The Week InCongress.
So far the extraordinary session of
Congress has been plain sailing for
the well-organized Democratic maj
ority in the House of Representatives,
but, in the view of a strong and heal
thy minority, there are breakers ahead
By the free list bill, approved by the
Democratic caucus and favorably re
ported by the new committee on ways
and means, the rapid pace of legislative
progress is expected to receive a sud
den check. The mojority leaders rea-
lia!e that the bill cannot 1^ rushed and
they are preparing to meet the vig
orous assault upon it by the minority
leaders in a prolonged debate.
For Complicity in a Dina-
mite Tragedy.
JwhnJ. McNamara, secretary and
treasurer of the International Associa
tion of Bridge Structual Iron Workers,
was arrested Saturday charged with
complicity with the dynamiting of the
Lost Angeles Times building October
1. 1910, when 21 men were killed.
The warrant against McNamara
charges him with murder in complicity
in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times building, and further alleges
thst he was implicated in an explosion
in the Llewellyn iron Works, Los An
geles, December 24, 1910, Detective
Burns, in a statement after the arrest
of McNamara, said further develop
ments were expected to disclose the
perpetrators of explosions directed
against employers in this city, in Oma
ha, Neb-. Columbus, Indiana, and other
places.
A1TA6KTARIFF MONDAY
Democratic House to Begin
Its Work of Revision
The first attack of the Democratic
Houme of Representatives upon the
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law began Monday. With the Canadian
reciprocity bill disposed of as far as
the House is concerned, the lines of
battle are being drawn over the bill
introduced by Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee and
approved by the Democratic caucus,
placing on the free list many manu
factured articles calculated to be of
benefit to the farmers of the country.
That the bill will pass the House is
unquestioned, but there will be a
turbulent and prolonged debate and
the division of the final vot« will be far
different from the vote on the reciprocity
bill Republican leaders declare that
at least three-fourths of the sixty-seven
Republicans who voted with the Demo
cratic majority for the reciprocity bill
will be found this time standing valian
tly by the minority and the Republican

Clements Land Co,
Get Good Seed.
Now is the time the farcers of the
state are preparing for the harvest
time which means the money they shall
realize and upOn which thei'* living
depends. But what i^iali it be? To no
inconsiderable measure it depeads upon
what kind of ^eeds are sown. Often
absolute failurea are caused by planting
poor seed that will not grow or, still
worse, seed that is badly adulterated
with serious weeds, which entirely ruin
the land for certain afi^cultural pur
poses, often upon which the farmer
most depends.
That there is a gfreat difference in
the farm seeds sold in the state is
forcibly shown by the difference in the
resalts of the analyses made, at the
Seed Testine Laboratory of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, cooperating with
the United States Department. For
example, the results of the 125 tests
of Red Clover seed made this spring
by the Seed Laboratory ranged all the
way from 50 per cent to 99.6 per cent
Pure Seed and from 20 per cent to 97
per cent Germination, ^me contained
no weed seeds a^t all, while others con
tained more than 90,000 to the pound.
Some samples contained more than 50
per cent of Dodder or Love vine, which
is the worst of all pests that occur in
Clovers and Alfalfa. This great dif
ference in the quality of seed is not
only true in case of Red Clover but of
all the farm seeds.
Not only the loss of money paid for
the seeds, which is really a small item,
but the failure to obtain crops can be
prevented by knowing the value of the
seed which is planted. The Depart
ment will make tests of all agricultural
and vegetable seeds for any farmer in
the state free of charge and reports
will be sent to him promptly. In case
the seed does not come up to the
standard of good seed the lot may be
returned to the dealer from whom it
was purchased and the money refunded
or a food quality of seed given in ex
change which ever the purchaser deairea.
^n submitting samples to be tested, for
the smaller seeds, such as Red Clover
and the grasses, one half of a teacup
will be sufficent; for the larger seeds,
such as the cereals, more should be sent.
Address all samples to the Seed
Testing Laboratory, Department of
Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C., with the
following information: retail price of
seed and name and address of dealer
from whom it was purchased.
HURT BY A TRAIN.
Joseph Cates Loses a Limb
While Catching at One
Joseph Categ, a Hillsboro citizen,
lost his left foot Sunday afternoon in
an effort to catch the westbound train
as it passed West Durham.
But for the work of Chief Engineer
Warner, of West Durham, he would in
all probability have lost his life. Mr.
Warner saw him fall and the cars pass
over his foot. He jerked the injured
man out and saved his life.
Mr. Cates had been to Durham ' and
thought, of course, the westbound
train stopped at West Durham. In
stead, it makes fast time there. He
caught at It, fell and that’s all to the
story.
CONFESSES THE CRIME
Dynamiting of Los Angles
Times Building Admitted
By Prisoner.
Capt Stephen Wood, rhief of the
Chicago detective bureau, said Satur
day night that a full confession had
i)een obtained from one oi the men

