LEGISLATIVE ECHOS.
NER ee to aemncee
As Condensed From Tho Wilmington
MessengerTs Raleigh Corres-
pondent.
eer ee
Governor Russell made the positive
statement this morning that he would
not accept the judgeship of the United
States district court. One of Lis closest
~friends said Thomas R. Purnell, of Ral-
eigh, would certainly get the appoint~
ment.
Repteseatative Bower, of the legis
lature, from Surry, is here andT makes
the astounding statement that the peo-
ple in his county are delighted with
the legislature ard think it the eblest
ever met in this state.
The state treasurer was asked today
how he proposed to manage affairs,
| when the 1897 appropriations, ete., ag.
gregated $381,000 and the revenues ap-
peared to be only $706,000. He replied
that he would pay all the regular ap~
priatious first and then if there was not
chough left to pay the extras would
pro-rete the balance.
It is learned that there will be a con.
test in the courts regarding the dispen"
sary law fer Cux.berland county. The
;Opponents of the measure contend that
the recent act is detective.
~The dispensary act tor Rutherford-
ton, as ratified, is made absurd by a
clerical error. The latterin fact makes
the law operative no matter whether
~g {the people vote for or against a dis-
pensary. It says, instead cf oinopers '
iD ooperation. �
Director Speight, one of the new
board of the central hospital for the
insane here, arrived today. He says
the old board wishes to test the legal
i.y of the new ect by a friendly suit.
Mention was mode yesterday of aru-
YJimor current here that the new board!
proposed to take charge torcibly. Dr. |
Speight says Dr. Kirby,
tendent, had given orders not to admit
the new board. Dr. Speight added that
the new board might meet at the cap--
the Superin-
itoi inste: d of at the hospital.
Notice has been given the superinten-
dent of the Central hospital that. the
new board of directers would, in ail
probability, agree vomcrrow to allow a
test case to be mad up and go before the
supreme court. This will s2ttle the
status of all the asylums. Superinten-
dent Kirby could do no less than insist
on this course. The court will probably
act speedily on this matter.
Two Signs,
Somebody bent on fun played a joke
on Capt. C. A. White Thursday night.
Wild onioas had been making too much
headway on the CaptainTs beautiful
lawn and he was having thom carelully
dug up, one side of the yard being al
mest clear of them. This morning
there weret wo signs, nicely lettere],
standing out on the lawn, one on either
side of the walk way. One of them read
oDonTt walk cn the grass,� and the
other oKeep off our onions,� The fel~

oW.e@ most ovserved waman of the
foreign legation in Washington is Mrs.
Pom Ye, the wile of the Corean Min-
ister. ~She looks like a Chinese, tut is
not so pretty as the vite of the Chinese
Minster. Mrs. Pom Ye is little and
broad, and her most attractive feature
is her almond eyes, Which are particu-
larly bright. She wears her native
dress, andthe most magnificent mate-
rials imaginable. Her silks and satins
are covered with ~embroidery magnifi-
cent enough to entitle it to a pace in
any museum or art collection. There
has never been any attempt to dispense,
general hospitality at the Corean Le-
gation, but this little ladyTs husband is
2 very rich man, and he says when he
tsa little more familiar with our cus-
toms he is going to give dinners to the
world and his wife.
~There are four Oriental ladies in
Whashingiou society this winter, but
only the wives of the Chinese and Co-
rean Ministers wear Oriental costumes,
which seems a ureat pity. Mrs
Hoski, the wife of the Japanese Minis-
ter, seems te. have more Occidental
freedom than ihe others. She appears
t do exnctly in every way as other
society women do, Mrs. Morighian,
who presides ec the Turkish Legation,

tary, the Minister, despite plenty at

He Never Takes a Drink,
There was aman here yesterday who
has not taken a drink of water in thirty-
twe years. His name is William W.
M. Hunter. His home is in Kinston.
He is ex"sheriff ot Wayne county, Mr
Hunter does not refuse to d-ink water
ecause he drinks something else; in-
deed he never takes liquid refreshments
of any kind. He does not dunk for
the simple reson that he doesnTt want
to. Yet heisas strong, hearty and
healthy as are other people.
It was in 1865 that he quit drinking
water. He was in prison at Fort
Fisher. The water there seemed to be
: od but the food was searte and bad.
The vesult was that hundreds died of
Sivinavn troubles, the
plissicnns said, by the poor food and
the wat, Mr. iiuntorTs trouble be-
came cronic and the water grew dis
tastetul, so he discontinued its use, He
soon recovered und never to this day
has he had any uesire tor a drink of
water, Sometimes, he says, he grows
thirsty, but it is ndt water that he
craves, but something juicy and slightly
acid, lixe an apple or orange. He very
seldom drinks cottee, tea, milk or beer,

The Oldest Odd Fellow.

in the State. We believe that Weldon
At the end the}
one year in the penitentiary and a fine, |
can claim the honor of the very oldest |
Odd Fellow in North Carolina.
Mr. W. T. Whitfield, the agent of
the Southern Express Company here,
and one of the most highly esteemed
citizens of the town, was born on the
day and year that Odd-fellowship was
introduced into the United States, viz:
April 26th 1819. Mr. Whitfield took
all the degrees in 1841 in old Domin-
ion Lodge, No. 5, Portsmouth, Va.
He was a charter member of Weldon
Lodge No. 1, instituted in the same
year, 1841. The Weldon Lodge sur-
rendered its charter in 1844 and Mr.
Whitfield returned to the Portsmouth
lodge, and has been an offical member
of the order ever since.
As the Odd Fellows celebrate the
day on which the order was introduced
into the United Sta:es, as a matter of
course, all Oad Fellows of the whole
United States observe Mr. WhiifieldTs
birthday, and this is perhaps,more than
any other Odd Fellow in North Caro-
lina or any other Siate can claim."
