Ewart to Remove Clerks.

The Federal court at Greensboro
adjourned Saturday, after two days
session. 1t is rumored that some
sixty odd store keepers and guagers
were indicted at this term. Probably
this is an easier way TO get rid Of them
than by worrying Mckinley about the
civil service order.
There is a stir of excite ment in GER
tain quarters over the rumor that if
Ewart is confirmed he is under prom
Use to remove all the United States
court clerks in this district. 1t is
astonishing how many deals are made
in getting people in and out Of office.
One quandaTy brings on another. To
get rid OF Jim Pearce, the jdnitor OF
tie federal building, at Greensboro,
the custodian had the .janitorship
abolished. Hereafter laborers are to
be appointed. 1t lies between John
Stack and Geo. Hodgin. 1t is said
that Hodgin has promised to chip into

the Republicans have Of getting
money.
1t is said that U S judge was

WAR TAX ON TOBACCOS.
Probable Increase of Revenue Cause:
the Rush for Stamps.

There is considerable speculation
going on regarding the large sales Of
revenue stamps and the big shipments
of manufactured tobacco. The gen
eral opinion is that the customers of
the Winston manufacturers are antic-
ipating war tax and are buying in
advance with the hope of escaping the
extra tax as much as possible.
An Internal Revenue Collector, who
visited Washington last week. is
quoted as saying that there is no lon
ger doubt OF war and measures will be
passed at once making provision for
war taxes. The internal revenue de-
