Senator Simmons Makes a Statement and Is
Corroborated by Senator La Follette.
Washington. Aug. 23. Senator Sim
mons said today :
"Some days ago mv attention was
call3d to an editorial in the Reidsville
Review, a rank Kitchin paper, charg
ing me upon tBe authority of a man
named Gardner, who 1 understand Is
connected with the Roosevelt publici
ty bureau, with hobnobbing with Pen
rose, the Republican leader of the Sen
ate! The editorial recites an article
in the Denver Express, a Republican
paper published in Colorado, written
by this man Gardner, giving a pre
tended conversation between Senator
Penrose and myself which be claims
to have overheard in the Senate lobby
concerning the Lippitt -wool bill. I
understand he now claims one of the
doorkeepers told him he heard the
conversation, but will not tell which
doorkeeper.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR LA
FOLLETTE.
On being informed that a statement
had been published in North Carolina
charging that when the Wool schedule
was before the Senate Senator Sim
mons plaved in with Senator Penrose
to aid in the passage of the Lippit
Bill on Wool and Woolens, Senator La
Follette 6ald :

it was offered. He voted against the
Lippitt Bill, as did every Democratic
Senator. The Democratic Senators and
Republican Progressive Senators, to
gether defeated the Lippitt Bill, and
secured the passage of the La Follette
Bill on schedule K. 'and later passed
the conference report of bill which
was vetoed by the President.
"Senator Simmons with Senator
Martin representing the Democrats
co-operated with me representing the
Progressive Republicans to secure'ac
tion in -the Senate on the Wool and
Woolen schedules and ether tariff bill?.
Without such co-operation the splendid
record made by the Senate on these
tariff schedules would not have been
possible."

It was stated by parties who claim to

that this accounts for the unusual oc

was revovling at the rate of 60 gallons

The Ladies' Home Journal is a great
old publication fall of fashion hints,
short stories, etc. It will tell just
how the young married couple can
live on fifteen a week, carry insurance,
build a neat home and save a bank ac
count It will also, tell jou just how
each flounce should be fashioned and
worn,' and many other things worth
while.
But, as the Richmond Virginian
says, one would scarcely expect to
2nd a classic so tender, so true, so
touching as the following in its edi
torial columns. We ask every reader
to clip the Journal's "Debt to Moth

"put your mother's life has not been
easy. Your father was a poor man,
and : from the day she married him
she stood by his side, fighting the wolf
from the door wiith her naked hands,
as a woman must fight.
"She worked not the 8 or 10 hours
of the poor,wif eand mother. .
'She cooked and cleaned and .scrub
bed and patched and nursed from dawn
until bedtime, and in the night was
np and down getting drinks for thirsty
lips covering! restless little sleepers
and listening for croupy coughs
.6ne had time to listen to your
stories of boyish lun and frolic and
triumph' .
"She bad time to say the things that
spurred your ambition on.
"She never forgot to cook the little
JOavliked.
She did without the dress she
jr.. -
needed that your might not be ashamed
of your clothes before your fellows.
. "Remember this now while there
is yet time, while she is living, to pay
back to her in love and tenderness
some ofthe debt you owe her. You
can never pay it all, but pay down
something on " account this very

John H. Sparks World's Famous
Shows to Visit Reidsville for One
Day Only Two Exhibitions.
Four hundred people employed and
carrying over two hundred foreign
and domestic animals, is the state
ment made by Mr. F. M. Heaton,
agent for tho Sparks shows, who was
in town last Friday making arange
ments for the appearance of this big
circus here cn Saturday, Sept. 21st.
The strange colony of people, hand
some horses, rare wild animals and
the golden caravans are scheduled to
arrive here during the early hours o!
the morning of the above data in their
own special trains of specially built
railway car? from Clarksville, Ya.,
where they will exhibit the day be
fore. Circus will begin with a big street
parade at 12 o'clock noon, and two
periormances will be given, the fist
starting at 2 o'clock and the other at

School grounds have been arranged
for by the agent and a number of our
merchants ate received contracts to
furnish immense quantities of feed

The Sparks shows have improved
and grown remarkably during, the last
few years, and to those of us who re
member its former visits coiiids the
thought that it was always a clean,
moral and entertaining show, and one
we never hesitated in haying our families-visit.
It is said that the show
still retains these features that made
it such a welcome visitor in the years
gone by, and that its methods of do
ing business with the public are still
of that same high order.

Postmaster Joyce has been instruct

serious inconvenience to the patrons
of the cliico, but there appears tn be
no remedy until Congress reassembles
in December. Congressman Stedman
tells the Greensboro News that the
provision seems to
have been slipped

j couples in.the last twenty-three years.
"I had ua thought of making this a
business," said the aged minister. "I
was licensed to marry people many
years ago, aud when the first runaway
couple sought me in ISS'J, I consented
to marry them more as a matter of ac
commodation than anything else.
"Some of my friends were present
and witnessed the marriage. They
complimented me aud told me that 1
