BESSIE COMBS POISONED HUSBAND GAVE STRYCHNINE. Reuben Combs Told Sheriff Deaton That He Put Strychnine in His Wife's Milk—EKvidence That He i § ct it ti l E g* tn ! rpose of ing what said analysis will shot.” This was the verdict of the cor- oner’s jury rendered Tuesday after- noon as the result of the second in- vestigation of the death of Mrs. Bessie Combs, the young wife of Reuben _Combs. The ver diet is signed by W. T. Watt, A. L. Milligan, D. E. Dougiless, A. L. Feimster, J. W. Tradway and T. L. Watt. In the first investigation the jury was composed of W. T. Watt, J. D. Brown, T. L. Watt, A. L, Milligan, J. R. White and W. M. Stikeleather. When the second investigation was begun Monday not ali of the first jury could be found and others were substituted. The Landmark has told the story o* the finding of Mrs. Combs’ dead body in the vicinity of her home in Concord township, this county, néar the village of Stony Point, early last Friday morning, and the result of the Mrat inquest and the beginning of the second investigation, which ied to the ar- Test of Combs Monday afternoon Sheri‘f Deaton, who was in doubt whether the firat investigation bad disctoset all the facts in the case, had tatked to Judge Lyon, who is holding lirdell court, about had decic.ed to pursue the investi. ed. onday, however, he reccived a letter from Stony Point giving information with reference to the case, which made prompt action important. On authority of Judge Lyon the sheriff summoned Coro- ner Moose, Dr. A. Campbell, county Physiciaz., and Dr. E. M. Yount, to go to Stony Point and hold a second} inquest and make a post mortem | examination. At Stony Point Dr. Hunter, of that place, told the sher- iff that he had given Reuben Combs a prescription containing ar genic, but he doubted if it would have produced death if all taken at once. Combs was asked if he had any medicine at his house and toid of the medicine given him by Dr. Hunter. He said he threw it away the day after his wife’s death; that his father had suggested. to him to throw it away; as H was of no further use. The sheriff and young Combs went to the place where Combs said he had thrown the med- icine and found it, but this medicine does vot figure in the tragedy, as aubsequent events show. It is only mentioned ag a part of the story. Before the grave was opened for the post mortem examination the sheriff told Reuben Combs that the people around had killed his wife and that if he had done so he ought to tell it before her body was taken out and cut to pieces. Combs answered that he had told all he knew about it. While the inquest was in progress, two or three witnesses having been examine’, a letter came to the Stony foint postoffice on one of the rural routes, directed to Sher- iff Deaton at Statesville. The post- master, krowing the sheriff was at Stonv Point graveyard, sent the letter there. The letter, which was from Mr. 58. C. Johnson, of Sharpes- burg township, this county, told of a@ cOnversation Combs had, prior to his wife's death, with a young fel- low~named Stout, about how to ,Proceed in buying poison and how to administer it to a person to cause death. As soon as this let- ter was read Reuben Combs was tak- en into custody an: the inquest ad- journed antil next morning, the Combs was brought to States- ville on the train. On the way here, as subsequently testified by the sheriff, he indicated that he wanted to tulk about the case but was given no encouragement. After the jail was reached and Combs}; was locked in a cell, he held the sheriff's hand, when the latter told him goodbye, and said he had something to tell him. Anticipating a confession, the sheriff told Combs to wait until, he could call some one. Combs said that he wanted to tel] the sheriff. “T gave her [his wifeJsomething.’ “What did you give her?” asked the sheriff. Combs said in effect that he gave his wife strychnine which he got Lee Shoemaker, a boy, to buy for him at Stony Point, and that he|‘ put the strychnine in his wife's milk 25th, said he was afraid to use strych- “Your wife was never in the| nine, cowpen,” said the sheriff. ‘Yes, Luther White,, the . druggist at she was,’’ answered Combs. shed in the pen said on the morning of the first in- quest—-Friday, ed there about 10 o’clock and found the bcdy lying in the road near the been dead several some discolorations on head neck. nal except he cut into the throat to the windpipe. the body Monday, could tell ing of external of decomposition. removed stomach, and other internal organs; there thought he) chest lungs and examined skull. organs so badly decomposed that no opinion could be formed.

Point, said Reuben Combs called at his store three weeks and asked him if he had anything that would kill rats. Wit- ness had nothing but toid Combe Stony Point, a brother of Mr. L. 0, No effort was made‘ to get Combs to tell the whole story,which he doubt- less would have done had he been asked. The sheriff at once got busy to get evidence for the coro- ner rext day. Returning to Stony Point in an automobile that night, accompaied by Clerk Hartness and others, the sheriff found the wit- nesses to substantiate the state- ments in Mr, Johnson’s letter and the confessiqn of Combs. The inquest hearing was resumed inStatesville Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock. Court being iu session the court house could not be used and the hearing took place on the porch of the law office building in the rear of the court house. A large crowd was present, most of them from Stony Point neighborhood. The prisoner, a slender, boyish fellow, with rather delicate features and curly hair, sat behind his, counsel, Mr. L. C. Caldwell. He looked about but little, his eyes were gen- erally downcast, but to the casual observer there was nothing in his face to indicate the criminal. A slight scar shows clearly under his left eye and his cheek bones are rather prominent. He was neatly dressed. It was hard to believe, as one looked at this 18-year-old boy, that he could have deliberately poisoned his bride of less than four months,. but the evidence, leaving owt his confession to the sheriff, points to that conclusion. Behind the coroner and in er of young Combs and his coungel,: sat a woman dressed in black, who gave close attention to the pro- ceedings. That was Mrs. W. H. Beard, the mother of the dead gir! wife. She was quiet and composed, but one could imagine that her face nardened as she looked at young Combe. He had stolen her daugh- ter away and married her now was charged with her deat Messrs. Dorman Thompson and Z. Long represented the State at the hearing. The first witness was N. H. Combs, the father of Reuben. Mr. Combs is himself a young man, apparently net more than 406 /f that.

Reuben told his fath- er that when he awoke he missed Bessie, looked for her and called her and found her in the cowpen, in her night clothes and barefooted; that she was lying under a _ little When the father reached the body he took hoid of Bessie’s hands and called her.

The Third creek drainage com- missioners are advertising $25,000 of bonds for sale and will prose- cute the drainage work with the pro- ceeds, all of which meang that the drainage work is going to get un- der way at an early date. Mr. T. J. Conger tells The Land- mark that the many meetings and the delay in proceeding with the work are due to several causes. First, many landowners on. the creek! had to be persuaded into it; one man who owns one-sixth of an acre gave trouble; then there were differ- ences about the appointment of com- missioners, etc., in which politics figured: All this made necessary many meetings and much talk,hence the delay.

The Supreme Court holds that the law doés not prevent a manufactur- er from lying about the curative properties of his medicine; that it only prohibits a misstatement as to the ingredients. That is to say, one may advertise water as a cancer eure, but so long as he doesn't say the medicine is something other than water he is mot liable, and he is not compelled to say what the ingredients are.

You may say thet you shot birds when you were a boy, and no- thing was thought of it. Well, something is thought of it now, and your boy knows it; if he does not, he is lacking in moral perception. He knows that the value of birds an insect destroyers is recognized, and that the kflling of songsters is regarded as indicative of viciousness and cruelty. All of which is true. But the parent of the average boy who goes out shooting song birds—there are exceptions, but we're talking about the average—not only permits the boy to do as he pleases but he will evitable tendency will de to the greatest possible evil that can be- fall a newspaper—to prostitute: its news and editorial columns for mon- ey; to accept pay for boosting some- body or something; for writing new. articles to suit whoever is inter- ested enough to pay;.to the sell- ing of editorial opinions. That is what it would lead to. Some papers print advertising matter as news who haven’t gone any farther than that. But, as has been shown, that is deceiving the public and once de- caption is practiced the tendency is to go farther into the wrong; rnd deception in one case breeds a lack of confidence in another. There can be but one safe course for any newspaper that wishes to be square with the public and that is to follow the dictum of one of the greatest newspaper men the country has koown, Mr. Chas. A.

President Finley may—observe the word may—mean well, but he views the matter from the standpoint of the industrial interest—the manufac- turers,the railroads and that class. The farmer who pays any attention to market conditions, the law of ‘Supply and demand, and especially the farmer who considers his own interest, just as President Finley censiders his interest, will not in- crease the cotton crop a pound ex- cept as conditions warrant an in- crease in price. The Southern farm- er has been a long time learning, but at last ‘he seems to have rea!- ized, in some measure at least, that if he would prosper he must produce what he can sell readily at a prof- it, With the advanced cost of living and consequent advanced cost of production, cotton at 15 cents pays little if any. more profit than it did at 8 and 10 cents a few years ago. A big increase in the yield of cot- ton will almost certainly decrease the price. It has always done that and there is no reason to believe the same conditions,.will not produce the same result. If the world wants more cotton let the price be ad- vanced along with the increased demand so that the producer will get a fair profit. If the producer is guaranteed a fair profit he will dovbtless take pleasure in produc- ing all the cotton wanted, but he should be sure he is to get the profit before he increases his crop. s . s This from the Charlotte Observ- er: We understand thatGaston county expects to raise about $8,000 this year from a $1 tax upon dogs.

Howell Way, of Waynes~ ville, was unable to reach Char: lotte in time to deliver the re- sponge to the address of welcome, so Dr. Thomas E. Anderson, of Statesville, was called to perform this duty. He had won this hon- or in a contest with Dr. C. A. Ju- lian, of Thomasville, by a turn of a coin, Mantpulated by the presiding officer. Dr. Anderson revealed a delicious sense of humor and made a delightful impromptu speech. “This decizion,’’ eaid he, “was made by the juggle of a coin and was not a righteous one.”” The doc- tor said he felt as Mark Twain, who said’ that considering the long time required for him to make up his mind; he felt that it was a vaat empire. And after he had made it up, confessed the. doctor, the results were rather disap- pointing. “{ have always thought it true courtesy,”” he continued, “that the response to the address of welcome should fell far short of the lat- ter, so that the home orators may shine by comparison, as some stars in the theatrical world shine by surrounding themselves with sorry actors. I think it was with this in view that the association se lected me to make this speech. (Laughter.) “I know you Charlotte doctors well enough at a distance and at close range to know that you mean what you say when you welcome us. I know that you have the facil- ities and we are going to avail our- selves of them.” (Laughter.) Dr. Anderson told a story of @ young lawyer who made a speech at Hickory, which the orator consid- ered a great, a masterful éffort. At ita conclusion he awaited the thuz- derous outburst df applause which he was positive would reward hig effort.‘ He waited in vein. The demonstration never démonstrated. Next day he made the same speech at Morganton. Again he and again he was disappointed. In per- plexity he appealed to a well-known citizen of that ,section who had heard both speeches, to know what he thought of his effort. “You ask me for my candid, sin- cere opinion?’ the other asked. “Yos,"’ ‘ “Well, with the single exception of the one you made yesterday, this one today was the sorriest speech I ever heard-ie my lfe.”” They must have given Dr. An- derson notice ao that he prepared this speech. Called on for a spéech at a banquet in Statesville on one occasion, the doctor protested that he could not shine to advantage on short notice, but some time if they wanted to hear something real good they could get itt by gtving 15 to 20 minutes’ notice.

Asheville Citizen. It appears that it has remained for a Frenchman, Vedrine by name, to really accomplish something in the way of aviation and bring it down to a practical basis, According to the dispatches, ‘he flew over mountains, perilous passes and plains from Paris, France, to Mad rid, Spain, a distance of 721 miles, in 738 minutes, a speed of almost a mile a minute! His marvelous trip was given an additional thrill by an aerial battle with a monster eagle. Nothing like Vedrine’s record has been approached in this country 0! anywhere else, and it is high tim’ for England and America to be uP and doing. It was a Frenchman, Bleriot, who first crossed the Eng lish channel in a monoplane, 80 that France has a clear claim to cham- pionship honors, so far as aerial navigation is concerned. ne] Monument to Women of the South . to Be Unveiled at Macon.

' Washington Dispatch, May 29. The government today won a @weeping victory over the so-called “tobacco trust’ when the Supreme Caurt of the Untted States held the AMerican Tobacco Company and its allied corporations to be operating ‘tn violation of the Sherman = anti- trust law. By directing that the combina- tion be forbidden the privilege of inter-State commerce or be placed in the hands of a receiver unless it disintegrates in harmony with the law within six or, at the most, eight months, the court is regarded to have dealt with the tobacco corporations more drastically than with the Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey, whose dissolution was ordered two weeks ago. Both the first amd second sec- tions of the Sherman anti-trust law have been violated by the so-called tobacco trust, according to the court. Not only has it im the eyes of the court, restrained wrongfully and un- lawfully fnter-State commerce, but it has attempted to monopolize the tobacco business to the injury of the public and of its competitors. While the decree was regarded as unusually severe, at the same time there was a touch of leniency in Not making the combinaiton an out- law “now.” The various elements of the combination are to be given an opportunity, under the supervis- fon of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern district of New York, of recreation so that there may be brought about “a new eondition which shall be honestly in harmony with and not repugnant to the law.” The opinion of the court was an- mounced by ChiefJustice White,who also delivered the opinion of the eourt in the Standard Oil case. The entire court agreed that the tobac- eo combination violated the Sherman ani -trust law, but Justice Harlan dissented from the repeated inter- pretation of the Sherman anti-trust law so as to call for the applica- tion of the “rule of reason” in de- termining what restraints of trade were forbidden by the act. In this respect the division of the court was the same as in the Standard Oil case. Justice Harlan also took igsue with the rest of the court as to the reorganization of the tobacco cOmpany, saying that he had found nothing in the record which made him ‘at all anxioua to perpetuate any new combimation among these companies, which the court concedes at all times exhibited a conacious wrong-doing.”’ The court reiterated its determi- mation to follow “thé rule of reas- ou.’ in determining What restraints of trade violate the Sherman anti- trust law, Chief Justice White ex- plained at length the decision of the court in the Standard Oil case but did not qualify the reasoning tm that case so as to harmonize ip any particular with the dissent- ipg views expressed by Associate Justice Harian and by other critics of the decision. © In reality the decision was nothing apenthan a deliberate exemplifica- tiomef the application of the “rule of Reason’ to “undisputed facts.” From the date of the organization |of the first combination the court | found that there was a purpose to |acquire dominion and control of \the tobacco trade, not by the mere jexertion of the ordinary right to coatract and to trade, but by meth- {ods devised in order to monopolize |the trade by driving competitors out of business This purpose was carried out ruthlessly, according to the court, upon the assumption that to work upon the theory to play wpon the cupidity of competit- ors would make success possibie. Such action, viewed in the “light of reagon”’ as regarded by the court, wag violative of the law. On practically every point on which the government appealed from the decision of the lower court, it scored a victory today. In the first plaee James B. Duke and the 25 other individual defendants were held to be parties to the unlawful combination instead of being freed from further, responsibility in the case ag directed by the court be- tow. Instead of dismissing the bill as to the Imperial Tobacco Compa- ny, the so-called British trust, and is to the British-American Tobac- | co Company, the creature of the two paremt tobacco ‘‘trusts,”’ these two ‘corporations were held to be co-op- erators in the unlawful combination. | So, too, was the United Cigar Stores} Company, a retail organization with | stores throughout the country. | The court confessed that great dif | ficulttes had been encountered in the consideration of the case be- caase of the many new aspects of the Sherman anti-trust law which it presented. These difficulties extended to the preparation of a satisfactory decree. In this connection the court express- ed itself as solicitous of procuring a remedy which would be complete and efficacious and yet result in as little injury as possible, both to the publie and the private interests in- votved. The court believed that putting the matter in the hands of the lower court for the purpose. of working out a method of dissolu- tion and recreation with the un- derstanding that unless the law was complied with the combination must retire from inter-State commerce or go in the hands of a receiver was the best solution of the problem. Unlike the Standard Oil Compa- ny, Which made no move today for a rehearing, William R. Perkins, as counsel for the American Tobacco Company, asked the court after the announcement of the decision for leave to present a petition and to stay the iasuance of the mandate of |the* court for 30 days. The request |was granted. Shortly after the |court adjourned until next October. | Qoncord Tribute: A barn on Mr. |Frank EH.

Wilson isn't better look- ing than the pictures the newspa- pers print, he wouldn’t take a prize at a beauty show. Congress have decided to cut the duty on wool 50 per cent. and the Dill prepared by the ways and means committee was to be reported to yesterday. Some of the Democrats wanted Wool placed on the free list but asthe duty on wool brings in about $21,000,000 revenue the majority contend that so much revenue can- wot be spared at this time. Col. W. J. Bryan, who has assumed to boss the party all these years, is de- manding free wool, however, and was in Washington this week ag- itating to have wool placed on the free list. ‘The colonel’ has a right to his opinion and a right to ex- press it, but his self-assumed dic- tatorship ig galling. It is gratify- ing to note that the majority of the House Democrats are defying him and will proceed as they deem best, regardiess of his views. North Carolina has a large in- terest in the tobacco trust, which has been declared an illegal com- » dination by the United States Su- rere Not only . has the aét Targe interests in this State, but six of the 29 men named as defendant by the government, in ~ the suit against the trust, are North Ciirolinians. These are James 8B. Duke, Benjamin N. Duke, George W. Wetts, Rufus L. Patterson, John B. Cobb and W. W. Fuller. If the government brings criminal Droceedings against these defend- ante they will, if convicted, be Hable to fine or imprisonment. Following ia the statute on the subject: “Every person who shall make mny euch contract or engage in any such combination or conspiracy, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished ‘by fine not exceeding five thousand dollars or by imprison- Ment not exceeding one year or by both said punishments, in the dis- ‘retion of the court.” Durham now breathes freér, ac- . @ording to the following dispatch from that town under date of Tues- day: The first announcement of the decision in the American Tobacco Company case yesterday caused con- siderable consternation. Everybody Was afraid that it meant great trouble for Durham. The men most closely connected with the company did not take such a digquieting view of it. They declared that if they had been violating the law they Wanted to quit it and that if the company is an illegal corporation it wants to be a legal one. Many merchants had fears and, before the reception of this morning’s papers, Rhere was considerable suspense. Ev e@rybody in Durham appears to think ‘thar all things will work out well fn the end and that there will be mo loss of money or property to any body. in this city, - which is now growing so well. It is this sort of thing—the fear that the town would be hurt oF that somebody would lose a dollar— thet created a powerful influence in Durham, Winston and other towns ‘where the ‘obacco trust has impor- fant intereets, against any legisla- tion that would interfere with the trust, Because its business was important t« the towns, the balance @f-the State was expected to pay tribute and suffer that a few places might presper. It did not seem to the panic-etricken that it was pos- sible for the tobacco business to be conducted legitimately;but anything the trust did must be condoned lest a few dollars be lost. —— Senator Simmons Has No Timber Lands—Not Interested in Lumber. To the Editor of The Landmark: My attention has been called to the editorial in The Landmark of May 26th in which you say “The Landmark has heard it charged that Senator Simmons is largely in- terested in timber lands in eastern North Carolina and that this fact influenced his vote against free lumber.” You very kindly add in your editorial that ‘The Landmark didn’t take these reports seriously.”’ As a matter of fact, I did not own at the time of my vote against free lumber, nor do I own now, any timber lands in eastern North Caro- lina, or elsewhere, except a small amount of cut-over timber attach- ed to my farms in Jones and Craven counties. The timber on these is ut little more than is necessary for farm use. Neither was I then, nor am I now, interested in the lumber business, except I owned then and now with my son a small mill of about 8,000 feet capacity, located on my farm in Jones coun- ty, and which is not run on an av erage of over 20 or 25 days during the year, to supply the needs of my farm and that of a few of my im mediate neighbors.

If you had to “do all this you would soon revise your ideas as to what you get off the farm. The writer has put this problem ap to two or three farmers who were figuring out how much greater re- turns they could get from their cap- itai invested in some other busi- ness, and when they began con- sidering this feature of the cage they had to make an entirely new set of comparisons. The man in another business has to pay for these things, too, in hard, cold cash. The farmer who “lives at home,” as a farmer should, gets them and scarcely thinks about them, they seem so much a matter of course. Yes, the old farm gives us, asa rule, a great deal for which we fail to give it credit; but there are few of us indeed who get out of it what we might. We have, in fact, never realized what a little pieee of land car do. Look at these facts about the isl- and of Jersey, from which our Jer- sey cattle come: There are about 20,000 acres of land in the island. Of this 4,095 acres is pasture, 3,666 for mowing, 1,000 in heath and mountain, 1,000 is in orchards. Nearly 400 acres is devoted to root crops, turuips and mangels, 1,414 acres to grain, 8,557 acres to pota- toes and 1,845 acres to miscellan- eous crops. There are on the island more than ‘12,000 cattle, about 2,000 be- 2,000 horses, over 5,000 swine and sheep and goats enough to bring than 20,000. more than one to each acre of land. The sales of cattle and dairy pro- ducts of coufse constitute the main source of income; but cattle and dairy products are not all that the islanders raise. They export about 2,500,000 nushels of potatoes yearly The average potato yield is about 400 busheis per acre, not of mature tubers, but of those dug mostly for the*eurly market when about the size of a large egg. ‘ Of eourse the soil is rich, but it has been made and kept so by good husbandry. Over in China and India, wnere the population ‘is less dense than on these islands and where the soil is naturally as fertile, famine stalks almost every year. It ts intelligence on the one hand against ignorance on the other. And it is intelligence on the one hand and ignorance on the “other that make one fertile farm in a neighbor- hood and a poor one right beside it. When any tract of land be- comes poorer through cultivation than it was in its natural Btate, that land has been badly treated. We talk of restoring land to its “virgin fertility’; but our “new- grounds” may be and should be so handled that they will grow larger crops ten or a hundred years from now chan at present. The lands of the South can, by good farm- ing, be made to produce twice, three times, five times, as much as at present. Five times our aver- age yields would only mean about 85 bushels of corn or 950 pounds of lint cotton to the acre; and both these yields look small when com- pared with what dozens of mere boys have done. No, we do not know what the old farm might be worth, and it’s cheaper, too, to build up the old farm you own than to go West and buy one somebody etse owns or go into a town business you know nothing about. finer work than to help those acres of yours to realize their hidden pos- sibilities, Germany Producing More People Than it Can Take Care Of.

