Royal italian Band.


Lovers of music-and who Is not q
lover of music?-in this city should
congratulate themselves on the oppor.
tunity to be given them shortly of
hearing the Royal Italian Band which,
III press reports are true. is the great
est concert band that has ever toured
America. Special and unstinted praise
Is accorded the director. Sig. Emilio
Rlvela, for his marvellous control of
his musicians, and his original inter
probation OF the greatest composers.
The organization comprises 55 musi-
clans, and includes some of Italy's
finest instrumentalists. A remark
able fact, noticeable is the compost
tion of the organization is the mum.
Der of wood instruments, and the alb.
sence of a cornet or slide trombone.
Nearly one-half of the band is wood.
and the effect is said to be quite diff.
ferent from anything ever heard in
this city. The program for the con.
cert has been arranged with a view to
catering to the well-lknown musical
taste prevailing among the citizens of
our city.
The band comes to the Grand Opera
House, Thursday October SOth. under
the auspices Of the Salem Lodge of
Elks.

s.:B. ALEXANDER A CANDIDATE.
Captain Alexander Will Enter the Fight to
Succeed Senator Pritchard.
Charlotte Observer

NCidilOIlC oOScINeT.J
In an interview with an Observer re-
porter last night, Hon. S. B. Alexander
stated that he would be a candidate for
the United States Senate to succeed Sena-
tor Pritchard. He said he had given seri-
Gus consideration to the matter, and that
the announcement of his candidacy was
at the instance of his frienCs, who are
enthusiastic over his prospects.
''You can say to the people of North
Carolina for me-" said he, that I shall
be candidate for the United States
Senate, subject to the Democratic eau
GUS"
Captain Alexander intimated that he
would make no active canvass in the
interests of his candidacy "The race
is not as it is in South Carolina, where
the campaign is fought out before the
primaries and where political speeches
are the order of the day he said. with
us it is all left with the Legislature,
speech making in the various counties in
the State by the candidates would be uge
less.
1.-THE present senat orial campaign is
new in the history of this State, any
way added Captain Alexander in for
mer times-in the days Of Vance and
Ransom and before then-a candidate foI
the Senate never made any announces
ment of his candidacy until after the
Legislature was elected. His candidacy
was, of course, known to few intimate
friends, but not generally and as the
representatives from the counties were
uninstructed the fight was before them
solely" Captain Alexander reckoned the
many political announcement directly
resultant from a certain sweet, high
keyed judicial note of an eastern early
bird.
Five times a Senator from Meckeln-
burg county and twice a Congressman
this is the public record of Captain
Alexander. His political life has faml-
arized him with the duties OF public
service, and this his friends hold up as
one proof of his fitness for high office
The other Democratic candidates in the
feld-Hon. Lee s. Overman, of Salisbury
Hon. r. b. Glenn, of Winston, and Locke
Craige, Esq, of Asheville-are all law
yers. Captain Alexander is farmer The
| other candidates are comparatively young
men, and none of them served in the Civil
| War. Captain Alexander was Confed-
| crate soldier. He and his friends state
IT this connection, by the way, that Nortf
Carolina is the only Southern State thai
| has no Confederate soldier in Congress
| Glenn and Overman are expected te
| bring the war into Africa-to fight ever
for Mecklenburg county. How will this
| be, Captain Alexander?"
| "For the future to decide he replied
/ sJnilingly. so far am not more than {
| candidate"

FARM STATISTICS IN N. C..
Mode of Living Improved, but Cost of
Living Creased.
NEGRO LABOR SAID TO BE UNRELIABLE
interesting Facts and Figures from the An
nual Report of the Commissioner Of Labor
Increase in Value Of Farm Land in
q Counties.

Agricultural statistics will form one
of the most interesting features or the
forthcoming annual report of the COM
missioner of Labor and Printing, Mr..
III. B. Warner. Advance sheets, pre-
pared by Chief Clerk w. E. Faison, give
a great deal of interesting information
relating to the farming classes.
The following average tables are COM
piled from blanks filled out by represen-
: tative farmers from every county in the
State. The farmers always respond
promptly. II this chapter is also pub
lished letters showing the needs and con-
dition of farm labor.
The returns were received during the
period from June Is to October l. 1901,
which explains the difference in the sell
ing price of cotton and other products
shown in table No. 5.
Table No. shows an increase of II 1-3
per cent in value of land in twenty one
counties. Seventy-six counties report no
change. Eighty-two counties report fer
tlity of land maintained and fifteen re-
port fertility not maintained. Forty
seven counties report tendency to have
smaller farms, nine larger and twenty
one no change.
Table No. shows that the mode of liv-
ing in ninety counties is improved. Six
ty-three counties report the cost of living
increased. Ninety-six counties report ne
gro labor unreliable, and one reports no
negro labor. Thirty-nin counties report
employment regular.
Table No. shows the highest wages OF
men $15.62 and the lowest $3.50. the
