FRIDAY JULY 26 19tt North Carolina Gets Hers Short Sketch of What Has Been Done in The Present Congress / SENATOR SIMMONS PLAYS A BIQ PART Among the Valuable Leglala tlon of the Prtaant Congrreta Efteotlnar North Carolina la the River and Harbor Appropriation* Bill. Herewith we glre a Uttie detailed in formation on some of the main features of legislation by congress effecting Worth Carolina. We also include others that effect tfie whole country, each of ?which are of espeolal Interest to our people. ? North Carolina's repreeentativee in the congress of the United States hare certainly Beared prominently end ef fectively In the legislation of the ses sion now drawing to a close, mora so i than in many yean, and the atate cer tainly has cause to be proud of the werk done by our senators and ceo-' gressnao. Thii f let U accentuated by the splen did generalship displayed by our sena tor* on several occasions yery recently Daring the put week oar senior sena tor by reason of the sdy wtaffeoos po sition be occupies on the important finance committee which eerved admir ably to support to a successful conclu sion his zealous efforts to secure the amendmenta he introduced giving North Carolina additional appropria tion in the riven and harbors bill, furnished a practical Illustration of the advantage a state haa in sock matters when it is represented by an experien ced and "working" legislator ? whe by ability and loorf service as such has forged ahead to the front rank of the important committees, position which are never allowed to be held by any nun except one of strong natural force backed up by the sine quanon of coni gressional experience. Here is one in stance of bow North Carolina profited within the last few days, as stated in the press dispatches from Washington; following are extracts taken from these dispatches: ; *' THESE QUAKTS1IS OF A MILLION DOLLAK8 FOB NORTH CAROJJKA lMPKOVlKINTS "Nortfi Caroljha is to get nearly all the appropriations originally carried in the Riven auQ Harbor* bill by Senator Simmons, y^his is the reealt secured by Senator Bimmons, minority conferee ?of the senate, in' this action tacen by the conference committee. "In this matter the house conferees made a determined fight on the i'ems in the bill covered by the amendments of Senator Simmons, but agreement was finally reached, all the amendments Senator Simmons offend beiajr re tained. '"By these amendmenta Senator Siss mt >s obtained JSOO.OOO cash for the Cape Fear river below Wilmlngtop; $400,000 eash to begin work on the har bor or refuge at Cape Lookout; $100,000 cash (or putting lnte immediate use the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, this <janal to be parchaaed by the govern ment. His friends regard the success he met with aa s big victory, for the house conferees opposed them on the ground that he had gotten for North Carolina more than its' share of the amount added to the bill in the Senate. tabhsbl mnatob mora wmuo* majority to xnaiu oh tabifv vom More broadly speaking, here is an other and even greater vietory achieved by our senior senator during the last few days, in which he became the Sen ate leader on the Democratic side in accomplishing something in whloh the National Democratic party is vitally in terested at this time again quotations an made from the Impartial press die pstches u.ider dati of July 18th. . ?The senate reached an agreement Ute teday to vote upon the next three principal Democratic tariff and finance bills late Beset week, the wool tariff, excise tax bill, sugar tariff. The n ault came from a Democratit -fullibus ter Which for two days had held up consideration of the big civil sundry ap propriations bills, which Senator Sim mons as the minority finance committee leader had notified the republicans would be done, if they continued to at tempt to prevent a vote on these Dim ocrstlc msaauree, ea which the parts will largely go before tlie people thi^ year in the national campaign just opening up. The press dispatches, in referring to this notable victory of the ' Democratic .minority, under the leadership of Sena tor Simmon* by which the republican majority was forced to abandon its caoana plan of preyaoiiafc the Dento crats in the senate from carrying out their purpoee-of compelling a "afaiow down, a record vote, oa great issues that are to figure in the present cam paign. compliment Senator Simmon* of North Carolina In iplendid tributes to hi* masterly handling of the contention la which figured indeed the "gianta" of the nation in the greateet deliberative body in the world. One of theee re ports aaja, among other things: "Senator Simm6n* received the hearty congratolation of hia colleagues, when after week* of hard work cul minating In the flWbuster te force the republican majority to conaent to ac tion on the tariff bille, he succeeded In fo using the republican* to agree. "In view oi the stabbom efforts of the. republieana to defeat actio* on theee bills, the victory of the North Carolina Senator, leading the light far the Democrata, I* regarded aa a rery signal one." DAT* OP THB ADJOURNMENT Or COM ouss Moras DP. Becanae of the victory of the Demo crata In aecuring the definite da tee for the conaideration and rote on the House tariff and excite tax biUa Con gress is now expected to adjourn by the middle ot August, whereas up to that event it waa coniidered to be impoe sible tor the national legiilature to fin ish the neoeaaary work of the seseion before the middle of September or later. It has been a sessioa in whieh North Carolina'a repreeentatire* have- cer tainly figured moat prominently and effectively, not only !h the intereat ot their own State but for the welfare of the Natioa and the Democratic party a* well. Norton PRIZE- VIGtmMG MOT If* P1C TuaES. - v.: ?