He explained that Chairman Kluttz had sought a joim, debate, but only three in republican strongholds could be pulled off. Stated that a proposition t meet its stead a 2y2 cent rate, which he had previously declared to be just. To his opponent's conten tion that he would not support the bill passed at the extra session because it carried a bribe of $17, 500 exacted from the railroad, Mr. llacket declared that the law as it stands on the statute does not say one word in reference to the payment of any sum of money by the railroads and had with him a copy of the laws to prove his contention. ' Thrj we find him said the speaker on three I sides of a question that only had two sides to it. This was one of the most effec tive features of Mr. Hackett 's speech, since Mr. Cowles has been laying special stress upon railway rate legislation. "There is No Panic"(?)

The funeral services of Mr. Carl Matheson who died so sud denly yesterday at Taylorsville after suffering a stroke of paray sis were held this nfternon. Tho'v were conducted by Dr. C. ' M.

The Original Liar. Mr. Roosevelt, he said, he would pass as all knew how many men he had called liars and how he had in each instance turned out to be the original one.

As a whole this speech of our congress man was one of the best he has ever made here, a masterful and eloquent portrayal of facts, of the weakness of his opponent, an able argument of logic interwov en withlucid anecdotes told in Mr. Hackett 's own . inimitable way. One scholarly looking old gen tleman as he left the court room was heard by The Mascot man to remark "That was the effort of an orator and a statesman and I am prouder of our congressman than ever before. I certainlv f think we should keep such a man in congress." Hackett at Scotts. ' Congressman R. N. Hackett went to Scotts yesterday where he spoke in the Scott school house to a large crowd. Mr. Hackett wasy received' with great enthusiasm, and spoke for an hour and one half. Mr. Hackett dwelt " extensively on his record in congress, compar ing it with Cowles 's record in the legislature. He also touched on the panic and tariff question. In speaking of the "blank page that Mr. Cowles is circu lating over the district as his record in congress, Mr. Hackett said it was white and spotless, while the page of Cowles was too black for ink to print. - i 1 X? 1 TIT j her daughter-in-law brought upon ment he received at the hands of It was- outrageous conduct and PdUU- oy quoung me vvasnington the royal King Emanuel II., she old Iredell two years ago.
