Rev. r. L. Davis, of Prohibi-

of propriety in a statement
made to the press the other day
and the newspapers of the State
are proceeding to call him down
with unparalleled unanimity,
Brother" Davis it seems was
peeved over the adverse votes of
Congressman Pou and Small on
National Prohibition. He just

thirsted for revenge and so de-
clared to the world with the re-
suit that friends and supporters
of these two congressman have
proceeded verbally to wipe up a
good section of the State with
the good mans carcass. His
lame and hating recantation has
served very little purpose either.
Whatever Brother Davis has
learned from the incident, he has
at least reason to presume that
he is far from political leader

The news item carried on
another page relative to a sue
cessful field of tobacco raised in
this community offers food for
reflection for every farmer in
this section. Tobacco cultivation
is more profitable on the average
than cotton growing and a diversi-
hcatlon of the crops in this sec
ton would be an unmixed bless
ing. If the cultivation of tobac-
co is begun on a scale extensive
enough to warrant the same, the
farmers may depend upon a
tobacco warehouse in Roanoke
Rapids.

Railroads Prepare to Carry Out lnsur-
ance Plan For Trunks.
On and after June all persons who
check trunks on railroad tickets will be
obliged under the provisions of the
Cummins act amending the interstate
commerce laws to declare the value of
their baggage. and the baggagemaster
"a man of many troubles-is beginning
to suspect that he Is due for an un-
usually unhappy summer.
The railroads now carry trunks and
other baggage not exceeding $50
pounds in weight free with tickets of
transportation and assume liability in
case Of loss or damage UP to 500. They
declare they can not assume unlimited
liability as permitted under the Cum
Minis act, but will accept the alternative
of assuming the 800 liability on each
piece Of baggage checked and insuring
the passenger for all over that amount
on a basis OF 10 cents per 800. the
rate laid down by the Interstate COM
merce commission.

but turns up later and 1t Is found that
a $500 diamond ring is In the trunk, the
owner Is liable to go to jail. It Is equal
ly an offense to overestimate the value
OF baggage.
Railroad officials whose work will DO

believe that passengers will be tickled
over the necessity Of taking time to 20

alton setting forth tho true value of
the contents of trunks, particularly II
it Is near train time and another train
isn't due for several hours. It is ex-
,pected they will urge tho travelling pub
lic to go to the station early and avoid
the rush.
It is comparatively easy t. check a

difficult for many passengers to make

worth, and delays probably will try

The hulk Is within ,twenty-four feet Of

Naval officers said the hole was
probably caused by the constant
pounding of the hulk on the ocean
bed In the heavy seas Of the past
few days. Another theory is that the
hole was caused by explosion which
wrecked the submarine and brought
quick death to the crew.
