HoKE SMITH IN WASHINGTON
North Carolina Manufactures All the
Cotton 1t Raises.
washington Post.)

Hon. Hoke Smith, ex-Secretary of the
Interior, who was seen at the Riggs
House last evening, said that the cotton
manufacturers of his State were in a
prosperous condition, and that new mills
were being erected in number of Geor-
gia towns.
Georgia" said he, sis the second
largest cotton producing State in the
South, and it will be good many years
before enough factories are in operation
within it's limits to consume the home
supply, whereas in North Carolina the
local yield is about all taken now by the
mills inside the State. The stretch Of
country between Atlanta and Charlotte,
on the Air Line railroad, abounds in cot
ton mills, all of which are making very
satisfactory returns on the capital in
vested, and there is talk of strikes or
reduction Of wages. The planters are
the people who are complaining this
year, on account of the low price of
their product, but there is no lack Of the
necessities Of life among them"

put on the property and this was raised
today to $23, 1000, which proved satisfac-
tory to the creditors. This sale was
confirmed by his honor.

AN HONEST NAN INDEED.
Fayetteville Observer.)


A number of instances of the nice
sense of honor possessed by the late
DR.. DeRossett have been mentioned in
the papers. Here is another, which q
friend has related to US.
A piece of property, in his charge,
was damaged by fire. The damage was
assessed in accordance with the terms
of the policy and paid. In making the
repairs, which resulted in lettering the
condition of the building, he found after
paying all the bills that a considerable
portion of the fund had not been ex-
pended, whereupon he at once returned
the amount left over to the agent OF the
Company. The Company wrote to as
certain who the party was, remarking
that they had never before had such a
case in their long experience.

HIS COMMISSION SIGNED
w. II. HOLLOWAY WILL GO AS CON-
SUI GENERAL TO ST. PETERSBURG.
Telegram from President McTxinIey's
manic Candidate in Question.

Colonel William r. Holloway last night
received a telegram from Champlain, n. Y.
signed by President McKinIey's assistant
private secretary, stating that the Presi-
dent had just signed Colonel Holloway s
commission as consul general of the United
States at ST. Petersburg, Russia. Colonel
Holloway will leave for his new post about
Sept. Is, having intimated to the President
that he would prefer not to leave until
about that time. 1t was announced some
time ago that this appointment would prob
ably be made, and the telegram last night
was no surprise to Colonel Holloway or
his friends. He will succeed John Karel, of
Illinois.
In talking about the appointment last
night Colonel Holloway said he had been
informed that the climate at St. Petersburg
was about the same as that at st. Paul,
Mimi. and he expected a pleasant stay in
the land of the Gar. The salary of the
office is SO, 900 q year, but in addition to this
there are a number of fees, making the
compensation of the consul general much
higher At the present time Russia is i'm
porting a great deal of American harvest
ing machinery, as well as railroad appli-
ances and locomotives for the new lines
in Siberia.
Colonel Holloway is too we'll known in
Indianapolis to necessitate a biographical
sketch. AS private secretary TO Oliver Z.
Morton, both as Governor and senatCl, he
obtained a wide acquaintance with public
men, and met Mckinley when that states
man was serving his first term in Congress.
During Mayor Dennys term of office Col.
Holloway was his secretary, AMI later was
clerk to the Park Board which position
he resigned to go to Washington shortly
after the inauguration of Mckinney.

CITY WITHOUT SECURITY
GAMEWELL BOND, SIGNED BY THE
COMPANY ALONE, ACCEPTED.
Police Telephone Patrol Contract
tration's Queer Business Methods.

