The Sale Of the Market.

To the Editor: | notice i'll your issue OF March
14th you say: Market house must be sold
this is the only way TO get an auditorium.
] must differ with you as to the necessity
of selling the present site of the market house
in order to secure an auditorium. | am in
favor of building an auditorium, and think the
only way to get is is for the city to build il.
/ believe majority of our citizens are of the
same opinion. Why not ask the Legislature
which meets in June, to submit to the voter;
a twenty-five thousand dollar bond issue for tho
purchase of a site and the building OF an audi
torium / know some will say we nave nae
enough of bonds now; you expect this, but TIM
is the only practical way of getting an audlto
rum. Mr.. A. who has a small amount OF prop
ertv will contribute $100 towards auditorium;
Mr. B. who has ten times much property 'and
who will be benefited ten times as much a.
Mr. A. will not give a cent ] say, therefore
let it come out of all our citizens pro rata. This
is fair and Just and the only practical way =
TO issue bonds and build the auditorium. 1t

MOREHEAD WINS
NEXT ASSEMBLY
Wilmington Lacked TheHotel
Accommodations.
RATES WERE TOO HIGH
Committee Decided at Meeting Held
in Greensboro.
THE "fATTED CALF" IS TO Be KILLED
A Letter From Secretary Mebane Setting Forth
the Considerations That Caused More
head to be Chosen Over
Wilmington.

The executive committee of the Teach
er's Assembly met at Greensboro Tues
day night and after a session lasting
several hours decided to hold the next
session of the Assembly at Morehead.
There were two bidders for it-More-
head and Wilmington. The advantages
afforded and the inducements offered by
both places were fully discussed, and
finally Morehead was selected
The reasons that influenced the COM
mittee in making this choice are set
forth in the following letter sent yester-
day by Secretary Mebane to the chair
man of the Wilmington committee:
Raleigh, y. c., March il, 19C0
Mr.. Marcus W. jacob, Wilmington, N c.:
''Dear Sir: The committee considered carefully
and long the place for holding the next Teach
er's Assembly last night at Greensboro, and final
ly concluded that the Assembly could not go tc
Wilmington for three reasons:
'.First-We could not afford TO require any
number of the teachers to pay 81 per day at the
hotel of Wilmington, when had the o*er
of first class hotel fare at Morehead for 81 PEI
day. In other words the poorest teacher az
Morehead is on the same footing with the wealth
lest man in the State.
''Second-Our people would necessarily be scat
tered over the city and more difficult to get
together for the convention work of the As
sembly.
'Third-Every individual who buys our cou.
pom tickets from the railroads is entitled to
whatever courtcsies special privileges are Civ
en- to us, and it would be possible that some
tough citizen might get into some good prl
yate home and do us as an organization harm
The main reason was the hotel charges. il
the orion House would have given us 81 pea
day rates, we would have tried to manage the
rest.
THE committee appreciates most sincerely The
great interest shown by the good people of vii
mington in having the Assembly at Wilmingt6s
this year, and wish to assure you and your PEG
pie that we have tried to do our duty to tht
Assembly whose official representatives, we are
as well as give a careful consideration to thu
offers you have kindly rendered US.
Il hope the hotel managers may yet see thei
way at some future day to make it possible fol
the Assembly to come to Wilmington.
with thanks for personal cowteses shown
me by you and your good people.
~ am, yours truly,
&C. H. MEBANE,
For the Committee
The letter notifying the owners of the
hotel at Morehead of the selection Of that
place for the next meeting was as fol-
lows:
Raleigh, n. c., March Il. 1900.
Barbee & Company Raleigh, n. c.:
Dear Sir: On to Morehead is the or,
from mountains TO the We are com
ing. we are coming. So make ready TIN
our bodies and rings for fingers, bu' buy yon
very best goods for the inner man, and YOU
best beds for the weary teacher.

The Export of Raw Cotton.

The observations that have from time to time
been made as to the increased value OF the pres
ent small crop of cotton over the larger crop OF
previous years, and the predictions as TO even a
higher price yet for the staple, are emphasized
in the statement made public by the Govern
ment OF the country's exports during February
The value of the exports of raw cotton for Feb
ruary increased $l3,312,9 31 as compared with
February of last year, an increase greater than
was ever known before And while at the end
Of the first half of the fiscal year ending Feb
2S the exports of cotton where in value $4,000
CSC below those Of the same period in the pre-
vious year, they are now only S7,076,274 below
those of the same period in 1885, showing how
very rapidly the deficiency has been almost made
up. As the exports of the article ore now going
on ,ininterluptedly; as the reserve stocks in Eng
land. where are the chief buyers, are still les
by one-third than those of last year, and as the
price at which cotton is sold is at much higher
range of values than prevailed in 1892 it is clear
that the money received for the cotton crop o.
1891 800 so far from being below that OF the
previous wear. will indeed be enormously above it

PriZe-Fighting in Virg; MIA.

