Winn, a traveling sales- men for a New Orleans house, wag)! found dead in his foom in the Le- land hotel, in Charlotte, Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock. Winn liad died instantly from a . shot wound’and it was ftixit Jae. to be a case of suicide, as it whe shown that the man had bought # pistol the same mornifg, but in- vestigation by the coroner’s. jury re- sulted in holding two women— Louise Stephens and Dora Wilson —for trial. They were committed to jail without bail. TheStephens. woman first. claimed to beWinn’s wife but subsequently aamitted that she was not. She is fromEufala,Ala., where she married @ man named Dick, and is separated from her husband and children. LastNovemberWinn and the woman came to Charlotte and stopped at the Leland, registering as man and wife. The woman had been there since and Winn usually spent his Sundays with her. It was not known that they were not married until af- ter the tragedy. When Winn's dead- body was found the woman was in the next room with Dora Wilson, with whom she was on Intimate terms, Both aver- red that they didn’t hear the shot, which was heard downstairs in the hotel office, and that they had no intimation of Winn’s purpose to kill himself. The Stephens woman at first fusisted that she was Winn’s * wife, giving date and place of marri- age, but subsequently admitted that they were not married. At the time of his death Winn’s wife was ina sanatorium at Ashe- ville, undergoing treatment for nerv- ous trouble. She has been there for some time and her father,was with her. While the women are held for Winn’s death the evidence against them is not strong... They had ar- ranged to gc on the vaudeville stage and it is believed that Winn object- ed and that possibly the Stephens woman killed him. The condition of the room indicated a struggle. The other woman is held as an ac- complice. On the other hand it is clear that Winn, on the morning of his death, bought the revolver with which he was killed and so far there is no evidence of bad feeling between the two. ® Few Changes i Senatorial Districts.

Statesville this week were a source of amusement to other passengers of the train which they rode because of their feay of the Kestler bridge over Third creek, two miles south: of Statesville. When the us gentlemen got on the train at nelius they told Capt. Bost, it is said, that they positively would not ride across Kestier’s bridge and for him to be sure and let them know before they got there so they could get off and walk into le. Purposely or otherwise, Capt. Bost neglected to inform the two passen- gers about the bridge and other engers who had heard the con- versation said nothing until} after the train had passed over the bridge Then they told the nervous ones that they need fear no longer, for they had already crossed the bridge without knowing it. While they didn’t appreciate it one bit, the Cornelius gentlemen realized that “the laugh was on them,” and see- ing that they were “safe on the other side,” there was nothing they could do save to assure the pussen- gers that they would aot be caught riding over the bridge on the re- turn trip. While the train made the trip of up to Taylorsville and back to Statesville, the Cornelius gentle- men attended to their affairs in Statesville. When the train was ready to leave Statesville for Char- train that morning searched in vain to return home on the train, but would not ride across the bridge. But when the train arrived at Barium, the first stop, the expect- ed happened when the two Corne- lius men climbed aboard and took their seats. Rather than again cross the bridge on the-train they had walked the distance of five miles from Statesville to Barium, and they didn’t mind telling that they had made the trip afoot. They Statesville about an hour and ‘the time for the train tw “and they reached Ba- riam some little time before its ar- rival there.. Whether. they dene cet al ee ment and went over via the wagon bridge is not known. At any rate they didn’t cross in a train. The Kestler bridge is one of the highest and longest in the country and being a wooden structure many people have for years considered it unsafe aud on several occasions ij is said that people who were afraid to cross it have made the trip be- tween Barium and Statesville by pri- vate conveysuce to avoid doing sd. But the old bridge is still doing service, aud when the fact is con- Sidered that heavy sfreight trains cross it daily and occasionally heavy Pullman crains are routed that way in case of wrecks on the Western road,it would seem that there should be no fear of the bridge giving way under the weight of a light train like the two regular passenger trains which pass over it. The railroad company is aware, however, that the old bridge has served its day and @ modern one is needed,and “material is now being placed for the new steel bridge which will take the Place of the old wooden structure. Replacing Wooden B y a reo wily The werk of replacing the old Kestler railroad bridge south of town with a modern steel structure was begun yesterday by a large crew of the Phoenix Bridge Com- pany’s builders. A side track has been built near the bridge and the bridge company’s big derrick car, with Engineer Rickerson in charge, is lifting the huge pieces of éteel from the cars and placing them where desired. The derrick is a Massive machine and attractedj,con- siderable attertion at the railwa: depot yesterday. Some of the big girders. for the new bridge weigh 18 and 20 tons each, but they can be handled with ease by the der- rick. “Some 15 or 20 cars. of steel for the bridge are here and as many more are en route. The work of installing the new bridge will be pushed as rapidly as possible and the work will be done in such a manner that trains may continue to pass. “Mr. Thos. Mad- ten, of the Phoneix company, will superintend the work.

Reno, Nev., Dispateh, Feb. 27th. In a terrific runming battle between @ band of Shoshone Indians who were being pursued by a squad of State police officers, because they were believed to have murdered four stock men recently, eight of the In- dians andEd.Hodfle,a member of the policeforce, were shot and killed yesterday at Kelly Creek, Humboldt county, 25 miles north of Golconda. The battle raged for three hours, and only when four bucks, two squaws, two children and one offi- cer were killed and one young squaw an three children captured, did it end. When Captain J. P. Donnelly and his force of police officers approach- ed, the Indians started their regular war dance and then opened the fight) Some of them were wounded in a running skirmish, which extended over a mile.

If those editors had turned. to. page 530, “Digest and Manual,” prepared by Asher C. Hinds, pursuant to a res- plution of the House of Representa- tives, December 2, 1907, under the héading ‘‘Franking Privilege,” they |} would have read the following: “Members, members-elect, dele- gates and delegates-elect may send free through the mails, under. their franks, any mail matter to’any gov- ernmem official or to any person, correspondence not exceeding two ounces in weight, upon official or departmental business.” Mr. Doughton has therefore the legal right to frank letters written on public business, just as much so as Mr.-Small or Mr. Pou or any oth- er members of Congress. He is written to often on public busi- ness, he writes letters . on public business, and in pursuance of the above rule he uses the franking priv- ilege. He is not, therefore, open to any just criticism. If the law granting this privilege to members-elect is wrong, Republi- can papers should be urging a repeal of the law instead of criticising one Congressman-elect. for doing what all of them do and what the law authorizes them to do, The laws might well be changed to save money to the government, for the franking Privilege is a generous One and costs much money. A Provision to Knock Out Legal Technicalities, |Raleigh News and Observer.

Letter by Clarence Poe, in Pro- gressive Farmer. There is one thing that must be said in favor of the Chinese aystem | ot education, however, and that is the emphasis it has always_laid_on | moral or ethical teaching. Inciden-_ tally; it is virtually a part of the | Chinaman's re’ n to pay all his, debts.on the New. Year, | which comes-in- February. If. he | fails to “square up” at this time ‘he “Joses face,’ as bis expressive Dhinaer has it. He is a bad citizen and un- popular. Consequently all sorts of things may be bought cheaper just before the New Year than any oth- er time. Every man ie willing to make any reasonable sacrifice i the price of .his possessions rather than have a debt against him run over into the few period—an et- cellent idea for America! I do not know whether Confucian ism is responsible for this particu- lar policy, but at any rate the fact remains that outside the Bible the world has never seen a more sublime moral philosophy than that of Con- fucius. It means much, therefore, that every Chinese. pupil must know the maxims and principles of the great sage by heart. Moreover, a8 Confucius did not profess to teach spiritual. truth, the: missionaries in. China are fast coming to realize that itis -both- unnecessary and fooligh to urge the people to abandon Con- fucianism., The policy is to tell the Chinese, “Hold on to all that is good andtruein Confuctus;"’ there is very little in his teaching that is in conflict with religion, and Chris- tian leaders now recognize him as one of the greatest moral forces the world has known. ———— Suggested Revision of the Ten Commandments. Bishop Williams, of the Episcopal district of eastern Michigan, has an- nounced himself in favor of revising the Ten Commandments in accord- ance with the movement set on foot in England. “] don’t believe there is any per- eon nowadays who believes the Lord created heaven and e¢éarth in six days,” said the bishop, “and that is my reason for favoring an abridgement of the Fourth Com- mandment. “If theAmerican Episcopal Church should take up the matter of abridg ing the Decalogue, I would be in favor of abridging the first,second, third, fourth and tenth command- ments.

Presidents. of the United States have on more than one occasion bew » @harged with using patronage to in- fluence the action of Congress. While President Taft's course in this respect: may not. be different ~ from that-of maay-of his predecess- rs, there has been less conceal- ment of hie purpose. The famous letter of the President’s private sec- retary, Mr. Norton, made public last Bummer, in which it was declared that the President had withheld pa- tronage from certain Senators and , Representatives on account of their attitude toward the known wishes of the administration, will be recalled. This is preliminary to saying that Senator Bourne, of Oregon, until a recent trouble over an Oregon ap- pointment an intimate friend of the President, charged by inference, in a epeech’in the Senate Monday night, that the President was using the ap- pointive power to intimidate mem- bers of Congress, and in this con- nection referred to the Norton iet- ter. While the purpose of the speech was clear not a word was maid in defence of the President. The report of Senator Bourne's re- marks says: “Senator Bourne said that the use of the presidential appointing power to coerce members of Congress would be either bribery or intimidation— bribery if patronage wag used as a reward, and intimidtion if withheld @s punishment.In this connection he read section 5450 of the Revised Statutes, making it a crime for any Persoa to offer or give anything of walue to any member of either house ef Cecngress with intent to fluence his vote or decision upon ny matter pending in either house. | Continuing, he saia:- i “The natural inference from the | Norton letter is that the President | of the United States used Federal | patronage to influence the action of | members of Congress. This is a wharge which no citizen can dis- cuss without regret, yet the whole | subject. is of such vita] impor- tance in the preservation of rep- resentative governmen: I w remiss in my duty ‘{ I fated to | 3, 1911. i i feel | call it to the attention of the coun- | *#0 “ere aaiOuKg the pac try and place in available form such | *0220Ke College, a * information relating thereto ag may |\OUlSucrute voterans, owing tpoi|-which thé tax «ome to my attention.

The railroad doubtless has reasons good end sufficient from t+s viewpo! into its confidence? The only reason assigned, so far as The Landmark has learned, is that heating plants have occasionally given trouble elsewhere. That hard- ly seems to be a “good and suffi- cient reason.” Southern had proposed to heat the passenger stations in Charlotte and Salisbury with stoves. this reason would seem xbdsurd. The same pro- cess of reasoning. would eliminate heating plants from ail. tulldings; and it also brings on a discussion ot ths telative valve of heating plants and stoves. lf the Jatter are more satisfactory-——which will hard- ly ‘be seriously contended, yet that is the logic cf the Southern’s conten tion —why do prople spend. money to put heating plants in buildings? ‘ The measure providing for the popular election of Senators by the people failed of a two-thirds vote in tion than was generally expected and the vote indicates that such a méasure will pass Congress in the not distant future.

Seve. snore In this county certain ; ors are sentenced for p ing length to the chain work upon the roads; | duty of the commissioners er this gang, under a keeper ‘of th choosing, to work the | 0 county and keep them in repair, that the ‘people may. . down upon these : and fro in the land. ae er an Now it came to pase in | e of grace 1911, in the second of the year, the that there were no” requests from any particular portion of county for the gang, so the commissioners eaid to the keeper, Mr. W. D. Prev- att: Go to, now, we know that thou art a careful man and a prudent: take therefore the gang called chain to thy farm hard by the town called Lumberton, on the road éalled Gar- thage,and do with them ag thou wilt for the space of 30 days; and for this thou shalt feed the men at. thine own expense and shalt . also work the road thet. runs thy farm; and return again to as at the end of 30 days, Now the keeper had Spon his land many stumps, in an abundance called galore, so mticth go that to the passer by they seemed to freckle the landscape. So the keeper did even according te the word of the commissioners, and atter working “the ~~ specified stretch of road, which is but little more than a stone's throw in length, the keeper caused the men whose la~ bor had been so generously. given him by the commissioners to toil diligently with the stumps, and io, before the 30 days were numbered, tothe passerby the aforetime stump- freckled fields appeared as clean as the palm of a maan’s hand, and as the palm of a Man's hand, and much store of stumps was piled at the keeper’s house. ; And the people m and mid, Was it ever on. tales be- fore? Did we not appoint these men to administer our affairs justly even as they would ‘their own? What’ man is there among them who having a force of hands aud many fields needing work, would lend those hands to his neighbor for a th for their keep, because nO one his overseers asked fo be alowed to work the hands’; : Aad some said it was ane | and an Some said the joke was.on the peo- ple. Meanwhile, nothing was done to- ward improving the roads of the county. But the convicts did-a good job on the keeper's stumps, to the keepens great adyantage. Selab Lae A Nation of * Users of Tobacco. Richmond Times-Dispatch. According to the New York Times in the year 1910, 8,644,537,090 cig~ arettes were made and sold in the United States. Of course, some of these were not used, but the number of unsmoked cigarettes, in compar ison with the number made and gol< is negligible: A nation of than 90,000,000 smokers Almos 100 cigarettea are. produced and distributed in ‘this country every year for every man, woman and child in the United States.: This does not include cigarettes and those which are rolled by the smok~ ors themeelyes, a number of no smal size. Imports of cigarettes are large but in proportion to the output-at home they seem small. The United States Tobacco Jour- nal, which has compiled and prints the statistics of the last year in the trade, says the enormous increase in-1910 over the number of cigar- ettes snioked in 1909, an increase of 1,856,187,308, was’ despite an in crease in the reventie stamp tak of 71 centa, and a widespread move- ment against cigarette smoking throughout. the.country.. Denuncia- tion of the cigarette as a “coffin nail” seems ‘to increase its popu- larity.” Tke consumption of tobacco. in other forma does not decrease excep" in the case of very amall cigars, the output of which dropped oft 49,- $83,526 last year, perhaps on ac- count of increased prices, due to the new stamp tax. Nearly 150,000,000 More large cigars .wére produced, and nearly 160,006,000 more pounds of manufactured tobacco. The Amer- ican people are certainly not turn- ing away from tobacco. —_—_—_—_— A Big Holly Tree. Lenoir Topie. , Possibly the largest holly tree in the State is on the farm of Mr. A. 4. Haigler, 3% miles from Lenoir, on the Hibriten ‘road. The body of the tree for six feet from the groun to the first limbs is two-feet in ai- ameter and is 42. feet in height. The tree must be at least 200 years old and still enjoys a vigorous growth, bearing every year an abun- dance of berries. It is @ rare tree and Mr. Haigter justly prizes it ly, cividzed-world, In 1906, the Amer- ican courts granted 72,000 as agains 40,000 for the rest of the world. In’ forty yearsAhen,the divorce increase has been three times as great as the increase in population. “ " The present ratio of divorce and marriage is 1 to 12. In France, it is 1 to every 25, in Germany 1: to. every 40, and’in England! to every 400 In Missouri one divorce is grant- ed to every } . one to five, and in Texas, Okidhoma and Indiana it is one to six. Professor Ellwood predicts a grea‘ upheaval in America unless gsome- thing is done to preserve the family ties. He saya: “Free divorce is just the same as’ free love. It is just swapping of families, and the free love advocates are more dangerous to society than rehists “I betieve the family {s in a pe- riod of transition in America. I believe we are passing from the-old to a new and higher type of family— a family in which there wont’ be cé- ercion, or authority, or consideration of property in marrying. A place will be reached where love will gov- ern all. The family will be ethical, will be democratic.” The equal right of every member will be regarded sand preserved” “In this tlie Ghild | will be taken. more into consideration 4 jthan it is now. ‘The family of the | Pers must rest on the rights of the child.” | Divorce, thinks Professor Elwood, {ts materially an American institu- tion. More native-born American | get divorces than there are foreign- ers or international couples. More | Protestants than Catholics or Jews. [eet them. — More —-chiidless-tamilies [Obtain them than familes where there ate children. More city reéa- jidents than rural residents are di- | voreed. | -The cause of this state of aftairs |is, thinks the same authority, that people are growing to look at marria a8 @ personal convenience. Industrial conditions and city life enter into the problems. Before there were fac- tories all the work was done at home . The number of such unions has increased from 2 to 20 per eent. since the beginning of the nine teenth century. The divorce question is one of the most important tn the country. Such Studies help nmiuch in the solution of. the problem. == President Taft has decided to re- duce from—18 to_six months the 6en- tence of W. 8S.

