‘TWO ROUTES THROUGH. IREDELL Ww. é Go By Both Oenral High . y port of Dr. Pratt. Two. routes for ‘the Central Highway have deen designated through Imedell—from Salisbury via Mooresville to Newton and from Saliebury vie Statesville to Newton. The Landmark 1s indebted to Dr. tion of the routes: On accoum of there being several ed ry the thro the. .county seat. ¢. route will be of most benefit to the greater part of the to the greatest number of the citi- zens of the coumty and the Gtate. 5. Which route will the adjoining counties connect with. 6. Which route ean, and will, the county build in the shortest time. 7. Which is| the cheapest route to budid and main- tain. Considering the routes from the) above standpoints, I have decided | to recommend that The Central High- be routed as indicated be) tow. Ina number of instances par- | allel routes are suggested which should be built, and, if built, will be! ma im connection with the Cen-| trab y and would probabiy be, used much es the main highway. | ‘The g thet ie indicated for | the Centrat Highway provides that) the road ahall be constructed at/ least 30 feet in width from ditch | to ditch except in certain casep’ where conditions are such that the | narrower road; be over 4 1-3.per cemt.; that the roam shall be surfeced with marad- am, gand chay or gravel within a) certain time to be agreed upon; that all streams shalj be bridged; and that concrete, terra cotta or metat| culverts shall be used in carrying | water from one eide of the road to | the other. K is also understood | that if at the time of the tour of | iuspection, which will be made some time én October, 1911, the various | Links of the Central Highway have) not been put in condition that they whould be by that time, the noute may be changed to another loca- tion where the people are willing and ready to construct the road. These condi @hould be borne in mind by those who are interested in having the Central Highway, and not take it for granted that becavse the highway has been rout- ed that any kind of a road will be aceepted as a part of the Central Highway. SALISBURY TO NEWTON. After very careful consideration, viewing the question from ali sides, it was decided that The Central Highway from Salisbury to New- tow should be routed byMooresville and also by Statesville. There are anumber of important reasons why the Centra) Highway should be rout- ed by both places, making a dou- ble track highway from Salisbury to Newton. [It was the desire to have the highway accommodate as many people of the State as possible, as well as of the county through which the highway passes, and the Mooresville route would undoubted- ly accommodate more than the Statesville, yet from a county stand- ppoint the Statesville route would pass throngh nearly the center of the county and also pasa through the county seat. The Mooresville route has a fair road across Iredell county and has | constructed a bridge over Catawba river, while by the Statesville moute the road ‘would have vo be almost entirely reconstructed ant a bridge built Over the Catawba river. The two adjoining counties—Rowan and Catawba—will have no difficulty in meeting both of these roads from Tredell coun:y. In Rowan county the portion of the route from Salis- bury to Statesville is being put in firet-class condition, and by Octo- ber ist the road should be com- phetely graded and the macadam or eand clay finished neanly to. the Iredell Hine. Im. Iredelli county from the Rowan county line through Statesville to Buffalo Shoals, a large amoumt of work will be re- quired and a considerable portion of the road will have to be ré-lo- catod. The work is not difficult and there is no reason why, if it is started at omce, dt should not be all graded and partly surfaced by October ist. A bridge wilh have to be built across Catawba river at Buffalo Shoals, and if the contract is let immediately it that the bridge could be completed at the time the tour of inmpection of the Central Highway will made in October. In Catawba ty. a new road of about a mille have to be constructed at the of the bridge until it intersects ' present -road leading via. Edith poatofifice,..

Smith Hallman, a young man about 20 years old, and Miss Mag- gie Carrigau, the 14-year-old daugh- ter of Mr. Jule Carrigan, who lives near the 3tatesville cotton mill, made ao attempt to go to South Carolina and wed Friday evening. The girl slipped away from her home about 3 o’clock Friday after- noon and joined Haikman and anoth- er young feliow,who were waiting ih a buggy, end the three left at once for Mcoersville thnough the cowntry. During the aftermoon the father of the girl Leard of the elopement and efter votifying Sheriff Deaton he boarded the evening train for Mooresville. Sheriff Deaton noti- fied the offfcers at Mooresville to arrest the couple on their arrival there, it having been learned that it was their plan to catch the train for Charlotte, which arrives in Mooresville at 4.25 from ‘Winston. Mr. Deaton started in pureuit of the couple im his auto bat before reaching Mooresville he learned that the pair had been arrested there. They bad miesed the 4.25 train and when they went to the railway sta- don to board the evening train the officers arrested ‘them and the gir was turped over to her father, who was on the train, while Hallman remsined in the custody of the of- ficere for a time, but escaped during the vight. A razor was found on his person and he was to have been tried on the charge of carrying con- cealed weapon. Jurors For Next Term of Court.

Washingon Dispach, June 30th. The Canadian reciprocity situation Cleared to a marked degree today and a canvass of the eituation in the Senate was in every way aseur- img to the friends of the measure. With not more than a dozen set speeches in prospect and with eight hour sessions of the Senate on the program to hasten action, many of the Senators count on the vote be fore the end of July and Senator Smoot holds to. his original predic- tion of an adjournment of Congress before that date. When the Senate adjourned today after three hours of anti-reoiproci- ty speech-making by Senators Gam- ble and Cummings, there was an wun- derstanding that there should be no further effort at legistation un- tit after July 4, and that when busi- ness is resumed there will be no cessation umtil final adjoummment, however long that may be poatiponed. There will be brief sessions of both Houses tomorrow, but onily for the of meeting the constitu- tienal inhibition againgt either body adjourning for wore than three days at a time without the other’s con- sent. With reciprocity disposed ofjt ts aot believed that the session will be greatly prolonged. The stand- pat Republicans are disposed to con- cede a vote om the wool and free list bills, and the House is not sol- bd: fm its desire to stay “until snow flies’’ in order to get more general revision. The Democratic Senators have said from the beginning that they would be satisfied with a rolbcall on the two tariff bile and there are Indi- cations that they will let these go to vate without much debate in view of the threatened L veto of both bills and of the fact that in any event the real battle must be fought out at the regular ses- gon next November. .. 4. protesta aa immediate vote on the ins amendments to the Canadian: reci- procity bill featured today’s debate im the Senate. Senator Cummins, who hae had the floor during parte of the last three days, announced that he would conebude hie attack he would like to have his on the Canadian products, voted up on on Thuraday, July 6. Mr. Cummins said he wanted the Senate and the country to un derstand that the insurgent Repub- licans were pot trying to dehay the progress of the teciprocity bill. Sen- ators Simmons, of North Carolina, and Shively, of Indiana, Democrats, protested, however, that there had bean no opportunity thus far, for amendments except thelowa Senator himself. Mr. Cummins finally with- drew his request for a vote, and the debate was thus left open. Chairman Penrose, of the finance committee in charge of the bili, an- mounced that next week the Sen- ate would observe longer hours than in the past, for the purpose of has- tening consideration of the meas ure Largest Cotton Crop in History Predicted. Washington Dispatch, 3d. Official estimates of the cottom crop neport of 1911 indicates that it will be the largest in the bistory of the country, approximating, ac- cording to the present figures, 14,- 425.000 bales of 500 pounds each. Dr. N. A. Murray, acting chief of the andp reporting board of the De- pantment of Agriculture, today mad the following statement subsequent to the issuance of the crop neort: ‘The report shows the condition of the crop to be higher than on any corresponding diate in the last ten years. A month ago the general condition was 8.5 per cent above the ten-year average. Today it is 10.3 per cent above the ten-year average. “The acreage of cotton this4year is about 35,000,000. Allowing fo the average amount of abandonment —S&bout 1,000,000 acres—the imdi- cations are that approximately 34, vedted. “The condition indicates a prob- able yield of 202.8 pounds per acre, which on 24,000,000 acres would meam 6,895,000,000 pounds or about 14,425,000 bales. “Thies calculation allows for aver- age depreciation. The critical pe- riod tm cotton growth is in August, and September, eo thiat any estimate at thie time must be taken with some Oondition of Cotton Orop. The condition of the cotton crop on June 25 was 88.2 per cent mal compared with 87.8 per May 25, 1911; June 26, 1910, 1909 and 80.0 average condition on June 25 img the past ten years accondking the Dgpartment of Agriculturés’ es timate announted at noon yestter diay .

The near-beer business never in- yaded Iredelt county, thanks to the healthy sentiment in favor of law ‘emforcement, but it was an ummitt gated nuisance in many communities largely on account of the fact that @ near-beer saloon was usually a eloak for selling genuine beer and booze. Under the law passed by the last Logislatune the sale of near beer became illegal on the finst. of this month. Some other comeoc- tion will probably take its Place except where public sentiment re- wtrains.

A fast mall and passenger train on the Phifudelphia & Erie railroad was held up five miles from this city by a band of a dozen masked men about.10 o’chock tonight. The mail and éxpresa care were rifled and three of the crew, C. H. Block of Erie, maif clerk, and H. D. Roon- ey, Erie, conductor, were injured. Cc. D. Bemis was shot in the arm. ‘Block was shot in the right side and was taken to a hospital in a dying condition. Rooney re- ceived serious injuries when he was hit by a stone thnowm by one of the robbers. The train was due in this city at 10,10 tonight. A few min- utes before 10 o’clock, when the train was making a large curve, the emgimeer saw an obstruction ahead. He stopped the train with all possible speed, but not before it crashed into ties and telegraph poles that had been placed across the track. When the train hit an obstruc- tion it was first believed by the pas- sengers that there had been a col- lision with another train. The next moment, however, the crack of re vyolvers acquainted them with the Teal cause of the trains stopping. As the train came to a etand- Still several of the pagsemgers alight- ed to ascertain the trouble. Their presence drew the fire of the band of masked men and there wae a stampede to re-enter the cars. An unknown passenger, who, braver than the rest, caught hold of one of the robbers, was picked up bodily and throwm over a 300- foot embankment. His condition is serious. The man’s head, face and body were badily cut and his cloth- ing torn from his back. The spot selected by the robbers was ideal for their work. On one side of the rajIrcad is a large ravine and on the other side is a dense woods. The men had hidden among the trees. It was from this point that all of them made their ap Pearance when the train came to a Almost before the train had reached the obstruction, the mask- ed band had taken up their position al practically every entrance to the cams. Wher the passengers began pouring from the train there was a few sharp cries from the men to get back. When a number of the excit- passengers failed to take this advice the bandits opened fire. They Shot along the sides of the care level with the windows amd this ef- fectively put an end to the curios- ity of the passengers. Within the cars there was a pan- . A number of women fainted, while the screams of others caused much confusion. A large number of those aboard were from Philadelphia, Buffalo and intermediaté points. The train Was made up of four day coaches and two pulimans. It meets the Philadelphia and_ Bitfalo trdin at Emporium, Pa. It is believ- ed the bandits were foreigners, Within a few moments after word of the hold-up was received here every officer in the city was called into action. Many of them boarded a Special tmain for the scene, while others were taken there in automo- biled and other conveyances. Late tonight the surrounding coun try was dotted with men and lan- terns searching for the men and contents of mail bags and valuable packages taken from the train. The hold-up occurred at one of the moet deserted places. Dispatch- ers at the division office here recelv- ed a report at 10 o’clock that the train had Belle Valley, the last telegraph tion before thie city. The train then was on time and due here ten later. Frst- teen minmtes passed and then 30 minutes without the train arriving and railroad officials there grew anxious. Atliockck a weak voice called by telephione and said: “We've been-robbed! We've been robbed! Maybe lots are shot.” It was the report of the conduct- or, Rooney, to the officials and theiz first intimation of the robbery. Albert Caney, engineer, by mak- ing a quick slop of the train prob- ably prevented a serious disaster. Railnoad men say had the heavy train struck the obstruction with much foree it would have thrown the entire train from the the track aud down over the embankment. When the train stopped Engineer Carey and his fireman olimbed down to investigate. They were immedii- ately seized by masked men, who with revolvers made the two men get back into the cab. Two of the robbers then climbed aboard and kept guard over them. By this time passengers were be- ginning to leave the train and part of the gang began firing their re- voivers chose to the heads of the frightened men and women. Mean- while two or three of the robbers paid strict attention td the mail and express cars. Bblook, the mail clerk, thrust his head from the door of hie car and jbegan fining. He was Inet with a | volley from the pistols of the nob- | bers and fell shot through the side. tr w " < wat lic isnot going to buy them.

From the Worlds Alliance Bulletin. Among the Protestant denomi- mations of the United States, on- merically, the Baptiats rank first. They number 5,383,944. The Baptista of the United States raised last year for church work $25,978,911. They own amd contro} ninety-three universities and colleges, valued at $31,694,976, with an endowment of $29,697,019. They have 34,099 atu- dents in their colleges and universi- ties. ‘Thie means that about one- geventh of all the university and col- lege students in the United States are in Baptist inetitutions,.. They own about one-eighth of ail, the col- lege and university property im the United States, and control one-nimth of the endowment funds. Besides their universities and colleges, the Baptists own and control eight sec- ondary schools, valued at’ $5,281,40 ‘with an endowment fund of $1,883.- 481. ‘They have. in these schools 14, $44 students. The Baptists of the ‘United States have neanly. $75,000,- 000 invested in educational work. In the yeat 1800 there were about 50,000 Baptiats in the United States. Iw 1910 there were 5,383,944. The fifteen Southern States, comprising ithe territory of the Southern Bap- ttiet. convention, have within their borders about 2,150,000 white Bap- tists. The thirty-three other States, eoumprising the ternibory of the Worthern Baptist convention, have within their borders 1,374,524 Bap- tists. Besides this there areabout 1,800,000 negro Baptists. There are 49,752 Baptist churches and 35,368 onda Baptist ministers in. the United States. There were 398,895 additions by baptism in the United States last year. ‘When George Washington took dig oath of office as the fingst Pres fikdhdent of the United States one per- soni out of every 94 was a Baptist. Now one person in every 17 is a Baptist. The firet Baptist chunch eatab- | Mihed in Philadelphia was in 1864, through the leadershiip of Rev Thos. Dunmgan, of Ireland, who came to our city from Rhode Island. In continuous existence our oldé- est church is the tower Dublin, at Busttieton, Phihadelphia, onganized tn 1688. Our first church, founded in what ‘was the original city, was consti- tuted in 1698. This is now bocated at Seventeenth above Walrmut street. It is-one of the handsomst Baptist church edifices in the world. The finst asuociation organized) in America was the Philadelphia-| Baptist association, 1707, and for | fifty years was the onilly body of its kind in the entire country. Brown University,.. located Providence, Rhode Island, owes its l origin to Philadelphia in 1762. The firet, and at the time the only Baptist doctor of divinity in this country, was the first president of Brown University, Rev. James Man- ning, D. D. He received his de. gree from the University of Penn- sytvania, located in our city. The first Baptist Theological Sem- inary in the United States was or ganized by the Board of the Tnien- nial Convention in 1818, its first class being graduated in 1821. From this sprang Columbia Oollege, Wash- ington, D. C., now merged. into George Washington University. The Pennsylvania Baptist Educa- tion society was organized,and Buck- nell University, named after a gen- erous-hearted Philadelphia Baptist, was projected iin Philadelphia, while to all intents and purposes Crozer Theological Seminary (Upland) is a Philadelphia imstitution. The American Baptist Foreign Missionary society was organized ‘m Philadelphia and undertook the support of our first two foreign mis- Sionaries, Adoniiram Judson and his wife, Ann Haseltine. In thiis\ city Women's Missionary circles, do work wpon the for- eign as Hi as the home field, were organized a hunidmed years ago. The first Baptist Confession of Faith in North America was issued in this city in 1742, and the next year it was presented in boek form by the noted Benjamin Franklin. Our American Baptist Publication Society, organized in 1824, with as sets of more than $2,000,000, and is suing periodicals to the number of 53,000,000 copies annually, has its home in this dity in its own Roger Williams building. During the Continental Congress, meeting in this city, Baptists from New Wnegiland and Virginia, sought and received our podiitive aid to secure from the Congress its in- fluesce for religious toleration and freedom from persecution. The first amendment to tihe constitution of the United States, granting liberty to all our people to worship God, was adopted im our city as a result of Baptist {influence brought to bear on the President, George Washiing- ton.

