There are many pages of then sort ; of detail, the report finally winding up with a rec .mmendallon to the effect that the HOO.000 worth of - - claims now belilg held up be con tinued suspended, the bills of the Just claimants along with the other, and the whole mailer referred to the next Legislature with the auggetlon that that body appoint a board of expert acroinitanl to nviM the varlou claim in detail. nl y what khould be ual.l fnd what not.

Surprise at the Failure to Itenoml- nau- Him Has Given Knilnent Sat- Isfacllon. To th KJItor of The Observer: Why Judge Shaw waa not renomi nated Is a utlon (he people have been nuking not out of Idle curiosi ty, but In profound seriousness. He luis 'given eminent satisfaction to tbe la -abiding, right-thinking cltlxen of our rllntu. Was It burs use he did not hustle for the plane? That was tieiieath the dignity of the place and the man. Was It because tho element who oppose the fair, honest uphold ing of the law predominated In the convention'.' Thea we have fallen up on nn evil day Indeed. These are m-rlqnt questions thinking men are asking, linn conclusion of a recent r ut respondent of your excellent paper 1 must deny: "The high-toned Ideals of Judge Shsw are out of place In the l a cut let h century," A large element of Die people In our Slate stand for Just what Judge Shaw stands for. One thing Is certain he has mixed a standard of fulr tiess, firmness and Justice that his successor must measure up to or suffer woefully In the contrast. Thus It Is with right slway. Do your duty and l hough you may seem to fall, yet In doing one's duty conscientious ly we raise the standard, and other men must measure up to It or suffer. For twenty years I huve known Judge Shaw a pure, true. Christian gentleman. He hss done his State a service she will not forget. May his kind be rapidly multiplied. I do not Intend by the above to re flect In any way up Judge "haw's successor. 1 do not know the gentle man. I simply want lo commend a pure good man. J AH! If FIHZF.LLK. Sanford, June 1I0.

A serious acci dent occurred at the Southern yards last night when Robert Fink, a young white man employed at tho Cannon Mills, fell from a flat car of a mov ing train and had his left arm cut on, his leg broken and several Inju ries about tha head. The freight was getting off the main line for No. 12, tho northbound local passenger. Fink was sitting on the car when it gave a lunge and he fell between tho cars.

Cabarrus Republicans are watch' Ing the political tide with keen In terest. Postmaster Patterson's term expires to-morrow and his berth Is sought by more than one active Re publican, all of whom have their po litical fate cast with the kite of high flyers who seek to dominate and have a hand In the control of ( patronage for the State. Onlookers' who are not supposed to know the Inner work Ings and to be on to all the curves of the political twtrlers freely acknowl edge that they are lost In the specu lation. About the time they get th.i thing worked out a new condition an es that might put their calculations to the bad, and the stock of the other fellow rises tanexpectedly. if the court house bell had been tolled dur ing the convention of yesterday one could easily Imagine It striking a hid den note with an echo at the post office building, for there after all lay the kernel. A knowing one says tnst Blackburn will ask fur Mr. Pat terson's re-appolntment. Another says that no change will be made until af ter the State convention, when .Vdams will go In as chairman and soon after Sims goes in as Concord's postmaster. Falling on .Patterson, Blackburn l. supposed to turn to a friend of the present postmaster, withal a Black burn msn. All can agree that the io lutlon of the matter depend alto gether on the relations between Black burn and the President, how far the congressman can go, fur he Is unal terably opposed to all comers who have In days gone by been anti-Black burn. Though the He, without frills or apology, was passed yesterday, the convention adjourned In the spirit of "Ood Be With You 'Till We Meet Again," after an apology had come from the one who provoked the He.

Simmons and Mr. Simmons and his associates now owning the stock of the company are going to discontinue the firm and business and will go to Salisbury to do business, not, however, under the old firm name and oerporatlon. Mr. Simmons says that they hope and expect to be In the new horn by early fall. Mr. John O. Ureen, a popular young druggist manager of the Pet ser Dreg Company, Is to be married July II to Miss Sara Esca Ashcraft, of Marshvllle. Cards announcing this marriage have Just been received In this city. Services at tha German Reformed church are being held this week to continue through the week, two ser vices dally.

