State Ap propriations Attracting At tentionState Librarian Asks for Increase in Salary. Enterprise Bureau, Special Correspondence. Raleijfh, Jan. ao, Nobody here seems to think there is any likelihood of the bill just introduced by Represen tative Koonce oi Qnslow for putting all the solicitors in the State on salaries becoming a law. The salary Mr. Koonce proposes is $2,750, all the fees to ibe turned into the Stite treasury instead, of going to the solicitor. The matter of salaries or fees for the solicitors was thrashed out in the I007 legislature and is generally regarded now as set tled. The court legislation that is awaited with special interest is that bearing on he creation of additional judicial districts, wthich are claimed to be 'badly needed in several sections ofi the State. The ibill by Senator Scott car rying $93,000 appropriations for the State School for the Deaf and Dumb at Morganton is at tracting attention. The items in this are $50,000 for mainten ance, $40,000 tor a primary ibuilding, $3,000 for repairs of present buildings and $800 for a specialist to have the care of the treatment of the eyes, ears, throats and the teeth of the chil-, dren. Salaries. iNow that the Hause lvats voted to increase ' the salarv of the convmissioner of labor and print ing from $1,500 to $2,000 the State librarian, Capt. M. O. Sherrill, asks that' his salary be also increased to $2,000. The bill is introduced by Senator Elliott. The commissioner of labor and printing is "laving his pipes" for a determined stand to bring the House around to the point of giving him the $2,500 salary that was voted bv the Senate. Bills bearing on the labor sit uation in this State are still coming in.

Our neighbor Thomasvill has started out for big improve ments. At a ;big mass meeting held Monday night the citizens subscribed $600 to beautify the town. Our friend Archibald Johnson, so full of good works and excellent speech addresse the meeting saying among othe things: that he had at tended many gatherings the hall, but no meeting had afforded mm so much pleas ure as this one. He wanted to se and join a movement for the improvement and uplifting of the town. He regretted that there was a single vacant chai in the nail. He thought every citizen in the town ought to get together in this movemen, as 1 offered the poor man in the hiimMest cottage the same bene fit it did the wealthy man in the mansion. He asked everyone to consider themselves members o this League and take It upon themselves to aad in the move ment and brighten their Jfves and their child's future. He said a report had been circulated that the league would have to draw heavily on the town treasury to carry out the proposed improve ments and he wanted to state that that was a false alarm, the league would not aislk' the muni cipality for a cent. He thought there was enough big-hearted men in the place who would go down in their pockets and bring out all the money that was need ed for this work. He spoke of the new College and asked that everybody cast aside factions and prejudice and pull together as one man, and speak as one man, and make a substantial and powerful effort to have the in stitution established here, with the college on one side and the Orphanage on the other Thom- asville would present the appear ance of a thorn between two roses, but with the aid of the Civic League we would soon have the most beautiful place to be found anywhere along the Southern Railway. Mr. John son made an earnest and strik ng appeal for the League, and closed hiis talk by saying he was a new man at Civic Im provement, but offered his heart and hand, and co-operation to the movement.

Letter Written by District At torney to Preeident-Elect Taft Read in Presence of Mr. Holton During Meeting of Stockholders of Party Organ. Greensboro Record. Another family jar appears to be on in the Republican party in North Carolina. It was precipi tated by a letter District Attor ney A. E. Holton wrote recent ly and sent to Presiden-Elect Taft. Aflter perusing the mes sage, Mr. Taft sent it back to the old North State. It was per haps addressed to State Chair man Adams or one of his fol lowers. This letter was brought to light at the meeting of the stockholders of the In lustrial News in Greensboro last Thurs day. District Attorney Holton was present when the letter was read and produced considerable discussin as well as a mild sen sation. It is alleged that Mr. Holton was referred to in rath er uncomplimentary terms by some of the "discussers." It is also said that the district attor ney had at least a few friends in the meeting who did not hesi tate to endorse the views as ex pressed by him in his letter to Mr. Taft. The Asbeville Citizen ofi Sat urlay contains a special from Greensboro, purporting to be true story as to what happened in that stockholders meeting. Air. Holton was questioned as to the truthfulness of that re port. His reply was that that was only one side of the matter. That an1 effort is being or will be made to oust the district at torney is quite apparent. How ever, Mr. Holton does not ap pear to be disturbed in the least If reports are true, the district attorney is in possession of some the part of his -enemies to put interesting documents which would 3-ikely thwart aiy move on him out of office before his term expires. The friends of the dis trict attorney do not hesitate to say that his political enemies are composed of men who either want his job or who strenuously object to his action in indicting revenue officers fo. violating Uncle Sam's laws. The full text of the story sent the Asheville paper is herewith appended : "The (uncovering of an as founding letter, alleged to have been written by District Attor ney A. E. Holton, to President elect Tafrt, through the medium ofi Marion Butler, was one of the sensational developments of the meeting of the directors and stockholders ofi the Greensboro Industrial News Company, held here Tuesday afternoon. And thereto is a sequel written large whereby the relentless power of the Republican organization; will seek the head of Mr. Holton ajnd his removal from ihc office that he now holds. "The letter wUvioh was intend ed Aor the eyes of President elect Taft, and, indeed, was read by that iHustrious personage between tees' at Augusta, came back in duplicate form to the hands of a prominent member of the Industrial News Company. It was read at the meeting Thursday afternoon and that it created a sensation is putting it mildly. Several persons present umped to their feet and de nounced Mr. Holton in no lamb- ke terms. The atmosphere be came too warm for the district attorney snd he conducted an ig1- nomimous retreat. Meanwhile the order has gone out to the headsmen, and it is openly stat ed that ere many moons have passed the head of A. E. Hdlton will fall into the basket of the organization. "But the letter that tioiton is accused of writing? It is regard ed as a masterpiece of word twisting in that among other things, the district attorney wrote that the Industrial News had been edited by a Democrat during the campaign. Its pres-. e-nt editor was then, and is now, Walter IA. Hildtibrand, a life long Republican. But that is not all. Holton is alleged to have written the presidential goU player, through the person of Marion Butler, to. the effecH that it bjad been planned to sell HOT UP And Keep Straight.
