Butler Comes Back"-More-
head Certain to be Next Re-
publican State Chairman.

Mr.. r. W. Vincent, managing
editor of the Charlotte Observer,
has been sojourning at Republican
headquarters at Morehead City
for few days and he writes his
paper that it may be put down as
a settled thing that Congressman
John NJ. Morehead will be the
next chairman of the Republican
State executive committee and
that he will not be a candidate
to succeed himself in Congress
from the fifth district but that
Prof. W. A. Blair, of Winston
Salem, will be nominated to op-
pose Major Chas. NJ. Steadman.
Mr.. Vincent thinks that beyond
question Chairman Duncan has
lost out. For the first time in
the history of the Republican
party in the State, he writes,
the rank and file has walked
up and for the first time in it's
history has begun at the begin
ning--the primaries. Quietly, but
assiduously, ever since last Jan
uary the plans to overthrow the
present regime have been in
formation. It embraced the or
ganization of every precinct of
every county in the State---some-
| thing new for the Republicans,
for it is known of all men that
the office-holding Republicans Of
the State wanted no organization
and did not want the party to
grow. The spoils wouldn It 90
around if the party developed.
i In this rafting of old bones the
fine Italian hand"of ex-senator
Marion Butler is seen. Ever since
former Senator Butler has been
in Morehead City conducting
Morehead's campaign there has
been something doing, and But
ler's activities seem to mean
trouble for the Democratic party
trouble this year aud more trouble
two years hence. Butler declares
] that the Republicans expect MOI
; only to hold the fifth, eight anc
tenth districts this year but te
carry the third, fourth, sixth
and seventh districts.

Court Snstains Demurrer to Suit
of Apprentices Against
Limit to Helpers

The agreement between the Journey

Plumbers association limiting the mum
Der of apprentices or helpers TO the
proportion of one to every four Jour :
neymen was declared by Judge SeaWeil
yesterday to be a lawful agreement.
A demurrer to the suit of the appren-
tees organization, known as the
plumbers and gas filters union, in
which an Injunction was sought re-
straining the journeymen and masters
from carrying their agreement into
force. was sustained by the court
There were about 225 members OF
the apprentices union when the COM
pact was signed last April Most of
them were discharged when the limit
alton was agreed upon.
Daniel A. Ryan, attorney for the
journeymens union and the Master
Plumbers association. contended that
the contract was not Illegal. and judge
Seawell held that 1t was not contrary
to the Cartwright act nor any other
law of the state of California and was
not in restraint of trade.
Judge Seawell said that the court
was asked to restrain the journeymen
from quitting work if the masters en-
ployed more apprentices than the
agreement stipulated, and this would
in effect be TO order man to keep at
work
Judge Seawell allowed 10 days to
file an amended complaint. adding THAI
he did not think the plaintiffs could
do so.
The apprentices alleged that the
agreement was adopted at secret
meeting, at which the masters and
iourneymen conspired to prevent ma
jority of the apprentices from obtain
ing work Besides limiting the pro-
portion of apprentices to one for four
journeymen the agreement provided
that no more than four apprentices
should be employed in any one shop.
The journeymen announced that they
would not work for any master
plumber who did not adopt the agree
ment. and the masters undertook to
impose fine of 5000 upon each mem
Der of their association who broke 1t.

How Eggs Are Hatched In China.

How Eggs Are Hatehed In China.
There is in China a curious method
of Matching eggs. First the eggs are
placed in tiers in large basket, twice
the size of an ordinary barrel, which is
thfckly lined with hay and carefully
closed from the air by tight fitting
cover of twisted straw. In three days
time the eggs are taken out and re-
placed in different order, those at
the surface being put in the lower tier.
This is repeated every third day for
fortnight. when the eggs are removed
from the basket and placed on shelf
in another room, being carefully COW
cred with bran. In a day or two the
chickens chip the shells and make
their appearance into the world. The
success Of this method Is attributed to
the fact that the animal heat of the
egg, being retained by the basket.
which is formed of material not con-
Quoting caloric, is sufficient to support
animal life and develop it-Detroit

The firm Of Fairchild & Co. contin-
ued to publish fiction with varying
success. One day the head Of the firm
called for Mr.. Burton and said to him:
This manuscript novel was left here
by Agnes Darlington, whose Desert
ed Wife we published last season and
which has had, as you know, q very
large sale. 1t was not the best seller
of the season, but came very near be-
ing such. This manuscript Is by Miss

Miss Darlington, who is to give us an
other novel in a few months and
which the Clymers are endeavoring to
get away from us. This thing. "A Life
of Ease must be published to prevent
the Clymers getting ahead of us. We
will lose something on 1t, but make
large sum on Miss Darlington's new
story"
Mr. Burton retired with the manu-
script. "a Life of Ease" was issued
In as inexpensive form as the Fair
childs dared publish it without giving
offense to its invalid author and her
granddaughter. The first edition was
exhausted and another put forth. This
failed to satisfy the growing interest
in the book, and one edition after an
other was given to the dealers. At the
end Of the season when the records of
sales were figured up "a Life of Ease
was found to be the second best seller.
When this fact was announced to the
head of the firm he tapped his bell for
Mr.. Burton and when that gentleman
arrived said to him:
"Mr. Burton, you will discharge our
regular reader and put the porter in
her place."
"But the porter can't read, SIR

to read the manuscripts to him.
