Breese,of Transylvania county,and Jos,E.Dickerson,of Buncome,for- mer president anddirector,.respec-tively,of thé defunct First National Bank of Asheville;was this week af-firmed by the United States Supreme Court,as briefy mentioned in TheLandmarkofTuesday.The,indict- ment,which was brought in 1897,and has been fought through the courts ever since,charged conspiracy to embezzle from the bank.The appeal to the court of last resort was on a technicality,-defendants contendingthat-the.indictment was invalid be- cause the grand‘jury had net accom- panied thé foreman into the courtroominpresentingthe.indictment to the court.‘Justice Holmes in’ court’s opinion said that the’point that a.-constitutional right had beenviolatedinthus:presenting the ‘indict-ment.did not need discussion.Heexplainedthattherestofthegrand jury was in an adjoining room with a clear passage way to the court.roomwhentheforeman.presented the in- dictment.-“‘It would:be going some- what to say that it was BOE present-ed in the»presence of/the grand jury,”said the justice,“if we apply the case regarding the signature ofwills.”He added that the point wasraisedtoolate.5‘The First National Bank of,Ashe- ville failed in July,1897.,At firstthere’was no suspicion of wrong do- ing,but when a receiver was ap=| pointed and investigation made it was found that the collateral of the bank was slight;‘that loans were many and.that little currency was in the vaults,Indictments were brought against Major Breese,the president, W.H.Penland,castier,and J. Dickerson,of the board of directors.It was charged that Major Breese had embezzled and misappropriated more than $100,000;that sir.Penland had benefited more than £80,000 and that Mr.Dickerson had taken illegally ap- proximately $67,000:It was shown at the trial that officers.of the bankhadobtainedmuchmoneybymeans of accemmodation’notes—having ir- responsible parties sign notes for them,by.whieh:they got money from the bank.as While.Breese,Penland and Dicker- son wete all indicted,for some reason Penland was never put on trial.In 1898 Breese and Dickerson were con- victed at Asheville and sentenced to ten years in prison.A new trial was granted by the Circuit Court of Ap- peals..Later Major Breese was put on trial .in Asheville and the jury failed to agree.The cases were mov- ed to Charlotte,Major Breese was again tried and again the jury failed to agree.At a second trial in Char- lotte he was convicted of misappro-priation of funds and sentenced tosevenyearsinprison.The -indict- ment was quashed by the United States Court of Appeals on the ground that two negroes sitting on jthe grand jury had not paid their announcing the jtaxes.It was expected by friends of the defendants that this ended the case,but the original.indictment found at Greensboro,’which lacked jbut a few days of being out of date, was brought out.On this Breese and |Dickerson were tried,convicted,sen- tenced to two years each in prison and fined $2,500 each. i |eee tna ene The Widow of Ex-President Cleveland |to Marry Again.

Davidson Correspondent to Charlotte Observer. Petitions are being circulated forsignatureshere,anc at all other points on the road from Charlotte to Taylorsville,asking for the discon- tinuance of trains Nos,15 and 16 on Sundays.,These trains,leaving Char- lotte at 7:50 o’clock a.m.,and re- turning at about 8:40 p.m.,have only been operated for «rew weeks and the more conservative of the Church people along the line affected think that their running is an unnecessary, not to.say unjustified,increase of.Sun- day work for all involved and an un-warranted invasion of the Sabbath quiet.3 (The Mooresville correspondent.of The Landmark has mentioned that these petitions were in.circulation atMooresville.The Landmark has noconcerninthis,matter,but inasmuch as a Sunday train from Noanoke does now and has for some years run reg- ularly by Mooresville,Davidsgn andallpointsbetweenDavidsonand Charlotte,one wonders why the pe-i |titioners don’t begin on that,and whether two Sunday trains are worse than one.In other words,the people between Mooresville‘and Statesville and Taylorsville and.Statesville,who had-no Sunday.train until the Tay- can consistently ask.wnat it be discon- tinued.But Statesvtile,Mooresville; Davidson and other points which had Sunday trains and will continue to have them,should,if.they object toSundaytrains,petition to abolish the whole business.At least that is The Landmark’s viewpoint.)'

More than three years ago,when the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was ---:November 1, pending in the Senate,certain tariff | votes of Senator Simmons were -criti- cised.Forthwith a certain element in the State,which apparently favors -a protective tariff,shouted free trade at the Senator’s critics.These criti- isms were made at a time when there “was no welldefined opposition to Sen- ator Simmons’ -e-election»|they); were simply the views of those who did not_agree with nim.Within the past few weeks this «ame cry of free ‘trade has been raised;the charge is that those who oppose the Senator’s views on'thetariff are for free trade. Mr.ThomasSettle says:“a tariff for revenue is synonymous with_free trade.”The Republicans have all these years shouted free trade at the Dem- ocrats|who stand.fer--a_—revis- ion of the tariff in’the in- terest of the consumer;who would reduce the tariff to:the lowest point. possible for it:to produce revenue suf- ficient for the government’s needs. The idea is to levy a tariff primarily to produce revenue.Of course there would be incidental -protection with a tariff like that,but tt would not:be a tariff levied primarily for -protec- tion with incidental revenue,as is the case today under the Republican plan. That is to say,no interest should be given protection solely ‘for the sake of protection,for whenever the claim is made that it is necessary for the gov- ernment to tax the people to help an industry to develop the country, one has embraced the Republican idea of protection. Absolute free’trade as The Land- mark understands ‘it,is no tariff duties at all,and ir anybody is ad- vocating that plan we haven't heard of it.It is therefore absurd to charge those who stand for a revenue tariff and the elimination of ‘special favors,with favoring rree trade,un- less one if agreed with Mr.Settle that “a tariff for revenue is synony- _mous with free trade.”Those who in- dulge in the free traee cry have con- sciously or unconsciously followed the Republican custom.They are mak- ing the same critictsm the Republi- cans have always made.A few days ago Gov.Wilson said thé Democratic party does not stand for free trade or anything approaching it,This has been seized upon and exploited as if it was something new.Gov. Wilson made the assertion in answer to the age-old criticism of the Re- publicans,that the Democrats favor free trade.But while Gov.Wilson truly says that the Democrats do not stand for free trade,ne also says:’ “There should be an immediate (tariff)revision,and it should be downward,unhesitatingly and steadi- ly downward.” And that “downward,unhesitating- ly and steadily downward”revision that the -Governor contends for:ey vmeans,if it-means anything,that the tariff should be reduced as.nearly to -a revenue basis as is possible.-It does not mean that some interest here and there should be favored because it is in our own secuon,or that so long as somebody is getting some- thing we should have our share.The idea is to treat all sections and all interests as nearly alike as it is pos- sible for human;wisdom to:devise. If it be contended that there is a benefit to any section in a protective tariff,then we have given our case away,for the Republicdns have _al- ways so held;and,the moment we contend,or agree,that any special interest should receive favors,that moment we agree that the taxing power of the government may be used in behalf ef certain individuals and interests;that tribute may be col- lected from the masses for private purposes,as the Republicans have always permitted and which the Dem- ocrats have always denowiicee as mor- ally and legally wrong. Be not deceived.The free trade ry is the old Republican cry intend- ed to deceige the people and divert them from the real.issue.That a protective tariff would herp certain Southern industries,just as it has helped.industries.in other sections, *and enable them to accumulate great wealth,will be admitted.But the money thus collected is collected from the masses,who are,without their consent,compelled to pay tribute that certain industries may profit.That is what we have always denounced as wrong and The Landmark is of This paper.is calling nobody a Re- publican who-doesn’t claim to He one and je reading nohade out oof th: party—ie has no such authority.But it-does not believe in a.protective tariff for the benefit of individuals on: interests.If it did it would support* the Republican national ticket,for it” has no desire ‘to take from the ‘Re- publicans.what’they nave atways| stood for.It wants them ‘to’have their,own.

