The Spreading Out of a Raleigh Indus
try.

Yesterday people passing by the office
Of the Southern Express company stop
ped to look at and admire the workman
ship and general beauty of three very
handsome express wagons which were
waiting for shipment to Richmond, Va,
for the use of the offices of the Southern
Express company there. They were
made at the coach and wagon factory
of Messrs. Evans and Martin in This
city, and the general verdict of the many
people who saw them was that no ve-
hicle manufacturing establishment in
this country could turn out more thor
oughIy complete or more handsome
wagons
| THIS is not the first order that Messrs.
Evans and Martin have filled for the
| Southern Express company. The wag-
! ons used at the Offices of the company at
| Norfolk, Suffolk aud other points we're
made by this firm When these three
last vehicles were delivered to the COM
pany here for Shipment, Mr.. " j. Cross
well, superintendent of the Atlantic
division, was so veryswell pleased with
them that he at once gave orders for
three more. This was not done because
the firm Of Evans and Martin is in any
degree favorite of the company. There
are no claims or favors either way, and
the Express company hands its orders
to this Raleigh firm simply and solely
because it returns the most finished and
best work for the mcst reasonable and
satisfactory prices. The firm could have
no better endorsement than the contin-
ual handing in Of orders from the same
corporation as customer.
All this goes to show that Raleigh is
leader in the manufacture Of wagons
as well as in other things; and also shows
that when good wook is wanted at the
most reasonable prices and terms, that
there il no need of stepping beyond the
, corporate limits of Raleigh to get it.
, Merssrs. Evans & Martin have already
: gained an enviable reputation for their
, work and that reputation Is rapidly
. spreading all over the Southern cc1n:ry

Cleveland and Hill Said to Have

New YORK, n. T., Dec. A special
to the Mail from Albany says that an
alliance has been made between Hill and
Cleveland. So far as it is known to the
public the only meeting between Hill
and Cleveland was at the Belmont
funeral but Colonel Dan Lamont has
had several conferences with the Gov
ernor lately, which would seem to indi
cate that something Of more than ordi

THE A. AND Nj. COLLEGE,.

Meeting Ofthe Trustees.-The Big Prob.
lem That Came Before Them---And
How They Dealt " it'll Ii.
The board Of trustees of the College
ol Agriculture and the Mehchanic Arts
met yesterday at the college building.
There were present Mr. ". S. Prim-
rose, chairman; Col. ". F. Green, Hon
Willis r. Williams, Col r. " Wharton DR..
". R. Capehart, W E Stevens, ESQ ;,
Col. j. S. Murrow, Hon. j F. Payne,
Hon A Leazar, Burwen Banton, ESQ.
Dr. c. D. Smith, Mr.. n. B. Broughton
and Mr.. H. E Fries.
The board met with pretty big a nd a
pretty knotty problem to deal with.
The college is virtually the creature of
the Agricultural department., in that the
fund on which the college was establish
ed and which has largely sustained it.
came through the agricultural depart
ment from the license tax of $500 on
each brand of fertilizer sold in the state
The fund accruing to the college from
this source approxlmated $4,000, aud
when the college was established this
income was regarded as permanent
But the decision of the O. S Supreme
court to the effect that this license tax
was unconstitutional deprives the col
lege Of that income, and Of course when
the board met it had oFdeal with the
question as to how the college could be
| conducted on its former scale with such
material reduction Of its income.
The college now has from the nationa
| government and other sources an income
approximating $40, 900, and this, unde
the provisions of the Hatch law, will b.
increased in few years; but it is esti
mated that $35 900 per annum is abso
lutely necessary to keep the colleg
equipped and going.
After some discussion the board az
| pointed from among themselves a com
miJtee, aud prescribed for 1T the duty 0
mem0rializing the Legislature to com
to The aid Of the college, and apprC
pirate from direct taxation an amoun
sufficient to keep the college up 10 IT,
necessary standard Of usefulness an
dignity. This, in the opinion Of tn
board, was the only method for them t
adopt, and they are determined to OF
} the matter before the General AssembI
IN ali its force.
After transacting some minor matter
t the board adjourned.
