He presented the pen that had writ ten the word "Woodrow" to Represen tative Undeitwood and the one tha completed his name to Senator Sim mons, both of whom bowed their appreciation. In Impressive silence the president arose and delivered in easy, natural tones an extemporaneous speech thai brought prolonged applause. He de clared the Journey of legislative ac compllshments had not been comple ted: that a great service had been done for the rank and file ot the coun try, but that the second step In th. emancipation of business was curren cy reform. "GO THE REST OF THE JOURNEY.' He earnestly Called upon his col leagues to go "the rest of the jour ney" with fresh lmipulee. "Gentlemen, I feel a very peculiar pleasure," said the president, "in wha 1 have just done by way of taking part in the completion of a great piece of business. It was a pleasure which is very hard to exipress in words which are adequate to express the feeling; because the feeling that I have is that we have done the rank and file of the people ot this country a great service. It is hard to speak of these things without seeming to go oft Into cam paign eloquence, but that, is not my feeling." ! "DOING JUSTICE ALL ROUND."

CI RRESCT THE FOCI'S. Asheboro Post Office Fight. A dispatch from Washington to tha Charlotte Observer, dated Saturday, had the following about the Asheboro postofflce Iflght: The people ot AsneDoro are one step nearer getting a democratic post master following the action of tnc of profound gratitude that working with the splendid men who have car ried this thing through with studious attention and doing justice all round. I should have had part In serving tin people of this country, as we have been striving to serve them ever since I can remember. "I have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy and know men standing around me who can say the same thing, who have been waiting to sea the things done which it was neces sary to do in order that there might be justice In the United States. A SOLEMN MOMENT. "And so it Is a solemn moment that brings such a business to a conclu s-lon and I hope I will not be thought to be demanding too much of myself or of my colleagues, when I say that senate committee today n sending th;j tMg great M ,( jg U)e acconvpIiBn.

Auman's appointment was , recom mended by Representative Page about three months ago and Immediate!, grave charges were filled against bint concerning his morality. These were denied by Auman and bis trienas wuo made affidavits refunding them. They satisfied the department and his nom ination was sent to the senate. Simi lar charges were then filled with th.-. senate committee, by William C. Ham mer of Asheboro candidate for Dis trict Attorney, and his friends. The committee has suggested several so lutiotts to those most Interested, all of which were rejected and today turned the matter back to the depart ment. ' Bishop Kllgo Dedicated New Church at Advance. The Sentinel of Saturday said: Bishop John C. Kllgo, ot Durham, was here this afternoon en route to Advance, Davie county, where at 11 o'clock tomorrow he will dedicate the new Methodist Episcopal church, 'ine congregation and pastor have arrang ed for a "field day." There will be three services. They will mark the hearlnnlnz of revival services to be continued through the coming week. The pastor will he assisted by Rev. Plato T.

We have set the business ot this country free from those conditions which have made monopoly not only possible but in a sense easy and natural. But there Is no use taking away the con dltions of monopoly it we do not take away also the power to create- mo nopoly; and ft is financial, rather than a merely circumstantial and economio power, WHO SHALL AND WHO SHALL NOT? "The power to control and guide and direct the credits of the country Is the power to say who shall and who shall not build up the Industries of the country, In which direction they shall be built, and In which direction they shall not be built. We are now about to take the second step which will be the final step in setting the business of this country free. That Is what we shall do In the currency bill, which the house has already passed and which I have the utmost confi dence the senate will pass much soon er than some pessimistic individuals believe. Because the question now that this piece of work is done will arise all over the country, "for wha' do we wait?' Why should we wait to crown ourselves with consummate honor? Are we so aelf-denying that we do not wish to complete our sue cess?" Charley Is Republican, But Meant It He CoL Roosevelt on Way to South Amer lea. Theodore Roosevelt started..

The Washington correspondents had practically eliminated. Gov. Glenn from the senatorial race, but the Charlotte Observer says that Charlotte men who talked with the governor, in Raleigh last week are convinced that he wi'.l be a candidate for the senate. Taking ith the Charlotte men, Gov. Glenn is quoted as saying: 'These rumors (that lie would re ceive a federal appointment) have been groundless, and that relative t'J. the probability ot my going on the in terstate commerce commission, which recently became general, I suspect has something to do with the possibility of my entering the race for the United States senate. Governor Craig called attention in his address to the busi ness people Wednesday, that one amendment to a bill before congress has resulted in a loss of $95,000,000 to the state ot North Carolina In exces sive freight rates over which the in terstate commerce commission would have jurisdiction had- the amendment not been adopted. Now I am of the opinion that this amendment should not have received the vote of some oi the servants of the people of North Carolina and would like to see that amendment to this act repealed. "I have not announced whether or not I will be a candidate for the Unit ed States senate. I deem it too early to make such an announcement. But I dearly love a scrap, as is well known, and should I decide to make the race I Intend to make it with the same vigor and earnestness which has characterized my other public activities." That remark about the $95,000,000 is a direct reference to Senator Over man, and the remarl.s of Gov. Glenn Indicate that 1 z is getting ready for the fray nex. summer. -StateeviUe Landmaik. Law Gets This Man After a Long Walt. With all the appearance of a man who had retired from business after a successful career, Walter G. Furnald apeared as a prisoner before Unite States Commissioner Hitchcock In New York Saturday for a preliminary ex amination on an Indictment charging him with swindling through the U. S. mails. A decade ago Fernald was widely known as the guiding spirit of two promoting companies In Jersey City. Complaints were made 'hat the companies were doing a fraudulent business and indictments were presen ted against their officers. Furnald es caped arrest and fled to Euru'io. For save-i -ears he enjoyed himser in perfect safety in Paris, as the offense with which he was charged was not extraditable. Then came a desire to see old Broadway once more and In sailed for New York, evidently ngur lug that he and his case bad been " " gotten by the authorities. But post office Inspectors with long memories were on hand to greet him and ne was promptly arrested as he stepped down the gangplank. Would Hbtb Fewer and Better Coun- , try Schools. The old-fashioned one-room school- house of . the country cross-roads, within whose walls many ot the coun try's most illustrious men received the rudiments ot their education, would be entirely a thing of the past If the United States Bureau of Education had its way. Its place would be tak en by the consolidated, or centralized, school, as recommended in a bulletin Just Issued by the bureau. Wherever this change can be maae witnout too great expense and without breaking up or distlntegrating existing com munities it should he done, says the bureau. There Is -constant Improve ment In the facilities offered by the one-room school, particularly In re latin t to school work to the farm needs, tt Is reported.

