Washington, April 10. Should the
railroad strike threaten complete
paralysis of transportation .of the en
tire country, the government: would
have to intervene, according to high
administration officials." The strike is
already regarded as having almost
reached that staga, but officers who
are- keeping in closa 'touch, with the
situation believe that the leaders of
the unions will be able to control the
situation without government inter
ference. New York, April 10. An embargo
has been placed on express orders as
the railroad' strike has gained ground
in New York. Further tying up of
freight transportation and the seri
ous crippling of passenger service on
many lines has been reported.; It is
also feared that a freight embargo
might be required before the end of

A Letter To The People
From Mrs. G. W. Weeks
When Christ said, love your neigh
bor as thyself, whoim He 'mean?
Do you' think He iieant the family
who lives next door, ' or some friend
who lives in the same town that you
live. Nay, not so, bat . the man or
woman, boy' or girlf Christian or sin
ner, or any creature that needs you
help,' This is youf aieighbor. h How
did God say. treat them? Love them
as thyself. Are we doing this? Are
we keeping God's aw'? .'.. !
When a certain lajiwyer tasked God,
what he should do to inherit eternal
life Gqd answered, laying, Thou shalt
love' the Lord,, thy, God, withall thy
heart, and with allllthy soul?: and with
all thy strength, and ' with all thy
mind; and thy neighbor as. .thyself..
,i.Through this wrtkl I want to make
an appeal to some Christian 'man, to
help a poor lad of 16 ears, who is
in jail here, he told me, he had no
people, except his; mother, who is in
New Orleans, he? is in bondage for
stealing. I waret some one to pay
his fine, he has nxrfriends, no money,
no home, car. yaw imagine anything
more pathetic? Suppose your boy
were in the same fix. It ia hard for
me to understand .why my purse is
not sufficient to aorrespond with my
heart. L would piy his fine, and tefl
him to go live for Jesus. Why is it
people are so hajrd to forgive one
another for their .sins, when we look
up in the face of our precious Lord
and hear him say, "Forgive and ye
shall be forgiven." Haye we done as
He has told us-? 7 'hank God none are
so, low down in (sin, that-God does
not welcome them, and forgive and
forgive. A woman who calls herself
a Christian, said to me the other
day, "Mrs. WeeMs if I were you
would not go to tl ie jail to visit those
prisoners, that's t he. preaeher's job."
I asked her to shiow me in the Bible
where God makes any specifications.
I told her I-was a messenger of God,
and my business Lin this old, world is
l. 1 1. t 1 ' I 1 J 1 I
carry ugnt ion me aamen places.
And on that f ina 1 day I shall hear
these words froj.n the lips of my
Father, as he gatj'iers all nations be
fore Him for tho judgment:
For I was an ' hungred, and ye
gave me meat I 'was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink, I was a stranger, and
ye took me in. N .ked, and y cloth
ed me. I was sick, and ye visited me.
t was in prison, a;nd ye come unto
me." . :.- ': .v
The woman who ..made this remark
at the last day will find her answer
in Matt,' 25, 43, 41, 45, 46 verses.
We should be careful in the selection
of the material we send to Heaven,
with which to build our eternal Home.
I seek no guide save only Thee. Nor
ask the way Thou tsadewt me. My
only prayer:. "Lord, jnay I know the
work that Thom would have me do?"
In Christian; Service.

