Marriages
Still Light

Marriages still showed a decline
in Vance county during May, as COM
pared with the like month year
ago, and with the preceding month
of this year, an examination of the
records in the office of the register
of deeds indicated ! today. Last
months total was only ten licenses,
six of these being white and four
colored.
In May last year there were 10 Ii
census issued in this county, includ-
ing ten white and nine colored. In
April of this year the total was six
white and five colored couples. For
the, first five months of 1899, only AZ
white and "a colored couples took
out marriage licenses in the county,
total of 76, compared with 81 white
and SO colored, or a total of SO, for
the first five months of 1888.
The only explanation was the sup
position that the rigid health re-
quirements imposed by the 1899 Cen
eral Assembly were driving many
couples to nearby Virginia to have
their "knOts" tied.

About Ended
For The Year

Tax listing for 1889 has virtually
been completed for the county, and
those now entering their property are
being accepted under the head of cal
lowed to list" and are subject to
penalties imposed for those who fail
ed to turn in their assessments dur
ing the required time, it was stated
today by Miss Dorothea Woodlief,
county accountant and supervisor of
listing.
Miss Woodlief said listing had been
completed by the designated list
takers for all of the rural townships,
and the scrolls have been worked
out for three of these-Nutbush
Dabney and Watkins. Scrolls are now
being written up for Williamsboro
township
Miss Woodlief said valuations in
the three townships were virtually
the same as last year, with little per-
ceptible increase or decrease. She had
no statistics for Henderson township,
largest of the nine, and which will
likely be the last one to be COM
pleted.
The lists will be completed as
rapidly as possible The county COM
missioners shortly will begin consid-
GRAFTON of the new county budget,
and the tax rate for the year will be
made against the property valuation.

Few Changes
Expected By
City Council

Whether city employees, including
firemen, policemen and street de-
partment executives are elected at
the City Council meeting next Mon
day or at the regular meeting the
fourth Monday night in June, indi-
cations at this time are that there
will be few changes. If present mem
bers of the three units are to be dis
placed, members of the Council were
so tight-lipped about it that moth
ing was heard generally in that re-
spect.
Members of the Council chosen for
tWo-year terms at the annual NUM-
cipal election May 2 will be given
the oath along with Mayor Henry T.
Powell, who was reelected for a Sec
ond term of two years. Only one
change in the elective personnel of
the administration will be made, B.
H. Hicks taking the oath as alder
man from the second ward
At the meeting next Monday, the
Council will elect its own members
to various departmental SUPERVISOR
ships and also will name the city
clerk, the assistant city clerk, the city
attorney and the mayor protein. Frc:l
B. Hight is the present mayor pro-
tenn City Clerk S. B. Burwell and w.
G. Royster, assistant city clerk, are
expected to be reelected, as is also
A. A. Bum as city attorney
The fact that there is only one
change in Council membership is
taken as an indication that few, il
any changes will be made in city
personnel, including the water de-
partment.
Mayor Powell is preparing a brief
address to be given at the inaugural
meeting, in which he is expecting to
set forth certain proposals and poll
cies for the new administration.

and changes in the UniveIsity's teach
ing staff. DR.. McDonald's name was
not on a list submitted to the eXecu-
tive trustees recently (GOV. Clyde
Hoey said this list contained no "im-
portant changes or addition" but that
list wasn't final-the governor said
so; and it is not at all unlikely that
the Mcdonald appointment will be
submitted to the full board on Mon
day.
Aside from the possible appoint
ment of Dr. Mcdonald, the most in
teresting bit of business on the trus-
tees agenda will be selection Of a
comptroller to succeed the late Char
les Woollen.
For this post wide variety Of
names has been mentioned and there
is the absolute certainty Of the nom
nation of at least one individual,
Leroy Abernathy of Asheville.
Mecklenburg Marvin Ritch has
served notice on all hands that he IS
for Mr.. Alternately and that he fully
intends to nominate him for the post,
no matter what the regular nominat-
ing committee does and no matter
what recommendations DR.. Frank
Graham, University president, may
have to make.
Leroy Martin, Raleigh banker and
one time School Commission secre-
tary, has been mentioned frequently,
but he laughed the matter off with
the remark, "What chance do you
think a Wake Forest man has to get
that job"
Assistant Director of the Budget
Bob Deyton has been touted for the
place; but he is a Duke graduate, a
fact which may work against him.
Other names have been banded
around in dope" sessions; among
them Dewey Dorset, one-time indus
trial commissioner; Herman Baity,
sanitary engineer professor at Chapel
Hill; j. Benton Stacy, director of
purchase and contract; and several
others.
There have been no real inside
tips" on the appointment, SO far as
this correspondent is aware; and any
prediction of the new comptroller'S
identity would be absolutely nothing
but guess, pure and simple.

