^WASHINGTON wK&m ?? WMH I IS TAKING PLACE BY UNITED STATES sENATOtr The storm signals are out for the current session of Congress. It is already evident that the leg islatvie sailing will not be smooth. President Roosevelt has donned his "executive oilskins" and is prepared to actively and ml^itanti ly direct the ship of sfate through its rocky Congressional voyage, a role in which he is at his best. All this means that the country can geti ready for action and a strong effort to maintain the gains made during the period from the de pression to the current recession in business. Foremost on the legislative cal ender will be an attempt to get" at the cause of the existing reces sion, with its drop In sales, slump in the manufacture of automo biles and other factors leading to unemployment. Are government) policies responsible? Has the un distributed profits and capital gains taxes caused the slump? Is a minority of powerful Industrial and business groups carrying the opposition to Roosevelt policies too far? Answers to these and other questions will be sought early in the session. It is, of course, too early to an ticipate the Congressional course. There will no doubt be sharp j clashes of opinion on the faults and virtues of whati has already j been done. Lines may be more ! sharply drawn as between sup porters of the President and the I so-called conservatives than at any time since 1932. But there ! seems to be a united determina tion to see that the middle class es, small business men and the in-betweens are not pinched in the fight for the protection of the little fellow against whatever evils may exist in the monopolis tic and control-at-any-price con ditions. some ot the things that now, stand out may be summarized as tollow8: THE GOVERNMENT ? Indica tions that unemployment is great-: er than has been thought, with further drop in employment if the recession is not checked, may prevent any wholesale moves for economy. The Congress will be faced with demands of citizens for economy and demands for expen ditures. As the result, individual ' members will find it necessary to 1 study budget recommendation^, revenue yields and learn more about national needs in the light* i of developments within the last! sixty days before becoming defi nitely committed to more or less spending. BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY ? It is apparent that the capital] industries, such as steel, utilities, | rails and others, are not moving j ahead as is necessary- for the na tional good. Tax revision, clarify ing of federal policies, and chart ing of a definite course of govern ment action may prove helpful. In addition, it is also apparent that purchasing power is not up to price levels. This situation was feared by many when prices be gan to move upward at a faster rate than the income of our peo ple. AGRICULTURE? Much of the gains made by agriculture through higher prices for farm commodi ties have been offset- by higher taxes, higher prices for what the farmer buys, higher prices for farm equipment and so on. Thus it is essential that the Congress act as quickly as possible to as sure the farmer what he may ex pect ahead. THE WAGE-EARNER ? It Is to be hoped that all possible will be done to bring warring labor factions together. Continued fric tion is certain to be harmful to the great ranks of wage earners. A greatly modified wage and hour bill may be enacted by Congress. Something must be done to raise low wage levels and break t>he jam now caused by low income and high living costs, * Unfortunately, all these things face Congress in an election year. Members will be faced with a de sire to be with constituents and the call of duty In Congress. A* a result, individual members will be forced to act) according to their beat belief of the right course, and let the chips fall where they m ay.

Davis) Just where the Franklinton road turns off from the Raleigh road one mile south of town there stood in the memory of many still living a quaint old building wide ly known as the Farmers Inn. When I first knew it a family by the name of Collins lived there and with them a son-in-law, Jos eph A. May, whose specialty wasi fruiti and fruit trees, a business! which he afterwards followed with succcks at Pigeon River in Haywood County. Mr. O. H Har ris, the present owner of the pro perty tells me that the first owner of it so far as he has beep able to trace iti was named Longgin who seems to have left none of his name when he dropped out. "She place took its name from the fact that it was a stopping place on the old State route from Ral eigh and the South to Richmond and the North. There was thq old Inn, a long, one stocx rambling building, set perpendicular to the Raleigh road, with its longi'|j>orch and a number. of rooms opening thereon. There was the w?il ? a famous one ? right by the side of the road, with its stone curbing, its windlass and rope with "the old oaken bucket" attached al most the very one the poet wrote about In the familiar words: How sweet from its green mos sy brim to receive it As poised on the curb it in clined to my lips, Not a full gushing goblet could tempt me to leave it, Tho filled with the nectar that Jupiter sips. Few people ever passed this road in the summer time at least, | without taking a drink from this famous well and unless the drink- j er brought his cup the draft had to be taken from that "green mossy brim," the poet wrote about. The greener the brim and the more moss there was in and around this old well and the more people drank with their lips to the brim of that same old bucket, the more delightful seemed a draft therefrom to the thirsty traveler in those days of blissful ignorance of germs. Mr. Harris tells me that about 1890 Mr. Dan iel R. Goodloe, formerly of this county, t'hen a newspaper man of prominence in Washington City, in passing stopped for a draft and told him that he remembered drinking from that same well six ty years prior to that day. Which 1 takes us back to t-he 30's of the last century ? 