Georgia another exception-lnmDer.'
Mr.. Bacon protested at being termed
free trader. He favored duty on all raw
materials.
''All raw materials that compete with
the products of Georgia" remarked Mr.
Hoar amid laughter.
After Mr.. Caffery had made the state
ment that he had, no apologies to make
for his vote on the Wilson bill, the debate
became desultory. Mr. Allen (Nebraska)
touched briefly on the subject of duty on
hides and then inveighed aginst the lum-
Der duties in the bill which, he said, would
be particularly oppressive to the people of
Nebraska who were the victims of the
lumber trust.
Mr.. Thurston (Nebraska) defended the
proposed duty on lumber in some brief
remarks.
Mr.. Jones (Arkansas) characterized as
absugd the claim that this country was
being flooded by foreign manufactures
Of lumber in the face of the fact that but
81. 500 900 worth of lumber was imported
last year against $540,0O0,000 consumed.
Mr. Spooner Wisconsin, protested
against the general arraignment of the
lumbermen on that account and paid
high tribute 10 their integrity and public
spirit. Mr.. Spooner called attention to
the remarkable nature of Mr.. Vests
amendment which proposed to exclude
white pine from the general duty of 50 on
timber. Why should the lumber interests
of Michigan, Minnesota. and Wisconsin be
dealt this blow?
Mr.. Vest disclaimed any intention of
discriminating.
Mr.. Pritchard North Carolina) called
Mr. Spooner's attention to the existence
of white pine in Kentucky, West Virginia
and Tennessee.
Mr. Vest said that he would be willing
to withdraw his amendment and take

DIR. M'GEACHY LEAVES US.

DR.. Robt. S. McGeacby first assistant
physician at the North Carolina Insane
Asylum, left yesterday for his new field in
Atlanta, Ga The institution loses in
him a valuable and efficient physi-
cian DIR. McGeachy is one of the few
old officers who could have held their
position regardless of politics or political
favor all Of which is on account of his
proficiency. He was elected second assis-
tant physician in September, 1894, shortly
after graduating at Belleyiew Medical
College, New York city. In 1896, he went
again to New York and post-graduated in
his speciality (which is nervous diseases),
having obtained full consent of the board
of directors of the asylum. This spring,
upon the resignation of DIR. Faison, DR..
McGeachy was promoted to first assistant
physician, and has so well filled that posi-
tion that all good men who have the well
fare of the helpless insane at heart desired
that he continue at his post, but the Doc
tor had determined otherwise and sent in
his resignation to take effect yesterday.
He leaves with the best wishes Of the citi-
Zens of Raleigh and of those he has been
so long and intimately associated with in
the institution as their friend, co-worker
and physician.

THE HEsTER-RoBERTsoN CASE.
One Of Robertson's Witnesses Held on a
Charge of Perjury.

Another chapter in the Hester Robert
son seduction case was written injustice
Marcom's court yesterday morning when
Thomas Hester was arraigned for per-
jury and bound over i'm n bond of $3.50
for his appearance at the July term of
court
II will be remembered that when Miss
Ilester's father sued Thomas Robertson
for damages for the seduction of his
daughter, young Thomas Hester, cou-
sin Of the young lady, but a friend of Rob
crtson, gave some evidence very deroga-
tory to Miss Hester's character. This
statement, it is said, he denied time and
again off the stand in the presence of
various witnesses and gave reasons for
50 swearing when called up as witness.
Yesterday he waived examination.
Robertson has never paid the $1.500
damages awarded against him and there
is now pending against him a criminal
action for seduction. All the cases are set
for a hearing at the July term of court.

REVISION OF THE TAX LIST.
win Keep the County Commissioners in
Session All the Week.

