THE A. AND M. ORATORS.
The Method by Which They are Chosen Has
Been Changed.

The selection Of the class orators at
the A. and Nj. College from the Senior
class has so far been the most decided
move toward their commencement ex-
crcises. which will probably be held in
the city this year. The custom of Sc
lection this year varies slightly from
the old way, but proves one OF equity
and right. The faculty Of the college
have decided to have five orations by
five of the graduating class which have
been selected as follows: Two from the
class by the faculty by reason of their
past four years of scholarship and high
standing. They are Mi. Fletcher, Hess
Barnhardt, Norwood. Stanley county,
and Mr.. VIM. DolIison Facette, Hail
fax county One by the Senior Glass,
MIR. Jesse James Lilies, Wadesboro, An
son county. One BY I.aazar Literary
Society, Mr.. II. Wilhelm, l3onitz, of Will

the Pullen Literary Society, Mr. Mar
tin kellogg, Sunbury, Gates county
These men selected FROM class of
twenty-six should feel proud of their
honor and the home and counties of
these young men should feel prouder of
their children. The college course is
now a very thorough anc exacting one.

that their four years course is as difficult
as that any college in lie South, and the

any other State institution.

JUDGE FURCHES
WROTE A LETTER
And Strongly Urged Delivery
of the Goods.
PRITCHARD SAID SO TOO
And Then Judge Boyd's Signature
Completed the Deal.
ALL THE INDICTMENTS ARE WITHDRAWN
Mr. Osborne Says He Has Been Confident All
Along That These Indictments Would
be Wilhdrawn. Tire Meeting
at Greensb To.

All indictments against registrars in
the Western North Carolina district will
be withdrawn, said Mr.. f. l. Osborne
who was one Of counsel for the impeach-
cd judges. Il suppose Judge Boyd has
so indicated from the bench. He agreed
to do So
Mr.. Osborne, Mr. B. #. Long, Mr.. ]. p
Caldwell, Mr.. Marion'e Butler, Mr. Jeter
Pritchard, Mr. Eugene Holton, Judge
Boyd and other leading political lights
met in Greensboro the past week to con-
suit as to whether the Republicans should
deliver the goods.
Osborne, Long and Caldwell strenuous
ly demanded the price Of Impeachment
acquittaI.' Butler, SPritchard ami Fol
ton, o. K.-ed the bill and Boyd has coun-
tersigned the check. ~
In this all good North Carolinians re-
joice, though they may blush at the
method by which it was accomplished.
'In addition to our solicitation in re-
gard to the matter, 'usaid MIR. Osborne
yesterday, there was strong letter
from Judge Furches, urging withdrawal
of the indictments.
Here Mr. Osborne eulogized the Judge
for his unselfish and disi1teresred action
in writing the letter.
And how about Pritchard?"
"Oh, Pritchard was strongly in favor
Of stopping the prosecution. You know
how Pritchard is. He's bold and cut
spoken: you can depend on him. He
was always against these indictments"
Mr.. Osborne went on to say thar the
men indicted for election offenses in the
Western district need give themselves
no more concern; that the cases against
them would certainly lie mol pressed end
that without their even attending court.
He says he has believed all along that
this course would be taken at the proper
time.
The Democratic leaders are of course
glad that the registrars and
election officers are to be put
to no further trouble, though
they have never believed for moment
that they would have been convicted.
LAWYERS who have examined the Federal
statutes say that If the cases had been
tried the accused would in all probability
have been acquitted, and in cases of con-
yiction there would certainly be new
trial and quashing of the indictments IN
The Circuit Court of Appeals.
And no doubt this view of the matter
was discussed in the great shall-we-de-
liver the goods conference at Greensboro

THIN CHILD

If a child is thin, let him
take a little of SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
Some children like it too
well; begin with a little. A
half or quarter-teaspoonful is
enough at first, if the stomach
is weak; but increase, as you
find the stomach will bear.
The effect is: the little one
takes on strength; gets hungry;
eats and is happy; gets fat-he
ought to be fat-and gets
healthy.

To Water Consumers.

Having received many inquiries as to
the cause of the milky appearance of the
water when first drawn from spigots. we
wish to explain that 1t is due to air, which
has been taken in at the pumps and forced
into the water under pressure When
drawn from the pipes and pressure re-
moved the contained air escapes in form
of minute bubbles. like soda water as
may be demonstrated by drawing a glass,
setting = down for a few seconds and
observing it clear from the lotion. This
air is perfectly harmless, is unavoidable
during the connections we are making
with the new filter plant just completed
and the cleaning of reservoir now in prog
ress, ard will last two or three days
longer.

R1GSEY GOT THE PIANO.
Which Has Been in Dispute Between
 Pierpont and Palmer.