North Carolina, it seems is not the only SCAT
that needs 4 revision Of its legislative methods
There's Virginia for instance, whose methods
of law-making are about as primitive as our own
and the evils resulting from them arc the same
in both cases.
Since the adjournment Of the Virginia Legisa.
turc several bills of a more or less Objectionable
nature have come TO light, just as they always
do in North Carolina after the Solons are gone.
Among the laws of this kind just discovered i'll
Virginia is which legalizes prize-fghting in
that State. The act does not specifically men
ton prize-fghting but the term manly defence
covers the point. The charter provides that up
on the grounds of athletic association special
police named by the association shall be appoint
ed and shall have exclusive authority there. This
would operate to prevent ordinary police inter
ference, and there is no doubt that some nnC
ring encounters will be forthcoming and purses
offered to bring of the lights of the prizt
ring TO Richmond The incorporators, several o
whom are well known, have not yet selected th'
grounds, but plans for the clubhouse are beine
prepared and several sites being examined
II is feared that in case of the repeal of tn,
Horton law in New York, Virginia <vill becom
a paradise for the followers of the ring.

must be DONE l agree with you there, but
don't let's rush in without taking time to con
slider it and sell our valuable site where the
market now is for even s50,o00 when probably
in the next few years it will be worth 100000
Why only a short time ago Mr.. Drewry dis
covered that the city owned 4s7 shares OF
Raleigh and Augusta Railroad stock, and as the
pump department was in need of funds he re-
commended the sale of this stock as it had
been lying idle so long. and had brought the
city in no income. Well it was sold-$6, 00(
was added to the pump fund and it all
gone. Today this stock is worth S23,C0 more
than it was sold for-enough to build audi
forum. This is lessen for us go slow or
such important matters.
The company OF which Mr. Drewry is presi.
dent has made a bid for the market of 10000
they may come to the limit of so, Coo. Is not
the city of Raleigh as able TO own this proper
" as any other individual or corporation? Can't
they make the improvements?
I am not so much opposed to the moving OF
the market, but ] am opposed to the selling OF
the valuable site. If the city wants TO buy a
site and build modern market / am in favor
of it.
l am also opposed to the city's buying the
present city lot for $4,000, as 5000 would be
a big price for it, 1t is only listed for $500
for taxation. If it is even cut up into lots it
would not bring more than $1,000. The city
only pays S2o0 rent for it now; if we We're to
buy it at $4,000 the interest on our money at
per cent would be $500 more in addition to
the rent we are now paying. There is not more
than 2ls or pa acres in the city lot.
/ say an auditorium can be built if half the
energy and influence is used, that will be done
in an effort to sell the market house.
Let's build an auditorium!
Let's keep the city hall!
Very respectfully,

P|T|ABLE PLIGHT
OF SUPREME COURT
What Will the Judges do in
Whites Case?
THE0PHILUS WANTS PIE
But It's a Hard Problem to Find a Way
to Give it to Him.
A DILEMMA WITH THREE SHARP HORNS
And the Court is Not lust at Present Tumbne
Over Itself to Get on Any of them--
Political Cases Recently
decided
Decided.

The Supreme court is in San awful fix
over the white" (shell-fish commission
case-what salary they shall say Theophi-
lus is entitled to.
Here are the horrors of the dilemma
presented to the learned fusion judges
none of which they seem eager to seize:
Either the court must back down or
practically nullify their office decis-
ions in Day" and other cases.
Or go to their logical conclusion by
ordering the Treasurer to pay their APP
pointees which may force a legislative
clash
Or evade it by holding up the decision
until after the Legislature adjourns in
June.
The Supreme court has at this term
filed five decisions in office contest cases
three yesterday closing out the list. All
five are written by Judge Clark and ali
are by a unanimous court. They are:
l. Mitchell VS.. Alley, over justices of
peace in Franklinton township. Decision
for Democratic candidates.
2. Corners VS.. Gill, over superintendent
of poor house in Vance. Decision practi-
cally for new Democratic incumbent
3. White VS.. Murray, over criminal
court clerk for Madison. Decision for new
Democratic) clerk.
4. Dowtin VS.. Beardsley, over superin-
tendent of roads in Warren. Decision also
for new officer but who strangely enough
happens to be Republican.
). Baker VS.. Hobgood, over superinten-
dent of schools in Granville. Decision for
appointee of cid (Republican) board.
There only remains for decision the ex-
ceedingly important question whether
White can draw pay, Notwithstanding the
Legislature forbade. The court, as above
stated, seems slow to tackle it, If it
holds the Legislature can forbid payment
to one holding office contrary to it's en-
actment then all their office decisions that
an office is contract become a farce. for
the Legislature in June can empty every
Office, not named in the Constitution by
forbidding pay to all like White claiming
contrary to legislative enactment. On the
other hand, if the court asserts power to
take charge of the Public Treasury and
order payments made by the Treasurer
contrary to legislative enactment, then
the court is the whole government lin its
opinion) and the Legislature is unmistak
ably challenged to assert itself.
The situation demonstrates most clearly
the absurdity of the court asserting that
a purely governmental function, like the
creation and filling Offices by the Legis-
lature is a contract and that the court
in this State contrary to the ruling in
the rest of the WORLD can interfere in
this legitimate exercise of power by the
Legislature.

THE AUDITORIUM ELECTION
Raleigh Must Have anAuditorium or Lose Cou.
ventions.

Next Monday the voters OF Raleigh will
say at the polls whether they favor SELL
ing the market house and using the
money to build an auditorium and market
house at some other place in the city.
This is a very important matter and
ought to be fully discussed from all
standpoints. 1t ought to be borne in
mind that the only thing to vote on is
the sale of the Market House for not
less than $1,000. The location of the
Market House and auditorium will be de-
termined afterwards, and no site will be
selected without inviting the views of
the people of the city.
