Night Watchman at Kincaid Factory Murderously Assaulted and Reb- “bed Friday .Night—Robt.Miller, Colored.Fireman.at Kincaid’s, Charged With,the Crime.— ‘One of the most brutal and ¢oward- ly crimes in,the-history.of this’sec- ‘tion ‘was committedat the Kincaid ’.Furniture Company’s.plant.late Fris .‘day night’.when Mr!R:Morgan Keever,the night watchman:at.the factory,was secretly dssaulted,béat- eri into insensibility and robbed.He y and’uncon-scious when help reached him and did not regain consciousness until Sunday morning,when he made statements tofourdifferent:people at three different times.naming obert Miller,the colored fireman at Kincaid’s,.as.his assailant,Miller was arrested and is now in jail awaiting eevelopments. The night watchman was making his 12 o'tlock round and had just crossed a gangway which connects the second floors of the two big build-ings of the Kincaid factory,and was entering the door of the building.to the east when his assailant,who was secreted just inside the door,struck him with some heavy instrument and continued to beat him until he was exhausted and unconscious.Negroes living.nearby heara the blows,the screams and groans of the stricken man and the commands of his as- sailant..According to their state- ments the beating lasted for two or three minutes and from six to twelve licks were struck.As each biow was administered Mr.Keever gave a cry of pain and his assailant would say, “Shut up,or I'll kill you,”or some- thing.of like character.Colored peo- ple who heard the blows and cries aroused others and before the murder- ous assault had hardly ceased several of the men had gathered about the factory but.all seemea afraid to enter the building.Tub.Stevenson,color- ed,ran to the railway station nearby and telephoned to police headquarters. Policemen Fulp and Neighbors and Deputy Sheriffs Gilbert and Ward were immediately notified and hurried to the scene,Other officers joined them later.The two policemen were first to reach the factory and they. found the negroes gathered there very much excited.One had been to a point where he could see the victim of the assault but was afraid to gonearerandanotherdeclaredthatasheapproached‘the buildings he saw @ man run across the gangway from the building where the assauit oc- curred to the other building.Hoping that the culprit had not left the build-ings the policemen,with the aid of some of the negroes,first made a hurried search of the buildings,buttonoavail...They then“turned theirattentiontothevictim. Mr.Keever was sitting on a truck with his head on his knees and blood which flowed from his head had form- ed into a pool on the .floor.-There were a number of ugly scalp wounds on the head and his left hand was badly shattered,having:been struck when thrown up to ward off a blow. Lying just in front of the night watchman was his pocketbook,which had been relieved of tts contents,with the exception of.two.cents,and on the floor to the right was his pistol. Nearby also.was 2 2 “6lanterti,which had been broken andwasonthevergeof-exproding,someoftheoilhavingrunoutonthefloor.Dr.Frank Sharpe,who hadbeencalledfrompoliceheadquarters,arrived at the factory in his automo-bile within a few minutes and tookchargeoftheinjure!man.Mr.Keev-er was unable to answer questions in-telligently,was suffering intenselyandit-was realized that he was dan-gerously wounded.Dr.Sharpe placedhimintheautomobileandtookhimtoBillingsleyhospital,where he hassincebeenundertreatment.The topofhisheadisamassofscalpwoundsbutthephysicianfoundnofractureoftheskullandthereisachanceofre-covery.The little finger of the lefthandhadbeenalmostknockedéntire-ly off and it.was found necessary toamputateitatthefirstjoint.

Shuping,.a friend of Keever’s went down:to see him,and while Shuping sat beside the bed Keever told him of the assault.He said that as heenteredthedoorMiller.struck him with a piece of timber;that he was sure it was Miller because he could see him plainly.Shuping,after get- ting this much-desired information, hurried up tawn and repeated Keever’s statement to Deputy Sheriff Gilbert. Mr.Gilbert immediately ’phoned Sheriff Deaton and Deputy Ward andthethreewenttothehoneofMiller and placed him under arrest.©The negro was first taken zo the sheriff’s office and when a crowd gatheredtherehe:became very nervous and clearly showed his fright.Later,af- ter being placed.in jali,ne-told tue officers that while he was gullttess of the crime he was afraid of the crowd and asked to be removed from States- ville.He was assured that he would be-protected and given a fair trial.

