Washington, Oct.30.-Senator Sim
mons stated last night he has been
informed bv the secretary of the inter-
state Commerce commission that tbs
American Railway Express company
has announced that all express mat
ter from the north and east destined
for Asheville is now to be transferred
to the Southeastern Express company
at Washington. He assumes this
covers all western North Carolina
points, but will look further into this
phase OF the matter.
This announcement by the Amerl,
can Railway express eliminates a
fight that has been waged by Senator
Simmons for months before the Inter
state Commerce commission to forcs
the above mentioned company t.
transfer it's express package business
for western North Carolina to tbs
Southeastern Express company at
Washington thereby enabling the ex-
press freight to go direct to western
North Carolina points instead OF all
way round via South Carolina points
as has often been the case.
This encouragement means the dls-
continuation Of an outrageous prac-
tice that has caused great annoyance
and inconvenience to. the people o.
Ashcville piedmont and western

so that the state might be spared

scored klansmen and Catolics alike.
''You are both to blame," he as
serted. "You Catholics who go out and
say, don't vote for man who is
not Catholic. I'm going to put my
political activity behind my religion ,
You ought to be ashamed.
And you men who join this kla'l
and say. There is an order that exists
for the protection of. white supremacy
and to save us from the Catholic
church. You ought to be ashamed;
honestly, you ought to be ashamed
He explained that he did not like

regard to religion.
