Both Houses Immediately Respond to
Message of President Asking for
Appropriation in Addition to Car
goes of Supplies Already on the
Way in Government VesseIs-serv-
ices of BattIeship Fleet Proffered.
Washington, Jan. 5. - President
Roosevelt, in message to congress,
asked for a direct appropriation of
$5,00,000 for the relief of the stricken
people in the earthquake zone of It.
ally. This, the most generous fund
ever contributed by the American peo-
pie for succor of sufferers in other
lands, is to supplement the dispatch
of the supply ships Celtic from New
York and the Culgoa from Port Said
for Messina with their big cargoes of
necsesaries, originally intended for
the American fleet diverted to the i'm
mediate use of the Italian victims. It
also supplements the presidents prof
fer of the services of the entire Amer
ican fleet of sixteen battleships, whose
use, in whole or in part, hinged only
on the acceptance or declination of
the Italian government. The message
was brief and both houses immedi-
ately enacted into law the recommen-
dations made. The message follows:
Text of the Message.
"The appalling calamity which has
befallen the people of Italy is fol-
lowed by distress and suffering
throughout a wide region among many
thousands who have escaped with
life but whose shelter and food and
means of living are destroyed. The
ordinary machinery for supplying the
wants of civilized communities is
paralyzed; and an exceptional emer-
gency exists which demands that the
obligations of humanity shall regard
no limit of national lines.
"The immense debt Of civilization
to Italy; the warm and steadfast
friendship between that country and
our own; the affection for their ma.
tive land felt by great numbers of
5OOu 1aAAOAANdA O4IALOAo VIII Oh ILL
migrants from Italy; the abundance
with which God has blessed us in our
safety. all these should prompt us to
immediate and effective relief.
Private Relief Generous.
"Private generosity is responding
nobly to the demand by contributions
through the safe and efficient channel
Of the American Red Cross society.
s."Confdent of your approval I have
ordered the government supply ships
Celtic and Culgoa to the scene Of dis
aster, where, upon receiving the au-
thority which I now ask from you,
they will be able to dispense food,
clothing and other supplies with
which they are laden to the value of
about 100000. The Celtic has al
ready sailed and the Culgoa is at Port
Said. Eight vessels of the returning
battleship fleet are already under or
ders for italian waters and that gov
ernment has been asked if their sery-
ices can be made useful. -st
IT recommend that the congress ap-
prove the application of supplies
above Indicated and further appropri-
ate the sum of 100000 to he applied
to the work of relief at the discretion
of the executive and with the consent
of the Italian government"

Everybody's Magazine for June.

The June number of Ever.ybOd.y's Mag
aZine is up to the usual standard-if not
little above. The fiction is rather out
of the ordinary. In the first place, Eleanor
Abbott maintains the standard set by
her fam Gus prize stories. In along the
Ripple River" she tells OF love and adven-
ture and heroism with all her usual charm
and little more than her usual vigor,
and out OF it all evolves an absorbingly
interesting tale 1t is far cry
from the "Chestnut Tree gem about
little Mary and her ''tummy- tum- tum"
to startling recital Of the methods by
which dishonest Wall Street brokers
have brought us into contempt among
other nations; and quite as far cry from
Samuel Blythe's 1.-The Search for Hard
Boiled Egg to Forrest Crissey's bitter
arrangement of the crooks OF the COM
mission market who cheat the grower
and shipper out OF their profits.
But perhaps it is just this alienation
Of light and shade that makes this num-
Der so universal in its appeal. There is
something for every member of the fam
lily. And the cover, by Howard Chandler
Christy, is a Decoration Day memorial
that will be cut out and pasted up in
many home. Mrs. Posts serial, "The
Title Market" holds up we'll, and, aside
from its love and adventure interest. con-
tinues to give, quite without prejudice.
a series of remarkable contrasts between
the lives and ideals of ourselves and the
Latin races. Oddly enough, she makes
one love Italy and the Italians, at the
same time that she makes one feel a
sense OF pity, almost shame, for those OF
our girls who marry over there.

Child Bitten BY Mad Cat.

| Sunday morning the little three
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. l..
W. Holloman was bitten by Il cat,
which has been pronounced to have
had hydrophobia. A day or two
previously the cat, a two-thirds
grown kitten, went to the Holloman
home, and took up" Sunday
morning it was seized with convul-
tions and rolled over in a fit The
little'gir saw it and with An exclama
stion OF ''po' titty," she ran toit and
| picked it up in her arms As she did
so the cat bit her on the arm Just
| below the shoulder. 1t was not ii
severe bite. The sharp teeth were
sunk into the flesh and then relaxed
there was no plug torn out.
A physician was summoned and
the wound cauterized. From the
actions OF the cat and the fact that
the child had been bitten it was
thought best to exercise precaution
against possible bad results. Mr..
Holloman took the little girl to Raj
eigh on the afternoon train to have
her treated by the Pasteur method.
The cat was killed and the head was
taken along to be examined by the
expert in charge to determine whether
or not it had rabies. According to
report made the cat was in the last
stages of hydrophobia and the child
will have to stay in Raleigh and
undergo the full course of treatment,
about three weeks.
Owing to her tender age the little
patient would not stay without her
father or mother and Mrs. Holloman
had to go n7xt day to be with her.
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hollo-
man sympathize with them in their
fresh trouble (they have had a great
deal in the way of serious and pro-
tracted sickness in the family and
sincerely hope their little daughter
will suffer no i'll effects from her iniu-
ries.

Try For a Prize.

As will be seen by advertisement

to give away one ice cream freezer
and one water cooler-the "best ir
the shop"-to two persons who shall
make a purchase at their store during
the month OF June They are going
to give out coupon for every pur-
chase, large or snail, and the two
persons holding the lucky numbers
will get the prizes
Each coupon will be numbered and
each number will correspond with
another number. Everything will be
perfectly fair and legitimate and the
small purchaser will stand just as
good chance to get a prize as the
large one. You get a coupon with
each cent purchase of a box of
tacks just the same as if you bought
a $500 Majestic range or put
$4,000 into SO much paint or any
thing else they sell. The idea is not
to reward the man who makes a
large purchase but to get the small
trade. They want the person who
must needs spend ), 10, % and 30
cents and $1.OO in their line to ''get
the habit" of going to the Watkins
Hardware Company for their wants
If he has not done so already
Hence this proposition. The big
purchaser they are not SO much con-
cerned about They will get their
share OF this trade-people who
know-anyway. 1t is the small pur-
chaser whose acquaintance and pat
rOnage they wish to cultivate. To
this end the proposition under con-
sideration has been inaugurated
1t is no secret that this is an ad-
vertising scheme, pure and simple
perfectly straight and legitimate
and will cost no one anything except
the advertisers. You get the goods
at the same or a lower price-quality
just as good or better-and stand a
chance of getting something in addi-
ton in the way of one of the prizes
offered.
Other prizes will be announced
later-some article or articles to be
given away each month during the
summer-and it will pay you to
watch their advertisement.

The Man Who Meets His Small
Obligations.
Albermarle Enterprise.

Albermarle Enterprise.
We want to say good word for
the man who meets his small obliga-
tons promptly. They are not as
plentiful as they should be and the
man needs encouraging. Most men
will pay but fewer will pay promptly.
Almost any firm will testify that,
counting the time, postage, booking,
and the like it costs all some ac-
counts are worth to collect them,
and still the man owing them is
perfectly responsible in a financial
way. 1t very often happens that the
worst sinner in this particular is the
man best able to pay.
