Nearly every article that North Caro lina people have used for the past for ty years has been taxed to the limit, and it was paid without a wry face un til Senator Simmons decided thst as long as every thing else was taxrd North Carolina products should have a share.

N. Amended Bill Is Finally Pushed Through Senate Bailey Vot ing Against. Washing ton, August 2. -The House farmers, free list bill, exempting from tariff duties a . variety of agricultural implements, cereala, meats,,, cotton baiiging and other articles, was defeat ed by the Senate by a tie vote of 39 to 39. Its Democratic framers claimed that in effecting a great saving to the people generally it involved a net re duction of a little over $8,000,000 in tariff revenue. According to program, the Senate im mediately after voting down the bill reconsidered the vote without roll call on motion of Senator La Follette, Re publican insurgent. . Senator Kern, of Indiana. Democrat, then offered a com promise amendment. The Kern amend rnent, like the' Bailey amendment, that had been- previously defeated, took meat products out of the free list bill: but it granted the privileges of- free entry of meats to oun tries that in turn admit free of duty American cotton, corn, wheat, oats, horses, cattle and hogs. - ' v. The Senate addpted the Kern com promise amendment to the free list bill, 49 to 29. . Democratic CeaJer Underwood de clared in the House today that if any one of the Democratic tariff revision bills should go to the President and be signed by him, the extra session of Congress would be continued until the entire revision program was carried through.

Your fairness towards our Chief Executive is indeed commendable. The confidence of the majority of the people in North Caroli na nmed him as their candidate and elected him their governor, and they have no cause to tegret their action. For the sole purpose of discrediting him before the people, he is hold responsi ble for the failure of the legislature to pass drastic an ti-trust laws. How, in the name of common sense, could he have secured the passage of such a law over an adverse body of legislators? He was wise enouch to know It- would be "darting straws agiinst the wind" and the people of North Carolina have lost no fa ah in him on account of his failure to control, should he desired to, a leg is lative body whose majority were seek' ing to "put him in a hole."- We send our representatives to Raleigh to make laws f ir our protection, and our Gov ernor to see that these laws are execu ted. and in this sacred duty Mr. Kitch- in has not been remiss. The people of North Carolina know Mr. Kitchio's per sonal record and character, they know his enmity to trusts and his devotion Id the comn on people, and it will peed more than the sttacks of unjust critics to shake the faith the people have in him. . ! As we understand it, there are four eminent sons of North Carolina, who are in the race for senatorial honors, either of whom North Carolina ceuld send to the National Congress with nride. and each one of them have the same right to seek thelionor. The attempt to build the fortunes of one by seeking ta destroy the other is contemptible and compromising to the great office to which these honored men of our State aspire, anl they should, without bis of time, place their stamp I of dinanuroval unon any such politics. The people should decide, witbout br , as. who shall represent (hem. These newspaper articles for the furtherance of the political ambition of one candi date at the expense of another engen ders strife and arrays one faction against another when there should be no factions in our party. He-is a weak Kitchin man who eould be changed by such changes and lUewisa a poor sup- portsr of Mr. Simmons, Mr. Aycock or Mr, Clark. Let these gentlemen "show themselves tu the people during the . this class of goods at Everyone car campaign of next year and the voters ries guarantee Ahat they will do all you will make a wie choice.

Berger estimated that this measure would cost the Government about $347, 000.000 annual'y. -The resolution is unique in that it c ntains a clause spe cipcally forbidding the Uuited S'ates Supreme Court to pass, upon its consti tutionality. . -The Wisconsin Congress also intro duced a resolution for the appointment of a commiHsioi"composed of members of the three p:irtes in Congress" to compile data on old-age pensions. .

