Home My WebLink AboutThe Landmark, November 1911 os VOL. XXXVI. WALTER RUSSELL IN JAIL. Slayer of June Summers Brought | to ‘Town By a Rowan Farmer. Walter Russell, who killed June Summers in Olin township a little over three weeks ago, was brought lo. Statesville yesterday by E. A. McDaniel, a farmer who lives near ‘Woodleaf, Rowan county, and deliv- ered to Jailer Gilbert. The two left Woodleaf in a buggy just be- fore daylight yesterday morning a drove across the country to Ne, arriving here just . be- fore noon. McDaniel married a cousin of Russell's and the latter went to the McDaniel home for ahel- ter Wednesday night and was tak- @n into custody by McDaniel. The Landmark reporter saw Rus- sell at the jail and found him very willing to answer questions with re- gard to the tragedy. He maid he got hold of a copy of The Landmark) clothes; that cotton bedding and read the story of the killing and that with two exceptions it was correct; that it was Summers who “butted in’ inetead of him (Ruesell) and that he was wearing black shoes instead of tan, as men- tioned in the story. Russell says that be is sorry that he killed Sum- mers but that he feels that any- body else would have done the same thing under the circumstances; that Summers had picked up a viece of iron pipe with which to strike him and that he picked up @ piece of timber and struck first to save himself. He believes that the court will let him off light. Russell says he has been dodg- ing continuously ever since the homicide, making it a point to Weep out of the sight of persons whom he thought might recognize him, but at no time has he been very far away. Most nights, he ys, were spent in the woods or under hay stacks, one night being @pent only a short distance from a house where officers called in search of him. It was his pur- DOSe, he mays, to have seoured a job somewhere until he could make enough money to employ counsel and then come in just before the next term of court and surrender. “If I'd had my ruthers,.” said he “I wouldn't have been in here till mext court’’. Russell hasm’t shaved since he became a fugitive and his face is rather “woolly.” Mr. Maddry Called to Raleigh— Qharch Notes. Rev. Chas. E.

Richeson, pastor of Immanuel Baptist church, Cambridge, was indicted on five counts charging murder in the first degree by the Suffolk county grand jury iate this afternoon for the alleged poisoning on October 14 of his former gweetheart, Mise Avis W. Linnell, of Hyannis. The grand jury reported their finding toJudge |George A. Sanders in the Superior Criminal Court, after hearing more | tina thirty witnesses during four | days’ consideration of the case. It is understood that the jurors Bill were unanimous in ondering the indictment. The. indictment, which ts said to be almost unique in the annals of Massachusetts homicides in |which poisoning has figured, is of |the so-called “blanket” type, the |five counts being so worded as to permit the introduction of evidence by the government as to any of Sevenal methods by, which the pois- on may have been conveyed to the dead girl. As worded, the indictment indi- cates that the government as yet is without knowledge of what means were employed to hand the poison to Miss Linnell and is uncertain as fo the exact form in which the poison was taken. The trial will probably be in Jan~ uary. Mr. Troutman Moves to the Country —Mr. Freelgnd Visits Old Homie. Correspondence of The Landmark.

But later there came a feeling that to put a woman to death was barbarous, and foilow'ng thie it became a custom to excuse wen so ofver that now it is almost dmppossible to inflict the death penalty on anybody & a negro ‘white man. er a mighty ordinary s se s Mis Mary Johnson, of Virginia, a moted writer of fiction, has re ently, published a historical novel, “The Long Roll,”’ that has attract- ed mueh attention and widespread eritidem. Gen. Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson is the main ehmracter in the book and the crit- icp my Mise Johnson has drawn a picture of him that is not true to Wife; that while she makes Jackson a hero she pictures him as rough mung uncouth and magnifies his ec eentricities so that the man is wepresented to be really the oppos- tte of what he was. While it is wenlized that books of fiction are wot always intended’ to be true to life, the historical novels are often mocepted as accurate, and therefore the critics of Miss Johnson assert that she has done a great wrong to Gen. Jackson's memory by misrepre- menting one of the world’s great mpoldiers as well as one of the noblest @f men. Miss Johnson contends that @er delineation of Jackson is cor wect and there are a few who de- fend her. But most of the Confed- erate veterans and others who have spoken condemn the book. In lat Sunday’s daily papers Mrs M. A. Jackson, the widow of the famous general, published an article in which she points out the de fects in Miss Johnson's story, and ghows that she misrepresents Gen Jackson by painting him in an en- tirely different light from that in which hig family and friends knew Aim Mrs. Jackson’s statement ‘and the statement of Confederate weterans who knew Jackson will of eourse be accepted as final; for While we cannot always see defects An those we hold dear, certainly the men who knew Jackson in war Rmow more about him as a man and a commander than a woman Wora since the war, who knew her ~wubject only through others. But the contnoversy will materially in- crease the number of readers of Migs Johnson's book. Vetieral Control of All Railroads Foreshadowed. Washington Dispatch, Oct. 30 Complete control of all the rail- @onds of the country by the Inter tate Commerce Commission and Virtug! elimination of State commis wopns from such control, is foreahad- @wed in an opinion handed down today by the Supreme Court of the United States. The court held that hereafter al] locomotives, cars or other equipment used on any rail- woad which is a highway, of inter- State commerce, must comply with Ghe Federal safety appliance act. In its opinion the court held that sompliance with Federal law is sompulsory on all railroads which @re engaged in the transportation of persons or freight from one Sate to another. Elaborating this, however, it held that the cars or equipment of such roads, even if emgeged in Such traneportation within the confines of a State, muat be considered as part and parcel of tile road and, therefore, completely mmder the jurisdiction of the Fed- ral commission. Members of the Inter-State amerce Commission, Com- who have been embarrassed on numerous occasions dy, clashes of authority with BState @ommissions, are jubilamt at the against the disease, thereby tempt- enough to more than maintain the already protected. Smallpox, tho moet conta- gious disease known to acience, recently appeared in your co ty. Al who have not been stit- cessfully vaccinated within the last five years are in danger of con- tracting, the disease unlesa they, are vaccinated at once; If you have not been vaccinated, you have good cause for alarm; if you have, you need have no fear of contracting smallpox. Until lately, the State required smallpox to be quarantin- ed. The State Boardof Health shall now no longer advocate or insist upon the quarantine of smallpox. The board takes thia position for three reasons: First. Quarantine is an uncertain protection; vaccination a certain prorection. Quarantine works posi- tive harm in many cases by«giving people a false sense of security ing them to forego the certain pro- tection which vaccinatiqn would give them. pensive protection. The cost of the quarantine of smalJpox to the State in recent years has approx- imated $100,000 annually, or State University. Third. Quarantine is inequitable. By it the taxes that ali contrib- ute are used to protect a class. The majority of the people, having been vaccinated, secure no pnotec- tiom from quarantine, as they are Vaccination is a duty-—a duty, first, to one’s self, and, second, to one’s community. You should pre- serve your own health in order to accomplish the most good possible in the world, and you should take precau’ions to prevent your carryr ing disease to others. 4 We believe the aboye stated prin- |! ciples répresent the concensus of opinion of North Carolina people, and we believe the mangement of smallpox, based upon these princi- ples, will represent the will of a majoritv of our people We are giving this waning be- cause the old way of attempting to handle smalipox by quarantine has caused many people to rely upon the State to protect them and have not been vaccinated. As quaran- tine will no longer be emforced throughout the State; those who have ueglected to be vaccinated dur. ing the last five years ane hereby notified of the danger their negli- | gence in this matter exposes them to, and are urged to be vaccinated at the earliest opportunity. Remember that smallpox is the penalty for yourown neéglignce and that you wili little deserve the sympathy of the public if you con- Indiscriminate Slaughter of Arabs Reported at Tripoli.

Three hundred civilians one-half of whom were women and children, were killed. The search for Arabs still continues and the summary executions are not yet <cnded. Nothing more deplorable than the massacre at Tripoli have been wit- nessed in a war for many, years. The Arabs caught were shot in masses upon the orders given by the Ital- ian authorities to exterminate troops. The innocent and the guilty alike were wipéd 6ut. Many of those killed were quite young. A great number of women perished. it is impossible to state the num- ber who were shot, but scarcely any of the large native population occupying an oasis many square miles in extent, are left. ee Gringing Cattle and Produce From the Mountains—Elnmwood News. / ‘orresvondence of The Landmark.

The house was prettily decorated with autumn leaves, chrywanthemums and lowe’en lanterns. The girls appeared as ‘ghosts,’ Silently and slowly passing through the hall, they seated themselyes around the parlor, while the boys, with cards and pencile, spent a merry half houwr guessing the names of the ghosts When the girls reappeared ifn their usual charming guise, they found the hall filled with tall white shapes, and the boys had disappear- ed. After the guessing refresh~- ments of ice cream, cake and fruit were served, and with games and recitations, the girls and boys made merry. In the guessing contests, the lady’s prize, a box of note paper, was awardéd tcMiss Maud Guyand Mr. Leary Cashwell won the gentlenian'’s prize, a pen knife. The happy young folks hurried home in the moonlight, and a pleas- ant evening had passed into its Place among the memories of youth. Mrs. A. i.

Dallas Greenlee, the Optimistic Cologed Miner, Tells of Another Discovery. Dallas Greenlee, the old-time co)- ored citizen who reported to The Landmark a few weeks ago that he had discovered a fertilizer mine in Shiloh township, dropped in a few days ago to report further success in mining. Asa sort of peace of- fering, or as a fee to insure a hearing, Dallas proceeded to sub eidize The Landmark by laying down a peck of sweet potatoes as a git before saying a word about mining. The potatoes passed over, with the assurance that turnips would follow, Dallas, with an op- Aimiam that would do credit to Mark Tapley, proceeded to tell that the fertilizer mine was doing fine; that the output of the mine had proved its value in comparison with other fertilizer, as used umder crops and @arden truck the - past summer. But not content with unearthing a fertilizer that is going to revolu- tionize things, Dallas has pursued the mining business and struck what he is assured is a rich vein of gold and silver ore, and he has fron im sight. He had the samples of the ore to show and he is as- sured by folks who know that he has struck {it rich. ‘ Dallas is perfectly unselfish (n his discoveries. He apparently gives no thought to the idea of becoming rich from these mimes. With smiling complaisance he gays he is an “old slave-time darkey’’ and he is only, concerned that his discoveries shall build up States- ville and Iredell county and that the future gemeration may profit by them. Dallas bas a mania for mining and it is rare that he hasn’t some- HOW FALSE REPORTS GROW. agate About a County Mule and ticiam. Not Well Founded.

The Landmark reporter was out making his usual rounds on the day in question when he first heard of the “killing of the mule,” and his first Informant was a man who lives in another part of the coun- ty from that where the aHeged kill- ing took place.

The chairman of the| county commissioners was found and his attitude, when questioned about the matter, showed that he} had already become irritated om ac- count of the report. “I hear a report that one of the county’s big mules was killed at) Mooresville today,” said the re | porter, inquiringly. | “Yes, you're liable to hear any-} thing,”” said Chairman Mills, “but | so far as I can learn every one of | the county’s mules are at work | right now; there hasn’t been any | mule killed but there're plenty of {| folks ready to take up such a fe-| Port and circulate it.”’ / | Mr. Mills then went on to explain that hie investigation of the rej| port had revealed that one of the | old chain gang mules which was | transferred to one of the road | forces near Mooresville had been | seized with a fit or fainting spell | and biad fallenin the road, and that was the foumdation of the report | circulated in Statesville a few hours} later to the effect that a mule} had been killed; and there are| doubdtless citizene in the remote; sections ef the county who are still telling of the killing of that fine mule near Mooresville. Tite purchase by the county com- missiou.ers cf the bunch of big mules} for the road work has occasioned @ lot of idle talk on the part of those whoare disposed to complain about things of which they have} no accurate knowledge. There is a disposition on the part of many to complain about the price paid fo the mules on the ground that! cheaper mules could be bought here, | without taking into consideration the working valve of the mules now and their selling value Jater. If the commissioners had undertaken to have bought 40 mules in Lredell it is very doubtful if they could have secured them at any less pro- Dortionate cost and it is certain that few good, big muleg of the Same age could have been pno- cured. The folks in Iredell who have big, young mules bought them at a high price and they would de- mand a higher one should they sell, and the only mules which could be bought cheap are the little ones, which could not Rive the service desired. It takes go00d, heavy, stnong miles to do road work, and that is the kind that were purchas- ed, and the mules purchased are all young and are not yet at their Dealers and others who kno what they are talking about gay that if the mules are well cared for they can be sold for a8 much or more than the cost two or three years hence, if the price of Stock continues as at Present, and it is the purpose of the commigsioners to see to it that the mules are properly, cared for. It ig therefore quite probable that after the mules have served their purpose in road building that they can be sold and most of the $10,000 paid for them turned back into the treasury. If this proves true who can say that the commissioners ‘made a bad im vest ment ? And further there were many who opposed the purchase of the mules on the ground that because of the unfavorable crop conditions this year there would he many farm- ers who would like to hire. their teams to the county, On the con- trary it has been found very dif- ficult to hire teams needed in ad- dition to the mule teams; amd those hired are not so serviceable because they are not 80 big and strong. —_—_—_———— The Houses, Horses, Moles and Buggies.

At a station on the Western road a few days ago a lady went into the car to see a friend. When the train started she hurried out. Being im- peded by the prevailing fashion of narrow skirts, in her hurry to get off the moving car she fell from the steps. Fortunately bystanders caught her and pulled her away from the train. But for their aid she would have fallen close to the car and her limbs might have been caught under the train. ~ Moral: It is safer to talk to your friend through the car window. en the rolls of the Conference 188 | Preachers and there were 64,000 church members.

Thus the cout- | ty as@ociation is a part of a whole | and has the benefit of the work of all the other associations behind it. The purpose of the county organ-~{ ization ig to secure a deeper in- terest and broader view of the or- ganized Sunday school movement, through the means of inter-denomi- national co-operation, in the forma- tion of township associations ip each township of the county. The is the lnk that completes the chain of the system. Into its organization is poured the very cream of organized Sunday school work, as it comes from the World’s through the in- ternational by the State to the aa into the township organiza- om. Thus the organized Sunday school movement is a big thing, world- wide in its scope, yet local in its ap Plication. It combines the qualities of being extensive and intemsive at one and the same time. It is fur- ther strengthened in the fact that its work is inter-denominationa] and behind it stands all the evangelical denominations. The gathering on November 14 and 15 promises to be quite a large one and much good to the Sunday School work throughout the county is expected to follow the organiza- tion in this county. COM.

John Woody, while hunting, found the body behind a log, covered with boards. The body was clothed {n a pair of good corduroy trousers, a rough shirt and a cap of the same material as the trousers. One shoe had been removed from the foot and was within a short dis- tamee of the body. In ® pockets of the tnousera were "found 65 cents, a key and a razor. One arm was broken in two places; there were no other marks of violence. It was evident that the man had beem dead a long time and it is believed h& was murdered. “I do not believe thére i¢ any other medicine so good for whooping cough as Chamberlain's ough Remedy,” writes ice 2 over Statesville Realty & nvestment Cdémpany.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound A woman who is sick and suffering, and won't at least try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, is, it would almost seem, to blame for her own wretchedness. Read what this woman says: Richmond, Mo. — “ When my second daughter was eighteen months old I was pronounced a hopeless invalid by s I had a consultation of doctors and they said I had a severe ease of ulceration. I was in bed for ten weeks, had s spotia, and was pronounced to be in a dangerous condition. My father insisted t we Lydia EB. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and oar me six bottles. I soon began to improve, and be- fore it bad all been taken I was as well and strong as ever,—mgy friends hardly reéognized me so fx was the change.” — Mrs. oodson Branstetter, Richmond, Mo. There are literally hundreds of thousands of women im the United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman’s suffering. Read what another woman says: — Jonesboro, Texas. —“I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound for myself and daughter, and consider it ume- qualled for all female diseases. I would not be without it fee anything. I wish every mother in America could be persuaded to use it as there would be less suffering among our sex thea. Iam always glad to speak a word of praise for Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and you are at liberty to use, this testimonial.”—Mrs, James T. Lawrence, Jonesboro, Texas. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub- lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering from the same trouble? For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit.

Special needa are considered. This involves an im- mense amount of work and keeps them busy from the first day the Conference until its close. The work will be especially heavy this year as there are so many impor- tant charges in which the present pastors have served the full four years of the time limit. In addii- tion there will be the usual number of changes for Many changes will be made necessa ry by those involved in the time Mm which do not appear at first sight. Bishop Hoss opened the Confer- ence yesterday morning by announc- | ing hymp No. 1. This was sung to the inspiring tune of Azmon,as only Methodist preachers can sing. The bishop read the eighteenth chap ter of Luke’s Gospel. After prayer he expounded the scripture read. in this he first pointed out the ad- mirable traita of character found {in the Pharisee. He called attentior to Nicodemus and Gamaliel as rep=1 resenting this type. He then pro- ceeded to analyze the weakness of character produced by this sect. This prayer reveals him as a Rit- ualist, a ceremonialist, a trtvialist, a sensationalist and’a hypocrite. In speaking of the publican he said that no just form of taxation had been devised among men. He characterized the tariff as highway robbery that had got legalized. His prayer was the ary of a humble heart in deep need. The Pharisee asked for nothing and got it. The publican asked for forgiveness and went down to his house justified. The Conference was thrilled by thie new presentation of the truths of this familiar scripture. Vacancies in the various boards and standing committees were filled by electing the following new members: STANDING COMMITTEES. Epworth League Board—T. Houek, W. E. Poovey, S. Ullrich. Bible Cause—J.

Armstrong: Mrs. M. V. Shrerill by J. R. Scroggs The names of the presiding el- ders were called and their charac- ters passed. Their reports indicated large advancement along all lines. Probably five thousand members have been added to the Church. Sonages have been built. The re port of Rev. E. L. Bain, of the Stacesville district, was one of the best submitted. No district shows more efficient management. Great Progress is also indicated in the mountain section of the State. The names of the superannuate breachers were called. When the name of Rev. J. W. Wheeler was called Presiding EMter J. R. Scroges, of the Charlotte district, spoke at some length upon the work of Rev. Wheeler in establishing the church in Statesville. He was the first jiman to maintain the charge as a vlation as it was on the Iredell circuit before his pastorate. Dur- ing his four years pastorate the old brick church was built, the par- /sonage was built and the membder- ;8hip of the ¢hurch was increased ‘300 per cent. | J. W. Jacobs and A. E. Wiley were placed on the honor roll of jthe Conference, the superannuated jrclation. J. C. Richardson was |referred to the committee on Con- tfe ce relations for the supernw |meérary relation.

Bishop Hoge opened Conference this morniug by paying his respect to the “Mute Hunters.” -He said that the difference between a mote ha@ater and an oculist is that the mote hunter wishes to save the mote: the oculist wishes to save the eye. No man who claims to be a Christian should tolerate any- thing unworthy in himself but at the same time he should be gen- Ue-and forbearing and lenient and patient. Hig heart knows ite own bitterness No critic is so mer- eiless a» the young critic, unless it be an old man who has become sour. In the language of street, “He is the Limit.” A woman slanderer is bad but a man who has descended to this level is in- finitely worse. Let all the breth- ren emulate the Christ and look for the good in their fellow. In do- ipg this there is no need to dis eTedit one’s reason and try to be lieve that the Har is a_ truthful Mau, or that the thief ig an hon- est mau, or that the debauchee is a mcde} of virtue. But Jesus would teach us that He forgives as we forgive, for our treatment of our fellowman is the supreme test of cur own character and God es timates men by charatter. The minutes of the yesterday's 8 were then read and approv- ed. The 20th question was called and whe preachers of the ASbeville district led off in mak- ipg reports of the year’s work. These reports indicated a success- ful pear the Charlotte district was then called. When Dr. G. T.

Dr.Rowe replied the: he had been in Char- @tte two years and that he hoped @ bishop—a long pause—will do as he pleased with him Bishop Hoss replied, “There has been BO «all for you ¢lsewhere, Dr. Rowe.” Rke-J.

M F Moore led the devotion- | al exereises and Rev. R. B. Atkin- Son intruduced the speaker of che €vening, Rev. H. M. DuBose, D D.,, of Augusta,.Georgia. Dr DuBose in his very best manner delivered one of his greatest addresses. He | Selected as a text II Timothy, 2.-!| 11-16 He said in part: ‘“‘The di- vinest art is the art of Mving weil The soul that would Derfect itself must find an inspdration and mas- ter all the details that lead it to- wards its deathless hope.

