Dr. Monroe, of Davidson College. who
was named by Governor Russell as su-
perntendent Of the Western Hospital.
made Of a leading Republican why it
was that Governor Russell. after some
very plain limitations that ne desired
Dr Murphy 10 remain I'M charge of the
western Hospital. had named DR. Mon
roe. The reply was that Burke county
was one of the few which declared for
Governor Russell, and that the pressure
for DR.. Murphy's removal came from the
Burke Republicans. To the inquiry why,
the reply was made that it was simply
and solely because they wanted "pie."
That is now In North Carolina the uni
versal term for "ofIice." "The wonder
is that man of Governor RusselFs
common sense should listen to such a
plea was the comment OF the Republ-
can above alluded TO- The Republicans
wanted all the minor places at the hos
pital
DEEPLY DISGUSTED.
The regular Populists are deeply dis
guested with the Republicans, and have
cast the boilers into outer darkness.
They are now talking plainly about the
need Of getting i'm line with the Demo-
Gratis, but they want the latter TO drop
the name Democrat" Leading Popu-
lists give assurance Of startling changes
in the next two years.
Notice is officially given. that the Agri-

publishing it's bulletins of fertilizer ana
lyses omit the exact figures when the ana
lyses show they are up TO or above the
guarantee made by the manufacturer
If the percentages are below the guar
antee, the exact figures will be given.
Two reasons are given for this change
first, that it will prevent manufacturers
from sending out special hgh-grade lots
early in the season. so as to get high
figures, and second, it will be fair TO all
persons concerned.

hand TO take the control of the three
hospitals for the insane from the Demo
