This is well. The reason we have so-much useless legislation anid-so little of real benefit is that wo are not careful. enough about the class of men we send to Ral- eigh. Too. often aspiring politi- cians, young lawyers seeking advancement, are allowed to take these ‘places, in their own interest vather than the public good. How eve, we have good hope of the pres ent Legislature,even if it has turn-| ef down a dog law. Howev- er, there is no certainty. about any of this as yet. ‘ New counties are occupying much | attention of the Legislature. Dele- gations .and attorneys employed to lobby are, working for new county schemes, while other delegations and’ other lawyers are working : against them, Hoke county secured a ‘fa- vorable report and Piedmont and Avery counties have had their hear- ings. Senator Long and Represent- ative Turlington, of Iredell, are op= posed to all the new. counties; Rep- resentative Tomlin was understood te be undecided. 4 Politics is always miore or less active during the Legislature and the prospective senatorial fight a little more than a year hence is at- tracting attenion.

On this point a Cherlotte man remarked that the Sky-scraper in that town cost only about $250,000, and he regards a Similar building as ample for the State’s needs. There is no need to abandon the offices in the capi- tol, it is argued, and ample provis- fon can be made for all the room meeded, in a modern fireproof build- Ang; for $300,000 or $500,000 at the outside.

Mr. Spoon spoke first of the importance, in Building good roads, of selecting 4 permanent location and securing the proper grade, the most to prevent washing, for roads don't ; oul near so fast..as they work was then discussed. Macadam is expensive—$3,500 to $5,000 a} mile according to grade, more or | jese—and the work isn’t 50 lasting | as was formerly believed. Sand- clay roads are much less expensive in construction and up-keep, and properly constructed of the right material and given proper atten- tion, have proved satisfactory. The cost is one-third to one-fourth that) of macadam Mr. Spoon then discussed what ig known as the Wilson bond bill, now p ending in the Legislature,and | which ‘he says is sure to pass. This | bill in brief is for the State to issue road bonds to take up county bona issues and works this way: Iredell, for instance, issues $400,- 000 6 per.cent road bonds.

Iredell, paying 5 per) cent. interest, will pay off the bond | issue; principal and interest, in 41 years. This is a great advantage over the County acting independent- ly. In the latter case the county would have to pay 5 per cent. in- terest: straight and provide an ad- ditional tax for a sinking fund to pay the principal. __In-_-the above case the straight 5 per cent. pays both interest an@ principal in the time specified. At the conelusion of Mr. Spoon’s remarks Judge B. F. Long was elected chairman of the. meeting and Mr..W. L. Gilbert secretary. Mr. N. B Mills explained the object of the meeting. When Judge Long announced the meeting ready for business Mr. Milig offered the foregoing resolu- ‘tion and made motion for its adoption. ‘The motion was seconded by Mr. Geo. C. Goodman, of Moores- ville, and by Mr. Jno. M. Sharpe, the latter stating that the Iredell! a resolution favoring a $300,000 bond issue. The chairman of the meeting de- clared the motion before the house for discussion and Mr. J. 8, Clod- felter, of Shiloh township, asked whether the present road tax would float the bonds, whereupon Mr. D. M. Ausley, cashier of the Comumier- cial National Bank, who had figured on the. proposition, gave the facts and figures showing how the bonds could be taken care of without in- creasing the tax rate. Following Mr. Ausley, Mr, Wm. Wallace éxplained that the resolp- tion under consideration had been framed by committee of .citizens from Mooresville, Statesville and other parts of the county, at a meet- ing held for the purpose, it having been thought best to have a specit-|} : ie proposition to submit to the mass | ty the peo- Tredell s.

Vickery said that Betha- ny favors working the roads by tax* ation, and that he doesn’t see how this can ve done except through the plan proposed. Speaking for Chambersburg, Mr. C. L. Murdock said he had -made many inquiries and had found everybody in favor of a bond issue. When Coddle Creek was calledMr. T. J. Williams was asked to speak. After comparing our unimproved roads with the improved of Meck- lenburg and those which have re cently been improved in Iredell, Mr. Williams said that he couldn’t see why there could be objection to a plan by which we can get 200 miles of road within the next two years without increasing our taxes. He said that in his opinion the Mooresville and south Iredell move- ment had done good, and in explain- ing their attitude sald that the people of his section want to join in a county movement, but if the county won’t do anything as a whole they propose to do something in south Iredell.. He said there could be no good reason for the coun- try people kicking about roads first: being built out from the towns, when the towns macadamize their own roads or streets within their corporate limits out of the town treasury and then help build the roads throughout the county by pay- ing 40 per cent. of the total road taxes collected in the county.

A dispatch from Montgomery tells of. the passage of-a bill by the Alaba- ama Legislature, amending the con- stitution so as to allow the people of Jefferson county to reguiate the fees of ihe county offices. The member wlio introduced the resolu- tion stated ‘that some of the offices in that county pay as much as. $50,- 000 a year, and that in the last election several candidates for sher- iff spert- as much as $50,000 each to débauch the elec- \ealaries of the legislators.

Again and again it has been shown that highly protected Ameri- ean’ industries——industries: which contend that a high tariff on the products they manufacture is neces- tion by the foreign manufacturer-— sell their products:abroad, at a prof- it, of course, in competition with thi same much-dreaded, foreigner, at a much lower rate than they sell them at home. The wonder its that on this showing the. people — of this country continue to submit to a tar- iff levied not for government reve- nue but to put extortiouate. prof- its in the pockets of the manufac- turer. _In other words, submit to being robbed by the interests which have the power to use the govern- ment for this purpose: The latest on this subject and to the point, is from Mr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, who. is traveling abroad.

Evidence: The large number of people who have written The Landmark in the -past few weeks heartily endorsing the idea of restricting and taxing dogs, and an é@qually Jarge number who have epoken to. the editor in the same behalf. It may be that the friends of the dog, or those who believe the @og shcuid be unrestrained and un- taxed, are simply keeping silent; __but_ The Landmark has long. beliey- @d that more people favored going after the canines than most people think, and so much. has this belief grown recently that if the editor-of this paper were a candidate for tae} Legislature in Iredell (which he isn't, praise be,) he would make the regulation of dogs one of the planks in his piatiorm. Nothing will be done to the dogs by tie prese.t Legislature, but if the good women of the county who are losing poul- try will begiu to use their influence, and the t.en who favor regtraining dogs will syeak out, we'll proceed to ugitaic Curing the campaign next | year and force’ the legislative can- didates to take a stand.

Dogs, he declared, literally infested the county. Sheep* raising had been practically abandoned on account of their prowling depredations and mid night attacks on the sheepfolds: Birds’ nests were destroyed and the complete destruction of quail by them was only a question of time. The eggs were high, but not high enough to escape their sucking mouths: Fleas and hydrophobia were scattered abroad. by them and most of the dogs..were a constant} menace to life, liberty and a gen- eral nuisance. He excepted some dogs and said hic dolar tax would not hurt tiem, while he hoped it would cause a thinning out of the ranks of the others. . Coutinuing his remarks, Judge Ewart. reached the justices of the peace of his county, and and reach- ed fer° them. He said there were over a hundred in the county. Most of them were appointed by the Legis- lature beeause they never could have been elected by their constitu- ents. Many.of them could not write and some of them could not read: The State gave them a dollar and a half law book every other year, pages of which moat.of them never turned, and bésides this they were exempt from several ptiblic service duties, including working the roadg; and should be glad for all this t6 pay a doliar a year back into the treasury.

Raleigh News and Observer, 3d. The joint committge of the House and Senate on judicial districts met yesterday afternoon and held an tn- _| formal discussion as to the matter of judicial districts, the question of: salaries for solicitors being also dis- cussed. There was individual ex pressions of opinion but no action was taken. Several attorneys of the State gave their views on the matter. So- licitor Hammer, of Asheboro, said he approved of salaries and the election of solicitors by a State vote; that if at the close of a criminal court in the.middle of the week the civil docket be taken up ¢hat there would not be so much congestion of cases. Mr. U. L. Spence, of Car- thage, said he did not think there would be adequate relief till the solicitors were put on salaries and the Siate redistricted. Col. Fred. G. Coxe, of Wadesboro, favored 20 judicial districts, that now there were too muny counties in several districts. In the discussion. by members of the committee Representative R. H- Battic;-of-Wake; said it seomed ihat one or two additional districts are needed in order to expedite business.) Senator Hobgood, of Guilford, told of many counties now needing more terms of court, that there is.need of more districts, that perhaps two one-coumy districts, the judges rid- ing there to do emergency work, would serve, though there would be the question of a judge and a solic- itor having always to come from one county. - His opinion was that there should be 20 districts, with the so- licitors on salary. Some judges now have 49 weeks. of court and that none ought to have more than 40. The trend of opinion of the meet- ing seemed to be that the solicitors should be put on salaries, figures talked of being from $2,000 to $2,- 600 There was also the expression from some that the expenses allow- ed a judge should be increased, say from $250 to $750 a year. It was finally agreed that statistics about the districts, the number of coun- ties, the number of courts, etc., should be jnepared. before any actio was taken end as a sub-committee to prepare these Senator London and Representativé Rose were appointed. —_—_—_—_—_—_— “War ot Rebellion” Stricken Out.

Unrivaliled for Consti pation, Malaria, Headache, Dyspepsia. atc. at W. F. Hall's, ’ . j -\charge of TRACE OF MR. POWELL’S MONEY; and Appropriated the Money— Thirty Dollars Recovered. Lon Spann and Ed. Chambers, both colored, are under bond for their appearance at the next term of Superior Court to answer for having appropriated to their own use about $80 belonging to Mr. E. H. Powell, a well-known citizen of sorth Iredell: The negroes were given a hearing before Justice Tur- ner,who required$100 bond ofSpann and $25 of Chambers. Spann and Chambers were both drivers for Moore & Moore, livery¥ men, and their offense, which was committed several days ago, came about in this way. Mr. Powell left his horse at the Moore stable one day last week and when he went into the office to pay for its care he thoughtlessly left his pock- etbook, containing about $80, lying on the office desk. He did not miss the pocketbook until he reach- ed home, and next day he returned to Statesville\ in search of the mon- ey and yisited the stable. He ask- ed both Spann and Chambers if they had seen the pocketbook and both denied any knowledge of it. Mr. Powell made further search and inquiry about town, but to no avail, and an ad. in The Landmark tafled to find his money. The more he thought about the matter the stronger the conviction that he had left the pocketbook at the liv- ery stable and he finally explained the case to Sheriff Deaton. The sheriff and Deputy’ Ward Tuesday began an investigation and found that Spann had given up hig job at} the stable Saturday, and after mak-! ing considerable purchases Satur- Gay night, departed Sunday for Salisbury. It was found that when paying for some goods at a clothing store he made use of a $20 bill, and knowing that there were two $20 bills in Mr. Powell's pocketbook the officers swore out a warrant for Spann and Mr. Ward went to Salisbury gfter him Tuesday. After being arrested Spann ad- Mitted that he had some of Mr. Powell’s money, but said that it was en him by Chambers. Chambers | ) then arrested and when the case came to trial in Justice Tur-. her's court Wednesday both negroes made partial confessions, but each, tried te throw the weight of guilt on the other. Spann claimed that Chambers, who is a youth, handed him $59 Saturday night without any explanation except that } he had! found it, and that the money was|“% under arrest. At the same/|ngeded. These facts will very ma- received and a portion of it used ia buying clothing, ete. Chambers) claims that when he and Spann} first found the pocketbook in the! stable office he thought it was Mr. C. D. Moore’s, and he warned) Spann not to take it; but that! } Moore’s and proceeded it. Chambers further } claims that he got only $1.75 of the| money, that amount being given! to him by Spann Saturday night to pay for a hat. and other articles, and another dollar -was received from Spann Sunday. Spann told! him not to say anything about the matter. . NG aor When arrested Spann had $30 ou--his—-person and this amount, along with a rain coat and a pair of gloves which he had bought with some o* the stolen. money, - were turned over to Mr. Powell. All ef- forts to get the negroes to tell what became of the pocktbook which con- tained the money have been in vain and it is supposed that it was de- stroyed. The pocketbook was a val- uablé one and was highly prized by Mr. Powell, it having’ been present- | ed to him by one of his sons who} lives in the West. A feature of the hearing of the) case was a speech by the mother of Chambers, who accused Spann of having enticed her boy into trouble. She said that Ed. had never been guilty of wrong-doing before and that she believed ‘the Lord would take care of him in this case, while Spann would not only be punished for taking the money, but would also receive punishment for leading her boy into crime.

Ausley, cashier of mitted figures showing how a bond Hissue of $400,000, at 5 per cent., can bu paid off; principal and in- terest, in 40 years. The total val- uation of taxable property in the county is $10,345,029, and the total number of polls is 4,860. The present road tax is 231-3 centson the $10v valuation and 70 cents on each poll, which yields taxes as follows: ‘ That 1s to say, the tax levy for fhe pasi year would pay the 5 per cent. interest on $400,000 of bonds $20,000 annually—provide an an- $5,000 and veo eurrige-of $1,163.06. This annual sinking fund of $5,000 woul iu 40 years amouut to $260,000. By investing “the ‘sinking “fund “each ‘year at 5 per cent. and compounding ithe interest annually, the amount would be doubled in the 40 years, making $490,000 to pay off the bonds, Any individual can figure it for himself. Take the first $5,- 000 at 5 per cent. interest the first year and thie interest amounts to $250. The interest and principal then is $6,260.. Add to this the $5,000 of the second year and you have $10,250. Count this at 5 per cent., add the interest, then add the $5,000 for the next year, count 5 Per cent. on the total, and so on to the end, and you have the $400,- 000 in the 40 years. “Ht the interest is compounded station.

