Im rendering their diecision the judges declared that the two classes a ee ed that ey felt shou av prizes, so" Mr. Leonard presented the South River clase with a dozen of his books, which are now used in the county singings. While the judges were out deliberating Hon. W.. D.

Im the afternoon Laohe ee much winging by the individua classes. ae a entered the contest for the handsome silver cup which ie awarded by the county associa- tion each year, and each class sang several selections. The New Stirling clase was also winner. in this con- test and the cup was placed in its possession to remain until some other class ‘‘out-sings’”’ it. - During the afternoon President 8. C. Johnson, of the Iredell Sing- ing Association, and Leader Lain, of the New Stirling class, made brief talks in which they ex- pressed gratification at the revi- val of interest in the county sing- ings and the noticeable improvement ia the music.

THE WILKES OOUNTY FAIR. Nothing Womderful About the Ex- hibit But Plenty Old-Fashioned Fun—Good Attendance and En- joyable Races. Gentle reader, have you ever “taken in” a Wilkes county fair? If you haven't, thien you've something coming to you. You may not see an exhibit of ‘agricultural products that will be astonishingly helpful to you, but you are mot apt to ask your money back afiter you have deducted your fun. One of these annual events was “pulied * off’ last week—-Tuesday Wednescay and Thureday—and Messrs. T. M. Patterson, A. D. Cooper, H. R. Cowles and the writ- er constituted a party from States- ville who attended. The trip was made in Mr. Patterson's automo- bile, Mr. Patterson travels about the country in his machine, distrib- uting tobacco samples, and his work has taken him about the country so much that he is not only pretty fa- miliar with all the pig paths but the rough places in the pig paths. The writer was im the back seat of the machine and it was some distance on our journey before he discovered how to know when not to sit cross legged but grab held of the seat. This was easy if you would just keep your eye on “Pat,” as the party called him. Whenever Pat’s néck began to go down in his’ collar terrapin fashion, it was time to get hold of something. Pat knew a rough place was on ahead and he knew his head was more secure on a short than a“long neck. But Pat is a good driver and a safe one. If there is any way to get around a }bad place he will find it The |drive was made from Statesville to |North Wilkesboro in about three {running hours.

About the finest buneh of mules, altogether that has been seen here abouts is the lot purchased in St. Louis last week by Messrs. N. B. Mills and C. V. Henkel for county road work. There are 44 in the lot, all big, strong young mules und they will do fine service on the road. The mules cost $475 the pair, exclusive of freight. The total cost will be in the neighbor- ‘hood of $4865. With proper care these mules can be used for road work and then sold for cost, if not for a profit. To do good work it is necessary to have strong, trained teams on the county roads.

Lenoir in her Maxwell car to Visit ; With a roar that could be heard for miles, the great dam of the Baylesg Pulp & Paper Co. at Aus- tin ,Pa., 14 miles from here, went Outat 2.30 o’clock this afternoon. Forty bodies had been recovered from the ruins when darkness came this evening, and it is estimated that fully four hundred are unaccounted for and are believed to be dead. The dam,which was 532 feet long and 49 feet high, was 23 feet thick at the base and held back more than five hundred million gallons of water. For the first time since its construction two years ago, the water was runming over the top today and many persons went out from Austin, a mile and a half away, to see the unusual sight. They were horrified when a_ sec- tluu about 20 feet wide gave way on the west side. A great volume of water poured through the hole, aud the alarm was quickly sounded. People ram for their lives to the hills near by, but some were caught iu the flood and whirled down the valley. A moment later another break occurred, this time on the east side. It was much greater than the firat and permitt@d the bulk of the water behind it to lowlands. Harry Davis, a locomotive en- -|gineer of this place, reached a tel- ephone and notified the operator at the exchange. She called as many persons as possible. But the time was short. The raging flood tore down the little valley,carrying death its debris-covered crest. Hun~ dreds of women and children—the men were away at work—were caught in their homes and drowned before ibey knew what had hap- pened. Houses went down before migity crush of water, and pipes. bent and broken, = re- leased their dangerous fluid. Before water hud passed on its terri- ble course through the town, a doz fires were burning in as many places and the cries of the injur- ed and imprisoned persons joined in the tarrific thunder of the flood. £as ably a half mile from uptown, lo-|44y to assist Pastor J.

The grounds are very pretty and very convenient for the purpose but ther each jis one noticeable defect or objection Mayor Caldwell Saturday for aD /—+there are too many stacks of lum- ber or other elevated places from which the movements in the fair ground enclosure can be witnessed. If the fair pays its promoters, and’ we are told that it does, then it would be nearly a third more re} munerative if these vantage points were removed. No need of paying 50 cents admission when it is just as easy to look on from the outside The agricultural exhibits were nothing to brag on as wonderful but what were there were nice. There was a fair.iy creditable show of Hve stcck. But it was not so much this anyhow, that the majority of the few thousand who were present went to see It was fun they were after, and if they failed to get it it was their own fault. The grounds had pherty of carnival side shows on it buc even this did not satisfy the thirst for fun. The fun was in wa’ching the races—running, trot- ting, etc, etc. There’ were some pretty driving and saddle horseg on the track and they were all right but it was watching the mules and steers sprint around the track the writer got his fun. Comparatively speaking, the mules entered in, the racing were from the size of a quart cup to those with heads as long as a flour barrel. To one familiar with the mind of a mule it waseasy to pick cbe winner in advance as one of the quart cup size with his eyes about half closed. He easily pad- dled himself to victory with his stiff cail. An automatic pump could not nave done the stunt more cer- tainly or gracefully. A switch of his tail ‘first on one side and then the other flirted him in ahead of the others by a good margin. A mule in a race can twist his own tail to advantage. He can use it as a propeller and beat back competi- tion un‘i! he gets in first himsele. Next-on the programme after the Mule races came the steers. There were a bunch of them. The finest spec'men was a big spotted felléw, with long horns tipped with brass. When he was being brought out for the race he became rather excited, broke loose and bounded over a few fences for pastime. Later he was caugbt and hrought back. No ef- fort: was made to hook him to acan or any other kind of vehicle like the other steers. His manager just trotted along with him around the track. On straight going he would have been an easy winner but he wanted to take near cuts over the fence. Fooling along thie way the steers to the carts kept pretty well up with him. One steer, hooked to a buggy, broke a trace about fifty yards on the race. . The driver jumped out, trotted along, held up the shaft and prodded the steer and in this way came out nearly first. There came near being a fatal accident during the day. When the horseback riders were on their sec- ond heat im the running race one of the horses shied the track and plunged through the fence, running over a buggy in which was a little boy. The boy was badly hurt but, which teams will be hired- from Sarmers. . will recover. The bugey was partly church this week. Services |}being held each afternoon at 3.30 jand at 7.30 in the evening.

The blow rendered him unconscioug and it was feared for a time that his skull had _ been fractured. The call for a _ ptysi- cian was answered by Dr. Sharpe, who sped out to the creek in his auto and dressed the injury, which was found to be only a flesh wound requiring several stitches to sew it up.. The blow was a severe one, however, and Mr. Bal- lard was unconscious for an hour Mr. Ballard was ‘crane man’ on one of the Catawba dredges. Olub Meptings.

There have been ning murders in New Hanover county im the past four months. very eaught here and it is believed that The course of the flood was little village A majority of the buildings were of wood and those which were not immediately wreck- ed by the torrent were soon in flames. So sudden was the onslaught of water that many persons had no time to flee to the hills but ofhers received the warning, and believ- ing it was fire, hastened to the cen- ter of the town,only to be caught in the flood and swept out of the way. The flood passed quickly, leav- ing desolation in its wake. Houses had been crushed and tossed about like toys, while hundreds of bod- ies had been carried down the crest of the surging torrent. With the passing of the water, those who had fled to the. hills hastened to return to their ruined homes in search of relatives and friends,. Here and_ there bodies had been cast up along the path of the torrent, and about forty bod- fes were recovered in a short time. Some of them had been so badly battered by the tossing debris that they were beyond recognition, while others had been carried along with noapparent injury. Many were caught in burning buildings and it will be days before the real ex- tent of the calamity will be known. A dangerous situation developed immediately after the great wall of water bad passed. Austin is equip- ed for natural gas and the great force of the flood tore the mains from the streets. One of them, the Wargest pipe in the town, burst in the business section. A moment afterward the gas gushed out and in a twinkling it had taken fire. There was no explosion but the flames leaped to a height of 20 feet or more and blown by a strong wind was communicated to the nearest house. In ten, minutes a dozen other gas pipes had burst and were pouring their deadly in- flammable fluid into the air. Men who had rushed forward in the hope of doing some good were over- come and fell, while others were caught in the flames and’ incinerat- . The street became a glowing hell and there was no salvation for those who chanced to be near. How many perished at this point is not known, but one estimate places it at a score. best, and with this swept away by the flood,and no one left to man the little apparatus the town possess- ed, the progress @f the flames was uninterrupted. Rapidly they swept from house to house,leaping streets and alleys, and fed by the contin- ual supply of gas from bursting mains, there was no staying their progress. ‘Fhey licked up what the water had left. Many persons, crushed and help- less in the wrecks of buildings only partly destroyed by the water, were consumed in the flames. Their shrieks could be heard by the help- aleep and paralyzed by the sgenes about them, endeavored to save a Mfe here and there, where it seem- ed possible.

Women and _ children there were among the wounded and dying but among the scores of men who might at other times have braved death to save the lives of the unfortunate there was none to “iy wn atthe shops of the But. falo & Susquehanna railrod, his- tory was in the making. The build- ings were located below the business section, on the banks of Freeman Run and were more substantial than most of the houses which had been swept away by the flood. When the great mass of crushed and broken timbers, representing the homes of a few minutes before, came crashing down, they lodged against the shops. The impact was 80 great that the buildings shivered and the walls were crushed in. But the framework stood and form- ed a barrier against which flot- Sam and jetsam of the flood found lodgment. Here as elsewhere the natural gas pipes burst and as the shops were in operation fire was quickly commu- nicated to the hetrogenious mass. Men were caught before they could leave their machines. Some of them were crushed to death without a warning, but others less favored of fortune were pinned down and met horrible deaths in the rapidly kindling flames. Nearby was the plant of the Stan- dard Lumber Company. It had on hand a large. stock of stove wood ready for shipment.. When the pipes burst there the burning gas broke through the building and it was soon destroyed. Here, too, debris had piled high and the, lucklesgs ones who had been s gown etream met death at t point. For hours the machine shops and the lumber plant burned. And the odor of burning flesh was 650 |strong as to drive many persons |from the scene. How many died jhere will nevér be known by count- ing. Here is where the first organ- ized’ effort at relief was made. Mad- dened bythe sights about him,one man, with tears streaming down his cheeks, cried for volunteers to save the lives of men whose cries fainter. The wreck of the Austin Hardware Company had been-swept from: its location on Main street to the lumber mill. Here were buckets in abundance and there was the little stream, still swol- \len,although the force of the. flood |had passed. Seizing a bucket this junknown hero dashed into the |stream, filled it with water, .and |calling for help, ran toward a point |where it appeared one man might ibe saved. Others followed his ex- Loople, But to no purpose. Gas and heat combined to drive them back and they eventually gave up }the battle. | But the blazing pile continued to |burn through the night, the most conspicuous and most deadly spot in this valley of death. Gradually the cries for help and the groans of dying men grew fainterand when the great mass of debris and rem- nants of the burning buildings had become nothing more than a huge pile~of glowing coals, the agoniz- ing sounds ceased and that chapter of this terrible tragedy was closed. Over at the paper mill, the great factory,where 60 many of the people of the town find employment, the situation was little better. Al though not so many persons were killed, some. of them were crushed beyond recognition when a_ part of the factory went down before the water. It, too, caught fire and the scenes to which the half-paralyz ed people were rapidly becoming accustomed, were re-enacted. A little girl—she could not have been more than 15 years old—had been caught in the crush. The flames were appearing here with the rapidity only equaled by the speed of the flood which had made her plight possible. Pinned down under a heavy timber, one leg crushed, it was impossible for her to free herself. No one seemed to know her name, but her eries for help were not unheeded. As in the first in the machine shops, an unknown man rose to the occasion. Running into a part of the factory not destroyed by the flood. he seized an axe and returning to the spot where the helpless child was imprisoned, he chopped at the tim-, ber. But his strength gave out. Meantime a crowd had gathered. There were not more than a dozen men but when a volunteer showed signe of weakening another sprang ‘forward, snatched the axe from his hand and attacked the timber with vigor, Meantime the fire was ap- proaching. The heat drove him away. Another took his place and they say he was a doctor whose family had not been seen bince the flood of a few hours before. He saw at a glance the fire would be upon them before the timber would be made to yield. Carefully he looked at the girl. Then with calm precision he leveled the axe at the helpless victim. A stroke or two and it was over. The leg was severed. Willing hands caught up the poor scorched and bleeding girl and carried her to the hospital on the hill. She may dle from shock.

It was what we called an “old field’’ or primary school. I do not remember of hearing of a wchoo] being taught at any other place in the congregation between 1775 and 1800. In my younger days I heard eld people relate that the congre- gation came to church as regularly es Sunday came and that the house was always filled. They were all there for the regular two sermons in the summer time and one in the winter time. In those times wheel vehicles were very scarce and al- most everybody rode horseback, The old man Would take a child em im front of him and one op Behind and the old - woman would do the same and the children who were old emougb to ride by themselves mounted two or three or a horse, and thus they all went to @hurch. They came in this was from all parts of the congregation, the distance from Sherrill’s Ford to the church being about ten miles. On the road from Centre to @tatesville (known as the Falls road,) in time far in the past, two men going from preaching, on Sun- day,concluded to run a horse race. The horse of one of them shied nd left the, road and threw his wider against a post oak tree and Killed him, at a point about half mile from the.church. In the year 1800 there was held within the bounds of Centre con- @regation and under its auspices. @t -Shepherd’s. Cross Roads, the largest camp méeting ever known ip this country. I have forgotten the time of the year it was held ®ut certainly not in the winter,for Yn that year—1800—the largest @now ‘ell that is of record in this eountry. It covered the ground to @ depth of four or five feet, all the fences being entirely covered by at. Roads to the barns, cribs, @pring and ot'-r places had to be made with n° ses by riding them back and forth to break the way. All the deer and game were de wtroyed by it. (This information in regard to this storm I received from Robert A. Ramsey, father of the Present KR. A. Ramsey, who was living at the tffe and 15 or 16 years of age.) The camp meeting was held at or very near what was then, and is yet, known as Shepher’’s X Roads. It was a un- jon meeting of all denominations, there being, according to tradition, 14 ministers pregent of the various wects, and about 10,000 people, who @ame from far and near, in attend- Rack ek, afoot. or just any way the : y ould get there, camping out, tending the m ed.

Robert Rumscy, ‘rst, the father of the whole i-siy, emigrated from Virginia, Maryland or Penn- sylvania, ie «b+ year 1765, and settled cu the Place at present in the possession cf his grandson, Rob- ert A Ramsv. ' They must have arrived early ip the morning, . for ‘a tradition in the family says that they built a log cabin the day they arrived eud eglept in it that night. The family consisted of Robt. Ram- sey and wife, six boys and a daugh- ter. The boys were Andrew, Da- vid, Robert, James, John and Wil- liam. They were all in the war and participated in the battles of Cowpens, in South Carolina, King’s Moun'‘ain, Ramseur’s Mill and Tor- rence’s Tavern William was wounded at Ramseur’s Mill but the others went through the war with- eut a scratch from a bullet or bay- onet. At the battle of Cowpens, in South Carolina, Andrew Ramsey found that three or four of our men had a British soldier penned updina fence corner,who wonld not surrender, and taking in the situa- tion he seized one of their guns and shot him dead on the spot. The Ramsey family lived on Lambert's creek, the same which I now live on, about eight miles due north of Torrence’s Tavern, now Mt. Mourne. Robert A. Ramsey, a grandson of Andrew and great grandson of Robert, first, is now living on the same place occupied by his great | grandfather, and in the same house that was standing during the Revo- lution. It isthe only Colonial house that I know of in this part of the country. Andrew inherited and settled on this old homestead, now in the possession of his grandson, Robert A. Andrew had at least two so0n6, | |Robert, father of the present |Robert A. Ramsey, and James. | am not sure,but I thinkJames lived | in Rowan county. He was the fath- er of the late Col. William Ram- sye, of Iredell county, who was the father of Mel. and Marshall Ram- sey, of Statesville, and of Arthur Ramsey, now of Winston. Robert, son of Robert first, set- tled and lived on the waters of Withrow’s creek, in Iredell qounty, about four miles east of Shepherd's X Roads, on the place now owned by C. L. Shinn, Esq. He left one géon, David, and probably other children. David inherited the old home place of his father and lived on it till his deatb. He was a member of Centre church till the building of Bethésda, about seven miles southeast of Statesville, of which he was made a ruling elder and served as such till his death. He had a son who became a man of cousiderable note and prominence— the late Dr. James Grahanfi Ramsey, of Rowan county, who was a gradu- ate of Davidson College about the year 1837 or 1838, either of the first or second class that graduat- ed from that college. After grad- uaung he studied medicine, mar- ried and settled in Third Creek congregation. He was a ruling el- der in Third Creek, and a man who stood highinthe estimation of the community, both as a man and a physician, and had a large prac- tice iu his profession. He was 4& member of the House of Represen- tatives in the Confederate Congress during the civil war. After the war he resumed the practice of medicine and continued until inca- pacitated by the infirmities of age. He was once,in 1884,nominzated by Republican party and ran as can- didate forCongress but the opposing party having the gerrymandering of the congressional - districts, normal majority was so great that notwith- standing his personal popularity,he was defeated. He left a number of sons,one of whom is Jas.H.Ramsey, the popular postmaster of Salis- bury, who has held that position for somsth'ng Mike 25 years, ex- cepting the two terms of President Clevelaud’s administration . David Ramsey,son of Robert first, settled om the eastern part of the homestead ,the place owned and cocu pied byMissMargaretSalinda Ramsey, his granddaughter, who died recent- ly, aged about 87. He had a son, Rufus,who was for a long time a ruling elder in Centre church. Ru- fus had only two children—-Thomas. who die@ before his father, and Margaret Salinda. Of Robert Ramsey, the. head of this family, a tradition of Revolu- tionary times has been preserv- ed which is in substance about as follows: In the affair at Torrence’s Tavern with the army of CornwaA lis, late in the evening as Mr. Ramsey was fleeing from the ene- my, on looking back he beheld a British officer in hot pursuit of him and gaining on him rapidly. Not feeling disposed to engage in a horse race at that particular time with the odds against him, he wheeled on his horse and brought down his pursuer, bringing to an abrupt termination not only the of- ficer’s pursuit of him but to his earthly career as well, aftér which he tarried not thereabouts but made bis escape under cover of the dark- ness . After the army had left and was on its march toward Salisbury Mr. Ramsey went back to the spot where the incident occurred @nd '|there found the dead body of his |Victlm, which after stripping ft \of its equipment and arms, he bu ried it decently. It is said that ‘ \the spot is still known in the vioini | 8 ity where it occurred ed that the sword which was tak:n | |from the dead officer is now in the possession: of James H. Ramsey postmaster at Salisbury James, John and William Ram \Sey, sons of Robert first, having F | bought the land warrants of the hj other brothers, granted by the gov- ernment for military service, emi- lerated to Tennessee and settled on their lands. Joba had a son numed John and it was this Joha Ramsey who was the author of a history of Tennessee—“The Annals of Tennessee.”” A son of John, the “istorian, came back to North Caro- lina during the civil war and settlec three miles north of Charlotte. Thus we see that there have. gone out from Centre congregation at least four men who have achieved honor and fame, viz: The Hon. Bam Houston, the founder of a new na- the historian, and Dr. Jameg G. Ramsey, a Confederate Congress- man. Mrs. C. C. Goodman, of Moores- ville, a great granddaughter of Christian Rheinhardt, who lived on! the edge of the battlefield of Ram- | seur’s Mill, says there is a tradi- tion in her family to the effect that Mr. Chal. Sherrill, aged 24, died Monday of last week at his home near Terrell, Catawba county, after a lingering illsess. He had been married about a year and his wife survives. ub ee In Wadesboro Menday of lam week Tom |jBoggan was shot by Bua Bennett, Boggan dying next day.

Baltmore Sun. Admiral Chadwick, commander of the battleship New York and chief of staff to Admiral Sampson at the time of the naval battle off Santia- go, has written the history of the fight, in which he gives the credit of the victory to Admiral Schley. He also furnishes a statement from Admiral Concas, of the Span- ish flagship Maria Teresa, which proyes, what Admiral Dewey declar- ed after the Schley court martial, that the famous ‘‘lhop’”’ of the Brooklyn was the bit of strategical work that defeated the Spanish plans of escape and wrecked the Spanish fleet. Dewey, Chadwick, Concas, these three sea fighters, unite in doing justice to the man whose laurele others attempted to snatch and whose splendid record of success a President of the United States vainly suoght to smirch by an as sumption of knowledge of naval af- faire greater than that of the men whose actions in war have made the history of the United States navy glorious.

More About Humus in the Soil and the Value of Green Manure. L. Burgess, N; C, Dept. Agri- culture . We have aow attempted to explain the phenomenon called ‘‘souring of the soil’’ and to point out a practi- sable remedy, néamely: roll the green manuring crop; disc it @ number of times in the opposite di- rection to the rolling while yet green and succulen* in order to cut it into small bits; plow it under; dise it once or twice after plowing, depending on the amount of mate- rial on the land; with the dise set at a slight angle in order to pulver- ize and mix the cut-up vegetable matter with the whole soil straf- us; aud aliow the land to settle a few weeks ald receive one or more good raivs , We shall now take up in sucoes- sion and Giscuss the value of @ number of humus-forming materials other than anima! manures, and theu point out methods of hand- ling them in connection with differ- eut crops _.In a previous chapter we gave the average chemical analysis of a large number of samples of green rye in which we found this material tc. contain 10 Ibs. of nitrogen, 5 lbs. of phosphate and 14 lbs. of pot- ash per?ton. All cf these constitu- ents are taken from the soil by the roots, built into the tissues of th: |plant and given out again to a 6uc- jceeding crop when the rye decays. A crop of green rye weighing eight tons to the acre is easily grown on the average farm in North Carolina. This amount of green rye incorporated with the first ten inches of a ten-acre field Ce would furnish to the soil of this field, in a readily available form, 890 lbs. of nitrogen, 400 Ibs. of phosphate and 1,120 lbs. of potash. Thjsis as much nitrogen as would be furnished by 20 tons of 8-2-2 fer- tilizer or 100 loads of fresh cow manure. The phosphat in this amount of green stuff is equal that contained in 2% tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer, or in 200 loads of fresh horse manure. The potash found in this material is equal to that found in 28 tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer or in 150 tons of fresh horse manure. Sufficient rye to seed the ten ae@res will cost around $10, whereas, it would cost $75 to haul and spread the 150 tons of stable manure. In the above we have mentioned merely the plant food constituents rendered available by the rye and have not taken into account the vast amount of humus for holding mois- to|f —— A TRAGEDY IN ROOCKINGHAM.

Hank Morse had been promised several months ago by Mise Stone that she would marry him a lit- tle later.

About 8 o'clock Childers called at the Stone house and asked Beulah to walk to the drug store with him for a_ cold drink In front of T. F.

London Dispatch, Sept. 29. Aftaira developed today with ex- traordinary rapidity, A state of war existe between Italy and ‘Tur- No sooner had the time HMmit fixed in the ultimatum’ expired than, ignoring Turkey's conciliatory request for a pertod of delay, Italy declared war. The Turkish repre- sentatives in Italy were handed their passports. The Turkish commander at Tripoli was asked to surrender the town, but declined, and the Italian forces immediately occupied Tripoli and Bengazi. Apparently the Turks offered no resistance, but this is only an as sumption, as immediately on land- ing the Italians evidently seized the telegraph lines. From the hour of their landing no message of any kind had been received from Tripo- Ji and dispatches sent to that place remain unanswered. It should be noted, however, that a Constantinople dispatch, an- nouncing Italian occupation of Trip- oli, makes no mention of resistance, and a mere protest from the v- ernor would be in line with Tur- key’s announced policy. The Turkish cabinet, which had been for some time insecure, re- signed as soon as war was declared, and a new ministry was formed un- der Saida Pasha, but retaining the former able war minister, Mahmoud Shefket Pasha. Turkey continues her efforts to secure intervention by the powers. In the meantime Italy is actively pursu.ng hostilities. Italian bat- Ueships are reported to have ap- peared off Smyrna and Saloniki. An Italian cruiser landed troops at Prevesa, after destroying a Turkish torpedo boat destroyer, and the Ital- ian fleet has blockaded the whole Tripolitan coast. There are unconfirmed reports that Turkey intends to send an ul- timatum to Greece to abandon her claim on Orete, and is massing troops on the Thesalian frontier.

The party was to leave London this wéek, but the outbreak of war may change ite plan. How the News Was Received \ ab Washington. Washington Dispatch, Sept. 29th. The declaration of war by Italy tpoun Turkey, coming as it. did with pfactically no notice, created a great sensation in official Wash- ingtou . The State Department had felt reasonably confident that the other signatories of the Berlin treaty, which fixed the“status of Turkey, would be able to bring com- bined ure to bear upon Italy to divert her from her purpose to seize Tripoli. The only conclusion that could be drawn from the developments of the past 24 hours was that what was happening is only a natural se- quence of the Franco-GermanrMofoc co negotiations, and that all along it has been understood tacitly that Italy would be given a free hand to dea] with Tripoli in return for re- fraining from intervening in the Moroccon dispute ,although her in- terests in the country of the Moors are quite as improtant as those of any of the nations:of northern Eu- rope. Indications are that America will keep clear of the present struggle for domination in Africa, if that is possible. It is distinctly asserted at the State Department that the United States hag absolutely no po- litical interest’ in that part of the world. Late this afternoon .the Department received an appeal from Oscar Straus, formerly American ambassador to Turkey, to intervene between Italy and Turkey.

Italians at Prevesa is greatly resented by Austria and Germany and had much to do with their re- ported change of attitude towards Italy.

N The trouble between Turkey and Italy dates back to 1878,when,with the making of the treaty conclud- ing the Rus#o-Turkish war, the powers are understood to have agreed to permit Italy a ‘‘pacific penetration of Tripoli.’’ Turkey as- serts that this right has been re- spected ever since. Italy has col- onized Tripoli until her interests {ip that African province are very great. She has asserted, however, that her subjects have been mis- treated by the Ottoman authority and constantly discriminated against. Frequent disputes have arisen, but the prolonged negotiations have = resulted satisfactorily to It- aly. At the time of the Franco-Ger- man differences regarding Morocco were acute Italy turned her atten- tion again to Tripoli and in sub- sequent negotiations with Conetan- tinople set forth that many outrages jagainst her subjects had been per- |petrated and for which no redress jhad been made.

Annie Crawford, of New Orleans, La., an alleged drug fiend, was arrested a week ago on the charge of poisoning her younger sister, El- aie, a stenographer. Three other members of the Crawford family have died under mysterious circumstances within the past 15 months and Annie Crawford was the beneficiary nam- ed in the insurance policies on the life of each. The policies she held on all four amoun to only $1,750, however. The police say she has spent nearly all the money for clothes. Elise Crawford died suddenly Sat- urday, September 23, and under circumstances so suspicious that the coroner had the contents ef the stomach analyzed by an expert chemist. The finding of traces of morphine was. followed by the ar- rest of the sister. Annie Crawford will be given an eatiy trial, according to the state- mert of District Attorney Adams Friday. Legal counsel asked by the accused will not be assigned un- til her case has been apportioned to the court which will conduct the trial. It was aleo announced that Miss Crawford will not be charged with causiug the deaths of her father, motber and sister, Agnes, all of whom died under mysterious cir- cumstances in 1910. This decision, {t is stated, is based on the city’s chemist’s report that & practical- ly would be impossible to deter- mine tae presence of poison in any of tbe bodies after having been buried so long. Much comment has resulted from the fact that no coroner's investiga- tion was made in this case, all investigation being conducted per- sonally by the district attorney, working with detectives of the local police department It is declared by many that the State’s case was V.

Fine Feed Growing With the Latter Rains. Mooresville Enterprise. Up to several weeks ago it looked as if the farmers in this section would find it difficult to provide sufficient roughness for their stock and’ cattle duting the winter, but on the farms of ‘those who went ahead and sowed peas and corn for roughness, you will find that the majority of them will make almost if mot quite as much forage this year asiu years past,although they will gather little or no peas and corn, Mr. Fred. Gray Deaton has peavines that are waist high, and his field is not an exception.