The Senate Thursday passed the State primary bill on final reading by a yote of 29 to 18. Senator .|Haymore offered an amendment pro- viding that it shall not apply to the Kepublican party, and Senator Bassett one that any party in any county may be exempted on the adoption ofa resolution by the exec- ative committee on or before July 10th, 1912. Both were defeated. * after a- very warm debate the public highway bill was defeated by a vote of 23 to 18, When the bill passed the Senate a few days ago the bond provision was stricken out and the engineering feature retain- When it came back from the House the bond provision was re- ingerted by that body and the oth- er feature stricken out. At the afternoon session of thd Senate Senator Kitchin asked that the bill relating to the office of cotton weigher in Whitaker’s in Nash and Edgecombe counties, be referred to the committee on prop- ositions and grievances rather t that on Revisal. This was ob to by Senator Bassett, who was will- ing to let it go to the judiciary committee, but by no means to the otner. An extended discuesion he- tween the two ended temporarily when they were called to order be- cause of a dispute in whith each Senator almost pugnaciously disput- ed the assertions of the other. Senator Martin, of Buncombe, made the point of order that the sea sion was called for the purpose of considering only uncontested local measures, but the poifit was over- ruicd; and the matter was resumed. The Sevator from Halifax remarked These things are of common oc-| earrence and the penalty is always | L eure. The warning egainst the “evil woman” is emphasized in the Book of Books. In Proverte 6-24-23 it _ i recorded: “To keep thee from the evil woman, from flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. i Last net after her beauty it thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. for by means of a whorish wo ™Man a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress § will hunt for the precious life.

Order was fi- mally restored, and each made his statement andisturbed. The bill was referred to the judiciary committee. Tae pension bill passed final reading. At the might session of the Sen- ate the revemue bill was considered and 4 gumber of changes made. The t2x om @ealers in pistols was increas- ed from $25 to $100. The tax on sewing machine agents was reduced from $10 to $5-and the tax on sewing machine manufacturers in- creased from $250 to $500. Among the bills introduced in the Hoase -was one to prohibit the run- ning of merry-go-rounds, shooting galleries, etc., on the Lord’s Day in Meckienburg county. The Battle bill to improve the administration of the criminal law came up on a minority report. It | provided a change in the drawing oi juries in capital trials, and allowed the judge under certain conditions to summon a spécial venire, also re- duced the number of challenges for defendants, and changed the law |relative to pleas of insanity. . Mr. Battle, expleining how his bill was reported utfavorably by the judici- jary committee, of which he was |chairman, said that while they were jexcellent men,every one of them e:- “Having been repudiated by +he | cept one was constantly appearingt people throughout the country at the last elecuon, the national aa- ministration is now seeking to -es- cape trom its fatally wrong position On the tariff by a movement to es- tablish reciprocity with Canada. “We recognize the merit embod- fed in the true principle of rectproc- ity” properly applied in connection with a concurrent downward revision of the tariff, amd we commend the Gtatesmanship of the Democratic Representatives inCongress who rose above partisanship in connection with the pending treaty; and de- clare that “We have full confidence that the Democratic House of Representa: tives will promptly enact measures for the downward revision of the tariff on such commodities and pro- ducts as will remove discrimination and make the tariff equitable for all classes.” ~~ Michigan’ is # big lumber State but the Michigan Democrats are ev- idently not afraid of Canadian lum- ber. Certainly if Michigan hes no- thing to fear from duty free lum- ber from Canada, North Carolina meed not be concerned about Cana- dian lumber. Thetruth is, so long @s8 we consider special interests the tarif* will never be revised in the interests of the people; and so long as we try to guard a few pro- ducts in which we are interested we @re estopped from making» war on others who guard things in which they are interested.

LOCAL RAILROAD SCHEDULE, | Arrival and Departure of ‘Traine at Statesville. | “Let’s wreck 27 and have some }fun,” said one of two litth negro lboys, J. Zelle Burke ang Raymond Brown, aged Pf*and 12 years, re spectively, last Thursday afternoon, The boys were playing about the junction, a mile from Mooresville jstation, when the suggestion was made. Acting upon the idea that }it would be great fun to wreck-a jtraiu, the boys secured an angle bar, a device used in railroad congruc- tion, and placed it on the. track. They then crawled back on to the |embankment to see what happened: 'Fortanately Engineer Fetner . was slowing down for the junction»stop and saw the obstruction in time to prevent a wreck, but .not until the engine wheels had passed over |the bar. Of course allthe crew was } ut in a jiffy, looking for the per- petrators of the deed, but the little fellows had taken refuge in some of the houses in that vicinity. A railroad detective came here Mon- day, and-after-a short while got the names of the boye and soon had them in limbo. They were given a hearing Tuesday morning and placec junder a bond of: $200 each for | their appearance at court. | No, 27 is the southbound train jthat plies between Winston. and |\Charlotte, known as the Roan- ° train.

A correspondent writing from New Berne says Neuse river in that vicinity is now filled with large Bhud and thousands of pounds of these fish are brought to New Berne wach day and disposed of to local dealers, who ship them to Northern markets. While with one of the largeét fishermen in this section he informed the Writer that he had cleared more than $2,000 this season on shad alone, and this with only one boat. A few weeks ago the local market Was stocked to ite utmost capacity with oysters. The bivalves now, how- ever, are becoming very scarce, some days not a singlé boat load being brought in.

A decided sensation or surprise ran through a good part of the North Carolina colony when it was discovered Walser had triumph- ed at Lexington, since the refer- ees for that district, Dockery and Hanes, acting for the new’ State committee, had Yelt constrained to resciud the action of the full com- mittee in recommending Walser, as a Majority of the Davidson county committee was against him. . The‘ committee felt impelled to take this action because Mr. Walser had not voted the straight Republi- can ticket and because it was felt that ic would prove unwise, politi- cally, to violate the principle of lo- cal party government.

At all events that is what ne told Conrad and that gen- tleman left Washington feeling that it was all over except the detail of making out his commission. it is not kuown whether the re- sult today is to be taken as an ev- idence of the impotence or the muta bility of Morehead.

Greensboro News, 4th. Three voluntary petitions im bankruptcy were filed ; moruing before Judge Jas. E. Boyd in the District Court, representing in liabilities a total amounting to $581,082.91, with total assets of $41,822.24. The petitioners were Jobn A, Trolinger, president of the ‘Lrolin wood Manufacturing Company; B. 8. Robertson, secretary and treasurer of the same, and the. Trol- inwood Manufacturing Company, all of Haw River, and ehgaged in the manufacture of cotton goods. These failures have caused the failure of a baux in Haw River and it is post sible that other concerns may. be anuounced as affected by the failures. The cause of the failures is not specifically given’ out, but it is stat- ed that the depression in the cot- son market of the recent past ~ is uot responsible for them. On Thursday night, March 2, the Granite Savings and Trust Company, a bank of Haw River, went into the hands of a receiver as a result of the heavy failures. The bank was capitalized at $5,000 and had depos- its aggregating $30,000. There will Probably be no loss for the depos- itors. Charles A. Scott was appoint- ed receiver for the bank. The Trolinwood Manufacturing |Company was organized about six years ago, and the failure of.this |concern, coupled with the- failures of the president and secretary and treasurer, is the second large bank- jrupt case of the year among | cotton mill people of this section.

W. F, Hall's. - WRIDAY, While « the — critics ~-of- Senator Simmons may question his judg- ment in voting for the retention ef Senator Lorimer, they should at the same time be just to him. It was charged that Mr. Lorimer, of lli- nois, had secured his election to theSenate by corrupt methods; that certain members, of the Tlinois Leg- islature were paid money to yote for him, and for this and other) reasons he was not entitled to his “peat. Myr. Lorimer’s fellow-Senators gat as judges and jurors in the case. They heard the evidence and the argument and passed on the question of guilt or inmocence. By a vote of 40 to 46 Lorimer was acquitted... The vote did not follow “party lines. Twenty-two Republi- ans and 18 Democrats voted to convict and 35 Republicane and 11 Democrats voted to acquit. Voting with Senator Simmons “to acquit were Senators Bailey, of Texas; Tillman, of South Carolina; Bank- head and Johnston, of Alabama; Foster and Thornton, of Louisiana, and others. Of the attitude of these men only two things can be said: They either voted their honest, conscienitous convictions, being convinced by the evidence that Lorimer was not guil- ty, or they were influenced by corrupt and dishonest motives. That ts the situation and there is no get- ting around it. Now The Landmark strongly believes that some of the Senators who voted to acquit Lori- mer were influenced by corrupt and seat. of members of the appropriations committee indignantly declared that the item had been’ put in the ‘bill without their knowlédge or consent. The motion of Lorimer to strike see nothing good in the Illinois Senator intimate that the matter was prearranged to give Lorimer an opportunity to make a grand stand play; and it may have been ar- ranged that way a-purpose. y Congress—-which g includes the House and Senate—carries on the payroll a small army of employes. The’ Raleigh Times ‘has published an inventory of the House employes, as follows: The House has a total of 578 employes and pays out in salaries to these employes $744,335.26 annu- ally. The House has five elective officers, not including the Speaker. There are 18 employes under the Speaker, 74 under the clerk, 64 un- der the sergeant-at- » 211 Un- der the doorkeeper, 30 under the postmaster, 41 under the superin- tendent of the capitol building and grounds, 128 clerks and stenogra- phers to committees and 47 jani- tors and messengers. The salaries are: Under the Speaker, $66,940; under the clerk, $133,990; under dishonest motives; it believes that Bome of them, having themselves been elected by corrupt methods, | would have voted for Lorimer un-/| the sergeant-at-arms, $84,666; un- der the doorkeeper, $203,905.25; junder the postmaster, $28,720; un- build- chap- der the superintendent. of ings and grounds, $66,640; lsin, clerks, ete., $190,275. linois, in defending his title to his Attention was called to the item by Senator Lorimer-movitig to} strike it out, whereupon ‘a number} M.. pages and employes eral Assembly, subject of larceny.

But while holding these views The Landmark is impelled to believe that Senator Simmons wag honestly convinced of Lorimer’s in- mocence. If that is not true, the Senator was actuated by dishonor-" able motives. The Landmark does mot believe he was so influenced and those who condemn him will have to show it. This paper has not been a special friend or supporter of Senator | Simmons. These remarks do not Mean that it will support him in the future. But whatever its atti- tude toward Senator Simmons, The Landmark strives to be just to him as it strives to be just to all men, and the views herein get forth “are its ides of justice in this case. The Landmark disagrees. with the Senator” about many things. It thinks he is wrong on Canadian reciprocity and that there ig much “more reason for criticising his at- titude in this matter than in the Lorimer case, as much as it disa- grees with him on that. eens ‘ It is announced that District At- torney Holton proposes to go after the manufacturers and dealers who are shipping cheap, adulterated liq- uor inte the State. It is said he has sent a sample of the stuff. to ‘Washington for analysis and if it is found to be adulterated an inves- tigation under the pure food law will follow. The district attorney has struck a fruitful field. It is Probably within the bounds of reason to say that 75 to 90 per cent. of the stuff sold on the mar- ket today as whiskey is more or less adulterated and the cheap- @r grades are rank poison. People Bhould not drink liquor to be sure, but this does not excuse the wretch- es who put the poison on the market. It is bad enough to. sell Hquor and worse to drink it, but if at ie sold and drunk it should be What it purports to be, and nothing is too severe for the people who well the adulterated ana Poisonous rtuff under the name of liquor. The| Mquor dealers talk much of their “rights” and “personal liberty” and all that. Whatever may be said on this subject, when the quality of the} muff that most of them sell is con- @idered, the wonder is not that they are being driven out of busi- meas, but that they are not put into the penitentiary, as deserve to be, for selling ated goods. being they _ 0h these folks.

While the jobs are many the num- ber of applicants will be far greater. It has been stated that the Demo- crats propose to abolish many of the places and effect a saving of a few hundred thousand © dollars. i'That is what they should do, but the pressure for place’ will be so strong that it is doubtful if this very laudable purpose is carried into effect. . The Asheville blind tigers had a good: scare last week. Asheville is prolific of blind tigers, and not- withstanding the strenuous wars] fare waged against them and that many of the fraternity land on the. Buncombe chain gang on oé¢ecasion, it is about as hard to exterminate them as it is to get rid of wild on- ions or meang grass. When § the law and order league folks, who have men constantly on the job, think they have the pests dug up* by the roots, they find them sprout- ing and growing. To help on the work of extermination, ‘the Legis- lature passed for Buncombe county what is known as the “search and seizure law.’ This law prohibite the storing in one place of more than two gallons of booze, suspected places may be searched and if more than the lawful amount is found the goods may be seized and are prima facie evidence of the unlaw- ful sale, etc. When it was learned that this law had been ratified and enrolled a great fear fell upon the blind tiger tribe in Asheville, 80 much so that their knees smote together. . They were sure that the minions of the law and order league would at ohce inaugurate a gigantic raid and they knew they would be undone when all the wet | Body ptored in their places were brought to) light.

Yet the present Leg-| islature is going to adjourn without | having voted a resolution of thanks | to the trust. A formal resolution of thanks was. not passed, but the trust was am-| ply repaid by the failure to pass an | anti-trust law that will reach that} moucpoly. In fact the tobacco trust has such a hold on the State that | the failure to enact an effective an- | ti-trust measure all these years is duc to its influence; and if the trust did the State a favor by investing in North Carolina bonds, it was then under obligations to the State, and | the continued favor really esta blish- | ©8._a new obligation. The resignation-of Seoretary of | Interior Ballinger was proper. He may not be so bad as he is painted, | but the public had lost confidence | in him and his usefulness as a pub- | lic servant was at an end. There had been hints of impeachment and it mdy be his course was prompted by fear of impeachment. ‘On this point the Washington correspond- mt of the Baltimore Sun saye: It had been known for some Gays that Democratic leaders in| the House had determined to begin impeachment Proceedings against Mr. Ballinger as soon as the special Beation of Congress got under way. Hints of this purpose were thrown out soon after the November elec- tions and were renewed when the whitewushing report of the ma jori- ty members of the investigating | committee was made public. .

The cause of the trouble is a mystery, as both men were on the best of terms, 30 rainutes before the shooting oc- curred. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, Russia, says a moving-picture ma- chine in a small theatre at Bologoic, in the southern part of Novgorod province, exploded Sunday and in- stantly flames shot forth, sweeping rapidly to all parts of the building. There was a terrible panic among the spectators and, according to reports, 90 persons, many of them children, were crushed or burned Half a hundred others John Smith, 14+year-old son of a prominent physician at Johnson City, Tenn., committed suicide a few days ago by taking chloroform. The suicide probably resulted from ‘re- ollowing the shooting by Prof. James P. Gray, pritcipal of the publi¢ school. Prof. Gray had punished the boy for disobedience and\ was shot through the lungs ‘in the school building the next day, while his back was turned. Prof. Gray is re- covering. A great crowd of men gathered in the woods in the vicinity of Charlotte Sunday to .witmete a “chicken dispute.”’ The event was in full blast and the spectators so absorbed in watching the birds fight that an officer walked up “unbe- knownst,” but. when he spoke there was a mighty scattering. However, 19 oltizens appeared before a mag- istrate to answer for violation of the statute made and provided.

Supreme Court Decides Virginia Washington Dispatch, 6th. Sitting in the usual capacity of a board of auditors, the Supreme Court of the United States today computed Virginia was under obligationg to pay over seven million of the 7. ty-three million doliar debt. of’ Vir-/ ginia, which existed when the new State was formed. It was fhe bigé} gest problem “in arithmetic the Su- preme Court has had to handle in "Many years. The exact figure held by the court to be the. proper pro- portion of the old debt which West Virginia is under obligation to bear was $7,182,507. The only opinion announced by the court was in thd Virginia debt case. The court left the final determination of the mat-: ter, including the question of inter- est, to the State to-decide by con- ference. * Justice Holmes announced the opinion. He said the court had re- garded the ratio of the valuation, of the real and personal property of the two States at the time of their separation as the. proper basis for- arriving at West Virginia’ “just and equitable’ proportion of t debt. The court had excluded from “this valuation the value of slaves. d ver . since the civil-war the Commonwealth of Virginia has been endeavoring to collect from West’ Virginia what the former claimed was ‘the latter’s share of the old State’s debt. West. Virginia was said to have acknowledged her lia« bility in the ‘ordinance of Wheel- jag’ before she was admitted to the Union and in her State consti- tution, Finally, when the payment was not made, Virginia brought suit in the Supreme Cotirt for about one third of the State debt as of Janu- ary 1, 1861, estimated then to be about $33,000,000. Phe court ap- pointed Charles EE. Littlefield, of Maine, then- just leaving the House of. Representatives, to be special piapter,.to ascertain the amount of the State debt on Jantary 1, 1861, ond various other estions in con- uection with the. on which West Virginia's proportion should be ascertained.’ His “report was eh to the court March 17, 1910.

Take an- other example of the effects of good roafis: Massachusetts, previous to 1890; found its land rapidly de- creasing in valte. The State began to make improved roads in 1892, As a result, between 1890 and 1900 land in Massachusetts showed the greatest per centage of increase in comparison, with all other States in the Union. From the , farmers’ standpoint, good roads would decrease the. bills for wagon and harness repair. There are over half a million farm |wagons manufactured every year. | Secretary Wilson, of the Department | of Agriculture, says, “Good roads |will be the big factor in doing laway with the isolation of country - life and.in relieving the conges- itions of the cities. Moreover, they |will attract high-class immigrants ito the country.”” All thoughtful peo- ple know that good roads, good churches and good school houses leave a fayorable impression upon the minds of strangers passing | through the country.

