' Mr. Simmons friend give Liui I credit for the elimination of the: negro uote. the prohibition of the sale and manufacture i in toxicating liquors in the rural districts, the ultimate prohibi tion of the liquor tralHc through out the state and laws that con serve the forests mid water pow ers and open the inland water ways ot North Corolmn. Senator Simmons is fifty nine year old, healthy, energetic und strong mentally and phywca'ly. He whs born on a farm in Jon county, North Carolina, where he spends his summers. Wbat prop erty he has in in the nature of farm lands, most of which he in herited from his father, who was killed a few years go by a ne gro. For fifteen vears North Caroli nians have observed the 'fine Italian hand" of Senator Sim mone. No man in public lite in Washington has a finer hand than the chairman ot the finance committee. Small of Stature, with refined features aud jet black hair, fleck ed with grey, Mr. Simmons is a striking looking person. lie ha beeu mistaken for a Jew or Ja Latin. A close study of bis lea tures reveals the lact that he isn bundle of courage, brains and heart. He is not afraid of the devil or high water, his mends say, and his superb physical cour ase served him well in the stor. my days ol 1898 and 1900 in North Carolina. Not further back than five years ago he met a foe man to man and whipped hiiuse verely. It is said in North Carolina that no man who ever attacked Senator Simmons' integrity ever escaDed without a reckoning. Once his dander is up he is a vi r itable game cock. Recognizing his proneness to fight it the drop ol the batsome Asheville admirers sent Mr. Sim mone a game cock, which has been adopted as the emblem of theSimmous cohorts. The habil of industry has fix ed itself upon Mr Simmons. He knows nothina but work. His speeches in congress are carefully prepared. He has written some of them over a dozen times. His confidential stenographer who has beeu with him tor years nays that Mr. Simmons may start oui to do a piece of work at noon and never quit to eat or iest until four or five o'clock the next day. j Work has been his lite his pastime is reading, writing, or listeumg to some friend talk He does not know the difference between a baseball and a goli ball. He miaht mistake a tennis raquet for a guitar. If he goew to a social function it is because his wife or one ol bis daughters compels him to go. Now and then, when tired he goes to si e a show. His exercise consist of a short walk at night or on his wn y to or from the capitol, Secret bars or Coors never bide Senator Simmon. Anybody can see him. If a crank desire to attack him be could do so without effort but he might not escape unhurt. Newspaper men find Mr Simmons frank and ready but the one who breaks faith with him is not forgotten Senator Simmons is in thor ough accord with the Baltimore platform. He is iu favor of redu cing the tariff to h revenue basis, His efforts will be in that direct ion, Mr. Simmons is not a wealthy man. He has what his lather left him and the natural increase in real estate. He is frugal. While neither senators ride inau totnobih lit guci on a treet cur or ufoot. Smoking cigars and chewing a little tobacco occasionally inuke up Senator Simmonsrategoryof bad bnbits. He uws his left hand, In a crowd Mr. Simmons might not be picked out as a I'uite i Slates Senator, but in conversa tion or in a controversy his ubil. ity readily shows his rank a statesman. Mr. Simmons is a flghter,anor ker, an organizer, a thinker and a party mau. There is nothing of the grandstand performer in him. He labors quietlyiJogned- ly and to a definite end. Ever since the tarifi hearing commen ced before the ways und means committee he has made it a rule to read the reports. One of his daily duties is to peruse the Congressional Record. Do Not l'ardoo the Earns. Governor Craig is being besie ged with petitions tn pardon the University hazers who were cou- vie ted at Hillsburo last week und who after being sentenced to four months in jail were hired out to their fathers, The boys got off light enough, Their hazing cost the loss of a lite and the boys who were responsible should be made to suffer the penalty. Yny further modification of the court's sentence at the preseut time would take from the cuse all the good effects toward sup pressed hazing that might fol low. It would leave in the minds ot college students that punish ment for killing a man by ha zing amounts to nothing. Such a cjurae would tend to mob rule. UreeiiBboro News, Wireless Station. iMr. . J. urandin is having a set of wireless instruments in stalled in his office here with a view to testing them out and if he can get satisfactory results will erect a station on the moun tain near Cook's Gap where his railroad camp will be located for several months.
