On the first: Monday in June a Board
of Education consisting of A. Ward,
F. Ward and Allen Johnston was

sivners declining to accept the office.
When the last Legislature was crea~
ting offices and making laws to govern
the same, it did not seem to anticipate
that anybody felling heir to one ot the
offices would do such a thing as decline
it, and made no provision to meet such
emergency, So this action of Mr.
Joinston caused some contusion as to
just wha course to pursue.
perintendent Mebane was tclegraphed
to for insiructions, but his office being
cjosed on account of holiday no answer
came from him, .
Finally it was concluded to have a
joint meeting of the County Commis-
sioners, Clerk of Superior Coury and
Register of Deeds, and hold another
election to fill the vacancy. This was
done in tie afternoon and wien the
ballot was taken three votes, all that
wele cast, were for Jesse Cannon.
Commissioner Thompson and Register
ot Deeds erkins declined to vote.
After this election the three members
of the Board of Education qualified
and hela a joint session with the Reg-
ister ct Deeds and Clerk of Superior
Court to elect a Supervisor. Thirty-
three ballots were taken before any
choice was reached. J. R. Tingle
was finally elected.

sSWiNGING OF THE AXE.
cea
Eight Thousand Democratic Pos:
Mas~ era Already Decapitated.
Washington, Ju'y 38"While
-gome of the office seekers are
roundly abusing the President
for not making appointments
with more rapidity, they should
remember that itis Mark Hanna
and not Major McKinley, who is
dishing out the patronage. Presi-
dent McKinley isreally too much
engrossed on his message recom-
mending financial legislation tn.
conformity with pledges made at
St. Louis. And then again a good
deal of his time is necessarily
taken up by Senators and mem-
bers who believe their recom-
merdaiions will have more
weight through the President
than with Mark Hanna direct.
Bat it is not to Presidential ap
pointments that [ desire to cal!
attention, but to the fact that,
there is one official of this sdmin-
istratiou who while sawing wood
and saying nothing, is making a
a great record for himself. He is
none other than, Fourth Assistan'
Postmaster General Bristow,
better kuown as the official head-
man. Bristow has charge ot the
foarth class postmasters of which
there are some sixty and odd
thousand throughout the country
He has only been in cflice a little
over three months, but during
that period he bas not been idle.
Democratic postmasters have
been decapitated with such swift
ness and precision that it stag-
gers one to keep count. A friend
of the official headsman said
today that it was his ambition to
beat the record of all his prede-
cessors. And it must be said
Bristow is in a fair way to do it.
The firet official heademan to
attract attention to himself was
ex Vice President Adelzide E
Stevenson. During CleyelandTs
admipistration General f&teven-
son had charge of tue fourth class
postmasters and he didnTt do a
thing to the Republicans. Where
ever he sawa Republican fourth
class postmasterTs head he swung
his Democratic axe after the
fashion of Jackson. And the
Demovrats thorcughout the
country spplauded his action.
And thus it was that Steyenson
endeared himself to the party.
Had he been in ClevelandTs place
there is no question but that the
Democrats would be in power
today. With the advent of the
Harrison administration Gep.
Clarkson assumed the position
of headsman, and in the matter
of decapitating Democratic post-
masters he beat Stevenson's
record by nearly 1,000. Then
came Maxwell from New York,
He was a silent man; he said
very little. I think he must have
aged two axes, for he outdid both
his predecessors in the number
of removals. It is these records

The Seed Industry.
Daring the past spring, over
twenty willion packages of flower
and field seed have been distri-
bated by the Agricultural De-
partment. This distribution ot
seed has givento each member
of Congress 40,000 packages of
geed, at atotai cost of $130,000.
Over a million of these seed
pckages were flower seed, ap
distribution, nearly eyery variety
of vegetable known to the agri-
culturists was distributed. There
wore thirty-two varities cf beans
ten of beets, twenty-three of cab-
bage, eleven of carrots, nineteen
of sweet corn, eighteen of cucum-
bers, thirty of lettuce, nineteen
of muskmelons, seventeen of
watermelons,and fifteen of ovions.
the entire quantity of seeds
distributed was sufficient to plant
au area of 355 square miles.
This is the largest distribution
of s:ed ever attempied by the
Agricultural DepartmenT, and it
is said tLat seedsmen all over the
country are complaining that
they do not make sales to farm-
rrs and otbers, because the latter
are getting all the seed they need
from the department. The dis
tribution of seed in 1893 amount-
ed to 8,800 packages for each
member of Congress, at a total
cost cf $66,548; in 1894 each
congressman got 16,000 packages
the entire cost tothe government
being $57,000; in 1895 the number
of packages of seeds was the
Same a8 in'*he precediug year,
but the totel cost was reduced to
$47,000. In 1896 the congress-
men got 15,000 packages each,
and Uncle Sam paid $80,000 for
the lot. These statistics will give
some idea of the enormous ex-
penditure ofthe government,seeds
being only a very small item.
