A NOVEL CHRISTMAS TREE.
Little Miss Walters Wins the Handsome
a~~ Doll Given by Jones.


Some weeks ago, Mr.. w. r. Jones, a
popular merchant, offered large and
handsome doll to the girl who would write
the best letter to Santa Claus. There
were 1865 competitors, and yesterday after
noon Metropolitan Opera House was
crowded to see who would get the prize.
Everyone of the 365 girls was present,
some with their mothers, some with their
nurses, and many more, men and women,
Just to see the delight Of a hall full of
expectant children.
Everyone of them expected the doll,
and 1854 were doomed to disappointment,
But Mr.. Jones arranged a handsome
Christmas tree. with 364 nice presents
on it, and 365 bags Of candy-so that
every one OF his correspondents shrould
receive prize and some candy. Mr.W.H.
Overton acted as Santa Claus, and de-
lighted the children. A committee of
ladies, Mrs. r. M. Simmons, Mrs. III. w.
Jackson, Mrs. w. III. Bobbitt, and Mrs.
Josephus Daniels, helped to distribute the
presents to the happy and joyous chill
dren. It was beautiful sight-one
never to be forgotten.
The lucky winner of the prize, as an
nounced by the judges, was Miss Edna
!. Earl Walters, daughter Of Mr.. G. n.
Walters, and here is her letter:
Raleigh, N. c., Dec. z, 1896.
Dear Santa Claus:
II am very happy because Christmas
is SO near. | want you to bring me a
nice Bible and a pretty Bible mark. /
want you to bring me pretty dog collar,
with nice lock and key, and his name
written on it. We named him Frisco
because he is SO frisky. hope / will get
the large DOLL AS I haven't any more

"EDNA EARL WALTERS.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

There is on exhibition in a glass case in
front Of the store Of Sherwood Higgs &,
Co, piece of sculpture that attracts the
attention of every one who passes by.
1t is a life-size bust OF the late Senator
Vance. and is the work Of a Raleigh ar
tist, Mr.. w. c. Randall. This is probably
the first work OF the kind ever done in
the State, and al North Carolinians
should feel enough interest in the sub
ject, the work, and the artist TO stop and
examine It is handsomely done A view
Of the profile makes you think that Vance
is present in the flesh.

taneously with other papers? What
spectacle is this? What a childish display
OF petty vindictiveness on the part.
Of a member Of "our non-partisan judi
ciary"-men supposed to be above preJu-
dice, broad in sentiment and learned
in the law / cannot believe it.
Another explanation of his action, and
/ have reason to believe the true one, is
that the news of the interview reached
the ears Of the Republicans, of whom
there were many in the city, and they
demanded of the Judge to Withdraw II.
More than one Republican stated that it
had been withdrawn and asked that no
reference be made to 1t.
Chairman Holton said Judge Furches
had been talking too much. He said his
business was on the bench and out OF
politics. HE is to be written after and
not talked after and he ought to realize
the fact. l hope you will not refer to
the matter at oil"
As rule, Republicans refused TO ex-
press themselves either about Judge
Furches or the subject matter of his in
teryiew. One leader, however, more cam
did than the rest, but who was unwilling
for me to use his name, had some inter
esting facts to contribute to the fight. He
considers the Populsts foxy crowd and
thinks they are simply trying ito do the
Republicans in the matter OF. offices.
This fight" he said, is only contest
for position. If Pritchard is reelected
he will control the Federal and State pa
troaage and Butler knows it. Now
what is he trying to do ?To hold Pritchard
up and make him deliver the goods
trying to force him to give the lion &
share of the State patronage to Popuiists.
Butler recognizes the fact that he has no
influence with the incoming administTa-
ton and that his gang can't get anything
from Mckinley and so he is determined
to strengthen and keep together his or
ganization by feeding his followers on
pie that belongs to the Republicans IN
North Carolina. Now if you want 10
know the true secret Of this whole fight
here it is: Patronage"
"Will Pritchard come to Buffers
terms?" | asked.
Pm afraid he will You know a man
will do almost anything to be United
States Senator"
Suppose he agrees to hold up his hands
and deliver the goods, what can Butler
do but defeat Pritehard after the fight
that he has made against himY
.Why simply allow himself to be de-
feated-apparently. Then see to It chat
the contract is carried out so Tar ~
the patronage is concerned
"Let me tell yoi, there has, ever since
1894, to my certain knowledge, been an
implied agreement between Butler and
Pritchard to capture and hold the two
Senatorships. This agreement was re-
affirmed in 1896 when Pritchard and But
Ter were elected. All this Is history.
Hon. John Nichols, of this city, was, to
my certain knowledge, go-berween for
these two men while negotiations were
going on. Butler did agree % help re-
elect Pritchard, notwithstanding his de-
nial.
''The Populists are a greedy SET and
they are simply trying to take all there
is in sight-that's the secret OF the whole
matter"

BOTH Or F'HEM 70 BE HERE.
Butler and Pritchad Will Add to Gaiety
of Things Next Week.

oL 1HiHgS Next week.
Senator Pritchard will open headquar.
ters here next week. He will not be here
himself until Wednesday, but his secre-
tary, III. S. Hyams, will be here Monday
with clerk or two and open up the head
quarters. They will not close up shop
until Pritchard goes back to the Senate
or goes down In defeat.
; Butler will be here too He will come
i the first Of next week, if possible, and,
like Pritchard, viii stay till the fight is
over.
1t is these facts, together with the
change Of administration that make the
meeting Of the Legislature this year one
of more than ordinary Importance. The
people of the State and of Raleigh, espe-
cially, are looking forward to the
assembling of the Legislature on Janu-
ary 9th with much interest.
The election OF Senator occurs two
weeks after the Legislature meets.
