Lieutenant Louis c. Richardson, United

men in the service, is in Raleigh Lieut..
Richardson is native of South Carolina,
having been born and raised in Green
Vile, that State. He leaves today for
Wilmington after having had charge here
of the recruiting office for Uncle Sans
fighting forces.
There are few men in thesnavy whose
lives have been filled with more inter
esting adventure than the life of Lieut.
Richardson
Graduating from the Naval Academy in
the class of 1897 he served during the
war on Admiral SIMPSONS flagship the
New York. No opportunity was given
here to distinguish himself, but this ex-
perience was delayed until he began his
service in Samoa. AS an ensign he went
out on the Aberenda and for nearly three
years lived aboard that vessel just off
Samoa. Here he entered into the life

HARD COAL FAMINE.
No End Is Yet in Sight and the Price Continues
to Rise.

Have you needed hard coal? Do you
Know where 1T may be had in Raleigh and
DO you Know what your money is worth?
THESE are the questions which one be
gins to ask ones self when coal is re-
qulred. For two days this week Raleigh
was searched by one man and finally af-
ter his desperate situation was under
stood, he was able to gather together
nearly three tons from the cellars OF
three residences in this city. No amount
of money could buy that coal, it came
from the generosity of hearts of men
who wanted to help others out OF trouble
Hard coal cannot be bought in Raleigh
There is not dealer in the city who
has a ton on hand On the market it costs
nearly SIS per ton, delivered by the car
load in Raleigh. Your money is no
good if YOU wish to exchange it for this
fuel.
Dealers here can make no promise
when the end of the famine will come
The price is above Raleigh pocket books
and besides this it is practically impos-
sible TO get cars in which to ship the
coal Those who do not need hard coal
are the fortunate ones.

BASE BALL PROSPECTS.
Wake Forest College Will Have Stewart to

Mr.. John G. Skies. Jr., manager of the
Wake Forest College baseball team was
in town yesterday.
Mr.. Skies is very much encouraged
over the outlook for a winning team at
Wake Forest this year. There are eight
of the last seasons team back this year,
and in addition there is some excellent
new material who will make it difficult
for the last year men to retain their
positions. Mr.. Edward Hobgood, who is
recognized as one of the best college
pitchers in the South. will again be in
the box for Wake Forest this year.
Mr.. Stewart, who will be remembered
as the crack pitcher of Wilmington. later
of New Orleans, in the 1901 season. and
now with the National League, will coach
the team. This in itself will be a great
advantage to the Baptists.
Wake Forest will play Trinity, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and A. and Nj. in
Raleigh. On their Southern trip they
will play Wofford, University of cor
sia. Clemson, Techs in Atlanta, Mercer
and University of South Carolina.

written language, acquired a perfect
knowledge of their customs and became
the friend of all classes of society.
1t is a fact that during the stay of the
Aberenda Lieutenant Richardson was the
object of greatest admiration among the
fair sex of the country. The society of
Samon is divided into three classes, the
royal, the chief and the common. One
never mingles with another. In this land
no one works and the proud race wear
no clothing other than the loin clothes.
The missionaries are making desperate
efforts to give the people written lam
guage.
1t is a matter of record that on one
bright and glorious day the Aberenda
was visited by delegation of princes and
high chiefs. The governor sent for
Lieutenant Richardson and upon his ar
rival on deck he was informed that the
princes and high chiefs desired the Of
ficer to marry the Princess of Fungasa
who was reputed to be one of the most
beautiful and graceful of the Samoan
women. 1t was announced as the inten-
ton of the delegation to order a two
weeks holiday in Samoa on the occasion
of the wedding and to give to the groom
50 fine mats, and kill 800 pigs for the
feast to follow the ceremony.
Lieutenant Richardson realized the
pride which filled the hearts of the Sa-
means and he knew that he had a diff
ficult proposition before him to make an
excuse and rid himself of the honor thus
thrust upon him. He made a brief talk,
expressed his thanks to the princess and
high chiefs but told them that he was
under the orders of the Great White
Chief" the president of the United States
and that he could not marry the prin-
cess without his permission. He ex-
planned that if he married and took the
princess home with him she would freeze
to death.
Lileut. Richardson is handsome, win
ming and popular, but he is not looking
forward to orders to return to Samoa,
the land in which he is thought of as an
idol He has often since met the princess
and she is one of his best friends in the
far away land.

FLY TO THE SOUTH
BY RALEIGH.
RaiIroadjng Record Breakers
Mr.. Whites New
Book.

