I regard it as one of the most accurate pieces of reporting that has come under ny observation, especially when it was not tu?n by a stenographer. 1. The first exception which Capt. Ashe takes and which he regards as inaccurate was as to Senator Sim in oris position on cottonseed oil. JLapt. Ashe denies ho voted for a duty on it. Sen. Simmons made two ! speeches for a tsriff cn cotton seed j oiicne of them en April 22, 1909, j f-n'-l the other April L'l, 1909. lie favored tin's tariff in tho interest cf j the cotton oil manufactureas and I said Germany was build inc milk j cr I that wcuiJ consume 500.000 tons of i Amerlcam cotton seed and that was ! cr?-tic 0U3e ought to have been ! mcivlv a i-oo-ir-ri- iht (n,n,1vSvery clear to our senior Senator was :r. tending to become a larpe ;buyct of our cotton setrd and then compete with our oil mills.

Capt. Ad mer.t of Senator Simmons!, position I for n tariff on t-'-o!s i; inaccurate. ! On Slav 2-t. U!09, the Congressional Record shows that Senator Simmons voted against removing protection on building material, carpenter's tools, etc. The Congressional Rec ord ,i May 20, 1912, shows that he "accepted" an amendment putting 20 per cent, on machine tools. This however, was voted clown, only seven . , ' , .,, ; i i again.: t. ir. me uui io wiuuu amendment was offered had machine )s cn the free list. 4. Capt. Ashe says that the state ment that the tariff on quebracho, for which Senator Simmons vo ted, nrofeefive. is unfounded. Sena-i j. , m tor Simmons himself made a speech in f aver of this tariff on . May 20, 1 000, as shown by the Congressional Record, in which he clearly showed that the tariff was for the benefit and for the protection of the chest nut esk extract manufacturers. 5. On May 13, 1909, Senator Sim mons voted to put a tariff on iron ore when the bill as it passed the House had iron ore free. 0. Capt. Ashe denies that the tariff of 0 cents on coal, for which Senator Simmons voted, is for pro tection. Senator Simmons in his Chfrlotte speech, September, 1908, which was printed in pamphlet de nounced the coal trust and advoca ted putting coal on the free list On June 23. 1909, Senator Aldrich appealed to the Republicans who wen' in favor of protection to vote for 1 he 60 cents rate on coal.

I charged that on March 1:5, 1'JOS, he favored and voted for an ocean mail subsidy ! w'ch was far woife than the one which Kansorn and Vance onnosed in 1W0. and that no other Democrat from this State, either in the Senate or in the Hour.?, over favorod the proposition. The Democratic mem bers of the postoince committee in the House, including Hon. Jno. Tl. Small from this State, declared the I ill for which Senator Simmons spoke and voted, in reality provided ship subsidy, and further that it was neitner more or less than a poorly concealed attempt to subsidize our merchant marines;" and further that the same men, the same interests and the same influences were pro i niun inaV ocean mail subsidy bill which has for years been pressing the old direct ship subsidy proposi tion. Our platform sdopted in Bal timore the other day opposes boun ties or subsidies for the merchant marine, yet Capt. Ashe says Senator Simmons did not regard it as a sub sidy when hespoke for it. I think that what was so clear to the Demo- that it was as subsidy. If Capt. Ashe will read the records of the dates I have cited above I sub mit that his sense of fairness will suggest that he withdraw his letter and state that at the time ho pre pared it he did not consult the re I will add that the position which I have taken and now maintain upon the tariff is in exact aceord with the teachings that Capt. Ashe gave the people of North Carolina when he was editor of the Nevs-Observer- Chronicle, and so far as I know, entertained and I mean no reflection on him J n . . r. TJ . i unuer oeaiiior ouumviix. ii is un j fortunate that the senatorial atmos phere has changed his viewpoint. In that paper on January SO, 1891, Capt. Ashe declared that party plat forms should be upheld: on April 1 24, 1894, that Senators who put r tariff reform in jeopardy were wrri-.- .-,114- j of the traces; on May 23, 1S94, that I if Democratic Senators had pursued j the course that Senator Gorman pur sued, they would have been no bet ter than Republicans who parceled out the power of taxation to serve private interests; on January 10, 1894, he commended free iron ore and free coal; on January 2G, 1894, he again, among other tmngs, corn- mondea free coal and tree iron ore, and stated that the votes on such questions emphasized the difference between the two parties; on June 24, 1&90, as editor of the News and Observer, he declared that recipro city was a step towards the princi ples of the Democratic party; on September 7, 1892, that reciprocity was ABC Democratic doctrine; on February 27, 1890, he declared tht the new lav placing a tariff on agri cultural produces in no sense bene fitted the farmer. In fact no man as editor stood more firmly for the Democratic doctrine against protec tion, was more drastic in denouncing protection as a delusion and a snsre to the farmer, was more emphatic in favoring free iron ore and free coal and reciprocity than Editor Ashe. He was then a type of the sound, militant, aggressive Demoe- ..i racy tor tarut ior leveuut- uu.. . Pity it is that the t hinge he then taught as contrary to Democratic interests and the interests of the people, he now upholds in behalf of his chief. Pity it is that the policies which he advocated are now discard ed by him in order to sustain Sena tor Simmons in his departure fi om Democratic doctrines. I forwarded to Senator Simmons a copy of my original speech in which I first made all the charges above referred to. I stated in that speech that if Senator Simmons thought I misquoted him or misstated his po sition in any matters which I charg- ied against his record, I would be glad to meet him in joint discussions before the people at such times and places as he might name and under take to establish my contentions. I will establish every charge I made SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST I, 1912. against his record in my Raleigh speech, in my Greensboro speech or in my Durham speech, in joint dis cussion with him. I am glad that Capt. Ashe found no inaccuracies in my remarks upon Lorimer, reciprocity, lumber, pine apples and the Senator's attitude on the tariff and the farmer. Senator Simmons in his speeches for a tariff on cotton seed oil, for a tariff on monazite sand, fo a tariff on que bracho and for a tariff on lumber showed conclusively that he favors a tariff for the benefit of certain in dustriesand this is all that pro tective tariff means. In addition to these speeches, ho has by various votes shown his protective views. On July 19 1911. ho argues that a protective tariff benefits the farmer. Our State platform declares that protection is a rsbbeiy of the many for the enrichment of the few. Our national platform declares that Con gress has no constitutional right to levy a tariff for anv purpose except for revenue. It enrses the record of the Democratic House and de clares that protection does not help the farmer or the wage earner. Yours truly, W. W. Kitchin. Raleigh, July 17. WIcts CoRcernino Good Roads. North Carolina spent four million dollars on her roads last year with absolutely no State supervision; in -some cases competent highway engi neers have been employed, but in many cases the money lias been ex pended in a dangerously slipshod way. This is the onty State, so far as we know, that is spending that amount in such a careless fashion. In this day of the multiplying motor car, traffic has grown so far beyond merely local travel that it is to the interest of the entire State to see that the good roads movement does not receive a setback in any locality; where money is spent without ade quate return it does receive a decid ed scttc.'.!:. no rcc.,Ur where the fault may lie. But if the State stood 1 round out 10,500,000 bales by Au ready to furnish expert advise, if gust 31st. not financial aid, the chances of the money being thrown away would be greatly lessened, for it is not graft that is making away with our road i unci s, but ignorance. We must have a State Highway Department; sooner or later wemust also have State aid, but it is worse than useless to furnish funds with out any supervision of their expen diture. With a competent man at head of a department with power to do something, we would have a starting-place from which to prosecute the work; with some system injected into tne situation ? would know where we are-. At present, beyond the incomplete figure., that Dr. Pratt has been able to gather in the inter vals between his other duties, we have no road statistics nothing whatever to go on. A highway de partment could soon give us the in formation that is so absolutely ne cessary to any intelligent attempt to improve the roads of the State at large, but without it we are all at sea. We ?re working in the dark and as often as not striving against each other. Lexington Dispatch. A Big Cow Fish. Beaufort, N. C. July 27 One of the most curious fish ever caught near Beaufort was'captured yester day morning by CaptJohn B. Moore, a boatman from the Inletl Inn, This fish is known as a cow fish and is of the mammal variety something similar to a whale, meas ured some twenty feet in length and weighedabout 2,500 pounds. It was captured right in front of Inlet Inn and was quite a curiosity to the vis itors in Beaufort. The Editorial Association from Morehead City, Atlantic Hotel, was brought over in boats to see this curiosity. Captain Moore says that this is quite a cari osity and is a very rare fish. The way it was captured, it came up in shcally water and athe tide fell, it could not get off the shoal and beat itself to death and .while in its fury, it "would throw water forty or fifty feet high, making a beautiful rain bow effect, to be seen from the Inlet Inn porch, about 7:30 o'clock.

