KATK8 OK erBHTKIITION: One year, cash in advance, - ? ? fl.00 Six months, cash in advance, ? ? .50 Friday, December 7, 1906. I President Roosevelt is volumi nous if nothing more, and it goes without saying that he is much now. His messageto Con gress is one of the longest on record, consuming two hours and twenty-five minutes in the read ing Tuesday. It contains much that is of great interest to the country but only a small per cent of our citizens will take time to read it through. W. C. Dowd, of Mecklenburg,is a candidate for Speaker of the House, and it is our opiuion that no better selection could be made. Mr. Dowd is a clean, up right and courageous citizen who will fill the Speaker's chair with honor to the Sf^ate. lie is a man of sterling qualities, honest pur poses, affable manners, and withal a Christian gentleman. Such men are an honor to the State. The generosity of the citizens of Smithtield was never more clearly shown thuu it was here last Monday when they contri buted about $600 cash for the help of Mrs. Myatt who lost al most everything she had in the fire Sunday night. It is a good thing to live in a place where the people are willing to help those in need. Our people are broad minded and conservative, kind hearted and generous, and al ways have open ears to the cry of the needy. SOUTHERN SURRENDERS SUBSIDY. Special appropriations and subsidies to corporations are things of the past iu the Ameri can Government. For many years many of the big railroads have been receiving subsidies for carrying the mail in addition to the regular pay under contract for this service. The following appeared in Wednesday's News and Observer from their able Washington correspondent, Mr. Thomas J. Fence: "The Southern Railway has colutorily asked the Government to terminate its contract for the operation of the subsidized fast mail train between Washington and Atlanta, from which it re ceived annually one hundred and forty-nine ttiousaud dollars. It has been well understood in Washington that the Southern would have great difficulty to ever again induce Congress to i . , ? . _ ? muxe tms appropriation. l.ust winter the House only gave one majority in favor of the subsidy, after a hard fought contest, ami it was the prediction of VV. VV. Kitchin.who led the fight against the proposition, that it would never again run the gauntlet of Congress. His words weie cer tainly prophetic. " The contract for the subsidy appropriation does not expire until July 1st, 3 907. llut the Southern wants it terminated Jauuary 1st, six uiouttis in ad vance. The Southern offers in support of its action that "in creased tiaffic" makes necessary this action. The claim is made that tbv railroad cannot make the schedule required of the train and that the heavy tines and for feitures imposed render the an nulment desirable "It is said that the Southern has not ocen able to maintain their schedule for two months past. Every railroad in the country received this subsidy at one time, but the Southern was the lisr to jjive it up. The op ponents of the subsidy have al ways maintained that these spe cial mail trains could be opera ted at great profit without an\ special aid from the govern ment." CLAYTON'S NEWS BUDGET.

When cotton was only six ceuts per pound it was not hurd to get farmers to attend the meetings of the Southern Cotton Associa tion and they would then give some money to its support, but uow cotton is a good price aud most of theui are indifferent to ward the Association.
