nation has been received here from
Waynesville to the effect that q
warrant has been issued for III. D.
Mauney charging him with defraud.
ing various individuals out of
money and with forgery. It is said
that he has stolen considerable
sum of money. Mauney operated
in somewhat unique and peculiar
manner, and the fact that he had
not been caught sooner is perhaps
due to his mode of stealing.
Mauney was employed as a rural
mail carrier between Waynesville
and Jonathan Greek. He collected
money from persons along his route
who desired to send money orders,
pocket the money and subsequently
destroyed the orders. He then
Kept tab on these orders DESTROYED.
and when letters came to the parties
defrauded destroyed evidence of his
guilt by not delivering the letters.
One instance of this plan was made
known, when b man living on JON
athan creek sent his son, or tried t.
send him, 500, Mauney pocketed
the money and when the letter was
sent by the son complaing of failure
10 receive the sum the carrier also
destroyed it. It is also charged
that Mauney forged the signature of
certain persons to checks which he
cashed. "A deputy sheriff has been
given the warrant for Mauney's ar
rest. but so far has failed to locate
his man.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
REPORT.

The Democratic committee that
was appointed by the Governor to
investigate the Democratic manage
ment of the A, &. n. G Railroad
made their report to the Governor
a few days ago, and after being
read by the Chief Executive, copy
has been furnished the newspapers.
The evidence taken on which the
report mas made to the Governor
has not been made public. The
The question is will it be made
public. The Committees report is
quite lengthy. 1t cites nearly all
the charges that have been made
against the States management of
the road, but in nearly every in
stance lengthy excuses are made to
show why the officials should not
be severely criticised, if criticised at
all. In speaking of the expenditure
of the money the reports says: awe
are of the opinion that much of
this money has been wisely spent,
but some of it has also been, injudi-
ciously used, in some cases approach
ing downright extravagance".
Again the report says: "The idea
which seems to prevail that the
road-bed may be made safer and
stronger by laying heavier rails
upon rotten ties is fallacy".
The reports also shows that at
some small stations handsome build
ings have been erected while at
other stations where they were
more needed no improvements have
been made. 1t also reports that the
bylaws of the company provided
that the Proxy Committee shall be
composed of seven stockholders,
while they found that there were
really 80 members and that fourte en-
OF them are not stockholders, but
still they have free passes over the
road. 1t was also found that bust
nets men not interested in the road |
have free passes also. The com
m1ttee reports that the road has
thirty-four local attorneys. and that
it was shown one of these attorneys
has never appeared for the road, but
to the contrary has appeared as at
torney against the road in practically
every case in Craven county during
the present Democratic administra-
ton. But it is to be presumed that
he still carries his free pass over the
A. d n. G. Road. It was found
that an excessive price was paid for
wood and that much of the wood
was taken from the land of the
President OF the Railroad, and that
he reaped benefits from the exces.
sive price paid for the wood. One
OF the agents Of the road was found
very much behind in his accounts
Several mileage books could not he
accounted for. It was found tbot
the Atlantic Hotel, which is owned
by the road, and was ruined by the
road last year, lost several thousand
dollars. The committee also found
tnat there was an apparent" dis
crepancy of s2e,eee.ss, yet they did
not think there should be any haste
in changing the present manage
ment Of the road. We will again j
take up and discuss the report from {
time to time, as we do not wish tn
make any one article too long and
tedious for our readers.

THE cHAIRMANsHiP.
1t Now Looks as if Thomas Taggart
 Was First Choice.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The ans nouncement from Washington that Senator German had reiterated his dec laration that he could not be chairman of the Democratic national committee has simplified the situation, according to the views of those who are earnest ly urging Thomas Taggart of Indiana, and they express tue belief that he will be unanimously chosen chairman by the national committee next Tuesday.
 When the latest declaration of Sena- tor German was communicated to Mir. Taggart, he showed that the news was gratifying, although it coincided with his previous information. John W. Kern of Indiana expressed his satls- faction that the talk about Senator German would now be set at rest and said that it removed any doubt about the choice of MT. Taggart.

PROPER CARE CT TIE FEET.
Simple Treatment for Swelling, CaI- lous Spots and Ingrowing
 Nails.

In no part of the body is there moro absolutely unnecessary suffering caused by abuse and neglect than in the feet. These faithful, long@tried servants do not receive half the care they need, says the Philadelphia Press.
 If inclined to swell after long stand ing or afflicted with that mysteriuuH complaint called spring fever" they
 should be given frequent hot baths. with sea salt and borax dissolved in the water, followed by a thorough massage with alcohol or bay rum When there are cailoused spots-often caused by ill-ftting shoes or seam in the hose--olive oil or cold cream
 rubbed in thoroughly at night will quickly soften them and aid in their removal
 Night and morning dips in cold or warm water, as is most convenient. should never be omitted, and the daily rubbing with cologne, bay rum or al- cohol will keep them fit for any
 amount of tramping. provided. of course, that justice be done them in the matter of Shoes. These should be
 neither too large nor too small: one is
 as great an evil as the other They should hold the feet firmly in a gentle
 clasp that prevents rubbing or slip~ ping anywhere.
 A medium heel is better than the
 radically low one, which spreads the foot and strains the arch of the instep, An absurdiy high heel is an iniquitous
 abuse of the foot, a proof of the ex- tremest folly, and hourly invites a whole crop of evils-bunions. corns.
 ingrowing nails--and manifold defOrs
 mites follow their use.
 A frequent change of shoe is better
 for both feet and shoes. and helps to
 keep both in good condition. 1t is a
 bad habit to wear the same shoes in-
 doors as when walking and a dempr- alizing one to indulge in shapeIess
 house shoes, run down at the heel.
 Always for its health and comfort the foot should be tidily and trimly shod.
 A little pedicuring semiweekly after hot foot bath is just as important as manicuring. All callous spots should be gently scraped. This treatment, to- gether with protection of the parts af- fected by chamois plaster having hole in the center, will in short tins free the feet from these affiicrions.
 The pain from an ingrowing toe nail can be relieved by treating with mixture composed of one ounce Of chloride of zinc and one drachm each of muriatic and nitric acids; mix them thoroughly and apply one drop daily to the afflicted toe.