No attention will be paid by Mayor Tag
CART or the Board of Safety to charges that
the Gamewell contract was illegally let and
that there was rottenness concealed about
the police patrol telegraph scandal. The
Gamewell Company has filed a $4,000 bond,
signed by itself alone, guaranteeing all APP
paratus for five years. 1t has also filed an
other bond providing that the work shall
be completed within four months The con-
tract was returned from New York duly ex-
ecuted by the officials, and has been APP
proved and entered of record in the boards
minute book, along with the five-year
bond.
1t does not appear of what value the
bond is nor for what purpose it was exc
cuted, inasmuch the company in the
contract with the city agrees to keep the
plant in operation five years, besides which
it promises to protect the city from in
Engagements, suits, etc. The bond is simply
conditioned on the fulfllment of the con-
tract. No one has been able to figure out
what additional protection the bond FUR
nisheS. 1t is as though a man We're to IN
dOrse his own note. The sole idea OF a
surety bond is to hold some one else be-
side the principal for the fultillment OF
contract. If the GameWel Company were
to fail for instance, it is said that the city
would be no better off with the bond tnan
with the bare contract. If there was othef
surety on the bond the surety could be held.

this city, but at the office of the board 1t

begged that the board reconsider its action
in assessing the road. and dwelt upon the
fact that it had suffered very heavy losses
from the floods of last spring as Well as
from the fact that the movement of grain
through the gulf ports meant a perma-
nent loss Of business to the road
Joseph Ramsey vice president and gem
eral manager, appeared for the Wabash
lie declared that the earnings of the road
did not justify the valuation of $25, 900 a
mile put upon 1t by the board It's earnings
were 70 per cent. less than those of the Big
-Four, and yet il was appraised at $1,000 a
mile more. c. o. Bradforn representing

PENSION AGENT REMOVED
Nj. V. ID. SPENCER DROPPED AND }. ID.
LEIGHTY APPOINTED IN HIS PLACE.
The President Acts on the Charges
Preferred by the Old Soldiers
and Others.

It is probable that by this time Martin
Van Buren, Spencer is convinced that the
administration can get along without mis-
services as pension agent for Indiana. Yes
terday the secretary of the interior an
nOunced the appointment Of ex-Represent-
ative Jacob d. Leighty to succeed him, thus
ending his official existence. His term would
have expired next February. Shortly after
the inauguration last spring charges against
Agent Spencer were filed with the depart
ment, supported by a number of affidavits
and Endorsed by a number of the most
prominent veterans of the city. These
charges accused Mr.. Spencer of having VIC
lated the law governing the pension agen-
cies when he took Office by discharging
without cause, a number of ex-soldierS to
make room for political appointees, and
with having used his clerical force to do
work for the Democratic state committee.
Mr.. Spencer was notified OF the charges,
and went to Washington with certain evil
dence to rebut them. He was given access
to the testimony filed against him and made
a defense. All the testimony was carefully
considered by the department for some
months until about month ago, when Sec
rotary Bliss sent a letter to Mr.. Spencer
requesting his resignation. Spencer replied
10 lulS, utCllulHS 10 resign. "A lew udyS
later he stated in an interview that he
would not resign, and did not believe the
President would consent to his removal
Apparently he was mistaken for his re-
moval was delayed only until after the Au>
gust payment, SO that the work Of the Of
flee might not be interrupted by the change
His successor, Mr.. Leighty, is O. pros
porous country merchant at st. Joe station
in De Kalb county. He is an eX-soldier, and
has an excellent army record. His first APP
pearance in politics was in 1894 when he
was persuaded to accept the Republican
nomination for Congress in the Twelfth dis
trict and, to the great surprise OF nearly
everybody, carried this Democratic strong
hold. Last year he was renominated, but
the district returned to its own, and he
was defeated. He had cemented strong
friendships with the members of the Indi-
ana delegation in Congress, and had been
a stanch supporter of Senator Fairbanks
in his campaign for election at the hands of
the legislature When he indicated a desire
for the pension agency the Indiana delega-
ton, headed by Senator Fairbanks, gave
unanimous Endorsement, and it was an
nounced shortly after the senator took his
seat that Mr.. Leighty would be the next
When seen by a Journal reporter last
evening Mr.. Spencer said he should con-
tinue TO hold office until the bond of his
successor was approved. He had received