Asking For Government Road Work in Iredell. Mr.G.E.French,who is always onthelookoutforanything:that will advance Statesville-or the county, recently wrote Senators Overman and Simmons,asking that a section of the road to be built.under governmentsupervisionbebuiltinIredell.Thepostofficeappropriatienbillpassedby Congress provides for the expenditure of $500,000 in improving roads travel- ed by rural mail carriers.The work will-be done only where counties or States provide appropriations for road work and the government pays only one-third the cost of-the work,the other two-thirds being paid by -the county or State where’the work isdone.As Iredell is spending money on road work this:county is eligibleandiftheplancanbeputmoperation in Iredell one-third of the cost of a road traversed by a rural mail routewillbebornebythegovernmentand the work will be done under the su- pervision of a government ‘road ex-pert. The first work of this sort will,it is understood,be done in this State. Senator Overman is a member of the report on the’work and he writes Mr: French that he -hopes to have the work done in Iredell.Senator Simmons re-plied,that he had referred the matter to the government engineer who will have the work in charge.

Correspondence of Thé Landmark. Senator.Simmons showed.an utter disregard of the interestof the vast ‘army of cotton growers of the South when he favored aprotective ‘tariff on cotton seed oil,the tendency of which would be to exclude foreign buyers.of their cotton seed,thereby curtail-‘ing the market ahd reducing the price..The cotton growers are asking could not -protect them with .its tar- iffs if it would.It is not right,there- fore,for their market to be curtailed and their prices reduced in the inter-est of a small class of people.There should bé a limit to the injustice which the farmer must suffer on account of the protective tariff.: It is true Senator Simmons did not vote for a tariff on cotton seed oil. This was because he found his party so overwhelmingly against it that he did not ask for a yote.The Congres- sional Record shows that he ‘spoke in favor of the tariff on three different }days—April 21,April 22,and May 20, 1909.On the last date he plainly stated that he favored a tariff on cot- ton seed oil.“for the purpose of pro- tecting our own manufacturers.”The |Senator should have thought more of }simple justice to the.many cotton |growers and.less of “protecting”a |few,people at their expense.|Cc.M.TOWNSEND. |Raynham,Robeson County.. |Dogs Went Under Burning House and ‘Perished. |Monroe Enquirer:, Mr.John W.Howie,of Sandy Ride :township,lost his dwelling and al!its contents,except a feather bed,so:ne |bed clothing and a few pieces of fur- niture,by fire last Tuesday hygnt sgon after midnight,together with a smoke house and a well house.Tine house was a large two-story one,nine rooms 'and seven fireplaces.The fire origi- jnated in the second-story ani the roof \fell in soon after the fire was Gis- |covered.It is supposed that rats |}gnawing matches caused thie fire.Mr. Howie carried $2,500 insurance on thehouseanditscontents.A remarkableoccurrenceisthattwodogsLelingingtoMr.Howie,which had been.howl-ing in the yard while the nouse was,burning,went under the building be-fore it fell in and.were burned todeath. j —————— ;-j tain Mercury.ty |As mercury will surely destroy$12,000 of Ci Property...of smell and completely i FOR SALE Five-room house and_lot, Center street,near dépot.

Political Row Leads to An Indictment ;_.For.Libel.ne As the result of charges against C.K..Nimmocks,‘his opponent for the Democratic senatorial:nomination for the -thirteenth senatorial .district, Capt.James McNeil,of Fayetteville, was Friday indicted for criminal libel by the grand jury of the Superior Court of Cumberland county.The charges uttered by Capt.McNeil were contained in a circular letter dis- tributed in Hoke and:CumberlandcountiesandpublishedbytheRaeford (Hoke county)Journa:tmmediatelyriortotheDemocraticprimaryin ‘Hoke August 24th,which Captain McNeil carried. The charges allege that Mr.Nim- mocks by “treacherous methods”de-feated Capt.McNeil’s kinsman,Chas. G.Rose,for the senatorial nomina- tion in*1908...In answer to this charge the “Nimmocks committee,” headed by W.M.Walker,issued a cir-cular letter from Mr.Rose disclaim- ing any knowledge of treacherous methods being used against-him by Nimmocks. The same day McNeill repeated his charges in the Fayetteville Observer, alleging that Nimmocks during the 1908 campaign used the argument in ‘the,rurai districts that if Rose,who ‘was a railroad lawyer,was sent to the Senate he would legislatein fa- vor of the railroads and against the people.Capt.McNeil says that he informed Mr.Rose of these’alleged efforts against him and that his kins- man admitted their existence in ad- ditionto denying knowledge of them.

