Lowrey Not a Political Acrobat.

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., Feb. 29-There was
a report here Friday that the contest
over the postmastership at Oak Ridge was
TN again. 1t had been considered settled
by the agreement between two of the can
udates, Messrs. Bowman and LOWrey
that Luther Baylock, son of the deceased
postmaster, should have the appointment
without opposition. Mr.. John Lowrey
who was here Saturday, being asked
about this, said there was no truth in the
report; that his business here was to dc
all in his power to aid in eXpeditlng the
appointment Of young BIaylock.
In this correspondence some time ago
a Republican was quoted as saying that in
the contest over the office then going on
between Messrs. LCwrey and Bowman.
Lowrey would get the office because be

Mr.. L1Wrey assures this correspondent
that the report does him an injustice
He says that he has always been Re
publican, except for a short while, when
being a farmer and member OF. the Far

the Populist party; but that he never
voted a single time for Bryan. Prof.

STATE CANNOT RECOVER,
Yerkes Sustained in Ruling that South
Carolina Must Pay Special Liquor !
Taxes.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 29.-In the United
States court of Claims today the chief
justice announced in the case of the
State of South Carolina against the United
States to recover various sums paid by
the State of South Carolina as special
taxes for the sale of liquors in the State
at the various dispensaries by the off
Gals in charge of these dispensaries, that
the petition of the State of South Carolina
was dismissed and that the opinion would
be handed down tomorrow.
This is one Of the most important cases
that has come before Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Ycrke for decision since
he has been in office. The State of South
Carolina made claim before him for the
refund of these taxes upon the ground
that the State dispensary law was consti-
tutional, as decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States, and that the col
lection of these taxes was in reality tax
levied upon State officials and therefore
upon the exercise of a governmental func
ton and power The commissioner re-
iected the claim and suit was then brought
in the Court of Claims and by its decision
MIR. Yerkes is sustained.