Austin, Texas, Dispatch, 6th. a oti the parable of thes - erucesent, Governor Colquitt sent a meseage of censure to the Texas Legislature today following the adoption of a resolution in the low- er house providing for adjournment gine die next Saturday, when the pay of the legislators drops from $5 to $2 a day. For the first 60 days of a legislative session the law provides members of the Assembly shallreceivye $5.0. day,but after that time the smaller amount. If an extra seBsion is called $5 is al- lowed as the per’ diem for 30 days. “No Legislature. of Texas’ has assembled in recent years with so little demanded of it by the people in the way of legislation,’”’ the mes- sage said, and continued: “The de- mand gf the Democratic platform ie that ‘the people shall not be an- noyed by constant political agita- tion’, but that they should be re- lieved therefrom. In consequence the Legislature is earnestly urged to at onee consider and pass bills in which the people are: interested.” (Goverfor Kitchin might with propriety have sent a similar mes- sage to the Legislature which ad- journed . this week.—Thé Land- mark. ] Hig Pension Increase Defeated. Washington Dispatch, 2d, to Bal- timore Sun. ‘ When the pension bill was call ed up late this afternoon Senator Scott, of West Virginia, who has been In charge of the Sulloway age ‘pension bill but has been unable to get it through the Senate, made a jast desperate effort to whip it into law at this session by offering the Sulloway Dill as a “rider” to the pension appropriation bill. Sen- ator Lodge, knowing that the action of Mr. Scott would precipitate a debate that would again tie up the Senate and block all the appro- priation bills, made against the sul- loway bill the point of ordér that it was “new legislation,’”” which, un- der the rule, is not permitted in appropriation bills, Senator Curtis tried to have this decision left to the Senate, but Vice President Shérman ruled that the point of or- dér was so manifestly well taken that it must be sustained. If the ioe Sulloway bill had been added to bel the pension appropriation bill as an amendment it would have increased the total of the appropriation bill by anv additional $45,000,000 to $60, : .

SPEAKING. OF THE LEGISLATUR This from the Charlotte Observer: The adjournment of the Legisla- ture with so meager a record of bills low their own Ifnclination,” ¥nich STATE NEWS. may not always be in accord with Wilkesboro. Pau the wishes of their constituents, In longing to: Mr. RY every Legislature, when some meas- ure of State-wide interst is propos-| birth last week to three 4, members will contend ‘thet the |°P0d Belfer calves, Newton Enterprise: Mr, “Alle people haye not asked for it, which! ,5.e), of Mountain Cheek town. is often true, and hence they have) ship, has-been appointed agent for of State-wide interest enacted cause |,,o4nq for their position. The day Catawba eounty for the farm © de- the Fayetteville Observer to urge 4 longer constitutional term for that body. “It occurs to us,” it remarks, is passed when representatives of | the people should be left to follow “that steps should be taken now t0/their own inclination or to guess at amend the constitution in respect of the sixty days’ limitation for the paid life of the Legislature—a . re- striction inserted when the acts of the carpetbag Legislature were fresh in mind.” One argument for “the sixty-day limitation has indeed passed, but it is somewhat doubtful Jf the proposed extension of time ‘would secure the beneficial results -@esired by our contemporary. The Mood of local legislation which is the cause of the hurry to which the lawmakers are subjected would probably rise higher and higher as opportunity for their “consideration was increased. It is not so much lack of time which stands in the way of State- wide ‘measures as lack of crystal- Vized public sentiment behind them. Jt is only rarely that the Legisla- “ture feels inclined—as in killing the Torrens-system bill—to go contra- ry to the deliberate and generally “expressed opinion of the State. When, however, there appears to be about as much interest against a pending measure as exists in its favor, members can scarcely be blamed for differing on the point f the genuine demand. Those who feel disappointment at the failure of any particular measure before the session adjourned have only to maintain their attitude. If by edu-| cating their fellow-citizens they can ereate public enthusiasm for it wome future Legislature will be more than likely to acquiesce in| their desires. | It is to be doubted, as the Ob- | server says, if the extension of | the time-limit would help matters. | Whe trouble is the flood of local} legislation. It is increasing every | yearand it would seem that if the | Legislature was in session six months) numerous local bills would be offer- | ed every, day to the very end. The | multiplicity of local bills is not 80} much the fault of the legislators, either, as it is the fault of their) constituents. The idea has grown | and grown in this country that ev-! very evil, real and imaginary, can be | eured, and that every benefit, real) and imaginary, cam be secured, by | padsing a law’ And as soon as the| Legislature meets numerous peo-| ple begin to urge an enactment | for this, that or the \other thing, | or amendments for acts already | “passed, and as a consequence the ‘Bocal bills take up the time of the Legislature and measures of State- wide interest receive scant con- | sideration or none at all. ?” | If it were possible to have an| ‘fron-clad rule that would permit no| local bills to be introduced. after | the first 30 days of the session,thus | forcing everybody who desired local | legislation to have their bills ready | a@t the opening of the session, in- | stead of waiting until the session | is well under way before asking for what they want, the cdngestion would be relieved to some extent. | But such a rule would be difficult | of enforcement, if it could bé en- forced at all, and might work hard- | ships in some instances. a Better still would be an amend-| ment to the constitution which would stop the dumping of so many frivol- | ous measures on the Legislature. | The changing of a township bounda-| ry, the draining of a creek and hun- @reds of other measures that affect only a few people but take up the time of the legislators and cost the State much money, should be pro- vided for in some other way. There | was talk at the outset of the re- ent session of making a changeto relieve this condition, but nothing was done, and two years hence the flood of local measures will be greater than ever. The Observer is also right when it says that the failure of so many measures of State-wide interest is due to lack of crystallized public | Sentiment. Therein /is the real | trouble. Political conditions in| North Carolina, and the South gen-| erally, have been such that all our campaigns are made on national is- Bues. Instead of candidates for the | Legislature discussing State andi local issues, telling the people what | they stand for and what they will! Or will not do, practically all of} their time is given to a discussion of the tariff, or national finances, | @r something with which they have| mothing to do officially. There is no reason why this condition should continue. Our people must learn to @lemand that candidates for the Legislature express their views on State measures and measures af- fecting the county they represent If these State and local issues are made prominent in the campaig and the candidate is made to under- mgtand clearly what the people want, he will not be disposed to oppose them, even though his persogal in- elination is otherwise. Year after year we elect ménh to the Lefgisla ture without giving any sort of ex Pression as to what we expect of them, and they not unnaturally fol- | | The people should make their wish- es clear, should demand that the jcandidates define themselves, and |then, if their representatives fail to |heed their wishes, they will know how to proceed im the future. | NOW FOR THE ROAD BONDS. |..Now. that.the Legislature is out jof the way, The Landmark desires {to give a large share of its atten- |tion, from now until May 9, to the monstration work, the position held the last three years by Rey, M.

Body of Gibbs Found in River —VProbably Murder. Dead Face downward in the sand of the river bedy-about 30 feet from shore 4nd within a stone's throw of the, camping ground of the coun+ ty chaing gang, the body of Capt- Edward F. Gibbs was found yester- day afternoon Northeast winds carried the tide out farther yester- day than in many days, and,-while walking along the shore, J. A. By- num, a neighbor of Gibbs, sight- ed the body. Gibbs left bis home, 1% miles distant, Friday morning, February 17, between 4 and 4.30 o'clock, for Elizabeth City to get some barrels. Before leaving he awaked his wife, got $5 to pay for the barrels, and requested his wife to cut a number of potatoes for vianting upon his return. He carried implements to a field nearby «and started up the road with his horse and cart, Short- ly before & o'clock the horse and cart were ‘seen in Llizabeth City. Suspicion was crcused. and word waa sent to Mrs. Gibbs. She came to town and visited friends and: ac- quaintances cf her husband, but no one had seen him that day. ‘Since that day diligent search has been made daily on land and water, but up ‘until yesterday afternoon the fate of the luckless farmer Was shrouded in mystery. That the farmer was murdered there is no doubt. One side of his face was badly bruised and on his forehead, from the roots of his hair to the bridge of his nose, was an ug ly cut. His hands also were si as if with a knife. Clots of blood were found on the side of his head. The body was not bloated, nor was there any water in the fungs, thus precluding all theories of drowning. The money which Gibbs was said to have had when he left home was not found. Lexington, Ky., Dispatch, 9th. After being at liberty for 16 years, T. B. Whitson, who on February 27, 1895, escaped from the State prison at Raleigh, N.

Residing in Letcher county, Ky., as “Samuel Jones,” he has am a comfortable fortune. He was sen- tenced to death March 19, 1893, for the murder of C. C. Byrd, at Bakersville, N.

He charges his arrest to an enemy he made by as sisting in the release from an asy- lum of a man with whom this en- emy had had trouble. LACK OF OBEDIENCE A CURSE. ‘Rev. Dr. A. R, Shaw, of Char- lotte, who conducted a meeting in Greensboro last week, is thus re- | ported by the Greensboro News: Dr. Angus R. Shaw preached a sermon to parents at Westminster church last night, touching vital questions in the light of Biblical au- thority and teaching. His text was Genesis, 44:20: “For how shall I go Up to my father and the lad be| not with me?” The little child is | God's gift to the home, If the Bible doesn't teach ‘original sin it doesn’t teach transgression. Ignorance, weakness, sinfulness must be over-| come by teaching and training. The} difference between teaching and | training is that we teach by telling | to others and giving out information, and we train by what we are“and what we do. If training is deferred until a certain point in life, it may be too late. Dr. Shaw emphasized the great imvortance of firm, wnited. discip- line in the home, and emphasized the word “united.” If there be a difference of opinion between pa- rents they should settle it without tne children knowing it. The lack of obedience ig cursing the world. The speaker declared he had no patience with the curse of maudlin gentiment which says the children eannot be controlled. The place for «a disobedient boy is at the busy end of a switch. “ill teH you, a convenient peach tree in the back yard is 4 great in- Stitution,” Dr. Shaw declared with eM phasis. “When childrem dictate to their parents they have almost no father and only a fraction of a mother. Never deceive a child. I’ve heard sone parents making threats in or-} der to frighten their children into | doing things. If you-haven’t moral backbone enough to control your ehildren without lying to them it is unfortunate that you have any chil- dreu. Dr. Dabney once declared that next to vice ignorance is our greatest opprobrium. ‘Do not seek to leave your chil dren « tortune—the result may be litigation, estrangement and ruin. “A boy reaches ‘fool’s hill’ when he finds out that his father is a dear old fellow but a back number, that his mother is a dear old soul but cut of date, that the lawyers and doctore are not up in their pro- fession, that the farmers don't know how to farm. Watch out for| your boy when he reaches that | hill —it is a dangerous place and he} may be ruined beyond repair before | he reaches the summit. “If you have cards in your home i if you'll take my advice you will | put them in the grate before you) sleep tonight. A small boy went) home from church under conviction | of sin and ran to tell his mother, | who was in a game of bridge whist. Sh¢ heard a few words and waived | him aside, indicating that she want-| a plea for clemency on the upright life he had led since his escape. {The report from Raleigh says Whitson was sentenced to death but sentence was commuted to life imprisqnment. He served from March, 1893, to February, 1895 Whitson is 54 years old. He says he psed to be a bad man but has |reformed and has accumulated con- |siderable property in Kentucky.} For the Rural High Schools. | Raleigh Letter. | An {innovation just being made {in the lite of the rural high schools lof the State under the leadership jof the State Department of Educa | tion, is the organization of declama- \tion, recitation and athletic contests {that are to be held through the co- | operation of the schoole in the differ- aoe divisions into which the schools | An Innovation jare divided, there being six of BLANK BOOKS!

Following is a copy of the club Nquor bill paseed by the Legisla- ‘ture, which was effective March 6, the date of ratification: Section 1. That any corporation, “club, association, person or per “pons, that shall directly or indirect- ‘Vy keep or maintain by itself, him- welf or themselves, or by association / with others or by any other means, .or that shall in any manner aid, as- zist or abet angther or othere 2 keéping or maintaining a club roo for other place where intoxicating SViquors are received or stored for “barter, sale, exchange, distribution Sor division, ameng the members of “any such, club or association or ag- * gregation of persons, or to or among “any other person or persons by any ‘means whatever, or that shall act as agents in ordering, procuring, buying, storing or keeping intoxi- wating liquors for any such purpose “shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; Provided, this act shall not apply ‘to drug stores or medical deposito- ‘ries authorized to sell liquor on prescription as now provided by law, ‘or to churches uéing same for sac- -yaimental purposes, or to hospitals ‘or asylums keeping intoxicating lig- *wors for medical purposes. Section 2. That this act shall be in force from and after its ratifi- fication. The material change made in the bill first proposed ‘was to strike out the provision which prohibited members of clubs storing or keep- ing liquors in individual, lockers. ‘As the law now stands members of clubs may, as individuals, buy and ___atoreliquor_in their club rooms for | personal use, but the liquor cannot be bought in quantity and divided, as the Supreme Court decided could be done under former conditions. The above law is stringent and ghould prove effective, but The THE REASON FOR IT... The reason for the rush of troops to the Mexican border, which puzzled tae country fore day.or two lust week, is explained in The handmark’s néwe coluibns. -Concige- ly étated, the reasons are these: First—To proye to foreign na- tions that the Monroe doctrine is still in force. Seecond—A warni that foreign ifftervention on gro’ that foreign interests in Mexico are imperil will not be tolerated. Third—tTo frighten insurrectos and enforce an armed neutrality. Fourth —An invasion and pacification 6f Mexico in-the event of the death of Diaz. Fifth—To answer criti- cisms that the a is inefficient and unable to mobilize quickly and in good order, Sixth—To give offi- cers and men practical instruction in. field maneuvers with forces on an) exact, war footing. It has been hinted that foreign governments were threatening to protect their interests 4n Mexico, hence it was up to Uncle'Sam to do something to show that the Mon- roe doctrine yet holds good and that foreign intervention on this side cannot be permitted, But evi- dence that foreign governments .cen- templated any such course is lackingy While these things figure in a way, the real reason for the mobili- zation of the troops is to protect American interests in Mexiqn, and if necessary to do this the country will be invaded, although Mexican officialg declare that invasion means war. The real reason for all this military show and expenée, which may mean war and bloodshed and traine of woes, is thus summa- rized: Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate controls the enormous copper out- put of Mexico, Continental Rubber Company dominates that indystry in Mexico. It has concessions for rubber lands in practically all the Mexican States. ° Waters-Pierce Oi] Company (a Standard Oil corporation) has a com plete monopoly of the retail oil business. . Harriman interests own or cdn- trol three-fourths of the raflway lines in Mexico. Landmark is of the opinion that striking out the provision about) lockers affects it materially. If by | joining a club one can have a place | to store and keep liquor, a place where he can go and drink his own liquor or drink with a friend, the j}dominates the industry. Sugar Trust has exclusive beet sugar concessions from every State and Territory in Mexicor It pays no tax on machinery and supplies and Wells-Fargo Expres Company is without serious competition on all railway lines. opportunity and the temptation for drinking—social drinking, which is| most seductive—is greatly increas-| ed. Many an individual who wouldn’t! keep liquor in his home or at his place of business would keep it at club. where others keep liquor and where drinking was common. Bepecially does this locker feature offer opportunities and temptations to boys and young men, many of whom would otherwise lack the op- portunity for social drinking or for drinking at all; and these locker privileges, be it remembered, are not restricted to high-class clubs, where excessive drinking ag rowdy- ism might not be permitted, but any set of men, of any class or condition who have money enough to rent @ room, can organize a “club’’ whee they can store liquor and meet and hold high carnival. The law re- quires that each individual shall buy his own liquor, but with these drinking clubs permitted violation of the law will be natural and in- ‘@vitable and difficult’ of detéetion: The Landmark believes that with the opportunities allowed by the “locker club,’’ even if each individ- wal buys his supply and there is no wiolation of law, the opportunity and temptation to drink, especially to young men, will be as bad, . or ‘Worse, than the open bar of the old days. Many strong | prohibitionists i | the Legislature insisted on this focker club privilege, contending | What its elimination was an invasion| @f personal liberty. It is late in the| day for prohibitionists to talk about | “perscnal liberty’ in connection with liquor. The State having decid-| ed t» prohibit the sale of Hquor—| and its use as near as may be—j} should go to the limit to secure | that end. Hadf way measures are/| a confession of weakness; and if | The Landmark is not much mistaken | the locker ciubs will prove as much | of a tuisance within the next two! years as the near-beer / saloons have within the past two years. | + | | Obeying an act of the recent ae islature, which requires the sheriff | of Anson county to keep blood- | hounds, the sheriff of that coun: | ty, says the Wadesboro Messenger, | has bought two bloodhounds in Ver-| mont, which cost $100, exclusive express charges Think $100 in good money for Vermont hounds!

The powder mill is a mile north of the village, which has a’population of about 700. The force of the explosion com- pletely demolished the houses on Geneva road, which are nearest the mill, and every house in the village was wrecked. Almost equal damage was done in Bristol, four miles west. Blown from their beds, and with the wreckage of their houses tumbling about them, the resident fof Pleasant Prairie loaded their half-clad families on farm wagons and moved in long procession in search of shelter in Kenosha. Ia spite of the tremendous force of the explosion and the fact that nearly every one who was within ten- miles of the factory when it took place was hurt, in no more than a half-dozen cases Were the in- juries severe.

Andisn’t she right? She said further: ‘‘A home is not complete without a Piano.’’ Let me make your home complete. _J. S. Leonard, Music Dealer, s 512 Center Street. ——E= rose Eee !