Of course,England has the-ad- vantage of ‘us in a cooler,damper ¢'i- mate which makes it easy to keep every growing thing green and jux- uriant,but the crying troub'e with us in the South is not lack of opportuni- ties for beauty but failure to im-prove the opportunities we have. -Our ‘standards of beauty are toodow.We are too often conten’to live in bare,treeless,flowerless,vineless,sun-smiitten yards,with widely stp- ings’and thén:scatter our farming over ‘a hodgepodge of ‘miscellaneous atches separated by.neglected gial- evs or tagged undergrowth,,Such,a picture would make the average Eng- lishman’sick at heatt.Compared w.th such a view all England is one vast Eden;Nor have our English cousins used any magie to bring about,this re-sult.They have made their land a vision of loveliness through a few verysimpleandpracticablemethodswhichweintheSouthmightadoptaseasily as they:(1)The use of hedges;: (2)A more abundant use.of flow-ers,and -3 ee(3)A proper.appreciation and plariting of trees.: Taking these in order,let me urgefirstofall*the importance.of”more attention to hedges in the South.InEuropeonefindsthemeverywhere— enclosing the yards,lining the walk, dividing the fields or farms,and svb- stituted for fences.along almost every roadside.One is never out of sight of a hedge.Yet though they are so inexpensive and require so little at- tention after once:started,they are rare in the South..About the only farm homé:I know where they are adequately used is ten miles from my office—and the owner is an English- man!He has demonstrated that hay- ing thém is not a matter of climate but a matter of ideals. In the second place,we need in the South a tenfold greater appreciation of the beauty of flowers and vines. It is rare,that one passes.an English home without seeing a carefully-tend- ed flower yard-in front,while in nearly every cottage the windows fronting the roadway are radiant with the beauty and good cheer of flowering geraniums,begonias and other potted arroom with a beautiful row of flow- ering plants above the sign board. The poorest railroad station is reliev- ed of its barreness by hanging bas- kets of flowering plants;and in the great cities where the people are crowded together in long lines of two or three-story brick houses without a foot of yard,the somber effect is dispelled by the brilliance of the win- dow gardens. running vines falling in green festoons below the blossoming flowers;~but more often single pots of red gerani- To the humblest homes,these flowers give a charm that makes them,look ‘particularly inviting to the.wayfarer and one cannot escape the conclusion is such an emphatic appreciation of beauty in its material forms. In the third place,the English coun- try districts have wealth of beauty in their trees.The Englishman has an unbounded love of a beautiful treesuchasIfearweshallnotdevelop jin the South,until our -forests are fgone.We have too often thought of|trees simply as vexatious obstructionsitobelaboriouslyclearedoffinorder|to get tilled fields,or if we have hadthemaboutthehouse,it has been onlyfortheseverelypracticalpurposeofgettingalittleshade.Your English-man,on the other hand,delights intheformofabeautifultreejustasintheformofabeautifulhorse;andthemajestyofacenturiedoak.or thesymmetryof,a serried avenue appealsrresistiblytohim.It has always beenawondertomewhymoreofourvil-lages,towns,and cities in the Southhavenotplantedlongavenuesoftall-growing trees;and why men who havepropertythat:will some time be usedforbuildinglotsdonotdoubleitsattractivenessbyturningitintogrovesofgracefultrees.There is alittletownoverinFrancethatthetravelerneverforgetssimplybecauseitismadeniemorableby.a long andstatelyavenueofLombardypoplars,through which one approaches it,justasthe20-mile avenue of giganticcrytomeriasleadingtoIyeyasu’s tombisaboutthenoblestspectacleinallJapan.Of all forms of beauty,thatwhichmaybesoeasilyattainedbyplantinglonglinesoftreesofthesamekind,seems to be the most neg-jlected.What a dignity and stateliness|would be given the humblest.farmhomebyhavingtwobeautifullinesofLombardypoplars—graceful.ascathedralspires—as an approach tothedwelling!And while one sees herenopatchesofscraggy.undergrowthmarringthesmoothexpanseofculti-vated fields,the English fields aremademorebeautifulbybeingdottedhereandtherewithgreattreesbe-neath which the sleek cattle or flocksofsheepliketorestwhencontentwithgrazing..I am afraid I otght in simple truthtoaddafourthexplanationofthebeautyoftheEnglishcountrydis-tricts—a certain high regard for neat-ness and orderliness which too oftenseemslackingamongourpeopleintheSouth.I am sorry to say this,for Iammyselfofthe“small farmer”classintheSouth,the class into:which Iwasbornandtowhichnearlyallmyardbelong;but nothing is to be:gained by dodging the truth,and it istruethatwe.seem-to Jack in tho Southnotonlythatwell-developed love of ten,but a certain intense appreciation:of neatness and orderliness which ourEnglishkinsmenandkinswomeénhaveIstillthink,as T tion,in‘part,is-that the negro,comingtousfromasavage.land,withoutstandardsoforderlinessorneatnesshasdebasedourownstandards—thathehasindeed’raised his ideals a littleBy.mis 7 4 eeBEAUTY.OF RURAL.ENGLAND, arated and hadly arranged farm baild-: that life in all its phases must be more| beautiful where,to begin with,there | beauty of which I have already writ=} nearer ours,but in some things weseemtohavereachedacommonlevel by dropping our own standardsalittle nearer his;,that seeing dirty.and squalid negro cabins,for example,has made the white man a little more tolerant!of disorder about his own. home.>: planation:of how.we acquired the fault,it does not.affect the need for reformation:The average small far- mer or farm laborer in England.is just as poor as his white brother in the South,but his great love for beauty and orderliness increases his dignity and enriches his whole.life.

