Simmoas Will Get Action on
v Tariff
Washington, D. C., June 14. ? During
the short time Senator Simmons has
been in charge ef the tariff bill* he baa
done a great work for tariff reform in
bringing abeut conditions in the Senate
that guaranteed action on all these
measures during tbia session of Con
gress. W ben be was put in charge of
these bills the prediction was freely in
dulged, both in congress and in the
press of the country; that there was
but little interest in the tariff in the
Senate and that as a result there would
be no tariff legislation this session.
Under the energetic and well directed
action ef Senator Simmons, the situa
tion has been changed and the Senate
has already passed one of the most im
portant of these bills and will daring
this week act upon another, and there
is ao longer any doubt that each of them
will be brought to a vote in the Senate
before adjournment. When the sena
tor early after hs took charge of the
?conduct of the bills on the floor stated
to the Senate that there could be no
adjournment until there was action
taken on' these bills if it took all sum
mer, and predicted that these measures
would be adopted and sent to the pres
ident, it was not believed that he could
make his words good, but the Senate
discovered that he had both patience
and resourcefulness and quietly he has
brought about a co-operation with the
insurgents that would enable him to
-control the situation. It is now be
lieved that the president will be pre
sented not only with the steel and iron,
but the wool, cotton, and probably the
eugar bills.
HIS M AN AO EMXKT TACTFUL
Senator Simmons' management of
these bills is admitted on both sides of
the chamber to have been tactful, and
most satisfactory and his speech on the
metal bills is commented on by his col
leagues as one of the strongest, clear
est and mest unanswerable statements
of the Democratic position on the tariff
?delivered n manv yean.
In his leadership he has shown the
tame masterfulness in bringing togeth
er and organising force* and dlsootfent
inflssnces that Bade for success In his
campaign* in North Carolina .
His colleagues have shown the ut
most confidence In his leadership, and
have supported him loyally and with a
unanimity seldom shown In the Senate
in discussion of tariff measures.? News

Including the Training School, the
College laSt year had a total en
rollment of 805 students. Ninety-one'
of the ene hundred counties of the
State had representatives in the stu
dent body. Nine-tenths of all the grad
uates of this institution have taught
or are novt teaching in the schools of
North Carelina.
The dormitories are furnished by
the State and board Is provided at
actual cost. Two huadred appoint
ments with free tuition, apportioned
among the several cnuntiee according
to school population, will be awarded
to applicants about the middle of July.
Students who wish to attend this insti
tution next year should make applica

Summer Vacation. -
Summer vacation season Is here.
Everybody wants to have a "bully"
good time and ceme back to work feel
ing like a new person. Here ie the
way to do it. Exercise moderately
during vacation; loaf enough te relax,
but not enough to aoften; get a good,
refreshing bath every day and eight
hours sleep every night. Avoid pro
longed immersion, especially in fresh
water. Keep your head covered fross
the sua, unless you wish to invite heat
prostration and even baldness. Pure
water! Pare milk! Fresh fish! Be
sure about these things in hot weather.
Avoid surface wells and springs in the
vicinity of dwellings, or boil the water.
Protect food from the houseSy. Ayoid
the common swissmlng pool with its
bacteria laden water, or at least do not
dive into it and take the risk of infec
tion. Look out for the mosquito that
flies in the early eveniag.
Stores Close.
The dry goods stores of Louisburg
will close in the afternoon through the
summer months .at 6 o'clock. All per
sons haviag purchases to make will bear
this in mind. I y
New Elections
The Board of Graded School Trustees
on last Monday elected Miss Lela
Bevee, of Franklinton, to till the vacan
cy in the faculty for the (th and 7th
grades caused by the resignation of Mr.
Ueo. S. Baker. Miss Alice Tye Mor
rison, of Wadssboro, N. CM was elected
by the Board to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Miss Georgia
Joyner. ... , y
Both of the younv ladies are highly
recommended and fully capable in their
respective work.
Mr. Simmons and the State
North Carolina seems to be well rep
resented in the United States Senate.
Her representatiyee stand well with
their associates. Senator gammons has
become the making Democrat at the
head of a committee which corresponds
ia inportance te the one which Mr. Un
derwood heads in the House. It is
something to have achieved a position
commanding such respect, together
with great inflaence both in the Senate
and in the House. All know that ao
member of Congress rises thus above
his fellows without talents and arduous
labor. To elect a new man in Senator
Simmona' place now would be to sac
rifice this hard-won advancement, with
the eminent opportunity afforded for
serving the country and the State.
It la charged that Mr. Siasssens made
a mistake in Toting (or Lorimer. Ad
mitting this, what then? Calhoun,
Webster, Clay and others made mii
takea, and plenty of them, but their
States supported them tot their con
structive work in the Senate. Was
there ever an; Seaator who did so much
er half so much.' that escaped making a
mistake at some time in hja tsenatorial
career? 2*6 one can sav that the Sena
tor's capacity for usefulness has suffer
ed beoauae of the Lorimer vote. In
the mattei of hia vote for retaining a
?mall duty on lumber, Mr. Siirimont
needs ao defence. However atrenu
revenue only, he should demand a fair
proportion of the revenue tariff, in or
der to pUc? his State upon a basis of
equality with thereat. In other words,
ttwe are compelled to have taViff foi
re venae ? as we are? why should net
Nerth Carolina iteaiye her pro-rata
benefits T Hia vote en lumber was all'
right, mad everybody should know It
WM.
As a Senator Ur. Simmons has ob
taiaed excellent results all ' around.
He baa served the whole country well
?ad North Carolina better. Ifhe had
dans nothing beyond what he contrib
uted to legislation for navigable water
ways in the eastern part ef the State,
he would il? sun re-election. He has
just attained the poaitioa la which he
ean Nader the 8tate greatest srrrioe -

