AY T7ITH THE PORK BARREL . : ideat Taft'a denunciation of the alletl "pork barrel" in his speech la Cincinnati is the announcement of a great reform and the death knell, s i fir as he is concerned, of a' scan i dou abase- Why the Rivera and 1 1 arbors Appropriation bill in Con- r-:.-- is called the "pork barrel" may ' 3 easily guessed. The suggestion r f "hoggisbness" corresponds with t L a facts. There is a n ancient story i f a jury that acquitted of bog steal ing a prisoner whose guilt was clear ly proved. The explanation of the verdict was . that each juror had re -ived some of the pork. This story throws light on the origin of the ap plication of the "pork barrel" to the Rivers and Harbors bill. When the public treasury is looted to dig out Goose creek or enlarge Duck pond each Congressman whose vote is needed to pass the bill usually gets a a share of the loot or the "pork." The President says he proposes to veto all bills of this character. The appropriations for rivers and har bora, as they have been made for many years, have been injurious in t wo respects. It is a waste of public money. By the use of the public money for unnecessary or unimpor tant improvement tho?e that are rebl'y important Are negketed or the work dtftrnd. More than this, large sums of money are by these ap propriations used as a enrraption furd. It ha" been the constant prac tice in past years tor appropriations to he made for work in the districts of those members of Congress, if of the dominant party, whose political fences needed strengthening. One bf KryitABe State's Governor - o Philadelphia Times. Governor Stuart is one of the best story tellers in public life. He es-, chews tales which have a point that might be misinterpreted. Frequent ly, in bis campaigns, he has drawn upon bis fund in illustrating a point. Just what parallel was in the follow ing has been forgotten: "An Irishman and German were sitting on a pier fishing. Neither gave the other any concern. The Irishman philosophically smoked away at his clay, while the German seemed absorbed in thought, or was silently expecting a bite. "Suddenly the German fell into the water. The splash recalled the Irish man from bis preoccupation. That was ail it did, however. "He never made a move to offer aid to the man struggling in the stream. V : 'I can't swim,' " said the German as he came up. " ?I can't swim,' he, shouted more lloudlyas he came to the surface for the second time. I "As he was aboutto disappear for the . third time, the German cried heartrendingly: " 'I can't sw-i-m.' " It's a d d funny time to boast kbout it,' replied the smoker of the clay." Philadelphia Times. INDIGESTION GOES.

