From Nesmith- Flowers Co.

About 5 o'clock Sunday morning
night policeman, Frlerson heard an
unusual noise in the rear of the large
warehouse of Nesmith-Flowers Com
pany, wholesale provision merchants
and upon crossing the railroad IN
search of the noise he found a two
wagon loaded with, flour, lard, canned
meats, cigars, rice, grits, and severa!
sacks of horse feed. The wagon had
pulled off from the warehouse, and
the noise heard by policeman Frler-
son was caused by the thief closing
the big warehouse door after filling
his wagon with a winters supply OF
provisions and luxurics. The night
being very dark Mr.. Frierson could
not see the driver, but called to him
to halt. The driver hearinE MIR. Fri
erson call ran, leaving his team and
stolen treasure. Mr.. Frierson took
charge of the team and drove it back
to the depot where he kept watch
over it until daylight. The mules and

WILSON GRATEFUL
FOR NOBLE AWARD
CRUSADE FOR PEACE ONLY BE-
GUN, HE WRITES IN AC-
.CEPTING PRIZE.

Washington, Dec. 10.-PresidenA
Wilson, in his letter accepting the
Noble peace prize which was read to
day at the presentation ceremonies at
Christiania, said:
ain accepting the honor of your
award, I am moved not only by pro-
found gratitude for the recognition a
my earnest efforts in the cause oe
peace but also by very poignank
humility before the vastness Of Tho
work still called for by this cause
May / not take this occasion b
express my respect for the farsighted
wisdom of the founder in arranging
for a continuing system Of awards?
If there were but one such prize, or II
this were to be the last I could not, of
course, accept it. For mankind has
not yet been rid of the unspeakabh
borrow Of war.
T am convinced that our generation
has, despite its wounds, made nCtsbb
progress. But it is the better part q
wisdom to consider our work as only
begun. It will be a continuing labor.
In the indefinite course Of years BE-
fore US there will be aboundant oppor-
tunity for others to distinguish them
selves in the crusade against hate aA&
fear of war.
There is indeed peculiar fitness
in the grouping Of these Noble
awards. The cause Of peace and the
cause of truth are Of one family. Even
as those who love science and devote
their lives to physics or chemistry,
even as those who create new AMI
higher ideals for mankind in htera'
ture, even so with those who love
peace, there is no limit set. Whatever
has been accomplished in the past =
petty compared to the glory and pre-
mise of the future"

BILL TO REPEAL
WAR Time Law
RESOLUTION is PASSED By
UNANIMOUS VOTE OF 323
IN THE HOUSE

Washington, Dec. 13.-Repeal OF
most of the wartime laws was voted
today by the House, which adopted
the Volstead resolution for that pur-
pose after two hours of debate.
The vote on adoption of the resolu-
ion was unanimous, 32S votes being
recorded as favoring it with none op-
posing. The House before taking the
final vote accepted an amendment pro-
viding for inclusion of the Lever food
control act among the laws which the
resolution would appeal.
The amendment, which covers all
provisions ct the food control act with
the exception of the section relating
10 rents in the District Of Columbia,
was offered by Representative Bland,
Republican, Indiana. It was carried
BY a vote of 179 to 1877.
The resolution, which now goes to
the Senate, exempts from repeal only
the trading-with-the-enemy act, the
war finance corporation act and its
amendments, and measures dealing
with the assurance Of liberty and, VIC
tory bonds.
The resolution declares "any act Of
Congress that by its terms is in force
only during the existence of a state
Of war and limited time thereafter
shall be construed and administered
rs if the present war terminated on
the date on which this resolution be-
comes effective.
The measure as adopted is practi-
eally identical with that passed by
Congress Just before the adjournment
Of the last session and vetoed by
President wilson.
Republican leaders of the House as
serted tonight that adoption OF the
resolution was one of the first steps
taken by the Republican majority to
fulfill the campaign pledge to put the
country on q peace-time basis.
Disposition of the Volsted resolu-
ton clears the way for consideration
of the resolution offered by Represen-
tative Reavis, republican, Nebraska,
which would provide for a congress
sional survey of the governments ad-
painistrative departments.

RELIEF IN SIGHT
FOR FARMERS
SENATE PASSES AGRICULTURAL
RESOLUTION FAVORING WAR
FINANCE CORPORATION

The Senate on Monday passed the
agriculture resolution directing the
revival of the War Finance Corpora
ton as a measure of affording relief
TO farmers.
The second section of the resolution,
which as introduced would have di-
rected the extention of liberal credits
to farmers by the federal reserve sys:
tenn, was amended to make the desira-
bility of such course only an express
sion of opinion of the Congress.
The amendment making the change
in the section of the resolution relat-
ing to the federal reserve system was
proposed by Senator Norris, Republi-
can, Nebraska, and was accepted by
vote of AZ to 16.
Another change made in the resolu-
ton on suggestion of Senator Smith,
Democrat, Georgia, broadened the
status of the finance corpors ton to
include the financing Of expectation
of products other than those produce
de on the farm. Amendments sub
mitted by Senator Harris, Democrat,
Georgia, to make the rate Of discount
on loans to farmers per cent, and BY
Senator McKeller, Democrat, Tenness-
see, to make cotton factors papers
eligible for discount, were rejected by
overwhelming votes. A substitute
for the resolution presented by Sen
ator Spencer, Republican, Missouri,
met a similar fate.
Final action on the resolution was
without a record vote. The measure
now goes to the House, where num-
ber of similar farmer relief measures
are pending.
The section of the resolution direct
ing the revival Of the War Finance
Corporation, as adopted read:
"The Secretary of the Treasury and
the members of the War Finance Cor
poration are hereby directed to revive
the activities of the War Finance Cor
poration, and that said corporation be
at once rehabilitated with the view OF
assisting in the financing OF the ex-
portation of agricultural and other
products to foreign markets"
The resolution as adopted refers to
the extension of credits as follows:
ut is the opinion Of Congress that
the Federal Reserve Board should
take such action as may be necessary
to permit the member banks Of the
federal reserve system to grant liber-
al extentions of credit to the farmers
of the country upon the security OF
the agricultural products now held by
them, by permitting the rediscount-
ing of such notes of extention at a
fair end reasonable rate of interest"
The Senate agricultural committee
during the day continued its hearings
with a view of framing other meas
ures looking to the relief Of the farm
ers from the conditions brought about
by falling prices.
The House received an addition to
its collection of relief measures in a
bill offered by Representative Young,
Republican, of North Dakota, propos-
ing an imbargo on imports of grain
and grain products, livestock, and
their products for one year.
