rotary of State; and others.
The party was driven at once to the
Marlborough, where the Nice-Presi-
dent was the guest of the Secretary
of State.
The young ladies who accompanied
Mr.. Stevenson from Washington-Mis
Stevenson, the Misses Hardin and Miss
Alexander, of Kentucky-decided to
remain at Chapel Hill to attend the
Vice President to Raleigh. They were
greatly pleased with Chapel Hill and
the University, and express themselves
as having had delightful time" in
the old University town. They will re-
main at Chapel Hill until this morning.

he was running for Vice-President.
He spoke to a crowd of thousands in
the campus at ST. Mary's. He num-
bers his friends by the hundred here,

cordial welcome.
He is by blood akin to North Caro-
lima. for he is a direct descendant of a
signer of the Mecklenburg Declare
ton of Independence. And North Car
DINA is proud to call him her grand
son.
Since it has become plain that the
Chicago convention will be controlled
bv the advocates of the free coinage

shook his hand, one after another call
ed him the next President of the Uni
ted States"

MARVELLOUS RESULTS.

From a letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract:
81 have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While l was pastor of
the Baptist church at Riyes Junction
she was brought down with Pneu-
monia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended DR..
Kings New Discovery; it was quick in
it's work and highly satisfactory in re-
suits. Trial bottles free at John Y
MacRae's drug store.

Governor Carr yesterday made requi-
tion on Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
for John r. Hicks, the Asheville forger.

heard of since at Memphis, Louisville,
ST. Joseph, Philadelphia, New York
and San Francisco. He was arrested
in Tuseola, Ill.,, where he Els now in
Jail. Wherever he has been he has left
a trail of worthless or forged checks
on different banks. The Asheville
banks have already protested $1,70S
in his checks. and there are 81, 800 of
them in circulation.
He was a Knight of Pythias, and
worked the fraternal racket for all it
was worth. In one instance he obtain
ed the signature of the matron of an
orphans home.
f. M. Jones has been appointed to
bring him back to Asheville from Hi
nois.