Steel Trust Will Beat Them All. New York Dispatch, June 29. What promises to be the most sengational and far-reaching anti- trust action the Federal government, has ever umiertaken. is expected to take form here today when the Fied- eral grand jury, which has been |/ aga thet, hearing <¢vidence certain officials of the United States Steel Corporation, its subsidiaries and many independent steel companies, makes its neport. It is known that the findings of the grand jury promise to be a great- er revelation than any of the pub- lished rumors have indicated. Orim- inal inddetments charging conspira- cy to control the prices of steel and ateel prodacts the country over, involving men high up im the financial world, are @aid to be ready. The government’s investiga- tions have gone even further and are said to have reached a promi- nent law finm of thie city which has for years been commonly identi- fied with many so-called trust con- tracts and pooling agreements, Some of the evidence presented to. the grand jury is said to show that the steel usiness in the United States has been divided by agreement into about twenty pools. The pools, it is said, have been formed by agreement between the subsidiaries of the steed corpora- tion and.many of the independents. Agents of the government in their investigations have. come into pow seazion of contracts, agreamenta anid minutes of meetings of steel men. The government’s action is di- rected more against the “trust with- in the trust’ than against the steel corporation alone, although the evidence laid before the grand jury is said to involve many of the officers of the big company. While the bureau of corporations at Washington. has been making an investigation of the steel conpora- tion for wmearly three years, this proposed criminal action is apart from that. The criminal case will |. not have any comnection with any suit which the government may bring against the steel corporation. NEXT. One to Be Established From Wash- ington to Army Training School. Wasivington Dispatch, June 29. Aeroplanes may be seen buzzing about the White House and the War Department this summer with such regularity that they will at- tract only passing attention. Briga- dier General James Alien, chief of the signal corps, has completed plans for an aeroplane route from the anmy aviation training schoo} at College Park, direct to the War Department, and from there to Fort Myer. The route covers low ground excellently suited for fying, and e aviators will take advantage of t to call and pay their respects to H. UL. Stimson, Secretary of War, and Brigadier Allen,and incidentally keep them in touch with what is going on. From College Park the course runs along the east bank of the Potomac to Benning, five and a half Miles distant, where there will te found the first landing place, if the aviators wish to land. Firom Benning to the War Department there i6 a marked course of seven miles, which probably can be cov- ered in about ten minutes. The route then extends to Fort Myer, two milles distant. Aviation by the army will be ac- tive next month and by July 10 there will be four machines oper- atiug almost daily. This is without counting the private machines which have hangats in the vicinity and which probably will make frequent flights to keep pace with the anmy. Brigadier General Allen made it clear today that work ip to be the watchword so far as army flying is concerned, and the army aero- Planes seen speeding over the White House or alighting near the War Department will not be engaged in fancy flying stumts or in maneuvers to suit onbookers. Despite the thousands of requests for flights and the keen interest which society is taking im aviation, the army machines will onlly on rare occasions be used to canry civilian passengers. It is reasoned there will be enough private machines in operation to gratify the desires of those of society who hope to fiy this summer. AEROPLANE _ ROUTES Some Condemned Corn Meal. Washrngton Special to the Raleigh News and Observer. Most. North Carolinians pride themselves on the fine quality ‘of corn meal that they are able to get from local grist mills, but it seems that there is demand for this native product via Baltimore and other distant points. The Agricultural Department has just given notice of the condemna- tion of four hundred sacks of ‘‘bolt- ed meal” shipped from Baltimore to a Wilmington firm which was axdtul terated within the meaning of the pure food law. An examination by the Federal bureau of chemistry of a sample of the meal in question showed the presence of 94 beeties, 11 weevils, 16 moths, 29 other in- sects and 667 larvae and wmealy worms. Being threatened with progsecu- tion, the corsignees admitted the filthy and decomposed condition of the product, and gave bond not bo dispose of it in violation of the pure food act. MoralNorth . Carolinians who wam any meal in their ground corn product had better confine their purchases to home markets fn thie future. enemas Right in your busiest season, when you have the least time to spare, you are most likely to take diarrhoea and lose several days’ time, unless you have Chamberiain’s Cottc, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy at hand and take a — on © first appearance of the disease. ‘or sale by all dealers. ’ Don’t let weather conditions worry you.

A sweeping investigation of all the express companies in the United States affected by the Inter-State commerce laws has been ordered by the Inter-State Commerce Commis- sion on its own motion. Evidently in anticipation of this action by the com- mission, practically all of the express companies filed applications which are believed to be material reductions in rates. It is said it will require sever- al months to compare these rates with those now in existence. It is announced, however, that the filing of the new rates will not affect the proposed investigation inany way. This investigation will be one of the widest in scope ever undertaken by the commisgion and not only will be conducted as to rates, but will include the practices, accounts and revenues of the various companies. More than a year ago a number of the leading commercial nizations of the country petitioned the commis- sion for a general investigation into the rates and methods of the express companies. The commission has been considering this in connection with various cases brought against individ- ual companies. The enquiry isorder- ed ‘‘to determine whether such rates, classifications, regulations or practices, or any of them, are unjust or un- reasonable, or unjustly discrimina- tory, or unduly preferential or preju- dicial, or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions of said act, and to determine the manner and method in which the business of said express As|companies and each of them is con- ducted.’’ Tobaceo Trust Operations Ohecked.

Raleigh Dispatch, June 30. ‘ “Lady Duke,” or “How it H a a trade cartoon used by Ware-Kramer Tobacco ‘Company. came in, for rather vansational treatment today in the conclusion of the three days’ cross examination of President F. D. Ware, of the Ware-Kramer company. Tie cartoon was exhibited tm court and used by coumsel for the defenge to prove an ingult to Mra, J. .B. Duke, who was Miss Inman, of At- lauta. it showed a dashing sort of a wo- man, with gaudy costume cut very low in the front, with flaming dia- nmoud necklace and diamonds in her hair and on her fingers, a box of White Rolls cigarettes was hitting her squarely in the eye. Mr. Ware denied that the cartoon had any reference to Mra. Duke, saying it was gotten oul three yeans before the marriage of ‘‘Buck” Duke and Miss Inman. It did appear, however, that the icture was used after the Duke marriage. A letter from Mr. Oliver, salesman for Ware-Kramer company, narrated to Mr. Ware that he had seer Duke and his bride go by inan auto and that he had thrown a box of Whit: Rolls cigarettes into the automobile. There was also a let- ter from Hogan & Co., Philadelphia, commenting on the‘‘Lady Duke” car- toon to the effect that Duke ought to feel complimented by the picture of his wife There was a reply by Mr. Ware in the same vein. The letter in ev- idemee did not canry any quotation marks where Ware quoted Hogan in his reference to Mrs. Duke, and Ware had the support of Judge Connor in his right to show fhat the stenographer had failed to put im the quotation marks in making the copy the defence was using against him.

STAGG MISUNDERSTOOD. Recently The Landmark -copled en editorial from the Baltimore Sun eriticising Dr. John W. Stagg, for- mer pastor of the Second Presby- terian church of Chartotte, on ac count of the Intter’s alleged criticisn of Congressman Hobson for remov- ing his coat while making the comr gmencement address at Dr. Stages wollege in Birmingham, Ala.; and 60 the criticism of the Sun The Land- mark added a few remarks of its own. Dr. Thurston, of Tayloreville, hes sent The Landmark a clipping from the Sun containing the reply of Dr. Stagg to the Sun editorial. After saying that his wife has been tryme to convince him thet his “style of writing, and saying things could not be understood by smart people,” Dr. Stagg admits that he ig about convinced thet that is true and says: neon rema a eee Ten be exceedingly complimentary to tS ae Cl rather caustic in xp oie ty 7 down here understood me; the smart people did not.

Asheville Monday Policeman McConmeli arrested John Huff, alias George Waldrop, colored, charged with stealing cattle, The officer put his prisoner in an automobile and etarted with him to jail when the negro pulled a gun, shot the officer and made his escape. The wound is serious but the officer is expect- amost of |ed to necover. Ex-Senator Butler is having him- self interviewed in Washington and is mentioned as a Republican lead- er in North Carolina. Washington dispatches to North Carolina papers say that Butler is planning to go as a delegate-at-large to the na- fonal Republican convention and cised, but the Sum editorial writer /rnot it is his evident purpose to play gaid it was caustic im the extreme and quoted sentences which seem- ed to indicate caustic criticiem of Hobson, who was his guest. The Landmark thanks Dr. Thurs- ton for sending thé clipping, for this paper always endeavors to be fair, and it is glad to give Dr. Stagg 4 showing. His saying, how- ever, that “smart people” do not geem to understand him is evidently @ caustic way of saying thet the people who don’t understand him are the opposite of “smart.” trouble is Dr. Stagg thimks he is @ wit and that he is very smart, and maybe he is both, But ff he would take his good wife's advice and say what he means in plain English, so that common folke of ordinary intelli gence could un- Gerstand him, imstead of trying to be a wit, he would probably get along better. At least he would mot figure im so many disagreeable incidents, for this is not the first time he has been im the papers. The State Bar Association ast week got down to real business. The committee on law reforms rec- ommended that the number of Buperior Court judges be increased to 24; that the State be divided im to three circuits of eight judicial districts each; that the present sys- tem of rotation of judges be mbolished; that the solicitors be put on ea sadary; that the laws gov- erning the selection of jurors be amended; that a committee of five bo appointed to..prepare_billsto_be Presented to the next Legidature that shall 6mbody these changes and that these proposed bills shall ‘be published before the next meet- ing of the association, the bills to be considered by the association before being presented to the Leg» | men/ felature. That is making a start, which is encouraging. Again and again attempts have been made in the Legislature to make changes affecting the courts, the need of Which is universally admitted, but these efforts ‘have always been @efeated by the lawyers im the Leg- islature. If the State Bar Associa- tion can agree on bills which will ef- fect even some of the desired re- forms, there is reason to hope that | they will be passed,for in that event | they will have the prestige of the Bar Association behind them. The Landmark does not think that so great an increase in judges is nec- essary, if indeed any increase shouhd be made. But the idea of dividing the State into two or more judi- chil distiicts, so that judges will mot have to travel over the entire State, is a good one. The placing of solicitors on ai asailary is also @roper and right, but the greatest need is a change in the method of Belecting jurors. The Landmark would almost be willing to accept changes were made along with it. The experts the cotton crop this year will be the largest in the history of the coun try-—fourteen and a half milion Dales.

A meeting of the Press As Bociation, like most similar gather- ings, is Intended to be, and is, a minimum of business and a max- dmum of fum and frolic. Most of the editors go for an outing; for a + few days’ surcegse from the grind of ..a newspaper office; for the pleasure of meeting other editors and exchanging experiences; to meet people and see things away from home. There are interesting and valuable’ papers read, addresses heard and more or less “shop talk’ that is worth while,but when ani ed- tor is out-for a sort of vacation he wants to forget’ the shop for a time. The meeting at Lenoir was large- ly attended, many ladies being -in the party. A special car was pro- vided by the Southern to carry the editors to Hickory andthe car didn’t teid them, At ‘Hickory © anoth- er car was provided by the Carolina and Northwestern railroad (Monday evening) and a especial train took the party to Lenoir. There was a wait of some two hours at Hickory and citizens of that hospitable town invited party to Hotel Huffry, where refreshments were served and Edi- .|@ll the way from. Blowing Rock to a @rive to Linville, by the and pictuneeque Yonahlossee along the side of Grandfather moun- tain, at an elevation of 4,000 to 4,- 500 feet. A horse can trot early bet oe Se views are fine. party climbed to the summit of the Grandfather. The af- ternoon and might were spent at the Eseeola Inn at Linville. It -is a Splendid hostelry and Linville a most delighitful place to spend.a va- cation. Early next morning the drive commenced again and a trip of 17 miles landed us at Edgemont, the head of (he Carolina and North- western railroad, 234%, miles above Lenoir, and from there. home. The trip from Linville to Edgemont is over a splendid graded road, known ag the Watauga tumpike and built by the Watauga Turnpike Company. At Edgemont there is a well kept and cosy Inn, It is a good pilace to rest’ for one who loves quiet and there are some fine views along the allroad from Edgemont to Le noir. The trip from Lenoir to Blowing Rock, Boone, Linville and Edgemont cannot be surpassed anywhere. The roads’ are alh good. ‘The road from Lenoir to Blowing Reck is in fine shape and those who go by auto- mobile can make the distance be- tween. the two points in two and a half hours easily. All the roads are fine for automobiles as well as for those who prefer the slower method. The scenery on the routes cannot be surpassed anywhere in tke world. The views at Blowing Rock in scope and magnificence are uuperallelied. There are three ho- tels at Blowing Rock and a number of boarding houses which afford good accommodation. The view from Blowing Rock verandah is fine ttr Banks, of the Democrat, made a | brief and happy address of welcome. | At Lenoir committees of citizens me! the editors and transported them to hotele and boarding houses and some to private homes as special guests.

Wells aud Springs Went Dry, But All Returned tu Normal Flow Next Day—Crops Suffering From Drought—News of Eufola. Correspondence of The Landmark. Eufola, July 5—We still have hot, dry weather. For the it has been especially hot and dry. The wind was cool and the sun hot, which seemed to dry the earth and crops have begun to suffer. mething of unusual occurrence happened July 3d which we cannot account for. The Catawba river fell about two feet on that day and came back to.its usual flow the next day. A good many of the wells and springs in the community went i writer took special notice of this. Mr. C. C. Clark’s spring, where he keeps his milk and butter, a good strong spring and affords plenty of water to keep the milk cool, failed to give any water that day, but has since come back to its normal flow. We are glad to know we are to have a bridge at the Buffalo Shoals. This means good roads for this com- munity, especially the one leading to Statesville, and we understand one from the bridge direct to Eufola, which will be of great convenience to the Long Island Cotton Mills as well as to the general public. The lawn at Bethel church given by the Woman’s Missionary So- ciety was well patronized and a nice little sum realized, which will be spent in repairing the church. The Bethel Sunday school will have their annual picnic Saturday before the fifth Sun- day in July this year instead of the third Saturday as before. The pro- tracted meeting ins on Friday night before the third Sunday, is the reason for the change. On account of the dry weather the farmers are well up with their work. Most of the corn has been laid by. Cotton is blooming fine. There are more blooms now than there were the middle of July last year. Reunion of Kestler Pupils—Person- al Items, Etc.

This should be a very large ee to show to Mr. Kestler and each other that the pleasant recollections of old will never be forgotten. At one time this was one of the most schools of the county. Pu- pils from all over the adjoining dis- tricts and even some from Statesville were sent here for the excellent training which they received. Mr. Kestler taught in this district for| about 20 years.

Carter, for $1,- 200,000 damages, has reached the ar- gument stage. After two or three weeks spent in taking testimony, the defense made a motion for non-suit as to W. M. Carter, charged with con- spiring with the American Tobacco ompany to destroythe Ware-Kramer Company’s business, and also asked a non-suit as to the company. The motion as to Carter was not resisted by the plaintiff and was granted, but the motion as to the tobacco company was overruled.

The fumeral was preached by Rev. T. E. Redman It was as able and good as the writer ever heard. She was 36 years old and had been a member of Unton chureb since she was 12 years old. She had been married 13 years. She had been afflicted for two years but Dore her afflictions with Obristian pa- tience and was ready for her Mas- ter’s cally She leaves behind a Christian influence, a spotless char- acter and a sad home. She is sur- vived by her husband, four chil- dren, her father, six sisters and one brother. Mrs. B. C.

Housel, from New York, went to Fayette- ville and opened offices for the North Carolina Orchards Company. After a little while Mr. Housel left town. presumably to go after his wife, said to be in New York, and that was the last of Housel. The sta- tionery of the company named J."O. Ellington, of the Fourth National Bank of Fayetteville, as treasurer, and Judge J. S. Manming, of Dur- ham, was named as president. The directors inchuded B. L. Duke, R. O. Everitt and J. H. Mason,of Durham. The company was recently charter- ed and it was stated that it would have $350,000 capital; that it had bougiht, 10,000 acres of land in Har- nett county, on which it would 1lo- cate 500 families and would spend $250,000 in developing the proper- ty, Since Housel’s disappearance it is stated that the company existed only on., paper; that it had no capital. ‘The promiment North Caro lindans who alowed the use of their names seem to know nothing about the concern except that it was not a reality.

The names of 14 officers of the United States navy selected for com- pulsory retirement have been an- nounced. By the conclusions of the board, which have been approved by the President, four officers of each of the grades of captain, commander and Heutenant comman- der and two lieutenants were trans- ferred to the retired list from June 30. One man in the list is from North Carolina—Capt. James T. Smith, commanding the receiving ship, Hancock. The retirements are made in ac- cordance with the provisions of the naval personnel act for the Purpose of creating vacancies in the line of the navy in order to permit of pro- motions. The vacancies during the last. fiecal year caused by deaths, retirement or. resignation were 14 leas than the number prescribed by law.

Moisture is the most important fac- tor (nm the production of crops, and methods by which water may be stored tm the subsoil amd conserv- ed for future use by the crops, should receive our most careful con- sideration early in the season, The planting season in many 6ec- tions opened with less. water in’ the subsoil than ever before, and the rainfall im most places since April Ist is below the average for this period by several inches. As a result, the sojl is unusually dny and the soil water unusually tow for this season of the year. And, as already stated, we are just entering the critical period in the growth of the crop—the stage of growth at which most moisitzre is nequired to bring to good fruitage and maturi- ty. With a normal rainfall the re- mainder of the growing season it will require our utmost gkill to pro- duce a fair crop im many sections. We will have to conserve every par- ti¢éle of moisture possible and here- in we need to be resourceful, and perform the work im the most effi- cient manner. The onty thing to do ts to cultivate. Oultivate shallow, cultivate frequently. Avoid open furrows. The Man who takes a shovel plow or solid sweep and opens a ditch on each side of the row, as some are now doing, is guilty of murder—the destruction of plant life. Heelscrapes, cotton sweeps, harrows and cultivators, set to rum shallow, not over one or two ftnch- es deep, are good implements to use in making a dust muich. Lay aside the Dixie and shovel plow and there- by savethecrop. Make all possible haste to stir the soil after a show- er. Under present conditions it ts imperative that we do this; if we do not, and a crust is allowed to form and remain for a few days the soil actually becomes dryer than if no main had fallen, and the crop suffers most severely. We should keep the cultivation going even if no rain falls to form a crust. In some instances it may be better to rum a drag or a Mght roller constructed for the purpose to break the crust or compact the sol! where too opem and loose. Go over the crop every week or ten days; if allowed to bie too long, ijury will be done by cultivation. It behooves us as farmers to study the situation, to stand by our crops, seek advice from each other and try not to let our crops suffer through any mistakes of ours. There is another thing that should not escape our attention— the scarcity and high price of hay. Many farmers are now paying $30 to thme for timothy hay. The drought has cut short the hay crop in the North and West and hay ie going to be scarce and high next winter and Fortunately, it is not too Gite for us yet to grow the hay and forage that we will need. An acre or two sowed or planted to sorghum now, or apy time in July, and well fertt lized, will yield an abumdance of forage. Millet can be sown as also can com, cow peas and soy beans, and no opportunity should be spar- ed to grow an abumdance of these crops to provide ample supply of forage for winter and spring. In the fall, rye, winter oats, wheat, barbey, crimaon clover and vetoh can and should be sown for a spring crop of hay. Oat and wheat hay can be easily and cheap- ly grown, and is far superior to the best timothy hay. Unless more than ordinary atten- thom is paid to our forage crops from now on, many farmers in this State will buy hay next summer at prices higher than they have paid for it im mamwy years. The hay crop out West is short. In fact, it is short everywhere, and we may reas- onably look for excepltionably high prices for hay next summer. Begin now to prepare for the evil day. I¢ your stubble land is too hard to break with a plow, run a disk or cuts away harrow over it at once so as to form a mailch and stop evapora- tion of the little water remaining in the soil. Then when the first rain falls prepare and sow at once with some crop for hay. A failure on the part of the farmers of the State to attecd to this now will re- sult in costly experience next sum, mer. Coroner's Jury Finds That Mrs. Hill Was Murdered.

