WMfaington, May 1.—-Repre-
sentaflve Doughtbs waa today
called back to his home at Laur
el Springs beesnee of the critical
condition of hie mother. Upon
hie return to hie office today
from his home he found a tele
gram stating bis mother, Mrs.
Rebecca Doughton, was not ex
pected to live through the day.^
The' veteran North Carolina
solon'was plainly affected by the
condition of his mother who is
98 years of age. Mrs. Doughton
reared a family of nine children
in the mountain country of
North Carolina. Until Congress
man Doughton reached manhood
his mother spun cloth on an old-
fashioned spinning wheel and
made his clothes by hand. Until
he was 21 th© only “manufac
tured goods’’ he ever wore were
those used in his shirts. It is
such a man as this, one reared in
a home where “store-bought
goods’’ was something practical
ly unknown, who now heads the
most powerful committee in Con
gress. No greater tribute could
be paid to the American demo
cratic form of government.
Remembering the toil of his
mother, Mr. Doughton with a
heavy heart left tonight for his
mountain home, praying that he
would reach her bedside before
she passed on to the Great Be
yond.
While here Doughton reported
a remarkable Improvement in
economic conditions in North
Carolina and said there can be
no doubt “but we are on cur
way to better days.” President
Roosevelt he declared, is strong
er with the people than ever be
fore.

I vin Purvis, chief of the Depart-

the receiver is directed to pay a
dividend of 10 per cent on ac
knowledged claims against the
company. Attention is called to
“a large number of small claims
outstanding,” accounts which
are expensive to handle, and the
receiver is authorized to pay in
full such claims in the event the
amount is not in excess of $10.
