MOT HVRRVINO, The People or McDowell Tlilnk Collector Ellas Slow. "Our people seem to think," says the Marion correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, "that Mr. Hlias, the collector, is slow in getting rid of the Republican storekeepers and gaugers, but I guess he is simply trying to decide who arc the best men to fill their places from the large number of applications on file in his office. So far our county has received only three appointments." Collector Klias is making no appoint ments without first learning something of the men who apply for positions. He told a visitor from Marion yesterday that he proposed to make no appoint ments hurriedly and that before appoint ments are made he wants to be sure that the applicants are worthy and of such character as will give tone to the service. When the Collector shoves his feet under his desk these mornings he usually finds a stack of applications half a foot high. lie is also constantly in receipt of telegrams and letters congratulating him on his appointment of good men to positions.in the service. One letter re ceived yesterday was from Kak-igh, and the writer thanked the Collector for his prompt attention to some matter of bus- ucss, auaing mat me writer naa been trying without avail for two years to ave the matter adjusted. Collector Jblias expects to have a batch f appointments ready for tomorrow. MURDOCH WAIXCi:. Wedding Hells at "Wallace Farm" Last Eveulun.