Webb and Mrs. Ashcraft Hurt—Little Ohild of Mr. Pressly Run Over By a Horse. Dr. and Mra T. D. Webb and Dr. Webb’s sister, Mrs. Lee Ash- craft, of Wington, were all more Or less painfully injured by their horse running away late Friday af- ternoon. Fortunately neither of them were seriously hurt, all the wounds being external, and the in- juries are expected to heal with- out trouble. Dr. and Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Ashoraft were driving im Dr. Webb's buggy, the ladies . occupying the Seat, while Dr. Webb was sitting im the foot of the buggy. In going down the grade on Kelly streetin the vicinity of Mr. S. W. Stimson’s residence, the axle of the buggy fam on the horse's heels—the horse had been hitched too short— and the animal na’ took fright and began runnihg. Dr. Webb got up in an effort to get hold of the lines and just about that time the buggy struck a bridge in the street and he was thrown out over the wheels and received am ugly bruise on the arm. The horse ran on down Kelly street and in turning the curve near the in- tersection of Kelly with north Cen- ter street the buggy was thrown around so quickly that both ladies were dashed out on the ground be @ide the road. Mrs. Ashcraft was fendered unconscious for a few minutes but Mrs. Webb stood the shock.. well and was soon on her. feet. Dr. Webb and a number of persons who witnessed: the accident burried to the ladies and both were taken into the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Feimster. Physi- clans were summoned and when it was found mot dangerous the ladies were re Moved to the Webb home on Mul berry street, where their wounds were dremed. Mrs. Webb was bruis-| ed on both arms and mbes and re | cebved a gash on her lip, while Mre. Ashcraft received an ugly wound op the knee and suffered considerably from the shock. Entering north Center steet the horse turned toward the square and ran along the street until reach- ed the Henkel-Craig stables, where it was Gamed by a number of men in the street and ran into the sta- ble, where it was stopped. In go- ing into the stable the buggy struck @ carriage, but the carriage was not damaged. The buggy fared rather badly in the runaway and was considerably damaged. While driving along east Broad street Thursday afternoon Mr. C. F. Graves accidentally rum his buggy over litthe Julia Pressly, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Pressly, who was playing in the street in front of her home with other chéidren. The Mttle girl, about three years old, vias only slightly hurt and hs recovered from her imfjuries. A front wheel of the buggy knocked her down and passed over one limb, and in the fall her head struck an rock and a small gash was cut in her head. Mr. Graves was driving around a little child of Mr. and Mrs. Fred. H. Conger, who was also in the street, and did not see the Pressly child in time to avoid the acckdent. He picked the Kittle one up, carried ber into her home and then secured a physician to dress her injuries. Young Man Violently Insane. Hugh Barnard, son of Mr. J. A. Barnard, of Eagle Mills township, aged about 20 years, was taken to Morganton Saturday night by Sheriff Deaton. He had been desperately insane since Wednesday and at the Tequest of his people Sheriff Deat- on brought him to Statesville im his automobile Gaturday evening and took him om to Morganton that night. Young Barnard attended a Fourth-of-July celebration in Dikin and it is said that he showed signs of mental derangement while en route home after the celebration. His condition grew worseW ednesday and from that time om he was 580 wild that it required four or five men to hold him at times. It is believed by some that he drank some kind of ‘“‘dope’”’ while in Elkin which étarted his trouble, Barn and Wheat C Burned The barn of Mrs. M. E. Gaither, of the Harmony community, was to- tally destroyed by fire Saturday night and about 350 bushels of grain stored in the barn was burned along with it. The loss is about $800 with no insurance. The fire was discov- ered about ? o'clock by Mrs. Gaith- er, who immediately gave the alarm and the men about the place reached the buikding in time to save the live stock and vehicles. The fine is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. The team- esters had just fnished hauling the wheat and oats from the fields and at the point where the fire start- ed wheat had been stored in a sta- ble from the ground to the roof of the building.

STREET WORK IN PROSPECT. Board of Aldermen Plan Street Im- provements—Extension of Race Street and Sewer Line on West End Avenue Asked. Street matters occupied most of the time of the board of aldermen at their regular monthly meet- ing ‘Friday night, and action was taken with regard to some of the street work which it ie the pur- pose to do. Ordinances were passed making four short street improve ment districts on Broad and Cen- sca streets, a block each way from the square constituting a separate district, The work of improvng the streets in the districts will be done as early as possible. A represen- tative of the Standard O11 Company was present at the meeting and dis- cussed the various kinds of mate rial for street work manufactured by the oil company. Attorney W. A. Biristol appeared before the board with a petition from residents of the vicinity of the Statesville Cotton Mill asking that the town extend Race street from Western Avenue across both thé Taylorsville and Western rail- roads to a point on the hill south of the cotton mill, the petition algo requesting that bridges be placed over both railroads. The Matter was referred to the street committee. With a view to laying concrete sidewalks on at least one side of thé streets named as early as possible, the city engineer was | instructed to survey the following | Streets without delay: Davie avenue | from Tradd street to the corporate limits; Bell street from Center to Mulberry; Front street from Mui- berry to the corporate mits on jthe west; West End avenue from West End avenue to Broad: Wal- hut from Mulberry to Race; Broad from Tradd to Cemetery. Mulberry street has already been surveyed from Broad to the graded school. It is the purpose of the board to arrange the street work so as 10 first serve the school children and churchgoers. A delegation of citizens living on West End avenue made request that the sewer line on that street be extended west from Race street to:the hallow near the intensection ofPatterson street. The water com- mittee was instructed to have a sur- vey of the proposed line made and report to the board. A request that the town appro- priate $100 to the expenses of the entertainment of the Central High- Way party was granted. Spencer Won the Ball Game Satur- day . The ball game Saturday afternoon was beteween the Statesville and Spencer teams, the Spencer team having been calied when st was found that the Huntersville team could not come, and the result was a victory for the visitors by a score of 10 to 3. The Spencer nine is a strong one—well orgam- ized and plays good tl—and the local team realized it was “up against it’’ from the beginning. Members of the Statesville team alao did some good playing, howev- er, and the lest half of the game was very good. Spencer made seven of the ten runs im the first four innings. The Spencer battery was Brandon pitcher, and Cornel iugon catcher, while the Statesville battery was Anderson and Boshamer pitchers and Sherrill catcher. Bos hamer pitched the first four innings and Anderson the remainder of the game. The local players are not dis couraged and will arrange for oth- er games. They will have reguiar practices and after they get thor- oughly onganized and in good play- ing condition they exfect to win some games. They were disappointed in the proceeds from Saturday's game. The grounds are not enchosed and they were umable to collect from many of the spectators, only $13 being received. There will be a game on the Statesville diamond Friday between Lenoir and Statesviile. Central Highway Route and Other Roads to Be Surveyed.

At a meeting of the elders and deacons of the First Presbyte rian ohurch Friday night, a proposi- tion from the towm to take the stone wall around the old cemetery for street work and replace the stone with an tron fence, was rejected. On account of its historic connection with the days of the first settlers of the country, it was decided to retain the stone wall. It was de cided, however, to rebuild the wall, make it narrower at the base and higher, and a committee was ap- pointed to hook after the work Making the wail, next the street narrower will give mare space for the sidewalk adjoining, amd for this reason and the further fact that the old cemetery was for 100 years and }more.the only burying ground of the community the town will be ask- ed to co-operate in the work. It ig hoped not only to rebuild the wall but to keep the grounds in good shape and to make this his tonie and saened spot as attractive as possible. To this end subscrip- ttons will be solicited from persons who have friends and relatives bur- ied there. Cooper Marble Works Out of Busi- ness.

Nathan York, a young white man from Union Grove township, whose mind was impaired and who Suffered occasional attacks of epi- lepsy, died sometime Finiday night im a cell of the county jail, where he had been confined for some time awaiting admission to one of the State institutions. His dead body was found lying acroas hdis cot Saturday morning by Jailer Gilbert, who had called at the cell to give him breakfast. About a pint of blood had run from the umfortu- nate man’s nose and mouth and stood in a pool on the floor. The county physician was called and his opinion was that the young man suffered a violet attack of epilep- sy, the “falling sickness,” whiich re- sulted in suiiden death,the bileed- ing being due to the bursting of bhood vessels caused by the con- vulsive motions ing such attacks. The deceased was about 28 years old. His parents are dead and his brother, who survives, lives with relatives in Union Grove township. It seems that he has never been men- tally sound, but was considered harmless up to last winter, when he became so unruly that it was ae necessary to confine him in jail. Relatives of the deceased took the body to porth Iredell for burial Saturday aftennoon. Careful to Observe Sunday. En route to Davis Springs Sunday morning, the auttomobile conveying Messrs.

Charlotte Observer. With the recemt cengus report on Cotton goods there is shown to exist a situation which all manu- facturers should study carefully and well. In ten years production of Plam cloths for putting and con verting has increased 64 per cent.; fancy woven fabrics, 84 per cent.; ginghams, 93 per cent.; duck 26 per cent.; bags and bagging,61 per cent; sale yarne, 42 per ceat. Aud #> the story gocs, except that a dey crease ig shown for drilis and cot- tovades, along with a very slight increase in brown shectings and Bhiriings. All these figures relate to yardage or other measure of ac- tual quantity. [Mey do not take account of the considerable curtatl- Ment and reduction of stocks which have oceurred since January 1,1910, when the census period for cotton goods ended, but they do show that the country has been producing very considerably in excess of the current demand. lt {3 matter for serious thought and investigation that at the very time when the home market has be- come oversupplied American cotton g00ds exports to should have fallen off fram @bout thinty million dollars anmuablly to about five mil- lions. Recently the Observer re Produced from the New York Journal of Commerce an interview, On the causes of this loss, with Mr James 8. Fearon, a veteran exporter just back from an eight months’ visit to Shanghai. Mr. Fear on found it difficult to account for “the apathy of ovr Southern mill owners, to whom this trade is of vital importance and yet who seem to imagine that China must biv the goods they have been ac- cucs‘omed to produce for her mark- et during the past 20 or 30 years While they make no efforts to as certain if other descriptions could be sold more readily or in larger quantities.” Mr. Fearon pointed Out that Americam cotton goods must now contend not only with ag- gressive new competition from Ja- pan but with an increasing out- put of Chinese native cloth. He believes that the Japanese have in- creased their trade im southern Man churia much less by unfair discrimi- nation through government or railroad agencies than by effective organizathbon on the basis of barter cloth for Mamcehnuria’s valuable beans. Mitsui & Go., the Japamese concern onganized for this paynpose, does an end-to- end, one-profit business, whereas Anerican goods are sold to for eign firms in Shanghai, who sell them to Newchwang agents located Shanghai, who ship them to Newchwang merdhants,who sell and finance them to Manchurian mer chante. Here are four profiita to ing 1B soya large en Adjutant Gen- | 3ikbo, | coming as a direct sequel to a oam- | @ays that when Henry attacked Bik- }F, Ch | thé Japanese one. No wonder that \such a handicap, coupled with enr the American | tire indifference on |manufacturer’s part to the chang- |ing mequirements of the Chinese | trade, should have resulted im heavy loe@. That China’s consuming ca- | pacity is growing much more rapid- lv than either her home produc- tion. or Japan's exports, a sub |stantial increase in British cotton goods trade shows But British Manufacturers send out men of their |own to study Chinese requirements and to direct sales. We take it that Mr. Fearon would approve the plan for synudica ting American cotton goods exports tem tatively proposed by Mr. J. B. Duke. Through such a plan the Japanese methods would be virtually adopt- ed for the promotion of American trade. But the lesson of the cot- | toti Boods census and of Mr. Fear- \on’s observations alike is fhat MM American manufacturers merely walt for the China trade to come back they will wait many a day. It is now so well worth contesting for | that they must go or send after it if they would have their share again. Much Talk But No Fight. | Professor Henry W.

There is reason to Believe, nowever, that within the Past few years the trend of the Population from country to town has @ot been so great and that with the improved methods of agriculture which meaus. profitable farming, the mext defade will tell a different story. Five States—North Dakota, Wis- ©onsin, Nebraska, Oregon and New Jersey—have what is known as the Presidential preference law and in @ach of these States primaries will be held in which all political parties wilh express a preference for candidates for President and Vice President, the vote of the Btates to be cast in the national conventions in accord- ance with the preference expressed. The first of these primaries will de held in North Dakota March 19, next. Wisconsin, Nebraska and Or- @gon will vote in April and New Jersey May 28. This primary law ives the people an opportunity to express a preference for presiden- 4ial candidates instead of leaving the matter to the politicians, as is usu- ally the case.

SOOC66006 What International Stock Food Will Do It pays to feed International Stock Food to your hogs. Mr. M. H. Sigmon, of Eufola, sold in Statesville last week 25 pigs five weeks old at $5 the pair. Mr. Sigmon left 20 pigs at home (of the same lot) and he says the success with his h is due prin- cipally to feeding International Stock Food. He has been using International Stock Food with his stock for two years and finds that he cannot do without it. I can give dozens of such testimonials from prosperous farmers of this county to whom I have been selling this food. See me about this food and keep your stock healthy. If fed toyour sows will give you more pigs.and better pigs; it will produce 15 gal- lons more milk from your cow a month. If you want the best results from the hogs you kill this fall commence now the use of International Stock Food. Three feeds for one cent. D. J. KIMBALL. CAROLINA, | In the Superior Cow!

Farmers are not harvest- ing over 15 bushels per acre, and in some inetanoces the crop is an en- ttre failure—not cut at all. One pleasant feature of my trip is that I find strawberries along the line. Béginning with shipped ones in April, at Sta! , | am enjoying them yet here and feel en- couraged to go into Canada. In the cities I noticed everybody, even gray-haired ladied and chil- dren, aii walking as if going for a doctor or to a fine. All seemed to have the same rapid movement, I was told on inquiry they belong to the “Hiking Club.” That being a new club to me, I inquired some more. It is a systematic walking club composed of boys, girls, men and women, old and young, with a professor to teach the groper method, etc. When I start to take a street car nere in New York State, they know I don't belong to the “Hik- ing Club,” because they usually say, “Step lively!” amd ring the bell when I land on the step.

Speaking in the Senate Monday in favor of his amendments to the reciprocity bill, to put meat and flour on the free list, Senator Sim- mong was interrogated by Sena- tor Kem, of Indiana; Senator Reed of Missouri, and Senator Wil Bams of Mississippi, as to bis posir tion on the tariff and the debate al told occupied about three hours. Semator Simmons’ friends think he took care of bimeelf all right, while Others think he was somewhat em- barrassed. An important admission ty the Senator was that while he @id not formerly believe the tariff on grain benefited the farmer,he now thinks we have reached a point where it will be beneficial. Adait- ting that he was a member of the national Democratic convention and a member of the platform commit- tee which put yummber on the free Met, and offered no protest, he waye he was absolwed from that Pkank of the platform by a circular issued by State Chairman Eller, as- @uring thé lumber men of the State that members of Congress from this State would not vote for free lum- ber and all of them save one voted for a duty on lumber.

Oats and Hay Short and Corn Less Than Last Year—Potato Orop Very Short, Wheat Crop About the -Ay- erage. Gf Washington Dispatch, 10th. “Hot weather and drought “have played something akin to havoc with the crop conditions during the last monith,’’ declared Prof. N. C, Mur ray, acting chief of.the crop réport- ing board of the Department of Ag- riculture today, after the annoutice- ment of the July report on. grain and produce. : “The report,” said Professor Mur- ray, “reflects the rather serious ef- fects of the drought during June, most of the important crops show- ing a condition at present which in- dicates a yield below that of last year and below recent average yiélds of production. ‘Feed sbtuff—oats and hay— seems to have been hardest hit. onop of hay is expected and the oats crop probably will be more than 25 per cemt. less than last year’s crop, and about 12 per cent. less than the average for the last five years. “The com acreage is the largest ever recorded, but the condition of the crop is about 7 per cent. below the average. That indicates a pro- duction of approximately 5 per cent. less than hast year’s recard crop, but nearly 5 per cent.more than the average production during the last five years. The condition of the corn crop on July 1, however, was critical. “The potato crop promises to be | unusually short. The crop has fall- en off,probably on account of unsat- isfactory prices during the last year and the condition of the crop now is lower than at any time on July 1 in-the last.22 years. Almost a sensational advance in the price 0 | potatoes has been made during the | last month. The average price} throughout the United States on | June 1 was 63.3 cents a bushel. On | July 1 it was 96.3 cents a bushel }Ordinarily the variation in that |timé is only a few cents a bushel. | “Owing to the difficulty in the lsetting out of tobacco plants, the |acreage of tobacco has been reduc- jed 28 per cent. from that of last Poe The low condition of the crep | |together with the shortage of acre-| lage have combimed to reduce the in- dications to a total production of | 63.3 per cent. of last year’s crop or | |73°3 per cent. of the average for the last five years. “Notwithstanding the drought the | wheat crop—both spring and winter | —will be well up to the average im | total production. It is scarcely fike- | ly that the amount of wheat in bush- els will ‘vary a great deal from the | average of the hast five years | “Or generat crop conditions tip | section of the country which appears) to have been hit the hardest by the’ hot weather and the drought \s the tier of States comprising South Da- kota, Nebraska, Kansas and Ok- lahoma.”’ | Methods in the Orusade | Against Hookworm. The cpening of three dispensa- | ries and one hospital for the free} examination and treatment for hook-| worm disease marks a new = opment iu the cumpaigm against the | disease. Even though 21,000 per- | eons have already been treated, it | has been’ found that many suffer- | ers who have the disease fail for One cause or another to seek treat- ment. As the expulsion of the worms and the cures which follow treatment afford the best méans for dispelling such apathy, the need of temporary | Cispensaries or the ,free examina- tion and treatment of the disease has“been great. Having reached the) limit of funds available for North | Carolina,the hookworm commission of} }the Siate Board of Health laid the |situation before the officials of sev- jeral counties. Though a large num- |ber of the counties asked for the | dispensaries, offering to provide the financial aid, the work can begin in only four counties, as only four physicians to direct the county cam- paigns are available. The four coun ties securing the first dispensaries Sampson, Columbus New Four or five places in a county lare selected,usually school houses, widely separated but accessible to |the people, and on one day of each | week a medical hookworm specialist |@nd a laboratory expert will be |present to make free examinations \for all who come and to give free itreatment to all who are found in- lfected. After four to six weeks lithe experts will move on to the next jcoun y which hag provided the nec- lessary finangial aid. Every cured | person and his friends will prove \themselves valuable allies in car- rying on the campaign for better | health and sanitary conditions. The | hospital will differ from the dispen- |paries in that they will be stationary \for a week or more, will consist of l~ents and be provided with cots so ‘that the patients may stay over ithe direction of the physician «in charge. This plan of campaign is | meeting with the heartiest support of county boards of health and ed- | moation; and the county commission- lars seem enthusiastic. It meets the | approval of the local physicians and has been endorsed by the State Medical Society. | Happiest Girl in Lincoln! | A Lincoln, .Neb., girl writes, “I been ailing for some time with chron- lie constipation and stomach trouble. |T began taking Chamberlain's Stomach land Liver Tablets and in three days |l was able to be up and got better right along.