Bishop Hoss, who has just return- ed from the far East, reported for missionaries from this Confer- ence who are now serving in that distant land. S. A. Stewart, of Ja- pin, amd J. R. Moose and M. B. Stokes, of Korea, were spoken of v'th great love and respect by the bishop. A collection was taken to employ a teacher for Mr. Stokes aud $60 was contributed for this purpose the reports from the Charlotte district having beea completed, D. i. Coltrane read the report of the Board of Publication. An effort had been made to combine the North Carolina Christian Advocate with the Raleigh Christian’ AdvVo- | cate. The report déclared this plan not advisable. There is a large increase in the business of the plant. The entire profits are devoted to the support of worn- out preachers and the widows and orphans of preachers; $720 Set aside for this purpose this year. Rev. Geo. S. Sexton, pastor of the great Methodist church in Woshington, D. C., then addressed the Conference in the of the representative church whtfch it is urged at that place. B:sbcp Kilgo was called upon address the Conerence on the subject. He declared that this wis no time to turn back as we way acrosa the stream. That Dr. Sex- ton was kept in the work by press- ure from the College of Bishops, as to LEAGUE ANNIVER- they felt the necessity of compleilog the Uacertaking. This is a great national historic section and it is lo be hoped that this Conference will lead off in the work. Th+#re is nothing this nation needs s0 much as the old Southern faith drawn from the Gospel handed down from the céuturies and which we preach. He then asked the Conference to pledge $5;000 to be paid within the next quadrennium. Bishop Kilgo said: “T do not | know whether lam eloquent or not. | lutte, [ see something in the papers about it every now andthen.” Bishop Hoss retorted “You are loquactous at any rate.” Bishop Kilgo said, “Bishop Hoss and Bishop Candler are envious of my good looks, my money and my eloquence. I would haud a slice of my beauty to them if | could. I am sorry for them.” Rev. W. L. Sherrill then read resolutions endorsing the move- |ment, pledging the Conference to | cises and a cOMmittee to arrange raise the amount asked for appolatine ful cperation. Dr C. D.

Mr. 8. B. Miller was ap- pointed to work out the detaila of . ‘lac plans which it is proposed to |put tn operation and the first Mon~ day of December will be the firet i big sales day. | It is the. purpose to make the lgalee days of au¢h importance that {people will be attracted from the remote sections, and it is believ- ed that the arrangement will prove a profitable one for both sellers jand buyers. A competent auction- | eer will be secured and everybody |who has anything to sell at auction will be asked to offer it on a sales day and all special sales by the merchants will be get for that day. Au effort will be made to have loll legal land sales occur om the sales day also. The first Mon- day is already the day on which the cegular monthly meetings of the county commissioners and the coum- ity board of education’ are held, |bringing people to town from the various sections of the county, and if other meetings are set for that day it can be made of such varied interest that there will always be a big crowd in town. All kinds of good argument can be made in favor of the sales day and it wilh doubtless prove a great succesa) The committee recently appoint- ed by the association to look into the matter of installing a new fer- ry boat at the old Statesville ferry on the Catawba river between Sher- | rill's Ford and Monbo made favor- jable report and the dieal for a boat closed yesténday. The boat purchased has been in usé@ a short time at a point some miles down the river and it will be moved to the Statesville ferry at onee and put in operation by a competent ferryman. The ferry boat maintain- ed by loca} business men at thia point on the river for years wash- ed away two Or three years ago acd it is believed that States ville business has suffered as the result. The meeting Tuesday aight marked the close of, the most .suc- cessful year the Statesville as- sociation has had and it was one of the most enthusiastic and large- ly attended meetings in the history of the association. During the year there have been various accom- Plisments in the interest of the mer chants and the town and varjous trade évils have been eliminated. Greater things are. planned for the future. Mr. R. L. Poston was re- elected president of the association, Mr. ‘J. B. Gil vice president, Mr. W. J. Matheson secretary and treas- urer and Weatherman and Van Hoy attorneys. After much difficulty the asso- ciation has finally, secured from the Southern Express Company some of its graduation traffic sheets which are proving very valuable to the merchants in keeping up with ex- creas charges. Fifty-Twa Waicons of Cotton a Day Reeord at Bristol’s Gin. A record business has been done at Mr. L. B. Bristol cotton gin during the past few days. Mr. Bris- tol has bujit up a good seed eotton market and growers from far and near wiho prefer gelfing their pro- duct as it comes from the field are now hauling to Bristol’s gin. Tuesday 52 wagon loads of cotton were neceived at the gin, mearty al!) of it coming from the northerh section of the county, and 45 of the wagons..were unloaded and. their contente handled that day, while the remaining seven, which came in just about dark, were held tif nexh morning. The gin has to be op- erated the entire day and a portion of the night to meet the demands, but al) customers are taken care of. The cotton handled Tuesday ag- gregated about 40,000 pounds and a good part of it was bought by Mr. Bristol at from 3.50 to 3.75 cents the pound. At prevailing prices this cotton ginned in a sin- gle day is worth about $1,500,but if the staple was bringing the price it brought along about this time last year the amount would be near- er $3,000. A good many farmers wno are not willing to sell at the prevailing prices are having their staple ginned and stored, with the hope of getting a reasonable price tater. \ Sidewalk Improvement on Wes@ End Avenue, ’ Despite objections of persons owning property affected, the board of aldermen has ordered the grad-: ing and paving of both sidewalka of West End avenue from Kelly :to Mulberry street.

In a recent.issue of The Land- mark the editor had some comment on Mise Johuoson's book, “The Long Roll,” and he seemed inclined to the opinion that Mra. Stonewall Jackbon and the men who fought under Stonewall Jackson knew more of Jackson than Mise John- son; and if they pronounced Miss Johnaon’a pen pictures of Jackson not true to life, they were more than apt to be correct. Mrs. Jackson and the men who fought under Jackson (but especi- ally Mrs. Jackons) are least qual- ified to draw pen pictures of Jack- son, for the simple reason that love would blind them to the true Jack- eon. They would idealize him— would see none of his uncouthness, ungainliness or faults. Miss Johnson wert at Jackson from the cold-blooded standpoint of the student; and while she in no wise detracted from Jackson any of the fame he won as the great soldier and general, she painted him as he was. Jackson, in my opinion, was the grealest general the AméreaD continent has produced. But that he was an uncouth, ungainly, harsh aud unlovable man personally, has always been my opinion. I'd take Miss Johnson's pen pic- ture of Jackson before I’d take Mrs. Jackscn’s.

Heart-failure was ascribed by the attending physicians as the imme- diate cause of death. He was in his 6let year. Cel. Dockery was one of the Best koown and most popular citi- zene of his sections. He was probably. the largest farmer in this part of the State and was largely inter- ated iu other enterprises.

Kiections held yesterday in many States and cities throughout the country, reBulted in the election of Democratic Governors in Massa- chusetts, Kentucky, and Mississippi, a Republican Governor in Rhode Isl- and, a Republican Agsembly in New York, which will challenge the con- tinuance of Governor Dix’s policies, a New Jersey Legislature with ma- jorities probably not in accord with Governor Woodrow Wilson, of that State, with results of the State elections in Maryland and New Mexico still in doubt. New York State elected a Repub- lican Assembly, thus depriving Gov- ernor Dix, Democrat, of the sup port he has heretofgre had from a Legislature Democratic,in both branches. The present New York Assembly has a Democratic majority of 24. The newly-elected Assembly will have a Republican majority of upwards of 30. . Iu New York city (Manhattan aud Bronx) Tammany strength war materially reduced, but its candé- dates for judicial and county offices, were elected by greatly re- duced pluralities. In Brooklyn, the fusion judicial and county candidates were successful with perhaps one exception. Early returns from the State election in Maryland were incon- clusive as between Arthur P. Gor- man, Democratic candidate for Gov- eruor, and Phillips Lee Geldsbo- rough, Republican. On the first meager returns, Republican State Chairman Hanna claimed the State for Goldsborough. Mississippi elected a Democratic Governor and State officers by de- cisive majorities. The municipal elections in Ohio |resulted in the @lection of Henry |'T Hunt, Democrat, as mayor of |Ciacinnati; Newton D. Baker, Dem- oorat, as mayor of Cleveland; Geo |J. Karb, Democrat, as mayor of |}Coiumbus. President Taft cast his vote at Cincinnati Iu Kentucky James B. McCreary, ; Democrat. was clected Governor by a majority estimated at 20,000 to 149.000 A Democratic Legislature also was elected, which insured the j}cnoilce of Congressman Ollie James as United States Senator from Ken- tucky. { The first election held in the new State of New Mexico is still iu doubt, both the Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor cla:ming election on meager early returns. Indications point to a Republican Legislature which will €lect two Republican United States Senators. Socialist gains marked elections today and gave that party power ‘in districts where heretofore it had been unable to muster a counting | vote. In Schenectady, N. Y., lalists elected a mayor, all city of ficiale except one and a majority of the county board. In addition the |Assembly district in which Schen- ectady is located returned a Social- ist Assemblyman. Ohio was another winning {ground for the Socialists. The re turns secured in some of the cities, jin eight of which they elected may- ic |ors,gives them a total of thousands | in advance of any previous showing and pute them close in order, nu- msrically, with the two old parties. in Ohio, as well, where actual So- cial candidates were not elected, Progressives of more or less rad- ical views were returned by the Republicans Beside Schenectady, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton were the most favorable cities for the Socialist party. In the second Kansas congres- sional district, where a successor | to the late Congressman Mitchell was elected, the Socialists have made extensive gains. In several otner States, among them New Mex- ico, where Soctalists had a ticket in the field, further gains | were predicted. {Later rejyorts from Maryland |show the e:ecton of a Republican , Governor and a Democratic Legisla- ,ture, and a later report also says |New Mexico !s Democratic.] | See eee sateen a cemmpemer Did Miss Hedrick, of Salisbury, Commit Suicide?

Charlotte Observer. ’ The axiom that the danger of an arbitrary, government is never so great as when it begins turning to reform has been quoted, mith obvious pertinency, in discussion of the Chinese revolt. As usual in such cases, reform was delayed much too long. The Chinese gov- ernment showed itself like the Bourbon government of France. Now that it has evinced a willing- ness to yleld anything and every- thing, ite offere are ungraciousily and distrustfully received. * * * The danger now is not that the revolt will fail, but that it will go too far. Yuan Chi Kai, the ablest and moet progressive of living Ohi- nege statesmen, has resigned the premiership which he had accepted only a few days before. The popu- lar demand, evidently, is not a sane leader, a moderate, but for a Man who will go about recklessly, tearing things down. * * Since the revolt began the pop- ular antagonism to nationalization and foreignization of new railroad projects has become merged in the wider issues involved. China is re- belling against a largely alien and almost wholly corrupt oligarchy. There have been such rebellions before, but whereas all these were ingpired by HMttle more tham blind resentment, the present upheaval has behind it the manifold influ- ences for progress which have come in from abroad. It contemplates not merely the removal of un unendur- ably bad mandarin here or there, but a scheme of things under which bad mandarins will no longer exist. It bears no violently anti-foreign aspect, except in so far as the Manchus are concerned. It is not inspired by superstition or by the hardships of plague and famine— - though these last have been an im- MATTERS OF NEWS. Judge Walter A.

Griggs, Secretary and “ Treasurer Westbrooks Elevator Co. and formerly Cashier Bank of Danville, says: About ten years ago my eyesight began to failto such an extent that it became necessary for me to consult a specialist. My trouble in- creased until ] found it necessary to consult sev- oral gthare, My case was diagnosed as Atrophy of the Optic Nerve, caused by impoverished blood supply. progress of my trouble was slow put steady, with never any relief, until finally my physic me that nothing further could done. About this time, about two years , Feould not see to read, and my range ot wieion was so short that I could not see anything at a greater distance than fifty or seventy-five feet. I often found it difficult to recognize ac- uaintances when 1 met them, distinguishing them more by their voices than their features. {a May, 1908, a friend advised me that ‘if the physician's diagnosis was correct, MILAM will cure you, because it will purify and enrich the blood, increase the flow, and build up the sys- tem; but it will take a longtime and the im- provement be slow.’ “I did not believe one word of this, and con- rented to take MILAM because I did not think it eould hurt me, and there might be a bare possi- Pility that it might heip me. After six weeks’ ase | began to notice a slight improvement in my sight, which bas been slow but steady and with no setback. Now I can read newspapers with ordinary glasses, can distinguish large ob- jects two miles away, and have no difficulty now, as far as my sight is concerned, in attend- ing to my duties as the executive officer of a corporation. “I am stil] careful not to tax my eyes unrea- sonably, because I realise that I am not cured; but hope, and am more and more encouraged as time passes, to believe that the continued use of MILAM will cure me. “! think it proper to state that my general health and strength have also improved in tho same ratio as my eyesight, and | attribute this to the use of Milam.

Correspondents of the daily [eaters say the Guilford county com missioners have authorized the call ing of elections in seven townships in that county to pass on the ques tion of issuing bonds for building jthe proposed Randolph & Cumber land railroad, which will connect Southport and Elkin by a direct route .It is understood that this is to be affiliated with the Mills road from Raleigh to Southport. The name indicates that Fayetteville wil be one terminus of the new line and that it will run through Cumber- land, Lee, Moore and Randolph counties to,High Point, thence to Winston-Salem and on through Yad- kin to Elkin, where it will, connect with the Elkin and Alleghany road, now controHed by Mills. Promoters of the new road have kept their plans quiet, but have been industriously working upon the plan for some time and say that they are ready to carry through the undertaking; that the road will certainly be built; that it will be built by North Carolina capital and controlled by a directofate of men who live in the towns that are touched by it.. It will have con- nection with the four preat sys tems that reach the State—Atlantic Coast Line at Fayetteville; Sea- board Air Line at a point south of Sanford; the Southern at Ashe boro, High Point, Winston-Salem and Elkin; the Norfolk and Western at Winston-Galem. ——_—_—_— Estimated World Consumption of Cotten 20,000,000 Bales.

Provocations which the defence attempted to show today were based mainly on the testimony of Ulrich, who declared that he found Washington looking into the Keyhole of his apartment and also into the one opposite, and that Waskington struck the first blow; he also told the story of Mrs. Lau- ra Alvurez, with whom Ulrich board ed, who swore that whem she pass- ed Washington he said to her: “He:lo, sweetheart.” Wasuington’s ‘story on the stand was the same explanation he offered at the time of the altercation.

Reasons Why the Great Majestic You Should Buy: Ist It has the reputation of being the best Range money can buy. 2d. It not only has the reputation but IS the best Range made, and we will prove this to you if you will let us. It is constructed of malleable iron, material you can’t beat, and of Char- coal iron, material] that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel, is riveted together air tight. No heat escapes or cold air enters the range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect mee 4th. The reservoir alone is worth the price of range over any other reser- voir made. It boils 15 gallons of water, is heated like a tea kettle, with pock- et against left hand lining, and is movable and sets on a frame, hence cannot wear out. When water gets too hot it can be moved away from fire. Majestic Ranges use Jess fuel; heat more water—and heat it hotter; cost practically nothing for repairs; lasts three times as long; bakes better; easier to keep clean and gives better satisfaction than any other range on the market. If you know positively that the above statements are true, wouldn’t you buya Majestic at once? Come in Demonstration Week and we'll prove it to you. Demonstration We ONE WEEK ONLY.

And why the abeence of economy? The equip- | |ment is not sufficient, is not ade- | quate. ‘There is absolute lack.

Young children have not an abuyn- dance of milk and they should have dt, they need it. “And yet if some one should give the Home a herd of cattle tomorrow there are not barns enough to house the cattle and if nature should pour fonh a bounti- ful harvest, there is no place in which to garner or store it. “Ten thousand dollars in better- ments and general equipment along thege agricultural and induetrial lines is urgently needed. “Statistics show that out of a total of 466 churches over 100 give not a cent, “133 less than $100, 204 les@ than $25. “Nor are the Sunday schools sup porting the Home.

He said that he believed in “bread and molasses’ and plenty of it, but that something more was needed. He was sure that these children of the Home sometimes went to bed both cold and hungry, and that it wns a shame ‘nat this was the case He urged immediate and enthusiastic a0o- tion. ‘He was followed in his riag- ing, chaimant call by others and in seiieon $13,000 of the desired $50,000: was immediately, pledged. .

No. 36 is the east-bound train which arrives in Statesville at 11 a.. m. and No. 35 is the west-bound train which passes Statesville at 10.20 pm m. If these trains stopped at Eufo- la people of that section could spend the afternoon in Statesville a“ get home that night.

The reports will show @rogrem. Some have done g00d work and others probably not 80 Well, but the Methodist host is an advancing army. It is constant- 2y op the march.

But the Methodist army Ymnows what discipline means and & obeys orders. Every man will go @> thé work assigned and make the Mem of it. Here and there one may hulk and drop out, but @m the whole they will go cheer- @ully and enthusiasically to the “~Wotk and push forward the cause &m which they are enlisted—the ad- Wancement of the Master’s King- @om. The Methodist people have no weension to ‘‘call’” a pastor. One Will be gent, whether called or not. But if the folks don't want him ¢ the end of the year he will go elsewhere. It’s a great system they have. There are no vacant @harges. The pastor can't stay lomg enough to wear out. Four years is the limit. Viewed from eae standpoint it is a hard life — @rat of the Methodist clergy. But 4m thc main they. go on caéerrily, preaching a gospe) of hope and of @unshine, trying 80 to labor that they may, give g good account of Unéi¢ stewardship at the next An- mual Conference and to the Great Head of the Church when the final Conference meets. The drummers—the commercial tra velers—have decided to make war @a the tip in their organized ‘ca- Bacity, «r ali people who travei, Whether - be much or Kttle,_ will Rope for the success of this movemeni. From one standpoint it Gs all rigt’ “to give a tip to a serv- @nt at a hotel, or a train. porter, for éome special service rendered. Hut the ticuble is that this custom thas been abused until it has become « “hold-up” game, a recognized rob- bery. The great majority. of oe _—_ who travel cannot afford beral t:ps and sometimes it is a @acritice .o give even a small one Tre: man of wealth, or the spend- thefft,, tips liberally and recetves | @ptcial coneideration, while another, who fecis that he cannot afford that sort of thing, receives scant attention. Both pay for the came wervice at regular rates, but the Yip is « mecial bonus to get the full beuctiy of that for which one as already paid. At popular “Yesorts; on Pullman ears and other Places, the wages of employes are OMen reguiated with teference = to ““ips.That is, the men who fill these places are paid lower wa ges than they would otherwise receive, t consideration of the fact that While different religious sects have always! existed’and. will always exist—~r real union of all denomina- tions is- an idle dream—in later years the different denominations bave realized more fully than for- merly that mey exist for a common purpose and hence denominational differences are not accentuated as in former days, This being so, it is surpris‘ug ‘that two ménisters could get the consent of their minds to meet in debate and dis- cuss denominetional differences, as was done in Catawba county. a few days ago. These debates can do no good. Nobody is changed or help- ed by them. The report from the Catawba debate is that each side fe that its man won and hence each side was the more confirmed in ite belief. At the aame time denominational | differences were stressed and the denominations rep- resented by. these preachers,in that locality at jeast, will be more an- tagoniatic and instead of dwélling in peace and brotherly love, each going its own way but standing together in fighting the devil, they will probably devote much time to fighting each other. itis natural and proper for one -to be loyal to his denomination and to do what he can, within reasonable and proper limita, to build up and strengthen ‘he denomination to which he holds oliegiance. But the fellow who is alwaye stressing jthe views of his denomination, alWays going about with a chip on his shoulder seeking a controversy with some one of dif- ferent views, needa to examine himself and see if he has religion. Itis supposed that all these cenom- inauons are striving to make the world better and to help men to get to heaven. If that be go they should devote their efforts to the Main issue and have little talk anvul the side issues. The Landmark has had somethin; to say recently—solely, to keep | the record straight—about the | hanging of women in North Caro lina in past years. They not only | don’t hang women now, which is proper, but the trouble is they have | quit hanging men who deserve it. In connection with the subject of hangings, Chas. Williams, colored, | of Statesville, who has a copy of | Wiley’s North Carolina Reader, pub-| lished in 1851, cals The Land- | mark's attention to paragraph, page 121, chapter 25: “It may also be stated, as a singular fact, that up to the year 1708, there had been but one per- , gon executed for murder [in North Carolina], and he was a Turk; and but one capital execution is record- ed. This latter was of an old wo- man, put to death on suspicion of w’ tchoraft; a solitary instance of bigotry carried to acta of violence in North Carolina. A tinge of ihe peculiar feelings of the age was tor | awhile visible in the State, but the so't of this territory was more {rce froia religious intolerance, or big- 0:€G religious zeal, than that of any part of the civilized earth Su may it remain!" The Landmark’s suggestion that the time allowed attorneys for argument in the Superior Courts should be cut down moves the Hick- ory Democrat to say: The day of long speeches, sermons and tong editorials passed forever and ever. Amen. There is some improvement, Banks, but there are still too many preachers and laymen who never | know when to quit talking when they get on their feet.

