DEEP RIVER (M. E.) CHARGE It was decided last Thursday night to close the meeting at Cedar Falls— after it had been running four nights —on account of so much sickness in the community. The Reverend Mr. Gregory, of Asheboro, made a deep impression on those who heard him and it was very unfortunate that the meeting had to close. Our Easter offering on the Deep River charge amounted to $44.42. The influenza epidemic in the communities on my charge has abat ed, except Cedar Falls, which has many sufferers, where the epidemic has recently broken out. The congregation at Central Falls Sunday morning was not up to the standard. There Was a deatth in the community, a Mr. Vuneaimon, which I suppose hindered some from com ing. The Sunday school attendance was 6$, about fifty per cent of en rollment. , * All Aboard for the N Commander Byrd is on his way to Spitzbergen, up near the Antic Circle from where he wfl hop off by aeroplane for the North Pole.

HUNTER OSBORNE) Washington, D. C., April 10.—As this session of Congress draws, to a close, Republican leaders of the House are being subjected to almost daily attacks by Democrats for their fail ure to fulfill their party’s platform pledge of legislative relief for the farmers. The critics, led by Repre- j sentative Tom Connally of Texas, r have centered their onsloughts upon the members of the majority’s “shock troops” who hail from the great open spaces of the West. Connally told the House that the name of “shock troops” was given them because they “shocked the sen sibilities of every farmer in their districts by their absurd claims of benefits to the farmers from the Fordney-McCumber tariff rates.” The Texan bears the reputa tion of being one of the best rough and tumble debaters in the House. Therefore, few Republicans have had the nerve to reply to him. Represen tative J. N. (Poley) Tincher, big and fat and Be publican, from Kansas, thought things hejut gone far enough, however, and attempted to stop the unfavorable tariff talk. Then the fun began. Tincher tried to shew that the Fordney-McCumber Act was of great benefit to the farmers, despite the fact that the value of their dollar has dropped during' the Harding-Coolidge administrations to a fraction more than sixty cents. “Oh no,” Connally shot back, "the people in your district do not feel that way about it. They know, they have at last awakened to the fact, that the present high tariff is in a large measure responsible for the de plorable conditions in the agricultural industry.” “And in the elections this fall, how do you think they will treat you gen tlemen from the great farming sec tions of the country,” he asked, “who belive the way to the farmer’s pros perity is to exhorbitantly tax the iron and steel which go into his plows; that the way to the farmer’s prosper ity is to tax the clothes, the cotton goods and the woolen goods he wears on his back; that the way to promote his prosperity is to tax the household equipments in his kitchen, and the furniture in his house and the imple ments with which he toils?” Representative Burtness of North Dakota, who has taken it upon him self several times lately to defend the •Fordney rates was twitted at length by Representative Connally. The Texan said: “fie hales from a State in which, according to the newspapers, the farmers are losing their farms be cause they can not pay the interest upon their mortgages, a State in which banks have failed because they have no money and the farmers who owe them can not pay them. “That distinguished gentleman, fearing in his soul that his name, like Abou Ben Adam’s, may not be writ ten high on the scroll of honor among the tariff favorites when they gather in their little caucuses to nominate candidates, fearful that his name may not be among the anointed, and hopeful that he may be regarded as one of the outstanding friends of high protection—this man from the land of misfortune, this man from the land of distress, this man from the land of disaster, this man from the land of stricken agriculture, this man from the land of farms without farmers, from the land of farmers without farms, must got up and, like Hannibal when he made his pjedge to destroy ■Rome at the altar of Baal, rise in his place and say: “Whatever happens to North Dako NEWS OF WEEK TOLD IN BRIEF Happenings of Interest In Vari ous Parts of the State and Nation for Busy Reader.

Mrs. Reba Shutt, of Lexington, is suing the Elwood hotel, at High Point, for $10,000 damages for per sonal injury. Mrs. Shutt alleges that on the night of March 17th she went to the sample room of the Elwood hotel to buy merchandise from sales man’s samples for a Lexington store and to reach the sample room it was necessary to pass through an un lighted hallway. She tripped and fell over a trunk in this hallway, breaking her wrists. Commencement exercises of the Denton high school, at Denton, will be held May 2-5. Dr. R. M.

