Washington, Oct 24.-After
upinor in continuous session since
the inauguration of Woodrow

prolonged efforts to p wcore cot
ton relief legislation finally col
lapsed Leaders in this moyement
agreed to adjourn only
tion that pending cotton
measures would have right of
way when Congress reconvenes
December 7.
Not more than dO members of
the house and less than a quorum
of the senate were presented
when the gravels fell on adjourn
ment without date. The end was
accomoiished through passage of
a concurrent resolution end'n>
the session at 4 p. ra., but clocks
were turned ahead in both
chambers, actual adjournment in
tie house occurring at and
ia the senate at 3:27.
As the altered hands of the
' clock drew near four and the
senate was winding up executive
business. Speaker Clark arose
at his desk and facing the scat
tered attendance on the floor
S3*G*
'This is the longest and most
iaborous session that Congress
ever known. I congratulate
you most heartily on being able
to adjourn at last. I wish to
thank every member of the
house-Democrat, Republican,
Progressive and Independent—
for uniform courtesy shown to
the speaker. Now, in the lang

sentatives, Senator Smith, of 1
Georgia, and Representative i
Henry, of Texas said it was ap- i
parent no quorum could be pre-

tactics might injure chances of j
ultimate success. Representative

ber, when the fight could be re

duced a bill for a $250,000,000 j
government bond issue to buy j 1

A UNIQUE RECORD
Very Few Like It In Our Broad Re
public.
Home testimony for Doan's Kidney
Pills, published la every locality, is of
itself convincing evidence of merit.
Ccntirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago, a citi

Kidney Pills. The statement is now
confirmed—the proof more convincing.
Cases of this kind are plentiful in the
work of Doan's Kidney Pills—the re

GERMAN CRU SER i
|NKS THIRTEEN
British Merchant Traffic in J
South Atlantic Suffering
Considerably.
A dispatch from Teneriffe,
Canary Is!ands under date of
Thursday reports that the Ger- x
man cruiser Karisruhe has sunk
thirteen Britsh Merchant men
in the Atlantic
The news of the Karlsruhe's
exploit, was brought to that
port by the German steamer ,
Crefeld. which arrived there
with the crew of the British
steamers Strathroy, Maple,
Branch, High'and Hope Indrani, '
Rio Inussua Farn, Niceto, Miria,
Cervantes, Cornish City, Pruth,
Cjndor. and Lvnrowan, all of
which were sunk by the Karls- i
ruhe. The Crefeld was accom
panied into port by the German
st aners Pr.tagoi.ia, Hio Negro i
and Assension.
A later message states more
than four hundred men of the
crew are p-isoneis :ni that the ;
merchantmen were mostly sunk
in the Atlantic. Ihe ships were
mostly engaged in the South
American trade and their total
tonnage is about 60.000.
The Cruiser Karlsrhuhe. a ship
of a trifle less than 5.000 tons,
has had in this war a career as
eventful in the Atlantic as that
of her smaller sister ship, the
Emden, ki the Indian ocean.
The Karlsruhe fist came into
notice at the outbreak of the war
when she appeared in the vicinity
of Sandy Hood apparently in wait
for British merchantmen leaving
New York. For a few days the
British shipping hugged their
piers and then came news that
the Karlsrvhe had been driven
away by the approach of several ,
British cruisers.
On August 9. the Karlsruhe ap
peared in the horbor of San Juan,
Porto Rico, where she coaled and
then again took to the seas. Soon
after it was learned the Karls
ruhe had been in a sensational
runniDg fight at sea with the
British cruisers Suffolk and Bris
tol.
It appears that the British cru
isers came unexpectedly upon
the Karlsruhe while she was
coaling from the German steam
er Kron-Prinz Wilhelm. The
cruisers engaged in running fight
while the KronPrinz Wilhelm
through her superior speed, easi
ly escaped. The Karlsruhe also
eluded her persuers ana an un
confirmed report had it that she
damaged the Bristol in this fight.
"Since then the Karlsruhe has
appeared in several West Indian
ports for coal after preying in
various southern seas on British
commerce. An official statement,
given out in Berlin on October 3,
said she had sunk seven British
steamers in the Atlantic.
The Karisruhe is a compara
tively new ship, having gone
into commission early in 1913.
She is very fast, having a speed
of 27 knots which has enabled
her thus far to successfully elude
the persistent British pursuit.
Her main armament consists of
twelve 4.1-inch guns. She car
ried a crew of 373 men.

