SB Intorooting Gooolp on Gon. Sim- mono Pooltlon on GommittooG Washington, D. C, Dec. 3. In the reorganization of the Sen ate standing committees those which frame 'bills greatest in terest attaches to the selection of that Senator who will succeed to Senator Aldrich's former place 1 and Senator Penrose's present place as chairman of the Commit tee on Finance, the most impor tant committee of .the upper house, which will frame the com ing Democratic tariff bills, upon which the anticipations of the en tire country are now cencentrat ed. This powerful berth would have fallen to Senator Bailey, of Texas, but his determination to resign from the Senate leaves Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina next in line for promotion. This succession, however, seems destined to embarrass the Dem ocratic party, for Mr. Simmons is probably the most pronounced "protection" Democrat now in public life. With his vote he sup ported Aldrich in all the critical stages of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law's passage through the Senate. Because of this attitude he was bitterly, though futively, fought for re-election in his home State by Representative Kitchin, one of the leading Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee of the House. He is regarded as being out of sympa thy in tariff matters with the rad- j ical leaders of his party in both branches of Congress. It appears certain that he will not be per mitted to have the principal say in the preparation of tariff legis lation in the Senate without a bitter fight. Simmons to Be Chairman. There is talk of trying to break the rule of seniority and of giving the chairmanship to Sen ator Stone, of Missouri, or Gore of Oklahoma, the next in line for the honor, is rife in Washington but will probably prove fruitless. as such a revolutionary actfion would result in reprisals and general confusion would result. However, this is an age in which precedents find small respect among political leaders, and no one can safely gamble on what will happen. Engineer of Next Tariff, Mr. Simmons, whose first name is Furnifold, as was that of his father before him, was born in the Tarheel State nearly fifty- nine years ago. After gradual ing at Trinity College, he became a lawyer and has since practiced at "Raleigh. Twenty-five years ago he came to the House of Representatives to serve one term during the first administration of President Cleveland, who during his second admniistration ap pointed Mr. Simmons collector of internal revenue. He has served in the Senate for e'even years and is now chariman of the Com mittee on Engrossed Bills. A Word About Tillman. For the chairmanship of the next most important Senate com mittee, that of Appropriations, Senator Tillman, of SouthCaro- lina, ranks first in the order of seniority, as he does for the chair manship of the important Com mittee on Interstate Commerce which handles railway legislation and that on Naval Affairs. But as Mr. Tillman is now a semi-invalid it is uncertain whether he will choose to accept the responsibility of piloting any of the great supply bills through the troubled, waters of the upper house. If he abdicates the chair manship of Appropriations its great power will fall to Senator Culberson, of Texas, who has had a long legal training, commenced under his, father, who represent- from the various country sec ed the Lone Star State in Con- J tioris, then our mercantile estab- gress for twenty-two years. The . younger Culberson has been at-, torney of his county, attorney- general and Governor of his State and Democratic leader on the floor of the Senate, of which he has been a member for thirteen years. If he does not head the Appropriations Committee he will have the first hereditary right to chairmanship of the Public Build ings Committee, which handles the "pork barrel" after it readies the Senate. And his choice will include the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee, if Mr. Ba con waives his right to that. WOODMEN OF THE WORLD The strongest fraternal benefi ciary order in America- Mem bershio in United States and Canada all branches 960,000. Membership sovereign jurisdic tion alone 635,000. The" W. O. W. is the strongest order financially and the second numerically in the fraternal world. The W. O. W. is indorsed by thousands of right thinking men also by all well governed frar ternal bodies. Its assessment rates are as lo was consistent to meet its obligations. We have representative government. The members are its rulers, the offi cers its servants Management expense cheaper than any