Tuesday, March 23rd, the discussion
of the bill was begun by its author,
and continued throughout the day.
Hon. Champ Clark and other repre-

bill, and the argument still contln-

long the free discussion will continue.
AS concerns North Carolina and
neighboring States, they are most
affected by the items relating to cot

grades and to lumber, says Sundays
Charlotte Observer. The tariff OF
single yarns up to No. Is has beeI
reduced from 3 cents a pound t,

schedule advanced them by Is CEN

dule they are advanced by 1-6 cent Z

little Importance.
AS concerns lumber, undreSseo
lumber has been reduced from 81 0G
thousand feet to so cents. Dress
ed lumber, ranging on the old lis
from 81 90 a thousand feet to So 81
ranges in the new list from so cent,
to $3.50. On rough lumber the re-
duction is so per cen.
AS is clearly apparent the Paynt
tariff bill as it now stands is purely
and simply protective in its nature.
just as the Diogley bill is protective

Gave Recital at University.

The following clipping taken from
the Raleigh Evening Times of March
9th will be Of interest to many
readers of THE COMMONWEALTH:
The first of the graduating recltals
was given in the auditorium Of the
Baptist University yesterday after
noon by Miss Sallle Spruill Baker, OF
the School Of Elocution. Miss Baker
has completed the course of study
prescribed for the dramatic school.
Since she has been at the University
she has been heard in number of
recitals and her talent as reader 8
we'll known.
There was large crowd present
yesterday afternoon to hear her in
depreciation of Robert Browning's
beautiful little drama, "Pippa Pass
es." 1t was given with good deal
of dramatic power and all it's beau
ties were brought out by Miss Baker.
She received many congratulations
on the success of her recital.

Corn! Corn! Corn!

Don't forget to plant big corn

country. Try some we'll known kinds
this year on rich land and make almost
enough on one stalk to feed horse
with one time. But of course | do
not mean road team. Some kinds of
corn has produced as much as twenty
five barrels per acre on good land
and what has been done may be done
again. Some corn is extra for the
table use as it comes a little earlier
than many other kinds and at the
same time it is also good for general
use as it Yields 50 we'll on good land
Scotland Neck section needs big
Germ crop this year. For it begins
to look like that it will soon take
about all our farmer friends make
to buy mules and feed for them
Cor load after car load Of feed stuff
comes to Scotland Neck which should
be raised at home, and let this money
stay in circulation here instead of
s-gdng it all away to Western mar
kets to pay for feed bills The quick
err this is stopped the quicker the
country will be in better condition.
A big corn crop will not only reduce
the price of feeding road team but
will also reduce the price of mules.

Eat What
You want Of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
II Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufiic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
