Va,, January 26. — All negotiations looking to ward a compromise of the diffe rences between the Republican jjjd Democrats of the State Sen ate are declared off, an,4 the fu- feire is problematical. 3uch is tiie statement made at the head quarters of the Republican mem- l^rs tonight. Governor Glass- eocK has not and will not sign the commissions of United States Senators-elect Watson and Chil ton. Watson left tonight for the East, presumably on his way to Washington, to ask for his seat without credentials from the Governor. Clerk Neely, of House, this evening certified to the Governor ^e election of Watson and Chil ton, but the Governor has not teKen the matter up for conside- ation. It is known that he will refuse to issue commissions to the successful candidates on the ground that he considervs the state Senate not legally organiz ed. Before leaving to-night Watson gave out no statement of his intentions. Clerk Neely stat ed that he had not delivered to Watson any certificate of election FOR A RIGID INQUIRY. The Democrats of the House today took steps to investigate tiie charges whi'ih have been intade that the nomination and election of Watson and Chilton ae United States senators were brought about by bribery. When the resolution, introduced yester- ^y, came up for consideration a House adopted as a substitute a joint resolution offered by Dele gate Seibert, Democrat, of Berk ley county, and reported the same to the Senate. The Seidert resolution follows: “Be it sesolved by the House ©»: Delegates, the Senate concur ring therein that a joint commit tee of five composed of three members of the House of Dele gates to be appointed by the Speaker, and two members of the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate, is autho rized and instructed to proceed with all reasonable dilligence to make a thorough investigation of all of the matters and things con- oerning certain charges made by Senator Bland, and by Delegate Nelson C. Hubbard, and to fur ther investigate all the matters and things concemiing the charge that L. J. Shoch, a member of the House of Delegates, from the county of Braxton, was paid, or offered any sum ol' money for his vote in the late Democratic caucas for United States senator. The committee is authorized to employ proper assistance, to sum mon and compel the attendance of witnesses to administer oaths and generally, to send for per sons and papers- GOVESNMENr POORLY PAYS FOR HAULINO ITS liJUL SAURY SYSTEM PROFITABIE Register of Deeds, Only Officer of Cleveland County on Salary, Saves County Over $200 in December. Shelby, Jan, 26.—The salary system for county officers is prov*” ing a great save to Cleveland and is shown by the register of deeds. This is the only county o0cer at present on a salary basis, but the representatives of the county expect to pass laws at the present tenri of the.Legislature putting all of them on the salary basis* Mr. J. J, Lattimore, re^ster ojf deeds, saved the county $206,05 during the month of December and says at least $150 will be sav ed this month. He is getting a salary of $150 a month. He took in fees amounting to $356.06, for which amount he gave the treas urer a check and received in re turn his salary of $150. It is estimated that the county will be saved from $,6000 to $10,- 000 when all officers are on a sal ary basis and the change in the register of deed’s pay is so profit able a bill will be introduced put ting them all on the same basis, though varying in amount. HOOPER INAHATEO GOV. OF TENNESSEE COWARDLYJIGLARS Knock Two Defenseless Women Un conscious and Get $300 Loot. New York, January 26.—Four masked men, armed with heavy “police'' revolvers, rang the bell at'the door of a second-floor a- partment in a six-story apart ment-house, on West Thirty- eighth street shortly after 1 o’ clock this morning. Miss Char lotte Stanton and her sister Har riet were seated in their parlor awaiting news from a sick rela tive. Miss Charlotte y/ent to the door, supposing that the ring anj^ nounced the expected messenger. As she opened the door the mask ed men pushed in, the foremost knocking her unconscious with a blow from the butt of his revol ver. Miss Haniet, hearing the commotion, rushed to a window and screamed for help. Her cries were silenced a moment later by a blow similar to the one which had felled her sister. The intrud ers went quickly through the a- partment, securing 4>300 in cash and jewelry valued at an epual amount. Then they fled. The police, summoned by a neighbor who had heard the cries of the young;er sister, arrived! just too late. They picked up a i mask and a loaded revolver in i the hallway, where one of the robbers had apparently dropped them in his haste. In Address made Plea tliat People of Tennessee Settle their