hest shown by the fact that he was
elected treasurer of Wayne County
in 1898, when nothing more than q
boy, in 1901, was elected to the
legislature, which position he filled
with credit to himself and the county
which he represented, returning from
the legislature in the year 1901, he
was unanimously elected to the
Mayorality Of this city, and has sue
ceeded himself for three successive
terms, and there is no man in Colds
boro that could beat him for a fourth
term if he would allow his name to
go before the Convention. There is
40 better evidence than this, or more
Convincing argument, that he is uni
versally popular and highly esteemed
III his home town.
He has made a good Mayor and he
would make a good Congressman,
and the affairs of North Carolina
could not fall in better hands, for he
would be be representative Of ALL
THE PEOPLE.
In the recent prohibition election
in this city, he was foremost in the
fight, and to his untiring efforts in
this behalf was due in measure the
wonderful success achieved. In short
he will always be found on the side
of right, and working for the best
interest of all the people.
Mr.. Hood is what might be term
ed self-mad. man, his father dying
when he was only about 21 years of
age, and the success he has achieved
has been done by hard work and per-
severance. He is brim full of energy
and pluck and knows no fail.
We are not writing from hearsay,
we know whereof we speak, and for
this reason we t., ke pleasure in intro
ducing him to the people of old
Sampson county, and every other
county, INTERESTED, who are not al
ready acquainted with our young
friend, in order that they may have
some knowledge of the man whom
they will be asked to support as our
next Congressm III from this district.
Now, a word to your Correspon-
dent: If you are not acquainted with
our worthy young Mayor, you must
get an introduction to him, and when |
you learn him, and find him to be |
The true friend that he is, you will
1Ot hesitate to say, "Hurrah for |
Hood as the next Congressman from
his district"

pondent of the Sampson Democrat.
We are not a politician and have
no desire whatever to enter into a
newspaper controversy with your
correspondent, and accord him the
right that every American citizen is
justly entitled to, in expressing his
preference for the office of Congress-
man, or any other office for that mat
ter-but since he has set the pace
,hat is to say, brought the matter to
the attention Of the people of your
county-I think it incumbent upon
me, as personal friend Of Mr.. Hood
and as native Of old Sampson, to
let my people know something of the
personel Of the man whom they will
be asked to support at the next Con.
gressional Convention for this high
and important office.
Voc tho ro,nn Of Hon Gnorreo L
Hood will be presented at the next
Congressional Convention as a candi-
date for Congress from this district,
and in doing so his friends have no
apology to make, for he is in every
way worthy of, and competent to oc-
cupy the position, and if nominated
which is equivalent to election-he
would fill the Office with honor to
himself and with credit to old North
Carolina.
Now, L have no unkind word to
say against the present incumbent,
Hon. Chas. II. Thomas, or criticism
to make of his work; he has made
good Congressman, but he has had
the place long enough. There are
others to whom honor is due and
who are justly entitled to recognition
at the hands of the Democratic party,
and Hon. Geo. E. Hood, the worthy
and efficient young Mayor of the
City of Goldsboro, is one Of them. We
verify believe in rotation in office,
which is one Of the fundamental
principles of Democracy.
We venture the assertion that no
man in North Carolina, Of equal age,
is more widely known or universally
esteemed than George E. Hood. He
has spoken in almost every county in
the State, and the people always hon
Or his presence in their midst.
He is a young man of brilliant in
tellect, whom to know is both to love
and admire, and in whose bosom a
nobler heart never beat. Sympathe-
tic, kind-hearted, true to his friends,
who are numbered to the extent OF
his wide acquaintance, man who
gives literally and cheerfully of his
means, who is foremost in every
good work, in fact an ideal Christian
young gentleman.
At his home town, Goldsboro-
where he is best known he is uni
versally esteemed and admired, ano