A Cow Seriously Injured—Two of the Dogs Killed. more damaging evidence is _ piling up against the Worthless Dog, the most highly favored of the North Carolina iegisiators. The other day dogs were heard barking iu the pasture of Mr, Geo. M. Austin, just east of town, and later tue beliowing of cattle could be .heard mingled with the yelpsi of the dogs. The baying of dogs is nothing unusual in that section and members of the Austin family paid little attention to it at first, but when he heard the lowing of the eattle Mr. Ralph Austin realized that something was wrong, and geiz- ing his snot gun he hurried to . the pasture. Reaching the pasture he was confronted with a scene that was calculated to make any one want to shoot dogs for a week. Ly- ing in a branch, almost’ totally ex- hausted, was d cow, her head were three dogs—a big bull dog, a bound and a shepherd— all biting the fallen beast so fran- ticaNy that they paid no attention to . Austin or the antics of the other cattle which were congregated about them, lowing piteously. Mr. Austin saw that the cow was bleed- ing about the head and on getting nearer he cculd see that the bull dog had her by the neck. Mr. Aus- tin struck the dogs with his gun barrel in an effort to drive them away from the cow so he could shoo without danger of shooting the an- imal, but the bull dog refused to re- lease his grip and the firat shot tired bored a hole through the dog’s neck, killing it. Mr. Austin then turned the gun on the hound and put it out of business with the second shot. By this time the shepherd dog decided it was to go and the last shell he had was used by Mr. Austin in sprink- ling the shepherd with shot as he ran away. Had he had. an- other shell Mr. Austin thinks he could have finished the job, but ag it was the shepherd got away only slightly wounded. Investigation revealed that . the cow wifich the dogs had down, in the braach was seriously. wounded, ft is thought she will recover. Her. head--was. badly lacerated. by the dogs and on her shouldérs and neck are numerous wounds. A large piece of, flesh was torn from one jaw, this being the worst wound. And this cow was not the only one injured by the dogs. Four oth- ers were bitten about the neck and shoulders and on the nose. There is no fear that either of the dogs was affecte~ with hydrophobia and It fs evident that they were of the “sheep-killing” class, and there be- ing no sheép for them to prey upon they turned their attention to cat- tle.

Mr. Reavis Denounces the Shooting of Cleve McBride by the Iredell To ‘the Editer of The Landmark: I desire to make public some of the facts in regard to the shooting of Cleve McBride on Sunday after- noon, January 29th, which you pub- ished in The ‘Landmark of January Sist..

Joyner fi ing himself on the while about?by Cleve McBride the latter made his escape by the south “entrance. As soon as he stepped from the |” south porch he was fired upon Pmembersof the posse from trees and building, one of the gang exclaiming, when he discharged his piece, “There he comes, God damn him! Kill him!” No member of the gang attempted to arrest McBride or catch him un- til they had discharged their guna aud pistols, when they ordered him to halt. After being knocked to his knees by being shot in the back of his head with a muzzle-loading pistol, loaded with shot, fired from ambush within less than four feet of his head, his body penetrated with two pistol balls, his legs perforated with large shot, -one.leg having 18 shot in it, McBride ran several yarda and fell exhausted. Shot down«like titme|# dog, he offered no resistance. He had uo pistol, notwithstanding «all statements to the contrary. After the smoke of this brave and herolie charge had cleared away, some of th beaste in human form hied th ves back to Iredell; one went to a distant justice of the peace i Yadkin county and had his warrant. endorsed after night, not telling said justice that they had shot up Cleve McBride.

In the -meantime warrants had been issued by a nearby justice of the peace for as many of the gang as were known, and when arrested in fredell county at the home of one was found a refugee trom United States Deputy Marshal Carroll, where itt is said he has been har~ bored for some time.

Among them is one bearing date of March 6, 1900, commenting on the inaugu- ration of Presidént Taft and the de- Hiverance of the country from Pres- ddent Roosevelt: “Astronomers assure us that the attraction of gravitation on the @urface of the sun is 28 times as powerful as. ig the force at the @arth’s surface; and that the object which weighs 217 pounds elsewhere would weigh 6,000 pounds there. For seven years this country has lain- smothering under a burden ike that, th incubus representing, Im the person of--President~ Roose- Yelt, the difference between 217 pounds an 6,000.

Probably not, probably only for a brief breathing spell, wherein under Mr. Taft, we may hope to get back Bome of our health—four years. We May expect to have Mr. Roosevelt Bzitting on us again with his 28 times t! weight of any other pres- idential burden that a hostile Prov- ince would impose upon us for our sins. “Our people have adored this @howy charlatan as perhaps no im- poster of his breed has been adored Since the golden calf; so it is to be ‘@xpected that the nation will want Bim back again after he is done hunting other wild animals heroic- ally in Africa, with the safeguards and advertising equipment of a park @f artillery and a brass band.” ’ . * . ~~-Manuel, the young King of Port- gal, who was recently deposed and the government of his country con- Werted into a republic, so-called, has been quite liberally dealt with by the Portugal republicans, notwith- @tanding their aversion to royalty. Wot only is the young man granted ® pension of $3,300 thé month, or "$39,600 the year, but his debts, amounting to more than $300,000, are to be paid by the-republic; and im addition to this the legal rights of the exiled royal family to such property as they have in Portugal will be respected. A good many of us wouldn’t object to being an exiled Kir~ under such provision @g that; and if Manuel is a young Man of sense (which we fear he fgn’t) he will be entirely’ satisfied.

Any One® who remembers the nse of: mileage on trains a few years ago will readily recall that the time consumed in pulling mileage was little if any more than is necessary to take up the average ticket, Only regular travelers buy mileage and 99 per cent. of these have the book out and the number of miles checked off by the time the conductor reaches them, and all that official has. to do i to tear off the mileage. Even when the - conductor has to ask where to aad count off the mileage him- self, the time consumed is n6t more, on the average, than is uged. in.ex- amining a ticket. The Landmark has no personal concern inthe mile- age business, except that it wants the traveling men and their mileage out of the way when it has to go to’ the window to buy a ticket,but the conductors are asking too much when they ask us to believe that their work will be so increased by the pulling of mileage (something they abandoned only about three years ago), that they will be unable to properly operate trains and the lives of passengers will be endanger- ed in consequence. It’s ‘a wonder they di* ’t say that pulling mileage would so increase their work that they will b- unable to assist pas- sengers On and off trains and see that they are properly seated. Democrats Endorse Reciprocity With Canada. Washington Dispatch, 6th. Favorable action of the House on the Canadian reciprocity agreement was assured tonight when the cau- cus of Democratic Representatives formally pledged the party to vote for the agreement. The resolution endorsing the Ca- nadian agreement was carried 90 to 22.. On motion of Mr. Clark of Mis- souri Che action of the caucus was made unanimous... The. 22 who vot- ed against the resolution, it was ex- plained later, were those who had voted for free lumber, etc., and their action in caucus was to make their position consistent. It was stated -that-they -would- vote -with the party. : The resolution as adopted by the caucus follows: “Whereas, The Canadian reciproc- ity agreement negotiated by the re- ciprocity commission of the Dominion of Canada and the President of the United States, while not formulat- ed in accordance with Democratic platform demands, is a reduction of some of the prohibitive schedules in the Payne tariff law and will tend to expand the trade of the United States in the Dominion of Canada and is in part a recognition of the principles the Democratic party has contended for in the Congress and in its platforms; therefore, be it “Resolved, That this caucus en- dorse the Canadian reciprocity agreement and bind ourselves to vote for a bill carrying it Into ef- fect.” Messrs. Hammond, of Minnesota, Brantley, of Georgia, Webb, of North Carolina, Legare, of South Caroli- Na, an’ others, spoke in opposition. Mr. Webb announced that he could not vote for a blow at raw mate- rials. These Democrats invoked the caucts rules, which exempts a man action when he has made a pledge to the contrary to his constituents: Webb, o* North Carolina;, Pujo and Bronasard, of Louisiana; and Ham- mond, of Mirnesota. All these had made pledges to their constituents to vote for raw materials against the manufactures, Giving a Mortgage and Issuing [ , : Greenville Reflector. There are men who have no hes- itancy about giving a direct mort- gage to buy a horse, a buggy, a piano, to run their trops, or even to get a washing machine right. Yet those same men will lift their hands in horror at the suggestion of giving an indirect mortgage to build good roads even when they will never be called upon to pay the principal and only their proportional part of the interest: At- the same timé the mortgage for the good roads, while not adding anything to their taxes, will save them enough on the wea: and tear of horses and vehicles , and -jost time to enable them to pay off their direct individ- ualgmortgage. If they would look at e situation logically, they should be able to see it in this light.

Booker T. Washington, the colored educator, had dined at the White House with -the Presidegt. All sorts of explanations ofthe in-| cident were offered except by the principals—Rooseyelt and Washing- ton. They said nothing, Those who wished to make it/as easy as possible for the President, insisted that the affair was not.a dining at all, but a luncheon and an acciden- tal luncheor ‘at that; that Wash- ington hal called to see the Presi- dent and while in © the hour came for the President to “stay himself’’ by eating a gmack; that this snack was a sort of hand- out and the fact that the President and Booker T, chewed pie § while they talked could by wo Means be construe as dining together, But after the years have passed and the Incicent was forgotten, the negr tells the story of his dining with Roosevelt. Here it is as he wrote it in World’s Work: When I reached Mr. McKinlay’s house, [ found an invitation from President. Roosevelt, asking me to dine with him at the White House that evening at 8 o’clock. At the hour appointed I went to the White House and dined with the President and members of his family and a gentleman from Colorado. After dinner we talked at considerable length concerning plans about the South which the President had in mind. [I left the White House al- ost immediately and took a tfain é@ same night for New York. The next morning I noticed that the New York Tribune had about two lines,stating that I had dined with the President the previous night. That was the only New York paper, so far as I saw, that, mentioned the matter. Within -a—tew—hours =the whole incident completely passed from my mind. I mentioned the matter casually during the day to a friend—Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr. then president of the Long Island railroad—but spoke of it to no one else and had no intention of doing so. There was, in fact, nO reason why I should discuss it or men- tion it to any one. My surprise can be imagined when, two or three days afterward, the press, North and South, was filled with dispatches and editorials relating to my dinner with the Pres- ident. For days and weeks I was pursued by reporters in quest of in- terviews. I was deluged with tel- egrams and letters asking for some expression of opinion or an explan- ation; but during the whole of the period of agitation and excitenient I did not give out a single inter- view and di not discuss the matter in any way. Some. newspapers attempted to weave into thig incident a deliném ate and well-planned scheme on the part of President Roosevelt to lead the way in bringing about the social intermingling of the two races. 1am sure that nothing was further from the President’s mind than this; certainly it was not in my mind. Mr. Roosevelt simply found that he could spare the time best during and after the dinner hour for te discussion of the mat- ters which both of us were interest- ed in. “The public interest aroused by this dinner seemed all the more ex- traordinary and usg-called for, be- cause, on previous occasions, I had taken tea with Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle; I had dined with the Governors of nearly every State in the North; I had dined in the same room with President McKinley at Chicango at the Peace Jubilee dinner, and J. had dined. with. ex- President Harrison in Paris and with many other prominent public men.” of Cross-Ties Remains The ‘cross-tie, says the Monroe Enquirer, sells lower than anything else oa the market, taking into con- sideration the value of the tree as it stands in the forest and the work to be put on the market. Just take a look a. a first-class. cross-tie, a splendid piece of postoak or white- er defects, a stick of timber large enough to make good plank of— think of the labor it took to fell the -imber, to score and hew it on two sides'and strip it of the bark on the other two sides, and the hewing must not be roughly done, either, and then take into consideration that the cross-tie was hauled anywhere from five to ten miles, to the railroad,.eight of them making a good load, ‘and was sold for—only~*5~ cents; or-three dollars and eighty cents for the whole load. Netwithstanding the scarcity of tim- ber, but nowithstanding the fact the everything else is going up in price, a crogs-iie can be bought now for just about what it could be when the railroad was built through this section nearly forty years ago. iz DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED By local applications, as they can net reach the diseased, portion of th ear.

The Difference in Mem Characterizes the Individuality of States. ‘ Richmond Times-Dispatch. “The Boston Globe has made a very interesting os of the sizes of the various State Legislatures. New Jersey, for example, has-a-Senate- of twenty-one members.and a House with sixty. This gives that State a joint vote of eighty-one. Nevada has twen- ty Senators and forty-nine members of the lower branch, with sixty-nine votes in joint assembly. These are smaller than all the other States on ey ballot, excepting Delaware, which as a total of fifty-two votes, and Utah, with a total’ of sixty-three, There are but seventeen Senators. in Delaware and but eighteen in Utah. In a majority of the States the Sen- ate membership. is between thirty and fifty. In Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia there are: thi members. In Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado and Connecticut. the number of Senators is thirty-five. In California, Massachu- setts, Kansas and Virginia there are forty members. In lowa, Indiana, Pennsylvania and North Carolina there are fifty Senators, Minnesota, with sixty-three, the largest Senate. _ New Englanti leads all the country in House membership. The New Hampshire House contains 389 mem- bers. This is fly in excess of any other State. chusetts has 240 representatives. Vermont has 246, Connecticut has 296. Maine has 151 and Rhode Island is limited to 100. Rhode Island is the only New England State that is anywhere near the States of the West in the moderate size of its General Assembly.

In, his message to the Legislature, Governor Kitchin said: J “T also recommend that in pur- chasing goods, wares or merchandise for the use of the State or any of it | institutions that it be provided that preferencé shall be given to the pro- ducts of independent manufacturers and dealers.” The resolution introduced by Sen- ator Thorng is as follows: A resolution to encourage the use of goods made by independent manufacturers and to . discriminate against goods made and sold by trusts and illegal combinations. Whereas, it is the policy © of, the State of North Carolina to make impossible’ tife existence of illegal combinatious in restraint of trade, trusts and monopolies, and Whereas, these unlawful ‘combina- tions, trusts and monopolies draw thei: sustenance from the gale of goods made and sold by them,and, Whereas, it is the duty of the State by precept and example to encourage the people to use the goods made by independent_manu- facturers and to discriminate agains the goods manufactured and sold by trusts, taonopolies and combina- tions in regtraint of trade; therefore be it resolved by th Senate, theHouse ofRepresentatives concur- ring: First.

That on or before the first day of December, 1912, that the various State insti- tutions of North Carolina make re- port to the Governor of the State giving detailed information of their comp}iance with this resolution, and in instances in which they have been forced to purchase goods made by a trust, monopoly or combination in restraint of trade, give their reasons for se doing.

The government last week won a swecping, victory in a novel test case commerce act when a jury in the Federal Distriet Court atNewOrleans returned a vers dict of guilty against the Texas and Pacific railroad on two indictments embracing five counts. The Charges against the railroad were that in the guise of storage charges freight rates in excess of rates prescrib- ed by the commerce commission wer made on grain shipments from Ar- kansus points to New Orleans. The penalty which the court may im- pose ranges from a $10,000 to $20,- 000 tine or each count. It is stated that the read will be called upon to pay back all such excess charges collected, smounting, according to, the government agents, to thousands of dollars. Assistant District Attorney Speck, who conducted the prosecution, ex- pressed tie belief that an investi- gation would disclose the operation in other parts of the country of sim- roads to collect freight rates in ex- ilar echemes on the part of the rail- cess of those laid down in the tariff schedules. Ravages of the Plague in Man. churia, A dispatch from Harbin, Man-/| churia, says that already nearly 6,- 00 bodies of victims of the plague have been burned or buried in the outskirts of Harbin. Forty-eight hundred of these came from the Chi nese town, and a thousand from the Russian quarter. Saturday six- teen stacks of coffins and seven pits filled with bodies and oiled logs, blazed outside the town. The mortality among the physi- clans and the hospital attendants ig high, considering the means taken for their protection, and doctors, ‘turses and crderlies are succumbing to the disease.