The various bosses throughout the country have fallen on evil times. The day has been when they were all powerful in many States and lesser communities, but that day has passed, and one by one the men whose rule was Once absolute are dropping by the political wayside. Murphy, the werful Tammany boss, has béen for ve weeks using al) his stre to bring about the election of Sh to the United States Senate, only to find defeat awaiting him at the end of his effort, with his influence badly cri pled in his own immediate bailiwi jas. the result’ of his failure. George \B. Cox, the man who for so man | years controlled the city of Cincinnati jand who last summer absolutely dom- |inated the Republican State conven- tion in Ohiq and forced Nicholas Longworth to vote against himself for the nomination for Governor, now \faces trial for perjury, with a peni- {tentiary yawning at the end. The le rose against the Republican Caeen in New Jersey, and Woodrow | Wilson sent the Democratic bosses to |join them in retirement. The Patter- Althongh an M. D. | acknowledga son machine was broken to bits in patrons that! Tennessee, and when Senator Taylor reaches sought to patch it together by running vernor he was beaten by a Re- publican. So it has been in many other com- |munities throughout the country | where bosses big and little have flour- ‘ished heretofore. The people have ‘been reading and thinking, and the consequence is they have decided to take matters more into their own hands than they have done heretofore. They are as ready as ever to follow leaders who show their right to lead by pursuing the proper paths, but they have decided that they will not be driven in the future as the bosses have driven them in the past. These are the lessons taught those bosses who have tried in the last few months to exercise their old-time power, they may well be read and heeded by those who have not yet been called upon to meet the people in their wrath.

The enormous cost of the prima- ry .0Or the nomination of candidates |{uc mayor of Chicago is argument against the direct prima- ry system. It is an argument, how ;éver, for legislation which will limit jthe cost. One of the candidates, | Mr. Harrison, it is reported, spent jthe great sum of $70,000. Profes {sor Merriam, the successful Repub- \lican candidate, is reported to j|have spent $40,000, while Graham, jthe Democratic machine candidate, | who lost, is said to have = spent |$200,000. The cost of the city in |conducting the primary was $162.,- |500, which is over five times the cost of the Baltimore primaries. The expenditur of $70,000 by a | candidate, or even of $40,000,should |}not be permitted and there should | be legislation to prevent so gross an jabuse. But the expenditure of all |this money by the candidates was ;not reguired by the Chicago law,and |that it was spent cannat be urged a: an argument against the law. If the nominat’ons had been made by a convention, it is possible that some rich candidate might have been “held up” for an even greater sum. Bre. James’ Error and Disappoint- ment, Monroe Journal, S. “The sisters are certainly something now to my notion” is what Rev. R. H. Jathes said the other day when he opened his Jour Dai, put on his specs, and began to doing read. “I see,” he mused, “they have organized a ‘Washing party,’ and that certainly is a good thing, for the ladies have got to learn to wash and do all other house work, now that the niggers are going on strike.”’ But when Bro. James got further along down the column he found Uhat it was a “Washington” party Then he laid down his paper and not ah | that | he himself was admirably fitted .to supply this lack. Taking advantage of the confidence felt by the pen- itentiary authorities due to his clean record while a prisoner, he simply | waiked back to Williamsbyrg coun- } ty and attended to the petition mat- | ter. That done, he returned to Co-| lumbia, repaired to the Governor's | office, filed notice of his petition and contentedly resumed his place in the penitentiary.

Washington ‘Dispatch, 9th. Ali. doubt as. to the purpose of the government ‘in sending 20,000 troops to the Mexicanborder has at last been swept away. The Unit- €d States has determined that the reyolution in the republic to the south miust end. The manpage troops have been sent to form a 80 miitiars wall along the Rio Grande to stop filibustering and to see that there is no further smuggling of arms and men across the interna- tional boundary. It is believed that with this source of contraband supplies cut off the insurrectionary’ movement, which has disturbed conditions generally for nearly a year without accom- plishing anything .like -the ‘forma- tion of a responsible independent government, will speédily come to a close. The Washington government un- expectedly found itself confronted by the..necessity of throwing an ar- my aleng the border line of Mexico to stop the source of supply to the revolutionists and to be in a posi- tion to invade Mexico at a moment's notice in the event of the death of. President Diag or any other un- toward circumstance which might precipitate general fighting or ri- ing. a it was represented at the State Department that the United States must act and act quickly “if the Monroe doctrine was to be main- tained. Foreign interests in Mexico naturally look to the United States for protection under that doctrine. The foreign interests in the repub- lic, however, are not to be com- pared with the American capital in- veeted there. So, after all, the mov to-bring--about more tranquil con- ditions in Mexico has to do princi- pally .with Americans and Amer- ican interests. Just what part the Diaz govern- ment played in recent events has not yet been disclosed. From time t time protests have been made to Washington regarding the violation of the neurtality laws along the border. Such protests, however, would not ordinarily call out such a force as has been rushed toward Texas and the Mexican frontier during the past 48 hours. It is con sidered probable that the Mexican government may have indicated to European powers its inability. to put an end to the disorders so long as succor was given to the revolu- tionist forces in the United States. The Mexican government, whether’ it asked help of this government or not, has been given the greatesi assistance it could have desired. There is no telling at this time how long the big army sent to the ‘Mexican trontier will have to remain there. It will not be until the revo- lution has been ‘crushed out and until conditions in Mexico are mych more stable than they are now be- lieved to be. The situation in low- er California is said to have caused more concern to the United States than at any other point. It was re- ported that the revVolutionists were exceptionally strong there, and threatened to set up a vernmnt independent of either that of Diaz or of the revolutionists to the east. The line between the United States and lower California is but an liuiaginary one and a revolutionary government there would be a source of constant worry. Criticism in Washington—Senator Overman’s Views. . Washington Special, 10th, to Ral- eigh News and Observer. There js much criticism here in Washington of the action of the President in mobilzing a big part of the army on the Mexican border. Republican as well as Democratic Senaters are extremely critical of the move, which it is openly declared was made at the instigation of J. Pierpont Morgan and other great financiers, who have concessions in — that promise them fabulous th. The galling thing to men in pub- lic life here is that the American army should be loaned for the per- petuation of such a despot as Di- az. Recently the administration decided that sthe despot of Nicara- Bua showtld go, and now the gteat- eat despot on the American conti- hent is not only to be sustained, but a people are to be deprived of the right to assume control of their government. It is safe to say that the Demo- cratic House will want to know the reasons prompting ‘the © administra- tion to send troops to the Mexican border. Congress will be asked for a lot of money to meet the ex- pense and Senators and Representa- tives will demand to know what is to be done with the money. “I cannot but help regard this whole movement ‘with suspicion,” it means the invasion of Mexico’ and then annexation, I believe the Amer- Jean people will resent any such action We have had enough of grabbing foreign territory. We ought to make terms at once for vthe transfer of the Philippines to Japan. Butfor the Philippines we would not be spending such enor- mous stims in preparation for war. e acquirement ‘of the islands om Spain has cost the American people hundreds of millions of dol- lars.

If the Legislature had been made up of strong lawyers the Torrens sys- tem would not have fared so badly. But successful lawyers are seldom elected to the islature simply be- cause they! won't have the job. And big lawyers do not care to waste their time searching land titles. It is too tedious a job for them, but the small- fry lawyer is glad to get the job of fixing up land es and examining land titles, an ése little lawyers, therefore, decided that the Torrens “ote ‘just wouldn’t do for North rolina; and ey voted it d in the Legislature. It’s a pity that folks have gotten in the habit of sending young lawyers to make laws for them fore they have as much knowledge of law as a cross-roads magistrate. But that is the waythe folks have been doing to give the yo lawyers a start—to give them a little cheap ad- vertising. A lot of those fellows who frowned at the expressed wishes of their farmer constituents and slapped re the face, have eee of as- pirations to.figure in public life some more, but the short-sighted fellows had not put their ears to the ground and heard the march of the org:mi «d farmer—the business farmer, who knows what he wants. and why_ he wants it. But most of these budding politicians are just the rightage to be- gin to learn and we are of the opinion t they have now arrived at the place where they will proceed to learn a few things that will make a lasting impression upon their thinking works. Fn ene Democrats Will ‘Have to Foot Bills For War Game. Washington Dispatch. President Taft will have to ask the next Democratic Congress, pled¢% ed to government economy, for a de- ficiency appropriation of several millions to defray the ‘‘war maneu- vers”’ now in progress along the Mexican border. Novody at the War Department can tell exactly how much the war game is going to cost, but the ex- penses iucurred in connection with the army of pacification sent to Cuba during the second intervention are taken to give a fair index.’ The army of pacification numbered 5,000 men and cost Uncle Sam $6,509,511. That the present war maneuvers wil be even more costly is indicated by the fact that there are four timse as Many men involved and they are transported by rail ‘instead of by army trapsports. The appropriation for “traysporta tion of the army” for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, is only $11,- 850,485—less than usual. Moreover, it has already been drawn upon to defray the cost of eight months of routine army movemenis. Deat) of -Mrs. Lowrance—Guard Against Fires, Correspondence of The Landmark.

This from the Baltimore Sun: There must be a crisis in the af- fairs of Mexico, a condition far more serious than the officials of \@ither country are willing to ac- Imowledge. That alone can furnish a satisfactory explanation for such @ military demonstration on the Mexican border as we are making. The crisis must have come sudden- ly, for ‘Congress was in session ten days ago anf was not informed of the emergnecy. ; The Massing of 20,000 troops on the frontier savors so stroygly of Preparations for warfare that © the Mexicans cannot be blamed for fear- ing that the next step may be in- wasion, American investors have vast interests in Mexico; many cit-, izens of the United States reside in the republic. It would not be sur- prising if the sight of an army on the border line should intensify the @trong anti-American feeling tha exists in certain sections of Mexico and result in riotous outbreaks that would menace the property and the lHves of Americans. In his capacity as commander-in- chief of thé army and navy, the President has issued the orders for this movemnet of troops and warships. He is alone responsible for the outcome. Oongress was not consulted, so fa® as is known; the eountry at large was not informed, and is still left im ignorance as to the reasons. No ordinary consider<- tion could justify a move fraught With such serious , possibilities, The President must be very sure of his ground.

Senator Overman States the Pur- pose and Plan of Procedure Un- der the Bill, Senator Overman has made public the following statement with _refer- ence to the forest reserve Dill, whith passed the recent Congress. “I have just had a conference with the Secretary of Agriculture on bhiis subject. Secretary Wilson ie one of the commission created by the law to pass upon the pur- chuse of lands and the price to be paid. The other members of this commission are the Secretary’ of War, who is ite chairman, the Sec- retary. of the Interior, and two rep- regentatives each of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The two members appointed by Speaker Canmon to this commission are Rep- resentatives Hawley, of Oregon, and Lee, of Georgia, while Vice Pr dent Sherman appointed Senator Ga’ ling- er, of New Hampshire, and Senator Smith, of Maryland. ‘“‘While the commission will pass finally on the hands to be purchaged, thé forest service is to have charge of the work of designating the boundaries within which it is desir able to acquire land, provided it can be obtained on terms sufficiently favorable to the government, and of examining lands which are offered. This work is, Secretary Wilson pointed out to me, exactly like the work which the forést service. has lofig done in the examination of Wester lands to discover whether or not they can best servé the pub- lic welfare through belfig made na- tional forests. Consequently th forest service has trained experts who are prepared to push the work vigorously. This work will be ex- elusively in the hands of such men so there will be no need to build up a field force of new employes, who would necessarily be inexperienced at firet in the particular kind of work to be done. a “There will be no headquarters established anywhere other than Washington, and all correspondence in regard to the sale of lands should be addressed to the forester, Hon. H. L. Graves, succesaor of Mr. Pinchot The Setretary informed Senacor Overman that fe had suffi-| ecient force for all purposes and there would be no positions to be filled. “A circular is now in course of preparation which will explain fully the procedure to be followed in con- nection with the purchase of lands. The circular will designate a num- ber of regions in which it is desired first to consider purchases. Offers for ‘the sale of land within the areas specified will be requested ahd the bids will be publicly opened by the Secretary of Agwiculture at speci- fied times. . After the bids have been opened, experts from the for- -_— HEI LANDMARK |" Adopts the Greenpich | ant Standard of Time. Charlotte Observer.

Hi the French have pinned their faith to the Paris observatory largely as a matter of national pride ahd have as a consequence been just eleven-min- utes and twenty seconds faster than their neighbors, , The confusion which resulted has finally. overcome the Gallic pride and the French re- public has taken official action de- claring the annihilation of this in- terval of time, bringing tte clocks of France into accord with those elsewhere. Of all the great na- tions Russia alone still chooses to be different in this respect, -its caien- dar showing a variance of some thirteen days from the ordinarily accepted standard. Our time. is based primarily .upon calculations ordered by Julius Cae- sar in 46 B. C. and revised. by the Vatican in 1582. This revision Eng- land itself refused to accept for several generations and it was not until the middle of the eighteenth ceutury that it was officially adopt- ed. At that time it became neces- sary to ccostgn to oblivion eleven days just as France has eliminated eleven minutes and twenty seconds. It chanced that England several loud-voiced demagogues’ just at that juncture and the story of tow they caused riots by persuading the untutored “peasants that the government had stolen eleven days from the life of every subject con- stitutes one of the most picturesque episodes in English history. It is safe to assume that the French time-killers, warned by this example have made sure that their action is ‘“‘understanded of the people.” ae Many Caught By a Falling Wall.

After the examinations have been concluded, reports will be prepared upon which the commission will take action preliminary to purchase by the Secretary of Agriculture. Offers to sell need not necessarily wait until the publication of the circular, since the Secretary of Ag- riculture will be glad to receive at any time bids for the sale of lands in the White Mountain and South- ern Appalachian regions. The Sec- retary has expressed himself as very strongly in hopes that some of the owners of land in the two regione in question may be found who will sell their lands at a nominal or a very reasonable rate, im order that a favorablé start may be secured in the executiog of the new haw. Onw, lande which are not chiefly valua- ble for agriculture will be consider- ed for purchase. Trial of Lewis West and Ed. Purcell at Wilson.

George Harvey, ot Harper's Weekly, in regard to the next presidential campaign, in the concluding address at the 99th annual banquet of the Hiber- nian society here tonight. He con- tinued : ‘ “Let the apportionment of respon- sibility be even. The West has fur- nished the party as well as the op- position with the majority, though not the greatest, of ite issues.

The Landmark is asked to voice} some of the troubles of the Benev- | olent and Relief tion. The | association igs organized to look af- ter the needs of the deserving poor —the sick and destitute—in States- ville. It’s work is of necessity con- fined to Statesville. While it does not confine its efforts strictly (to ti rate limits, its territory is Statesville. It is obvious that the ladies who give their time to this work, often at a sacrifice, could not, if they had the means, look after all the county. Neither can the funds given them for this work be used to provide sustenance or transportation for the peripatetic beggars who constantly drift into town, Rhis explanation is made because every beggar that appears on the street is sent to the society and many people ‘fmom the country call on-it for aid. These calls simply add to the trouble and annoyance of the over-worked officers of the organization. Their work is for and among home people and fey urge that these outsiders be not sent to them, as they can't help them. ATTACKS SCHOOL PRINCIPAL!

