rhinitis tablets, 500 lithiad tablets, one
ounces of tromatic spirits of ammon-
ia, one case of Hunyadi water. one
quart of olive oil. two quarts of am
monia, and so on drought a long list.
Two kips of chamois skins at $43.-

ounces of bergamot were also among
the things laid in stock.
Soap? Yes, there was half gross
of imported French soap, perfumed,
$4465 Four gross of another fancy
soap cost $121.4O and there was a lot
of three other less expensive brands.
In the supplies of last year the sem
ate bought one bottle each of mus

Carolina tar. 1t took in large amounts
of timothy hay, oats, meal and bran.

Of Meats food oil, 81; one quart of
foot dressing, rs cents two name
brushes, IS cents, and three pairs of
iron holdback hoops, 81.
Some of the magical maneuvers in
the senate may possibly be explained
bv the fact that so gallons of Aladdin
oil were bought for senatorial use.
Some other liquids were: four gal
Ions of alcohol, % barrels of strained
West Virginia OIL one barrel of for
Nadine, and five gallons of witch
hazel.

senator's consumed 159 cases of apol-

they must acquaint the secretary with

In the payrolls there appear many
employees whose names are similar to
those of senator's. If this similarity
indicates kinship it appears that at

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Purchases
made in the course of a year for the
use of the senators, directly and indi-
rectly, make up a list almost infinite
in it's variety.
They are set forth in detail in the
annual report Of the secretary of the
senate and in strict accordance with
the law that requires the publication
of the record of every expenditure, he
allows no item to escape. There are
articles for business and for comfort
for the medicine chest and for the
toilet.

dures in the senate, tempestuous ques-

port, just issued, it appears that four
dozen bottles of popular grades of
cologne and a gallon of another brand
of cologne were a part of the stores

of olden times when gallant beaux
were wont to meander about in an
invisible zone of incense-laden atmos-
phere. Thus romance lives on and on
and anybody not liking cologne can
lump it.
Another reminder of the good old
days is the habit of taking snuff. 1t
still lives, and a single invoice of two
pounds of Copenhagen snuff indicates
that even in the council house of the
nation there exists a demand for this
solace of old age. Falling hair, too,
appears to be an issue There is an
item of one dozen bottles Of a cele-
brated brand of hair tonic, $27.75, and
two bottles of another brand, $3.50

Gulf Field.

The decline in southern Louisiana
was offset by increase in production in
the Caddo field under the stimulus due
to the starting of work on the refinery
of the Standard Oil company at Baton
Rouge and on pipe line connecting it
with the Caddo field. The significant
feature in this drilling has been the
success of persistent efforts to discov-
er oil at low levels. particularly

Illinois.
In Illinois the inevitable decline IN
production was offset in it's signlh-
canoe for the future by the discoveries
in several localities of deeper oil sands
some of which gave large yields. Ihe
oil men in Illinois are still speaking
of third, fourth, fifth, and even s1Xth

portancc, its impatient treat
ment by a large element of the
party is in strong contrast with
that which was accorded TO the
Administration of Roosevelt.
On the other hand, the achieve
ments of Roosevelt i'm seven
years consisted for the most
part of an enormous increase of
expenditure in every depart
ment of the public service and
in the issue of manifestoes-an
art of concealing failures and
mistakes, including approval of
the Steel Trusts absorption of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company.
Yet with all the disappoint-
ments of President Taft it would
be rash to assume that he will
prove an exception to all other
occupants of the office and vol
unfairly withdraw at the end of
his four years term. On the
contrary, what is most likely is
that he will let the organization
of the Republican party work
to secure his denomination in
1912. His manager, Postmaster
General Hitchcock, has the par
ty machine so we'll in hand that
he can hardly experience seri-
Gus difficulty in securing for his
chief majority of the dele
gates to the Republican Nation
al Convention, save in the In
surgent States of the Middle
West. The cohesive power of
Government patronage through
the disciplined army of post
m asters, internal revenue Off
Gals andcustom house collectors
is too great for an unorganized
opposition to defeat when it
comes to making the Presiden-
tial nomination. But an cleo
ton with the party hopelessly
divided on the supreme issue of
the tariff is quite a different
thing philadelphia Record.

