A RECEPTION AT THE MANSION.
Given by Mrs. Russell to Children Of the
Murphy School.

Mrs Russell is very much interested III
the schools of the city, and yesterday
she showed it by a most charming recep-
ton given the children of the Murphy
Graded School at the Governors Man
sion.
Some time ago Mrs. Russell visited
this school. She was delighted with what
she there saw-the bright-faced children
and the manner in which they were be-
ing taught She spent some time among
them, and then, after going away she in
vited them to repay her visit. And yes
terday they did it-some 225 strong
and to say that they enjoyed every mo-
ment of that visit is TO express it very
mildly.
They were received by the charming
hostess, Mrs. Russell and by Gov. Rus
Craighill, Mrs. Jas. Mckee and Mrs.
Darby, each child being separately in
PRODUCED and made to feel perfectly at
home They Were under the charge of
Superintendent Howell and his assist
ant teachers, who did much to make the
occasion splendid success.
Light refreshments were served in the
dining room, which the little ones great
ly enjoyed, and then they were shown
over the Mansion, the portraits, of all the
governors of the State being pointed out
to them and some interesting facts relat-
ed about each. Among other things of
interest shown them was the silver ser
vice used on the blockade-runner I'D
vance during the war.
Some of the larger girls played on the
piano for the entertainment of the visi-
tors and others sang songs. Altogether
it was a most delightful occasion.
Mrs. Russell has extended a similar in
yitation to the children of the Centennial
School. but it has not yet been decided
ON as to the date of the reception.

meeting of the Board of Directors
Of rbe State Normal and Industrial Col
Iege at Greensboro, has been called for
Monday night, May 18th.
It is understood that this meeting is
called for the purpose of taking under
consideration the refusal of the State
Treasurer to pay extra appropriations
made by the Legislature, on the ground
that there is not enough money in the
treasury to permit of his doing so. 1t is
Just possible that the directors of this and
other institutions may bring suit to COM
pei the Treasurer to pay thes approprla-
tons, as long as there is anything IN the
Treasury to pay them with. They may
contend that he has no right to dlscr1ml-
nate between a regular and an extra APP
preparation, but must pay all approprla-
tons made by the Legislature as thew are
called for, in accordance with the act by
which they are appropriated
The following persons, by lstrlcts,
compose the board of directors. Superln-
tendent G.. H. Mebane. chairman ex of

LOGE HARRIS FIXED IT ALL.
How He Managed to Steer Around An
other Asylum Lawsuit.

other Asylum Lawsuit.
The Governor was yesterday nightly
pleased He was of the opinion that
Loge Harris was a mighty smart man,
smarter even than he had heretofore
given him the credit of being.
The cause for this rise in Harris stock
was Loge's solution of the asylum ques-
ton. He had cut the gordian knot,
solved the problem, avoided lawsuit,
given the Republicans control of the
ASYLUM and still kept everybody in a good
humor. Sort of Herculean task, to
be sure.
1t will be remembered that, as pointed
out in this paper, there was considera
BILE doubt as to the Goyernor's power to
appoint new directors in place of those
whose terms have expired by limitations
but whose successors were not chosen by
the Legislature, as the law prescribes.
they shall be. The law was so clear on
this point that there was considerable
talk of another test case to decide the
matter in case the Governor should at
tempt to fill the vacancies. This he
wished to avoid But how to it-that
was the great question.
He turned the matter over to Loge
Harris and Loge did the trick. The three
directors whose terms had expired re-
signed and the Governor thereupon APP
pointed their successors. This of course
does away with any more lawsuits.
Now how was it done? How did
Loge get these three directors-Broad'
foot, Boykin, and Cotten-to resign

term, 1896, of Watauga Superior Court,
and sentenced to two years in the peni-
Tertiary. The prisoner is a boy convicted
Of the killing of another boy. 1t is rea-
sonably certain that the homicide was
accidental. Every man on the jury states
in writing that he does not believe the boy
TO be guilty, and urges the boys pardon.
The pardon is also recommended by the
trial judge, by the chairman and other
members of the board Of county commits
sioners and all the county officers and by
several hundred citizens. 1t is evident
that the jury would not have convicted
but for the unfortunate misconception of
their duty for which hey were not to
blame.

THE TAX ON HORSE SWAPPING
Only Applies to Those Who Make a
Business of Honse Trading.


The last legislature Incorporated into
the Revenue Act Il section 90 provid-
ing for the levy of tax on Horse ira
ding, which has caused Il great deal of
interest and inquiry from all parts of the
State.
This section is as follows: "On every
person or firm who keeps horses or
mules to hire or to let, with or without
vehicles, fifty cents for each six months
for every horse or mule kept for that
purpose. Such person shall. on the first
day of January and July of each year.
furnish to the register of deeds a sworn
statement Of the number of horses and
mules so kept at any time during the
preceding six months, the taxes to be
collected by the sheriff or tax collector.
And all persons or firms who buy, sell Or
trade i'll horses or mules as a business
for profit, shall pay an animal tax of
$25 to the State and an additional tax
of $40 to each county in which such
buying. selling and trading is carried
on
1t is the last sentence, however, that
has caused the inquiries and even some
excitement as it has been construed in
| some sections to mean that farmers can
no longer swap horses, without being
liable to the penalty tax of $1,000.
This is not true. Neither Auditor
| Aver nor Treasurer Worth so construe
| it. They say it applies only to persons
who buy, sell or trade horses as bus
mess This is the language of the Act
and it is difficult to see how it could be
construed otherwise
| The man who swaps horses unless he
makes horse-swapping his business, is
no more liable to the tax, says Treasurer
| Worth. than Is the man who occasionally
| buys and sells horse. unless buying
| and selling horses is his business.