New York Sun. Judicial profundity in New York has committed itself to the doctrine that smoking by women.of refinement is a.common custom inthe larger cit- ies of the world,with the implied,‘if not directly expressed,idea that a di- vorced mother is not by that habit disqualified to have.the care of an 8- year-old son.Thecontention wasbe- ‘tween a divorced couple in this city, the husband seeking to regain the cus- tody of his boy on that ground,among others. While-we agree that the man who smokes cigars and pipes cannot con-sistently or legically object to —hiswife’s smoking cigarettes,if she de-sires,we dissent,from the_social standard which seems to be affirmed in this judicial utterance. |That there are countries where con- scientious mothersand efficient house-wives smoke we donotdeny.But we are old-fashioned and:unreasonable enough to hold that in this country and England women of education, whose ambition is to bring up their children sensibly and to set them theexampleofsoundand_profitable liv- ing,do not smoke.Thespreadof the smoking habit among women is a manifestation of the vices and to be smart and rakish.

TILLMAN TO GOVERNOR BLEASE “South Carolina-Senator Exhorts theGovernortoBeGood, Th an open.letter to Governor Cole characteristic language,resents:the oft repeated assertion in South Carolina that Bleaseism is Tillmanism.. The Senator asks Blease to meet the criminal charges that.have been brought against him,denounces his methods and urges him to try to be a “decent Governor.” “Tillmanism means genuine Democ- racy,the rule of the people,of all the white people—rich and poor alike with special privileges and favors to none,with equality of opportunity andequalityofburdentoall,”says the Senator.Bleasism,on the contrary, meaps.personal ambition and greedforoffice—the office to be.used not for the Welfare of all the people and of the.State,but for ‘Blease and his friends,none other need:apply.’”*»Purther he says:“you never shall, if I can prévent it;carry out yourthreatto.make'the people of South ‘Carolina “‘sweat:blood’.because so many of them have not;been’bam- agogic ‘appeals.’.Again referring.to Bleaseism he says:“I want those who consider Blease- ism as Tillmanism ‘to take thiS ‘con- trast into consideration.wher mie lll- manism.as Tillman preaches it and has always preached it is noble,high and elevating.Bleaseism is selfish, low,dirty and revengeful.”’ The Senator rejoices in the vote he received in the recent primary from those who have always opposed him but charges Blease with having stolen the vote of the old line Tillmanitesfromhim. Concluding his letter,which is quite lengthy,Senator Tillman says: “If you can clear yourself of:the foul accusations made against you in the:Governor’s office and will pur-sue.a wholly different policy,thereissomefutureforyouintheState.Tf you do not your name will go downinhistoryastheveryworstnativeSouthCarolinianwhowaseverGov- Mayor and Prominent Citizens of Fay-etteville Indicted For Gambling.- Fayetteville Dispatch,Aug.80,toaleigh.News and Observer.; Mayor John Underwood and seven other prominent men of Fayettevillewere-late this afternoon indicted.by the Superior Court grand jury on the charge of gambling.An indictment was also.brought against the Indus- trial club “for maintaining and per- mitting gambling in its rooms.”The names of the seven besides themayorare:L.B.Hale,L.A.Wil- liamson,J.H.Slocomb,Jr.,E.E.