Before being sent off Vaughan had lost his little daughter,who was burned so badly tn February of the present year that she died. The trouble so upset him that he brood- ed amd brooded over it until he finally went to the cemetery and dug the coffin up. Some _ neigh- bors later saw him and tried to dis- suade him, but his appeal was 60 pitiful with his promise to carry the coffin back and bury it, that he was allowed to take the body of the little girl to his home. There he kept her and fondled her in the state of complete decomposition and finally reburied her. During the time that he kept his favorite child at his home he declared that he slept peacefully. He grew violent and declared that he meant to kill his entire family and bury them in the new grave.

THE LANDMARK TUMSDAY, — — October 3, 1911 GAMBLING AND SUCCESS. — o The Two Do Not Go Together— * The! Evil of the Former, Asheville Citizen. Elbert Hubbard hasy written many classics, and although there are some things from his pen which Christian men and’ women repudi- A&te, he has written much that’ has noelped to make men better——better men and better citizens. One of his articles which has attracted much attention appeared necently under the head of “The Gambler,” and several papers have reproduced it. Hubbard rightfully claims that gam- bling and success in life’ cannot go hand in’ hand, and he refers the doubters to Sing Sing prison, behind whose walls lie some of the great- est gamblers the world has ever mown. In part Mr, Hubbard says: “No man who plays for money jean keep his position long. The fact is, none of us has a surplus of brains, and if you are going. to succeed in business all the power you have to your credit de- manded. The man who can ‘play cards at night and do business in the day time hasn’t been born. “Life is a bank account, with 50 much divine energy at your «dispos- What are you going to do with I* you draw your checks for you cannot draw for that Take your choice.

An Ilbustration of His Value to the Community if He is Active and Energetic, Charlotte Chronicle. The September number of the Bulletin of the North Carolina Board of Health opens with an edi- torial on the’ importance of the alertness of the health officer. It takes as an instance the prompt reporting to a health officer by a physician of three cases of typhoid fever’ in one family. Then the health officer set to work. He found the three cases of fever in a home equipped with public sew- erage. While there were several nearby surface privies on neighbor- ing lots there was no typhoid fever in the surrounding blocks. All the children had fallen sick about the same time,which indicated a com- mon origin. The home was supplied with city water,the monthly analy- sis of which showed it to be pure. it at last developed that the chil- dren had bought ice cream from an itinerant vender who sold cream on the streets regularly. His place of business was investigated. It was found that he obtained his milk from an exceptionally sanitary diai- ry.. The water used in washing the vessels was obtained from a well. A sample of water from this well was taken and sent to the State Laboratory of Hygiene for analysis. It was found. grossly polluted. These authentic circumstances leave practically no doubt as to typhoid fever, one of which termi- nated fatally. While for some, alas! there is nothing but tragedy “The man who succeeds in busi- ness is the one who goes to bed | before 10 o’clock at night; and only | one thing is he jealous of, and that | is cutdoor exercise. | “Gambling robs a man of rest | and the keen edge of life is lost in shuffling the pasteboards.

He is now oblig- ed to play heavily because his debts are accumulating. It is an old story, and dozens of men in Sing Sing can tell you about it a aes New York Court Fixes Value of Shade Trees at $500 Each. Exchange. The appellate division of the New York Supreme Court has con- \firmed a judgment of the lower court, fixing what may be called | a good round value on trees in 8 | city. | A construction company doing | work on a street, found that the trees hindered their progress. They thereupon cut dowr the trees without so much as considering for one moment their value to the own- | er’s property. Suit was at once brought against the company, the damages being laid at $500 for each tree cut down. The plaintiff recovered for the full amount as the value of the trees, and the court added | $1,000 more for punitive damages. | It was this verdict which was car- ried to the appellate court and has | been sustained. | The recent hot spell has demon- | strated the value of shade trees. Not only are they things of beau- | ty, but in warding off the oppress- | ive rays of the direct sun they af- fora great protection to both | health and life. It is in the tree- | less, shadeless, unprotected parts of | the city that the largest per cent- age of heat fatalities always oc- cur. Even on. days when not a br-ath of air is stirring, and when it is hot everywhere, the . shade of a tree is grateful and affords a sense of relief. Five hundred dollars may seem a large sum for a tree in a city, but it must be remembered that the value of the tree as kindling wood or as lumber, or even as the mate- rial for house trim or furniture, is not the thing to. be considered. The tree required many years to grow. It notonly adorned the prop- erty, but it afforded health, comfort enjoyment and protection to its owners. Its place, when destroyed, could not be filled by another tree inside of 15, 20 or 30 years, and all this time the owners of the property are deprived of its bene- fits. When the courts take all these facts into consideration, and assess construction companies $500 for each large tree wilfully destroyed by them, trees will be eafer and the work of shade tree commissions will be better protected and more highly respected. Unique Olaim For Damages Against the Government. Washington Dispatch. The death of an unborn child will be the basis of a claim for damages in the sum of $10,000 against the United States government, as guar- dian of Chief Becody, a Navaje In- dian. The claim is to be presented before the Court of Claims at Washington by attorneys on behalf of Mrs. Anna Devoord, of Hunting- ton, W. Va. Chief Becody ran amuck in the Grand Central depot in this city February 21, 1909, and stabbed a number of persons.

The Maps of the United Stated Ge Survey and How They Are Made, Washington Dispatch. The greatest official map-making establishment in this country, or perhaps in the entire world, is the United States Geological Survey. In constructing the huge topograph- ic and geologic maps of the United States every detail of the work is done by the survey, from the work of the topographers who make the maps in the field down through the various stages of drafting, lettering, editing, engrav~ ing and lithographic printing in many colored inks. There is prac- tically no compilation about the Geological Survey maps; they are based on surveys made on th4 ground, and the office work is simply in putting them into form for issuance to the public. They de- pict most faithfully the characteris- tics of the areas surveyed. Every year, with the coming of the open field season, numerous survey parties burry away from the Washington office to the four quar- ters of the United States, as well as to Alaska, and the result of their season’s work is the topo- graphic and geologic mapping of tens of thousands of square miles of all sorts of country, ranging from the most forbidding swamps and morasses to the loftiest of the gla- cier-covered mountains of the Rock- fea and the high Sierras, and in- cluding the most valuable mineral deposits of the nation. While these parties are thus-traversing untrod- den fields, the survey and engraving and printing plant throughout the summer, as, in fact, through all the] year, is turning out hundreds of | thousands of copies of the results} of the previous year’s field work | In a single midsummer month! this year the survey plant printed | 102,404 topographic maps, 5,344 ge0- I can put it up to stay.

Airy, did with a 20-} lacre field he owns oear that town The News says: ‘It was in wheat and he made 385 bushels and is selling it at | $1.25 for seed. It is clean and he | will have no trouble to sell it. The Straw weighed 19,200 lbs | worth 75c. per hundred, and this; will add $154 to the sum he gets | from the wheat After the wheat was off he sowed the land in peas and estimates the pea crop of hay at 35,000 pounds and this will bring $1.50 per hundred or $5265, and is | making the sum total of $1,160 that he will get this year from the 20-acre field. Mr. Smith says that he can hire all the labor and make corn at 8 1-3 cents per bush- el whete his land will produce 50 bushels tothe acre. He further says that he would not cultivate land that is not strong enough to make 5 bushels of corn on an acre And that is the way some men make movey farming. They waste no energy on land that is not suffi- ciently productive to be cultivated with profit. If the land is not strong emough then they make it strong enotgh before they stop.”’ Causes of New York Poverty. New York World. Only two families {pn every one hundred of the 1,573, which have been in the care of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor this summer,were brought to poverty through intemperance. The per centage goes against pre- conceived notions and is, indeed, surprisingly small. It should dis- turb that prosperous complacency which sees in poverty only or main- ly the penalty of wanton misdeed. The association’s report for 1909 showed that intemperance, impris- oument, desertion, ‘‘ghiftleasness and inefficiency,’’ all told,accounted for not 12 per cent. of those brought to want. The figures for that year showed that 65 per cent. of the poverty was due to two causes—sickness and un- employment. This summer the two causes account for 68 per cent. of the poverty noted, and 43 percent., o1 néarly half, was due to sickness alone. .Here are causes of misery which society can abate or largely re-| move and the economic evils of | which it can provide against through some form of insurance. Thirty gold nuggets, some as | large ag peas, were taken from the | craws of six geese raised by Mrs. | Israel Altschul, of Santa Barbara, | Cal., says a press dispatch. When neighbors heard of the find a small gold rush was started. They began working im the vicinity and in washing the sand several small nuggets were found.» Thé:gold was probably washed down from the moyntains yeara ago.

Chicago Dispatch, Sept. 30th. The threatened atrike of the shopmen on the Harriman lines to enforce recognition of their newly- organized federation, became a re- ality today. The number of men who quit work in the 15 States af- fected was estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000 by the union men, although Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president of the Harriman lines is q statement tonight, said the number was much smaller. Reports from most of the points indicated that the men walked out without demonstrations and no riot- ing, was reported. Traffic was continued without in terruption and the railroad heads gay that the shopmen’s strike, even if extended, would not interfere with transportation. The response to the strike or- der was general throughout the mid- dle West and: in the South. he men had received notices from’ the international] presidents of the five crafts directly involved and when the hour came they laid down their tools. At New Orleans, where the strike already had extended from a strike of the Illinois Central rail- road clerks and the men had been out several days, two men received jail sentences for violation of a Federal injunction restraining them from interfering with the compa- ny’s property. In the far West it was said by the six roads a_ small percent- age of workers responded to the strike call. Vice President Krutt- achnitt issued the following etate- ment: “At many of the intermediate points on the Union and Southern Pacific linea, shop forces were laid off to reduce working time and effect reduction of expenses, At ether pointa no men at all went out and at some points only one or two. “Train schedules on all lines are normal and the maintenance of reg- ular schedules will in no manner be interrupted.” The men involved ate divided into the following groups, according to} the Union men: Machinists, 10,000; boilermakers, 4,000; blacksmiths, 3,000; car men, 11,000; clerks, 1,000; miscellaneous workers, 1,000. Vandalism of Strikers. A carload of strike-breakers on their way to New Orleans over the IMinois Central were stoned by a mob as they passed through Mc-~ Comb, Miss., Sunday morning. Win- dows were broken and several of the men were injured by broken glam or by being hit with stones. The men finally used the car seats to barricade the windows. A train- man made the atatement that there were approximately 75 in the yards with knuckle know,r. The burning of a wooden trestle 850 feet long near Douglas, Ga., and the reported flogging of «a white fireman at Vidalia, Ga., were the only dévelopments Sunday in the strike situation on the Georgia & F.orida railroad, the firemen of which went out several days ago. Not a wheel moved Sunday. Vice President E. L. Bemiss, how- | ever, gave out a statement to the effect that full serv@fé would be in operation Monday with white fire- men, amply protected from strikers. _—_ Shoets Virst Oousin About Noth- ing: Lilesville Special, 1st, to Charlotte Observer. Samué, T. Smith was shot and instantly killed on the streets of Lilesville at 5 o'clock this after- noon by T. J. Flake, his first cousin, who was drinking. Smith had just returned from a drive to Blewett’s Falls, driving a balky horse, which stopped in the streetg near the square. Flake came up and told Smith he could make the horse gq and and pro- ceeded to get in the buggy. Smith told him that if he, Flake,was go- ing to drive, he, Smith, would go out, and he left the buggy. Mlake taking exception to his cousin’s ac tions, followed him from the vehic- le. Drawing a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson pistol, he shot at Smith and as the latter ran around the post- office building Flake continued to shoot four shots,two of which took effect, the last passing through his the fol- —— immediately above shoulders, from which death lowed in 15 minuteg .

Prof. J. M. Massey, the blind musi- cian, who was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for 12 months from thiscoun- ty for passing a worthless check, and whose sentence expired about three months ago, has gone back to his old tricks. He has just been arrested in Cosa, Ark., for passing a worthless check on the Bank of Union, at Mon- roe. He passed the check at Larkins- ville, Ala., and it was for ten dollars. It is said that Massey’ work in the State penitentiary for the 12 months was turning the grindstone, and the probability is that he will soon be turning it some more. The New York law which makes it a penitentiary offence to carry concealed weapons, which recently became effective, is being enforc- ed. The other day a man on whose person a pistol was found was sent to the penitentiary. Don't use harsh physics. The reaction Weakens the bowels, leads to chronic onstipation.

Thomas “Erwin Sherman,son of Gen. W. T. Sherman, has been committed to an insane asylum at San Jose, Cal. In 1889 he attract- ed attention by joining the priest- hood of the Roman Catholic Church and spent several years trying to bring about a better understanding between Protestants and Catholics. Mrs. R. J. Darnell, of Memphis, Tenn., and her daughter, Beatrice, 20 years old, were instantly killed, another daughter, Pauline, 17, was probably fatally injured, and Wm. C. Collier, formerly of Memphis, aud John Mott, a chauffeur, were seriously hurt when a_ taxicab wnich was taking them to the Freeport station was run down by a Long Island train at Freeport, N. Y., Sunday night. Several hundred farmers, Ibusi- ness men and bankers, meeting in Columbia, 8. C., last week, dis- cussed plans to keep the cotton crop from the market and agreed upon 15 cents as the price of cot- ton. The action of the Southern yYotton Congress at Montgomery was endorsed. Representative bankers from several cities of the State pledged the support of the banks in financing the crop, Oscar Hall, a farmer living near Anderson, S. C., was shot and killed by his 18-year-old son last week. The story goes that Hall went home intoxicated and tried to force whiskey upon the boy, who was ill in bed. Mrs. Hall inter- fered and the father struck her over the head with a broom handle. She fled from the house, followed by her husband, who hada “rifle. The boy staggered out of bed, se- cured a revolver and shot his fa- ther three times. The latter fell dead in the yard. Recent statements that the for- \eign demand for cotton was of ‘a mere ‘‘hand-to-mouth”’ character, were effectually refuted by the enor- mous foreign exports from Savannah Saturday. The official reports |Show that the day’s exports counted |\to 95,756 bales, of which 34,204 went to Great Britain, 10,500 to France,46,680 to the continent and 4,372 coastwise. The foreign ex- ports were 91,384 bales, represent- ing a value of over $5,000,000. KH is believed that this is one of the largest amounts ever exported from any port in one day. Corporal Rowland Beverly, Pri- vate Howard W. Gam,of theCleve- land, O., State artillery company, and Private Earl B.

ANOLHER SECRET MARRIAGE, Mr. Gen Cornelius and Miss Sa- ville, of Statesville, Married Las‘ Spring: Marriage Announced in Richsaond, The following is from a spécial of the 4th from Richmond, Va., .to the Charlotte Observer: “Oh, we just did it for fun,” said Benjamin L. Cornelius, of Statesville, N. C., when asked why he and Miss Perry Saville, also of Statesville, happened to elope co Gaffney, 8. C., April 2, last, and then kept the marriage secret un- til he anounced it today. Cornelius came to Richmond «4 week ago to work. He will be joined Saturday by Mrs. Cornelius, who is wjth ber parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Saville, in Statesivile. In fact, she has been residing at home ever since the marriage, while Cornelius has been living with his mother a few blocks away. He gave out the news of the mar- riage without consulting his wife. Miss Saville was visiting friends inGreensboro when she eloped and owing to a tie-up in the railroad schedule they had to spend the( night in Charlotte en route to Gaff- ney. Rev. George P. Watson per- formed the ceremony. Cornelius admitted his mother-inlaw was ‘a little oppoged to the match.” Mrs. Cornelius, who is now at the home of ber father, Mr. A. M. Saville, on the Boulevard, will lezve tomorrow for Richmond to join Mr. Cornelius. She says the above statement as to the time and place OT the marriage is cor- rect .

Coddle Creek as Old as Centre. To the Editor of The Landmark lp reading Mr. Kerr's interest- ing article on Centre congregation and its people, you would infer that all of those churches he mé€n- tioned in the bounds of Centre con- gregation really sprang from Cen- tre congregation. [Mr. Kerr men- tioned the churches now in the ter vriiory of what was originally the bounds of Centre congregation. He dicn’t say these churches sprang from Centre nor that all the péeo- ple within what was called “the bounds of Centre congregation” held allegiance to that church.— The Landmark.) Unfortunately, all of the records of Coddle Creek AR. P. ehurch up to 1840 have been lost. The oldest grave that has a tombstone is dated 1750 and I hive heard the old people . say that they believed it to be a preach- ing place at that time. The. first pastor that we have any record of was John Boyse, who was install- ed in 1790. I believe Coddle Creek has been a place of worship fully as long as Centre. Yours truly, , J. C. NEBL.

The loss by fire in North Carolina is practically $3,000,000 annually,over $300 per hour, and more than one- halt is not covered by insurance. it is said that practically three fourths of this loss could be pre- vented by the exercise of reasona- ble care. It is certainly proper that the citizens of Narth Carolina g@bould join heartily in the observ- @fce of this day in a campaign for the stopping of this enormous and unbecessary waste. Ov this day let the property own- ers peftsonally efamine their prem- igés and see that all rubbish and @@bris likely to cause a fire is re- mpved Let them examine their eliimneys, flues, pipes and furnaces a see that they are safe for the winter ‘fires 1 earnestly request the viayors of our cities and towns afic the chiefs of our fire depart- me. and their men, and in fact al] bus.vess men and good citizens, to spend one day at least in the examination of our cities and towns, learriug their fire conditions and danyers, and having every menace and condition which: will bring about a fire promptly remedied.

Therefore, the result ae Canada, so far from being a vin- d@ication, of those who opposed reci- procity, is really the opposite; it ig weally a vindication of those who favored reciprocity. Sezator Simmons’ instancing the made no difference ‘to Flake, The Hquyor im him had aroused the hom- icidal memia and having a pistol in his pocket he was ready to satisfy his lust for blood; it was of no concern to him who the victim was.

Meantime a man whose only offense was that he did not wish the compamy of a drunken bul- ly, is buried and will soon be for- gotten except by his family and a few friends.

Summons Comes o Suddanty, as He Walks Along New York Street. New York Dispatch, 2d. Unrecognized by a single person in the throng that rushed to his aid, Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Sehley, U. 8. N., retired, fell dead in front of the Berkeley Lyceum, on west Forty-fourth street, this | jafternoon, / The death of this not- able figure in the naval history of the nation was for the moment that of an unknown man in a strange crowd. The admiral’s sudden | death is attributed to cerebral hem- orrhage, which attacked him short- ly after he, with Mrs. Schley, reached New York this morning from a visit to Mount Kisco and Sharlotte Dispatch, 24. A strange worm, which made ite \ppearance here only @ few days igo, is working havoc in the late otton fields ofGaston county,strip- ‘ing entire fields as they dome of roth leaves and: unopened. bolle. A arge amount of late cotton is srown in thig county and the opia- ion of conservative farmers is that he crop will be curtailed at least several hundred bales. On one farm the pest appeared last Saturday morning and by Mon- day had practically eaten all the bolls of the emtire long staple ‘elds. Older planters recall the appear- ance of this same worm during the summer of 1881, following the dev~ had called at the New York Yacht | Club for hts mail,. As the admiral was wal through west Forty-fourth eter @ passerby, who saw him stagger, | grasped his arm and tried to sup- port him. Despite the stranger's gervice, the admira] fell helpleas to the street and a physician who pressed his way through the crowd that quickly gathered, pronounced him dead. There was a gash over his right eye where his forehead struck the sidewalk. A slight fracture of the frontal bone had ensued, but surgeons who examined the body expressed disbe- lief that this injury in any way contributed to death. His identity was quickly established by letters and papers found in his pocket and from an inscription on his gold watch which had been presented to | the admiral by his native State of | Maryland “For his heroism and/| Memorable service in rescuing Lieut. A. W. Greely, U. 8. A., and six comrades from death at Cape Sab‘ne {n the Aretic region on Jume 22, 1884.” ve The spot where Admiral Schley died is in the very center of New York’s club district and members of organizations whose houses are | thickly clustered there, soon pen- etrated the throng and confirmed the identification of the nae commander who figured so promi- | nently in the naval engagement of /| 1898 at Santiago. 4 matters.

Postage Bilk of $11,000 Part of | Oandidate’s Expenses. Milwaukee, Wis., Dispatch, 2d. On the witness stand before the senatorial investigating commiitte for three hours to answer charges that bribery and corrupt use of money had contributed to his elec- tion, United States Senator Isaac Stephenson today testified that, although he had spent $107,793 wise in the price of wheat has mome ground to stand on. That ‘would seem to indicate that the res importation of Canadian wheat would have the effect of reducing ‘he price of American wheat. The Landmark does not believe this would have been the result in the end, for of course the price of wheat is fixed by the export price. The stock market, the cotton and grain markets, fluctuate, rise and fall, at times from causes that are got real and that do not finally de termine the real price of commod- ities; and it is more probable that the fall in the price of wheat when the reciprocity agreement passed Congress and the subsequent rise when the agreement was rejected by Canada, was an instance of mar- Ket fluctuations, and that had the axreement gone into effect the price of wheat would soon have wettied on the basis fixed in the markets of the world, just as it is mow fixed. Wohile this is The Landmark's view, it admits, as stated, that Senator Simmons has ground for hia contention and a strong argu- ment cau be made from that view- point. But now comes the Max- @on Scottish Chief and, taking Sen- ator Simmons’ argumemt at its full walue, points out that while wheat, Mour, mogar and coffee went up the price of cotton slumped. As our far.nere don’t grow sugar and coffee and most of the cotton. farmers ‘bug wheat, the Chief contends that the rise in the price of these things and the slump in the price ef cotton, as the result of the failure of reciprocity in Canada, has hurt.the Southern farmer and that those who opposed reciprocity not only didn’t help the farmer but flurt him. The Landmark of course doesn’t believe the election in Qan- ada had anything to do with the fall in the price of cotton or the fige in the price of sugar and cof- fee, but there is about as much ground for this argument as there jig for some of the views on the ether side, and it all goes to show how many things—teal and absurd ——one can find to justify his view if he starts out to look for them. That killing in Anson county Sunday seems to have been entire- ly without provocation. T J. Flake was drinking and had a pistol in: his pocket. When his cousin, Sam- uel T. Smith, declined his compa- wy and help with a balky a natural action horse on Smith's part, seeing that Flake was under the in- | fluence of liquor—Flake resented the “ingult’’ by opening fire Smith, who was quietly walking away because he didn't want whing to do with a drunk man When Smith ran to get out of the way Flake pursued him and kept @n firing. The ties of relationship on any- in his campaign, he had little knowledge as to just how it was spemt except that it was not used in wiolation of the law. The details he said he had left to his campaign 1aDa gers. Aa ap instanec of his ignorance of just where the money went he cited an item of $11,000 for post- age. “When my campaign for nomina- tion by the primaries in 1908 came up,” said Senator Stephenson, “I could not lay awake nights trying to figure how the postage was used. I gave sums of money to my Manag- ers and told them to carry on a vigorous campaign and do every- thing to elect me, except they must keep within the law. I cautioned them not to violate the law in par- theular. So farasI know they obey- ed me.”’ Citing proportionately large ¢€x- penses for advertising buttons, lith- ographs, advertising in newspapers and traveling expenses, the witness testified he freqwently asked where so Much money was going,but on be- ing told it was a close fight, and the State had to be systematically canvassed to elect him, he question- ed the matter no further. Continuing his testimony, Mr. Stepnenson, declared he had given for campaign purposes sums of money to men who afterwarce be- came candidates forthe Legislature, and some of them were elecied, put -he- was not aware of their candidacy when he gave them mon- ey. Farm Hands Scare amd Wages High in Rast Canotina. New Berne Special, 24, to eigh News and Observer. The farmers im this section are still complaining over the fact that although they are paying extraor- dinarily high prices: for help; they cannot secure enough hands to pick their cotton and get it out of the fields while the weather is good. Yesterday morning a gentleman who lives a few miles from New Berne and who owns a targe plan- tation, came to the city for the purpose of securing heip to get his cotton out of the field. After spending more than an hour at this task, he finally found one Hit- tle, tong, lanky darkey who said that he wanted to work and would go with ‘im. The gentleman said Ral- of idle negroes hanging around the stores in the northern and western part of the city, but all of them teid him it was too hot to work out in the fields.

In order that our people may gct some of the facts of the agricul- tural pfrogresa being made~ in North Carolina, and get them in readable form, I publsb the follow- ing, with comparisons and deduc- lions: . From the United States Year Book I find.that the acreage for cora in North Carolina in 1910 was 3,073,000 acres,the yield 57,- 139,200 bushels and the value $43,- 426,000, which is an average 76 cents per bushel. During the same year there were 1,624 acres worked under demon- stration methods with an average production of 43.4 bushels per acre. Now suppose the entire acreage had produced 43.4 bushels per acre, we should have had 133,- 324,848 bushels,which at the aver- age price as above would be worth $101,326,848. This would have shown a gain of 76,185,600 bust- els and a gain of $57,900,000 in the crop of 1910. We purchase Overy year $100,- 000,000 worth of supplies in the form of corn and wheat, hay and meat. The above gain in corn would go a long way toward paying the bill. Then the cotton crop shows am equal gain and other crops ac- cordingly, but for our purpose we will consider only corn. Take the gain in the corm crop as above, $57,900,000, and suppose the average tax rate for the severa. counties in the State is 75 cents on the $100 valuation, then the ad- ditional tax would be $434,250. At is costing less than $20,000. How does $20,000 look compared with $434,250? suppose for some time lo come we could get only half this amoynt—$217,125—that is still a neat sum. We have now 100 counties in the State. Divide $217,- 125 by 100 and we have $2,171.21 as the portion of the average coun- ty. Does that look good? Then re- member that the asking only $300 from the county. Suppose that is too large and we vide in half again We still have $1,085.62 in return for the 300 You may divide again and you are still on the safe side of he ledger Mecklenburg county has seen @ vision She has had demonstration priates $900, which has been sup- plemented by $300 from the gov- ernment, and now they have $1,- 200 to employ a county com mis- siopér of agriculture on full time ind pay him $100 a month salary.

Winston Sentinel, 2d | Mr. Clarence Prevette, aged jabout 24 years and unmarrted, shot himself with suicidal intent in the Central Hotel at North Wilkesboro last wight He was a live this morning,but the attend- ing physician gave out no hope for hig recovery According to the information eiv-| en the Sentinel by a citizen of | |North Wilkesboro, who was heré to-| day, Prevette walked into the hotel | | just before 12 o'clock last night. | |\He went to a room and shortly ithereafter a pistol shot rang out. |Guests rushed to the room and | found the young man lying on the jfloor in a dying condition. He had jused a Smith & Wesson revolver | ‘and the ball entered his left breast, | |mear the heart, and it went through | his lung and came out of the back. Despondency is given as the cause of the tragedy. Prevette had been drinking heavily during the Wilkes fair last week, but was | reported to have been sober-all day) |yesterday. For some time he has |been holding the position of sales- | man im the clothing department of ithe store of I. T. Prevette, a rela- jtive. His father died a few years ago, but his mother lives in Wilkes county. A meesage was received here this afternoon from North Wilkesboro tc the effect that ~Prevette had not made any statement since he was shet. He is still at the hotel and the opinion was expressed that he would not live through the day. Mooresville’s Bee Weill. Mooresville Special, ist, to Char- botte Observer. Late yesterday afternoon the Premises of Mr. B. W, Kerr, {n the heart of town, were lLterally covered with honey bees, a stray Swarm having decided to take uD with him. They began to settle on the corner of his well, and were there by the millions, as it appeared. Mr. Kerr got busy and }made a hive in which to catch them, but instead the bees sought the roof of the well shed. They were left there. This morning at quite an early hour Mr. Kerr went out to look for his bees, but they were gone. Not caring, but won- dering what became of the bees, he sought to draw a bucket of water. When the vessel reached the top he had a bucket full of bees, the lit- tle things having gone down into \the bucket and the well. He has been drawing bees and honey from the well at various times all dur- ing the day. ——— You are not experimenting on your- self when you take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a cold as that preparation has won its great reputation and exten- sive sale by its remarkable cures of colds, and can always be depended upon It is equally valuable for adults and ehfidren, and may be given to children with implicit confidence, as it contains no harmful drug Sold by all dealers.

