This bill removed the whole tax. lipef valued at .'50 per km nounls nl.n.nd n-,e-. fnn;rf J equivalent to 25.NS per cent . or $1 HO per 100 pounds This bill proposed to remove this entire tax. The Democratic, wool bill pro posed to reduce the averse rale of duty on wool manuf ictures Iroru 00.10 per cent. to4S.3( per cent. President Taft's veto of this measure means that the A tnericau peole will pay $50, 000,000 more for their clothes this year than they would have if President Tuft had Mgned it. A wool hat valued at $ I abroad and taxed 78 per cent, upon its entry into the United Stutes. un der the present tariff law, would have been taxed only -19 cents. Flannel underwear valued at 27 per dozen suits is taxed un der the present law at the equiv alent ad valorem rate of about 106 per cent The Democratic bill proposed to reduce this to -19 ler cent. A suit of ready-made woollen clothii)r worth in Eu rope $10 is taxed uuder the present law at the equivalent ad talorem rate of 75 per cent., or 7 f0.

A suit of ready-made cotton clothing valued at the foreign port at .?( is taxed un der our present law 50 per cent, ad velorem, or $3 a suit.

The bill revising the in e t a I schedule reduced the average rate of duty on the entire hched ule from 33 35 per cent (imports of J 910) to 22 42 per cent.

Preachers can vote it is their duty to yote for the men an I parties that suits them, but when they, on tlw streets, in tha papers, or on the stump, go into partisan politics, il that is not a union ol church and State, then it is a leader of the church "fullen from mace.'' Avoid Swlutive Ccugh Medicines. If you want to contribute direct ly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, mor phine, and other sedatives when vou have a cough or cold An ex pectorant like Chamberlain's (Jough Remedy is what is ueeded. That cleans out the culture beds of bree ding places of the germs of pneu monia and other, germ diseases.

The House passed a bill provi ding for an excise tax on income, thereby transferring a consider able portion of the tax burdens to the wealthy, which are esca ping their proper proportion. , The Fxcise Tax bill passed by the House provides for the exten sion of the Corporation Tax law so as to include individuals, firms and copartnership. It nccoin plishs the very desirable puruose of transferring tax burdens from those less able to carry them to t he shoulders of the wealthy, who have heretofore escaped from a proper share of taxation for the support of the Government. The present burden of indirect falls upon peopld having incomes of less than $2,000 per year. A man whose net earnings amount i but $5,000 per year would under I this bid pay no' tax. A man ear ning $10,000 per year would pay nothing on the first $5,000 and $50 per year on the second $5, 000. Julm A Dniney Write. Mr. Fihtou: Pb-ase allow m. us a lortner i ll of Watauga itouiiiy. to co1uratnliil-vou and your people, upon ;thc nomiiui; ! tlun of one of vo:ir most worthv sons and trite citizens, Hon. F. jS. Colley, as 11 candidal ' for the MiiteM'iiate irom the .s.itli dis trict. fth.is been my privilege for the pa-t five or six years to be look ing, in connection with Mr. Cof fey 1111 1 Mr, F. A. Linney, in the j interest of the mountain section, and especially of Watauga coun ty, in trying to bring this sec' ion to the attention of capitalists, in order to get them to build a railro-ii and d -velop the natu ral resources of t his magnificent mountain count ty. 1 h iye found Messrs Coffey and Linney to be two of the most untiring and self-sacrificing men it has ever been my happy lot to meet, and now I feel that we are in sight of the long. hoped-for railroad up the Blue Hidge and on through Watauga county. I am proud of the people who have seen fit to honor Mr. Coffey with this nom ination. I think the good people ot that district, irrespective of party, should yote for and elect Mr. Coffey to the Senate, where awaits him a still greater work that he can tiud will do for his district and county. When Mr. Craig; is Governor of North Car olina, and E. S. Coffey is a mem ber of the State Senate, we can confidently expect that Watau ga will get her due consideration at the hands of the State Admin istration; and if Mr. Coffey i- not elected, I shall feel like Watauga ha not done her full duty and that the citizens do not appreci ate the grent efforts that Mr. Coffey has made in the interest of this grout mounriu section I am trcink to say that I think the people ot Watuuga county ought to honor Mr. Coffey and Mr Linney with any office that is within the gift of the people of the district; and now I hope you will allow me to say that when von have a chance to remember Mr. Linney, I as strongly beg Cat you jump over the political fence to show him that you ap preciate his work and efforts the ame as I do .Mr. Coffey's, and if either of them is ever a candi date for office in the county of Wilkes, where I now live they may confidently expect my sup port to the utmost of my ability. I wish I could see all my old Iriende in Watauga and congrat ulate them uoon the prospects thev now have for a railroad in and through the county, if they will do their whole duty as citi zens of so grand and noble a county as Watauga is. Now, my friends, don't get scared at a little tax. If you will only con sider the tremendous tax on are paying in the hauling off your produce to market and hauling your necessaries back home. He sides, there are enough products that lie in your fields and gar dens and rot eyery year to pay the interest on these bonds. Now, don't lie on vour backs and think you can be carried to prosperity on flowery beds of ease, while your neighbor county has fought to win the prize and sailed thro' expensive seas. Don't go to mar- ket with a load of cabbage on the 5th day of November, but be at the election and vote yourself and then get your neighbors all out and help them to see the right way to vote for their o n interests.

At Albemarle, Mr. Reynolds' home town, the Republicans find Democrats were apparently dis gusted with his method of cam paining and members of both parties took him out and lectur ed him about the way he was do ing, and it had its effect. Sat urday he tried to behave and really seemed to have come to the conclusion that the issues be tween the parties wereentitled to some serious consideration, and that a man in his position, Re publican candidate for Congress, should at least preteud to some degree of dignity. Leading Republicans pronoun ced his effort here "pitiful" and were open in the declaration that the ticket would have been fifty per cent, better off it Mr. Rey nolds had not made any canvass at all. Mr. Doughton was compliment ed here by leading Republicans and Democrats on the very able manner in which he handled th e issues.
