RALEIGH, June 19.-Dr. W. c. Murphy
who recently returned from brief visit
to Asheville, gives me such tantalizing
statement of the weather of the noun
tains as to make me feel by contrast the
extent of the heat here. 1t is hot, but in
truth l have individually suffered very
little. But everybody else pufIs and
pants and fans in the vain attempt to
keep cool. Hundreds are running away
to the sea coast, few to the mountains
Morchead is crowded should think be
yond the capacity of comfort. But Tai
mage is there and there are thousands
who would willingly suffer to say they
had heard such celebrity.
II should Come Here.
DR.. Murphy was greatly pleased with his
experience at Asheville, andis encouraged
in hopes that the Bureau Of Sanitation
will be fixed at Asheyille. That will de-
pend upon the liberal interest taken in il
by the citizens OF the city. 1t will he of
conpicious advantage to Asheville il she
secured il. 1t will be emphatic enuncia-
tion of the fact that Asheville is recog-
nizcd on scientific basis as the centre of
sanitary investigation and authority
and will draw to it, as the focus of know
ledge the interest of the scientific physi
clans all over the country. That it has
already been so recognized as such focus
by the leading physicians Of the United
States adds strength to the argu-
mcnt that it should have full recog-
nition as such This will he had, when il
is made the headquarters of the Bureau
Of Sanita alton.
The Agricultural College.
The city has been full, so tospeak, with
the commissioners of agriculture, and
the trustees Of the agricultural college.
Their sessions have been continuous, bu.
their work is routine, and of little out
side interest. The value. and also the pro-
pricty Of the college was recognized, and
it was ordered that additions be made
| Immediately to the accommodations.
Among the pupils at the college are two
/ Buncombc boys, Matthews and Mccoy,
of whom heard favorable reports.
The convention of real estate and bust
ness men of the south, called to meet here
on the oath instant, has been postponed
until farther notice.
The board of Worlds Faircommission.
crs on the part of North Carolina, meets
here today. This includes the lady com.
lnissioncrs; and Mrs. Charles Price. OF
Salisbury, has arrived, as has also Mrs.
X. X. Gotten, of Pitt county.
A sad Case.
A second death has occurred in the
family OF Mrs. Glennan. of diph:heria.
The lady, who is n daughter of the late
Kenneth Rayner, once a well known poll.
tcan, and who married daughter oi
Col. William Polk, an old revolutionary
patriot, arrived here last week to visit
her old family friends, intending even
tually to 90 on to Ashcvilc. One child
was taken i'll with dphtncria Immediately
ON arrival and soon died, and another
died last evening. There are two NOR,
children, both OF whom are i'll with the
same disease.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Busbee is still extremcl y
i'll, though his conditionis slightly more
hopeful. He is partially paralyzed, an,
is also dclirious most of the time.
The Six Hundred.
The Marlborough hotel is being enlarged
and the six hundred" may be accommo
dated when they visit 6he exposition
But that will he but drop in the bucket
learn that contracts have been mad
for one or more large temporary, bu
very complete structures such as were st
elective at Atlanta in dlsposiug OF tn
crowd.
The excursion to Ashcvillc on the 25tl
is looked forward to with interest. TIL
rates are exceedingly low, only $3.50 70
the round trip, and the hope Of inhalini
breath of pure cool mountain air con
solcs those who are now gasping for dea
lie in this furnace heated atmosphere.
