UNJUST SUSPICION. This is from the last issue of the Mooresville Enterprise: Just why we do not understand, Sut there is a general sentiment in this end of the county to the effect that the proposed bond issue to be voted on in this county in May will mot carry. Many people are of the opinion that the citizens of States- ville and north Tredeli do not want the bonds, and that, the present ar- rangement was brought about in or- @er to defeat the measures out- ned by the good citizens of this nd of the county, prior to the coun- ty question, The Enterprise does mot entertain any such thoughts, and we look forward to rolling up a clean. clear majority for the bond dspue, If every man in the county who really warsits good roads will Bring himself to the belief that we re going to get something good ut of this movement, then we. will have the best roads of any county im the State, and we will also alt feel good over being solidly together on the road question. It is just a Mttle more than a month off, 60 let’s get busy and do things. In answer to the above it can be said thet there are some people —not many we hope—in Statesville and north Iredell whio do not believe that Mooresville and the south Iredel people are sincere in their advoca- cy of a county bond issue; that they prefer its defeat because they could then demand, with greater force, t they be allowed to pursue the wnship or road district plan, which they had mapped out prior to the agreement on the county bond issue, and which it is believed they pre- fer. The Landmark had no idea of giving utterance to this suspicion, because it considers it neither just nor fair; but it 1s cited now to show the Enterprise, and those who harbor the suspicion it mentions, that we are even on this score. Of course it is patent that if we proceed on the idea that the bond dasue will fail because of insinceri- ty and jealousy on the part of peo- ple in different sections of the eounty,then the bond issue is doom- ed and we had just as well quit. The thing for us to do is to show our sincerity by our work for the bond issue and drop this puerile suspicion. This sort of thing is water on the wheel of ihe oppo- ments of the bonds, and the oppo- sition, we have no doubt, is really a the bottom of the matter. Statesville and Mooresville will have to bear the brunt of the campaign for the bonds. Statesville is go- ing to show its faith by its works and we know that Mooresville will do likewise, for the work has al- Teady been started in both towns. There are people in Statesville and north Iredell who oppose the _bonds, just as there are people in Mooresville and south Iredell who oppose them, but the people who have inaugurated this movement are in earnest about it and propose to fight it to a finish. The people of north Iredell, or those sections remote from railroad connection, should be the strongest advocates of the bonds, for some of these townships, by reason of their isojation and consequent lack of development, 46 not pay road tax @nough in @ year to build a mile of macadam road, and eyt off from the atronger townships they would be helpless. This is their opportu- nity to get some benefit in. return for railroad taxes paid to help oth- er sections, and they will stand in their own light if they do not em- brace this opportunity. “ A number of counties in the State are moving to secure the location of farm life schools, as provided by act of the recent Legislature. Not more than ten of the schools can be established in any one year, and in order to obtain a school a county must provide $25,000 for buildings and $2,500 annually | for Suppose,on which condition theState gives $2,500 annually. At a school closing in Catawba county last week the matter was suggested and five farmers present volunteered to give $100 each for the purpose. This would indicate that if the Catawba hustlers get behind it, Catawba is one county in these parts that will have a farm life school. Mecklen- burg also has inaugurated a movement for one of these schools. <acininiasenciniceiseieiiatiiaiaiiaes Mooresville Invites, Dr. Talk Good Roads. Mooresville Enterprise, March 30.

What do we see every day here in old fredell? We are ashamed to. say, we farmers-——not all of us, but the most of us-——with our wagons in town, buying corn, oats, hay, flour, meat; potatdes; cabbage and apples. Yes, we, the great pro- ducers, buying our living, planting the whole earth in cotton, then wonder why cotton is so low. The force of these remarks § is emphasized in an article The Land- mark is printing today, summarized by the Charlotte Chronicle from a report of State Agronomist Bur- gess, to which attention is directed. This article shows that millions of dollars are sent out of North Caro- Mina every year for flour, meat, grain, hay and other articles of food-stuff and feed—things: that we should raise at home, not only in sufficient quantities for home con- sumption, but a surplus to sell. The New Orleans Picayune, which paper keeps fully informed as to the cotton situation, says all indications point: to a largely increased cotton acreage this year. An _ increased cotton acreage “will mean—unless Providence interferes and saves the farmers from — themeelves—a much larger cotton crop,and a larg- er cotton crop will mean lower prices for cotton, despite all the theories and all the organizations. The improved farming conditions, in recent years give ground for encour- agement and hope for the future, but the report of Mr. Burgess shows that we have hardly made a start. We cannot boast of our accompHsh- ments until we cease to buy from abroad what we can and should produce at home. MATTERS OF NEWS.

Nichols, who has a very interseting letter in the latest issue ‘of ‘the Bedford Democrat. She describes herself as ‘‘a fanmer's wife - and ~ an advocate’: of good roads.” Asserting a most vital fact “that good roads isa subject which Means a great dealbto country wo- men,” ehe says. “After a few months’ pleasure of driving.over a macadani road, my neighbors as well as myself think there isno com- parison to be made between it and | the dirt roads (or mud ‘roads, | should say). This is the first win- ter since wy living in Bedford that I have ‘been able to drive to town in comfort.” ThenMrs.Nichols makes | a good point in showing the effect | of good roads upon horses them-| selves. ‘No matter how badly the dirt road freezes an@ then gets cut g00d | for the sanctity of the marriage into deep ruts, a8 sOOD as your) horse strikes the macadam, all | smooth and level, away he goes as! if he had new life in him and as| if it were a pleasure instead of a | burden to pull your buggy or wag- | on.” Then Mrs. Nichols goes on to/| say: | “For the sake of the women and | children, let us have good roads * * * Because, we have spent) our lives driving and dragging | through the mud is no reason. why | we should inflict the same punish- | ment on our children, so let us be up and doing, and get ready for our children, so they will not have to! do as their fathers and mothers | have done. We do need good roads, and we want macadam roads _ for ourselves and our children, so let ué al, farmers ang farmer’s Wivé, | vote for a bond issue which must be the proper thing to do.” Of course, Mrs. Nichols is right. | Bad roads bear down heavily on the | woman who lives in the country; | they are harder on her |her children than they are on her |husband. Bad roads prevent’ neigh- |borly visits and trips to town for | |shopping; they make social life in| jthe country almost impossible at cer | |tain seasons of the year.

Mrs. Nichols ut- ters the protests of countless thous- try. This is a word fitly spoken and in this connection The Landmark directs the attention of farmers’ wives and daughters to the pend- ing bond issue in Iredell. No class of our people are so vitally inter ested in good roads, good rural schools and other forms of rural development, as the country wo- men—the wives and daughters who live on the farm. They know what isolation means—what it means to be cut off from social intercourse with friends and neighbors. The husbands and sons can go when the wives and daughters can’t. They can go horseback when the roads are practically impassable for vehicles, or can go afoot when the women and children can’t. Every woman in the rural districts knows what it means to be kept away from town, from church on Sunday, from visiting a neighbor, and for the children to be kept away from school, on account of the mud. The aspirations for better things, for improved surroundings and better sociab conditions, is usually more pronounced in the women of the family than in the men. Therefdré The Landmark urges every woman in IredeM to use her influence with husband, father, brother and sweet- heart, for the good roads bond is- sue. If the women get to work the bonds will carry, for while they have no ballot they control the elec- torate. neers Universal Peace Yet a Dream.

Senator Overman’s View Reciprocity Treaty. In an interview with a Winston Sentinel reporter last week Senator Overman said he was not in favor of a genera] revision of the tariff at the special session of Congress, which convenes today, holding that a general revision should not be taken up until the regular session meets in December. Reduction in the tariff on wool and steel, espe Glally afi farming implements—in fact all things necessary for the home and farm—will be made, in the opinion of the Senator. He ex- pects to see farming implements and cotton bagging and ties go on the free list. Senator. Overman admitted that the reciprocity treaty was not drawn as he would have written it, but said: “I regard it a step in the di- rection of what I have been advo- cating on the stump and elsewhere for years, and I propose to vote for it—hoping that we can get some thing better later.”” The Senator is an earnest advocate of an inter- change of trade with other countrics and he sees in the present proposi tion a wise movement for both the Tmited States and Danse!

In this connection the following is an extraet from the Salisbury Post's report of the meeting of the Rowan County Automobile As- sociation, held last week: “The question of the State cen- tral highway, from Beaufort to Marshall, was discussed and approv- ed. The association decided to do everything possible to push forward this enterprise and a committee wae named to keep in touch with it. The sentiment prevailed that the high- way should go by a direct route to Statesville—that is by the way of Barber, Cleveland and Elmwood. “TheSroute by the way of Landis and Mooresville is found to be out of the way and of little or no bene~ fit to Salisbury. The Rowan amol-| ation will pull for the direct route and it will have the endorsement and approval of the leading citizens of the county. This places Salis-| bury on a junction point with the} great New York-Atlanta highway and is the only real business solu- tion of the matter.” The State central highway had never been located by Landis and Mooresville; in fact it hasn’t been located at all. It’s the Salisbury- Asheville highway which was to g0 from Salisbury via Mooresville, but the Salisbury folks seemed to have goured on that since they found the route was via Landis. | | The Sixty Hour Labor Law—Sar+ gical Appliances at Factories.

Supreme Court Justice Jam«q@ Aloysius O'Gorman, Democrat, of New York city, was elected United ‘States Senator tonight by the Legis- lature after the most protracted struggle over this position ever heli in the Empire State. On the fina] vote, the sixty-fourth, he re- ceived 112° votes to 80 cast for Chauncey M. Depew, whose term ex- pired March 4. The result was in doubt almost to the minute of recording the votes, owing to the uncertainty as to how many of the Democratic insurgents, who for over two months had pre- vented an election because of their opposition to Wiliam F. Sheehan, would enter the second caucus which bad been adjourned from day to day since Monday. At the close of a day of almost continuous negotiations the insur- génts capitulated and Justice O’Gor- | mown man was elected. A few minutes were. ballot was cast Justice|who was pardoned off the chain an’s resignation from bench was filed at the office of the Secretary of State, as a consti- tutional provision would have pro hibited-his election while holding the ‘office of Justice of the Supreme Court. - Wilda applause marked the end of the long contest and the Legis- lature, driven from the State cap- ito) by Wednesday’s fire, quickly adopted a resolution adjourning un- til April 17.

Tillman, once Lieu- tenant Governor of South Carolina, died here tonight at 9.45° o'clock. The end came very suddenly. He has been here for his health for the past six months and has been apparently getting better. A few days ago he became worse and reached the stage where it was hard for him to take nourishment. Late this afternoon he became much weaker, and about 9.30 had a col- lapse, the end following almost im- mediately. For years he was one of the politi- al leaders in South Carolina, rising to the position of Lieutenant Gov- ernor of the State as a follower of his uncle, United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman. In 1903, following editorial criti- cism in the Columbia State, he shot and killed on the streets of Co- lumbia the editor of that paper, N. G. Gonzales. A jury later acquitted | him of the charge of murder. The body will be takem today to the old Tiliman home at Edgefield, 8. C., for burial. Col. Boyden Declines Appointment | on Building Commission.

Part of this is to be charged up to the Panama canal, which has cost from $30,000,000. to $35,000,000 a year; but if we subtract the éntire cost of canal construction, the expendi- tures are still greater than the recei pts.

Baktimore Sun. “W. E. B.” writes from Washing- | ton to the Boston Transcript amresr tertaining letter dealing with Dem- ocratic: presidential possibilities. He finds that the men talked of for the nomination are Harmon, Wilson, Dix, Folk, Champ Clark, Governor Marshal, of Indiana, and Mayor) | Gaynor. By process of elimination [he succeeds in reducing the proba- | bilities to Wilson for President and Marshall for Vice President, and} thinks the chances good for the | naming of that ticket. He finds, however, that Champ Clark will have, as Speaker, a fine opportuni- ty to strengthen himself with the party, and thinks if he shall take proper advantage of it he may se cure an advantage over the oth- ers and get the nomination. Wilson, however, he believes, will be the strong man when the conven- tion meets. He will go to the con- vention, so this writer thinks, with all the delegates from States east of the Alleghany mountains, which means, of course, a great big start toward the nomination. He thinks Wilson has grown stronger contin- ually since his election as Governor of New Jersey, and that unless he does something to stop his growing popularity he will stand the best chance of being made his party’s Standard-bearer. All of which is interesting and not without very considerable probability. The Dickens Centenary. Baltimore Sun. Lovers of the works of Charles Dickens have undertaken tp get up a centenary testimonial that has in it more of practical merit than most testimonials possess. Asthe author reccived no royalties from the sales of his works in this country—and they reached’ the astounding num- ber of twenty-five millions in fifty years—it is proposed to give every reader of his books an opportunity to show appreciation by purchasing a set of “Dickens’ Centenary Stamps.” the profit from the sale of which will go to his descnedants. These stamps are designed to be af- fixed to the volumes of the author’s works, no matter how bound, as showing a desire upon the part of the owner Ww aid in some manner in securing to tae descendants of the great writer some of the pecumi ary returns that should have been his. The stamp is a handsome work of art and will embellish the book that bears it. The committee hay- ing this centenary testimonial in charge is composed of men whose names are sufficient guarantee that it will be made a success and that the returns will find the proper re- cipients. Cardinal Gibbons, former President Roosevelt, John Wanama- ker and William Jennings Bryan are among the members of the committe named to bring the movement to a g@uccessful issue. And every lover of Dickens, rich and poor, can con- tribute toward that success. quntanlbnepsdinigiuhempciccnaa, Bogus Cloth. What je Paint?

A GAS PLANT POR STATESVILLE. A Franchise Has Been Agreed on, Pinal Action to Be Taken in May. The public will recall that sev- eral weeks ago Mr. Sydiey Kenney, of Philadelphia, visited Sta’ and looked over the town with a ‘yiew to establishing a gas plant, He submitted to the board of alder- men a copy of a franchise he desir- ed passed, but the board changed. the franchise in many particilars and since then negotiations have been pending. . Mr, Kenney and hia attorneys, Mesers. D, Howard Evans, of Phil- adelphia, and R. H. McNeill, of Washington, were in town this week and at a called meeting of the ai- dermen Tuesday a franchise was agreed on.

Paid a Dollar For a Copy of Tha Landmark. Mr. Showman, a traveling man who was in Statesvile d few days ago, was telling Mr. R. L. Poston about seeing a gentleman pay $1 for a copy of The Landmark in At- lantic City last summer.

A gentleman whom Mr. Showman didn’t know askéd for a copy of the Statesville Landmark, + telling the boy he would give him $1 four a copy. The boy had to ad- mit that he didn't have a Landmark, but he asked where the paper was published and said he would get a copy. Next day he called with a copy of The Landmark, two days oki, and the man who was anxious for a copy of this valuable compendium of information passed over a dollar and took it, and was glad to get it at. the price, no doubt.

KRROR IN STATE POLL TAX: Suit Against State Auditor to Cor rect Figures of Revenue Act. Raleigh News and Observer, 5th. Iuadvertence in the wording of the revenue act pasped by the re- cent General Asembly, resulting in not Maintaining the ratio between the tax op personal property and On polis, has made necemsary the institution of a stit so as to carry out the purpose of ‘the Legislature. On bebalf of the Governor the Attorney General yesterday inetitut- ed a suit of the State against the StateAuditor to~compel him to print in the blanké sent out to the va- rious county commissionera the cap- itation tax ag $1.36 in place of $1.- 29, as in the present act. The suit was instituted in the State Superior Court of Wake, and is to be heard at once so as to get it to the Su- preme Court in time for a decision that may be used in preparing the bDlank. The property tax was made 45 cents on the $100 as a State tax, the items being twenty-one cents for State purposes, four cents for pen- sions, twenty cente for publie schools. As the poll tax, by con- stitutional provision, ia to be three times the ad valorem tax, it should have been named as $1.35, but in DPiace of this it was left at $1.29, the figures of . the ‘revenue act df 1909. In that year the ad va- lorem tax was 43 cents, the items 21 cents for State purposes, 4 cents for pensions and 18 cents for pub- lic schools. The increase In i911 of 2 cents for public schools would have added 6 cents to the $1.29 poll tax, but inadvertently this was not done and the case is to remedy this. A case exactly like the present One was before the Supreme Court in 1897, being brought by Govern- Or Russell against State Auditor Ayer. In that case the Supreme Court held that the failure to ob- serve the constitutional equation made Poth the property tax and the poll tax void and that the revenue act of 1895 had to:take the place of that of 1897. In that case, how- ever, Justices Clark and’ ughass filed dissenting opinions, ma jority opimion being by Chief Jus- tice Faircloth, Justices Furches and Montgomery. In the present cage the Attorney General hopes that the Supreme Court... will overrule the opinion of the court in Russell va. Ayer case and that it will adopt the view of the dissenting justices, that i was clearly the purpose of the Legis lature to make the poll tax $1.35 and preserve the equation, that the ad valorem tax is the basis, and thet the poll tax must be made three times that tax. In aN probability the case will be presented, perhaps this after- noon, to Judge Frank A. Daniels, resident judge of this district, who is now holding court in Greensboro. | His decision is expected at an early date and it is hoped to have the Supreme Court pass on the matter next week, so that the State And- itor may be able to issue tiie blank forms at once to the county commissioners. (The case was heard by Judge Daniels at Greensboro Wednesday and he decided that the levy was unconstitutional because the equa- tion Wag not observed in the poll. If thie decision is upheld by the Supreme Court, the 2 cents increase for the schiool tax will be lost and the tax bevy will be the same as last year—“The Landmark: ] Congressmen Draw Seats. Washington Special, 4th, to Raleigh News and Observer. . The North Carolina delegation as a whole drew lucky numbers when the lottery for seats took place in the House today. Representative Kitchin was the most unfortunate, his number being one of the very bast to be drawn from the box by the bHind-fokded page boy, and he was compelled to select one of the un- desirable seats in the Cherokee strip, which is a row of seats on the minority side provided for the overflow of the majority. He will, therefore, be far away from his Democratic brethren unless he finds some generous friend who is willing to trade. It is quite probable that he will secure a more desirable seat, as his position on the ways and means committee wih demand considerable work on the floor of the House and it is quite essential that he be well located. With the exception of Represen- tatives Webb and Gudger, whose Seats are back, the remaining mem- bers of the delegation drew seats right in the middle of the majori- tyeideand are located in a bunch, so tWat they will be right in the thick of the fight for some time to come. . .