J: Poe wre prayer. _ = cha: of Li was rea as qacotare lesson and the bishop expounded the Transfiguration. He waid: “There are th parts to this matory: the trans: on itself: the overshadowing cloud and the voice from the cloud. The Lard had gone up into the mountiin to pray; the disciples had gone up to sleep. If the Master could not get along without prayersurely we cannot. When thé element of pray- er. fades out of a man’s life, there i@ little beft. He prayed until he was transfigured until hie face was altered, until hia body became trans lucent, until his dusty raiment was white as mow. We have instances of the game thing in Mfe. Moses and Stephen are instances. Moses must veil hig face and the face of Stephen shone like the face of an angel. I have seen the same thing on the face of my mother after she had spent an hour in secret prayer. The disciples slept through it. all. The intensity of the ghory awoke them The awe of the awakening was eo great that the disciples did not enter {nto the conversation. When the guesta would depart Pe- ter found his voice. Seldom did the occasion arise when Peter had mothing to say. Usually he sald the right thing but he always had something to say. His pleading for @ permanent dwelling in the pres ence of the Celestial visitors was answered by the Master. Truly it was good to be there. But the Fa- ther said, ‘A greater than Moses or Eliag is here. This is my beloved son. Here ye Him. And the Son shal dwell in the house for ever.” The claws from the Children’s Home was presented and sang two beautiful selections. The minutes of yesterday's sewion were read and approved. B. A. York and J. A. Snow were anmounead as transfers from tbe North Carolina Conference. The name of D.- J. Miller was ordered stricken from the rolls. The name of L. E. Stacy was referred to the committee on Conference relations for the supernumerary relation. The classes of the different years were called. D. R. Proffitt, J. P. Hornbuckle, E. P. Stabler, L. W. Collins, R. K. Brady were ad- mitted into full connectiong. The chase for admission into full eonnection was called to the chap ee! and charged by the bishop in words that burned with love for the work and trembled with pathos as he pointed out the hardehips before these men. “A fife of in- cessant toil, and yet so sweet that at the end of effective service each of you will shed bitter tears at the thought of superannuation. To preach the gospel you must live #t. Then you can tear it out of your hearts quivering with Hfe.” Conversion is a great theme— Paud always goes back in his expe- rience to that scene on the Damas cus road, and yet it 1s only the starting point. The question is, “Are you going forward?’”’ Your path ends at the Father's throne, where you shall sit down. Is that too good to be believed? They tell us that the great preachers are 41) dead—that the newspapers have killed them. This is not 60. Let a man have a great message and all the roads to the meeting house will be thronged with people te hear it. Patchwork preachirg may be all right fora young man and peowe will say that you ere & Tymirvuble young man, but 't dces not consort with old age and bald heads and. ugliness. When you come to that, people will not list- en to you unless you have Bome~ thing to say on your own acconnt. REPORT BDUCATIONAL BOARD). TheBoard of Education submitted report No. 1, which was adopted. It embraced three points: ist, the election of an Educational Secneta- ry at a salary of $2,500 per annum. Rey L. B. Abernethy was elected to this position; 2d, the collection of $140,000; and 3d, the division of this amount as follows: Trinity College, $18,000; Greensboro Fe- male College, $11,960; Rutherford College, $25,000; Davenport Col- bege, $25,000; Weaverville College, $25,000; Jefferson School, $20,000; undirected, $15.040. Dr. C. W. Byrd read the report of the Sunday School Board. This report provoked the firat discus- sion of the Conference. Dr. Byrd and Dr. W. R.Ware discussed the matter of Decision Day, which was yecommended in the report, Dr. Byrd supporting andDr.Ware oppos- ing. The report requested that the Sunday schools observe rally day and on that day take a collection for the Model Sunday, School Room at the Southern Assembly Grounds at Waynesvilie. Rev. PT.

A.- Cole introdiiced a ‘resolu- tion favoring the ratification - of treaties of’ arbitration between the United States and other coun- tries as negatiated by the Presi- dent and rejected by the Senate. It was adopted . ae The following trustees of Jeffer- gon Schoob.were ebected: J. H. Weaver, H. ‘K. Boyer, L. T. Mann, E. L. Bain,R. M. Taybtor,G. T. Park, J .W Colvard, John Dent, R. L. Baliou,J. N. BaldwinJohn Thomas, T. J. Carson, W. W. Holsclaw, J. M. Edwards, W. H. Worth, Frank N. Neal. The committee appointed to pro- vide ways and means for raising the $56,000 for building the repre- sentative church in Washington City, reported that they had elected Rev. W. L. Sherrill to represent the committee in raising the amount pledged by the Conference. The second Sunday in mext March was set aside as a day, for the pastors to present the matter to their congregations. SATURDAY AFTERNOON. Conference was called to order by Bish.p Hose at 3 o’chock and Lev. G. H. Christenbury led in prayer The minutes of the morning rermion were read. amended and approyed Th Board of Trustees of the Chi'dren’s Home reported and Supt H. A. Hayes addinesesd the Conifer- euce concerning the progress and growth of thie great inetitution. The class for admission on trial was called and the following named young preachers were admitted on trial: F. A. Hawley, W. R. Shelton, A. B. Gibbs, W. B West, J. A. Marr, G. W. Everett, W. B. Davis, G. W. Wiltams, T. J Folger, M. T. Smath- ere, R. C. Kirk. The Missionary Anniversary Sat- urday night was one of the greet Oceasions of the Conference. Ev- ery seat in the t auditorium wes occupied despite the inclem- ency of the weather. . Rev. J. H.» West, president of the Board ‘of Missions, presided and Rev. Plato Durham led in prayer. Rev. H. K. Boyer, Missionary Sec- retary, addressed the Conference in regard to his work. Mr. BE. A. Cole, lay leader of the Charlotte district, delivered one of the most striking address es that has been heard at this session of the Conference. Untrain- ed in the arts of the orator, but with a flow of natural eboquence, in words chaste and origina), combin- ed in hie inimitable style, he gave a layman's view of the work of the Kingdom of God. His speech was a revelation of the gneat heart of the modern business man and prov- ed equally a revelation to the preachers who heard him. A just report of his remarks is impossible but he stirred the Conferemce to the depths. Dr.W.W. Pinson spoke and took a collection for cohlege for the training of native Cuban preachers, $101 being contributed. SUNDAY MORNING. After a love feast conducted by J. W. Jones, Dr. F. H. Wood and W. B. Lyda, the bishop announced hymn 106 and conducted the serv- ice according to the beautiful rit- ual of the Methodist Order of Wor- ship It is not generally known that this is the order of worship arranged by John Wesley for the early Methodist Societies. Dr. J C. Rowe led in prayer. The Children’s Home class aa... The sweetest music in heaven wili be the children singing and Prot Hayes’ iitthe ones will surely be in in that class. As they sang “The Holy City,” it seemed to many a weary heart, sick with bonging for a aight of the Hitthe faces gone be- fore, that the “Glory Gates’’ were juet ahead. The Father of the fath‘rless ones was very near to every soul in the great congre- gation. In passing we might say that Broad Street church has a most excellent choir of her own. I John, 3:2, was announced as the text. ‘“‘Belovedmow we be the sons of God,’ etc. The bishop point- ed out the three relations which a man may suétain to God— the servant, the friend and the son. The last relation wae the subject of the discourse. He said in part: There is no advance on sonship but there is advance in it. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. All oth- er men become sons of God by spiritual services. The relation of sonship to the Father impllies broth- erhood with Jesus Christ. The man who achieves success in this world of abounding possibilities and then looks with contempt upon his less fortumate brethren always has some- thing of the scrub in him. As Jo- seph led his dusty, unfaithful breth- ren into the court and introduced them to the King, so our brother jleade us into the house of the Father and introduces us to Him. The Son is chiastiaed. Pain is not in pumishmett of sin but it is the process through which perfec- tion {s attained. We can bear any burden, walking free beneath any burden His hands places upon our shoulders, We can drink any cup |His hand mixes and presses to our lips. The second phase of this sub- ject has to do with the future. line and R. M. Hoyle supported it. The pection directing the disposi- tion of the money collected on this day, was stricken out. A preliminary report from the Board of Missions was received and adopted, |‘“‘We shall see Him as He is.”” I | know men and women the sight of |whose face makes mine to glow.

H. H. Jordan led in prayer. , The al State of the Church was C. H. Neal read the report made such remarks ae only can make. He proposed the tion of a secretary, for the minute’ fund and that he be paid a good salary to eee that the minutés ane read in every home. This report elicited much discussion. H. K. Boyer, C. W. Byrd and J. 8. Mar- tin and others discussed this able report. Dr. G. T. Rowe read report No, 2 of the Board of Education. Dr. W. P. Few, president of Trinity and ‘f {dent Few announced the purpose of proposed to increase the endow- ment of the college by $1,000,000. This Conference will endeavor to raise $100,000 of this fund within its bounds. It is hoped that. this sum will be secured by June 13, 1912. President O. 8. Dean was in- troduced and spoke of the work of Weaverville College. President J. A. Baldwin told of the wonderfal results achieved by the Southern In- dustrial Institute. The report of the Board of Educa- tion was adopted. The Epworth League report was read by J. F. Armstrong. Committees on Confer- ence Relations reported and this was adopted. The report on temperance pledged the members of the Conference not to subscribe for or purchaés news papers in which liquor advertige- ments appear. Several of the State papers came in for severe criticiam in the discussion which followed. A substitute was adopted which drew some of the teeth from the report. The Conference adjourned to meet at 3 o’cbock. RESOLUTION OF THANKS.

THE STORM DEMO )LISHED BARN. Mr. Lee Albertson and His Som and Daughter Hurt—An Ir ides «+t Sunday's Storm. A large barn on Mr. Lee Aibett- son’s place, east of town, was blown down during the wind and rain storm which vigited the vicinity about 12.30 Sunday and Mr. Albert- gon, bis som, Samuel Albertaon, and his little girl, Pauline Albert- eon, who were in the building at the time, were all hurt, th not seriously. A mule was @ badly hurt. Mr. Albertson’s left shoulder wae dislocated and ie was considerably bruised. Hig som, who ig about 17 years oMl, re- ceived several cuts and bruises, as the little girl, three or fowr years old, wae elightly injured about the face and elsewhere. : Mr. Albertgon had been'in the barn loft with his little girl to bet her have a romp on the hay and realizing theapproach of thesetorm was in the actof coming down from ube loft, with the hope of getting to the hiouse before the storm broke, mhien the wind came and the bailding went down before it. Samuel Albertson had taken one mule to water and had gone inte the barn after the other when he was caught by the falling building. Mr. Albertaon managed to free him- self from the wreckage at once and despite his injuries aleo res cued the little girl. Samuel Albert- Son was rather tightly wedged be- neath the wreckage and it was with difficulty that he worked hie way out. Help had arrived before he got out, but he needed no asaist- ance. The mule was pinned to the ground beneath much heavy timber and it requined much hard work te Nberate him. The animal was bad- ly cut and bruised, but no bones are broken and’ its recovery is ex- pected. Mra. Albertaon. was alone at the house when the barn went down and was naturally badly frightens%. She called for help by, telephone aud Messrs. Pink Eagle, Hill Knight aud other neighbors wene soon on the scene and aided in rescuing the Mule and giving the injured tem- Wireare relief. It was a* first thought thatMr.Albertson had been fata:'s i urt am@ a report ect abroad in Statesville that he had killed,but on thearrivalh of physi-.. no cer found that no one of e ur was dangerously hurt. The barn was a large and unusu- ally tall building. it was practi- cally new, but is said to have been insecurely constructed and was considered by many to be. unsafe. The wind was apparently stronger in that section than else- where, and quite a number of fruit trees and some timber was blown down. MRS. OLARA GIBSON DBAD. Widow of the Late W. N.

He is the Rev. Ben min M. Brown, pastor of Onward am church, and he has @edided that “of all neglected men the millionairés of Chicago are the most conspicuous.” Therefore a wampaign for their spiritual sal- vation will be launched. The mail going to the houses of a thousand rich men of Chicago on Saturday af ternoons in the future will carry yed post-cards telling each one not to be discouraged, not to despair, for in the Rev. Mr. Brown he has @ friend, who has prepared to send him the gospe) in a modern,up-to- @ate way. One day the postal will way: “Follow the God-given dictates ef your conscience—‘that’s all. On another day the postal will vead: “Let the gospel be your rule of life—‘there’s a reason.’’ It’s a question whether the mil- honaires wi] consider the Rév. Mr. Brown a friend; instead they may look upon him as an enemy seeking te annoy them by suggesting un- pleesant things. It is entirely pos sible, of course, for one to be rich, even a williomaire, and be a “good mas In fact some of the million- aires pass for very pious men. But the generally accepted view is that ene who accumulates great wealth finds it necessary to lay aside many conscientious scruples; that & the golden rule, the rights of ethers, the honest, square deal were always practiced, the number ef millionaires would be few. There- fore, when the Rev. Mr. Brown ad- vises the millionaires to follow the To the Editor of TheLandmark: In this vicinity near’ 100 North Carolindang have made their homes, The majority of them came, from around Statesville and the semi- weekly Landmark is a kind of an- nex to the Bible among them, Mr. J. W. A. Kerr's article on oM Centre church, in your issue of October 3d, was specially interegt- lug to me. I was born and raised near the trail of Cornwallis, Morgan and Green, as they passed from South Carolina up the Catawbe river and on to Guilford Court House. All of our neighbors, about the age of my father and some a great deal older, were familiar, by tradition, with all the incidents of that cam- paign. Thos. O. Godsey, who lived almost a century in the neighbor- nood of Davidson College and was a soldier under Jackson at New Or- leans, had accumulated many inci- dents and traditions of Revolution- ary times and whem a very young boy I heard him relate them to my father. I am _ very sorry now that I can only. remember a very few of them. Morgan and Green, on their re treat from South Carolina, followed a road to the west of the Catawba river with Cornwallis close at their heels. When they reached Beattie's ford—not Sherrill’s ford, as relat- ed by Mr. Kerr—Cornwallis had reached the river at a point 20 miles south of Beattie’s ford. Both armies were traveling north but to reach Salisbury the patriots wouhd have to cross the river and march east. So Cornwallis, if he could cross the river where ha was, could beat Green and Morgan to Salisbury, but there was no ford where he could cross that he knew of, and the few people living in the “God-given dictates of conscience”’ vicinity were intensely patriotic ed, and the sides, rear and back. the Lost Cause in his makeup. He related the part his family had taken in the war. He sald: “My son Robert (the one who came tack to North Carolina and’ lived wear Charlotte), when Lee tnveded the North. swam his horse across the Potomac and was the first Con- federate soldier to set his foot ouMuarvland soil and my son Crozier was captured by the Yankees and taken out of prison and made work on the fortifications of Nashville with ball and chain on his legs.” A large pert of the present readers of The Landmark will prob- ably have some difficulty in uader- standing why Mr. Kerr should take up 80 much space to relate the fol- loving: “On the road from: Centre to Statesville (known as the Falls road) ‘u time far in the past, two men going home from preaching on Sunday, concluded to run a horse race. The horse of one of them shied and left the road and threw his rider against a post oak tree and killed him at a point half-mile from the church.” Those. of us who have reached the age of three-score years and -' who nad the good luck to survive the rigors of the old Presbyterian dis- pensation well know what a commo- ‘,30n would be raised in the com- munity by a man being killed on Senday going home from preaching and within a half mike of the church and graveyard.

All depa ganized Sunday | work will re- celye attention and) all present will have the privilege of asking questions concerning Sunday school, work, equipment and management. The gathering should greatly, stim- ulate Sunday school activity in our midst } The latest report of the Inter national Sunday School Association, of which the -county > association will be a part, shows there are 173,459 Sunday schoola in North America. The past three years the increase has been 107 new Sun- day schools a day for every day of Che triennium 1908-1911. The en- rollment of the Sunday schoole is 16,617,350, an increage of 1,507,178 in three years This means that 1,576 new members join the Sunday school for every day in the year; 53,380 Sunday school conventions have been held, which is 17,793 Per year, or 48 for every day in the year; 1,193,422 Sunday school scholars joined the Church in the Past three years. This means the conversion of over 1,000 souls a day. An organization that is instru- mental in accomplishing this much toward our religious uplift, should have the co-operation of all Chris- tian. workers, and it is expected that thie couwity Sunday school work ers will enter heartily into the plans of the State asBociation to make our county among the best Sunday school counties in the State.

The Fisher’s River Primitive Bap- tist Association was in session in Surry county a few days ago and of its proceedings the Mt. Airy News says: “The most important business of the sessions was that of the qués- tion sept up by another association asking if this associaton endorses the doctrine and practice of Elder James D. Draughn. It seems that some of the Primitive Baptist churches are under the im- pression that Mr. Draughara is too much of a “progressive,” as some have expressed it, in his preach- ing. They charge that he preaches doctrine: too much like that preach- ed by other denominations. Just what the charges ane we are not informed sufficiently wel to under- take to give them, but it is all a }question of what the Primitive Bap- tist people believe and what they hold is hawful in the way of a min- ister taking money for his servi- cts. It seems that Mr. Draugm has often gone to churches in other Stat+s, and being a man of no small ability he preaches the gospel in a way that the people pay him, and repcert say8 he gets as much money for his services as is common for the people to pay ministers of other churches. The Primitive Bap- tist people have always stood out firmly against making merchandise of the gospel and they denounce | anything like a salary such as is common for ministers to receive in many of the churches of other denominations. “The association decided after a lengthy discussion that it was not a question for that bodly. to pset- | tle, but nefenred the whole matter jto Mr. Draughm’s home charch, Dover, near White Plains. The churches are expected to send del- egates, who will meet with Dover |chunch and hear and decide finally any charges that may be brought tagainet Mr. Draughn. The time on this meeting will be appointed ater.”’ 3 | How Mr. Scales Led the Way to | Help the Orphanage.

An Innovation in Oil Heaters The Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater, with its drums enameled in turquoise, is an ornament to any room, whether in the country or city home. No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil Heater. It is a necessity in the fall and spring, when it is too warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to be without heat. In the midst of winter it is often convenient as an auxiliary heater, as there are always some cold corners in a house. The enameled heater always presents a mice appearance, as the enamel will not tamish or burn off. It is not an “enamel paint,” but it is the same as the enamel of your cooking utensils. The Perfection is the most reliable and convenient portable heating device you can find. An automatically-locking flame spreader prevents turning the wick high enough to smoke.

C CATARRH OF STOMACH! Indigestion and Stomach Agony Quickly Ended. If you went to thirty doctors and paid each his fee for a prescrip- tion for indigestion or stomach mis- ery, it is ten chances to one you wouldn’t get such a good prescrip- tion as the one from which MI-O- NA stomach tablets are made. How can such a thing be? naturally ask. Simply because the man who wrote the prescription from which MI-O-NA tablets are made knows more about stomach diseases than 96 per cent. of all the physicians in America, and he gets paid for knowing. And when you can get a large box of tablets made from this doc- tor's prescription for only 50 cents, are youn going to continue to suffer?

Statesville Women Are Finding Re lief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and paing that afflict humanity; they must ‘‘keep up,’’ must attend to duties in spite of constantly ach- ing backs, dizzy spells, bearing~iowh pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with rack- ing pains and many aches from kid- WAOTS ABOUT THE Senator’ Overman Tells of His Re- cam Visit of Inspection. or. It haying been announced by the president of the canal commission that boats could probably be passing through the canal by July, 1913, in- stead of 19 5, it became necessary that répresentatives of committees interested should visit the canal before Congress meets in order to be able to pass upon toll rates, appropriations necessary to continue the work, etc. This first party, consisting of twenty dersons, including wives of some the members, sailed on the 15th of October. The tripdown was delight- ful and consumed a week. A week was spent on the isthmus, during which time the committee went the length of the canal several times In estimating cost of building the two systems of canal engineers were badly mistaken. They stated that $178,000,000 would be required for lock and dam and $250,000,000 for sea level system It is now estimated that the cost of building will be $350,- 000,000. When completed the an- nual cost of maintaining will be $3,- 500,000 and 2,400 men will be re- quired. These large figures partly influenced Senator Overman in_ his fight for the sea level system which could be operated for a small fraction of this cost. There were other reas- ons—the eliminating of great hazards in time of war, necessity of fortifica- tions and protection of the dams. Senator Overman says no one can get an idea of the immensity of the work from printed description or pho- ney ills. Kidneys cause more euf- fering than any other organ of the body.

It is hoped| that when water is turned intothe cut! these slides will cease. The dam we hear referred to so often is noordina- ry dam but is a mountain—110 feet high, one and a half miles long and |about a half mile wide at the base.

