mons Record.

The Reidsville Review, in speaking
of literature being received from
Washington under the frank of Sen
ator Simmons says:
''The Review likewise received
a batch of the literature which
was sent with an accompany note
by Senator Simmons. We do not
like to appear as being discour-
teous, but we have no patience
with the position of the North
Carolina Senator on reciprocity,
and we have not become recon-
ciled to his vote for Lorimer.
And furthermore, We are eter-
nally weary of seeing this State
represented in the United States
Senate by a man who is constant
ly voting for propositions that
cause Democratic newspapers to
apologize, and We are disguised
at the necessity which the Sen
ator finds of sending literature
all over the State to convince
Democrats that his position op-
posing Democratic measures is
the correct one"

Two Months To Get Jury.

Los ANGELES. Oct. 2l.-A jury In
the Mcnamara murder trial by Janu.
sry, l, 1912, was the prediction made
today by Attorney Clarence S. Dsr-
row, chief counsel for the defense.
With no court session oday, oppos.
ing council took opportunity to clear
up the tag ends of the first complete
court week in the trial OF James B.
McNamar ara for the murder of Charles
J. Haggerty in the Los Angeles Times
explosion.
Attorney Darrow's statement was
based, he said, partly upon progress
made thus far, which shows three
talesmeu in the jury box subject to
perempsory challenge, but more upon
the opposition manifested by talesmen
to inaction of the death penalty on
circumstantial evidence, or in some
instances, under any conditions.

while the people may be aroused to
sound and high thinking and their
legislative and executive officers to
try and carry out their purpose, yet
the whole movement for good may
