Ideal weather marked the paEsinf of the s"how. "Roosevelt luck," hli admirers called it, and not until th? parade had disbanded and Rougi Riders and Spanish War .Veterani had dispersed did the sky open its flood gates and drench the streeu with a furious downpour.

A little -laugh went around the boats as the faithful Loeb took charge of the coat, and then, while another salute of twenty-oire guns split the ears from the South Carolina.

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.

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.

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.