Hail the new day! days those who.had the -In the other put up the campaign boodle.They got’returns from the government in full measure,at the expense of the people.-It is men like Woodrow Wil- son who are urging the people to takeover their own government and ‘administer it in therr own interests. The scrutinizing of campaign.con- tributions and,the awaxeningof ‘the public conscience argues well..By ‘and by the people will find it is great- ly.to,their interests ‘to administer their own affairs and they.will dis- pense with the service of,the,self-ap- pointed agents,who have always.as-. sumed the task of managing -pub- Nie affairs in their own interests. Judge Clark,in his speeches in:ad- vocacy of his senatorial candidacy, opposes the tax on tobacco,or at least so large a tax.He says North Carolina pays about $7,000,000 tobac- co tax yearly and he does not think so large a tax shoutd be put on a farm product.Tobacco is purely a luxury and jit.is on rmuxuries that the highest taxes should be levied.To- bacco is an important industry,to be sure,but the same argument’was made for the manufacture of liquor and Tom Settle is making it now. Of course tobaceo if not in the same class with liquor sq far as injury to the race is concermed,but it is in the same class.so far as its use being necessary or beneficial.And by the way,would the removai of the tobac- co tax benefit the grower of tobacco?

Why.It is the First Tuesday After the First’Monday in November. ‘Washington:Dispatch.‘ Why are Amertcan presidential elections and the cvngresional elec- tions in the off years held on the first.

In the Democratic party we have similar conditions.There is a class of reactionary or standpat Democrats led by men like Parker,Bailey,Mur-phy,Simmons and others.On theotherhandwehavetheProgressive Democrats.This class:led by Wil-son,Bryan,Kerne,Stone,O’Gorman, Overman.and others.There is a ma- terial difference between these classes of Democrats.The reaction-.ary class in the Democratic:party stand for limited protection,while the progressive class stancs for tariff for‘revenue only,-as written in the Balti- more convention.Limited protection is"the doctrine taugit by Sam’Ran- dallyof Pennsylvania,while the latterisadoctrine:taught by.Jefferson, Jackson,Voorhees,»Wilson,Bryan, Vance,Ransom,Jarvis,Overman,Ay~ doctrine ‘means an open ‘and enlargedmarket.for the manufactured arti- cles;a reduction of.the high.cost of living to the consumer and a mainte-nance’6f reasonable prices for the products of the agriculturist. Let-us put no stumbling blocks to Wilson as President and the Demo- cratit party in the Senate of the Unit- ed States.We judgé:men by_theirrecords.Simmons admits he voted 13 times against his party in the 17 Democratic meastres,favoring limit- ed protection as againse,the Demo- cratic idea of tariff for revenue only.

THE LANDMARK WEDNESDAY,-November 6,1912. FROM WITHOUT THE STATE. Judge -Cooke remarked from the Superior Court bench last week that crime seems to be increasing in Ire- del];that he had held four courts in this county and found more criminal eases last term than .ever before. That isn’t pleasant to hear,Iredell leas a fine reputation for law enforce- nent and for the observance of law _and order,and the citizenship should maintain that reputation,for first ‘and last it’s:the best asset we have. :ee eetCol.‘Thos.J.Pence,of Nérth Car- olina and Washington,who was the chief manager of Gov.Wilson’s pub- -Jicity campaign prior to the Balti- been eonnected with the ca ’eontributed $1,000 to the campaign ‘more convention and ‘who has since campaign, fund.Don’t know where “Torm”got .the money,or “how come”a newspa- per man to have as much as $1,000 at one time,but he gave the money in a good cause,and his faithful serv- ~jees deserve reward. *.** A dispatch from Washington of date of last Friday says: Twa dozen or more Southern rail- way attorneys from North Carolina are here to confer:with the chiefcounseloftheroadaboutStatemat- ters and a general policy for the im-mediate future.The Southernis try- ing to get in closer touch with the State through its attorneys. The Southern,and the other rail- roads,too,usually keep in pretty close touch with affairs in this State.Pos- sibly the touch is a little too close and the influence a little too strong at wimes for the good of the people. *»-* Im a speech in New York Friday night Gov.Wilson directed an attack en the United States Senate as a “citadel of private interests,”declar- img the people had not had posses- sion of that.body for a generation. The speaker said confusion and in- eessant contest would result for the mext four years with a postponement ef législation unless both houses of Congress as well as the presidency were “Democratic .through and through.”The Governor.struck the keynote in that.;This is writen in ad- vanee of the election returns,but if Ggv.Wilson.won yesterday,as ex- pected,the thing he has to fear for the success of his administration is entrenched privilege m the United States Senate.That is where the in- terests have made/a successful stand for years. |**| The following from -the Oxford Ledger is evidence of how far some of the Democrats got In advocating a protective tariff in the recent cam- paign:; We would again impress upon themindsofthetobaccogrowersthe reason why he is now receiving agoodpriceforhistobacco.The reas- on is-a simple one.He is protected by a duty of 89 per cent on leaf to- bacco imported into this dountry. That is the argument the Repub- licans have used for years and if it is correct the Democrats should give them credit for it and admit the er- ‘tor of the long-time Democratic pgsi- tion on the tariff.But if the import duty on leaf tobacco was responsible for the high prices received for leaf -tobacco this year,it would be inter- esting to’know what was responsi- ble for the low prices received for leaf in past years—and the price was 'so low for some years that it almost put the tobacco growers out of bus- iness. aee Webster’s Weekly has the thanks of The Landmark for giving its readers in full the statement of this paper as to its attitude in the recent sena- torial campaign;‘and while the cam- paign is over we wish to set the Week- ly straight on one more point.That paper says:68 : S we understand It,the States- ville Landmark,while’supporting Governor Kitchin for the Senate,is standing pat on its criticism of him in connection with the bond matterandthepardonofSnemwell. The Landmark has never criticised Gov.Kitchin “in connection with the bond matter,”in the sense of charg- ing him with any wrong-doing. Through the*influence of the holders of.North Carolina repudiated bonds, the State bonds offered for sale .in 1910 found ho market in-the financial centers.To meet the emergency, *Gov.Kitchin ‘was about to-call an ex- _tra session of the Legislature to dealwiththesituation,Then the Ameri-can Tobacco Company and certainbankerssteppedinsavedthedaybybuyingthebonds.The Landmark considered it a joke on Gov.Kitchinthatthetobaccocompany,which healleges—and correctly so far as weknow—has always fought him,shouldcome‘to the relief of the State in acriticalsituationduringhisadminis- ¢ration.: 1 But The Landmark did notsayandhadnothought’of saying, that the tobacco company bought the bonds at the instance of Gov.Kitchin or as a favor to him,for it‘did not believe anything of the kind.It’s idea was and is that the company.saw an opportunity to establish an obligation on the State arid bought.the-bonds for that purpose;and if any time in the future thé Legislature—as it has not in the past—should show a dis- position to enact tegislation that would interfere with the tobacco com- pany,it’s friends would point to the service the.company had rendered to refuse the offer ef;the company for the bonds andif,he had done so his action would have been criticised. The tobacco company was well aware that the Governor could not pass any legislation,but that it was the Legis- lature and public sentiment behind it that it had to fear,and that was what it was attempting to influence. The Weekly is correct as to the Shem- well matter.:That criticism stands. |STATE.NEWS.

