Hendren en in the neighborhood —a rooster—that he wanted and thinking it belonged to Mrs. Weston, bargained with her for it for 25 cents. Mrs. Weston thought the ehicken belonged to her, although She did not go out to identify it. Hendren went ahead and killed the rooster and used it on his table. It then developed that the chicken kifled was the prpoerty of Mr. Jas. A. Davis, of the same community, | and Davis had Hendren arrested and brought to court, charging that Hendren knew the chicken did not belong to Mrs. Weston. The court found, however, that Hendren Killed the chicken in good faith, thinking ft was the property of Mrs. Weston, and the case was ed. There was also some coften- tions about what kind of a chicken it was and it is understood that some of the witnesses had their pockets full of feathers which they wanted to offer as evidence, but the court did not admit the feathers Herbert Barber, the negro who Was arrested in Moor e Thurs- day and brought to Statesville jail because of threats he had made against a white woman, gave bond Friday and was released.

It is estimated that there are 620,000 acres of wheat this seagon in North Carolina, as compared with 570,000 acres for the previous crop.

H. © Edmonds, in this issue, which deals largely with the religious ahd educational phase ft the. good roade question in the Turel. districts. The article is 4 gtrong one and should be pondered. nd educators and all who are anx- iéus for genera) improvement in the ‘rural. districts are especially asked % consider it. 7 bie « Some of the newspapers that make a business of carping are ninging the changes on the establishment ‘of the office of county assessor at “$4-per day, The readers of these papers are told that the Legislature jereated 100 new officers at a salary @f $4 per day for Sach officer. “It ig just as easy, and much better every way,to keep the facts straight nd tell the truth. Under the old system of assessing property a list- taker was appointed for each town- ship and when real estate Was to be reassessed, as is the case thig year, two assessore were appoimted for each township, and: these, with the list-taker, made the assesaments. Im Iredell for instance, 32 men ‘were appointed—and had to be paid, of course—to assess the real estate. Under the new law one Man, the county assessor, takes the place of two in each township— takes the place of 32 men in Iredell. The one assistant assessor in each township takes the place of the Iist- taker aud these and the one coun- ty assessor do the work, Under the change the assessment work in Ire- dell disposes of the services of 31 in ‘each township im the State—several thousand—-there is one) to each county—just 100. It bas always deen so, and always will be, we Suppose, that many people prefer t misstate facts rather than speak the truth. . . . A great storm has been on in Vir- Sinja’ for some weeks on account ef the use of Elson’s history of the United Statesin Roanoke College. The Virginia néwapapers, and, it @eems, the people of Virginia gen- erally, are ‘practically unanimous in @enouncing the use of the book, which, it is alleged, misrepresents The author of the history is Prof. Wittiam Henry — Elson, of Onio. Birange to aay, the president) of Roanoke College and the faculty @tamd by the*book and. propose to wontinue its use, notwithetanding the criticism. The prospect is thet Roanoke College will. suffer, and if the book is anything like it is rep- Tesented any Southern institution that countenances its use should after. Utterances in the book are @eacribed as “vulgar, filthy, obscene, indecent, and unfit’ to be admitted Within the precincts of any decent @r respectable family or school.” Whe Charlotte Observer says it has Weed them and considere them un- Mt to be published in a newspaper. ‘That paper, which is very conserva- tive in such matters, says further that “no institution in the country which esteems the South and desires good feeling among all sections @hould touch Elson’s History of the United States with tongs.” So much by way of passing interest. But the most interesting statement of the Observer is that this so-<alled his- tory “is not altogether absent’ from the North Carolina college world.” The Observer intimates that it will have more to say on the subject and the information is awaited with interest. If any North Carolina in- Mtitution is using the book. the peo- Stull Opposing the Road, sie and Offers Various tions. ; / To the Editor of Thé Landmark; Since we have some explanation as to why the bond bilb was changed in regard to fees, Iwill make some comment on it. That Gause was framed’ by a committee of several men and ‘approved by most if nat all the people, change it only shows how-our poli- ticians represent us’sometimes, As to Messrs. Boyd and Sloan, the writer intends to vote to re-nominate and re-elect them if he has the chance, but who knows whether they will be our next register and treasur- er? For them to come out at the request of the advocates of the bond bill and state that they will receive no fees, looks like coaxing voters, For fear they will ‘not all respond to coaxing, one advocate a to drive them by saying, “Taxpayer, aid you know if you did not vote for the bond bil and fix the limit for road levy at 25 cents on. the $100 worth of property, the com- migsioners of Iredell- under the present law, could, at their next meeting, if they see fit, raise the levy for roads to 50, 75 or 100 cents on the $100 worth of property?” I was told by a man who ig known to most if not ali the vot- ers of Iredell that the advocates of good roads wanted the commission- ers to raise the levy for roads. Now how long will any party be in power handles the taxes this way? To Mr. J. 5. Morrison, of Moores- ville, I wilh say there are Morri- sons in Shiloh and Concord town- ship who were appointed: on the township road committees but who refused to serve because they were not yet in favor of bonds. They are intelligent men or they would not have been appointed, Some ac- couse me of hiding behind the school question. I have no fears while doing this, as the schools shouid come first. The same writer asked why the best teachers go to the towns to teach? ‘The answer is plain—more money and longer em- ployment. As to the weak townships -paying less thah $500 road tax, will The Landmark find out how many miles of public roads the townships paying $500 have and see what this would give them per mile for keeping them up by taxation? According to the figures given in an argument in The Landmark of February 3d, be- tween The Landmark and Mr. J. 8. Clodfelter, $400 was paid Wilkes county for about a half dozen pris. oners. If Iredell had saved the $400 and on the other hand sold a8 many prisoners we would have had $800.

How many be- tween the ages of 20 and 30 will be living at that time? Will The Landmark recopy the vote in re- gard to the demonstration work as it was taken at a picnic given at the State Farm last summer? My information about Greensboro, in regard to bonds, can be found by searching the files of the Greensbor: Industrial News. If I were to call the name of the one who informed me it would be familar to nearly all the citizens of Iredell. I refe red to Greensboro bonds to show that the making of one debt often causes the making of another. In regard to building court houses, jails and railroads by bond issue, a court house and jail are needed at ali.times; railroads are needed at all times, and besides they pay a direct dividend and most of them would bring more than the cost of building at any time if they were offered for sale. Can this be said of a macadam road?, It ig sald they induce population and capital. I-refer to the statement that has been made of Guilford county. Stony Point has tripled in population in three years and there ig no macadam road in Alexander. Furthermore, much of the capital has gone from Iredell, which has some macadam road. ~ Will say to Mr. Burke, if he will get out of his rubber-tire buggy or his auto and get on a wagon loaded with wood and ride five miles over a macadamized road when thé road is in need. of repair, and then vote Probable Increase in Taxable ues, Raleigh Dispatch.

These are the pl asking for an increase tn tax, if any body is, The bond é ask for the Hmit of 25 cents. It ie easier to ask questions than to answer them. Nobody knows just how many miles of public poads there are in each township. If Mr. Morrison: can say how, much — 16 ex- pended on the public roads of his -Lownehip uhder the present system of working the roads, coumting the time the hands work each year and apportioning’ it per mile, we will undertake to say that more money will be. spent on them and that they will be kept im better con- dition, under the pro} System. Mr. Morrison i that ~ the county could save money by abolish- ing the chain’ ang, selling the pris- oners to other counties for court costs and all work by contract. That is merely his opinion, with practically nothing to-sustain it, But if he is right, why should any ‘coun- ty want to buy the prisonere? Why is it that In every coumty In the State where road work of conse- quence has ben done it is done by convict labor, and every county that hesn't enough convicts of its own is eager to secure prisoners from other counties? Some of these people—Mecklenburg for © in- stance—have been working the noads under thi§ system for many years. Is it possible they haven’t. discover- ed what Mr. Morrison has discovere —-tiigt it is a losing game? The only criticism The Landmark has to make of the caunty commissioners is that they have not, in the past, secured more convicts from outside and kept a larger force, as it is cheaper to maintain a Yarge chain gang force than a small one. But as the county commissioners have gone on record with the promise to expend the bond, money by contract —Jjust what Mr. Morrison is asking for—and to hire the chain’ gang to contractors—abolish it for the time at teastso far as the county is concerned——-what’s the use of haggling about this matter? The Landmark suggested that when the jail tax is off, as it will be soon, that a county home could be built without adding to the levy, using the jail tax for that purpose. Instead of putting # off, this pa- per has clamored for a modern county home for 15 years,. without any help from Mr. Morrison, so far as known. We have no doubt many people would insist on waiting, and would suddenly become zealous for achools, for demonstration work, or something other than the object proposed, although they might have never been heard to utter a word for these things before. This at least is the case in the road bond issue. Instead of standing up square, some of the anti-bond peo- ple are discussing all sorts of ir- relevant things to divert the igeue. After some urging, by a States ville lawyer at that, a good bunch ‘people, probably 75 or 100, stood up for the déniénstration~work »at- the State farm, and The Landmark thinks, as it has seid, that the commissioners should have made the appropriation. But they left the matter open for a month, asking for expression form the péople, and about all the expression they got was in oppositién, so they con- cluded the people didn’t want it. But it is past understanding why Mr, Morrison keepe ringing in the demonstration work, inasmuch as he not only did not ask for it but does not now commét himself to it. In a former article he said: “Will not say this appropriation should have béen made.” -Refuses to com- mit himself, but complains because the commissioners didn’t do what he wouldn't ask them to do. The referénce to Greensboro, even, if shown correct—and it is not yet shown—amounts to nothing. Even if Greensboro did get so in debt that it was necessary to in- crease property assessments solely on that eccount, it can be answeped that thousands of other places have issued bond« without such action jbeing necezeary. Statesville hag a good-sized bended debt,* and the property ascesement in this town has uever been increased to what \it should be, although it is on par j}with the assessments in the coun- ity, if not higher. But for informa- tion about Greensboro and Guilford county, see statement of C. C. Me Lean, secretary Greensboro cham- ber of commerce, in The Landmark of -Aprit 28,-page 3..-That informa- tion is direct, not hearsay. The taxable property in Iredell is, ~in round numpers, about $10,000,000. 4 per cent. that. With indebted- ness of only 4 per cent. the fear of an increased assessment for that purpose is groundless. Good public. roads are as nec- essary as court houses and jails and raihroads.

The world owes the United States $441,000,000 for food, clothing and raw materials sold abroad. Only once has the balance of trade been higher in favor of this country, ac- cording to government figures: That was in 1908. when it was more than $550,000,000. Close observers of finance and trade predict a record-breaking fis- cal year if the favorable condition continues until June. While opin- fon is divided over the significance of the fact that the balance for March was less than half the size of that of previous months, some point out that March a year ago produced a balance entirely in the other direction, with an excess of im- ports of mure than $19,000,000. 7 YEARS SUFFERING I Was Cured by Lydia E.

It was a. disappointed crowd that went to Williams yesterday in quest of the famous Yadkin corn, 30,000 gallons of which Uncle Sam had announced by an official order ’ from the pen of the United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue that he would put on sale to the - highest. bidder. The booze was there all right, #@tored snugly away in the big ware- house. The buyers were there— they came from the hills of Yadkin and the woods of Wilkes, from the cities far away and from Winston- Salem near by. They were there on foot, on horseback, in buggies, and Bome came sizzing through the Tields in big touring cars. By dif- ‘ferent-routes they came, by differ- ent modes they journeyed to the mec a of their desires. * * One man ie said to have had $100,000 in dis am, That would have bought it The sale did not come off, howev- erand it is related that Mr.N.

Ow- ding to the fact that the Federal ‘Judge haw not rendered a decision fm the case the sale was postponed. The contention of the revenue de- partment is that the whiskey, which das been ‘in the warehouse for the past five years, is not sufficiently bonded,and the sale i@ for the tax- 2. The owners of the whiskey claim that the bond is just as good as it ver was, and demand the right to keep the whiskey there in the ware- house just as it has remained for . half a decade. —_—_— North {arolina oe on Com- mittiees, ‘Washington Dispatch.

TALK NO. 9. REGISTRATION..BOOKS CLOSE ON NIGHT OF MAY 6TH, AND IF YOU HAVE NOT AL- READY REGISTERED, YOU HAD BETTER ATTEND TO IT AT ONCE BEFORE YOU OVERLOOK IT.. None of us can afford to turn our backs on the most important public measure, without exception that has ever been presented to the people of Iredell county. It will bring nsa degree of satisfaction, eomfort and prosperity impossible to have without a system of good roads extending throughout the county. We have reached the point where we must stand still—and that means going backward—or be in line with other counties in North Carolina that show a progressive spirit, and that means but one thing—GOING FORWARD. ; There is nothing that can keep an agricultural people backward more than bad roads. The annu- al cost of bad roads to the people of the United States is now several hundred million dollars. Good roads cost money, but they are worth what they cost many times over. Now, that’s been proven time and. right here in the counties of our own State who have built good roads during the last few years. In the connty of Mecklenburg the value of real estate has about quadrupled since the beginning of roads movement. The country people in our neighbor county—Mecklenburg—would not be without good roads, no matter what they cost, and the best evidence is that they now have about 300 miles of roads to be proud of The Good Roads Bond Bill .is a clean-ent, busi- ness-like proposition and not any ‘‘wild-cat” financ- ing If you will read the bill carefully, you will see that the interests of the people are carefully guarded, and from the fact the bill provides that road tax cannot, under any circumstances, exceed 25c. on every $100 worth of property is evidence of itself that the people’s {nterests have been fully protected. Under present road law the county commissioners are not limited as to tax rate'for roads, They can raise the rate to whatever they deem necessary— . but, remember, under the Good Roads Bond Bill the tax rate cannot exceed 25c. on every $100 worth of property. The present rate is 234c. It, therefore, means that the rate could not under the bill be in- creased more than lic. on every $100 and that is too small an amount to consider. Be at the polls on the mornitig of May 9th (Elec- tion Day) and let’s make history in old Iredel) by voting for a measure to give us what we need— Good Roads. Remember, those roads are not sim- ply for us—-but also for future generations.

Charlotte Observer, April 30. Of paramount interest to milk men throughout the country will be the meeting in this city tomorrow of a number of those cotton spinmers who are concerned in the much-talk ed-of $10,000,000 merger of Southern! yarn mills, a preliminary meeting of | which was held several weeks ago im! Washington. It is expected that at this meet- ing there will be a careful inventory made of the situation particularly as it relates to the Carolina ° mille that are interested in the proposed combination. If current reports are to be accepted as true, there are seme 600,000 spindles already signed with probably as many more interest- ed, These mills are sc&ttered throughout the South, the majority of course being located in the Caro- linas and Georgia. It is more than likely that another meetiiig will -be held later at some point farther South. {The effort to form a cotton mill merger, in other words a combine or trust, has been under way for some time and has made considerable prog Southern States.)

The question of good roads is nomic value,ut is at the same time of vital importance from the relig- lous and educational standpoint, Some years. ago I heard the dent of a religious convention in the South, io his annual addres, say. t three or four thousand delegates and ‘visitors to whom he was speak. ing, that it was their duty to work with untiring energy to secure . the building-of good roads. “It is,’ he said, ‘vain to hope to build up the churches of the country districta to their bighest point of efficiency so long as impassable roads make church attendance practically, impos- sible for a large part of the year.” The more I thought over the empha- sis which he hid upom the building of good roads as a part of the. re- ligious duty of every man to whom he wus speaking, the more deeply I have been impressed with the signifi- cance of his statements, It may be said that bad hoads Mean the non-development to the fullest extent of religious and edu- eational activities; they mean lbone- liness on the farm, and loneliness is one of the impelling forces driving people from country to city Wife. It is not possible to retain upo) the farm either the young people or the more active laborers so much needed in farm work, so long as bad roads make easy transportation back and forth an imposaibility. While I cannot vouch for its accuracy, it has often been claimed that the loneliness of country life results in more insanity among farmers’ wives in proportion to the total number Zi is to be found in any other Zim of people. Whether this oft- repeated statement be correct 7 not, I can readily imagine that there may be some truth in it. The men on the farm are able to move around, to meet each other at the country store or to engage in out- side pursuits which furnish some di- version. The farmer’s wife ih ¢ country of bad roads has Mttle or no diversion; it is almost impossi- bié during a large part of the year for her to visit friends or to attend .church, and no wonder the monotony of a life where bad roads produce these results hange like a pal’ over her. Outside of the influence of bad roads against educational and re- ligious development and outside of the adverse influence of bad roads through fntensifying the loneliness of country life, the loss to fanmers and to all others using roade is in the aggregate staggering. We com- plain bitterly against the ratiroads for freight charges and yet put up with the cost of hauling over roads so many times greater than the cost of railroad freights per mile that we can but be amazéd at our own failure to utilize our oppor- tunities. Every wheel that turns over a bad road adde to the cost of living and doing business; every farmer is daily paying a toll through the heavy burden of bad roads which in the aggregate cost is far more thap his taxation, both State and national. In fact as an economic! 5 problem pure and simple, the ques- tion of good roads is of more vital concern to the Amenican people than the question of protection or free trade. There is no other eco- nomic problem before the country of more importance for the people ofall classes and all sections than that of good roads. While bad roads mean undeveloped educational and religious activities, continued loneli- ness of country life, hack of pros- ty on the farms as compared with what there might be, and many other disadvantages, good roads on the other hand mean the highest educational and religious advancement, a more genéral pros, perity of all classes, the elimination of the loneliness of couitry life, and the keeping at home of tens of thou- sands of people who without good roads will continue to crowd to the cities, often to their_own disadvan- tage and to the disadvantage of the cities. Well-nounded national devel- opment can only come through the highest development of the agricu! tural districts, and this can only come through the highst develop- ment of all religious and education- al activities and social possibilitics, The country. must..be made as at- tractive through good roads, and’ thé blessing which they bring, as the city, or otherwise we shall have a continuation of the tremendous drain from the country to the city, which has been one of the dominant feat- ures of our natsonal growth durii: the last quarter of a century. I believe it may be said without question that broadly speaking the building of good roads through any settled district does not in reali- ty cost the county, State or individ- ual a single doMar. ‘This is due to the fact that the construction of im- proved highways immediately results in enhancement, in the values of all adjacent properties by reason, so far as the farming districts are concerned, of the higher profits which ‘come through reduced cost in cultivating and shipping all pro- ducts. A striking iNustration of this was recently given when one of the leading citizens of Delaware made an offer to that State to build a highway through the entire State ata cost of $2,000,000 and not to be reimbursed except through the in- creased income of the counties and the State from the larger values cre ated by the construction of the road So confident was he, and the whole history of the byilding of good road Proves the correctness of his posi- tionythat there would come enhance values, by reason of greater profits to those Mving along the Mine; he was willing to stake $2,000,000 ana thus show his faith by his Throughout the entire wor ther aimply one of almost supreme not ly important as are enlarged rail- oad | the inéreased railroad facilities im the South ig so great that it. can scarcely be overstated, and yet. vital- road facilities, they are not more important than improved highways, The South js annually losing mil- lions of dollars through the higher cost of hauling over bad country. roads. This could be saved by the construction ‘of good roads. The men who, like the president of the great religious convention to whom I have referred, are preaching throughwout the South the gospel of good roads, are doing much for hu- manity and ‘their work is of far- reaching importance. No one can be, too enthusiastic on this subject; no one can make a mistake in con- centrating his work for the better- ment of his country upon the build- ing of good roads, Bays Urged to Enter State Corn] ° .

DANGER OF GOING BAREFOOTED The toliowing is sent The land- ‘park for publication by the hook- worm experts of the State Board of Health: As the season is now approaching | when all children desire to go bare- | footed, it is well that they —~ warned that this pleasure does n : | come without danger. Until recent | years we attached little importance | to ground-itch, or toe-itch, 80 = ‘monly seen among parefooted dren. who go about in the dew or | other damp places. We now know that ground-itch is the initial symp- tom of hookworm, disease and that it would not develop unless the foil had been polluted by geltorere from the disease. The myriads if é@ggs passing daily along with e excreta from their bodies develop @nto tiny microscopic worms too @mall to be seen. These, when al- Jowed to come in contact with the skin, burrow through, producing an attack of groundditch. The truth of this assertion can be easily proved by making a poultice of polluted soil and applying it for a few hours to some part of.the body. Always at the site of such a poutlice there develops the ground-itch rash if there be a a number of entering the skin. w "Moreover, it is known that about fifty days after the attack of ground itch the little worms that ; the skin will have found their way to the small intestine and there de- weloped to a size sufficient for them te be easily seen with the naked eye They are vearly one-half inch in tength: The medicine given to get rid of them, by acting as a polson, qauses them to be expelled from the body. By washing the stools through cheese cloth they may be col lected The harm they produce is now 00 well recognized to require discus- gion at this time. Suffice it to my that the blood is sapped, the body stunted, the vitality lowered. Thus, the Hfe and happiness of those dear est to us may be blasted. it is now time every one should know what és meant by ground-itch, hookworm | disease, polluted soil, and poor sani-| tary arrangements. Your State Board | of Health will be glad to supply this imformation free to any one who | will ask for it. The Landmark is publishing the} above as a matter of information. | Whatever the hookworm agitation | may accomplish in the way of im- | provement in genera) sanitary con-| ditions deserves commendation of all people, for radicc! changes in san- itary conditions, both in rural and urban communities, are much need- | ed. But we heve serious doubt that) there is any great danger to children ing barefooted. Fact is, we have abways been-uuder the impression, and are yet, that the average child fg benefited by <ccing barefooted and we further believe that going Barefooted would be beneficial to grown folks. in some casep at least. There has been some discussion im the papers of a vroposed revision ef ihe Ten Commandments, recently Buggested in England. This sug) gested revision was discussed in the Church Congress in Washington Inst week ard the following revision @f the commandments was offered by Rev. Geo. B. William Dougiass: 1. God epake these words and @aid: I am the Lord thy God; thou whalt have noue other gods but Me. 2. Thou shalt not make to thyself a@nhy greven image, to worship it and serve it. 8. Thou shait oot take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 4. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. Six days shalt thou labor &. Hovor thy father and thy moth er. : 6.

