FEED ALL FROM SAME
SPOON.
Ii Railroad men cannot be per
:1 itte l to lix railroad rates, why
nc tiro insurance menavowed
10 iix fire insurance rates? Are
nun engaged, in fire insurance
s0 much better than men engag
0lj in railroad business? Are
they not all merely, men subject
to like weaknesses arid passions?
The lire insurance companies are
loltvtim? from the people of this
state nearly $3,500,000 a year
0I about as much as the State
t e lects from taxes and . all, other
sources for all purposes and
there is no check on them as to
what they shair collect. They
have organized, their .business;
into a trust and arbitrarily fix J
rates, which the citizens must
pay or else go uninsured. They
not only collect too much, but
they grossly discriminate against
the people of this State in favor
of the people of other states.
Railroad, telegraph, telephone
and express companies are sub
ject to state control in the mat
ter of rates, why should this
business not be fed out of the
same spoon? It is alright to
make the railroads charge fair
rates, but it will be unjust and
all wrong if insurance companies
are not also made to charge fair
rates. Say the Merchants Jour
nal and Commerce: "Of all de-
testable combinations permitted
by the South, the combination of
the Fire Insurance , Companies
heads the list. They are eritren-
L-nea witn a lorceiui ioddv oi m-
fluential men in each Southern
State.' State -Journal.

Mr. W. N. Arnheim and Mrs.
Edna Morris of Tarboro, were
killed Sunday in an automobile
m reck about three miles from
that town. In the car were
Mi. and Mrs. Arnheim, Mr. and
Mrs. Morris, and a Mr. Matthews.
The car plunged into a ditch half

Arnheim and Mrs. Morris and
injuring Mrs. Arnheim. Mr. Arn
heim was driving the car. It. is
supposed that he Jmt his foot on
the accelerator instead of the
brake lever, as the car came
down a hill.

A UNIQUE TARIFF-BILL..-
The ' Underwoods arif::biU
which-is now , before the Senate
havinT'rccet y pais?d the Hcu'e
una mer d sd cy more than ; a two
toone vote. will jiaye; the most
uni;u3 hittory of a ay tariff bill
:or i4ore than half a century, by
reason, of having been passed run
amended; Those who are - well
nformed as to the situation in
!he Senatear3. of the opinion
that .the bill will pass the Senate
practically' unamended. Here
to pre, when a bill i3 introduced
a repub.ican Congress few
of the: items at least are in - the
interest of. the publie, but when
the cll gets before a republican
House it, is amended until it is
In the interest ;of the Capitalists
nnd manufacturer, " and against
the interest of the consumer or
public. Then when the. Republi
can; Senate gets through amend
ing1 it, it is indeed a full fledged
robber tariff divested of. every
patriotic virtue. , The present
Tariff Bill is largely the " work
i '.,'"
of 'Hon; Oscar. W. Underwood, of
Ala , the eha-rman of the Ways
and Means Committee and Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson. Under
wool is uhdoubtedly the ablest
end one of the most patriotic
men that has ever, shaped a tar
i f bill in the History of this
Country and his matchless lead
erhip and statesmanship are
ha v . n-j a telling effect all , over
1h3 country, as no industry has
bsen disturbed by this bill which
will substantially reduce ; the
cost- qf- liv:nf.:It :wi 1. give. the
people a "free basket" by which
every American citizen who goes
to the market and makes his
purchases will do ,sd without
paying one cent of revenue for
tariff. The bill is drawn abso
lutely and unqualifiedly in the
interest of the whole American
people, and outside of the Louisi
ana Senators who are opposed
to free sugar it is probabb that
every Democratic Senator (and
many of the progrssive republi
can Senators will --.vote for it.
Indeed it w5uld expose him as
a target for the American peo
ple as he would thereby be op
posing their interests.
Democratic Senators Get Warn
ing From Home.
According to the reports com
ing into Washington, any Demo
cratic Senator who opposes this
bill digs his own political grave
from which there will be no res
urrection, the two Louisiana
Senators pessibly accepted on
account of the large sugar in
terests of that State. The bill
requires 49 Senatorial votes to
pass, and there are 51 Democra
tic. Senators so if two Louisiana
Senators desert their party on
account of "sugar" they will
still have 49 and if .one more de
sert s on account of free wool,
the Senate would then be a tie,
and Vice-President Marshall
would give the deciding vote in
favor of the bill. However, the
progressive repuoiicans can hard
ly refuse to support the bill as
a decided improvement over the
existing ; tariff which they have
all bitterly denounced. . There

We people of Shake Rag have
had the rionar of having poor
Richard and- wife pass
through this . section of
he country lately. Now Mr
Richard is a great observer of
things and says he saw many
wonderous sights, yes even a wo
man plowing. An awful sight I
will agree, especially to such a
man as he who lives in luxury
and knows no want. Why ha
can just look out and . see the
eat Kimberly South Africa
l iamoni mines at his feet. He
is a successful merchant. Rais
es pigeons for profit and is the
sole proprietor of a great api
ary, also raises standard bred
hogs for sale and is a scientific
farmer. . -
The writer was passing that
way some time ago and. noticed
a most beautiful piece of corn
known as the peanut variety,
(couni to thave been) for if it
is ever any corn at all it . wil-1
gro win the ground instead of
on the stalk. Good for his hogs
1 should suppose. -
Now if all we fanners had
smart and intelligent wives, yes
too smart for the plow handles,
but rather instead work for Mr.
en Duke, would not our country
be a progressive one also?
Hoping it will not be necessary
i'or Mr. Richard to take a dose
of disposition . regulator after
reading this, I will close with
good wishes to all. '
