■ D «» Sir:i s a Boy -has be«n out of town for

several weoks and would have written you long-, before now,, but’ owing to this cauHf, ho did not have time-

The Boy has spent a greater part of his time in a city where the-neces-

• s a y attention is given to- the boys, so 1 wish to recall to you a few

> things that I-think. should be provid- .cd for through this boy or£;imZ£iiori.

' An arrangement ■ should be made whereby’ the boys and yotmg men of our town, and o£_ every other town,

* should be given an- opportunity to <jiseuss the.great theory--and practice cf tounicspal government in aU its relations to industrial, moral and Clu-istian life. It should be the ara-

- bitiou of every true Christian person to so educate himself, that religion is a .thifcg that can wear shoes, hats, cc-ats, skirts and trousers as well as locking it up in some Sectarian Church from Sunday tcf Sunday, and then expend it only in z. few Sunday handshakes that are never practiced on any- other day -in the week. I- do ao. mean to say by. this, that the church is not essential because £ be­lieve it should have first place in everything, but so far, my observa­tion has been that true religion is not separated from -the person that has it in any of his practices in every oay life.' My or.ly ambition in this matter is that we Blight train our young: men for citizenship that they icpuld mtceessfully ar.d intellectually dfaeuss and handle the various prob- 5amsS»f daily experinece. -

to Cowt.Announcement was made at the

Philadelphia Stock Exchange about noon yesterday of the saspe-nsion cf Cramjp, Mitchell & Co. It was known on Saturday that the Arm was ip fi­nancial difficulties and that aa effort was being made to satisfy {pressing claims, that insolvency might be avoided. 'Adequate relief Was not pro­vided and upon the petition of three small creditors. Judge Thompson, o t the United States District Court, ap­pointed Charles S. W. Packard, pres­ident of the Pennsylvania Company for Insurance on Lives and Granting Annuities, receiver; fixing the bond at $30,000.

The petitioning creditors are John Webster, 119 North Seventeenth Street., whosec laira is $132.99; 'Wil­liam W. Brtom, 1539 North Twenty- Ninth Street, to whoro is due $545.59, and Charles A. McCauley, M< D., of Gladwynne whose claim amounts to $191.62.

In tbe petition the liabilities are placed at $3,600,000 and the assets at S3,100,000, the quick assets not exceeding $25,000. One of the cred­itors figured out that if the assets realized the larger amount and all creditors shared alike, the receiver would be able to pay eighty-six cents on the dollar, but it was remarked

sets do. Moreover, the banks and trust companies which have loaned funds to the firm and hold as secur­ities stocks and bonds bought on mar­gin by the firm for customers have a claim upon such securities ahead of the customers, who only hove an equity in the bonds and stacks, not having paid in full for them. This condition is well understood by the customers, %vho fear that their pros­pects are not encouraging.

As to the cause of the failure neith­er the members of the firm, Thomas Wiison Bayard, of John G. Johnson’s office, their attorney, nor the receiv­er were prepared to talk. In finan­cial circles it is said the failure was precipitated by a oJaim which was pressed by the executor of the White estate, of Cincinnati.

Mrs. Cramp, who was Mill Alice White, is reputed to have inhevved $4,000,000 upon the death of her fath­er. some years ago, in Cincinnati, and an equal amount from her mother, who died in the same city not long ago . It is said thst other heirs were pressing for the payment of estate funds loaned to the firm and#tha? in­ability to meet this payment brought, about the suspension.

One of the investments reputed to have ti:'d up the funds of the firm is an interest in the bonds and stock of the Standard Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, of Bristol. About a year ago this company appealed to

'j i ts shareholders to buy .$259,000 of j bonds and to take a $54,000 of pre- j?e;r?d stock at par, with a fifty per­cent, bonus of common stock. Sales of the stock of this company at auc­tion have shown a depreciation in value and it is said that Cramp, Mitchell & Co., have been unable to release capital tic-d up in this con­cern.

In New York it was said that vno firms there would be embarrassed

by the failure.

that prevails in the Senate and House may be ‘.he calm befGre the SLorm.

