The judgment of the British board of trade court of inquiry into the dis- aster to the White Star liner Titanic, which sank in mid-ocean with 1,517} souls after collision with an iceberg on April 14,has been pronounced by Lord Mersey.The court finds that the collision of the Titanic with the iceberg was due to the excessive speed at which the ship was navigated;that a proper watch was not kept;that the ship’s boats were properly lowered but that arrangements for manning them were insufficient;that the Leyland liner Californian might have reached the Titanic if she had attempted to,do so;that the track followed was reasona- bly safe with proper vigilance and that there was no disctimination against third class passengers in the‘saving of life. The court of inquiry exonerates J. Bruce Ismay,chairman and manag-ing director of the White Star Line and Sir Cosmo:Duff-Gordon,one of the passengers,from any charges ofimproperconduct.

An Ancient Building. The improvements being made on the St.Charles hotei building has set some folks to discussing the age ofthebuilding.None of the older.resi- dents seem to know when it was built. .Capt.P.C.Carlton says it was an old building when he:became a resident| of Statesville some 70 years ago.The hotel was owned and occupied in ante-bellum days by Mr.James F. Harbin,the father of Messrs.Watt and John F.Harbin,and the latter “was bornin thebuilding.Dr.ThomasE.Anderson,one of the older resi- dents but by no means an.old)man, felt interest enough in the mat- ter to examine the records at the} court house.There he found that on | ‘November 20,1833,near 79 years ago,Theophlius Falls conveyed.to.JamesF.Harbin a lot 160 x 214,on Center Street,for the sum of $250,the samebeingrecordedinBookR,page 154.This was undoubtedly the St.Charles:oe of hotel property.Dr.Anderson thinks|Mr.Harbin bought the vacant prop-|@@ertyandthenbuiltthehouse,after }“T!ver of one team that he must use 1833,but others think the purchase | price—land being cheap at that time| ——may have included the house.Anyway,it is probable that this old build- ing is_well on to the century mark.

In a speech at Charlotte last week Gov.Kitchin referred to the fact that most of the newspapers ‘are.boosting ‘Senator Simmons and stated in this connection that it costs money to se- cure newspaper boosting,as many of he articles favorable ta Senator Sim- ‘mons are paid for.He subsequently explained that he had no idea ‘of in-' ‘timating,:as some of the newspapers wanted to assume,‘that any newspa- “per;was bought;neither did he con- sider it improper that they should ‘¢harge for publishing.political arti- ‘50 “We're “afraid,”says the DurhamHerald,“that ‘the proposition forStateaid)to)good road!buildingcomes:toate,‘This thing.of state Aid has been worked to a.filniisth.”Mhe trouble’is’that the!bowdest 00|Bhouts.for Sitite alid..come fromthecountiesthathavedome|noth-ing to ‘build their own roads,The‘way to get good moads is’for the people’to build their own roads. his thing of calling,On the gtate and Federal government to pindourroadsiswhat,some@podly,called “a d-—paren,ideallality,” "Phe presence of negroes at the Taft,notification,ceremonies at.the negroes at the Speech)-making) was not of couse ti yer put!it wag their presence’at/the Iuteh-eon)which followed /that excitedjome;cniticism.Gf hig the ‘Wwash- cles,but “he thought these articles |imston correspondent of the Baltt- should.be.marked’as advertising.so ‘that the people would know the:situ-|: ation.In ‘a’statement in Sunday’s mione Sun Baye:—-6 eyeTheconspicuousPresenée:today:of a few negroes at the Taft nioitiyfikation)ceremonies anid)the .bufifetnewspapersSeniitorSimmonssayshis{Juncheon that followed ‘has causd manager has:paid tttle money for newspaper spage and he doubts if hé has paid’as niuch for that purpose.as Gov.Kitchin.Senator Simmons .further says that Gov.Kitchin has intimated that the lumber interests are.contributing to his campaign.

Judge Carter-soaked the Wilming- ton blind tigers in the matter of fines. One was fined $3,000,others $2,000 and on down,all being required to give bond to show for the next two years that they Weré obeying the law. The reason for the heavy fines is that the lawless element it about to run away with Wilmington and a number of the blind tigers who entered the nolo centendere pleas six months ago and gave bond to obey the law hadn’t keft faith.The circumstances doubt- less warranted the fines,or Juge Car- ter would not have imposed them,but expetience has demonstrated that the chain gang is the only real cure for a blind tiger.One man who got up in court and admitted his guilt com- plained that a silk-hatted church offi- cer interested in the seashore hotel was left unmolested,but he was as- sured that true bills had been found against the hotels.—_—_—_—_—_OCOCO A number of citizens who attended court last week asked The Landmark to commend Judge Cooke.They liked the way his honor ran the court.He made .the lawyers “stand about,” which pleases the average,layman mightily.Barring the fact that he slipped away from ‘town at the end of the first week,when another week’s work was due,The Landmark is pleased to commend his honor.He runs his court and takes no back talk, yhich is the correct thing ror a judge todo.Moreover,-we may whisper in: passingto the winners of silk hose at the society functions,that Judge Cooke will,barring death and acci- dents,preside at the next term of Tre- dell court.In view of this it might be just as well for the society people who play for prizes to “move back-a piece from the road.” Thos,J.Pénce ,of Nerth Caro- ling,long Prominent as a Washing- ton,’newspapen conreéspondient,has been designated.ag assistant to Chairman,MCComps,of the Demio- ocratic:national commilttee..Mr.Pencs managed the publicity end of Gov.

They wanted a larger station,built of better material,a train shed and a cement walk;and the matter has ‘hung fire since.:A’few days,ago ‘Southern-officials again’consulted the Concord folks...and explained,from .their viewpoint ‘how the station they. proposed to.build’would be all-suffi- .eient for Concord.In the end the *Southern will have its way;with pos-sibly minor concesstons.It is rare »that the railroads,.can build a station »built.To he frank,ordinarily.they can't afford to,But they usually -hold it down to the smallest possible eost,regardless:of the future...‘The Statesville.station,for instance,is reasonably sufficient now but in a few years will be too small,and it should have been heated by a furnace.But the folks who succeed in worrying a ‘=new station out of the Southern should be thankful if they get something better than,they had.'They‘can never get what they want. ° The Observer thinks ‘the recent good roads convention ‘in Charlotte went a little too far in asking the State to appropriate.a million a year for 20 years to build good roads,Of“ s } course the convention did not expect: the appropriation to be made.It was argued that a large amount must be asked.for.to.get anything.‘That isoneViewpoint.Another.is that the .demand is so far beyond:he limit that it may operate against“something practical being done;it will be an ex- ecuse for those who oppose any step in.that ditection..The.Landmark doesn’t have to explain that it is an enthesiastic champion of good roads; it thinks it has demonstrated that fact.But,while it trusts it is free from narrowness,it confesses it does not enthuse over the proposition to put the burden on the State to do something for the counties that are doing nothing for themselves.It is all right for the State to encourage good road building;1t should do so within reasonable and safe bounds and in justice to all concerned.But before the State gives aid to any county the people of that county should show a willingness #o help themselves.In contending that State convicts should not be used to build railroads,Solici- tor Hammer,in the good roads con- vention,charged that there is:favor- itism ih the distribution of convicts for this purpose.Suppose the.Stateshouldputitsconvicts‘to building good roads.There would be a clamor for them from all over the State and such charges of favoritism as have never been heard.would be made.The State can do much to aid and encour- age road building and can help coun- ties to simplify the problem.But this should be done at the least possible cost to the State and the burden should be put on the counties. Some Peculiarities of Georgia Law .Brought Out In Grace Trial. Columbia State.:: Peculiarities of Georgia law which have been brought out by the trial of Mrs.Daisy Grace in Atlanta are mys- teries to the laymen of other States and anomalies to lawyers._Mrs.Gface was allowed to make astatementtothejury,though not un- der oath.While she was making this statement,her counsel could not ask her any questions.nor —could prosecution afterward cross -.ex- amine her.In most States,whentkedefendantinacriminalcasechoos- es to testify—in no State can the de-fendant be made to testify—he is heldtowaivehisconstitutionaiexemption .and can be cross-examined like any other witness.Not so in Georgia. There the unsworn statement,without any questions from either side,is allthatisallowed.; The other peculiarity is that Grace, though present in court,was not.al- lowed to testify against his wife.This peculiarity was not.brought to promi- nent notice,even locally in Georgia, before the Grace triat..The old com- mon-law practice is that neither hus- band nor wife can testifY against the ‘other;theoretically they are_one per-son.The Georgia statute modifies this practice,so as to allow the wife to testify against the husband,in cases of violence to her person,or the_abandonment of her and her child.But that is as far as tne modificationextends.The husband is left withoutthewightoftestifyingagainstthe |’ wife,in case of violence alleged toLalabeemcommittedupon“him by It is likely that the Gface case will lead to changes in the Georgia lawwhichwillplacehusbandandwifeonsamefootingbeforethecriminalcourts. *Serene Rewan commissioners have decidedto.build the new court house ofgraniteinstead-of brick.The cost,byusinggramite,will be $111,160. ee Bay tever and asthma make August amenthofintensesufferingtomanypeo-ple.Foley’s Honey and Tar CompoundWesprompteaseandrelief,and issoothingandhealingtotheinflamedoeeet,Wm.M.Merethew,N.Séars.Me,,says:‘A few doses of Foley’s|ABoneyandTarCompeiadrelievedmeOf.a severe attack of asthma and esethan.a bottie caused a complete cure."Refwpe substitutes.Statesville Drug Co. dpe eens rt bate suede:bi 4 - |pdsed to be at the to’suit the’people for whom,it:isy A red place in the day’s proceedings,too.| ‘}one’of Andrew Jackson.