Mitchell. This force of men ‘began operations duriag the past week, and it is planned to have the trail complet- ed and a hotel erected near the summit of the mouuntain ready to accommodate summer tourists this svason. The trail will follow a public road ‘from Graphiteville for about twc miles, but will branch off there in order to establish a better grade to the mountain, which is about ten miles from the starting point on the Southern railway. The edge of the timber boundary is within three miles -of this point and extends near to the summit of Mt. Mitchell, This trail will be built for the pur- pose of showing the timber tract to the best advantage to progpective purchasers, as well as to be used as a route for tourists to the high- est peak east of the Rocky moun- tains. In order that accommodations may be furnished those passing over the route, a log structure large enough to accommodate 30 guests will be erected within a short distance from the top of Mt. Mitchell. Ar- rangementts will be made for livery service, and in view of the fact that the distance from Graphiteville to Mt. Mitchell will be oply about ten miles, and that accommodations wil) be furnished those passing over the route, it is probable that the number of people visiting this his- toric peak this season will far ex- ceed that of former years. i Water or Mud Pills May Be Sold as Cures, Medicine which ia nothing but sweetened water or pills composed ot colored mud may, be labelled “cures’’ and sold as such with im- punity under the national pure food and drug act, according to a decis- fon of the - Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Dr. O..A.

Wallace against C. C. Covington, an action for $20,- 000 alleged damages for an alleged libelous utterance of the latter in a public speech. during the cam- paign of last year, was featured by a sensational encounter between ex-Meyor A. G. Ricaud, of counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. C. C. Cov- ington, the defendant. a Mr. Covington was called to the stand by the plaintiff for the pur- pose of ascertaining his worth. The question was asked.by ex-Mayor A. C. Ricaud, and Mr. Covington an- Swered the question, stating that he was worth $50,000 and all his debts paid. Mr. Ricaud remarked, “I want to congratulate you.” Mr. Covington replied: “That is more¢than you can say,”’ and some state that Mr. Covington pointed his finger at Mr. Ricaud in makiing this assertion. Mr. Ricaud replied to the effect that the witness was not more hen- est than he (Mr. Ricaud); that he would protect himself against any such persona! references of witness; that should he make such answer he would thrash him in the court room if the court sent him to jail for doing it. Judge Peebles here took a hand in-the verbal combat, declaring most emphatically that he would most surely send counsel to jai} if he thrashed a man in the court room or persisted in such talk. “It’s your honor's prerogative,” gaid Mr. Ricaud. “Yes, and I will exercise it,too,” said Judge Peebles, who stated that the attorney had better sit down. Judge Peebles then turned to Mr. Covington, who was still on the witness stand, and said in effect, “You had better be careful about an- . #wering counsel in such manner, 01 © you will be sent to jail. You start- ed this trouble.” This ended the colloquy. MATTERS OF NEWS. Gen. Diaz, ex-President of Mexico, boarded ship for Spain at Vera Cruz Wednesday.

Some time ago a slight increase was allowed the engineers. They now believe that was inadequate. Strike talk is heard from the engi- neers as well as from the firemen. The committee expects to discuss the yw uestion with President Finley of the Southern tomorrow. A meni- ber of the committee tonight asserted that the failure of the Southern to grant their demand would mean the 1,400 engineers on the road would quit their jobs. News of Loray Community.

F. Met Death in the Morrison Mill Pond Yesterday Afternoon. Mr. Claude Laugenour, young son of Dr. and Mrs. P. F. Laugenour, - drowned yesterday afternoon in the pond at Mr. W. E. Morrison's mill, two and a half miles north of town. He was bathing in the pond with three companions and while trying to swim across deep water he be- came exhausted and sank to death without uttering a word. The alarm was given immediately and from che time the body went down at 4.45 until it was found at 5 56 every effort was made to re- cover it, and after it had heen se- cured the doctors worked faithfully for 40 minutes in their effort to force artificial respiration and re- suscitation, but all in vain. The physicians realized at the time the body was recovered that there was practically uo hope, but there are cases of record where life has been brought back after an hour’s time and they dic everything possible to make another record and save @ life, Young Laugenour, accompanied by Levunard White, Frank Anderson and Paul Smith, drove to the pond about the middle of the afternoon and the four immedfately stripped and enterred the water. It was Laugenour’s first visit to the pond and he told the boys that he could not swim. The other boys warned him that the water was from 10 to 15 feet at the point where he went in and they were surprised when he deliberately went into the water and with the use of water wings Bwam out acroas the deepest por- tion of the pond and back to shore with apparently little effort. He then toid his companions that he was going to swim out to the boat, which was in the water, bottom up, about 26 feet away. He swam to the boat’ without trouble and was followed by Frank Anderson, who used water wings. When Laugenour started back to shore he caught hold of Anderson and tossed him about in the water until Anderson and the other boys warned him that it was dangerous to play in such deep water. Anderson then gwam back to store and Laugenour @tarted to swim toward the shore but continued to play and splash for a minute cr so and then to come toward the bunk, stea but slowly. The other boys were all near the bank when they noticed Laugenour suddenly go under. He arose instantly, however, and = re- gumed the swim, and his friends assumed that he had simply dived. An inatant later he went under again and when he rose the boys called to him to catch the water wings which they threw him. The wings fell within an arm's length but the drowing man paid no heed to what the boys said and apparent- ly did not see the wings. He again @ank and while two of the boys threw out other wings the other ran for a plank. But when Laug- enour rose the last time it could be seen that he was almost exhausted, and the next instant a white foot showed above the water and all was then out of sight. The boys on the bank immediately called fcr help and while Smith and Anderson remained at the pond with “poles to watch for their companion should he rise again, Leonard White Tan to Weston's store nearby, called up the fire department and gave the alarm, calling for physicians and men who could help recover body. Fireman Waiker quickly called for for doctors and spread the news on the streets and within five min- utes Dr. E. M. Yount and Mr. W. M. Barringer were speeding toward the pond in the doctor's auto, and an instant Jater Dr. H. F. Long and Mr. Karl Meser, who was at the sana- torium at the time, left for /the scene iu Dr. Long’s machine. These were followed by Drs. Bast and Cloaninger «ud otheré in automo- biles, on bicycles, horseback and in vehicles. Dr. Yount reached ihe pond within 20 minutes after the young mau ‘had gone under and found several men of the community working in pond with poles, while others were in the water diving at the point where body went down in au effort to locate it. Dr. Long and Mr. Moser undressed as they neared the pond and joined Claude Weston and Ross Scroggs, young men ofthe community, who had gone into the water and were trying to recover the body. They were soon joined by Deputy Sheriff Ward and Frank Harbin in the search for the body. Mr. Walter Morrison was s0on on hand and opened the gate to drain the pond. Finding that they could not dive to the bottom of the pond and stay there long enough to find the body, the men in the water began gigging for it with poles, and a few minutes later, when Mr. Weston arrived with his well hovks, attached to a tong rope, Mr. Moser and others began dragging the pond with the hooks. About all hope of recovering the body until pond was drained had about gone when Mr. Moser eud- denly hooked it at a point about ten feet uearer the shore than where it went down. He pulled the body a short distance and then it was re- leased before it reached the eur- face. The next drag the body was hooked about the face and quickly drawn to the surface near the end of the spring board. By this time about 75 pedple were present and there was much exeftement when body was takeu out. “day the tour was begutf at Marehall) CENTRAL HIGHWAY Wili Be in Statesville Saturday— Arrangements For Their Recep- tion.

A ORAZY MAN, John Morgan, a Noted Citizen of New Hope, Orazy and Dangerous, Was Captured By Strategy. : To have tact and to know just when to use a little strategy: is an accomplishment necessary in the make-up of a good officer and is one which has saved manyan Officer the unpleasant task of inflicting injury to dangereus persoos whose capture must be made and at the eame time subjecting himself , to probabie injury. This ‘is prelimi- ners to telling how Sberiff Deaton landed a dangerous citizen in jail, Friday, without the least bit of trouble, by a simple ruse made mec- essary by circumstances. Some days ago the mind of Mr. John Morgan, a farmer of about 65 years, living in the edge of the Brushy Mountains, tn New Hope township,became impaired and grad- ually grew worse until Morgan be- came wild and dangerous at times andhis family and friends became | aétio alarmed. He was possessed .-with the idea that some one was seek- ing to capture and murder him and that he was being mistreated, and to protect himself against the imaginary enemies he secured a shot gun, a pistol and a walking cane, an ugly dirk being concealed in the handle of the cane, and was constantly on guard, sitting most of the time in his front door, watching for the imaginary enemies. He made} threats against various persons and realizingg that his condition was such that he might at any time car- ry out his threats, a peace war rant was sworn out for him and Placed in the hands of Constable man. Accompanied by two oth- er New Hope citizens Redman went tan to Morgan’s home to arrest him, but Morgan exhibited his ugly weapons and rather than engage in a battle with him the constable and party retreated. Sheriff Deaton was ad- vised Friday of the estate of affairs. Securing Dr. Fred. Anderson to take | pays him out in the doctor’s automobile, the sheriff ‘phoned Deputy Sheriff Pplaint tt Baity to meet him with a buggy near the home of Morgan. The sheriff and Dr. Anderson arrived at’ the home of Rey. J. G. Weatherman, about a mile and a balf from Mor- gan’s hoMe, late in the afternoon, aud found Mr. Baity in waiting. Leaving the auto the sheriff and Mx..Baity drove in the to’ the farm of Morgan, which is lo- cated on a small mountain. When the officets reached Mor-| gan’s home they found him sitting THE END OF ‘THE COURT. Mapy Civil Cases Put Off the Dock- et—Two Sentences Changed.

The sheriff al- so professed to be very anxious to capture Morgan’s tormentors and wished that they might overtake some fellow with an auto so that they could make better time. Mor- gau immediately became, enthusiastic over an auto and when the party | reached Dr. Anderson and his ma- chine he was anxious to get in with | the officers and continue the pur- | suit. The sheriff asked Dr. Ander- | son to aid them in their chase and when Dr. Anderson agreed the sheriff and Morgan jumped from the buggy and into the machine, and! from-then until he was safely lodged in jail Morgan was in great good | humor and waved and erybody along the road. | It is said that in the old days, Morgan was something of a moon-| shiner and was in sympathy with | blockading. In, recent years, how-| ever, he has developed into a prohi bitionist and has been a source of of |} the Brusby Mountain blockaders. As | he rode along with the sheriff he told the sheriff there was much blockading in his section and that he wanted to take him to a number of moonshine plants, and of course the sheriff assured him that he was anxious to go on the raid and put | the stills out of commission. Al- though his mind is impaired, it may | be that Morgan could pilot the of- | ficers to some blockade plants, | for there is an element in New Hope) which. is given-to violation of the liquor lawe. ’ Since he has realized that he was the victim of a ruse and is now-be- hind bars,Morgan is net in such good humor...

The new board of aldermen held its first regular monthly meeting Friday night. Mayor Caldwell and ja@ll of the aldermen except Mr. A. D. Cooper, who was ill, were pres- ent. The first matter to come |before the board was the petition asking that the streets within the fire limits be sprinkled by the city, the idea being to use the fire horses to the aprinkler. The | Proposition was voted down, for th |) present at least. for permission to erect a sales sta- ible on east Broad street was pre- sented and the board granted him the privilege. The stable will be | erected on a lot recently purchased by Mr. Daniels from Dr. T. Grier Miller, within a half block of the square. Strange to say, no opposi- tion was offered on the part of own- ers of adjoining property and none of the aldermen opposed the peti- tion. Mr. R. L. Greenlee was elected city engineer, to_be paid for what- ever time he gives the work. Mr. Greenlee is now engineer for the Statesville Air Line Railroad Compa- ny at a salary of $175 a month and under the arrangement he will di- vide his time between the railroad and the city and each will pay its proportionate part of his salary. Mr. Greenlee submitted his surveys of Center street from the square to the depot and Mulberry street from Broad street to Armfield street, just beyond the graded school, and the board gave instructions that the left sidewalk of each of these Streets be graded at once by the street force preparatory to having them paved. Mr. Greenlee will sub- mit surveys of other streets as rapidly as he completes them. The matter of salaries of the city officials was next takest up. The mayor's salary was fixed at $50 a month, all fees to go ; treasurer. Mayor Grier. salary of $500 a year. - of the street commissioner w creased from $45 to $50 a n.onth; the cemetery keeper's salary from $37.50 to $40 the month. The allow- ance for the engineers at the pump station was increased from $68 to $80 the month. J.C. Burgess, newly elected enginéer,is to get $3 & Month and the use of the dwell- ing at the station, and J. A. Hub- bard, who was ageistant to the former engineer,will receive $45 the month. The salaries of the othér officials remain the same, namely: Tax collector and superintendent of water works, $70 the month; chief of police and fire department, $60; first assistant policeman $50 and second $45; sanitary officer and electric light collector $40; clerk and treasurer $25; city electrician $90, head fireman $40, second $35. The matter of placing a policeman at the depot was again deferred un- ttl it can be ascertained what por- tion of his salary will be paid by the railroad company. Mr. J. R.Alexander was appointed city list-taker. Diec From Inurtes Received in the Mi" Miss Moxley, an aged lady em- ployed at Stimpson & Steele's cot- ton mill at Turnersburg,was so bad- ly injured while at work in the mill Thursday that she died Satur- day. Her clothing was caught by a set screw on a revolving shaft and her body was pulled into the ma- chinery and dashed against the floor until life was almost extinct when she was rescued. A young woman who, first saw her seized the belt of the shafting and with almost super-human strength broke the belt, thue stopping the machinery, and the old lady was quickly released and given medical attention. In ad- dition to being injured about the head and body her clothing had been drawn 80 tightly about her neck that she had almost strangled to death. Everything possible was done to save her life, but she grad- ually grew worse and the end came Saturday. /The funeral services and interment took place Sunday at Snow Creek church. Miss Moxley was an interesting old lady. She was probably 65 years old and had for 46 years worked in the mill where she was fatally in- jured. She is survived by two sis- ters, with whom she lived. The Crescent’s Attractions. The Crescent, ‘‘Statesville’s Thea- ter Beautiful,” the new moving pic- ture show in the Mott building on west Broad street, opened Saturday afternoon and from the time its doors were opened until they closed late at night every seat was taken. The Crescent is truly a modern and up-to-date picture show. It is equipped with a modern machine which shows the pictures without so much flickering; is seated with modern opera chairs, has electric fans and its walis are beautifully decorated. An electric piano fur- nishes music and the show is con- ductea on a high plane,giving States- ville one of the best of its kind in the State.

Good for the President! These ne- @roes, either for lack of sense or for a particular purpose, more prob- ably the latter, sought to play’‘to the galleries by en‘ eavoring to have the President bluster about lynch- ings.

J.,, is disturbed about the evil influ- ence of the “bad” newspapers and he thus defines a bad newspaper: They publish sensdtional news; pander to the morbid desire of reading the demoralizing details of divorce, impurity, suicide, murder ani theft, exaggerate the luxury and the extravagence of the rich, as well as the privations and misery of the poor; eéxcite the Masses against the classes, and ridicule aml sheer at consttuted authority, whether in the ‘evisiative, judicial or executive branchcs of State and national government, There are bad newspapers and they deserve all the bishop says about them, but we doubt the effi- ciency of the remedy proposed. The biehop thinks “newspaper men should get together and form a eode of ethics. similar to those adopted by physicians and lawyers and bind themselves to adhere to upon their honor as jour- nalists.” That would be very fine if the bad newspapers would live up to the system. But the “code of ethics” of the lawyers has not rooted the bad lawyers out of the profession. In many communities the bad lawyer thrives and hie pro- fessional brethren do nothing to put him out. Disbarment proceed- ings are rare; thesameis true of the doctors, but the bad doctor is not so common as the bad lawyer. reach the bad newspaper, the bad doctor or the bad lawyer is for the public to leave them alone. Go long as the public supports them they will flourish, despite all the codes of ethics in the world. Referring to the proposed cam- Chronicle says: The Chronicle has already map- ped out its campaign. It is going will swear, or affirm, or give bond to do two things—to vote for the Torrens land Wtle bill and to vote for a State dog law. The people of theState have been making a mis- take in sending men to the Legisla- ture on account of their personal popularity and not knowing how they will vote. The Chronicle be- lieves that if the papers of the State will put the legislative can- didates on record, good results can be secured. For itslef, it proposes to require its candidates to speak out either for the sheep or the dog. It does not hesitate to say that if there should be a Democratic dog ticket and a Republican sheep tick- et—a very remote contingency—it would vote an ufolded ballot for the sheep. That's the right sort of talk— the same sort that The Landmark has been having. Fact is, our man- oer of selecting legislative candi- ates should be revolutionized. As it is now, candidates are usually se- lected for the Legislature by the political organizations and the only | question considered is whether the | candidate can be controlled—will do what the organization wants. Usual- ly the candidate is harmleses—will do nothing except what those who control him suggest—or he has politi- cal aspirations. In the latter event he usually runs with the organization because he wants the help of the organization. It is rare that lo- cal issues, the things that most concern the people, are mentioned in the campaign, the attention be- ing given to national issues, with which a legislator has practically rothing to do. Therefore, when lo- cal lwas are suggested,the legislator can say that the matter wasn’t dis- cussed in the campaign. In a word, politics and not practical, every-day business affairs, takes most of the ever, the witness didn’t get a Square deal. The attorney asked | him, according to the report, how | Much he was worth. “I am worth | $50,000 and all debts paid,” was th | answer. Thereupon the attorney | responded, ‘“‘I want to congratulate | you.” “That is more than you can | Bay,” retorted the witness. Where- | Upon the attorney, who seemg to have been unusually sensitive on | this point, talked about thrashing | the witness. After lecturing the | attorney, Judge Peebles rebuked the | witness, saying be started it, As | @ matter of fact the lawyer start- | ‘ed it. His saying, you,” to the witness was an unnec- | @ssary remark and invited a retort. Wheu the retort was made the law- | yer got mad. The witness in court fe always at a disadvantage. The lawyers can knock him, insinuate that he is a liar cond a horse thief, and if he talks back he is reprov- ed. The late Major Wilson, of Mor- Santon, said he would never die hap py until he heard of a lawyer be- ing bung, and after Cluverius was hung in Richmond for killing his SweetlLeart the major expressed an entire willingness to go.

How to help somebody's political aspira- tions is.of more concern than how to pass legislation that’ will help home people. The people are to blame. If they are interested in a dog law or any other local matter, they should make their influence felt on the legislator.» while he is a candidate. They should ask him, when he is on the campaign, wheth- er he favors this, that or the other measure and should give him to understand that they must have an answer. They ought to elect a Man who will do what they want; they can find out how the candidate If they go ahead and elect him }and take chances, they have only themselves to blmaeif they are dis- appointed. | Damage Suit For Campaign Talk Fails. | The $20,000 damage suit brought iby Hugh Waltace against C..

He is said ta feel that if he had posseased thé veto power that when the Legislature was grinding away at a 2.40 clip on local bills, the veto would -have been a very forceful reminder=that there were some administration proposed measures to be conaidered. Governor Kitchin felt that about a! he could do was simply td recom- mend. Knowing these facts, gome little conjecture has been indulged in here on account of the. follow- ing trom Governor Wilson’s speech along the line of exercise of the | power of the Governor: | “Look what has happened. When) I ran for Governor, my opponent be- gan by saying he was going to be a constitutional Governor. He went on to epecify what he meant by a constitutional Governor. He said he would take the liberty of proposing such measures as he thought wise, but he thought his duty would end at that. and it was neither his du- ty nor his privilege to insist that these measures be considered by the Legislature. I said if that was his conception of a constitutional ~ Apprived. Righmond Titaes-Dispatch. It is now certain that’ the pro- posed sixteenth amendment to. the Federal constitution, which would make possible the levy of an income tax, will not become law this year. The amendment hag been ratified b t 30 States, but five more are neces- sary, aid they are not to be had. The change cannot be adopted un- til 1912, if then. If Arizona and New Mexico are admitted, six more Staves. will be needed for the ratifi- cation of the measure. Three States are at present con- sidering the proposed amendment—— New York, Connecticut and Florida. The following 12 States either have failed to act on the resolu- tion or have rejected it: . Delaware, | Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Isl- and, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia,West Virginia andWyoming Next year there will be opportuni- ty for reconsideration in the Leg- islatures of Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode. Island, Louisiana and Vermont. Unless special seagions are called in some of the other States, which will ratify the pro- posed alteration in the national organic law, the measure will not go through, if it. do go through, until 1912.

Govern>r I was going to be an uncon-| stitutioval Governor; that I was not | only going to make proposals, but | if they were not acted upon I want- | ed to Kaow the reason why. Now| that is not a role for a r— | after beiug associated for one ses-| sion only with a Legislature,- and | they arc au unusual body of men, it | is disagreeable to be regarded as | @ perzon putting duress upon the | people’s representatives. It was, necessary for me to take that po- sitiou for the reason that nowhere in the United States are the people satisfied unless somebody in par-| ticular u::deitakes to see after their affairs | “You know that no excuse that | the President of the United States can make will relieve him of the crit- icism of the people of the United States if he does not undertake to | be a leader. They will forgive his mistakes, but they will not forgive him if he declines to lead. And so with the men of the States, with whose affairs I am familiar,with re-| gard to their Governor. They in- sist that. their Governors take the direction of affairs—that ig not, because they particularly admire their Goveruor, but because they want the thing to be under tite hat of somebody in particular; they had rather have the hat going aroun# the State and be able to follow than not to be able, because if a Governor makes a fool of himself they all kuew it; he is not danger- ous to anybody; he has mot got a vote in the Legislautre; he has not got a single weapon, except the weapun of debate, except the weap- on of persuasion. His only weap- ou is that of reason, that of character, and nobody is going to be afraid of reason and of charac- ter. I remember a Senator of the United States from New Jersey tell- ing me that he wished the Pres ident of the United States had no right to send messages to Congress; that was when Mr. Roosevelt was sending about one a week. I said: ‘Senator, you are putting it wrong, I think; it is not that he sends messages, but that he publishes them in the newspapers, and if the public agree he does not stop to hear what you have to say. It is a process of obscuring your influence} What happens is that the shadow of a message eclipses you; nobody can see you, and the people of the United States are anxious to see their Senators eclipsed by the Presi- dent of the United States, because they cannot watch the 90 Senators; they cannot feel towards any Sena- tor that he represents the whole United States; they want somebody who repregents all of them; they want him where they can see him.’.”’} Increase of a Million and a Half in Cotton Acreage.

