Everyone, young and old, is wearing a happy leek of expectancy, and when "Billy" Murray and his future "champs" land In this burg they will receive a welcome such ss only could be given by Southern Pines.

These young ladles were notified of their appoint ment by Gen. A- B- Taylor. Quite a large number were selected, but these two were unanimously elected. Both the young ladles are of the oldest and best families of Virginia and have quite a Confederate distinc tion. Miss Sumter Is a daughter of the late TV'. C. Sumter, a prominent attorney of the. State. She Is an at tractive blonde of winning person ality. Miss McNeer Is a daughter of Capt. W. R- McNeer, a well-known tobacconist of Lynchburg. She Is a striking little brunette of charming personality and has hosts of friends here who congratulate her on this, the second high, distinction conferred upon her In the past year.

" - DETENUS BIS DEPARTMENT. Mr. iZ. I Shlpman, Commissioner of Labor; and Printing, Gives Ont a 'Statement In Which He Declares That His Department Was Mlarep- rewentex Heply Directed Prtocl pally to Remarks Attributed to Speaker, Grahanv Presents What He Says Are the Exact Facta, To the Editor of The Observer: Commissioner Shipman, of the D partment of Labor and Printing, has given out the following statement relating to the discussion of the bill to increase the salary of the head of his Department to (2. SCO, touching, especially., the- utterances of Mr, Graham;, of Granville: - . , The question of salary has been set-. tied, but I could sot maintain my self respect and allow the .misrepre sentations of the department to stand unchallenged. These misrepresenta tions, as reported in the papers, were so obviously untrue that I anticipated that the honorable , gentleman who had made them would himself be glad to make correction in a proper manner as soon as he was advised of his error, and so I promptly ad dressed a letter to pirn In which : pointed out the grossly lnaocurats statements made 'reflecting upon the department, but he seems willing to let them stand oa he made them. an Indictment against a department of an administration of which he Is himself a part. I am net concerned about any ex presslons of opinion In regard to the department made by Mr. Graham, but he is reported In the papers to have said, "replyinto the argument of Mr. Hayes, of Chatham, that the department saved so much to the State Iff the way of printing" that the printing for the State' for the past Several years, showing a large in crease eaoh year, beginning at $87, 180 for "several years ago," lncreas Ing each year until last year the bin was $104,000 That statement was somewhat effective, when made on tbs floor of the House, by a Dem ocrat. Just before a vote was to be taken on the bill, when no one on the floor had been furnished with ex act figures to refute It. And with the aid of twenty-five Republicans, Mr, uraham succeeded in taking away 1500 of the salary which the Gov ernor, the Senate and two of the com mittees of the House, which were ap pointed by the Speaker, had recom mended. Hut the unfairness of It can be seen without any very great diffi culty when It Is pointed out that Mr Graham added together the cost of the printing and the coat of the pa per for two years and gave them to the House and to the public as the cost of the printing alone for one year. The cost of the State's printing for the last six yesrs, as furnished Mr. Graham In writing to me, and as shown by the reports of the State Treasurer, is as follows: 1 903. printing, 126,105. GO, paper. 8, 929.43 1904, printing. t9.R44.97. 1906, printing, 813, 596.79. 18, printing. 89,666.11. 190T, printing. 816.008.42. 1908. printing. 124,400 89. paper, $30,918.78. 130,285 57. 139,10 79. 140,084.65, paper, paper. paper, paper, 310.061.04. It will not bo necessary to go Into details to convince any one that there has properly been a very large lo creaae In the quantity of the public printing through the last several yearn. The demands of all the depart ments increase with the Increased volume of business which they have to handle, while the number of de partments necessary to handle the public business has also been In creased. The price paid for the State print ing is a matter of challenge to any other system. The printing is given out to the lowest bidder by the Coun cil of State, and although given by contract to the lowest bidder, the quality of the -Jftate's printing is equal, if not actually superior, to that of the United States government or of any other State. The stock (paper) is bought always from the lowest bid der after considering propositions from the leading paper houses of the country. The bills for all paper used for the .last three years have been dis counted, as our records will show, thus bringing the cost of every item to its lowest possible figure. If Mr. Graham Is correctly report ed he also misquoted the references of the two last retiring Governors to this department. The opinion of the late Governor as expressed in his message to the present General Assembly Is as follows: 'The amount of useful work done by this bureau is little understood and appreciated. It Is the only depart ment that gathers statistics in regard to all our Industrial and agricultural pursuits, and when these statistics are published and sent broadcast over the country, they advertise our resources as can be done in no other w.'y. If 'Ms bureau had done nothing else but put the State printing on a cheaper and safer basis, this slone would have more than repaid the State for all moneys paid out in maintaining It. In transmitting his bl-ennlal mes sage to the General Assembly on Jan-. uary 6th, 1905, former Governor Ay- cock said: 'The work of this department (Bu reau of Labor and Printing) for the past two years has been mostly of a routine nature. The scope of its labor ought to be Increased until it shall be able to furnish for ready use informa tion on all subjects relating to capital and labor In the States." To go back beyond this for his "re tiring Governor," who he says ex pressed an opinion discrediting the department, would take us back to the days of Governor Russell, several years before I became connected with the department. For the further In formation of Mr. Graham, and others Interested, concerning the work of this department and the service It renders to the State, I have pleasnre In referring to page 90 ef the Dem ocratic Handbook for 1901 and also to page 88 Pocket Manual for 190. recently Issued by the North Caroli na Historical Commission. I take no. please 1b criticizing any member or any department of our administration, and the foregoing la given' for - the sole purpose of pre senting the exact facts after Mr. Graham has shown, by his silence for a week, that he does not wish to make them himself.
