(Special.) Senator Chamberlaiu of Oregon des not believe in half way measares bo far : aa free tolls are concerned for Aiceiican ships toasaiDS throuah the Panama Canal. Rather than have the agitation continue on the part of Great Britain, that the American nation is about to violate the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in absorb ing theltolls on ships flying tbe flag of the United States, the senior senator' from Oregon has introduced a bill abrogating the trofttv aa the easiest way out of tbe difficulty. Senator Borah of Idaho, who is a member of the foreign Relations Committee cf the Senate, is not convinced that the Chamberlain biil is necessary on the ground that the Hay-Pauuoifote treaty con templated the building tf the canal ou foreign soil, whereas we have acquired the strip of terri- . " . Sal tory through wnicn tne -Dig ditch" passes and the canal, the very nature of things, is American soil and therefore by on ther treaty in no wise applies. In any eveut the question is very much alive and is one of the perplexing problems which the administration has to solve in the very near future, as the new Am bassador to the United States from Great Britain, it is understood, is bringing with him the last word on the toll question from the English point of view, One of the most, if not the most piotureeque figure i the Senate is James K. Vardaman of Mississip pi, whose long black hair, .falling to the shoulders, smooti-Bhaven face and piercing black eyes, af ford the guides of the Capital no end pf small talkjfor the benefit of the tourists who are crowding the big building on the hill these pleasant days of spring. -Bat Vardaman in the Senate and Var daman in the saddle (are as far apart as the poles. - In the saddle Senator Vardaman looks like a Knight of Old, the lanoe and -"ffitsstng toTopleteTlny picfnre. The iunior Senator from Mis issippi made bis appearance in Potomac Driveway the other day, on a handsome bay horse and his faultless riding and his stately mein, Mb eyes partly hidden by the brim of a soft hat, uoh as a Southern gentlemen wears on the stage and in Con gress, and his long black hair made a picture for an artist Vardaman was immaculate in a dark blue coat, pure white riding breeches, and black riding boots . Needless to say he was "the ob served of all observers." A new collection whioh will make tbe Smithsonian Institution in this city the fore most repository of African trophies in the world has been given by Herbert Ward, the sculptor and soldier of fortune. who is now the last surving officer of the Stanley expedition which invaded the depths of the bilck .continent years ago in searoh of Emin Pasha. The gift, made nossible through the efforts of Thomas Nelson Page the novelist, contains more than 7000 Afnoan weapons and musical instruments used by the natives. Perhaps the most picturesque new comer in the House is iJant Eirkpatrick pf the Sixth Iowa Dis trict ." Almost all his life, at least since -the olose of the cival war Eirkpatrick has been a hunter of moonshiners. Not even he could tell how often he has been shot suless he did a few sums on his fingers. His eyes were practically ahot out in the last raid he led mo that he is now almost blind There are fully 200 pieces of lead in his body as a portion of the re ward for being a revenue officer for twenty-seven years. At least three times he has been left for dead on the field and the doctors who overhauled him pledged their professional honor that he couldn't get well. "After all," ays Mr. Eirkpatrick with a cer tain grimness, "I wasn't nearly as bad off as the other fellow." Pains In the Stomach.

Cbnfteur Suss Lite by Leip From Wii- dew. Lenoir, April 25 The 75-horse- power roadster of W. J. Grandin, president of the Watauga Railway Company, ,, was oomplstely de stroyed by fire yesterday morning at the old Austin mill, near Pat- terson. Walter Holder, chauffeur fnr Mr fJranHin had driven tha ntr gquirrel huQi ftnd lef fc i undflr a sh6d at the mill. This aot oame very near costing Mr. Holder his life, and only by mere chanoe was the life of one of hii children, who accompanied him, saved also. The car was driven foremost into, the shed, which was so nar row that Mr. Holder had to crawl over the car to crank it, and as he did so without warning it biased up in flames and there was no ave nue of escape for the young man but a window and he leaped for this and to safety to the ground, about 15 feet belcw. Had it not been for the window Mr. Holder would have been destroyed by the flames, which flashed like powder from the 60 gallons of gasoline m the tank. Through fore-thought, he left his little child on the ground, instead of placing her in the car before cranking it. If this had been done, she could not have possibly been saved. The car was a very valuable one valued at $3,500, and it and the mill were totally destroyed. It is understood that it was partially covered by insurance. Polk Miller and Col. Tom Booker Coining.