The serious question in the minds of Senators on the Foreign Relations Commissee is: “How Far Has Secre­tary Bryan Gone to Avoid War?” There is a fear that he has offered to mediate a matter of “National honor.” Should it liecorae known that he had overstepped what are considered the bounds of propriety in submitting the interests of this country to mediation there would be a great outburst of disaproval in the Senate.

Secretary Bryan has become ob­sessed with the desire for peace—in; ternational peace. His “breathing spell treaties,” which would delay war a year, if we approached the brink of troubie with Nations agreeing to such treaties, has taken firm hold on him. Congressmen wlio are waiting —patiently waiting and hoping—to see what will become of the media­tion program are afraid that Mr. Bry­an may permit our country to slip into a position where its entire dealings with Huerta and Carranza and Villa will be reviewed by mediators who would not hisitate to find, of the facts justified them, that the United States had been ali wrong all along and had gone toe far a t Tampico and Vera Cruz.

Major Stedman, the only North Carolina congressman on the Foreign Affairs Committee, thinks that the President “has been right all along, in not recognizing Huerta, in occupying Vera Cruz and in accepting the prop-

ASBESTOS CONCERN'S TROU­BLES.

In financial circles the opinion js held that the firm's embarrassment is due partly to its connection with he launching of the Amalgamated As-

beston Corporation, Ltd., a Canadian Company, in 1910. The firm was as­sociated with Kitcat & Aiken, of Jton.- day, in the sale of $7,103,000 of the five per cent, first mortgage thirty- year bonds of .that corporation. B^th Mr. Cramp and Mr. Mitchell were members of the directorate. The banking houses sold a numhe^of the bonds, but before the issue was mar­keted there came a slump in the fi­nancial markets and if was believed that the bankers had left on their hands a large block of the securities.

TheA malgemated Asbestos Cor­poration, Ltd., defaulted in payment of its December 1, 1911, interest, and committees were formed to u present Canadian, American and British bondholders. In the reorganisation* the Asbestos Corporation of Canada, Ltd., was formed. The plan of le- organization wiped out the old pre­ferred and common stocks. Before the plan was agreed upon, or, in Feb. 1913, IX Stuart Robinson, acting in behalf of Cramp, Mitchell & Shober, the style of the firm then, made s strong plea in behalf of the preferr­ed stockholders of the old company at a meeting of the bondholders. At that time Mr. Robinson said that $1,654,000 of the bonds was held by Philadelphia interests, and that six- .ty-eight per cent, of the bondholders were owners of the preferred stock, the balance being sold to outsiders. er3.

The plan of reorganization compris­ed in exchange of the old bonds for securities of the present company.

‘I have not been to the offices of Cramp, Mitchell & Co.; so I am cot ye t in a position to say anything," Mr. Packard commendted. -,I sup- jjcsi a schedule of assets and liabil­ities is being made ar.d will be pub­lished as soon as posibis.

FAIR EXCHANGE.

New Back Fcr An Old One. How it Can be Done in Burlington.

The back that aches a t times with a dull, irdeseribabte feeling, making yon weary and restless; piercing pau& shoot across the region of the kid­neys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster tc the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Burlington residents would do well to profit by the follow­ing example.

J. 3 . Andrews, 802 W. Main St., Durham. N. C.., says: “My back ach­ed for a long time and when I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I got a sup­ply. They proved to be the re.nedy i needed and since using them, I.have had no serious trouble. I have recom­mended Doan’s Kidney Pills on previ­ous occasions and at this time, I cheerfully do so again. I consider them the best kidney medicine to be had.”

The above is not an isolated case. Mr. Andrews is only one of many in this vicinity who have gratefully en­dorsed Doan’s. If yorn* back aches— if your kidneys bother yon, don’t sim­ply ask for a kidney remedjj—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mr. Andrews had. 50<* all stores.

An affidavit introduced by the State today from Anna Maude Carter,'a ne­gro woman, charged that she had been approached by an unknown person in the county jail and asked to put poi­son in the food of James Conley, the negro factory sweeper.

Conley was the chief 'witness against Frank and was convicted as an accessory after the murder.

of February 24.Salisbury, May 6.—Convicted of the

murder cf L. Preston Lyerly, a mer­chant at Barber Junction, on the night of February 24, Sid Finger, ne­gro, was today sentenced by Judge \ \ \ F.

