MET ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO.
Romantic Marriage of Miss johnson
and Mr.. Poland.

Miss Carrie Johnson, Raleigh, n. c.
was the modest name that appeared
ON the Park Hotel register at supper
last night. This morning it is Mrs.
C. Beauregard Poland"
And it all came about in this way:
On the night of the Barber-Crawford
wedding, October 7th, Mr.. Poland, a
young man who came here some two
months ago and has since been en-
gagged in an advertising scheme, met
Miss Carrie, the daughter of Mr.. j. j..
johnson, formerly of the firm of Bar
Der and Johnson. The acquaintance
ripened, within the short while they
were together, into friendship and the
friendship into love. MIR. Poland be-
came a frequent visitor to Miss john
sons home. The parents of the young
lady objected to the rapidly growing
intimacy on the ground that they knew
nothing of the young man, as he WAS
a stranger in the city. But this did
not prevent the lovers seeing one an
other. Clandestine meetings were ar
ranged and Cupid had his own sweet
way.
Last night Miss Johnson and two
of her young lady friends accepted the
invitation of Mr.. Poland to take tea
at the Park. But no one of them
suspected the intention of the young
lovers until o'clock when Mr. Poland
announced his intention of going for
the license and a minister. 1t did not
take long to procure the first and Dr.
j. w. Carter, Of the First Baptist
church, was soon summoned 10 per-
form the ceremony.
Then in the parlor OF the hotel, in
the presence of two witnesses, and af-
ter an acquaintance of only two weeks,
Mr.. Poland and Miss johnson became
man and wife.
+ It is believed that the affair was pre-
arranged and Mr.. Poland invited Miss
Johnson and her friends to take tea
with him in order to have an oppor-
tunity to quietly secure his girl. The
parents knew nothing of the marriage
until dray was sent around to take
Miss Johnson's trunk, which was al
ready packed, to the hotel.
Mr.. Poland has been in Raleigh only
short while. He claims as his native
home Garysburg, Tenn. Miss johnson
is quite pretty.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
The Head, the Hand, and the Heart are
all Cared For.

4 visitor to the Educational exhibit
of the State Fair last week could not
but be impressed with the general
tendency towards a more practical sys-
tenn of education. The head, the heart
and the hand are all trained and cared
for now in the best schools, whereas
the head and heart were once consid-
cred of such paramount Importance
as to monopolize the work of the
school room, without any reference
to the unitarian side of education.
The exhibit of the Durham Graded
schools manual training work, the
drawing and mechanical work of the
institution for the deaf at Morgan
ton, the fine exhibit of CHINA painting
carving, cooking. China-painting sew
ing, dress-making and other industrial
features of the State Normal and In
dustrial School exhibit, and the exhio-
Il Of the A. and NJ. College all point
To he Importance that will soon be
attaeaed to the training of the human
hand in all school systems.
The CON- tarcial work in schools too
is gaining gr3eud The bookkeeping
and other comnec ial work displayed
Dy falrVleW institute and Thompson :
School at Siler City indicate this.
Moreover in the Normal and Indus
trial School exhibit we noticed printed
reports of the meetings Of the Medical
Association, the Fremen's Ass0cia-
tion and such other State meetings as
require sl<ilful reporters service all
reported by students of the States in
stitution for women
When the best public schools aud
women's institutions begin to empha-
size the practical side of education
and determine to keep usefulness as
well as literary culture constantly be-
fore the youth in our schools, it
means the dawning of brighter day
for North Carolina. Industrial educa-
ton cannot take the place of literary
education.

DIDN'T HELP HIS CAUSE aiUcH.
A Character Witness Who Has Bad
Opinion of Mckinley.

That it is a very risky busiess intro
ducing a character witness until you
know positively his opinion of you
was demonstrated to the great amuse-
ment of both the crowd and the court
in the Mayors Office yesterday.
4 young man was brought in from
Nash county charged with being
drunk and disorderly. Mayor Russ
asked him what he had to say for
himself.
We'll" he said, Il didn't mean no
harm by gittin' drunk. I've been goin'
to town now goin' on purity nigh TWEEN
ty year, and | allus gets drunk when
/ goes. But / amt never been in no
trouble afore. Pears to me the laws
is bein' changed
Mayor Russ explained to him that
the laws against drunkenness and
disorderly conduct had been in force
in this bailiwick for quite long peri
cd of years, and then asked him if he
had anybody by which he could prove
a previous good character, if so, it
might tighten his punishment.
The young man pointed out typi-
cal hayseed in the audience, and said
he knew his character, and asked that
he be sworn. The old countryman
came forward, his honest, bearded face
as solemn as if he were at a funeral
and as earnest in expression as if he
were grinding broad-axe.
Are you acquainted with this de-
fendant?" was the first question asked
him.
Il am" be tersely replied, as his
glance wandered from the Mayor to
the crowd.
do you know his Character
'I'm afraid / does.
''What is it?"
s'Now, le' me tell you," and he shift
ed his quid of tobacco from one side
of his mouth to the other and crossed
his legs. II kinder thought from his
actions that he was all right, because
he worked for me last fall, stripping
tobacco, and / fetched him to town
with me in my carry-all to the Fair.
But / have hearn SO much from them
as knows him since i been here, and
I've ketched him in so many lies that
I'm bout the same 'pinion O him as
/ am o. that fellow Mckinley since
Mr.. Bryan has been in his section. /
think, to tell you the truth, he's yeri-
fled son of a gum" or words to that
effect
The crowd roared with laughter,
and the old man looked up in sur.
prise at the Mayor, and added apollo
getically:
II hope you viii excuse me, Judge,
] didn't mean no disrespect.3

JOHN C. DANCY SPEAKS.

