Washington, July 24. "What has the House accomplished at the extra session?'' Majority Leader Underwood was asked. "A complete- reformation , of the House rules," "Passed the Canadian recipro city trade agreement. " lA bill requiring publicity of campaign funds before election. "A resolution providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. "A resolution authorizing the admission to the Union of Arizona and New Mexico. . "The Farmers' Free List Bill." "A wool bill that reduces the average ad valorem duty on manu factured woolens from 90 per cent to 42 1-2 per cent." " To this list will be added a revision of the cotton schedule. "In reforming the rules of the House we have taken . from the Speaker the veto power and con trol over legislation, which had for ears, and 'organized the House along Democratic lines.

X' e suspect that some of yau are tired of this subject and are saying that our preaching will do no good, so we had as well let up on it but we are not going to dd it. While we do not want to tire or bore any of our readers, still, good friends it is of such vital impor tance to you that we are quite sure one of these days you are going to see it our way andf some thing will be done. Stop, and think: just for a mo ment. Travel towards the North and you rind Halifax county, Va., building good roads; go East and Granville county has built miles of good roads, almost touching cadom road, and co the West even Caswell has awakened to the fact in along time.

"The bil1 Providing for publicity this: Unless we want to see the I of campaign funds and -ftontrib- trade which we have been enjoy ing for these many years slip from us we will have to give them equal facilities which will enable them to reach our markets. The Southern Railway Co. re- --alizes this fact, as evidenced by the Good Roads train they have S3nt out to every town along their line, giving lectures and showing how good roads can be built. Personal interest, you say. Of course they have, and every farmer who works for good roads has a personal interest, and if our merchants, manufacturers and real estate men do not awake to the fact that they have a person al interest they will be the losers. We call your attention to an ar ticle from Dr. W. L. Foushee as to this question and we hope every reader of this paper will read it carefully. We must have good roads why delay the matter. Mr. W. S. Morton, who has just returned from Smithfiejd where he surveyed twenty miles of good roads and built ten miles, says this County can build good roads for less money than any Chanty of his knowledge. The ' sand-clay road is the thing, and that they can be built with the present epuipment for some thing like two hundred a mile, and for five hundred dollars a mile they can build the best most modern sand-clay roads. At these figures one hundred thousand dollars would build two hundred miles, almost enough to put a good road by every man's door. And your taxes would not be raised ten cents on the hun dred dollars. t But we will not. utors before election will have a distinct tendency to tmrifv' our elective system.

"The wool bill very.greatly re duce the cost of woolen clothing to the people of the United States. The average reduction in duties is from 90 per cent, to 42 12 per cent., but on the cheaper com modities such as the poor people of the country use the reduction is very . much greater. . Some blankets have been cut from 150 per cent, to 25 per cent. The same is true ofmany cheaper ar ticles of woolen goods. "We expect to send the cotton bill to the Senate the first week in August. "These measures demonstrate to the county the downward re vision of the tariff that the Demo cratic party is willing to enact in to law. Every schedule will re ceive similar treatment if the people will give the Democrats power to do so by . electing a Democratic President, Senate and House of Representatives next time."
