Half the members of the late General

resented Harnett county in the Legisla

who should be Judge SeymOur'S success

Washington to swell the army of pie
hunters that are now .encamped round

The Colonel wants to be Collector. OF In

of Raleigh want him to be- since Re
publican must have it, and Col. Martin is
the only Raleigh man who is A candidate
for the place. The Colonel took along a
valise that he says is filled with samples
of the stacks of recommendations that he
proposes to send to Washington later. as
entertaining reading matter for the
President during his idle moments
Mr. +. c. Duncan, Of Carteret, is also
a candidate for the place-perhaps he is
Col Martins strongest opponent. He is
now in Washington pushing his claims
to the place, lly-he'H

Judge Spier Whitaker has returned
from Washington. 1t cost him several
days Of hard work aud board bill sew

not in the race for the Fedora Judgeship

Another man who would like equally
as much as Judge Whitaker TO sit on the
wool sack, is Mr.. Charles 4. Cook. of
Warren. who was here yesterday grid
ing mp his loins to enter the race in earn

the Southern Railway is better satisfied
to have Mr.. Cook just where he now is

Judge Russell is attending strictly to
his duties as Governor and saying nary
a word about that vacant judgeship.
Mr.. j. NJ. Mewborne, of Kinston, ar
rived here yesterday He is hungering
and thirsting to be Commissioner Of Agri-
culture. He was appointed two years
ago, but his appointment was illegal and
he had to go back to Lenoir county and
be commissioner of agriculture on his
little Neuse river farm. When the Leg
islature of 1897 met he picked his flint
and came again. He tried to get the eau
Gus nominal ton from the boiling Populist
members, but he failed by one vote and
DR.. D. Reid Parker carried off the COW

surances from a ma ority of the board
that they will vote for him in preference
to Parker. The place pays $1,000 year

/ The proposition to put tariff on cotton
was introduced, we hope, merely for the
purpose Of showing that the protection
lists will do nothing for the farmer. What
the farmer needs is not sham protection
on what he raises, but an end to all boun-
ties and bonuses to everybody. The
only way the farmer could be helped by
Congress would be to give him a bounty
on cotton as was given on sugar. We
do not believe in thus robbing Peter to
enrich Paul.

LEAF FROM PRITCHARD'S DIARY

Let us imagine: Pritchard dressing in
his room at the Ebbitt. Knock at the
door.
Well, who's that? with emphasis on the
-'who's'O.
That you, Pritchard? (smilingly).
What's left Of me.
I'll wait down in the lobby.
Who are you, may ask.
(Hesitating): Don't you know the
voice? Why, Marsh.
Yes, yes, Marsh-how are you Marsh?
hate to keep you waiting, Marsh.
/ don't mind. How long before you
get down?
Not long.
1n the lobby: How are you, Pritchard?
The doctor says l have been seeing too
much company.
Seen Holton yet?
Yes, and am in a HI of a fix.
Why, is there any trouble about the
District Attorneyship for me?
You had breakfast?
Three hours ago.
Drop down to see me to-day.
Can't we talk better now?
Do you think, Marsh, that could have
come back here if Holton hadn't pulled
that Republican crowd back to me that
were going over to Butler that second
day at 2 a. M?
What's that to me? Couldn't l have
been Senator?
Can't you take in a situation?
I can take in my situation.
We must be patriotic, you know.
Yes, / know.
You can't conceive of what I have
gone through.
I have some idea Of what you've got
TO go through, if don't get that job.
Oh. rats, no use in making threats
about it. You know / am your friend,
and will give you something just as good.
That settles it, Pritchard; don't let me

room. What occurred after breakfast

DIR. MONROE ON LOW GROUND.
The Removal of DR.. Murphy Would be a
Blunder Equal to Crime.
(Statesville Landmark

tStateSVlIIe Ilandmark)
The Wilmington Messenger complains
because DR.. Monroe, in declining the
superintendency of the State Hospital
at MorgantOn, did not put it upon the
high ground that he would not be a party
to displacing for mean, partisan ends the
able gentleman, DIR. Murphy, who has
managed the asylum from the start with
so much OF efficiency and credit to himself
and the State" So far from doing this,
however, we happen to know that DIR.
Monroe, for reasons which it is difficult to
understand, wants to see DIR. Murphy dis
placed at Morganton. The Messenger
will see, therefore, that it was not any
delcacy about taking DR.. Murphy's job
that prevented DR.. Monroe from accept
ing Governor Russelrs offer.

upon a very light vote. Six counties
elect state senators, who will hold over
to vote for a successor to James Smith
as United States senator. The coun-
ties in which senators are being voted
for are Burlington, Cape May, Hunter
don, MiddleseX, Passaic and Sussex.
The retiring senator from Hunterdon
is a Democrat. The retiring five mem
bers from the other counties are
Republicans. There are IS hold over
Republicans and two hold over Demo-
Gratis in the senate. The Democrats
will probably make gains, especially in
the lower house.

German will be returned. Both par

Chairman Norman b.. Scott, of the

claims Baltimore city by not less than

Republicans a majority of the coun-
