APPRECIATED
THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS TAKES
OFF HIS HAT TO HIS GOOD
FRIEND MIR. G.. S. WOOTEN.

The editor of the Argus has always
endeavored to keep out of the lime
light-through modesty, perhaps-and
it really took an effort to overcome
our modesty sufficiently to pen and
PLATFORM letting the people know
that we were willing to represent them
in Congress if they so desired.
We have had quite number of COM
mandatory letters upon our platform"
from friends, that would read we'll in
print-at least we think so; but we
took them as personal
however, now that we are "out of
the running" by reason of the fact
that we failed to put up, it may be
that our readers will pardon us for
publishing the following fattering let
ter received only today from our good
friend of life time, who is SO widely
known and esteemed throughout North
Carolina, Mr.. Council S. Wooten, of
LAGRANGE and Mt. Olive:
Mount Olive, N. c., May 5, 1914.
My dear Col. Robinson:-I read a
a few weeks ago your address to the
voters when you announced yourself
as candidate for Congress in the
Third district. 1t possessed the pro-
found wisdom of the philosopher and
the statesman, and was distinguished
for the perspicuity of its style, for the
elegance of it's diction, for the splendor
of it's rhetoric, for the chasteness Of
its language and for the refined taste
of the scholar.
You have no business in the dirty
arena of political strife, which is not
congenial to your tastes, for Shake
speare says, ''he had rather be toad
and feed on the vapors of a dungeon
than to be scurvy politician
But you ought to enter the field of
literature and Gull flowers from the
enchanted lands of poetry and rheto-
ric. You have the inventive fancy, the
romantic sentiment, the fiery imagina-
ton Of the Arabian poet and could
succeed as literary writer.
May God bless you.
Devoted1y,
c. S. WOOTEN.

Dear Sir:-In September of this
year will occur the Doth anniversary
of the birth of the "Star Spangled
Banner" and the achievement of Am

events were made possible by the sue
cessful defense of Baltimore against
the British, and that they may be fit
ting1y commemorated, we will hold
from September 9th to 18th, celebra
ton that will excel all others of like
character For more than a year, the
citizens of Baltimore have been work
ing diligently to complete plans that
are in keeping with the high dignity
of the anniversary Thousands from
all sections will come to our city tc
pay homage to the author and the
song that has never failed to thrill
with pride the heart of every loyal
American.
But while this gathering will be
great in numbers, throughout the land
there will be millions who will find it
impossible to come. It is only proper
therefore, that some steps should be
taken to make them feel that they
have part in the great national cele
bration 1t seems to me that no better
method could be adopted to bring this
about than to have the national stand
ard, the "Stars and Stripes, flying
over every public building, business
institution and residence in every city
during the entire celebration. To you
the Chief Executive Of your City, 1 ap
peal for cooperation, and feel sure
that the general use of the American
Flag during Centennial Week will not
only aid the cause of patriotism but
present to the world a striking picture
of the strength, purity and loyalty o.
which the Heaven born Banner" is

Representative Underwood C0nfers
With WilsOn-Thinks Necessary
Legislation Can be Fin
fshed by July First.

Washington, May 4.-After more
than a year of almost continuous
work, Congress is getting restless and
leaders in both Houses today began
an earnest effort to arrange the legis-
lative program so that adjournment
may be taken early in July. Majority
Leader Underwood, after a confer
ence with President Wilson, announc-
ed that in his opinion the House can
complete it's work on the necessary
appropriation bills and the other leg
islation which the President has in
sisted upon, long before July 1st.
The Senate steering committee held
a meeting and discussed the possibili-
ties of adjournment It came to no
decision, however, except as to the
appointment of subcommittee
which will be named by Chairman
Kern, to confer with House leaders
later in the week on this subject and
on the measures that must be passed
before the session ends.
: Although Senator Kern was hopeful
tonight that the program can be com
pleted by July 10th, other Democratic
leaders were mot inclined to share
this view and said that if the Panama
canal tolls repeal bill, the antitrust
bill and the rura credits bill, and the
usual appropriation bills are to be put
through the Senate, adjournment can
not possibly be arranged before Au
gust LIST.
These measures made up the "pro--
gram" which Mr.. Underwood announc-
ed the House could pass in time.
In the Senate the fight over the tolls
repeal bill can be said hardly to Lave
started. 1t was the business before
the Senate today for little longer than
an hour, and present indications are
that it will not be taken up in earnest
with day-long devotion to it until
Tuesday next. The most optimistic
Senators have predicted a two-weeks
debate On this subject alone, and it is
possible vote will not be taken for
three weeks.
The antitrust bill has not been re-
ported to the Senate. 1t has approved
by a subcommittee of the Interstate
commerce committee but several hear
ings are yet to be given to interested
parties and report is not looked for
at least ten days. After it's appear
ance many Senators expect to see g
debate of six weeks or two months on
it's proposed drastic provisions.
In the discussion the question O.
sudden Mexican developments has not
been overlooked. In the belief of many
Democratic eladers in the Senate, dan,
ger of war is not imminent. If there
were reasons to fear, war, however
when Congress approached the end o.
it's work. recess could be taken by
resolution of both Houses, until next
fall.
There was some talk today among
Democratic Senators of a party con
ference on the tolls repeal bill.
Senator Simmons, leader of tho
f,rces advocating repeal said tonight
Ipwever, that he did not believe such
+ u conference would be called. The
Question may be taken up by the steer
SQg committee Wednesday.
