SIMMONS LEADING FIGHT.
Senators Pay High Tribute to
Effort of Senator Simmons on
Metal BilL ' -
(By Parker K. Anderson.)
Washington, D. C, May 13-
Tariff discussion was started in
the Senate on the 30th uft. when
Senator Simmons, of North Car
olina, ranking member of the fa
nance committee, fired the open
ing gun on the metal schedule,
which is one of a series of bills
which the Senate will be called
upon to act at this session. The
bill, which is the same as report
ed by the Democratic House, re
duces the rates on metals and
the manufacture therefrom an
average ad valorem of about 35
per cent to an average of about
22 per cent and if passed will
place the articles upon a revenue
basis, but at the same time al-

within the zone where foreign
competition is not made impossi
ble by transportation cost.
The bill transfers a few ar
ticles now upon the dutiable list
to fhe free list
Mr. Simmons was interrupted
by Senators on both sides of the
chamber frequently, so often in
fact, that his speech, which or
dinarily would have been de
livered in two hours, consumed
the better part of two days.
When he had concluded he was
warmly congratulated by all of
the leading Senators in the Sen
ate. among them being Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia, Martin,
of New Jersey, Stone, of Mis
souri, and. Bacon fiLGeorgia.
- "It is one of the strongest and
ablest presentations of the tariff
I have ever heard," said Senator
William J. Stone of Missouri.
"The best Democratic tariff
speech I have ever heard. It
Bhould be printed as a public
document and circulated through
out the country," said Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia.
"Senator Simmons' speech
was the most exhaustive and
enlightening elucidation of the
tariff yet made. It is unanswer-
high protection. The statistics
given were most complete yet
not burdensome," said Senator
Martin, who has lived in Fay
etteville and is a great admirer
6f Major Hale, editor of the Fay
etteville Observer.
"I have been in the Senate a
long time and have heard a great
many tariff speeches," said Sen
ator Bacon of Georgia, "but
Senator Simmons has made a
speech that the Republicans can
not answer."
Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
one of the leading Republican
progressive Senators and an
authority on the tariff, said:
"It was a very great speech. "
From now on the eyes of the
country will be upon the Senate.
Senator Simmons is leading the
fight for the Democrats for the
downward revision of the tariff
and that he will succeed in his
efforts to pass tariff bills
throughout the Senate, lowering
the duties on high protected ar
ticles, no one who knows the
distinguished North Carolinian
doubts. Whether these bills
will be signed by the President
remains to be seen. But the
Democrats with the assistance of
Senator Simmons as leader will
continue to pass such bills
through the Senate and then
await the result.
Broad Ridge Breezes.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, R. 4, May 13
Chopping cotton is the order of
the day on this part of the Ridge.
The soil is very wet here on ac
count of so much rain. "Gener
al Green" is having his
sway, but I think if the rains will
cease for a week or more that
he will be conquered.
Rev. Dock Barnes filled his
regular appointment here Sun
day, although to a small congre
gation ,on account of the weath
er. The women of the missionary
society of the Broad Ridge held
their meeting Saturday and a
goodly number was present.
Glad to report Mrs. Aaron Britt
improving, who has the measles.
- Mr. Gough is to be congratu
lated for arranging a book for
the exercises of a Sunday school.
"Aunt Becky", we would like
to hear from you again, as your
letters are interesting to the
readers of The Robesonian.
Everybody remember prayer
meeting and come.

The Old Law and the New life.
Matt v:lI-2G.
Golden Text-He that loveth his
neighbor bath fulfilled the law. Rom
xlll:8.
(1.) Verses 17-18 In what sense did
Jesus mean that the law was not to be
destroyed until all be fulfilled?
(2.) What. If any. reason is there to
believe that Jesus did not mean that
the law of Moses was to last forever?
(3.1 How did Christ fulfill every "Jot
and tittle" of the law of Moses, spir
itual, moral, political and ceremonial?
(4.) Verse 10 What was the final
end. purpose or object of the command
ments of Moses?
(5.) If a disciple of Christ at that
time bad taught against the least of
the Old Testament commandments,
what would he have lost thereby?
(0.) If a disciple of Christ now
teaches against the keeping of the
ceremonial law or the moral law as
exemplified by the "eye for an eye"
and the "tooth for a tooth" command
ments of the Old Testament, how does
God regard him? .
(7.) Verse 20-What did Christ mean
by "the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees?"
(8.) If a man does an outward good
deed for the sake of custom or policy
or to be seen of men that he would
not do from his own choice, how Is
his deed regarded by God?
(9.) How would you characterize two
men. one whose motives are pure, but
who blunders in carrying them out,
and 9.i&sylilWi,
but who acts outwardly In a faultless
manner? " -
(10.) Does righteousness consist in
motives or in actions, and why? (This
is one of the questions which may be
answered in writing by members of
the club.)
(11.) Verses 21-22 The law of Moses,
like human law now. could only pun
ish when an outward crime had
actually been committed. How does
the law here given by Jesus differ
from that?
(12.) If a man secretly plans a mur
der and lacks the opportunity of com
mitting It be Is innocent at law.
Would you say that he is Just as
guilty before God as If he had com
mitted it? Why?
(13.) Does Christ teach that wicked
anger or hatred is regarded by God
as murder, and. if not. what does he
mean? (See I John 111:15.)
(14.) What does Jesus here mean by
the various degrees of punishment
represented by the "Judgment," the
"council" and "hell fire?"
(15.) Verses 23-2G Why is it Impos
sible to worship or be In harmony
with God if we bear a grudge against
any person?

GREATEST MEDICINE ON EARTH
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind., writes: "1 was ill for five
months with a pulmonary trouble, and
had the best of doctors. I had hemor
rhages and was in a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend I tried
Vinol, and I feel that it eaved my life.
It is all you recommend it to be. I
believe it is the greatest medicine on
earth. I have ndvlsed others to try
Vinol, and they have had the same
results." (Name furnished on re
quest.) We want every one in this vicinity
who is troubled with chronic colds,
coughs, or pulmonary troubles, to
come and get a bottle of VInoL
If It does not go to the seat of trou
ble, heal the Inflammation and stop
the cough, we will cheerfully return
every cent paid tis for it. This shows
our faith, and proves that you take
net chances.

Townsend Bros.,
In Central America many natives are
gathering the seeds of this plant, Cedron
Seed, a rare medicine that has valuable
curative powers. But few drug stores
carry this seed, owing to the high cost
of the article.
This country is a large consumer of
this costly seed because it enters into
the famous catarrh remedy, Peruna,
sold the world over.
