Washington April 4.-The Sixty second congress met in extraordinary session today. What the session will bring forth in the way of legislation or when it will adjourn were matters on which no one in Washington cared to venture an opinion.
 Champ CIark's Warning.
 The democrats took full possession of the house and put Champ Clark of Missouri in the speakers chair In his speech accepting the honor, MT. Clark warned the democratic members that the party was on trial and that 1t had an opportunity for the first time in sixteen years to prove its worthi- ness for still higher expression of confidence by the American people.
 Throughout the day the shadow of the coming presidential campaign fell across the capitol. There is no ques- ton that manouevres for advantage next year will play an important part in the affairs of the house and the senate for the next few months
 Bryan and Harmon Present.
 William Jennings Bryan of Nebras- ks and Governor Harmon of Ohio were prorninsnt figures on the hoor Of the house during the opening ceremonies, and both sha1ed in the democratic demonstrations that marked the day. Had Governor Woodrow Wilson been
 
 democratic presidential possibilities would have been complete.
 The senare's opening was sedate, as usual While the leadership in the upper branch of the new congress re- mains in republican hands. the change in the personnel of those assuming command was almost as marked as in the house. Aidrich, Hale, Bcver1dge and a dozen others in both the regular and progressive factions of the major Ity were missing.
 Democrats Want to Revise Tariff. | President Tafts message. dealing with Canadian reciprocity alone. will be read in the two houses of congress tomorrow It was with the idea of ob- tafr.nK action on this agreement that the extraordinary session was called.
 The democrats of the house, how ever. have formulated an ambitious prcxrau,me. which includes the revis- ion of number of schedules Tn the Payna-AIdrich tariff law
 Reputyfican leaders of the senate have announced that there shaal-be no tariff legislation at the extra ses- don. They say they are not alarmed by the threat by the democrats 70 hoio back the reciprocity agreement until action is reached on several tarin tfils.
 Leo;slstive Deadlock Predicted.
 This difference of opinion promises soon to bring the two branches into sharp conflict. legislative dsadlock is freely predicted. and the length of tte session seems now to depend upon how long the democratic house VIII continue to bombard the republican senate with general legislative bills.
 From a political standpoint It IS likely that one of the most drnportane things the democratic house will do will be to order a thorough investlga- tion c< the various departments ana hrancbe- of the government service. The democrats contend that there have been no such investigations for twenty years and that much good campaign

Washington. April 4.-President Taft has decided to concentrate his atten- tion for the present upon reciprocity with Canada and it was indicated to- day that he will not attempt to ob- tain a permanent tariff commission at the special session of congress.

Correspondence Of the Gold Leaf.
Mr.. J. P. Mcmillan, q promi-
nent young farmer of Vance
county, gave a Halloween corn
shocking a few nights ago.
The young people Of the neigh
borhood gathered early in the
afternoon, the young men shuck-
ing the corn while the ladies
prepared a very appetizing old
time corn shocking supper.
Some of the older people know
what an old time corn shocking
means. This was an old time
supper with all kinds of good
things to eat and plenty of it.
Of course the young ladies did
their best, and the young men
showed their appreciation, you
may be quite sure.
There were three prizes given
for the ones getting the greatest
number of red ears Of corn. Mr..
George Burroughs won first
prize; Mr.. Sedrick Brame, sec
ond: Mr.. Fred Barker, third.
At $50 o'clock the corn was
shocked. and the young men re.
turned TO the house where the
young ladies were awaiting them
The jolly young people spent the
remainder Of the evening il
playing Halloween tricks.
At II o'clock fruit was served
after which all returned to thei1
homes. having spent q most en-
ioyable evening.

Plans are under consideration
for a dissolution Of the Seaboa~d

The first step in carrying out
the plan. it is learned. will be
the retirement OF toe So. $50, 600

board Company. Arrangements
for doing this have already been
made, it is understood, by the
sale Of about So, 500, 600 Seaboard

cate. These bonds are believed
to have been held in the treas
ury Of the Seaboard Company.

|. 5 per cent a year have been paid

ment bonds and money now in

be available to pay off the first

sue, plans will be undertaken

! lust what manner the latter viii
be accomplished has not yet beer
revealed. 1t is understood, II
fact, that plans for accomplish
ing this have not yet reached
