Col lector Harkins, it is said, will bo pre vailed upon to retire, on Julv 1st. and if not piessure will be brought"lo bear that will practically force him out. The fact that Mr. Wagner was turned down because of his alleged close rela tionship to the whiskey distillers, paid relationship being only by reason of his legitimate occupation ns a barrel and cask maker, and kinship to L.

A republican here speaking of the "false pretense by which Wagner was undone said that although Rollins had never failed to defend the indicted whis key distillers and revenue officers, when he could get a fee as Attorney, yet be. ing more allied to that interest than Wagner, the latter was cast aside, and that when the news that "Millikan and Holton would be re-appointed by the President reached Rollins in Asheville, he was at that moment engaged in send ng out a circular letter to members of the bar of the State recommending him for appointment as District Attorney an! that this was being done with the knowledge and consent of his candidate for the collectorship Baily." If all this is true, and it has been told Often enough without contradicnion to be at least worthy of credence, it would seem that the "organization" and the Chairman, should not ba saddled with the "blame" of Holton's, Millikan and Harkins retention of office for third term but that the adminstration at Washington and their apparent good records as officials are alone responsible ft is equally true, that regaidless of politics, party, or faction everybody knowing Mr. Wagner feels that he was treated badly and that being a good clean man he ought to have something equally as good as the place he was promised, jnd a little bit bigger and better to make reparation for the in justice done him, and natural mental anguish.

It was an open secret at the time, outside , of the applause in the court room given by the large number of visiting rc venue officers who were themselves indicted, most of that coming from local habi tudes of the court lfouse when Judge Goff acquitted the Congressman, was on account of the sentiment aroused for Professor Frazier for Greensboro's postmastership. The attacks on his character had drawn his friends to him and it was felt that Blackburn's vindi cation would also mean Frazier's. But since weeks have passed, and neither he or Grant have had anything done for them, there has been a feeling here that somehow the Congressman's vin dication has had a miscarriage, so far as the President was concerned. A decision of the Supreme Court this week affirming a verdict of the superior court of Guilford in the cose of G. A. Summers interested people here.
