Mr. Editor: Mr. Ray says some kind things of me in your issue of yesterday evon'ng, and I1 am most appreciative, especially as it is well known that we are political enemies. But Mr. Ray is mistaken If he supposed that I am to determine the time he is to hold on to his present position. I would nut presume to make any ruggestions along this line. Let the board of county commissioners settle the question of office and if I am for- unate enough to be selected I shall en deavor to obey their instructions in ev ery respect.

Governor "Russell was today Informed as to the facts regarding the claim of the United States against North Caro lina. In 1SS6, 58,000 of bonds of the Western North Carolina Railroad were bought by the Indian Trust Fund as an investment, with Indian funds. The State, after the civil war, ceased to pay the interest, and the bonds were then transferred to the United States gov ernment, which assumed 'the debt and pays interest on the $58,000. These bonds are in two batches. In one are 740 -coupons of 30 each, and In the other batch 1,938 coupons, making total in terest deu $80,340, the grand total being $138,340, which the government now holds agains the State. The Comptrol ler of the Treasurp gives an opinion that he -has the right to credit any State claims on this debt, and that all allowances by the War Department will be credited on it. The Governor is In formed uhat it will be necessary to se cure the passage of a relief bill by Con gress, ordering the War Department to make payment of the war claims with out regard to the old debt above al luded to. The fact is further ascer tained that while the State Auditor has, as stated, issued warrants, for $23,000 of war claims, none of these warrants have been paid. Governor Russell decides not to go to Washington tomorrow, because of Mrs. Russell's sickness. i BAZAAR. St. Mary's School Guild Opens Their .'"' - Bazaar.

PISTOL AND HAULIER USED Possibly Fatal Encounter Between Two Negroes Today HENSON SHOT TWICE Jack Yarboro Shot Jiat Henson Twice nor Jim Mailed lack In the Mead With a Claw Hammer Both in Hospital. Mayor A. M. Powell today assumed his duties as Mayor of the city of Ral eigh. Ex-Mayor Russ was busy this morning cleaning out his desk and turning over various papers to his suc cessor when suddenly Mayor Powell was called upon to issue his first war rant. About noon today John Yarboro, com monly called "Jack," a negro black smith of this city, staggered into the Mayor's office, crying "Oh, Lord, some body save me; he's "knocked my brains out." Jack had an ugly hole in his forehead, just above his right eye, and the wound was bleeding profusely. His forehead was bathed in cold water, a carriage was summoned and he was taken by Officer Walters to the hospi tal. However, before he was carritl out he was questioned about the affair, but was too much excited to give any In telligent account of the matter. He did not know struck him, but it was a fel low in John Day's blacksmith shop. Jack claimed that nhe negro had as saulted him with a hammer and struck him in the head. Jack said that he then shot at him three times but did not know whether he struck him or not. The negro who delivered the blow was an cx-penitentiary convict, he alleged, and had stolen a pair of overalls from him. After Jack Yarboro was carried to the hospital a reporter visited John Day's blacksmith shop on South Blount strent where the tragedy occurred. Jim Henson was standing quietly talking to an officer as if nothing extraordinary had happened, yet two pistols balls were then in his body. A carriage was summoned and he was -carried to the police station, then sent to the hospi tal. Jack Yaiboro had been working in a shop adjoining that of John Day, where Jim Henson was employed. However, yesterday Jack went to work at Green's shop further up Blount street. It seems that Jack Yarboro went to John Day's shop this morning and found that Jim Henson was wearing some overalls which Mr. R. C. McOlvin had left with Jack. They had some dispute ahnnt the overalls and Jack lef:. Jack re turned shortly before noon and what transpired then was thus told by an eye-witness. Jack came up to the shop and stood In the doorway and Henson was stand ing by the anvil Inside the shop about four feet from the door. Yarboro asked Henson what about that wood. Henson asked what he meant, and Yarboro re torted, "I said you got some of mv wood, a woman saw you, and hailed you. ' Henson said this was not true. You are a liar and a penitentiary convict," said Yarboro. Henson re sented this charge and said, "Go out of here now." J I won't," said Yarboro, "I'll kil you here," whereupon he drew a pistol from his right hand pocket and opened fire on Henson, who was less than 'ten feet away. Jack had fired three times when Henson seised a claw hammer and hurled It at Yarboro Inflicting an ugly wound in the forehead and knocking him down Two of the three shots fired by Yar boro took effect, one entering Henson's right thight near the stomach and the other piercing bis right leg about eight inches above the knee. Both are now in the hospital Their wounds are not considered fatal, but Yarboro majr be Injured more seriously than now appears. Hanson's injuries are doubtless only flesh wounds. Although Yarboro did not Beem to be drunk yet he had been drinking. Yar boro bears a good character previous to this affair. . UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT Mr Schlosg Sells Oat In terest in Academy MR. RIVERS OWNER. Mr. B. C. Rivers Has Become Preprietoe of Both the Academy of Mnsle an Metropolitan Opera Bouse. Today Mr. S. A. Schloss, of Wilming ton, who has been proprietor of the Academy of Music until today, is in the city. This morning Mr. Schloss and Mr. R. C. Rivers, after a consultation reached an agreement whereby Mr. Schloss sold out his proprietorship of the Academy of Music to Mr. R. C. Rivers, proprietor of the Metropolitan. Mr. R. C. Rivers is now proprietor o both the Academy of Music and the Mct-opolitan. Mr. Rivers purchased the "bookings" of Mr. Schloss and his entire interest. Thi people of Raleigh congratulate Mr. Rivers and feel sure that with one hall onjy open here and first-class at- tiac- ions booked that it will prove profitable and pleasant to Mr. Rivers and the theatre-going public. Mr. Rivers is an energetic manager. and will make it a success. Some of the fine-:t attractions coming South will be witnessed at the Academy this season. THERE ARE OTHERS. Mr. Editor: I see in your issue of yesterday a "card" signed C. B. Ray, the present Superintendent of our County Home, endorsing Mr. Allen for 'the position as soon as our new Board of County Commissioners take charge. Now there is nothing against Mr. Allen, he is competent, capable, honest, and makes a model Superintendent, but Mr. Allen held the position for a great many years, and the writer, with hun dreds of others, think that a new man should be put in charge of that Insti tution. Old Wake is certainly getting in a bad fix, if she can't furnish new men to fill the various positions to be given out by the Democratic party, without call ing in the aid "stagers," who have been sucking the county teat for years and years. Patriotism for one's party is a great virtue, but patriotism expects and cer tainly deserves some reward. The party patriot who has to have a life time place at the pie counter to keep 'the fire of patriotism aglow and for his "influence," should stand aside and see how new men can run the busi ness. Now, Mr. Editor, the writer is not af ter any political job, never has held one and does not want one, but there are others who do want one, and who de serve one, but the prospects are, after looking over 'the slate, that they will hive to wait the passing of the "old patriots" before they get a bite. E.- A. ADAMS. WHAT THE WEATHER MAN SAYS. The Weather Bureau predicts for Ralaigh and vicinity: Rain tonight and Sunday.