THE GOOD ROAD BONDS. Telling about building good roads ‘by bond iésues, the Greensboro News says: ; It has been demonstrated in a business way by progressive commu- nities in North Carolina that bond issues “are the miost desirable and the most just and economical means of procuring money to build roads. What does a progressive farmer oare for a few cents, or éven a few @ollars, more in taxes, if by paying - it he. can make two trips to market in a day where he now makes one, and carry double the tonnage at @ach load, with greater ease? This is not a theory. It has been given a practical test in Guilford and other counties. Guilford was the first county to vote bonds for roads and a large issue—$300,000 —was made. That amount has bee expended, and the result is 100 miles of finely graded and macadam ized roads. The wealth of the coun- ty has increased from $3,061,428.65 in 1900, to $8,600,000 in 1910. This is real and personal property. The population of the county in - 1900 was 39,074, and in 1910 it had in- creased to 60,759, the per centage of increase for Guilford being 54, while the average for the State for the same period was only 16. The taxable values of property in Guil ford in 1900 were $9,070,000, while fn 1910 they had increased to $22,- 778,520. The opponents of road bonds will argue that pay-day is coming in the future. True, we answer; but look at the wealth that is being piled wp to meet it, and the permanent improvements, which the debt was made to provide, will still be here a@s a source of profit and pleasure to those who are to come after us. Our peopis- ult bettevein-—good roads, but are afraid of the cost. Good roads will enhance the value of land, and save thousands of dol- lars wasted in teams, vehicles and harness, make the marketing of all farm produce easier and quicker, and in general make.every one more prosperous. The best argument for bonds is the fact that in those counties where bonds have been is- gued for road improvement the gatisfaction is general, and no one would even think now of giving up their good roads. The cost? It value received! This testimony is from a county that has issued bonds for road work and has a practical demonstration 0 the work. In Iredell it is not pro posed to increase taxes, but to float @ $400,000 bond issue with the road|one of its most prominent families. | tax we are now paying, and in addi- tion, from that same tax, create 4/4.) ..essfal lumberman. sinking fund that will pay off the/is one of the most widely .known As is point-| lawyers of this section and oc- bonds as we go along. ed out above, the increase of wealth ard population is a natural result of building good roads, and the in- crease of wealth of course increas- es th> capacity to pay. In the face of these facts can Ireaell citizeps afford to vote against the hond issue May 9? Bear in mind when you consider the mat- ter, that the failure to vote bonds will mean no change in the rate of taxation. You will pay the same road|progioters of a new hotel at this tax, but it will be a generation or @o before the county will have the good roads under the present sys- tem that it. may obtain in a few years by the bond issue. The Landmark learn that Editor Deaton, of the Mooresville Enterprise, jis not a victim of ‘“appendisightus,’’ as was feared. An editor can hardly afford to have “appendi-cee-tus,’’ and ‘‘ap- pe.?i-sightus” is entirely too rich for the blood of the average news- paper man. That is a disease for high-toners only. As to Shipment of Arms and Mu- nitions of War . Washington Dispatch, 16th. Careful study of the neutrality laws has left the administration’s advisers doubting gravely if the United States can totally prevent the shipment of arms and ammuni- tion to the Meican insurrectos. The Department of Justice's view of the law and its study of the pre- cedents seems to bear out the con- tention as viewed by administration officials, that the government can control, in a measure, the shipment of arms, dealing with each partic- ular case according to the cir- cumstances surrounding it, but there is no general statute which flatly forbids the shipment of arms. A:torney General Harmon in 1895 Zave an opinion to the State De- partment regarding shipment of arms to the Cuban insurrectos, in which he declured that “the mere sale or shipment of arms and munitions of war by versons in the United States | to persons in Cuba is not a violation of international law, however strong a suspicion there may be that they are to be used in an insurrection against ‘he Spanish government.” In“ theWiborg case,which was one preme Court of the United States of the fiiibusters to Cuba, the Su-| affirmed the opinion of the court bed low,that it was no crime to tran port munitions of war to another county if they were to be used for Wer or not, and that it was not an offence to transport persons in- tending to enlist in a foreign army and munitions of war, on the same trip The court, however, upheld the fine distinction that it would have been a br.ach of lew if both the persons intending to enlist and the Munitions oO: war being transport- ed were rarts of the sa military expedition planned and on foot in this country. ° ee cae 9: is delighted to'the whole PLANNED TO KILL THRER.

H. Smith tm the anm and attempt- ing to kit! Duncan EB. Mclver. All three men came here this’ morning with a delegation from Sanford to appear before the corporation com- mission in support of a petition for an additional train between Raleigh and Sanford. * ; ’ Powell has been proprietor of the Sanford Inn for many years, having previously managed 4 well-known re sort hetel near Southern Pines. He recently heard that Smith and Mc- Iver were planning to erect an op- position hotel in Sanford and this had been praying on his mind for! ten days and this week one of the friends who came with them to Raleigh warned McIver that Powell's mind was warped from brooding over the rumor of a rival hotel and he had deep feeling against any one interested in such an enterprise. When Powell saw Smith andMc- Iver enter the waiting room this afternoon, he beckoned to them and they approached. Like a flash he drew one of the two revolvers he had in his overcoat pocket and fired at Smith, who raised his right arm, the bullet cutting his sleeve and inflicting a flesh wound. Turning suddenly, Powell fired at Mclver, who was moving away amid the throng,and the bullet narrowly miss-; ed him and several) bystanders and buried itself In the wall nearby. Ev- idently thinking he had killed both men, Powell placed the weapon un-| der his right ear and snuffed out | his life like a candle, falling to the | tile floor while a number of ladies} fainted and men were hurrying to/| places of safety.

The bill had much support. Many newspapers. in the South supported it—notably the Charlotte Observer in North Caro- lina—favored it-on the™“idea - that, cotton seed oil being used..in the manufacture ‘of oleomarganimé, the ssineniery of the oleomargarine {n- | dustry Would help the.” ¢otton seed oi] business, The Tih dat cstg of course oppose the bill in: their behalf the following interestin statement is furnished The -Land- mark for publication: Ateording to information furnished by the United States Department of Commerce and Labor, 9,611,400 gab | lons of cotton seed oil were produc- | ed in North Carolina in 1909. This | was worth approximately $3,844,560 | This is a considerable amount of | money and the market which de-| mands this product is an important | one to the people of the State. This fact has led men who wish to see oleomargarine take the place of butter to make it appear that the manufacture of oleomarga- rine furnishes one of the greatest | if not the greatest reasons for this | market demand. But such is not | the case. In fact the value of the cotton seed gil used in the manu-| facture of this product is so small | in comparison that it is not worthy | of the least consideration, especially | when the value of the diary products! of the State are considered. | We do not have the statistics for | 1909, but in 1908 the value of the} cotton seed of] used in the manufac- | ture of oleomargarine in thie coun- try was $499,458.42. The value of all the cotton seed oil produced in 1909 was approximately $63,331,400 This means that less than one per cemt. of the cotton seed oil sold was used in making oleomargarine. According to the department re port, North Carolina produced about 6 per cent. of all the cotton seed of] produced in 1909.

Sanford Dispatch, 16th, to Charlotte Observer. A party of Sanford citizens went | to Raleigh this morning to attend a | hearing before the corporation com- mission relative to getting the Wel- don and . Raleigh train to run through to this point. Im this group were Messrs. C. H. Smith, D. E. Me- Iver, O. P. Makepeace, Major Pow- el] ang quite a few other gentlemen. The ‘named three gentlemen are Place to cost some $40,000, which would be in competition, to the ho- tel owned and operated by Major Powell, It is bedieved that this so preyed upon Powell’s mind that he became desperate and imagined him- self ruined, and he planned to. put project out of buat- ness, or at least the three promo- ters. : Several days agq Major Powell borrowed from the Lee Hardware Company an-_automatic Colt pistol and had made an effort to get these three men together to talk the mat- ter over, stating that he only want- ed those three and no more. ing in this, he went with the par ty to Raleigh today and tried to get the men together in the corporation commission’s room but coukd not. Then he went to the station and awaited their arrival, Mr. Makepeace being late in arriving, Major Pow- eli inquired for him. Not finding him and the train being due, he called the firet two men over ihto a corner and began his work. Before leaving Sanford this mofn- ing he called for a hundred dollar bill at the Bank of Sanford and se- | cured $250 from the Banking, Loan & Trust Co. He also wired his gon, John Powell, at Aberdeen, that he was off for Raleigh and for him to come on the next train, No. 66. Ma jor Powell was apparently jolly and in good spirits when he left here,but several days ago one of his’ friends something wrong with his brain; there 1s no doubt of this now. The hotel. project had so wrought )MD his brain that he became insane. Little did these three men think jthat their end had been planned by a'man who for eight years had work- }ed with them and with all Sanford’s people for the growth and advance- ment of Sanford, who had been Powell was well known to | Fail- |% remarked that he believed. there. was According to figures compiled by |the United States Department of Ag- |Ticulture, the value of the butter) | produced in North Carolina in’ 1908 }was $4,566,726, or for every dollar's | worth of cotton seed oi] used in mak- jing obeomargamine the cows of the| State returned over $152 worth of dairy products. These are facts which the farm-| ers of North Carolina should are fully consider before they lend support to apy movement which dis- courages dairying.

This is not even taking into consideration the value of dairy- ing in buélding up the fertility of the soil, thus making the land more productive in growing cotton.

Keb ler, ehief of the drug department of.tie bureau of chemistry, Wast~ ington, D. C. Dr. Kebler is the chemist who made @ teat of coca co la and he testified that coca-cola contains caffeine, declaring that to euch eight-ounce glass there was one aud one-fourth grains of catf- feine, which he says is poison, Dr. Kebdler cited many eminent authorities in proof of his statement that caffeine is a poison and refer- red to a number of deaths rep?rt- ed as being caused by its use. One of these writers had reported a case where four and one-half grains of the drug had produced death, and he dectared that about three giusses of coca cola contained this amouni of caffcine. Dr. Rusby, for the government, stated that no other product bore) the namie of either ‘coco’ or “ko- la." Guvernment chemists stated that cocn cola contained neither co- ea noc Kola and the effort of the government will be to prove that the drink is misbranded. Dr. Kebler testified as to, the find!ng of vermin and bugs in the vate, us the result of his inspection of the coca cola plant in Atlanta. He further testified that caramel and brown sugar were added, and because of their opaqueness, tend- ed to conceal impurities in the co- ca cola syrup. . Dr. John A. Witherspoon,,profes- sor 0” medicine in Vandenbilt Uni- versity, Nashville, testified that from his observation he had known of from 30 to 40 cases-where peo- ple have become addicted to the co- ca cola habit, and that at. least three of them had been taken to hospitals. He said they suffered with nervousness, sleeplessness and jindigestion. He declared that the whiskey habit was easier to break than the habit of drinkimg coca cola, Dr. James T.

Concerning bond issues for pub- lic improvements, the Danbury Re- porter talks sense inthe following: “lt is all right-for. a. private ta-: @ividual to be pful and economi- cal in the of his own affairs, avoiding debt and shunning obligation’ for thé future. But this rule, when applied to great corpo- rations or Commonwealths or coun- ties, works differently. No one would consider seriously. a railway com- pany that-tried’ to*extend its lines on its net earnings, without borrow- ed capital, obtained at low rates of interest. Without -bond ‘issues, the Southern Railway Company coukl never*have opened the South to iic present enormous developments. Without bond issues, ‘the Panama canal would be only an tnteresting dream and never a reality. Without bond issues - North Carolina . would have no capitol at Raleigh, no -in- gane asylums nor penitentiary: It is just as right and proper for corporations, ,Commonwealths and counties to be careful not te go into debt beyond the capacity to pay as for individuals, but whenev- er a bond issue for public improve- ments is mentioned, some people, who are seeking an excuse to op- pose the proposition, will profess to be greatly disturbed over the thought of going in debt... They just can’t abide debt; it drives sleep from their eyes.and slumber from their eyelids. This fea is praise- worthy in a sense only, for when a good investment offers, by which one can make mohey by going into debt, it shows a lack of busifiess sense not to go in-debt. But when you find one of these fellows who is so afraid of debt in @ bond issne, just ask him if he never made a debt in- his life and if he did why he ‘ made it?’ How many people do you know who do not at some time or other go in debt? Very few, and - one. who never made a debt in his life would be a curiosity. This talk of fear of debt in con- nection with a bond issue for pub- lic {mprovements is largely humbug unless credit was already strained, and this cannot be said in connectiog ting the road bond issue in Tre-| ———————_—————__—_ Members of the Farmers’ Unidna from . the tobacco belt. of North Carolina and Virginia met:in Dan- women, strange to say, account it no sin to avoid taxes even if false- hood i#° itivolved, for they regard it as wholly unjust to make them pay taxes. These being the facts—as they are—and the customs inspectors having a tip that the Hulls had val- uable jewelry, there was nothing to_do but make a minute reh. Of Gourde it was nama that the ingpectors réceived a (tip and thus forcéd. the Hulls to submit to & more stringent search than would have’ been the tase otherwise. But the wealth and social prominence ofthe Hulls was no bar,for this is the very class that’ has been smug- gling. If the ladies were subjected to unnecessary indignity while the search -was being made, the. customs officers should be held:to account, but the search itself, even to re- moving their stockings, was *neces- sary in the light of past experi- ences, and there is no way to avoid it. The application for the pardon of Stripling, the Georgia murderer and late chfef of police of Danville, Ya., will be heard by the Georgia prison commiéeion April 6th. -Strip- man, but those who are._pot carried away by their emotions remember that he was convicted and sentenc- ed after a full hearing of the’ case, when everything favorable to - him was brought Sut; and further, that he broke jail and ran away while au application for pardon was pend- iug, That is to say, he had so Ht- tle’ confidence at that time in the strength of the plea of justification, which had failed him in the courts, that he was unwilling to take chatices on getting a pardon, Furthermore it is said that Stripling was so handy with his gun’while he was chief of police of DanviNe that he used it on all occasions and killed two men while in Office, escaping punigh mént on the plea that the men re- sisted arrest.

Both of/théem are men of good character, and they make a good newspaper, One of the best in the South. . Colonel Screws ig an Episcopalian and ,Brother Glass is a Presbyterian, a Presby- terian elder, in fact, which is differ- ent from being a deacon, ag elders are ordained to look after the. spir- itual affairs of the Church, and the special ecclesiastical function of ‘the deacon is to manage its temporal affaire. The office of elder is really higher, therefore, than the - office of deacon, although it must not be inferred that some deacons are not as spiritually-minded as some elders. [Deacon Hemphill knows the differ- ence between elder and deacon be- cause he has held both offices. Whe: he was editor of the Charleston News and Courier he was elder, bu Mr. JJ P. Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer, had him removed - and made a deacon, thus reducing him fh rank for some offence, the na- ture of which we do not now recall. —The Landmark.] These observa- tions are intended only by way of in troduction to the recital of some facts touching a somewhat unpleas- ant incident in the life of Brother Glass, who. is a ruling elder in good and regular standing in the First church of Montgom- ery, and occupies on stated occa- sions a pew near the pulpit. Last Sunday night the Rey, R A. Haden, a Presbyterian missionary stationed at Soochow, China, now on a visit to this country for purpose. presumably of encouraging a larger interest in “his work, and, incidentally, we suppose, the ben- »|tbetr bilndness, the | beads Wie rae "Py in bi he be expected © to tell the truth to the heathen in | . who bow down to ‘wood and stove? ; Pe TO MEXICAN AFFAIRS. tt Will Be American : i wes fae Washington Dispatch to Baltimore Sua, That some reab revelations—an actual expose-concerning the all: subservieney and contro] of the Mex- ican government by.the big.Ameri- can capitalists will result from the present warlike demonstrations of this country against Mexico, is con- sidered probable, There are wow more than a dozen members Of the House and Senate armed to the teeth with facts, ea- gerly awaiting an Opportunity to bring them out. These men are not confined to the Democrats, but in- clude conspicyous members of Mr. Taft’s own party, who aye determin- ed that what they cali: the veil — of mystery, that has been thrown about the whole movement of the military and naval forces by the administra- tion, shall be torn asunder and the American people given the truth, and the whole truth, about the situ- ation. These men are convinced that back of the whole. business can be uncovered the most sordid. kind of sordidness. They feel that the whole inspiration of the whole af- fair has been ‘furnished by the big have been in close touch with the President since the beginning of his administration. They feel that. there can be dis- closed an absolute alliance between j high officiala of this government land President Diaz, founded upon lthe vast amount of American money |that has been invested in Mexican |properties and securities and which |has been used to perpetuate the Di- jaz control. It is contended that had it not |been for the influence of American |capital and American capitalists, |with the pull possessed with the efit of hiis health, filled the pulpit +United States government by these at the First church, and there was Brother Glass seated in his accus- tomed place and ready to listen the message of this missionary to the heathen, and this is what he heard as the preacher, picking up a copy of the Advertiser from for- ninst the Bible and holding it in his hand, said: “No wonder Christian people are not doing th*ir duty, when such a paper as this will come out on Sun- day with 32 pages of matter, includ- ing three pages of. society, one de voted to sports, apd not a line of church notices in it. I understand further that the paper is against the prohibition movement and in fa- vor of the establishment of the #a- loon.”’ ; That was enough to make Broth- er Glass sit up and take notice; but he opened not his mouth, and the missionary continued, turning to the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. Edmonds, whio tried. to stop pim, but couldn’t, saying that he under- stood that this paper is owned “Sy gentlemen who are prominently con- nected with the Christian dénomi- nations of the city, and I understand that one .of the owners. having a controlling. interest in this paper is a member of the session of this church, “Wiat you need is a house- cleaning.”’ " And there sat “Brother Glass throughout the whole of this remark able exhibition of how the gospel is preached to the heathen. ‘‘I’ve got the floor, let me finish!’’ exclaimed the missionary,when the pastor tried to stop bim. “The fact remains that this is a Sunday paper without a sin gle chureh notice in it,” thus prov- ing, it would seem, that he had jconfined his reading of it to ‘‘soci- ety” and “sports,” as after the ser- vices Brother Glass repaired to his offiee and found upon examination that the paper actually contained 4Seight stories relating to the local churches, the pictures of three of the leading teachers who will take part in the Bible Conference to be held in Montgomery next Sunday, a notice of the Baptist Sunday school workers, a notice-of the Christian Endeavorers and their work, notes about the Young Men’s Christian As Sociation, an account of the Lenten @ervices held at the Empress Thea- tre, a stdtement about the music to be rendered, Sunday night at St. John’s Episcopal church, and a five column story about the great work Pbeing done at the Industrial School for Alabama boys, with the object of making them better citizens and better Christians, On Saturday, ag Brother Glasg further deposed, the Advertiser coutained @mple notices of the services to be held at the churches on Sunday, the publication of these notices being made on Sat- urday instead of Sunday, at the spe- (lal request of the Ministers’ Union. It would appear from this statement that the Rév R.A. Haden was prov ed to have made from the pulpit absolute misetatements, not to call them by any harder name. After..the _ services were over, Brother Glass staying until it was all-over, he was appealed-to by a number of other elders and begged not to say anything tothe missionary about it, and as he started down the aisle to the entrance of the church he was greeted by many of the men and women of the congre- gation, none of whom. appeared to have been drinking, we dare say, with many cxpressions of indigna- tion at the brutal attack of the min- ister, and assured that if he had left the building while the mission- ary was speaking they would have followed him !n’a body. Later, five of the elders formally waited upon Brother Glass at his office and ex- Pressed to him their- regret at the performance of tlre preacher § and their lack of sympathy with what he had said. Instead of “a house-cleaning’’ ‘n the First Presbyterian ehurch of Montgomery, it would look as if “a house-cleatiing’ in the miseionary field at Soochow;.Chima, would be better in this case; for ifthe Rev Mr.--Haden would not tell the truth lcapitalists, the Diaz control would long since have ceased in Mexico t©|and a new and vastly more progres- |sive government been established. | It will be charged on the floor of the House that the American finan- lcial interests and the American Federal authorities have lent their aid in the upholding of the Diaz control, in which te embodied the | most horrid form of tyranny alid op- |pression. It will be contended that the Unit States government fur- nished jaz aid and comfort se \cretky for years, and that, urged by lthe financial forces of Wall street, |when matters in the Mexican repub- lic reached a criais, it was induced to Jend him the aid of its army and navy. | The allegation, it is asserted, will ibe made that Diaz is and hae been for years subservient to American capital and that he has practicglly |turmed his country and its resour- |ces over to the exploitation of the big financial buccaneers of the Unit- ed: States. ——_—_ Officers of State Guard. to Be Sent 4 to Texas. Washington Dispatch, ?t6th, to Char- lotte Observer. The officers of the State militia who-are going to the Mexican bord to. witness the military, maneuvers will only have two weeks at the front. This is the decision of the War- Department, which finds that more of the State Guard officers bave volunteered than can be ac- commodated at one time. Officers of the Guard will have all their ex- pensés paid and will draw salary for their two weeks’. service and time consumed in travel at the rate of pay that prevails among officers of the regular army. Within the next week the War Department wiJA prepare a list of officers from the State Guard jn the various States who will be put un- der orders to preceed to Texas and observe the maneuvers. There will be only a few officers from each State chosen for the first asgsign- ment. While the War Department wil] designate the number, the act- ual selection..will be made by the adjutant general in the various States. Ultimately all of the te Guard officers will have opportu- nity to visit the’ Mexican border. The Mexican trip is very popular with State Guard officers. All told 3,008 have volunteered to goto the front. There are. 125 volunteers from North Carolina, Some of the applications from. the State lave come through the adjutant general, others have been received direct by General Wood, fromm officers and members of the State delegation. —_—_——_—K—K—=_—_«_—X—XK—_—KX—sl_l_!