Kk is promised that the fake shows, which for years made up a large part of the State fair, will be conspicuous by the absence, put as this promise is made every year it is probably womewhat like the abolition of haz~ ing in the colleges—takes time to carry it out. The Newton Wnterprise copied a paid ad. of “The Clansman” (a reader plainly marked ad.) from The Landmark and credited it to this paper. Of course the error ‘was unintentional but we cannot let the matter pass without a pro- test. The Landmark isn’t in the habit of giving flattering notices to whows—especially shows of the class of “The Clansman,” and a correc- tion by the Enterprise will be ap- preciated.

Attention is directed to the sug- gestion of Insurance OCommission- er Young, that next Monday, Octo- ber 9th, be observed as Fire Pre- vention Day. This is a most impor- tant matter and it is to be hoped that all property-owners will see to it that their premises are thoroughly dnepected on that day or at some convenient time in the future. The logs from fire is a very heavy tax and there is no doubtthat' the greater proportion of this loss could be averted by the exercise of a little care. When one observes the negligence,the great risk tak- en with neference to fires, especial- ly in business houses and factories; the wonder is that there are not more fires.

London Dispatch, 4th. The Italian fleet bombarded Trip- oli Tuesday and Wednesday, de stroying the forte and Vali’s pal- ece, but taking care to injure the town itself as little as possible. The Turkish gunners actively returned the fire, but were completely out- vanged. Information is incomplete an to whether the Turks suffered casualties, or whether Tripoli has surrendered. It is reported from Rome that ne- @otiations for the surrender of Tripoli will he entered into tomor- row. It is also uncertain whether any Italiane landed, but the first contingent of the expeditionary force has left Italy and, according 4 Malta reporte, the occupation of {poli will begin Thursday or Friday by the landing of contin- gents from the warships. The postoffice and the Italian consulate at Malta are accepting muils for Tripoli and the consul has @romised newspaper correspondenta that they will be allowed to lané in Tripoli Friday. While Italy is thus carrying out the programme of establishing herself in Tripoli, the Turkish government is in a helpless tangle.

Raleigh. Charlotte. and Southern; to. Extend From Rialeigh vo Ohar lott, ' Greensboro Daily News, 4th. A meeting was held in the parlor of the Guilford hotel yesterday afternoon by the original incorpo- rators of the Raleigh, Charlotte and Southern railroad, and the fi- nal transactions for turning over the franchise; which was secured at the last Legislature, to E. C. Dun- can, of Raleigh, were carried through. Mr. Duncan and his asso- ciates,whose names heve not been divulged, expect to get busy right away in making preperations for building the railroad, and will soon get into the field with the surveys. The price paid for the franchise was not made known. Mr. Duncan is very enthusiastic over the future protfotion and building of the road, and steps will be taken at once toward ee the proper capital for financing the proposition. It is estimated that from $7,000,000 te $10,000,000 will be necessary for putting the line into operation, and that from one to three years, will be requir- ed for the construction, The proposed road will be about 144 miles in length,and according tothe original plan will extend from Raleigh to Charlotte via Pittsboro, Astteboro and Albemarle. It seems to be the policy of Mr. Duncan to carry this plan out. The road will tap the old C. F. & Y. V. near Siler City, ang’ will pass through the manufacturing district of Randolph county, which will include Cedar Falls, Franklin- vill® and Ramseur. A branch line is prevosed to extend from some point near Pittsboro’ to Greensboro via Saxapahaw, Haw River and Bur lington, a distancce of between 50 and 60 miles. By reason of its connection with the Norfolk and Southern at Raleigh, the proposed road will give Charlotte direct con- nection with Norfolk. The Raleigh, Charlotte and Southern railroad will pase through a new section of unlimited resour- ces, especially of timber and water power. It will go near the great Whitney plant, which is rap- idly nearing completion. It will give to the counties through which it passes an east and west line through a territory for a radius of 40 miles each way. MATTERS OF NEWS. Dr. Geo. H.

Germans Restrict Goose Trade and Russians Oomplain, Westminster Gazette. Announcement has been made that the German authorities have suspend- ed the importation of live geese from Russia on the ground that there is a eonsiderable amount of disease preva- lent in the frontier districts of that eountry. Coming, as this prohibition does, anes ey prior to the period when i imports of live geese increase rapid! the question is serious alike to breed- ers in Russia, who will have large quantities of birds thrown on their hands; to German goose fatteners, as they will be unable to fill up their tally insufficient tomeet their require- ments, and to housewives in Germany, i - who will find the already high price i of what is an important article of food y advance still further and probably be F rohibitive. Russians state that there is no justification for this regulation, that it is a trade move in the interests ef German dealers to force dowm pees and as a measure of fiscal pro- ion to German breeders. Germany imports annually about 8,000,000 live geese, of which seven- ths come from Russia, where these birds are bred in vast numbers throughout the western and south- western: go@Wernments. They are ee from the raisers by traveling dealers, who drive them in huge flocks to the frontier stations, where they are entrained for despatch to Berlin and other cities. The cars used for this purpose are I built in four decks, each car holding about 1,200 birds. Special trains are run in the season, consisting of a doz- an > supply. As many as 50,000 geese have n known to arrive at Mager- viehof Market on a single day. Social Items From Ashe County. Jefferson Recorder. John Bare got kicked Sunday, what about this, Miss Fannie?

Merlin Dispatch, Sept. 30th. An inventive German has recently taken out a patent for a pistol for pro- i er death fora brief time. It is loaded with a bullet made of ebemical composition, to which is added enough powder to propel it. The bullet explodes and causes a thick cloud of vapor, which envelopes the victim, makes it impossible for him to see, renders his breathing dif- ficult, and he finally falls intoa swoon that lasts from ten minutes to a half hour. It is believed that the new pis- tol will be of importance for police- men, as they may beable toovercome rowdies or even unmanageable crowds effectively without killing anybody.

Washington Dispatch, 3a Im. a sudden succession of or- ders, an initial move in. the ex- , pected reorganization of the De- partment of Justice, Solicitor Geo. P. McCabe today was retired from the pure food and drug board. As- Boclate Chemist F. L. D. Dunlap, closely. identified with McCabe, was allowed leave of absence unti] the President’s return and Chemist Harvey W. Wiley left apparently in supreme command of the board. Dr, R.. B. Doolittie, of New York, was temporarily appointed to the board to succeed Mr. McCabe. ‘ These changes were announced by Secretary Wilson today following a conference with Dr. Wiley, who has been on a long vacation. They were deemed inevitable in view of the official and personal anta gonisn aired before a congressional com- mittee the past 6ummer and Dr. Wi- hey’s exoneration by President Taft after Attorney General Wickershiam, with views aligned with those of Secretary Wilson and Golicitor McCabe, had recommended Dr. Wi- ‘ey’s removal from office as head of the chemistry burean because of a technica) irregularity in appoint- ive methods, the responsibility for which he denied. The pure food and drug board is the agency which passes upon many important cases arising un- cer the enforcement of the pure foo* law. Dr. Wiley, on the other hand and Solicitor McCabe and Dr. Dunlap on the other, were the mem bers of the board. Dr. Wiley de- clared that he was usually outvot- ed and made a number of sen- Sational stateménts in the investi- gation of the controversy. Smarting under the frequent overruling of his views wherein he held food products deleterious to health, he told a congressiona) committee that he regarded his associate, Dr. Dunlap, as hie superior officer. Secretary Wilson’s brief announce- ments of the change stated that So- Heitor McCabe voluntarily resigned and that his resignation had been | by accepted. Dr. Dunlap was acting chairman of the board whew Dr. Wiley was absent from Washington. Whether Dr. Duniap wil) return to his du- ties on the board was not stated. His temporary withdrawal was at- tributed officially to the fact that he is to take the customary four weeks’ vacation; but Secretary Wilson stated that Dr. Dunlap would not return unti) after Pres- ident Taft had returned to Wash- ington. In place of Senator McCabe to Serve with Dr. Wiley on the board Secretary Wilson appointed Dr. Doolittle, long a member of the bureau of chemistry force, and now head of that bureau sub-station in New York. Dr. Wiley and Dr. Doo- little will constitute the mejority of the board for the immediate fu- ture, the latter’s appointment being necessary to give the board’s ac- tion lega) effect. The reasons for Solicitor Mc- Cabe’s resignation were not an- nounced. Secretary Wilson stated that Mr. McCabe's duties as so- licitor remain umchanged and under the general provisions of law he will continue to exercisé an important control over the enforcement of the Pure food law. “There will be no permanent changes in the department's meth- ods of enforcing the pure food law until Preaident Taft has had an op- portunity to take the matter up in Washington,” said Secretary Wil- son. “fhe appointment of Dr. Doo- iittle will simply continue the board's operations ag at present, up to the time when President Taft retu:as.”’ All officials of “the Agricu)- tura] Department connected with the enforcement of the pure food law were extremely reticent today to discuss the changes or what per- manent changes in, the department may be foreshadowed by it... Dr. Wiley would only say that the work of the board would continue @8 at present. Dr. Doolittle was appointed to the board, Secretary Wilson said, because he is one of ube leading experts in the bureau of chemiatry. Wm. E. Faison, Prominent Lodge Man, Dead. Raleigh Dispatch, 34. William E. Faison, prominent in secret order circles and most high- ly esteemed by allb who knew him, was found dead in his room inthe Shepherd building this afternoon. He had been tn failing health for a long while, but his friends felt for some weeks that he was re- covering. He has suffered from Better Grading and Cotton and a Better Washington Dispateyi ” An effort to secure higher prices for cotton by an improvement in the handling, grading and marketing of the crop is to be made by the govern- ment this year in co-operation with prominent cotton growers. The plan cotton raisers the full benefit of the increase in value that can be by the careful of the crop to correspond with the new government standards. These standards have heen in the hands of the cotton ex- changes for some time and are recog: oat as Official standards ofthe trade. Officials of the Agricultura] Depart- ment are planning tq take the crop from plantations selected as experi- ment points. The government ex- perts will use the most approved methods of grading, handling, baling and selling and will make accurate re- turns on each operation for the bene- fit of the cotton growers. Itis believ- ed that if the cotton raisers can be trained to grade the crop care- fully in its initial handling, its value can be greatly increased by putting the cotton into grades that comman higher prices Efforts are being made to induce farmers’ associations and local bodies to purchase sets of the government standards for use in preparing the cotton for the market. é price of the standards oe reduced from $35 to $30 for the benef of farmers’ associations and the de- partment is recommending that a ‘half series’’ be purchased which will give farmers a facility to grade their cotton It is believed cotton raisers of the South will benefit to the extent of millions of dollars if the improvements in handling and mark- eting methods can be rua general. ee ee Tumbie in Cotton Follows Bearish Report By Goevrnment. Cotton took another tumble | Monday, following two bearish re- ports by the government, and fu- tures went below ten cents. One report was that of bales ginned jtil! September 25, which is 3,663,- 066. The other was the report on condition, which was 71 on Sep- tember 25, and this was followed the prediction that the crop would be 13,868,337 bales. The largest increase in gin- nings during the period were re- ported from Texas, Georgia, Ala- bama, South Carolina and North Carolina. For the 21 working days since the last ginning report on Septem- ber 1 an average of 137,703 bales were ginned. This was 44,000 bales more a day than in 1910; 34,- 000 more than in 1909 and 1908: 81,000 more than in 1907 and 65,- 000 more than in 1906.

B. Boy and The barn, granary, double crib ahd chicken house on Mr. W. B. Gibson's: farm, near Loray, were burned tate Saturday afternoon. The dwelling caught fire but was seved. Near 200 bushels of wheat, about four bales of cotton in the seed, some rough feed, a4 straw cutter, ‘reapér, cultivator, grain separator and probably, other farming implements were burned with the buildings. Mr. Gibson lives in Statesville and the farm is rented to Mr. Jim Btikeleather, who has a sub-tenant, Mr. York; on the place. Mr. York's @mall boy got hold of some match- <s and fired a straw stack at the baron. From tbe burning straw Stack the flames were communicat- ed *o the barn and other buildings. The total fogs is estimated at $800 to $900. Messrs. Gibson, Stikeleather and York are all jo» ere—the two first named being the heaviest losers—but the propor- tionate amounts of the losses are not knuwn. Mr. Gibson had $25 insurance on the granary building and $50 on the contents of the granary. There was no other in- surance. Anaothes' Distillery Destroyed in Al exander Deputy Collector Davis and Dep- uty Sheriff Ward returned Satur- day, from another trip into the coun- ty of Alexander,’ whi they, with Sheriff Adams, of Alexander, have Deen making trouble for the block- aders. On this trip the officers found and destroyed a nicely equip- ped moonshine plant on the banks of Little river, about seven miles southeast of Hiddenite. Bevides the big copper still, a lot of provisions in the way of canned fruits and vegetables, meat, etc, wis (de- stroyed and about 1,200 gallons of | Mr. J. C.

There was no one at the @till when the officers arrived, but they, saw a fellow run off through the woods on the opposite side of the river. While seaching for the plant Mr. Davis suddenly came upom a fellow who was carrying a large Tock, possibly to be used in the con- @truction of a distillery furnace. When he saw the officer the man » ‘with the rock asked the officer his fame. “I'm Davia, from Statesville, Who are you?” said the officer. “That's for me to know and you to Tind out,” eaid the stranger, and with that he threw down the rock and dashed off through the bushes. This was the officer's first evidence that they were in the moonshiners’ territory and they were ngt long in locating the still. 2 The Federal Oourt in Splisbury’ This Time. : By order of Judge Boyd, the term of Federal Court which was to begin in Statesville gnext Mon- day, 16th, has been adjourned to Salisbury. Theterm at Salisbury ‘was to begin on the 23d, but by this order the terms are consolidated and wil) begin in Salisbury on the 16th. Jurors, witnesses, defendants and others summoned to appear at Statesville on the 16th are notified by an advertisement published in thie paper to appear at Salisbury, on that date. For the first time in many yeare —probably the first time since the establishment of the court here—Statesville will miss a term of the Federal Court. Some years ago, at the instance of Senator Overman, an act was passed requir- Ang the court to sit in Salisbury. There has been little business for the court there and few terms of importance have been held there. The consolidation of the States- ville and Salisbury terms at Salis bury is for convenience at this time and does not, of course, mean Whe abolition of the Statesville court. it probably, means, however, that the business of these courts will be consolidated alternately on occasion as a matter of conven- ience. Sthtesvilla Merchants to Pati New Ferry Boat om the River. The Statesville Merchants’ Asso- ciation has decided to put in a mew ferry boat at what is known as the Statesville ferry, on the Cataw- ba river, a few miles below Monbo, and Messrs. J. L. Sherrill, C. B. Morrison and J. A. Conner have deen appointed a committee to have charge of the matter. Years ago the Statesville merchants equipped @ ferry “boat at this place and it was kept in operation up to a year or two ago,when it was abandoned. ~ The merchants feel that they are losing byéiness becanse of the ab- sence of the ferry and for this rea- son they will ingtall a new one. Persons living on the Catawba side of the river in that vicinity now heve to drive four miles up the riv- er bo get across by ferry or go sev- eral miles down stream to get across by bridge, and consequently few of them now come to Statesville to do their trading. cheeseeeienia aeraerpamaeneeey (8 THE WORLD GROWING BETTER?

It is expected that the installe- tion of the machinery on the Third créek dredge boat will be com- pleted this week and that the boat May get under way the last of this week. The boat has attract- @d much attention and visitors from far and near are many and frequent. On Sundays, especiaHy Sunday afternoons, the folks from town and thé countryside who go to see the boat are so thick they, couldn't be stirred with a stick. Any minister who wants a large eongregation can find one at the Third creek dredge boat Sunday af- ternoons. The curiosity is natural, how- ever, for the boat is something new and novel for this locality and is worth seeing; and when it begins xcooping mud it will be more interesting.

LANDMARK STATESVILLE, N. C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1911. BROOKS’ COMET NOW VISIBLE: It is a New Discovery and Not d Regular Visitor—lInteresting Ina formation About Oomets, Correspondence of The Landmark. As most people now know, Com- et C, 1911, is now visible in the northwestern sky immediately af- ter dark and should present a real cometary appearance when the full moon gels out of the way. This celestial straggler is known as Brooks’ comet, taking. that name from its discoverer, Prof. W. R. Brooks, Smith Observatory, Geneva, N. Y., who first gaw it on July 20th. It should not be confused, however, with another one also known 4s Brooks’ comet, which was discovered, I believe, im 1893. The 1393 comet is a periodic one and Makes its regular visita to our system once im a little more than 7 years. But the present one is not a regular attendant upon our sun. It is only a strange visitor here—was never seen here before, ip its present orbit at least, and never will be again umless it is borne down in its wild rush through our part of the celestial vault by one of our planets. It is quite a large body, being a littie over 500,- 000 miles in diameter and having a tail over ten million miles_lIong. Could it pase as near to us as did Halley's last year, it would be a fair rival to that much-talked-of orb in cometary magnificence. It and the earth came to the “parting of the ways’ the first of this month, at which time it was about fifty million miles from us. It ts now rapidly receding from the earth, but as it is approaching the sun it is growing brighter and this in- crease in brilliancy more than com- pensates for what we lose by its increasing distance from ns, and hence for a few days, possibly till the last of this month, it will ap- pear more and more comet-like. The tail is inclined considerably oward the earth and is therefore foreshortened by perspective’ Nev- ertheless, it can be traced sever- al degrees with a good opera glass. ,5o far six-comets have been dis- covered this year, which is about the average number. for. a’ year. These bodies are much more numer- ous than one would suppose from the infrequency of their invisibili- ty to the unaided eye. Kepler be- lieved that they were as “numer- ous as the fishes in the sea’’; and Kleiber declared that not more than 2 or 3 per cent. of those that euter the solar system are -ev- er seen. By far the larger part of those that are discovered are very insigmificant affairs, being vis- ible only in the large telescopes. And yet one as smaii as the earth would hardly be seen unless it ap- proached very néar us. The tremendous velocity which most of these bodies attain, es- pecially near perihelion (nearest ap- proach to the sun), is simply. stag- gering to the imagination. The earth shuffles along right well as it makes 19 miles a second in its annual revolution but it is almost like an ox-cart by an expreas train when compared with the great com- et of 1882, which, at its perihelion, was moving at the splendid pace of 300 miles a second. Before com- ets can be seen they must be com- paratively close to us and their rapid movement soon carries them away and hence they are never visi- ble any great length of time. The present, one was picked up about as soon as it conld have been seen and will remain visible in the tele~ scopes possibly throughout Novem- ber and December. But only, southern observers will be able’ to see it during the latter month. W. F. ELLIOTT. Madison, N. C., Oct. 6, 1911. Officer Wins Race With Mob—In- dian Murders White Girl. Asheville Dispatch, 8th, to Char- lotte Observer. Hogs French, 21 years old, a Cherokee Indian living on the Birdtown reservation, Swain county, was safely locked in the county jail here tonight, ‘ charged with the murder of Ethel Shuler, the 14-year-old daughter of a Bird~ town farmer, after having attempted to crimfnally assault ber. His ar~ rival here was effected after an exciting escape from a mob of one hundred men bent on lynching the prisoner. The body of the dead girl was found Friday in the woods near the town with her throat cut and no trace of her assailant wae found until this morning, when Deputy Sheriff Beck, of Swain county, ar- rested French at a point seven miles from Sylvia. The arrest was made on the strength of blood stained finger-prints on the Indian’s i The news of French's capture spread quickly to the neighboring tcwns and a mob of men followed the deputy sheriff to Waynesville, where French was lodged in jail, As the mob continued to grow, the sheriff called out the militia , and the crowd wds dispersed. ‘Beck then tdok his prisoner through the back door of the jail to a waiting automobile. At Clyde, 20 miles from this city, the deputy sherif# bearded an Asheville-bound train, arriving here at 6.30 tonight. At & o'clock tonight the Indian made a partial confession, but would not |give full details of the crime. Mr. Jno. M. Gonnelly, of Dallas, texas, is visiting relatives § and friends here. ’ CONTRACT FOR ROAD WORK. Equipment For Two Road Foroud Sent to South Iredell.

It was as the prospective Republican eandidate for the presidency in 1912 that Mr. Price presented Mr Taft and after describing that he would be triumphantly elected and that November next year would find the ‘‘Democracy of Utah in its customery place, deep down in the ‘slough of despond,’”’ he introduced the Chief Magistrate of the nation as ‘Wiliam Howard Taft, of Ohio.” | “I am bere,” said the President, emphasizing each word distinct- ‘ly, ‘as President of the United States.’ Yicre was a lusty cheer from the crowd, which was follow- ed by « laugh when Mr. Taft hu- urorously closed the incident by say- ing “My friend, the president of the Youn.

When United States Senator Isaac Stephenson, of Wisconsin, found that his expenses for nomina- tlon-at the primaries in 1908 were running so high that the item for beer and cigars alone amounted to $30,000 and the aggregate was fast approaching the final total of $107,793, he remonstrated and managers, “y want to win the nomination, but I don't wart to buy it.” This was part of the testimony Given at Milwaukee before the United States Senate committee, which is investigating charges that bribery and corruption contrib+ uted to Senator Stephenson's election. In reply to, his complaint, Sen- ator Stephenson was told that the three other Republican candidates for the primary. nomination—former Congressman Samuel A. Cook, who Spent $42,203; former State Sena- tor William H. Hatton, who spent 1 $30,002, and Francis R. McGovern, hnuw Governor of Wisconsin, whio spent $11,063—-were making a hard \fight, the expenses finally aggre- gating $83,268. This, together with Senator Stephenson’s expenses, made a total for the Republican seo atorial campaign that year of $191,- 061.

His candidacy has been formally announced by the Asheville Citizen. There is a feel- ing among many people who did mot support Mr. Craig in 1908 that he is entitled to the nomination, for which he will apparently have @ strong advantage over any other candidate. It cannot be expected, however, that the nomination will go to him by common con , Bee ing that Lieut. Gov. Newland ig an avowed candidate and will of course have strong following, while there may, be others. The friends of Mr. Qraig, therefore, should not take it for granted that his nomination will come as a matter of course.

Italy Occupies Tripoli and Turkey Progests A dispatch from’ Tripoli says Italian government has been set up in Tripol. The capital, abandoned | by Turkish troops, is completely, in | the hands of the Italians, who at | the solicitation of the foreign con- | Sulates have guaranteed the safety of foreign residents. After the ItaNans had occupied Sultania fortress, chiefs of the Arab tribes went aboard the Italian flag- ship and denoting their submirsion, begged that bombardment of the chy cease. During the bombard- men little damage was done to propérty but Tripolitian for‘s and the Governor’s mansion were destroyied. It is understood that mediation will not be acceptable before the city has been occupied by the expe- dition frem Itchy. Germany in the méantime is endeavoring to restrain Turkey, from taking any measures that might lessen the hope of suc- cessful meditation.

The telegram says the occupation of Tripoli ie unjusti- fied and that Italy is unworthy of a place among the great powers, It asks whether western civilization has considered the effect upon ‘he eastern mind of Italy's brigandage. The meeting also sent the following | message to King Geoge of England: | ‘How can a power like England, ruling between 80,000,000 and 90,- 000,000 of Moslems, regard with jeomplaigant silence the declaration {of war against the Ottoman nation | and the blockade of Tripo!s.

Harper, who was the sexton of the church, heard the bel) ring, was indignant that his prerogative should be usurpedand when he put in appearance he made some strong remarks to the sister who rang the bell, The result was a fight with Tom Barnes, the man present, and Barnes clubbed Harper to death. wound had been inflicted in the other marks upom the body. When discovered the body was lying close to the tracks, the head almost up- on the cross-thes. Tue Post says: /“Owen, who was termed a crack pool shot and who had been connected for a num- ber: of years with various pool rooms in this city, which was his home, boarded west-~bound passen- company with another man, a stranger in the city, and a woman, telling his friends he was going to Asheville. The train was in charge of Captein B. E Sum- ner and when the ticket-ta- ker came around Owen had Ao atcket. He wanted the woman, so it is reported, to pay his fare and she refused. He was then told that he would have to leave the train when it reached Barber, When this point was reached Capt. Summer says the man got off and that he (Sumner) looked back as his train pulled out and saw Ow- en walking up the track toward Cleveland. ‘That is the last seen: of him, so far as known, until he was found dead two miles or more this side of where he got off of No. 35. “His pockets were torn open uBd nothing of value was found on his person, although he told. the ticket-taker that he had only $1.10: A slip of paper bearing the name of the woman who left’ with the party was found in his pocket. Some are of the opinion that Ow- en was killed for the purpose of robbery. and placed beside the track. Others think he boarded a freight train to ride back to Salis- bury and fell from it while in mo- tion.” An inquest was held and the jury found that deceased came to his death by falling, jumping or being pushed from a train. The Post says Owen was a clever, big- hearted boy. His family formerly lived in Statesville. The Mieting at Union Grove—Mrs. IN Hunt's Birthday. Cofréapondence of The Landmark.

Hutchins, ali young white men, were at the blacksmith shop of Jas. Church, in Olin township, when the tragedy occurred and according to those present the circumstances were about as follows: Summers and another one of the crowd were pulling “square heel’ when one accused the oth- er of unfairness in the game and @ quarrel followed. Ruasell ‘‘butted In,” it is eaid, and sided against Summers and he and Summers be- gan cursing each other. Suddenly Summers seized a small piece of iron pipe lying near by and about the samme time Russel) snatched up a piece of an old wagon tongue. Be- fore the other members of the party hardly reali¢ed what was taking place, Russel] struck Sum- mére such a terrific blow on the head that he fell to the ground un- conscious, with his skull badly crushed. As his victim fell Rus- sell made the remark quoted above and then went off toward the home of Mr. Church. Some of his com- paciongs caHed to Mr. Church to catch him, whereupon Russell changed his course and ran into the woods. Young Summers was picked up by his companions and carried into the home of Mr. Church and a hurry summons was sent to Dr.PC. Jur- ney, at Turnersburg. The doctor &rrived within a reasonable time, and after examining Summers stat- ed that he was fatally injured. The news of the tragedy was then spread throughout the community. and Sheriff Deaton was notified The sheriff could not leave town on account of the illness of Mrs. Deaton, but he immediately sent Deputy Sheriff Ward *:to Olin and notified by ‘phone ali the officers and leading citizens of north Ire- deli that he would pay a reward for the arrest of Russell, and from that time on searching parties were active. ~ Summers died Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock without regaining con- @clousness and as soon as news of his death reached Sheriff Deaton the latter notified the searching parties that the amount of reward for Russell's arrest would be $50. The sheriff also notified officers in the surrounding counties and sent descriptions of Russell. Russell ie about five feet and ten inches in height, weighs about 140 pounds, has light hair and blue eyes, and one front tooth is missing. He was wearing blue ov- eralls, white sweater, black hat and tan shoes when he left scene of the tragedy. Russell has lived in north Ire- Gell off and on for some years -¢.d ie said to be considered a rough character by those who know him. He only recently returned to north Iredell from Virginia, and was working at Church’s saw mill. His mother and sister live in north Iredell and another sister lives at Martinsville, Va. June Summers was a son of Mr. Gus Summers, who lives on Mr. T. J, Allison's place, in Olin town- ehip. Hisbody was removed to his home Wednesday and the funeral service and interment took place yes- terday at South River church. Made About the Straw Stack Fire, in mentioning recently the. burn- ing of a straw stack in Union Grove township, on account of which Tom Rupard was arrested and as a result Rupard and Harris G. Gar- ris were bound to court in bonds of 350 each, it was stated that the straw stack belonged to Rupand but ‘was on the lands of Garris. Mr. Garris tells The Landmark that a Btack of straw and a pen of chaff were bummed; that both were on hie premises and all belonged to him except the straw from a»bushel anda halfof rye anda small quan- tity of chaff, which belonged to Ru- pard and had been placed with Garrie’ straw and chaff. Mr. Gar- ris alleges that the fite was set by Rupard but admits that he did- n’t see him set it. Recital at; the Ooliege Evening.

The entire pulpit and chencel waa covered with white and banked with palma, ferns and oth- er potted plants, while ivy was craped here and there and on each side of the pulpit stood a beautiful crystal candelabra. The marriage guests gathered early and were entertained with a pleasing musical programme by Mr. William P. Bell,organist, and Miss Adalaide Porter, of Biltmore, vocal- ist. Mr.Bell played Ronde d’Amour by Niccolo van Westerhout, The Answer by, Wolstenholme and The Bridal Train by, Moore, and Miss Porter sang ‘‘Oh,PerfectLove” and “When Shadows Gather.” The brid- al party entered to the Lohengrin wedding march, coming from the center door in couples and separat- ing, passed down the _ center- aisles and crossed in front of the altar before taking their posi- tion.