Wilk Do Soutifjern Songs and Eng- Meh Ballads in Concert and So- cial Work. ’ Statesville people will be inter- ested to learn that Miss Gertrude Wood, a native of this town and who still calls it home, has an engagement to sing in concert and social! workin and around New York. Mies Wood has been studying voice tor some time. Tuesday eve- ming, the 7th, she sang in New York for one of the editors of the Sawyer, one of the best known womem managers in New York. As a result of that trial Miss Wood completed arrangements with Mrs. Sawyer for a year’s engagement to dio Southern songs and English bal- lade in concert and social work in and around New York. In a notice of Mrs. Sawyers rise in the “managerial world,” Musical America says: ‘‘Within two yedrs Antonia Sawyer has estab- Mshed herself as a metropolitan Manager of musical artists and sing- ere. Her attractive offices on the third floor of the Metropolitan Op- era House indicate prosperity. The surroundings are those of the wo- man of refinement and all who have visited Mrs. Sawyer’s offices de Part feeling that she has chosen Che right niche for her talent. However, Mrs. Sawyer attributes her success tq€ncouragement from Various sources.” Mrs. Sawyer, Musical America further says, is a relative of Bev. J. Minot Savage, a Boted minister. Miss Wood's Statesville friends will. be pleased to know that she is to begin her musical career un- der such favorable auspices and they feel sure that she will succeed.

Toota not only go through joints of the pipe, but, strange eas it may seemZhey penetrate the terra cotta. The other day a pipe on Davie avenue was obstructed and when Supt. Neely, of the water department, investigated, he found that a mass of fine roots had com- pletely filled a 44nch terra. cotta Pipe that conveys water from the flush tank to the sewer. The roots formed a solid roll inside the pipe and when pulled out the mass remained a compact roll, about a yard and a half long, that very much resembled one of these big fur boas the ladies wear around Tre people who want to cut trees on all occasions, with or without Provocation, will naturally suggest that the trees should be cut down. By no means! The remedy is to put in iron pipes. The roots won't go through iron. The Lot Sale Tuesday. Thirty-five lots, a portion of the W. D. Turner property, were sold at the auction sale conducted by the Southern Land and Auction Co. Wednesday, and Mr. C. S. Holland was the final purchaser at $3,601. The lote were first sold separate- ly, with the understanding that they would be offered as a whole at the conclusion of the sale, and the total amunt of the separate bids was $3,258. The sale was conducted in a high-class manner and was attend- ed by a good crowd, but the bild- ders for the lots were few and it is admitted by real estate men that the bids were low considering the location of the property. There were a number of special attractions in connection with the sale. The Statesville Mechanics’ Band furnished music, there was a high wire stunt, $25 in gold and two watches were given away for the best’ guesses on the prices. of Whio Wants to Go to Chicago?

In its issue of October 3ist, The Landmark printed the following item: “The North Wilkesboro Hustler says that J. B. Culler, who will be 102 years old on the 12¢h of next March, and who has been living with bis daughter in Watauga county, has come to Wilkes to spend the remainder of his days at the home of his son, Govan Culler. The Hustler says the records of the court at Orangeburg, S. C., show that Mr. Culler was born in 1810.” Seeing this item, Mr. R. H. May- nard, a photographer of North Wilkesboro, drove to the home of Mr. Govan Culler, about two miles from that town, and interviewed the elder Mr. Culler, now in his 102d year, and his family, and he feels sure that Mr. Culler is as old as represented. In addition Mr. Maymard made a number of photographs of the old gentleman, one of which he sent The Land- mark and it is now on emhibition at this office. Deaths.

Horton, of North Wilkesboro, president of the Wilkes County; Good Roads Association, has written to Statesville for informatior concerning the purpose of. this county to build a good road to theWilkes line,in the nef, of Lovelace. Mr. Horton says the Wilkes people are extremely anxX-+ ious to get an outlet south tnto the National Highway, either via Taylorsville and Statesville or through the Hunting Creek sec- tion, whichever seems to be the best outlet and will offer thre best assistance to build the road .He Says Mr. L. W. Lunsford, of Love- lace, is raising money by private subscription to improve the road from Lovelace to North Wilkesboro and that a road can be buii from Lovelace to the Iredell line at small cost. Mr. Horton points out that « good road from North Wilkesboro toStatesville would be an advantage to both towns as well as the people along the line; that while it would give Wilkes people an out- let south it would give our peo~ ple and those to the south of us an outlet to the Blue Ridge and Brushy mountains; that at North Wilkesboro connection would be mad2 with a gyaded turnpike to Jefferson; that with a Ijttle re- surfacing this turnpike could be made a fine tourist road and that a movement is now on foot to re- 6urface the road and put on next spring a regular passenger and freight truck between North Wilkes boro and Jefferson. Iredell has already built a good road to Turnersburg which, it “‘# understodd, will be continued to the Yadkin line, and as other roads will be built in that part of the county it would seem that an arrangement could easily, be made to have one of them connect at the.

Richmond Dispatch, 15th. Governor Mann today declined to interfere in the case of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., and the young wife murderer's last hope of evad- iug the electric chair on Friday, No- vember 24, was swept away. Attorneys for the condemned man held their last conference with theGovernor during the morning and just before noon the latter announc ed his intention not to interfere in any way with the decnee of the Chesterfield county court, which was sustained by the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State. A peti- tion had presented to the Governor praying for a respite of at beast 30 days for spiritual prep anation. In a signed statement Governor Mann said in part: “I followed this case during the trial and as its horrible facts were developed, regretted that a crime so cruel and malicious should have occurred within the confines of this State. “Inthe decision of every question which was presented to the abile and impartial judge who presided at the trial, he was careful to give the benefit of every reasonable doubt to the prisoner; that he did not err ds shown jn the refusal of the Supreme Court of Appeals to grant a writ of error. “That Beattie is guilty of the wilful, deliberate and cruel mur- der of his young wife, I have not the slightest doubt; nor is it insist- ed that there shall be any greater relief afforded than the commuta- tion of his sentencce to imprison- Ment for life. “I do not think the affidavits of Paul Beattie, printed in the pa- pers, or any other evidence or con- sideration brought to my attention suffidient for that purpose. “To grant a respite in so plala a case would be to set a precedent, would be to temporize with the law aadto encourage appeals tovie Su- preme Court with the sole purpose of gaining time. I believe the best way to prevent such crimes as this is to punish them adequately, cer- tainly, epeedily. Therefore the judgment of the Circuit Court of fect without interference from me.” Marriagr at Troutman—Difficult Op- exjtion. Correspendence of The Landmark. Troutman, Nov. 16—There was a pretty home wedding here yester- day at 3 o’clock—a quiet, modest affair, but in the presence of a host of warm friends. Mr .Lester Rumple, the groom, Miss Cora Holt- shouser, the bride. Rev. W. M. Waish was the officiating minis- ter. Many, many friends the well wishers. The ceremony, was of course im the home of the brides father, Mr. Milas Holtshouser, which home the bride had adorned as a rare jéwel for more than 20 years. The array of wedding ‘pres ents was unusually large and varied, in fact was such a display as is aeldom seen at a_village wedding. After the ceremony the new- ly-joinéd tMman and wife drove to the home of the groom's father,where last night a wedding reception was given them A number of out-of- town guests were here for the ceremony. Last afternoon Drs. Kbuttz and Long . performed that very intri- cate operation known as intubation, on the 2-year-old son of Mr. T. I. Clodfelter. This child was with- in the throes of death and the membranes of the throat were prac- ticdlly closed. It had fought against uneven odds umtil almost overcome with, exhaustion and even a few more minutes the operation would have beem useless. However, in three minutes after the opera- tion the child was breathing easily and last night slept well. It is said there are few physicians in the State who-can perform this very difficult operation, and that even they do go only as a last re- sort. Unpickpd Cotton in Wilson-—Aver- age Yield Heavy.

When asked the reason why, he said: “I can’t afford to pay the prices asked by the pickers; would rather the staple should remain where it is than to pay, the price asked for the housing.” The same correspondent says an- other Wilson coumty farmer has picked 35 bales of cotton from 16 acres and|hastwo bales yet to pick; and the correspondent ‘expresses the opinion that the average yield of cotton in Wilson county is mre than a bale to the aone.

It is aot a question for the intellect. Her effort to appear unconcerned under Stress of great excitement is one of lfe’s futilities. Brave, brave men! Gof bless you! That doubtless expresses fully and clearly the feelings of the Preachers on such occasions. “Why @o men become itinerant preachers’? and “Why do women marry, Meth- odist preachers?’ There is a world of meaning in these questions, If The Landmark had been asking the last question it would have put it, “Why do wo- men marry preachers?” for it has always seemed to it that of all wo- @en the pastor’s wife takes on the greatest burden, bas the most trying position. She hes a harder time, generalily speaking, than the Preacher. The man who appre fiates what he is doing enters the Ministry because of a great and Durning love for the Master and His. cause and a great love for hu- @mnity—a desire to promote the Master's cause and to help gave the @ouls of men; and the woman who becomes the preacher’s wife, if whe has any adequate conception of what she is doing, must be actuat- ‘ed in some measure by the same motives. In any event, all true ministers and their wives deserve mot only the respect but the kind- Jy consideration and help of all Reople. In the hurry of preparing copy for @ newspaper an editor will often fam in an item that seems unusual “it's the unusual that’s news, yow ®mow— without giving it serious thought, only to find afterward thet a litle reflection would have shown the item to be absurd. For inetance The Landmark a few days @s0 copied from one of its exchanges @& paragraph making the statement Mhat there are 53 Sundays in this Wear of Gmace, and coupled with this statement was the further as ®ertion that there would not be a @imilar occurrence again for more then 100 years—until 2020 in fact. ‘The Greenstioro Record printed the Bame item along and as a result one of its readers handed it the follow- ing: A school boy ten years old ought to kmow that every seventh year would contain that number of Sab- 6 if there were no leap years @ausing it to occurr oftener. As ™: matter of fact, it will occur @@ain in five years, as it always after a year having that num- Ser that immediately precedes leap year, and also after a leap year Deginning on the Sabbath. In oth- @r cases it occurs every six years. There will be seven more years hav- ang this number in the first half of t century. That’s where The Landmark and the Record fell down, Col. Reece, but the consolation is that “even W@omer nods.” fe The Loulsburg Times has the Soliowing: A friend of ours who recently paid a visit to Nash county reports the following item to us: Willie Gaylor, a colored man liv- Ang on the land of J.

Publishers’ Auxilary. ' Special agents of the Postoffice Department are traveling around the country, dropping into news. paper offices when least expected to examine subscription lists, to as- certain if the regmiations requiring payment in advance is being observ- ed. Several newspapers have been in trouble and here ip a story told by the Des Moines Capitol: “Editor Fay, of Lyons, Iowa, has been called to Washington city be- cause his subscription lst is not as well paid up as the law requirea He will have to explain to the gov- ernment officials why he has not compplled his subscribers to pay, up according to the postal rules.’ The Bee, a newspaper published at Jefferson, Ia., has been jerked up. This is what the editor said about it: “The Bee this morning, received its official summons from the Post- office Department to conform with the ruling which requires the pay in advance. We can no longer send the paper to delinquents, no matter how willing we may be to accom- modate them,” [The rudes of the Postoffice“ De- partment dio not require strictly cash-in-advance payments but credit is limited. For a weekly paper the time is not longer than a year; a semi-weekly nine months and for a daily less time. If a paper ex- ceeds this limit in the matter of credit it is liable to be assessed one cent postage for each copy. The rule has not been strictly enforced and few, if amy, publishers have ob- served it to the letter; but it is inferred from the above that the postal authorities are getting busy. —-The Landmark. ] Attorney Gieneyal Pleads Lack of Information.

Other Countries Want to Import Wood Pulp Free. Washington Dispatch. Governments ofBurope are claim- ing the treaty right of the free ad+ mission into the United States of wood pulp and print and other pa- per from their respective countries. Norway and Sweden and, it is un- derstood, Germany also, have for- mally invoked the most favored na- tion clause of their respective com- mercial treaties with this country by reason of the fact that wood pulp and its products are across the border from Canada im- to the United States free of import charge. The Secretaries of 8 Treasury and the Attorney General are now considering the matter, which wilh soon be laid before the President. As the point involved is an interpretation of treaty rights the problem will not be referred to Congress, but will be solved by the Executive, although it is admitted the importers may throw the ques- tion into the courts if the Presi- dent’s decision is adverse. Canada enjoys this tariff advan- tage under section 2 of the reciproc- ity agreement, the only operative clauege of the proposed pact. ‘As this feature was not dependent up- ou concurrent action by Caitiada, if was not affected by the revert rekction of reciprocity at the polls by the people of the Dominioa Horse Fell on Boy and Killed Him.

Solicitor Hammer Gives Good vige, But Not For Lawyers. Greensboro Record. Here is mighty good advice from {the Asheboro Courier, whose editor is a, fine lawyer: “One of the things which all neighbors should do is to arbitrate all ménor differences in the na- jture of civil actions. An arbitra- |tiom court is not difficult to or- |ganize. The arbitrators should be sworm to do tHeir duty and ad- |minister justice impartially. The | witnesses can be sworn and state jtheir case.

Bufola, Nov. 13——-I notice in the last iepue of The Landmark that the Statesville people were going to petition the Southern raibway to have trains Nos. 35 and 36 stop at Eufola and that the Evfola people should beetir themselves on this matter. We are glad to say that they have and will do all they cam to bring this to pass. A petition has been drawn and already many have signed it and many more wil. The Long Island Cotton Mill people are. anxious and working for the game thing and will also petition for the same. As has been said, it would accom- modate a great many. people to have these trains stop at Eufola. There is no connection to Charbotte or anywhere on the A., T. & O. going) toward Charlotte except on No. 12 at night, whereas if we had a morning train,which 36 would be, we could leave here in the morning, go to Charlotte and back home,mak- ing connection with No. 35 the same day. Neither is there any connection from Barber Junction to- ward Winston, umless we could leave Eufola# on No. 36, nor come home from Winston unless No. 35 stopped at Bufola. So it’s plain that if these trains were reguler or flag stops for Eufola many .peo- ple would be accommodated and we don’t see why the railroad peq- ple shouldn't give the Eufola people the benefit of these two trains. Mr. G. H. Shook, who sold hie property at Eufola and bought im Robeson county some time ago, will move his family there this week, leaving Tuesday. We are sorry to lose Mr, Shook and family ~ and wish them much success in their new home. Mr. J. T. Stevenson will move this week to the new house bought of Mr. Shook and Mr. T. M.

Virginia Supreme Court Says Judg- ment of Lower Court is Sorcect Richmond, Va., Dispatch, 13th. By, refusing today to grant an ap- peal.in. the case of . Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., convicted in’ Chester- field county on September 8 for the murder of his wife, the Virginia Bu- preme Court takes away from @ condemoed man /his last hope of escaping execution on November 24 unless Governor Mann should in- terfere. While deciining tonight to comment on the court’s ruling Governor Mann announced that he will issue a statement tomorrow af- ter a conference with Beattie’s lawyers, who are still fighting dies- perately in his behalf. There is a bare possibility that the Governor will grant a brief reapite, although this is by no means certain. Contrary, to the expectation /of lawyers generally, the court filed no written opinion giving its reason for not allowing an appeal. In the presence of the entire court Chief Justice James Keith made this of- ficial statement to the clerk: “In the Beattie case, the being of opinion that the judgment of the lower court is plainly right, doth refuse the petition for a writ of error.” Seventeen bills of exceptions were filed with the higher court by Beattie’s counsel. were cit- ed in an attempt to show that in the closing address to the juryPros- ecutor Wendenburg had erred in demand that Virginia should open the graves of .all- murderers hanged heretofore and apologize to their bones if Beattie should be permitted to go free. ' Early this afternoon x. : Beattie, Sr., went to the peniten- tiary aud was escorted to the death chamber, where he, ina faltering voice, notified his son that the ap peal had been denied. The pris- oner’s iron nerve did not desert He did not seem to feel or comprehend its meaning,but endeav- ored manfully to comfort his old father, whose grief was intense. Joseph Pulitzer Made Many Public Bequests. The will of Joseph Pulitzer, late editor publisher of the New York Worbd, has been filed for Ppro- bate. Its conspicuous features are |the ratification of the gift of $1, 000,000 to Columbia University for the establishment of a school of journalism, and algo the rat- Pee of an additional $1,000,- 000 for the same purpose, subject to certain conditions which if not complied with by Cohmbia before the amount is paid over, will result in the sum going to Harvard Uni- versity. one-half of it for a sdhiool of journalism and one-half for | prizes and scholarships as get | forth in the will. | The document also sets forth 4 large nuniber of interesting bequests not previously known. Among these is $250,000 for a scholarship fuad at Columbia University; $500,000 | te the Metropolitan Museum of Art; | £500,000 to the Philharmonic §o- | clety of New York; $10,000 to Mr. Pulitzer’s faithful valet, Jabes Dun- Dingham; $100,000 to be distributed by the executors among his person- | al secretaries, readers and compa n- fons and certain editorial writers | employed on the World; $50,000 | for the erection ef a fountain in | Central Park, $25,000 for the erec- | tion of a statue of Thomas Jeffersor | in New York city and some minor | bequests. The capital stock of his two Newspapers, the World and St. Lou- is Post-Dispatch, are left in trust | for his sons and their male issue | during the Hves of the two young- er sons. Carolina Union Farmer. The last man in the world who should place himself in the ridic- ulous and inconsistent attitude of cussing out the bear speculators in cotton is the puny little short- sighted farmer who permitted him- self to enter the gambling ring: by Planting a ‘erop to the neglect of living at home. He now finds himself not only guilty of putting up his owm labor and the labor of his wife and children to “bet” on cotton, but he actually bought fer- tilizer on time, at 20 per cent. per annum interest,and put up that to “‘bet”’ and gamble on cotton, thus jeopardizing his owm crop and standing in the community whete he lives. And then when these little hayseed cotton gamblers go on the market to buy Western hay at $30 a ton, which they can produce at home at $5 per ton, Western corn at $1 per bushel, which they can producé at 20 cents a bushel, West- ern meat at 10 cents which they can produce at home at 5 cents, they set up another tremendous howl about the robbery of the middlemen and speculators! When a farmer Produces cotton to buy food pro- ducts that can be raised at home as cheaply as anywhere, it’s a dou- ble-barreled economic mistake, for the more cotton he makes the less he gete for it. The relative price of food products (which he has to my with’ low-priced cotton) goee higher and the cotton farmer (gambler) gets hit hard at both ends of the proposition . , eens There is more Catarrh in this sec- tion of the, country than all other dis- eases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable, For a great many years doctors Pronounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment. Pronounced it incurable. Sclenbe has Proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & (Co.

The stories of the embarrassment of umsophistocated diners when faced by highly sophistocated me- nu cards are endlese—and usually amusing.

The public seryice commission of New York has decided a fight which has been going on before that commission between the Postal iclegraph Company and the West- ern Union for a year an’ a half. The commission holds that the West ern Union has been practicing s- crimination against the Postal and has ordered that it be stopped. It appears that where the Postal Com- pany has messages destined to pointe not reached by the Postal lines, the Postal Company has car- ried them as far as it could and then turned them over to the West- ern Union for final transmission. The Western Union has insisted that from three to five words be added tO the messages and that the Postal pay for the transmission of these additional words. The pub lic service commission decides that this is an illegal charge and or- ders "the Western Union to discon- tinue it. ° The decree says: “Clearly a Public service corporation must ex- tend precisely the pame facilities to a competitor as it does to the entire world. It can make no dis- tinction between those offering business. It must charge them alike and serve them alike.”’ This decision may have an impor- tant bearing on the demand of the independent telephone companies that the Bell companies shall fur- nish the former with the same fa- cilities which are furnished to the public. It means a large saving; of Twoney, to the Postal company. — School Openings and Suggestions About Them—Othier Items. Correspondence of The Landmark. Mr. J. R. Myers is again teach- ing public school in the Barkley, school house. Mr. T. H. Williams is teaching at Enola; Miss Pearle Shuford at Amity, and Miss Mattie Tolbert again at the Plyler house. Mr. B. C. Howard has gone from R. F. D. 1 to teach a school on R. F. D. 2 from Mooresville, and Miss Julia Lentz 4s teaching at Elpi- cora. Owing to the scarcity of late cotton picking and the increased length of term, the public schools are beginning earlier than they used to. Now if we had a good compulsory attendance law to reach those whose names may go on the criminal docket instead of the school register, it would help immense- ly. Then if Bible history and pre- cepts were taught instead of some of the cértain required per cent in some of the physiologies that have been used in our schools, our future legislators and Congressmen would discover better systems of law and more efficient modes of punishment than some we now have in operation.

