In the report of the fire at the Statesville Lumber Co.’s plant in the last issue of The Landmark it was stated that ‘‘the fire apparatus of the Statesville Flour Mill was resorted to when the fire first started but had accomplished nothing when the city fire department arrived.”’ The mill people ask that it be said that the reason their fire apparatus ac- complished nothing was use the water was cut off, without notice, while work was being done on the Center street main, and that as soon | as the water was turned on their fire | apparatus worked and did good serv- ice. The lumber people also say that they had no notice of water being cut off and could get none from their private hose when the fire was dis- cov Supt. Neely says the water was cut off only from the te the to- tacos i on ter street. That the ‘ected were notified but the and lumber were not because they water in a six inch main running there from the Im- etn Furniture Co., on which is two rydrants. Heaths. Mrs L. D.

C., Dispatch, Aug 80. ‘Passengers on the ill-fated steamerLexington,which was beach- @d on Edisto island during the hur- Ticane Monday afternoon, lived ten Years in the space of 24 hours with the ship almost entirely sub- Merged time and again while driv- en before the gale. This was the Stat‘ment made by some of those taken from the ship by the reve- Mue cutter Yamacraw. This after- noon the passengers were given the privilege of proceeding to Savannab by rail and there taking passage for Philadelphia, but with the hor- rors of their mecent experience fresh in mind, they promptly de- cHned the offer. Lack of power to resist the Zale caused. the Lexington to be beached. With five feet of water | in the engine room, every pound of | steam that could be raised was used to man the pumps and keep the Ship afloat. With the boat under water Steward Berliner managed to cook food forthe passengers and creep- fag on hands and feet served it to them in the cabin where they were unable to move through fear of be- ing washed overboard. But for the heroism of Wireless Operator Sheetz, there would have been no chance of rescue After the storm had wrecked the wireless station, Sheetz climbed into the rig- ging and adjusted his instruments, flashing the calls for immediate as- Sistance. The signals were caught by the Yamacraw, which hastened to Hunting Island. Streetz, a 16) year-old boy, was in imminent peril of his life, while operating the wireless, the wind almost tearing him from his insecure position. The lad was utterly exhausted by his desperate work. Passengers inces- gantly prayed for abatement of the storm and when the government steamer hove into sight a mighty ery of relief went up from the sorely-stricken people on the Lex- ington.

Washington Dispatch, Aug. 30. | Primary election expense state- ments from Senators Martin and Swanson, of Virginia, the first to be filed under the new publicity law that went into effect August 19, reached the office of Secretary Bennett of the Senate today. In the absence of Secretary Bennett offi. | cials of his office declined to | make them public. Following this | declination a careful examination of | the mew publicity law resulted in / the startling disclosure that in the | act, presumed to be most drastic, | there is no requirement for publicity of the individual statements filed by candidates for the Senate or the House of Representatives. The law requires the filing of individual expense statements and pledges of appointments, but it is apparently left to the discretion of the secretary of the Senate or the clerk of the House, as the case May be, to decide whether these statements shall be given to the public. The publicity law of 1910 requires that the expenses of cam- paign committees ‘‘shall be a part of a public record” in the office of the clerk of the House, ‘“‘and shall be open to public inspection.” The statements received today from Senators Martin and Swanson will be forwarded to Secretary Ben- nett, in New York. What construc- tion he will place upon the new law is not known, Two of the candidates {n the Virginia senatorial primaries, to be held September 7, have not yet reported their expenses to the sec- retary of the Senate and apparent- ly stand in violation of the law. The requirement is that the first expense statement shall be filed Dot later than ten days before the ptimary election. Yesterday was the last day in which statements could be deposited in the mail to comply with the law. No reports had been received today from Con- gressmen Glass and Jones, who are contestants in the Virginia race against the two Senators. Failure to file statements within the requiréd tité before the elec- tion, if done wilfully, carries with it the penalties of the law of 1910, namely, a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.

The rodents were brought here, it. is thought, on grain trains from Norfolk,and were to this country from Nor way on cattle beats. These rats are two or three times as large a6 he ordinary rodents and are so vi- cious that cats and dogs are afraid tackle them Some of the pests h as much as two pounds. I. Johnson says one of the rats invaded his chicken brooder the other night and kilied 20 young chicks. Anoth- er time the animals pulled the wing of a half-grow hen through the wire-netting and broke the wing ‘n peveral places. All «@€ Mr. Johnson's chickens were kept be- hind wire scrcens as a protection from rats z : Other citizens report similar dep- redations.

For the first time in many eeas- ons, the Federal Treasury is making no preparations to meet the autum- nal demands formeney for moving the crops. Neither do Treasury offi- cials expect the usual crop-moving season demand for bille of small de- nominations. Prospects for medium-sized crops, @asy money and the strong cash position of nearly all the country are the reasons ascribed for this condition. Last year there was suck a demand for small currency that the government began breaking up big silver certificates and . issuing ones and even made plans to issue a $1 greenback which has not beer seen in circulation since 1885. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_T John Follett’s Case in Wilkes.

OFFICE: 12% WEST BROAD. STREET. ‘SUBSC mp FRIDAY, — — September 1, 1911. ee The editor of The Landmark is to- day celebrating—by staying on the job—the 28th anniversary of his con- nection with the paper. It was Sep- tember 1st, 1883, that he came into the office and began to set type on The Landmark for Mr. J. P. Caldwell. He has been editing the paper since February, 1892—more than 19 years. The Landmark, by the way, entered on its 38th year a few weeks ago. The Goncord Tribune thinks the @ally papers are “overdoing the business of producing late portraits @f Beulah Binford,’the woman in the Beattie wife murder case in Virginia. The Landmark is of the @ame opinion. On account of her prominence in the tragedy one pic tare might be permissible—we did- n't say proper—but when every few days a new picture—a double col- ™mn photograph on the first page ~—is displayed, it seems to The Landmark that the business is be- fag overdone; that it is in a way throwing a glamour about and mak- ing a sort of heroine of a woman of the underworld that cannot. but have a very bad effect. Printing all @orts of details of this girl's life apd exhibiting her portrait again and again is inexcusable in a paper that has regard for the propricties.

I do not doubt the fact that such a malady [temporary insanity} ex- ists—-both among nich and’ poor alike—but I believe the name is wrong; for I think it should. be called what it really is—‘*Tempo- rary Satanity,’’ and instead of be- ing an exousable disease it should be put down among the cardinal crimes and receive the punishment which it justly deserves. It is a more serious thing to disobey a law than we sometimes think. That spirit acquired and cultivated in man to know no law; to yield to no man’s will except ones’ own desires, regardless of anyone else’s comfort, is a bad | policy. There are laws made _ to | protect every human being in this | country— laws made by the best }men of our country commanding | what is right and prohibiting what }is wrong, and it is bad enough to disobey one of these; but to wil- fully disobey u law of nature and take the right of Divinity in our hands by destnoying a human life can give and none but Datvinity should take—a being, who has been given the privileges of this earthly existence by the same | power who gave us ours, and there | by has as much right to enjoy it las we do, it is a crime indeed I have seen Victims of this “Temporary Insanity’’; watched it in its budding years in little chil-| dnen It comes in a rather mild form at first but grows with the victim It affects them different- ly, beat usually there is a similari- ty that can be easily detected. lived next door to me whose chil- dren were very much affected with it One morning I heard such a noise and screaming that I looked out and saw a little sprite of a boy jumping up and down on the back porch and giving vent to yells t*at ought to come from a_ boy twice his size, and all of it was be cause his mother would not let him fat breakfast without washing his face. After awhile I heard her | tell him to come on then, and he immediately hushed. It was my lot to live by them several years, until the boy was beginning to be | called a “‘big boy,’’ and the family had to move away in order to es- cape disgrace and try to get this same boy ina different atmosphere. | I have seen lots of people who be- | lieve that evil comes from without.| but instead it is imbedded in the} heart, and if allowed to grow it will become so large at times that it will crowd out all the good and make a demon of man It may be considered a rather sacrilegious thing to say in the| presence of those persons who al-|[ ways refer to mothers as “angel | mothers,’’ but I firmly bélieve that | a good per cent. of the crimes of | his country, if properly placed, would be laid at the mother’s | aoor. Of course, I know that there | are exceptions, and that no mat- | ter how good a woman may be, she is uot perfect. She may think she is doing her child a kindness when} she is doing the thing that is en-| tirely wrong. How can one expect} a person to always obey the laws of | man or God when he has known any in the home? or later the old habits will | out, and the “my will’ and “my } way” will be made manifest. The considering of one’s own conven- | ience, pleasure and self before all | others, and that excessive temper which has never known any con- quering, grows from Taen whe is responsible? One of the saddest wails 1 ev- | @r heard fiom a human heart was that of a broken-hearted mother whose child had gone wrong. She ealled me to her side for help and sympathy, and I shall never forget the depth of her cry when she said it was all her fault; for she had always let the child have its way. There is among my acquaintances a girl philosopher who will not al- ‘low herself to get real mad, for She says that every time she (does she digs a bigger trench for more Satan to enter the next time. Some way I feel more like trusting a man who can control his temper and not have a runaway, 80 to speak, every now and then. “No man can safely command un- til he has learned to obey.’* | | | never | Sooner } come | Specimen of Ollie James Demagog- uery.

A New York Dispatch, Aug. 27. Through possibly the most re markable optical operation. ever performed, Dr. H. L. Chapin, the Cleveland physician and literary mao, who lost bis sight during a journey across the hot, blinding sands of a /Syrian desert seven years ago, can NOW g¢e as well as when he was a boy: Last Monday he saw for the first time his wife, whom he married four years ago, after a romantic courtship, and who has guided him wherever he has gone. Dr. Chap- in, a man of considerable wealth, left !ast winter for a trip around the world in ay effort to find some specialist who could aid him to see again. Nowhere in the Puro- pean capitals or in India could he find » specialist who would attempt the operation. Returning home, he consulted Dr. Arnold Knapp, one of the best known opto-thomolagists inAmerica. Dr. Knapp consented to try to cut away part ofthe iris which had con- tracted and adhered to the lens. The operation was successful, but neither Dr. Knapp nor his assistants expected any more than a partial restoration. A week later Dr. Knapp jcame to the private hosptial on |west Mleventh street, where the op- jeration was performed,and took the | baudages from his eyes. | “Why,” he exclaimed, ‘I can see. |Se@e just as well as when I was ‘a kid And Ana,” he cried to his | wife. “Il can see you for the first / ote Oh, it’s wonderful!” The President Will Stand For Tariff \ Revision. | So far ug Presidemt Taft himself Sight Restored After Seven Years. |is concerned, the tariff will be the ;th® inain issue of the 1912 campatgn. | While the President will speak on many subjects on his Western trip, it is certain now that tariff re vision will receive most of his at- tention This informaticn comes in a dis- patch from Boston It is said | President is aware that he will not only have to defend himself for having rejected the wool, farim-| ers’ free list an” cotton bills, but; that he must attack the Democrats and progressive Republicans who} put them through Congess. | The ature of attack is pretty | clearly defined aiready—it will be| nh substance tha the progressives, who voted for a tariff board, should! have been willing to wait for its re-| port; that the revision bills the Democrats and “‘i:.surgents’” drew} sidered’’ and ‘‘badly drawn,” and] that great irdustries of the coun-} try should not be put in jeopardy by such legislation when revision, | if recommerded by the tariff board, | might be expected any way a_ few} mouths later It is also probable that the President will promise tar- | iff reform so far as he can bring | it about the next session of Con- | gress. { eee cette Supposed Victim of Consumption | —« —— $$ ~ on ete Had Staple in Lungs. } N-w York Dispatch. \2 isrnest Heeren, 17-year-old son | of George H.

Typhooid Fever Vaccination Oom- pulsory in Army Vaccination against typhoid fev- er has been made compulsory for every officer and enlisted man in the United States army under 45 years old. The only exceptions al- lowed by the War Departmé@n ’s or- der in the matter are those who tave had the disease or have al- ready been vaccinated. This action was taken by the Secretary of War on recommenda- tion of Surgeon General Torney. The army physicians are enthusias- tic over the effacy of the anti+ty- phoid inoculation. They point to the splendid health record of the maneuver division at San Antonio, Texas, every member of which was vaccinated against the disease which is regarded as one of the greatest scourges of armies. For several months every recruit received into the army has been vaccinated with virus. Embezzler Caught in Mexico. J. Wiley Smith, charged with the embezlement of$200,000 trust funds in the State of Georgia and whose arrest was requested through the American embassy, was captured a few days ago in the State of Chi- huahua, Mexico. Smith disappeared from Atlanta several weeks ago, leaving the affairs of the Commer- cial Loan and Trust Company, of which he was secretary and treas- urer, in a somewhat muddled condi- tion, and after having borrowed, it is alleged, Bums of money variously estimated in the aggregate at from $100,000 to $200,000.

That the express evil is inexcu- gable is shown by the fact that no substantial justification of the exist- ence of an express company has ev- er been made. The press is prac ticuily united against the express businées as at present constituted; the people are against it, because of years of long suffering and ex- ectuon, and in due time it will eith- er be reformed or abolished.

The Speaker of qha House Answers President Taft's Hamilton Speech. in a public address at Hamilton, Mass., last Saturday, President Taft went after the Democrats and the ineurgent Republicans, “‘ham- mer and tongs,” for their attempts at tariff reform. Speaker Champ Clark has answered the President. In a published interview he says: “The and [I are per- sonal friend. Heis an amiable gen- Geman, but at the time he seems to have been in a bad temper, be- caugfe he sees defeat staring him in the face. | would say nothing un- kind about him, but I cannot and will not permit his personal stric- tures and his bald misstatement of historical facts to go unchallenged. “The President’s criticism of Mr, Underwood and myself, which is essentially a criticiam of all Demo- crats in the House and Senate, DdDecuuse all Democrats stood to- getber, is absolutely uncalled for and is as ungrateful performance as I can remember, for, had it not been for the action of theDemocrats in the House in both the Sixty- First and Sixty-second Congresses in lining up almost unanimously in favor of reciprocity with Canada, he would have been the most thor- oughly discredited and humiliated Pres‘dent since the days of * An- drew Johnson. “With all the influence and pa- tronage of his great office, he could not muster a majority of House Republicans for reciprocity in @ither the Sixty-First or the Sixty~ Second Congresses. “The President says that he did not play politics about reciproc- ity, but that we did play politics about the tariff. The only politics we played was to keep faith with the people. if any politics was Played on reciprocity, the President himself played it—personal at that, “He seems to think we ought to have adjourned as soon as reciproc- ity was disposed of—that is, he Seems to think that Congress was composed of a lot of schoolboys, to be ordered about by him as head teacher, but he was forewarhed, by both Mr. Underwood and myself, that if ne called the extraordinary session we would pass tariff ‘bills and such other bills as the Demo- crats deemed advisable. He will uot deny that statement. “If we had done less than we did, we would not have been worthy of so great a portion of public con- fidence as we now enjoy. We made best record of constructive Statesmanship made by any Congress iu the same length of time in a generation and that fact is pre- cisely what caused the President. to assault the Democrats in. Congress. “He said tnat the rates of the wool schedule of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill were too high and ought to be reduced. We reduced them. In the teeth of his other dec- larations that said rates were too high, he vetoed our wool Dill, thereby going ovr boots and breech- @s to the ctaud:-patters. “The Pres.d+.t endeavors to con- Vey the impretsion that Mr. Under- wood and I advocated the tariff commission. \\- did no such thing. “We were never in favor of a tariff board or commiseion under the contre! of the President alone, re- sponsive te him only, The Congres- sional Record will fully and clearly Prove my contention herein stated. “Several members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats, in- chiding Mr. Underwood and myself, have spent half a lifetime studying and debating the tariff. “The service of some House and Senate members even goes back to the McKinley bill, the Springer bills, the Mills bill and the Morri- son bills. Then why should we wait for the verdict of the President’s board of tariff non-experts? “It will be noted that while the President’s conscience would hot permit him to sign a bil! revising even one schedule, he promptly Signed the outrageous Payne-Ald- rich-Smoot tariff bill without the counsel, advice or tuition of any tariff board whatsoever. “KK might as well be understood now as iater, that if the tariff board is to be used as a pretext for delaying tariff revision down- ward, its days will be few, for we will cut off its supplies. This board already has cost three or four hun- dred thousand dollars and has not given to Congress any information to afd in revising the tariff. “The President himself is-a man of large general information as well as a man of great ability, but cer- tainly he is not enough of a tariff expert to justify him in vetoing tariff bills which passed the House by majorities of more than two to one. “The President implies that he rfused to sign the wool bill be- cause it was introduced and rushed through without due consideration. Let us see. The caucus of Demo. cratic members elec to the Sixty- Secoud Congress met January 19 and selected the Democratic mem- bers of the committee on ways and means, roak'ng Mr. Underwood chairman. They personally and with their helpers at once began to as- semble information on the wool schedule. . The. bill wag reported to: the Houte about the middle of Ap- ril, a period of three months, on the proposition of one schedule out of 14, whereas the hearing on the Payne bill with 14 Schedules began November 11 and the bi)) was re. ported to the House March 18, a period of a littie over four months devoted fo 14 schedules. “Never- theless, and. notwithstanding, the President signed the Payne-Aldrich- Smoot bill and vetoed ours “Instead of being slapped togeth- er hastily and without due consid- eration, the Democratic wool bill was one of the most thoroughly and carefully considered tariff bills ev- er presented to any President for his signature. “In view of the foregoing facts, dit surely must be that the Presi- dent, in his zeal to reform the brok- en lines of the standpattere, forgot that all men were entitled to a Square deal and when he uttered this monstrous and preposterous sentence: “ “The bills bear internal evi- dence of the fact that they rested on a basis of not tariff for revente only, but tariff for politics only.’ “Really Ido not see how he eould find it in his heart to utter the foregoing words, for which, there 1 no basis of fact in the iverse. ““Never in the history of gov- ernment, I venture to say) have im- portant public interests been dealt with in sucha light-hearted way, with such absolute ignorance of the effect of legislation and with such wiltingness to sacrifice business in- terests to political exigencies.’ “Phat is as reckless and unfair a starement as has been put into print since Gutenberg invented movable type and is a personal] re- fleetion on the sense, honesty, in- tegrity, boua fides and patriotism of every mun, Democrat or Repub- lican, who voted for these bills. As such, 1 resent them, not for myself alone butf or all who voted as I did. “The Presideent rushed in to create an issue. We pick up the Bleve flung into our faces and the faces of consumers of the land. We gladly accept his gage of battle. We confidently believe that the people will endorse our cause and give to us the victory,for we have right and truth and justice on our side.” ————— MATTEKS OF NEWS.

This is a message to you from the owners of more than two thousand modern America laun- dries, who are glad to pay their pro rata for the Eevieee of telling you what is being done to im- prove the service rendered by the better laun- dries of America. The American people spend more than $9,000,- 000 every week in the laundries of this country; and the owners of'all the modern laundries have invested in the business more than $200,000, 000. This business, in spite of the tremendous size of the totals involved, is one of exceedingly small profits; and one whose growth depends upon the painstaking care exercised by the modern laun- dries in rendering better and better service. If we can make it clear to one good woman out of every one hundred that we are putting forth herculean efforts dn that direction; and enlist her aid in the furtherance of these efforts; we will . fee] amply repaid. We want you to know that we are striving ev- ery day of our lives to eliminate wear on the customer’s goods. We want you to know that the high polish, once popular on shirts, collarsand cuffs, has been done away with; and that with its passing, enor- mous pressure and excessive friction was made unnecessary in the ironing rooms. The good laundry isn’t on the defensive any longer. It simply says: Come and investigate me critically, coldly and from a purely mercenary standpoint. Every progressive laundry is an object lesson in sanitation—the oe sort of cleanliness that makes for hygiene and health. Every progressive ane oe knows that he must offer methods that will disarm criticism— that will conquer a public prejudice that should no longer have reason for its existence. Every progressive laundryman realizes that his only right to your patronage is his ability act- ually to prove that he can give you better service than you can get by any other means. You can help Tone une laundry service in ee declining to abide by anything less an methods which it PAYS you to patrtnize. f Come in any time and look over We want you to know that the old idea that “any old building’ was good enough for a laun- dry has been abandoned. We want you to know that in the best laundries of this country, the entire plant is thoroughly cleaned every day, and that in many of the larger plants cleaning goes on continuous ly. We want you to know that the average modern laundryman is an advocate of pure air, to the verge of fanaticism. We want you to know that in a week’s travel you will not find a single plant in which no pro- vision is made for pure air. We want you to know that the vast majority of better laundries have cheerfully adopted fixed provision for the number of hours constituting a day’s labor. We want you to know that the laundries affil- iated in this association are proud of their plants; that they have no secret processes; and that they will be glad to show you through their plants. We want you to bear in mind that there is not a piece of machinery in the well-equipped, mod- ern laundry which does not treat your clothes as lightly and delicately as would the fingers of the most expert and careful laundress. We ask nothing whatsoever from you, except- ing that you will seek out the good laundry in your locality; and that 7 will not hold the sin- cere laundry owners of this country res nsible for the sins of their less progressive brethren: Just find the good pay which is represent- ative ofthe highest ideals of the business and of this Association; and, instead of finding the laun- dry a menace to yaa comfort, you will discover that it is one of the greatest of all modern utilities, The story of modern American laundry and its progress to its present state of efficiency is a most interesting story.

Fulp, was elected night policeman to succeed Mr. T. B. Hargett, resigned. Mr. Hargett was suspended recently on a arge of immoral conduct and ‘was exonerated of the charge, after which he resigned. At the meeting last night it was decid to put down concrete side; walks on east Sharpe street. The regular monthly meeting of the board of aldermen was held Friday night at the mayor’s office, al) the members of the board being present The petition of citizens for an extension of west Broad street across and around the college was disapproved because of its imprac- ticability and expense to the city. The street committee recommend- ed that the petition for extension of Race street across the railroad tracks be not granted because of the cost. The board ordered that the south e@ide of Walnut street sidewalk be laid in cement. It was ondained by the board that the sidewalk on the north side of Bel] street, from Center to Mul- verry street, be made an improve- ment district and that it be laid with concrete five feet wide. It was ordained that sidewalks on both sides of north Tradd street to Water street be constituted an improvement district and be with five feet of concrete that sidewalks on both sides Davie avenue from Tradd street to the city lim/ts be constituted a district and be laid with five feet of concrete. The water line on east Front strect was ordered placed as soon 28 possibie. It was ordéred that the hospital eommittee make a thorough inves- tigation of Billingsley Hospital—ts accounts, condition, etc.—and repost to the next meeting of the board. The police committee was in- structed to investigate, adopt and put into service the necemary clock ~@tetion -wpperatus, to be used in the night service by the policemen, thereby showing their attendance up on and punctuality in police du- ties. Many Appendicitis Oases—Some Sick Folks. At the Sanatorium Saturday Mr J. D. Cochrane, superintendent of the electric light department of Statesville, Mrs. Fred Anderson, of Statesville, and Rev. J. P. Davis, of Olin, pastor of Iredell circuit, were all operated on for appendi- citis. Mr. Davis was conducting a meeting at Clarksbury church last week. in which he was assisted by Rev. B. F. Hargett, of Statesville, when he was stricken. This is the second case in the past few weeks in which a minister has suffered an attack of appendicitis while conducting a meeting in this county, the other being that of Rev J. R. Hooten, of Clinton, 8S. C., Dwho was attacked near three weeks “Mgo while conducting a meeting at Perth. Conducting meetings, how- ever, -}s not responsible for the appendic is. Another minister, Rev Mr. Walters, of Mooresville, un- derwent an operation for appendi- citis at the Sanatorium a week ago. Mr. Cochrane had been suffering for sume time and his case was diagnosed as appendicitis when he was examined last week. Yesterday at the Sanatorium Mr. John L. Milholiand, deputy clerk of the Superior Court, and Mrs. Jesse M. Brown, of Statesville, Were operated on for appendicitis. The condition of all the patients is favorable. Mrs. A. D. Parks, who was crit- fcally ill, was improved yesterday. Her sister, Mrs. Bush, of Lenoir, 4s with her. Her cousin, Mrs. Neal, #f Charlotte, who was here, returned home yesterday. The coadition of Mrs. Hattie 1% Brown, mother of Mrs. R. A. Coop- ‘er, who has been ill, fs improved. Also Not Almost Bat the Whole Thing. An error in an advertisement in the !ast issue of The Landmark did Mr, D. J, Kimball’s fine thor- oughbred horse, Almont, a great in- justice. The ad. had it: “My horse, almost the fastest young trot- ting horse in western North Caro- lina,” ete. What Mr. Kimball ‘wrote was ‘‘My horse, Almont, the fastest young trotting horse in wretern North Carolina,” etc, The Landmark hastens to cor- rect the error, for it not only does the horse an injustice but is an injustice to Mr. Kimball’s repu- tation. Mr. Kimball has no “al- most’? horses at any time. He will handle nothing but the genuine ar- ticle, the whole thing—a thorough- bred with a pedigree a yard long and a record—and the one he now has is just a little better than the best he has handled heretofore.

