MIssAPPRoFRIATfoN OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

MISREPRESENTATION OF PUBLIC FUNDS.
New YORK, Aug. 24.-The supervising
architect has ordered the suspension of all
payments in the case of the new post"thce
building in Kansas City. A bad state of
things IS been developed there. AT the
last session of congress $40, 900 was appro-
priated for the mpletion Of the approaches
to the building. fer a clock and fer sewer
connections. On the strength of this appro-
priation the citizens subscribed SIS, 900 for
a fine clock bell, which was to enable the
resi- Tents ol the city ami vicinity. within a
radius of six miles, to keep the time and set
their watches by, but months passed by and
there were no signs of clock. This led to
an inquiry, aud the inquiry led to disagree
able revelations. 1t appears that Supervis.
ing Architect Bell has snent the whole
$50, 900, and that only Sl400 of that sum
has gone for any of the objects embraced i'll
the appropriation, This sum was paid for
an iron fence. The sum of SIS, 900 was paid
for heavy marble wainscotins within the
postoifice for which there is no warrant i'll
the appropriation. The result is that the
accounts are suspended, and Mr.. Bell finds
himself charged with an illegal and improper
expenditure of public funds.

the Warehouse. More than that no
one could dO--more than that no one
could reaso 1ably ask.
The firm is preparing to very con-
siderably increase their warehouse
facilities. An extension Of fifty feet
is being built to the warehouse. SO
that its total dimensions will be 1S0x
70 feet. That looks as ifbasiness
was prosperous.
The business Of the Warehouse has
been excellent thus far. There is an
immense amount Of tobacco yet to
come in from the counties tributary
to Raleigh, and we do not hesitate to
say to each and every farmer that il
they believe il to their interest to giv'
| I. Norman Jones & 90. a trial, that
they will find them as square dealing
and prompt paying warehousemel
as can be found in the entire tobacc'
region.

THE CENTRAL HOTEL.

At the corner Of Wilmington and

the business portion Of Raleigh, We
find, rs hundreds and thousands be

is a plain, unassuming and yet at
tractive structure, three story brick

purposes, and IL certainly Is vel

the best people Of Raleigh, and is the
abiding place Of out.oftown visitors
who wish not only central place
but one where hotel comforts can b.
enjoyed at q comparatively small ex
pense.
The landlord Of the Central is Capt
T. G. Williams-the house itself wa.
built by Hon. d. NJ. Barringer. In
April, 1883, Capt. Williams was in
dueed TO assume the management o.
the house. At that time il had two
regular boarders and almost no "trav-
ling" or transient patronage. Now
IL numbers ITS guests by the score
and as we have said, among then
are some Of Raleigh's best citizens

IN making returns, and we know of
no one in Raleigh who can or will
