Table manners at the time Of Chau-

recent editorial article on the birth
place of Jackson. and making refer
ence to the debate on the floor Of
the house of representatives between
Mr.. Stevenson and Congressman
William Cicero Hammer. of the
seventh North Carolina district The
News carried some remarks and
comment from North Carolina pco-
pie and papers with which it did not
agree, but the thought that Mr.
Stevenson and Mr.. Hammer were in
collusion was absurd.
Mr.. Hammer would, OF course.
carry his point If he could. but his
argument is not so trong as his
voice. He has a voice that can or
dinarily be heard a block or two
away when he Is in ordinary con-
versation. Some years ago. 1908,
we believe. a Democratic state con-
vention was held in Charlotte and
it was told on Mr.. Hammer that he
nearly broke up the meeting when
some one was speaking on the in
frmities Of the Republicans. He
was said to have thrown up his hat
and yelled: Give 'em hell, old pile
driver"
He is forceful when it comes to
being heard. but his argument in
the present case is weak.