The county commissioners met yester-
day morning in regular monthly session
and consumed most of the day in routine
business, such as allowing rebates on
taxes, passing upon claims from the out
side poor and listening to petitions for
new roads.
The matter of electing a County Board
of Education was.taken up just before ad-
Journment yesterday evening, but, on ac-
count Of the lateness of the hour, was
postponed until to-day.
Daniel Kelly presented his official bond
as constable of st. Matthews township
and it was accepted and ordered filed. It
is a personal bond signed by CASTOR
Powell, Chas. T. Hester and J. A. Wat
kIns. John Turner asked to be relieved
from the bond of John r. Upchurch, con-
stabble Of Raleigh township.
Commissioners were appointed to lay
out road from G. ID. Jones gin house, in
Wake Forest township, to the Juniper

ID. G. Strickland's to II. r. Horizons, in
Little River township, was presented by

son, secretary of the Board of Charities.
was read and ordered filed.
This is the meeting at which it is pro-
vided, by law passed by the last Legisla-
ture, that the jury list shall be thoroughly
and completely revised. As this is a very
tedious job, necessitating the going over
the tax books for last year, it will take
sometime, and it is therefore probable
that the Board will be in session the whole
week. In addition to the revision of the
tax-list more than the usual amount of
business is to be transacted.

Capt. Leonard, Also, Returned to Ur-
bana with a Cowardly Whine About
His Ruined Business.
Urbana, Ohio, June 7.-Sheriff McLain
reached home on the Big -Four train from
Springfield this afternoon. He was met
at the depot by Deputy Sheriff Kirby, in
a cab, and was hurried off to his moth
er's home. Mayor Cannon wrote O. card
today. In it he condemns mobs. He says
that all was done by the sheriff to save
Mitchell that could have been done, and
if more force had been used, men, women
and children would have been killed.
Captain Leonard was in Cincinnati in
cognito Saturday and Sunday. He said to
Col. Hunt his Cincinnati host:
"My business is ruined and my family
broken up. | don't think / shall ever go
back to Urbana. | dream of terrible oc-
currences, and awake with start at
night The din of that bowling mob is in
my ears. / hear that the father of Bell,
who was killed, has threatened to shoot
me on sight. / am going to leave the city.
but my whereabouts will be kept secret" ;"
The feeling here has subsided very
much. A strong reaction has set in and
the best public opinion tonight favors
protection to the fullest for Captain
Leonard and his company.

Political Football.
s,s>s.ss-x.
The executive committee of the board
of trustees of the A. and NJ. College meets
tonight and the board tomorrow. 1t is
understood that some members of the
board are in favor of making some very
radical and sweeping changes in the facul-
ty. The more conservative members,
however, and it is believed the majority
of them, have the interest of the college at
heart and will make no change until it is
clearly shown to them that it will add to
the efficiency and reputation of the insti-
tuition.
1t is said that there are a number of
candidates for every one Of the nearly
twenty places in the college. Among them
are Mr.. John Graham, of Ridgeway, who
wants to be president; James j. Britt, of
Bakersyille, who is an applicant for the
professorship of English, the position now
held by Prof. Hill; and Mr.. Frank e.
Emery, who would like to have the posi-
ton OF Professor of Agriculture-Prof.
Irby's place.
These and other candidates, however,
are finding it rather uphill business push
ing their candidacy. The steady growth
and present prosperity and popularity of
the institution are an argument that they
find it hard to meet.

BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM

From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at first, but nevertheless ap-
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or a pain and finds that it
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she has used ever did
her as much good. For sale by all
dealers and druggists. Benson, Smith
& Co., wholesale agents for the Ha-
waiian Islands.

MRS. fuckers CONCERT.
Choruses by Government School Child
rem pleasingly Rendered.

Mrs fuckers concert at the Y. NJ.
c. A. hall last evening proved quite
a success. The object of the concert
was to supply funds for buying extra
music for some of the schools. The
children chosen for singing in the
choruses were selected from the
Royal, the Fort street and the Chi
nese Girls school. The two former
showed what long. training could do,
while the latter, which has only re-
Gently been organized as a Govern
school, showed what had been done
in a comparatively short period of
study.
The chorus singing by the Royal
school boys calls for special common
dalton, there being fine volume of
sound and beautifully soft modula-
tions during their performance. The
singing of the Fort street school
children showed the influence of the
training of both Mrs. Tucker and
Armstrong Smith. There was pecu-
liar delicacy about the rendering of
their share of the program.
The chorus singing was interspers-
ed by sulos from some of our promi-
nent amateurs. Miss Wards voice is
always welcome, and Mr.. Macurda was
acceptable. Mr.. Charles Kreuter's
cornet selections were highly appre-
ciated, as the storm of applause testi-
fed. Miss Grace Diclley and Miss
Elsie Wilcox presided at the piano.
The audience was an appreciative
one and showed the greatest interest
throughout the performance.
