Hon. 3: Will Roberts, the ex-legislator of "Madison county, and who has re cently spent a few days in Washington, has some mature congressional aspira tions. He befieves he can go to con gress from the Ninth district regardless of any gerrymandering scheme the democrats may formulate and put tn 'to practice. Mr. Roberts has returned to his home and wiH 4mmedatel begin to rope ito the wires. Should she suc ceed, a universal' and deep feeling' of Security will pervade business! circles. Mr. Roberts would doubtless assume the leadership on the republican side, and as Rosooe Conkllng would remark, tna gallleries would have a vociferous and hilraliauia old time when ' he - and Mr. Bailey came - to cross colloquial swards. There is good reason to beMeve that John Hart, formerly of AshevMe, wlH get the postmasterahiip at Spartanburg. It is said at the postofflce department that there is a rather queer situation with reference to the contest over the Spartanburg office. There are several applicants, all considered good men, and no one applicant ha said aught against the other. Mr. Hart at one time conducted a large machine shop in Ashevdlfle. I There isai quiet but -persistent Under current rumor to the effect that steps fcave beten 'taken to remove District At torney Bernard.

POST OFFICE BILL HUNG UP IN HOUSE Metropolitan Appropriation Voted Down-Bill Still Pending; WasMngton, Jan. 19. The refusal of the houee today tOtake up the Bfbwn Swan son contested election case from the Fifth, district of Virginia necessitat ed a premature consideration of the postofflce appropriation bill and the ses sion was devoted to that measure. It went ithrough tine committee of the whole practically as it came from the special committee. An item appropriat ing $171,000 for expediting the mails frdm New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Orleans was stricken but by a large vote.. ' When the biffl reached the house a motion to recommit was made with Instructions to omit "newly acquired territory" from the operation of the bill.

There are many rumors in circuteitJon Ih-ere that Secre tary Alger is about to -leave the Cabi net. In some circles it is positively de clared that the resignation "has been handed to president M'Klnley, to Ibake effect when the army investigation com mission makes its reoort. It is admirtted in the best informed circles ithat the secretary of war is dis pleased greatly oyer, the decision to have Commisary-General Bagan court mar tial ed, but, while making this admission, these people say that Mr. Alger is going tto bury his pride and stay in 'the cabinet umitil he has evened all scores against his dearest enemy, Nelson A. Miles. There is.no doubt that before US Eagan court-martian fairly is begun the jsecre Ftary will make an attempt to involve General Miles. All the other members of the cabinet claim that they have heard nothing of the rumored resignation or of any inten tion on the part of Mr. Alger to resign. mm ui Tan Shoes, RGINIA m0mm - Complete stock; of Ladies' , 3 TanXace Shoes at popular 3 prices, 3 $2.00 $2.50 and $300 a Pair.

The legislaltuTO nas received many compliments on the per- ekmnel of its menxbers, and. I heard the fiTst riticlsmyesterday. It was by an Afthevilie man. He said: "This legia Bature a nerveJess body; it fears pop- fn opinson and ia always considering wnat the people wll say. It hesitates Swulfc taking tmportant action."

Mr. Leather wood is a hard worker, and aH7 though ia new member Obtained fQr a constituent, Mr. J. H. Elmore, of Swain, the best legislative office en grossing cliark.. i Candidates for superintendent of the penitentiary must wait patiently until something turns up. No one 3s push ing measures to oust Captain ray, al though Speaker: Connor is, it Hs said, preparing a bill too remove the captain. It wfU be a satisfaction to candidates to know this for when Judge Connor is satisfied with a measure Captain:. Day will be oult for good. There is the same state of affairs in regard to rthle railroad commissioners. Their removal and the election of new officers is only a matter of tline, however. The republican are few and wily, so they linanaged to hoJd a. meetlntg- Tues day night without attracting attention. They say the governor was not there. Neither was Colonel "V. S. Lusk. It was a "family reunion," the republicans say. The. suggestion! iq the Gazette thalt Colonel1 Lusk has injected courage into the governor wag verified by Gov ernor Russell's reconsideration' of has intention that he would appoint the democratic caucus nominees judges and solicitors. "Reconsideration" lis the propel expreeBion because the three members of the caucus steering com- ! - miittee who saw the governor were sat isfied from what he said that he would appoint democrats as the court officers and lit was on this belief and this only that t'iey called the caucus. - The 'statue In front Of the ' capltol, which ; represents George Washington bareheaded, annoys every legislator. The members think the great man should not be bareheaded. The members iProm the Atlantic sea board are assailing the legislature Witk bills to erect lighthouses at Old Topsail inlet and Ohunckamuck sound, to reg ulate1 fishing with seines, .Dutch nets, etc. J. Frank Ray's committee on prop ositions and grievances is a very gen eral sort of committee; in fact," using the expression rteapectfully, It is a sort of "hotch potch" cpmm'MJtee. It con siders all kinds of bffls, charters, pen sion daims dispensary, and It gets meet of the resolutions. The Winston bill to submit a consti tutional amendment on the subject of suffrage, based on the Louisiana law, hes been1 placed ftn charge of two of the most capable members of the commit tee on constatuitional amendments. It is probable that at will be made shorter, but not materially changed. Representative Josh Curtis believes in pushing his bills from the day of their introduction'. He etees that they Teach the committee and then he presents his case,, gets the bills back- before the house, and- (has succeeded in getting the house to pass them. The aegfettature &nd outside parties' in attendance seem not tot appreciate its importance, not to. realize that it opens (Che way for the easy election of two United States senators, . 'a governor, state official and other valuable of fices. There are those who do, however. The members are not overconfident of success two years from now,, although they have the power to pass an elec tion daw and submit an amendment which wdM remove a great part of the republican party.
