Countervailing Duties on Scotch and
Irish Whiskies.

Washington, D. c., an. 23.-Counter-
vailing duties will now be assessed
on all Scotch and Irish whiskies i'm
ported from Great Britain. The
effect of the regulation made by the
Treasury Department will be to add
nine cents a gallon to the du al
ready imposed.
Great Britain for many years has
been paying an export bounty of
three pence to the exporters, al
though the practice was not discover
ed here until recently. Diplomatic
representations failed to get the
British government to remove the
bounty and a countervailing duty has
been imposed in accordance with
law.
The trade il Scotch and Irish
whiskies amounts to about $780,
900 year.

APPROVE -ARY's FEAT.
House committee on Naval Affairs
Will Report FavorabIy on Propo-
sition to Make Explorer
Rear Admiral

Washington, JAN 23.-That Capt.
Robert E. Peary came within 1.6
miles of the North Pole-near enough
to establish his claim of having been
at the exact spot, is the decision of
the House Committee on Naval At
fairs, which has been considering the
bill to retire Captain Peary with the
rank of rear admiral
The basis Of the committees find
ing is the chart prepartd by Hugh c..
Mitchell and c. r. Duvall, of the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, and based on Peary's observa-
tions This chart shows that Peary
went to the left on nearing the pole,
due to an error in his instruments.
Later he crossed toward the pole, his
nearest point being 16 miles.
A minority reported submitted by
Representative Roberts, of Massa-
chusetts does not question Captain
Peary's performance, but arraigns the
National Geographic Society's com
mittee; which he claims announced its
findings after only a cursory exami-
nation of Peary's proofs.
Had such a chart been worked
OUT said Mr.. Roberts, "and given to
the world by the committee of the
Geographical Society the controversy
| that has ragged throughout the world
would undoubtedly have ended then
| and there"
The majority report recommended
| the passage of the Hale-Bates bill
giving Peary the thanks of Congress
! and creating him a rear admiral on
! the retired list.

CITY SCHOOL
PRINCIPALS
ANNUAL MEETING OF ASSOCIATION
TO BE HELD THIS WEEK.-IN.
TERESTING PROGRAM
PROF. COON Will SPEAK

Raleigh, n. c., an. 23.-The North
Carolina Association of City School
superintendent and Principals will
hold its twenty-sixth annual meeting
in the city of Raleigh on January 26,
27 and 2Sth. The place for holding
it's sessions will be the city High
School auditorium. This organization
for quarter of a century has proved
most potent factor in shaping the
educational life of the STATE, bringing
with it uniformity, organization and
strength.
1t was organized in 1885. At that
time it's membership consisted of a
mere handful of the more progressive
city school men in the State, some of
whom were such men as NJ. c. S.
Noble, then superintendent of the Viii
mington Schools; E. A. Alderman, of
Charlotte; E. p. Moses, of Raleigh,
and p P. Claxton, of Asheville These,
together with few others, used to
meet annually during the Christine
holidays in the city of Raleigh for an
evenings discussion of school pro-
blems and methods of teaching.
From this handful of a half dozen
men it has grown into well organized
ohkar~c h IN Of
progressive and interested workers in
the great field of public education
From "a purely informal gathering, of
| which there was no record kept of
| the proceedings, it has grown into an
| organization of such Importance that
| it now consumes from two to three
days with specially prepared pro
gram touching upon every phase of
graded school work, such as admins
I tration, supervision, courses Of
study, etc.
A glance at the names on the pro-
gram is proof that the order of work
| to be done at the coming meeting will
| be of a high order of excellence, and
will be not only interesting, but con-
structive and able.

