Governor Glenn was last night elect
ed an honorary member of the Indus
trial Club, of Raleigh. The age limit
of active members is 45 years and the
membership is l25 despite the fact that
the club is little more than a month
old. A new building and loan associa-
ton is being formed under the auspices
of the club.
A rather peculiar situation is on be-
tween the High Point furniture manu-
facturers, the Southern railway and
the corporation commission in that the
commission expressed the idea last
evening that the proposition of the
Southern made yesterday to furnish
ten furniture cars a day and all the
thirty-siX and forty foot box cars that
the furniture people needed and in
augurate a system whereby the rail
road authorities would keep in touch
with the orders received by the furni-
ture people and supply the cars as
needed, ought to be satisfactory. But
there came last night kilograms and
letters from the furniture people that
this was not at all satisfactory and de-
handing that the commission proceed
at once to force the Southern to COM
ply in detail with the demands made
by the furniture people.
Raleigh is to make an effort to get
the permanent ~encampment for the
North Carolina National Guard. A
committee has been appointed by the
Industrial Club to take the matter up
with Governor Glenn and the members
of the military committee having the
matter in charge. They regard the
state capital as the logical location
for the encampment if there is to be a
permanent location.
Probably as many as 500 people
went from Raleigh to Ellington today
to participate in the semi-centennial of
the founding of Harnett county, in
progress there today. Governor Glenn
was down for an address IN connection
with the celebration, but could not be
there.
Hon. John D. Bellamy, eX-cOngress-
man from the Sixth district, spent last
night in the city en- route from Will
mington to Ellington, where he is one
of the speakers for the celebration to-
day. He said that while he is hard
at work now practicing law he does
not know but that he may get in the
race for the democratic nomination
for governor to succeed Governor
Glenn three years hence, especially in
view of the fact that the eastern part
of the state is entitled to the nominal
ton next time.
The GaZette-Messenger Publishing
Co., of Washington, n. c., was char
tered today to publish the Gazette
Messenger, the capital being $4,000,
authorized, J. c. ROdman, Jessie War
rem and .Junius D. Grimes are the
stockholders.
Another charter is to the Daniels
Hahn Horse and Mule Co., OF New
. Bern, $4,000 capital, by L. B. Daniels
and f. NJ. Hahn. Also the Mt. Olive
Gin and Manufacturing Co., of Mt
Olive, capital $1,000, by w. f. Martin
and others.
4 decided improvement is reported
in the condition of George w. Nor
wood, chief clerk to the secretary of
state, who has been desperately i'll OF
typhoid fever for several weeks.
There seems to be a good deal of
disbelief as to the building of the pro-
jected electric railway between Raj
eigh and Durham and a great many
persons are heard to say they do not
believe it will ever be put into opera
ton. One of the promoters, Mr.. Sta
Piles Fuller, of Raleigh says it will GER
tainly be built though he does not
know when the work will begin.
The roof of the agricultural building
at the A. and NJ. College has been COM
pleted as has also the entrance which
is a triple one and from the north side
and which is very imposing. Painting
is in progress and the interior work
has begun.
Jones Fuller, Esq, of Durham was
here today, mosquitoes having compei
ed him to leave for a while the survey
of the Vedder lands in the southeastern
part Of the state. These insects have
given him a dose of malaria. Prof.
Riddick and the surveying corps are in
the field.
Curator Brimley, Of the state mu-
scum, has returned from a visit TO Hat
teras. where he took a vacation He is
very fond of that place and indeed 1t
is very pleasant. He came this way
through the great sounds n as he
passed Davis Shore. where a story
sent out last Saturday said a boy was
eaten by a shark, he heard nothing OF
the matter and said the people along
there seems to be as happy as usual.
That story seems to be a great fake
and some newspaper man was evident
" imposed upon by a story teller. if
reports be true. Mr.. Brimley says that
at Hatteras he saw a sea serpent of
such length that he had to go to the
top of the light house to see his head
and tail at the same time. He estimat-
ed its length at a mile. but was much
chagrined when told by Secretary Bru-
uer of the agricultural department,
