Farmer Paul Edmunds. who had made
several Intellectual attempts 10 have the
Republican postmaster at B~rOOkncal,
Campbell county, rcmovcd as soon as he
was informed Of the charge Of cmbezzling
postal funds had been made against him,
called on Assistant Postmaster-Genera
Maxwell and asked if these charges, to-
ecthcr with the fact that his official term
had expired. were not sufficient grounds
for bis immediate removal. After salts
Iylns himself that the charges were we'll
founded he agreed to order his removal
at once. Congressman Edmunds again
recommended Mr.. James NJ. Lawson to
succeed the defaulting official. and the
appointment win be made in a short time.

Senator Hunton and Congressman Mar
shall called on the Postmaster-General
this morning and asked him to again
name a day for the argument in the Bris-
tol p~ost-ofiice matter. Mr.. Bissell made
an appointment for next Wednesday.
Senator Bate. in the absence Of Senator
Harris, and Congressman Patterson and
Snodgrass will present the Tennessee side

Hunton and Congressman Marshall Will

Postmaster-Gencra Maxwell is moving
almost too cautiously in the question OF
removals. and some of his excuses for
allowing Republican fourth-class post
TO hold over are r~idiculOusly alb
surd. There were only two applicants for
the postmastership at Eggleston Springs,
where the time of the incumbent has eX-
pired. and this morning one of them with

man Marshall requested his appointment.
As the one who Withdrew was backed by
n petition, and the other, although strong
~ endorsed, had none. Mr.. Maxwell de-
10 make the appointment until he
He'd a petition. In the meantime Clark
sons appointee holds the fort and draws
he rations.
The appetite for public patronage thus
developed by Mr.. Turner'S cOnstitu-

means, but yet there are a few of them