IS
OPPOSED
MONTANA SENATOR AGAINST d.
RECT VOTE OF PEOPLE TO
ELECT SENATORS
AIMED AT THE SOUTH

Washington, Jan. 23-In language
so plain that sometimes it was bit
ter, Senator Carter, of Montan, op-
posed the adoption OF the resolution
as reported by the Senate Judiciary
Committee providing for election of
Senator by popular vote He charged
Northern Senators who support the
resolution with ignorance and South
ern Senators with attempting to sad
die upon the country constitutional
disfranchisement of negro voters
Mr. Carter claimed that the question
of electing Senators by direct vote
and of taking out of the constitution
the right of Congress to make any
law or regulation for the protection
of senatorial elections against fraud,
violence or corruption were so indis-
so1uby united in the resolution that
the people at the polls could not sep
arate them in order to express their
choice He contended that the resO-
luton when sent to the. Committe on
Judiciary carried only the simple pro
position of having Senators elected
by direct vote and that the other pro-
position had been adopted as rider
in order to get the support of Sena-
oixy fo ic10
lures he right of disfranchising ne
groes.
"Tne occasion demands plain
speech and forbids evasion" said Mr..
Carter He said that certain Sena-
tors, mot content with the success
obtained in suppressing the negro
vote through various variety of
State constitutional provisions and
legislative Devices now seek abso-
lutely to deprive the general govern
ment of all power to protect the cleo
ton of members of the Senate from
such fraud, violence or corruption
as may taint a senatorial cleo ion
North or South He said that the
adoption Of the amendment would
give substantial, though limited, ma
tional sanction to the disfranchise
ment of negroes in the Southern
States.
"In their disfranchisement," said
Mr.. Carter, 1--WE now passively ac
quiesce, but with this supine attitude
some Senators are not content; they
ask us actually to strip Congress OF
the power to question election meth
| DDS and actions in so far as the elec
ton of United States Senators may
be concerned, and by the way of in
| ducement to the Congress and the
nation to consent to the permanent
suppression of more than a millior
votes at elections to choose Senators
they will cooperate in the adoption
of a constitutional amendment pro
| viding for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote O

EWART INTRODUCES BILL TO In
VESTIGATE TRUST LANS--A
PROHIBITION MEASURE
A CHILD LABOR Law ACT

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 23.-Mr. Hamil-
ton G. Ewart, Republican, the doughty
representative from Henderson coun-
ty in the House, punctuated the pro-
ceedings of that body today by intro
ducing a House resolution calling for
the appointment Of five members of
ed with the powers herewith invest
ed, to investigate and report to this
House the truthfulness or falsity of
the reports which are so persistently
printed in certain newspapers and
otherwise given currency by rumors
to the effect that the present trust
laws" of this State are pro-trust and
not antitrust, in character, and that
the law is being daily violated, espe-
cially by the tobacco trust, etc., and
if so why these violators Of the law
are not prosecuted like other robbers
if guilty Of like offences.
The resolution requires that the At
torney General shall act as prosecu-
tor for this committee, which later
is given leave to draw warrants
through the Auditor on the State
State Treasurer for money to defray
expenses. 1t was referred to Judi
ciary committee No. 1 by a viva voce

Shives, Blanchal. Wis and Smith,
some OF. these, er with Messrs.
F. A. Woodard ant 3. F. Lane, deliv-
ering earnest and eloquent addesses
on the subject under discussion.
The meeting was opened with
fervent prayer from Rev. Mr.. Shive,
while the lesson was read by Mr..
Spiegel from the 14th chapter Of Ro-
mans: "Let US therefore be subject
to the higher authority"
Mr.. blanchard then stated the
purpose and object of the meeting,
his remarks being very appropriate.
He said among other things that
the meeting was not so much for the
purpose of insisting that the Legisla=
ture shall do certain things, for the
members of the Legislature were
Christian gentlemen imbued with the
desire to inculcate the civic virtues,
but to encourage them in the good
work already under contemplation
and to let them know that we stood
behind them which it is our duty to
do in this matter as in all others af-
fecting the welfare of the people and
the cause of religion.
Therefore the resolutions to the
LEGISLATURE would embrace the near
beer saloon, the drinking club and an
interstate commerce act regulating
the jug trade in prohibition territory.
The resolutions we're then read by
Mr. Shive, who made some comments
on the necessity for putting the near
beer saloon out of the way that
thwarted the purpose of the prohibi-
ton law.
Hon. F. A. Woodard followed, hear
lily endorsing the resolutions and
urged the eradication Of the near
beer saloon He stated the prohibi-
ton law was as we'll enforced as any
criminal law on the statute books
and that if given a fair show it would
certainly result in great good for
the country.
Mr. B. F. Lane followed drawing
an impressive word picture of the
effect these places have upon the
young men swlfe would certainly not
look for them if they were not with
us.
Rev Mr.. Spiegel made an earnest
| talk supporting the resolutions. He
| emphasized the fact that the minis
ters were representative of the Lord
Jesus Christ and therefore it was
their duty to stay on the watch-tower
and lead the people in the right way
The people did not want these places
confron' ing them, and yet after see
ing them and becoming used to theil
presence quite naturally they exerted
their baneful Influence.
| Rev. Mr.. Shive then delivered q
short sermon on the subject, quoting
from the text that we are admonisheG
o live soberlY, righteously and godly
in this present, evil world, looking
unto Jesus, &c.
He stated the churches over the
State were holding similar meeting:
and there was a determination tt
clear up the ground that prohibition
might have a fair chance to asser
it's efficacy.
Mr.. e. G. Barnes then arose ant
moved that the resolutions be adopt
ed by rising vote, which was done
The benediction was offered b.
Rev. r. L. Davis.
