PROF. 1VEY MAY RESIGN
Has Written a Letter Explaining the
Canse of Suit
Prof. G. F. Ivey, of the A. and M.
College, near this city,1 has announced
his purpose to resign in few days.
He has written a letter in explanation
of his trouble:
"Several years ago I published a
book on weaving and since then, in
order to advertise it, 1 have been stal
ing out about two thousand circulars
per year. My father-in-law, Mr. A. L,
Sherrill, is a fourth-clas postmaster
at Sherrill's Ford, Catawba county,
and in order to help him 1 have, been
sending the circulars to "him to be
mailed. Part of these were sent by
mail and part by express. I had sup
posed this to be perfectly legitimate,
but the, postoffiee authorities claim
that if it is done with the intent, to
increase, the postmaster's salary, it is
illegal, and for this offence 1 was un
der indictment at the recent term of
Statesville court.. My attorney was
confident of acquittal, but rather than
have the trouble and publicity of a.
trial. I entered the plea, of "nollo con
tendre" and the indictment was dis
missed." The following is the statement of
District Attorney Holtou:
"Regarding the case of United
States vs. G. F. Ivey, I wish to state,
that although there was a technical
violation of the law, :after a carefi.l
examination of the evidence, 1 am con
vinced that the defendant was perfect
ly innocent of any intentional wrong,
and violated this law just as hundreds
of others are doing, through lack of
information. The drSlidaufc conceal
ed nothing and when .approached
frankly stated to the officers every
fact on which the prosecution was
based."
Mr. Holton's statement convicts him
of prosecuting a man perfectly inno
cent of any criminal intent to violate
the law, and of forcing that man to
enter the plea of "nollo contendre"
and of paying the costs of the prose
cution. This jdea. while not admitting
guilt, is to the effect, that the defen
dant while denying his guilt will not
contend further, and submits himself
to the judgment of the court. On th'.i
statement of Mr. llolton the indict
ment ought to have been nol prossed
and Mr. G. F. Ivey discharged as an
innocent man. For a prosecuting of
ficer to put an innocent man in the
position of a wilful violator of the
law, and then attempt by a "state
ment" to whitewash him is just a lit
tle steep. From Raleigh correspond

DESIRES TO 0RGANIZP A SCHOOL
Miss Bessie Lewis Whitaker Proposes
an Excellent Plan
Miss Ilessie Lewis Whitaker desires
to announce that she would be glad to
organize a school in Raleigh to. begin
May 1st, moo .suspend for one month
during midsummer and continue at
least until the opening of the regular
schools the following autumn.
Courses of study may be selected
from the following:
Primary work. All usual elemen
tary branches, including beginner's
courses in Latin and French.
Advanced English courses. 1
Coaching on English for schools and
colleges a specialty.'
Instruction will be given privately
or in classes "according to special
needs ami conditions. The length of
school hours may be made to suit each
case and be. determined by the pupils
or parents.
It is thought that this plan may till
a real need, because:
1. There are those who believe the
small private, school has a special ad
vantage in securing attention for the.
individual and in being the safest
place' for young children.
2. There is a tendency towards some
little regular study through the sum
mer in order to avoid stagnation and
demoralizing effects of the long vaca
tion. 3. Often a student wishes to com
plete some special study during the
holiday in order to advance with a
class or lighten the, next year's work.
4. There are persons who for some
reason might not-cure to "matriculate
in school or college and who yet would
enjoy "studying to some extent pri
vately. :
Miss Whitaker has the diploma from
St. Mary's, Raleigh, has taken the
senior pedagogical. course and a short
post-graduate course for teachers at
the State Normal College in Greens
loro and has the certificate as a grad
nate in English from the University
of North Carolina. She has testimo
nial letters from college presidents,
professors and others which she
would be glad to show to interested'
parties.
If further information is desired
please send written communication or
call at Exchange Hotel, 213 Hillsboro
street, between the hours of 10 and 1
in the morning or 3 and 5 p. m.
It is particularly desired that all
arrangements be made before. May 1st.
es there are persons who would
like to avail themselves of this oppor
tunity at a later date, a notification to
that effect, given at once, would be ap
preciated. CITY REPORT
The reports of the' city officials for
the year ending March 28. 1!M)0, are
all iii the hands of the printers now,
the lust copy having been turned over
yesterday. This is a great improve
ment over previous years for hereto
fore the report has apeared about i
year after date. . That the promptness
'this year is due largely to The Times
Visitor is admitted by all, for this
paper has published the names of the.
officials and committees repeatedly
who were behind with their reports.
Their promptness this year is most
commendable. The Christian Advo
cate Company has the contract for

