SOLDIERS. home DIRECTORS.
The Charge of Desertion Against an Inmate
Seems to be True.

A meeting of the directors of the Sol
dier's Home will be held this week-possi-
bly, today--to elect superintendent and
to investigate the charge of desertion
against two of the inmates.
One of the men against whom this
charge has been made is from Wake
county. the other from Rowan. The evil
dence so far Secured in regard to the
Wake man seems to leave no doubt as to
the truth of the charge. In the case of
the Rowan man the evidence is not con-
elusive as yet. though it is said that
there is an old soldier in the Home who
is thoroughly familiar with all the facts
and who declares that the charge is true.
At any rate. the charges ought to be
thoroughly investigated by the directors,
and at once. If the men deserted, as
claimed let them be discharged from the
Home to make room for those more wor-
thy, if they are innocent they should
speedily be eXonerated and freed from
the suspicion that now rests upon them.
The people of the State gladly contribute
to the support of the veterans, and to
make easy their closing days is work
OF love, but they desire that only those
be admitted to the Home who bore them
selves worthily and Loyalty.

Their Friends Set up Their Rival Claims as a
Weather Bureau

There's a man in Raleigh who thinks
the whippooTwill as a weather indicator,
is fraud and his piping roundelay de-
fusion and a snare. He clips the follow
ing from the News and Observer of re-
cent date:
The Newton Enterprise has re-
ceived dead sure tip on the wealth
err. 1t says:
1--WE heard the first whippoorwill
notes of the year last Friday evening.
This is a sure sign that spring has at
last set in. Farmers always feel safe
in planting corn and cotton after the
whippoorwills begin their morning
and evening concerts
On this cur Raleigh man comments as
follows:
THE Newton Enterprise and the whip
poorwilI may think they know something
about this spring but the catbird can
give points that they've never dreamt of.
No catbird, yet, no settled spring weather
yet and none until catbird comes"
Without passing on the claims of the

compels us to admit that the present
cold wave somewhat jars our faith in
the whippoorwills prophetic powers as
set forth by the Enterprise.

Greensboro, N. c., April 22.-@The mayor
of the city, Mr.. q. v. Taylor, has just
prepared a statement which shows that
Greensboro has made most remarkable
strides along all lines during the past
few years, and especially during the past
twelve months. The statement is in the
nature of a report of what has been done
for the city by the mayor and board of
aldermen during the fiscal year. The
mayor says the city is in better finan-
cial condition than it has been for years
and that the public credit is better. Dur
ing the past year the floating Indebtedness
has been decreased some $4,000, now be-
ing about $4,000. This will enable the
next administration to take up the years
work with an income sufficient to pay all
expenses without embarrassment. The
bonded Indebtedness of the city is $685.,
600, practically all of this amount being
yet to spend in permanent improvements
some of which will yield handsome
revenue.
During the past year new city hall
and market house has been built: a fire.
mems building erected and extensive i'm
provements made on the public school
buildings, in all, representing an expen
diture of $4,000. A considerable sum of
money has also been used in grading the
streets preparatory to matchmaking
When the proceeds from the sale of bonds
devoted to this purpose shall have been
spent it is estimated that twenty miles
of streets will have been graded and
macadamized
Extensive improvements on the water
works are also contemplated SO soon as
the property shall have been transferred
to the city. This has been delayed by
litigation in the Federal courts.

EASTERN FEDERAL COURTS
Only One Man Sent to the Penitentiary From
Elizabeth City Court

Federal court meets in Newbern today.
Judge Purnell, Marshall Dockery and 9TH
CT officers left yesterday to attend it.
Court will be held next week in Whining
ton and the week following in Raleigh.
Last week court was held at Elizabeth
City and Judge Purnell says it was the
largest Feleral court he ever saw there
All the cases, except two, which were
revenue cases were for violations of the
postal laws.
One OF the defendants in these last
named cases got eighteen months in the
penitentiary. His name is Arthur Ben
nett Alexander, and he has an uncle
named Alfred Alexander, who is rated in
Bradstreet's and Dun's as @. 3, which be-
ing interpreted means from $4,000 to S1O,-
600. Now discovering this rating, which
is considered a very good one among
business men, Arthur Bennett Alexander
laid a plan by which he hoped to at
tain to sudden wealth at small cost.
He had pretentious stationery printed,
headed "A. Alexander, dealer in general
merchandise, ETC., and then he set him
self down at typewriter and did the
rest. He wrote to wholesale firms of all
kinds and descriptions in all sections of
the country. He ordered every conceiv-
able thing from corsets to car-wheels, al
ways taking care to say in his letter, For
reference see Bradstreet and Dun, re-
ported G. g." These magic words always
brought the stuff and for months wagons,
buggies, stoves and steam engines cloth
ing and groceries poured in to "A. Alex
ander," who promptly sold again, for his
only place of business was a bicycle and
his only worldly goods a wife. For
months he prospered, then the crash
came
And he's up with Major Martin now.
The big buck negro politician, Il. B.
Leigh, was tried on a similar charge
using different firms names to secure
goods-but as he is really i'll business tnr.
charges were not sustained.
Only one moonshine case was tried at
this court and in that an acquittal was
secured.