100 years ago, the day of the stage, the wayside inn j and change of horses. More than i 60 years ago I remember an old | gentleman in Warren County who-l seemed to me ? then a mere boy ? to know just a litUe more than anyone else at- all ? in fact just about all there was to be known. Goldsmith's words as I remember him would apply' to him ? And still they gazed and still the wondef grew, How one small head could car-: . ? ry all he knew. Mr. Albert Egert-on, that was his name, was indeed if ever any one was, a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, at least of the his tory of that day. He had a mind ! with a greed for knowledge and i a memory that seemed to let I nothing slip. His name will ever! be associated in my memory with , an account I heard him give of a : trip he once made, certainly be fore 1836, in the stage over this line. The event occurred between Louisburg and Warrenton. Mr. I Egerton said there were several 1 passengers in the vehicle, among them one who took no part in the conversation of the others and whose every feature and general bearing repelled anything like | confidence or conversation. And ; ? so he sat to himself in a corner of the seat with arms folded ap parently giving no heed to any thing save himself and his own thoughts. Somewhere on the road about Bear Swamp there was a mighty Jolt* that caused the old gentleman to thrust his head out of the window and scream out, "Driver you must drive your team more carefully." Again at the Devil's Cradle another Jolt. And again that voice Ohundered, "Driver I told you to drive more carefully." For a third time at Sandy Creek there was the same experience, only this time the jolt was more violent shaking the old gentleman from his seaO. This time he took from beneath bis cloak a mighty pistol and reach ing around he stuck it <into the side of the driver in the boot and said, "I have told you for the last Mme to drive more carefully. You do that again and you will never drive another team." After that, Mr. Egerton said, they traveled more slowly and more smoothly. Having some curiosity to know who his fellow traveler was Mr. Egerton followed him into the hotel at Warrenton where he had to stop, to see the name under which he registered. It was Aaron Burr. It is possible that this bril liant, bold aand bad man with just one soft spot in his heart ? his devotion to his wife and daughter ? may have passed the preceding night and many others under the hospitable roof of this same old famous Inn. And not only he but ot'hers of the great and near great of that remote day. BIRTHDAY SUPPER On Tuesday, Dec. 28, 1937, E. L. Winston was given his 72nd birthday supper at his delightful home.

POLLARD, Missionary in charge. CHIROPRACTIC * * * * the great NATURAL HEALING and HEALTH-GIVING SCIENCE has passed the experimental stages and is one of the recog nized agencies for health. During my four years at the National Col lege of Chiropractic in Chicago. 1 noticed the names of the following among the many patients who received treatment at the Col lege Clinic (hospital): George Raft, Francis X. Bushman ? 'Movie stars; Maurine and Norva, famous dancing artists, the latter of whom played the role of Miss Nona, the dancer, In Wallace Heery's "Viva Villa". Professional baseball players ? Tony Piet,' big leaguer of Chicago; Dr. jorgenson, Pie Tray nor, Paul and Lloyd Waner, and others of the Pittsburgh Pirates Ball Club. Mr. Joluison, Superintendent of Illinois Cook County Schools; Mr. George Byrnes, Asst. Dist. Attorney, Chicago; Ex-Senator Walsh of the Illinois Legislature, Noted stage stars ? Mr. Perara, husband of the famous Grace. Moore of the Metropolitan Opera and Movies, Clifton Webb, Lew Kes sler, Ann Hunter, Margaret Sandy, lk>rothy Walker. Professional Fastest Ire Skating Champion, Bobby Mclean. Mrs. A. C. Thompson, leading U. S. horse woman who has been awarded many blue ribbons at the National Livestock Exposi tions in Chicago. Certainly when the merits of a healing art are such as to be recognized by people as above whose success at their profession is greatly dependent upon their physical fitness and health and to be used by them to main tain their health, then that art of healing has stood the test and is established. 1 The value of Chiropractic has been realized to such an extent by the World War Veter ans that they petitioned the Government at Washington with the result that Chiroprac tic Is recognized In the Government Veter an's hospitals. It has been estimated that 33 million people in the United States are patrons of Chiro practic and drugless physicians. This is indicative that the trend of these modern, enlightened times is definitely toward the more natural, sane, drugless methods of healing. ?? Hours: 9 a. m. - 12:30 p. m.; 1:30-5 p. m.
