Our friend Thomas Goss, Esq,
has just returned from a pros
pecting through the Indian. Terri
tory. He stopped at Chickasha
a tlourishing, progressive town in
the territory, which he says is
destined to be one of the great
places of that section. 1t has
doubled its population in year,
now claiming about 5000. The
place supports a daily paper, the
Chickasha Daily Express, whose
motto is. "Chickasha first, the In
dian. Territory second; the world
AFTER The paper is a good one
and is full of advertising, indicat-
ing that the town is a live one.
Mr.. Goss, we understand, is
making preparations to at once
go TO this thriving western town
TO permanently locate. His glow
ing description of the country has
aroused a number of others aud
it would not be surprising if a
a number of our people did not
go out into that country.
The people of Cbickasba may
be assured, however, that in Mr..
Goss they will have a fellow-citi-
zen who will add strength TO the
place, for he is the kind we regret
to lOse.-The Tennesseean.

GRAND MILLINERY OPENINGS.
w Gather Very Favorable.
Decorations Beyond tire
Most Sanguine Ex-
pectations.

The society editor, protein re-
ceived invitations from all of our
millinery ladies yesterday TO be pres
ent at their openings which had
been previously advertised IN the
Express, co at about 1870, he picked
up his tablet and pencil and started
calling, first on Miss Lizzie Cope
land.
The handsome parlors of Miss
Copeland's millinery establishment
were we'll filled with visitors, and
the display of fine millinery IN the
latest STYLES, colors and tlnts were
something wonderful to contemplate
There were hats and turbans TO suit
everyone both young and old. Miss
Copeland had the windows and
doors blinded with the electric
lights tunred on, which made very
fine display. Over one Of her cases
she had different colored lights in
the shape of crescent with a five
pointed star underneath which was
a beauty. Here is where you can
find the swellest hats of this years
creation. Miss Copeland is ably
assisted by Miss Smith who is a
Strictly up-to-date thinner.
Madams Pettitfils & wilson were
the next upon whom we called and
there found a beautifully decorated
millinery parlor well filled witt hats
of the lateststyles. Here the editor
was courteously received and both
of the ladies tried hard to sell him
a hat but it was no go; he did
not have the price. These ladies
have very large and well selected
stock of all kinds of hats, either in
felts or velvets, with plumes ,quills,
and velvet ribbon of various colors, /
shades and tints. The parlor was |
filed with ladies trying on hats,
about hats, and every one
of them looked in the mirror every |
time she put a hat on her head.
Next we dropped in at the mil
Iinery parlor presided over by Mrs.
V. n. Sayer, where we saw on every |
hand the evidence of refined artistic
taste. From the beautiful display
1f hats one can but conclude that
the centers of fashion had been in

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
1t May be Far Reaching as to Street Paving
Pavements.

The case of T. Fl. Murray against the
City of Raleigh was heard on yesterday
in the Superior Court. This was an ac-
tion by Mr.. Murray to compel the city
to receive from him his city taxes. The
city had declined to allow him to pay
his taxes without also paying an assess
ment against his property for street inn
provements, which Mr.. Murray insisted
was invalid. The other relief demanded
by Mr.. Murray was to vacate the assess
ment against his property because no
notice had ever been given as required
by the city charter. When the case was
called the city through the city attorney
admitted that Mr.. Murray was entitled
to the relief demanded by him and judg-
ment was entered that the city tax collec-
tor be directed to receive from Mr. Muir
ray the city taxes due by him and to
give him a receipt therefor, and also
that the assessment against his property
for paving the street be stricken from
the tax list.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.
The Fusion Candidates Are Already Greatly
Discouraged.