A Contempt Case That Goés On, The District of Columbia Supreme Court has vacated its judgment in the original Bucks Stove and Range injunction case contempt proceed- ‘ngs against President Gompers, Vice President Mistchell and Secre- tary Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor, in accordance ith the decision of the Supreme ourt of the United States hand- down last May. The Supreme Court held that the jail sentences against the labor leaders were iMegal because the defendants were found guilty. of criminal contempt in a civil case. This decision, however, did not bar the District court from inetituting criminal contempt proceedings ~-on its own motion, and this was Promptly done by Justice Wright.

Relying on the authorities cited by Justice Harlan and Sen- ater Nelson, Mr. Bryan has assert- ed and asserts again that it will be found practically imposaible to convict a trust magnate in a crimi- na} court. ' “Does the President believe a crimina}) conviction possible? If so why does he hesitate to prosecute the officials of the Standard oil and tobacco comparies? “Mr. Bryan challenged him to make public the written and verbal recommendations upon which he appointed Justice White to the po- sition of tice Harlan. Did he know they stood on the trust question, or was it purely accidental that all of his appointees took the trust side of the question?” ES DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by. local applications, as they can- ed that a student at the Umniversi- ty, from Thomasville, had beer shot. While there were no details | ef the incident at the time this |tney can be mounted, and used in |of paper suggested probably again abolishing hazing at the University, and the following paragraph from the Chatham Rec- ord shows the guess was correct: The student at our Sgate Univer- sity, who recehtly was ‘shot in the leg while trying to haze a fresh- man, got just what he deserved and it is a pity that all the cow- ards who band together in brutal- ly hazing a freshman could not get the same punishment. The author- ities at the University are to be commended for promptly expelling the students who were caught haz- ing, and it is to be hoped that their fate may deter others from indujsing in such brutal sport. The following extracts are from the address of President Taft at Pocatello, Idaho: The prosecutions must go on. I: ig not for te executive to say he can withhold criminal prosecutions or any 4k.rd of prosecutions jus: to Lelp bapsiness. Business must reform itself, and those e€xe.utive duties must be performed under the oath of office that I took and under the oath that those under me took.

The cotton Dill faiied but cotton went down. Why ‘s it the failure of the cotton Dill to pass by the President did- n’t operate like the failure of the Canadian pact? It looks like the game principle, and if the Western farmers are getting higher prices for the‘r grain, the Southern farm- ers ought to be getting higher Prices for their cotton. But they are not.—Raleigh Times. In The Landmark's view neither of these positions is correct, but one is as logical as the other. He who would contend thiat the de- feat of reciprocity in Oanada means a higher price for American grain, might with propriety be ask- ‘ed to explain why cotton went down after the failure of the cotton vision bil!

Take Hall's Family Pills for consti- patior Must Show Milearm Book on De- mand. Railroad travelers who buy mile- jage books must not only exchange | mileage for a ticket before boand- ing a traim, but they are aleo |/required, on demand of the oon- ductor, to show him the mileage book. Few people, probably, know |of the latter requirement, and it ;se€Ms an unnecessary one, but it |\was held to be proper by Judge |W. J. Adams, in Mecklenburg Su- |}perior Court this week. | The ruling of Judge Adams was in ‘the case of E. L. Mason, of |Charlotte, who had sued the Sea- board Air Line road for $10,000 damages. Mason had mileage and at the Charlotte station made the usual exchange. When the conduc- tor took up his ticket he asked Ma- son to ghow his mileage book. Ma- son complied but remarked that he would not do so-again. On the | return trip the conductor again asked that”the mileage be exhibit- ed, explaining that i was required by the railroad regulations.

Tried te Save His Trees By Trans Planting, But the School Chiktren Pulled Them and to Finish Them a Hors; Was Hitched to Them—A Monument of Patience, To the Editor of The Landmark: You know that our city fathers are now and have been grading our streets for some time past and while there have been numerous kicks from some quarters I am not one of the kickers, for I believe im street improvement. This grad- ing business has caused me some little trouble, like a great many others, and the nature of my troubles follow. In some {nstan- ces handsome trees stoog right jam on the right of way; in oth- er instances they escaped by a mar- row margin. Ina great many places this margin is so close that fur- ther development of the tree is impossible. Where the trees are young (t is possible to save them by transplunting. 1 had four small trees that were left with scaroeely enough terra firma to stand alone on, so I decided to try. transplant- ing. After searching diligently for a week or ten days, I finally, found a colored man willing to undertake the job. These poor little trees were carefully uprooted, tenderly haudled and affectionately set out again. About the time my hopes began to brighten two or three of the school children, those sweet Iitiiendispensers of hope and joy, came tripping along. Of course they saw the trees and immediate- ly decided that a massage of some sort might be beneficial, so they fave a couple of the trees the “cirel> the pole’’ treatment. That was all right, for they evi- dently thought that was what was ne€ded, and it ism’t right to centre sure a child, or grown person, eith- er, when they do the best they know how. While thinking over the possible future career of these “Innocents Abroad,” I looked up and saw a gentleman in a new buggy, driv- ing a high-stepping horse that showed a good deal of the white of his ¢yes as he glanced about, coming cCown the pike. This man had bus.nress with a party at this point which necessitated his leavy-~ ing his horse and buggy for a few minutes I knew, and he knew, for I heard him when he thought it, that it wouldn’t do to leave horgBe tied to nothing strong- than thin air.

Another serious charge has been |preferred by the Unitede States | government against Dr. George Wil- kins, of Courtney, Yadkin county, the prominent citizen of that sec- tiom who was arrested some time ago by Deputy Marshal Carroll, of this city, wpon a warrant alleging iMicit distilling, removing, conceal- ing and selling blockade liquors. This latest charge brought by the gdévernment against - Dr. Wilkins ig to the effect that he has been threatening and trying to intim{- date government witnesses against himself and Bud and Haze Wooten, to prevent these witnéespes from at- tending Federal Coyrt: in Greensbor<« and giving testimony. In the Unit- eed States court at Charlotte the first of this week the Fdeeral grand jury found a bill of indict- ment against Dr. Wilkins on this charge and the new case has been transferred to Greensboro and will be heard at the December term of court, along with the other case, The information concerning this bill of indictment was secured here from a witness in the case who appeared before the grand jury against both Dr. Wilkims and Mr. D. I. Reavis in the Charlotte court this week. This witness stated that the evidence before the grand jury was that Dr. Wilkins had tried to intimidate Mesers. Frank and James Garner, citizens who live near Courtney, and who had been summoned to appear as witnesses for the goverument in Greensboro in December. The bill of indictment alleges that Dr. Wil- kins sent the Garners word on Mon- day,August 7,by one Bedford Woot- en,that if they did not leave the State by 1 o’clock, August 8, he would have them put in the peni- tentiary, and would break them up, Also it is learned from a wit-’ ness who attended the court at Charlotte that a bill of indictment wae found against Mr. D. I. Reavy- is, a prominent citizen of Courtney and of Yadkin county, alleging il- Mieit distilling, removing and con- cealing blockade liquors. Mr. Reav- is ig already under bond to appear before the United States commis, slomer at Yadkinvilie this month on, the charge of concealing block ade liquors. But the evidencejt is learned, before the grand jury at Charlotte, was to the effect that during the broad open daylight fruits from the large orchards owned by Mr! Reavia and Dr. Wilkins werd ground up in the back yard of MrJ/ Reavis, presumably for the purpoad of manufacturing vinegar. At night the maahed fruit would disappear and it will be the contention of the government that this frutt was carried to the woods not far oe where brandy was manufac- | Also it is learned that two of the pupils of the Courtney High School, young men, testified that they found a barrel or two of whis- | key or brandy in the store room ;Ownéd by Mr. Reavis, and that jthey drark some of the liquor. Ev4 {idence has aiso been produced |)showing that some whiskey or bran-+ | dy was found in the barn on the farm previously vacated by Dr. Wil- |kins, and that this barn contained | goats belonging to the doctor. When a young man Dr. Wilkins }went to Texas from Yadkin county. lA few years ago he returned to | Yadkin, purchased several) hun- dred acres of land near Courtney, jerected a handsome homeand plant- ed au ¢€xtensive orchard, including |}eeveral thousand pear treean The | Journal hears that it was from | the frujt of these trees the block- nee brandy is alleged to have been }made and it is neported that some of the brandy was sold in Winston under the guise of a half bushel of pears, each package containing a gallon, which sold for $3. The dis jtillery at which the brandy is al- leged to have been mansifactured was found last spring on the big farm of Dr. Wilkins. But when the officers made investigation it was found that the doctor had sold the farm. No arrest was made at that time as there was no evidence against Dr. Wilkins, save the fact ,that the illicit establishment was |found on what was supposed to be his plantation. The doctor already |had moved into the village of Court- jneyand hence claimed notto be in jany way in possession of the land on which the distillery was found. |Later, however, an arrest was |made, the officers claiming to have |evidence to Mink Dr. Wilkina with |the optration of the distillery. | Mr. R. V. Brawley, real estate jdealer of Statesville, bought the Dr. Wilkins farm in Yadkin in Feb, ruary, 1910, and still owns the farm. Mr. Brawley lives in States, ville and hence has no personal knowledge of what goes on on his Yadkin farm. The alleged brandy- making was probably prior to the sale of the farm.

Fine Exhibits at Winston and | Ashieville—None Better Than Ire-| dell Oould Show and Iredell) Should Have a Fair. | Correspondence of The Landmark. Last week I was at the Piedmont | fair at Winston and also at a/ small fair at Thomasville. The Winston fair was good. The ex-| hibit of farm products was not what) it would have been had the season | good, but it was surpris- | ing thet it was so good. Everything | that the farmers produce in that section was exhibited and the specimens were fine except in the matter of fruits. Thie was scanty | and of inferior quality. The live} stock department was well \represent- ed and fairly complete with the dif- ferent types oor breeds. There were a number of horses and mules, and especially colts, on exhibition. The poultry show was large and represented about every type of bird ever seen in this section. . The hog show, too, was-a eredit to the county. The attendance was large ‘amd the management evidently suc- ceeded well financially. | At Asheville this week the weather is so bad, 80 far, that the crowd is small. On account of the | downpour of rain today the parade was continued until tomorrow; but the fair was opened ali the same. There is now on exhtbition here every product of the mountain sec- tion. The drought was not so se vere here and crops are fairly good. The man who does not believe western North Carolina can grow cor", grasa, wheat, rye, pump kins, squashes, cabbages and al- most anything else, let him come to the faar and look around. There are hogs, cattle and chickens in abundance and the horse and mule show 18 very good. The ladies have done themselves proud. They have all sorts of jellies, jdims, preserves and canned goods, as well as an unusual display of their handiwork. | There is a splendid display of native woods gotten up ‘by the young son of Mr. R. P. Hayes, who is a son of ex-President Hayes. The fruit exhibit is very fine. It is worth a trip to Asheville just to see this alone, a> d just to think we Statesville folks eat apples from New York and all this fruit |p at our very doors! The machinery exhibit is about what is usually seem at the fairs, and the midway attractions are con-| 6picuous for their absence. hen I see these fairs and see | the different exhibits, no better than our Iredell people have, 1 won- der why it is that our people take _ ho more pride in what they have, | and care so little ut adwertising | to the world what the best county | in the State is capable of doing. I | have seen almost every section of the State and none of them can produce better crops than we can, |! and our own folks do not know it. | 1 see in The Landmark that the; Live Stock Association is going | to hold a fair next year. I hope, this is so, and that it will suc- ceed better than the one last year. | E. 8. MILLSAPS. | Asheville, Oct. 10.

Mr. Ben Newland Pope, of New- tom, and Miss Carrie Deal, of Gran- ite Falls, Caldwell county, met in Statesville Saturday and were mar- ried, the ceremony being performed by Justice Turner in the commis- sioners’ room at the court house. Miss Deal, a pretty young woman of 19 years, had been visiting in Mooresville and came to Statesville Saturday morning on the 9.50 train from Charlotte. Mr. Pope arrived on No. 36 from the west and hur- ried from the trairm to the pas- senger station, where he found his sweetheart awaiting him in accord- ance with her promise. The young couple enlisted the aid of an ac- quaintance and lost no time in driv- ing to the court house, where the necessary license was secured and the ceremony promptly performed. They remained in Statesville until Saturday afternoon, going from here to Newton. They expect to make their home in Hickory. Mr. Pope, is a son of Mr: J. W. Pope, of Newton, and a nephew of Mr. P. S. Pope, of Statesville. He hsa a position as fireman on the Carolina and Northwestern railroad. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Plmore Deal, of Granite Fells. The marriage had every appearance of a runaway affair, but when in- terrogated on this point by The Landmark reporter the .groom’s simple reply was: ‘MNot exactly.” Russell Still at Large.

Washington Dispatch. A saving, estimated at $1,000,000 annually, to the pensioners of the United States and eventually about $180,000 a year to the government, is contemplated by a simpHfied plan for the payment of pensions without vouchers, which Commis- sioner of Pensions J. L. Davenport submitted to the Secretary of the {nterigr in his annual report. Dur- ing the year $157,325,160 was paid a® pénsions, a decrease of $3,498,- 154 from last year, bringing up tht total amount paid in pensions since the foundgtion of the government to, $4,230/381,730. There were 55,- 185 names dropped from~the rolls and 26,200 added, leaving a net loss of 28,985 pensioners and mak- ing the total number at the end of the year 892,098, the smallest since 1895. Methods of economy re- sulted ima decrease of the cost of administration by $140,346 to $2,- 617,127, the lowest since 1882. Commissioner Davenport’s plan, which was devised at the request of Congress and which will require the passage of a law by that body to carry it into effect, would great- ly simplify the methods of paying pensions, result in the mailing of pension checks on the date upon which the pension falls due, elimi- uate the cost to the pensioners in a large majority of cases of the execution of pension vouchers, which varies from $1 to $3 yearly; de crease to a considerable extent the work in drawing and mailing of pen- sioh checks and eliminate the send- ing of 4,000,000 letters yearly through the maile, saving about $80,000 thereby. The plan contemplates payment direct by checks, mailed to. the last address of the pensioner. Co- operation from the Postoffice De- partmént in delivering the letters containing the checks would be re- quired Besides the ent on the back of these checks, the government would require, under this plan, certification by two wit- nesses as to the identity of the person obtaining the money. Out of a total of 43,181 pension- ers seen and questioned only 26 cases of improper pensioning were revealed. Five widows’ names were dropped from the roll, one on the ground that she was not the legtl widow of a soldier. The names of two invalid pensioners were dropped because it was shown that they deserted from former of | ed service and received bounties for re- enlistment. Two persons were ar- rested on charges of being bogus special examiners and two others were reported as wanted. The commissioner said he believed the check system would put an end to any fraud that may now exist. The number of soldiers and sail- ors on the pension roll at the close of the fiscal year was 570,050; de- pendents and widows, 321,642, and army nurses, 406. There were 529,- 884 survivors of the civil war, 35,- 243 having died during the year. It is believed, that only about 25 per cent. of the estimated 2,213,- 365 individuals in the Unitd States service during the civil warare now ‘iving, the death rate of the sur- vivors being now slightly in excess of 6 per cent. yearly. The average age of survivors is now about 70 years. During the year the last pension- er of the Revolutionary war died. She was Mrs. Phoebe M. Palmeter, pensioned by a special act of Con- gress as the daughter of Jonathan Wooley,who served in a NewHamp- shire company. She died at Brook- field, N.

OMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS It is a rule of the legal profes gion thatone lawyer will not pros ecute.another lawyer. Last week gt Pilot Mountain one lawyer killed another and under the circumstance jt is reasonable to assume that there will be an exception to the rule s s . Justice Walker, of the State Su- preme Court, must be the owner of several dogs and worthless dogs at that; or else he has a sentimental wegard for the dog without knowl- edge of the true character of the worthless canine that prowls about the country. If the dog is as pop- ular as the North Carolina politic eians seem to think he is—which he isn’t—Justice Walker could, if he chose to enter the race, defeat all the candidates for the United States Senate, “hands down,” by simply taking his brief for the dog fn State vs. Smith as his plat- form. At Mexico, Mo., Dr. F. M. Shoush, whe it seems is both preacher and doctor, attended Mrs. Susan Parks in her last illness, in his capacity as physician. When his patient died Shoush, in his capaci- ty an preacher, conducted the fu- meral service, and in rendering 4 bill for medica] service he put in an ftem of $10 for conducting the fu- neral. The administrator refused to pay for the funeral, suit was brought and the jury decided @igainst the preacher-doctor. Quite right. It is bad enough to charge | for a funeral at any time, but when | a doctor turns preacher and tries | to work the game both ways, he deserves to be called down. s s The decision of that newspaper subscription case against the Char- lotte Observer in Anson Supérior Court will give joy to the eevee per deadbeats, and this at omre it does not mean that the defendant in that case is of that class, for ac- cording to his showing, which the jury accepted, he deserved to win. A newspaper should not be continu- ed to a subscriber unless it is or- dered, but if it is continued and the subscriber takes it out of the office and reads it, he is liable, for by his act he accepts the pa- perthesame asif he had actually given the order for its continuance. If a paper is continued when the | } SUPREME OOURT WITH DOG, said aepein. Can't Be Killed Because of PSs Obaructer But Only in Pro- tection of Person or Property ~—Justice Walker's Brief For the Canine, The Supreme Court handed down last week an interesting opinion con cerning the rights of the dog. The opinion was written by JusticeWalk- er in the case ofState ve.Smith and is thus reported by the Raleigh News and Observer: Smith was indicted for killing a dog. This particular dog was prowling along the road and Mr. Smith had some turkeys in his yard. An impassable fence and closed gate separated the two. How-~ ever, the dog had an unsavory rep- utation and Mr. Smith shot him. He was indicted and. convicted un- der Revisal section 3299, which conviction is sustained by, the Su- preme Court. Justice Walker writes a full opinion of the law as to dogs and reviews the former cpinions by the Mapreme Court of this State on the subject. Among other things, he states that a dog is a subject of propertya domesti- cated animal, and not mefely fe- rae naturae, and that a civil ac-~- tion may be maintained for damage caused by an injury to him, though he may have been guilty of some youthful indiscretions or harmless transgressions. ‘But it is earnest- ly and gravely argued that a dog is an animal of such low degree— not pedigree—that he is not en- titled to the full proecttion of the law, but may be outlawed, if he has a bad reputation, or at least, a habit of_killing fowls, geo that if he lurks near where Prey are to be found, although they are pro- tected by a sufficient fence or other barrier against his predatory and ferocious disposition, he may, be killed, even if he is not en- gaged in the actual attempt to Slay and devour his supposed prey, 01 the danger of his doing so is Not »s0 imminent or immediately threatening that a prudent and Teasonable man would be led to be Neve that his property is in jeop- ardy. We cannot give our assent to this principle. Admit such a Tight and the peace and good order of society would be seriously endan- gered and could not well be pre- served, for the exercise of such a right would excite the most angry passions and resentment of the peace and guiet of the commu- nity So thought Judge Pearson in Morse vs. Nixon, 51 N. C. * * * The right to slay him cannot be justified erely by the baseness of his natu, but it is founded upon the natural right to protect person and property. Our statute, Revisal section 3299, makes it criminal to wilfully or cruelly; kill or injure any useful animal. The defendant is guilty at common law and surely under the statute, if he unjustifia- bly killed the dog.* * * The fact that the dog had visited the prem- ises before, if it had been proven, would not justify the defendant's act ir laying him. It is not the wubscription expires and the sub- wcriber does not want it, all he has to do is to put it back in the office—or rather, refuse to take it out. The postmaster is provided | with a card to notify the publisher, and a publisher who refuses to discontinue a paper when. notified the subscriber does not want it, | wands to lose and deserves to lose. | No one has a right to force a cus | tomer to take goods he doesn’t want. Newspapers make a great mistake to continuea paper indefinitely whet) the subscriber refuses to pay, even | ff he doesn’t order it stopped. Such | a policy is not business. The | strictly eazh gystem is best. Few of us can have that system entirely but all of us can limit credit—ex- tend it only when the account is delieved to be good and then only for a-short time. But there are Many people who will get in debt to a paper and when payment is urged ‘will contend that they did- m’t order the paper coutinued, or that they ordered it stopped, neith- er statement being true but only a subterfuge to evade the payment of an honest debt. This class will feel encouraged by the Anson case, all of which should make the news- Papers adhere more closely to the ‘anh system. General Electric Oompany Ordered to Dissolve.

Mr. Davis—Automobile Trip. Knockabout is indebted to Prof. W. R. Thompson, of Concord, for a “good one” on a railroad con- datctor and his colored porter. The incident happened on a read not & great ways off. ; The porter was trying to darry out the instructions of authorities higher up to warn all passengers getting off not to forget their par- cels and packages. But “‘don’t for- get your parsonages and packages” was the way the porter was hand- ing it out. The conductor called his attention to the error and the porter got it right until some pas sengers took a hand. Said passen- gers tuck the porter to one side aud infommed him in this manner: ‘Now, Porter, you are an educat- €d man and have had advantages that the conductor hasn’t had *Parsonazes and packages’ is the correct thing and you ought to stick to it and not have passengers laugh- ing at you.” Following the advice of the paé- sengers the porter went back to his old wav—parsonages and pack- ages." Lhe conductor reprimanded him aga.n but the porter would not yield He stood by what the passengers had doped him The conductor fired him from the job. “That's foe me to know you to find out.” These are the terms an Alex~ ander blockader passed out to Dep- uty Collector Davis the other day. Mr. Davis, Deputy Sheriff Ward, of Iredell, and Sheriff Adams, of Alexander county, were down near thé mouth of Little river and Big Catawba river and had located a distillery of 75-gallon capacity, 10 fermenters and 1,200 gallons of beer. In a quiet moment one of the operators of the plant hove in sight. He was carrying a bucket on his arm. Seeing Mr. Davis he asked: ‘“‘Who are you?” “I am all right, replied Mr. Davis, and “who are you?” asked Mr. Davis. “That's for me to know and you to find out,”’ replied the blockader, and with this he dropped his puck- et and beat it into the tall timber “That's for me to know and you to find out” is a common expres sion among the younger fellows down in Providenee, Mecklenburg county They use it instead _ of telling any one that it is none of their business, or es an evasive an- swer, ‘What's it to you; you are no ow! and your toes won't straddle no limb,” is another expression used to call down one who tried to be. wiser than the user of the term was willing to give him credit for. and Four parties in as many automo biles went from Hickory to Char- Is complete and I am prepared to do any kind of repair work.

The brand was put up in 6-pound,!2-pound and 18-pound boxes, containing, respec- tively, 20, 40 and 60 plugs, each plug having imprints for five cuts, this making the number of cuts in a 6-pound box, 100; in a 12-pound \box, 200, and in an 18-pound box, 360. These cuts were to be sep- arated, that they might be sold by the retailer, but the lines of separa- tion were superimposed upon the plugs in the factory.

McCul-~ |lers to compel them to recognize him | as coumty physician and Judge R. B | Peebles will hear the case in cham- bers October 23. The case involves the test of the right of the State Board of Health to appoint a county physician for any county and fix his compensa- tion when, for any reason, the coun- ty commissioners and the county board of health fail to act. A die agreement blocked the election of a county physician inWake andSec- retary W. S. Rankin, of the State board, designated Dr. McCullers at a salary of $2,300, at the instance of the county board of health. The county commissioners refuse to recognize Dr. McCullers or pro- vide for the payment of his salary, which the board subsequently chang- ed to a fee basis. The case is to be hard fought right through the Supreme Court, the county commits- sioners’ insisting that the commis- sioners have complete control of such county affairs.

Hemphill, who will Become the editor of the Char- fotte Observer about the first of mext month, has for years, as edit- @r of the Charleston News and Cou- rier and later as editor of the Rich- mond Times-Dispatch, ridiculed the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde- pendence, which he calls the Mecklenburg Myth. He has also wtrenuously contended that Andrew Jackson was born in South Caro- Mna and not in North Carolina, as the Tar Heels contend, and he con- wWantly jokes the Old North State for its claims that so many dis- *“@iaguished citizens of the country first saw the light within its bor- @ers. Since the announcement that the major is to edit the Observer, the newspapers are asking what he will have to say of the Mecklen- berg Myth when he goes to Char lotte, it being understood that one “annot live in Charlotte unless he @wears allegiance to the Mecklen- burg Declaration; and all loyal cit- azens of the Old North State must hold, of course, that Andrew Jack- @0n was born in North Carolina. “These matters will hardly trouble Major Hemphill.

It would have been dangerous, however, for T. Roosevelt to have named a majority of the crowd, and for the reason that we may at any time have a man in the President's of- fice who is unsafe, The Landmark has its serious doubts whether any one President should be per- mitted to name a majority of the court; but as to the best way to eliminate this possibility of danger it has no suggestion to offer. ene Eg Asscciute Justice Harlan’s long service 01 the Supreme Court bench was an honorable record.

It could have been, of | course, and go could the fact that 4be church was decorated, that the that the bride and bridesmaids carried bouquets, that the wedding march was played, @c., have been assumed. These things ordinarily appear in a church wedding but they must be mention- ed as a part of the story. All church weddings are much alike but if they were not written up in detail the parties interested would be much disappointed. The sports of cOurse want it to appear that “full dress’ is a common occur- rence in Statesville. The Land- mark has a habit of telling the truth and it is a fact that full dress at weddings and social futc- tiona in Statesville, until very re- cent years, was the exception rather than the rule, just as it is in oth- er towne of thia size; and by no m@ang does the ‘full dress’ ap- pear at al the church weddings and’ social functions even now. Hence it is just as much news to méntjon the full dress until it be- comes the rule at all functions as it ls to méntion any other de- tail of dress@ Because on occasion some of the sports rent dress suits and shine in them doesn't mean that the dress suit is as common as other clothes. ~Thé Landmark doesn't usually notice criticisms of this character, but this is men- tioned to show some of the sports that they don’t know as much as they think they do and also to show them that [he Landmark hasn't lost its capacity for plain B; eech = In Asheville the other day one Wilson met Dr. Russell Fletcher on the street and asked the doctor for & prescription for whiskey.

Associate Justice John Marehall Harlan, of the United States Su- preme Court; died at his home in Washington Saturday morning of acute bronchitis, aged 78. Justice Harlan was on the bench when the court opened Monday, 9th. That day he took cold and next day re- mained at home, his condition steadily growing worse. Justice Harlan was born in Boyle county, Ky., in 1833. Gradu. ated at Centre College, Ky., in 1850 and-at a law school in 1853. Practiced law at Frankfort and was elected county judge in 1858. Col- onel in Federal army from 1861 to 63 and Attorney General of Ken- tueky from 1863 to 1867. He was a candidate for Congress in 1871 and 1875 but was defeated. In 1877|? he was named by President Hayes as a member of the Louisiana com mission. In November, 1877, he be- came Associate Jtustice of the Unit- ed States Supreme. Court. Whenthe constitutionality of the Wilson tariff act of 1894, providing for an income tax, was questioned, he was one of the four judges who voted to uphold the validity of the instrument. Im the recent Standard Oil and American Tobacco Company cases, Justice Harlan filed a vig- oroug dissenting opinion, denying the right of the Supreme Court to write the word “unreasonable” in- to the Sherman anti-trust law. Justice Harlan was on the ‘ Su- preme Court bench 33 years, 10 months and 25 days, serving longer than any member of the court ex- ceptChiefJusticeMarshal] and Justice Field. The former served 34 years, five months and five days and the latter 34 years, six months and ten days.

Most. of the Chgngse in New York, if the news of the editors of The Reform News may be accepted, are not in sympathy with Dr. Sem and the revolution he is fathering. They held that reforms are needed, but desire a peaceful, constructive and political remonstrance rather one of arms “While we are in sympathy with anything that means reform in Chi- na,” said Kworg Loy, interpreter fo the publication, “we think Dr. Sen a demagogue and know the Chinese in this country are not in accord | { | | | { { } with his plans.