SenatorWilliam P..Frye,of Maine, who bas resigned as President pro tempore of.the Senate on account of lin health, is nearly 80 years old and has not been in good health for some time. At tne beginning of the-ex- tra session he let his colleagues know that he intended to “take it easy,” and with the high sense of propriety he has always shown the Senator from Maine reached the conclusion that in his present phys- teal condition he could-not -perform |the duties of the Senate's presiding officer pro vempore. Senator Frye has filled the office of President pro. tem. for 15 years. He has been acclaimed on both sides of the Senate chamber as uniformly fair and impartial in his rulings. Senator Frye has served longer in Congress than any other man in either brducn. He began service in the House 40 years ago. After 10 years iu the House and after being elected to his sixth term, with the prospect of being chosen Speaker of that body, he was suddenly pro- Moted to the Senate’ to succeed James G. Blaine when Mr. Blaine became Secretary of State in the cabinet ot President Garfield. He has served continuously in the Sen- ate for 30 years. There is an interesting story of how near Senator Frye came to be- ing nominated for Vice President on the ticket with Garfield in 1880, which,if it had come about, would probably bave made him President of the United States. After Gar- field had been nominated at Chi- cago and the leadere of the conven- tion were looking for a Vice Pregi- dent, they naturally turned to Mr. Blaine’s friends, and the choice fell upon Senator Frye. A telegram was sent to Mr. Frye at his home, in Lewiston, Maine, asking if he would accept the nomination for Vice President. Mr. Frye was away fishing and out of communication with his home, but Mrs. Frye had some decided opinions on the subject of Vice President, and, being unable to communicate with the Senator, she prompthy replied, signing his name Ito the telegram, that he would not accept the nomination. When the story was told later, showing how Mrs. Frye had probably prevented her husband from reaching theWhite House, the Senator diways insisted that Mrs. Frye had replied correct- ly to the tebegram, saying that he mever took any action in politics without consulting her and acting om her judgment. Bishop Kilgo Opposes Unity of Church. Richntond Times-Dispatch. Jnity of Christian churches, that goal so earnestly sought by many modern leaders, received positive dis couragement from Bishop Joha C: Kilgo, of North Carolina, in his sermon at Broad Street Methodist church yesterday morning. K is distinctly un-Christlike, he said, to attempt to bring all Christian peo ple under the banner of ecclesiasti- cism. Chriat, aaid Bishop Kilgo, did not intend that all men should be alike or develop fruit alike. He said that the flowers of the field are not all of the same color and shape, but Present myriad forms of beauty. So it is with Christian people. It ie intended that they display varying virtues and bring forth different fruit. “Shall the hand,” be asked, ‘‘ob- ject to performing its functions be- cause it is unlike the foot, or the foot because it is not like the hand? Shall the ear refuse to hear because it is not the tongue, or the tongue to speak because it is not the ear? if the human frame were all ear how would it speak? ' If it were all hand how would it walk?

Under the free list bill prepared by the House ways and means com- mittee, the farmers of the coun- try will be benefited to the extent o more than $8,000,000 by the remis- sion of duties upon the articles which they buy. The cotton growers of the South, it is estimated, will save at least $1,500,000 in the baling of their crop. It is further. estimated that for the farmers who grow pea- nuts, potatoes and kindred crops, which must be packed in gunny sacks, there will be a saving of jhome builders in the West will be | $20,000,000 better off because of |the free tumber which this bill pro- | vides, and while the Steel.

The road bond election takes place next Tuesday, and there is every Yeason to believe that the $400,000 of bonds will be voted by a substan- tial majority. While victory is as- sured, the friends of the bonds ‘gheuld leave no stone unturned. It fis especially important to get out the yote next Tuesday. Every regis- tered voter who fails to vote counts against the proposition.- See to it, then, that every voter who favors the bond issue casts his vote. The Landmark has urged this bond issue with all its might be- e@use it believes with all its Strength that it is not only best . for Iredell but a matter of the greatest importance to the county; and bde- Heving that if the bonds are voted the future will fully justify the con- tentions of the friends of the meas- ure, we make this last appeal for the bonds. Se ee —_<a//i The railroads have about suc- ceeded in putting the “two window” law of the Legislature out of com- mission. A member of the Legisla- ture tells The Landmark that the intention in passing the law re- quiring railroads to have two ticket windows-—~-one for the sale of tick- ets and one for exchange of mileage ——in all towns of 2,000 and more in- habitants, was to put the burden on the railroads to show where such Widows are not necessary, and if this is shown to the satisfaction of the corporation commission the place might be exempted. The com- *|limited to 6 per =e .township railroad bonds was thei r cent. That is to say, if the bonds couldn't be sold fo less the rate might be as high as 6. The road bond interest limit is 5 per cent. and more.cannot be charged. The Legislature can in- crease the rate of taxation for roads, of course, Under the present law the commissioners can increase it, but they cannot under the bond law. The Legislature did not order the assessment of property to be rais- ed. Mr. Houpe knows that real es- tate is reaseessed every four years; that this is the year for the reas sessment and that it would have been made if the Legislature had not met All the Legislature did wag to change in some measure the machinery of assessment, If the assessors in each towuship are for the bonds it shows their good judgment,but there is no evidence to show that this was considéred in their appointment. The statement that Mooresville and Statesville people can add the increased cost to them to the con- sumer is demaggguery. Of course every producer of any sort considers thewost of an article produced when he goes to sell it, byt’ as we are already pay!ug the road tax there is no reason to increase charges. Moreover, Mr. Houpe doesn’t him- self believe that the lawyers and doctors, merchants and manufactur- ers will inc«rease prices if the bonds are voted. Butif that were true, what prevents the farmer from in- creasing the price of what he has to sell? Wihy does Mr. Houpe, for instance,tax the poortown consumer 20 to 25 cents for hams that used to sellat 12% cents? The appeal to class prejudice and the talk about bosses, etc., is rot. , ‘ Representatives of Statesville have never said the road bonds wouldn’t benefit the town, They. have said, probably, that they will benefit the country more. But whatever bene- fits the country benefits the town and town people, realizing the bene- fits of modern im; ements, are al- ways anxious to fo rd the move- aM MR et on iit Moca.

The road bond issue has the right of way just nowin this gection and the for a big majority for the bonds grows brighter every day. Conservative and well-informed men believe Olin township will vote more {than four to one for the bonds. Two weeks ago my guess was that the county would. vote two to one for the bonds. I believe now the yote Lenoir News. The matter of controversy be tween Mr. J, W. ©urtis [former clerk of Caldwell Superior Court] and the county commissionerg over. the amounts collected by himin half fees was adjusted by compromise last Monday. Mr. McCall, who was ap- pointed to go over and rétax the bills of cost made by’ Mr. Curtis, found, according to the latest fee bill, that he had charged and col- lected $405 more than was properly due him. Mr, Squires, the county attorney, contended that $575 had been thus collected, according to his ment.

C. Brown, of the | cerporation commission and State tax’ commission, said a few days ago: “I hear that it is being talked in some counties that the new law is for the purpose of raising land val- ues especially and to increase the at its true value in money, This is What our constitution provides, and all of our former laws have required It is no | | not | nor does justice re-|€0 of haudliag anything on these this very same provision. pew innovation or new burden laid upon our people; the law does contemplate, jed by taxes. The new law only requires |in that evening or property to be assessed for taxation | ance. | Mr. Houpe was for a time quite | active in a sidewalk and back lot | campaign in Statesville, but after | striking a suag or two he lost in- terest. Mr.Houpe asks that it be said that.) he intended his article for Tuesday’s| Paper; that he didn’t intend to wait until the last issue before the elec- | tion. We give him the benefit of | this statement, but must say that | he had a poor way of showing that he wanted it in the paper earlier. | When the campaign first opened he | asked for a columin of space to write an article against the bonds and was’ told to send in the article. The next heard of Mr. Houpe he was pro claiming on the street that The |Landmark wouldn’t publish articles | against the bonds, which statement |} he knew was not true when he mac@ it. “Last Moviday the office was ask*> ‘phone if an artiche sent next morning could get-in Tuesday’s paper. The answer was no.

TALK NO. 10. Judge Boyd has decided that the We are uow at the end of a campaign that for activity and interest is without a parallel in the history of the good old county of Iredell. The question at issue—GOOD ROADS—is so vital to every map, woman and child in this county that it has naturally aroused deep interest and much en- thusiasm. The further along we get in this campaign that much more are the eyes of our people being thor- oughly opened to the absolute necessity cf Fredell county building promptly a complete system of good roads, or get about 30 years behind our sister coun- ties who have built and will continue to build good roads. We as a people, to keep in touch with modern progress, must. adopt modern, scientific and econom- ic methods to be in line with the development going on constantly around "9 There is no public measure that should be so close to the hearts of the people and certainly noth- ing thatcan add to their happiness, wealth and prosperity so much as good rvads—and then re- member the good roads are built not just for our generation—but for your children and grandchil- dren; in fact, FOR ALL TIME. We have only to look around us at the other coun- ties in North Carolina who have constructed good roads to see whether they have been a success. There is not a single county in the State that has voted bonds for good roads who would be willing under any circumstances to go back to the old’muda- dy kind, that we in Iredell know all about. A system of good roads THROUGHOUT Iredell coun- ty, such as is planned, will immensely add to the value of all land, ESPECIALLY FARMING LAND, thereby greatly increasing the wealth and prosper- ity of our people, and willeventually make Iredell one of the richest counties in North Carolina. The proposed Bond Bill will give us 150 MILES OR MORE OF GOOD ROADS in the next five years, . SRE oe 7 oe 2 SOP eee ne eae Fe nD AA te -RAMSEY-BOWLES-MORRISON CO. Our Ostrich Plume Sale!

Mr. A. Clayton Sharpe Contends That it Is, But the Law and thr Facts’ Are Against Him. To the Editor of The Landmark: Some of your correspondents on roads, speakers-and The Landmark take the ground that under the law creating the chain gang the commis- sioners have the power to levy an un- limited tax, which I deny, use section 1359 of said law specifies a jal cause, to-wit: the support of e chain gang, which does not ex- ceed $12,000 per annum, I well re- member when the commissioners concluded to buy the necessary ma chinery and commenced to build ma; cadam roads that there was stron opposition to the increase of the roa tax from 15 to 23 1-3 cents on the $100, on the ground that they had no right to go beyond 15 cents, as that raised a saivicient amount to bear the i penses of the chain gang, an was the limit of the law. Shhat oO sition came largely from Mooresville. H. C. Flam, of River Hill, and J. F.

It was a dinner pre-| pared for taste and wholesomeness | rather than style, one of the kind | that a man with a good appetite is | pleased to behold when he enters the dining room. The guests departed wishing Mr Elam 55 more years of the best this world can offer. The young people of the upper grades of the graded school and their teachers “had a good time”’ at the school Friday night when tbe members of the ninth grade enter- tained in honor of the tenth—the| graduates.

This paper has not said a word on this question that it does not believe to be true. Mr. Sharpe is simply mistaken about his ‘facts. The Iredell chain gang was \first established by a special act for this county, which permitted a_ tax levy of 15 cents. Afterward the Leg- lislature passed a general act under MR. JAS. M. BROWN.

Washinzton Dispatch to Raleigh News and Observer. There are three mills in North Car- olina, one that manufactures cotton bagging and two others that manufac- ture burlap, which are figuring very ;much in the mail of the members of the North Carolina dele jnow. It is claimed that the passage |of the farmers’ free list bill will de- | stroy all of these manufacturing estab- | lishments, one of which is located at | Henderson and one at Wilmington. Some people in North Carolina | would have the ten Congressmen and itwo Senators vote for the benefit of ithe three manufacturing concerns as |against the interests of the thousands |of farmers in the State, who will get | their cotton bagging free of cost if the |farmers’ free list bifl passes Congress. \It is the old peer an argument that one hears all the time. ote for the interests of two or three people and |swat the masses whoare the consum- | ers.

The legal battle against the ‘for- est reserves of the West in particu- lar and conservation by the. Federal general was lost today in the Su- preme Court of the United States, That tribunal not only upheld the constitutionality of the establishment of the vast reserves for any na- tional and public purpose, but_ it settled once for all that the Feder- al govegument and not the States may eay how the reserves shall be used, ; The immediate results Of the con- cluston of the court are that Fred. Light, a prominent Colorado cattle. man, will remain enjoined from al- lowing his cattle to graze on the Holy Cnoss forest. reserve in Colora- do and that Pierre Grimaud, J. P. Carajous and Amtonio Inda,. Califo:- nia sheepmen, must answer to thé indictment changing them with graz- ing sheep on the Sierra forest _re- serve without a permit, in viobation’ of regulation 45 of the Secretary of Agriculture and the statute of Congress of 1891, * The subject was dealt with in two opinions delivered by Justice Lamar. The entire court concurred. The ba- sic principle upon which he proceed- ed was that “the nation is an owner and has made Congress the princi- pal agent to dispose of its property.” The constitutionality of the vast forest reservations of the far West and the validity of the modem con- servation policy were raised early in thia case in tue Circuit Court o* the United States for the district of Colorado. The United States government had brought suit to enjoin Fred. Light, a promiient Colorado cattle- man, from causmg or pe-witting his cattle to trespass upon the Holy Cross forest reserve in Col- orado. A stubborn contest arose and amung the other defenses put forth by Light, was the one that the formation of the Holy Cross re serve, withcut the consent of the State of Colorado, was unconstitu- tional. As the other vast reserves of the West had been formed by a similar process of Federal action, in withdrawing public land from en- try,the argument applied by analogy to chem. The injunction was grant- cd and an appeal taken to the Su- preme Court of the UnitedStates. Throughout the contest the Fed- eral government claimed that when Light turned his cattle onto his ranch, adjoining the forest reserve, they followed well defined cattle trails, in order to get grass and water,directly to the reserve where there existed superior grass and wa- ter supply. Such a practice, the govcornment contended, was tanta- mount in law to Light driving the catthe onto the reserve. The defense met the governmnt With several arguments. In the fi GooD WORD FOR THE SOUTH. This Section Will Have More’ Sway in Ongress Than Since 1860. Leslie’s Magazine, In the makg-up of the committees of the House of « atives, the political ascendaney of the South is shown in a striking way. Democrats have a majority of 68 in that chamber and,of course,were entitled to the leading places on its committees. Of the chairman- ships of the important committees o that chamber,Southern members hold! 28 and those of the rest of the country have only seven. If Missouri which was a slave State in 1860, be counted as part of the South, that section also holds the Speaker, and, in the present aspect of affairs, he is one of the most promising of all the presidential possibilities of his party for 1912. But in giving the South three-fourths of the choice places on the House com- mittees, nobody will aécuse the dom- inant party inythat chamber of any unjust partiality toward. Dixie. The great bulk of the Democratic voters in Senate and House comes from the South. That section furnishes prac- tically all the electoral votes . which Democratic presidential candidates have been receiving in recent can- vasses, Through evil and good report the Southern States cling to the Dem- ocratic party. Although the South disliked Bryan, it gave him a prac ticaMy solid vote in three cam- paigns. With the possible exception of three States, the South will un- doubtedly give its electoral vote to che Democratic presidential can- didate of 1912, whoever he may be. Moreover, the South holds the brains as well as the bulk of the Democrat ic party. In the Senate, Raynor of Maryland, Simmons of North Caro- lina, Tillman of South Carolina, Ba- cou of Georgia, Foster of Alabama, and Hailey and Culbertson of Tex- as, are the leading spirits in their party in that chamber. In the House, Underwood of Alabama, the chairman of ways and means com- niittee; Henry of Texas, the head of the committee on rules; Clayton of Alabama, the chairman of the judiciary committee; Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the committee | on inter-State and foreign commerce| and Hay cf Virginia, chairman of the military affairs committee are among the ablest and most promi- nent men in their chamber. If we call Missouri a Southern State, we must concede to the South! the possession of one of the finest | orators and most picturesque per- sonages of recent times. This is the Speaker, Champ Clark. The j South eémphatically deserves the | recognition which it has received in | the organization of the House com- | mittees, Moreover, the South will | undoubtedly have more sway in th | Democratic national convention of 1912 than it has had in any similar | gathering since 1860.

If it was Meant to apply to the United States. it wa: argued by the government that the law was unconstitutional. One of | the sharp issues of the case was centered on this point. So widespread was the interest | in the case, and go vital the ques- tions involved, that the State of) Colorado threw itself into the con-| test. Attorney General was authorized to assist Light in fighting the Federal government He did so. The Attorney General empha- sized the argument before the Su- preme Court that no provision of the constitution empowered the Fed- eral government to “conserve the national resources,”’ by providing for a continuing timber supply, regulat- ing the flow of streams and preserv- ing power sites from being monop- olized. He urged that the with- drawal of such large tracts of land, said to be one-fifth of the entire area of Colorado, was the denial of equality with the older States which had been allowed to exercise dominion over all the territory with- in their boundaries.

This hole is five and 20 feet deep, and the diggers, apparently, did not cease their labor until water was struck. Another hole but not so large and deep, was found on Mr. Odiom’s place two or three weeks ago. It is said that a fakir passed through this section some time ago, selling magnets war- ranted to locate gold, and it is sup- posed that the suckers who bought the magnets are digging the holes.

A man in Connecticut gave 4 doctor, a specialist in catarrh, $50 to cure him of this common, yet Most obnoxious, disease. The specialist gave him a bottle of medicine and told him to uee it. The fool took the medicine home, took one dose, put it on a shelf and made no further effort to follow in- structions. Three months later, with the med- icine still on the shelf, he told a friend that the specialist was a fake; that he had paid him $50 and etill had catarrh. HYOMEI (pronounce it High- o-me) won't cure catarrh if you don't breathe it; it will if you breathe it regularly. Furthermore, you don’t need to give a catarrh specialist $50 to cure you of catarrh, for the specialist is yet to be born who can write a better prescriptien than HYOMEI. The Statesvide Drug Co. and druggists everywhere guarantee HY- OMEI to cure catarrh or money back. A complete outfit, which consists of a bottle of HYOMEI, a bard rub- ber fnhaler and aimple instructions for use, costs only $1.00.

Later he made money as a house mover, but not untid he converted two ordinary railway coaches into @beeping cars did George Pullman become known to the world. Hig sleeping cars were successful, and @o, in 1863, he built ‘““The Pioneer” at a cost of $18,000. It was the first Pallmean car. In 1867 he organized the Pullman Company, of which he was president. The company started out with a capital of $1,250,000. To day the capitalization of the same company is $120,000,000. No new capital has been supplied. Only earnings have been added to the original capital. | Original stockholders who have re- tained their shares until the prese have the satisfaction of knowing that each share, valued at $1,000 at the} outset, is now worth on the market $100,000. Add tothisthe enormous cash dividends which have been paid om since 1867 and it will be seen that each Pullman share has mean a goodly fortune to the holder. A cash dividend of 8 per cent. is paid on the shares, and Jast year $20,-| 000,000 was distributed in dividenda, The average net eaming of a Pulb Maan car per day is $7.62. As the company operates 5,283 cars, the daiby net earnings amounts to the pitiful pittance of $40,256.46. There are Only three railway systemsin the United States on which its cars do not run. | These figures are derived from the first report that the Pullman Company has made in its 44 years | of existence.

A ‘phone message had pre- ceded the officers to the section where the stills were located, how- ever, and the operators had = quilt work and gone into hiding when the raiders arrived. The officers Say it is almost impossible to catch the blockaders in the act of making the booze in sections where there ure ‘shone lines. There has been much complaint of the operations of the moonshin- ers in the Bear Creek section of Stanly recently and “the revenuers”’ are trying to put a stop to. the businesss.

John Ludwig, a wealthy citizen’ of Salisbury and an alderman of big town, is to be tried in the courte of Iredell on charges of re- tailing Mquor. His case is an extra- ordinary one and one of the most’ interesting of its kind the Iredell officers have ever had to deal with. } Ludwig will hereafter be known to the officers as “the auto tiger,” for he is charged with having con- ducted a blind tiger from his big4 automobile.

Going the woods the officers saw the ma- chine moving abong a Mithe nanrow road some distance away. About the same time the driver of the ma-| chine saw the officers and he made an attempt to speed away. The offi- cer gave chase and as the road was very rough they were not long iny overtaking the machine, and . as they rode up the owner and driver of the car, John Ludwig, saoenl that he could not get away, soo the machine and allowed the officer# During the chase the officers saw Ludwig throw < «1 sack fromthe machine and when ' Was examined it wag found to tain 20 pint bottles filled with booze, The officers then turned their at- tention to a search ct the machine anid a larger cmount of the fluid was found stored under the rear} Seat of the car,a total amount of 72.

Campbell had _ received three votes and Dr. R. A. Campbell two, decliring the fromer duly elect- ed county physician. It was: suggested on behalf of Dr. R. A. Campbell that..the facts be presented by agreement to Judge Long for his decision, but Mr. Tur- ner declined to consent to this ar- rangement. He said Dr. A. Camp- belk had been elected and it was up to the other side to bring proceed- ings to oust him. The minutes wer written out and thus the matter stands. The contention in behalf of Dr. R. A. Campbell is (1) that Mr. Grier and not Mr. Caldwell is a member of the health board and (2) that Mr. Mills has no right to vote except as chairman and in case of a tie. It is doubtful if a test te made in the courts but if the case goee up it will present an inter- esting question of law. In addition to a county health officer the board was required to elect a quarantine officer, who shall county, but when they finished with the county physician they wiped the perspiration off their faces and ad- journed. They had had business enough for one day. Former Statesville Man Alteempted Suicide. By last night’s mail The Land- mark received a clipping from the Inland Herald, of Spokane, Wash., telling of_the attempted suicide of Henry H.

In part she said: “We are glad of the pwivilege to have you meet with us and we shall enjoy your sessions. This brief time we shall be together should be val- uable. On behalf of our society I extend to you a warm-hearted wel- ome and bid you God Speed.” Mrs. H. K. Boyer very fittingly She said that the fact that she was the last and the least of the speak- ers did net argue that her welcome was not just as strong. “You are welcome, thrice welcome. We are greatly interested and gratified by your coming, and we hope your visit will not only be pleasant but help- ful as well. It gives me peouliar Pleasure to welcome you for the For- eign Mission Society, for never be- fore has the bond of the two so- cieties been stronger. I hope they will soon be one.”’ Mrs. Boyer told the audience a little church secret. She said that when preparations for the meeting were being made, Mrs. J. H. White, the leader in the work, wanted about a half dozen addrespes of welcome, including one by the mayor of the town. At this sugges- tion Rev. Mr. Turner threw up his hands and exclaimed “Why Mrs. White! That will never do; they will think they are welcome sure enough.” With admirable grace and dignity Mrs. Piato Durham, of Concord, re- sponded to the addresses of welcome for the conference. After asguring the Broad Street ladies that their cordtality and hospitality was highly appreciated, Mrs. Durham explain- ed that the visitors were not surpris ed at the pleasing manner in which they were received and were being eutertained,for they knew what to ex pect when they came to Statesville, and continuing she said, ‘‘We have No apologies to make for our cause Or our representatives.’”’ Telling of the objects and aims of the society Mrs. Durham declared that it was Proving equal to the emergencies of this new era; this year of new things and advancement. Five year ago the attendiance at the annual meeting was not large and the pres- ence here of such a barge delegation shows progress in the work. Following Mrs. Durham’s address Mrs. T. F. Marr, of Winston, the president of the society, expr her pleasure and gratification at the large attendance and the cordi- ality of Statesville Methodism, and extended an invitation to the public to attend all seseions of the con- ference. ‘‘While we are here for pleasuré, we are especially here for work,’ said the president. After the benediction an informal aid visitors in the Sunday selmol With an audience which filled the af the ehurch an Sun eal det ered the annual sermon tothe confer ence Sunday morning. He chose ag his text a portion of the second verse of the third chapter of Exodus: “Behold the bush burned with fire and the bush was not consumed,” the words heand by Moses when called hy God to return to Kgypt, ang the bopic of the sermon was “The Glory of the Divine Presence.” Mr. ‘Turner gaid that he chose thia subject because the eccasion manded a message which will help the delegates when they get back into their every day life. He said, in part, that we look on these con- ferences as times of great inspir- ation, when we hear the good re- ports and discussions and gain im- spiration which should hélp through- out the year. The fact that you came to discuss, plan and pray is for this church a great and abiding blessing. Alf contribute to wealth in Christian experience. But how will it be with you when you get back into the drudgery of dally Nfe, with your numerous daily duties to be performed? Will conference help you then? What can I carry away from conference is truly the most important thing. This ocour- rence in the life of Moses was extra~ ordinary because the fire burned a. bush Moses had seen many times be- fore. As God spoke Moses began to think that if I am to take the Children of Israet out of Egypt there will be many difficulties, and times when I will long to be back with my father-in-law. God assured Moses that in the commonest places He is pres- ent. God to bim was a constantly inspiring presence. Returning to the question of how to take the inapiration of the confer- ence home,Mr. Turner told hear- ers to regard the opportunity of the hour to see just how we may be assured of the presence and blessing of God. I believe, said he, that it is God’s plan that in the commonest experiences we should always be con~ scious of His presence. In the very common experiences of life we may find God and be glad, As you and I get back into these common expe~ riences of life God would have you and me see the divine halo around our heads, Isn't it our greatest. need to have the divine dleesing of God? You can see the halo around the little baby but do you see the halo around the mischievous boy. We ought to see it around the heads of the young people everywhere. I be- eve if our eyea had been touched by God's grace we would see the halo around every head. Is your ministry to be‘to the idle rich and the people of your own olase? intended. that we minister to /the comMonest Man. Before we can see the. divine halo around\the common and outcasts we must have thé eye of Christ. And if our eyes are washed with the peace of Obrist We should algo see the halo around our. own life.

