"IH Resign If I Don't Prove Moore
-v a Traitor."
Washington, Jan. 6. Representative
Kobert E. Lee, of Schuylkill County,
rote the following letter to J. H.
Moore tonight:
"You have puWicly stated that I
insulted you and that my rejections
npon your newly discovered Attitude
towards the dry dock were unworthy
of a member of Congress. In my
district my word is regarded as good
as my bond. I herewith challenge yu
to appear at the Mayor's Office in
City Hall, before the Mayor, the Com-
mittees and the same newspaper men
who were present when the question
of your attitude was raised, and when
you made certain statements which I
questioned. I will prove that the
charges I made with reference to
your misstatements, were correct, or
failing to do so, I will resign from
Congress.
"Very truly yours,
ROBERT E LEE."
In explaining his challenge, Mr. Lee
gave out the following statement to
night: "Mr. Moore made certain mis-statements
at the Mayor's office which I
challenged. His first misstatement
was that both Secretary Daniels and
former Secretary Meyer recommend
ed the big dry dock for Norfolk.
"In answer to that, I said that Sec
retary Meyer had said that he would
leave the selection of the site to the
judgment of the Committee on Naval
Affiairs.
"The next misstatement made by
Mr. Moore was that the present dock
at League Island could accommodate
the largest battleship that could come
up the Delaware river.
"In answer to that I said that the
gentleman was again making a mis
statement and that he knew it.
"His next misstatement was made
after I had charged him with offering
an amendment to the Rivers and Har
bors bill, which was under debate on
the floor of the House January 27,
1913, when Mr. More offered the fol
lowing amendment:
"'Add as new paragraph, page 47,
after line 2: Philadelphia, Pa., to con
nect the Delaware River with the
back channel at the Navy Yard, with
a view of securing a width and depth
sufhcie:Tt to accommodate the largest
naval vessel afloat.'
"And when I charged Mr.' Moore
with offering this amendment for the
purpose of hurting the fight for the
dry dock, he said he did not offer the
amendment until I had failed to get
the dry do?k amendment in the naval
bill. I again cnarged him with mak
ing a misstatement.
-"Mr. More said that I insulted him
and that my .reflections on his newly
discovered attitude' were unworthy of
a Member of Congress.
"The misstatements which I at
tributed to Mr. Mocre were the pamo
as I have outlined. I still say they
were misstatements. I still say that
Mr. Moore's attituds hr.s bean one cf
sly. opposition to the dry doc!: propo
sition and Avhen. there h an enemy in
the camp the people should know it.
"It is for those reasons that I have
challenged Mr. Moore to mcst me be
fore the citizens of Philadelphio who
were witnesses to the questions that
arose last Friday. They should hear
the proofs and Mr. Moore's defense,
if he has one to offer.
"I do not make statements which I
cannot prove. When I charge anoth
er man with making misstatements,
I feel that I should present the proof
or failing to do so, resign my seat
in Congress. This, then, is the chal
lenge that I issue to Mr. Moore. I
will prove that he made the misstate
ments that . I charged against him, or
failing in that will resign my seat.
"I feel that it is mv dutv to do
this my duty not merely to my own
constituents, bvt to all the people of
Pennsvlv
vnHo As a . snmnl nf
persistence cf Elr. Moore in ma': ing
misstatements, even with regard to
matters which do not figure in the
dry dock matter, he stated publicly
that I voted for Mr. Bryan's peace
resolution. I did not vote for any

