MR.. POWELL REPLIES.
Is Nominee of Democratic
Party and Will Ask the
PEOPLES Vote.

On last Friday Mr.. J. S. Wynne wrote
private letter to Mayor Powell, in
which he stated that Mayor Powell had
received 400 votes at the primary against
i .O55 in favor of a change, and asking him
if he was willing to take the nomination
under the circumstances Mr.. Wynne
further stated that he readily consented
to Mr. Arendell's resolution as he hrst
drew it. to refer the matter back to a
primary. taking the two highest and re-
uuire a majority to nominate, but that
he did not favor having all the candidates
again before the people, as the resolu-
ton was finally presented.
Nothing short Of an opportunity to
vote on this matter again would give sat
isfaction. wrote Mr.. Wynne. He told Mr..
Powell very plainly that the people were
very much dissatisfied, and that there
was growing sentiment in favor of put
ting an Independent in the field. He had
been asked to run, but had declined
He also called attention to a promise
made by Mayor Powell to him two years
ago that he would not be candidate this
time.
No one knew better than Mr.. Powell
that no such combination as had been
charged had ever been made.
He asked if Mayor Powell was willing
for a new primary, or if there We're any
objection to this, would he be willing
that the people be left free to vote their
choice, If Mayor Powell should force
himself upon the people against their
WILL his administration could be nothing
but failure. If he (Mr. Wynne had re-
ceived the vote of every delegate in the
convention and then found a majority of
The people opposed to him, he would have
withdrawn at once.
Such is a brief outline of Mr.. Wynne' S
letter to Mayor Powell.
Yesterday Mayor Powell wrote his re-
ply. 1t was extremely brief and to the
point, consisting of only a few lines.
Mr.. Powell simply wrote that it was
understood that he was the nominee of
the Democratic party, and that he would
have supported him (Mr. Wynne or any
one else that might have been nominated.
He mayor Powell would ask the people
to support him and the whole Democratic
ticket at the polls on election day.

Carolina. Here is the story:
IAN clipping couple, Mr.. Henry Crosse
and Miss Sadie Lambert, from Lambert,

they were met by an officer. arrested and
placed in Jail where they remained till
Saturday morning. Saturday morning
they secured the service of an attorney

A livery stable man was then employed
to drive them to Jefferson as rapidly As
possible and after travelling all night Sat
urday night they reached Jefferson about
noon Sunday.
after eating dinner they applied to
Deputy Register of Deeds McEwen for
marriage license. The girl appeared to
the register of deeds that she might not
be Is vars old and was told that license
would not be issued unless she would sigd
a written oath that she is IS years old.
This she did and the license was issued.
The couple then repaired to the parlor
of the Virginia House, which was filled
with ladies, gentlemen and children who
we're anxious to witness the marriage.
The ceremony was impressively perform

NO GAME YESTERDAY,
Trinity Objected to Players on Technically,
and A. & II. Returned in Kind.

The baseball game between Trinity
College and A. and NJ, was called off
yesterday afternoon before the time for
play had arrived.
The Trinity boys oanie in on the morn
ing train, and when the two captains met
to arrange the preliminares the trouble
began. ~ ~
1t seems that Trinity belongs to the
Southern Inter Collegiate Athletic AS
ISOLATION, which will not allow any OF
its members to play any student who
entered college thirty days after the
first of CStobest Trinity is the only
college in the State that belongs to that
Association
According to the rules of her associa-
ton Trinity first objected to Holt and
Welch, of the A. and NJ. College team, on
the ground that they had entered col
lege too late to play on the team.
A. and NJ. explained that WEIGH was an
old student who had been prevented by
sprained foot from entering college at
the beginning of this term Trinity fin
ally agreed to let WEIGH play. A. and
NJ. agreed to take Holt Off
Then A. and M. kicked on one of
Trinity's men, Wooten, who was at Trim
ity last fall but withdrew and reg
istered at the University, and after
Christmas went back to Trinity A. and
M. argued that if Holt was objected to
on a technicality, they objected to
Wooten on the same ground.
Trinity refused to play unless Wooten
were allowed in the game, and A. and
M. contended that Holt had the same
right to play as Wooten.
That's the rock they split on
The A. and NJ baseball management
said last night that they regretted ex-
ccedingly that the game had to be de-
clared off, and hoped that such a thing
would never happen again.

1t was reported yesterday evening that
there had been strike at the Raleigh
Hosiery Mills.
A News and Observer reporter made an
investigation last night and found that
there was no strike but that one he'd
been narrowly averted.
These are the facts: change was
made in the management of one of tho
departments, and the girls employed in
that department did not like the change
There were eight of them, and they

IMPROVED TOBACCO cADDIEs AND TAGS
Some Valuable Inventions by a North c; rI'
liuiau.

Chewing tobacco packed with improVel
ments patented by Mr.. Alex. j. Field, OF
this city. is now being put on the market
Mr.. n. c. Brandon, manager of the tuck
| er Building Pharmacy, kindly showed
some of this tobacco to our reporter and
explained the improvements.
Ordinarily" he said tobacco IS
nailed up as if it never had to be opened.
1t requires much time, labor, several
| tools and a few bad words to open Q
caddy. So great is this trouble that
many dealers simply take hammer AID
knock the caddy nearly all to pieces
| thas exposing the contents to the air
and dust. whereby It is often greatly in
iured With Mr.. Fields improved
| caddy 1t is entirely different. 1t can be
opened almost instantly with an or
binary pocket knife without the slightest
difficulty The sides are left intact as
n protection to the tobacco, and there
are no ugly nail holes or ragged edges
to tear the hands or tobacco
Then" he said "You see each plug
has this long narrow little tiny tag which
catches on the under side and bends over
the edge with a free end in front TO
take hold of when pulling the plug out
of the caldy. AS each plug is removed
the extracting tag on the next plug is
exposed Ordinarily we have to take a
cork screw, knife or chisel to prize the
plugs out after the caddy is open. With
these extracting tags on the plugs it is
like taking apples out of a basket"
When asked if he thought tobacco
packed in this way would be more III
demand than that packed in the old way.
he replied:
"Unquesticnably So There is such a
great saving in time, labor and trouble,
both in opening the caddy and getting
the plugs out, that no dealer can afford
TO take the old kind when he can get this
We have just dropped one brand of to-
bacco and ordered a similar kind from
Mr.. w. T. Hancock, for no other reason
than to get advantage of these con-
veniences. We shall certainly always
give the preference to goods packed this
way and We have no hesitancy in saying
other dealers Will do the same"
How much does all this cost" he was
asked.
at does not cost us ono cent" was his
reply. I'VE get the same quantity ana
the same grade at exactly the same cost.
The manufacturer bears the expense, but
it must be extremely slight. as you can
see for yourself. If the convenience ana
good will of the retailers is worth any
thing these improvements must at once
so into general use
Both the caddy and the tags are pat
ented.