North Carolina’s 1925' tobacco crop amounted to approximately 376,547, 533 pounds, the largest crop since 1920 when- it reached 415 million pounds. The average price per 100 pounds recived by the growers was $22.50. Thirty-nine automobiles were stolen in North Carolina during the month of March and of this number 31 were Fords.

House Republicans who are trying to claim all the credit for tax reduc tion, which they cannot properly do, were given a rather hitter reminder this week of their activities in 1919 when they had a majority in Congress and refused to purely for political Attention was' ed and to an astute Was quoted as' of his MAY FORCE TO FARM Republicans Fear Farmer Vote At Coming Election Unless Help Is Given. (By David F. St. Clair) Washington, April 12.—Will con gress enact any legislation before its adjournment giving the farmers re lief? That pressing question is now being heard here on all sides. It arose suddenly about two weeks ago after it had been said all the winter that the fanners could not agree on any program of legislation and the administration and congress did not know what to do. The fact that the farmers were divided gave the poli ticians here a great deal of relief and some politicians are accused of try ing to keep the fanners divided so as to continue this relief. The hardest problem in this world for the politicians to solve is to re lieve the ills of the farmers by legis lation but congress has again come face to face with this great difficulty. Representatives of farm organiza tions from every section of the coun try have been in Washington for the last ten days and the senate and house agricultural committees are grinding away with their extended hearings. The secret of this revival of ener gy in an effort to put over farm legislation is said to be due to the fact that the representatives of' the; cotton, com, wheat and live stock associations slipped into the Capital unqnounced, got together on'a tenta tive plan and then went df to Secre tary Jardine of the Agricultural De partment and said: “look here, we are all here and don’t you forget it.” Mr. Jardine raised his eyes to note that toe agricultural interests of the South and West were lined up be fore him in solid wall. The secretary hastened to the White House and told the President whht he had seen. Then toe President’s spokesman's reported to have said, “if the farmers have actually got to gether as you believe, the administra-r tion will let congress hold the bag but through you the administration will act as stage manager.” The secretary accordingly began a series of conferences, talking over the situation with C. O. Moser of the American Cotton Grower’s Exchange, which has endorsed the com belt bill, provided the equalization fee does not apply to cotton, and F. W. Mur phy, chairman of the board of the American Council of Agriculture, T. C. Atkinson, representative of the National Grange; Charles S. Barrett, President of the National Board of Farm Organization; Representative Haugen, Republican, Iowa, and Sena tor Capper,'Republican, Kansas. Mr. Moser’s refusal to accept toe equilization fee in the com belt bill for cotton is attributed to the fact that in a conference between Dr. Kil gore, President, and General Manager Bl&lock of the North Carolina Coop erative Cotton Marketing Association and the North Carolina delegation in congress, it was agreed that a revolv ing fund sufficient to purchase all the surplus cotton for the purpose of sta bilizing the price was preferable to the equalization fee. The cotton farmers are willing to come in the Dickenson bill now before the senate agricultural committee with com and wheat belt and the cat-' tie and hog interests of the West pro vided the government will furnish the revolving fund for purchasing cotton. It was pointed out at the conference mentioned above that it would be well nigh impossible to get all the farmers to pay an equalization fee on cot-' About Hea CONGRESS RELIEF ACT ton by the bale at the gin. On the other hand it wm admitted that it will be very difficult to regu late the acreage and production of cotton if the government purchases a certain amount of the crop every year for the purpose of stablliiing the price. However, if the farmers of the South and West agree on the princi ple as presented in the Dickinson bill —and it now appears they have agreed—congress is in the mood to try the experiment. Although Presi dent Coolidge has opposed the plan of the government’s venture into price Axing, for that is all it is, the ad ministration if Secretary Jardine is to be beleved is ready to yiald. The fact is the administration will hot oppose any plan now that the far mers of the country solidly endorse. The Republicans are fearful that the farmers united if not given some sort of legislation to check their com plaints, will make an onslaught on the high tariff wall and play the mischief with the party’s hopes at the ap proaching election. FARMER NEWS Mary Louise, little two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hor ney, died on April'6th, of pneumonia. The funeral, conducted by Rev. G. W. Clay, was held at Concord on Tues day.