now under arest and others sought by
detectives.
According to Captain Wood it de
scribes in detail the dynamiting of
buildings, railroad trains and facto
ries where conflicts between union and
non-union labor existed. The loss of
many lives and the destructon of
property valued at almost $2,000,000
is said to be detailed. He said the
confession was placed in the possession
of attorneys representing the National
Erectors’ Association and has been
aent to Los Angeles to be used in the
trial of the cases against the men

LOOKING AFTER HIS POLI
TICAL FRIENDS.
The New Berne Journal in
commenting editorialy upon Con
gressman Kitchen speak in con
gress a week ago, says:
“But now “on the morning after,’*
from a democratic view point what is
the gain? Is thjs thing actual gain
to demecratic interests that is just
now all important, from both a party
view and also the stand of those who
want to see legislation that shall help
the people; Personal campaign thunder,
sought by any democrot at this time, is
most unfortunate. It means injury to
democratic interests. Particularly was
Mr Kitchin unhappy, democratically
politically considered, in attacking Sen
ator Simmons, or rasing th^ republican
laugh against fis fellow mensbers,
Messrs. Webb and Gucger.
Looking at Congressman Kitchin’s
reciprocity speech, going over It and
considering it with its too general
hearty acceptance by his political
friends, the republican enemy, and the
political shafts of scorn cast upon his
own party members, it looks as tho
the gain was on the republican side.
It seems democratic political fate when *
the promised land of national success
comes in view for the party to stop by
the way side, and its leaders fritter
away opportunities, to play the poli
tical game of personal advancment,
and thus weaken the party internally,
when its entire strength, of each
member, sould be against the political
enemy.”
Congressman Gudger in com
menting upon Kitchen^s speach
says:
“The country demanded tariff legis
lation but not personal criticism. Mr.
Kitchin’s words of abuse of three North
Carolina members, he said, came as a
surprise. He declared that Mr, Kitchin
should not have impugned the motives
of his colleagues. Mr. Kitchin, he de
clared, would cut a pretty figure
marching with Payne, of. New York,
and Crumpacker, of Indiana, the one
the republican floor leader and the
other the greatest enemy of the south.”
Mr. Kitcken seems infinitly
more interested in looking after
his, and his brother political
fences than he does after his
country, or his parties interest.
Dog Law Passed By the
Legislature.
The last Legislature did past a
State-wide dog . law. The dog isn't
taxed or restrained of his liberty but
his owner is made liable for damages,
provided the owner id worth the dam
ages. Here ia the law:
“Section 1. That if any dag, not
being at the time on the premises of
the owner or person having charge
thereof, shall kill or injure any live
stock or fowls, the owner or f>er8on
having such dog in charge shall be
liable for ^e damages suatained by
the injury, killing, dr maiming of any
live stock, and costs of suit.**

The republican policy of reciprocity
is to preserve protection by knocking
off a little of the tariff on one thing if
some other nation will knock off a little
on something else. It is simply the
op>en door for a trade between two
nations which regard each other’s
^ , , u V J • t mff as robbery. You will never hear
