Hon. Needham B. Broughton, of Wake.
was born in Wake county on the 14th cay
Of February, 1S4S and has spent his
entire life in the county of his birth.
He enjoyed no early advantages and is
a self-made man. In his boyhood he
learned the printers trade and shortly
after the war, in eo-partnership with Mr.
c. b. Edwards, began a printing estab-
lishment in the city Of Raleigh on small
scale 1t grew year by year until It is
now the largest establishment of its kind
in the State. Mr.. Broughton has always
taken deep interest in public affairs,

Democrats for the House in 1896. He was
elected, but the fusion legislature de-
frauded him of his seat. In 1900 he was
nominated for the State Senate and elect
ed by a large majority, after making
magnificent campaign No man in this
generation has possessed a larger meas
ure of the confidence of the people of
Wake county than Senator Broughton,
and his record in the Senate has justified
that confidence. 1t may be truly said
that he is the leading Baptist layman Of
Central North Carolina. He is secretary
OF the Baptist State convention, trustee
of the Baptist Female University and
Wake Forest College, and is a leader of
almost every enterprise of his church.
He is superintendent of the Baptist Tab
ernacle Sunday School, the largest Sunday
School in the State. He carries his re-
ligion into his politics and always votes
on the side Of morality and the better
ment of the people. In the last Legisla-
ture he was leader in all movements
for education and made a senator OF

New York. March 23.--The dry goods

table change in prices of brown, bleached

COTTON.
New York March 23.-The cotton
market opened weak at decline of from
eight to eleven points. with May at 79s;
July at 1886 and October stationary UNI
til there was general return to the
opening figures, sellers being scarce on
reports that the Liverpool market had
been sold down to cause lower open
ing here. But again prices weakened
under renewed liquidation. The Eng
lish market opened partially 1-64d
higher. but closed at a net loss of IL
to 3-64d. The decline here made full
response which was hardly expected; the
Liverpool market being still proportion
ately much higher than the markets OF
this country. However. general feel
ing showed extreme caution with the
visible supply 471,000 bales ahead of
what it was last season and the move
ment pointing to a continued Increase
unless consumption improved, and of
this there is no immediate promise
while the amount in sight this week is
estimated at 145,000 to 10000 bales
against 100000 bales last year, 141,727
bales in 1899 and 1I2125 bales in $685.

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE.


A young man who affixed the name
OF Dorman E. Noggle to the Olympia
hotel register, was found dead in .
room OF that house, Tuesday evening.
He secured accommodations the pre-
vious night, about midnight, and after
he had retired nothing further was
heard from him, until an investiga-
ton was made, and finding his door
locked, it was forced open, and the
horrible ending Of q life revealed.
His body was found in bed, and on q
table beside it, two ounce bottles of
carbolic acid. bearing Seattle label
The victims mouth and face showed
the effects of the caustic acid Letters
were found in the suicides pockets,
evidently from his father, dated
at Oakland, Cal and as they were
written on U. S. mint letter sheets, IL
is supposed that he is an employee in
that institution. Their tone indicated
that the sou was addicted to drink
and = spendthriit, and for that reason
remittances were refused him. One
letter signed "Aunt Mary" from Sc
attic, was not definite enough to es-
tablish the identity of the writer. The
man was absolutely penniless. Not
cent was found in his pockets. but
three pawn-tickets for jewelry in
pledge at Seattle, we're in evidence of
his hard financial straights. He had
no baggage of any sort, and il seems
absolutely that he had arrived at the
jumping off place. Deceased was ap-
parently about % years Of age.
Coroner Hartsock took charge Of
the body and notified the father of
the sad occurrence. Later on, the
Coroner received directions from the
father to send the body to Oakland.

There is nothing truer of audiences
than that to make them a success to

when they pay their money to take
their choice. The transcendsntal
strains ELECTED from the piano by Pa.

tune the soul to melody. On the
former visit, the enthusiastic applause
that was accorded to selection from
" II Trovatore," which was veritable
oasis in broad desert devoted to key
board gymnastics, should have suR-
gested to Mr.. Schramm that common
sense directs the adoption of sensible
means of entertainment.
One would suppose that the depart

the performance had closed, would, in

seems there are exceptions.

Why is it that the persistent and

opposition from a majority Of the ac-

permanent prosperity.