College, ’ é * LEAZAR PORTRAIT PRESENTED. Leazar Literary Society of the A. Just prior to the beginning of the Raleigh, the Leazar Literary Society, named in honor of the late Augustus Leazar, of Ire- dell, the real founder of ‘the A. and M. Collgee,’-and whose efforts in the Legislature resulted in the es- tablishment of the institution, for- mally presented a portrait of Mr, Leazar to the college. The exercises were held in the college auditorium andi Mr. H. R. Cates, president of the: Leazar society, presided. Mr. Louls T. Yarborough, a member of the class of 1893 and a charter member of the Leazar society, was present. The following. .accounmt,..of the proceedings is from the Ral- eigh News and Observer: Chief Justice Walter Clark, who ha¢ been invited to speak about the character and career of Augus- tus Leazargaid that the Leazar so- ciety was. well named—much better than if it had chosen a name «from Greek. After tracing Mr. Leazar’s ancestry and education, the Chief Justice went on to tell how Mr, Leazar gave honorable and extended service to the Confederacy, how he taught for 17 years after the war, and how, after some experi- eace at farming and editing, he entered public service for theState. For four consecutive terms, seid Judge Clark, Mr. Leazar seryed in the House, supporting every pro- gressive public measure and in par- ticular the movement for better State education. After giving an account of Mr. Leazar’s eminent service in the StateAssembly and as superintendent of the State peni- tentiary, Judge Clark said that the greatest service Mr. Leazar has rendered the State was in making effective through the General As- sembly, the great idea of the Wa- tauga club, that there should be @ State Agricultural College. Justice Clark said in conclusion thet the Leazar society, which had shown its good sense in commemorating the services of Mr. Leazar, would profit by Mr. Leazar’s example of broad patriotism, efficiency, culture and influence over men. The portrait of Mr. Leazar was formally presented to the college by Mr. George R. Ross, of the 1911 class,who expressed the hope that Mr. Leazar’s character would con- tinue to impress itself on the mem- bers of the society named in his honor,anud that many other portraits would from time to time be given to the institution. When the portrait was unveiled and presented, President D. H. Hill responded briefly but cordially, pay- ing tribute to Mr. Leazar and his great services, to the Watauga club, whose idea Mr. Leazar had made effective, and to the Leazar society, whose self-sacrifice had made the gift possible. Other portraits, he hoped, would be presented to the college—of ‘all the Watatiga club: members and later of such Leazar} society men as might become dis- tinguished. In conclusion Dr. Hil! ex- pressed the hope that the Leazar | society would grow in influence and that the character and services of | Mr. Leazar would prove a continued inspiration. NO GRAFT IN PANAMA. In Addition to Digging the Canal, the Government is Doing All Sorts of Things in Panama With out Graft. Richmond Times-Dispatch. The paternalistic activities of thé United States government in Pana- ma is the subject of an article in the Coming Nation, by Albert Ed- wards, a civil engineer. The ex- periment is being conducted in the Panama canal zone,where more than 35,000 men are at work in the em- ployment of the government. Incidental to the digging of the canal, the government operates 500 miles of railway, rups very good hotels, mess halls and restaurants, a big department store, and 13 branch stores, provides recreation and amusement for young and old, encourages labor unions, has a liber al workmen’s compensation system, ,|furnishes medical attendance, makes jice and delivers it at the door of the consumér for $4 a ton, and per- forms a great many other functions jthat areinthe domain of private en terprise in the States. ~All this is done succesefully afid with no sus- picion of graft. The reason for the absence of graft on the Isthmus was suppli¢t’ Mr. Edwards by one of the employes It is due to the unswerving honesty of Colonel Goethals, whom every one calls “The Old Man.” As the employe said to Mr. Edwards: “Well, say, this is a government job—the biggest ever pulled off on the foatstool. Have you seen any graft running around loose here? I guess not. The Old Man's - on grafters. You can’t put anything over on Goethals, no matter how small,”’ To dig the canal and make it go will have been.q mighty accomplish- ment for this nation. To have ex- pended every dollar honestly and) wisely in the performance of the task without any “rake off’? any- where, will be a great and impress ive lesson for the whole country Graft isn’t necessary anywhere, any time.

The Landmark long ago decided that it couldn’t act as guardian for the folks who are taken in by ev- ery fakir who comes along, for there are a large number of people who just naturally have to be faked oc- easionally. If they are restrained in one direction. they will seek in another to find somebody who will take their money. While disclaim- ing any responsibbility in the matte: of guardianship, The Landmark is always glad to put ite readers on guard, and so it is passing along the following, which appeared in the Lexington Dispatch last week: “Last week the Dispatch refer- red to certain men who had been at work in the county for a week or ten days sellmg a combination tire-setter, fence-stretcher, drill, saump-puller, etc. The plan of thes swindlers was to sell to every man a large number of the machines, taking in payment for them a note. Every purchaser was made an agent for the machine and was given cer- tain territory to work, and the smooth article behind the skin game gave his victim to understand tat ee was to pay for the machines with just half of the profits that would come from thp sale of them. After bunco artist had flown the buyer found that he had signed a simple Promissory note and nothing more. These notes were later sold for 75 cents on the dollar, and, in the hands of an innocent purchaser, for Value, will be collectible, no matter how much fraud was used in getting them The man who engineered the game in Davidson county was W. H. Griffith, of Bloomfield,Ind.and the Dispatch has certain and absolutely reliable information that he is a trickster, a confidence man and a fraud. He has been engaged in several shady deals, keeping alwaye—so far as our knowledge goes—within the bounds of the law. So far as we know he has never beenin jail. This gentieman came to the Dispatch office last week and coolly informed the business manager that the Dis- patch coujd not hurt him in Davidson county,for he had already made his hau! and was ready to move on. BEARS SHOOTING THE CHUTE. Elder Banks Tells a Good Story But the End is a Little Strong. Hickory Democrat. “What is that black thing shoot- ing the chute?” asked a workman of the Ritter Lumber Co. at Morti- Mer one day last week, of his com- Panions All eyes were turned toward the head of the chute, which is half a Mile long, extending up the top of a@ steep mountain It is a deep groove made by hewing out fogs, and then the groove is greased to Make the saw logs cut out high up @p the mountain side slide down easily It deesn’t take long to shoot this Chyiiu,jand in a few moments the temtermen involuntarily jumped backward as a grunting hank of blaclg hair swept past them into the stream under the mouth of the chute It wag a gbear cub! With a low growl. it "splattered out of the wa- | ter, clambered up the bank and ran | iuto the woods fhe lumbermen were too amazed to try to head little Bruin off; and fell to discussing how he must have slipped into the chute as he was huuting huckleberries on the peak, and lost his hand-hold. Now, there is no wild beast of | the forest that loves a frolic more than the genus Ursus. This is the reason we so often see the danc- ing Dbear.. A bear has a keen sense of humor. Indeed your bear is a born Irishman This shoot the chute episode was just as funny to lithe Bruin himself as it was to the workmen, as the sequel will show. Several days later the workmen at Mortimer saw three bears thump-} ing down the chute One was Ltt- tle Beother and he had his mother and sister with him. No sooner down than they scrambled up, and came down again; and again; and again. This they did for several days, till the lumbermen began to get too familiar. Then the bears cut out the chute shooting till Sun- days, and if the State Press Associ- atiom will stay over Sunday at Le- noir, Capt. Nichols will give them a special train up to Mortimer to Colored Oitizens Learn to Play the Game, Two colored citizens Hamp Parks and Clarence Gray, have been indulging in the pas- time of ordering goods and paying for same with bogus checks, where- fore they now find themselves in of Wilkes, and being unable to satisfy a bond by drawing a check for the $506 in jail they will doubtless remain until called to the judgment seat. Parks and Gray secured blank checks of the Citizens’ :Loan and Trust Company, the Bank of North Wilkesboro and the Elkin bankand thus equipped they ordered goods from Chicago, Philadelphia and oth- er distant cities, paying for same in checks. The Wilkesboro Patriot says the aggregate of the swindles is about $500. Drawing bogus checks is a de- partment of swindling usually the exclusive province of the white man, but the colored man is a good imi- tator and there is no special reason why he should not engage in it if he ig amind to.

DeGraw admitted; a tew days ago, to the committee of the House of Congress, which is ip- ’ vestigating the expenditure of the Postoffice Department, that $900,- 000 was turned-back into the Treas- ury at the end of the fiscal year ef, 1910 out of the appropriation for extending the rural free deliy- ery service. He admitted that this was done in spite of the fact that people in all parts of the country were clamoring for service, in spite of the criticisms which were made in ‘| Congress, and also in spite of the fact that about 1,000 applications for routes had been given favorable con- sideration. When pressed for an explanation, Mr. DeGraw testified that the -fail- ure of the départment to spend this $900,000 was mainly due. ‘to certain plans of reorganization with- in the department, involving a mer- ger of the executive divisions, hand- ling star route service and . rural service. It had been the intention to make this merger effective July 1, 1910, but the department became involved in ya deluge of clerical work, partly due, Mr. DeGraw said, to calls of Gongress for informa- tion, and it! was not feasible to make this merger until last Oc- tober. “Had it not been for the delay due to this merger not’ going into effect,” said Mr. DeGraw, “the de- Partment would have been able to spend this money for rural routes. We did not spend the money, although it was available, because we thought it could not be wisely spent under these conditions.” When pressed by Judge Alexander for a more specific aswer as to why the rural service had not been installed where it had been recom- mended in many instances, Mr. De- Graw said the applications had not been fully examined. All of which means that the sav- ing in the -Postoffice Department has been effected by curtailing the service, especillay the rural mail service. Postmaster General . Hitch- cock has been patting himself on the back for a year and calling attention to the saving in the Post- office Department, which is now claimed to be self-supporting. The saving was effected, he claimed, without curtailing the mail service. The revelation made by Mr. DeGraw sbows that the Postmaster General, has handled the truth carelessly. Democrats Agree on 20 Per Cent. Duty on Wool. The propcsed revision of the wool tariff—the Underwood bdill—was unanimously approved by a fullDem- day night. Its endorsement follow- ed a plan which effectually disposed of the opposition of the free w advocates. Through a which leaves the Democratic party open in the future to retiew ite ad- vocacy of free trade in raw wool, but which commits all Democrats to the support of the present bill aS a revenue measure, the divergent interests were brought together in the cancus and almost unanimous agree- ment was reached. The final vote on the approval of the Underwood biil was made unanimous, but the following members were excused from a pledge to support the cau- cus action: Representatives Francis and Sharp, Ohio, and Gray, Indiana. The resolution agreed on in a con- ference of the free raw wool advo cates, was introduced in the cau- cus by Representative Kitchin, of North Carolina, who had advocated free raw wool. His resolution declar- ed that support of a duty on raw wool should not be construed as an abandonment of theDemocratic pol- fey of free wool. The need for a duty, the resolution stated, was due to Republican extravagance, which made necessary large revenue. Speak- er Clark took the floor immediate- ly and supported the _ resolu- tion which had been framed in the conference participated in by him- self and Representatives Burleson, of Texas; James, of Kentucky; Fitz- gerald, of New York, and Kitchin, of North Carolina. The resolution was then unanimously adopted by the caucus. The bill provides for a 20 per cent. duty on wool, which is a re- duction of about 50 per cent. on the present duty. Advocates of free wool, backed by the open sup- port of Wm.-Jennings Bryan, offere: amendments putting wool immedi- ately upon the free list, or prepar- ing a gradual reduction that would abolish the entire duty within five years, but the proposition was vot- ed down. rank Preacher Killed His Wife. In a fitof jealous rage Rev.T. H. H. Gardner, a traveling preacher, beat his wife to death with a club vear Kittitas, Wash., a few days ago, and after attempting to drown himself in an irrigating ditch, gave himself up to the authorities. Inthe county jatiGardner confess- ed the murder,saying that he had feared that if he did not kill the woman she would have been influ- enced by his enemies and become un- faithful to him. He admitted that he had no reas- on to suspect his wife of wrongdo- ing ,but he says he was influenc: by occult messages. The messages have been received by him for sev- eral years, he asserts. ~ Gardner is 47 years old. His wif was 52. He has been a preacher for years, but for the past seven or eight years has been affiliated with no sect. ——— a wn a men It is worse than useless to take any medicines interrally for muscular or chronic rheumatism, All that is need- ed is a free application of Chamberlain's Liniment.

The inquiry will be conducted by a sub-committee of the committee on privileges and elections, composed of four Republi- cnas and four Democrats, four of whom voted for the conviction and four for the acquittal of the Senator last session. All Americans who suffered loss of property or were otherwise injur- ed will. secure reimbursement from Mexico, according to the State De- partment. The department already has received some individual claims but has refrained from submitting them to the,Mexican government in order to give time for the reorgani- zation following the revolution. James B. Duke, active head of the so-ealled ‘‘tobacco trust,’’ will be one of the chief defendants in the event that the government should bring criminal action against the men named in the complaint in the recent suit against the combine. The Department of Justice is now con- sidering the question. of bringing criminla suits against leading men in the American Tobacco Company. A bill has been prepared for in- troduction in the New York Legis- lature which provides for the re- iurn to the Southern States of the Confederate battle flags captured by New York troops and now exhibited in the State capitol. The proviso of the return is that each State that has a flag must return to New York State any flags captured during the war. WilliamW. Barker, paying teller of the Diamond National Bank of Pittsburg, Pa., was arrested a few days ago charged with stealing $14,- 505 of the bank’s funds. Barker is alleged to have been taking various sums from bags containing quarters and dimes. When some of the bags were examined it was found that nickels were substituted for quar- ters and pennies for dimes, the coins being scooped out of the center of the bag and the substitutes placed therein. James Fielder, a farm hand employed by J. M. McVittie, in the vicinity of Pawnee City, Neb., an- gered because McVittie objected to Fielder’s attentions to his daughter, killed McVittie and his wife and two children, wounded a third child fatally, shot three bullets into the sheriff who attempted to arrest m and then led himself. The Ohly member of the McVittie fam- ily who escaped was the girl who was the object of Fielder’s affec- tions. He shot at her but missed. Objected to Preacher Because He Ridiculed the Bible. Because Dr. John Clifford, of London,president of theWorld’sBap- tist Alliance, is a higher critic of the Bible and once referred to the miracles of the Old Testament as a collection of stories not fit to be taught to children, a motion that was made at the weekly meeting of the Baptist ministers of Atlanta to invite him to that,city, met with such opposition that it was with- drawn. Dr. Clifford is one of the best known preachers in England, and is now visiting the United States. —_—_—_————a—___ WOMEN’S BEAUTY! Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Complexion and Dull Eyes.

GREAT VALUE OF COWPEAS, Theiy Worth aa Food and Fertilt- zex——Plant Peas and Then Some. Again we desire to remind farm- ers of the importance of planting every | available, cultivated aere to cowpeas. They are valuable for the following reasons: They are fairly good human food. They are one of our most nutri- tious foods for stock. If turned under, the vines add considerable fertility to the land. If picked, the peas alone are worth $6 to $12 per acre. The vines that grow on an acre are worth $5 to $10 for stock food. Through their roots peas put into the soil $4 to $6 worth of nitrogen per acre. The vines, roots and stubble help to make soil loose and easily culti- vated. When decaying colvert minera) they help. to substances into show | Valuable plant food, They absorb and retain moisture that will aid the next crop to go through a drought easily, : They shade the soil during th hottest part of the summer, thus aiding in the formation of valuable nitrates The roots of peavines are good and | sub-soilers. They go to considerable depths and open up the earth so their/that air and water can make a deep- er soil. Peas get their nitrogen from the air, free of cost to the farmer, so that very little nitrogen is needed in their fertilizers except for poor soils. Peas feed strongly upon the supply of ' potash and phosphoric acid, therefore these substances should be suppHed to them. Many Dea crops fail for lack of acid and The price of peas is high, but this does not keep the wise farmer jtrom planting them.

The meeting last night was at- tended not only by a considerable crowd of interested Charlotteans, but by a large delegation of very earn- est citizens of Croft, Huntersville, Cornelius and Davidson, while Mr. Harry P. Deaton, of the Mooresville Euterprise, headed ai delegation from that progressive and growing little city. Quite a number of talks were made and it was clear- ly the concensus of opinion that the northern end of Mecklenburg coun- ty has gotten, go far, aehort deal when it comes to good roads. The Present road conditions between Charlotte andDavidson are described as altogether abominable and practi- cally impassable in bad weather. Mr. Harry P. Deaton, the clever editor of the Mooresville Enterprise, was present to represent Iredell and to assure the mass meeting of the readiness of his county to co-operate in building quite an extensive high- way. Mr. Deaton’s remarks were well calculated to put Mecklenburg- ers to thinking. “Mecklenburg is losing supremacy in the good roads world. There are how two counties, one in Georgia, another in Alabama, which outstrip Mecklenburg in this respect, and even the despised Guilford is now reported to have forged ahead of the former pride of the State. We of Iredell have recently passed a $400,000 bond issue, which is to be devoted to good roads exclusively. If Mecklenburg will secure the pro- posed Davidson road, and extend it to the Iredell line, we will meet you with a road to Mooresville, from Mooresville to Statesville, and from Statesville to the border of Yadkin county, which will provide a stretch of 78 miles of macadam, from In- dependence square to Yadkin.” Mr. Deaton was followed by Mr. Turner, a county commissioner of Iredell, who declared the hearty sympathy of the people ‘of his sec- tion with the movement now on foot and repeated the assertion made by Mr. Deaton, relative to the new road system in his county. Mr. Boyd, another citizen of Mooresville, spoke briefly upqn the call of good roads, and their relation to progress.

There is considerable interest in the ball game to be played between the members of the Statesville Bar Association and the Statedville Min- isterial Association next Monday afternoon and a large crowd will doubtless. witness the contest. The game will be called on the Kincaid grounds at 4.30 o'clock. It is ex- pected that the players will wear comic costumes or uniforms and it ig quite certain that some of the playing will be rather comical, as a number of the players haven't handled a ball and bat since they were barefoot boys. Anyway, the game will be well worth the price— 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. The admission fee will be collected by a committee who will tag each person as they pay. The proceeds will go to Billingsley hospital,- j rvilie’s size. But Series of elaborate entertainments to ment to keep a close count of the number of pieces of mail passing through their offices to ascertain the amonnt.of business done by each of the offices, and the figures “of some of the offices are very inter- esting. For years the receipts at the Statesville postoffice have been growing rapidly and it is not sur- prising that:the great volume = ef mail passing through the office last month compares favorably with the larger towns. The count shows there were 137,816 pieces of .outgoin mail classified as follows: First clase' 114,938 gecond 6,199, third 13,237, fourth 1,374; official matter’ 2,068, and the incoming mail was in #24,- 722 pieces, as follows: First class 72,114, second 31,541, third 17,414, fourth 2,185,official 1,468. The three city carriers delivered 38,518 pieces of the mail and the seven rural car- riers delivered 21,315 pieces. It will be seen that the total fiumber of pieces of mail passing through the office, incoming and outgoing, aggregated 262,538, a fine record indeed for a town of States- Statesville. is a town of business with the rest of the world and this business neces- sitates the use of the mails on a very large scale. It is interesting to note that the number of pieces of outgoing first class mai] is far above the incoming mail of the game class, and the reyersed condi- tion as to second class mail is equal- ly noticeable. The record of the number of Pieces delivered on each of the ru- | Tal routes will be of considerable in- terest to the patrons of the routes.

A man who called himself M. W. Foster visited on a Greensboro real estate dealer a few days ago, ac- cording to the Record, and desired to purchase suburban property. He was shown a handsome residence, declared himself pleased and drew a check for $500 to bind the trade. He said he had just sold his place near Lynchburg, Va., for $15,000. So far so good Then he asked the real estate man to assist him in cashing a check for $35 or $40, as he was short on ready money. Notwithstand- ing the deal just made, the real estate man didn’t fall into the trap. He declined to lend the as- sistance asked and next morning his customer had disappeared. His check for $500 was worthless but the real estate man was out nothing The scheme of the fakir was to get $35 or $40, and he failed. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_ It is worse than useless to take any medicines internally for muscular or chronic rheumatism.

More Boys Should Eater the Con- test—-Applications May Be Made During June. To the Editor of The Landmark: At the December meeting of the Board of Agriculture there was ap- piopriated $500 for prizes to the boys of the State who made the most corn on an acre of ground. Rules and regulations governing the contest were sent to all applicants. Since then there has been subscrib- ed by manufacturers of fertilizers about $500 more, making about $1,- 000 to be given to the boys who excel in growing corn. In many coun- tles the number of boys éntering the contest has been disappointing. In view of this I am going to hold my books open through the month of June, and will enroll any boy of | the right age who sends in his ap-| Plication. There js yet a fine oppor- tunity for some boy who has not en- tered to do so and win a prize. There will be about $100 worth of | prizes to each Boys’ Corn Club dig- | trict Only 155 boys have sent in | their applications from the ninth district, as follows: Yadkin 18, Da- vie 7, Rowan 3, Iredell 6, Catawba | 18, Lincoln 25, Gaston 32, Cleve- land 31, Rutherford 12, Polk 3. So far Wilkes is the banner corn elub county in the State. The coun- ty superintendent of that county, Mr ©. C. Wright, hag sent in 132 applications. If every county in the Btate would do agp well as Wilkes Wwe would have more than 10,000 boys in the contest studying corn growing and laying’ the foundation for better and more profitable farm- ing against the day when they shall become men and undertake the re- Sponsibilties they will then assume. What a State, agriculturally, North Carolina might become in a few years if we had 10,000 of her best boys now studying how to grow more corn and incidentally learning the foundation for better farming along all lines! Enough county Pride should possess every pro- gressive person in the district -to encourage him to give the move- ment the benefit of his or her in- fluence. Let the fathers and moth- ers of the boys in the district en- couraze them to enter the contest @nd s¢2 how much corn they can grow on an acre. The experience will be worth a great deal, even though they should not win a prize. Besides, we hope to ccontinue this work. and if a boy fails to get a prize this year he stands a better chance of getting one next year if he enters the contest uow than [f he waits until 1912 to enter. I snall be pleaged to send blanks to auy boy who wishes to enter the contest Do not write to me to enter your name, but ask for a blauk to fill out, as only those who have signed applications in my of- fice wil! be considered members of the corn club.