They are- made possible under the terms of the so-called. Ap- palachiah Forest Reserve act. ~ The States, which have so far completed plang for receiving 8 share.of the Money appropriated under the law are: Maine, $10,000; Vermont, $2,000; New Hampshire, $7,200; New Jersey, $1,000, and Wisconsin; $5,000. The money given by the Federal govermment is to be used exoluaive- ly for the employment of patrolmen.

Property Assesemént in Iredell In- creased $1,285,404. The approximate valuation of real and personal property in Iredeli by Uhis year’s assessment is $9,453,621 as againet $8,168,217 last year, a gaim of $1,285,404. These figures may be slightly changed by changes made yesterday, but they are ap proximately correct. The board of equalization yester- day wrestled with the property assess ment; with the result that an in- crease in the valuation of land was made in the townships of Barringer, Bethany, Chambersburg, Cool Spring Davidson, Eagle Mills, New Hope, Sharpesburg and Turnersburg; de- were made in Codcord, Falls to and Olin, while Coddie Creek, Shiloh, Statesville and Union Grove were allowed to stand. _ The increases range from 10 cents to 72 cemts the acre, while the de- oneases were from $1.70 in Concord #0 37 cents inOlin. The average land valuation for the county will be a Mtthe more than $1 in exctés of last year which was $7.07. Speaking of mational highways, State highways, elc., Statesville peo- ple who have looked into the mat- ter find that if a road were built direct from Wimetonm to Statesville via.Mocksville, travelers on the na- dional highway fromNewYork to At- lanta couM gave a distance of 28 miles by coming direct f Wins- ton to Statesville and going from here to Charbotte. The digtance from Winston to Statesville is 50 miles and travelers over the nationel highway from the North, who desired to go to Ashe ville,would save 56 miles by coming direct from Winston to Statesville in- stead of going via Greensboro and Salisbury. AtStatesville they cou» go via Newton and Hickory to Ashe ville; or, if the we from Lenoir to Taylorsville and Statesville, now be ing agitated, is built, they could have choice of routes, and coutd g0 via Tayforevidle, Lenoir and Blowing Rock to Adheville. If Davie county people will get buey amd build a Hme across that county, it is abmost certain that the routs from Winston to States- ville could be built; and if Cakiwell apd Alexander people Will get the Hne from Lenoir to the Iredell line the route from Statesville to Lenoir will be built. Capt. Howland Embarrassed in Sun- day School. Capt. ““Torm’’ Rowland, of Tay- lorev‘tle, conductor on the South- ern, a g00d friend to Statesville, exploiter of apple farms in Alexan- der and Wilkes counties and an all-round good citizen, is apt to be first to get onto anything new. In fact, he is the proverbial ‘Karly Bird” when it comes to being right up to date. It is. for being right up to now that Capt. Rowhnd is now suffering slight embarrassment and humiliation at the hands of those of his friends who know it. Among Capt. Rowhand’s endeav- ors is the regular teaching ofa Suo- day school clase at Taylorsville. His scholars are young folks. A _ few Sundays ago he laid aside his hat in his Sunday school room while he taught his class. A meddlesome boy, a meinber of the class, cast his eyes into Capt. Rowland’s hat and he read from a tag fastened there- in something like this: “This is not your hat, d—mn you; let it alone.” Strange to sey, being in a Sun- day school, the boy began to snicker when he saw what he had saw. Then other boys looked and @aw and seeing, snickered. What effect the incident had on th captain's inflWwence is not known. Aged Citizen of Concerd Township Passes. Mr. E. C. Browning died yester- day morning at 10 «o'clock at his home in Concord township. Fumerel eervice will be held this morning at 10 o’chock at Stony Point Metho- dist church, conducted by Rev. T. B Johnson, and the interment will . be there. Mr.Browming was a highly respect- ed citizen. He was born in Georgia but had lived most of his life in Ire’ dell. He was 90 years, 7 manths and 7 daye oM. He is survived by two son@—Rev. J. W. Browning, of Tennessee, and Mr. T. F. Browning, who lived with him—and two daugh- tere—Mre.

If the people who euffered from ptomaine poisoning are odrrect as to the source of the trouble, there must have been something bad the |inatter with the mitk in the rail road lunch room in Salisbury Satur- day night, the &h. In ite last ie sue The Landmark pwbbished an item from the Kiaston Free Press to the effect that Dr. W. T. Parrott, of Kingsion, came very near dying | from ptomaime poisoning, which he fests to milk drunk at the rail- road lureh counter in Salisbury Sat- urday uight, 8th. The publication of this item has brought to Might a similar case. Mr. T. QO. Flowers, of Rock Hilt, 8. C., eu route to Statesville, the same night drank a glass of milk at this @ame railroad lunch room in Salis- bury. Arriving in Statesville Mr. Flowers stopped at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. Mc. Conneliy. Soon after his arrival—about 11 o'clock—he was taken seriously ii. A physician was called, who said the trouble was ptomaine pois- oning, and until 4 o'clock Sunday morning Mr. Flowers’ condition was very serious He was on his way to Asheville to attend the meeting of the Hardware Associa- tion of éthe Carolinas, but on ac- count of this attack of illness did | not go to Asheville, spending the {week here with Mr. and Mra. Con- | nelly. If the mile drunk at the Galis- bury lunch room was the cause of the trouble, and of this Dr. Parrott and Mr. Flowers seem sure, then the sanitary arrangements of j(hat lunch room need overhauling; certainly the traveling public who hear of these cases will be chary of drinking milk there for a season. Preecher-Lawyer Ball Game Brought Up in District Qonference. During thie eession of the States ville District en hagt week Mr. Gliarpe, a venera- ble lay delegate from Alexander county, discussing the spiritual con- dition of the Church, said they had heard in his meighborhood that thé preachers and lawyers of States- ville bad engaged im pimying base ball. Mr. Sharpe intimated that he would Mike to believe that the re port was not true, and the tenor of his nemarks indicated that if the re- port was true he was of the: opin- lon that the preachers, if not the lawyers, had cverstepped the proper bounds While Mr. Sharpe was talking, it is said that at least two Statesville preachers and one lawyer-layman hung their heads and hooked guilty. Then a Statesville layman up and told Mr. Sharpe that the report .was true, but by way of extenuation he saidthe preachers and lawyers who played ball were not preachers and tawyers of the finst class. This ended it for the time, but the preachers and lawyers who were in that ball game wilh probably have a reckoning with that lay delegate first opportunity. Home Team Won Friday's Game— Another Game Tomorrow. The home team won in the game of ball between Statesville andCoolee- meeFriday afternoon,the Statesville team scoring ten runs while Coolee- mee scored only six. The local team did some good playing and expects to make a stili better showing here- after, having gotten organized and in practice. The features ofFriday’s contest were the pitching of Yount and the batting by Cooper. The bat- tertes were Yount and Sherrill for Statesville and Culberson and Honey- cutt for Cooleemee. The attend- ance at the game was not large and the proceeds amounted to onky $25.- 90. The players say that unless the folks patronize the games better the team wilf “go broke.”’ TheLenoir steam will be down to- morrow for a game tomorrow after- noon and a double-header will be play ed. A game here yesterday, afternoon between Statesville and Long Is land resulted in a victory for States- ville by a score of 6 to 4. More Pensioners.

GANT GO WITHOUT TROUSERS Talking of the shirt-sleeve cam- paign, the Richmond Times-Dispatch Gays: A Texas minister. has allowed the men of his congregation to come without coats to service, ex- pressly . forbidding, nevertheless, the use of suspenders on the perBon of the coatless worshippers. And that’s where the coatless is- Se cramps some Of its friends. It te admitted thet the coatless man looks best without suspenders, but @ome men can’t get on without sus penders;.to wear a belt or make the trousers tight enough about the waist so that they will hang on, is Misery to those who can’t abide anything close-fitting about their “tummies;’"’ and therefore they prefer to swelter in coats rather than suffer the tight waistband or Delt. To go without suspenders and wear the waistband loose enough for comfort would be liable in some eases to cause embarrassment by the trousers falling about the feet, and even the most earnest advo cate of light attire in warm weath- er will hardly contend that it Is proper to take chances on losing the trousers. Some years ago a Superior Court judge in this State brought himself into notice by barring coatless men from his court. Men, especially farmers, who were accustomed to go without their coats in warm weather, were compelled to swelter in hot court rooms in midsummer, ali because the judge did not think ghirt sleeves proper form. This judge had held court in a small town in hot weather and the jurors im his court had suffered much. The next term was held by the late Judge Armfield, of Statesville. The people didn’t kmow Judge Armfield, and remembering his predecessor's rule they appeared before Judge Armfield with coats on. A lawyer made bold to ask if the juroms Might take off their coats. ‘‘They ean take off anything except their Dreeches,”” answered Judge Arm- field. “I can’t allow men to come im my court without their breeches.” If some one will devise a plan whereby the cdatless man may leave off his suspenders and at the fame time wear the waistband loose enough for comfort without danger of losing the breeches, he ‘will confer a boon on humanity.

Some men can ceed with a small business who a failures with a large biisiness. So it doesn’t always follow that one who can succeed in a small way is sure of success on a langer scale, but the rule will probably apply. s s s Referring to the estimate that the cotton crop this year will amount to fourteen and a half mil- lion bales, and The Landmark’s comment that so large a“trop will mean a Materia) reduction in price, the Gastonia Gazette is moved to say: If conditions in Iredell are as bad as they are in Gaston, the re ports of those “experts” are very much at variance with the true crop situation. Generally speaking, the farmers in Gaston will be satisfied with from 60 to 75 per cent. of an average yield. But the prospect for a cotton crop im Iredell is fine. Farmers port shows that the wholesale price of farm products was 7:5 per cent. higher in 3910 than i 1908, Wholesale prices im.1910 were 19.1 per cent. higher than im 1900; 46.7 _per cent. higher than 1897, which was tne year of lowest prices between 1890 and 1910; 16.6 per cent. higher than 1890 and 31.6 per cent. higher than the average prices between 1890 and 1899. The highest prices in: this decade were reached in October in 1907, when a general decline which continued unti] August, 1908.

Then followed a sight decline, und from June to December, 1910, prices remained nearly level and at the close of the calendar year 1910 they were still 30 per cent. higher than the ten-year average between 1890 and 1900 and 45.4 per cent. hagher than the record set by the _|the accompaniment.

While the general opinion has been that the public generally woul not know the difference on acoount of the Supreme Court's decision in the Standand Oil and tobacco trust cases, there can ‘be no doubt that the effect of these decisions is whole- Some, and there is reason to hope for beneficial results. The Greens boro Record, a very conservative pa-| per, takes this view in the case of the tobacdo trust, and says: The decision of the United States Supreme Court in the tobacco trust case, followed by the finding of the jury in the civil action just tried at Raleigh, may have a broader effect than anticipated. Should the result be as now seems probabile, the re- vival of competition, there will be a new line-up in business. While tha American Tobacco Company has made its millions, it has been done by crushing competition. It has a mint of money and can still go ahead and make milions more, but it will nev- er be able to run rough-shod over the people as it has been doing. With all its money, however, we pee now and then some concerm that bas weathered the storm, though these companies are the exception, while the ruin of countless oth- ers ie etill fresh in the public mind. Towns that fought the trust when it first waded in to destroy its com- petitors, gave up and welcomed the huge trust with open arms, seeing, or thinking, there was nothing elbe to do. These same towns will of coufee etand to the company, for maturally they want to aid manu- factories of all kinds, yet the along that Gov, Kitohin is a can- *| didate for United States Senator, no formal apmouncement of his candi- dacy has been made. News comes from Raleigh, ivowever,that the Governor’s friends are organizing avd that letters are being sent out announcing hie candidacy; and thet theGovernor willin the near future make an address at some point in the State—time and ptace to be an- pounced—in which he wild tell the people why he thinks be should be sent to the Senate. Meantime, while the war is being made on Senator Simmons, Gov. Kitchin is sot being neglected. The Raleigh News and Observer, which hates Simmons end Kitchin impartially aad is supporting Gov. Aycock, prints ia its Sunday issue letters from Ed- itor Misenheimer, of the Madison (Rockingham county) Herald, - and ex-State Senator Lockhart, of An- son,in which theGovernor’s attitude on the trust question—particularly toward the American Tobacco. Com- pany—bdefore and after hia election is contrasted. He is cherged with promising,in his campaign,to do se- rious things to the tobacco trust and other trusts, and with having failed to do anything of consequenc after his election, although impor tuned to do so by friends . who stood with him in his campaign. The News and Observer not only prints these changes but gives them editorial endorsement. They will of course be made prominent by the friends of Mr. Simmons. All of which means that the senatorial campaign is not only umder way, more than a year before a primary can be held, but that the fight is jalready warm. trust will find that its profits will not be so stupendous as heretofore. | Perhaps other towns, where the | handling and manufacture of tobac- | ©o have been throttled, will wake up and enter business and there will be! Detter times all round. —— ; Tbe mayor of Rock Hilf, S. C., is| @ gentleman who sticks to his knit- | ting. A street car franchise ; was) desired in his town; the mayor thought the city should be paid for | it; the aldermen thought not, but the mayor stood pat and now it is ammounced that the city will receive $56,000 for the franchise. Some of ws are so anxious for a bird that we let the one we have get away trying to catch ai second one.— Greensbdro Record. Formerfy towns were so anxious for developmem that they were will ing to give all sorte of bonuses and concessions for even the promise of an industry, only to realize after- ward that they had not only given away valuable franchises from which they should have derived a revenue, but that ‘these very conces- Sions were often used to oppress the citizenship in the way of extor- tionate charges. There is no excuse these days for municipalities giving away valuable franchises to public service conporations. If the right to operate a Ddusiness in the streets ‘and thoroughfares, which belong to the public, is worth something, then the citizens whose property is eased for the purpose, should have a Snare in the ~ profits. LAberal concessions should be made, but the absolute gift of a public franchise for a generation, or two or three generations, is quite another mat- ter. The mayor of Rock Hilt hasse &@ worthy example. | Many reasons are givem for the @epreasion in the cotton mill industry the past three years. One reason Suggested is that the women of the country have stopped wearing petticoats. The president of the American Cctton Manufacturers’ As- sociation holds the petticoat view. In a recent address toGeorgia manu- facturers, on ‘“‘The Present Condi- tions in the Cotton Mill In dustry,” he said: “The present stagmant condition of the cotton mill business, howev- ér, is not only a question of over- Production and the results of high- priced cotton, but we are also con- fronted with an under-coneumption ef cotton fabrics, and when 40,- 000,000 women in the United States stop wearing petticoats, and use only five yards of cloth to make a skirt instead of 12 to 15 yards, and when no sleeves are worm, and they use no bmid or trimmings on their skirts, then the braid mille suffer, the yarn mills guffer and the oboth Manufacturers suffer, and it is to be Jevoutly hoped that the fashion pendulum wil swing in the other direction, and that a larger demand will be made by the women for the production of the Souther, mills.’”’ It is now up to the patriotic wo- men of the country to change the It has been a matter of concern on this side of the water that in the event of a war between the United States and Japan a_ treaty existing between Engiand and Ja- pan would compe} the former coun- try to take up arms against us. While, war is not in sight, one can’t tell what may happen, and thus it is very pleasing to know that the Anglo-Japanese pact has been mod- ified so as to make impossible the contingency mentioned. While it is greatly to be hoped that war be- tween first claas nations of the earth wi'l be known no more, it is best to he prepared for contingen- cies; and if such a calamity as war between the Uniited States and Ja- pan should come to pass, it is a re- Hef “to*know that we will not have England to fight at the same time. EN The assistant tax assessors of Watauga county either had an ex- aggerated idea of the value of seal estate in that county or the county aseessor believes in a bow valuation. In a report to the boand of equahiza- tion the county assespor, J. C. Fletcher, recommends a reduction of from 10 to 35 per cent. in the valuation made by the assistant assessors in every township in the county—a total reduction of $354,844 in the real estate valuation made by..the __aspistant..assessors. la it possible that the assistant assessors could have been so far wrong? The latest sensation in politics is that the friends of Gov. Kitchin will put a candidate in the field for Governor against Mr. Locke Craig, to whom the nomination has been conceded, on account of the fact that Mr. Craig is a Simmons sympathizer in the senatorial race. This news comes from Raleigh and may or may’not be correct. Mr. C. W. Tillett, of Charlotte, is again mentioned for Governor, as a repre- sentative of the Kitchin forces, and there is a suggestion that Lieut. Gov. Newland, an avowed candidate, may be the favored one. Mhe Charlotte Observer refers to the map issued by the government which showe that neanly 15,000 miles of transcontinental, inter-Gtate and trunk line roads are contempllated im the various sections of the coun- try. Noting the different lines pro- jected, the Observer says: The Central highway, from More- head City, N. C., on the Atlantic ocean, to Paint Rock, on the French Broad river, Tenn., through Golds- boro, Raleigh, Greensboro, Salis- bury, Charlotte and Asheville, N. C 460 miles.