The noted exiled revolutionist, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, leader of the anti-Manchu party, if the plana do not miscarry, is to be elected President. He was the delegate of the revolutionary, par- ty to the United States in 1910 and is believed during that tour to have made arrangements for financ- ing the movement. Sun Yu, a brother of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who is now in Hankow, has been elected president of the pro vincial assembly, and Tang Hua Lung, the retiring president of the asssembly and a noted scholar, has been elected governor of Hu-Peh. The whole assembly has seced- ed from the Imperial government. The rebels are well organized and {financially strong. They have con- jf.scated the local treasuries and }banks and are issuing their own |Daper money, redeeming the govern- jment notes with this as foreign |banks are refusing government | notes. | The revolutionaries have captur- |@éd Wu Chang, the native section of Hankow, and Han-Yang, all adjoin- ing cities in Hu-Peh province. Chang-Sha, capital of Hunan, is re ported to have frigen in revolt and Nanking, capital of the prov- ince of Kiang-Su, is on the verge of a rising, several public buildings having been destroyed. Thousands of soldiers have joined the mutiny, in Hu-Peh. Many Man- chus have heen killed and the ter- rified people are fleeing from the cities into the country, carrying their belongings. The prisons have been opened and criminals liberated There has been fighting in the streets, but the most stringent or- ders have been issued that the liyea of foreigners and their prop- erty shall be reapected. An American expedition which waé dispatched from Hankow to Wu-Chang to aid the missionari¢s there, returned here today with all the missionaries except Mies R. A. Kemp, of the Episcopal Society, members of the Roman Catholic mission, including the Sisters, and the London mission, to depart. There was a brief exchange of }ehots today between the Wu-Chang |}forte and a loyal Chinese cruiser. The firing ceased after British and Japanese vofficialea had pratested tha’ it endangered the foreign con- ceagions., A dispatch from Peking says the Chinese government has at last aroused to the danger of the revo- lution and an imperial edict ordered { who declined { |the dispatch of two divisions of | | to the disaffected provinces. | About 20,000 of troops are Man-| chus. It is against the Manchus} that the revolutionists have arisen. | /At the same time ordera were is- sued for the assembling of a fleet | of warships in the Yang-Tse-Kiang |to unite with the land forces against | {the rebels According to official | |report at least ten thousand and | possibly fifteen thousand troops have} mutinied in the province of Hu-| |Peh alone. It is said that they | jecaptured thirty modern guns atWnu-} |Chang. There is an unconfirmed re| port that the revolutionaries oc- | jcupied Chang-Sha on October 10. | Extra precautions have been taken | jiu Peking to prevent a rising, and | |large bodies of troops are guarding | ;the palace. { oget opr troops | Vmegar, Beer and Soft Drinks. | The national pure food and drug }inspection board, which is now oe |trolled by Dr. Wiley, chief of the |bureau of chemistry, will now com-,| jsider vinegar, beer and “soft drinks.”” Hearings on thease gub- jects have been held. It is the jcontention of Dr. Wiley that pure | Vinegar ahould be made only from leider and that vinegars made from |malt, sugar, molasses, wine and | other ingredients should not be | |branded as pure vinegar. } | Action against soft drinks sold at | |soda fountains can apply only to the! drinks as they are shipped im in- | jter-State commerce. The govern- | ;ment police power will give Der. Wiley the opportunity, however, to jenforce his rulings in the city of | Washington by confiscating impure drinks at the local soda fountains. | | ‘The pure soft drink should contain | only a pure fruit extract, sugar, \8pice and pure water,” said, Dr. Wi- ley. “If I had -my way no other jsoft drinks woufd be permitted in (the market. The health of children lehould not be endangered by the ar- | tificilaL sweeteners, coloring matter and flavore that are sometimes us- ed and the public should be protect- ed against the caffein and ‘‘dope” that find their way into many of the drinks.” eT Easy For Ool.

The ware- houses of the Irede!l} Farmers’ Un- jon Warehouse Company at States- villle and Mooresville were opened lam, week and so far from 30 to 35 bales have been received daily at each ‘of the houses. Mr. W. B. Gibson, who is custodian of the warehouses, says that many who have spoken for room have not yet delivered their cotton. He believes that all the Union farmers who are not obliged to sell now will more their product and hold it un- ti] a reasonable price can be had, and there are many growers outside the Union who will also hold their cotton. The warehouses are owned and controlled by Union men and the members of the Union are given first choice of storage room, but after next Monday, 23d, the ware- houses will be thrown open to the public in gemeral. Mr. Gibson is at the Mooresville warehouse Mon- daye and Thursdays and at the Statesville warehouse the remaining work days of each week.

At 2 o'clock this morning the store house of Mr. W. A. Mayhew at Mayhew’s in Davidson towuship, was destroyed by fire. When the fire was diecovered the building was pretty well consumed on the corner next the public road and it was with a great deal of difficulty that the fire was/kept from spreading to the neighboring buildings. The granary caught several times but was ex~ tinguished without damage. The barn end nearby dwellings were sprinkled with embers but were kept from igniting. There was nothing in the stotehouse except a half bar- rel of kerosene and a shot gun. The oil burned and the gun exploded, Mr. Mayhew says he knows of no reazon why the building should have been set on fire and the burning may have been from a_ carelessly dropped match, An. equestrian statue “of Gen: John H.

Ladies of the Hospital and Others Not Pleased W: the Arrangement. The ladies of the Hospital Aseo- clation, some of the doctors . apd probably others are not at all pleased at the action of the board of aldermen in leasing Billingsley hospital. The ladies have held several meetings but they declin- ed to permit a Landmark reporter to hear what they had to say and so far havé given out nothing for publication. But they have talked enough outside to let it be known that they are not pleased and if the ears of the mayor and the al- dermen burn when they are being talked about then their ears must have been aflame much of the time the past ten deys. The grievance of the ladies is that they had done much voluateer work for the hospital and now when the insti- tution was in fairly good shape, so far as the building and equipment are concerned, they think it hardly fair to lease it. That is the talk one hears. Another complaint is that by the the hospital is placed en- one who by That this permission hospital and that Billingsley, the ar- becomes private hospital. ‘Yhe aldermen leased the hospital becruse they felt that it cost too much to operate it under the pres- ent arrangement. Las o@en handed some tending to show that the cost, outside of permanent improvements, is not near so great as generally by supposed and that for the past six / months, making allowance for char- ity work, the cost to the town has very small.

The imperial Chinese troops and the revolutionists have come to grips at Hankow. The battle as yet ig indecisive. The government at Peking claims a great victory and the government troops hold the trenches at Hankow as well as the station, where reinforcements are ‘ourly arriving. The rebels have fallen back on Wu Chang, whica it is said they have succeed- ed in srongly fortifying in the past few days. The casualties on both sides in the engagement are reported large, for the fighting at times was at the hayonet point. During the bat- tle between the land forces’ the Chiuvse warships shelled the reb- els’ position, but dispatches from Hankow indicate that the return fire from the forts was more effec- tive and that at least two of the imperial gunboats were badly dam- American warships have been ordered to Nanking, Shanghai and Eien-Tsin.

There's nothing good in hell Bad intentions are the style down there.—Newton News. it’s the road to hell, not hell, that is paved with good intentions. “Broad is the road that leads death And thousands there; But wisdom finds a narrow path With here and there a traveler.” That is the way the old hymn reads. The descent to heH is easy an@ the road is represented as a broad thoroughfare,paved with good intentions. That is to say, the peo ple in the main who travel the downnward road are always gomz to do better, to change their course, but they never do. s s s to walk Those who have not figured it | out have little conception of the enormous loss sustained by the Yarmers individually, by the South generally, and the country, on ac- count of the drop in the price of cotton as compared with last year Tne Scottish Chief, of Maxton, in its ‘esua@'of last week presents a few figures tnat are eye-openers. On the szme date last year the price Of cotton was 14.60. The price on _ the day under consideration was 8.75, a difference of 5.75 cents the pound or $28.75 per bale. The loss ©n the price of seed is estimated at $5 a bale, making the total loss @n a bale of cotton as compared with last year $33.50 This, gays the Chief, would mean a loss of $670,- ©00 on the 20,000 bales handled @n the Maxton market; a floss of $2,077,000 on the 62,000 bales rais- @d in Robeson county, and a loss of $23,150,000 on the 700,000 raised in the State. Think of the farmers of one tounty losing over two million in one season by depre- ciation in the price of cotton and a Joss ot $23,000,000 in the State; then think of the loss sustained on the cotton crop of the South! Then remember, too, that last year the price was fiot unreasonably high but was really--@ fair price. it’s Something serious and something to ponder. s 3 s s Geo. Hall, convicted of being a “Wwember of the mob that lynched the negroes who killed the Lyerly family in Rowan, some years ago, and sentenced to 15 years in the State prison. is to be set free mext month. Much sympathy hag betn expressed for Hall and it has deen riously contended that he @hould/not have been punished be- causefe was only one of a large number in the lynching party, all of whom were as guilty as he, some of them probably more deserving of punishment. That is ali true, but because other guilty men e@caped was no excuse for Halli He was a conspicuous member of the lynch- Mug party and there wag no evidence to indicate that his zeal to kill the negroes was the result of any Special interest in the Lyerly fam- ily or any special desire to avenge the foul murder of that family. According to the Tecoliextion of Hall's activities on that occasion he was enjoying the affair as some- thing of a frolic and enjoying it the more because it wae a lawless act. He was zealous and conspicu- ous because he had Dlenty pany and as a member of Stood ready to an jawlessness. He is of a type is conspicuous in mobs, a ty} usually shows courage o1 ly backed by numbers and Object is violence to law and o; der. “Therefore Hal) deserved the punishment he has received and it may be a valuable lesson to him Wiadle it may be that not sufficient of com- a mob of that that commit act e when the book other members of the mob that is no excuse for Halll nor does it lessen his guilt. Many lawbreak- ers escape punishment, but because one or a dozen or 100 escape is no reason why one should go unpunish- ed when guilt ip clearly establish- ed.

Two hundred progressive Republi- cans here today, in their first na- tional conference, endorsed Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of Wiggonsin, rorPresident and declared in favor of a direct primary as a means for the expression of a presidential choice. The endorsement came in the shape of resolutions framed iz part by former Secretary of the In- terior James R. Garfield, who it was held by the delegates appear- ed as expressing the views of Theo- dore Roosevelt and who it was fear- ed would oppose a declaration for any individual. Mr. LaFollette’s en dorsement went through without a hitch, however. The resolution followed a day of LaFollette enthusiasm in which his name was cheered repeatedly as it was mentioned by a dozen speak- ers. Contrary to expectation the conference was concluded in one day and most of the delegates ieft the city. The resolutions were framed’ by a sub-committee of five and were re- vised by former Secretary Garfield and Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot, of Wisconsin. John E. Little, of North Carolina, was a member of the sub-comunittee.

It is impossible for any teacher, however interesting he may make the work of the school, and however faithful he may be ‘in the performance of his duties, to secure regularity and punctuality of attendance or the faithful perform- ance of school duties, especially of work assigned to be done out of |sechiool hours, without the hearty co- |operation of pareents at home. Many, parents do not realige that after a child begins to attend school, going to school should be and is his main business in life. As childhood is the habit-forming and character-forming period of life, the manner in which he does his school work, and the business hab- its that he acquires in the per formance of this main business of the formative period of his life, will determine the manner in which he will perform the main work of his life in the world as a man, will fix the business habits of his life and be most potent ia the shaping of his character.

The people are sTow- ing weary of the increasing miscar- riage of justice through the too frequent use of the pardoning pow- Except in most exceptional er. cases, the judgment of the court ought to stand. Too many par dons cause the masses to lose re- @pect for the laws. Mr. Taft would have done more to strengthen re- gpect for law by letting this rich. banker serve his full sentence, which was not too long, a8 an ex- ample that law is no respecter of persons.— Raleigh News and Ob- g@erver. This is unjust to the President. He didn’t pardon Walsh and Walsh hasu’t been pardoned. He has been released under the parole law, which went into operation a year ago. Under this law prisoners are admitted to parole under certain conditions by a board appointed to pass on e cases, and the Presi- Gent has nothing to do with it. The Landmerk thinks Walsh should mot have been released, but ‘he blame does not attach to the President. ° Discussing this parole law before the American Prison Association at Omaha the other day, Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham said since the Jaw had been put into effect but one prisoner had violated his parole. The 200 prisoners who were pa- roled from the time the law was put into effect in the autumn of 1910 to June 30 earned nearly $22,- @00. whereas, if they had remain- ed in prison, the Attorney Generzl pointed out, they wild have been a charge on the government The Attorney General adniitted, howev- er, that so great stress has been laid on the reformation of crimi pals that ‘‘we sometimes forget that in order that punishment may as a deterrent upon others it must appear as a badge of disgrace, and not simply the bestowal of bendvo- lence.’ That's the whole trouble The tendency is to make punish- ment, if inflicted at all, as light and as comfortable as possible; and fa doing this the idea that the criminal should suffer for his of fence and that the act should be a deterrent, is. almost eliminated. The Landmark and the Iredell folks are beholden to Major, Hemp- @ili, of the Richmond Times-—Dis- patch, for his offer to send to Ral- eigh the picture of Gen. Sam Hous- ton which Texas has presented to Virginia, if further investigation shows that Houston was born in North Carolina. The Landmark aware that the record names Rock- bridge county, Va., as the place of Houston's birth and on reflection it is not disposed to contend for the honor for Iredell. After Hous- ton was a member of Congress from Tennessee and Governor of that State, he married the daugh- ter 6f anvex-Governor of Tefines- gee. In four months he deserted his wife and went into the wilder- mess, was adopted as the son of an Indian chief and became chief of the Cherokee tribe. Later he engaged in the war for Texas inde- pendence, annihilated the Mexican army, at San Jacinto, was for two terms president of the Texas repub- Me,member of Congressand Govern- er of Texas after the State was annexed. He opposed secession at the outbreak of the war between the States and died in 1862. He May have had good and sufficient weason for deserting bis wife, but the reason was never made public. Houston's record was a fine one @ut we are disposed to let Virginia claim him. ——SSe Diecussing the possible attitude ef some of the North Caroliina Re- publicans with reference to’ the “progressive” Republicans, the Greenstoro News sqys: No man knows where Judge W. S O'B. Robinson stands, further than that he may be depended upon to do and say what he pleases. He Yemarked to the writer recent- dy that ne was thinking of resign- smg from the Republican party and Joining the Democrats so he could Vote for Aycock for Senator. ‘Do you know,” he said, ‘that Char We is one of the most agreeable Wascale ic the world?

W.. Perkins, former guranco’ Company and doubtless af- filiated in one way or another with many Jarge corporations, is now de- voting a part of hia time to ad- vising the public. One of his fa- vorite subjects, says the Charlotte Clamor Against Big Corporations and Economic Methods.” On this subject the Chronicle submits a few words of timely advice to Mr. Per- kins as follows: Ir the present situation, where trusts and monopolies have carried things with such a high hand, it might seem that Mr. Perkins’ cam- paign has begun at the wrong end. lf the trusts and monopolies would themselves come from under their va- rious covers and submit themselves to publicity, examinations, regula- tlon and control, it would constitute a better argument to the people to cease the clamor against them than the: speeches of Mr. Perkins. It is producing a wholly wrong impres sion to assume that the people are clamoring about nothing. K is to- tally in error to intimate that people have any objection to the size of the conporation or the magnitude it may grow to as the result of success- ful, honest business management. The people don’t even object toa wonopoly if it is honestly adminis- tered, as for example the postal wonopoly. The trouble is that most of the fraudulent trusts, monopolies and combinations are under cover of their big business and can’t be got at ordiuarily. If Mr. Perkins wants to make the best sort of an argument favorable to legitimate big business he must start with his speeches to the trusts themselves, and advise them to come out openly and hon- estiy submit to the law in the lights of the full doings of their Well and truly aaid. It is all very well to deprecate the injustice jot onveighing against corporations simply because they are corpora- but those who wish to be of | | tions, | real service !n thig matter, both to| the corporattions and the people, | should also lend their efforts, a6 | the Chronicle points out, to the re-| moval of the real evils fostered by trusts and corporations That such | evils exist will not be denied. The people have a just grievance unless the/cause for grievance is re- moved, the danger ie that in their desperation, their blind wrath, they in ‘he last resort, goto an extreme ‘hat will harm others than the real offenders. This is usually the case and it is the natural re sult. But people who conduct le gitimate business often oppose the {attempts to remedy evils under ithe false idea that business will be disturbed. evils go on rather than risk chauge. There pever was a greater mistak>. So long as the admitted evils exist the clamor against them will increase ard it should increase, ‘and when the remedy is applied it jwill, in many imstances at least, cramp if uot burt those who are really :unccent, and it will be their own faui‘; they will bring whatever they suffer on themselves Every man who believes in honest and le- will, |gitimate business should lend his jefforts to secure such laws or the | ; jenforcement of laws that will com- |pel all corporations, big and little, ito deal honestly and fairly witb |the people. This course is not only jright of itself but it is the only |course to insure safety for those iwho do legitimate business; it is a matter of self-preservation for them With reference to the plan for the dissolution of the tobacco trust, by dividing it into four companies, Attorney General Wickersham says if the plan brings a return of com- petition it will be approved by the Department of Justice; other- wise it will not be approved. No matter if the tobacco trust is di- vided into 100 separate companies, so long as all the companies are owned by, the same interests there will be no competition. Dividing it into four or any number of compa- nies will not result in honest com- petition so long as there is even a ‘‘gentleman’s agreement’ between the various companies. Agents Who Sell to Farmers. Pregressive Farmer. The latest and most extensive means of fleecing the farmers, since lightning rods, sewing machines ete., nave been worked to the lim- it, is. the selling of ranges or kitchen stoves worth not ever $30 to $40, at $75 each. The good women in the farm homes né@ed these ranges and we would not say one word against their purchase if they were bought on a reasonable business basis.

The meeting of the Elcricemoh club, held with Mrs. T. M. Crowell last Friday afternoon, was purely social and was enjoyed by a num- ber of visitors in addition to the club members. Progressive games were played for amusement and af- ter the games refreshments were served. The Entre Nous ladies are evi- denthy not superstitious about “Friday, 13th,” a combination which is dreaded by many. Their club was organized on Friday, the 13th day of October, 1901, and when it happened that their tenth birthday came on Friday—last Friday, 13th —they celebrated the event that evening at the home of Mrs. L. W. MacKesson on Center street. In accordance with custom the tenth anniversary of this popular social and literary organization was made a “tin affair,’’ the “tin idea” being carried out in many particulars. Only the club members were present. They played progressive dominos and two tin prizes were awarded, Mrs. Lois Long Hackett winning a candlestick and Mre. E. R. Rankin atin dust tray. Then there was a | drawing contest in which each of |the ladies drew a little tin medal, jfor excellence in some _ particular line, on which was depicted their chief characteristics.

State Foresters Holmes Makep For Year 1010. Charlotte Chronicle. State Forester J. S. ;Holmes_ has completed and submitted to Governor Kitchin his report on forest fires. in North Carolina during the year 1910, including statistics of fire losses, area burned, etc., and suggestions for the revention of these destructive fires n this report it is stated that reports from correspondents in but one-third of the townships of the State give an estimated area of 580,000 acres of woodland burnt over during 1910, with a consequent loss of over half a’ million dollars in timber and per- sonal property. If the losses from this cause in the remaihing townships could be ascertained’ and the enor- mous damage to vdeo growth, soil and streams could be computed, it is very certain that the total loss to North Carolina by forest fires for the st year would reach a million dol- rs. Not only this, but a loss of five human lives was caused directly by these same fires, which were in a A Steady Growth.

Nearly half of the burned over aréa of the State was supporting a rowth of merchantable timber, though probably the greater part of it had been culled to some extent. The division of the area into mer- chantable timber, second growth and cut-over, is only approximate and cannot be taken as definite figures. Nearly all merchantable timber in the hardwood forests contains more or GEORGE WASHINGTON’S ‘WILL. Published as a Public Father Wealthy. “last will and testament of George Washington of Mount Ver- nou,” is the title of a public docu- ment just issued by authority of theUnited States Senate. The docu- ment is handsomely iNustrated and contains, in addition to the text Washington and his family. The Washington repoees in the court house at Fairfax Oourt House, in Fairfax county, in which Mount Vernon,where the body’ of Washing- ton rests, is located. Recently Vice President Sher Man motored to’ Fairfax with a view to scrutinizing the will. He ar- rived there on Sunday. The lo- cal authorities refused to allow the Vice Presideuat to gee the docu- ment, ‘declaring that neither the President, the Vice President, nor any other dignitary could induce them to open the court house on the Lord’s Day. The failure of the Vice President to see Washing- ton’s will on the occasion of his visit to Fairfax court house re sulted in the passage of a resolu- tion by the Senate providing for a print for the benefit of the people. The last will and testament of Washington was written in the sum-~- mer of 1799 and dated July 9 of that year, a few months prior to his death. At the court held for the county of Fairfax January 20, 1800, the will was presented in open court byGeorge Steptoe Washington, Sam- ue] Washington and Lawrence Lew- is, the three executors, and a certif- icate was granted for obtaining pro-\ bate in due form. Later the will) of the distinguished Virginian was carried to Richmond and deposited) less second growth. Such figures, therefore, cannot be accurate, andare of use chiefly in the damage done by fires.

Most fires, however, do serious inju- ry to future standing timber, and of- ten the death of timber which is at- tributed to insects is really primarily caused by forest fires. In spite of this, however, there is a reported loss of 62,000,000 feet of merchanta- ble timber from fires. This is nearly twice as much as was reported de- stroyed in 1909. The value of forest products de- stroyed in 1910 is about three times as much as that listed in 1909, and amounts to over a quarter of a million dollars. This includes sawlogs, lum- ber, cordwood, bark and other mate- rial. Although this large item of loss is no doubt much below the real figure, it is, however, enough to make the people realize the advisability of tak- i oe steps to prevent such fires. ‘arm improvements, chiefly fences and outbuildings, are included under thishead. Ninety-eight thousand dol- half of it in the coastal plain region. This is also largely in excess of 1909. The year 1910 will long be remem- bered as one of the most destructive to life and property from forest fires throughout the courtry. During the month of August scores of lives were lost in the forest regions of the North- western States. North Carolina was the largenumber. There were more than 750 reported, while there were scores and scores not reported in all probability. More than $35,000 was spent by individuals these fires, and this amount also does not include the cost of fighting many small fires that were not reported. The causes of forest firesare many.

With Cow and&k Value of Dry Corn GREEN Its Value Com Horse Man L. Burgess, N. culture. Who would think of using corn aga green manuring crop? But why not use it as well as rye? True, the chemical analysis of green corn reveals less plant food in iH per ton than green rye, but what about the tons per acre? Where you: can get 8 tons of green rye you should be able to get 24 tons of green corn. You can, on average land, by use of, say, 200 lbs. of some cheap fertilizer, grow from 15 to 20 tons of green corn per acre, which should be cut up with a disc harrow and plowed under just be fore botting for tassel. The follow- ing table shows the average chem- ical analysis of a iarge number of samples of green corn compared with the composition of stable ma- nures: Composition of Green Corn pared with the Composition Fresh Cow Manure Nitrogen Phosphate Potash 82 30 66 Fresh Cow Manure 746 16 13 Fresh Horse Manure 8,7 1.9 73 The above table shows green corn to contain 8.2 lbs: of nitrogen; 3 Ibs. of phosphate and 6.6 Ibs. of petash per ton. As indicated above, land in a fair state of cultivation should grow at least 15 tons of green corn per acre. At this rate ten-acre field would grow 150 tons of organic matter which, when inccrporated with the soil, would add, in an avatilabie form, 1,230 lbs. of nitrogen, 450 lbs. of phos- of potash. Ali the scil of the ten-acre field to be sure but though it was in the soil it was not in, an available condition for the succeeding crop until it was up, digested and built into the tissues of the green corn plant, from which it will be readily Hb- erated by decay after being plow- ed down . The amount of nitrogen thus ren- dered ayuilable on the ten-acre field is equal to that supplied by 160 tons of fresh horse manure, or 30 tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer. The phos phate supplted by this amount of J. C. Dept. Agri- Com- of gréen manure is equal to that found! le tons of an $-2-2 fertilizer, or in 280 tons of fresh horse manure The potash rendered available is equal to that supplied by 25 tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer or 135 tons of fresh horse manure At 50c. a ton it wil] cost $80 to in 2 haul and spréad 160 tons of manure. | The seed corn should not cost over $2 and, with the right kind of im- plements, the seeding should be but a small expense. The discing and plowing necessary to incorpor- ate the green corn with the eoib properly, incidentally prepares the land for the succeeding crop so that the labor expense is but a small item Bat whet about Stalks? Shall they 30-bushel crop of com will leave On the average about one ton of stalks, fodder and ‘‘shucks’”’ on the land This ton of this dry stuff contains 20.8 lbs. of nitrogen, 5.5 ibs. of ,phosphate and 28 Ibs potash, all of which will be give: up to succeeding crops just as 30 as the material can rot in ground Why not use these old stalks a source of organic matter 80/1! improvement? It would ser thal the best thimg possible to d with the corn crop is to husk in the field, leaving both husks aud fodder on the stalks, then cut the Stalks to pieces with a good Sherp stalk-cutter and plow them under to decay This method otf handling them is far superior to any other I know, as they make a poor quality of forage and a right good quality of humus. In the above we have emphasized the plant food elements contained in the vegetable matter, but the niost important functions of humus is that of Hberating otherwise imert Plant foods in the soil itself, open- ing up ite texture and allowing the rain waters to go down deep into the sub-soi]l where they are stored and held for the crops.

Towel in city The gtand jury im the United States Disirict Court at Salisbury yester'‘ay returned a true bill of indictmeni, containing 18 separate courtsagainst Mr. John B. Spence, postmaster at Charlotte, charging him with detaining mail matter in his office. It is understood that the specifiic charges are that in Oc- tober, 1908, Mr. Spence held up and refused to atlow to go through the mails two separate issues of the Bessemer City Messenger, a newspaper edited and published at Bessemer City, by John A. Smith, who was then the Republican nomi- née for Congress in the ninth. con- eressional district. It is alleged that the newspaper was mailed at Bessemer City and was received at the Charlotte office, where it was detained and ultimately destroyed, by the direction of Mr. Spence. It will be recalled that Mr. Spence appeared before a Federal grand jury at Wilkesboro a few months ago and gave testimony against Mr. John A. Smith, which resulted in a true bill of indictment being returned against Mr. Smith, charging him with soliciting funds in a public bu!lding, for politica} pur- poses.

Representatives of the Natonial CigarManufacturers’ and the Cigarmakers’ International Un- ion appeared before the commission- ers of internal revenue this week to protest further against the Treasury Department's ruling that all cigars smoked in cigar factories and taken from the factories must pay an internal revenue tax the same as cigars bowed for sale. cigars, given to employes in many of the 25,000 cigar factories in the United States, cost the gov- ernment about $1,000,000 a year, for in some instances it was found that these cigars, taken away tax- free, were later sold. The Treasury has been holding that a manufac- turer is liable to tax om all eigare manufactured. . At the close of the conference it was announced that a ruling would be isste! soon.

PHONES = «SOF 68 RESIDENCE \ 2380 BARLY SUNDAY MORNING FIRE. The second story of the building on Meeting street, occupied by Mr. T. E. Frye’s cabinet shop, was gut- ted by fire early Sunday morning. Mr. Frye’s machinery, tools, mate- tial, etc., are practically a total loss, estimated at from $200 to $300. Mr. L. M. Downum also had his toois in Mr. Frye’s shop and his loss is about $100. The damage to the building, which is owned by. Mr. Isidore Wallace, will amount to several hundred dollars. The Thompson garage occupied the first floor of the buildimg but as the flames were confined to the upper story but little damage oc- curred in the garage, the principal damage resulting from water. A hole was burned through the ceiling and coais dropped through to the tower floor, but nothing took fire. Mr. Wallace is the only one of the losers who carried insurance. The fire, which is of unknown origin, is thought to have started in the ceiling of the upper story, and was discovered about 3 o'clock by Policeman Fuip, who was making his rounds. The flames were making good headway but the fire department responded promptly and the fire was under contro] within a few minutes after the arrival of the firemen. There were 61x automobiles jn the garage and realizing that they were in danger, tne firemen and citizens who hat gathered removed all of them cxcept one. of ons of the machines were taken from the building.