What.the Aldermen Have Spent andWhatHasBeenDone—Cost of theWork,Ete.Having spent $100,000 in street im- provement work in less than two: years,Statesville is keeping pace with Iredell county,which is spend- ing $400,000 in road building,and both the town and county may nowproudly.proclaim.their rank ‘withthemostprogressiveoftheSouth. With the paved streets and side-walks,Statesville has put on a dif-ferent appearance,and with muddy‘streets a thing of the past is nowtruly.“The Best Town in.North Carolina,”as was claimed before the street work began..When the present municipal ad-ministration began there was-in the city treasury ayailable for street work about -$10,000 and by virtue’of the new city.charter secured during Mayor Grier’s:last administration,the new.administration was enabledtolayoutstreetimprovementdis-'tricts and issue bonds’for ‘the work. The new charter providing for thestreet-work,.was prepared duringMayor.Grier’s first administrationandwassybmittedtotheLegisla-tur.,but gpposition to it wasraisedbyStatesvillepeopYeandthetoun- ty’s.representative.in»the Legisla-.ture refused to have the _¢harterpassed..During the second-Grieradministration.the charter was pass-ed and the way opened to assess /part of the cost of the work against adjoining property and issue bonds. The present administration has_is- sued and sold bonds to the amountof$95,000.With the $10,000 on hand when the administration began a total of $105,000 has thus been available for street work and when the.work now under way and otherworkthathasbeenmappedoutis completed,practically all of the mon- ey will have been spent. The biggest item in the expendit- ure of this enormous sum was the payment for the paving of Center and Broad streets,which work wascompletedlastweekbythecontrac- tors,Messrs.Kelley,Monroe «Mey- er,of Portsmouth,Ohio.The pav- ing contract for these:two streets amounted to $58,692.In addition to this thousands of dollars were spent in grading.these streets preparato- ry to the paving and the cement side- walk work,the fillmmg of the hollowbetweenSharpeandArmfield streets necessitating hundreds of wagon loads of earth.The paving work was begun by the contractors the 15th of last May and the entire summer was put in on the work. While this seems like a long time, when the amount of the work is con- sidered one does not wonder that much time was consumed.Much of the grading was done by Kelley,Mon- roe &Meyer and the tarvia was laid at $1.25 the square yard,the con-tract price including 7,000 cubic yards of excavation.A total of 37,- 294 Square yards of the paving was put down for-the city.To do the work about 125 laborers’and 20 teams were employed all summer, about 350 cars of «crushed granite and ten cars of granite curbing from the Harris Granite Quarry Compa- ny of Salisbury,18 cars of tarvia bitumus ‘binder and 40 cars of ce- ment were used.To give an idea of the amount of hauling done it might be stated that each car of the crushed granite made 30.loads for the big dump wagons used.The pro- cess of .construction.was ‘necessarily rather slow.The stone curbing and gutter were first built and then a four-inch concrete foundation was put down,on which the macadamtarviabitumusbinderwaslaid,giv- ing the paving a depth of six and ahalf’inghes.j From the railway.station to Water street Center street is paved a width of 60 feet and from Water street to the city limits the paving is 30 feet in width.From the city limits to the crossing of the Statesville Air Line railroad on the Wilkesboro road the tarvia -paving was continued by the county at a width of 30 feet,the work being done by Kelley,Monroe &Meyer at $1.32 the square yard. The total cost to the county was about $9,000.The figures given above as the amount of material used,etc.,and the time required cover the entire job of paving,both city and county contracts.Only two dlocks of Broad street were paved—a block each way from the square—and the width of the paving is 60 feet.The paving onCenterstreet,including the county’s portion outside the city limits,meas-ures.a mile and a quarter,and a drive over this fine stretch of street and road is calculated to convince any one of!.the advisability of mod- ern methods of street and road im- provement.Outside and disinterest- is a fine piece’of work,a great credit to the builders and the community. “The cement ‘sidewalk work whichembracesalltheprincipalstreets of the town,was and is ng done by several contractors.So far about 28,000 square yards of sidewalk has been laid at an.average contract price of $1 the yard,the city doing the grading and furnishing the ce- ment.About 30 cars of cement have been used to date.The width of the sidewalks vary in accordance .with the importance of the street.In the immediate business section the walks are 20-feet in width,while out in the residential sections there are some walks that are only four feet wide.

AN UNUSUAL’CAMPAIGN, The|campaign.which ended with the election yesterday was remarka- ble in mapy respects.For instance, the New York Commercial calls at- tention to the fact that Wilson re- ceived.support from men who would ordinarily have supported Taft,but realizing that the President stood no show they.voted for Wilson to defeat Roosevelt.But in localities where Taft was strong and Roosevelt weak, some.Roosevelt voters:went to Wil- son,the desire being to hold Taft,}- down to aS poor a showing as possi- ble.Thé Macon (Ga.)Telegraph ‘and the Chatlotte Observer find the.¢cam- paign set some new precedents,viz.: It inaugurated the.presidential‘preference primary system,it split the Républican party following the strong-hand methods 'used’by the Barnes-Penrosé machine to defeat Roosevelt for the nomination,it wit- nessed the attempted assassinationofoneofthecandidatesfor.President,and saw the place of one of the nom- inees for Vice President vacated by death before.election day.There was also the nomination of a PresidentcandVicePresidentforasecondterm, the first time in 90 years when both the President and Vice President were. renominated for a second term, The campaign will also’be noted in history for the sprit in the Repub- jican party which seemed,far’in advance of the election,to so definite- ly determine the result that.it was accepted as a foregone .conclusion, InStead of the uncertainty and unset- tled business conditions,which.exist- ed in former years,the result seeming so certain was accepted in advance; business not only went on as if no campaign were’in progress but an unusual revival of business took the place.of the stagnation and uncertain- ty of former years.It is also in evidence that the Whoop and the hur- rah of former.years is passing as a feature of political,campaigns.It was marked-in this campaign,and will probably .be more marked in the future,that while a limited amount of .oratory will be a part of the fight;the people generally.are reaching and forming their own opinions without the orator.They go to hear him in limited numbers but most of them know as much about the matter as he does and some of them know a great deal more.In future most of the voters will have tobe reached by literature—sensible discussion and appeal to reason—and not by the froth of oratory and the hurrah of a parade and torchlight procession. It is believed and hoped that as the average citizen becomes more en- educated,he will take a greater interest im government affairs;an interest that will guaran- tee the selection of faithful public servants ‘and good gowernment ih consequence;and that ‘he will:also demand that campaign issues em: brace live topics of real reform in ad- ministering government and inaugur- ating such measures as will benefit all the people,rather _than =glittering generalities that appeal mainly to partisan prejudice.

In many of the States proposed constitutional amendments,laws, questions or propositions were voted upon.Oregon,Kansas,Arizona,Wis- consin and Michigan voted on a pro- posed amendment to give thé fran- chise to women.Cclorado had a long list of proposed new laws to be pass- ed upon by the voters and Oklahoma decided the troublesome question astowhethertheStatecapitalshallbe Guthrie or Oklahoma City. Many of the States elected Leg- islatures that will have the naming of United States Senators.A tétal of 33 seats in the United States Senate were at stake in the election.Of these 18 are now occupied by Repub- licans and 13 by Democrats.Two va- cancies,caused by the death of Chas. J.Hughes,of Colorado,and the en- forced retirement of William Lori-mer,of Illinois,bring the total up to 38. About 16,000,000 Voters Eligible to Cast Ballots Yesterday. Approximately 15,815,000 _men and 630,000 women in the United States were eligible to vote in yesterday’s election..This estimate was made by the census bureau and represents as close an approximation as it was pos- tion itself.The numer of votes castinthepresidentialelectionof1908was14,888,442, There are 29,999,151 males of all races and colors in.the United States at present who are over the voting age of 21,but there are 3,738,587 of these:who ate foreign-born and can- not yote because of non-citizenship. This leaves’28,260,560 native-born males of voting age who,if some re- striction does not stand in their way, can avail themselves of the right.of franchise.Census figures show,how- ever,that only 65 per cent.of “poten- tial-voters,”as they are called,actu- ally cast their ballots.

TT LITTLE GIRL'S LODLONG JOURNEY. Eight YearsOld,SheShe Traveled AlonearenAfricatoRutherfordton,N. Albany,Ind.,Dispatch,81st. Attention of passengers at the un- ion depot here esterday was attract-ed by a sweet-faced little girl,who,’|bore on her breast a tag stating that, her name was Juanita Marcener,and’that she was making the trip from a point in North Africa alone to Ruth-erfordton,N.C.,where she is to en- ter an Episcopal missionary school.The tag also bespoke the .kindness and consideration of officials and pas- -|sengers with whom she might meet uponthewaSheleftherelastnight on.the las lap of her-long journey.Back of the presence of ‘the.little girl at ‘the station here yesterday has been unfolded for some time.years ago ‘the parents of the little girl,Rev:and iis.Martin’Marcener, were located in a North Carolina town where the young,husband ‘was,rector -Desir- ing to enlist for greater service than their field permitted,the young people volunteered .to go as missionaries to Their services.were accepted and they were sent’to the north coast of the Dark Continent. Two years later,while happily en- gaged in their work of ministering to the people of that far country,little Juanita was born and for eight years she lived happily with her ‘parents without a thought of the great coun- try beyond the seas.True she had been told of all the greatness and wonders of the land of the free,but as yet they were to her'but words. Thoroughly satisfied with .their work,and feeling that they would never be happy save in the following of their chosen lot in life,the parents hesitated to leave the Dark Conti- nent and-return to the United States, but at the same time they desired that their little daughter should have all the benefits which the average Amer- ican child enjoys,and after carefully thinking the matter ever,it was de- cided to send little Juanita to Ameri-ca for an education.When the ques- tion of a.school came up it.was promptly settled in favor of school of their own faith,located in their native State of-North Carolina.