Resistance to the uttermost of attempts to transfer from Congress to the various State Legislatures the control of the time and manner of electing United States Senators as proposea by the resolution provid- ing for their eiection by direct vote of the people, was advised by Sen- ator Lodge, of Massachusetts, in a speech ia the Senate today. Mr. Lodge was speaking in oppo- sition to the proposed new amend- ment to the constitution as a whole, but he found an especial mark in the portior placing the direct man- agement of the detail of senatorial elections in the various State Legis- ——————_—— . Lodge Violently Opposes Change in Senators. | latures, Declaring that the proposed change in this respect “strikes at the very foundation of the nation- al government,”” Mr. Lodge said that the plan violates the plans of the framers: 0* the constitution. “It is now proposed,”’ he contin- ued, ‘‘te put-the United States gov- ernment, so far as the election of Senators is concerned, at the mercy of the States It is proposed to take from the United States any power to protect its own citizens in the exercise of their rights, no mat- ter how great the need might be for such protection. If this amendment should become a law 23 States; in- cluding perhaps only a minority of the population, could at any moment arrest the movement of the govern- ment anc stop all its operations. The Senator denounced as a “mockery” *the ‘‘pretense”’ that the proposed legislation is progression. Not only was it a mockery, but it was retrogression and reaction of an extreme kind.

Mr. Floyd was a single man about 28 years old, and a pharma- cist: He owned good property in South Carolina and two years ago ran for elerk of the court of Horry county.

She States as a reason for her act that he was making some indecent ap+ proach upon her person, but it is the opinion of those who knew the man that the killing was premedi- tated on the part of the woman.

The announcement of a reward of $260 offered by Governor Kitchin tor Woodfin Greene, an escaped con- vict from the State’s prison farm in Halifax county, brings to jight a remarkable condition. Greene was convicted in Mitchell county last spring of the murder of Ed. L. Young at Elk Park and sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. He made his escape from the guards in Halifax December 3_and the escape was duly reported in the newspapers, but relatives of the deceased were assured after a few days that it was not Wocdfin Greene, white, but Wil- liam Greene, a negro, who had es- caped. Ralph Young, a brother of the deceased, was informed that it was Woodfin Greene who had escap- ed and his neighbors told him that they had seen the fugitive near his home and talked with him and that he had left for Oregon. Final- ly Mr. Young wrote to Representa- tive Norman, of Mitchell, who is here attending the Legislature, and he has returned from a trip of in- vestigation to Halifax, where the re- port cf Woodfin Greene's escape was confirmed. It seems that his number was 15121 and that William Greene’s number was 16122 and when the escape was reported to the penitentiary authorities the wrong number was given and hence thé confusing of the names, Entertainmnet at Kennedy School House—Other News.

The United States Court of Ap- peals at Richmond last week over- ruled the decision of Judge Boyd in the case of the Mooresville Cot- ton Mills vs. the Southern ilway Company. ‘The Mooresville mill brought suit against the Southern for damage to cotton mill machinery shipped from Denver, Col., to Mooresville and for overcharges ip freight. The cage was tried in the Federal Court in’ Statesville and the jury gave the mill company a verdict of $5,- 000° for damage to machinery and $750 for freight overcharges. Judge Boyd set aside the $5,000 allowance for damage and sustained the ver- dict as to overcharges. The Court of Appeals reversed Judge Boyd on both points. The verdict for $5,- 000 is allowed to stand and a new trial is ordered- in the matter of freight overcharges. The attorneys for the mill com- pany in the case were Z.

The case, a) suit for payment for rock bought | from Mr. Rhinehart for macadam work, was the result of a misunder- standing as to the amount of the rock The jury was out from 10,30 in the forenoon till 8 at’ night. The court was ready to quit Thursday afternoon and the jury was called in to see if an agreement was near. The prospect of an agreement didn’t seem to be encouraging and the jury was sént back to wrestle: with the case. Court adjourned with the un- derstanding that the, clerk could take the verdict and the judge could sign the jadgment out of court.This left the jury an indefinite time for agreement; Whether the prospect of staying on the job for a long time had anything to do with the early finish of the case is not khown, but the jury got together by 8 o’clock Thursday night.

He then took up the ef- fect it would have on corn and wheat prices, on the value of farm lands in this coun d on the milling industry. He lared that “in respect to corn the American is king and will remain so, reciprocity or no recprocity.” As to wheat, he said the domestic Price is governed bythe world Biprice and that “the sending of any Part of Canada’s surplus through our country: instead of through Can- ada to be milled, or to be exported without milling, will not perceptibly or materially affect-the price of wheat for our farmers.’’ The value of farm lands, hesaid, /|is affected by the proximity to mar- r +| ket more than by any other element, ble meas: $2,000 was also Bille introduced: To crease tor public gchools from cents. - A bill was passed length the “recall” provision in the bill releting to the retorder’s court at Wilmington. - Theré was much opposition to the . “recall” idea, which means that when an official is not satisfactory to the voters they can “‘recall’’ or oust him.

The Piedmont county bill, which had been defeated in the House, was laid on the table in the Senate, so that the proposition is dead for this session.

Bills introduced: Providing for the medical inspection of school children in the towns or cities of North Carolina, having a population of 4,000 or over; to encourage the manufacture of wood alcohol; giv- ing membere of the militia medals for 15. years’ service and exempt- ing them from liability for acts committed under orders.

Another Lipe From Southern Power Go. Statesville now has_,.connection with two lifies “of the Southern Power Company, the second line, which comes from Gastonia via Lincolaton, Newton and Hickory, having. been cut in Sunday. . This new connection means that if anything gets wrong on one line connection can be made with ai- ether in ten miutes, and this is 4 great relief. It is not probable that both lines will be off at the same time and there will likely be little if any interruption of service here- after. Heretofore Statesville was, entirely dependent on one line and if anything -h on that line ell his farm and give ork, . gaid, “he S| ion. and he maintained that the Ameri- can farmer would still have the advantage in this respect. He also predicted a great increase in Ameri- can milling as a result of the agree- ment. “It is a mere truism,” said the President, “to say that the farm- ers of a country constitute the greatest wealth-producing class of the country and that it is of the greatest’ importance to conserve their welfare. When we have had good crops, the wheels of all indus- tries have moved and wealth has been stored.

There are yet a few who would keep aflame the bitter memories of the past, but public sentiment is so much against hem that only on rare occasions is the feeling manifest, and then itcomes from the unreconciled who live inthe bitter memories of adead past. While politics should have no part in it, itis proper to say in this connection that both the House of Congress and the Rhode Island Legislature are con- trolled by men who were not in sym- pathy with the South-in-the- conflict, and for this reason the promptness with which the change was made is the more remarkable.

Web- ster’s [Unabridged defines civil war as “‘a war between different sections or partiesfof the same country or na- tion.”’. But if Deacon Hemphill’s def- inition is correct, civil war is a less offensive term than war of the rebellion and we have no idea that those who assented-to the change considered the strict definition of the words.

In recent’ years North Carolina Legisla- tures have shown a remarkable incli- nation to enact laws that will make di- vorce easy, and usually such legisla- tion has its origin in a special case— some member is attorney for a party who desires a divorce but cannot ob- tain it underfexisting law; or someat- torney not a member of the Legisla-| ture has influence enough to secure! the passage of}.an easy divorce law, which amounts to the same thing. Some years ago, when a large num- ber of theablest !men in the Statey were members of the Legislature, the divorte ‘question was threshed out and many of the statutes repealed, so that divorce in this State was placed practically on Biblical grounds. But each succeeding Legislaturetampered with the law and let down the bars. A statute now provides that separa- tion for ten years, where there areno children, shall be cause_for-divorce, and a bill to tnake the term five years 1913.

A bill has been favorably report- ed in the Legislature to expend $10, @00 erecting in the capitol square in Raleigh a monument to the wo- men of the Confederacy. ‘Nothing is too good for the memory of the women of the Confederacy, but a splendid memorial and one’ that would more fittingly honor their memory, would be to expend ~ this money in the erection and mainte- mance of a home for old women who have no home and who are depend- ent on the grudging charity of rela- tives and friends, or failing that must go to the county home.

Senator Overman to Action pray mens st Washington Dispatch, 19th, Greensboro News. As showing how determined cer tain Republican Seriators are to prevent the enactment of Canadian reciprocity legislation at this time, it was remarked by one of the members yesterday,during a meeting of one of the more important com- mittees, that he had -received: many requests for a hearing from those opposed tq the trade agreement. It was likewise remarked that the agreement, as submitted by the President, contemplates a change of a fifth of the schedules of the Payné-Aldrich bill. and, therefore, it is contended by those who are op- posed to hasty action, all those di- rectly concerned must be given a hearing. These hearings would be held by the finance committee, of which Sen ator Simmons is a member. It goes without saying that, if anything like a full hearing should be insisted upon by all those affected by this legislation, it would be impossible for the Senate to act at this session. : It developed at the conference of Democratic Senators today that Mr. Overman is among those Senators who. ,whiie inclined to support the treaty, do not believe action should be taken at this time. Mr, Over- man thinks these tariff matters should be left with the Democrats to deal with, anyway, in line with the verdict rendered by the people at the polls last November. Jim Crow Law Sustained. The Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis has sustained the “Jim Crow" car law of Oklahoma, one of the three judges dissenting.

W P, Eddieman, one of the foremost good road builders in the State, who constructed macadam roads.in Mecklenburg, Gaston and other counties, is launching a new idea about the convict camp. He has secured several acres of ground and will plant a garden of cabbage, beans, corn, tomatoes, etc., for the prisoners to use in the spring and summer. The garden will be work- ed by “‘trusties’’ and half-sick con- victs who are not able to do hard labor on the roads, Mr. Eddleman is planning-to have one of the larg- est. gardens in this section. It is perhaps the first time a convict camp has ever attempted gardening. A tew minutes’ delay in treating som cases of croup, even the length of tim it’ takes to go a doctor, often prove dangerous.

And the coming of a parliament, popular government, to guide the destinies of the vast; empire over which the Son of Heay- en has reigned supreme for more than four thousand years—-this is only .one chapter in the whole mér- velous story, not of China awak- ening, but of China awake. For the breaking with tradition, the accept- ance of modern ideas, which but is now a matter of history. “China Breaking Up,” was the keynote of everything written about the Middle Kingdom‘ten years ago;. “China Waking Up” has been the keynote of everything treating of it these last five years. Now one phrase is almost as obsolete as the other. The breaking-up didn’t Seeeenas the waking-up has already i Sir John Jordan; British- minister to China, does not exaggerate when he declares that in a European sense China has made greater prog- ress these last ten year than in the preceding ten centuries. - The criticism one hears most often now, is, not that the popular leaders are too conservative, but that they are, if anything, too radical; are moying not too slowly, but too rap- idly. Instead of the old charge that Chi na is unwilling to learn what the West has to teach, I now hear for- eigners complain that a dittle con- tact with Europe and America gives a leader undue influence. “Let an of- ficial take a trip abroad and for six - most respected authority in the empire."" Instead of English mis- sionaries worrying slavery to the opium habit, we now have English officials embarrassed because Chiva’s too rapid, breaking leose from opium threatens heavy deficits in Indian revenues. Instead of the old extreme “States’ Rights’ attitude on the part of’ the provin- ces, as illustrated by the refusal of the other8 to aid Manchuria and Chihli in the war with Japan, the beginnings of an intense nationalism are now very clearly in evidence.

She is the daughter of Morris Menges, a well-known Brooklyn horseman, and the divorced wife of Captain James Hill, of the British army. ‘ Counsel for Mrs. Hill made a strong plea for the court’s mercy, but Judge Martin said that he felt that a jail sentence was necessary as a lesson. “I regret to say,” he added, “‘that women are much more prone to attempt smuggling than are men.” Mrs. Hill pleaded guilty to smug- gling into this country a sable coat and other goods valued at $8,000. Her mother sat near her during the proceedings and sobbed bitterly when sentence was pronounced, KLady Decies Smoked a Cigarette. Richmond Times-Dispatch. Loid Decies and his bride are spending their honeymoon at Jekyll Island, off the Georgia coast, and a dispatch from Brunswick says that when the train. stopped there on their arrival the other day My Lord and My Lady were at luncheon “in the dining car, and after they had finished eating, that Lady Decies took her seat at the window in view of tho crowd, took a cigarette from a jeweled case,lighted it and quiet- ly began to puff, whereupon the crowd on the outside began to cheer and this stuff has been telegraph- ed to the newspapers! It is hard- ly worth the tolls, but. people will read it, and doubtless some earnest reformer will preach about it, or write about it, or talk about it as if it really happened. If the story be true, we are very sorry, indeed, to know that Lady Decies is given to the cigarette habit. It would be 80 much more manly if: she would smoke a pipe or a cigar. The cig- arette should be left entirely to the young fellows who hang around the} street corners, and wear spats, and talk slang, and think they are hay- ing a good time. —_—__ Strong Preacher and Popular Pas- tor; To tw Editor of The Landmark: I feel that it is proper to mention the ood work our pastor, Rev.

He looked over the town Tuesday, interviewed Many citizens and was favorably impressed with the town and the demand for gas. Tuesday night Mr. Kenney met with a number of citizens at the Commerial club rooms and talked over the matter. He proposed to put in @ modern, uptodate plant, the estimated cost, with ten miles of mains and other appurté- nanc’s,being about $90,000. Of this amount he asks local people to aub~! scribe $40,000, the directors and officers of the company to te local people, who will thus control the business. Mr. Kenney thinks a plant can be : Operation {n about three months and from his investigationg he be- lieves that 800 connections would be made by the end of the first year.

Mr. Lackey’s. kitch- en. The vessel or still or whatever one may choose to ‘call it, was a 7-gallon..lard.can with a wooden head. On top of this wooden head was a tin econaenser, an "ingenious arrangement with a pipe of glass and cane om one side, transmitting a fluid into a jar. On top ,and to one side of the condenser a of water wae so arranged that the water trickled in in the proper pro- — and passed out at another point. Mr. Davis, who has bad long ex~ perience in examining ‘all sorts of arrangements set up to manufacture “speerits,” gaye he never saw one exactly like this. Whoever invent- ed the condenser could, if there is demand for a contrivance of that sort, make money by getting a pat~ ent on his. invention. , Cider was boiling in the lard can amd the officers had a suspicion that the fluid passing out of the cane pipe might be brandy, but Mr. Lackey averred that he was boil- ing cider for his own use, and it a be that the attees, inclined. suspicious in ail such cases, were too suspicious. ~But—m the abundance of caution they brought the outfit away with them and Mr. Davis now has it in charge. : BRIEF ITEMS OF LOCAL NEWs ~-There is talk that the fruit hag all been killed in the bud.

