"I do not know what the party will do. I have my personal views on that subject." The state chairman made a long step towards clearing his political slate today. f The following recommendations fpr appointments were submitted to Postmaster General Payne and receiv ed his approval: , Samuel M. Jones to be postmaster at Sanford. succeeding Dr. I. H. Lutter loh. John L. Phelps to be postmaster at Plymouth, succeeding Mrs. Fagan. William P. King to be postmaster at Windsor, succeeding Mrs. A. King. Mrs. Mary A. Timberlake to succeed herself as postmaster at Wake Forest. N. Z. Deweese to succeed himself as .postmaster at Murphy. The other contests will be allowed to wait for a while. Mr. Rollins learned at the post office department that North Carolina has more post offices to advance to the presidential class the first of January than any other southern state. As an official remarked this significant fact Is a splendid index to the rapid growth and development of the Tar Heel state. Among the offices advanced to the presidential grade yestesday are the following: , Mooresville. Mocksvllle, Murphy, Rutherfordton, Windsor, Dav idson, Wake Forest.

It has been decided that Ex-Judge Merrlmon of Ashevllle will open the ar gument for the state of North Caro lina.

A mass of new evi dence, which throws important light on the Iroquois theater fire was ob tained from stage employes today and will be submitted to the coroner's Jury when that body meets next Thurs day morning to hear testimony. The coroner is convinced that the stage employes of the theater know more about the Are and its causes arrd the alleged safety appliances available on the stage than any one else,-and it is certain that each of the forty men who worked on the stage will be called as witnesses at the investigation. A num ber of those employes have mysteri ously disappeared and Coroner Trae ger has asked the police to take them all into custody, so as to Insure their presence at the inquest. The coroner has learned that Stage Carpenter Cum mings is the man who superintended the fitting out of the rigging loft and was responsible to the owners. It is said that Cummings is to blame to the directors. It is understood that it will be accepted at- the next meet ing of the board, which will be held in the near future.