Republican Convention.
The latest we could get before going
to press yesterday afternoon from the
Republican National Convention was
thatTaft's Steam Roller was working
fine. In the beginning its operations
were masterful in tbe fact that al
though Roosevelt and his forces "spit
fire" in their opposition they succeeded
in electing Senator Elihu Root as tem
porary chairman ky a rote of 558 to
602v The next contqgted .ballot was on
seating the contested delegates. This
was fought to a finish but tbe Taft
sympathizers won out in a vote of 563
to 610? allowing those contested to bal
lot on their eligibility. These two de
cisive victories for Taft caused Roese
velt to speak of bolting. As vet he
has failed to "bust up the machine"
and indications point to the nomination
of Taft. There has been muth talk of
a "dark horse" but no nominatien had
been made up to our going to press.
The Coavention is in a gennine nproar
between the factions in bringing
charges against each other. North
Carolina's delegation Is for Roosevelt
almost unanimous.
Heavy Winds
On Tuesday aft* moon a heavy wind
storm passed north of Louisburg and
from reports received here Wednesday

Advertising as a Guarantee
*
When a business concern invests a
large sum of money in a handsome
store and equipment for retail merchan
dirfTrtg, the public feels a certain degree
of confidence that the concern has
goota worth examining. People atgue
that unless they had established a
utation for fail dealing and ualeee they
had goods that they knew filled a need,
they *oilld not dare spend so much
money.
Advertising, likewise, acts as a guar
antee of substantia! business charac
ter. When a firm Spends money freely
on this necessary forin of salesman
shljp, the public pom
have goods back of tt thi hare d?m
onstrated their worth, or the firm
would not have >et apart thii sum of
money for telling them through the
newapapsra.
A concern that doe* not adrerttse
impreaaea the pablic aa merely an ex
periment. The fact ' that it may have
been in exUtence far many yaaza doea
net help it V> very much. The pablic
may even look at mere existence for a
long term of yea^ aa a distfualification,
indicating 'for oU time methods. It
takaa advertising to prove that you have
confidence In y*ux goods.
Save AH the Fruit This Tear.
Reports from practically all aecttona .
of oar territory are" that aey be ana do ^
welL It is probably destined to be the
greatest legume erop of the South, both
for bay and grain, owing to ita wida
range of adaptability and general ex
cellence wherever triad. There is one,
and only one, general complaint. '
Unleaa the soil is well prepared and the
seed are planted deep enough in dry
weather and shallow enough in wet
weather, there is great danger of fail
are to secure a goad atand. Every
Southern farmer should grow aey beans.
By this we do not mean they should
grow leas cowpeaa, leaaedeza, alfalfa
or ether legume that doea well with
them, but for fattening hogs, or for
feediag dairy cows and growing ani
mate the aaed are a valuable addition
to our feeding stuffs, and the plant
yielda well? from 16 to 40 bushels per
acre. It is also ene of the very beat
hay-producing plants we have. If
these are not sufficient reasons for
growing more of them, then we need
only remember that being a legume it
is a soil improver, because it gathers
nitrogen from the air. Of course, if
seed and straw are both removed; there
will not be much improvement of the
land; hut if well fertilized with phos
phoric acid and the manure made from
feeding the crop is put back on the
land it will be great'y improved. Tha
same results will follow grazing the
crop with hogs or other stock.? The
Progressive Farmer.
Tested by Sorlpture
It is reco.ded of Benjamin Franklin
that when as a poor boy he asked for
work at a printer's la London, the fore
man. doubting whether an American
could really do anything well, asked if
he could really set up type.
Franklin stepped at once to a case,
and set upJohn 1-46: "And Nathaniel
said to him, can there any good come
out ot Nazareth? And Philip saith
unto him, eome and see. " .
This was done so qiiieklv and accur
ately, and conveyed such a delicate re
proof, that he obtained employment at
once, and was rapidly promoted.? Ex.

Support Your Home Newspaper
A good local paper is one o( the sur
est signs of a progressive community
and it is t? evtry farmer's interest to
do what he can to make his county
paper a good paper. It tells him things
which he should know and which no
other paper can te!l him. Oftea it will
be the best advertising medium he can
use and if the editor realized that the
farmers in his territory are trying to
help him make a goed paper, he ia
more than likely to be willing on his
part to do all lie caa to advance the in
terest of tlie rural sections. We real
ize that too many local papers give
practically all their attention to the
town and neglect the country district*,
but we wonder sometimes if this is not
almost as much the farmers' fault as it
is the paper's.
Get in touch with your local paper.
Send ia to it any item of news you may
hare. Let the editor kaow about any
good farming that is being doae in your
neighborhood. Help him to see that
the prosperity of a town is founded up
on the prosperity ot the farming coun
try about it la this way yeu can help
