A NAVAL RULING
By General Lemley Regarding Retire
ment of Officers.

General I3emley has decided adversely the
contention of the navigation bureau that
in making retirements of officers under
the terms of the personnel act the officers
should be retired in accordance with their
rank, no lieutenants, for instance, being
retired until all of the eligible captains
had been retired. The judge advocate
general holds that the intent of the act
was to prevent wholesale retirements in
one grade which might be disastrous to
the service. wherefore the law specified
the number of officers which should be re-
tired in each grade. The decision is prac-
tically reaffirmation of one provision
ally adopted at the outset of the applica-
ton of the nerSonnel act.

Rutherfordton, September 13.-Co.
a. NJ. Waddell, the distinguished and
eloquent Wilmington orator, who is a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, opened his campaign here today,
addressing a good crowd at the court
house. He was introduced by State
Senator NJ. H. Justice, who said: 4
ave known Col. Waddell for many
years. He is a native of North Caro-
lima, and a good man and is worthy of
the Senatorship of North Carolina.
He was one of the first men in the
state to enter the Confederate army.
He was a member of the Third North
Carolina Cavalry, and his record is
we'll known to the old soldiers of this
state. 1t gives me much pleasure to
introduce him to you today"
Col. Waddell began his speech by
saying he was exceedingly grateful to
Mr.. Justice for his many compliments.
Cal. Waddell said:
Il heard there was going to be a
meeting of the old soldiers here today
and was sorry l did not get here
sooner to take part in the proceedings.
1 ann an old soldier myself" turning to
the dc soldiers who a~pplauded him,
IAN am proud of it,
After telling of his war record he
talked a short while about Mr.. Bryan
and President Mckinley. He said the
people should think a little more
about state affairs h the presiden-
tial election. He stated: Il am more
interested in the welfare of the people
of North Carolina than anything else
Just now. We are the most conSerya-
tive people in the United States, L
must say"
In speaking of the result of the Au-
gust election he continued: Ito give
the credit to any single individual of
the party would be absurd, 1 am a
candidate for h United States Sen
ate. That is what i am here to tell
you, and am here looking after my
own interest and not to make a po-
litical speech altogether"
He said there were 5000 votes cast
in Wilmington and that only two were
cast against the amendment and three
against Charles Aycock.
He said the negro question as a race
issue was dead. 1--WE don't propose to
has nothing to do with denouncing
Mckinley for appointing negroes TO
federal offices. The negro question
has ended as it ought TO and as we
expected it to.
II do not set up claims for myself.
1t is for the people to say whether or
not 1 am the man to be Senator or to
say that I deserve it. If either of the
other candidates is the choice of the
people and deserves it n mas been
more loyal to the party than l, / have
nothing to say. = l have been
to congress four terms, eight years,
and never asked for a vote or attended
a single convention that nominated
me in my life. I think I am due some
consideration in this race and if elect
ed 1 can only promise I will fill the
place to the best of my ability"
Col. Waddell concluded by saying
that had it not been for the people Of
Wilmington there would have been no
amendment to vote for.
He was a%pplauded throughout his
speech and it can safely be said that
he has made for himself a great many
votes in this county.-Charlotte OBJ

Fayetteville, September Is.

Fayetteville, September Is.
Captain J. B. Smith, ex-sheriff of
Cumberland county, is again an aspi-
ram for the position of door keeper
of the senate in the next legislature.
If the members elect of that body
knew him as we'll as do their prede-
cessors, they would esteem just as
highly, and he would go into office
unanimously; for, Owe and above his
excellent qualifications for the post,
he enjoys great personal popularity
over almost the whole state.
Captain Percy Gray, of Greensboro,
is registered at the Hatel La Fayette.
He and Mr.. W. NJ. Morgan, of this
city, are largely interested in the Cape
Fear Electric Power Company, the
plant of which will be established at
Buck Horn. They inform the Mes
senger correspondent hat the enter
prise is on a satisfactory basis, though
the Unexpectedly heavy work OF sur
veying and engineering, with b in
terruptions incident to the state cam
paign, has somewhat retarded oper-
atoms. In due time, however, they
will reach h waiting industries Of
Fayetteville and other points with
their electrical transmission OF power.
and the ultimate success of the COM
pany is almost certain.
Mr.. B. G. Hollingsworth, residing on
Person street, lost his dwelling and
much Of his personal property asst
night by fire. Though the hour was
comparatively early, the alarm was
very slow in reaching the fire depart
ment, otherwise the house might pos
sibly have been saved. There was an
insurance of 81, 900. During the pro-
gress of the fire Mr.. John Gorham,
while working h hose, received a
painful injury to his right knee.
The Eccles Park plan will probably
result in a definite arrangement at the
next meeting of the board of aldermen.
by a proposition to lease the property
for fifty years, h city government
to keep 1t in good order as a public
square, with the condition that the
people of Fayetteville, individually.