Juniors Present Flag and Bible to
School.
Qjite a large crowd was at
Grand View School house Satur
day, the occasion being that of
the presentation of a flag, Bible
and bell to the school by the
local council of the Jr. p. U. A.
M. A large picnic dinner was
spread on a table about 50 feet
long and something like 300
present partook of the delicious
spread.
Hon. W. C. Feimster of New
ton was present and delivered an
address lasting about 40 minutes
on the "Making of a Man." The
Bible, flag and bell were pre
sented to the school by Prof. C.
M. Staley in a few well chosen
words and same was accepted by
Mr. L. L. Lowdermiik of Brook
ford in a happy manner.
This school building is a new
one recently erected to serve the
patrons of a new district em
bracing the territory between
the Brookford road on the east
and reaching to West Hickory on
the west.
This Dractice of the Juniors in
giving flags and Bibles to the
schools of the country is a very
commendable one, inspiring
patriotism and encouraging the
reading of the Bible, the great
est of all book?, in the schools.
Bee Business Buzzing
North Carolina bee-keepers
have just completed gathering
the 1914 hor.ey crop. According
to the Bureau of Crod Estimates
of the l&ited States Department
of Agriculture, the yield per
colony of bees was 36 pounds. In
1913 the production per hive was
25 pounds.
The increased production b
said to be due to the enormous
> crop of wild flowers this season.
The latest census figures of the
! bee and honey industry of this
i State relate to 1910. That year
i there were 36,248 farms in North
Carolina that kept bees and the
, total number of colonies was
130,178,

STATE COULD PAY ALL
DEBTS; HAVE WAKEY LEFT
Treasurer B. R. Lacy Issues
Statement on States Fi
nancial Condition.
North Carolina has not borrow
ed any m:>ney for running ex
penses since the Russell admin
istration- Since that ; time
the appropriation to the old
soldiers has been raised from
$200,000 until last year it waa
$542 675. This includes the pen
sions of half a million, the Soldi
ers' home of $44,000, the mark
ing of the Confederate graves,
and the confederate museum.
The public schools have been
increased from $250,000 to $650,-•
000, and all this has been done
out of the regular revenue with
out issuing a dollar's worth of
bonds.
The legislation of 1901 made
appropriation to pay debts fcft
by Republican predecessor of
$72,400.
It also appropriated $312,000
for permanent improvement.
The revenue of the State could
not pay both these items and
the maintenance appropriations
and therefore, the Legislature
of 1903 authorized a bond issue
of $300,000 ten-year bonds, So
you see even in that early day
we paid $84,400 out of the run
ning expenses, from the taxes.
The Legislature of 1905 auth
arized the issue of $250,000 eight
year bonds to pay the old Repu
blican South Dakota suit debt,
which should not be charged to
the Democratic Party.
In 1909 the Legislature finding
the insane asylums crowded and
insane people in the jails, ap
pointed a commission to issue
$-300,000 worth of bonds for ad
ditions to the insare asylums.
In 1910 our 4 per cent bonds
became due, and we funded
them by issuing new forty-year
4 per cent bonds to the amount
of $3,430,000.
In 1911, the present building
being crowded, the Legislature
appointed a commission, headed
by Col, Ashley Home, to issue
bonds for $200,000 to build a
Supreme Court and Library
building which was very much
needed. Also the same year
they issued $60,000 worth of
bonds to erect a building for the
School of Feeble-minded.

Rally Day a Success*
Rally Day at the First Metho
dist Church, last Sunday* was a
complete success. At the San
day School hour there were 478
members present and also quite
a number of visitors. Two new
class rooms have recently been
completed-one for the Infant De
partment and the other for the
Men's Bible Class and we hope
soon to have both filled. The
slogan of the Bible Class this
year is "Come and bring a man"
and they have room for you.
Come next Sunday. You need
them, they need you.
The Philathea Class had 64
members present and 13 visitors.
Since last January this class has
tripled its membership and con
tinues to grow.
The Baraca and Philathea
Classes had charge of the eleven
o'clock service and every number

of our town who would like to
visit or join us, A welcome
awaits you and the welcome will