EDWIN INGRAM latcreatlag Bketca of Aim tiCoaaty Haro la BeTOlatloaarjr War. Cipt. V. I Everett in Kockingham Post. the Ingrains came from Wales. 1. William Ingram came from Wales, married Mary Stratford of England. William Kerby married Judy Moody of YorkRhire, England. 2. John Ingram, a son of William, mar ried Elizabeth Kirby.- He and his famfly moved from Northampton county, North Carolina, to the Pee Dee river section, where he lived the remainder of his life and was bnritd on land later belonging to William Little, deceased. The above John Ingram had seven sons, all of whom served in the Revolutionary War of 1776. 3. Ed win Ingram, one of the above sev en sons, married Nancy Montgomery, - as stated In a former issue of your paper. I will depart from my purpose in the outset of tracing the genealogy of the few fam ilies not to comment on good traits of any one, and relate some few of the many war episodes of Capt. Edwin Ingram during the seven year war of the Revolution of 1 1776. Capt Ingram and his wife, Nancy Montgomery of Salisbury, had- but two children Hugh Montgomery Ingram, the father of Major Sanders M Ingram, and Patsy Meridith. The above Capt. Edwin Ingram had two sisters Mary, who mar ried Hezikiah Huf, and Sarah who mar ried Absalom JDeberry. The father-in-law of Capt. Ingram, Hugh Montgomery, was a near relation of General Richard Montgamery, who fell in the battle of Quebec. He, Hugh Montgomery, raised a cavalry company for the War ot 1776 and furnished horses and outfit tor this com pany, of which he was the captain. At one time he was commissiary for the ar my and stood by Gen. Washington at the battle of Brandoes.deteat. He was buried in Salisbury, where he he had accumulat ed a large fortuue. He died February 23, 1779; his wife died iu 1S10. A full and complete history of the dar ing de-ds of the patriot, Capt. Edwin In gram, wou'd fill a large volume. He and his brothers were among the first to un furl the banner frt freedom iu tie Pee Dee country in the days of the .Revolution. He was born in Northampton county, N. C. His parents were among the first to settle in Anson county, N. C. about four miles west of Dumas' Ferry. When he was robbed by the Tories of all he had this enraged their son Edwin; who imme diately raised a company. His name soon became a terror to the Tories and horse thieves. He sewed under Gen. Francis Marion part of the time. He, with James Pickett, was sent to Salisbury on army business, where Hugh Montgomery was raising an independent company for the war. Cap. Ingram joined Montgomery's ompany. .. This brought about the meet ing of Capt. Ingram with the daughter of Capt. Montgomery. Later they married. After the marriage he was informed of the capture of Charleston, S C, by the ene my, and that Gen. Corn wallis' was en r jute : for Camden. He buckled on his knapsack, shouldered his musket and again joined General Francis Marion's command. For two years he did not again see his little family. He was well mounted and often kept on the move, bearing dispatches from one command to another. On one occasion he narrowly escaped from a band of sixty Tories, who were in pursuit of him. A lady,' knowing of his danger, sent her little daughter to apprise him of his impending danger. He scarcely had time to save himself- This is the only instance in which he turned his back to the enmy. Avanoiner time ne ana tareeor nis com panions in arms had an encounter with a band of sixty Tories near Cedar creek, in Anson county. The four were in a log house'. Their portholes were the cracks be tween the logs. They determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible, finally driving off tie Tories. At the request of Gen. Marion, Capt. Ingram raised a com pany to extirpate these bands of Tories. This was a determined band of heroes com manded by Capt. Ingram, who traversed North and South Carolina, even unto Georgia, and succeeded in scattering these lawless bands of thieves and Tories. Capt. Ingrm carried a vise in one pocket, a rope in another, and woe be to the thief, that fell into his hands. If coaxing or threats failed to bring out -the truth from one cap tured, the vise applied would soon bring the truth as to where and what disjsosi tion had been made of stolen property. At one time the house in which Capt Ingram and his associates were located was surrdund by a nnmber of Tories. Toe latter proposed to burn the house and for that purpose they sent an old Scotchman into the kitchen for a chunk of fire, that they might burn the building. As he cam: out he exclaimed iu a loud voice, "God save the king". "Zounds and blood!" In gram said. "Boys, give him hell." and several of the Tories were made to bite the dust. - Not long after, Capt. Ingram was in search of the Tories and came on a squad of them between Little river aqd Pee Dee. As he passed the plantation nearby that where Arthur Robeson afterwards lived, a Tory poked his head out of the gable window in the house and asked a friend if he had seen Capt. Ingram. Before the man outside of the house - had time to speak, Ingram's old musket answered in the affirmative. He was there, to the To ry's sorrow." V On another occasion he was at the house fa friend, who was absent at nights. Tbe house was assailed by 15 ruffians and'To ries. Captlngram's head was tbe coveted prize songht. He had no weapon with him save a barlow knife. A large man rushed into tbe house, grabbed Ingram, threw him on the floor, and while on top of Ingram the latter had only time to make a few rakes on the hearth stone to sharpen his barlow. During the time of whetting hja knife, with the other hand he was feeling for the jugular vein. With his knife he made an effort to sever the vein, uuti in 11113 uc xaiicu, buuuu mulcting a severe wound. At this the others ran off, swearing the devil was in the house. Capt. Ingram was not a professed Chris tian until about 10 years before his death. when he professed religion at Zion CamD Grounds under the preachiog of Bishop Capers. He contracted cold on a trip Irom Kocaingham to tbe mountains. He went on to his Iriend, Jaeky Cham ber", where he remained Suoday, and was then carried to his gran J son's. Rev. Wil liam Pearce, where he died in 1843 At tbe date that Capt. Ingram displayd his heroism his was a remarkable record. In the war and times of 1861-65 it was nothing unusual for our boys who wore the gray to be the actors In equally as trying episodes and the performers of even more nazaraous undertakings. Many boys, or rather men, natives of o!d Rich mond, did as much or more. Maj Sanders Montgomery Ingram was a grandson of Capt. Edwin Ingram. Maj. Ingram was a native of Richmond county and was one of the first students of Wake Forest. Later he taught school in Rock ingham In a building located on the lot now occupied by W. T. Covington & Com pany's storehouse. From here he went to Tennessee, and was teaching when the war with Mexico was declared. He en tered the army and fought through the war, after which he returned to Tennessee In 1849. He came back to his old home in this county and entered the army as 1st lieutenant la CoL O. H. Dockery's couma ny for the war of 1861-65. While in the army he was elected to the North Caroli na Legislature. - . Maj. Ingram was a brave and gallant soldier. He was born in 1818 and dkd in 1909. Doubtless all the In grams of Anson county sprang from William Ingram. May Hold Jabllca. Winston-Salem Sentinel. President Starbuck, of the board of trade has appointed the following committee to make an investigation and determine whether or not it is considered advisable to hold a jubilee here on the completion of the South bound Railway: Messrs. O. E. Webb, chairman; F. J. Lipfert, . W. N. Reynolds, W. F. Snaffner and B. J. Shephard. This committee has full power to act in tbe matter of determlng wheth er or not the jubilee will be held and they also have the power to add to tbe number of thei recommit tee and to create any new committees to aid in their work if they so desire. If they decide that it is advisable to hold tbe jubilee, ' they 8re to deter mine the date. From all that can be learned it now seems probable that this city will celebrate the completion of this railroad with a jubilee. The road means much to tbe city in a commer cial way and it seems to be the con census of opinion that a celebration will be extremely appropriate. 1 ThtUih of a Plead would have been about as welcome to A Cooper, ofjOswego, N.

A M'GORMICI BINDER CORN would soon pay for itself on any two-horse farm if you would give it a trial. You are now busy with the cotton: mules standing in stable, doing nothing;- fodder and corn need pulling; labor scarce. One man, two mules and a corn binder will pull fodder, and corn if you have pea vines or grass in the row, it will cut these for you and bind up with the corn in bundles. When your corn is shredded you will have more feed than ever before. This kind of farming will stop so much Western hay coming to this section.

That this conclusion is erroneous, and that Hobson's Eczema Ointment will effect a cure is shown by the following unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson, who for many years was a citizen of Wades boro. Mr. Wilson says: "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so called specfics for it, but without effect.
