Josephus Daniels, Esq, City:
Dear Sir.-I have examined the North
Carolina Year Book for 1903 and 1 regard
it as invaluable. 1t is a great improve
ment over the book of 1902 which, itself
was an excellent publication.
The information contained in it has I'M
doubtedly caused the expenditure of a
great deal of time and labor, and cannot
be had except by the most painstaking
and careful collection of data. / find
hundreds of things in it which l want to
know and which I could not find out ex-
cept for it.
l shall keep it constantly at my right
hand for instant reference when l want
to know any fact about North Carolina.
The make up of the book is pleasing
and attractive. You are entitled to the
thanks Of the State for the excellence of
the manner in which you have executed
your purpose.
Very truly yours,
C. B. AYCOCK, Governor.

TRAFFIC BLOCKED
Cave-in on Newark Avenue
Hill Greatly Impedes
Vehicles Going Up
and Down.

Yesterdays hard rain caused another
big and dangerous cave-in in the right
side of the roadway of the Newark ave
nue. hill, between Palisade avenue and
the bridge. The cave-in seriously Kim
terferes with traffic, all the trucks both
going and coming down the hil having
one side of the roadway outside of the
cartracks and are kept constantly dodg-
ing and delayine>trolley cars.
1t has only been short while since
there was dangerous cave-in near, the
same place, and it was thought when
the repairs were made that the entire
roadway had been made safe and sound.
As County Superintendent Smith, who,
was driving up the hill, saw the cave-in
he hastened to notify the Street and
Water Board office. The hole has been
filled with danger signals and will be re-
paired as soon as possible.

NO DEMOCRAT
NEED APPLY
Colonel Dickinson and the
Mayor Have Decided
Police Justices Must
Be Republicans.
LINDSAY TO GET A PLACE
Rumor Says Datz Must Co
Appointments Not Def
initely Settled.


Mayor Pagan, who returned to his
desk today after an absence since Fri
day, did not make known his list of ap-
pointments as some expected. 1t is now
understood that the Mayor will defer the
announcement until after he has had an
other conference with Colonel Dickinson.
The two have discussed the probable
appointments. but thus far decision
has not been reached.
A surprise is in store for the polite
ians. The proposition of appointing a
Democrat to one of the Police Justice
ships has been abandoned. This was
learned from man who enjoys the ia
vor of both Mayor Pagan and Colonel
Dickinson. Former Tax Commissioners
James Lindsay, who was turned down a
year ago to make room for Commissioner
Bacon, ,~an organization man, is to be pro-
vided for and the place that Mayor Fa-
gan has for him is one of the Police JUS
ticeships. This will be news indeed to
the Pagan Democrats who had hoped
that one Of their number would get one
of the Justiceships. Frank Higgins as
has already been announced, will be the
other Justice.
1t can also be stated authoritatively
that City Hall Custodian Datz has not
been successful for re-appointment. Mr..
patz is to walk the plank and James Con-
molly, cousin of the Mayor, and one of
District Attorney speer's. detectives will
be his successor.
John Wsastell, leader of the Eighth
Ward is 70 succeed Tax Commissioner
Robert Hoos. Mr.. Weastells place in
the Board of Assessment Commissioners
has not been filed.
The fight for the appointment of a Fire
Commissioner to succeed Henry G. Nib
lett is attracting much attention. John
Doscher, Gustav Pfngstein and George
Hoehl, all of the Twelfth Ward and
Thomas D. mills, of the Ninth, are the
candidates. Hoehl it is understood heads
the list and unless change takes place
within the next few days his name will
appear in Mayor Fagan's list.
Police Commissioner, T. N. Tilden,
Treasurer Ely and Comptroller Hough
are all slated for re-appointment.