Bome weeks ago a petition was circulated im Statesville, and liber- ally signed, asking the Governor not to grant a pardon to Freeland Tharpe, of Wilkes. It will be re- catied that Tharpe attempted to boil] Miss Ball, of Elkin, and did in- flict very serious wounds. Tharpe ‘was infatuated with Miss Ball but whe preferred another and this was Uwe only reason for the shooting The crime was committed in Wilkeg and Tharpe was tried tn Wilkes Superior Court before Judge Justice and sentenced to five years in the State prison Last week Mr. D. F. Tharpe, of Wilkes, father of Freeland Tharpe, circulated in Statesville and the county a petition asking for the pardon of his son. It is set forth that Tharpe has served two years and eight months and has made a good prisoner; that his victim re- covered, married the man of her choice and is now living in Robe- eon county. It is claimed that Tharpe was temporarily insane and that he was handicapped at the trial on account of the prominence and influence of the young lady's family; and it is alleged that Judge Justice and the jurors who tried the case will recommend the par- don. This summary of the petition is printed as 4 matter of news and at the request of the young man’s fa- ther. The efforts of the father to secure the release of his son is natural and there is sympathy, for him, of course, but The Landmark has no reason to change the opin- jon it has heretofore expressed about this case. Buying Ligttuing Rods, Pamps and Ranges. A Statesville man who travels about the county considerably, re- marked to The Landmark a few days ago that notw ths.anding thes. com- plaint of short crops and the low price of cotton, he believes it will take two crops of cotton to pay for the lightning rods, the pumps and the ranges sold in Ire- dell thie year. The lightning rod fever seems to have been epidemic in parts of the county this year and thousands of dollars have been spent for the rods supposed to protect from light- sing. The gentleman quoted avers that he saw lightnimg rods on cabins where the coset of the buiidings was less than the cost of the rods. That doesn’t sound good for the progressive county of Iredell, but people who buy, these things are found in great numbers in every county in the State, and everywhere for that matter, and always there is some philanthropist ready to re- lieve them of their money.

Cald- well were at Yadkinville last week in attendance at the trial of the north IredelH officers and possemen indicted for shooting Cleve McBride, the north Lredell blockader, while attempting to arrest Kim last Jan- uary. The case was put on trial in Yadkin 3uperior Court Wednes- day at noou and went to the jury Thursday night at 10 o'clock. At the opening of court Friday morning the jury brought in a verdict ac- quitting all the defendants except Marshall Grose, who had admitted that he fired the shots which took effect on McBride. Mr. Grose was sentenced to pay one-sixth of the eutire State cost in the case and a half of the remaining fivesixths of the cost, the amount being $150. The other defendants in the case were Messrs. J. D. Joyner, deputy sheriff for Eagle Mills township; J. C. Renegar, constable of Eagle Mills, J. R. Joyner, M. E. Grose, and Chas. » and all were charged with assault with deadly weapons. These, with Marshall Grose, went to the home of Jim Hayes, near the point where the county limes of Yadkin, Davie and Iredell corner, the last Sunday in January, to place Mc- Bride under arrest, and when the latter ran, and with pistol in hand defied arrest, he was fired on and | 80 badly wounded that be was laid up at CheHayes home for four weeks The rear wheels | before being brought to jail here |man's brightest hope for a better off |The officers and possemen were ar-|lHfe in the hereafter cannot exceed and it was with difficulty that it wa8/ rested on warrants sworn out before/what is in fact the present reality D.

A demonstration of the Price- Campbell cotton picking machime Was given on a farm near Char- lotte last week. The Observer says the machine ‘‘is already a practical success It is not perfect, but it approximates perfection so nearly that its operation in present form removes every vestige of doubt that the processes for picking cot- ton are at this moment revolution- ized Improvements will, of course, be added from year to year. Such is the history of every form of mecnanism that has been lifted from its crudity to completeness With the features that have with- in late years been added, themselves of so vast proportions that the present mechanism hardly, resembles in actual form or theory the early types of construction, the machine is now able to straddle the rows of cotton and lift perhaps 90 per cent. of the staple from the bolls, leaving the foliage, the un- opened bolls, the blooms and the Stalks entirely unharmed.”’ Sweet Potato Blooms. Mr. C. b. Stewart, of Stony Point R. F. D. 1, writes The Landmark that he has several blooms on his sweet potato vines and wants to know if the blooms are unusual. They are unusual only in that we do not often see them, but it is’ a well known fact that sweet pota- to vines occasionally bloom. The Sweet potato vine is allied to the morning glory and the morning glory is noted for fits blossoms. It is presumed that the cultivation of the sweet potato with the view of pro ducing roots rather than vines pre- vents the blooms appearing as they wouid if the potato was not culti- vated, or as they formerly did when the potatoes were small.

Smith, of Bos- ton, spoke on Christian Science at the court house last evening. The lecturer was introduced by Mayor Caldwel] and was heard by abost 125 to 150 people. Judge Smith's subject was “‘The Real Man and His Relation to God,” Assuming that no one disbeléeves in a “power or cause higher than himself’ it was asserted that one “does not need to be very scientif- ic or very religious to feel. thet he is intermediate in the scale of exist- ence—superior to some effects but subordinate to the primordial substance or cause, higher than e@ creatures but lower than the creator. This ia a fact made evi- dent by reason as well as revel- ation. Mere observation discovers the existence of laws which manét festly proceed from a power, am in- telligent source, higher than man. The turning of the earth upon its axis, the coming of a good thought into consciousness, these diverse facts both illustrate the operation of law; they instance the action of a Mind which is superior to man.

Colored Stadents at the A. and M. Coligee in Greensboro Refuse ta Obey Orders of Faculty. Greensboro News, 22d. ‘Because some of the students of the negro Agricultural and Mechani- eal College have felt. that they need- ed all their.time on Saturday in order to earn their way through college, and because the college faculty required the performance of balf a day’s work in the college @ourse on that day, the student body yesterday morning, presenting classes. As a result practically ev- ery member of the senior and junior classes has been expelled. To preserve order and to insure en- forcement of the mules, policemen patrolled the grounds for several hours yesterday. Greatly depleted in ranks, the college will continue according to the regular schedules. President James B. Dudley and the’ members of the faculty are standing firm for the schedule of studies as ar- ranged, and are also determined to get rid of those students whom they denote as ‘ringleaders.’ President ley believes that the affairs of the college will continue after the expulsion of certain students. kt ia explained that a majority of the 300 students at the col- lege are “working their way”; that. many,.of them are employed in Greensboro, in various capacities, on Saturdays, as they make most desirable workers. Some time ago the directors of the institution or- dered that more time be given to manual labor at the college, and that to carry out this order, with- Out cutting the literary course, the faculty found it necessary to have the students put in part time on Saturdays. This interfered, the students say, with those who had arranged to work out on Saturdays to help pay their expenses, and they claim this work is necessary if they remain in school. The presi- Gent of the college says: “The sole cause of the trouble fs the objection to the Saturday achoel from 9 to 1 o'clock.

Chinese Rebels Victorious. Associated Press Summary, 21st | The imperial Chinese forces met | with defeat Wednesday at Hankow, being driven back from the city by the rebels. The extent of the de- feat is not yet known, but the gov- ernment forces are reported to be entrenched seven miles north of Hankow, awaiting reinforcements | The warships which took part in| the engagement, with one exception, retreated down the river. One of the vessels, it is reported, went over to the revolutionists. Consular dispatches received Peking from the province of Yur Nan, report dissatisfaction among the troops there, who threaten to mutiny. The Chinese government admits a serious situation at Chang- Sha, province of Hu-Nan and this admission is believed to indicate that the people of Chang-Sha have joined the revolt. It is feared by the legations at Peking that news of the repulse of | the government forces at Hankow will utterly, demoralize the troops now mobilizing and also that the provinces south of the Yangtse and some of those north of the river will secede. ‘A later report says the main ar- my of the Chinese government = un- der War Minister Yin Tchang, said to number 20,000 men, was defeatec at Kwang Shui, Hu-Pehb province The rebel army of 15,000 under [i Yueng, it is stated, captured artil- lery, baggage train and ammunition of the imperial anmy, which retreat- ed to Sho Got.

After thoroughly studying the plan of disintegration that has/| been fiied by, the American Tobacco Company with the judges of the United States Circuit Court, the | Attorneys General of Virginia, North Caroliua and South Carolina, who have been in conference here on this matter for two days, reached the conclusion late today that the scheme proposed will offer no relief to tobacco growers of the country Belief is expressed that if this plan is adopted the victory of the government resulting from the de cision of the United States Supreme Court would be a ‘barren one.”’ The conferees decided ¢o file to motrow a petition in the United States Circuit Court asking that the Southern States represented at the conference be permitted to file written objections to the plan of dissolution and to be heard at the hearing set for October 30.

Some of the Difficulties in the Way{ | and Some Interesting Information, About China. Baltimore Sun. This world has seen all kinds of |republics. Under that all-embracing oe democracies, aristocracies, ob- |igarchies and dictators have con- jtioMed cities, leagues, confedera- t'ons, federations and highly, central ized large States. It is, indeed, ed- ifying to learn that the Chinese rebels intend to establish a repu- lic. It is still more edifying that they propose to adopt the American |form of government. But one is |far from sure what interpretation the Celestiais will place upon a con- stitution under which in different parts of the Western world the iceals of Jefferson and the prac- aoe of Diaz have equally flourish- e The family organization of the Chinese places the Emperor in a |Stroug Position. Absolute obedience of son to father is ineuleated alike by Chinese laws and religious be- liefs, and the Emperor is the father of the whole Chinese family. How- ever contrary to genera) impres- [sous here, the Celestials are sus- ceptible to new ideas. For instance, the growth of their religious — be- liefa-—there is no state religion in Cnina—has been continually mod ified by new teachings, and foreign creeds have at all] times been able to find many converts. Again, the pclitical theories of the forerunners of the French Revolution century were many. of them formulated in the eleventh century by one Wan- guugan Che, whose doctrines found sufficient adherents to start a for- nmidable religion. If the Chinese do adopt our con- stitution, the question arises what institutions exist there which would tend to make it a success. In the firs: place, it is certain that the |size of China and the wide divergence | between north and south necessitate }a federal rather than a central form cf governm nt. Already each prov- ince is practically self-sufficing and |but loosely knit with the central power. There are many features in Chinese life which we associate with modern democracy. No wealthy class of landed proprietors exists. The much-abused examination for weuld-be officeholders has at least the merit of keeping public Hfe open to the bookworms of all classes. In their business relations the Chinese realize the advantage of proviptness and honesty, and have shown considerable aptitude for or- ganization. In no country are guilds for mutual assistance and labor un- } ious stronger, and the most rapacious Official is deferential to their wish- es. Of late years, too, the Chinese have taken very kindly to newspa- pers. At present the lack of educational facilities opposes a grave obstacle to the effective working of democrat- 'c institutions. But modern schools are spreading rapidly, and compe- tent authorities regard the educa- tional situation as hopeful. More se- rious objections lie in the lack of pclitical morality and patriotism throughout the empire. It has al- wuys been recognized that officials Were entitled to ‘‘squeezes,”’ and the native Chinese industrial de- velopment has been severely handi- capped by this form of extortion. The rebels, it is true, recently. be- headed a “grafter,’’ but a syatem \ike that dies hard. It is, per- haps, a little ominous that the Chinese civil code is meagre, while the penal oode is extraordinarily vo- luminous. It is still more ominous that the Chinese language con- ta'ns no word to-corregpond with our liberty. Professor Hart, in his ‘Obvious Orient,” indicates the probable trend of politics under a republic in his cbservations that the lack of pa- tiortism and the capacity of the Chinese for combination would make their country the best possible field ‘or machine politics.

Whis from the Charlotte Observ- ow: - Meation the exorbitant charges for many of the present staple com- modities of the people and there is @ long waiting list of enthusiastic defenders of our modern prosper- ity who have quotations of war-time prices ready for deliverance for purposes of comparison. Leay- img aside the fact that such a eontrast cannot reasonably be made between the tendencies of trade at @imes of war and at times of emi- ment pecce, it is interesting to re~ @ute the cry with some facts that have been unearthed by a Richmond a@atiquarian: ‘ Ima war time a barrel of flour @ould be purchased for $4.10; the Present price is $7.75. Hams at the time of the war @old for 14 epnts a pound; the pres- at priceis 20 to 28 centéa pound. Butter sold then for 15 to 20 outs. The present price is 30 @o 46 cents a pound. Beef scld then for 6% cents a pound. The present price is 15 ents. Cotfee could be purchased for 13 to 16 cents a pound. The present price ie 20 to 40 cents. Tard ecid for 8 to 12 Yents a pourd The present price is 12 to 15 cents. Molasses cold for 30 to 35 cents a gallon. The present price is 35 to 60 cents. It is interesting in this connéc- tion to note the prices quoted in the Statesville American of Septem- Ber 20, 1869. more than four years after the war closed. A copy of the American, @d in Stutesville by the late E. B. Drake, recently fell into the. hands of Mr. E. M. Brawley,of Statesville, who loaned it to The JLand- mark, and from it we quote ihe Market report im Statesville on that date: Flour $8 to $9, (the pa- per doesn state whether this ‘was the price per barrel or sack, but it :s presumed that barre) is meant), ccrr $1, wheat $1.25 to $1.50. cats 50 to 55 cents, rye $1, geas 75 to 45, beans $1 to $1.25, Ivish potatoes £0, sweet potatoes $1, apples £5 to 50 and dried ap- ples 5 :o 7 vents the lb.; bacon 18 to 20, lard 20, pork 8 to 10, beef 5 to 8, butter 15 to 20, eggs 8 to 10, | ehickens 15 to 20 cents each (they | @idn’t seli chickens by the pound | States then); whiskey. $1.25, brandy $1.75 | (think of good whiskey and brandy liiaae: What cheap!), sole leather 33 to 40 certs the pound, upper leather 65 to 75, cotton 25 to 30, cot- fom yarn $2.25 to $2.50 (the Bunch?) sheeting 18 to 20,salt $3.- 20 to $3.25, coffee 25 to 33, brown @ugar 16 to 20, crushed sugar 22 @o0 25, nails 8 to 10, iron 7 to 8%. A comparison between these prices and those of the present day, are interesting. In some cases there is little difference, while im @thers the difference is marked. Greensboro has adopted the me- tropolitan method of keeping a po- lheeman stationed at the crossing on the square to prevent accidents as result of the continuous traffic and at times congested condition of the prominent’ crossing.

Just before sailing for Europe the other day, John Arbuckle, the su- gar refiner and coffee manufactur- er, issued a statement strongly attacking the ‘tariff on raw suger, declaring it to be a wicked tax, \‘for the benefit of the beet sur gar interests.” In his statement Mr. Arbuokle said: “IT have not been well and am going abroad to rest and recuper- ate in preparation for the fight to be mude in Congress at its next session for free sugar. I propose to devote all my time and all my, ability and all my strength to the abolition of all import duties on raw sugar, a most wicked tax on a food necessity of all our people. It tax- es the man who works for a wage of a dollar a day ag it taxes an Astor or Mr. Morgan or Mr. Rocke- feller. Bach eats, or at least needs, the same amount of sugar, and chey pay, not according to their ability, but according to their needs, reversing an elemental rule of taxation. “Just look at these figuree show- ing how the price of refined sugar to the consumer is made up. I dis- regard the abnormal price lately prevailing for the raw product and take a normal price. “Price paid by New York refin- ers for raw sugar 2.4 cents. “Duty a pound 1.685 cents. “With the raw sugar costing the refined 4.085 cents a pound, his granulated sugar is about 4.90 cents a pound and the wholesale grocer’s né€. price to the New York retai) gro- cers a pound is about 4.95 cents the retail grocer’s pricesto co8um- ers was between 5.15 and 5.25 cents @ pound. So that for every pound of sugar going into a household in New York city at 5.25 cents per pound the government of the United States has exacted 1.685 cents, or almost one-third of the total price. It means that every householder that now buys three anda half pounds of sugar could for the same money buy five and one-quarter pounds if this tax were removed. “If, as some one has said, sugar is the comfort of old age and the jdelight of youth, your Uncle Sam }is engaged in taking candies from children, the height of meanness.

Five States, Mazsachusette, Rhode Island, Mary- land, Mississippi and Kentucky will ebect -Governors. Legislatures and State officers will be elected in othb- er States. Leslie’s Weekly, in a brief review of the political outdook, Says Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land choose Governors every year. Both are generally carried by. the Republicans, but in the Demoeratic tidal wave of 1910, Massachussetts was swept by theDemocrats andEu- gene N. Foss was chosen. Rhode Isiand remained with the Republi- cans. As Governor Fosse has been renominated and as his re-election would make him a rather prominent figure im the Democratic national convention in 1912, his canvase will attract attention. Maryland, Mis Sissippl and Kentucky are generallg carried by the Democrats, although Kentucky’s present Governor, cho- sen in 1907, Augustus E, Wilson, is @ Republican. Several timea, begin- ning with 1896, Maryland was carried by the Republicans forPres- ident, and once,or twice it elected Republican Governors. Kentucky was won by theRepublicns in 1896 also. Local issues will be para- mount in each of these two States in 1911, but the nearness of the presidential canvass will bring na- tional issues up to some extent. In each of these States the Repubh- eane have a strong ticket and they are making an active canvass, but the Democrats expect to win. In Mississippi, of course, there is Practically only one party. Mr Taft received only 4,300 votes in Mississippi in 1908, as c>mpared with 60,000 for Mr. Bryan. The Democrats will have an easy victory there, but in the other four States there is some uncertainty, with the chances in favor of the Repub licane in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

As Henry G. Hea- | secretary of the New Orleans Co Exchange,points out,a yield | of 1,765,362 fewer bales brought $545,205,506 more because of the higuer price.

WHEAT AND OOTTON. Some weeks ago the Raleigh ‘Times said in effect that the op- ponents of reciprocity who “pointed with pride’ to the rise in the Price of wheat after the election in Canada, should explain why, the Piice of cotton decreased, notwith- standing the cotton revision Dil! was vetoed ®y the President. The Landmark copied what the Times had to say and remarked that while it did not believe the view in either case was the correct one, that one was as logical as the other—that if the defeat of reciprocity means @ higher price for American grain then the failure of the cotton re vision bill should have meant a higher price, or at least mo decrease in the price of cotton. The Kinston Free Press copied the Fyemerks of the Times and The Landmerk, and contending that the cases are not parallel, says: The only avowed purpose of the reciprocity pact was to let in grain and other agricultural pro- @ucts free, so as to “lessen the cost of living to the consumers.” Grain dealers evidently took the view that the proposed results of reciproctiy would be the actual re- @ults of the policy if carried out; for when the defeat of the agree- ment shut the gates which seemed to be about open, the outside sup- ply that was anticipated by these dealers was headed off, and as a consequence the American supply appreciated in value. Om the other hand the cotton bill did not purport to deal with | Faw cotton, the price of which has | gone down; and only indirectly could it have affected raw cotton, even if at all. And the’ cotton bill had not the least reference to | any outside supply of raw cotton awaiting only the removal of duties to come in acrose an imaginary line @nd take possession of American Markets. The avowed purpose of | the cotton bill was to lessen the | cost of cotton manufacturing which, if done, might enlarge the output | of the mills, and possibly increase the demand for the raw material. But it was only in this round-about | and indirect way that the demand | for the raw material could be fos- tered by the proposed bill; and it | did not in any way purport to af- fect the supply. of raw cotton. The purpose of the reciprocity | Pact was to permit freer trade be- | tween this country and Canada, which was believed to be beneficial sions, and he always made it | ben jhardly obtain jor jtions of the inmates of the | Prison; to surround them with such ;comforts and pleasures as will make| them enjoy their enforced stay there.} — | riighteous'«* iW. | Greeusboro lin |tionists j evidence raise a surplus. The people pay more for cotton goods on account of ine tariff but the farmer takes his chances in the markets of the world. There was a lot of talk about free Canadian wheat hurting the farmer, but it was really the lumber trust and other trusts that feared they would lose by the ex- change with Canada and that once » breach was made in the tariff wall and the people saw the bene- fits of freer trade, the whole pro- tective tariff stnucture would be en- dangered. Many years ago an Alexander county youth fell into the hands of the law for some alleged indis- cretion and was sent to the State prison for a term. Life at that in- stitution was not to his Nking and he wrute home to his folks that he was not at all pleased with t situaticn. For years, while editor of The Landmark, Mr. J. P. Cald- well used to quote the language af the Alexander boy on various occa~ hit to this home the mark. This is preliminary saying that another citizen of vicinity has written to folks from the penitentiary, it is understood, that he is not at all pleased with life there, the citizen aforesaid being Mr. Reuben Combs. Reuben, it wiill be recalled, was moved last spring to put out of the wav his bride of four months. Most people acquainted with the facts felt and still) feel that Reu- ben's proper place was in the elec- tric chair of the State prison for the few moments necessary, to turn on the current; and when he escaped with a sentence of 30 years in the State prison, it was felt that Reu- had cause for congratulation Reuben, however, complains that life in the State prison is not exactly to his taste and as he can a pardon for a year two, it might be well to start i movement to improve the condi- State was a pleasure to all believ- law enforcement to hear one principal speakers of the U. convention declare that Stands first in the en- forcement of the State prohibition jlaw.

SHEEP THAT KILLED A DOG. A Breed That Should Be Oultivated in’ North Carolina. Charlotte Chronicle. The attention of Major William H. Bernard, of Wilmin has been at- tracted to a story of k dog-killi sheep and he sends it to thezoologi editor of the Chronicleto passon. No less a paper than the Louisville Cou- rier-Journal is responsible forit. The story goes that in the county of Gib- son, in the State of Indiana, a certain farmer purchased a sheep. Regard- less of the well-known antipathy be- tween dogs and sheep he turned the animal into the barnyard, where his dog was accustomed to run at large, keeping more or less vigilant watch over the pigs and cows, the crib and haystacks, the chicken house and the farmimplements. Dur- ing the night the sheep attacked the dog and killed him. Inthe cold, gray dawn when the farmer hustled out to feed the stock he listened in vain for Towser’s welcoming voice. He found out the reason when he found Towser in a fence corner, stiff as a poker, cold as a wedge and s hless forev- ermore. Nearby wast art show- ing symptoms of ghoulish glee, ma- levolence in his eye and canine blood on his horns. ibson county pays for sheep killed by dogs, but there is no county in the world which pays for dogs killed by sheep. In fact, it has been the general belief in bucolic regions that ‘‘thereain’t no sich thing’’ as a dog-killing sheep. But the Indi- ana farmer knows better—and knows it to his sorrow, for good dogs are scarce. He had heard thatthe county paid for sheep killed by dogs, and he lowed, by granny, that it ought to pay for dogs killed by sheep nthe strength of his belief he submitted a claim for the value of one dog slaugh- tered with malice aforethought by a }cruel and ferocious sheep. The cold- |chequer promptly consigned the claim ito the cuspidor and somewhat sarcas- |tically inquired of the farmer as to | what was eatinghim Wherefore, the farmer went home declaring his in- |tention of voting fora new adminis- |tration, and deploring the official ob- | stinacy that could not recognize any |merit in a claim for the loss of a good coon dog. It isa poor rule that does not work both ways, but the wisdom of Indiana statesmanship has never |been equal to foreseeing a situation wherein an unfortunate dog should be ; murdered by a bloodthirsty sheep.

Attendants in Insane Asylums Sel- dom Lose Their Reason. Washington Post, Although forced constantly to asso- | ciate with insane persons, physicians and nurses at insane asylums lose | their reason less frequently than any | other class, according to a statement | made recently by Dr. George H. | Schwin, assistant superintendent of! the Government Hospital for the In-| sane. It followed the verdict of a ju-| ¥ inthe District Supreme Court that iss Edna Moore, formerly a nurse in an asylum, is now insane and will | have to be confined in the govern- | ment hospital. | Miss Moore, at one time a nurse in| a private asylum in Baltimore, went} violently insane and on several occa- | sions attempted to commit $8uicide, | according to testimony given at her | trial. Her mother said that her mind | had been wrecked through constant | association with the insane people she | attended. She is now closely watch- | ed at the asylum to prevent her from | taking her own life. Dr. Schwin, an expert alienist, de- | clared that this is the first case he has | { ever heard of a nurse or other attend- ant in an asylum who became mental- | ly unbalanced. Strange as it may | seem, he said, people who mingle ath | crazy people are seldom nervous an | keep their mental balance better than | others. The words and actions of the | insane have little effect on them, he! declared. | “I think there have been very few) cases like Miss Moore’s,’’ said Dr. | Schwin. ‘‘Visitors to insane asylums | often make the remark that they would soon go crazy if forced to re-| main with the insane for any length of time. Asa matter of fact, insanity | is not in any way contagious.”’ i Eo ea 0 EO LOTS, 50x150. Sol POR SALE. ict tune and salseh 0 LOST —TAN SHEPHERD male pup. Left) Elmwood Saturday. 14th.

Charitable neigh- bors took in the family and a few hours after his removal the patient died. The hardheartedness of the landlord who had driven a dying man and his poor family out of their home for the sake of a few dollars, had caused considerable feeling among the tenants, especially among the wo- men, who sympathized with the wid- ow and children of the dead consump- tive. When Laskowitz arrived atthe house, the women surrounded him, , calling him ‘‘murderer’”’ and ‘‘blood- sucker’’ and threatening him with heaven’s vengeance. Laskowitz re- treated and slipped quietly away through a side street. He had. walk- ;ed about two blocks when he felt so weak that he had to sit down on a doorstep. Suddenly he pressed his hand to his heart and toppled over on- to the sidewalk. A doctor was call- jed, but when he arrived he found | Laskowitz dead from heart disease. |. The women of the district feel quite |certain that Laskowitz’s sudden death | was the punishment for his hardheart- | edness. {It is natural to think that Lasko- witz’s sudden death was a judgment, but it is more probable that the man jhad heart disease and that the excite- ment of the incident so affected his heart as to cause his death; and that similar é¢xcitement under other cir- cumstances would have had the same effect. While the denunciation was deserved the women who denounced him are really responsible for his death.—The Landmark. } One Magazine Objects to Freight Transportation. views, a monthly magazine, have ap- fied to the Pedaraent in New| ork for a peliminary injunction re- straining Postmaster-General Hitch-| cock from sending the Review of Re- | views by freight while other maga-| zines are being sent by fast passenger | mail express.

Best Known American: Aviators Falls to Death at Ma- con, Ga, Where He Was Exhib- iting For the State Fair. Macon, Ga., Dispatch, 19th. Eugene Ely, the well Known avia- tor, was fatally injured at the State fair grounds here this afternoon, Shortly after 3 o’clock, when his aeroplane refused to rise after a sensational dip and plunged with him 50 feet to the ground. In the presence of nearly, 8,000 people he fell to the middle of the inclosure of the mile track, almost clearing the machine by a desperate leap that he made when. hé realized his peril. His body was broken in a soore of places and he died 11 Just rBefore the end he regained con- Sciougness and muttered: ‘I Jost qontrol—-I know I am going to die.” Ely made a record fight this amorning shortly before noon, as- eending to an altitude of 3,100 feet At 2.45 o'clock he begaf his sec- he circled in. a few minutes, travel-| ing at about 30 miles an hour, As he was completing the circle, he made one of his famous dips, ap- parently beneath him who with straining eyes. The bird-like | machine shot down with tremen- dous velocity, the crowd applauded, | thinking that the aviator would | rise as he had done countless | times before. But Bly seemed to/| lose his grip on the lever, for the | machine continued its downward | plunge to the earth. | Realizing his peril, Ely, released | the lever altogether and half jump- ed, barely clearing the aeroplane | as jt crashed to the ground. It ‘was)| demolished, bits of wood and meta! | flying hundreds of feet. } Ely struck with terrific force Scores rushed across the track to where he lay,a_ broken,bloody,inert mass,to offer himaid. He was ten- were watching | derly removed from beneath the w'eckage, which covered him. The vast crowd, excited and @urious, jrushed forward, but were kept in j}order by the police Efforts were | made to resuscitate the aviator, but jhe onty gained consciousness for a |moment before his death. Even in | his unconscious state, his physical agony was manifest Ely was the first man to alight on the deck of a warship with an |aeroplare. During an aviation meet |held ir: San Mateo county, Cal., Ely, jin a bip»lane, flew from the aviation lcamp to San Francisco, a distance j}of about 20 miles, and alighted on jthe deck of the cruiser Pennsy!- Vania, which was andechored in San Francisco bay. After holding a re- ception on board the warship, Ely |flew from the ship back to the jcamp and landed safely. | Previous to this time Ely had |made a flight from the deck of a |}warstup anchored in Chesap e} jbay.

Representatives of labor in the tobacco industry were also pres ent, including Eugene Clifford, of Chicago, attorney for the Interna- tional Cigarmakers’ Union, and Daniel Morris, formerly president of the union. Resolutions were adopted con- demning the plan as/ not effective jin bringing about competitive condi- jtions ard it was voted that the organizations’ presidents should se- lect one representative to form an advisory committee. This committee meet next Tuesday afternoon outlined. The associations represented were the National Cigar Leaf To- bacco Association, Cigar Manufac- turers’ Association of America, Lea*’ Tobacco Growers’ Association from various sections, Internation- | al Cigarmakers’ Union, Independent Tobacco Manufacturers’ Association, Independent Tobacconists’ Associa- ion, Independent Tobacco Sales- man’s Association, Chicago Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, Philadel- puia Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade ‘Danville, Vs., duly 1th Yo10.

