Rev. n. Nj, .Iurney is the only preach
er in North Carolina who. in the last
election was president of White Gov
eminent Union. He was selected to
make the prayer at the great White
Mems Convention in Goldsboro, and he
prayed fervently that the Almighty
would restore White Supremacy in
North Carolina. The prayer was an
swercd and he was in Raleigh Yesterday
to see the fruition Of the hopes of the
good people of the State. His activity
in the campaign doubtless suggested
that il would be appropriate, upon the
opening of the Senate, that he return
thanks for the restoration of White Su-
prcmacy.
Frank l.. Stanton must have had the
organization Of the Legislature in mind
when he wrote these verses:
"When they're rakin' up the records
An rattlin' dusty bones.
Kin they find place fer Teller
Whose family name is Jones!
When they're tumblin' dusty book
SnclNeS
In every shop in town,
Kin they find place an little grace
Fer the good old name of Brown!
Though old-time names are nothin,
An what some calls "a myth,
Will they all be wise, an reckernize
The fine old name of Smith?
That's what we would be KNOWN
In this here State to-day:
Give all the folks shown.

An amusing incident spread ripple
of laughter over the Senate and galleries
yesterday during the vote for officers.
The first two Senators on the roll are
Messrs Black and Brown. The method
of voting was for each Senator to an
nounce his choice for the place when
the clerk called his name. Mr.. Nj. w.
White. of Iredell. was being voted for
as assistant doorkeeper. Black cried
the clerk in stentorian tones, white,
replied Mr.. Black, the Senator's smiled;
Brown" called the clerk, white re-
sponded Mr. Brown. and the floor and
galleries Uttered audibly.
The custom that prevails so largely
at Washington, Of sending flowers to
Senators on the first day, did not abb
tain largely in the State Senate yester-
day. Senator Cooke. of Asheyille, was
the only member of the body whose desk
had floral decoration.
There was considerable merriment at
the expense of a Republican Senator
yesterday. The Democrats outnumber
the Republicans so largely that while
the vote for reading clerk was going on
every Senator seemed to say "Murphy"
as the names were called, only SIX
voting for Samuels. When the Republi-
can Senator was reached he took UP the
popular refrain and answered Murphy"
along with the rest A colleague gave
him a vigorous reminder, and he hastily
changed his vote.

The speech of Senator Williams, of
Cumberland. in the Democratic caucus,
advocating Capt. J. b. Smith, was a
vote-maker The argument that told
most was that Capt. Smiths father
came from Scotland with the father of
the Messrs. Stronach. and helped to
build the State capitol. If they had not
built the capitol, how could the present
Legislature now have place to meet?
That argument. together with Capt.
Smiths popularity, fetched the votes.

A Few Suggestions.

EDITok DENoCRAr:
The City of Albany should own a park
am informed that for about $5O0O.00 or
less the block in front OF the County
Courthouse can be purchased, provided
it be purchased and donated to the city
for public park or city plaza. II nine
ty-nine other men will give fifty dollars
each, 1 will give fifty dollars and with
the fund of five thousand dollars thus
raised the said block can be bought and
decided as a gift TO the city. Some busi-
ness houses here no doubt would give
literally to this OBJECT. II any sum is
left of said fund after paying for the
block it can be used in constructing ce-
ment walks or promenades around and
through said block and in planting trees,
sbrubbery, benches for seats, painting
the band stand, and the like. Such a
plaza would afford pleasant and con-
venient llace in suitable weather for q
promenade. or q comfortable resting seat
where parents with little ones could
gather as they desired and listen to what
all like, especially children, namely, nu-
sic by our band.
This need not interfere with providing
for larger park for picnics, and out-of-
door public speaking, such as might be
established at the terminus OF the motor
line in Goltra Park, or at any suitable
place where the oEner may donate a
suitable number OF acres to the city for
park purposes.
a snitable place is also needed to ac-
commodate noted lecturers, public en-
teTtainments and Opera companies.
This could be erected by citizens taking
stock. For instance the present opera
house corporation, could deed its land to
la new corporation, of suitable name and
take in payment capital stock Of the new
corporation. Citizens could take the
necessary balance. While such stock
might not pay large dividends, it would
probably pay fair interest ON the in
vestment. Respectfully,

Letter from Fred Kober.

The following are extracts from let

on Dec. IA, and received yesterday morn

AZ Fred Kober Las very sore thumb
that will probably develop into fe.on
he requested me to write few lines
tie saws he appreciatee the paper, hand
kerchiefs, fruit etc. cent. Everything
came all right. As We soldiers have /
had any since we left the U. S. it W
quite a treat indeed. He sends his re-
CARDS to you and the others and says
this is one OF the happiest days that he
ever had. Every one received some
thing from bone, and it was happier
than payday. Most OF the cake receive
ed was spoiled but the fruit kept all
right. There are no protestant churches
here, and he misses our church. II the
natives do not give us any trouble we
will probably start for home by the first
OF March. The general health among
the soldiers is much better. There are
all kinds of animals and insects here
IRON the mosquito down to large snakes
and monkeys, which are ss plenty here
as cats are in q country barnyard in the
US. With an American school system
established here think the natives can
be made as good q class of people as
there are ia the O.ient. With q merry
Christmas and a pros erous New Year
