DOUBT If STACY WILL RUN
Friends Believe He Will Remain ON
Bench Rather Than Run for Con-
gress 2 Years Hence

N a recent issue of The Robson
ian was published an article from
the Wilmington Dispatch in regard
to a probable opponent Of Repre-
sentative Goodwin in the person Of
Judge W. P. Stacy two years hence.
The following further interesting
article about Sixth district polite:
d rtaken from the Wilmington Star
OF January 22nd:
"Friends Of Judge W. P. Stacy,
FThose name has been mentioned as
= possible candidate two years hence
FOR Congress from the Sixth district
doubt If he would consider leaving
the bench at that time to make the
race. They do not deny that there
is d possibility Of MS becoming a
candidate but point cut that in the
event that he did, it would be be-
cause he would feel he could render
d larger service bv 50 doing than in
the present official capacity.
Chose close to Judge Stacy be-
iieve he will remain On the bench for
The next several years and do nos
think he is giving any consideration
to the rumor3 that have been circu-
lated to the effect that he would re-
race for Congress.
eff Judge Stacy is giving any con-
Sideration to making the congression-
al race at any time in the future, he
has given no intimation of it. He
has been almost constantly engaged
with court duties since his appoint
ment as judge year ago ard is now
holding court at Greenville. No man
on the bench in North Carolina has
acquitted himself more creditably
than the Wilmington man He has
had to sit as judge in some of the
most important cases in North Caro-
lima during the past year and his de-
cisions have uniformly been so fair
and Just as to meet with general ap-
proval,
"a favorite pastime just now is
picking candidates to run for Con-
gress. but so far a. the Sixth dis
trict is concerned, there is very lit
tie of definite nature to base any
predictions upon. There are always
plenty of candidates in this district
and there will likely be no dearth of
them next time. Congressman God
win is expected, of course, to be a
candidate to succeed himself and who
ever may try for his place is sure
of q warm fight whatever the re-
suit may be.
N"As stated, whatever guesses have
been made that Judge Stacy would
run have been pure guesse5 and bas-
ed upon nothing definite in the way
of fact further than that Judge Stacy
is recognized as coed congressional
timber, who could represent the dis
trict with credit to himself and his
constituency.
"Friends of Representative L. Clay
ton Grant have suggested that he
wou'A make a good man for the place
They believe that he is we'll qualified
for the position and point to his rec
ord as one that entities him to rec
ognition. However, this is more guess
ing that is based upon nothing tan
2ible in fact. Representative Grant
is busy with his duties in the Legis-
allure and is giving no time tt
trIl5ing political fences"

Insist on Your Hens Weighing Heavy

Eggs
What do you think of the idea of
selling eggs by weight? That's what
thee do in the State of Iowa. The
weight Of eggs varies considerably.
For instance, the weight Of the doz-
ems Of eggs entered in the egg con
test at the store of Messrs. R. D.
Caldwell & Son last Saturday rang
ed from 20 ounces to 81 IL ounces.
You see from that that the man who
buvs a 20-ounce dozen eggs has II
1-2 ounces less egg than the man
who buys a 81 1-2-ounce dozen. One
MAN remarked Saturday that it did
mol cost any more to feed a hen that
lays 81 1-2 ounce eggs than it does
one that lays the 20-ounce eggs. II
eggs sold by the pound no doubt
poultrymen would make an effort tt
secure hens that lay large eggs.

APPEARED AT FUNERAL FEAST
Neighbors Got Something Of Shock
When Man Thought to Be Dead
Walked In on Them.

It Is said that some Of the subter-
ranean rivers that gush out Of caverns
and pour into the River Pinega, in
Eastern Russia, flow fifty or sixty
miles beneath the accumulated half-de-
cayed leaf mold of thousand years.
At place called Sofia they tell in this
relation a strange story.
1t appears that muJik, while cut
ting timber In the wood, had been swal-
lowed up In the tundra, as tie dense
mass Of vegetation is called. A party
was cutting virgin forest, when sud
denly this man slipped, cried out. and
sank from sight before the eyes of his
comrades.
It happened 60 quickly that there
was not time to save him. All gave
him up for dead. Prayers for his soul
were offered in church. But he was
not dead, after all. What was the sur
prise of the villagers when he turned
up ut his own funeral feast!
| He had fallen through hole In the
| bog into the led Of the underground
river, and had made his way In the
darkness along its course until he had
come to an opening and clambered out

Necessary Secrecy.

81 witnessed queer episode this
afternoon" said the city cousin who
was visiting In Wayoverbehind. "As l
was strolling past an alley l heard,
emanating from the open door of a
barn, such peculiar sounds that 1 was
moved to investigate. Peering In, l
discovered a portly man standing on
box, saving the air with elaborate
gestures and at the same time shout
ing defiantly and whispering hissingly.
And the strangest part was that he
was not saying an Ineligible word,
but was uttering meaningless babble,
like sHobbensy-gobbensy, shing, shang,
tandigo poor and so on"
"Oh, that's Hon. Heck Hooper"
replied the village cousin, "and that
jibberish Is q sort Of q cipher. You
see, he Is running for the legislature
and Is practiclng up new speech
which he expects to be sockdolager.
And he's afraid his opponents will
steal his well-chosen words before he
gets his grafton down pat."--Kansas

The Tariff After the War,

Senator Penrose will vote for the
revenue bill as war measure. He has
not modified or abandoned his tariff
views. They remain as before. And
naturally. Pennsylvania has profted so
much from protection-as, indeed, the
whole country has-he wants to see that
policy, in straight form, revived at the
earliest opportunity.
This, he told the Senate Monday. will
come after the war closes, when. as he
believes, the country will need protec-
tion more than ever to maintain itself
in the business conditions that will then
prevail.
While there is little tariff talk for
publication now, and no insistence that
any tariff legislation be enacted. the
subject has not lost its interest for the
politicians. Those for and those against
protection discuss the situation among
themselves, and both sides agree that
at the close of the war no subject will
attract more attention, or demand ear
lier or more comprehensive action by
Congress.
Indeed, if one cares to accept pre-
dictions from men Of authority in eco

The United States is not concerned
especially in the questions Of indemni-
ties and reparations involved in peace
terms, proposed or contemplated. What
does concern it, in all the talk Of peace
making, is that Germany must be put
in a position from which she cannot
strike US in the future effectively. It
is all we'll enough to talk about a peace
that will leave no animosities, but, in
truth, "there amt no such critter." This
war will leave bitterness in the hearts
of millions of people, and that bitter
ness will burn to the point Of desire
for revenge on the part Of the beaten
side. If Germany is triumphant moth
ing can save the other powers from her
domination. If Germany is beaten she
should be put in a condition Of impo-
tence for future aggressions. The
United States is vitality concerned on
that score.
