Judging from accounts in the papers, that Gen nan cruiser must
been the Roon of many a British vessel.
Another victim of one of life*3 little tragedies is the man in *
?mall town who buys a silk hat ? and then there isn't a single wed

Still another tragedy is that of the young lady who purchases fig

We trust that in appointing the "advisory committee" to assist
in taking care of the good roads work in the county, the commission
ers will fir>t make cer.ain that their men are going to accept, before
giving the names out to the public. This plan would undoubtedly
U< more satisfactory all around.
With Weeks out of the race and Hughes refusing to let the Re
publicans use his name as a candidate, circumstantial evidence points
a decidedly accusing finger at our little friend Teddy. And all that
Teddy does is to sit quiet and look innocent.
K. E. Hodges has announced his intention of refusing lo accept
a place on the bond issue commission. We sincerely trust that Mr.
Hodges will reconsider his decision and that he will consent to serve
the township in the good roads matter. He is too good a man to br
left off the committee.
CIVIC INDIFFERENCE.
A meeting of the Chamber'of Commerce was held Tuesday uighi.
Various subjects were brought up and after they were discussed, the
meeting adjourned. Srvernl members made the remark, upon leas
ing the room, that they were disappointed because no action had bee:
taken upon Mr. Proffitt's suggestions, which were embodied in n re
cent speech that gentleman delivered before thp Chamber.
Why no word was brought up regarding this matter is rather
?trange. It is true that Mr. Proffitt merely generalized and did not
po very much into detail regarding the projects he mentioned, but
that was no excuse why the Chamber should not investigate the pos
sibility of securing small factories for Washington or why gome
commirtee should not be appointed to look after this matter.
T!v? word "factory*' was not even mentioned ar the Thi
i* one of tin- iuoM important lines of work that the Chamber can
take up at the present time. It is vital to the welfare of the city
?nd every resident of the city. To pass the matter over without oven
the smallest kind of a discussion does not speak very well for the
progressiveness of the members of tho organization.
BEAT FORT COrXTY TOBACCO.
One of the local tobacco men stated this morning thai while in
Richmond recently and while conversing with prominent tobacco men
of that city, he saw many samples of weed which had come f rjpn the
Washington marker. Tie added that the tobacco men of V irginia
were most favorably impressed with the crop grown in Beaufort
county and that in their opinion it was of a better quality for certain
uses than that grown anywhere eke in the country.
This gentleman is not the first who has made this remark. Jt has i
been conceded by a large number of tobacco men that Beaufort county
?oil is peculiarly adapted to the raising of tobacco. It can be made
one of the most profitable crops that the farmers of this county can
raise. The acreage is gradually being increased and as the Beaufort
weed becomes more generally known it will come into greater de
in'and. If the farmers and the local warehousemen co-operate and
work together with the idea of helping each other it will not be long
Wore Washington liecomes known as i?ne of the leading markets
of the countrv.
Palm Beach comes out with a new sensation, according to news
reports from that city. Here's the latest:
Conversation stockings are the latest in hosiery. Some I
of these seen here are of hand-made lace and cost up
to $100 a pair. One has a mouse at the skirt line, while j
its mate says, "Watch your step." Another says "De
V lighted," while its companion shows a clock face with
the hands at 12 and the words "Good night."
Of course all this "conversation" i? f??r the public eye r.> sc.*.
Gosh, wouldn't it be awful if sotne of the holder ones came out with
the Declaration of Independence neatly woven iirto the silk!

A FAIR illustration of the busi

the Congressional union was
shown when, on the very day that
the Sixty-fourth congress began it*

when we realize

; I lie strength of
MR8. O. H. P.
BELMONT.
the suffrage movement has, been
(irmly established and the states al
ready won for the cause have been
able to resurrect the national issue,
women have learned it is not enough
that great issues be initiated by the
people of the nation.
IT is NECESSARY that they
BE URGED BY THE MEN IN
POWER.
We find loaders of political par
ties and groups of other men decid
ing on what shall be made an issue
and forthwith proceeding to make
an issue of that particular measure
decided upon. It is therefore in
cumbent upon the suffragists of the
countrvj^#?llow this time honored
custofTTTrtnd the Congressional un
