There is no doubt now but that there
will be Il clash between the penitentiary

The matter of changes did not come
meeting was only for the purpose of re-
ceiying and transmitting the superin-
tendent's report for the past two years.
The clash will come at the regular
meeting of the board which will be held
the third week in this month.
Members of the committee were in
teryiewed yesterday. While they are not
doing great dca! of talking, yet it is
evident from their tone that they are not
disposed TO look upon displacement of
flisionists by Superintendent Day with
favor and will not confirm the appoint
ments.
Mr. Sigmon OF the heard. said he could
not speak for the members of the board.
but for himself he was opposed to con-
tirmatiOn unless charges could be prefer
red against the dismissed officials. He
further stated that he eourted full
investigation of the affairs of the peni-
tertiary by the legislature and that he
was really glad that it was going to be
made. If there is anything wrong the
people should know it and he. for one
was willing for them to know it if such
was the case.
Enough has been gathered to indicate
that they will kick when the time comes

In doing this. the board will always give

PROTECT THE TREES.

Recently the city authorities have had
planted on the streets recently curbed a
large number Of sugar NAPLES, which,
if allowed to arrive at maturity, will
make Raleigh the prettiest city in the
South. In order to protect the trees,
the police should see that boys and others
do not lean against or swing onto them
thereby loosening the soil around the
trees and killing them. Time and again
trees have been set out in this city and
were killed by just such means. The
shade from the frees, which have just
been set out will, if permitted to live, in
a few years prove u blessing to the citi-
zens of Raleigh.
