If you happen to have visitors from distance
and want to show them an interesting local sight,
take them down to Faison and let them watch the
cucumber market in action.
The biggest cucumber market in the world It's
worth the trip.
That cucumber market, by the way, hasn't been
sufficiently dramatized for the public Faison needs
las Irwin Cobb said about North Carolina press
agent for it's market. =
If you don't happen to have visitors but are feel
ing somewhat dispirited and blue, better go on
down and look the cucumber market over anyway.

there will give you lift that will carry over to
your own business when you return-Goldsboro

Seldom do you find all the lob

they all ganged up on the bill
which would have made lobbyists

swapping to attention at its mas

whopping majority.
Senator Hugo Black of Alabama
who pushed his bill to regulate the
lobbyists through the Senate, SAYS
he is philosophical about it, be-
cause this was the first time such
measure had ever progressed as
far as the voting stage in both
houses. The House vote, however,
was 264 to ~.
The result, of course, is that lob

 All Very Confusing
 It is all very confusing to people who are used to selecting their politics by the old standard labels
 Undoubtedly, among some politicians on both sid e there is plenty of pretense about t-peny of talk ing about principles above party coupled with very definite and energetic efforts down underneath to oil up the same old party machinery which the spebnd- CTS are pretending to discard.
 Nevertheless much of the ross-party appealing appears genuine enough.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, - A. A. Broni'S Top Row winner of al most S215,000 during his racing career, is the only thoroughbred new in training that has won more than $20O,0OO.
 Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Discovery, although suffering a setback in the Stars and Stripes handicap at Arlington, is within striking distance of the charmed circle, with total earnings of ap- proximately S175,00O.
 William WoodWard's Omaha now racing in England was pre- vented from moving close to the S200,000 class when he was de- feated by a nose III the AScot Gold Cup by the unfashionably bred lilly, Quashed. Omaha has earnings of approximately $150,- 900.
 The first young horse to enter the S100,000 class this year was Hal Price Headley's Hollyrood. The only 1885 leading juvenile to show among the leaders of the current 3-year-old campaign, Hollyrood has won slightly more than S10O,0O0 during his two years of racing.

 The great trouble, from the viewpoint of an act ua party readustment is that may be difficult times for the young people and their elders well to coming from the two opposing camps distinguish between the non-partsan rallyng cries
 The matter would be simple if one great party plicitly branded itself conservative and the oker lib era Instead both describing themselves in their platforms liberal and both assuring the vatves at the same time that they stand for the Con- stituton and the flag, for "sound' policies and tenn perate government which conservative need fear.
 In these circumstances, great responsibility for discrimination rests the individual voter It will quire something than glance at the party em- bem the ballot to enable him to understand what he is voting for.

Fill This Job

With all due regard for the pressure of national affairs
on President Roosevelt, Washngtonians are becoming
concerned over the delay in appointing to
Mr. William A. Roberts, who resigned as Peoples Coun
sci two weeks ago.
The prospects are that the President will soon leave
the National Capital either for vacation or for trip
to South America.
IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT HE WILL SEE HIS
WAY CLEAR TO FILL THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT
LOCAL OFFICE BEFORE HE DEPARTS.
The matter of appointing Peoples Counsel is an
urgent far the residents of the District
concerned.
Many matters of import Nth lDIich the Peoples
Counsel has an intimate connection due for de-
UelOpnentS in the immediate future.
The street car problem which is always with u.s. will
come to head shortly with hearings fares and on
the valuation proceedings which have been underway
for some time.
The time is rapidly approaching also when rates
for the Potomac Electric Power Company will be fixed

CERTAINLY BE GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO

THESE HIGHLY COMPLICATED MATTERS BE-

Delay in making the appointment until after the Pres
dents return would either that the Peoples Coun
sci would have to let these go by default put in
his after only cursory examination of the facts.
This obviously would not only be unfair to whoever
may be chosen to succeed Mr. Roberts but also the
public.
We hope that the delay in the appointment is not
caused by the Presidents yielding to the suggestion that
the office of Peoples Counsel be abandoned.
