DUKES INFLUENCE DIDII
HE WILL PROBABLY BE AP-
POINTED NEXT WEEK.
ATTORNEY HANCOCK WILL THEN RESIGN
He viii BE- Succeeded by VIM {. Clarke
This Will Leave The Postmastership to L,
D. Pope Had Mccarthy Lived He
Would Have Been Appointed.

1t is stated upon good authority that
L. ID. Hewitt, of Carteret county, is to
be the next president of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad.
Hewitt is backed by the Dukes, being
the manager of their Carteret Lodge
property, and it was through their in
tluence that he has secured a promise
of the appointment.
1T is also understood that Col. An
drews has indicated to the Governor that
Hewitt would he acceptable to the
Southern in case that road should lease
the Atlantic and North Carolina, as it
very probably will.
All the other candidates have retired
from the race. They were all Republi-
cams except Hewitt, whose politics is
i said to be rather uncertain, with Popu-
listic tendencies. 1t is expected that the
Governor will send in Hewitt's nomina-
ton at the next meeting of the board.
Also, it is understood, Il new attorney
will be chosen. Mr.. Seymour Hancock,
son of the former president, Robert Han
cock, has been the roads attorney, but
about two weeks ago he came here and
indicated to Governor Russel his desire
to be relieved of his duties as attorney.
He will send in his resignation when the
board meets again and VIM. E. Clarke,
of Newbern, will be elected to succeed
him.
And this brings ME to the Newbern
postoffice fght-for it is all a wheel
within wheel.
There has recently been n very bitter
contest over the appointment as postmas-
ter at Newborn. Three candidates-all
strong men-were in the field. They
were ex-State Senator w. I. Mccarthy.
l.. ID. Pope and VIM. L. Clarke. OF
these Mccarthy had the inside track
and Senator Pritchard's endorsement. In
fact he would probably next week have
been appointed. But yesterday morning
death interferred and now the race is be-
tween Pope and Clarke, with Pope in the
lead.
And the snarl between these two it is
proposed to settle next week by MAX
ing Clarke attorney for the Atlantic and
North Carolina and leaving the postof-
fee to Pope. That is the programme.
Whether it can be strictly carried out
remains to be seen.

appalling death that still threatens limo
cent men. 1t is a slow and lingering death
from consumption. One sixth of the hui
man race die from this relentless enemy of
humanity. Probably no subject connected
with health is so important and so little
understood as the conservation of vital
force. The human organism is a wonderful
machine, anG is SO constructed that if ex-
haustive draughts are made upon the vital
forces during youth and middle life the
mechanism responds for the time but at the
expense of its future usefulness. The man
who overworks or exhausts himself day
after day is constantly overdrawing his
store of vital force. Finally the mechan-
ism of supply breaks down and the man
becomes q -ohysical bankrupt The me-
chanism of supply in man is his stomach.
There the food is transformed into vital
force. If the stomach is weak and the di-
gestion impaired, the body ceases to re-
ceive and store up vital force If the
draught is continued, consumption or some
other equally fatal disease is the result.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a
great producer of vital force. 1t enables
man to daily store up energy to do almost
any amount of work or stand any amount
of exposure. 1t does its work through the
stomach. 1t makes the weak stomach
strong 1t facilitates and increases the
flow of digestive juices. 1t promotes and
perfects the assimilation of all the life
giving elements of the food. 1t is the
great blood maker and flesh builder

Colonel Bingham, the superintendent
Of buildings and grounds, were all in
the full uniform of their rank.

he spent few minutes in close con-
ference, going over the situation
briefly.
Representative Hull Of Iowa, Chair
man Of the House Committee on Mill

All day yesterday, following the re-

important conferences were in progress
at the White House and the War anu
Navy Departments. AS the result Oh
these conferences, plans have been per-
fected for the retention of the Philip
pines. the Immediate invasion Of Cuba
and the occupation of Porto Rico. Tele-
grams have been sent in all directions
advising military and naval command
ers of the adoption of an aggressive
policy. and in six weeks the war ought
to be at an end In the meantime,
Spain's fleet in the Atlantic will be
sent to the bottom of the ocean.
