LEGITIMATE SOFT DRINK RE-
SORTS ON RESERVATION HARD
HIT BY ACTION OF vOLLMER
TRUSTEES.
Special to Evening Teller.


VOLLMER. Ida, June 3.-The &C.
tion of the village trustees In levy
ing a license Of $50 per month for
soft drink resorts is meeting with
strong opposition from persons who
are engaged In the refreshment busi-
ness along legitimate lines.
1t is stated here the action Of the
trustees was to provide a revenue
from persons engaged in bootleg
ging" business. but in the drafting
of the ordinance no discrimination
between the legitimate and the
"bootlegging" places was provided
Persons engaged in the business
claim the action of the trustees will
drive them from the town or com
pei honest men to resort to an un.
lawful trafiic in order to make the
money necessary to meet the de.
mands OF the administration. There
are instances cited where owners o1
resorts have been to a considerable
expense In furnishing their placer
and installing their stocks, but whit
have confined their business entire
ly within the law. It Is said thes'
men are not financially able to re-
move to apother locality where the!
can operate without high license
and will not resort to the selling o
whisky to make their Investment ,
financial success.

BORAH Will
Second TAFT
IDAHO SENATOR COMPLIMENTED
IN BEING MADE ONE OF THE
SPEAKERS FOR TAFT AT Ma
TIONAL CONVENTION.

BOISE, June "a special to the
Statesman from Washington says:
Senator Borah has been invited to
second Secretary Taft's nomination
at the republican national conven-
tion in Chicago. The invitation
came in the form of personal let
ter from Secretary Taft and is the
greatest honor as Senator Borah is
requested to follow Senator Dolliver,
who is to make the first seconding
speech.
Senator Borah has not yet made
reply to the secretary, but will do SO
Monday. and there is apparently lit
tie doubt but that he will accept.
This invitation, coming as it did
voluntarily from the man sure to be
nominated, is far and away the
greatest honor bestowed upon Sena-
tor Borah since he came to Wash
ington and is clearly indicative OF
his standing with the administra-
tion.
There were numerous reasons why
Secretary Taft invited Senator Bo-
rah to second his. nomination. There
Is the warmest personal friendship
existing between these two men. and
Senator Borah has been one OF the
staunchest Taft men in the country.
In fact, he is recognized as one OF
the original Taft men. From the
very start he has never faltered In
his support Of Taft, and It was large
Nv due to his efforts that Idaho re-
hently instructed her delegates to
vote for Taft in the convention. Sec
rtary Taft is duly apreciative OF
Senator Borah's oratorical attain
ments and is anxious that his nomi-
nation should be seconded by the
ablest men numbered among his
friends and supporters.
Representative Burton will make
the nominating speech because he II
Taft's most loyal friend in Ohio, his
home state. Senator Dolliver, Ions
recognized as one of the leading ora
tors in congress and a close friene
G. the secretary, will make the mrs.
seconding speech, but were II no
for Senator Delivers seniority 1t Il
quite probable that Senator Boral
would follow Burton. Such honor
as this bestowed upon a new membe
of the senate, and one from stat
having the minimum representation
in the convention is without prece
dent.
1t is a great qualification to tn
senator to be thus bonored by Sec
retary Taft, and he is duly sensibl
of the honor shown him. Not bein
delegate to the convention, Sena
tor Borah will have to secure
proxy from some one of the delegate
in attendance in case he decides I
make the speech, though he nee
hold the proxy only long enough Z
make his address. 1t is understoo
that this matter is what is delayln
Senator Borah in formulating nj
reply to Secretary Taft.

Is interesting to know just how the

breath of life breathed into 1t. There

and public announcement was made
that the bill was dead. |.

Different Concerns.

In writing last week about cotton
seed products, adverting to an ar
ticle printed the week before con-
corning the achievements of the
American Cotton Oil Company in
developing this great industry, we
fell into an error which, although of
little consequence in itself, in the in
terest of all parties concerned, and
to keep history straight" it is per-
haps we'll enough to correct.
We referred to the American Cotton
Oil Company as being the parent
Of the Southern Cotton Oil Company,
while as a matter Of fact they have
no connection whatever, but are sep
arate and distinct corporations the
Southern being the strongest COM
petitOr of the American.
The American Cotton Oil Company
is the parent company of the North
Carolina Cotton Oil Company with
plants in Henderson and other places
in the State) and branches in South
Carolina, Georgia., and throughout
the Southern States, all acting under
charters and bearing the name Of the
respective States where located. The
object in writing was to draw atten-
ton to the wonderful growth and
Importance of the cottonseed indus
try and the fabulous value of the
products annually made from the
once neglected and almost despised
cottonseed crop OF the South.

Prof Akers left Wednesday MORN
ing after spending a few days in
Henderson previous to taking his
final leave of US. After school closed
he spent II week in Raleigh searching
the records in the State library for
material to use in a paper on the lit
erature OF North Carolina, which
he is preparing by assignment OF
the programme committee of the
Contemporary Club, to be read be-
fore that organization. From Raj
eigh he went to Charlotte to attend
the Teachers Assembly, going thence
to his home near Roanoke, Va, for q
short visit.
1t is with sincere regret that we
announce the loss of Prof. Akers to
Henderson and the Graded School.
He has been elected superintendent
OF the schoolat Roanoke Rapids. and
will enter upon his work there with
the beginning of the fall term. Prof.
Akers became principal of the Hem
derson Graded School three years
ago succeeding Prof. Mills when he
went to Louisburg to take charge of
the school there as superintendent.
A man of pleasing manner and agree
able personality, of fine ability, tact
and aptitude as a teacher and dis
ciplinarian, Prof. Akers ingratiated
himself with our people and had an
especially strong hold on the school
children whose confidence, respect
and love for him was second only to
that of the beloved superintendent
While wishing him we'll in his new
field OF labor we part with Mr.. Akers
with real regret. His departure is
distinct loss to the town and to the
school.
The people of Roanoke Rapids are
to be congratulated. They could
not have made better choice
whether from the standpoint of the
man or the school official.

normal conditions prevailed-one
calf for each year and again last

three years to her credit. Who has

Patronne the Home Merchant.

1t is the policy of too many people
nowadays to do their trading with
the large mail order houses, which
issue bulky catalogues and advertise
every class of goods, from a tooth
pick to a thresher at prices which
appear fabulously low. But if you
will compare quality and prices with
those Of your home merchant you
could do just as we'll at home as you
can at the large city stores.
Grant that you may save few
cents, or a few dollars even on an ar
ticle purchased from those same
foreign" mail order houses, can you
afford to treat the home merchant
that way? Who is it that builds up
and maintains your local market,
creating demand for what you have
to sell? Your home merchant Who
is it you go to in time of need when
you haven't the ready money to pay
cash for what you want to buy and
want credit from? That same home
merchant.
Suppose every person who buys
things should adopt the plan of send
ing his money away from home
patronizing the mail order houses
where he would never stand the
chance of seeing a dollar of it again
what would become of the local
merchant and the local market?
Who would buy the stuff you have to
sell? Not the foreign fellow from
whom you have been buying because
you think you are saving few
dimes Or few dollars and are not
much better off for your shrewdness.
Hardly.
But maybe you had never thought
of it in that light

chant because he stays with you.