Smiihdcal, of winch he was manager.

Finger was plated on trial early today and the evidence way concluded, shortly before noon. The defendant did not take the stand. The jury was out in deliberation only o short time and'when a verdict of guilty was re- j turned Judge Ilarding acted prompt­ly in naming the date for electrocu­tion. j

In tho prosecution Solicitor Hayden Clarrteiit was assisted by Dr. L. H. Clement, while appearing for the de­fense were P. S. Carlton and S. IL Wiley.- appointed by the court. The sentence meets with the general ap­proval. Sheriff MacKenzie, Deputy Frank Tolbert, J. Frank Miller and other local • officers who worked hard on the case feel greatly relieved* Deputy Insurance Commissioner W. A. Scott, of Greensboro, was untiring i* the interest taken in running down Finger after the murder and burning of the store.

The Cure for Spring Fever.Spring fever is a stem reality. It

is not a joke, by any means. I t has its basis deep seated in the change to which the body and the blood pressure must adjust themselves on account of the change from cold to warm weath­er. I t is scarcely- necessary to ex­plain the how and the why. Space forbids. Th* doctors teU us that it i3 so, and we know if already, so that is enough.

What you and I want to know is this. What shall wa do about it; Shall we load up.'on bitters, sarsapa­rilla , blood purifiers, liver regula­tors, appetisers, and tonics of every conceivable kind. . No, that is the very thing you don’t want to do. If the appetite.seems balky, if nothing tastes good, and if you have that tired, achy ia2y feeling, her*? is the secret. Obey your impulse; take ii- easy for a few days. Don’t coax the appetite. Diet­ing a little, or going on a “hunger strike” for a meal or two at a time now and then is better than all the sarsaparillas, tonics and appetizers in town. Don’t , worry—you will not starve. When you really need nour­ishment, your appetite wil! return. And when the appetite does return, don’t take advantage of it and tank up on heavy winter fooc’s. You don’t need so much heat -producing food ns you did in January. What you really.need is food.with lots of bulk and little energy—laxative foods, in »other words. Cut oat the meat;*, fats,

coming addresses and responses, the return cl a captured battle bag to a delegation of Ohio Union .Veteran?, were features of the formal opening today of the United Confederate Vet­eran’s 24th annual reunion. Bright weather prevailed throughout the day and thousands of visitors poured into the city to participate in and witness the reunion.

No feature of thc day surpassed the : simple ceremonies attending the pre­sentation tonight of a 76th.Ohio bat-, tie bag to personal representatives o f.' Governor James H. Cox, cf Ohio, by Co!. D. M. Scott, Commander of Camp Jones, United Confederate Veterans, of Alabama, and Mis. T, R. Leigh, of Montgomery. . The flag was captured by the First Arkansas Regiment of Confederate soldiers a t the battle of Ringold Gap in 1863 and later it was turned over to the Alabama, vete?^ ans.

Governor Cox sent George F. Bur­ba, of Columbus, Ohio, and- a delega­tion of five Union veterans to receive the flag. In the latter which they' brought from the Governor of Ohio an invitation was extended to the Confederate Veterans to hoid their next annual reuntori on the State House grounds at Columbus.

The Court’b action was taken im­mediately after the conclusion of ar­guments by attorneys for the defense, which followed the completion of evi­dence introduced by the defense and the State. Judge Hill indicated that

(he did not care^ to hear arguments from the State’s counsel.

News of the latest reverse was tak­en immediately to Frank, Who is con­fined in the county jail awaiting final action in his case, which has been in the courts for n\*re than a year. His wife was with him- a t the time.

vision* Le$ us remember that it was riot measures but men—E-President Taft and Ex-Presidenjt Roosevelt—

