MlIIsRIMON- SETTLE DEBATE
NOT LIKELY TO MATERIALIZE
lie Story Which Has Aroused So
Much Interest Had It's FOunda-
ton I'm Some Testing Remarks
That Were Passed.
Charlotte News.)


The politically inclined hereabouts
and in measure throughout the
state, have been interested, and per-
maps a little exercised over the p11b-
,isheo report that Judge James H.
Merrlmon and Thomas Settle the
FORMER Republican Congressman had
agreed to make a canvass irrespect1ve
OF the political organizations during
the approaching campaign. The exact
nature or the proposed canvass was not
Vouchsafed by the reporter who gave
the story publicity, and as the con-
flctlng reports set afloat since it's pub
iicaton nave served only to confuse
there has been much speculation and
not a little criticism of the repute6.
purposes Of these gentlemen. One
gathered the impression that the pro-
posed mission of this Democrat and
Republican would be Of a poltico-
evangelical nature, and this moved
the Salisbury Sun to remark that the
Buncombe gentlemen seemed to have
assumed a "more holy-than thou" at
titude, and the editor of that paper,
who is the secretary. or clerk to Sen
ator Overman, is inclined to doubt
whether such a canyass would make
any lasting impression on the people
1t was understood that the canvass
was to be limited, geographically
speaking, as no dates were to be made
outside of the boundaries of Bum
combe, but the series of joint debates.
according to this report, was to be of
wide intellectual scope, embracing not
only the generally recognized issues
of the day, but the two political orr
CARNATIONS were to be admonished to
turn from the errors Of their ways.
The relations Of the East to the West
were to receive attention. and at this
stage of the story interest invariably
became acute. Tt seems that the adj
mittedly wise, but ungrateful men of
the East possessed the longest per-
Simmons pole, and by virtue of the
same had been enabled to pull down
the most fruit. The Democrats OF
the East had neglected their highland
brethren and this manifestation of
gross unkindness had so preyed upon
the mind of Mr.. Settle that he
thought the people ought to be tolC,
about it. In this connection a mum,

as before stated, from the numeroui
reports in circulation, but a little i'm
vestigation today disclosed the fact
that much ado may have been made
about nothing The gentlemen most
concerned disclaim having authorized
such a statement, Judge Merrimon, II
is understood, being especially en-
phatic in his disclaimer. 1t was saiG
that the conversation between Judge
Merrimon and Mr.. Settle had hardly
been in serious vein. and it is doubt
less safe to predict that the much,
discussed canvass will not material
ize. Certainly the proposition has not
gone beyond the tentative state.

The New Bern Boats.

The diScontinuance of the Norfolk
and Southern steamers between this
city and New Bern. even temporarily,
will result in a loss to this city and
if they are discontinued permanent
ly, it will be quite a severe blow and
will result in great loss of trade.
The fact that some of the clerical
force has been laid off only two
months rather leads one to think that
the service will again be taken UP in
the fall and this is most sincerely
hoped.
1t is we'll known that the Suffolk
and Carolina have had their weather
eye on the sound territory and it
would not be surprising if the action
of the Norfolk and Southern in dis
continuing their boats. might hasten
the matter with the Suffolk and Caro-
lima and the service be established
sooner than they would otherwise.
Mr.. Barton says this is not the case.
but there may be eXigcncies to arise
that will hasten the matter, and it
would be a good opportunity for the
Suffolk and Carolina to become estab-
liShed.

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES

The following notice has been posted
up in the Public Library stations:
TO PATRONS OF THE STATIONS.
If you want book on a special subject
for club or other, work, please ask the
stationkeeper to send your list directly
to the assistant in charge of branch work
at the Central; library, with a request to
send some other book on the subject, If
those asked for are out. This will save
disappointment and delay in getting what
you want.
This notice means that the usefulness
of station is necessarily limited; the
attendant is a druggist, and can not be
expected to do reference work, or to
have much knowledge of the books at
the library. It is better to come to the
reference department Of the central
library, when it is important to get
some special subject and to get it i'm
mediately. But when this is impossible
then the list should be sent as suggested
above; for otherwise the page whose
business it is to look up station lists,
would send the list back, if the book
were out, without further explanation.
A station is only partial conven-
fence to borrowers, the new books can
seldom be obtained there, unless ire
served' at the central, and special sub
jects cannot very we'll be looked up
there. The library should not be
blamed if it cannot make every sta
tion as useful to borrowers as the cen
trail library. The intention Of the board
is simply to accommodate people who
would otherwise not use the library, by
taking the books to them and making
good reading locally accessible.
