THE WINSTON CHARTER
REPUBLICANS DETERMINED TO
HAVE IT CHANGED.
Want Five Wards Instead OF Three
This Would Give the CITY
Fifteen Aldermen

r fIteen aldermen.
The Charter OF Winston is almost
certain to be changed by the new
Legislature.
The Republicans here are planning
for the changes they propose to ask
the Legislature to make.
1t has been practically decided to
divide the town up into five wards,
instead Of three. The ward lines, 1t
is understood, have not yet been def
nitely decided upon. Three wards will
be made out Of the one now known as
Third.
The same number of Aldermen are
TO be chosen from each ward, as at
present-thus making fifteen repre-
sentatlyeS for the city.
The Mayor will be elected by the
people instead of by the Aldermen as
at present.
Under the new charter it is also pro
posed to have two policemen for each
OF the tive wards-but no colored man
can hope to get on the force. The
white Republicans are as much op-
posed to him as the Democrats
For full particulars wait for the re-
vised charter.

A Negro Circular.

A Raleigh correspondent says that
much comment is caused there by the
appearance of a circular signed by
twenty-five Republicans, mainly col
ored, charging that John H. William
son, Francis M. Sosrell, Edward A.
johnson, and other Republicans en-
tered the State Convention and worked
against Fusion candidates, and in
favor of Democrats, and intimates
that they were bribed to do this. The
circular says that Williamson bought
more negro votes than any man in
North Carolina.

THE FIRST MARRIAGE
CELEBRATED IN GRACE METHO-
DIST CHURCH.
Miss Emily Wilder and Mr.. Edward
Mcknight Wed-ReceptiOn at
Mr.. r. B. Stones.

The first marriage to take place at
Grace Methodist Episcopal church,
! East Fourth street, was the happy
union, at 8 o'clock p. m. Jan'y 1st, OF
Mr.. Edward Mcknight and Miss Emf
| ly Wilder. the ceremony was per-
formed by the pastor, Rev. ". NJ
Curtis, in d manner that would have
done honor to divine of older years
and ripper experience.
Miss Estelle carp presided at the
organ and rendered a beautiful we'd
ding march.
The ushers entered in the following
order: Mr.. William Williams ana
Mr.. Frank Byerly~up right aisle; Mr..
Samuel Sifford and Mr.. w. W. Farrow
up right aisle. The groom entered
with his best man, Mr.. l.. w. Seabolt,
the two marching to the chancel.
The maid of honor. Miss Macia l..
Vandegrift, preceded the bride, who
entered the left aisle, leaning upon
the arm Of Mr.. r. B. Stone, who,
upon reaching the chancel, gave her
away.
At the close of the ceremony the
bridal party drove to the residence Of
Mr.. RIB. Stone, where pleasant recep-
tion was held, and refreshments
served.
The nuptials were witnessed by
large audience and the verdict OF the
friends of the happy couple was that
the first marriage in Grace church
was a decided success-the ceremony
being impressively performed the va
riUus parts OF the attendants being
well taken and the bride and groom
each saying i wilI'' with due prompt
ness and precision.
The bride possesses all those noble
traits of character which go TO make
up Christian lady. The groom is a
member Of the contracting firm Of
Pitts & Mcknight and is a splendid
gentleman.
Mr. and Mrs Mcknight have THE
very best wishes for d
lorg and happy married life
1t is quite probable chat the first
in Grace church will be fol-
lowed by similar event ere many
weeks shall have passed.

Accused Of Misusing Mails.

CLEvELAND, o., March 3o.-Investi.
CATION shows that James Robinson,
who is now under arrest in Chicago
for violating the postal laws, is the
same man who, until a few months
ago, published the Ladies' Monthly
Gem, in this city. Robinson, after de-
frauding his victims out of thousands
of dollars by means of SNAP rebus
and prize bogus watches, was arrested
for violating the postal laws. He
jumped his bond of $1,000 and fed to
Canada. The United States authorit-
les here did not first believe that
Robinson would dare start up business
again SO soon after his fight, under
the same name. They have now, how
ever, information which makes it
sure that the Chicago man is the man
wanted.
