sonaI and General.

RALEIGH, ". c., December 2S-(Spe-
cial)-Judge Walter Clark, Of the SUI
preme Court, was applied 90 for a man.
damus TO compel the Clerk Of the court
to produce the ballots for recount In
the case Of Broughton W. Young. Judge
Clark gave Clerk Young a hearing to
show cause why the ballots were with
held, and he not giving a sufficient rea-
son, Judge Clark issued an order for
tho ballots TO be recounted Wednesday,
December Goth. Many are the complica-
tionS that arise from the iniquitous cleo
tion-law that this State has 20 contend
with.
MANY REGRETS
Many were the expressions Of regret
when the news Of the death OF Major
Finger reached here. As superintendent
Of Public instruction. no lived among
us, and he and his wife made many
friends here. He was man who al-
ways had the interest Of his State. and
especially her educational interest, at
heart Mrs Finger received. besides Gov
ornor Cars telegram Of sympathy, many
moro from prominent men of the State.
There has not been an accident here
70 mar the pleasure Of the holidays. Tho
Mayor interviewed several DRINKS, but
there was no row. The weather was
cold and snoppy but clear as a bell. IL
is still clear, but Is much warmer. We
need scarcely hope for q much-longer
continuation Of this though.
BUSINESS LET Up.
There has been rather let up IN
business since Christmas morning so
that there IS a dearth OF news I'm all the
departments. To-day. however. there
seems to be a beginning Of business
again.
The new Republican paper, the Tribune,
Will occupy the old Offices formerly used
