sheboro Cornier STE DOLLAR A YEAR HAMMER, Editor. I the Post Office at A sheboro a , Matter. inE .avJST EXTRAVAGANT CONGRESS. As we have published heretofore, the Coogress which has just closed is the most extravagant that ever convened in Washington. Un matched millions of the hard earned dollars of the common people of this country were appropriated recklessly and without any great advantage to the public at large. The startling increase of these fed eral appropriations is surprising when we consider the vast amount of nearly a thousand million dollars during the last half eefsion of the 50 th Congress. The dollars which are collected from the people in taxes sLould be expended so as to bring the best re sults; and when it is wasted as extravagantly as has been the case with the last Congress, it is radically wrong. As for ourselves we do not believe in collecting any taxes from the people except those which are absolutely required for the necessi ties of the government. The squand ered milllous which are appropriated at every Congress come from the pockets of those who are least able to pay it The money is expended by the party which is now in control of the national government as though it grew on trees and could be gath ered for the asking. These reckless legislators do noo seem to realize that eve:y dollar of money is earned by some one. The money appro priated and expended since last De cember Ly the Congress of the United States amounts to 1.10 for every man, woman and child in the entire country; it means over seven hundred dollas to every family in the laud. They voted millous for battleships and for keeping up the Phillipines, and more than a million dollars in increasing their own pay. Such a thing as economy is unthought of by the controlling powers at Wash ington. The old-fashioned man with good common sense believes ru reducing expenses where it can be done with safety, but those who train in the school of the trust3 and combines favor extravagant and reckless expenditures. In order to justify their course in keeping up the extravagantly high tariff taxes if a surplus accumulates in the treasury they contrive in some way to get rid of it by extravagant ex penditures. THE LEGISLATURE. The enterprising News & Observ er issued a forty page paper on last Sunday, a most complete and use ful edition containing a review of the important work of the last gen eral assembly, together with a write up of the personuel of the members. Many acts are published in full. Among the laws published in full are the anti-trust laws and many others. Theeditor'of thi Courier has compiled from this edition and from a series of articles published during the last three weeks in the Kaleish Evening Times the sub stance of the more important laws enacted by the legislature. This article will be published in the next usue of the Courier. HARRISON GETS 20 YEARS. Convicted of kidnapping Child Defen dant was given the Limit of the Law. Joshua Harrison, who has been on trial at Elizabeth City for several days, was Friday found guilty, of kidnapping the 9-year-old son of former State Senator S. M.
