returned to Washington last
week, after a few d ays at his
home, introduced q resolution

food sufferers in western North
Carolina, the money to beexpen.
ded under the direction of the
Secretary Of War. The Wash
ington correspondent of the
Greensboro News says:
Mr.. Doughton decided to in
troduce the resolution after a
conference between himself and
Representatives Page and Webb.
All three are OF the opinion that
something must be done to aid
the people OF the western part Of
the State and decided they would
have the resolution introduced
and use their influence to have it
passed. They realize, however,
that it is going to be a hard job
to get such a measure through
Congress, as Minority Leader
Mann of Illinois is almost sure
to make an objection, which
would result in it's defeat.
Mr.. Doughton says it is simpos-
sible for anyone to estimate the
damage done by the floods in his
section OF the State. He said it
was so great and so far beyond
the human imagination that the
people have not yet been able to
realize just what has happened.

A BACKWARD STEP.

A dispatch from Macon says
that the new board Of supervisors
of Noxubee county decided to
adopt a policy of'rigid economy,
and the first action taken was to
abolish the office of county DEM

That's mighty poor economy.
In fact. it isn't economy at all,
but just plain downright foolish
ness. ..D.1
