Dry Cleaners
Board Spends
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY G.. LYNN NISiSET.

Raleigh, FEB. 15.-.When figures
showing collection and expenditure of
money by the dry cleaners commits
sion were made public, a number of
legislators began to wonder if the
commission hadn't been given a pretty
thorough cleaning itself. Representa-
tive Virgil Wilson, of Forsyth, thought
80 when he introduced the bill to
abolish the commission. Figures pre-
scented ut the committee hearing on
the Wilson bill show that Warren Nc
Ncil. Of Red Springs, executive sec
rotary, and John w. Caffey, of Greens
boro, attorney, and current chairman
Of the House Appropriations Commit
tee, got a good deal more than half
the money spent by the commission.
Mcneil is listed as having received
$3.50 in salary and $2,52607 in ex-
penscs as secretary while Caffey was
paid $3747,17 as fees for legal service
and drew $452.94 expense money, a
lotal for these two men of $12 ,576.1S.
Meantime, the per diem of the COM
missioners. the salary of the office
manager, per diem and expenses of
four inspectors, office equipment, sup
plies, postage, telephone, ETC., includ
ing every other expense except the
executive secretary and the lawyer,
amounted to $1O,1S6.91. In other words,
Messrs. Mcneil and Caffey got al
most exactly SIS per cent of the total
money spent by the commission.
In spite of this heavy draft upon it's
resources, however, the commission
had on January 81, 1889, a balance of

Mi. Wilson doesn't think that there
is any justification for a commission
cole citing that much money and rem
dering no more service than this one
has done, and he wants it abolished.
MI Caffey, who sponsored the bill set
ting up the commission two years ago,
is apparently well satisfied with the
manner in which it has operated.

Strange Tale
Told About
Hitch-Hiker

A strange story of a hitch-hiker
dressed as a woman but who turn
ed out to be a man is going the
rounds here, in Norlina and at War
renton. Extensive inquiry in po-
lice circles and at the sheriff's office
bring only the reply that they have
no facts about it.
According to the story, Warren
ton doctor was coming to Henderson
few days ago in his car. He came
upon what he took to be a woman,
who was nattily attired, and gave
"her" lift. A handbag was loaded
into the car along with the passeng-
er. After proceeding a short dis
tance, the doctor observed a hairy
wrist and made further casual OBJ
servation to discover his passenger
was in reality man. Suspecting a
robbery was in the making, the
doctor in some way threw his hat
out OF the window of the car, then
stopped and asked the hitch-hiker
to get out and go back for the hat,
pleading that he had an injured foot
and could walk only with difficulty.
When the man was out and some
distance back, the doctor stepped on
the gas and left the scene, losing
his hat. The passenger then shot
at the fleeing car, but missed.
On reaching Henderson, as the
story goes, the incident was reported
the suit case was turned over to Of
ficerS and examined, and in it were
found three pistols, about $500 in
cash and quantity of mems cloth
ing.
The doctor allegedly said that the
fellow went off into the woods. os-
tensibly to discard the womans
attire
Officers here profess to have no
knowledge whatever of the incident
One account of the affair is that
a Norlina woman visited her daught-
er at college in Greensboro last
weekend and that a Henderson girl
at the college told of receiving the
story of the strange hitch-hiker in
a letter from her people here.
