G CON Git ESS IN EXTRA SES SION. 71|Xt Democratic Revision of Tariff Since August, 1804— President Wilson Delivers His Own Naiaie. - For the first time in eighteen years Congress assembled Mon day with both its branches under control of the Democrats, and with a Democratic president to eo operate in shaping its policies, and to approve its .acts. The tarrlff law to be passed by the special session that opened will be first general Democratic re vision of the revenue laws since Hie sto et August 27, 1894. known to history as the “ Wilson Qorman law,” and wbk^ Frcol j dent Cleveland slipwe* 40 be-/ come a law Without his signs-1 i tureV A complete revision of the tarrlff laws; modification of the nation’s currency system; pro pusals for Philippine independ ence, for repeal of the Panama Canal free-toll provision, and for the immediate construction of government owned railways in Alaska, are the chief problems confronting the first sesion of the Sixty third Congress. Summoned by president Wil son for the express purpose of revising the tariff, the new Con gress faces extreme pressure from many quarters for early action on the other subjects named. Whether any of these, other than the tarriff, will be taken up during the special season depends upon the pro gress made with the tariff revi sion, and the success that may attend preliminary work upon a general currency reform bill. The fight for Democratic tariff revision began in Congress Tues day. Conferences and party plans, which have held the stage for weeks past, gave way to the first open steps for passage of the new tariff bIH. President Wilson’s personally delivered message, calling upon .his a^arty-^assiatonte^ria ■ fcwth. houses to* speedily enact * the party’s pledges of tariff revision, was followed by a caucus of Dem ocratic house mem bore, which will continue for several days and in which Democrats will at tempt to settle their differences and agree upon support of the Underwood bill. The Democratic tariff revision bill was completed Friday night with the exception of a final de cision upon sugar. From begin ning to end it is modeled in accord with the ideas of President Wil son, with wools, meats and many other foodstuffs and clothing ma terials on the free list; with low duties upon all agricultural pro ducts and foodstuffs that are not free; and with the tariff on chemi cals and steel and other commer cial products cut far below the present protective rates. ———- -V The Late J.

The Southern Express began April 1 to keep separate book* on all liqnor shipments but ax imination of the ledgers showi nothing radical in the law. This was done as a compliance with the search and seizure law that passed the last General As sembly. It is made a law so that the express companies'- may not aid, either by ^accident or by de sign, the violation of the whiskey laws. The officials of the com pany have instructed their em the leMer’aSSTspiifi^o&^ili law. The opening of the new books created a deal of cariosity, bat it is a simple matter. The sec tlon‘ which provides for this Beperate book tells the whole purport of the law,. AU express companies, rail road companies, or other trans portation companies doing busi in this State are requested here by to keep a separate book . in which shall be entered immedi ately upon receipt thereof the name of the person to whom the liquor ir sbiped, the amount and kind received, and the date when received, the date when deliver ed and by whom delivered and to whom delivered, after which the consignee shall be required to sign his name, or, if he cannot write, shall make his mark in the presence of a witness before such liquor is delivered to such consignee, and. which said book shall be open for inspection kd any officer or citizen of the State, county, Or municipality and time during business boors of the company, and said book shall constitute prima facie evidence of the facts therein and will be admissible in any of the courts of this State. Any express company, railroad company oi other transportation company violating the provisions of this seotion shall be guilty of a mis demannor: Provided, upon the filing of a certificate signed by s reputable physician or two rep u table citizens, that the consignee in person, then the said comp any is authorized to deliver any package to the agent of said con signee and the agent shall sign the name of the consignee and bis own name, and the certificate shall be filed on record. Accepts the Advice of His Can did Friends. Ststsville Landmark. The following unique anounee ment appeared in the Sanford Express last week: At the earnest solicitation of many friends, I have decided not to be a candidate for post master. J. U. GUNTER If Mr. Gnnter bad left out that little word “not” his annoucement would have been in the usual form Nearly all candidates become can didates “at the earnest solicits tion Of friends,'' to hear the candidates tell it. Sometimes their friends, if they were can did, could tell a different story. So far as The Landmark knows this is the flrst time on record where a candidate has publicly stated that he will notbeacandi date because his friends have asked him not to be a candidate. The friends of aspirants for office would often do them a good tun by giving them the advice Mr Gunter says he has received from his friends. But usually it is embarrassing to discourage the aspiration of a candidate one is likely to have his motive) impugned and to make an emem; out of a friend; and so we" oftei allow.our friends spend time and money m a hope less race when the part of a true friend would have been to saj “don't.Whatever may be Mr Gunter’s private feelings, he ha; accepted the advice of his candid friends._| , Convinced that public jSusines would be expedited by the pn* tioe, President Wilson hasdecid ed to set aside two hours each week for “heart-to heart" talks with the newspaper correspond ents. Obe hour will be devoted each Tuesday morning ufllppi other hour will be given ' the same purpose Thursday at ternoons. The President will discuss administration policies and sketch his official program mes, much of the matter discus sed necessarily being in conli deuce and solely for the guidance of the writers. ^ A Card.

I don’t know why it affected me in the man ner it did. But, somehow, it was a forecast—a threat of fright full things to come. All the time the sound grew and I noticed that the queer cloud in the sky was growing larger. It was black, and cone shaped, with the small end to wajd the earth. Then I knew what was going to happen I was fascinated. A moment before there had been light, clear and white, with just a gentle wind to ruffle the few clouds in the sky. Now all was changed. The gentle whistle had grown towrtoar and strange mutterings filled the air. Then, all of a sudden, 1 saw that the high cloud had enveloped everything For a moment my heart seemed to be drawn from me as if by a powerful bellows. My face was peppered with flying gravel— there was a terrific roar, a shud dering of the earth and the cyclone had crossed our trail not fifty feet behind us. For a moment I could not cateh myjsreath. My face was stinging with the sand and gravel that had been hurled against me 1 went inside the car.

[ no one was sweeter or more beau tifully pictured the noble spirit which has gone than did the words of a little girl of 12 sum mers. A few months ago Mr. Phillips was a member of a din ner party at a home in the city which is blessed by the presence of a bright charming little miss. The heart of this little girl soon warmed to “Colonel Bob” and while the older members of the party gave themselves to the more serious subjects, Mr. Phil lips drew back to a secluder cor ner and with the little girl safely enthroned upcn his knee spent one of the hours which brought him the keenest enjoyment of life. He told of his own child hood, stories of his days on the \ farm and of his dogs and kittens, of the birds and the many beau tiful things. In turn the little girl found an attentive listener when she told of her own joys and described in her childlike manner the games and animals which she liked best. The little girl and the big warm hearted I man parted that night as firm j friends. Yesterday morning the parents of this household spoke of his death. The little girl who had felt the influence of his genial disposition and noble character burst into tears. "(Mi. lie is the big, fine man who talked about nice, beautiful things all the time.” she said; as she wiped back he# tears. In that sentence ibis little girl had given expression to a won derfully sweet tribute. In &r hour’s company she came to knov “Bob” Phillips as the man whe thought and talked of nice things and as the man who had planted in her mind the desire to think and talk of the joys of life. If he could not say good he did not speak Men daily associated with him could not recall the time when he, by act or word, had given expression to an ugly thought; they knew him only as a comforter, a man who had the knack of giving voice to words which drove out bitterness, light ened sorrow and buoyed dejec lion.