Bmmett Mitchell, of Hickory,' 18 years old and clad In knee pants, entered, the register of deeds office In Newton last week and asked for the necessary papers which would make lS-vaar-old Fannie Thornebug, of Newton, his wife.

A part of tne instruction giv en the mom by the minister was tht he go and jHirohast his first pair All Eyes on the Administration's Hon ey BIU Its Pathway Beset With Obstacles. Political Washington, relieved of the long drawn-out consideration o' the tariff, will focus Its attention thU week on the second of the democratic reform measures banking and cur rency legislation. Though the administration curren cy bill easily ' passed the house, its pathway in the senate Is admittedly full of obstacles. At present the Sen ate Banking Committee has not yet begun consideration of the bill, in tending for at least 10 days more to hear prominent bankers and finance experts. Predictions at the capitol are general that for a month there after the senate committee will be at work on the measure considering numerous amendments. DIVERGENT VIEWS. While there was unanimity of opin ion on the principle of tariff revision widely divergent views are held by democratic senators on banking re form. A strong desire for a single bank with branches under govern ment control, instead of a regional reserve system of banks has made itJ appearance in the informal discus sion. Other changes of a far-reach ing character are being suggested and it is regarded generally as doubtful if a bill satisfactory to the Senate. Banking Committee can reach the floor of the senate before the middle of November. At the White House there is a confidence that the bill wil be passed this sesion or be placed on the statute books at any rate, be fore the first of the year. The presi dent wants thorough consideration of the currency bill and any improve ment that the senate can make upon the measure as passed by the house will be welcomed. His disposition nowever, is to oppose strongly any undue delay for he believes prompt revision of the banking and currency! system Is necessary to meet the com mercial expansion which be expects will follow the operation of the new tariff. BELIEF OF WILSON'. President Wilson believes a general decrease in the cost of living that will be felt by the rank and file of the country is not dependent alone on tariff revision but upon prompt re form of the nation's monetary system as well as careful amendment of ths anti-trust laws. The president's views of the effect of the tariff is In accordance with ex pressions from Representative Under wood and other democratic leaders that while reduction In some case will be immediate the general bene fits will not be apparent at once. Even though the tariff laws might brlns many Imports into this country a low rates or free of duty, the evils of price-fixing, underselling and other discriminations in restraint of trade. might in the president's opinion, de feat the fruits of tariff revision. FEAR NO ADVERSE EFFECT. None of the administration leadens entertain the slightest idea that the tariff will have any adverse effect. On the other hand in pushing forward the currency program they have pointed out that an elastic financial system Is necessary now more than ever to meet a natural enlargement of business operations following the in flux of foreign products at low duties. As soon as the December session opens, the administration expects to center its attention on an anti-trust program. There is no intention a tbe White House to draft the admin istration measure what is expected to happen Is that the members ot the house judiciary committee and the senate commitee on interstate com merce will confer early with Presi dent Wilson and discuss the subject Informally. The -president hopes that before the anti-trust bill is launched In the two houses there will be common agreement on It in the com mitteea. HEWS FROX EYEBYWHERE. Current Events In the United State and the World at Large Briefly Set Forth. Boys And Girls to Visit Washington, The department of agriculture has announced that winners of the state prizes In the boys' corn raising clubs in the southern states would visit Washington and be welcomed by th department December 11.

Two persons were killed an.l several injured: Representative Henry George of New York, who desired to recommend sev eral negroes in his district for ap pointment to federal offices, cauea at the White House to learn President Wilson's attitude on euch (appoint ments. Mr. Wilson told the New York epresentative to ascertain' the senti ment of members of the senate on that question. After examining witnesses brought to suiDDort the charge that Represen tative Richard S. Whaley, of the first South Carolina district, had spent large Bums unia-wfully to obtain his nomination, the house elections com mittee decided to adjourn until De cember.