And defeated the Re • publican party. Tn policies and prin­ciples there is virtually no difference between a Republican and a Progress­ive. The Republican National Com­mittee, by their proposed revised plau. oi representation have removed the “bbhe of contention” which .m^de all the trouble at the Chicago Conven­tion. Why keep tip the division?-It remains for the leaders as well as the rank and file and all who believe in Republican policies^to join hands and sweep the country. To do otherwise means continued victoiy to Democrats. We are riot dealing with the past. That is history. The only legitimate way that the difference at Chicago can be adjusted has been proposed in the re-apportionment suggested. The effort to adjust the'Chicago di­vision by the creating of a Hew party has been tried and failed. Tha future is before us and our success or de­feat depends on the wisdom with which it is handled. It is for Republi­cans and Progressives to decide ar.d it should not take long to. do so. The name Republican and all it im­plies, cannot die. An adjunct can d» it no harm. Republican Progressive party or some such name could not be objectionable when policies are the the between the two elements and i)eniocruey is the common political enemy. Therefore lot every effort be directed toward unity unfe? har­mony. There-can be no success with­out it. The continuance of the spirit'

division can accomplish bv?t one thing, and that is defeat and this no Republican nor Progressive should de- j ire. Success is the wish of the* rank

WILSOS-M'ADOO WEDDING.

William G. McAdoo Claims Eleanor B ifte lp h Wilson in Simple

\ ' Cearemony.Washington, May 7.—Miss Eleanor

Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter of • the" President and Mrs. • Wilson, tonight became the bride Of William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treas­ury, in the historic Blue Room of the White House.

Less than 100 persons and but few officials heard the voice of Rev. S. W. Beach, of the First Presbyterian church of Princeton, as he united the two in marriage.

SAMPLE AMERICAN MARRIAGE._It was a simple ceremony. Forthe President and Mrs. Wilson it was a touching moment, as they gave away a daughter .foe the second time within a year. Aroup.d them stood their rel­atives and friends, a smaii group— for it was a family affair—much the s&riiejijnd of home wedding one would see in any American household— though the historic interior of the White House wiih its mosses of lilies and ferns, the uniformed aides, and ih* presence »f members of 4.he cab­inet and the vice president preserved for the function xn official aspect,

FUNCTIONS OVER IN TWO HOURSIt was in contrast, nevertheless, to

the wedding of Inst November. There v.ere no uniformed diplomats, no members of the Senate or !3ou.-e or the .Supreme < '/.■■n t. Thi.s was ihe wish of -.he bride nnd if room, carried out io the letter except for uii after­noon of gayety among the yousif: folks the day anil evening moved along quietly and quickly. The ceremony started at six o’clock sharp, and last­ed but fifteen minutes. The reception was brief, the wedding supper was followed by a brief dance, and at eight o'clock the bride and trroom had left, all the wedding- guests had departed and the White House resumed its nor­mal appearance, tinerrujited but a few hours.

SOCIETY (IAS NO HAND.All day long there had been busy

preparations, but official Washington nnd the society of the National Capi­ta l had no part in the affair. Most of the guests wire intimate friends of the family from other cities. Sec­retary McAdoo gave a luncheon to his colleagues in the Cabinet, attend­ed also by Dr. Carey T. Grayson, U. S. N., his best man; Secretary Tumul­ty and Vice President Marshall,

The President and Mrs. Wilson mo­tored with their three daughters. During- the early evening small crowds peered through the fences and iron gates but saw only the procession of carriages anji automobiles a# they brought guests or took them away.

There was hush of silence as the cter- gynuu) entered slowly from the main corridor and ascendsd tbe little altar with Its predieu covered with white satin. The Marine Band struck up the wedding march. Miss Sallie McAdoo, tO-y&ars old- daughter of tite Secre­tary, led the procession as a flower girl, followed by ^ rs . Franois Bowes Sayra, sister of tho bride and matron of honor, and Miss Margaret Wilson, eldest daughter of the President, as Dtaid of honor.

They wil! be away on their wed­ding trip about two weeks and will not go abroad as has ben reported. The Secretary expects to keep in close touch with the work of his of­fice.

Para, Brazil, May B.^Col. Theo­dore Roosevelt, in an. interview, with the Associated Pre&s yesterday onboard the steamer Dunstan, on which ne had ju s t. arrived from iSanaoa, gave' many interesting detsilii of his iiploring trip. throueW tJie wilds of Brazil. . He said: .^v.

“The expedition bas proved a sig­nal success/ It wasTundertateh orig­inally for the American Museum of Natural History.

