Capt S. B. Alexander was in the oty yesterday for the first time with. in a week, having been confined to his home, near town, by an attack of sickness. He was seen at the Cen tral Hotel by a News reporter, and asked about the reports that are now being circulated by the press that he would not oppose Senator Ran som. Capt Alexander said that he had been misrepresented in an "in terview" with a Charlotte reporter, Just before he left for Mississippi he was accosted by the reporter and asked about his position in the sena torial race. He said to the reporter "Of course, if the Legislature is op posed to Ransom, the field is open to everybody." "That," said Capt Alexander, b all I said, and is all the alleged interview was based upon. The reporter afterwards apologized to me." -oive me," said ihe news re porter to Capt Alexander, "a state ment that will defint your position, for the benefit oi your friends throughout the State." 1 "Well," replied Capt Alexander, "if the Legislature nominates me, I will accept If my lnends want to maritan Hospital; list of managers of I press my name for theSenatorship; St Peter's Home and Hospital; ves- they can use it for that purpose. -THE WsonDruzCo.

The disabled Comederate soldiers will remember that Saturday, De cember sad. is the day appointed to hold meetings in each county to ap point delegates to the Pensioners' Convention, which convenes in Ral eigh on the sad of January, 18H9. The time has arrived when the ser vices of these disabled soldiers, and the claims of the widows and orphans of those who died in the service of their State, should be recognized. Referring to this matter, the New bern Journal says: There has been much talk about establishing soldiers' homes, camps, etc, but that is not the thing heeded. A large majority of these disabled soldiers have friends, many of them families, whom they cannot and would not leave to go to a soldiers' home. Their lot is a hard one, but hard as it is they will not leave their humble homes and children to go to a palace. They nave ties that Und them stronger than the glittering hospitalities of the provided "home," and it would be unjust and, cruel to them to wy, "You must go to the home or look out tor yourselves." , ( 1 ne oenerai Assembly lour years ago appropriated $30,000 per annum to be distributed to this unfortunate class of our citizens, and H gives then; a little more than eight dollars per capita.