. RALEIGH N, C, TUESDAY
AN UNFAVORABLE
WEEK FOR CROPS
Almost Complete Cessation
Farm Work
of
MANY RIVERS REACHED
HIGH FLOOD STAGES
Cattle Reported Drowned, Mill Dams
and Bridges Washed Away by
Freshet Third Weekly
Crop Bulletin.
The reports of crop correspondents
for the week ending Monday, April
23, 1000, were generally unfavorable,
and indicated very untownrd condi
tions and an almost complete cessa
tion of farm labors. While the week
opened fair and spring-like in the
eastern half of the State, anil some
progress was made in plowing and
planting during Monday and Tuesday,
elsewhere almost continuous and very
heavy rains occurred. In'the extreme
west the rainfall began Monday
Ofith): further east on Wednesday
(isth). since which dates almost noth
ing whatever could be done on ac
count of the continuous downpour
and soggv condition of the soil. The
rainfall 'for the week ranged from
1.32 inches at Wilmington to 7.51
inches at Marion. The rivers through
out, the State reached the tlooil
stages: milldams and bridges were
carried' away; lowlands were sub
merged and some cattle drowned,
many plowed fields with fertilizers
already spread were badly pushed or
ruined, and some damage was done to
crops already planted. The rains
ceased Saturday night (21st), but
several days of dry weather will b"
needed to restore the soil to a condi
tion fit for working. The only ad
vantageous feature of the weather
was the uniform excess in tempera
ture, which averaged 0 degrees above
the normal daily. The warmth and
motet tire- caused pronounced growth
in vegetation generally; seeTls al
ready planted sprouted rapidly: small
grains, grass, and clover nourished. .In
the extreme west, forest's commence !
to turn green.
... Farm vtvorlt in nniMi. generally over
two weeks later than the average.
While a few correspondents report
corn all planted, the'work is progress
ing very slowly over most counties.
Early planted corn is coming up -very
nicely. Preparations' for cotton have
been'miich delayed: a very small por
tion only of corn to be planted has
been put. in the ground anil none is re
ported up. Tobacco plants mail"
some growth and n. few have been
transplanted in the eastern portion of
the State. Wheat continues verv
promising and is growing fast. Win
ter oats are very poor and cannot
recover a normal condition even un
der most favorable .influences; spring
oats are coining up to good stands
Gardens though still late, are im
proving. Irish potatoes are thrifty.
Early cabbages are heading: ship
ments of vegetables have begun. Red
ding sweet potatoes, continues. V
large portion of the rice crop on the
lower Capo Fenr river has been plant
ed. An exceptionally 'large, fruit crop
is promised; apple trees are in full
bloom, and eaehes. plums, peaiv.
and cherries have set fruit well every
where. Strawberries are ripening
and a few shipments were made at
the end of the week.
THE MINSTRELS TONIGHT.
The Carolina Minstrels nke their
initial appearance at the Academy 'of
Music tonight and the performance
bids fair to be the superior of any
traveling minstrel to visit Raleigh in
the past few years. As an amateur
company it is fur superior to anything
of its class appearing in the South for
the reason that many of the members
of the company are exierienced min
strels and know how to give pure fun
to nn audience.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock the com
pany gave a parade on the principal
streets, the band furnishing martial
music of high standard.
The performance tonight will Ik
well worth the money anil it Is prob
able that the Academy will be packed
to. its utmost capacity. The bund is
wearing the new uniform which is
handsome as well as serviceable anil
makes the bund-js appearance what it
should be.
Raleigh has a. good organization,
and it is to lie hoped that the men
will receive proper encouragement to
night. '
ONLY i THREE CHURCHES.
The city has done paving in front of
nearly nil the churches in this city,
and as yet only three of these church

