Concord, X. C, June 21. 1911.
The Newbern Sun says :
Beginning July 1st the pay of post
masters in all Mates will be increased
from $100 to $300. In occasional cases
reductions are made on account o
diminishing business. This may be a
good move, but we don't see that it will
hasten the penny postage proposition
which the Postmaster General wants
to be an accomplishment of his ad
ministration. In its anxiety to saddle extra ex
travagance on the opposite party
(which was entirely unnecessary, as
there is enough evidence without it,
goodness knows) the Sun falls into an
error. The salaries of presidential
postmasters of t lie second and third
classes have for years been fixed ac
cording to the receipts of the offices
for the fiscal year ending March 31.
For every increase of $750 in the re
ceipts of an office the postmaster's
salary is increased $100, and corres
pondingly if there is a reduction in
receipts his salary is reduced. This is
the law, and the salaries of postmast
ers are self-adjusting and not arbi
trary with the postoffk-e department
The boom of Hon. Champ Clark for
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency has received a considerable
jolt. It is now recalled that the
Democrats of Missouri last year
unanimously endorsed Gov. Joseph W.
Folk, and Mr. Clark was the tem
porary presiding officer of the con
vention that endorsed him. The
probability that the situation in
Missouri is such as to make it un
likely that Speaker Clark can have
behind him his State delegation is
depressing to Mr. Clark's friends in
Washington, who believe that with a
fair chance he will figure largely in
the fight for the nomination.
Concord is the only city or town
in the State that has trolleyless street
cars, and it enjoys the further dis
tinction of being the only city in the
State that has oiled streets.
It Looks Like It.
Greensboro Record.
Things are growing very interest
ing in the investigation before the
House committee about the expendi
ture of $2,450 for Secretary Hay's
portrait, when the artist received on
ly $850.00. When the discovery was
made the voucher could not be found,
Tuesday it was found on the floor
of the office. Some one had no donbt
placed it where it would be found.
wjtn the unearthed voucher was an
explanation of the transaction, but
this explanation is not made public.

tectives a secret payment, so to say,
May be, but it looks like some one has

A Bad Year for Cotton Oil Mills.
Lumberton Robesonian.
The annual meeting of the stock
: holders of the Lumberton Cotton Oil
and Ginning Co. was held in Lnmber-
ton Thursday afternoon, a good repre-
'entahon of the stock being present.
'The showing made for the year was
not ts satisfactory as was hoped for,
' a loss of nearly $11,000 being shown.
as compared with profit for the pre
ceding season of about $9,000. Ap
' parently all ibt cotton oil mills in the
South lost money daring the past sea
son. he seed being off in the yield
and the yield being being off in grade
from 1 to 3 cents, there being also a
heavy decline in the pries of the pro-
duet from 63 to 37 cents, and the
yield of lint also being poor.
The biggest 4oaneiaI deal in the
history of Hickory took place Friday
evening when the Piedmont Wagon

that city, and he and' his associates
! were the purchasers. Just -who these
associates are is unknown, as their

