Senatur Moody says that the
bill changing, the county govern-
mentas now ready and-would be
introdwted yesterday. He savs
that the office of Commissioner
will not be abolished bat the pres
ent boards will be allowed to
hold on uatil their terms expire.
He says that the Commissioners
will be elected jast ike members
of the Legislature with this
exception, that a voter instead of|
voting for five men will be allow-
ed to vote five times for one man.
The magistrates are to be ap-
pointed as now by the Legisla
tare. Soit seemsthat the much
ocussed� boards of County Com-
missioners are not to be abolish
ed. May be some credit would
have been given the august body
new in session in Raleigh for |
not ding this if Major Guthrie
had not let the cat out of the bag
when be said in an interview that
the office of Commissioners would
not. be abolished because thereT
was oconstitutional impediment.T
The credit due them is this it
seems. They donTt doit because

~Branklin's Ghe Chess" ~Table.
The most. interesting piceeof gure »
niture ig the receptien roonk at the |
residence of Mrs... D- Gillespie is
a table which no one nowadays
would presume to-call: a chess taple; |'
but such it is, and was the prized |
property of Mrs. Gillespie's pttrae|
~grandfather, Benjamin Franklin.
Mrs: GillespieTsaysT that her mother, -
who: was three. years | old when-|
Franklin died, éould remember see-
ing the great philosopherand states- | -
man while away hours over the
chessmen. -The table is of mahog-
any and of ordinary height, though
rather small...
The top.is. abardeby dich vindacetes
and it looks as though there was lit-
tle room for the royal.game. There
is a sliding piece, however, that
comes out just under the top.in some
manner similar.to that of.,the pieces
used in the modern roll-top desk. At
the back there is a long, upright
sliding frame in which is~stretched a
piece of silk. This Mrs. GillespieTs
mother ~recalled seeing Franklin.

Eloquence Interrupted.
During a political campaign, a
well-known lawyer in. a. western
state was addressing an audience
composed principally of farmers.
Like a wise speaker"and a shrewd
candidate"he tried to suit his
speech to the occasion.
In a tone which he evidently con-
sidered both cordial and honest, and
with a winning smile, he began:
~~My friends, my sympathies have
always been with the tillers of the
soil. .My father was a practical
farmer, and so was my grandfather
beforehim. I myself ~was born on a
farm, and was, so to speak, reared
between two stalks of corn.�
Here his eloquence was rudely in-
terrupted.by-the trumpet toresrof a
farmer in the rear of the hall.
~oJimminy crickets!T he shouted,
~if you ainTt a pumpkin!�
The house ~~came down,� and_ the
candidate, for the moment, at least,
was sadly embarrassed."YouthTs

he tells me a great mavy new and
interesting attractions have been
secured. The exhibits will be
numerous and varied, and the
racing will be fine. The rail-
