest interest Is felt in the captaincy of our Raleigh company, which wae .aade vacant by the resig nation of Capt. Crawford. First Lieu tenant Bevers It was generally expect ed and hoped would be appointed to this captaincy. As Second Lieutenant Z. P. Smith Is regimental commissary Lieutenant Beavers has had to stay in camp and to be always with his com pany since Captain Crawford resigned. He Is an excellent officer, very popular with his men. In spite of the fact that Lieut. Bea vers seems to be the choice of 'the men in the .company there Is a persistent rumor in the regiment and here that the Governor will appoint Capt. Bell, of Rutherfordton, captain in the late Second Regimen;, to the position of captain of Company K, in the First Regiment. What foundation there is for the rumor it is impossible to tell. Col. Armfleld has returned to Savan nah. Quartermaster Sergeant John Harrell, who is sick at his grandfather's, at Dunn, N. C, is improving. His father, Quartermaster Harrell, has returned to duty. Sergeant Harrell has been very low with typhoid fever. DEATH OF MRS. FAISON. This Lovely Lady Passes Away Sud- denly at Hickory. The sad intelligence reached here this morning of the death last night at Hickory Inn, Hickory, of Mrs. P. F. Faison, wife of the late Colonel Paul F. Faison, and youngest daughter of the late Hon. George E. Badger. Mrs. Faison had been in declining health for some time, and upon the ad vice of her physicians sought relief for a lung afflieiion in Western North Car olina. She left Raleigh accompanied by her maid and youngest son only a few days 'ago, and her friends felt en couraged to hope that her improve ment might soon be of a marked char acter. She became worse yesterday, however, and in response to telegrams, Mr. and Mrs. E. Chambers Smith left for her bedside In the afternoon, but reached Hickory after the end had come. The distressing news will be a great shock to a very wide family con nection by whom she was deeply loved, and to many friends. Mrs. Annie Haywood Faison was the youngest daughter of the late Hon. George E. Badger, and was born in Ral eigh in April, 1841. She was first mar ried to Col. W. S. Bryan in Raleigh in 1859. In 1S63 she was married to Col. Paul F. Faison. She was a lady of rare loveliness of person and character, de voted to her family, and beloved by a large circle of friends who deeply regret her untimely death. Her surviving children are Mrs. Louis Thorpe, of Granville county; Mrs. E. Chambers Smith, and Messrs. John Sherwood, Stanley, Duncan and Paul Faison. A STRONG REPERTOIRE COMPANY The Leonzo Bros, gave their initial performance at the Academy of Music last night, playing to a large audience ana giving general satisfaction. It is a repertoire organization, but the quality of the show excels that of many regu lar-priced performances. , "The bill last night was "The Dog Spy," a sensational-comedy drama. It is a strong play, and In the hands of this company is satisfactorily interpret ed. A feature a little out of the ordi nary was the intelligent performance of a part by a dog, "Handsome Harry," a large animal bearing a striking re semblance to a tiger. One scene in the play introduces this dog, which dashes across the stage, catches Mr. Harry Leonzo to the floor and holds him." The above clipping is from the Daily Register. Danville, Va., where the com pany last week played to the largest business ever done by a popular-price company. This attraaction begins a week's engagement at the Academy of Music Monday night. November 21st. and to introduce the merits of this ex cellent attraction ladies will be admit ted free if accompanied by a person with a paid 30-eent ticket, which must be purchased before' 7 p. m. on that date. This is done to prevent the usual crush and confusion at the box office. Reserved seats now on sale at V. H. King's. Secure them early and avoid standing. CHANGES IN THE SEABOARD. . Said That Mr. T. J. Anderson, the Gen.- eral Passenger Agent, is to Resign. The news in railroad circles is that there will be some big change in the Seaboard management about the first of the month. It is said that Mr. T. J. Anderson, the popular and enterprising general passenger agent of that system, will re sign and cast his lot with another well known Southern system. The intimation Is that Mr. Anderson will be succeeded by 'Mr.-L. S. Allen, the agent of the Seaboard at Wash ington, D. C. Mr, Allen was formerly Assistant general passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. w orate .b thee,mhafr mhafromhfrr BOOKER'S EXECUTION Governor Russell Today Au nounccd the Date, JANUARY EIGHTEENTH The Condemned Murderer Now in Jail Knows tho Day He Must Suffer the Penalty of r .ath. Governor Rjssell reutrned from Ashevllle early this morning but he had not been to the capitol up to two o'clock. However, this morning he fixed the date for the execution of the negro, Jim Booker, alias Jim Chavis, who was convicted of the murder of Mahaly White, colored, atMarch term of the Wake Superior Court and sentenced to be hanged. Mr. S. O. Ryan, Book er's attorney, appealed to the Supreme Court and that court affirmed the de cision of the Superior Court. Hence Booker will be hanged January ISth. No effort has been made to secure a commutation of Booker's sentence and he will certainly pay the penalty wi:h his life for one of the most brutal and )ld blooded murders ever committed in the county. Jailer King says Booker is one of the worst and most unruly prisoners i ja'il. He is apparently about 27 ears old, rather slender, coal black, nd has a dogged, cast-down despond ent air. Sheriff Page