The Yarborough is an exceedingly good hotel for a city of the size of Raleigh, especially, it may be added, when that city is in the South.

The Capitol, standing among trees in a small park, also gathers a fine flavor from age.

In one of the many simple dignified apartments of this building my companion and I were introduced to the gentleman who was governor of the State at the time of our visit.

It seemed to me that he had a look both worn and apprehensive, and that, while we talked, he was waiting for something.

I don't know how I gathered this impression, but it came to me definitely.