Political Differences Withm Legal Limita- idoBS—Touches on ProlulKtion. Nashville, Tenri,, Jan. 25.r~ Benjamin W. Hooper, who head ed the Republican ticket last No vember in one of the most stir-r ring political fights this State has ever exper.anced, today was ih- augurated Governor of Tennes see.. Governor Hooper opened his inaugural address with a plea that in future the people of Ten nessee settle their political diffi culties within legal and constitu tional limitations- Touching upon the subject of prohibition. Governor Hooper said the question so far as . Ten nessee is concerned, "does not so much involve the wisdom of prohibition laws as it does the advisability of permitting a com munity to decide what laws it will obey, and what so ignore and nullify. The doctrine of State nullification was crushed by Andrew Jackson, many years ago and the doctrine of city nul lification deserves no better fate.” Malcolm R. Patterson, the re tiring Governor, also addressed those who assembled to witness the inaugural exercises, thank ing his friends who have stood by him in the stormy days of his administration. THE USE OF MONEY IN ELECTION IN ALAMANCE A CITIZEN WANTS THE SALARY SYSTEM Notwithstanding the fact that very much misinformation has gone abroad relative to the a- Bfiount the Govemmtsnt is paying for carrying its mail the railroads today are receiving less in propo tion for hauling the mail than they are from asiy oi.her source. A former session of congress appointed a committiee to inves tigate the pay for hauling the mail on the railroads, this com mittee spent two years in inves tigating carefully, an das a result reported that the pay was reason able and should not reduced. Notwithstanding that luct an. or der issued by Postmaster General Cortelyou has reduced the pay on railroads to the amount of ^5,000, 00 0 a year. With the constant agitation against the railroads from shippers and tlie stripping of the rates by the Government, people do not have to look far to see why there is a general busi ness depression, this fact is be soming apparent to all thinking and business men everywhere. The question that they ask to-1 (lay is, how long will this last? Graham, N. C., Jan. 30 Editor Dispatch: I vote in favor of putting our county officers on salaries, if for no other reason than to prevent the candidates spending so much money to get elected, as the Bur lington News says that it costs half years salary to get elected in Alamance. Let’s stop this abuse. The last time I saw the late Thomas F. McVey, which was only a few days l^fore his death, and just before the last election, he told me that he had just beeiv-to Burlington to see the Democratic county Executive Committee to induce them to join him in putting a stop to tWs abuse and vice, but was turned down. Let’s all, Democrats and Republicans get together and car ry out this great reform, propos ed by our good friend, the late Thomas F. McVey. Citizen. Dr. D. D. M:artin, of Tulsa, tending the clinical convention of North Americjan surgeons in Chicago, performed an operation in the clinic that demonstrated his sureness of sight and judg ment, in the presence of a large gallery of young physicians. Dr. Martin is 89 ye^irs old. Burlington, N. C., Jan. 28. Editor Dispatch: “Again the bank cashier is ap pointed and it does not cost him half the years salary to get elect ed.”— Editorial in Burlington News. I have hea^d during the last two or three elections, rumors of the use of money to influence the voters of Alamance, and while I know nothing whatever of my own knowledge that one dollar was used, I did not doubt but there was some truth in these re ports, and that both parties were guilty. However, the above ad mission by Mr O. F. Crowson, one or the leaders of the Demo cratic party, and who should be posted, that it tiakes one-half of the salary of the office to be elect ed in Alamance county, should make us blush for shame and that if We know that such condi tions exists, then it is the duty of eve^ honest man in our coun ty to rise up as one man and de mand that this abuse be stopped. I call on each and every news paper in our county to take a po sition on this question, and I also suggest that the Ministers Asso ciation take this up by calling a mass meeting at once take steps to have our/Representative in the Legislature to pass a bill that will put a stop to this practice, Mr. Crowson has done good by call ing the attention of the public to this abuse, and I hope and be lieve that he will continue and help to remedy this evil Reform. iiB. WHITE MAKES A GOOD WESTION Crowded otit last week; Mebane, N, C., Jan, Mr. Editor: Much has been said written in riB^d to putting our county of ficers on salaries and I believe that a large majority o| bur citi- a^ns