CEDAR FALLS MAN
GETS DOCUMENT

Cedar Falls, Feb. 13.-H. j. Pfeiffer
has just come into possession of a
most remarkable document which will
always be preserved in the archives
of his family. The story connected
with the paper is as romantic as a
novel. The document is the certificate
of the golden wedding anniversary of
the owners great grandparents, Helm
rich Pfeiffer and his wife Elizabeth
kiesel, who celebrated their golden
wedding day in Germany, Aug. IA,
1S4S The family record is carried out
with note of many items of national
historic interest, in the artistic scroll
marriage and it's fiftieth anniversary,
while there is also poem, all of which
is inscribed in gold leaf, in pure Ger.
man language, and is done by free
hand. 1t is wonderfully interesting
document as it conveys so much of
German history az well as family rec
ords and bears evidence of it's age
although it has been carefully pre-
served by it's original owners.
When the homestead of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer was dis
mantled that the home should be
RACED to make room for the new old
peoples home, erected as memorial
to Mr.. and Mrs. Pfeiffer and Mr.. and
Mrs. Merner, the articles of furniture
were distributed among members Of
the family circle and many things
were given to people who would ap-
preciate and enjoy them. A few days
ago woman living on State street,
brough: the valuable paper to Mr..
Pfeiffer saying that she had found it
in picture frame behind an engrav-
ing which had been placed over it at
some previous date.

the western or mountain section or the old North State. It will be recalled that the majority leader carried practically every county in this section when the presidential primaries were held In 1912. Buncombe county, of which Asheville Is the county seat, voted almost solid for Mir. Underwood for chief executive of the nation and would doubtless do so again today. North Carolinans expect still greater things of the distinguished Ala bama senator-elect.
 North Carolina oould show Alabama. and other states, too, few tricks In old time politics. Recently some 'big doings' have gone on In congressional affairs In this state. After battling for 41 ballots at congressional convention which last ed for four days and nights at Waynes- vile, Tenth district democrats failed to agree whether James NJ. GudSer, Jr, in- c1nbent should be returned to Wash ington or whether Robert R. Reynolds, circuit solicitor and 'almost' a Birming- ham man. should go to Congress As a result another primary is called for Au- gust to settle the dispute. The first pri- mary was held several weeks ago to se- lect delegates to the recent congressional convention. The convention failed. In the meantime Bull Moosers" and Taft republicans in this section-and be it re- membered they are numerous in the
  like they are in east Tennessee--are laughing at the dead-locked democratic situation regarding a congressman. The opposition to the democratic and con- servative party is made up Tn this sec- tion by such powerful politicians as United States Circuit Judge Jeter c. Pritchard. an ex-senator and an appointee of Colonel Roosevelt, and John ]. Britt, who served in the capacity of third assist ant postmaster general during the Taft administration of national affairs.
 Congressmen Webb. Kitchins, Pou twho Is serving his 16th year. and perhaps two or three others, will be sent back, but Congressman Faison in the Third district, has already failed to get endorsement for mother term and his fate promises to be shared by other national representa- ives.

Congressman kitchin for the chairman snlp or the ways and means committed, when Mr. Underwood retires from that distinguished position in March, 1915.
 Such was also the case with the friends of Congressman Webb. When President Woodrow Wilson announced that Chair man Clayton of the judiciary committee would get the toga of the late Federal Judge Tomas Goode Jones In Alabama. North Carolina again got in the political limelight. Result: The ways and means e ommittee few days ago agreed upon MT. Webb of North Carolina for the ju- dietary head MT. Webb, it will be re- called, Is of Webb anti-liquor shipping bill fame
 And there are other reasons why North Carolina political leaders have had their eyes focused upon the Alabama field of politics for the past few years. The late United States Senator Joseph F. John ston. it will be recalled, is a native of this state and he had friends in North Caro- nections are still here and therefore any neotions are still here and therefore any thing concerning Senator Johnston has been watched closely in these parts, And again. Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson also has relatives by the score in North. Carolina and as many friends and ac- quaintances. All of these things added to the interest manifested here in Alabama politics.
 North Carolinians say that they are sure to place this old state distinctively in the limelight, so far as national affairs are concerned, shortly With the retirement of Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee next year. and with the naming of Chairman Webb of the judi cjary committee now, they claim that they are going to succeed Alabama in political prominence. That, however, re- mains to be seen.
 With Editor Josephus Daniels of Raleigh in the cabinet, and real live wire in the official family of President Wilson, too; with Senator Lee s. Over nan being undoubtedly close to the White House; with Senator F. M Simmons be- hind the administration. and with pos session of two important chairmanshps in the upper house. Tar Heel folks say they will be "some runkins'' in the polit- ical Armament up Washington way soon
 MT. Underwood Is popular in North Carolina. Especially is this so in this,
