THE CURABLE INSANE,

A Proposition to Increase the Accom-
mOdations for that CIass..The Harm.
less, Incurable Insane to be Cared
for by the Ounties.
The executive committee of the board
of directors of the North Carolina Insane
Asylum met here yesterday.
Among the business transacted was
the issuing of orders to put some of the
crimin al insane to work.
1t is learned that the authorities of
the Insane Asylum have determined to
make room for some of the many cura-
bic cases in the State, by sending from
the Asylum to their respective counties,
such of the incurable cases as are per-
fectly harmless. Notices under the law
have been issued to the county author
tiles to remove the parties designated by
the board from the Asylum, but as yet
no action has been taken except by the
counties Of Johnson, Wilson, Halifax,
and Nash. This is a duty imposed
by the law on the board, and
the board feel that the crowded
condition of the institution with harm
less incurables, together with the large
number of curable cases now in the
jails and poor houses that can be profit
ably treated in the asylum, and the
greater number of dangerous cases in
this division of the State, demand the
enforcement of the law against tie
sheriffs and other county authorities
for failing to take away from the asy.
lum the harmless insane, that they
have been notified to come for, accord
ing to law.

The Rescue Wins the Race--And
Walks off With Two Prizes--First
and Second.
Ths much talked of contest between
the Rescue single horse hose wagon and
the Capital Hose company single horse
wagon came off yesterday afternoon at
the race grounds on New Berne avenue.
There was great interest in this contest
and at 6 80 o'clock, the hour announced
for the race the avenue was literally
tiroDged t with people, who were about
evenly divided in preference for the
companies.
The Rescue ran first, the gray horse
"Henry" and the "Old Hickory" wagon
being driven by Nanny Pennington.
This combination made a run of 331
yards, hitching the horse and showing
water all in IS seconds. When the time
was announced there was tremendous
| huzzal; for this time was marvellously
good, and the partisans of the Rescue
were dead sure that it could not be beat
| en-.
The Capital Hose followed. The gray
horse Edward" the beautiful wagon
"Margie Lily and Mrh. Ric. Pool being
their time making combination The com
pany made splendid run, but failed te
show water properly. Of course there
were several things which would explain
why they were defeated; but they los
the race, and that settled it. No time
was recorded for them.
This race was continuation of the
race held at the tournament here las
summer to decide "a mooted question
and the victory of the Rescue entities i
to both the first and second tQurnamen
prizes; its single wagon winning th'
first prize of $50, and its double wagol
winning the second prize Of $3.50
When the Rescue wagon returned t.
it's house from the avenue, it carried
banner with "Victory' painted on it
and was given a rousing ovation as i
passed down street.

Give Us Raud for Register OF Deeds.

Especial to STATE CHRONICLE
From the way the political sentiment
begins to get warmer, it seems that it is
time for voters to have voice in saying
who our nominees shall be. We are the
people and should be heard. In behalf
of large number of voters, take pleas
ure in nominating Mr.. W. FL. Rand, of
Panther Branch township, for Register
of Deeds. Mr.. Rand is Democrat
whose loyalty to the Democratic party
no good Democrat will doubt. He is
well and favorably known in Wake, and
is in every way well qualified to fill the
Office with credit to himself and the
party, and we believe if ''Bill'' Rand is
nominated the republicans will have to
retire. VOTERS, shall WE not say who
OUR nominees shall be.
Give US Rand and put as good Demo
Gratis in nomination all through the
ticket as he, and old Wake will have the
biggest victory in November she has
ever had.

Death of General Geo. w. Haywood

A telegram was received here yester
day announcing the death of Gen. Geo.
Washington Haywood, which occurred
on Saturday, May 18th, on his planta-
tion near Greensboro, Ala.
Gen. Haywood was the brother of the
late DR.. Fabius J. Haywood and of DR..
E. Burke Haywood, of this city. He
was in his eighty eighth year. He
graduated at the University of North
Carolina in 1921, and was at the time of
his death the oldest graduate of said
institution, we think. He passed most
of his life in Wake county, and no man
ever lived in the county more respected
and loved than he. He was very promi-
nent as a lawyer up to the opening of
the war. Since that time he has devoted
himself to farming.

There surely could not have been a
more lovely day than was Yesterday for
the holding of the exercises.
The Governors Guard marched under
the Union flag and also under the Gen

The maIshals, all of whom, except
two, were old Confederate soldiers,
marched behind the old Confederate flag.
While the procession was moving, a
number of views We're taken of it by
some artists by the ins antaneous pho

The contributions of flowers were
very liberal on the part of the people

looking and added largely to the i'm
posing nature of the procession.
The music by the Durham band was
generally voted as excellent. 1t was SC
good as to create favorable comment
That's good enough
Oakwood cemetery, as it appeared
yesterday,i is wondrously beautiful. There
