The abolition of the Normal School was
doubtless a hardship, but the school

At last the report of the investigation
committee has been received, but I do
not see that it makes necessary the
scratching out of anything written

was inevitable, and there was no way
to avoid rebuke of the methods of

the guilty may have escaped the effect
of the investigation must be salutary.
If Wright does not resign from a pO-
sition he has dishonored he should be
expelled. The Assembly owes this to

SEASON AT WRIGHTSyILLE
A Grand Opening of the Seashore Hotel

A Grand Opening Of the Seashore Hotel.
The SSeashore Hotel at Wrightsville
was formally opened for the season last
Saturday night. This opening, the WI
mington papers say, was Il grand and
brilliant success, and the several hum
dred people, embracing many from diff
ferent points in the State and from
northern and western cities, enjoyed
themselves beyond measure. The man
agement of the hotel was fully prepared,
as it always is, to accommodate their
numerous guests and give them individ-
ually and collectively polite attention and
a glorious time"
Continuing the Messenger has this to
say of the management:
THE management of a hotel is all
in all, as any one will admit and from
this point of view it will be impossible
for this hotel to be failure, but on the
contrary it will be a magnificent arts
tic triumph.
''Mr. Il. e. Crawford is the manager
and he, as last year, will skillfully di-
rect the affairs Of the hotel. Though
a young man, he has had AN extensive
experience IN the management of hotels
and has made so many FINE achieve
ments along this line that he is regard
ed and justly SO, as one of the top
notchers in the business. His affability
naturally attracts many guests to the
hotel, and then he holds them fast by his
capable management.

AFTER JANUARY 1ST 1900
THE PRESENT ANALYSES ARE
CONFUSING.
AGRi[ I'll TuRAL DEPT CHANGES HANDS

At noon yesterday the Fusionist Off
cials made their exit from the Agricul-
tural Department and the recently
elected Democrats came in. The oath
of office was administered by Clerk of
the Court w. Nj. Russ.
The retiring officials are:
Commissioner, John X. Smith.
Secretary to Board, j. l.. Ramsey.
Clerk. Harold Dortch.
Stenographer, Miss Ada King.
Usher to Museum. II. Il. Shore.
Waterman, King.
And two janitors.
The new officials are:
Commissioner s. l.. Patterson.
Immigration Agent, J. w. Thompson.
Secretary to Board, r. X. Brnner.
Clerk, w. A. Graham. .Jr.
Stenographer. Miss Mamie Birdsong.
Typewriter. Miss Lucy Reeves.
Usher to Museum, Miss Annie Lewis.
Waterman, Thos. C.. Cherry.
Janitors, Castor Broughton and j. f..
Kennedy.
No change was made in the Curator
of the Museum or in the engineer. Mr..
Dortch. who has been clerk, becomes 4
fertilizer inspector.
At 4:30 o'clock the executive commit
tee of the board met and remained in
session half an hour.
The most important action taken by
the committee was the passage of an
order directing the Commissioner to cor
respond with all dealers in and manu-
facturers of fertilizers. notifying them
that after January /, 1900. the guaran-
teed analyses of all fertilizers offered
for sale i'm North Carolina shall CON
stitute only the three items contemplated
by law:
Phosphoric Acid. .......... Per cent
Ammonia Fer cent
Potash NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Per cent.
The purpose of this order is to elimin-
ate from all fertilizer bags the present
complicated, confusing and unnecessary
analyses.
A request was made to the committee
by Chairman Mcneil, for enlarged ac-
commodations for the Corporation Com
mission-either an enlargement of the
present rooms or a removal to the second
floor. The request was referred to Com
missioner Patterson and Chairman Cum
ningham.
1t is likely that the present quarters
of the Commission will be enlarged, as
a removal to the second floor of the
building would interfere with the
Museum.
The Commissioner Of Agriculture was
authorized to buy n microscope for Use
of the entomologist in his San Jose scale
work.
Mr.. j. p Arlington, who was elected
analytical clerk, was put to work in

1st. in the Chemical Department.

Every wiEter during his scourse Mr..