Now that the Renacrsts have in ‘to cut expenses, may gome chance of their reducing thé daily sum spent by the government, which is conceded by the Treasury Department to be almost $3,000,000 the day.. There has been a tremen- dous growth in {he number of those on Uncle ‘Sam’s payroll—in fact, there are now 700,000 persons on this list, one for every twenty vot- ors. ‘ According to the New Orleans Daily States, Congressman McHen- ry, of Pennsylvania, a member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, has been doing. some figuring since Congress adjoumed. “He has found thet the per capita, cost of the Federal government for 1910 was $12.10, as compared with $10.78 for 1900 and $7.30 for 1880. This increase, he asserts, is “out of all proportion ‘to the production and earning of the people.” . His figures demonstrate that if the government expenditures last year were divided among the voters the per capita tax for each voter would be more than $75. Therefore, he argues, it should cost less per capita for 90,000,000. people to maintain a govrenment then for 50,- 000,000, but, instead of being leas, the per capita cost has been increas- ed from $7.30 in 1880, when — the population was 50,000,000, to $12.1 in 1910, when the population was 91,000,000. It is apparent, therefore, that the Democrats are nove too soon in be- ginning their reduction of govern- mental expenses. The high cost “of government has gone about high enough. Governor Kitchin Will Appoint Judge Adams’ Successor. Raleigh Dispatch 3d. Governor Kitchin will have the ap pointment of the successor to Judge Joseph S. Adams, of the Superior court bench, whose death from apo- ‘ plexy occurred at Warrenton Sttt® day morning after he had presided during the past week over theWar- ren county Superior court. The se- * jection will have to be from among the lawyers of the fifteenth judicial district, which ig composed of Bun- ‘combe, Transylvania and Madison eounties. There is no indication as ‘to who the probable appointee --will be: It is a significant fact that back in August,1908,Govrenor Glenn appointed Judge J. D. Murphy to this judgeship to succeed the late Judge Fred. Moore, and that Judge Adams, who was an-active candidate for that appointment, went into the judicial district convention later in the fall and defeated Judge Murphy for the Democratic nomination, suc- ceeding him on the bench after the regular election. Now it is being gaid here by many that it would be a logical course for Governor Kitchin to give this appointment to Judge Murphy. The appointment will have to be, it. is said, from among lawyers who were for Craig and against Kitchir in the guberna- torial contest three years ago,Craig being an Asheville man, that whole section was for him. State Senator Martin, of Asheville, is being men- tioned as an especially “shining _ mark” for the judicial appointment in the event he ‘would accept it. The crowded condition of dockets of the courts of the State and the over. worked status of the Superior Court judges geueraily makes it pretty certain that an appointment will be made with the least possible de- lay AE of Lands Desired By Commission.

Yes, our forefathers fought, bled and died for those. ib- erties, but had you ever thought that our forefathers were a progres- sive pedple.in their day and gener- ation? I believe if our forefathers could come back from’ that distant clime,from whence no traveler e’er retums, and gaze upon the mud holes in Iredell county's roads, they would vote for good roads, “A Voter’ says that.the element referred to as “old fogies” are a considerate. class of meh, etc. But why do they prefer to stay in the old. ruts? Why don’t they catch the spirit of progressiveness? It seems that both of you are labor- ing under the impression that if the bill carries you will be taxed to death. That’s a mistake.

I’m proud of the fact that I’m an American citi- zen; yes, proud that I’m a citizen of Iredell county, North Carolina. I long to see old Iredell’s waste places built up and the county placed upon a high plane of prog- ressiveness. I’m tired of seeing our faithfpl old horses beat and pulled to death in Iredell’s mud holes. For heaven’s sake let’s be kind to our faithful old horses, when they have labored for us and our loved ones so faithfully. Let’s get good roads, so the faithful old horse can puja load without so much fatigue.’ If we had a good road from here (Eagle Mille) to Statesville I could haul as heavy 4 load as my wagon would hotd up. The way it is now, I have to load my wagon according to the worst places in the road. Now, “Old Fogy” and “A Voter,” I hope you will see the error of your way and vote for good roads. ANTI-FOGY. The Dukes Responsible For Ciga- rettes in China. “The Dukes can give money to colleges and win favor by their phi- lanthropy, but the Dukes can’t wash out the blood of China which is on them,” declared Rev. C. E. Mad- dry in a sermon at the First Bap- tist church. Mr. Maddry was de- ploring the fact that while Christian America ‘is sending missionairies to China and other heathen nations at the same time America is also sending ship boads of liquor and ci- garettes to the same countries to aid the devil in defeating the cause of missions. Sometimes the same ship which carries the mis- sionary to his rae labor also carries a cargo of liqtor. The minister called attention to a dispatch in the papere telling of the large sums of money Deing spen by the American Tobacco Company in promoting its cigarette business in China by teaching the Chinese to smoke, and declared that it was a crime for America to place the cigarette curse on China just at the time China is doing all in her power to stamp out the opium curse It was at this time that he denounc- ed the Dukes, the controllers of the ‘tobacco trust. ——2X» Speckly Handle Razor Too Much Fo Him. Greensboro Daily News. Sunday afternoon Jo. Holt, a co- caine dopist, got boaded on the “heavenly powder” and proceeded to take charge of all that portion of South Elm street south of the Southern railway tracks. While op- erating his flying machine—as he thought—a negro who works in a livery stable nearby interfered with Holt. This so angered the would-be aviator that he whipped out a razor and made for the negro. The razor was one of the kind with an im- spotted. The negro came a good deal nearer flying than Holt did, for he ebuded his enemy without any trouble at all. When telling of the affair to the police officers,the negro stated: “I never could stan’ one of dem speckled-handled razzors, boss.

What Highway Improvement Means. From an Address by W. J. Cocke, of Asheville. ; The United States is far behind the nations of the earth in road construction and transportation. It ranks dlong with Mexico. Over the improved- European roads the aver- age cost is seven cents-to transport a ton a mile, while over. the roads in this country the cost is 25 cents per mile. The annual cost of trans- portation over the common roads in .this coumtry reaches more than a billion doWars; thus it is seen that if the cost of hauling here be brought to the equality of the’ Btro- pean charge, there would be a sav- ing of more than six hundred mil- lions annually, an amount equal to the value of the South’s entire cot- ton crop. Improved highways mean, too, an increased population, and an increas ed population adds to the taxable wealth and decreases the general burden of supporting the govern- ment. Improved highways mean that the country and the city shall be brought imto more intimate rela- tions, and their more intimate rela- tione mean that the city shall be countryfied and the country shall be cityfied, with a better feeling and understanding between them. Improved highways mean added value to every acre of land adja- eent, and increased land values mean independence and power. Improved highways mean easier facilities for commumication, and mean improved social eonditions. Yes, improved highways mean greater profits for labor, bower tax- es, more friendliness, larger wealth, better schools and churches and homes. They mean indeed security and prosperity and happiness for all the people. To Impeach Sheriff Because of Lynching. Mobile, Ala. Dispatch, 3d. A news dispatch from Montgomer says: Governor O’Neal, in commenting on the Union Springs, Ala., lynching of yesterday, said this morning: “This is the firet lynching of a prisoner since my inauguration as Governor of Alabama, and I will use every means at my command to make it the last. The people of Alabama may as well understand right now that such acts will not be tolerated while I am Governor. Every prisoner, no matter what his color, is entitled to the protection of the law, and I propose to see that officials under my command do their duty or suffer the conse- quences, “Stepa will be taken at once to impeach the sheriff of Bullock coun- Four Aces Too Much For Poker Player. When Nathan Anderson, a negro about 60 years old, caught four aces in a poker game at Spartanburg, 8. C., Friday, he dropped dead. Sever- al negroes were playing a quiet game in a barn on Broad street, within one block of the police head- quarters, and, judging from the fa- tal effect the big hand had on Na- than, the cards had evidently been running cold in his vicinity. When hé skinned back the celluloids and his eager gaze fell upon the four biggest ones in the deck,the shock was too great for him. He died of heart failure in_a few seconds. old New Furniture.

The court held that while the manufacturer of a product “under a secret formula” had a right to monopoly of manufac ture,that the court could not insure him the “unnecessary monopoly” of eontrolling the price to the consuni- er; that the manufacturer, hav- ing sold the product at’a price sat- isfactory to himself, had no right, either under the common law or the Sherman anti-trust law, to dic- tate the price at which the retailer a@hould sell to the consumer; that the public has a right to the bene- fit of competition. While we don’t know the exact status of the Standard Oi) and tobac co trust cases in the Supreme Court, the above decision is cer- tainly not a favorable omen for them. These companies not only seek @ monopoly of manufacture, but they, attempt to dictate and do dictate to the retail dealer. .They are not the only concerns who do that, for Many manufacturers fix the retail price on their product and if the retail dealer violates the agreement as to cutting prices, or in some wases by handling the goods of other concerns, he is put on the “Diack st’ and is not allowed to handle that particular product. It ‘would seem that the decision above quoted has a clear bearing in all these cases. Qe Two prominent newspapers of the State. which had been carrying much advertising for liquor dealers, ré- eently cut out this sort of business, which was proper as The Landmark Sees it, and these papers have been highly commended for their action. All of this reminds us,however,that the great majority. of the papers of the State have never carried this sort of businese, and some who had carried it cut it out as woon as the prohibition law was passed, However, the commendation of those who have lately come into the fold is in accordance with the Scripture as recorded in Luke, 15:7: “I say unto you, that likewise joy Shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety aad nine just persons, which meed no repentance.” 5 Se From the disclosures in the Lori- mer bribery investigation by the II- Mnois Legislature, it may yet turn out that those Senators who voted to acquit Lorimer were mistaken— ven if honestly mistaken: If, as mow seems to be a fact, $100,000 Was spent to elect Lorimer, it is lear that Lorimer was elected by corrupt and dishonest methods and no man so elected should be aliow- d to retain the position which has thus been acquired; and while Loni- mer has been shown to be a man of clean personal character, it ie impossible to believe that he had# no; knowledge of the wholesale use of money in his. behalf and the Matural result of the use of the mon ey. President Taft transmitted a brief message to Congress Wed- mesday urging early action on the Canadian reciprocity agreement..“He @ays he is‘ “constrained in defer- ‘ence to popular sentiment and. with @ realizing sense of my duty to the Sreat masses of our people whose welfare is involved,” to urge upon Congress early action on this agree- ment. ee The sixty-second Congress met in extraordinary session Tuesday. It ‘was called to secure an action on Canadian reciprocity but other mat- ters will be taken up. The roli-call of ne Dipartgy 4 showed 365 members Present o e total membershi 391.

Funk, general mana- ger of the International | r Company, before the State Senate bribery investigating committee, to- day exploded the biggest sensation of the Lorimer bribery case. , Hines, of Chicago, a millionaire lum ber dealer, asked him as a manager o of the Harvester company to con- tribute $10,000 to reimburse certain men who had put up a $100,000 “slush” fund to elect William Lori- mer to the United States Senate. The Harvester Company manager further testified that Mr. Hines named Edward Tilden,wealthy Chi- cago packer, ag the collector of this fund to reimburse the men who, as Mr, Hines was quoted as having said, had ‘‘underwritten” the elec- tion of Lorimer. rh : _My,-Funk declared that his ob- ject in giving this testimony was to gave “H. H; Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago Record-Herald, from a possible jail sentence ag a result of Mr. Kohlsaat’s refusal to give cer- tain information, demanded by the committee last week.” The witness said he had given Mr. Kohlsnat information in confi- dence upon ‘which the Chicago pub- lisher had based an editorial. The publication in February last of this editorial, which charged the use of a $100,000 fund to elect Lorimer,re- sulted in the calling of Mr, Kohl- gaat as a witness before the commit- tee. He refused to make known the mame of Mr. Funk and was given one week’s time to d@ivilge this mame, or stand in contempt of the Senate committee. Funk testified today that he vol- untarily released Mr. Kohjeaat from the pledge of confidence when he felt that the publisher would be sent to jail unless the information was given. ; {Hines has denied Funk’s story, as was expected The Landmark. ] Big Land Graft Case to Be Tried in Charlotte. Charlotte Observer, 5th. A counterpart of the famous Amos Owen cherry tree case may be developed at the present term of Federal Court when it begins the trial of F. H. Sibley and J. C. Mas- ters,on the charge of using theUnit- ed States mails to further fraudulent schemes of the Albemarle Develop- ment Company. Masters and Sibley are indicted for their activities in connection with the exploitation of a property of 100 acres adjacent.to Albemarle and just south of that place by rep- resenting that it wae to be devel- oped on an expensive and elaborate scale by the bduilding of a sanato- rium, opera house and other im- provements which should transform i into a health and pleasure resort of the highest type. .As a matter of fact two buildings were built at a total cost, it is said, of $6,000 to $8,000. Lots were offered: for gale at $12 apiece. No person could buy more.than two lots and no family More than four. Agents were se- cured throughout the United States and through these, thousands of lots were soki, the receipts according to one rumor having run up into th hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is as-yet a subject of specuia- tion. The Albemarle Development Com- pany, which was never legally or- ganieed, had for its president W. C. Irwin, of Salem, IlL., while Mas- ters was its secretary-treasury. It began operations in 1909 and con- tinued in business until the arrest of Masters and Sibley in January of this year at Jackson, Miss. They were brought here and confined in the county jail until some weeks ago when, in rapid succession, they se- cured their Mberty under $5,000 bond each. Sibley was formerly a resident of Stanly county but for a mumber of years has not resided in this section. Masters is from Hot Springs, Ark. No Decision In Standard Oil and Tobacco Cases, Washington Dispatch, 3d. Keen disappointment prevailed to- day in the vicinity of the Supreme Court when that tribunal finish- ed its weekly task of handing down decisions without touching on the dissolution suits against the Stand- ard Oib and the tobacco corpora- tions. : The biggest crowd that has at- tempted in years to get into the court room today blocked the corri- dors in the capitol. Women and men stood in Hne for hours,even while the court was taking recese for luncheon, in the hope that they would gain admittance. The sixty odd who were fortunate enough to procure seats within the court room early in the morning seemed to make an all-day’s visit of it, and consequently the patient and impa- tient ones on the outside remained outside. Governor Harmon, of Ohio; Senator Root, of New‘ York, and a long list of distinguished personages waited throughout the three hours the court was announc- ing opinions, believing that the “trusts” cases might be decided. The failure of the court to de- cide the cases today precluded the announcement of the decisiong un- til next Monday, at least.

He-made the property. of the W. W. Avery estate bring hand- some returns to the heirs, who had perfect confidence in him. Mr. Morehead Avery, a leading lawyer of sons who committed the fraud. The Dallas, Texas, Waightstill Avery, of j aren aaa te eral thousand Plumtree, Mrs. G. P. Erwin and Mrs J. H. Scales all joined in a general power of attomey giving him full and ample authority to manage and sell the lands as he saw fit. He opened up Avery avenue, one of the leading residence sctions, and the deed to every lot on that and More- head street is signed by him. Up to his death he could never mention his old master, Col Avery, as he called her, without tears coming into his eyes. He was the trusted friend and counselor of the family, and Mrs. Avery, after her husband's death,consulted him and relied upon his judgment in everything relating) to the estate. One of the proudest moments of this old slave’s life was when Miss Addie Avery, the yourrcst daugh- ter, married Hon. John I!cmphill, of South Carolina, and he was apon to “give away” the bride. He considered himself a part of ‘the family and what touched them a}- i stecteds hiss.

It is bearned at Wilmington that in a cargo of rosin, which recently went from Wilmington consigned to Bristol and London; $00 barrels-out’ of a cargo of 12,000 were found which had rosin in each end of the barrel and in the center was dross. The shipment was made "by the American Naval Stores Company, the barrels having been placed on the vessel just as received from thé various turpentine distilleries. It is gaid that each barrel bore the pri- vate mark of the producer and ef- forts wi be made to find the per- dollars. Through the port of Wilmington the past month foreign exports amounted to over $400,000 in value more than the same month last yearand imports amounted to $533,- 534, against $225,107 for the same month last year. An increase is also shown in the number of vessels entering the port. There were eight foreign vessela to visit the port against three for March of last year. eee = ened NO REASON FOR DOUBT.

The trouble with the greasy salves and lotions, the so-called dandruff and scalp cures you have tried 80 far is that they don’t do anything but temporarily relieve the itching and cake the dandruff so it doesn’t fall until it’s dried out again.

