A HUSBAND TO WHIP.
Mayor Powell Bears Down Heavy on an Errine
Man

Diminishing a drunk on the promise of
a wife to thrash him is sentence out
of the usual. 1t is of the very unusual
order, and the drunk is apt to look with
disfavor on Mayor Powell for doing so.
Yet he will have to move to town if
his displeasure desires an expression in
vote against Raleigh's chief executive
when he stands for reelection. for Will
liam Lewis now lives in the country. His
hair is of a warm auburn hue and his
acquaintance irreverently hail him as
"Pinetop." He was marked on the city
docket yesterday I'd. and d." which for
this time means drunk and down.
He had tarried too long at the wine
cup and when Mayor Powell adjusted his
judicial equipment to look into the case
the erring ones wife appeared as attor-
ney in his behalf and sought che mercy
of the court. If he was released she
promised that she would take him back
to the country where green trees, run
ming brooks and foaming glasses of milk
tend to sobriety and an upright position.
The mayor rested his head upon his
hand and pondered. Should he enrich the
city, whose Golfers bulge with cash till
Treasurer Lumsden and Clerk Ham
Smith fear for the supports maintaining
the building? Should he say NAY, he
must go to the roads ?" All, a thought,
like a flash of lightning, sweeps through
his questioning grey matter, and with
piercing eye he gazes upon the pleader
and speaketh:
'sWherefore do you not tie up your
husband in a sheet and give him a
sounde thrashing?" were the words, the
fearfully suggestive words, that came to
the woman. The official cat, asleep or
doing on the reporters table gave one
bound and was gone. He saw the finish
for the prisoner and did not wait for the
curtain to fail
Then came the answer, that betided
woe, and also gee-how, to 'Pinetop," for
his wife made reply, eff you will just let
him off this time I'll do it the next time
he gets drunk"
80 mote it be- said the mayor.

A. MAGNIFICENT BUILDING
To be Erected Corner of Fayetteville
and Hargett Streets.
SEVEN STORIES HIGH, WILL COST SIPS, 900
The Two Thousand Dollars Yet TO be Raised
Viii b. Quickly Secured and the
Work Will B gin on the
Building.

Raleigh is to be the home of the new
and magnificent Masonic Temple.
1t is understood, on what is absolutely
reliable authority, that at the recent
meeting of the Temple Site Committee
in Goldsboro the committee was unanl-
nous in it's choice of Raleigh for the
Temple, providing a further small sum OF
money was raised.
81. 900, and of this amount the sum total
was further reduced yesterday by ad-
ditional subscriptions. 1t was necessary
to secure the Temple in Raleigh that a
certain amount of second mortgage
bonds be taken here. These amount in
all to $4,000 paying A per cent, while
tie first mortgage. bonds are also $4,000.
on the same reliable authority it can
be stated that all the second mortgage
bonds except $4,000 have been placed.
For Raleigh an absolute pledge of $4,000
was given and it was promised that a
strenuous effort to increase the amount
to $4,000 would made. The informa-
ton that $4,000 was needed yet from
Raleigh was given yesterday morning,
but at night it was stated that subscrip-
lions secured during the day had re-
duced the figures.
The site for the Temple has been Sc
cured and it is an ideal location for
the building, being on the corner OF
Fayetteville and Hargett streets, the
present location of the Raleigh Savings
Bank 1t also includes the building oc-
cupied by the California Fruit Store ad-
joining the bank on Fayetteville street,
ard the adjoining stores on East Hargett
street occupied by Mr. w. B. Mann and
Mr.. Jesse G.. Ball. The dimensions of
the property secured is 601A by S71s feet.
The building to be erected will be one
of the finest in the State. 1t will cost
s125 OO0, and will be seven stories in
height, and will be fitted up in the most
modern style throughout the entire
structure. The ground floor will have in
it the Raleigh Savings Bank and the
other portions will be made into elegant
stores. In the building there will be
the Masonic lodge rooms, the grand hall
for the meeting of the Grand Lodge, and
all the necessary committee rooms.
While much has been said about the
inner arrangements of the building that
will be the handsomest structure in the
state. yet all of the details are not yet
ready for the public. 1t was stated yes
tcrday on absolutely reliable authority
that there were several things about the
proposed building that would startle the
people of the city when they were an
nounccd. 1t is understood that the build
ing is TO be fitted with splendid stores
and finely equipped office rooms, but the
committee in charge have evidently
something beyond this, and when this
is announced we know the people of
Raleigh, and the people who come to
Raleigh, will be delighted.
The selection of Raleigh as the loca-
tion for the Masonic Temple is matter
which Is most gratifying to our people,
and without any hesitation or delay it is
absolutely certain that the few dollars
now needed will be subscribed at once.