The county canvass is proceeding
most satisfactorily for the Democrats.
They are getting the crowds and the
other fellows getting a, frost.
But for the negroes the FusionistS
would have no crowd at all to speak
to. and already they are becoming so
discouraged that there is talk of stop
ping the canvass altogether.
Such course is strongly urged by
some of the Republicans on the ticket.
The Democratic candidates, on the
other hand, are in fine spirits over
the manner in which they are
being received. Notwithstanding the
fact that people are exceedingly busy,
they are being greeted at all appoint
ments by as large crowds as have ever
been known in any county canvass
At Brassfields yesterday there were
1875 people who gave close attention
to the speeches.
Last night they spoke at Falls. but
no report has been received from
there. Today they will be at Roles
Vile.
Mr.. Y. B. BroughtOn, who knows the
people of the county we'll and is al
ways conservative in his estimates,
says he thinks there will hardly be a
Democrat in the county who will vote
against the amendment when the
campaign in Wake is completed.
The FusiOnists spoke yesterday at
Eagle Rock and also at Milbur-
ME. A handful of negroes constituted
their audience at both places.
So far only three of their candi-
dates are making the canvass: Hill
King, Haywood Knight and Stancil.
King does the speaking, the other
two making a simple announcement.
AT Milburnie | heard him." said
Mr.. Joseph Blake last night. He
spoke for an hour and a half-and
such a scrappy, patched-up. rambling,
rag-time speech you never heard. His
audience were as silent as the grave
all the way through, not a cheer or
a grunt. AND it negro audience,
too
FINALLY he said: We'll, I believe
that's about all | wanted to say to
you Now I'll tell you a joke. There
was fellow that had a sweetheart
He loved her mighty well, but he was
too bashful to tell her. He'd look at
her and wish he Just could summon
up enough courage to tell her. But
he couldn't, but one day he slipped up
behind her and kissed her, and he
kissed her so hard that it sounded
like a COW pulling her foot out of the
mud
THAT'S all there was of the joke
concluded Mr.. Blake ut didn't seem
to have any application and less point,
but it made the negroes laugh and
applaud. And that was all the APP
plause the Fusion candidates got at
Milburnie.'

would be sent by express in a sealed
package, but none of the remittances that
go by express money order from the GAG
express offices where there are no banks
could go as bank exchange.
Out of 314 places where the Southern
Express Company issue money orders, it
is only the business at 6S of these places
that could possibly go into the hands OF
the banks, if the bank got all this bust
ness, but it is matter of fact that
this business will go by the postohife
and not by the bank.
4 If the Express Company should discon-
tinue this part of it's business, the people
at 246 places in North Carolina would
have no means of buying bank checks.
There have been addresses like that of
Mr.. Sawyer's, delivered before the Bank
ing Association of several States. have
no doubt that many bankers are sincere
in their idea that this business hurts
them. But l know it doesn't.
/ think the sentiment on the subject
has been worked by man formerly in
the express service, who left his position,
and he is working on the bankers to get
up an arrangement like the Express
Money Order System, whereby he can get
a Job
OF course they are to think this BUSH
ness is a great source of revenue.
The income we get on this business
averages $1,000 per agency per annum,
and the money goes all over the country.
1t is folly to say we do not have to remit
money to meet these receipts for money
to be delivered elsewhere.
How does the speaker in this case know
or think he is hurt?
In Asheville there are two banks, one
postoffice and one express office.
The banks have the shortest business
hours. The express office keeps open the
longest of'all. The express office receives
an average of 5000 per month for the
transmission of money orders by express.
Many OF such remittances could 20 IN
sealed packages, and would-if parties
could not get money orders.
But suppose the express money order
system is abolished and that none of this
business would go by express? Where
would it go? What is the matter with
your Uncle Samuel? He does the biggest
money order business on record. He
keeps open later than the banks. But
suppose only one third went to the post
office and one third to each of the two
banks. They would all get $3.43 per
month each gross revenue with their
expenses to come out.
Would the president of bank deprive
the people of this convenience for the
heritage involved?

NEW PLAYERS ON RALEIGH TEAM.
Four Will Sign Today and Fifth is on the
Wav Here


Though the Raleigh baseball team has
had some hard luck in the beginning
of the season. it has not-yet lost hope of
winning the penant. In fact, her hopes
for taking in the trophy are very bright.
Today four new crack players will be
added to the team, while fifth one is on
the way here and it is likely that a sixth
will come The players who will sign to-
day are:
Stidhant, second baseman, from Altoona,
Pa.
Atkinson, third baseman, from Balti-
more.
Burbank, left field, from Baltimore.
Horne pitcher from Baltimore.
The other player that has been engaged
is also a pitcher, and is said to be a very
fine one.
OF course these additions to the team
will make it necessary to drop a number
of those now on the team. Who these
will be has not yet been determined.
Raleigh may we'll strengthen her team
at this time, as far as may be in her
power, for tomorrow she begins a series
OF games that will very largely determine
the contest. These games are with the
following teams:
Tarboro at Raleigh, on Friday and Sat-
urday.
Statesville, two games, at Statesville.
Charlotte, two games, at Charlotte.
Durham, two games, one at Raleigh
and one at Durham.