Great Granddaughter of Patrick Hen- ry a Suicide.: A great granddaughter of Patrick Henry,Miss Mary Fontaine Freeland, committed suicide in New York last week by taking gas. Miss Freeland was connected with many of the prominent families of the South.She was related to the Dandridges,from which family came the wife of ‘George Washington;totheRandolphs,who gave three Gov- ernors to Virginia;to Bishop Meade, the first bishop of Virginia,and she|was a niece of Admiral Maury of | |civil war fame. Acute melancholia was given as the | probab le cause of Miss Freelard’s3 3 jcide.Despondency had _been brou on by the unexpected death last.win iter.of her brother,Thomas Freeland, |who had lived w ith Miss Freeland on |their joint estates near Vicksburg prised about 10,000 acres.The Free- land estate is in Warren county,Mis-|sissippi. Following her brother’s ‘death,theMississippifloodslastspring,through which Miss Freeland suffered heavy property loss,caused her much worry and for some time she was threatenedwithnervousprostration.Instead ofspending'the summer at.Newport, as had been her custom,she went to a sanitarium near South Norwalk, Conn.,where she was a patient until she went to New York —weeksao.

The change would take 13 votes from Wilson-and give him 29,4ehich would increase his total to 403.The addi- tion of California’and Minnesota to Rooseyelt and the.loss of,Illinois would mean a net loss of four votes for him,reducing his total ‘to 85. ‘simdanaaliaisteasutsiincct THE RESULT IN’THB STATE.

I was glad to see Simmons return in North Carolina.He is Progressive enough for me.‘“There is no reason why the coun- try should suffer any set-back over a change of administration unless Mr. Wilson decides to call an extra ses- sion of Congress soon.after his,in- auguration.That will naturally dis-aoe conditions and I hope-he will not do.It. “T have just purchased’extensive orange grove property in Florida and I want'to see the South blossom with prosperity..The Yerfow Jacket.will remain at Moravian Falls and.it will continue to fight in the ranks of Pro- ¢pessiveism.” PRESBYTERIAL CONFERENCE.

With Texas showing 3,699,124 |bales,a greater quantity than ever before ginned to November 1 in any year,the census bureau’s report,is- sued Friday,announced 8,849,898 ibales had been ginned in the ‘United| States prior to that date.Oklaho- i 593,366 bales,a'so ex- ceeded ariy previous year’s report for that date.In the period from Octo- ber 18 to November 1,there was |ginned 1,976,692 bales compared with 2.635,052 bales last year.[In /North Carolina 495,791 bales were ginhed. The Department of Justice is mak- ing a strenuous effort to push as close to conclusion as possible all the pending anti-trust prosecutions.ofWhilethe issues have been joined in the two |biggest cases—the suits against the) |Steel and Harvester Trusts—it is not} lthought they will be ready for de- cision by March 4.The steel suit probably will extend well into the new administration.President Taft has established a record on anti-trust prosecutions,having’a total of 71 cases while’the combined total anti-| trust prosecutions of the administra- tions of Pfesident Harrison,Cleve- land,McKinley:and Roosevelt,or since the passage of the Sherman law,was 62.

Mr.Underwood regards the galling of an extra session a matter of course. The dire,prediction of business de- pression as to the result of Democrat-lc tariff legislation is'!not taken seri- ously here.As one House leader to-day put it,President Wilson is too astute.a man to “fall for such guff.” In fine,the congressional leaders are confident new legislation,revising the tariff.schedule by schedule,can quick- ly be put through Congress;as quick-|ly put on the statutes and immediate- jly proven a stimulus to rather thanjadraguponbusiness.7 | Rev.Dr.J.T./Plunket,pastor of a |Presbyterian church at Birmingham, |Ala.,preached Sunday morning and |dropped dead of heart disease on his |return from church...|Twenty buildings,including a num- |ber of business buildings,’were burn- jed Saturday at |Ellijay,Ga.Loss |about $60,000. ‘TO RENT.romsccce int W.W.FOU:||SHEE Noy.12.

STATE PRISON COMFORTABLE. Comforts and Conveniences Provided ‘or Prisoners—Profits of the Peni- tentiary Farms.: Dr.R.Wood Brown,in Hickory Dem- ocrat.: “The way of the transgressor 15 hard.”This may be true in the ma- jority of cases,but there are many prisoners in the penttentlary at Ral- eigh:who never befor had 80.many comforts;.The..warden,Mr.T.P. Sale,has made many improvements, which some of the inmates do not de- serve.It seems to me as far as the Raleigh penitentiary is concerned, about the only punishment is wearing striped clothes and loss of liberty.The food,bed and_bedding.are excellent, the prison hygienically modern,cloth- ing free,a certain sum of money wheh discharged,and all it costs the.pris- Joners "is their daily work and’their liberty.‘;: The buildiny’is-three stories,brick, built in the shape’ot a T.The.top of the T facing:the interior or prison yards ig about 200 feet.long.,This Goods First Class, -Prices Right, Delivery Prompt.

The ceHs,opening into a court or corridor,are heavily barred,about 9 feet by 5 feet,and 10 feet high,very neat and scrupulously clean.The wo- men eat in the corridor in.front of their cells:and the men in the regular dining room.When Mr.Sale took charge .he furnished.earthenware dishes,so now the prisoners have attractive tableware instead of tin cups and plates. [here are at present 850 prisoners, but only 100 are in the penitentiary, 750 being farmed out or worked on the State farm.During good behavior the prisoners have the use of the yards on Saturday and get a rebate of.7 days out of every morth and $7.20 per annum, This money is given in total at the time of discharge.It costs 50 cents a day to maintain éach convict,in- cluding clothing,food,and guards, The most able-bodied men are rerited J Our goods are always first class,"' prices are low anddelivery prompt. a Yours truly, Lazenby -Montgomery Hardware SCOCSSOOSOROGERCEDTEL '*FIERE IT 18: ::e-‘Stationerv|! a THE VERY BEST,25 CENTS A POUND.

While some of the money:received by the farmers for their products is- put back into the banks,much of itisspent’in fall trading and,the Statesville merchants are enjoying the best fall business for years.In fact the large amount of money thus being put into circulation is having a healthy effect on all lines ef busi-ness.

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE, While he hasn’t said so in so many words,Presiflentdelect Wilson‘inti} 4 mates very clearly that he will call an extra session.of Congress soon after he is inaugurated to.revise the tariff.

Mr.Watterson thought Wilson a vis- ionary upstart when.Wilson de- clined to accept Watterson’s sugges- tion.that.Ryan finance the Wilson thinks Wilson will have.great ‘trouble as President because’there are not men of the Watterson type to guide him.‘Mr,Watterson may not believe it,but there are others.

The protection Democrats also object ,to an extra session.Better go slow; *might disturb things and hurt busi- ness;better.wait,they say.These people seem ~to think that the talk of tariff revision by‘the Democrats was largely for campaign purposes; and that having won the election the Democrats should “let well enough alone,”or that few changes should be made so as not to seriously affect the protective principle.It is a mystery to The Landmark why people who hold this view supported Wilson.The natural place for them was with Taft. That ‘President Wilson will stand firm for fulfillingallcampaign pledg- es to the letter is assured.We be- lieve the majority of the members of Congress will stand with him.The danger is in the Senate.With a nar- row Democratic majority in that body, the fear.is that enough protection 'Democrats will be found to block the administration measure,just as Gor- man,Smith et protectionized the tariff bill of the Cleveland admin- istration,‘chtseathatmnancbecitaitaaiadan als.