The Second Day of the National Pro- gressive Conventidh.Given Over tu the Colonel.‘i The second day of the nationai-Pro- gressive convention was Roosevelt day.The delegates cheered Colonel Roosevelt for more than an hour when he appeared suddenly and rather dra- matically upon the platform of the Coliseum.The rafters fairly rang with the noise of the demonstratiocr.. While awaiting the colonei’s arrival most of the delegates had joined in animpromptusongthattheywou'd fol- low him wherever he should choosetolead.This was the spirit of the reception accorded the former Presi- dent when he-reached the conventionhallanditwasthespiritwithwhich his advanced ideas of progressiveness were received as fast as they were uttered.The session,however,was not without its thrill.A photographic flashlight.explosion set fire to one of the smoke retaining bags hung among the decorations above the crowded balcony,and for a time there was nervousness which it was feared might lead to a panic. Temporary Chairman Beveridge and Colonel Roosevelt called to ev- erybody to remain quiet and thebandstartedtoplay.as two’firemen climbed up into the steel girders of the roof,snatching the burriing bag back from its place before the flames reached the inflammable decorati>:s running along the entire gallery,and extinguished the fire.This act was followed by a distinct relief and a round of cheers. The doors of the convention hallhadbeenthrownopentothepublic after Colonel Roosevelt reached the Coliseum and the big auditoriim held one of its greatest crowds.The rush for places was so great that the fire marshal soon ordered the doors closed aggin.‘There were thrills too,when Col- onel Roosevelt was interrupted several times with questions.The same spec- gallery,who fired the quer,at former Senator Beveridge, deffanded to know of the colonel, “what about the liquor traffic?”Thequerycameatthecloseofthe lengthy explanation of the speaker’s attitude on the negro question and Mr..Roosevelt received it with dis-tinct impatience.:. As the delegates were yélling “shutup”and “put him out”Colonel Roosevelt waved kis hand toward the man and said: “Oh,go to a primary school, something.”:When the colonel concluded his.speech the convention adopted the re-port of the committee on credentialsandrulesandadjourneduntilWed- nesday.INCIDENTS OF CONVENTION.

The strange thing.about the ‘whole business is that the railroad compa- nies.can’t,or won't,see the point. .The delegates to the Roosevelt con- vention in *Chicago were-seemingly happy.At the opening session they were much given to song.and here is -a stanza from.one of the songs set to the tune of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic:” “The ‘grand old party’is a moulding in thé grave,A. --It.came and saved the nation,but itself it cannot save “It’s Barnes’plaything and its Gug- genheim’s slave, “But we go marching on. “The Bull Moose is coming,can’t you hear his warlike tread? “The elephant and donkey are a- trembling with dread, “Their game is up,we’ve got ’em lick- ed,they know that-they—are-+- dead, “As we go marching on.” The local Roosevelt songsters might try their hands on this. The Richmond Times-Dispatch finds that the consumption of tce cream had increased from about 55,000,000 gallons in 1906 to 120,000,000 gallons in 1911,an average of about five quarts annually for every man,woman and child in the country,,Just how the Times-Dispatch,or anypody,can estimate even approximately,the quantity of ice cream consumed The Landmark doesn’t know,but it is not surprising to learn that the consump- tion is on the increase.The number ‘of “ice cream suppers”—we wish they wouldn’t calk them “ice cream sup- pers;the words are not ices and are somewhat misieading—as were saying,the number of “ice cream suppers”given in Statesville and Iredell for all sorts of good and worthy purposes accounts for no small share of the increased consumption. It is proper and right to open a con- yention or any pubic assemblage with prayer,provided you can sincerely ask God’s blessing on the work to be done; and provided further that the subse- quent proceedings do not make the prayer a mockery.But the frivolity which often accompanies the prayers at political conventions,the lack of serious and respectful attitude when .the Throne of Grace is addressed and the subsequent conduct.of those on whose work God’s blessing is.invoked, .@auses one to feel that prayers on such oteasions are a mockery.This can often be said of the opening pray- ers at the daily sessions of Congress and this mockery seems to have reach- ed its climax in the Roosevelt conven- tion in Chicago.The Associated Press report of the first day’s ‘proceedings says:that the prayer of Mr,Dorn- blazer was frequently interrupted by cries of ‘“‘amen!”That is a gogd old Methodist custom and-when the word is uttered reverently during a prayer it is right and proper.But when Mr. Dornblazer had been praying for more than 15 minutes,the report ‘con- tinues,.“the delegates interrupted ith applause and shouts of amen.” §is evident that the delegates treat- ed the minister’s prayer just as they would a political speech-It would, hardly seem to be the proper thing to-applaud a prayer,no matter how much one may approve the sentiments expressed.If Rev.Mr.Dornblazer prayed for more.than 15 minutes he deseryed“to he choked off,but proper respect fer-the-Almighty,if hot for the man engaged in prayer,would have suggested that the delegates treat the occasion with due respect; ublicaddressesbetterledvethemoffthe rogramme.The-dlelegates at theoxeveltconventionarenotthednly sinners in this matter,put their friv-olity,seems to have been a little more,“3 nerapretaa May and about 400 persons It is.‘said that proprietors of. mountain summer resorts ebmplain that business this summer is not so good as last season..Not surprising.

The Icé Cream Increase. Richmond Times-Dispatch. As a nation,-we are eating more ice| cream every day.Tne growth of-the| ice cream industry in the United |, States is one.of the miost extraordi-| nary phases of industrial expansion.| It is on a continuous.boom that ap-|parently will never collapse. In 1906.the consumption cream in the United States was about| 55,000,000 gallons.In 1910 it had in-|creased to 100,000,000 gallons.In 1911| \the consumptibn was 120,000,000 gal-!lons.That averages about five quarts annually for every man,woman and| child in the country.Many millions| do not or cannot eat Ice cream,and so a large part of the population must exceed the five-quart limit.No statistics are available on the point, but it is generally believed that young girls eat most and that young fel- lows buy most. One million eight hundred ‘thousandtonsoficearerequiredtofreezethe annual ice cream output,and not less than 480,000 tons of salt.The wear of spoons,the breakage of saucers and other items have not been reduced tostatistics.Despite the.fact that the most-deli- cious ice ¢ream is on the market to- day in more than fifty-seven varieties and that it is cheaper and more gen- erally consumed than ever before,the passing of the old-fashioned boiled custard ice cream is a deplorable inci- dent of ice cream progress.It was a golden delight of which no one ever had enough,.and when it used to ap-pear on the Sunday dinner table, flanked by a large Slice of old-time chocolate cake,no one longed for the|ambrosia of the gods. Atrocities of Japahese On Koreans.} Washington Post. The circumstantial;,report from Seoul telling of the torture of Koreans by Japanese officers,in the effort to extort from them confessions ‘im-| plicating American missionaries in a plot to assassinate Count.Terauchi, throws a new.and pitiless light on Japanese methods.Evidently —the Japanese in Korea are guilty of the ruthlessness and barbarity so often charged against them by the Koreans, and as frequently denied.The latestreportscomesodirectly,and from such good authority,that no mere denial will serve to remove the im-pression they have made.No move anpears to have been made against he American missionaries themselves, and therefore the revelations from Seoul do not call for any action on the part of the Unrtted States.It may be taken for granted,however, that the Department of State is watching this affair with peculiar in- terest,and will make itself acquaint-ed with all the details.he chatge that American bishops ana heads of colleges are implicated in a conspiracy to murder the head of the Korean government is full of ugly possibili- ties.No one in this country will be- lieve such a monstrous charge for a moment;but the Japanese in Korea seem to believe it,and they have re- sorted to inhuman means to prove itbythetorture,;'of Korean witnesses,The trial of these navives is likely toleavesuchanaftermathofsuspicionandill-will as to destroy the useful- ness of the American missionaries af4 fected.As soon as tne Japanese gov- ernment has investigated sthis’re- markable affair and located the rey sponsibility for it no doubt most | rigorous punishment will be mote out to =the offending officers.an ample apology tendered to the Amer- icans.Certainly such action will.beexpectedbytheUnitedStates, —— Robert,W.W.Herter,pawrenceviite,Mo., who had,been bothered “with kidney trou-bie tor two Vears.84S:“1 tried threedifierentkindsJfitaneypillsoutwithnorelief.My neighbor told me to use of them and got .a permanent cure. j\IrheDriethem.to everybody."gtatea-ville Drug Co.; |ample just what I |the,American people are good peo- iIn.Republic jsentation of colored |exists jhave been to repeat the thave helped me. +Florida and |just as necessary for-one-sex—as-ati-other”brought:a great chger from the delegates;particularly?the ladies.

I regret to say that every man who has ever been to a national convention knows that the colored delegates to those conventions were of a character not only reflecting discredit on the Re- publican party but upon their own race.” Colonel Roosevelt said that the Northern negro delegates were sent to.the convention “because they had- won the respect of their communi- ties.”He said that it was useless-to try to force the Southern States to recognize the negro.. “Let us take the same attitude to- ward the negro in the South that we do in the ly.-we will have the cotored man rec- ognized in the South as ne is in the North.We are standing against the ee of the Republicans—we are veginning,where all charity must be- gin—at home. “We are setting a standard for the Southefn States to-which we can hope that our colored brethren will themselves come up,a standard that today in West Virginia and Maryland.The easy thing for me to have done in this matter if I had only my own political profit in mind,would blunders .of party.This:might But I would havebeeninsincereandIwouldhavebeen accepting the very thing that wrought disaster in the Republican party.” W.Frank Knox of Michigan took the platform and as chairman pre- sented the report of the credentials committee.,The report barred every negro delegate who had contested a séat.in the.convention.-In addition it threw out a white delegation from four contestants fromthefirstand“second Ohio.districts, who were charged py .their oppon- ents with representing the Cox-Taft Republican machine in the city of Cincinnati. The report embraced in its discus- sion of the Mississippi contests a declaration that the use of the word “white”in the call issued for a lily white State convention by B.F.

