Outfits To Meet Locals

Coach Harl Blose has shifted his
team q Bit Rid.eout and LeMay, regu-

Galloway and Billy Gambler will be
at the guard posts. Eaves and j. Ed
wards will be the forwards for EPSON.
l. Edwards, center, and Grissom and
Dlckerson' will be the guards.

Seed Dealer
License ee
Arouses Ire
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY G. LYNN NISBET.

Raleigh, Jan. 13.-The mustard
seed, which in the New Testament
parable grew into a great tree, had
nothing whatever on the garden seeds
of North Carolina, which this week
precipated the first real committee
fight of the session.
When the legislature of 1887 adopt
ed the present pure seed law, provid-
ing for testing and inspection of seed
on a much larger scale than ever be-
fore, and imposing a license fee Of
not less than $40 on retail seed deal
ers to pay the costs of such inspec-
ton work, it was storing up trouble
for the present body.
The house committee on agricul
ture has devoted two full meetings to
the Page-Underwood bill introduced
the second day of the session and re-
ducing the license tax from $40 to
one dollar. A special subcommittee
has spent two entire afternoons re-
working the original bill, with almost
certainly further amendments or per-
haps repeal of whole thing facing
the committee report when it reaches
the floor. There can be no doubt,
after the heated discussion in COM
mittee, that the farmers of Nortk
Carolina do not like the $40 seed Ii.
cense. At that the farmers think
| more of it than little merchants do.
It is also evident that farmers do
like the seed testing and inspection
work and do not want the seed bust
ness thrown wide open for all sorts
of inferior stuff. Trouble is nobody
wants to pay the cost of the testing
and certifying. 1t takes money.
The subcommittee headed by Aber-
nathy of Nash is composed of Everett
Page. Moore of Fit and Blalock.
Everett, Moore and Blalock are pri-
maridr farmers, though they have
other interests; Page operates a lake
resort, and Alternately is a. lawyer.
All of them are interested IN farming
and come from distinctly farm coun-
ties. They do not want to lose any
of the ground gained during the past
few years in good seed work.
At Wednesdays full committee
meeting it was Alternately and Page
who protested most loudly against the
rlOl tax. An amendment providing
a dollar stamp on seed cases of not
more than u packages satisfied them
hut it didn't satisfy Withrow of
Rutherford and Taylor of Caswell
They made no bones about the poll
tical Significance in their counties
Mr.. Withrow. was asked If he wanted
the regulation, inspection and test
ing stopped. He didn't, but he didn't
care how the money was raised to
pay for it so long as everybody could
sell seeds.
On the other side is the more than
five thousand dollars capital invest
ment and $4,000 annual operating
budget of the pure seed division in
The Department of Agriculture. Tho
money must be had to carry on eff
'iciently or the department is ready
20 quit. All sorts of suggestions are
made for getting the money fron,s
somewhere else other than the chief
beneficiaries- sellers and rEer5 of
seeds.

so far as commercial customers
are concerned the newest reduction
in rates made by the company means.
they will benefit to the extent of an
average reduction of II percent in
rates, although some "a percent of all
commercial consumers Of electricity
will actually benefit to the extent of
an average reduction of % percent
1t was further pointed out, by Mr..
Sutton that under the new CONNER
cial rates the average consumer may
use from 25 to 80 percent more cleo
tricity each month without any in
crease in his present bill.
The newest reduction in rates will
be reflected on all bills rendered on
and after February 3, 1899. s
President Sutton said the constant
swing toward electrical living was the
controlling factor in the newest rate
reduction made by the company. Now,
he said, electricity costs less than it
ever did before for lighting, cooking,
refrigeration, water heating, and for
all residential and commercial SER
ices.
Odnce 1878, ne ADDED, the Carolina
Power and Light Company has con-
stantly reduced its kilowatt hour cost
Fifteen years ago the average cost
per kilomatt hour to residential Gust
omers was nine cents-in 1888 it drop
ped to an average of three and three
tenths cents. And for 1889, it is esti-
mated the cost for this type of SER
vice to residential customers will be
under three cents per klowatt hour

to Congress from each State.
In urging that nation wide senti
ment be modified for completion OF
the Dies investigation, the Commit

patriotic public opinion must ex-
press itself forcefully or it will be
drowned out by the noisy clamor of
those un-American elements who are
now exhorting their followers, and
through communist publications urg-
ing them to lay down a barrage on
Congress to prevent further exposure
of their iconspiracies to overthrow
the United. States government.
There is no time for delay Dan
gers to our free institutions must be
exposed before it is too late. Wire
or write your congressman now. Mes
sages asking prompt approval of
Chairman Dies resolution extending
the inquiry and his request for ade-
quate funds must be sent Immediate

consideration of the National Amer
icanism Award Committee. Organiza-
tions as well as individuals will be
eligible for the citations Awards will
be made on the basis of clarity,
brevity and forcefulness.

the season tonight in a doubleheader

The Henderson girls, paced by Miss

contests of the season, winning from
Franklinton and South Hill. Va. Ep-
som will prove real test for the
Henderson aggregation. If the team
can get by tonight with victory,
fans will know that Henderson has
one Of its best teams in recent years.
The boys have not Jared so well
thus far this season, having los. both
games. The inability to sink foul
shots cost the lads victory in both
games.
Epson will bring two coed teams,
with Misses S. Harrington and
Smith heading the offensive power.
and Miss jamie Ayscue the defensive
star of the team.
Most of the veterans of the BOYS ag-

Raleigh, Jan. 13.-Sponsors of Jack

day had more trouble getting the
former heavyweight champion out
than in.
He entered the hall while the clerk
was reading Victor Bryant's "let's
work and get away from here" reso-
luton, and Speaker Libby Ward sus-
pended proceedings only long enough
to welcome Jack. Then he proceed
ed with the regular business and it
wasn't long before Wake Representa-

The Seeley resolution making it
mandatory for all departments Of the
State government to furnish informa-
tion to members of the General AS
sembly, was not motivated 10y refusal
Of any department to do just that,
according to the Carteret law-maker
who sponsored it.
On the contrary, he said, depart
ment heads favored such resolu
tion, which has become something
OF a routine feature of each session.
Probably more special acts are
passed every session placing individu-
al names on the pension rolls than
for any other one purpose. The first
such measure hit the house hopper
Thursday, when McNeill, of Hoke, ask
ed pension for Widow Stubbss of his
county.
Senator-Doctor Tom Long, of Hall
fax, doesn't like the way the digni-
fled senators have been treated on
the several occasions of joint sessions
this year. Just after voting against
a joint resolution inviting Aubrey
Williams to address the assembly,
the outspoken doctor rose to move
that negotiations he entered into with
the House officials looking to proper
seating. The House resolution which
the doctor opposed was passed any
way, and he was advised that there
would he seat for him. When the
governor delivered his message, and
when Secretary Perkins spoke, out
siders so crowded the aisles and
lobbies that the senators had to squat
where they could.
Representative A. c.. Payne, of
Alexander, counts himself school
man" in the sense that he had long
been identified with school work in
some phase. He doesn't think much
of the 18th grade idea. The Alex
anderian is prepared to wage as Wig
orous fight as may be necessary to
obtain more money for the grossly
underpaid janitors and laIborers
around school buildings. His pri-
mary concern is safer buses with
older and more competent drivers.