“During our trip George K. Cherry and Leo C. Miller, the naturalists, collected more than 2,100 birds and mammals, reptiles and bachtricians and fish, chiefly from regions not hitherto traversed by aiiy collector and many species hitherto unknown to science. '

“Tfce most important part of our trip was geographical. In the explo­ration of an unkno\rn-i;iver, we have pai on i-.e- niap a river nearly 1,000 miles long, the existence of which is not hinted at ori- published maps. The upper part- cf its bourse was utterly ur.Ui'iOWr. io anybody except the wild ii;,iiar-,:; it? l:ank;., V.'!'.i!e thelower part was known to a_fcw rubber

only."Ihe river takes its rise in the

hijrh iiplands of the western part of the State of Mattogresso, just r.orth of the 13tU parallel of south latitude and between longitude 50 and 60 west of Greenwich.

“We embarked in latitude 12 de­grees 25 minutes. The river ran with many .de.ublinss; anti twistings', al- liibst due north, into the river Ma- deria, where its entrance was at about 5 degrees, 3$ minutes south latitude.

“We were GO days in canoes. In latitude sc'ver. despree? south, we pass­ed the last rapids ;-.nel reached the steamer when we were- but S6 hours from Mnnacsi

“In latitude 10 degrees, 53 minutes sjuth we struck the mouth of a bi.? affluent, flev.ing frow tbe right ar.d latitude !> degrees 4? minutes south, eve earns to the mouth of another •'ie- afthifiit, flowing from the left.

Duviad river, in poirit of volume,like the Khor.o, the Elbe,, er the

Iiud.-'v, out is too much oi-oleeii up by iupids t-j be navigable, except in the l-.'.wor parts. In about 7 de<p-ees oO miuuies south latitude, it joins anoth­er rivet’, practically the same size iu-ving from the rijrfct.

“From about 11 degrees IS tnii.Jtes o 19 decrees -IS oiir.ute:; soutli lati-

imie the course of the Duviad is al- ;;iost an unbrolrei; series of rapids, here being no clear day’s fun with

rapids. This was the- hard jn r t of our journey.

“Two sets of rapids were at the ■ovtt.ni of canyons where the river isjve its way threujrh mnur.tain

chains."OT the s?eei. eanoes with which

\v-‘ started five wove lost ill the rapids. One of our Weil was drowned and :wo oihers, including Kermil, narrow­ly eseai’ed de-aih by urownin?-.

“ Uiider tiie- strain cr;e man went nad. He finally murdered one of his

13 Survivors of Ship Picked Up.On board the Steamer Franconia

via Sabie Island, N. S., May Ii.— Thirteen survivors of the Biitish steamer Columbian, bound from Ant- wer pfiir New York, which caught iiee at sea Sunday night, tvere pick­ed up today by the Cunard Franconia, bound from Liverpool for Boston. In the boat with the survivors was the body of the chief steward, Matthews.

Another boat, containing the chief and second officer and seventeen men was still adrift. The Franconia cruis­ed i<i search.

Those aboard the Franconia are:James Brohan, wireless operator;

Antone Elas, carpenter; Ivar Iver­son, boatswain’s mate; Unguse Prir.ze, Jens Jensen, A. Abelnick, quartermaster; Gustav Schriborm, donker man; Thomas .Gonnor, Juri Lei, and Arthur Brantib able seamen: An­ton Corden.<2 and Benifett Rother, firemen; and Frank Wedekind, mess room steward.

The survivors' suffered terribly during 40 hours exposure in open boat. Their condition was so grave that it was impossible t.o get their s«.ory several hours after th^y were picked up.

The Columbian caught fire Sunday when 300 miles south cf Cape Race. Captain IfoDonald cVdcred the wire­less operator, James Drohan, to send out calls for assistance, but a series of explosions put the wireless oat of commission. It soon became evident that the crew could not control the fire and the order to abaudon the ship was given. The men left the Columbian In two boaU. Chief Stew­ard Matthews was in chaige of the first boat. This boat put away from the steamer and lay-to for a time, but the dense smoke that surrounded the burning vessel, the other boat was not visible through it, and the stew­ard’s boat finally drifted far from the Scene.

OPEN MINOS OF WOMEN / “The best thing about giving wo- ; men the ballot, I find, is that it opens

j I the minds of women and makes them take an interest in public affairs, something'MMy have not. dona here­tofore. Women thought of too few thhsgs and not enough of the im­portant matters that were going on around them.

