B. c. BeckWith for Chief Clerk OF the
House.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRON1CLE.D
AS the time for the Legislature to con
yene approaches, we naturally feel an
interest in the organization of the House,
for the general success and harmony of
the session depends largely upon the
choice and selection Of the Officer, ;.ud
clerks of the House.
There is no safer criterion to follow
than the sentiment of 40 intelligent pub
lie opinion at large. It seems to be a
foregone conclusion that Mr. B O..
Beckwith is the right man for the Chief
Clerkship of the House. II the party
owes anything for public service, and
we think it does, then surely it is large y
indebted to Mr.. Beckwith for the very
efficient work he did as Secretary of the
State Democratic Commi' tee.
He rendered most efficient service
when it was most needed, and there were
but few who could, and fewer who would
undertake the onerous work. He did
the work and did it we'll,
How could M Reckwith's friends ex
pect less of the party than to show theil
appreciation and gratitude for biz
services by e!ecting him to the Chic
Clerkshlp Of the House.
We do not make the claiJ. for Raleigl
or for Wake county, nor for any section
of North Carolina, but for the man wh'
is entitled t. the place.
A DEMOCRAT AND ALLIANCEMAN.

The Fayetteville Bank Failure Not SO
Bad as First Reported.
Especial to STATE CHRONICLE.

FAYETTEVILLE, N. O., Jan. 3, 1891
1t is stated to day, reliably, that the
Peoples bank failure will not turn out as
bad as was at first reported. Over ST, 600
has been paid in on ex-President
Moore's account, reducing same to less
than 100000 and much greater
amount will be realized on his collaterals
than was anticipated. We're you here
to-day you could not tell any trouble
had befallen our good old city and its
noble, big hearted people. The bank OF
Fayetteville, as solid as the rock of ages,
threw open its doors, doubled it's forces,
and everything is as busy as ever, not a
single depositor having withdrawn his
funds from the Bank of Fayetteville.
The three small failures were not caused
by the closing of the Peoples Bank, but
nuatural consequence in business life
II can safely BE- stated that the closing
of the Peoples Bank has not and will
not work any disaster to our business
men. Only little Inconvenience which
| has passed OF.

Incendiarism in Montgomery.
Especial to STATE CHRoNICLE.)

NOptCldl W OLA d ShnOtNANLH'J
CHARLOTTE, N. @, Jan. 5.-NeWs
reached here tonight of two bad fires in
Montgomery county. The store OF the
Sheriff, NJ. B. Lassiter, at Mt. Guilead,
was burned night before last, and at the
same time his extensive saw and plain
ing mills at Candor, ten miles away,
was burned. Everything was lost,
nothing was saved in the store, entire
stock Of goods being burned. There
was some insurance but not enough to
cover one-third Of the loss which Is
about ten thousand dollars.
J. NJ. Overton, sale~ man, was sleep
ing on the second floor Of the store
building when he was aroused by the
cracking of the flames and got out OF the
mass of flames in time TO save his life.
The fires are the work of an incen.
diary fend and this is the second OF
third time Mr.. Lassiter has been burned
out, since his second term as sheriff
expired four years ago. Montgomery
county is closely Democratic but, un
fortunately, had a Republican sheriff
until Lassiters election and it seems by
a strict enforcement of the law be ha
made enemies that were determined t.
crush him.

Railroad from Weldon to Wilson.

Mr.. w. z simpson. q prominent busi-

ly that that the people Of Wilson are an
xious to have railroad from this point
aud that meeting had been held and a
committee appointed to negotiate with
Mr.. John NJ Robinson Of the s. A. Line:
Mr.. Simpson said $50, 900 could be raised
in Wilson alone, and that such road
built through Ringwood, would be four
miles shorter than the Wilmington road.
It would run through fine country and
would do splendid carrying business,
the timber alone which would be opened
to market, being large item.