Officer Ward.took him.to jail while Messrs.Gilbert and Fulp made furth- er investigations as to the killing and summoned Coroner W.A.Moose. The news of the murder spread rap- idly and within a short time a large crowd had gathered.Coronér Moose selected a’jury composed of Messgs. W.L.Harbin,Jas.G.Page,W.M. Barringer,R.F.Cashion,J.H.West and R.8S.Sherrill,but the inquest was deferred until Sunday morning at 8o'clock.The jury fougd that.Houpe came to his death from the effects of a pistol shot wound ‘inflicted’by Mor- rison.A post mortem examination by Dr..A.Campbell revealed that the bul- let had passed through the heart and lodged in the back.

The Statesville man hadn't bought whiskey but he got a package of cement from Jacksonville,Fla., weight seven pounds.and .express charges 60 cents.The expressman told him that a’‘package of whiskey from Jacksonville,weighing twelve .pounds,would cost only 45 cents. Now:doesn’t that jar you?or rath-er doesn’t it jar the non-drinking por-tion of the,population?Those whohavetobuyalittle“speerits”for the stomach’s sake will of course be pleas-ed with the low express charges on ‘booze;but those who get other ship- ments by express and pay the higher rates will of course conclude that the ‘express company is in league with the whiskey intestest,which is another count in the bill of indictment against this soulless’corporation.

TARIFF A SYSTEM OF FAVORS.| “See how it makes business out of| the tariff question.The,tariff ques-| tion,as dealt with in our time at any | rate,has not been business.It has|been politics.Tariff schedules havebeenmadeupforthepurposeof | keeping as large a number.as possible | of the rich and influential manufac-| turers of the country m a good humor with the Republican party,which-de-| sired their constant financial support.| The tariff has become a system of fa-| vors,which the phraseology of the | schedule was often deliberately con- trived to conceal.It becomes a mat-| ter of business,of legitimate business,| only when the partnership and under- standing it represents is between the|leaders of Congress and the whole} people of the United States instead of betwe@n the leaders of Congress ‘andsmallgroupsof:manufactures de- manding special recognition and con- sideration.That is why the generat idea of representative governmentbe- comes a necessary part of the tariff question.f iv “Who,when you come down to the| hard facts of the matter,have been| represented in recent years,wnen our tariff schedules were being discussed and determined,not on the floor of Congress,for that is not.where theyhavebeendetermined,but in the com- mittee rooms and conferences?Thatistheheart’of the whole affair.Will you,can you,bring the whole people into the partnership or not?.No oneis:discontented with representative government;it falls under question only when.it ceases to be representa- tive.It is at bottom a question of good faith and morals. “How does the present tariff look in the light of it?I say nothing for the moment about the policy of protectionconceivedandcarriedoutasadisin- terested statesman might conceive it. Our ownclear,conviction as Demo- crats is that in the last analysis theonlysafeandlegitimateobjectoftariffduties,as of taxes of every oth- er kind,is to raise revenue for the support af the government,but thatisnotmypresentpoint.We denouncethePayne-Aldrich tariff act as themostconspicuousexampleeverafford- ed the country of the special favorsandmonopolisticadvantages’which the leaders of the Republican party have so often shown themselves willing to extend to those to whom they-look- ed for campaign contributions. THE ORIGIN OF THE TRUSTS. “Tariff duties,as they have employ- ed them,have not been a means of set- ting up an.équitable system of pro- tection.They have been,on the con- trary,a method of fostering special privilege.They have-made it easy to establish monopoly.in our domestic ‘markets.Trusts have-owed their ori- gin‘and their secure power to them.The economic freedom of our people, our presperity in trade,dur untram- meled energy in manufacture depend upon their reconsideration from.top to bottom in an entirely different:spirit.“We donot ignore the fact that the business of a country -like ours is exceedingly sensitive to changes in legislation of ‘this kind.’It has been built up,however ill-advisedly,upon tariff schedules ygxitten in the way I have indicated,and its fouwnda- tions must not be too radically or too suddenly dsturbed.When we act we should aet with caution and prudence,like men who know what they are about,and not like those in love with a theory.It.is -obviousthatthechangeswemakeshouldbemadeonlyatsucharateandinsuchawayaswillleastinterferewiththenormalandhealthfulcourseofcommerceandmanufacture.i“But we shall not on that accountactwithtimidity,as if we did not«know our own minds,for we are certainofourground‘and of our ob:ject.There should be an immediaterevision,and it should be downward,unhesitatingly and steadily down-ward.ue“It should begin with:the sched-ules which haye been most obviouslyusedtokillcompetitionandtoraisepricesin.the United States,arhj-trarily and:without regard to theprices.pertaining elsewhere.in themarketsoftheworld,and it should.before it is finished or intermitted,ibe extended to every item in every|sehedule which affords ally opportu. || [tage to limited groups of beneficia:ries,-or for subsidized -éontrol ofanykind.in the markets or the .en-terprises of the country;until spe-cial favors of évery sort ‘shall have\; 4 \a f i ' |}ies elegantly for farming and has an )Having qualified as executor of the last will and for special advan-{es to notify all’persons having claims against said “or before August 15th,1913,or this notice will be Means baking thatwill “bepure,white.and delicioust...|with the real home-made fla- vor.Don’t buy off-color flour that is chéap only in pricebut.dear in spoiled.‘‘off-col- or”baking.Get the:best:and —the cheapest—ask bynameforCITYFLOUR. -City Flour Milling Co.= FOR SALE.

Carried Setting Hen to the Picnic,. Mooresville Enterprise. One of the good women of Moores- ville called the attention of,the news man to an incident -that was pulled off at this place on picnic day last month.A pair of young courting couples meandered about over the picnic grounds until they were quite tired out,and finding a vacant sur-ry,climbed into the vehitle to rest. Shortly after they had settled on their perch the owner of the vehicle came up and asked the coupte tn the front seat to,move in order that he could get his feed box.-When he placed his hand under the seat to pull the box out,he was startled by a severe prick.in the flesh.He first thought “one of the young men had put up a job on him,but.upon investigationfoundthatoneof-his fine Rhode Is- land Red hens had stolen a nest under the surry seat,and was busily sitting on a nest full of eggs.She had come probably eight miles that:morning, |but was not disturbed in the least by the -music of the merry-go-round or the prattle of the lovesick swain over her nest.The hen was not further disturbed,but was carried back home with~safety,and she now has 17 oftheprettiestbiddiesthatcanbefound following any old hen, Items From Barium Springs.

The’most frequently used treat- |ments for the disease are to wash ithe mouth with either of the follow- ing solutions:one teaspoonful alum to quart of water;one teaspoonful {cteolin to gallon of water;one tea- |spoonful carbolic acid to gallon .ofwater. |Also wash feet and udders of Raleigh, with |samesolution and give one pound of salts in quart of water.This disease is not.contagious and is not consider- jed dangerous if.properly treated. i sineenrenliteeaaponcemtomomeetee| |Durham Woman Robbed of $1,700 in Cash. |Last week robbers entered the home lof Mrs.Hicks,an.old woman who llives in the suburbs of Durham,and |carried out a trunk that contained| $1,700.The trunk.was left in a j}nearby field after it had been relieved lof its contents.

No orphanage ought to be tocated in a city.Can’t train*children there. Ought ta be a farm.in connection with every orphanage.Best way to train boys is following black mule down a row.Boys want to be taught how to farm and do things.Such training has made men who have learned to endure and withstand temptation Above all we must develop ;manhoodandwomanhood.We usedto/think or- phanages should get along in cheap style.Not so now.We know that best things can be had for good prices.Orphanage work is entitled to the bestofeverything.As an investment an orphanage does ten-fold-as much as is done for it.k The gentle influence of orphanage work causes wealthy and business men to stop and think and brings al!to aformoffellowship.In this commer- cial age of hustle and bustie we are too apt to forget work like this.An orphanage is the only institation intheworldthathaspureahdabsélutedemocracy.There are classes in Church and gociety but all have equal ‘chances in ‘an.orphanage.He saidthatintheThomasville‘orphanage there were children of Various ances- try but that 75 per cent.-of them weresenttherebyliquor.Denominational. ism,sectionalism,factions,etc.,never entet an orphanage.All are unitedanditmakesbrothersofailLetus differ in other things if we must bul let us unite in orphange work.Such institutions are our peacemakers andwillbringdifferentviewsintohar-mony., Boy Struck By a Spent Ball.

The plant food in the black land of Texas)is:gradually beimg consumed and is not being replenished by the cotton growers.We must ‘feed our land to get larger crops per acre and we can’t cut down fertilizer until the land is built up in ‘some other way. The best way is by the use of greenmanure,such as pea vines,clover,etc. When you sell a ton of:peavine or clover hay.you are setling something that is worth more to your land than the fertilizer that can.be vougnt with the money secured for the hay. Dr.Kilgore was followed by Mr.J. L.Burgess,State agronomist,who gave much valuable information on soil improvement,discussing princi- pally the value of organic matter in the soil..He repudiated the idea that the use of stable manure is the only way to build up our soils and showed that the manure from all the live stock in the United States would not prove.sufficient to bring cultivated lands of North Carolina to their prop- er state of fertilization.The use ofgreenmanurecropsistheonly.solu-tion of the problem.Stable manure is all right.and its judicious use is profitable,but it is impossible for us to bring up all our land with it,so green manure must be used.Organicmatterinthesoiliswhatisneeded. The value of pea vines,wheat straw, green corn,clover,rye,oak leaves, etc.,as fertilizer was compared with stable manure and it was shown that green manuring is cheapest and most productive,Green manure ‘crops should be turned under when at the blooming stage.but should,never,be turned under without first being drag- ged down and cut-with a dise harrow.Soured land is the result of turn- ing under heavy green crops without cutting them up so as to get them thoroughly mixed with the.soil.: In the afternoon Mr.W.J.Shu- ford,the Catawba county creamery man,discussed the co-operative creamery,telling of its great advan- tages to the farmers and what it means to the community.Creameries can be successfully operated,as has been demonstrated by the Catawba folks.;Mr.C.B.Willianis,assIstakt direc- tor ofexperimental stations,discuss- ed seed improvement and selection. Good seed are as essential as good land and.fertilizer if one is to suc- ceed as a farmer,and the seed shouldbeselectedinthefield.