Charlotte Chronicle Mr. Caesar Cone has announced the completed details for the annu- al Fourth of July plenic and din- ner to the operatives of his cotton Mills, at Greensboro. The 1911 event is to be a more elaborate one than those of the past. What would the operatives of a New England mill village think of being invited to “set to”’ on a lay-out of 500 gal- lons of ‘ice cream, assorted flavors; 20,000 fresh eggs; 10,000 smoked frankfurters; 5,000 bags of peanuts: 10,000 fancy watermelons to wéigh 35,006 pounds; 1,000 pounds of con- fectioneries; 100 crates of luscious Elberta peaches; carload ripe pineap- ples to be slicea and buried in 1,000 pounds of sugar; 50 gallons of fresh sweet’ milk for the babies and young | children; 5,000 buns*for sandwiches {100 crates of ripe tomatoes; 15,00 Sweet and sour pickles; 6,000 ears of corn? Yet that is the commissary contract for the pu.enic entertain- ment of. the ceople employed in the Cone mills. Not only do these peo ple experience the liberal evidence of good will of the Cones on the Fourth of July, but on Thanksgiving Day aod Christmas, they live o: turkey and cranberry sauce and things of that kind. ‘This is typical of the relations existing between Southern cotton mill owners and their help, and it is a feature of Southern cotton mil] life that the Northern philanthropists ‘are ‘not i! the least concerned about. The Chronicle suggests to Mr. Cone that he make an effort to have of these Northern newspaper Magazine writers spend the Fourt! fis guests nd and Federal Investigation of Trust Begun.

J. Duke’s place is on a level stretch of bottomland near the Watchung | mountains, and the view from his | home is limited.

The Dukes had a 30 per cent. interest in the capitali- zation.They had built up their busi- ness from $200,000 a year in 1883 | to $4,500,000 in 1889, and In the | last year they spent $800,000 in ad-| vertising. It was the costly ad-| vertising war in the cigarette trade that brought the five big cigarette | companies together. They controll-| e4-90 per cent. of the country’s out- | put. Duke has made cigarettes pop-} ular in this country. The enormous increase in the consumption of cigar- ettes has been the result of his.ag- | gressive advertising campaign. | As late as 1870 the annual pro- | duction was less than 50,000,000 | cigarettes, or about one for every inhabitant. Now it is 7,000,000,000 or about 80 times as large per cap- ita. Only within the last five years the output of cigarettes has doubled.

Carr, The Landmark hopes he will not allow himself to be per- suaded tog enter the race. He is a big-hearted, generous man and de- eserves recognition for what he has done for his State and his party. But opportunity has offered in the past to give him that recognition and it was not given. This being true, Gen. Carr should not allow a few over-zealous friends to impose on his good nature and persuade him into taking a course that offers lit- tle prospect of success. Col. Joseph Garrard, commanding the cavalry post at Fort Myer, Va., who disapproved Private Frank Bloom's efforts for promotion be- cause Bloom is a Jew, received a merited rebuke from the President. The army and the navy is full of such snobbery, and it is always the ease, the very people who talk most about family and social connections have no family connection to speak of. In the matter of race lineage the Jews have much of which to b- proud, but in matters where worth only is to pe considered, as in this ease, the lugging in of race antip- athy is contemptible. Col. Garrard edmitted that Bloom was “undoubt- ediy honest and upright, ambitious and probably deserving,” but be- eause his father was a tailor and his family didn’t move in the so- called first circles, the colonel did mot desire him as a social amd personal associate. In his private capacity one has a right to choose his own associates—to associate only with those who are personally agreeable to him. In this country any individual has the right to as- Pire to the public service and his Promotion in that service should be @ matter of merit. The social end ~Bhould not figure because it has mO proper place in it and it is a fact thatthe men usually prominent in social matters are worthless in | Matters where manhood and merit a@re the requisites. Glory to Pres- ident Taft! “His rebuke of the army officer following so closely his knock of the club snobs in Washington, shows that he not only has the Proper opinion of these gentry, bu: he has the courage to express it. ee eeegpeeceeneremssenees Of course the closing of the en- terprises of the American Tobacco Company in this town would hurt, but‘as for our part we are not an- ticipating anything of the kind. If the company has been violating the law we believe that it can comply with it and still do business at a profit.--Durham Herald. at That's the sensible view. Before there was any tobacco trust,the to- bacco business was profitable in North Curolina, and if there “had never been a tobacco trust we nave no doubt that Durham would be as large a town and as PPOsperous as it is if no more. The tobacco trus: has ceveloped the business but that development has tended solely to the advantage of the trust— to. crush Out al! opposition and name the Price of the raw product.

The North Carolina Corporation Commission announces its opinion that the cities ‘ang incorporated towns in this State have the right to leave the actual fixing of the tax rates for city purposes this year until after the new tax valuations are made. The matter can be opened at the June meetings this week and final action deferred un- til the new tax valuations are fin- fshed and in hand.

Sixty-three persons were killed, seventy-five wounded and propetty worth $50,000 was wrecked today by ai earthquake which shocked the Mexican capital apd injected a ncte of tiugedy into what was to have been a day of pure rejoicing over the arrival. of Francisco I, Madero, Jr. When tke work of searching the ruins is completed, it is possible-that the list of dead will be increased somewhat, as hiding here and there throughout the city there doubtless are many wounded,who, with tradi- tional fear of the authorities and govérnmenet hogpitals, are anx‘cus to evade discovery. The property loss estimate is“ based on calculations made by own- @rs aud coatractors. Little of the loss is covered by ineurance. . It wee 4.26 o’eclock when the first shock was felt, According to the Meteorological obgervatory,the great- est intensity was reached at the end of the first minute, but the in- struments continued to record the shocks fourteen, minutes more. The disturbance was vacillating and almost free from trepidatory Motion ¢ More than half of the dead = ac- counted for were soldiers. They were caught between the falling walls of the artillery barracks at San Cos- =e near the Mexican Central sta- tior Although the shock was plain- ly felt in all parts of the city, few reaiized the magnitude of the catas- trophe until late in the forenoon, be Cause the casualties were confined to a comparatively small area. The imhabitants were slow to realize that this was the most serious shock the capital has suffered in a score of years. No personal property ofAmericans was dumaged, and, with the cxcep-/| tion of one Chinese killed, no for- | @€igners were injured. In the bar-| racks where the soldiers were killed | twelve women also lost their | lives. | They were the wives of atrillerymen | Seventy-two soldiers were sleeping! in the nouce. Approximately thirty- | five were quartered on the firet | floor, the remainder on the second. | The outer wall fell and the roof, | crashiug down on the sleeping men | on the secund floor, hurled them | Gown through the ceiling on their! comrades below The bodies of thirty soldiers have been recovered. Three are missing and sixteen are | wounded, a few severely. Those who escaped began the | work of rescue at once. Women, whose soldier husbande-were in the | Pile, stood by wailing in groups | while children clung to their} mothers’ dresses and stared curious- | ly at the gruesome scene.

In the first Place, it comes from two classes of the business interests of the country ——those who own and control the lumber supply of the United States and those who are engaged in the manufacture of print paper, and of whom the largest manufacturers own much of the spruce wood sup- ply of the United States from which print paper is made. And the. sec- end class opposed to the treaty are those who claim to represent the | Taft's Chicago the country. “In the consideration of these three classes of opponents to the | treaty, I should promise that one | of the great reasons for its mak- ing and submission to Congress, was the conservation of our natural re- | sources. It is perfectly evident | from the statistics that our genera! lumber supply and our supply of | spruce wood for paper making, are! being rapidly exhausted and that | the effect of the diminution of the | supply and the increase of the | demand is to put a high price upon | the rough lumber and wood pulp. “Under the Payne tariff bill rough lumber is dutiable at $1.25. | Under the reciprocity agreement | that duty is removed. I submit that | as lumber is essential to all classes, | farmers, merchants, as the price | has gone far beyond what it ever | was in the past, and as our supply | is being exhausted, we ought, when we can, to enlarge the sources from which cur-people can secure it at rbasonable prices. “Secoud, as to print paper. The | tariff board has made a most ex- | haustive examination of the com- | parative ccst of production of print | Paper iu the United States and Can- | ada. This report shows that the | mills best situated in the United | States with the best machinery, | can manufacture print paper at a slightly less cost than the mills best Canada; that the Ca- hadian mills on an average have | uewer machinery than the United | Stites mills; that there are quite | a number of U.ited States mills that use old machinery, and there- | for2 do not couduct their business on economical lines; that the av-| erage cost of production in al] of the mills of the United States,includ-| ing the poorest mills, is about 35) more a ton than the cost of produc- | tion in Canada, with its newer mills, and that this $5 is just about the | difference between the cost of wood pulp in the United States and the cost of pulp wood in Canada. It} Seems fairly reasonable to Suppose, | too, that the pulp wood which only grows north of the forty-ninth”"*a#.: gree of latitude, will be exhausted | in the United States or remain in| the control of a few persons be- | gause of the drain of the United | States mills. | | It is of the highest importance, | }therefore, not only to the con-| jSumers but to the manufacturers {Of print paper, in order that they | |May secure their raw material at a | | reasonable price, to secure a letting |\down of the price of pulp | wood. The provinces ofCanada have | | control over the crown lands in which | nine-tenths of the pulp wood {s/| |8rown and they have imposed re- | |Strictions and export duties of va- | | rious kinds upon the pulp wood inj} ithe crown lands, in order to prevent | jthe export of the wood except in! | the form of paper. The agreement | Provides.that whenever.the Canadian | Provinces remove ll {upon the exportation of Pulp wood, |then Canada will permit United | States paper to come into Canada | free, and the United States will | | Permit Canadian paper to come in |free into the United States. | | This exact agreement is | \ |Mittee and as passed by the House. | Instead, in order to induce | Canadian provinces, over whom the} | lift the restrictions upon the expor- |tation of their pulp wood, it is pro- | Vided that when paper is made in | Canada from wood grown on land ;not under export restrictions the pa- | { free; and it is hoped that the dif- | ference of $5.75 between the duty | on paper from restricted wood | and no duty on paper made from | Unrestricted wood, will induce the Provinces to lift their restrictions. | “It is thus apparent that while a | small amount of paper may come | in free into the United States un- der the existing tariff, the paper Made from nipe-tenths of the pulp wood of Canada will pay a duty of $5.75. It seems to me that this is treating the manufacturers of the United States fairly. It is a provis- fou calculated to secure to them a Source of supply where they can get their wood at $5 less a ton than in this country, with the disadvan- tage of a small competiton of pa- Per made in Canada from Canadian wood, upon which there is no re- striction. It is a provision looking far into the future, and which we all hope may create a condition of absolutely free trade in paper and its matertals, a condition that can- | did aud sagacious paper manufactur- ;ers will admit is the best thing for |the industry, as it certainly is for the consumer. The third class of opponents to the bill are these who claim vocif- erously to represent the whole farm- ing industry of the United States, This, of course, is a much more formidable opposition than the Special interests to which I have referred, and it is but natural that theso special interests should be found co-operating with those who claim to Trepregent the farm- ing interests in arousing the farm« er to the horrors and disasters that farmers and agricultural intérests of| | Washington not em- | | bodied in the bill as recommended | Of time. ‘|to the House ways and means com- the |and the United States cannot but in- erease the sale of agricultural pro- ducts across the border both ways to nearer markets than they now reach in many instances. The trade will be beneficial to both the seller and the buyer. It will not, in. my judgment, réduce the price of wheat or other farming products for our people in any marked way. It will, however, by enlarging the source of supply,prevent undue fluc- tuations and it will and ought to prevent an exorbitant increase in the prices of farm products which, as they have been for the last three or four years, have incurred great- ly to the profit of all engaged in agriculture, : “Tt have been attacked on the floor of the House and elsewhere as occupying an inconsistent po- jsition. It has been said that I have urged the reciprocity agreement withtheidea of lowering the cost of living on the one hand and then have asserted that the farmers would not be injured by reduction in the price at’ which they sell thefr products on the other. It, is asked is ‘t possible to reduce the cost of living on the one hand and ‘maintain the present prices of farm products on the other? My own impression fs that the cost of farm products is determined by the world’s supply and not by local con- ditions, or tariff, or otherwise and that so long as the movement to- ward manufacturing and away from the farms continues and the supply of farm laborers is reduc- ed, a continuance of high prices for farm products is inevitable. But I do think that reciprocity will oen- large the reservoir or the supply of farm producta for our people and thus prevent undue enhance- ment of prices beyond the present Standard. If this be the case, then, neither the farmer wil] be injured nor wiht prices be tncreaséd.” Conscience Money on the Installmen Plan Asheville Gazette-News. A certain business man of Ashe- ville, who, for obvious reasons,does not want his name made known, has a conscience fund, which promis <s to grow indefinitely. Just four months ago he receiv- ed a letter, containing a ten-dollar bill, accompanied by a slip of pa- per, on which was written with a typewriter the following: “This is conscience money, and I owe you a great deal more.”’ There was no Lame signed and the gentleman stat- ed that he had no idea who it might be who was sending the money. The letter was mailed on a train. One month later he received an- other letter containiing the same amount in currency, the slip of type written paper containing about the Same wording as the first. On the first of the third month -he received still another ten dollars containing the statement that it was conscience money. These letterg, too, were mailed on trains and both indicat- ed that more money might be forth coming. This morning he received the fourth letter, which differed from the others in that {t was mailed in Asheville, and it, cogitained the statement that the recipient would never know where thé nioney came from until it was all paid The gentleman says that henow has a faint idea as to who the send- er might be and that he weuld not speak of the matter except that the sender of the money Might see this story and if he should decide to make himself known, he would like to express his appreciation of the action and would give the send- er any aid in his power.

The present rules of practice in the Supreme Court of the United States were promulgated in 1842 and have been changed but little since then.

By far the most enthusiastic wel- come. given the Central Highway party on the first week of «their trip from the Tennessee line to Ral- eigh, was t in Iredell county— in. Mooresville and vicinity Friday afternoon and evening and in States- ville Saturday. Dr..J..H. Pratt, the State geolo- gist, who wil! have the final say in locating the route, left Mooresville goon after 7 o'clock Saturday morn- ing, going first to Buffalo Shoals, where it is proposed to build the ‘ Statesville bridge, and coming from there to Statesville over the pro- posed highway route. Other mem- bers of the party, escorted by three or four machines from Statesville, left Moorceville yabout 8.30. In the vicinity of Mooresville other Statesville machines joined the party and when town was reached at 10 o’clock’ about 15 mechines were in line. After a short stop at Hotel Ire- dell and a visit to the Commercial club rooms, the public meeting be- gan in the court house. The Old Borth State band furnished music and the court room was soon com- fortably filled with people from the town ‘and county and neighboring towus. Mayor Caldwell made _ the addreas of welcome and presented Mr. H. B. Varner,chairman of the highway commission, the key to the city—a mammoth bronze key—as 60 additional assurance that the visit- Ors Were to entcr in and take pos- session. Mr. Varner spoke briefly, saying the party had received the best reception ip Iredell it had r2- celyed atiywhere and commendiag the Iredcli yeople for voting $490,- 999 of bouds for good roads, tne largest amount so. far voted by any couuty in the state. Dr. Pratt wage the next speaker. Me also praised Iredell for voting the bonds and said the next best and most important step had been a good road if it is given proper at- tention; plenty of men may know how to construct and maintain roads, but few of them have shown they know how. After construction the maintenance is most important. As to the Central Highway,Dr.Pratt said he wished he knew where the road was to be located; that is yet to be settled. This highway is not for automobiles alone; it is a high- way for all the people and probably eight to ten vehicles will pass over & to one machine. In commending the county for voting bonds Dr. Pratt condemned the township plan, The proper way, he said, was to take the county as the unit, as Iredell has done. Mr. Jas. A. Wellons, of Johnston county, said he hardly knew how to talk to Iredell people. They needed no exhortation;for they had already joined the church of Good Roads and he could only comfort the elect. He took off his hat to Iredell when he reached the county Mine. The work already done here ig an exam- ple and inspiration to the State: It will bring people to Iredell and they will stay. Mr. P. B. Beard, chairman of the county commissioners of Rowan, gave greetings of Rowan to her daughter, Iredell, and Col. F. A. Olds, the noted newspaper corres- pendent, brought greetings from Raleigh, paid tribute to Iredell and told in his entertaining way of incidents of the trip. The meeting was closed with a stirring speech from Hon. W. D. Turner, who im- pressed the fact that by way of Statesville is the logical route for . the Central Highway. We have ac- cepted the conditions and are ready forthe road. He knew the route was not to be won by flattery, but we have the facts to support our con- tention. Alluding to the fact that the route is to be selected by the State geologist, Mr. Turner men- tioned that while a member of the Legislature he had prepared and in- troduced the bill establishing the geological survey. After the meeting at the court house the visitora were escorted to the club rooms. The suncheon given by the club ian the Anderson building was com- plete iu all reepects and was thor- ovrnly enjoyed. In addition to the higbway party and quite a number of guests from nearby towna and the country, many members of the club and other Statesville people eujoyed this pleasing social feature of the day—enjoyed the excellent menu and the other features of the occasion. The dining hall was at tractively. decorated and the table tastefully arranged. Mr. J. H. Hoffmann, the man for the place, was toastmaster and there were fitting responses by Col. F, A. Olds, who branded Iredell as “the lighthouse of western. North Carolina,” because of thig county's great etep forward in voting $400,- 000 for botids; by Chairman Var- 4 metter of roads was true and volun- ‘Jang “Statesville, the Logical High- .| Was Just as tove ag the other ner, who sald that tredeli. had al- ready done the work and there was nothing to do but sing her praises. In hig respouse Mr. R. M. Phillips, the Greensboro uewapaper man, sald that he had been with the party on all the trip, but he had now reached a place where he was willing to stop and etay. Mr. T. ¥. Hudson, of Selisbury, gave further assurance that Rowan is for States- ville in the location of the route and. when Mr. Osborne Brown, of Long Island, Catawba county, was called he admitted that all that had been said of his county in the teered to be a good roads mission- ary to his people. He explained that only the river separated him from 1 ll and he was influenced from th de the river. Mr. B. P. Beard of Salisbury, thanked Statesville for her hospitality and expressed pleas- ure at 60 Much good roads enthusi- asm, and Mr. €. M. Miller, of Salia- bury, informed the assembly that Rowan’s portion of the highway is now in course of construction and within a few miles of the Iredell line. Mr. Frank McCubbins, also of Salidbury and a former Iredell man, was glad to gay that Salisbury is for Statesville. Mr. R. Duke Hay, who was here in his machine, brought greetings from :Winston, and Dr. E. E. Kluttz brought the good will of Troutman. Dr. T. E. Anderson, al- ways a good after-dinner speaker, was not caught off his guard, and in his response Mayor Caldwell as- sured the visitors that their pres- ence was an _ inepiration, but “Statesville wamts solid comfort.” Others who responded were Mr M! C. Quinn, of Salisbury, and Judge Long, Capt. Gregory, and Messrs. G. E. French, Z. V. Long and D. M. Ausley, of Statesville. Mr. French, whose good roads enthusiasm is gen- uine,made the speech of the occa-| gion, in which he impressed the! trustees with the fact that Lredell is going to have the best roads of ang county, is going to have the best bridge across the Catawba for the road leading direct from Salis- bury through Statesville to the river, and “we've got to have the war.” He pointed to the ‘Bearing ‘‘Statesvilie, the Best Town in North Carolina,” Route,” and insisted that one both are true. ble presentation claims. The tables were attended by a company of young ladies whp were often referred to by the visitors as “the angels,’ these being Misses Mary Hill, Grace Shepherd, Louise Sherrill, Beii and Lura Guy, Charley Tombin, Marion Yount, Hazel Wal- lace, Katherine White, Mary Bettie and Fannie Feild, Corrinne Morri- gon,and Adabelle Barringer. Credit for the success of the event is due Messrs. W. M. Barringer and R. O. Deitz,members of the committee on arrangements. and Mesdames Bar ringer and Deitz, ES. Pegram and D. J. Craig, who assisted the com- mittee in preparing the luncheon. The reception hours at the club were from 10 to 6 o'clock and afi during the day there was a contin- aous stream of people passing in and out. Refreshing lemonade and cigars were served all during the day. The town put on a gala day ap- pearance in honor of the visit of the highway party. The club rooms and court house and several of the business houses were attractively dec- Orated with flegs and buntings and there were many banners welcoming the visitors to ‘Statesville, the Best Town in North Carolina.’’ Automo- biles amd carriages were decorated and bore the town slogan banners and the club members and visitors wore big white and red badges in- scribed “Statesville, the Best Town in North Carolina, the Logical High- way Route.”’ While the party was at luncha picture of the dining hall was taken and immediately following the lunch- eon the automobiles lined up on west Broad street and another pic- ture was taken. The pictures were shown Saturday night at the Cres- cent moving picture show and will appear later in Southern Good Roads, edited by Mr. H. B. Varner. Later in the afternoon the visitors were taken for a drive over e town, out to the State Farm and over the road bed of the Statesville Air Line railroad. His was an admira- of Statesville’s The welcome to Iredell really be- gan at Newton Friday, where 25 to 30 machines from Mooresville, in- cluding some from Charlotte, joined the highway party and after the meeting there proceeded to the Mooresville bridge over the Cataw- da river, where a picnic was in prog- ress celebrating the opening of the bridge. A large crowd was present and short addresses were made by members of the party. Mooresville was reached about 6 o'clock. An elegant luncheon was served at the hotel and a meeting was héld inthe graded schoo! auditorium in the eve- ning. At this meeting, which was addressed by the members of the party, there was a large audience, ladies being in the majority. The Mooresville reception was not only cordial but most enthusiastic.

The franchise is for 60 years, but there is no time set as to when work on the system shall be begun or completed. Before the franchise is granted, however, the board will doubtless make require- ments as to this. Mr. Vanderford amd probably all his associates are interested in the company which has recently put in Operation a' modern street car sys- tem in Concord, where the new Edison storage battery cars are used, and Mr. Vanderford stated that it was the purpose pf hie com- pany to install a similar syatem here if the franchise is granted, The board elected Clerk Moore city regiater of deathe.