Ordinarily the general public might not feel any special. interest in this work, but appeal-to every citizen. Recently the State established at Concord the Jackson Training Schoo for Wayward: boys. Boys who are not or canyeut be eontrdiied by their parents, or who have nd, perents and are thown out in the..world to fall into evil ways, are sent to this schoel and trained-to be useful and good men.. And this school is all that stands between such -boys and a life of crime. Boys who fall into crime must be restrained, and if there is no other place to. gend them, for the protection of society they must go to the jail or the chain gang, where they are herded with hardened crimivals and their complete, destruction made more certain. This. Jackson Training School is doing a splendid work in saving such.boys and training them for useful ‘citizenship. The capacity of the school is lim- ited dnd it can receive no more boys until more room is provided. The Nye memorial will be a building at this schoul and the appeal for funds demands are made on the State that it cannot give the school all the money it needs, and so the public ig asked to contribute. Every child who gives so much.as a penny on Bill Nye Day will help in a worthy cause—a work that is to save and bless humanity And the contribu- tions should not be confined to children. The grown-ups can help in no-more worthy cause, and while this Bill Nye Day in the schools is |for the children, contributions from others will be gladly received at any time. The Landmark believes a nice little fund should be raised in Statesville for this purpose and this paper will be glad to receive contributions and forward them to the treasurer of the committee, contained a statement from the American consul general at Shangh:§ China, with reference to the terrible conditions produced by the famine in China, in which the opinion was expressed thct two million people will die of starvation uniess they are speedily relieved.

At the meeting of the State Press Association in Wilmington last gush- mer it was decided to erect a me- morial to the late Bill Nye, the hu- morist writer, who spent his last days in North Carolina and whowe remains lie buried in our State. This matter might not interest the general public but for the form of the memorial, which is to be, a building at the Jackson Training School, the school erected near Concord for the training of way- ward boys. To heip on .thia work, which should enlist the sympathy and co-operation of all our citizens, Hon. J. ¥- Joyner, State superintend ent of schools, has designated Wed- nesday, the 22d, as Bill Nye Day, and in doing so has issued the fol- lowing letter: To the County Superintendents and the Public School Teachers: The public press of North Caro- lina has always responded gener- ously and unselfishly to every call of.the public schoolg for service, and no agency has been more potent in promoting the development of these schools and the progress of education in the State. The county superintendents and the public school teachers now have an op- portunity to express their appreci- ation of ‘this service,and to render at the same time a valuable service to a most worthy cause by co-oper- ating heartily with the “Bill Nye Memorial Committee” in their com- mendable effort to raise funds for the erection of a central or main building at the “Stonewall Jackson Manual,Training School,” to be known ‘as the “Bill Nye Memorial Building.” The committee has prepared an interesting programme for the cél- ebration of Bill Nye Day in the pub- lic schools. An hour devoted to honoring the memory of sueh a man who loved all children and all men, who devoted his splendid talents to making them happier and betjer, through his writings, will be prop- erly and profitably spent. I earnestly request and urge the county superintendent of each coun- ty to distribute these programmes to the public school teachers of the county, accompanied by a letter to each teacher, directing the set- ting apart of an hour in the school for this celebration, and urging the hearty co-operation of the teacher for the success of the celebration. The noble work of the Stonewall Jackson Training Séhool for giving wayward boys of the State a chance to have a chance to be trained into goed citizens should appeal mercy of God might be like these) wayward boys. It therefore, for these children to have an opportunity to make a contribu- tion té such a work. It will do them good. I earnestly urge, there- fore, that county superintend- ents and teachers lend their hearty co-operation “in securing , at least penny contribution from ‘every c in thé public schools for the erec- and |tion of the Bill Nye Memorial Build- ling for increasing the facilities at |the State’s sehool for training way- |; ward boys. I designate Wednesday, the 22d |}day of February, for this celebra- jtion. I suggest that the teacher de- vote an hour on this day to reading the pupils this bookiet and to arous- ing an enthusiastic interest in Bill |Nye and his work and in the work of the Stonewall Jackson Training School, concluding the exercises | with an earnest appeal for a con- tribution of at least one penny |from every child, to be brought |néxt morning. All contributions should be for- | warded by the teacher or the princi- | pal of the school to Mr. R. W. Vin- ;cent, secretary of the Bill Nye Me- |morial Committee, Charlotte, N. C., and they will be acknowledged in |the columns of the Charlotte Ob- | server. Very truly yours, | J. Y. JOYNER Supt.

Law to Apply to the Whole State— A Million For Confederate Veter- ans and $400,000 For Public Schouls——1] egiMative Summary. Iw the House Monraay Bills were introduced: Appropriating $1,060, Ov for pensions for Confederate veterans and widows of veterans; to save costs in trial of e¢riminal cases. A great many bills were in- troduced, many of them-of-a local character, The bill for a bond issue of one Million dollars for an administration building was made special order for the 16th Among the bills passed was the Measure to provide for a reissue of bonds falling due in 1913 and for the issuance of short time notes to cover the deficit in the State Treas- ury The Ewart resolution providing for the investigation of trusts was unfavorably reported but Judge Ew- art presented a minority report. The resolution passed second reading but was tabled on third reading. At the night . session of the House there was a long debate on Judge Ewart’s bill reducing railroad fare to 2 cents a mile on roads that refuse to allow mileage to be pull- ed on trains. The committee report was unfavorable but a minority re port was filed and this was adopt- ed on second reading by a yote of 43 to 35. Among the bills favorably report- ed was one to appropriate $406,000 to the public schools, An important bill passed by the Senate was that to prohibit the dumping of sawdust into the stream of North Carolina. This bill was to save the trouble and expense of passing so many local measures. All| efforts to exclude certain counties | failed and the only amendment} adopted was a provision that it) shall not go into effect for six! months after ratification. | Among the important bills intro-| duced was one to authorize the Gov- | ernor to appoint a tax commission | consisting of three men to report by / October 25th next a scheme for} equalizing the valuation of lands) and other property. It is provided | that each member of the commission) shall receive for his servicese the} sum of $500 and actual traveling | expenses to place of meeting and re-' turn. Another bill of State-wide; interest was that authorizing the! commitment of a certain class of| insane persons to the State Hospit- | al for the dangerous insane. This| provides that any person whose oe tion after his confinement in the| State’s prison for the felonious kili- | ing of another is such as to jus-; tify the belief that he is possessed | of a homicidal mania may be so com-| mitted,for the protection of the com-/| munity. Another bill provides for | the better observance of Sunday as| a day of rest for railroad employes. | The billto increase the salary of| the adjutant general from $1,600 to! £2,000 was discussed and re-referred | } — l Will Rearrange Congressional on iricts—Mr. Doughton Patriotic. * Raleigh News and Observer, 14th. ®s ive The two committees on congres-| sional apportionment, at a meeting) heid in the treasurer’s office last | night, adoptea a resolution unani-| mously to redistrict the State with) a view to making every district safe- ly Democratic It was also agreed | to submit the question of grouping | the counties to a caucus of Demo-| erats to be called, if possible, on) Friday night next. This conclusion was reached after but little discussion. All were united in the opinion that ten Dem- ocratic districts can be had. The meeting was called for the purpose} of discussing the Boyden bill to transfer Union into the eighth and Alexander into the ninth, but it at once developed that the entire State | should be redistricted. It was as-| serted by several parties who have’ made the matter a study for months | that an arrangement can be made whereby every Congressman will be retained in the district which he now represents. , The feature of the meeting was the brief speech of Congressman- elect Doughton, who said that, in case it is found that such an ar-| rangement cannot be made,he want- ed it to be understood that he would In he wise oppose being placed in a} district. with another member. He} would sacrifice every political am-| bition he has for the good of the} party. Some one had suggested tha | portions of the fifth and eighth be} united so as to include Doughton and Major Stedman in the same | district. Mr. Doughton assured the! eommittee that, if that was deemed advisable, he would gladly acquiesce | and, furthermore, leave the field| eo | A Counterpane Mace 130 ears Ago To the Editor of The Landmark: | Your correspondents’ letters about | the old fancy quilts have brought! to light another old relic along this | line—a white counterpane now | vewned oy Mrs. Sarah Renshaw, of | River Hili The cotton of which this counter. | pane was made was ginned, carded | spun and woven by hand. After be-| ing woven the counterpane was coy- ered by embroidery and drawn work | of most beautiful patterns. Around} the borders runs tliree vines, par- | allel, of various kinds. In the cen- ter is an eagle, an owl and another small bird,and a beautiful flower pot filled with flowers of various kinds. The maker of this counterpane | was Miss Anna Dyson, of Iredell | county, a great aunt of Mrs. Ren- shaw. She died in 1826 at the age of. 76 years, which would make the date of her birth in 1750, and she Made the counterpane at about the age of 30 years. This shows that it is about 130 years old. This is a beautiful and lovely piece of work for that time and “ompares favorably with anything that can be shown now in this pro- gressive age of embroidery work. J. B. PARKS. River.

Mr. Neal It has been suggested to The Landmark that the question of a do» law for Iredell be submitted to the’ people along with the .good roads bond proposition. The Land- mark is very much in favor of a dog law but-we can’t have all the good things at once. Let’s first provide for good roads and then go after the dogs and other things that need regulating. Too much mixing might defeat all the good things desired. This does not mean, however, that the legislators should not pass a dog law for Iredell, That is what they should do, for sentiment is strong for “it; but ‘Tre Landmark does not think it wise to compli- | the State Hospital at Morganton to HOKE OOUNTY 1S OREATED Whe: Bill Finally Passes Legislature —Tui _ Anti-Trust Bill— iia Discussed —tLegislative Proceedings... In the House Tuesday bills were introduced: To change the name of the Murphy Memorial State Hospi- a; on amend the Revisal with reference to shooting at and throw- ing at trains; to prohibit the sale or handling of intoxicating by.-anyclub or association. Bills passed: To amend the Revi- sal, making cohabitation in North Carolina after a bigamous marriage in another State a felony; to build tween Rowan and Davidson coun- ties;’ to allow cities and towns to amend their own charters. The five-year separation divorce ‘bill, coming up as a 6 order, Mr. Richardson, of Rutherfordton, its patron, stated that the bill was introduced by request, ‘and that he would prefer that consideration of it be deferred until later in the week. It was so ordered.” The Spainhour bill to appropriate half.a million dollars afinually from the State Treasury to extend the term of public schools from four months to six months, being called in regular order, on’ the favorable committee calendar reports, was the ‘occasion of a sensational speech from Mr. Spainhour, of Burke, who arraigned all other applicants for help from the State by stressing the point that first and above all things else, the free school terms should be extended, and that teach- ers should be paid more, before the numerous applicants for increas¢é of salaries in State, clerical, judi- cial and other positions, should be Attended to. The bill, after a jengthy debate, was referred to the committee on appropriations. In his speech Mr. Spainhour repeated- ly declared he should fight appro- priating a penny to any building un- til the free school children of the State were provided for. The House at a night passed the- bill creating Hoke eounty—by-a—vote-of 56 to 30. The bill had previously passed the Sen- a session te. The Senate passed on its second and third readings the Kent anti- near beer bill by a roll-call vote of 41 to 3. The bill becomes effec- tive July ist. An amendment toal- low the sale of non-intoxicating ci- ders failed by a vote of 16 to 30. Senator Gardner, of Cleveland, submitted a resolution requiring the state Treasurer to furnish to the General Assembly a revised list of the various counties after the mon- eys paid in the treasury by. each from’ public service corporations have been placed to its credit. Sen- ator Gardner said that he had made an investigation of the so- called pauper or deficit counties, aud that many of these would not be in the humiliating column in which Mr. Lacy has placed them, if themoney_hgd been taken into ‘ac- count. His own county, Cléveland, cate the bond issue with a dog law. . The Landmark has mentioned tha the Legislature of Oregon had re- pealed. the whipping-post law . for wife-beaters on the ground that it is a “relic of barbarism.’* The Leg- isiature repealed the law but the law isn’t yet repealed, for the Gov- ernor of Oregon has the veto pow- er—which same the Governor of Korth Carolina should have—and when the act repealing the law was passed to the Oregon Governor— West is his name—he vetoed it and aceompanied the veto with these re- maarks: “While the whipping-post is a rel- ie of barbarism, it is no more bar- baric than wife-beating and I deem it wise to ve on Oregon statute books a barbaric punishment for brutes who fall so low as to strike aud abuse a woman.” Sensible Gov. West! The legis- lators threaten to pass the act over his veto, but if they succeed Be will have done his part. For an officeholder to admit that his office is a sinecure and should be abolished is unusual, but this case is reported from Hackensack, M..J.: : Robert A. Sibbald, who was elect- ed register of Bergen county last fall on a platform which declared that the office was a useless one and should be abolished, has issued a statement to the people of the county, in which he tells them that 10 weeks in office has confirmed the belicf expressed when he was nominated— hat the $6,000 job is a superfluous one. He says he has not been able.to keep himself busy, to say nothing of the $3,000 deputy to whom he is entitled. “The work I have done,” he says, “could easily be done by a $1,200 clerk under the supervision of the county clerk. The deputy and I Graw $9,000 a year for our orna- meutal work in filling these offices. iI hope to have both jobs done away with before we have begun to draw our second year's pay.” Those who believe that offices @hould be provided for the faithful, regardiers of the necessity for the office,will regard Mr.Sibbald as an snemy. —_—_—— Lukewarm water is now used as an anaesthetic in most operations for appendicitis at Johns Hopkins hospital, according to the statement of a surgeon of national repute, gonnected with the institution.

He de- nounced the present classification as a slander on some of the best and most progressive people in the State He asked for the immedi- ate passage of the resolution, but agreed to the suggestion that - it should be referred to a committee until the State Treasurer could be | heard. Senator Baggett, on behalf of the committee which inspected the in- sane asylum at Morganton, submit- ted a report stating thet the in- stitution is conducted in an effi- cient manner and recommending that an appropriation of $200,000 be made for its maintenance. The bill to prohibit the sale of cigarettes in North Carolina gets an unfavorable report. The argu- ment that seemed to sway the com- mittee was that the bill would react against the’ tobacco growers of the State and then fail to accomplist what the advocates of the bill desired to attain. In the House Wednesday Mr. Turlington, of Iredell, introducéd an-anti-trust bill which it is claim- ed will miget the situation. It cod- ifies the present anti-trust law .s0 much ‘criticised as being ineffective; makes sub-section “F” sub-section “G” and makes it read “conspire Or agree” instead of “conspire” only to restrain trade. It gives the Attorney General the power to examine witnesses ‘and prosecute for contempt of ceurt when any re- fuse to testify; places $10,000 fund at the disposal of the Governor with which to pay the expense of working up cases, the Attorney General and the solicitors to prose- eute. All foreign corporations are required to file affidavits July 1 each year that they -have in nowise violated the anti-trust law. Favorable committee reports were made on bills to establish a school cr hospital for the feeble-minded; to provide for the mediéal examina- tion of children at school; to pay solicitors salaries instead of fees. Bills introduced: To create the North Carolina insurance commis- sion; to appoint auditors to exam- ine the accounts of county offi- ers; to pay the debt of the Sol- diers’ Home and appropriate $30,- | 000 for support; to establish home | for widows in Mecklenburg; to es- training school | tablish a manual | for colored youths. | The House refused to concur in \the Senate amendments to the near- beer bill and a conference commit- | tee was appointed. The bill to pay sheriffs a certain |reward for destroying illicit distil- jleries was discussed at length. An effort to exempt Cherokee county, |where it was charged graft was practiced in this connection, failed. | Winaily the bill was amended and | passed. | In the Senate the Dill to ap- Proprtate $1,000,000 for an admin- |istration building wes discussed at length and went over witbout ac- | on Most of the Senators appeared ~|to favor a new building but consid- d the amount too large.