Mayor Caldwell Friday sentenced Preston Banks, Lester Flow and John Stamps, three negro boys, to work terms cu the stréets, the }firet two for fighting and Flow for disorderly conduct. The sentences jas to Plow and Stamps were later changed and they were ret¢ased on condition that their parefits pun- ish them. | Bauks aad Stamps engaged in a sciap in Landmark Place Fri- day and Banks pelted Stamps in the back of the head with a rock, linflicting a painful wound. Sampson Bailey, Phons. and Es- ley Howard, colored, were --tried Saturday by ‘Squire J. A. King \for an affray in Bethany township. They all gave bond for their appear- ance at the next term of Superior Court. This is the row that took place at a colored church in Beth- any a few weeks ago and as a re- isult of which the two Howard dar- kies were slightly wounded by Bail- ey, who shot them with a pistol. The trouble started about a girl. Sunday morning ‘Squire W. W. Turner fined Ben Hines $10 and jtaxed him with the costs for forci- |ble trespass.

The story of a refugee’s experi- ence in Statesville during Stone- man’s raid, which The Landmark is printing today, will be of special interest to older . residents. The house the refugees occupied was the present residence of Mr.W. W.. Walton. While the name of the people is not clearly recalled it is believed to beTinsley. The crippled Man referred to was Mr. Robt. F. Simonton, who occupied the Simon- ton residence, now the home of Mr. John 8. McRorie. Stoneman’'s sol- diers camped im the college yard The “‘Oapt. Coffin’’ mentioned was Lieut. Coffey. He was buried in the old cemetery and a stone marks his grave His funeral was con- ducted in the Simonton home by Rev. Walter Pharr, then pastor of the Presbyterian church. It was an awful experience that lady and jthe gtris in her charge passed jthrough, but it was the experience of hundreds and thousands ofSouth- ern women at that awful period, and many of them were not spared indignities and outrages. The printing office burned was the office of the Iredell Express, afterward the Statesville American. The paper was owned and edited by Bugene B. Drake. The office stood on Broad street, about where the Patterson-Anderson block now stands. The residence adjoining was that of Dr. Dean. It stood about where the moving picture show now is. ait » For Ire Spellers, Primers, Etc., dell Schools. oe With reference to the adoption of books for use in the public schools, the State Board of Hdu- cation has given notice that “in case of spellers, primers and writ- ing books, where two adoptions have been made, the county super- intendent may select either for use in the school of his county; but he is directed to enforce the useinaill theschoois of the coun- ty of only the one selected, so as to insure uniformity and prevent confusion and expensé that would result from the use of one of these in some of the schools and the other of the same grade in other schools of the county.” Under the above regulation Supt. White has selected for the Ire- dell schools Reed's Primary Spell- er, Reed’s Word Lessons, The Howell Primer and the Old North State Copy-book. Work on the Air Line—Trouble About Right of Way. Work on the Stateswille Air Line railroad is progressing satisfactori- ly. A force has reached the Five Mile branch, in Bethany township, but the grading has not been com- pleted all the way from Statesville t6 the branch. It is understood that some of the citizens of Bethany will ask damages for the right of way and that a suit may result from this. It is the policy of the company to pay for the value of the land for the right of way but to pay no damages. NOT A WORD OF SCANDAL! marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P.

Some of the automobile folks complaiu that in traveling the pub- lic highways, decently and in order, in the peace of God and the State, they are not infrequently held up ‘by teamsters who hold the middle of the road ar. refuse to permit them to pass. ud the automobile man is thus delayed and inconvenienced where the’ road is not wide enough for him to get around the team. In view of these circumstances and couditions the automobile folks ask The Landmark to print section 14_of the State automobile law, which is as follows: “Section 14. If a vehicle drawn by a horse or horses or other draft animajs or a motor vehicle be overtaken by any motor vehjéle, and the person in charge of such motor vehicle expresses a desire to pass, it shall be the duty of the driver of any such vehicle or motor vehicle so overtaken as aforesaid to turn either to the right or to the left of the ecen- ter of the wrought or traveled por tion of the highway and give the person so making the request an opportunity to pass; but, in pass ing, the person in\ charge of such motor vehicle andthe other male oo cupants thereof over the age of fifteen years shall give such e& @istanoce as they are able to the occupant or occupants of the ve- hicle they are passing if assistance is asked, and in thus passing the chauffeurs, drivers or operatore shall use all due care to avoid laid |ter, Mrs. Walter Lippard,on Eighth | accidents.” Having never failed aforetime to of |home under the influence of liquor jsay what it thought of automobile drivers who disregard the rights of others, The Landmark is willing to print the law to show that. these people have some rights in the ipremises. Of course the teamsters who refuse to give the road have more than likely been irritated by the smart automobile drivem who dash up behind them and blow for them to get out of the way in a form and manner which intimates that the tea has no business there and is a passer on the track. It just urally riley a@ Wan for somebody to run up behind hinfand perem rily order him to get out of the way. There is a proper way to do these things and all automobile owners should not be made to suf- fer because a few>play smart. Teamsters should remember, too, that automobiles have the same right to the road as any other ve- hicle and they are not excusable for acting ugly or violating the law because a few automobile drivers show au utter lack of good sens: Dr and good manners.

A news item from High Point, copied in Friday’s Landmark, told about the enterprise of the Statesville Lumber Company in a deriog new machinery before the fire was out. This was not only the case but when the company saw its plant was doomed a contract for a Dew building was made the same day the plant was destroyed. Fund For Orphanage Improvements Lacks $500, The friends of Barium Orphans’ Home will be pleased to know that the fund for installing electric lights and water. works at the orphanage lacks but $500 of being complete. With a little extra ef- fort on the part of the friends of the Home it is hoped the nequired amount will soon be in hand. The poles have been set for the wire line from Statesville to the Home but the wires have yet to be strung and the buildings wired. The water pipes have been laid and there is now water in every build- ing at the Home but the bath tubs and other fixtures have yet to de installed. Concord Presbytery—Church Notes. Messrs. C. M.

Took Chance Because Orowd Jeer- ed—One Burned in Mid Air— Balloon Man Drowned in Char- lotte, Norton,Kans., Dispateh, 24d. 5. J. Frisbie, the Curtis avia- tor, was killed yesterday by a fall at the Norton county fair. Frisbie met’with an aceident the day before yesterday and went inte the alr) again yesterday only when driven} into it by the taunts and jeers of | the crowd. Frisbie fell about 100 | feet and the engine of his machine | fell upon him, crushing his left | side and chest. He lingered for | about an hour before he died. Frisbie had been giving exhibi- tions at Blmwood Park for several days. Thureday his machine acted badly and he had a fall of about 4 feet but beyond bruises and a shak- ing up was not injured. He was skeptical about the ability of his ma- chine to stand another flight yes- terday and announced that he would not take the air in the afternoon, but when this statement was commu- nicated to the crowd there was an angry demonstration. The specta- tors hooted and shouted ‘“‘fakir!”’ and refused to listen to explana- tions. Mr. Frisbie announced that mather than have the crowd €o0 away with the impregsion that he was not willing to do his best, he would attempta flight. He ascend- ed without difficulty and attained a height of 100 feet but in attempt- ing to make a turn the plane tip- ped and Frisbie lost control. As he came crashing to the earth the spectators.could see the aviator trying to right the machine, but as it approached the ground one of the wings crashed into a barn and the biplane, glancing off, struck the earth with Frishie underneath. Frisbie’s wife, son and little girl Were witnesses of the accident and Mrs. Frisbie was prostrated when she saw her husband fall. Last night she bitterly denounced the action of the spectators in forcing ber husband to make the flight with a disabled machine. Troyes, France, Dispatch, 24.

The accident occurred at Rigny La Noneuz, 25 miles from Troyes, and the man who met death had Made more than one hundred flights without an accident. He was con- sidered.one of the most expert avia- tors in France. The accident to De Grailly had barely been reported to the offi- cials here when word came from Tousses Le Noble that Captain De Camine, also the hero of a hundred flights, had been killed by the falling of his machine. Captain De Camine, however, was flying in an event distinct from that in which De Graiity tost his tife. In plain view of a horde of Sat- urday night pleasureseekers, H. C. Brown,a balloonist of Lansing, Mich., fell into the lake at Lake- wood park last night and was drown- ed before assistance could reach him. The accident occurred through the tearing of the balloon while Brown was in the air. Carried over the lake by a wind from the southwest, the huge bag sank lower and lower above the water, until it was within some 20 feet of the surface of the lake, when its occu- pant jumped. Boats were upon the spot within four minutes after the unfortunate man had plunged into the lake, but no trace of him could then be found. [The body was found a few hours later.) In his performance on Friday night, the aeronaut had a narrow escape from injury, when his bal- loon became entangled with a tree near to the park airdome, and’ ‘its occupant was forced to jump from a considerable distance. Mr. Brown came to the city a few weeks ago and secured Mr. Charles H. Kuehle as his manager for this territory, Making at once a number of bookings for local flights, the principal contracts being with the Lakewood management. Hée hai also secured dates with the officials of the Mecklenburg Fair Association to give a number of performances here during the four days of this event. Brown came here immediately from Cherryville, where a few days prior he suffered the loss of his balloon by fire, the heavy canvas catching just as he was about to make the- ent. —-At the sale of property at auc- tion at the court house Saturday the Jas.

To which the Moores- ville Enterprise responds: My.. Esapy W. Brawley, on route No. 2; Mr. S. F. Ludwig, on route No. 3; also'Parmér G: L. McKnight, e@ithough the latter lives in town and is a deputy sheriff. The Enterprise admits that Mr. McKmight lives in town and we happen to know that Mr. Brawley aig practically a town man. If ‘he @oean't live inside the corporate lim- its of Mooresvile he is in the sub- arba, and, moreover, while he ts Wery much of a farmer he is also ‘wery much of a business man— tanker, etc. So this eliminates two from the list as the question was propounded by The Landmark. We don’t know about Mr. Ludwig. He May pass. Several Statesville busi- mess and professional men who own, machines also own farmsand might be called farmers, but they are mot the “real farmere’’ The Land- mark was asking about. . es s The following information is from a New York dispatch to the Baltimore Sun: What appears to be a plan for re- eouping the cost of the trust-dis- @olving litigation by taking the price from the cigarette-smoking pub lic was revealed today by a retailer of tobacco. The report was that the American Tobacco Company, the so- called tobacco trust, defendant in the recentFederal suit,had sent out printed schedules, to be retained in the hands of its salesmen. The @alesmen were instructed not to let the schedules get out of their hands or become public, but to show them to the retailers to inform them of a | 50-cent raise per 1,000 on five Drands of cigarettes. The company wells a million of each brand a day. it was computed that a 50-cent raise per 1,000 on the 5,000,000 would net $2,500 more profits to the company daily, or $912,500 a year. The above statement is doubtless correct—at least The Landmark Dopes it is. In this case this pa- per is heartily in sympathy with the American Tobacco Company. A tax on cigarette smokers cannot be made too high. If it could be made @o high that the smokers would ‘‘go broke” it would be better for the @mokers and the community in which they live. s s s Referring to The Landmark's inquiry if any Iredell farmer owns | an automobile, the Newton News observes: We bet there will be scads of them after those $400,000 are in- vested in good roads over im your sounty. Most farmers in the mid- dle West have their machines for pleasure as well as for business. jand finally reaches the top. loll will continue to rise im the wick The roads make it worth while. Certainly the Iredell farmers! are going to owm automobiles, if they have none now it isn’t because | they are not able to buy, for they | are. By and by, with good roads, the farmer wil] own an automobile mot simply as a luxury, as the News| @ays, but as convenience and a time-saver, just as he owns modern @gricultural machinery. In its criticisms of the automobile frem time to time, The Landmark has mot meant to convey the idea that @hese machines should be eliminat- @4. They have come to stay and ee time passes will become more wgeful than ornamental. The criti- wlem was not directed at the ma- thine it at the fellow who, when “he site at the wheel of one, thinks all else should get off the ¢arth. % te not the machine. that is ob- jJectinable—if one can afford it— &t is the fool behind the wheel who sometimes makes it objection- able. Ymmigration to Canada and to the United States. Baltimore Sun. During the single month of July 11,012 citizens of the United States “emigrated to Canada. In four monthe 54,814 have gone over the line to make thier homes.

The Souring of Land By Turning Under Grass Crope. J. L. Burgess, N. C. Dept. culture, On one occasion a good farmer came to me and said: “Last spring I plowed under a heavy crop of crim- son clover, planted my corm and got nothing. My land was soured and my crop was killed.” Another said he had plowed under a heavy crop of peavines late in the sum- mer, sowed wheat and got no stand. The land soured and the wheat fail- ed/to germinate. Still another said he plowed under a“heavy crop of vines and weeds which rendéred the soil so acid he was unable to grow a crop for three or four years afterward. We could give a long list of names of men who by their own practical experience have proven to themselves conelusively that the use of green manure positively does sour the land and renders it infertile for a long time. Now, if one is out for a difficult job,just let him attempt to dissuade these men from the be- Mef that their land has been soured by the use of green manure. They stick to the old idea as tenaciously as to their right arma. They fee! that their theory is based on prac- tical experience, and what is better in the substantiation of any theory than practical experience? Nothing, to be sure. Now, we have all had experiences We know that certain effects fol- low certain causes, Moreover, we instinctively assign some cause for every effect. Frequently without taking the trouble to investigate the fact on which eyr conclusions § ar« based. Admitting that all facts are covered by some theory, one should always check hig theory by h facts and strive to bring his facts in line with the correct theory. We often sustain loss by assigning the wrong cause to an observed eft fect. The farmers referred to above plowed the green manure under, planted crop and received no return There wassome cause, to be sure, for the failure of the crop. Some one guessed the green stuff soured the soil and further investigation was generally thought useless. Some advised the use of lime to correct this acid condition. Few farmers, however, were disposed to buy enough lime to correct the targe amount of acid they could imagine would be developed in the decay of so large an amount of green manure plowed under. The result was that they did not use the green manure, fearing the detrimental effects on the soil, and the land has remained poor for Jack of humus to this day. Now, what really happens when a heavy crop of green manure turned into the land? In order to make the explanation clear we will have to bring to our aid a few terms and fundamental principles of physics, but these are simple and easily understood. Fill a lamp full of oil, put the wick in it and note what happens. The oil begins to rise in the wick The Agri- till every drop is taken out of the bowl of the lamp. The oil in the lamp bowl is called gravitation oil; that in the wick is called capillary oi). The rain falls on the land and gravitation pulls it down several feet below the surface. This is called gravitation water. When the sun shines this same water be- gins to climb up between the fine j/particles of soil just as the oil |climbs the wick, and continues to climb until it reaches the surface, wnere it is dried up by the sun | just as the oll is burned away by |the flame. This is called capill: water. This capillary water contin- ues to rise to the surface of the soil until every drop is taken out of the subsoil and dispensed into the air as vapor. No farmer would hope to grow a crop with the water in the .first six inches of soil only. He expects the moisture to rise to the surface from depths ranging from three to five feet below. Now, let us cut the lamp wick in two and let the two pieces come within onesixteenth of an inch of each other. At the same time we will put a wide thin board six inch- es below the surface of the soil. Let the lamp burn and let thesun shine on the soiland see what hap- pens. You have foumd that your oil did not rise above the cut place in the wick and your lamp has gone out while there was an abundance of oil in the bowl. You haye found also that the six inches of soi] above the board is dry as dust while that is quite moist under the board. Why? Because the air space cut off the rise of oi] in the wick and the solid board cut off the rise of moisture from the great reservoir below to the aix inches of soil above it. But what has this to do with the “‘souring of the land?’’ Nearly everything. The phenomenon called the ‘“‘souring of the soil’ is nearly always based on the principles out- linéd above. Instead of using the board let us plow under a alx or eight ton crop of green clover or cowpeas, eight or ten inches deep. Lét this miase of vegetation Iie dur- ing the month of August, say, then examine it after a hot, dry period of ten days or two weeks and see what has occurred. You might use some blue litmus paper and test for acid. If there is an appreciable amount of acid present you will ret a red color in the Iitmus pa- per but be sure to tear up the vines and examine the soj] just below; also examine carefully ta@® eight or ten inches of soil just above” the mass of vines Your litmus will not likely be covered at all, because you are not likely to find any acid but you will find the soil just below the vines as wet as mud, perhaps, while the eight or ten }top of the vines will be dry as dust, Here you bave the explanation o, inches on | the “souring” effect of gream um- aure on well4irained landa. ee ROWAN MEN IN OONGRESS.

In the same year, On Novewber 21st, North Carolina ratified the Federal ccnstitution, Moutford Stokes was for a num ber of years clerk of Rowan Su- peritor Court and clerk of the Sen- ate, where he enjoyed Buch popu- larity as to be elected Senator in Congress, which at that time he declined In 1836 he was egain elected Senator in Congress but was then living ‘n another county. In 1815 the North Carolina Leg- islature elected Francis Lock to the Senate’ He was an old bach- elor, set in his ways and resigned because he preferred the pleasures of private life to the honors and vexations of office.

In the opinion of Congressman R. L. Doughton, of North Carolina, the prospects of the Democratie party have never been brighter. He gees victory on every hand and is well pleased with the work of the extra session of Congress just now finished. Asked what he thouBht of the outlook, Mr. Dough- ton said: “I will say candidly that in my judgment the Democratic party has faithfully endeavored to keep its pledges to the people. The Repub- lican party having the control of the executive branch of the govern- ment, and also the upper house of Congress, we will be judged more by what we have attempted to do than by what we have accomplished for we could only enact such legis- lation as public sentiment would force the President and the Sen- ate to allow to be enacted into! laws, “Our leadership has been able, | wise and thoroughly Democratic and the two men who will come out of this session with most glory are Speaker Clark and Chairman Un- derwood.

The inter-denominational con- vention of the Laymen’s Missionary Movement will be held in Broad Street church, Statesville, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The fol- lowing facts about the convention are taken from a folder issued by the local committee: This convention is a projection tn- to further life and activity the in- terest and enthusiasm developed a6 a result of the recent extensive National Missionary Campaign of 1910-1911, and 6eeks to give expres sion to sis initiative, and provide for an imtelligent and adequate un- dertaking of the missionary work of the Church. It is believed that there can be no permanent growth of missionary activity in churches unless there is underlying all the enthusiasm a thorough basis of mis- sionary intelligence, such as will be presented at this convention. The purpose of the convention will be to carefully study the pest plan for deepening and extending the missionary spirit of the churches. This conference, while i will be largely inspirational in value, the educational side will be prominent, The latest and best methods will pot only be elucidated, but put into operation before us. There will be no collections or stbecriptions solec- ited. be men of wide reputation, to give the benefit of their experience, and include: Mr. J. H. Tucker, Asheville; Mr. A. W.

New York Dispatch. Charles €. Kurtzman, a Fifth av enue milliner,who has returned from | Europe,has at his fingers’ ends all the latest tips on the coming fash- ions. Listen to him: “Skirts are going to be cut open | in front, just enough to reveal the ankles, and, as a result, women will take greater care in the selection of boets and—er—stockings.”’ “This new style of dress,’’ Mr Kurtzman went on, “will be just the opposite of the hobble skirt. It will permit of frée action of the limbs and will be far more grace- ful in the way it falls from the hips. The aristocratic Parisienne of New York women will dress in simple, quiet fine style, instead of the extreme and foolish style of the past two years.”’ Curved lines will again come {n- to fashion. Straight lines will be discarded and no matter how much like a string bean a woman may appear, her costumer will make her look round and plump. Mr. Kurtzman said long, point ed trains would come in and fur and large velvet hats trimmed with paradise or ostrich plumes would. be generally worn. DIGESTION AND ASSIMILATION.

The heed for it to meet eur- yent expenses was on account of ex- Pected delay in the certification of the tax assessments by the corpora- tion commission against railreads and other corporations, especially the*rallroads, and the comméesion Bow advises the Governor that the certifications can be meade at once 89 that the State Treasurer can Procéed with the collection of the railroad taxes. This will afford ample funds for all the immediate needs of the State. The delay in the certification of the assessments was expected by the Legislature in view of the quadrienial reassess- ment work devolving on the commie- sion this year. It was for this rea- 80n that the specia) act was passed authorizing a loan, if the couneli of State deemed it necessary. Tried to Beat Train Across the Trestle and Lost the Race. A dispatch from Brevard to the dally papers says that George Potts, colored, was killed by a work train on the Southern, in Transyilva- nia county, Saturday about noon. Potts is said to have been un- balanced mentally. He was grazing @ cow ‘beside the raflroad track as the train approached. Just as it was about 120 feet from a short trestle, Potts suddenly jumped in front of the train and attempted to beat it across the trestle. There Was not time for the train to stop, and he was caught almost as he reached the end of the trestle. His ueck was broken, right side crush- ed, right foot cut off, and the right side of skull fractured. No blame seems to attach to the train crew Well Digger Met Death in Surry. The Mt, Airy News says Mr. Win- born Scott met death while work- ing in a well at the home of Mr. R. E. Marion, in the southern part of Surry county.

When he was near the top of the well he | jfainted and fell back a distance of |about 65 feet. Death was probably | instantaneous, as his neck and back and hip were broken. No- body wanted to take the risk of going down after the body and it iwas several hours later when it was drawn eut by a hook.

Standard Oil Company Fornumily Dissolved. Washington Dispatch, Aug. 31. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the corporation which has been the storm-centre of anti-trust ag- itation throughout the country for years, today passed out of existence, 80 far as its present form and func- tions were concerned. After today this famous corporation will have ceased officially to carry on its opera- tions as the head of a vast organiza- tion whose activities extend into al- most every part of the world. In obedience to the decree of disso- lution of the Supreme Court, it is to relinquish its control of the subsidiary concerns, and today was the date set for the ending of the old regime. With the end of the business day the company’s transfer books, containin: the list of stockholders, and the stoc of its subsidiaries were distributed among the stockholders in the parent organization as on record at that time. The work of apportioning the com- pany’s holdings of the stock of more than 30 subsidiaries affected will oc- cupy at least three months, it is ex- pected, so that the readjustment will not be complete prior to December 1. An official of the company said to- day that the only element of doubt as to the general effect of re-otganiza- tion upon the present stockholders lay in the ability of the constituent companies, operating independently, to produce as large a total of profits as has been possible under the pres- ent form of management. As to whether this can be done, he said, only the future will disclose. Suit Against Alleged Lumber Trust.

We hope that Mr.} Leonard’s sweet song book may have a good patronage and a fair showing. He proposes to furnish the books for the contestants at his own expense, they to be returned | after the contest.

There will also be the usual contest by classes us- ing any book they wish. We hope the county will be more largely rep- resented by classes this time than it has hitherto been. We also gladly welcome classes from other counties We hope the people in southIredell will not be offended at us for our continual requests, but we do beg that we may have some classes from that section of the county, even if they do not wish to enter the contest. We think this would be a good thing for us if lfor nothing else than from the B0o- | cial viewpoint. ! I think we in a former article urged upon, the superintendents of Sunday schools, leaders of classes, pastors of churches, the duty of pressing this very important matter upon the people You can in a very large measure help to bring about what may properly be called a musical reform—a thing that w think is so much needed By this reform we mean that whereas now only asmall per cent. of the people take an active interest in singing, then practically all, would be inter- ested We think that when this reform has been brought about there will be less of lawlessness and crime, shorter terms of court, fewer con- victs on the roads and in the pet- itentiaries. The singing boy or girl is the exception to be taken to those places. Therefore, in cenclu- sion and in behalf of society, the Sunday school, the church, the State, in the language of one who recently addressed a musical gath- ering, “Sing on, sing on, sing on} sing, sing, sing.” Success to The Landmark and its many readers, both singers and list-| eners 8.

