RADlCALSW WISH HAIR M0NY
AFTER A MAN TO UNITE "INSUR-
GENTS" AND "REGULARS."
PRITCHARD SAID TO Be WELL BACKED
Spencer Blackburn Also Wants It. Some Of
the Prominent Democrats Who Will
Ask for the Nomination From
Their Party.

A gentleman now in the city from ode
menIt afoot to down Congressman Linney,
the ''Bull of the Brushes" for the NOM
nation when the Republican convention
Of that district meets.
The MAN who is to lead the onslaught
on the redoutable Linney is eX-Sheriff
George X. Pritchard of Mitchell county,
n brother of Senator Pritchard and at
present an employee in the United States
Senate Pritchard is said to have strong
backing and it is presumed, of course,
that Senator Plitchard's Influence will
be thrown into the scale for him. 1t is
said that the movement for his nominal
tion is developing more strength than
was expected.
1T is well remembered that in 1898
there was formidable bolt against Ln-
ney and the breach in the party has not
been healed. The insurgents" still have
their knives out for Kinney and the con-
sentative members of the party say that
if he is re-nominated he will meet
Modder River at the polls. What is
wanted, they say, is q man who can
poll the full strength of the party. Drum
mer Boy" Spencer Blackburn wants the
nomination so badly, that his teeth are on
edge but he is not regarded as available
timber against the ''Bull."
Then, too, since the last campaign the
counties constituting the Eighth have
been changed Cleveland, CASTOR and
Mitchell county have been put into the
district, and Yadkin and Davie both died.
inlthe-wool Republican counties, have
been taken out. The district is now nor
mally Democratic and the anti-Lnney
men say there are no votes to be thrown
away.
The friends of prominent Democrats,
in the district are also beginning to urge
their names for the nomination. W. G..
Newlands, of Lenoir, who was here re-
Gently said he would be a candidate.
Other potential opponents of Pritchard
or Linney, or whoever wins out to lead
the Republican forlorn hope, are j. H..

FUNERAL OF DROWNED BOYS.
The Largest Church Funeral Ever
Known In Raleigh.

The funeral of Masters Mial William
son and Edwin Lee, who were drowned
at Hinton's pond Saturday, was held
Sunday afternoon at EdentOn Street
Methodist church, and they were Inferred
in lakewood cemetery. The funeral Of
Master James Hinton, their friend III
life and their companion in death, was
held yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
from the Hinton residence in the country,
and the interment was in the family
burying ground.
Both funerals were attended by great
crowds of people. That of Edwin Lee
and Mial Williamson here Sunday was
perhaps the largest church funeral ever
held i'm this city. Not only every seat in
the church-whch is the largest in the
city-was occupied, but the aisles and
vestibules and every foot of standing
room were thronged with people anxious
to join in the last tribute to these noble
young boys, so suddenly cut down by
the Dread Reaper. Then outside there
must have been several hundred peo-
pie who could not get into the church
at all.
The time fixed for the funeral was
3:15 o'clock, but long before that hour
the church was crowded The old and
the young were there, to mingle their
tears alike. The school mates of the
dead boys were there, headed by their
teachers, Mr. Morson The members
and teachers of their Sunday school class
were also there in body. And many
hundreds of the people of Raleigh, of all
classes and ages.
Among them all there was hardly dry
eye, as the two caskets were brought in,
covered with white flowers, emblematlc
of the purity and innocence of youth.
The pall-bearers were classmates OF
the deceased. The Baskets were placed
side by side in front of the pulpit.
THE Lord has given and the Lord
hath taken away, blessed be the name of
the Lord" The words of the Rev. Mr..
Smith, reading the funeral services of
the Methodist church, were broken only
by a sob.
And as if in answer to the solemn
words Mr.. Chas. Newcomb sang:
Sometime, sometime, We'll under
stand"
Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling
place in all generations" read Rev. DIR.
Daniel, of the First Presbyterian church,
from the Nineteenth Psalm.
"Thy will, o Lord, be done," was the
burden Of the prayer offered by the
Rev. DIR. Simms, of the Tabernacle Bap-
fist church.
And like a soothing balm over the sor-
rowing soul came, on the wings of song.
the words, "Why do you call this dying,
this sweet going away" 1t was a solo
most sweetly sung by Miss Minnie
Fitch Tucker.
This completed the services in the
church. The procession to the cemetery
was very long one. The funeral being
a double one, there was a double pro-
cession, the hearses bearing the caskets
side by side, as were also the carriages

THERE ARE 1882 PUPILS
AND THE PER CAPITA APPOR-
TIONMENT IS $1.4O.
SCHOOLS RUN FIVE MONTHS THIS YEAR
Supt. Clements Says the Need in Wake County
is Not so Much Longer Term as
Law to Make Parents Send to
the Terms we Have,

The Wake County School Board met
Yesterday in the office of Superintendent
Clements to determine upon the per
capita apportionment of the public school
funds for Wake county. The per capita
as determined on at the meeting was
81 40 for each child of school age in the
county. Apart from this there was made
last spring an apportionment of ten cents
per capita, part of which is still unex-
pended, and Superintendent Clements
said yesterday that he regarded it as
probable that by March the Board would
be able to make an additional per capita
apportionment of 30 cents, giving total
per capita of public school money for the
fiscal year of SI.SO.
Speaking of the schools of the county,
Superintendent Clements said they were
never in better condition. 1--WE hope to
be able to run the public schools five
months in Wake county this winter" he
continued. ",The fact of the business is
j find that we have money enough to run
the schools as long as the majority of
patrons in the country will send their
children, and apparently what is needed
now is not so much longer school term
as q compulsory attendance law to make
parents send their children to the schools
we already have"
The returns from the several townships
of the county have been compiled by
Superintendent Clements and show that
there are 9,743 white and SITS colored
children in the county of school age,
giving a total of 1881 for both races.
The total amount of the county's public
school fund is $25,929.40 of which the
whites get $13,640.20 and the colored
people So, 2S9.20.

RALEIGH SAVINGS BANK.
Stockholders Choose Directors. Officers
Elected For New Year.

The stockholders of the Raleigh Saw

yesterday morning and elected the follow
ing directors for the ensuing year: John

V. ID. Turner, j. G.. Drewry. A. r. An
drews, Jr., j. f. Ferrall, ii. II. Litch-

Immediately after the stockholders
adjourned the directors of the bank met
and elected the following officers:
President, John T. Pullen
Nice-President, G.. Rosenthal.
Cashier, James o. Litchford.
Attorney, w. B. Snow.
The following compose the investing
committee: V. e. Turner, III. f. Itch
ford, n. w. West, with the officers of
the bank as ex-officio members.
The bank at the meeting was shown to
be in excellent condition, the deposits
having increased some $4,000 during the
past year and are now over 100000.
Nearly ten thousand dollars in interest
was paid to depositOrs last year, which
proves what an excellent well managed
bank is to any community. The loans
and securities of the bank were shown
to be of the highest order. The stock
of the bank commands a price that is
probably unexcelled by any banking
house i'll the State.
The election of Mr.. John r. Pullen to
the presidency of the bank was well
deserved promotion. He became cashier
when it began at a nominal salary, and
its great success has been chiefly due to
the unbounded confidence the people have
in his sterling integrity. ''John Pullen's
bank" as it is popularity called, has been
Raleigh's biggest success.
The promotion of Mr. IitchfOrd is a
deserved promotion. He is one of the
most capable young business men in Raj
eigh and one of its coming financial lead
ers.
