Portrait OF Nathaniel MacOn-Down
ON RnssnII.


RALEIGH, n. c.. December lS.-(Spe-
cial.)-For three quarters of a century
efforts have been made to procure a por-
trait of Nathaniel Macon. At last these
are successful, and w. G. Randall, we'll
known young artist Of this state, has
secured a picture. From this he has
made a portrait In oil. An engraving has
also been made. The picture represents
Macon i'm a coat OF blue broadcloth. in
the costume of about 1915. The massive
head is entirely bald on top, and on a
line with the top of his ears. The eyes
are piercing The face Is a remarkable
one. 1t reminds one of the face of eX-
Senator Ransom.
1t now appears that in 1900 the people
Of the State will vote on some cOnstitu-
tional amendments, notably on one limit
ing the suffrage. If an effective amend
ment can DO drawn. which will run the
gauntlet of the Supreme Court it will
almost certainly be presented TO the peo-
pie. Al one time it was thought there
might be a constitutional convention in
August, 1899, but ii now appears that one
cannot be legally held until 1900, and that
any amendments must be voted on at the
general election in that year.