WA8RXXQT0H LETTER,

Ml the tsovernsssat Central Us
TrnaUT,,-Other Ksbse of later.
Washington, June 20. Why baa
tba government been ooabl to control
the trusts
Wait this question baa not m yet
been definitely answered, the House
investigating; committees are bring
ing out testimony which tends to
thm litvht An tha anhiart at laait to
i ha n.i of ahowinr that the rati,i. " bn formed in New York
mists of the country have at some under me name or the Uenera! Ban
tine or another had most of the gov-1 '"(? Company. The alleged object of
eminent prosecutors on their pav- " n octopus is to "edurste the
-,,11. !
Tniled States Attornev General in
n"...Nhini I...! the list. I'nder!
,atch he admitted that the last thing
he did before taking charge of the
prosecuting machinery of the nation
was to draw down hU share of a
126,000 fee from the sugar trust as
a member of the New York law firm
of Strong and Cadwallader. !
Henry P. Taft, brother of the Pres
ident, is still a member of this firm
whose specialty is to show the sugar
trust and other great industrial cor
porations how to evade the law and
escape prosecution.
That Frank B. Kellogg, special
counsel :o the United States and
widely advertised by the Republicans
as the great trust 'hntser, has received
thousands of dollars from the govern
ment at the same time that lie was,
receiving big fees for acting as at
tornev for subsidiary concerns of the
steel trust, was developed in testimony
before thP Stanley committee.
It appears that Mr. Kellogg, be
sides iwicketing the $30,000 recently
paid him by the government for serv-,
ing as "trust buster'' under Roose
velt, also received from the steel
:rust $l").OO0 as extra compensation'
for legal services rendered their cor
porations. On Oct. 20, 1007, Mr. Kellogg was
proven by his own testimony and ,
documentary evidence in possession
of tlie committee to have received'
a second $15,000 for extra services. ;
These sums were received by him in
addition to the regular salary received
by his firm from the trusts for many
years past, and the last payment wasj
made in the midst of the panic an
only two or three days before the fa - -
mous conference of Gray and H. I.;
men ruling suuhb m mcu hui;
with President Rowvelt. wherp'by i
t hey gained the permission of the
President to commit criminal viola- -tion
of the laws of the United States
v absorbing the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railway company, thereby ex-i
terminating their principal competl-.
tor.
This situation becomes still more re
markable when it is recalled that the
man who appointed Kellogg Phil
ander C. Knox, now secreary of state
was the man who went from the em-
polv of the steel trust to the office of
attorney general and who refused in
1901 to prosecute the steel trust
when convincing evidence of its vio
lations of law were laid before him
bv the anti-trust league.
Bristow Leads Reactionaries.
Senator Bristow of Kansas, assisted
by the solid delegation of special priv-
lege senators, succeeded in tacking
an amendment to the resolution pro-
iding for the direct election of sen
ators, which greatly enuangers ana
may defeat that measure.
Bristow pretended the amendment,
which retains federal control over the
elections, would strengthen the prob
ability of is final passage, when the
fact is Bristow knew, as did every
other senator in the chamber, that the
amendment would endanger and per
haps defeat the ratification of the re
solution by the necessary three-
fourths of the states.
The Bristow amendment is the same
used by Sutherlffid of Utah and the
ring of Wall street buccaneers in the
Senate in the last session to defeat
direct senatorial elections.
The men who worked hardest for
the Bristow amendment were Lorimer
of Illinois, Guggenheim of Colorado,
Cummins of Iowa, Lippitt of Rhode
Island, Clapp of Minnesota, Smoot of
Utah and Stephenson of Winconsin.
The Bristow amendment was fought
by La Follette, Gronna, Borth, Poin
dexter and Works, Republicans, and
every democrat in the Senate save
one.
Lloyd a Hard Worker.
Victory in the House has brought
hard work and responsibility to the
Democratic leaders as well as honors.
As sn example of the enacting duties
of a' Congressman of Democratic
faith, take the case of Hon. James T.
Lloyd of the first Missouri district.
Mr. Lloyd is chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional committee and as
such assumes general supervision of
the campaign in every district in the
United States. He is also chairman
of the standing committee on accounts
and closely scrutinizes every item of
expenditure in the lower House. He
is also chairman of the special com
mittee on organisation, or clerical
force, a job with a world of detail.
In addition to all these and his oner
ous duties as a. congressman. Mir.
Lloyd delivers numerous addresses be
fore societies schools, etc., aid is al
ways to be found in bis seat when
the House is celled to order. "
Speaker Clark Against Gag Bole,
Speaker Champ Clark is opened to
the gsg being" applied to government
empoyes. President Tail is endeav
oring to enforce a Bosevelt role which
prohibts gorernioeni employ from
fifing information eren sstr
of Congress. The employes are also
prohibited from calling the atUotioa
of members to any (rWraac.
Speaker Clark denounces this rule as
un-American, and declares he will lis
ten to grievance of employee wbea
they desire to com to him and h
defies anyone to interfere.
Bread Trass, was Easy SaHuig.
A rio.000,000 bread trust which will
operate, to start with in 21 large
public to s higher standard of quality
bread." Inquiry at the office of
Attorney General YVirkersham elicited
h information that absolutely noth-
ing was known there of the formation
ot "any bread trust." The reply
was not unusual, as the Attorney
General's office is generally the last
place in ashmgton to go to for in
formation which might be construed
to admit the existence of any trust.
Taft Will Eat Opposition.
If the Taft rc-publicans are really
tinder the impression that the Presi,
lent will have no opposition for a
renomination, they are laboring un
der an hallucination.
Senator La Follette of Wisconsin
is jn the field, and progressive Repub-
lican leaders in practically every state
in the union are working for La Fol
Iftte delegates.
"Taft and sure defeat, or La Fol
lette with a chance to win " is the

diesase reported as treated by physi
cians has grown during the past
twelve months from 3,2")0 to 21,000;
the number of doctors treating the
disease from 183 to 997 ; and the num
ber of people niiscroscopicallly exam
ined for it in the State Laboratory

en thousand two hundred and seventy
six of the latter number were found
to have hookworm infection, and 2543
showed others of the eight intestinal
parasites. Through some of these
were found quite frequently the hook
worm infections were found three
times as frequent lv as all the others
combined. Thirtv-one per cent, of the
23,312 examined showed hookworm
