ing after election. There was re-
joicing. there were hallelnjahs and
shouts Of joy as the republicans re-
ceived the news from precinct after
preetuct and the majorities kept II
climbing heavenward. The voting
was the largest in point Of numbers
that ever was recorded in the history
OF the county. While only the
mnioritics were received in some of
the precincts, it's safe to estimate the
total vote at 1890. Every mothers

VANCE VS. SIMMONS.

Collector Simmons made d lengthy
reply to Senator Nance's letter. He
SAYS that he was IN favor of Messrs.
Glenn, Jernigan, Robbins and Henry
to whose solicitations ne yielded and
went to Washington in their behalf.
He was opposed to Mr.. Elias for dis
trict attorney but denies that he was
opposed to Mr.. Gudger for collector.
He did not comply with the request
Of Mr.. Hale, of Fayetteville, who
desired the position of Consul-general
to London, because he did not think
MIR. Hale was ''entitled TO absorb all
the patronage in this service which
might be accorded to North Caro-
lima"
MIR. Simmons tells Of the interview
be had with the. President wherein be
advocated the claims of Mr.. Glenn
over those of Nessrs. Elias and
Gudger. In this, Mr.. Simmons says,
Il was actuated by no thought or
purpose of antagonism to Senator
Vance or fayoritism to Senator Ran
SOM" He regarded both as his
friends. Mr.. Simmons had but one
conference with the President, but he
called twice on the Assistant Secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Josiah Quincy,
whom he told that Dir. Hale's poiiti-
cal career did hot entitle him to such
paramount consideration as was
claimed for him. Mr.. Simmons said
also to Mr.. Quincy that if Mr.. Hale
were appointed in preference to
Messrs. Jernigan, Robbins and
Henry, it would create great dissat-
isfaction in the party. In closing,
Mr.. Simmons denies that he has been
defiant and insulting toward Sena-
tor Vance, but he maint ains that he
had perfect right to do what he
did and in this he did not ''usurp or
invade the rights of Senators from
this State"
The above is the substance of the
Simmons letter. 1t is evident that
Mr.. Simmons took no counsel from
Senator Vance. Probably feeling
that Vance had no weight with the
President, Mr.. Simmons quietly ig-
nored him. This was hardly re-
spectful to Senator Vance. Mr..
Simmons was told to keep his hands
off III regard to certain nominations
or his own selection would be en-
daugered, and We are surprised that
he did not act with more prudence.
However, We hope Mr.. Simmons will
be confirmed. The matter would be
better settled that way. The matter
of the principal appointments in the
State seems to have been botch.-

Although there are few patent lawyers
among women, they have done good
work.
One, New York woman, worked up
quite good practice. At any rate, it
reached sufficient proportions so thet
when two years ago she decided to retire

was able to dispose of her clients to one
of the biggest and most renowned firms
in America.
Mrs Charles T. Brown is a Chicago
woman whose husband is a frequent in

her at once, and she conducts in her own
name all dealings with the patent Office.
