C, aa second class matter. Washington Letter. GRAHAM, N. C, Jan. C 1909. Some one in Washington has made a calculation and found that that there are 14,974,448 males in the United States available for military dutv. That number of soldiers could do some fighting. Applicants for census enumerators will have to fill their applications with the supervisors on or before the 25th of January. The applicants will have to stand the test in Febru ary. It will require G8,000 persons to take the census. Here are jobs for quite a number of people. The State Supt. of Schools reports that a new school house was built for every day last year; also that during the past year 200 new rural libraries were established and 159 local school tax districts were voted. These speak volumes for the educa tional awakening in the good "Old North State." The Ooldsboro bar has announced that the name of Judge William 11. Allen, one of the best known and ablest Judges on the Superior Court bench, will be presented to the next Democratic State Convention for the nomination for Associate J ustice of the Supreme Court. This is the position now held by Associate Jus tice James is. Manning, who was appointed by Gov. Kitchin to suc ceed Judge Connor, and in whose behalf the Durham bar has enliste d to have him nominated. John Kelly, of Salisbury, was found in a helpless condition Wednesday night, 22d, ult. and the police, under the impression that he was drunk, arrested him Later it developed that Kelly was paralyzed and he died next day. Quite a severe wind storm visit ed Asheville and vicinity Satur- day ntgnt a week, a tree was blown across the water main, sev eral miles from the city, and crushed it, and the city was with out water except that secured from private sourcos for about 24 hours. Pardee Morris, living at Wolf Creek, Tenn., who recently con fessed to knowledge of the mur der of an old Chinaman, Ling Gun, in the mountains of this State near the Tennessee line, 16 yean ago, is dead. He made the confession after he became seri ously ill. At Wadesboro a 6-year-old boy was shooting Roman candles. The fuse of One of the candles ap parently, went out after being lighted and the boy, as an experi ment, stuck the candle in his mouth. The explosion that fol lowed burned his mouth, throat and tonsils severely. Hudon Vance, an aged negro who lived alone iu a cabin in the vicinity of Asheville, was burned to death last week in a fire which destroyed his home. When neighbors reached the place the house was burned to the ground and the old man's charred re mains were among the ruins. - . The Supreme Court last week affirmed the judgment of the low er court awarding Mrs. B. Allen Bryant, of Asheville, $17,000 on account of the death of her hus band, who was killed in a wreck on the Southern railway two years ago.. Bryant was a traveling salesman for a Richmond paper house and had been married but a short time. Mrs. Farmer, wife of Dr. John L. Fanner, of Savannah, 6a., who was detained in a sanatorium at Greensboro as an insane pa tient, was released a few days ago by Judge Biggs, before whom her ease was carried on a writ of habeas corpus.

There are indications that the situation in Washington will be sufficiently interesting soon after the holidays. The Pinchot-Hal-linger controversy will bo consid ered by a joint Senate and House committee and it is given out that the President will aid Con gress in the most rigid inquiry. If this is so the joint committee will have behind it all the weight and power of the legal machinery of the United States and witness es can be summoned and compell ed to testify. Usually in such investigations the testimony of witnesses is voluntary and they have frequently been recalcitrant and ' have witheld important evi dence. Democrats in both houses are anxious to nave the most searching investigation of the General Land Office records be lieving that good political capital will bo the result. Independent onlookers are of the opinion that where there is so much smoke there must be fire but on the other hand Mr. Ballinger's pose is one of serene assurance and his friends expect his complete vin- dicatiou. The hearings of the committee will be public and your readers will be fully advis ed of the progress of the investi gation. Apropos of this question the public will recall that the Re clamation Service as it is called has been under the inspection of several Senators who investigated the projects in the West last sum mer. Some at least of the Sena tors think that the Reclamation Service has undertaken a bigger task than it can accomplish and it is intimated that the Ballinger investigation and an investigation into the Reclamation enterprise are so closely related that they should be carried along together to avoid the expense of a separate inquiry. It is probable, however, that this plan will be objected to on the ground that it will confuse the issue add mix problems. At present there are only skir mishes between the insurgents of the Republican party and the old standbys such as Aldrich, Hale, Lodge and the so-called "Me-too" Republican Senators who vote as Aldrich indicates or dictates. There have been indications that the President is disposed to flock with the Mo-too's but there is also a pretty well authenticated rumor that he has decided to oppose speaker Cannon which must fi nally mean his opposition to Aid rich for in a political sense Can non and Aldrich are brothers, The President it is understood is at work on special messages to be sent to Congress after the holi days and it is said that if Speaker Cannon shall show his opposition to the Ship Subsidy Bill and to the amendment of the Interstate Commerce Laws and to Postal Savings Banks as Is expected, the breach which has long been antic ipated by some will be known to all. The Secretary of Agriculture assisted by a force of experts at tached to the Agricultural De partment and scattered through out the country is carefully in vestigating the costs of food stuffs and seeking to probe the reasons for the greatly imcreased cost of the necessities of life. It is in deed time that something distinct and definite shall be known in re lation to this subject. Mr. Wil son, the Secretary of Agriculture has hundreds of field employees at his disposal and through them he is seeking to learn what ia the difference between wholesale and retail prices of food stuffs. The inquiry is directed toward the in creased prices of eggs, milk, but ter, potatoes, apples, and other article of diet. The Secretary Is of coarse favorable to the farm er so-called "honest" and does not believe that he is getting any too much for either primary or secondary products of the farm. He suspects the middle men and has intimated that there were too many of them. When one sees the number of groceries scattered throughout a' city there appears to be ground, for the contention that there must be great profit ia the business. If there was' only a way for the consumer to trade more directly with the farmer without the transmission profits derived by these officious, inter mediate helpers, doubtless our tables would be more bountifully and perhaps more economically supplied, - Senator Clapp of Minnesota, ia an interview, gave it as his opin ion that the Aldrich-Payne Tariff Bill was at the bottom of the in creased cost of everything that the American people use eternal ly. This tariff bill, in spite of the frantic assurances of its apol ogists and among them the Preei-' dent of the United States, it is now known, is the excuse for the higher price that the user or con sumer has to pay. Senator Clapp aptly puts it that one cannot raise the cost of living to a man who is producing something to sell, with out giving that man an excuse to correspondingly raise the price of his product. According to a re cent computation, taking sweet potatoes as an example, the grow er gets SI. 50 a barrel; the freight and commission is 25 cents; the retailor pays $1.75 a barrel; the consumer pays, buying usually by the peck, $3.85. This makes the retailers' profit, $2.10 on the bar rel, which is a profit of 120 per cent. It cannot be denied that the grocer is securing a place in public estimation closely analo gous to that long held by the the plumber. County Commissioners' Proceedings. General News. At Dubois, Pa., Tuesday night a week, an overheated stove ex ploded, burning a house and sev en children. Five trainmen were killed and two fatally injured in a head-on collision near Fort Ritner, Ind Monday of last week. Hon. W. J.
