EDUCATION BOARD
GETS BINDERS ON
EXPIRED POLICIES
Insurance Agent Announces Ac-
ton to Compel Accept
ance of His Low Bid.

The members of the finance commit
tee of the Board of Education, with
the exception of Commissioners Brown,
held a conference today with the heads
of the American, Newark and Fire
mems Insurance Companies at the
offices of the Newark Fire Insurance
Company, at which the matter of Sc
curing binders on the $2,5oO,oo insur-
ance on school property, which expired
at noon today, was gone over.
A rather unusual feature of the sit
uation Is the fact hat the companies
that were represented at today's con-
ference a but little Interest in the
insurance tina the finance committee
sought to a v protected, and, 1t Is I'M
derstood that all three companies COM
bined carried but a very small frac-
ton of the 81, 500, 900 insurance involved.
That overtures should have been
mad to these companies under the cir
cumstances above cited is regarded as
peculiar by the representatives of COM
panies who were very much interested
in the insurance placed last year, as
well as the amount that it Is expected
to place this cal. 1t is believed that
If a conference was to be held at all 1t
should have included all of the repre-
sentatives who were interested in the
insurance under consideration, and just
why the three companies represented
at today's meeting should have been
singled out to the exclusion of the
other agents has not yet been fully ex-
planned.
Binders Are Granted.
After the situation a been thor
oughly gone over binders were secured
for a nominal extension of fifteen days,
but it is understood thu the arrange
ment is susceptible to an indefinite ex-
tension. 5000
1t is understood that the finance
committee explained TO the representa-
tives of the companies at today's con-
ference were not awarded to the lowest
bidders was because some of the COM
mittee believed that if overtures were
made to the local companies direct that
an arrangement could be made where
by the figures submitted in the blds
could be improved upon.
This phase of the matter, 1t is said,
was advanced by the committee as a
SORT OF IeeleF 10 eoc Ho" eHO 4NS~
would appeal to the Representatives
present, but the latter i'd not commit
themselves, and doubtless accepted the
hint to take the matter under advise
ment.
Joseph Wright, who submitted
of h lowest bids for n end of the
insurance recently advertised by the
Board of Education, and who failed to
secure the portion that he bid on, also
submitted binders on the insurance
that expired today, but it is understood
that the committee did not consider his
figures.
Mr.. Wright has announced his inten-
ton of taking legal steps to force the
board to recognize the lowest bidders,
and he Will fight any attempt to award
the business in any other way.

first time in more than fifteen years
the city will be in Democratic control,
having a Democratic mayor and Com

In a number of instances the clerical

A Correction Of Errors.
A. A. Thompson, president Of the
Caraleigh Cotton mills, the Raleigh
Cotton mills. and the Neuse River
mills. was seen yesterday by a re-
porter Of The News and Observer.
and his attention was called to the
article in the Greensboro News Mr..
Thompson was asked about the ar
ticle and said:
THE article in question has several
errors, which l think should be cor
rected. In the first place. Mr.. Mel
son was not put out of his position,
but SEN in his resignation. In the
second place. the management Of nei-
Their OF the mills, with which | am
connected, cares anything about the
politics of any Of its employees, neither
does it discuss politics with them. Mr..
Horace 3. Greason is the superin-
tendent Of the Raleigh Cotton mills,
and Mr.. II. G. Butler is the super.~-
tendent of the Caraleigh Cotton Mills
Company. Both Of these men are
Northern men: both are Republicans,
and have lived in Raleigh about
twenty years. Either Of them will teS-
tify to the statement which / make
in regard to politics affecting their
standing, or heir relation with the
management
Mr.. Thompson was asked about Mr..
Nelson's statement that he desired
polling places nearer the mills. ana
leaves the inference that the manage
ment did not desire this. Mr.. Thomp-
son said that as a matter of fact, the
management Of the mills co.operated
With those who wished the polling
place nearer the mills, and did what
they could to secure it, but the u
ty authorities said they could not
make two polling places in that pre-
cinct.
Supt. III. c. Butler Says incorrect.
Mr.. Fl. c. Butler. the superintendent
Of the Caraleigh Cotton mills. a man
held in high repute in Raleigh, where
he is a past master Of Raleigh lodge
of Masons, No. 500, and has friends
in all walks, a Northern mar and q
Republican. declares Mr.. Nelson to be
in error in his statement n says:

sion and That No Attempt Has

tics.
There appeared in the Greensboro
News. (~Republican) in its issue OF
March 3, a remarkable special from
Raleigh which entirely misrepresents
the city and county and the manage
ment of the mill, as shown by the
testimony Of Northern Republicans in
charge of cotton mills here under the
same management as the mill about
which Mr.. Will Nelson complains.
Their testimony, given freely, shows
that Mr.. Will Nelson has misrepre-
scented this city and county and the
mill management under whom he
worked as superintendent OF the
Neuse River Cotton Mills.

