Th. riiirhnm man who collected money to buy a cork leg for an un fortunate townsman of his and then mbezzled the fund, presumably pending the major portion of It at the "near-beer" saloons, certainly has a good claim to the title of the "meanest" man yet discovered. Not the least of the fruits of the recent parliamentary victory of the Insurgent forces in Congress over the Speaker will be the possibility of enartlne leelslation providing for forest preservation, to which move ment the Speaker has been consid ered an arch-enemy. There is good -prospect that the Weeks bill, carry ing an appropriation of $11,000,000 for the purchase of lands about the bead waters of navigable streams, will become a law. The board of aldermen of the town of Lexington has made a good move in passing an ordinance which la to go into effect April first forbid ding the Tallroads from running trains through the corporate limits of the town at any rate faster than elx miles an hour. Where there are double tracks, as there are at Lex ington, the running of trains, fre quently passing in both directions, at a high rate of speed over grade cross, tngs is extremely dangerous, and should be prohibited.

Anti-Sa loon League.) - While there Is a universal cry go ing on, not only In our State, but In all other dry territory of the nation, against the protection that the Inter-state Commerce Law give the li quor traffic, the National Anti-Saloon League and other temperance organizations are hard at work to se cure relief. There has already been introduced at the present Congress, the "Langley-Curtls-Antl-S a 1 o o n League Inter-State Liquor Shipment Bill." Senate Bill No. 2486 and House Bill No. 5169, The bill reads as follows: "To regulate the Interstate Com merce Shipment of Intoxicating Li quors. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of representatives of the Unit ed States of America in Congress as- j sembled: That any person, firm, I corporation, common carrier, or any agency of interstate commerce who shall ship, express, or otherwise . transport any distilled, malt, vinous ' or Intoxicating liquor from any State, foreign country, territory or district of the United States to any other State, territory or district of the United States where such ship ments or transportation of such li quor cannot legally be made from one noint to another within such !

The Singing Class of 1910 from the Oxford Orphange will start on its first or Eastern concert tour on Mon day, March 28th. The first tour will close before June 24th, the date of the annual Saint John's Day exercis es on the grounds of the institution. Near the last of July the second or Western tour will begin. These annual concerts have reach ed a really high standard of excel lence. The children and those who accompany them represent a cause very near to the hearts of our peo ple. Even if the tour and entertain ments were not In the Interest of a great work, the character of the con certs would merit large and liberal patronage. An admission fee Is, as a rule, charged and for this the child ren certainly give full value and more. The funds brought to this Institu tion through these tours help much in its maintenance.

It is not more Interesting than significant to record the prompt and favorable answer qf the people s representatives" to this letter. Within three days from its mail ing there were a hundred replies from congressmen from middle west ern and Southern States, "agreeing" in whole or in part with the farmers demands. Since that time the great majority of the sixty-first 'congress have sent respectful and encourag ing answers to the circular letter. Manifestly it Is Impossible to quote these letters going out today to the farmers unions papers. The bureau, however, estimates that 90 per cent favor abolishing gamming In farm products; that 95 per cent favor a parcels post, the preference being that such a system should be first confined to rural free delivery roads; that an overwhelming major ity favor postal savings banks in some form, provided provision is made to keep the deposits in the home localities; that practically all congressmen heard from favor rigid restriction of foreign immigration; that 85 per cent are opposed to a central bank; that virtually all fa vor great liberality In congressional appropriations towards the farmer. In the statement preceding the copies of the congressional letters. President Barrett, while encouraged by the splendid showing made thus far, "refrains from celebrating" the passage of these measures, because of the possibility that all of these promising congressmen are not in earnest and because of the ability of a "few powerful men controlling the house and senate," to "emasculate" or "entirely annihilate" legislation at will. Never In our history has the Amer ican congressman, collectively and Individually, been so watched and criticised as by the real representa tive of the American farmer. The statesmen of the sixty-first congress will be compelled to toe the mark and face the issue and deal squarely with his constituents. If the farmer keeps up his present policy, as expressed by the Farmers Union, for two years, he will get what he wants and have the politics of the country in a swing. legally be made from another point ( within the same State, territory or district of the United States, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fined not 1 less than five hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars for i the first offense, and for the second offense not less than one thousand j dollars nor more than five thousand dollars and imprisoned for a term of not less than six months nor more I than two years." This bill provides for the direct exercise of congressional power by prohibiting transportation of liquor from outside a State to points to which liquor cannot be legally trans, j ported from another point within the ' same State. It is calculated to ap ply both to prohibition States and prohibition territory in local option States. Its structure, it is believed, not only obviates the constitutional objection, but Is manifestly in ac cord with a sound public policy. This bill was Introduced in the House by Hon. John W. 'Langley, of Kentucky, who in faithful, sincere and zealous advocacy of temperance measures is second to no man in Congress, and in the Senate by Hon. Charles Curtis, of Kansas, a tried and tested friend of every reasonable temperance movement. I believe that this bill is the thing for North Carolina and therefore, we desire to give all of our influence to aid Its passage. We would advise those, who favor such measure, to send personal letters to their con gressmen and senators and ask them to use their Influence to aid this leg islation, giving them the name and number of the bill. We also advise our conferences, conventions, synods and other church gatherings to pass resolutions and reports asking for the passage of this bill. I believe if the forces of righteousness will put forth strenuous efforts for the pass age of this bill, that it can be secur ed through the present congress, and if not, in the very near future.

Never have the benefits of this noble institution been restricted to the children of Masons. The primary conditions of admission have always been the destitution, the need of the children. While the management of the Ox ford Orphanage strive to exercise the strictest economy consistent with ef fectiveness in the work, we nave in formation that an Increase of its an nual income is now essential for its maintenance even up to Its present standard of efficiency.

Friday night March 18th was the time set for the public debate between Alexis and the High Shoals Literary Socie ty. We made very elaborate prepar atlon to entertain the boys, but we were greatly disappointed just at the last moment to hear thaj they had backed down. We do not know why, but maybe they were a little nervous and afraid to meet us. We consider it a complete victory nevertheless. 6ince everybody was expecting a good time we met some of our home boys and bad a lively debate: Query "Resolved that women should have the rjght of suffrage in the United States." The affirmative won the question. Now, we hope the Alexis boys will pick up enough courage to meet us at some other time.
