MIR. Pou Out Again.
Popular Congressman from the
Fourth District Undergoes Oper-
alton from Which He is Rapidly
Recovering.

Friends of Hon. E. W. Pou, men,
Der of Congress from this district,
whose health has not been good OF
late, will learn with pleasure of his
improved condition. Mr. Pou re-
Gently underwent an operation at IL
hospit al in Washington from the eff
fects Ofwhich he is rapidly recovering.
The operation, not a very serious
| one, was entirely successful, and com
plete restoration to health is now
only matter of Il short time. Mr..
Pou has left the hospital and gone
to Atlantic City. Alter IL short sea-
son of rest and recreation, he will re-
! turn home.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer saw Mr.. Pou
ON Tuesday just before he left for At
lantic City, and concerning the coli
| ditiOn of his health and his candidacy
for reelection to Congress,quotes him
as follows:
| DIR. Ruffin tells me that the cause of
my recent attack has been entirely re-
moved, and that as soon as | can get
two or three weeks rest will be well.
|
weeks. A friend wrote me a few days
ago that a report was being circulated
in my district that had stated or writ
ten to some one that | could never ao-
copt nomination for Congress again.
The nomination is a long way off. None
of us can tell what may take place before
that time, but think it only fair to my
| self to contradict that rumOr. | have
never stated or aitten to any one that |
could not accept another nomination.
NO man has any claim upon a public
position, and know perfectly well that
there are many able men in my district;
nevertheless if the Democrats OF the
Fourth district wish to give me another
nomination | know OF no reason why
should not accept. Ii, however, some
other gentleman is nominated | shall re-

seemed right. | value the confidence OF
my constituents above all else. and do
not want the office longer than they
want me to have it.
Il have never declined to respond to
the call of my party. | know the sensa-
tions Of both defeat and victory.
The next few years will witness the
fiercest contest between monopoly and
the people that this country has ever
experienced. President Roosevelt is
simply taking advantage of opportunity
made possible by Mr.. Bryan's eloquent
campaigns in behalf of the people. Much
remains to be done. Any man should
esteem it a great honor to be permitted
to aid in the enactment of righteous leg
islation. | cherish the hope that the

HON. EDWARD w. POU.

The report that Hon. Edward W.
Pom would not be candldate Tor
Congress again isauthOritative!y de-
MED Whether this report originated
with certain parties who aspire to
represent the district themselves, or
whether it crew ont OF the statement
bv Mr.. POu that he would not be a
candidate for Governor, we do not
know. 1t is enough to know that
Mr.. POu's valuable services will con-
time to be at the command OF the
pe0D!e OF the Fourth district ii they
want him.
1t will be recalled that shortly be-
fore Congress adjourned Mr.. Pou
gave out an interview i'll which he
said he would not be u candidate for
Governor, his name having been men
toned in that connection. Among
others he assigned as one Of his rea-
SONS for not doing so that he prefer
red to remain in Congress il the peO-
pl,. of the district would let him, III
nsmuch as he felt that his experience
had better fitted him to serve the
people OF the State in that capacity
than in any other position. and be-
cause he had now reached that point
i'm service where he could make him
self felt in important matters OF leg
islation and had reasonable assur-
ances Of better Committee assign
mcnts than he had had as Il new
member Of Congress. This story was
sent to the News and Observer by Mr..
Tom Pence it's Washington cores
UOndent. and in the absence OF any
statement from Mr.. POu to the con-
trary we fail to see how the impress
sion could get out that he would not
be IL candidate for Congress again.
Mr.. POu has served his cOnstituents
well and faithfully and has proven
himself "a useful and valuable MEM
Der of Congress. He is stronger with
the people OF the district than heever
was before and as matters now stand
it looks as If Hon Edward W. POu
will represent the Fourth (MetrOpol,
itanJ district in Congress another
term ut least.

Death of Miss Kate Weddin.
{ communicated.

communicated.
On Friday, June 21, at about l D. M.
Miss Kate Weddin died at her home at
GrCystone, after n lingering illness ex-
tending through Il number of months.
She had been i'll delicate health for several
years and Tor some months it had been
evident that her frail body could not
long withstand the fell malady that
constantly made deeper inrOads upon her
health. Her strength gradually failed.
until last Friday the end came, and
surrounded by loved ones she quietly
breathed her last
The funeral services were conducted at
the home on Sunday afternoon in the
presence OF large assemblage offriends,
ReV. MIR. Horton, rector OF the Episcopal
church at Middleburg, of which Miss
Neddin was n faithful member being
the officiating minister, assisted by Rev.
j. ii. 1enderlite of Henderson. The re-
mains were carried to Raleigh for inter
ment by the side OF her father
In Miss Weddin's death the commu-
NIFTY has sustained real loss, aud not
only her family but large circle of
trends have been sorely bereaved. She
possessed many amiable traits and her
sweet and womanly graces not only
made her numerous friends, but bound
them to her. She had in large measure
the quality of valuing and holding
friendships. She loved her friends and
delighted to be with them. During her
illness she craved their presence.
Miss Neddin was faithful Christian
and loved the church She was a con
slant worker in the Sunday school at
Brookston Chapel for many years, and
was always quick to respond to every
good work. With falling health and
often in bodily weakness she held to
her work in the Sunday-school. until
compelled by sheer physical inability to
desist.
During her long illness and contine.
ment to her home she was very patient
and bore her suffering and i'll health
with meekness and fortitude. Her
christian faith was Der solace to the
close and from a couch of weakness and
pam she has passed to city where the
inhabitants thereof shall no more saw |

comes not with wrench or lar. 1t is n

That Favorable Trade. Balance

How much we are the victims of
phrases that mean something other
than what they are popularity sup
posed to mean, or, indeed, that
mean nothing at all There's the
phrase favorable balance of trade"
favorable, that is, to the United
States. 1t refers to the fact that
we sell to Europe more than We
buy. The Chicago Public pune
lures this fiction in concise para
graph. For years it has been the
boast of the Republican party"
says the Public, that our enormus
excess of exports over imports was
a favorable balance OF trade, and
that, as the late President McKin-
ley expressed it, every dollar of the
excess would come back to us in
pure gold But now that we need
the gold. not a dollar comes over
in payment of onr export balance.
Although our excess of exports
since lS9S-including gold, silver
and observation-disclosures to five
billions, we have to pay heavy
rate for paltry fifty millions,
barely one per cent of our excess
of exports, now that we want the
money. Does that look as if an
excess of exports spelt profitable
tradef What has become of the
five billions that foreigners owe us,
if they do owe it, Why don't we
call upon them to pay up, instead
of going to them for gold at a high
price9 If foreigners owe us al
open account, why are drafts upon
London SO dear though they ought
to be cheap If we have invested
in foreign securities why don't we
throw these securities upon the
stock exchanges? While we are
paying heavy prices for foreign
gold, foreigners are selling Ameri
can securities. Not only does il
appear, then, that foreigners don't
owe us, but it appears that we owe
them. And yet our export balan-
ces since 1898 aggregate $1,000,
600, 900. Isn't it plain that some
how or other our much Wanted
favorable balance of trade never
was favorable BALANCED" Cap.
