That dearly loVed "institution, "the leave to print," under which Congressmen annually send postage free,-, to their constitu ents tons of imaginary speeches thsy never mad6 liberally sprinkled with mythical "laughter" and psychologic al "applause" is to be curtailed if a bill considered favorably today by both Houses, passes. A bi-partisan. riport from the joint printing committee urge3 these facts in favor of the bill. A million volumes a year, many printed on fine paper and bound in leather, have to be sold, as waste pa per because no one takes the trouble to frank them out. 'janitors and building superintend ents complain that whole basements are lilcially filled with virtual waste paper, so that the government has to rent additional Bp'abe to. store coal and wood. : Pivate manufacturing firra3,acting in eollusion with -Senators and mem bers, have had printed and franked at publie sxpense "puffs" virtual ads though described' as'exnositioris" of their plants, factories and industries.

The State's donations totalled more than $31,000 Friday night- Estimates by tho War Department show that nearly $250,000 is needed in Yadkin and Catawba valleys alone, to ray nothing of the nerds of other flood-stricken sections. The Govern ment has only appropriated $100,000 and the State so fur "has not given $35,000, so tha need for more money is very apparent. It is again suggested that persons who would like to add to former con tributions, m view of tho reporting ous estimates, do so, and persons who of greater damage than from previ- have not given anything are invited to consider the seriousness of the con ditions in Western Carolina.

PENNSYLVAf nuiTiur mm Liddell Negro, Victim Per sons Own Race, Crowing Belief in Neighborhood Authorities Want a Wit ness It could not be said after the cor- on?r s inquest i nuay evening wheth er a white man or a colored man shot Lazarus Rouse at his home in the Liddell section last Tuesday morning, tho injury resulting in his death on Friday. L'at wnocver it was was mem ber of a pairly disguised as zebras or Fiji islanders decorated for a war dance or something of the sort. That much came out sufficiently strong in the evidence, ncivny all hearsay, to convince the corencr'a jury that there was something "crooked" about the faces of the slayer and his compan ions.- Ssvoral witnesses wero exam ined. ,Tho coroner and his jury went into the matter to thresh it out as fully 'as possible. A post-mortem ex- cmination was made to avoid having it to do later on. The load of gun. shot was shown to have entered the aids of. Rouse's face, scattering shots penetrating the brain. The jury stat ed that Rouse met death at the hands of a person or persons unknown. Nicey Rouse, known to the authori ties heretofore as Celia Rouse, moth er of the victim and a midwife, told of the appearance at her home of tho murderer, who had for a companion a stripling. It was dark, of course, at the hour, 1ut Nicsy Rouso evident-! ly thought sh would have known Jno. Rouso, fosteT brother of Lazarus, had thu assailant been that person, as suspected in -some ;qua.rters, in fact. acpused., by Lazarus Rouse after the shooting. The face of the- assailant was streaked, according to Nicey. Af ter she hud opened the door to the man, he declared that she was wanted at a white home in which the -stork had visited. He Inquired of Lazarus Rouse, who was lying on a bed, the (state of his hsalth, and then threw up the gun that ho carried and put an end altogether to the health which he had been solicitous about. Then per sons on the outside fired a fusillade. Sheriff Taylor found 14 cartridge shrlls that afternoon. Witnesses who ave hearsay evi dence and testified to the deceased's character informed Coroner Wood and his jury, the latter men picked for in telligence, that it had boon rumored that Rouso' had made improper ire- marks about white girls, had broken up a colored couple's home, had carn- ;d the dislike of his own race in 'the neighborhood, etc. One witness pravo an, interesting bit of testimony to the effect that ' Joe Cooper, colored, had tertd him tht hi met four men 'on 6 road, th;t they were "strangc-looldng," and had held im up, making him promine not' to testify against them and to leave the community. Cooper fulfilled tho lat ter promise, certainly; the Sheriff cannot find him. Cooper, it is said, id not state that he knew the men, who appeared 'to be painted black, with whits pirsteasronu with white stripes around their faces, but intimated that he "would have known them had they not been paint ed," or in other words that he be lieved he recognized their voices. It is not known if Cooper thought them to be white men. The officials would like to get up with Cooper. Opinion in the Liddell section has changed some. It is now thought there that negroes took re venge upon Rouse for his hullyinrj ways and indecency. County officials frankly admit they don't know what to think of the situation. Had John Rouse, said to have been a "rival of Lazanis in a love affair, wanted to get him out of the way, it is not Jikely that he would have organized a party to accomplish it, they say. And as for the accusation by Lazarus, it is pointed out that the enmity be-, tween the two might have been deep enough to cause him to falsely accuse the foster brother. Besides, John Rouse proved an alibi. . . , About four hundred men, women and children, three hundred and sev-cnty-five of whom were operatives of the kinston Cotton Mills and Orion Knitting Milla and twenty-five were officials, members of the office forces and invited guests, were the partici pants in a most enjoyable outing to" Morehcad City Friday.
