Philippine Bill.

In the House the conference report
ON the Philippine civil government bill
was adopted by a strict party vote,
with the single exception Of Mr. Nc
Call of Massachusetts,, who voted with
the Democrats.
Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin, chairman
of the committee on insular affairs,
presented the conference report ON the
bill, as follows:
"There were three important points
of difference between the two houses,
namely, the provisions in the House
bill for legislature; another In relation
to lands, and another in relation to
coinage. The Senate recedes from its
disagreement to the provision for a
legislature and agrees TO 1t with an
amendment providing that within two
years after the census provided for In
the House bill has been completed, II,
in the meanwhile, a condition of gen.
eral peace and good order shall have
prevailed, the President shall order the
Philippine Commission to call a gen.
eral election for the choice Of delegates
to popular assembly of the people of
that portion of the islands not inhab-
tied by Moros and pagan tribes, which
shall be known as the Philippines As
sembly.
"As to the qualification Of voters, the
powers of the Assembly and of the
Legislature and the qualifications OF
the members Of the Assembly, the
Senate has agreed substantially to the
House provision. This also provides
for two commissioners to be elected by
the Legislature.
'"The Senate further recedes from its
disagreement to the provisions of the
House bill relating to public lands, and
agrees to an amendment requiring the
amount of land to be held by corpora
tions from 1000 hectares to 1924 hec-
tares. The Senate has further agreed
to the House provision restricting the
ownership and control by members Of
corporations of mining and agricul-
tural lands, with additional stringent
provisions limiting these holdings.
I'm the coinage provision reported
the 3enate recedes from Its provision
for the coinage of Philippine silver
dollar. and the House recedes from its
provision for tho establishment of Il
gold standard.
"The report agrees upon the proyis-
ion for subsidiary coins and minor
coins, the names being those of the
House bill, and substantially as pro-
vided In the House bill.
1.-THE provisions relating to banks are
eliminated from the bill.
1.-THE bill contains the Legislative lin
itations and bIll of rights complete, us
In the House bill.
".rhe mining provisions of the bill
are combination of the provisions Of
the mining features OF the two bills.
"Otherwlse. the bill reported does
not substantially differ from the bill
passed by the House."

WHY TT WAS ABANDONED.
Late Passenger Train of the @. & O.
Was UnprohtabIc

Was Improbable.
The late passenger train, leaving over
the Chesapeake and Ohio at 1880 P. NJ,
was taken from the schedule because it
was found not profitable. During the
summer an additional through train was
put on. this third train leaving Richmond
at o'clock in the evening. While three
through trains each day proved too many,
the new o'clock train proved so popular
that the officials decided to strike off
the late one. For this reason the 2:30 P.
NJ. train was changed to leave at P.
NJ, SO as not to run so close to the P.
NJ. fast train.
1t was said at the Chesapeake and Ohio
Offices that whenever the mails or pas
senger traffic warranted the placing of a
third train on the schedule it would again
be done, but during the winter months
such an addition is not probable.
While this 1880 train from Richmond
has been abandoned, it does not mean
that there is no through western train
from Washington late. There has been
no change of trains on the main branch
from northeastern cities, and special
train leaving here at 1920 would make
the same old connections at Gordons-
vile. It is Richmond, not Washington
and the other northern cities that suffer.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe, and
EHectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are full or bloa t.
ing sensation after eating. accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings
a formation Of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing. headaches, tickle appetite. nervous
ness and a general played-out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue. and if the interior Of the
stomach could be seen it would show q
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti.
nate trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessar;
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition Will
have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastass,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drugstores under the
name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ami

FARMvILLE, VA, October 7-(spe-

home here this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock,
in his SD year. The universal express
sion on the lips of our people is that in
the death of Mr.. Paulett Farmville has
lost one of her foremost citizens. both in
church and business affairs. Mr.. Paulett
was taken ill some weeks ago. and con-
tinue. to grow worse day by day until a
few days ago. when his condition be-
came so serious that all hope for his
recovery was abandoned by his physician.
and the family, which saw that death
was imminent and unavoidable.
Mr.. Paulett was born near Farmvi'.e
on June II. 1920, and in his boyhood days
his father moved to Appomattox County,
where the subject of this sketch lived I'M
til he became a. man. In 1910 he and Miss
Harriet Clark were married. They lived
happily until her death in 1884. Of the
children born to them now living are:
Mrs. j. F. Tribble. of Baltimore; Cap
tain Samuel W: Paulett OF Farmvlle:
Mrs. Judge J. NJ. Crute, Mrs. Charles
F., Bugg, and Mr.. Richard H. Paulett:
s In December. 1856, Mr.. Paulett again
married. his bride being Miss Sallie T..
Edmunds. of Prince Edward county, who
since that time has cared for him with
a 1enCerS deEotlOn t1at was touching, IN
deed.
In 1912 Mr.. Paulett came to Farmville
and engaged in the toba eco business, and
by his successful management of this,
together with a well-conducted commits
sion merchants business he amassed Il
considerable fortune. His large business
interests and long acquaintance through
out Southside Virginia probably brought
him in contact with more people than
any man who has ever lived in Farm
Vile
For many years he had been the presi-
dent Of the Planters Bank of Farmville
and that institution has grown steadily
until it now occupies a front rank in
banking circles of the country.
Up to the day on which Mr.. Paulett
was taken il! he had been as regular
in his attendance upon the sales of to-
bacco at the warehouses Of the town G.:
any member of the Tobacco Board and
likewise as alert and active as any one.
Probably no man in the tobacco bust.
ness was better known throughout the
State than Mr.. Paulett. The funeral will
take place Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
from the Methodist Episcopal church,
of which he was a lifelong and devoted
member.
