DINNER AT WHITE HOUSE.
President and Mrs. Mckinley Entertain
the Cabinet.

Was ington, Jan. 1.-The first formal
State dinner of the season at the Whi.e
House took place when the President
and Mrs. Mckinley entertained the Cab
met. The public portions of the mansion
had been decorated in elaborate manner
usual on such occasions, and every
available space was made fragrant and
beautiful by the use of flowers from the
White House conservatory. Owing to
the large number of guests the table was
set in the main corridor and with its
lighted candeabra and floral decorations
presented handsome appearance. There
were three center pieces of brides roses
with groundwork of the maiden-hair
fern.
Lady-slipper orchids were also in abun-
dance. while at the plate of each guest
was boutonniere of carnations. Grace
full palms were set in appropriate places
around the room, while the ceiling and
the walls were hung with Southern
smilax In the East Room there WAS a
profus on of cut flowers, potted plants
and trailing ferns. Contrary to the Gus
tom heretofore observed the marine band
occupied place in the conservatory
where the musical effects were better
than from the position in the yestihule
which il had occupied ut all previous
State functions.

DEAF MUTE KILLED.
Liquor Licenses Granted Million Dollar
Deed Recorded

Scotland Neck, \. c., Jan. 4.-(Spe-
cial. Mr.. j. w. Cooke, deaf mute of
this place, was killed in Rocky Mount
a few days ago by backing train. Mr.
Cooke was 70 years old, and he was
walking on the railroad track near a
short curve. Though he was meeting
the train he did not see it. as he walked
with his head down. The brakeman
called to him, but not being able to hear,
he did not see the train until it was on
him. His body was brought to Scotland
Neck for interment and was buried Mon
day, Rev. X. I. Vann conducting the
service. He left three sons. Messrs. NJ.
G. Cooke. of this place, J. G. Cooke. of
Macon. Ga, and II. L. Cooke. of Jack
son. They were all here at the burial.
The county commissioners this week
granted thirty liquor licenses for the
county. The County Boail Of Education
Yesterday apportioned Is cents per cat-
ia TO the 10,990 school children in the
county.
A million dollar deed was recorded
in Halifax this week. 1t was Il deed ex-
ecuted last November by the Petersburg
Railroad Company to the Richmond and
Petersburg Railroad Company. The
amount named in the exact figures for
which the deed called was $1,952.212.-

pie in the country are inclined to move

MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Wilmington Dispatch.
Probably the most important ques-
tons that will come before this body is
the suffrage question, the question of
providing separate cars for the races,
and the apportionment of the school
fund in accordance with the amount of
taxes paid by each race. The two
former questions the Democrats are
solidly united upon, and it is safe to say
that they will not be long about reaching
a decision. The latter question our leg
is'ators seem TO he somewhat divided
upon. and it is hardly thought that any
definite action will be taken upon it.
Another important item will be the pass
ing of Il new election law. The social
ed fair election law now in effect is Il
misnomer and permits nothing but cor
ruption and fraud. 1t was drawn up
by the radicals with a view Of keeping
the Old North State blighted with ne
gro domination. 1t will go. and with il
the last vestige Of negro rule.

Springfield, Ills. Jan. 1.-The Dem9-

and for VIM. j. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan was
present and made an address. thanking
the committeeman for the personal com
pliment and congratulating tie organiza-
ton Oh its declaration i'm favor of free

The adoption of the resolutions en-
dors:ng silver and Mr.. Bryan by unani-
nous vote was something OF surprise.
for il was expected that several of the
membt rs of the committe with leanings
to the gold standard would oppose any
declaration in favcr of the platform OF
1896. c. X. Laid, proxy for Benjamin
7. Cable, who is generally regarded ~

majority and stated that he did so at the
request of Mr.. Gable.
Asida from the declaration of party
policy the meeting of the committee was
of interest because of the contest con-
corning its organiza ton between the fac,

nor Altgeld. The Harrison men elected

Aroused BY the Action of Fusion
School Committee.
Franklinton. \. c.. Jan. 4.tSpecial.)
On Saturday. December 31st. the
school committee of Franklinton town
ship. met at Franklinton and elected Mr..
Aeneth Il. Levister TO take charge of
the white public school i'll Frankl-nton,
District No. 4. The evident unfitness OF
the man for such Il position raised n
storm Of Indignation which eliminated
last night in an immense gathering OF
the best element of the school district,
for the purpose of protesting against
the inconsiderate action of the school
board in placing such Il man i'll charge
of our children, contrary to the wishes
of all the people. Mayor X. Il. White
called the meeting to order. and upon
motion was made permanent chairman.
Mr.. L. w. Morris was then elected
secretary. Chairman White explained
the object of the meeting. and after
many ringing speeches that clearly illus
trated the determination of the people
to submit to no such injury and insult
at the hands of the school board, a COM
mittee was appointed to draw up resolu-
tons expressing the sentiment of the
meeting.
The chairman appointed the following
committee: b. W. Ballard, II. c. Gull
ley. W. w. Green. e. w. Morris and
w. ID. Srruill. On motion Chairman
II. b. White was added TO the commit
tee. The committee retired to the office
of r. b. White to draw the resolutions
while the convention was left to enjoy
speeches from various gentlemen.
After a short absence the committee
returned and presented these resolutions
as follows:
To the School Committee of Franklin
ton Township:
The white citizens of Franklinton Dis
trict, assembled this day, January 2,
1899. present the following resolutions:
Whereas. You have elected Keneth
Levister to teach the white school of
this district, and
Whereas. 1t is well known that he is
not qualified to teach such school: that
he is not morally fit to instruct children.
and is known to be addicted to the excess
sive use of intoxicants.
Whereas, This selection is contrary to
every true interest of our public school.
and the people are not willing to send
their children to him;
Now, therefore, it is resolved that the
citizens here assembled. demand that you
revoke his appointment; that if any one
be selected that he be fit and qualified;
that the wishes and the interests of the
people be considered and consulted, and
further, that the members of the Con-
vention are determined to prevent the
consummation of this outrage. and they
express their firm resolve not to submit
to such an imposition on every sense of
right and propriety.
