A wonderful piece of machin ery that prints, gums, perforates counts and coils postage stamps eliminating 19 or 21 processes now necessary, has been exhibi ted to Administration officials and members of Congress with a view to their formal - approval and assistance in procuring its adoption for the Bureau of En graving and Printing. , Ten such machines, each turn ing about 3.500.000 stamns a day, it is estimated will produce all the stamps now required by the Postoffice Department. Their installation, it is also estimated would mean an economy of $240, 000 a year. B. R. Stickney, inventor of the stamp printing machine and me chanic of the Bureau, put it in operation and explained its pro cess. His visitors marvelled at the complexity and completeness of this piece of mechanism. - The Bureau of Printing and Engraving hopes to find suffici ent funds in the appropriations available July 1 for the construc tion of eight more such machines The one now complete will be im mediately, put into operation. It will take nine months before any of the other machines are ready for installation. Many of thi employes of the Bureau of Prjtting and Engrav ing will be aflfected by the in stallation of the new machines, it is said. It is expected, how ever, that all such employes will be provided with other employ ment in the Bureau. 1 The coiled stamps are now used entirely for affixing and vending stamp machines, but the Burreau of Engraving and Printing Contemplates ultimate ly tne supplying of all postoffices with stamps in coils. In the opin ion oi director Kalph the coiled stamps ajre more compact, more convenient and more sanitary man are stamps m sheets. -When babv suffers with pcp ma or some itchiner skin tronhlp. use Doan's Ointment.

Get catalogue and particulars from Asheboro Motor Car Company Charles D. Hilles. chairman mittee made public tonightffl oi the Repubucan .National com mittee, made public the propos ed nlan to decrease the nercent- age of the southern and territo rial representation in the Repub lican national convention in 1916 and thereafter from approxima tely 35 per cent of the total vot ing strength of less than 16 per cent, as provided in resolutions adopted by the committee at its meeting last December. The plan is addressed to the ReDublican conventions of the several states, which are asked to ratify the action of the na tional body before- January 1, 1915. A SDecial committee, com posed of Charles B, Warren, of Michigan, senator William n;. Borah, of Idaho, and Gover ' ! Henrv D. Hatfield, of West Vir ginia, drafter the report of the action taken in December, which embodies other resolutions adop ted by the national committee. These guarantee. Recognition, in call to be is sued for the next national con vention, of the riffht of anv state to provide for the election of delegates in direct primaries. The right of any state to elect all delegates from the state at large, or part from the state at large and part from congression al districts. These provisions were adopt ed with a view , to eliminating contests before the national body such as in the past have produced discord and dissension. Some members of the nation al committee spurred on by the insistent demands of a large body of voters, sought to have the committee call a special con vention for the purpose of adopt ing a new basis of representa tion, but the opinion prevailed of those who maintained that in asmuch as no methods were pro vided by the existing laws of the various states for the election of delegates to such convention in direct primary elections, the special convention might not represent the sentiments and de sires of a majority of the parly. It was resolved that the na tional committe consider the Question, formulate its conclu sions and submit the result of its deliberation for ratification by state conventions. In recit ing the views that actuated the national body the special com mittee of three says: "The committee believed that should conventions of delegated representatives of the party, convened in the number oi states entitled to cast a majority of the votes in a national convention. ratify the action taken by the national committee in this re spect, its action could be assum ed to fairly express the senti ment of the great majority of the party, for obviously such conventions when taken togeth er would consist of more repre sentatives of the party than would be assembled in a national convention. the purpose of nominating can didates, for state offices, or for the purpose of adopting a party platform, or. by. any convention called by the. Republican state committee and held before Janu ary 1, 1915. j The statement of mm' ait i 1 Jm the special committee that dratt ed the plan for presentation to the several Republican state con ventions concludes with the fol lowing r, "The Committee armointed to --r i present the proposed plan to the state convention believes that it is desirable from every point of view that the action of the. na tional committee be rectified and made effective. All who are or posed to the fundamental princi ples of the Democratic party should join m the election of delegates to the national con vention to be convened in 1946. The basis proposed for the elec tion of delegates assures the states having the greatest num ber of Republican votes a larger proportion oi voting strength m the supreme council of the party. and by the change made in the rules the way is open for the separate states to enact laws for the election of delegates in primary elections, and for the majority of the voters partici pating in -the primaries to elect delegates who will voice the sen timent of the majority. JETTON HOME MARKED RED Threatening Signs Put on David son Residence "The plan adopted and recom mended for ratification provides that the ReDublican voters in each state shall hereafter be rep resented in a national conven tion of the party by four dele-gates-at-large. two delegates for each representative-at-large in uongress one delegate from each Congress, one delegate from each congressional district and and additional district in which the vote of 1908 for any Repub- ican nominee for Congress m 1914 shall not have been less than 7,500. "Alaska and the District of Columbia under the nlan Dre- sented will each be entitled to two voting