Mayer Hahn, the present collector at New Bern, is, however, oat of the white politician who are allied with the aegro YOtersjtnd opposed to the attempt to reorganise the party. Senator Fritoh' aid Is determined to got rid of that entire element, and la addition to his fight on the colored postmaster at WiUoa, he has began one on Mr. Hah a. - Monday Mr. Fritchard went to the White House and submitted the name of ' D "W Patrick for the oolleotorshlp. Mr. - Patrick Is said to be an unexceptionable eanaioaie, a maa ut mga npmie ana auu- lty. The President seemed to receive the name favorably ,and the Impression yeste day was that Mr. Patrick woald be ap pointed. . Mr Hahn is here in Washington aad became alarmed over the outlook. Yes terday he sent one of his friends to New Tork to see Mr. Clarkson and secure the : assistance of the surveyor of the port, who Is regarded by Mr. Hahn and his people as the administration's general manager in all matters relating to Booth em politics. Mr. Hahn is said to be worth about 180,000, and is a man of standing in the community where he lire. He Is strong ly Indorsed by Democrats end Republi cans in New Bern and has a good official record. He was a delegate to the State convention at Greensboro, when the 'Lily White" organization wss started. At that convention several negro dale gates were unseated, including ex-Representative O'Hara and Recorder Cheatham. Mr. Hahn, although a white man was unseated, too. The battle has extended beyond the boundaries of color.and Mr. Fritchard is lighting when men as well as negroes, provided the white men support the old order of things. For this reason he Is determined that Mr. Hahn shall go. He has already been seriously hampered, if not thwarted, by the opposition of Mr. Clarkson,who is generally recognized as the most powerful Republican factor in Southern politics, next to Mr. Fritchard himself. This in spite of the fact that Mr. Clarkson lives in New York and was recently an Iowan. One weapon with which Mr. Hahn's messenger will supply Mr Clarkson is the argument that Mr. Patrick does not live In New Bern. Mr. Clarkson will be told that if the President wishes to ap- nntnt Mr. flalin wlt.hnnt tafrlnir iMai In the local fight he can base his refusal to appoint Patrick on precedent When he appointed the collector of the port of Wllmlngton.N. Che declined to appoint a candidate named Slocum because the latter was not a resident of the city. He can, therefore, point to that case in re appointing Hahn, OASTO Been the Tl19 Kiwi Yw Haw Always Boagtt BTfaatars f . Y" t P t ef Phone? Yes. Arapahoe and Balrds Creek 10c from Reelsboro.

A better way is to take out the cream rich milk with the cream taken out is as good as poor milk with Its cream all in. But we needn't go Into particulars. You don't rob your milk and your cus tomers. Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with. Good paint Is as rare as good milk; for human nature is much the same in milk men and paint men.

There is no proof that It existed previ ous to the fifteenth century, and the oldest known painting In which it ap pears is a portrait of a lady in the academy at Venice painted by Cas pacclo, who died about 1523. The leg end concerning the origin of the art la as follows: A young fisherman of the Adriatic was betrothed to a young and beauti ful girl of one of the isles of the la goon. Industrious as she was beauti ful, the girl made a new net for her lover, who took it with him on board his boat The first time he cast it Into the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui site petrified wrack grass, whtcii he hastened to present to his fiancee. Bat, war breaking out, the fisherman was pressed Into the service of the Venetian navy. The poor girl wept at the depar ture of her lover and contemplated his last gift to her. But while' absorbed In following the intricate tracery of the. wrack grass she began to twist, and plait the threads weighted with small beads which hung around her net lit tle by little she "wrought an Imitation of the petrification, aad thus was cre ated the bobbin lace. ' y W Owe the Hat te Asia. We owe the bat to Asia, for it was In that country that the art of felting wool' was first , known, and from the ourkmost remote' periods the art was car ried on by the orientals. In India, China, Burma and . Slam hats are made of straw, of rattan, of bamboo, of pith, 'of the. leaf of the Tallport palm and of a large variety of grasses. The Japanese made their hats of pa per. The modern hat can be. traced back to the petasurs worn by the an cient Romans when on a Journey, and hats with brims were also used by the earlier Greeks. '.'J'"j. -' It was not until after the Roman conquest that the use of hats began in England. A "hatte of blever," about the middle of the twelfth century, was worn by one of the nobles of the land, Fraissort describes hats and plumes which were worn at Edward's court In 1340, when the Garter order was In stituted.' The merchant In Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales' had "on his head a Flaunderish beaver hat" nd from that period. onward there Is frequent mention of "felt hattea." A Fortunate Escape. Mr. George N. Ives wu driving on the Macadamized road yesterday after noon when the bit broke and the horse ran away.

The horse waa In high spirits, not havlog been driven for several days and the breaking of the bit frightened the animal. The horse ran down George to 9onth Front and collided with a vehicle near Middle street and the buggy was badly n reiked. The horse wss not huit.
