Then to the astonish- of the bank officials ho opened the pail showed that it was full of soiled and crumpled bank notes of an almost forgotten issue. There was a little less in the pail, and every dollar of it was of the old war issue of thirty-five years ago and worth a hundred cents. Tho hank retained the greater part of the money, but son , of it was in such condition it had to be sent to Washington exchanged. Long, who is seventy years old, refused to make any of how he came into possession of the money.

CHARITY IMPOSED UPON. The Greensboro correspondent of the Raleigh Post This thing of dispensing sweet is a peculiar business, as Chief of Police Scott and city officials can testify. Although weather has moderated to a extent, the calls for help are increasing in number rather decreasing. When asked morning how for this, Chief Scott said he supposed it was because many people were just learning that city had to was giving it away to all comers. While in police headquarters for a few minutes this morning The Post correspond- counted just six people who came for assistance. Some of them wood some wanted groceries, Han a little of both, but all appeared to think that the city should furnish these supplies as a matter course. One stout and healthy looking woman, who said all she lacked of being a widow was having a fun- from her house, came in and asked bread for herself and her nine children and a load of wood to keep the family warm. There is no doubt that much -if this charity is misapplied, and therefore much of it is not charity. For instance, six different women came to police headquarters during the day for wood and eatables Each was given an order wood and groceries. Late the day em- of the city discovered that all six of these women lived to one house, hall which had turned into a temporary wood shed. There was wood every- where, while tables chairs held sacks of Hour, packages of meat other thing's. These women, there are others like them, were on but one thing getting every I possible while thing were going tree And there is no limit to the gall of these kind of people. This is usually the case there is any general movement to charity in a The lazy, vagabond class are the ones who get most of what is given away, while really needy are neglected. Greenville had some experience along Ibis line a years ago that taught the town a Instead of having relief headquarters opened to receive it is to have a committee to hunt up the needy help those only. Then it is an act of charity. BETHEL ITEMS. N. Feb. T. T. Cherry, of Conetoe, spent Thursday II. II. Taylor spent Tuesday Wednesday in Mount. It. who has been visiting bis sister in Rocky Mount.

That House of has ceased to be a body has a mere machine doing of a small of men, by courtesy called leaders but actual- dictators, has appreciated for at number of years by those close touch with its workings, but never in its history have the high handed and tyrannical methods adopted by the present Speaker bis colleague to secure the passage of the wax revenue repeal bill been or even The proceedings last Monday were a source of to every member of the House possessed of sufficient intelligence to comprehend their meaning. Since the passage of the revenue bill the House has accomplished no important legislation. The Senate has passed the bill for a permanent census bureau and has fixed upon next Monday for final debate and vote on the Philippine ate Committee Agriculture is considering the oleomargarine bill the indications are that it will pan. It is quite probable will eliminate the clause relating in renovated butter for, as a Senator from Iowa pointed out yesterday when I asked bin of the likelihood of the passing Senate, Congress has no authority to legislate in regard to of any food product unless it the ground that it is for the purpose of raising revenue and there is no tax placed on butter by the present measure. Moreover the bill falls to define renovated butler and it will be a location to what is renovated and what is not. This morning the President's de- on Admiral appeal as made public, it bears every evidence of having been rendered in the bureaucratic atmosphere which Mr. Roosevelt has tit to round himself and the conclusions bear the proof of having been induced the specious argument of such men as Long. ct alias. Mr. Roosevelt valiantly shields himself behind the decision of his and finds no occasion for reversing Mr. judgment. He alleges that, while Sampson was only technically in it was a In his efforts to avoid doing full justice to Admiral however, he for gets to accord credit to men behind the the builder of the American -hips and the of the American powder. If Mr. Roosevelt imagines that his will conclude matter, be is mistaken, Senator Mason, of Illinois, announces his intention to push bis resolution in the Sen- ate to the full extent of his ability.