The Char Chronicle takes gote of the fact thet few of the newspapers have lined up in the sen- gtorial fight. The Landmark thinks wel] of that situation. Every Uews- paper has the privilege of champion ing his candidate and within proper bounds it is a right that may be exercised. ‘While it may sometimes we justifiable for a newspaper to be come the “thick and thin” parti- wen of a candidate in a party con test, we believe these occasions are rare. It is all right for a news- paper to say who it favors,if it feels emough interest to have @ favorite, but excessive zeal for one candidate end genera! and special criticism of all others, is not to be commended, generally speaking. In the senato- vial contest the candidates are all men who are serving the State, or have served it, in conspicuous po- gition and have rendered faithful pervice. Something good and de perved can be said for all of them and some objection can be offered to allofthem. Each newspaper has aw right to its choice, but under the circumstances The Landmark hopes there will be no undue partisanship to arouse bitterness. Give all of the candidates a square deal and let the voters decide. The State will not be ruined with any one of the candidates in the Senate. Asheville Booze Emptied in River. Asheville Gazette-News, 7th. Im the presence of a large crowd of people, assembled on the new high bridge across the French Broad river, including many members of the Asheville W. C. T. U., police officers and ‘Judge Junius G. Adams, of the city police court, and num- bering perhaps several hundreds, be- tween 3,500 and 4,000 bottles of in- toxicants recently seized under the gearch and seizure law and order- ed destroyed, were smashed against the central pier of the bridge and the liquid sent on its way down the ‘historic French Broad to the Gulf of Mexico. The destroying of the thousands of bottles of corn whiskey, beer, ale, brandy and gin, was an interesting and novel affair. It was at once an occasion of gladness for the good ‘women of Asheville, who have la- ®ored many years for the banish- ment and destruction of liquor, and ‘@ cruel moment for the thirsty, who recently have been deprived even of their ‘mornin’ mornin’”’ Especial- RECORD OF DEMOORATIC HOUSE Entitled to Commendation For W They Have Met Responsibilides. Washington: Dispatch to Baltimore Sun. The last link in the record of the DemocraticHouse for the special ses- sion of Congress of 1910 has been forged. The action of the caucus last night in unanimously adopting the Under- wood Wool bill!solves the last big problem before the Democratic lead- ers and there are no breakers ahead. So far!as the House is concern- ed, their work is practically com- plete and they are entitled to the commendation of the coyntry for the broad-minded, * anship, wholly creditable way in which they have met their responsibilities and acquitted themselves, Their refusal to play small politics and the. de- cision, promptness and golidity with which theDemocrats have acted have unquestionably strengthened the party throughout the nation and in- creased the confidence of the peo- ple in its sincerity of purpose and responsiveness . It is doubtful if any previous House ofRepresentatives has achiev- ed the record that equals the one constructed by the Democracy in the two short months of this session. In the beginning of April a legisla- tive programme was mapped out in'a Democratic caucus. It was an ambitious and progressive pro- gramme, and was received with howls!of derision from the Republi- can camp, where the conviction was then firmly lodged that the Demo- crats could be depended upon to de- stroy themselves; that the Demo- cratic party .was incapable of con- structive action and lacked the co- hesive power to hold together over any great question. The Democratic leaders quietly went ahead iwith their work. The first thing they did was to lop off the public payroll.nearly 100 utter- ly useless employes, placed there by Republicans. By refraining from filling these places with Democrats they. save about $180,000 yearly of the people’s money. Then theHouse settled down and did these things: Passed the Canadian reciprocity agreement. 7 Passed the bill providing for pub- licity of campaign contributions. d the resolution for direct election of United States Senators. Passed the free list bill, removing the tariff duty from many i necessi- ties of life. Passed the bills admitting Arizo- na and New Mexico to. Statehood. In the intervals between the pass- age of these.measures it inaugurat- ed investigations into the variou departments of the government,with a view of checking extravagance and preventing waste,and it likewise started inquiries into the history ly for the members of the W. C. 7T. U. was the destruction of the whiskey an event. It brought to them much happiness to see bottle after bottle of the fiery fluid flung “ver, the.concrete sailing of . the bridge and smashed against the reat pier at the water's edge. And they were participants, too. The of- in charge of the. affair cour- asked the ladies to assist in the “slaughter” and they gladly ac- cepted the invitation. Incidentally not ene bottle thrown by the ladies “‘missed fire.”” They hit the ‘‘bull’s ®ye’”’ every crack and a smile over- Bpread their faces as the sound “of broken glass reached their ears and the “fire-water’’ went trickling into the river. Roosevelt For Taft. ‘Washington Dispatch, 6th. President Taft, in his candidacy for the presidential nomination in 1912, will receive the unqualified endorsement of former ‘President Theodore Roosevelt, which will be uttered just as cordially as it was prior to the campaign of 1908. This fs the best political news Mr. Taft has received in’ many months, and it comes to fim in a manner that Jeaves no doubt as to its authen- ticity. The information that Mr. Roose- velt under no circumstances will al- igw his own name to be presented to the Republican national -conven- tion was conveyed to the White House several] days ago, but it did mot become known until tonight. That Colonel Roosevelt feels that the Taft administration should be ‘eontinued was brought out partly as the result of a cordial greeting between thetwo men at theCardina. Gibbons jubilee in Baltimore. {At Springfield, Mass., June ‘7, Col. Roosevelt said, with reference to the above: “There is no truth in the report that I have agreed to Bupport any man for President in 1912. I have neither made any such wtatement nor even discussed the matter. The story is made out of whole cloth.’’] Promise that this year’s wheat crop will be the greatest ever pro- @uced in this country, is given in the June crop report,issued by the Department of Agriculture. Esti-’ mates by the department’s experts indicate that approximately 764,291, 857 bushels of wheat will be har- ‘vested in this country this summer ‘and autumn, an increase of about 68.848,857 bushels over that gather- @d last year. Of winter wheat the dincreaused yield is almost 480,000 Dushels, and of spring wheat 284,- 000,000 bushels. Wm.

These investigations will be con- tinued by the committees after the adjournment, an4 their reports will be made at the next seasion. Now, the Democrats have unan- imously placed themselves behind a bill revising Schedule K of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, effecting a,re- duction in the duties on wool of about!42 per cent. Their caucus ac- tion clears the path for this bill, and it! will go to the Senate in about two weeks. When it is finally out of the way the House decks will be cleared. It is not the intention of the HouseVemocratic leaders to take up at this time a revision of the cotton schedule. They believe that they have accomplished at this session all the country expects of the party and that to attempt anything like a genéral revision of the tariff sched- ules would be unwise, particularly as it would tend to prolong the special session of Congress and keep business conditions in the coun- try unsettled. =—SSSEyE——— === Better Housed Than a King. Baltimore Sun. Mr. William Andrews Clark, re- cently a Senater in Congress from Montana and now a resident of Fifth avenue, in New York city, started work 42 years ago as a country school teacher. Then he became a merchant, a banker, a mine own- er and a manufacturer. He has ex- perienced the vicissitudes and varie- ties of. life. He has felt poverty, en dured the hardships and perils of the wilderness. And now, at the age of 72 years, he is engaged in the fight of his life—not with the wild men of the Rocky Mountains, but with the tax collectors and as- sessors of property in New York city. Mr. Clark contends that the house in which he lives should be assegs- ed at only $1,680,000. In 1910 the assessors valued it at $3,500,000 and Mr. Clark has asked the court to order a reduction. In resisting ed many witnesses, who deacribec the house as something out “of th ordinary. One witness, an architect, gave it as his opinion that no reigning sovereign anywhere in the world has so fine a house to live in. The glass used in the bathrooms is an imitation of Carrara marble and cost $37,523. Every room “in the house has a secret entrance in ad- dition to the door. The panels are of the most costly wood and where brass is used in other houses bronze is used in the Clark residence. All what kind of house a man lives he never grows very fond of the tax gatherer. —_—_— The engagethent of Miss Mary Henkel, of Lenoir, to Mr. J. A. C. Wadsworth, of Charlotte, has been announced.

Viola Young Dyer, who was il ae many ‘months, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. ; Young, on Kelly street, June 3, 1911, at 12.10 gids: wer She hac een very her cuffering was intense. The sudden closing of the little volume that held the pages of her short life was not un- expected. ‘‘At midnight the solitary light of the death chamber lamp, could be seen like the warhing gieam of the enemy’s camp fire, designating the bat- tlefield of a soul struggling with its last great enemy, the unraveling of a mys- tery, the launching of a soul upon eter- nal seas.” It--did-not. seem like the |grim Death Angel that entered tite room But an ange) of light and beauty that came in answer to the pit- iful cries for rest, and loosing the sil- ver cord, stretched its white wings and hovered over the little bed and Viola | fell asleep. The voice of the beloved |child that cried so heartrendingly, day after day, and night after night, “Mama |mama, I'm so tired, put me to sleep,” was silenced forever. The patient, loving and faithful mother knelt crush- ed in heart ‘and spirit by the idol of her heart. ‘The father bent over his loved lone’ like a great, strong, bowing oak, and the rustle of love's foliaxe was fatr- {ly audible to the listening ear.” The |brother’s usual boyish footsteps were llight with love’s considerate tread. \‘‘And there in the darkened chamber | with her slender feet unshod, She lay on a couch of lillies all dress- ed for the courts of God."’ | The funeral took place Sunday af- |ternoon at 3 o'clock in the First Baptist jchurch, in the presence of a lacge com- pany of friends, who ceme to shed a |tear of sympathy with the bereaved ones. |Mr. Maddry, the family pastor, spoke comfortingly of Viola's assurance that her faith wes in the Good shepherd, | Who careth for His sheep. A male quar- tet sang ‘‘Thero ts a teautiful land on a far-off strand.” As the soft sweet notes filled the church, it seemed as if a ray of light came down from that beautiful land and for a moment dispelled the gloom of death. Then the |\funeral procession passed slowly down | the aisle and out to Oakwood cemetery, | where the little white casket was lower- jed “Into the low, green tent whose \curtain never outward swings.'’ And leight girla, dressed in white, friends and |neighbors of the dead girl, covered the |@rave with beautiful flowers. and the | temple where dwelt the soul was left til the last trump shal) sound.

' To the Bditor of The Landmark: In wiew of the unusual weather condition prevailing inthe Pied- mont section of the State and the is necessary for the farmers to practice close cul- tural methods in order to oon serve the soil moisture. The weath- er bureau informs us that there is now a deficiency of 18 inches in. the rainfall. These conditions may change at any time, but the fact that there is a deficiency should put every farmer to hig best in the matter of cultivating his crop. [If there is a small amount of soil mois ture being carried over from the it is evident that — ft will take an abundance of rain dur- ing the season to produce good ercps. It takes 300 pounds of water to produce one pound of dry matter, and as we get under a normal rain-~ fall only about 1,800 tons of water per acre during the growing season from May to September, it will be readily seen that it will take nice work te conserve the moisture in sufficient quantity to produce an @v- erage crop. With a deficiency of 18 inches now, it is not probable that this will be made up during the growing season. It is to urge farmers to use eV¥- ery precaution in the conservation of the soil moisture that. this arti- cle ig written.

He has announced that if he is elected he will appoint Senor De La Barra, who is acting Presi- @ent, minister of foreign relations, mnd Gen. Reyes minister of war in this cabinet, and both men say they will accept the positions, which Yndicates that they favor Made- ‘wo’s candidacy. In securing the Support of De La Barra and Reyes, who seemingly have the confidence of the’Mexican people, Madero has made a fine stroke. He began the revolution a few months ago to @ust Diaz. He succeeded in a short time im sending the aged President into exile and it now seems that he has a clear path to the presidency. Nothing succeeds like success, and now that he has succeeded Madero is mo longer a rebel but a patriot. MATTERS OF NEWS.

The threatened strike of the 2,400 Southern railway firemen for an in- crease in wages has been averted b the success of the mediation proceed- ings which have been in progress for twoweeks. Anagreement wasreach- ed Saturday but the terms have not been made public. Settling with the firemen, however, does not dispose of the Southern’s| troubles. The 2,499 engineers of the} road are asking for a wage increase | of 25 per cent. and their case is next for settlement. The uniform success that has attend- ed the uge of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol- era and Diarrhoea Kemedy has made it a favorite everywhere. It can siways be depended upon.

Baltimore gave signal honors yes- terday to its most eminent and best beloved citizen, Cardinal Gibbons. He has long been the leading prelate of the Catholic Church of America. The people of North Carolina have always taken a deep interest in his career because he began his. im- portant ministerial duties in this State, having bean appointed Vicar Apostolic of “North Carolina in 1866, and in 1868 was consecrated | bishop and began his labors in that holy office in 1868, being at the time of his consecration the young- LaF’S LATEST PRODUCTION. Sees Various Things After Various Things Are Done, Dear Mr. Jenkins: I am glad. to know, es told in The Landmark of May 3ist, that,-you remember your 19th century teaching as found in McGuffey’s Reader. Glad to know, too, that the audience that heard it did not stun you with the ar- gument that we are living !in the 20th century. Another interesting 19th century story is in the Blue- Back spelling book and tells of the milk-maid that was going to buy a green dress with the chickens she counted before ‘they were hatched. In this 20th century addled eggs are 8o easily discovered, and.minks, hawks, diseases and markets are s0 completely controlled, that not only the unhatched brood-is counted, but their price ten weeks later is de- termimed. est bishop in the Catholic Church.

Boone Correspondence Hickory Dem- ocrat. ‘ A deed has just been registered here which conveys the great Cone estate to the Moses H. Cone Me- Dorial Hospital of Greensboro. A few days ago the heirs of the late Moses H. Cone made a deed to Mire. Moses H. Cone, of. their interest in the estate so that Mrs. Cone could dispose of the property. The property contains 3,500 acres of land on which are two artificial lakes, about 30 miles of drive ways and’a magnificent mansion. A dger park of 200 acres has about 20 deer. An orchard of about 62,000 apple trees is the principal source of tacome. There are acres and acres of fine grazing lands. A con- servative estimate of the cost of the ostate is one quarter million dollars. Mrs. Cone holds a life-time interest in the estate and gives $10,000 an- nually to keep up the property. The eondiijons imposed upon the Hospit- al are easily complied with. The drive ways must be kept open, the lakes and walks free to friends, a squere for burial purposes is re- served. The deed expresses as a consideration in keeping up this property the love Mr. Cone had for the mountain people. It is not known how the hospital will use the property. It is conjectured that many patients will be cared for here during the summer. Ty THIN HAIR ON TOP!

Washington Dispatch, 9th. Senator Simmons will oppose «the| Canadian reciprocity agreement pe the floor of the Senate unless the farmers’ free list bill is added to it. Wihile the Democrats, will unitedly support this amendement, there is no probability of its being adopted, @o0 thet on the final vote Senator Simmons will undoubtedly be record- ed against reciprocity. He voted in the fimance committee to report the bill without recommendation in order that it ‘might be debated on the floor. Asked about a report published in New York this morning that he would favor the bill, Senator Sim- mons said today, ‘I am against rec- iprocity because of its manifest in- justice: and wrong to the farmer. I will only vote for it upon condition that the free list is added as aj measure of reparation. “There is a systematic effort to create the impression that the only gincere and genuine opposition to rec- iprocity comes from the manufactur- ers of lumber and of paper.

An’. indemnity of $6,000,000 in gold will ba demanded of Mexico by the Chinese government for the slaughter of 303 Chinese subjects and the destruction of their prop- erty in Torreon, it wae asserted today. The demand will be backed up by a cruiser which is already on its way to Mexican west coast ports. Three investigators returned to- day from Torreon and placed in the hands of Shung Hai Sun of the Chinese legation, a detailed report of the carnage. This report shows J. S. Smith. Rev. L. P. Gwalt- ney preached the funeral Sunday morning at the Baptist church. The interment was in the town cemetery. Mr. Peter A Blackwelder, of Sugar Loaf township, died Thurs- day and was buried Friday.

J. H. Mciitwee&Sons’ smokipg to- bacco factory uear the depot was almost totally destroyed by fire whict was discovered shortly before 10 o'clock last night. The flames had gained much headway when dis- covered and while the fire depart- ment responded promptly to the alarm about all that could be done was to confime the flames4o the one building. T0¢ origin of the fire is uaknown. The lost will amount to eral thousand dollars, partially covered. by insurance. In attempting to get on the hose wagon in leaving the fire depart- ment Fireman J. A. Walker,who hed +the reins in hié hand, missed the step and was dragged from the fire house to the square, sustaining se Vere injuries: A bone im his léft foot 4s broken, his right knee is badly hurt and both legs are more or less bruised. His condition, however, is not considered dangerous. Quite a number of persons on the streets saw Mr. Walker being dragged and Mr.D. F. Jenkins and others stop- ped the horses on the sidewalk at the Polk Gray Drug Company’s door. Mr. Jenkins got hold of. the horses when they reached a point near Har- rison’s corner and swung on them until they were stopped. Mr. Walk- er was helped on the wagon and drove on to the fire before he was * willing to turn team over to others- was then taken back to his home and given medical attention. The fire was discovered by Mr. At- well,who conducts a restaurant and confectionery store im a small build- ing adjoining the tobacco factory. He and Mrs. Atwell had gone tothe rear of the restaurant to close the door for the night when they saw flames on the lower floor or base- ment of the rear portion of the fac- tory, through a window. The fire wae burning furiously at the time and before the fire department had” time to reach the scene the were bursting through tie windows and eating their way to the upper stories. The building was two sto ries high with basement and the rear portion was of wood, was dry as tin- der and burned unusually rapidly, 4% the contents “were prineipals re , the flames soon spread over the entire building: The fire- men were not long {n getting three stréame of water on the building and managed to confine the flames to the one building, not a single one of the number of small buildings nearby being damaged to any great extent. The fire was under control within an hour and the brick walls and small portion of building were left standing intact. The origin of the fire will proba- bly never be known. The factory closed down at the usual hour and everything about the boiler fur- nace was left in good condition. Judging from the blaze first seen the fire started some little distance fromthe boiler, nearer the cénter of the building. Mr. J. H. McElwee has been man- ufacturing smoking tobacco at the scene of last night's fire for 40 odd years and this is his third fire. On both former occasions the walls were left standing and he rebuilt on the same site,using the same walls, af- ter they were repaired. The fac- ly recently McElwee&Son purchased the Atha Chair Company plant on Water street and arrangements were being made to move the tpbacco busi neas there. New machinery will be installed in the new quarters at once and the manufacture of ‘“‘Ante- Bellum”’ and the other McElwee pro- ducts will be continued Fortunatelyy the M¢cElwees had the larger portion of théir leaf tobacco st in an- other building for the purpose juét, north of the factory and they will be ready to resume business just as soon as the machinery can be in- stalled in the new quarters. Mr. Thos. McElwee, who with his father compose the firm of McElwee & Son,was one ofthe first to reach NEW REOTOR FOR TRINITY. Rev. R. Percy Eubanks to Come to Statesville—Church News. Rev. R.

Mr. Eubanks, who has a wife and four children,will Jive inStates- ville. The Raleigh News and Ob- server has the following with refer- ence to Mr. Eubanks: “Upon accepting the resignation of Mr. Bubanks, the vestry of Christ church prepared and adopted reso- lutiong expressing its appreciation for his efficient services. During hig stay here his work has been blessed and he has won the confi-+ dence of all with whom he has been thrown, not only among those of his own denomination but among. the people of allChristian denominations in Raleigh. Mr. Bubanks is beld in high esteem and it is with reg that the Raleigh people give him up. The Statesville church is to be congratulated upon having secured him as its rector and the people among whom he has labored lend to his work their hearty endorsement, as shown in the resolutions passed by the vestry of the church whicp he served as assistant rector. Mr. Eubanks came to Raleigh a year and a half ago from Mecklenburg county,;where he was rector of St. Mark’s church. He was also mis- sionary at Rockingham and Ham- let.” The Baptist Young People’s Un- ion of the First church have elect- ed officers for six months beginning July ist as follows: C. E.

Street Improvement and Shade Trees. Grading the sidewalk on C€ented street made it necessary to take down some shade trees and this has causer neral alarm, the report being that the shade trees on most of the princi- pal streets are to beremoved. So far the board of aldermen has decided to grade one sidewalk—the one on which work is now under way — on Center street to the depot and one walk on Mulberry street, from Broad street. to Armfield street, and lay cement walks. The grading will make it necessary to remove some of the trees on these streets but it is understood to be the porpose to plant other trees to take he place of those removed. ‘| - As to the other streets no decision has been made...

If thie statement js correct the public should know it; and in the meantime we trust the agitation ‘against it will effectually exclude the book from North Carolina echools.

Im Statesville a few years ago lightning struck a_ tree and set—it-en fire. The citizen on whose prémises the tree was locat- ea asked his colored man to pour water on the flames.to put out the fire. The colored man declined on the ground’. that the effort would be wasted unless milk was poured on the flames, Thereupon the citi- wen proceeded to act for himself and when the fire was put out with water the coléred man was almost @umb with amazement to see the cherished belief of his life €ffectu- ally dissipated. ‘ s This from the Cnirlotte Chron- iule with reference to the senato- rial race: Ex-Governor Aycock will occupy &@ unique position No shafts will be shot his way.

Stranahan, superintendent | Washington Dispatch, 12th. | The Senate tonight, by §4 to 24, passed the resolution amending the constitution to ‘provide for election of Senators by direct popular vote. TheBrstow amendment giving to the Federal government supervision of such elections, was adopted, 44 to 44, the Vice President casting the deciding ‘ballot. The House has already passed the resolution. Senator Reed, of Missouri, pro- tested against the Vice President casting his deciding vote. An amendment by Senator Bacon qual- ifying the Bristow amendment to prohibit Federal supervision of elec- tion unless the State Legislature re- fuse or fail to act, was defeated, 46 to 43. The resolution as amend- ed was then finally adopted, 64 to 24. The debate on the resolution look- ing to the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people began shortly after noon. ft soon became a_ polit'cal affair. Demccratic Senators criticisej Sen- ator Bristow’s change of attitude. Mr Uristow framed the principal amendment, in the nature of a substi- tute to the main proposition, and he sought to continue the supervis- fou cf senatorial elections in Con- gress instead of delegating it to the States,as proposed by theHouse resolution. In the last session the Senator voted against an amend- ment offered by Senator Sutherland, of U.cah, which would have had the same effect as his own, prov-sion of this session. Mr. Bristow said that in both instances his attitude had been decided by his desire ta do that which most certainly would in- sure the success of the popular election resolution. Adoption of the Bristow ameud- ment, which omitted the House pro- vision ‘transferring supervision of senatorial elections from . Congress to the State Legislature, was made possible by Mr. Clarke, of Arkansas, casting the only Democratic vote for the proposition. ‘The tie on that ballot would have been prevented if his vote had been cast with his par- ty,with whom he later voted on adoption of the resolution. On the resolution as amended the vote, 64 to 24, was six more than the nec- essary two-thirds majority. Of the 24 negative votes, 8 were cast by Démocrats and 13 by Republicans. The resolution as amended and passed follows: “That in lieu of the first para- graph of section 3 of article 1 of ithe constitution of the United States and in lieu of so much of paragraph two of the same section as relates to the filling of vacancies, the follow- ing be proposed as an amendment to the constitution, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the constitution when rati- fied by the Legislatures of three- fourths of the States. “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the peo- ple thereef, for six years; and each Senater shall have one vote.

