PLAN TO ADJOURN CONGRESS
 IS UPSET BY FILIBUSTER OF
 MEMBERS FROM COTTON BELT

washington, Oct 2sLSorrthern Sem ators yesterday won their fight to pre- vent final adjournment of Congress at this time. The leaders of both Houses planned adjournment for o'clock yesterday. The House early in the days session passed a, concurrent res olution for adjournment sine die at that hour and sent it to the Senate. Meanwhile word was sent to President Wilson that Congress was about to adjourn, and he hurried to the Capitol from the golf links to be present in the last moments and sign belalted bills.
 In the Senate the southern members who were fighting for the passage of CTS hlibustered again the adjournment resolution with such good effect that the hour of passed without g. vote having been reached on it. The fight for adjournment having been/ lost, both Houses adjourned until noon to- day Senators and Representatives generally had made all arrangeme ments for leaving for their homes last night, and the great majority of them went, twithstanding the failure to adjourn sine die, leaving both House and Sem ate without a quorum. To get them back will require the services of ser geant-at-arns to round them up at a distance, and even then they would be at the mercy of another flfbuster.
 Leaders of both parties in Congress last night admitted that the southern CTS who prevented adjournment sine die had absolute control of the sftua- ton and could hold Congress. here, if they desired, until after election. Not until the Congressional contests are over will it be possible to obtain 9 quorum in either House.
 Senator Hoke Smith, leader Of the cotton flibusters. would not say today what the plans were for today. It is understood, however, tlat. flushed wtth the victory gained yesterday, the point of no quorum will be made in both Houses if an attempt is made to pass a. point adjournment resolution with out taking the demands of the cottor men into consideration Senator Hoke Smith said that all he contended fcl was time to act on the cotton ware house III and the proposed issue ot onds efore adjournment

8 recess until after election, with the understanding that Congress shall then act upon the pending propositions for the relief of the South. This is said by leaders of both parties to be the only way out of the dilemma in which Congress finds itself. Otherwise, each house must meet, and, If business can not be transacted adjourn for three days at time until such time as quorum returns to Washington.
 It was after they had been hope lessly involved in a parliamentary tangle thrown about them by the fdi- busterfng efforts of the Southern sen ators insisting on cotton legislation that the Democratic leaders late yes- terday afternon, after an exciting day in both houses, gave up and permitted both House and Senate to adjourn till noon today They did not surrender, however, before they had forced to adoption by large maiorities the con- ference report on the war tax bill. President Wilson in his room in the Capitol signed the war tax bill and 20 other measures.
 A spectacular feature of the situa- ton was a, dash by President Wilson in an automobile from the golf course to the Capitol to reach there in time to sign the war revenue bill before i adjournment. The President rushed into the capital followed by secret ser D. l golf. clothes, and without his reading
 glasses, he hastened to the Presfdent's s
 room, where the revenue measure,
 signed by Speaker Clark and Senator l Clarke, president pro tempore of the 1 Senate, awaited him. Borrowing glass
 es from Senator Hughes of New ter sey, the President signed the bill and
 several others waiting for him.
 Senators ran in and out of the Pres l fdent's room, holding their watches
 while Senator Martin vainlY sought to l have passed the resolution, which the l House had passed early in the day, I providing for an adjournment sine die
 at 6 o'clock. At every trun he was met by the ff1fbustering tactics of Sem I ator Hoke Smith, who demanded suc- l cessive roll calls on motions to ad- I journ until today, to reces until today.
 and to proceed to consideration of ex- | ecutive business. This kept the Sen
 ate busy until 6 o'clock, the clock in I the House having been turned back
 meanwhile in the hope that the Sen ate might pass the resolution. Thus the resolution then automatically died:

PREPARE FOR
 SUMMER VISITOR
European War Likely to Create Demand For Accommo-
 dations Here.

