there are now $50, 600 members OF the
order, scarttered all owe the United
States, but that the paper has only
5000 circulation, as nothing has been
o to push it. This is reason Why
the paper was moved here. The order
is quite stror : in North Carolina, en-
bracing in its ..embership all h pres
ent state Officers. Mr.. Faison was
asked some questions about organized
labor in North Carolina and said h
last organization formed was of teleg-
raphers. at Raleigh this week. He
says he does not know Of any other
organization of telegraphers in the
state. The largest union in North

Of the carpenters being probably sec
ond in size, and the printers third.
There is no organization Of cotton mill
employees. There are really few or
CARNATIONS in the state, these being
restricted to expert labor, which ought
to be the case, Mr.. Faison says.
Today was the fourth day OF rain. \
great deal has fallen, at least in this
section of the state. but it is said not
too much. There will hardly be any
complaint of drought for some weeks,
after this.
Professor w. F. Massey has sent to
the southern part of India both Span

North Carolina, these to be planted at
one of the government experiment

There was brought to the free dis

a baby only a few months old, whose
case was pitiful. Last winter his
mother and two children murdered by
a brutal negro, who was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged here, but who
has appealed. The negro who brought
the sick baby here declared that the
murderer ought never to have been
brought here that he should have been
lynched on the spot.
Adjutant General Register and Quart
ermaster General Macon came here to-
day to arrange about the encampment
Of the Second and Third regiments.

chanical college here beginning next

Some of the papers are asking how
the estimates were made as to number
Of Cleveland lnen in the state. youT
correspondent having said that promi.
nent people had said there were not
over 5000. Those who made the esti-
mate declared it was a safe line, but
today in chatting Nth an ex-chairman
of the Democratic State committee
about the matter he said there were
many more than 5000 Democrats In the
state h believed in Mr.. Cleveland
and who would like to see him Presi-
dent, but at the same time did not
think it good policy, politically speak
ing to nominate him. The ex-chalrman
added that if the people were voting
as they would for the head of q cor
poration that many thousands of them
would vote for Mr.. Cleveland.
There is to be a new council OF the
Junior order Of American Mechanics
aere, his resulting from a split in the
local organization.
