McNeiu Writes the Manager
About the Great Meeting.

The Messenger gladly makes room
James D. Mcneil, president of the
North Carolina State Firemen's Asso-
citation, to wit:
Fayetteville, n. c., May %.
Editors Messenger:
/ have delayed replying to your re-
quest that / give you some informa-
ton in regard to the coming firemen'S
tournament in your city until L had
received replies enough from u mem
bership to enable me to speak with as
Surance. / can now assure your people
that, should we not have another ac-
ceptance, the attendance will certainly
be large and unprecedented. Every
body seems to have their heads set
upon going to Wilmington, and l nave
been encouraging them, by all means
within my powers of persuasion, to
keep their minds running in the same
direction.
1 only hope that we will not overdo
the thing and crowd your good people
so that you will be sorry you ever in
vited us.
The firemen of the state are looking
forward to the pleasant event OF their
organized existence, and /, for one, do
not think they will be disappointed.
The west will come because they ham
ker after the SeaShore-fSh and such
things; the east because it is near to
home and they want to come anyhow;
while the central is always ready to
embrace every opportunity to leave
home in July.
/ was the honored guest of the Char
lotte fire department at their recent
interstate tournament on the 23rd,
met there the visiting firemen
from Columbia, Sumter, Charleston,
q
S., and was assured by them that they
would be with US in July. They are a
splendid set of fellows M will make
our crack state teams hustle from away
back to prevent them winning all the
honors of the Interstate occasion.
Every department in Virginia, Geor-
gia, and South Carolina has been in
vited and many of them have accepted.
Your honored mayor will join me in
al invitation to the mayor and chair
man of the fire committee in every
town and city in the state, n this
feature will add to the interest of the
occasion.
We iremen propose to prove to your
folks that 1--WE are the people" and that
other organizations are not lin lit"
with US in either intrinsic value, merit,
citizenship, membership, manhood,
good looks or good behavior Except
just before bed time on the last day.
The railroads have made us a good
rate and have extended to US every
privilege thai we could or would ask,
IND I confidently look forward to the
best time for the firemen IND the big
gest event that Wilmington has ever
had.
We will give the show; let your busi-
ness men look to the commercial side
of the occasion.

TROUBLES
OF Maj. Rathbone Con-
tinue to Grow.
Accused Of Suppressing l0rders From
Postmaster General.

Washington, July l.-Charges more
serious than those of mere extrava,
gance in expenditures will he preferred
against Major Rathbonc, late director
of posts in Cuba. Indeed, 1t was not
the simple fact that he had been eX-
travagant in his expenditures, nor was
II because there had been misappropria
lion of funds under his management.
that finally led TO the decapitatiou Of
Major Rathbone.
From an unofficial but trustworthy
source 1t is learned that the imme-
dlate cause of the order of removal
was the discovery by Mr.. Bristow, dur
ing his examination of the Cuba postal
affairs, that Major Rathbone had sup.
pressed an important part Of letter
written TO him" by Postmaster O., ~
eral Smith and designed TO he fur
nished in copy to the auditor of the
Cuban postolfice. In this letter Mr..
Smith distinctly Informed Major Rath-
bone that the latters per diem expen-
ses must no longer be paid. In trans
mitting to the auditor a copy of this let
ter Major Rathbone suppressed that
part which referred to cutting off his
per diem. The order for the majors
removal followed Immediately upon
Mr.. Bristow's discovery OF this fact.

And Help TO Notify Mckinley Of His
Nomination.

While the fact that the Young Law
yers' Republican club of this city did
not 20 III body TO the Philadelphia
convention caused Il great deal of com
ment in political circles, and aroused
curiosity as to the exact standing of
the organization in National politics,
shrewd observers were never at sea,
and nothing in the countenanccs of the
members of the club indicated aught
other than irrcpressible gaiety and sat
isfaction with the doings of the world.
Prominent men who are close TO the
administration, never once doubted the
prominence Of the young Lawyers Re
publican club of Akron, That the club
was not officially invited to Philadel-
phia means nothing other than to show
the consummate strength of the Or
ganization. You recall the story of the
historic wedding, where they held the
good wine until the last and thereby
made great hit with the guests. So
with the Young Lawyers Republican
club! 1t has been held until the last
official act connected with the conven-
ton. The club will so to Canton Thurs
day to be present while President Nc
Kinlcy is being officially notified of his
denomination. Thus will the club
constitute the, cap-sheaf of glory be-
slowed upon the President.
The members of the club are all re-
joicing like a strong man to run a
race" They knew that glory awaited
them, and they will bear their honors
with the chivalry of ancient knight
hood. They will line up on the public
square at Canton and shout for Me-
Kinley, as yet never was man
shouted for, and they will burn red
fire. redder than was ever seen in Can
ton. Promptly at 8 o'clock a, m. Thurs
duy, the club will leave for Canton,
and with friends of the organization,
the party will number 80. 1t is OK
pccted that Congressman Dick will go
with the party, and add to it a great
deal of prominence that 1t might not
otherwise enjoy.
Every member of the club will go to
Canton, So that none of the other mem
bers may acquire any advantage to be
used in the great campaign for prose-
cutting attorney. Members of the club,
with unfeigncd sorrow, deplore the ex-
tremcly hot weather forerunnlng dog
days, and not admitting of an early
start in the campaign by which all
hope to achieve glory.