The origina! agreement, which was signed August 12, 1905, dnecluded e‘ght articles and a préambie. Article 3, of the original agree ment, of especial interest. to the United States, read: “If, by. reason of unprovoked attack or aggressive action wherever arising on the part of any other power or powers, either contracting party should be involved iu war in defence of ite temnitoria) rights or specia) interests mention- ed in the preamble of this agree- ment, the other contracting party will at once com? to the assist- ance of its ally and wil] conduct the war in common and make peace in mutual agreement with it,” This clausé made it possible that in the event of war between the United States and Japan, the arms of Great Britain would be turned against their cousins on this side of ithe Atlantic. To make impossi- ble such a contingency, a revision of the treaty has been urged in high places and an Associated Press dis- patch from Tokio, on July 11, set forth that Japan, being convinced that wer with the United States was beyond belief, readily agreed to such a qualification of the treaty as would make possible a permanen( arbitration treaty between England and America.

Each Has a Say About the Gircue larn—Extracts From the Latter. Following the speech of Mr. Sim- mons, State Chairman Eller issued a statement in which he quotes, the reference to “Chairman Elfer’s pledge’ and the statement that the people of North Carolina rebelled agninet the declaration of the Dem- ocratic party—in favor of free um-~ ber—‘“to such an extent as to |make it manifest tothe chairman of |the Democratic executive commit- |tee of that State (Mr. Biller) that we ;wWere in danger of losing the oo jof the State as the result of that | declaration.” Continuing, Mr. Eb \ler said: | “*Thig is the first time that Sena- |tor Simmons, Mr. Maxwell, or any jother person ever suggested sich | danger to me and itis the first time jthat such a thought ever entered |my mind. I deny that thie article lreferred to, which appeared in 8 supplement onOctober 29,1908, was | intended by.me to qualify the declar- jation of the party in its national platform. This document has been lor twin to bySenatorSimmons once ——- or twice before, but I had deemed it | ueCessaTy to refer to this subject jin North Carolina, as I have had imo reason to believe that the chair man of the State Democratic execu- tive committee is thought to be um- true to the platform of his party,er tainted with the Republican doctrine of protection. Since,however,a par- tial extract of this article has been {ujected into national politics be cause of the prominence of our iw the Northwestern States, along | the Canadian line, who desire keep Canadian lumber out to mo- nopolizd the boca] trade. In ooii- clusion Mr. Ross says: “The truth is the South’s two chief products, cotton and humber, cannot be pro- tected by the tariff since we pro- duced a surplug of both. Every piece of machinery that we use in Manufacturing the one and cuiltivat- ing the other is added ‘a cost of 25 to 50 per cent., as a result of the tariff schedule.” After Chairman Eller’s letter was published last week Mr. Max- well published a long statement in which he says, referring to the cir- cular: ‘4 know that the article was not intended to be, and that as a mat- ter of fact it was not then, is not now,.and never will be a repudia- tion Sr a single line in the Demo- cratic nathonal platform of 1908, an« no amount of iteration and reitera- tion can make that out of it. It was pre-eminently the application to the tariff plank of that platform of ‘the rule of reason,’ assuring the lum- ber interests that while the plat- form did calf for the placing of lumber on the free Met, that the very same plank in the pdatform assailed the tariff protected trusts of the county, and that this part of it, which would conéer benfit upon them, would be held as sacred by *he sentinels of Democracy as would that part of it which they thought wouhd runt them.’’ Mr.Maxwelt then defends the po- silion of Senator Simmons and oth- ers who voted for a duty on lumber, holding that inasmuch as the duty Wis not reduced or removed from | materials entering into the manu- facture of lumber, they were jus- tified in refusing to vote to remove dietinguished Senator, and the wide reach of the forum from which he speaks, it seems proper that the facts should be better understood. “During the campaign of 1908, I was assisted by Mg A. J. Maxwell as manager of the literary bureay He was a newspaper man of expe rience, but was at that time engag- ed in the lumber business, He was, as | understood him, in perfect sympathy and accord with the” na- tional Democratic platform, Senator Simmons wis several times at Dem- ocratic headquarters. Together these gerctl._men discussed in my presence the lumber question, stating the stroagest arguments against protet- Democratic position, but at no time was it suggested that the party al Democratic platform should be departed from. I did not have the time, nor did I deem it necessary to read ait of the many excellent ar- ticles written by Mr. Maxwell.

Southern product, junless there should be coupled with lit the placing upon the free lst of jalt articles entering into competi- {tion with trust-controlled articles as | ther platform demands, and which | would tend to largely cheapen the lexpenses of the manufaeture of ‘lumber. This argument should ap- |peal with great force sto thé pro- | ducers of lumber, for there is 10 iether line of manufacture in the country more heavily taxed by the | truste.”’ | Then Mr. Maxwell argues that jthe tariff is no benefit to South- jern lumber, and further: | “The great scare-crow held up |before the Southern lumberman is |the competition with Canadian lum- | ber. It has often been stated that ;our Southern lumber does not com- ;Canada, and as a substantiation of that fact we actually exported to 'Canada in the last year 1907, lum- |ber to the value of $4,902,910." |Added to this was the statement |that the price of exports is fixed in |the market where the product is sold jand it is pointed out that the ex- | $39,861,352.

Hiili,chief Statistician for fevigion and re Bulis, in the census bureau, a pre- liminary coumt of the population im institutions comprising prigons, ém- stitutions for juvenile delinquents, almchouses and inetitutions for the inégane or feebleminded. The enu- meration includes the number pres- ent in the mstitutions on January 1, 1910, and the numbers admit- ted an discharged during the year 1910. A few institutions still re- main to be heard from. . Ascomding to this preliminary count ¢ha prison population on Jan- uary 1, 1910, was 109,311; the ad- missions or commétments to prisan during the year 1910 were 462,530, and the number of prisoners dis- charged during that year on ac count of expiration of sentence, oT other reagons,including also deaths, was 458,996. The last previous census of pris- oners was taken June 30, 1904, and at that time the prison population was 1,772, and the admissions or commitments during that year 149,- 691. These figures, however, are not comparable with those for the year “1910, for the neason that the 1910 enumeration included cases of imprisonment for non-payment of fines, while the census én 1904 did not include euch cases. Accordiugly, the marked increase in prison population, and especially in commitments, does not reflect an increase im crime, but is largely accounted for by the difference in the scope of the twe censuses. The census bureau willl be able iater to separate from the 1910 figures the cases of imprisonment for non- paymeut of fine and thereby ob tain a ‘igure which will be fairly comparable with the enumeration of six years ago. The number of juvenile delin- quents reported at the census of 1910 im inetitutions for that class was 22,903. This differs but little from the oumber reported in 1904 which was 23,034. The number of paupers in alms houses January 1, 1910, was 83,944. The number admitted during the year 1910 wae 106,457, amd the number discharged or dying during ‘that year was 100,858. Im 1904, the Pauper population wae 81,764, at the beginning of the year; the admis- @ions during the year were 81,412, and the discharges or deaths, 77,- 886. ‘The enumeration of the inaane fm esytums indicated a striking im crease in this class of the popula- tion. In 1904 the number of imaane ty instioutions wae 150,151. Im 1910 this number had increased to 184,- 123, am imcrease of 22.6 per cent. in six years. The number of comit- ments to ingame asylums during the year 1904 was 49,622, and dur- ing the year 1910 was 59,628, an im crease of 20.2 per cent. Im 1904 the feeble-minded in in- stitutions numbered 14,347; mm 1910 the number was 20,139. The nam- der of commitments to imstitutions ot thts class increased from 2,599 in 1904 to 3,848 tn 1910.

Blaine, the president of the Ladies’ MNail- ors’ Aesociationu, animadverts upon the shape of the American woman in a way that should make him for- ever persona non grata to that flow- er of creation. ‘Paris tailors and dressmakers,” he gays, ‘create de signs for Contifiental women, amd in Europe there is stil a tinge of Or'ental vulgarity to the femi- nine ideal. “Ou y the Russian woman of the highest class approachea the per- fection, the ideality of the American woman's figure. “French women are slighter and less evenly developed than American women. It is possible for them to wear a hobbte skirt without looking ridiculous. The American woman cannot do this. She is too well de- veloped. Her hips ame too pro nouuced and her stride is too long and tree for the hobbled effect. “We are going to try, to induce our patrons to wear longer skirts. A well developed woman in a school girl skirt is a show.” Mr. Mills Has Trouble With a Stranger at Black Mountain. Asheville Gazette-News, 17th. Over the long-distance telephone from Black Mountain it wae learn- ed today that Proprietor Mills [M W. R. Mills, of Statesville], of the Gladattor > hotel, was knocked ub conscious by an umknown’ man, trav- elimg in ap automobile, about 4 o’chock yesterday afternoon. It was stated that Mr. Mills was not se riously injured and seemed to be all right today. According to the report, a man, supposed to be from Asheville, trav- eling in an automobile with a lady, another manand the driver, stopped at the hotel. The man went into the hotel and asked for something to drink of a lady who was tempo- ratily in charge of the hotel. She showed him the watér Godler “and he rephied that he wanted something stronger and she told him there was nothing stronger. After the Man had gone away. Mr. Mills heard of the occurrence and met the man befiore the machine left the town. They had some words and the men came to blows. They were separated when it is said that Mills cursed the man again, who then struck bim a hard blow with his fist, to such purpose that Mr. Mills was ren dered umconscious for some time. It is not known who the man was, that inflicted the blow. Amother story told here of the oc- currence was to the effect that the stranger was ugly at the hotel and that this was the reason the pro- Drietor sought out the man; the re- port also was to the effect that after the men were separated the stranger followed the hotel proprie- tor, and when the proprietor turned he was etruck down.

The little girl ran out and jumped on the tongue of the threshing machine and fell. A wheel of the thresber Tan over and crushed her head, causing instant death. Mr. Festerman is billing clerk at the depot here. Mrs. Festerman, mother of the child, is aick and the tragedy is the more distressing by reason of this fact. The little @irl was 6 or 7 years old, and has a twin brother. Funeral services will be conduct- @d at Concord church tomorrow at 12 o'clock and the interment will be there. ee _ Assailant of Mr. Holtom's Son Ar- rested. “Bud” Hoskins, the negro youth wauled in Winston to answer for a deadly assauk on a youmg son of District Attorney Holton lagt April, is tn jail bere and will likely be tak- eo to Winston for trial within the pext few days. his identity.

Armour, of the vicinity of Davideon, was found hitched in the woods near the Kest- ler bridge, two miles south of Statesville, , Wednesday morning and Mr. Armour came here after it yesterday. Mr. Armour discovered Wednesday morning that the horse, a saddle and bridle had been taken from his stable and*he immediate- ly notified officers at nearby points. Deputy Sheriff Ward, of Statesville, went to work on the case and he and a citizen who aided him found the horse where it had been aban- doued. The officers think they are on the trail of the horse thief and bis arrest is expected. The same night Mr. Armour's was taken the exprése Davidson horse fice and a residence at were entered. Four gallons of booze and other packages e tak- en from the express office and two or three hams were stolen from the residence.

When Mr. Hurlbut conchded Mr. Foirbanks operated the picture ma- chine, while Mr. Boykin explained the pictures and made the most forci- ble arguments for good roads and their proper construction that could possibly be made. The pictures were actual photographs showing good and bad roads and the various conditions attending both; the dif- ferent kinds of roads were shown, |their durability and cost and the |methods of construction being ex- | plained. The importance of the _proper location of the roads and their maintenance was stressed by Mr. Boykin and the Iredehh commis- sioners wcre urged to adopt a meth- od of maintenance as the roads are buik. The county was commend- ed for the step taken and the en- gineer said that we and all other counties which have done likewise will find it to be the best invest- ment ever made. , From the theater the crowd went to the depot and visited the exhibit car, where miniature road machinery was in operation and the models of roads could be seen. The models show the various kinds of material used in construction and the methods and stages of oon- struction, all of which was explain- ed to the visitors by the engineers A visit to the car Is a good edu- cation #n road building. The train consists of three cars—the exhibit car, a lecture car where the stere- opticon views may be shown and the living car for the party with the train.

Newspaper Writer Accidentally Kill- ed. Asheville Dispatch, 19th. Facts relative to the tragic death at Paint Gap, Yanoey founty, late Monday afternoon of Alvin Horton, a well-known newspaper writer,were learned here tonight from a citizen ot Yancey.

He chesed the rabbit for a skort distance, when, stepping on a piece of rail, which broke beneath his w , the gun was thrown from his ‘hand as be pitched forward. As the weapon struck the grotind it exploded and the bullet entered Horton's side, inflicting the fatal wound. The re- port of the gun brought assistance. Horton lived only about ten minutes after the shooting, but bong enough to tell those that went to him that it was an accident and how the ac cident occurred. {Horton waa a native of Yan- cey, a graduate of the University and had~become”-prominent—-ae-@ newspaper writer. ] A Damage Suit That Failed.

The paper is now car- rying very. interesting letters on political conditions in the State, especially with reference to the sen- atorial race. The position of State proxy for the North Carolina Rajlroad Compe- ny may not. be a position of great importance and it carries no emolu- ments, but Gov. Kitchin has nam- ed no better man for any position within bis gift than Joseph M. Reece, the editor of the Greens- boro Record, who was last week giv- em this uneought honor. Col. Reece, as the press boys call him, is a8 modest as he is true, and it ig not surprising thet he tried to run away from the job, but the modest. men who don’t seek jobs are often the best fitted. for them. The honor may cot be a great one—and Col. Reece is worthy to be president of the road—but if they can hod him in the office in which he has been drafted he will be as faithful anv conscientious in the discharge of his duties as if he were ruler over many things. . The drought this year has re- eglied the notabie dry year of 1881. The drought of 1881 was notable, Probably the most severe, in this e@ectidn at least, since the civil war. The opinion has been ex- pressed that the drought this year is as bad as that of 1881, This whiter doesn't know how the rain- fall of the present year compares with that of 1881, as weather sta- tions amd records were not 80 ‘*ommon nor so well kept then as now, but he is of the opinion, so far as this sectiqn ie concerned, that the present drought, generally Speaking, is mot near so disastrous as that of 1881. The modern method of farming—<specially deep Plowing, shallow cultivation and “tbe conservation of moisture—has ‘lepabled the crops Stand the drought much than they would under the methods of fatm- fing extant in 1881. Bmt the drought thie year is severe in spots only. While there is a general shortage of rainfall,-it has been sufficient im moat localities to make-good crops MZ the moisture continues sufficient while the crops are maturing this Month and next. In some localitics Cfops are almost a failure and in ‘those conditions are as bad as in _* the noted dry year of ’81. But ' these localities are comparatively . few, Our recollection fs that the drought of 1881 was general, in thie section of North Carolina at least; there were few if any favor- a spots and’ the crop failure wa: almost general, 4 .

Lxpenses ‘ot Candidates For Con- gress Limited——Must Make Public Promises of Office and Money Spent. Washington Dispatch, 17th, The most drastic campaign-pubiic- ity legislation ever passed in either branch of Congress was adopted by the .Senate late today, practically without a dissenting vote. Using the pre-election publicity bill. passed by the House of Representatives as a basis, the Senate constructed during the day a proposed law with the following important features: No candidate for the Senate or House shall expend in the election More than ea sum equa) to 10 cents for each voter in his district orState. No senatorial candidate shall spend a total of more than $10,000 in the primary and. general election; and no candidate for the House shall spend more than $5,000. Pubiftity must be given to alt primary campaign contributions and expenditures, : All general election’ expenses must be made public before the eleo- tion, noting fifteen days defore election making publication, -each pix days 1 election. Al ‘omises of political jobs must be made public. The bill further makes it illegal to promise politica) Places in order to secure election support; or to aid in influencing the election of any member of theGtate Legislature. The bilk will be the subject of probably prolonged cdénference be- tween the-two hauses. It originated in theHouse as a part of theDemo- cratic legislative programme and was designated to require the publication of expenditures before |‘ election, which is not required by the existing parblicity law. The Republicans in the House un- successfully attempted to extend the till to cover primary election expenses. In the Senate the prima- ry election ame t,coupled. with more radical amepbaaer were adopted with litthe opposition. The Senate amendments author ized by the Committee on privileges and élections nequire publiicit: of all primary election expehses and all pledges of political jobe or favore. Some objection to this was made on the ground that primary elec- tions were not within the control of Congress. The amendment was fi- nally adopted, however, by a vote of 50 to 7, Senators Bacon, Bailey, Barkheéead, Johnston, Bryan,. Over- man aud Taylor voting against it. The more rigid portion of the bill, Hmiting the amount a senatorial or congressional candidate may spend in any election and pro- bibiting the making of al) campaign pledges, was proposed by Senator Reed, of Missouri, and adopted only after a long debate. Senator Reed referred to the campaign expense statement filed by Senator Stephenson, of Wiseon- sin, showing expenditures of ap- proximately $107,000 and to gtiher large sums spent by senatorial can- didates. He finally offered an amendment putting the total expend- itures by’ any candidate ata sum not to exceed 10 cents a head for the voters in the candidate's State. Senator Borah said this would per- mit a senatorial candidate in New York to spend nearly$200,000 in his electior while the candidates in Nevada could spend only about $1,- 000. i was de- to PASSES THE MAIN ~THING, Directors and Officers of the North Carolina Railroad Company Di» turbed About Free Transportation ~—ol.