Already some persons and papers are agitating the chances of certain eandidates for election next year. That which is most mentioned is the election of United States Senator to succeed Senator Simmons. There is quite a discussion started as to who he will be, aud the two names most frequently mentioned are Sénator Simmons (as his own suc- cessor) and Gov. Kitchin, both of whom are said to be avowed can- didates. Both of these gentlemen are worthy of the office, but it is too soon to begin now canvassing their claims and merits. Next year will be full time for it, and it is hoped that this year there will be no campaign 4mong the aspirants for that or any other office. The people of North Carolina are not, worrying themselvse now as to who will be our next Senator, Gov~- ernor or any other officer. It will be bad enough to distract them next year with a discussion of the various aspirants for office without beginning now. Our people have or ought to have their time and at- tention directed to the best measure for their upbuilding and not dis- tracted with discussions about can- didates tor office ___. ————— Cotton Grows on Trees in Hawaii. Mr. M. E. Covington,.a native of Memphis, for some years a resi- dent of Honolulu, Hawali, was in Rockingham a few. days ago and gave the Post some interesting in- formation about the coon grown in Hawali. In that country, says Mr. Covington, cotton is planted in 10-foot rows and ten feet apart; does not produce the first year, but the stalks or trees live 75 years, make a staple of 2% inches that sells for 40 cente per pound and produces 2,000 pounds of lint per acre. It has to be picked every day in the year, or the wind will blow it away. As here, cotton has its eriemies, The maggots get in the geed and make the crop very uncer- tain. Cotton grows wild on the mountains, the trees are a foot in d@iameter—hase to be gathered with step-laddere. The Hawalians are ex pecting the Democratic Congresa to put @ugar on the free list, hence they are putting in more cotton. The cotton goes to New, York and Japan. City Roller Mills, R. A.

Va., that when the home of Ware Marcum, a farmer, living in Mingo county, that State, was burv- ed a few days ago, $100,000 in cur rency, the hoard of years, was de- stroyed. Marcum, it is said, led the life of a miser and when he gold valuable timber and ooal land always demanded payment in green- backs of lange denominations. This eash he always kept in the house, fearing to intrust it to the banks. It is hard fo believe that any man could keep $100,000 in his house two daysand bealive, but this story may be true. A.D.

This day marked the opening of the trial of the Democratic party to de- monstrate its worthiness to re- ceive “the wider confidence” of the voters of the country. Asking his« colleagues to keep that fact upper- most in their minds during the present session of Congress, Repre- sentative Champ Clark, of Missouri, in his speech accepting the Speakership of the House, today outlined the measures through which the Democratic party hopes to continue to enjoy the faith of the- le. Tnteliigent revision of the tariff election of United States Senators by popular vote, changes in the House rules to permit proper consideration of public measures, economy in handling the purse strings of the country, the publica- tion of campaign contributions and the early admission of New Mexico and Arizona to Statehood were some of the things which Speaker Clark emphasized in the Democratic pro- gramme as measures which would b undertaken by the majority party in the House. » New York's Delegation Call on Pres- ident.

Aud along with Brown Harvey Dish- man, who was also ‘in jail for block- ading, also made ‘his eftape. jail delivery occurred about 1 o'clock Sunday .morning, according to the other prisoners, and up to this hour the whereabouts of the two escaped prisoners is unknown, al though the officers are mkaing ev- ery effort to locate them. Sheriff Deaton has offered a reward of $25 for Brown’s capture, and it is prob- able that the amount of reward will be increased. The escape of the prisoners was fot known to the officers — until Sunday morning,when Jailer Gilbert entered the cells to give the pris overs their breakfast. As the jail- ér approached the cells of the sec- ond story, where Brown, Dishman and Cleve McBride, all charged with distillimg, had been confined, McBride stepped to the front of the cell and calmly informed bim that he was the only prisoner in the cell; that Brown and Dishman-had sawed out and were gone. McBride then showed the astonished, jailer the place where his fellow-prisoners had sawed ,out and expiained that he could have gone, too, but didn’t , TO. RUSH THE ROAD CAMPAIGN.

Im the municipal primary Saturda Mr. L. C. Caldwell was nominated for mayor, defeating Mr. E. G.

Cooper; No. 3, L. B. Bristol and M. P.Alexander; No. 4, D. M. Ausiey and J. G. Shelton, Mr. GC. S. Tomlin and Rev. W. A. Lutz were named as members of the graded schoo! board to succeed Messrs. W. A. Thomas and W. T. Nicholson. Both candidates for. mayor had waged active campaigns and there was some activity on the part of} candidates fur aldermen, or their) friends, in at least two of the wards —the first and third—making the primary the most interesting for some years, and the vote cast was larget than usual. A large crowd CALDWELL WON care to do so. Two of the suppos- ed tool-proof bare of the cell had | been cut and removed, and passing | through this opening the prisoners | made their way to the lower corridor, from whence they crawled to lib-| erty through an opening in a bar- | red window made by two colored | prisoners who escaped some months, ago. | The bars were cut, says McBride, with four cross-cut files which were slipped into the jail by friends of Brown Satiirday night a week ago. Holding one end of the string, Brown threw a bali of twine out of the upper window and when he drew it back into the cell the four files were attached. McBride says. that Brown sawed the bars more than a week ago and started to leave that night, but the negro prisoners on - the lower floor threatened to” give” the alarm and he returned to. his cell. Brown then made a trade with the negroes, that if they would not give the alarm he would turn his files over to them when he left, and he did give at least one file to the negroes. When he left Sun- day morning Brown told the other prisoners that he was “going this time if I have to go over Gilbert” Mead body.” Brown went out firs’ and Dishman followed. After being told by McBride that Brown had given files to the ne- gro prisoners, Mr. Gilbert search- ed the latter and found one broken file and a new one undamaged. Fur- ther investigation revealed that the negroes had heen working on the bar of their cells and had two bare al- moet in two. It is believed that the broken file was the one given them by Brown and that the one was furnished from another source. McBride says the new file was *passed into the cell of thé ne-’ groes Saturday afternoon,and Louis Moore, a well known negro of the town, has been arrested on the charge of furnishing this file.

High Point Murderer Sentenced to the State Prison For Thirty Years. In Guilford Superior Court, at Greensboro, Friday, Moses Speaks, tormerly of Iredell county, who kill- ed his wife and son-in-law at High Point several weeks ago, was ‘con- victed ofemurder in the second de- gree. He was on trial only for the murder of his wife. Solicitor Gat- tis, after the taking of evidence was closed, stated.that he would not ask for a verdict of first degree murder. The case against Speaks for killing Wit Miller, his son-in- law, will probably never be tried. The children of Speaks were the principal wit nesses against him and alb of them declared their be- lief that he is sane. The defense introduced a number of witnesses with a view of showing that defend- ant was insane at the time he com- mitted the act, hiad been insane at other times and has always been more or less demented. The State offered witnesses in rebuttal of this. Records of two or three asy- lums in which the prisoner had been confined wére introduced. Dr. McKee, superintendent of the State Hospital at Raleigh, testified that) Speaks is now an escaped inmate of the Morganton hospital; that he but had gotten out of the asylum at Raleigh, where he had been mov- from the Morganton hospital. _ Judge Daniels Saturday sentenced Speaks to 30° years in the State prison, the full limit of the law. Speaks was unmoved during the | trial. After sentence had been pass ed he said that he was not responsi- ble for the crime, but that others He etated that they had taken his real estate and personal property away from him and that, infuriated at the deed, he had committed the dual murder. To the remark by Judge Daniels that Speaks’ wife was not responsible for his loss of property, Speaks said that she was responsible for the loss ot $200 worth of his personal property, and that for her pant in the work he had slain her.

Guilford is the only county in the State rich enough to build good roa: by direc: taxation,and yet Guilford is one couaty in the State which has built its roads by a bond issue. A few years ago Guilford voted a bond issue’ of $300,000 ~ for good Toads: “Since the building of good roads a revolution has taken pilace ——4n~ that—county.-In- the —iast-—ten- years the increase in population ig greater in that county than in any county in the State, and the ancrease in property has been great- er than in any other county in the State Ten, years ago Randolph stood mext to Guilford in white voting population. Now Guilford has twice the population of, Randolph and nearly a third more voting popula- tion. A few weeks ago the people of Guilford got together to consider the question of issuing more bonds for good roads. Upon investigation it was found that the county had a surplus each year, after repairing the roads and paying the interest en bonds and providing the sinking fund for said bonds, of $44,000 which could be used in building more good roads, Of course a county which has a surplus of near- ly $50,000 can put it in good roads and does not need a bond issue, and yet the tax rate in Guilford is only 79 cents on the $100 valuation of property. Keep in mind that the only county in North Carolina that is. now able to build good roads by direct taxation is the county of Guil- ford—a county which has built its roade with a bond issue. That is to say, we must do some- thing to make progress. Guilford spent $300,000 in building roadsand the result is such a great increase in wealth and population that it can now build roads without a bond is- . WUESDAY,. — - —.

Howev- er, he was quoted some weeks ago @s saying he would not be a candi- date, and this report had every ev- idence of being genuine at the time. _y-omhe ex-Governor of course has the right to change his mind, but there is a prevalent belief that he will not enter the race except by agree- ment or understanding with Senator Simmons.

There jare times when it pays individuals to go in debt and there are times when it pays governments to g0 in debt, but nine cases out of ten debts could be avoided by a more economical administration of the government’s finances. It seems to me that such a state of ‘afairs prevails in Iredell county today. Four hundred thousand dollars’ worth of good roads by a bond is- sue wilt cost at least between $800,- 000 and $1,000,000. Can we not ar range to pay a8 we go and save half of this amount? Everybody is expecting property to be increased a third, as it should be. Then, if we would vote a special tax of 33 1-3 cents for roads we would more than double our road funds. We could save a handsome sum to the county and for good roads by putting our county officers on salaries. By adopting these methods it’ seems to one not altogether conversant with the county's finances, that in six or eight-years-we coul@ build $400,000 worth of good poads and save the interest on the bonds. We will hardly get good roads by issuing bonds sooner than that. It is a significant fact that most of our county officers are bond advocates, but if they are so anx- fous to serve their county and do all in thetr power for the welfare of those who put them in office, why do they not advocate salaries for county officers? It is bedause they know to their advantage that our present system is but jittle better than a system of graft. I am not tiying to shift the question, but when they advocate salaries I shall vote for bonds. Before voting on this question every citizen should become familar with the~bill and its consequences, and the only campaign necessary will be to enlighten the voters on this head. If this is done and no tricks are worked, I shall be perfectly acquiescent as to the result of the election.

The case of the government against ‘forty barrels and twenty kegs of coca cola” was decided in favor of the Atlanta beverage in the Federal court here this after- noon. In ruling on a motion Judge Sanford held that caffeine is not an added or deleterious ingredient of the beverage. He overruled the motion on points relating to the misbranding feature of the altega- tion, but counsel for the government moved to dismiss, without preju- dice, the case on these points. A verdict was returned in favor of the defeuse. Federal counsel entered a motion of appeal to the United States Circuit Court at Cincinnati. The coca cola case has been one of the most important ‘ever tried inthe Federal court inthe South and the cost of the litigation has aee enormous.

SEEKING LIGHT ON THE BONDS —_— the Bill, To the Editor of The Landmark: Before we decide to vote «for road improvements or against road improvements, we should be glad to get-more light on a few pointp on the road bond law. In ‘section 4 of the road bond bill the com- missioners are vcsted with the pow- er to levy a sufficient special tax on all potlg.oll real estate and’ per- sonal property and all other sub- jecte of taxation for road purpose, ete., and thai this tax shall not be more. than 25 cents on the $100 of property and 75 cents on each poll. Mr. B. has $200 worth of personal property and we know that his road tax wilk be 50 cents, After 1912, Mr, B. will own $1,000 worth of real estate. How much will the commis- sioners levy for road purposes up- eu Mr. B.’s estate? Our poll tax for 1910 was $2.23. If a sufficient special tax on all polls of 75 centa is levied, will our poll tex mext year be $2.98? In section 18 of the road “bill, it says a uniform system of public reads for said county is to radiate from the towns of Statesville and Moores- ville as centers, so as to serve ey- ery township in the county. When will the radiations of the good roads ever reach Dagle Mills, New Hope, and Union Grove townships? How many roads will be constructed in vorth Iredell with the $400,0007 A great many of the voters in north Iredell see in section 18 the real joker of the road bond bili; tha when the townships around States ville and Mooresville get roads built, there will not be enough of good roads in the three townships in north IredeH. If we can ,be showy, with proof, that we can | as much work done on our roads'én north !redell as anywhere elee’ in the county, we will vote for the road bonds: otherwise we will not. don’t understand. If it has taken 23 1-3 cents upon the $100 of prop- erty and 70 cents of our pols tax té support the chain gangs it has been supported,how can we make payments on the coupons, create a sinking fund and continue to sup- port the chain gang with the road tax that is to be levied under the road bond bill? VOTERS. Jennings, N. C., April 3. 1. The question as to B’s proper- ty is not clear. sa 7 2 made for an increase in roa x af- ter 1912 or any other time. The Mmit is 25 cents. If B. has real estate assessed at $1,000 he will pay tax one $1,000 just as he is now doing. If it is meint that the property is worth $1,000 and information is de sired as to thé assessment, it can be said that the average assessment for real estate in Iredell is about 3-1-8 per cent., so that real estate worth $1,000 onthe market would assessed for taxation at $300 $400. Bnow pays 23 1-3 cents road’ tax and the levy-can’t be increased over 1 2-3 cents, for the limft is 25 cents. 2. The poll tax will be increased 75 cents if the full amount is levied No tax is now levied on the poll for roads because men are still requir- ed to work on the roads and it was Nort Voters Ask Bor Infor ty oe Certain Sections of | ~Tthe time cornies.

The commissioners have ar- mounced that it is their purpose to let the road work by contract and hire the chain gang to contractors. What will be done with the gang after that wi be determined when the time comes. It may be found best to abolish it entirely or best to keep it, but certainly this can be better determined in the light of the conditions then than now. Oklahoma Must Work Out Her Own Troubles.

Citizens of Eagle Mille township ~ Rave set an excellent example to the other townships of the county in working for the road bond issue. Mr. J. M. Smith, a farmer of that township, who is an earnest and en- thusiastic advocate of the bonds, has an appointment to speak at Hol- ly Springs schoo) house Thursday night. Believing that the bond is- sue is the best thing for his people, Mr. Smith is taking the time and trouble to go out and talk to his “neighbors and urge the matter © them. If the bond advocates in ev- ery township, in the county will go to work and exert their influence for the measure, it will be carried. —_—_S—s—SX—X—X— Keep it in mind: That if the road bonds are defeated you will go or paying the road tax just the game; the property assessment will be made and the assessment increas ed in Iredell just as it will be in 99 other counties in the State—in counties where road bonds have mover been mentioned; and if you are liable to road duty you will go on working the road just the same. The chain gang will go on doing what it can in road building each year, for certainly there is no pur- Pose to abandon what we have in good road work. What will it prof- it you, therefore, to defeat the road bonds? ee There “is one thing to be said in behalf of Judge Bob Peebles of the Superior Court bench, and that is, where a jury returns a verdict con- trary to the testimony he doesn't hesitate to tell it so. He has done that more than once, and when 4 jury in New Hanover Superior Court turned a murderer loose last Fri- day Judge Peeles denounced the verdict as an ‘outrage and ordered the jurors to get out and not return Glory to Peebles! Whatever may be @aid of him otherwise, he measurse up to the requirements on these oc- easions. If judges generally would reprimand jurors when their ver- dicts are openly and _ notoriously wrong, and discharge them from eervice, it would have a good effect. naecierertanecenscnpenntgentetni dette: Citizens of Memphis met Col. W, J. Bryan in Washington last week and urged him to locate in Memphie, The matter was presented at a ban- quet arranged for the purpose, at which promiment citizens of Mem-' phis, both the United States Senator from Tennessee and a number of | members of Congress spoke, urging the matter on Mr. Bryan. One speaker told him that Memphis | would raise $2,000,000 if financial | consideration would be any induce- ment. Mr. Bryan of course declin- ed. The financial offer was nothing less than an attempt to buy him, which would have discredited him for all time- had he accepted. The whole matter was a fool proposition, for as a business assset Mr. Bryan would be worth little to Memphis. Bot itis amazing what big fools some people can make of themselves when they try. The Landmark does not think much of the election of Senator Martin, of Virginia, as’ the Demo- cratic Senate leader. Senator Mar- tin is something of a ‘‘standpatter,” is entirely acceptable to ‘The In- terests,’’ and when it suits his pur- pose he votes for the very things the Democrats have all these years denounced. True, his election gives him no real authority. He is simply the chairman of the Democratic cau-| cus and by no means all the Sena- tors voting for him as caucus chair- man will share his views as to the tariff and other matters.

The weary watcher became yery, hungry and finally found cour- age to ask a negro portef where the Massenburgs lived. The dar-~ key showed his white teeth in- a, broad grin, and explained how big New York is and how little any one knew of any one else. The distraught girl broke down. The porter invoked the assistance of Mrs. Hess, of the Travelers’ Aid Society, who brought the waif to the Municipal Lodging house at No. 438 East Twenty-fifth street. There she told Superintendent York and Mrs. Hess her story. For some reason of her own the girl would give but scant informa- tion about her husband. - She would not say what his occupation is, but admitted that she had known him tor “some time.” Asked if she had a marriage certificate, she said no, but that her husband did.

Rev. H. D. Aves, Episcopal bishop of Mexico, te The Churchman, under the cap- tion, “The Church and Social Un- rest in Mexico.” And in the condi- tions resulting, the peon and the Tudian have arisen in reyolt against “their rich, proud brother of the North,”’ and his spoliation of their empire, says the bishop, fighting blindly in the main, against their thialdom rather than a human ene~ my. The eleven million of Mexico's fif- teen million souls, who are thus fet- tered, have witnessed the granting by their government of vast conces- sions to Americans, he writes. They have seen Americans grow wealthy at Mexico’s cost, and they see now themselves at the bottom of the so~ ciai scheme, working for a pittance and living in ignorance and discom-~ fort, he declares. From the bitter- ness ensuing, he asserts, has been fauached the revolutionary slogan: “Mexico for the Mexicans: Down With the Gringo!” Tnfant Chinese Ruler in ‘Command. Peking, China, Dispatch, 34.

