tense interest with which this game is
played at Highland Lake. The tour
nament lasted three evenings. On the

POLITICIANS ARE WORRYING.
Political Fences Need Attention and
$50 Per Day Forfeited by Absence

Washington The North Carolina
delegation in Congress and other mem
bers from the Southern States have
certainly got the bulge" on their
Northern brethren on account of the
prolongation Of the present session of
Congress. While the members from
the South, after they have been re-
nominated at their respective primary
elections, have practically nothing to
fear so far as their reelection is con
cerned, the Northern Democrats not
only have to make a bitter fight fo-
denomination, but they are likewise
compelled to make a second contest
in order to be reelected. This is the
case at least in the close districts of
the north, and there are a large num-
Der of them.
The present session, however, has
played havoc with the plans of North
ern Democrats who realizing that they
have a bitter contest ahead of them,
have been unable to- return to their
homes to straighten out their fences.
The Democratic leaders, needing the
ADVICE of President Wilson, are deter
mined to. keep a quorum in Washing
business. The European war has
brought on more work for the legisla-
tors, and there will be very little if
any opportunity afforded for Northern
Democrats to get back home in time
to make any extensive campaign
They will have to resort to letter writ
ing and other methods in order to
plead their cause to their constituents.
Then, too, if they are absent from
Washington without good and suff1-
Gent cause, under a resolution adopt
ed by the House, they must forfeit
their salary of $2564 a day for each
day absent from the National Capital.
Some of them are inclined to believe
this is imposing an additional hard
ship upon them, but others are taking
the whole matter philosophically and
are willing to remain here to dis
charge their official duties and to carry
out the Democratic program mapped
out by the President and congressional
leaders.

o Max Gardner of Shelby and Edgar

hated by the thirty-third senatorial
convention at Rutherfordton yester-
Gay. These men had received the en-
dOrsement of their respective counties
and as the counties composing the dis
trict alternate in the selection of men,
there was little before the convention
clamation,
Ex-senator T. T. Ballenger of Polk
placed Mr.. Cloud in nomination and
ex-senator James Carson of Ruther-
ford named Mr.. Gardner.
Mr.. Cloud made a ringing speech Of
fifteen minutes, reviewing briefly but.
Interestingly the strides of Democracy
IL recent years. His address was en-
Enthusiastically cheered by the audience;
MIR. Cloud is unassuming in manner,
but giant on the platform. He is
heightened Christian gentleman and
las always been foremost in the cam
-paigns of his county. He is conserva-
tive in his views and the district is
safe in his hands.
The following executive committee
was elected: Cleveland county, D. z

WORK AHEAD FOR LEGISLATURE.
Insurance and State Highway Com.
missions May be Established.
raleigh News and Observer.)

(Ralelgh News and Observer
Already the people are beginning to
talk of the different laws to be enact
ed by the next legislature.
A gentleman who has been nominal
ell for a seat in the next Senate and
who, living in a strong Democratic dis
trfct, is sure to be elected, was in the
city yesterday and stated that Dill
would be introduced to establish an
Insurance commission modelled along
the lines of the present Corporation
Commission.
This new commission would have
entire supervision of insurance in the
State, including fire, life, accident ana
other forms of insurance.
1t would investigate the rates II
force. commissions paid to agents ana
anything else coming up within the
range of insurance.
1T is believed" said the future Sen
ator, that the people of the State are
paying out entirely too much money
for protection from the insurance COM
panies and commission will De Ill
position to get all these matters ad-
iusted on an equitable basis"
Another commission that is likely
to be created by the next Legislature
is that of a State Highway ComlnlS-
sion to take charge of the building
and improving the roads of the STATE
A number of counties in the otate
have highway commissions which nave
been very successful and it is belleVeo
by many that State commission moo
eled along the same lines will prove
OF untold benefit to the Common
wealth.

1OIdl.s 'P4O.Rc
1t will be remembered that accord
ing to the plan outlined for the chain
of entertainments that each guest &C
cepting an invitation brings contri-
button of Is cents and agrees to enter
tain, inviting three or more guests to
dc likewise, thus keeping up the chain.
Those who have entertained once
can accept other invitations, taking
the required contribution but not being
required to entertain again. The hos
tesses are urged to make it point to
secure at least one or more guests
who have not yet entertained, so as to
keep the movement going. There is
no time limit to the plan, it being the
intention to keep up the chain of en-
tertainments until everybody has been
given an opportunity to take part.

The plan for raising funds with

Gated in the Democrat lastweek seems

some who have been considering pro-
rosed methods for helping the institu-,.
ton.
The entertainment plan is working
to perfection in Gastonia, as will be
seen from two reports below taken
from the Gastonia Gazette:
The progressive series of library ell
tertainments or Fendless chain OF IL
brary parties, the first of which were
held by a number of ladies on Tuesday
of this week, as chronicled in The Ga
zette, is already creating very graf
ifying enthusiasm for the cause and
proving a most thorough success. Be-
sides the ladies who entertained Tues
day, whose names were published in
the last issue, the following have en-
tanned this week: Mrs. J. Lander Gray,
Mrs L. F. WetZell, Mrs. S. N. BOyce,
Mrs. P. r. Falls, Mrs. B. T. Morris
Mrs. H. M. Eddlernan, Mrs. ]. Fl. Jenk-
ms, Mrs. S. A. Robinson, Mrs. E. P
Rankin, Mrs. B. F. Ormand, Mrs. H. F
Glenn and Mrs. w. ]. Clifford, Misses
Nancy Rankin, Annie Clifford, Myrtle
Warren and Lucy Wilson. If any 9TH
ers have entertained, the omission of
their names from the above list is due
to their failure to report the fact to
the committee, of which Mrs. ID. A.
Garrison is chairman. Several of the
ladies whose turns to entertain will
come next week are planning different.
forms of entertainment which will add
to the interest Of the series. Some, i
is said, will give automobile parties as
variation from the ordinary form OF
!, entertainment The committee having
the series in charge is very greatly
pleased at the zeal and enthusiasm
with which the plan is being carried
out and and are already assured that
the movement will be success and
accomplish the object in view, the Sc
curing of sufficient funds for the 1915
magazines for the library.
