J. . 1 W SENATOR OSCAR 'ER ' WOOD DISCUSSES "t PROPOSED TARIFF l Senator .Oscar : Underwood, .of Ala bama, when member of the house of representatives JbuSt up a' reputation ' as an authority on the tariff." He was chairman of the ways and means com mittee and his name, was affixed to the tariff law, which '. was known as the Simmons-Underwood tariff hill. Under this law, the country enjoyed the greatest prosperity ever xknowti .since the Walker tariff. - vX". , -Senator " Underwood -has written for the New i York Times, " a great metropolitan newspaper," long article oh the proposed tariff a law now be 'fore the senate -Following are some of the most pertinent paragraphs: . "I have always opposed in. principle the theory of protection", and have leaned strongly to the idea that cus toms taxation Bhould be "levied, pri marily in the interest of revenue for the government, and that all rates of taxation should be so-adjusted as to allow a reasonable inflow .' of goods from abroad in order that the custdm house might have; an opportunity to take its toll as, they, passed through and some degree of competition might be established- I have never contend ed that, in the interest' of a revenue tariff, it is, necessary to bring about destructive competition, but a tariff that fixes the rates of, taxation so high as to practically prohibit foreign goods from entering the American market at all has been abhorrent to my ideas of the proper use of the tax ing power of the congress of the Unit ed States. ' '--" ' V - .., Outstrips All Other Bills. "There are some 'few. low rates in the pending bill."' There are Borne ar- tides on the free list. . But, taking it all in" all, it is undoubtedly the most nrohibitive tariff bill that has ever been proposed in the American con cresa. and the rates of taxation are higher -and less defensible than any that have ever been presented to us in the past. It looks as if those charged with the , responsibility of writing the bill have accepted unquali fiedly the rates proposed by the special interests desiring protection and have not given consideration to the resun ant effect on the general business or tne country or me Auraens iwi musnwra coumy iaiiea to cawn- ana wno years, in equal annual, installment be borne by the consumers of Ameri- made his escape by swimihihk a creek.

Sinee his 'retirement he has -been at his home at Hemp, but has on numerous occasions assisted the Moore coupty officials in bringing offenders of the law-lnto -custody. . Mr. Brown was deputized Saturday at noon and - together with Deputies John Brown, Millard Williams and Bil ly Moore, late in the afternoon went into the Howard Mill section, four miles from Hemp, arriving there about dark., They discovered the still in full blastr the crackling of the fire at tracting their 'attention, whereupon they concealed themselves. Soon after' they also discovered a man across the hill, seated witha gun, presumably watching. The other deputies wanted io shoot, but Mr. Brown urged cap turing' him more quietly, whereupon he started- toward him, commanding him to halt. " The man opened fire, shooting twice missing his 'mark but Mr. Brown shot and the man fell but hks not been found. In the meantime two men were discovered in the rear and they begart' firing on Mr. Brown, the result of which is that twenty-nine shot Tpierced his body. -His cdmpan- ion8 lmmemaieiy began trying to car- ry Drown-out noi neeuin nis appeal to capture the men and still and look after hint later.

EX-PRESIDENT WILSON ENJOYING BETTER HEALTH The many friends of ex-President Wilson in the state will be pleased to learn of a bulletin that was issued to the daily papers Sunday concerning the state of his health. In spite of contrary rumors, the former president shows remarkable vitality and keen mental action, it is said. His condi I . " ' tlon is described as almost normal for a man of sixty-six years in spite of the r act that he is likely to sustain another attack of partial paralysis similar to the. one he suffered three years ogo at almost any time. His physician further stated that he may live on quietly as he does for ten years to come without a return of his trouble. The fact that he is in better condition today than he was a year ago is encouraging to his friends and admirers who feel a keen interest In his health ond welfare. ASHEBORO FURNITURE CO.

Richmond is in gala attire for the grey-clad soldiers who followed Lee and Jackson. The meeting opened Tuesday morning with General Julian C. Carr, of Durham, commander-in-chief, presiding. The historic city is honoring the guests and housing them in mansions of the rich and cottages of the poor 1 alike. Every section of the south is represented.. Randolph county has sent the fol lowing who are holding up the banner and who are assuring their friends of other states the greatness of the Tar Heel state: ' A. C. Rush, Asheboro route 3. Jesse T.

St Clair.) sidy bill, one of the most vicious measures ever conceived by the repre- sentatives of a free people. When Harding entered on to the du ties of his exalted office, he said, "let Congress hoe its own row and I will hoe mine." For the first year of his administration, Congress took the ldad and ran wild. Nobody on Capi tol Hill paid any serious attention te the man in the White House but dur ing these months there was the U. S. Shipping Board under the direction of Chairman Lasker . spending millions of the people's money in flooding the country with propaganda in favor of this Ship Subsidy Bill, which if it ev er becomes a law will take $75,000, 000 annually from the public treas ury and give nothing but graft, pecu lation, bribery and favoritism in re turn. But the flood of propaganda did not cause the people to bring pressure upon Congress, so the repre sentatives of the private ship owners leaders ot his party in Congress that the ship subsidy bill must be passed at this session. If not he would call an extra session. In making his threat he cracked his new whip to let the boys hear the sharp, violent cut into the air of the red lash. The whip looks cruel and relentless but the atmosphere around Capitol Hill lurks with intimations and hints that there is balm in Gilead in the form of a congressional slush fund raised by some of the private ship owners. The private ship owners were not ready to trust their fate entirely to this nopce with a whip, at least so reports say. They know that even a Republican house with over 130 majority might balk at passing the most corrupt bill ever inspired by predatory interests to raid the treasury. Notwithstand- "'f n e Dili would have got it witn it win pay you," but lo and behold some Paul Pry prohibitionist riisrnwro,i tv,0 ,,.;,, i; . 1 shipping board ships and everyone of ,the (irys in the house who had opened his mouth to swallow the bill has shied oil with imprecations on Lasker and the shipping board gang. 1'rom an economic business point of view there is not a shadow o1 excuse lor this ship subsidy bill.