other order of its size We have paid to members over 70 years of age, by reason of physical disability, almost quarter million dollars, being one tenth of face of certificate each year whlie living. inuring 1911 we paid 4,500 death claims to the amount of five million, two hundred thous and dollais ($5,200,000) yet our average mortality is less than in most organizations of its magni tude. Fifty four million of dol lars ($54,000,000) have been paid to widows and orphans in death claims this is sovereign juris diction only. Our emergency fund is now almost sixteen mil lion dollars ($16,000,000) which is invested in United States gov ernment and state and municipal bonds. This fund is being accum mulated to be drawn on when the proceeds of the monthly as sessments are less than the amount necessary to pay all death claims, pld age benefits and erec tion of monuments, - instead of making extra assessments or in creasing the assessment rates of the members The W. O. W. has over 10,000 camps and is making the most re markable growth of any order in the United States. We have erected over 33,000 monuments at the graves of our deceased sovereigns at a cost to the order of $100 for each monument. "Ouf Socereigns are not forgotten." All our ritualistic ceremonies are elevating and dignified, hav- f Continued on page 2.) BANK CLEARINGS REACHES HIGH WATER MARK. The bank clearings for High Point reached the high water mark in November, being $4,400,- 000, and it is interesting to hear it predicted by one of our leading bankers that even this figure will be increased for the month of December. This showing is favorable In deed. We have reached a condi tion in the growth of the town that it is no longer a novelty for new records to be set. What Does It Show? The showing reflects activity in the manufacturing business. If we had Piedmont county and fine roads running in High Point lishments would be benefitted one hundred per cent. The Street Appro priation The delegation Leaded by Mayor Tate and .consisting of the entire .board left this after noon for Greensboro,, where at 3 o'clock they appear before the board of county commissioners and petition the board for an ap propriation for the purpose of building streets in High Point connecting with highways lead ing into town. There should be no difficulty in securing it. The city is as much a pjart of the county as any other; area of the county. Greensboro Asks First Aid. At the last meeting of the Board Greensboro was given an appropriation of $10,000, $5000 on January I and $5000 later. This is a class of work intended by the legislature to be of ser vice to all classes and to which the towns were entitled. When this bill was introduced two years ago, the members of the legisla ture had in mind the connecting of highways through the towns. The towns and cities pay their proportion of road taxes which in the aggregate in this county amount's to over two thirds of all and it is right that the taxpayers in the towns should have some direct benefit. American Field Trials Here The Pointer Club of America, representing the famous Pointer Field Trials with probably an entry of 50 of the most noted field trial winners will be here December 5th when the great event- begins, jasting from 3 to 5 days. The handsomest silver trophy valued at $450, given by Mr. George Gould will be con tested for. The Darby. There will be a Darby and a free for all stake in which there will be large purses. Many Noted Visitors to be Here Among those who will visit the trials are G. Muss Arnolt, the celebrated animal artist of the world: I. C. Weiler. owner of celebrated race horses; the cele brated buffalo sportsman, Harry D. Kirkover, Kermit Roosevelt, son of our Bull Moose President ; George J. ' Gould, Clarence Mackay, Louis McGraw, Vincent Astor, secretary of the All Amer ican Field Trials, and many of the members of the Virginia-Caro lina trials. The trials which will begin on Mr. Gould's preserves will be open to the public, and the citi zens of High Point are cordially invited to attend them. An interesting report will appear in the Enterprise. The revival of these trials here this year reminds us of the cele brated eastern trials which began here in 1882. Many of the hunters say they have never been satisfied since the trials were moved. They are glad to get back to he Piedmont section. SHOOTING AT ASHEBORO. Chas. Johnson, a white man, was shot 'at Asheboro today and severely wounded in the hip. Johnson was brought to the Iigh Point hospital at noon for treatment. He was accused of breaking into a house and when Chief of