HokE SMITH
And His Chilly Reception of Visiting
Maine Statesman.

A visiting statesman from Maine in
quest of post offices for his friends had,
according to his own story, 'rief and
brusque interview with the Secretary of
the Interior the other day, which may
serve for warning and example. He
sometimes reads the New York Sun, and
has consequently developed lively Curl
osity as to what manner of thing Hoax
myth may be. So while in Washington
he went to the Interior Department.
The attendant at the door advised him to
postpone the interview, as the Secretary
had had great many callers that morn
ing and was tired. But the visitor from
the Ossipee Valley, whose time was linn
tied if his gall was not, persisted; and
presently the two fat men confronted
each other.
"What in hell do you want?" grufay
q cried the Georgian, glancing up from
his desk at the olive-bfowed giant who
lowered above him.
"Nothing, except to take look at the
Secretary of the Interior pleasantly
said the man from Maine.
s'Well, that won't take long," growled
the irritable Secretary.
''No," was the tart retort, "Ive seen
all want to of you. Hogs are no rarity
down my way" and the visitor turned
upon his heel.
That is the story the fat man from
Maine tells. Maybe it is true; for the
Honorable Hoke Smith complains bitter
ly of the opportunities of the Office seek
ers. Concerning his trouble with them
the Globe, published at Durham, N, c.,
place famous for the veracity of it's to-
baceo, has the following to say:
Jim Davis wrote a letter to Hoke
Smith several days ago, congratulating
him on his appointment to the cabinet
and offering services, should Hoke need
them, in controlling the Indians, and re-
ceived this reply
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
WASHINGTON, March 20, 1913.
Mfr. Jim T. DGgis, Durham, N. C.
My Dear Sir-I thank you very much for your
congratulations. AT present the applicants for
office are giving me more trouble than the In
dians! Very truly yours, HoKE SMITH.
Jim and Hoke hunted coons together
when both lived on Chapel Hill.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The Bangor Savings bank will COM
mence Monday next paying its semi-an-
nual dividends, as usual, but there has
been a reduction in it to the rate of 81
per cent annually, instead of 4, which
has been the ruling figure at this bank
for long period. The reduction was
brought about, the trustees say, by the
recent action of the legislature in chang
ing the tax rate upon savings bank in
vestments and the depositors will thus
feel the effects for time at least, or un-
til it is shown that the new arrangement
will not materially affect savings bank
earnings.
Considerable speculation is rife
among the horsemen over 9. FL. Nelson's
having again secured the famous trotter
Aubine, which he sold to Major Dicker-
son of New York city for a very large
sum. One of Nelson's friends says he is
going to mate Aubine and Nelson and
thereby secure team which will clean
out Hamlin's 'sBelle Hamlin and Flobe, ]"
which have records of 2.121 as a double
team. Nelson denies that he has bought
the horse.
Hon. A. R. Bixby of Skowhegan, and
Hon. J. P. Bass of Bangor, two of the
Worlds Fair Commissioners, leave next
week for Chicago to complete all the con-
tracts for the interior work and furnish
ing of the Maine building at the EXPOSE
ton 81 ounds, intending to rush matters
so that it may be opened May 1st. There
has been more delay on the Maine build
ing than ON any other at Chicago, the
commissioners having been handicapped
by granite strikes. the lack of funds, the
delay necessitated by the long distance
that material has had to be transported
and other reasons. But it is expected
that the building will more than meet
the expectations of Maine people upon
it's completion and there will not be like
ly to be any criticism of its cost.