Two reputable farmers re'ate three instances of the work of the So-called ‘‘healers” in this county during the past few months. They stated that one woman, who was in a delicate condition, was convabese- ing from typhoid fever, when the ‘healers” gathered and after going through their ceremonies, told her to arise and walk, that she was healed. She declared herself una- ble to do so, but was persuaded to get up, and she walked across the room, but on starting back to the bed felh in a faint with the re- sult that would naturally follow in such a case. She ultimately recov- ered, however, under care of the Physicians. Another woman suffer- ing with typhoid; was persuaded to go to a meeting of the ‘‘healers,” where she was ‘healed’ “and in the excitement declared herself healed. The next day she had a relapse and died of hemorrhage. The third justance was where a dead woman was to be raised from the dead ‘‘on the third day,” and preparations for the event were made, but the “healer” received an urgent mes- Sage from a sick relative and had to forego the resurrection exercises. These facts are vouched for by the men who told them. If indeed such things are true, it is marvel- can so far take leave of their senses as to participate in such stuff. Storm Damage in Catawba. Newton Enterprise. ; _A windstorm of cyclonic propor- tions passed through Cline’s town- ship about 12.30 p. m. Sunday. It was about half a mile wide and was especially severe in the neighborhood of St. John’s church. On Mr. F. J. Dellinger’s place the forest trees and orchards were laid-flat. Mr. Dellin- Daly loss in timber was fully $1,000, r. Lawrence Yount’s barn on the: Fate Yount mill place was blown down and two cows killed. A num- ber of farmers lost much valuable timber. $30 Net on a Small Patch of Cab- Lincolnton Times, Mr. O. F. Lackey, who lives just a few miles west of town, made quite a neat little sum this year on a small cabbage patch. On Ju- ly 28th he planted one-eighth of an acre, using about $8.50 worth of guano.

Work Seen THE ULT OF BURNS. DEATH Last Evening in Morganton. Mre, Sallie Tatum, of this coun- ty, who went to Morganton a week ago yesterday to spend the win ter with her daughter, Mrs. F. Scroggs; was fatally burned last Friday morning and died last eve- ning at 7°55. Mrs. Tatum was sitting in a room by a heater and her daughter left the room fora few minutes to look after domestic affairs. While she was absent Mre..Tatum got up and turned her back to the heater and her dress, coming in contact with the hot. stove, almost immediately burst into flames: Mr. and Mrs. Scroggs fortunately discovered Mrs. Tatum’s condition almost at once and Mr. Scroggs tried ta check tpe flames with his hands unti] Mrs. Scroggs got a blanket. Mre. Tatum was severely burned over the lower portion of hier body. The burns were not deep but on account of her advanced age and feeble health— Bhe was quite feeble from a stroke of parelysis sustained several months ago—the injury proved fatal. Both Mr. Scroggs’ hands were burcned—taree fingers on. the right haod being quite severely burned —but his injuries are not serious, it is hoped. The remains of Mrs. Tatum will be brought to Statesville today on Nw. 22, due at 1 20 p. m, and will be taken tomorrow to her cld home at Oliv, where the funeral and inter- ment will take place tomorrow.

(The scene in the court room when Mrs. Hortom collapsed was heart- rending. The young woman was weeping when abe entered the court room ami continued to sob after taking a seat beside her parents. Presently the defendant, her alleg- ed unfaithful husband, was brought im by an officer. His hat was cock- ed op one side of his head and he puffed wigorously at a cirgarette as he stalked across the court room in an indifferent manner and took a seat opposite his wife. He con- tinued to draw on his cigarette and wear his hat until the court asked him to remove it, and the questions of the court were answered, though rather pertly. But not a time did he glance toward his sobbing wife. Horton said that he was not ready for trial and wouldn't be till he could get witnesses. The court ask- e* what he expected to prove by the wittnesses and his answer was that he wanted to show how “ashe has treated me.’ These words seem- ed to pierce the heart of the sob- bing woman to the quick aud with eriee of anguish ebe collapsed and had to be carried from tne court room.

The North Carolina Christian Advocate of last week has this reference -to Mr. Mann, which will introduce him to Iredell folks: “Rev. Lee T. Mann. the new pre- siding elder of the Statesville dis- trict, is a native of Florida. Bis parents, however, were natives “of North Carolina, having removed to Florida soon after they were mar- ried. Brother Mann was educated t. Emory College, Ga., and joined the Western North Carolina Confer- ence at Winston in 1892. He has been regularly in the pastorate since that time with the exception of a short interval when, on .ac count of physical disability, he had to suspend work. He has ou circudts and stations and has had fine opportunity to develop the true itinerant spirit. He is a strong Preacher and weil furnished for the work of a presiding elder, both as "preacher and administrator. .

Norifclkk and Southern Purchaseg Vv Lines and Will Build From Raleigh to Charilotip. Rale';. News and Obesrvei, 18th Tre News and Observer states Htodzy upon authority that the Nor- folk & Southern Railway Company, aod interests allied with phat com- Pauy, haw purchased from Mr. John A. Mills and his assvciaice tne Raleigh and Southport railroad and all its properties. It has also Purchased from Mr. Lenning and a associates the railroad known as e Durham and Cheriotte road, Which is now and has-been for years in operation from Cumnock to Troy. The Norfolk & Southern will construct this roads from Raleigh to Concord, either under its own charter or under «the charter of the Raleigh, Charlotte and South ern railroad obtained from the last Legislature by leading citizens be- tween Raleigh and Charlotte and purchased some weeks ago by Mr. E. C. Duncan, acting fok himself and his associates, his ciates now turning out to be the Norfolk & Southern Railway Company. This announcement will be re- ceived with great pleasure, not only by everybody in Raleigh, but by all North Carolina. It means that this big railroad system, now running from Raleigh to Norfolk and con- trolling by lease the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad from Golds boro to Morehead City, has deter- Mined to penetrate Piedmont North Carolina and to tie the capital of the State with all the towns and flourishing country between Raleigh capital to Charlotte. It is not con- ¢ceivable that progressive Charlotte would fail to secure the completion of the road to that city when it gets @s near to it as Concord. Kk may bh that the terminus of the road will be Concord for some little while, but the road will go to Charlotte be- fore many moons wax and wane. The purchase also includes the Aberdeen and Asheboro—known as the Page road—as the following dispatch from Norfolk shiows: “Increasing its mileage 33 1-2 per cent. and giving it an inlet in- to a very large portion of the pied- Mont section of North Carolina, the Norfolk and Southern railroad or the interests behind this system tmve acquired the Raleigh & South- Port, the Darham & Chmriotte and ihe Aberdeen & Asheboro railroads nec their eubsidiaries.

The members of the family were away at the time and it is not known just what was taken. A man by the name of Da- vid Morris, who claims to be from {redell county, and who has been working about town for some time, left rather mysteriously last Tburs- day norning, walking over to Whit- ne! after 3 o’clock in the morning, where he caught the 7 a. m. train out. He told his boarding house keeper that he was going to Hud- son, where be had a job. Before going it is rumored that he offered ‘to sell a silk umbrella to several parties for 20 cents. After he was away the police of Lenoir got a “tip’’ that he was near Hickory and that he was offering, some stuff very cheap and had given away a veil and some ladies’ gloves. Policeman Walsh went to Hickory Wednesday and found him near there at the house of a party named Swance, where he had given the veil and the gloves to a woman. Walsh ar- rested him and recovered the gloves and veil and brought them with the prisoner back to Lenoir. The man tells of finding the umbrella and veil but he admits he took the gloves from the Episcopal church last week while in there where some workmen were doing some repairing. Morris was bound to court yester- day by Mayor Tuttle on the charge of the larceny of the gloves and when Mr. Henbel’s family returns some efforts will be made to have the articles found identified by them and learn if they were taken from the dwelling. { Morris’ reputation wilt not Welp him in his trouble -—The Landmark. ] Foreigners in Danger From the Chinese Revolution. Washington Dispatch. Affairs in China apparently have reached such a point:¢het neither the rebels nor imperialists are able to check the acts of Jawiess- nise. Advices to the State rt- ment say brigandage js on the in- crease im various parts of Europe. Businese and finances are report- ed to be im bad shape. From RearAdmjiral Murdock, com- mandant of “the American naval forces in China, come reports that Nanking iscut off from communica- tion with the outside world by rail- road and telegraph and that the natives are leaving in disorder. All the missionaries except three are reported to have left Nanking for Wuhu. There are no disorders in Chiefoo but many robberies are be- ing committed in the vicinity. Later advices from Nanking, where the decisive battle of the rev- olution is thought to be impending, are to the effect that all Americans are now outside of the walled town with the exception of six members of the Red Cross. The naval of- ficers report that it will be diffi- cult to protect foreign property in- side the walls because it is 60 widely scattered. The reviotuionary forces are still concentrating. They now hold all of the terriory ia the vicinity of Nanking.

Raleigh Dispatch. Concerning: the present cotton crop its magnitude and the conditions hereabouts, it is a fact most amply vouched for thet, umable to get the cotton picked out even on a basis of half of it for the picking, there are farmers in this county who are plowing under unpicked cotton to prepare thie way for sowing wheat or for other crops. The standard Price this season for cotton-pick- ers ig and has been all season 75 cents a handred pounds. However the lumber plants and other indus- tries are paying $2 a day, so that the increased price of 75 cents for a hundred pounds has failed to at- tract the number of pickers neces- sary for getting in all the crop. Conditions have been much worse in some sections than in others. For miles around Raleigh many far- mers hive been all season sending wagons into town each morning to haul out the negroes they could get to do their cotton picking. While the cotton crop hereabouts is un- doubtedly large, the difficulty expe Tienced in getting it picked now that it is open is very serious and is entailing still greater losses on the planters along with the slump in the market value. —Members of the congregation of the First Presbyterian church gave their pastor, Rev.

The Wilmington: Star has con- winced itself that Statesville is not a real prohibition town, as is claimed for it, and clinches its opin- jon with this observation: “If Statesville really, thinks it cannot be gotten there, Statesville is not well acquainted with herself.” The trouble with the Star and other newspapers published in communities where the prohibition law is openly violated, is that they cannot under- stand, nor appreciate the fact, that there are communities in which the Jaw is rigidly enforced. They nat- urally, judgé other communities by ir own. Statesville has this advantage in the prohibition mat- ter: The people in this town who did not believe in prohibition and @id not vote for it are, in the main, people who believe in law observ- ance and law enforcement. There- fore, when prohibition was adopted, was made a law, these people, in- stead of trying to discredit the law, to encourage its violation and sympathize with the violators said the prohibition law should be re- spected so long as it was law and that the majority of the people hav- ing voted for it the views of the ma- jority slwould prevail and the law Bhould be enforced. Thereupon the anti-prohibitionists gavethe law their support and were and are as zeaious, or more zealous, in some eases, for its enforcement than the wankest prohibitionist. They were not trying to make aménds for their opposition to prohibition, The views they enter- tained about it were honest. Thie majority deciding against them they, as all good citizens should, acquiesced in the will of the major- ity and gave their assistance in making the will of the majority law| in fact as well as in name. It was Bot a matter of policy with these Opponents of Matter of honesty, of justice and right and good citizenship. They May never get the credit for it, and they don’t care, for they were not playing to the grand stand, but @8 a matter of fact some of the Statesville people who did not sup- port prohibition are due the major Part of the credit for this town’s reputation as .a strict prohibi- tion town. It was the infitience of these men that prevented the sale of liquor im drug stores’ and they in other ways stood for a| strict enforcement of the law, op- posing many things which some | Prohibitionists thought it wise to @cacede at the time. These facts—for they are facts —are not stated to boast of them or to claim credit, but simply to inform the Star and others who live in communitites where the pro- ibit.on law hms failed, that it 4s nut a question of one’s opinion but a question of upholding the Jaw pend respecting legally consti- tuted authority. Lawlessness is lawlessness anywhere and at any time. The community that ignores the prohibition law and the people aad the newspapers that: wink at its violation, are as guilty of aiding and abetting -lawle:sness as if they enoouraged violations of the law against homicide, arson, burglary or larceny; and rest assured that if the criminal classes—and all men who wilfully violate law belong in thai class—are encouraged to vio- date one law they will violate an- other. There can be no discrtmina- tion in» such matters, It 1s duty, therefore, of alt newspapers and all good citizens, everywhere and at all times, to cry aloud for law enforcement, to give their aid @nd influence to the forces that Stand for law and order, no matter what their personal views about some of the lawe. The man who en- ©ourages the violation of a law fn which he does not believe is @ lawbreaker and an enoouragey of | lawlessness; for if he isn’t willing to «bey laws he does not think are right how can he demand that ®@thers obey laws in which he does believe? We can understand how the peo- Ple ‘n Wilmington, Charlotte, Rab @igh and other places where the prohibition law is ignored are doubting Thomases when they are told that it is ehforced elsewhere. Bat they should know, if they can ®ee bryond their environment, that there are people whio hold all law wiolation wrong and who etand agaiust lawlessness nd in all places, whether that law- Jessnces be the illegal*sale of Maq- a or murder or burglary AS a tter of fact the communities in which the prohibition law is disre- @arded should be ashamed of the fact; for the disregard ofthat law ais not passing on the question of prohibltion but it is settins, up a Getiance of Mw and order—creating @ etate of anarchy in Which good eitizenshép ip at a discount _,, Anti-Te tt headquarters have been.

Rabbit boxes, or traps, or gums, are also called rabbit hol- lows. Formerly, instead of making them of boards they were—in the days when saw mills were not 80 plentiful and sawed lumber was scarce—fashioned out of hollow logs and often out of a gum log. Hence the name rabbit gum. Bee gums were formerly made the same way. How’s that, major? s s °° Let's all go to Japan. This par- agraph found in the Biblical Recor \der explains: The Watchman says that a Japan- jese family consisting of father, mother and three children,can live in comfort and content on $3.50 a |week, gold, including the cost of ‘rent, food, clothes, and recreation, jand multitudes of families live in |health on less. The Japanese live isimply; their houses are fumished |with utmost simplicity; articles of jfood are few and simply cooked, |clothes for all the familly are sim- \ple and fashions never change Think of. a: family of five living in comfort on $3.50 a week; and above all think of living in a |}country where the fashions never change. Howevér, it may be just jas hard to get that $3.50 in Japan as it is to get $10 or $25 in this country, which would make some difference. | s s . | They have a medical depository a | Monroe—e Place where liquor is | kept under authority of law to fill prescriptions of physicians, thus | eliminating the drug store traffic— aud when the grand jury was look- ing over Union county institutions |the other day the members took a look into the affairs of the )depository.

"Possum huating is somewhat de- Moralizing to Charlotte citizens. The other day two dwellers im that city went ‘possum hunting in an @utomobi.e, leaving the “critter” Veside the road while they pur- Sued the marsupial in the forest. When tuey returned to the automo- bile i: the small hours of ‘ the early morning they found a scrap heap, the macbine having deen consumea by fire which originated in amannertothem unknown. Then two C'arlotte policemen tried their bande at ‘possum hunting.

Take truant schoolboys, they spent the day in the country and returned for duly next day. They were sus- pended for absence without leaye, whereae there was commetion in Char!otte Municipal circles, but @fter ‘uvestigation they were fined $10 cach, scolded and sent back to their jobs. It is not surprising that something happened to the men who went ‘possum hunting in an awo.

At our last term © of court * * * two days were spent in trying two cases where lese than $5 was involved. One was where @ hegro was accused of taking a few bundles of cate and another was an old white woman who was tried for taking a peck of peaches. As I said, two days taken up in trying these two insignificant cases that should tot come up at all, and doteng ef other cases of vital importance that should have been tried were laid over till the next term of court. These are facts, but everybody seems to be satisfied, or at least there was nothing said. It is a reflection on the intelligence of the people of the State of North Carolina to Say we need more judges. What we need is judges that will try to earn their salary instead of a set of men that act hike they sould be pensioned, or that they are entitled to some special privileges. The editorial referred to criti- cised judges for not putting in full time at the courts. In the cases mentioned possibly the judge was not so much to blame, but cases of that character should be disposed of in an inferior court. When they are on the Superior Court docket the judge has to try them—but he can shorten the time materially if he is so disposed—and they take up the time that should be given to more important. business. The letter is printed, however, as evi- dence that the people are alive to the manner in which the courts are conducted and that they see there is room for improvement. In its report of the recent Con- ference in ‘Statesville the North Carolina Christian Advocate says: The report of the committee on temperance pnovoked a sharp dis- cussion on account of a clause asking the members of the Confer- ence to withdraw patronage from pa- Pers carry.ng liquor advertisements. A substitute for this clause was adopted, requesting these papers to discontinue liquor advertisements when present contracts expire. A great deal of valuable advertising of some of the papers was inciden- tally given free of charge by the discussion. None of the papers were fur- nished a copy of the ongina) res- olution, but the understanding is that it obligated members of the Conference to boycott newspapers that carry liquor advertisements. In the discussion that followed the Charlotte Observer and the Ashe- pers that carry liquor ads., while the Greensboro News and the Ral- eigh News and Observer were hand- ed bon juets for omitting these ade. Some of the brethren, however, did uot propose to divorce them- body's behest, and so the report was amended. The last course was preferable.

He had his gun and dog alon i in the spare time hunting. the woods his dog treed up a hollow and Mr. Harrington procured a forked stick to twist in the hollow and find what occupied it. When he turned to go to the hollow after getting the stick, he saw a panther have his dog down and about to choke the life out of him. To save his dog Mr. Har- rington began using the stick on the panther, when suddenly something grasped the leg of his pants and look- ing behind he saw it was a bear.

THE LANDMARK TUESDAY, — — November 21, 1911. —————EEE Tobacco Trust Dissolution Stands —Independents Will Appeal. Washington Dispatch, 16th, Satisfied that the decree “enter- ed in the Circuit Court at New York, providing for the disintegra’ tion of the American Tobacco GCom- pany into 14 corporations. will ter- minate a monopoly and substitute actual competition, Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham wil} not appeal the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. He will accept the Circuit Court’s decision, §alb- though the government posie:ses the right to carry the plan of dissolu- tion to the highest tribunal at any time within a year. The govern- ment’s approval of the plan was made known by the Attorney Gen- eral in an official statement. The sizes of some of the corpora- tions into which the company will be separated constitutes no valid objection to the court’s decree, in the judgment of the Attorney Gen- éral. “The public at large wil! be more apt to benefit,’ he declar- ed, “from competition between a number of lurge, solvent, well-or- ganized companies in strong hands, than from the general demoraliza- tion of business Which would ensue were the business to be distributed between a lurge number of small weak organizations with insufficient capital to maintain themselves in active competition. “Some of the representatives of the so-called ‘independent retailers’ associations’ urged the distribu tion of the business among 70 cor- pérations instead of 14.\ The sugr gestion might as wel) have been 50 or 200. For the govemment to have supported any such contention would have undoubtedly resulted in a receivership and enormous and widespread injury to the general business conditions of the coun- try.” Felix H. Levy, one of the coun- sel in charge of the fight against the Circuit Court’s approval of the dissolution plan, said upon learning of the decision: “We are already taking steps to continue the fight. This does not end the matter by any means.” He declined to gay, however, what the next move..of the independents would be. —_—_—_— Industrial Increase in Som of the Larger Towns. Washington Dispatch to Charbotte Chronicle. Charlotte made a larger per cent. of increase in value of manu. factured productsand forthe nunt- ber of men employed from 1904 to 1909 than any other city of 10,000 population or over in the State. WhileWinston-Salem employs more men and shows a larger value of ler products, the per centage of in- crease for the Queen City is much larger than that shown in Winston. In 1904 the total value of manufac- tured products in Charlotte was $4,050,000 and in 1909 it had in- creased to $10,560,000, while the number of employes increased from 2,234 to 4,199. Winston's indus- tries lacrcased from $11,353,000 in 1904 to $16,776,000 in 1909, while the number of employes went from 4,850 to 6,718. Ashevilie, Greensboro, Raleigh and Wilmington also made substan- tial gains in manyfacturing. Greens- bono went from $1,744,000 to $2,- 032,000; Asheville from $1,904,- 000 to $3,250,000; Wilmington from $2,904,000 to $3,006,000 and Ral- eigh from $1,071,000 to $2,367,- 000. There were no comparattive fig- ures for Durham, as the town had not a population of 10,000 in 1904 Tne only figures obtainable are those for 1909 and these show the value of products to be $23,272,- 000 and the number of employes as 3,710. Officer Killed Alleged Murderer. A special to the Charlotte Observ- er says that in a pitched battle late Thursday, afternoon, on the outskirts of Brevard, Transylvania county, Deputy Sheriff Branch Pax- ton, of Transylvania, shot and in- stantly killed Leroy Elrod and ar rested his father, Thomas Elrod. The officer was painfully hurt and bruised by the attacks of the two men whom he was endeavoring to a rest. . Transylvania officers had been notified that the Dlrods were want- ed in Pickens gounty,.S8. C., for shooting a man. They were locat- ed and in closing in on them the deputy, ordered their hands up. While covered with the officer's gun and being searched for weapons the elder man knocked the pistol from the officer’s hand and a hand- to-hand conflict ensued, lasting sev- eral minutes There was a general exchange of shots between thie three but only one took effect, Leroy El- Tod Being shot through the breast. The old man was soon overpowered. The elder man is 62 years old and his son, who was killed, was 19. A ooroner’s jury exonerated the of- ficer from blame in the matter. qatetainomenemapaemtenememen: ——_—_—_—__ “Never Again!” Says Mr. Chicago Dispatch, 14th. - “Never again, never again!” gaic Wildam J.

