There was a rumor current to-day
that there was a plan on the part of
the newly appointed directors of Ihe
hospitals for the insane to tske posses
sion by force. The whole business now
goes into the courts. The Republicans
are attempting to ridicule the Demo
cratic contention that the act "grah
hint" the hosDitals Is unconstitutional.
R. P. Reinhardt, who. as stated three
waolcn im takes charge of the convict
farm near Wadesboro. is here. He
says he is utterly unselfish, and while
he has a nice piece of pie himself, would
like to see the other faithful get some
also. To his mind, of course, tne raun

ers. He says Senator McCaskey. the

The contention of the oprtonents of
nr.vemnr Russell in his tight against
the lease of the North Carolina Rail
road is that the State has no greater
rights and privileges and powers man
the private stockholders; tnat it is ex
actly on a parity with them.
People who return from Washington
say the North Carolina Republicans
are strictly in the push for offices; that
no people are more forward in asking
for the good things to be given away.
Dr. George W. Blacknall. so well
known the State over as a hotel man.
humorist and manufacturer of "colo
nels," is to have charge of the Atlantic
Hotel, at Morehead City, next season.

the late Dr. Charles E. Johnson, died

son. Mr. Charles K. Johnson. Her age
was 79,and she was a most gracious and

husband was an eminent phvpician. and
was surgeon-general of the State ilur
ing part of the war.

John Groves, a young .vhite man. is
to be tried here next month fur the
murder of Henry Wall, colored.
George W. Waring, of Columbia. S.
C has the contract for building the

The clerks of the Senate and House

than in 1895.
Among to-day's arrivals are Solicitor
W. E. Daniel. James A. Lockhart and
W. E. Lyon. The latter is a gold-miner.
He says there is greater interest in

SPRING DAYS AND WHEELS GO TOGETHER,
The suit of the season is new, and is not the unreliable suit
you had so much trouble with last year.
The new knickers fit rather snugly, and have short box
cloth cuffs which button just below the knee. These suits
must be made of the loud, yet pretty Scotch cloths which are
so popular now in business suitings. Our line of golf-cycle
suits are noted for perfection of style and exclusiveness of
fabric pattern, They are well-made, honest suits that do not
betray signs of cheapness, although they cost no more than
the trashy suits the average clothier offers. A good wheel suit
is cheap, a cheap wheel suit is extravaeant. Our prices range
from $4.50 to 7.50.