STRONG WORDS AGAIN.
The Stigma Refuses to Stick to
Bailey.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Bailey again tolay took ne fl )or in
the Senate to make a further expla.
nation of his connection with the ef-
forts to secure an understanding be-
tween the President and the Demo
|cratic Senators on the railroad rate
bill, basing his Statement on an ar.
ticle in the Chicago Tribr e and the
New York Tribune, charging him
with bad fai in that connection,
and giving ex-senator Chandler as
authority for that statement. He had
read series of letters sa1 memo
randa beginning with d request from
himself to the former Senator Tor a
copy of anSstatement that he might
have made that justified this state
ment. This was followed by the
reading of the following letter from,
Mr.. ChandIe::
"Washington, D. c., May Is, 1906.
"Hon. J. ". Bailey, United States
Senator:
"Dear Sir: have your letter of
to-day and 1 enclose to you copy
of memorandum sent by me to the
White House on the morning of
Wednesday,, April 11lh. L think
the memorandum was net dated, but
my retained copy is dated April 11th.
L did not therein give the President
any assurance as to your attitude re-
lative to the so-called game, because
1 had not seen you and did not feel
authorized by anything AIr. Tillman
had then said to give any assurance
in your name. At 9:15 p. m. I saw
Mr.. Tillman and talked with him
fully, and he then told me that
neither he nor yourself were enter
ling into games with the railroad
senators; and at $3.50 saw the Pres
|ident and told him what Mr.. Till.
man had said and that he need
have no apprehension On the sub.
ject. I enclose to you copies from

AFTER seventy DAYS.
THE RATE BILL PASSED RY
II TO 3.
Morgan and Pettus, of
Ala bama and Senator Foraker,
of Ohio. When the Measure
Went Through There Was a
General Sigh of Relief.

WcSuluSGOu, mdy AO' HAAeSA So'
enty days of almost continuous de
liberation the Senator at 1853 p. M
to-day passed the railroad rate bill
by the practically unanimous vote
of71 to3. The three negative votes
were asst by Foraker, Republican, q
Ohio, and Senators Morgan and Pet
tus, emocrats, of Alabama. There
was somewhat larger attendance OF
Senators than usual, but the attend.
ance in the galleries was by no means
abnormal, and there was no mani.
festaiion of any kind when the re-
suit was announced. There was,
however, an almost general sigh OF
relief among Senators.
The bill has received more atten-
eion from the Senate and from the
county at large than any measure
that has been before Congress since
aae It peal of the purchasing clause
,f the Sherman act, in 1898. 1t was
reported to the Senate on Feb. rs,
md " as made the unfinished business
on March II. From March II to
Nay 4 the bill was under discussion
without limitation on the duration
of spes ches, 50 of which were deliv-
cred.
The debate has at times been earn
est and animated, but 1or the most
part devoid of personality as between
) matters, the past fev days, however,
.iaving called OUT some caustic criti-
eisms of the Prs7ldent.
rhe principal purpose of the bill is
to permit the Interstate Commerce
Commission TO tx rates. The provis-
ion couferring this authority as found
ia the 4th see.ion of the bill amends
$ 9ctien Is Of the Interstate Com
.uerce law so as to accomplish that
cesuit. That section directs the Com
mission to investigate complaints OF
uujusl and unreasonable charges on
the part of common carriers in the
transportation of persons or property
sf OF RI gulatIons of practices affecting
such changes. 1t zalso authorizes an
inquiry as to whether the rates or
practices are ''unjustly discrimIna-
tory or unduly preferential or preju
dicial or otherwise in violation ofthe
act. In case any of these conditions
are found to exist the Com 10 ission is
empoN cred to determine and pre-
scribe what will be the just and
reasona BILE maximum rate and what
regulation or practice is just, reason
able and fair. Further, authority is
given the Commission to enforce its
orders and they are to go into effect
within thirty days and continue in
force fer two years, unless suspended,
modife d or set aside by the Commis-
sion or by court of competent juris-
,,iction. Other powers conferred by
this section are:
To apportioa joint fares, establish
.nr ough routes and maximum JOINT
rates and prescribe their division and
to determine the compensation to be
paid to shippers doing service for car
riers. Section 16 of the present law
is 50 changed as to provide for an
award of pecuniary damages to COM
claimants found entitled, and in case
payment bs not promptly made in &C.
cordance with this award the benei.