Wire fences have solved the problem and now they are burning and neaflyall pastures are enclosed with | two or three strands of barbed wire. Nowadays a farmer would not use rails to make a new pasture if he had plenty. It takes too much time handling the rails when a fair- sized pasture can be fenced in a day or less with wire. Mr. H. C. Griffin, of east Monroe township, has this season sold on the Monroe market a number of loads of stove woodcut to short lengths from old | rails off his farm. He says these old rails have sold for enough to place two or more wire fences around the flelds they originally enclosed, | and had the timber from which the | rails were cut been left standing it | would have been of great value} now, Years ago when rail splitting | was-in vogue no tree was considered! too good to fell and make rails. | A Master Apple Tree in Wilkes. | Wilkesboro Patriot. | Mesers.

I think few of ourpoets have seen the presence of God in the common places, though it is in these common places God delights to dwell. We see the divine presence in work and we see the divine in rest. Oh, the blessing of the quiet, prayerful rest and contemplation. There is such a thimg as being so energetic and active in the work that we shall neglect the blessing of standing still and seeing the sal- vation of God. Another common- place of life is death. The divine halo of God’s glory rests equally up- on this common experience of death. And we should also see the divine halo of Jehovah in our environment. One of the great blessings of — life is knowing that I am in the place where God placed me. As you go back to your commen places, say, *‘O, God, grant me your. presence.” The sermon was one of inspiration and helpfulness. The brief outline given by no means does it justice. The missionary address Sunday evening by Mrs. James Atkins, ‘wife of Bishop Atkins,was an excellent one, full of information and instruc- tion and highly entertaining because of the pleasing manner in which it was delivered. She spoke with ease and eomposure and so distinct- ly that all could hear. “Look in any direction,’ said she in begin- ning,” and you see the yjsion of nead re. Turn not away from this need, but enter into the great privilege of service.” Mrs. Atkins then called attention to the fact that only 2,000 out of the 50,- 000 women of the Western North Carolina Methodist Conference are engaged in the society mission work and she urged that the 48,000 join the society and lwelp the present Members meet the great opportuni- ties of the day. If we keep the faith we must believe in and have missions. The speaker then went into detaile about the Home Mission work of the Church in the South ang West, giving facts and figures about the schools and homes for the foreign elements and the great foreedte-ait down inthe. middle of a sentence. The unification com- mittee made its report at this see ,;sion and the report was accepted. The report, however, is not 60 be | apect made public unéi) after the annual meeting of the Foreigu- Mission So- clety,which will be held inLexington the first week in Jume, About an hour was given to the discussion of the report before its adoption. The session was opened with devotional service by Mrs. G. C. Brinkman, of Monroe, and closed with devotional service by Miss Blackwell. The afternoon session was opened with devotional services conducted by Mise Nell Rogers, of Greensboro, and closed with service by Miss Blackwell. The report of the various committees, with the exception of the nomination committee, were pass ed op at this session. The vote on the next méeting place was also taken at this time. The invitations of Asheville and Monroe were con- sidered and that of Monroe was ac- cepted. Monday evening's seasion was given to the consideration of city missions and an educational address by Prof. C. H. Trowbridge, of Bre- vard Institute. Mise Blackwell gave a very jnteresting account of her mission work in Winston and the report of Miss JosephineGuffin, city missionary at Asheville, was read by Mrs, Stone, of Asheville, Mies Guffin not being present. In his address Prof. Trowbridge spoke particularly of the work of Brevard Institute, of which he is the capable head. This School is under the care of the Home Mission Society and the socie- ty is justly proud of it. Kt is an excellent school] where 200 students, principally girls, are recedving in- struction in high school) work, mu- sic, commercial branches, dress-mak- ing, millinery, cooking, and agricul- tural pursuits.

Kitchin’s Fine Address—Other Events of the Day. ae _ Doubtless a larger cro 8 never ae ed the Memorial Day exercises in Statesville and it is doubtful if the immense crowd ever heard a better memorial address than that delivered Wednesday by Hon. W. W. Kitchin, Governor of North Carolina. After being _ fit- tingly introduced by Mayor L. C. Caldwellithe Governor began his ad- drees in the court house to an au- dience that taxed the standing ca- pacity of the auditorium, and yet the hundreds on outskirts who de- sired to hear the address continued to push and shove about the doors until the Governor took notice of it and heartily agreed to the sugges tion that the crowd move outside apd hear the addres» in the open air. Within a few minutes the great mase of people in the court house had joined those on the Out- side and when all had congregated on the lawn in rear of the court house, beneath the ehade of the beautiful elms, the speaker took hia stand on the porch of the Aw office buiéding and delivered his masterful address. In beginning Governor Kitchin eaid that he had expected to see a barge crowd bere but he did not expect every man, woman and child in the county to come out to pear him. He said that he had eeldom spoken to a larger audience and|when the sad daye came and Lee’s|live in the present, love the past the presence and interest of so Many army made the last stand,North Oar- | was highly appreciated.

If you did deeds of valor and feats which won the admiration of the world we ought and we do lionor you, veterans, always. Your courage and conduct had the praise of the world; you set new records of valor and endurance, and to 80 many of these fields will historiang ever point as examples of such. KH was you who made Lee have first place among Euglish speaking gen- erals—your enduravce and fidelity along with his. ut it was not written in the bocks that we should succeed.

Our hearts go out to those who risk their lives for others. Because you veterans were with them we will ever honor you—your fame will never die.

Dunlap, of Bethany jtowuship, recently found in a news- | Daper the following notice of inter- |est to many Iredell people: | “Captain Lee Hall died at San | Antonio, Texas, on March 17th. He was always interested in the ranch business, but he was famous as a Texas ranger. Captain Hall was Atrived in Texas in 1879, where he |s00n became at home on the Mex- jean border, where he was a terror to rustlers.”’ 5 Capt. Hall was a son of Dr. Jas. }K. Halt and was born on what is | known as the old Rumple place, in | Bethany township. Dr. Hall moved Mexican war and the admission of |travagance and destruction prevaii- Texag into the Union. taught secession and the people of the South believed with Jefferson. Thosa in North {‘»rosina who oppos- ed the secession were against it necause they considered ita blunder, not because the State had no right to secede. But why give explena- tions? Why should a. proud State get on his knees and undertake to explain why she did something? Let her actions tell. It was the lw- abiding citizenship of the State and not rioters and mobs who decided the question of secession im open couventioas. It was patriotism and s.atesmanship and deliberation calm and steady that created the Confederacy. Traitors had no part in it and traitors shed no tears at the death. And when at last the Confedenacy was laid away with the things that were no trials for treason were ever held. Vengeance and malice were not lacking, but the North knew that no criminal in- spired those motives. The world knew that Lincoln and Grant would not claim for themselves any more patriotic motives than Davis and Lee. You whd think your ancestors were wrong are mistaken. After oth- er States had secedied North Caroli- na voted in convention against it. Lincoln then called for troops from North Carolina to coerce her ais ter States and the Governor of this State palled a convention. By this timeVirginia had seceded and North Carolina was up against whether | ghe should join her sisters or give soldiers to conquer them, and I am 60 glad the old State acted the part of a man and joined the Confeder- acy. NorthOaroljna knew theNorth out-weighed the South in men and material; that the North had un- measured resouncea,.a navy and re- lations with the whole world; and she also knew that the resources of theConfederacy were limited and that the new government could not equal the old. But great States in decid- ing questions of duty and honor do not bow to wealth and power. No, this good State didn’t take that step lightly—ehe followed her Might and @uty and declared the bonds be- tween North Carolina and the United States forever dimotved. Yes, my countrymen,with sword and bal) the Jefferson |ed and the carpetbagger and scala- Weg were in the land; crime was rampant. The name of theKu-Klux became a terror, and many of our | best citizens were thrown into jaih, charged with no crime. Here the speaker told of how Kirk and Hol- den bad many Carolita soldiers. im- prisoned and subjected to punish- ment before they were fimally re- leased at Salisbury through habeas corpus proceedings in the Federal courts, and how the next Legislature impeached Governor Holden. All these things are unpleasant to re- late, said the speaker, but they are history. Through all these strenuous times coutinued the Governor, it was on the arms of the eobdier the women and children leanéd and they found their faith well placed. After the war. the leaders in the Confeder- acy were still: followed, and now there are Many monuments in hon- or of the Confederacy and her de- fenders, and it is known that no one ever built monuments to unworthy causes and men. I trust that the Story of the Confederacy will itn- spire the children. Veterans, you don’t need these monuments; there will ever be living monuments to- you. Fourteen hundrel thousand Northern soldiers have been on the Untoa pension itsts siiuce the war and every one of them took oath that you either wounved him or made him sick Let me say in passing that while North Carccina is still poor when measured by tax values, she is now making greater progres: than ever before and no State ever gave pensions to her eoldiersa with a better apirit I want to gee these pensions increased wnti! every vet- eran can have every comfort. The Governor then paid the wo- men of the Confederacy a beautiful and deserved tribute. She gave her time, talent aud energy and her all’ to the cavse; it was she who suffered the long watches. The wolf of want prowled around her door but she shrank not; poverty prevailed but she quailed not; hor rible hunger pierced her and her littte ones; all honor and praise to her.. When the soldier returned to his plow it was the woman who held his hands to the plow. It le the nal made the opening prayer and | when the Governor. concluded Rev. | Harold Turner pronounced the bene-! diction and the procession was im- } mediately formed: in front of the} court house, under command of Capt| P. C.

In the procession | were three bands,the military com- | pany, a large company of vetreans, | two companies of Children of the | Confederacy, Daughters of the Oon- | federacy, vehicles and footmen. In | the speaker's carriage were Gov. | Kitchin, Mayor Caldwel? and Mr. J. | B. Armfield. The three bands were the Old North State Band,theStates- ville Mechanics’ Band and the Troutman Cornet Band, and the mu- sie furnished was good. Never be- fore has there been so many _in- struments bere for such an Occasion Tne Qld North State Band played a funeral dinge as the procession moved to the cemetery and after reaching the cemetery the two States ville bands joined and played to- gether. Before and after the exer- clses the bands played at different Places about the Square and the court house. Following the exercises at the cemetery the Governor and party,the Confederate Veterans, the members of bands and a few others—a total of probably 250—-were served a sumptuous dinner by th Daughters of the Confederacy in the Mott building, on west Broad street. The dinner was one of the most elaborate Public dinners ever served here—it was by no means a typical public dinner for there: was a variety of good things to eat and plenty of it —meats, cake, pickles, cheese, etc., | was served along with it. The din- ner was well prepared and it is needless to say that it was thor- oughly enjoyed. A special table was Prepared for the Governor, Maj. W. A. Graham, Adjutant General Leins- ter, Chief Marshal Carlton, Mayor Cabdwell and Mr. J. B. Armfield.

Ev- ery person who owns or keeps a dog must return same for taxation, 4s ether property is listed, and a tax of $1 is levied on each dog over six months old. Failure to list the dogs is 2 misdemeanor. The dog tax will be “held as a fund to reimburse any person or persons who may have sustained loss by reason of dogs damaging their stock, at the ®ame price such property was listed for taxation,to be determined by the gounty commissioners upon sufficient evidence.” Any surplus remaining after the damage is paid will be ‘applied to the road fund. * s * Col. Jo. Reece, of the Greensboro Record, who is always worrying about something to drink—and it @hay be water or lemonade—wants to know what’s the good of a mint patch, seeing there is nothing to put mint in. Thereupon his friend and former colleague, Mr. J. W. Al- bright, of Asheville, sent him word that mint put in ice tea makes the Tinest drink ever. All of which shows that necessity is the mother ef invention. Having no other use for the mint Col. Abbright ex- perimented with ice. tea and hence his talk. But the suggestion doesn’t satisfy Col. Reece. He says any man who will drink ice tea ought ‘to have a guardian and that it is a shame to spoil good mint by putting it In such stuff. s * s Some of the anti-bond advocates in the recent campaign thought the new registration was unfair.

William Morrison, who settled. on Third creek in 1748 or 1750 and built the Morrison mill, claimed to have been the first white inhabitant in his vicinity. There were set- tlers in south Lredell at an earlier date. kn 1740 Patrick Gracey built a cabin and entered a section of land on the headwaters of Back creek, three miles east of Moores- ville, and brought his wife, and they ended their days in their fron- tier home many years afterwards. This was Bladen county at that time. Anson county was made from Bladen in 1749, Rowan from Anson in 1753, Mecklenburg in 1762. It is not known from whom Pat- rick Gracey obtained his hand grant. Lord Granville did mot sell any lands dutil after 1744. It ia not. certainly known what Mrs. Gracey’s maiden pame was, but it is sup- posed to have been Barnet. Patrick Gracey was a Preabyterian. Tradi- tion saya that he brought a church certificate from Ireland and it is presumed that he wes a charter member of Centre church, although Centre church had not been organ- ized at that time. Rocky River was the nearest organized church in 1740 He was a mewber of Centre church when he died Patrick Gracey was born in the year 1700, died in Au- gust, 1810, is buried at Centre church and has a tombstone giving age—110—and date of death.. He was 81 years old when Cornwallis passed from Cowan's ford to Salis. bury. His descendanta think that he had three sons in the American} army. The name of onee was Robert, the names of the others are not remembered. He had at beast two daughters.

INSURRECTOS. ‘TAKE. . JUARRZ. var in Mexico Again on Strong a er Than Ever. Kl Paso,.Texas, Dispatch, 9th. ; A second battle was fought at Ju- arez across the Rio Grande today, but without result, Tonight both Federals and insurrectosare resting ou their arms, i to resume the battle at daybreak. At least five persone have been killed on-the American side of the line since the skirmishing began yes- terday and about 15 - have been wounded, while the loss on the bat- tlefield ig variously estimated. at from 30 to 60. dead on both sides. and:about 75 to 100 wounded. Fifteen insurrectos wounded al- ready have been brought to the American side, but more are be- lieved to be lying far Within the town. General Navarro at 7 6’clock tonight agreed to stop the firing while the insurrecto wounded were removed. The Federals have ade- Quate medical facilities and are car- ing for thetr wounded within the town. ; All day the battle raged, the in- Surrectos swarming through the streets of Juarez and’ mee the heavy fire of the Federale with an equally vigorous volley of musketry. The rebels claim the town tonight. While it is true that they actually control more city territory than do the Federals, the position of the government forces is so well for- tified that it is well-nigh impregna- ble. Francisco J. Madero, Jr, late to- vlght issued a statement explaining the causes of the attack on Juarez and the conflicting interpretations which have been put on his leader- ship. He attributes the attack prin- cipatly to the vague promises of President Diaz in his manifesto, as Opposed to the precise promises of révolutionists to tine Federal gov- €rument, The ineurrectos kept up the fight ‘Wednesday and the city finally eur- rendered.

It is a medicated salve which is applied externally. Heat causes it to giye off vapors which the patient inhales. Thus it acts externally by means of absorption'and surface stimulation and internally through the medicated vapors which go directly “© to the seat of the trouble. This method of treatment conforms with the newest idea in medical science, being drugiess. It acts quicker than internal medi- cation or poultices and lipniments and has no effect whatever on the stomach, a very important consideration in treating children. With a liberal supply of ‘‘VICK’S’’ in the house, the sudden attack of Croup has no dread, no matter when, how sudden or how fierce its onslaught. Always see that your supply is liberal. Being a medicated antiseptic salve it also has many household uses for burns, cuts, sores, chaps, etc. . All druggists have or can get it for you.

That the requirements of the cotton goods industry necessitates the im- portation of approximately 60,000,000 unds of Egyptian cotton, costing 16,000,000, is probably unknown to the majority of readers, who read of the enormous crops of cotton produc- ed in our Southern States and learn that during the last seven months all records have been broken and prac- tically $500,000,000 worth of that sta- ple has been exported.

OOSTS BUT A TRIFLE TO CURH : OATARRH. How many readers of The Land- mark know that in Inland Australia where the mightiest of eucalyptug trees grow in abundance, that there is no consumption, catarrh or dis eases of the respiratory tract. The’ refreshing balsam thrown out by these trees fills the air and is breathed into the lungs’ by the Inhabitants and all germ life is de- etroyed. If you have catarrh you cannot go to Inland Australia except at great expense, but you can breathe right in your home the same pleas ant, soothing, healing, germ-killing air as yow would breathe if you were living in the eucalyptus dis trict of Australia. , Just breathe HYOMEI; it {s.made from Australian eucalyptus and scientifically combined with thymol and other antiseptics employed in the Listerian system. Pour a few drops of HYOMEI in the inhaler and breathe it, and as it pasBes over the catarrh-infected membrane, it kills the germs and heals the raw, inflamted surface. HYOMEI is guaranteed to cure eatarrh, coughs, colds, croup and gore throat or money back. Com- plete outfit, inchuding inhaler, $1.00. Extra bottlhes of HYOMEI cost but 50 cents.

Investigating the Postoffice Depa:t- ment. ] In 1902 President Roosevelt issued | an order denying department em-} ployes the right to affiliate with labor | organizations. Some time ago the) Postoffice Department dismissed some | railway mail clerks for joining labor unions at St. Paul and other points in| the West. This caused a vigorous! protest from the American Federation | of labor. As a resulta bil) has been introduced in Congress by Mr. Lloyd, | of..Missouri, to permit government | employes to organize. Hearings are! given on this bill by the House com- mittee on reform in the civil service, of which Mr. Godwin, of North Caro- | lina, is chairman. Postoffice officials | admit that employes are not permitted to join labor unions, the reason being | that it is not proper to permit the pos- | tal employes to join any organization | from which postal officals are exclud- | ed ahd that it would not be proper to| put the government postal service at} the mercy of the labor unions. Smart Dog and Humane, Wadesboro Messenger. Mr. W W. Crowder has a water| spaniel that he will back against any-| body’s dog for smartness and the finer dog feelings. Mrs. Crowder had a hen to ‘‘come off’’ with 13 Plymouth | Rock biddies and one biddy of anoth- | er breed. Every one who has had ex- rience with chickens knows that lymouth Rocks, when first hatched, are dark. The chick of a different strain was yellow and the hen got it into her head that it did not belong to her, so set about pecking the poor lit- tle thing to death. The water spaniel | Was standing near and after the hen had pecked the chick viciously two or three times the dog drove the hen away and gently picked up the biddy in his mouth and carried it in the} house and dropped it in Mrs. Crow- der’s lap. Joint Conunission Representing Branches of Methodism.

Carlyle says, ‘“‘There is no kind of achievement equal to perfect health. “What to it are nuggets on millions?’ While Sir Wiliam Tem- Pile remarks, “Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade, and are tasteless, if not dead without it. Without health @ Man’starves at the best and the greatest tables,*poor and wretch-| ed in .the midst of the greatest treasures and fortunes.” But why not have health? Do you need it? Do you need rest and recreation under conditions that will make for better health and strong- er constitution? Why not get out into the country, away from the hustle of towntife, away trom cares and perplexities and | get up near the mountains where the air is pure, where the sunshine is brightest, up where the very atmos- phere is invigorating and bracing? Such a place is found at All Heal- ing Spring, six miles northwest of Taylorsville, Alexander county, N. Ce 1,300 feet above the level of the sea, in the foothills of the Brushy mountains. There are no extremes of tem- peratures here: The summers are Cool and healthful and the climate, coupled. with the wonderful cura- tive properties of Alb Healing Spring water, make a different man or a different woman of you: The water that flows from Ab Healing Spring is a wonderfully purq and crystal-like stream. It is in- odorous and has a delightful! taste; but its principal reputation rests upon the fact thet it has cured a 8reat many invalids suffering from rheumatism, indigestion, cutaneous affections, and kidmey and bbadder troubles. The distinguished chemist, Prof. Ferguson, of the College of Phar- macy of New York, who made the analysis of the water, appends ta the analysis the following tribute: “The is an excellent water, being practi- cally free from organic matter, and on account of its alltalinity and the presence of lithium, is eminently fit« ted for all purposes where the medic- inal virtues of these ingredients are desired.’”’ To those who are so situated as to be unable to use the water direct: from the spring, I would suggest that the analysis of the water was made by Dr. Venable, chemist at the North Carolina University, nin months after jt was taken from the spring and the results were practi- cally the same’ as those found by Prof. Ferguson. Therefore, I would advise that you have the water ship~ ped to you and use it freely; It aa co heavy doctor bills. u ere are better advantages t the Springs, as a hotel and cobs tage are both provided with hot and cold mineral baths on both floors.

Seats were re- served near the front for the’ Con- federate veterans and the Ipegell Blues and quite a company of thé old and the young soldiers attended the service in a body. (The favorite hymns of the old days, the days when our mothers were young peo lle, were sung in the old way by the congregation without the organ— and there was some special music, by the choir which was appropriate to the occasion Taking for his text the words of Jesus on the cross, when He com- mended His mother to the care of John, Mr. Turner delivered a very interesting discourse on Christian Motherhood. It was explained that the object of the fay was to brighten the life of every mother in the Unft- ed States and all were urged to hon- or their mothers and let them know that they are loved. Go home and tel! your mother what she has been to you and that you love her. If you can't go to her write her a letter of love and enclose a little gift.

