The Graham Postmastership.
The long drawn out fight over
the postmastership at Graham
has been settled at last. Mr.
Heenan Hughes a prominent cit
izen of that place was appointed
several weeks ago, and the ap
pointment was confirmed by the
United States Senate last week,
and Mr. Hughes will take charge
of the office as soon as liis bqnd
is accepted and the commission
is issued. Mr. Hughes is one of
the countys’ progressive young
business men, and is a power to
be reckoned with in the councils
of his party.
Mr. W. H. Holt, the retirmg
IX)stmaster has held the office for
about 14 years and made our sis
ter city an efficient' official. He
made a valiant fight for re-ap
pointment, He is a good citizen
and a high toned gentleman. The
fight for the office was a hard
fought battle, while it was a bat
tle royal, yet so far as we know
it was a friendly one, infact we
might say it was a family affair.
Mr. Hughes, the newly appointed
postmaster is a son-in-law of Mr.
Holt, the retiring postmaster.

won the amateur furlong Champ

at the Olympic Games in London.
He remained in England to meet

amateur furlong championship
of the world. Postle, a profess

feated all opponents in Australia:
had maintained his supremacy at
the 220 in. South Africa, and had
made a clean sweep .of Great
Britain. Postle held the world’s
professional title; Cartmell, the
world’s amateur title. Cartmell
challenged Postle who forthwith
accepted. The international riv
als for an undisputed world’s
title went into severe training
with the result that Cartmell un
heralded by the press and with
odds against him defeated the
mighty Postle and today holds
the dual title of the amateur and
professional championships of the
world. His time for the furlong
on a heavy track amid falling
snow was twenty-one and onfe-
half seconds which is one-half a
second less than the world’s re

will sail from Liverpool January

a Classification of the Com
pensation of Census
Takers.
Washington, Jan 22nd, —The
varying wage scales in different
parts of the country and the dif
ferences in the nature and extent
of the local difficulties confront
ing the enumerators in the larger
geographical divisions of the
linited States have influenced and,
guided United States Census Di
rector Durand in the adoption of
a classification of enumerators’
rates of compensation, within the
limits prescribed by the United
States Census law enacted Con
gress.
The different classes of rates
will be so applied that in general
the average enumerator will earn
substantially she same actual
amount in one district as in an
other, even though the population
may be much scarser in one than
in the other, with other conditions
also different. Regard is paid to
the fact that prevailing wages
and salaries are higher in some
jarts of the country than in ot-
lers, but, asid6 from this, the
Director’s aim is to adjust the
rates so as to make the earnings
of enumerators substantially uni
form, Where the per cpita rates
would not give sufficient pay, the
per diem rates are prescribed.
The rsates in general will be so
adjusted as to give a slightly
higher average amount to the
enumerators than they received
in 1900.
Per diem rates of pay will be
paid'to the census tenumerator
in ;,the sparselys settled rural
districts of Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Texas,
U ivi.h, Washington and Wyoming.
The rate will rang:e from $5 to
$6 per day for the enumerationi
of the rural areas outside of cities
and townSi Six (''dolla^rs is the
highest riate authoriz€^ by lawv
The Director realizes that in
many districts of the far West it
will be impossible to secure com
petent men to act as enumerators
at a rate of compensation less
than that being paid for ordinary
classes of work in the same area.
Where enumerators in such dis
tricts paid only on the per capita
basis, their compensation would
be unreasonably low.
The enumerator in the thinly
inhabited country sections of
North Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas also will be compensated
on a per diem basis. Certain
difficult or sparsely settled enu
meration districts in other states
will be included among those to
which the per diem rates will ap
ply, as the conditions of the enu
meration will be such that an enu
merator could not make fair earn
ings at any of the per capita ra
ters established. This announce
ment was made by Census Direc
tor Durand to-day, in order to
counteract the deterrent effect
upon applications for enumera
tors’ places in the far West and
Southwest states of the widely
circulated and erroneous state
ment that per capita rates of pay
to be given in the sparsely popu
lated regions named.
The Classification of Rates.
In this connection the'Director
has issued to the census supervi
sors a detailed statement of the
classification of rates adopted for
the compensation of enumerators
in the Thirteenth Census, com
mencing April 15 next.
There are three general rates—
the per capita, the mixed, and
the per diem.
The first and second general
rates have subdivisions each.
The per diem Kites range from
$3 to $3.50, $4, $4.50, $5, $5,50,
$6, are tb be paid for a day of
eight hours work.
For enumerators on the per
capita basis which will be that
most widely' used, the pay for
each inhabitant is: Class A, 2
cents; class B, 2 1-2 cents;
C, 3 cents; class D, 3 1t2 cents;
and class E,.4 cents.

As there were approximately
2,900 licenses in 1900, this is a
gain of upward of 2,000 in nine
years.
The population of Virginia is
about 2,100,000, says the report,
and of these 1,500,000 live in dry
territory. In local option elec
tions of the last five years the
wet majorities will not total 1,000
votes, asserted Mr. McAlister.
When it is recalled thaf there
is even one j.mndi’ed counties in
the state it willoccur to the read
er that the riipal districts ,are in
clined to a dryness equal to the
proverbial “povvutrhorn.” The
General Assembly, which is now
in session is wrestling with the
problem of submitting the ques
tion of state wide prohibition to
the voters 0f the state. The An-
ti-Sal6on League is working with
might and niain for the passage
of such an act, but with slim
prospects for success, for the
Liquor Dealers Associ^tioii is not
asleep and the liquor influence in
the-stete of Virginia is a power;
to be reckoned with.
The legislature also has before
it a bill making the playing of
football a misdemeanor, punish
able by fine and iinprisonment.
Great preparation is being
made for the inauguration of
Governor-elect William Hodges
Mann into office, which event vdll
occur on the first day of February
next.
The enactment of a somewhat
curipus law is being discussed in
the statelegislature—towita law
to prevent Republicans from vot
ing in Democratic primary elec
tions. The offering of this bill
discloses the fine Italian hand of
the Democratic machine, which
desires to tighteji its grip on the
party, and through the party up
on the people.