-.! Another measure accomplished with in the last few days was the pjMiagt of the bill, on Jotr 19th.. te prohibit the exhibition of prize-fight* by moving picture concern*. And again North Carolina figured In the front rank in ?scaring this highly commendable piece of legislation. The Associated Press account givea Seaater Simmon* the credit for putting the Mil successfully through the Sen ate, while Representative Sims of Ten nee*eo preyed the bill in the House. The bill prohibits the transportation of such moving picture film* between the various states and territories and from foreign countries. Heavy fines are im poeed for ylolatioa of the law. The accounta from Washington add that Southern members of Congress were "especially Interested in the bill be caoss of the race feeling *|irred ap by the exhibition ot the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures in the South.". . - ! Mr. and Mrs- D. 0. Pteroe En tertain. On lut Wednesday night from eight to eleven Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Pearce entertained a number of Mends in hon or of Miss Helen Thomas, of Raleigh. The l?w? vas beautifully lighted with Japanese lanterns and the grape har bor was a scene o* beaaty, being light ed with Japanese lanterns and seats prepared beneath the glow of the ?oft. lights. Music was furnished by quite a number and progressive con versation was the amassment ef the occasion. Refreshments wets served on the lawn. The guests were as fol lows: Rsy. Luclea M alone. Miss Mary Stuart Egerton; N. B. AJsbrooks, Miss Bettie 3 tailings; J. A. Hodges, Miss Eleanor Thomas; Geo. Walker, Miss Lot* Bet Person; Thos. Ruffln, Miss Jalia Barrow; W. D. Jsckson, Mias Ina Harris; Fsstus Fuller, Miss Helen Thomas; H. E. Hight, Miss Beul?h Tucker; Blair Tucker, Miss -Annie Belle Harris^ Walter WaddeU, Mias /esse Taylor Harris. Stsgga: William Winaton, Earl Underwood, Greenwood Hill, Billia T. Person, Terrell Kemp, J. E. Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Sid Hol den, Mrs. A. F. Johnson. Aftsr ths wee small hours ths crowd dispersed declaring Mr*. Pearce a most charm ing hostess. V An Interesting; Cat*. On last Saturday before flqalre J. A. Turner, in the court house was tried a cass wherein Mr. Matthew Person was aulnga Mr. Joarnlgan for persuading ? ; ,?jp 3 ^ ? v an employer to Ittn him sod harbor ing said employe. The eass ih a long drawn eat one and to the wind up through came mining link the cass was loat by Mr. Penan, This ease however fornishea material for a great deal of suggested legisla tion. It is troe a man should not bs (allowed to aell himself to any one, bat when one man openly and willingly enters into 4 contract to work for another man, aad eapeeiaily whan he remains with the employer two or ttazse months while then is up great deal of1 work as it is with a farmer, ha should be ferced to remain and com plete same or make restitution. We ?ee no apparent difference so far as absolute Justice is aoaesrnsd, between a contract of Una kind and a contract to pay back money borrowed, either under mortgage or otherwise. It is a practice that %as been too prevalent throughout the country districts and in many eases dsns for purely beat, no doubt. This la causing much loss oo oar farm en and aome remedy will necessarily have to be made eoisahow. , City Water All Blfht. - " Supt, R. 0. Beck, of the Water plant informs us that a report oa the city Water by the 8tats chemist received herj Monday says ths water is all right. This Is good news aad will be weleoms ly received by ths maay water consum ers in Louisburg. Sever* Hail storm. News reached here yesterday to the effect that a heavy hail storm passed over a southern portion of Franklin county on Wednesday afternoon about 2 o'clock doing much damags to crops in Its path. The renort says the crops of J. T. Mediin, Lee Jcftes, Joseph Land, Ed Arnold, Walter May, James Privett and 8idney Horton were practi cally destroyed. Much of the hail fall at Mr. J. N. Harris but did no special damage. ?r. Riff Her* Mr. F. A Riff, . Louisburg' s new jeweler who will have location for-ths present in ths Howell ? Bunn furniture store on Msin street, armed in town Wednesday afternoon. He informs as hs hss had his work bench together with sll the ascsssary equipment ship ped out and expects it to* be here not later than Saturday. Mr. Riff has a number' of excellent recommendations as an expert in his profession and in him Louisburg can now lay claim to an expert jeweler. He was accompanied by his wife and they will make their arrangement fsr permanent location ia Louisburg. A Great Mistake- V There are a (Treat many young men in Leoisbiw who are renting a dwell ing house to liye in, when if they would only investigate and show % lit tle desire to help themselves they could ?ecure the assistance of the Building and Loan Association and build them a home like they want for not to exceed the cost of rents. It is true you pay. ss seen from the Association's side a large Interest, but from the borrowers side it is not much. If any, higher than you would pay anywhere else. It only ooets