delegates while- Ha waii, Porto Rico and the Phillin- pine Islands will each be entitled to two delegates without the right to vote.' The result of this chancre in the basis of representation, of ratified by the requisite number oi state conventions, will be a decrease of 89 votes as follows: Alabama will lose 8. Arkansas 3. Florida 4, Georgia 11, Louisiana 8, Mississippi 8, New York 2, North Carolina 3, South Caro- ma 7, Tennessee 3. Texas 16. Virginia 8, Hawaii 4, Porto Rico z and Fhillippme Islands 2. Under the plan presented a congressional district not en titled to two delegates on the vote cast in the presidential election in 1980 will qualify for two if 7,500 or more votes are Cast fOr the Rermhli fun nnmi nee in the Congressional election this tall. Anticipating criticism from hose who believe that a still greater decrease should have been provided in southern rep resentation, - the special com mittee in its recital says it is within the province of a majori ty of the convention of 191 fir if it so desires, to establish anoth er new. basis for future conven tions. ' The nlan can be ratified hv any' Republican' contnjionor Whether for Dumose of intim idation or as simply an expres sion oi ill feelmcr certamlv serving to recall one of the most distressing tragedies that ever occurred m Mecklenburg coun ty the residence of Mr. R. Mon roe Jetton in Davidson was-placarded during the early hours of yesterday mornins- with marks and splotches of bright red paint and likewise the name of "Jetton" that appeared in the hrm name on the window of the White-Jetton ComDanv was marked out, the erasure being done also with red paint and during the early morning hours ine marks on the Jetton resi dence consisted of a big crops, done in bright red on the front doors, with the bars as wide as a man s hand and a yard in lenerth and so situated and arranged as to be visible lor a block distant. A similiar cross appeared on the noor oi the porch and on each of the teps leading to the porch were siotches of red paint, all affording a highly gruesome spectacle. Just who did the work in not known nor are there any clues that might lead to the guilty person or persons. Mr. Houston J. Brown of the Brown Mercantile Comnanv. stated to an Observer represen tative last nicht that he had nh- observed three or four men on horseback comincr evidently from the direction of the Jetton home about 2:15 o'clock yester day morning as he was on his way home alter a lengthy seige with his books but that he could not suggest or crive anv clue as to who they were, where they came from or whither they were going. He turned and waited un til he had gotten in his houe and they thev Dassed hv. Not having any 'reason to suspect -aiiy thing at that time he remarked the fact but paid no special at tention to them. That the Jet ton name on the druc firm win dow was also marked out durint? the night was evidenced by the fact that it was there at 11:30 whereas it had been stricken out with the same red mint earlv the next morning. There were no suggestion ad vanced yesterday in Davidson as to who-could have done all this other than zealous partisans of the late Dr. W. H. Wooten who was killed by Mr. Jetton in his wife's bedroom early in Februa ry. The suggestion was advanc ed that college students, eager to perpetrate an April fool joke, might have been responsible, but this was denied nor was there anyone who believed such to be the case. The only traces left by the midnight visitors at the Jetton home were several tracks of a man or men, evidently in stock ing feet and to one side was a place where several horses had evidently stood for several min utes. Charlotte Observer. Mail Orders and" Advertising'. Governor Hodges of KansasJn addressing the Southeastern -Lumber men recently, devoted a portion of his speech to a discus sion of the man order houses of the country, and told exactly why it is that thev flourish at w ----- the expense of local business concerns in every section. The following paragraph from Gov ernor Hodges' address" deserves to be ; read by every marchant and other business man in the land: "I want to talk to you upon the mail order proposition. The reason that mail order houses flourish is that business men generally do not advertise. If every retailer would set aside apportion of his revenue for ad vertising, and advertise exten sively, he could compete' with mail order houses. You must patronize your local caoer. Ad vertise your wares ; give an hon est description of the article you want to sell, cret it before the people and give them the rierht price. They say that these men who send their catalogues over the country have a wond erful advantage over the one, two or. three men in busi ness, but their overhead ex penses are far srreater than yours and the difference be tween the overhead expenses will enable you to meet their prices on the same erade of goods. Advertise well, the bu siness comes to them through this advertising. The trouble is that our farmer friends in their business are a good deal like business men m their busi ness! they are selfish; they do not investigate. It should be your purpose to carry on this investiation, this school of edu cation. And I sav to vou. becin that right close around here." Wadesboro Ansoman. Uncle Walt on the Early Fly. The early fly is the one to swat. It comes before the weather is hot, and sits around and files its legs, and lays at least ten million eggs, and ev ery egg will bring a fly that will drive us crazy by and by. Oh, Oh, every fly that skips our swatters will- have five million sons and daughters, and count less first and second cousms and aunts and uncles, scores of doz ens, and fifty-seven billion nieces: so knock the blamed thing all to pieces. And every niece and every aunt unless we swat them so they can't will lay enough dodgasted eggs to fill up ten five-flrallon kecrs. and all these eggs, ere summer hies, win bring forth twenty trillion flies. And thus it o-oes on, and endless chain, so all our swatting is m vain unless we do that swatting soon, in Maytime and in early June. So. men and brothers, let us rise, gird up our loins and swat the flies ! and sis ters, leave your cozv bowers where you have wasted crolden hours; with ardor in your souls and eyes, roll ud Vour sleeves and swat the flies!
