McCallum of Red Springs was appointed county audi tor to succeed the late A. T. Par mele by Judge C. C. Lyon at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. McCallum took the oath of office before Clerk, of the Court C. B. Skipper at once and will take over the duties of the office immediately. Judge Lyon made the appointment after hearing the claims of the va rious candidates presented by their friends. Othejs whose qualifications for the office were presented by their friends were R. H. Crichton, book keeper of the Lumberton, Dresden and Jennings Cotton Mills of Lumberton; L. B. Townsend, cashier of the Bank of McDonald; and W. H. Humphrey of Lumberton, former clerk of court. Some others had announced them selves, but their names were not pre sented to the judge, it is understood. Mr. McCallum is a young man, about 25 years old, son of Mr. A. D. McCallum, who lives near Red Springs. . He has been bookkeeper for the Bank of Red Springs and is said to be well qualified for the duties of this important office. There were many out-of-town peo ple here today to go before Judge Lyon in the interest of the various candidates. Many were here from Red Springs to present the claims of Mr. McCallum, who was not gener ally known as a candidate for the place until today. MULE CATCHES BIRD In His Tall, Too Of All Unlikely Places Sapsucker Victim of Pecu liar Accident. One does not hear every day of a mule catching a bird in the bushy part of his tail. Really, one does not. Mr. Robt. Carter, who lives on route 4 from Lumberton, was in town Fri day and he deposes and says that very thing happened at his farm that morning as he and his trusty mule were plowing along peaceful like and unsuspecting. They were moseying along down the row, Mr. Carter and the mule, when Zip! came a sapsucker and struck the mule's tail, bushy part, got tangled up in the hair and was held fast. The mule did not like such liberties being taken with him at all and started to raise no end of row about it. He struck the fastest gait any mule ever struck to a plough and switched his tail violently, determined ly, angrily, but all would not do; the bird was held fast. Finally Mr. Carter managed to quiet him long enough to remove the bird from his tail. And now Mr. Carter says he has the fastest mule at all, for that bird put a gait on the mule that was a caution. Mr. Carter says the days of the years of his life are three-score years, yet never before during all the days of those years has he seen the like of that. And he does not make any bones over saying that he might find it hard to believe if somebody else had told it. But it is so, nevertheless. More Tall Corn A Stalk 12 feet 4 Inches ' When a spirit of rivalry gets into corn there is no telling how high it will grow. Since mention was made in The Robesonian of Mr. CM. Ful ler's tall stalk, corn all over the coun ty has been doing some scandalous growing. Corn out in the country be hanged if any town corn could beat it, so the country corn got a hump on and wins. If this spirit of rivalry isn't stopped some country corn is going to grow high enough for the man in the moon to reach down com fortably and pull off the top ears. No stalk remains the champion long. A week ago today Mr. C. M. Fuller bragged about a stalk 8 ft.l 1-2 inches high. Last Wednesday that stalk was laid in the shade by a stalk M feet high which was brought to The Robesonian office by Mr. Geo. L. Thompson, raised on Mr. Thomp son's farm in Back Swamp township, by Mr. C. M. Bullard. And now this morning Mr. E. F. Prevatt, who lives on rural route No 3 from Lumberton, brings in a stalk that measures 12 feet 4 inches! NEXT! Entrance Examinations to A. and M. College. Entrance examinations to the A. and M.