We do not know as yet wheth- er we will oppose it or not Al- though we are inclined to think that we will do so from what we have read of the plan, it is possible that we will decide not to offer objec- | tion.’ | The position of Attorney General | Wickersham has not yet been an- nounced and the stand he may take | is the most interesting point to be revealed at the coming hearing Attorney General Bickett declar- ed that the situation was intoler- | able that the tobacco States would no longer submit to anything | but a disintegration of the monop- | oly. ‘“‘Why it was almost hion with the abused growers, in | some sections, the night riders took a hand,’ he said. “The trust fixed the price and that, the growers had to accept or the alternative of letting their crops He estab- | rot.” Asked about the report of con- templating criminal prosecution,Mr. Bickett said that all depended up- born in Iowa, was given a commis- |0n the future, the desire now being ision as lieutenant in the Califor- | | nia national guard. | = | Bigger Things For Veterans Next Yéar.

C., Special, 19th, to Charlotte Observer. ‘ Among the true bills returned b the United States Circuit Court in session here is one against a man named Palmer, a resident of Oconee county, the indictment being for alleged conspiracy against a Fed- eral officer in the discharge of du- ty, and also with murder. It ap- pears from the record that Palmer had been sentenced in the State courts to life imprisonment for murder, and was pardoned by Gov- ernor Blease some time ago. The case brought against the man in the Federal Court is an unusu- al one. The case is the outgrowth of the killing of United States Deputy Corbin, who went to Oco- nee county to serve a warrant on a rélative of Palmer, and it is al- leged that Palmer anda number of his partisans attacked the officer from ambush, killing him and his brotuer, who accompanied him. Palmer was tried for this crime and sentenced te Hfe imprisonment, and as stated is now a free man, having been pardoned by the Governor, It oow appears that the .government will try him on the same charge Witnesses have been summoned and the case may come up @arly next week. rebel- | ‘/ the newer Gold Plated China.

The war between Italy and Tur- key has not, and probably will not, develop into a war worthy the name, but another step in the Ital- ian occupation of Tripoli was made last Thursday when the Italian fleet bombarded Benghazi, % city of Tripoli, and landed 4,000 men, who after a brief. battle took pos- session of the town. The Turks re- fused to surrender and made a stub- born resistance. Charged with using the mails to defraud and to promote a lottery whereby they secured nearly a half million dollars, Richard Purvis, president of the Southern Loan & Trust Co., of Atlanta, and three other officers of the same concern have been indicted by the Federal grand jury.

XXXVIIL GOOD ROAD TO TURNERSBURG. Two Miles of Sand Olay—Macadpam Should Be Repatred. There is now a good road al] the way from Statesville toTurnersburg, @ distance of 12 miles. Portions of the road from Statesville to Turners- burg were formerly about the woret in the county. This is the Toad to Statesville for a large section of north Iredell. Ia the was something awful. It was ‘“‘kill- ing’’ on teams and the’ wear and tear on vehicles and harness and the patience of travelers, was some- thing to be dreaded. Now over a g0od road the trip is pleasant and the saving on teams, vehicles and harness, the time»sayed and the larger loads hauled, amounts to in- finitely more than al) the road tax that has been paid or ever will be paid; and these items are by mo means all the benefits of good roads. The last two miles of the Tur- nereburg road is sand clay and it has just been completed. The re- mainder of the road is macadam. The chain gang has done this work mod it is yet at work at Turners- burg. A new bridge is being built across Rocky creek at Turnersburg, at a new location, and the road has been cut out beyond the creek to the old road. be completed to that point doubtless to the Yadkin line It has been suggested that chain gang, and macadam roads.

Hub. Bennett, whoee arrest was mentioned in Tuesday's Landmark, was given a hearing before Justice | King on charges of assault with | intent to kill and carrying a con- cealed weapon, and in defauk of | bond was remanded to jai! to await | Superior Court. Bennett's offence | was committed about two years ago | at a negro festival held at’ the home of Armistead Pearson at Bel- mont. According to the evidence a row was started in the house by Bennett and others and Pearson orderet the trouble-makers out of the house Pearson was standing in the dcor of the house when Bennett walked out into the yard and drawing hie pistol fired sev- eral shots ai Pearson. Pearson re- ceived a slight flesh wound and anothér ts! entered the thigh of Will Rickert, who was inside the house. Henue‘t left the communi- ty and managed bo avoid arrest un- til a few days ago, when he return- ed to his old haunts and fell into the hands of Deputy Sheriff Ward. He had a pist.l on his person when arrested but made no attempt to uge the weapon. W.W.Gaither and StokesCrawford the latter colored, were tried before Justice Turner Wednesday for an affray which took place Tuesday. Each was fined $2 and half cost. Crawford was algo required to give bond for his appearance at Supe- rior Court for resisting an officer. In the municipal court Wednesday Jlaude Mills, white, was placed un- der $150 bond for his appearanc® at the higher oourt to answer a charge of retailing, and Fred Johnson, colored, gave $50 bond for his appearance for trial for an as Sault with a deadly weapon on Ciyde Moore.

While there were a good many country people in town for the event, Downie & Wheeler's show failed to attract the ueual circus crowd to Statesvite Tuesday and the attendance at the perform- ances was not large. The show had many ctrous features and the performance was about ali that was expected, but the ‘“kick’’ of most of those who attended was on account of the price. It cost more to see the whole of the show than is charged by some of the big circuses. The parade was spread out long enough but its make-up waa ordinary. Superior Court Next Week.

Realizing the value of antitoxin /a8 an immunizing and curative agent for diphtheria, Dr. C. A. Shore, of |the State Laboratory of Hygiene, on | behalf of the State Board of Health, |has completed arrangements with ithe leading manufacturers of anti- the people of North Carolina at the following prices: 1,000 units (immunizing dose), |ccmplete with syringe, 50 cents; regular retail price, $2; 3,000 umits | (curative dose), complete with syr- |inge, $1.35; reguJar price, $5; 5,- }000 units (curative dosé), complete |with eyringe, $1.95; regular retail | price, $7.50. | In csosing this contract Dr. |Shore has followed in the foot- [steps of the larger States of the Union, and it is hoped that’ the same results will be obtained and that the death rate from diphthe ria will be very materially decreas- ed. Certainly the price of antitoxin should no longer prevent its being used forthe treatment of diphtheria. Through the efforts of the State Board of Health it is now wéthin the reach of all. Agents have been appointed in the various counties to distribute the antitoxin at the prices named and the agents im Iredell and vicin- ity are: Statesville, W. F. Hall's drug store; Moorcsville, Miller-White company; -Gatawba, J. U. Long; Wilkesboro, White Drug Co.; Yad- kinville, Dr. T. R. Harding; New- ton, Freeze Drug Co.; Hickory, C. M.. Shuford. The State Board of Health also urges city councils and county com- |missloners to arrange for the free jdietribution of antitoxin to those | unabbe to buy even at the prices named. 18 THE WORLD GROWING BETTER?

The McHvide Trial and Other Cas- |The Brazilian Plan to Raise Price of Ooffee Recommended Ootton, But Believed to Be practicable, | Balttmore Sun ; It is announced that a New York }cotton operator, Mr. Theodore H | Price,will adcress the coming Cou- |fefence of Cotton States Governors in favor of imitating the Brazilian }scheme for artificially maintaining | the price of coffee. | The world’s output of coffee | for the year 1905-06 was 14,731,- }000 sacks of 132 pounds each, of | which Brazil produced 11,251,000, or tll offered on the local |roughly, three-quarters of the to- |tal. Consumption was figured at 10,000,000 sacks, having doubled |; within the last 30 years, and the \Price during the two previous dec- jades had been getting steadily jlower. The next year, 1906-07, |tpocuced a bumper crop which left |the Brazilian planters under the ne- jcessity of either marketing some | 8,000,000 more bags than the world would consume at current prices, or else suffering the effects of a ruinous collapse in prices. To meet |this situation the two leading cof- fee States of Brazil—Sao Paola and Minas Geraes, the latter subse- quently backed out—undertook to buy up the surplus and keep it stored and insured umtil it could be profitably marketed. Loans were raised upon the security of the coffee of about $30,000,000 and an export tax of 60 cents imposed in Order to defray the expenses of carrying it. These sums, however, were found to be insufficient An arrangement was finally concluded whereby $75,000,000 was borrowed, the 5 per cent. interest being guar- anteed by the central Brazilian gov- ernment, planting of new trees was forbidden by means of a prohibito- ry tax, the export tax was maised tou $1 and every sack in excess of 9,000,600 for that year, plus 500,- 000 more for each succeeding year, was to pay a 20 per cent. ad valo- rem tax. Further, the State of Sao Paola bound itself not to buy any more coffee or to contract any further loans prejudicial to this one. The Brazilians calculated that there would y;robably be a bad crop the next year after the bumper,ow- ing to exhaustion of the trees, and that it would take six years for any hew trees planted to bear fruit. So if, in the meantime, they could re- strict the output in their own coun- try and raise the price by means of a tax on their own newly planted trees and an export tax upon all coffee within 1,600,000 sacks of the total world’s consumption, they would be able to save themselves. In February, 1911, the Secretary of State of Gao Paola reported that the supply in storage had been re- duced to 6,300,000 sacks. Some of this had been sold at 8 cents a pound. Since then more has been marketed, some of it at even better prices. In August, 1907, coffee grade* No. 7 was quoted at 6.39 cents a pound. In August, 1911, the same grade was quoted at 10.- 20 cents—50 per cent. increase—~ and 1% ceuts higher than what it had been in 1906. The average price for all grades imported into the United States in 1911 was 11.8 cents. Production has not so far increased outside of Brazil. It would seem, therefore, that the valerization scheme, which so many persons, including Brazilians, considered unsound, is successful. But then the scheme is an entirely temporary arrangement, adopted to meet a particular situation. It is obvious that if prices were continu, ally raised by artificial means, Sao Paola coffee would meet competition by the increased planting heath in other States of Brazil and else- where. It will -be, -indeed, interesting to see how Mr. Price proposes to ap- ply the scheme to the cotton belt. Sao Paolo has just about 2,000,000 acres under coffee, most of it in large estates, and the coffee trees are as easy to count as cedars, In 1910 there were 34,000,000 acres of cottcn under cultivation in the United States on farms of all sizes, which would seem to make it a more difficult proposition to warehouse the cotton crop than the Sao Paolo coffee crop One of the troubles with oot- tou at present is that it ia the best inedium forthe farmer to raise money on So cotton is planted where it is not especially remumer- ative and other crops would do bet- cer. May rot the ultimate solution of the cotton growers’ problem be rather along lines of more diversi- fied farm'nge than of artificial ma- nipulation of the crop? For the present thar may be necessary, however,as a measure of self-pro- tection from the speculators and exploiters who have made the cot- ton grower their prey.

SS “‘SONCORD AND PROHIBITION, They have organized a law and erder Jeague at Conoord to secure the enforcement of the prohibition law. Acconiing to all accounts, Goneord is in a mighty bad way wo far as prohibition is concerned. Moathe age the Times stated that publie sentiment in Concord did mot sustain the law. Formerly much whiekey was sold in Concord drug stores avd after the advent of Matewide prohibition liquor clubs Wprang up and flourished. It has been openly charged that violations ef the law were winked at; that the law js violated more or less openly. The ministers have recently taken @ hand and their interference ts wesented by the element which sym- pathizes with the lax enforcement et the law, which element seems to be im the ascendancy. Says the Wribunb on this point: Ke is a distressing state of affairs fa any community when ministers who attempt ‘to do battle against Bawiessness and to create a healthy public sentiment for law enforce- ment are accused of “intolerant meddling in politics,” and are vil- Mfied on the street-corners by peo- ple who either sympathize with the law-breakers or are indifferent es to the administration of the law. @oncord is of course in 0 worte condition than some other eommunities, but The Landmark is mentioning it to hark back a little. @oneord was one of the first towns im the Stiate to adopt prohibition. Loag before other towns had voted wus barrooms, and long before State wide prohibition was thought pos- gible, Concord was dry so far as the legalized sale of liquor was con- eerned. In the dim and distant | past, when Statesville was yet in th¢<' “gall of bitterness and the bonds ef iniquity.’"” Concord was held up to} we on all occasions as a_ sort of heaven here below; where all was penee and happiness and prosperity The sumerous cotton mille in the @own had been built there, it was) maid, because the town was dry. Wiolations of the law were 50 ware, we were told, that they had But one policeman and he had zmothing to do. It is true that amperted, at that time, that they gold more liquor to some of the) Goacord drug stores than to some Barrooms, but this assertion was east aside as an invention of the @memy. Concord, we were assured, was the ideal town and it was held up on all occasions as a burn- | amg anda shining light; as an ex- ample for all other towns. Now it must be a’fact that Con- eord either never reached the state of perfection pictured, or it has retrograded fearfully. If con- ditions there were anything like they were painted, ten and 15 years ago, then it is a fearful in- | @ictment of prohibition that the town has so lapsed. The truth is, that while conditions may be a little worse now than in former years, Concord never was what it} was held up to be. To judge by its present admitted state, it was, when it was held ap as a shining example, a whited sepulcher, ap- perently clean from the outside wiewpo'nt, but within “full of] @ead men’s bones and all unclean- This is another instance of the| ‘error we often fall into of judging | by appearances. liquor was sold, Statesville acquir- @d a great reputation as a “liquor town’’ simply because of the whole- @ale liquor business here. The re- tail business was never large, was fairly well managed and there was | as little public drunkenness and Towdyism as could be found in any | town where Liquor was sold. In Point of public morality it is now and has slways been one of the ‘eleanest towns in the State. These remarks are not made to | Say uukind ,things of Concord, | which num‘ers in ite citizenship @s good people as can be found any- where.

After jhe had gone a day or two his fath- er got a telegram from New Orleans requesting that he send $70 to him. Not understanding thie, Mr. Shel- ton wrote him a letter and in due time got another telegram say- ing that the letter arrived and that he had found $20 would be suffi- cient. Suspecting something crook- ed, Mr. Sheiton nevertheless wired $20. In a short time came a card from the young man who had reached his destination safely, and further correspondence developed the fact that he had not wired for the money. It was not an unusual bunco game. Some crook in New Orieans had managed to find out enough to pull off the stunt. Cured by MILAM Oldest and Most Severe Cases Yield Readily | | i Factory Mgr.

J, EVANS, Oct. 8, Preakdent Brens Hardware Co. WORK — HOME RVENQSAN CALIFORNIA. Me. Morrison ‘Tells What Has Been Correspondents of The Landmark. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 14— Through The Landmark I keep in touch with the trend of events around the old homestead. Now let Me say a word or two about what is taking place in the great Btate ot California. A year ago by a coalition of pro- giesaive Democrats and Republi- cans, we elected a Governor (Hi- ram Jobnson) and a _ Legiskature tha: has done more, in one short year, to wrench the State from Southern Pacific railroad domina- tion and put upon our statute books lawe tending to direct legi ’ than all the Legislatures that have eet since California was admitted to the Unton—-50 years or more ago. That clection was the result of 4 good government movement, and the people of the State spoke again last Tuesday, 10th, under good gov- ernment management and ratified the action of the Governor and the Legislature overwhelmingly—tratify- ing every amendment to the consti- tuliofi that the Legislature had passed. Prominent among the amendments are woman euffrage, initiative, referendum and recall of all state and county officers, even to judges; a 30-day. recess in the middle of a legislative ses- sion, a railroad commission with power (not dummies), et cetera. The amendment carrying woman suffrage had the closest call to de- feat, but pulled through with a very respectable majority, between two and three thousand. San Fran- cisco, the great metropolis of the West, that gneat city built at the Goiden Gate, that great city that was shaken to pieces and burnt up aad then rose up out of her ashes more beautiful and glorious than before, had the audacity to roll up a big majority against the suf- frage amendment, which was very quickly turned into a good majority for suffrage by the balance of the State. It was very noticeable that wherever the hiquor interests dominated they were very unwilling to give the women a chance to vote. But all glory to the State of California! Her male voters, or a good majority of them, possessed enough appreciation and self-re- spect to grant to the blessed women who have equalHy as much if not More interest in good government, and who are juet as vitally inter ested in the comfort and protection of home as the men, the right to vote. Our success here in the West is largely. due to the ability of the people to pull together in common. ven the women here can agree and work to one common end. To illustrate, a jury of 12 women sat upon a case in San Francisco and promptly rendered an unanimous Bazzard Interrupted Electric Our- rent and Excited a Household. Davidson Dispatch to Charlote Ob- server. The local cotton milla charge the loss on Saturday of nearly a day's run to the action of a well-known Dird of the air buzzard by name, which committed suicide in the act of stoppin the mills. The fowl lighted of a live wire just north- east of town, about 100 yards from the home of Mr. Jim Gibbs. As a matter of fact it lighted on the wire where it rests on the supporting Pole and touched the other wire and pro- duced a circuit. Instantly the bind Groped to the ground, ite feathers singed and the elbow joint of ite wings burned off, save for a few ligaments that held the parts to- Bether. The electric wire snapped @t once and fell finst upon some wires supporting a grape arbor. The electric display and flashing of fire along these smaller wires was Bomething altogether spectacular and startling. As the big wire fel) against the ground, writhing and lashing the ground in its seeming fury, it discharged great snake- like prongs of brilliant fire, 10 or 15 feet long, that were fearful to see. Mr. Gibbs, who was lying in bed, where he had been confined for several days with chilla and fev- er, when he Baw the seemimg ap- Proach of the liquid fire, instantly recovered from his inability and jumped out of ped. He states that another pick occupant of the room, whose physical disabilities had been of even longer standing, felt sim- jlarly impelled to active movement and renounced his reclining posture with like rapidity.

We who are unlucky enough to be the tuxpayers are shaking in our boots for fear of having to be imprisoned in our court house for the next six and eight or tem months on this trial. It looks now as though they would have to call and examine gelea county in order to secure a jury. A great batthe is on appar ently between capital and organ- {zed labor in this trial. In the words of Judge B. F. Long, of Statesville, during a lynching in Rowan county « few yearsago while he was hold‘ve court in that coun- ty, “God Almighty ruies and the law is suptéme.’’ May justice hold her balance eren, very even, in this trial.

KOT AN OLD-PIME SHUCKING. A correspondent writes the Mocksville Record as follows: An old-time corn shucking was given at the home of Mr. J. E. Shutt last Friday. night, about 50 boys and girls being present. In the red ear contest Miss Lola Bi lis was the lucky one and won the ticket to the show, finding 29 red wars. After the corn was shucked the good time came, which was Serving chicken pie and pumpkin pie. After supper the ladies were entertained by piano and violin mu- @ic, while the boys were enjoying the game of pulling Tige’s~ tail. Cc. C. March and W. L. Shutt seem- #d to be the best at that, as the @cratchers were not able to part them. Thie wasn't “an old-time shuck- ing”; it was only an imitation. At the old-time shuckings the main feature, first, was to divide the torn pile by running a fence rail through the middle and two cap- taing chose the shuckers for a Tace. One captain got first choice of the ends of the pile and the ther first choice of the shuckers. Then they fell te and shucked like all ,ossessed to see which could finish the task first. A part of the inspiration of the race was a jug with a corn cob stopper, in the fence corner.

Samson @aw a maiden of the Philistines that pleased -him and he was not satisfied until he se cured her for his wife. On the way to the wedding ceremony he killed a lion and later discovered that some bees had made honey in the carcass. He then made a rid} die which he propounded to his swests and, if answered, he was to give each who answered it a new suit of clothes. I. they failed to answer it, each of the 30 young men was to present him with « sew suit. The young men could not answer the riddle, but they went to Sam- son's wife and told her that unless She found out the answer to the riddle they would burn her in her house. She cried around Samson until she worried him into telling her the answer to the riddle and Samson thus lost his bet.

OCOWPEAS FOR GREEN MANURE. The Vines Should Not Be Out and} Removed But Turned Under— Damage to Land By Removal and Their Value as Manure. J. L. Burgess, N. C. Dept. Agnicul- ‘ouure Who has not heard of the cow- pea ag a hay-making and a sollim- proving plant? And whio has not been led to believe that one-third Or more of the nitrogen and other Plant food elements found im this Plant at maturity, are left in the roots and stubble after the crop ie harvested and cured for hay-—that is to Bay, out of every hundred pounds of nitrogen, etc., found tin the pea crop at maturity, 33 1-3 Ibs are the roots and stubble? This was our best infonmation up to a short time ago and even’ now some of our best agricultural ad- visers insist on proverbial third of the nitrogen, etc., being left im the underground portion of the plant. Like the old tdea of the souring of the soil on well-drained land, some man seems to have guessed at the amount of nitrogen, etc., left in the roots and stubble and hastened to rush hie ideas into print. Now a ton of cured cowpeas has, in the whole plant, about 40 lbs. of ottrogen If one-third of this amount were in the roots and stub- ble, we would have left on the soil and in the soil about 14 ids. of available nitrogen per acre in case the acre produced a ton of cowpea hay. This amount of nitro- gen is equal to that furnished by 700 lbs. of an 8-2-2 fertilizer—a |pretty heavy application for most farm crops.

All persons indebted to said estate will please make immediate corner; thence | our friends know that weare || stations, it has been found that the amount of nitrogen, etc., left im the roots and stubble of the cow- pea plant is not onethird but about onetenth of that found im the whiole plant. Here seems to be one of the leading factors in the ex- planation of the running down of average soiis by the annual remova! lof the pea crop. Another, and, per-| | hape the leading factor, is that al! | the organic matter is removed from | the soil for a series of years) by | this method and thus all bacterial |Hfe is driven from the land which ‘is thereby rendered dead. These j}dead soils are not necessarily rob- |bed of their mimeral plant foods, |}Lowever, as wil] be demonstrated |by plowing down a cowpea crop or ¢ }good crop of rye for a year or itwo in succession | One ton of gteen cowpea vines | contain about 5.5 lbs. of nitrogen: 2 ios. of phosphate and 6 Ibs. of | potash It ‘s an easy matter, on Javerage Boil, to get a growth of 12 ‘ons of some cne of the rank }erowing vy vieties per acre, which | will cure up into three tons of hay. | }Compos.tion of green cowpea vines | | compared with composition of | fresh horse and cow Manure | | Nitrogen Phosphate Potash | Green “ow Pea Vines 54 20 6 | Fresh Cow Manure 74& 14 7 { Fresh Horse Manure 8.7 1.9 7.3 | With this yield per acre there} |would be produced on a ten-acre | field 120 tons of green pea vines} which, if cut to pieces with a sharp disc harrow, plowed under | and thoroughly...incorporated with | the whole soi] stratum, would add} jto this field about 650 Ibs. of nitro- gen and render available 240 Ibs. | jot phosphate and about 750 lbs of potash. By thus using the pea crop as) green Manure,the farmer gets from | the air as much nitrogen in the! first ten inches of the soil of his | 10-acre field as he would ‘get from | 86 tons of manure or from 16 tons | of an 8-2-2 fertilizer. He gets as| much phosphate rendered available | to the succeeding crop as he would get from 150 tons of manure or | from 1% tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer. | The potash thus rendered available is equal to that obtaimed from over | 100 tons of manure or from nearly | 19 tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer. And | the humus obtained from this amount of vegetable matter turned | into the soil will be sufficient to feed bacterial life for years to come and will add immensely to mechanical conditions and water-| holding capacity of the land. The results of having lost sight of the fact that the humus or or- ganic matter content of the soi! is | the basis of all successful farming | have been appalling, not only in| North Carolina but over the whole | South.

Soldiers Not to Have Ohicken— Oost of Feed Reduced, Washington Dispatch. The elimination of chicken from the army menu, the limitation of turkey to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the substitution of so-called “field bread” for hard tack and the abolishment of the field ration sum up the important changes in the army ration for the American soldier made during the past year, according to the report of Commissary General Henry G. Sharpe. The elimination of chicken has resulted in a yearly saving to the government of $52,000. It cost the United States 16.14 cents a day more to feed the American sol- dier in Alaska than it did those sta- tioned in the United States. This is| declared to be due principally to the cost of beef and its transportation to the isolated posts in the tertitory. _ The daily average cost of the ra- tions issued during the year in the United States alone was 22.75 cents; 4, Alaska, 38.89; Hawaii, 24.10; Porto Rico, 28.72; aboard transports, 23,52; American soldiers in the Philippines, 24.56, and the native soldiers in the Philippines, 14.57. Even the Philippine Islands shows a greater average cost per diem per man. The report shows the average cost per year per man in the United States to be $106.96 and in the Philip- pincs $114.21, or an average cost! per diem in the former of 29.03 cents | and in the latter of 31.29 cents. The report says that out of a total of $11,864,894 spent during the year for subsistence only four-fifths of 1| a cent., or $96,906, is accredited to | osses from such causes as ordinary wastage in issue and transportation, | deterioration from climatic causes, | left and property worn out. | A New Bread For the Army. — | Washington Dispatch. Field bread, so-called, because it! will be issued to soldiers in the field | when soft bread cannot be served, | has been adopted by the army as a} substitute for hard tack. This bread | is cooked in the field ovens and can} be transported much easier than or- dinary fresh bread.

Warm floors in the -home, which is the children’s play house in winter, are assured when using Cole’s Original Het Blast Heater. The steel base and body construction allows the heat to be radiated to the floor keeping it warm during the coldest weather. Cole’s Original Hot Blast Heater The Cleanest—Easiest to Care For Burns Soft Coal, Lignite, Hard Coal, Crushed Coke, Wood and Cobs. Users of coal must remember that the ordinary heater is a big care to operate. That its smoke and ashes entail dust- ing, curtain washing and carpet sweeping. Think then of the ease of operation and the cleanliness of Cole’s Hot Blast. Cole’s Hot Blast has a guaranteed smoke-proof feed door— open the feed door and ‘the, current of air draws the smoke directly across the top of stove to the stove pipe—away from the opening. Contrast this simple, cleanly feed with the side door in an ordinary heater. The side door used on other stoves permits escape of dirty smoke, unpleasant gas and accumulated soot drops from it. If you overfill a side door stove, coal falls to the floor. And note this, you cannot make a side door heater air-tight—an everlasting advantage in favor of Cole’s Hot Blast which is air-tightand guaranteed to remain so always. No fires to build—the fire is never out in this remarkable heater from fall until taken down in the spring. Better select one today—sure);: it is the heater you need— Prive $12.00 cocker Lazenby-Montgomery Hdw.

Cook’s theatri- cai attempt tonight to windicate his reputation by a lecture in the hall where two years ago he addressed the royal family and some of under the auspices of the Geograph- fecal Society on the occasion of his triumphal entrance into the capital, tesulted in extremely riotous Scen@s. Dr. Cook finally was com- pelied to retire ingloriousty by the back door. Ever since it was announced that Cook was returning here to lecture the newspapers and the People have been strongly stirred, and threats of violence were freely circulated. Fifteen hundred per- sons assembied in the hall tonight, and a great crowd outside greeted Dr. Cook with an uproar of insult- ing cries. He was escorted by po- lice, however, and no violence was attempted. The meeting within the hall was turbulent throughout. A small fraction of the audience supported Dr. Cook and applauded his efforts Others hissed continually, with the resul, that the two sides almost came to blows. The lecture, illus- trated by means of lantern shides, was for the most part a repetition of his former talk. Dr. Norman Hansen, the Danish explorer, who formerly supported Cock, started trouble by loudly de- houucing Cook as a pure swindler. The climax was reached when an alleged picture of the North Pole was thrown upon the screen. The audience was so hostile that Cook stoped his lecture and withdrew. He was escorted by a strong detach- ment of police to his hotel through the side streets. Panama and Voile, in the shades.