Between the arrival of the first bale of cotton in southern Texas on July 2nd and the beginning of the season on September 1st is a period of about sixty days in which the mind of the market begins to be made up on a decreasing proportion of risks and increasing certainties. The time is at hand when definite knowledge cf what the old crop will have to spare is available. Oiie thing thus far is certain, thut there will be no big surplus anywhere. Another is that because of the late season Sectember-October rsceipts are apt to be light. A month or more ago it was held that the South probably had 2,000, 000 bales left over. But any one who goes to find it will come out much below his estimate. A trip through the South made late in June ind early in July, covering every important cotton State, rc-e:i only a few instances of cotton on railway platforms and then only in small quantities. The fact is that the South has sold out much more fully than most people believe. They have done so because they they needed tho money for this year's crop, to crow which they borrowed less than usual. Another factor which brings early new cotton into prominence, beside i,, ... t tne genera! clearing-up ot the home! market, is the early efforts of Euro- j s atisfactory. Hundreds of volun pean buyers to get hold of Septem- j f ary testimonials bear evidence to ber and October deliveries. This is; this fact. Cal-Sino is put up in two the habit of Europe whenever cot-1 forms, one for poultry and one for ton is low. At this time it is paying hogs.

This year's price is likely to be nearer the maximum . ofthere than the minimum. Wall Street Journal. Sometimes one hears it said that Southern -farmers are lazy, but the trouble is that the rnsjority of them j re not. ore-hair as lazy as they should be. They will insist on doing twice as much walking as is necessa ry in cultivating most of their crops. The Yankee farmer gets astride a ri ding cultivator and cultivates two sides of his corn row at once, and then thinks the Southern farmer la zy, altho the Southerner takes just twice as many steps and twice as, much of his own time, and twice as much of the mule's time as would be necessary if the work were done with improved machinery. Isn't it a case of lazy brains, rather than lazT bod ies? The Progesive Farmer. ern farmers must be, "More and better Livestock." -But good live stock cannot be had without plenty of feeds and a knowledge on the part of the farmers of how to feed. We can raise the feeds, but many farmers have yet to learn how to feed for best results. Here's a great opportunity for the young farmer who is wiliing to think and investigate. The Progressive Far mer. Will rye sown with pea3 at last working of the corn be too early? Yes. Better sow the peas alone. Then cut and shock the corn and if the peas are rank mow them for hoy, and disk the stubble well and sow rye early in the fall, or what is better, sow winter oats, as they will make better feed than rye.