The country’s exports for the firet time. exceeded the two-villion-dollar mark, while the imports were sec- ond only to last year’s. The year wound up with a balance of trade of more than $520,000,000 in favor of American business. This ia $332,- 900,000 more than last year’s bal- ance but was exoeeded by the rec- ord, year of 1908 and the years 1901, 1900 and 1899. Fifty per cent. of the imports entered the country free of duty, being greater than at any time in the history of the trade except in 1892-93-94, when sugar was being imported free under the MoKinley tariff law. The total value of mer- chandise entering free, however, was farger than im any year heretofore. Qa Horrible Crime in Rockingham.

It ie the secret promise of political reward for services ren- @ered that forms a large element of corruption in politics. Many a man has been elected to office in this State through the aid of workers whose inspiration, secretly given, was the promise of an office. It is a form of bribery that needs to be weeded out of politics and there is no surer way to weed it out than to requireallauch promises to be made openly. Then the man who works for a candidate through’ mo- tives purely of friendship may be easily distinguished from the man who is doing it for political reward —-and the latter class would soon make its Gaappearance. The Chronicle is entfrely right. The best feature of the bill is the requirement that promise of places @ust be made public; and the use of money should be cut down. The Landmark's only criticiem of the bill is that it allows the expend- Mure of more money than is neces- wary.

Mr. and Mrs. Sigman were driving along south. Mulberry street, when their horse became frightened at Mr. A. P. Steele’s automobile and dash- ed down the steep grade on MuJber- Try, between Front and Sharpe streets. At a point near the resi- dence of Mr. S. H. Garrison the horse awerved and the buggy struck | a bank, throwing Mrs. Sigman out of the buggy against the bank with much force. Mr. Gerrison, who wit- nessed the accident, ran to Mrs. Sigman and with the aid of Mr. Steele, who hurried to the scene ‘n his automobile, placed her in the machine and took her to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Deaton, on Western avenue, where she has since been under the care of a physician. It was found that three or four ribs were broken and she was otherwise injured by the fall but the injuries are ndt considered very serious. Mr. Sigman was unable to stop his horse until it reached a point near the graded. school, where he was aided in subduing the animal by some of the street hands who are grading Mulberry street. By the time he got back to where his wife was thrown out she had been placed in the auto and was ready to be tak- en tothe home of her parents,where she desired to go, and Mr. Sigman accompanied her there.

They were jnaturally much surprised and ‘‘be- fuddled’”” when they opened their eyes and realized their predica- ment, and their actions and what they said furnished great amuse ment for the other prisoners in the jail. The liquor which they j had been drinking was evidently very ‘‘mean.”’ The negroes sobered up during the night and yesterday morning all four were taken before Justice King for a hearing.

Hall's Drug Store, ib it THE LANDMARK TUESDAY, July 25, 1911. re aa COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS Rudolph Dubhrkoop,of Berlin, Ger- many, who is attending the annual Meeting of the American Photog- raphers’ Association at St. Paul, Minn.,’ makes bold to say that “American women do not know how to pose for a photograph” and this is “the reason the workd does not know that they are the most beautiful of all women.” Mr. Duhr- koop further avers that he has “but One main mission in coming to this country, and that is to show Ameri- @an women that they have not the slightest idea of how to pose for a photograph. If they learned this art, the world would stand a better chance of knowing their wonderful beauty.” All of which is very fine. American men do not need to be told that American women are the prettiest in the world, but if Mr Dubrkoop’s remarks are sincere and disinterested, we are beholden to him, just the same. We have a suspicion, however, that this Ger- Man has an eye to busingss; that he purposes to open a studio in this country and by putting out the word thac he can show the women mew stuuis in posing which will meveal a charm heretofore undream- ed of, he will do a land office busi- mess. And he wil) that same. * s s Polite and courteous treatment is an obligation we owe to those with dnsist that the suapender or must somehow, in some form, preserved. The Landmark never keeps up with the style, and since the article’ appeared in this paper which is the basis of the Ol er’s remarks, its atten: has been called to the in- side€ der, which has been in use for some time. Its friends main- tain that the ineide-euspender is more serviceable and comfortable than the okl-style, once you get in the way of it. The inside-suspen- der may fill the bill. In any event The Landmark is standing for the suspender or something that wilb put the weight of the ‘‘breecha- loons,” as Col. Fairbrother calls them, on the shoulder instead of the meager dependence of the hip catch. mn es s s “The Mecklenburg assessment,” says the Charlotte Chronicle, “is not high in comparison with other coun- ties.’ Certainly it isn’t. But in the past certain Mecklenburg citi- zeng have Made it a habit to point to the aggregate taxes paid by that county and insist that because of the eize of the aggregate the county was entitled to various and sun- dry considerations. Mecklenburg is a large and wealthy county, but in proportion to what it has we have no idea it pays any more taxes —and we sertously question if it pays as much, considering what it actually has—as the average North Carolina county. This is not a criticism of Mecklenburg, but it is whom we come in contact. But} @part from the fact that polite and | eonsiderate treatment is right and | Proper, this quality is e most valua- | ble asset, if one chooses to consider | it only from that viewpoint Qne who ig cheerfully and unaffectedly | genial, polite and kindly not oaly | Makes a good impression, but a friendly greeting or considerate) treatment friends. “A courteous act on the part of William R. O'Neal, of Bain- bridge, Ga, has been rewarded. | When O’Neat exchanged a lower for | an upper sleeping-car berth with J. | T. Young, of Oakland, Cal, four years ago, when the two men were @n route to Fiorida, where Mr. | Young was going for his health, he thought little of the incident. Evi- dently Mr. Young considered it a Great favor, for in his will he left ‘$20,600 to the Georgian, who is 26 gears etage.” Stories of this kind @re not unéommion, and not always true, but they iliustrate the fact that politenéss pays. One should often makes iasting |age small taxpayer pays much more again pointing to the pernicious and unjust systeni prevalent in the State. The citizen of wealth boasts on oc- casion of the amount of taxés he pays, demands special consideration on account thereof and views with contempt the tribute of the smaller taxpayer. And yet a just and strictly accurate estimate of the holdings will show that the aver- in proportion to what he has than his wealthy neighbor, for as a rule all the former’s holdings. are taxed and taxed nearer their actual worth than those of his neighbor; for the custom is, the more valua- ble the property, the less the as- Sessment in proportion to value. This is exactly the case of the larg- er and wealthier counties as com- pared to the smaller ones. The former usually pay less in propor- jtion to what they actually have than the smaller counties, : ° . * Friday, 21st, was the fiftieth an- niversary of the battle of Bull Rua, be polite because it is good manners | and not asa matter of policy; but in jcalled Manassas by the Confeder- as it was called by the Federals, ates.

The reasons assigned for the recall do not seem to be weighty. Cer- tainly saving the sidewalks free to pedestrians and excluding cows and hogs from the city would seem to be more of a progressive than 6 retrograde movement. The chief and best feature of the commission form -of government is that it shall conduct the business of a mumicipal- ity in a business way. This would mean to get the most efficient men at Ghe least cost and -the question of residents or non-residents should not figure. On this issue, therefore, the Wilmington commissioners may mot have erred. Until the people generally realize the difference be- tween conducting a municipality on a business basis and conducting {t for the benefit of those in con- | trol, and their friends, the commis sion form will of course be objec- tionable.

ANOTHER. McOUE CASE. When the story of the killing of Mrs, Henry Beattie, while riding in an abtomobile with her husband, m the vicinity of Richmond Tuesday night, appeared in Wednesday’s pa pers, many people who remembered the McCue case in Virginia were doubtless impressed with the simi- Yarity 4f the tragedies; and before it wes announced that Beattie was suspected of killing his wife many of those who followed the case sus- pected that it was another McCue case; and so it seems to be, The ev- idence is so strong that there is practically no doubt that Beattie is guilty. J. Samuel McCue, many readers wili recall, was a promi- pent citizen of Charbottesville and tad been mayor of that town. On Sunday night, in September, 1904, Mrs. McCue was found dead in her bome, having been beaten, choked and sffot. McOue said that when they returned from * church they found a burglar in the house who attacked them, stunned him with a blow, and when he recovered he found Mrs. McCue dead. As evi- dence of his injury there was a ‘wound on his face. Suspicion was goon directed to McOue and three days later he was arrested. While tite evidence was entirely circumstan- tia) he wag promptly convicted and wap bung fp less than six months after the murder, notwithstanding every effort,backed by money and in- fimence, even to an. application to the Supreme Court of the United States, was made to save him. In the McCue case -as in the Beattie case, there was another woman, but Opposing Senator Wiiliemsa’ tt to snensenteah $50,000. from the Feder~ al Treasury toward the cost of a Con federate naval monument at Vicks- burg, the New York Sun says, in part: ‘We believe that the Confed- erate soldiers and sailors have a finer sense of the fitness of things. The valor, the enfurance, the noble patience of Confederate fighting men were and are beyond praise, Alive or dead, bet them and their memories continue to stand far and bonorably apart from the crush and wallow about the Federal trough.” We, too, question the good taste of Mr. Wiiliame’ bill, at beast pending anoiher generation’s life. And we cordially appreciate the tribute to Confederate soldiers. which the Sun has paid. We may well believe that the demoralizing and debauching effect of pensions upon Federal soldiers —the G: A. R. becoming essentially a grab machine—is not worth what it costs.—Charlotte Ob- server. The Landmark very much regrets this attempt to get money out of the Federal Treasury for Confederate monuments. It is in bad taste and once the bars are let down there will be a flood of applications that will not only overwhelm theTreas- ury but will so demoralize theCon- federate veterans that they will be regarded, as the Federal yeterans @re now generally regarded, as ex- isting for what they can pull out of the Treasury, by fair means or foul. The New York Sun could not have put it better or stronger when it says, “Alive or dead, let them and their memories continue to stand far and honorably apart from the crush and wallowing about the Fed- eral trough.” The Salisbury Post hears that the persimmon crop is almost a com- Plete failure in Rowan this year, but the ‘“‘muscadine crop will be a bumper.“ Too bad if the ‘simmon crop is a feilure and we’re deprived of locus’ and ‘simmon beer, but wine can be made out of the musca- dines, Gov. Kitchin has made reply to the critics of his anti-trust record; to the charge that he was long on this part of it wastnot brought out fin the MoCue case. The man main- | tained his imnocence almost to the | fast. After death a confession that be was guity, which had been en- trusted _to his spiritual advisers, wes made public. It was brief and gave no details. From éhe similarity of the two cases one would thimk that Beattie bad patterned his crime on the McCue Imes, but considering Mc- Cue's fate it ie amazing that he had \the nerve to carry it out, more es pecially since it seems to be a settled fact, iNustrated im the MoCue case, and in the earlier Cluverius case, that wealth and influence do not wave Men from the death penalty in Virginia. But it seeme that automo- “ties bad been fired on in the vi- “nity of Richmond and Beattie thought thie might save him from guapicion; and his mind was evident- ly 80 engrossed with the idea of getting rid of bis -wife, that he weemingly gave no thought to the tell-tale gun,or he placed too much confidence in his cousin to keep ' Becret the story of the purchase of the gun. —_—_—_— Most people were doubtlesg un- cer the impression that the Cana- dian reciprocity treaty would become Jaw a8 soon as passed by Congress aud signed by the President. The Senate passed the bill without amendment and when the President affixes his signature tomorrow the work will be completed so far us our government is concerned. But the agreement is yet to be ratified by the Canadian Parliament and as there is strong opposition. in Qan- ada to the treaty some time may elapse before it is ratified, although it is believed that it will finally be ratified. Therefore, with the single | exception of the paper section of | the treaty, none of its provisions will be operative until the Canadian Parliament agrees to it, and when President Taft. is advised that Can- ada has made the concessions agreed upon’ he will issue a proclamation which will put the treaty into ef- fect.

EEE President Gives Oredit to the Dem- ocrats For Rieciprocity. President Taft issued the follow- ing statement with reference; td the passage of the reciprocity bill: “That I am very much pleased with the passage of the Canadian reciprocity bill through both houses of Congress, goes without saying. I believe and hope it wili be followed by similar action by the Dominion Parliament. In my judgment, the going into effect of the agreement will mark a new epoch in the rela- tions between the United States and Qgnada and it will tend to a marked increase in the trade be- be in every way beneficial to both. “I swope the credit that belongs to Secretary Knox and his special as- sistants of the State Department in the negotiating and framing of the and their lucid explanayon and defence of its terms, will not be withhekh. “In a sense, the bill passed was a non-partiaan measure, though the Republicans who voted for it proba- bly did so on one economic theory and the Democrais who voted for it on another. “I should be wanting in straight- forward speaking, however, if I did not freely acknowledge the credit that belongs to the Democratig ma- jority in the House and the Demo- | cratic minority in the Senate, for their consistent support of the measure, in an earnest and sin- cere desire to Secure its passage. Without this reciprocity would have been impossible. It would not have been difficut for them to fasten upon the bill amendments affecting the tariff generally in such a way as to embarrass the Executive and |to make ‘doubtful whether he leould sign the bill, and yet to claim popular approval for their support of reciprocity in its defeat. In other words, the Democrats did not play politics in the colloquial sense in which those words are used, but they followed the dictates of a higher policy.”’ Last Republican Officeholder Eject- ed.

The celebration pf the fiftieth annivergary of the battle of Bull Ran, or First Manassas, participated in by veterans of theBlue and the Gray, which was in progréss all of last week on the battléfiela in Virginia, came to an end Friday with the visit of President. Taft. The President, a number of Senators and other prominent ee made the trip from Washington - automobiles. Rain had turned ne roads into mud and swelled the streams and the trip was 60 strénu- ous that they returned to Washing- ton by rail. The President was introduced by Governor Mann, of Virginia, who said “he is the President of the United States—our President, for Virginia claims to be more en- titled to call himPresident than any other State except Ohio. Mr. Taft is the son of Ohio and the grandson of Virginia.” When the crowd had stopped cheering the President referred with feeling to the dreadful logs of Hfe aud suffering during the cfvil war. “I don’t know,’ he said, “whether peaceful means coukd have accomplished the result which we all now know was best. I deplore war. I wish it could be abolished entirely. But we developed a strength during that struuggle of which the world did net know and which we ourselves did not un- derstand. We proved’to the world our ability to fight out our dffer- ences to the death and to reunite after the greatest civil war in his- tory to fonm the greatest nation in the wrold. “My greatest ambition aa Presi- dent of the United States ig to do everything that is sensible and reasonably possible to Dring al] sec- tions of this country even closer to- together. I want them all to fee) that the United States government is their government; that thePresident is their President and that the Su- preme Court is their Supreme Court.” Declaring that men who have been to war know what it is, and want no more of it, the President said: “Therefore, I hook to you. veter- ans of the civil war to aid in the movement for peace. Iam ghad to announce here today that as Eng- el they land has agreed to enter into an arbitration treaty with the Unit- | ed States, France has signified her | williugvess to enter into the same /| treaty . Both treaties will be signed | within ten days and I expect to be able to announce within a few days that three other nations have entered into the agreement. This news I bring to the veterans 6f a real war, because I know they will most appreciate permanent peace. “Virginia is a hospitable State. Its soft and its streams gather about you and cling to you.” Here shouts of laughter completely wa- ed the President's voice and, stopped speaking to join in laugh. The President concluded with a tribute to the beautiful sentiment which ingptred the Blue and Gray* reunion on the battlefield. Thén, standing beside the gray-clad Gov- eruor of Virginia, he posed for the photographers. The Presidents’ visit to Manashas was at the clope of the Manassas jubilee reunion. Each day that week there had been ceremonies comm em- orative 6f stirring war events, but Friday occurred the dramatic in- cident of the week—the advance of veterans in Blue and Gray- to meet and shake hands where they had fought 50 years before. Three hun- drea and fifty Confederates formed in a double line facing north, while a dozen yards away stood half that number of Union veterans facing south 7 At a signel the veterans ad- vanced with outstretched hands. Above the Southern line waved a small Virginia flag, the only stand- ard to be seen. Meeting, the veter- ans with clasped hands, stood for five minutes grouped about the little blue flag, vowing eternal friend- lship and recounting incidents of “fifty years ago.” Railroad Completed to Southport, Wilmington Dispatch, 22d.

Raleigh Dispatch, 2let, to Greens- boro News. Fiye corps of engineers are’ now in the field surveying the route of the Central Highway from. Béaufort to the Tennesese line, said State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt, at the Hote) Raleigh last night. The sur- veyiug has been completed in Car- teret, Craven and Lenolr counties aud H, C.

Miler in Davidgeon county, Mr. Vo- shell, of the United States office ot public roads, is now at work in Orange county, and Mr, Moorefield, also of the government office, is in McDowel} county. Mr. Moorefield has been ‘doing some work in Black Mountain town- ship ou the sand clay problem and is uow engaged in the most difficult task of the whole route, laying off the road down the Bilue Ridge thountains, Several tentative lines will be run before a definite route is decided along this part. Iredelb county, which recently voted a large bond issue, has its own county en- gineer at work. Dr. Pratt hopes to have a man inCaldwell county with- in the next two weeks and it is his aim to have the entire route sur- veyed by August 7—the week set apart as Good Roads week. During the. week of August 7 Dr. Pratt stated that it was hoped to have much of the highway built. Some of the counties,notably Crav- eu, Carteret, Lenoir and Johnston, are going rapidly ahead with the con struction of sand clay roads. The engineers are laying out a fine road, of easy grade and elimi- nating bad dips and hile. In some places it is neceseary to relocate the road; in others to ‘regrade the present roadbed, while in some in- stances the present bed is improv- ed, in othere it needs only surfac- ing. If every mam along the route pats in hig week’s work, the central |highway will soon be accomplished. Dr. Pratt says the surveyors on the crest of the Blue Ridge High- way, which is to run from Asheville to Blowing Rock across the OCraggy mountains, and Mitchell, are mak- ing fine progress, the camps being @cated at present in Stepp’s Gap nearMt.Mitchell.

