Ideal weather marked the paEsinf
of the s"how. "Roosevelt luck," hli
admirers called it, and not until th?
parade had disbanded and Rougi

had dispersed did the sky open its
flood gates and drench the streeu

and wet to the skin before he <^ould

salute of twenty-oire guns split the
ears from the South Carolina. Mr.
Roosevelt made his way to the deck
of the Androscoggin. A cheer that

These was a. large gathering, of the
farmer* here last Saturday. The pur
pose of the meeting was, as -has al
ready been published In this paper,
to set up a Farmers' County Union.
The meeting was called to order by
County Organiser G. C. 'Hedgep,eth,
\who Introduced the State' organiser,
fMr. J. Z. Green, of Marsh vllle. N. C
Mr. Qreen spoke for about one hour
and a half. His speech was enjoyed
and highly appreciated by Beaufort
county farmers.
.Mr. Green discussed the history
and object of the Farmers' Educa
tional and Co-operative UQion of
(America. During his address he
'proved to the farmer* that they were;
| spending $12,000,000 per year right
| here in North Carolina for commtr-ij
clal fertiliser when by co-operating
with one another ' and sowing peas
tfcey might sove $6,000,000.
The farmers of this county seem .to
l^e very much interested In the Onion
work and from the way they express
themselves It now seems that 'this
county win ^ ** thoroughly organ*
ised as any otter county hi North
Carolina. But 'ft is only right that
the farmers should be organised,
and being organised they can accom
plish a / great deal that will promote
their interests. After Mr. Green fltfJ
lshed speaking Mr. Hetfgepet^ an*
nou need that' the meeting would
stand adjourned for thirty minuto.j
at which time those, who belonged to
the Union would reasseiphle- in the]

Mr. W. B. F. Patrick., of- Choco

Our contemporaries at Elizabeth

fort to convince the people that the
portion of the First district on the

For many years before Judge Ward
was appointed to the Superior court
bench he was Solicitor for this Dis
trict ^nd so long aa he remained So
licitor no effort waa made to bring
the office to the south side. How

that time to change the situation.

Washington. June 18. ? Two of the
most important of the administration
measures, namely the railroad and
statehood bills, were acted upon Anal
ly by Congress today.
' This action was taken by the
House, the Senate having previously
lisposed of both of the measures, it
was accomplished practically without
ilebate and in record time, not even
i roll-call, being required in the
whole procedure.
Itallroud Bill First.
The railroad bill was the first to
receive consideration. Chairman
Mann of the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, called the
conference report from the Speaker's
table. Brief speeches were made,
imong them several by Democrats in
expression of their opposition to the
railroad legislation as perfected in
conference.
About the only exceptions are that
It does not legalize holding agree
ments made by railroads, permit mer
gers ^ or regulate the issuance^ of
stocks and bonds. It creates u com
merce court and broaden* the scope
3 1 the jurisdiction by the Interstate
Commerce Commission as l-egarde
regulations and practices by rail
roads. It also brings telegraph, tele
phone and cable companies within
that jurisdiction.

nlssion over increases of rates, and

veil today came the deluge two hours
after the parade that escorted -him up
i .fth avenue hud diabuuded the
a hole Metropolitan district v. us swept
by tlie most violent storm in months.
In twenty minutes .GO ?ii an Inch of
rain fell while the wind at tinier at
tained a velocity of 5?s miles an hour.
.Three deaths were reported earl>
tonight . four other person* arc be
lieved to have drowned in the capsiz
ing of a Jishinfc smack off Long Is
land. whil scores of others had nar
row escapes In accidents on the wa
ter, from lightning and* in being
itruck by trees, cornices and heavy
signs hurled' to the ground by the
wind.
Baseball games were Abandoned
md for a while panic threatened tin
ier the tents of a circus, showing in
the upper part of the city.
The storm bvoke almost without
earning, preceded by a gust of wind
hat uprooted 'trees, sent street signs
lying and toro into tatters the elab
orate decorations hung out In honor
Df .Mr. Roosevelt. Then came the
iownpour, almost a cloud burst in
violence. In a moment streets were
flooded and the crowds still lingering
iown town were soaked and bedrag
gled. For an hour and a half the
storm continued causing great
lamage.
Passengers on excursion boats w
imong the -worst sufferers. Several
boats were hung up in Hell Gate by
the storm, not daring to face such
'.reacherous currents. From all along
the water fronts came reports of
icores of rowboats and sailing craft
!>eing capsized with probable loss of
life. Small craft in the harbor and
far out en tbe Long Island coast also
juffered.

Will Take Time.
It cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and New Mexico will come
Into the I'nlon under this legislation.
It requires that the constitutions
adopted by the proposed States must
be ratified by Congress and approved
by the President. Conceding that th?
statehood bill will be In force within
a few days it will be necessary for
the Territories to hold constitutional
conventions which will require many
weeks, submit the constitutions to
the people of the Territories for
adoption and return them to Wash
ington. Provision la made against
joint elections for the adoption of the
constitution and lor the nomination
or election of State officer?. It Is Im
possible. therefore, to specify when
jthe people of the two Territories will
enjoy the benefits of statehood and
many beJieve that it will not be be
fore the presidential election of 1912.

President Tali signed the railroad
bill at 10:13 o'clock, shortly after hts