will have the hanging of Booker in charge. This will make the third duty of the kind Sheriff rage has performed. Geo. Mills and Orange Paige having been executed when he was sheriff before. No execution has taken place (luring Sheriff Jones' ad ministration. CAPT. CLARK IN CHARLOTTE. Captain David Clark of this city has moved to Charlotte to live where he has accepted a position in the Ada Miark cotton mills. Capt. Clark is a son of Justice Walter Clark, and his many friends regret his departure from Raleigh. He was the youngest captain in the Second N. C. Regiment of volun teers, having been appointed captain by Governor Russell in place of Cooper of the Murphy Company. A HANDSOME SILVER CUP. Is now being made for the Chamber f Commerce and Industry of Raleigh, as a token of appreciation of theCham ber, and of the citizens of Raleigh. At the conclusion of the debate, which will be held in the Academy of Music on Thanksgiving night. (Thursday. 24th inst.) between students of Trinity and Wakf Forest 'Colleges, on the subject of "Territorial Expansion," this cup will be presented, by W. N. Jones, President of the Chamber, to the win ners in the contest, and to be held by that college until the speakers from some other college, in a similar con test to be held in Raleigh, shall be come entitled to it. These college debates are, always in teresting and a crowded house will be prepared to applaud the winners in the contest. Trinity will send H. M. North, S. A. Stewart andjohn M. Flowers, who will oppose the expan sion theory. Wake Forest sends J. C. Owen, W. F. Fry and W. N. Johnson, who will favor it. A WISE SUGGESTION. The Charlotte Observer today says editorially: "Another act which the Legislature should pass is one requir ing that bank stock should be return ed for taxation by some officer of the institution, as is building and loan stock and that of other Incorporated companies. Left to be re:urred by its owners, much of it escapes taxation, while there Is nothing that can stand it any better. This need 3d legislation upon a fair object of fixation Uhich is not now bearing its share, should no: be forgotten when the General As sembly convenes." TELEGRAPHY AT THE ASYLUM. The Oxford Orphan Asylum will soon have a telegraph line from the office of the Western Union telegraph office in that city to the asylum and the children will soon begin to learn tel egraphy. Thqsc of the children who have learned telegraphy have turned out better than those who have learn ed any other trade and the directors have decided to start a school for the instruction of the children in this bran.ch of work. Durham Herald. CENTRAL M. E. CHURCH. Dr. Cobb, missionary from China, will preach in Central Methodist church tomorrow at 11 a. m. and address the Epworth League of the city at 4 p. m. Dr. Youn$X5i,Allen, forty years a mis sionary In China, and one of the ablest men in the Methodist church, will preach at night. Public invited to hear these noted men of God. ODD FELLOW'S ITEMS Odds and Ends That Got Caught on the fly. It is gratifying to know that all the orphan children at the home keep well. A letter received recently from Willie Woodward, an orphan, now at Chapel Hill, says "I certainly do like Chapel Hill." The General Secretary has recently been visiting the lodges as far west as Concord. This week he is on the Wil son Short Cut. About every three days we get a let ter asking if the Secretary must use a revenue stamp on his orders on the Treasurer. We are not so fortunate as to be holding down a revenue job. The Secretary of the Sulphur Springs lodge writes: "I am willing to do any thing 'that will advance the interests of the grandest order on earth. Our lodge Is growing very fast. It is that willingness to do that causes the lodge to grow. It is refreshing to hear those who have not attended ;he lodge for a year tell those who make up a quorum at each meeting how loosely things arc conducted. It is estimated that there are over si;: million members of secret societies, ia the United S.ates, and that they ".ive In charity over twenty-three mil lion dollars 'annually. "Love thy brother as thyself" looks well in nrint, and is much grander when fullly cairicd out, but to believe that it is half-way lived up to is a tremendous tax on one's imagina.ion. The Sovereign Grand Lodge has pro vided that the possession of an official certificate for dues paid to a date later than that when the same is presented, properly signed by the Secretary and Noble Grand of the Lodge, or the Scribe and Chief Patriarch of the En campment issuing same, with the seal properly 'attached, be and the same is hereby declared sufficient, proper and legal authority for any Noble Grand or Chief Patriarch, upon proper Identifi cation, to communicate to the holder thereof the current traveling pass word of the order. Many questions propounded to The Odd Fellow go into the waste basket, but here is one that we cannot refrain from trying to answer. We don't give the location of our sister, for fear of identification: "I am a Rebekah, and as your sister, and knowing that editors know every thing, I take the liberty of asking a question: I am thirty-five years old and will be married early in December. What march would you suggest when I enter ;ho church, leaning on the arm of r.iy soon-to-be husband? K." W are no musician, but as our sister is tui"ty-five, we are of the opinion that as she enters the church the or ganist could make no more appropriate selection than "This is the Way I Long Have Sought." Virginia Odd Fellow. GREENSBORO IRON COMPANY. Company Incorporated Today Capti tal Slc-k $185,000.