Tyere is much lawlessness in Amecr.ca due to the failure of ju- dicial off'cers to Impose proper sen- tences, Law emforccment halts he~- cause judges fail in their duty. This is true in the case of a small gamb ler or retailer, a rich smuggler or a trust magnate who is bet off with small fines when he violates the law. In offenses’ like smuggling, gambling, liquor selling and. the like, a fine is usually Hoense to continue the lawlessness, the cost of the license depending upon how often the culprit is caught and how “easy” the judge is. If a paper criticises a judge, there.are many who are horrified at the criticism. These folks act as if they thought judges were not men and that some divinity hedged them about. They are nen of like passions as other meu. Most of them are fair, just and wise, but ‘there are too maay who lack these essential requisite for good judicial officers. The first deserve commendation, and, by the Sam> token, the others deserve con ‘emnation. . United States District Attorney Wise, outraged because New York judges turned smuggilers loose upon the paynvent of fines in many cases less than one-tenth of the amount of which they had defraudfd the government, gaid: “but, please God, as long as 1 am district attorney I will still figh> tor jail sentences against thus¢ who violate the law. I do not care whether he is rich and influential, or poor and unknown. There is less cxcuse for the former than for the latter. “But it has been difficult to send the rich to jail. The judges evidently think they should have pienty of warning, and in case af- ter case of this kind I have how'ed in vain for jail sentences “There was a certain gentleman convicted of smuggfing. This gen- Uleman was once Governor of a/ State. In his next campaign he | stumped that State bellowing for 4 protective tariff. That was the! issue upon which he based his fight.| Yet he tried to evade the duty on Su, $11,000 of goods he brought in He was caught in the attempt aud 1 did my best to have him sent to the -enitentiary. I urged that he be made an example of, but the judge let him off with fines and pena i:es.

Details of the killing of a man named Anderson at a lumber camp on Forney creek, in Swain county, by a youmg Italian, about ten days ago, have been received in Ashe- ville. The homicide was on ac- count of a lamp valved at 35 cents. The report is that Anderson went to the commissary to buy the amp; that he did not have an order for it, as the rules requiredut that the clérk finally agreed to let An- derson nave the lamp if he would ge’ the order later from the herd of the logging department, in which Anderson was employed. It is further stated that the head of the department delayed in giving the order from some cause, and the clerk went into the kitchen where Anderson was one night; they had some words and Anderson ran the clerk out, starting at him with a stick of stove wood. It. was later that the clerk came upon An- derson as he was carrying two buckets and, it is said, shot him in the chest, the shot proving fa- tal.

The charge that ours is a nation of disregard for ie is sustained ae the comparative figues pertaining to hom- icide given out at the meeting of the American Prison. at Omaha. According to statistics collected, for each 1,000,000 population there were 118 homicides in the United States last year; in Italy, where the Camorra rears its horrible head, the rate was but 15; in Canada it was 13, and in Great Britain 9. In London in 1910 only 19 killings occurred; in New York in the same year, the record was 119, while 202 persons in Chicago were charged with homicide. It is the swiftness and the sureness of punishment that holds down the murder total in London, because of the 19 persons accused 10 were con- victed, 6 committed suicide and four were acquitted. Of the 119 tried for murder in New York, only 45 were convicted and of the 202 charged with homicide, in Chicago, but two were executed.

New York Dispatch, 17th. Absolute c tion, so far as possible, of the activities of 150,- 900,000. English-speaking people throughout the world for five min- utes for silent prayer and con- templation is a suggestion which Senator Root, of New York, has made for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of peace among English-speaking peoples. The suggestion came out tonight in connection with the appointment, by Mayor Gaynor of a committtee of 100 prominent New York men to have charge of the celebration of 1e centennial here. The national plans are to commemorate the Peace anniversary by the erection of per- Manent memorials rather than throughthe celebration by pageants. Wor this reason it has been neces- sary to organize far in advance of the time of the celebration, which will extend from February, 17, 1915, until some time in the summéer,dur- ing which Great Britain, Canada and other parts of the Bnglish- speaking world will participate. The date suggested for the five minutes’ stoppage of activities of Englishepeaking people is Febru- ary 17, 1916, the date of the ratifi- cation by the American and British governments of the treaty signed at Ghent, Belgium.

Atlanta, Ga., Dispatch, 17th. The Rev: Benjamin Graham, re cently pastor of- St. James Methés dist church of this city, today filed Suit for absolute divorce from Mrs, Norah Harris Graham. He alleged “cruelty, neglect, fear of bodily barm to himself and children, un- warranted jealousy of his own children and all the women of his church, which often,” it is declar- ed, “culminated in wild tantrums of rage embarrassing to himself and his church.”’ In a statement issued soon after the filing of his divorce petition, Mr. Graham goes into details re: garding his marital troubles. He States that before their marriage hig’ wife was for 11 yea:s a school teacher at Covington, Cordele and Athens, Ga., and that this, he be- lieves, is the cause for her unusu- al feeling towards his children. “My wife is a child-hater,” he said, “and although I have not be- lieved in divorce, I now find that it is the only thing possible for the sake of my children.” Mr. Graham states that they have been married 29 months and in that time he hasbeen compelled to spend one-fourth of his entire time in attempting to calm his wife in her jealous rages and restoring peace in his household. His two children -—a boy of 11 -and a girl of 5—are by a former marriage. Mr. Graham stated tonight that he would probably adopt the stage as a career. He said: “In moral Plays which exert a tendency to Picture Yourself IN A SUITO Adler’s Collegian Clothes And you are dressed ac- cording to fashion’s latest edict _Go around to every store in town, try on any suit that pleases your eye, then drop into our store and let us show you this famous make of clothes, and you will see the differ- ence ina minute.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS When it was announced in the papers that the grandparents of Ross French, the Cherokee Indian electrocuted in the ’ State prison an Raleigh today, had asked the privilege of witnessing the elec trocution, The Landmark surmised that the old people wére actuated by a proper motive; that they did not, as Many seemed to think, de- wire to witness the death throes of their grandson simply as a mat- ter of curiosity, but their real pur- pose was to be with the unfortunate end comfort and console him in his dast hours. It*turns out that it was the grandfather and cousin of French, as related in the news col- wamns of The Landmark, who asked permission to appear at the peni- tentiary on the day of execution. They did not want to see their rel- ative die but they wanted to talk vith him before his death and then carry his remains back to the Cherokee reservation for interment. While ignorant and lowly, the purpose of the relatives of French were entirely proper, and the eibes of the unthinking, who made it ap- pear that they simply wanted to see their relative put to death, were entirely out of place. es s s Dr. Wiley,.the pure food man, imsists that “if more women were taught properly how to use the oookstove instead of the pi- ano, America would be better Ott... Mighty sound doctrine but unpopu- lar. The daughters. of the race, in the South at least, have been disposed to look upon cooking as the work of a menial; as work which the most ignorant can per- form; just as the idea used to pre- vail that anybody able to work could farm and that it was a waste of time and money to educate a farm- er beyond the three Rs. That idea bas passed and we are making some headway, though slowly, along the Mnes of domestic science, In some of the schools of higher education they are trying to teach the girls— those who will take the course— something of doméStic science; how to select, prepare and cook food and the nutritive value of different af- ticles of food; how to nurse and care for children; in short, some ef- fort is being made to teach _ girls how to perform intelligently and «competently the duties that de- volve on wives and mothers’ and homekeepers. We may not have @ cooking school in every township and require a certificate of gradua- tion as a prerequisite to marriage, which is Attorney General Bichkett’s hope. But by and by we may in- culcate the idea to some extent that domestic science is as much an ac- complishment and as much to be desired as music, art, etc. . s s Charity and Children thinks “the greatest task which our Pres- ®yterian brethren have committed Rhemselves to in recent years was the determination to raise $60.000 Zor the Barium Springs orpnansge, end while Mr. A.

Why, because you can buy the granulated for only a little bit more—40 cents per hundred pounds“~and you'd rather have it. Correct. But if you could buy it a great deal less and knew that it was just as good “sweetnin'” you'd buy it in these hard times; certain- ly you would. Now, when the ¢s- teemed Mr. Aldrich) fixed up the sugar tariff to suit the wishes of the trust, lie took care to, arrange a little joke on you, so that you couldm’t get the brown sugar cheap and would, be forced to,buy the granulated sugar that the trust makes. That’s what js known as a joker itn tariff-making—just a lit- te arrangement to benefit some big interest and nob the public. Every time you buy a pound of sugar you pay two cents of the price to the trust by reason of the tariff bil and the tariff on sugar and its lit- tle joker in behalf of the trust. Brown sugar is unrefined. Granulat- ed is refined. On? refined sugar the duty is now 1.90 cents a pound. If it is umrefined sugar and if it is above No. 16 Dutch standard in color the tax is the same. The ef- fect of this high tariff, applying both to the refined and the unre- fined above a certain color grade is to give the sugar trust control of the American market. The process of refining sugar is a very simple cne, consisting of removing the dried molasses from the outside of the sugar crystals. The more me- lasses the darker the sugar, but 60 far as purity and taste are concermn- ed the light brown is the equal of the refined. The purity of sugar is not determined by the color test Dr. Wiley years ago said that the color test was obsolete, unsciemtif- ic and antiquated. So it is, and the only use found for it nowadays is in constructing the joker that meang millions every year for the trust. Consumers have been educated to believe that a sugar is not Pure unless it is white. The dark brown grades below No. 16 don’t sell. By making those above No. 16 dutiable the same as refined su- gar, the imported stuff is praoti- cally forced to come in in a molas ses-stained condition. This must be whitened for the trade, and the Sugar trust are the folks who do the whitening. As Senator La Fol- lette put it in his speech ‘in the Senate: “The law which makes light brown sugars pay the same duty as if refined, and which makes the duty on the dark brown stuff lower as the degree of purity falls off, makes it impossible, as a mat- ter of business, for any grade of un- refined sugar to come in except that which must be sold to the trust. And the $1.95 per hundred on refined (the old nate) makes it still more -impossible to import that; and there you are—nicely gagged and bound, with your pock- ete gaping! No wonder sugar stocks have been good _ invest- ments.” Dr. Wiley. lately said that the greatest nations are the ones who treat their .women best, eat the Most sugar and use the most soap. in this country we select one of the most important articles—sugar —on which to raise the price two cents a pound by taxation, most of which is for the benefit of the trust. Are you one of these bright ideas who are not “interested in politics” because you can’t see that “‘jokers’”’ and high sugar are possible because | there are so many folks that don’t “‘talkee no interest in politics?” —— Cotton Ginned to November 14— | Largrst Orop on Record.

For the present this office will be headquarters for examiners of lands that will be purchased by the government for the purpose of earrying out the object of the national forest reservation commis- sion, but it is probable that an ad- min(strative office will soon be es- tablished here permanently. This section constitutes the ‘8th district of the reservations and the Mt. Mitchell area includes about 300,000 acres of land, 30,000 acres of which has been contracted for by the government. For these lands the goverument under the Weeks law is paying from $2.50 to $8 per acre, afterwards selling the timber down to a certain growth The government propos‘s to pur- chiase available lands throughout the Mt. Mitchell area but will not pay exorbitant prices. This area ex-~- tends from near the Swannanoa station and Old Fort to Spruce Pine by wry of Linville river on the east to the Dillingham section of Bun- combe county on the west. Mr. Adams, who will be in charge of the local office for some time, stated that the government wants to buy the lands first-hand from the owners. Beginming with last year there will be an appropriation for this purpose of two millon dol- lars each year for five years. Mr. Adams said that one of the attractive features of the work to be undertaken is the establish- iment of look-out stations for the purpose of checking forest fires. He stated that the organization and erection o, these stauons in a s@c- tion of Arkansas, where he spent some tinie, saved $57,000 in the way of forest fires. By a mechan- ical contrivance connected with the Stations, which will be erected on high mountains, it will be possible it is an affectation, and it is a nuisance, because it interrupts the speaker and annoys those who are} trying to hear him. Some _ people ter, therefore the direct, distant rays of light are properly focus- a while objects close at hand are not as distinct—requiring as it does too great an efforton the muscles to keep up this contin- ual strain.

North Wilkesboro Dispatch. It seems that all the blockaders in Wilkes county have not been Put out of business in spite of the effort of the revenue men to exterminate them. Saturday morning Mr. H. W. Hor ton and a surveyor from Boone went about 15 miles north of North Wilkesboro, at the foot of the Blue Ridge, to survey a tract of land for the former and af- ter completing the work return- ed to their buggies to find that the horse of the surveyor had been turned loose and his harness cut in pieces. Mr. Horton’s driver States that they started for his bug- gy, but on seeing the driver turn ed into the woods and disappeared Returning to town, the surveying Party met a couple of revenue of- |ficers going in the opposite direc tion on the lookout for some. block- aders who had been reported oper- ating in that vicinity.

My method of curing hams is as follows: Trim them neatly and make a brine strong enough to float a fresh egg. Put them in this and Tet them remain four or five days to draw all blood. Then take them out and boil and skim the - brine and when cold return them to the brine, adding enough fresh brine to cover them, and then add for each 100 pounds of ham a pint of black molasses and an oumce of saltpe- ter, and let the hams remain in the brine two or three weeks. Then take them out and hang and smoke well with hickory wood or corn cobs and smother the fire with green cedar brush. When well smoked, take them down and paint them all over’with a thick mixture of black molasses and black pepper. Wrap in stout brown paper and put in-a cotton sack and dip it in Kime wash and hang in a dark smokehouse, The hams will im- prove till a year old. I treat shoulders the Same way, and sides, except that the sides remain in brine half the time the hams do. Jowls treated tn this way are fine for boiling with tur- nip greens in the spring. Mother of Chinese Emperor Eloped With Actor. San Francisco Dispatch, 20th. Princess Lai, mother of the baby Fin, ¢€1or cf China and wife of the Prince Regent, has eloped with an actor, Yung Shu Lu, according to Chines newspapers. A number of \ewspapers published im China re- fer to the “‘disgnace that has come © the royal family,’ but only one, the Min Lu Po, the largest news- paper published in China,gives the Princess’ name and an account of the elopement. The mother of the Emperor, the paper says, fell in love with the actor and corresponded with him for some time before the rebellion began. The paper draws the con- Clusion that the Princess believed that the Manchu cause was lost and decided to flee. The Princess is said to have taken a fortune in jewels with her and to be living with Yung in Mukden. An actor and a barber are class- ed with the lowest castes in Cai- na and Chinese here said today chat the elopement of the Princess wag the greatest disgrace ait could come to the Manchu dynasty.

Hair is oertainly most necessary to woman. Who could love and matry a bald-headed woman? What charms could one array to offset sweh a disfigurement? A woman's goal is usually love ind marriage. Her crowning glory is her hair. The loss of her hair Mars her beauty, happiness and success. Yet, right here in States- ville, thene are thousands of wo- men who are neglecting or injuring their hair to such an extent that it is only a gpatter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their -hair through thoughtless- ness or ignorance of certan facts. They use curling-irons over-heated, or to excess, which destroys the matural oil of the hair, causing it to split, break and come out. They do not shampoo their hair of- ten. enough, or too often. They use soaps or preparations which contain ingredients positively harmful to the scallp and hair. As a result of such treatment, dandruff is created, the hair loos- ens, loses color, falls out, and bald- ness commences, unless proper and prompt precautions are taken in time. Then again, microbes and \certain diseases bring about un- healthy scalp and hair conditions. Almost any woman may rid her- self of dandruff and diseased scalp and hair if ghe will but use the right remedy. We have that reme- dy, and we will positively guarantee that it will either cure dandruff and baldmess, or it will not cost the user anything.

ION PRICE; FRIDAY, — — November 24, 1911. “DEAD, MY LORDS AND GENTLE- MEN!” In the early dawn of Wednesday. morning a great heart was 8t..led nd a great soul was released from a pain-racked tenement when Jo- seph P. Caldwell breathed lis last Bravely he had met his affliction, #£uitered uncomplainingly, and una- fraid he had faced ‘death as the Lperator of him whom freedom cap mot release, the Physician of him waom medicine cannot curend ue Comforter of him whom time can- not console.” To him the Last Mes senger must have brought swee release, ' The passing of this man is the going from us of a great man, a grand man, a noble man, in the best sense of these much-abused words. He was one of the great—in maay ways one of the greatest——-North Carolinians of his time. It is not extravagant to say he was a prince among men. Large of stature, 0 commanding presence, a counte- nance and personality that would at- tract attention in any gathering, he way truly a big man-——big-hearted, bigshbrained, whole-souled. It is trite to say that he was the first newspaper man of his time in the State. He was all that and more. As an editor he had no superior in the South and rank- ed with the first in the country. He knew newspaper work in all its details. Beginning as a boy in a country printing office, he kmew the mechanical end of a paper as well as any other department and it was his cqustom to give as much supervision as possible to all de- partments. With a capacity fo work seldom equalled and a devo- tion unsurpassed to the profession he honored and adomed, he had a enius for newspaper-making that was alike the envy and despair of others. He knew what was news, how to get it and print it, and he was at home in any department of the paper. Possessed of a sub- tle sense of humor, that bubbled naturally, a keen sense of the ridic ulous, he saw the amusing side al- ways; with an originality of ex- Pression that was always bright and’ entertaining, he could say much in few words and give a dépth of mean- ing that impressed as well as en- tertained. As he once said of a dead contemporary, he ‘could write in a sentence an editorial that cut @uarper than a two-edged sword, or he could spread himself over a Page and hammer the Hfe out of the best opponent that ever stood up before him.” He did not seek controversy; he avoided it. Jovial good-natured, generous, kind-heart- ed, he radiated sunshine. Being a man of strong conviction and the courage always to speak his convic- tions if he deemed the speaking necessary and proper, he was not al- Ways onthe popular side of public questions; indeed he was more of- ten on the unpopular side; but with @ courage that never quailed, for he feared not the face of man, he spoke the truth as he saw it and recked not the consequence. He did not play for popularity, although. he was the most popular editor of his day. He had the true courage that is cool and calm, that is in danger most serene and free; affa- bility, i ldness, tenderness, good- nature,that are the bread of man- kind and the staff of life. He fair’ and courteous as well as troad-minded and generous; he war Jo. Caldwell to thousands newspaper readers who did no’ know him personally but who Joved and admired him because they Saw the true man in what he wrote ~—the great ability, the strong com mon ‘sense, the genius that was all! his own and the lovable nature of the man which drew men to bim, and the familiar use of his name was a term of affection. way of hie He was not only, it seemed, a “born newspaper man,’’ for the work seemed to come to him natur- ally,but he was wedded to his work Political preferment and the honor and emoluments of office did not appeal to him. These could have een his, they were offered him, but, be put them aside. In all of the g@reat work in his chosen profession Ais greatest achievement, in this writer’s opinion, was when he brought freedom tothe newapa per of North Carolina—-gave them °* es liberty they had never known by which they have since enjoyed Up to the Jast decade practically all newepapers of cons°quence in North Carolina were party organs They Were the party pack-horses aad Wore the party yoke because it nev- @r oceurred to them that they had the right to-do otherwise. A Dem- _ Oral and a believer in the policies of tis party, when, in 1896, the warty nominated a candidate and romulgated policies of which Mr ‘aldwell did not approve, he filec dissent and went along because ve felt it his duty to adhere, for he time at least, to the bong-time »olcy of party regularity. But when in 1900,the party named again the ame candidate with practically the same policies in its platform, — his strong nature rebelled and he step ped outside ranks: His action, was startling; it was without precedent among us and the storm of erité- clam, of abuse, that followed was olent and incessant." But he quailed not before the storm. A weaker man would have faltered nd failed. But in the words of eneca’s pilot -hé could have said, ,Oh, Neptune, you may sink me if fou will; you may save me if . you will; but whatever happens I will eep my rudder true.” “ And he kept his rudder.true and won. He demonstrated that a bewspaper sould be independent in- North Car- olina and he gave freedom to the press, Since then, following his lead, few strictly party organs re- main and newspaper men have learr~ ied thiat the true newspaper is that which prints the news and tells the truth on friend and foe; that s fair and just to all interests, all creeds and professions. With all the honors and all the copularity that came to him, Mr. ‘a.dwell was ever the modest, kind- ly man He did not court applause hough often applauded.

