The following interesting
bit of gossip about George
Vanderbilt and his bride ap
peared this week in the sOcie
ty columns of the New York
Journal:
Y h g George Vanderbilts
have sailed. They made a
short stay IN New York. Mrs.
Vanderbilt dlslikes America,
but New York most of all. She
has been brought up abroad
and she prefers the life over
there.
| hear BiItmore will b e
closed after this year for
good. Mrs. Vanderbilt finds
it too gloomy and she prefers
d French chateau. What will
become of it | do not know.
Perhaps George Vanderbilt
may give it to the state for a
museum of some description.
He used to be devoted to the
place. But he leaves it inst
now in the height ofits glory.
There were house parties
and private theatr;caIs and
heaven knows what all. But
all of them seemed to bore
the new Mrs. Vanderbilt, who
besides, did not seem to
take very kindly TO her Van
derbilt relatives. At least,
there were not many large
family house parties during
the first year OF reign.

A Proposed Railroad from Cranberry
to LineOlntOn.

Newton Enterprise.
Gen. r. j. HOke, of Raleigh,
is at the head Of a syndica te
of capitalists that will make
application to the present
Legislature for a charter for
a new railroad from Gran.
berry to Lincolnton. Gran
berry is on the other side of
the Blue Ridge IN Mitchell
county, near the Tennessee
line, and is famous on ac-
count of the great mountain
OF iron ore of the same name.
There is also an abundance
of the finest quality of coal
in the vicinity. The object
of building the road is to get
a short line to Wilmington,
as an outlet by water for the
coal and iron.
We understand that the
plan is to build a broad
gauge road across the noun
tains from Collpttsvllle to
Cranberry, a distance OF 20
miles, and change the branch
narrow gauge line from there
to Lenoir, then make ar
rangement with the Carolina
and North Western Com
pany to change the gauge of
their road to the standard
gauge to LincOlntOn and use
the Carolina Central from
Lincolnton to Wilmington.
This would make a great
railroad, and its building this
summer would put out a
great deal of money along
the line. The fact that Gen.
Hoke is at the head of the
movement leaves little doubt
of it's success.

A Legalized Primary.
Asheyille Citizen.

The Citizen believes that
the Legislature should enect
what is known in other
States as the primary sys.
TEN, and put it in operation
in Nor tn Carolina. "
There has been a feeling in
the minds of many OF our
citizens, and ordinarily it is
found in the better class,
that the great mass OF the
people those who do no t
hold office, or expect to hold
ohice-do not have a suffic-
lent voice in the naming OF
the candidates for the var
ious Offices they are called
upon to fill from time to
time.
And this feeling has been
very much intensified now
hat the better element OF
our citizenship feels that in
the future The cOlOred vote
will not play the prominent
part in politics that it has in
he past. Hereafter the most
important part of politics in
North Carolina will be the
nomination Of candidates.
The candidates nominated
by the white people will be
the ones elected, and in nam.
ing them the white people be
given q chance toparticipate.
Now a primary that has
no more Significance than
mere party policy i s not
what is wanted. There should
he system of primaries adopt
cd having about it all the le.
gal safeguards that ordinar.
ily attach to elections. Then
the conflicts will be for nom.
nations and the people will
express themselves a t the
point where the grea test care
should be taken. 1t is i'm.
| possible to have bad officials
if none but the best men are
nominated.
The time is near at hand ir
North Carolina when it vii
not do to make nominations
by manipulating meetings
and conventions and then et
pect the nominees to be elect
ed whether fit or unfit. |
Democracy is fit to rule
North Carolina it.must show
that fitness by nominating
for office only those men who
are known to be capable .
making good officials.

news anu OUSefNeF.
The action of the Democratic
caucus makes it certain now that
the penitentinry will shortly be
under a Democratic Superintend-
ent selected by the Democratic
members of this General Assem-
bly,. The rotten condition of the
institution, together with the re-
spOnsibilitY that rests upon the
party in power, makes such ac-
tion necessary.
The penitentiary can be made
self supporting un Ter economi-
cal, careful and prudent manage
ment. but 1t Is a very hard thing
even then to do so. Under the el-
ficicnt management OF Mr.. LeaZ-
er, the expenses of the four years
were as follows:
1898. 93....................S 1877 ,0Gl 30
1894. 1874 30
1895. ................... 13l. .625 26

or an average OF $136, 1873. .2Oper

What the penitentiafy cost I'M
der John K. Smith is as difficult
to answer as the old query "Who
struck Billy Patterson?". In his
recent report, eX.Superintendent
Mewbone tells how much the pen
itentiary cost in 1893:
Audited billspaid...$ l07,713.21
Audited bills unpaid 62,670.39
10 asa 60
Democratic average 13G,733.2O
--------
Excess by Mewbone S33,55O.40
These figures are from tie Off
cial reports. Why did Mr.. New
bone spend in 1898 the sum OF
$33, $50. 40 more than Mr.. Leaz
er averaged during the four years
he was at the helm? One answer
is that Mr.. Mewbone had a gang
of second class politicians, an in
cOmpptent board. and is a Door
manager.

10 the navy department from Rear

10 have Sampson, in his capacity as the

brother hrro of Manila. Admiral
Schlcy will bc in New York at that
Time, but in no official capacity, lie
will be there simply because as an
American citizen he has an inalicnablc
right TO. Nothing had occurred to
mar the spectacle OF one hero greeting
another and welcoming him home, I'M
I'll this disquietiug news was received
from lIowison IIowison is Samp-
sons senior and IL he gets there before
the celebration, he will outrank that
officer and take command. The naval
regulations require it, Howison Is
simply nm old friend of Dewey and
would like TO be on hand when his
friend has his triumph. The navy de-
partmcnt officials have pointed out,
whenever this danger was suggested,
to lIowison's itinerary, which calls for
his arrival on October ., and have con-
hdently proclaimed that he will not
get there before then, Notwithstanding
the fact that lIowison has been ahead
of his schedule right along, They are
now busily engaged in figuring out
that he cannot get to Tompkinsville
in less than eight days, but Others
think he can do II easily in seven.

Omaha, Sept, 2G,--A novel defense is
set up by the managers Of the Moorish
palace in case in which they ape sued
by J. j. Hanighen, plumbing cOntrac-
tor. The case was heard by Justico
Foster and is II suit over n disputed ac'
count.
Attorney Stricliler, for the defend
ants, resisted the attempt to collect a
bill ON the grounds that the master
plumbers association is u TRUST, and ao-
corling to the statute passed in 1897 its
members cannot collect money duo
them, such being the provision of that
statute.
The reply of the plaintifn TO this is
that the association is nota trust, but
trade union, and that If it is trust
the statute is unconstitutional,