Duttera, president of the Rowan Automobile Association, authorizes the Salisbury \ to announce that the association ep ve a reward of $5 for any = reports persons throwing glase, crockery, or tin on the streets of Salisbury, that. may puncture the tires of automobiles. All ef which is proper. Automo- Biles have rights on the streets and highways and folks who try to damage the machines or annoy the @rivers should be punished. Dr. Duttera is a preacher and of course Delieves in. the golden rule. That being so The Landmark makes bold to suggest that he, as president of the Rowan Automobile Association, tay down some rules and regulations respecting the rights of that por- tion of the people who trevel in the old way—on foot or by horse-pro- gelled vehicles, First, that any member of the Rowan Automobile Association who exceeds the speed Mmit provided by, law shall be sus- pended from membership and prose- cuted in the courts by the president of the association. Second, any member of the association who has a horn on bia machine of unusual wound shall be excluded from the emociation and members shal re- fuse him recognition. Many of the automobile people put on horns that wound like the scream of a wild cat or the wail of a lost soul: The forne are not only not necessary @ut they gre calculated, if not in- tended, to frighten horses and thus add to the terror which the~ ma- ebine inspires. Those who have Ghese horns usually blow them con- wtantly, seemingly to attract at- tention to themselves and to cre ate as much disturbance as possible, utterly regardhess of the rights of other people, and seemingly with a desire to put on something that will frighten a horse which has become used to the ordinary machine. Third, any member who blows his horn More than is necessary to egfive a simple signal when approaching a eurve in the track or as a warning when approaching a party from the rear, shall be suspended from membership and fined. Some of the auto pegple, as soon as they sight @ party, begin and keep up a con- stant toot-toot. This will sometime frighten a horse that would not oth- @rwise take fright. In addition it ,, as the appearance of ordering the Barty to get out of the way’ or be Tun over, which creates a feeling of resentment, and not only makes one fee] like throwing something in the road to puncture tires, but it makes him fee] like throwing rocks or us- ing ‘a gun. A signal to warm of . the approsch of the machine is prop @r, but it is not necessary to keep up the tluwing so as to terrorize the horse and irritate the driver. to have bet up rial Day, in the yery shadow of the court house and jall, certainly had their verve with them. They either did not know Iredell’s record for calculated that the very boldness of their operations would save them. Seeing that. they offered insult, s0 te speak, to the Governor ‘of the State, within the sound of whose voict they are alleged to have set up business, and that the offence was also a desecration of a day set epart to a sacred purpose, if they. are guilty they will stand a mighty good show -of getting what is com ing to them. ees gb Concerpin’ of the municipal mud- dle in Monroe—-which came about being elected on the first Monday in May instead of the first Tuesday after the first Monday, as the law has been talk and then some, © but that is all. When somebody brought to Nght the fact that the election was illegal it was figured that the former mayor and board would hold over and the officials of that board who had been displaced would alse hold over, etc. Then somebody found that the oli_board had also been elected on the first Menday in May and was in the same boat with the new crowd, so far as the illegality of the election ig concerned. “And there ye are,” as Mr. Doole. used to say. s s . Recently the board of aldermen of Concord paseed an ordinance that liqueur should net be sold in the drug stores of that town, and now the commisalonere of Cabarrus have passed an order to “prohibit the sale in Cabarrus county of spirituous vinous, fermented or malt liquors, or intoxicating bitters, by any licena- ed or registered pharmacist. This is to apply to the county outalde the corporate limita of Concord.” ot course the commissioners mean they will refuse license for this purpose. That is the extent of their authority in passing prohibitory laws.—Otatee- ville Landmark, Judge Clark, the editor of The Landmark, who is almost invariably right in delivering his opinions, is a little off on this propgsition. Sec- tion 6 of the prohibition act pro- vides: “That* nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent the county commissioners or governing body of any town or city from pro- hibiting the sale of spirituous, vi- nous, fermented or mak liquors, or intoxicating bitters, by any, licensed or registered pharmacist in their re- spective counties, cities or towns.” That section, Col. Sherrill, sim- ply means that the commissioners have the power to neftise license, which of course has the same ef- fect. That is all there is to it. <ompcssssfaetinenesinvenpypemasaermns WHAT THE ODD FELLOWS DID. Education of Orphans Left to Trus- fees and Home to Have School of Own.

CLARK, EDITOR AND OWNER OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET UB ION PRICE: ONTHS tha THE “MAJORITY F FOR THE BONDS. The. official canvass of the vote in the road bord election last Tues- day, made by the county commis- gioners yesterday, shows that the registered vote was 4,081 and the vote Gast for the bonds was 2.664. The vote cast for the bonds — sub- tracted from the registered vote leaves 1417 votes against the bonds, cast and uncast. As the differ- ence between 2,664 and 1,417 is 1,- 247, this last figure is the official majority for the bonds. While the townships of States- wille and Coddle Creek--the latter aincluding Mooresville—gave a large Majority. for the bonds, it is gratify- ing to note that with the elimination af these two townships the measure still has a majority of 250, which shows that the rural people favored the bond issue. Iiredell now stands at the head in the matter of appro- priation for good roads. While a number of other counties have voted bonds, so far mone has voted as much as $400,000. This is due to the fact that Iredell has no bonded @ebt and is therefore abundantly able to take care of. the bond issue of $400,000. Another fact that wpeaks volumes for the Iredell peo- ple, is that few if any of the coun- ties voting bonds voted them at the first election. Most of them had to make a second trial. It is proper to say, however, that one reason ‘why Iredell voted the bond: issue by ®o large a majority is that the road tax whigh the county has been Paying the past two years is suf- ficient to pay the interest and provide a sinking fund for the $400,- 000. But it is proper also to say thatthe main reason the bonds were voted is that Iredell people have taken a stand for progress and will mot turn back. This stand is a splen- did advertisement for the county. It has advertised Iredell throughout the length and breadth of the land and will do more to attract people and money to the county than any- thing that could bedone. The nu- ‘merous extracts from State papers commenting’ on the election, which. the President SECRETARY OF OF WAR. RESIGNS. His Successor Appointed—Quick Change in Cabinet. Causes Much Speculation, 4 Washington Dispatch, 12th. i Secretary of War Jacob McGavorek Dickinson, of Tennessee, the Dertt- ocratic member of President Taft's cabinet, has resigned: Henry L. Stimson, of New York, recently de- ernor of that,-State, has, been given the war portfolio. : This announce- ment was made at the White House tonight and oeceasioned great sur- prise. In the letters exchanged between the President and Mr. Dickinson, no reason, other than that of press- ing private affairs, ig given for the Secretary's retirement. The Presi- dent will confer with Mr. Stimson in New York tomorrow or Sunday, but the new Secretary of War’ will not be sworn in until the return of to the capital on Monday. Mr. Dickinson will go to his Tennsesee home immediately up- on the qualification of his success- or. He expects to devote his atten- tion to business and will not return to the practice of law, in which he was engaged when President Taft ap pointed him Secretary of War in Mareh, 1909. He is. the second member of Mr. Taft’s cabinet to retire to private life, Secretary of the Interior Ballinger having sever- ed his connection with the Presi- dent’s official family only a few months ago. of Mr. Dickinson’s retirement came that of the appointment of C. 8. Millington, of Herkimer, N. Y., to be Assistant Treasurer of the Unit- ed States at New York. “ Mr. Stim- son was the Roosevelt candidate for Governor, while Mr. Millington was a former member of the House from the twenty-seventh New York dis- trict and is a close friend of Vice President Sherman and other lead- ers of the Old Guard in the State, having succeeded Mr. Sherman in the House when the latter became Vice President. In the two appointments official Washington found food for spec- ulation and many politicians thou they saw therein the first step of administration to straighten out the tangled skein of New York politics. Mr. Dickinson is a Democrat. His presence in the cabinet of a Repub- lican President has not been 1look- ed upen with favor by some of Mr. Taft’s political advisers, who were of the opinion that the office of Secretary of War should be held by soine one of the President’s own party and who also pointed out that Mr. Dickinson might prove a source of embarrassment when the 1912 presidential campaign begins. Naturally Mr. Dickinson found dis- cussion in the cabinet of party meas- ures often a personal embarrass- ment. There were others who thought that Mr. Dickinson had in- curred some criticism by his con- duct of the War Office. ‘The Landmark is printing today, is substantial proof of this state- “ment.

He does not know anything about — railroad man ent except in an academic way, but his state- ments ag to the terrible waste in the management of these properties made a profound impression upon the country and doubtless affected to some extent th» decision of ‘the Inter-State Commerce Commission in the freight rate case. Julius Kruttschnitt, Director of Mainte- nauce and Operation of the Union Pacific System and the Southern Pacific Company, delivered a very instructive lecture lately at an Amer- jean uniiversity, in which he made some calculations from actual mate- rial, which serves as a stand-off to the economic vagaries of the Bos- ton attorney. These statistics show that by increasing their efficiency in the last fifteen years the railroads have saved the public an average of $1,300,000 a day in tran portation charges ‘by not boosting freight and passenger ratee in pro- portion to the ificrease in commodity prices and wages paid for living. The text of Mr. Kruttschnitt’s lec- ture is printed in the current number of the Railroad Age Gazette. He estimates that during the year 1909 the saving to the public was at the rate of$2,700,000 every 24 hours, and that since 1894 by in- creasing their efficiency the rail- roads have saved to the pubiic the Field Selectcd—Batts’ 4-ear, T-ear, Cocke’s.

Juarez, Mex,, Dispateh. 11th. Mexico's provisional government composed of insurrectionists,became an established fact today with the naming of a cabinet byFrancisco I.

The cabinet, follows: Minister of foreign relations: Vasquez Gomes. Finance: Gustavo A. Madero. War: Venuistano Carranza. Interior: F. Gonzales Garza Justice: Jose M. Pino Suarez. Private Secretary to President Ma- dero: Juan Sanchez A. Secoma. Secretary of War Oarranza will have charge of railways and tele- graphs.

Raleigh News and Observer. The Congressional Directory, which tells all about Senators and Representatives from the date of their birth up until the time they receive their latest committee as- signnmrents, is just from the presses of the Government printing office, and is a very popular publication by reason of the freak biographical sketches of many of the new mem- bers. Members of Congress write the stories of their Hves for the official Congressional Directory, and most of them with a proper degree of modesty confine themselves to a mére recital of facts and incidents fn their lives. But with every new Congress there are disclosed mem- bers with a penchant for self-praise. One of the worst offenders is Rep- resentative Littlepage, of West Vir- |‘ ginia, who hands himself a smear of laudation in the new directory. Writing of-himself, the West Virgin- ia Congressman says in the new con- gressional publication: “He has established a lucrative law practice and stands very high ag a lawyer and citizen throughout his district and State. He bears the reputation of being a very grate- ful man, never forgetting a kindness and is faithful in his friendships, and is thoroughly reliable. He stands for the under man in life. Works hard, late and early as a Congressman, and is _ reflecting credit upon the country by his man- ly, conservative and wise course in Washington as a representative of the people. He isa patriotic mar of ability, and fine qualities of ‘mind and heart.” At is small wonder that the Con- gressional Directory has leaped in- to popular demand when it contains such self-eulogistic write-ups of Con gressmen as the above indicates. The biographical sketches of the four new ‘Congressmen from North Caroling are very interesting. They are exceedingly modest, and in no way transgress the rules of proprie- ty, which good judgment prescribes.- Is there anything in all this world that is of more importance to you than good digestion?

The law. provides that the com- missioners shail employ a competent and experienced engineer to lay out afd @upérvise the buliding an¢ improving of the roads, etc. Mr. Mills has written Dr. Pratt, State geologist, asking him to recommend a competent engineer and if possible en engineer who is an experienced road builder. To bulid the roads ic @ reasonable time it will be neves- gary to fet the work to several con- tractors. The engineer will of course Make the plans and specifications, the county commissioners will let contracts, the work to be done der the supervision of the engin- eer. ‘The engineer cannot of course bein miore than one place at a time and with three or four road con- tractom, or more, working in differ- eut parts of the county, they will have opportunity, between visits of the engineerto get in shoddy work if so amind. The people of the township, or some of them, will be @ure tO Bee something to complain about, and they will make their oe ES ate Man can’t stand over all the con- tractors at once; he can’t give his whole time when he receives no extra pay for it, and Mr. Miils couldn’t do it for pay, for his own interests demand attention. But Mr. Mills’ idea is that each mem- ber of the advisory committee fa- Miliarize himself with the contract and the work as planned by the en- gineer, give a part of his time to the supervision of the work tn his township when the engineer is ab- sent and take the respomsibility for the work in his township. The lo- cal man would draw no pay for this, Dut inasmaich as the commissioners get none except for attendance on board meetings,the local man would be on practically the same basis with the commissioners. The Landmark thinks Mr. Mills’ plan isasound one. The suggestion of an advisory committee composed of one man from each township waa with the idea of giving the commis- sioners assistance in this important work. Each township committeeman fs expocted to be able to speak for his people and to be. responsible to them, and it is certainly not un- reasonable to expect him to give @ reasonable amount of time to su- pervieing the work in his own tow-- ship and to be willing to take the Tesponsibility for it, under the cir- cumstances If members already se- lected do not care to do this, oth- ers can be selected if the plan meets approval If no one can be found in a township to do this, then the people should not complain if they think the work is unsatisfac- tory. The law authorizes the appoint- ment of such overseers,or assistants to the engiueeras may be necessary and already applications are being made for these places. To employ several experienced engineers would Mean a big outlay for salaries. To employ inexperienced men wouli Mean salaries and would leave the responsibility with the commission- ers, who will be unable to give the work the personal attertion it Should have. Mr. Mills says he is willing to be responsible for work in StatesyUle township and of course other commissioners will look after the work and share the responsibility in their townships. But the idea is to get at least one man in each of the 11 townships where there is no resident commissioner, to vise and be responsible forthe work. Mrs. Hackett's Recital. Raleigh.

Sloop if he had ever driven a ma- chine. Mr. Sloop had uot. Mr: Mar- tin offered to let him try. : Sloop eays he demurred but Mr. Martin got out and told Mr. Sloop to get fa the chauffeur's seat and goahead. Mr. Sloop got in gingerly aud started off; and about that same time the machine headed straight for aide of the noad and collided th the bank. The axles were bent and many other parts more or less damaged. Nobody was hurt but while the machine was making for the bank Mr. Sloop probabix had visions of the tast act in his career and also of the cost’ of a new machine. Mr. Sloop will forego autos for a time. Instead of going to Charlotte Wedresday the Martin auto spent the day at the Fox garage and the repair bill was considerable.

Exercises Tuesday The closing exercises having ‘been concluded, practically alliof the out- of-town students and teachers of Statesville Female College departed Wednesday and today quiet reigns within the college walls. The com- mencement exercises proper Tues- day night were attended by an audi- ence which filled Shearer Music Hall and heard:.with pleasure the literary address by Mr. MacKesson and the final exercises by the stu- dents. On the rostrum with the graduates and those who took part in the exercises were members of the board of trustees and the pret- ty little nuascot of the senior clase, Helen Long, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. L. Long, of Elmwood. The glee club was on the rostrum for the opening and closing songs. The exercises ‘opened with a hymn sung by the entire assémbly, followed by prayer by Rey. J. H. Pressly. The salutatory address was then delivered by Miss Rachel Summers, the second honor grad- ate, and after a piano solo by Mies Liss Clement,the speaker of the eve- ning, Mr. Chas. F. MacKesson, of Morganton, was introduced to the audience by Mr. R. R. Clark, as “a student of literature, a student of the race, a scholar and-an- orator,” and tn his pleasing address which followed Mr. MacKesson evinced to the audience thmt he is all that was said of him in the introduction. Mr. MacKesson began by declaring it to be an honor to any man to speak in the presence of such an audiénce as that he faced, especial- ty the young ladies, and in telling of an interesting and humorous con- verzation with a brilliant young wo- man, he said that the older he gets thé more he is convinced that men are a necessary evil in this world. He then went into detail in complimenting the city of States- ville and her citizenship, telling of the wonderful! progress’ during the years since he first ew the town as a beautiful villege,qulet and unkuown, aad enu ed the many achievements which have given the town a good name. Referring to the work of the coliege,Mr. MacKea- cee oe ee eat this eenter of education in the com- munity, and addgessing the young lady students and graduates, he wished for time to recount all the achievements of their sex. There is not a man of any eminence in any branch of life who does not owe his success to the tact and larger visigg Of some woman. Such women thr hout the world are like the great artist who stands behind the curtain. Here the speaker briefly told the story of the great English queen who dressed in the garb of a peasant woman, went to the beggar and poured into his ears the gos- pe) of Christ. and many other like instanées of which the world is full. Whenever we follow the re- freshing stream ofa fountain of pur- ity we find that it is from a woman that it flows. North CaroHna has muny glorious women. One born and revred in thie State, one high- ly educated and gifted beyond most woiner, who moved into Alabama, conceived: the idea ‘of a reformatory for the young criminals of that State and after she finally succeeded in having money voted by the Legisla- ture she established an institution which has redeemed scores of youths and Made them industrious men. That woman isMrs.Robert D. John- , formerly of Greensboro. I believe that every. girl in North Carolina ought to be taught love fo a home, love for her county town, love for her county, for her State and tof her country and its flag, continued the speaker. She should ‘keep in touch with the achievements of men and women and 80 broaden her vision that it will take in the whole nation. She ought to love this country of ours because it is the greatest in the world and all aations come to us for knowledge. This. na- tion of ours is the Son of God among the nations; the religion of Christ goes out from it. It is the first nation to vouchsafe to woman the larger opportunity. Education ts one of the factors to carry out the purpose of God in the creation, of man. Reason ard revelation declare to us that man is an immortal beltig and bis nature is toward perfection. Fducation, no less than religion, is one of His provisions for the re- demption of man. Al) ilfe is a strug- gle’ and conflict. This world is beautiful to look out upon, so full ofsweetness and beauty,and enrich- ed for our eiujoyment; a world of wonderful beauties which man could not have conceived; a world woven from a heart of love, from which God tntended that we should draw lessous of purity, stremgth and loye.

As is always the case, however, the reformers are dis- posed to carry their reforms too far. The provision for the recaHl of un- worthy and unecceptable public offi- cials is one that should be care- fully safeguarded, for while it may be necessary on occasion it is easy to see that a disgruntled few, by availing themselves of the recall, can keep up a constant turmoil by asking fer elections every few months on the question’ of removing some pub- lic official. The best public official that ever lived is rarely satisfactory to all elements, for [t is practically impossible to please everybody; and sometimes, in some communities, the best public officials are most unpopular, for when the lawless ele- ment is in the ascendancy the pub- He official who conscientiously does his duty is not popular.

Washington Dispatch, 16th, | The Standard Oil Company of | New Jersey and its 19 subsidiary | corporations were declared today | by the Supreme Court of the United | States to be a conspiracy and com- | bination in restraint of trade. it | also was held to be monopolizing in-| ter+t8ate commerce in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law.

At the same time the oourt in- terpreted the Sherman anti-trust law $0 as to admit its application to acts of “undue” restraint of trade and not “every” restraint of trade.

The opinion of the court today was construed to mean that the to- baceo case. like every other case in which restraints of trade are al- leged, must be subjected to the new test of reasonableness of the re- straint, as laid down in the Stand- ard Oil decision. By far the greater portion of the opinion of the Chief Justice was de- voted to the justification of the court in requiring that the “rule of ré@as- on” be applied to restraints dn, trade before they were held to be violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. The court found thig justifi- cation in the common law of the forefathers and in the general law of the country at the time the Sher- man anti-trust law was passed.

Immediately questioned by Democrats who had not been consult- ed as to the authority by which the rules committee offéred these names, Mr. Henry said about 150 Democrats had approved the Democratic list and Republican members weéré nam- ed by Minority Leader Mann. The steel trust investigating com- mittee was approved before the Dem- Ocrits woke up to the full effect of the situation. The resultant fight fell upon the sugar trust committee, and a continuation of the struggle finally was averted by the action of Democratic Leader Underwood in adjourning the House while the ree- olution was still pending.

Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the rev- olutionary leader, will be called to Mexico City to act as De La Bar- ra’s chief adviser and to serve as the greatest guarantee possible that ev- ery pledge made by the government to end the revolution will be carried out. Viewed by the public, it will be virtually a joint presidency,pend- ing the calling of a new presidentia! election. The cabinet will be reorganized. The minister of war will be named De La Barra. The foreign of- fice will be in charge of a sub- secretary named by De La Barra. Other cabinet ministers will be chosen by De La Barra and ‘Madero acting jointly. A new election will be called within six months and po- litical amnesty will be recommended to the chamber of deputies. The foregoing are the conditions on which PresidentDiaz will compro- mise with the rebels. Virtually they are admitted in high quarters to be a complete surrender to the revyo- lutionists.

Washington Correspondence Ashe- ville Citizen. R. E.. Cabell, commissioner of in- ternal] revenue, has said a remarkable thing about North Carolina moonshin- ers. He wrote a Tar Heel Congress- man, who was appealed to for aid from a constituent, as follows: ‘‘Itis a matter of common knowledge that the illicit manufacture and sale of dis- tilled spirits is distressingly prevalent throughout the greater portion af the State of North Carolina. The inter- nal revenue force is not very large in mumbers. We have the largest force | Qf officers assigned in the Asheville | district that is assigned to any dis- | trict in the United States, and the rec- | ords will show that a surprisingly [ large number of illicit plants are cap-| tured every year.

And it (is a battle and conflict which each of us must fight out for ourselves. The world is no harmonious machin ery, but a vest’ realm of experiences It w ordained of God that we should have this conflict, and I be- and-every social triumph was or- lieve that every triumph of religion dained of God.

