Some Timely Comments.

It may be seriously questioned
whether it does more harm than
good to send out lot of small
children on tie streets of small
town or city to raise money for
the church. 1t is annoying to a
great many people to be continu-
ally accosted by swarm Of little
ones. Better for the official mem
bers to take a subscription book
and present the matter in a bust.
ness like way-first to all the
members of the church, then to
the friends among the outsiders.
This will usually bring in ten
times as much as the small coin
collected by the little ones. When
the church house is in need of re.
pair it is the duty of the trustees
to raise the money and do it. Do
not make a pack-horse out of the
little ones of the League, Mission
ary Society, or Sunday school, to
carry the financial burdens which
belong to the whole church,

"Cut the tariff on steel or any
thing else you please. American
labor can stand it. l Idon't care"
said Charles M. Schwab, president
of the Bethlehem Steel Company,
to-day, as he stood in a lobby at
a local hotel waiting for train.
II believe in reduction. I
feel just as Andrew Carnegie does
on that matter. American labor
can make the best steel IN the
world and with it we can compete
with the world. I know nothing
about other lines, that is, technic-
ally, but l have enough confidence
in American labor to believe that
the tariff can be cut without in
juring business.
II have been in contact with la
Dor of all kinds for many years,
and 1 know what / can do. I
know that American workmen cali
produce more steel in a given
tims than any others in the world.
We have nothing to fear from a
cut in duties, because we have the
best goods. 1t is true that we pay
our workmen more money than
other nations, but you always have
to pay skillful workmen the high
est wages Therefore the highest
paid labor is the most profitable
to the employer. The skillful
man makes money for his emplop'
er. "-Chicago dispatch.

Under the Dingley tariff law
the two-ounce packages of tobacco
sell to the consumer at 5 cents
each and the four-ounce packages
at 10 cents. In 1898, a war reve-
nue. tax of 6 cents pound was
levied on tobacco. At the same
time, in order to serve the conven-
ience of the trade, the authoriza-
tion was given for the reduction
Of the sizes of packages from 2, 8
and 4 ounces to Il, p and 81
ounces, thus enabling the SIN ker

In due time, the war revenue
tax was re repealed. Somebody for

prised this week when they found
that the disposition Of their cases
in the Superior Court was not the

Officer Miller, of Hickory, was here
this week with a list of names OF
the persons who were found guilty
of retailing at the last term of Su-
perior Court and stated to local
officer that be was here to call on
all the retailers and require them
to pay the regular United States
liscence tax for the time they were
in the liquor business, or else they
must stand trial in the Federal
Court for retailing without liscence.
The officer stated that in the cases
where the retailer had plead gull
ty there would be no getting a

Mr.. Miller waited on while on this
trip is not known, but it is known
that he saw the two Combs broth
ers, both of whom submitted to
charges of re5ailing in quite
number of cases in the Superior
Court and were heavily fined. He
collected in the neighborhood, of
$1OO from Felix Combs and it is
that Robert had to put
up about the same amount. The

An Enormous Increase In Expenditures Dur.
ing His Administration.

"In no period except in time .
war have the expenditures of tn
Federal government increased 81
rapidly, bothin the aggregate and
per capita, as these expenditures
haze increased during the past
eight years.
This is a comment which Repre-.
sentative James A. Tawney, chair.
of the House committee on ap.
preparations, makes upon nation.
al expenditures during the admin.
istration of Roosevelt. A large
proportion of the eccess Is due to
the rapid growth of the military
and naval establishments. Mr..
Tawney is of opinion that the
great increase in expenditures sis
attributable chiefly to 1nsistent
executive recommendations and a
misguided public demand for the
Inauguration and exec ution of new
projects without due realization
of the consequent dangers.
Appropriations for public ex-
penditures are made upon esti.
mates submitted by the executive
department to Congress. The ag-
gregate of these estimates for ap-
preparations during the past eight
years, including the fiscal year
1910, for which appropriations
were made by the session of Con-
gress just ended, equals the stu
pendous sum of 81, ,291 341 ,806. 20
Congress has appropriated during
that period the sum of 81 ,007, $780,.
1888 46, or s28B, ,502, 1922 83 less
than the amounts estimated by
the administration.
The rapiditv with which nation
al expenditures have been increas-
ing during the Roosevelt period is
shown by the total appropriations
for s.e fiscal year 1908, which
were 1896 6S3, ,S6479, and the to-
tai appropriations at the second
session of tf 9 Sixtleth Congress,
just ended, for the fiscal year 1910,
which amounted to 81 ,044, 299 %,
the difference betwe en- the amount
appropriated for the public service
eight years ago and the amount
required now being $247, $50, 1873. :

The President was always orf ing

down the efforts of Congress to-

PRAYED FOR Rain.
Holiness PreacheI's Petitions Followed by
Capious Supply of Rain.

| ouPiVso ouPFiJ vi HQih'
Like Moses of old calling dow1
judgment of the Lord ON the lane
OF Pharaoh, Rev. Charles Ford
a Holiness preacher, called down
a plague on Bokhoma in the form
OF a drought, and scarcely a drop
lof rain has fallen here for six
months until yesterday, when the
minister prayed for the drought
to end.
During the drought business
was paralysed and hundreds of
men moved their families that
we're in actual want, to other
parts of the state.
Rev. Mr.. Ford's congregation at
Bokhoma is small and, in addition
to his clerical duties, the minister
worked at the mill of the Frisco
Lumber Company. Last Septem-
ber the pastor resigned at the mill
and charged that he did not re-
celve all the salary that was due
him. He then announced his in
tention to ask the Lord to with
hold the rain from his locality
indefinitely.
The following Sunday he made
his prayer from the pulpit. With
in radious of so mihs of the
stricken town rain was plentiful
on every side, but the nearest to
a rain Bokhoma got was thun-
der storm and darkened Satur-
day. The water supply gradually
grew smaller and the mills
shut down. At the end of
four months the big pond which
supplied water for the Frisco
Lumber Company was as dry as
finder. and the plant was forced
to shut down.
When the workmen's families
began to suffer, Rev. Mr.. Ford an
nounced that he would pray fer
enough rain to enable the mills to
resume OPERATION for a week, and
cautioned the men tt be careful of
their earnings and make them 90
as far as possible. His advice this
time was needed by men outside
his congregation. As if in an
swer to his suppl1cations, heavy
rain fell that night and continued
throughout the next day, and the
mills started ND and worked just
eight days before the supply again
gave out and operation ceased.
In his farewell sermon Rev. Mr..
Ford told his congregation he
would pray for rain as soon as he
crossed the river into another
county and bade them to prepare
to return to work. The next
mornlng-yester lay he took his
departure. and three hours after
he left Bokhoma the heaviest rain
IN more than a year set in. For
six hours-an hour for every
month of the drought-it poured
in torrents without ceasing-Bok-