 On q writ of execution Sheriff Rig hey last night seized the piano which has been held by James and Catherine l almer of Abbott avenue for some time from Ruel D. Pierpont This was the piano which the jury in the dis trict court yesterday morning decided should be given Mir Pierpont or it's value, $159. There was a humorous side to the seizure. For some time E. R. Perkins and Constable Booth had been watching an opportunity to get the instrument. It is said that one of them went so far in playing detective as to hire room in the house which the Palmers occupied. He learned that the piano was in a certain room to which access was not easy. If he could only find the door leading to this room open all would be we'll. But he did not possess the magic word to open it and otherwise it appeared as impregnable as Spion Kop. When Sheriff Rigney presented himself td the Palmers last evening he was told to go ahead and get the piano if he could. This invitation inclined the sheriff to surmise there would be trou. ble. But he mere1s walked into the room which the officer had had his eyes upon for some time and took posses. sion of the musical trouble-maker.

Phelan, the Tea. Man, Will Occupy
 Brown Block, Opposite Present Store.
 As announced in last evenings issue of the Democrat, James F. Phelan, the tea man, John M. Hamilton, the grocer, John G. Cutler, the harness dealer, and the proprietor of the Waterbury hat store, received notices about 2:30 agent for the Platt block, to vacate their present stores in that block by January IS. The grocery, tea and har- ness stores will be transformed into one large store, which will be occupied
 by the Woolworth and 10-cent store,
 which is said to have secured long lease of those stores. The Woolworth
 Go has to vacate their present quar- ters in the Lawlor block at the corner of Bank and Harrison avenue, as that store has been leased by it's propri- etors to William G. Grieye of Yonkers, N. Y., and George F. Bisset, of the firm of Holland & Bisset, this city.
 They will conduct large dry goods store As to the P1att block, the mer- chants who were served with notice to yacate feel more than aggrieved at llllS A1ONC OPOA lAC palI Ol tAClA 1ullQ- lord and express their disapproval of it in no mild manner. Neither Phelan nor Hamilton has a lease, but J. G. Cutler is said to have leased his pres ent place for one year with an option
 of three. He has only been estab- lished there for year. Joseph F.
 Smith, the tonsorial artist, was also asked to move, but he is said to have refused, as his lease does not expire for fifteen more months. The Water bury hat store will have to move, but it is said the cloak store, next door,
 will occupy this store as well as their present one. Phelan, the tea man, has occupied his present quarters for thir- teen years. 1t is no wonder therefore that he should feel incensed at the ac- tion of his landlord. He has rented the store in the Brown block directly across the street from his present quar- ters. The store was formerly occupied by Wright, the tea man. It was thought at first that if any changes were to be effected that the three stores on East Main street near Phoe- nix avenue would not be affected. The plan was for the Woolworth Co to lease the stores now occupied by the cloak and hat concerns on East Main street, and store occupied by cloth ing concern on Phoenix avenue, and have them connected. But this plan was not feasible, so it is said, to Agent Camp. The merchants will have some difficulty, no doubt, in securing snita- ble stores, as there are few idle stores about town. Notices to vacate are in order these days. T. F.. McGrafh, the cigar manufacturers, has received no- tice to vacate his quarters in the T. Fl. Hayes building on East Main street. It is said that Proprietor Hayes needs l more room for his own business.

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
Bremen Called to Account for Being
 Absent From Fires.

FNiremen Called to Account for Being
 Absent From Fires.
 The absence of Commissioner Klein ecke from last nights meeting of the board of public safety indicated that nothing of importance was to come up. "A communication from Captain Hull was read complaining of the absence of James Courtney from duty on two occasions. A fellow fireman appeared in behalf of Courtney, who was unable to put in a personal appearance, and stated that he did not hear the alarms. The commissioners did not think 1t worth while to go further in the mat ter and if Courtney has anything to say for himself he will be heard at the next meeting of the board
 Frederick Kilbourn, in response to a vote passed at the last meeting of the board. appeared and admitted he had no excuse sufficient to have been ab- sent from a fire on November 27. Kill bourn is an employe of the Gas com many and when the alarm of fire in ouestfon sounded he was in the base ment of a building in the western nart Of the city, so that it was almost impossible for him to have heard the alarm. As this was the usual excuse, the board imposed the usual fine, g.
 In this matter of absence from duty in the occasion of fire. it is singular that until within @ few months ago not a single report of this character had been heard. Complaints began with the snmmoning of two members Of the Burton street house. A sensa- ffon was promised by these men. They claimed that it was no surprise for d member of a fire company to be absent from duty. and in fact one of fhem did say that his captain was fhorouzh1y aware of other similar de faults. A great time was threatened. but wiser heads than those com plaihed of prevailed upon calmer ac- ton and the men submitted without rhnrmur to the imposition of the GUS fotnarv f1ne. 92. Since then hardly a meeting has passed without a com ti1int of absence from duty on the 5arf of some fireman being mnde.

Several police men standing about immediately srlr- rounded the woman while the mayor questioned her. She explained that she was wealthy and did not care about the small amount asked, but wanted to close her books before the first of the year. She was coaxed back into a cell and locked up until the county authorities could be sum- noned This afternoon she was ta- ken to the insane department of the county home. The woman says the mayor owes her $6O0,00O. and instead of paying her he gave the money to Governor Stone, and the governor is now in Mexico s'splurging on her mon ey..