Bulletin ‘State Board of Health. With the advent of our first cold weather in the fall a great many fall early victims to ‘‘colds.” Others will probably sopn follow suit. Dur- ing the winter months it is one of the most common of accidents. It t-erefore becomes a subject of great interest and importance. The real importance and significance of colds are not as generally recog- nized as they should be. An or- dinary cold, when promptly taken in hand, is usually cured in from two to six days, but not infrequent- ly a “bad” cold (for there are no 800d colds) leaves behind it rebics, Uhe ‘recovery from which may re- quire months or evén years. Some- times a fatal dieases finds its begin- ning in a neghected cold, Pneumon- ta, pleurisy, bronchitis and conswmp tion itself,frequently follow in the ake of a cold. But the average reader is inter- ested in just two things concerning colds: First, how to avoid them, and, second, how to cure them Concerning the first, we may -pro- tect ourselves by four lines of de fense, as follows: First—Colds are probably ‘‘catéh- tu,,”” particularly from others, and tt ig therefore best to evold inti- Mate association, such as the use of the same drinking cup and towel with people who have colds. Like- wise avoid people who have recent- ly had pneumonia, crowds ard over- heated or badly ventilated places. Second—Colds may be “caught” from ourselves, that is, we may re- infect ourselves; so that a second line of defense is to keep ovr own mouth, nose throat and tonsils clean and avoid gorging with food or drink, particularly alcoholic drinks. Third—While a possible germ is ome factor, getting our body or any part of our body overheated or thoroughly chilled js another. sistance, This may be done by work- careful and regular bathing, mod- every practical safeguard about ourselves, it still sometimes happens instance, if we get our feet wet, we should take a hot mustard foot- bath at the earliest moment.

J. L. Burgess, N. C., Dept. Agri- culture. There has recently come into the farm economy of the State a very important new legume called the “soy; bean,’ an importation ~ from Japan, it seems. This’ plant is va- riously known as the soy bean or stock pea, and has its greatest de- veltpment, with us, in the eastern part of the State. This is not only one of our best forage crops both for cattle and hogs, but is, at the same time, per- haps, our beet green manuring crop. It carries a very high per cent. of: nitrogen, as well asa large amount of other material plant toods and put into the soil aun abundance of organic matter which quickly becomes active humus for the use of growing crops. The soy bean can generally be grown to good advantage on land too poor to grow a good crop of cow peas. As stated above, the soy bean is one of our very best green ma- nuring erops on accountt of its high fertility vame. A ton of soy bean hay, according ty some expert analysis, contains 46 lbs. of nitro- gen, 13 lbs. of phosphate and 21 lbs. of potash. It is an easy mat- ter to grow 2 tone of soy bean hay to the acre on Jand of average fertility. At this rate, ahould the crop be disced and plowed under, there would be added to the acre 98 lbs. of nitrogen, 26 Ibs. of phosphate and 42 lbe. of potash; or, on a field of ten acres there would be rendered available 980 Ibe. of nitrogen, most of which would come directly from the air; 260 lbs. of phosphate and 420 lbs. of potash, both of which would be rendered available fram the solution of these materials from the surrounding soil particles. In addition ot these amounts of plant food, this crop would put into the ground an enormous amount of organic matter which would, of it- self, liberate still more of tle inert THE VALUE OF SOY BBAXs.| ~ There is no wro with an with this safety fountain pen.¢ Just stick it into your pocket any way it happens to go. .

Se Interfered With Officer and Was Killed. Charlotte Observer, 21st. As a result of a pistol wound in- flicted by the chief of police of Bes semer City,Harl E. Lockman,of that town, died last night about 6 o’clock at the Charlotte sanatorium. He had been brought here a few hours af- fer: the shooting in an effort to Save his life, but the attempt was fruitless. The bullet entered his abdomen, making a fatal wound. His wife accompanied him. There are no children. Lockman was boss of the weave room in‘the former Bessemre City cotton milt at that place and was also engaged in the livery business with a brother as a partner. According to information received here, the tragedy resulted from Lockman’s attempt to interfere with Chief of Police C. 8. Hager in the discharge of his duty. Hager had a warrant for the arrest of John Whitaker, a young man of the town, on some minor charge, and was taking himin custody. Mr. Lockman interposed and some conversation followed. -Lockman, it is gaid, drew a knife and the polcieman a pistol and they engaged in a lively encounter. Lockman knocked the pistol out of Hager’s hand and cut bim a number of times in the back and across the arm. In the scuffle Hager managed to get his hands on his pistol again and used it with deadly effect.

Wi- ley, chief of the bureau of chemis- try, in an address at Crawfordsville, N. J., a few days ago. “We must give the State power to stamp out tuberculosis and authority to segregate every infec- tious and contagious disease,” said Dr. Wiley. “Every man, woman ané child who dies of a preventable disease is either a suicide or a victim of murder. Thorough State supervision and regulation is the only solution of the problem.” Dr. Wiley called attention to the fact that the Department of Agri- culture spends thousands .of dollars to stamp out disease in hogs and cattle but that a woman whose child is afflicted with tuberculosis could get no aid from the government. It was here that he made his sug- gestion as to the segregation of to- berculous patients, saying “they should be kept there until they were either cured or dead.” “Every person here tonight wilt die before he ought to unless there is more concerted efforts for the conservation of public health,” con- tinued Dr. Wiley. “If more womer were taught properly how to use the cookstove, instead of the piano, America would be better off.” SS NR Not Joint Snakes But Lizard. John Burroughs, probably our greatest naturalist, says. there is nothing in the prevailing notion that a joint-snake, in being struck, will go to pieces; and then, when its enemy is gone, the snake will collect the pieces and go about its business all in one piece. Mr. Bur- roughs says of the joint-snake sep- aration: “There is a small. basis of fact in the superstition of the glass snake. The creature is no snake at all, but a species of lizard quite common in the West. And it has the curious power of voluntarily breaking itself into regular pieces when disturbed but it is only the tail which is so broken up; the body memains intact. The tail is dispro- portionately long, and is seyered et certain points, evidenily to mislead its enemies. It is the old tock of throwing a tub to a whale, lhe cveature sacrifices its tail to secure the safety of its body. These fragments have nO power to unite themselves again, but a new tail ‘48 grown in place of the part lost.” eee Sama Chamberlain’s Stomach and.

Comméesioner of Internal Revenu: Royal E. Cabell has put a crimp in the aspirations of the genius who. wants to have his invention ot solidified whiskies, beers and wines pase the bureau inspectors without the customary énternal revenue tax. Mr. Cabell, after carefully test- ing-——laboratorially and chemi- cally only—the tabloid product of the young Westerner, decided that whiskey is whiskey, whether it is in a bottle, a jug on the mountain- side or in a glycerine-coated tablet. Therefore, he ruled, the solidi- fied product must carry the tax imposed on regular liquors. “It {@ impossible to perfect a really solidified form of alcohol,’’Mr Cabell said. ‘“‘There is a certain amount of alcohol in glycerin. The Westerner’s tabloid form of whiskey was nothing more than a ‘|quantity of alcohol mixed with gly- cerin. “I suppose that if a person con- umes a large number of the ‘whis- key tablets’ which we tested he could become intoxicated, but I shudder to think what kind of ef- fect the glycerin and gelatine would have op him.” “Ain’t It So?” Greensboro News.

ABUSE OF CHRISTMAS GIVING, Our Method of (tviebrating the ob ‘Beason Makes it. a Time to Be Dréiiied Rather Than ea Joy. Baltimore Sun. ‘ There must be something wrong about our observance of Christmas when a devoted wife and mother looks forward with dread to its approach. But the letter of “M. T.” im the Sun of Sunday comes right from the heart. She is not alone in the feeling that the se lecting, buying or making of num- herless presents has become a bur- den. “Many a frail woman has sacrificed heree]f to -his Moloch of Christmas giving umtil she is a )hysteal wreck,’’ she writes. And this is no exaggeration, It is a beautiful custom, this of remembering our friends and loved vnes at Christmas, growing out of the generous spirit the season in- spires—a custom that has been maintained from generation to generation, and that we would not willingly let die. But that it has been sadiy abused is not to be de- nied. Americans have a tendency to overdo everything, In the mad rivalry for display, the determina- tion not to let our neighbors get ahead of us, Ohristmas giving has not escaped. The idea that we must give to every one who gives to us a present of equal or greater vg ue, that we are under obligations to vive to anybody and everybody from whom we expect anything or who expects anything from wus leads to a reckless extravagance that io indefensible. Certainly no family should go beyond its means m buying gifts. Christmas giving, like charity, should begin at home. This is par- tlcularly the children’s season, and Uhey are first to be considered. No false economy should deprive them of the happiness we can give them at inconsiderable expense. They look forward to Ohristmas as the brightest spot in the year, and to cloud their holiday would be as great a mistake in one direction as wearing out the whole household and going into debt in extravagant Farmers Buying U ery. Washington Dispatch. More up-to-date and modern ma- chinery has been purchased by farm- ers during the past year than dur- ing any previous year, according to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson who based this assertion upon re- ports made to him by departmental field men. “This demonstrates,” he added, “not only the prosperity of the farmer, but also his alertness to seize upon every means to increase the yield an acre and to preserve the soil. The department has been urging the use of the latest tools and machinery. “The most striking feature of our reports is that they show the sales to Southern farmers have been enormous,greater than in any other section of the country. In Lou- isiana, for instance, there has been little less than a revolution in the purchase and use of improved im- plements and farm machinery dar- ing the past three years. Similar ‘eports come from most of the Southern States.” RN “T am pleased to reccmmend, opie. lain’s Cough Remedy as the thing I know of and safest remedy for Uses colds and bronchial trouble,’’ writes Mrs L.

Correspondence of The Landmark. In the court house at 10 o’clock Saturday morning the Iredell Live Stock Association expects to take up and fully, discuss the possibility of an agricultural fair for the coun- ty in the fall of 1912. We hope there will be a large attendance, for the interest created by a coun- ‘ty, fair has a great deal to do with thé general progress of the coun- ty. Up to the present time Iredell has not only kept pace with but bas led most of the other coun- ties of the State in all progressive measures that are for the better- ment of her people. Now let’s not fall behind in this matter. Most of the best counties of the State are now holding annual fairs at which the producers of these counties have a chance to exhibit their products ip competition with their neighbors. This not only creates rivalry and interest in the production of agricultural and Nve stock products but it serves as a good advertisement for the coun- ty to the visitor. To me the greatest benefit to be derived from a fair is the interest it causes the agricultural class to take in the promotion’ of their work. This alone is well worth extra time and expesne, but where they have been properly: car- ried on they have returned. good di- vidends to the stockhelders. Now no one man or party of men, can successfully run a fair. It must have the hearty co-opera- tion of the county at large, so we hope to see a good attendance at Saturday’s meeting at which Mr. BE. 8/ Millsaps will speak on “Some of the advantages to be derived from ‘a county. fair.”’ : SECRETARY. Dea‘h cf Mr. A. L. Shurpe. Correspondence of The Landmark. Troutman, Nov. 21—-Mr. A Sharpe, a prominent citizen of Barium Springs, died at Barium Lodge, his home, this morning at 2 o'clock. His illness had been very protracted. He had withstood several operations and taken treat- ment in two hospitals, but to no avail. For about ten years Mr. Sharpe had held the position of practical mechanic at the Presbyterian orphanage and had had full charge of the construction department. He was also superintendent of the in dustrial building. The result of his skill, hie labor and his genius is evident on every hand. Moreover, the moral training and good sound healthy business principles instilled into the hearts and minds of the half a hundred boys under him will ultimately end in ripe fruition and stand as a perpetual monument to his hon- ored name. Mr. Sharpe was a Methodist, a wholesouled, enthusiastic Meth- odist—a man of many parts and much given to his religion. Qui- et and peaceable in walk and way, progressive in spirit, kindly sym- Pathetic but discerning; a safe counsellor in trying time and a Man for an emergency. That was Mr. Sharpe and much more. He is survived by a wife, tw sons and one daughter. Intermen will take place tomorrow near the childhood home of the deceased at Hiddenite and the services will be in charge of the fraternal order to which he belonged. —_—....

One of the first mat- ters taken up by the Live Stock Association at the time of its or- ganization several months ago was @ county fair, and Saturday's meet- ing of the association was given o a discussion of the proposed movement for the organization of a‘ fair association. At the close of the meeting of the association Mn. F. T. Meacham called the mass meeting to order and explained the Live Stock Association’s atti- tude in the matter, declaring that it was determined that Iredell have a good fair. Mr. H. P. Grier was immediate- ly elected chairman of the meet- ing and Messrs. Johm A. Arey and J. Paul Leonard were named as secretaries. Mr Grier explained that the object of the meeting was to put in motion forces which would result ig the organization of @ fair aspociation and declared the meeting open for a general discus sion of the proposed movement. Messis. L. B. Bristol] and H. R. Cowles ade brief talks in advo- cacy of the fair, Mr. Cowles stat- ing that he had figured on the project and believed a capital of $12,000 to $15,000 would be all that is necessary for the association to begin with, though a larger amount could be used to greater advantage, and a smaller one might stive the purpose. Mr. Meacham Stated that he realized that con- certed action must be taken and made a motion that the chair ap- point a committee td formulate some plan o” procedure. Mr. Grier ap Pointed Messrs. W. C. Wooten, F. T. Meacham. W. L, Gilbert and H R. Cow'es on the commitiee, and they retired for consukation. While the committee was out Mr. B. 8. Millsaps, who has attend- eda fair almost every week the past summer and fall in his capaci- ty as district agent in the farin- ere’ co-operative demonstration work, was called to the floor and spoke interestingly of is observations and pointed out many reasons why Iredell should have a fain It was Shown teat Iredell is up to the minute in about every other pro- gressive movement and i is nec- eseaty to have a fair to keep pace with our sister counties. Qur cli- mate, soil and uaturai resources are unexcelled, we are builidng good roads and dredging our creeks on a large scale; our farmers have adopted modern methods of agricultune and are rapidly realiz- log tie value of hetter stock, the @apital of the county, Statesville, is wide awake and making fine progress in all lines, and the time is truly ripe for the organization of a fair association. The fairs in various counties were discussed geparately. and it was shown thiat in every county where a good ag- ficulturel fair is8 conducted the county has made advances in agri- eniture. If a man hes anything with merit in it he wants other people to know it; if he hms a pig, cow, horse, poultry. corn. or any- - thing of which he is proud, he will gladly put it on exhibition, and when the rivalry for premiums begins better farming, better stock and better everything is the re sult. Larger crowds are attending the fairs each year and practically all of them are successes in every way, many of the associations pay- ing handsome dividends to the stuckbolders. During the past sea- Son a number of counties held their first fairs, which were very suc- cessful, among this number being the Randolph county flair at Ashe- boro and the Stanly fair at Albe- marle; and several of the coun- ties which have had only two or three fairs show excellent improve- ment this year. Mr. Millsaps con- vinced -his hearers that there was no lack of good argument in favor of the fair, and when the commit- tee which had been in session came in with ite report they were ready for action: The committee recommended the election by the meeting of a num- ber Of solicitors in each township of the county to solicit subscrip- tions for a fair corporation as pro- vidded in the following: “We, the -undersigned, hereby Severally subscribe for and agree to take, at its par value of $25 per share, the number of shares of capital stock of a corporation § to be tormed for the purpose 6f organ- izing and maintaining a fair for Iredeil county. The name 0of waid corporation is to be selected hereafter and its powers are to be such as are hereafter set forth in its charter, ita general purpose being to promote agriculture, manu- factur'ng and live stock industries of the county. The stock so sub scribed by us is to be paid in to the proper officer of said corpora- tion. when organized and in install- tments of 20 pen cent. upon organt- zation and 10 per cent. per month at the call of said corporaiton.” After some discussion the rec- ommendations of the committee were approved and the following named solicitor® were elected: ShiJoh towngbip, E. A. Morrison, W. F. Pressly, E. D Brady; Fabls- town, A. P. Clark, Oscar Brown, W. D. Troutman; Concord, Jo. Shuford, Thos. Hunter, L. C. Stevenson; Sharpesburg, James M. Sharpe, R. R. Hil], H. §.

Alley, A. 8. Me- Kay. On motion of Dr. R. A. Campbell Mr. W. L. Gilbert was elected per- Manent secretary to secure the Plans adopted by the meeting and Mr, Gilbert will immediately dis- tribute among the solicitors the subscription blanks and place in their hands such explanatory in- formation as may be needed. The solicitors are requested to turn in their Hsts by January 20, and Mr. Grier, who was made permanent chairman of the movement, will call thie stockholders together about the first of February for organization. Quite a number of those in at- tendance at the meeting express- ed their willingness to subscribe liberally to the project and if the solicitors will go to work at once and arouse the proper interest there is Little doubt that a suffi- cient amount will be subscribed. Business will Be Suspend- cd Thanksgiving Day. A general suspension of busi- ness in Statesville is planned Thursday in o noe of Thanks- givin . The ks,court house, vari ness houses, manufac- turing ‘plants, etc., will close and the schools will be guspendied. The graded schooi will suspend both Thursday and Friday in honor of the occasion and the college will suspend for the one day. Sunday hours will be observed at the post- office and the carriers will make no rounds. There will be special services at practically all of the churches and collections taken for the orphans. Let all those who do not attend send their contributions. Many have planned their usual hunt for the day. The lawful bird hunting season doesn’t open in Iredell umti] Friday, but this is by fo means assurance of safety for the birds Thursday. They may be Uhankful if the rabbit hunters and dogs do not encounter them, for many there are who will shoot re- gardless of the law. State Convict Comes Back. Last summer Claude Vines, col- ored, a member of the State con- vict force at work on the States- ville Air Line railroad, finished his terin and was discharged. The Landmerk told the story at the time, ard it will be remembered that Vines was like a fish out of water after he was discharged. He wes from the eastern part of the State and had no acquaintances here except the convicts. When given his freedom he came to town, looked about a spell and then went back to the railroad camp and ask- ed to be given work. One of the long-term convicts had some money and he voluntarily gave Vimes $5 and told him to go home. Tia. was the last heard of Vines until last week when informa- tion was received at the railroad camp ‘rom tne sheriff of Pitt coun- ty that he had just landed Vines in the State prison, to serve a term of ten years for highway for ed with his service as State con- ea anyway he is back on the job.

Sutton, a visitor in towr, was arraigned before Jus- tice King yesterday, afternoon for over-riding a horse belonging to Mr. S. J. Holtand, the Hveryman. The case was couypromised by Mr. Sulton paying Mr. Holland $15 for damages to the horse and also paying the costs in the case,a to- tal of about $25. Mr. Sutton se- curec the horse from Mr. Holand’s stable between 11 and 12 o’olock Sunday, and rode it about town and through the country for two hours at suc’ a speed asp to heat the an- imal ccneiderably, and damage it physically to such extent that it came under the law against cru- ely to dumb animals. Wheu Mr. Holland learned of the horse’s condition Sunday after- nooa h¢ approached Mr. Sutton about t*e matter and struck him several blows. For this offence Mr. Holland was fined $5 and costs yesterduy by Mayor Caldwell. Alleging that Mr. W. R. Mille had threatened hia life, Mr. C. 8. Holland had Mr. Mills arraigned b: fore Justice Turner Friday on a peace warrant. Mir. Holland testi- fied that Mr Mills had threatened co kill him tefore night. M- Mills admitted that he had said in ef- fect that he waonld shoot Mr. Hol- land if the latter went on his land but that the threats were made in anger and he had no ‘dea of put- ting them into execution. There was other testimony on both sides, but the above is the substance of the matter. At the conclusion of the hearing Justice Turner required Mr. Mills to give a bond of $500 to keep the peace and pay the costs. Notice of appeal was taken. The trouble between Messrs Mille and Holland grew out of a land deat. Mr. Holland had been figuring with Mr. Mille for the purchase of 76% acres of itand, a part of the Davis place, near town. Mr. Mills says Mr. Holland didn’t come to time at the hour agreed on to close the deal and he there upon authorized Mr. R. V. Brawley to closeadeal with another narty, Mr. Brawley sold the land to Mr. G. D. Mosteller, of Catawba coun- ty, for $5,000. : Mr. Holland claims that he bought the land from Mr Mills, that oe eo posses- on.

