For State Treasurer.

To the Editor: The Chatham county
delegation will ask the State convention
to nominate their county man, Henry A.
I .ondon for Treasurer. because of the
following reasons
/ Chatham is one of the Oldest and
largest counties in the State, and yet
no one of her citizens has ever been
elected to any office by the people of
North Carolina 1t is time that she
should have one of ner citizens elected
to a State office, especially when other
counties which have been frequently thus
honored are now again clai ming that
honor.
2. Chatham is the most Western cour.
~ that has a candidate for Treasurer, and
geographically is more entitled to the
nomination than the other counties claim
ing it.
3. Chatham presents the only candidate
for Treasurer, who is not now holding
an office. all the other candidates for
Treasurer now being office holders.
4. Chatham's candidate has never failed
to vote the straight Democratic ticket,
and to work actively in every campaign
for thirty three years and never before
has been a candidate for any nomina-
ton.
5. His pre- eminent fitness for Treas
urer is admitted by all who know him and
he is the candidate representing the DEM
ocratic editors of the State, who ask for
his nomination as a deserved recognition
of their invaluable services.
G. The only ground of objection that
any one has alleged against him is that
he is a lawyer as well as an editor This
should be in his favor, because the Treas
urer ought to be a learned lawyer in or
der to construe correctly the revenue and
machinery laws for the guidance of the
county officers. as required by law.

Especial to News and Observer

Washington. ID. c., April 9.-Represen-

the Agricultural Appropriation Bill made
five-minute speech. which was we'll re-

fit He approved the bill. He said, were

At the conclusion of his speech, Mr..
Small left for North Carolina. He will
return Wednesday in time to vote on the
Porto Rican Tariff Bill
The Democratic members of the North
Carolina delegation had fully expected to
attend the State convention on Wednes-
day and had made every preparation to
be there but the action of the Demo
cratic caucus last Saturday night caused
a change of program. In the opinion of
the North Carolina delegation they deem
it a sense of duty to remain here, and
be in their seats in the House on Wed
neSday to vote on the most important
piece of legislation of this Congress, j. g.
the Porto Rican tariff infamy, which, as
Representative KluttZ said today, may
determine the result of the coming Presi-
Dental campaign. 1t was stated this
evening that the Porto Rcan Tariff Bill
will be called up by the Republicans on
Wednesday and a vote ordered after sew
eral hours debate. Every Democrat who
has the party welfare at heart will surely
be here to vote against the bill, which is
in violation of the Presidents recommen-
dation for free trade with Porto Rico and
which was drawn according to the order
of the trust magnates.
Representative Kitchin, who is now in
North Carolina, has been telegraphed for.
He will be here "Wednesday.

ney from Salisbury. North Carolina, is in

An Epitaph That Failed.

A Louisville wit goes to church, or
did go to church, where a prominent
member of the congregation who had
pew close by used to slumber through
the entire service. When the text was
given out he nodded, and by the time
the pastor got a good start he was OBJ
livious of everything until the pastor
woke him up. After awhile the man
died, and one day shortly afterward
one of the friends of the family came
to the wit and said: "See here, old boy,
[ don't pretend to be smart and up-to-
date like you, but Blanks wife has sent
for me and asked me to arrange about
the inscription on her husbands mon
ument. She wants something short
and appropriate, and over this she is
going to have his name and the date Of
his birth and death. I'm the last per-
son in the world to undertake such a
job, so I thought you might help me
out" 'Why, with pleasure" said the
joker, and his grin should have warned
the caller, but it didn't. Taking out
pencil and notebook, the fiend wrote a
line or two and handed it over "See
how you like it," he said, and as the ap-
icant read the lines they ran as fol-
lows: George Blank, born, died
-" and then below "Asleep (as
usuaD." You can bet your dear, sweet
life that inscription was never shown
to the misunderstanding Times.

Slips of the Tongue,

It is an invariable rule that mem
bers of the house of commons must
address their remarks to the house
through the chair, and, though in the
flow of argument an orator is often al.
lowed, without remonstrance, to use
the second personal plural in admon-
ishing his opponents, the first words
are always addressed to the occupant
of the chair. This, like many other
rules of debate, has percolated from
the house of commons down to all our
minor assemblies, and the consequence
is that few members find any difficult
ty in complying with the custom.
Not infrequently, however, ruling hab-
it's prevail, and a new member invol-
unfairly discloses the nature of the
assembly to which he has Deen accus-
toned. In a debate on the Irish land
bill in 1894, Mr.. Kenny, an Irish @. c.,
convulsed the house by addressing Mr..
Speaker as 'My lord" Mr.. Powell
Williams, in the same parliament,
saluted him as "Mr. Mayor" and an
effervescent Irishman, Mr.. Bodkin,
astonished the speaker by giving him
the dignity of 'Your reverence

FLOOD IN ROME.
Historic Tiber OverflOws It's Banks,
Causing Great Ruin-Three
Lives Are Lost

Rome, Dec. 3.-The Tiber has over
flowed it's banks, and the entire lower
part of the city is threatened. Three
lives have been lost in the flood, and
much damage is reported from the
country and from the district of the
city affected. The flood is caused by
the recent heavy rains, which have so
swollen the stream that the water
level has reached an unprecedented
height. The more elevated parts of
Rome are crowded with refugees who
were forced to abandon their inun-
dated homes. Most of the homeless
people belong to the poorer classes,
and few have been able to save any
of their belongings. Many landslips
have occurred along the railways,
blocking traffic. News from the rural
districts along the Tiber shows that
great damage has been done to farms
and cattle. The rise of the Tiber eX-
ceeds that of 1870, but the damage
has been limited by the recently con-
structed dikes at the lowest points,
The Pantheon and the Forum, the
neighboring streets, and part of the
Hospital San Spirito are inundated
The surrounding country and the
Protestant cemetery outside ST. Paul's
gate are also submerged. Railroad
service is greatly retarded.

modulated voice told the servant to tell
the gentleman Mr.. Folsom might not
return for several days. Burleigh had
no excuse to linger, none to ask TO hear

scended the steps it's accents were still
strangely ringing in his ears. Where

fore?
