Senator Ransom made brief but
strong speech in behalf of the fast
Southern mail appropriation of $l9G, 600
and as usual carried his point by eight
votes. Senator Jarvis voted against the
measure in the interest Of economy
This is one mistake our junior senator
has made. The way to practice economy
is not in such directions as this. What
ever encourages business men is the
safest sort of economy. The place to
begin economy is in the United States
Senate when there are too many clerks,

things | will mention at length in the
near future | believe when Senator
Jarvis attention is called to these tom

North CarOlinians here speak very
highly Of the appointment Of Judge w.
r. Allen by the governor Of North Caro-
lima. He was educated at Trinity college
and read law under his father, Col. w.
r. Allen, who for eighteen consecutive
years represented North Carolina in the
state Senate. lie is closely related to
Judge Allen q. Thurman and Hon. w.
Allen, of Ohio. His mother, Miss Maria
Goodman Hicks, of Granville, was named
for an aunt who will be pleasantly re-
membered by all the older residents Of
Raleigh. She is buried in the Old GENE,
terry in Raleigh beside her uncle, Hon.
Absolom Tatum, member Of the second
congress, a man Of extraordinary ability
whose remarkable and rOmatic history
has never been written but who is the
only man to whom the legislature Of
North Carolina ever erected a monu
ment. Judge Allen inherits Judicial and
executive ability from both sides Of his
family, and trust this is but the begin
ing Of an illustriOus career for him He
is about 33 years old.
