Will Not Seek HomlnatUn far Office Attorney General Assigns His Reasons. The readers of tho Patriot will be Interested In learning that Mr. . J. JustIcrr"of this citv. speaker of the house of reDresentativee.has announced that he will not be e a candidate for the iuallou for attorney Democratic nom general, a position to which he" has been supposed to aspire. Mr. Justice announces his decision in a letter ad dressed to Mr. J. W. Pies, of Marion, a close personal and political friend, and says be believes he can be of more service to the Democratic party If he It not a candidate. An extract from bis Utter follows: "The considerations which have in fluenced mo to say that I would not become a candidate are that1 1 foresee that seeking the nomiuatlan would seriously interfere with my private practice, and if I were elected it would Involve financial sacrifices that I. can HI afford to make. Besides there Is no assurance that the office of assistant attorney general will be continued, and If It were not this would seriously in teiferewith carrvincrout mv Ideas of reform in the office. "There is another matter that ha had very great weight with me in com- lug to my conclusion, and that la that I want to be la, a position between now and the next general election to freely exprets my views about public quel tions and candidates, without the cm bsrrassment which I might be under if were a candidate for the nomination; and I detlre that it shall'not be Imput ed to me that my views are in any sense influenced by being a candidate. I have, as you may know, very decided convictions about public questions, which are strongly combatted by those whose interests I oppose, and I do not propose to sacrifice any of those views for policy, where principle Is involved. No man In this country, great or small, has opposed the criminal practice of he wealthy and powerful without be- ug misrepresented;-nydigned, and tra duced. I did not ex ect anything else, nd have not, therefore, been embit- ercd or surprised at the misrepresenta tions and unjust attacks that have been made upon me for the last two years, because of my stand In politics, but I eel that for a little while I would like to have a free hand and a fair fight against those representing special in- erests who have opposed me." BANK WILL LIQUIDATE. City national Going: Out of Business De positors Will Lose Nothing. The City National Bank has gone into voluntary liquidation, the officers assigniug as the cause the continued financial depression aud inability to collect outstanding notes. The bank has beeu closed since last Thursday aud is in charge of Mr. F. A. Hull, a national bank examiner, who is acting in the capacity of temporary receiver. The bank baa deposits amounting to $25-5,055 and. $105,683 In bills receivable, and it is apparent, therefore, that no depositor will lose a cent. A meeting of the stockholders was held yesterday afternoon, when arrangements were practically completed to have the af fairs liquidated through one of the strongest banks in Greensboro. To carry out this plan, it is necessary to secure the consent of the- comptroller of the currency and the ci editors of the bank, and no trouble is anticipated aloug this score. The suspension of the City National has created no excitement, forit is well understood that all deposits will be paid in full, the only delay being in perfecting arrangements for liquida tion. Many of the leading business men of thss city and section are con nected with the bank, the following gentlemen constituting, the board of directors: W. S. Thomson, president; W..C. Bam, C. H. Dorsett, J. A.v Hos kins, M. W. Thompson, J. Van liind ley, Lee H. Battle and G. A. G rims ley. Mr. Battle retired from the position of cashier a short time ago. ' Good Farm for Sale.

' ' - ' HO TED WRITER HERE. of Raj Stannard fcaker, National Character, Spends Day In Greensboro Greensboro last Saturday entertained a distinguished visitor in the person of Ray Stannard Baker, of New York, an editor and part owner of the American Magazine. Mr. Baker is one of the foremost writers of the preent day and has devoted much thought to the sub- jects affecting life in the South. Re cently he has written for his magazine a series of articles on the negro quea tion that have attracted wide atteution. Mr Baker is studying the negro question with regard to its political re- lationablp. He brings with him far more of impartial , and fair-spirited measuring than is usually allowed himself by the general investigator of "Southern conditions." This of itself means much. He has gone among the negroes all over the greater part of the South and begins to know what each division means in or out of practical citizenship. His stories as he has printed them have been characterized by a realism which .must follow close clean and intelligent application on a given subject and the most earnesV and meaning subject as it applies not alope to the South, but to be whole uation as well. ' The educational phase of the ques tion is the one on which Mr. Baker lays; the most strees. He has looked Into the matter frem that viewpoint specifically, and in a way this trip is a summing up of such findings. He is of the opinion that Mr. J. Y. Joyner, state superintendent of public instruc tion, is one of the most able men he knows with regard to hia position be fore the public. This is also in com parison with other state officers in like noftltioii. Ha onnkanf thnatnnri Mr. Joyuer faad ukeu before the whole country, and his efficiency which has' so vastly developed the state before the eyes of the world, and stressed the activity of his efforts through which"! 