McAllister. having been appointed
to draft resolutions, submitted the
following, which were unanimously

Your committee recommend the
adoption of the following resolu

Resolved 1. That we realize the
great need of wider field for the
consumption of cotton goods, and
would urge our State a1d National
Associations to use their influence
towards the inducing of all fertili
zers, cotton-seed meal manufacturers.
wholesale and retail grocers manu-
facturers to use. as far as practical
BILE. cotton baos for the products in
stead of other materials: and that,
as far as possible, preference be
given to the purchase of such prod
ucts so covered.
2. That we respectfully call upon
our Senators and Representative in

in accordance with the rlans formu-
lated by our National Association.

Corn has good stands as a rule,
but bud and cut worms are thinning
stands on low-lands; some corn is
turning yellow from too much rain
Cotton planting is not finished in
the western parts, though practical
ly finished in the central and eastern
counties, except on bottom or low
lands that have been too wet recent
ly to plant. Stands vary greatly, be-
ing generally good for that planted
since the April killing frost, and very
poor for the early paintings, much
of which is being replanted. Some
being replanted on account of cut
worms, and some on account of being
too foul to rid of grass and weeds.
Some cotton has been chopped.
Tobacco transplanting is about fin
ished, and is doing well generally,
though grasshoprers and cut worms
have damaged stands locally.
There has been a marked improve
ment in oats, which is quite promis
ing. Wheat is not doing so we'll on
account of the Hessian fly and some
rust. Truck crops and gardens have
improved rapidly, though melons are
still poor. The weather was favor
able for rice. Peaches are dropping
in the eastern and southern counties
with enough left to make a good
crop; in the western counties the
frult prospects are very poor; apple
and pear trees are blighting badly.
Pastures are fine. The shipments of
beans, peas and strawberries are
heavy.

informs me that over half OF Gull
ford County would then enjoy the
advantages of a special local school
tax. Already twenty-six districts
have voted a special tax. An cleo

in June, at which $4,000 of bonds
will probably be voted for a high
school building.

NORTH cAROLINA'S EDUCATIONAL

working value that may be styled
strictly commercial, or professional,
since out of a full store-house of
garnered threads of thoughts and

residuum or afterglow, which makes
the web and woof of other things,
even local, common events. If 1t
we're not for a Providential order

the mass of details of work-a-day
matters, retaining this residuum for
growth and ripened wisdom, there be

In this initial letter it strikes me
that some facts about education

Education by Corporation.

has been carried on constantly and
aggressively for the past few years
has resulted in much educational
progress. Friends of the move, ,ent

WALTER VAUGHAN MORGAN WAS
INDICTED INTO HIGH OF.
FlCE TODAY.
Great Feature Was Parade of the Cor
porstions and Guilds Through
the Principal Streets.

LONDON, Nov 9-Walter Vaughan
Morgan, London's new lord mayor, was
| today invested in the customary man
ner with all the pomp and ceremony
which has accompanied such an event
for centuries. The great feature of the
| Inauguration was the parade of the
corporation and the guilds through the
main streets of the city. The streets
through which the parade moved were
lined with many thousands Of people
and handsomely decorated with tri-
umphal arches, flags and bunting, be-
sides a number of magnificent floats
representing historical episodes and the
development of the metropolis. the
parade included a large number of
representatives of the municipal cor
poration, of the various guilds, soldiers
sailors, firemen, constables, artillery
and city companies, all accompanied
by bands of music. When the process
sion reached the law courts, the lord
mayor, in his full civic robes, preceded
by the recorder and attended by the
retiring lord mayor, the sheriffs, the
mace bearer the sword bearer, chap
lain and the aldermen in their sable
trimmed gowns, together with other
civic functionaries, proceeded to the
court of the lord chief justice, where
they were received by the judges, at
tired in scarlet robes, full bottomed
wigs and cooked hats. There the usual
solemn courtesies were exchanged, the
lord mayor, in accordance with GUS
tom, remaining covered while the re-
corder read an eulogistic review of the
mayors past life. From there the pro-
cession moved to the court of appeals,
where the new lord mayor was re-
ceived by the master Of rolls and the
appeal judges, dressed in their robes
of black and gold. Then the dignita-
ries returned to their coaches and re-
sumed the procession through the city.
The new lord mayor is a bachelor
and as he will be compelled to enter
tain a great deal in his new office, he
selected his niece Mrs. Horribly Steer,
the wife of clergyman, at present
vicar of St. Philips Lambath, to act
as Lady Mayoress.

out the Hanna ideas, which are dia-
metrically opposed to the Foraker
iders. And yet, divided as are the two

Fight in Idaho.
The two senators from Idaho are on
anything but friendly terms, PERSONAL
ly or politically. One is a democrat
the other republican. Naturally Sen
ator Hepburn will do his utmost to pre-
vent the reelection of Dubois, but
Dubois in the meantime has landed
some sledgehammer blows which will
hold down material obstacles which
Hepburn must overcome before he
himself can be returned. Hepburn
and Dubois profess to be personally
friendly, but it is all for effect. They
do not visit together; they do not
mingle; they are far apart. Dubois
might make terms, but Hepburn does
not want to, and his colleague is not
in an insisting mood.
There are other instances of similar
nature, but these are the most pro-
nounced. Meanwhile the senate derives
lots of amusement from the embarraSs-
ment of senators who are at outs with
their colleagues.

