Chairman Simmons. EXTRACTS FROM AN ORDER IS f?lED BT THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. Raleigh, N. C, July 28.-The follow ing waa received today: "United Statea Senate, Waahington, D. C, July 25, WOO. "Hon! Mr. Simmon, chairman Demo cratic atate executive commlttee.Ral ' elgh. N. C: . "My Dear Mr, Simmon.: I received your letter enclosing copy of the tat: inent made to the prealdvnt concerning pernicloua activity of federal employe In the state canvas. I spent some time thla morning with the civil aer Vlce commUalonera, trying to ascertain ' to what extent they had authority to Interfere In the matter. We went over the different iitatutea and regulation. I enclose you the executive order la med in '98, although I presume you have a copy of It. Home of the depart ments, I understand, have laxued simi lar orders to their employes. . "The case you mention of the United, Btate attorney' Is a very gross one and should have Immediate attention. The civil service comnilssloners had received, but had not read, your letter to them when I called to see them. They will ask for affidavit to aupport the statements mude therein. I do not recollect what date the election come off, but I fear they will have little time to do anything. If there can be proven such flagrant violations of the civil service rule as appear In your state ment, then the commission will demand the removal of the offender from of fice. "The commlrfllon promised me to write you very fully upon the subject, nd ! hope they will do so today. "The president Is not in the city or I would call upon him. He Is not ex pected here for some time. I shall be here this week. If you have any fur ther communication, you had better end It here and It will be forwarded, a I expect to go to I'ape May about the first of next week, but may have to return Immediately to see about thin Cuban InvestlKHilon, Very truly yours, "(Signed) H. I). MONEY." The following are extracts from a Circular letter signed John It. Procter, president, Issued by the Civil Service commission, from Washington, It. ("., October 15, lhH, to fe leral officeholders. The circular Is entitled "Political ur tlvlty of fedeial officer and employes. United States Civil Hervice commis sion": "Your attention h Invited to the fol lowing extracts frnm the executive In structions of July U. 1S86, which are till in force, ami which are republished for the Information nud guidance of all officers and employes In the executive civil service. These Instructions were Issued as orders by each of the de partments at the time, In accordance With the direction of the president. They were also included In the postal laws and regulations of 1K93 (see sec tion 43r. On May 2:i. 1SH4, they were re-publlshed by the postmaster-general: " 'Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their master. Nt only Is their time ami labor due to the govern ment, but they should scrupulously avoid, In their political action us well as in the discharge of their official duty, offending, by display of obtrusive partisanship, their neighbors who have relations with them as public officials. " 'They should also constantly re member that their parly friends, from Whom they have received preferment, have not invested them with the power of arbitrarily muTMnrliia their political affairs. They have no right a officeholders to dictate the the po litical action of their party associates, or to throttle freedom of ru tlui within party lines by method and practices Which pervert every useful and Justi fiable purpose of pat ty organisation. " 'The Influence of federal officehold ers should not be felt In the manipula tion of political primary meetings and nominating conventions. The use of these official of their po tiiinns to com pass their selection as delegate to po litical conventions is Indecent and un fair; and proper regard for the propri eties and requirements of official place Will alo prevent their assuming the active conduct of point, al campaign. "'Individual Interest and activity In political affair are by no means con demned. Officeholder are neither dis franchised nor forbidden the exercise Of political privileges; but their privi lege are not enlarged nor Is their Hit y to party Increased to pernicious ucllv lty by oftteeholdlnn. "'A Just diHcrtirlnntlivn In tlii ie gard between the thltiKs a cltlsen may propel ly do nn-l the put pose foi which a public office should not be used I easy In the light of a correct apprecia tion of the relation between the people and those entrusted with official place and a consideration of the necessltv, under our form of government, of p-.in leal action free from official coercion ' "The postmaster-general In a letter dated August X, 1MS. stated that fir order of the president above quoted had been neither revoked nor moilltl.-d "flection 2 of the civil service act o January 16, 1S83. ptovldcs that m- p-.i on In the public service has any right to use his official authority m In fluence to coerce the political nctlop of any peron or body.'

From the Atchison (il.'Ue If there l any huggim; in dancing It Is the women who enjoy in and not the men. It grow harder every year to In duce men to attend a dancing party. For an approaching dance in Atchison It Is said there will he In attendance three women to every man. although aeveral men have been Imported front surrounding towns. At a recent return party given In Atchison, w he-re the girls asked the boy to .dance there were several Instance In which the boy scratched off over half the dance and told the girl the dances were en gaged. The men simply do not want to dance. The churches have tried for years to Institute reform In dancing, but It looks as though the reform will come through the men, who do not like to dance and will not be made to dance. IN THE OLD NORTH STATE Mama of Interest Gathered From the. Tar Hael Presa. Murphy Bcout: We learn that Mr. George Taylor of New York, who pur chased the Hlllyer talc property, four miles south of Murphy, Is busily en gaged In renovating the plant and will put In new machinery to grind the talc for the market. Captain Urandreth is assisting in getting the property in shape. Considerable money will be spent In opening up and developing this property, which is said to be one of the best In the county. Within a few miles of each other there are three In dustries working niarblu and talc and giving employment to a number of hands. What we want to see now is similar Industries scattered all over our country and adjacent territory. , ' Charlotte News: Mr. Clarence Keuster, who got in last night from a trip down the Air Line, was telling thla morning of a safe blowing and poatof flce robbery which occurred Sunday night at O rover.

