The Committee Decides Upon August 22nd For
the Ceremonies.

The committee on the Vance statue met
yesterday afternoon Richard H. Battle
presided. The other members present
were DR.. r. Fl. Spcight, J. ID. Boushall and

work of the farmers will be over, as the
crops will have been laid by. Chairman
Battle was given authority to appoint a
committee of five on plan and scope.

County Commissioners Refuse to Remit Pen
atty of @ 500 Against Mr.. Jones.

The Board of County Commissioners
completed their work yesterday afternoon,
and adjourned until the first Monday in
July The session yesterday was taken
up entirely with the consideration OF
Sheriff Jones' settlement
A large number of accounts, dating
some OF them, several years back and a
mass of figures relating to Sheriff Jones
accounts with the county and State, were
gone over and examined into by the board
the result of which is that they find the
State to be due to Sheriff Jones the sum
of 1888 for taxes. A certificate to this
effect was made out by the board, and
will be used by Sheriff Jones in obtaining
the amount due him from the auditor.
petition was placed before the board
from Mr.. Jones, praying that body to me-
morialize the Legislature to remit the
penalty of $500 which has been placed
against him for failure to settle. The
boaNEefused to grant the petition.
This means that Mr.. Jones will have
to settle in full with the county. The
county, after a costly contest through
the courts, obtained a judgment against
him for an amount, which, including the
penalty of $500 will approximate about
81 900, and the board does not seem in
clined to exert themselves toward hav-
ing the penalty removed.

and emphatic language the taxing power.
1t is true that the courts have held that
the Commission, under the law, has this
power, but it is desired by the COM
misssoners to put the matter beyond
controversy.
Another amendment to the Act that
will probably be asked will be to give
the Commission power to hold sessions
elsewhere than in the office here in Raj
eigh. This, the Commissioners think,
ought to be permissible in Investigations
of all sorts, being much more convenient
to those who have to attend and less ex-
pensive.
The bill making these changes has been
drawn, but not yet approved by the
commissioners, meeting will probably
be held today for the purpose.

TO ABOLISH vARINA PosToFFICE.
Loge Harris About the Appointment of c. "
Seat.

1t was announced. unoffcially. sew.
eral days ago that Senator Prltchard
had decided to appoint new post
master at Varina in the southern part
of this county. The postmaster there
now is Mr.. j. ID. BallantIne, most
cstimable MANN fact, one of the
best men in the county. In his place,
it was said Il man named {. w. Seat
would be appointed.
This news aroused considerable OPP
position among all classes of people
in the Narina section, and the new APP
pointment is now meeting with deter
mined opposition i'll the Republican
party.
And then when the additional news
came that not only would there be
a change of postmaSters. but that the
office as we'll would be moved and
its name changed from Narina to Sip
pehaw. Mr.. j. c. l.. Harris decided
that it was about time something was
done. So he sat down and wrote to
Senator Pritchard, setting forth the
opposition to removal and giving reas-
onS why, as he thought. the President
should. under no circumstances, APP
point Seat. He told him that he had
it on good authority that Seat often
drank to excess and was not the
proper person to be in charge of a
postoffice.
''And YOU are at liberty" added
Mr.. Harris to show this letter to
Mr.. Seat.
Also. before concluding his letter,
Mr.. Harris had some pretty sharp
things to say in regard to the politics
of the appointment, and the manner
in which he had disregarded the
wishes of Wake county Republicans.
eff this is the kind of game you
are trying to play he told Mr..
Pritchard,' just let me know and am
prepared to meet you. The time has
not yet come when we will quietly
submit - being slaughtered in this
manner"
Though Seats appointment has been
announced his commission has not
vet arrived and Mr.. Harris is doing
all in his power to have it held up.
