Jail at Nashville. An immense crowd
will be present at the hanging, which is
set for March 18th. Taylor is said to
manifest little care about his impending
fate He is by far the more intelligent
of the two. Fortune is much concerned
about the matter.

A Beautiful Life.

To the Editor: Last Thursday just as the sun
rose over the cleaning waters Of the Chesapeake
our children's Nanny" Sallie ). Haywood,
passed away in one of those fair cloud mlsts that
softly swept country home in Nir-
gnia. Her end was singularly peaceful and hap
py. She had faithfully served two generations
of children; the Smedes children in Raleigh and
our in Boston and New York. From that
day in Raleigh thirteen years ago when she
took first born in her arms down to the
time our three little ones passed from the nursery
into the hustle of child's joyous life, my wife
has never known a nights worry with babe
Aunt Sallie was nurse, mother, house-keeper,
companion and teacher of life,s deep truths.
Up to the day she took her bed only ten days
before her death, she bright, active and
happy, watching her last brood OF children bud
into manhood and womanhood, strolling beneath
the giant trees on the lawn at Elmington Manort
caring for the chickens and turkeys, or seated
by a blazing log fire in the own room in the
servants quarters surrounded by an admirlng
group OF negroes. as she talked with native
eloquence of faith and life, love and God.
She one of the most beautiful characters
| have ever known. She belonged to the old re-
gime of the old South, with its gentle ways, its
lofty dreams. its scorn for meanness, its chlyal-
~ and loyalty to friendship.
Yet she welcomed the new and larger life
while she cherished the beautiful in the old.
She was loyal to the negro race, sacrificing Hber
ally from her savings for their churches ana
schoos-and yet ] always thought she felt more
keenly and painfully, her soul kinship with the
white race that predominated in her blood. Her
photograph whose lights and shadows hide the
t,lre and refinement. She both. The child
of passion unhallowed by the laws OF social
convention, yet she was a pure woman in every
fibre of her womanly nature. BY social and
political accident she born slave, and yet
She belonged to the nobility-to that aristocracy
of character larger than classes and clothes, race
or color that circles the earth sweeping through
the centuries to the dawn of humanity and
stretching forward through the ages to the hour
of its redemption.
She belonged to a generation of servants that
helped to make Southern life a poem. They
are swiftly passing. These women have been
a mighty force in forming the character OF
Southern manhood and womanhood. We cannot
TOO highly honor them. The worship OF God IS
the service of man. All else is pomp and
pride and hollow form. All honest labor ID
human service is the highest expression OF rellg-
ION Christ said: Il came not to be minister
cd unto but to minister" As the Father sent
me, | send you"
1t is Just as honorable and noble TO sweep
The floor and answer the cry OF a child as to be
the Queen of an Empire, provided the service
rendered is the best we can give to our feiloW
men.
We speak her name softly in our home for a
little boys lips culver and little girl bursts
into tears if it is suddenly spoken. We shall

Been Made Against Them.

Hereafter the North Carolina building
to themselves within our borders and
will have no foreign competitors to trou-
bic them.
All the building and loan associations
organized under the laws of other States,
save only the Columbian, of Richmond,
Va, are declining to renew their licenses
TO do business in the State as fast as
they expire. The reason they give for this
is that under the laws, and the decisions
of the Supreme court in this State, they
are not allowed to make over six per cent
on their loans.
The companies that have refused TO
renew their licenses and are winding up
their affairs are:
Definite Contract Building and Loan
Association, Norfolk, Va.
National Railway Building and Loan
Association, Atlanta, Ga.
Old Dominion Building and Loan Assoc
citation, Richmond, Va.
Southwestern Building and Loan Asso-
citation, New Orleans, La.
United Banking and Trust Company,
Richmond, Va.
This leaves in the State just even thirty
companies, all save one, as stated, being
organized under the laws of North Caro-
lima and having their home offices in
this State.
The associations have been grumbling
for some years about the interest laws
and their departure is not the result OF
any new legislation or of any late decision
of the courts. AS a matter of fact the
principle that building and loan assOcia-
lions can not be permitted to exceed the
legal rate of interest was laid down by
the Supreme court in 1879 in OVERLY VS..
Building and Loan Association and has
been followed uniformly ever since. In
1895 the principle was somewhat elabo-
rated in Meroney VS.. Building and Loan
Association and that was the latest de-
cision affecting these interests.
The Corporation Commission act passed
at the 1899 session of the General AS
sembly took the supervision of the build
ing and loan associations from the Audi
tor and placed it with the Corporation
Commission, but imposed no new re-
strictions on such associations.

For Lieutenant Governor.

To the Democracy of the State OF North Caro-
lima:
The name of Hon. Robert L. Smith, State Sen.
ator from Stanly and Cabarrus will be presented
to the next Democratic Convention of the State
of North Carolina for the nomination of Lieu
tenant Governor. In placing Mr.. Smith before
the people / desire to say few words III ms
behalf.
He is man of the people, and one in whom
they have the utmost confidence and respect.
He is acquainted with the public affairs OF the
State, having been Stanly's Representative, ana
at present State Senator from the counties OF
Cabarrus and Stanly and President pro tenn OF
that body. His executive ability is unsurpassed
and as a paramentarian he is unrlvalled.
He is an able debater, an aggressive cam
pagner an uncompromising Democrat, and bit
ter foe to the Republican party.
His private character is pure and spotless, and
not word of reproach can be SAID against hn
If nominated he will make a notable campaign
for good government and white supremacy, and
being a leading and influential member OF the
last Legislature, he is on the inside or the work
ings and aims of the amendment to be voted
on and to this end will be in better position
to explain to the people its workings than
others who might receive the honor.
Stanly county, the home OF Mr.. Smith. has al
ways been found in the Democratic column, never
faltering when her sister counties slipped from
their moorings and were cursed with the faint
and blight of Popuism. She asks that the
Democrats of the great State of North Caro-
lima come to her aid by giving this honor to her
fayorite son, Hon. r. l.. Smith.

SPANISH PuNoTILlo.

Amusing Phase Of castilian Character

The Cabinet crisis which took place
In Spian in 1888 exhibits an amusing
phase of Spanish character. The minis
terial crisis had existed almost q year,
when the resignation of the Cabinet
took place as the result Of a trivial
question OF military etiquette. The
Queen hnd.left Madrid for an excursion
to Valencia, which the Minister Of JUS
tice insisted on her making, according
to the published arrangement, lest the
postponement should be construed as
q sign of fear Of the Zorillist republi-
cans, who had convoked a mass meet.

bel, who was left to represent her, de-
cided to take a journey also, and In
formed General Martinez Campos that
her sister, the Infanta Eulalie, would
give out the military watchword. The
military governor OF Madrid replied
that the married infanta was not legal
~ competent to perform that Office, and
that It was impossible, according to
military rules, for him to receive the
parole from her husband, Prince An.
tonic, Due de Montpensier. who was
only q captain In rank. The Minister
OF War, who was not on good terms
with the captain general, sent a brusque
telegram ordering him to receive the
password from the Princess Eufalie,
Whereupon General Campos offered his
resignation. All attempts to settle the
quarrel failed, and, as a majority Of the
Cabinet sided with the captain general,
General Cassola and the ministers who
had supported his view resigned thefr
portfolios. Senior Sagasta handed In
the resignation Of the entire Cabinet to
the Queen Regent, but subsequently,
upon the Iater's request, formed o new
ministry.
