The navy department is doing every
thing possible to make the inquiry
open and above board! The new gun
shop. at the navy yard fitted up for the

military tribunals ever held in the
country. 1t is recognized that there
is great public interest in the inquiry,
and the department has departed from
the ordinary regulations governing
such affairs to make. it as public as a
trial in any civil court.

Raleigh, n. c., August 20.
Ex-State Treasurer Worth says that
at the next tenn of Wake court he will
pany. which is the surety for w. II.
Martin, his defaulting clerk.
The state Superintendent Of public in
struction says he is simply amazed at
the defiance Of the constitution OF some
towns. 1t IS required that all fines i'm
posed by cities and towns shall go to
the public schools. The authorities OF
one town that, rather than
allow their fines to go to the schools.
they Will no longer impose any. This
has made the state superintendent very
indignant. Some towns are endeavor-
ing in all sorts of ways to compromise,
while n law is express and while the
attorney general decides hat there can
be no compromise.
The state charters the Plant City
Luber Company, of Asheboro, capital
s25, 900; c. P Finch, of Townsville, and
others, stockholders. The company will
manufacture furniture, also sash, doors,
etc.
A tobacco buyer here says it is not
probable hat Raleigh will have any
leaf warehouse during the coming sea-
son; that there is no sign OF the re-
opening of any warehouse. At one
time there We're three. Last season
there was only one and sales were very
small. Yet there is more tobacco plant
ed in this county than there was last
year. The tobacco market here has not
been looked after properly.
The proposit;Cn'to issue $4,000 more
of street Improvement bonds here was
lost by a small figure. n chair
man of the street committee, John G.
Drewry, says there will in con-
sequence be little or no work done; but
merely protection of old work. He says
seventy-three blocks have been macad-
amized, which is about a fifth of the
total. Not n few streets here are as
bad as the ordinary country road. He
says a few of the worst places may be
macadamized. The opponents of the
bond issuse say that the vote is one OF
censure of the street committee and
hat the latter ought to resign. The
leading opponents IA that in that
event they would vote for a bond issue.
Filling is pretty high. There is regret
at the stoppase of permanent improve
mentS.

Clinton, N. c., August 20.
The rumor that ex-senator Marion
Butler and others associated with
him will build q cotton fac
tory at Elliott. near Clinton.
has some foundation. 1t appears
n a Butler has interested western cap
ital and that the stock is all subscribed.
He is turning his attention to business
and is said to be getting rich in Alaska
mining investments. He recently re-
turned from n trip to Alaska and has
now gone back there. He is in close
touch with ex-senator Pettigrew, who
is said TO AVE given him tips in some
deals that turned out well.
The people OF Clinton have secured an
option on the college property here and
Will tender il to Wilmington Presby-
terry and ask that it be accepted as a
location for h school for boys to be
established by the Presbytery. The
property is conveniently located, en-
braces ample grounds, and could not
be duplicated for less than So, 900. Gin
ton feels sure that it will get the school.
Ex-Governor Russell has been here as
counse in the contested case of Fowler
VS.. Thomas, involving the seat in con-
gress from the Third district. This is
his first visit to Clinton since his adj
venture with a monkey here in recon-
struction days. when he fled the town
to save himself from violence. Some
who then the monkey on him
now welcome him back to Sampson.
Verify. many changes are wrought by
time.
The pension law enacted by the last
legislature IS z lavish measure if car
ried out to the letter. Sampson county
pays some $1,000 all told to the state in
axes. The applications approved for
pensions from this county amount to
$1,000, so if the law is carried out Samp-
son should get all her state taxes back
in pensions.
Mrs. Margaret Mckenzie, an aged
lady living in the county near here,
has bought II presented to White
Oak Baptist church a cemetery which
she has had enclosed with an iron
fence n appropriately beautified. She
has also had built a hearse and donates
this in connection with the cemetery.
The Clinton tobacco warehouse is
having good sales and prices range
high. There will be a big break here
mex Thursday. Several good buyers
are here.