San Francisco Dispatch, 21st. Charging that United States Attor ney General McKeynoIds had ordered what he-wnsidered "fatal delays" in the prosecution four men indicted by federal grand juries, United states District Attorney John L. McNab of this city, tendered his resignation by telegram to President Wilson last night with a request that it be accept ed by the same quick method of com munication. Mr. McNab made public today the text of his telegram to the President, together with a mes sage sent to the Attorney General. The telegraphic resignation to the President was as follows: "Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D. C, "I have the honor to tender my re signation as United States Attorney for the northern district of California to take effect immediately. I am or dered by Attorney General to post pone until autumn the trials of Mau ry Diggs and Drew Uaminetti, indict ed for a hideous crime which has shocked the moral sense of the people of California, and this after I had advised the Department of Justice that attempts had been made to cor rupt the government witnesses and friends of the defendants are publicly boasting that the wealth and political prominence of the defendants' will procure my hand to be stayed through lnnuence at wasnmgton. "On receipt of the Attorney Gen eral's telegram I -prepared my resig nation to take effect at the conclusion of the trial of the Western Fuel direc tors and the J. C. Stock Brokers cases, both of which I had instituted and which I wished to bring to a success ful conclusion. Before I could send my resignation I received another telegram from the Department, order ing me to postpone the case against certain defendants of the Western Fuel Company, and not to try them unless ordered by the Department. "In bitter humilfation of spirit I am compelled to acknowledge, what I have hitherto indignantly refused to believe, namely, that the Department of Justice is yielding to influence, which will cripple and destroy the use fulness of this office. I cannot consent to occupy this position as a mere auto maton and Jiave the guilt or innocence of rich and powerful defendants, that have been indicted by unbiased grand juries on overwhelming evidence de termined in Washington on represen tations on behalf of defendants with out notice to me. "I am unable to convey to the De partment the understanding of the serious situation in which this action will leave this office. If the Depart ment in future has to review the find ings of grand juries and nullify their indictments, then this office might as well be abolished for its functions will have ceased to exist. "Neither can my sense of public duty permit me thus to destroy the prestige of this office. "With profound respect and regret that such a step is necessary, I have the honor in view of my absolute ina bility to agree with the Department to ask, that I be, by wire, immediate ly relieved from duty in order that the Department of Justice may be permitted to carry out its policy in these cases without future obstruc tion by me. (Signed) "JOHN L. M'NAB." The message to Attorney-General McReynolds is similar in import. Robert Bruce and Sidney V. Smith of San Francisco, are the Western r uel Company directors whom Dis trict Attorney McNab sought to bring to trial without delay. They and others of the Western Fuel Company are charged with having defrauded the government of hundreds of thus ands of dollars of customs duties on imported coal, through a conspiracy entered into with steamship and cus toms officials by which weight records were falsified. Resignation Will Be Promptly Accept ed. Washington Dispatch 22nd. The resignation of United States Attorney John L. McNab of San Francisco, wired yesterday to Presi dent Wilson with sensational charges that Attorney General McReynolds had directed delays that threatened to defeat justice in certain criminal pros ecution will be accepted promptly. That was the only information from the White House on the situation. The cases ore those of Maury I. Diggs and Drew C. Caminetti of San FranciSco indicted under the white slave law; and officials of the Western Fuel Company indicted for conspiracy to defraud the customs. Caminetti is a son of Anthony Caminetti, recent ly appointed Commissioner General of Immigration. McNab, a Republican holding over from the last Administration, charg ed that "rich and powerful" influences were working to defeat the prosecu tion. Attorney General McReynolds was willing to say this much: "There is every intention of prose cuting all those cases. They will be taken care of in due time by capable officials, Njjirterest yill suffer by the postponement." The Attorney General intimated he might issue a formal statement later. Dr. Wm. B. Mayo, p'ne of the wel known Mayo brothers of Rochester, Minn., declared that cancer of the stomach is a curable disease at the meeting of the American Medical As- 5ocia"ujju : : xt: I, .. i Mule Thief Gets 7 Months on Two Charges and Bound to Court on An other Retailer Gets 9 Months Several Cases From St. Paul This Afternoon.

Page went to a colored church near St. Paul's yesterday afternoon to hold inquest over the body of Richard McMillan, colored, who was drowned in Lumber river Saturday, loui play being suspected, but no evidence sufficient to cause an arrest came out at the inquest. McMillan and another negro, Phil Brown, both of Boardman, went fishing Saturday and Brown reported when he return ed to Boardman that McMillan had been drowned.