The possipilities for the profitable in “the Southern States, especially ‘in the cotton boll weevil bet, where this insect has‘ rendered it almost im- w cotton with suc- eems, are Pointed out in a bofletin on the “peanut,” just issued by the tational Department of Agriculture, Im fact it is shown that the peanut may be “grown, in the boll weevil districts in the’ South with mneh more profit than the white staple. When the value of the commercial peanut crop of ‘the United States for 1908 was estimated at $12,000,000, the wonder is expressed that this article of food is not more generally cultivated, particularly in the South and Southwest, where it can be grown at a great profit. - The demand for the peanut as, an article of food is naturally grow- ing.. In this connection the inter- esting fact is developed that this country ie a large purchaser of pea- nut ‘oll from abroad, while there are thousands of acres of waste lands in the South capable of pre- ducing ‘enough peanuts to keep the cotton seed oil mille running and furnish more than enough oil for home consumption. That the cultivation of the fpeamut is a profitable industry may. be seen from the figures of the bul, letin. An acre of first-class peanuts calculating the yield at a ton of vines, worth from $8 to $10, and 60 bushels of peas, worth $40 to $60, will give an income of $48 to $70. The cost of growing an acre of peanuts is yariously estimated at $12 to $25, thus showing a net return of $36 to $45. This is above the average crop as now grown in the United States, it is stated, but decidedly lower than may be expect- ed under favorable and proper con- PRICE OF FORESTRY NEGLECT.

Richmond Times-Dispatch. Of course there will be degrees in Heaven, and one star will differ from another in glory, even as the stars now differ in glory, and the first shal be last,and the humble @bell be exalted. AH that will be in. accordance with § the will of the Almighty, so far as it has been revealed unto the children of men; but the citizens of Heaven will fot know it, ot, at least, will not gare about it. As we understand, Heaven is a place or estate in which all the in- habitants are supremely happy, and none gays to his neighbor: ‘‘Well}, you gee, conditions have somewhat changed for you and me since we lived next door to each other on \earth, where you had laid up much goods in store, but you will see that up here I am getting just a lit- tle higher than you.’’ That wouldn’t be Heaven; that would be Hell. In- deed, it is precisely this form that one of the most vivid of the descrip- tions. of Hell is given: “There wam ai certain rich man, and — was aie certain beggar; é they died, as all rich men and all beggars do. In Hell the rich man lifted up his eyes, be ing in torments, and seeing the beg- gar very comfortably provided fon, cried out in his agony, ‘“‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in thig flame.’’ But Abmham said: “Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Mkewise Lazarus evil things; but mow he is comforted, and thou art tormented.” That was Hell, and ‘hat is what Hell will be, and that 1S what Heaven would be if the peo- ple who go there should ever think of comparing themselves with their neighbors. Democratic Doctrine of Equal Rights. 1 Joseph W. Folk. The doctrine of equal rights should be made a living, vital, con- trolling force in the government. This doctrine opposes the privilege of subsidies, bounties and all forms of governmental favors to a few at the burden of all. The government has no more right to take from one man indirectly to add to the wealth of_another than it has to compel ‘One Man directly to contribute to tbe fértunes of another. When such governmental favors are conferred they go to those of wealth and in- fluence enough to secure them and are beyond the reach of the averagé man. If such favors benefited all alike, no one would want them. It is because they give a class privi- leges,. denied to others that these few @¢lamor for them, and it is for thie reason that the rest of the people should not submit to such | digeritiinations. As privilege increas-| €8 opportunity must diminish, and | 28 Opportunity diminishes the rights of the individual are destroyed. This is the reason why, under the Republican syetem, the classes are becoming more opulent and the masses are finding the opportunity for Individual effort growitg less asthe years go by. “Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Ol) is the best for that often fatal disease— croup, Has been used with success in cap Tinea for eight yearé.”—Mrs. L.

News and Observer. The act of the General Assembly recently passed provides that ex- cepting only contracts between a married woman and her husband (Rev: 197), “Every married woman shall be authorized to contract and deal go as to affect her real and personal property in the same man- ner and with the same effect as if she were unmarried.’ The constitu- tion of 1868, 43 years ago, emanci- pated married women as to the con- trol of their property, giving them the same rights as single women. By some oversight a part of. the old Statutes as to the restrictions upon tie right of married women to con- tract was retained and the anomaly has been prolific of trouble. The Supreme Court in several opinions hag suggested, from time to time, that these statutes should be re- pealed and that the right of mar- ried women to contract should be made as broad as the contro} given them of their property. As to conveyances by married women, the constitution requires privy examination only in the joinder by the wife in the convey- ance of the husband's homestead. It is to be regretted that the ‘Leg- fslature in the late act did not re- peal the old statutory requirement of privy examination in all other cases, . This was done long since in all adjoining States—Virginia, South Carolina,’Georgia and Ten- nessee—as in New England, New York and nearly all the other States of the Union. Doubtless our Legislature will do this next time. Dr. Dixon led to Spurgeon's Church. Baltimore Sun. Rev. Dr. Amzi C.

Dr. Charles H. SpuTgeon for many years was pastor of this church.

Will Stockton, colored, has been committed to jail by Justice King to await trial-in Superior Court for ah assault with a deadly weapon on Tom MeLelland; also colored, The trouble occurred one night this week at the home of McLeland in the Rankintown negro settlement and was the result of a quarrel over @ woman who lives at McLelland’s. It is alleged that Stockton drew his pistol and shot at McLelland’s head at close range, but as he fired Mc-~ Lelland stooped to get a rock and the pistol] balis over hie head. Deputy Sheriff Giibert found Stock- ton in bed at the home of a friend. ‘The negro had his gun close by but made no attempt to use it when the officer called. Wee. Shelton, a sporty young negro who has figured in the courts before, is in jail to await trial in Superior Court for stealing a keg of liquor twice—stole the same keg two times—and Elvira Houston, a négro woman, also occupies a cell in the jaij, her alleged offense be- ing the concealment of the booze after it had béen stolen. The ne- groea were given a hearing Wednes- day before Justice Turner, who com- mitted them to jail in default of bond, $250 being required in the case of Shelton and $100 in that of the woman. The case is rather interesting and according to the evidence introduc- ed at the wearing the facts are about as follow: Arthur White, a negro|the above facts are gathered, says ‘during her life. cook employed at Mr. W. C. Moore's | restaurant in the St. Charles Hotel | building, Tuesday received a three- | gallon keg of liquor, which he kept |¢hrown such a cloud over the entire | at the restaurant. ShelRon learned | that White had the liquor and while} the latter was away from.the res entered the place by a rear door and carried the keg out, taking it to a blacksmith shop nearby. A few minutes later White returned to the restaurant and discovered that his booze was gone. He began a hur- ried investigation and soon found @ man who had seen Shelton re- move the keg. Shelton was then; located at the blackemith shop, where he was engaged in pouring the liquor from the hon ine bottles. White took charge of the liquor and threatened to give Shelton a lick- ing, but there was no fight. White returned to the restaurant with his Hquor and placed the keg in a barrel, which he covered with | a box, hoping to make it secure; for the night. But on his arrival | at the restaurant Wednesday morn- | ing he discovered that the keg had | disappeared and further investiga- tion revealed that a sash had been | broken out of a rear window of the restaurant. Shelton was suspected of stealing the booze the second | time and White told his story to) the officers.

Further Particulars of the Gastonia Affair, Which is of Interest in Statesville The shooting of Mr. Geo. A. Jenk- ins at Gastonia Monday night by Spake Elmore, mentioned on an- other page of The Landmark, is of interest in Statesville because Mrs. Jenkins—who was Mise Bertie. Mun- day—4s a native of Statesville and . Jenkins is known to many Statesville peopie. . The facts as to the shooting appear to be as first stated. Mr, Jenkins went tothe home of El- more’s father to get some chick- ens which he had bought from Elmore. He was riding in a sur- rey with a friend, and leaving his friend at the gate he walked on the porchofthe Elmore residence. Just then young Elmore appeared from under the porch and fired on him, without saying a word. Seri- ously wounded,Jenkins managed to get to the surrey and his friend hur- ried him to the hospital. His con- dition is yet eritical. After the shooting young Elmore remained at home until arrested. He said he did not know who the man was but fired on him bechuse on previous occasions he had seen a man about the house and thought it was his purpose to break in. When told who his victim was Ei- ‘more expressed regret, saying that Mr. Jenkins was one of his best friends. Elmore is a single man. The article printed on another page says he is married, but this is an error.

The important fact should not de overlooked that a vote for the road bonds ig also a vote for work- ing the roads dy taxation. The ond bill, which is to be accepted or rejected by the voters of Iredell on the 9th of May, provides working ‘the roads by taxation, and af the bond proposition is accepted the old system of working the roads in Iredell will pass. The old plan is antiquated, of no value so far as permanent benefit is concerned, and yet every male citizen of the coun- ty—outside of incorporated towns —from the age of 18 years to 45, is Mable to road duty six days im the year. While the work done on the rovds is usually of little walue,it takes the time of men who are often busy on their farms, and at the present price of lebor three or four days put in at ruad word will amount to etiough to more th»: pay the road tax of many of, the road workers. This is a view of the bond proposition that should not be overlooked. Of course the $400,000 will not build good roads on all the public roads in the county. Nobody has po claimed,and nobody wil. The plan and the purpose is to put the wain thoroughfares of the county, the leading roads, in good condition and thereafter to maintain them For fine Now and Others Will Charlotte Observer.

There is some sort of merger, in this State now with the so-called Duke mills, headed by Mr. W. A. Br win, but there is no classification as to the goods produced, Gener- ally speaking, the groupe of Parker and Smythe mills are of a class which makes‘the combination eco- nomically feasible...In fact in this day of hard times and unsettled market conditions, the communi- ty of interest feature makes it al- most a necessity. The problem of cost of production; which includes a hundred and one detailg of mate- rial, supplies, labor, operations, as well as the cost of marketing goods, which embraces equally as many times, al go to make the merger of mills desirable from a business standpoint. In the South where the mils are so numerous and asa rule so small, the maintenance of separ- ate organizations for éach individual plant augments the cost of output to a place where the mammoth com- binations of mills have all the ad- vantage. Hence the change. “There is another feature which and to work the other public roads | by such methods as may be adopt- | ed.

F. D., March 20 -——The good roads sentiment keeps growing in thie section and ‘tis as we would oppose it. The only per- Sons opposed to the bonds are those who do not work the roads. The poor man who has to quit his work, in perhaps the busiest sea- gon of the year, to go work the Toads because the overseer has warned him to do so, is going vote for bonds. The poor man is getting tired of working the roads from three to six days in the year, while he perhaps hasn’t used them |}, that many days in the year, al- though his rich neighbor uses them at least two days every week, but has never worked them. No won- der geome of the latter are opposing bonds, when they have, lo for these many years, shunned working the roads. The present system of work- ing the public roads is favorable to the rich, but oppressing to the poor. No wonder some of the aristocrats are opposing the movement, when it will put them on an equality with the poor man. If the bill carries (and we believe it will) it will be a great relief to the laboring man (the ‘salt of the earth) because he can,in place of working the roads, pick his spare time and go work somewhere the aume number of days that he le now required to work the roade and make 20 times the amount it will take to pay his part of the tax on the bonds. While the bond bill is not altogether as we would have it, we are for good roads, and the only way to get them is to vote. for bonds. Let’s work for good roads now, and wait until next campaign to work for salaries. Register and vote for road bonds. No matter if you did register last year, unless you re-register you cannot vote.

The sueeoe of good roads is agi- tating the minds of our people as nev- er before, and it is a sign of progress that such is the case. The people enerally say they want roads; at they are tired of wading through the mud all winter; that they lose, in many instances, because they are un- able to market their products when ae are best, and lose at all times ecause they cannot put on the wag- on what a team ought to pull. These facts are appealing to our farmers and usiness men as they have not before. Then, in a business way, our people are finding that they cannot compete with the more progressive communi- ties near us. The ease -and—con-} venience with which farmers and oth- | ers who use the public highways may travel, are great factors in the up- building of any community or country. There are so many factors that enter into a judicious, and wise study of the good roads question that we are likely to overlook some of the more important ones. | 1 want to state a few concrete facts | that | have gathered from my travel over the State. In the last three years I have traveled in about 75 out of the 100 counties in the State, and in a number of them I have traveled through the country more or less, and can say that I have made it a) point to observe the conditions of the | roads and the people, and the general | indications of prosperity that prevail. There are five counties in the State which are far outstripping all the oth- ers. These are Mecklenburg, For-| syth, Durham, Buncombe and Guil-| ford, and they are the only counties that have made great progress in building good roads. me other |counties are starting this good work, and they are moving forward in pro- portion, but there is not a single in- stance of a prosperous county where there has been no effort toward the betterment of the public highways. In every county where there been a cousiderable effort made in buildin g od roads, there is an alertness ‘an usiness air that is at once felt by the observant traveler. Mecklenburg is known farand wide and the general prosperity is shared by all her people. The beautiful and attractive homes and farms attract the eve of the investor and traveler alike, and notwithstanding the higher priced jland, which is often used as an argu- |ment against road improvement, there lis not much for sale. The good roads (attract the investor and the influx of | {money is astonishing, The amount of money that is going into Charlotte | |every year is bound to enrich the en- | tire county. | The same may be said of each of| !the other counties mentioned above. | korsyth is making wonderful prog- (ness.

One would | not think that the rough mountain} \land of Buncombe would be worth so | much, but it is not for sale at the | prices above named, and, if some far-| mer does decide to sell, the purchaser | is at once on the spot. At the last General Assembly one | township in Wake asked for annexa- | \tion to Durham and the main reason jgiven was that Durham had good |roads, and they wished to be annexed |to that county, notwithstanding the tax.