China Groie Is 0. K. Citizens of the municipality of China rove have done two unu sual things. First they held a mass meeting ana nominated a 4 ? . preacher for mayor. Preacher- mayors are not unknown but they are not common. Some preachers would make good mayors. But the seoondunusual thing the China Grove mass meeting did. and it was most unusual, was to adopt a resolution of thanks to tbe retir ing mayor and aldermen, adopted unanimously at that. This is al most an unheard of proceeding. Usually the outgoing mayor and aldermen are criticised, if not de nounced, as they go out and more than often it is intimated that they did things that ought to'put them in jail.

York, Aril 27. Churches in this city . ad throughout, the country joined today the Christian Churches of China in praying for that Netion as jrequested by the present Chineli authorities. The response herAas in connection with a wcrldWide movement to heed tbe appeal from the new Re public, said to be the first that ever oame to Christian forces from a non-Chnstiarland. Points specified by China as be ing subjects tor petitions were the Chinese people, the President to- be chosen, the Constitution. and its maaing ana clean men wisely seleoted;f or members of Congress. ToiV this, in this country, p6titi6us were added that Christians of Afaencan birth now in Jhina may t wisely toward that country and that Christians in America may!' be liberal with money and tolerant in spiiit. When one recalls that a dczan years ago the" Peking Government was doing its bejit to exterminate Christianity andT the Christians were dying by " the thousands it becomes apparent that this pres ent aotion of thePeking Govern - S lent, in calling upou the native hristians to pray Jor it, is one of the most dramatic revolutions of the' wheel of events inown within the memory of Hying men. Proud and self-inffioient, devot ed to ancient ways and until with in recent monthstcalliog all out aiders ;"foreign devils," the Chinese have mad an almost in sredible "volte, fjtoe" in calling upon the late despised Christians to pray for the (jrvernment, for its new officers, f6Lits recognition by the Powers and- for its stable establishment. The proclamation went to al most unbelievable ilengths in de creeing that GoVeEii'ment officials all over the Empire should attend the prayer services of the native Christians on V&pril . 27. This means that the fcumble chapels and ohurches of js. little t bands .jt0hiijtiaiihrgh out theff'prdVfnWendthree de pendencies, will tor the first time see tne dignitaries witnin their walls. Except in a few of the larger cities, there are no preten tious Chinese churches. The Christians have been the common folk, often only the coolie class. Some of their meeting places are really too small 'to hold all the officials who' must attend. The situation appeals to one's imagi nation. China is the land of "face." The fact of this governmental proclamation and the presence of these officials in the Christian meeting places will do more to es tablish the "face" of Christianity than any action that could pos sibly be taken by all the mission aries and foreign boards combin ed. It means more to Christian ity in China than the announce ment of a million dollar gift. The Chinese regard for "face," or outward seemlineis and recogni tion, is what lent importance to President Wilson's appointment of John R. Mott as Minister to China. Mr. Mott's appointment, even though he did not accept, has given "face" to missions both in China and in this oountry. It accredited the Christian enter prise and proved its standing and good repute. Peking, April 27. China's day of prayer did not prove entirely peaceful due to dissension over the five Power loan. The loan, which is for $125,000,000 was signed just before daybreak, the Chinese and foreign signatories having assem bled late last nignt to oonoiuue the details ot a delegation from the Senate and House of Repre sentatives gathered outside the British bank where the represent atives of the Government and the five-Power group met. The vice- president of the Senate acted as spokesman for the delegation and when an opportunity was given him to confer with the signatories, he explained that the majority in the Parliament considered the loan illegal. Since the dynastic days the question of a loau has been dis cussed in various forms and it threatens now to bring about an other revolution similar to that caused by the Hu Kuang loan. Coughs and Consumption Coughs and colds, when neglect ed, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the coughs will disap pear. O.