You young women go out wearing culture, character and dignity and the des- tiny of North Carolina. Woman first began her triumphant march when She held the infant Christ in her arms. The previous period ig re- garded as the age of great litera- ture, and yet woman with all her splendor was nothing more than a slave, and it was so until Christ, on the cross, said to John, “Behold your mother.” Since then woman’s march has been upward till shenow holds the golden circle of eternity. Mr. MacKesson closed by reciting a beautiful poem which expressed his sentiments. The reader must not judge his address«from the above summery. Given word for word would nét do the speaker justice, for his perscnality and manner of speech add great power to his utterances. A piano selection by Misses Jes- sie Keefe,BeulahArey andMargaret Neving followed the addresss, and then President Scott read the hon- or rolls and presented the diplomas and certificates. Dr. Scott said past session has been one of vety faithful work on the part of the students. Never since he has been @t the head of the institution have #0 many young ladies attained the first honor grade. The literary graduates who received diplomas @re: Bachelor of science,Miss Mary Bel! Wradtord, Huntersville; bach- elor of literature, Miss Rachel Law- rence Summers, Statesville, and Miss Grace Soseaman, of the vicinity of Concord; bachelor of arts, Miss Allie Mae Arey, Elmwood; Miss Ma- ty Elizabeth Bell;Ronda; MissKath- erine Waddell Scott, Covington, Va. There was only one piano graduate, Mies Annabelle Mills, of Statesville, and five who finished the business course, viz: Miss Bessie Armstrong, Barber Junction; Mias Cleo McLain, Eufola; M:ss Rachel Scroggs, of the vicinity of Statesville; Miss Fannte Query Concord; Miss Jhoe Snowden, South Carolina. Certificates of Proficiency were awarded as follows: MissMaymeWilson, Statesville, com- pleted course in Kngiish and histo- ry; Miss Rosa RatchfordSopth Car- olina, Bibdle, Evgtisn, history aad French; 3i:ss Arnapbeite Mills, Eng- lish and ible; Miss Alice Carson, Virginia, bookkeeping and type- writing; Miss Clara Foard, States- villecompleted junior year in piano, . harmony and theory. After the diplomas and certifi- cates had been awarded members of the junior class marched on the rostrum, disrobed the graduates and wore the black senior robes from the sage, signifying that it is they who will next year wear this emblem of dignity. The validictory address was then delivered by Miss Kather ine Scott, the first honor graduate, following which the marshals were allowed to bring in the flowers and other gifts to the graduates, which were many and beautiful. Preceded by a few words regard- ing the progress and improvement of the college as a result of the loyalty of the friends of the institu- tion, and expressing appreciation for the interest and generosity of these, including the donors of the medals, Dr. Scott then awarded the medals, which proved to be a most inte - ing feature of the evening. The scholarship medal, offered to the Whole student body ty a friend whose name is not made public, was awarded Miss Edith Gilbert, of Cool- eemée, a member of the freshman class; the M.R.Adams music medal went to Miss Annabelle Mills, and the W. A. Wood Biblical medal to Miss Katherine Scott. The essay med- al, offered for the best essay on “The Value of Education to a Wo- man,” was awarded Miss Grace Sos- saman. It was explained that many of the essays abounded in excel- lence, aud that they required the reading and study of three commit- tees before that bearing Miss Sos- Saman’s number was decided to be the best. Following is a list of the . first + honor students as read by Dr. Scott: Senior class,Misses Katherine Scott and Rache; Suimmers; juniors, Miss- es Hclen Bast, Esther Curry, Liss Clement, Rebeka Miller, Edith Mc- Laughlin, Anva Summers, Rebeka Stimson, Martha Taylor, Helen Wilson; sophomores, Misses Mary Gray Dew, Louise Johnson, Janie MeNeill; freshman, Misses Nina Black, Edith Gilbert, Mary Fleming, Mary Shoaf, Master Gordon Scott. The exercises closed with the singing of the college song by the Glee Club and the benediction by Rev. ©. E. Raynal The friends of the graduates were then given opportunity to meet them on the ros- trum and offer congratulations, which were truly in order. . No less interesting than the com- mencement exercises proper were the clase day exercises which took Place im the afternoon on the college campus. While the old North State Kand,‘which furnished excc ilent mu- sic for the occasion,” played a march the exercises began with the march of the classes, which was a pretty feature of the afternoon. First came the president of the student body, Miss Grace Sossaman; who wore he: senior robe and carried a huge § F., C. pennant,followed by the freshman clars, headed by its president, Nina Black, who carried a 1914 Wenner of red and white,the class colors, signifying when she and her Miss | classmates will graduate. Next wer: the sophomores, with Presidéat Ma- ry Reid holdiing the 1913 benner of blue and gold at the front, followed by the juniors, who were lead by their president,Miss Rebeka Miller, who bore a green and white 1912 banner. Last came the seniors, headed by the vice president, Miss Katherine Scott, who held aloft the 1911 Danner of gold and white. The freshman and the junior classes carried chains of greenery,while the sophomores and seniors— carried chains of paper and cloth of their class colors. Aftef circling and re- circling on the campus directly in front of the college, the ‘students marched corner, followed by the spectators, lined up ‘in the shade of the pretty trees the senior class song was sung. The class’ history, in which was told the ups and downs and the klad- ness and sorrow of the class, was read by Miss Allie Mae Arey, and Mise Mary Bradford submitted. the class poem, which was original’ and spicy. The class prophecy by Miss Mary Bell wasan entertaining dream of the future of her classmates and the last will and testament by Mise Grace Sossaman was an interesting document in verse which bequeathed various and sundry things to the seniors-to-be. Miss Sossaman fitting- ly presented her sentor cap and gown to Miss Esther Curry, repre- sentative of the juliors, who fitting- ly responded. After singing the college song the young ladies and the audience moved to the other side of the cam- pus, where a very amusing play, entilled“TheChampion of HerSex.” the senior class and Miss Helen was presented by the members of Wilson, trom an improvised stage arranged om the campus. The play was a farce on the modern suffra- gette leader and was presented in a highly pleasing manner by the young ladies. The ‘Song to Alma Mater’ and the college yells closed the exercises. The commencement marshals were Misses Mary Heriderson, chief, Mira Lofton,Annie Efird,Helen East, Re- beka Miller, Jane Erwin and John- sie Shelton. The graduating class of the col- lege this year was the smallest for years and as explained in the class history was due to the small fresh- Man class in 1907 and the oumber who have dropped out during the four years. The freshman, sopho- more and junior classes were large and the prospects for very large graduating classes during the com- ing years are bright. The college trustees held their annual session Tuesday morning, went over the past year's. work of the institution and planned for its fature. The members of the faculty for next year were approved and plans for extensive improvements to be made on the interior of the building before next session and some exterior work were discussed. Misses Louise Siddall, Sertha Fleming and Lucile Greene will not return to Statesville as members of the faculty of the college next yedr. Mise Siddall, who has gone to her bome at Sumter, §. C., and Miss Hazel Stevenson, of the college fac- ulty, accompanied by Miss Ellen Sid dall, a teacher in a woman's college at Meridian, Miss., will sail from Philadelphia May 27th for a_ trip abroad. After touring England and other countries they will spend the remainder of the summer studying in Paris. Miss Siddall will study mu- sic and Miss Stevenson will study languages. They will return to America in the fal]. Miss Fleming fas gone to her home in Franklin, Ky., and Miss Greene has gone ‘to Spartanburg, S. C., where she will visit before going to her home in Bir- mingham, Ala. Other out-~oftown members of the faculty who have departed for their homes are Miss Williams, of Victoria, Va., and Miss Boardman, of Greensboro, Ala. During the years in which, she has been an efficient and popular instructor in the music department of the college Miss Siddall has also been organist at the First Pree- byterian church, being a teacher of pipe organ. Her services in this capacity at the church were valued and as a token of their apprecia- tion members of the church pre- Sented to her,on the eve of her de parture, a beautiful gold watch.

It makes no difference whether you say follow holiness or follow sanctification. Take both thoughts. It’s the holy end and by ‘pouteiqo oq Avul pus yey) ABM YOGA It’s the renewing of the whole man after the image of God; it’s making the man holy. The human life is a possibility of holiness. That piano is a possibility of music but it takes an expert to get the music out of it. If I should undertake to play it there would be discord. If the spirit of God dwells within us there is harmony, but if the spirit of evil there is discord. God is undertak- ing to renew in a man a clean heart and a right spirit. When Christ on the mount said “be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect” and “be ye holy as [ am holy,” He Meant that we are to be partakers of His holiness. No matter how bright and shining we may become among our fellows, when the light of Christ eomes our light fails The second point is how shall we undertake to attain holiness. The Scripture says to follow, but there are different ways of following. For instance, take a dog which we say is following the wagon. “He starts off with the wagon but soon ‘he is dashing here and yonder, first ohas- ing birds.and then a rabbit ahd, per- chance when we lose sight of him fodils, pansies, pond lilies, brides- maids, knights, Chinamen and dudes of the realm: The play is being arranged un- der the direction of Miss Flynn, Mrs. D.

THE TWO WINDOW LAW AGAIN, ‘The Landmark has mentioned that the railroads seem to have been abil to practically put out of commission the “two window” law enacted by the Legislature as a sort of compro- mise in the contention over the Ywatter of requiring the railroads to pull mileage on trains. An Iredell member of*the Legislature tells The Landmark that it was the in- tention of the legislative commniittee ‘to have the law passed so as to re- @uire the railroads to have two win- fows—one for the sale of tickets mnd one for the exchange of mileage —at all stations in towns of 2,000 “population and over and at certain Janction points named,such as.

When the corporation commission the other day exempted all the towns in the State except seven, and the junction points specifica)- ly named, the Iredell member was anxious to know “how come.” An @xamination of the law shows the Yoophole. It provides that the #orporation commission may, on com- Plaint and in its discretion, apply the law to juaction points not nam- @d in the bill and: to cities and towns of less than 2,000 inhabitants ‘and “‘may in like manner take out, im its discreticy, cities and towns of 2,000 populaiion and over.” The last! clause gives the corporation com- mission power to exempt towns of 2,000 population and over, on the complaint of the railroads, which is aew iegisiation to the rede! man @nd which he says was not the pur- | In writing to Solicitor A. Hall Johnston, of Marion,’ announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate, Chief Justice Waiter Clark lays down his platform as follows: The recent decision of the Feder- al Supreme Court, rendering nec- essary additional legislation for the suppression of the trusts, ‘has transferred the decision of the ques- tion whether the people of this country are powerful enough to control them, to the arena of the Senate, for the people have already captured the House of ta- tives. The same is true as to the tariff. It is in the Senate that the contest for the control of the government must be fought out be- tween the people and the interests. The choice of every Senator wil) be closely supervised by the special interests. The people cannot afford to be less wide-awake. If we are to bring our government back to. the people and.,are to save it from the continued control of selfish and personal interests, it is important that the voters shall know, before- hand, with exactness, the views'en- tertained by every candidate . for the Senate, and shall feel confident that his past record shall be such that they shall feel confident ‘that he will be as faithful and earnest in standing for those views after he is chosen as he was zéalous in professing them before his election. Having decided, after consulta- tion with friends, to submit to the people of this State the offer of my services on their behalf in the great struggle which must take place in the Senate, I take this means of ex- pressing my views for their approv- al. They are views which I have long entertained and often publicly expressed. I belong to what, for want of a better name,is called theProgressive Democracy, but which in faet is simply a return to Jeffersonian Democracy and to the declaration of our fathers that all government de- rives ita just powers from the con- sent of the governed and is created solely for their benefit. This idea is embedded in our State and Fed- eral constitutions, but for the last 40 years it has been generally treat- Dose of the law when drawn.

Coddle Creek Man Keturned Four at $225—Iniproved Stock and the Value. and progressive farmer of the vicin- ity of Mooresville, listing his prop- erty for taxation a few days ago, put down four cows at $225. Mr. Allison didn't put this value on his cows for “the big of the thing,” either, but he named that as a fair taxable value. The four cows yield 45 Vos. of butter a week and they would probably sell for $80 to $100 each -maybe couldn't be bought for that. So it will be seen that an is not tée much, although it is probably higher than even fine bred cows are usually returned. They have fine cows the Mooresville zection, Mr. bupeh being a sample of the won- derful improvement in cattle in re- cent years. Years ago, before the enactment of the “‘no-fence law,’’two or three cows or more were kept to supply milk for a family—nobody thought of dairying then—and if in at a milking it was considered good enough. When the no-fence law was passed many people, especially non-landowners and small landowg- ers, thought they were ruined be- cause they had to take their stéck off the range. They soon’ found, however,that one good cow well fed was worth a half dozen getting their keep cn the range. Thus the improvement of cattle began and progressive farmers discovered by and by the profit in dairying; and where cattle were formerly return- ed tor taxation at $5 to $10 the head, they are now returned at $50 and more,as witness the case of Mr. Allison, and there is more profit in paying tax On a $50 cow than on a $10 cow. | Speaking of valueing cows for tax- jation, the late John B. Holman once |\told The Landmark of his experience las assessor in his township. He |} didn’t want the place, but when he {was appointed he determined to Hve {up to the law as near as possible; jand when his constituents offered to jreturn cattle at $5 and $6 the head |which he knew should go on at $10 jto $15 (this was before the days }of many improved cattle) he put up |the value, and the value of other things were put up accordingly. “As {a result,’saidMr.Holman, “I wasn’t jlist-taker any more. I didn’t want jthe place but I did my duty as I saw it while I was io.” | Be ee ee |STORIES OF SHAKING BALD. |Rumblings of the Mountain. So | Alarmed Folks That They Paid | Their Debts—Judge Armfield’s | Story. The story that Bald mountain is rumbling again will call to the jminds of the older residents the jrumblings of that mountain in |1878 and the alarm that spread |jthrough all the countryside. In jthose days the means of travel and communication were very limited jand the stories \grew as they spread through the jcountry. The writer récalls that \it was said that people in the vi- cinity of the Bald became so alarm- ed that they even began to pay all their debts and get ready for the end, and whenever folks be- | ;come so concerned about anything | that they are moved to pay their | |debis you may know that their in-| terest is genuine.

Building That Stood Where the Town of Mooresville Now Stands —Whigs Named it For Home of Henry Clay——-Interesting’ History of An Ancient Seat of Learning. Correspondence of The Landmark, I have been requested to write a sketch of North Bend school house, which once stood near the center of what is now Mooresville. When the public school system was inaugurat- ed in North Carolina, there was a district school house built south of the public road, which is now Main gireet, on what is now ’the back lot of Mr. R.W. Freeze. This house was made of hewed logs and matoh- ed a hundred others built at that tine. It was destroyed by fire about 1857 and the community, in order to get the benefit of a classi- eal school, joined forces with the sehoo! committeemen and selected another site across a ravine, south- west of the old sitejon a small round elevation, which had been used by the Rev. Leroy Davis, who at that time was pastor of Center and Pros- pect churches, for an open-air Sun- day school, On this knoll they built a neat frame house 30x18 feet, cov- erde it with shingles, celled it in good style,made good benches, built a brick chimney,.«put in window glass, made a_ nice, comfortable house, and called it North Bend. The question has been asked why was it called North Bend? One of the oldest and most intelligent persous pow living in this commu- Dity says that it was called this in honor of the home of Henry Clay, the great Whig leader, who had Passed away. Others have told me that this end of the county was filled with Whigs and that there were very few Democrats, and the Whigs were much devoted to their @reat Jeader, Henry Clay, which cor- Toborates the statement that this building was named in honor of his home North Bend was built in 1858. Harrison Johnston, a Davidson Col- lege student, taught in it until the commencement of the civil war,when he and quite a number of his pu- Pils joined the army of Jackson and Lee He was wounded and died. When Mooresville was incorporated into a towu this school house serv- ed for schools,for Grange meetings, for preaching, for Sunday school, aod every other public meeting, un- ti] the Mooresville academy was built im 1874 or '75 The promoters of the Mooreseville academy and the district committeemen again joined forces and sold North Bend and Put the price into the Mooresville academy. North Bend was moved a hort distance an@ made a part of a new dwelling, and is still in use. The} first school that was taught , after | Mooresville legally became a@down, Was taught by Miss Tina Harris, a Most exeellent lady, in North Bend, in May, June and July, 1873. } The exact spot on which this building stood can still be pointed Out by a few of our older oftizens. A personally knew nothing of this | until after 1873, but I have been | about the Bald Fgtven this bistory by a clags of| ens who have 4 right to know |! | tt, sand I believe it to be correct. | | The older class of citizens all seem | }to have a warm spot in their hearts | |for-the memory of this house and [} }am of the cpinion that it was al place where they often met a rollicking good time. Ss. W. STEVENSON. Mooresville, N. C., | Good Farme: Convicted of Gambling and Landed on the Roads. } The Monroe Enquirer, telling of | a number of convicts brought from Chatham county to the Union coun- ty chain g.ing, says: “One of tie convicts coming from Pittsboro is a good farmer, runs| three piows, and has 40 acres in | wheat, whica is fine. The farmer| got to gambling and he came up | before Judge Justice for trial and | when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty the judge said to the | roads with the prisoner, and al-| though a gcod fine could have been | and had } |Paid he would not let the gambler | off that way.” The case was probably an ag- gravated one and we have no doubt the man got wnat he deserved, for Judge Justice is a good lawyer and a just judge. But the punishment this case of gambling Suggests what Judge Justice might do to the town gamblers if he had a chance—to the sports who play pokcr for what they can make out of it; the professional gamblers who have neither plows nor wheat but follow the business for a live- lihood, preying upon others. If Judge Justice had to pass on a few cases of this character the road forces wouid doubtless be mate- rially increased.

Some of the towns in the State are making a move teward the Staunton, Va. plan of municipal government—a plan which has prov-| ‘ed most satisfactory aad which is eertainly a business one—and that ts to employ a business manager to Took after all the business of the town. Employ a competent mean, pay him a good salary and require him to take the town’s affairs and Manage them with a view to s8e- ‘curing best results for the money &xpended, just as practical business men manage the affairs of a corpo- ©} tive persons, all of one family, |race from Paris to Madrid, The first car of Florida melons was shipped Thursday from Candler Fla., to New York. The sudden capsizing of a small batteau, cnly 50 feet from the Mis- sissippi river landing at Arkansas City, Ark., caused the drowning ¥ a 5 o’clock ‘Saturday afternoon, At Paris Sunday a flying machine which got beyond control of the driver, plunged into.a group of members of the cabinet which had gathered to witness the atart of the killing ithe minister of war and ipjuring the prime minister and his son. Six negroes were lynched at Lake City, Fla., early Sunday morning af- ter a party ef more than a dozen men, masqueradiing as officers, ap- peared at the county jail and se- cured possessidu of the men by presenting a bogus telegram to the 16-year-olc son of the sheriff, ordering the release of the blacks to the alleged posse of oficers. The negroes were held on a charge of murder, Gov. Blease, of South Carolina, Wation or any other business. The dea is to give the business manager; absolute control to hire and dis- charge help. The mayor and alder-| men act as the president and board of directors of a corporation and the business manager makes reports to them. The towns of Monroe and Thomas- ville propose to try this plan, at least in modified form. The great- st difficulty in putting it into ef- fect, as The Landmark sees ijt, will be to secure a competent man for the job. He will have to be an all- round man; will have to know how to have street work done, how to Manage water and light plants, etc.; but certainly a man should be found, ‘ven. at the salary the ordinary town can afford to pay, all this work done as well, if not | better, than it is usually done un-| der the slipshod methods necessa- | Tily in vogue in the average town | under the usual municipal style of | Wanagement. The boom of Governor Woodrow | Wilson, of New Jersey, for the pres- fdency is now in full swing. Mr. | Wilson is a rare combination of | Preacher, lawyer, scholar, orator an | Politician, but is handicapped in his | candidacy by the fact that his State | as the breeding hole of nine-tenths of the giant trusts that are preying ‘wpon the rest of the country. With-| ut meaning to question his sincerity | in the least. it would be refreshing | to see him tackle these mensters.—- Reidsville Weekly. Mr.Wilson is not a preacher; we | have never before heard “that he ‘was a lawyer and we don’t think | eis. He was never in politics until | he was nominated for Governor of | New Jersey,and steing that he dver- “ahrew both the Republican and ‘Dem- socratic machines in his own ‘State and forced through the Legislature every reform measure he promised ‘the people in hia campaign should be enacted, and all before he had been in office three months, shows consid- rable progress. At the rate he is proceeding he will be able to do, | even in New Jersey, before his term | ‘expires, all his most exacting crit- acs could aak. Th the announcement of his sen- @torial candidacy Gov. Aycock sets a worthy example, and one that Should be emulated, in saying that | ’ he has no monéy to spend in per-| fecting an organization to influence | the result" and would not spend | money for that purpose if he had it. The custom of spending mon- “ey in North Carolina campaigns has grown to an alarmiing extent and the former Governor does well *%o inveigh against the evil. All “the senatorial candidates have sery- ed the people in high position | and their records as public servants mre well known. Under the cir- cumstances it would be a proper mnd happy solution of the prom ems | to leave the matter to the people | without undue agitation.

The Governor says the dis- abled convicts are simply burdens on the State and he proposes to let them go whenever the prison phy- sician certifies a convict is perma- nently disabled. Ben Smith, an old negro preacher, was tynched at Swainsboro, Ga., late Saturday night, after he had shot his wife and fatally wounded Depu- ty Marshal Neal Canady. The offi- cor went to the ‘Megro’s cabin when he heard of the shooting and the negro opened fire on him, mo: tally wounding him. This was the second lynching at. the same place within ten days, the other being a negro who had Killed a. deputy sheriff. Dramatically begging to be allow- to offer prayer for her 6on and the jury, Mrs. 8S. L. L. Ray | knelt at the foot of the witness stand in the court room at Bain- bridge, Ga., last week, and prayed earnestly. Jurymen and others in the court room shed tears. The son, 8. T. C. Ray, is charged with the murder of Essie Schwartz, a {young girl, on ‘the night of: April 1 last. The defence is based on a plea of insanity. The mother’s pray- er was of course aie spectacular move to create sympathy for the son. Five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Roach, of Utica, Kans., rang ing io ages from 7 io 16 years, wer burned to death late Saturday night in a fire waich started in the Roach restaurant The parents were badly burned) The mother of the young girls, by mistake, filled a lamp with gasoline.

A Few Intpresting Things About North Carolina. Sanford Express. Few of us realize what a wide- spreading domain North Carolina is. It is larger thgn England. It has 52,250 square miles of territory. Its length from Ourrituck county to the east to Cherokee county in the west is 503 miles. If a National Magazine man will put a string down on the sands of the sea at the eastern end of the former county and stretch it across the mountains the western end of the latter, and, hitching one end of the string to Ourrituck, carry the other end due north it will land him in the middle of Lake Champlain in New York State, crossing Virginia, Mary- land, New Jersey, Delaware and more than half of theimpirestate. North Carolina is longer than from Asheville to Chicago or from San- ford to Buffalo. Its breadth is 188 miles at the widest point. It has 100 counties, the largest in square miles being Robeson with about 1,- 000, and the smallest New Hanover, with less than 150. It produces a greater variety of products than any of the sisterhood of State. The first Declaration of Independence was pro claimed on its soi) and it has led in many other things, always doing its duty alike ‘nm peace and in war, Just now the outside world is beginning to take note of the marvelous re- Oxford Dispatch, 19th, to Charlotte | While ‘Observer.

The proposed State central high- way from Morehead to Marsball— from the coast to the Tennessee line-——-authorized by act of the last Legislature, is attracting much at- tention and considerable interest in the project has been aroused, chiefly through the efforts of Mr. H.B, Var- ner, of Lexington, chairman of the board of trustees. It is announced’ that work has already begun on thé Mine at Morehead, $6,000 having been. qaised in Carteret county to build the road to the Craven coun- ty line. .Citizens of each county are expected to see the line through their county and the proposed . road is by no means an impossible task if the people along the line get in- terested, One feature that is creating more interest is the rivalry for the location of the Hine. In some counties two or more routes are proposed through the county, while in some instances counties not on the line suggested are suggesting changes in the route. Two routes are proposed for the road through Iredell. The people © Mooresville and others interested desire the route to run from Salis- bury via Mooresville and thence to the Catawba river and to Newton.

The memorial window in the Mil- ler-White drug store, Mooresville, arranged for Memorial Day, ag re- cently mentioned in The Landmark, is. a genuine little museum; There are all sorts of relics of the civil war period, loaned by their owners for, the display. Every old .Oo- federate soldier passing by stop- ped, looked-and talked, and kept on talking. A thousand memories were réf. by the old guns, horns, knives, jugs, swords—the old any- things. “Do you see that old Springfield rifle?” said one veteran to another. ‘That old guu,jf it had the power of speech, could tell many a story that would make your hair stand straight on your head, Seven Pines, Cold Harbor, Fredericksburg —they are familiar as yester- day to that Springfield. That gun was carried during the war by John M. Coleman and many a Yankee’s toes were turned toward the sun be cause it was there. If it oqould talk what a bloody story it could relate. Gentlemen, it served its day, and my humble wish is, ‘May it nest in peace.’ ”’ “But that bottle there,” said a fellow near by, “tell us about: it.’ The bottle was a plain pint bottle, nothing strange about it.

There was an army fork, carried by W. A. Graham, which had doubtless assisted in broiling many a slice of fat-back, and a spoon that was used—I suppos for soup, but* where did they get the soup? These are now in the possession of W. A. Sloop. Did you ever examine a bullet that had wounded a man? Did you ever see a buliet that had wounded anybody? One of the most inter- esting relies in this group, or in any group of relics, was the bul- let that wounded E. M. McNeely at the battle of Seven Pines;-May 31, 1862. For a whole day this bullet remained in the breast of Mr. Mc- Neely, For nearly 60 years it has been kept. by the family and will be handed down with human inter- est to the future.