Washington Special Sun, The ease with which the Taft ad- ministration has found soft berths on commissions for many of the who were separated from the congressional pay roll on March 4 has invited the attention ‘jof insurgents and Democrats alike) put 1 did not spend it. “lame ducks” to the extent to which the government is now indulging and. generally their reports, present- ed after several junketing, are so long and involved that they are seldom studied. The publication of these reports, many of them with poorly edited contents, or containing a staggering array of statistical matter which costs more for type-setting at the govern- ment printing office, adds still fur- ther to the cost of running the government. In the past few years the com-| mission or investigating committee microbe has fastened itself upon the at any other time in the history of the government, and those who in- teud to attack the practice of hav- ing so many commissions created have a wealth of data upon which to make their attack upon them when the special session of Congress is convened. ’ It is admitted that some of these commissions are of value, but it is also claimed that Congress most of the time legislates regardless of the recommendations of commissions even those which were created for its guidance. At present enough “lam+ ducks’ have been cared for on commission of one sort or an- other to 1up the salary bill to them up to more than $100,009. ‘Seven forme: Senators are now drawing salaiics as members, of the Nation- al Monetary Commission at $7,500 aunually. Three former Reprsent:- tives are also on the payroll of this commission. The list of both is as rollows: Senators—Nelson W. Aldrich, Ju- lius Caesar Burrows, Eugene Hale, Hernando D. Money, Frank P. Flint, Henry M. Teller and James P. Talia- ferro Representatives—James MacLac- lan, of California; George Ww Prince, of Ilinois, and Robert W. Bonynge, of Coborado. When this commission was origi- nally appointed the memberswere all contemplated to be Senators”br Representatives. They were sup- poged to draw no salary, but the momem its members went out of Congress provision was made for salaries for them at $7,500 each. Six of the seven Senators on the ccmmission saw the end of their terms on March 4. Just before the final adjournment of the Senate the names of Senators Flint and Taliaferro were added to the com- mission's roll. Senators Aldrich, Hale, Money, Burrows and Teller were already members. Former Con- gressman Bonynge has been a mem- ber of the commission, but the names of Messrs. Prince and Mac- Lachlan were added toward the end of the session, to take effect March 4. A place was very. conveniently made fot Mr. MacLachlan by Rep- resentative Smith, of California. Both came--from the same State, bat Mr. MacLachlan failed of re-elec tion and Mr. Smith won, so the lat- ter resigned several days before the session ended and created a va- cancy which went to his colleague. A lump sum of about $25,000 was appropriated in the dying ‘days of the session for the Canadian Boundary Commission. The State Department fixed the salaries -at $10,000 annually each. President Taft appointed Senator Carter and Representatives Tawney and Denby two of the prominent party leaders in the House, to places on this committee. Both are “lame ducks” Whose salaries will now be $2,500 each in excess of what they were gettiug as members of Congress. A lot of people had forgotten that such a board existed until the an- mouncement was made one day ‘re- cently of these appointments. Besides these places on commis- sions others not on commissions have in the past month gone to ‘lame ducks.”” Senater Warner; of Misscuri, has been given a place at a salary of $5,000 on the board of ordnance and fortifications. Representative Boutelle, one of the principal advocates of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, has been made minister to Portugal at $10,- 000, a jobSthat pays $2,500 more than his former seat in Congress. Congressman Duncan A. McKinlay, one of Prseident Taft’s closest friends and poiitical workers, who did loyal work for him as a spell- binder in the last national cam- paign, was also defeated for re- election, and has been given post of surveyor of customs in San Francisco.

The members of the North Caro- North resentatives that meets for the the State during this generation. K is probable, though not certain by any means, that the delegation will be represented on five of the big- gest committees of Congress. Claude Kitchin is already serving on ways and means, as is Mr. Pou, on the committee. Representative Yates Webb will undoubtedly be ap- pointed on the judiciary committee and will probably be fourth in rank by reason of previous service. The other two big committee aseign- ments which North Carolina stands a good chance of landing, are ap- propriations and rivers and har- bors. Representative Page desires ap- pointment on the first named com- |mittee and Representative John H Small wishes to go in the last nam- ed. The committees named above are probably the five most impor- tant in the House and should North Carolina secure representation in four of the five the Stage can con- der itself fortunate. Represen- tative Claude Kitchin, who is a member of ways and means com- mittee, that is making committee as- signments,is looking after the inter- ests of the North Carolina delega- tion and he will do everything in his power to have all the members well represented on the committees of the House. There must be many disappointments, because if the am- bitions of all Congressmen shou! be gratified, the committees would have to be made ten times their Present size.

Correspondence of The Landmark. Laichowfu, Shantung Province, China, February 8, 1911—Friends i America have doubtless seen much in the papers concerning the plague in Manchuria and North China and are concerned regarding the wel- thia local- ity. Believing that it, will be better to tell of conditiong just as they are rather than hold our friendein }|suspense as to our danger. I seek to give below a sketch of conditions ag they are at present, sp far as we have been able to learn from the sources. at hand. No mail has come to our station from America for three weeks, except one letter, ¢|and none from Shanghai, from which point we get our papers published Chinese. But letters have been received the past few days from all the stations of the North China Mission. Delay of mails is due more to the Chinese New Year polidays than.to the plague. As you probably know, the plague originated in northwestern Man- eburia, contracted hy Chinese and Russians from a small animal much like the marmot, skins of these an- imals bejng collected for fur mer chants in America. The plague spread down through Manchuria in about two weeks and at Harbin other railway stations many hun- dreds had died a week ago, and now at some places the mortality is @ hundred a day. Many Chinese of the Shantung Province, in which the North Chi- na mission stations are. located;work in Manchuria during; the winter. These come home, however, for the Chinese New Year, which fell on January 31st this year. Dur- ing the latter part of January they passed Laichowfu by hundreds and in such numbers came into all the Province. But fortunately many of these left Manchuria_ before ‘ the plague spread south, where most were employed. Enough contracted the disease, however, to spread it along all the principal highways ané in the larger cities of this Prov- ince, such as Chefoo, Tengchowfu, Hwanghien, Laichowfu and Pingtu, in alk-of which we have mission work. The first word received by us that the plague had broken out near Laichowfu was on the 26th of last month, when we were told that a {ew people had died of ita few miles west of the city. A relative had come from Manchuria and gooa died. Later all his family of 15, except a very old man, succumbed to t:e disease. Since then a great many more have died there and are unburied. We are told that when gne of the first deaths in that vil- as-is new on; and /the bien alt epee and his contemporaries are whol- ly unprepared spiritually and intel- lectually to cope with such a crisis nor will they ever be until the gospel. of Christ is preached and heeded and the prin- ciples and enlightenment of Chris- tianity accepted and inculcated. in the whole Empire both by the offi- clals and the people. To give you some idea — ef how badly this is needed permit me give below «4 translation of the proclamation pub- lished by this official and posted at the gates and other conspicuous places in and about the city, this being all, so far as we can learn, that he has done for his people. Fol lowing is the proclamation. May the reader study # and decide for himself whether or not China needs the teachings of Christianity: “1. After the opening of spring, ou a certain day, boil turnip juice and any kind of creeping bean vine, Do iiatter how mach. It ts recom- mended that all the family, large and small, drink it when it is warm. | Thus the plague will be avoided. @ “2. On the sixth day of the sixth moon (July 1) gather horsee-tooth vegetables (namely spinach), dry it in the sun wid lay M away until New Year's morning (February 18, 1912), boil unftl done and pickle im vinegar one year. Partaking of this will also prevent the current malady. “3. Take . one piece of horse bone, wrap im red cloth in a small bag and wear on the side of the body, men on the left and women on the right. “4 In the fifth (last). watch of night throw -black beans— a large handful—into the well un- seen of men. Members of the house hold drinking this water will avoid spreading the infection. In places where river water is used let each household each day at daybreak put a pinch of black beans in the wa- ter jar. This will enable the whole family to avoia the sickness. “5. Use of the Thunder Pill. Ih- gredients: Take rhubarb four ounces gold-leaf flakes; thirty pieces cin- nibar three-tenths of an ounce, alum one ounce, all ground fine and made into pills. Take with water. Dose one-fifth ounce. During the reign of K’ein Lung (1750) the plague devil was driven by thunder pill in hiding in Kiangsu, Ch’angchowfu, during Chu Pu’s magistracy. All who gave this prescription were able to avoid this plague and those who lived by it were beyond num- bering. “6 Take Kwang Tsung (name of a disinfectant) and one lump of whit alum and place in the water jar This is effective. “7. Red sulphur ground fine mixed with water and _ profusely spread in the nostrils of the patient and on the bed will also prevent the spread of the infection. This is a wonderful remedy.” The missionaries at the Laich- owfu station are Misses Mary D. Williford, Cynthia A. Miller, Alice Huey, Pearl Caldwell, Dr. and Mrs. lage occurred, no one was willing to pury the body, but later two men (40,000) eash to bury the body, and only a few days later both of! theni died. Now no one will bury the dead” Upon learning that the disease had spread to the Laichowfu _ dis- trict the missionaries here immedi- jately went into quarantine. Each of the three mission compounds is surrounded by a wall, as are all homes in this. part of China. The gates were closed and notices posted thereon stating why we had quaran- tined. At Chinese New Year hun- dreds of Chinese visitors call on the foreigners, but these did not come this year when word went out that we were not receiving guests. It was also decided to close the hospital, as there seems to be no cure for the disease and cases are fatal. Where the plague is worst is at points. having Chinese. inns, At these travelers stopped on the way and spread the disease. Some days ago at Tru Kiao, 20 miles north of Laichowfu, matters were in a des- perate way. Some 30 or more had died and renrained in the inns un- buried, and the postman tells us today that there are now 70 or more dead in Tru Kiao and other villages north of us and that the disease has spread to the east t many villages the situation is pitiful. At Chefoo there are many cases, though Chefoo its an open port and some quarantine measures were af- fected there. Men from Manchuria were detained there five days, but many coming to this part of the Province disembarked at small sea- ports between here and Chefoo. A FREE TRIP!

It is certain that the Simmone-Kitchin campaign will be 4@ strenuous one for Democracy and, if it is converted into a three-cor- nered fight, the contest will be’ all the more stirring. It has been the impression thus far that ‘Simmons and Kitchin would have a_ clear field for their fight, as ex-Governor Aycock has said he will not oppose Simmons; {[Col, Edmund Jones, of.

The kingdom of [Italy looked backward half a century today and bowed low to the statesmen and /| soldiers whose patriotic efforts brought about the Turin declaration | of March 17, 1861, when united It-| aly - came into being and Victor Emmanuel was designated as ruler of the new kingdom: It is the semi-centennial anniversary of celebrate this summer on a grand | scale. Beginning in the early sum- | mer and continuing until the late autumn, there are to be an almost) triotic demonstrations from to the Alps. The features of inter-| nattonal interest will be the great expositions in Rome and Turin. The movement. which led to unification of Italy Mad its begin- nipg about the middle of the last century. At that time Victor Em- manuel il, a most liberal and states- manlike moaarch, occupied the throne of Sardinia. His great min- ister, Count Cavour, was an ardent believer in Italian unification. In- spired by Garibaldi, Mazzini, Cavour and other eminent and able patri- ots of tne time, Victor Emmanuel joined France in a successful war with Austria for the liberation of northern Italy, and then began to extend the kingdom of Sardinia. Fifty years ago today came the declaration of Turin, when Victor Emmanuel assumed = the title of King ‘of Italy. During the ensuing ten years province after province anited with the new kingdom of It- aly, and finally, in 1870, after a shay Sragsic with the Pope, sup- po by France, Victor Emmanuel annexed the Papal Séates, entered Rome in triumph and from his new capital began to rule a united It- aly.

Not only is it the best looking car but it possesses refinements and conveniences that make for comfort and accessibility that some companies think are unnecessary. Its close-eoupled body and long wheel-base are conducive to easy riding, and its standard features of construction, all found in the most expensive cars, insure unfailing reliability and efficiency and consequent economy of operation. This model is famous for its achievements. During the past year it scored notably in all important endurance runs, and has cen appropriately called ‘‘ The Great Endurance Car.’’ Prior to January Ist it sold for $1600, € and was the equal of any car in the $1800 class. At its new price $1400, it is in a class by itself.

Later he will join his wife in Europe. The case of the government ‘Against Benjamin D. Greene and Jonn’ F. Gaynor was ove of the most important and unusual in the annals.of. American -jurisprudence. More than a decade ago these two were engaged in a contractual mil- Noit-dollar improvement ‘work in Sa- vannah barbor, under the supervis- ion’ of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter. Trouble began when Carter Was given’ the highly prised appoint- Ment as military attache at the Court of St. James. The army offi- cer who succeeded . him—-Captain Cassius E. Gillette—found evidence of fraud in the work, which resulted in a three-months’ court martial for Carter, a fine, a term in Leaven- worth prison, and ultimately in con- fiscation by the government of mon- ey he was alleged to have secured through the harbor frauds. Following Carter’s court-martiel Greene and Gaynor were indicted in December, 1899; Both were re- sourceful men—Greene an honor graduate at West Point amd Gaynor a former New York politician. The fought through the preliminaries so long that the case did not come to trial in Savanmah- until March, 1902. There was al immediate re- cess of a few days, during which the defendants went to New York and thence to Canada. The extra- dition laws did not apply to their case and for about three years they lived in Quebec until on the grounds of courtesy and friendship the Brit- ish government agreed to surrender them. Trial at Savannah before Judge Emory Speer in the United States District Court began on Jan- uary 9, 1906, lasting until April 12, 1906, when they were convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to four years’ imprisonment each and jointly, to the payment of the huge fine of $575,749.90. Greene and Gaynor did not begin their sentences immediate- ly, but fought for more than a year longer, until the United States Cir- cuit Court of Appeale at New Or- leans, and afterwards the Supreme Court of the United States, had act- ed on the case. {When their terms of imprison- STATE NEWS.

Farm- ere have made good use of the fine weather, too, especially those that haven’t .got all their ground ready for their summer crop. Leonard’s school closed with pub- Me exercises Thursday, 23d. There was a large crowd and the exercises were enjoyed. Mr. Van Hoy made a fime speech on education, . which was heard with interest and pleas- ure and there was fine order. The school was taught by Mr. Roy Trout man and,Migs Laura Bradford, who are excellent teachers and will al- ways be kindly remembered by the pupils, After the entertainment Thursday at Leonard’s some of the pupils and the teachers took a “straw ride,” Friday evening, to Clark’s schoo] house, which closed its term with spelling that morn- img, but when the ‘‘straw ride” got there the school had been dismigs- ed and all had gone to Mr. Smith Brown’s, a litthke ways from the school grounds, to hear the phono- graph.

At the meeting Tuesday evening R. R. Clark wes chairman and W. L Gilbert secretary. After discussion a motion prevailed to organize Statesville township for the god roads campaign and to call a meget- ing for April 8 to form a county or- ganization. Mesers. F. A. Sherrill, J. A. Hartness, D. M. Ausiey, N. B. Mille and J. H. Hoffmann were appointed a committee to suggest committees for each of the four pre- cincts of Statesville township and this committee has reported the following: Ward _1—L. O. White, W. M. Ramsey, R. V. Brawley, W. N. White, J. N. McElwee; Ward 2—P. P. Dulip, Lee Morrow, Df Sharpe, J. F. Bagle, A. EB» Welborne Ward 3—T. M. C. Davidson,J. W. C. Long, J. W. Alison, H. A. Yount, J. Randolph French; Ward 4—F. T. Meacham, J. W. Sherrill, L. C. Wag- ner, P. M. Cline, R. R. Clark. It is urged that representatives from every township in the county attend the meeting Saturday, April 8, to form a county organization, and that every precinct in the coun- ty organize by appointing a commit- tee to vigorously prosecute a cam- paign in favor of the bonds. Peo- phe who favor good roads cannot af- ford to neglect this opportunity and every advocate of the bonds should get busy now and make ev- ery effort for the success. of the bond iasue. Most of those who oppose the bonds are under 4 misapprehension as to the facts, and advocates should post the: and make it their busi- peas to get the-correct. facts be- fore the people.

Mr. James, who has been hurt in wrecks a number of times, was at the throttle of the engine draw- ing the east-bound train and. Mr: Harrison was firing the locomotive of the west-bound train. It could not be learned yesterday afternoon whether the men were caught in the engines or whether they were hurt in jumping. Kt is thought that the crew of both engines jumped to save their Mves, for it would seem ~ almost impossible ‘or them to have escaped death if they remained in their cabs. No. 73 was in charge of Conduc- tor P. T. Kale and Conductor 8. E. Shook was running No. 66. The collision was caused by 4 confusion of orders. It is gaid that the trains were to have passed at old Fort but the crew of the wes:- bound train claim they rece:ved no orders to wait at Old Fort on the other train. Wrecking crews from Asheville cleared the track last evening. aan eee Alleged Errors in the Account of Arrest of Frank Brown.

It is asserted that Deputy Collectors Harkrader and Bandy are not en- titled to the credit for making the arrest, but that the work was doné by Deputy Sheriff Tom Gabriel, am sisted by Harkrader; that the wo mep at Lippard’s house did not teld thé oficers there was Bo man about coming down the crashed this paper is under no obligation to /them by applying to Mr. D.

Although the fire started in the northwest corner of the building, it caused the greatest havoc in the southwest corner. Here the red- tiled pointed cupola fell, carrying down part of the carved granite work that supported it and a tow- ering stone chimney. Conservative estimates place the damage to the exterior stone work at $2,000,000. The interior masoury was dam: to the extent of $1,500,000 and the same will represent the loss on the contents of the State hbnary. No trace has yet been found to- night of Samuel J. Abbott, the aged night watchman in the State M brary. The State carried no insurance, as the capitol building had been regarded as absolutely fireproof. It was, in fact, not the building that Burned, but its contents. The fire is supposed to have started from electric wires. Mr. Howard’s Address is Dunlap. Lexington Dispatch. .

