" : , . . v . , . ...... r Washington, Jan. 29. Senator Pritcbard's ' bill creating the . Southern Appalachian Forest Reserve wa today unanimously reported favorably. It " appropriates $5,000,000 for the purchase of 200,000,000. acres of landin th Appa lachian mountains, within a number of states, including North Carolina. ' Special to the Gazette.- ' Washington, Jen. 29 Senator Pritch- ard today spoke before the for r, " sar;T .Tf weaner signal ta est reserve committee in behalf of his ; tion at Asheville. , Appalachian National park bill. It was unanimously agreed by the members port on the bill and senator Pritchard ! will now make . every effort to get an early consideratiooi of the bill by the senate. This is an encouraging step for the friends of the park. j Congressman !Blac-burn today au thorized a statement that he would rec ommend John M. Mull for postmaster at Morganton to succeed Dv. C. Pearson It is understood that Senator Pritchard will not interfere in this recommenda tion, which indicates that Pearson will soon have to go. Collector Harkins today had an ex tended talk with Commissioner, of In ternal Revenue Yerkes concerning the affairs of his district and offlcei It is understood that there will be a con siderable reorganization in Collector Harkins' office at an early date .J. Wiley Shook, It is said, will again, be assigned to work In the field, while J. G-. Grant, who has. for several months held the position of field deputy, will again be 'assigned to clericaL work in the office. Uncle Sam has not altogether smiled with favor on Col. hook's cler ical efforts. Not that there is any fail ure to balance when hisr reports are submitted to the department at the end of each month, but some slight excep tion has been taken to the mode of procedure in bringing about the bal ance. The complaint is that the colonel writes too much like he talks bold and f tee, with a superfluity of Ink, where in cnyersatioix It: wo.uld be- a superflu ity of adjectives.' This is apt to Tdc cur when a person has the mind con centrated on results instead of on the manner of obtaining them, but the gov ernment is not satisfied with results, no matter how correct they may be. To meet the unqualified approval of the inspector the books must bear the evi dences of having been handled, by one who writes a good hand, and handled with great care and deliberation. Sit ting still is not in Colonel Shook'S. fine, but the department Is fond of him and will let him have the field at the same salary so he may enjoy a greater de gree of liberty of action. Oon-gTessan, Lattimer of South Caro lina said yesterday that the department had ordered all (the agents of rural free delivery now in the field to report here for consultation'. The department is also arranging to materially . increase the agents' force as senators and con gressmen are constantly complaining that their interests are being neglected because of the fact that the services of an agent cannot be secured. From the beginning the force has been inade quate to meet the demand.
