FEDERAL BUILDING DELAYED.
Rocky Mount Work Awaits INSPECTORS
Approval of Material.

ROCKY Mount, Oct. 1S.-A slight
DELAY mas been experienced in the
starting OF the work on the new post
once building on the corner of Tar
Doro and Rose streets. though il is not
believed that it will be for more than
just a few days.
The pOstoftice Inspector, who has
IN hand the matter of approving the
material to be used in The construction
OF the building, is more or less re-
sponsible for the postponement of the
beginning of the work It this time.
The contractor came here several
weeks ago and secured SAMPLES of all
OF the material that he would use in
the building, at least for the imme-
date present. These he collected and
left with the postmaster to await the
arrival Of the inspector to examine
and approve or reject them.
Finally, the inspector found tina il
would be impossible for him to come
here without considerable delay, ant
he wrote here asking for the samples
and these were sent Thursday to hin
! at Hampton, Va, where he is nov
stationed for a very short while.
A new lease by the government ha.
been taken out on the present quar-
tiers Of the poStoffice in the Masoni
| Temple building, where the postoffc
has been since the new building wa
! completed about ten years ago. TIL
new lease reads for three years NOR
or less" which gives the government
the right to withdraw as soon as tn
new Federal building here has bee.
completed.

SEEKS TO fNJO|N ISSUANCE OF STOCK COMPRESS OFFICERS SUED J. W. JAMES ALLEGES UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION IN NEW
 STOCK ISSUE,

oeeklng to enJoln the issuance of 51G additional shares of the capital stock of the Conway Compress Con- pany on the ground that the capital lis already sufficient for needs of the concern and that plaintiff is being un- fairly treated in the distribution of the new stock, J. w. James today filed suit in the Faulkner chancery court against the other officers and directors of the company, D. o. Harton, G. L. Banner. Gus Bush, w. B. Stark and J. Frank Jones.
 The complaint, which is lengthy one, presents the plaintiffs version of differences said to have arisen between him and the other officers as a result of the acquisition of a considerable amount of additional stock by the plaintiff after the company was organ ized, and the complaint declares that the new stock issue is an effort to cur tail his voting power and share in the control of the company's business. 
 According to the complaint, the C,n. way Compress Company was organiz- cd with an authorized capital stock of $50 900, divided into 2,0O0 shales of S25 each. Of this amount, however, only 580 shares were actually paid in, and the paid-up capital of $14 300 is declared by the plaintiff to be ample for the concerns needs. The plaintiff states that he subscribed and paid for 40 shares and afterwards became the owner of 14O additional shares. The defendants, the complaint alleges, were dissatisfied with these acquisitions by the plaintiff and disagreed with him as to the details of the management.
 Last October, it is stated in the com plaint, the defendants proposed to di- minish the holdings and voting power of the plaintiff by issuing 510 addition al shares of capital stock of par value of s12,750, of which only five per cent was to be paid in, amounting to s637.5O. In order to do this, the plaintiff declares that the defendants declared an unearned dividend of five per cent to cover this assessment and no money whatever was derived from the sale of said stock"
 The plaintiff James declares that he protested Intellectually against the is- suance of the additional stock on the ground that it was unnecessary, and that he afterwards demanded the priv Iilege of subscribing his pro rata share of the new stock, which, he claims, would amount to 159 shares. He was at first allowed to subscribe for only 40 shares, he claims, and afterwards was informed that he would be grant ed 90 shares.
 In concluding, the complaint asks both temporary and permanent injunc- tions against the issuance of the new stock and also asks that if the court decides the issuance valid, the defend ants berequired to allow the plaintiff his pro rata share of such stock.
 No date has as yet been fixed for the hearing of the application for in- junction, which will be tried before Chancellor Jordan Sellers
