Will Long Land?
HE WILL!

ACCORDING to rumor, the
probability is that w. F. Long,
Jr., chairman of the Republican
organization in Richmond coun-
ty, will receive the appointment
as acting postmaster for the
Rockingham postoffice, succeed
ing w. S. Thomas who rendered
: his resignation.
Mr.. Thomas resigned, as noted
in last weeks paper, rather than
be kicked out. The Republicans
go on the theory that to the vic,
tor belongs the spoils, and every
day that a Democrat holds an
appointive office is counted that
much lost by the opposing
faithful"
1t is said that last year when
the Hamlet postoffice scrap was
III progress, a Hamlet Republl-
can secuted about and secured
the written endorsements of the
executive committee This arous-
ed some other Republicans, and
so at a later meeting of the exec
utive committee, a leading Re
publican introduced a resolution
to the effect that no candidate
should receive any endorsement,
private or otherwise, from mem.
bers of the committee until
called meeting should be held
and the various applicants have
a chance to be heard. The reso
luton passed unanimously. But
apparently it was a scrap O
paper" z
Last week one of the candi
dates for the Rockingham post
office called on the chairman
MIR Long, and asked that a meet
ing of the executive COMMITTEES
be called so that the claims D
the candidates could be put be
fore them and a proper endorse
ment made. The candidate wa,
informed by Mr.. Long, it is said
that such a meeting Was-unneces
sary, as he (Mr. Long, had al
ready been endorsed. He hat
sent a messenger, Stokes Man
ship, around in a car to the vari
GUS committeeman and secureC
then endorsement of himself
This, viewed by the disappointed
candidate, was contrary to th'
agreement and resolution, and i
made him indignant, wrathy, il
fact boiling over; and he pro
ceeded to give vent to his feel
ings in no uncertain terms.
At any rate, the batch of in
dorsements was sent by Mt
Bong to John Motley Moreheat
at Charlotte, and then with hi
endorsement, the papers wer'
sent to Washington. And so TIL
appointment Of MIR. Long vii
doubtless be made Immediately
If indeed it has not already beer
done, be to act as postmaster I'm
ii some form Of examination cal
* held later.
