The failure of the firm of leaf to bacco dealer of 8walin and Wiley In ' LHtriviHo, Involves ome of the tobacco men in this city In that they had cold some tobacco to this firm. The beav lobt s Ji rs oo this market to this firm were Messrs. W., T. Carrlngtoa and W. L. Umstead. Th0 well known buyers said this morning that the failure does not hurt them la the least In that the tubacco, which th( y sold the failed firm bad not been de livered.. The firm of Swaim and Wiley bad bargained with these gentlemen for the stock of tobacco that they bad bought last season, and though It seems the deal bad practically been made the final papers had not been signed and not a pound of tobacco , had been shipped to Danville. As soon as tt wax announced that the firm had failed many conflicting rumors spread over the streets and many placed the amount that Durham tobacco dealers would loss as high as 1100,000. Others said that nearly erery tubacco man la the city was mixed up, one way or" the other, la the affairs of the firm. The tobacconists, however", say. not so, and It seems taat Metar Carring ton and Umstead were the only men that had any dealings with the Dan tlll concern on a large scale, their laat year's ttock amounting to some thing like 130.000 or f 40,00 worth Of tobacco. It la gratifying to barn that there will be little Durham money tied up In the failure. The amount Involved In the failure is placed -by locsl men as high as a quarter of a million dollars. The firm has turned over to the creditors about a 1 100. WO worth of stock and machinery, and some thought that th'-y mtaht bo able to pay every dol lar of the Ilabllltloa. It seems that the failure of the firm was due to the prtasure of the creditor for the pay ment of old debts. tieswral Itoyates- Dwul. Oxford, Bept 23. Mr. J.

THE Csrtua's Popular Ctsiidate lo V i Foward 0 Is not Personally Bee lie Honor, But 111 Many Frlcut QUgtl. out" the State Are ikhind a' T Movement Which Bids Fair for Success. There is a movemoat on foot in this city to make Gen. Julian 8, Carr, democratic candidate for the legisla ture from this county, speaker of the next house. The friends of Mr. Carr have been thinking of this for some time, and in the last few "days Mr, B. O. Everett haa had the opportunity to sound some of the leadera of the party in several sections of the state, and be baa found them all favorable to honoring Mr. Carr In this way. Tbe people of Alamance would like to see the general In tbe speaker's chair, and Granville, after rotlng for her own candidate would, no doubt. favor tbe Durham man. But Gran ville .bad the honor laat and General Carr would, possibly In view of this fact, get the support of the county. And, of course, Durham would do all In Ha power to thus honor her can didate. Nothing could be more fitting than that the speakership should go to the Durham candidate. He la a state cltiten and one of the few wealthy men in' North Carolina, that has con sented to shoulder the legislative re sponsibilities', when, his county and state called on him. He has rrt only been loysl to this county and city and carried out patriotic schemes for her good, but lie Is a cltiier of tbe state In the largest sense of tbe word, and would get tbe support of the democrats la all sections of North Carolina. . His various manufacturing enter prises, his pbilanthroplea to churches. schools and other Institutions! his ability at a speaker, and his wide experience fa affairs have put him very close to the needs of the state and his occupancy of the speaker's chair would gratify many of the state noblest citizens. Hi work In the interest of the old Confederate soldiers, of which hand he la a mem ber, would a .so Wnd strength to his rar for tbe speakership. Ills candidacy for this honor is not of his own seeking any more than Is his candidacy of tbe legislature, which la one of those rsre case Ir thla day and time of the office seek ing the roan. . The speakership propo sition 1 promulgated by his friends end the general will possibly make no fight, but leave the whole matter in their willing handa. HISNIM. lW AM) COOLEY akkamjimi joint derate.

Doyle, secretary of the. civil service commission at Washing ton was a Durham visitor last night and this morning. Mr. Doyle has been In this part of the country for sometime and bis visit is mainly to explain to the postmasters and the subordinate . clerks tbe exact nature of the civil service law in regard to campaign contributions by the mem ber 'of the federal building. He attended the meeting of the postmasters In Winston-Salem a few days ago and In a speech before this convention took up this matter In full. No man to allowed to go Into the post- office building and solicit campaign contributions nor Is a postmaster al lowed to solicit money from the clerks for campaign purpose. . Mr. Doyle thought that the Y. M. a A, could do a great deal in helping a man prepare himself for the exami nations, and offered to send any liter ature or give any Information about the service that the department was able to give. The greatest demand In tbe departmental work In Washington just at present is for stenographers, and any one that can pass the exami nation is reasonably sure of an im mediate appointment' Mr. Doyle to one ot the most pleas ant representatives of the Federal department that has visited this part of the state.

Little Fannie Medlln, 12 year old, whose parents live near the car barn, on East Main street Is patiently and sweetHipIrltedly waiting for the white messenger upon the pale horse, who shall bear her hence .to the spirit world. She has tuberculosis of the spine and thigh, and tbe Cesh Is gradually falling away from these parts ot her anatomy, and It is now a mere question ot physical endurance as to how long $h will lire, and when tbe fatal disease will strike into tbe vital organs of tbe little sufferer. It is a pitiful and distressing case The parents are in very moderate cir cumstances, and are not able to give her the care and delicate attentions which should be given one In this child' condition, and they refrain from asking alma In little Fannies behalf. She wa placed in the hos pital for a while, but the devoted and tender mother w as not able to pay the expenses of trips there dally, so she walked back and forth. This waa too much ot a strain upon her, and with the re of two or three children, smaller, it was more than she could stand, and .physicians having - pro nounced the case hopeless, the moth er' desire to have her precious one near her was gratified, and Fannie wa taken home, where the little life, so full of promise, buovsncr and hope is day by day failing away. This little violet is withering, yet its sweet perfume is filling every heart that knows the clrrumstsnres with the spirit ot Christian love, at the beauty t its rnarmrg resignation, it is cno of tbe inert and most heart tlii ring cases thst ever camo under ttn observation of thla reporter.

