Washington, Sept. 29.—The chair man of the Republican county com mittee of Randolph county appears to have been somewhat premature in holding an election to decide who shrrll lie postmaster at Ramseur, N. C. The Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Genera* says there is no intention of disturbing tin* present incumbent, as his record is good, his rating being given on files of tile department as “first rate," and ihe policy of the present administra tion being to continue fourth-class postmasters m office as long as there is nothing against them. Mr. Degraw said today that he knew nothing what ever of any contemplated change, cither at Ramseur or Roxboro, and he doubted if there was any ground for agitation for a change at either place. Officials connected with office of As sistant Attorney General Robb, say to day that they are absolutely without information as to whether nny of the men recently indicted at Greensboro would be tried at a:i early day. The impression seemed to prevail that des pite the array of eminent legal talent which has hee.i secured by the in dieted men, Mr. Holton will be able to irold his own with the evidence which he expects to he able to produce when the Federal court takes up these cases It was stated, however, that he would l»e left a free hand to go ahead or to demand assistance which would be furnished him by Assistant Attorney- General Robb. <»ne significant utter ance by an official- close to Mr. Robb was to the effect that news was likely to be plentiful in Greensboro next week.

Mm* Work of Mr. Small. i ion. John if. Small, who ha a been to New York thin week, put in another busy day here in looking after the in ti rests of his constituents as well as of Eastern North Carolina in general. He saw Colonel S. S. Leach, of the engineer corps, and arranged with him that the board of engineers, who have in hand the survey for the inland waterway on the eastern coast of North Carolina shall meet November 13 at Norfolk. Va., and thence pro ceed along the mute described in a former lotier. Mr. Small also went to see Secre tary Metcalf of the Department of Commerce and Labor in regard to the plans of Albert Ellis, of Boston, for the Diamond Shoals Lighthouse. Mr. Small feels that while the light house board itself is not at all in clined to favor the project and may even he expected to throw obstacles in the wvy of its accomplishment, yet Secretary Metcalf is th 9 ultimate authority to whom the plans will be referred, and he will not be prejudiced hv the former decisions of the light house engineers that the project to erect a lighthouse at Diamond Shoals is not feasible. Mr. Small feels that Secretary Metcalf will favor the scheme. The superintendent of city deliv ery wh.en asked by Mr. Small as to the prospects for city delivery' for Washington, N. C., stated that if the municipal authorities of that city complied the requirements as tc naming streets apd numbering houses, etc., people would not long he deprived of advantages of city delivery. 'I he matter is now in the hands of the inspector for that division. Appeal to Light House Hoard. Mr. Small also made another appeaj to the Light House Board for the establishment <>f beacon lights ai sev < ral points in the watevs of Eastern Carolina, and learned that while a number of the applications filed by lnm had received approval <fl the 1 oard, they could not now be estab lished because of lack of funds to meet the payment of lighthouse keep ers, appropriation for that purpose be ing insufficient. He has been most anxious to have a beacon light placed in tie- passage through Brand Island Shoals, Pamlico Sound, as such light would enable steamers between Bell -1 (ven and New Bern and Washington and New Bern to save at least two hours in time. Mr, Small says that none of waters of Eastern North Car olina are lighted as they should be for safe and rapid navigation and he will continue to urge that beacon lights be placed at various points as soon a-s appropriations can be obtained for paying keepers. Mr. Small is much pleased at tin Statement of some Philadelphia capi t; lists who. in speaking to him of the n cent disclosures of had management in the Equitable Life Insurance Com pany, of New York, said that the pro gress which North Carolina had made in the establishment of home life in surance companies was receiving very general notice, and they commended the policy' of her people in patronizing home companies, and thus keeping at home for investment .the money' The Only Newspaper in North Carolina That Has Over 10,000 Subscribers. a A AAA ■ The News and Observer. which companies like the Equitable had been piling up until they had be come unwieldy and subject to all sorts of extravagance.

