Southern Extension of the r.. 6 S.

The Lie xington Dispatch contains
some able and pointed articles this
week on the Importance of the citi-
zens of that township voting for the
bonds on December 18th for the
Southern extension of the Roanoke
& Southern Railroad to thatplace. In
all editorial the editors speak
complimentary of Winston:
Look ut some of tie neighboring
towns-N inston for instance. The
farmers all say they can get better
price for what they have to sell in
that town, and why? Just simply
because Winston is on the kind of
boom we would probably enjoy if we
get the Roanoke & Southern. She
has a large population to consume
the farmers products, and the de-
mand for them is always great, and
the farmer can always find there a
good market for what he has to
SELL"

The SIM allest man In Asaerica.

We think we have the smallest man
in America residing here in Raleigh
in the person of James Lanier. He
is 81 years old, 3 feet 6 inches high,
weighs 42K pounds, is perfect in
form. sound in body, and enjoys
good health. He has sister living
in Burlington, N. c., who is a little
taller than himself. We think he and
his sister are smaller than Tom
Thumb and his wife, who travelled
over the world, and made fortune
at exhibiting themselves.-News and

One of the principal attractions

to assure them a large congregation.

Carolina Leads.

In looking over the State it is seen
that during the. year now so nearly
ended there has been good growth.
The towns have improved, many
factories have been built, and while
the extent of railway construction is
not as large as in the two years pre-
vious, yet it is quite respectable.
This State has not been afflicted
with "boom towns" and so there
have been no set-backs.

The negroes who, in prosperous
1890, sneered at the exodus, once SO
popular a movement, are now again
talking of it. The plan is for fami-
lies to go, and perhaps by March
there will be quite a movement
southwark again. The agents say
they will induce many to go in the
way above suggested. The usual
number of negroes who work in tur-

The residence of Judge Scheck, in

day night and an immense amount
of jewelry, money and other valua-

it was the work, evidently, of expe

are that it is the same set of bur-
glars that have been committing
depredations in this and other towns
in the State.

The successful arrival of the whale
back, Chas. Wetmore, at Liverpool, after
a trip from Duluth to that point, with a
full cargo of Dakota wheat, is an event
of more than passing interest to the state
at large. It means that direct transport
tation of the great product of North Da-
kota is an assured fact; that the famous
No. | hard wheat of the state will be
shipped direct to the great point of con-
sumption and thus avoid the mixing
process that every trans shipment means
Water transportation is cheaper than
rail and with grain going over the ocean
in bulk almost from the granaries where
first piled it NEAR better prices to the
producer. North Dakota is Interested in
this experiment in more ways than one
and it is a matter of congratulation that
the initial trip was successful.

IT will have been noticed that in the
weather and crop bulletins issued from
Washington there has been q great deal
of confusion between North and South
Dakota since the admission of these
states. This comes from the fact that
North Dakota has not yet established a
bureau of her own and the reports for
this state-incomplete and unreliable
are still being sent out from Huron,
South Dakota. This can and must be
remedied at once. North Dakota wants
to stand on her own record when it comes
to weather and crops. An article pub
lished in weather columns more clearly
and in detail sets forth the advantages
of a state weather service. Director
Fallon has issued a circular to the press,
believing that through this medium he
will succeed in gaining the cooperation
OF all counties which is needed to make
the service complete and reliable. The

HE hearing of the controversy be-
tween Secretary Edgerley, of the board
of railroad commissioners, and the state
auditor, relating to the amount of
salary Mr.. Edgerley is entitled under
the statute to draw, came of'before Judge
Winchester in chambers Friday morn
ing. Attorney General Spencer appeared
for the state and interposed a motion to
quash the proceedings on four different
grounds. The main point urged was
that the order issued by the court on the
afidavits of the plaintiff was not in due
form. Whether it was a simple order to
show cause or an alternative writ o fman-
damus was the contention. If the form
mer the attorney general claimed it went
too far, and if the latter that it did not
go far enough. After a full discussion
of the matter the court granted the
motion to quash and dismissed the pro-
ceeding. This is simply for the present
and is no bar to futher steps. The at
torneygeneral also claims that mandamus
will not lie in the matter, as the audit
ing Of the claim brings forth the exercise
of discretion in the auditor and hence,
under we'll known rules Of law, the writ
is improper. Mr.. Edgerley claims that

The recent conviction of Johnny Haas,
in Fargo, OF a violation of the state pro-
hibition law, caused some CONSERVATION
among the owners of alleged porcines in
that city. 1t now turns out, however,
that the conviction was desired by the
defendant, not so much for the pleasure
of making faces through the bars of Cass
county's bastile, as to test the prohibi-
tory law IN the part as to whether it was
not unconstitutional in that it is alleged
to embrace more than one subject in it's
pages. The recent decisions of the dis
trict courts of Deadwood and Sioux
Falls, S. D., where they have a law al
most identical with the one of this state
and whose constitution is practically
identical, to the effect that the statute is
null and void, is urged as authority for
the contention that the %rock-ribbed
enactment of North Dakota will not
bear the probe of the constitution. The
matter will come before the supreme
court at the October term and will excite
some interest among those who practice
at the bar-either of justice or red

because at some time or other in it's ex-

human manipulation, of doing some

The proprietors of the Grand Forks
Normanden complain that the Dakota
Fire & Marine Insurance company of
Mitchell, S. D., do not pay the loss as
adjusted on the plant OF that newspaper
some time ago. A draft payable As days
after sight was accepted, and when the
time for payment arrived the company
SLOWED it to go to protest, and the only
consolation the Grand Forks parties get
is a 'nicely worded letter." Editor Foss
thinks perhaps the insurance depart
ment may be called upon to investigate
the concern. It is a matter of history
in North Dakota that this company has
had several law suits and it has been
necessary, in one case at least, to fight
them clear through the supreme court
before they l%iquidated. The TRIBUNE
trusts, however, that this will not be
necessary in the Normanden case.

the city. It has all been killed by the
fumes. We often have in Montana a
dead calm for several weeks at a time, SO
that all the smoke from the shelters set
ties right over the city. The result is
that even the dogs and horses have