Urless An Iredell Man Should Win the Collectorship:the Office WillProbablyBe©Removed —FromStatesville.,Oa eS a ’Citizens of Winston-Salem have:en-‘dorsed Col,G.E,Webb,ofthat city, ‘for collector of internal revenue’un-| der the Wilson.administration and their hope and desire is that the revenue ‘office will be moved to Win-ston.The Twin-City people have long.contended that the.office should,as a} matter of right,be located in Winston | because so much revenue is collected| there;which argument,by the way,| is by no means conclusive.;|The collector’s office in this dis-| trict has_long been regarded:as a) sort of personal asset of the collec- tor in ‘the’matter of location;that is; save in one instance,the man ap- pointed collector has been permitted to select the location,which is usual-| ly his home town.iFromthecloseofthewartothead- vent of the first Cleveland adminis: tration in 1885,the cellector’s office was’located in Statesville with the exception of -a few months,when it was located in Salisbury.while a ®alisbury man was collector.In those days there was no ctvil service and the revenue force was very active in politics under Republican administra-tions.Major Dowd,of Charlotte, was appointed collector under .Cleve- land and at once Charlotte clamored for the office;so did-several other towns.Statesville and Iredell people insisted that inasmuch as they hadtheburdenoftheoffice,/to to speak,under Republican administrations,they were erititled,as a sort of refom- pense,to.have whatever advantage there was unger a Democratic ad- ministration.-Newton and Catawba |.| ,|I eounty people demanded the location of the office at Newton on the ground that Catawba was the banner Demo- eratic county of the State,which it was at that time.They got Senator ance’s ear and the Senator,beingresponsiblefortheappointmentof Major Dowd,his friend and former law partner,sent the office to New-ton,where it remained about two years.Then this collection.district, known as the sixth,was consolidated with the fifth district,which emr braced the central section of the State,and Kerr Craig,of ‘Salisbury, was appointed collector.He at onceremovedthedfficetoSalisbury. When Harrison was elected in 1888: J.B-Eaves,of Rutherford county,|was appointed collector and at the| instance of Dr.J.J.Mott,who had| the appointment made,the office~was brought back to Statesville.Mr. Faves failed of confirmation after a struggle of some months and Major| Rollins,of Asheville,was ‘appointed| Major Rollins at once /removed the| office to Asheville.It remained there | during the second Cleveland adminis-| tration because men from that sec-| tion of the State filled the office of eollector,and continued theré under tepublican administrations until Mr.Geo.H.Brown,of States- ville,was appointed collector by President Roosevelt,in 1906;and Mr. Brown brought the office to States- ville. Collector Brown,who took the oathofofficeJuly17,1906,holds chis.of- fice at the pleasure of the President j ||i soon after March 4 as President Wilson} While all the deputie? in the collector's office are under the c@gil servicé they can be removed with | little trouble «if the new collector de- sires to make changes.He can simply say that their services are unsatis- the tffing is done.Unless the law is changed,however—and’it probably| will not be—/the vacancies cannot be | filled by men selected by the collector.| He will have to take men from the| eligible list on the civil service regis- ter and in making changes,.if’he|should make them for political reas-|ons,he takes chances on coming out| at the same place he went in.It is| said there are now few eligibles on| the eligible list for the revenueser-| vice.but an examination is to be held | soon.and Democrats who aspire to | places at the pie counter will proba-| bly take much interest in civil service | examinations hereafter. Some More Talk About the Williams‘|Whiskey.| It was reported from.Greensboro| last week that Mr.N.Glen Williams, of Yadkin county,was threatening to bring a civil action in Yadkin Super- ior Court against Collector Brown for damages because the collector had re- fused to sell him stamps to taxpay a certain amount of whiskey which he |wishes to sell. The facts are that the commission- er of internal revenue,it will be re- called,issued an order abolishing the| warehouse at.Williams ‘and orderedthewhiskeyshippedtoKentucky.Mr.Williams secured an injunction restraining the execution of the order,alleging that it was made throughmalice,and the case is now pending in the scourts.Meantime Mr.Wil-liams asked the privilege to taxpay acertainamountofitheliquorandsell,it.This the commissioner refusedand’Judge Boyd sustained him.The commissioner may have power to re-consider and order the stamps sold.If the court holds that the tom- missioner of internal revenue has proceeded;against Mr.through malice the latter will ‘be en- titled to damages grom the govern-.ment,but not from Collecto?Brown, -who is an innocent party.in the case,or from any individual.‘A.civil ac-tion in the State courts against agovernmentofficialwouldofcoursebetransferredtotheFederalcourt.

The Treasurer of the United States is not appointed for a fixed term.He simply.serves until his successor is appointed.The resignation of Mc- Clung means the money and securi- ties for which the Treasurer is re- sponsible must be.actually counted and receipted for.This will be the} greatest single financial transaction in the history of.the world,,When Mr. McClung assumedthe duties of Treas- urer he gave a receipt to his prede- cessor for $1,260,134,946.88 2-3.While fund is not known it is expected it will exceed those figures by many mil- lions.It will require probably three months to count the money and secur- ities.This creates a remarkable sit- uation,because,presuming that Mr. McClung’s successor will retire on the 4th of.March with the.in¢oming of Woodrow Wilson,the count must be made all.over again for the.new Treasurer.en As soon as the Senate confirms the appointment Of Mr.McClung’s suc- cessor the new Treasurer’s name will appear upon all the currency of the United States.The change will en- tail considerable expense.It proba- bly will cost $10,000 to correct plates and a large sum,for money and securities.

Discussed a the Meeting.: In the presence of a large congrega~ tion,in which were delegates from most of the churches of Concord Pres-’bytery,the Presbyterial :ConferenceonEvangelismandFinancewasopen- -ed at.the First Presbyterian churchWednesdayeveningat7:30 by.Pr.W.J.Martin,president of Davidson Col- lege,the first.speaker.dn the pro- gramme.The delegates had been com- 'ing in since Tuesday evening and oth- ers arrived yesterday.They were metattherailwaystationbyareceptioncommitteeandtransportedinautomo- biles to the homes where they were| entertained.Dr.Martin’s subject‘was “The /Assembly’s Million and.a’Half Campaign,”and in opening the conference he explained the recom- mendations of the General Assembly, which asked that conferences be held in every,Presbytery of the-Seuthern Presbyterian Church with a view to stimulating greater interest in evan-| gelism and finance.The Assembly desired and requested that the execu- tive committees of the Church,with the’Laymen’s Missionary Movement,institute the every-member canvass in all the churches of the Assembly and raise a million dollars -for current mission ‘work,and then from the men of means of the churches secureahalfmillionddllarstoequipthe fields.The second recommendation of the Assembly was that a great evangelistic effort be made in all the churches.By giving of our.means we can do work all over the world; and by personal evangelism we may Dr.Martin conclud- ed by ealling attention to the appall- ing lack of evangelism in the church- es,and declared he had taken the trou- ble to look it up and had figured that for every minister and officer of the churches of the Assembly there wasonlysix-tenths of one addition to the Church by profession of faith during the past year;that the number of ministers and officers of the churches is larger than the number of profes- sions of faith in the churches for the year.i ‘The next speaker of the evening was Mr.C.A.Rowland;a prominent| business man of Athens,Ga.,who gives much time to Church work. Mr.Rowland made a forceful talk on “Consecrated Possessions.”HearguedthatinallHisworksincethebeginningoftimeGodhasused human means and effort.and we’shodld ask ourselves if we are limit-ing God’s purposes by our lives.God‘intended that we shoatd work and He expects of every man that he conse- crate his life and possessions.to Him. Various ways in which men and their possessions have been used were enumerated by the speaker,who de- clared that one reason the Kingdom of God is being delayed is because the business men will not give their time and service.We earn money andgainpossessionsbutbecauseofself-ishness we do not consecrate them to God.We should recognize God’s ownership.“One reason we do not get joy out of our possessions is be- cause so many of us have not yet de- cided what portion should be dedicat- ed to God:We should read the Bible and see what God says about it:At the present rate of giving we will never overtake the task to be ac-complished.The gifts to benevo- lence are by no means keeping pace with the wealth of the Church mem- bership.Dr.A.A.McGeachy,pastor ofthe | Second Presbyterian church of Char- lotte,who was for years engaged in evangelistic work in the West,deliv- ered a strong address on “PersonalEvangelism,”which conchidedevening‘session..Dr.MeGeachy.said he was glad ‘to have such a subject, because it is a question of saving men and it appealed to him..The first work of a church is saving men— converting them from unbelief to faith.Christ declared that He had come to seek and to.save;He was first of all a Saviour and sin was the thing He-hated ana fought.Christ is our example and the Bible our light,and our first great purpose is to take sinners and have them.be- hold the Lamb of God.The minister has not filléd his duty in preaching a sermon unless he closes with a plea -to sirners to turn to Christ,and the officers and members of a church have not filled their duty whet they have disposed of the routine matters of the church.The.first duty.of a man who has learned of the gift ofGodistotellittoothers.The only way the work can be doneis /for all of us to get into it,and unless the spirit of evangelism gets hold of all it egnnot be done.Dry rot attacks everything and it has apparently at- tacked the Church.We must fight this disease by earnest evangelistic preaching from the pulpits and per- _sonal evangelism among the members of the churches.The sermons should close with a question to be answered by the sinner.It is not a good ser-mon unless it makes people feel thattheyshouldbesomethingwhichthey | are not;that they should do some- thing they are not doing.Every mem- ber of_the church should give some time to personal work,for we areduetogivealifetoGod.Personalwork,the winning of;souls,is the sweetest of all experieriees.Mr.Mc-Geachyclosed.with a relation of his experiences:in’evangelism in__Shgr-‘man,Tex.,where he had a.congre-gation which he considered ideal;one which told him to give his time tothesavingofthesinnersoutofthechurchandnottothemembersofthechurchwhowerealreadysupposed tobe saved.;Yesterday:morning’s session”opeftt AND FINANCE the| _STATESVILLE,N.-C.,FRIDAY,NOVEMBER 22,1912. |THE L -CONNER MARRIAGE. |Mrs.Zora’Deal and Mr.John A.‘Conner Married Wednesday Eve-ning—Marriage at Turnersburg._, ..Mrs.Zora.Deal and Mr.John A. €onner,both of Statesville,were married Wednesday evening at 7o’clock.at the home of the:bride’s father,Mr.Henry Deal,at Bariam Lodge hotel,Barium Springs.‘The‘/¢eremony.was performed by Rev.R.iC.Davidson,of Mooresville.The mar- jriage was a Very quiet affair,only a|few friends being present.-Immedi- ‘ately after the ceremony Mr.atid |Mrs,Conner boarded the southbound ‘train for Charleston,S.C.,and other Southern cities.:: The bride,an attractive lady,is.a ‘native of Alexander county.For thepasttenyearsshehasmadeherhome at Mr.C.B.Morrison’sin.Statesville |and much of that time has been a telephone operator.Mr.Conngr;who is well known in the community,‘isapopularandsuccessfulbusiness man.: The marriage of Miss Jessie.Hen- dren and Mr.Jacob Edwin Griffith was solemnized Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents,Mr.and Mrs.J.E.Hendren, at Turnersburg.The ceremony was performed by.Rev..Dr.Chas.An- derson,of Statesville,in the presence of quite a party of friends and rela- tives of the couple,the ring.service being used.;The bridal pair entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wed- ding march,played by Miss Florence ‘Armfield,of Statesville.The.bride wore a pretty blue.coat suit and car- ried huge white chrysanthemums.Im- mediately after the ceremony.the bridal’party came to Statesville in| automobile and Mr.and Mrs.Griffith left on the 11 o’clock train for Balti- more,where they will make their home) Mrs.Griffith,the bride,for a time lived in Statesville,but has for the past four years made her home in Charlotte.She is a young woman of charming personality and has manyfriendswhowishherhappiness..Mr. |Griffith is a young business man of Baltimore who makes a good impres-ion...=Among the guests at the marriage|were MissesBlanche Hutchison andAddieWier,of Charlotte;Mrs.Frank Sparger and Miss Nora Hendren,of Lexington;:Misses Florence andPearlMiller,of North Wilkes- boro;Mr.and Mrs.R.T.Weatherman,Miss Muriel Hendren and Mr.C.E.

