WANTED HIS JOB
Political Reasons Appear to be Behind Mr. ".
B. Henry's Dismissal

The News and Observer has received a
letter from Mr.. Walter R. Henry, of Char
lotte, giving in detail the reasons which
he assigns to be behind his dismissal from
the position of National Bank Examiner.
In it he shows clearly that his official
head has dropped because the powers at
washington wanted his Job for another
man.
In Mr. Henry's letter he quotes endorse
ments and gives whole letters received
from the leading bankers of North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama, testifying to his efficiency and abil-
ity. Many of the bank presidents say that
Mr.. Henry is the best bank examiner they
have ever known, that he is faithful, ex'
pert and painstaking.
The impression in Charlotte is that Mr..
Henry has been displaced simply that ms
position might be given to some Western
man, whom the administration wanted
to aid, and whose help it sought. Both
x-State Chairman Pritchard. and Char.
man Rollins, of the Republican party,
urged that Mr.. Henry be retained, but
this without avail. Mr.. Henry's friend:
regret that he has been made the victim
of official greed.

SHE F.AYs moptRN SOCIETY.
Mrs. Pounds Says it il More and More Vulgar
Display
@tBy the Associated Press


Detroit, Mich, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Jessie
Brown Pounds, of Ohio, furnished the
feature of the convention of the Christian
Womans Board of Missions today by a Sc
we're criticism of modern society. The so
ciety young women of the present day
came in for specially hard condemnation
Society life, Mrs. Pounds described as the
modern babble of Babel.
Modern life is getting to be more and
more vulgar display, she said, amidst
the applause of her listeners Exp, fses
are so rapidly exceeding incomes TIA
there is no longer any home life. All the
adults of the families are forced to go out
and work to meet the heavy expenses that
modern condition impose. We would
much better keep our daughters at home
and let them make home, than to send
them out to work in order to increase the
family income. Let us lead simpler lives
and develop more home makers. The wo
men of the middle classes in this country
are dying at present from too much house
keeping, and the women of the upper
classes are dying too, but from different
cause. Too many courses at dinners anc
too much bric-a-brac to worry over is kill
ing them. American parents are proud il
their daughters marry European noble
man. but heartbroken if one marries ;
missionary.

NEW FREIGar BATE AGREED ON.
Men Rspr. senting Trans Continental and
Southeastern Roads in ccord.
(By the Associated Press

Louisville, KY, Oct. 17.-After having
been IN session for a week rate men rep
resenting all the trans continental lines
and part of the Southern and Southeast
err roads reached conditional agree
ment concerning trans-continental busl-
hess originating at Southeastern points.
Tie problem with which the rate men
had to deal was this: About six months
ago the trans-continental lines quit MAX
ing a combination one bill rate on freight
originating at Southeastern points, and
travelling west by way of New Orleans.
Manufacturers in North Carolina for in
stance, were compelled to take a local
rate to New Orleans, where the consign-
ment was re-billed to its destination west
of the Mississippi. The local rate plus
the rate from New Orleans on to desti-
nation proved to be almost prohibitive
to Southeastern manufacturers as the
combination one bill rate was still main
tanned on freight that passed through
the st. Louis and Chicago gate ways and
applied to freight originating near Louis
vile, and points north of that city. The
conflict of interests between the local and
rans-continental lines operating by 81
Louis and Chicago and those operating
by New Orleans, proved a difficult propo-
sition, especially as it was claimed by the
Northern local roads that the New Or
leans one bill rate cut into their bust
ress. Under an agreement made thirteen
years ago the one bill rates by way of
New Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago,
were made as nearly uniform as possible.
None of the parties interested would en-
nounce the basis OF the agreement, but
it was learned that a new uniform one
bill rate governing freight by way OF New
Orleans, Chicago and st. Louis gate
ways had been decided on. 1t was furth-
er learned that the new rate as far as
Southeastern business is concerned will
be less than the present two-b bill rate,
but higher than the old one-bill rate. / lie
amount of the advance could not be
learned.
Another meeting will be held at At
lanta before the end of October, a. which
it is expected that the remaining South
ern roads, not represented at the Louic-
vile meeting. will agree to the new rate.
Pending that time Southeastern ship
ments by way of New Orleans will be
billed at the present rate.

punish him. Again Hinton cursed and
Mr. Harper struck him.
Then Hinton started to use his gun. g
Flobert rifle, but as he attempted to shoot

FTER ROLLINS HEAD
Republican Chairman Don't
Please the East.
Judge Bynum Of Green b ro is TO Compete With
Z.b Vance Waser in End FAVOR 10 be
the Sacrifice,

Eastern Republicans are after the off
cial head of Republican Chairman Rollins
l was talking with a prominent Raleigh
Republican yesterday, and he told me thai
this was so.
Why" was what l asked.
Because he IS giving little concern t.
the party and is devoting his time to being
the attorney for the Southern Railway
He don't know little bit about the Re
publicans of the East, and sticks to the
West, while he does nothing for the party
We will never get in any shape at all with
Rollins plans, or his want of plans, as
see them.
But the office holders are with him,
said /.
mot all of them, for some prominent
Federal office holders in the State see
that Rollins is but a.dummy and don't
know how to lead or direct. They want
to get rid of him, and say he ought either
to give up the Craftsmanship or his South
ern Railway job In fact there is move
ment all along the line in the East to de
feat him for chairman as soon as possible
What do you want him to do?''
do! Why to do something. He will
not come East and we want headquarters
in Raleigh or some Eastern city. The
chance for Republican success must come
from the East, and if he will not put head
quorters in Raleigh. the Congressional dis
trict chairman of the East are going to be
asked to meet and put the screws on hin
to have him do so. Many parts of the
West feel that this ought to be done, il
we ever expect to do anything. He has
had letters to this effect from the East
and the West
81 tell you we need immediate organiZa
ton. If we wait till politics are hot anC
elections are on us, we will never succeed
Rollins is making a blunder, and what
ne needs is to wake up or get out of the
way. If he will do nothing more he ought
to have at least Bureau of Information
in Raleigh with a competent man to man
age it. / think the time is ripe for Re
publican success and think we stand g
chance to elect the next Governor"
/ laughed when he said this, and ther
said: your nominee is to be Zeb Vance
Walser, I understand
HE will have to fight for it If he gets
it, Many friends of Judge Bynum, o
Greensboro, are anxious to have him tt
become candidate If he does Walsel
will have to look out
In this connection it is noted that a few
DAYS ago there was a communication il
''The Dunn Reporter of which j. d
Parker, the warrior, is editor, which set
forth the same ideas as the Raleigh Re
publican. 1t looks as if the Eastern Re
publicans are after Chairman Rollins.

his money on his milk and butter,