He went to McDonald for the prisoner and Taylor was plac ed in jail about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, - Love wag taken Saturday afternoon to Chadbourn for treatment and while he is seriously shot it is thought that he has a chance to recov er. It i3 understood that the trouble all grew out of Love's .being too inti mate with Taylor's wife. Hon. G. B. Patterson and Mai A. J. McKinnon are amone- the vis- . . . - irom Maxton. Mule Hems Mr. Lawrence Smith Be twixt and Between and Artistically Trims an Aural Affix. Upper half of right ear clipped off as neatly and artistically, albeit dev ilishly and with malice aforethought, by a mule of hitherto loving and kind disposition. That was the experience of Mr. Lawrence Smith, who lives on Messrs. White & Gough's farm 3 miles from town on the Fairmont road, Back Swamp township (known as the E. S. Wishart place), last Wednesday. Mr. Smith was trying to get held of the mule's bridle and in playing for position the mule got Mr. Smith hemmed up between his (tho mule s) business end and a tall fence. There was no escape for Mr. Smith. Therfc was the latter end of the mule in front and the fence behind, and be fore he could escape over the fenca the mule, with unholy joy on his in sides, deliberately proceeded to trim Mr. Smith. He let fly a hind foot and clipped off as smoothe as smoothe the upper half of Mr. Smith's right ear. No doubt, this was according to a deep-laid plot of the mule some mules will treat you kindly for 20 years, you know, just to get a chance to kill you and doubtless he intend ed to trim Mr. Smith in style torture hinv after the manner of the Indian of old trim first one ear and then another, one arm and then the other, and so on, until the job was complete and the mule's cup of joy running over." But he has to defer the rest of the job until the next op portunity. Mr. A. E. White, one of the owner1) of the farm, went out as soon as he was notified. They had not found the missing half of the ear when Mr. White got there, but Mr. White, After finding out where the mule wan standing when he kicked, and where Mr. Smith was standing when the operation was performed, soon located the ear some 15 feet behind where Mr. Smith was standing, over the fence. Dr. N. A. Thompson sewed the piece on and maybe it will stay. Maybe not. But there is not any maybeso about the statement that Mr. Smith is going to stay away from the business end of a mule forever and a day. . BLOW PROVES FATAL. Negro Struck With Iron Pipe on Head at Mr. Zion Church on 151 h Died Following Wednesday Night Coroner's Inquest. Coroner G. E. Rancke and Sheriff R. E. Lewis went to Wakulla, Smith'r township, Thursday afternoon to hold inquest over the body of Geo. McNair, coiored, who diad Wednesday night from the effects of a blow from an iron pipe, inflicted, said the coroner's jury for its verdict, by Jno. Monroe, also colored. According to evidence before the iury Monroe struck Mc Nair with the pipe after services at Mt. Zion church on the 15th. Mon roe escaped. It did not come out at the inquest, but it is reported that McNair, some time prior to the diffi culty at the church, had taken Mon roe's clothes and hat off him when he met him in the road, and made him go home without them, and that McNair came to church on the 15th with Monroe's hat on. Superior Court Adjourns Very Lit tle Done. A week's term of Superior Court, Judge G. S. Ferguson presiding, ad journed Saturday. During the entire week only one. case, divorce, was dis posed of by a jury. As stated in Thursday's Robesonian, the case of the Butters Lumber Co. vs. Tbs. Walters occupied the time of the court until Thursday morning, when a mistrial was ordered. The case of Tobias Hunt vs. L. Z. Hedgpeth, a land suit, was expected to occupy the time of the court the balance of the week, and many witnesses came to court Friday, but this, on account of the fact that Mr. R. C. Lawrence, leading attorney for the plaintiff, had to go to Florida on business, was re ferred to Mr. Chas. G. Rose of Fay etteville for hearing here Thursday. A number of final judgments were sign ed and many cases were continued. Mr. Crichton Resigns Position in Mill Office. . Mr. R. H.

That is, he will be with Mr. Fuller in case he does not get the appointment as county audi tor, for which office he is a candidate. It will be seen from the above, how ever, that Mr. Crichton resigned the position he now holds before the va cancy occurred in the county audi tor's office.
