Collector Elias expects to appoint the
three stamp clerks for Winston this
week. He will not go to Winston before
the appointments are made, as his
business will not permit of his doing so.

was here yesterday in consultation with
the Collector concerning the Winston
clerkships.
Clerk Roberts, of the Ashevillc office,
went to Lincolnton today, to spend a
few days at home.