POPULAR VOTE IN.PRESIDEN-TIAL ELECTIONS, A contemporary says the following figures of the popular vote for Pres- ident this year are approximately correct:|Wilson,6,475,000;Roose- velt;4,285,000;Taft,3,500000...This gives “Wilson about 2,000,000.over Roosevelt and more than 3,000,000 over Taft;butthe ‘combined vote,of. Roosevelt and.Taft is about 1,000,000 in excess of the Wilson vote, It?is a fact,however,that’in the: history of the country many men have been ‘élected President who did.not receive a majority’of the popular -vote.In 1824 Andrew Jackson,John Q.Adams,Henry Clay and W.H. Crawford were voted for.Jackson received .the ‘largest popular vote, having 50,551 over Adams,but Adams was elected.In 1844 James K::Polk, the successful candidate,had a plu-. rality of 38,175,Henry Clay being next highest,but Polk lacked 44,125 of a majority of popular yote—the vote cast for Clay and Birney ex- ceeding the vote of Polk by that much.In 1848 Zachary Taylor had a plurality of 189,557,But the com- bined vote cast for Cass and Mar- tin Van Buren in that election was 151,706 in excess of the vote of Tay- lor.Lincoly had 491,195 over Doug- las in 1860 but the combined vote of Douglass,Breckinridge and Bell’was 944,189 more than the vote cast for Lincoln.In 1876 Tilden had 250,935 over Hayes.The combined —vote against Hayes exceeded his vote by. 348,833,and yet Hayes was counted in.In 1880 Garfield had only 7,018 over Hancock and the combined vote against Garfield exceeded his vote by ,311,294.2 1884 Grover Cleve- land had 62,685 over Blaine but the total vote for Cleveland was 221,941 less than the combined vote for his opponents—Blaine,St.John and B.F. Butler.In 1888 Cleveland failed in the electoral college but he had of the popular vote 98,017 more than Harrison and the combined vote cast against Harrison was 500,428 greater than the vote cast for him.Harri- son,it will be seen;was not only more than a half million votes in the minority on the popular vote but his chief opponent had nearly 100,000 more votes than he had,yet Harri- son had 233 in the electoral college to 168 for Cleveland.In 1892 Cleve- land had 380,810 over Harrison but the combined vote against Cleveland excelled his vote by 945,515. It is easy to see how one can fail of a majority or plurality of the pop- ular vote and yet win in the electoral college,for while a candidate may carry by small majorities ,enough States to win in the electoral college his opponent may have such -large popular majorities in the States he carries as to give him a majority of the popular vote;and when there are more than two candidates in the rage it is not uncommon for the winning candidate to fail of a majority of the popular vote. kept his promise. The ‘Rssiaiers Record is loyal to the songof Guilford.It suggests that Oldjo Cannon,defeated for Congress in Illinois,should be sent to the Sen- ate from that State.May the Lord forgive you,Col.Reece,-for seeking to further save that old reprobate from the retirement that should have been his longaago: Says one of our contemporaries: The Durham Herald is opposed to State aid to good roads.If its editor lived in a county that had failed to grasp the opportunity to help itself along this line,he would be willing to take any and everything he could get. That is why someof us do not take to the State aid proposition.Those of us’who have helped ourselves,which is the fair and just way,do not takekindlyto.the idea that we should be‘forced to help those who will ©nothelpthemselves. “This~is the.day I long have, sought and mourned because I found it not.”—Mr.Bryan,;on hearing of Wilson’s victofy.The above Appeared ih the last.is- sue of Mr.Bryan’s Commoner,print- ed in bold type,—Exchange. This quotation has-been printed in newspapers all over the country in that form,but The Landmark had hoped that so prominent a churchman as Mr.Bryan.would not do violence to the old familiar hymn,which runs “This is the way I tong have sought And mourned because I found it not.” No “day”about’it. Landmark was wondering what had become of all the men who had vowed not to shave or have their hair cut until another Demegrat was elected President,as none had come to the front since the election,but the following dispatch from South Bend, Ind.,has saved the day: President-elect.Woodrow-'Wilson will receive a watch.chain made ofhumanhair,red in vofor,which has been adorning the chin and face of Peter Kreezmer,of South Bend,for 13 years.“I am going to wear a beard until we elect another Demo- cratic President,”said Kreezmer -in 1896,when Grover Cleveland departed from the White House.Peter has Saturday he visit- ed a barber shop to have the hair re-moved,and because of the develop- ment of the beard in all these years, Kreezmer owed a half-dollar when the barber had finished with him.But he did not seem to mind this at all,as he gathered up what had been his fiery red beard.The chain is now in process of construction.

The fruits of the pact which will come to the Progressives will be lar-ger representation on the finance com- mittee of the next Senate.At pres- ent the powerful finance committee is composed of nine Republicans and six Democrats.With the Democrats go- ing into.power,they will reorganize the committee.The Progressives want at least four members of the minority, which will leave only two to the regu- lar Republicans.‘; Senators Penrose,Lodge,McCum- ber,Smoot and.Clark,all Republican regulars,,will naturally want to ¢con- tinue as ‘niembers of,the .committee.They.will be members of:the next Senate.To give them places on thecommitteewouldfreezeout.all Pro- gressives..Senator LaFollette wouldlosehisplace.The compact with the Democrats is said to,keep not onlySenatorLaFolletteonthecommittee, but to give three other Progressives plaees.

