RALEIGH POST MASTER
TO PAY RURAL CARRIERS.
They Will Receive Their Checks in Future
From Mr. Bailey Instead of Direct
From Washington.

All rural carrier in North Carolina will
from The first of February be paid from
the Raleigh office heretofore they have
been paid by checks from the depart
ment in WASHINGTON. There are about
eighty Of these carriers in the State now'
and the amount TO be handled by Post
master Bailey will consequently be $40,
0Go as the pay OF these carriers is $500
each per year.
Mr.. Bailey is of the opinion that it
will take about two hundred rural car
riers to cover the State, finally thus
bringing 100000 into circulation in North
Carolina.
At any rate, here is the sum of $40, 600
a wear coming into the State, to be
counted among the benefits of the rural
free delivery system.
The new arrangement will not affect the
carriers in any way, except that they
Will receive their checks from Postmas
ter Bailey, instead of direct from the
department at Washington.
Congratulations are due the Raleigh

N. C. BASE BALL LEAGUE.
There is Move For Such an Organization
Mr.. E. NJ. Ashenback Here,

Mr.. L. M, Ashenback of baseball
fame, arrived in the city yesterday to
confer with local cranks about the Or
ganization of a league in this State next
summer.
1t was Mr. Ashenbacks idea that q
Tri-State League, composed of the best
towns in North and South Carolina and
Georgia could be formed, but it was
found impossible to interest Charleston.
and without Charleston such league can
not be organized The people of Char
lesion are so much absorbed in the expo
sition that they are not thinking of base
ball and the Tri- State League scheme
was given up.
There is now movement for the or
ganization of a State League with a sal
airy limit of $3.50 per month AS yet it
has not taken any tangible shape and is
only being discussed. Mr.. Ashenback is
comforting with interested parties here
as to the organization of such league.
Among the towns mentioned are Raleigh,
Durham. Tarboro, Wilmington, New
bern, Goldsboro, Greensboro, Winston

WILLARD WILL CONTEST.
Judge Allen Hears Argument and Will Rem
der Decision Shortly

Considerable time was occupied in the
Superior court yesterday with the suit
brought by Capt s. a. Ashe and others
executors of w. H. Willard, deceased.
against Mrs. Mamie b. Ashe and others
The suir is for the construction Of the
will of Mr.. Willard. Capt. Ashe and the
other executors contended that under the
viii of Mr.. Willard the interest CT the
late hos NJ. Ashe in Mr.. WIZARDS cs-
tate survived TO the remaining children
Of Capt S. A. AsEe, and that the wife Of
the late T. NJ. Ashe was not entitled to
anything under the will for the payment
OF the debts OF the late Mir. Ashe. The
estate was worth about $50, ,000 and the
executors, since the death Of Mr.. Viii
lard, have advanced $4,000 TO w. w and
5. A. Ashe, Jr., and $17 900 to the other
children making altogether $4l U00. The
late Thos. NJ Ashe, at the time of his
death, had no property except his inter-
es$ in Mr.. Willard's estate and he owed
cebts t. the amount of about $1,000, in
Guiding the expenses in his last sickness
and tho funeral expenses.
1t appeared in court yesterday that Mr..
T. NJ. Ashes fatherin-law, NJ. Armis-
toad jones, mad paid the debts incurred
in Mrs. Ashes last sickness, and also
the funeral expenses, Mr. c. NJ. Busbee,
one OF the attorneys of Mrs. T. NJ. Ashe
told the judge that Mrs. Ashe did nck
Gcsire a cont from Mr.. Wizards estate,
except what was necessary to pay her
husbands debts. 1t seemed to be agreed
upon both sides that the executors possi-
hly might have lad a right to make tie
advance of $4,000, but that viii be the
question for Judge Allen to decided. 1t

A Train Held up in Indian
Territory.
One Report Says the Seven Men Secured
$1,000, Another That So 0ay
Was Taken.
(By the Associated Press.)

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 16.-The south
bound Kansas City Southern passenger
train was held up last night at eleven
o'clock, half a mile north of Spiro, l.
T., by seven masked men. The eX
press and mail fars were entered. The
local safe in the express car was opened
but nothing secured from it. The rob-
bers tried 10 open the through safe but
failed. Then they rifed the mail car
and it is said, secured quantity of reg
istered mail
The scene of the robbery is fifteen
miles from Fort Smith. a report to-
cay from there says that United States
marshals are securing the country in
search of the robbers. Three suspects,
miners. have been arrested and taken to
Foteau. l, Z. Railroad and express off
cials decline to state how much booty
was secured. 1t is stated however, that
the robbers got away with $4,000.
The robbers tagged the train between
Spiro and Redland While two of the
seven men covered the engineer and fire
man, with reyolyers others forced a por
ter who had appeared on the steps of
the forward coach to uncouple the bag
gage car from the rest Of the train. John
Block a travelling salesman from Fort
Smith alighted from the train and was
about to fire upon one of the robbers
when he was prevented by Conductor
Sullivan, who feared that the men would
fire into the passenger coaches. The bag
gage car uncoupled, the engineer was
compelled 10 pull up the road a distance
OF one mile There the robbers, after
disarming the messenger, went through
the baggage and mail car. Their work
finished, one of the robbers handed the
messenger the revolver taken from hiIa
and all made for the timber.
Postoffice officials here deny that any
registered mail was taken. and the eX-
press officials say that one package, con-
tanning SO, covers their loss.
Spiro is a small station near the Ar
kansas River in Indian Territory. 1t is
a desolate place in the timber. which
affords good cover for robbery. Poteau
the second station from Spiro, was the
scene Of former train hold-up.

man, and was indorsed by the business
men of Wilmington. Senator Pritchard
had decided from the beginning to pre-
sent either Mr.. Keith. who is a citizen
OF Wilmington or A. H. Slocum, who
lives in Fayetteville. President Roose-
welt was asked whether he would rather
nominate a Wilmington man or one from
the outside. He thought a local man
would be better for a local office and
