The Senate Refuses Dictation (By Lea sty 1 Wlr to Enterprise.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 19. l!y a vote of 37 to 17 the Sen ate today again emphatically an nounced its determination to re sist all efforts to alter its rules in any way looking to the estab lishment of cloture in that lody. The question arose over the ruling made last Saturday by Vice-President Sherman, holding that an announcement of a pair by a Senator during an aye and no vote is sufficient to justify the chair in including him to make a quorum. The point was raised CHRISTMAS ENTER TAINMENTS AT THE VARIOUS CHURCHES o The Presbyterian Christmas Cantata will be held at the church on Friday evening at 7 o'clock.

All of the seventeen votes in 'favor of sustaining the chair were cast by Republicans. Of the thirty-seven votes against the chair, twenty were cast by Re publicans and seventeen by Dem ocrats. STUDENT OF WAKE FOR EST DIES. o Wake Forest, Dec. 19. Roy Saunders died at the college hos pital last night at 10.15, aKed 17 years. He was the son of Mrs. O. M. Saunders, of Monroe, X. C, and nephew of Dr. F. W. Sikes. He was a member of the freshman class and was sick only one week, suffering with leaking and enlargement of the heart. CAPT. HOBSON AT AUDI TORIUM DEC. 36th. o Captain Richmond Pearson llobson was one of the brilliant lights of the American Xavy. Xo history of naval warfare will be written in the future that doe not devote space to Captain llob son. At Santiago he won imper ishable renown. When it was known that Cervcra's fleet was in the harbor the late Rear-Admira Sampson conceived the idea o effectualy sealing it up and thus prevent any possibility of escape Volunteers were called for t lead the daring expedition and the first to respond was Lieutenant llobson. It was not necessary t tell the young lieutenant that be took his life in his own hands and that whether the plan failed or not he probably would not re turn alive. He knew that, and knowing, was willing to offer his young We as a sacrifice on the altar of his country. It is not necessary to recount that thrill ing feat ; it is not necessary to tell how llobson steered the col lier "Merrimac" into the mouth of the harbor at dead of night sunk it to the bottom and with his comrades jumped into the stream. His capture, imprison ment and subsequent liberation are too well known to need re counting. Nor is it necessary to say that it was one of the bravest deeds ever recorded. The world applauded Hobson and his place is secure among those who offer ed up their lives at the call of duty. Captain Hobson has become the exponent of the movement to increase the American navy Convinced from world-wide ' ob servation and from long investi gation that American naval supre macy is the only sure guarantee of American peace and security, and the only effective means of bring ing about "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men," Captain Hob son is devoting his life to the at tainment of this end.

PIEDMONT (From today's Greensboro News) SHOULD CEASE Work of Improvement in Proposed Expense Special Committee Chamber of Commerce and Mer chants' Association Appear Before Commissioners. Before the board of county commissioners yesterday morning E. J. Justice, C. D. Benbow, L. J. Brandt and C. C. McLean, com posing a special committee representing the chamber of commerce and the Retail Merchants' Association, appeared relative to mat ters concerned with the proposed new county which is being agita ted by citizens of High Point. The committee requested that the county commissioners cause work of improvement, especially as to the asphalting of roads in the territory proposed to be taken for the new county from Guilford, to temporarily cease until some determ ination may be made as to what be done toward the establish ment of the new county. The committee also made a request that the commisisoners appoint a committee to represent their number to meet with the special committee for the further consideration and discussion of the new county in its aspect that concern Guilford. The members of the committee wise placing themselves on record opposed to the carrying on of improvements which, when complet ed, would be within the boundary lines of the new county, provid ed it is established, and said their request was made with the best interests of Guilford at heart. The improvement work which the asphalting of the Greensboro-High Point road beyond James town. The asphalting of this road, which has been in progress for three weeks, has reached nearly to Jamestown, and the force of hands will be ready in a few days to proceed beyond Jamestown toward High Point. The proposed new county will take in old Jamestown, which is but half a mile further on, and the hands in a few days will be ready to proceed with the work. The com mittee contends that to allow such work on road repairing to pro ceed into a territory likely to belong to another county would mean the taking from Guilford of an expense that should be saved for the improvement of the property and the public places of the county of Guilford as it will be left, provided the new county project car ries through to success. The commisioners, after hearing the remarks by the committee made no consideration of the request to bring a temporary halt to the work of asphalting. The chairman of the board, however, appointed the entire board as a committee to meet with the special chamber of commerce and Merchants' Association committee on next Friday, December 23, at 10 o'clock, the place to be decided upon. AN UNUSAL Speaking only for ourselves we were totally unprepared for the remarkable demands nude on the county commissioners by the committee from the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce yester day, that work on the public roads cease in this part of the county on account of the new county movement, but if our neighbors can afford to take this stand we shall demands. Such a demand would naturally bring up many ques tions that might be advanced in rebuttal as to the fairness of the proposition, but that is not for discussion now. Fortunately the i:cw county will be well off, financially, and can complete the work already laid out by Guilford. This thing of new counties is contagious. A movement is on foot to create a new county out of parts of Guilford, Forsyth and Rockingham with Stokesdale as the county seat. Whatever may be said about nVthere is some merit in this, for IVjs eighteen miles from that section to Greens boro, almost the same to Win ston or to Wentwroth, the res pective county seats. Greens boro Record. Sometimes a multiplicity of such movements are started to detract from those that have some merit, but this propositon is too ludicrous to command a hearing. THE HIGH POINT BOOK o The Chronicle has received a copy of the sixth edition of High Point, the illustrated booklet published by Mr. J. J. Farriss, editor of the Enterprise. It is the most complete municipal publica tion we have seen. The better features of preceding editions are retained and added to with newer information. We hope the next edition will be issued from High Point, the county seat of Ran som. Charlotte Chronicle. DR. A. J. HOLMES CON FIRMED. Washington, D. C, Dec. 19. The Senate today confirmed the nomination of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, of North Carolina, who was appointed last summer as the first director of the new bu reau of mines. COUNTY New County An Unnecessary expressed themselves as in no as opposed to the county, but as was especially referred to was SUGGESTION make no protest against their SETTLED WITH SHERIFF. The County Commissioners spent yesterday and an hour or more last night settling with Sheriff Jones for the 1000 taxes. It was found that more than 08 per enct. of the taxes charged to the sheriff had been collected and the majority of the unpaid taxes were against what are termed transients; that is a person resid- ng in town at listing time gives n his poll but before the books - are made out leaves for some other place and the officers have no way of reaching him.