Every fellow thought of himself and his gun, not his saucers. John A. Kennerly took that saucer from this Yankee officer by the| law of war. He failed to get the Yankee but he got his saucer. He carried it throfigh the war and ate out of it every day. Many a timé a strip of side meat.in that saucer has made Mr. Kennerly feel like @ king. But if he had got the Yankee officer—well, we got lots of them.” “Do you see the hole,in that Testament there?” said. Mr. John Cohen, to a crowd of men standing around him. “That old Testament there was to me what Damon was) to Pythias, or Pythias to Damon, | whichever it was. It saved me. It; was to me what the old Grecian’s helmet was to the Grecian’s head. It was to me what the armor is to the battleship. Gentlemen, I be- lieve in it; I doubly believe in it. Why, you know one day when the Yankees were handling their guns in a reckless sort of manner, throw- ing shells and grape shot and min- nie balls and everything else im- aginable into our ranks, that old Testament prolonged my life for nearly 50 years, and I don’t know how much.longer. I’m not nearly dead yet. Had it not been for that Testament in my pocket that minnie ball would Hkely have passed through my body and passed me Into.the next world. Look at that Testament. You see the hole is oearly through. Don’t you know there would have been some tall yelling if that ball had got me? But it didn’t get me. Why, men, after that I tried to carry all the Bibles and Testaments in the ar- my—I always had my pockets stuffed full of Bébles. “Suppose that Testament had not there,” he said, smilingly. “What a good soldier the South would have missed, and what a good husband my wife would have miss- ed, and what a good farmer Iredell county would have missed, and what a good Testament reader the world would have missed.” There were the papers, dated 1863, discharging D. Z. Gray on ac- count of what we then calted con- sumption. Mr. Gray was sick for a long time and the physicians be- lieved that he had tuberculosis and gave him his discharge) Think of it. That was 48 years ago, and this same D. Z. Gray is walking the streets of this city daily, strong, robuet, and in splendid health. He was very sick but he didn’t have consumption. There was the canteen carried by R. W. Lowrance. It is hard. to tell how many mud-puddles this canteen has dipped in, and how Many fallons of water—gdod, bad and indifferent—refreshed its own- er in the days of wear. The poor oid vessel should be kept and cared for for the good it has done. As Mr. Lowrance looked at toils can teen, on Memorial Day, you could readily realize that there was a feeling existing between him and | Confederates to dle bit he used in the cavalry. There was the pistol carried by Ja- cob Freeze, and it was evidently able to do the work, unless it be- trays its Took. Are you interested in a pistol? Not? Well, then, you are interested in the life of a pistol, I suppose. There was the pistol which Augus- tus Leazar carried during the war, and which miany a Yankee fad eause to dread, for if reports of bis comrades be true, and they are, the owner of this pistol could sit down after the close of the war and say, “I did my duty.” He was hard, during those days, on Yan- kees, and his old pistol never missed an opportunity to give them a warm time. He was like Tom Green, the mountain boy, who enlisted toward the latter part of the war. Tom Green became of age in time to fight for his country and he enlisted; he went to the ont; he wanted to fight. That was,he thought,the purpose of war. He soon found an opportunity to show his metal. In the first battle of his experience the Federals held the hill, well fortified with rock walls and covered with cannons. The Confederates held the valley beléw. It was necessary for the storm the hiil. The order was given to charge. Ten thousand men in gray rushed up the hill only to be driven back. Again they rushed forward and again were driven back. The third time the order was given to take the hill. Again the thousands of men in gray eharged that stronghold only to be Tepulsed with great losses. They all retreated to the valley. All? No, not all.. This little fellow, TomGreen, the new soldier,thought the order was to be obeyed, possi- ble or impossible. He rushed up the hill, dodged bullets up to the reck wall,faced the cannon,grabbed aYankee and put theYankee’s head under his arm, pulled him over the wall and down the hill they came to the camp. “Where did you get that Yan- kee?” asked a dozen soldiers. “Up on the hill,” he replied. “Did you go up'there, jump that wall, grasp that, Yankee, pull him over the fence and haul him down here?’ “Certainly I did,” was his reply, “and if you had all done the same thing we would have had the last dad-blasted one of them down here, too.”” He did his duty as he saw it. In this display were pictures of several soldiers, taken in 1861. Among others were those of W. S. Shulenberger and R. 8S. Templeton. J.ike them now? Yes and no. The eyes of Mr. Shulenberger have held their own during the 50 years, but all efse how changed! R. S. Tem- pleton’s picture natural? Yes, very. You would recognize that eye. There was a Bible presented to Mrs. F. S_ .Starrette by a Confed- erate soldier; a violin carried by §. C. Kerley, of Burke, a screw- driver used by W. S. Shulenberger, a purse carried by J. C. Neel, a picture’ of Lieut. R. G.

Bradley, a hand-made ante bellum gun, used to protect the women and children; the bullet that wounded Li; 'N. Culp on May 24, 1864, and many others. There was the élephant skin belt worn by R. G. McAuley when fatal- ly wounded at Chancellorsville, and a picturé of a soldier’s sweetheart picked up on the battlefield by Mr. Shulenberger. His sweetheart at home, her picture gone, and war, war, war! Poor fellow. Troubles within and troubles without. There was J. Y. Templeton’s sword, an army cap worn by John R.

Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Steele at Cool Spring was the scene of a pretty marriage when their daughter, Sudie, became the bride of Mr. Lloyd Troutman. Previous to the ceremony a piano solo, “I Have Something Sweet to Tell You,” was rendered by Mrs. D. P. Sartin,|* Promptly at the hour named, to the strains ofMeadelssohn’s wedding march, the bridal party entered the parlor, preceded by the little flower girls, Misses Virginia Reece and Clara Henley, who carried bas- kets of white roses. Then entered the bride with the maid of honor, her sister, Miss Katie Lou Steele, and joined the groom, who was ac- companied by his brother, Mr. Fur- ches Troutman, as best map. The flower girls and attendants took their places on each side, while the bride and groom stood directly in front of a beautiful arch of ivy and roses, from which was suspend- ed a wedding bell of daisies. The “Flower Song” was played softly while the impressive ceremony which made.them husband and wife was pronounced by Rev. W:'S, Wilhelm, after which the bridal party left the room to the music of the wedding march from Lohengrin. The bride wore a beautifal travel- ing suit of tan with accessories to match and carried white carnations and maiden.-hair ferns, while the maid of honor was gowned in tan lege, Greensboro.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTER There are four of them now and the ecutries are not closed. “You pays your money and you takes your choice.” * Senator Simmons has felt called on to deny reports, circulated about the State, that he is interested with Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, in Yand deals in eastern North Caroli- pa and the West; and that he has grown rich since he was made Sen- ‘ator. The Senator's statement is pripted in another, column. He is mot interested in’ any land deals with Lorimer, he says, and financial ly he is not so well off as when he went to the Senate. The Land- weark. bas heard it charged that (1) Senator Simmons is largely in-. terested in timber lands in eastern North Carolira and that this fact imfinenced his vote against free lumber; (2) that some time ago SenatorLorimer made a trip to east- ern North Carolina, either in com- pany with Senator Simmons or at his instance, and invested in a shingle mill; and (3) that the Sen- ator had become very wealthy since he went to the Senate, The Land- mark didn’t take these reports se- riously, but it is well that Senator Simmons has entered denial. s 7 s Last week an automobile party —4ncluding quite a bunch of auto- mobiles—went on what they called @ “reliability run” from Greensboro to Henderson. En route they passed through Durham, and without re- spect to speed laws some of them, to show the Durham folks just what a Greensboro auto could do, yan through the Bull city at) the wate of 45 to 60 miles the hour, with the resuk that a vehicle was smashed and two autos collided. Then the Durham police got, busy and when the fly Greensboro folks bad paid for damaged property and contributed $75 to the school fund | théy were allowéd to go their ways. | Oontrary to the usual custom, the} Greensboro papers did not denounce | Rhe Durham officials and allége that the arrest was a frame-up and hold-up to rob a party of inno- cent Greensboro tourists, the same being prompted by envy, jealousy, etc. On the contrary Col. Jo. Reece of the Greensboro Record, chuckled with ghoulish glee and observed that if the Durham recorder should be a candidate for office he could count on very strong help in Greensboro. From all of which it appeared that gome of the Greensboro reliability Tunners caught at Durham what they deserved -at home, which is more than often the case. s. s s As was to have been expected, the announcement that smallpox quar- antine has been abolished, so far Nps the State health laws are con- cerned, and that folkecan take their choice of vaccination or smallpox, _ kas aroused no smal] amount of crit- iciam. However, there is nothing prevent the health authorities o esounties, cities and towns putting @n quarantine regulations if they are willing to stand for the expense. While the abolition of the quaran- tine will probably work hardships, fm some cases, for a time at least, @here is much to be said in favor of the new arrangement. The Landmark must confess that it contemplates With satisfaction the embarrassment of that large class of people who, wheh smallpox appears in a locality, Proceed to ridicule the idea that the disease is smallpox,notwithstand- ing the diagnosis of competent phys- icians; who profess to believe that vaccination is more dangerous than smallpox and hence refuse to be vac- cinated; and who, from pure cuseed- mess, give the health authorities al! the trouble possible. We want to see it put up to this class of people to take care of themselves. The trouble, however, is that while punishing a class that deserves pun-| ishment, many innocent people, es- pecially children, will be made to e@uffer. “Something terrible is going to happen in this country, observes patch, and the @anger ts thus forecast: The latest thing to keep the coun try awake o’nights is the adoption | the Wisconsin Legislature memorializing Congress an provide for an amendment to the} wf a resolution by eonustitution prohibiting polygamy DbecauseasAssemblyman Gettle,’ pro- | gressive Republican, the author of tional Bank of Fayetteville, the resolution, declares: “The Mor- Who pleaded guilty to embezzlement, mons are endeavoring to get control| President Taft decided that Fee- It is said that as @ result of the of this country by the use of mon-|n¢ey must serve some time in jail, |dog law in Ashe county, placing a ey.” In his opinion, “the influ-|even though he has to undergo @ |tax of $1 on each dog, scores of the ence of the Mormon Church jg |course of medical treatment to worthiess animals were slain be- greater than that of Wall Street, strengthen himself for the ordeal. fore the tax assessors called. with which it is allied, as is |Feeney was sentenced to five years. ——— ghown by the seating of Senator | He is 69 years old and said to be HOW’s THIS * omoet i, (Phyaiciane testified that lonk| Wega’ aay" care. of tar tint, oe Deacon Hemphill, however, takee imprisonment would be fatal.

To tre Editor of The Landmark: Although it is a little late, I want to say through your columns, and to you, Mr. Editor, who fought ° I am glad you have given purtic- ity through the columns of your paper to these unfounded statement because it gives me an opportunity to answer them. I wish to say to you,and through you to the people of North Carolina that it is not true that I am in- terested with Senator Lorimer in any land deal in eastern North Car- olina, nor am I interested with him in any Western land deals. I have never hed a business transaction with him in my life. I own no in- terest with him in any property of any kind and never have. I presume these rumors or re- ports have grown out of the fact that Senator Lorimer and Mr. Low den, a son-in-law of George E. Pull- man, together with certain 6ther Western gentlemen, as a result of conversations with me and investi- gations made by them through the Agricultural Department as to ewamp and overflowed lands in eastern North Carolinaat different times during the past winter, either in person or through their repre- sentatives, visited and caused to be examined quite a number” of tracts of swamp and pocosin lands lying in the eastern part of the State, including several large tracts | owned by theJohnL.Roper Compa- | ay and the lands of Wilkinson Bros.) near Belhaven about which so much has been written in the North Car- olina papers, also a tract of pocosin swamp land lying near New Berne, in which Mr. Thomas D. Warr and Mr. A. D. Ward own an tnterest. But these gentlemen, as a result of their investigations, did not find any land which was sufficiently at- tractive to them as an investment, and there the whole matter fina:. ended. Mr. Lorimer and Mr.Lowden were led to investigate these lands large ly as the result of my statements to them as to their fertility, cheap ness and the feasibility of their reclamation to advantage: Mr. Low- den is a man of large fortune as | so valiantly for the road bonds, that I was so delighted when, on the morning of the 10th, I bought a copy of the Charlotte Observer on the train .and saw that the bond issue had carried by such a nice majority.

They have had little rain during the winter. I am so glad to note through your ndents that the wheat crop in Iredell is looking well.

Gave His Life to Save His Friend. Near Walhalla, 8S. C., a few days ago, William Reihle, a German cit- izen aged about 60 years,was having his well cleaned. Fritz Muller, a neighbor’s son about 20 years old, was lowered in a bucket to the bottom of the well. ,Immediately he gave a signal to be drawn up. Shortly after he was started on his way to the surface the bucket shot up and the men above realized that young Muller had fallen from his place back into the. depths of the well. stepped Mr. Reihle into the |bucket and dirceted his companions |to lower him quickly. On reaching |the bottom he tied Muller into the |bucket and he was drawn out searcely alive. Reihle,but there was Another man .went |}down and it was found that Mr. the Richmond Times-Dis-|Reihle had been overcome by gases | well and his dead body | the |was shortly thereafter brought to ithe surface.

The doctors said they could get their patient in understand and Mr. Lorimer is at the head of one of the largest con- struction and drainage corporations in the West. This matter first became a ject of conversation and distusifd between Mr. Lorimer and myself in connection with our duties as mem- bers of the National Waterways Commission, which has to do with drainage as well as navigation, and the fact that I kmew of his large interest in the subject of drainage. For some time I have been deep- ly interested in the drainage of our easternNorthCarolina swamp lands, having attended and addresssed conventions called for the purpose of consideriing that subject, which I believe to be, outaide of govu roads, the most important ques- tion now before the people of my section of the State. I have not only done everything I could to promote this drainage movement both by ag- itation and endeavoring to induce capital to invest in these swamp lands and reclaim them, but I have been active in trying to secure leg- islation providing government aid for draining them. During the last session of Congress over $30,000 was added to the appropriation for surveying, mapping, etc. these lands at my instance. In this connection it may be well for me to answer another charge which I understand is being cireu- lated throughout the State with a view to discrediting me. It has come tome by correspondence and other- wise that it is being quietly but diligently circulated in sections of the State where mg financiat con- dition is not kmown, as in the town and section in which I live, that I am a millionaire and that 1 have become such since J entered the Senate. Now the fact is, as is well) known in the city where 1 live, that practically everything | own is in lands, chiefly farming lands, and I am sorry to say that practi- cally all of these lands, including even my home, is mortgaged, or pledged by way of reservation of ti- itle,. for fully half of their valye taken altogether. . Outside of the farm which my fa- | ther, who died since I became a |member of the Senate, left me, I am | worth today less than I was when I was elected to the Senate.

Attorney General of North Carolina, was such an ex- cellent production,presented in such a unique and original manner, that it stands in a clase to itself—e clase that belongs to Bickett and Bickett alone--and the reporter feels ' his inabijity in attempting to give a summary of it. No other man in North Carolina can say things as Mr. Bickett says them. Introduced by Supt. Thompson as “a man who can talk; a gentleman who ¢an talk much, talk weil, says something when he talks, says much when he talks,” Mr. Bickett began by saying to his hearers that when some weeks ago your honored sup- erintendent sent me the invitation to address tlis.audience on-this oc- casion my feelings were akin to those of the timid maiden of 40 odd summers who was asked a moment- ous question by a gay widower of 60 odd wicters, and this maiden of blushes and charming bashfulness replied ‘that she had never learned to say uo. I confess that when- ever the duties I owe to the public do not forbid, I haven’t the heart to refuse the invitation of an ineti- tution which has as its object the intellectual emancipation of the youth of the State.

How to feed, in |peace or war, is ever a grave and pore ctete question. I am reminded of the saintly old preacher who was in his study diligemtly preparing nis Sunday sermon when his wife jsaddenly burst into the room and hurriedly and excitedly told him of her troubles. She had expected that only she and he would be there that day and had prepared for |them to have only a nice little cold { | dinner, but now eight or ten visit- jors had come in just on the eve jot the dinner hour and she had nothing for their dinner. The min- | ister turned to his wife in disgust eps asked why, she should trouble him with such a trivial matter {when he was so busily engaged in |solving the problems of the age. |Then the woman rose up in her might and rage and cried out: ‘If you will come down in the kitch- en and solve the problem of what to have for dinner, F’ll stay up here Real EstateFor Sale Thirteen and three-eighths acres adjoining lot on which the Mt.

I insist that every child in North Carolina receive such a moral and spiritugl training that he can earn his owh living. What a scene the world presents when it goes forth to make its bread. Truly in the ability to make a living is involved something higher than the living itself. The grinding of hopeless poverty tends to degrade. It is impossible for man to attain [to the highest things in life without money. It takes the sweetness out of life to be unable to pay for its necessities. It takes more courage for a man to face a line of credit- ors with an empty pocketbook than it does to storm a fortress. It makes a man a better citizen and neighbor to feel that he has emough for a living and a little to spare—the glorious privilege of be- ing independent. The true man loves to support himself and carry others on his shoulder and when he realizes that he can’t laughter leaves his voice and brightnesss leaves his eyes. Too often this misery deepens until it leads the Man into crime. He was not es- sentially vicious. It is everiastingty true that man can't live by bread alone, but bread is a necessity; hence I insist on industrial educa- tion, The man, who knows how is the man'of the hour. We have heard of the successful manufac- turer Who; eald that his business First we should have the} Ponty said hig business was serving God, but he served God. in his business of making buggies; be was a@ good buggy-maker and I dare aay his buggies were the best. If he had not been a good buggy-maker the people would not have believed him and bought his buggies. God loves a good job and in all the vast workshop of His we find no botch- ing. The older I get ‘the more beauty I see in Longfellow’s “Vil- lage Blacksmith.” But how can we increase this earuing capacity or ‘dividend ca- pacity? A man who recently died iu New York and left millions hon- estly made in the manufacture of eugines, was once asked by a com- petiior why he always received five eents more on the-pound for his en- gides than did his competitors. The successful engine-maker gave as the reason the fact that along with gach pound of steel he mixed five cells’ worth of brains, That’s the proposition which confronts North Carolina today. We must teach all to add to the raw material five cents’ worth of brains. We have a glorious cHmate in which can be growu the finest types of men and women, and we also have the raw Material. With our rich soils and original forests, our mountains and hills of minerals and ores, and our great and inexhaustible water pow- er, truly in North Carolina the harvest is great and the laborers few Why have we had such mar- velous growth in cotton mills re- cently? It is because we have ev- ery advantage of climate, raw ma- teria! an! labor. But we do not have the skilled labor to manu fac- ture the finest grades of goods. If we train our young men to be textile experts it will not be long till none can compete with us. I am giad that we are now doing some- thing along that line. The A. and M. College at Raleigh is training Many young men for effickency in this work, und the Spray School of Technology is preparing to do fine work along this line. 1 was a mem ber of the Legislature which estab- lished this school and made @ speech in favor of the bill. While I was speakiug 30me member from back up in the mountains broke in and requested that the member | from Franklin please tell what al school of technology is. I yelled back that it was a school to train our people how to make silk out jo! cotton Then the fellow said jhe was in favor of the bill. We jhave been furnishing raw material to make others rich; we've been content to simply carry the mate- rial to the skilied labor. To sell to them for $10 and buy the same thing back for $iv0 is financial sui- cide Thné reason we haven’t been we dead loug ago i8 not because haven't done euough to kill us, but because of our amazing vitality. It is not the great protective tariff, of which you have pces’bly heard, that has sapped our people; it is this tariff on our own raw material after it has-been mabttfactured and Made reudy fer use by the trained minds of the North.

Qur farmers are now beginning to learn some; they have learned that they can double the size of an ear of corn by adding a little thought. They have found brains to be the Most valuable agricultural imple- ment. The greatest of all sciences is that which converts a gulley into @ granary, and that is what the Mer is doing today by mixing brai.e with his work. The young farmer is being trained to use the modern improved methods of farm- ing. ‘Look at the boys of the corn clubs: who made an average of Over 60 bushels of corn to the acre while their daddies mdae only 18. I’m looking for much from the Boys’ Corn Clubs. That’s not a _ very high-sounding name is it? Not like the Daughters of the American Rev- olution and the Colonial Dames, is it? No, the corn club boy is just a plain, one-gallus boy, standing with an ear of corn in his hand, but his figure rises before me as a Prophecy of prosperity. When all the boys make yields like the,corn club boy there won't be a lien on 80 Many crops apd mortgages on farms. I pray that I may live to gee the day when a crop lien is a curiosity in North Carolina. The trquble about many of our schools is that instead of training for work they train from work. I believe in training for efficiency in the work the boys and girla are to do. The negro should be taught in- dustrially altogether. He is ever to be an industrial laborer.

Anyhow, as the Statesville Land- mark will récognize, he bears a zood = =Iredell § county name.— Charlotte Observer. Thus far the Iredell Stimsons, so far as The Landmark knows, have Made no claim to kinship with the Secretary of War. The connection would confer no special distinction ou thém,but if the Secretary is kin to the Irede!l) Stimsons it is a mat- ter of importance to him, for it means that he comes from the right ®ort of folks. Ff Complaint is made of the drought . 4a Columbus county and the people have become so anxious that meet- dogs have been held to pray for ‘yain. The Whiteville correspondent of the Wilmington Star, however, quotes a Columbus county farmer who takes a cheerful view. His mame is James M. Shipman and he Says he has never known a failure ©f cfops in Columbus as a4 result of dry weather. Mr. Shipman further’ depoeces and says he remembers “one year when on the 4th of June no cotton was up, but rain came and he made an excellent crop. al) the same.” A late start sometimes means a8 good or a better crop than an early start, but for the late crop much depends on the fa)) Reason. —_—_—_ Speaking of the effort to reopen the case of Senator Lorimer, of Il- Minois, the Charlotte Chronicle says that whether Lorimer knew at the time of his election that money Was corruptly used “he now has knowledge that money was corruptly wsed to secure his election and he whould relieve his friends in the Senate—for he has friends there -—Of further embarrassment, by re- signing his seat. No honest man would hold a public offite which he knows was attained by bribery,even though he was in no way a Party we to it.” That’s correct and the fact that Lorimer still holds on, despite the revelations of corruption, is pretty good evidence that he is not 2s honest as some of the, Senators who voted to retain him j the Sen- ate had thought him. ————_=__—_ In this part of the country, where Probibition prevails, we are Mkely to get the impression that con- ~ Mexico-Arizona Statehood > aa Washington Dispatch, 23d.’ The jolat resolution admitting Arizona and New Mexico to immedi- ate Statehood, but withholding ap- proval of the constitution of both States until the people, have voted on certain proposed amendments to them, passed the House of Repre- sentatives this afternoon, by a vi- va vote vote.

