nections to the new Shirt and Overall
FACTORY after drawing a permit. the
Council, on motion of Clerk S. J. Rev
nolds, granted an order remitting the
one dollar paid.
Chairman Walls of the Electric Light
and Water Committee, advanced a
good suggestion in wanting the en-
glnes at the Power House insured in a
company that would inspect them
twice a year, the same as is now being
done with the boilers. While there is
nothing the matter with the engines.
at the same time it might be money
well spent to the town in keeping them
In good repair by having them undergo
thorough inspection at stated inter
walls. Councilman Fowler moved that
Chairman Walls be instructed to look
into the matter and find the best rates
that could be made. The boilers are
inspected twice year and are fully in
sured for three years at cost of 800.
Council adjourned to meet on next |

RARE ASTRONOMICAL FEATURE.
A MOOnIess Month Has Not Occurred Since
February 1866.

A very rare astronomical feature he
longs to February, 1900; it will have
no new moon. Per contra, January
had two and March will have two.
This peculiar incident is due to the
fact that the last year of the century
is not reckoned as leap year, and that
even in ordinary leap years the moon
is new in February as in other months.
except at long intervals. A moonless
month has not occurred since Febru-
airy, 1856, and will not, it is said, occur
again for a vastly greater space of
time.

MARSHALS' BALL
Many Dancers Grace Last
Nights Ball.
The MarshaIs Presented an Opel Scarf Pin
Studded With Diamonds 10 Chief
Marshal W. T. Old.

The Marshals' Ball last night at the
it's line as the Fair. All the marshals
were there to bestow their handsome re-
gala of office upon the fair damsel OF
their choice. 1t was a representative
gathering of young people, and large
one. About seventy-five couples were
upon the floor, and the scene was a
beautiful and inspiring one. Everything
contributed to make the occasion great
one IN Fair annals. The weather was eX-
cellent for dancing, the floor was good
and so was the music, the girls were
fair, and the men were fine. What more
could be had?
The german was led by Mr.. B. w. Ba-
ker, in his usual clever style. The figures
were pretty and unique, and were well
carried out by the dancers. After few
figures had been danced, and as the wh1s-
tie blew to change, the presentation OF
the marshals regalia took place amid
much hand-clapping.
A little later, at the end of one of the
figures, when all the ladies were lined
up on one side, and all the men on the
other Marshal J. r. Young, of Hender-
son, stepped out and addressed Chief
Marshal w. T. Old. In the course of
some very graceful and humorous re-
marks, he presented, on behalf of the
marshals, a token of the occasion to
their chief, an opal scarf pin, studded
with diamonds. Mr.. Old accepted the
gift in a brief, but exceedingly appro-
pirate speech, at the close of which he
presented to each of the ladies a brooch
or stitch pin in the shape of a horseshoe
with a horses head and whip, as a
souvenir of the happy occasion.
The general opinion last night was
that the ball was by all odds the most
successful Marshals Ball known for
many years. and that Mr.. Old was one
of the most popular chief marshalls.

THE FOOTBALL GAME.
The Virginia Team Found the Tar Hesls Easy
Fruit

The football game played yester-
day afternoon at the Fair grounds by
the Virginia Polytechnic and A. and
NJ. College teams was a most interest
ing contest.
Though it was evident from the
start the Tar Heels were no match for
their Virginia opponents, still they
fought the game out bravely and to
the very last contested with all their
power and skill every foot of ground
upon the gridiron. The game was
throughout a snappy one.
The Virginia boys were not only
heavier than the North Carolina play
ers, but they were in better form and
training. The result was that with
rare exceptions the North Carolinians
were each time steadily forced back
toward their goal each time ending in
a touchdown for the Virginians.
The score was IS to 2, in favor of
Virginia. The latter made three
touch-downs and kicked three goals.
The North Carolina boys got theirs
on a safety.
The best of feeling prevailed
throughout the contest and the game
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large
crowd that witnessed it.

THE BULLOCK WILL CASE.
Yesterday Spent in Argument The Amour
Involved SO, 900.

Late yesterday evening the argu-
ment was concluded in the Jinsey Bull
lock will case, the jury charged, and
the case delivered to the jury. There
is much doubt as to how the case
will be decided, though it is thought
probable that the jury may disagree.
This case has been hotly contested,
a formidable array of counsel
having been employed on both sides,
and neither side left untouched any
point that would have weight with
either judge or jury.
The argument in this case was COM
menced on Thursday, large part of
that day having been consumed by
the speech of Mr.. r. II. Battle, who
opened the argument for the pro-
FOUNDER. He was followed by Mr.
II. E. Norris and Col. T. NJ. Argo for
the caveators, Mr.. Armistead Jones
closed the argument speaking in be-
half of the will. The delivery of the
last three speeches with the judges
instruction to the jury took up the
entire day yesterday. Mr.. Jones closed
his speech at about half past four
O'Clock, the issue was made up and
the jury took the case at 5.
The issue was for the jury was to
state whether or not, from the evil
dence the paper purporting to be the
will of Janette Bullock, or any portion
thereof constitutes the said will and
they are to designate such portion. 1t
is thought the decision of the jury
will be made known today.
The amount involved in the case is
So, 900. The facts leading up to the
contest are as follows: A son of Mrs.
Janette, or Jinsey, Bullock, went to
the Georgia turpentine orchards, and
in that business accumulated 100000
He died, and the money was divided
equally among six relatives-his moth
err and five brothers each getting 49,
333.
Mrs. Bullock later made her will,
devising $4,000 of her 1888 to Mrs.
Rambo, her niece, and gives NOZZLE
Bullock 500, stating in the will that
he has already received 5000 of her
amount from the estate. NOEL Bull
lock then had a guardian appointed
for Mrs. Jensie Bullock, declaring her
incapable of managing her affairs.
Upon her dealn, which took place
in her 74th year. a suit was brought
to annul the will. The trial OF this
case has consumed three days, and
it has been holly contested from
start to finish Its outcome is await
ed with interest.