That there exists a giguntic, Gountry-wide arson trust, with headquarters in Kansas City and representatives in nearly ali the large cities. the members of which make a business of setting fire to buildings to. enable the owners to collect large sums of insurance, was the charge made last week by C. J. Doyle, State fire marshal of Il- linois, in an address before the Chicago Association of Commerce. “The country is facing one oO the most gigantic organized arson conspiracies the world has ever known,” said Mr. Doyle. “The State fire marshal department of I}linois has united with the State fire marshale of Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio to wipe out the band of 15’men at the head of this arson conspiracy. The head of the fire- bug trust {is in» Kansas City, from which city the operations of the en- tire gang are directed. The tenta- cles of this octopus have extended as the daring of those behind the plot has grown into a dozen or more cities.

If the aggre- |gate crop this year should reach four- teen or fifteen million bales it will put 'practically all the cotton speculators on the bear side’ of the market and prices will drop to a level that will be disastrous to the farmers and to the business. interests of the South. When it is known that a fourteen million bale crop will bring less money than a twelve million bale crop, is there even a puny reason why farm- ers should want to plant fora fourteen- million-bale crop? Why waste so much labor and so muchenergy? Of course, it is too early yet to make anything like accurate estimates of the ager te yield of cotton this year, but there is little doubt that the acreage has been increased and un- less nature gets on the side of the Southern farmers and does what they ought to have sense enough to do for themselves—limit the aggregate yield to figures that will insure profitable prices to the grower, it looks now like there’s a bad time ahead for tne producers of cotton, and it may take several years to recover from the dis- aster of falling prices, which will sure- ‘ly come if there is an abnormally large / Is an asset of real wo good business man.

By a ruling of the State corporation tommission manufactured cotton goods placed in the hands of commis- sion merchants or agents in or out of the State are not to ed for assessment in the assessment of the value of the capital stock ofthe corporation, which is made by the corporation commission. The ruling is made in pursuance to the language of paragraph five of section 41 of t e | machinery act. | The matter was brought first to the attention of the commission by Mr. J. V. Price, tax assessor of Rockingham county, who, finding $600,000 worth | of cotton goods on hand owned by the | cotton mills of Spray, proceeded to put the amount on the books. The cotton mill men held that the goods ought not to be listed, that they were a solvent credit from which liabilities were to be deducted, that the cotton goods were in the hands of acommis- sion merchant and were under the machinery act really not to pay any tax, as the liabilities would wipe out the amount.

One of these guns has been made at the Washington factory and a dozen others are to follow as rapidly as the great lathes can turn them out. The gun has been tried out at the roving grounds and has shown that it is without doubt the most powerful naval weapon in the world. With a muzzle velocity of 2,400 feet a second, the shell will have a range of about 14 or 15 miles; consequently it will land far beyond the horizonat extreme elevation. It might hit a ship that the gunners could not see; a friend or an enemy, perhaps. The ordnance officers will be unus- Wally careful when ships mounting these great guns go out for target practice.

Thereupon both Henry and Paul Beattie were arrested and the for- mer was brought to the Richmond city jail, where he is in confinement tonight. Paul fell in a dead faint on being told he was under arrest and later wirithed in convulsions. He was so violent that he had to be handcuffed and, thus manacled, he was taken to the city home for medical treatment. He remains there tonight and is reported much better after the first shock of. his collapse. HenryC.Beattie, Jr.,was the first witness heard today. The Com- mouwealth’s line of questioning. indicated its belief that his wife was killed in the road where the large blood-stain was found, the automo- bile’s drip-pan having caught the hemorrhage after the body was placed in the car. Inguiry for the clothing worn by Mrs, Beattie brought out the start- ling fact that her clothing had been burned by her family, who, it was explained, wished to destroy that grewsome reminder of the tragedy. Beattie was on the stand for over two hours and in spite of all testa, such as the reconstruétion of the soene at the moment of the crime, etuck to his original account of the tragedy.

It does not foliow that the plague is likely to become epidemic in this country, for proper precautionary measures will preclude that. Howev- er, the plague is at our doors, and public health authorities,bothFeder- al andState,realize that they have a serious problem to handle. That they have the situation well in hand is generally recognized,but it is also recognized that conditiona might de- velop such that the United States would have a genuine cholera scare. The only grave danger is in the possibility of cholera’s breaking out in the congested tenement districts of New York and other large cities. To date all the cases discovered bave been among immigrants detain ed in quarantine. Al such cases can be handled without danger of further spreading of the plague, but one case in a New. York tenement that was not discovered promptly might develop the most serious con- sequences. Fortunately theFederal health of- ficers have been preparing for this emergency for more than a year.

Adutant Leinster's Close Call—Ne- gro’s Leg Broken-——Littie Boy Se- sme a Adjutant General Leinster, who came to Statesville Wednesday to attend the funeral of ‘his father, had a disagreeable experience at the bome. of his mother,on west Broad street, yesterday afternoon. by mistake he took a dose of kreso for cough medicine. Kreso is @ disinfectant and is poison. Prompt medical attention ‘soon relieved the adjutant general and aside from the burns inflicted by the medicine, which is something similar to car- bolic acid, he suffered little {lM effect. But for prompt medica! help the dose might have been fatai. ' While at work with a saw mild foree in the Oak Forest nejgh- borhood, yesterday afternoon, Dick Clark, a colored man who lives on Mr. J. Q Carter's place, was pin- med beneath a heavy log and one leg was badly mangled, the bone being broken in several places. A | Statesville physician was called to dress the injury. About 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon Oarl Sharpe, son of Mr. Lee Sharpe, of Concord township, fell from the water wagon of a thresh- ing outfit and sustained injury. He was riding on the wagon and fell off. The wheels passed over him, cutting a hole in the side of his head. His injury is not seri- ous. The boy {s about 10 old. Trains of Lumber Wagons North Iredell. Speaking of the enormous amount ef hauling over the Turnersburg road, a citizen of north Iredell mentioned in Statesville Wednesday afternoon that at the time he came up the hill at the river, Wednesday moming, four buggies and eleven wagons were ascending the hill. The wagons were loaded with lumber and each had about 900 feet. These trains of jtumber wagons come into Statesville daily and it is no wonder that deep ruts are worn fii the macadam of the Tur- nersburg road when the custom of the drivers of the wagons is ob served.. No matter how good the portion of the road not macadam- ized, as a rule the lumber wagons d4ravel on the macadam, one direct- ly behind the other, as they come in with the load and the return trip with empty wagons is made in the same manner. Often on the returm trip the horses trot along, making a _ great cloud of macadam dust which is blown away. The track or ruts of lumber wagons and others which follow this cus tom is visible from the Baptist church to the end of the macadam road. Judging from the amount of hum- ber that has been hauled in from north Iredelt during the past few years it will not be long until all the timber of that section is de- stroyed because the methods of the average saw mill force are not ip keeping with good forestry. Champion Checker Players at tha Gome. Alfred Jordan, the noted English checker player, said to be tue champion checker man of h's couury, who is making a tour of this. cuouaotry, visited Statesvilie Tuesiay snd spent the best part of the day at the Commervial club playing with the ,local check- er “cranks” Jordan was accompanied by F. B. Fishbburne,of Columbia,S. C.,known as the champion player of the South, and by Conductor Parker, of the Southern railway, who is a great checker player, and these in addition to the brag players of Statesville also contested with Jor- dan but none could equal him at the game. Many games were pillay- ed and Jordan won all of them. A purse of $15 was required to 8e- cure Jordan for the day and this was raised by. subscription among the local enthusiasts. The two champions and Condnc- tor Parker went from Statesville to Greenvisie, S. C., to attend a checker tournament.

Leinster and Mesdames R. P Mitchell and HW. P. Grier, of Statesville; Adjutant Gen- jeral R. L. Leinster, of Raleigh, and Mr. W. W. Leinster, of Washington. While James Wasson was sheriff of Iredell, early after the war, Mr. Leinster was a deputy, and he was for years an officer :t elections. He was quiet and reserved, having little to say except to intimate ac- quaintances, but with these he talk- ed freely. In reeent years he rarely went abroad except to Confederate reunions. He read much, was well posted on public affairs and always took an interest in the questions of the day. Claim Against the Government. Mr. Wm. Edwards, an attorney, now of Asheville, formerly of Ne- braska, and Mr. J. D. Perkins, an attorney of Virginia, came here yesterday to take depositiona in a claim Mr. HEdwards is prosecuting against the government for tobacco which was destroyed when Stone- man’s troops burned the depot at Statesville jin April, 1865. The claimant is Fredeking Ayers, of Hinton, W. Va., who is represented by Mr. Edwards, and $30,000 is the amount asked fer. Mr. Perkins represents the government. The tobacco was stored in the station when it was burned by the Federal troops. oo Remains of Mrs. Ervin Broaght Statesville For Burial. The remains of Mrs. Thos. B.

Concerning a Highway Through Da- vie. Copying what The Landmark had to say, about a road from Winston to Statesville, which would give travelers from New York to Ajtlan- ta and from the North to western North Carolina a more. direct route and would be a great saving in distance, the Mocksville, Record says: “We would be mighty glad to have the national andState highways pass through our county, and we beligve the people of Davie will do all they can to seoure it. The hands of the county commissioners are tied, so far as good roads £0, until the next Legislature meets. for we have a crazy law for this county, which prohibits the commis- sioners spending more than $500 per year on building or improving soads. We don’t know what it would cost to build a good road trom Hall's ferry to Oounty Line, a distance of aboyt 20 miles, but with the roads as they‘are now it would take several years under the present law.

THE LANDMARK FRIDAY, -— ~ July 28, 1911. OOMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS The Chatham Record maintains that Pittsboro has more automobiles iu propertion to pppulation than any other town in the State, the ratio being one machine for every 100 of population. Considering that Pittsboro has only 600 population it will be Seen that the number of Machines is not so many. eee . Gov. Kitchin insists that he hes lived up to the platform de- claration and to his pre-elec- tion promises with respect to trusts. He doesn’t claim that the Democratic State committee, or pomebody at headquarters, issued ‘ circular relieving him from the ob- Mgation to oppose trusts; neither - does he claim that his opposition was conditioned on the trusts or their friends doing something that it was well understood they would met do. ‘ s s s “Snobbishness is dividing the Church against itself in America,” avers Miss Clara Barge, secretary of the Women’s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episoopal Charch. “We must go back to the democratic ideals of our fathers and mothers, and it is up to the women to bring this about,” she gaid. “Women contro] the customs of society. One rich woman can @israpt the discipiine of any chu rch by her social misdemeanors and her efforts to outrival some other wo- mau." The last sentence is respect- _ fully submitted for consideration. Evidence of its truth can be found in almost any community. s se es The, nerviest burglar in the lime- ght in many moons did some busi- mess at the town of Nescopeck, Pa., a few days ago. W. C. Heckman, the proprietor of a bakery at Nes- oopeck, went out of town for a day with his family and closed his place of business. Then the burglar call- ed and entered the place by a side window. Instead of feeding on the eakes and pies and carrying away for future use, the natural course, this burglar proceeded to open the wtore and sell to all who would buy; ud he gave such bergains, which he could well afford, that there was @ rush to get ples and cakes at half price. When he had sold near- “all the stock on hand, the bur- ““glar pocketed ‘the proceeds and disappeared * ee A news dispatch telling of the encampment of the Massachusetts State militia, reveals some impor- tant changesin military methods,as follows: Modern methods of conducting a campaign are everywhere in evi- dence. The old lumbering army ‘wagon and the army mule is lack- fing, and in their place powerful au- tomobile trucks roll over the roads laden with supplies. AM of the staff officers have mounts, but most of them perform their duties from the comfortable Beat of a big touring car. Nearly all of the cayalry’s scouting duty is now performed on motorcycles. Go'ng to war in automobiles, on motor cycles and in flying ma- ohines is guite an innovation. Prob- ably the innovations will continue until war will oe abolished. s s s Piesident Taft does well give the Democrats credit for the passage of the reciprocity agreement and especially for their passing the opportunity to ‘‘play politics.’”” The reciprocity agreement is not : Democratic measure. If the Demo- erats had prepared it they would have changed it materially. They could have amended it and then left the responsibility with the Presi- Gent. But realizing that the meas- ure could go through in its origi- mal shape; that while it was not aH they wanted and not in the shape they would have it, that it was nevertheless a step in the direction of lower tariff duties, a removal of some of the restrictions Of foreign trade, a start in the direction which Democrats have long claimed is the proper course, they supported it almost - solidly. They voted down they knew the adoption Di on final passage or incur President's veto. The truth the Democrats in this instance hav« acted the part of patriots rather | than partisans. While The Land- mark has no harsh words for the Democrats who opposed the treaty, i€ believes the party pursued the | proper and wise course and time will_fustify it. * * ° This from the Winston Sentinel “If this year’s cotton crop ma tures ae well as it indicates jis pow,manufacturers and dealers are predicting that prices will drop t tem cents and this will mean resumption of operation by man idle throughout ‘the South.’ to | amendments which they heartily favored because of the amendments would either kill the the is, that | the jon the mt was made by a gen- bwas instantly killed. tleman wilo hae been engaged in He added that he did not wish see cotton drop below ten cents, jbut at that price he felt the grow- ers and manufacturers could make some money. If the cotton crop should be ahy- wheré near as Jarge as predicted, the price will more than likely drop to ten cents; and it is judged from the remarks quoted that the gentile- man believes that low-price cotton is necessary for the revival of the mil) industry and he naturally looks at it from that standpoint when he figures that both growers and: manu- facturers can make some money at that figure. As to the growers, it depends. Some farmers may make a fair profit on cotton at ten cents and some can’t. In this era of high prices ten cents is a low price: But high-price cotton is by no means the only trouble or the main trouble of the mill pegple... Their main trouble is inability to sell goods. While cheaper cotton would enable them to eell for leas mioney and help matters to. some extent, it would not remedy the difficulty entirely. It is greatly to be hoped that conditions will be such that farmers will receive a fair price and that the mill people will become prosperous again. Testifying before the special con- gressional committee in vestigat- ing the sugar trust, as he lay in bed, the committee having gone to his bedside because he was too weak to go before it, John Arbuckle, the aged coffee dealer and sugar refiner told of his long war with Henry O. Havemeyer and the sugar trust. Of the dead sugar magnate he said: “I knew H. O. Havemeyer for ferty years,” he added: “He had his good and his bad qualitieg. He played his violin magnificently and I told him that a man who could make that kind of music was not 80 bad as people thought him to be.” There are different opinions about folks who can play a fiddle. If Henry O. Havemeyer played the simple,old-time melodiesina cheer- ful, rollicking way, and called it fiddle music, not violin, then The Landmark is disposed to agree with Mr. Arbuckle that there must have been some good in him. But if he called the fiddle violin,played etude ops. and things that produce a sound like the wail of a lost soul, then there is cause for suspicion. These bong-haired, lean-faced vio- lin (with the accent on the lin) players are fit for treason, strata- gems and spoils. It is probable that Mr. Nero was playing violin music when he watched Rome burn; a later example is the alleged wife murderer Beattie, who thrummed his guitar in Richmond jail a few days after his wife was bur- fed. Amother evidence that Have- meyer could hardly have been an oldtime fiddle player is that the fiddle piayers—at least those who give much time to it—are not usually active agid successful busi- ness men. When the late Dr. John F.- Long, of Statesville, found one of- his boys playing the fiddle in the kitchen he proceeded to make kind- ling wood: of the fiddle. Explain- ing his act, the old doctor said he never knew a.man who made : business of playing the fiddle to be worth a hurrah, or words to that effect. If Havemeyer had been an old-time fiddler he would hardly have made millions in su- gar. He was a orafty violin play- er and that explains the organiza- tion of the sugar trust.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has ordered promotions for postoffice clerks and city letter carriers which carry increases in salaries approximating $2,000,000 a year. Orders were also issued for promotions in the railway mail service which will total $175, year. These increases are in tion to the dnereases for rural mail carriers totaling $4,000,000 a year, which became effective July ite ‘The four great groups of postal emphoyes have received increases in pay aggregating $6,000,000 during | the current fiscal year. Postmaster | ‘el General Hitchcock says the increases | wilh be more than offset by in- creased efficiency of the employes, and he believes the advances are warranted by the fact that the postoffice is now practically self- sustaining. Jim Blanchard, white, charged with attempting to criminally assault a young girlin the suburbs of Ashe ville, was released, the girl identi- fying Clyde Ward as her assailant. In this case and another of like character, Ward was held for the grand jury, bond of $500 being re- quired in each case.

On Saturday, July 22, at the old Abner McConnell farm, Davidson township, Iredell] county, the Sher- rill and Helly families, numbering with a few neighbors 54 persons, fat down to a long table under the spreading branches of a mighty elm and partook of a dinner such as all the Delmonicos cannot fur- nish. A participant in the pleas- ures of that joyous occasion states that when the party rose from the table another group of 54 could bave been readily supplied with a good dinner. Banjos, mandolins, guitars and fiddles were in evidence, contrib- uted from various quarters, and the day was one of .song, music and laughter.