With his arm through the package hole in the act of stealing regis- tered mail and packages from the Shelby postoffice, Charlie Miller, 0 eee - e colored, was caught by the arm by Postmaster B. A. Baber at Shelby early Thursday morning, says a | Shelby special to the Charlotte Observer. The postmaster was in- side of the office watching for the suspected burglar, who has been making regular visits to the office, usually about 5 o’clock in the morning. Policeman Bob Ken- drick and Wilbur Baber were with the postmaster, but they had giv- left the office:' In less than five minutes after these watehmen left the negro entered the waiting room of the postoffice and began run- ning through the mail that had been dropped during the nigit. Mr. Baber had put in a special de livery letter to decoy the negro and hé had this in hie hand when the postmaster grabbed his arm. The negro gave one loud shriek and pulled away. He turned through an alley and ran into the arms of Policeman Kendrick. Miller was searched and in his pockets were found about 100 teen or more were keys to the post- office boxes, that he had stolen. Officers searched Miller’s home and town, goods stolen from a number of stores, burglar’s full outfit, con- sisting of a search light, chisels, wrenches, screw-drivers, etc. er for the larceny of tools and given a sentence of 12 months on the reads. gentence he will be held for the Federal authorities. dormitory at the institution will give $15,000. ready been subacribed.

How the $400,000 of Bond Money ts to Be Expended—(laimed That ‘Work Can Be Dole By County Cheape: Than By Contractoss— Some Contracts to Be Let. BZome weeks ago it was stated that the county had bought imple- mente for two squads of road Workers; that teams would be hired ftom farmers and as many local people as needed employed on the work, to give citizens the benefit of the expenditure of the road bond fapue as far as possible. At the @ame time {it was stated that sec thons of road work would be let by comtract and the cost of the work done by contractors and the county compared to see which was the legs expensive. A squad of hands recently began work under county auspices, with Mr. J. O. Gaither in charge, on the Wilkesboro road, near the Morrison mill. Phis is the first work to be done from the proceeds of the bond issue ‘At the meeting of the county com missioners Monday, the county read advisory board, consisting of ome member from each township (all these being present except three), meeting with the commis- eioners, it was decided to buy equipment for four additional squads of road workers, making six in all, and also to buy 42 mules, seven mules for each squad. The reason for buying this number of mules in- stead of hiring all the stock from local people is that it is found nec- eeasary to have trained teams for plows and snatch teams. The _ lo- cal people who have teams for hire will hire them only when they are trot needed for farm workand where a == aa STATESVILLE, N. C., FREDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1911. To be certain that he can exer- cise hig right to vote in the New York elections in the future, Mr. A. 9. Adeleon, a native of Poland, who was at one time a resident of Statesville but is now living § in New York, came to Statesvillethis week and through his attorney, Mr. W. A. Bristol, secured a new certificate of naturalization from the clerk of Fredell Superior Court Mr. Adeison was naturalized while living here in 1896 but the naturalization papers were lost some time sincé and the records destroy- ed. Recently rigid election laws have been passed in New York which requires of the foreign-born Citizens a certificate of naturaliza- tion before they are allowed to cast their ballot, and not’ caring to be digfranchived because of the loss of his papers Mr. Adelson came te Statesville and through Mr. Bristol made application to Clerk Hartness for the restoration of the natur- alization certificate. Through inves- tigation into records evidence was secured to show that the petition- er had been duly naturalized in 1896 and Mr. Hartness issued the new papers. As a part of the evidence a poll book for ward No. 2, Statesville, showing that Mr. Adelson was duly recorded there, produced. : Mr. Adelson was a resident of Statesville for several years and was in the mercantile business on Center street. He came to Amer- ica when a small boy and attained hie majority while living here.

With reference to the ¢ounty do- ing the work and having it done by comract, Engineer Fallis estimates that the coumty can do & much cheaper. He says that in railroad work, where the grading is heavy, the price by contract ranges from 20 to 30 cents per yard. In county road work the grading will be much Mghtet and by reason of the fact that the equipment will have to be moved oftener than on rail- road work, the contractor would not find it as profitable as the heavy railroad grading and it is doubtful if the bids would be as Jow as for raflroad work. It is estimated that the county can do the work at 12 to 15 or 18 cents the yard. In or- der, however, that the two methods may have a fair trial, one section « road work will be let by contract and bids are now being advertised for. When the bond campaign was on a good many people insisted that the chain gang was costing more than it was worth, and that the section of macadam road built by contract (the Taylorsville road) is @ better road and cost less than the work done by the chain gang. While they did not have the fig- ures to prove the correctness of their position and it cannot be pos- itively said that their contention “was well founded,they believed it was andin consequence insisted that if the bonds were voted the chain gang shoyld be abolished and the work done by contract. In defer- ence tg thia sentiment the county commissioners passed a resolution to the effect that if thé bonds were voted the work would be done by contract and the chain gang force would be hired to the con- tractors. The action taken by the commisssioners and the adviso- ry board is directly contrary to this promise, but they have made the change in the light of the facts stated and for the reasons given. If the correctness of their position is demonstrated there will be of course no objection. All the people want {s to have every dollar of the Toad bond money expended so0 as to bring its full worth in road work. Something has been gaid with ref- erence to the expenditures for Cen- tral Highway lines through the coun- ty, the idea being that it is the purpose to spend a lot 6f extra money on the Mines designated as the Central Highway. These lines are important public roads which would be improved iff the Central Highway had never been heard of and so far as The Landmark knows ft is not the purpose to make them any better than the other roads which are to be improved. The Oek- tral Highway requirement simply calla for a good road, such a road as it is proposed to build elsewhere in the count}, and so far as The Landmark is concerned it would op- pose making these roads any better than the other main roads of the county aimply because they are des- ignated as Central Highway lines.

Upon the argument, it is gener- ally conceded, much will depend, as the defense expects to make its strongest plea on the dangers of accepting circumstantial evidence. The prosecution's main broadside will be aei.vered along the same lines as cbharacteriged its rigid cross-ex- amination of the prisoner and will for big cousin Henry on Saturday, July 15, come to be in the hands of the alleged highwayman on Mid- lothian turnpike on the night of Tuesday, July 18? | The defence has udmjtted by tte witnesses that Paul purchased the very gun which later was identi- |fied by Henry as the one that kill- ed his wife, but his only reason for the admission was that ‘there was not far from the scene of the crime He has denied, however, that he saw or knew of the guy before the highwayman leveled it on Midlothian turnpike, because Beattie’s car almost collided with him. The defenee has attempted ta puncture the stoty of Paul Beattie; the cousin of the accused, who not: only told of the purchase of the weapon, but the alleged confession eas to his having transferred the gum to Henry on Saturday night. July 15, and by one witness, DP. H Neblitt, charged that Paul had a shot gun with him on Sunday, July 16, at the bridge where Paul was employed as a watchman. The Com- monwealth introduced several wit- nesses to combat the testimony of Neblitt, who today was said to be himself on the verge of admitting that he was mistaken. To imtimate friends he already is said to have made such ai declaration. Other points in Paul's story of his meet- ing with Henry have been attacked, but the Commonwealth considers intact in its main features. Evidence in this famous case was concluded Tuesday and argument began yesterday, the court adjourn- ing for a day to settle with coun- sel points about the charge. Hen- | ry C. Beattie, the accused, who and a part of Tuesday, made a fine | witness. He maintained his nerve nal story that his wife was shot by a highwayman.

' ' —y ¥ THE LANDMARI WRIDAY, — — September 8, 1911. MEXICANS OOMING ON. They're coming on fine in Mexico. The “Progressive party” held a con- wention a few days ago to nomi- wate candidates for President and ‘Viee President. Francisco I. Ma- @ero, the leader of the revolution wy which President Diaz was ousted, ‘wes nominated for President with- ut trouble, but when they came to name a candidate for Vice President the dance was on. It was a reminder of the dead-lock- eda conventions we have in this coun try. We have had a few, somewhat jess strenuous but sufficient to give test to the occasion, in North Carolina. There were many ballots in this Mexican convention and outbreaks that required the pres ence 0° the police. Dr. Vasquez Gomex was a leading candidate but very unpopular with a portion of the convention. Finally Madero war consulted with reference to the matter. He didn't want Gomez but at the same time he showed him- eelf a politician by pledging the convention to support whoever was nominated. When: it was known that Madero didn't want Gomez his fate was sealed and Jose Pino Sua- rez, Governor of Yucatan, was nominated. So far so good. The Mexicans Bhowed up in thé convention very much like the Americans, but in the matter of opposition candi- dates they area trifle too strenuous Gen. Bernardo Reyes is a candi- @ate for the presidency in opposi- tion to Madero. When he attempt- ed io address his fellow citizens in @ne of the principal thoroughfares @f Mexico City a few evenings ago, he was not only stoned and forced to abandon the effort, but was “forcibly robbed of 3,000 pesos,” the “ispatches tell us. That is car- fying the matter a little too far. In this land of freedom we some- mes, in the heat of campaigns, deny the right of free speech—at least there have been such instan- es in the past; and over-ripe eggs, ff not etones, have on occasion been thrown at unpopular political @rators. But we can’t recall that ,@t any t'me any of those who have suffcicd these little pleas- entries at the hands of the suffra- gang have bad their money taken Gen like unte a hoop and who have never been a success in “heading hogs,” are beholden to the man who is so bold as to claim that jbow legs are of proper architec- |tural construction and should be | cultivated ; and they will be lacking \{n gratitude if they do not join Mr. Gus, Self in making proper obe- siance. Now if some one will stand up and say a good word for the folks whose toes turn in, the bow- legged and the pigeon-toéd will no longer sorrow as those without hope. The Landmark ts inclined to be- Heve that the railroad companies will be able to show that railroad property is assessed higher in pro- portion to its. value than the real estate. Whether railroad property is assessed at ite true value, as the railroads claim, this paper doesn’t know, but it doés know that real estate in North Carolina, judging by the the assessments in this part of the State,is hardly assesseé at two-thirds value on the average. Some of it falls as low as 25 and 33 1-3 per cent. and the glaring outrage of the whole matter is that the more valuable the propeerty the less the assesament in propor- tion to value. There used to be much complaint in this part of the country that children were often kept out of school to work on the farms. The cause of the complaint is not eo- ;tirely removed bat the disposition to sacrifice a chi)d’s opportunity for lan @ducation for what work he loan do is not near 80 great jas formerly.

Rey. KH, L. Bain, presiding elder of the Statesville district, writing in the Charlotte Observer of the famous Rock Spring camp ground in Lincoln county, gives the fol- lowing interesting information about a proposed change of methb- ods: Oburches: dot the land. Thirty or 40 Methodist preachers occupy the territory to which Asbury and McGee were assigned. The meth- ods of evaugelism have changed. We front a new world of thought. The old camp-meeting, glorious in its day, is an anachronism now. For the last decade er more, as in the fondly-cherished past, preachers of unusual ability, some of them born in parsonages, in the wery air of the holy traditiong of Methodism, have preached at Rock Spring. It is both amusing and pitiful to see one of them, to whom camp-meeting is a tradition and a sentiment, preaching, fondly think- ing that he shall accomplish some thing really worth while by his ef- forts. ‘“‘Why not?” he might ask. “Here are over 300 families tent- ing, besides many camping in their schooner wagons on the circle with- out. They have come to camp- meeting, they want, the Gospel.” The horn blows and a host as- Bembles. They listen well; that ds all. On Sunday six, eight or ten thousand people will surge about the grounds. All are so decent, so orderly, that there was no policeman appointed this year. The crowd is MATTERS OF NEWS. Frank F, Capers, a prominent banker of Greenville, 8. ©., a son of Bishop Capers and a brotherof Capt. John G.

The actual money invested in hotels in Switzerland is $160,000,- 000, The payment of the interest on this sum, the maintenance of the properties anda profit on the enormous bpsiness, which employs many thousands of people, is prac- tically all paid by tourists who go to Switzerlahd in pursuit of health, recreation and pleasure. The State entomologist of South Carolina issued an order prohib- iting, after September 10, the im- portation of cotton into the State from Texas, Arkansas, Okla- homa, Missiasippi and Louisiana, on account of the boll weevil.

They wight use eggs instead of wtones in their gentle passages at arms on the hustungs, but we can- mot consent that it is the proper thing, wher a political opponent has been run off the stump, to rob tkim of" his money. ” Alas for the deterioration of American horsemanship! The mod- ern means of locomotion has made horseback riding almost one of &he lost arte—the more’s the pity —aasd the United States government has found it necessary to send ar my officers to France to learn how to ride, and when they have learned they will come back home and teach the officers and men in the army. Now doesn’t that jar? Having to go abroad to learn from the French how to ride! In the old days, when horseback riding wes practically the only means trave] except afoot, the world saw no better riders than the Americans But few of the old schoo! are left. Still we can’t think that it is mecessary for the army officers to Zo abroad to learn how to ride. If they want to see riders of the old School, mén who know how to sit horses and who would put the French riding masters to shame, The Landmark suggests that they invite Dr. J. J. Mott and Mir. Wes- dey M. Nicholson, of Statesville, to show them how. Those gentlemen @re getting along in years and . may not be in quite as good form @s they were a few years ago, but they can still give odds to the ex- wert when it comes to sitting on a horse. oO Genator Smith, of South Caroli- ma, considers the latest estimate by the Department of Agriculture [of the size of the cotton crop] is too high and promises to continue his efforts for accurate estimates.

Horace Gibbs, a white farmer, was killed in a battle between five white men and five negroes near Caddo, Oklahoma, Saturday night. The white men declare they were fired upon while the negroes say the whites were the aggressors. As a result of the race feeling, the blacks fled from Caddo and much of the surrounding country. A dispatch from Caddo saya’ the exodus started Sunday morning, from the reports of the killing of Gribble, and continued throughout the day. No warning notices were necessary. The blacks took fright temper of the whites and to remain another night. going trains were crowded while extra facilities were required for the handling of their baggage and express.. More than 1,500 purchas- ed tickets for McAlester, Muskogee, Atoka, Okla., and Bonham, White- right and Denison, Texas, and smaller towns. The ticket sales amounted to nearly a thousand dol- lars. . Cattle, hogs and crops were sac- rificed at ridiculous priceg in or- der to raise money, while much oth- er personal property was left be hind. Farmers were in an angry mood following the report of the killing, but the community is quiet since the negroes have fled. A large Sunday crowd at the depot cheer- @d each departing train which car- ried the blacks from the town. The three negroes arrested for the killing were taken in an auto- mobile to Tishomingo.

Mr. Mc- Cormick issued this statement a the progressive headquarters: “It is plain from the President’s speech at Hamilton last Saturday that he has learned nothing from the election of last Nevember. “No wonder that from New Year's until adjournment the over- wheiming majority of the two houses of Congresa, Democratic or Repub- lican, Standpat or Progressive, has been of the opinion that if Taft were renominated he could not be reselected. ‘They remembered that his eulo~ gy of Aldrich and his defense of the Payne tariff law was followed by the landalide of 1910, when more than 80 Standpat Congress- men lost their seats and the Pro- gressives in theHouse doubled their nambers If Taft had been running ui that campaign he would have poll- ed as ‘ew electoral votes as did Uryan in 1908 “Neither has anybody forgotten the Norton letters, which confess- ed that the President had tried to intimidate and coerce the Piigres- sives by taking from them the pa- tronage He failed t6 drive them once, and now he proposes to try again. “His sewing around the circle two years ago discovered hia weak- | himseif. iJ, years old, a niece of former Mayor Robert A.

FALLAS’ WORK IN FRANKLIN Good Read Work in Franklinton Township Under Supervision of Engineer in Charge in Iredell. Mr. W. W, Staley, writing to thé Raleigh News and Observer, speaks in highest terms of the good road work which has been done | in Franklinton township, Franklin county. The township issued $40,- 000 of bonds and the road work has been done under the supervis- fon of an executive committee ef three business men, whe served without pay. Mr. Staley says the Money has been expended in @ busi:ess-like way, wisely and 600- nomically, and further: “The engineer was W. T. Fallis, ot iarrisonburg, Virginia, and his work nas been very carefully and eucccesfully performed. Old roads were jgoored entirely and often miles were laid, out without touch- tng the old Hnes. The township is very hilly and hence the néw roads in inany parts are very crooked, though the curves are beautiful and make the drives more pic- turesque an! delightful. Many small streams and Tar river thread the township, and hence many bridges had to be constructed. Fifty miles of the 70 have already been constructed and 11 bridges—all but one built of steel or concrete abut- ments and piers. Junius Mulligan has had charge of the construction foree and he has proved himself cipable of executing the plans of the civil engineer. The roads are coustructed of clay and gravel on a vrade nowhere larger than four per cent. No material has been purchased beyond the township lim- Mooresville Lumber Co. $22.24, W. R.

All the fees are turned into the county treasury and the officers paid a atipulated salary. The Robesonian ways the officers are allowed the following amoumts for salary and help: Sheriff $4,800, clerk $4,100, register $4,300, treasurer $2,400 The allowance is certainly liberal but the Robesonian says it is estimated that after these amounts are paid wome $7,000 will be saved to the county. By which it will be seen that a cointy office in Robesor has been a fat job. That is certainly a big change that is to be made in the charac- ter of the meetings at Rock Spring campground. Instead of the old- style campmeetings, which have in this modern age ceased tobe camp- meetings of the old-etyle, the mod- ern chatauqua, religious assembly or conference, at which Bible study and kindred topics will be the chief features, will take its place. Time changes conditions and under the changed conditions the old-style ecampmeeting is no longer possible, and to attempt it is not benefi- cial. The change at Rock Spring 4g doubtless for the better, but it will take time for the’older peo- ple to get used to it and those who go for ‘a frojic will doubtless regret it. ’ The news comes from Texas that Senator Bailey will not be a can- dicate for ~e-election. “He himeelf ath said it’ and he says his de- eision is irrevocable. His term ex- pires a year from next March. A few years ago thie announcement would have caused consternation among Democrats. Senator Bailey was long regarded as the ablest Democrat in Congress. Latterly his measure has been more accur- ately taken. He is a man of very great ability but somewhat ovei® rated. He is pedantic, petulent, overbearing. His leaning is more toward “The Interests” than toward the masses. We can't see that the Democratic party or the country wil wuffer greatly in his retirement. I‘ 4s possible that his decision to re- tire may be in some measure in- Tluenced by the fear that he can't win if he is a candidate. There is -™Much opposition to him in Texas.

Speaking as the son of a Confed- erate solider, the writer is sorry to see Senator John Sharp Williams —who is indeed fast winning rec- ognition as about the strongest man in either branch of Congress——fall- ing into the error of asking a Fed- erel appropriation for a Confeder- ate monument. We are sorry, too, to hear any talk of asking Feder- al pensions for Confederate sol- diers. It has been fifty years now Since Sumter, and through al] this respect, asking no favors and wiash- ing none. Let it be to the end. Theresia fine passage in Brown's “Lower South in American Histo- ry” in praise of the Southerners who, ‘‘masters so long, were mas- terful to the last’; who never fell a-whimpering in the hour of defeat, but were of the mettle of the man who ‘‘goes on with the strong hand, and if he fights his fight to a finish, can turn his face to the wall and die and give no sign,’’ We should cherish no bitterness, but weshould keep our pride. It would be a tragic and pitiful anti-climax to one of the world’s mightiest dra- mas, if the South, after ite proud record of a full half-century, should now come a-whining for a few miserable crumbs from a pen- sion table fou] with graftand fraud If Federal pensions are everto be given the few remaining Confeder- ates, or Federal money used _ for Confederate monuments, let th North first make the offer. But for the sake of all our dead and In the August number of the Budget, a Baltimore insurance pa- Per, appeared the following bright paragiaph, full of comfort to a large part of the human race: “Bow legs are trustworthy. They embody the architectural prin- diple of the arch, which is strong- er than two straight pillars. The tortoise, who finished firet in that memorable marathon with the hare; the bulldog, who whatever the odds will finish first or die, both belong amors Lhe bow legs. The important thing, however, is a bow-legged mind. A mind that always moves in straight lines is“ splendid for speed in level places, but life is hot a cinder path. Human prog- ress ig due tO men of bow-legged mentality, the Roosevelt type, men like Lineoln, or Voltaire, for though these names belong to characters essentially unlike, the character of their growth shows the kinship of their minds. Mach at various times in his life was labeled a failure, for each came to understand that in human de velopment the shortest distance between two points is seldom a straight line, so they took a bow- legged gait, learning to sacrifice immediate speed in order to gain the advantage of a side view. At any particular instant they seemed to be going off at a tangent, yet, never stopping, always growing, they stendily zigzagged ahead. Cultivate bow legs.”’ As one of the comforted, our brilliant attorney, Mr. W. A.

Eo Replace Foreigners in Consular Service. Washington Dispatch. The question of supplanting with American citizens the great number of foreigners who hold posi- tions in the consular service of the United States will be taken up with Gongress at the next session, when the State Departmen will ask for an additional number of consular assistants to replace men owing allegiance to other countries. These foreigners, employed as clerks, sometimes occupy the -rela- tion of vice consul. The custom of bringing foreigners into the ser- vice has grown, it is said, because of the impossiility to secure Amer- icans for this clerical force far away from home with a maximum ealary limitation of $1,000. With a greater number of con- sular assistants, appointed by com- petitive examinations, who would be eligible for promotion right up through the line of the consular service, it ig believed thatthe situ- aton can be met. In some cases the foreigners in the service are also merchants =) the towns to which they are ac-| credited. Officials of the State | Department point out that this seems rather incongruous, in view of the fact that the primary ob- ject of the consular service is to promote American trade. Gov.

CLARANCE STONE. Editor The Budget. Story of Eleven Five Dollar Pieces, Rocky Mount Record. When their first child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Brake, on their farm in Edgecombe county, Mrs. Brake determined to make as certain as possible that her children should grow up clean, strong ex- amples of American womanhood or manhood. A family conference en- sued and it was decided by the proud parents to give to each of their children, when they should reach the age of 21 years, a five- doljar gold piece if they had not used tobacco or liquor in any form during their youth. This wags not to be so much of a financial reward of merit as a souvenir, a memorial of the strength and character they had shown. The years went by and other lit- tle ones came to gladden the hearts of the parents. As the children came to the years of their majori- ty, each one was given his golden medal. Lesterday Mr. Jesse Brake step- ped up to the cashier of a local bank and asked for a $5 gold piece and told the story of how he had given one to each of his children for the cleanliness of their lives. “And this one I am getting now,” he remarked, ‘‘makes the eleventh.” A pretty good testimonial as to the worth of North Carolina’s sons and daughters. ‘ The commissioners of county, who decided some months agoto builda newcourt house,have been wrestling over the matter of a site.

The time has |by disking and harrowing and s0Ww |15 pounds clean crimson clover passed when Southern farmers were | seed per acre, and if convenient, compelled to raise cotton. In former | years they were forced by necessity | to raise cotton, and cotton alone. Con- ditions have changed. Unless prices be high, that is, high as compared | with former years, they can make more money doing other thin. There is no moral obligation to the world to compel them to raise cotton, none many pepe seem to think so. If New England could turn its cot- ton mills into shoe factoriesand double the profits on the investment, and pay better wages to the laborers, nobody would say that New England must, sow also 300 pounds acid phosphate iper acre, as that will help to linsure a stand of clover. Some sow jin addition to this one pound of turnip seed per acre, preferably ithe Cowhorn variety, claiming that |the turnip leaves protect the jyoung clover plants in their early |stages. It can do no harm to 80W jthe turnip seed, as these crops lare intended to plow under next |spring to improve the soil. The seed should be covered with la cultivator or with a harrow about jone inch deep. In the western | Part of the State these should be put in at once so as to make suffi- )cient growth to withstand the win- lter. In the central part of the | State they should be put in not \later than the last of September, cause the world needs cotton goods. Now the Southern farmer can do a raise and sell cotton at a low price, and even 10 and 11 centsa pound may now be counted as a low price. He can do things that he could not have done a few years ago Industrial de- pecement is affording employment for thousands who were formerly com- pelled to raise cotton.

