for getting the job, in spite of his alleged
peripathetic habits of hunting postoffices
at Wilmington and Durham. Speaking of
the case. Major ]. E. Alexander. of Win
ston, who was employed to defeat the
nomination, said that he had performed
his professional duty in putting up as
good fight as he could and further
than that he had nothing to do with it,
Attorney w. +. Carter, a resident of Mt.
Airy, and Democrat, employed to de-
feat Albright. seemed still warm over it
He said that outside of the political fight
1t was matter OF very great concern to
the Mt. Airy people, who wanted resi-
dent and a native to attend TO the bust
ness. He said that out of thrty-fve bust
ness houses in the city, twenty-seven had
signed a petition protesting against Al
bT1ght's appointment. Mt. Airy it seems,
has great number of Republicans of high
standing in social and financial circles,
from which excellent material for a post
master could be had.
FIX Congressman Blackburn has also re-
turned Discussing the matter in the
presence of Colonel Alexander, he said
that petitions representing nine-t enths of
the business men and patrons of the post
office, had been filed, asking for Albright $
appointment.
An old Republican politician here says
the whole fight is really one to thwart
the success of BlackburnS appointment,
and is engineered to inure to the benefit
of his rivals.

Mr.. Douglass has served this church for
number of years, during which time he
has made host of friends, not only
among his congregation, but the public
generally as well. Every effort has
been made to induce him to reconsider
his proposed action, but so far without
avail
His health is not the best, and after

Mr.. Smoot was disqualified for service

then he would have been guilty of conr

Mr.. Smoot has urged over and over again
that every law should be strictly OBJ

Mr.. Taylor replied that acts of a con-
tinuous character should be investigated
even though committed before election.
He added that it was impossible to know
what Mr.. Smoot stands for unless it is
known what the church teaches with ref
erence to the charges against the Sena

declared that the church should exercise
control of temporal affairs. I'VE want

St Petersburg, Jan let is, already

accept Japan's last proposition as an
entirety Russia is ready to agree to
certain points. but on others the For

The officials are of the opinion that the
way is open for continuing the negotia-
tions and there is no indication that
Russia will seek to delay her answer,
which probably will be ready IN few
days.
The Car continues to talk peace, and
the Dowager Czarina, in conversation,
remarked:
WAR is horrible thing. There will
not be war
In the meanwhile Viceroy Alexieff and
Baron De Rosen, as well as the Foreign
Office, are studying the Japanese docu-
ment Army and navy circles continue
pes.imistic.
The best feature of the situation is the
fact that the Japanese reply has In no
sense the character of an ultimatum. 1t

a time limit and the acceptance by Rus

have been more angry with the govern

this change will completely pacify them.
The American authorities have taken the
precaution to provide male escorts for
women and children of that nationality
while on the street.