“'T h e women of Illinois surprised the men in their voting. I heard two o r ' three men talking about it and they said it had taken the men ten years to learn how to vote the Aus­tralian ballot and yet the women who had only been- granted the franchise wltbin the year, knew all about it qjid were able to vote as well as the ijiien:

For~‘instance, towns voted for licenses or 'Wet,' as it was called when it was supposed that the women Yould vote thes aloons. out of busi­ness. But the matter seemed to be settled upon business lines to some extent. Business men told their wives and women voters generally that to vote a city dry, such as Springfield, would probably result in driving out business and closing up hotels, busi

■iess houses and possibly to the ex- j ,H n t of causing the removal of the | State capitol from the city. This had

great deal of influence because thc omen did net want the business of ie husbands disturbed or ruined.

SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS.“There was another development

on this line which was interesting at the time. Women were told by their husbands that if by their votes they clsscd up business that they, the men would not feel the necessity of sup porting them and that the women *ould not support themselves. I do jaot know how »cuc!i influence this 'had in the voting of the women, but these were some of the arguments we heard used at this the first election where we have had the ballot.

"But such things are oniy interest­ing as having happened and do not have any bearing upon the rights of women to vote. It ia not a question of what wlli influence w#men in cast­ing their votes. If they vote for what they believe is to the interest of their families and themselves, that is their right. I t is no argument against suffrage to say that women have been influenced to vote because it will help the interests of their fcus- l^nds. Men have been toting that way all the time, and we all know that business affscte the ballot more than an? other one cause, unless it -is when a wave of patriotism sweeps ov­er the country.

“The vote in Illinois, whatever may be jSaid about it, has shown that the women know how to vote and that tk#y can vote, and farther, that there is not going to be any great upheav­al by reason of- women voting. Such reforms as they desire will be brought about gradually which is the way to accomplish successful reforms. On t&e first test t'ne women voters of Il­linois have vindicated tiij action of the legislation in giving us ths fran­chise.”

Farmers and Credit.The North Carolina farmer as a

class is today an ineffective user of credit. . ^

This is in part due to his own fault and ip part due to the lack of a banking, facility f.’hiiA his own pa- euliar business aemahds.

In the counties of the northeastern section of the state the range of time purchases by farmers is from 95 to 20 per cent, of the total purchases made by the landowning and landless farmers. A fair average will prob­ably approximate 60 per cent.

In the counties from the middle part of the State to Buncombe and along the North Carolina-South Caro­lina border, the range is from 80 to go per cent., with a possible average of 45 to 50 per cent. .

The tenant farmer, of all classes, is the largest user of his (store) form of credit. -

The cost of- store .credit is from -12 to 20 per cent, per annum, as against that of bank credit of 6 to 8 per cent.

EsJimutes of the greater size of time prices as compared with cash prices paid by farmers and tenants cover the wide range of from 3 to 33 per cent.; the a%*erage is perhaps 12 per cent for six to eight' months, or say, 20 par cent, a year.

These are some of the conclusions reached by investigators under the auspices of the r" organization ser­vice of the Uni ;tates Department of Agriculture, ihe larger part of the work was done by Dr. Charles L. Raper, professor of economics in the University of North Carolina, and Prof. William R. Camp, of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. While the investigation has not covered every county in the State it has covered a sufficient number in every section to make its findings fairly representative of the conditions. The facts as to credit eondition-s in this and other States have been tab­ulated and studied a t Washington, and a digec of them is now obtainable.

In an article in the Current South Atlantic Quarterly Or. Raper gives some personal impressions-as to the use of credit by North Carolina farm­ers.

Tha serious feature he finds to be the high cost, of credit, which hears heaviest on the class the least able to afford it—the tenant farmer. “Our investigation proves," says Dr. Rapei', “with thc greatest clearness, that the tenant farmer of North Carolina— and as many as 42 per cent of the farms are operated not by the land­lord but by the tenant, a class of peo­ple deserving the best consideration that our minds and hearts have to give—had practically no power at any of the batiks of thc present type.”