KITCHEN REPORTED
T
Ten Days Must Elapse Before
' Determining Extent ) Of
J- Stroke, Physicians Says
'. V (By Associated Press) )
I Washington, April 10.-Represent.
ative Kitchen" of North Carolina,
stricken with paralysis after having
just completed a speech in the house
yesterday, ' showed considerable im
provement today. ' His left side was
completely paralyzed, physicians 'say,
and ten days must elapse, bef ore the
extent of the stroke can be de
termined. ' i
The sudden stroke of paralysis is
the second stroke suffered by Mr.
Kitchen in recent months, although
the first trouble in December did not
become known, even to the colleagues
of the minority letder in the House.
It will require several days before
a definite statement can be made of
Mr. Kitchin's condition, said clo;ie
friends who had ?talked with . the
medical attendants. The Tar Heel's
mouth is drawn and he has great dif
ficulty in articulation. v fl '
' The noticeable illness of , Mr.
Kitchin came as a dramatic climax
to his address in the House yesterday
afternon in opposition to the peace
resolution. Democratic colleagues
during his speech " called for their
leader to speak louder, not for a
moment realizing the difficulty with
which he was, speaking. Unbounded
applause had greeted the utterances
of Mr. Kitchin, and his colleagues
warmed up to him under the wither-
ing f ire which he aimed at" the Re
publicans. Mr. Kitchin concluded his
address and walked unsteadily to his
seat. A few minutes later he moved
towards the rear of the hall, where '
colleagues ' were gathering to con
gratulate him. He said he was feel
ing bad and with , the assistance- of
several Representatives went to his
office on the first floorof the Capitol.

being "Capital and Labor." The
speaker went deeply into his subject-,
giving the history of strikes and labo.r
unrest in general, and suggesting cer
tain remedies which would : tend to
relievev the present situation. The
club had as its guest Mr. Hale, father
of Rev. Mr Hale, wly has been with

WANTED STATE TO RATIFY
(Newa and Observer)
To the Editor:
I see that several counties have in
structed their delegates for and
against woman suffrage, which is all
right, but when it comes to not vot
ing for a man because of his stand on
woman suffrage, it is like some
cranks on prohibition, that would in
vader our orchards and vineyards for
private use. have been opposed
to . woman suffrage on the ground
that women were to pure and holy
to dabble in politics, but since they
are forgitig ahead in every avocation
of life, I would say let all vote that
want to. I have learned in the last
seven-six years that there is no better
adviser in domestic affairs than a
goodfvoman, and there is ample room
for improvement in publie affairs.
If it wasnot for women, I would not
care if Adam and Eve were' in the
Garden of Eden now, and I be float
ing around in the air like a microbe.
You may call them ethereal things,
fairies and angels without wings, and
all that, but they are a power to be
reckoned with, and when we see a
think is going o come, why kick? I
would like to see the grand old state
east the deciding vote.

Jesus Life After His Death As-
.sures Us of Our Life After
Death
x (By Rev. B. E. Brown)
He showed Hinuelf after Hit
panion by many infallible
proof, being teen of them forty
day Actf 1:3.
The forty days following Easter
are kept in commemoration of the
period between the Lord's resurrec
tion and ascension. For that period
He was -on earth in His glorified
body, showing Himself at intervals
to a chosen few. We may mention
three thoughts that certainly come
to us in this time:
1. The life of Jesus after His death
assures us of our own life after
death. In the light cf that certainty
Tins snort earthly l;lu becomes mere
ly'the beginning of a new, strange
and wonderful life for us. What ad
ventures lie before me beyond the
grave I do. not know, but my lack of
knowledge of it makes the prospect
all the more exciting and romantic.
What am I going to enter into a few
short years? In what distant star
am I going to live? Among what mys
terious company of angels and
spirits am I going to dwell? This life,
so tame and monotonous without that
prospect, becomes endued with all
the importance of a vestibule that
opens into a new and unknown world.
2. The presence in visible form of
Jesus on earth for awhile after His
death, assures me of vthe reality of
the spirit world .that lies all about
nie now behind the world of things
I see and hear and feel. I know that
I am walking in two worlds, the world
of matter and the world of spirit, and
the latter is as real as the former. I
see and otueh with my body a world
of men and trees and brutes and
earth sand water; and altto I walk
among a great company of invisible
intangible creatures, spirits and
angels and devils, and with Christ
Himself, and this spirit world is the
more ri-a' and permanent of the two,
for the reason that matter may be but
a creation of mind, while mind-can.
not possibly be a creation of matter,
if you catch what I mean. ' My body
is not really I, you see, but my spirit
is, and so the spirit world is the more
real ;and-certatniw,"J : --
3. The life on earth of Jesus after
His death assures me of His con
tinued presence here to help and
guide and bless. When I am sick I
have someone near me to whom I
can appeal for healing more able to
cure me than a doctor. When I am
in doubt, I have sojneone near me
more able to give me wise advice than
finy man or woman. When I am
weak or 'discouraged, when I fail and
grow oppressed with the sense of my
helplessnessI am certain that there
is someone, strong and wise and lov
ing above all earthly orcaturcs, right
at my 'side, to whom t'can turn and
never turn in vain, for strength and
peace.