On a pre- ceding motion to*recommit the res- olution, made by Republican Leader Mann, 31 Republicans voted’ with the Democrats, defeating the mo- lion 214 to 67, The resolution requires Arizona tc vote on an amendment removing the recall provision as it applies to judges, and requires New Mexico to vote on an amendment making its constitution more easily amendable in the future. Neither State is requir- ed to adopt the amendments propos- ed by Congress. Whether they are approved or rejected by the proposed referendum, the titutions of the hew States will stand’ finally ap- proved whep the respective votes have been taken. The resolution passed in the form Proposed by theDemocratic majority of the committce on Territories. Ef- forts were made by the Republi- cans to force Arizona to vote out of its .copatitution the recall of judges, and to give immediate and unqualified approval] to the New Mexican constitution. Both provis- fons were rejected. The Democrats declared that the Proposal! to force Arizona to reject the recal] was an effort to keep that State out of the Union. Not- withstanding this attitude, heading Democrata bitterly denounced the recall of judges during the after- noon’s debate; while Republican in- surgents refuged to join Minority Leader Manu in the proposal force Arizona to give it up. Fatal Shooting Near Mocksville— , Other News. Correspondence of The Landmark. Mocksville, May 23—A series of meetings closed at the ' Baptist church Sunday night. The pastor was assisted by_Rev. S. W. Hall, of Kast Bend, who did some very ef- fective preaching. As a visible re- sult there were five professions of faith. We learn from a reliable source that Mocksville is soon to have an- other flouring mill, with Mr. J. P. Green and others as promoters. We weicome all such enterprises. The Mocksville Furniture Co, hes closed down. for a week or ten days to make some heeded repairs. Hotel Swicegood has just added anew coet of paint, which adds greatly to its appearance. A very sad accident occurred about two miles from Mocksville last Saturday afterneon. Mr.Martin Summers and his five-year-old grand son had gone to a nearby creek to fish, carrying with them not only the necessary equipment of hook and line, but also a. 22-claibre rifle. While Mr. Summers was getting ev- erything ir readiness to a fishing the little boy accid tally discherged the gun, the bullet gierc- ing the abdomen of the unfortunate man, At this writing Mr. Summers sumption of alcoholic liquors is de- creasing. The report of the tem- perance committee made to the Northern Presbyterian General As- sembly in session at Atlantic City, finds, however, that “there is an elarming increase in the use of al- coholic liquors in the United States.” “The per capita drink bill in the| year 1910,” continues the report, “was $24.17, Multiplying this by 4.- im is in extremis and cannot survive but a short time.

This estimate falls a little below the figures given by ex-Gov. Gienn in his address in Statesville last Sunday, but it is large enough. —_——— | Stanhby Blockaders in a ce Stronghold.

The man who doesnot honor -his profession is dishonored by the profession. I never» have quite understood why we have the professional man and the laboring man; why the preachers, lawyers, doctors and teachers are called professional men while the farmers, mechanics and others in thé “49-' dustr‘4] life are called laboring “wer. I don’t know why the first named are professionals and the second laborers unless it is because the one is always professing. te do sumethiag while the other goes ahead and does things without making any professions. The man who makes a chair is worthy of ag much consideration as one whq makes. a sermon. We need to get away from the false notion about the meaning of success; we are tired of that kind of doctrine. And women are not altogether bilame- less in the establishment of these false standards of: manhood. The young woman will be all smiles to the dudish young fellow behind the counter with his hair parted in the middie and will fail to notice the bright, industrious young farmer. But deny it as they may, and lie as they wili, every man who is worth .the dest he “is made of dreams that he will be just the fellow some woman is looking for. Yes, the standards of - American manhood are in the hands of Amer- ican womanhood and for that reas- cu I believe them safe.

Base- float the Stars and Bars.’’ if souie of the boys were as nimble | At the session of the Presbyterian General Assembly (North), in’ At- lantic City, N. J., the report of the committee on Sabbath observance denounced the desecration of the Lord’s Day in Washington in the following report: | , “The cap.tal of our country has no Sunday jaw and because of the city’s prominence in our national life should receive our first atten- tion. On Sunday retail stores are open in many parta of the city, building operations and street re- pairs go on according to the will of the contractor, newspapers «are published both morning and. after- noon aud are carried out through the street3 as on other days.

Nearly every Sunday sees a half ‘dozen emart breakfasts at the Chevy Chase club and an equal number of big dinner parties, also match golf games un- der the supervision of the club.”’ In treating the Washington case the committee should have paid its respects, in no uncertain terms, to the President, cabinet ministers, members of Congress and other government officials who do busi- ness on Sunday same ak’ any other day.

C. did not begin with President Taft s—not only transacte government business on Sunday which is not a work of necessity,but holds political conferences at the White House, travels on Sunday and does other things that are an open and unneces- sary violation of the sanctity of the Sabbath. The President setting the example, business that could easily be transacted on other days is often transacted in the govern- ment departments on Sunday; ans Congress, which wastes time world without end, frequently holds ses-~ sions on Stinday. It is hardly worth while to denounce the tradespeople and the society folks without be- ginning at the fountain head, and this is where the nerve of the Pres- | byterians failed. The President could revolutionize Sunday observ- ance in Washington if he would set the example. it seems, however, there is an- other side and Washington may not be as bad as painted. ‘‘Washington presents one of the most peaceful village scenes on Sunday that you could fitid tn any big city in the United States. I know personally that the @aloons are closed and say there’ is wholesale vielation ofthe excise law is untrue, but as untrue as it is, it is even more foolish than false.’” This was the response of Maj. Richard Sylvester, ehief of police of Washington, to the charge that Washington is “wide open’ on Sundays and that it is a horrible example of Sab- bath desecration for the rest of the United States, as incorporated in a report edopted by the Presbyte rian General Assembly now in ses- Sion at Atlantic City. But the fact remains that recently Asso- ciate Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, charged publicly that Washington was large- ly given to social affairs on Sun- flay and the charge was not denied; and it is also true that the Presi- dent.and other government officials transact unnecessary bysiness on Sunday. Gadger Said Stars and Bars Instead of Stars amd? Stripes. Washington Dispatch, 19th. The Stars and Bars of the Confed- erate flag figured in the House of Representatives today. Members who picked up the Congressional Record were surprised to find at the conclu- sion of a speech by Representative Gudger, of North Carolina, on Cana- dian reciprocity the following: “In a great country like ours, stretching from ocean to ocean, from lakes to gulf, embracing within its limits every kind of soil, capable of producing everything used by men, the trade privileges of the greatest government on earth’ should be re- jtained and used for the people who The attention of the House was called to the language by Representa- tive Kendall, of Iowa. Mr. Gudger said his reference to the Stars and Bars was merely a ‘‘slip of the tongue’”’ and the mistake was corrected in the official record of the House. ; (Now the G. A. R. camps will point with alarm to this evidence of disloy- alty in the South and it will probab be charged that Mr. Gudger and others are lying in wait to overthrow the government. Mr. Gudger said by way ofexplanation: ‘I must have been thinking, when I wrote that sentence, of the brave and patriotic people of the South and hence referred to the flag that waved in all thatsection from 1861 to 1865.

Christians of America are sending missionaries here to tell these peo- ple of the Lord and lead them to believe on His name, but what are we among so many! How we need to pray and foil among them! We are, however, only a handful among hundreds of thousands of heathen of whom only a few have heard of the Lord, and yet men of promise if only led into His salvation. How we need the prayers of Christian peoplé;-and more men are needed to come here and help in the work Since the plague came and has been carrying away ite hundreds, the missionaries here could not car- ry on work among the people, but now as the disease seems to be abaiing we are prayingand planning revival among th: Christians which will be far-reachin: in its scope and regults. One of the practices of theChinese of this section which it is hard for a new missionary to become ac -icustomed to, is the failure on the p-rt of thé Chinese to bury ~ their the/children. All who die under the age of 12 years are placed out in the fields or in some other secluded place to be devoured by the dogs A child is thought to have no sou! until seven years old and they are not buried if under twelve. 1 remem- ber that on that beautiful moonkight night last October,whenMrs. Leon- ard and I were coming into Laich- owfu for the first time, having landed on the beach ten miles away, I noticed an opening into an old Ghi- nese grave by the road side @pd asked br. J. M. Gaston about it. He stopped lorg- enough to tell + that when one of the lady missiona« ries passed there some weeks before she saw a baby that had been thrown back iuto the hole. The dogs had not found it and the foreign lady wanted to Lave it buried but dared not) When at Chefoo I saw *|on one of the hills near that city a small temple to which are carried babies—usually pirls —that are left there to die, the parents not caring tiuch for them, and doubtless there 18 in tne practice an element of sac- rifice to the pods But children are nut put there so frequently now as formeriy, due to the teachings of the missioraries The children that die in the Leichowfu district are given to the dogs; leaving live children exposed to die seems not to be practiced here. Some days past I was taking my h- | usual run before breakfast—to main ty,|tain a strong body while studying the language. I came upon a roll of tags in the snow on the side of a gully. Upen looking into the rags 1 was not surprised to find the bright face of a Chinese child about a year old. I breathed a sigh and a prayer and left the body there.

These people are at heart not vicious or mean, but it is their heathen religion and general super- stition that holds them in darkness They are in bondage to the devil, and so hard a taskmaster is he that when they understand the gospel of Christ and become free there is a change as marvelous as some of those mentioned by Mr. Begbie in his “Twice+<Born Men.”’ Soon after coming here I was im- pressed with the brightness in the faces of the Chinese Christians, a brightness not seen on the counte- nances of other Chinese. Im an au- dience of Christiaus and non-Chris- tians one can pick out those whose religion. There is, too, a marked difference in the personal appear- ance and genera) bearing of the children of Christian and heathen parcuts as seen in the Sunday schools. The reason the Chinese do not bury small children is due to th teaching of their eathen religion and superstitious ideas. They be- Heve that if the child is buried wo more children will be born into the family. hospitalandis an excellent young man of much intelligence. When the child died he asked that it be| given a Christian burial, though the parents knew they would be re- viled. After it had been placed in @ neat little coffin and buried in the family graveyard, heathen friends of the parents persecuted them and predicted that the gode would not allow any more children | to be born tothem. Recently, how- ever, a little boy came into the | home, and this was only another proof to the heathen that their re-| ligion is false. } The fuilure to bury children is one of the most hninding customs | of the Chinese. The instances given | above is a good exatuple of Chris- | tian fortitude us seen among Chi- nese Christians here. This Mr. Dru | has been bitterly persecuted for s5ev- eral years, not only py Chinese in | geucral but by hos futher.

Suspected of Polsoning His Wife— First Investigation Disclosed No Byidence of Foul Play But Later Evidence Caused the Arrest—In- vestigation to Be Continued Today Rettbhen Combs, whose young wife ‘was found dead, in the vicinity of their home, in Stony Point neighbor- hood, early Friday morning, was arrested yesterday aftern oon by Sher iff Deaton and brought to missi jail. While the evidence at the inquest Friday disclosed nothing to indicate foul play, Combs was sus- pected and evidence later discovered prompted the arrest. Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Dea- ton, Coroner Moose, Drs. A. Camp- bell and E. M. Yount went to Stony Point, the coroner's jury was reas- sembied, Mrs. Combs’ body taken from the grave and a postmortem made. The stomash will he sent to a chemist for analysis of its contents and until this is done it can not be definitely said that death was due to poison, as is suspected. The coroner’s inquest will be con- Cinmed in Statesville today. It is understood that there is evidence that Combs talked with an acqaint- ance Sunday before his wife’s death about buying poison and how to Preceed about it, and that poison was a weed him at Stony Poipt : on Wi y before his wife’s death on Friday. : The following story of the hearing Friday represents the case as it then appeared: That there wag no evidence of fout play in the case of the death of Mrs. Reuben Combs, who was found dead in the yard of her home near Stony Point. early Friday m: as mentioned in Friday's Landmark, and that the young woman died from natural causes unknown to the jury, were findings of the coroner's jury which held an iqaest over the body. his testimony at the inquest . Reuben Combs said that his) wife hoed cotton all day Thursday, against his wishes, he knowing that she was not well, but she seemed to be in her usual health when they retired Thursday night. About 4.45) o'clock Friday he awoke and was surprised to find that his wife had left the bed and room. Hurriedly dressing searched the house and called her, but received no response. He then began a search of the prem- ises and was horrified when he founc her Mfeless body lying in a cow pen about 75 yards from the house. She was barefooted and dressed in her night clothes, and when he felt her cold hands Mr. Combs realized that life was extinct. Taking the body in his arms and at the same time: calling for help, Mr. Combs started to the house, but after going about half the distance he laid the body on the ground and ran to the home of his father, Mr. N. H. Combssome distance awayand gave the alarm. Others in the neighbor- hood had heard his calls and within a few minutes several neighbors, in. addition to his father, were on the scene. It was decided not to move the body untilan inquest could be held and it was left in the yard where the husband placed it. Dr. Campbell made a thorough ex amination of_the body but found no evidence of injury. Sheriff Deaton insisted on a post mortem but the physician and coroner did not think it necessary. The only marks on the body were a tiny bruise on the head near the right eye and a barely visi- ble mark on the throat. The throat ‘was opened by the physician and it was found that the mark was purely surface and that the throat had by no means been hurt. The physician -announced his opinion that the young woman had been aeized with heart trouble, had left the house if a aemi-conscious condi- tion and after wandering about the premises had gone into the cow pen.and lay down, dying there with- out a struggle. Her countenance showed that she had closed her eyes and died peacefully. Her barefoot tracks showed that she had gone to the spring, a short distance away, and had come back toward the house across a newly plowed field. Dr. Campbell saya that it is probable that she was in such a dazed condi- tion that she thought she was go- ing into the hotize when she entered the cow pen. A atick was found near the young woman’s dead body. A few days previous this stick had been driven into the ground in the yard and no one had knowledge of its having been broken off at the ground until it was found lying near where the body was found. is possible that the young woman caught hold of the ote to support herself and broke it off. The neighbors say that Mr. and Mrs. Combs were unusually devot- od to each other and that t land the DRAINAGE AGAIN, Mr. Jemkims Cites the Story of the Leek fn the Wheat Ffeld—Hoaw A meeting of landowners interested in the drainage of Fourth creek was hela at the court house Saturday. Mesers. R. A. Cooper, Jno M. Sharpe and H. Burke were elected drainage commissioners: "g re was some discussion of buying a drege for the work and it Wee suggested thet the cgunty com- jonefs be further pressed to aid in the work, the idea—which has heretofore been presented. to the commissioners—being to geff the county to buy the dredge and rent it to the parties interested. Mr. D. F. Jenki'nz expressed the opinion that the work would be done when the landowners go in their pockets, buy the dredge and proceed to business. So long as they wait tor help, con- tinued Mr. Jenkins, they will be in the position of the lark in the wheat fieid, as recorded in the old school books. A lark had nested and hatched her young in the wheat. Abouf the time the wheat was ripe the owner of the field and his son red and decided they would ask t kindred to help them begin the reaping next day. That night when the mother lark returned from a foraging trip the young larks were greatly excited) They told end-—insisted that their home must be moved at once to get out of the way of the reapers. But the | bird didn’t think the reaping would begin next day and it didn’t. The owners of the field appeared and waited but no help came. Then they decided they would ask their neigh- bors for help and begin next day. Again the young larks told the mother bird of the prospect of their nest being disturbed, but the lark refused to be alarmed. Gay the reaping did not begin, for the neighbors did not appear. Then the old man and his son decid- ed they would begin next day them- selves. Whes-the mother lark heard her 2 this news ahe began to move house. Most of those present agreed with Mr. Jenkins and it was decided to ask for bids from contractors who 4 furnish a dredge,or who will ‘the work with the dredge fur- nished. Mr. Jenkins has the cor- rect idea ot Seeop ation. ae persons . n drainage pe. been eat mocenly for a year inaries bkve been is tmp: work will begin until those interest- ed jay hold and start it. Kis a great work and one of general im- be given all possible encouragement. But it looks ke the work will not begin until those directly interested lay hold and go ahead. County Singing Saturday—South River Won the Prize. While the attendance was not quite as large as usual, enthusiasm on the part of the singers and their hearers was not lacking at the coum- ty singing held in the court house Saturday. There was singing by the entire company and there was singing by the different classes and individuals, all the music being of what is usually called ‘‘old-time mel- odies.”’ Four classes participated in the coutest for the prize, viz: Shiloh, led by Prof. Biggerstaff; Damascus, Mr.C.8.Johnson leader; South Riv- er, Mr. Walter Privett leader, and Coneord, Mr. H. S. Dagenhradt,lead- er. The last-named class was from Alexander. Each ofthe classes sang six selections and in making their decision the judges took one hundred as an average and voted on each of the selections individually. Their figures showed thatSouthRiver was the winner and the prize, a_ gold watch chain, was presented to the South River leader, Mr. Walter Privett, the presentation being made by Mr. Z..V. Long. The rating of the classes was Concord 100%, Shi- loh 101,Damascus 101% South Riv- er 102%. The judges were Mesars. J. W. Van Hoy, H. L. Troutman, R. A. Levan, E. QO. Shaver and Mr. Sides. During the day Mr. 8. C. Johnson, the president of the Iredell County Singing Association, Mr. Z. V. Long and Mr. R. B. McLain made talks on music in which they commended the classes present and urged that other classes be organized. While Saturday's was the regular annual siuging for the year, another county event will be held the fourth Satur- day in September. —_—_—_—eeeoC0— not in accordance with the wishes of the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Beard, of Concord town- ship. Because of the objections to her marriage the young woman, wh was only 16 years old, eloped to South Carolina with young Combe, in February, and the marriage took place in the Palmetto State. The husband {s only about 18 years old and it is understood that the prin- cipal objection to the marriage was on account of the age of the couple. The parents of both young peeple were present at the inquest and all declared that they had never heard of any discord in the home of the newly-wedded pair. The tragic death of the young wife was a distressing shock to all. The funeral service and burial of Mrs. Combs took place at Stony Point Saturday. John C.

Statesville Man a Star Ball Player. The sporting editor of the Char- lotte Chronicle has the following reference to Mr. Frank Cooper, of Statesville: “The friends and baseball. public in general will be interested to know that Mr. Frank Cooper, who Played star ball for Trinity College for the past three years, has accept- ed a proposition from the New York Americans and will report at once ‘Coop,’ as he is known to the base- ball world, was chosen heads and shoulders above all others, as ‘Al! Southern’ center fielder. He led the Trinity team in batfing with a grand average of .417, besides car- rying off the laurels in fielding and basé running. In 27 games he had a total of 27 stolen bases to his credit—a remarkable record. It is hard for a youngster to break in- to a game this late in the season and land a permanent berth, but Cooper has the credentials and should give some one’a run for ap outfield position on the team.” Meeting in Interest of Colored Re- form School.

He sayé: There left the earth for the Happy Land, on Tuesday night, May 16, a woman who was not kaown to many people in this world, but who was well acquainted in the other. She was a modest and retiring little body, but potsessed qualities of mind and heart that belong only to the favored few. Her death was beautiful, As her children sat about her bedside they noticed a strange silence. Without one sign of struggle she slipped away. Her going caused no commotion. Her end was perfect peace. She died @s she had lived. It was fitting that a life so unobtrusive and 80 gentle should close serenely.

Well, while we «contemplate this possible . glorious peace, along comes Col.

Swords may de beaten into ploughshares and @pears into pruning hooks, and the mations of the earth may learn war no more, but the schoo} house and church rows, the fusses over the backyard fence about the nefghbors* thickens or the neighbors’ children, the location of the public road and “the land line, all these and some more will abide with us forever.

Article 3, sec- tion 17, provides thay ‘‘the General Assembly shall estabNsh a Depart- ment of Agriculture\ Immigration and Statistics, under \such regula- tions as may best proimote the ag- ricultural interests of the State, vand shall enact laws for the ade- quafe protection and encouragement efsheep husbandry.’’ This mention o mutton is doubtless due to the fact that the constitution of 1868, under which we now live,was largely adopt- ed from the one then in vogue in Ohio,which was,and still is, a great Bheep-growing State.

It is dreadful, they think, ‘that such barbarism tan exist in America. And yet in the cities, with the thou sands of law officers and all the machinery of the courts, schools, churches and libraries and all the outward marks of the highest forms of civilization, the worst forms of lawlessness exist. The cities, in- deed, are the hotbeds of-crime and anarchy. The following dispatch of the 24th from New York city is a case in point: ¢ : United States Marshal Henkle and armed deputies were summoned hastily by telephone to the Federal building late today to act as a bodyguard for Judge Holt, of the United States Circuit Court, who had just sentenced three counter- feiters to imprisonment for teruis ag gregating 35 years. The marshal and bis deputies found half a hun- dred friends of the prisoners in the corridors in angry mood, follow- ing the failure of an attempt they had made to force their way into the judge’s chambers. The feputies dispersed the crowd and escorted thé- judge from the building. No at- tempt was made to molest him. The three men sentenced were: Pietro Lombardo, Salvatore Romano and Pietro Meggio,who pleaded guilty to a charge of counterfeiting. This attempt to attack a judge who had sentenced prisoners for vi- olation of the law was made ip the heart of the greatest city in the country. Officers of the law in the cities are constantly threatened for enforcing the law and often the threats are carried into execution. Such occurrences in the rural dis- tricts are rare, but when they do eceur it is the residents of the cities who talk loudest about a lack of civilization and propose to send missionaries to teach the rural den- izens righteousness. It is in the cities where mission workers are needed; it fs in the cities where crime flourishes in ite worst forms. Lorimer Case Pigered in a Church Meeting.

Progress of the Good Road Awaken- Discussing the awakening on the subject of good roads, the editor of Charity and Children, who goes about the State, says in one town- ship in Scotland county “the roads are like those of Mecklenburg, / and there are 15 concrete bridges over the streams in that township alone,’ and further: “A few counties are still asleep, but they are going to get their eyes open.

A trequest reached State Guard headquarters If Raleigh Thursday evening for the military company at Dunn to be ordered out to help surround and capture John Aiken, a “blind tiger,’”’ who had probably fa- tally shot Deputy Sheriff Thaddie Jernigan of Harnett, when the lat- ter sought to serve a capias on him for failure to appear at court and show, under terms of a suspension of judgment, that he was continuing of good behaviour. Aiken used an automatic gun and successfully defied. arrest, declaring hig purpose to shoot any and all comers. He was heading fora swamp about a mile from Dunn, when the request for the militia came. Adu- tan‘ General Leinster directed that the sheriff order out the Dunn company if he deemed it advisable and the Authorities were urged from the Governor’g office to use every precaution to prevent a lynching in the event the fugitive was cap- tured.

C. in 1905 led two men who were traveling’ with a theatrical compan and was sentehced to the Sou Carolina State prison for life, ‘has been pardoned by Gov. Blease. Hasty claims to have tuberculosis but the pardon is unconditional, Gov. Blease, who seemingly takes pleasure in doing what he thinks the public will not approve, express- ing the opinion that Hasty had been punished sufficiently. Hasty was one of the proprietors of the Gaffney Inn at the time of the homicide. The story,as printed in the papers at the time, was that Hasty tried repeatedly to force an entrance into the room occupied by two female members of the theat- rical company, who were guests at the Inn. The women gavethe alarm and the mena, their companions in the show, went to the room and guarded them the remainder of the night. Next morning one, of the men reproached Hasty for hig conduct and in “he difficulty which follow- ed Hasty shot and killed both men. There was much indignation against him at the time and he was consid- ered fortunate in, escaping with his life.” Now he is. pardoned af- ter serving six years. Bast of Gen.