The special in question in the
Greensboro News under the head of
small Politics is as follows:
Raleigh. March Twill Nelson,
for q long while superintendent of
the Neuse cotton mills, has given up
his position and left tonight foI

North and says he made an earnest
effort to locate in North Carolina per-
manently, but that political prejudice
thwarted his efforts. Mr.. Nelson is
an enthusiastic Republican and III the
last election took a lively interest II
The campaign. He made a light 1of
providing a special precinct for the
Nnuse mill section so that the mer
could go and vote Without losing a
whole day from their work., but the

ton machinery refused this accom-
mediation, evidently just to make i
as difficult as possible for the Repub'
lican sentiment among the mill mer

He also charges the local Democratlt

Nelson believes, cut him orr IRON

No Attempt TO Control Politics.

Mr.. Horace b. Greason, another
highly esteemed citizen, who is a
Northern man and 4 Republican, the
superintendent Of the Raleigh Cotton
Mills, says:
L have been living in Raleigh for
twenty years, working with the Raj
eigh Cotton Mills as superintendent
ent. / am a native of New York and
in politics always a Republican, NO
one connected With the mills has ever
suggested to me as to my politics or
how 1 should vote. L have always
| voted as ] pleased without any persua-
sion, and always voted Republican.
In Raleigh l have always been treated
all right. 1t looks TO me as If Mr..
Nelson had made q bad break in his
statements for as far as | know there
| has been no coercion in the mills or
attempts Of any kind to control poll
tics by the management.
Mr.. Nelson and the Press.
In so far as the of Raj
Ugh are concerned. there has been
nothing said thai would attempt 70
! coerce Mr.. Nelson. At q textile meet
ing held here g year ago the address
Of Nh. Nelson was praised as being OF
high merit, and there was no question
asked as to his politics. As to what
his grievance may be there IS only
! conjecture. but the testimony OF two
other Northern men, Republicans al
so. and superintendents Of cotton
mills under the same 1anagement as
the mill which Mr.. Nelson was su-
perintendent. is Of such q character
as to utterly disproEe the statements
of Mr.. Nelson. showing that the mill
mana cement looks to efficient work
only and that the matter Of polltlcS
does not enter into the question.
The truth is that the fact that the
slperintendents of the other two mills
are Northern men and Republicans,
well satisfied with conditions and e
cIaring that no question Of politics
enters into the matter, is sufficient an
ever to the wholly d~nWaTranted
charges Of Mr.. Nelson.

The NEWS of the appointment by the

The NEWS OF the appointment by the
governor OF Mr.. S. Roszell Donahoe, OF
Fairfax, to be state auditor to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Colonel
Marye, was received with considerable
qualification in this city, where he is
so generally known. OF course, and
quite naturally, the appointment Of
Mr.. C. Lee Moore, an Alexandrian,
who for so many years has been
the efficient chief clerk in the auditor
Office, would have been more pleasing
to his host of friends here, but with
that exception it is safe to say that nc
other man is more acceptable to Alex
andrians than is Mr.. Donahoe. He is
a man OF sterling qualities, OF the
strictest honesty and integrity, with the
courage to do what is right, and he will
doubtless make capital officer. Mr..
Moore, his many friends will be glad
to know, will retain his present posi-
ton as chief clerk at q slight increase
in his salary.

FEAR is expressed by many thought
ful members of Congress that the new
democratic plan OF taking the power OF
appointing committees out OF the hands
of the speaker and placing it in the
hands OF either the democratic caucus
or committee on committees may
result in confusion. There promises to
be a wide divergence Of opinion when
the caucus assemblies on January -,
and too much care cannot be taken IN
the consideration of the question. The
appointment of the committees by the
speaker has been q right conferred upon
that officer since the foundation OF the
government and many there are who
believe that no good will result from a
change in this custom. A man in
whom sufficient confidence is placed to
be made speaker, it would seem, could
be trusted with the appointment OF the
committees and the prediction is al
ready made that should this power be
taken from the speaker and Invested in
a committee the chickering's and dis.
sensions that the change would cause
would extend throughout the entire ses'
sion of Congress. Therefore, 20 slow,
IS the advice OF the most conservative
leaders.
