In response to an invitation from the

the edification Of the teachers and in
vited7 guests present in the chapel

The smallpox scare which SO much
frightened some Of our neighboring
towns is bou Over and 50 far, not a
single death has been recorded among
those designated a smallpox patients.
Wilson is n of three towns in the
state thai owns her own electric light
plants and waterwOrks.
The alarm of fire was Ounde last
night about midnight and before citi-
Zens living within a few bloch had
time to reach the scene of the fire the
fire company had arrived and ex-
tinguished the flames.
Several good men have already been
suggested as candidates for the mayor
atty of the city at the approaching
election, and their respective friends
are making a good natured, yet spirit
ed, The present incumbent,
Mr.. p. 3. Deans, has made a most ex-
cellent mayor, and he has many friends
who would be unwilling to see him re-
tired.
Mr.. James T.. Virgins, president, of
the tobacco board of trade, a retired
merchant, who has made his fortune
here and is largely identified with the
best interests of the town, has many
friends who would be gratified to see
this honor come to him.
Mr.. S. A. Woodland, a prominent and
successful attorney, and a man Of at
fairs, has perhaps a following more zeal
u and enthusiastic than the other
gentlemen named, and not only on &C.
count of his own worth as a citizen, blu
by reason of his earnest work for the
democratic party in many campaigns.
Who will be nominated, no man
knows, but these candidates assure us
a good mayor for the next year al
least.
The farmers of the county are behind
with their work, but the few bright
days we nave had recently seem tC
have renewed their hopes.
Much interest is being taken here in
the proposed visit OF the cruiser Raj
eigh to Wilmington. Named in honor
of u capital, it ought by all means
to visit our greatest seaport own tC

for wireless telegraphy that Is two thou

called "coherer" Of the Marconl sys-

In speaking Of the discovery to-day
Prof. Fessenden said:
Although we have improved the re-
ceIver so that 1t Is two thousand times
as sensitive as the original one. we real
lie that we have not yet begun to see
the limit.
"Marconl, In his brilliant experiments,
has demonstrated that messages can be
sent over ninety miles. AS our receiver
Is several hundred times more sensitive,
Il Is clear that the messages can be sent
by our method very much further.
