WATTS is COLLECTOR.

Happened.

Named and Confirmed Quicker
Than it Takes 10 Tell How It
Happened.
Washington, D. G., Especially
Austin D. Watts. of Iredell
county, was nominated by the
President and confirmed by the
Senate for the position Of collec-
tor Of internal revenue for the
Western district Of North Caro-
Ira. Only two formalities re-
main before be will take up the
position. He will have to give
bond for 100000. AS soon as
this bond is approved he will be
given his commission and sworn
as collector. Mr.. Watts will call
on Commissioner Osborn tomor-
row morning to arrange the de-.
tails Of his induction into Office.
Out of Difference for the two
North Carolina senators, the rules
OF the Senate were set aside by
unanimous consent and Mr.. Watts
was confirmed on the same day
his nomination was sent in. As
soon as his name was sent in, SEN
ator Simmons polled the mem
bers of the Finance committee and
found no objection there to imme-
date confirmation. Senator Over
man then moved unanimous con.
sent Of the Senate for the confr-
nation.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
secured the confirmation of A. O.
Blalock as internal revenue col
lector for the State of Georgia in
the same manner.
The present collector for the
Western district is George III.
Brown, of Statesville. The coll
lector has no fixed term, but serves
as long as it is the pleasure of the
President.
Nothing Against Anybody"
"Please say for me that [ am
very grateful to my friends and
that / have nothing against any
body" said Mr.. Watts soon after
he was confirmed.
Naturally am feeling good
ever the appointment"
Opposition to the nomination of
Mr.. Watts for the conectorship
was offset by endorsements from
the North Carolina senators and
all the representatives but one,
the governor of the State and
many others. Those who oppos-
ed him gave as their reason that
a member Of the State Leg
islature he had fought progress
sive legislation. The influence. of
Simmons and Overman,
the n chairman of the Senate
Finance committee, the other
chairman Of the Senate Committee
on Rules and ranking member of
the Judiciary committee, was
to bear successfully on
Secretary McAdOo, however, with
the result that the appointment
was made.
The sending Of a second list of
nominations, in which was the !
name of Mr.. Watts, was a sur
prise to those in the Capitol. The
President had already sent one
list of nominations, and usually
only one list day is sent in. 1t
is not the first time the routine !.
has been varied, however.
Beyond indicating their pleas
ure at the appointment and con-
firmation, neither of the North
senators would make any
statement tonight.

burg.
Grafton Given Young.
When General Young stepped for
ward to deliver his address, he was
greeted with wild enthusiasm, the
Union veterans, led by COMMANDMENT
Chef Beers, giving him three lusty
cheers and a tiger"
He took as his keynote the convic-
ton of each side in the great strug-
gle that each fought for a principle
which each beloved was the truth.
One of his opening statements was
that the Northern soliers deserved
more credit than the Southerners for
the PRONUNCIATION and successful real
ization of the present great reunion
which he characterized as the greatest
movement of its kind in the world.
This compliment to the Northern
veterans was greeted with loud cries
Of mo" to which General Young
quick replied. 81 know. better than
you do" His speech captured the
audience and he was overwhelmed by
-handshakes.
Among the two hundred guests on
the platform were Governors Mann,
Virginia; McCreary, Kentucky, and
Eberhardt, Minnesota; Senator PEN
rose, of Pennsylvania, and the follow
ing Confederate veterans:
Robinson, Texas! West, Georgia;
Thomas J. Shaffer, Louisiana; A d.
Williams, Florida E. NJ. Law, Florida,
and Carr, North Carolina.
The invocation was delivered by the
Rev. George Edwards Livejoy, chap
lain-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
The benediction was to have been
delivered by the Rev. II. M. Hamill,
chaplain general Of the Confederate
veterans, who did not appear.

Western Newspaper Union News Serv1cs.
 Atlanta, Ga.-With several slight changes in phraseology the Brief Statement of Belief" compiled by a special committee, was adopted by the Southern Presbyterian Assembly. The adoption of the committee report came after an all-day discussion by a vote of 119 to 64.
 By unanimous vote, the General As sembly of the United Presbyterian church adopted a resolution intended 10 debar from schools supported by the government all denominational badges or uniforms. This resolution, which is to be presented to the presi- dent of the United States, was intro duced by Prof. J. A. Williams, occupy ing the chair of Biblical history of the Pittsburg Theological Seminary, Pitts turg, Pa.
 That the action of the Northern As scmbly in referring to a special com mittee the matter of negotiations with the Union Theological Seminary of New York with instructions to report back to the assembly fin 1914. cleared the atmosphere of threatened storm of considerable proportions is agreed by the commissioners.
 Another matter of importance was the adoption by the Northern Assem- bly, of the recommendations contained in the report of the Judicial Commis- sion on the Home Missionary Board matter. Investigation of the board was made by subcommittee of the Executive Commission upon represen- tations that the board has spent too much for supervisory purposes in pro- portion 10 the amount spent for home mission work.
 The report as adopted stated that while efficient work has been done. the number of synodical evangelists and field secretaries shall be reduced and competent home missionaries put il the field to work without supervision except by Presbyterian and Synodical Home Missionary Committees.

Stuffed Chickens to Increase Weight

New York,-Twenty carloads of live chickens, 1000 chickens to the car. were held in Jersey Clay because an gry jobbers refused to receive them. Scarcely a live chicken was handled by dealers during the day. The trouble arose over a recent complaint of job ems with 'weight-producing sands and gravel to make up for shrinkage sus- tained in transit. Until receivers agree to abandon the practice the dealers say they will boycott all live poultry. Ordinarily about 125,000 live fowls are handled daily.