There Is no clue to the robbery. Salisbury Sun: Curious messages often find their way through the malls. Below Is given one which could not get through on account of having no ad dress. Postmaster Ramsay found a small key wrapped up In a money or der blank, and on the margin of the blank was the following only this and nothing more: "Dear Father: I got your key by mistake so will return It with this. 1 hope you and Miss Lulah will not have any words on my ac count.

Much work has been done n the large criminal docket now num bering is;l cases, counting the cases dis posed of during the first four days of the term. Judge Allen, who Is presid ing, has Impressed hlms-clf most favor ably on the bar. court officials and cit izens, who have attended court or met him socially. J. VV. Ferguson, esq., the solicitor, has tackled the large docket with Indomitable energy and by hard work has disposed of nearly 100 cases if the smaller offences. Mr. Ferguson has shown himself to be a most admi rable official, using Judgment and care In vigorously prosecuting where the case warranted It, and on the other hand disposing of many minor matter hi rapid and satisfactory manner when the good of the county and the welfare of the public would Justify such a course. Few solicitors have ever shown themselves at once more vigor ous In the discharge of duty and at the same time considerate of the humble Inoffensive cltlr.cn who has unawares been caught In the meshes of the law net. The special venire has been ordered In the case of state vs. Ilanta Rector, charged with the killing of Mark W. Lance, and made returnable on Mon day. August t. On that date the docket will be taken up for trial and now, with all the brush out of the way. the solic itor will have the opportunity of clean ing up the large and hitherto congested locket. Hon.

They have not had much until the past day or two. The Republicans have met most of the Populist campaign expenses, of course. But now money Is rolling In. Orders are given for the revenue officers and other federal officials to keep on the hustle. Orders have also gone out to work in the smaller counties and to let that work be to carry the legislative ticket. .There will be only one member perhaps In such a county, but that member will count. The Republicans are now claiming that they will carry the eighth and ninth districts by larsre matorltle They do not appear to be making any taims as to tne east. Mention was made a dav nr ta-iAurn of the arrest of an election registrar, Mr. stedman. in Chatham rnnntv nn uncle of Editor Poe of the Progressive farmer. It was said he was arrested by a United States deputy marshal on the usual warrant charging that he had not allowed some negro to register. It Is learned today that the arrest was not made. A . Retiuhlicnn nnnipil Mpplrlna mnba at High Point last night. A brass band or eight pieces led the procession to the speaking place. Two Democrats, who counted the procession, say there were five negroes In It, none of them 21 years of age. This morning the freight depot of the Seaboard Air Line at Henderson was burned. A letter from a Republican tells how completely the June session of the leg islature knocked out the ruslon plans. The writer says the plan was to have mandamuses Issued for all the election registrars, and If the latter kept at their work to Imprison them for con temptas the writer put it, "to fill the Jails with them." He says that the June session "flabbergasted" the fu stonlsts. It Is the Democratic belief that a good many of the negroes who have registered will not vote. The state charters the Greensboro Telephone exchange. The capital stock Is $!i0,000, almost all of which Is owned by T. J. McAdoo. Notice Is received that August .1 Rouse Brothers will , open a private bank at Kins ton, with $10,000 capital stock. Some asked the question today: How many Populists are there? and a well informed Democrat replied that after some Investigation qf the matter he was prepared to say there were not over 8000 of them. Senator Butler, this Democrat went on to say. had an Idea last spring that he could rally about him the say DO. 000 Populists that were In lS'Jt under his command, but they declined to muster. In 18!6 they fell away to SO.UOU. or thereabouts, and in lSJis to something like 15.000. In the days of the decadence of the Roman empire each of the young Ro mans who figured In the world had an umbra, a shallow a follower, an Imita tor. Chairman Holton Is now playing the quite undignified part of "umbra" of Senator Hutler. If he only knew what the Republicans say about him he would stop. A lot of money Is bet on the baseball games. They tnke tne place or cotton future during the dull months. Ral eigh Is the best place, far and away, for patronage of the games. Prof. M. F. Dun woody of Forsyth. la., becomes a member or tne racuny of the Baptist Ft male university here. He will be In the music department.
