GLENN LAUGHS
At TALK ABOUT
WHITE HOUSE

RALEIGH, n. c, July Ex-Governor
Glenn and some OF his friends here
are very much amused over the pre-
cipitateness OF some Of the newspap pers
and newspaper correspondents to hurry
him into the White House since Satur-
day evening. when the general counsel
OF the Southern Railway Company capt.
tulated and signed the terms Of peace
dictated and demanded by the governor.
Some Of the Northern newspapers
have been addressing inquiries to promi-
nent politicians and officials. asking 81
It is true as tele yraphed 70 them that
North Carolina would present Glenn as
the States candidate TO the national
convention for President. and that II
had been learned that Bryan would
agree 70 present the name or second the
nomination Of Glenn.
Governors Own Opinion.
When Governor Glenn was spoken TO
on the subject today he expressed the
opinion that all such talk at this time
was not only precipitate. but that it
appeared that some people were judg-
ing him TO be more foolish than he be-
Eeved himself 20 be.
He thought he was quite able to see
that such spontaneous suggestions,
brought to life IN a day, are apt to
have a very brief existence
He is not foolish enough to suppose the
whole party-or either wing OF 1t
would rush in to nominate any man as
the candidate OF the Democratic party
| for President simply because he had
made a successful fight in a contest that
attracted national attention.
Will Not Lose Head.
That the question Of availability and
general fitness for the exalted office
would receive consideration at the hands
Of any convention charged with max
| ing the nomination for such office by
either OF the two great parties he did
not doubt.
The governor said he did not think
he would lose his heao on account of
some Of the extraxaganI kilograms and
editorials printed yesterday in several
OF the New York and other Northern
newspapers.
Governor Glenn's friends here largely
think he would prefer the probability Of
securing after his term expires at the
State capitol. something nearer home
and moro in keeping with his actual
aspirations, than even the possibility OF

is that Henry A. Dupont, United

PENDANTS to the action which charges
a combination and conspiracy in re-
Straint of trade, and which not only
asks for an injunction restraining the

of the powder and dynamite bust
ness, but prays that a receiver be ap-
pointed for the leading companies
! the {. /. Dupont de NemourS Pow
der Company, Latin & Rand Pow

that the receiver administer the af-
fairs Of these corporations under the
direction of the { ederal court until

dynamite trade in the United States
and in its commerce with foreign
nations shall be in harmony with
law.

Box Rent Rates.

In order to provide definite and
satisfactory rule for the collection of
box ren,s the post Office department has
made schedule, based upon the kind
and capacity Of boxes and the gross
receipts at postoffice, which will be
strictly adhered to by department in
the establishment of all box rent rates
from and after January l, 1907. The
rate for box rent at Reynoldsville on
this new schedule of rates will be as
follows: Small call boxes 25 cents,
large call boxes 50 cents, small lock
boxes 45 cents, medium lock boxes &C
cents, large lock boxes 10 cents.
Some people are under the impression
that Postmaster Burns is responsible
for the advance in box rent and that he
gets the receipts from these boxes
That is not correct. The postoffice de-
partment fixes the rental rate for boxes
and all money received for box rent is
turned over to "Uncle SAM" same as
money received for sale of postage
stamps, etc. Then don't blame the
postmaster. He is obeying orders
Heretofore there was no established
basis for box rent.

Worth Looking After.

We have been reliably informed that
it is the intention of the P. r. r. Co. to
move the train dispatchers office from
Reynoldsville to Pittsburg In the spring
which means the removal of number
of fsmilies from Reynoldsville, not only
including those connected with the
dispatohers Office, but also means the
taking away of the work train from
this place. 1t is possible that II the
board OF trade or a number of leading
business men OF Reynoldsvllle would
take the matter up Immediately with
the railroad officials that the company
might be persuaded to reconsider the
matter and keep the dispatchers office
at Reynoldsville. 1t is worth making
an effort for, and the time to do it is
before all arrangements are made for
moving the Office. Do it now.

Passing Of The Enterprise.

The Enterprise Silk Company, which

years, has quite business here, the lease
having expired. The Enterprise Silk
Co. had put number of looms in the
mill and these looms have been shipped
to mills being operated by this company
at other places. Just how long the silk
mill will be idle is not known at present,
but we hope the suspension will not be
long. The silk will was one of the best
industries in the town, giving employ
ment to large number of young people
at good wages.
