CRUM'S NOMINATION MAY FAIL.
Democratic Opposition VIII Probably
Defeat Confirmation.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Democratic OPP
position to the appointment of DR.. W. ID.
Crum, colored, as Collector of the Port Of
Charleston. s. C.. will probably be suf-
ficiently potent to prevent his confirmation
by the Senate. A majority on the Commit
tee Of Commerce as 1t Is now constituted
are in favor Of favorably reporting Crum's
nomination to the Senate. Mr.. Jones of
Nevada, the only Republican except Mr.
Perkins to vote against Crum. is now out
Of the Senate, and the vacancies caused by
the retirement Of Messrs. Vest and Turner
Democrats, have not been filed. Even il
they should be filed, however, there would
still be a majority Of the committee in favor
of Crum.
Several Democratic Senator's including the
two from South Carolina. have given notice
that they win fight Crum's nomination if
it is reported. The Republicans do not
intend to make this a party question, nor
to complicate the pending treaties by need
lessly stirring up Democratic wrath. They
are likely, therefore, to keep the nomination
in the committee and cause it to fail for
lack Of action.

until the October term. Solicitor-General
Richards. for the Government, objected,
saying il was only an attempt to reopen
the Downes case, already decided, and
then, too, he wished the case argued before
his term OF Office ended. The court, how
ever. took the motion under advisement
Two cases appealed from the judgment
OF the Supreme Court OF the State OF New
York against the WATERFOWL National
Bank and Loan Company. and in favor
of Moses Petrie and Lillian Traver Carr,
respectively. were affirmed by the Court.
The cases involved the validity Of sales
OF certain bonds. the plaintiffs seeking
TO recover the money paid for securities,
which subsequently proved TO be not first
class. a. guaranteed. but OF little or no
value The bank set up the plea that IL
was not responsible, beoailse transactions
ia such bonds were In violation OF the Ma
tional Banking act. The trial court held
that IL Was no bar to recovery and found
for the plaintiffs.
In the cases Of the Board Of Commissioners
of Wilkes county, n. e., against W n
Coler A Co, and David X. Julien. sheriff
against the Central Trust Company Of New
York, the court granted applications for
writs Of certiorari and will review the de-
cisions IL the Court u Appeals Tor the Fourth

(FrOm the Chicago Journal

(From the Chicago Journal)
Statistics are supposed to point def
nitely to certain conclusions. Local
statistics for the year ended December
l last are somewhat confusing, how
yer.
The marriage license clerk gleefully
reports that he smashed ell records.
During the ear he handed out mar
age licenses to 20.O40 couples. In 1901
he total was but 1880. The average
,ge of the brides was twenty-one years
he average of the grooms. twenty
light years.
These are cheerful statistics-at
east they indicate cheerful conditions.
\ large number of marriages is usually
aiken to indicate prosperous times.
IatIimony and prosperity are sup
,oS6d to go han in hand. We know
hat the year 1902 was a prosperous

Furthermore, the age figures wou.d in

h-y had enough money saved To get q

But now to the c0-oner's office.
Iere we have statistics tina point TO
ifferent conclusions. The coroner re-
3orts that the yea 1902 brought an
Increase OF 40 per cent in the number

: is a staggerer. Hard times and sui
ides are supposed to go together.
Prosperity should have brought q de-

ines have been prosperous. More
Yer, mon c good brains are not

larriaEe statistics we hid just argued
hat C~hicagoans had their share of

We are at a loss to explain the cor,

Wake Forest, n. g, January IA
reception was given to Mr.. and Mrs.
Z. c. Lawrence who were married the
22rd Of December and have just return
ed from a delightful and extended
honey moon through many northern
states. The reception was held at
"kenliwOrth," the beautiful and
commodious home OF Mrs. d. Foster
Fort, the mother of the groom. A
number of guests from different parts
of the state were present. The par
lOrs, hall and dining room were artis-
tically decorated with a profusion Of
smilaX, potted plants and holly. The
bride and groom received in the south
parlOr. Mrs. Lawrence wore a beauti-
full COSTUME of Filipino importation of
pink fabric woven of silk and COCO
fiber over pink silk. which was a gift
Of Lieutenant Norwood, a brother of
the bride, o stationed in the Philip
pines. Mrs. Elizabeth Gray Allen re-
ceived in her usual graceful manner,
wearing white chiffon over white taffet-

ed by Mr.. o. r. Dingelhoef.
The bride is the lovely and accom-
plished daughter of ex-Judge Norwood.
and is extremely popular in social Cir
cles throughout the state. The groom
is a native of Wake Forest, but now i.
a resident of Raleigh where he Is very
popular and successful in the the prac-
tice of law, being the junior member
of the firm of Hinsdale & Lawrence.
Delightful refreshments were served
during the evening.
All the boys have gotten back after
spending a gay and festive holiday va
cation at their respective homes and
quite a number of new men have regis
tered for the spring term. The enroll
ment is now over three hundred, the
largest in the history of the institution,
proving the appreciation of the merits
Of the superior course of instruction
offered at Wake Forest college. The
medical department although it is the
first year that medicine has been
taught at the college, is very popular
undo the able dean DR.. Fred Z. Cooke.
The work carried on under this branch
is the same as the first two years work
given at any reputable college and
equally as thorough.
Professor N. Y. Gully at the head of
the law department has no equal in
the south and it is through his untiring
efforts that Wake Forest men ecquit
themselves so creditably on the exami-
nations to practice law before the state
supreme court and take such a high
stand among the legal profession
throughout the state. He has now a
fine class which will reflect credit upon
him at the next examination of the
supreme court in February.

Fayetteville, y. c., January 1.-THE
combination of Cape Fear Steamboat
interests. to be almost certainly con-
summated in the near future, seems to
be generally regarded here as a good
thing to do. The pooling of the freight
profits is technically against the law
in this state, though there wou doubt
less be no contention in the case; but
it is probably designed to secure a
charter outside of North Carolina, to
be styled the Cape Fear Transit Com
pany. 1t is understood that The City
of Fayetteville" will be mainly run for
through freights. The wharves attract
great here, and are certainly
wonderfully. complete in all the means
OF loading and unloading steamers
They are built to be practically indie
pendent Of freshets, and carry both
freight and passengers by incline rail-
way, operated by steam power.
