Speaker Clark and Secretary Bryan met at a private luncheon in Washing ton, shook hands and issued public statements declaring they had buried the hatchet and put the personalities of the Baltimore convention with the bygones.- The luncheon was arranged by Theodore A. Bell, chairman of the California delegation supporting Speaker Clark at Baltimore, and was given by Ira E. Bennett, editor of the Washington Post. v Secretary Bryan issued' the follow ing statement:' "My meeting with Mr. Clark lias served to clear up a misunderstand ing as to my. . exact position toward him at the Baltimore convention. I have tried to make it clear te Mr. Clark that I have always regarded and now regard him as a clean, pro gressive Democrt. If my language at Baltimore created any impression that I was charging Mr.'XUark with being in sympathy with any of the reactionary forces, I am glad of the opportunity to clear any such miscon ception of my words' and acts, for I did not intend to reflect, upon either the personal or political integrity of the Speaker. It is my earnest wish that there may be cordial co-operation between the State Department and the Speaker in carrying out the 'policies of, the administration." Then Speaker Clark made public the following: "It . is - beyond, the power of Colonel Bryan or any one else to correct the injustice that was done to me at Bal timore. The loss of the presidential nomination was a small thing as com pared to the injury done to my repu tation in the eyes of the world. . But now that Colonel Bryan, in his public statement, "has done what he can to 4 "move the injurious JSl were created by his Baltimore speeches I feel that we can all the oetter co- i operate for the good of the adminis- Dr. Reams and family lived in the tration. I can only repeat what I have ! same boarding house at which McCas publicly declaredtime and time again, ian resided. Taking her little son. tions must give way to the duty that all Democrats owe to our party and to our ! country.' JfO MORE OTERDRAFTS. The banks bf Hendersonville are giv ing notice in this issue of the Demo crat to the effect , that they will no longer carry overdrafts on their books, having decided that the .overdraft f ea ture is an ijnustlce to the stockholders depositors and the drawers themselves. Why doesn't Brother Hearst swim over to Japan and lick the whole na tion single-handed? v ifiTi Hendersonville people will be inter ested to learn, that Congressman J. Mr Gudger is - urging the treasury .depart ment to advertise for bids for. the erec tion of the ' proposed postoffice builds ing to be erected in this city on the corner of . Fourth avenue and Church street, as early as possible. ' V - As a partial result of these efforts,1 Jr- GudSer informs the Democrat, "I aave receivea aavices irom tne aepart ment that' the building is to bean up-to-date one ' in every particular ; -x that the working drawings are being taken upon approved sketches, and the esti mate for materials is now being con sidered." . '.. "' -; i ' With reference to the modern char acter of the" ' building In which Mr. Gudger is' greatly interested, he says: "The facing of the exterior walls from grade lo about one foot above the fir st floor I level . will be limestone or sandstone'; above this point will be fed brick with limestone or sandstone j trim. The lobby will have marble- and tertazzb " floor, marble wainscot and hardwood trim. : The remainder of the building will be fireproof con struction throughout" . Although Mr. Gudger is urging the earliest'posslble action in this matter it is - highly probable . that the new building will "not be completed before he experiences the pleasure, or dis pleasure as the case may be, of re commending the appointment of one ot. the several applicants for the posi tion of postmaster at the expiration of the commission of. Postmaster Brown low Jackson,, which expires about one year hence. . , ' A number of democratic applicants are. pressing ' their ! claims to the office and -are exerting themselves mightily for the sweet morsel of pie ?2,400 an nuaUrT Tliere is 'pleniy ; olf ' Qme for developments ' and each " of t the many movements being made by the ,offlce seekers is watched with untiring in terest. " . Tl BOYS SHOT While carelessly playing with a pis tol Sunday ; afternoon in the Tuxedo section, two boys about thirteen years old were accidentally shot. . Unless complications set in the wounds will not likely prove serious. Dr. A. B. Drafts and Dr. J. Frank Cranford attended the young men and addressed the wounds. The Capps rboy who was holding the gun, suffered a shot wound . in one hand and the same shot glazed the left side of the son of J. Im Pace. . . ' . Although , the wounds were not con sidered dangerous by the physicians they were quite painful and the young sters .were very much frightened over the accident.)