The election of -Senater Bacon President pro.tempore will settle a fight in the Senate over this position.

Washington Dispatch,20th.

The -raid—themost-extensive and far-reaching ever madé by any de- partment of the government—was under ‘the personal direction of Post- master General.Hitchcock and.Chief Inspector Robert S.Sharp,of thePostofficeDepartment.So carefully had its details been guarded that un- til the first of the arrests were made at Indianapolis,early in the day, practically nothing was known of the government’s contemplated action. Working with clocklike precision,the inspection force spread over 22 States, carried out the pre-arranged plans, and,at an early hour tonight,thePostofficeDepartmenthadreceived word that nearly all the designated persons had been arrested.

And yet within the past year an ef- fort was madé-to make the farmers thing’worth while,and theaigve isis an instance.If Mrs.Belmont, Morgan and others can succeed in inaugurating a movement that will eliminate a custom that makes Christ- mas a burden to so many people,they will deserve the thanks of the pub- lic.The idea that so many people have,that they must scatter Christ- mas gifts among a large number of people,because they have been re- membered or hope to be.remembered by these same people,encourages ex- travagance and destroys the very spiwit of Christmas. *** The county officers of Forsyth have been on.a salary for some years but it seems the county has no auditor. In ‘the recent campaign candidates for the Legislature promised’”that this important.official should be pro- vided.Referring to the matter Judge Jones,who ‘was:elected to represent Forsyth,in the Legislature,says: “We stand for an atditor forthe county of Forsyth and the cities of Winston and Salem whose duty itshall.be to:pass upon and audit the accounts presesnted for’payment to the county and cities.In this way the people may:know.for what pur- pose every dollar levied and collected for taxes goes,“The State and county taxes now amount to $282,000,and ‘the city tax- of .Winston.and Salem.together amount to $212,000,making a total of $494,000.Is there any business,cor- ‘porate or private,in “which$500,000 | annually is spént,that does not have an efficient man to keep track of ev- ery dollar?Should not the money of the people at large,collected in taxes, be expended wisely and economically, for the benefit of the people at large? Thetax-payers are entitled to know how the accounts of the county and cities stand.By a_¢o-operration among the county and the cities of Winston and Salem,one:auditor can be procured to do the work of all three,each sharing the cost.” It is:to be hoped that when the es believe that they were benefited by.a} tariff on gfain.Of course so long| as the American farmer supplies the foreign markets,he likely Ato | continue to do,a tariff on importa-| tions of grain is useless to him. *s * If it is true that the other sections | as is members.of the Legislature:from Iredell draw the salary bill to which they are pledged they will make ad- equate provision to have the accounts |audited .by a‘thoroughly man.That is an important part.In that way all funds can be traced and accounted for.It might be that some competent ; have been receiving the larger end}arrangement could be made for the of the tariff profits we fail to see)ime man to audit the accounts ofwheretheSouthwouldbehurtiftheloth!§il 1th ae other sections were reduced to the |!»oth’Statesville and the county,as -Southern basis ——Durham Herald.ji The trouble is that some of our folks have looked on those large ben- efits until they.have decided they| would like to have them:‘Therefore, instead of cutting off the other fel- low’s graft,which we have always de- nounced as robbery of the masses, these people.who have yielded temptation have reversed themselves and are trying to make themselves and others believe that it would be all| right if the South onry gets.her share of the rake-off.Those who ‘would| profit would be very small in numbers compared with the whole,but they would have you believe that because a | few are benefited the whole country is benefited. *.** In answer to the opponents of an extra session of Congress,who insist that the Democrats should wait until| they have thoroughly investigated the tariff before they attempt to re- vise it,the following from tlhe Ashe- ville Gazette -News fits like the pa-| per on the wall:\ “Make haste slowly.”“New tariff| legislation should be enacted in an understanding way and not.without. due consideration,” the burden\of the cry of certain ones. Woodrow Wilson says he has studied the tariff ‘for years..If Champ Clark does not understand the problem row he never will.If Oscar Underwood and the other.members of the ways and means committee are not now prepared to frayhe legislation on this subject in line with the Democratic platform,how many years will it take them to get ready?Have the lead- ers of Democracy in Congress.-been discussing the:tariff all these in Congress,on the stump and in pub-| lic journals,out of the their ignorance? **- fullness Talking about.the high price of leaf tobacco this year,the Charlotte Observef'thinks it may be due to com- petitive buying.€his would mean that the tobacco trust was really and truly dissolved .by the 'Supreme ‘Court decree and that representatives of the-various parts now:eompete in buying leaf.The like to think this but it doesn’t.

Presidents,the Raleigh News and Ob- LA |VDM ARKh ,=->November 26, .Server says: The latest is the announcement that the Carnegie Foundation has determ- “ined to give an annual.pension ‘of $25,000 a year to ex-Presidents “with .the idea of enabling former executives «Ways that have made every .to give ON ov A master damage “that the mill to.devote their unique.knowledge gained in.public affairs to the public good,free from pecuniary eares’If that is the only motive,the object:willnotbeaccomplished.”The best Way to enable ex-Presidents to be useful. is to let them ‘return to the active pur- :suits of lifé,and earn their own living as do other men.We wish no privileg- ed-class or pensioned leisure class ,in America.We have now two living ex- Presidents,both of whom will con- tribute more,to their country in the. editorial field’and:at the bar than.if they are pensioned’and deprived of the incentive to useful efforts,In nine cases out of ten.the pension would tend to make ex-Presidents travel about and give themselves to enjoy-ment.; This pensioning fad is undemocrat- ic,and will not meet with popular favor.Men should save in their youth and middle age to provide for the days of old age and retirement.The Carnegie fund .could more fittingly go to hospitals and needed charities and let ex-Presidents.take care ofthemselves.The next thing we know some rich man ‘or foundation,with more money:than they know what todowith,will purpose to build a.home for old _ex-Presidents.and ex-Con- gressmen,and the thing will goon until.officialdom has more care than honest péverty.The pension plan, admirable and ‘humane,should not be made a fad.3 The idea that some provision should be made for ex-Presidents,so that they would not be compelled,.in the absence of a competency on their re- tirement from office,to go out and hustle for a living along with the com- mon herd,has long been discussed in this country and we are afraid the plan of a government pension for the ex-Presidents has gained considera: ble strength.The whole proposition is wrong and contrary to the spirit and genius of our.institutions. This is a democratic country and the idea that one who has served in the highest station in the gift of his fellow-citizens is ever after hedged about by a sort of divinity that would make it unworthy of him,and of thecountry,for him to go out in the ranks as one of the plain citizens,is undemocratic;it is aping royalty,anattempttosetupaprivilegedclass; it is nonsense in democratic America. We believe that’one of our ex-Presi- dents served as a magistrate after hisretirementandanother.as road over-seer;and if the one made a goodmagistrateandtheotheragoodroad overseer that was just ascreditabletothemandjustasim-portant,within its limits as any ser-wice they performed while in theWhiteHouse. The increase of wealth in this coun- try has increased snobbery and there is.a constant tendency away from service the plain,common sense,democratic Americancitizenasovereignandeverymanwho | lives uprightly and honorably as.goodasanyotherman.A private citi-zen has a right to provide pensions|for ex-Presidents if he so wills.andtheex-Presidents have a right to ae-cept the bounty,but it is The Landmark’s opinion that if the y do so theywillsufferin of.right-thinking worst thing the respect and este m TheahouttheCarnegieprop- that ittis likely Americans. osition,however,is renewed-streér osition to have the sion ex-Presidents.my government It is The Land-Opinion that a man who hasbePresidentoftheUnitedStatesisasgood.as anybody,if he behaveshimself,but.no.better; have as little pen therefore we patience with the sug-estion,recently renewed by Mr..Bryan,that they should.be mademembersofCongress,as we havewiththepensionproposition.