HISTORICAL. Mr, J. F. Click, of Hickory, «4 native of Davie county, writes the Mocksville Record that he thinks Davie county was wamed in hon- or of Wm. R. Davie. He gives @ short sketch of Davie and men- 90 | tions that he was elected Governor ALWAYS SOMETHI NG. Every attempt to reduce tariff duties is met with the objection that this, that or the other interest willbe damaged or destroyed. Com- menting on the speech of Senator Bailey,“of Texas, last week, against the reciprocity agreement, the Richmond Times-Dispatch ob- werves that he based ‘‘his argu- ment on the sorry pretext that the bill would result in great injus- tice io the farming interests of the country, and if pursued to its log- fecal conclusion, its passage would lead to the adoption of ‘a policy where the American farmer will be stripped of all advantages and left to the mercy of the beneficia- ries of all tariff legislation.’ That is exactly the sort of argument the cotton manufacturers are now making against the proposed revision of the cotton schedule, and it is the same argument the sugar planters of Louisiana will make when the tariff on sugar is taken up, and the iron and coal miners of the South and North and West will insist upon when the special interests in which they are con- cerned begin to feel the hand of cotrective legislation, and with the result that whereas we have started out on a bold plan for the revision of the tariff there will always @ome eloquent Bailey standing in the way.” That’s it. Always something to wave; always some interest to protect. The Progressive Farm- er, which has no superior—if it has an equal—as a farm paper, and which has done more for the farming interest than any other agency, is not alarmed about the effects of tne reciprocity agreement ou the farming interests Hear it: “What do you think of reciproc ity?” we are asked. “Will it help cr hurt the farmers” Our opinion ig that it will help the Southern farmer more than ‘t wil: hurt him, and that it will do the ‘Western grain farmer little harm; further- More, that this harm will be more than counterbalanced by the good effects: of succeeding tariff legisla- of North Carolina. in 1799. The editor of the Record challenges Mr. Click’s last statement, saying that “Davie was never Governor of this State.” Excuse The Landmark for butting in. Mr. Click is right except as to the year of the election. Davie county was named for Gen. Wil Mam R, Davie. He was born in England in 1756 and was jong a res- ident of Halifax county, N. C., which he represented in the Legis- lature for many years, Under the head of Halifax county Wheel er’s history of North Carolina gives an extended account of Da- vie’s services, especially his mili- tary career. In 1798 he was ap pointed by the President of the United States brigadier general in the army and he prepared a4 system® of cavalry tactics which were printed by order of the State and used for thisarm of the service. In August, 1798, he was elected to the Hovse of Commons and the 4th of December following he was elected Governor over Benjamin Williams. In June, 1799, he was appointed by the President, with Oliver Ellsworth, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Murray, then minister at The Hague, 48 ambassador tc France, vice Patrick Henry, declined. ® - All this information -is from Wheeler, ard of Davie’s visit to France the historian says: ‘‘In the most polished court of Europe, the dignified person apd graceful man- ners of Governor Davie were con- spicuous. ‘I could remark,’ said an eye-witness, ‘that Bonaparte, in ad- dressing the American legation at his levees, seemed to forget that Governor Davie was second in his mission, his attention being more particuiarly to him.’’ Gov. Davie was a candidate for Congress in 1803 and was defeated. He moved to Tivoli, near Landsford, 8. C., and died there in 1820, aged 64. Davie county people have every reason to be proud of the man for whom .heir county was named. Beulah Binford, “the other wo- man” in the noted Richmond wife- tion. Cotton seed products will be directly helped by the treaty. When the writer was in England in February he found al) the English violently, almost hysteri- cally, opposed to reciprocity be- cause of the advantages it would give the United States over Eng- land—and this seemed a sound reason for thinki:g it a good thing for America. Returning home, we found the manufacturers in the American Protective Tariff League violently, almost hysterically, op- posing reciprocity because of the damage it does to the theory of “protection” that has made them rich at the exnoeuse of the agricul- tural classes Aud this seems a pretty good reason for believing that in the end it will prove a pretty good thing fur the farmer. So far as we can ascerluin there is “a negro iu the wocdpile’ in the case of most of the opposition to reciprocity. The lumber trust rath- er than the farmer is the main- spriug of much of the activity against the treaty. QQ ———_———_EE__ _ “Smoking of pipes, cigarettes or cigars in public and semi-public places must cease.’ This is the slogan of the Non-Smokers’ Protec- tive League of America, which has been incorporated in New York: _ Its purpose is to prevent smoking tn all public places and every semi- public place, such as office build- ings, ic. The Landmark is a emoker but it confesses to a good deal of syuipathy with the purposes of the Noa-Smokers’ League. To Many no.i-smokers tobacco smoke is offensive and one has no right to do ip a public or semi-public place that which annoys others. >a pA cotton mill man, “one of the largest sellers of cotton goods in the South,” tells the Oharlhotte Chronicle that it is his opinion that in “six months from now the cotton mill men will be getting their Own prices for their goods.’ The depletion of warehouse stocks is one of the reasons assigned for this cheerful prospect. The opinion expressed by the mill man is ¢ncour- murder case, who is held in jail as a witness, is attracting attention, as was to be expected. Following is an extract from a newspaper story: . The girl has given up any hope of giving bond. In her interview, Miss Binford said she ran away from school at Alexandria with another girl from Washington, who has since married. She has told of visiting Chicago, Asheville and doz- ens of other cities, stating that she never had a chance to be a good girl. ‘‘When other girls were being watched by their brothers, mothers and fathers, I was allowed to do just as I pleased. My moth- er thought she was letting me en- joy myself. She let me stay out late whenever I wanted to and hardly ever asked where I had been when I was only 13 years old. I admit I knew right from wrong, but I did not. think of the future. “I am thinking of it now, all right, and ‘ seems pretty blue to me.” Then, as her Iden head dropped for a moment,’she mutter- ed, “But what’s the difference? Who cares? “I want to Several times I repeat one thing. | tried to be good | ang oould not. A girl who goes wrong has not -miach chance in this part of the country. I never thought Henry would marry me. No- body but a poor fool in a padded cell would marry me.”’ It is a habit of people in trouble to try to put the blame on some other person and this girl, young in years and old in sin, is fol- lowing a custom which cannot be commended. It is a fact, however, that there are mothers not a few who allow young daughters magch liberty on the idea of giving them a “good time’; and too often the result of that unrestricted liberty is the story of Miss Binford. Having published the substance of the charges made against Gov. Kitchin by Messrs. Misenheimer and Lockhart, and the Raleigh News and Observer, The Landmark is to- day publishing the substance of snievetiicala: tule teiaial lien Tariff Revision Bill. Washington Dispatch, 25th, - Democrats of the House of Rep- resentatives, after a pro! cau- cus todey ratified by more than a two-thirds majority, the cotton tariff revision bill drafted by: the Demo- cratic members of the ways. and means committee, reducing by nearly one-half the schedules of the Payné-Aldrich law on-manufac- tures of cotton. The bill will be jao- troduced in the House tomorrow and its passage expedited. The bill was not ratified. with- out protest and a vigorous effort was made by many Democrats to upset the party legislative pro- gramme and to prevent. adjourn- ment of the special session of Congress by blazing away with tariff revision all dowm the line, even if such action should throw the session into the late fall. Representative Webb, of : North Carolina, offered a resolution urg- ing postponement of action on the cotton measure until the ways and means committee should first report bills reducing the tariffs on iron and steel articles, sugar, Meats and flour, brick and dyes and dye stuffs. After his resolution was voted down other members pleaded for extension of the tariff programme, urging especial revis- ion of the iron and steel,rubber and sugar schedules. Though all resolutions were de- feated, no decisive action on the time of adjournment was taken. That question will be settled by the House Democrats at a later cau- cus, after it is determined just what the Senate will do with the pending House tariff bills. Representative Webb, who repre- sents a district in which are located 110 cotton mills, made ea plea for the manufacturers in speaking on his resolution. The committee estimates that un- der the new rates the revenues to be derived in 12 months fnom the cotton tariff will be $10,599,000, a decrease of a little more than $3,- 000,000 from last year under the Payne-Aldrich law. The Senatorial Campaign. Raleigh Dispatch to Charlotte Ob- server. It {the conrovertsy between Gov. Kitchin and Editor Dan- iels}] had the effect of bringing Governor Kitchin’s candidacy fnto the limelight and many are as serting that just at this time he has 30 or 40 per cent. more follow- ing than any other candidate in the field. However, others take the view that the apparent decided ascendancy of the Kitchin follow- ing is due to the special promi- nence of this Deniels-Kitchin contest and that in reality the oth- er three candidates—Senator Sim- mons, ex-Governor Aycock and Chief Justice Clark—are holding their normal strength and one and an- other of them making gains. Ohief Justice Clark is up a steady lick in campaigning through sending to Democrats in ev- ery section of the State his nota- ble platform and hiis noted speech- es, ‘The Gospel of Progress’ and “Some Defects in the Constitution of the United States;’’ algo copies of significant opinions that he has delivered in the Supreme Court. These are having their effect and his friends declare that he is making good headway. Senator Simmons and his _pri- vate secretary, Mr. Watts, who is recognized asa resourceful political lieutenant for the Senator, are both back in the State now and are to get into the conflict at this end of the Mine after pushing their campaign work for some time past from the Washington end. Ex-Gevemor Aycock is still leav- ing his campaigning largely with his friends. The Goldsboro bureau is issuing folders and other matters tending to show that widespread welcome was accorded him as a can didate. The insinuations that have been spread around that his health or any other condition makes it {undesirable for him to undertake the duties of the senatorship are being refuted. His health is very greatly improved. Nebraska Democrats Names.

A compromise wool bill offered by Senator LaFollette, of Wiscon- sin, a modification of both his own and the House bill, was passed by the Senate, 48 to 32, through thé union of Democrats and insurgent Republicans. Upon this middle ground, the Democrats having se- cured a record vote on the original Underwood bill, joined with Republican insurgent forces. The measure adopted reduces the raw wool duty to 35 per cent ad valorem, and _ correspondingly re- duces the duties on woolen arti- cles. The team of Mr. D.

The Governor gays: I have this to say in reply to the joint attack of yourself and Mesars. Misenheimer and. Lockhart, which is in accord with other un- fair attacks on your part. When theLegisiature of 1909 met I was hopeful that a thorough anti- trust bili would pass. After learn- ing the sentiment of the Senate, I became thoroughly satisfied --that it was impossible to get any trust measure through the Senate beyond the requirements of the platform. On the night of February 1, 1909, one of the ‘best informed gentlemen of the Senate said to me that. when the Lockhart bill came from the committeeafter his speech,a motion to lay the bill on the table would be made and carried, and that would end the trust legislation for that session. A Senator present shared that opinion. I promptly re- read the platform to them and de- clared that its requirements must be performed. They both agreed with me. The Lockhart bill: had been some time prior thereto intro- duced. A short time thereafter, Senator Lockhart, upon my request, came to See me with Senator Nimrocks to talk over the situation—the only conference I ever had with these two grntlemen. Our conference was full, frank and unreserved, all of us agreeing on what ought to be Gone and alt doubtful whether any- thing could be done. Amd I have a copy of a letter written on April 6. 1909, within 30 days after the | Legislature adjourned, which com- |pelled me then to recall that confer- | ence, ahd I remember much of it. | I asked Senator Lockhart what |were the chances of bis bill pass- ing the Senate. He replied that, jcounting all the doubtful men, he |could muster only 22 Senators in jits support. I stated that from my \talk with various Senators I had jalso concluded that we could not |secure the passage of his bill. I distinctly remember repeating to} them the conversation which occur- [red iu my office on the night |February 1 above mentioned. After plied that that would never do . and) of hensive and drastic recommenda- jtions against trusts. These which had oe apparently put a majority. of the Senate agninst the Lopkbart bith We agreed that the surest way to accomplish something was to insist upon’ the declaration of the Democratic platform embody- ing the vital principle of the fa- mous sub-section A. I will add that I never had a secret opinion about this subject at any time. The statement that any man in the Legislature was authorized to epeak for me (outside of my mes- gage) is untrue and it was never reported tome that any one. claimed or exercised such authority. Senator Lockhart has simply been dreaming. If it should be presumed that any one was authorized to.represent my views, the natural presumption would be that my brother was, and he favored, and as chairman = re- ported, as a substitute for the bill that passed the Senate the entire Texas anti-trust law introduced by Representative Koonce. The constitution, in fixing my duties in respect to legislation and the enactment of laws, says that I shall recommend to theLegislature such laws as I think should be enacted. I have done that in respect to trusts. Let the record apeak as to whether I have molified my views on trusts since I was elected. (Here the Governor quotes from his inaugural addrees where he took the ground that the corporate j monopoly that by foul means will fully and needlessly destroy its ri- val by wrongdoing for the purpose of exacting unjust profits from | the public should forfeit its exist- ence and that all the power of the State in all its departments should be exerted to destroy every unnat- ural monopoly, every industrial trust that commits wrong upon the people and their industries. He quotes an interview with the Gov- ernor in the Raleigh morning paper February 2 in which he expressed his eonviction that the Democratic platform was a direct endorsement jof subsection A, and that. the | Legislature ought to add the sub-| |stance and affect the purpose of | that section. He quotes also ex-| jtensively from his special message |to the Legislature following the| | Lockhart-Nimocks conference He | quotes Editor Daniels as saying ed- \itorially thereafter that the Govern- lor’s message stood for the platform jand recommended compliance with ‘ite provisions.

It was finally under- eliminate from his bill its parts which were already law,he having substantially copied the Reid-Justice bill, and that we would strive at any cost to have the platform dec- laration enacted I then stated I had been contemplating sending a@ special message to the Legisila- ture on the subject; and asked Senator Lockhart if he made the eligrinations mentioned, would he deem a special message necessary He replied, “Yes, and as hot as ¥ou--ean—make-it;-for-it hard to put the Ten Commandments through the Senate.” As I said above, the conference was for the purpose of accomplish- ing something against trusts. I re- call no differences between Sena- tors Lockhart; Nimocks and myself, the question being whether we should contend for a particular bill and accomplish nothing, or try to accomplish the best possible leg- ielation, and when our conference adjourned I was aware that we differed upon the latter policy. The statement of Mr. Lockhart that I ever at any time said that 1 hoped that nothing would be done is untrue and is contrary to my inaugural address, my interview, my special message below cited and the very purpose of our conference The remark of the gentleman~ ‘in Durham was made in March, 1907, two years prior to the confenence, and was to show the kind of argu- ment that was to be expected in the contest for anti-trust legisla- tion. Senator Lockhart knows that I did not endorse that statement, gentleman that if sub-section A had passed in 1907 and any prop- erty in Durham, had been for sale at 50 cents on the dolar, I would lmave raised every dollar I could to invest it His statement that I said that Mr. Reid was defeated on account of his antitrust record is not true. I never thought his trust record had anything to do with Senator Reid’s defeat, but always knew that hie defeat was on account of a local issue, involvimg the location of the court house. And his splen- did anti-trust record was not suffi- cient to save him from the disas- trous effect of the purely local is- sue , and I am positive I never made a statement about it which I knew to be untrue. I have no idea that I made any statement that I was nominated on my personality, as I am not apt to have made a atatement which I did a believe, jing all my recommendations except jthe two most vital and sweeping I stated that if the Legis- | ones, your stood that Senator Lockhart would | would be for I added that I at once told the | y\every syilable without having to re- paper with enonmous headiines pronounced it a bill egainst grusts with teeth.” (Here the Governor quotes at length from the message to the 1911 Legislature, fresh in the memory of readers). Then the Governor con- cludes as follows: “With these records well known, you assume to credit the contradic- tory recollection of one who is seeking my defeat. You have claim- ed to be neutral in State contests within the Democratic party. You took no part in former senatorial contests, either in 1901 or 1903. | “Since then you have probably | grown more confident and have de- | termined to defeat two candidates | for the Senate, whether you have) determined to elect-one or not: You} can constantly bombard me, but I} shall heave my cause with the peo-| Mle, hoping that as they nominates | me once without your help they can! - nominate me again agaimst your) opposition. I am not afraid of the | truth and I do not believe you can | mislead the people either as to my personal,political or official,charac- ter. “When I was a candidate before there was an effort to injure me by charging that I was unsafe and dangerous. You now take the. oth- er tack and try to make the people think I have no moral courage, am truokling, am a hypocrite, and have made pledges to break them. I have pursued the even tenor of mry |way, discharging the duties of my high office under my oath, taking advice from all but not controlled by you or any one “My attitude toward trusts has never changed. I am as anxious t« aid in the destruction of privat¢ mo nopolies as I ever claimed to/ be. I never said I could destroy the American Tobacco Company or any other trust operating through- out the United States, if elected Governor. And yet you have tried to make your readers believe that. |] never promised the people to usurp the powers of the Legisla- ture or of the judiciary.

This State has suffered so much from lack of rep- resentation and from misleading in- formation that there is a deep-seated anxiety in this regard. . “Ina notable and animated discus- sion of this question it was asserted that there is now being exploited in North Carolina a set of geographies that may be involved in the work of adoption that have ‘in the elementary volume over 350 pictures without a single one of them being credited in North Carolina, while the advanced book-has near six hundred illustra- tions and only one of these bearing a North Carolina name. It is also declared that in historic treatment of the United States in the formation of the Union it contains a sneak blow at North Carolina and the South that would have the ultimate effect of imbuing the children with the idea that their fathers who fought in the Confederate army were rebels. This was illustrated by a quotation from the elementary book, page 79, which reads: “In less than 300 years after the country was discovered 13 ’ colonies been settled along the Atlantic Coast, all penete to Eng- land, which is one of the most im- _— countries of Europe. In 1776 ese colonies began the War of the Revolution to become a new nation.” is, it was pointed out, is a danger- ous error in that the men who made North Carolina’s history glorious nev- er accepted the teaching that the War of the Revolution was begun and fought for the establishment of a *‘new nation,’ but solely and alone for the freedom and independence of the sovereign States. That isa mighty little word, declared this anxious crit- ic, but, used in this connection and in that manner, it is a sneak. The author, he declared, couldsurely have had aooing in common with the peo- ple of N Carolina. And while he would therefore regard. this of minor importance, our never regard- ed these United States ‘‘a nation” un- til after the civil war of 1860-65, and are not have a profound for the idea of States’ rights.

John Burns, president of the Local Government Board, ordered the medical officer of the West York- shire health department to inspect Bryant’s establishment and report.
