BROWN TO REMAIN COLLECTOR
His Resignation Returned to Him
Nothing in the Charges Against
Him.

NothinS III the CnargeS against
Him.
Statesville Landmark
Washington correspondents of the
daily papers continue to write about
the status of the internal revenue
collectorship for this district and
have repeatedly referred to charges
filed against Collector Brown and Mr.
Browns answer. This week it was
stated that the charges and the an
swer were being considered by the
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury.
AS a matter of fact the collector
ship has been settled by the retention
of Mr.. Brown. The Landmark so
stated in it's issue of February 3rd,
two weeks ago, and that statement
was correct and stands. Last sum-
mer when Mr.. Reynolds, of Wilkes
boro, was appointed collector at the
instance of Congressman Cowles, Mr..
Browns resignation was called for
and was promptly forwarded. Rey-
holds was not confirmed and has not
been re-appointed and Mr.. Brown, of
course, held on. Two weeks ago
when it was definitely decided that
he should be retained, his resigna-
ton, filed last summer, was return
ed to him. That is certainly ample
evidence that the matter is settled.
The formal re-appointment Of Mr..
Brown is not necessary, as collectors
are not appointed for any special
term.
It is proper to say that the charges
filed against Mr.. Brown amount to
nothing, as those who know him un-
derstood all along.

DISTHILING IN A LARD CAN.
An Outfit Found on the Stove of an
Alexander Citizen That Suggested
Brandy Making.
Statesville Landmark

Statesville Lanlmark.l
Nosing around in Alexander Coun-
ty Monday night, Deputy Collector
Davis. of Statesville. and Sheriff
Adams, of Alexander. made call at
the home of Mr.. Harye Lackey and
found a peculiar vessel on the stove
in Mr.. Lackey's kitchen. The vessel
or still, or whatever one may choose
to call it, was seven-gallon lard can
with wooden head. On top of this
wooden head was tin condenser, an
ingenious arrangement with a pipe
of glass and cane on one side, trans
hitting fluid into a jar. On top
and to one side Of the condenser a
can Of water was soNarranged that
the water trickled in in thep roper
proportion and passed out at another
point
Mr.. Davis, who has had long ex-
perience in examining all sorts of
arrangements set up to manufacture
''speerits," says he never saw one
exactly like this. Whoever invented
the condenser could, il there is de-
mand for continuance of that sort,
make money by getting a patent on
his invention.
Cider was boiling in the lard can
and the officers had suspicion that
the fluid passing out of the cane pipe
might be brandy, but Mr.. Lackey
averred that he was boiling cider fof
his own use, and it may be that the
officers, inclined to be suspicious in
all such cases. were too suspicious.
But in the abundance Of caution they
brought the outfit away with them
and Mr.. Davis now has it in charge.

will be running night and day until
January. Enough orders have been
booked to keep him busy until the 1st
of the year, and by that time it is ex-
pected that enough additional business
will be booked to keep things running
indefinitely.
The recent dizziness at the plant has
not been due TO lack of business. but
rather to the fact that those who have
placed orders with the company have
not had their copy ready
At the present time Conkey has

FISHING At PARK
T|CK[ES THE K|DD|ES
Harrison Park Thronged With Both Boys and Girls Yes
terday After the Festive Bullhead.

Two hundreds joyously happy chill
dren had the time of their lives at
Harrison park yesterday, when the ban
on fishing was lifted, and for a whole
day they were able to enjoy the an
ticipative thrills of waiting for a bite.
The little fishermen and fsherwomen
gathered in groups about the lagoons
and with improvised poles and lines
engaged in the greatest sport of child
hood
Wednesday in all sections of the city
the necessary preliminaries were gone
through. Back lots were spaded up in
the feverish search for worms, fishing
poles were brought from their hiding
places. bobbers were adjusted on the
lines. hooks were tied on and every
thing was made in readiness for open
fishing In the park.
Fishermen Appear Early.
And early yesterday morning the
first young fishermen appeared in the
park. In the belief that the early worm
gets the fish, there were a number of
boys in the park at o'clock in the
morning.
Some of them had good luck, but
most everybody had some luck. The
lagoons are full of bullheads and
strings of eight and ten buIlheads were
seen. some or the f1Sh weighed as
much as a pound and a half. but the
average size was small
But it was great sport for the young
sters. In many cases yesterday will
be an event in the lives of children.
One little fellow trudged all of the
way from the Standard district for the
purpose of engaging in the fishing. An
other came from East Hammond in the
vicinity of Calumet avenue and state
street. 1t seemed as though Hey kids,
let's go fishing" had become the slogan
of the juvenile population OF the whole
city in the course OF an hour.
Swimming Great sport.

Kick on Assessments.

A number of north side property

of the city.
For instance lots on the north side
that could not possibly be sold for more
than 5000 are assessed at $3.50 a lot
when lots in Homewood that are known
to be worth $3.50 are assessed at only
SITS.
The people of the north side are de-
termined that the board of review shall
give them a substantial reduction. A

and went in swimming. "Chaws beef

scores of other characteristic express
sions were heard from the dozens of
boys and girls who availed themselves
of the bathing privileges.
And those who saw the happy throng
became more convinced than ever that
it is the small parks in the thickly
populated sections of the city, parks
that are built along the playground
idea, that are needed in Hammond. The
wholesome effect of day in the parks
cannot be over-estimated, and when
such effervescent joy as was witnesses
yesterday is possible for such small
expense the purchase of parks is a
cheap luxury.
