Senator McCumber Opposes Any En-
pansion OF National Currency.
WASHINGTON, March Senators
McCumber a. d. and Newlands (Nev)
spoke at length upon the Aldrich cur
rency bill.
Mr. McCumber was opposed to any
expansion Of the currency except to
save the country from catastrophe,
he said. He referred to the importation
Of $100,0O0.000 gold during the panic
and declared that 1t had not re-estab-
llshed the old conditions. If that
ton. he had no confidence that the pro
posed issue of $5O0.000.000 of emer7
gency currency could do 1t.
THE expansion Of the currency" he
said. does not expand the confidence
of the public in American securities"
The pending bill, he added. was not
put forth with the claim that it would
be tonic for industrial conditions, but
merely as a means of relief in case Of
runs on banks. That" he insisted. rs
the only purpose in the world thar
could he assigned as reason for Civ
ing support to IT,"
Previous panics had been brought on
by the people, but in the case of the
recent panic 1t had been brought on by
the banks, he declared. 1T is the ac-
tivity and not the bulk Of money that
pays debts" declared Mr.. McCumber.
II am not generally in favor Of any
elasticity in our currency, as | believe
such elasticity is as perniclous and al
most as bad as an elastic conscience.
But can see that If our industrial con-
ditlOns are not changed there will arise
In the future condition again that
will demand elasticity to prevent q
great catastrophe. For that reason and
because of the universal demand for
an elastic currency l am willing to vote

Headquarters Of Cooper, Who
Is Growing Famous
RELATE THEIR EXPERIENCE,

Chicago, March 3.--The most inter
esting feature of the enormous sale of
the Cooper preparations, now going on
in this city, is what the medicines are
actually accomplishing among the
people of Chicago.
AT the commencement of his visit
here Mr.. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the latter part of his stay he would
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what the
preparations had done. He also stated
that stomach trouble is the foundation
for a great many diseases, and that
his New Discovery, as it is called,
would prove very effective in all cases
| OF rheumatism, simply by getting the
stomach in working order.
| That this prophesy has been fulfilled
cannot be doubted after a half hour
spent at the young mans headquarters
listening to what his callers have to
\ say.
A reporter who watched to ascertain
If possible, some light on the reasons
for the immensely of Cooper's success
| interviewed about twenty of his call
ers yesterday afternoon. The state
| ments made by those seen to indicate
that physicians who claim that Cooper
is merely passing fad, have not look
ed into the facts.
Some of these statements were as
follows:
Mr.. John Him. of 3S5 East Division

Mr.. HIM said:

stomach complaints and peculiar

sleep at nights.
Il was in constant misery and there
was throbbing sensation in the pit OF
my stomach that nearly set me crazy
Then there was passing slime anG
mucous that made it impossible for me
to retain any thing on my stomach.

Il have good appetite again and
will consider it a pleasure to recon-

Mr.. Cooper for what his medicine has

Other statements taken from those
who had previously used the medicines
seem to prove that Cooper's success
throughout the country is genuine.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1908-05-02
Saturday, May 2, 1908.

Judge Clarence w. Robinson, the
new Judge of this circuit, in special
session of the Elizabeth City county
circuit court on last Tuesday, handed
the saloon men some sound advice IN
granting them licenses to conduct sa-
looms during the coming year. He IN
formed them from the bench that 1t is
his intention to uphold strictly the BYRD
LIQUOR laws and that if any of the keep
ers of saloons are brought before him
for violation of the laws the court Will
see that such man is properly anc
adequately punished for his offense.
Judge Robinson, with so much en-
phasis, having declared his intention to
punish violators of the liquor laws on
the part of those licensed by the State
to dispense the liquids, it may be read
ily inferred what his action will be to-
wards those who sell ardent spirits IN
local option territory, unauthorized Dy
law to do so. Unless we mistake great
ly the temper of Judge Robinson II
the matter Justice will not be temper
ed with much mercy" towards those
who are caught, without warrant OF
law, in violating liquor laws. A wore
to the wise ought to be sufficient.

A storm of indignation, disgust and
protest has been raised throughout the
South at the advocacy of social equality
advanced by the Cosmopolitan Society
of Greater New York at banquet on
Tuesday, at which twenty white girls
and women sat at feast with negroes,
and social equality and miscegenation
was openly preached by. the orator OF
the occasion. 1t e generally conceded
that the action of the society can only
have the result of drawing more tight
ly still the lines separating the two
races. The development andgrowth OF
of the negro in the South will be re-
tarded, it is believed, at least quarter
of century.

The price of bad roads appears in
late issue of the Richmond Times
Dispatch in the following:
'In reducing the good roads question
to the dollar and cents basis, the de
partment of agriculture has handed
the farmers and county tax payers gen
erallv an argument which they ought
to find irresistible. The departments
figures are based on careful and eX-
haustive tests. They demonstrate that
the actual cost of hauling, per ton
mile, is GA cents over dry, sandy roads,
80 cents over earth roads of the usual
muddy and rutted variety, 11.9cents on
broken stone roads in ordinary condi-
ton, and cents on broken stone roads
in good condition.
"This means, concretely, that good
roads pay ample cash dividends, and
that the saving which they make pos
sible far overbalances the cost of con-
struction. A road of broken stone
means consistently reduced expenses
as long as it lasts. 1t cost the farmers
81, $50, 900 to haul the wheat crop to
the railroads in 1906. This was an
average price, for all drayage, Of ~
cents ton mile. But where there were
improved roads, the figures show that
the drayage cost was only 10 cents per
ton mile. Had all the corn, wheat and
cotton crops of 1906 been hauled over
good roads the producers of&hem would
have saved $4,000, OOO."
These figures, large as they are,
probably do not show what they will be
later, if the scarcity of labor and cost
of same continues to increase as it has
done for several years past. Virginia
farmers surely cannot afford to pay
the heavy toll of bad roads at present
and certainly cannot stand the increase
which may be expected, unless there is
an improvement in their condition. 1t
is their right to be relieved of this
enormous expense to which they are
now subjected and their duty to insist
upon a change for the better. Have
they not suffered enough in the incon-
veniences as we'll as in the expense Of
of bad roads to insist upon an improve
ment in them at once?

Democratic voters, who desire to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage at the polls
in November next, must pay their capt.
tation taxes for years 1905, 1906 and
1907 before the sun sets today. If you
have neglected that duty, attend to it
at once and be prepared to participate
in the election of President, now that
the signs are so propitious for the cleo
ton of one of our own choice. Surely
everyone ought to desire this inesti-
mable privilege of citizen and be pre-
pared to exercise it when election day