The Florida Limited of the Seaboard
every morning early making an un-
paralleled record in the history of rail
reading in the South. The train from
the first day that it was operated up 10
the present time has arrived in Jack
sonVile on schedule time after it's long
fly from New York city. 1t is the only
train in the South equipped with high
speed brakes, which means that it can
stop quicker than other trains when
under full speed. The cars are those
used by Prince Henry during his tours
of the United States.
This train is being personally conduct
cd by leading passenger officials of the
system under the direction of General
Passenger Agent c. B. Ryan. Assistant
General Passenger Agent Walworth and
District Passenger Agent T. P. Smith
passed through the city on the trains
last night and night before last, and this
morning Assistant General Passenger
Agent w E. Christian passed through
the city on the Limited. Yesterday
morning Travelling Passenger Agent H. S.
Leard, of Raleigh, left for New York to
come out on the train which will pass
through Raleigh after midnight tonight.
Mr.. Ryan has made quite a hit by hav-
ing the leading passenger representa-
tives look after this model train, and is
to be, congratulated upon the record
made.
Folders were received in Raleigh yes
terday telling of the trainsj operated
from East to West by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad. While a record is
being made from North TO South the
Chesapeake and Ohio is shooting trains
across the country from East to West
as fast as Marconi sends his messages.
The Chesapeake and Ohio has estab-
ished the record of from three to eight
hours, the quickest route. The trains
are elegant and are claiming the honor
of being the cleanest in the South.
Industrial Agent J. w. White, of the
Seaboard, has just issued a booklet on
the possibilities offered by Florida. The
book treats with the soil and climatic
conditions, Florida as a home for the
farmer as well as for the capitalist, the
cattle raising possibilities and every
other phase of life of interest to man.
The book Is arranged by counties, and
is attractively illustrated, giving repro
auctions of photographs taken from life
The book is one of the handsomest of the
many handsome publications issued this
year by the Seaboard, and is deserving
of the greatest praise. 1t is furnished
upon request to either General Passen-
ger Agent Ryan, General Freight Agent
Capps or Industrial Agent J. w. White.
The Sunday train on the Cape Fear
and Northern Railroad from Apex to
Holly Springs is proving great con-
cenience to people from this city, who
wish to visit Fuquay Springs on Sun
day. President Angler is making Il
number of Improvements along his line.

Trying for Coveted Prizs to be Given Away
IN June.

Announcement to the effect that the
trustees of st. Mary's School have de-
cided to give each year free scholar
ship to the girl who completes her course
with the highest grade in her studies in
the Raleigh graded schools has been re-
ceived with keenest interest by the girls
in the highest classes.
1t is a fact that already lively COM
petition has sprung UP and that the Of
fering of the scholarship has stimulated
the girls to greater efforts. The scholar
ship is to be greatly priced not only for
it's intrinsic value, but for the honor at
tached to it as only merit can win it,
The scholarship is to be awarded by
DR.. Bratton and Prof. Moses after the
close of the school term of the graded

INVESTMENTS HERE PAY
Money Received Has Been Prof ably Handled
Money Spent in Past Thirty Days
Breaks all Previous Rtc,rds---
What Has Been Done.

Coupon clipping and dividend draw
ing are in the height of fashion in Raj
eigh and it is probable that never be-
fore in the history of this city has the
amount received from earnings of city
corporations been near the 1902 figure,
which passes the $4,000 mark.
This amount represents only that held
in the city of Raleigh and is arrived at
by an average of the calculations made
by several of the best posted bank men
and financiers in Raleigh.
Annual salaries and incomes, of course,
are omitted from this calculation, and if
one is to reach the total amount received
in Raleigh from dividends and coupons
more than $780, 900 must be added to the
above amount. This is to cover the in
come from foreign corporations in which
Raleigh people are interested
Besides the foregoing could be added
the greatest amounts received by the
State of North Carolina from North
Carolina Railroad bonds. There are also
other bonds which are yielding returns
at this time which cannot be included.
Deposits at the city banks prove the
real situation in this city. During the
past week two banks have reported their
deposits to have reached the high water
mark and in one bank the deposits
reached the enc hundred thousand dollar
mark on one day.
Some of the institutions which scat
tered checks around since New Year, or
which are paying their annual or semi
annual interest on bonds are named be-

Where this money is going is not hard

has been questioned about the matter has
agreed to the statement that more money
has been spent in Raleigh within the last
thirty days than during the same length
of time in any other year. More i'm

of Raleigh's citizens and contracts have
been let fer further improvements which
put Raleigh residences on a par with
