REPUBLICANS IV A CLOSE PLACE ' With the Republican so strongly entrenched 1n power at leaet so far a having- member of their party In full control of every department of th government Is concerned It would eem almost Impossible to de- " ; feat them at any point In view of the J rather disorganized state of the De mocracy, 'but that there is at least a rayof hope that the Democrats may ecU're control of the next House of , Representatives Is becoming more and i more Apparent by reason of the Inmir , anc scandal disclosures and other things. According to a Washington . opeqja) to The New York Kvenlng Post the second Installment or An- drew Hamilton's revelations and his expert testimony concerning the origin f Republican campaign funds has r,' struck a cold chill to the heart of the member of the Republican rongres i: skuiat campaign committee. "They ': realize," continues the correspondent, "what a tremendous effect on the pub- He -mind this opening up of the covered rf-, Stream which have been flowing Into , the money chest of the party will ri- have In the fall election. Impatience ;,: and anger are expressed at the curious ', attitude of Mr. Blum In refusing to even ' look at the photograph of the $75,000 .-Voucher which Andrew Hamilton .' hold."

There are' many whor oeyeve that he uhouW:ive ai least twice aa much, Ja Vie of the denuuida nade Opon him flnaocialiyv This idea u comflaatted by the statement - that 150,0001s "nil any American citizen frna license to spend In a year even fat the White Houao." and In the course of fba debate an Investigator has en lightened the world on all forms of foverament appropriations devoted to the Executive Mansion, The President is paid (50.000 a year Into his private purse, and the following, who tway be classed as the clerical force em p toyed In executive work, are paid by the government: Private aeeretary, 13,250; assistant private secretary $2,850; ste nographer, $1,800; , five messengers, each $1,200: four other clerks at sal aries ranging from $1,500 to $2,500; tel egraph operator, $1,200; two ushers, each $1,400; one niht usher, $1,200; a watchman, $900. These employes per form government duties. In addition to the expenditures for this purpose, the government furnishes a roan to take care of the fires at $864 a. year; a steward at $1,800 and allows' two spe oiHl funds of $40,000' and $8,000 a year. Of the larger sum, $12,500 is for repairs and for re-furnishing the White House: $2,500 Is for fuel; $4,000 Is for the frreenhouse; $15,000 for gas, match es, the upkeep of the Btable and va rious mlHcellaneous matters. The $8,000 is for stationery, carpets, the care of the stable as distinguished from ex penditures for feed equipage and the like. Altogether, therefore. It 4s fig ured that the Presldemt gets about $125,000 a year. The President of the French republic receives a salary of $120,000, probably the smallest paid highest official in any Ruropean coun try, and $120,000 for expenses, and besides he is furnished a palace- or two. The Presi dent of the United States has many expenses; he must entertain a great deal merely as Ireldent, and rho present salary of $50,000 Is not enough he should get at leant twice as much.

C.t March 48. I came nere io interview tne fion.. uavia uen- nett Hill, who Is at the Ktrkwood. a resort hotel, recuperating and resting. I knew before I left Charlotte that the Sage of Wolfert' Roost wa very wily and that many newspaper men had failed to get out of hhn Jut the word desired, tout my ambition ran riot within me, and I longed for the moment to arrive when I should ee the great lawyer and cunning politi cian. . xne Observer is very eager to know what Mr. Hill thinks of the plan of hia friend, Judge Alton B. Par ker, to nominate a Southern man for the head of the Democratic ticket two years hence. Messrs. Hill and Parker are very Intimate and, when the lat ter went from here to Charlotte two weeks ago and made a speech that has caused comment throughout the country, the next thought wa "What does David Bennett Hill say about this?" Therefore, when I landed herek early yesterday morning 1 waa bent on seeing one man, and my every effort was to be toward that end. I went prepared, for I had a letter of introduction from Mr, J. P. Caldwell. editor of The Observer, .