crease. Rauiod, Marco 29. Governor Ay-
cock today made requisition on the Got-
eroor of Wyoming for Javan Long,
wanted In Jackson county for the mur
der of E. F. Pell last October.
He venae officers made a raid last nlgbt
from here, and at Pocomoke, this county
seized two illicit distilleries, both of
which had been In operation yester
day.
It is qulto positively asserted that
while there will be almost certainly a
senatorial primary, yet the first one will
not result in a oholce, and a second
will be necessary. It la said that one
candidate mast. get a clear majority
over all the others, and that the chances
are 99 to 1 this will not resnlt.
The Soldiers' Home today received as
a gift from J. Van Llndley, of Pomona,
a number of ornamental streets, flow
ers and trees. Auditor Dixon of the
trustees expresses their thanks for this
klndnoss. The gardener, an Inmate of
Uio homo named Davis, is now at work
completing tho adornment of the
grounds.
A citizens moeting was held .'ast night
in connection with a session of the
board of aldermen, the subjoct consider
ed being a new hotel. Complaint as to
Raleigh's hotel accommodations are
miny and grave, as was frankly stated
at the meeting. The latter appointed a
committee of 150 prominent men, with
J. S. Wynne, as chairman, to go -actively
into this matter of a modern hotel.
Raleigh iij-ipe for It. If there Is not a
new hotel conventions will not be held
here.

ably make "bids" for the Temple loca
tion -Kile!gli. Charlotte, Greensboro
and Durham being In this race. The
committee of the Grand Lodge meets
here Tuesday.
Preparations for a very large acreage
of tobacco In the central and eastern
parts of this State are now active. West
of the Blue Ridge more tobacco will be
planted lli&n In many years.
A Menace to Vesaela.
The fiction of the mysterious load
stone mountain which drew the nulls
out of ships that approached near
enough has a certain foundation In
fact, aayB the Steele, only tho fact has
Buffered by expansion. On the coast of
Norway, near Jccdern, there Is a aand
dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile
in length. The sand la mixed with par
ticles of loadstone, and when a ship
comes In the vicinity the compass be
comes irregular, and the vessel is en
tangled In a kind of whirlpool and
thrown ashore.
Lavoisier Death.
Without the contrasted patience of
moral and physical pain there are men
of high, intellect for whom the latter
baa no terrors. The chemist Lavoisier
,wns summoned during the reign of
terror In France to his death. Be
calmly requested a few days In order
to see the result of some experiments
.which to bad in progress In vain. This
" great philosopher of bis day fell an Im
mediate martyr to the political necessi
ties of the ruthless tyrant Robespierre.
Twtia Bears.
Turtle eggs are an acquired taste
with most people, although they are
hot so with bears. They hare rough,
yellow yolk and a white like any other
egg, but rod can cook them for a year
and the white pert will remain liquid.
Notice a curious dimple la the aide of
each one. U yon squeexe it oat, the
dimple appeals) on the other aide, and
yon can never get bold of a turtle egg
Which hasn't got a dimple la It .

Surgery is no longer necessary to cure

The Growth of Seanreed. .
. Seaweeds vary surprisingly In their
habits of life.- Some species grow .al
together beneath the water, attaching
themselves beloW the lowest tide level,
other frequent heights where they are
left dry at every, retreating tide, while
others Jet are - found in situations
Where they are scarcely ever covered
by water. Whereas most of them at
tach themselves to rocks or solid bot
tom, keeping to the shallows, there are
exceptions to the rule, among which
the most remarkable is the sargasso
or gulf weed, which floats on the
surface of the ocean. Immense fields
of It are seen by the navigator, extend
ing as far as the eye can reach. . It is
sometimes so abundant aa seriously to
Interfere with tbe progress of ships,
and It was this which so alarmed the
crew of Columbus on his first voyage
of discovery.
