Governor Gleun left this afternoon
for ElOn College, to attend the COM
mencement. He tells me that he will
not be able 10 attend the dedication of
the at Bethel, Va, to Hen
u l.. Wyatt. but that Secretary of
State Grimes vi represent him there.
H:r. Crimes i Il god speaker nj has
splendid material fol the address he
will deliver. 1t appears that a good
many NORTH Car>li..ans will go to
his affair. TnCse Tom here will go
{, er the Sraboard III Line from Rich
nOnd inc then take d train on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway to Nor
risOn, which is only four miles from
the battlefield. At Morrison vehicles
will be in readiness to take them to
the scene.
Tomorrow the legislative committee
on the code will meet here with the
code commission, to pass upo the
work lone and also to approve the
contract which has been made with
Uzzell & Company, the public printers.
If the contract is approved work will
at once begin on the printing. There
will be 1900 copies of the second vol
ume and $500 of the first. The state
owns all the type, so that in the fu-
ture changes can be made very cheap
ly. 1t is the purpose to have the code
printed by next August, which is the
time named. The first volume will
sell for So and the second for 81. The
index will cover 400 pages, and it is
said will be the most complete ever
made. George P. Pell, of Winston-Sa-
lem, is specially arranging it.
The Confederate veteran drum corps
here, the only one in the country, Will
: not only give a concert in the capItOl
square at Richmond about 6 O'Clock on
the afternoon Of June 18th, but will
also serenade Governor Montague at
the executive mansion there the same
afternoon. No doubt this will prove
quite an attraction.
The band of the Third regiment, Of
the National Guard, is to be located
here and will have a strength OF Is
members, there being now %. 1t is to
be made a very fine band, and no
pains are to be spared to effect this.
In connection with this there will be
a Philharmonic Society.
It appears that some, of the cOlOred
normal schools are not i'll good shape
and there are ~intimatiOns that the
number, now four, will be TO
two. -,
At the Agricultural and Mechanical
College acre TO-DAY the graduating eX-

Senator Simmons left today for the
east. When asked where he would
spend his summer he said it would
not be at Beaufort, but that he ex-
Dected to travel a good deal. he eA-
presses. very great regret that ne a
boon forced to abandon his trip with
the senatorial party to the arid regions
of the west. The party will leave
Kansas City June 1. The senator a
felt much interest in the matter OF
irrigation and has looked forward with
Measure to making this trip. He was
asked his opinion of the Industrial
Parliament held last week at Wash
inyton and replied: ut was a very
great success along every line. l do
not think the South ever got so much
valuable advertising. Evidence is ac-
cumulating daily to show that North
ern interests in Southern development
and in immigration to this section has
very greatly developed, and that his
marks the permanent organization of
a movement which will give regular
representation to every industrial in
terest of the South.