THE CASE OF NOLAND... The case of James Noland,the reg- §ster of deeds of Haywood county, “who:shot,and killed himself,it «is supposed:because of disappointment on’account of failure to secure a re- nomination for the office he had held six years,-is as unusual one as well’ as asad one.There weré three can- didates in the primary and none re- ceived a majority.Noland was sec- ond ‘in the’'race,his strongest com- petitor being only 12 votes ahead.If Noland had waited for the second pri-. mary he might haye.won.But it “is said the man was so embittered bythefaithlessriessoffriends,whose support he had expected but who dis-| appointed him,that he became:de- spondent when he found he-had failed to win in,the first race;and.suicide was the result.It is.strange thata dmaniwho.had held publi office even for a short*time did ‘not realize,how. very undependable are many of the .Promises made a’candidate;that many who profess undying allegiante-fail at :the critical moment;that the popu- “-“who-is-not-a~sufficientjudge—of-hu-4 lace is fickle;that many who “Eat my bread and drink my.teaThengoaroundtownandtalkaboutmee: The man who does not know:these things and is not prepared for them; man nature to separate the false from’ ‘the true,would do well,for.his own peace of mind and comfort,to stay out of politics, Another statement about Noland is |that he had anj estate of over $30,000, ‘was a young man held in high esteem and hada “wife and seven children.It is again strange that one so well fixed with this world’s goods,blessed,with a family and the esteem of neighbors and.friends,should —have-allowed himself to be concerned about a small office...Somebody has to hold the of- fices and it is to the interest of the electorate and jthe public to secure the services of the best men.But it has long been the opinion of The Land- mark that officeholding as a business is a mighty poor business. Thé Spartanburg,S.C.,papers charge that when Blease and Jones, the South Carolina gubernatorial “candidates,met in joint debate in Spartanburg the other day that resi- dents of Polk county,N.C.,joined the throng,whooped for Blease and voted 'for him in the hand primary which Blease is accustomed to put on at all his meetings.This is a serious re- ‘flection on North Carolina and The Landmark prefers to believe it is a slander.It would be bad enough for North Carolinians to be caught at a South Carolina political gathering, but that they whooped for Blease and voted for him in the hand primary is beyond the limit.If/the ‘charge proves to be true steps should be taken to repudiate these North Caro- linians and they should be driven into South Carolina and forced to live there,which would be about as great a punishment as one could de- vise,at this time.:—_—_—_C_ Mr.Clint N..Brown,who whentie! with the newspaper business in Salis- bury for a long time,has moved to his farm near that city,on which he has built-a bungalow,and will watch the grass and vegetables and corn and things grow,hear the cows low,the chickens crow,the while he revels in bucolic existence.He doesnt need to give a hang whether the paper ever gets out,or whether the things in it when it does get out are right or wrong,provoke commendation or cussing.Nor does he'need to lose sleep over the state of the cash box on Saturdays,so long as there is sun- shine and rain and seed time and har- vest,which the Lord God has said Shall not fail.Happy Brown!Blessed, thrice blessed! ————— Being told that he had taken ‘ma- _terial from the Democrats for his ~“Progressive party platform,Col.

It should be sald that the grand juny,which under Judge Cooke’s charge at the recent term of.court, took note*wf these practices,had no desire to:indict anybody,to emberrass anybody or to make a sensation.They did not believe that.the ladiés who engage in this practice intended any wrong.But under tne cnarge of the court they felt they couid not de true to.their oaths and could not indict crap players and other gamblers with- out at-least calling attention to what they wefe advised was gambling,9r *near gambling,in higher circtes. No matter what one’s individual opinion may be,and even if the con- Science is’void of offence,the good citizen,in whatever walk oflife,-will respect the law and.conform to its requirements.More is expected,and properly,of the educated and refined than of the ignorant and lowly.The former should set an example of obedience;should avoid even’the ap: pearance of evil.If they’disregard the law or the requirements of its authorized «©representatives,social standing and influence may save from punishment so far as the law is ‘con- cerned,but the influence of the exam- ple will encourage others to:iawless- ness for which they will be responsi- ble;and the influence of the example may come home to them in a ‘way they do npt expect.It is contended by some that if.a boy is allowed to play cards in,his own home he is less likely to go elsewhere to play and thus may be saved from the danger of gambling. The same argument is sometimes used in favor of giving.a boy a drink of liquor in the home and warning him of its danger,las a safeguard against the drink evil.This may work in a few cases,but it is a fact that the. ~more one becomes accustomed to any- .‘thing the less he thinks of any dan- fer involved.The boy ,who sees games played for prizes may not dis- criminate between this and playing cards for money or any other sort of gambling.Certainly if-those whom he respects indulge in the former he is more likely to persuade himself the latter isn’t so bad. It isn’t The Landmark's business to preach,nor does it essay to act»as'guardian of the morals of the com- munity.But these remarks are sub~- mitted as The Landmark’s view on passing events. —_———<—<———_— The death.of Adjutant General Leinster is most distressing.In thevigorofyoungmanhood,with appar-ently a long lease on life,entered up-on a prominent and successful career,he is suddenly stricken and is calledtojoinhisfriendandpredecessor, Gen.Armfield,on the other shore.As-a boy in Statesville he was a manlylittlefellow,one who would attract attention by his manly,courteous bearing.He grew to manly manhood.It was a great compliment to his worththathewasappointedatsoearlyanagetotheimportantofficeofad-jutant ‘general to succeed the first mil-itary.man in the State,but he madegoadandfilledtheofficewithcredittohimselfandtheState.It is a sadpassing.May the Great Comfortercomfortthosenearanddeartohim-who sit in the shadow of a great sor-row.sinentsimaansteetietnasiniiani .Some’of the unregenerate are in-timating,that the rise in prices madebytheCharlottedoctorsisonaccountofthepassingof.the ‘“serip”busi-ness.The Charlotte,aldermen haveabolisheddrugstore-liquor and the. prescription business profitable in Charlotte. is no longer.

Charlotte Observer.Wel -It is quite probable-that at the con-vention of the national Populist par-ty,in ‘St.Louis this week,the for- mal disbandment of that organization will take place..The assets of the party,consisting of its remnant of voters,will be turned over to Colone Roosevelt.There may.be some whowillprefertogotoTaft,while some may elect to vote for Wilson,but this division.of the vote is of no conse- quence.The fact of note is the offi- cial death of the Populist party.It will pass into.history’and we willknowofaPopulistcandidateforPresidentnomore. The Populist party made a brave show in 1892,when it gave its nom-. inee for President,James B.Weaver, a-popular vote of 1,041,028,with 22votesinthecollege.In 1896 the Populists ran a joint ticket with the Democrats,William J.Bryan being the nominee for President.Arthur Sewall was the.Democratic nominee for Vice President and Thomas E.Watson the Populist :nominee forthatoffice.The popular vote forPresidentin.this election was 6,502,-925.The Democrats were accorded149electoralvotesancthePopulists27.The fusion was of no avail,how-ever,for Willidm McKinley,the Re-publican nominee,polledpopularyotesandwentin with 292votesintheelectoralcollege..The backbone of the Populist partywasbrokenintheelectionof1896.In 1900 it ran no presidential ticket,but in 1904 Watson was nominatedforPresidentandpolled117,183votes.Watson was nominated againin1908,when the Populist voteto29,100.No doubt eventhismembershiphasdwindledsincethenandtherealstrengthofthePopulistpartyisnotmuchinexcessof10,000.

It is reported that the Norfolk and Western road has bought a half inter- est in the Virginia-Carolina,which extends from Abingdon,Va.,to Kon- narock,Va.,a distance of 51 miles.

At Elmwood,seven:miles east of 'Statesville,:Wednesday afternoon. about 6o’clock,the second sectidn of: ©ast-bound freight No.74 ran.into three.section cars.Three."colored mien,employes of the section force, were killed and three desperatelyin- _jured..One of the injured died in ‘Salisbury Wednesday night,where he -was taken for treatment...' The dead are: HENRY PATTERSON, ‘wood.Bs SID.BRADSHAW,.of the Amity section,near Elmwood. ‘ROBERT YOUNT,of Catawba county. ESPY GILLESPIE,of Amity sec- tion,who-died in Salisbury Wednes- day:night.-rae i The injured: CLARENCE tawba.‘ ROBT.WILSON,of Claremont. The freight ran into the section ears during a heavy rain ‘and wind- storm.The roar of the storm and the darkness from the ‘storm clouds prevented either the section force or the engineer of the freight seeing the danger until it was too tate. The section cars were coming into Elmwood from the east.The first car was in-charge of Section Foreman Lippard and the second and third were in charge of Mr.Shull.‘They.com- posed an extra force that was assist- ing the ‘regular section force,under Mr.Lippard,on some work east of Elmwood.The extra"force was camp- ed in shanty cars at Elmwood.When the storm came onthe:section.men, 20 or more all told,were loaded on the three crank cars and made for the Elmwood station,Just east of the station Mr.Lippard,on the first car, saw the freight,when it was almost on him:He stood up and shouted to the men on the rear cars,but it is supposed that in the noise of the storm they did not hear his warning. Mr.Lippard and his men.jumped for safety.As Mr.Lippard jumped his foot slipped and he’fell with his limbs across the rafls.He managed topuli himself off the track,however, Mr. Lippard was slightly hurt by_the fall but was able for duty yesterday.None of the.men on his car were hurt.On the second car,on which Foreman Shull rode,only one man was a victim. of,Elm- Claremont, CONNELLY,of Ca- “One of the men killed or injured was on this car but it is not positively known which one.All the others kill- ed or injured were on the third car. All the section cars were badly wrecked.but not enefrely.demolished. Outside of those named no one re- ceived any injuries of consequence. The freight train was stopped as soon as possible.The.three injured men were placed on it and sent.to Salisbury for treatment,where Espy Gillespie succumbed to his injuries Wednesday night.: The bodies of the dead men were laid in Elmwood station and later put on a freight train and brought to Statesville,reaching here about 10 o'clock Wednesday night.The bodics were prepared for burial at an under+ taking establishment and yesterdaysenttothehomesof:their families for burial.:i .Whether any special blame attaches'to any of’the railroad men on ac- count of the accident is not positively spown.It is said that the freight id not blow after it blew for the sta- tion,which was so far west of thestationthatthesectionmen,coming in from the east in the blinding storm, did not hear the signal. ‘Church.News.