John G. Dancy, the negro orator,
spoke to about 125 negroes and half a
dozen white people at the Academy Of
Music last night. His speech was de-
voted to abuse of Bryan and his plat
form and praise of Mckinley. He
called Bryan an anarchist and Hanna
patriot, and declared that the Demo.
Gratis were trying to array the masses
against the classes, while the Repub-
leans were working for the interest
of everybody. Even though Dancy is
a negro and pleasant speaker his
colored auditors showed very little en-
thusiasm over his utterances.

The voters of Raleigh are all regis
tered now and on next Saturday the

examined by all parties and last night
there was a challenge entered against
about 140 names, over 100 of them
Republicans and less than 25 Demo-
Gratis. 1t is to be decided next Satur-

whether the would-be voter has been
able TO yindicate his claims to a right

DEATH oF MAJoR WINGFIM.p.

Mrs. DIR. Marshall left yesterday for
Portsmouth in response to telegram
announcing the death of her brother,
Major William Charles Wingfeld. He
died at his home in Portsmouth yes
terday morning at s o'clock, in his Gath
year. He had been a sufferer many
years, and his death was not unexpect-
ed. Maj. Wingfield has lived in Ports
mouth all his life, and was very popu-
lar and we'll known He was a brother
OF Bishop Wingfield, of California.
He leaves five children, two
sons and three daughters and
grandchild. One of. his
daughters, Miss Josephine, is well
known in this city, being a frequent
visitor at the homes of DR.. Martin
ind Capt. Ashe Maj. Wingfiled was a
gallant Confederate soldier and officer
during the late war.

While the above figures may not in
every case be exactly correct, they are
accurate enough to show the general
proportion of the challenges made yes
terday.
Some of the above were challenged
for being aon-residents of the wards in
which they are REGISTERED, others for
registering without certificates, but
by far the greater number of them
because their names correspond with
names on the DISTINGUISHED list taken

NOTES ABOUT ST. AlARY's school

On last Thursday Gov. Carr, Col
Bennehan Cameron and his staff and
the military companies, encamped in
Raleigh during the Fair, paid a most
graceful compliment to ST. Mary's
school. The whole procession on its
way to the Fair grounds marched
around the circle, stopped before the
main building of the school, saluted
and presented arms. Most of the
young ladies had unfortunately al
ready gone to the Fair, but all appre-
ciated the compliment to the girls and
TO the school.
The friends and pupils of ST. Mary's
viii be interested to know that the
copies Of the Muse recently issued,
will be on sale at Alfred Williams
book store. This number of the maya
zine will be of special interest to all
former pupils, as the editors have been
able to gather so many items about the
"old girls" and as it also contains some
of the essays of the classes of '95 and
90.
The large and very complete exhibit
OF ST. Mary's school took the gold
medal at the Fair. The school has
every reason to be proud of the thor
ough and artistic work done in all it's
departments. We congratulate it upon
it's success.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Democrats of Warren and Vance
have nominated John H. Kerr, Jr., for
the Senate. He is a relative of the
eloquent Kerr family of Caswell coun-
ty. His graduating speech at Wake
Forest showed that he had inherited
the talent. He is strong for free sill
yer, and is making an active canvass.
A very interesting fight is in pro-
gress in Warren county. The Repub-
Leans nominated Chas. A. Cook, a
well known bitter Republican. Some
of the Populists endorsed him, but all
the decent ones have repented of the
hasty action because Cook is trying
to elect the gold-bug negro White to
Congress, and gold-bug Pritchard to
the Senate. The Democrats have no
chance of success, but Mr.. A. r.
Barnes, gentleman from the North and
life long Republican, is an indepen-
dent free silver candidate against
Cook, and is going to get a big vote,
so the silver people there say.
When Edgar Hodges, fusion candi-
date for the House, was speaking to
an audience of three at Blounts
creek, Beaufort county, Mr.. A. B. Cox,
who has been a member of the Peo-
pel's party from the beginning on
principle, asked Hodges if he intend
cd to vote for Pritchard. The reply
was that he would not cross that
bridge until he got to it, This did not
satisfy Mr.. Cox, who replied: This
will never do, my people are for free
silver and your answer must be more
definite, or you will not receive
their support" Hodges then said he
would support the nominee of the Pop
ulist-Republican caucus whoever he
was. This was equivalent to saying he
would support Pritchard. The Popu-
lists viii not vote for such man I'M
til they become gold-bug Republicans.

THE WORK OF THE CONTENTION.

The report of the committee on re
solutions which were adopted unani
mously on Tuesday afternoon is
certainly of such nature as to merit
the appreciation of all good patriots.
An assembly of the kinda truly re
preventative body of Democrats
gathered from every precinct in the
county, were well qualified to voice
the sentiment of the people upon one
of the most important issues of the
campaign.
1--WE are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and all
other schemes designed to debase our
currency and deprive the country OF
the advanced position it now occupies
among the commercial nations of the
world"
Truly the trumpet sends forth no
uncertain sound. The clear ring OF
honest dealing, of honest money and
honest desire for an honorable com
mercial position among the nations of
the world, is announced as if with
clarion tongue, to let the State con
vention know that Hartford Demo-
Gratis are not to be beguiled by the
soft, sweet tones of the silver syren,
but abominating the heresy which is
now prevailing in other places, they
will be found true at all times to the
principles upon which the party was
founded and which has been so essen
TALLY necessary for the perpetuation
of that party.
