and all enjoy the time
spent pleasantly
together. Those teachers who
came over and roads
deserve much credit, hut be it said
injustice to they would
not have come an cheerfully it they
had not that there
something good In store for them
at the end of their journey, for the
meetings of Pitt county
have never other than inter-
eating and Inspiring.

was not
and the meeting was made
informal. The devotional exercises
were by Rev. H. H.
Moore. Plat, Smith,
or the Greenville graded
school, was introduced to the
association. He made an excellent
Impromptu speech, In which he
spoke highly-, of the work the
Is doing, and expressed
a desire to be of service in the
work.

FIGHT
To Cheapen Goods to American
Consumers.
Washington, D. C. Jan.
Representative made
splendid fight today to amend the
Philippine tariff bill so as to give
the President authority to reduce
the import duty on the class of
goods manufactured In this
try which are sold at a lower price
In foreign countries than at home.
In a ringing three-minute speech
Mr. emphasized the import
and put the
stand-pat Republicans in a very
light. Singular as it
may a large element of Re-
publicans led by Mann, of Illinois,
with the democrats in

The speech was one of
the best the Congressman ever
made.
The amendment offered by Mr.
was of objected to on a
point of order by the floor leader,
Payne, and ruled out by the
siding officer.
In his speech Mr. said in
it always happens,
that whenever any bill is intro-
duce here which helps the con-
sumer there la always some little
rule In the way of It and it seems
impossible to get it before the
House. I if yon would
give me time, and listen to me, I
show amendment not
out of order, but from the
ruling of the Chair I confess have
bet little hope, and therefore I
conclude by I have intro-
this a last resort, in the
Hope that the baring at
heart the interest of the million's
of people who are under the
nation of the trusts and combines,
will allow this amendment to
before this House. If I occupied
position, so help me God, I
would put this amendment before
this House if every other commit
tee of the every Speaker
of every Congress, had from time
Immemorial ruled to the contrary.
Your rules are a curse when they
come between and our duty to

Observer.

was by many severe

wept over what he regarded as the
indignities to Mrs. Morris, and his
eye were full of tears when he
declared in the face of protest from
his fellow Senators that he would
demand an investigation of the
White House incident.
Why Not Change
If the evening train is
going to continue coming in late,
its schedule has just as well be
changed so as to make connection
at Hobgood with the train from
Norfolk. It comes in plenty late
for that connection, if the time
was token up beyond Hobgood
instead of waiting at Parmele.
We believe the change would be a
good one.