Who, he «asked; will get the benefit of this rem sion of the tariff, the consumer or the flour mills and packing trust? The same ia true with reference to barley. ‘Tnat is to be free untih it goes into the hands of the brewer and then, by a slight process of manufacture it will become. dutia- ble. Likewise rough lumber is ad- mitted free, but as soon as it is run through a planing machine it looks dutiable. He said he did not daubt that the agreemént-—_would benefit the flour mill men and the meat pack- ers, as well as some othér trusts and protected manufacturers upon whose product the Canadian duty is to be reduced, but, he asserted, it was perfectly clear that the farm- er, the lumbermen and the fisher- men would héve to pay the price of these benefits, and that while he wanted to see the manufacturers of this ‘eountry prosper as. much as did anybody, the relative profits of farming and manufacturing were not such as to entitle the manu- facturer to a@k that he be helped at the expeuse of these. producers of raw materials. Colored Jilockader in Wilkes Too mart For the Officers. Winston Sentinel. ; Up in Wilkes county there is an old uegro who, it is alleged, has been engaged in the ‘‘moonshine” business for many —years, but--the revenue officers have never been able to lay Hands on him. It is true that they have demol several piantzs belonging to ‘Sambo, but he elways managed to escape, arrest. “‘He is one of the smooth- est we have ever run up against,” said a member of the field force i the revenue departmnt to a Senti- nel representative a few days ago. This officer told how not long ago two or three field deputies went to the home of the old darkey. They had been assured that he was there. Looking through a window, they caught a glimpse of the man wanted. ““We’ve got him now,” said oue oO the officers. Every door was locked. The old negro’s son-in- law was in the room with him. Sambo began to advise with his as- seciate. tie had little time to for- mulate plans for-escape. “Put this big coat over your head and when the door is opened you run Iike h--,”” whispered the old darkey to his son-in-law,and he obeyed orders. When the door swung open the younger negro flew out and the officers shouted, “There he goes!” and the whole bunch followed in pursuit. After’ ‘a ¥ ; got per- haps half a mile th fttired the fleeing son-in-law. “You can imagine ur surprise when that nigger lifted the coat from his head and we discovered that we had chased the wrong man,” said the cfficer; who explained that it was a trick worked by the father- in-law, “for when we went back to the house the old darkey had slip- ped out another door and skipped —we knew not where.” The officere were out last. week in serrch of the old regro, but they fs''ed to land him. They did find where he had been doing busi- ness-—making illicit whiskey. Col. N. A, Mcbean Dead—Promi- nent and Popular Citizen. Raleigh Dispateh, 15th, to Char- lotte Observer. Col.

The value of Can- ada’s concession of “free cotton seed oi! may be measured by the fact that in the calendar year 1910 we exported tc Canada $1,111,443'0 cotton seed oil, on which she col- lected approximately $195,000 in du ties. The concession is of interest to North Carolina since the manu- facture. of mn seed oil, etc., ranks among her leading half-dozen industries, according to the United States census of manufactures of 1905, which ttates North Car- olina’s output’ of the oil at 6,269,- .062 gallons, valued at $1,600,950. Fresh vegetables and, fruits are made, free by Canada under the agreement, when imported from the United Statés. Her rate upon ‘po tatoes has been 20 cents per bughei, and upon most other vegetables 30 per cent. ad valorem. Upon fresh fruits her general rate has been 2 cents per pound, apples being taxed 40 cents per barrel. During | the year ended March $1, 1910, the | United States shipped to Canada fresh fruits and vegetables aggre- gating $2,137,000 in value, which were taxed more than $500,000 by Canada. Tne removal of all restric- |tive duties by Canada on this class of importations offers a large op- portunity for North Carolina’s. ear- ly potatoes and garden or orchard produce. North Carolina produced | $1,498,000 of potatoes during the| calendar year 1909. | Oysters in any state will be admit | from this country.

Has to Work About Fourteen a Day For $100 Per Year Can't Turn Loose. © Washington Special” to ~ Baltimore, Sun, “5 J. 8. Richardson, postmaster at Delta, La,, thinks he has the worst job in the United States, and Post- master General Hitchcock is of the same opinion, The postmaster at Delta receives a salary of approxi- mately $100 a year for his work of nearly 14 hours a day.’ He cannot resign, being under bond, until his successor is. chosen, and successor ors seem to be .wary of the job. Hours, “and Then again, the office cannot be i changed to one of the second class, as the fourth class of postoffices are based on their receipts. Delta, La., while a fourth class office, cashes more money orders in the course of a year than the av- erage second class office, and the postal. service is: confronted with an embarrassing situation. Money or- ders to the amount of nearly $2,000 a month: are cashed at Delta, and on one day alone no less than 287 orders, valued at $1,043.03, ‘were cashed. This unusual condition was brought abdut through the remoyal of various liquor establishments from Vicksburg, Miss., across the Missisippi river when that State went “dry.” J. 8. Richardson, of Delta, took the position of postmas- ted by Canada free of duty when |? ter several years before the change and when the distilleries removed to his locality money orders began to flow into place in a steady stream, for amounts usually averag- iug about $2 each. Richardson took the office as a side issue to a general merchati- dise business, but after the liq- uor establishments moved in he was gradually forced to give up his business and attend to the money orders. They flowed in so fast that it was necessary for him to buy an adding. machine with money from his own pocket. The Delta liquor men supply Vicksburg and neigh- boring localities, and the postmaster t Delta soon was convinced that the distilleries were supplying the whole United States. He was un- able to purchase a building for his business owing to the high price of land, and a lease costs him in the neighborhood of $400 a year for rental. He was married and had a family to support, and still the mon- ey orders for the “‘crathur”’ poured | in so fast he was forced to work | anywhere from- 10 to 14 hours aj} day cashing orders and auditing | his accounts.

Charlotte Observer. The Torrens system of land titles 'is one whereby the State has a par- ticular piece of land surveyed, then has the title examined by a State’s attorney, and then issues a guaran- teed title in simple form (which may be transferred practically with- out cost) like the stock certificates of a corporation. This certificate, carrying the State’s guarantee, puts a period to all examingtion of the titles and therefore saves expense and simplifies all transactions in land. Originating in New Zealand, the Torrens system has rapidly made headway all over the ‘world, especially in new countries. Ite simplicity and utility are assur- ance that we in North Carolina should adopt it now and shall surely adopt it at no distant date. The question is simply how long we | shall pay the vexing costs of the old |method and still suffer a degree of uncertainty; or how soon we shall gin to save the cost. of having titles examined over and- ever again, jevery time there is a land trangac- tion of any nature. Under the Tor- rens system the new dééd or cer- tificate is instantly transferable for sale or for use as collateral. Its use temporarily for collateral in- volves no publicity, any more than the stock certificate of a cotton mill or any other corporation does. Bankers and building and loan peo- ple want it because it saves costs and simplifies loans on real estate. Farmers want it for the same reas- on and als6 decause of the no-pub- licity feature. The Torrens sys tem inégures the title beyond ques tion, and yet there are ho mort- gages, mortgage records or mortgeg?@ costs. Being purely permissive, it is never compulsory; if anyone would rather keep in the old rut, there is. nothing to hinder him from doing so. These, in brief, are the principal outlines of the Tor- rens system. —_—_—_—_—sXXXX On historic soil with simple but im- pressive ceremonies,a handsome tab- let in memory of Joseph Montford, provisional grand master of Masons for America,was unveiled at Halifax Monday in the presence of the Gov- ernor of North Carolina, prominent Masons end citizens.

Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right treatment is employed. The only way to successfully treat ecatarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the sys- tem, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of resist ing the infection of. consumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty ‘years studied and made eatarrh a specialty, and whose rec- ord was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy ig Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will com- pletely overcome catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we propose to return every penny paid us for the medi- cine in every case where it fails or for any reason does not satisfy the user.

In-the opinion of State Depart- ment officials the revolutionary movement in Mexieo has degenerate into a mere guerrilla warfare, the divided, with each would-be leader acting on his ow initiative and without any commanding figure around whom they may rally. The main concern of the depart- ment at present is that some of these irresponsible clements may fall into ways of mischief and be led into an infringement of the rights ofAmer- jean citizens, which iz one explan- ation of the gutheriug of a consid- erable number of United States troops along the western end of the boundary line between and Atizona on one side and Mex- leo on the other. These troops have a double func- tion to perform. -In the first place, if the disorderiy elements south’ of the line attempt to work any harm to such American interests as are) involved in the construction of the dike which is to govern the dispo- sition Of the witers of the Colora- do river, the American troops may be sent acrosz to guard the prop- erty. This, of course, would only be done with the consent of the Mexican government. The second function of the troops |isg, to execute neutrality lawsfwhich |involves not only the prevention of the organization on American goil of hostile expeditions against Mexi- co, but also the “internement” of any of the insurrectos who are driv- | en across the line by the Mexican | government troops and seek to re- |turn to Mexico to renew their cam- | paign against the government. While! jthe neutrality laws do not specifi- | cally mention this “internement” as lobligatory upon the United States, }it is said at the State Department) jthat such an obligation does exist | junder the internationa] rules of} jlaw. In brief, these rules require jthat a defeated army or part of} jan army seeking refuge within the! \territory of a neutral power must be jdisarmed and detained until jelose of hostilities. the Rbeematison Aad Blood Diseases. ‘The cnase of rheumatism ts excens uric acid lo the bivod = To cure rbeumatiam this ac) must’ ie etpriled from the aystem iteomatien: +e an toternel dlacame aad tw juttes 2 tBtecaal remedy rpeageeye witt ois aud liotmeots guy case the Ue but thes Will we more cure rbeunttet! than palut ell! change the Over of rotten wood Cures Rbramatiom to Stay Cared.

These buildings are designed to have a ca~ pacity of about one hundred. pa- tients, equally divided between the 6exes, and are to be thoroughly equipped with all modern approved appliances for the treatment and care of the acutely insane, guch as hydrotherapeutic apparatus, om, tricity, ete. This department will not only ian crease the capacity of the hospital-—— and an increase will be absolutely necessary in the near future~-but will enable the medical staff more systematically and efficiently to car- ry on the medical treatment of pa- |tients while they are in the early | stages of disease. Thereby the nursing and dieting of such .cases ean also be improved. It is con- sidered certain that with these fa- cilities a greater number of restora- tions will ensue. |. The economic feature of the plan | becomes evident when we realize that ;every patient who is restored, and {thus saved from drifting into chron- jic insanity, represents to the State the net gain of the cost of maintain- ing ‘him plus his earning capacity on the outside.

Correspondence of The Landmark. Wonder if our legislators are wait- ing for the people to meet and de- mand a dog law like they did at Statesville on the road ques- tion? One hundred years ago it was necessary for people to keep dogs to chase the wild animals and guard the home, the country being sparse- ly settled at that time, and game of allkinds plentiful made hunting profitable. Stock ran at large in those days and often intruded upon neighbors, and dogs were necessa- ry to drive them away. But the wild beasts of the forest are gone; game neprly all gone. We have stock law now, the country thickly Settled, and the dog is no longer needed for a guard. In. those days a mad dog was sél- dom ever heard of, but since the advent of the bird dog it is a com- mon report to hear of a dog going through the country biting stock and other dogs and often people. So common is it the case that the Leg- istature two years ago provided that indigent persons could be treated at the expense of the State; and the records show that as high ia -°12 patients have been received at the institution in one day. A few want to keep dogs for the chase, others want the bird dog, but the majority of the dogs be- long to no particular breed and many who own this class are re- turned as insolvents, not able to pay their tax, while if they had kept a hog in the place of the dog “it would nave paid the tax. Many of this class half feed the dog and it has to prowl around at night and get its living off the neighbors by breaking up hens’ nests, tear- ing up chicken coops, outhouses, etc. Some of the people who own these dogs im not to be able to buy tir children the school books they need, but they can keep a dog. The remedy for all this trouble is a law prohibiting al) dogs from running at large, except when the owner is with them. It is not expeusive to enclose a lot with wire and the lot . May be cul- tivated all the timd This is the only way to stop the spread of hy- drophobia end get the Scare out of Mothers and gmali children, who have been so frightened by a mad dog passing by or near a school ae to almost treak it up for atime. Give us this law and we will soon have more birds and sheep and Mad dogs wili soon be gone. The Ground Hog Came Out and Stayed Out. J. A.