While The Landmark is not overjoy- ed at the prospect of the short-haired sisters becoming too ¢onspicuous in *the campaign,in many States of the West the women have votes,and these votes are just as desirable as the votes of the men—more desirable than the votes of some men.Wherefore if the sisters,where they have votes,can be prevailed upon to give those votes to Wilson,we shall be glad;and where they have no votes if they can use theit influence’to make the men. vote for Wilson,‘we shall be glad.

The following comes,from Wash- ington:’ Tobacco planters throfighout the United States should be making largerrofitsthantheydo,according to epartment of Agriculture officials who have been studying the question.In spite of the fact that they _re- ceive about $100,000,000/a year fortheiraveragecropof:1,000,000,000pounds,their net profits should be more,say the officials. Improper culturay methods keep the product down to one-third of what it should be,they declare.In the Connecticut valley,where the soils are maintained in’a high state of fertility,yields of 2,000 pounds and more to the acre are common,it is pointed out,while on similar soils in many of the manufacturing and ex- port districts the average yield is scarcely one-third of this.The one- crop system,instead of rotation,is one of the improper cultural.meth- ods,it is said,which 1s responsible for this condition.»The use of unddapted varieties.or strains of tobacco,damage by insects and,diseases and imperfect knowl- edge of the principles that apply to the processes of curing,fermenting and handling the leaf,dre given asothercausesofsmallnetprofitsto the farmer.The department has been aiming during the past~few.years,it is said,to introduce improved meth- ods of planting and culture. All of which is doubtless:correct, but the farmers are most interested in how to obtain a fair and just price for the weed after they have grown it.So long as a combine controls the market and fixes.the price,regardless of supply or quality,the farmers will not obtain,as a rule,what their to- bacco is worth,no matter how much “cultural methods”are improved. In a number of cities in this State they have had what they called “whirlwind campaigns™to raise.mon- ey to put up Y.M.C.A.buildings, subscribers being allowed time to pay subscriptions.Whenever a subscription list is circulated,no matter for what purpose,so‘long as cash ‘on the spot is not required there will be found those who wil put’down their names and. then’never pay the amount subscrib- ed.Why people dothat.is hard to understand,for they deceive those who have the list and advertise them- selves unfavorably,but the class is: large nevertheless.So in these Y.M. C.whirlwind campaigns,under.the stress of the enthusiasm.and excite- ment,a good many people made a written’pledge to pay:who failed to come across.The News says 75 to 100 failed to pay in Greensboro and suit will be brought for collection. Judgment was taken against one de- linquent for $25 and he appealed.The subscriber refused’to pay on the ground that he was deceived.He said he was told the’Y.M.C.Av was a Christian organization but he “had |found that’it was not,Christian,forjitoperatedpooland/billiard tables.|B urthermore the subscriber was:ag-|@rieved that the building wasnot:lo-|cated on a more public street.You've|Known people who put their names on’subscription’papers.and then backedoff-on some such excuse as that.It’sgoodmédicineforsuchfolkswhantheTawstepsinandcompelsthemtocashup.} If the Republican ‘leaders keev on |’ is'| MATTERS OF NEWS.

Sixth Annual Gathering of thé Trout-man Connection. day for the Troutmans ‘and-theiffriendswhogatheredat.the ‘Trout-man Graveyard school house to cele- brate the sixth annual reunion of the Troutman family and to attend the third annual meeting of the Troutman Historical Association.The day.was an ideal one for such an occasion,as there were just clouds enough to on- scure the eats,and lessen,the heat of the August sun,.There was 4 large crowd in;attendance,the larye school room being filled so.that .a good many remained outside.-_Everyone present seemed to fave a jolly good time and.went away.feel- ing that’it.was good .to’have’beenthere.We were glad to see among those present the familiar faces of James:Scroggs,Milas .Holtshouser, Daniel Clodfelter,of «Troutman and vicinity;Mrs.‘Frank Johnson,vf Mooresville;and Robt.Li.Troutman,of our home.community;whe is the old- est Troutman of the name;so.far as we know,being past’84 years of age. These all seemed to enjoy the day as well or ‘better than the:most .of the younger ones:and we hope,that they will all.be with us to enjoy many.mdré of thesé happy.reunions,as it is the only time that,we can all come together and spend the whole day reviewing.the past and trying to:in- spire in the hearts of the younger generation a noble aspiration to at- tain unto greater and better things in the future..tag The exercises-f the day were open- ed with that good old hymn,“All Hail the Powerof.JeSus’Name,’followed.|‘ by the reading of the 71st Psalm and prayer by Rev.W.A.Lutz,of States- ville,followed by the hymn,“How Firm a Foundation,ye Saints of theLord.”; After a short business meeting of the Troutman Historical Association the following programme was a song,address’of welcome by M Lloyd Trout- man,hymn,“Onward,Christian Sol- diers,”a brief sketch of .the firstTroutmanfamilyand.the heritage that is-ours,by M.F.Troutman.A hymn was sung and Rev.W.A.Lutz spoke on ‘The Duty of the.Troutman Family to their Posterity.”The dox- ology and benediction was followedby_dinner.:Batu:. The address of the day by Rev.Mr. Lutz was timely and full of good ad- vice and admonition to parents in re- gard to training up their children in the nurture and admonition of the| Lord.He showed how necessary itisforparentstoliveconsistentChris- tian lives before their children if they would commend them after them as servants of the living God.He al- so showed that it is the duty of every parent to study the talents of his children and help the children to im- prove and properly use the talents that God has bestowed upon them. Mr.Lutz and his wife are always welcome visitors to our reunion and we hope they canmzbe with us oftentocheerusontheseoccasionsand encourage us in trying to hold up the character of the Troutman family. The dinner,which seemed to be en- joyed by all,was spread on a table 70 feet long,that had been.arranged} the day previous in the grove by the school house.We wish to thank the good ladies for preparing such a lavish feast and we wish to say that again next year. The afternoon was spent in a so- cial way and in songs of praise.Godd order prevailed throughout the day, many lingering till shades of night were stealing across the valleys. M.F.P.TROUTMAN.

WARD NOT THE ONLY ONE. The Charlotte Observer,..which -fairly industrious in ‘ldm- basting ‘the opposition to Senator Simmons,giving attention to both the Clark and Kitchin ‘forces,had this. to say a few days ago of Mr.H.S. Ward,a lawyer of Washington (N. 'C.),who is campaigning the State for Judge Clark:ae At the Democratic State convention jn-Greensboro,in 1896 or 1898,a gen- .tleman named Ward was bodaciously hustled off the rostrum by Ed.Kees- ler,of Charlotte,and Baldy Boyden, of Salisbury=-It was along about 1 o'clock at night andhe had Daeg realsing..a-t.speech in w was dencunetie rover:Cleveland as the convention could stand.The Ob-.server “just happens”.to remember «the incident,‘and it wonders if the Mr. Ward of the Greensboro conventionandtheMr.Ward who is now stump- ing the State sawing the air against Senator Simmons,is one...and the -same man,and if so,is he as’-good a Democrat now as he was then? As “the Greensboro News has pointed out,the story is substantially correct.Mr.Ward was not.“boda- cially”(that is the correct word,not “bodaciously”),hustled off the plat- form by anybody,but the outburst of indignaton was so strong that he was forced to desist.The incident,occur- red at the first State convention held in Greensboro,in 1902.The Cleve- Jand element in the party had gotten back a sufficient amount of nerve,af- ter the upheaval of 1896,to orfer ob- jection to the endorsement of Bryan, which was regularly brought forward at every State convention in those days.Mr..Ward was speaking-in fa- vor of the endorsement when he re- ferred to Grover Cleverand as an “arch traitor.”Whereupon Mr.Baldy Boy- den,of Salisbury,who is something of an artist in the use of strong Jan- guage if the occasion warrants,de- manded to know by what right Ward insulted gentlemen in the convention. Mr.Boyden passed up some more of the same kind,interspersed with trimmings.Having broken the ice,Mr. Boyden received such aid that Mr. Ward decided it was.expedient not to ‘try to go.on.; .The Landmark thought then that _Mr.Ward got what he deserved and it thinks so now.But fairness ‘impels us to say that Mr.Ward could have offered as an excuse that he was fol- lowing distinguished ‘precedent.In the Democratic State convention of 1896, at Raleigh,while Mr..Cleveland was still President,he was vigorously as-sailed by a number of speakers andeneofhismostvigorous.assailants was Mr.Furnifold M.Simmons,whoatthetimeheldCleveland’s commis: sion as collector of internal revenuefortheRaleighdistrict.Some of theClevelanditesinthatconventionwereindignantandespeciallyindignantthatMr..Simmons snould,assail thePresidentwhileholdinghiscommis-sion.But the Clevelandites werenotstrongenoughthentoofferobjec-‘tion and they kept silent.It was thepopularthingthento“cuss”.Cleve-Jand and Mr.Simmons joined in.ThetroublewithMr.Ward was that hedidnotrealizethatitwasnotquiteS0popularto“cuss”Cleveland in1902asitwasin1896;and as theClevelanditeshadinsomemeasurerecoveredtheirnervein1902.Mr.Ward ran up against a snag.Now of course it can be said thatindenouncingClevelandMr.SimmonswasinthesameboatwithGov.Kitch-in and Judge Clark,who werenotedamonghiscritics,True,andthemajorityofthepublicmeninNorthCarolinaatthattime,to theirshamebeitsaid,thought it necessarytoreviletheonlymantheDemocrats‘had been able to érect President inahalfcentury,to:keep in favor.withthePopulists.The Landmark _has'not brought forward this incident toshowthatMr.Simmons was moreguiltythanothersinthatrespect;but@$an ardent Simmons supporter uses__it against the Supporter of anotherSenatorialcandidatethat~he abusé:usedCleveland,and asks if he is "as good aDemocratnow.as he was then,”-it isJustaswelltotellthewholestory. “Some of those,”says thehamHerald, -ernor Wilson are praising Dur-“who were abusing Goy-a few months ago buthimnowcannotunder-Starid why Mr,Kitchin is favorable toTackCraig’s candidacy for Govern-or”A hit!a palpable hit!~In hisStatesville.speech Gov:Kitchin saidthathedidnotSayin“his .¢ampatgnagainstCraigfouryearsagothatCraigwouldnotmakeagood(or;that he not onlbutdidn’t e x0Vvern-y did not say thatventhinkit.But what-4 oe.chin’s criti-cisms of Craig four years ago,someofthosewhoarenowcriticisingKitchinwereasSevereormorese.vere on Woodrow Wilson a f,:a femonthsagothanKitchinwasonCraigfouryearsago.innemeee The germ theorists will soon be>drinking.——~GréensNewsteeensboro Keep posted,The recommendation_has already been made in:New York. /Billous?Beet‘heavy after dinner?Bit-te?taste?Complexion sallow?.Liver per-Up.Doarm's Regulforbillousattacks-Boe.at auietoren Clark of the Statesville LandmarkreadstheObserverprettyclosely,butheevidentlyskippedanumberorsoduringthepast:few weeks.‘the O ’s tip to Woodrow Wil- son to keep the women off the stump,as a text,and then showing how thewomenhavebrokenitothecampaignanyway,asks the Ohserver .what itisoingtodoaboutit:We have already did.We have opened our arms tothewomaninpolitics-—that is to say, now,figuratively—and bid her fallintolineandtoteabanner.The Landmark seems just now to have waked ‘to the fact that “woman suf-frage is coming on and we had just as well recognize the fact and getreadytoaccept.it.”This the Chroni-ele did three months ago.It went.on record as favoring the’election of‘women tothe school.boards,.some- thing that not anotner paper in theStatehas,had .the nerve!to do.

