Holton Sent For Him and Made
Him Write a Letter.
NOW HAS 1T IN HIS POCKET
He Will Probably Make 1t Pub
lie Wednesday.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED
Afraid PopuIists viii Desert For raii-
ing to Garry Out the Contract
by Taking Russell
Down.

els Pat Massey coming down was
asked of Chairman Holton last night.
''No not coming down, but he is 60
ing to cooperate" he replied. eve
agreed that we would not oppose
Strowd and Mr. Massey is willing to
abide by the action of the committee.
For him to stay in the race would be
to simply divide the cooperation vote"
'sHas he written his letter OF with
drawal?"
ssHe has. He was here to-day and
had it with him. 1 read it over and
approve of the sentiments. 1t is an
open letter to the voters of the district,
outlining the situation, giving his rea-
sons for withdrawing and advising
his friends and party associates to
vote for Strowd, the cooperation can
didate. The letter will be given to
the public next Wednesday"
"Why do you wait until then? Are
YOU uncertain as to what arrangement
the Republicans and Populists Will
make, and you want to wait and see?"
Mr.. Holton smiled significantly, but
refused to answer the question.
Another prominent Republican,
whose name am not at liberty to give,
said that Mr.. Holton had sent for Mr..
Massey and had helped him write his
letter of withdrawal. He added furth-
er that there was reason why tins
particular time was selected and why
the letter was written now and the
fact made public but not the letter.
ssWhy was it?" he was asked.
ssWhy, for effect on the pending deal
between the Populists and Democrats.
Holton is scared, badly scared, and ne
is trying to mollify the Populists. he
promised them TO take Russell down
and he hasn't done it and the Populists
are mad. That is the secret OF the
whole business.
When Mr.. Massey was asked about 1t
he did not care to talk, but he ventured
the explanation that the State COM
mittee had demanded his withdrawal,
and he was going to get down, for he
considered the State committee like
the Supreme Court--a power from
which there was no appeal. He added
that he was still good party man
and willing to do anything for the
good of the cause.
Mr.. T. p. Devereaux, who has been
aiding Mr. Massey in his canvass, SAID
that sthe letter of withdrawal that he
is said to be totin' around in his pocket
is new to him. He said if Massey had
any idea of getting down Saturday,
when he left him, he knew nothing OF
it. He added that Massey was making
a very strong canvass, he believed he
would carry Johnston county il there
wasn't great change in public sentl-
ment and he was allowed to run.

A GIN HOUSE BURNED.
Mr.. Jesse Winborne Loses Between
$4,000 and $4,000 by Fire.


$4,000 and $4,000 by Fire.
Sunday evening about 5 O'Clock the
gin house of Mr.. Jesse Winborne,
prominent farmer living in Swift Creek
township, about eight miles southwest
of Raleigh, was burned, with all its
contents, consisting of two gins, con-
denser, press. five bales of seed-cot-
ton and about $500 bushels of cotton
seed. The engine and boiler were also
ruined. Twenty one bales of cotton in
the gin house yard were either de-
stroyed or badly damaged-six of them
were entirely consumed, six were near
ly destroyed and the others more or less
slightly injured. Fear that The boiler,
around which the fire was raging,
would explode, prevented much of the
cotton being saved. The loss is esti-
mated ait between $4,000 and $4,000,
with no insurance. The origin of the
confagration is unknown. Mr.. Win
borne stopped ginning at about 4
o'clock Saturday, and the fire was dis
covered about o'clock Sunday. 1t
broke out in the press room, and the
flames made rapid Roadway.

but the opinion seemed to be quite as
general that this result was not with
in the range of possibility. The entire
question was referred to the committee
with very liberal powers.
Senator Gear brought up the Pacific
railroad question as did Senator Lodge
the immigration bill. The Pacific road

GROVER DON'T CARE.

Washington. d. c., Dec. S.-There has
been much gossip in Washington as to
the attitude of the silver men on the
appointments which the president will
g II to the senate for confirmation. 1t
is frankly stated by some of the silver
democrats that they will not agree to
the confirmation of the gold democrats
appointed to office during the recess of
congress. 1t is as frankly admitted by
members of the presidents official
household that he has little hope of con,
firmation and that he cares very little
what the silver men may do. He has
made these appointments without ex-
peosation of their holding longer than
his W time. Secretary Francis will
remain in the cabinet until March 4.
whether his appointment is confirmed
or not. SO will Commissioner For
a Francis could not remain longer
if confirmed and Forman does not ex-
pect to. The point with the president
is said to be that he wanted to get rid
CT the democrats who. while holding
Office under his administration, did not
hesitate to abuse him. and there are
many mor who may be dismissed from
the service for pernicious activity.
There are many charges on file in the
postofice department against men who
did no hesitate to show that they had
no respect for the president. They
thought they would win favor with Mr..
Bryan by abusing Mr.. Cleveland, but
since the election they, their wives,
their daughters, cousins and their aunts
have been most urgent in their appeals
for mercy. and that tl.sy shall be allow
ed to serve out t. cir terms. Many Of
these will not be disturbed, but some
will be removed and their SUCCESSORS
will not be given n assurance that
the president cares to have them re,
main in Office longer than he does. He
does not expect that n of his recent
appointments will hold over under the
next administration, and his friends say
that these appointments are not made
for the purpose of rewarding friends so
much as to get rid of men who have
been unfaithful to him while serving
under him.

IMPETUS TO AGRICULTURE.

such an impetus in these states that all