There is some explanation due in
regard to these changes. We are plan
ming to have breakfast on the train
in order to save time. In as much
as we would like for each individual
to have light lunch to- eat on the
tram that night. You can if you wish
carry enough tor breakfast only buy
ing drink possibly. Again, since
we can't check into our rooms until
IL noon, we have tried to utilize that
inbetWeen time on this grand sight
seeing trip, of supper and lower New
York, returning for late lunch.
In order to be able to take in the
performance of Radio City Music
Hall, we have to have reserved
seats for that particular time. These
seats are SIPS per person. In the
original plan 40c had been for a morn
ing performance for general admlS-
sion. This leaves an additional $.35
to be added to the balance due for
this trip.
We would like to call to your at
tentiOn to the advantage of this plan
over the first one with only small
addition. You will have all of the
sightseeing in New York as plan
ned before with the advantage of
two days at the fair instead Of one
OF course, you understand trans
portation to the fair for Monday was
paid in the trip, and will take care
Of the transportation for Tuesday.
which as we have stated in the plan
above will be zoe and 1Oc to check
your baggage at the station.
We trust that you understand why
these changes were necessary and
not optional on our part, We had to
consider the band and the time they
were required to contribute for en-
tertainment, and felt that in all fair
ness to them, another day at the fair
should be arranged, if possible.
| want to also call your attention
to the fact that the balance due on
this trip must be in my hands June
in order that all reservations NAV
be fully paid. These are the stipula-
tons of the HIM Tours under whose
direction we are making this trip.

LIGHTING EXPERT
SPEAKS TO GROUP
H. M. Horton, of General
Electric, Demonstrates
Proper Lighting

Lighting, its birth, growth and fu-
ture, was told to group of Carolina
Power and Light Company employ
ees, contractors, and electricians last
night at the local office of the COM
pany by H. NJ Horton, divisional
Lighting engineer of the General
Mr.. Horton discussed light sources
up to the Edison lamp of 1879, the
birth of modern Lighting
Since the days of Edison's first
lamp, improvements and adaptiOns
have been made on his lamp, so
there are today over 100000 types
and sizes of lamps, ranging from the
grain of wheat light used in the
bronchoscope to the largest lamp us
ed for flooding
Scientists today, Mr.. Horton point
ed out, are trying to develop new
light sources. Incandescent lamps,
with Tungsten gas and filaments,
can not exceed 6,1OO degree F., the
melting point of the filament. New
ways must be found to improve the
light, giving the customer his great
est benefit from the power purchas-
ed, he said. The speaker declared
the modern trend is to gaseous
lamps, cointing out that the mer-
curry vapor lamp, water cooled has
one-tenth the brilliance of sunlight.
Another step is the flourescent lamp
about $50 to ECO times more efficient
than the modern lamps
In discussing lighting, the speak
er declared that wires used to bring
the current to the light source are
most important Without proper
current, proper light cannot be OBJ :
tanned. He demonstrated with a
chart, showing as the voltage to the
light source failed, the higher the
cost of the lighting unit He urged
proper wiring for proper lighting
Mr.. Horton gave a demonstration
of modern store front lighting, US
ing miniature store. He showed
the many ways proper lighting could
be used to catch the eye Of the pass
ing public.
At the conclusion of his talk, the
speaker gave demonstration OF
"black light invisible to the eye.
but when flashed upon chemically
treated objects, it brought out all
their brilliance.
All during his talk, Mr.. Horton
| wildly demonstrated with electri-
cal lamps his various points. He
followed the use Of lighting, the con-
troll of lighting, and the advantage of
good lighting
William Bailey, manager of the 10
cal office, welcomed the visitors, and
presented Mr.. Horton.