The Mayor and Council.

Snow Hill has been very fortu-
nate in having for its officials
men of high character and un-
questioned honesty. No one
will gainsay the fact that our
town has been greatly improved
within the past ten years. Much
of this is due to the Mayor and
City Council, but more is due
to the people who have consent
cd to the bonding of the town
for such improvements. OF
course it has cost us something
to accomplish this and make
our town the admiration of
strangers, and a much more
pleasant place than formerly in
which to live. We have SPLEEN
did water, secured under the adj
ministrations of Mayors John p.
Moore and Erastus 5. Dashiell,
and we have splendid streets
and sidewalks, secured under
the administration of Mayor
William D. Corddry. Many per
sons who were opposed to the
bonding of the town for i'm
provements are now glad that
it was done, and we believe
there is now no feeling against
such work.
The officials to be elected next
Monday will not have to face as
many problems as have con-
fronted those of the past twenty
years, as the main thing now
is to keep the town running
along the lines well laid out,
and which have been so bene-
fetal. The Mayor and City
Council will have our support
in keeping Snow Hill to the
front. II should also do all in its
power to aid the Board of Trade
in securing new industries for
the town.

Rev. J. G. Dukes, Pastor OF the Uni
tartan Church OF Pinetown, n. c.,
writes:
MY wife has been in very bad state
OF health for several years, and nothing
seemed TO do her any good until she
began TO use Peruna one month ago.
Since then the color has returned to her
face, and she is gaining in flesh every
day, and believe she is q well woman
to-day.
"My little boy, ten years old, was pale
and had but little life. He began to
use Peruna the day his mother began.
To-day his face is rosy, and he is out in
the yard running and jumping with the
rest OF the children"
Stomach Trouble Relieved.
Mrs. #. j. Ballard, Pryor Creek,
Indian Territory, writes: ~ am happy
TO tell you that keep free from my old
stomach trouble; feel no catarrhal
symptoms at all. I am able to do my
work, eat and drink what / want, and
rejoice that found a sure cure in your
valuable medicines, which failed to
find in the best Of home physicians"

Our Disgrunfied President.

Reports from Washington
continue to describe our good
natured President as much dis
gruntled" over the condition of
public affairs. Not even the
distractions of golf appear capa-
BILE of restoring his good humor.
Among the evidences of his
state of mind are given his two
recent speeches in one day init
mating that one term III his high
Office is quite enough for him.
From this is rather hastily
drawn the conclusion that he
will not offer himself as can
didate for a second term in 1912.
But should he set an example
by voluntarily declining a sec
ond term there is no question
that a one term rule for the
Presidency would be most de-
sirable for the country now that
the enormous patronage and
spoils of the Government have
became the most potential fac
tor in securing denomination,
IL not n recollection.
Among the causes assigned
for the i'll humor of the Presi-
dent is the fact that nearly five
months of the session of Con-
gress are gone, and not one of
the measures of his program of
legislation has yet been adopt
ed. The Railroad bill, with it's
Court of Commerce and its long
and short haul and pooling pro-
vision; the Postal Bank bill, the
admission of New Mexico and
Arizona, and the Conservation
bill, are still in allegiance, and
Congress is becoming impatient
to adjourn by June /. Another
cause of the Presidents loss of |
good humor is in the merciless
criticism of his Administration |
within the party, and in the
insurgency against the tariff. |
For, save with regard to the
tariff, the Democratic opposition
has been unusually considerable
and forbearing in and out of
Congress.
But if in one brief year Taft's
Administration has produced
no positively good results of inn