The reasons for this are obvious. The tenant has practically none of such assets as are usually the- basis of cred'.t in the State and private banks, ar.d credit co-operation is all too rare amongst all of our agricul­tural class. Landlords seldom endorse for tenants, enabling them to get cheaper credit from the banks. Land- owtiers seldom ask the endorsement of one another; and the small landown­ers are as a rule slight-users of bank credit, and, consequently, large users of store credit. ' Their failure to make use of bank credit or tfceir in­capacity to obtain it are, Dr. Raper believes, “due in part to their lack of business knowledge or their dispo­sition to kep^aloof from their neigh­bor in matters of business. Many of then? do not really know the differ­ence between their time prices and their cash prices a t the store.”

The larger share of loans made by banks to farmers are found to be short time notes; an average of per­haps six or seven months—sufficient time, for the purpose of making a crop and holding it for market, but of course entirely too short for buying land, or improving it, or equipping it. I t was generally found that the banks in the smaller towns make more time loans’, on land, than those in the larger; and the author seems to ! doubt whether the farmers obtain from the banks as much credit of this type' as they need or apply for. - We should say that from Superficial ap­pearances they surely do not obtain as much as they could advantageous­ly use; for the expansion of farming operations, the improvement and the equipment of fjtrms, and flic change from tenant to landlord «fess are the matters of foremost economic import-

Campaign Expenses—Senator Simmons Withdraws Opposition to

Smith at'W ilson.Washington, May 5.—Senatpr Sim­

mons stated today tha t he would not further oppose the apipintment and confirmation of S. W, .Smith as post­master of. Wilson. The senior Sen­ator now understands that Smith wants the job permanently -and he has decided not to interfere in mat­er from now on.- .

Postmaster General Burleson made up his mind some days ago that if Smith w^s to be defeated it would have to be done in the Senate. He .stated that he intended to have the nomination sent to the Senate and then if any one desired to defeat thc nomination' there he had no objec tion.

It is said that Smith’s nomination may. go to the Senate tomorrow, cer tainly within a short time. >

8. L. Woodard, of Wilson, was here today. He conferred with Senator Simmons and then bought a bag of peanuts and went to Barrium and Bailey’s circus. “My visit, had not.il- ing to do with the Wilson postoffice controversy,” said Mr. Woodard, “I eame to Washington to see. the cir-CliS.”

J. Sherwood Upchurch, of Raleigh, and a couple of the secretary of the navy’s sons also attended the circus.

Expense accounts from Represen­tatives Page, Godwin and Gudger have been filed. Up to date Mr. Page has spent $12.50; Godwin $34.80 and Gudger $770.

Representative Pou today recom'- niended Robert H. Davis for post­master a t Louisbury. It is under­stood Davis is not objectionable to Senator Simmons and therefore no delay is expected in nomination.

R. W. Barnes and Joseph Bass, of Lucama, are here in the interest of McRae Boyd, who wants to be post master a t Lutfama.

The following fourth-class post­masters were named today: Almond, I. E. Conley; East Flat Rock, Perry H, Walker; Potecasi, Grady E. Park­er; Ramseur, Chas. G. Foushee; Sands, Charles G. Hodges; Zionvilie, James L. Wilson.

J. Elwood Cox, of High Point, stop­ped oc ia Washington today er> route home from Hot Springs and New York. Asked what he thought of the new Banking Law, Mr. Cox said lie believed it would eventually work out for the good of the peeple.

Under this, law the consignee is required to- sign his own name if he can write, and yet there are agents who have been known to deliver li­quor to consignees without requiring their signatures. This law requires also that the consignee must be known by the agent or identified by some one else as a bona fide consignee and yet some agents are delivering liquor with no other identification than the fact that the party "who comes for the liquor package shows a receipt from some post office that he has sent money to sorv ° liquor firm out of the St»te, r ' ■ ,n is no identification a t . all. ' ..us coma to me t^at some agents in the State are our worst blind tigers and the busi­ness is now largely shifting from near beer joints and drug stores to the ex­press office and freight, depots. Agents have been known to end numbers of money orders for liquor and after­wards furnish these receipts to par­ties who would come to the express office to receive the liquor.

Many of these agents are violat­ing the Federal penal code as wol! as the State law. Section No. 239 of this code, which became effective Jan. 1* 1910, reads os follows:
