the services of Kuropatkin, who la con
sidered by many, in spite of hi serious
reverses, the 'best general and foremost
strategist of the Russian amy. Sink'
ing all feeling of personal bitterness be
cause of his supersession and 11 the
old-time enmity between himself and
General Linevitch in a .patriotic desire
to be of service to the fatherland the
former commander-in-chief volunteered
to remain in any capacity with the
army which he had so long commanded
The tender has been accepted by
Emperor Nicholas and gratefully re
ceived by the leader of the army.
The change exactly reverses- the old
order of affairs, when Kuropatkin was
the supreme leader and . Linevitch di.

Raleigh, March 22. Governor Glenn
recently offered a reward of S100 for
Tom Hunt, of Robeson county, charged
with burglary and assault ' with intent
to kill. Hunt broke into a -house and
nearly killed one of the inmates. The
Governor is now notified of his capture
and delivery to the sheriff- of , Robe
son. i.1'
- The Governor goes to nnehurst on
the 14th accompanied by his staff, up
on the special invitation of Mr. and
Mrs Leonard Tufts and will remain un
til the 17th. A A special reception and a
number of other functions will be given
in honor of the Governor. Several
ladies of his family will be7 in the party.
For several years it has been the habit
to give the Governor and his staff a
reception ia PineKurst, in the very
height of the season. ,
t It is learned that the sales of -ferti
lizer tax tags by the department of
agriculture this year are about what
they were two . years ago, showing a
falling off of about 20 per cent as com
pared with the great sales of last year
when the total reached the great figure
of $87,000, that of the year before hav
ing been about $80,000. -
: In an interview regarding the Ma
sonic Temple here Grand Secretary
Drewry of the Grand Lodge of Masons
said that all the money needed had been
pledged except about $10,000, but that
a number of the subscribers, particu
larly here in Raleigh were paying up
very slowly. He says work will not be
gin until there is ample funds to com'
plete the building. The site has been
bought and paid for in cash, $30,000
being the figure. Work is not to be
commenced on the building until $76,
000 is in hand as a $100,000 building is
to be erected. He says that at least
$26,000 more must be collected before
work begins, so that there "Will be no
chances of any failure or stoppage of
the work.
It is learned at the office of the reg
ister of deeds here, that farmers are
not giving so many mortgages br crop
liens as usual and this is regarded as
showing that they are able to hold their
own very well and at the same time to
hold their cotton.