Police Kennedy went to arrest him he ran and the chief fired, the ball taking effect in the hip, Johnson is badly wounded. THE COURTS. The Federal court in Greens boro began yesterday, Randolph court this morning ' in Ashe boro. Guilford Superior court for the trial of criminal causes con venes next Monday, December 9. High Point Lumber and Glass Hlfg'rs. Ask Government Aid Local Briefs Increasing crowds on the streets of the shopping district indicate that many Christmas lists have been made out. High Point is a fine place to do your holiday shopping. Thirteen-cent cotton and bum per crops generally this year, means much work for Santa Claus. E. II. Farriss has returned from a visit to Raleigh and Eastern Carolina. Miss Mozell Dicks, of Randle fan, is spending a few days here. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Farriss and Mrs. C. M. Ilauser saw Henriet ta Grossman in Winston last ev ening. The regular meeting of the school board will be held tonight at South Main Street school hui'ding at 7 o'clock. Dred Peacock went to Greens boro this morning on legal busi ness, lie will apepar before the board of commissioners with the city council in behalf of the ap propriation for High Point streets. Dr. Bradshaw is attending the county board meeting. Among those attending the Baptist State Convention are Messrs. A. E. Tate, Dr. Tyrtc, Clarence Smith, C. E. Keiger, A. J. Dodamead and F. M. Pickett. Misses Mary Hubbard, of Wilkesboro, Jaunita Masten, of Winston, Marion Woodly of Elizabeth City, Tomlinson, of Troy, Griffin, of Manteo, who are students at G. F. College, came over and spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Miss Linnie Mann, returning yesterday. Recorder Edmonds gave Mon-, roe Phillips 4 months on the county roads this morning. The evidence showed a flagrant case of non-support. Officers had been looking for Phillips since September, when he showed up here Saturday and was arrested. He left his wife sick at the time he deserted. Mr? and Mrs. T. F. Wrenn left today for Marion. The Xmas display of goods in many of the windows are attrac tive. A small house just outside the city limits, east, caught fire at 1 o'clock. Little damage. REVIVAL SERVICES Evangelist Camp gave very helpful and instructive services at the Presbyterian church yes terday and last night. Service tonight at 7.30. Cottage prayer meeting Wed nesday at 9.30. Afternoon ser vice at church at 3 o'clock.. Bring your bible with you. ' FULL SERVICE NEEDED High Point has reached that stage when it needs full telegra phic service every day and night. The two offices here have a pop ulation of 12,000 to serve and the service should be ever waiting for so large a number. It is not right to have to look up an oper ator on Sundays, after 10 o'clock at night during the week and on holidays. The telegraph service is one for emergency only, and should therefore be ever ready. , 0 PREPARATION FOR MUSI CAL FESTIVAL. he Choral Society will meet to night' at 7.30, a full attendance is required. The hearing of the interstate Commerce Commission here on next Monday is one of the most important hearings in the his tory of this community. It is be ing instituted by the Snow Lum ber Co., the Standard Mirror Co. and Ferd Ecker, representing overcharges of between $75,000 or $100,000 on which these firms have been unable to secure redress or any kind of remedial relief without going to the enor mous expense of appealing to the United States government for relief. Claims Piling Up. We are informed by the best authority that the Snow Lumber Co., now has filed against the Southern Railway Co., 2150 claims. These claims are properly filed, tabulated and numbered. When the business interests of this town get together and begin in earnest to right this flagrant injustice, then the town will have begun to lift the greatest handi cap it has to its growth and ex pansion. A heavy shipper said to us this morning: "If the Southern Rail way Co. happens to undercharge me 50 cents on a shipment, we arc notified, and must pay it be fore the goods are moved. But on the other hand they may over charge me $50 or $500, and no mention is made of it, they never call me up when they overcharge mc, I have to seek the courts at an expense to get back this over charge" There needs to be an equitable adjustment of rights and privi leges. The Remedy. National legislation should reg ulate this unjust system. It could be easily done. All the way-bills are checked by an auditor the same auditor that reports the undercharge should be forced by law to report the overcharge. AT INDUSRIAL CLUB.
