IN A MUDDLE
Companies Claims for Places in
State Guard.
TWO IN RALEIGH
Amalgamation of the Companies Here
Found Impossible Two May
Continue.
Adjutant General ltoystor was asked,
while in the city yesterday, what would
be done as to the conflicting claims of
companies of the Stale Guard at Asne
ville, hut said he really could not tell
what would be done. It appears that
I three companies are involved there, and
u like litimlR-r at Charlotte, lie declin
ed to say what would lo the result at
Charlotte, but did say that the iites
tion between the two companies at Ka
leigh was giving him trouble.
It will be remembered that there was
a company raised here last wtiintci' w hile
Company K was in Cuba. It was In the
Third Regiment. Then Company K. of
the First Regiment of Volunteers, re
organized as Company K of the First
Regiment of the Guard.
This gave Raleigh two military com
panies. It was thought those might
amalgamate, but that is hopeless. Then
the question came up whether the coin
panics could not lioth Ik; retained one
in one regiment and one In the other.
It appears that tho Adjutnut General
favored this, while Major Charles 1.
Davis opposed. But the latter Is now
gone, being in Porto Rico, and the two
companies may stand, but the "volun
teers'' are always given the preference
From present indication It seems 1h.il
the company organized last winter will
remain Company B of the Third Ri l-i
nient while the old Governor's Gu.-nd
will continue Company K, of the First
Regiment.
Of course, inalgainatioii was not n
sihle since to accomplish that Compan
K would have to disband and be re
cruited into Company B, and thereby
lose ils officers.
Company K has secured the armory
for the year, but they could allow Com
pany B to also share it if they saw lit.
The coininis-sioiicd officers of "Compa
ny K, w hich served in Cuba, are Cap
tain William I!. Beavers and Second
Lieutenant Claude Broughton. Tile
successor of Col. Z. P. Smith as First
Lieutenant has not been elected.
Last Monday night (.'apt. .los. J. Ber
nard was elected captain of Company
B. John Williams and Presley Medlin
arc respectively First and Second Lieu
tenants. Thus it seems assured Hint Raleigh
will have I wo military companies. There
has uol-beeu two Raleigli while compa
nies hero at the same lime Tierore since
the civil war.
GREAT MINDS FOR EXPANSION.
The Raleigh (luisl inn Advocate of
this week says:
"Bishop W. W. Duncan, who preached
at Trinity College last week, is in favor
of expansion. Most all the great minds
of our country think that way, and they
believe it is the providence of God that
true Christianity should lie planted in
these remote parts of the earth, here
tofore debarred that privilege."
llt. MOORE WRITES.
IM A. M. Moore of Durham, writes
I he editor of the Times-Visitor:
"Will you please state through your
columns that the Ir. Moore referred to
in your issue of the lL'th as lwing an ap
plicant for position in colored school for
blind in Raleigh was not Dr. A. SI.
Moore, of Durham, N. C. As I have
no idea of ever changing my present lo
cution." COLLISION

SOUTHERN IMPROVES SERVICE.

tween New York and Atlanta.
The Southern Railway's "Washington
nr4J Southwestern IJimted," between
New Y'ork and New Orleans, is well
known among the famous modern limit
ed trains of this country, and the
Southern has made another attractive
addition to this service by putttlng on a

Statosvillc. is the tirst Republican of

CANDID ADMISSION.
Durham Actually Admits That Raleigh
is the More Progressive.
The Durham Herald of this morning
says editorially: "The people of Ra
leigh Monday voted a $100,000 bond Is
sue for street improvements, and with
the number of good streets that city
Jias already, this should give her
good if not better streets than any town
in the State. Durham, in her own esti
mation, is a more progressive town than
ltaleigh, but less than a year ago the
people of this town defeated a bond is
sue for street improvements. Durham
has a few citizens who are really pro
gressive, but taken as a whole, judging
from results, Itrtleigh has the best ot
us.''