We have common and SELECT Brick always on hand. Special atten- tion given orders from surrounding towns. Our SELECT Brick are the finest in the State. STATESVILLE BRICK CO, Wednesday evening of last week I joined the Central Highway scout party at’ Marton and continued on the trip umti] Statesville was reach- ed Saturday. Having been appointed trustee for the road for Iredell—an office given me not only unsolicited but without my knowledge—I felt # @ duty to join the caravan and show an interest, especially as the home folks were much interested, byt for several reasons | took to the work reluctantly. JI had not been out @ day, however, until I wag glad I was on the job, and I regretted, when. Statesville was reached Saturday that I could not go on. The expe- rience has shown me how the politi- cians enjoy'a campaign. New peo- ple are met every day. One can make practically the same. speech, even if he gets bored repeating it; he is shown attention,recelves many courtesies and altogether has a Pleasant time. Hereafter I shall re- gard a campaign tour in a différent light from that in which I have heretofore considered it. A word of explanation about the highway before going further. Last winter some good roads enthusiasts conceived the idea of building @ road from Morehead City to Mar- shali—from the Atiantic coast to theTennessee linec—a distance of 460 miles, and Mr. Jas. H. Pou, of Ral- eigh drew the bill,which was passed by the Legislature. One mang in each of the 19 counties was semed as trustee for the road and these trustees met in Raleigh on the-Sth of April and organized by elect- ing H. B. Varmer, of Lexington, ed- itor of the Lexington Dispatch and Southern Good Roads, the latter an excellent and high-class good roads magazine, ehairman of the—beard- The law authorizes boards of county commissioners and authorities of towns and cities to appropriate mon- ey for the building of the road through each county. While it is a big task it is by no means an im- possible one if each county will lay hold and construct a good road on the route selected through the coun- ty and it is hoped the work can be done in a year or 18 months. The impression prevails that the road ie an automobile highway. Many au- tomobiles will of course use # for long distance trips, but the high- way will be a public road for the use of everybody, and the chances are, that for local travel, there will be ten or a dozen local ve- hicles on the road to every auto mobile. Speaking of the latter, whether we like them or whether we don't, the machines are here to stay and the number is increasing daily. Farmers are now buying them and in a few years, instead of being a machine for sport, for use Only by people of wealth and leisure, as they are now regarded, they will be in common and practi- cal use—treally a necessity of our modern and fast-moving age. But the real object of construct- ing thie road through the State to be called the State Central High- way—is to create and arouse good roads enthusiasm. The idea is that with a’ good road across a coumty as an object lesson other good roads will be built and by and by every county will become a good roads county—an end greatly to be desired. The law leaves the location of the highway to the State geological survey, which means that Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, the State geologist, wil! decide on the route. The first of May a party went over the road from Morehead City to Raleigh, the route has been located and in some of the counties the road is being put im good condition. On the 5th the touring party began the western trip from Marshall to Raleigh A meeting was held at Marshall but the trip from Marshall to Asheville was made on the train instead of by auto, as Madison county has no roads for motor cars and scarcely a track of any Kind worthy the name of road. In fact it has been designated byCol.Olds as the ‘‘road- less county’ of North Carolina The party was carried in two ma- chines, one furnished by the J. | €ase Threshing Machine Company, which furnished a chauffeur, paid his salary and all expenses of the car for the trip. The other car was furnished by Mr. Wm. Dunn, of New Berne, highway trustee for Craven county, who furnished his own chauffeur and paid the expen- ses. In the party were Dr. Pratt, Mr. Varner, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Jas. A Wellons, of Smithfietd, trusthe for Johnston county; Mr. R. M. Phillips,’ of the staff of the Greensboro News Col. F. A. Olds, the noted newspa- per correspondent of Raleigh, a young son of Mr. Wellons and the two chauffeurs. The speakers in the party were Dr. Varner, Dr: Pratt Mr. Wellons, Col. Olds and an occa- sional talk from Mr. Phillips, and an individual who joined the tour at Marion made a few remarks on occasion. After a good meeting at Asheville on the 6th the party proceeded to Marion. Reaching the top of the Blue Ridge, they, in the language of Col. to the care of the higher power) and ‘fell over into McDowell coun- ty. Dr. Pratt, who is a noted pe- destrian, walked down the ridge to Old Fort to look out a route for the highway. Four meetings held in McDowell and much enthw siasam was manifest. were at Old Fort, at the bridge between Old Fort and rion, at Marbon Wednesday night and at Nebo, between Marion and Morganton, Thursday morning. Con- siderable good road work is being done in Marion township and inthe town of Marion, a live business place, there ia much of the good roads spirit. The party was enter- taimed at Marion at the excellent Ma- Marianna hotel,which ie conducted jthe court house and stirring talks ‘i}were made by Mr. W. T. Morgan, Olds, committed themselves | were | The meetings | river | by Mr. Ind. #. Gray, 4 Statesville man. A good meeting was. held in trustee for McDowell, and other lo- cal speakers, in addition to the reg- ular addresses by the members of the party. Mr. Varner usually presided as chairman and made the introductory remarks, except at Marion, where each speaker had the honor of a separate introduction by a different individual. Dr. Pratt who is an engineer and practical road builder, discussed the practi- cal side of the work; Mr. Wellons, who speaks like an old style cam- paigner, and is not unlike Gov. Ay- cock in nner, discussed the ad- vantages of good roads im general and the Central Highway in par- ticular. Col. Olds, who has traveled much, compared weetern North Car- Olina with Switzerland,to the advan- tage of our State in scenery, to ita great disadvantage in roads. e talked plainly and gaye hard knocks; he wanted the people to realize the great advantage and the neces- Sity of a civic uplift and he said he didn’t care if he madevthem mad. In fact he said he would be pleased to hear they had eursed him, for that would mean that he had arous- éd them. But in apite of the colo- nel’s hard knocks, he was always entertaining and was appreciated. At Morganton, after one of his plain Speeches, he was given a vote of thanks by the audience, the only member of the party so honored, but it was because the Morganton people realized that plain speech land not flattery, was needed. Mr. Phillips, when he talked, told of the g00d road work done in Guilford and what it had accomplished for the county I bad expressed the opinion that the $400,000 of road bonds voted in Iredell was worth the money as an advertisement for the county, and this trip confirmed that view, if any confirmation was needed. The Speakers ugually referred to what Ire- dell had done in nearly all the ad- dresses made, and everywhere there was an enthusiastic admiration for Iredell’s advahce step. The people wanted to know about the bond is- Sue in this coumty and how we Managed to succeed. At Morganton the party was emn- tertained at an elegant luncheon at | Hote! Morgan. Mr. John H. Pear- s0n was toastmaster and remarks were made by a number of local} Geta cor and by one or more mem-| bers of the party. Judge Lane, who} was holding court at Morganton,| adjourned court for the good roads | meeting and the court house was/| well filled. A good roads assocta- | Shon was organized at the close of | the meeting Thursday night was spent at/| Hickory. The party was entertain- | ed at Hotel Huffry,a splendid hostel- | ry, and a meeting was held in the | opera house. A good roads associa- | tion was also organized. Consider- | the matter distinctly from the viewpoint,most Hickory peo- pig. would prefer that the highway | rum directly from Hickory to States- | vidle, via Catawba Springs, and| the route is said to be a good one, | but Hickory is not disposed to de-/| seat the county seat and so the town stands for the route via New-/| toa. | From Marion to Hickory I jour- | neyed by rail, joining the party | at the different points, but through | the courtesy of Mr. A. Burwell, Jr., | of Oharlotte, I- was carried from Hickory to Mooresville by automo | bide, in company with Mr. Preston | Allan, of the staff of the Char-| lotte Observer, and had a most de-| lightful trip; and from Mooresville | \to Statesville by automobile by the | courtesy of Dr. Grier Miller. At| Newton a meeting was held in the court house Mr. W. €. Feimster, an Iredell man, who has some of the good roads enthusiasm now prev- alent im Iredell, made the introduc- tory address, and in addition to the} members of the regular party, Col. W. H. Harris, of the Charlotte Chronicle, spoke for Mecklenburg. After an excellent luncheon at the Virginia Shipp hotel, as guests, of the Booster club of Newton, the party proceeded to Mooresville via the Mooresville river bridge. The smallest attendance at the mMmeet- ings of the first week was in Cataw- ;ba county—at Hickory and Newton. This was partly explained by the fact that it was a very busy time with Catawba farmers; they were cut- ting wheat and setting out potato slips; but some of the lack of in- terest was possibly due to a lack of enthusiasm, as the attendance of | townspeople was small. Catawba pads also received some hard | KihOcks, a section of the road from |Newton to the river bridge being particularly bad. Catawba roads, however, will probably compare fa- vorably with the roads of any coun- ty where modern improvement has not begun; and it is distinctly en- couraging that the county has re- cently levied a road tax of 20 cents on the $100 With this tax it can now pay the interest and provide a sinking fund for a bond issue of $300,000, a step some of the pro- gressive spirits are now advocating. Having levied a road tax, Catawha ts much farther toward good road work than some of the other counties Agriculturally, Catawba is one of the firat counties in the State. It ig a great wheat county and it was \@ treat to ride by acres and acres of waving, golden grain and fields Harvest had just begun }and men with old-fashioned grain leradles were cutting round the | fields to make ready for the reapers to follow.

There has deen complaint in some counties of the increase in valuation of real e& tate, but little if any complaint has Deen heard in Iredell’ While some dmcrease has been made it is by mo means a burdensome one. The mew method of assessing property Yor taxation was designed to secure uniformity, but in Statesville at least and probably in the county, too, the old method has been followed, whieb ge anything but equitable—that 18, the more valuable the property the Yess the assessment in proportion to walue. For instance, @ piece of property worth $20,000 to $25,000 will be assessed at 25 to 33 1-3 per cent. of its value. As the value ef the property decreases the scale of the assessment increases until cheaper property is assessed at 75 to 100 per cent. This is the rule, as an examination ‘of the books will ghow, although there are occasional exceptions; and it is proper to say this custom hes been followed for years. The assessment is usually pro- Jow enough, but the asgessors ceed on the theory that the more ‘one has the less he should pay J proportion to what ‘he has, and a8 a consequence the small property- ownérs bear more than their pro- portion of the burden of taxation, although the large property owners usually talk in matters of taxation as if they paid it all. It is the custom in all towns to eyi 10} geSoTApd jepeds puvaep Duaisiess section, and yet from the standpoint of taxation in Statesville —and the same is doubtless true of other towns—the business section pays less taxes in proportion to walue than the residence sections, for business property is usually as- sessed much lower than residence property. ——— The Hendersonville fakir is at & again. This time he tells of “g sub- terranean river, a roaring, swirling torrent underneath the city of Hen- dersonville, tumbling its mad way -throygh’ the ‘very bowels of the earth, with sightless fieb and mal- formed monsters sporting in its black and rocky bed upon which God's sunshine has never rested,” and gome more of the same kin d. Not long ago he told of a seething volcanic fire in the bowels of the marth about Hendersonville; now it dis asubdterranean river. What next? ——— =—S——__—_— It is strange that one who hasn’t the verve to face the consequences ef a crime bas the nerve to commit the crime. In other words, if he is mo sensitive about the penalty he ghould have some thought a5 to that before the crime is com mitted.

NS Statesville Route Probably Decided On Newton Enterprise. We infer from the following ex- tract from a letter just received from Mr. H. B. Varner, president of the State Highway Commission, that the Statesville route has prac- tically been decided on, and that it depends on what Catawba people do as to whether it will come through this county. After reciting that the Catawba roads were found to be the worst on the whole line from Morehead to the Tennessee line, except in Madison, where Mr Varner says they have no roads, he adds: - “I understand that there ie a bet- ter route from Statesville via Tay- lorsville and Lenoir to Morganton and ‘that the people along this line through Alexander and Caldwell! counties are willing to put up the money and build this road. I am writing you this, not with the slight- est {dea of frightening your people, but to show you that there is a probability of Catawba county los- ing the Central Highway, unless your people thoroughly wake up and get buey at once.” Elijah Coley, a negro farmer of Wayne county, was killed by light- uing Monday night.

Fune 16, 1941, TOUR: the errival of a score or nioré éars from Mooresvillé, including a num- ber of cars. from Chariotte. Be passing ofso many care to and from ree interested ‘the countryside and all along ‘the route between Newton and. the river iteg = men, women and children were lined up to see the “gasolime aristocracy’ whirl by. The bridge was reached at 4 in the afternoon. The picnic party which was celebrating the opening of the bridge was holding on, and there was a great. crowd, The automobiles were-lined up across the bridge and photographed and several members of the party spoke briefly to the crowd....The bridge is an excellent steel structure, sin- gle track, and so high above the bed of the river that even a record- breaking flood will hardly reach ‘it. It was built -by two citizens of Mooresville, Mesers. J. W. ‘Brown and B. A. Troutman, and is a splen- did feeder to the trade of Mooresville. Numerous people from that section of Catawba now go to Mooresville to trade who didn’t go beforé, on account of the conven~- fence of crossing the river and the excellent macadeam road from the bridge toMooresville. The two macad- am roads built from Mooresville were wisely built to draw trade from adjoining countées—one running to the Rowan line, the other to the river and the bridge. The cars that came from Moores- ville to Newton were lavishly deco- rated with flags and Mooresville pen- nants and banners, while streamers of ribbon bearing the inscription, “The best way everywhere is by Mooresville,’ were tacked.on every- body. Mooresville was reached about 6 o’clock. There numerous flags and banners and other gala day decorations proclaimed welcome and attested the enthusiasm of the occasion. The events of the evening have been mentioned. TheMooresville Military’ band, the members in uni- form, led by that fine fellow, Mr. Brevard Culp, made most excellent music ut the bridge and at Moores- ville 1n the evening, and altogether the Mooresviile meeting was a splendid success, one of which the people interested have every reason to be proud. The -trip to Statesville Saturday morning was most pleasant and the Statesville meeting, as has been told, was a success in every partic- ular. The decorations here were at- tractive and the exeellent enter- tainment and cordial welcome given the party was greatly appreciated and made a fine impression. While there is no purpose to make in- vidious comparisons, it is but stat- ing simple truth to say that the re- ception given the party in Iredeil far surpassed anything in the tour, and Statesville didn’t take second place with any of them.

Dr. John A. Ferrall, in charge of the campaign against hookworm in this State, says that the operation of the hospital tent for treating hookworm patbéents is to start with- in a very short time now in one of the southeastern couhties. Ther will also be in the shme section of the State a number of hookworm dispensaries provided in counties. that will co-operates by beariing a small part of the expense. Among the first work of this sort is ex- pected to begin in Pender county, the commissioners having alread) pledged financial aid. Examinations and free treatment are to be provid- éd and especially strenuous cam-= paigns for stamping out hookworm | disease carried on. | Blaze Started By Lightning Put Out | With Milk.

L. Floyd, of | Fishing Creek township, was struck | by lightning and, set on fire. The| neighbors rushed to the assistance | of Mr. Floyd, as neighbors in this| good section always do, and volun- teered their services to help @tin- guish the flames. A bucket brigade was formed and a steady stream of water was brought from a near-by eee: But for one time, accord | to the account of the farmer, test-for the location of the highway in Iredell has been a distinct advan- tage to Statesville. Spurred on by the example of Mooresyille,the mon- ey has been subscribed to build a bridge across the Catawba _ river, and a good road will be built to the bridge. This bridge will be a distinct advantage to Statesville commercially, just as the Moores- ville bridge is a valuable commercial asset to Mooresville, and will be worth all it costs and more, aside from any consideration of the Cen- tral Highway. Out of this agitation therefore, Statesville will reap a dis- tinct advantage. The need of the bridge was realized all along, but as is usually the case in all com- munities, something is necessary to stir to action. That something was the location of the Central Highway, and wherever it is located, States ville will have reason to be thank- ful for what it has accomplished for this community. With the bridge and a good road across the county, we can let the situation take care of itself. While the location of the route is not definitely determined, there is every reason to believe that it will come by Statesville; and _ before leaving the subject The Landmark | wishes to make renewed acknowledg- | ment to Salisbury and Rowan people and others for loyal support. Some of our neighbors in other counties butted in and took sides against Statesville, and the loyal support of Salisbury afid Rowan citizens will always be gratefully remembered mM. RAC. — + Lawyers Who Hustle For Business. The Monroe Enquérer says that “a fellow blew in from Atlanta, rep- resenting that he was an attorney. He went to see relatives of those killed and injured fin the wreck near Bostic and solicited ‘business.’ The Atlanta man represented that he and his folks were the ‘stuph’ when it came to collecting claims for injury to the-person. Evidently that Atlanta lawyer. believes in gd- vertising.’’ Very good case of advertising, but there ie one nearer to you. Some years ago, in a neighboring city, 5\a fellow was pun over and killed by a street car. That was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. From 4 to 5 o'clock the same afternoon the widow of deceased received a special delivery letter advising her to employ a certain young lawyer in the same handwriting and of same advice. At 8 o’clock next morning the widow received the third com- munication, similar to the two. Old Furniture. Mahogany or Rose Wood needs sim- ply, oe and a coat of Varnish he L. M.

Bucketful after bucketful of water |was poured upon the fire that was rapidly devouring the shingles of the roof, but it only burned the brighter. Each dash of water seemed to give the fire more fuel. In the presence of this seeming | miracle of the firedevil, one of | the citizens, with more presence. of mind than the others, bethought | himself of the old story, told over and over,again by black mammies, | to the effect that fire caused by lightning could not be extinguish- | ed. by water, and- that the proper | -remedy forsuch a fire is buttermilk. Fortunately a spring was near-by filled with the delicious product of lthe dairy. No“buttermilk was avail- able, but sweet milk was gu bstitut- éd. With the first onslaught the fire-devil began to retreat and soon the crackling flames had been an- nihilated, and the day was saved. All of which goes to show that listen- ing to tales of black mammies is \not so unprofitable from: the stand- |point of gross materialism and utili- |tarianism. | Big Seizure of Booze at Hendersoa- ville. . A dispatch from Hendersonville says about 10,000 gallons of booze, valued at many thousands of dollars, were seized there Monday afternoon. The stock .was found in a _ store- room on Main street in the Heart of the city and consisted of high grade liquor, beer, wine, etc. Police officers raided the place under au- thority of a town ordinnace passed last Friday night. No opposition was offered the officers when they demanded admittance, although one time there seemed a likelihood of strenuous opposition. The place was in charge of O. N. Carson, wito is the agent of others, said to be well-known Asheville liq- uor men. Carson was arrested and placed under heavy bond for his ap- pearance before the mayor today for trial, when it ie expected the real owners of the place will be dis- closed. It is understood the own- ers hope to have the privilege of shipping the liquor out. Tolls Over the Mooresville Bridge.

Neugent the Sort of B You Read About—Taken to State Prison to Serve An Unfin- Mt. Airy News. . , } It hap come to light within the last few days that old Surry es a genuime bad man. If reports are true he will pass muster anywhere for a bad mam of the very ‘worst type. Deputy Sheriff Oscar Monday carréed him to the penitentiary last Sunday morning and the story of his life and deeds reads like a. ro- mance from some of the Western plains. His true name is Zeb. Neugent, a son of Cal. Neugent, who - lives seven miles east of this town in, the Slate mountains. Zeb. i6 Ow , no lese than 35 years.old and wheth- er he is the bad man people would have one believe, he has certainly | made the reputation all right. The | story goes that 20 years ago, when | he was a mere lad, be was a holy | terror im this section. They tell how he would play cards and gam- ble and how’ when he had lost to the other fellow he would draw a gun and quietly declare his purpose to have every cent the other fellow had, or blood. They say he was of such metal that he always got the money. By the time le was about grown he was a desperate young fellow and dared to do any- thing he pleased. They tell ‘how he | stole a horse one night in this sec- | tion and rode it so hard that“K died. | For this deed he was never punished, but when he stole a horse from Stokes citizen, Mr. Bill Fallin, he (}got what was coming to him. Zeb stole the torse and brought it to this town and swapped i for a mule and then sold the mule All >|this took place about 18 years ago. Mr. Fallin offered a reward of $25 for the retum Of his ~torse-and papers were issued against Neugent and put into the officer’s hands. Mr. Isaac Short, of Stokes. county, came up to humt him and Mr. W. |J York, who lives near town and |}was deputy sheriff at that time, |was semt to help hunt the horse |thief. For three diye they hunted lin the section where he lived |Slate mountains and finally located (him. Mr. Short approached from Jone side and York from the other. | Neugent was not suspecting ‘that they were officers and was caught unewares. York caught him by the hand and Mr. Short caught his arm at the elbow. Quick as thought he drew a pistol with the hand that Mr. Short was trying to hold,, fired a shot that came near the life of Mr. Short. The biiliet went through and burnt the skin on hig breast. Mr. York’s horge was standing in line and the ballet went through the fore leg and ed the anima) for several wee York's pistol ptfessed against head took the fight out of him for the present and he wag brought to town and turned over to Mr. Taylor Thompson to keep for the night. At the time of this arrest he had on his person three pistols and a pair of brass knucks. Mr. { town at that time and was fearful that the old city prison would not So he went toa hardware store and bought a new trace chain and the. lock he could get and fastened one end of |the chain to the floor and locked the other end around the neck of young Neugent. Then they went home feeling that their prisoner was safe for sure. Next morning | when they went to the prison Neu- gent was there all right but the chain was off his neck. York ask- ed him why he took hig collar off and he answered by saying that it was cold amd he couldn't sleep. They never had the least idea how he got the lock picked. In due time he was tried in Stokes county for the theft of the horse and sent to the penitentiary for five years. In just three months he was back at home here in Surry and was known to have in his pos \Session several hundred dollars. |The story that was current at the {time was that while in the pent- | tentiary he got imtimate with 4 |negro who was sent-up for theft. |The negro told him where he had |Placed $600 and described the crime jand location so well that Neugent believed he was telling the truth. Neugent planned for both to escape jand get the money. One dark night jthey both ran and the guards kill- ed the negro and shot Neugent’s fsuspenders in two on his back, but |hurt him no more than to hurt his )Skin with the bullet. He waded |a 8.neam for five miles and thus |dodged the blood hounds and pur- |sucrs; He went to the spot where |the negro had said he hid the mong ;@y and sure enough it was there Another story goes that he rob- bed a man at High Point on his way home. He left the country af- ter a time and joined the standing army, and served several years in Cuba, the Philippime Islands and Other points. A year or two ago he made his appearance back here and showed that he had not made much improvement in morals He Was here in town several times and it got to be understood that he was a gambler and all round bad man. His appearance here was made known to the penitentiary authori- tes and they wrote that he was wanted there to serve his term and} that they would pay all expenses | and $25 reward. The story was cur- | rént that he was hiding for a week or two at a time in the section where hié father lived and then would be gone for several months. While in this section his conduct Was such that all the neighbors Were afraid of him. One time, they say, he went to a relative and de manded $30.