Correspondence of The Landmark. , Laichowfu, Shantung Province, China, Feb. 21, 1911—The - plague continues to spread in this sec- tion of Shantung Province. Wt the past. few weeks scores of villag(a not hitherto reported have become infected within this and adjoining counties. In some of these mat- ters are in a desperate state, though at. seme points the spread seems to have abated, perhaps, however, to gain new force, as_ the seems sometimes to go at leaps and bounds. At 84 Hwoa, 18 miles west -of Laichowfu, a recent report states, there were 60 deaths on one street in three days. At that time the plague was confined to the one street, but has doubtless spread there and in surrounding country, as Sa Hwoa ie the business center, for that section. Reports come frot villages on all sides of us telling of many deaths. Some of the Chi- nese are alarmed, while others seem unéoncerned. Most of these are fa- talists and argue that there isno need of taking precaution or even notice of the disease. We are told that in the villages oftentimes where a whole family has -died neighbors enter tie houses and steal bed clothing, wearing apparel and hourchold articles from the utterly regardless of the contagion. It ie needless to say that many of those who commit the thefts will not live long to .yse articles _pro- cured. There is difficulty in ascertaining the real number of deaths in any village or locality. Oftentimes men will deny that there are any deaths, but after finding that it is known there are deaths will acknowledge that there aré many.

PR rrr he ee THE NEW PASSENGER STATION. The Arrangement, Perfections and Imperfections. The traveling public generally is very well pleased with Statesville’s new passenger station, which was opened to the. public this . week. The station was really. not entirely ready for occupancy--a few finish- ing touches are yet to be made on the interior of the building and a lot of contrete work ie to he done about the a. force of hands came to tear away the old station-and it was decided to move into the.new at once rather than delay this work. The new station, which ts built of red pressed brick with stone trim- mings and terra cotta roof, is a very handsome one,/being of a rather unique style of architécture, and when the work on its surroundings is completed it will present a very fine appearance. The milroad of- ficiale way that the work on the grounds will be done at once and that the freight depot will be im- proved in appearance. The white waiting room of the new station is more commodious than was expected but. the ladies’ retiring room and toilet is a disappointment. It is too small and js not properly partition-~ ed, there being little privacy about it. A writing table bought for the retiring room cannot be used there because of the size of the room, HYAMS-ANDERSON MARRIAGE, Dr.-3. R.-Anderson, of Iredell, and Miss Hyams Married in Ashe- The following is from the Ashe ville Citizen of yesterday: “The wedding of Miss Mabel Hy- ams to Dr. J..R. Anderson, of Cool Spring, occurred yesterday at noon at the residence of Mr. and Mm. W. 8, Hyams, on South French Broad avenue, of whom the bfide is a niece. The ceremony was perform- ed. by Rev. R. D. Sherrill, of Spen- cer. Miss Hyams is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hyams, of Linville Falls. The marriage of the young people was known by their most intimate friend but at the request of the family no mention was made until after the wedding occurred. The residence was charmingly decorated with the spring-like daffodil, with a back- ground of ferns and tropical plants. Preceding the-ceremony, Mrs. Josepr E.

Now that leaves $10,000 per year as @ sink- ing fund. In 40 years or less half this amount will accumulate $400,- 000, the face value of the bonds, and not require a cent more of taxes than we are now paying, or will pay after the next tax levy, whether the election carries or not. Now, it appears to me that if we farmers oan get this road bond meagtze catried and make the two townships of Statesville and Moores- ville pay 60 per cent. of the cost, and we farmers get 60 per cent. of thé benefit, we ought to trade at Once, and I am sure we will be @etting at least thie much out of | the court house at Bakersvflle, the being “for the purpose of discussing | and devising plans whereby the management of Mitchell county af- fairs could be improved.”’ The at tendance was large and after discu sion a committee was appointed to | wait on the aforesaid county offi- cers who are residents of the county of Avery, and ask them to resign.

Miss Teague’s parents are dead and she made her homé' with relatives. Her death was the first to occur at the Sanatorium this year, though numerous serious operations have been performed there since the fitst of the year.

One need not be surprised at an enunciation from the modern col- lege professor. Here is. something startling sent out from Ambheret, Mass,: “Swearing is a8 necessary as any other form of language,” gaid Prof. OlarenceAndrews to anEnglish class at Amherst College -thig morning. “When you burn your finger,” ‘he added, “you do not. stop to conaid- er what you are going-to say. It is natural to break out with some swear word, some oath which has served mankind for many ages. Swearing is and always will be the universal language ofman. Eventhough the exact meaning of a phrase be not known to a foreigner; still he can comprehend the nature of an exple- tive through its force, appropriate- ness and innate expressiveness.” Pro- fessor Andrews is a graduate of Yale, 1905, and is a popular membe of the Amherst faculty. s . .

Se A Missouri Tax ‘Dodger Caught.) According to a story from Ashe | ville, a large tax-payer in the State} of Missouri has represented for | years that a certain amount of his) holdings, aggregating $175,000, was) held by an Asheville lady; that the | money was invested in Asheville} and that taxes thereon were being | paid inito the North Carolina Treas- | ury. The Missouri tax assessors’ de- | partment became suspicious and an} agent was sent to Asheville. He fearned that the lady is not in fact the holder nor the owner of the notes and other collateral; that she | is not paying taxes on the $175,000 | of property in North Carolina and} that the State of Missouri was los- | ing so much tax Affidavits from} the lady and others were secur | ed by this agent from the State of Missouri and it is said that when | he returns to his native State the man who holds the notes and stock and other property, alleged to be listed in North Carolina will be call-| ed upon for considerable back tax.

WAR R, Manager. Statesville, N. C, —_ FRIDAY, April 14, 1911. _. he folks who write letters The Landmark with reference to the road bonds must exercise pa- tence. A. great many communica- tions are coming in and all of them Will appear in due season, but as the paper has to print some news as it goes along it can’t accommo- @ate all the road bond articles in one issue. They will have to take their turn and sometimes have to be held a week. While The Land- ‘mark is zealous for the bond issue, it is giving those who oppose the Donds an opportunity to be heard. f ——_——_ to It is as much a duty to keep one’s premises clean as it is to be cleanly of peréon and wear clean clothes. In fact, unclean premises are more dangerous to the citizen, for the public health is affected thereby; clean premises are not only healthful but attractive, the last being by no means the least argu- ment in favor of a general cleaning- up occasionally. The mayor has des- ignated next Tuesday, 18th, as a general clean-up day in Statesville and we should all fall to and give the town a general cleaning. The work should not be confined to one @ay in the year, but an extra effort should be made Tuesday. County Treasurer Sloan announces that he will charge no fees for hand- ling the proceeds of the road bonds, af they are voted, unless he has to give an additional bond for handling the funds, and in that event he will make only sufficient charge to cover the cost of the bond. This is fair mand eliminates the fee criticism. Truth is, the. commissioners are given discretion under the bill to way whether the treasurer should be allowed anything, and in any event the amount is limited to one- half of one per cent. on disburse- ments. But Mr. Sloan has solved the problem, for which he deserves congratulations and commendation. | It ie easy to, find excuse for almost | any sort of deficiency.

On many of these . products the present tariff is practically prohibi- tive and there are few importations of them on that account.

I[t would simply mean that the smaller townships could do almost nothing towards road construction with the smail amount of funds they would be entitled to if divid- ed in proportion to the amount of property in each township. Townships like Statesville and Coddle Oreek would fare well, if the money was divided as some suggest, giving each township its proper pro- portion. A plan of that sort would enable the townships of Mooresville and Statesville to build good roads in every direction, but it would work a great hardship on the balance of the townships in Iredell county. . @ There is but one right way to build good roads in Iredell county—and that’s for every citizen in the county to help each other and give Iredell a system of roads that will extend all over the county, in- stead of being confined to two or three townships. It’s the business and the duty of the larger and stronger townships, who pay the larger proportion of the bonds, to help the smaller townships, who have less taxable property. That means we must all pull together and work as a unit. Good roads are needed in every township and the only satisfactory method for our people as a whole is to build roads throughout the county for the best interest of all the people. You can bring lasting benefits to yourself and uutold blessings to future generations by register- ing and voting on May 9th for the Good Roads Bond Issue. If you stay at home on election day, it will count asa vote against the bonds. You must not only register, but also vote to make it count. This Bond Bill is a clean, simple, business-like plan that will give you 150 miles or more of good roads throughout Iredell county in the next five years and WITHOUT INCREASING YOUR TAXES over what they would be if Bond Issue had. never bee proposed. At the present rate of road building in Iredell county, it would require fifty years to build the same number of miles we cai construct in from four to five years with the money derived from Bond Issue. Ask for information on any point not perfectly clear to you, also for certified copy of Road Bill. It won’t cost you one cent and we will be glad to answer any questions.

B. Bagwell, at Loray, Tuesday evening at 12.30 o'clock, after a protracted illness of several months. While ete had beeh practically in a dying condition for a week, the announce- ment of her death brought sadness to many hearts and cast a gloom over the entire community.

Masters and Sibley, the men charged with promoting a fraudulen land scheme at Albemarle, who were on trial in the Federal court in Charlotte this week, were acquit- ted, Judge Boyd ordering a verdict of not guilty. Masters and Sibley had bought property near Albemarle for the al- leged purpose of developing a health) @nd pleasure resort. They sold stock in the company all over the/| South, and it beimg alleged that | their scheme was fraudulent and the, stock of no value, they were arrest- | ed in Mississippi and Brought | to Charlotte for trial, on the charge | of using the mails to defraud. | The contention made by the de- | fence was that there was no eéyi- | dence of any crime against the | United States postal laws. The in-| dictment had been brought under | the statute passed by Congress whio | went into effect January 1, 1911. | Judge Boyd held that all the essen- | tian elements of the offence alleg- | ed had been committed prior to that! time; therefore, in effect, the bring- | ing of the indictment under the B0- | called new statute was making it an | expost facto law. | During the trial it developed that | Postoffice Inspector Bulla, who had worked up the oase, had entered the office of Masters and Sibley at Albemarle and seized their books and papers. Judge Boyd ruled out the evidence thus secured on the ground that the seizure was unlaw- fully made. Hon. Thos. L. Johnson Dead. Hon. Thos. L. Johnson, twice Congressman from the twenty-first Ohio district, four times mayor of Cleveland, champion of the 3-cent street railway faré and prominent advocate of the single tax theories of the lafe Henry George, died at his home in Cleveland Tuesday af- ter .a long illness.

Johnson served later as chief of police of Louisville but soon became interested financial. ly in the street car system of In+ dianhapolis, Cleveland, Detroit and Brooklyn.

Kt ie apparent that the sentiment in favor of the good roads bond is- sue is increasing andifthe friends of the measure will exert them- selves the election on the 9th of May will result in a victory for the bonds. Reports from different sec- tions of the county are encouraging. The speakers who addressed meet- ings Saturday vight had very good audiences and found the situation encouraging. Most of the people are willing to hear and are open to conviction. Much of the opposition is based on erroneous Meas and the work of getting the facts before the people should occupy the attention of the bond advocates until the day of election. Meantime, remember there is a new registration and voters who ex- pect to vote must register. Also remember that voters liable to pol tax must pay the tax on.or before May 1st to be eligible to vote Rev. Chas. E. Maddry returned Friday from Nashville, Nash county, where he assisted Rev.

Saturday Mr. Davis and Sheriff Adams, of Alexander, destroyed a still in Alexander. The officers say that despite their frequent raids into the district infested with the moonsbiners, an enormous amount of booze has beet: manufactured in north Iredell and portions of Alexander, Yadkin, Wilkes and Davie counties. The biockaders have so many friends who afe constantly on the lookout for the officers that it is almost impossible to capture them in the act of violating the law. However, a number of cases are being developed and there will tikely be some arrests later. Misconduct at the Passenger Sta- tion. } An officer was badly needed at the depot yesterday morning. The colored ball team went to Mor- ganton for a game and about 200 other negroes were at the station to see them off. When No. 11 pulled in there wassucha mob of negroes between the train andthe depot that it was with difficulty that white pas- sengers got on and off the train. In fact two or three ladies who got off the train simply had to wait until the train pulled out before they could. go to the station and another lady had to call on a white man to pilot her thnough the ob. The negroes not only monopolized the space about the station but their conduct was disgraceful othenwise. They kept up such a noise—each trying to talk loud enough to be heard above the otherg—that one could hardly hear his own voice at times. - The railroad people and the town authorities should get together and make arrangements to have an offi- cer at the station at train times. falisbury-Statesville Debate.

McNeely DuBose, an Episcopal Minister, Drowned in Catawba River Near Morganton—Mr. Patton Drowned in the French Broad. ‘ Rev. McNeely DuBose, former rector of the Episcopal church at Morganton, was Jrowned in the Ca- tawba river near Morganton Satur- day morning. Mr. DuBose and two sons, aged 10>and 13,-. went to the river early to hunt ducks. The boys say their father shot a duck on the opposite side of the stream and waded in to get it. When about half way across the river he turned back. It is eupposed he found the water too deep and the current too strong. As he turned back he drifted down stream slight- ly and was hidden from their view by the bushes on the bank. The boys expected him to come out lower down the stream and walked down to meet him. Not seeing him they called and received no answer. They called for help, which came quickly. Search was made in the stream but the body was not found. Mr. DuBose was a native of South Carolina and was between 50 and 60 years of age. For 19 years he was rector of Trinity church, Ashe- ville, and was later rector of 8st. Mary's College, Raleigh. He was in charge of Grace church, Morganton, for three and a half years. A few months ago he was given an indefi- nite leave of absence on account of his health and later he resigned his charge. He spent some time in South Carolina and Florida and _,re- turned to Morganton last week, ap- parently restored. He had conducted services on Good Friday, the day before his death. He was a popular clergyman and greatly beloved. He is survived by his wife and five children. A daughter is the wife of Mr. I. T. Avery, of Morganton. The above facts are from a Morganton epecial to the Charlotte Observer. Mr.Wade Patton andtwo compan- ions were shooting ducks on the French ‘Broad river, @ Brevard, early Saturday morni when the boat in which they were rowing struck a rock and capsized.

Federal court opened yesterday with Judge Boyd on the bench. John T. Barber, of Barber Junction, was appointed foreman of the grand ju- ry. Judge Boyd's charge covered about the usual ground except thet he incidentally made a fine talk for good roads, which was timely. He probably didn’t know that issue is acute in Iredell just now, but something moved him to say a word in seagon andthe good roads advo- cates owe him a vote of thanks. The business of the court is light. Only one jury case was tried yes terday. Julius and Jenks Kanipe, ot Burke, were acquitted of the charge of iblicit distilling. .Some cages were continued and some sci fa cases were dismissed. The ses- sion of the court will likely be brief. District Attorney Holton was not present yesterday. Judge Coble, the assistant district attorney, repre- sented the government. Among the lawyers present yes- terday were: J. H. and R. B. Burke and A. C. Payme, Taylorsville; C. F. McKesson, J. M. Mull and R. L. Huffmann, Morganton; T. B. Bailey, Mockeville; Walter. Murphy, Salis- bury; A. A. Whitener, Hickory. Messrs. Payne, of Taylorsville, and Huffmann, of Morganton, took the oath as attorneys to practice in this court.

Lowrance of course knows how ‘The macadam roads in Iredell are not a fair test, for they have never been repaired.

The road hands do not repair them because they are not equipped for the work, or, which is more probable, because the average road force will neglect °a road until it becomes practically im- passable. To The Landmark's mind one of the strongest arguments for the road bond bill is the fact that it provides for working the road by taxation, under some general sys tem,and in this way the macadam roads and other roads.can.be kept in repair, while under the present system the macadam roads are neg- lected and little work of ¢onse- quence done on others. 6. “It shall be the duty of the commissioners of Iredell county to elect some competent and expe- rienced engineer to lay out. and su- pervise the building, improving and maintenance of the public roads of the county of Iredell and fix. his compensation, and appoint such as- sistants and overseers as may be necessary,’’ etc.—See Road Bond Law, section 16.

If a registered voter opposes a bond measure he cam vote against it by leave|staying away from the election. If his name is on the book and he doesn’t vote he counta against it. Now when registration books have been used become encumbered with a lot of names of people who have died or moved away or who may have be- come disqualified. This would un- repair work on all the roads, doubtedly give trouble, in that they will charge nothing. The Landwerk is with Mr. Lowrance on the salary proposition, as he well knows. In fact this paper ie some- thing of a pioneer in that Mune in Iredell. But we submit to him as a fair man, what good will it do to defeat the road bond issue because the county officers are not on a salary’ We do not believe it will advance the salary proposition. On the other hand we believe it will re- tard it. If The Landmark is spared to another year, it expects to fight for all it is worth for the adoption of a salary system in Iredell. The sentiment for it is growing and it is bound to come. We believe it will save $5,000 to $6,000 a year to the taxpayers of the county, and we don’t mind saying to Mr. Lew- rance, and-to others for that mae ter, that it is in The Landmark's calculation to get thie much addi- tional to add to the road fund. 8. The law specifically fixes the tax limit at 25 cents, but of course any Legislature can increase it or decrease it. It is fair to say, how- ever, that no Iredell representative will take the liberty of increasing the tax unless the people demand it, and if the people wamt the change thev have the right to make it. But so far as legislators are con- cerned, thé people can pledge them on the stump, and if the pledge is violated they can elect a representative at the next elec- tion who will do their will.