North Wilkesboro Special, Charlotte Observer. Code Lane, believed to be the man who shot Revenye Officer R. ®. ‘Henry, came in today and vol- untarily surrendered to the author- ities and is now in the county jail, and with him came also Welborn Nance, who is believed to have been implicated in the attack on the of- ficer. Rewards aggregating more than $1,000 had-been offered for Lane and he was outlawed Friday and has been hunted every day for two Weeks, since Officer Henry was e@hot. When Lane came back from the far West just before the shooting he brought $500 and deposited it dm a local bank and it is said that his inability to, get this made it impossible for him to escape. The following from the Wilkes- boro Chronicle changes the story somewhat: . “TL, §. Jolly, who is a one-legged man, arrested Nance at the home of his sister, Nettie Nance, late Mon- d@ay evening during a hard shower of rain. He was eating supper at the time Jolly walked in and he made no effort to resist. He de- nies having any thing to do with the shooting of Henry or with killing the horses. “Code Lane. was brought to town by Arthur Edsill, who lives in the neighborhool of Lane’s mother. lane went to Edsill’s house Monday night to get out of the rain. He spoke of being out-lawed, and Badsill per- suaded him that the best thing he could do would be to give up and go to jail, as being outlawed he was liable to be shot down at sight at any time.

Governor Kitchin grants a second pardon for 0. J. Arnett, of Samp- Gon county, who was under an 8&- year-eentence for secret assault. The first pardon was granted by Govern-/ or Glenn on condition that Arnett | remained law-abiding and sober. } Later it was called to the atten- tion of Governor Kitchin that sa wae drinking and disorderly on | ®everal occasions, the een feeling constrained to revoke the | pardon. Now, after two months’ | ®ervice in jail under the order of; @®evocation, the second pardon is granted, this time under the stip- Blation that he must remain sober and of good behaviour and appear mt each crimina) court in Sampson eounty for five years and show to the satisfaction of the judge that he is abiding by the conditions of the pardon. Arnett is ‘a cripple and the overwhelming sentiment of the community is for the pardon ander the terms that the Governor fe exacting.—Raleigh News Item: Gov. Kitchin evidently proceeds on the Scriptural injunction tHat the offendef should be forgiven Many times—seventy times seven, if need be. Whenever an offender can get anybody to take an inter- st in his case,for pay or otherwise, 4t is comparatively easy to get nur merous signers to a petition ask- ing for a pardon. The careless- Me6s of the general public in sign- ing petitions, regardless of the merits of the case, is proverbial Thus the case comes before the | Governor and it appearg that the €eneral public desires the thing | asked for. The Governor naturally feels that the people should know] better than he the merits of the case and should know what want,therefore the petition is grant- ed. This seems to be the case with Gov. Kitchin and it was the case with Gov. Aycock, who made a rec- | Ord as a pardoning Governor that will hardly be surpassed The Landmark aolds, that pardons and commutations should be rarely granted because | the reasons given for leniency, in the great majority of cases, rest | On sentiment rather than on the Solid ground of right and justice; and the Governor, who is the court | Of last resort in such cases, should Dot allow these appeals _ based | On sentiment te» move him. The | Majority of the people who sign pe- titions in such cases or make _ he) Appeals do not realize the seriousy | nése of the matter, take no thought | of responsibility for the action, | and if harm results they will | friticise the Governor for doing | What they asked him to do. More- Over the great majority would, if fhe ccher side was presented to them seriously, about face on the whole proposition. The Governor's sincerity of Purpcse is not questioned, and if there is doubt he can easily point to the public demand. If The Land- Mark believed that no harm re- Bulted ‘from frequent dons i offer no €veia when «it believed had becn made.

To have in one’s possession a weap- on that can be concealed about the person, or to carfy a weapon concealed, is made a felony, un- less ong is duly Icensed to the weapon. It follows of course that Neense, for this purpose is not granted to every person who may apply. Judge Justice, of the Superior Court bench of this State, has also been ‘highly commended for his action in Haljfax Superior Court the other day. When there was a conviction for carrying a con- cealed weapon he said: I will begin right now to make a change and impose no more fines for pistol toting. Let the de fendants go to the county roads for four months. The Landmark its in sympathy with the efforts to enforce the law against pistol toters, just as it is in sympathy with the enforce- ment of the entire criminal] law. There should be some method of granting permits, as in the cage of the New York law, but the grant- ing of permits should be safeguard- ed and when abused forever revok- ed. When that is done,to take care of the very few cases where it might be necessary for one to have a weapon, then the law should be made so drastic that one would find it safer to go without a weapon than to Carry one. Mean- time while there is no permit law in this State, unless one cdn snow clearly and unmistakably that the weapon was carried because he they |had good reason to believe he was | in danger, he should be so severely punished that he will not want to repeat the offence The great majority of pisto] toters carry the weapon as one of offence—to hurt hsomebody if they feel like it,with or/Save its trees from class | w:thout provocation That needs to be handled go severely that they will not want to see a weapon again The best editor State has known used to maintain that the citizen bad a perfect right to car- Ty &@ Coucgaled weapon; that he should be held responsible only for what he does with it. There is sound argument in this. While this paper believes the carrying of the weapon should be prevented—for a foo] with a gun in his pocket is @ dangerous man, whereas, with- Out the gun he would be entirely harmless—-but it insists that more attention should be given the man who uses the gun. Punish him for carrying it, but if he uses it ex- cept in a clear case of self-preser- vatiou, make the punishment so 5e- vere that ne will not care to of- fend a second time. The disposition of the courts is to overlook this part of the offence.

As au instance of this tendency may be mentioned the | definition of heaven lately given }by a preacher in Louisville, Ken- tueky. According to him, the ce lestial palace is nothing more or less than a large apartment house “In Revelation 21-1,” he Says, “‘ner- vous Christians have read where the dimensions of heaven are only 1,500 cubic miles: Immediately they jump at the conclusion that even this space will not aceommcdat the vast multitude of which the Bible speaks. However, calcula- tions will] show that this space w '! accommodate a buildtag 792,000 stories high, and, counting rooms of ten cubic feet the first floor of the structure would have 267,- 265,000 such rooms. Multiplying this by 792,000, it is @asy to dem- onstrate that such a building would accommodate an innumerable mul- titude.” Discussion of such a Statement is useless. How can there be any material measure of heaven? Who knows that space will Méan there what it does here? An effort to describe measure in heaven is like an effort to find a traveler returning from the Mysterious bourne of death—impossible.

Recalling that 30 years ago John T.' Milner, one of the most pcg fy. Alabamians of hie day, expect- ed the increase of white population | and a decrease of negro population | to wipe out the so-called race prob | lem within 30 years, the Moutgom- | ery Advertiser finds cause for as | tonishment in the vital statistics of | the recent census on racial lines. | While the negro hopulation ‘etill | increases, the, increase is smaller every year, aid removal to North- jern States makes the increase in the South smaller than elsewhere. Twenty’ years ago, as the Adver- tiser notes, there were four South- ern States which contained more ne- Sroes than whites, ag agajnst only two—South Carolina and Missi sei p- Pi—today. Louisiana and Florida have™become white. “Both Louis- flana and Florida,” remarks ovr contemporary, “are enterprising States in which energetic and suc- cessfu) efforts have been made to sécure white immigrants from oth- er States. In 1890 Florida had a large excess of negroes over whites. In 1900 the white population ha 80 increased that it was 67,000 in excess of the negro populatin.- In 1910 its excess of white amounted to 146,600. Louisiana, which alao hed a négro majority.in population in 1890, showed an excess. of whites of 67,0Q0 in 1900, which has | been increased to 150,000 or 160,- 000 by the count which hag just been completed. \The New Orleans Times-Democrat Saya.that the ne STO population in Louisiana has | been decreased by the ravages of | jthe boll weevil, and the inability | }of the megroes to meet new agricul }tural conditions The Times-Demo- | crat thinks that when the census figures relating to Mississippi are | made public there will be showr | ja large proportionate increase of ; the white population of Mississippi | and a probable decrease of the ne- &rce population which showed the jlarge excess of 266,000 in 1900.” —X—X__——— Boy Dpsperadaes Frightened Laugh.

The State corporation commission is to be commended for its action in ordering an investigation of tax assessments in some of the coun- ties, where, it is evident, railroad Properties have been assessed out of all proportion to farming lands. A State news item shows that the Seaboard is getting up data in Amson county. The claim is made by the Southern that in comparison it has been excessively assessed in Davidson and Forsyth, and Pitt and Wilson counties are said to be offenders also. It is the duty of the corporation commission to see that the valuations in each county are based on the require- ments of the State tax regula- tions. For a long time there has been a disposition on the part of the authorities of some counties to “gouge the railroads.—Charlotte Chronicle. This statement would leave the inference that the railroad lines in. each county are assessed by the counties and that the counties have P asgxs --Nroed property high- er : * 5 TY e Chrer = icle dees ne an that, bet {'s remarks are liable to be that way. Railroad property is of course assessed by the State commission, alias the corporation commission, and assessed as a whole. Being assessed as a whole, it might follow that lands in some counties through which railroad “lines run could be assessed at a much lower rate in proportion and stil! be assessed high enough, for it is of course a fact that valuable raijroad lines do run through some Mighty poor country on occasion It igs a fact, however, that the disposition is to assess corporations to the limit, while generally speak- ing the real estate is not assessed as the law requires. But whatever inequalities exist is a matter for the State tax commission. The com- mission assesses the railroad prop~ erty and has the power to pass on and revise the property assess- ments of the counties, so that if Property assessments in any coun- ty are not high enough, or if ine- quality exists, the commission has the remedy in hand. We have idea that, on the whole, the proper- ty of any county in the State is as- taken tax sessed as the law requires—at its cash value—what it will bring on the open market, but it will be/| fair if the values are equalized as | nearly as possible.

Chesterfield Qourt House, Va,, Dis- patch, 8th. Twelve Virginia farmers knelt at dusk tonight im the obscurity of the small jury room of Chesterfield Court House, praying fervently that they might pass judgment aright on Henry Olay Beattie, Jr., indicted for the murder of his wife. Grimly determined, they arose a moment later and silently, ome by one, recorded the unanimous ver- dict of ‘‘guilty.”’ ; Pausing in solemn contempla- tion for 58 minutes, weighing care- fully the meaning'of their decision and once more on bended knees be- seeching Divine assistance that they might not err, they filed into the hushed stillness of a crowded court room and with startling sud- denness twelve voices, instead of the usual one of the foreman, spoke the single word, ‘‘Guilty!” It was almost a shout. The spec- ter of death which stalked Mid- lothian turnpike on July 18 last when the life of Mrs. Louise Ow- en Beattie was taken away with the single report of a shot gun, stared hard at the young husband, ready to claim its victim by elec- trocution on Friday, November 24. Rut the . prisoner returned the gaze, unswerving and unafraid. The Court of Appeals, to be sure, will be asked to grant a writ of error and a new trial. tie, cognizant of the legal weap- ons yet at his disposal, did not surrender. Instead, he consoled his broken-down father, white- haired and wrinkled, and comforted him as he whispered: “T Inaven’t lost yet, father.’’ Unusual ag has been the trag- edy and the gruesome stage where it occurred, the 12 jurymen did not hesitate to admit to their friends that they stood in judgment not only over the cold-blooded murder, but upon his marital infidelity as well It perhaps was the dramatic climax of Virginda justice which In the last half-century has swiftly Sent to death such famous murder- ere as Cluverius, Philips and Mc- Cue. Kt was 5.28 o’clock when the fury | began the consideratign of the case For 58 minutes, they were gether in deep consultation, a jury of simple farmers who each morn- ing during the trial sang hymne and strove to forget the story of dissipation with its filthy chapters | as related day after day on the| witness stand. What had been generally predicted was true— their minds were well made up be- fore they left the court room. W. T. Burgess, a square-jawed man with an Garnest face, was elected foreman. . They balloted and it was no sur- prise, they afterwards declared, that all voted alike.

The light of a lamp cast a dreary shadow on his upturned chin as he faced the jury. His eyelids sagged, but he did. not blink. In steady gaze he fastened his eyes on the faces of the twelve men who had pronounced his pun- iehment as if to penetrate their minds and determine the reason why. It was not a resentful expression, however, and when the court ask- ed if the prisoner had anything to say, he answered: “IT have nothing to Bay,” |sat down. The perfunctory motions for a new trial were made by counsel for the defense. Thé usual granting of permission even to argue the point was denied as Judge Watson, in a stern voice, declared that all rulings of the court were on com- paratively unimportant detail and in no way could have influenced the ‘verdict. A stay of execution was granted, however, in order to give counsel an opportunity to apply for writ of error when the court of ap- peals meets in November. Judge Watson delivered an im- pressive speech~ to the prisoner. He told how the young man had stained his» own life and that of the community in which he lived by his sordid acts. When the trial first began, said Judge Watson, he had hoped that Virginia might be cleared of the crime for which not only the State felt shame, but the entire country deprecated. He had hoped that counsel would prove the defendant innocent, but the evi- dence, he regretted to note, was all convincing and overwhelming. “The court in this trial,” said Judge Watson, ‘‘has endeavored in all {ts decisions to lean toward the side of the prisoner, and in its charze to the jury as well attempt- ed to give him the benefit of ev- ery aoubt and every opportunity to establish his innocence. The rul- ings mostly have not been on mat- ters of law but on small questions lof fact | “You have had a fair and impar- ‘| tial tr'al, Mir.

Therefore, you have been convicted of murder in the first ;degree and on November 24, be- |tween the hours of sunrise and sun- |set, you must forfeit your life to jthe community. May God have mercy on your soul.” A moment later, by the side of |his father and his brother, Doug- jlas, their heads bowed in grief, walked young Beattie in the dark- ;ness to his cell, a hundred yards |away. But the drama of the day was jnot over. A Sharp report and a flash rent the thick blackness out- | side. “My God!” and exelaimed Judge Wat- flitted ‘the same though that startled hun- |dreds around him. But it was not |}another tragedy. The prisoner was |seen walking calmly on. The deto- jnation was an unusually heavy |charge of a photographer's flash- light. ' The crowd lingered at the jail and peered into the cell iluminat- ed by a single lamp. On the bed with his head in his hands sat Beat- tie, his father and brother besic« him. Jailer Cogbill sent the cu- rious away. Only a few saw the prisoner break down and weep in the solitude of the cell Gov. Kitchin has appointed How- ard A.

A lively game of hearts followed, in which Miss Corre Copeland, being the highest scorer, was presemed the prize,a pair of black silk hose. After the game the guests repaired to the dining room, which was love- ly In its decorations of pink and white asters and roses. The color scheme, pink and white, was carried out in every detail. Each young lady found her place by the dainty little curds, on which were tiny cu- Pid@ perched on trunks. At a sec- ond glance at the table the whole affair was disclosed, for each one found a tiny pink satin bag of rice, to which were attached various fa- vors of ocupids,orange blossoms and horse shoes, and at the guest of honor’s place a very appropriate one, @ miniature coach in which sat a trideand groom. All were eager to Bee the con ents of the bags, and three were rep: id by finding tiny hearts on which were the names and dates Then Misa Nicholson, the fair br de-to-be, dressed in pink and white, was the recipient of rice and many good wishes After this an elegant three-course luncheon was served.

Sunday morning there were a gionary addresses in a number 9 the churches of the town by visiting laymen and ministers in atten¢ ance on the convention as follows: First Presbyterian. church, Rev. J. F Preston, Korea; First Baptist church, Rev. L. B. Padgett, of North Wilkesboro; Lutheran church, Rev. C. E. Cronk,Columbia; Broad Street Methodist, Dr. J. W. Mar- tin, of Davidson College; Front Street Presbyterian, Mr. John Mc Eachern, Greensboro; Western Av- enue Baptist, Rev. S. M. Sowerell, Argentina; First Associate Reform- ed Presbyterian, Mr. Chas. H Pratt, Richmond The principal addresg of Sunday afternoon’s session was by Mr.Chas. H. Pratt, general secretary of the Interdenominationa]) Laymen’s Mis- sionary Movement, who spoke on “The Unfinished Task in Non-Chris- tian Lands.’’ Mr. Pratt said that in the past our returned missiona- ries, in addressing the people, have told too much of what has been accomplished and not enough stress has been laid upon what is yet to be accomplished. Hereafter the missionaries should tell of what is undone rather than what has been done. With the present force of missionaries in the field only about two hundred millions of the thous- anc millions of heathen can be reach- ed during the life of the missiona- ries and unless greater forces are placed in the fields the work of evangelizing the world will be no nearer completed 100 years hence than nuw. There are whole na- tions without a single missionary; countr’es where there are 7¢,000,- Ove people who have never had the opportunity of accepting Christ Unless we are faithless we can’t lay it on the will of God that these haven’t missionaries. Christ’s con- cern about the ene is greater than our-concern about the ninety and nine. The “Weekly Missionary Offering”’ was discussed by Mr. Cronk, who based his remarks on the verse in Chronicles which says “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by in store as God hath prospered you.’’ Mr. Cronk declar- ed that if the Christians will car- | Ty out this plan of giving the financial problem of the Church will have been solved. Following Mr. Cronk the ‘‘Every Member Canvass'’ was ably disoussed by Dr. | Martin, of Davidson In undertak- ing any great task for Qhrist, Dr Martin said, we must first pray for it, then plan for it and lastly push it The every-member can-| vass is te Scriptural way in which | to enlist all the members of the | Church in the work of missions, | but there should be prayer, prepara tion and push in the campaign. And further, the canvassers should be made to qualify they go out to do their job; should get all information on the subject and then subscribe the amount they are to give before they cal} on When Dr. Martin concluded Mr. Pratt spoke in ad- vooacy of the Missionary Commit- tee’ and showed how this com- mittee divides and locates responsi bility, enlists lay activity, reinforces the pastor’s efforts, study of missions,provides great op- | portunity for service, reaches the membership individually and stimu- lates spiritual life At the close of the session the Ministers and laymen of the town churches were called together and it was decided to adopt the poli- cies set forth in the discussions and make an every-member canvass of the Statesville congregations, be- ginning Sunday,, October Ist, and concluding the following Sunday, the reports of the canvassers to be heard at a big mass meeting to be held in Broad- Street Methodist church on the evening of Sunday, October 8th The climax of the convention was « mass meeting Sunday night of ali the congregations of the up- town churches, which was treated to 4 masterful address by Bishop Atkins, of the Methodist Church “The Relation of the Material Pos- Bessivns to the Spiritual Ends of the Church” was the subject of the before they themselves others challenges | jery-member canvass by jend |the principal street of Augusta, Ark movemen: “to crystalige into talk it will agcomplish nothing.

Jesus did not talk about anything else as much as he did about money and its reletion to His Kingdom. If men would take what He taught as the great financier then they would en- ter upon the fields which will open up the spreading of His gospel, The material view that the money a man has is his own is a false idea which makes a man a lover vy money, and when he gets’ that way he is the 've:nest man at all If you hold that you own what you make the consummation is com- plete and you are a Slave to mon- ey. Christ taught stewardship. God made the man and God made the money both for a good purpose. f a man realizes he is a steward of these things the love of money is impossible On the average a dolJar is a day’s work and the man who wastes a million dollars wastes a million days of man’s work. If he makes the best of the million he bas a relation to his money in heaven.

God wants a Christian civil- ization that will belt the world. It is a big job and the laymen’s move- ments are the greatest indica- tions that we are setting about the tusk. When money-making gets in- to the minds of men they don’t give thought to the Kingdom of God, so we wust train the youmg men be- fore they attain wealth and get it into their hearts that they are Stewards. If you don’t commence before you get the wealth you won't do it then The man governs the Money and the spirit governs the man May God grant you that spir- itual life that is a passport eternal rest and may you consecrate what you have to the spreading of the Kingdom of Christ The convention adjourned after a brief statement about the ev- Rev.

VIRGINIA SENATORIAL PRIMARY Taking note of the overwhelming defeat of Congressmen Jones and Glass, who made the senatorial race against Senators Martin and Swanson in Virginia, the Charlotte Chronicle is moved to observe: Martin and Swanson were 4ar- raigned as the machine’ men, and when a thing like that is made the “paramount issue,” it is pretty {easy to judge how the election will jpan out. |In some cases the peo- ple have a\ habit of believing the machine to ibe a good thing. One wothd judge so by the elec- tion returns, but the result may in- dicate the power of the political machine and its ability to control elections, once it is well entrench- ed, To fllustrate, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, as we read it, cer- tainly did not champion the cause of Jones and Glase, Certainly its sympathies at the outset seemed to be with Martin and Swanson. But before the campaign was over charges 80 serious were made against Martin and Swanson, and admitted or proved, that the Times- Dispatch was compelled to say, with apparent feluctance, . that these men were unfit to represent Virginia in the Senate. Martin's power is shown by the fact that, when he was comparatively un- known to the gemeral pubiic, he was able, through corporate influ- ence it was charged, to defeat 60 popular a Virginian as Fitzhugh Lee. The power of a wéll-manned and well-entrenched political machine can hardly be estimated and some- times such an organization can only be defeated by the defeat of the party it represents. So long as the people, however, are content to accept this sort of thing they deserve nothing better; and if the people of Virginia prefer Martin and Swanson-—and it seems they do — that is their business. We don’t know whetherJones andGlass were the proper men for Senator, but from the information develop- ed as to Martin and Swanson the latter are not the type of men The Landmerk favors for public po- sition. perenne ee eeeepecin FRIDAY, - > September 15, 1911. | | THEY DIDN'T; UNDERSTAND. Henry C. Beattie, who a Virginia jury bas said must die for the murder of his wife, complains that the verdict was “fearfully unfair, which complaint is not unnatural. He is thus quoted: “Beulah Binford figured in the verdict, more largely than the testimony of the killing. These country folks cannot understand how a women of the underworld o be ctazy about you. They don't know when that happens how very hard it is to get rid of her. “J faye drifted along hoping against hope that something would occur to enable me to rid myself of that Binford girl. And once a woman of that kind feels that you no longer take any interest in her @he seeks solace in suicide. So f drifted along with the tide, wait- ing for a chance to break off rela- tions with her without having her hurt herself. I tried hard to per- suade her in the meantime to live , Dre tie aan been tried in any wourt where those things are not ancommon, this morning I would have been a free man.” If this case had ‘been tried in gome States, or in some communi- ties, where jurors could have been found who gaw nothing improper in a married man deserting is wife for assodiatibn with a woman of bad character, it is entirely prob- able that Beattie would have been acquitted. But, praise be, ‘‘these sountry folks’—and others, too —cannot understand why any man Should become the consort of a lewd woman if he hopes to retain athe respect of decent people; and more especially “these country folks’ and others cannot understand or forgive that sort of conduct in a married man,one of education and standing who has married a refined apd cultivated woman. Beattie’s Statement that he tried to rid him- Belf of the Binford woman is false, of course. The evidence of his own witnesses shows that he volun- tarily looked her up after his marriage and was constantly in her company up to the very night his wife was killed. We have no doubt Beattie killed his wife, but it is cheerfully ad- aoitted that his notoriously immora) ebmracter was a prime factor in his conviction. It is natural. Had it been shown that he was a man of good character and clean life it would have been difficult to secure his conviction. But the fact that h was so notoriously immo) and untrue to his wife naturally caused that jury to believe he was capable ef murdering her. Beattie unconsciously paid a fine tribute to the Virginia farmers Who sat in judgment on his case. largely That is an interesting story the Concord Tribune tells of the three cotton mill workers—one of them said he wus g mil] man and it- 1s presumed the otbers are— Who agreed to go Out on an evan- gelistic tour purely for the money they could get out of it.

I have deen in Danville for some time and came from there here on account of work being slack. When I arrived here I got a job at the Locke mill and on the next day the mill closed down I was then, loafing around and went to the cafe at the gepot with the boys here. While at the cafe I told them that I used to predch and that I had made as high as $40 for one sermon.

Some of the boys then spoke up and said that work was dull and | why not go out on the road preach- | ing. They agreed to go with me and said they would sing and pass | around the hat and we could have, a regular Salvation Army. I told} them that I would certainly do the preaching but that I didn’t have | any funds. The boys said they | could fix that all right, so the agreement was made and Hickory | was decided upon as the first stop- ping place on our proposed itinerary “After we had made the agree- ment I told them that I did not) have clothes suitable for a minister and that I couldn’t go unless they | bought me some dark clothes. 1/| was wearing this blue coat and a pair of light trousers and an auto-| mobile cap, and you know, chief, that a preacher wouldn’t look right preaching in a pair of light trous- ers and an automobile cap Then they agreed to buy clothes for me ant we came up town and pur- chesed this derby hat and these| trousers, both of which I am now wearing, and they paid for them I then told the boys that it was neceséary itor me to wear giasses and that the pair I had looked cheap and that I needed a pair of gold-rimmead They hes: spectacles tated on these but finally purchased them ior me and everything was jready for the trip When the time to leave came one of them said ‘Fellows, this ain't right,’ and from ithat they backed out They wal led me to give them the clothés and | spectacles, but I told them I would jnot do so; that I was ready to carry out my end of the azree- lesen We were drinking a little, |too, chief, so we came on back and j unpacked our grips.” *““All I want is my jsaid one of the men “T did en- [tee into the agreement but we did- jn’t go an d he has got no right to my jelothes.’ Chief Boger told the men that \they should settle the affair_among |themselves, but he thought Dun- jcan ought to pay the man for the clothing. clot hes back,” } | | | “That is what I am going to do, chief, but TI don’t intend to give them back to him I will pay him pay day but J am going to keep them now.” The three men then walked out of the office, two of them with mad and sullen expressions on their faces, while Duncan walked up the right angle on his sorrel-top head, wearing his perfectly pressed new blue trousers and gazing ‘at the passing populace over the gold- rimmed spectacles.

