Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 9, 1905.
The soIons are here and the citizens
of the Capital City are happy as the
Governor of North Carolina said to the
governor of South Carolina, cts long
time between drinks two long years
but the biennial gathering of the peo-
ple's representatives is here. A large
majority of the legislators are comfort
ably domiciled at boarding houses and
with private families. on account, it is
said, of the advance in rates at the sho-
tells. Raleigh is noted for her numer-
Gus boarding houses and their excel
lency of character. SIT COSTS some
thing to live here, but the acconoda-
tions justify the expense. Represents
tives from the west, with few excep-
tlons, are quartered at private houses,
seemingly contented and happy. A fine
collection of gentlemen and all appear
to be ''looking after the interests ot
their constituents"
The general assembly of 1905 began
It's session ON Wednesday, Jan. 4 at l.
o'clock. with the usual ceremonials
The senate branch was called to order
by the retiring Lieutenant Governor
Hon. w d. Turner. who will preside
until Judge Winston, his successor
qualities. The following offers were
chosen: A J. Maxwell, KinstOn, who
has held the position twice before, ,prin.
cipal clerk; w. L. Cahoon, of Elizabeth
City, reading clerk; j. w. Simpson, ol
therfordton, engrossing clerk; L. B.
Pegram, of Raleigh, ser. at arms; Rob
ert NJ. Staley, of Wilkes, assistant sef.
fgeant ut arms. Max%eH and Can6or
are from the east, Pegram from the
] center, Simpson and Stanley being
mountaineers. All were elected unani-
mously except Mr.. Simpson, for whom
the handful of republicans declined to
vote, because, as registrar in Ruther
ford county, he refused to register a
negro. He is now under Indictment in
the Federal court for his failure to rec
ognize the coon as qualified voter
Pearson, of Burke, is the only repuhli-
can in the senate who voted at all for
engrossing clerk. The other six played
"mums."
The house was called to order by Mr..
Frank D. Hacket, the principal clerk,
who was reelected to that position.
Mai. w. A. Graham, of Lincoln, was
called to the chair temporarily and up
on his instructions the members present
came forward to the speakers desk as
their respective counties were named
and Chief Justice Walter Clark admin
istered the oath of Office. Hon. O.. 81,
Guion, of Craven, was elected speaker
receiving 96 votes to II for Mr.. j A.
Crisp, of Caldwell. Mr. f. B. Arren.
dell, of Raleigh, was reelected to the
position of reading clerk and John e.
Kerr, of Caswell, one-legged Confeder'
ate soldier. door keeper. Hon. M D
Kinsland, of Haywood was chosen en-
crossing clerk and Mr.. David James, ot
Pitt, assistant door keeper. The west
has received her full share of the pa
tronage. which evinces the party's ap-
probation of the splendid result in the
tenth district last November. A promi
nent democrat from the east said te
the writer some days ago: lyon folks
are entitled to large portion of the
walks down here this time. Yours
made the best showing of any distric
in the United States, with the possible
exception of the fourth in Maryland
Mr.. E. B. Norrell, of Cherokee, i:
again in charge of the enrolling depart
ment, this being the fourth time he has
: filed this position. Mr. Norrell is 6
courteous and competent official and hi!
continuance in Office is a distinct com
! pliment to him and an advantage te
the law-making body as we'll. In the
; assignment of minor positions our sec
tion comes in for lions share. Among
those having places are: Otis Self ane
Roy Leatherwood, of Jackson, W. B
Jenkins, of Macon, A. d. Raby, of Ora
ham and j. J. Mackey, of Buncombe
The successful termination of affairs in
i this connection is largely due TO the
efforts of Hon. w. T. Crawford, Corpo
ration Commissioner, S. L. Rogers ant
} others, whose wide acquaintances in tht
state and thorough knowledge OF manip
ulating things to the best advantage