The average man has nothing what- ever to-do with the styles of women’s wear.They usually wear what they please,no matter what the men inay say,and the man who is wise generally sidesteps any criticism of the manner in which the sisters adorn themselves. But in view of the fact that a forecast of the fall fashions states that the headgear worn by the ladies is to ne much reduced in size’and that false hair is to disappear,the men folks may be permitted’to express gratifi- cation and the hope that the view in public assemblages.will be no longer entirely blocked by big hats.

The Times is in error.It is the Durham Herald,not the Sun,that made that statement.The Herald is not a Democratic paper but is inde- pendent and its editor votes as he pleases.The Times will of course set the matter straight in justice to the Durham Sun.

The Landmark announced recently that in compliance with the request of the national Democratic committee it would receive,acknowledge and for; ward contributionsto the Wilson cam- paign fund:Capt:T..M.C,Davidson, who.is first.in all good works, -brought in the first dollar.Who.will be next?’Now that the ice is broken the contributions should come in.Send |. .“a dollar,or a larger or smaller amount will be acceptable,It 1s.the purpose to.pay ‘the necessary expenses of the “Wilson campaign by ‘appealing.to the masses whose,sole interests is in good government.The interests that expect ‘special favors would cheerfully pay all.expenses if permitted,but ,Gov. Wilson chooses to be under obligations :to nobody except the masses,who ask only for good government.It is stat- ed in another column of The Land- mark today by Mr.Archbold,vice. president of the Stancard Oil Compa- ny,that his company gave $125,000 for Roosevelt's campaign in 1904 on condition that it should be “gratefully received.”That is,the.Standard Oil Company wanted Mr.Roosevelt to feel under obligation to it..The Democrat- ie committee will not receive contri- butions from those who expect special favors and the people should approve this effort to secure clean government by contributing what is necesary ‘to pay the expenses of the campaign. In this connection The Landmark re- ceived some days ago the following letter from Senator Simmons: At the instance of Mr.Robert Ew- ing,the chairman of the committee-to raise funds for the national campaign, I am writing to ask you to open ‘in your paper a subscrption list for the campaign and to urge our Democratic friends to subscribe liberally to it. The Democratic party is asking and expecting aid only from the people whose interest it is seeking to serve, Campaigns cannot be conducted with- out:considerable expense and every member of the party ought to feel sufficient interest in our success,.toaid,even though,it be but a little, according to his means.‘: Governor Wilson,our nominee,is partly a North Carolina man;he was the favorite of our people for thenominationandoursupporttended greatly to bring about his nomination. Now let us-make gooa and each onechipintoraisealiberalcontribution from North Carolina,to meet the necessary expenses of the campaign. We have every reason for believ- ing that he will be the next President,and that der his administration Democratic policies will prevail,and the country will obtain the relief of which we stand ‘in so much need. Very truly yours,i F.M.SIMMONS, At Wilson the other day a man shot his wife to death,firing on her con- tinuously as she fled.He surren- dered to the officers and gave as his excuse that the woman was un- faithful to him.The report says her name had for a year been linked with that of another man,who left town, immediately after the shooting,and as eyidence that public sympathy is‘with the.husband it is stated that there is talk of a public subscription for his defence.-If the woman was guilty she deserves little sympathy,-but.we can’t sympathize with theviewthatwouldmakeaheroormartyroutof.a man whoattacks-a wo- has |" -beggar,ee ‘Infidelity is the alleged cause of the |Phe death of Dr.Lawson Harrill is. the removal of a good citizen and an’ upright man,'He was a gallant Con-| federate soldier,In:civil life he was honored with positions of trust and|was always.faithful to his duty as he saw it.Modest and conservative, he was yet progressive and always took an active interest in the advancement. of.the community and in-the public welfare.A manof convictionhe had the courage of his.conviction,and when he believed ne was right he went his way regardless of opposi- tion.May he rest well.

A Criminal Case That Has Been in -the Courts Three Years and is NotVatSettled. Little Rock,Ark.,Dispatch, Will Bowman,in the SebastiancountyjailatFortSmithundersen-tence to die September 27 for crim-inal assault,has tied up the-Sebastian nd Seott county ¢ourts,the Arkan-sas Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court for three years,and now he is endeavoring to get back into the United States Supreme Court in the hope of getting a.new trial, It is a question of jurisdiction over the old Choctawstrip along the Po- teau and Arkansas fivers,adjoiningFortSmith,and a part of the old Choctaw nation.:This.strip of land{was the “No.Man’s:Land”:.of:.that section and became the rendezvous forthelawless.SN ng On this.strip of ground Bowmanis.alleged ,to ~have assaulted:Ella ‘Banks,aged 12,,0n October.12,1908, Being:arrested and indicted,his at- jtorney set up the plea that the tract was never:properly ceded to the.State of Arkansas,and,being apart of Oklahoma,.the Arkansas 1hadno.jurisdiction..Judge Daniel Hon,of.the Sébastian Circuit Court, sustained the demurrer but he wasreversed’by the Arkansas Supreme Court,and.Bowman was tried and convicted at’Waldron,Scott county, on a change of venue.Again Bowman.went to the Su- -|preme Court of Arkansas,only to have the decision of the lower court affrmed.His attorneys then.secured ‘a writ in Little Rock and the matter was taken to the United States Su- premeé Court-on.the question of the status of the strip. The strip was sold by tne’govern- ment at auction some years ago and when Oklahoma became a State.the tax collectors of Arkansas and Okla- homa each tried to collect taxes from landownérs.As the strip is two miles in length and from 50 to,300 yards in width and adjoins the ¢ity of Fort Smith,it is quite valuable. The Bowman case was grasped by several of the property owners as a method of settling:the question of which State they should pay taxes in. The writ of.error was filed withtheclerkoftheUnitedStatesSu- preme Court,but the property own- ers,as well as the Oklahoma tax.col- lectors,had by that time become con- vinced that Arkansas was the rightful owner and the Bowman case was drop- ped by them They,failed to pay the $25 necessary to have the case docket- ed,and.Attorney General Norwood fil- eda motion to have the case docketed and the writ of error dismissed.Fa- vorable action brought the mandatebacktotheAtotneyGeneralofAr- kansas and Bowman.was’then again in the shadow of the gallows,Gov- ernor Donaghey fixing the date of his execution for the third time. The attorneys for Bowman then went to the United States District Court at Fort Smith and asked forawritofhabeascorpus,alleging that the ground where the crime is alleged to have been committed is not in Ar- kansas.That court overruled the motion and then an gppeal was taken to the United States Rudteme Court. It will take months for the highest court to pass upon the case,so Bow- man is not likely to hang September o727.: Should the case be reversed'itwouldbeimpossibletoconvictBow- man again as all of the witnesses in the case have disappeared and theofficersofthecourthavenotraceofthem.Bowman was in the Arkan-sas penitentiary for almost a yearbutwasnotamodelprisonerthereandtheprisonauthoritiesdeclinedtoholdhimthereanylonger.It is cost-ing Sebastian county 75 cents a daytofeedhim.

