Forfait Favara Aaman U tee Athtbere Office FWil Post A report to the State papers from Washington says that the inspectors who were sent to Asheboro in connec tion with the post office fight at Ran dolph's oapital will make a report fa vorable to Auman. Auman, it will be remembered, is the candidate for the Ashebore office who has been recommended by Congressman Page and the man against whom a long and bitter fight has been waged, led by W. C. Hammer. All the pressure that could be brought has been brought to bear on Mr. Page in an effort to block the way for Auman and finally charg es were preferred against the aspirant, but in spite of factional fights and lo al opposition Mr. Page stood firmly by the man of his choiee. The inspec tor's report falls to show any proof of the charges against Auman and rec oommends his confirmation by the Senate, and it is now thought that hia nonlnation will go through without further trouble.

Polk Miller, Noted Plantation Story Teller Dead Richmond, Va., Oct. 20.Polk Mil ler, a Kichmond business man, knowu inrougtiout the South for his planta tion stories of war time and his per formances on the banjo at many Con federate Reunions, died suddenly at his home here tonight. He was Gil years old. In late years Mr. Miller had been pressed into service by the Chamber of Commerce to help entertain 30 or 40 wational organizations which held their annual conventions here. With a banjo he frequently accompanied his "darkey quartette" and related many original and amusing stories in the negro dialect. He appeared in nearly every South ern State, often with Colonel Tom Booker, another Confederate soldier. A week ago he was the cheif enter tainer at a smoker tendered the Amer ican Gas Institute by the City of Rich mond. For 30 years or more he traveled over the South but seldom annearel out of that territory, because, as he explained, ms dialed stories elsewhere were not understood. No Foundation For Story, Says Glenn. Mo Office Offered the Ex-Governor Yet "I have received no intimation what ever from President Wilson or anyone else that I am to be named as Jugde Prouty's successor on the interstate commerce commission," emphatically declared former Governor Glenn, when interviewed by the News correspon dent this morning, shortly afterhis re turn to this city from a lecture tour in Mississippi. "The first that I heard of the matter was when it was brought to my attention in one of the state papers. The Washington correspon dents seem to know more about my af fairs than I do myself." 'You have been offered no position by the President then?" the former governor was asked. "None whatever. And I am sure that if President Wilson were going to name me for any federal position, he would notify me of his intentions. I have neither heard from, nor ;oom munlcated with the President since I left here on my lecture tour. Further more, I have not given the matter a second thought. My tmio has been taken up with lecturing and I have not had suflicent time to give the ques tion serious consideration. Mr. Glenn mad- a complete denial of the reports thatJiav been published to the effect that he would be tendered a good federal position by the Presi dent. Ho said: '"The reports that I have been offer ed a federal position are absolutely unfounded and unauthorized by me I do not understand why the news papers continue to print such unfound ed reports. I am not worrying about what 1 am going to do: and why should they?" Mr. Glenn, when asked what he in tended to do in regard to entering th race for senatorship, said that he was still undecided. ''1 have not made up my mind yet, said he. "Since leaving here last, have not thought anything more about it.' He intimated that when he had given the matter thorough cons'dei ation he wou d announce what he in tended to do.

Should Be No Breach of Contract. A legislative investigating commit tee consisting of Representatives Thomas J. Gold, of High Point; W. P,' Whits, o$: Hobgood and Senator Masadsn Bellamy, of Wilminirton. is now in our midst in quest of informa tion regarding the status of the North Carolina School for the Feeble-Mind-ed, which institution is locatJd in Lenoir county near the limits of the City of Kinston. The committee will investigate conditions and report back to the special session, making such recommendations as may seem to them advisable. We are sure that the committee will be pleased with the progress that has been made. The state's money has been well and wisely spent. The build ings that have been erected are of the modern type and indicate the thought fulness and carefulness displayed by Dr. Hardy, the Superintendent, in laying the basis for the great work to be done out there. And just at this time the commit tee will see some very line crops in process of maturity on the institu tion's farm. These will again attest the superintendent's painstaking care and watchful oversight. The crops that will be to market include fine yields of corn, cotton, tobacco, pea nuts, hay, potatoes, etc. Of course hogs aud cattle on the farm will con sume a part of the produce and this, indirectly, make it more valuable. But the form itself will yield a nice return ;for the excellent attention given it Not only are the trustees looking for the special session to give the institution a sufficient sum to enable It to go .to work immediately, but the citizens of Kinston are expecting the legislature to put the Institution' on a solid, working- basis. The city hat done Its part in donating the lund for the site and the state must now do its part by vigorously sustaining the Institutlon-or there will be a breach of Implied contract, of which the state should not be guilty.