The commission authorized to buy land under the provisions of the forest reserve bill, passed by the recent Congress, announces that it is now ready to consider offers. It is probable that the commission will have trouble in ac- quiring land at a reasonable figure. The commission will buy land in the Southern Appalachian moun- tains and the White Mountain For- est Reserve of New England. Im- proved agricultural land or land heavily timbered is not wanted now but culled or cut-over land, land covered with brush that is useful for watershed protection, or aban- doued farm land will be purchased. Landowners should be glad to sell, ata reasonable price, land of this character, considering the use 60 be made of it. . But as it is the government that is offering to buy the landowner will more than like- ly ask twice as’ much as he would ask of a private individual. It is noticed that the govern- ment willmot make a game preserve of the lands purchased, but that the public will have the right to huut and fish on them, subject. to Btate regulations, The sale of land is purely voluntgry and no landown- er need sell unless he chooses. How different this forest reserve bill from what it has been repre- sented. During the years this measure was under consideration, many of the mountain people were made to™~ believe that the gov- ernment would take their land, whether they wanted to sell or not, paying them such price as it would fix if it paid them anything at aH. There were those who professed to believe, and told the people, that their forest lands would be practically confiscated and that the mountain forests would be turned into a great park for the preservation of game, where govern ment officials would enjoy the chase; that wild beasts would thus thrive in the mountain fastnesses and endanger the inhabitants. This and a bot more like it, they said, and many believed. How different it all ist In- stead of the people being deprived of their lands without their con- gent, they can sell at their own figure or not, just as they choose; and they are not even asked to pell good agricultural lands or heav- ily timbered lands. It is only aban- doned land—land useless for agri- cultural or other purposes, for which the owners should be glad to have a purchaser—that the gov- ernment seeks to buy. And the pur- pose to which the land will be put will not be objectionable, but on the contrary so generally helpful that the owners should be glad to ell for that reason if for no other. The misrepresentation to which @ public measure is often subject- ed, through ignorance or design, or Doth, is astonishing. People who believed the forest reserve bill would do all the evil things de- clared ot it should, now that they @ee how harmless it is, realize that the reports circulated about public measures are often. as unfounded as they are rediculous; and that when a measure is proposed and ad- vocated by men who have establish- ed reputaions as truthful and honest eitizens, and who have as much at @take in the proposition us any- body, that it is reasonable to sup- Pose that they would not: champi- on that which would work the dire @isaster claimed for it; that they are not enemies of their country or their fellowmen. Voters of Iredell, when you hear that the pending road bond bill will result’ in evil and evil only, remem- ber the forest reserve bill and the misrepresentations conceming it, and apply the process of elimina- tion. ~ — March $1, 1911. ———— ' In Statesville it is difficult to find men who will consent to be wandidates for aldermen, even when besought by their friends and “Mahy Voters,” and the voluntary @pnouncement of a candidacy: for -the office is almost unknown in re- cent years.

Recently it was reported about the State and published In the news- papers that a ‘progressive Demo- cratic party’ would be organized in North Carolina and that Mr. B. J. Justice, of Greensboro, would be the leader of the orgunization, In a card published in the. Raleigh News and Observer of Tuesday Mr. Justice states bis views and he makes plain the thinge for which, xe stands. Says Mr. Justice; I confess I would Mike to see the Democratic party more progressive than it has been, and believe the progressive sentiment in it should be organized to make it.so. A lange majority of the Democrats in the State stand for the right things, and the ‘party should’ be rescued by them from those who misrepresent it The majority of the Democrats be- ing sound in principle and sipcere in purpose, it behooves those of us who believe in equal rights and no special privileges, and who consti- tute this majority, to organize this organization for the accomplishment of needed and unselfish reforms. Political parties are means to ah end. I am a party man and I belong to the ocratic party because 1 want to cd-operate with those who believe as I do, to the end that we may write our principles into law, and then influence those charged with that duty to enforce the laws courageously and fairly. ‘Others evidently belong to the Democratic party in order that they may confuse its counsels and per- vert its aims. I am thoroughly tir- ed of being misrepresented by Dem ocratic officeholders and of fighting sham-battles, Not only a vast majority of the Democrats, but I believe a large ma- jority of those who affiliaté with the Republican party—the privates in the ranks—are in favor of real government by the people and for the people. Those who serve the ‘Interests’ and who betray the-people are in the minority, but they have the ad- vantage of being organized. They are found in both parties, and,they have been able to misrepresent the majority without paying the penalty, because that majority is unorganized. and, therefore, accepts feigned is- sues and tolerates betrayals. We write platforms for tariff re- duction and look on helplessly while our Representatives, upon one pre- text or another, vote against Jower- ing the tariff. We declare against: subsidies and then re-elect Demo- crats who stand for them. We have distinguished, in our platforms, between legitimate buei- ness on the one hand and private Monopoly on the otherand have de- chaired that the former should be fostered and the latter should be destroyed; and when those elected to represent us are put to the test we see the trusts protected’ upon the pretense that to destroy them will hurt business; and thus the process of accumulating illegitimate millions in the pockets of the few while the masses struggle for the necessaries of life, goes on. We declare in favor of gov- ernment by the people and see the legalized primary, which gives ev- ery man an equal voice in govern- ment, defeated upon the represen- tations of a few that it will ‘ruin the party.” The march of events isin the right direction. Progress is the or- der of the day. The man who does not see that the sway of the politi- cal trickster and the petty boss is at an end is blind. Many good men in Congress, and in the Legislature, as well as out, have been misled and deceived by the misrepresentations of a few de- signing adherents of the ‘Inter- ests.”’ Only a few days ago it was stat- ed on the floor of the State Sen- ate, as a reason for defeating an anti-trust bill, that the farmers who raise tobacco are satisfied with the prices paid them. Dur- ing the same week a few members of the House of Representatives from the west, urged the defeat of the legalized primary, because the people did not want it, and to give it to them would be disastrous to the Democratic party. Neither statement was true. I realize that there are some men in the Democratic party who will disagree with practically all I am saying, but I am sure these men are in the minority, and the time is here when the majority must contro] in these matters; and I believe that the Democratic par- ty should so adjust itaelf as to be the. means through which this ma- jority can give expression to its de- sires. It would be unwise to long- er ignore, or attempt to harmonize, fundamental and inreconcilable dif- ferences. There are two men in the Republican party who will agree with LaFollette and Bristow, to ev- ery one in the Democratic party who stands with Bailey and Murphy. Those who have written the plat- forms and believe in the party’s | professions must not longer permit. jit to be misrepresented, either by ;those who do not profess to believe its doctrines, or by those who pro- | fess to believe in them before the election but become impotent after they get into office. The slogan of the masses against the self-consti- |tuted fdlse headers who have mis- |tepresmted them should be, ‘Abdi- |eate, the bunch of you!” The fight |will not be an easy or a short one, | bat {it is worth while .

After briefly arguing for the primary and criticising those who opposed it in the Legislature, Mr. Justice concludes: ] We have been so long misrepre- sented, both at Washington and at Raleigh, that to advocate. methods and machinery to insure that the people’s will will become law,’ fs to subject those who advocate them te thé charge of being “‘radical.”’ The “Interests’’ have been serv- ed, and special privilege has been the order of the day so long, that those who favor a return to legiti- mate business methods are denom- inated “reyolutionary” and *‘danger- ous.” Se ee , STA NEWS.

EDITOR AND OWNER = = = BROAD STREET RR geemn nod Paice He wo FRIDAY, _— 1911, March 31; Some complain that the road bond DiM gives the county commissioners too much authority with reference to locating roads and obtaining rock etc.,, from private property. This Wrovision of the bond bill is an ex- act copy of the present road law mand it was passed two years ago. The law was designed to prevent land-ownerts blocking road work by demanding unreasonable compensa- on for rights of way and material, but it safeguards the land-owner, by giving him the night of appeal. But whatever may be thought of this provision, defeating the bond issue will not. change it. It is the law mow and will remain the law if the bond issue is defeated. Therefore this objection falls to the ground. The road bond bill provides that the tax levy for roads cannot exceed 25 cents on the $100 of property and 75 cents on the poll. Those who are proclaiming that the’ tax rate will be increased by raising the property assessment, thus cre- ating the impression that this will be done purely on account of the bond issue, are misrepresenting the facts. They know that assessment of property has.always been in- ereased as property values increase (if thjs were not so there would mever be ‘any reassessment); they know that real estate is reassessed ‘every four years; that this is the regular-year—tor—the—reassessment of real estate;that it would have been reassessed if the bond issue had never been suggested; that real estate will be reassessed and the tax rate made just the same if the bond issue is defeated. These are the facts that cannot be denied and the pretence that there is to be a reassessment and an increased assessment fixed up on account of the bond issue is a misrepresenta- tion. “Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would’ answer me, and tha @iine adversary had written a book,” maid Job, whes, in physical and men tal distress, be debated with hie three friends. The medical experts who have testified- for the Coca Cola Company in the government suit at Chattanooga,doubtless wish thet they had not written books. Some four or five of them have testified that caffeine is harmless, only to be confronted with books they had written in which they said exactly the contrary. The excuse they give is that they copied the statement from some other book or that they wrote without knowledge. ~ One said he had changed his mind and when askedif he hadn't changed since he was employed as a witness by the Coca Cola people, he was @umb. Another who holds an im- Portant position.in the University of Pennsylvania said none of the text books declared caffeine a poison ~ “aiid ther mimergus text BOOKS Were | cited to show the man didn’t know what he was talking about, or had Celiberately . misstated facts The Coca Cola folks are certainly unfor- tumate in their witnesses.

Gates, who was sen- tenced to death for burglary in -Bun- ©oMbe county in 1901 and” whose sentence was commuted to life im- prisonment. The pardon of Gates recalls a hoted case. He was one of four—two white men and two negroes—-who attempted to burglar- ize the postoffice at Emma, Bun- combe county. Gates and a negro companion kept watch, while a whit« Man and one negro went inside to work. The postoffice was in a Store and a clerk, named Alexander, slept there: He was held up by the burglars but. while the robbery was in progress their attention was dis- tracted and Alexander gave battle He was shot and desperately wound- ed, but in turn wounded the bur- glares. As a reward for his bravery the government gave Alexander a lu — position In the postal serv- ice, The four men—two whites and two negroes——were arrested, con- victed of burglary and sentenced to “death. One white and one negro were hanged (they went inside) and the sentences of the others were commuted to life imprisonment. The megro died after a term in prison and for two years Gates has been a helplese invalid from rheumatism and paraylais. His pardon is grant- ,@d /on account of his physical. con- dition, the Governor saying that tire State has had his life “except the Shattered end.”’ === ¢ Doubts as to Integrity and dudg- ment.

Among Sue! offices designated are: St. Augus- | tine, Fla.; Rome,Ga.; Elizabeth City, N._.C.; Anderson, S. C., and Alex. andria, Va. Surgeons express amazement at the case of W. F. Jenkins, electrical inventor, of Richmond, Va,, from: whom exactly 6,184 gallstones were | removed by an operation Tuesday night. Dr. Stuart MacLean and a nurse spent two and a half hours counting the gravel, which ranged from the smallest to the largest-| sized stones yet. known. In a conference with Senator Cub lom, chairman of the Senate com- mittee on foreign relations and other members of that committee, Presi- | dent Taft TueSday gave assurance that whatever might be the turn of affairs on the Mexican border, no act of hostility amoungng to a declaration of war would be taken without fully advising Congress. The special grand jury investi- gating alleged graft in municipal circles at Roapoke, Va., returned a report in which Mayor Joel, H. Cutchin is asked to show cause why he should not be removed from office. He is charged with receiy- ing gifts from houses of il] . fame and of being in collusion with them, The removal of a police sergeant is also recommended, on the ground that he has protected gamblers. The New Orleans Picdyune, which | makes it a point to keep close track of the cotton industry and is in po-.} sition to etate facts, says that while it will be a month before alt the cotton crop is in the ground,all in- dications point to a large increase, in cotton acreage.

J. Bryan Grimes as Chief Mount Pleagant, of the Tus carora Indian tribe, formerly . of North Carolina and fér many years residing in Niagara county,’ New York. He explained in broken Eng- lish that he was in North Carolina to look up the rights.of his people in connection with 26,000 acrea o land in Bertie county,on theRoan- oke river, lands that he said. were leased by his people to the State for 100. years when they retined to their kinspeople in New York; that the lease would expire in 1916 and the Indians wish to procure a set- tlement of theix nights in revertal. It developed that soon after Col. Grimes assumed the office of Sec- retary of State, he found in a yer- itable trash pile in one of the State House attic chambers the very: In- dian papers bearing on this land transaction, which involves very val- uable and extensive hotdings. of lands by State Senator Raseoe, of Bertie; C. W. Spruill, J. Gdliam an@ others. However, the papers thatCol.Grimes found include a deed to the State by the Indian chiefs surrendering all rights to amy re- vertale after the expiration of the 100-year lease. But no proof is found yet that this deed was du- ly registered. There was.a_ settle- ment of these Indian land matters in 1802 with W. R. Daves, as the representative of the government, by which adjustment was made of the leases and rentals but this, the Indians claim, was never ratified by the State Legislature so as to make it valid. } They propose to enter into Hti- gation, if necessary, to procure com- pensation from the State or the present holders of the land for their rights in the revertal. Chief Mount Pleasant has spent some time, he says, in the section of Bertie county where the lands = in question are located and has dis cussed the matter with Senator Rascoe and others interested. He expects to be here some days look- ing into the case as it bears on the records in the office of the Sec- P| _|To the Friends of Temperance and | |INDIAN: LOOKING FOR LAND. ;the user nothing if it does not com- Government: The fact that: North Carolina uow has written upon her statute books laws which prohibit the man- ufacture and gale of jiquor,. lays the responsibility upon citizens and}. officers in every community to exe- cute these laws, Let no-one. be- lieve for one minute that the law- less liquor traffic bas a. cbnscience that will lead them voluntarily to obey. The experience of all law- abiding communities teaches us that it is necéssary to use the strong arm of. the law and compel obedi- en¢ce.~ The way the avérage cit- ‘zen in our country enforces law is by electing officers who stand for enforcement, and just at this time, 1 want to emphasize the necessity of citizens uaing their franchise in the ‘election of the right sort..of officers. it is. not enough that we have good laws, we must have faithful and effi ctent officers to make those laws effective and the making of the offi- cer es with the citizens. During this spring many towns anu cities will be electing / their officer, and now is the time for our temperance forces to be at work. See to it that such men are nominated and elected as will guarantee the execution of law. It is che duty of every citizen to give some timeand attention to the mat- ter of civil government, and it shows a lack of patriotism, if not selfish- vess, for men to be so wrapped up in personal or business affairs that they will not give some thought to the selection and election of men who are to manage their bocal government. If the enforcement of the prohi- oition law in your community is not what it ought to be, see that you use your influence to secure offi- cers who will make it good and then give them your full support, as they make‘an honest effort to be true to their official trust. “R.

Stuart Coffey’s Chimney , Pipe Or- | gan at Boone. Hickory Democrat. | “Did. you ever hear of taast | Coffey’s pipe organ at Boone?” ask- | ed Mr: J. Lenoir Cilley of a Demo-| crat man in the First National) Bank. ‘ “Never did?” -. | “Well, it was this way: You| know the wind comes roaring down through a narrow gap-there, at; Boone. All the wind from Tennes- see rushes through at one time, and it so happens that all the chimneys in Boone are built in a straight line from the gap. When the first chimney—that of the hotel —was built it was soon seen that when the wind blew down from the gap it made the hotel chimneys whistle, on the same principal of ja boy blowing into a hollow cane. “Now the brick masons of Boone took note of this phenomena, and when they built other chimneys from time to time, as houses were added to this charming little moun- tain village, they built some lower than others, so that the wind, as it blew over them, would run the chro- matic scale. “Stuart Coffey, Tom Coffey’s boy —he’s the bookkeeper for Henkel- Craig.Live Stock. Co. at Lenoir now ——was a musical genius and he made some apparatus to go over the tops of the chimneys, attaching ropes to each one. Of these he collected the ends in his room at the Coffe; House, and on blustering, Boreal nights he would sit in his room by the hourand play grand pipe organ music, which would startle the be- lated driver of the covered wagon hauling. Watauga cabbages or ap- ples to lowland markets, so. that they would almost think that dooms day was at hand. “TI am surprised you never heard of Tom Coffey’s house.chimney pipe organ. Ask old man Josh Winkler or Bill Fletcher about it! They know it’s so.” Small Section of Yadkin Attached to Forsyth. Elkin Times. . The recemt session of the Legis- lature detached a smallstiice or cor- ner of Yadkin county and joined it to Forsyth county. The detached ter- ritory is a small part of what is known as Litthe Yadkin, a small township embracing only a few @quare miles, and situated on the east,or the Forsyth side,of theYad- kin river, .and ‘separated by the Yadkin river from the main part of Yadkin county. This small township contains within its borders the vil- lage of West Bend, Forsyth county desired to build a good road to the Yadkin river to connect later with a road to be built by Yadkin coun- ty. But in reaching the river on th east side at the best place for a bridge, the road would pass through a corner of Little Yadkin township, and as Forsyth county could not build a road across Yadkin territory, the transfer was made in order that th road might be built. The territory detached embraces less . than one square mile.
