by Mayor Taylor on March 18th last. and

Mr.. Pollard holds that under t1e or
dinance the Committee on Electricity
may grant to any one the right 70 string
overhead wires at any time before March
18th next. but that after that time me
committee will have no further authority
except TO carry into effect the ordinance.

to the local pride OF the people
The President made number OF brief
speeches at various points in North Caro-
lima. He had intended to speak only at
AshcvilIe There an immense, cheering
throng greeted him.

Political Effect.
Through North Carolina the President
touched upon nothing political not caring
to be accused Of interfering In the politi-
cal fight in the State but the Republicans
do them good.
From Asheville to Greensboro the Presi-
dent was accompanied on the train by
Senator Pritchard, Representative Spen-
Ger Blackburn and Mr.. Gist. the Repub-
lican nominee in the new Ninth District.
The Republicans claim that they are
going to elect Mr.. Moody in the Ashe-
vile district, Mr.. Blackburn in the
Eighth and Mr.. Hist in the Ninth. They
claim that there Is strong Democratic
disaffection in various parts of the State,
due to the Carr followers refusing to
follow what the Republicans denominate
the Democratic machine in North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Blackburn is thoroughly conf
dent of reelection.
Looking Pleasant.
At Statesville the train stopped for
brief speech. and then remained long
enough for the photographer with the
presidential party to take a, photograph
of the party. While the photographers
were adjusting their tripods and get
ting their plates ready, the President
spoke to the crowd of the daily infliction
imposed upon him in the matter of stand
ing for picture.