OUTLOOK is BAD.
Senate's Opposition Blocked Similar
Efforts-Trade Menaced.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-There is
little probability that a commercial
treaty can be arranged between the
United States and Germany before
the new German tariff becomes effec-
tive in March, 1905. This tariff will
almost prohibit the German importa-
ton of American goods. 1t is especi-
ally aimed against agricultural i'm
plements and other manufactures
which meet with large sales in Ger
many.
ciate the serious situation. The pres
ident and nearly all his cabinet favor
reciprocity treaties, not only with
Germany, but with many other coun-
tries The senate has taken a de-
cided stand against such treaties. The
Dingley tariff act authorized the ne
gotiatiOn of these conventions, and
more than thirty were arranged in the
past five years, but all were permitted
to expire in the senate without ACTION
A Futile Suggestion.
1t has been suggested that section
of the Dingley act, which permitted
the arrangement of reciprocity trea-
ties, should be re-enacted by congress,
thus enabling the president to meet
the German situation by another treaty
but it is unlikely that this will be
done A reciprocity treaty requires
the approval of the house in addition
to that of the senate. Sentiment in
both branches of congress is OPP
posed to such methods of lowering the
tariff This opposition will show it
self strongly next winter when tariff
! revisionists will ask for a modification
of schedules and for more reciprocity.
The president can do nothing in the
matter without the consent Of con-
cept the proposition advanced by Won
Buelow, that ten experts be appointed
| from each country to arrange treaty
but the fiaal ratification of such a
| treaty would rest with congress.
The return of Baron Won Sternberg
| with a statement of the basic prin-
ciples upon which treaty negotiations
can be conducted, will not materially
| improve the situation.
Root Not Ready to Act.
Secretary Root makes no conceal
ment of the fact that he is not ready
now to arrange treaty for submits
sion to congress. He desires to wait
until the senate convenes and an OPP
portunity is offered to swing the sena-
tors toward a treaty. He wishes tC
decide just how far he can go with a
reasonable prospect of ratification.
AS the matter stands, Ambassador
Won Sternberg must wait until De-
/ cember before much progress is made
in negotiating new commercial
treaty. The chances of it's approva
by the senate, when completed are re-
mote.
1t is expected the president will
make strong recommendations on thi:
subject in his annual message. Il
was the previous policy of congress tt
ignore his suggestions.

limited STATES SENATORS WHO
HAVE DIFFERENCES ON MANY
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS.
Politics Not Always Responsible for
Personal Enemity Existing Be-
tween Colleagues In Senate.

The clash during the last campaign
between Senator German and Senator
Raynor calls attention to the fact that
there will be several states represent
ed in the next senate by men who per-
sonally or politically disagree, is re-
port that comes from Washington city.
The estrangement between German and
Raynor dates back some years. They
have never agreed politically, though
fact that Raynor would never have
been elected if German could have
prevented it, but Raynor has a strong
following in Maryland, and was able
to overcome the opposition of German.
The Maryland senators will not work
together for the interests of the state:
they have few views in common, and
MARYLAND will suffer by reason of the
conflict between its senators, which is
as much personal as it is political.
Perhaps the most striking instance
of ill-feeling between the senators from
any one state is in Wisconsin. Spooner
and La Toilette will not mix any more
than oil and water. They are bitter
political enemies, and each harbors a
personal hatred of the other. Yet
both are republicans. Spooner is
against everything that La Toilette
wants, and vice versa. 1t is doubtful
if these two senators speak, but it will
not be the first time such a thing hap
pened.
For more than a year prior to his
retirement Senator Chandler Of New
| Hampshire did not speak to Senator
Gallinger, his colleague though truce
| was patched up towards the end-a
truce of Snort duration.
The intense feeling between Senator
| Tillman and his late colleague, Nc
Laurin reached such a state that Till
man openly struck McLaurin, Great
| ing one of the greatest sensations ever
witnessed on the floor of the senate.
Then there was the case of Senator
Mcbride and Senator Simon of Ore
gon. These senators never openly
clasned, but each had a knife out foI
the other, and there were frequent Sc
cret thrusts.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-11-09
Foster and Ankeny.

In the last congress the relations be-
tween Senator Foster and Senator
Ankeny were becoming quite strained,
but before the crisis was reached Sen
ator Foster retired.
One of the amusing cases of fric-
ton is the Ohio instance, where Fora
other politically, just as Hanna and