of Mi: - ... ", o:.e of the ablest mem
bers from tha West, and I would have
voted for a Bryan peace resolution if
there had been one.: ;
"If it is any satisfaction to Mr.
Moore, I take pleasure in stating that
I am for international peace, but un
til there are definite guarantees of
such peace, I am strongly in favor of
an adequate navy and the building Of
battleships so that the dignity and
honor of the nation may be maintain
ed. Incidentally, the best assurance
of peace is an adequate navy.
"There is no member of the Penn
sylvania delegation who believes more
strongly in harmony and pulling to
gether for the welfare of the State
than I To. I have the welfare of my
istrict and the whole State at heart.
I am willing to work with every mem
ber of the delegation, regardless of
politics! But there should be no sulk
ing in the tents and no backfire. The
best way for the State to push for
ward is to smoke out the supposed
friends, who, thinking solely for per
sonal ambition, try to thwart those
who are working sincerely and un
selfishly for the good of all the peo
ple of the State."
Mr. Lee wrote to Councilman Len
non asking that he arrange a hearing
in the Mayor's office for 2:30 o'clock
Friday afternoon.
Mr. W. E. Sharpe Is Honored.
Mr. V. E. Sharpe, manager of the
Alamance Insurance & Real Estate
Company, was greatly honored by the
Southern Life & Trust Company, the
insurance company his company rep
resents in this county, at a banquet
given all the agents of that company
at Greensboro last week.
Mr. Sharpe was given a handsome
loving cup, for having made the best
record in writing insurance during the
entire year, and $200 in gold as one
of the three who wrote $200,000 insur
ance during the year.
The Alamace Insuance & Real Es
tate Company has led during the past
years in writing more insurance than
any other agency for the Southern
Life Insurance Company. Mr. Sharpe
was elected first president of the
$100,000 club, and each year his com-
pany has been a leader in the 'amount
of insurance written . and business
done, and always received the honors
that were given at the annual meet
ings. The Southern Life Insurance Com
pany has over one and a quarter mil
lion dollars of insurance in force in
this county, the same having been
written by this firm. , Besides this,
this company invests through the
company, of Mr. Sharpe practically
ail the money it receives onpremi
ums in. this county, loaning the money
directly through this agency, and
some cf the largest and best business
Iiouhcs have been built with money
loaned through this company, besides
hundreds of dwellings in and around
Lhis city, in fact this company has
!;eo.i of wonderful benefit to this coun
ty in its development, thus demon
j.tratig the value cf the home insur
ance companies, to the local communi
ties. We congratulate Mr. Sharpe and
his company, and his assistants, up
n the splendid record they are mak
ing, and we corgratulate them upon
he fact that they represent a com
pany that has done and is doing so
much for our town and county, and
i we hope that he will always lead in
business done by the Southern Life Ir
j -urance Company. ;

Lespedeza or Japan Clover.
A reader inquires about lespedeza,
as to its value and whether it reseeds
itself or baa to be sowed each year.
Lespedeza or Japan clover is : fl
ing to be recognized as one of the
most valuable hay and pasture plants
in the South. It is nothing- new, and
will probably be found growing wild
and unrecognized. Qri 90 per cent, cf
the farms in our terrtory, Ordinar
ily it has a trailing habit of growth
probably due to the plants being scat
tered thinly on the land, but when
sown thickly on moderately fertile
cultivated land the plants grow high
enough to mow,
Lespedeza furnished excellent sum
mer pasturage in connection with
Bermuda grass. To get it started on
a pasture it is only necessary to sow
from a peck to b half bushel of seed
to the acre in March and lightly har
row them in. So light a seeding may
not give a perfect stand the first year,
but the clover reseeds itself and will
soon be a good stand.
Lespedeza as a hay crop after oats
is becoming very popular in many
parts of the South, and justly so.
Peas are a great crop, but sowing
them after oats is often a difficult
matter. The work usually comes in
June, when the weather is hot, the
ground hard, and everybody on the
farm busy with other crops. Then
the peas must either be sowed -broad
cast at rather heavy expense for seed
or sowed in drills and cultivated.
Lespedeza after oats obviates nearly
all these difficulties. The seed should
be sowed broadcast on the oats some
time during March, depending on the
latitude, at the rate of a bushel to
a bushel and a half per acre, and
lightly harrowed in with a spike-
tooth harrow. After the oats are cut,
the lespedeza begins to grow and
usually by September turmshes a
good crop of hay. After the hay is
cut, ample seed are matured to reseed
the land for another year. The hay
is easy to cure and is rich in feeding
value. Lespedeza is fully equal to
cowpeas as a soil-improver.
The Best Pasture Combination.
A reader has 15 acres that he
wishes to sow in oats and then make
of it a permanent pasture, and asks
what he can best use.
In nearly all parts of the cotton
States it is doubtful if a pasture com
bination can be found, that will excel
Bermuda grass, but clover and les
pedeza. Bermuda grass is more near
ly at home on every soil type in the
Soutn than perhaps any grass w now
nave, and furnishes excellent grazing
from May until November. It is best
planted by dropping pieces of Ber
muda sod, say two feet apart and
lightly covering them; but the seed
are also being used successfully.
bur clover is the iuea pasture plant
with which to supplement Bermuda,
liius furnishing practically 12 months
grazing, bur clover seed in the bur
i-iivjuia L,e sown in August at the rate
if four or nve bushels of seed to the
acre, if a good stand is to be 6btain
cu Uie nrst season, but the seed usu
ally cojt auout il.uO a bushel, so
it is best to buy a few bushels ana

Catarrh of the throat is not only an
annoying disease of Itself, but it ex
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
Into our throats numerous atmos
pheric germs. Disease Berms of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat Is healthy the system Is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But if the throat Is raw and
punctured with numerous little ul
cers, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle
the throat as explained in the new
"Ills of Life," sent free by the Peruna
Co., Columbus, Ohio. '
Mr. Barnes says: "I had throat I
trouble and had three doctors treat- I
ing me. All failed to do me any
good, and pronounced my health gone.
I concluded to try Peruna, and after
using four bottles can say I was en
tirely cured."
