We think not, and yet thus far we have not seen any Republi can paper in this state denounc ing this bill, nor have we seen the public utterance . of any Drominent Republican condemn ing it. Why are they so severely silent? Two Boys Drowned in Georgia. King's Lincl, Ga., August 1. While in bathing with several : otber young boys at a point seven miles from this place in bt. Mary s river, two boys, Isaac Carlton and Hoy Haddock, each 15 years of asp, were drowned. It was stated that the lads were struggling to gether and it is thought one was endeavoring to save tho life of the olhfr. , The bodies were rc covnt d. Washington Letter, j Washington, D. C., July 29. One of the most edifying spec tacles of the tariff session has been that presented by Speaker Cannon almost attempttng to hold up the passage of the bill, actually sending threats to the White House, because the Presi dent would not approve the deal- which Mr. Gannon made witn tor mer Representative Littauer for extortionate duties on women s gloves- which Mr. Littauer, who is one of the largest glove manu facturers in the country, wishes to make without foreign competi- tion at his plant at (jloversvine, New York. When, at the begin ning of the session, there was a threat to defeat Uncle Joe" r.nnnnn in the race for the SDeak- ersriin. and when a larerelmmber of Republicans joined forces with the Democrats to prevent tne rendnnt.ion of the Reed rules which, make the Speaker nothing short ot a despot, L-annon sent for Littauer and made a hard and fast agreement with him that he should have prohibitive duties on women's gloves if he would save Cannon from defeat. Littauer, who is a liberal enter- tamer, achieved the task assign ed to him with, as will be re membered, the help of a few Tammany Democrats who turn ed traitor to their party m con sideration of special favors which the Speaker was in a posi tion to grant. The Ways and Means committee met and the Payne bill contained the glove duties demanded by Littauer as the price of his assistance to the Speaker. The House objected but was powerless under the rul es to prevent the glove duties being adopted without defeating the entire bill. Influential mem bers of the House immediately beeran work in the Senate, how- aver to prevent the adoption of the glove duties there and were successful. The Dingley rates were adopted in the Senate and the bill went 'to conference. Meanwhile, however, the Presi dent learned of the Cannon-Lit- tauer trade and determined to defeat it. When the tariff bill went to Conference Speaker Cannon "packed" the committee against Representative Payne in order to insure the retention of the glove Jutie3. But the President in formed the conferrees that he would never agree to any increase over the Dingley rates on gloves. Cannon went to the White House, after first -telegraphing to Lit tauer to come to Washington and make the fight. The Speaker told the President that he was an old man. that he had just one request to make and that was that he be permitted to keep his promise to Littauer. The Presi dent was thoroughly disgusted that such a trade should have been made, that the people of the sountrvwere to be compelled to nav tribute to Lattauer for the far from meritorious privilege of having Cannon Speaker of the House. He told Cannon so very olainlv. That did not silence the Speaker, however. He has been making political deals all his life and was absolutely unable to see anything improper in his couduct or to grasp the President s mean ing. He never ceased his fight The conferrees promised the President to report the Dingley duties but Caanon kept up the contest Finally, when the con f errees had agreed to the Presi dent's demand for free hides, Cannon got them to demaed the President s aDDroval oi a com promise on the glove schedule The compromise was rejected but even after that a still further compromise was proposed. The Republican conferrees have come very near wrecking the tariff bill altogether. Their insistence on the glove rates de manded by Cannon and Littauer and the duty on lumber demand ed by certain western Senators placed the bill in serious jeopardy and incidentally demonstrated to the leaders of the Senate and the House that although he was big and good natured and apparently easy-going, William H. Taf t pos sessed a determination more dangerous to encounter once it was aroused even than that of Theodore Roosevelt. Letter Blown 75 Miles. Nashville Tennesson. 