The word “bodaciously,’used by us,it says,should be “bodacially.” Who told you so,hey?Look:on page 247 of Webster's New Interna- tional,and take it back.—Charlotte Observer. This is one case in which the dictionary doesn’t count.The word was in‘common use in.Iredell..county. long before it ever found its way into the dictionary and it is “bodacially.” The dictionaries,.as Col.Harris ought to know,take up words like these after they have been coined by the people and sometimes they get them wrong.The definition geven by Web- ster is correct but The Landmark maintains that the word is “bodacial- ly,”not “bodaciously.”We folks in Tredell who made that word know bet- ter than the dictionary people. **8 se !! The Democrats in the House of Congressare to be commended for refusing to vote an extra month’s pay to the employés of Congress.It.has become a custom,for which there is “no good excuse,for the Congress and eur State Legislature to vote an ex- tra allowance to employes at the end of the session.It’s a gift of the peo- ple’s money out of the public treas- ury;a gift which the peopre’s rep- resentatives have no right to make. These employes should be paid a suf- ficient salary for their services and they are usually well paid.In fact there is always more than enough of 'them to do the work.Some of them— .~many of them—draw pay for doing practically nothing.This being so, there is no sort of excuse for giving them a bonus.The Senate,which is always liberal with'the peopie’s money,put the item in the appropri-ation bill but the House absolutely re- fused to stand for it.Glory to the House! **Ld That is a mighty interesting storyacorrespondentsendsTheLandmark about the will of .Robert Morris,theRevolutionarypatriotofPhiladelphia.It is the story of.an unselfish patriotwhosacrificedhisprivatefortunetoaidhiscountryinitshourofsoreneed.As a result he became'a bank-rupt and suffered imprisonment -fordebt.Morris was ‘given a lot of.North Carolina land as part paymentforthemoneyhehadexpendedforthe‘government,but the land was of solittlevaluethenthathedidn’t evenmentionitinhiswill.It is a remark-able fact that much of that land hasjustbeensoldtothegoverhmentforaforestreserve,for whigh_the own-ers.will receive more than $50,000.If the story is-correct that Morrislosthis.fortune by helping the gov-ernment,the fact that.he made nocomplaintinhis-will'of the govern-ment’s failure to repay “him is addi-tonal evidence that he was an unself-ish patriot.i mles@‘@!IWegivetheStatesvilleIversion:of _the saldyceep s aignme sen:iandlesseraheadneanteplanatorynotes.’The Landmark'smemoryistolerablygood,but we won-der how come it happened to slightJosephusDaniels?His name is whereBenAdhem’s:is said to have been—at the head of the fist.And,after.all,|The Landmark didn't answer ourquéstion,neither,so {t didn’t.—Char-lotte Observer.‘ Let’s stick to the text,iels isn’t a candidate for the Senate.The Observer’s point in ringing in theClevelandincidentonWardWasevi-dently against Judge Clark's candi-dacy;to remind theold Cleveland fo].juwing in Lhe State thar Judge Clark’schiefcampaignerhadoutrageouslycriticisedCleveland.The Landmarkrecitedthehistoryintheeasetoshow the Observer that it-was-unfortunate in recalling the incident,as its own candidate,Mr.Simmons,was in thisameboat,That is all.there-is to it. sandmark’sBoyden-Ward and along with it Mr.Dan- We have no idea what the Observer means by saying The Landmark didn’t answer its question,If it has ad- dressed any question to this paper,or propounded any question that it is called onto answer,The Landmarkis Lin ignorance of the fact.

A careful reading of the Postmas- ter General’s explanation!of the Sun- day mail regulation ges not disclose any material modificationsof ‘the story previously published.Mail arriving Saturday night will be worked and put in lock boxes for delivery on Sun- day,but the delivery.window will not be open on Sunday and no mail reach- -ing the offee on Sunday.wilt be de- livered ‘except:in special cases—that is,where a free delivery stamp is attached,or the mail is for transient .guests’at hotels or for newspaper of- fices.This concession ismade-to ho- tel guests who may be ip town fot Sunday only and.to newspapers for, the reason that newspapers that print a Monday morning edition will have urgent need of the mail arriving on Sunday. Mr.Mann,of Illinois;the Republi- can leader of thé House,is the author of the regulation,which is made not ‘as a concession to Sunday observance but as a concession to postoffice em- ployes who want one day of rest in seven. As was to have been expected,the regulation has caused a great howl, especially in the-cities.We can un- derstand the criticism in citles.like New York:and Chicago,for instance, where the greater part of the popu- .lation.observe Sunday as a holiday if it is observed at all;and we can also understand the criticism of the morn- ing daily papers,who find the delivery of their Sunday editions hampered and their business interfered with to that extent.But a big part of the howl comes from people who have-no. real need to get Sunday mail.In many places where postoffices are open on Sunday people crowd the lobbies and ask for mail in greater numbers than on week days,simply because it is some place to go.Many of these peo- ple expect no mail and get none;only’ a small part of them get any really important mail that they are obliged to-have..People who read the Sunday newspapers will be @lscommoded in some instances,but a way will doubt- less be found to get around that.Sift- ed down to the real facts then,much of the howl against restriction,aside from the publishers of Sunday papers; is without real foundation.The peo- ple simply complain because they are deprived of something to which they have been accustomed.Whether that something is a real necessity is beside the question with them. The biggest howl in North Carolina over the regulation comes from Char- _lotte and Greensboro,where it is rep- “resented that sousthiig aatul will happen if the people are not allowed to get their mail on Sunday.Here ‘is a sample of the complaint from the news columns of the Charlotte Observ- er:. There.was not lacking citizens in abundance who denounce in advance as hypocritical any claim that may be made that religious ends are sub-served.They point out the fact that it does not provide for a total cessa- tion of mail delivery,but merely withdraws this privilege from ail!'‘mail that does not bear a special de- livery stamp,and the theory is ad- vanced that the reat motive back of the enactment was the raising of rev- enue.It is also held to be inexcusably discriminatory in imposing on first»class and second-class postoffices re-strictions to which third and fourthclassofficesarenotsubject.Trav-eling men who are accustomed tohavingtheirmail.sent to the place atwhichtheywillspendSundayareespeciallybitteragainstthisinnova-tion, In the first place the regulation:is not’made on ‘religious.grounds butintheinterestofthosecompelledtolaboronSunday,to avoid such work“on that day as may not be consider- ed absolutely necessary.The pointthatspecialdeliverymailisadiscrim- ination in puerile,.When prohibition was enacted provision was made toallowthesaleof,liquor for sick peo-ple on doctors’presersptions,this be- ing considered a necessity by somepeople_The®govern-ment allows special delivery for thosewhoconsiderlettersorpackagesim-portant and urgent enough,to requireimmediatedeliverybyspecialmes-Senger.For,this Service tén cents ischarged:.*No discrimination about it.“Traveling men can pave their:mailsentincareof.the hotels where theystop;and,as has been stated,specialprovisionismadefor’them The Landmark is not diseusking thisquestionfromthestandpointof.Sab-bath observance.It is not a “strictéonstructionist”in the matter ‘of Sab-bath observance,but -it does believe unnecessary labor should be avoided on that dav.This paper patronizes the postoffice on Sundays and“expects to do so,but it has sub- in some ‘places, mitted the foregoing remarks to show that the new regulation:isn’t likely to result in anyboty’s death and that itis by no means the fearsome hard- ship.that it is held up to:be whefi the facts are analyzed. Later--The Postmaster Genacad ac-! --+=August 30,1912., cording‘to an interview in the Char- lotte Obsever,says postmasters may distribute daily papers arriving on Sunday if they’re so amind.If they. do.not choose to do 80 they cannot he compelled to do.so;"..> “The resulh._in-South Carolina ‘is not surprising.A few days before the election Senator Tillman declared for Jones,saying Blease’s conduct had made the name of the State a by-word and a_reproach.;‘Tillman came out too late to help Jones,If. he ‘felt that way about,it he should have said so earlier In tme acmpaign. Blease is a logical result of Tillman- ism.Tillman aroused class prejudice ‘and hatred in South Carolina and since he first came sinto power elections in that.State have usually been decided hot on merit,not’on the issues,-but on prejudice.Blease is thé™logical result of”Tillman’s teachings.Tillman did not intend the thing ‘to-go so.far; he ‘did not expect the,time.would comné when a’man like Blease would control,but it is the logicalresult and his is the blame..It-is a sad time for South Carolina but‘there is’hope in the fact that Blease won by.so nar- row a margin.‘ ‘Some things:we can understand, some we can’t..One is’how in the name -of common=sense did the (Sunday mail)“rider”to the post- office appropriation bill escape the attention of Senator Simmons?— Greensboro Record. It is surprising,for according to the Senator’s friends he is not only eagle-eyed but Aryus-eyed and never. sleeps on the job.But Senator Sim- mons has limitations as well as other folks and the rider passed him as well as the others._ It will be noticed that the State Board of Health urges a dog law and the State Farmers’Convention in Raleigh this week adopted a resolu- tion urging the Legislature to enact a State-wide dog law.The dog law is coming.The sentiment developed for it in Iredell when it was under discussion last spring shows the prop- osition is strong in Iredell.By and by the people will force the Legisla- ture to enact it. Gov.Marshall’s suggestion that a lawyer who aids and abets in the formation of trusts,by drawing con- tracts which enable them to loot the public;should be made criminally liable,will of course be considered revolutionary by the lawyers,but it is worth pondering.The Landmark thinks a line should be drawn some- where to show just how far a‘lawyer might go in aiding criminals to escape the law and plunder the_public. What is “important mail??de- mands the Greensboro News,The way some of them are howling about the postoffice Sunday regulation one would think patent medicine circu- lars constitute,important mail. According to the news.from Ashe- ville,the Republicans in this State will unite on State and county tickets but will have two electoral tickets,one for Taft and one for Roosevelt.The expected has happened. “Why Must -The Consumer Always Be the Goat?” Baltimore Sun,: The Democrats are carrying the war into darkest Africa with a ven- gence when they invade New England under the banner of tariff reform and with such an aggressive political slogan as this: WHY MUST THE C ONSUMER ALWAYS BE THE GOAT? This is the heart-searching ques- tion that Governor Marshall hurls at the voter in his speech at Portland, Maine,formerly one of the “citadels”’ of protection.What it will.be this year no man knows,for this is the campaign of political miracles,in which the Democratic party is once more rele i and in its right mindand.the hee oretiae party has gone crazy and divided its lunacy almost equally between its two factions. ‘Why must the consumer always be the goat?Must he?Shall he? Will he?That question will be re- peated from this time until election day by millions of gonsumers_in all parts of the country.ooks as if the consumer is mighty tired of be- ing the high-tariff goat and as if he were going to say so.very emphatical- ly in November.

