Viting Dr.. J. !. N. Curry to Address

ard hot political fighting in the House.
The speech making was done in the
course of electing Hon. F. M. Simmons
United States Senator Upon Mr.. White.
OF Jones fell the honor of placing the
distinguished candidates name before the
House. and nobly did he bear that honor.
His speech was a type of the polished
Statesman'S effort, and met with pro-
longed applause from the House and gal
leries, which were filled with spectators.
Mr.. Gattis of Orange, seconded the
nomination with an eloquent and forceful
account of the candidates leadership of
the Democratic party from defeat and
encouragement to the present glorious
triumph of complete white supremacy.
1t was a truly great speech that Mr..
Simms made, beautifully worded. power
fully put, and noble in sentiment. The
references to General Carr were pecu-
liarly graceful and appropriate 1t is to
be regretted that Mr.. Simms did not
write this speech, but as much of it as
could be obtained will appear in this pa-
per.
The Republican candidate was Rich
mond Pearson. He was nominated by Mr..
Benbow, of Yadkin, and seconded by
Messrs. Blythe, of Henderson and Mas
tin, of Wilkes.
The vote was So to IS for Mr.. Sim
mons
The political debate was all about invit-
ing Hon ]. L. NJ Curry Sccretary-Treas-
llrer of the Peabody Fund, to deliver an
address before the General Assembly
Some of the members, prominently Messrs
Curtis. of Buncombe. and Whitaker. of
Forsyth. did not want to extend the
honor to him because he was known to
have used his influence to seat Richmond
Pearson in Congress, unseating VIM. T.
Crawford This ground was gone over
in the Senate the other day, also, it will
be remembered
An important bill introduced was one
by Mr. Thompson, of Onslow, to tax gross

it's third reading.
The bill TO authorize the town of Frank

poses passed its third and final reading
end was sent TO the House without en-
grossment.
The bill to facilitate the business OF
the General Assembly was reported un-
favorably by the Committee on Rules
Judge Connor, of Wilson. chairman of the
committee, said that. while the committee
considered most of the provisions of the
bill exceedingly good they nevertheless
feared that some confusion would result
from their adoption at this time He
said he would like to see some of those
requirements mentioned in the bill incor-
pOrated in the rules of the House. He
thought the section on printing the
journal especially commendable
Mr. Whitaker said his only motive was
to save time and money and that the pro-
visions of the bill were in vogue in other
States which are progressive, and have
been found to work splendidly in those
States
II don't like he said ito see our
State satisfied with the old stage coach
method of getting over the ground. or
with the tallow dip in these days of cleo
trio light l must confess that the re-
marks of the chairman do not seem to
me TO be in harmony with his report If
the bill is good why not adopt it?'
Judge Connor said it was not always
wise to do wise thing. Il don't think
it is so much a question of getting in
line with progressive ideas as of proceed
ing safely and wisely. We feared there
might be confusion in the printing of the
journal on account of keeping so many
forms set until the end of the session.
Mr.. Whitaker then explained that the
forms could be pied just as soon as the
requisite number of each form had been
printed.
Mr.. Gattis called attention to the fact
that the contract with the State Printer
ran out on the 23rd of this month, and

TO PROCLAIM TIE KING.
Preparations in Progress. 1t Promises to be
Most Imposing Pageant.
(By the Associated Press.

London. jan 22.-Lord Clarendon, the
new Lord Chamberlain, with Prince
Christian, of Schleswig- Holstein, and the
Duke of Argyll arrived at Osborne this
afternoon. 1t is the Lord Chamberlain
who, with the Archbishop of Canterbury,
announces TO new monarch his acces-
sion to the throne.
At the offices of the Lord Chamberlain,
at the ST. James palace; of the City Re-
membrancer, at the Guild Hail. and at the
College of Heralds, the officials were busy
even before the death of the Queen was
announced, preparing for the formalities
which will attend the proclaiming of a
new ruler of the United Kingdom and In
dia. All the ancient gazettes, court cir
culars and other papers which describe
the ceremonial of 1887 had been taken
from the libraries, that the officials may
familiarize themselves with the forms of
pageantry whereby a sovereign is pro-
claimed. The City Remembrance said
toda--:
1T will depend on the pleasure of the
new monarch to decide how far the an
cient customs will be modified to suit
modern methods, but in country where
precedents are so firmly adhered to as in
England, it may be anticipated that we
shall follow closely on the acts which
prevailed when the Queen ascended the
throne.
THE Privy Council, which is a very
large body, will meet at once at st.
James Palace. The form of proclamation
will declare that We ETC. with one
voice and consent of tongue and heart
declare and proclaim that the high and
mighty Prince Albert Edward ETC., by
the dtath CT the monarch, has become our
only lawful and rightful liege.
This proclamation will give the new
title the King may assume but this is
not yet announced to us. The proclama-
tion will then be sent to the Heralds Col
lege and the following day the Earl Mar
shall the Garter King at Arms and other
officials the college members, with the
household troops, will proceed from the
palace, clad in their splendid surcoats
The arrangements are practically COM
plete for meetings of the Privy Council
and Parliament, the statutes providing
that they shall assemble Immediately on
the death of a sovereign. The privy
councillors could gather together within
a few hours. The ministers will attend
give up their seats of office, be re-
sworn, receive the proclamation of the
new king, pass votes of coincidence and
congratulation and adjourn.
After giving up their seats the minis
ters will receive them back from the
new ruler. The privy councillors will
also be sworn afresh.
Parliament will assemble within twen-
ty-four hours of the death of the Queen,
in accordance with the precedent in the
case of George III.
Emperor Williams yacht Hohenzollern
has been ordered to leave Kiel imme-
diately. She is expected to arrive at Cowes
Friday. No arrangements have yet been
made for Emperoro Williams return to
Germany, which is dependent upon event
ualities.

relieved him of his sufferings. The re-
mains were accompanied to his home at
Elkton by members of the student body.
Mr.. Shaw entered the University last
fall and made an excellent record. He
was popular with all the boys and by
his splendid efforts and excellent char
acter was very much beloved by the