2.' A' letter which was blown at least seventy-five miles has been returned to its owner, William Harvill, in Totty's Bend. Mr. Haryill's Jiousie, ia which he lived alone, was blown away the night of the tornado, and everything he had was swept away. Among the things he treasured were many papers and letters. The letter re turned was written by his daugh ter, Miss Flora, now dead, in 1889, while she was attending school at Edgewood, Dickson county. It was found by Edgar L. Davis in his cornfield, eight miles west of Lebanon, Tenn., and unclosed to Mr. Harvill with a note inquiring about the storm. As the tornado traveled northeast, it isiiupposed that it passed through a section of Wilson countv. but with much of its force spent. A Remarkable Case. From tbfi Benson SpJkesmaa. The most remarkable case to which our attention Jaas ever been called is that of Mr. Thomas Mc- Lamb, who lives a few miles from town. At the. battle of He'ly s Ford in November C3 Mr. Mc- Lamb was struck between the eyes by a fragment of a bomb shell The bridge of his nose was shattered and hiSjright eye blind ed. The fragment remained m his head, eriving him very little trouble, for 48 years until Thurs day of last week: when it worked out through the roof of his mouth. The next day he brought the frag ment to town and found that it 1 3-4 ouuees. weighed Robert . Lee. The New York Tribune says: Virginia wants to place statutes of George Washington and Robert K. Lee in the statuary hall of the Caoitol. There micht have been a good deal oFobjection some years ago to the admission of a statute of the commander-in-chief of the Confederate forces. But the time has passed for such prescription. Robert E. Lee was both a great Virginian and a great American" Ten Killed in Street Car Smash. Spokane, Wash., July 31. Ten persons were killed and at least sixty injured in a head-on collision of two electric cars at Caldwell, Wash., on the Spokane and In land Rail way, late this afternoon. Both trains were goint, at the rate of about fifteen miles an -hour. They crashed together with out warning. Sampson Democrat: A citizen of Clinton reports Mr. A.J.Cooper as having a field of exceptionally fine corn. He'passed his farm the oth er day and says that the ear3 are. heavy and from two to four to the stalk. Then we asked Mr. Cooper himself about the variety of corn; he says the same corn has been in the family since 1838, when his grandfather, the late Mr. Bam Johnson, sent Mr. Owen Johnson to Halifax county for some corn and that it grew on the Roanoke river.

The material is white duck and the model a regular yachting hat. These headcovers are just the thing for boating and fishermen and would be fully as satisfactory for wear on the farm, or anywhere Blse, for that matter. They are light, cool, washable and look well. The hat making business of Beaufort may easily develop into a great industry. While excavating for a new rail way in Stokes county recently, a gang of workmen struck one of the richest and largest veins of mica yet found in the State. I he Citizens Bank at Southern Pines was closed last week in con sequence of the cashier goiDg away and the books showing a shortage of $15,000. A True Cause For Pride. Wilkesboro Chronicle. It should be a matter of pride to every citizen of Wilkes county that this county leads all other couulies in the State in the num ber of rural libraries. The spirit that made possible the Jnstalla tion of these libraries is signifi cant iudeed. It is a distinct rift in the dark clouds of illiteracy and gloom that have hovered over tne county ever since thf war. It is the old-lime character of our people re-asserting itself and com ing to tho front. Instead of still houses, debaucherv and ruin, v are to have school houses, refine ment and culture. It is hopeful, i is refreshing, it is exhilarating t( the restless spirit. Over '500,000 profit directly du to improved methods of m r keting were made off the Georgia, poach crop this year.

Singer First Cost is tfcfe Whole Cost , ' J Of course you can buy a sewing machine for less money than you would pay for a Singer all the world knows that. But consider this: When a Singer is bought and paid for, ft is paid for it lasts a lifetime. A cheap machine is never paid for. Every cent expended for repairs must be added to the original cost it's an endless system of instalments.' These instalments, added to the first cost of the machine, soon ex ceed the cost of a Singer, and after each successive repair (if you can get another part) the cheap machine grows more and more second-hand one step nearer the junk heap. . - ' The time lost,, the trouble and the worry outweigh many times over the difference in the cost between the "cheap" machine and the Singer.
