He may have lost some of his inlluence with tlie i)oliticians but none of his ijoiiiilarity wiih the masses. He spoKe here three times last Sunday and on each occasion more i>eople were turned away than wiu’e admitted. The very name of the man inspires the people. Ten thousand persons w*ere turned awa.v from the auditorium! where he spoke Sunday afteriujon. The Xebraskn colonel has not forgotten any of the tiicks of the orator. His voice is just as strong and clear and his tongue as elocjuent. Many of the democratic senators laugh at him but at the next demo(;ratic conventi/Jii he will ])lay a part. Bryan is not dead, ('hairman l-:dward W. Pou, of the house committee on claims, has ap- jiointed his clerks. .1. R. Collie, of Louisburg is to be his chief clerk; A. M. Noble, of Smithfield. his assistant; .lohn N\'. Thompson, of Raleigh, his private secretary, and Robert Sanders, a voung white boy from Smithfield, his janitor. The last position has been held heretofore by a negro, but it is the i)olicy of the democrats to give the places to white persons whenever lhat is fit and proi>er. Louis Hale of Fayetteville, is clerk to Rejiresen t at i ve Godwin’s (;o2nmit- tee; George H.

They Retinng Director Has Been in Office for More Than Jhree Years And Will Tender His Resignation July First. Mr. Frank P. Drane, assistant to Col. W. S. Pearson, as director of the mint In Charlotte, has been named as as- sayer here and will (a^ce uj^ his duties .Inly 1, succeeding Col. Pearson in office. Col. Pearson will resign at the ex piration of his term of ofiice and Mr. Drane, who is a young man and who has been eflicient chemical assistant, will be the man in charge. Thus says an edict from Washing ton and republican officials in North Carolina have taken cognizance of the order. Cnder a recent ruling of congi*eR3 none but an exjjert could be the direc tor or the assayer of a mint, and as ('ol. I’earson was not an expert, but had held the office of assayer and em ployed an assistant all tho while, it was evident from the first that ho would not longer retain his position. In this connection, though, the last congress reduced the appro)»riatiou tor this assay office from $4,700 to $2,- !tr,0 and said that the assayer should be an exiiert. (’ol. Pearson was not an expert and his assistant, Mr. Drano is a chemist of no mean ability. .Mr. Diane will have full harge of the office here and iu» siipt rinteiid'^nt will be named. He may dictate the names of those w iio will assist him in the (jffice. A special from Washington says; Lat> ye.slt rday aftfu'noon Secretary .McVea.gii of the treasury department, iioiilied Senator Overman that he had sent the name of Frank P. Drane for assayer of the mint, at Charlotte, the ap()ointnient to take c'itV'Cl .Inly 1, when, owing to a new rule. Col. W. S. f'earsun, suix^riiitx-ndent, of iiie niin*, retired. The assa.ver proper will have full charge from lhat time and no su- perinl“ii(iem will be needed.” Seen this morning Col. Pearson said that he would tender his resignation at tlie exi>iraiioH of his t('rm of office, lie lias as yet receiv;d no official no- titication of tlie eiian.m*, however. Imt did know of the reiiuciiou in the ap- liropriatioii by congress lor the posi tion of assayer here. Only by a strenuous fight in the last congi’f'ss was the I nit'd Stat;s mint jueservetl to Charlotte. For a long time it was thought tiu* building w^ould be sold and that the mini would be no longer an asset of the Queen City. Through the efforts of ('arollna’s rep-, reseiitatives the assay olfice w’as main tained and is toda.y where it always^ has been, next the p^'St office. ■ It is the only mint in the south. ^ Bit of History. For the first time since the assay of fice or mint, as it is locally called, waa established heie, congress, by the rul ing noted above, has demanded that tlie assa.ver in charge be an expert chemist. ■There have been 12 assayers at the mint, and not one was an expert chem ist. Thev served in the following order: Col. .John H. Wheeler, Col. B. S. Gaith er, Green Caldw'ell, wdio was a member of congress; Jvidge .lames W. (3sborne, father of .Judge F. 1. Osborne: Robt.

From 1S08 to l!tO(;, the date of his death, Prof. Geo. B. Hanna was the chemist at the assay office. The as sayer was in charge, but the work was done by Prof. Hanna. Charlotte is not to lose Col.