For these reasons the | people were afraid to refuse him} and afraid to report him to the of-| ficer | One day last week Sheriff Haynes | was notified that he wag at the home of his father, Cal. Neugent, | and he and Deputy Sheriff Oscar Monday went down to hunt him.}| Mr. Monday dieguised - himself in the garb of a fielé-hand. He put on a pair of old, dirty overalls and a last yéar’s old rush hat. With this rig on he approached the house waited near by. Monday approached and entered st gone to the back door to look fat sume one who was passing,” As the turned from the back door he met the officer face to face. Mr. Monday took no chances but promptly pointed a big six-shooter at his man and demanded that he throw up his hands. Neugent stood there as cool as an iceberg and seemed to not understand. And the Officer had to tell him more thar ONce and warn him what would be the consequences if he failed to put ap his hands. After atime he complied On his person were found two large knives but he had lnid aside his pistols He was known to be in the habit of carryine two pistols and a gun. He had on two pairs of heavy pants and be- tween the pants he wore a belt in} which were several shotgun cart-| ridges, several) Winchester rifle) cartridges and several pistol cart-| ridges. Before leaving home with the officers he put on his coat, and @ coat it was. It was of heavy | corduroy lined with leather, just) Such a coat as a4 man would want} to wear ona rough winter day, and | yet the man persisted in wearing it 4n a hot, sweltry summer afternoon. | In a few hours Sheriff Haynes re- ceived word that that coat had | enough saws concealed in the lining to cut out of any prison that had ever been made. He was placed in| the city prison and carefully guard- | ed until Mr. Monday started with | him to Raleigh Sunday morning to} again turn him over to the State au-! thorittes. | Neugent appears to be about 35 | years old. He speaks in a_ voice that shows no sign of coarseness | and his appearance and attitude is that of a gentleman. In conversa- tion he expressed himself as being under the impression that the ser- vice he had rendered the government as a soldier annulled the old charge the State has against him.

Washington Dispatch, 14th. In the Democratic caucus tonight a sharp issue which threatened the dis- ruption of the House organization was precipitated most ee the demand of Northern and Western Democrats for the adoption of the Sherwood dollar a day pension bill. Because of their insistence that this $45,000,000 pension bill should be put upon the e of thi to be done at this session, if any other than tariff legislation was to be considered, a number ofimportant measures were forced to go over. e Representative Hay, of Virginia, was a bill which had the ap- proval of the committee on mili redicted wo’ effect a saving of $6,000,000 annually : — a re-organization of the army and lengthening of terms of en- ent. A bill to establish’a board of health for Porto-Rico was championed by Mr. Garrett, of Tennessee, while Mr. Pegett, of Tennessee, wanted wa e fora measure from the na affairs committee.

Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. Simce the special session of the Sixty-second Congress convened April 4, the House has worked near- ly three times as many hours as the Senate. These figures show the disposition of the House to meet the issues-of the day with remedial legislation and the desire of the Genate to avoid action. The 92 upper lords of American legislation have put in nine and one- quarter eight-hour days of labor since the session began. In the @ame time the 392 members of the lower branch of Congress have worked 31% eight-hour days. Bight hours is a day’s work fix- ‘ed by law on government jobs. Sen- ators in the present Congress pay ltttle or no attention to their own law in so far as a day’s work is concerned. The maximum Senate session is about six hours andthe House seldom sits longer. To be exact, the House and Sen- | ate have been in session 59 legis- lative days ending Saturday. In that time the Senate has met on 27 days and loafed 32 days. In hours and minutes the Senate has been in Sesson 74 hours and 25 minutes and the House has been in session 252 hours and 15 minutes. Shocked By Lightning. Correspondence of The Landmark.

Dan From Kain, Wind and Light- f cc aae Drought Broken. A severe rain and windstorm, which was accompanied by much electricity and considerable hail, vis- ited Statesville and vicinity Sun- day evening between 7 and 8 o'clock. The storm was formed over States- ville by three clouds suddenly com- ing together and it. was most s¢- vere in the vicinity of the square and in east Statesville, the cloud moving toward the east. The wind did most damage,’ blowing. down many trees, and fences and several awnings, while portions of the tin roofs of several buildings were re- moved. The roof of the Mills build- ing, corner Broad and Center streets, was rolled back about half the distance of the building and water did considerable damage in the offices of Mr. E. G. Gaither and Dr. T. D. Webb, on the second floor, and in the store of R. H. Riekert & Son and Sloan Clothing Co. on the first floor. While many trees on private property were blown down, the most damage to trees on the street was on east Broad street, which was made almost impassable by large branches blown from the big elms in the vicinity of the Statesville Inn and at the residence of Dr. W. J. Hill. The old Clark tobacco factory building, corner Meeting and Bell streets,and probably other buildings, was struck by lightning, in addition to many trees and telephoue, tele- graph and electric light wires and poles but no serious damage was done by the lightning, so far as known, except to the telephone system. Between 175 and 200 "phones im town and practically all of the country lines were put out of eommission. The linemen went to work early yesterday morning and the system will be in good repair within a few days The electric power was put out of commission for the night, but the damage to the system was not great The hail fell heaviest east of town and did much damage to grow- ing crops. Wheat which had not been cut was blown down and the hall beat it flat to the ground. Wheat and oats in the shock was blown over the fields and damaged. Streams were flooded and considera- ble hay was lost on some of, the meadows. . The rain, which was badly need- ed, came down in torrents and sheets.

Mr. Fallis is to begin service for the county July 1st and his salary will be $200 per month, this to include expense of his as- sistant.

While the fiscal year already shows an ordinary surplus of more than $8,000,000, as against a deficit of $13,000,000 a year ago at this time, there is promise that the total deficit now standing at $21, 000,000 may be much reduced be- fore the new fiscal year begins. All corporation taxes should be in by the end of the month. Nearly $2,000,000 has been paid so far this month. The estimated total income }from that source is $26,000,000.

TUESDAY, ~-— June 20; 2911. | _—_—_—_—_————— sy The Hippocratic Oath That the Doc- tors Take. Richmond Times-Dispatch. There are several famous ancient oaths, of which the best known are citizens, and the Hippocratic. oath, taken by physicians entering the profession. The latter oath was administered to the grdauates at the eighty-sixth annual commence ment of the Jefferson Medical Col- lege, in Philadelphia. This was the first time it has been administered in the history of the college. One hundred and seventeen men received degrees and, standing, bowed their heads in assent to the oath, which is: ' You do solemnly swear, each man by whatever he holds most sacred: That you will be loyal to thé pro- fession of medicine and just and generous te. its members That youwill lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and honor. That in whatsoever house you shall enter, it shall be. fer the good of the sick to the utmost of your power, you holding yourself | jaloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others’to vice. That you will exercise your art solely for the cure of your patients, jand will give no drug, perform no} joperation for a criminal purpose, even if solicited; far less suggest it. | That whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men which is Want to Provide Amasement For Country Folks and Teach Them Religion, Monroe BPuquirer, Up in Boston, the home of baked beans, cod fish and culture, they had a-meeting last week, a great big’ meeting of the National Confer- ence an Charities and Corrections, Last Sunday the high’ brows gave themselves over to a discussion of the country population. Do you know what that long-faced, bandy- shanked, woeful-looking bunch did? Why théy talked about “providing amusement for the whites in the country districts, with the idea of making these classes more content with their lot.” It is enough to make a brazen image of despair smile to think of that gloom-bedaub- ed aggregation talking about fur nishing amusement for the country folks. Why, a real country boy, one with lots of red blood coursing through his veins and with the- boy spirit big as a mule in him, has more fun any Saturday afternoon he is let looge than that whole lay- out who so solemnly discussed pro- viding amusement for the country population, has ever had. ‘Providing ways of amusement for the country population.’ Oh, the words we want to use just will not come. And then one of ‘em got up in that Boston meeting and made a_ long-winded speech about ‘‘the importance of the observance of the religious life by the rural population,’’ and they came to the conclusion that ways} Should be provided to teach religion | | ; | | not fitting to»be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret.° These things do you swear? Let each man bow his head in sign df acquiescence. And now, if you shall be true to this, your oath, may prosperity and good repute be ever yours; the op- | posite, if you shall prove yourselves forsworn. ° | = t | Woman Released From Sanatorium | | By Order of Court. | | Mrs. Alice Mucklow, daughter of | a late English army officer, having | jan estate of $15,000 and highly edu-| cated in Germany, who-has been | detained in Dr. Carroll's private san- itarium in Asheville 3% years, against her will, she alleges, was ordered released last week by / Judge Frank Carter upon the re-| port of an exmaining board of three physicians that the woman is sane.

Four convicts were killed, 12 seri- ously injured and 14 convicts and 3 guards htly injured today in the! of a bull pen near Waterville, where two railroad companies are en- in a war for the monopoly of ly remaining mountain pass to .the east. The convicts were all ne- eer cal ot of the State of orth Carolina, and were being work- ed in connection with the construc- tion work of the Transcontinental railroad. Capt. J. E. Hoskins, of Raleigh, who was in charge of the prisoners, went down with the pen and had to|i be dug from the debris, suffering sev- eral painful injuries. Guards E. Nichols and Ed McKerney had ‘nar- row esca from death, but were a wy! injured. week the convicts were sieht into the untains and it ‘wak announced that they were being worked by the State of North Garo- lina as their contribution toward the constriction of the Transcontinental railroad. The Tennessee & North Carolina railroad, which is running its trains to within two miles of the scene of today’s accident, claims the right of way on which the Transcon- tinental road had started work and were ready with an injunctibn, so it is stated, to restrain the convicts from further work. The convicts were located in the very heart of the Smokies, where their camp looked down into the Pigeon river, 150 feet below. The pen was 30 by 80 feet, the piles acting as sup- ports being about six feet in height near the edge of the trail and 28 feet in height to the rear. The buildi ‘was. constructed of heavy logs and it was the great weight of the top which caused it to collapse.

Not a word was aaid about the purpose to put in a cabief op erator, although # was suspected et the time that that was the real reason for thle demand for more pay. The directors did not feel that the pay could. be (ncneased and it was left to the president and the mana- gé@r to deal with the case. With- owt any discussion at all, the young ladies, having learmed their salaries would probably mot be increased, walked out. : The pay of the operators was as follows: One at $17.50 for 6% hours work daily; one at $18.50 for 7% hours; three, 8% hours, $20; one, seme time, $20 and an allowance of $5 extra per month for acting as head operator; night operator, $22.- 50 and an allowance of $2°50 extra for a companion to sleep in the office. This schedule of pay is high- er than is paid tebephone operators in towns as large and larger than Statesville and is practically the game as that paid in some towns several times larger than Statesville. Nemes and figures can be gtven. It is more than is paid the average lady clerk in stores in Statesville, where the work is harder and the hours longer. Ask the merchants and others who employ female help. As additional evidence, the office has been overrun with applications Bince it was known that help was wanted. Of course the young ladies have a right to ask for more and a right to quit. The only comptaint the company makes, and it is not even pushing that complaint, is that tt was entitled to longer notice. The failure to give the customary notice inconvenienced the public and dam- aged the. business of the company, but as the situation is beimg napid- ly remedied and patrons, as a rule, have been lenient, the company is not disposed to pursue the subject. In all telephone offices where the bueiness becomes as important as it is in the office of the Iredell compa- ny, a chief operator is employed. This chief operator does no work on the board and tis not necessarily an operator. She looks after the work generally, sees that the operators keep up their wonk, charges the tolils,answers complaints of subscrib- ere and thus, im addition to the gen- eral oversight, relieves the opertaors of many details. It has been felt for a long time that a chief operator was necessary in the Iredell office for the efficient despatch of the work and notice was given last week that one would be put in. This seems to have caused the trouble, although ft was not mentioned to the management. Putting in the chief operator would not displace amy chief operator, for the office ‘had none, One of the young Indies acted as | Bo head operator and was allowed $5 extra on this account. When She was told of the plan to put in a chief operator she expressed approv- al of the plau:; nor was it the pur pose to have them teach the chief operator her duties for she was not to be an cperator, as stated. The Teference to the “reported refusal of the directors to sanction the attempt to tlace a favorite’ ig an error. The directors did not and will not pass on who /3 to fill the Place, that is the business of the Manager and the person for the Place has not leen finally selbectd. There is no favorite under consid- eration. Whoever can do the bust ness will get the job While it is nut so stated in the above, it has. been said that the op- erators’ wages were to be cut. This ig an error KH was the purpose to put ina relief operator,who would sleep in the ciftce and help on the board in the early mornings. As this would remove the necessity for the night cperator paying a com- panion to sleep in the office the $2.50 allowance for this purpose was to be discontinued, and the extra al- lowance of $5 to the head operator was to be discontinued for the reas- on that the chief operator would telieve her of any extra dutées for which the allowance was made. That is all and there was no cut and no intention of cutting wages. The business >of the office has increased, as stated, and it was the Purpose to iucrease the force, as shown above, to relieve the situa- tion and give a more satisfactory service. If the campany had felt able to de so it would have grant- ed the increase and it regrets bo lowe the services of expertenced op- erators. But an inmcreage in opera- tors and in salary must have resuit- ed finally in an inoneasge in ‘phone rates, which it ts desired to avoid, and inasmuch ae the pay is equal to and more than & paid for similar work, the drrectors did not feel war- ranted in making the imorease. This being so it was necessary for the company to do business in the man- mer it feels is for the best interest of the patrons gnd the stockholders. It could ng the operators to i or to may how the business @hould much as regretted to pert them. and one Que experienced openator helpers who promiae soon to begome efficieut have heen secuned and or experienced oper aters are expected a few days. help of rum, with in These with the efficient the wire chief, Mnemen, etc. bas put the situation in very good shape, and the public, which has been very charitable to the inspaimed. service, is assured that there is every ex- pectation that im a short time the service will be up to the standard. It is wet! to gay fm conclusion that the bredell compeny, es is well kuown, is owned by- home people who put their money into it not to make but to gave money. But for this company every telephone sub- scriber in Statesvilbe would be pmy- fng $1 to $1.50 more per month on each 'phiome he has. Offenders in Court. Tom Allison,John Huntér, Pleas. Nicholgon, John Allison and Arch Weaver, all colored, were fined $6.90 each in the mayor’s court Tues- day for loud swearing at the nailway paspenger station. These and other megroes have made it a habit to loaf about the passenger station for some time and their language is often offensive. Policeman Kerr arrested the five convicted of the offence and Alderman J. L. Sloan, mayor pro. tem., tried the cases. Hub Redman,a negro youth, was required to give bond Tuesday for his appearance at Superior Court to anewer for the ‘larceny. of a gold bracelet, the property of Mrs. J. B. Thurman. Redman was employed to do some work at the Thurman resi- dence on east Broad street and on his departure from the house it was discovered that the bracelet was missing. Offiver Kerr was noti- fied and when he arrested the boy ashort time later he found the bracelet im his pocket. The negro toid the officer he found the brace let on the street but when put on trial im the mayor's court he sald it was found in a trashpile. Sam Jones, colored, whose cage was mentioned im the last issue of The Landmark, was given a hear- ing before Justice King Tuesday on the charge of fornication and adultery and in default of $75 bond was remanded to jail to await Su perior Qourt.

While to find comfort in the hope boy is alive and will return some day, the parents cannot disped the fear of possible foul play.

It will be recalled that Foy Cur- lee, a ‘bay of 15 years, left the home went to the Statesville Safe & Table Company's plant, where he lad been working for some time. He called factory taling to a number of ne- groes, and from that time until. now nothing definite as to where he went or what has become of him has been learned.

The Board of Aldermen Urged Not to Destrey the Beauty and the Glory of Statesville. To the Editor of The Landmark: Will you permét a protest in your .jcolumng against the action of the board of aldermen in condemning so Many of our” beautiful trees? Our trees are the beauty of the town. Tt is our trees that excite the ad- ‘Miration of viaitors. These trees have been scores of years in the Making and nothing can be put in their place that would compensate for their loss. If any of our board could visit such a city as New Ha- Ven, Conn., and see with what pride her citizens, and what envy her neighbors, regard the beautiful elms that line the streetea—some of them double rows—- they would realize that a@ place can grow into a city and yet Lretuin ore of the very greatest at- Yractions and ghonies.

OOMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTER The fact should not be overlook- | ¢ ‘0 that Judge Walter Clark has a woman suffrage plank in his -penia- . ‘tonia! platform. Wil thé Chief Jue- |: tice be the favorite candidate of the fair sex in the contest at hand? a s s A citizen who travels much about the county says he finds the senti- Went in Iredel] almost {unanimous for a dog law and for’salaries for gounty officers. There is no doubt, that the majority of the Iredell peo- ple favor these two measures and they should keep the sentiment alive fand express themselves when the Gime comes. oe. The plea for the common schools whi appears in another cqlumn is Mmely. The disposition of the edu- wational leaders has always ‘been end je now to stress the importance ef the bigher institutions of learn- amg. The State high schools, the @arm life schools and the higher educational institutions are all right They are needed and are doing a wplendid work. But they should mot be stimulated at the expense of the schools .of the masses—the gommon free schools. These should be strengthened first because it is om them alone thet the great mass @f the childrdn depend for an edu- gation.” The great majority never enter any other school. The terms ef these schools should be lengthen- ed and better teachers setured by eying better salaries and demand- Sg better service. The common wehools should have first considera- tion and when they are properly pro- wided for the higher educational im stitutions wil] not suffer, for the @emand on these will be increased; but to providg for the higher in- wtitutions to fhe neglect of the com- Won schools is to give a_ special Yrivilege to a few. s The Lamdmark has referred to the fake stories sent out from Hen @ersonville about volcanoes in the Mountains and subterranean rivers The silver wedding celeberation ot President and Mis. Taft, the second that has been held in the White House, came to an end to night with the reception on the White House lawn Invitations bad been sent to close to 12,000 per sons and it was estimated that at least 5,000 were present. Never in the history of the na- tion probably has such a function been held in Washington. The dip- lomatic corps,theUnited States su. preme Oourt, the Senete and the House of Representatives, the de- partments of the government, th men who are high in political af- fairs of the country, the army, ithe navy and every walk in life almost were represented. The ccol, clear night that made a reception in the open air possible Prevented the crush that the White House for days has been afraid of and made the reception aot only brilliant and unusuel but delight- ful in every respect. The gueste would have filled the White House to overflowing,but the White Houge grounds are ample and there was no crush and no confusion. Possibly 15,000 people crowded about the fence that surrounds the grounds and looked longimgly at the elec- tric display, the splashing fountain and the gay throng within. The cards said that the reception would begin at 9 o'clock. Promptly on the hour, to the straine of the the wedding march,thePresident and Mrs. Taft came slowly down the Main staircase of the White House, preceded by the six presidential aldes aud followed by the cabinet. Out through the red room to the rear portico of the mansion, down the broad steps and out onto the lawn, the procession marched, while hundrede of guests already in the grounds watched their progress. They tock their stand beneath two trees just about the center of the lawn, whose branéhes were joined by an electric sign flashing ‘‘1886- 1011” The guests entered from the amd the lke. This enlightenment | concerning the stories is from the Charlotte Chronicle: We had supposed they were writ- tem by some enterprising man _ for bis own amusement, or to make a Bittle money through space rates tf the newspapers, but it seems the own itself was im a way responsible Yor #.

The seaside resorts that originated it some years ago, reap- €d@ no profit from it other than Tidicule, - . Lake the Chronicle,The Landmark had supposed this sengationa) mat- ter was sent out by some irresponsible Sensationalist who had an itch for Writing and who was doing the work for the pleasure of creating talk and the money he could make out of &. Having this view we were ex- peoting the Hendersonville people to denounce the whole business and make jt so uncomfortable for the writer that he would stop,if the daily saewapapers didn’t put a stop to it by refusing the stuff, as they should @o. But it is amazing to find that these stories are sent out by an advertising bureau. As The Land- mark sees it, this sort of adyvertis- img ‘e about as undesirable as any Place can have and if these. people had set out to damage Henderson Ville they could hardly be doing more effective work. This from New York: The declaration by experts that it would be almost impossible for a woman with a baby im her arms ta use a safety match has held up the proposed regulations prohibiting the matches containing white phos phorus in New York. A)! the ex- perts agreed that it would be nec- @Bary for a person to u@e both hands in lighting the safety match. In support of the safety match the bureau of combustibles submitted ev- dence to show that there were 1,071 New York fines caused én 1910 by the ase of matches contain- ime phosphorus.

But it was shown, and not denied, that. while the artiet signed a voucher for $2,- 450 he got only $850 “for hie work. The ‘committee wanted know what became of the $1,600 and asked for papers. Papers wére Tefused on the. ground that it was not proper to make public expend- itures for secret work in connection with the State Department, and as- surance Was given that the $1,600 had been expended for that purpose. Notwithstanding that the draw- dng of $2,450 from that particular fund to pay for a portralt which cost but $850 was quite remarkable, and no satisfactory explanation ,of the expenditure of the remainder seems a little irregular, the. com- Mittee might have accepted the as- surafice that i was all right but for other mysterious happenings in connection therewith. The originA] voucher was missing and some of the officials who might explain the details of the transaction are occu- pying diplomatic posts abroad and could not be reached. While the investigation was on, however, the missing voucher was found near’ a waste basket on the floor of _ the office of the disbursing clerk, which shows it had been placed there by some one who removed it or knew its whereabouts; the d@ebursing clerk testified that he was told by a gu- péerior to keep quiet about it; and it also developed that the matter had previously been investigated by the department but was dropped . be- cauge the evidence was alleged to be insufficient to bring criminal charger against anybody. So the mystery deepens, but explanation is badly needed. There may be no graft in this case but it is suspicious and the transaction is very irregular, TE EEEEREEEE { Good Roads and Good Newspapers. | Highlander of Shelby, | Statesville and Iredell county are) all to the macadam—or the sand-clay | —which is Highland for “all to the! good’’ roads.

