L Doughton Tells Interesting Anecdotes In Career Of Ninth Dis trict Congressman, Native Of Alleghany County Friends of Congressman R. L. Doughton in Alleghany county will probably be interested in learning that TIME, a nationally known weekly news magazine in its issue of April 30, do<etej honor to the veteran North Caro lina ninth district congressman, who is known and loved, not only in his native state, but through out the entire country. The news magazine has a head picture of “Farmer Bob” on its cover and devotes much space on the inside in describing this, veteran of Con gress who is now chairman of the powerful' Ways and Means committee of the national House of Representatives. The maga zine says: “Every time the chairman of the ways and means committee visits the White House, President Roosevelt asks after Mrs. Rebecca Doughton (nee Jones). On her last birthday she was 97 and the President sent her his greetings. She lives at Laurel Springs, in Alleghany county, on the hills of Western North Carolina ten miles from the Virginia border. Seventy years ago last November—it was four months after the Battle of Gettysburg—she bore a son at Laurel Springs and named him Robert Lee Doughton. “Up in the hills where all the roads were the color of red bricks, Bob Doughton grew up to be a farmer, a breeder and trad er of horses. Taciturn like his people, his honest Scotch shrewd ness has often been underestimat ed. Some years ago he sold by mail, to a man whom he had nev er met, a pair of bay horses cost ing $750. After the horses were shipped the purchaser complained that they were not as good aS represented and failed to send a check. One day Doughton ap peared unannounced at the pur chaser’s farm and asked whether he had any horses to sell. Sever al fine pairs were trotted out for his inspection and finally the bays. “How much are these?” Dough ton asked, carelessly whittling a stick. “$800 and cheap at that. They haven’t got a blemish.” “Sure of that?” “Yessir! Yessir!” “Well then, here’s my card-” The man looked at it care fully and then drawled: “Well, come inside, Mr. Doughton. I want to make out your check.” “In 1908 when Farmer Dough ton was 45 he went to the state legislature and began collecting political experience. Three years later he bought Deposit and Sav ings Bank of North Wilkesboro (capitalized at $50,000), and be gan collecting financial exper ience. In the past 30 years he has learned considerable about being a banker. Of the 439 banks in North Carolina in 1929 only 221 are alive today, but his is one of them and he is still' its president. Doughton was 48 and Presi dent Taft was getting ready to campaign for re-election when he went to Congress. The manners of the Carolina hills were written on him when he arrived in Wash ington. Even the manager of his small hotel, sensing it, pop ped into his room and demanded: “Is there anything that I can do for you, Mr. Congressman?” Doughton did not miss the super cilious note. He was letting down his baggy trousers^ but he NOTICE OF SALE We will on Saturday, 12th day of May, 1934, at 1 o’clock P. M. at the residence of W. G.

Good night.” “Twenty-three years, in Con gress have aged -but not altered him greatly. . . When he stepped into the ways and means chair manship, Republicans groaned. They said Doughton had no soc ial graces or imagination, that he neither drank nor smoked, that he rose at 6 in the morning and went to bed every night at 9, that he was absolutely impervious to influence. They said? “He has no friends. He is absolutely colorless. He is dumb.” “As ways and means chairman Doughton proved not brilliant but thorough and quite impervious to influence. He reported out the new liquor tax law, the bill for renewing the life of RFC, the reciprocal tariff bill, the tax bill and got them all passed by the House in the form in which the administration wanted them.” Marriages MURPHY—WAGONER Buster Murphy and Miss Nel lie Wagoner, both of Eunice, were united in marriage in Galax, Va., on Saturday, April 28.

Wife and Children Cannon And His Former Secretary Acquitted By Jury Churchman Leaves Friday Night To Attend Metho dist General Church Con ference In Mississippi Washington, April 30. — The jury in District of Columbia Su preme Court, which has been hear ing the evidence in the case against Bishop James Cannon, Jr., and his former secretary, Miss Ada Burroughs, charged with con spiring to violate the corrupt practices act by failing to report all of the anti-Smith contributions in the 1928 presidential cam paign returned a verdict Friday of “not guilty.” The trial had been in progress for about three weeks and attracted wide attention. After three hours of deliber ations, during which the jury took four ballots, it brought to the bishop, sitting tensely forward on the edge of his chair, and Miss Burroughs, standing stiffly grasping a table, an acquittal on both counts of the indictment against them. On the first ballot, the jury voted nine innocent, one guilty of wilfully violating the corrupt prac tices act and two unwilfully but unlawfully violating. The second ballot found ten voting to ac quit and two that the funds were unwilfully not reported. The third ballot was eleven to one for acquittal. As ms friends and newspaper men crowded about his chair in the courtroom, the bishop waved aside immediate comment. He said that later “after I take a nap” he would have a statement. Miss Burroughs, too, preferred to remain silent, but she smiled when women pushed through the crowd to shake her hand or touch her arm and congratulate her. There was little demonstration at the verdict. A few hand clasps rippled through the hum ■of voices, but sharp shouts of “quiet” from marshals halted this.

Mrs. Chas. W. Webb, Indio, Calif. You’re The Loser WHEN you allow Headache, Neuralgia, Muscular, Rheumatic, Sciatic or Periodic Pams to keep you from work or pleasure. You can’t go places and do things when you are suffering—and the work or good times won’t wait for you. Why allow Pain to rob you of Health, Friends, Happiness, Money? DR. MILES ANTI-PAIN PILLS have been used for the relief of pain for more than forty years. They taste good, act quickly, do not upset the stomach, nor cause constipation, leave no dull, depressed feeling. Thousands have used them for twenty, thirty, forty years, and still find that nothing else relieves pain so promptly and effectively. Why don’t you try them? Once you know how pleasant they are to take, how quickly and effectively they relieve, you won’t want to go back to disagreeable, slow acting medi cines. You too may find quick relief. Why wait forty minutes for relief when Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills will relieve you in ten to twenty minutes? that equalled Dt As a household remedy 1 have never found anything t _ Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
