CONGRESSMAN FAISON KEPT HIS WORD Told Basnight In His First Campaign He Would Get Him Later-Senator F. M. Simmons Has a Pretty Tough Problem on His Hands As Whom To Select For Postmaster. H. E. C. Bryant, the Charlotte Ob server'g Washington correspondent, yes terday had the following interesting article relative to the squabble in the Ntw Bern postoffice: "The row at New Bern over R. E. Smith, a Democrat, has brought about many interesting situations and re called some almost ancient history. "Representative Faison, who is known as the archenemy of all Re publicans, was speaking to a crowd in his district during his first cam paifn for Congress. He had as an auditor Jesse S. Basnight, who was removed last Saturday as postmaster at New Bern. Sometime in the cou.se of Doctor Faison's remarks Basnight sneered or . jeered at him. Doctor Faison told him that he -had better -beat his off ice, looking after the mail, and his partisan employes. Basnight laughed; Doctor Faison told Rim he would go to Congress and see that his record was clear, or have him ousted. Doctor Faison has kept faith with himself. He planted the dynamite that blew Basnight out of a fine job. The fight did not last long after the old time partisan enemies locked horns. Basnight got mad, lost his head, and virtually hoisted himself on hi? own petard. n "In blowing Basnight out of the water Doctor Faison trotted Senator Simmons into one of the liveliest little postoffice contests that has come to Washington recently. Who will suc ceed Basnight? That - is the all-important question, and it is up to Sen ator Simmons. The Senator is al ways permitted to name the postmas ter of his own town without interfer ence from the Representatives of the district.

Senator Simmons had not eaten breakfast before a delegation of New Bern Democrats whose names have already appeared in ThcObserver, landed in town. The fight is on. "Lewis Daniels, John C. Thomas, Jr., S. H. Lane, and others are candidates for Basnight's old place. The signs point to Thomas or, perhaps, Daniels. Here is the situation: Senator' Sim mons and Mr. Daniels arc the best of friends personal as well as poli tical friends. Thomas is a very active party worker, and has larger support in New Bern than any other man in the race. Mr. Simmons must decide between the two Daniels and Thom as are capable. Daniels is well-to-do and Thomas has but little. " It is Senator Simmons' affair,' said Doctor Faison to the Observer cor respondent to ay. 'I am an inter ested onlooker. Courtesy puts it up to the Senator, for New Bern is his home town.' ft, "Senator Simmons will be ready to make his announcement in a few days. "The older Washington newspaper correspondents . for North Carolina newspapers recall the contest over the New Bern office that put Basnight in and shut "Bob" Hancock, now dead, out. THe real war over the office was between John , Motley Morehead, chairman of the State Republican Committee, and Marion Butler on the one side and National Committeeman E. C. Duncan on the other. Messrs. Morehead and Butler won out. Carl Duncan was licked in one of his strong holds." Room Supplies beneficial in the sick room. Drug Co. CASTORIA for Infants and Children.
