to place live stock, wheat and oats

This action, it was authoritatively

of President Wilson, Senator Sim-

and other administration lead-
who disapproved the decision an-
yesterday to tax meats ten
per cent, compensatory to a duty
on cattle In the Underwood bill, and
to access a compensatory duty on both

The vote to reconsider was taken
in tho sub committee on a motion

just achieved big triumph
in the immediate of Queen
Mary herself.
The queen's chief dresser, Miss
Florence Selby, who has been with
her for years, has been a member
of the organization for
some and has been active as
recruiting sergeant for the Women's
Social and Union among the
upper servants of the royal palaces.
Queen Mary, according to the
World's information is intensely op-
posed to in every shape
and there has been much bickering
not only among the upper servants,
but the ladies in waiting as well, on
the question.
Recently Miss Selby and some other
in the palace took to
wearing the badges, of
which the queen had expressed dis-
approval, and matters readied a
max just before the queen's
for Berlin, when she issued an
order absolutely the wear-
of these badges by any of the
servants.
Miss Selby thereupon tendered her
resignation, declaring that she moat
have liberty to wear the badge or
ha would leave the queen's service
forthwith. It was impossible to dis-
with a chief dresser's service
just as the queen was going to Ber-
for a royal wedding.
was given Miss Selby to do as
she chose.
Miss Selby has not since then worn
the badge in the palace, but the royal
suffragettes are proud of the victory
for the principle they have won.
When the Countess of
one of the ladles In waiting, shovel
sympathy with the militants, though
rot one herself, the queen spoke so
sharply that the countess resigned.
Put it is far easier to fill the place of
a merely ornamental lady in waiting
than that of a chief dresser who has
acquired useful knowledge of the
queen's taste and foibles about her
and is thoroughly acquainted
with the royal wardrobe, both social
and mufti.
Owing to there being a number of
suffragettes among tho palace
the belief became Current that
the queen must he a sympathizer
too. this has annoyed her more than
anything else.

of my visit to the city and then It

moral.
back now, I feel like
at the pitiful egotism which led
me to half expect a phalanx of young
men at the train to meet me. Some-
how, I got the idea from the flattering
remarks of at least a half dozen of
those who honored our porch with
their presence last summer and
summers that my advent in the
city would be to them a source of the
keenest delight. Strangely enough,
therefore, my arrival created not even
a ripple of excitement.
It hadn't been for dear old Mrs.
Gray, there wouldn't have been one
friendly face to greet me as I stepped
off the train. Even was fuller of
her own affairs than of mine. She
said had some errands to do, and
asked me If I would mind going with
her to the shopping district. Of
course. I said I'd like to go with her,
but after we had passed a whole
pricing toweling and kitchen-
ware In the basements of three de-
stores, I made up my mind
that when I wished to see the shops
I'd try to go without Mrs. Gray.

trunk had come, for I was anxious to
put on something pretty for the eve-
In case there should be callers.
I might just as well have taken my
ease In the negligee that Mrs. Gray
suggested, for our evening together
was uninterrupted. I began to think
that maybe some of the cards I had
sent to my summer
friends such a good name, dear, for
those careless young men who grace

and decorate our porch during tho

decided to call up Ted Harris and tell
him I was In town.

She said Ted had told her that I

thought Ted's mother rather
line, but the cotillion sounded good to
me, and I had a fascinating mental
picture of myself moving through the
mazes of that delightful dance two
weeks later. I remembered how Ted
was always descanting upon the per-
of the floor and the beautiful
music at his club, and I was sure he
would want me to dance there once
at least. I was awfully glad my eve-
gowns weren't In the least bit
country.
to relieve your curiosity at
once, let me tell you that Ted called
me up the next day and was most
cordial. He told me how glad he
would be to see me and how sorry he
was that he had every evening taken
for weeks In advance. That was just
his usual bad luck, he declared. But
he said I must surely have luncheon
with 1.1 in downtown. I replied that
would if I could, but that my time was
very full. He said I simply must
squeeze the luncheon In and he'd call
me up In a day or two and arrange a
date.

