DOGS CALLED OFF
Republican Office Holders
Convinced the Master
it Was Best.
Special to News and Observer.) }

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., May 11.-From a
highly respectable and reliable source
l learned today of some of the
methods employed by Influential Re-
publican politicians in this vicinity re-
Gently. Certain very prominent office
holders who had enjoyed the emolu-
ments of good offices for a term found
themselves opposed by quite a number
of their party leaders when the time
rolled around for their successors to
be named.
The opposition headed by the State
chairman of the party became so bit
ter that sure defeat appeared to stare
them in the face. Desperate cases call
for desperate remedies.
In order to lput a quietus upon the
opposition, the prominent office-hold-
ers above referred to conferred with
each other as to the best plan of war
fare, and they decided that there was
evidence of a damning character
against the internal revenue office at
Raleigh, which, if made public, would
eliminate from the proposition the
most dangerous and annoying factor.
They thereupon let it be known that
if the opposition to their re-appoint-
ment continued they would publish
certain letters from the office of the
collector of internal revenue of the
fourth collection district of North
Carolina, i'm which tax payers who had
committed violations of internal reve-
nue. laws were advised to bring their
books to Raleigh to be written up
there it being represented to them
that their establishments were liable
to be seized and forfeited as they then
stood.
Whatever may have been the course
they afterwards pursued the result
was:
/. The taxpayers continued in bus
mess unmolested.
,. The master of the hounds called
the dogs off.
g. The office-holders were again re-
appointed, and on the surface peace
and harmony seemed to reign SUI
preme. B. B. ROIJIDIN.

ASKS INDUSTRIAL
TRAINING
Cotton Manufacturers
Pass Resolutions. Con-
serve Water Power.
Especial to News and observer0

Especial to News and ObserverD
Washington, d. c., May 12.-The
American Cotton manufacturers in
session here today adopted two reso-
lutions of great Importance to the in
dustry they represent. One sets forth
the importance to the manufacturer
and employe alike of skilled labor,
and endorses industrial schools, urg-
ing legislative bodies to pass laws pro-
viding all youth the training needed
by our highly developed and varied
industries
The preamble to the resolution de-
clares that the interests of the associa-
tion are vitality connected With full
supply of efficient and intelligent la
Dor: that increasing early industrial
training vastly improves the efficiency
of the workman, by increasing his in
telligence and thrift, that it promotes
harmony between labor and capital.
and elevates the standard of living
and increases the home consumption
and demand for goods.
The second resolution calls attention
to the necessity TO the manufacturers
of the South of conserving their wa
ter power and TO this end endorses the
effort to secure government protection
To the forests of the Appalachian
range on which most of the import
ant streams of the Atlantic Coast
States have their origin. The text of
this resolution follows:
Whereas, we recognize that the
great source of danger to our water
powers is the indscriminate cutting
OF timber at the head waters of our
streams. and
Whereas, this opinion is confirmed
by uniform experience in other coun-
friR w haN
been successfully applied, and
Whereas, our future as q manu-
featuring nation is largely dependent
on the cheap power secured from our
rivers and streams, and
Whereas, owing to the great inn
provements being made in electrical
transmission, our water powers should
be greater factors for furnishing pow
er in the future than they have been
in the past, and
Whereas, the sources of the stream
where the injury is done are often
in other States than those in which
the power is used, hence this vital
question becomes one which the Ma
tional government alone can properly
deal with; therefore. be it
RESOLVED. That we, the American
Cotton Manufacturers association
urge the passage. by the United States
Senate and House Of Representatives
of the bill for the purchase of a ma
tional forest reserve in the Appala-
chian mountains. and other similar
reserves which may have been pro-
posed for the protection of the sources
of our wlter power, and be it further
Resolved. That the president of
our association appoint a committee
of five - cooperate with the Appala-
chian National Forest association in
the efforts Il is making for the preser-
walton OF our forests "

Fayetteville. n. c., May 12.-There
was a big wreck on the Atlantic Coast
Line near Hope Mills this evening,
killing Engineer Allen and seriously
injuring the fireman, who can hardly
survive.
The train was an extra freight
of only sixteen cars, twelve of which
are a complete wreck. The wreck
was caused by the engine jumping the
track. Owing to the blocking of the
road, the trains went by Wilmington
to and thence to Florence. The fast
mails will be compelled TO go the
same way and it will take till tomor-
row to get the track clear of the
wreckage.
The wrecking trains from both
Florence and Rocky Mount are on the
scene.
