Is News from Gats City just
Now
Rumors of Congressman Blackburn' movs
Against his Enemies. Mr. Waansr
and hit Allaged Dealings with
Distillers. Walser Reported
Possible Candidate
lor Republican
Chairman
(Special Correspondence)
Greensboro N. C. May 8. -The pres
ence of Mr, L. C. Wagner of States
ville here Saturday in earnest confer
ence with Congressman Blackburn, has
revived the old rumor, that the Congress
man would train all h's guns on Presi
dent Roosevelt to right the wrong he
did Mr. Wagner, by throwing him
down for the appointment as Marshal
of the Western District, after having
publicly assured him, he should have it.
The position now sought for Mr. Wag
ner is no less a one than that of Col
lector of the Western District. Col
lector Harlcins, it is said, will be pre
vailed upon to retire, on July 1st. and
if not piessure will be brought to bear
that will practically force him out. I
The fact that Mr. Wagner was turned i
down because of his alleged close rela
tionship to the whiskey distillers, said
relationship being only by reason of his
legitimate occupation bb a barrel and
cask maker, and kinship to L. E. Davis
it is now claimed was the veriest rot
and insincerity on the part of the "or
ganization," to support this contention,
the insurgents are pointing to the al
leged fac, that before Mililkan was
reappointed, the organization headed by
state Chairman Rollins had practically
endorsed Baily, a veteran distiller of
Davie county for Collector over Harkins
and this with the understanding that
Rollins should in return be supported
for Un'ced States District Attorney,
over the "immaculate anti-whiskey"
Holton.
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 rc-appointod by the
President reached Rollins in Asheville,
he wan at (hat moment engaged in send
ing out. a circular letter to members of
the bar of the Stute recommending him
for appointment as District Attorney
and th:U this was being done with the
knowledge and consent of his candidate
for th' rollectorahip Baily."
If all this is true, and it has been told
often enough without contradicnion to
be at leant worthy of credence, it would
aocm that the "organization" and the
Chairmin, should not be saddle i with
the "blame" of Holton's, Millikan and
Harkiim retention of office for third
term but that the adminstration at
Washington and tbeir apparent good
records as officials are alone responsible
It is equally true, that regsu dices of
politics, party, or faction everybody
i knowing Mr. Wagner feels that he was
1 1 rated badly and that being a good
clean man he ought to have something
! equally as good as the place be waa
' promt!, and a little bit bigger and
hotter to make reparation for the In
justice done-him, and natural mental
I anguish.
I Congrwumaii Blackburn, who has been
j around for several daya, but who has
been talking not a thing for publication

GENTLEMEN IN PERSON OR BY LETTER, OR
THE TERROR OF A MIND DISEASED.
Sad Cass of Insanity on Inmate of the Coun
ty Jail.
A very pitiable case of insanity was
seen at the county jail yesterday. The
person was a young woman named
Eula Oast whose home has until a year
ago been in Kinaton, but recently has
made her home with the family of Mr.
Gardner at 189 George street.
Her father was Burton Oast, late a
citizen of Kinston and the family hav
ing become poor, tne young woman
was sent to New Bern. She is about
19 or 20 years and in ordinary circum
stances would be an attractive looking
young woman.
The character of her insanity is both
homicidal and suicidal and the family
and neighbors where she has been
have lived in mortal terror of her for
many weeks and the people have often
had to keep their children locked up to
save them from attacks; and then she
has often attempted her own life. Yes
terday she attempted to get up the fire
place chimney aiid made a little pro
gress in the act to the ruination of her
clothes
Jailer Williams and deputy sheriff
White went and got her yesterday.
They bad no trouble to bring her to the
jail and she seemed quiet and answered
questioiis asked of her by Mr Watson
in a rational manner. Mr. Watson
conducted an examination on her san
ity last evening.
It seems a pity that there is no place
that such an unfortunate person may
be placed. The jail is too forbidding
and unwholesome. There is no room
at the usylum and the prospects are
that the poor woman must be kept in
the jail until some further disposition
can be made for her.
