of starting at the witness with a ''you

The electricity then ran down one OF

blocked for some time while firemen
worked on the blaze.
The big flag pole on the top of the
famous Flat iron building at Broad
struck, pole 5 feet long being
splintered, fragments falling on both
sides of the building to the streets far
below. One splinter graZed the arm
of policeman who was helping an
old lady from a Broadway car, but
no one else was hit. although the
streets were we'll filled with people.
Several other flag poles in various
other parts of the city were shattered
by the lightning and many dwelling
houses were struck.
Several persons were struck, but
no fatalities resulted. During the
time the storm continued nearly two
inches of water fell, flooding cellars
and streets in Manhattan Island, so

THE VANGUARDS.
A Delightful Moonlight Picnic En-
joyed at MiIburnie.

The Vanguards gave their first out
ing Monday night at Milburnie, and it
proved an entire success.
Though the day had been unpromis-
ing, towards evening the clouds lifted
from the earth, and also from the,
spirits of the Vanguards and their
guests.
The party met at the Presbyterian
church at six thirty. and after the
crowd, the luncheon. the musical in
struments, and the chaperones were
neatly packed in the conveyances, the
| fun began
Milburnie is an ideal place for
moonlight picnic, and though the
moon now and then played hide and
seek, she came out often enough to
laugh at the fun going on below.
The supper was thoroughly enjoyed.
What else could one expect with the
chief requisites there-plenty of good
things and plenty of good digestion.
After an hour or so of laughing,
singing, talking, joking, punning, tax
ing f1ash-light pictures. and catching
all the good times usually lowering
about happy young folks, the party
started for home.
Mr.. E. B. Grow is president ana
teacher of the Vanguards, class for
Young men in the Presbyterian sun
day scnool. and this fact alone makes
it useless to say that the class is
characterized by it's earnestness and
energy.
Besides the Vanguards, there were
present on Monday night Misses Emily
Walker. Elsie Stockard, Emily Stein
metz. Eliza Brown, Mary Osby, Esteile
Enniss, Pauline Hill, Lille Hinnant.
Pearl Hinnant, and Roberta Thack-
Ston.
The chaperones were Mrs. Sherwood

TO BE DEFEATED.
Republicans to Pit w. {. Pearson
Against Congressman Pou.

The Republicans, SO it is announced
will hold their Congressional conVen-
ton in Raleigh on Wednesday, so
that there may be some sort of tick
ct for Hon. E. W. Pou. the Demo-
cratic nominee, to defeat.
II is said that Mr.. w. C. Pearson,
of Chatham, is to get the nomination,
but there is some kick about a
Chatham man getting it as j. A. Giles.
a Chatham man had the last go
at being defeated. What any OF
them want it for is past comprehen-
sion unless it is TO afterwards cite
this a cause for reward, If Republic
can success comes for the crowd at
Washington.
Pearson is a merchant. and lives
near Riggsbee, in Chatham county.
He is said to be a fair speaker and
two wears ago was the Republican,
candidate for sheriff of Chatham.
If nominated Mr.. Pearson will find
a Joint canvass with Hon. f.. w. Poh
is something hard to chew on. If ne
is nominated he will have the OPP
portunity to get the joint canvass.

Letter From Banks.
TO our Customers:
The exnense of collecting items on
points outside of Raleigh has grown
so enormously, and has become such
4 burden to the banks or TINS Guy,
that they have been forced TO auopl
the following resolution, to-wit:
Resolved, That the banks composing
the Clearing House Association, Oh

This plan has not been adopted for
the purpose of making money, but
simply TO save the actual loss to the
banks, which has been very heavy,
aggregating thousands of dollars an
1t is respectfully suggested
to the deDoSitorS of the banks who
handle papers on out of town points,
that this expense can be avoided by
having their customers send them
either cash, express order, postoffice
orders, or checks, on Raleigh or
Northern points.
A money order for $500 will cost
you cents, whereas it costs the banks
about twelve cents to collect checks
from $1.00 to $10.00-not to mention
the five to ten days time required to
get returns.
This course is pursued by the banks
in New York, Norfolk. Asheville,
Wilmington and other cities

the arrangement, and we feel assured
Of the same cordial cooperation here.