We have had bond elections in Statesville often enough to appreciate the trouble this gives. Hence the order for the new registration in this case. We can’t see that it is unfair to anybody. No bond advocate or anti-bond ad- vocate can vote until he puts his name on the book, and neither has an advantage over the other. Thir- ty days was given for registration and this affords ample time for all who desire to register, . without trouble or inconvenience. Whatever the people of the county may do about the bond bill, The Landmark is satiafied they do favor working the roads by taxation; that they want the inadequate and inef- ficient “hand seyatem” abolished. Therefore we think the provision for working the roads by taxation, and the abolition of the ‘“‘hand sye- tem,”” one of the best provisions of the measure.’ The provision for su- pervision of contractors is provided for in section 16, as quoted, and that also: provides for an engineer to lay out roads., to decide where they shall be built, which, as Mr. Lowrance truly says, is most im- portant. Other counties that have had road bond issmes have had a highway commission to give gener- al oversight tothe work. But mem- bers of a highway commission would have to be paid for their time and would be responaible to nobody but themselves. To gave expense, the committee that drew the road bond bill left the work in the hands of the county commissionera’ without any provision for mereased pay for the commissioners. And the ctém- mesionets are re@ponsible to the what is right. We therefore re- spectfully.submit to him that under this showing of the facte, which we insiet is fair and just, he use his influence for it. It is prae- tically io to offer any meas- ure that will Suit everybody, and while there may be some things in the present bill that don’t suit all of us, we insist that on the whole it could not be improved and those who really want good: roads, as we are sure Mr.-Lowrance does, should advocat it.

The co-operation has been very encouraging. Physicians, editors, teachers a.d a majority of the lay- men are umited in their efforts to eradicate the disease. A few lay- men who are still ignorant of the damaging effects of the disease are still skeptics. Three county boards of education of these five counties have taken steps to improye the sanitary con- ditions at the schools and in thie way check the spread of the dis- ease there, Rowan county board of education passed an order to erect sanitary toilets at all the schools at public expense.

Now, suppose he returns $!.- 000 worth of property each year The $144 will pay his road tax till he is between 78 and 79 years old Now, Bro. farmers,” study about this matter and let’s register and vote on May 9 for good roads.

This tax is levied under the gen- eral law and there isno limit. Two years ago it was increased from 15 cents to 23 1-3 and it can be in- reaped again. Remember that. But while no limit is fixed to, the road tax under the present law the Mmit &s 25 cents under the proposed bond law. Therefore, the levy cannot be increased more than 1 2-3 cents un- der the bond law,which is too small to contend about: But, say the bond opponents; the Sspecement will be increased. Cer- ‘ainly there is likely to be some decrease in assessment, but this as sessment and any increase because ef it is not a result of the bond law and to seek to create the impression hat this is the case is uncandid and unfair. Every citizen who can read knows that it has been the law am North Carolina for years to re @spess real estate every four years;. that this is the regular year for the assessment; that the assessment , Will be made in every county in the State—not in Iredell alone—and that the assessment will be made in this county if the bonds are defeat- ed the same as if they are voted; and would have been made the wame if the bonds had never been mentioned. We repeat, that the intimation that the assessment will be increas- _ ed on account of the road. bonds is without foundation in fact. The aapessors have been appointed re- @ardless of the bond issue and to charge that they are in league to make a special imcrease on account | of the bond isgue is unjust to them Any increase of assessment and any Encrease in taxes on account of the assessment is a natural increase, womething we have been having all these years. As this is not on account of the bond issue, the in- crease on acc.dnt of the assessment being regardieses of the bond is @ue, any increase on that score is aot chargeable to the bond issue, for it will be the same whethér or mot the bonds are voted. | Senator Simmons announces that be ig in favor of a primary to set- ‘tle the senatorial contest that is brewing in this State. The Senator ould not afford to take any other position, even had he desired to d: wo, for, as he points out in his announcement, he was chosen in a primary when he was first elected to the Senate. Gov. Kitchin urged =pon the Legislature the enact- ment of a State-wide primary law, dnd he of course is willing to submit his candidacy to a primary. So it may be regarded as settled that a primary will be ordered for the senatorial candidates, at least. Whatever one. may think of the pri- mary genePally, it is the best solu- tion of the senatorial matter.

Douglas was under constant fire for three hours. Agua Prieta surrendered to the rebels tonight efter one of the most spectacular battles of the Mex- ican ineurrection. There are many dead and wounded, including one American, E. W. Crow, who was struck by astray bullet in Douglas. Thie is the first time during the insurrection that any person has been killed on the American side as the result of the border fighting. Federal soldiers, to the number of 30, fled to the American eide an hour before the battle ended and were disarmed by the American troops. The rebels shot down many Federals as they ran. Wounded Federal prisoners were escorted from Agua Prieta to the border, where they were released as fugitives on American soil.

Democrats Pass Publicity Bill ae ter a Storm. ~— Washington Dispatch, 14th. Phe Democratic party met its first serious trouble in the House today at the close of a session marked by insurgency in the Democratic ranks by reason of which tife Republicans narrowly missed scoring a triumph. The House passed the Rucker bill for publicity of campaign contribu- | tions before elections. The fight arose over the extent to which publicity should be applied. But for the vigorous and- continued use of the Democratic party whip, an importantRepublican amendment extending publicity to the individ- ua) receipts and expenses of candi- dates for Congress would have been retained in the bill when it finally passed. As it was the amendment | was adopted over the protest of the Democratic headers, by the support of 52 of the Democrats, who voted with the solid Republican strength. Resort to a parliamentary move en- abled the Democrats later to get rid of the amendment; but 28 of their number refused to change their at- titude and stuck with the Republi- cans in opposing the Democratic majority. The Rucker bill. passed finally by a unanimous vote, but only after a stormy scene. The bill as finally passed makes more stringent the campaign pub-4 Moity law. passed in. 1910.

Any- thing affecting taxation is alwaye in- teresting, but this is especially go. The defendant company is located A‘ Statesville and capitalized at $50,- 000, which it saye is invested «as follows: Real estate, $12,590; stock in other corporations,"$10,350; Dbal- ance, $27,060. The company return ed for taxation the following: Real estate, $5,650; personal. property, $28,950. Im reviewing the case the corporation commiseion revised the returns made ‘by the company and fixed a corporate excess of $15,400 above the capital stock. The defendants raise the point that thereal estate was assessed by the local assessors at $5,650, and although the eal estate. had cost them $12,590, it would be un- fair to them to aseeas their proper- ty at a greater per centage than their neighbors.

The R. M. Knox Co. = ——_===== We ask you voters and taxpayers of Iredell coun- ty to read letter below which we have just received from Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt,’ State Geologist, and at the head of the North Oarolina Geological and Economic Survey. Dr. Pratt is recognized as one of tke greatest au- thorities on practical road constraction in theSouth, and his judgment and opinion on matters pertain- ing to the good roads question is absolutely unbias- practical experience. His letter is as follows: cence ren eiaretad tn the Goel road merenent in Ire- dell county, and sincerely hope to see people of your county vote the bond issue for roads on May 9, which will do more than anything else that ienbw of to bud up your county: educn- tionally and commercially, and place her e the most gressi ve counties of the Sinte. ¢ — re ‘Some of the reasons why. believe Iredell county should vote the bond issue on May 9 may be of interest to you. In the first the issuance pate Ww & eomaly “silt ease no increase, or ut a very small increase, in taxes, w as the years go by, will be much more than counterbalanced b te bnevonsed: net ieocuas that the farm is able to mak use tea lemrored ronde. Second, it makes available sufficient funds to render possible the accom- plishment of the construction of a definine number of miles of road within a definite time; while to obtain this same number of miles within the same time by direct tax is practically prohibitory “There is no valid reason why a county not utilize its credit, and thus obtain the benefit of an asset which every suc- cessful man in the State desires to obtain as a prerequisite to his “a and ee : re ought not to be any fear of bonds, for business is based on credit; os in this State the volume of is probably car- ried on upon less than 20 per cent. of cash investment. The poli- cy of ‘‘pay as you go’’ has been ched and used to our own detriment; and it will be found that many, if not a majority of those who preach tbis doctrine would do, if they can ma it, operate on borrowed capital, What Iredell county needs at the present time is a stable, settled financial policy, which will meet present requirements at the smallest initial cost. The complaint that we must consider posterity is an argument that should receive little or no consideration. Are we not posterity ourselves, and is it not a fair and equitable arrangement that future generations should pay for a portion of the improvements of our public roads, as they will derive just as great benefit from them as we do. _“Our ancestors did not provide us with roads, but they did provide us with a credit, and we should make use of this to ee advantage not only of ourselves, but of those who are to come after us. “fredell county has had a road tax of approximately the same as the limit that can be levied for the building of roads under a bond issue, and yet she hag little to show for it—last year three miles of improved road rted as constructed in the county. I believe it has been ‘aorounhie demonstrated that Iredell county cannot con- oo! een eae art time by a direct x unless Xx 18 an e one, say seventy-five cents on the $100 worth of property. She can, however, re a system of good roads throughout the county by raising a revenue issue, which will not require the levying of an excessive in fact, the tax would not be over twenty-five cents on the w eee “Trusting that Iredell county will take the most advanced step that she has ever takenin her histary by voting favorably. on the Yours very truly, “JOSEPH E PRATT. ‘State Geologist.’’ Dr. Pratt, inthe above letter, speaks of the tax not being over 25c. on every $100 worth of proper- ty. Now under the Road Bound Bill, section 4, there is a provision which states explicitly that road tax cannot at any time exceed 25c. on each $100 worth of property. As you know, the present road tax is 234c., and the board of County Commissioners under proposed road bond bill could not under any conditions make the total road tax more than 25c, in other words, the increase could not possibly be more than 1#c. on every $100 worth of property in excess of what it is now, and that is of course too small to consider. There is no desire or purpose on part of the board of county commissioners to raise the tax rate one penny, but by reading copy of the Road Bond Bill you will see that provision has been msde, as out- lined above, that perfectly protects the taxpaycr. Did you ever think of this point, Mr. Voter and Taxpayer. Under the road law as it. now exists, the board of county commissioners have fall power and authority to increase road tax; in fact under the present road law, there is no limit fixed as to what road tax shall bs. Now that is the law, and you can investigate for yourself. Remember, how- ever, under the proposed Bond BiJl you are pro- tected on that point, and there is a limit fixed which the board of county. commissioners cannot, under the ; on account of the rate of tax that it would require. at is the absolute limit, as per section 4 of Road ill. Farmer friends and citizens you can’t go wrong in supporting the Good Roads Bill. It is a clean, plain, business-like proposition that will give us a magnificent system of good roads throughout Iredell county in the next four or five years, and WITH- OUT INOCRESING OUR TAXES over what they would be if Bond Issue had never been proposed.

One writer says failure Gf the bond issue would. mean. that. the township plan would be and if so the weak townships not be able to build their bridges. | want to remind him of the fact that this ig about all any of them have re- ceived what work the chain gang force done. Another writ- er says the ‘township plan would would not be able to build one mile df macadam road per Year. There is a big difference in those statements, for it has been shiown to ua that it costs from $3,500 to $5,000 per mile to grade end .ma- cadamize the roads. I notice the commissioners have decided to hire the gang to the con- tractors who build the roads, which is better than the present way, but our prisoners at, court costs? Let us turn to other demand@ on the county, viz:* The recommendation by the grand jury of last court in regard to improvements needed at the county home. If I mistake not, there have been recommendations in regard to the home before, Now why is the grand jury required to vigit the home and make recommen- dations, if they see fit, and the rec- road. That is true, for several of them pay less than $500 the year. Under the present process of paying as we go, it will be many years before many of them will get a good road built, and it is to remedy this that the bond is- sue is proposed=-to get money to build good roads through the, coun- try promptly, The commissioners would do a very unwise thing to sell the pris- oners and quit road work unless something better is offered. If other counties can buy prisoners for court costs and work them profitably Iredell can, and Inedell is « big enough, wealthy enough and, we hope, progrebeive enough, to take no backward step. . The Landmark has.advocated th building of a modern county home for 15 years. We do mot recall that Mr. Morrison has ever before publicly ‘advocated that step, al- though he may have done so pri- vately. But while the county home has not been built it would be pu- erile to oppose a road bond issue on that account, for the road bonds will not interfere with building a county home. We now pay 7 cents jail tax. When the jail is out of the way, as it will be:in a few years, a similar special tax can be levied for a new county home with- out any increase in the tax levy. The Landmark urgently advocated an appropriation for the demonstra- tion work, and we gay now the ap- propriation should have been made. It was a mistake not to makeft, But did Mr. Morrison ask for the ap- propriation—urge it publicly or pri- vately—while the matter was pend- ing? The Landmark’s information at the time was that the reason ommendations go unheeded? Again, the farmers’ demonstration | work has been discontinuéd on ac- |} count of the appropriation not ‘Dde- | ing made to help carry it on. “Will mot say this appropriation should! have been made,but will say that it is generally admitted that when the | farmer prospers the business world) prospers also. The farmers of Ire- | dell are beginning to realize that | they know nothing about farming | compared to what is to be known. | If this be the case money spent in| educating the farmer will not. only cause him to prosper but will cause Statesville, which is the center of Iredell, to prosper; and last but not | least it will cause the young men | to stop going to where they do know | how to farm. All this may be an- swered by saying that we have a State experimental farm in Iredell, which we have (and we should. be proud of it), but its work is con-| +fined to one section of the county | where many in the county will not | see it for a long time at least, This | is not meant to refi on the coun- + ty commissioners: (aM of whom. are) honorable men) except they have | been too zealous for road work ety the demand of the minority of the’ people. As to the correctness of the latter statement the vote on the 9th of May will tell. Now, in régard to the higher as- sessment of property, the writer has been told that Greensboro was com- pelled to raise the assessment of property in order to get the amount of taxable property high enough so the law would allow them to make a second isste of bonds to carry on their graded school. If the bond is- sue carries it will be because the people are so much in favor of wors- ing the roads by taxation that they will vote for most anything which leads to that. I want to refer those who are going to vote for the bonds to section 22 of the bond bill for their serious consideration, as to whether or not all the roads can be worked by taxation after a large per cent. of the road funds have been spent in expensive road bulid~ ing. According to talk No. 2 in The Landmark in favor of bonds, $25,000 of the road tax will be tied up for the next 35 years. This is neither wise nor. just to the future gen- eration. ‘ First ‘we know but very little about the near future and Tess about the distant future. Sec- ond, the present generation sees fit to spend money in many ways our forefathers did not. Why not give the future generation the same privilege? Would like for the advocates of time to those who want it when they speak on this issue. W. E. MORRISON, JR. Stony Point, R. F. D. 1. P. 8. Will say in reply to ‘“Anti- Fogy’s’’ definition of ‘Old Fogy,” that those who are slow to go in debt may be more in favor of prog- ress than those who aré the oppo- site, as debt is always a great ob- stacle in the way of progress. W. E. M. As both the register and treasur- er have said they will take no fees for their service in connection with the, road bond money, it ts unnecessary to further haggle on this point, but seems to desire information right here The Landmark will give him what it has. When the committee drew the bi it had no accurate knowledge as to what the register’s fees might amount to, and ao, with the view of saving all possible cost, his fees were oliminated. When the bill reached the Legislature Senator Long took note of the fact that while the commissioners were given discretion to allow the treas- urer a certain amount, the regiater was allowed nothing. Senator Long considered this unfair, he says, and so he struck out the provis. fon depriving the register of fees. While the matter has been seftied by the action of Register Boyd, The Landmark is authorized to say that Senator Long assumes full re- aponeibility for the change; and with reference to the request for a division of time with road bond speakers, We oan assure Mr. Morri- son Senator Lorig will accommodate him at any time, and. we. have thé bond bill to give a division of |” as Mr. Morrison |: the appropriation was not made was because the farmers did not ask for it. Town people urged it, but so few farmers asked for it, while some opposed it, and there was ap- parently so Httle sentiment for it among the people most interested, that the commissioners did not feel warranted in making it, which The Landmark insiste they should have done. Mr. Morrison not only did not ask for it but he does not pos- itively commit himself now. His pur- | pose seems to be to divert the issue and muddy the waters. We heartily endorse all he says for the demon- stration work. It is most important that we do something to keep our young men at home and one of the most important things is to build good roads. Mr. Morrison does not say his in- formation about Greensboro is cor- rect. We do not think it is, but if for thie county can take care of the $400,000 bond issue without a fonc- ed increase in the assessment. The working of all the roads by is. e in anewer to questions submitted by Mr. S. A. Lowrance, in another column, to which the reader ts referred: If we waited to see what would please the future generation no public improvement would ever be made, for no public improvement of consequence can be made without debt. Our forefathers made a debt right here in Iredell county to build railroads. Does anybody think this was unwise or unfair to their children? Will anybody stand up and say that Iredell would be better off without ratiroads? But if our forefathers had proceeded on the theory that they should not contract a debt without consulting their grandchildren, we might be without railroads to this day. " HAIR HEALTH.

While returning from a visit to the country Wednesday morning Mrs T +W. Frazier had an exciting ex- perience at the bridge over the Statesville Air Line railroad, on the northwest side of town. Mrs. Fre- zier was alone in her buggy, driving the trusted family horse. It was raining and the mud of the steep arehed bridge was very soft and @lick, and when the horse attempted to climb the bridge he slipped and fell, and was unable to rise. In his struggles the horse threw him- self violently against the side rai ings of the bridge, but fortunately called for help. nearby heard her cries and secur- ing other help ran to the bridge. After detaching the horse from the bugey they managed to get him on his feet and Mre. Frazier later drove home. The horse was badly ekinned and bruised but his injuries are not permanent. Mrs. Frazier suffered consider ably from nervousness on account ot the experience and it was first thought that she had been hunt in jumping from the buggy. Back Brown 'Case Again—Court News. .

