Hitchcock Will Give Up
Chairmanship For Cabinet
PRESIDENT-ELECT TAFT WILL
NOT MAKE ANY FURTHER
ANNOUNCEMENTS UN
TIL AFTER INAU
GURATION
HITCHCOCK’S SUCCESSOR
Having Broken the Record
for Service in Cabinet
Secretary Wilson
Will Continue in
Place
Beyond the reiteration of the an
nouncement that Philander C. Knox,
will be secretary of state and the
statement that Frank H. Hitchcock,
postmaster general, in his cabinet,
President-elect Taft has determined
that no other cabinet appointments
shall be made known until March
fourth. To make thfs determination
effective, he will deny all cabinet
rumors, predictions or announcements
from any source or quarter whatso
ever.
It is understood that Mr. Hitchcock
will retire as chairman of the repub
lican national committee at some con
venient time to be determined upon
after he has assumed the duties of
his official position. In this event,
he will designate a vice chairman
from among the members of the com
mittee, who will head the committee
until its meeting in December preced
ing the next national election, ,at
which time the formal election of a
chairman will be in order. It is stat
ed that no controversy has existed
over this matter; that it never has
been and is not now an issue in any
manner. Mr. Hitchcock, who is in
Augusta, declined to discuss any plans
he may have in this connection and
would make no prediction as to what
member of the committee he will
designate as vice chairman
The ambition of James Wilson, sec
.etary of agriculture to serve longer
as a cajujiet minister than has any oc
cupant,,like position in this coun
try. developed an interesting dis
cussion as to whether Mr. Wilson
does not at the present time hold the
record of the longest cabinet service.
His tenure of office on the fourth of
March next will be twelve years and

WHOLESALE RAIDS
IN NDRTH_CAROLINA
ASHEVILLE, N. C.—A dispatch
from Hickory, N. C. tonight states
that a party of revenue officers, head
ed by Revenue Agent R. B. Sams,
of Asheville, yesterday raided six il
licit distilleries and seized and de
stroyed six thousand gallons of beer
in the notorious York settlement of
South mountains, thirty miles south
of Hickory. Special government em
ploye, C. F. Black of Hickory, organ
ized the raid. The blockaders were
comfortably located in substantial
buildings and some of the stills were
iin the yards of their homes.
The blockades escaped upon the ap
| proach of the officers and no arrests
; were made, but warrants are out for
■eight or more suspects.
three r/onths, according to informa
tion here. His competitors for this
distinction are said to be William
Wirt, who was attorney general for
eleven years and six or eight months,
and postmaster general Granger who
was at the head of the postal ser
vice for thirteen years, but during
none of that time was he a mem
| her of the cabinet. The position of
j postmaster general was not. a cabinet
I place at that time. Should it develop
i authoritatively that Mr. Wilson will
! have achieved his ambition on the 4t.h
|of March, it is regarded as highly
probable here that he will wish to re
tlinquish his official duties, in which
case Mr. Taft will have the additional
j task before him of selecting a secre-
I tary of Agriculture for, his cabinet,
j Otherwise, Mr. Wilson will doubtless
be a member of the Taft Official fam
-1 ily at least for a few months.
Aside from this place, It is regard
-1 ed as a fair conclusion that Mr. Taft
i has fixed in his mind and has had
approved by Messrs. Knox and Hitch
j cock the men whom he Is to invite
Ito seats around his council board.
This is believed to be the extent of
his progress at the present time, as
if is understood that no offers of
places besides the two determined
| upon have been made to any on?.
| That the proffer of places is the next
j step in order, is a matter of course.

BLUE LAWS PUT
PENSACOLA
UNDEIUID
PENSACOLA, Fla.—Sheriff Van
Pelt announced today that under the
‘‘Blue laws” some of them half a
century old, there will be no cigars,
cigarettes, nor tobacco sold, no cabs
or transfer wagons in operation; and
even the meat markets will be closed
in Pensacola tomorrow.
Following this announcement Coun
ty Solicitor Loftin informed the
sheriff, that he must not molest the
operating of street cars, public hacks,
sale of milk or any of the necessities
of life tomorrow and where it be
comes necessary merchants shall be
allowed to dispose of goods, provid

Whether the sheriff will follow the

ORR CASE HEARING
ON TUESDAY NEXT
Walter J. Grace the New
Solicitor of Macon Dis
trict will Make First Ap
pearance in That Role.
MACON, Ga. —A hearing in the Orr
case will be given by the supreme court
of Georgia on Tuesday next in Atlanta,
and on that date Walter J. Grace, the
new solicitor of the Macon circuit, will
make his first speech In behalf of the
state. The case went up to the supreme
court via the bill of exceptions route. Mr.
Grace has prepared a lengthy brief, con
sisting of 1,000 pages. The papers filed
in the case by the defense are much
longer.
C. M. Orr was formerly cashier of the
Exchange bank of Macon and last spring
he was found guilty of embezzlement In
the superior court here and was sen
tenced to a term of seven years.
The superior court refused to grant a
new trial and the case was then taken
up. After the failure of the Exchange
bank, Orr turned over to the receivers
of that institution a large amount of
property, most of which has been con
verted Into cash by the receivers and
paid out In dividend^.

WANTS TILLMAN TO PAY
POSTAGE ON TYPEWRITER
WASHINGTON, D. Till
man Is affording an illustration of
the old adage "that troubles never
come singly.” In adition to the diffi
culty about the Oregon lands, Post
master Barnes is trying to collect
from him a bill of sixteen dollars for
carrying through the mails a govern
ment typewriter which the senator
had "franked” from his home in
South Carolina to Washington.
As the typewriter is government
property Senator Tillman replied to
Mr. Barnes by saying in effect that,
he could collect from its owner. Fol
lowing is the full text of his letter:
“I have your letter notifying me
that the typewriter mailed at Tren
ton, S. C., under my frank and ad
dressed to me here Is held for post