The Manner of the American To- bacco Oo... in Destroying Com, petition The suit of the Ware-Kramer To- bacco Company against the Amer» canTobacco Company, for $1,200,000 damages, for destroying the Ware- Kramer Company's business, now on trial in the Federal Court im Ral- eigh, has brought out the methods o” the tobacco trust in destroying competition. Here are a few itnr stances: A. H. Hillman testified that ‘he had been a tobacco jobber tp New York 41 years prior to the coming of the Metropolitan Tobatco Company to New York aad that since the forma- tion of this company he amd 250 other jobbers had gone out of busi- ness because it was impossible to maintain @ trade with the Ameri- can Tobacco Company’s goods con- centrated in the hands of the Metro- politan for competition. «He said he established large trades with a num- ber of independent manufacturers’ goods,‘ but each time the manmufac- turer would be bought up by the American Tobacco Company and the trade he had worked up would pass to theMetropolitan company. He tes- tified that at the beginning of ‘the war between the independents and the American Tobacco Oompany the latter had about 60 per cent. of the Greater New York trade and - that now it has fully 90 per cent. -In his judgment it is impossible for a job- ber to be successful in handling independent goods in the tobacco trade’and the concentration of the American Tobacco Company goods in the hands of Metropolitan company head driven practically all the inde- pandent jobbers out of business. J,—R,-Hardie,_express agent at Wilson, testified that when theWare Kramer: Company shipped goods thnough the Southern Express Com pany representatives of Wells-White head Company (then a part of the — ee the school house cannot conveniently addresses of theWare-Kramer goods; attend in bad weater December, that he took to pecking the goods |J@>uery and February are the prin- on the trucks with the addresses cipal school months in Iredell and turned in so that they could not be |tBes, as we all know, are the seen and thet the Wells-Whitehead | ths of enow, rain and mud. .

Our great educational leaders did not begiin studying Latin and Greek before they learned to spell. They had to get a start before they could begin the more dffficult studies. They began at the very bottom and climbed gradually step by step, year by year, until they reached the heights on which they stand. The fundation must be laid, and the more solid foundation we have the better house we can build. If the children are not thoroughly drill- ed im the primary and intermediate grades before they take up high school and college work, it will be like building a house on a sandy toundation. The State high schools and colleges have done and will doa great work. They have brought many educational leaders, who are now doing valuable service in the feld of education. They are teach- ing and encouraging education wher ever they go. We are proud of North Caroli- na's Many sons and daughters who are using their time and cultivated minds for the betterment of the ris- ing generacion. We need a great host of educated followers as well as leaders; the Masses need to be bet- ter educated. Those who live near enough to attend our State high school or a private high sthool for eight or nine months in a year are indeed fortunate.

Plans for the merger of Southern cotton yarn mills into a corporation controlling the operation of 1,000,000 spindles, are under way. Con- ferences held here during the last two days have been attended by half a dozen who together control 450,000 spindles in North Carolina, and they have left fer their home cities to place the plans before their stockholders for ratification. It is planned to incorporate under the laws of New York, and the capi- talization is to be $35,000,000. Leon- ard Paulsen, of Paulsen, Linkreum & Co., is one of the leaders in the plan, and if all the factors sought enter the combination it will embrace plants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Ala- bama, Georgia, Tennessee and Mis- sissippi.. The promoters are assured that the combination will be along lines a do not conflict with the Sherman aw. _ Through the consolidation of opera- tions, it is believed, substantial econ- omies in operation can be effected, 16th, ‘THE LANDMARK |ESTERN REPUBLICANS KICK.

Ef- forts are to be made also to go after the export trade to an extent which) none of the. units acting indi- viuually would be in a position to do. | The business is to be standardized | and uniformity of manufacture and, distribution will be effected. Anoth- er meeting is to be held here early next week. One of the most important features of the proposed merger is the plan to dispense with the services of the com- mission merchant and keep the busi- ness directly between the manufactur- er and the dealer. Many of the pres- ent abuses of the industry are now reported to"be due, in a measure, to the commission merchant, who acts as the third party in all deals. In the yarn trade there is a strong belief, however, that it will be im- practicable to attempt to do business direct between the mills and the deal- ers. _ An Albemarle merchant had $1,270 in his safe. One day he opened his safe and put in some money and next day the $1,270 was missing. He *¢ | thinks he accidentally left the box con- taining the $1,270 outside the safe and it was stolen. Nine hundred dollars of the missing money belonged to an- other party. And yet they have banks in Albemarle. The.barn of R. L. McDowell Bowman, county, and a quantity of feed.

Sunday mail delivery has been re- stricted in many of the larger towns of the State by closing the carriers’ windows on Sunday, the general de- livery window being kept open for a short time and lock-box patrons ne- ceiving their mail as formerly. Win- ston-Saillem thas gone a step further, the postoffiice in that town being entirely closed last Sunday. Deliv- ery at caifrier windows had been cut out and petitions circulated at the instance of the Ministerial As- sociation asked for fumnther restric- tions. Postmaster Reynolds advis- ed the department that if amy fur- ther reatniction was made the office should be closed entirely, and thie was done last Sunday. This was more than the mimis- ters bangained for and they publish- ed a card saying that if there was auy complaint the postoffice people were responsible for carrying the matter too far. Thén Postiinaster Reynolds got huffy and published a card in which he charged the min- isters with a “cowardly attempt to shift the burdem of the responsibili- ty from their shoulders to mine, and they have stooped to mis- representation in thie effort.’’ Raith- er strong language, but the postmas- ter is on solid grounds when hie con- tends that if the maswes are to be shut out by chosing the carriers’ window arad the general delivery window, the box-renbers are not en- pst titled to special privilege.

Burg refused-and then Finley went out and shot himself dead. This change of method is a great improve- ment but we fear it will not be generally adopted by gentlemen of that kidney. Judge Bennett, official writer of obituaries for his friends and neigh- bors in Anson county,paying tribute to the virtues of Joseph Crowder, deceased, says: ‘ “He made the mistake of ghang- ing- his home late ip life, breaking up to' follow a son who was pros perous. The mountains deguiled him. He sat where the mountains talked with heaven. He died April 20, 1911, of pneumonia,in Hender sonville,where theBlueRidge breaks down and much beauty greets the eye of the beholder. “There are periods in this world’s avaunt free from disasters to men and onowsted with imprisoned courte- siesto women. Such was the period from Domitian to Commodus. “The contagion of lofty virtues high espousals, worked this sensitive soul. “A man who has not rendered threadbare his home company should not move after widdle life. Let him stay in his natrve mad, as Jeck Rat- dolph of Roanoke said: cling to h‘s victuals and greens,” The axiom» that one should not change residence after middle life unless compelled te i¢ worthy of ob- servance. s Answering the criticiems of the The wearing of coats by men ta warm weather i¢ a matter of cus- tom” The Landmark tee alwaye Maintained and still maintains that & man who has on a clean shirt and @ wo attired from his waist up as to Present a neat and clean appearance 38 properly clad; and it would be no violation of decency for one to thus appear in any place. We think it Jooks odd because it is a custom for men to wear coats on social and Public occasions and it is usually sonsideréd proper to wear them in the presence of the ladies. But what @ver may be said about the custom, the ladies are estopped from criticism. They wear clothes that expose the arms, neck, chest and back; short skirts and thin skir‘s that ere sometiihes so flimsy as to excite comment. Ir short, im following the @ecrees of fashion, they sometimes @xpose so much of their persone as t raise the question of propriety; @nd certainly ro woman who is thus rested can with propriety criticise @ man for going coatiess, for the mbeence of the coat exposes no part -0f the person !f the shirt is whole. The juestion is then one purely fer men and every mam has a rign’ & hie own opinion; | ut.certainly no eondition can require a man to wear fin hot weather a long-tatled, heavi- ly-lined “burying coat,’ such as Dr. Stagg says he wore on the occasion of Hobson’s address, and if that wort of coat is Calhoun etiquette it fe the sort of etiquette that should be forgottten. The Hobson incident has started talk about the propriety of wearing coats and one R,. E. Lee—good name—of Atlanta, proposes to lead @ crusade for the coatless man. The Landmark isn’t greatly con- cerned about the matter either way; i is simply contending for the right of man to go without a coat if he @o elects, and from this viewpoint its sympathy is with Mr. Lee the coatiess brigade. —————— The New York judge who de- mounces high-heel shoes as heathen- Sah has it down about right. They are uncomfortable and untealthy but they are the style and they look Mighty pretty. Fact is, nothing adde so much to the attractiveness of a woman as a neat foot and @ pretty head of hair. But the New York judge is wasting his breath. High-heeled shoes are the @tyle and the women will wear them though the heavens fall. They would wear what is fashionable if they knew they would fall down ead five minutes after putting on. - “August 10 ie the date for the . annual Masonic. at. Mocksyilie.

When a Republican President has a lucid interval ou the question of protec tion, I like to go to his assistance, and when he has a lucid imterva? you feel like hitting him over the dead with a Gub. So I make that excuse, at any rate, for defending him in this particular, in so far as 1 shall. “It has been charged that. the President made a speech in Chirca- go and that he did not send the speech to the houses of Congress as a message. With the exception of Thomas Jefferson, who never made any speeches at all, but who did all his work of moulding public sentiment ard legislation, outside of his messages, around the dinner ta- ble and by letter, there has not been a President of theUnited States from the begimning who did not make speeches to the country, and make speeches upon political sub- jects, and make speeches for the purpose of moulding public opinion. “The Senator from Texas says— T have forgotten his exact language —Oh, yes, that it was ‘to put press ure upon the Senate’ by arousing pub- Jic opinion.

All the newspapers are advising it every day. Every time one of you makes a public speech at home and it is printed, you are putting preesure through public opinion,in a certain sense,upon both houses, but not in any wrong or in any bad sense.

The estimated value of the crop of 1910, the most valuable ever pro- duced in the United States, is $963,- 180,000, compared with $812,- 090,000 for 1909; $681,230,000 for 1908; $700,960,000 for 1907, and $721,650,000 for 1906, according to the ceneus bureau. The valwe of the crop of 1910 is $151,090,000,or 18.6 per cent. more than that of 1909, notwithstanding the fact that the quantity of cotton is only 1,690,306 bales, or 16 per cemt. greater. The value of the cotton crops of the five-year period ending with 1910 is $3,879,110,000, while the value of the five-year period ending with 1899 ie $1,529,- 500,000. During the last five years the price of Mint cotton has averaged about 12 cents per pound, or about $60 per bale, and the value of the cotton seed has increased from $13.80 pertonin 1906 to $27.40 per ton in 1910. The valwe of a 500-pound bale of cotton, including the seed, was $87.15 in 1910, companed with $50.37 for 1904 and with $30.- 22 in 1898. To the producer of a crop of 20 bales this means that whereas he realized $604 in 1898, he received $1,743 im 1910, which increase, notwithetanding a greater cost of production at the present time, meagures the difference be- tween a mere exietence and a com- fortable and independent living.

It is often said that our women are mot as capable resourceful and energetic as they were duming the war, but at least there are still a few who live up to the old adage, “Where .there’s a wihl there's a way.” Last week a lady in Wades- boro township wanted a potato pattl prepared and insisted every day in the week that it must be done. The husband, very busy with farm work that he considered more important, put ber off from day to day till finally it was Saturday noon. She insisted that the patch certainly most be fixed that afternoon, but he was compelled to come to town, and promised faithfully to attend to it. the finst thing Monday morning. When he had left for town the lady with quick determination went to the stables, caught a mule or horse, hitehed him to a plow and pro ceeded to do things for herself. When her busband returned that afternoon the potato patch was nicely ‘‘bedded” and “set out!”’ There is one medicine that every family should be provided with and ear ly during the summer months, viz hamberlain’s Colto, Cholera and Diar- rhoea y. almost certain_ to be orn costs t a quarter.

Most members of Congress who oppose reciprocity profess to base their opposition on the ground that it is unfair to the farmer; that the “{ot King George showed a cigarette : ve The Charlotte Ohroniche avers that one of the published pictunes between Ube kingly fingers. The Landmark had a feeling that there was something seriously the matter with the English monarch—ocouldn’t just say what. Now we know. —————_—__== Senator Simmions’ proposal to tax automobiles for road timprovement will be popular with the people who don’t own automobiles, at least. His plan, however, is to tax only the machines used im interState travel. That is to say, the machine things the farmer has to sell are put on the free list while the things be has to buy are left on the pro tected list; and as proof that the Teciprocity bill is unfair to the farm ‘er—‘burtful,’”’ some.of them claim —-they point out that the farmers’ free list bill was passed by the “Hovee of Congress to compensate the farmer for the injury done him by the reciprocity bill. This ie Sen- ator Simmons’ position and he has Btated that he will vote for reciproc- ty only on condition that the recb- @Procity bill and the free list bill go together, a condition that he knows js impossible. Taking note of Sen- ator Simmans’ viewpoint,the Monroe Journal thus effectively answers it: If Senator Simmons’ words mean anything whatever, they mean that protection is a benefit to the farm- er, an idea which the Democratic party bas always strongly denied. We are not questioning Senator Sim- mons’ motives nor his right to vote on this bill as he sees fit. But we do protest agninst this dilly-dally ‘woukd. be taxed only in the event it passed from one State to another. The Charlotte Observer stated in ite issue of Saturday that the States ville Landmark “rather thinks that the Mooresville bridge shiould be made free or that the centra)] high way should be routed elsewhere,” The Observer was in error and has since so stated. The Landmark hes not expressed any opinion as to whether the Mooresville bridge should be a free or a toll bridge. That i@ a matter for the people in- terested to settle and certainly thie paper would not offer advice in the premises nor attempt to inject the tol) feature into the central highway proposition.

Protit, New York World. ‘ ‘James H. Post, president of National Sugar Refining Company, ot New Jersey, testified before the House committee that H, O. Have meyer received $10,000,000 im. the stock of that company as a reward foro it. This‘etock has since earned $2,500,000 in dividends, and this $2,500,000 hes been paid by the consumers of augar. ‘That is how they “‘shared in the eocotiomies of operation,” as Wall street is accustomed to say. : Judgé’ Gary recently testified be fore the House. commiittee thet ia in- vestigating the Steel Trust, that the Morgan ayiidicate received $129,- 000,000 for onganiizing the United States Steel Corporation, half im preferred stock and half in commons The expenses of were placed at $3,000,000 and the eywai- cate turned ovér $25,000,000 in cash to the corporation. The rest was profit. This is the familiar starry of trust organization, The public is smugly informed that ‘the .trust is the result of a natural and imevita- bite tendency toward combination. In a Majority of cases the trust is the result of a shrewd promoter’s seeing an opportunity for enormous personal profits. Whether it happens to be Mongan’s profite on ateel, or Havemeyer’s profits on sugar, the money comes out of the consumer's pochets. the intermittent and partial enforcement of the Sherman “anti-’ trust law has accomplished nothing dise, it hap at least checked this form of exploitation. The Morgans rare not collecting $129,000,000 fees now for promoting a trust. Neither is any gewenous New Jersey conpora- tion rewarding a Havemeyer to the extemt of $10,000,000 for calling it into existence. As the enforcement of the law becomes more vigorous there will be fewer and fewer oppor- tunities for this kind of extortion. It would be well worth while to know just how much of the Morgan fee and just how much of the Have meyer fee representd political pow- er and influence over government. SSS as Sugar Trust Formed As an Act of Philanthropy. The consolidation of the National, the New York and the Yonkers’ Re- fining Companies imto the National Sugar Refining Company of NewJer- sey was_effected by the hate Presi- dent Henry O. Havemeyer, of tive | Americam Sugar Refining Cmpany, a “an act of philanthropy,’’ according to his son, Horace Havemeyer, who testified Tuesday before the Houae special committee on the investiga tion of the socalled sugar trust affairs. Mr.Havemeyer said that hie father Saw that the three companies were practically ‘‘busted,’’ that they wers “gout on their last legs,” and saw himself in a posttion wheres could ether bust up all these fellows or take them all in and he took them all in.” The witness said that his father’s purpose ém this combination was to preserve the properties and their stockholders and make their operations a success. “I got that evidence from my aunt, Mrs..S. T. Peters; who was a very cloge associate of his and about the only person to whom he talked, ex- cepting my mother, im regard to business matters.” The witness said that he thought his father’s original intention was to selt this $10,000,000 National com- mon stock to the American, making it a pert of the American, but he was adwised by John D. Johnson,of Philadelphia, that “it was not onty improper but possibly ifegal.’’ Woman Knocked Uncon- scious By Burglar. Spencer Dispatch, 22d. Mrs. C. A. Rozzell, wife of a well- known employe of the Southern milk way at Spencer, was knocked into ingensibility tonight and,the house robbed by au unknown young white man, The house was entered by a Spencer window, which was broken. A bed slat was used by the burglar, who assaulted Mrs Rozzeli when she was awakened Rer screams were heard by neighbors and she was found un- conscious on the floor.

Rozzell was sleeping with a 3-year-old daughtcr and her husband was at a lodge meeting. While her condition is precarious, it is thought Mrs. Rozzelil will re- cover. Bureau drawers, bed cloth- {ng aod wearing apparel were scat- tered over the premises by the burglar. The burglar ie described as be- ing six feet tall, wore a black soft hat and was in shiirt sleeves. Inveighing Against High-Heeled Shoes. | Richmond Times-Dispatch, Many really nice girls wear high- heeled shoes in ignorance of how awfully bad such aboes are. Justice Howard, of the New York Supreme Court,told of the wickedness of such @hoes in his court the other day. “High-heeled shoes are as heath- enish as Tings im the nose, or tat- tooing,” he said. as barbarous, as torturing and as destructive of health as the Chi- nese wooden shoes. Both e un gainly and deformed feet. C is proud of one kind of deformed: feet and we are piroud of the other.”’ The judge did not send any one to jail for wearing high-héeled shoes, but he sali that he was sorry indeed that he could not do it. He prob- ably Mkewise regrete that he can- not incarcerate women who load up their heads with coils and mountains WOODMAN, SPARK THAT TREE! UM valet ete A t tree! . Toueh nota single bough!

It is not as a ®ong bird or for sentimental reas- ons, howevér, that the quail should be protected and preserved. Read . the following from the Charlotte Chronicle: This is the season when the part- widge ncsts and the young © quail should be protected. The smail bof Black and white, and the roving dog are the woret enemies of the part- Tidge. The tarmer wil) be justified # Yarruping the former and shooting ‘the letter. A law applying to some coutities, if it does not apply to the State, requires the confinement of bird dogs during the summer weason and it is a law that should be enforced. As showing what a ” great friend Bob White ia to the farmer, the Progressive Farmer quotes from a recent article in the Youtb’s Companion that in a single @ay one quai] has eaten 12,500 plan- tian seeds. Other records are: 12,- 000 pigeonweed seeds, or 15,000 of lamb’s quarter in a day, and 1,00 of crabgrass at a meal. When it comes to insects his appetite is @qually good. One quail eats 6,000 plant lice in a day. Alt anoth- er time the same bird devoured 568 tMiocsquitoes in three hours and then quit because the supply gave out. i Am Ff aa c AES hare ‘.

Statute Discovered to Give City More Money. Charlotte Obeerver. At last a method has been devis- ed by which, for a change, the city can get the better of the coumty, or, more accurately, can come into something of its own. This is a method which is to be im -upe in the recorder’s count hereafter. It consigts in suing violators of city: ordinances for the penalties presorib- ed by the city statutes. If the defendants are prosecuted criminally under the State statute which makes the violation of all city ordinances migdemeanors, the fines go to the county school fund, the dity schools feceiving about two-sevenths of it. This method has been evolved by Mr. Paul C. Whitlock, city attorney, after a careful study of the situa- tion. Since a large per centage of the cases which are tfied before the recorder are concrmed with vio-~- lations of ordinances, it is believed that this change wil), in the long run, make an appreciable increase in the city’s income from the court. The Supreme Court of North Car- olina has ruled that penalties dcol- lected for ordinance violations do not belong to the county. Legally there is a distinction between a fime and a penalty, though the defend ,|ant might reasonably contend that 80 far as concems his pocketbook, it is a distinetion without a dif- ference. A fime is a punishment imposed in accord with crimina) stat- utes of the State, while a penalty is recoverable only through civil ac- tion. o Sincé section 3702 of the 1 of 1905 makes it a misdem to violate a municipal ordinance, with a Maximum punishment of 30 days" imprisonment amd $50 fine, , this Statute has usually been uséd for convenience in bringing prosecutions despite the fact that nearly every ordinance carries with it a penalty to be obtained through civil process, (this civil process being carried out in the recorder’s court. An estimate of from $500 to $80¢ @ month, or from $6,000 to $10,000 @ year, is made for the penalties ex- pected to aecrue. For this - month up to Saturday the fines amounted to $1,200 and the costs to only : | $500. “| Labor Leaders to Be ‘ Heard For . Contempt. Washington Digpatch, 26th.

This is) no attempt to discredit Senator Simmons, but is a candid statement of what every one who knows poli- tics. end politicians, knows is true. Moreover, if Senator Simmons is to be given credit for the Watts law, don’t forget Gov.

In case the la- bor leaders are adjudged guilty, it is yet an open question whether the count will impose a jai) sentence. The committee’s report, presented by Chairman J. J.

Mr Shaw says the conditions for a crop of apples in these coumities are good, but that the average for the State will not be over 30 per cent. In Mc- Dowell and Yancey coumties, where the snow caught the apple and peach trees in bloom, a fair crop is indicated. The peach onop in this State will not average more than five per cent. of normal. In some sections of the moumitains, where the fanmers are co-operating with each other in the care of their orch- ards, the crop of apples is better Watauga county is noted at this time for the intelligence displayed in the care of orchards and gathering and shipping of apples.