156 rural high schools had been estab lished since the appropriation from the last general assembly. - - "It is a matter of surprise to many people to most people" said Mr Baker, uthat today statistics prove tha rsorth Carolina is paying more taxes according to population, than is the state, of Massachusetts." He also referred forcibly to the fact that the people of this section are more clearly of the fine Anglo-Saxon type than any others in this part of the country. Mr. Baker went from Greensboro to Charlotte to meet, by appointment Mr. J. P. Caldwell, editor of the Char lotte Observer. He will continue his journey through South Carolina, Geor gia and other Southern states. RECEIVER TO BE NAPIEJ). foment cotton Mills Financially Embar rassed Well Equipped Plant. It is announced that application will be made to Judge Moore, in Mecklen fburg Superior court at Charlotte Fri day, for the appointment of a receiver for the Pomona cotton mills. The ap plication will be made in behalf of the Whitfa Machine Works, of Massachu setts, and thd Woonsocket Machine and Press Company, of Rhode Island, who bold claims against the company, for the installation of machinery, ag gregating $90,000. It is understood that the application will not be resisted and that a South Carolina man proba bly will be appointed receiver. The announcement that a receiver is to be asked for does not come as a sur prise, for the financial embarrassment of the corporation has been a matter of common knowledge for some time. The plant has been shut down for sev eral weeks, and a short time ago the hope was expressed that a re-organization could be effected without going through the proceedings incident to a receivership. Severahpf the ci editors will join with the holders of the common stock of the company in ah effort to annul the transaction whereby first mortgage bonds to the amount of $150,000 were sold and the proceeds turned .aver to the City National Bank the day before tbat institution wentpto voluntary liquidation. . Another deal whereby $15,000 of common stock held by the City National Bank was exchanged for an equal amount of preferred stock, may be resisted also. The Pomona mills are equipped with 20,000 Whitin spindles and a full com plement of other machinery for the manufacture of sheetings. The plant is new and splendidly equipped. Mr. Lee.Ht Battle, until recently cashier FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS. W. H. Rankin and Dr. Gordon mentioned as Candidates for the Nomination. It is understood that Mr. W. H. Rankin, ' of Brown Summit, who re cently returned to Guilford from Fay etteviiie, where be speut five years in business, will go before the Guilford county Democratic convention as a candidate for the nomination for regis ter of deeds. Mr. Rankin is a former member of the board of county com missioners and is held in high esteem by the people of Guilford generally. Another gentleman wbose name has been mentioned ,in connection with the nomination for register of deeds i Dr. J.'R. Gordon, one of Guil ford's representatives in the legislature and ahthor of the bill placing the county officers on a salary basis. The present widely known and pop ular incumbent of the office, Rev. A. G. Kirkman. has made no statement as to whether or not he will be . a can didate for a reuomination. Many peo ple have learned to look upon "Uncle Abe" as a fixture in the office of regis ter wf deeds. ' Tobacco Growers. Doubtless you have seen the card in the last issue of the Patriot signed by T. J. Penn and C. A. Bray, trying to explain to you why they do not attend sales at the Farmers warehouse "and never intend to so long asMorgan runs it." That is their privilege, and shall not attempt to have them change their decision, for Inave-oot. missed them in the least. I have been getting just as good prices with them away, and I am sure I have not lest half a dozen loads of tobacco by .their depriving me of their delightful pres ence. Thev sav thev do not like "Mor- gan's way of doing business." I should - V i think they would not, either, when they admit that I had tobacco too high, and they knew they had to pay full value if they bought on Morgan's warehouse floor. I am sure you far mers like that way of doing business, if Bray and Penn do not. This man Bray says he has unlim ited orders for tobacco: If that is true he must have a very limited price to pay for your tobaeco or he would not have left my sales on account of the prevailing high prices at my ware house. These two buyers say that "Morgan told them he had shipped some tobacco to Danville and made some money on it." That is true. No sooner than I found that our prices were not quite up to the Danville mar ket on certain grades I told these two buyers so, thinking they had the mar ket's interest at heart to the extent thev would -lend their assistance to ward advancing! price's without pro- test. But to my great surprise Bray aud Penn began to complain of "Mor- gan having prices too high and he hnnahr tnn mnoh tohacco" as thousrh I did not have the right to boost prices or buv. Still Bray and Penn say they can pay as much for tobacco as ant- " 1 ONE. IT that DS irue, way uiu mey - - . . . J r J A.

As to the prize house, I -r 1 1 1 I A, .-. am sure l wouja nave uui nine uac for it unless I bought more tobacco than Bray and Penn are buying, or could subrent a good portion of it for storiner furniture, as they are doiug. As to selling, tobacco to myself, you farmers would much prefer my selling itto myself at its value than to Bray and Penn at less than its value, ut course you would. A pretention counts for but little'. The last day Bray bought on my sale had about $1,100 worth of leaf on the flnnr. He boueht $11 worth. If tnat is competition it would be necessary to use a microscope in discovering it. . Now, farmer friends, I would dike to baWyour patrpnage, and with tne support of the buyers who buy,5 peri cent, or more of all tobacco that is now being sold in Greensboro,' I feel safe in saving: tnai no market can secure ior .
