It la *11 over, and everybody but
Poundmaster Carl lilt* la happy. The
; latter'* cup of contentment will not
be full until he la certain the caua#
of It all won’t happen aiain
The end came Monday moinlnt
. when Superintendent of Street Clean
tns Cohn declared that following In
I veatisation* Into the darln* robbcrle*
perpetrated at the do* pound, he had
arrived at the conclusion drat, that
i Mr. lllllt was in no wl*e to blame.
A l*o that Watchman J. Burroughs
was not In fault, ale*’ tha< there wm
not a scintilla of evidence Incriminat
ing Captain of Itog Catcher* Henry
Blount. Also that he bad decided to
drop the matter.
In other words, Mr. Cohn ha*
Wielded the official whitewash brush
without fear or favor, and the dog

Class. ”
Mr. Cohn has derided that ,1u*« one
man 1* responsible for all the thievery
that has so wracked the soul of
I Poflndmaster 1111*. That one man la
the wicked thief.
Tet. a* said before, Mr. lilt* Is not
j entirely happy. He cannot hut re

of socks (made In Germany and war
ranted to wear well) and one-half
pint of whiskey (kept for medicinal

Mr. 11)1* wants his possessions back
If he can get them back he would
like to be assured that nothin* else
will be taken. Incidentally he would
like to know who Is *oln* to pay for i
the repairing of his desk, which the j
burglar “fixed” so that t will not (
open.
All this would the gentle pound
master like—yet neither the return
of the nilasing articles nor the as
surance of no more burglar visits
i resulted from the Investigation. Nor
was a single word said about the j

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 22—The
announcement of Mr. H. A. P. Cooley,
of Nash county, that he will run as an
Independent democrat for Congress
against tne regular nominee, Hon. E.
\V. Pou. has caused considerable In
terest In the political circles In this
section of the State. Already the
republicans of one county have en
dorsed Mr Cooley’s candidacy, and
It Is likely that he will receive the
endorsement of the republicans in the
district. Mr. Cooley announces that
he is. has been and always will be a
democrat, but that he is opposed to
ring rule and favors local seif-govern
tnent. He also says that he is ready
to meet Mr. Pou In a series of Joint
discussions. This district is composed
of Nash, Franklin, Johnston, Chat
ham and Johnston arc slightly repub
lican; Nash, normally democratic. Is
In a bad shape this year; Wake Is an
unknown quantity on account of the
recent bitter primary; report has it
that Vance is torn with Internal strife
In the democratic party, while Frank
lin Is In excellent shape from a demo
cratic standpoint. With the support
of the republicans and the disgruntled
democrats, present indications are
that Mr. Pou will have rough sailing
to get elected. It Is believed that he
will land all right, but his majority
Is likely to be cut to such an extent
that will make It no walkover. There
is little doubt but that thore will be
an Independent ticket in this county,
and the general belief is that there
will be announcement to that effect
before the week Is over. The county
primary, which was the bitterest ever
fought out here, left many wounds,
and It seems that the feeling grows
stronger Instead of better, which
leaves the political situation all in
the air. It is possible, but hardly
probable, that the matter will be ad
justed before election. Already two
I clubs have been formed of democrats
who will fight the ticket nominated
I at the recent primary, and several
men who have heretofore been demo
cratic leaders will make an active
campaign against the nominees. If
the Independent ticket Is put out.
Wake county will be treated to the
! hotteet-eanH-Mitgn * hrrt Ims'erer been
her misfortune to witness, which is
saying much.
t'halrman Kller, of the State demo
cratic executive committee, has called
a meeting of the committee to be held
here Wednesday night to hear the
report of the special committee that
was appointed to investigate the mud
dle in the Sixth congressional district.
In which both Congressman Goodwin
and O. Li. Clark claim to be the regu
lar nominees of the democratic con
vention. This mix-up has caused the
State organization more trouble than
anything that has confronted it In
recent years, and the report of the
committee will be awaited with a
great deal of Interest.
