The completion of the Cape Fear and
Northern Railroad to Dunn last week en-
abled this paper to give an elaborate story
of the building of that road and to speak
in terms of commentator of the pro-
gressive spirit which has made Dunn the
largest town of its age in North Carolina.
The following from a leading citizen is a
sample letter of the appreciation of the

celebration:

CASHIER DEWEY's LETTER.

1t is now exactly two months since
Thomas w. Dewey, cashier of the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank, of New Bern,
left the State, a shortage in his ac-
counts having been discovered the pre-
vious day. Although large rewards were
offered for his arrest, not one word has
been heard as to his present location. He
seemed to have disappeared as completely
from public view as if he had dropped
out of the earth.
Elsewhere in today's paper we publish
a letter written by Cashier Dewey VIII,
seems to say, at least between the lines,
that he will return to meet the charges
against him. A reading of the letter
would indicate that it is his purpose
to return. In fact he says that 1T has
always been his intention to return as
soon as he had "the strength and cour-
age to do So
There are also more than limitations
that if he makes any defense he will tell
the whole story, no matter who may be
injured. That intimation will whet the
public appetite for the whole story.

REPUBLICAN SHOWS NEW CARD.
Lively Time in Transylvania County is Conf
IDENTIFY Expected.
baskerville Citizen

Brevard, ~ c., Sept. 29.-There is 60
ing to be a lively time in the Republican
camp in this county. 1t all came about
in this way:
Gus Aiken. who jumped from the
Democratic party on to the Republican
pie counter some year ago, is charged
with having man appointed postmaster
in this county against the protest of the
Republican organization, and IN defiance
of the wishes of a majority of tie Re-
publicans. In this he was aided by the
Republican county chairman, and Thomas
Rollins. The faithful appear to be very
indignant over the affair. 1t Is stated by
many that this postmaster has never voted
Republican ticket in the county and
has never paid cent of tax. 1t is rather
amusing to the outsiders to see the gen
erous spirit in which one of the faithful
is unceremoniously shelved for Demo-
crat. 1t may be that Gusssy still remem-
bers his former Democratic friends and
fails not to land one when the opportu-
nitv offers itself. Aiken's scalp will likely
be the penalty for it, however.
