M. Brinson : HIS CHANCES FOB CONGRESS Mr. Brinson U Regarded as One of the Host Able Men Colorado Has Pro. daeed in Many Tears Hit Famous Debate, . The Daily News, of Denver; Col ' o'rado, In its issue of August 26th, pays a -high compliment to Attorney James M. Brinson, in a two column story, and also carries a cut of him. - Mr. Brinson is a New Bern boy and is the brother of our townsman, At torney S. M. Brinson. superintendent of Public Schools of Craven County. Of Mr. JameB M. Brinson, the News says: while it is not absolutely necessary for a congressman to be able to de liver an address, and, quite frequently, . if not nearly always, it is rather a desirable qualification if he is unable to uo aiiyuiing more than muKe signs, I still the popular mud associates a tkJ congressman with eloquence, and if a 'IL i ... man can effervesce ueautuui and aa- Jectiveful word pictures, especially V during a campaign, the better for him, I - . and more . power to his elbow or, f s rather, tongue. That is, if a congressman must make 'f. ,.. speeches, it is well to have one who can make good speeches. Anybody can run for congress, all V V bnrbut" Everyone cannot geT a firm 1 ;T grasp upon the tall feathers of elo r que'nee and soar and soar and soar and - ' soar and er er well, soar so in ( castling about for congressional candi ;l dates this fall- we might as well pick I-. out the soarers and be done with it. Democracy in the Second congres- v sional district is particularly fortunate I in this respect. It has a brace of men gunning for tho nomination who are the best all around, single-handed soarers that ever struck out into the .v atmosphere of eloquence, and, in addi tion to that, they are both mighty good men. One is John A. Martin of . Pueblo and the other is James M. , Brinson of Cripple Creek. It. is the latter that this particular session will consider. Brinson will go before the congres sional convention of the Second dis trict rnext month strongly equipped for a battle for the nomination. His county; Teller, is entitled to forty-nine . delegates in the convention, and Brin son. will probably have all of the forty nine, and that a pretty healthy bunch v of delegates in a convention the size '- of the Second congressional. Teller and El Paso counties are usually pretty thick in conventions, and Brinson may also have the dele gation from the county aeross the hill. However, if Martin grabs off the Pue blo county delegation he will probably have the eastern tier almost solid,, and the result will be a beautiful contest for the nomination-, ' "Wins Fame as Debater.

RENDERS OPINION Government Mast Care For The Leper Case Wife Should Be Notified That In The Event She Returns to This State She Will Be Quarantined In Polk County. Special to The" Sun. Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 4. In connec tion with the advice of Assistant At torney General- Hayden Clement to the State Board" of Health, that -this State should not receive from the Fed eral authorities-the leper, J. R. Early, quarantined at Washington. He also suggested to the State board that the wife of Early who has gone from Lynn, N. C, to Washington with her child to look after the Interests of her husband, should be notified that if she returned to this State she will re quarantined in Polk county. He says this should be done, not to pre vent her return so much as to give her what to expect in the event she returns to this State. This State refuses to receive from the Federal authorities the leper, J, it. any, ot JLynn, n. c, who was found to have leprosy, while in Wash ington, looking after an application ho had pending for a pension. The action of the State through the State Board of Health, Dr. R. H. Lew is, chairman, is based on a ruling just made by Assistant Attorney Gen eral Hayden Clement This is to the effect that a State is not required by either State or Federal constitutions or statutes to receive citizens from beyond her borders having contagious or pestilentlous diseases, that even if the State were inclined to do this in the present instance, it would be Impossible for the reason that rail roads would refuse to carry the pa tient. And since Early evidently couirucieu we uisease in the army service, he was a leper when dis charged whether the leprosy had shown itself or not Therefore the United States government is morally bound to retain and care for the pa tient ' POTATO BUGS STALL CARS Grouna0n The.

Senator Resents Statement SENATOR SEYERELY BKFISED. The Conflict Was Result of an Address By Smith In Which He Stated That Senatorshlp Was Bought Many Blows Pass. By Wire to The Sun. Wheeling, W. Va,, Sept 4. United States Senator Nathan Bay Scott en gaged in a fistic encounter with S. G.

Scott and Smith met in the bank yesterday, and when Smith spoke to him the senator demanded to know why the lawyer had said that United States senators had' been bought for years. Scott further said that the statement had been published in a newspaper In which Smith was inter ested. Mr. Smith replied: "I didn't say United States senators of West Virginia had been bought. I said the senatorshlp had been purchased at public auction." "You're a liar,' 'retorted the sena tor as he struck at Smith. A mix up followed.
