Takes Deliberate Stand Against
Speaker Cannon
MUST YIELD
UNLESS TAFT's TERMS ARE
AGREED TO He WILL VETO THE
RILL-PRoMIsEs TO USE IN
FLuENcEe IF HIS TERMS ARE.
ACCEPTED BY COMMITTEES.

Washington, d. c., July 29.--A let
ter from President Taft to the tariff
conference outlining his position on
items which still are an doubt has
created considerable sensation among
the conferees. The exact terms Of the
letter have not been given out but it
is regarded as an ultimatum from him.
and is interpreted as meaning that IL
his terms are not complied with he will
veto the bill.
After giving the figures which he is
willing to concede on lumber, gloves.
hosiery, leather and leather goods. he
states in the letter that he has given
much consideration to the subject and
has reached the conclusion that ii
would be quite unwise. IL not impossi-
bic to make further concessions.
He says that If his terms are ac-
cepted, he will exert his influence in
both houses of congress to have the
conference report accepted, but that
If these various schedules are not ad-
Justed in accordance with his sugges-
tions he would feel called upon to re-
ject the bill when sent to him.
The deadlock over these provisions
has brought to the surface the fact
that there is a very sharp difference
of opinion between the president and
Speaker Cannon. The speaker has
been represented to the president as
saying that If the bill cid not take
proper care of gloves no rule for adop-
ton of the conference report could be
favorably acted upon by the house
The president understood perfectly that
he was directly antagonizing the
speaker when he wrote his letter tc
the conferees.
When the conference, this afternoon
took recess, the deadlock had not
been broken. One of the conferees
however, intimated that after some OF
his colleagues on the committee hat
given an hours further thought to the
lumber schedule there might be ali
agreement.

Washington, July 29-The conferees
on the tariff bill having completed
their labors and arranced the schedule
by which the confer re- report will
be probably placed before the house
tomorrow and before the senate on
Monday, the tariff builders are opti-

There is some doubt, however,
whether the conference rates on lum-

to President Taft. The action of the
conferees on these two schedules was
the subject of a conference at the

To the Editor of The Robesonian:

10 the Editor or he RobeSonlan:
The box supper at Oakdale
school house in district No. 2, st.
Pauls township, was pulled off
Friday evening in a successful
manner. A nice sum of money
was raised to buy desks for the
school. The most attractive girl
was voted on and was found to
be the teacher, Miss Katie Broad

think so. All present, young
and old, seemed to enjoy them
selves very much eating the good
things prepared by the young
; ladies, also beholding the pref
test girl in the school room, with
agreat many others as sweet as
they can be.
We hope to have another good
time in the future to raise funds

What to Read.

Tell me what man reads and |
will tell you what he u.s." said a wise
writer; for little by little the things
that we read become our thoughts, and
make the very texture of the mind.
During the last few months the at
IGNITION of the American people has
been aroused to the consideration of
impure foods. This agitation has done
good, for with the abundance of good
| food there is little excuse for using any
food which is harmful. The time has
come when the American family must
give better attention than in the past
to another matter-the choice between
good and bad reading. We have read
enough about wickedness in both public
and private life; too many stories of
criminal transactions; too much about
the evil and not enough about the good
in life.
Let US have the bright and clean
side of our American life only. Let US
read stories of heroes who are both brave
and noble, and not vulgar and confessed
criminals. The mission of the rress IS
to help the reader, not drag him down;
to suggest high, not low ideals.
At this season the average American
, family selects periodicals for the mex,
. year. Let the choice be only for clean
wholesome, patriotic periodicals. Senc

ZELAYA RESIGNS PRESI-

Nanagua Nicaragua. dispatch, 18th.
Jose Santos Zelaya has resign

aqua. He placed his resignation
in the hands of Congress this
morning. Apparently there was
no other course for him to take.
The people were at last aroused.
The guns of the revolutionists
threatened. The warships of the
United States lay in Nicaraguan
ports.
Managua has been seething for
days. The spirit of revolt has
spread even to the gates of the
palace. Zelaya surrounded him
self with an armed guard. Un-
checked, the populace havemarch-
ed through the streets, crying
for the end of the old, proclaim
ing the new regime.
Who will take up the reigns nc
one knows nor cares. 1t is suffi-
cient that Zelaya as dicta will
be known no more. There is NJ
doubt that Congress will &C
quickly on his resignation, fo
the people have demanded it.

District Passenger Agent Gattis
to Change Base.

Mr.. C.. H. Gattis has resigned
his position as district passenger
agent of the Seaboard Air Line,
with headquarters at Raleigh,
and will become general passen-
ger agent Of the Georgia & Flor
ida Railroad with headquarters
in Savannah, Ga. 1t is under

Gattis' change the Raleigh cor
respondent of The Charlotte OBJ

The advancementof Mr.. Gattis
in railroad service has been
steady from office boy in the To-
cal office here through all the
grades Of service to the agent in
charge of the Office and then to
travelling passenger agent in
charge Of this Seaboard district.
Aggressive business methods and
a diligent care for the comfort
and convenience of the patrons
of the road whom he served have
given him highest rank with both
the railroad company and the
people. His loss to this city anc
section is especially regretted
but there is qualification at thi
decided promotion, so much de-
served, that has come to him.