SHORT OF UEN IN SOUTH LEE STITU E ITT Wiser Heads of G. A. R. Prevail , and Question Tabled Action Was Indefinitely Postponed at Last Session of Encampment Held at Atlantic City, Though Only After Some of the More ilot Headed Had Spoken. Atlantic City, K. J., Sept 24. After a. long warm debate the national en campment of the Grand Army of the Republic at its final session yesterday evening Indefinitely postponed action relative to the controversy over the placing of - the statue of Robert E. Lee In statuary hall of the Capitol at Washington. The vote was 133 to 102. ' ' The encampment rejected the pre position .recommending that congress be asked to grant each Union veteran of the civil war a pension of a dol lar a day for life hut endorsed the McComber bill now in congress relat ing to pension of widows. The question of the grand army' attitude on tbe Lee matter was one of the most important the encamp ment had to deal with in years. The conservative element controlled the encampment and won the day in ar gument that the bitterness engender ed In the civil war waa disappearing and that sectional hatred should not be revived; that action adverse to the Lee statue would do more harm than good, especially to the G. A. R. and last, but not least, that tbe state of Virginia nnder the act of congress of 1S64, bad tbe right to place in stat uary hall the Image ot any man from that state whose memory it chooses to perpetuate. . Some of the moat prominent men in the Grand Army organisation spoke with intense feeling. The matter came before the encampment through the presentation of a majority and minority report by the committee on resolutions. When the afternoon '. session con vene and it was teen that less than 250 f-epresentative were present out of over 800 in attendsnce Thursday. Ketchum endeavored to have the whole matter go over until next year on the ground that a vote taken to day would not express the sentiment of the entire membership ot the G. A. R. - - Torrance quickly agreed to this, but "the boys" on the floor who had come prepared for a flight wanted to have it and shouted down a motion to postpone. Chairman Torrance then read the Indiana resolution and reported that the committee recommended that It be rejected. Ketchum followed with the minority report recommending that the Indiana resolution be adopt ed. Feeling ran high and atone time a comrade was forced to. take his seat The, arguments were along tbe same lines as advanced by each side in the recent discussion throughout the country. The debate proceeded with spirit until there wss a loud demand for a vote. A motion was made that the whole subject be Indefinitely post poned. A rising rote was taken and tbe teller announced that the vote was 133 to 102 In favor of the- mo tion to postpone. . PRESIDENTS VISIT ENDED WILL LEAVE CIXCI.VXATI FOR WASIIIXGTOX TOMtiHT.'

Alilrkh Tariff Law Has Canned Xo End of Complications ' , and Fear Serious Consequences. Boston, Mass. J Sept. 24. Most of the Boston Importers' are s quite guarded In their statements relative, to new complication produced by the recent circular Issued to the tex tile exporters of Paris. Some of them are Inclined to the belief that the circular has been Issued under a mis conception of the customs regu lations. . . ; .'.-. .. "If It really means what it says, then it la not surprising that the Paris exporters are tip In arms," it was stated at one ot the big Wash ington street houses, "but this is what will happen. The exporters will be put to great additional ex pense in furnishing samples, and they will even it up by adding this expense to the cost of the goods, so that the American public will pay for ' It in the end " , , . Some of the Boston importer are ' decidedly outspoken In their 'lews ot the new customs regulations which have been Imposed upon the great European textile houses which export largely to the United States. They believe they will certainly lead to retaliation and accompanying In Jury to the commerce ot the United States. r "It does seem as though the gov ernment had gone craxr." said Mr. Charles McAleer, of the importlnz department of Jordan . Marsh and company. "I cannot see how retalia tion by the French government can be avoided. Tbe situation was aeute before, owing to the Injury wrought' by the tariff in France, aod the latest circulars issued to the foreign ex porter can hardly, be expected to do otherwise than precipitate retalia tion which we honed mlzht he avoid ed. Tffo cost to the Pari houses f furnishing a many specimens' of their goods as there are cities in the inited states m which the goods are to be placed on sale Is a matter of no small consequence. The new tariff baa caused no end of complication and trouble, and this last, I believe. will lead to something serious." . . "We have felt all along that the provisions of the circular which baa been sent to the' textile exporter ot Pari by the consul general relative to the submission ot sample were so Impracticable ' that they wouldn't work, even if tbe exporters submit ted to them gracefully," said a rep resentative of the Henry Selgel com pany. "This seem. to be just what has happened. It Is worse than use less of course, to load np the cus tom service with a lot ot regulv tions that cannot be enforced, tor foreign exporters and domestic Im porters are harrassed and embarrass ed enough at the best" - - t Broke np Brandy Still ,i Lenoir, Sept 28.-Saturday "'night.
