The Christmas holidays passed
quietly and pleasantly in Fayette-
vile. Some of the Sunday schools
had Christmas trees and other
suitable entertainments. Per
haps the most notable event of
the week was a donation of fruits
and confectioneries to the chill
dren of Fayetteville by our gen
erous and public spirited whole
sale fruit dealer, Mr.. W. F.
Smith. A great throng gathered
in the Armory on Tuesday after
noon Dec. 31st, and after ap-
propriate remarks by Rev. J. J.
Hall and Rev. I. W. Hughes,
fifteen hundred children were
literally treated to choice fruits
and candies. The kindness of
Mr.. Smith is abundantly appre.
ciated by the people of Fayette-
vile.
The Cape Fear Electric Power
Plant at Buckhorn is about com.

YELLOW DOG MAN DIED.
Joudge Andrew Hamilton Found Dead
In Bed From DiIation of Heart.

In Bed From Dilation of Heart.
Albany, N. Y, March 3.-Andrew
Hamilton, formerly counsel for the
New York Life and other insurance
companies and in charge for many
years of insurance litigation and legis-
lative matters in all parts of this coun-
try and Canada, was found dead in bed
yesterday morning.
An autopsy disclosed an acute dila-
ton of the heart, which must have
caused practically instantaneous death
at some time during the night.
Of "YeIlow Dog" Fame.
Judge Hamilton, who was so called
because he was twice elected judge of
the Albany city court, was most wide.
ly known in a popular way by the con-
nection of his name with disclosures
regarding political and legislative mat
tiers during the insurance investiga-
ton of 1905. His name was used in
connection with the famous yellow
dog fund of the insurance companies.
He was one of the spectacular fea-
lures of the insurance investigation,
and his testimony before the investi.
eating committee was sensational.
Resented Being Made s~capegoat.
He resented an apparent effort to
make him a scapegoat and at one time
caused a commotion for fear he would
tell all he knew.
Judge Hamilton was ffty-five years
Of age. He was formerly district at
torney of Albany county, clerk of the
state court of claims and during the
last ten or fifteen years has become
widely known as an authority upon
corporation and especially upon insur-
ance law.

MAIL CONTRACT GRAB Fooled.
Stevenson and Stafford Are Active in
Blocking Steal.

oioSNiiS Shce'
Washington, March l. - In connec-
ton with the report to the house yes
terday of the postoffice appropriation
bill by the committee on postoffices
there were interesting disclosures re-
garding the most remarkable contest
that has taken place in a committee
of congress during the present session
over the details of legislation.
The controversy was over a PROPOSE
toin for changing the weighing period
of mails carried on railroads, the effect
of which change would be materially
to increase the compensation Of the
railroads for mail carriage. The cir
cumstances under which the matter
was submitted to the committee and
the test vote, showing a tie, which was
broken by one member changing his
vote, were attended by what was said
to be almost riotous demonstrations
by the members who favored or op-
posed the change in legislation.
BY a vote Of 10 to s the proposition
was defeated.
The Representatives on the postofice
committee from the Northwest lined
up against the proposed increased pay
to the railroads and vigorously COM
bated the Introduction of the item
making the change. Representatives
Steenerson Of Minnesota and Stafford
Of Wisconsin were active and aggres-
sive in preventing the increase.
1t is estimated that II the item had
been carried into the bill and agreed
to by both houses It would have in
creased the compensation for railway
mail carriage approximately 81. 900.