-and I knew that Mr, Hill waa great enough to be thoughtful and considerate of news paper men who would treat him with proper courtesy and respect. A TOWN OF HISTORIC INTEREST, But, in order that the' reader may appreciate this story fully, I shall di gress here and tell something about the town and the people, natives and visitors of ancient Camden. There are old men In Charlotte and vicinity who would know the historic part or Cam d?n, for it is Just like it was when they used to haul supplies from here nearly a hundred years ago. Many of the home are moss-covered and gray with age, and numbers of them are antiquated and out of tune with the present age of strenuosity and push. The large yards, with houses far removed from the sidewalk, tell or a time of plenty and comfort. The large airy piazzas and porticos, sup ported by old-time pillars, or columns, recall ante-bellum days. As one walks tho streets he hears the. song of the mocking bird, the whistle of the thrush and the sharp, quick scold or tho blue Jay. In pot terlng around yesterday I saw hun dreds of beautiful birds, making love in tne trees; they seemed gentle, un afraid, and Indifferent to tho approach of human or brute; the great wealth of evergreens, vines and shrubs, and magnificent trees, give them a place to play, to raise and to hide. The noil of Camden la sund and diy. An hour lifter a heavy rain falls the ground Is comparatively free from water which cither aoaks in or runs iff. This Is one of the main reasons for I lie healthfuliiess and attractive ii.ss of the place. It is not unlike the ivgion round about Pinehurst, Southern Pines. Fayttevllle and other towns of North Carolina. As I entered the 'bus. a close-built tight affair, at the station. I found myself side by side or face to face with a family of tourists from New Kngland. In the party were the fath er. the mm her. and two daughters, all buxom and rosy-cheeked. The father a very prosperous-looking fellow, had a little more color In his cheeks and eyes than usual, and a sturdy incllna tlon to talk made me believe that he was feeling Just a little better than was natural. But his bluffness and frankness of speech made him Inter esting. His girls enjoyed good health and were anticipating u Jolly time at the Klrkwnod. whence we were all bound. The Northerners hud been to Florida, I'ineliurst and Southern Fines, and were on Ittr'Ir wuy home. A week or ten days at Camden would conclude their visit In the Mouth. The 'tin was very uncomfortable. Immediately over the axles and wheels It gave occasional Jars that almost loosened one's teeth. The New Eng-1 lander and his younger daughter got rough seats and the former soon dis covered that when the vehicle crossed nny obal ruction In the roHd he was In for a good Jolt and would prepare for such emergencies by lifting himself from III.' seat, and as he let himself back down, would declare: "You never gut inc." The game kept up until we reached the hotel and it became so ludicrous that everybody had to laugh. While this wa going on the good lady raved over the "grass," which happened to ho rye and oats, along the way. On entering the hotel grounds I began to l.sik around for Mr. Hill. I had seen him In Charlotte and at Ht. I.ouls and f It that I would know him. I searched for him with an eager eye In golfing, strolling, and horseback parties, but found him not. He wiih not enjoying the ozone ot the ii I Unisphere. I registered at the hotel, got a room, j-pruced up a little, reappeared on the xrciie, and went to the clerk, who uas very hospitable, and questioned him to see what lie knew about Mr. Illll. 1 heard that Mr. Hill would not see reporters of any kind. Therefore, I kept my secret. AT THK IIOTKT, KUtKWOOD. "Vou have many guests, I see?" said I In make talk. "Ye, n fine lot of them." "You have had some very dlstln gulslic.1 men here, this season?" "Yes. we have sonic now. Governor Illll. Judge O'Brien and others at hci f." How Is Mr. Hill? I understand that he Is right lck?" "No. he Is getting along all right." said the clerk, looking around to see if he was In the lobby. "Is he able to be out ?" "o. y. , lis wa up this morning; I saw him In the hall." But Mr. Hill had temporarily re tired from public view. I was told that he would be down for lunch and Uifterward loaf about the grounds. That suited me. for I had teamed enough to know that If my card or letter went up to him that that would be tho end of my Interview. I b lleved that I would get a courteous refusal, hut would not even have the opportunity to look upon the distin guished guent. DKCIJNEH TO TALK POLITICS. While standing- near the foot of the Xalrwny, laying my plans, the Sage of Wolfert' Boost came down the stairway and I had to stand aside to let him pass, but he was so polite that t braced him und interviewed him on the spot. "la tbl Mr. JUIl. Mr. David Bennett Hill?" I akd. "Yes." was the reply, "Weil. ii,l have a letter for you, rid I shull ask you to read It right here." Mr. Hill took my letter and. af ter reading It. folded it up and put, it hi Inside coat pocket. "I do not care to be InUrrlewed. "Would you not ay a word about Judge Prker' speech In Charlotte?" "No, J do not want to appear to be Impolite, but I have declined to be In terviewed on any subject slnco I 'left New Tork,an4-.f Jmut. Adhere io that policy.

