Pittsburgher was on his feet and bat
Ting when the last bell changed. The
white champion tried desperately on
several occasions to put his man away,

in 20 rounds a few weeks ago.
McCarty fought a careful, heady
fight and looked good, even though
he was unable TO fiatten his foe. The

tough, but he does not stack up with

WILL PRESENT THE CURRENCY
BILL AND AWAIT VERDICT
FROM THE PEOPLE.
BELIEVES IN THE PEOPLE
President Believes Strongly That the
Country Will Back Him Up in His
Views That Currency System Should
Be Reformed.

Washington.-Publ opinion, the
sovereign voice in law making, is to
decide whether there shall be cur
rency legislation during The present
session of Congress.
This is the view Representative
Underwood, the representative leader
in the House, took after conference
with President Wilson at the White
House.
In the face of conflicting express
sions from prominent Democrats in
Congress as to the necessity for cur.
rency reform during the present ses-
sion, it is the avowed purpose of the
Administration to launch currency
bill in the House and Senate, which
will be accompanied Or followed by
the Presidents message describing
what he believes to be the necessity
for banking reform. Then, according
to Mr.. Underwood, the plan of the
House will be to rest on it's oars, and
await the expression of the newspa-
pers of the country. and the opinion

orally as to the merits of the Demo-
cratic proposals. Should the discus
sion of the bill in Congress be back
ed UP by an insistent demand from
the country at large for an immediate
revision of the currency system, it is
the belief of the Administration that
Senators and Congressman will yield
their pleas of personal discomfort in
the approaching hot weather.
The President believes strongly that
the country will back him up in his
views that the currency system ought
to be reformed so as to alleviate any
stringency that might follow the pas.
sage of the tariff bill. Representa-
tive Underwood, after his conference
with the President, said that while the
Democratic party had made UP it's
mind what ought to be done on the
tariff, currency reform was practically
a new question and it would be i'm
possible to predict how long the House
would take for a discussion of the bill

THE MONEY MUST BE SPENT ON
ONE ROAD OR CONTINUOUS
SECTION.
so SAYS P. O. DEPARTMENT
The Ruling Comes From Washington
as to How the Federal Appropra-
ton For the Sample" Road Must
be Used in This State.

Raleigh.-Points of the compass,
sectional pride, or even the voice OF
the governor will not be determining
factors for cause of distribution Of
the Federal appropriation Of $4,000
for road building in North Carolina,
to be equally distributed on three dis
tinct pieces of highways in the east,
west and central sections as was
once planned. A communication from
the postoffice department at Wash
ington to the executive department
here thwarts all plans so deemed, and
makes this provision for the appropri-
alton of the fund for road building,
that zone road or continuous section
of fifty miles in length on which one
or more rural delivery routes are ir
operation"
For" continues the letter to the
governor authorizing that the funds
are to be centered on one piece of
highway, ito divide the Federal al
lotment, and the states contribution
into several portions for the improve
nent of a number of disconnected
roads would not produce the results
desired"
This information, issued direct
from the postofice department in
Washington, which together with the
AGRICULTURAL department, has in charge
the expenditure of this money, will
have a tendency to Throw a damper
on more than one section of North
Carolina that had already pictured an
improved highway running by it's
very door Likewise will the news
cut short the food of petitions from
almost every community of the state
to the governor requesting prayer
fully that he remember their section
when the fund was distributed. Al
ready in fact ever since the news was
flashed from the national capitol that
North Carolina was to receive federal
aid in road building, towns in the
east, west and throughout Piedmont
Carolina have been active in bringing
all pressure possible to bear on Gov.
Craig to kindly remember them when
the distribution of the $4,000 was
made.
