POStOffCe Contest Waxing Hot

"A rumOr was current here yes
terday that j. X. Elder had been
appointed Postmaster to succeed
the late Alex. Mccormick, but a
thorough sitting of the facts in the
case by COURIER man disclosed
the fact that it was only rumored"
that Mr.. Elder had received the
appointment.
While the different factions in
the Republican camp are not talk
ing to newspaper reporters, we
can state without fear OF cOntradic-
ton that the case now stands prac-
tlcally as follows: In the begin
ming Mr.. +. \. Lindsey was in
clined to believe that he would
have the Endorsement of Bascom
Slemp, the State Chairman, as he
had been indorsed by the County
Committee; his hand was later
strengthened by the fact that he
had been recommended by the pat
rOnage committee Of this Congress
siOnal district. The COURIER at
that time predicted Mr.. Lindsey 5
appointment. The development
OF yesterday was the appearance OF
a letter from q man in position to
know, in which the statement
was made that Slemp wassupport-
ing Elder.
If the appointment is ever made
out in Mr. Elders name there vii
probably be some hot doing.
when it comes up before the Senat,
for confirmation, for the anti-Elder
forces here are not the kind O
people who will let the appoint
ment 90 through withoutthe hard
est kind of a fight. The principa
plank in their opposition to Mr.
Elder Is the statement that he i
not now and never has been
registered voter and citizen her
and Is not entitled to consideration
with bona fide citizens of th

The case of Commonwealth vs..
Arthur Strange, charged with Sc

with arson, will probably come up
for hearing. No other criminal
cases will be ready for trial at the

It's expected that large number

New Story Of Lees Mother

The one hundred and first ami
versary of the birth.of Gen. Robert
f.. Lee. recalls the little known
fact the he was born more than a
year after his mother had been
buried, furnishing to the world one
of the most astonishing cases Of
reviviscence on record.
General Lees mother was by
no means an entirely healthy
woman, and the physician at the
home of Henry Lee Light Horse
Harry, was kept in almost constant
attendance. Mrs. Lee suffered
from catalepsy, and during pro-
longed trance she was pronounced
dead. The body was prepared for
interment, and the morning of the
third day after her supposed death
the remains were laid to rest in the
family vault in the graveyard of
that pretty little Virginia village.
While the sexton was cleaning
upandarranging some fresh flowers
to be placed on the caSkc,. he heard
a faint voic' a. though Of some one
calling for assistance.
OF course. me old man was
somewhat alarmed, but as he had
seen many wears OF services in the
city OF the dc-d. ' he did not leave
the vault. He listened closely and

but She did regain good heal,h and ;
little more than year after ,h,
was buried alive her youngest son
Robert T., was born. and thus came
into the world one of her braves