LOCAL OOURTS. The Trip Hammer Silenced. Judge Oliver H. Allen has for- warded to the clerk of the Superior Cour* of Guilford county an order in the case of Moorefield vs. the Standard Boiler & Machine Co., of Greeusbero, making permanent the injunction against the company, which prevents it from using its trip hammer. The plaintiff is re- quired to give a bond in the sum of $2,000 to inzure the paymen* to the defendant of any, damages .nat may result from the injunction. The injunction proceedings {s ancillary to an action brought by Moorefield against the corporation for $3,000 damages to his residence “property, which damage he claims on account of the trip hammer. Before Judge Allen there were affidavits to the effect that the hammer was a nui- gance, annoying, aggravating, har- rowing, while others swore that it did not bother them.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS We crave permission of Judge Clark, of the Statesville Landmark, to interject the remark that we are now living in the glad era of “hog-killing time.”—Charlotte News Correct you are; and hereafter @on’t you disgrace your country raisin’ by pretending you thought October was hog-billing time in J s s Among the many tributes paid 3. P. Caldwell was the following from Henry Watterson, the noted editor of the Louisville Oouwrter- Journal: “J am truly distressed. Mr. Cald- at wae long been my very good friend. I hold him among the ablest @f the professional colleagues who ave fallen away from me; they weem to fall about me thick as au- tumn leaves that strew the brooks of Va)bambrosa.” s s * Our advice to the Southern States that may be wanting good roads, is to go on and build the woads by their own efforts and not ‘wait on the government to put up the money. Once good roads build- ing gets tangled up in_ politics, there is going to be trouble and mot much road-building to talk about.— Charlotte Chronicle, That's the oorrect advice. There fg too much diepositign to seek gov- emment aid. The people who are @overned best are governed least is a trite saying but it is still true Wf the disposition to call on the govern ment—mmnnicipal, county, Wate and national, continues to Brow, after awhile we will expect the government to feed and clothe us. s s s Chief Justice Walter Clark is of the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt will be the Republican nominee for President apd be is thus quoted by the Raleigh News and Observer: “Roosevelt fiercely barks at the trusts but never bites them, just like some men we have down here. In their turn the trusts and spe- cial interesis—l believe they cal’ themselves ‘Big Busjness’—berate them, put privately furnish rubetan- tial aid toward the election of wuch men. They. en joy playing this game immensely. By that means they have been humbug- ging the American people for - Meany years. When a man becomes too well known as subservient to them, he is a squeezed lemon and @hey unhesitatingly throw him aside.” The judge is correct about Roose- velt. He talks mightily against The Interests on occasion but he has never done them any harm and does not expect to. Not all the people who cry Lord! Lord! will @nter icto the Kingdom, and br no means all the folks who talk agaiust The Interests are really in earn- es. about it. s * s A correspondent of our morning contemporary i¢ evidently under the on, it says, that advance motices of theatrical perfonmances @re written in the néwspaper of- fices. This seems incredible, from the newspaper point of view; and it cannot be that any considerable @amber of people labor under this delusion. It de customary with @ewspapers generally to give the theatrical press agent almost a free hand, in describing what he hes to offe?, and this is provided for in the contract for display ad- vertising, theatrical adver: ising usu- ally being at a comparatively high wate; apd the assumption {s that everyone knowe the press agent’s work for what it is. It ought, ‘though, perhaps, to be labeled. —Asheville Gazette-News. But by far the grea‘er part of the population “labor under thie de- Avsion”’; and why shouldn't they? The notices appear in the paper as orginal matter: no Marks to show they were written by an_outsider or that they are ads. The general @ublic doesn't know, has no means of kmowing, they are not the ex- Pression of the newspaper and in @pod faith: Thus the public is de- ceived by flattering notices, into pa- tronizing all sorts of shows and they blame the newspapers; and the newspapers deserve the blame. ‘They have no business printing | Mattering Press notices, as original @atter. They should be marked eds. or it should be Plainly stated whence they come. Driving Turkeys From tHe Moun- tain Counties, Wilkesboro Patriot. A drove of turkeys, umbderin about 700, which was eatieeca co by A. P. little & Son, of Crump- ler, Ashe county, and which was @emt to J. EK. Vannoy & Co., of North Wilkesboro, arrived at the part of its destination Mon- Gay. The turkeys ware dressed here and shivped to New York elty for the Than kegiving trade. The @rice of turkeys here ig only 12 cents per pound, gross, which is @fuch less than the price of one and two years ago. This drove of turkeys was driv- @n a distance of 40 miles and was @a the road four days. Turkeys are conistent followers of Ben jamin Wranklin’s teaching—‘Karty to bed and early, to rise’’—and are réady for the start at the dawn’s early light. As Go00n as the evening ades appear, however, and roost. « tee come, they - simply fap thetr wings and perch upon the Wmoet convenient fence or tree and were they stay until morning Ju reading Mr. A. B. Gillesp'‘e’s article in Thie Landmark of révent date I notice that he handles the truth very carelessly. It is fortu- nate for me amd the readers of The Landmark and unfortunate for h'm that ne gave the name of hie tra- ditional author for what he has to say, towit, Thos. O. Godsey. J knew Mr. Godsey. when I was ten years of age (I am now past 76), long before Mr. Gillespie was born aud before bis father and mother were married. I kmow and remem- ber his character very well. He was a confirmed drunkard and was never kpown to be sober when he had the wherewith to get drunk. His character was bad in every respect end could not be depended upon in any. respect. I can only say one good thing about him: he was a perfect boot and shoemaker; he made the first pair of boots that I ever had about the time I was ten years of age. I shall only follow Mr. Gillespie in his Misstatement and no fur ther. He says that Morgan and Green came to the Catawba at Beattie’s ford and that at that time Lord Cornwallis was 20 miles below there, on the river. There is no evidence, traditional or writ- ten, that either Morgan or Green were at Beattie’s fori They were further up the river at this time. I am happy to have in my posses- sion Wheeler's History of North Carolina and in it a copy. of the origina) manuscript of Lord Corn- wallis, now on file in the archives of the historical society of North Carolina at the University. I will now give the route that Lord Corn- wallis traveled in pursuit of Gen. Morgan, who was retreating through North Carolina with the prisoners he had atken at the Battle of the Cowpens. January 17, 1781, the British army was at Sandy, Rum, in Chester, 8. G.; on the 18th at Hill house, in York, S. C.; on the 19th at Smith bouse, on Broad river; on the 20th at Sanders’ planta- tion, S. C.; on the 23d at Taylor court house, N. C.; om the 24th at Ramseur mil} Here the army re- mained until the 28th, when the army marched directly to Beat- tie’s ford, where the army met a different kind of an enemy—a swollen river, 80 much so that it could not cross the river. Cornwak lis then fell back to Forney plan- tation, where he remained until February. 1st and at 2.30 o’cbock in the morning he marched and cross- ed the river at Cowan’s ford, abaut six miles below Beattie's ford. A part of the army, Col. Webster's brigade, crosesd at Beattie’s ford and united with the main army at Torrence’s Tavern and camped be- tween there and Salisbury, called by him “Cross roads to Saliebury.”’ He arrived on the Yadkin Febru- ary 2d and found the same enemy to contend with, towit, high water. Cornwallis then returned to Salis- bury and continued there until February 7th and crossed the Yad» Kin at the Shallow ford. Thus, you see I have followed Cornwa'lis; from his own wmiting, from South Carolina, through Lincoln and Row- an until he crossed the Yadkin. Nothing in this manuscript about bis being 20 miles below Beattie’s ford, nothing in Wheeler's history about Morgan and Green crossing at Beattle’s ford or being at Tor: rence Tavern. Wheeler says that they met higher up the river at the Island ford and from this went directly to Salisbury. My tradition- als say they met at Sherrill’s ford I think my statement is the mor: correct but. I befieve they are both correct. It is wélk kmown (nat Mor gan ,»ad prisoners with h'm that he captured at the battle of the Cowpens-and tradition Bays ti:at he detached them from his direct ar- My under a sufficient guard and sent them in a northwest course to Virginia through the country co keep them from being recaptured by the British, while he should March direét with his f ghting men to Salisbury in front of Corn- wallis umtil he would be reinforced by regular troops from the no:'h, which umion was consummated be- fore the battle of Guilford Court House. Thies guard of prisoners probably was sent off by Morzan west of the. Catawba niver. If so they, would have to cnoss at the Island ford and pags near where Statesville now stands, on in the direction of Virginia. Morgan. then crossed the river at Sherrill’s ford amd was there join ed by Green, as Wheeler says, and proceeded on the route I gave in my former sketch to Salisbury. My informant was Robt. Ramesy, a son of Andrew Ramsey, the grandfather of the presentRobt.A. Ramesy, who was a Whig soldier (said Andrew) and participated in the several battles—Cowpens, King’s Moun- tain, Rameseur’s mill and at Tor- rence Tavern. If all the timber had. been cleared out. at that time Andrew Ramsey could have seen the army of. Morgan and Green as they marched to Salisbury from his own land and plantation, where be lived at that time. A few words in reference to the man Hager, as I come to it next in h's piece. I am personally acquainted with many of the Hagere and kmow them (de- scendants of the one spoken of) to be good citimeng, lovers of the'r country. Iredell county has honor- ad one of them by, electing him a county commissioner and {s now in office serving his coumty. That par- agraph, is all bosh about the doings at Torrence’s Tavern; no one in my knowledge ever hearing of the thing described by Mr. Gillespie. He says the men killed at Tor- rence’s Tavern were buried under Dr. Houston’s gin house. None were ever buried there. What few were Killed were buried near the tavern, on the scene of battle. He sayR Rufus Reid moved the church som thle spot at Dr. Houston’s to the present site. Rufus Reid was not bom when the old eburch or first church was built at its present place The. first church built at ite present pite was in 1775 and Me. Retd was not born for severa)| years after that, at least 20 years. /He was botn and raised in the county of Lincoln and, if I re- , he was old enough before duct a store in Lingoln. I think my father wes a little older man than Mr. Reid,and my father was born in ‘the ¢@ecade of 1790. So it was at east 30 or 40 years after old Centre was - built {hat hie came to Iredell (I wit! show here that Mr. Reid was not a’ member of the church it Centre Or anywhere else, but was a very Nberal contributor to the charch and was the largest subser'*cr 10 the »uilding of the present church aud was also one of the building eon:miltee. ) Me Gillespie is very much mis- taken when he says that the house in Dr IHlouston’s yard was the parsonage of Centre church. That house was built by James Hiram Houston, a son of Capt. James Houstonand uncle of the writer, for a storehouse and was used as such, during his Hifetime. Mr. Es- pey was the pastor of Centre church about the year 1830, was a boarder of Andrew Moore, who lived on and owned the place now ownéd by Mrs, Lacy, Morrison, wife of Dr. Morrison, of Mooresville. My moth er-in-law, Mire. Hannah Moore Mc- Neely, was a niece of Adam Moore and she informed me that Mr. Es pey boanded at her uncle’s and that when he came to Cen- tre he was not married but mar- ried while boarding at her uncle’s and that she was a guest at it. Gov. Vance’s wife was a daughter or granddaughter of Mr. Espey. He was pastor of Centre for only two or three years as the record will show. Mr. Gillbepie says that John Ram sey, the historian of Tennessee, a descendant of the old Centre Ram. seys, was at his father’s house in Mecklenburg after the Confederate war. Mr. R. A. Ramsey, a descénd- ent of the Ramsey family, says that the historian Johh Ramsey was dead loag before that time and that he first. saw said history when he was 1small boy and that the author was never in North Carolina during his life. \R.

That Book is now owmed and read ‘by all the people about every- where on top of the earth. It has stood the test of time,of scrutiny and of talent and nothing has been able to gain a permanent victory over it and its contents will always stand while time lasts. I. reading that part of it which treats of the law and its punishment I find that you, Mr. Gillespie, and myself will be ordered some time in the near future to memove from our present habitation and take up our abode ‘nafar distant country, and when that order comes, as it has done | Oo many others,we will be compelled | “0 obey it and on the borders of that, far country we will have to cross a dark and hideous river.

EEE In recent years i has become a oustom, when corporations ape convicted of violating the law, to impose a fine on, the corporation, which is in. reality little punish- ment for the indivduals composing the corporations. Corporations are composed of individuals and whatever is done by the individ- vals in their corponate capacity is by the direction or the consent of the officers of the corporation. It ig absurd to say, then, that the ~@fficers, or those who direct the m@ffairs of the corporation are not Personally guilty; and it is equally absurd not to punish them as indi- viduals. There ie no shadow of justice in punishing men for acts committed as individuals and ex- cuging them as individuals for sim- ilar acts committed in a corporate eapacity. This is preliminary to @aying that Judge Hastings, of the Winston police court, is a man af- ter The Landmark’s heart. Two proprietors of the Forsyth club Were convicted in his court of op erating a liquor chub contrary to law. The men were sentenced to 12 months each on the roads and @ fine of $150 imposed on the club. That's the medicine. It’s all right to fne the corporation as a warn- fing co those whio may be financial- dy int: rested but have nothing to do wth the direction of its af- fairs; to put them on notice to have matters changed or get out. But the individuals who are respon- #ible ‘or conducting the business Of the corporation should be pun- Not Ga to Daath With a Lite Ot Wife Murnierer Put to Drath E Friday Morning.

The Feopla Should Demand Phese amd Other Reforms, Regardicss of Party Affiliation, To the Editor of The Landmark: I see’ im your last issue, as well as in the Baterprise, that the, sal- ary question is again being aidvo- cated. Now as long as politicians run the affairs of the county. and people allow themselves to be run by politicians and allow their prejudice to go farther with them than their honest convictions, this as well as other reforms that are needed will never come. The writer is satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that a majority of the voters of Iredell county, are in favor of salaries. He knowe pien- ty of good mem who have expressed themselves iu: “avor of salaries, but allowed themselves to be brow-4beat- en and kept from voting their sen- tinvents; and he is not wnmindful of the fact, that during the last cam- paign, when salaries was the one great issue, The Landmark, went so farasto say ‘if the candidates who favored salaries were eliected they would not get what they wanted.” Now the reason for that assertion was plain to my mind. That it was a Repwhblican, meve and for, that rea- 8o0n Democrats from other counties would not give Republicans what they wanted and what the people wanted. The writer i§ in full sympathy with the article with regard to judges. He is also im favor of a dog lawand opposedto the method of allowing the road constructing forces to trespaga.on lands through which the roads are beimg con- structed _by. taking top soil and oth er unjust hertiioane without a reas- onable remuneration. The p@ople Ought to rise up in their might, re gardiess of party ties, and remedy these wrongs and not send all lawyers to make laws for the masses, The lawyers naturally want more er and the offices.in Wilkes oppose salaties’ if those of us who fa- vored salaries and refused to vote for candidates favoring salar'es he- coupe they» represented so many other things we did not beli¢ve in, are inconsistent, wil] Citzen, who ig not a Democrat, agree to vote the Democratic ticket next year if 1e candidates favor salaries? We undertake to say, he will not, for he will disagree with them about so many other. things he will do as some of the rest of us did last ale i ee W. A.

The people are long-suf- fering and fonbearing, but sometinie, if continually ignored, they rise up ind smagh things. Deaths, Meoresville Enterprise, 23d.

CITIZEN. Mooresville, Nov. 23. | | | The Landmark agrees with the | ;op‘n-on of Citizen that a majority ;of the people of this county favor | |salanies for county officers; and | \thfs paper has asserted again and | | again, and repeats the assertion now | |—-that the people can have this they want, when they, rise up and demand it. So long as the peo | ple allow politicians to control their| actions they will get nothing ex- cept what the politicians choose to |\give them and they will deserve nothing more. Citizen seems to think that everybody who favored Salaries should have voted, in the last campaign, for the ticket that favored salaries. The Landmark is not a party organ and it ie free to Say that the matters mentioned should not be party questions. If two candidates for office repreé- Sented solely the question of sala- ries or no salaries, The Landmark ould support and work for the Salary man, regardless of his other | views. But this was not so im the | last campaign Taking advantage of the sentiment in favor of sab aries, the minority party in the coumty, allied with a few independ- ents, made the salary question an issue in the hope of defeating the Democrats. Party is no sacred thing to this paper and if the Dem- Ocrats do not represent what the People want they, should be defeat- ed. Bat did the other side repre- sent the people? In the matter of salaries, possibly they did, but prob- ably in nothing else. The gentle- men composing the ticket were, a8 we recollect them, good men: but some of us whio favored salaries were put in the embarrassing po- sition of voting for or against men with whom we agreed on one point but disagreed on all others. There- fore, while desiring salaries above all things, locally,the most of us pne ferred the men with whom we were in agreement inthe majority of in- stances. If nothing but salaries had been involved, it might have been different. But to begin with, The Landmark repeats that it has no idea the candidates favoring sal- aries, had they been elected to the Legislature, could have secur- ed the passage of a salary bill for Iredell. It does no good to say that it would have been a shame had they not been permitted to repre- sent their people even in a Legista- ture in which they were in the min- ority politically. Of course it would have been a shame, but we’re talk- ing about con ons, not theories, and we know the custom of both par- ties in such matters; that is to say, ocal legislation can.be and often is defeated when proposed by, mem bers of the minority party if in- fluential persons in the county who belong to the dominant legislative party object. It might not have been so in this case bit it was ee and .bad to be consider- But suppose they had put a sai- ary bill through, they would doubt-~ less have voted on all other mat- terms directly, contrary to the views of some of us. On the strength of that they would have come home had they, passed a salary bill that was popular, and tried to reap par- tisan adwantage for thetr party in the next campaign. The movement was neither non- partisan mor unselfish. Some peo- ple were in it solely on account of the salary question, but the matter would not have been taken up by the minority party in the county had they not hoped to reap political ad- vantage.

His viewson the course of the courts in the tobacco trust dissolution case, expressed in his editorial, ‘‘The Trusts, the People and the Square Deal’ in the current issue of the Outlook are unmistakable. He =e In the case of the tobacco trust for instance, the settlement in the Circuit Court, in which the representatives of the government seemed inclined to concur, practically leaves all of companies still under the control of 29 original defendants. Sucha result is lamentable from the standpoint of justice. The decision of the Circuit Court, if allowed to stand, means that the tobacco trust has merely been al- lowed to change its clothes, that none of the real offenders have received any real punishment. i ‘Surely miscarriage of pune is not too strong a term to apply to such a result when considered in connec- tion with what the Supreme Court said of this trust.’’ This prince of penmen has epitom- ized in a paragtaph all the objections the independent tobacco men have striven to voice. They have declared themselves unable to See how condi- tions in the tobacco industry could radically be changed with stock own- ership of the proposed new companies remaining vested in the individuals who control the American Tobacco Company.

Bogus (heck Man Worked Albegha- ny Folks. A dispatch from Sperta, Allegha- ny county,ays John M. Ring, a cat- tle dealer living in Grayson’ coun- ty, Va, has skipped the country with money variously estimated at from $5,000 to $20,000, which he is said to have secured‘on bogus checks given in payment for cattle bought from the farmers of ths gective. His plan seems to have been to give checks in return for the cattle he bought and date it from ten to 20 days ahead. H« bought exiensively in Grayson, Ashe and Alleghany counties, and the farmers, unused to the practice of checking, and never doubting but that the check was as good as the money, fell an easy prey to his scheme. The cattle he carried to the Northern markets before h's checks ma‘ured, and there disposed of them. Made a Good Case. Charlotte Observer.

Alfred Merritt, of Duluth, Minn., first president of the Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroad, who styled hifti- self a ‘lumber jack, unacquainted with the methods of the money trust,” told the House Steel trust investigatin committee today that through loans o' less than $1,000,000 from John D. Rockefeller he had lost his ee ar in the Missabe iron mines and the railroad properties now owned by the United States Steel Corporation and estimated to be worth today as high as $700,000,000. Merritt and his brother, Leonidas Merritt, were amo the original owners in the tale Sanerior region and part owners and builders of the Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroad. The elder Merritt declared that he was induced through F. D. Gates. Mr. Rockefeller’s secretary, ‘‘in charge of his charitable work,’’ to put upall his holdings as collateral for loans from Mr. Rockefeller in 1892and 1893. One| loan was for $420,000. Others were | for various sums. Gates, he said, was a Baptist preacher in whom he had confidence and who assured him that by placing a call loan he would not be pressed and that he would be taken care of. The witness related how, two} months after he had put up his collat-| eral with Mr. Rockefeller, during the | panic of 1393, Rockefeller had called | the loan, giving him 24 hours to raise) $420,000, and, being unable to raise the money, he and his brother lost| their property. He admitted that Mr. Rockefeller offered him.an opportun- ity to buy his property back within a year, but declared that the oil king told financiers ‘‘to keep hands off” and that he was unable to raise money | anywhere.