The principal feature of the evening was a bril- liant address on “The Appeal of the Kingdom to Christian Heroism” by Dr. W. L. Poteat, president of Wake Forest college. After addressing the convention Dr. Poteat asked permission of the ministry to announce a text, and opening a Bible read the following from the second chapter of John's first letter: “I haye written unto you, young men, because you are zitrong and the word of God abideth in you and ye have overcome the evil one.” Taking up the charac- teristics of youth, Dr. Poteat first mentioned youth as the overcoming period, saying: It is marked in the firgt place by openness to new ideas, it is quite possible to expand a conception in am adult mind, but it is difficult to impart a new concep- tfon to It. We begin to be old fo- gies at 25 years of age and learn comparatively nothing afterwards Youth is marked in the second place by its abounding energy which ex- pressess itself in impetuosity and excesses of all sorts. . The crimes of youth are marked by a bravado and excess of horror of which old men are not capable. Again, the spirit of adventure _ig.a ruling characteristic of youth.” According- young man used as an ex- by Dr. Robertson and he first of Mark's home and his op- |portumity to accompany the most prominent Christians in the mis- sionary enterprise. The young man’s faihure came next inthe dis cussiom. Mark didm’t stick to his job. ‘He went back to his home in J m from Perga, when the migsionary jourmey was but well be- ‘gum. In the fourth place was Mark’s penalty—the loss of oppor- tumity—and lastly was his recovery. Even Paul, who had rejected the proposition of Barnabas to take Mark on the second missionary jour- ney, admitted in his own second im- prigonment that Mark was useful to him for ministry. Dr. Robertson’s superiority as a lecturer on Bibli- cal topics consists largely in his unugual gift of translating the Bible inte.the. terms of the life of today. He illuminates the most serious dis- cussione with the brightness of a genial humor. Mr. L. P: Leavell,ofOxford, Miss., the B. Y. P. U. secretary of the South, spoke on B. Y. P.

The other speake: of the evening session was br. Riy, who spoke on“‘The Gospel in South America.” Accompa- nied by his wife Dr. Ray traveled through SouthAmerica,Italy, France and other countries last summer, and his address was on his observa- tions In South America. Telling of Ray declared that although many think otherwise, he «is convinced that it is just as easy to convert the Catholice of Latin America as it is to win the Chinese. The mis- sion work is progressing there bet- ter than iu China; there are fewer workers but more conversions. That the gospel does succeed in these Catholic countries was shown and Dr. Ray says that if as many mis sionaries were there as there are fn China fouth America would be Christiahized in this generation. These comparisons are not againet China, however, but are only to show what can be done in Latin America. “How shall they hear with- out a preacher,’’ accompanied the final plea of the speaker for more workers. _Following Dr. Ray’s address a re- ception was given in the Sunday school department by the local Union in honor of the delegates and visitors. As the audience pass- ed from the main auditorium each lady was given a card bearing the name of seme gentieman and each gentleman received a lady's card. When all were in the Sunday school rooms the “search for your name’”’ began and in this manner the dele- gates and visitors intermingled with the Statesville folks and all Were soou well acquainted. During the evening the Sunday school or- chestra played a number of selec- tions, the Baraca quartette sang and Misses Mamye Wilson and Nel- lie Fowler played a plano duet. The affair was purely informal and was highly enjoyable. Ile¢, m and cakes were served. The guccess of the event is due to the untiring ef- forts cf the B. Y. P. U. social com- mittee, Mre. J. B.

Mr. Hunter, of Asheville, occupied the chair during the election. A resolution was passed asking the State Baptist Con- vention to take in charge the B. Y. P. U. work, and. Rev. Messrs Maddry and Middletoh raised a-fund of several hundred dollars for the expense of carrying on the B. Y. P. U. work in the State during the ensuing year. Following the business session Mr. E. L. Middleton,Sunday school secretary of the Baptist State Con- vention and a very enthusiastic worker, delivered a splendid address on “The Need of Traintng for Church Membership,” which was followed by another lecture by Mr. Leavell. “The Blessing of an Ideal’ was the subject of a fine address by Rev. W. Roy Davis, of Advance, which concluded the morning s8es- sion. Mr. Davis took Christ as the ideal and used many Bible charac- ters to illustrate his points. a Yesterday afternoon Prof. High- smith very ably discussed ‘Young People’s Societies,’ telling of the requirements necessary to an ideal society, eto:, and Mr. Leavell gave further instruction in the B. Y. P. U. work, The convention greatly regretted that Dr. B. D. Gray, secretary of the Home Mission Board, could not be here to deliver his address Wed- nesday night.

M. Vines, of Asheville, on the B. Y. P. U. motto, “Loyalty to Christ.” Dr. Vines discussed the motto under four sub-heads: Loyalty to Christ’s char- acter, loyalty to His creed, loyalty to His church and loyalty to His cru- gade. The address was a literary gem, presented in pleasing oratory. The close attention of the large audience, which taxed the cape? ‘ily of the church, was held from begin- ning to end, Just preceding Dr. Vines Mr. Leavell made his final address. oY When Dr. Vines concluded the usual resolutions of thanks, prepar- ed by the resolution committee weré adopted. In making the motion for the adoption. of the resolutions, Dr. W. R. Oullom made a brief fare- well talkin whichhe complimented the Statesville Baptists and his flattering remarks were seconded by Prof. Highsmith.

Answers Some of the Ob, to the Bond Bill—The Matter of Debt. ; Correspondence of The Landmark,..—_| There are a few tiiings that the farmers keep asking about in regard to the bond issue and the proposed tmprovement of our public roads. ~ The first is this: Have the county, commissioners the authority to ia- crease the tax levy under the pro- posed new law? Anewer, yes. Un- der the bond bill, the commissioners * ° 1-3 cents on the $100 to 26 cents on the $100. Under the present law they have the authority to in~ crease the levy to any amount they gee fit. At the next meeting they can. increase the levy to 50, 75, or 100 cents on the $100. If the bond issue is voted down the tax levy may be increased so as to get more road work done. Ifthe taxpayers of the county want the tax levy limited go that the commissioners cannot go beyond a certain amount, they will have to vote for the bond bill. Another question is this: . Wilt the commissioners discontinue the minor. public roads of the county? No. The power of the commission- ers remains unchanged fn this re- apect. They have the power to discontinue or order new roads now, and the new law will not alter this power, but all roads will, under the new law, be worked by taxation. Does the new law levy a road tax on lie? Yes. Under the new law abl persons subject to poll tax will pay a tax of 75 cents, while under thé present law each person of road age is required, if sum- moned, to work six days, which is equivalent to $6. Is it more desir- able to pay six dollars ' than—75 cents? A citizen who pays little or no property tax will pay under the new law only 75 cents, and if he feels unable to pay it he can £g0 and work a day and get, say, a dol lar for his day’s work, credit liis tax of 75 cents, and have 25 cents to pay for his dinner. Then they say there are too many loopholes. Just where these are, it is hard to see. The law is. plain as the English language cap be. The proposition is as plain as can te, it seems to me, and, when put into effect, spelis good roads and progress while the present meth- od spells mud, at the same price.

Mr. Smith and Rev. J. N. Binkley Have a Joint, Disctission at Holly ~ ) Springs, Which is Reported By a Vartisan of Binkley. respondence of The Landmark. A 1oint discussion took place at Holly spring school house Thursday night, 13th, between Mr. J. Maniius Smith, of Rocky Spring community, and Rev. J. N, Binkley, of Net *9m- munity. Mr..$uith spoke in favor ofthe bond issue. He tried to Prove to the people that it would be progressive for the county 19 igsue $400,000 of . bonds and pay $20,000 interest on.them each year. He seemed to be very much enthused about the bond issue, but he did mot convince the voters that to be ih debt is progressive. One thing that the voters desired to know of .Mr. Smith was whether Bagle Mills township would get an equal share Of the good roads? And they wish- @d ilso to know how we can make Payments on the coupons, create a sinking fund and continue to support the chain gang with the road tax that is to be levied under the road bond pill, if ittakes 23, 1-3 cents on ‘the $100 of property and 79 cents on Our poll [No tax on poll under present law.—The Landmark] to g@upport the chain gang as ft has Deen supported? He could not give them any assurance that Eagle Mills township would have any of the good roads, neither did he ex- plain how we could make payments on the coupons, create a sinking fund and continue to support the chain gang. We find in the road bond bill that the roads are to radiate from the centers of population and we fear that all the money will be ex- pended before Kaghe Mills township Leets any of the good roads, and we iKnow if it is, unless another tax is levied we will be the losers. A great many of the voters of Bazgie Mille township are not going tH vote for the bonds unless they have the assurance that they are going to be benefited. After Mr Smith finished his first talk on the bond issue he was followed by Rev. J. N. Binkley, a polished and fluent g@peaker, who expressed himself very @hergetically on the negative side of the question and demolished Mr. Smith’s points. Mr. Binkley says that he is in favor of road improve- Ments but opposes bond issues. He Says that he has traveled from the Atlantic seaboard to the Alleghany Mountaing and, being a close ob- server of roads, he finds that the counties that are the most progres- @ive and have the best roads are those that work their roads by taxa-| tion, but not by bond issue. { When Mr. Smith and Mr. Bink- | ley finished their first round there Were two present who desired to peak for the affirmative side. They Were granted the privilege to do 80, but as they did not establish any Points there could be no reply on | the negative side. rying the debt. Our largest debt- carrying communities are the cent by the phenomenal growth of som of our cities. The bonded debt of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and some of our other citiesis very large and yet money is attracted to the cities in constantly increasing vol- ume, Our own cities and counttes which have the largest public debt are gaining in wealth far more rap- idly than others which have little or no debt. The millions that are pouring into Charlotte, Winston, Durham and Asheville are making the cities and the surrounding coun- try rich. I have seen conditions in these counties and know whereof | speak. That is how we mmy grow rich by taxation. It is the histor) of civilization.

Sta’ N.C ~ ‘ ~~ OFFICE 120 HBOS cs ‘y 4 FRIDAY, — — April 81, 1911. —_—_—— In the House of Congress Wed- nesday Representative Gudger,-of th tenth district, replied to Mr. Kitch- in’s criticism of the members of the North Carolina delegation who op- pose reciprocity. Mr. Gudger is op- posed to the bill because it is from Republican sources; because it dis- ecriminates against the farmer and is not a Democratic measure. Se j “If the newspapers do not want a two-years’ campaign for the senator- ship they should not be trying to draw prospective candidates into it,” remarks the Durham, Herald. The newspapers can stop the sena- torial agitation effectually by re- Tusing to print anything about it, but so long as they go on discussing it they should not complain. LEE It is reported from Washington that only ten Democrats wil vote against the reciprocity treaty, three of those from North Carolina— Messrs. Doughton, Webb amd Gudg- er. Gudger spoke against the bill Wednesday and Doughton and Webb ‘were expected to speak against it. Mr. Webb should by all means ex- Plain the charge that he has sent out statements against the Dill containing garbled extracts from the Democratic platform of 1892-—rep- fesenting the platform as declaring against reciprocity when it did not. That charge is too serjous to pass. A south Iredell man who is for the road bonds writes The Landmark that objection is made to the bond till “on the ground that it gives the commissioners too much power to go on a man’s land and lay out roads and condemn material for roed building.” This part of the road bill is not new law. It is cop- fei from the present law, passed by the Legislature two years ago. It i6 apparent to every one who will think a moment that this au- thority is necessmry. If any landown- wr could hold up road work by ob- Jecting to a change of location in the road, or by asking an unreasonable Price for material, it is clear that road building would soon be stopped “Wille authority is given to con- s@emn right of way and material, the Wights of the landowner are protect- ed. If he is not satisfied with the @amages awarded by arbitrators. he can appeal to the courts. But vot- dng against the bond issue will mot change this part of the law.

McCall, Lodge and Crum packer school. A Democrat should feel free to vote as his judgment dictates and a majority of his con stituents desire him to do. Letters received from every county in my @istrict lead me to believe that my constituents oppose the measure as offered. “They tell us that reciprocity is a cardinal principle of the Democrat ic party. This may be true, but wham reciprocity has been condemn- ed in our platforms. It is argued by the advocates of this measure that it will not reduce the products of the farm, but will lower the cost of living. Such a thing is impossi- ble. It is a sham, or it will hurt.

It is argued by the advocates of the bond issue that $400,000 will build 150 miles of macadam road in Iredell county . .Now I want to know, How can this be°done when at the lowest calculations it has cost. $5,000 to $8,000 per mile. At an average of $6,500 per mile $400, 000 would build 61 miles and a frac- tion. How is this? Is there more dollars in $100 worth of bonds than in $100 worth of gold certific ? I asked. one of our legislators and he hes not answered me yet, 3. Ifa man owns 100 acres of land and at*the present assessment it is valued at $700, this same tract of land being worth no more to the owner to farm than it was four years a ;|have gaps of five, ten or ; r. buy goods?

The good roads help the towns, for whatever helps. business and up- builds, and whatever helps the coun try,-helps the towns.. What special benefit would it be to, build a mile of good roads here an there through the townships a then fifteen miles between. there and town, where the roade are most uséd? That would be absurd, and yet that is the logical result of the talk of those who constantly harp about the road money being expended around Mooresville and Statesville. These kickers khow this, but the purpose is to create prejudice, to arouse feeling against the town and make believe that the country is being taxed for the benefit of the town. We are not saying this because of anything “Taxpayer’’ has said, but embrace this opportunity to answer the numerous thrusts of this character. But we again as- sert that the purpose is to use this bond money on the heading roads through the county and not to macad- amizg every road leading out from Mooreaville and Statesville until all the money is expended, as some pre tend to believe. ago, and if under the new ment it is valued at $1,400, will the owner pay more tax or not?

If the land aspessed at $700 hag not increased in value the assess ment witl not of course. be increas, ed. The law requires—and has re quired all these years—that hand be assessed at its cash value—not what the owner says it is worth to him but what it will bring on the open market. This has not been done, however, for the average as- sesament in Iredell is not exceeding 33 1-3 per cent. “Taxpayer” is doubtless aware that his land is not asssesed at more than one-third of what it would bring if offered for. sale, if so much. If the assessment is inereased of course the tax will be more, but will it be on account of the bond issue? Will it not be the same if the bond issue is voted down? Would it not be the same if-the bond issue had never been heard of? What reason is there to think that the assessment will be doubled? Is it because the land is notoriously undervalued? What counection, anyhow, las the assess. ment with the bond issue? The Land- toark wants to turn queationer long enough to ask ‘““Taxpayer,’or some- bedy, to stand up and explain this point. Do they mean to charge that there is an understanding that as- sessments are to be mised on act count of the bond issue and for that purpose sete That the assessors are in league for this purpose? If that is the idea, say 90. The con- tention of the bond advocates is that the bonds mean practically no in- crease in levy: That whatever— in- crease there is In assessments is a natural increase and not because increase from year to year as prop- erty increases in amount and value, 4. The Landmark did not mean to say that each township would be given its proportional<part. That would not be fair, for some of the wealthier townships would get more than they shotld have and some of the weaker townships less. But the idea is, in a few words, to take the main leading roads and-~ construct them through the county. The bill specifically says the roads shall be built “860 as to serve every town- ship in the county.” : “Baxpayer”’ hasn’t specifically men- tioded it, but The Landmark is amind to say a word anent the con- tinued thmusts of the bond oppo- nents about roads being built for ville. Whether they intend it or not, their language indicates that the roada# are built out from Moores villé and Statesville as pleasure drives for the town folks. Not ten per cent. of the town people have conveyances of thelr own of any sort. A very small per cent. use the roads for pleasure. The great Majority do not use them at all. And: while they pay roat’ tax, not one dollar of the road tax is ex- pended inaide of the towns, The town people must lay an additional tax on themselves for any improve- ments made on their streets.

The fool took the medicine home, took one dose, put it on a shelf and made no further effort to follow in- é@tructions. Three months later, with the med- icime still on the shelf, he told a friend that the apecialist was a fake; that he had paid him $50 and @till d catarrh. HYOMEI (pronounce it High- ome) won't cure catarrhif you don’t breathe it; it will if you breathe it regularly. Furthermore, you don't need to give a catarrh specialist $50 to cure you of catarrh, for the specialist is yet to be born who can write a better prescription than HYOMETI. The Statesville Drug Co. and druggists everywhere guarantee HY- OMEI to cure catarrh or money back. A complete outfit, which consiste of a bottle of HYOMEI, a hard rub ber inhaler and simple instructions for use, costs only $1.00. Separate bottles of HYOMEI, if afterwards are the, roads built out from town? needed, cost but 50 cents. i } 4 { i Ha ? .

Mr. Burke; Dear Sir—~I am con- sidered a tack number among the rich, which I suppose you are, ac- cording to the way you write. I am a poor man, uneducated. But T have a nice home and I eat my own hog and hominy. I haven’t Been over 16 States. If I had I might have an automobile, or I might be etill walking over the bad roads, You ask me did I ever sit in. a rubber-+tire buggy? I have driven my own fast horse and it was peid for. .I am able to buy an automo- bile and pay the spot cash for ‘it if I wanted one, but I don’t think a@ poor man-like myself looks right in an automobile without a standing colar and a 50-cent cigar in . his mouth, like a mule’s tail) I think Mr, Burke is able to ride and smoke that way, but I am not. if he is not, he had better come back to Iredell and be a back number with me and vote as he pleases That’s the way the back numbers vote. You ask me to come to Greens- boro and take a ride) with you in I was to come I couldn’t find you, for you would be ashamed for an old back number to ride with you. But. will say you can’t get my vote for 4 ride in your golden chariot. I have been told to judge a tree by ite fruit. I don’t know Mr. Burke, but Hake the way he writes he hat money to bum and don’t care for hie taxes. I think my tax is high enough on my farm and other property, such as my old steel tire buggy thet you can hear rat- tling before you can see me. So I will say to Mr. Burke, I haven't traveled very much and I can’t vote for the bond isswe. If he wants stak |good roads for his automobile, he had better get out and begin to ride them around and vote them for the ride, for I can’t. | Mr. Burke, dear sir, did you ever ride on a sled or wagon? Did you jever push a wheelbarrow and. did jyou ever plow or grub? Did you ever lay a fence worm and make If 90, you can tell me some- thing about the old back farmer. If not, go on your way pleading for high taxes. Mr. Burke, do you smoke? If so, come over and I will tabe you to ride on my sled oF wagon and give you hog and hom#é- ny. Then you will say, Mayhew is about. half right, but I don’t want him to know I said sp. Yours truly, H. T. MAYHEW. Mooresville, R. F. D. No. 2.