W, Scar borough, of Murfreesboro; Rev. W. C. Barrett, of Durham, and Rev. C. D. Graves, of Wadesbnro. The noon address by Dr. R. T.

Meesra, IL C. Wilson, r. L. Page and. C. M. Steele, tbe committee serif to Charlotte and other point to Investigate tho' ad vantages of electric power over steam power, returned Friday and reported to a meeting of the business men of Statesville the same evening. Tbe re port waa a very encouraging one, Tbere waa no division on the ad vantages of the electric power. The committee was unanimous in the opinion that the town should by all means make an effort to obtain pow er; that In the establishment of a new Industry the saving In electrlo power over steam Is very great; that the development of new Industries where electric power may be obtained will be greatly facilitated. The only matter that admits of any argument was whether the plant already equip ped with ateam could afford to throw away the ateam plant and put In elec tricity. The opinion was that there would be too loss in any case In do ing thla and ultimately there would be gain. A committee was appointed to solicit among the manufactories and determine the exact amount of electrlo power each wonld use. It la thought enough horse-power can be obtained here to Insure the build ing of the line. The Republican county convention met here yesterday In the court house at II o'clock and although the at tendance of delegates was not large, all the precincts were represented. E. Spencer Blackburn waa unanimously endorsed for renominatlon to Con gress and the delegates to the State convention were Instructed to vote for him for chairman of the com mittee. A full ticket for the county was put out and Judge D. M. Fur ches was nominated for the State Sen ate. A resolution endorsing Presi dent Roosevelt's administration and giving the President credit for all the prosperity was passed. No other busi ness of importance was transacted. About ten years ago the Iredell county bonds issued for the construc tion of the Atlantic, Tennessee ft Ohio Railroad, from Charlotte to States ville, were called In and paid. It is the recollection that alt of the bonds were paid except two, which never came in. Friday Capt. P. C. Carl ton spent the day at Mr. A. P. Clark's, on the river. Mr. Clark was showing Capt. Carlton some Confederate money and other relics, when the captain found what he la sure are the two missing bonds. Mr. Clark had paid not attention to the old papers, sup posing they were Confederate bonds. The bonds are for $1,000 each and If Capt. Carlton's surmise Is correct, the bonds and accumulated Interest are Mr. Geo. H. Brown, who went to Washington Thursday night, return' ed Sunday "morning. Mr. Brown's nomination as collector of Internal revenue for this district wss con firmed Saturday. The transfer of the offlce will hardly be made by July 1st. as the preliminaries to making the change will likely consume some days. In regards to the offlce re malnlng in Ashevllle, Mr. Brown says nothing along that line was mentioned to him by the President or any of the revenue officials. Thla means that the location of the offlce Is by no means settled, the Ashevllle reports to the contrary notwithstanding.

The 'Stories told about the work of the recent hall storm here are not all in. Dr. Battle tells that one of the larger hall stones struck a turkey of hla and killed it dead. The head of the unfortunate domestic fowl was mashed flat and the turkey never kicked. One lady says that her chil dren had their croquet balls on the wood shed and when they saw the hail falling in blocks about three Inches In diameter, they said, "Look, mama. It Is raining croquet balls." E. B. Fuller, a negro preacher, who was tried In the Superior Court last week on the charge of not pro viding for the support of his wife, wottled up the affair yesterday. He had hardly done so when he was ar rested on another charge, that of soliciting Insurance without license. The arrest was made by ex-Chief of Police Will Scott Ed Byers, a negro, supposed to be a deserter from the United States army, was arrested, yesterday atter noon on a warrant charging him with contempt of court. He was summoned to appear as a witness In court here In a retailing case, and because he was a deserter did not appear. Jack Jackson, a white man, was arrested some days ago and fined IS and costs for beating his way on the train. He at 'first said he would not oar the fine, but later he reconsidered and paid It. He was released from custody to-day. TO COME HOME A BRIDE. Mlsa Mary Rore't of Concord, Sur priace Her Father With the Announce- mrnt'A visitor rroiu jrnauna. Special to Tha Observer.
