Wednesday the State Legislature con
vened in Raleigh. The body is com
posed of Democrats, Populists and Re
publicans, It is useless to say that the
entire State, as woll as the whole
country, has been waiting nud watch
ing anxiously for the" convening ot this
body of law-makers, as there is to be a
United Htates Kenator elected. From
the present outlook it seems that every
thing lias been out and dried in favor
of 1'ritehard, since be took the oath of
lli to 1. At tho caucus held Tuesday
night three Republicans failed to stand
tip when a motion for a rising vote en
dorsing him was put, but it is said the
defection of these cannot defeat him.
Congressman Harry Kkinner said in an
"Twenty-seven Populist members
announced themselves in favor of
Witotiarjl nml Raid tllfiV would Vote fOT
him in the caucus. Seventeen will rote
for him, no matter what the caucus
iiirn.
It is said that Senator Butler does
not concede Fritohard's election and
-ilt mi.lfinlitmll v control the
Populist caucus. He is working hard
to keep a sufficient number of l'opuusts
to elect mm from bolting ine caucus.
The conference of Democrats ex
pressed their sentiments for. the sup
port of some good Populhit, probably
juoj. uumrie.
The latest concerning the Senatorial
. ncrarnhle is that Pritchard will un
doubtedly succeed himself.

Hearty pruise is given also to tho
work of' the institution for tho deaf

The compulsory education of blind

In the following tho Governor pro

His Excellency is proud of the report

The work of the Board of Agriculturt
is regarded as of "iuesthuable value.'
He commends its economy and appar
ently concurs in its recommendation
that the tonnage tax on fertilizers bt