Aaheville Citizen, 8th. * Last Tuesday was a memorable day in the history ef the town of Mars Hill when, after a concerted action on the part of the faculty and student body of Mars Hill col- lege. and “the citizens and mer, chants of the village, the entire supply of / cigarettes and smoking tobaceo in that town was convert- ed into a big bonfire, around which circled a large number of people. who offered prayer and song@ of thanksgiving as the aro- matic smoke circled upwards and vanished into the air. Rev. C. W. Reese, who graduated from Mars Hil) college in 1908, now State evangelist of Illinois, with his home-in Marion, [l., while vis- {ting his parents at Mars Hill for a few days, waged an anti-cigar- ette campaign, which resulted in the destruction of all the cigar- ettes and smoking tobacco at that place and the signing of a pledge by all the merchants of Mars Hill that they would no longer handle the article, the sale of which Prof. R. L. Moore, president of Mars Hill college, has continuously fought for a number of years. A petitiun aSking the merchants to discontinue the sale of cigarettes and smoking tobacco was pnesented to the merchants and they agreed to discontinue the sale as soon as they had closed out the stock on hand. Thereupon $40 was raised .o pay for the stock of cigarettes and smoking tobacco on hand and the students of Mars Hill college proceeded to carry the tobacco to and two gallons of kerosene oil Was poured on it. The specta- tors sang ‘Alma Mater,’’Mr. Reese led in prayer and the tobacco went up in flames while ‘Higher sround’’ was sung, this being fol- lowed by the college yell, which closed the ceremonies Nothing {¢ bacco.

The commis- sion flatly holds that the business of making special rates from special producing points, unless at the a1ine time intermediate stations are giv- en like rates, igs absolutely wrong.

While coming down west Broad Street in his automotdie about noon Saturday, Mr. C. B. Webb collided th a bicycle ridden by Mr. Stirl- Barkley, a young. man from the t Spring community. Young Barkley fell from the bicycle just ‘ore the machine struck it and us escaped injury, but the bicycle, fhich belonged to a friend,was bad- y¥y damagéd. Mr. Webb claims that he did all he could to avoid running imto the bicycle, but that the boy Wes riding from one side of the @treet to the other and turned his Wheel directly in ‘front of the ma- thine: when Mr. Webb tried to pass. The boy admitted that he was con- fused and did not know which way te turn, but @river about as much at fault as he aS, although the tracks of the two icles showing their courses were @lightly against the boy. _ In hie at- Kempt to avoid the Webb ran his machine into a ditch @nd came near colliding with a tree Mr. J. W. F. Thompson, of States- Wille, was painfully injured in an gutomodile accident, late Sunday @fternoon, about eight miles west of Salisbury. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Earl Moser accompanied Mr. W. W. Cooper on an auto trip to Cooper's car and the party was returning to States- vitle when the accident occurred. + While running at a fair speed the Party met a buggy occupied by a lady and several children, and when the horse attached to the buggy showed fright Mr. Cooper slowed down and turned hfs ma- chine toward the opposite site of tne road from the buggy, in an at- tempt to pass. in doing this the machine struck a telephone post and the joit threw Mr. Thompson out. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Moser remrined in the machine and suc- ceeded in stopping it wifhout fur- ther trouble Investigation reveal- ed that Thompson had received a ‘@evere bruise on the hip, while a fender of the machine had been torn off and the car otherwise dam- aged to such extent that it could not be run to Statesville. A ‘phone message to ai é Salisbury garage brought to the scene of the accident another machine which wis used in towing the wrecked machine- and ite ocoupants back to Salisbury. ‘The damaged machine was left in Salis- bury for repaira and Messrs.

A groceryman spied him aud remarked: “Look at that hardware man with his head in that wagon. 1 have apples tor sale, but hel) spend 75 cents’ worth of time «= that wagon trying to save a nickel.”’ The ‘groceryman felt that the hardware man should get his ap- pier through him. One farmer met another on @treet and remarked: . “They're only offering four cents @ pound for beans; been getting @ght cents. Of course beang at 4 cents are dear eating, but it isn’t like getting eight cents.” The farmer was candid enough to admit privately that beans at four cents were high enough for the “ultimate consumer,” but he had been getting eight during the drought. The rains had made beans more plentiful, the price had dsrapped one-half and the seller ‘was disappointed. So it. goes. Every fellow usually looks at the matter from the view- point of his own interest. Ohild’s Narrow Escape From Death. The three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. F. @: rton had a very Marrow escape f death from pois- oning early ti y night. The Mttie girl was visiting her relative, Mrs. W. E.

Picking up the tabieta the child in- nocéntly swallowed one of them and then turned to Mrs. Sloan and told her that she was eating tablets, When Mes.

Not Yet Solved—hnportant dénce Expected Yesterday. The mystery of the death of Miss Myrtle Hawkins, whose dead’ body near Hendersonville, Sunday morning a week ago, is yet unsolved. The cor- oner’s investigation was adjourned until yesterday afternoon and dis- patches to yesterday's papers stat- ed that new and important evidence involving persons not heretofore sus pected, would be presented. yester- day. However, important evidence has been promised every day that has not been forthcoming. That Miss Hawkins was dead and had been dead for some time when her body was put in the lake, ap- pears to be settled beyond doubt. But the cause of her death, wheth- er from chloroform, a criminal op- tration or from some other cause, is not settled. That a criminal op- eration was attempted is general- ly believed. A note which the young woman left for her mother disclosed her unhappy condition but did not give the name of the man. In the note the girl said she was going away to stay. Evidence before the coroner's jury tended to show that the young woman was at the house of Ab. Mc- Cali, near the lake, but all the Evi- members of the McCall family de- | nied she was there. Geo. Bradley, who has been married but a short jtime and who was a friend of Miss Hawkins, lives at the McCall home with his wife. He was asked—on the witness stand if he was not the author of the girl's ruin. He de- nied that he was.and said he knew) her nothing as to the cause of death. The police are searching was in Hendersonville but has dis- appeared. She, it is said, is un- der charges of having on a former occasion attempted a criminal oper- ation and is suspected of being im- plicated in the Hawkins case. FOOD RIOTS IN VIENNA. Clashes Between Mobs and Soldiers —A Serious Situation. Vienna Dispatch, 17th. A critical. situation has arisen in } Vienna owing primarily to the high | |price of the necessities of life. Riots! broke out today and many persons were killed or wounded. fired on the mobs, which had erected barricades im the streets. There was a fierce exchange of bullets and the soldiers were pelt- 6d with all sorts of missiles. Following a huge Socialist dem- | t i ‘ ; | Onstration this afternoon outside ary sition to ehter school. Rathhaus, held to protest again the high prices of food, it became Lecessary to call out troops to dis- perse the rioters. In the early clashes fifty of the rioters were wounded and one hundred arrested. Fifty thousand persons were present at the demonstration and fiery speeches were made demand- ing that the government permit the importation of foreign meat and take other measures to remedy thé conditions which have resulted from the prohibitory increase in the price of food products. After the meeting a large procession marched to the Parliament’s buildings cheer- ing for revolution and Portugal. Revolvers were fired in the air and then the mob began sione throwing. The windows of many public and private buildings, res- taurants and tram cars and street lamps were smashed. Finally a squadron of dragoons and a detach- ment of infantry appeared on the scene. They charged the rioters an: dispersed them. The mobs reassem- bled, however, in the suburbs, which are occupied by the work- ing class, where they wrecked more property. The troops were retained throughout the gay guarding the Imperial palace and government buildings, and halting all ap- proaches to the city. Towards evening the rioting in the Ottakring quarter became more farious. The mob demolished all the street lamps in the main thor- oughfare, plunging the streets into darkness. They erected barricades and hurled missiles of various kinds on the soldiers from the up- per windows of houses. The or- der was at length given to the troops to fire. At the first volley many rioters fell, either killed or wounded. Several of the soldiers and policemen were injured and one hundred more of those engaged in the conflict were placed under ar- reat, . The agitation is the culmination of months of bitter discontent over the steady increase in the cost not only of food but of lodging, cloth- ing and all the necessaries of life, and unless Parliament takes action it is feared that the development of the disturbance will be very serious.

Major London, of the Chatham Record, an experienced lawyer 45 well as an editor who knows men, hes the following to say of Gov. Kitchin’s latest appointment: Gov. Kitchin has reflected cred- 4t on himself and honor on the State by appointing Mr. Howard A. Foushee, of Durham, as the Buc cessor of Judge Biggs. While all the aspirants to the appointment Were most worthy gentlemen, yet mo one of them would make a bet- ter judge than Mr. Foushee and no ene more deserved the appointment. Not only is he a learned lawyer, but he has the judicial temperament, «which is so sadly lacking in some ef our judges. We predict that he wil! be one of the best judges with bom our State hes been blessed im recent years. . eee If memory serves us it was the e@ature-fakir of the Charlotte Chronicle who asserted recently that snakes would not bite cows but on the contrary would flee from the bovine in terror. Over against this theory the following from the Wilkesboro Chronicle is submitted for consideration: One of Mr. Ed. Allen’s large work oxen, near Elkville, was bit- ten by e spake last week and died. The ox was in the pasture, when he was bitten. He was found some time later and drivem to the yard, where he died. The ox was one of a yoke worth $150. The theory that snakes won't bite cattle is again exploded. But what could you expect from one who didn’t know that foxes can climb trees and that they eat blackberries and persimmons—not only didn’t know this but has the nerve to dispute it? The Chronicle editor is a mighty smart man and mows much about many things ut his knowledge of the ways of the. “wild creeturs” > s * Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, has sent his red@ignation to the Gov- ernor, to take effect January 9, 1912. The Chief Justice will re tire from the bench to enter thé race for Governor against Cole L. Blease, the present Governor. Judged by his public utterances and ais conduct since he has been Gov- ernor, Blease is notoriously unfit fer any public position of tmpor- tance; and the fact that he was el- very limited. se. evated to the governorship is by no means creditable to the people of are the judges of the situation and the court of last resort in selecting their own officials, amd they pre- South Carolina. But they ferred Blease over two or other candidtes. Maybe they kmow the man and are now Sut we doubt it. Fact is, we're wishing Chief Justice mighty well, we expect the Carolinians to take Blease The Palmetto folks seem to this kind for public place. three Some of the papers have stated that Code Lane had some money in a North Wilkesboro bank and that it-had been attached by Mr. Hall , the liveryman, horses were killed on the Brushies. This is a mistake. Lane has had BO mouey in the bank. There is something over $400 in one of the Banks in Welborn Nance’s name, but it is claimed by all parties con- «erned that this money belongs to old ma: Ben Nance, Welborn’s fa- ther.

In this era of progress and enlighten- ment, in the advanced civilization of the twentieth century, these so-called seats of culture and refine- ment, supposed to develop all that is best in man and make him a fin- ished product, are reluctantly, un- willingly, abandoning mob law and mob violence—and a mob law and mob violence beside which the acts o’ the ordinary mob shine. The or- dinary mob commits acts of vio- lence for cause, or because. it thinks it hes cause. The college mob commits acts of violence sim- ply to be cruel; purely to hurt and humiliate; and its cowardice is ex- emplified in the fact that the vic- tims usually selected are the weak an@ nervous, those least likely to resist and those who would suffer most from the treatment. Isn't it a spectacle for gods and men that thig barbarity has been fostered and has continued to this good day; and it is passing now not so much by will of the colleges—students or faculty—but because the public will no longer stand for it. The public was long defied, but by and by. when endowment funds were bazing .the greatest obstacle in their path.. Then they did ‘what they could have done before if they had wanted to—abolished it; and once the elimination was be- gun—the real elimination—it is unecessary for all to take the step.

VOTE. Insurgent Republicans That the Democrats W Win If Taft is Washington Dispatch. Statisticg intended to show the danger of renominating President Taft are to be circulated widely throughout the country by the {hsurgent Republicans. These new f.gures were obtained at the new headquarters of the progressive Re- publicans here. The electoral vote under the reapportionment act re- cently passed is analyzed giving the Democrats a big majority in the electoral college if Taft is the can- didate they have to béat. First, the States which went Democratic in 1908 are listed as surely Democratic under any cir- cumstances, and those which were won away from the Repubicang in 191@ are listed as very probably Democratic if Taft runs again. This would give a total ag sure Democratic and probable Democrat- ic, 318. Following are the States figured surely Democratic and the elector- al vote; Arizona 3, Alabama 12, Arkansas 9, Florida 6, Georgia 14, Kentucky 18, Maryland 8, Mississippi 10, Ne- vada 3, North Carolina 12, Oklaho- Ma 10, South Carolina 9, Tennes- see 12, Texas 20, Virginia 12.

The electoral vote of the remaining States totals only 203 votes. But even these are not now conceded by the insurgents as safely Republican if Taft is the nominee. , In the States which went Demo- cratic in 1910 and in the States considered ‘‘doubtful,”’ such as Cal- ifornie, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and North Dakota, the progressives Say, the sentiment of voters is 80 Surely STATE NEWS.

Corm Crop Will Be Large After All. Saturday Evening Post. Heat and drought this summer caused the greatest damage to growing grain that has occurred in many years. The heaviest loss was in corn. The condition of that crop at the beginning of July promised the nearly normal yield of 25% bushels to the acre. A month la- ter this promise had been cut down by three bushels, indicating the lowest yield to the acre in ten years. In 1901, however, the yield was only 16 3-4 bushels to the acre and te corn-bearing area was only $1 million acres, against 115 million ucres this year. After the great loss in July, in short, we May expect a corn crop above two and a half billion bushele—bigger by 70 per cent. than the crop of ten years ago and up to the aver- age of the five years preceding 1909. The loss of this year looks calamitous only when compared with the tremendous crop of last year. But that crop brought the farm compared with 1909. Roughly, nine cents a bushel added to last year’s price would make the money value of this crop equal to that of 1909, and at this writing corn for theDe- cember delivery is selling in Chi- cago above 60 cents a bushel, while last December it sold around 47 cents a bushel. Taking those two prices, this year’s corn crop would bring. growers more money than last year’s. And the wheat crop, notwithstanding July’s losses, will probably be below that of last year by less than five per cent. The crop damage is big and positive, but it spells ruin only for those who were short of the grain market. : MATTERS OF NEWS.

Charlotte Chronicle. | “Why not give us a few moving +pictures of the girl who helpe moth- jer?” exclaims the Wilmington Star. | They are worth more than the |Nan Pattersons, Evelyn Thaws and \the Beulah Binfords, who appeal {to nothing but morbid curiosity and ‘a taete for tragedy or depravity. Why don'ttbe film-makers pay big prices to the real heroines to pose for human fnterest pictures?” The Star's remark calis atten- tion to the trait in human nature which is directly responsible for the enormous success of the so-called ‘yellow” press. Our contemporary’e question is no question at all ex- cept in a rhetorical or possibly sar- castic sense. In every community which is governed by a decemt pub- lic opinion, any attempt to exhibit the pictures of the woman partially responsible for the pitiful Rich- mond tragedy, will be met with a storm of opposition voicing the opin fon of the New York city official that such subjects are entirely unfit for public representation. Nevertheless, in any community in which the exhibition actually braves this adverse public sen- timent the box-office receipts will be fat well-nigh beyondthe dreams of avarice Folks will declare roundly that such exhibitions are outrageous but plenty wil be found to atttend. Take on the other hand “the girl who helps mother.”’ She rep- resents the inspiration which has always been most effective with men ~——at least those of Teutonic blood. But her deeds are humdrum and ev- eryday They do not readily lend themselves to the. dramatic and sengational—the two qualities which are necessary -for moving picture films and for the stories in the “‘yellow”’ press “The girl who however, is not by reason of this, entirely deprived of biographers. She lends herself exquisitely to description but the pen must be of a keener point than is ordina- rily to be found upon newspaper ta- bles Some of the most splendid productions in the world’s fiction are concerned with just such girls.

New York city always gets the best of j|everything, and is willing to pay for it, and, therefore, most of the can- vas backs killed in Ourrituck have gone to New York and have commanded good prices. News fow comes that the recent session of the Legtslature has passed an act prohibiting the sale of wild fow! there. Naturally this has greatly depressed the duck hunters in Cur- rituck, who believe that it will work serious injury to their busi- ness. The correspondent says ‘‘to give an idea of the outlook, instead of ordering the usual number of cartridges, which is between 15,- 000 and 25,000, the gunners in that county are placing an order {for not more than 5,000 or 10,000.” Governors to Protest to Supreme Court. Lake, N. J., Dispatch, 14th Governors of 24 States of the Union voted this afternoon to unite in protest to the United States Su- preme Court against what they con- sider an invasion of the States’ rights by Federal courts. The decision of Judge Sanborn in; the Minnesota rate case is the par- ticular ‘invasion’ to which the Governors object. By their action they establish a precedent in Amer- ican history. Judson Harmon, Governor of Ohio and former Attorney General of the United States, will head a committee of protest. His colleag- ues will be Herbert S. Hadley, Gov- ernor of Missouri, and Chester Aldrich, Governor of Nebraska. The motion to appoint such a committee to voice the views of the conference was made by Governor Emmett O'Neal of Alabétha, which placed the membérship at five. Action was declaréd unanimous, although Governor W. W. Kitchin, of North Carolina, the 24th delegate, who alone opposed it, did so, he said, solely because it would be a de- Parture from precedent.

This is the situation as summed up by the sugar experts in the Department of Agriculture, after field reports from all sugar-grow- ing sections of this country, reports on the condition ef the sugar mar- ket 1d estimates on the amount of sugar held in stock by refineries. It is estimated that the total in refineries and warehouses ig less than 175.000 tons.

Fo the present scarcity of re fined sugar the Payne-Aldrich tariff, with its prohibitive tax on refi).* sugar} is held to be indi- *ectly responsible. The principal reason for the stringency acconding to the sugar experts, lies in the action of European countries, in taking care of an immense surplus production, much of which American Tefiners had expected would be ship- Ped to this country In 1910, it was estimated, Eu- rope faced a surplus production of about !1,000,000 tons of sugar, re- fined This surplus, it was expéct- ed, would be cared for largely by the United States. Only about 26 Per cent. of the total amount of su- @ar consumed in this country in Previous years has been raised here. Much has been brought in from Cuba, Hawaii and Porto Rico and Europe has untoaded a large Part of her annual surplus at our doors Therefore the action of Europe in withholding a large part of the @mount usually shipped to this country, unnoticed until the refin- ers had practically exhausted their stock on hand, left the American merchant princes in bad shape Baltmiore Sun. A few months ago sugar was Selling at 4.60 cents; now it is worth 7 cents, the highest mark it has reached in 22 years. A severe drought has prevailed in the sugar beet districts of Europe, a fact that is urged as the reason for the remarkable iucrease in its price, but it is probable that spec- ulation on the effect of the drought had more to do with the increase than the drought itself Three coneerng practically\ control the su- gar supply of the country—aAr- buckle Bros., the Federal Company and the American Company—and while it has not been established that they are in a combination with respect to price, yet the fact is they hold their product at so nearly the same figure that it seems prob- able they have at least a ‘‘gentle- men’s agreement,’ which amounts lo the same thing so far as the pubHe is concerned The great advanee in this commodity at this particular season of the year, when the canneries and preserving facto~ ries are running at top speed, and when the manufacturers of candies for the holiday trade are at their busiest time, is a matter of great hardship, and, if there is any oth- -r reason for it than an actual crop shortage, something ought to be done to. pnevent:a recurrence.

The, State tax commission® or board of equalization today overru)- ed the exceptions and dismissed the petitions of the Seaboard Air ne Railway, Southern Rallway and Atlantic Coast Line Railway in the matter of lower assessment of their property for taxation, the commission holding that the as- sessmemts are fair and uniform. The opinion and order, which were written by Commissioner Travis, is a thorough answer to the petition of the Seaboard in particular but as the other two roads took practi- cally the same position as the Seaboard, the opinion and order wus made to include them. The opinion is the result of peti- tions and affidavits on the part of the railroad companies that their property was assessed at its par value—in some cases more—while other property, especially real, was agseseed at much below its true value in money. In the case of the railroads the commission was able to get at their exact value, because the reports of the roads were available, and it was not spéc- ulation on the part of the commis- sion Stand.

EVENTS PRECEDING CIVIL, WAR. Monument Erected in Pennsylvania Revives Memory of Fugitive Slave! Thnes. Baltimore Sun. The erection of a ahaft at Ohris- tiana, Pa., in. memory of Bdward Gorsuch is a remarkable thing and recalls a series of border events which preceded the civil war and did much to bring it about. At the time of the murder of Gor- Sug¢h by a Pennsylvania mob, the feeling of hostility along the Ma- son and Dixon's line was as bitter as that which existed between the English “and Scotch inthe border warfare of ancient times, Pennsylvania had nullified the fu- witive slave laws. and there was great activity in the State in en- Couraging Maryland slaves to es- Gape and in affording them protec- tion. Gome of Gorsuch’s slaves had fled to Pennsylvania, and when he went to reclaim them, September 11, 1851, just sixty years ago yes- terday, he was Killed by a mob at Christiana, upon the spot where the monument now stands. Four years prior to the Gorsuch tragedy a similar affair took place in Carlisle, Pa. In June, 1847, James Kennedy, of, Hagerstown, went to Carlisle to recover runaway Slaves. They were arrested and the court remanded the fugitives to Mr. Kennedy. Immediately upon the decision of the vourt a riot be- an in the court room for the res- cue of the prisoners. The judge seized a club and attempted to de- fend Mr. Kennedy, but he was mor- tally wounded. This riot was al- most exclusively among the ne- groes. Of the white people who gathered few took any part. After Kennedy's death there was a pub- lic meeting in Carlisle in which the action of the mob was denounced as a disgrace and Mr. Kennedy was extolled as a citizen “whose whole life was an ornament and whose character was a valuable example of a@ good man.”’ Thirteen negroes were convicgfed of taking part in the Another incident in these times was a suit against the Northern(Cen- tral Railway for aiding in the es cape of two fugitive slaves. One of them belonged to Abraham Getzen- their way to York, Pa., boarded a train on the Northern Central road.

Thirty-two persons were killed and 4@ still larger*number wounded, in- cluding the daughter and his 3-year-old son.

Slow Progress Cam Be Avoided By More Firm- mess in J . Danville, Va., Register, Now that it has been shown that \the authorities can require a per- son accused of crime to be promptly arraigned and tried,we can conceive of no valid reason why this should not be done. Henry Beattie killed his wife on July 18th; he wae in- dicted® early in August and con- victed on Friday, September 8th, Yet how few criminal cases of any fraportance can we recall which were so expeditiousiy and satisfac- torily disposed of. Of course, {t is to ~he interest of a guilty criminal to have his trial deferred as long as possible tn order that the crime itself may be forgotten in the whirl of passing events and that any proper feeling of resent- ment may subside. An innocent Man desires the promptest possible trial in order that he may be the sooner vindicated, even from suspi- cion. Not so with the guflty. Ey- ery criminal lawyer realizes that it is wise for his client to languish in jail awhile/become a bit pale and bleached and thereby more effec- tually appeal to the pity of the ju- rors. In this way, through the in- dulgence of attorneys for the de- fense by an over-indulgent and accommodating court, the laws de- lays arise. In the case of a homi- cide the victim is soon forgotten and when months have elapsed, the sympathy of jurors is often improp- erly, though unconsciously, bestow- ed upon the prisoner. The living is remembered; the dead forgotten, aud the crime too often condoned in this way. We submit this is not justice however. The bill of rights accords to an accused person a Drompt and impartial trial: it does not guarantee him inordinate de- lay; the theory of the administra- tio of justice is that a guilty man is ia to a prompt and a fair trial. co The Beattie case will have been of great and lasting value to Vir- sinia if the praise bestowed on at- [ormeye, Judge and jury shall gtim- Qlate us to demand and to insist upon prompt trial of persons ac- - We can and we should arraign and try every. per- Son accused of homicidal crime or of felony Seuerally with the least practicable delay compatible with the constitutiona! rights of the de- Hes with our with the peo- They must show greater firm- }Ness in overruling motions for de- jlay and defeating and discounten- }ancing dilatory tactics on the Part of attorneys. Nobody ques- tions the fairness of Beattie’s trial, }nor is it even alleged that any wrong has been done him by reason of the promptness of the trial. Why should others receive any more con- sideration or indulgence than has Beattie? The court is not concern- 6d with the wishes of the prison- er, provided only he is deprived of no lawful right by being required to face an expeditious trial. Conviction of Members firmed.

