THE PASSING CONGRESS Great Policies Have Been Outlined, but Little General LegislationProlonged by Political Activities I FS RECORD IN BRIEF Washington, D. C, Aug. 19-- Congress is about to terminate a session that has now run over iSo days. Since the organization of t'he government there have been but seven continuous ses sions of great length. Measured by the standard of new laws en acted, this one has not been fruit ful of -much general legislation; but from the standpoint of great issues fought out and great poli cies outlined, it has been of more than usual interest. Political activities have helped to prolong it; and political differ ences between the house and the senate, the one; Democratic and the other controlled by an inde pendent element of the Republi can party, have served to tic up appropriation bills and impede the progress of much general leg islation. Many huge annual appropria tion bills that should have become effective July 1 still are at issue between the two houses. Minor legislation and import ant questions of general interest are to be laid aside in an effort to bring about adjournment by next Saturday, or at the latest by the end of the following week. Some Things Done. The more important develop ments that have marked the ses sion, many of them outside the reord of general legislation, arc ; The decision of the senate that William Lorimer 'had not been legally elected senator from Il linois. The beginning of the impeach ment proceedings against Judge Arch bold of the commerce court. Abrogation of the Russion treaty, following the agitation in congress over the Jewish passport question. Substantial defeat by amend ment of President Taft's arbitra tion treaties with Great Britain and France. Notice by the senate to foreign nations that the United States will permit none to acquire naval or military sites in the Western Hemisphere. Approval of a constitutional amendment for direct election of senators. Decision of both houses in fav or of free passage for American ships at Panama, in ace of Great Britain's protest that this would be a violation of treaty rights. Things to Be Done. Admission of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood. Veto by President Taft of tariff bills passed by Democratic-Progressive alliance. Creation of a children's bureau in the department of commerce and labor. increase ot civil war pensions through the Sherwood service pension law, Important questions remain to be settled this week between the two houses, or between congress and the President. Many of them incorporated in the annual appro priation bills, are: Proposed abolishment of the tariff commission and the com merce court. Battleship building programme for 1013. Reorganization plans fur the army, partly rejected by the President when lie vetoed the army appropriation bill. Establishment of a parcels post system. , -. ' Restriction of civil service em- p'oyes to seven-year terms. Details of the Panama canal administration law. Creation of a federal depart ment of labor. The President's vetoes affect ed the wool tariff ; army appro priation bill, seeking to legis late Maj.-Gen. Wood out of the chief-of-staff's office; purchase of permanent army maneuver grounds near Anniston, Ala.; the right to build a dam across the White river at Cotter, Ark. ; sales of burnt timber on Indian lands; inherited lands of the Five Civil ized Tribes of Indians; reim bursement of those who furnish ed labor and materials on the Corbett tunnel, 'Shoshone irriga tion project. ' The senate has ratified nine treaties during the session, in cluding those with France and Great Britain, Which the Presi dent refused to accept in amend ed form, and the following: Settlement of pecuniary claims between the United States and Great Britain, agreement of in ternational naval conference on war, prizes, copyright treaty with Hungary, North Atlantic fisheries treaty with Great lirit ian. neutralization treaty with Costa Rica, international wire less telegraph treaty, internation al treaty on assistance and sal vage at sea.

All children who enter school this fall vaccinated. . 0 expect must to be The Pickett Cotton Mills The Pickett Cotton Mill 1. cated at High Point, X. (., were deisgned by Lockwood, Greene it Co., of Boston. The engineers also supervised the erection that was entirely taken care of by the Central Carolina Construction Co The construction of the Pickett Mills is very similar to the Panola Mil's, designed by the same firm and this type of construction seems to be very well suited for mills of this size. Ihese mills are up-to-date in every respect, and in general the construction may be eaid to be brick pilasters, concrete panels, and timber columns, beams and nirders. .The reinorced concrete panels relieve considerably the 1 usual solid mass of red brick, and the two outside towers at the mid die of the building, one on either side of the structure, serve to break the otherwise plain outline of the mill. By usintr the con crete panel, the brick arch ordin arily employed has been omitted and a square window 'employed. In this way the lighting facilities have been considerably increased. Furthermore, the speed in erec tion was greater than would have been the case with all standard mill construction, and also, the cost is said to have been cheaper. Provision for future expansion has been well taken care of. and the electric drive has been adopt ed. The mills consist of two build ings, the larger one of which con high with the machine shop and dust room in the basement. The pump and boiler house both con nect with and are adjacent to the main mill. The smaller structure of two stories contains the ware house and opening room. Rein forced concrete loading platforms extend from the two buiding to the spur of the railroad that runs between and thence to the rear of the boiler house where is situ atcd the coal trestle. Use of Concrete. Concrete is used for the foot. ings of all walls, piers, flues, steps (Continued on page 2.)