about 25 cents a share to get started and at the end of seven years vou bays a home for the money you would otherwise only hare rent re ceipts. This is a grand institution striving to help the man who wants to help himself. In writing this we have absolutely no unpleasant feelings towards the persen who has property for rant, as we do aot believe the turn of the' tide will effect theas aay at all. There will always be renters and we believe prop erty in Louisburg brings only fair re tarns. A Question for Merchants. There is no question bat, that adver tising in say way pays however th? question has arisen "which is the best?" We propose in this to make a comparison which srill be worthy of aay person's time who is oonsldering advertising. Merchandising is the same as sny other basin ess, we pre sume therefore we don't gaess they dollsrs for what they can buy for one dollar. This is our point and here is a comparison. Tou may study it and get what can out of It. FOR 2600 CIBCULATlok. 2600 Circular Letters $6.60 2600 Envelopes 4.50 2600 Stamps 1 cent 29.00 I Day for addressing folding etc. 2 60 Total (88.60 2500 circulation in FlUNKUN Truss (1 week) say ths frme V" amount la the same sue (face (contract) no stamps, envel opes or addressing ?.75 This is actual aad a guarantee can be gotten to Include above. Another fea ture li about half the circular letter* will We thrown away bate* read, certainly before being taken home. The newspaper is taken home, read by father, mother, and a house fail of brothers aad sisters the^ hired man, the hired woman aad lots of tiines two or three neighboring families. The fact that one is personal may have some little weight bat the fast on the other hand that the mer chant is as enthused oyer his bargains and desire for business that be is Dot aahamed-to proclaim his warss to ths world will offset that as many times or more than the difference in coat. Ia reality gentlemen, tan yeais ago the Tinas only had about 1200 sab scribers in all and today ws will guar antee to famish you each week, aboys 2460 aad not charge you a cent more than our rates ware tea yearn age. There is not a merchant in town who will fire a customer a barrel of flour hardly at the same money be woold tea years ago, much less??we for the same money, still we will gira ths merchant twice as many, and then more, circula tion at tbe.same price. There is an Individuality in a news paper advertisement that draws ths merchant and the consumer closer to gether than any other class of adver tising can ever hope to do, wherein even three times as much money is spent. Mr. Merchant yon figure close on other things. It is time you were fig uring close on year advertising. When you spend a dollar know that you are getting a dollars results as compared with what you can bay for that dollar. '? .'?>> .*?

For some time things had been miss ing from room No. 20 in the Louis burg hotel and efforts bad been made to catch the culprit but until yesterday morning were all in vain.

MostPleaeiagr The CandUr-Crowell Co., with us to extend to their many customers, their appreciation* of their patronage during the recent pre-inventorr sale. They are especially well pleased with the re - suits of the sale and from all appear ances and from many actual state ments the public who availed them selves of the occasion are equally well pleased with the many bargains they found. The proprietors of this estab lishment inform us that by this method they propose at all times to keep a clean and up-to-date stock, by getting rid of all the old odds and ends. Here's lucces* to them and their ideas. An Injustice. There are man; of the water con tainers bo we are informed who (eel that they are being done an injustice unintentionly by the management of the water plant in the .fact that In aome few eases two or more familiee or places are allowed to use wfcter through one meter and pay only ene minimum ? dividing lame between them. This matter has been called to the attention of the authorities before but for some reason oyer looked. It is true that where the second family uiea water from the supply for the first family it would be hard, possibly, for the Super intendent or the Water Committee to interfere and bring about a change, but where two er mere places are con nected together, by means of pipes and spigets through one meter Mi only ene person known in the transaction on the receipt books it is entirely wrong and the authorities should Investigate the eatire system, flad these troubles If such exist and have them corrected at once. It may look legitimate ia ene seoee, but it really amounts toone fam ily er busineea using poeaibly 1000 or 1600 gallons of water and paying 11.10 per month for same when in another case two famlllea or place* of business are allowed to use ? through two con venient spigots ? 2600 or 8000 gallons of water at a cost of 53 cents sach, or charging one customer twice what yon are another. The principal in the first instance is wrong, even though it 1s hud to handle, and If the last to found should be corrected by all means. And matly a father loees all Interest in the prAibition movement when the baby cjries for water at 2 a. m. When s young man telto a girl she ia the only one he ever loved, its up to her to tell him to go and get a reputa tion. A man spends a good portion of his time deceiving himself, and a woman spends a good portion of hers before a mirror. Ita the same thing.
