GREE TING TO COL. j. S. CARR.
The Normal Girls Welcome Him With
Rapturous Enthusiasm.

Greensboro, y. c., May 20.-(Specia)
The Normal school commencement
closed last night with most delight
full entertainment by the young ladies
of the two literary societies, followed
by brilliant reception.
The programme was as follows:
King Cotton-Mandolin Club.
Alumnae Essay-Aliss Bertha NJ.
Lee.
Chorus-Jack and Gill.
Delsarte Drill.
Mandolin Club.
Scene from MilladO
Mandolin Solo-Miss Mary Shepard.
Minuet-Recftatio and Illustration.
What Her Fan Says-ChOrus.
Modern Girls.
Solo-Miss NJ. Parker.
Gypsy Scene.
Col. Julian S Carr, who in The morn
ING had given $4,000 to the school, was
welcomed by the girls and the audience
with rapturous applause, and was
literally forced upon the stage. The
hall was packed with vast audience,
rarely if ever equalled in North Caro-
lima for beauty, culture and intelli-
gence. They clapped and shouted and
waved handkerchiefs and would not be
satisfied until Col. Carr went upon the
stage, evidently deeply moved by the
enthusiasm and heartiness of his re-
ception. He said: IF there was one
lesson more than others that he had
learned early in life from his mother it
was to be seen and not heard in conn
pany. and here i'm the presence of so
brilliant and beautiful a company,
he was more than ever disposed 20 look
and not talk. He would not make a
speech and yet he could not be silent.
The emperor Trajan had set up in the
imperial city a majestic column of
marble to tell Of his victories over the
enemies of Rome. The State of North
Carolina has erected a noble and more
useful and more leading monument of
her wisdom and philanIthropht. She
has erected this institution in order
to prepare young women for the duties
of life.
This school, under the wise, active
and efficient management of President
McIver, assisted by a wise, liberal and
patriotic board of trustees, is now be-
come the chief jewel in North Caro-
lina's beautiful diadem. As a citizen
of the State, am proud of the Normal
and Industrial school, and / declare
that it merits the appreciation and
support of every true North Caro-
linian"
The speech was heard with great en-
thusiasm and the company went wild
again. After the concert the girls gave
Col Carr a reception and a warm
gracious personal greeting that few
men have ever received. Indeed Julian
S. Carr illustrates every day by philan-
thropy and patriotism and generosity
| that it is more blessed to give than re-
ceive.

THE ALAMANCE DEMOCRACY.
Return of Jim Holt to the Party Gladly
Welcomed.

TO the Editor:-The manly letter
of James II. Holt, Jr., in severing his
connection with the enemies of good
government in North Carolina, has
started an enthusiasm that will be
worth thousands of votes in the com
ing contest.
TO say that the man was held in
high esteem by the good people of the
State but feebly expresses the true
sentiment of the people for him indi
yidually, for he is a true son of one of
the best and most beloved names of
the State. Those who know him best
were not greatly surprised at his re-
turn, for all knew Jim Holt was too
true and loyal son to the best inter-
est of North Carolina to lend his influ
ence to the class of men who are now
trying to get control of this good
State of ours.
The hundreds of letters received by
him from men of high position all over
the State must be very encouraging
and gratifying.
don't know of a county in the State
where there is better or more hopeful
feeling in the Democratic ranks than
in old Alamance. They are deter
mined that she shall appear again in
the Democratic ranks.
| don't know of anything that can
help them do so more than Jim Hollis
letter and the nomination of Dan Rus
sell for Governor, which some of the
leading and most influential Republi-
cans of the county told me was big
blunder. as they regarded him the
weakest man seeking the nomination.

CABARRUS REPUBLICANS TALK
ING PLAIN.

Before leaving for the convention
Jake Boyer told Standard reporter
that the Republicans, with fusion,
would carry the State next November
by $4,000 majority, and without fusion
by 10000 majority, with Dockery for
Governor, but since his return he says
that unless something is done the
Democrats have it." Jake is very sore
over the nomination of Russell, and
says: I'VE went to Raleigh with twice
as many pledged votes for DoclIery
as for any other aspirant, but the
convention adopted the minority report
and we were cheated and defrauded out
of the nomination"
Republicans and Populists are both
very much disgruntled over the result
and many of them are loud and open
in their denunciation of the present
state of affairs. Concord Standard.

Capt. John Beard, chairman of the
P0pulist County Executive committee,
was asked this morning what he
thought of Russells nomination.
Il am not at all interested in it, re-
piled the Captain.
''Will the Populists of Rowan county
vote for him in case the Republican
and Populist parties fuse?" was asked
him.
Speaking for the Populists of Row

piled. This IS The sentiment of nearly

for redress under these circumstances:
He had given his child to a friend to

following remarkable paper:

the defendant, and delivered to the

1t is difficult to determine whether
this justice thought he was issuing a
capias. precept, or a writ of habeas

to crack