"PHONE: 282, Freguet references ‘have been made in The Landmark tothe action of the corporation commission in exempting nearly all the towns in theState from the operation of what ig known as the ‘“Two-WindowLaw,” pasaed by the recent Legislature; the: law aforesaid providing that in towns of 2,000 inhabitants or more the railrodas should provide two tick et windows, one for the exchange of mileege and one for the sale of tickets. This law was passed, a8 has been said, in response to the demand of traveling salesmen and others that the railroads should be compelled to pull mileage on the trains, a practice abandoned. four years ago when the law was passed reducing passenger fares. It was not thought the railroads could be compelled to pull mileage on the trains and the two-window law was passed as a substitute. to facilitate of |the sale of tickets and éxchange of Mileage. Provisioh was made for the corporation commission to ex- empt places where it, was shown that necessity, for the two windows did not exist, but it was intended to out the burden on the railroads to show that the necessity did not exist. As passed, however, the law gives the corporation commission dis eretion which some members of the Legislature say was not intended it should have. All this is preliminary to saying that when the towns were exempted some weeks ago it was stated that the exemptions were made “on pe- tition.” This caused many States- ville people who had never heard of such petition here to sit up and take notice. The board of govern- ors of the Commercial club notified the commission that they were not aware such petition had been circu- lated in Statesville and asked for a copy of the, peittion sent from here. The attention of the commis- sion was also called to the fact that there are four passenger trains in Statesville from 10.20 to 11 a. m. daily and that the ticket window is often crowded. In response the sec- retary to the commission says that al] exemptions granted are subject to review at any time, upon com-, plaint that satisfactory service is not given, and that the complaint from Statesville will be taken up |for investigation. Following is the {a copy of the petition’ sent from |Statesville and the names of the signers: . “To the Honorable Corporation Commission: “Dear Sirs: In connection with ithe recent legislation enacted by last Legislature regulating the sale of mileage exchange tickets, providing a window for this exclusive purpose in certain passenger depots, etc., we, the undersigned business men. of Statesville, N. C., beg to state that with the enlarged waiting rooms in our new passenger depot that we do not at this time gee any great necessity for this ag vA tional expense being incurred by ‘ Southern Railway Company here, and inasmuch ag the right to waiy this order is vested in the corpora tion ¢ommission, do hereby express our willingness to have this ste- tion exempted from this require- ment. .

The petition is not copied to criticise anybody who signed it, but as many people had _ never jheard of the matter until after the corporation commission had tak- en action, and some of these fee! that snap judgment was taken, there has been some curiosity to know about the petition and it is printed. as a matter of news. Some of the signers say that it was represented to them that if the two windows were established here there would be only one man to wait on the two.windows, which would cause more delay than to have only one window. This would be true Tf such was a fact, but any who signed under this impression were misied as to the facts. The law distinctly provides that where the two windows are established there shall be a man to each win- dow. The average individual will also have some difficulty in understand- ing the advantage of a larger wait- ing room, as etated in the petition, in fecilitating the exchange of mile- age and the sale of tickets. If the waiting room was as big as all out of doors that would not enable the Man.-at-the single window to do his Wate axy Tawter: A great. many people believe that the ger business at States- passen ville is of sufficient volume, espe- ere: OV ae ; Sten ee a The farm contains 208 acres, was} | obtained in fall of 1902 and work} Gilaly in the rash of the morning hours, to justify the two windows.

If notice had been given and, afte: proper investigation, {€ was shown that the public is properly waited on, there would be no com- plaint. Statesville will not ask for the two windows unless they are deemed recessary, but a.good many people who were given no opportu-~ nity to be heard think they are en- titled to have a word in the case.

The report of the grand jury for the present term of court shows that there are 20 inmatea—12 white anc 8 colored—in the county home. Three are blind and one insane. It ‘is recommended that the lunatic and also a lunatic confined in jail be sent to the insane asylum. The Teport says the honie is kept in as good condition as possible under the circumstances, but it is, dilapidated and unsanitary,and it is recommend- ed that “the present property be disposed of and a more suitable lo- calion be securey near the county seat.” The chain gang camp was found in sood condition and the prisoners Teport that they are well fed. There are ditions from the present court)— five white aud eight colored—and the report says the amount of work being done “is very creditable ta view of the small force employed.”’ The roads built by the chain gang @re not taken eare of, says the re- port, and unless something is done a large part of the money expended for the work will be wasted. It ie recommended that the overseers be at once and keep them in good con- dition until after the new road,.law goes into effectfter which it is recommended, that the ‘‘chain gang be used as a repair force or abolish- ed The general conditions of the Public roads is found to be bad and it is urged that overseers be re- quired to keep their roads in better condition until the new road law becomes operative. : The p#isoners in the jail report that they are well fed but the jail is infested with vermin. The jall- er says he is not responsible for this condition, that he has asked for jail suits for the prisoners and the request has not Deen granted. It is urgently recommended that the jail be thoroughly disinfected; that when prisoners are brought there they be examined and if found in- fested with vermin or disease that ¢lean suits be furnished at the ex- Penose of the county. “Unless some- thing is done,’ say the grand ju- “we fear the court house is y to be infested with vermin | brought in by the prisoners.” | The offices in the court house are | reported “‘im good condition and the 13 prisoners (prior to the ad-}# required to repair macadam roads | |records well kept.” | ‘Phe grand jury passed on 83) bills and found 64 true bills. | The Iredell Test Farm—-What Has .

The Landmark is not trying to place the blame, for it does not know where it attaches, but the jail should be made to hold prison- ers and a Mttle precaution would rid the jail of vermin. The condi- tions should be promptly remedied. The colored man Who gets into court these days has friends that he never had before. Labor is scarce aad in active demand and an able- Bodied individual of either race,who . fs willing to work and whose rep- wtation isn’t too bad, Geean’t have to beg somebody to pay him out of court. On the contrary he will find farmers and others in need of labor who will readily stand for a fine and costs if he will agree to work it out. Last week in Statesville a mumber of farmers were looking af- ter the interests of the colored de- Tendants in court, whom they were anxious to secure as farm laborers, and this accounts in a measure for the fact that out of the great num- ber of convictions the chain gang receives comparatively few recruits. Defendants who ordinarily could not Pay or give security for fines and costs, had friends at court to help them because their labor was want- ed. _—_ The Albemarle Enterprise thinks Judge Clark will not be elected Senator, “not because there are wtronger or more learned men in the|are practically unanimous for anoth- @ace than he, but because he is mow where he is needed most, and the people will keep him there. His feputation is becoming national. As Senator, he would soon fade into in- Mignificance.”’ There are lawyers in plenty who could fill the office of Chief Justice with as much ability, and probably more acceptably; therce fore Judge Clark is by no means @ necessity on the Supreme Court Bench. We have quoted the Enter- prise to say, however, that the idea |t© the office of county that Judge Clark would “fade into insignificance” in the Senate is Wery erroneous. Judge Clark is not the typeof man«to “fade into in« @ignificance” anywhere. In the Sen- @te he would be constantly be- fore the country—as much so as La Follette, of Wisconsin. Whether we would be pleased with the sort of Prominence he would attain in th Senate is another matter. ‘Trust officials are the greatest Prevaricators.

The Record the Greensboro auto folks racing through Durham at the rate of 45 to 60 miles an hour, smashing a ve- hicle and paying $75 to the school fund; that one automobile driver, to avoid colliding with a Durham car- riage, ran into another Greensboro auto, preferring rather to smash Greensboro property than Durham property. The Landmark’s informa- tion was based on a dispatch in the the Record was evidently deceived by the same statement, for it ap- plauded the Durham recorder, who was reported to have imposed the $75 fine, which it seems was not imposed. It ts evident that some,of the Democratic Senators who voted last winter to exonerate Senator Lor- imer, of Illinois, and zetain him in his seat, have experienced a change of heart. It ig said that Senator Bailey, of Texas, the most netabie and influential of the Lor- imer defenders, now intimates a be- lief that Lorimer’s friends were de- ceived. The action of the Senate in exonerating Lorimer did aot stop the investigation by the Illinois Leg- islature, and subsequent disclosures as a result of that investigation but confirmed the popular judgment that Lorimer’s election was procured by bribery and corruption. This being so, Sevator Lorimer is not entitled to his seat even if it be true that he had no kuowledge of the corrup- tion. It is difficult to believe, how- ever, that the wholesale corrupt methods evidently employed in his election were entirely without Lor- imer’s knowledge. The Senate will reopen the case and it, ts entirely probable that the second investi- gation will result in the ousting of Lorimer. The Democratic Senators er investigation.

Women hava hel this office in Missouri for years, says the Times, and have shown that they are eminently capable. Wo- men are eligible as school officers in many of the Northern and West- ern States. Recently a woman was elected superintendent of the public schools of Chicago. The Land mark isn’t very strong on woman suffrage—although it beliéves that it is coming by and by—but it is very hospitable to the idea of wo- Men as school officers. Women do most of the work as teachers in the public schools and as a rule do it better than men. They take more in- terest in the work and are more faithful, This being so, there is no reason why they should not fill the offices having to do with the Ma:.agement of the schools. We have no doubt there can be found in almost any coumty in North Car- olina women as capable of filling the office of county superintendent as any man, and in Many cases much more capable. Barring, possibly,the disposition to-run to fads and to be actuated by petty jealousies and prejudices, the women as a_ rule are better fitted for this work than ty who are broad-minded and level- headed and of fine business capaci- ty, and by no means all the men are free from fads or narrowness, or have good business capacity. Educated Manufacturers to Get All They Could, Acknowledgment was made Friday that the American Paper and Pulp Association at times had advised its members to curtail their production of paper and that its purpose was to “‘educate the paper manufactur- ers of the country to get all they could for their product.’’ The ad- mission came from Arthur C, Hast- ings, president of the ~ American Paper and Pulp Association, who, before the finance committee of the says The Landmark is in error about daily papers, sent from Durham, and of the up by tution Strong as was his oral 6 at that time, the formal writtten opinion ie even more forceful in the weight of his condemnation of the majority of the court. Following are some of the points in the dis- senting opinion: The action of the court might well alarm thoughtful men who revere the constitution. The court has read into the Sher- man act words which are not to be found.there, and has thereby done that: which it adjudged in 1896 and 1898 could not be done without vio- Yating the constitution. The gourts have nothing to do with.the wisdom or policy of an act of Congress. . The supreme law of the land, which is binding alike upen. .ajl— upon t, Congresses, the courts and the people—gives to Con- greas and to Congress alone author- ity to regulate inter-State commerce and when Congress forbids any -re- strait of such commerce in any form all must obey its mandate. To over reach the action of Congreas merely by judicial construction—that is, by indirection—is a blow at the integ- rity of our govermental system and in the end will prove most dangerous to’ all. The court * * * has ugurped the constitutioal functions of the legislative branch of the govern- ment. The court’s opinion will throw the business of the country into confusion and invite widely ex- tended and harrassing litigation, the injurious effect of which will be felt for many years to come. Definition of a Good Trust. | Newton Bterprise. | Our idea of a good trust is one | that is made up of any number of in’ dividuals. and corporations in the | same line of business consolidating | and merging into one great company, for the purpose of reducing expense | of management and operation, of | buying supplies and marketing pro-| ducts, attending to its own busi- ness and letting other people in the | same business alone, whether they are small or large concerns. If it does this, it ought to be able to sell its products at a leas pricé af- ter the consoMdations than the com- ponent members, acting independ- ently, were before the consaolida- tionand the consumer of the goods would be efited. The establish- ments that Were unwisely oor mii or financially weak would not hindrance to the stronger and bet- ter managed concerns. Employes would be certain of regular and Prompt payment and not live unfder the shadow of the possible failure of an individual factory, the leas of wages and the loss of employmeat. We do not. kmow that any such truste in this country, there are in England and Germany. In fact, according to our reading, the foreign trusts are of the good kind and have been a benefit to the owners of the stock, the employes an the consumers of the goods. In this! country—and we think our high tar iff laws have been responsible— the rule has been to run to the bad kind. To buy everything as cheap as possible, to pay no more for wages than necessary to keep the wheels moving, to crush everybody else in the same business, to boy- cott dealers in their claags of goods who traded with anybody else, and after getting a monopoly of the busi- peas to fix selling prices exorbitant- ly high. This is the kind of trusts that have been condemned, and just- ly so, by the people of this country, Bae ae Taft's Firm Stand Against Bank ‘Looters, Baltimore Sun. President Taft shows his firmness in refusing to pardon Charles W. Morse and John R. Walsh. Petitions had been presented, signed by many thousands; their lawyers had urged the pardons with professional! insist- ence, and the wife of one and the family of the other haé-tearfully be- sought mercy. The President took up each case and reviewed the evi- dence as if he were the judge on the bench. His conclusion has all the force and clearness of a court’s decision. He decides that both men had fair trials that they were justly convicted, and that they must serve out the sentences imposed. Mr. Taft’s firm stand will tend to counteract a feeling that ‘“‘you can’t keep a rich man in jail,’’ and that only the poor and friendless are punished. Both Morse and Walsh took hundreds of thousands of dol- Jars of other people’s money and used it in big speculations. Both looted banks, swept away the saving of hundreds and shook confidence in financial institutions. Such specur lators are the pirates of the banking world. Both these men were convict- ed on conclusive evidence. They de they were burglars caught in the .|the neighboring county during serve no more consideration than if } ‘Trying to Evade levving 6 tax on doen sa i @ tax on lisbury Post sections of the county the meets with favor while in others there is strong opposition, Says the Post: “From the southern part of the county a very pretty story reaches the Post.”The farmers oppose paying tax on their dogs and they are cor- ralling them in Oabarrus county, just over the Rowan line. As many as forty dogs have been herded ce e past week and niore are likely to be spirited acices the line before the assessor arrives. The question is an interesting one, Are the dogs liable to tax if kept in Cabarrus county until the tax listing is over and then brought beck? The owner does not possess a dog in the county The case is worthy of discussion.” Personal property must be return- ed for taxation where the owner re- sides. . If it can be established that a Rowan man owns a dog in Cabar- rus that dog is liable for taxes in Rowan. i EEE Demands of the Southern Railway Firemen The Southern railway firemen, who are asking for a 20 per cent. increase in pay and have voted to strike unless their demands are granted, ask for the following rates of pay for 100 miles, white and ne- gro firemen to be paid the same wages: Passenger firemen, $2.56; through freight and mixed, $3.08; same with large engines, $3.25; lo- cal freight, $3.28; same with large engines, $3.41. ‘The company is resisting the de- mands, claiming that it will mean an additional expenditure of $400,- 000, which is denied by the other side. The firemen say the road is in better financial condition than for years and cite the fact that it paid a 2% per cent. semi-annual divi- dend last month. Both sides have agreed to submit the matter to mediation, but at present there seems to be some doubt whether it can be settled by mediation. tnt a a Million Dollars For Strawberry Crop. The strawbérry season in eastern North Carolina closed last week and on account of the drought the crop was about 300 cars short of the estimate at the opening of the season. It is estimated that 1,240 refrigerator cars of berries were shipped during the season and that express shipments made an ad- ditional 100 cars, making a total of 1,340 cars. The average price per crate was over $3, an advance of 50 per cent. over last year, and the total returns from the crop are estimated at $1,000,000, $200,000 more than last season. “Old Maids’ Convention.” The “Old Maids’ Convention” will be replayed by the Old Maids of the Davidson neighborhood, Friday eve- ning, June 2, at the residence of Mr. Wm.

Diaz was bound for Vera Cruz to take ship for Spain. In the distanc he could hear the yoices of a few of the more enthusiastic citizens who were etill acclaiming the new Pres- ident, Francisco Leon de La Barra, and shoutiog “Viva Madero.’’ So carefully were the arrange- ments made for the abdicated Pres‘ - dent's escape that the news didi not transpire until late today. Secrecy was due less te apprehension of a Popular ottburst than to a degire to reach Vera Cruz before maraad- €rs alcng the route could learo of the trip. Travel between Mexico City and Vera Crug usually ig over the Mex- ican railroad, a standard gauge line with modern equipment. Rails along this route, however, frequently have been removed by bendits, who were determined that Diaz, for reasons best known to themselves, should hot leave the capital. They are reported to have harbored the idea that Diaz would follow the prece- dent of other Latin-American Presi- dents and carry the national] funds with him. There is also a narrow gauge railroad to the coast. Taking it for granted that Diaz would take the most luxurious route,the bandits did not molest the narrow guage road. For this reason “ was chosen by Diaz for his trip. General Diaz, still feeble from his iliness and fer from being a well man, left his home under dreary circumstances. Rain had fal- jen eariler in the night and, by the time the former President emerged from h‘s house, the air was chilly. He was closely muffled. To aid in the disguise a borrowed automobile was usea. (An attack was made on the Diaz train while it was en route to Vera Cruz but the assailants were repuls- ed with a number killed and wound Orops Suffering From Drought.

Jennings, May 24—Mrs. Henriet- ta Casey.wife of W. A. Casey, ru- ral letter carrier on route No. 1 from Jennings, died at her home at Jennings, in north Iredell, Saturday, May 20th, at 9.30 p. m., aged 50 years, after an illness of about two years, during which time all that skilled pliygicians and loving hands could do was done for her. The funeral, which was attended by an unusually large number of people, took place at Zion church Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. W.. A. Myers, assisted by Rev. E. N. Gwyn. Mrs. Casey was a daughter of jthe late Rev.. T.” W. Paris, .who lived the greater part of his life in. the. Holly Springs section of north Iredell. She professed relig- fon and joined the church®in ear- ly 'Mife and had lived a devout Chris- tian, was a kind, affectionate com- panion, a loving, tender mother, and will be greatly missed in her home and communiity. For the past 26 years Mrs Casey had been an in- valid and suffered greatly, although she bore it all without complaining, and her oft-expressed desire was to be spared to raise her children, which prayer was almost granted Besides a host of relatives, Mrs. Casey is survived by her husband and eight children, viz: Mrs. R. P. Madison arad Mrs. R. L. Johnson, who live near Buck Shoals, in Yad- kin county; Mrs. Nathan Trivett, of Hamptonville; Mrs. L. E. Hayes, of Houstonville; Mr. Fred. W.

A personal col- | loquy between 2cnators Bailey, of | Texas, and Martine, of New Jersey, fedtured the caucus. The Martin resolution proposes an inquiry by the |}committee on. privileges and elec- | tions. i The Verbal eticoutiter” between | | Messrs. Bailey and Martine originat- led ia Mr. Balley’s demand for gen- j@ral support of the Martin resolu- tion. Mr. Beliey declared that any Senator who refused to be bound by the caucus had no rightful place in the party councils. This aroused the Senators who favor the LaFol- quiry by a special committee of new Senators. Mr. Bailey contended that more than two-thirds of the caucus favored the Martin resolu- tion and it was thus the duty of all Democratic Senators to abide by that decision. Mr. Martine replied that while willing to compare his/| party record with the Texas Senator | he was unwilling to be bound by a party caucus on a moral question. He said he understood that the lette resolution providing for an in- }j meeting was a conference and not a caucus and he had no understand- | ing that any binding action was to! be taken. | Saying he would not bandy words regarding the character of his own Democracy, as compared with that of another Senator, Mr. Bailey in- sisted that all Senators were duty bound to abide by the two-thirds de- cision caucus. Mr. Martine replied as pointedly and the colloquy con- tinued until Mr. Martine withdrew from the caucus,reiterating that he would not be bound by it on any except a political question. Burglar Accidentally Strangled While Trying to Enter House. The body of a man dangling from a rope in the skylight was the sight that greeted Mrs. Elias Surut, when she returned to her home in Harlem, N. Y., from a five-weeks’ visit out of town. The man had been dead .three weeks and the police declare he was a burglar whom death by strangulation interrupted at his task. A stout rope way attached to one end of a chimmey, the other about the man’s waist. The heavy frame of the skylight, whose glass he had cut to release the inside catch, pressed its 150 pounds upon the back of his neck, which was pir ned between frame and ceiling. His clenched fingers still clutched the rope tightly. Skeleton keys and a fully-loaded revolver were found o the body. The body of the dead burglar was identified at the morgue by his sweetheart, Bertha Rinkner, and b Rudolph Yesek as Joseph J.

A correspbdndent writing the |Charlotte Observer from Jefferson says that in Solitude neighborhood, in the western part of Ashe coun- ty.Tamp Roark was found dead on the porch of John Cox, on a_ recent morning. Roark was on a drunken debauch and some companions © jaid him on Cox’s porch and left him. He died from the effects of drink. Thesame correspondent says that Ed. Rash, who lived some five or six miles trom Jefferson on Buffalo creek, at tne base of Three-Top mountain, was found dead on. the mountain a few days ago. He was 25 years old and married. He Ieft home, takirg his gun, dog and & lunch, télling his wife he would be away two days on a hunting { pedition. When he failed to ret! he was found dead with a gun shot wound in bis thigh, from which he had evidently bled to death, his faithful dog guarding his body. Cards were laid out nearby as if two men had been playing and it is believed Rash was shot in a row over a card game. This May Explain About the Club Prizes, The critical observer had some- tning to say in a recent issue of The Landmark about silk stockings [Gabriel Johnston. and club prizes. The following dis- | pateh of the 23d from Phiiadelphia may throw light on the matter: Reports of officers of the Nation- al Association of Hosiery and Un- derwear Manufacturers, which be- gan its seventh annual convention here today, showed that the trade is facing a crisis which in the com- ing year may result in only the sur- vival of the fittest. Garnett Andrews. of Chattanooga, Tennu., president of the association, in hig address, said the trade was ia the midst of a revolution. It used to be that manufacturers who gave the best article gave the best weight also, but now, he said, the demand is for I'ght hosiery with good wearing qualities. Silk stock- ings and socks .wo years ago could not be purchased for less than $1 per pair,” he said, ‘“‘but now they are sold at 25 cents.” Marking the Site of Fort Johnston. With appropriate exercises a tab- let erected at Gouthport by the North Carolina Society of Colonial Dames, to mark the site of Fort Johnson, was unveiled Tuesday. Fort Johnston, the first fort in the province of North Carolina, was built under act of Assembly of 1746 and was named in honor of Gov. The patriots of the Oape Fear, resisting the execu- tion of the stamp act in 1776,forced the spiking of the 24 cannon given by King George the Second. The fort wus a fefuge of Governor Jo- sinh Martin after his flight from New Berme May 24,1775, until he was compelled by the patriots to abandon it, July 18, 1775, on which day it was destroyed and royal gov- ernment in North Carolina ceased. Walked Into ¢ Ohurch With Hat on and the Shooting Followed. At Rocky Zion church, colored, near Newbury, 8.C., Sunday night, Henfy Baxter walked into the meet- ing with his hat on. One of the ne- groes took offence at this seem- ing lack of respect on Henry's part. When the difficulty arose an ad- journment was bad to the grounds outaide, where a number of pistols were put in action, between forty and fifty shote being fired. Henry Baxter, who had failed to uncover when he went into the meeting, was killed, and four or five others were wounded.

The boy’s name is Hopping—that of the goat, unfortunately, is not given. Hop- ping, with a plow of his own manu- facture,to which he harnessed his goat, planted and cultivated an acre of ground in corn and gathered therefrom 50 bushels. The boy and the goat did all the work, except the first plowing of the land, which me with or mule pow- al special seed corn was used, mo scientific method of cultivation sot Common corn was planted and the crop was ‘tended in the common way. The State Commissioner of Agri- culture heard of the case, and find- | ing it authentic, furnished the boy | with the best seed corn obtainable | for this year and gave him some in- struction in approved methods of farming and cultivation, and he is going to try for 100 bushels to the acre. The commissioner also offered to furnish Hopping a horse or a male, but this the boy refused, ng to stick to the goat power and the plow he built for himself. Hopping is all right and seems to have a ticket for Success. It is not every boy who can take a goat anda home-made plow and work his way into the Congressional Record. the agricultural reports and the newspapers.