President Taft Rather Praises Him and Will Not Ask For His Resig- nation. Beverly, Mass., Dispatch, 15th. The resignation of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chemistry bureau chief and the government’s best known pure food expert, will not be ask- ed by President Taft, despite the recommendations of the agricultu- ral department personnel board and endorsed by Attorney General Wick- ersham. The President’s. opinion, in a letter to Secretary Wilson, made public today, sets aside the rec- ommendation of the board and gives praise instead of criticism to Dr. Wiley. He “squares” the Attor- ney General and board, however, by pressing the belief that the report would have been different if all the facts had been known. Wiley was charged with conspir- ing with Dr. Kebler, drug laborato-|ing from this section alone, ry chief, and Dr. Bigelow, chemisfry bureau chief, to employ Dr. H York pharmacognosist, at $16 yearly salary, with the distinct un- | derstanding that Rusby should give the bureau only service that would be compensated for at the rate of $20 a day for laboratory work and $50 for court attendance. The law limits the pay of scientiffe investi- TS, 10 $90 & Gaxn ddr... Wiley no opportunity to answer the eharges until the case went to the President. Then he specifically denied knowledge of the Rusby se- oret. understanding. The President finds that this is a fact and that Rusby was ignorant of the legal re- striction. He finds Kebler guilty of ‘‘disin- ge@nuocus conduct” on account of let- ters to Rusby suggesting willing- ness to “resort to evasion” and di- rects a reprimand for him. Secretary Wilson is directed to reprimand Bigelow, too, for ‘‘over- gealousness.” and the Attorney General recom- mended the dismissal of Rusby and Bigelow and the reduction of Keb- ler, but the President declares a Precedent for the employ of ex- perts not giving their whole time to the government at annua! sala- vies was set-in the creation of the Remsen board of pure food ex- perts. The President. says specifically that this decision does not dispose of the broad question “developed in the congressional inveStigatioa and hints at a general shake-up ia the agricultural department next winter.” The “broad questions” involve the bitter feud between Dr Wiley and Solicitor McCabe, about which the internal strife in the department centers. McCabe is head of the persorne] committee aod as shown before the congres- Sional committee has acquired great power in the department. In dismissing the case as to Rus- by, President Taft remarks that Rusby’s employing a physician on the “laborer roll” to work in his absence was not “creditable.” The President thinks limiting ex- pert compensation unwise. Olever Trick of Lee County Moon- shiner. Sanford, Exprese A Lee county moonshiner who had been up to Siler City (Ike Lon- don’s town) to dispose of his sow- paw to thirsty Chathamites and who was leisurely returning home, found himself pursued by a band of revenue officers. In his flight for safety he soon stumbled upon the north- ern bank of Deep River. There was no bridge or boat in sight; he could not swim, Uncle Sam’s men were close behind him, and he knew that if he let the officers catch him Jwige Connor's court was ahead of him and he would probably have to wear stripes the balance of his days Ben Hur in the heat of the chari >t race with the Roman never made his plans more quickly or executed them more effectively than did this dispenser. of Lee county corn juice. Somebody who had smacked his lips over his moonshine betrayed him but he would outwit the whole layout. With his knife the hastily cut one of the reeds that grew on the bank of the river. Then he stopped up his ears and nostrils with wet clay from the margin of the stream,’ took the reed in his mouth and waded out into deep water, where he remained submerged with upturned face, but allowing the upper end of the reed to project above the surface. On came the revenue officers,following the moon- @hiner’s track to the brink of the river. The officers remained wait- ing on the river bank for half an hour, but no sign of the moonshiner appeared. They concluded at last that he was a sorcerer who had vanished into thin air. Then they disappeared, and the moonshiner, who had been under water all this time breathing through his reed, came out. He managed to keep under cover and make his way back to a more comfortable place of safe- ty in Lee. Funeral Procession of Dogs. San Francsaco Dispatch, 14th.

Partial list of bargains we sell at 8 cents: Wood's Crop Special. “WOOD'S CROP SPECIAL” for September, says—‘‘It is always ad- visable, in our opinion, for farm- eres to put in as much of their land as they can in the fall. We nearly always get seasonable growing weather during the fall and the @arly spring, and crops sown in the fall not only furnish a cover crop for the soil, but are growing and thriving at seasons which in recent years have proved most ad- vantageous in our Southern soils and climate. We would therefore urge our farmers ‘to sow all the land possible in suitable crops this fall, so as to provide against the repetition of short feed crops an- other year.” “Wood's Crop Special” is issued monthly and gives timely and sea- sonable information about seeds that can be planted to advantage and profit each month throughout the year.

The other day a citizen who had Secured some disinfecting fluid, intended to kill bed bugs and the like, had the stuff in a bottle which bad formerly contained corn whis- key and bore a label to that ef- fect. Passing a couple of acquaint- apoes he held up the bottle and remarked that the corn was old and yellow. One of the gentlemen took the bottle, touched the fluid to his tongue and handed it back, remarking that it tasted of tur- pentine. The other took a small ewig All that time the owner of the disinfectant seemed to look upon the matter as a joke, but just then it came out that the bottle con- tained a disinfectant and that it was poisonows. Then the pair who had tasted to see if it was the gen- uine stuff made tracks for the nearest drug store, and it was mot until they had dosed themselves with ipecac and throwed up about everything but the soles of their whoes, that they felt safe. A bottle of 10-year-old corn might be offered to the same two now and they would turn away. Reception at Billingsley Hospital and Its Purpose. The ladies of the Hospital Asso- Clation will give a reception at Billingsley hospital next Wednes- day afternoon from 4 to 7 o'clock. The reception will be a purely 80- eial affair and is for the purpose of showing the public what has been done for the hospital by the people of the town and county and the friends of the institution. In other words, it is not the needs of the hospital the ladies want to show, but what it has and what it offers to those who need it. To this reception the public is in- vited —the people of the town and county—and they are urged to at- tend. Billingsley is a public hos- pital, belongs to the public, and the ladies of the association, who have unselfishly worked for its betterment, want the péople to see the hospital as it now is. Light refreshments will be served and no donations will be solicited or expected. Coutts Notes.

Wak COTTON OROP ESTIMATE. hls from the Charlotte Observ- ow: ‘ gz with a great dea) ef sound helpful consultation at the ery cotton conference there was bound to be some wild talk. Such talk has been particularly wide of the mark in nection with mrictures upon th overnment’s erop reports. One w infer that te government systematically, if mot deliberately and purposely, evepestimates the crop. But almost everybody knows that just the con- trary is true. The New York Merizng Post shows this atatisti- ally for the past aix years: Decem ber Mere estimate. 19re-11.... 11,426,000 1909-10... . 10,088,000 19039 .. . 12,920,000 1907-3 _.11,628,000 190¢-7 ....12,546,000 13,620,000 1908-6 .10,167,000 11,345,000 The Landmark has never sympe- thiaed with the denunciation of @he government crop reporta. They aye erroneous at times, of course, wut es the whole it is much bet- @@r to have the reports made by the government than by the epecu- dators. If the government abandons the erop reports the estimates will Be made by the speculators, as was Sorpmeriy the case, and in the in- terest of the speculators, of course. No matter what the cotton grower may may, the speculator will, in the absence of & government § re port, make his own estimate and fix @he price accordingly, and the estimate will be high and the Brice low. At times the government wepomt has apparentiy been in the interéat of the speculator; but this ‘wes probably more apparent than weal. With government supervis- fom aad the elimination of untrust- worthy agents, the government re porte may be Made as accurate and reliable as it is possible to make them. Instead of denouncing Mhese reports, the cotten growers @hould exert themselves to see that they are made as accurate as pos- wible. They have much to lose and sothing to gain, as The Land- mark sees it, by tpe abolition of ‘thene reports. The truth is, it ia the age old @tory, that whichever side thinks it ip hurt by the report sets up a mew! When a bumper crop is e- timated and the price drops, the @rower denounces the report as falee and as made in the interest of whe epeculator. It the report Whows a short crop and prices are @oasted, the buyers and the apecu- latore dewounce the report as inac- urate. A few years ago, we re all, a report was made showing a @bort crop and this report was fiercely denounced by the duyers, @ome of whom demanded the aboli- tion of the government report. The Observer at that time distrusted the report and asked why the gov- ernment should make a report, any- how? This is not mentioned as a eriticiam of the Observer, but te show how the thing goes at differ- wat periods. Toe quoting of the December Feporta to show how nearly accur- ate the government crop régort is, wed the fact that it is usually an under-estimate, ia important but does not eliminate the whole ‘rouble. Of course it i@ easier to make accurate reports in December than in June or July, and yet it is the midsummer report that usu- ally fixes the Price of the crop.

KITOHIN’S LONE STAND. That was a rather unu@ual course adopted at the conferengs of Gey- ernors of States, at Spring Lake, N. J., last week, when a committee was appointed to protest te the UnitedStatesBupreme Court againet the dedisions of the Federal ceurts which encroach upon the rights Of the States. It may be all right, but it strikes "The Landmark as odd. It is not customary in this country for delegations of officials or citizens to wait on judges and advise them how they should dectde cases. In fact that sort of ting would, under ordinary circumetan- ces, be contempt. It is the buai- nese of lawyers to appear in courts and argue the law and the facts before judges, which is the recog- nized, legitimate and proper way to advise judges as to their decisions; but it would seem that if officials or cllizens may appear before the courts and protest to the judges, or advise them or demand that they decife certain cages in a certain way, why then we'd bett@r have the “recail” of judges and have done witno it. The actéon of the Governore may be all right, but these things suggest themselves to [aus Landn:ark in this connection. vegulay law officers of the several States, if done at all, in the light of reason. —_—___ The Statesville Landma Hickory (Democrat judge elected for eight years should not resign, but fill oat the term. That ia untenable, for if there are other good men to take their places the public ‘serpice doce not euffer loss.—-Raleigh Newe and Observer. The Landmark has never taken that position. Commenting on the resignation of Judge Biggs, who said his chief reason for resigning was that the work took him away and sald it was strange that so many lawyers would “split their shirts” tc get on the Superior Court bench and no sooner are they on the bench than they begin to complain that the pay is too small, the work too hard and that it keeps them away from their families, al) of which tends tq give one a feeling of weariness when he remembers how anxious these same lawyers were to get the job. Then referring to the case of Biggs, this paper said that he allowed himself to be used by the lawyers and the politicians to defeat one of the best Superior Court judges the State ever had and that under these circumstances, if it would be any punishment to Biggs to make him serve out his term, he should be made to hold on. That is all The Landmark eaid It had no idea of taking the posi- Uon that a judge or other officehold- er should not resign under any oir- cumstances. Sometimes it’s a good thing for the publc service and the puble interests when same of them do resign. ——XXX—X—XXXs_ar_ Persons who may be interested {n the work of the Association for Inter- national Oonciliation—which ie, in | When a vote was taken on this proposition at the Governors’ con- | | ference 24 of the 25 Governors | | present voted for it.

Cost of Living Going Up. Richmond Times-Dispatch. According to Bradstreet's, the pri- ces of commodities were sent up- ward in August, and the opinion is that the advent of cold weather will carry the necessaries of lifs to still higher figures. Despite the drop in the price of flour, the in- dex number is becoming greater. The prices of all necessaries are high. The price of bread is Just: what it was a year ago, although flour is cheaper. Sugar, coffee and white potatoes are leading all the articles in the race toward high prices. Hot, dry weather throughout the Northern States has lifted the price of white potatoes to $1.16 a bushel in the field. This means at least $2 for the consumer. In the South, where Sweet potatoes are plentiful and good, the consumption of white po- tatoes should be small. The coffee crop in Brazil] is be- low normal, and Brazil leads the world in coffee productoin. Her cot- fee has af] sorts of brands, and when her crop is short all brands are marked up. Granulated sugar now commands 7 cents the pound at retail. The advance in sugar is due, it is as- serted, to short crops of sugar beets in Europe, especially in Germany, and to rather poor crop prospects in Cuba. The shortage in Germa- ny and Austria is estimated at 1,- 450,000 tons. The cane producing countries will be unable to furnish more than 700,000 in excess of last year’s totals. This leaves the world’s shortage at 750,000 tons Louisiana will produce this year 350,006 tons of cane sugar, and she is rejoicing over the late ad- vance in sugar prices, for already $15,750,000 has been added to the value of her crap. Assisted Suicide Merciful Murder. Charlotte Chronicle. Euthanasia is ai practice which has never been legalized in this country and a recent incident in Florida will be calculated to re- new the discussion.

To put an. end to her tor- ture, Sister Sears and Brother Gil- lette, hastened death by administer- ing chloroform to her. It is said in defense of the act, that Sister Sudie had hegged to be allowed to “get out of the body” in this way. The eister and brother who administered the chloroform weré¢ arrested on the charge of murder.

The Mutual Building & Loan Association ———sHE SAW THE WA A young couple in a small village got married. The husband, a grocery clerk, earned fifteen dollars a week, and had saved cg apart from a a ci moderate life-insurance policy. e Saw no way get anything aside. After i ten dollars monthly rent for a year, however, the wife pice figure on owning their own home. A local building an association had just started in the village and she determined to save two dollars every week.. When she had nearly seven hun- dred dollars to her credit there came an opportunity to buy a patie of land for two hundred dollars. She secured it, and a ouse Costing two thousand dollars was built, being paid for with the remaining five hundred dollars and a mortgage for fifteen hundred dollars at six per cent. As they now had no rent to pay the monthly installments of fifteen dollars was easil raised. In a few years the debt was cleared off, and when the husband died his widow was left with a home worth twenty-five hundred dol- lars and a two-thousand-dollar life insurance.

President Denies Using Patronage For Political Purposes. Extract From President Taft's Speech | at Detrait. “They have charged me with us ing Patronage to accomplish some- thing. If I have, I am not con- scious of it. But I challenge the men who make the charge to come forward and join with me in legis- lation, which will enable me to put every loca] officer,be he postmaster, internal revenue collector, custome collector or anybody else filling an office of the United States in any of the States of the Union, under classified civil service. But they won't do it—at least they won't do it now. “If I had the making of the laws of this country, the first thing I would do would be to include in the civil service every collector, deputy collector and everybody connected with the internal revenue system in local collections and put the whole service on an effective, non-partisan basis. I know that it would bea source of economy. I know that it would give the President a great deal more time to devote to other du- ties; I know that it would save a good many Congressmen their seats and I know that it would tend to the elevation of the public service.’ Farmers’ U nion Muoting’ at Moores- ville October 7th.

Spring Lake Correspondence Phila- delphia Reoord. ~ Tener, of Pennsylvaaia, is the biggest of the Governors, physical- ly. He was formerly a pitcher t= the National League, and he looks to be fully capable of handling a recalcitrant Legislature with a baseball bat. He did not say much at the conferences. Hoke , Smith, o* Georgia, is almost as Dig as Tener. Any number of people have been quizzing Smith as to how it feela to be holding two offieea at the same time. Smith, besides be- ing Governor of Georgia, has been Mann, of Virginia, was one of the moat_typical of the conferees. His waite hair, mustache and imperial, combined with a ruddy face. and courteous manner, are exactly what ove would expect from the elder generation in the Old Dominion, He served in the civil war,later studied law and became known as one of the best campaign speakers in the State. Kitchin, of North Carolina, will long be remembered by all who at- tended the conference for his pa- tnetic acknowledgment of the emp liness of his office. His duties con- sist of drawing his ealary and granting pardons, he said. He is the only Governor in the nation who lacks the power of vetoing bills. Like Mann, he is the physical embodiment ofa certain type of Southern statesman frequently seen tn the stage—lank, tall and slow in his speech and manner, but with a clean-cut face that has given him the reputation of being the “hand- somest Governor.” The Governor of Rhode Island, Aram J. Pcihier, has bad a career soniewhat like those of the preco cigus youths invented by Horatio Alger A French-Canadian, borv in the Province of Quebec, h€ came to this country at the age of 18 years, and, without family assis:- ance or any resources except his own, werked his way to wealth and political position. Gilchrist, of Flolida, is another man whose life might appeal to the schoolboy reader. He was brigadier general commanding the Florida national j}guard when the Spanish war broke out, and he resigned his com mis- sion and enlisted as a private in a voluateer regiment in the hope of seeing something of the fighting. Pursues Perpetual Motion Persist- ently. Mt. Airy News. Who knows but what Mt. Airy will yet become famous as the home of a world renowned inventor It was Ben. Franklin who, after working on perpetual motion for two years, said that if ever it iuvented by a wise man rather than by a fool. This town is the home of an humble blacksmitg, who works at the forge in shall’s wagon shops and earns hia living by his daily efforts. ° His name is Alexander Fulk and he is 54 years of age. All his life he has had a hobby, or ambition, if you rather call it that, to invent per- |petual motion, Inthe past years he has devised and made 57 models in all, and this week he is putting together the 58th model and he confidently expects to see it work aud give to the world the secret that so many have failed to discov- er. All we know of the latest ef- forts he has made is that his system is a series of balls and it is so constructed that five balls are going down and three up, thus giving him power that ie repre- sented by the weight. of the two falling balls. Now sneer at that if you want to. But remember that folks sneered at the effort to make a steam engine and a telephone. We are hoping that ‘Mr. Fulk will succeed, and if he does then this town is famous and the world in possession of a great invention. Named Pullman Palace Carr on Ac- ‘ count of Place of Birth. New York Special to Baltimore Sun. Among the new bluejackets who, it is eaid, will be assigned to the pew dreadnought Florida, which went into commission at the navy yard last Friday afternoon, will be Seaman Pullman Palace Carr. When Carr applied for enlistment the recruiting officer asked his nane. “Pullman Palace Carr,’’ the ap Dlicant answered. “Young man, this is serious and 1 must ask you to refrain from jokes. Now tell me your correct Rame.” “fam not joking. Pullman Pal- ace Carr is the name my parents gave me.” . Tbe enlistment papers were sent to the Navy Department. The offi- cers there concluded that the name was wrong and ordered the papers sent to the recruiting office ‘for correction. The papers were return- ed to Washington with the indorse- ment that the name was correct. Still the Navy Department had {te doubts, and a letter of inquiry was sent to the parents of the new sailor. The parents replied that Pullman Palace Carr was born in a vehicle, so-called, which explained his name. If Judge Landis might be named for Kenesaw Mountain, they could not see why their boy could not be just as fitly named for a palace on wheels. HOW'S THIS?

The new one was col- ered by dipping it into tomato catsup bought at a grocery store. The coloring matter !# coal tar dye, “used extensively in adulterated foods.” If strawberry pop and tomato catsup has enough coal tar dye to color a stocking, it doesn’t take & vivid imagination to picture what that same coal tar dye will do to the hu- man stomach. Gun Once Owned By Andsiew Jack- son. |Raleigh News and Observer. Mr. James S. Lucas came ip Sat- ufday from Orange county and brought with him a gun which, he says, was owned by Andrew Jack- son. As to the history of the gun, Col. Lucas said: “This gun was owned by Andrew Jackson,when Old Hickory lived at Salisbury. Up- on the occasion of going to Hille boro to court he took the gun with him and when he returned to Salis- bury left the gun at Hillsboro. Since, then it has been in the hands of many people. I secured it from Mr. Brooks Parker, who has had it for | a long time, and it has been a tra- dition inOrange county for genera- tions that this is the gun owned by Andrew Jackson.

Parker, IMrector Co-operative Mxperiments, N. C. Dept. Agr- eulture. Bvery farmer owes it to himself, te Ms family and to posterity, to sake the best care of his land that te possibly can; to maintain its fer- tility and to keep it from washing q@way. Investigators, whether scientists e? practical farmers,have found that winter cover crops of any kind pre- weat land, in a large measure, from washing, and when turned un- éer the following spring make it wore productive than if mo crop fead grown on it. An experiment covering a number o* years, in one of the North west- ere Mates, showed that more plant food was lost from the land during the months when no cropé were grows on it than was taken off in the regular summer crops. If this wes true in that State, whene they have long and cold winters, when leaching is impossible for weeks at a time,how much more would it be true in North Carolina, with her epen winters, when plant food can Be leached from our soils almost any week during our winter months. A ton of green rye contains, ac- eording to good authorities, about 6.6 pounds of nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid and 14.6 pounds tash. A tov of green wheat con tains 10.8 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid and 14 pounds pot- ash. Green oats contain just @ IMtle less plant food than does green wheat. A ton of green crim- gos clover contains 8.6 pounds ni- trogen, 2.6 phosphoric acid and 9.8 pounds potash. Red clover, bur clo- wer and the vetches contain more plaat food in ee ee state than erimeon clover do@&. The wheat and rye mentioned above was prob ably grown on fertile land, which explains their high per centage of mitrogen,for itis an established fact that crops grown on rich land con- | taim more nitrogen than when grown en poor land. For that reason grain grown on rich land has 4a| @gher feeding value than that} growp on poor land. It may be} we'll for us to remember this whéo | growing grain for our own feed- | ing purposes Rye, wheat and oats take nitro- gen trom the soil and store it ip the piant, thus saving much of this | eostiy element of plant food that | would vo:berwise be leached from | the land by our winter rains. The stools er bunches and their roots api leaves retard the flow of water | end act as brakes which will pre | wemt to a large degree the washing et oar rc'hng lands. The clover gaye the land from washing in the eame way and in addition to thie are beneficial by being able wo teke nitrogen from the air through the agency of bacteria, which adde to the fertility of the soil. But to grow these latter crops successful ly the soil must contain the bacte ria peculiar to the particular crop grown. It has been the experience of many of our farmers that any crop grown after a winter-cover crop, when turned under at the proper time in the apring, and disked well before and after turning, will pro- duce a great deal more,often a8 much as 50 per ceat. more, than if no winter cover crop had been grown. The seed for a cover crop will eost from $1 to $5 an acre, acocord- fing to kind and quantity of Bewnl eased. This should save to the soil and add to the next years crop more than twice the cost of the cov~ ex crop. Bow at the rate of 15 to 20 younds crimson clover seed per acre and cover lightly with har- gow or cultivator. These car be sowed im growing crops, on stubble land, cr after peas. Sow from 20° to 30 pounds of vetch per acre if gown w:th small grain, and if sown alone put from 40 to 50 pounds per acre. Rye should be sown at the rate of one to one and a half buehels per acre. An application of manure, or from 200 to 500 pounds acid phos- phate per acre and 25 to 50 pound muriate of potash on sandy or gray land, wild be helpfulto the clovers and vetches. For rye or other small grain it may be better to add 2 per cent. nitrogen to the above. It is time now to commence put- ting these crops in. When put in eotton fields it is better to sow im- mediately after the pickers, as in that way no cotton will be kmock- ed out in covering the seed. Put in the crop that will succeed best in your locality and experi- ment with other crops in a small way until you are assured they will | on make satisfactory growth on your Jand and under your conditions. What Drainage Has Done Where Tried. Catawba County News. All the farmers who have corn on Clark's creek this year report an excellent crop. Not a few will be fully compensated by this year’s yield for the two years’ tax paid for draimgae.

And on the lowlands is where the greater part of our corn and feed must come this year.

Chief Conner Had a Struggte With a Crazy Drunk Man—Munday, of Bethany. Chief of Police Conner, who is a strong man came near being over- matched in e6trength yesterday wheu he attempted to take John Edwards, a crazy-drunk white man, to the lockup single-handed. The officer recetved word that there was an chjectionable drunk man on west Sharpe street, and he immedi- ately drove to the point in his buggy. Finding the man lying in the street Mir. Conner aroused him and told him he would have to move on or go to the lockup. The fellow showed resistance at once but the chief managed to pick him up and place him in,the baggy, where be held him with one hand while he drove with the other The fellow “raised such a row” the horse became frightened and Mr Conner had to stop on Front street and take in Mr. T. EB. Frye to drive for him. From then until they reached the business section it re- quired all the officer’s strength to keep the prisoner in the buggy and several times the prisoner got his feet in the wheels of the buggy and came near being injured When near The Landmark office on Broad street the prisoner began kicking and struggling so desper- ately that the buggy was stopped and with the aid of four or five mer the officer took him from the bug- gy and carried him to the lockup. The ‘wisoner showed almost super- human strength and it was with great difficulty that he was pulled from the ‘buggy and overpowered The prisoner refused to give his name, but he was identified dur- ing the afternoon as John Edwards, of Catawba county. He will be given a hearing before the mayor when he sobers, which may be a day or so, judging from his actions last evening. J. C.