They were uccompanied to north Iredell by Dep- uty Sheriff Ward. High Point Dispatch,18th, to Char- lotte Observer. Mose Speaks, a resident of Clo- verdale, a suburb south of _ this city,committed this morning what is considered the most dastardly crime in the history of High Point. About 5 o’clock he arose, went to the home of his son-in-law, Will Miller, about three blocks away, awoke him and told him that he . Speaks, had a let- ter for Miller. While Miller was coven vos 0 the position of put- ng on shoes, Speaks spra upon him with a large butcher knife end stabbed him a number of times, once between the eighth rib, once on the right hip and once on the right arm. The severed the left half of the lung. [Miller died at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.—The Landmark. ] From Miller’s home, Speaks went directly to his own house, entered where his. wife and one son were eating breakfast, sprang upon his wife and stabbed her three times in the right breast, killing her al- most ingtantly. The son was so completely shocked at the crime that he made no attempt to over- power his father. Leaving the house, he was heard to say he was going over to the silk mili, where one of his daugh- ters was*at work, to kill her.. It is Said Speaks went to the silk mill and called for his daughter, but was not permitted to see her. B the time the officers could be noti- fied and get to the scene, Speaks had made his escape. No reason is advanced , @eed of. the o than that his life has been one of mystery to all who knew him. For a number of years he has been considered unbalanced mentally and has been of a roving disposition, never staying at home with bis fam- ily. About two years ago he wan- dered up into the State of Massa- chusetts, where he was committed to an insane asylum near Boston, but after keeping him there for some time the institution got in touch with his family and agreed to release him if they would take care of him. This they agreed to do, but he gave the family more or less trouble all the time. His ac- tions around this city for the past few years were those of a person who would be considered weak- minded. but harmless, At one time he did get rather desperate and the officers here had him commit- ted to the county jail at Greensboro. He was later released with the prom- ise that the family would take care of him. The Speaks family came here about six years ago from unty and with the excep father they are consid- dod, honest, hard-working class of people. The family is com- posed. of eight children, five boys and three girls, most of them being grown and married. ‘Will Miller, the Bon-in-law of Mose Speaks, is a son.of.Mr..L. D. Miller, who lives a tew miles south of this city. He was employed by the Dixie Milling Company and bears a good reputa- tion. While a number of people here advance the theory that Mose Speak is crazy, giving this as the reason firet stab + ner, of Statesville, was counsel against Speaks in* the land suit and last Friday morning, the. day before the High Point. murder, Speaks appeared at the office: of Mr. Turner, brought up the land cuse, insisted that Mr. Turner get the land for him and was rather threatening toward Mr. Turner. The latter talked quietly to Speaks and he went away. Speaks also called at the home of, Judge Coble, remind- ed him that he was the judge who signed the decree in the land case and said he wanted to serve notice that if the folks now on the land didn’t get off they would “go off rough.” Judge Coble had no recol- lection of the land suit but told Speaks that whatever his action in the case it had now passed out of his hands. He asked Speaks sever- al questions and from his question- ing found that he was the same man who called at District Attorney Holton’s home in Winton last De- cember. Mr. Holton was not at home and Speaks did nothing out of the way at the home, but he made threats indirectly against Holton while talking to others. He was quiet in his talk to Judge Coble but talked threateningly to. others. He seemed to think that Judge Co- ble and Mr. Turner-could place him tn possession of his land if they would. direct in High Point. eee cee Death of a Missionary in Korea. Miss Lucile Pitts, stenographer for J. K. Morrison & Sons’ Compa- ny, received notice Friday night of the death of her sister,Miss May Pitts, which occurred at Chunji, Ko- rea, on the 14th. As a resuit of the message Miss Pitts went to her heme in Cancord Saturday. The mes gage gave no details and none will probably be learned until a letter is received from . Miss May Pitts was a professional nurse and was etgaged in mission work » ty, being attach- ed to a ont hospital ae Chun ji. She went to the foréign field last July as a missionary from the- id nouncement of Miss Pitts’ death war a great shock to her friends, as a letter from her on Sunday,the 11th, stated that she was well, happy and contented. Continuing, the Trib: une says: “Before going to Korea Miss Pitts was a trained nurse and made her home here and in Charlotte. At the time of her departure she stood in the front rank of her profession iri North Carolina and her services were constantly in demand. She was a lady of the highest Christia: character and many homes in this section have been blessed and made happier in which she exercised th« offices of her profession. “Miss Pitts was 34 years of age and was a native of this city. She is survived by her father, "Squire C, A. Pitts, two sisters, _Mrs.. N, F. Yorke, of this city, and Miss Lucile Pitts .of Statesville, and three brothers, Mesars.

Pe wi t s Sn Se mo e LIGHT ON “PAUPER" COUNTIES. | aside from this fact,.we say, the ‘The counties of the State, that thave been listed in the so-called pauper class-owe thanks to Senator Mardner, of Cleveland. Taking up “the defence of his -own—county, in the State Senate a few days ago, the Cleveland Senator showed that if these so-called pauper counties were given credit for the public ‘wervice corporation taxes and the worporate excess taxes which they . Pay. direct to the State Treasury, many of them will be found to have paid into the State Treasury more wmoney than they draw out, instead @f£ drawing more money from the Treasury than they .pay in, as. is alleged. These ao-called pauper counties, it will be recalled, are those which, under the showing of the Statq Treasurer, draw from the Treasury for pensions, for support of their indigent citizens in the State Hos- pitals and other public institutions, aud from the appropriation for achools, more money than they pay in. Senator Gardner shows that Iredell, ‘for tustance, which is ered- ited with being short on’ this ac- count $313.66, ‘if given credit for “ eorporation taxes, which amount to $6,636.86, would have a surplus ef $5,323.20. While it could be gaid that thes: counties should not be held at fau't on account of the number of pexsioners within their bounds, or the number of inmates in the State institutions, conditions for which they are clearly not to blame, it has been charged that the deficiency was due to the fact that these coutties regligently or wilful- dy undervalued property for taxation and for this reason did not pay their just proportion of taxes. From this viewpoiiit The Landmark was not disposed to offer a defence for Iredell e But Senator Gardner has gone inte this matter and makes a stronger showing for some of the deficit counties._In Bertie county, -which, is credited with an excess of $5,- 701.95, the average taxable value of land is $5.¢% per acre. Cleveland, which is credited with a deficit of $2,584.09, aseesves land for taxation |B1S “home in Rockingham Friday, at au average of $11.39, or nearly twice as much as Bertie,.Edgecombe, a so-called sarplus county in the gum ct $38,749.11, values land for taxation at $742; and Mecklenburg, which boasts much of its surplus of $26,416.20, hus an average value of only $9.33 per acre. The small county of Lincoln, advertised aa, a pauper to the extent of $4,734.77, values laud for taxation: at $11.06 per acre. On this showing it will be observed that some of the so-call- ed pauper counties are paying more taxes dn land than some of the 6o- called surplus ccunties, and whatev- er else may be charged against them they: canugt be criticised for failure to properly assess land for taxation. Senator Garduer’s showing un- questionably puts another face on this much discussed question. Since the above was written it is learned that Senator Long, of Ire- Gell, Was associated with Mr. Gard- mer in making this showing which places many of the so-called pauper counties in the surplus class and is entitled to credit for this work along with Mr.Gardner. The resolu- tion requiring the State Treasurer to credit the counties with cor- Poration taxes paid direct to th State Treasurer was referred to a committee to allow State Treasurer Lacy to be heard. It ig understood that the State Treasurer, who is,re- @poosible for the classification Which places so many counties in the pauper class, has admitted that the credits demanded are proper and offers no objection to the pass- age of the resolution. In making the comparison the State Treas- urer~has heretofore ¢redited only the taxes collected and paid in by the sheriffs and has given no cred its for corporation taxes paid direc to him. On the hatter " showing dredell is entitled to the following credits: Railroad taxes, banks, $805.78; building ana loan associations, cess, $312.22, making a total of $65,- 636.86. $313.66 we have a surplus of $5, 323.19.

North Carolina Senators received scores of telegrams today from persons identified with cotton mill interests In the State, urging them to oppose the Scott anti-option bill, designed to prohibit dealing in con- tracts for, future delivery of cot- ton, where there is no intention to deliver. The weight of, opinion is that these mill owners may calm their fears. The parliamentary status of the bill is rather interesting, since it oc- cup‘cs a place on the calendar, and may be called up whenever any tin- terested Senator finds an opening, | but nevertheless the view is gen ly taken that there is little chance its passage at this time. Senator Simmons, who favors the méasuré, shares this opinion. Congressman Page is among the Nortn Carolina members who feel that mill owners are unnecessarily alarmed. He not. only thinks that such legislation would have a salu- tary effect morally, but is persuad- ed that at most such a law as contemplated would occasion only a temporary embarrassment in a busi- nes way. 4 Two Tragedies in Harnett County.

Southern Railway to Pay Dividend and Make Improvements. New York Dispatch, 17th. The first dividend to be paid on the preferred stock of the Southern Rail- way since October of 1907 is to be dis- tributed on April 24, the directors ‘of the road having declared a dividend of 1 per cent. today. The payment is made for nospecific period and President Finley said that it was the intention of the m e- ment to maintain payments in the future, although no information was obtainable as to what yearly rate was contemplated. Extensive improvements, including expansion of freight facilities at im- rtant points, were authorized by the rd, and the president was empow- ered to take up the question te urchase of additional rollirig stock: r. Finley said that since details of the improvement plans had not been com- pleted, he was not in a position to — at what points changes would be made, (testament, Dignity Too Expensive at $10,000 the Year. Washington Dispatch, 16th. The qualifications that are nec- essary in one who is to fill the Post of secretary to the President were discussed in the House today in connection with the item in the legislative, executive and judicial ap propriation bill fixing the salary of that official. The Senate had thought $19,000 no more’ than ade- quate compensation, but the House, by a vote of 130 to 52, declined to concur, holding that $6,000, the pre ent salary, is ample. The increase was urged as a means of lending dignity to the office. This aroused the ire of several members; who asked if the office of secrétary to the President demanded any more tact, ability or discretion than that of Senator, Representative “or cir- cult judge, all of which have sala- ries ot less than $10,000 attached. === Seven Lose Their Lives in a Fire.

Wiihem Norris’ laughing musi- cal sensation, ‘‘My Cinderella Girl,” which comes to Statesville Theatre ou Thursday night, February 234, was written, as to book, by Rich- acd Walton Tully, the author of “The Rose of the Rancho,” a play that elevated Frances Starr to star- dom. The music was wriften by William Frederick Peters, composer of the score of “The Mayor of To- kio,” in which Richard Carle won 80 much success. The chorus num- bers were originated and staged by Gus Sohlke, one of the best known producers of chorus numbers in America. The ‘pleece was staged by William Norris. ‘My Cinderella Girl’ had a run of 300 nights in Chicaevo, where it kept large crowds convulsed with laughter for a year. The farce has to do with college ‘fe, and with baseball. The scenes are laid about Siwash College, and the central figure is Tom Harring- tun, a young student who has base- ballitia, out whose father is strenu- ously opposed to baseball, claiming that it {- uncouth and even degrad- ing. The young man, despite his stern parent’s objection, is a star Player on the team, and when the father comes-to visit him at cohege; is put to all sorts of trouble to keep his father from knowing that he is on the Siwash team. By hook and crook, and through the aid of his fellow students, the father is hoodwinked, and by dint of much prevarication, the young man gets by with his deception and inciden- tally keeps the audience convulsed =o laughter from beginning to end. There are numerous quaint char- acters in the Piece,among the stu- dents as wel! as among the faculty, and they keep the fun fast and fu- rious al! the time. There is Mrs, Pinney, the boarding-house keeper, who iz a host in herself, and there are odd types of students who add to the hilarity. In addition to a complete plot full of ludicrous sit- uations, the piece offers a dozen good musical numbers and they are Sung by a prize beauty chorus, The vroduction ig q handsome one, and the compahy comprises well known metropolitan players who are seen Re WARNING!

ALLISON, * It Took Place at the Home of His , in the Edge of Yadkin-—— Several different, stories of the circumstances surrounding the cap- ture of Mose Speaks have gone the rounds. Deputy Sheriff Ward, who returned Tuesday night from .Yad- ‘Kinville, where he went Monday night with Chief of Police Ridge and Mr. Miller, of High Point, who came here in search of the murder- er, says that Speake was captured at the home of bis brother, Arch. Speaks, in the edge of Yadkin county, only a short distance from the homes of Messrs. Mart. and W. Cc. Myers, whom Speaks ‘had sworn he was going to kill. The arrest s made by Messrs. W. A. and J. . Gregory, who were accompanied by Mr. W. C.° Myers and others, and in the struggle with Speaks both. Gregorys were badly cut, W. A. Gregory's injuries being very se- rious. Whep it was learned that Speaks was héaded tor hisold home com- munity Sheriff Deaton and Deputy Ward notified -all persons in north Iredell who could be reached by tele- phone and messengers were sent to warn the Messrs. Myers of Speaks’ intention. Posees of officers and citizens of both Iredell and Yadkin were organized and began a search for Speaks Sunday evening; which search continued until his capture. Monday afternoon it was learned that Speaks had spent the night at a house near Yadkinville and that evening it was found that he had gote to the home of his brother, Arch. Speaks, which is in the edge of Yadkin, within a few miles, of the home of the Messrs. Myers. Mr. W. C. Myers, who was armed with a pistol, and the Messrs. Greg- ory, who cairried clubs, accompa- nied by several other residents of that section, went to the Speaks home about 10 o’clock to make the arrest. There was no light in the house and everything seemed quiet. While the other members of the party remained on guard Mr. Myets and the Mesers. Gregory went ‘to the door of the houge, knocked sev- eral times and then called for Speaks.

Miller and told him he had a letter tor him. He was admitted to the house abd Miller, who was putting on his clothes, asked him to have some breakfast. He replied that he had had breakfast and was.on the way up town to do some work. Mil- ler had tied one shoe and was jean-. ing over in the act of tying the oth- ér, when Speaks pounced upon him w'th a butcher knife and before he eould defend: himself had literally cut him to pieces. This ts the ver- sion that Will Miller,gave his broth- er while at the hospital. As soon as Speaks cut Miller he returned tmmediately to his home —for according to the statement of his son he returned to the house in about half an hour—and finding Mrs. Speaks still in the kitchen he, without saying a word, caught her by the wrist and jerking her under his arw, stabbed her five times in the breast and on the side with the same large knife which tre had only a few minutes before wounded Will Miller,’ his son-in4daw. Mrs. Speaks fell to the floor crying out “I am dying,” and expired in a few minutes. The son, Isham, was He called. | | provements——water, lights, sewerage | quired. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911.

Replacing Kestler Wooden Bridge | With Steel. Within the next few days the work of replacing the old Kest- ler railroad bridge,.on the Charlotte road south of town,with a handsome steel structure will be resumed and it is the purpose of the builders to push the work to completion. The concrete: foundations for the new bridge ‘were put in some time ago but there has been nothing done for several months. During the past few days fifteen cars of steel for the bridge have arrived here and some of the men who will do the work came in yesterday. Twenty-five mote cars laden with the heavy met- al are en route and should arrive soon. Two cars are required to bear the weight of some of the latge beams. The Kestler bridge is one of the highest and longest in the coun- try and the building of the new structure is quite a big undertak- ing.