His sister, Miss Ja- ule Caldwell, went to Morganton yesterday to see him. Yesterday's Charlotte Observer contained the following with reference to hia con- dition: The friends of Mr. J. P. Caldwell, who have been keeping posted on his condition, have been very much concerned within the past day or two by reason of the disquieting news that hag come from his bed- side in Morganton. A long dis- tance telephone message yesterday afteruoon brought the information that Mr. Caldwell was in a much weaker state than he ‘has been in for some time. His respiration is uncertain and there is a tendency towards drowsiness that is occa- eloning apprehension. His mind, however, remains clear. Of course everything is being done to rein- force his failing strength but grave fears are entertained. Smallpox in Eagle Mills. Smalipox has appeared in the families of Mr. Peter Renegar and Mre. M. L. Barnard, in Eagle Mills township. ‘At last account there were three cases in the family of Mr. Renegar and two in the family Mrs. Barnard. Dr. Couch, of ilkes county, was called to see the families last week and he diag- mosed the disease as smallpox. Dr. A. Campbell, the county physician, was notified and he visited the fam- ilies and posted placards notify- ing the public of the presence of the disease. Under the State law smallpox is not now quarantined. The public ie notified of the presence of the disease and notified that the only mafety is vaccination. Then it is up to the individual. If he objects to vaccination he can take chances with the smallpox. AVERTS AWFUL TRAGEDY! Timely advice given Mrs. ©. Wi- loughby, of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1) prevented a dreadful. tragedy and saved two lives. Doctors had said her fright- fu) cough was a ‘‘consumption’’ cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. King’s New Discovery. “‘T have been using it for some time,’’ she wrote, “and the awful cough has almost gone, It also saved my little boy when taken with severe bronchial trou- bie.”’ This matchless medicine hag no equal for throat and bang troubles.

Moore, of the Ameiican Steel Dredge Company, Fort Warne, Ind. which has the contract to dredge Fourth creek, has atived im Stateaville and will have charge of the work on Fourth creek Myx Jas. P. Kerr, o. the Gredge company, has also been here a few deys assisting Mr. Muore ir get:'ng ready for the work. One ef the company’s big dredges is now on the wayto Iredell and is expect- ed at any time. It will be unload- ec at Loray and will be hauled from there to the J. C. Duke place, where the drainage work will begun. The boat for the dredge is being shipped along with it—having been taken svart jn sections—and Mr. Moore says that he and his expe- rienced men who will come here from Mississippi, where they have been at work, can put the boat togeth-*, install the dredge and be- gin work withing 30 days. In addi- tion to the big boat which will carry the dredge, there will also be a big house boat, the lumber for which Mr. Moore is now buying. /The house boat will be used as living quarters for the operators of the dredge and will follow along di- Tectly behind the dredge boat. Mr. Moore fas been operating dredges in Florida and he finds it best for the operators to “live by their work” in a house boat, equi pped with cooking, eating and sleeping quarters. Fourth creek will be dredged from the Duke place to the Rowaff coun- ty line, a distance of 15% miles, and the contract with the dredge company calis for the completion of the work by January Ist, 1913. The channel! will average about nine feet in depth and in width will vary from 16 to 32 feet. When the Fourth creek dredze gets to work there will likely be something of a contest between it and the Third creek dredge and this will probably mean better and more rapid work on the part of both. The Thind creek dredge has made “ent “progress since it be g operation and when the other dredge gets down to business there will be something doing in the way of drainage in Iredell. Mr. C. 8. Holland ds soliciting sub- Scriptions to the capital stock of a fair association, the purpose being to organize an association to es- tablish at Statesville an agricul- tural fair. Over $2,000 has teen subscribed. ‘ihe matter of a fair for this covutv has been discussed for years; it is generally agreed that we should have one; that a Properly couducted fair would be of great benefit to the farmers of the county, to the town and the Public generally. A fair, however, can't be run on wind. takes money to provide grounds and build- ings and get under way. Those who want a fair can now show their faith by subscribing to the capital stock. Mr. Holland says the fair is going to be established and those who put their money in it will not only encourage a good thing but the in- vesitment is a safe one. The Iredell Live Stock Associa- tion held a meeting Saturday after- noon and discussed the proposed agricultural feir for 1912. There was considerable enthusiasm for the fair among those present. Prof. R. 8. Curtis, who was ex- Pected to address the Live Stock Association on pork production, was unavoidably prevented from being Dresent Saturday, but the associ- tion exptcts to hear him at some future meeting. Dr. Linney’s Condition, The following from the Daily Pi- oneer. of Alva, Okla., of date of last Thursday,will be of interest, to friends ef Dr. R. Z. Linney, formerly of Taylorsville: “Dr. Linvey, of Hopeton, who re- eently underwent an operation for appendicitis at the St. Francis hos- pital, is able. to be up and around and is gaining in strength, but says he is just a trifle light on pres- sure, as the result of his late ill- ness. The doctor had a hard bat- tle and for weeks it was a ques tion as (o whether he would pull through. He is not yet a well man, but suys that he feels that it will be only a question of a very @hort time antil he is back to the old statdaré of good health and just as good as new.” Miss Hessie Linney, who has been with her brother for some time, in writing The Landmark un- der date of last Friday, 27th, men- tlons that it was snowing there that day.

There @re two forces on the Wilkesboro rodd in the vicinity of Morrison’® mill, in eharge of Messrs. C. L. Murdock and J. O. Gaither; ¢wo on the Charlotte road between Statesville and Bartum, in charge of Messrs. W. A. Earp and J: A. Wyrick, and two on the Charlotte road between Mooresville and Da- vidson, in charge of Messrs. M. 8, Ozment and F. R. Sharpe. These are grading forces equipped by the county and using hired Ileaber. Bach force has 14 of the county’s big mules, eight wheeler scrapers and a number of plows, and in ad- dition six or eight teams are hired by each squad from farmers living in the vicinity. The men in charge of the forces get $50 per month; $2.50 per day is paid for double teams and $1 to $1.25 per day for laborers. The other two forces are the chain gang, which has completed a road to Turnersburg and is g0- iug on through north Iredell, and a force on the Buffalo Shoals road in charge of Mr Graham, of Row- an county. who is working for Con- tractor Plott, of Greeensboro, who has the con'ract to grade the road. Mr. Graham is now working only eight teams, but as soon as Mr, Plott completcs some work Rowan county, which will be oply a short time, he will move his em tire force o* many teams and labor ers to the Buffalo Shoals road work aud push it to completion. In addition to the grading forces, there are a mumber of clearing forces at work in the county, clear- ing the rights of way and getting them rcady for the grading. The roads hve been located and sur- veyed by Engineers Fallis and Roach. In many cases the new sur- veys ** no means follow the road and there is much clearing af rights of way to be done. A lot of tents purchased by the county for the road forces for camp~ ing 9urposes arrived yesterday and will be put into commission at once. Mr. J. O. Gaither’s force was the first to be sent out and did the first work under the bend fs sue. They begen September ist at the erd of the macadam on the Wilkesboro road, about three miles from town, and since that time have built a fill across the valley at Fourth creek, built a bridge over | the creek and graded about a mile and a half of the road beyond the creek. The new road runs around the hill by the Morrison mill, to the left of the old road, and is a great improvement route. Death of Mr. Wade—Funeral of Mr. Shoemaker. Mr. E. D. Wade died yesterday morning at the home of his son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs James M. Sharpe, in Sharpesburg tow iship, death resulting from a kndney trouble after an iliness of two weeks.

In addition meat markets located in the suburbs, outside the corporate Mmits, are offering special induce ments in the way of prices. As a matter of fact any tax or Pestriction on meat dealers which doesn’t provide for an inspection of meat sold, isn’t worth a whoop to the public. ht should be clearly understood that the tax on meat dealers does Mot affect the farmer or any other etiizen who kills his own meat.

Mr Randall, who was giving a party of children an outing, imme- diately turned back to Shelby, and picking up the sheriff and a physi- clan, returned to the scene with them. Whither had heen instantly killed. His pistol, a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson, lay near hiis body. The sheriff at once notified the coronér and the inquest is in progrese tonight. Mr. Randall, who is a native of Cleveland county, made the trip into North Carolina today in his Overland car on a visit to relatives. {.ate this afternoon he started out to take some relatives for a ride. Just across the river the automobile arty met Whither in his buggy driving a mule. The farmer stop- ped hia buggy and alighting ap- proached the machine with a drawn pistol, announcing to Mr. Randall that he intended to kill him. Mr. Randall reasoned with Whither and tried to dissuade him, it is said, and finally, as the farmer con- tinued to approach reiterating his threat, Mr. Randall reached under the seat, drew his own weapon and shot Whither twice. killing him ip- stantly. One bullet took effect in the head amd the other entered the mouth. Mr. Randall then retraced his way to Shelby, surrendered to tne officer, and took him, with -a physician, to the scene of the trag- edy. In addition to the pistol, which lay near the body, there was found on the dead man’s person $75 in cash and a partially emptied flask of whiskey. It is said that Whither’s antip- athy to the invasion of the horse- lees vehicle has been outspoken and pronounced, and certainly there is no other known cause for his ac- tion in holding up Mr. Randall and announcing his intention of Killing him beyond the allegation that he tad been drinking some. The men were utter strangers to each other. Whither was an unmarried man and one ofthe best-known and weal- thiest planters in the county.

We the committee inyvestigat- ing the election of Senator Steph- epson, who spent about $107,000 to @enure the Republican nomination fin the Wisconsin primaries = in 2908, « witness gtated that because @enator Stephenson was reputed to Be worth $30,000,000 some of his polities! workers thought they ought &o be paid for their time and that was the reason it cost so much; @hat if the Senator had been & @eor man his workers might have. eampaigned for him for nothing, but @p he was said to be worth $30,- @00,000 it was thought only right @hat those who worked for him whould be paid. : That witness has doubtilesm ac- @ousted for a large portion of the Stephenson expenditures. Some years ago ea wealthy North Carolinian, and one of the most generous men liv- ing, was a candidate for office. If @he amount he spent in that cam- @Paigu was known the figures would Startle the Gtate even now, and yet he was overwhelmingly defeat- @d. Neitherthe candidate nor those who worked for him tried to buy votes. But the candidate was well kmown all over the State as a wealthy and generous man and the deadbeats by the hundred went af- ter him and worked him. Then his @ampaign managers found it im- possible to turn a wheel without @aying and paying liberally for ev- ery servic: rendered. Men who or- dinarily would have, bestirred them- selves for another candidate without thought of pay, knew this one had the money and they demanded lib- eral pay for the most ordinary ser- vice and for no _ service at all Many were paid for their tinte to dook after the voters and make can- wasses, who did nothing. Take a whole State and undertake to per Pect an organization in every town- ship, under these circumstances, mand {t is easy to see that $50,000 to $100,000 would soon disappear; and every cent of it could be paid Zor legitimate purposes ag campaign expenditure is ordinarily under- @tood; that is to say, there need be wo direct purchase of votes but the outlay could be used if many ways to influence the voters, just es other methods are used. But bear in. mind that this is meither excusing nor defending Mephenson nor is it a defence of this method of campaigning. The Mbewal use of money, even when mo direct purchase of votes is at- tempted, has a debasing and demor- alisiag effect on the electorate. The evi) results can hardiy be esti- mated. It not only handicaps the eandidate who is not wealthy, but dt results in obligations being es tablished on him by those who fur- wish him money for his campaign, and there are of course many _in- terestg and individuals always ready and eager to get a hold on @ mafiidate; and it keeps out of the public service many worthy men, of- ten the very best of men, because they cannot afford the financial sac- Fifice involved. These things are mot only wrong but very damaging to the public interest: and in addi- tion a large body of the electorate become calloused and look upon the suuffrage as a commercial Matter, 60 that the candidate with the most money is likely to win, Yegardiess of character or merit. Ia this Stephenson investigation a» kas deen said that this sort ef expenditure was unknown until the State primaries were establish- wd aad this has been used as-an ar- gument against the primaries &@ little thought showe the falla- @y of the argument. State prima- ies are not a panacea for all po- Utica! ille, as those who championed them fondly believed. But it re- quires no argument to prove that the money can be used even more ‘ffeetively under the old convention Plea. In fact The Landmark be- eves an office can be bought with GEN. HOUSTON.

Why should she give away anything to other States when they are all try- ing to d:spoesess her of her most cherished tradilions? : The Bailey referred to is Col Geo. Marcellus Bailey, editor of the Houston (Tessas) Post, a mative of North Caro: -na and a some time resident of Olin, Iredell county. Col. Bailey and Deacon: Hemphill Can possess their soule in peace. Neither Iredell coumty nor the ‘State of North Carolina will lay elaim to being the: birthplace of Gen. Sam. Houston. It was his misfortune, not his fault, that he was born in Virginia, and we do not Jay i. against his memory. In a book entitled “Brief Biograph- ical Accounts of Many Members of the Houston Family,’’ compiled 1876 to 1882 by Rev. Samuel Ruth- erford Houston, ‘D. D., for an ex- amination of which The Landmark is indebted to Mrs. P. B. Kennedy, of Houstonville, Iwedell county, is found some interesting facts about Gen. Sam Houston, summarized in, the following: Born March 2, 1793, in Rock bridge county, Va, at a house which stood near Timber Ridge (Presbyterian) church, seven miles from Lexington Soon after his father’s death, in 1807, his mother moved to Blount county, Tenn., and settled in the vicinity of Baker's Creek church, which she attended regularly with her children. Sam and his brothers worked on the farm. The family had plenty but were not wealthy; owned few slaves and did not want them. Sam joined the United States army during the j;war of 1812, at the age of 18, and | distinguished himself at the battle jot Horseshoe, under Gen. Andrew | Jackson, against the Creek Indians, lin which battle he was seriously wounded. In 1825, at the age of 18. he studied law under Jona- than Trimble, and while his educa- tiou was .imited he soon mastered the law books and was admitted to the bar He was afterward elected to Cungress, where he was distinguished as a speaker. H.s marriage, whic’ took place about this time, proved an unfortunate un- ion, and in a short time a separa- tiou followed rie was at the time Governor of the state but he resign- ed and retired to the wigwam of a semi-civilized itdian chief. It was while with the chief that he be- came impresse’ with the outrages practiced against the Indians and was ever afterward their friend and defender. When the revolution be gar in Texac in 1832 he was mainly instrumental in achieving the inde- pendence of the republic; served two terms as persident of Texas; member Texas Congress; United States Senator after annexation from 1846 to 1859 and Governor of Texas from 1859 to 1861. Gen. Houstoo was a patriot and an hon- est man; he had unlimited opportu- nities to accumulate wealth, but he said he hated a miser most of all men and was afraid to get a dollar atead lest he become one. He was popular as a public speaker and was a man of extraordinary ability. His Mret wife, from whom he was separated, was Miss Allan, he married a second time, Miss Mar- 8aret Moftett Lea, of Alabama. The uuton was a happy one and they had a large f:.mily of children. Times- Somebody has advocated burning one bale of cotton out of every four a8 a means of raising the Price. It would be far more gen- sible to put every fourth bale away and keep it; and then curtail the acreage next epring anywhere from 25 to 50 per cent. and Plant that much more land in corn, peas, chu- fas and peanuts and raise a good crop of pork. It ig never necessary to act foolish to do a sensible thing.—Greensboro News. A correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer seriously ar- gues that if one bale in every. four was burned the remaining three-fourths would bring as much money. Possibly so, but the burn- ing of the cotton would be foolish and of course the plan suggested will not be adopted. The sugges tion of the News is a proper one.

The cost of production of course depends on the man. | Some farmers may grow cotton at 6% cents or less, while the cost to Others may be 11 or 12.

Correspondence of The Landmaris, The good people of Iredell county have been spending a lot é6f hard- earned money with agents who are selling lghtning rods, and I feel sure if they- had known the facts they would not bave thus spent it, Some. years ago, as the older read- ere of ‘The Landmark will remem- ber, thie country was flooded with lightning rod agents who taught the people that they needed proteo- tion from lightning, and sold them rods of iron which they put wp against the wall of the house or up the chimney, and were careful that these rods should not touch either the house or chimney, or the anchor hooks that stayed the rod in its Place, but put glass insulators in these anchor hooks, through which the rod passed. The rods were then finished out with steel pointe several feet above the roof. Much morey was spent by the people for these rods, which we uow see was worse than thrown away. Instead of protecting the house it rendered it much more Bubject to damage by lightning. Mir. Edison hae exposéd this error. Now the lightning rod venders discard the old plan and nail the rods to the wall or chimney of the house without any insulators, but they are fooling the people just as bad as did the rod venders of forty. yearsago. A few facts will convince you of the truth of this statement. gee earth is a reservoir of elec- Atricity. . Everything that lives or exists upon its surface is charged with electricity. There is enough electricity in a pint of water to kill a person if it was all liberated at cnce and turned irto his body. Every person who has ever curried his horse in the dark has seen isparks of electricity follow the metal Curryconyb. Our bodies are full of electricity. Our houses with wooden floors become heavily charg ed with electricity because wood is a poor conductor of electricuy. The cloude are heavily charged with electricity. When a cloud is j;passing over the earth there is @ great tendency for the electricity lin the earth to meet the electricity jin the air. If we could see the }movements of the electricity on the }earth when a cloud is passing over weuld see it rushing up every pole, sapling, tree, house or monu- Ment, very actively trying to meet jthe clectricity in the cloud. Whea ithese two currents meet it pro- duces an intense heat and an ex- piosion. This often occurs and a jtree, a man, a house or some oth- er object on the earth is either torn or set on fire. Electricity, like water, always, passes by the way of the least re- sistance. If water. finds a pool or jlake of water, it enters it instead ‘of wearing its way through an ele ‘vation of earth So electricity passing from the cloud to the earth, \finding a house full of electricity in or near its path, will naturally fenter it, with the result above de jscribed. Then that which will emp- ty and keep empty a house of electricity is the only safeguard {against its destructive force. ‘Now what is the best, surest {protection against lightning? An- jswer: That which will best remove electriciity from a building. Copper is one of the best conductors of elec- tricity. If you will take a number nine copper wire, run one end of it into fhe earth on one side of your house, deep enough to strike _per- manent damp earth, and take this wire over the top of the house and down to the ground, running the jend into the earth as before, you ; will have a protection against light- jning at a small cost that is worth ;}many times more than the rods j which you buy from agents. The }points which they put upon your houses are a positive danger rath- ler than a help. Quit spending your |money with agents. we Items From Turnersburg. Correspondence of The Landmark. Turnersburg, Oct. 27.—Mr. H. E Sloan, miller at Mr. C. A. Tomlin'’s mills, has ‘been seriously sick for ithe past ten days but is better at |this writing. The little child of Mr. Will Henry is very sick. The farmers are very busy gather- ing corn, picking cotton and sowing wheat. From al appearances there will be a large acreage sown in wheat.

Mooresville Enterprise. A movement has been under way for some time past to place a ‘suit- able tablet of commemioration in Centre Presbyterian church, givive the dates of the organizaiton of the Synod of the Carolinas, and for the information of those interested, Mr. Z. V. Turlington furnishee the Enterprise with the following: In February, 1911, on one Sunday afternoon, Prof. W. A. Withers, Dr. Harrison, Mr. R. Y. McPherson, Gen Roy Leinster and Z. V. Turlington met in the Sunday school room of the First Presbyterian chureh of Raleigh and organized the Presbyte- rian Historical Society. Prof. With- ere was elected president, Mr. Mo- Pherson secretary and treasurer, Mr. Turlington vice president. The executive committee was composed of Messrs. Withers, McPherson, Har-} Fisonu aud Leinster. The primary object of the organi- | Zation was to erect a tablet in Cen- tre church commemorating the | founcing of the Synod of the Caro- liuas, which was organized at €entie church 1778. The men pree- ent at that meeting considered this | the most important event in the! history of Centre church. This tab-| let will be unveiled some time; during the Synod at Charlotte, | which meets on November 7, 1911. | Liter the society hopes to be able to secure other tablets for Ceitre church in honor, of the | Memory of the many distinguished men and women reared in that! Congregation and secure and pre | gerve other historical facts oonnect- | @d with the Presbyterian Church | in this State. At the convening of the North | Carolina Synod in Charlotte in No- ver.ber, that body will be invited | to come to Centre church, where appropriate exercises will be held, dedicating to the church this me | morial The exact date of the} meeting at Centre has not yet been| determined, but will very likely be! announced later. | ‘The Sorghum Industry—Sorghum on Pumpkin Pie—What? Charlotte Chronicle, “Enduring of the war,’ as the 6u) Dg goes, the sorghum crop was one of the South's best assets. Nearly every farm had its cane patch, mill and kettles, and if! there igs a reader of the Chron-| icle who ever sat down to a break- | fast of hot biscuits, butter, sorghum | and a pitcher of sweet milk, he re-| members what a really good break- | fast tastes like. After the war the | people got to neglecting the cane) Patch, because New Orleans molas-| ges was cheap and they had other | things to think about. Besides | eorghum came to be considered old-fashioned. But this part | the South is to be thanked. Sorgh- um is coming into fashion again. It is probable (that a larger cane erop has been harvested this year than at any time in the history of the State. No mountain road could be traveled that did not show up the sorghum patches. Great fields of cane were produced in Catawba county and it is probable’ that Catawba leads the State. The Lex- ingtom Dispatch this week tells us of one farmer who boiled 114 gal-} jong of sorghum from cane grown on @n acre. He sold the sorghum } at 50 cents a gallon, got $5 for! the seed and used the crushed cane} for fertilizer Grocers tell us that sorghum is in demand and meets with ready sale. We are glad of it. Sorghum is the most wholesome ar- ticle of diet that can be produced. Many a man who has committed evicide could have been prevented from perpetrating the rash act if he could have been given a piece of pumpkin pie lubricated with a good article of sorghum. {A man whose taste is so debas- ed that he will spoil pumpkin ple by putting molasses on it, ought to gO out and hang himself—The Landmark. } Plenty of Time and Money.

And over a month’s good time for an able-bodied man was spent looking at the fellow umtie himself, which he did in about two hours. No, there is no hard times around when folks will give seven dollars just to see a well-knotted rope, tied around a man’s body and limbs and a telephone pole, untied.

A bad record for the State eapital. The Daughters of the Confeder- acy, in State convention at Winston- Salem last week, decided to assist an the erection of a monument at Gettysburg to the North Carolin- fama who fought in that battle. This decision followed the presenta- dion of the matter to the Daugh- ters by Col. A. H. Boyden, of Salis- bury, who has been much interest- ed in a monument for Gettysburg and has for some time devoted his efforts to arousing interest in the Ppropositiop. The monument is to com $50,000 and through the ef- forte of Col. Boyden a good part of the sum has already been pledg- ed. The Daughters will assist in waising the semainder.

THE WAR-TIME, PRICES AGAIN. Prices te a to Be roe wages Low-—Prices in Confederate M ey. Recently The Landmark publish- ed, from the Charlotte Observer, a statement comparing wartime ‘prices —that is the price of food during the war between the States—andjead present prices, in which it wate shown that prices of the staple ar-4 ticles of food are higher today, than in wartimes. This comparison was credited to a “Richmond an+ tiquarian,” who asserted that flour sold at $4.10 the barrel during the} * war against $7.75 today; hams 14, Low 20 to 28; beef 6% cents, now 15 cents, ete. It seemed to The Landmark at’ the time that the war-time prices quoted were rather low, but it wae not in popition to dispute them. It is probable that the price quoted. was the average price and maybe it was based on gold. Certain it is that at some times and places, “endurin’ of the war,” the prices were much higher when the pur- chaser paid Confederate money. Mr. R. W. Holland, of Olin, a Con— federate veteran,who was somewhat mystified by these alleged wartime’ prices, was in The Landmark offjce the other day and told his expe rience with the high cost of living in wartimes. When he was In canip at Petersburg, Va., Mr. Holland said bacon sold in Petersburg at $1 the pound. On one-occasion he saw a lady pay $14 a pound for a shoul- der of meat, the shoulder costing her $170. At the same time Mr. Holland paid $4 per gallon for Irish potatoes, $3 per quart for white beans, $4 the pound for soda, $12 a dowen for eggs, $2 to $4 a pound for beef and $2 the pound for flour. He is here at his home and ia re- covering. Miss Mary Henderson | Welburn, of relatives here. and Mise Miss Atwood Hutcheson and her | jaunt, Mre.

THE REVISION IN TURNED DOWN The First Presbytery Seveders De- on the Revision of the Psalmo- dy. Charlotte Observer. The First Presbytery of the An Boclate Reformed P Church of the South, meeting last week at Smyrna, 8. C., voted down by au exceedingly narrow margin overtures for a revision of the Pealmody of the denomination. Oth- er Piesbyteries of the Synod will vote later on the proposition, but the decision of this large body, embracing the churches of North Carolina and upper South Carolina, is important on account ‘of the fact that it has such a large vote in the councils of the Synod. The version of the Pealms which Was disapproved came from the hands of a composite committee re) resenting the various churches oe the .Presbyterian faith holding to the exclusive use of the Psalms of David in divine worship. The gis- ter deuomination of the North, the United Presbyterian Church has accepted the new book of Psalms and it was expected that it should be reeeived with favor in the Southern Church. The opposition to a revision took the ground that the new version was takiug the Church away from its historic stand on the use of a metric translation as nearly lit- eral as possible and was projecting it in the general direction of hu- man compositions, so far as the ac- tual rhythm and smoothness of rendition was concerned. The new version smacked too much of the Suit the sedate and conservative el | ders, and while the vote indicated | that there was a narrow division of | Sentiment in the Presbytery for and against the issue, the prevalence of the oppcsition indicates that the denomination is immovable in its | attitude toward an exclusive and, as nearly, as possible, literal trans- | lation cf David’s writings in its divine worship. The new version was too elusive, too smooth, too rhythmic, too ait- | tyish and too liberal to meet with the approbation of those who have been spiritually sung to sleep with Pealmody translations converted in- | For, }of the notable divines of the Church remarked, instead of dividing Shechem and measuring Succoth and asserting title to Gilead and Manassee and Ephraim, retaining | « Judah as attorney, declaring Moab @ wash-pot and treading Bdom with the shoe as is elaborately, set forth ‘un Psalm 60, the new version merely read: “All heathen Mine And they shall bow to me.” After all, it may be well for the Seceders to stick to the tradi- tions!

It is worse than useless to at- tempt to cure constipation with ca-~ thartic drugs. Laxatjves or cathar- tics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate, and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipa~ tion more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is ‘danger- ous. Constipation is caused by a weak- néss of the nerves and muscles . of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and ‘strengthen these organs and re store them to healthier activity. We want you to try Rexal] Or- derlies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate per- sons and old folks, as well ag for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bow- els, They apparently have a neu- tral action on other associate or- gaps or glands. They do not purge cause excessive Looseness, nor cre- ate any inconvenience whatever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will positively relieve chronic or habitual consti- pation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or de- pendent chronie ailments, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. 12 tableta, 10 cent#; 36 tabletts, 25 cents: 80 tablets, 50 cents.

The living question chases us all pretty lively these days. Every time you turn around there is money to pay out, and sometimes before you can turn around. Thecold weather makes the living expense creep up still more, things to eat are almost a luxury, it costs dollars now where it used to cost half-dollars and quarters. No one realizes this more than the merchant. Itis every person’s duty to save a dollar where he or she can. To let an op- portunity go by that would save you a few dollars would be she er extravagance, and very few of us can afford to be extravagant. This sale brings you an opportunity to cut down the expenses, both for living and for things to wear. They can be bought here during this sale at a great saving—just a fraction of their value—and in urging you to attend this CLOSING OUT SALE we are really do- ing you a favor that you will thank us for.

In making this announcement I wish to impress upon you all that this is final, this busi- ness will positively be discontinued after the first of the year. Realizing that, it is a bigtask to close out entirely a stock like this, I am starting things going early in the season. It is not only on this account that I do it, but from the fact that ve. few people have bought their fall and winter merchandise and it is to these people that this sale will prove a harvest. It is an heeled A that I know is going to be appreciated by all my regular customers also by many people who do not trade heré regular, but who will come on accountof the induce- ments that will he offered. Everybody will be welcome to share in the bargain feast. We are working day and night to have everything ready for the opening day, SA URDAY, NO- VEMEBR 4th, at 8 o’clock. This will mean just forty-three selling days before Christmas, and these are forty-three days when everybody is buying and when this great saving will be doubly welcomed. I want to say just a word to you about the AUCTION PIT. This is something new to me, but after seeing one work I made u my mind that I would have it here. It is aremarkable thing for the people, though rather on the merchant as there are Opportunities for ple to really make their own prices on merchandise. You must see this great Auction Pit— something going on every minute here. Also I would call attention to many other special sales during the days—every department will feature special sales, the great merchandise sacks sale, the box sale, and many other features that will be beneficial as well as interesting —odds and ends of course wil] be cleaned up every day at whatever they will bring, broken lines will not be allowed to stand here for more than one day, somebody will get them at some price. past favors and trusting that I will see you all Thanking you one and all for the man many times during this sale and especi y on the opening Day, S TURDAY, NOVEMBER Respectfully yours, W.