Two Cokored Men and a Team Im- prisoned on An Island By a Flood in the Oatawbar—RKescued With Difficulty. Mr. James Scroggs, of Troutman, who was in town Saturday, told The Landmark of a sudden rise of the waters of the Catawba _ river whieh caught a team of Mr. A. G. Brown, of Troutman, and two col- Ored men on an island in the riv- er Thursday Mr. Brown sent his team in charge of two colored men to an island in the river at Sher- rill’s Ford, for fodder. The men tied fodder during the forenoon and after dinner went across the river to the Catawba side for drink- ing water. Soom after they return- €d to the island they discovered that the river was rising rapidly and was too high for them ‘to ford. Realizing their danger, they began to call for help. It was several | hours before relief came to them, but finally they were taken off the | island in a boat, being compelied to | leave the team. They said when they left the water had come up on it had reached the bed of the wagon When the colored men reached home and told their story Mr. Brown, who was afraid his mules would be drowned, went to the riv- er that night, but the stream was 8o high that no attempt at rescue could be made. Friday afternoon he managed to get bis mules off the isl- and but had to leave his wagon,fas- lening {it to a tree to prevent its washing away. It is supposed he recovered his wagon later, but it is probable that the fodder was a loss. The rise in the river was as sud- den as it was unexrected, being due to heavy rains up the river The rise amounted to several feet-— eight feet being reported farther down the river A flood in the Catawba is something new this year. Ht is the firet time the riv- er has been up he many months. SHERIFF ADAMS TO KANSAS. Will Bring an Alexandrian From the West—Mail Agent Cloer on Correspondence of The Landmark.

It's @ pity Dr. Holmes’ theories. were Met made public last summer. The teat. might have been applied to Reuben Combs, the alleged imbecile Who killed his wife in Irdeell last Spring s s s When Mr. J. F.

It is by nd means always sure, in the first place, that the ed- itor ia going to tte second best in the scrap, but even if he ie licking him may prove/to be an expensive luxury, as it wae in this case. s se s Samuel H. /Hyde, who has been sentenced to/death at Anderson, S. C., tor the /murder of hia wife and his wife’s ‘father, is so different from the Average murderer that he is worthy of consideration. Hyde's wife left) him and went to the home of ker parents. Hyde entered the house at night and shot his wife dead while she lay in bed, wounding her young ‘sister, who was in bed with her. Then when Mrs. Hiyde’s father tried to re- strain his son-in-law, the old man was shot dead. Strange to aay, Hyde didn’t claim that he had brainstorm or offer any of the ex- cuges common in such cases. He frankly admitted his guilt and said he deserved the death penalty. He wanted to plead guilty and save the formality of @ trial, hut the court properly refused to accept the plea of guilty and appointed an attorney to defend him. He was promptly convicted, but instead of clamoring for an appeal he said the conviction was just and that he deserved death; that the day of his death would be the happiest day he had known for years, or words to that effect; and out of deference to his wishes his attor- ney did not appeal. The case is so unusual that the Charlotte Ob server thinks Hyde should be given a Carnegie medal before he swings. TheLandmark isof the opinion that the man is really crazy. The devils who commit murder and then pre- tend to be crazy,or offer some flim- sy excuse for the crime, are usuel- ly sane and responsible, but they escape. Here is a man who says is responsible and deserves death. Ht is so unusual that the Man’s sanity may well be question-~- ed The Landmark is of the opin ion tha: his sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment at least. s s s Taking note of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Hulten, of Charlotte, in which he referred to ‘‘wild- eye’ Bryanism’’ and took it upon himself to warn Southern people to be very careful “what your Congressmen do at the next session of Congress, or else some of you who own cotton mill stock May be offering it for sale at 25 cents on the dollar,” the Elkin Times remarks: It would perhaps be claimed that @ preacher has no right to discuss political questions from the pulpit; and it is this phase of the question about which we desire te speak briefly. If Dr. Hulten” sincerely believes that tampering with the tariff threatens the prosperity of his people, he would be untrue to them if he did not sound the alarm; for whatever may be said to the contrary, a minister does feel, and he ahould feel, a deep interest in the temporal welfare of his people —yes,of the whole country. It is his duty to cry out against every wrong that affects the welfare of his people—either spiritually or temporally. “The Times is not dis- cussing the merits of Dr. Hulten’s declarations. The thing we de sire to emphasize is that the doc- tor has a perfect right to study these questions and form opinions in regard to them, and haying done these things, he has a perfect right to give his people the benefit of his investigations and conclusions. This is certainly giving a wide latitude to the Gospel ministry. Cer- tainly a minister should study po- litical questions and form conclu- sions in regard to them, and what concerns the temporal welfare of his people should concern him. But unless the members of church- es are willing to. be governed by their pastor’s views as to political matters—and of course few of them will be—he will be wise to leave political questions out of his pulpit discourses. Men differ and hon- estly differ about the tariff amd oth- er economic questions of govern- mental policy. In every congrega- tion there are people of different views on these subjects. Think you, thea, that when the pastor ad- vises a course which some of his congregation honestly believe is not the correct one, that they will accept his views simply because he By no manner of means. They will accept, or de- fer to, his views about religious matters, for it is his buginess to teach and expound the Scriptures. But they are not going to accept his pol‘tical teaching if it is not in xecord with their views, no mat- ter how honest he may be in these views rer how able a student of political questions he may be If you don’t believe it let the preach- | of thing, und | as the sun shines churches} split ers begin this sort &8O gure Mill be | wide open, religion will be forgotten in the political rif e and turmotl and only ult.

The Location of the Fir Settles in a Historic Community—Tor- rence’s Tavern and Other Historic Places of Revolutionary and Pre- Revolutionary Days. In respénse to an inquiry for in- formation about Centre church, ¢on- gregation and community, J. W. A. Kerr, Esq., of Davidson township, who knows more about south. Ire- dell history than any man now Iiv- ing, wrote the following to Dr. P. F. Laugenour, president of the Iredell County Historical Society: First. The history of Centre church was written several years ago by the late Rev. Dr. E. F. Rock- well and we have a copy of it . 4 y * i” Sr are " A le: aes i Ata onthe oot ok leo ene ti, the same road at the crossing of a creek, the bottom was ditched about 1850 and about two or three feet under the surface in the ditches there was a causeway of logs, sup- posed to have been made by Corn- wallis’s army to cross upon. I saw it myselt. ‘lone Kerrs of Revolutionary times lived about eight miles northwest of Torrence’s Tavern, near the Present station of Mount Mourne, Ou the Atlantio, Tennessee and Ohio (Statesville and Charlotte) railroad. The lands are now owned by various ones but no one lives at the former home and none of the old buildings remain. The ‘YVempletons iived on the east s ue c’” Davidson’s greek, about 114 miles from Torrénce’s Tavern, pasted in the Session Book of the records of this church exactly as it was published in tke North Car- olina Presbyterian, at the time it was written. Owing to the fact tret the records of the church up .|to 1850 have been lost and cannot be found, this history by Dr. Rock- well is as complete as can be obtained, ' Second. The residence of “A. D Kerr’ named in Wheeler's Histo- ry (my father, Alfred Davidson Kerr) «tood on the spot where Dr. W. B. Mott’s residence now stands. His mother, my grandmother, a Davidson, a near relative of Gen. Wlliam Davidson, who was killed at Cowan’s Ford February 1, 1781. “Torrence’s Tavern” stood about 200 yards northeast of the A. D. Kerr residence, now Dr. Mott’s. My fatber, at the time of my birth, lived on the very spot where Tor- rence’s Tavern stood. Tuird. The old church near Tor- renee's Tavern, the first church in which Centre congregation met and worshipped, was located near wher> R. J. Houston now lives, on the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio ra lroad, the railroad passing over the graveyard south of Torrence’s Tavern and about a mile from it. Th'- church was burned; supposed to have been the work of an incen- diary, a woman, after which Cen tre church was rebuilt at its present location, in the years 1774 and 1715. { have on the fly leaf of a history of that profound preacher and patriot, Dr. David Caldwell, pastor of old Alamance and Buffa- lo churches, this inscription writ- ten with pen and ink, viz: ‘“‘Centre church commenced in 1774; com Dieted and seated in 1775.” While I am writing about Cen- tre church it is proper and {4n- teresting to note the architecture lof that church edifice as it was built sign jin 1775. In 1854 I bought the old |church that was built in 1775 and |removed it to be replaced by the ~ |present rick church The old |ehurch was about 80 feet long and 40 feet wide, with a gallery in one end for the negroes. The pulpit was on tke north side, in the mid- die against the wall. The house was built of logs, hewed, from 48 to 24 inches broad and about 20 feet long. On each end of the logs was a tenant the full width of the logs. There were corner posts set upright about 18 or 20 feet high and on the two near faces was cut a groove from top to b@t- tom, Then there were other pddts between the corner posts, grooved on opposite sides, set upright and the tenanted logs dropped down in the grooves. The house was weath- erbearded without and ceiled with- in. It had three doors—one on the east, one on the south and one |west, with raised seats against the |walls facing the pulpit. | Fourth. North of and about 150 |yards frem the W. B. Mott house tradition locates the place where those who were led in the skir- |mish with Cornw pat Torrences |Tavern, were buried, and t also at a spot south of Torrence’s Taver! I remember when I was a boy plow- ing near ote of the spots, of plow- ing up a bone which was examined by Dr. J. H. Houston, who said it was the semall bone ofa human arm A great many musket and common rifle balls, one or two bayonets and the metal remains of one common huntsman’s rifle, have been found around Torrence’s Tavern. Fifth. The public road from Mt Mourne to Charlotte, which former- iy turned south near the residence of Dr. Mott, crossed the railroad near where R. J. Houston now lives, was changed in the decade of 186! Sixth. “The Great South Road” or “Indian Trading Path,’ from Thyatira to Beatties Ford, wus nearly on the bed as it now runs from Thyatira through Mooresville, Centre, Mt. Mourne and on to Beat- tie’'s Ford. I do not think it has been changed more than 100 yards at any place. Seventh. The location of the homes of the early settlers were as follows: Alexander Osborne’s home southeast from Torrence’s Tavern, two miles northeast of Davidson Col- lege, 1% miles as the crow flies It' is now cut up into several small farms. Moses Winslow's place was southwest from Torrence’s Taver? 1% miles, now owned by Whitley, Dr. E. Q. Houston and others. The place of Hugh Lawson was south of the last named place and ig now owned by John Washam and others. Moses White was located about three miles west of Torrence’s Tav- ern and hia place is sti] in the fam- ily, being owned by Moses W White, of Mooresville. Rev. James McRae lived north- east of Torrence’s Tavern, on 4 place now owned by J. Y. Temple ton, and others. Brawley settled north of Moores- ville and his old home is still in the hands of his descendants The residence of John Brevard, which was burned by Cornwallis, was east of Torrence’s§ Tavern The place ts now owned by J. Y Templeton. The place of Capt. Houston, Lwhose residence was also burned, is mile east of Torrence’s Tavern and ia now owned by Dr. Georse Houston's heirs, descendants of the same family. It is on what is now known as the old Salisbury road, the same that Cornwallis traveled in pursuit of Gen. Morgan and Gen Green, om their retreat through was was | Shes ail some of their lands are still in ithe family While I am writing of the |families of Centre congregation, I |Shou:d note that from our church | has gone out two men not unknown jte fame. I refer to Hugh Lawson White, who was called the Cato of ithe Senate of the United States, |Whi.e a member of that body from | Tenneseee F He was born on Da- | dson’s creek, about five or six }Dules west of the church, moved jto the State of Tennessee and was \there elected to the United States Senate, being president of that body in 1832. In 1836 he received 36 electoral votes for President of the United States. The other was Gen. Sam House- ton, the here of San Jacinto, Tex- 1s, who was the man who conquer- ed the Mexicans at San Jacinto and gained for Texas its independence. | While I do not know the exact place of his birth, I am sure that it was in the bounds of Gertre congrega- tion These two names staid high on the pinnacle of fame in the = an- nals of history in our country. One received a considerable number of votes in the electoral college for |President of the Umited States; the other gained and established a ew nation, to-wit, Texas, and was its first and only President, it be- ing annexed to the United States while he was President. Eighth. There was located in the bounds of Centre congregation, on the lands now owned by R. J. Houston, a high school known = as “Growfields High School,” about 11» miles southeast from Torrence’s Tavern, now Mt. Mourne I have been on the location and seen the mound made by the remains of the eld chimney where it stood.

Davidson creek has its ,origin in the vicinity of Moores- ville and runs southwest 1% miles from and west of Centre church, aod empties into the Catawba be low Beattie’s Ford. In 1854 and previous to that time there were located on this creek three public ; mills. The first and oldest was the McPherson, Mill], not far from |Mooresville. I carried grain to ft jin 1850 and it had been in opera- jtidm several years when I first saw The next one was at the old Geo. F. Davidson place, about 2% miles west of Centre church. It was bulit about 1850 The other, built in 1850, was half way between the two, on Rufus Reid's place. Two other prominert families of the Oentre congregation were Dae- vidsons and Ramseys. The David- sons lived on Davidson’s creek, and ag well as I remember there were four brothers—Gen. Ephraim Da- vidson, John Davidson, Reece Da- vidson, and I have forgotten the pame of the other; and, as far as I remember, one sister, Jane, who married my grandfather, James Kerr. Ephraim and John lived on the west side of the creek and Reece and the other one lived on the east side. They owned a large tract of land, some 2,000 acres, but none of it is now owned by any of their descendants. None of the old buildings occupied by them are now standing. All are gone. I do not remember seeing any of them, they being dead before my day and time. I am now 76 years old. George F. Davidson, the only son of Ephraim, was a very promi- nent man financially, being worth about $150,000 and owning some 150 negroes in time of slavery. He was elected several times to theLeg~ islature of North Carolina, serving in both the Senate and House of Representatives. In the decade of 1840, in cutting a ditch on the lands of the Da- vidgons from the creek to or near the spring of the Reece Davidson house, there was found, about two feet under the surface, near the spring, in the ditch, a dining room service made of pewter, whick is supposed to have been burid there when Cornwallis passed through this country to prevent ite being taken by him or his soldiers. Centre Congregation furnished 53 soldiers in the Revolutionary War and three captains, viz: Cap- tain Falls, Capt. Houston, and Cap- tain (I do not remember). These did service at Ramseur’s Mill, King’s Mountain and Torrence’s, Captain Falls was killed at Ram- seur’s Mill and his body wae car ried from there by his wife, In front of her on horeeback. It was carried across the river and buried in Iredell, but just where no one can tell. It is supposed, however, that it was at Centre, or more prob- ably at Baker's graveyard. {This will be followed by a histo- ry of Centre Congregation writ- ten by Eaq.

These two tragedies should be a warning for future conduct in such oases, but the warning will hardly be effective.

President Taft had a _ heart-o- beart talk here today with the lead- j ers of the different Republican fac- | jtions in. Illinois, defined his status as to progressiveness, pleaded guil- ty to being a vrey poor politician, acknowledged again that his ambi- tion had lain in the direction of the} |office of Chief Justice rather than Ithe presidency; admitted that he undoubtedly had made many mis- jtakes, but asserted that as Presi- |dent he had tried to do what he jthought to be right What the fu- an held for him, he did not know; he would go ahead doing the best he could. Mr. Taft declared he was not allied with the extremists of bis party, either conservatives or progressives, but had tried to take a middle groumd between the two. “But we middleoftneroad peo- rile believe’ we are the real pro- | gressives,"’ said the President, ‘‘be- jo abe you do not make progress in ;great strides, you make it step by j step.” The President was in a_ serious | mood He declared that while it | might not be so for a time, the peo- |ple in the end would distinguish |between “fact and fustian’’ and rec ognize the differénce between sub- {stance in progress and _ platform |declarations written for campaign [oarneeee only | The speech made by the Presi- dent was the most significant and | Interesting of his trip thus far. |}He still was downcast by the de- {feat of the reciprocity agreement in Canada, but his only reference to that subject was made early in the |\day when he addressed the work- ingmen in a local manafacturing es- tablishment where farming imple- ments are made. “I was sorry to hear that in Canada they do not care to have claser commercial relations with us,” he said. “If reciprocity had been adopted we could have gotten our agricultural implements into Canada at a substantial decrease. But I guess we can get along.”’ A damage suit which presents a new phase of interest has been inetituted by John Baird, adminis- trator of. James Baird, colored, againat the Asheville school because James Baird was drowned in a lake belonging to the school while out in a boat, which was also the prop- erty of the school.

Every thread of clothing, except the neckband of his shirt, was burned off the boy.

The Laurier govemiment and reciprocity suffered an overwhelm- ing defeat in the Canadian elections held today. By a veritable political landslide | the liberal majority of 43 was} swept away and the Conservative | party secure? one of the heaviest | majorities, upwards of 50, that any | Canadian party has ever had. a en cabinet ministers who had served | with Premier Laurier were among the defeated candidates.

Borden, leader of | the Coneervative party, will shortly | become the prime minister of Can- | ada.

The Conservatives are committed to a policy of trade expansion within | the Empire and a closed door against the United States.

But it was in Ontario that the Conserva- tives won their greatest victories. Spurred on by appeals to patriot- ism and the cry that reciprocity was the entering wedge for annex- ation, the Conservatives swept near ly everything before: them. That provinee, which in the last Parlia- ment was represented by 35 Liber- als and 51 Conservatives, will send a delegation to the next composed of 13 Liberals and 75 Consefva- tives. Who Paid For the Colonel's Hunt- ing Expedition? Richmond Times-Dispatch. The cost of The Colonel’s Afri- ean hunting trip was $80,000, of which $57,000 was paid by the Smithsonian Institution, acting for several men of wealth who contrib uted privately the money. Who are these men? What rela- tion did they bear to the famous sportsman when he was in the White House? The colonel began making ar- rangements for this expedition more than a year before he left the |presidency. ‘It is belived that while he was in that office he com mitted the Smithsonian Institution to the enterprise. He went almost directly from the White House to the wilderness. No other Preai- dent or King ever went hunting la s® much pomp or at 60 much ex- pense. Very fairly, then, does the 8t.

FOR INDIGESTION, THE LANDMARK TUBSDAY, — — September 26, 1911. a THE RAKE AND THE FARMERS. Beattie’s Oriticism of His Jury Pointe a Meral and Adorns a Tale. Thomasville Davidsonian. Beatti¢é, the wife murderer, who, if the verdict of the court is not set aside, will take a seat in the electric chair in the month of No- yember, has bitterly attacked the jiry that convicted him, his chief criticiam being that ‘‘they were farmers from the backwoods” and did not understand city life and city ways. Hhis criticism is probably correct.) but it points a moral and adorns a tale. It shows how far the life of a city sport is removed from that of the plain and honest citizens of the rural districts. Beattie looks upon the love of virtue and the sanctity of the home with contempt; these farmers still believe in the marriage tie and the sacredness of domestic fidelity and honor Men and brethren, there are more Beatties than one, and they do not all live in cities. In many a commu- nity this contempt for the clean and virtuous life is manifest. In most of our towns there is a social seniiment that reeks with vice. Mod- est maidenhood is discounted, inno- e@nce is laughed at and the price leas jewel of domestic purity is dis- credited and trampled under unhal- lowed feet. But the whole world is not going to the devil. There are s#tijl those who will not bow the knee to Baal. Those Virginia farmers are the type of a class who are the very salt of the earth. They may be backwoods, men but they are not back numbers; and they are on the winning side. It behooves every citizen who stands for the purity of the home and for the virtue of our sons and daughters to line up with the farm- ers, who, because of their rugged honesty and their simple faith have startled the world. They have per- formed a service to bumanity the value of which had not entered into their heads. The very fact that their verdict astonished the nation shows how far we have gone astray.

Save Ours Bat Cut the Other Fel- low’ s. Thomasville Davidsonian. John Sharp Williams never spoke the truth more simply or strongly than when he said: ‘‘Whenever you find a man howling for ‘incidental protection’ if you will throw an X- you will @nd that the protection aimed at is not an ‘incident’ but an end.” It takes sense to boil down a whole book into a single sentence and that is exactly what Senator Williams has done in the above | paragraph These people who clamor for rev- enue for the benefit of the gov- ernment on. certain articles cmre no- and in their hearts they care nothing for Democratic doctrine. If they dared to they would be as rank protec- tionists as Gallinger or Cannon. Tiey are after the “swag” and they ought to be honest enough to confess it. The tariff on lumber, mica, cot- ton and sugar ought to go off just like the tariff on nails and win- dow glass and trace chains. What is the difference? All these things entér into the daily needs of the dear people whose rights are 80 gallantly guarded by the politicians! We will tell you the difference with some Democrats, however, if you will promise not to give us away. Nails and window glass and trace chains are manufactured in the North and cotton, lumber and sugar are Manufactured in the South. These gentlemen get red in the face and denounce the rob- ber tariff for taxing the poor man who puts in a glass window, but they see no harm whatever in ex~ tracting a few dollars from him for the lumber that goes in the same house or for the sugar that sweet- ens his coffee. The Fearful Lose of Life in the Mines. Washington Dispatch. Thirty thousand miners killed in the United States in the last ten years; 75,000 miners injured, many of them maimed for life, in the same period; 11,000 widows made by the deaths of the miners; 30,000 children left fath- erless. This terrible record represents not only the accidents in the coal mines, but also the metal mines. It is the story of the tragedy of the mines, but not the whole story. Ifthe mines of the United States in those ten years had had the same standards of safety as in the European countries; if the United States had killed two in every 1,000 employed instead of three, four or five, 15,000 of the 30,000 American miners killed might be living today; | 40,000 of the 75,000 injured might have escaped injury; 5,500 widows} might not have been widows; 15,000 | orphan children might still have fath-| ers. This is the whole grim tragedy of the mines Soe It acneot the most serious preblems of the country | and the one that brought the Federal | Bureau of Mines into being. It isthe| great problem that the bureau of} mines, under the leadership of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, its director, is at- tempting to solve. »{duced with water and sweetened, TI T T T I T TT JI T 7 + Some Sensible Suggestions About Saving. Elkin Times. No young man starting out for himself being dependent upon his own exertions can afford unneces- sary expense. He must deny him- self extras or always remain poor, Even a five cent cigar each day will amount to $18.25 in one year; and one who saves that sum wil] be much ahead of the one who spends it. And the habit of saving will be worth everything. If he saves $18.25 each year, only putting it at six per cent. simple interest, it would in 20 years amount to $570.

Hen Smith, colored, was arrested this week and placed in jail to await trial in Superior Court for the larceny of whiskey belonging to Clem Garner, a biind negro. The offence was committed some months ago and Hen had since been on the dodge. Tub Stevenson, who was indicted with him,was arrested soon after the offense and received a sentence to the roads, which he is now serving. Hen, who says he haa been in Virginia, returned a few days ago to his home in the negro settlement south of town, known as Rabbittown, where he was 6ur- rounded by officers and arrested. According to the evidence at the trial of Stevenson, he and Smith went to the home of the blind man and while one engaged him in con- verpation the other slipred his liq- uor from the house and then the two took it away and drank it. Later, when they found they were about to be indicted, they went to the blind man and tried to put a stop to the case by paying for the booze. Joho Edwards, the crazy-drunk ™Man arrested Monday, as told in ‘Tuesday's Landmark, was fined $20 and roasts for his offense. Jeck Colvert, colored, was axed $5 and costs yesterday by the miay- or for disorderly conduct at the passenger station. Recommendation For School Board Vacancy. At theirlast meeting the aldermen decided to give the graded school board the privilege of suggesting a candidate for the vacancy on the board caused by the death of Mr. J. K. Morrison. At 4 meeting of the school board this week it wap decided to suggest the follow- ing names to the aldermen, either of the gentlemen named being agree- able to the school board: Dr. T. E. Anderson, Messrs. G. E. French, Wm. Morrison, J. A. Brady, C. M. Steele. It is supposed that at their me¢eting a week hence the board of aldermen will elect one of the gen- tlemen suggested a member of the school board. At this meeting Rev. W. A. Latz, Mr. F. A. Sherrill and Supt. Thomp- son were appointed a committee to have the outside doors of the school building changed so as to swing outward, this being desirable in case of panic from fire or other cause. Sanitary drinking fountains were recently installed throughout the building. NOT A WORD OF SCANDAL! marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P.

