Grant Horses Die

Major Grant lost two fine horses last week from colic, supposed to have 
been produced by feeding on pea vines.

Grant Wins Out

As will be seen from a Washington dispatch, published elsewhere in this 
issue, the President has taken advantage of the situation and appointed 
Mr. Louis N. Grant, postmaster of this city, and Mr. Robert D. Douglas, 
editor of the Greensboro Industrial News, postmaster at Greensboro.

It was the general opinion here that soon as congress adjourned, the 
President would appoint Mr. Grant to succeed Mr. J. F. Doson, whose 
nomination has been held up for sometime at the Instigation of ex-Senator 
Marion Butler, but the nomination of Douglas in lieu of Cyrus B. Frazier, 
was wholly unexpected.

In the appointment of Grant, Butler loses out and in the substituting of 
Douglas for Frazier, Blackburn loses out. Thus it would seem that honors 
are about even. One is a loss to Blackburn the other a loss to the 
organization.

Mr. Dobson's many friends have worked faithfully for his retention, but 
without avail. He has made a spendid postmaster, has always been courteous 
and obliging, faithful in the discharge of his duties and retires with 
naught against his administration and with the confidence and good will 
of all our people.

The appointment of Mr. Louis N. Grant is a source of great satisfaction 
to his host of friends throughout the State. He is a young man of 
unreprochable character and sterling worth, capable and deserving, and we 
have cause to believe he will fill the responsible duties of this office 
with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the patrons of 
the office.