three which have done so are the

the Sacred Heart, Catholic, and the

THE PLAY LAST NIGHT
A Demand for its Repilition Heard on
all Hands
There is a demand for the repetition
of "A Mid-Summer N.ght's Dream"'
by the young women vf the Haptist
Female University, the demand com
ing from many who witnessed last,
night's performance and from others
who were unavoidably absent. Miss
Reynolds is receiving congratulations
on all hands and the young women
who took part in the presentation of
a Shakes)carean production are all
deserving of the greatest, credit.
The life of the show was chiefly in
three characters, to-wit.: Puck, a per
fect conception of Miss Eloise Eliza
beth McMiuii; Rottom. the Weaver,
a superb impersonation being render
ed by Miss .lane Lewis Moore; anil
Oberon, King of the Fairies, a clever
piece of dramatic work by a. talented
young Raleigh girl. Miss Claire Stain
back. Of course there were others
deserving of credit, the names of each
one on the program deserving special
mention, but these three characters
gave the color and life of Shakes
peare's great comedy to the popular
mind last night. The display oT
beauty and grace; the charming and
fascinating figures winding here and
there in the Hiirgomask Dance: the
hosts of Fairies fluttering about en
chanted spots; and the comical situa
tions brought about by mischievous
Puck added glitter to the scene, thus
giving u brilliant attractiveness from
which no eye could be turned.
Thus it was true:
"The actors are lit hand, and by their
show
Von shall know all lhat you are like
to know."
Seldom have such welcomes been
accorded amateur actors as those of
fered Miss McMinn and Miss Moore
on the occasion of their every ap
pearance on the stage last night. Mr.
Gruhler. - Dr. Delia Dixon and the
others in the long list of characters
easily won laurels by their splendid
interpretations of the parts intrusted
to them.
The scenery ami st'age setting were
elegant ami appropriate, the., costum
ing in keeping with a. thoroughly first
class professional presentation, the
dances evidence of most careful train
ing under excellent direction, the mu
sic of Meiidellsohn's interpretation
by Prof. Gruhler charming; withal a
difficult execution most excellently
produced.
The play last nignt was presented
by talent that, had never before grac
ed -the stage and the .perfection
reached is the greatest coniplimeut to
Miss' Sophie Reynolds' rare gifts.

That you have' but slumbered here
While these visions did appear;
And this weak and idle theme
No more yielding but a dream.
Gentles' do not reprehend.
If you pardon, we will mend,
Happiness on you befall.
So good-night unto'ytu all."

EXODUS OF NE
GROES CONTINUES
Fifty-Five Negro Men Left This
Morning
WORK IN BRICK
YARDS IN NEW YORK
Laborers aire Being Canffcd From Many
Points on the S. A. L. to the North,
ern States No More
Cooks Leaving.
The exodus of negroes from Raleigh
and vicinity continues and the largest
departure of the season was witnessed
this morning at the I'nioii Station
when fifty-five negro men from Ral
eigh left for New York via the Sen
board Air Line. They were all brick
makers or laborers in brick yards and
will continue the suiue work in New
York-. Forty of these men were sent
to Dutchess county and the other,
to Long Island.
The following are the names of the
negro men who left from here today:
Daniel Gill. Charles Justice. Junius
Gill. Alfred Hill. Isain Hays. Edward
Mitchell,' Allen Rauciim, J. W. Burba n.
William 'Rlnyloek. Henry Williams.

lack Rhodes and David Dunn.
The depot here was thronged b
friends and acquaintances of the men
leaving. Indeed the S. A. L. should
make some other'provision for the de
parture of such large crowds of ne
groes and not block up the I'nion Sta
tion as was I he case todav.
In addition to the negroes who left
Raleigh on the S. A. L. in a special
ear at 1 1 : 1 S todav. the same train
carried a party of about 20 from near
adesboro. Negroes have been leav
ing here in parties of ten and U dozen
but the shipment this morning was
the largest yet. The men are promis
ed work until ..oveinber at from $1.."iG
to a day.
No more cooks are being sent north
from Raleigh. Public sentiment was
so strong that the gentlemen at the
head of the affair here trave it up.
No one would object I the worst
class of negroes were curried off. but
this was not the. case when the cooks
were selected.
Farmers from many sections of this
county report that the negroes are
moving to the towns whenever they
find it possible and the scarcity of
farm labor may be a serious questio'i
this year. With the present prices of
farm products it is impossible for the
farmers to pay other than small
wages.
SULTAN MUST PAY
Constantinople, April 24. Porte lies
received telegrams from the Turkish
minister at Washington pointing out
the bad impression which has been
created in the. 1'nited States by the

Turkey, and announcing the leter

NAMES OF STREETS
Signs Badly Needed at the Intersections
of Streets
The names of the streets of Raleigh
should be posted on each street cor

but the names have all disappeared
a u d t h e re is a bso 1 u t e 1 y n o w uy n o w
for a stranger to tell what street he

who happens to know.
The names of the streets ought to
be posted nt a conspicuous place. Citv
Purchasing Agent T. P. Sale has re
ceived from a company, which has
been furnishing these signs to other
cities, a sample of their work and will
submit it to the board of aldermen
at the next meeting. The sample is
of enameled iron and will lust inde
finitely. They cost from IIS to 03 cents
each. Retwcen V(H and 2,000 or
these signs would be required. Two
a( pach intersection of the streets
would lie sufficient except on Fayette
ville. Hillsboro, Halifax and Newbern
Avenue, where a sign would be re
quired on each corner to designate
whether the intersecting street is east
or west, north on south.
The city may not see ifs way clear
to purchase suitable signs at this time
but it is a matter which is worthy of
careful consideration. .
