Wilmington, n. c., Aug. IL
Especial .)-Surely but
slowly the Republicans, opposed
to and mad with W. IL. Chadbourn,
because he wrote a letter in the last
campaign. are trying to weave a net work
of wrong around him. The first Chap
ter was Enacted when a postoffice agent
was sent here, and the public generally
believe with specific orders to recon-
mend Chadbourn's Dismissal. No one
that knows what yard of calico at
5 cents yard would cost, believes that
w. I'll. Chadbourn was guilty of robbing
or defrauding the government out OF
one cent. or that he was I'M such dire
straits for money, the family OF Chad-
bourns being easily worth a half mil
lien. as to do any defrauding to get the
small increase of $3.50 a month added
to his salary 1t is true that he was
anxious as all the citizens of Whining
ton were that this should be n first class
postofiice as it means more and better
mail facilities But the true reason that
Mr.. Chadbourn resigned was that cam
paign letter. A prominent ReDuDll-
can stated today, that Senator Pritch-
ard said about two weeks before the
election, that it made no difference which
way the election went, that he would
have Chadbourn, and the Republican
furthermore stated that 1T was the only
political promise he had ever known the
Senator to keep.
The second chapter is for the Republic
can papers and their comrades TO make
out what a hein0Is crime Chadbourn mas
committed, and that the Haunting vi
sion Of Prison Baq-s"-six scare heads
would make the people believe that Chad
boutn had really defraudpd the govern
ment. The bluff is called and will be
found to be bob tail flush. and so sure
~ as the sun shines in the armament so
surely will the people who do wrong get
their just deserts.
1t was alright to remove Mr.. Chad
bolarn if the Republicans thought it
best for their party to remove hsm. but
no man, no party has a right to try to
blacken any ones name and it will prove
boomerang on anyone who does it.
1T would be better for the Republican
party to state openly and boldly why
his removal was demanded, and not
throw mud and make out it was because
of irregularities.
miss Mary Darby's appointment was
IusStd ti4i ulSAuNStd Bs iliC DroiittAldhSs
and if Senator Pritchards ears did not
tipgle it was not because he was not
spoken of in emphatic terms. The rank
and file of the party has not the coni-
dence in the Senator they scl,ee had and
his own trends accused him of trucking
to Gov. Russell, while the Russell COM
tingent did not appreciate new bully
in town.
Miss Darby will make an excellent
postmaster. She was a school teacher
before she was appointed postofice clerk.
and is a woman of more than average
executive ability. 1t is so stated that
she and Mr. French would have been
married ere this but MIR. French being
a protestant and Miss Darby's mother
native of Ireland and a violent Catholic
opposed it. Miss Darby preferred to re-
main with her mother until the latter
died sometime since.
All the world loves a lover and faith
full one. / do not believe that the South
ern people are so ungallant that, while
they would not tolerate Mr.. French as
postmaster, they would not as Miss OAR
by's husband, provided he kept hands off
the postoffce, and let her run it, What
God has Joined together let no man put
asIInIder.'
The Trucking Association held a meet
ing and accepted the bid of the Ar
mours of Chicago to transport their
products for next year. There has been
great deal of just complaint ON the
part of shippers, arising from schedules
and icing, also high rates Rates have
been reduced and a responsible compa-
ny employed to handle the truck
