LA TOILETTE DAY
Both the Reform Senator and the
Little Jap Attract Large Crowd
to the Chautauqua Tent.

When Senator LaFollette arrived
! in the city yesterday morning he vas
met by a representative body OF citi-
zens and given the glad hand, " after
which he was most elegantly enter
tanned at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Sanders.
At the big Chantauqua tent IN the
afternoon the senator was greeted by
a large audience and for two hours
and half held and delighted it.
LaFollette isa large man in every
way except physical stature. He is
accompanied in his travels by. his pri-
yate secretary, Mr. Nelson, who bears
a striking resemblance to prize
tighter. The reform senator is an
inordinate user of ice while speaking
/ and left that trust entirely
out Of the reconing in his remarks
yesterday Every seat in the tent
should have been occupied during
his speech. His lecture alone was
worth half the price OF a season
ticket.
The Morimoto entertainment last
night was a half Disappointment The
lecture Of the cultured little Jap was
fully up to the standard, being botf
interesting and instructive. But ths
pictures, whileall right in themselves
were very unsatisfactory displayed
Either the machine used is badly ou'
of order or the operator is a notice a.
the business. Morimoto was loud II
his acclaim for peace between th'
United States and Japan.
The audience last night was ever
larger than the one to hear LaFollett'
ia the afternoon, Who says that NOV
ing pictures OF the right sort ant
character are not drawing caro-
There we're no improper suggestion
in the pictures ahown last night, no.
viii there be in others to follow dur
ing the ChautauQua sessions.

A DRY TOWNS TROUBLES.
High Point short of Water for Drink
ing and Industrial Purposes.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, \. c., August 3.-High
Points water supply is quite low ow
ing TO the continued dry weather and
the small stream from which the
water supply is secured. This is
problem that is confronting High
Point people who are dependent upon
the water works for water TO drln K.
to run machinery, for sewerage and
many other necessities. The only solu-
ton apparent seems to be the tapping
Of Deep River which runs close by but
this stream is quite shallow and it
will take several days to do this even.
This has been talked of before. The
source Of supply at present is a very
small strea m but which has been quite
active under favorable circumstances.
One half of the factories are shut
down today which with the sewer sit
uation presents an ugly situation.
Mr.. c. Van Brunt and family have
returned to New York state from
whence they came several months ago
Mr. Van Brunt has been connected
with the. High Point Machine Works
since his stay here. He Will probably
return in the fall.

Changes in the Census Bureau Plan
That Pieascs Planters.

Atlanta, Ga, August 3-Farmers
and cotton men generally favor the re-
cent decision of the census bureau to
issue ten reports on cotton ginning
statistics, if the comment of the press
and of men connected with the cotton
business is an indication.
1t will be rem embered that the bu-
reau announced ten reports from Sep
tember to March 20. these interne-
diate dates being October 2, October
25, November s. Novem ber q, Decem-
ber 8, December 30, January 9 and
January %.
What especially pleases the cotton
men is that the reports will be issued
at 10 O'Clock in the morning instead
of at o'clock in the afternoon, as has
heretofore been the rule In this way
there can be no improper use of the
information, and the results can reach
Europe within trading hours on the
day they are published here.
The Southern Cotton Association is
delighted with this arrangement said
President Harvie Jordan. 1T is in
lire with what we have always urged
When we had only one report a year
ton of conditions, which was good
neither FOR the grower nor for any one
connected with the cotton business.
L believe that it would be entirely
practicable to issue a ginning report
every week, and this would be even
better than ten reports. We would
then have four reports a month, in
stead of less than two. Still. the move
as it is is good one. 1t was q good
idea issuing the reports in the morn
ing
