Governor Glenn is preparing "a circu-
lar letter Il all the Jutiges or the SDpe-
rior court, requesting them 10 see,
through the county commissioners and
grand juries, that all the lails Are made
safe. SO that prisoners can be kept in
their respective counties when under
conviction of capital offences and not
have TO be taken TO other jails for
safe-keepin@, SO as to avoid in future
Il repetition OF such Il spectacle IL was
presented III the case Of Dan Teachey,
who, on account Of the absolutely I'M
safe condition OF the Jail at kenans-
vile, had to be kept at Goldsboro and
from the latter was taken to the place
of execution a day before the time, a
spectacle for gaping crowds on the
streets and trains.
The governor will leave here next
Tuesday night and will stop at Went
worth, Rockingham county, to hear
he eXtraditiOn case of i. l.. Williams,
charged with forgery at Independence,
Va. The governor Will determine
whether to honor or refuse the requisi-
tlOII GI UONeIIlOE AhoItdSuC LUZ NA-
liams. He has had correspondence
with Governor Montague about the
matter and the latter has asked him
to act as he thinks best, after hearing
carefully all the testimony. The gov
ernor will leave Wentworth Thursday
night or Friday morning and 60 to
Charlotte to see the First regiment and
the Gatling battery in camp. On ac-
count of this hearing at Wentworth he
is prevented from attending the semi
centennial celebration of the creation
of Harnett county, at Ellington. He
regrets this very much.
The. governor, as has already been
stated, has respited Will Adams, the
Wake county murderer, until August
q. His respite was t~elephOned from a
station between here and Ellington,
the day before the execution was to
have been. He received afterwards a
letter from Judge Moore, saying the
latter had received an application to
recommend Communication, but desired
some time to look into the matter and
so asked the governor to respite. The
governor notified him that action had
been taken.
The new code goes into effect August
LIST, but Chairman Womack, of the
code commission, says it will not be
printed before October list. All the
amendments are in type, but this will
have to be re-arranged, a work OF
much labor.
State Auditor Dixon returned at mid
night from a trip to MurfreesDofo,
where he addressed 300 Confederate
veterans at a reunion, these represent
ing four counties. Over 5000 people
were present. He then went to Stony
Creek and addressed the Masonic gath
ering yesterday, the attendance there
being also large.
Mr.. n. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, was
asked what he thought about the pos
sible vote here on the barroom ques-
ton and said he had no doubt that the
d%ispensary would win out again. The
call for the election is on the question
of saloons, under the high license ordl-
nance. and he a Y the prohibitlOnlsts
Will stand by the ~dispensary.
The historical commission today Sc
cured a very fine copy of Brickelfs his
tory of North Carolina, printed at Dub
lin. Ireland, in 1877. 1t is a finer copy
than the state now has, having the
map. Brickell stole most of his infor-
nation from Lawson, the first histo-
rian of North Carolina
Chairman J.. William Bailey, of b
State Anti-Saloon League, was asked
if my elections would be held in the
state this year on that question and re-
piled hat he did not know of any. He
added that the deck had been swept by
elections last year.
The rains continue almost daily, and
have resulted in greatly increasing the
weed Of cotton, etc. The damage to
crons is declared to be very consider