Bishop.Denny made careful inquity | of the presiding elders regarding dif- ferent features of the work.The first, inquiry was with reference to thegrowthofthespiritofforeign:mis sions in the Conference,and in this connection he called attention to some interesting facts of a compara- tive nature.He stated that the mem-bership of the Methodist Church |South,is now 1,927,309,and that the jassessment placed on the Church for iforeign missions for this.year is only 1 $400,000,which is but 46 cents per jmember.He ealled attention to the fact that during the past 25 years this Church has increased its assessment |for foreign missions only five cents jper capita,while in the same length the’Southern Presbyterian jof time contribution to this from 75 cents to’$1.70. Bispoh Denny asked why this dif- iference between these two denomi- nations in gifts to this interest of the Church,and when one preacher re- plied that it must be on aecount of ithe fact that a larger per cent of the membership of the ~Southern Presbyterian ‘Church contributes _to foreign missions than is true of the membership of the Methodist Epis- copal.Church,South,he said that condition did not exist,but that the answer to the question is that the Southern Presbyterian Church gives more to this cause than does the Church of which the Western North Carolina Conference is a_part.Rev,Plato Durham,making his report as presiding elder of the Win- ston district,deprecated the small at- tendance on the quarterly meetings in the country .churches,the few fami- lies who hold family worship or read the Bible daily.He said he took a census at a quarterly conference and found only one who held family wor- ship,not one who read the Bible daily and only one who read it regularly on Sunday.

HAfter being sold in these countries lfor three years,Jacob Riis,of New|York,induced the Delaware Qnti-To- berculosis Society to combine with the|State Red Cross in issuing a tubercu- losis,stamp.The campaign realized inearly $3,000 and in 1908 the Ameri- jean Red Cross Society brought out |the National Red Cross Stamp.So 'far nearly a million dollars has beenjrealized.The fundamental princi-|ples upon which the seals are sold are two.First,that all money de- lrived from the sale,after expenses jhave been paid,shall be devoted to janti-tuberculosis work;and...second, ;that the money shall be spent in the locality where it is raised.The Ameri- +can Red Cross acts as a central sup- ply and distribution agency.The State and local agents pay 10 ae cent of theiy receipts,which cover cost of printing and distribution of seals.From 75 to 90 per cent.,ac-| cording to local expenses,of the mon- ey received from the sate is spent where the seals are.sold. In Wisconsin the entire supportof |i the State and local work is derived from the sale of the’Red Cross Seals; in Washington,a day camp is sup- ported;in Stockton,Cal.,a small in Pittst pensary and in Buffalo several visit- ing nurses.The seals will be placed on sale} |December 2d,and may be placed on} the back of -paeckages and letters.| It is hoped that 800,000 seals will be Hi}sold in North Carolina this year.

It shows that,262,608 officials and em-ployes in.the executive departments are under.the civil service regulatiohs and that there’are 411,322 officers and employes of the United States gov- ernment,exclusive of the officers and enlisted men of the army and navy. The appgintments to be made by the President with the consent of the Senate by departments are as fol-lows:State 441,Treasury 736,War (exclusive of the army)6,Justice:383, Postoffice 7,593,Interior 272,Agricul- ture 3,Navy (exclusive of naval ofli- cers)11,Commerce and Labor (ex-clusive of census)28,Civil Service Commission 4,Government Printikg Office 1,Inter-State Commerce Com- mission 7,Library of Congress 1._.These appointments will be made without:the advice of the.Senate: State Department 94,Justice (ap- proximately)846,Interior.44,Com- merce.and Labor 8,Civil Service Commission 1.

Meeting of County School Superin- tendents. At the meeting of county school superintendents in Greensboro this week resolutions were passed asking the General Assembly to provide for a six-months’school term and also for compulsory education,with truant officers and all the other accessories that go with compulsory education. A resolution was also passed ask- ing the General Assembly:to make it unlawful for any one under 16 years of age t@ work in:any factory at night and to provide for a uniform system of graduation and certification for teachers.

The tension”in the Balkan:crisis is relieved by the news that the peace plenipotentiaries are continuing their negotiations and that Great Britain and Germany are working actively to gain a peaceful settlement between Austria and Servia.According to one Constantinople report the difficulties of arradbitie a formal armistice are so great that the negotiations are taking the form of seeking a basis for peace.: The danger of the reopening of hos- tilities;-however;-is-still serious:Ap- parently only an informal armistice of 48 hours has been agreed upon and it is said the Bulgarian forces.are already moving closer to the Tchatal- ja and entrenching themselves’in readiness to renew the attack. The Turks have an army of over- 100,000°and soon will have 130,000, for the most part fresh picked troops,behind the lines and it is certain,ae-cording to all the correspondents,that they will give a .good account of themselves if fighting is resumed.Un- der these circumstances with Adrian- ople and Scutari still holding’out, Turkey is little likely to.show a veryyieldingattitudeinthepeacenego-tiations.

I can now get a good night’s rest,and I feel much stronger in every.way.” It-is the combined action of tha medicinal elefments,cods’livers,aided y the bloot-making and strength- reating properties of tonic iron which makes Virol.so efficient in curing" chronic coughs,colds and bronchitis -at the same time building up the weakened,run-down system.Dy “Try a bottle of Vinol,with the un-derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.Ss.Ellington;W.F.Hall,Druagist,Statesville,N.C.” Gastonia,Ozark and West Gastonia,| eoln circuit,J.H.Robertson;Lowell:and |) Dallas,N.M.Modlin;Lowesville,J.} HOW CHRONIC COUGHS| Commercial National Bank $100,000.0030,000.00525,000.00 you are cordially invited to open either check-ing or savings’account with the CommercialNationalBank,of Statesville,N.C.We ayfourpercent.on time and savings deposits,fur-nish check books free for checking accounts andgivecarefulattentiontoallbusinessintrustedtous..We solicit your patronage and once you.have opened an account with us you will appre-ciate'the many advantages of dealing oth a Capital StockSurplus Total Resources over bank with large capitaland surplus,whichis not.only’a guarantee of security to.depositors!butenablesustoextendourcustomerseveryaccom-modation consistent with prudent banking.

ANOTHER EX-PRESIDENT PLAN. Mr.Burleson Would Make Them Rep- resentatives at Large in the House at a Salary of $17,500. Washington Dispatch to Baltimore Sun. As a result of the discussion aroused by Andrew Carnegie’s offer to.pension ex-Presidents and their widows,a movement 15 already on foot to avoid the need of the pension for retired.Presidents by making them with seats in the House. Representative Albert S.Burleson, of Texas,who has been prominently mentioned for Secretary of Agricul- ture in the Wilson cabinet,is behind the scheme,and’he has already draft-ed a provision which he will try to induce the committee on appropria- tions to insert in the legislative,ex- ecutive and judicial appropriation bill.His proposed provision is as follows:4 “Hereafter every ex-President of the:United States shall,during his sentative-at-Large of the people of the United States and.shall be en- the House of Representatives,.with| all the rights of members of the} House of Representatives,save that| of voting,and shall receive for his} service an annual salary of $17,500, provided that no obligation to serve | on committees of the House shall be imposed upon such representative.” Mr.Burleson,said that such mem-| bers as he had met seemed to approve his plan.A subcommittee of the} committee on appropriations,of which Mr.Burleson is a member,is already at.work on the general bill and Mr. Burleson hopt&to have the.subcom- mittee first,and’then the full commit-| tee,accept his text or something like it as avpatt of the original measure| that will be reported to the House. If the provision meets general ap- |proval Mr.Burleson will seek to pro-| jtect it against a point of order as new legislatioti by securing from the com-| mittee on rules a special resolution| permitting it to stand on its merits. To give the proposed “representa-| tives-dt-large”votes in the House} would,of course,require a constitu-| tional amendment,but such.an} amendment,in Mr.Burleson’s opinion, will be unnecessary for his plan. The constitution provides that “the ti House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the sev- seating of territorial delegates.and the resident commissioners from Porto Rico and the Philippines. Under Mr.Burleson’s plan ex-Presi- dents,except for the larger salary,| would be in the position of territorial delegates who can speak in their own right,but cannot vote.Should it.be adopted Colonel Roosevelt could ad- dress the House whenever he secured recognition,and he and President Tatt would face each other after March A. |Their presence in the lower chamber, in Burleson’sbelief,would add to.theprestigeoftheHouse.: Business lot.Seven-room desirable residence on FOR SALE 1 probably take some action in answer Tradd street.Hot and cold water,‘o|to Mr.Carnegie’s:offer,which has bath,etc.Lots near Graded-School.Small north Iredell farm.