The war in Europe is almost certain to increase travel in this country next summer and will be to the advantage Of those who cater to the wants Of the summer visitors to prepare for it. Even though this t4tantic struggle is terminated before the travel season begins, which now seems unlikely, conditions in Europe will hardly be propitious for travel abroad and for the entertainment Of American tour ists.
 This means t1lst the vast army of Americans which every year has sail ed for a vacation abroad must seek recreation and rest in this country. Mot only should it lead to an appre- ctable increase in the number of wis ftors at hotels and summer boarding houses. bat it should also result in keeping in circulation here the na1l- lions of dollars which these A1neri- cans have taken abroad to spend ana so will make for the economic welfare of this country.
 The number of Americans who go abroad year after year for pleasure has been variousIy estimated. Some idea of it may be gained from the number Of cabin passengers landed ar the port of5New York in 8, single year. Tn 1912, for example, the figures snow that 146,915 persons arrived at NeW ork in the first cabin and 198,O41 in the second cabin, or total Of S44s 500. While Impossible to distinguish De- tween tourists and those whom o11si- ness took abroad, it is reasonable oo assume that the bulk of those return ing Americans was made up of pleas ure seekers It is estimated that the amount of money which this country may thus retain. next summer may De reckoned as between s100, ,0o0,O 900 and s2o0, 100000.
 With the number Of Americans. equipped with spending money, kept in this country next year there is the prospect of rich harvest for those run ming hotels and summer boarding houses, particularly in New England But unless present accommodations are enlarged before next summer there l is a. chance that many cannot be talk 1 en care of.
 New England may be expected tc l exert it's lure upon many of those kept home from abroad next year l With it's wonderful cppoTtun1t1eG fol

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
CONTEST is BRISK
Inter Class Rivalry Results in Good
Standings Being Mad. by
Participants.

Last Sunday the Christian Sunday
school had an attendance of Alb,
which is the largest attendance the
school has had since the contest with
the Baptist church nearly a year ago
For sevsral months the school has
been having an average attendance Of
more than twice what it was a year
ago.
Some of the classes in the schooE
have entsred into a friendly rivalry
for the purpose of ascertaining which
class could excel it's average attend
ance most for the five months proceed
ing Dec smber /, 1918. In this confess
each class was pitted against every
other class in the group twice. The
class excelling it's record most for the
time specified was to win the CONTEXT
when it was pitted against each OF
the other classes as specified. AS a
result, the Rose Circle class Of girls
taught by Mrs. Roscoe Lows was vic.
torious. The class was in twelve
contests, winning ten and losing oniy
two, thus giving them a percentage
of .S33. The next highest was the Be.
rean class, taught by Rev. R. w. LIZ

ley, which won seven contests and
lost five, thus giving it percentage
|cf .5S1. The Carnation class, the
mems class, and the Pauline class tied
flor third place, each having won six
icontests and losing six. The Bethany
|class, taught by DR.. H. H. Stafford.
von five of the contests and lost sew
len which gave it fourth place, and
the Puritan Maiden class, taught by
Miss Ver1nillion, stood fifth, having
won two contests and lost ten.
This has proven most interesting,
and only once or twice did any of the
classes go below the average attend
ance for the five months preceding
December list. The classes have TAX
en- great interest in this friendly Tiv-
airy and are now putting forth spe-
cial effort in the contest with Burling-
ton. The local Sunday school won the
contest with Burlington last Sunday
by twenty-four points. Burlington has
proven a worthy foeman, and that
school has been victorious in a num-
Der of other contests. The local con-
gregation will put forth every effort,
however, to see that it does not carry
off the banner in the contest with
the local school.

CHILDREN RAISING
COUNTY BUSINESS
Widows Pension Law in State Has
Imposed Burden on the
Supervisors.

Under the widows pension act Of
the last legislature each county in the
state has the privilege OF putting
fatherless children upon the county
payroll. The widows pension act pro-
vides way whereby a widow with
children under fourteen years Of age
may, through court procedure, get
an allowance of not over $500 per
month for each child until it has
reached the age of fourteen. Twenty
eight Lee county widows have taken
advantage Of this law and fifty-nine
children are receiving allowances
from the county.
The law has only been in effect six
months, but already the county has a
payroll Of S435 monthly for the father
less. The presen fifty-nine children
average six and one-half years Of age
leaving the present list to run seven
and one-half years. This means that
at the present rate, $435 per month
or 1920 per year, the county has con-

The figures cover only the first six
months of the year. If the present
percentage continues, and the number
of pensions granted are as many as
they were during the last six monthA
one-half years are UP, have an annual
expense account for embarrassing
of approximately $4,000.
