Wilmington, n. c., May 20.-Cap-
tain Edward Payson George, former

his friend, Mr.. James Sprunt, to the

only condition being that the proper
authorities would guarantee to pay
the running expenses of the manual
training department, estimated within
$500 a year, for five years, after
which it was confidently expected that
the success of the undertaking would
insure a voluntary support.
The present uncertain and irregular
source of income for school purposes
and the limitation of the annual ap-
preparations, also the tenure of Of
fee, do not permit a guarantee of the
terms required. 1t is therefore mutu-
ally decided to leave the matter in

may be renewed, or Captain George

Greensboro, N c., May 20.-At a
meeting of the board of Aldermen
Monday night, having in mind the
criticisms made by Sam Jones the
week before about a certain class OF
women he claimed Greensboro was
sadly afflicted with and to whom priv
ileges were accorded a very stringent
ordinance was adopted making it a
misdemeanor for any carriage driver
to haul for hire any man to the house
of any of the soiled doves, or to haul
any woman of that class on the pub
lie streets of the city. Chief of Police
Scott was made carriage Inspector,
with authority to revoke license OF
any offending carriage owner. The
first case was before the Mayor yes
terday. Sheppard Long, a negro hack
driver was up for carrying man to
a house of the character noted. He
was prosecuted by City Attorney
Scales, but was his own counsel. He
stated that the man he carried did
not get him to drive to the house in
question, but the carriage stopped Il
block distant, the passenger getting
out there, it being some distance be-
You'd the corporate limits, but that
the man walked to the place inter-
dicted. Mayor Osborn fined the de-
fedant $50 and he took an appeal to
the Superior court. Another case was
reported this morning, and the often
der arrested for hiring his carriage to
a lewd woman.
The constitutionality of the ordi-
nance will be tested in the Supreme

that will prevent the great difference
now made in favor of certain points.
One mill man stated that he could get
solid cars carried right by his mill,