The newspspers would of course ®bject to aa increase of postage and as being somewhat in the same boat it hardly becomes the newspapers to take sides against the niagazines. The Landmark 1s unable at this time to see any great objection to the in- @rease. The magazines have a low Subscription price and a very high ad. rate; and everything considered it does not seem unreasonable, un- @er the circumstances, to levy a special rate oa the ad. sections. Referring to the how! of the mag- azine publishers, the Richmond Times-Dispatch makes these inter- esting observations: Why sould the government give @ bounty in the way of a low rate of postage to the magazines? What Charles Edwin » Burdette, D this city, has lived under the #us- picion’ that he was a hypocrite and a thief. In his boyhood, while he was registry clerk of the. Peoria (11.) postoffice, $3,500 myeterious- ly disappeared, and he was thought to have taken it. Mr. Burdette became a missiona- ry and labored among the heathen of the: Far Bast for 20 years, All uabe. God would clear him of a charge of which he was innocent. And just the other day his prayer was an: swered, the truth wes discovered, and the tragic shadow was. swept from his life. : tu the early seyenties Burdette was employd as registry clerk in the Peoria pogtoffice,-of which Genera} as a commander of Illinoi#volun- teers in the civil war,was postmaster John Comstock, a wealthy real-es- tate man,appeared one day at young Burdette’s window. He announced that he wished to send $3,500 in twelve registered lettera to clients in Nebraska and Dakota. ' Burdette registered them in the customary way and gave Comstock a receipt. Then he, placed all twelve envel- cpes in one large envelope of thick heavy paper. This he _. carefully placed at the bottom of a mail bag in which the morning’s mail was to be sent off by the next train. On top of the envelope he threw the unregisterd mail. On top-of the un- registered mail he placed his regis- try book. Then he locked and seal- ec the sack. . The route agent found the en tries in Burdette’s. registry — book, but when he emptied the mail bag he found no registered nvelope. Therefore he did not sign his name in the book. There was much angry talk be- itween the two young men. The |route agent insisted that he had not | received the envelope and refused to sign for it. When Comstock learned that .the money had not reached its destina- tion ne became furious. He _ pro- claimed he had been robbed.

Fletcher Lassiter, the “‘Hermit of Lake Drummond,” is dead, aged 60 yeart. Mr. Lassiter had spent néar- ly all of his life in the fastnesses of the dismal swamp. He lived alotie in comfortable little bungalow. Som” time ago the “Hermit” was taken ill, and they brought him up among,the highlands to die among relatives. The jungles of the swamp were as home to the “Hrmit’ and the beasts that. prowled by night were his companions. Mr. Lassiter. loved the simple life and while on his death bed he would smile ana look reminiscent as he apparently heard a call from the wild. The “Hermit” was known. to hundreds,if not thousands of sportsmen through out ‘his section, as well as by those who frequently came from the North. He was an expert fisherman,a pleas- jart companion, and he was wise in |the ways of the woods. During the final illness many a choice delicacy was sent to the “Hermit” by his friends from a distance. To make known a want was to have it grat- ‘fied. They buried him Saturday at the cld Riddick .Lassiter homestead. ote W. W..

Julian, secretary of the North Carolitia Anti-Tuberculosis Society, and one of the best known Physicians .of the State, is the de- fendant in a efvil action that has pbeen begun by Arthur T. Peace, a well-known citizen of this city, The complatat of the summons’ al- leges improper conduct on the part of the defendant while attending contains an allegation of malprac- tice and a prayer thiat the license of Dr.Julian ag a practitioner be re- voked.

The allegations of the complaint are based on his alleged conduct while attending Mrs. Peace, the details of the specialized acts being as sickening and repulsive as ever characterized the atrocities of mediaval savagery. Mrs. Peace was iil about three weeks, Dr. Julian being called in ‘rom the first.

The intelligent farmers of America know thai the agricultural products of Canada are inconsider- able when compared with the agri- cultural products of the United States. To use a common phrase, they do not constitute a drop in the. bucket. “There is a tariff of 25 cents a bushel on wheat, and one good, healthy man with a good appetite can, come. very near eating all the wheat imported into the United States in 12 months. There is a tariff of 15 cents a bushel on corn, and yet you can raise more’ corn’ on a farm of 400 acres in Missouri tha is imported into the United States ina year. ‘nder the Dingley. bill the tariff on corz was 25 cents a bushel.

The Legislature has passed a local option bill to supplant the State- wide bill. The cities resisted pro- hibition, a large negro population was almost solid’ against it and public sentiment could not sustain it.

The Legislature Should Deal With the Clubs, Charity and Children. We do not see how the Legisla- ture can consistently knock out the near-beer joints without doing as much for those clubé that dispense booze to their members albeit in genteel fashion. A near-beer den is a barroom for the tough element; a club with a locker attachment is a barroom for the higher classes. If it is wrong to run a near-beer ga- loon it is worse to run a club for the sale or dispensing of liquor. The More intelligent a man is the less excuse he has for violating the law and every club that handles liquors is a violator of the spirit if not the letter of the prohibition law confess that so far as we are con- cerned we are more anxious to see this Legislature put the clubs out of the liquor business than we are |tinctign in the civil warand prominent to see the near-beer joints destroy- |in the Confederate veterans’ organi- ed.

A States- ville man who passed there recent+ ly says another Statesville man got off the train and during the stop went to the place and returned with four quarts. If he was a club member and was simply getting his own he evidently had a liberal sup- ply on deposit. If the concern has only the ordinary club features, which simply permit members to keep their own liquor on deposit at the place, it is passing strange that so many people who live 10 and 15 miles, and more, distant buy liquor and place it there and then go and carry it away. This is not the method of procedure, of course. There must be some extra induce- mect and it’s up to law officers to find out what it is. The Landmark doesn’t know who runs the place, and has no per- goual knowledge that liquor is ille- gally dispensed. But liquor is com- ing away from thére in such quan- tities that the place could hardly be more demoralizing if an open bar- room was in operation, and it is hard to believe that this distribution is being made under color of law. It is tne manifest duty of the offi- cera of the law to investigate the Barber place, and if the local offi- cers in Rowan county do not give it attention Solicitor Hammer should make it his business to see what is doing there. He should have no trouble in getting names of people who go there and get booze and he ean ask them about it. The drastic anti-cigarette law in Minnesota, is to be repealed, be- cause, after two years’ trial, it made mo appreciable difference in the mumber of cigarettes consumed in - the State. The Philadelphia Press fensibly observes that ‘personal persuasion will go further in promot- ing. reforms of the character con- templatca: by anti-cigarette laws than any legislation which may be @evised.. Usually the statutes are found to be unenforceable.”—Char- lotte Chronicle. _ That argument sounds familiar, for some of us used to make it against the abolition of the liquor traftic and honestly believed it. But we have lived to see that same ar- gument demolished in the liquor traffic and it takes no argument to @how that a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of cigar- ettes could be more easily enforced than the prohibition law. The truth fe, the thing that saves the cigat- ette—an abominable, poisonous thing for which not one good word @an be said—in North Carolina is the cigarette trust and the influence its money has bought. —_—_——_ Usually some doubt attaches to the age of people who claim to be 100 years oid and more. There are genuine instances of such longevity of course, but more than often there is no record and the statement of the age is guesswork. For years the Charlotte papers exploited old man Henry Perminter as one who had passed the century mark and there was a fresh outburst when he died the other day, his age being given as 107, . Perminter was a na- tive of Anson county and the Wadesboro Messenger says that an old man who knew Perminter from childhood said before his death, five vears ago, that Perminter’s age was about 90. And there you are. eines Referring to the case of Moses Speaks, the Winston Sentinel says he will of course plead insanity and will bave t be sent t6 the criminal ingane department of the State pris- on, upon which the Sentinel offers this suggestion: The court ought to pass a sen- tence !ike Judge Schenck did in Lin- eoln county when he was on the bench. A man who had killed his wife was adjudged insane and Judge Schenck sent him, to the asylum, with the proviso if he ever recover- ed he was to be taken out and hanged. The man didn’t recover, but he escaped from the asylum. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_——________. Land Deal in South Iredell. Mooresville Enterprise.

Thursday, Practically House’ as It Came ‘——Flood of second reading the bill increasing the allowance for expenses of Su- perior Court judges from $250 to $760 per annum, ‘Their salaries will remain as at present, $3,250; making a total of $4,000. The pension bill, presented by Chairman Boyden, of the pensions committee, pgased its second read- ing without a dissenting vote,: An amendment offered by Senator Lon- don, to strike out the provision ex- tending the marriage limit from 1868 to 1870, was adopted. The bill authorizes an. expenditure ‘for pensions approximating ‘$704,000, Bach class is raised $5 to $6 per apita except the fourth, which is dnoreased from $26 per annum to $36, The London amendment, whict prohibits many widows, will have the effect, it is understood, of re- ducing the appropriation to some- thing like $650,000. : Among the bills introduced was one to make owners of fowls respon sible for damages, ¢ In the House numerous bills were introduced and many were passed, none of general interest, When the revenue bill was con- sidered an attempt to increase the tax on manufacturers of cigarettes and retail dealers in cigarettes was defeated, but the tax on manufac- turers was later increased:from $1,- 000 to $2,000. Section 75 was amended so as to relieve Confeder- ate veterans of the tax imposed on spectacle peddlers. The considera- tion of the revenue bill was com- pleted, it passed third reading and was sent to the Senate. Cutting Out: Petticoats Has Hurt Cotton Goods Trade. Charlotte Chronicle. “I’m very old-fashioned,” said the charming young matron. “I wear petticoats and love my husband.” It is these who do not wear petticoats who are-charged—-with- ruining —-the dry goods trade. It was au. able distributor of white cotton goods who was talking at the Selwyn. “Formerly,” he said, “a woman would wear two or three articles of cotton underwear. Now she wears the fig leaf with one silk or near-silk petticoat and one hobble skirt. A modern fashion woman is sure leaving cotton cloth to the hea- then. | Figure it up if you like and see what it all means. There are about 30,000.000 women and girls in the United States. Curtail their consumption of cotton goods by five yarfs apiece. This average is not too much, I think. It means leav- ing 150,000,000 yards of cotton goodd on the merchants’ counters.” “My wife,” continued the orator, “‘don’t use as much petticoat stuff as she used to do by 40 or 50 yards a year. We mill men and dry goods distributors" must pray for the re- turn of the good old way where wives love their husbands and wear petticoats.’’ Dis SSS ee Canse For Divorce in Kansas City. Richmond Times-Dispatch. More than 200 divorces have been granted this year in Kansas City, and before the present term of the court ends, it is expected that anoth er hundred will be added to this amazing record. One wife obteined a divorce from her husband use he drank a bottle of beer at a musi- cale, another secured her freedom because her husband took a bun with him to.a church “social,” and still another had her bonds broken becausé her husband rooted against the home teem. We have never un- derstood why any woman should mar. ry the average Kansas City man and it would look as if they all make mistakes when they do. The case against the man with a bottle of beer, and the case of the man with the bun looks very trifling at this distance and should have been thrown out by the court; but the of- fense of thc fellow who rooted severest. treatment. Besides being devrived of his wife, he should have been sentenced to at least 12 years ‘, solitary confinement. Inter-State Commission Vetoes In- crease in Freight Rates. Washington Dispatch, 23d.

Proposed advafces in class freight rates in official classification ferri- tory, aggregating among all the rail- ways in the territory approximately $27,000,000 a year, were disapprov- ed by the commission. . In the case ihvolving the increas- es by the railro&ide in Western trunk line territory the commission also declined to approve the ” proposed advances in commodity rates. The carriers in both cases are re- quired to cancel, on or before March 10, their advanced tariffs and re- store their former rates, which are the rates now in effect. requirement be not complied with, the commiss'on will issue a formal order suspending the proposed ad- vances and putting into effect the existing rates for at least two years.

Willams’ Indian Pile Ointment will cure Blind- terbury has the least idea of break- iag up the Tables, but that it is only trying to adjust the Word of God to the business conditions of this very energetic age. Cutting down the Fourth Commandment to ‘four words would give the golf players a chanee to make another drive, or the bridge player to take-another trick, while the old-fashioned people would be saying the. rest of the word as it is written in‘ the law. As for the FourthCommandment,which the Dean of Winchester is to boil down, why not cut it out altogeth- er? But in tinkering with the Law, it would be well for the Convoca- tion at Canterbury to refresh their minds as to the conditions under which these Commandments were given thousands of years ago to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Lord came unto him in a thick cloud so that. the people might hear Him when He spoke, and believe Him forever,after theCommandments had been delivered, which were to be a law unto the people so long as the world shall stand. These Ten Commandments which “have always been esteemed as_ the mvust precious rule of life, and are the basis of all Christian —legisla- tion,” are now under consideration in one of the Courts of the Lord for amendment and revision. There Uzzah, one of the sons of Abin- adab, who was attending the Ark ot God on its way to Zion «and how, when putting forth his hand to steady it as it was passing over the threshing floor of Nachon “the anger of the Lord against Uzzah; and Godemote him t»ere for his error; and there he dicd by the Ark of God.” The Dean of Winchester will also find in the last chapter of the Book of Revela- tion this warning: “If any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the Holy City, which was written in this Book.” Why should there be any attempt cation or conventicle or other body, composed largely of indifferent scholars, to meddle with the work of the. Almighty? Why not cut down some of the ceremonies of the Church. -itself—the .. singing, the praying, the preaching, and let the only thing that is fn it all worth while stand as it was made by the Lord God Almighty? Se A Pivuiber’s Elevation in Prussia. Richmond Times-Dispatch. Emperor William has elevated Harry Plate, a plumber of Hanover, to the dignity of life membershi in the Prussian House of Lords. er attained auch @ position, and it is not as a mere theorizer, but as an active worker at his trade, that he has passed. The upper house of the Prussian ‘Parliament has hitherto consisted exclusively of members of the nobility, great scientists and ed- ucators, pruminent bankers and men of that sort, and the el- evation now of Harry Plate, Plumb- er, to this grea: lawmaking body is one of the most notable events of the day. We have no doubt that the plumber is a far better man than many. of the politicians who have reached the distinction to which he has now been elevated. If his plumbing was good, and his charges were reasonuahiy, the Emperor hag mado no mistake. Discharged Kmploye Charged With Vandalism W. K.