While operating the cotton gin of Brown Bros., at Troutman, Wed- nesday morving, Mr. C. Henry Brown was the victim of an acci- dent which cost him his left hand. Mr. Brown ran his hand under one of the gins to adjust the ma- chinery and when his fingers acci- dentally touched the rapidly revolv- ing saws of the gin his hand was quickly drawn into the saws and his hand and arm badly lacerated almost up to the elbow. The injury was. given medical attention at Troutman and Mr. Brown was then brought to Dr. Long's Sanatorium, where it was found that the hand and wrist were so terribly cut and crushed that amputation between the wrist and elbow was necessary. The injury is naturally exceedingly painful, but the patient is getting along as well as could be expected and it is hoped that the wound will soon heal without more serious re- sults. ‘ Writing om the Sidewalks and Lit- ter in the Streets. “I want,The Landmark to enter @ protest against writing advertise- ments on the sidewalks,” said a citi zen a few days ago. ‘‘We are put- ting down a lot of cement paving,” he continued, ‘‘trying to make the town attractiveand the walke should not be disfigured with advertising or writing of any kind. If there isn’t an ordinance to cover the of- fence Lhope the aldermen will pase one at their very next meeting. The sidewalks are the property of the Public, for parblic use, and individ- uals have no right to use them for private purposes. While the writing isn’t an impediment to Jo comotion it is unsightly and I think improper. “While on this subject I think it would be a good idea to stop the scattering of advertising circu- lars, or waste paper, in the streets The paper litters the streets and is unsightly. The whole time of a Man and a team, at the expense of the town js required in the busi- hess section to collect and cart off this litter, and then the trash can’t be kept out of the way. The streets are clearied Saturday and by Sun- day morning they are littered and unsightly. It seems to me that if some diligence was used to keep this trash out of the streets it would not only gave work and ex- Depee but. would ada. much to the attractiveness of the town “More could be said, but this will do for this time.” Jurars For Fdeeral Court.

Political Factions Show Their Teeth in Kansas. Hutchinson, Kans., Dispatch, 26th Near the close of what had been fa non-partisan celebration of the fif- tieth anniversary of the birth of Kansas as a State, with President Taft as the principal speaker, a political ineident flared up here loGay and. gave a-thrill to the thou- sands of Kansane who packed the grandstand at the Sate fair grounds. Walter L. Fisher, Secretary of the Interior in the President's cab ‘met, just back from Alaska, made a 3«minute speech in which he said some things about the difference be tween “real progressives of the middle-ofthe-road type, like Mr Taft,” and “hypocritical, demazgogic progressives, who opfosed ever) practical progresive policy put forth.” Senator Joseph L. Bristow, Kongas, ranking second only Senator La Follette, among the progressives of the Sen ate, followed Secretary Fisher and quickly caught up his challenge “We in Kansas,” he said, ‘are al- ways willing to grant that the oth er fellow is honest in his views and we expect him to grant that w« ale honest in ours.

The Story of a Rifle Balk in a Poplar Tree. Wilkesboro Patriot. ; Last week a load of tumber came to Mr. @. C. Gambill’s lumber yard, in North Wilkesboro. In this load was a poplar plank and in this pop- lar plank, by a mere chance, they happened to discover an ounce bal that wae shot from an old Spring- field rifle during the civil war. The bullet is accounted for’ tm this way: The home guard, led by Solomon Long and Hort Doughton, of Alleghany county, had set fire to Johnson Caudill’s dwelling and out- houses, Caudill being a. strong Un- ion man. A gang of deserters, or bushwhackers, were discovered near by, watehing the buildings burn, and a fight ensued. Three men were killed—Lewis , Charles and William Sebastian. The that contained the ounce ball mired in its heart was cut on the where this fight took place. ic An interesting part of the story is that the grandson of Lewis Se- bastian, thé cousin of Charlies Se- bastian and the nephew of Wil- Nam an, was the mar who hauled the plank that contain- ed the ball to the lumber yard. This ball might have been the one that killed one of his ancestors. Monroe Journal: Otis, the five- year-old son of Mr. and Mra. L.

Henry Brown, of Troutman, the Victim—Left Hand Gone. While operating the cotton gin of Brown Bros., at Troutman, Wed- nesday morning, Mr. C€. Henry Brown was the victim of an aocci- dent. which cost him his Jeft hand. Mr. Brown ran his hand under one of the gins to adjust the ma- chinery and when his fingers acci- dentally touched the rapidly revolv- ing saws of the gin bis hand was quickly drawn into the saws and his hand and arm badly lacerated almost up to the elbow. The injury was. given medical attention at Troutman and Mr. Brown was then brought to Dr. Long's Sanatorium, where it was found that the hand and wrist were so terribly cut and crushed that amputation between the wriat and elbow was necessary. The injury is naturally exceedingly painful, but the patient is gettin along as well as could be tat and it is hoped that the wound will soon heal without more gerious re suits. _ Writing om the Sidewalks and Lit- ter in the Streets. “I want The Laudmark to enter @ protest against wriling advertise- ments on the sidewalks,” said a citi zen a few days ago. ‘‘We are put- ting down a lot of cement paving,” he continued, ‘‘trying to make the town attractive and the walks should not be disfigured with advertising or writing of any kind.

Jurors for the October term of the United States Court which con- venes in Statesville October 16 have this week and placed in jail to await trial in Superior Court for the larceny of whiskey belonging to Clem Garner, a blind negro.

The Story of a Rifle Balk in a Poplar Tree. Wilkesboro Patriot. : Last. week a load of lumber came to Mr. @. C. Gambill’s lumber yard, in North Wilkesboro. In this load was a pordar plank and in this pop- lar plank, by a mere chance, they happened to discover an ounce balk that wae shot from an old Spring- field rifle during the civil war. The bullet is accounted for im this way: The home guard, led by Solomon Long and Hort Doughton, of Alleghany county, had set fire to Johnson Caudill’s dwelling and out- houses, Caudill being a strong Un- ion man. A gang of ore, or bushwhackers, were discovered neat by, watching the buildings burn, and a fight ensued. Three men were killed—Lewis , Charles and William Sebastian. The tree that contained the ounce ball mired in its heart was cut on the spot where this fight took place. An- interesting part of the story is that the grandson of Lewis Se- bastian, thé cousin of Charlies Se- bastian and the nephew of WiI- Mam an, was the man who haulef the plank that contaim- ed the ball to the lumber yard. This ball might have been the one that killed one of his ancestors. Monroe Journal: Otia, the five- year-old son of Mr. and Mra. L. Z.

President Taft always rings true and clear on the neécessity—the ur- went nevessity—for a change in our method of judicial procedure; and the fact that the President has served on the bench adde weight to bis utterances on this subject, for he speaks from experienc. On sev- eral occasions the President in his public utterances has emphasized the urgent need of the reform of our judicial methods. Talking on the subject at St. Louis the other day, he said this is the one thing “that is more easily reach- ed and more needed under our gov- ernment than any other,’ and his ‘words were not too strong. Follow- ang is an extract from his St. Louis wpeech : “One of the real reasons for dis- @ontent is the character of the procedure and the administration of justice in our courts. I believe that the States of this country and the young lawyers of this country @hould devote their attention to a constant discussion and pressure upon Legislature for cutting short Judicial procedure and expediting jus- tice. It is the one thing in my judgment that is more easily reach- ed and more needed under our gov- éernment than any other. “Trial by jury is a good thing. Xt bringe into the aministration of Justice the people and in a popular government the reople feel safer 1 that they are called in to determine of important facts. But trial by jury, my friends, as stated 4m the constitution, was a trial by jury of the facts under the inwpira- tion of a judge who had the power to tell the jury what the law was, and had the power to hold the court room under his control and mot let it be taken away by the @ounsel for the prosecution or the counsel for the defense. “Amd yet the suspicion of the ceople of the judges has been such, the movement of all legislation from the Atlantic ‘westward, has been to take away from the judges the Power they had under the English @ystem that we have copied and the system that we have rut into eur constitution. “If a judge is not frightened by | | anybody and will carry on a court as his court, then you will have your administration of justice as it is in England. “The tendency of legislation ought to be toward giving the judg- @s more power and then making the Judges responsible. There. is no difficulty about making judges re- sponsible, eit>er. I know it is pro- posed to make a shortcut, and cut his head off without any reason,just because the people wish it, under the theory of a judicial recall. I agree that the movement has foun- @ation in basis which I have stated Ramely, that the courts have not fulfilled the functions that they ought to fulfill, but I do not agree that therefore you ought to kill the court, and that is what I think you are doing if you make every tenure of office dependent on an election. “Gentlemen, that won't do. Make your judges responsible. Impeach them. Impeachment of would bé a very healthful thing in these times. I have known instances in Congress where there was ground for impeachment that ought to have been carried through, but on inquiry I found that difficulties between the. members of Congress and the judge had beén settled by com promise—+the — had passed away. “It is not necessary that we Should ha@ve an impeachment by the Legislature, if that is a clumsy method, as it . We can have @ome other method ‘of investigat- {ng the qualifications of judges and if they don't fill the measure re- move them. Hava some sort of judicial hearing in which the facts shall be considered.’ On this matter the President is ‘entirely sound. He admits that the elemor for the recall of judges has its basis in a real grievanée—in the fdtt that our courts have not and do not fulfill the functions for which they were created; and it ™may be said here that the clamor for the recall is but another in- Stance of the rule that when abuses are long neglected—when those whose duty it is fail to rem- edy ¢évile which admittedly exist ——the people will finally become aroused to take the remedy into their own hands and the tendency dn such cases is always to go tothe extreme. As The Landmark sees it, the judicial recall is a serious men- ace to the independence of the Judiciary and the orderly adminis- tration of justice; for if the courts must yield to popular clamor, which is the recall in its final analysis, then ‘indeed will conditions become ehaotic. But The Landmark also jhopes and believes that the agita- “€ion for the recall will prove bene- ficial; that it will hasten the ehange of judicial methods which the President urges. And an im- Portant change which he advocates a judge). will be seen that the extreme meth- od is unnecessary, while at the same time there will be a change for the better in our judges and a woaderfu’ improvement in court procedure, But the judges and the lawyers want to remember that if they con- tinue to use their influence to pre vent these needed changes of judi- cial methods, as they have in the past, so surely will the judicial re- eall become a fact, and in the not distant future at that, and those who have refused to permit any change will be responsible; for rest assured that the creople will not always remain quiet under con- ditions as they exist. A correspondent of a Laurinburg paper relates that a young man saw bees going in and out of a knot hole on a large pine tree, the tree being somewhat isolated and the knot hole 50 or 60 feet from the ground Believing he had found a bee tree, the young man secured help and a few days later cut the tree, but on cutting into it they found two snakes—one stotted and the other black—but little evidence of honey and oply a few bees. Summarizing this story, the Char- lotte Chronicle remarks: Now this anxtous correspondent wants to kuow “how did the smakes get there? The tree was large and tall and no'limbs nearer than 40 or 50 feet from the ground. Did they crawl up the tree? Did they do it to get the honey?” Here, is a case tor Judge Clark and Squire Barkl-v. They can answer it off- hand and we would like to hear thelr concurrent opinion. This wiiter has little knowledge of snakes. He doesn’t cultivate them an4 at no time will he willing- ly look upon one, dead or alive. But we can inform Col. Harris and the anxious correspondent that snakés can and do climb trees; they do that to, prey upon birds’ nests birds. Whether they eat honey we don’t know. It is our opinion that in a contact with bees they would be worsted We don’t believe these snakes went into the pine tree for honey. They probably went there to find young birds or squirrels and found bees instead, whereupon the bees, who may have just begun business, left in disgugt. It’s *1 wonder, though, that the bees didn’t sting the snakes’ to death aue ———————————— ‘Squire Barkley, who, as Mr. Caldwell would say, ‘is from Ire- dell,” refuses to backstand Judge Olark, of the Statesville Landm‘4«:k, in his ijatest tilt with the Chron- iele It will be remembered that the ‘squire fought nobly to help The Landmark establish ita fox sto- ries, but when it comes to Judge Clark’s inability to distinguish an ox from a cow, the ‘squire is inelin- ed to let him go his way. But he wants us to ask the judge if he knows that a snake will milk a cow? The ’squire says this is an established fact and he has seen the performance. The Landmark has never said an ox is a cow, but as a matter of fact oxen may be either male or fe- male cattle. As to the snakes milk- ing cows, The Landmark has heard that black snakes will do that. It has never seen the performance, but if ‘Squire Barkley says it’s so we accept the ‘squire’s statement be- cause he’s ‘from Iredell,’ for Ire- dell folks know things and are in the habit of keeping the facts straight; which same can’t always be said for all the folks who come from Cabarrus county. Recognition of Bravery of Life Sav- ers on North Carolina Coast, The German government throigh its ambassador at Washington, Save a dispatch to the Charlotte Observer, has announced its pur- pose to officially recognize and re- ward the seven men of the Cape Hatteras life-saving station and two men of the Creed’’s Hill (N.

Two Killed in Yancey—Wantion, bs Murder. 7 The homicide’in Yancey county, meager details of which have been printed, appears to have been an atrocious affair. A Yancey man fella the Asheville papers’ that two men are dead, Robert McKay, white, a railway labor agent, and George Young, a negro. A second negro, whose name has not been learned; was . desperately injuned and is expected to die. The story as understood in Yan- cey is that three Petersons, ~Par- ham and Zeb, brothers, and a neph- ew, Bob, had been’ deputized as of- ficers to arrest a negro named Con- ley, on some charge. They overtook the party at Green Mountain. sta- tion. McKay had engaged the three negroes mentioned for rail- road construction work in Virginia. The Petersons, or some one in the party, it, is said, forced all thee men to throw up their hands, and it was after this that they were fired’ on. McKay fell dead, George Young died later. A bul- let was taken from the breast of the unknown negro, having pene- trated the body and lodged under the center of the breastbone. These three men were shot in the back. Presumably they had started to run. Conley escaped by leaping from a bridge into the river. His nose was cut by a bullet and an- other severed his watch chain. George Young was one of the most industrious negroes in the county and bore an excellent repu- tation. His wanton slaying, as the people understand it, has aroused great indignation. That the Pe- tersons were drinking is*the theory. advanced to explain the affair. ‘Wil Cure Cotton, Stalks For Feed. Mooresville Enterprise. Among other things being deep- ly cousidered by the farmers of this immediate section, where the feed crop is so terribly short this year, is the problem of feeding their cattle over the winter. It is well-known that cotton seed, cotton seed hulls and meal made of cotton products are eaten by cattle very freely and that they fatten and thrive on the same. The question is being asked, and with good reason, why the farmers of this section do not cut their cotton stalks: and curé the leaves and stalks for feed. It is claimed that eattle will eat cured cotton stalks aud leaves with as much relish as they do the other products, and there is reason to believe that there is nourishment in them, Many of the farmers will be through rick- ing their cotton in another week or ten days, and some are prepar- ing to mow down their stalks and cure ihem for their cattle. The re- cent rains have caused the cotton to grow extra leaves and a splendid top, but too late to help the bolls. Asheville Man to Answer For Lar ceny of a Dog. An interesting case was heard be- fore the recorder in Hickory the other day, says a dispatch to the Greensboro News, when H. C. Buck- ner was tried for the larceny of a dog from George W. Lyerly. Mr Buckner lives in Asheville and was a member of a traim crew’ that camped in Hickory on the night of June 3, 1910, on which night a fine bird dog belonging to Mr. Ly- erly was stolen. It was proven in the trial that a dog answering the Cescription of this dog was found in the caboose of that train when it reached Bridgewater. Captain Boyd, conductor on the train, was in the act of putting the dog off the train when he was claimed by Mr. Buckner. The dog was. car- ried on to Asheville and was tak- en off the train by Mr. Buckner. The recorder bound the defendant to court under a bond of $200. The case attracted a good deal of at- tention. “STATE NEWS. — Rev.A. J. Moncrief,pastor of Tab- eruacie Baptist church, Raleigh, has |i resigned to accept a call to Baruesville, Ga. Col. A. H.

Instead of being a hard-worked missionary pouring out her life in beautiful Christian service in behalf of the poor sav- ages of the mountains, she is the proprietor of a handsome hospital, who spends the summer under her own roof and in the winter in the Altapass Inn, a handsome, high- priced hotel. Her business, howev- er, igs not prosperous.

To the Editor of The Landmark: Olin, Sert. 22—There ig a good woman in north Iredell with a his | tory and pedigree interesting, not | to say spectacular. Her name is | Mrs. Mary Isbell Sprinkle, nee Bo- | lin. She is a native of Davie coun-| ty. Her age the 20th of last) March was 80 years. She has been | a widow a long time. This good | woman is a great niece of “Old | Hickory” Andrew Jackson, jate President of the United States. Her mother, Miss Elizabeth Jackson, was a niece of Andrew Jackson and daughter of Alexander Jackson. Outside of her relationship to “Old Hickory,” Mrs. Sprinkle is a most excellent Christian lady, full of the most interesting re miniscences of the past 75 years. She is the mother of Mrs. Sallie B. Baity, wife of Mr. G. W. Baits, whe lives near Harmony. She was an iumate of the home of the late Hon R. C. Puryear for eight years aud was married in his home, The Marriage ceremony was performed by Mr. Puryear himself, many of the best people from several coun- Great | ties near being present. Mr. R. C. Puryear, attorney at law in Yad- kinville at this time, calls Mrs. Sprinkle ‘‘mama’” and is almost as much devoted to her as if she was his own mother. Betsy Ann Clingman, sister of the late Hon. Thomas L. Clingman, was wife of the Hon. R. C. Pur- year. Mr. John H. Sprinkle, son of Mrs. Sprinkle, is now high sher- iff of Davie county. It has betn my pleasure to know this good woman for two or three years. She lives with her son-in- law, Mr. G. W. Baity, most of the time, and any one visiting that hospitable home will enjoy a feast of good things. Mrs. Sprinkle is an optimist and says she always has been. I imagine I can see a good deal of that grand old hero, “Old Hickory,” in this good woman I feel very sure many of your readers will be interested = in the facts given above. J. A. STIKELEATHER.

Frietsch, more a ZO, com mouly spoken of as the “Lone \Mar- iner,” has arrived here from Charleston, 8. C. With a history that reads like romance, a record of having crossed the broad Atliutic alone'in a 40-foot schooner in 34 days and 3 hours, with a dare-d:vil light shining out of his set eyes, adventurer, able seaman in@ poet, the captain is a man who dee} commands the interest and atien- tion of all with whom he cones jin contact. He visited this jort about four years ago, but he cime in a different boat from the one he now Owns. Captain Frietsch earned the title of the Lone Mar- iner by his long voyages on inland lakes and many seas, always sailing alone, or, as he puts it, with only nature and the Almighty as his company. He left New Orleans in the Forward in the early part of the summer and has been proceed- ing leisurely along-the coast since that time. Hlis idea is to reach some Northern port, probably New York, and as soon as he ‘is sup plied with funds, to construct 4 schooner of about 40 feet in length and in this make an attempt to cross the Atlantic by himself in 30 days, four days less than hs former record. He derives his mon- ey from the sale of a book whicn he has written about his voyages and exciting adventures, and from the gale of rare shells and coral.which he gathers.

The Moroccan dispute between France and Germany which has oc- cupied the European stage for some months is no sooner settled than Italy comes to the front with a plan to seize Tripoli. The seiz- ure of that unimportant territory would not of itself make much of a disturbance, but Tripoli is a Tur- kish dependency, and it is said that Turkey will resist to the utmost any attempt to deprive her of this, ber last remaining African tribute- ry State. Tripoli was conquered by Turkey, and the few Turkish tn- habitante are regarded as aliens by the Berbers, the remnant of the an- client population. It has not been many years since the whole of north ern Africa, from the Red Sea to the Pillars of Hercules, was under the domination of Turkey. Before that, in ancient times, northern Africa west of Egypt was the Roman province of Mauretania. All ‘has now been taken from Turkey except Tripolt, and that is mostly an arid and unproductive land. England has Egypt, the most valuable part of northern Africa, and France hes Aigiers and Tunis and is now about to occupy Morocco. Italy has viewed this occupation of the ancient Roman possession with unrest, but has been unable to make any protest. Now it seems She has ,jetermined to get into the @ame and seize what France and England have left as not worth | taking. | In landing troops in Tripoli Italy | has the assent of both France and | England.

Scarcely half of the pedple in the United States own their homes The other half are fraying toll to the landlords. Singu- lar as it may seem a man who rents his home, say from the time he is 25 till he is 60, will pay out in actual cash fully three times the value of the house he rents and if the interest on his rent is computed the total will reach the appalling total of fully nine times the value of the home. A man who pays $15 a month rent will in that period of time pay oyt $6,300 in cash and have noth- ing but rent receipts to show for it. With the interest on his pay- ments the total would be nearly $20,000. A good many people say they cannot pay for a home. Every one-who-has-a home is paying for it. But some people pay for it for themselves and some pay for it several times for the landlord’s benefit. It is economy to pay for your home once for yourself and then have it for protection in old age. To foster the home building tendency, to make home building easy for those who have been renters and to enable the man who is not yet wealthy to own a home, is the purpose of the MUTUAL BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION of Statesville.

The Explosion on the Liberte andi the Great Disaster to the French Navy—350 to 400 Offt- cers and Men Perish. Tovilon, France, Dispatch, 25th. The battleship Liberte was torn ivart and destroyed by an explosion of her magazine today. Between 350 and 400 officers and men were killed. The battleship Republique | was badly damaged and the battle \ships Democratie and Vertie also jsuffered severely from the masses lof twisted iron and armor plate that were hurled upon their decks. | This is the greatest disaster that has ever fallen upon the French navy and in magnitude is |almost without precedent in the an- \ nals of the world’s fighting ships. {The grief which prostrates the |fleet and. nation is made more in- tense by the memory of the recent | revicw here, a notable display of |France’s naval greatness, in which {the doomed ship was one of the j fines figures. | The explosion, which wiped out fone of france’s newest and most |powerful battleships, occurred at |5.53 o'clock in the morning. It was |preceded by and was the result of jan outbreak of fire The flames \gpread rapidly in spite of all efforts |to master them, and _ reached {the magazines before there was time to flood them. The magazines exploded with tremendous violence, j\sowing death and destruction in ev- ill sell at public auction, /ery direction lto the highest bidder, at the court house) While the naval authorities es \timate the killed at between 350 and 409, it is feared that this fig- jure will be exceeded. It will be necessary to go through the ship's jmuster rolls, a task of some days, before a full Hst of the victims can ;be prepured, A jalready have, been extricated from the fantastically torn and twisted wreckage which once was the Lib- erte, and the hope is strong that there are others within the brok- jen hulk who can be reached. Exactly from what cause or when the fire broke out has not beep established, but it is believed that it had smouldered for several hours Of the vessel's full complement of 742, Captain Jaures, brother of the socialist leader, and the second officer in command, were both ashore on leave, as well as 150 other officers and men The com- mand of the ship devolved on the senior lieutenant, who perished. The fire was first discovered at 4 a m. and the bugles immediate- ly sounded the alarm The crew rushed to quarters and fought des- perately the spreading flames, but it soon was evident that the fire had obtained a firm hold. Signals of distress were flashed to the other ships and these dispatched steam pinnaces and launches at full speed jto assist in the work of extinguish- jing the flames and rescuing the men. But their services were of | little avail | The position of the fire made it jimpossible te flood the magazines Nevertheless, efforts to do so were made and finally the commanding officer, realizing that the = ship was doomed, ordered the bugler ‘to sound the “Save qui pent” (lét him save himself who can) and ‘shouted to the men to jump _ for their lives. At 5.53 the first explosion occur red It was followed -by three o'! ers at one minute intervals. Thei came the final terrific detonation, | which shattered the windows of th¢ entire city and was heard for a ra dius of many miles.

On investigation he found that astrangeanimal was perch- | ed on a small tree several feet from the ground, Beingsomewhat embar- rassed by the find, Daily hastened to his home and returned with his gun and shot the animal. News soon spread that a strange animal had been killed and many persons hastened to see it. But few of them had ever seen anything like it.