We are sorry that Capital Lodge thought best to move back to old quar ters, but may be best for Capital Lodge. The Trustees of the Orphan Home held a pleasant and interesting session at the Home on Wednesday last. It was a great pleasure to the Trus tees to find everybody well and every thing in nice shape at the Orphan Home. We are pleased to note that Nannie McDonald and Frank Evans have both found good homes. Frank is in Ashe vllle and Nannie is in Wilmington. They are both bright and worthy chil dren. "We asked a brother recenty why he did not attend his Lodge oftener, and he said "because I do not see anything to interest me when I do attend." We asked him how much interest he car ried along with him for others to see, and he couldn't discover that he car ried any. Which was to blame? If every member will bring one more beside himself 'to the next meeting it will make a big difference in your at tendance, and you can if you will. We hear members talk despondingly be cause others do not attend, hut who have never invited one to attend. Do you think people will visit you without being invited? Try the invitation plan and see if i-; does not work well." The command of our law is to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan. Ev ery initiated Odd Fellow knows this, and we are forcibly reminded to repeat the oft quoted Scripture, "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." Bit: hnw can we be happy neg lecting to do them? The officers of Rockingham Lodge have determined to secure a better at tendance on the part of their members If possible. They have issued a circular which they are sending out to their non-attendants reminding- 'them that their presence is very much desired upon sufficient reasons; one of which Is that the Lodge needs their counsel and vote in passing upon matters of importance, and another is that the ab senter owes it to himself as well as 'to the other brethren that he should give his presence and attention to the pro motion of the Order's interest. Both reasons are good, and either one ought to be sufficient to bring back at least a few of the "wandering sheep." How many of our lodges are making any sort of effort in this direction? Take care of the new member. He has just entered upon a new life. He may have been acquainted with many In the lodge, even with all of them, yet he is still a stranger. Care for him, assist him, nurture him and he may be made a useful working member. We do not mean by 'this that he must be pushed into office, or that he should be appointed on every committee, and caressed and dandled as we would a "first-born," but that he should be treated with ail courtesy and kindness, and caused to feel that he is an integral par; of the lodge. Give him work, give him encouragement, if he is diffident, anleli dpofortes.il uco.vewill mfwypmm and help him along in every proper way. By this means he may be made a useful member.