LAWS SHAPED BY LIFE COMPANIES Pool Formed by a Colos sal Trio. THE OBJECT WAS THIS: To Look After Legislation Before the Various State Legislatures. Checks Paid Andrew Hamilton, Chief Member of the Legal Staff for This Combination. (By the Associated Press.) New Y'ork, Sept. 29.—When the leg islative committee on the insurance investigation adjourned totday until next Wednesday it concluded a week in which greater progress has been made than in any week since the in vestigation was begun. The testi mony of witnesses that have been called during the week has been re plete with sensations and that of to day was no exception to the rule. It was during the afternoon session today when Allied W. Manic, an au ditor of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, was called to the stand that it was disclosed that- Andrew Hamil ton, to whom President McCall, of the New York Life paid several chocks, the purpose of which the counsel for! the committee, Md. Hughes, has not yet brought to light was one of the chief members of the legal staff for these companies and was employed and received money for services from the Equitable. Mr. Maine told of the division of the country to be looked after by Mr. Hamilton, in conjunc tion with E. L. Short and W. P. Thummel. Witness presented vouch ers for moneys paid by ills company to All. Hamilton, and these showed that in the eightys from 1885 to 19903 the sum of $65,596 was paid to Mr. Hom i nun for legal services. Mr. Maine could not give* any details of the du ties performed by Mr. Hamilton nor of the committees he appeared be bore, beyond that fact Mr. Hamilton looked after legislative matters for all three companies in states west of the Ohio river. He was followed in the afternoon session by Edward I. Devlin, the real estate manager of the New York Lite for the United States and Canada. Mr. Devlin was called to testify as to the cost of the building in Paris. It was brought out that the Paris building was carried on the books of the com pany at a valuation of $1,102,604, wherets with the original cost and im provements on the building, actual money to the amount of $2,533,104 was paid, over one miUion being charged off the valuation on the books of the company. Mr. Delvin said the net income on the building to the New xoi k cite wvis one and one-half per cent, on the actual amount invested in the building, or between three and throe and a half per cent, on the amount at which the" building was carried on the hooks of the company. Scliifi’ in a Passion. The most important development of the day was the appearance on the stand of Jacob H. Schiff, head of the banking firm of Kuhn. Loeb & Com pany. Most of the time Mr. Schiff re chned leisurely in the chair on the witness stand, but as one point after another was brought out he grew ex cited and vigorously defended his at titure while a director of the Equitable Society and claimed his firm had acted in a conscientious manner in all its dealings with the society. At the conclusion of his testimony, .and before the committee could ad journ. Mr. Schiff asked to bp allowed to make a statement. He was permit ted, and lie stepped briskly forward on the platform toward a small tnblo and made an impassioned attack on the State Superintendent of Insurance and statements he hail made concern ing Kuhn, Loeb & Company during the investigation of the Equitible. Mr. Schiff emphasized h : s remarks with tappings on the table and frequently he raised his voice until it was almost a shout. During his testimony, too. Mr. Schiff made the 5 charge that the minutes of the famous committee regarding a certain meetnig were false. He later qualified this, however, by saying if the transaction under consideration, one in Union Pacific preferred, was actually made he did not hear it, though he was present at the meeting. Again during his testimony regard ing tiie power of the finance commit tee of the Equiiible Society, Nit - . Schiff was warm in his explanation, and said that the entire committee was at the mercy of one man. “It was all Hyde,” said Mr. Schiff, “all Hyde and Alexander. Mr. Hyde wrote the messages regarding the offers made by my firm for participation in syndicates, Mr. Hyde signed all the receipts, Mr. Hyde wrote all the let ters. . The vice of the entire insurance citmition." said Mr. Schiff, “lias Item irresponsible povt or." In the matter of the James Hyde syndicate Mr. Schiff hotly accused Mr. Hyde of trying to shield himself. He said the position of a director in the Equitable was tlifct of a negligible quantity and that the directors were mere figure heads. He said further that he had never asked any favors of the Equitable Socieety. ”1 have granted many favors," he said, "I have not done, as a director of the Equi table. a.ny wrong of commission. I may have done some omission. It is a case of hindsight and not one of fore- I sight. But my conscience fri es me of imy bond. I have been as good a di- I rector as l Knew how to be and 1 did I my duty.” FIVE TOJOTIING And the Carolina Kickers 'Were Five. The A. & M. Open With a Winning Streak. Yow! Yowl Wow! Wow! Hip! Hip!

(Special to News and Observer.) ' Dunn, X. C„ September 29. — W. M. Stephens was bound over to the Federal court here yesterday in two cases by United States Commis sioner J. J. Wilson for making and retailing liquor without government license. For the last few days there has been intense interest at Benson con cerning the liquor situation and cer tain indictments made during the last term of Johnston Superior court at Smith field last week. It seems that the blind tigers at Benson, (and they are numerous there if reports be true), became at variance on account of fierce competition and undertook to put each other out of the business. Several warrants were issued upon voluntary oaths and information was furnished to Solicitor Jones from which several indictments end true bills resulted. This started tne hall rolling and feeling increased with great rapidity. Those who furnished the information and made oath to the warrants were in turn indicted rnd warrants and indictments fol lowed each other until quite a num ber of the citizens of the place, in cluding some of high standing have become involved. But the most in teresting part is that when the fight l etween the blind tigers was at its most violent state, when the Watts law and the special act for Johnston were being freely used against each other, j the Federal . officers heard the noise and swooped down upon them and I captured several of the blind tigers for retailing without Federal license.

Ryals, a deputy sheriff of Banner township, was arrested and brought here yesterday before Com missioner Wilson on a charge of re tailing without license. The case was continued until October 3rd.

I very much regret that the ends of justice re quired the continuation of this case at this term, but as it seems that it could not be avoided. I trust the gen eral public will withhold its opinion until all the facts are brought to light, in order that no injustice may be done anyone. Everything will be done to probe this matter to the bottom, with due regard to the rights of parties accused as well as giving ample at tention to the unfortunate inmates in our State institutions.