SUSPENSION RULE
ICAN'T BE RESORTEO
TO IN THE FUTURE
Rule Had Been Suspended In
j March Account of Certain
j Apprehensions
! NOT THOUGHT TO BE
J NECESSARY REMOVE RULE
! (By The Associated Press)
New York, April 10. Correspond-
j ends between the Federal Bureau of
Markets and officials of the Nejr
York Cotton Exchange which has just
been made Public nere, indicates that
j the suspension of the rule limiting
daily fluctuations in futures to 200
points, may not be resorte dto again
in the case of maturing contracts.
This fluctuation rule was suspend
ed, by the exchange in the case of ;
March contracts from March 22nd to
March 25th inclusive, owing to ap
prehensions that it might give rise to
claims of an unintentional failure to
make deliveries of actual cotton or
properly complete the terms of the
contract. It seems that such appre
hensions had developed out of a mis
understanding of the exact character
of the New York contract and trad
ing rules providing for a penalty of
i'o poiins above the spot price in the
case of an unintentional default. The'
existance of the impresion in the
South and elsewhere, that shorts pen
alties, was brought to the attention
of the' exchange authorities by the
Bureau of Markets in a letter re
questing exact information.
Replying to the inquiry, Leopold
S. Bache, vice-president of the ex
change, emphatically denied any pos
sibility that a .member of the ex
change short of the maturing month,
who waited until the last day and
then, failing to find .contracts for
sale at tho maximum price, would be
fciven the benefit of this provision,
and added that In his opinion, "such
action would subject the member to
a severe penalty as the proceeding
under no conception of the rule could
be considered as an unpremediated
and unintentional default, unless
there were some other ( qualifying
frtrA if Sam -
VW1IU1 kllVIIPl
also informed the Bureau of Markets
that in order to eliminate the possi
bility of anybody claiming an unin
tentional default by reason of the 2
cent trading limit, the limit would be
removed on March contracts for the
period March 22nt"to March , 25th,
was Acknowledged by George Living-
ston, chief of the Bureau of Markets,
as definite and as clarifying' certain
misunderstandings .which had de
veloped among some members of the
cotton trade in regard to the. nature
of the contracts dealt in one the'Ex
change. "With a clear understand
ing by all parties concerned of the in
terpretation of the rule regarding de
faults which "you enunciated in your
letter," wrote Mr. Livingston, "it
ought not to be .necessary to remove
for any period what ever the rule
prohibiting fluctuations beyond tho
2-cent limit."
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Have you ever thought how much
a public library means to the travel
ing public? .j We have all had the ex
perience of waiting for a few hours
in a town, in which we had 90 friends
or acquaintances. Memory recalls
the desolateness of the notel rooms,
the feeling of isolation, and- the long
dreary hours drawn, ou to several
times their length by the lack of oc
cupation or' amusement A i
On the other hand, we have all had
several hours to wait in quite a dif
ferent place. Although we knew no
ne,we were attracted by a card
reading, '"Visit the 'public library on
street." Thither we wended
our footsteps and were so absorbed
and so .entertained that we almost
missed our train. v
Tarboro can be just such a town
as the latter to our rural friends
people ' of the rural sectibns--to
transients, and to the tobacconists,
who sojourn with us for several
months each year. Let's make it
such a place that all will remember
their stay with pleasure and want to ;
come back.
