It Is very unfortunate that Chairman Stevenson could not meet with the committee on the day it was called. He wrote me that It was im? possible for the reason that his wife was quite III and It was necessary to place her In a hospital In the North, where I learn he has (one. I am in? formed that he expects to return to the State within a week's time, but In order not to delay the committee he called Mr. Hutler and W. B. Wilson to meet him In Charlotte that he might give them his views as to the method of procedure. I had presumed that the committee had been Informed of the situation. I have stated my po? sition clearly to both sides of the com? mittee as there appears to be two ?Idea. 1 am sure that none of them desire to delsy a matter so important to our people one moment, but the committee n>uld not be expected to nake undue ssfjgg to the neglect of its duty. I think you are unduly alarmed and trust that you will do all In your power to prevent any undue excite? ment to our people, as both candi? dates for governor have expressed a desire that tola investigation be had and we wish to give the nominee a clean title so th it our people may go to the polls united. They will not do so under the crargei of fraud. The great thing now to be accomplished it the preservation of our white man's primary and I am sure this is the feel Ins; of every member of the executive committee. You may rest assured that this committee U Incapable of courting out anyaody and they feel the gravity of the situation as much as you do. Do not get excited and lose confidence In men who have been selected to direct the affairs of the party until you have direct evidence of wrong doing. If the subcommittee does not report within a reasonable time I shall take the necessary steps to preserve the rights of all parties concerned. With beet regards. Tru!v ggajfgj John Gary llvaiis."

PROGRESS TOWARD PEACE, Tureo-ltallan Negotiations Proceed? ing Ka vor ably. Ouohy, Bwitserland, sept. 18.? Ptetro Bertollni, former minister of public works and one of the dele? gates representing Italy at the Turco ltallan peace negotiation! in Switzer? land, described briefly today possibil? ity of a settlement satisfactory to both Italy and Turkey being reached. "The negotiations," said Blgnor Ber tollnl, "are proceeding favorably, and 1 hop,' they soon will bo Successfully ended, i can not, however, discuss the proposed terms. The Italian del Lei have full power to conclude p. ace h.-re in Switzerland. The long delay in the negotiations has been the result of having in the earlier stag' s to refer the more Important Questions to headquarters." Blgnor Bertollni, who has been in Koine laying before the premier and foreign minister the latest phases of tho negotiations, rejoined his fellow delegates here, today, lie declared the alleged basis of peace as published in the Paris Temps was a mere fantasy. He declined, nevertheless, to specify wherein it was faulty. The question of sovereignty over Tripoli and Cyrenecla seems to be tne chlel stumbling block. TO LEARN OK COUNTY PAIR.

A Practical Way to Check Kxtrava- j gance, Government expenses will not bo materially reduced until there is a check on appropriations. Congress holds the money bag. The President cannot disburse a. dollar without its authority. Though the Senate usi - ally manages to pile on a few millions, money bills must originate in the House, and it is to the lower branch of Congress we must look for reform. Governor Wilson favors a business? like system to replace present chaotic conditions. Twenty-flve years ago lie urged the adoption of the budget plan. The necessity is much more urge it today. Appropriations are made in a hap? hazard way. The Committee on Ap? propriations has lost its supreme authority over expenditures. Army, Navy, River and Harbor. Agriculture and other committees each makes up in its own way the budget for that particular branch. A struggle follows, in Which each committee gets all it can. Especially in regard to rivers and harbors and public buildings Is legislation affected by local inter? ests?the result of numerous deals and dickering. ' Log-rolling" has led to the waste *>f many millions on wa? terways that carry no commerce, as Senator Burton pointed out. Distri? bution of public buildings as favors lias become a scandal. The Democrats propose to lo away with all this by making up a clear statement of the absolute needs of the Government, estimating the probable ic olptS and not allowing appropria? tions outside this budget except for emergencies. The idea is, ?tst, to compel tho Government to live with? in its income; second, to consider the needs of all branches of the sei vice, r.t t favoring one at the ?xpeus: of another; third, to cut down expenses and relieve the taxpayers of out of the heavy burden tiny bear. Perhaps this sensible plan was not adopted thirty years age because .t was too businesslike t<> suit the poli? tician* whose favorite cry was: 'Hur? rah for the old flag and big appropria? te r? Baltimore sun. Hie First Iiis-. "it Is related that a pretty girl, who does newspaper work, wrote ibis: "The greatest surprise to a girl who gets kissed for the first time Is that there is no taste to it." How she found that out is not related, and it may be in bad form to Inquire. How? ever, an old bachelor who has read her unsupported statement, roars back in this fashion' "No ta^t.' to it'.'

Away back in the dim and joyful years long ago, before we b?st our teeth and our cinch on the beautiful prize, the prettiest girl in all the world told us that it felt like a covery of frightened quail flying out of each ear and ended up with a sensation similar to that which might bo produced by a dock of angles pourng a golden stream of molasses dow n ones back. "No taste to S first kiss. Great Scott! it would make a wooden In? dian's hair curl." And they fain would tell us also that the taste thereof is like unto the strained quintessence of the dlvlnest nectar that was ever served up by the youthful Hebe for the delectation of th<- immortals on old Olympus' brow, combining the fresh, dewy sweetness "f the new-blown rose, and half open? ed Illy, the modest violet, the blush? ing peach, etc and so on ad-lnflnltum, We refer the above description to our married brethren for approval and correction and suggest to our friends who have not forsaken the ranks of eelibaey, th;ii If the above sensations a'*e in any respect true, then tho experiment might i> well worth the trying.

What Tariff Revision Means. Augusta Chronicle. It has been carefully and accu? rately estir lated that a just revision of the tariff downward would save the consumers in this country not less than $2,000,000,000 the year, which would be more than $22 for every mar. woman and child in the counti y. Commenting on this Col. J. C. Eieihphlll says: "It is one of the monstrous results of the present tar? iff that it cuts the people both ways? 'a comin' an gwlne,1 as they say in Qeorgia?the 'rusts, which have been built up by the tariff for the protec? tion of American industry, sticking the domestic consumers for a!! the business will stand and selling t'. vir 'surplus products' to foreign custo? mers at lower prices than their regu? lar output is ^old for in our own beautiful home market.' It his been said hat American-made goods can be bought in foreign markets, re shipped to the United States, paying freight both ways, and delivered to buyers here for less than the same iriMuls can be purchased at home in the first instance. It is claimed by The System that this can be done be? cause only tile surplus is disposed of in foreign markets, which claim was somewhat disfigured by Oovernor .Marshall when he offered the sugges? tion that the direct product be mar? keted abroad ami the surplus be kept at home. i ?f course, it will be pro? tested by the beneficiaries of the pres? ent method of handling the surplus iHat this is trifling with a very sacred subject, but this is the plan many of the plain people of the fields have followed for years in disposing of their crops.
