Mr.. Merritt's Statement.

City Postmaster Merritt, who dis
missed Mr.. Tulloch, repeated this morn
ing most emphatically his denial that ex-
Postmaster General Smith or Perry Nj.
Heath had in the slightest degree infn
enced his action in discharging Mr.. Tul-
loch Mr. Merritt said:
4 dismissed the cashier on purely
personal grounds. I desired to have men
around me with whom / was personally
acquainted, which was not an unreason-
able desire when you remember that l
am bonded for $500 geo. Mr.. rulloch did
not suit me, so 1 got rid of him, and 9t;t
another man IN his place.
Temporary Assignments Questioned.
"A fuss is being raised because do
not keep a record of every temporary de-
tail OF clerks. 1 do keep 4 record Ct
each detail that is of any but temper
airy character. but when a man is PUT
on other work for few hours or few
days. it has not been the custom 10
record the fact in writing. Divisions be-
come so crowded that ii is absolutely
necessary for them to have assistance
for a short time. In such cases clerks
are told of to help the crowded division,
and when the work slackens they are
recalled

Postmaster General Payne said today
that the Investigations now in progress
in the PostofIfce Department would not
be completed for month at least. and
that some of them might continue much
longer.
Mr.. Payne said also that there were no
new developments in the Investigations,
excepting that he had acted on the
charges made by Seymour W. Tulloch by
sending letters 10 Charles Emory Smith,
formerly Postmaster General; Joseph L.
Bristow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, and John A. Merritt, postmaster
of Washington, asking them to answer
Mr.. Tullochs accusations. No replies
have been received
Mr.. Tunoch charged. in brief, that he
had lost his position because he exposed
rottenness in the city postoffice and the
Postof1ce Department; that an investl
cation into postal finances was stopped
by political influence; that favoritism
and nepotism ruled in appointing and
promoting clerks; that there was a gen
eral state of Reorganization and inef-
ficiency

Sympathy Beautifully Expressed.

Regarding the suicide of the 49,
year old son of Editor J. P. Caldwell,
of the Charlotte Observer, DR.. A. J.
McKelway, of the Charlotte News,
did a bit of editorial writing which
for fitness and beauty of expression
is seldom surpassed in North Caro-
lima. We give it herewith:
"To say that this whole community
sympathizes with Mr.. J. P. Caldwell
in the great sorrow that has come to
him and his family is to put the mat
ter in feeble phrase. The whole
reading public of North Carolina
feels with him and for him in the
death of his frst-born son, his name
sake. And we only wish hat we
could find words to assure him of this
profound and universal feeling of
sympathy, that really shares his grief.
1t was said, in one of Ian McLaren's
books, on the death of a young lad,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-12-01

popular and wel-beloVed, "Theres
but one heart in Drumtochty, and
it's sair." There is but one heart in
Charlotte this day, and its sore.
,"And yet there are some of US
who can enter into the inner chamber
of that grief, who have also seen a
child, born of our body, flesh of our
flesh, lying still in the last sleep.
Through the ages there rings the cry
of paternal agony, Would God that
I had died for thee, o, Absalom, my
son, my son.
Beside the quiet dignity of death,
the issues of life fade into insignif-
canoe, the contentious of politics or
of business, the strife of tongues.
Human speech is poor and made
quate in conveying the messages of
hope and of comfort we would fain
express. The familiar words of
Holy Writ are best, Let not your
heart be troubled
For the love of God is broader than
the measure of mans mind,
And the heart of the Eternal is most
wonderfully kind"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-12-01

5000 to 1000 bales short, or less
than 10000 bales; the average re-
ceipts being from $4,000 to 10000
bales. Some farmers are selling their
cotton as fast as they get it out, but
some are holding it for the high
prices they say must come.
Reidville Review: It is said that
the next work done in double
tracking the Southern system, after
the section between Washington and
Orange is completed, which will prob
ably be about the first of the year,
will be done between Danville and
Charlotte, and this will probably not
be completed until November or De-
cember, 1904. The cost of laying
this track is about $4,000 per mile.
1t is the intention of the road to
double track those sections where the
freight congestion shows that they
are most needed, and to gradually
connect them afterwards.
Raleigh Times: Mr.. W. J. Peele
has returned to the city from vii
mington, where he was elected presi-
dent of the Historical Commission.
The commission met in Warsaw, at
the home of Rev. J. D. Hurham, and
elected a permanent organization
with ~the following officers: W. J.
Peele, president; R.. w. D. Conner,
secretary. The commission decided
to offer three cash prizes of 800
each for, first, the best North Caro-
lima county history; second, best BIZ
ographical sketch of a North Caro-
Imam, and third, for the best account
of any decade in North Carolina his
tory.
Monroe Journal: 81 have just
been thinking" said Road Commits
sioner Thos. E. Williams Saturday,
chat if there were bar-rooms in
Monroe now, with cotton at eleven
cents, there would be a great deal
of drunkenness. The quietude that
reigns on the public roads now is in
striking contrast to the drunkenness
and rowdyism that obtained a few
years ago. It used to be dangerous
to be on the public roads, especially
after dark, ON account of the reck-
less driving and runaway teams
caused by drunken drivers. You
have only to look on the public roads
to see the difference that has come
over u.s."

Statesville Landmark: People In

of the fish industry in Eastern North
Carolina. The Coaster, a paper pub

this is only one of many points where
the fish industry is important, and it
is by no means the most important
point of the industry.

A. Gambler in the chair. The attend
nee at the opening session was un-

showed healthy conditions through
out the Conference.
Raleigh Cor. Messenger: The Su-
preme Court dismisses the petition
to rehear the SeaweIl case. This
afirms this notable case. Seawell
gets nearly $4,000 damages from the

while he was in its station at Shelby,
having purchased a ticket and being
about to take a train, he was pelted
with eggs, the company's agent there

couraging the attack. Seawell was

HISTORIC CABINS MIXED. UP.
Logs From Ldneoln's Birthplace With
Others From JEFF. Davis Cabin.

The New York Herald says: BY an odd
accident the cabin In which Abraham Lin
coin was born and another cabin of logs
which was associated with the life Of JEFF
ferson Davis have become mixed up, and
timbers Of both structures now make up a
single building. The revelation of this fact
came about through the efforts OF the Rev.
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills pastor of Ply
mouth Church. to add to the Beecher me-
mortal fund.
DR.. Hills and those associated With him
In the Beecher memorial movement made
arrangements for Lincoln evening in
Plymouth Church tomorrow night, and
Benjamin Chaplin. the student and imper-
senator Of Lincoln. was engaged to tell the
story of Lincoln's life from the platform.
In order that there might be an added
touch OF realism to the entertainment 1t was
decided to obtain for the evening the little
log cabin In which Lincoln was born and
have it set up in the church parlor. The
cabin Is the one which was on exhibition at
the Pan-Amerfcan exposition at Buffalo. 1t
Is owned by Frederic Thompson and Elmer
8. Dundy, two amusement promoters.
Me6srs. Thompson and Dundy declared
they would be glad to lend the cabin II 1t
were all the Lincoln cabin. but they said
that as matter of fact the structure in
Coney Island IL at present combination Of
born and the Davis cabin. Mr.. Thompson
made an explanation.
The original Lincoln cabin, he said, had
been purchased by bennett, q restaurant
man. from colored preacher named Big
