Raise Revenue from Luxuries Rather Than from Necessities, By C lyde H . Tavenner. Washington, Jan. 21. We wane 10 get a large amount of re venue on luxuries, so that we can put a less tax on tne necessities ofHfe." This is to be the basis of the tariff revision in the $ixty third Congress, according to Chairman Underwood of th De mocratic Ways and Means com mittee. The above expression is Mr, Underwood's. He made it directly to one of the big silk manufacturers who was testifying before his committee. The indications are that the Democratic policy is likely to be free dressed and rough lumber, shingles, laths and fence posts. The members of the Ways and Means committee, while asking questions of witness, appeared to be in favor of that policy. Free meats, it is rumored, may also be a part of the tentative tariff plan the committee will frame to submit tlie extra ses aion. Even the air in the corriders i A . ... outside or tne committee room seem to breathe a feeling that the Democratic leaders intend to see to it that the promises made to the people before election are to be religiously, carried out after election. Why Fear Donward Revision? High protectionists cjeclare even the slighest tariff' revision donward would hurt our business and lessen our exporjs. "The slightest revision down ward will throw men out of work," is the cry of the multi millionaire tariff trust heads who have been getting an ever-increas ing amount of protection all these years while at the same time im porting foreigners to take the place of American workers 'and paying their workers little more than a pittance. Is there anything iny the argu ment oF the rich high protection ists? If they are right in their contention that some tariff revisi on would lessen our exports, one would have perished long ago. But Great Britain is not perish ing. For the month of November the total amount of trade in Great Britain was $620,000,000, The We are low the right Implement at the right price for your spring use,'and when you are in the market for : Plows, Cultivators, Harrows, Mowers, Rakes, or anything in our line 1 . Remember we carrv the old established lines with thp vpfv latAst imnrovements. Come to us for your N increase in exports as compared with "boom" figures of Novem - ber. 1911. was ill .860.000! There is now full employment for labor in that '"benighted" free " i trade kingdom. Even the Protec tionists are forced to admit 4 a cycle of splendid trade and natio nal well-being," and that there is no protectionist country that shows a paralleled prosperity. There is food for reflection in these figures. They show 7there is nothing to the contention that re vision don ward of the tariff ife likely to ruin business. Honest business men of the country ful ly realize this, and have no ap prehensions because of Demo cratic ascendency. Two Cafolina Families Fight A Fierce Duel. A bloody and most desperate fight occurred at Glen Alpine, a little town six miles from Mor ganton, Saturday night, as a re suit of which six piominent men lie mortally wounded from pistol and knifie wounds. The fight is alleged to have re sulted from a feud existing -be tween the Pitts and Hennessee families, which reached .its cul mination Saturday night in a pis tol and knife duel on the streets of Glen Alpine, which lasted Jor 30 minutes and in which one af ter another was shot down .or cut to pieces with knives. Friends of both families rushed to the scene and were themselves soon wounded in the bloody bat tie, some of whom received fatal wounds. ' Dr. E. A. Hennessee, . a pro minent physician of Burke county was one of the combatants and was shot through the head and lungs. M. Hennessee and Abel Pitt, two others entered in the affray, and were perhaps mortal ly wounded, while Gorman Pitts, Ervin Pitts and Sam Bennett, the lattfer the policeman of the town, are seriously if not fatally shot. Others who engaged in the af fray are more of less seriously wounded.

Long, president. A. R. Foashee, vice-president; E. G. Long, cashier. D. S. Bfooks, assistant cashier. A 9 Der cebt dividend -was, clared, adding to the surplus fund Ihe sum of five thousand dollars. The past year has been a most prosperous one with this Airstku tidn and the officers have jtist cause to feel ftcoud , of their busy riess, the bank having grown in every particular, larger deposits1 and many new accounts having been opened during the year; all telling in no unmistakable meas ure the popularity, of the . officin ale. The new cashier, Mr. E. G.; Long, is1 fully acquainted with the business of the Bank, having been with it for about ten years; and having acted as cashier since the resignation of the former cashier, Mr. J. S! Bradsher.

W. W. Kitchin returned to Roxboro to join his family who had preceded him by about a week. He was met at the depot by a large delegation of friends from the town and country. In a short and very apprapri ate address Mayor Winstead wel comed him to Roxboro, telling him of the great love everybody in the County had for him, and hoped thaj he had made up his mind to make this iiis permanents home. Gov. Kitchin replied in a very happy and feeling manner, assur ing the Mayor and the people that there was no place on earth where he had rather liye than in the town of Roxboro, but stated that he had not decided where he would make his home. After the speech making the Governor was taken in an auto mobile and conveyed to his home, followed by a string of automo mobiles as escorts. Dance' at Loch Lily.

Kitchin has had a number of ' places under consideration shice the election, Raleigh,' Dur ham and Winston-Salem all being suggested as possible , locations. The governor has also had some verr flattering offers from Lyce um ibureaus to go on the lecture platform, but he decided he had rather practice law than go on she platform.

There seems to be much work before the present Legislature. Among some of the bills I notice one for compulsory education, i would hardly think our represen tatives would support any such bill. I think there is great dan ger in any such school law, it might entail a great burden upon some of the laboring classes. Why not embody in that bill to require the parents to furnish fried chicken and cake t6 their children while in school? Bemer not go too fast, gentlemen, and do too much now, and have another chance to amend some bills, or alH thenext meeting of the Legisla ture some other party may have a chance to repeal it all. If a colt does not show some signs of a racer you had better not force him on the race track as you might disqualify him for all other and perhaps more wor thy work. While I am a progressive I think there is some danger along all lines of progress without some caution. I think the coun try will not willingly submit to any very radical reformation,1 Democrat and Conservative. Wilson Family in Simple Life. Trerton, JahV 21. President, elect Wilson will probably contin ue to serve as governor until Marcl? first, when he leaves for Washington en route to the inau guration he expects to travel as a Drivate citizen, accompanied by the members of his immediate family in a regular parlor car and not even in a special or private car. . The governor feels that duty demands his presence- here in NeV Jersey until March or he would not be burdened with the duties of the governor's office when there are,so,many others to which he could deyote his time; and attention. V Mrs; Wilson and y her.:tbree ' rev .Efl daughters wiBirtend theinaaeHr-r1 at reception in the rotunda of the national capital with the president-elect if : such a: reception is is held. They will not stand in line. and shake hands,- according I to; a:slatement made by Governor Wilson today, when his attention was called to the, rumor that his wife and daughters would hot at tend. He says it would be too hard a job for, Hhem to stand up all afternoon and shake hands. It is also announced, that there is no truth in the statement that the inaugural ball was abandoned be cause of any objection of Mrs. Wilson to improper dances. She is, however glad that the ball has been eliminated. I Township Presents to Meet.
