When in private life our governor had a very pleasant expression, but like all the others, he has acquired, in office, the expression of an iron dog." Raleigh's most widely-known citizen is Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and publisher of the Raleigh "News and Observer." This paper, published in the morning, and the "Times," a rival paper, published in the afternoon, are, I believe, the only dailies in the city.
Mr.Daniels has been so much discussed that I was greatly interested in hearing what Raleigh had to say of him.

The men on his paper seemed to be very fond of him; others held various opinions.
In 1894 Mr.Daniels came from Washington, D.C., where he had been chief clerk in the Department of the Interior, when Hoke Smith was Secretary, and acquired the newspaper of which he has since been proprietor.

In its first years under Mr.Daniels, the paper is said to have gone through severe financial struggles, and there is an amusing story current, about the way the payroll was met upon one occasion.

According to this tale, the business manager of the paper came to Mr.Daniels, one day, and informed him that he needed sixty dollars more to make the payroll, and didn't know where he was going to get it.
