NEW YORK'S
 ''KID MAYOR"

John Purroy Mitchell, New York's 'kid mayor" will pass his thirty-sev- enth milestone today, as he was born in New York on July 19, 1879. The youthful chief executive of Americas greatest city was only thtrty-one when he had his first experience as mayor. As President of the board >of alder men, he had full power as mayor for a time in 1910, when Mayor Gaynor was disabled by an attempt upon his life. MT. Mitchell is grandson of John Mitchell. an Irishman who took part in one of the rebellions in the Emerald Isle and was banished to Australia From him, perhaps. he in- herits that belligerent and indepen- dent spirit which has made of him a lighting mayor" and which has late- ly brought him into conflict with some of the Catholic clergy of New York. as result of the Mayors de- termination to effect reforms in the conduct of the religious charitable institutions of the city. The youthful mayor also inherited his hatred of Tammany Hall, for his mother was greatly influenced by her brother, the late Henry D. Purroy. .one of the un- compromising foes of Tammany in other days.
 Mayor Mitche1's political career covers just a decade, as it was in 1906 that he entered upon his office-hold- ing career as assistant corporation counsel. As student at St. John,s College and at Columbia University young Mitchell was chiefly noted for his ability as a debater. Almost from the beginning of his public career MT. Mitchell became noted as municipal house cleaner. and his trail was mark ed by the looping off of political heads. As president of the board of al- dermen he was active in the subway problems then agitating the people of New York to whom the business of getting from where they are to where they ain't" without having ito initiate the humble sardine is one of the most expressing of life. In 1913 he was appointed collector of the port of New York, and made a successful | race for the fusion nomination aa mayor. He made a whirlwind cam paign. and when he came to file his statement of personal election ex- penses it was found that the largest
 sum went to a former pugilist who
 was engaged in keeping the young
 candidate in fighting trim. A three
 round bout every morning equipped
 him for the task of "wading into" St
 Tammany. and on election day he put
 over the knockout.

Eight persons were said to have bene drowned at Bat Cave. Loss to railroads industrial plants and agri- cultural interests in North and South Carolina, has mounted into the mill lions, and it may be weeks before the transportation system is restored.
 Nearly all passengers marooned since Sunday on trains in this section had been removed today, however, and in many localities repair work was be- ing rushed and thousands of cotton mill spindles were beginning to turn again.
 Conditions in Virginia and West Virginia were almost normal today and great loss was not feared to the coast section of South Carolina.

A Word on
 Sales

Do you know that a sale reflects the charac- ter of a store? It's a fact.
 Glance through your paper-note the style of announcement of each sale advertised = then compare the advertise ment with the store as you know it. You'll find that the advertise ment draws a pretty ac- curate picture of the store.
 An overdraft on ad- jectives is apt to fore cast a shortage of values.
 A glaring, haring' call to a sale is likely to lead to swearing customers.
 A plain, everyday statement of fact is evil dence of reliable values and Straightforward bus mess methods.
 You pay your money and take your choice," as the old saying has it -yod must abide by your own judgment in bestowing your patron age on a sale-and you take the consequences of misplaced confi- dence.
 Meigs & Co. sales have been carried on in this city twice a year for over twenty-eight years.
 The July Clearance Sale now on is one of a long series of sales which have added to the confidence of the public in our store and in our methods.
 Satisfaction or money back has been our rule
  continuously, sale time and all the time.
 Your patronage is cordially invited.

CONGRESS PROBE PRICE OF PAPER

Washington, July 22.-Ncwspaper publishers throughout the country were invited today by the federal trade commission to be represented at a hearing here on August 1, on whether there has been an undue in- crease in the price of news print pa per. The commission will conduct an exhaustive investigation, of which the public hearing will be the first step.
 The investigation was ordered by a resolution of the senate.
 The commission has sent word to 2,OO0 daily newspapers and 4,OOO weekly papers asking those who can not appear to submit any information they may have in writing. The com mission wants specific information of prices, quantities and any other facts bearing on the increase.
 Financial agents of the commission are now examining the accounts of paper manufacturers in the United States and Canada to determine the cost of production, profit, terms of sale and other questions. Other in vestigators are seeking information from jobbers on cost of distribution. The extent of the increase, if any, in the foreign demand for news print paper, and whether war conditions have affected imports of wood pulp and paper also are to be studied.
 The commission expects to report to the senate by October 1.

 to Re- enter Mexico.

Fl Paso, Tex, July 22.-Ernest Fleager, wanted in connection with the wrecking of the banking house of C.. N. Fleager < Co. at Jacksonville, Tex, 15 years ago, was arrested here last night while trying to get back into Mexico.

 The Fleagers were traced to Mexi- co, where the father and the older brother later died. Ernest Fleager went to San Diego, Cal, as a refugee during the recent war scare, and ar rived in Fl Paso few days ago under the name of Barton. He intended to return to Mexico by way of Eagle Pass.
 Here he was recognized by an old depositor and his arrest on an en- bezzlement charge followed.

ENGLISH RULERS
 TO VISIT CANADA

Correspondence of tho Associated Press )
 London, July 3.-Ehe appointment of the duke of Devonshire as gover- nor-general of Canada may be re- garded as forerunner of the kings determination to make tour of Canada with the queen as soon after the war as possible, according to the London correspondent of the Man chester Guardian.
 Reference is made to plans by the king to visit Canada during the duke of Connaught's tenure of office, the assertion being made that they were cut short by the outbreak of the war.
 The duchess of Devonshire is not only mistress of the robes of the queen, but is one of her closest inti- mates. She was, before her marriage, Lady Evelyn Mary Fitzmauricee, daughter of Lord Lansdowne. She is a great social favorite and one of London's most popular hostesses: Both @ ttl she and the duke have many friends in Canada, where they have visited more than once.

 FOR THE DORT CAR

s. c. Veil has completed arrange ments whereby he has obtained the agency for the DOrt automobile in this territory MT. Well has already received a dcmonstratls n car, and within the week expects two carloads of these mach nes to arrive for him.
 An interesting fsatute of the Dort car to which MT. Veil yesterday called attention, is the fact that it is partly a Pine Bluff product, the spokes used in these cars being made in this ,ity. The Dort company uses much 2 the product of the Pine Bluff Spoke company, for it's cars, and because . this i+ is expected Pine Bluff ne ple will watch the pro- gress of the car with interest.
