There will be added to the" village about twenty-five dwelling : houses, part of which have already been built, in order to accommodate the addi tional help for the mills. Both the Clara and Dunn mills are practically new, being only about five years old, but some of the people who have been with the mill since it first started, and others who joined' the forces later, have been saving up their money, until now there are three fam ilies who own their, own homes. Mrs. J. S. Huffstettler moved -from the country some ..time ago; selling her farm and purchasing a lot. Al though all the money was not earned in the mill which went ' to pay V for the home, yet she and. her family Are counted among the savers of the vil lage.

The Senator has taken exactly the position taken by Taft, Roosevelt, Settle, and every Republican for-the last fifty years, to-wit: , That one must.be. either a Free-trader or a Protectionist. Unfortunately, a -Republican Senator Bradley, of Kentucky) threw a little tobacco in Mr. Rogers' eyes on September . 20th, since which ; time Mr. Rogers has been just as blind as a Republican to the true Democratic position on the tariff, to-wit: Neither Free trade nor Protection,, but "FOR REVENUE ONLY." Mr. Rogers, -also on October' 2nd gorged himself on peanuts, since which time he has been " dyspeptic, choleric and despondent, and argued ; more boldly ., the same doctrine that Settle;' Butler and all otlier -Republicans are now preach ing throughout-North Carolina, to-wit : that one niust either, be. for protection or free trade-.- 'J . , -,: ' ' ; - - - ' ' 1 !. l : - ' . : Mr. Rogers' knows, or at deast every other, intelligent -man in' North Caro- Una knows, ; tliat neitlier Governor Kitchin . nor any otlier; Democrat ever de clared for; free-trade.
