CONGRESS OPENS
SHORT SESSION
Indications Are Little General
Legislation Will Be
Attempted.

Washington-Th sixty-first con-
gress assembled Monday for it's final
session Almost imm ediately after
converting both houses followed the
custom of adjourning for one day out
of respect to the memory of those
members who have died during the
summer recess Five senators and
three representatives have died since
the beginning of summer. Upon re-
assembling Tuesday tie two houses
listened to the reading of the presi-
dents annual message.
The message was unusually long,
running from 10000 to 10000 words.
In general way the president urged
upon congress the necessity for enact
ing legislation to build up the Ameri-
can merchant marine, to conserve the
natural resources of the country, to
provide a new form of government
for Alaska, to supplement and
strengthen" the Sherman antitrust
law, to enlarge the scope of the civil
service law, to create a national bu.
reau of health, to provide legislative
basis for workingmen's compensation.
for the Limitation of injunctions is
sued by federal courts, and to pro-
mote closer commercial relations with
Canada. The president also gave his
views in regard to the further regu-
lation and control of corporations
engaged in Interstate business and
the regulation of the issue of stocks
and bonds of intersts tie railways
Get Down to Business.
After the reading of President
Taft's annual message the lawmak-
ers were able to get down to business
almost Immediately, as the details
of organization and committee
changes required little time. The
opinion is gaining ground that little
else than the passage of the various
appropriation bills will be attempted.
Statements by leaders of various
parties and factions indicate that the
short session will do little else than
pass the regular appropriation bills.
The regular Republicans declare:
We'll, we will get the routine out OF
the way" The routine being the nu-
merous appropriation bills.
The Democrats say: well, let's
| see what the Republicans will do
Our turn comes next year."

Germany's governmental po1icy-is to

Denmark and Holland export butter,
which takes nothing from the soil.
The French import Asiatic silk, weave

product. They export wine by analy-
sis 81 per cent water, 10 per cent alco-
hol and 0.04 per cent aroma and bou-
quet. Water and alcohol take nothing
from the soil, but the aroma makes
the wine worth from $40 a pound
down.
In the peace negotiations between
Bismarck and the French In 1871 1t
was not the money indemnity, 1t was
not the loss of territory, that pro-
longed negotiations. Bismarck be-
thought himself to demand 1900 emp
ty old champagne barrels impregnated
with the aroma, the bouquet produc-
Ing ferment, and this the French re-
fused. They had consented Il pay
$lO00,O60.0o0; they broken heartedly
gave up Alsace and Lorraine, but the
bouquet of their priceless wines Bis
marek should not have, and in the end
they compromised on Eve barrels.

oped through his testimony that was

One Of the greatest triumphs of

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots

for female ills, and such unquestion.
able testimony as the above proves the

giving a man an office for life.
Mr.. Bullock had one of the best
. fees within the gift of our peo-
pie and on account of his health,
or some other cause, he resigned.
Now il IS not equitable for him
to come before the people again
so soon wanting office, when
other men fully as capable as he
are asking for a place. Mr.. Skip
per is resident of Lumberton
and a lawyer and Lumberton has
two native Lumhertonians at this
time asking for office; Mr.. Higley
for register of deeds and Mr..
Skipper for clerk. We are oppos-
ed to giving Lumberton two out
of the four county offices. These
are two of our reasons for favor
lg Mr.. Barnes. We have known
mir. Barnes fer several years; we
know him to be a heightened
Christian man and so for the

the people of Robson county to
see to it that K. NJ. Barnes shall

sNYDER'S MEMORY FAILS,
An Old Friend Relates an Incl
dent That Snyder Cannot Re-

call.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
As was riding around the
other day looking at the green
grass and the poor crops, | met
up with an old cogger friend of
nine of other days who inquired
why | didn't write any more for
my friend Snyder. l told him
! had been writing under the
nom de plumefor over forty years,
and that | had used up all of my
available material; that all the in
cidents related in the several
sketches were real and genuine
and that since | had quit farm
ing and "cussing" negroes |
didn't have much more to say.
Well" he replied, Il have new
er read anything about that time
me and you went patrolling on
yon-way, and what a time we
had, to be sure" But | couldn't
recall the circumstances, and
asked him to relate them, which
he did in the following manner.
You remember me and you was
appointed by the county court to
be 'patterollers' for this dis
trict, and when the crops was
laid by was summoned by you
to meet you at the STOPPING pines
and we would ride around and
see how things were doing. I
remember | was riding that big
black horse, the one we traded
for at the Scotch fair, and you
was riding a big bay that you
called McDuff; an what a time
We had, to be sure! The first
place we went to we didn't find
a niger, because they said
they all had gone to a corn-shuck-
ing down on the creek, and you
know corn-shuckings was a sort
Of free place, and passes were
not supposed to be required. By
then we knowed that our trip
for that night was up, and start
ed home, but concluded to call
round at the majors and get
some water. So riding up to
the gate, we 'hollered' out and
asked if we could get a drink of
water, when voice answered
and said we could not, but if we
would get down and hitch our
horses we might get some cider.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Do you remember
how quick you got off your horse
and made for the gate! Well,
wasn't that cider good and dion I
we drink a lot Of it! / remem.
Der that my horse got loose and
/ had to walk home and l had tc
slip in at the back door, but az
nobody axed any questions l hac
to tell no lies. / never thought
Of asking you how you got home
and how did your"
replied that had no recollec.
ton whatever of the circum.
stances alluded to, and as it was
getting late and as | had some
distance tc ride, babe him gooc
bye, and rode On wondering a,

Dry that some people possess.