Harrison, of Mooresville, “els of Conditions on the Mexi- can Charlotte News, 18th. ~ “jf very interesting visitor in the city thie morning was Mr. J.W. Har- rison, of Mooresville, who has left the Mexican frontier and who was @n route to Mooresville to visit rel- atives. Mr. Harrison has speut two years at El Paso, Texas, and was previous to thet in the regular army serv- fee, having spent most of three years in Cuba. He is conversant with Spanish-American life to an unusual degree and talked very interestingly of the present distunb- ance in Mexico. “ He witnessed the recent battle be- tween the Mexican troops and the ineurrectos at Juarez, just across the Rio Grande river from El Paso: The town of Juarez, he says, has 80: in the neighborhood of 12,000 inhabitants and is situated on a bluff on the opposite side of the river from El Paso, Texas, thus allowing the people of Bl Paso an}, almoet unobstructed view of the battle. The talk of war and the present uprieing, he says, is the sole top- ic of conversation along the, border. Many Amemicans are engaged with the insurrecto forces and the sym- pathy of the majority of Amreicans ig with them. There is constant crossing of Americans to the Mex- ican side and Mexicans to the Amer- ican side, although Uncle Sam_ is making vigilant effort to preserve neutrality and prevent Americans from aiding either one of the bel- ligerents. This, however, is almost impossible, from the fact that sev- ere} towns of considerable size are very closely associated in business towns on the opposite side. For ex- ample, El Paso and Juarez are con- nected by trolley and are ‘virtually almost one town. : The surveillance of the American authorities is increasing, Mr. Har- rison says, in the effort to prevent shipment of arms pr other munitiors across the river into Mexican terri- tory and is becoming more strict since the battle line has come 580 close to the border. Whereas, when the American tnoops firat mobilized at the front they were at liberty to cross the river while off duty, that right is now prohibited them and au American soldier is never seen on Mexican soil, unless he slips across in civilian clothes. | The Mexicans themselves are not very friendly to the Americans and “a large number have gone acrosa the border, on getting pictures‘ with . the camera; -have been imprisoned. This feeling js ex- plained by the fact that most of the Americans whe vetture over the border are mere soldiers of fortune and are not deeply concerned about the principles at stake im the revo- lution. . Most of the inaurrectos, Mr. Har~|, ris states, are from the Mexican middle class, most of the wealthy ranchmen, mine owners and other capitalists remaining faithful to the Diaz government. The leaders of the insurrectos, how , the three Madero brothers, a few oth- er leaders, are an exception to this rule. The Madero brothers are understood tobe vastly wealthy and havé large holdings in American as well as Mexican mining stocks. The father of the Madero brothers ives in Bb Paso and has striven to per suade his war-Mke sons to consider peace proposals, but without avail. EES Judge Rogers Found Dead in Bed— Had Relatives in Statesville. Little Rock, Ark., Dispatch, 17th. Federal Judge John H. Rogers, of the western district of Arkansas, was found dead in his bed at a ho- tel here today by Judges Trieber and K. M. Rose, of Fort Smith, who called to ascertain the reason for his absence from the bench. His home was in Fort Smith, Ark. Judge Rogers had been indis- posed for a week, suffering from an attack of incipient pneumonia. A hemorrhage of the lungs is believed to have been the immediate cause of hia death. ! He was 2ppoiuted to the Fedvral bench by President Cleveland in 1896. He was born in North Cai- Olina. He was captain of a Missis- sippi company to the Confederate army during the civil war. {Judge Rogers was born in Mis- sissippi but his parents were from North Carolina.

Clodtelter, one of Our neighbors, was shocked Wednesday morning to see offi ride into his yard in pursuit of his shepherd dog. This dog is alwaye making some new friend and moves from home. to for that reason Mr. Clodf, does not hold himself responel for the dog’s whereabouts, Wednesday morning Mra: Rumpile; of the Boulevard, woke to find her chickens all missfhg from her poul- try yard and this yellow shepherd dog in the lot. Officers were sum- moned and at once they concluded that the dog belonged to the thief. A string was tied. to the dog’s neck and otherwise he was marked 80 there could be no mistake. Sheriff Ward mounted his horse and gave chase. For four miles this dog ran while people stood at doors and windows and gazed in wonderment at the officer as he, like John Gil- pin of old, .raced through rain and mud as if on a life and death er- rand. The dog was evidently like some people, he thought of his true friend when he got into trouble, although be had apparently forgotten him. Doubtless Mr. Clodfelter. will bring a damege suit against some one The dog is supposed to have fob howed his latest friend into the poul- try yardand there forgot who it was when turned out. Mr. T.

Friday, April 28, 1911. é APRIL 28th, 1911, at 1.30 o'clock, we will sell at auction a large number of building lots, on the premises, on the mac- adam street or road known as the Wilkesboro road, adjoining the land of J. A. Hartness, clerk of court, and others, known as the Lilly property. We will also sell two lots on Park street adjoining T. J. Conger and Mr. Bradley. Both picces of the above property is well situated, on as good street as you have in your city. J. A. Hartness, has Your Clerk of Court, a beautiful house edjoining on one side, and a large graded or high school house immediately in front, and other large and beautiful homes beyond. It being on the macadam street and surrounded by your | '- best citizens and a high school makes it very desirable for homes and for investment. This street can’t be beat in our town, as all building is going that way. The lots on ark street are also good property. Come out to the sale and buya.lot The terms will be easy soany one can buy. You will give away nice presents and it will pay you to be on hand whether you buy or not. ‘ MUSIC BY A FIRST CLASS BAND. will make the price We J.B. GILL’S, | particular territory.

York-Dispateh, 20th, to Char lotte Observer. “Maree Jim’’ Osborne today kept his promise to “Old Pete’ Os- borne, a centenarian, to defend “Pete's” boy Edward,on trial for his life charged with murder. “Old Pete” Osborme is a negro and was a slave for young ‘“‘Marse Jim’s’’ fa- ther on a plantation near Charlotte, N.C. , Fortty-one years ago “Old Pete,” staying with his old mester through the turmoil of reconstruction, jump- ed into a stream and saved 11-year- old “Marse Jim” from drowning, and after a span of years ‘‘Marse Jim,” grown to be a prominent New York lawyer-and former assistant district attorney of New York, took up the task of trying to save his reacuer’s son. Mr. Osborne recounted some of this story before Judge Crain in court today, when he appeared to defend Hadward Osborne, om tria) for the-murder of Louis Spiceranother negro. Beside the lawyer sat “Old Pete,” white-haired and venerable, Hstening with perfect confidence . to the white lawyer, who feelingly told of the debt he owed the old man. “Old Pete” had 17 children. ie ‘the baby. He ia 29 years old now... Some years ago the old man came North with him.

Congress isin no temper to meddle in the internal affairs of Mexico and im the Senate a majority on both sides of the. chamber wilt en- deavor to prevent open diacussion of the travail through which the Mexi¢an republic is passing. “This was made clear today* following a speech om the Mexican situation by Senator Stone, of MissouMi, who. ad- vocated the empowering of. the Pres ident to use the army and navy in any way he might see fit to protect American ‘lives and property on the border and odasts. The Stone reso- bution was referred to the foreign relations committee, where, judging from teday’s events, it will not soon be acted upon. Senators Cullom, Bacon, Root and Lodge, ali membera of this commit- tee,immediately joined in deploring the public discussion of a sister re- public’s troubles.

Of ‘this total the disposition of probably 300 has been made ~-by the court during the term, leaving 700 for censideration.

New Trial in An Interesting Dam- age Suit Case, The decision im the cage of Gregg ve. city of Wilmington and Woolvin, handed down by the Supreme Court last week, is quite interesting. It was written by Justice Walker..The city of Wilmington permitted Wooil- vin, in demolishing an old “building and erecting a new one, to pile bricks on the sidewalk and fn -the street. Mr. G was standing near the brick pile and a street car in passing jarred the pile of - bricks, which fell on Mr. Gregg, killing him. The jury found that the city was guilty of negligence, but that Woolvin was not negligent, and gave a verdict for $7,000 against the city: Judge Walker states that i was error for the trial judge to set aside the answer of negligence as to Wool vin and give judgment against the city. “If Woolvin is not neg- ligent, then the city is free from blame, for it 1s ah alleged, - is it suggested, t ntestate wou have nen k'lled or injured in any way if the bricks had been prop- erly stacked and secured.” in order to charge the city with negli-. that. the. Dricks.. were- 0 piled b; . Woolvin, . but city, with actual constructive knowl; edge of cthtir dahgerous condition, Permitted them to remain so. The negligence. if there was any, was primary with Woolvin, and secon- dary with the city, If the bricke were properly stacked by Woolvin and theré was no negligence by Woolvin, the permission by the city for the bricks to be stacked in the - street wae not negligence. If there was meglignce by both par- ties a judgment may be recovered against the city, which‘in turn may’ gue Woolvin and recover for his primary negligence. Both Lepvimistic and . ‘utes.

The old law that specified quarantine was re- peated in the enactment of the new daw, which it is found merely says ‘patients may de quarantined .and @pecifies compulsory » vaccination Indeed the charge is ng made ‘that the promotere’of the revised ‘Gaw purposely shifted the base froni «compulsory quarantine to vaccima- tion and that now there ie nothing to prevent a person with x woing about the streets or country *woads as they please so long a# they mre able to travel. It is learned: that the Attorney General is to be aaked for a ruling in the’ matter. The many people who believe that quarantine and not vaccination is +» the right protection against the dreaded disease are much stirred up @ver the matter. was no secret about the of this law and nothing mew in ite discovery. Nearly a year @go, at_the meeting of the State Medica) Society, Dr. Rankin, the sec retary of the State Board of Health, ‘@Avocated the abolition of the quar amine as to smallpox. His argument was that the quarantine is expen- wive and often inefficient; that vac- «ination is the only preventive, aud - be put up to the people Xo yaccinate or take chances with the emalipox. In other words, he ™ma that i was not the duty of the health officere to save the people from something when they would @asily save themselves.

Washington Dispatch, 21st. President Taft’s Canadian reci- procity agreement, supported by all but a handful of Democrats and op- posed wv a majority of the Repub- licans, passed the House,of Repre- sentatives early this evening by @ vote of 265 to 89. With nearly 200 Democrats in control and their action endorsed by a large body of the Re- publicans, the bili to put the agree- ment in force was adopted with no amendments, @nd in. almost. identi- cally. the- form in which “it passed the House ip the last session of the preceding Congress. ~ The dill seeks to put into effect the formal agreement reached be- tween President’ Taft and members ot the Canadian! cabinet, for a“re- duction”, of ‘tariff rates on many articles ‘4nd’ free trade in Many others, across the Canadian ~ bor- der. Added. toit by the Democratic leaders is a section which “author izes and requests” President Taft to make further efforts: to. secure abill freer trade relations with Can- ada in the form of addjtiona) recip- rocal relations, The passage ‘ of the bill marked the close of a fight that hed raged in the House ‘for six daye. Amendments ‘were. admit- ted in the House today for almost every section of the bill, and in each case they were rejected by n overwhelming vote given by the ends of the measure on. both sides of the House on the theory that ahy amendment would nullify it. “ Ten Democrats voted against’ the tilt on its passage; while 197 Demo- enats voted for it. As in the case when the bill passed at the preced- ing session of Congress, a majority of the Republicans were found against it, the party vote being 67 ‘for and 78 opposed. 3 [The ten Democrats voting agains the bill were Bathrick, Chaypool and Whitacre, new members from Ohio; Doughton, Gndger and Webb; of North Carolina; Fowler, of I/ti- nols; Pujo, of Louisiana; Het- mond, of Minnesota, and Rucker, of Colorado. ] Dr. DuBose’s Body Found Sunday —Floated Ninth Day. Morganton Special, 23d, to Char- lotte Observer. The body of Dr. Neely DuBose, late rector of Grace Bpiscopal church of Morganton, who was drowned in the Catawba river, near here, early on the morning of Satur- day, April 15, was found this af- ternoou at about 5.30 o'clock, within 50 feet of where it went down. The water where the body was found today was ten feet deep and the niver has fallen four or five feet at least since the drowning. Search- ers had been all over this part of the river time and time again this week, using long poles and gigs in their efforta to locate the body, but somehow their efforts were in vain, of the water.

Carolina that has:voted bonds to build, good roads — would not be,without them for double their cost. Good roads, wherever they are built, greatly in- crease the value of real estate and add in every way * . to the material wealth and prosperity of any section. in which they: are constructed. Some time ago the county of Forsyth, after a great struggle. voted 2 bond issne of $259, 000 for good road construction, bat the people of that county, after seeing what good roads ‘would do for them, 4 and are cousidering an additional bond issue of $750, - 000. Just think of it, Forsyth county may -have $1,0°0,000 in bonds to build good roads, and it’s the best investment they ever made besides. You know these roads are not built just for one genera- tion—but for all time. oN During the last five years we have built in Iredell] " county about 30 miles of good roads at an’ average cost of about $3,000 per mile. Under the proposed bor d isene we can build in the next four or five years 150 miles or more of good roads at a consider- ably lower cost than the roads that have already been constracted. Competent road engineers will go over entire connty and decide upon the best road to ‘build for different sections Iu some places macadam, in oth- ere sand and-clay, and in other sections whatever character of road is best adapted to the particular conditions. We are in a position now to build roads more intelligently and more economically than ever before. We want good roade—and we want them now. There is but one way toget them quick and that is _ by voting for the Good Roads Bond Iesue. It’s a clean-cat, simple, business proposition that WILL NOT MAKE US PAY ONE. CENT MORE TAXES than we would pay if y messure had never been : ;and the advantage is, it gives us the It’s ap to you—our good Farmer‘ Friead+ of Ire dell county—to say whether we shall or shall not : have good roads.

E\ Paso, Texas, Dispatch, 23d. An armistice of five daye, begin- ning at noon today, and affecting district, hetweem Juarez and Chihuahua and west of the lat- ler city, waa made effective today in an exchange of identical letters #igned by Gen. Francisco I. Madero, for the rebels, and Gen. Juan Navar- ro, for the government. The truce provides that there @ball be no Movement of troops of either side during the next five days and that provisions and Medicines may be brought to either 4 ‘jcamp from the American side with- out payment of duty. It ie noted that Ojinaga, where a small Federal force is besieged, is not covered in the armistice, the insurrecto ac- tivities in that district being largely independent. It ids expected that in the event of the settlement of the rebellion in Chihuahua, the situation jat Ojinaga and other scattered places throughout the republic will teceive attention. The moral ef- fect of the cessation of hostilities iu Chibtiahua ie regarded as to make settlements in other parts of the country simple. Actual peace negotiations pre- ceded the armistice.

Vudor RE-ENFORCED HAMMOCKS THE KIND THAT Last Sole Agents for lredell county. ‘TUESDAY ——— Aprib ci ee ae ui Mr. Weisner Tells Why He te For Good Roads and on bane To the Editor of The Landmark: I see tha y veopia. | or. to The Landes kee ee roads. I feel rane penn good réads, and | am doing son. thing I possibly can to influence m people in’ New Hope to vote for the bonds, As I understand the it in the shaaneet way oud ae Gabe way we can possibly build good roads in IredeM county. If we fail to get a majority in favor of the bonds. we people in north Iredell wilh be forever shut off from having gocr roads. My township (New Hope) being in the extreme part of north Tredell,, 22~milles from the upper edge to Statesville and to a rail- road, I don't see how any one in our township could afford to ‘vote against this proposition; and those who live near the towne of States ville and Mooresville, who now haye the advafitage of macadam roads, ’| should feel interested in thé build- ing of good roads all over the coun- ty,to build up our county, With good roads, I believe we will have the best county in the State. I am in favor of good roads all over the county. First, because I am a citizen of Iredell and [| feel interested in progress and prosper- ity; second,because the people of the rural districts and the towns should be in closer touch and sympathy with each other and work for the common good, as each class is de- pendent. upon the other; third; be- cause a farmer or merchant can pull over good roads three times the amount he can pull through mad without injuring his team; fourth, because under the present system of building roads, our great grand- children will hardly see good roads from one end of the county to. the other, and we are paying practically the eame road tax as we will have to pay if we vote for the bonds, and get the roads built at once; fifth, because, if necesemary, I would be willing to pay more tax rather than not to have good roads. But the law protcts ug all from an increase, and the bond bili gives prs good roads besides. On the 9th day of May my township will give a nice majority in favor of the bond bill and good roads. B. E. WEIGNER. Olin, R. F. D. . (Mr.Weisner has the correct idea. The people of the rural districts and the towns, as he truly ays, should be in close touch and aympa- thy because they are mutually de- pendent. The townspeople need the rural communities and the’ rural folks need the townspeople. There is nothing narrow about Mr. Weis ner. He sees the situation in its true Hght and is acting accordingly. ~The Landmark.] ae IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS FOUND (They Bear on the Boundary Diss} — a North ‘Carolina | saat teats Democrat.

