THE PUBLIC SUPPORTS THE
PRESIDENT.
President Wilson is receiving
the most stalwart support from the
public that any president has re
ceived in fifty years, and any Dem
ocrat who cannot approve the lead
ership of President Wilson should
certainly have his sanity, patriot
ism, or intelligence examined by
an expert because he is evidently
wrong in one or more of these
points.
CURRENCY BILL.
The currency bill which has
been introduced in both houses of
Congress is being discussed in
every town and hamlet in the land.
The thing that puzzles so many is
that the bill deals with our greatest
problem in such a simple and ef
ficient way. While it takes the
power of controlling our finances
absolutely out of the hands or even
the influence of Wall street, it nev
ertheless will prove a great bless
ing to our banks and will through
them prove a great blessing to all
legitimate business enterprises,
and will place the banks more com
pletely under the control of the
government than they ever have
been. The two main points of
the Currency bill are therefore ab
solute Government control of the
money of the country and the au
tomatic expansion or increase of
money according to the require
ments of business.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The 1 ariff bill is now before the
Senate for debate. It is believed
that this bill will be debated by the
Senate for four or five weeks and
that it will pass the Senate about
August 15th. The President is
very certain that the bill will pass
the Senate by a substantial majori
ty. The Democrats have fifty-one
members in the Senate but it is
likely that one or both of the Louis
iana senators will prove traitors
and vote against the bill so that
will leave 49 Democrats to pass the
bill; there is some doubt about
SchaPfroth, of Colorada, and New
lands, of Nevada. If these two
Senators should go so far as to
vote against the bill it is very cer
tain that Poindexter. of Washing
ton, "Progressive" will vote with
the Democrats, thereby making the
votes stand forty-eight for and forty-eight
against the bill, causing a
lie. In that event Vice-President
Marshall will cast the deciding
vote and pass the bill.

It was that variety John D., jr.
took for his Sunday School text
when he likened the making of a

And yet one wonders what the

HATTIE LEE BOUNDS.
This Excellent Christian Woman
Passes to Her Inheritance on
The Other Side Funeral Was
At Emporia Saturday.
Mrs. Hattie Lee Bounds, beloved
wife of Clayton P. Bounds, died
at her home in South Weldon
Thursday evening, July I Oth, at
8:30 o'clock; aged 29 years, 5
months and 8 days. She died of
that most dreaded disease, cancer.
Mrs. Bounds was a devoted
member of the Methodist Church
here and she was a splendid Chris
tian woman. She was of a bright,
happy, joyous disposition and en
joyed life. Her death is peculiarly
sad. Sometime ago it was found
that she had a cancer on the side
ol her neck, and she was taken to
the most eminent specialists in
Richmond and New York for
treatment. Her husband spared
neither pains nor expense,
but it was found thai no permanent
relief could be given, and far some
lime she has realized that the end
was near. She did not shrink
from death, knowing in whom she
trusted, but she was young, full of
life, had a sweet home, two pretty
children and a devoted husband.
Naturally she warned to live, but
she did not rebel. Quietly and
sweetly she accepted the decree
and calmly gave directions to her
heart broken household as to her
funeral, the care of her children
and other instructions as to the
keeping together of her household.
Mrs. Bounds was before mar
riage Miss Hattie Lee, a daughter
of Sheriffs. W. Lee, of Greens
ville county, Va. She is survived
by her husband, two children, her
father, four brothers and five sis
ters, viz: W. 1. Lee, L. M. Lee, S.
E. Lee and Jesse Lee; Mrs. J. J.
Taylor, Mrs, F. G. Lewis, Mrs. A.
G. Slate and Misses Bettie and
Lula Lee.
The remains were taken to her
former home at limporia, Va.,
Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock and
the funeral service took place Sat
urday afternoon at half three
o'clock, from the Fmporia M. E.
Church. A large number of Wel
don friends went over to pay the
last sad tribute and in Emporia
there were signs of grief on every
hand and from seven doors hung
the sign of mourning. The service
was feelingly conducted by Rev.
Mr. Peters, pastor of the
Emporia M. E. Church, assisted
by Rev. J. A. Hornaday, pastor of
the Weldon Methodist Church.
The interment was in the family
square and the mound was literally
covered with beautiful floral offer
ings sent in by friends from Wel
don and by friends of Emporia and
; other places.
in our midst and was warmly wel
comed. She soon made scores of
friends by her sunny, happy dis
position and this community is
better for her having lived in it,
and poorer now, that she has de
parted, ne'er to return.
j how comforting to know that they
i mourn not as those without hope.
It is appointed unto all flesh to die,
; once, but in that He conquered
death and the grave and lives
again, just so surely will she rise
again, for she is not dead, but
sleepeth. Blessed, comforting
thought,

RESOLUTIONS OF LOVE
! AND RESPECT.
Whlkkas, The great Ruler of
the Universe has, in his infinite
wisdom, removed from our midst
our worthy and esteemed co-laborer,
Mrs. Hattie Lee Bounds, and
Whereas, Tne intimate rela
tion held during her membership
with the Daughters of the Burden
Bearer's Circle of King's Daugh
ters makes it fitting that we record
our appreciation of her, therefore
Resolved, That the wisdom
and ability which she exercised in
our Circle's work by counsel,
service and funds and the sunshine
which she shed on all who came
in contact with her, be held in
grateful remembrance.
Resolved, That the removal of
such a one from our midst leaves
a vacancy and shadow that will be
deeply realized by all members
of the Circle and its friends.
Resolved, That we in behalf
of the King's Daughters ex
press our tenderest sympathy
with the devoted husband, chil
dren and relatives of the deceased.
We pray God's sustaining grace
be with them in their bereavement.

resolutions be spread on the min

29 Beautiful Years. We of
the White Ribbon band are sad be
cause of the going away of our
loved sister, Hattie Lee Bounds,
to the City of Life. It may well
be said of her she lived long and
well, and victory crowned she has
now attained a regal estate.
The bow of white ribbon pinned
on her quiet bosom is a link which
unites to the holy white throne of
Jesus, whose blood cleansed her
from every earthly stain.
"She shall walk in white robes"
is the promise
To the faithful who follow their
Lord.
In garments all spotless as lilies
To the City of Life she was called
to go
Where angels now sing in her
honor,
While on earth she wore the White
Ribbon bow.

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK.
Dodson's Liver Tone (lets a Pour
Square Quarantee W.M.Cohen's
Drug Store.
When an article is sold a drug
gist who is willing to give his per
sonal guarantee, it's a mighty
strong proof of real merit.
Thai's exactly the case with
Dodson's Liver Tone. It is a
pleasant-tasting, vegetable remedy
for a slow and sluggish liver.Since
Dodson's Liver Tone came on the
market the sale of calomel has
gone 'way down. The reason is
simply this: Dodson's Liver Tone
is safe and harmless and guaran
anteed to be satisfactory Calomel
is olten uncertain, sometimes dan
gerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of a day's work and maybe
send you to bed.
W. M. Cohen sells Dodson's
Liver Tone and guarantees it. Eor
you and for your children, it's a
good thing to keep a bottle always
in the house.
W. M. Cohen will give you
your money back if you think
Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth
the price. "Keep your liver work
ing and your liver will not keep
you from working," is good ad
vice to go by.