Prejudice and Partlallti Will Oaf. 'SO Hoi , Hard (s to See Onr Of n Sins. A new fake consumption cure is born every week, and,; as some one said, a sucker is born every minute. Supply and demand, in ihese two instances, seem to run a riot. The supply of Mfortnniit.Kr.n' consumptives and the de mand for these false "cures" are rivals. The race is" nip ana tucK. .But how are we going to head off such a race? rure food and drug laws get an occasional fakir, but is only an occasional one, .scarcely a dfop in the bucket. As all "consumptive cures" are founded on fraud and flour ishing on fear, the ever hope ini but susceptible consump tive is robbed of his money and robbed of his chance of life. Bat what care the consumption cure" compan ies? It is srood business. The only prevention for duch wholesale robbery is education, es, just that. Education will banish the old superstition that for every ailment there is a "specific." Education will teach those having consumption that their only assurance of a cure Jies in their strict obedience to the laws of hygiene, with unlimited fresh air, and food. After this is done there will be no more demand for patent medicine consumption cures, and the dastardly busi ness will stop. . But we must educate, and the only way to do this effectively is through health departments, town, county and State. The above is a bulletin sent out by the N. C. Board of Health under the direction of Dr. Rankin. Quite a I number V of 'sprehdrrl have appeared in this paper on tne prevention and cure of consumption and other subjects from the same source, but this one, while no doubt as good as any and worthy of all acceptation, causes one to stop and th nk who constitutes the fakirs and "consumption cure com panies." Can the good doctor be intentionally partial, houghtless, or does he in elude the medical profession with the fakirs and "com panies?" For instance, how mm - . many doctors are tnere in North Carolina, or elsewhere, who would fail to prescribe and make a charge for treat ing a consumptive? Is there one? If there is no remedy for consumption is the physi cian who writes a prescription knowing his drugs will do no good any less a fakir than the druggist or patent ntedi cine man who sells a worth less concoction? No doubt the average doctor and patent medicine man is honest and sincerely hopes his remedy will give relief. We believe some of the most valuable remedies known were the pro ducts of unprofessional and that it is as likely for a prac tical remedy to be produced in the laboratory of a. patent medicine concern' as it is to come from other sources. In fact to pick up a medical journal and run over the ad vertisements one would al most be forced to Relieve that there are few remedies not of the "patent" variety. Go to a drug store and note the ar ray of patent medicines, many of which are kept in stock by special request of physicians who make constant use of them in their daily practice. Yet this is not a reflection, but more generally indicates the watchfulness, broadmind edness and up-to-dateness of the profession. When it comes to a matter of skill and ability The Watchman is ready to give justice to all comers and takes very little stock in the class whose actions indicate an imaginary monopoly on brain power and superior virtues. Some of the farmers are through planting corn and are getting their ground ready fox ootton. ' DAVIOSOI PREFERS MUD TO E3XDS. Isssi of $300,000 for . Beads Lost is Da- Lexington, April 22.

How Editors -Set Ricfiv After a great deal of worry and study we have at last figured out how so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of their success, mere is a child born in the neighborhood. The attending physician gets $10. The editor gives the lood-lunged youngster a great send-off and gets $0. It is christened, and the minister gets $5, and the editor gets $03. It grows and marries. The editor nnKl i e Vioa annf.hav lrtnrfci3u1 -y . different lies about "the beautiful and accomplished bride " The minister gets $10 and a piece of cake. The editor gets $00Q and a request to carry the groom's sub scription account another year. In the course of time she dies. The doctor gets from $5 to $100, the minister gets from $5 to $100, the editor publishes a notice of death and an obituary two columns long, lodge resolutions, a lot of poetry and a card of thanks and gets .$0,000. The sub scriber then having all he can ob tain from the editor marks the paper 4 'refused" and lives happily ever after. No wonder so many oountry editors get rich. Ex. It Beats Them All The business world and all the balanoe oi the world is accustom ed to hearing exouses, but the railroads in the matter of freight discriminations sgainst North Carolina are putting up one that beats them all. It says if it owers rates for North Carolina on a level with the Virginia rates, it will have to do the same thing in other states of the south. In other words, it has been swindling North Carolina and now that it must quit, it wants to try to keep on swindling tne otner states. Gentlemen of the railroads, it won't work. The public is on to your gams; it required years to get on, but the trick has been learned and school's out. Greens boro Record. J. P. Morgan's Religion. This paragraph in the will of the late J. P. Morgan was pro nounced by the press "extraordi nary." "I commit my soul into the hands cf my saviour, in full con fidence that having redeemed it and washed it in His most pre oious blood He will present it faultless before the throne of my Heavenly Father ; and I entreat my children to maintain and de fend, at all hazard and' at any cost of personal sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of the complete atonement for sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, onoe offer ed, and through that alone." It no doubt came as a surprise to many money-mad members of Wall street's circle who had come to fear Morgan's edicts. But was it remarkable? Was it extraordinary? Certainly it throws a different light on the man. "I entreat my children to main tain and defend at all hazard and at any cost of personal sacrifloe, the blessed doctrine of the com plete atonement for sin. through the; blood of Jesus Christ," once of fared, and through that alone.' - V 4 a .