For the first time in 20 years the Bureau of Engraving .and Printing this week began turning out national bank notes and other paper currencyonpowerpresses.Sixteen presses, capable of turning out 4,500 noteseachday,were put in operation. This was the result ofa compro- mise inserted‘in the sundry civil appro- priation bil]permitting the use of power.presses.Organized labor made a strong fight.to prevent their use,but finally.agreed that one-fifth of the total amount of paper currencycouldbeprintedbypowerinsteadof the old hand presses.The machines began printing:the backs of bills ofalldenominations.

The American.Bar Association Op- poses Recall of Judges. A resolution adopted by the Amer-ican Bar Association opposing the recall of judges,says:“We maintain that.the recall ap- plied to judges will tend to deprivethepublicofjudgesofability,char- acter,high sense of duty and a due regard to enlightened public senti-ment and that a judiciary is absolute-ly necesary to the existence of a constitutional democracy. “The application of the recall}to an ordinary official may be a question of expediency but it is not fundamental-ly wrong.To apply it to the judiciary is in violation of the principles.—of government which ages of experience have demonstrated to be wise.In the States and in the Federal govern- ment we have the right of impeach- ment and in several of the States the right of removal of a judge by the Legislature.If the right of -im- peachment is not sufficient an ade- quate remedy can be created for the removal of a judge for conduct in- consistent with his office after com- plaint is made and he is given an.op-portunity to be heard in his own _de- fense.In this way the independence of the judiciary is maintained and a judge is removed simply for incapac-ity or misconduct in office. “The advocates of this system claim that it is in the intérest of the com- mon people.This we deny.For more than 300 years the greatest bulwark for the-protection of the mass of the |people has been the courts.There |never was a time in our country when jany.man,however poor or humble, jcould not apply to the courts-and be ;assured of protection.Is It any re- |proach upon-courts that they have ex-|tended the same protection to the rich ‘and powerful when assailed by pop- ular prejudice?” setinieiionddsihcaledataptaeti Let the Facts Come Out.

Some historians record that he losthislargefortunethroughwildspecu- lations,but it is known that he spent large sums to aid the Colonies in their Struggle to free themselves of the British yoke and that due to the weak- ness of our government under the ar- ticles of confederation and the poverty of our country immediately after the war,he:was never repaid the moneyhehadadvantedandthathewasforc-ed into bankruptcy ror that «reason. If this be true should not the nam¢of Robert Morris be more hignly ‘honor-ed for his substantial aid toward ourindependence?After the Revolution,the nationalgovernmentbeingunabletopaythewardebt,the States were called up-on to pay their share of the debt andmanyoftheStatesusedtheirun-granted land to pay their part of theindebtedness.In some cases this pub-lic land was granted to the national government but sometimes_it)wasgrantedtoindividuatstowhom.thegovernmentowedmoney.That seemstoaccountforthefactthatthe‘willofRobertMorris,of Pennsylvania,isrecordedin.McDowell county,in thisState.When North Carolina wascalledupontopayherpartoftheexpensesoftheRevolutionshegrant-ed lands for that purpose.It seemsthatitfelltoherlottopayoffthedebttoMorris,or part of it.We findfromtherecordsofMcDowell.andBurkecounties.that more than 100,-000 acres of land:in those counties wasgrantedtoRobertandWilliamTate,These grants were really to RobertMorris'but he being a non-resident}could not.enter land in this State,sojitwasgranted.to the Tates and:laterassignedtohim.,All the grants beardateofMay30,1795...The wit abovereferredtowasmadein1804‘and itistobenoticedthatitdoesnotrefertothevastestateownedbythetesta«tor in this State,possibly.becausethelafidWasconsideredworthless:atthetime,and was worth very little,The will has only recently been re-corded in McDowell county.Robert Morris died in poverty in1806,having lost his fortune and gonetoprisonfordebt.He wag paid bytheStatesforhisdonationtotheChiattibertybut.the paymentswereuselesstohimandtohisim-mediate posterity because the landsgrantedinpayment:of the loan wereuseless..Now the United States _goy-;ernment is repurchastng some of thoselahdsatfrom$2.50,w 37 an acre.A deed ofor 8,000 \acres of this landwasplacedonrecordatMarionlastweek,passing title to the United[States.The considration.was morethan$55,000.This is the first com- Oa [came an animated Scene,members ||bidding -each other goodbye and jshakinghands.Old tinie political | |will show that Congress hasappointmysaiddearlybelovedwife,factually in s |Separates us politically,not as friends his large’fortune to the support of,| of the embarrassing situation of last;week.J aA_wild outburst of applause greet-|ed Speaker Clark’s announcementof |adjournment as his gavel fell in the|House.The floor’immediately be-| foes buried all difficulties and feuds|apparently were forgotten :n the gen-:|eral leave taking.Just before.he|announced the adjournment Speak-|er Clark addressed the House.“As the hour of adjournment ap-|proaches,”he said,“the Speaker de-sires to congratulate the House on|having reached the end of one ofthelongestand:most laborzous ses-sions on record.The chair believesthataninvestigationoftherecordbeen |ession more days since} an any Congress that}December theversat.The Speaker.desires to|thank all members of Ahe House’onbothsidesofthebigaisle,which | jbut patriots,for.the uniform cour-|tesy with which they have treatedjtheSpeaker.I hope we will reach|home safely,all have enjoyable vaca-j}tions and will all return refreshed;and invigorated for.our work next|winter.” Senator Nelson awoke the Senateforamomenttothankthepresiding|Officers.of the session,Senators:Gal-j linger and Bacon...Senatorial de-;corum lost itself fora.moment.asjthelittlegroupinthechamberap-|plauded the speech.Senator Shive-ly had passed a resolution thanking|Vice President Sherman:for his con-|duct as presiding officer.Then as the hands of the ‘clock;slowly crawled to 4:30 Senator Gal-|linger,in the chair,-arose -and de-|clared the session adjourned sine|die,and the remnant.of the Senate|wandered out-of the chamber.siaanieipsnatioeas b |Government Ma y Do First Road|Work in This State.© Washington Dispatch: North Carolina will be the firstStateinwhichroadconstructionwillbestartedundertheprovisionsofthegoodroadsbillwhicnbecameatawlastweek.The Simmons’good roadsbillprovidesthattheworkshallbehandledthroughthePostmasterGen-eral and the Secretary of the Agri-|cultural Department.Postrnaster Gen-jeral Hitchcock and Secretary:Wilson|had a-.conference with Senator Sim-mons and told the Senator that it wastheir-intention to_begin work-on-roadswithinaveryshorttimeandthatthe,first step will be taken in some of theNorthCarolina_counties where moneyjhas‘already been appropriated.forroadconstruction]The Simmons’billprovidesthatthe-government shall aidintheconstructionoftheroadswherethecountyorStatebearsitspartofthecost.-It is expected that an expert fromtheofficeofpublicroadswillbesenttoNorthCarolinasometimenextweektomakeaninvestigationandde-cide upon what point in the State thefirstworkonroadswillbestarted.

London Dispatch,28th.Funerakservices for the founder of the Salvation Army,General Wil- liam Booth,were held at the Olympia tonight.In accordance with the tra- ditions they were without pomp or Symbols of-mourning,but were car- ried out with moving fervor and im- pressiveness..Thirty-four thousand persons participated in the function. Nearly half of them wore blue coats and red Jerseys or bonnets with the red ribbon so familiar on the streets of the cities.of the world where the army is established. plain pine coffin rested high on .a catafalque in front of the big plat- form across the end of the hall where all the chief officers of the organiza- of music were massed. The crimson.flag of the army “of fire and blood,”which the general un- furled on Mount Calvary,was plant- ed above the coffin.A bank of flow-ers,composed.of tributes sent by members of royalty and many others were behind it.Flags of various na- tions in -which the .commander-in- chief had waged campaigns were ar- rayed in front of the platform. The front row of chairs before the coffin were filled with representa- tives of various bodies and also the equerry of the King,several mayors. in their robés and chains of office,a delegation from the stock exchange, ministers’and clergymen or all the Protestant.churches and Jewish:rab- bis and many notable personages were seated throughout the house.But the rank and file of the great gath- ering was composed of the plain peo- ple for whom the army works and of whom it is composed. The.service itself was not only a memorial but a mammoth meeting of prayer and praise.A feature was:the conducting of a true Salvation Army revival ‘service with invitations’to sinners and backsliders to come to “the mercy seat.”-Dozens of persons forced their way through the crowd- ed aisle to the mercy seats on eith-er side of the platform where they knelt in prayer.In some cases.the police were required to force a wayforthepenitents. =| Negro’Lawyers and.the American “Bar Association. The American Bar Association,in session at Milwaukee,was considera- bly agitated by a discussion of.the rights of negroes to become members of the association.It seems that three negroes had been admitted’to membership when’it was not known at the time their applications were passed on that they were negroes. The last of these was W.H.Lewis,of Boston,assistant Atvorney General of the United States.Wher the exec- utive committee of the association, which passes on the applications for membership,.found that Lewis.was a fiegroittriedto turn him down, but Attorney Gener:Wickersham made a strong fight for-Lewis.The matter was settled by passing a res- olution.that hereafter the color of the applicant must be,stated when upplication for membership is filed.
