Bro. Sheriff. Mistaken.
He Has Construed the Friend
ly Mention of His Candidacy
as Editorial Endorsement, so
says Mr.. Shipman.

To the Editor of the Gold Leaf.
| notice in a recent issue of your paper
that my clever competitor, Mr.. J. b.
Sheriff., makes the statement that he
has received almost the unanimous en-
dOrsement Of the North Carolina press
in bis candidacy for Commissioner OF La
Dor and Printing 1t is evident that
brother Sheriff. has construed the friend
ly mention of his candidacy by a number
of brethren to mean an editorial en-
dorsement, for some OF them who extend
ed that courtesy to him have assured me
of their personol support in the contest.
With three editors ''in the field" it is not
reasonable to presume that any one will
have the almost unanimous endorse
ment" Of the press OF hesitate, and am
satisfied such is not the case.
Brother Sheriff. is honestly mistaken
in his conclusion. have in mind, at this
writing, large number of Democratic
editors. many of them prominent in the
profession and all hustlers in politics,
who are supporting me. Comments OF
the Dem Ocratic press have been very sat
isfactOry to my friends, and brother
Cobb has, doubtless, received some en-
enlargement from the brethren also.
am making no extravagant claims, but
wish to say that present conditions are
extremely encouraging, and l have no
fears of an unfa vOrable considerable n OF
my candidacy. either at the hands of the
Democratic editors Or leaders of the
party in North Carolina.

SENATOR SCOTT WANTS LEGis
LATIoN 5FoR. WARNING 6. DOWN
RIVER PEOPLE.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-senator
Scott has taken up The question Of
flood news with the weather bureau.
During the last high water in the
Ohio, many OF the towns along the
river complained that news Of the
height Of the river above was not
furnished as often as 1t was needed.
Wheeling complained and suggested
that IT needed hourly bulletins.
Parkersburg and other cities fol-
lowed and the complaint became gem
eral, Point pleasant suffered especial
ly during this and previous foods for
want Of information. All these being
brought to the senator's attention, he
at once placed himself in communi-
cation with the weather bureau to see
what could be. done. AS a result the
special river men of the weather bu-
reau left last evening for the Ohio Val
ley. He will visit most of the towns
along the river and report at once
what can be done. n
Senator Scott suggested place of
wiring each hour the rapidity in which
the river was rising at points above
the larger cities. The smaller towns
we're to be served two or three times
day. Where there is a weather bu-
reau station the message could be tel
egraphed to the operator in charge, in
other cases the Telegram could be sent
to the mayor OF the town:
Just as soon as the weather bureau
agent makes his report Senator Scott
will follow 1t with any needed legisla.
tion by asking for the immediate adop'
tion Of such.