He leads y very quiet life at. the Ktrkwood. Some one has described him a a man without a wife, without a nee ana without , a oastlme. and that eeema to tit blm. He ha devoted his life to the study and practice of law and politics. Hi: Hours ton recre ation nave oeen out few and tar apart, and to-day, in hi advanced year, he w trying to divert himself. MB. HILL AS HE APPEARS. After lunch and rest he irot hi cane. which 1 nothing but a common hick ory suck, and strolled in the sun. He passed the Place where two net coon are keot and howtui h nu-n to nth Ana or them on the head. The coon seem ed to appreciate the attention and turned the other aide for a Btroke, Mr. Hill must have traveled 500 yards. altogether. The dre of the Sage of vvouerts oot la that of a nlain ousinms man. He wears a black coat. dark gray trousers and a brown crush hat. If he were to come to Char lotte and stroll about the streets almost anybody would take him for a well-to-do Providence townshlD Presbyte rian iaer or tne old school. The lit tie sldewhiskern that the ear-toona al way have are there, and the smooth head Mr. Hill has-been at Camden for six weeks and expects to remain here som time. The last thing that I saw of ntm wa late in the afternoon, and then he was walking on the portico of tne hotel with an attractive auburn- haired lady, whom I overheard say You don't mean It." Now as to what they were talking about I cannot say, but they seemed to be getting much pleasure out of the friendly chat and the brisk promenade. I have learned enough to pay me for my trip. Mr. win is not as 111 as he Is believed to be by some of the North ern papers. Unless a sudden change comes he is good for many years, and he may yet be able to muddy the water for New Tork Republicans. H. E. C. B. A BUSY PIACE. Large Quantities of Rock Being Shipped Daily From Sou t hern's Quarries In Rockingham Obtain ing I5Jght-f-Way for Caswell Electric Hoad. Special to The Observer. Keldsville, March 23 One of the busiest places to be found Is the Southern's quarry, located a few miles north of Reldsvlile. Large quantities of ballust are loaded on the train there dally and transported to points along the main line and to the spurs of double-tracks which are being con structed here and there over the Southern's lines. The track between Pelham and Danville has been in use for some time past and congestion has been greatly relieved, it is noticeable that, since a number of these spur tracks have been completed, the SAithern Is handling almost double its usual -number of trains. Ordinar ily it handled 26 and 30 trains on Its main line, whereas now there are 40 to 60 daily. As a result of the heavy business, however, its sidings at various points have been congested with cars. Almost every night trains are held all night long at about every side-track on this part of the road, because, it in said, thre Is no room for them in the yards at Spencer and other important centers. One reason for the great Increase In traffic. It s stated, is the activity and success of freight soliciting agents in New York and elsewhere who are securing bus iness for their road never before han dled. Solid trains pas hare, made up of car to distant Western points. carrying freight that has heretofore been routed over some other road. Employes of the road receive from 20 to 35 cents per hour for overtime, so it will be seen that holdbig these trains over at nigm amounts to con siderable to the Southern. Protracted services to continue for week, will begin at the First Pres byterian church next Sunday. Rev. F. Rankin, of Greensboro, will con duct the services. Mr. Rankin Is evangelist for Orange Presbytery. and will not disappoint those who wish to hear the gospel plainly and forcibly presented. Kev. W. K. Bradshaw. pastor of the First Baptist church, Is assisting In a series of revival meetings at Hazel! Street chapel this week. His sermons are able and heard by large congre gations. Mr. Robert Carter, son of Papt. J. H. Carter, of Mt. Airy, formerly of Reldsvlile, passed through to-day en route to Omaha, Nebraska, where h wlU play professional baseball this season. This Is Mr. Carter's fifth sea son with Omaha, which I In the Western league, and he returns to hi post of duty at a greatly Increas ed salary. Mr. James E. Amos has gone to Crlslleld, Md., In response to a mes sage notifying him of tho critical Ill ness of his wife, who Is there visit ing relatives. .Mrs. Rohert 8. Gallo way, after spending a few days here with her husband's relatives, return ed to her homo In Winston-Salum last evening. The commit tee appointed to compile Information on the route of the pro posed Caswell railroad of electric line met Tuesday afternoon and deckled to have Mr. J. A. Brackln, Sr., go down the lime and sign up rlghts-or-way for the route. Mr. Bracklln will be appointed a notary public at once and will start Monday to have the right- of-way signed up. When this work Is completed the committee will he ready .for a hiir meeting of all those who are Interested In the road. Prof. H. A. Hayes and Mr. J. V. Price filled their appointment at Lauder's school house Wednesday night, and were delighted with the result of the meeting. Several parties assured them, after their addresses, that they would no longer antagonize the good roads movement and they would help In the campaign by explaining to their neighbors what this move ment meant. Prof. Hayes is of the opinion that Oregon precinct will, by being properly looked after, give half of it vote to the measure. This has been regarded a the strongest hold of the antls In the county. The committee which went to Washington to arrange for a special train to take three or four hundred farmers to Mecklenburg to examine the macadam road of that county, returned to-day, but have not public ly announced the result of their trip. It Is safe to surmise, however, that the train will be secured. EEV. tn. A. IV PIERSOV 'COMING.