At the present time there seems to
be considerable excitement over the

allotted to North Carolina to aid In
building roads in certain sections of
the state. There have been a great
many applications made to the gov-
and reasons given why a certain
part of this should be spent
the construction a road in this
or that part of the state. Many who
have made these applications are not
at all familiar with the conditions
placed about the allotment of this
money. Tho conditions are as fol-
The local of the
state has to furnish double the amount
of money supplied by the government.
The money appropriated by tho
local is generally best
deposited in the hands of a local
tee to be disbursed on the order of
tho duly qualified representative of
tho U. S. office of public roads. It
probably would be convenient and sat
to make a national bank the
trustee. This bank may be in the
county in which the road is to be
built.
The engineering work Is to be
done by the U. S. office of public
roads, and one of their engineers
would be In immediate charge of it.
The laborers are only
ed to work eight hours a day on such
a road.
No convicts will be permitted
to be worked on the road.
The first three conditions are all
right and no one should take
to them. The last, two, however,
may affect decidedly tho road work

laborers working on this road who

one-fifth of the time of each laborer.

The last condition might not be of
any serious moment in some localities,
but In others it may be found that the
convict force of the county or town-
ship can be used to the very best ad-
vantage on this particular road; and
yet, under these conditions, they can-
not be used.
For this reason the
ed to North Carolina for ail in road
building is not going to do as much
work as was at first expected; and,
while the county or township will
gain a certain amount from this
it will not be its full face

A Chain of Taxes
Editor
I have enjoyed the different
written by Y. on stock
law and Can't help but believe he is
on side of progress. I have Just
read his last article in which he re-
to voting the fence back
a chain of taxes.
I had not heard of this kind of
taxes, so I began to think what he
meant by chain of taxes and this
answer came to
If it cost twenty thousand dollars
to put the fence back and pay the
suits and right of way, as many per-
sons think, the interest on the
thousand would be twelve
at the end of the first year. If
we value the of this money like
we value the money we use to buy
a home it would double itself In about
twelve years. And so this chain of
taxes would be forty thousand
at the end of twelve years, and
in twelve years it would be
double again and that would
eighty thousand dollars and at the
end of thirty-six years it would be one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars,
that would be saved or lost to the
generation of thirty-six years to
come.
Some young men have learned this
rule and when they think about
spending five cents for a cigar or
cold drink, they say to themselves
am going to save that five cents
and put It on interest and In thirty-
six years I will have forty cents.
This rule well kept Is the way some
young men grow wealthy in old age.
you only a few days to
decide this question, whether or not

exactly the same point where they
were when first noted.
The state forester in Inspecting lo-
and catalpa groves throughout the
state, says the Indiana Farmer, has
found owners who have not removed
one part of the fork of those trees
that have formed forks below the fence
post length, believing that in years
the fork would grow up and a fence
post could be cut below the fork. This
erroneous belief is the cause of much
of the delay and neglect of pruning in
early life of street and roadside trees-
It should be remembered that the
j base of a fork or a branch of a tree
will always remain at the same dis-
I above the ground. The side
branches of some trees, such as the
elm. usually continue to grow upward,
while those of other trees, such as
the maples, incline upward when
young and as the tree grows older
tho weight of the branches gradually
brings It to the horizontal. The latter
often makes the removal of large
branches necessary, which not only
spoils tho symmetry of the tree, but
usually starts decay, which soon kills
the tree.
No street or roadside tree should be
permitted to form a fork below ten
feet and all of the side branches to the
same height should be removed so that
they will the crop less.
If this Is done the tree in time will
grow a saw log below the branches.

THE NATIONAL BANK
PATS SECOND DIVIDEND
In April the National Bank of
Greenville paid its stockholders a
semi-annual dividend of i per cent,
making per cent for the fiscal year.
This was Just before the consolidation
of that bank with the Bank Green-
ville. After the consolidation of the
two banks there was a surplus
with charged to
and fixtures. In the last few
days a further dividend of 1-2 per
cent has been paid out to the
to the National Bank stockholders.
This still leaves a good surplus and
puts the old and new stockholders,
the latter being those coming In from
the former Bank of Greenville, on
the same footing as to value of stock.
It Is also fitting to say that In the
last five and a half years, during
which time Mr. F. J. Forbes has been
cashier of the National Bank, that
the earnings of the bank have reach-
ed an amount almost equal to the cap-
ital stock
