Uneasiness for the safety Of Amer

SENATOR SIMMONS
OUT ON WAR PATH.
UsURPATIoN OF LEGISLATIVE
AUTHORITY BY DEPARTMENTS
AND BUREAUS MUST STOP.
COTTON PRICES ENDANGERED.
Hereafter Action by Any Department
Calculated to Hold Down or Lower
Prices Will Be Looked Into.

| NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Simmons fill
ed his ammunition bag with hand
grenades and went after officers Of
government bureaus that are med
ding with cotton. The war trade
board aroused his ire.
Senator Simmons served notice on
the floor of the senate that the usur-
patton of legislative authority by ex-
ecutive departments and bureaus had
to cease.
One of the particular things which
aroused the senator, was a report
that Germany is, at this time, very
anxious to purchase, Immediately
upon the signing of the peace treaty,
very large amount of cotton, per-
haps as much as one million five hun
dred thousand bales. According to the
report, one of the executive depart
ments or bureaus contemplated issu
ing certain orders that would restrict
Germany's purchase of cotton to small
quantities at a time, at periodical
dates.
Senator Simmons is determined
that hereafter any action of any
department calculated to hold down
the price of cotton and restrict the
freedom of trade in this great south
ern staple, shall be subject to the
closest scrutiny and any unauthorized
attempt to lay restrictions upon the
cotton market should be called
promptly to account.
At the conclusion of Senator Sim
mons speech, in a colloquy which he
had with Senator Fletcher, of Florida,
it was disclosed that in the matter of
freight rates between American ports
and the foreign ports the South Allan
tic States are very grossly discrimi-
mated against. Senator Simmons
dander is up.

Uniform System of Collecting
To Be Adopted June LIST

for the convenience Of those whs
might prefer to pay at office rather
than to remit by mail. The sub.
scriber would have plenty of time
to check up his toll calls and paw at
his convenience any time during the
month. If it is not paid during the
month, the next bill mailed out
Will carry the arrears on it. This
second bill, carrying arrears, would
be expected to be paid in full not
later than the 10th of the month
This maximum limit will be 40 days
from the date of the first bill: and
II payment in full is not received by
the expiration of this time the sub.
scr1ber will be told by the operator
when he calls central that his "serv.
Ice is suspended" Ordinarily toll
message accounts will be carried the
same as local service, as above ex.
planned; but under certain circum.
stances it will be necessary to col
lect toll messages on demand.
The foregoing plan of collectina
has been found best by those using

the whole country. It is approved
by the North Carolina Corporation

Il has been evident for some time
that our present methods Of col
1ecting were both Inadequate and
unsatisfactory. In the past we have
employed collector, but a large
number of our subscribers prefer to
pay at our office and regularly do
so. A great many, when interrupted
by the collector calling, will tell him
to leave his bill-that they prefer
to send a check by mail. A consid
cradle number make a special re-
quest of US to mail their bills to them
at the first of the month, which we
do. Others pay the collector on his
monthly rounds. The collector is
being detained now much more than
previously on account of the in
creased number of toll messages to
identify, so it is impossible for him
to complete his rounds. The Direc-
tors of the North State Telephone
Co., at recent meeting, adopted a
uniform system of collecting, the
same as is in general use by practi-
cally all telephone companies and
public utilities.
Under the new plan, beginning
June first, we will mail every sub