and tax payers favor the change. Believing that it vdll not fiiiliy mean a large saving to the cotnrity, but will bethe mesins of gettihg our county bfficer oii a businfiss basis. We see th^t the larger aud more progressive coiinties of our state are askirijg this sesfiipn of the Legislature t;o put their county officers oh giala- ries, and ais Alamance is one o^ the richest counties of our state, ?nd its wealth is increasing rap idly I can see no plausible reason^ why Alandanee should, not be as progressive as our sister counties. I suggest our County Commis sioners at their meeting on first iVlpnday in February call a mass meeting of thei citizens and tax payers of Alaihance to meet jti the Court House at Graham at an early day to discuss this, and such other matters as may come before the mass meeting, and then if the citizens and tax pay ers of Alamance favor this re form, then to petition our able young Representative, Hon. J. Elmer Long, to have this bill drawn and enacted into a law. If we want this relief, it will be necessary to act quickly, as the present session of the Legisla ture will have otjly about thirty days more, after the first of Feb ruary. Let all get together and work for the go^ of our county. W. E. WHITE. FINOS A CtIHE FOR CANCER V&cdne SnccessfiiUy Used on Boy in NIew Yorjk Buffalo, N., Y., January 27.— Coincident with the introduction into the legislature of a bill by State Seritor Loomis for a appropriation for a New York state cancer laboiratoiry liere, the announcemeht is, made here this by Dr, H. (^1^ trf the laboratory, that he to dis- csovered'a cure for cancer, and successfully demonstrated it in the case of a boy 17 years old. ' ; “Yes,” said G^k>rd^^^^/^ cure has been effected, and the W6rk has prog^ssed to the point where it is absolutely .n^cess^^ that we shbiild have a reseai’ch hospital in connection with the institution if we are to l^ep a- bieast of what is being done else where. Our experiments with vaccination have brought results that justify us in applying the treatment to human beings in a hospital of this kind.'?■ Vin the case the cured boy an operation had been recommend ed to remove the cancer, which was located on his neck. The boy^s parents refused to allow tbiSj and so the treatment at the cancer laboratory followed. The vaccine gradually removed the casncer, and now all trace of it has disappeared. GUH.FORD $10,393.11 As a result of the operation of the Gordon act placing Guilford county ofiicers oh salaries, more than $10,000 was saved the coun ty ifiurihg the past year. The ex- SENATOR OVERMAN SECURES a«AT10N FOR HOLTON; school fuB4 to Washington, Jan., 31.—Through Senator Ove;rman, as a member of the judiciary committee of the senate, the confirmation of A, F, Holton to again be district attoi - ney for the Western district cf North Carolina, was brought a- bout today, Holtorv explained some utter ance reputed to liave been made by him during the last campaign with respect to the late judga Merrimon, to the satisfaction of Mr. Overman several days ago, and it was to this fact that the junior Tar H!eel member with drew objections to the confirma tion of Holton. GRAHAM WANTS BETTER PAY FOR STATE LEfilSLATORS. Raleigh Jan.31.—A bill introduc ed by Senator Graham of Orange today would amend the state con stitution so as to increase the com pensation of members of the gen eral assembly to $300 instead of $240, and if an extra session is held, pay them $100 each for it. The presiding officers ai’e to re ceive $10 per day. Senator Gra ham says the high cost of living makes it impossible to serve in the legislature without personal financial loss aiid that the people ought not to expect their law makers to make up the deficit of necessary expense. the 3coad, fund of the county.— Greensboro special to Chariotte Observer. Burlington, N. C., Jan. 26. ■Mr.:Editor: ^ ■ How can any oiie dppt)Sie put ting our county officers on sala^ ries, or to put it stronger, how can any one keep from petition ing the Legislature to give us the salary system. From the above statement it shows that by Guil ford County adopting the salary system, they were enabled to add to the school fund of their coun ty $2,419.34 and to the road fund $7, ^75.77. If Alamance can save only one-half the amount that Guilford County savesj don’t you think it is worth saving? And if there is any man in Alai'/iance, except a county officer, or one who expects some day to hold down one of these jobs, that is not in favor of placing our officers on salaries and saving $5,000.00 per I year please stand up and show yourself. I vote in favor of peti^ tioning our representative and Senators to give us this relief. • Democrat. MEANS A BIG SAVINS TO THE TAX PAYERS The siEde of the Sodtlii^ Trac tion and Pow«?
