Memorial Library.
Inmates Sol
diers' Home.
Raliioh, March 8. Cast. E E Win
slow of the corps of engineers, TJ. 8. A.,
arrived here today from Wilmington to
confer with the Governor regarding the
monuments to Generals Mash and David-
son.
There are now 104 Inmates of the Sol
diers home here, and 120 oaths roll
This Is the limit which can be cared for
nnder the present annual appropria
tion.
Revenue officers say the number of
seizures of illicit distilleries has fallen
off considerably. They do not know
whether Illicit distilling Is on the de
crease or not. They know that moonshi
ners oontlnoe to move eastward.
Very few convicts have arrived at the
penitentiary this year. Three arrived
today from Columbus county. As soon
as spring opens, convicts will be pot on
all the railway work possible, as this is
the most remunerative. There was
never a greater demand for oonylcts
than at present. One county will get
about 60 of them for road building. .
The express people are endeavoring
to get a reduction of their tai rate la the
revenue bill. They were willing to pay
fa cent a mile bat the bill names 80. as
the rate.
State Superintendent, Joyner, Is In
high spirits at the prospect of the pas
sage of the excellent bill to allow the
1200,000 now in the State literary fond
to be lent to counties for building school
houses.
Up to this date 22 sheriffs have sealed
In fall their Stale taxes.
A full set of tbe North Carolina
Supreme Court reports,whlch was owned
by the late ex-judgs John Gray By nam,
of Oreensboro, has been placed In tbe
Supreme Court library as a memorial of
him.
No committee has been so harraased as
the joint one on appropriations. There
has been polling and healing at every
meeting. When some member would
ssy that an appropriation most be had
for some western institution, some east
ern member would Immediately get op
and say, well that's all right, butlfyoa
get It we mast have one for some of oor
eastern Institutions. And so It came
about that for session after session very
little was done.
Revenue officers made a raid at Mar-
garettavllle on some "blind tlgers"which
had for some time been doing business
both la North Carolina and Virginia.
They captured the entire outfit, two
white men and two negroes, and have
them In Jail.

DISTILLERY TOWNS.
North Carolina Will Overrun With Such
Incorporated places.
Balelgb, March 8. There la quite a
lot of talk abont the bills to Incorporate
distilleries as towns.
It Is claimed on the one hand by the
owners of the distlUeries that they are
old, established places, and not like the
ordinary stills which are moved here and
there,
On the other hand, people ridicule the
Idea, aad say It Is a funny sight, after
tbe passage of the Watts bill which
did not . give the else of "Incorporated
towns) to see thefleglslature chartering
distilleries.
A great many people think this fail
ure tolhsae minimum population of a
place which may be Incorporated is a de
feet la the Wstts bill A great deal of
lobbying Is being dose la the interest of
these distillery towns'. .