The document was impor- tant enough to induce the Supreme Court of the United States to reopen the case, which it is said had been practically decided against North Carolina. The field notes just found bear out this State’s. conten- tions. During the last week a bunch of the ablest lawyers in geveral States have been in thig section, taking depositions tending to identify the handwriting of Surveyor Davenport.

Eee eee THE OLD ‘MORRISON MILL, The First Mill Built West of Statée villp by William Morrison, Whol Claimed to Be the First White Settler Cérrespondence of The Landmark, The first mill that was built weet of Statesville, and some claim’ west of Salisbury (this claim is very doubtful) was built by a. Seotch- Irishman by the name of William Morrison, He claimed while Mving to be the first white settler in hig vie cinity. This mill was on Third orgek; one mile south of Lonay, and was last known as the Hart mill. This mili was running when the settlers of Irede}} county were gathered in Fort Dobbs for protection. The French and Indians burned. every dwelling and out house in that set- tlement but did not molest the mill William Morrison was a Presbyte- rian, Rumple, in hig history . of Rowan county, says that a man by the name of Thompson hada place of meeting near Morrison’s mil} to preaclf and baptise children, as early as 1755 or 1760. It is to be presum- ed that this was the beginning of Con eord church, which was not 07 until 1775. Wm. Pharr, D. D., im f me that the above mentioned Mr. Thompeon held meetings in Center church settlement before Cém ter church was organized. - ¥ William Morrison gave the plot of ground for the Morrison ceme- tery,which ie one mile southwest of Loray and was the burying place for Concord congregation until the ceme- tery at Concord church was laid off. It is said by some of the old peo ple that Concord church was to have been built at the Morrison cemetery but that a friction sprang up about it between Samuel Harris and Morri gon’s children, which prevented it. Samuel Harris married Rebecca Mor Tison (first wife), daughter of this Wm. Morrison, and was one of the first elders at Concord. Whether there was a feeling of distrust be- | tween these parties and that caus | ed Concord church to be builtat | Loray is the better location. Wil liam Morrison died in 1770 and i#* His wife was buried later, They bave tombetones and ‘on his tomb- that these graves should never be opened, Prof. Rockwell gave it as his opinion that Morrison,being rels- ed in the old country,where it was customary to use the same grave for other burials after a lapse of a certain number of years, was the cause of this —— As far as I am Ynformed fone of the descendants of William Morrigon bearing the name of Morrison are now living inIredell county. Luther Morrison moved to Illinois in 1849. Stanhope and Louisa and. Calvin moved to Arkansag tn 1854: were all Mneal descendants of first white settler. Oné family ~ Whites (lineal descendents by.t mother) live in Iredell now. 8. W. STEVENSON. Mooresville, N. C. .

Now is the time the farmers of the State are preparing for the har- vest time, which means the money they shal] realize and upon which their living depends. But what shall it be? To no inconsiderable meas- ure it depends upon what kind of seeds are sown. Often absolute fail ares are caused by planting poor seed that will not grow or, still worse, seed that is badly adulterat- tirely ruin the land for certain ag- ricul.ural purpcesos,often upon which That there is a great difference in the farm seeds sold in the State is forcibly shown by the difference in the results of the analyses made at the Seed Testing Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture, co- operating with the United States Department. For example, the re per cent. germination. Some contain- ed no weed seeds at all, white oth ers contained more than 90,000 (o the pound. Some samples contained more than -50 per eent.. of dodder or love vine, which is the worst of all pests that occur in clovers and alfalfa. This great difference in the quality of seed is not only true in case of red clover but of all the farm seeds. Not only the“loss of money paid for the seeds, which is really 4 small item, but the failure to lain crops can be prevented by know- ing the value of the seed which is planted. The Department will make tests of all agricultural and vegeta- ble seeds for any farmer in the State free of charge and reports wilh be sent to him promptly. In case the seed does not come up to the standard of good seed the lot may be returned to the dealer froi whom it was purchased’ and the money refunded or a good quality of seed given in exchange, whichev- er the purchaser desires.

He goes home to bok pardon filed by Thomas Edgar Strip- after some urgent business matters ling, former police chief of Danville, Va., under sentence of life impris- omment for the murder of William J. Cornett, in a review of the case made public tonight, Governor Brown excoriates the “unwritten law,” which Stripling, pléad in justi- of his act, as a euphemism, ting, when unmasked, “the hideous feature of anarchy.” “One ef the most dangerous evils menacing our institutions is law- lesenesa,""declares theGovernor. ‘““The mob executing in wild disorder its yictim.and the individual wreaking his own revenge for wrongs real or imaginary, the man or interest treat ing with contempt the laws of the land and trusting to gold or ‘influ- ence’ for safety, are striking mani- festations of this spirit of lawless ness.”’ While expressing profound sympa- thy for Stripling’s family and high Tespect for the impulses which prompted his friends to apply for @ pardon for him, Governor Brown says that sympathy and personal firiend#hip have no right to supplant an oath-bound duty to execute the laws of Georgia. “Albove the rolling tide and ob- securing fog of eympathetic pleas and. emotions we cannot fail-to -see the rock of the record that Thomas Edgar Stripling, by a jury of his jand expects to return to the capi- |tal the latter part of the week. He is inckined to the opinion that Con- gress will be in session all mum- mer. He expressed the view that the Senate will pass the President’s reciprocity bill, with probably a few amendments to the one passed by the House. However, he looks for the subject to be debated two weeks or more before a vote is taken. The farmers’ free list bill will come up in the House this week for debate. The eighth district Repre- sentative does not think there will be any trouble about it getting pass that body, but it ie a question about it being passed by the Senate. Mr. Doughton expressed the opin- fom also that the woolen schedule would be taken up at this special session and that a reduction of the tariff on this would find no trouble in getting through the House. It is believed, too, that President Taft would sign the bill, though he is known to be in favor of leaving | h all taxiff legislation’ over to the reg- ular session in December after his pet reciprocity bill is passed, Overman and Simmons Keep Find Committee Assignments, Washi Dispatch, ved: to Raleigh News and Observer.

The redwoction of the mileage would not only be honest ——for the collection of the excess mileage is an indirect. increase of @alary, a species of graft—but it would have been in accordance with Democratic ideas andDemecratic pro- feasiong of eccnomy, some of which have been put into practice. The allowance of ten cents per mile for members ofCongrese and members of the Legislature was made wien twaveling expenses were much high- ‘r than now. If members pay mil- @oaed fare, the actual cost does not @moeced 2 cents the mile. The 8 @ents additional is practically graft, t be plain about it. The law ab Bows the ten cents and so long as the law is unchanged they can col- lect the ten cents and keep within the law. But they well know that ‘the mileage was designed to cover ost of transportation and that the ‘xcess is an indirect increase in aal- ary, which is neither fair nor just. But when a member in the House Monday, suggested a cut to five eents, which would still have been excessive enough, he received no @upport.

ON VARIOUS MATTERS Asheville Gitiken, 25th. A telephone message to the Citi- zen from Breyard last night. etat- ed ‘that’a portion of Caesar's Head had fallen on Thursday night, and thereby explained the supposed earthquake shock felt at Hender- |soaville, Asheville and other. places. According to the message to the Citizen a section of the famous cliff of an enormous size fell away. For a number of: years there has been gradually gnowing wider a fis-. sure across the top of peak. Teu years ago it was only a few inches wide. Last’ eummer it had grown to sudh an extent that tourists were able to go into the fissure for a depth of fifteen feet. Gradually the work of the elements bas been having ite effect. . The rains and the winds. and the frost have combined against -one of the most picturesque features in all of the western Carolina mountains. Starting from a tiny crack where only the water could seep in na- ture has continyed the work until now a large portion of the moun- tain lies at the bottom of the cliff @ shattered rock. Caeear’s Head is in Traneylva- nia county, near the South Carolina Une, about 20 miles from Brevard, For a Jong number of years it has been one of the favorite places for both native and tourists on sight- seeing excursions. The cliff stood out in bold relief with the features of a man’s face plainly discernible, hence the name. The top was al- most tevel, e back several hundred feet, and being about 200 feet wide. Over the face there was a sheer drop of over 500 feet to the depths below. Even the most fearlese would have a case of “nerves” en standing on the edge and looking over. Only the most daring would. take advantage of the offers of the guides to be led down over the face of thecliff for a tew feet. , Abovt 30 feet from th'e edge the fissure appeared which has been graduaHy widening until the tre- mendous -fall came. The beauty of the spot, though greatly marred, will not be eatirely ruined, for there will stil] be an aweinapiring cliff and at the bottom will be the debris of thousands of tons of broken rock.

No, I didu’t look back.” One owner here has lost over 40 lambs this spring, which he attrib. utes to the work of one dog. At any rate, the slaughter stopped when one dog was finally detected and killed. This region is admirably adapted to sheep raising if the hun- dreds of worthless curs could be disposed of. At present there are more dogs than sheep, greatly to the loss of the community. Mitchell Burke and McDowell counties would, annually raise thousands of sheep, greatly to the profit of the farmers, if they could be freed from the dog nuisance.

Guilford county now has 120 miles of macad-| ‘am and gravel roads and our pro- | gressive: farmers have reaped rich | benefits financially because of gur'! good roads. They can now come to |market amy day, rain or shine, and | | haul heavier Ioads than they used | |to and with less burden to their }Stock, less wear and tear to their | |vehicles. The man who lived ten jmiles from town before we © had | good roads now in reality only jlives five miles from the city. In| |other words, it takes him no long- |, ler now to travel the ten mijies on | Maca dam roads than it took him to travel five on the old bad roads; and now. he can come, no matter if | rs has been raining for weeks, and {travel in comfort to himself } with ease to hie stock. Farm lands have increased | greatest prosperity in their histo- | ry. lit is 79 tents today. to keep what roads we have in re- pair and to build more. * * * Good roads are no longer an ex- periment, but they are an assured success from every viewpoint. It is not a question with any county if they can butid the roads, the question is can they afford not to build them. Oonldn’t Sing Long Metre Hymn to Short Metre Tune. Newton News.

New Hope, R-1, Apri} 21—“Come, how, and let us neason together.” This is requested of all who are considering the road proposition Candid reasoning is good for us, as ‘it was when requested of an erring people by the prophet,many centuries ago, No one can reasonably claim that we do not need better roads in IredeH county, and it is such a sertous need that we should get in earnest about helping the good cause along. Now, “North Iredell Gfrl,’’ isn’t it unfair to claim that we of north Iredell will get no benefit from the road bonds, if voted? that we wil! have no roads built out here, when the authorizing bill states plainly that the funds mast be spent with regard to benifiting every part of Iredell county? Your township will get its share of the benefit. and more money will be spent in making roads for your township (whichever it may be) than will be spent im Statesville township for the same purpose within the next five years, unless we make a great mis- take aud defeat the bonds. No doubt you are sincere in your belief, but reagon is with the over4 whelming proof against the position, Surely we cannot believe men in our two towns, and this great number of godd men alt oven the county, who have made a study of the proposition, would be parties to misleading us, Behold many men in Tredetl county today giving their and |time, their labor and some money |to further the cause of good roads) in |and are neither asking nor expecting value because of our good roads /|2ny benefit other than a common and our farmers are enjoying the | benefit with all the pegple of the county.

Although I am non-resident, yet I am interested, it seems to me, just the same as though I were living there. I have read with keen interest everything about the bond issue printed —.in The Landmark, and feel that Iam somewhat posted on the issue, Since I have been on the road I’ tiave traveled so much where they have good roads that I feel like I-know gomething about good roads from that viewpoint. . Since it has been shown so plain that the bonds wili not cost a cent more than the tax already being paid, and when. you observe how slow the present system is building roads, and also that Statesville and Mooresville: townships wilt pay the big end of the tax and get the little end of the expenditure; and when we see how faithfully they are work ing for it,then I must say I do nob see how any one can be against the bonds. Just here I wish to say that having been a north Iredell man, I used to think that south Iredell and Statesvie, too, in a way, used to be agaimet north Iredell, and if they aid mot work against that section they would not do anything for it.

Experts have estimated the collection to be worth more than a million dol- lars, and ‘wealthy amateurs ‘and deal ers fronY.Europé“have come to vie with the American collectors in the bidding. It was .evident from the progress of the sale tonight that American bidders were’ taking the creain of the offerings at price av- eraging higher than any ever offer- ed at a publ¢ book auction. The highest price previously paid for the Guttenburg Bible was $20,- 000, at which Bernard Quaritch pur- chased it in. England fourteen years ago. Ata private sale he disposed of it shortly afterwards to Mr. Hoe at a profit. of $2,500 and it. has remained in the Hoe collection ev- er since. The copy was printed some- time between 1450 and 1465. Bidding for the treasured book was spirited, with Bernard Quaritch, son of the former owner, participat- ing until the bids pasned the $21,- 000 mark. From there it jumped by thousands at a clip to $46,000. At $43,000 P. A. B.

I have a litthe interest in Iredell in a piece property, and if the bond issue carries I expect to be able to sel} it for at least 10 per cent. more, just as soon as the bonds carry, and before a stone is crushed. One winter when I was merchan- dising at Harmony I had to hire a man to put in his team of two mules and himself with my team to make ten tripe to Statesville for goods. The four mules did not haul over 900 ibs, at any time; that was all they could pulf. I paid the man $2 per trip and boarded him jand his team. Count that up and there was enough to have paid my read tax for at least five years. When the roads were not muddy I pulled 1,500 Ibs. with my team alone aud when the road has been graded I could as easily have carried 2,- 00 tbe. .or more. Who paid this tax? Not I, for certainly I pat the expense on the price, or mainiy so, and the consumer paid #— the taxpayer. The standing price theo for hauling a tag of fertilizer tot that community was 20 cents, but when you bave a road the price will be not over 10 cente, Do} you get, the idea? Once when I was selling dry goods and had to carry eral trunks, I got off at the ibroad station at Summerfield, Guilford county. The town is a mile from the depot. There was no baggage an old darkey heard me inquiring about a way. He stepped up and said, “Boss, if you are u.mind to nide in my one-horse wagon I'll car- ry you and trunks both to town, as 1 am going that way.” I said, certainly. He loaded my 800 lbs. of baggage and nf on top and on we went. As we were going we jeame to a low place and the darkey said, “Boss, if this road had not been ‘cadamized I couldn't have pulled you through this place. It used to be awful.” “But,” says he, ;“I am carrying you for 25 cents and going the way I was going any- way, hot costing me a cent, and this 25 cents will pay my road tax this year.” “‘Boss,”” he says, “I don’t know how anybody can be against good roads.” Nor I, for I got my baggage hauled for 25 cents against a dollar, and the darkey made his tax for one year and not a cent of cost. With teams you can pick up enough in a year te pay your part. I am anxious for the success of the bonds. .J. HENRY “‘THARPE. Elkin, N. C. Encourage Establishment of Farm Life Schools. Washington Dispatch to Raleigh News aud Observer. With the object of encouraging and promoting “farm life schools’ in the various States, Senator Over- man hag introduced in the Senate a bill making available for all such institutions the sum of $25,000 an- nually. The bill provides that the money is ‘to be taken from the sale of public lands.. Each year the gum is to be increased $1,000 for a term. -of ten years, and thereafter the anmuat sum to be paid each State is to remain at the stated sum of $25,000. . It is stipulated im the bill that the appropriation is to be applied only to instruction in agriculture, the EugMsh language and various branches of mathematical, physical, natural and economic science,with special reference to their applica- tion to farm life.

How many readers of The Land- mark know that in Inland Australia where the mightiest of eucalyptus trees grow in abundance, that there is no consumption, catanrh or dis- eases of the respiratory tract. The refreshing balsam thrown out by these trees fills the air and is breathed into thie lungs by the inhabitants and all germ life is de- atroyed, . If you have catarrh you cannot go to Inland Australia except at great expense, but you’can breathe right in your home the same pleas- ant, soothing, healing, germ-killing air as you would breathe if you were living in the eucalyptus dis- trict of Australia. i Just breathe HYOMET; it is made from Australian eucalyptus and scientifically combined with thymol and other antiseptics employed in the Lieterian system. Pour a few drops of HYOMETI in the inhaler and breathe it, and as it passes over the catarrh-infected membrane, it kills the germs and heals the raw, inflamed surface. HYOMEI is guaranteed to cure catarph, coughs, colds, croup and gore throat or money back. Com- plete outfit, dncluding inhaler, $1.00. Extra bottles of HYOMEI cost but 50 cents..

A Native ivedell Mas Man, Now in oming, Urges the Home to Vote For the Road Bonde— What Good Roads Have Dong For the West and What They Would Do For Iredell. ; To tui Kditor of The Landmark: As |} gion in your much valued paper aris- ing out of thee road bond issue, b shall take the liberty to say a few words in regard to the bond issue. To my surprise,there is some oppod sition: If alt of your knockers couldér take a trip to each State in the Une jon and keep close tab on the roads of each State, and when they came to a State where they had fine roads well built, they would find the country full of good, thrifty people as well as the towns, high priced lands and everything showing thrift and- energy. I don't think there ie any proposition so important to Ine- deli county as the road question, and the taxes, as is shown, wild be increased so very Httle to each per- son. If each farmer there owning from 80 to 160 acres of tand had to pay say $5 to $10 more . taxes @ach year, this would be very compared to the many advantages he would derive from the good roads | compared with the bad roads. I eap | remember when a boy in Iredell that | three bales of cotton weighing 450 | to 500 ibs. made a heavy ioad from | Bethany to Statesville, and Cially so from late fall to , late | epring, and this is only seven Miles to go, and it took all dey, to make the round trip.