Dr. Wiley Would Have Leas (Foam And Larger Measure. Washington, August 1. Having long ago settled the vexed problem of 'what ia whiskey the Agriculture Depart ment's board of food and drug 'inspec tion, headed ty the redoubtable Dr. Hirvey W. Wiley has undertaken to de termine "what is beer." Manufacturers of beer and other malt beverages and barley raisers from all over the country are here attending the hearing, conducted by the board, and many others have sent ther views by mail. The object of the board's inquiry is to bring malt liquors within the scope of the pure food and drug set, and te determine just what shsll .and what shall not be contained in liquids) sold under the labels "lager beer," "book beer," ale, porter, stout and malt ex trant. The boajjd has propounded a series of questions as to ingredients, fermenting, coloring, carbonaLing, etc. The application of foreign names to do mestic products also is to be inquired into. Barley raisers and maltsters are re sponsible for this effort to determine "what is beer." The Consumers' Na tional Leagua of Chicago and the So ciety of Equity, the latter composed largely of farmers, are aiding in the movement, It is claimed that much of the beer sold in this country is made of corn or rice, and that some of the malt extract and other bevetagei are not what their names lead consumers to think them.

Progressive Farmer Gives Bea- s soon Why It Should be f Supported. , Will you please give me your opinion of the Farm Life School act T" one rea der writes us. "My county is to have an election soon as to the establishment of one. I can't see where it would do " me cny good (I have five children from two to twelve years old), but I want to . be right and am willing to take what you say as authority. It seems to me that the same amouut spent on our com mon schools would do more good. Am I right?" , By way of reply let us say that we be'ieve our friend, and all other farm- - era, ought to support the f arm Life School idea. We must provide high schools for our farm boys and girls. ' The town has high schools for the town boys and girls, and the town pays all the expense. Now the State is offer ing to pay part of th? expense in order to help the farm boys sn i girls get high sch ols, and if the farmers do not show that they appreciate tlie offer, it may be hard to get the State to make such propositions igain. As for the common schools, we be lieve they will be greatly helpej and never hurt by every appropriation vo ted for a Farm Life School. In the first place, these Farm Life Schools are going to illustrate and demonstrate how to make educational practical and such an example will be of untoli benefit in' improving all the country schools round . about. In the next place, these Farm Life Schools will train teachers in the proper atmosphere and environment to succeed with our country schools. Such teachers will know how to deal with -agricultural studies and domestic sci ence, and will know, in short,' how to link the public Bchools with actual life and work. Vote for the Farm Life School It simply means to give farm boys and girls the same advantages town boys ' and girls have and the state to he'p you at that. And it will make your common schools better and provide bet ter teachers for them, and so increase the efficiency of schools and people as to make you better able, not less able, to support your common schooL Pro gressive Farmer. -' . Has Jeff Davis Old Seat. ' .'(. For many years a certain desk in the Senate chamber has been coveted by John Sharp 'Williams of Mississippi, and bis wish will be realized in taking the seat for merly occupied by Jeffer son Davis in the Upper House. This desk of the one-time President of the Confederacy.is perhaps of more ' historic interest than any other in the Senate. It is still disfigured with the bayonet marks made during the war by Union soldiers who attempted to des troy it. Some members, however, in sist that many of its sears came from Senator Tillman's pitchfork. Southern visitors, especially, always ipsist upon having this desk pointed out to them, and it seems fitting that it should be occupied by a Senator hail ing from the commonwealth of Missis sippi, Jefferson Davis' home state. Senator Williams was most hcarily welcomed back to active public life by many Senators who were f -irmei ly his colleagues in the House.

The cotton season "will soon be open snd preparations for cotton for marked will soon begin. I would like to make a few suggestions, that is the abuses that have grown up in the past few years be corrected, the excessive use of bagging the txnosure.ot cotton to the weather causing it to damage and heavy losses sustained every year by both buyer and seller, see that your cotton is properly housed if you intend holding same. Regarding excess bag ging, me mills as wen as an exporters have issued their protest against this abuse and over determined to correct ssme in every instance where there is more covering than necessary including bagging and band, and the proper de duction will be made by all the buyers ia the Interior.'
