Business Agent Iyey Hopes to Have il
Running Soon.


Running Soon.
Business Agent Ivey, Of the Farmers
Alliance, was here yesterday. He said
that the business transacted through the
State Agency during the past three
months was largely in excess Of what it
was for a corresponding period during the
campaign two years ago. The business
for the present year has thus far been
better than for several years past
He says further that it is hoped soon
to have the shoe factory in operation.
The plant is an extensive one, and win
be most thoroughly equipped. Over
$4,000 has already been spent on it. All
kinds and grades Of shoes, from the
finest to the coarsest. will be manufac-
tured, the capacity Of the factory being
GOO pairs day
The Alliance has secured exclusive con-
troll Of new process for preparing leu
Their for tanning, from which it expects
great results. Leather tanned by this
process has been shipped to New York,
Boston, Chicago Philadelphia and other
cities, and has been pronounced by ex-
perts superior in texture and durability
10 that tanned by the ordinary process.
Mr.. Ivcy said his business in Raleigh
was to make q final appeal to the mem
hers Of the Alliance In behalf Of the shoe
factory, and that it would probably be
running to it's full capacity within the
next few months.
The factory is under the control Of the
Alliance Executive committee. This
committee is composed of Messrs Hile-
man, Graham, Mewborne, English and
Fleming.

stock IS Sis, and Of A s N. &. r. r, stock so.
The most important item under head Of
ssResources" is North Carolina Railroad
stock. 1t will be matter of interest TO
know that the present lease of the
North Carolina Railroad, which for six
years pays the State 1880 per annum,
or So. 500 over and above the interest
(S163, 200)on the per cent construction
bonds tS2, 720 .000), and after the expira
ton of that time $4,000 per annum, or
SAG. 500. over and above q per cent on
said bonds. The sinking fund created by
this surplus, invested at per cent will,
in less than % years, pay off the entire
6 per cent construction bonds which
were issued to build this road. This
leaves the States threefourths interest
in this railroad without incumbrance and
gives the State a net income Of $4,000
per annum from this source for CT years.
Should this income be applied to the
payment OF the interest on the 4 per cent
debt (s3. 800, ZOO amounting to S134, 42s
per annum 1t would leave a balance of
S75.572 which, il invested at per cent
for d sinking fund, would enable the State
to discharge her per cent debt in less
than 27 years. This, according to Mr.. Jer-
man > uSuIGGf NdAil 4t4AA1e&S N.1N
bonded Indebtedness of the State and
give her Il net income of $4,000 per
annum for Al years, or 40 TO per cent of
the aid yalorem taxes of the State at
this time.
The second item under head OF Re
sources is Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad stock In the event that the
present pending lease of this road be
made the State would receive an average
yearly rental of over 2 per cent on her
stock, or an annual income of over $685.,
900. This assured dividend invested at 4
per cent will in itself very nearly pay the
/ per cent bonded indebtedness Of the
State in the term Of years in the proposed
lease-forty.
So it will be seen from this statement
and the propositions laid down that
North Carolinians not only have right
to feel pride in the administration of
their States affairs and to know that
her bonds are as good as gold, but she
has two investments in these railroads
which may ultimately reduce the tax
rate-this is money saved TO every North
Carolinian.
1t is true that it may be seriously
questioned whether better terms might
not have been secured in leasing the
North Carolina railroad, but that is not
the question here discussed-it is simply
n statement of how the matter stands
under the existing conditions.

ROW In MORTON G. A. R. CAMP
Candidate for Commander Arrested
for EmbeZzlement.
His Friends Say 1t Is Spite Won k
to Influence the Election for
Commander.

There is trouble in the o. p. Morton
Post of the colored G. A. X. 1t began
with the election OF officers last night.
Members OF the post who are on the inside
of the inner circle tell different stories
about the trouble. This is what they say:
George II Boston and James Wells We're
candidates at the election last night for
the position of commander OF the o. + E.
Morton Post, colored, Il A X. Both SIDES
agree SO far in the story. They are also
unanimous in the statement that Candidate
Boston yesterday swore out warrant FOR
Candidate Wells, accusing him of en-
bezzling certain funds belonging to the
post and amounting to the sum of S54.s5.
1t is also the statement of both parties
that Mr. Wells was arrested by detectives
from the central office and locked up at
the New Jersey avenue station early last
evening. AT this point in the story, how
ever, there is broad, deep and yawnlng
ChaSm between the remarks Of the sEokes-
men for the two parties. The friends OF
Candidate Boston insist that their leader
was but doing his duty in exposing the al
legged shortcomings of his rival. They
ciaim tnau an causing Mr. Wells arrest
he was acting only III the interest and for
the benefit of the pest and that there
was no personal feeling or animosity.
Mr. Wells followers, however, re highly
fair as a piece of persecution. They say
there is absolutely no truth in the charges
against their leader, and that they We're
trUmped up on the eve OF the election in
order to defeat him. They point to the
warrant, and especially to that part of it
which states that the alleged defalcation
took place between December 10, 1894,
and December 4, 1898 Why, they ask,
should this matter be brought up on the
night OF the election? Why was it not
aired long ago and the affair settled be-
fore Mr.. Wells became a candidate?
just who is right and just who is wrong
will be developed today when the case Of
Candidate Wells versus Candidate Boston
comes TO trial. Last night the friends OF
Candidate Wells hustled from police sta
tion TO police station until they found their
leader and secured bail. Then they
bore him in triumph to the rooms of the
post, that he might be present at the cleo

The barefoot ballet will positively be seen in the third act and as the company brings all the SC ,nery, Manager Patton, has had all his scenery taken out and the grooves raised.
 Report in general, both from pub lie opinion and press criticisms, seem to concede that Lillian Lewis dem oustrates in "Cleopatra" that she Is the foremost exponent of not only the romantic, but the classic hero mess as well of modern times. Her conception of the Egyptian enchant- ress is masterly; each act is led up to, with increased effect, to the grand climax. That her own splendid physique and regal beauty in great measure-without effort on her part round out her conception, there is no doubt.
 The costumes worn in Cleopatra by the chorus, the ballet, the Pre- mierc and the ladies of the east are orientally volupuous and charac- tefistio of the time of Cleopatra: Those worn by Miss Lewis are beau tiful enough to awaken the envy of the Egyptian enchantress herself, could she shoe them.
