OFFERED BIG PLACE
C"OMMISSloNER WATMON OFFER
Elb HIGHER POSITION.
Selected Without Knowledge of Sd
licitation by National Government
to Fill Newly Created Posltion.
A special dispatch from Wrizzhts
ville. N. C.. to The State says E.
J. Watson Wednesday made the fol
lowing statement in answer to a
question as to an offer of a federal
appointment:
I really do not care to say any
thing about it. but I always try to
be frank. and since you ask the dir
rect question. I will tell you that
it is true that on Monday last. by
one of the cabinet officers. without
any so:iciting on my part. or even,
an intimation of the possibil
ity of such a thing until I re
ceived a wire from Washington. I
was tendered one of the most at
tractive positions in the gift of the
nvtional government at a salary
arger than the assistant secretary
>f any of the departments. larger
han any of the governors of the
tates. save Tenne'ssee and in effect
better perhaps than that of United
tzates senators.
Asked as to the position itself.
ommissioner Watson said:
"I do not feel at liberty to state
at exactly. However. the duties
ould be in the nature of those of
L special representative of the Wash
ngton government and of a purely
onstructive and non-political car
,cter. being in execution of a re
paly developed determination in
he part of the government to push
vith especial vigor American trade
nd commerce into the furtherest
ections of the world. The duties
rould be In line with those to which
have devoted my every energy in
uth Carolina. but with the world
or a field. and would carry the
nan discharging them first for some
'ears to the Orient-China. Japan
d .\ongolia-and then to South
frica and other countries. The du
tes of the position would be such
oo. as to enable one to accomplish
nuch for the texile industry of the
outh as well of the country at large
Lnd perhaps to do a great deal on
.l matters pe'rtaining to cotton.
rhich great American agricultural
rodtmet would receive. under the
olicy adopted. mcst particular at
ention. The fullest exploitation of
merican manufactured products in
rorld's regions wherein they are now
nknown would be a leading line of
Iuty."
Asked still further about the of
er. Mr. Watson said:
"I was totally in the dark that
was even being thought of. and
ad no intimation until a telegram
me to me last wec. while I was
ttending . farmers' union meeting
d I went to Washington. where ?
ound that Representativ'es Burle
on of Texas and Lever of this State
tad surgested my name in connec
ion with the position when inquir
es were being made about congress
's to a man equipped for the ser
'ice desired. After the cabinet
2eeting on .\onday. last. after a very
brief interview with me. the cabi
et officially tendered the commnis
lon to me without regard to in
orsements or any thing else. anmd
vas readly to make the appointment
.hen and there. I was allowed a
'easonable time to consider the mat
:er. at my reqiuest, owing to its
'ar-reaching effect upon my own fui
ure and uponx the work which I
save been devoting my every e'nergy
n my home State."
"What are you going to do about
t?" was asked.
Ar. Watson said. "That I can not
et teil. The offer, coming in th:2
form and being an offer of a posi
tion of grave responsibilities free
"rom the influence of politics, and
ing of the same constructive char
aeter as work in which I .have been
engaged, is extremely atterin;:. and
the salary maaes it alluring. On
the other hand my whole soul is
vrapped up in the work of my own
state. This work is developing at
n atonishing rate. and I am nr'
Leeking the fruits of untiring labor
every side. The work I have
wanted to do ia South Carolina is
not yet done, hut it is on the high.
ising tide, and I should hate to
!anon it. Butt I am a poor man
ind the State pays scarcely a living
'n 'er present conditions, but then
Lnd there are many things to be
'aken -.nto consider'ation. and I am
iving them the most careful con
..ideration of my life. As yet I
honestly don't know w~hat I will do.'
It is learned that the salary con
-;iAeraby exceeds $5.?MO( a year witn
: expenses in addition.

Deputy Collector Anderson lost his

One of the most spectacular en

Blazing Vessel.
'The old wooden three-decker.
Grand Republic. sister ship of the
ill-fated excursion steamer. Gen.
Slocum. caught fire Wednesday af
ternoon while passing through the
narrows in New York harbor, on
her way to that city from Far Rock
away. and hurried full steam abead
her whistle blowin.: a continuous
succession of short. nervous blasts
and a plume of smoke trailing be
hind her. for the Cresent Athletic
Club pier on the Brooklyn shores.
Her 24- passengers were all land
ed safely and the fire extinguished
with $2.500 damage. but there was
no little alarm in the city and on
the harbor until the full details we-e
known.
Everybody remembered how a lit
tle more than six years ago, the
Slocum. caught fire in the East riv
er. when crowded with 1.500 pleas
ure seekers. mostly women and chil
dren. and was burned to the water a
edge with 938 drc-a'.ed. crushed, or
baked alive.
Wednesday, as then, the fire start
ed. nobody knows how, in the gal
ley just abaft the starboard paddle
wheel and spread quickly through
the wooden superstructure. There
was no panic. The women were bad
ly frightened, but the crew had no
trouble in keeping them in hand.
and the children were so pleased
with the music of the band, that
they kept playing through the dash
for shore, that they never knew
their danger.
The calls for aid from the Grand
tepublic brought fire boats. tugs.
steamers and a Brooklyn fire engine
to the pier and the passengers were
quickly put on shore and the re
extinguished.
Thousands of people had gathered
ilong the shores to watch the blaz
ing vessel. Capt. Carmen. when the
ire was discovered. directed the en
gineer. who was sticking to his post.
in a smoke-filled engine room. to
keep up as much steam as possible
tnd put on full speed.
Capt. Carmen and Purser John Mc
onaghey. by prompt attention.
Inelled what seemed for a few min
uto-s would devel3p into a panic.
Men and women began to scream for
lp. but as the shores. at the point
where the fire was discovered were
-lose by. the fears of the passenger
were quieted.
Life preserves were handed out to
he people as fast as they could be
raken from the racks. and for a time
t loked as if many of those wno
'ad life preservers would jump over
board. Children were lost in th
teneral exciteme1.nt. but were rest.n
d to their parents after the vessc
ad docked. Capt. Carmen ordered
rhe band to play until told to stop.
The work of getting the people off
the boat was done quickly and with
ut mishap.