Wrote to home folks a descrip- tion of a trip from Santiago to Buy ends Ayres; which The Landmark is permitted to copy. It is an inter- heating accoudt of a journey through the South American country and is as follows: t.. “We left Santiago December 81st, in the afternoon. We reached Les change trains, Saturday night at 10 o’clock, “Dr. Rice came with us that far and we stayed all night at the hotel, leaving next morning.at 10 o'clock. ‘At'10 again at night we were in Mendoza, having in that time crossed the An- des and done aw hard day’s work looking at the wonderful scenery which crowded upon us every —mo- ment. “We had a steady climb, partly by cog railway, until about 3 o'clock, when we reached the long tunnel. We had passed many steep and rocky mountains, on many of which the snew still clung in the midsummer sin. Just before the tunnel, we passed the Luca Lake, a #mall body of water which seems to have no bottom. On this day it was/a lovely turquoise blue, slight- ly rippled by the wind which blew very hard. ca “We went through the tunnel da eight minutes, traveling rapidly and without inconvenience, as though we did not have half a mile’ of earth above our heads. On the oth- er side we found ourselves In Ar- gentina, at Las Arevas, the rivets flowing in another direction ald quite of another color, and the wind blowing hard from the snowy moun- tains. A dining car was ai there and we hurried to. have tea, as it was then about 4 o'clock. “Soon we were on our downward journey, and the, next thing to see was Mt. Aconcagna, which you may remember is the highest peak in the hemisphere, and seems to bear her honor with much dignity and re- serve, for she is big as well as high, and the grace of repose rests on her snowy shoulders. “Soon after we passed Puente del Luca, where is -a natural ‘ of stone. There is a nice | there in whose windy verandas we saw the guests. It looked quite a Bice place to be now, but one win- ter its owner had to dig in the snow to find it. People come to this Place for baths, as the water con- tains very much carbolic. acid. Soon after this, there was a change in the character of the scenery,for the mountains were of various tints, The prevailing color was red, but there were also mountains of pink, cream and green stone. Great masses of rocky peaks in their soft colors towered on both sides. One notable mass resembles a mammoth cathedrai and the smaller stones in front look like people going up to the church. ~ This group “Les Penitentes.”’ “We strained our eyes in the twi- light as the scenery became more entrancingly beautiful every minute of Mendoza and awoke in the dusty Pampas. All day we journeyed through a level country of wheat fields, herds of cattle and country homes hidden in a clump of trees Otherwise, there were no trees on the pampas. It was very hot. “We are having a good time here —expect to stay three weeks... It is lovely and cool. We arein a suburb but we go into town often. The city is large, huge, with’ lovely shops, and it is to Santiago as the quick to the dead.” ——S————— Appeal to Law to Force Mother ta Receive Her Baby. The Record says that last fall a Young woman, daughter of a promi- nentChatham county family,commit- ted a new-born babe to the care of nurses at the Rescue Home in Greensboro, promising to furnish funds for its uprearing. The child was not healthy, and physicians’ fees for attendance upon it have amounted to close to $100, and oth- er expenses incident to its care amounted to a large bill. The moth- er failed to keep her agreement, making no remittances whatever Last week one of the nurses of the Rescue Home took the child to Chatham. county for the:purpose of delivering it to its. mother. A dep- uty sheriff was notified to meet her at Siler City, to accompany her to the home of the mother.- The offi- cer met her, but when he learned the name of the family involved he lost interest. He told the nurse he would show her the way to the house, but otherwise he would have nothing to do with the case. It is believed the officer notified the people by ‘phone of the coming of the nurse and baby, for when the nurse arrived the young woman had | disappeared and her mother ordered the nurse off the premises. The nurse returned to Greensboro with the baby. A lawyer has been employed and an effort will be made! to force the young woman to take her child. ——————e Crossed Continent to Attend Funer- | al of Dead Ohild. Winston-Salem Dispatch, 23d.

Hach | year since our School was established as a bigh School it has been a most progress. ive one and this year patrons and pupils have taken greater interest than before. In the primary grades Miss Mary Watson is doing excel- lent work with 20 to 25 bright Iit- tle boys and girls. She is especial- ly successful with the phonetic meth- od of teaching reading and it seems to me that instead of the old way of calling words the children are Setting the thought from their read- ng i The successfal efforts of Mr. L.

Thirty-six pupila have been! enrolled in the high school depart- ment this year-—a larger number than usual. Miss Willie White, ihe Principal, says the attendance aver- ages about 32. During my short Stay in that room, the most noticeable thing was the interest manifested by the pupila. in their work. Each one seemed intent on his own iesson and in endeavor to do the work. A literary society has been or- ganized, the object being..to give the childre: confidence in themselves and to develop their power of ex- pression in public. The. meetings are conducted by offigera elected from the class and ~ an interesting programme is usually earried out. The order throughout the echool is good. I did not notice the dead quiet but rather an animated wide- awake interest in the work.

The only change is a trans- fer of Catawba from the ninth to the eighth and a transfer of Wilkes from the eighth to the seventh. The mew county of Avery, made of two counties in the ninth and two in the eighth district, will be attached to the ninth, and the new county of Hoke, madé of portions of Cumber- Jand and Robeson, both in the sixth district, will be transferred to the seventh. The change will, it is be- lieved, make the eighth district eafe- ly Democratic. Catawba was for merly with Iredell in the old sev- nth district and will be welcomed into the eighth. While we are sor- ry to lose the Wilkes Democrats, the loss of the Republican majority in that county will not be regretted, and the seventh district; with the addition of Hoke county, will be amply able to. take care of the Wilkes Republicane without damage to the Democrats.

But the election of Senators by the people is only deferred. The change will come and its defeat today will probably add to its strength in.the future, ' —_—_— : DEMANDS PAYMENT OF BONDS. United States Government Wants Settlement With North and is Asked to Settle Counter Claim. : Thos. Pence, Washington Correspon- dent News and Observer, 25th. The Federal government has some thing like $50,000 worth of the old railroad. bonds compromised by the State of North Carolina at, twenty- five cents on the dollarf’ being of the same clase ‘as those bonds on whic: the State of South Dakota brought suit. : Demand for the payment of the principal, as well as the integest, which it is claimed will total more than $200,000, has been made upon Governor Kitchin by the Secretary of the Treasury. The fact that the Federal govern- ment has in its possession these old North Carolina bonds, and is seek- ig payment on .them, was made own today. It was also disclosed that the Visit of Governor Kitchin and State Treasurer Lacy to Washb- ington this winter was for the pur- pose of reaching some sort of agree- ment with reference to liquidation of the securities in keeping with the policy of the Legislature that ar- ranged for their compromise. Governor Kitchin has indicated his willingness to settle with the government by pdying 40 per cent. of the principal. This is the ar- rangement made by the State with Shaffer Bros. and-other holders of these North Carolina securities. The Secretary of the Treasury sent for Senator Overnian today to discuss the situation and was great- ly surprised to learn that there is a ttle matter of indebtedness on the part of the Federal government to the State of North Carolina. Un- cle Sam is mighty slow pay, but Sen ator Overman informed -Mr. Mac- Veagh that the goverument would have to pay North Carolina before a settlement is reached. The amount due ‘North Carolitia is $44,000: Senator Overman also talked with the United States Treasurer, Lee McClung, who. read him a letter re- céntly received: from Governor Kitch in. infor the Senator that w to ad ,with bim about e settlement of:these bonds. Mr. McCluag told the Senator that since the jon in-the South Dakota case he thought that North Carolina should be required to pay to the government the full amount of both principal a.“ interest on the bonds which the government holds against the State. He said that he had made a formal demand upon the Governor for the payment of the bonds and that in respoiise to that demand the Governor and State Treasurer had visited Washington and conferred with him about the matter and tnat the Governor had proposed to settle the bonds by pay- few days ago, was admi in the sum of $6,000, Commissioner of ‘Insurance 4 do business in this State. daughter of Mra.

President Will Decide March 4 About Extra Session, Washington Dispatch, 24th, to Ral- eigh News aud Observer. The President summoned Speaker- to-be Champ Clark and Representa- House today to consult about the is his purpose to cal] unless the Senate votes on the Canadian treaty. The President informed his Dem ocratic visitors that he will decide on March 4th whether he will call an extra session, which is not ex- pected to begin until about 30 days | @fter the expiration of the Mfe of | the present Congress. | Thirty daye at least are sought | by the Democrats in order that; they may perfect their organiza- | tion, and as such perfection will per-| mit the instant consideration of | legislation which the President will | presemt, the recess sought by the | Democrata is agreeable to him. | This means an extra seasion, if call ed, will begin about April 4th. | not. have much hope for a Senate: vote on reciptocity this session, and ; failing im that, he is determined to | call an extra session. | . Senator Aldrich, the boss of the | Seuvate, is going to return to Wash- ington Monday and Republiqans generally believe that he will smoot out the situation and prevent the | extra session of Congress. Accord- | ing to Democrats, as well as Repub- | ligans, who visit the White House, | Mr. Taft will refuse to make any, | concessions; and the Senate will have to surrender to the President to prevent the extra sesion. Appropriations Bill Passed Congress, Washington Dispatch, 25th. } In -passing the sundry civil bill, | carrying approximately $140,000,- | 00, tonight, the House of Represen- tives made a new record. Never the biggest of- all the supply bills, been put through the Honse in twe@ days under the general rules and without a “gag” of any sort re- sorted to. This faet is taken as another evidence that the House ‘is doing all it can to avoid an extré session and is anxious to get the lagt of the appropriation bills in th hands of the Senate in ample time to permit-of their consideration. Only the general deficiency bill re- mains to be passed by the House. Constituting what is believed to be another new record, the House pass- ed $67,000,000 of the total in the sundry civi) bill by ‘‘unarimous con+ sent.” Of this amount the public building items, aggregating more than $21,000,000, were adopted with out being read by the clerk. Under a blistering fire of con- demnation from House international peace theorists, the preliminary ap- propriation for the fortification of the Panama canal by the United ident Taft, tonight passed the House by the decisive vote of 123 to 8. The money allowed for this pur- pose is $3,000,000 of the total of $11,000,000 which’ guch-fortification are to cost under the reviked plans of the general army and navy board of experts, appointed by President Taft. Both the President and Colo- nel Goethals,éngineer of the camal, have announced that the work of for- tification shall be pushed to early completion. It will begin as soon a the muney becomes available Janu ary 1. Colonel Goethals proposes to have the canal fortified by Sep- tember 1, 1915. Former Statesville People at Le noir. 4 Lenoir News.

Allison, white, aoe, the murder of Floyd MeGhee in Asheville last year, gave out “the following statement ‘the day befdre his death: . - “TL desire to thank the officers and guards-of-the prison far the great kindness shown me while un- dex their care; especially. Mr. K. B. Ewing, who has been as kind as ene could be. His position is cell- block steward. Warden T P. gale has been ali I could ask, having treated me well. .I surely appreci- ate all kiudneas shown me “while here. I fali to find words: to ex- press my appreciation, I can truly Say that the kind treatment’ I have received has done much toward softening my hard and rebellious heart, F “I would not have been alive at this time if it had not been for. the visits of Christian men to my cell, who induced me to pray. The: Word of God was placed in my. hands, which ( have made my datly com- panion, and now I can truly gay I am not afraid to die, and know beyond a doubt that God hag for- given all my many sins. I do not dread death at all. If I could only warn the people of their sins, Sin has brought me to where I am, and Caused me to have to die. 1 ‘want to thank any editor who may kind- ly print this my last message, and urge all who read it to beware of all forms of sin “and prepare to meet their God. Those whom I so hated a8 my enemies, I have been praying for day and night. I can truly say I have nothing on earth agninat any one low. “I so appreciate all that has been done to save my life;-and want_to heartily thank all who signed - the petition and all who wrote letters in my behali; that I so miuch prefer the death chair to a iife of imprisonment, since I am sure that I am ready to meet it. 1 do not dread it in the leust. “I waut to say to our good Chris- tian Governor that his final decis- jon has satisfied me far more than a Hfe sentence in prison; and for him not to worry over this, for I fee] that he has done what he felt was right. I am anxious only for my children I leave behind, and can only commend them to the lov- ing care of Him who has been so merciful to me and who prom- ises to be ‘a father to the father- tees.” ”” : SSS SPEAKS ORAZY AND MEAN. So Heartless That Those Who Come - in Con With Him Feel That He ‘es Death, Greensboro Record; 23d, It is the opinion of: the officers who have Moses’ Speaks in. charge that he is either insane or the most absolutely heartless and wicked man unhung. Yesterday afternoon he was told that Gregory, the young Man who assisted in his arrest, was vary low from the effects. of the wound from the knife wielded by Speaks, and would probably not re- cover. Speaks is reported to have answered that he ought to die, and showed no concern whatever as to the fate of the young man. The fellow seems to be harboring the idea; which he has entertained for a long time, that he has been rob- bed of his property by the Masonic order and appears to hold a grudge against au ‘yhembers of the lodge. A.E.Holto counsel for the man who was successful in a civil action in getting possession of some land whicn Speaks claimed was his. Since then he is said to have gone to Winston with the avowed intention of taking the life of Attorney Hol- ton. It is highly probable that the man is mentally unbalanced, but his ab- erration carries with it such a fiendish species of mean cunning that all who come tn contact with him feel that the electric chair would: be a suitable fate for him. Sheriff Jones this morning had » | Speaks removed from the cell on second floor in jail to the private cell on the lower floor. By doing this it gives Speaks more room and also does not require the jailer to enter the cell to feed him and there- by run the risk of being attacked, for Speaks is a very treacherous man, as it will be recalled that some months ago, while he-was confined in the jail here, he removed a chain from his bunk and as Jailer May en- tered the cell he struck him across the head, hoping to stun him so as to be able to make his escape. Sheriff Jones is making every ef- fort to keep him secure.

It was introduced in the House by Representative W. A. Grier, not of his own initiative,but at the re- quest of other persons. It provides for a fine of $60 or imprisonment for thirty days, or both, in the dis- cretion of the court.

Raleigh News and Observer. The machinery act makes a long step forward in the method of tax assessment. It does away with the old way of having these asseseors in each township and replaces them with one assessor who shall be named by the county commigsion- ers. It provides for the appointment by the State Tax Commission (whether the present or-a new one) of one tax assessor for each coun- ty, who shall have under him the one assessor in each township in his county. He shall spend et least one day with each township as sessor, with general power of super- vision in the listing #f Property, Dergonal’ and real, and see -that ‘Property tu all the townships is as- sessed at its true value. If the township: assessor and the county assessor do not agree, an appeal will He with the county board of equalization. Increased powers will be given to the corporation commis- sion,or full power to the State tax commission, if it is created, to raige values within proper limits, and pro- vision will be made to equalize yal- ues. between townships in the same county and vetween adjacent coun- ties so that assessments and equal- ization will be fair and just, The old system has failed; and it ig a forward step to substitute it with the new and better method the finance committee will embody in the machinery act. At Goldsboro Thuraday Roacoe Rivenbark,a young man of the town, shot and killed Camille Pruitt, a woman of the underworld. ThePruitt woman was preparing to go to Ral- eigh when Rivenbark, who it seems was insanely enamored of her, en- tered her home and asked where she was going. She answered that she was going out of town for a few days. Then in the presence of five other persons,who were in the room, Rivenbark pulled a pistol from his pocket and shot the woman five times, killing her instantly. He then helped to lay her body on the bed and his only explanation of the crime is that he couldn't bear to be separated from her. Rivenbark made no attempt to es- cape. He tow professes to believe that he is going to die in a few days, says his trouble is due to eig- arettes and makes other remarks calculated to help an insanity plea. Rivenbark is said to be from a prominent family, has borne a good reputation and has never been in trouble before.

No trace of him could be ° found. His wite was notified of his escape, a3 was also the sheriff of Guliford county. As far as can be learned, ho more was ever heard of Speaks until about the time he committed his dastardly crime.
