At WAKE FOREST COLLEGE.

\ Most brilliant Anniversary Being the
Sist,-Tir-t event % the Kind In the Col
leg. History.
without reservation the largest and
most appreciative assembly OF people
which ever attended the anniversary
exercises OF Wake Forest College, at
tended the sixty-nrst celebration on
Iriday, the 18th inst; and without res
erSation the general verdict Of those
who have attended many OF these
events declared this one TO have been
the most pleasant and profitable one
within their memory. The young gem
tlemen who participated in the exer-
cises covered themselves with credit
and honor.
Fun particulars cannot be stated
here, but not To max. brief mention
would be an injustice to an INTEREST," x
and important occasion.
one division Of the programme was
debate of the following question:
"Essoir,d, That the government should
own and control our railway and tel~-
graph systems
The supporters OF the Affirmative
side were Mr.. willis g.. Briggs, OF Ral-
eigh, and Mr.. Albert u. tannady, OF
Granville county.
MIR Briggs made clear, concise and
unite comprehensive analysis OF the
question. The information he mani
Tested would put To shame many n
gray headed, suppos.d-i"-hy intelligent
and well informed man who attempts
20 discuss this subject lie was master
~ the moment and won confidence and
'ympathy by both a pleasant address
and logical argument.
Mr.. Cannsdy, for the Affirmative,
handled the question with gloves off
and exposed the evil features Of the
present management, with a ruthless
hand. He showed unmistakable evil
dences Of the orator in his delivery
and like his colleague, Briggs, ELECTED
rounds Of applause.
The negative was sustained by Mr.
90. y. Bray, of Camden, and Mr.. Rob-
prt y. sims, Of Raleigh. Credit must
nr given them for n remarkably good
,upport Of their side.
Nr. Bray dealt with statistics in a
.ppiOus manner and applied them to
sustain points advanced.
Nr. sims was very forCible. He was
.,holarly and connected, and had his
discussion been one to decide the &C
'uaI fate of the railroads, these corpo-
ratIou~ would have had occasion to
thank and honor him for splendid
plea for the maintenance Of the pres
eut system.
At the close OF the debate, the ques-
tiun was given To the audience for a
verdict, and the decision was ISIS to 81
,n favor Of The champions Of govern
mental ownership amid lusty and pro-
,ungeu applause.
In the evening the young orators Of
the day won IA much favor as had
been accorded 10 the debators. These
were MIR. Jasper Howell, Jr., Of Cald-
we'll county, who chose for his subject
christian and Patriotic Citizenship
and Mr.. \. &. Cree, whose subject was
'~pscialism.'

Senator PritC hard in Chicago.

Senator Pritchard went to Chicago
last week where he attended q ban
ouet given By the Marquette Club in
of the birth of Abra-
ham Lincoln. About fifteen hundred
people were present. Hon. VIM. Nc
kinley was the chief speaker Of the
evening. Other speakers were Sena-
tor Pritchard. Senator Thurston, Gov.
Hastings. of Pennsylvania, and Gov.
Tpham. of Wisconsin-all Republic
cans. Senator Pritchard spoke of "Our
Hone in the South" He dealt mainly
with the tariff, and wanted protection
for Southern interests. He praised
the Mckinley tariff. He said:
1T should be the desire of the Re-
publican party to strengthen, encour-
age. and establish permanent and
enduring party in the Southern States,
and this could be accomplished by Civ
ing the people to understand that they
were to have their interests carefully
protected. The Senator ended his
speech with the prediction that with
William Mckinley as st0odard bearer
on such q platform, the Republican:
would carry North Carolina, Virginia
| Tennessee. and perhaps other Southern
states"
On the money question he said:
1t the Republican party stand:
now, As ever, for honest money. and
chance to earn it by honest toll. Ii
stands for . currency of gold, silver
and paper with which TO measure oul
exchanges that shall be as SOUND a
the government and as untarnished q
I its honor. The Republican part,
would as soon think Of lowering TIT
flag of our country as to contemplate
with patience or without protest ant
opposition any attempt to degrade O.
corrupt the medium of exchange
among our people. 1t can be relle'
upon in the future as in the past t
supply our country with the best none,
ever kEown-gold, silver and paper
good the world over"

