The business side OF dairying is what
Superintendent Converse is endeavor-
ing TO bring prominently before the
people In his practical illustrations at
the Pan-American. 1T he succeeds in
awakening an interest In this sadly
neglected side OF ~dairying, he will have
accomplished a great deal. Ii is not
SO much the results of this particular
dairy, important as they are, but the
fact that the different breeds of cows
may be shut up in a building on the
fair grounds and every scrap OF feed
bought az the market price and a
steady profit derived from each herd
every week. The most careless farmer
possesses advantages that these expo
sition herds do not have. and In sum
ming up the totals account should be
taken with this side issue.

the right of the city to require license

who take orders and deliver enlarged
pictures shipped by Chicago and New
York houses and brings up for review the
State revenue law. Caldwell was ar
rested for failure to pay the license re-
quired and backed by his Chicago house
he brought suit against the city alleg-
ing that license ordinance was in con-
travention of the principle of interstate
commerce guaranteed by the constitution
of the United States. Major Stedman is

BIG POSTAL FRAUD
May ImpIicate 54 Post-Mast-
ers in the State.
T. J. Bryan Of Laurel Branch, the Author Of a
Unique Scheme to Swndleithe United
States Government,
Especial to News and Observer

Greensboro, n. c., Oct. 15.-When Fed
eral court adjourned here today, SEN
sation was sprung by the handing in by
the grand jury of bill of indictment
for forgery and fraud on the government
by T. J. Bryan. of Laurel Branch, Alle-
ghany county, North Carolina, in which
may become implicated fifty-four third
and fourth class postmasters in this Fed
eral district alone.
Bryans scheme was unique, bold, SIM
pie. Its success can be estimated when
it is stated that for more than year,
these postmasters have been getting
from one to three hundred dollars out
of the government for extra clerical as
sistance, to which they were not entitled,
and at the same time to all appearance
they are innocent of any Intentional
fraud
Bryans scheme was to approach the
postmaster who distributed mail to star
routes and say that having worked for
the government in official examination of
and taking contracts for star routes, he
knew the law allowed extra clerical help
to distributing third or fourth-class office,
according to number of pieces of matter
and registered packages handled GER
tain point and would make contracts to
get this extra allowance on payment for
one year by postmaster of one half OF
the same. Agreeing, the postmaster, as
instructed, would apply to the depart
ment for necessary blanks to make out
the application.
Instructions would come from Wash
ington for applicant to count for six days
every piece of mail matter. every regis
tered package handled during that period
and forward result. Bryan had instruct
ed the postmaster to forward this re-
port through him, so that no error would
be obvious.
A report that $50 pieces of mail and 19O
packages had been handled during the
six days, would be changed by him to
read 1850 pieces and 730 packages, etc,
according to whether he was pulling for
one or three hundred dollar allowance.
Swindle of the government has worked
like a charm for over a year. Bryan S
territory constantly enlargng, rural
postmasters all happy; the government
| knowing that something was wrong, but
unable until few days ago to locate the
trouble.
A commissioners warrant has been is
sued for Bryan and three thousand dol
lar bond required, but the officers have
not yet located him.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-10-16

is understood that he took firm stand
against this proposition saying he was
satisfied the miners would not submit
to any arbitration which should not be
arbitration in fact as we'll as in name.
Mr.. Mitchell in his counter PROPOSE
tion, insisted that President Roosevelt
be given a free hand in the selection
of the board of arbitration and that the
terms under which the operators pro-
pose to create that board be remodeled
at least to some extent. IT is under
stood also that the wording of the mine
operators proposition. omitting any
reference to the miners union, does not
meet Mr.. Mitchell's approval. He de-
sires. if possible, to obtain some formal
recognition of the union.
Mr. Mitchell also expressly opposed
the restriction made in the operators
limiting the selection of a
Federal judge, as one of the arbitra-
tors, TO a particular jurisdiction.
1t is stated upon excellent authority,
although not the President or Mr..
Mifhell, that President Roosevelt
agreed to present Mr.. Mitchell's con-
tention to the operators. 1t is believed
that this will be the next step taken.

He SPEAKS AT PROXIMITY
Tr. Cone Acs as Chief Manager. The 0per-
a'iyes Resent This Back Door Campaign
ard ask That Kilchin be Given
a Hearing,
Especial to News and observer.)

Greensboro, N. c.. Oct 15.-Hon. ].
Lindsey Patterson spoke to small but
attentive audience at the graded school
building at Proximity Tuesday night. He
made his usual strong disclaimer of be-
ing inspired or instigated in his can
didacy by Republican influence and severe
ly criticised Wr Kitchins record. One
of the operatives present remarked: "If
you have got nothing to talk about but
Mr.. Kitchin, why don't you have a joint
compaign and say it to his face Among
other declarations he said that he and
Mr. Cone stood for the gold standard.
The opinion of those who heard him, was
that his speech was not as able as the
one delivered here last week.
Mr.. Patterson certainly seems to have
as little political sagacity as he has
ideas of<the ethics that usually obtain
among candidates. 1t is said that his
appointment at Proximity was kept per-
fectly quiet, not even the local news
paper reporters being allowed to get wind
of it, Hand bills of the speaking were
circulated among the operatives of Mr..
Cones mills, and Mr.. Cone acted as chief
manager of the event, being prominent
on the school rostrum. Some gentlemen
in Greensboro heard just at night of the
speaking and went out and heart it.
They report that Mr.. Patterson told his
hearers that Mr.. Kitchin would be glad
to destroy all profits of factories, banks
and other great industries, by means OF
which they obtained their livelihood.
This morning Mr. Kitchin himself was
here, and some of these same operatives
importuned him to give them an appoint
ment and answer the charges made
against him by Mr.. Patterson They
promised him not only rousing crowd,
but a brass band reception. This corre-
spohdent is just informed that he has
been able TO arrange his schedules so as
to speak at Proximity tomorrow CThurs-
day) night and he has also sent Mr..
Patterson an urgent invitation to meet
him there and repeat his charges made
in his absence. If Mr. Patterson refuses
to do this. he will make another big po-
litical mistake
