comes in on that Republican daily

Jim out.
This is a natural inquiry, since jim
was one of the shining Journalistic
lights in the movement that turned the
State over to the gang in 1894 that ex-
plotted and disgraced the Common
wealth. Perhaps Jim is to be the
Raleigh correspondent under the new
order of things and to write anony-

ed the Constitutional amendment the
Radicals have told the negroes that
until they could get into power on a
new issue the negro associates will
further their interests by remaining in
the background. Therefore Jim S

lima officials that j. A. Leonard, now

ard is a North Carolinian. and as an
act of charity was supported in our

North Carolina as his State.
THE directors (regents) Of our hos
pital have forbidden the hospital au-
thorities to receive him again. | would
suggest that you communicate that
information to the directors Of your
hospital.
THE overcrowded condition of our
hospital as well as the stand taken
by the authorities of other States to-
wards unfortunates once South Caro-
linians III denying them admission to
their charitable institutions have now
forced us to take a firm stand in no
longer allowing our State hnSpital to
be imposed upon. Furthermore, the
laws of our State now require two
years residence as n prerequisite for
the admission of all patients to our
hospital for the insane.

THEY LIKE DIR. BARRETT.
His North Corolina Friends Glad to

The many friends of Rev. j. p. Bar
rett. who formerly edited the Christian
Sun in Raleigh. will be glad to hear of
the high esteem i'm which he is held in
his Ohio home The Covington Ga
zette has this item which will interest
many friends in North Carolina:
"At a meeting of the membership of
the Christian church, Wednesday
night. Rev j. PRESLEY Barrett was
elected pastor for the ensuing church
year, commencing September LIST. The
rules of the church are that each par
ty to the contract shall give three
months notice if a change is desired.
Mr.. Barrett was paid the highest COM
pliment ever paid minister of this
parish, i'm that the meeting was large
Iy attended, the Sunday school room
being filed. In the many talks he was
highly spoken of as a consistent Chris
tian gentleman, who had succeeding in
uniting the membership as well as
creating q more kindly feeling with
the other churches. Mr.. Barrett is
highly respected by both members of
the church and those who are outside
the pale of church membership. In
one respect he resembles President

more thoroughly and closer he is

sons in New York and Washington
which il is alleged. was formed for
the purpose not only of manipulating
things so as to influence the cotton
market, but to affect the corn. wheat,
barley. and other cereal markets as
well.
That the affair is assuming a more
serious aspect is apparent. 1t is es,ab-
lished beyond a doubt that Secret Ser
vice agents of the government are as
sisting Secretary Wilson. Mr.. Cheat
ham is also participating in the m
quiry. He is aiding Secretary Wilson
with the object of weaving a net
around men whom the representative
of the Southern Cotton Growers AS
ISOLATION has contended from the first
had deceived the Secretary for their
own purposes.
Cheatham on Mission.
Mr.. Cheatham left for New York
last night. He goes there on mission
intrusted to him by the Secretary OF
Agriculture. Mr.. Cheatham declined
to tell the object of his trip further
than to say that it was on business
connected with the Investigation being
conducted by Secretary Wilson. Whlie
maintaining a profound silence as TO
which he made TO Secretary wilson,
Mr.. Cheatham predicted last night that
a. big sensation" would follow the
conclusion of the investigation.
There is a report that John Hyde.
statistician Of the department, the inn
mediate superior of Edward S. Holmes,
Jr., who was suspended from duty as
associate statistician, Will be asked to
return to Washington as soon as he
fN,s
Europe on Tuesday. He is expected
to be here in about two weeks. This
would give him just time enough to
land and take return passage imme-
diately. Mr.. Hyde's integrity has not
been questioned. Mr.. Hyde is well
known all over the United States, anu
stands high in the estimation of Sec
rotary Wilson, and with government
officials generally.
Brokers Summoned.
Secretary Wilson has taken hold of
the inquiry with great energy. He is
very much aroused, and intends to
probe the alleged scandal to the bot
tom. Friday four New York brokers
appeared before him to give testimony
in the case. What they had to say on
the subject or what information Sec
rotary Wilson expected to elicit from
them is not made known. In TACT, IL
is not admitted ut the department that
such q visit was made. The identity
of the New Workers is not revealed.
They arrived here Friday morning, and
after comforting With the Secretary
quietly returned to New York. Their
presence here was not known outside
of the department until yesterday. The
authorities are conducting the inquiry
with the greatest secrecy, and, as much
of the work is being done by Secret
Service agents. the details of the case
will probably not be known until Sec
rotary Wilson is ready to take the
public into his confidence.
Mir. Cheatham expressed himself as
delighted with the energy of Secretary
Wilson's proceedings.
NO man could do more than he il
doing" he said.
