Postmaster Brlggs has a letter from postmaster Cabbell of the Richmond post office In which It was stated that at the end of this week the Virginia postmasters are to have a convention on the plan of the excellent one held in Raleigh week before last Post master Cabbell said In his letter that they could sot hope to have as large convention as the one here. ' Post master Wallace of Wilmington, writ ing to postmaster Briggs declaredhls belief that there was not another place in the State at which the post masters could have had so delightful time and such a variety of events In the course of a meeting as Raleigh, and could have spent so delightful a time In every way. V In the Superior court here an in surant case was argued today which presents some Interesting, not to say delicate points, A High Point man, aow very old, was Insured In 1884, on the Increasing ratio premium plan un til (5 years of age. He paid under this plan .until the premium went over a thousand dollars a year on $10,000, the amount of the policy and It is said that he paid first and last about $15,000. He sues either for a paid-up policy or the repayment of the pre mium, on the ground that the agent mislead blm as to the terms of the policy. .The question Is whether a policy can be assailed after years of paying premium without notice of the charge, fraud, until after the agent wko wrote the Insurance Is dead. The company Is represented by. people from Its home office, New Tork, among them M. M. Dawson, who waa actuary to the noted Armstrong investigating committee of the Hew Tork -legisla ture which Investigated Insurance companies two years ago, and caused so great a stir In that State. One of the company's attorneys asked the plaintiff In thla suit vew on here if he had not brought suit in-ls own countr'to set aside the deed made 20 years ago for some lands, the suit be ing brought after the notary public who had taken the probate waa dead. National guardemen are of course Just now manifesting special Interest In all phases of military news since It Is such a little time betore tha Dick bill goes Into effect In every way, the main 'feature being that in equip ment physical conditions, etc. the Na tional Guard shall be equal to the regular army. Some States have tak en great care in this matter . The troops will all be Inspected January by regula-efllcers to see exactly their status at that date, when the law be come thoroughly effective. Under State ruling the minimum number of in Infantry company Is forty and the maximum slxty-flxe. The minimum under the United States law Is fifty' sight men and the maximum sixty five in time of peace, but the Govern' meat requires that there shall be arms and equipment In the armories ready to Instantly equip fifty-fl-M men. It does not require that ther shall be fifty-eight men. but that pro vision shall be made to put that num ber in the field at once wUaout hav ing to make requisition on the war department for supplies. lit E'lpreme court today took up teiiili district appeals.

EST L5T!f The Hill WOl Have a Capacity of Si stiles' of Paper Every M Henrt And 65 Cords of Wood WID Be Used te Make lb Everything In The . - Plant a Aa Ela bor ate Scale. The citizens of New Bern have bees interested from time to time in the development of the Carolina Paper -Pulp Company manufactory In James City. Not much has been said in the Journal about the new enterprise ex cept to keep the public Informed that work on the enterprise waa steadily going on.! A representative of the Journal visited the plant yesterday, and was amazed at the enormity of the undertaking. When the Carolina Paper Pulp mill begins it will be the -most complete paper mill in the South It will have an advantage over many plants of the kind as the machinery while not new has not been used long and has therefore had the advantage of being thoroughly tested so' that it Is known exactly what Its capacity is. The preparations for the manufac tures of the paper pulp are of a gi gantic nature. It can only be com prehended by a personal view of the , plant We do not hesitate to say that when this factory shall all be com pleted there will not be a more thor- ' oughly equipped mill of the kind in the South. Every bit of machinery represents an expense beyond concep tion; for Instance a valve, $175; two bronze caps and finishings $350; rub ber bands used In operating the paper mill $250 and we might go on. fur ther enumerating many .other small details that are in themselves very costly, but are an important part of the machinery. The old buildings which were for merly the old plate mill, where this plant is located, are giving place to the more modern and substantial form of concrete building. This Is as good from the standpoint of durability and firmness as from Immunity from fire. The buildings are practically inde structible. . . Aa enormous part of the machinery Is the five digesters or steam cookera which reduce the wood material the pulp condition. These digesters weigh p42,000 pounds a plfce. Two of them are in place and represent a great a mount of work expestted. '. , ' Another large piece cf machinery ia the rotary c!d burner, will make . 160,000 pounds of sulphuric acid per day. They will ue 55 esrds cf wood per day which will mike ' 50,000 pounds pt pulp. To cccomplish all this five engines will be used varying from 100- horse power to 800 horse power. One of the engines will bo used for generatlns electricity. The machine which develops . the paper from the pulp consists of nine gun . metal roller weighing M0 pounds a- plece, and which hai a capacity of making a sheet of paper 55 miles long and 6 Jeet wide every 24 hours. The manufacture of paper out of cotton stalk has but only recently be come known to science and although far from perfection a very good and substantial commercial article Is made The Journal was ehown some fibre. made from the . cotton stalks aud It was very strong and tough. It will be used for the composition of the heaviest and strongest wrapping pa per on the market and which, by the way, Is the most expensive excepting the bond papers. The Company has a large tract ct land at the plant and have commenced the erection of houses for their em ployees. One is already finished aul another Is well under way. They et- pect to have about 50 houses for t'.e use of their help. Their supply it wood for pulp will also come fr; -j their own wooded tracts.
