L. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the human stomach Is the cause of
most i'll health and who created a
furore In Chicago, st. Louis and other
western cities, is" meeting with the
same remarkable success with his
medicine throughout the east. Cooper
has convinced an immense number Of
people that his theory Is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
lures Of the discussion this young
man Is causing, are the statements
made by responsible people who have
taken his medicines and have become
enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.

thing fierce, likewise the roads

ize the Town Of LulnbertOn to
Issue Bonds to Fund Its Float
ing Debt.
The special session of the Leg
islature, which will convene in
Raleigh next Tuesday, will be
petioned to pass a bill authorizing
the town of Lum berton to issue
oonds in a sum sufficient to fund
the floating debt Of the town. At
A Joint meeting of the board Of
town com missioners. the town
board of audit and finance, the
board Of graded school trustees
and a number citizens, held Tues

,us of opinion that this action
would be best. This does not
mean that the debt of the town
will be increased; it means only
that the form of the Indebtedness

tax levy will only reduce the in.
debtedness of the town from
about $1,000 to about $14,0
1t was necessary a short time
ago, it will be recalled, to borrow
$4,000 to complete and furnish
the graded school building, Il
is the purpose to issue bonds it
sum not exceeding $4,000 OF
$4,000.
No official action was taken Al
the meeting held Tuesday even
ing. At a meeting Of the boart
of town commissioners which
will be held on Tuesday evening
of next week a resolution will b.
adopted asking the Legislature
to authorize this bond issue.

SOUTHERN MAN
FOR PRESIDENT

Washington, November 25.-(Special)-
Representative Burgess of Texas, who
is an early arrival in Washington owing
to his membership in the monetary com
mission, believes that the democratic
party should nominate a southern man
for President four years hence. He favors
Senator Culberson, though Mr.. Burgess
believes there are a number of good men
in the southland who would make excel
lent presidential material.
aTo win the presidency" said Mr.. Bur-
CESS today, the democratic party has
got to get back to fundamental demo-
cratic principles. There has been little
discussion of these during the past L
or IA years The thousands of new voters
young men who have become of voting
age in that period, have not had placed
before them the teachings of the consti-
tuition. With an acceptive candidate-and
Senator Culberson is a type-and an old
fashioned democratic platform, we can
carry the presidency. We will never do
SO on any other issue or group of issues. :

TARIFF REVISION
Is DEPRECATED

Washington, November 25.-Today' 5
hearing looking to a revision of the tariff
was devoid of interesting features, the
democratic members of the committee
falling to enter into any severe examina-
ton of witnesses. The entire afternoon
session was devoted to the tariff on glass
and glassware.
w. L. Kann of the Pennsylvania
American Plate Glass company, on be-
half of II plate glass companies, asked
for an increase in the duty on plate
glass. Representative Boutell of Illinois
questioned the witness as to whether the
American laborer would benefit from an
increase in the tariff and when Informed
that he would not, Mr.. Boutell said
For three weeks this committee has
conducted these hearings and all those
who appeared before it did SO voluntarily.
No one was asked. The testimony has
uniformly shown that increased duties
will not accrue to the benefit of the ulti-
mate consumer. 1t seems that no mat
ter what we do, if we raise or lower the
tariff, it will only benefit one class. to
which you belong

Mr.. kann.
Precisely" replied Mr.. Boutell. Il
want to know what will be accomplished
by a revision of the tariff
Representative Pou of North Carolina
secured the admission from Mr.. Kann that
the II plate glass companies he repre-
sented endeavored to put up the prices of
glass at the same time.

King Gives Reasons.
THE mills of Germany and Belgium
are antiquated and have little capital. II
this duty is not increased it is my belief
that these European mills will add to
their capital, modernize their plants and
use this country for steady market
Then you want an increase in duty to
quiet your apprehension and not because
of any actual difficulties you have ex-
periencedY' said Mr.. Cochran.
TT is generally believed that Andrew
Carnegie knows something about the steel
industry" said Mr.. Clark. He says that
we can make steel in this country at less
cost than it is made elsewhere. Do you
agree with him?''
Mr.. Carnegie has been out OF the steel
business for eight or nine years and mas
no interest in 1t except for the money ne
draws from bonds"
Chairman Payne read an extract from
Mr.. Carnegies article on the tariff and
had it inserted in the record of the hear
ings.
Mr.. Carnegie says the cost of making
steel in this country is less than else

statistics which would aid the committee
in reaching a just conclusion on this
question:"