The decisive battle for and against
the free coinage of silver was fought
in the House last Friday, with q re-
suit differing from the result Of the
preliminary skirmish on Thursday
when the vote was taken in Committee
OF the Whole and the silver forces were
defeated-190 to 50. Both sides mus
tered their greatest strength for the
final vote on Friday. Every member
who could possibly be reached by the
whippers-in on either side was on
hand to record his vote. Only fifty
one absentees were noted, and most Of
these were paired, OF the $50 MEM
bers sos voted, and on the question of
adopting the Senate free coinage bill
2l5 voted no and 80 yes. The question
on which this result turned was Mr..
Crisp's motion that the House do con-
cur in the Senate substitute for the
House bond bill, the Senate measure
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Twenty-six Republicans voted for
the bill. as did also the six POpulists.
The Democratic contingent which vo-
ted against the bill, was as strong as
the combined Republican and Populist
vote in favor of silver. thirty-one DEM
Gratis voting no. The Democratic vote
for the bill numbered only ffty-one
votes.
Messrs. Linney. Pearson. Shuford,
skinner. and Strowd and the Demo
cratic congressman from North Caro-
lima. voted for the bill.
The Democrats in the House are
about as badly split up on this issue as
the Democrats in the Senate. And
vet in a few more weeks the people
will hear Democratic stump speakers
swearing that free coinage Of silver
can be had through the Democratic
party.
There can be no hope OF reform

BOLT AND NUT POOL.
An Organization Effected After Many
Unsuccessful ATTEMPTS

PITTSBURB, Nov 12.-The CONNER
cial Gazette will say tomorrow: After
many futile attempts the bolt and nut
manufacturers of the country will or
ganize combination, better known as
selling pool. Joshua H. Parks of Boston,
one of the shrewdest and ablest finan-
ciers of modern times. is the organizer
and chief mover in the combination. In
spite of the secrecy with which the
meetings were surrounded the story
came to the surface. About thirty firms
were represented yesterday at the Mo-
nongahela house gathering. The prelim-
mary arrangement for a selling pool was
completed and it needs but the ratifi-
cation of those interested to close the
deal, placing the output and price of all
the nuts and bolts manufactured in the
country in the hands of one man, a
commissioner. Despite the Roadway
made at the meeting yesterday one of
the manufacturers said that an under
current existed which delayed the or
ganization. This can be explained by
the fact that the manufacturers are
suspicious Of each other and many
have sent clerks to represent them, so as
not to be bound too tightly by agree
mentS.

PETTY BUSINESS
The Times Alters an Official Communi
M cation and Then Prints 1t

The Times yesterday printed an al
legged communication which the League
for Better City Government had filed
with the city clerk and which was ad-
dressed to the council. 1t was in rela-
ton to a publication of the charter
amendments.
The letter as 1t was printed had been
altered by the omission of six words in
order that it could be made to say what
it did not say. There was no excuse for
leaving the words out, as the letter was
plainly typewriter.
A number of the members of the
executive committee of the League for
Better City Government were seen yes
terday. and they bitterly denounced the
petty piece of business.
The full facts We're laid before the
head of that paper and request was
made that a full and complete retraction
and explanation be made by the paper
today Whether or not it will be done re-
mains to be seen.

A MIDNIGHT STREET FIGHT.
An Ex-Police Officer Assaulted and Cut
With a Knife.

Shortly before midnight last night a
drunken row occurred at the corner of
Main and Second streets between four
men, one of whom was Sam Dugan, for
merly an officer on the city police force.
One Of the men knocked Dugan down
and kicked him viciously in the ribs,
also, it is claimed, using knife.
Dugan was slightly cut, but whether
by his fall on the sidewalk or by the
knife is unknown, as by tee time the
Officers arrived all the combatants had
separated and left the scene. The ex-
policeman was led off by his friends
and could not be found to ascertain the
extent of injuries inflicted. No arrests
names of the other parties to the ARRAY
are unknown.