Permanent organization was effect-| ed by the election of Mr.W.A.Bris- tol as chairman.On taking the chai Mr.Bristol said that while most o those present were older in years and in:political wisdom than himself,he was sure none of them had more at heart the advancement and progress of the great.-party of which the con-vention was a part.He is Tet a Re- publican,he said,because,his «grand- father was one and his father is_one, but because he believes with all his heart that the Republican policies, under which the American nation has grown rich and great,are the best for the country.At the conclusion of his’remarks Mr.*Bristol named Mr. Furches as permanent secretary and the business proceeded as already told.When it cameto thelection of del- egates.to the State convention Mr. | R.Y..Tharpe stated they had agreed |mentioned in the last issue oftodisagree—every man to vote as he pleases in the presidential contest, which would make no difference so far as North Carolma is concerned, he.was candid enough to say.The Republicans would,however,he as- serted,fight Democracy in a_solidbodyin»Iredell.The election of a board of county commissioners,said Mr.Tharpe,.is of more importancetotheRepublicansofIredellthan a wrangle over the presidential tick-et.The Republicans should,‘he said, have representation on the board of commissioners and in this connection Mr.Tharpe referred to,his work for the road bond issue,which he said he made on the assurance that the bond issue was non-political;and while Mr.Tharpé didn’t say so direct- ly,he intimated that a fight wouldbe | made.for representation on the board of commissioners on the ground that the Republicans ‘should be repre- sented in the expenditure of the bondmoney.:Two lists of delegates were read, ‘one by Mr.Tharpe and one by Mr.Wagner.While there.was no disa- greement there was some confusion and delay in getting the delegates ar- ranged to carry out the agreement be- tween the factions.Of the:77 votes| in convention the Taft people had one- seventh —11 votes.It was agreed that on administration matters in the State convention the.whole strength of the county should be cast for theTaftfolksandviceversainRoose-In other words,each side was to cast the ‘full:strength ofthecounty.without division as the in- terest of each side indicated,and in case of an agreement on a State tick-et the Iredell vote was to be cast in _proportion to ‘the strength in the county conventions.The convention adopted a resolutionfavoringsalaries.for county officers, /pledging their candidates to accept same .and to:have the law become ‘effective March Ist next.The maxi- mum amounts suggested are:Sheriff $2,500 and .$1,000 for deputies;clerk $1,800 and $600 ;tor deputies;regis- ter $1,800 sand $600 for deputies; treasurer and auditor $15200..The following were elected a coun- ty éxecutive committee;J.W.C.

Mr.Barringer’s mail route was thefirstruralmailrouteputinoperation in the county,about ten years ago,and he was the first carrierto go on duty.He was efficient in the ‘work and faithful and.sp far as The Land- mark knows the charges made are the only complaints against him.The Landmark is sorry -that the differen- ces between’Mr.Barringer and the government were irreconcilable.This paper has a kindly feeling for him and’regrets that he has lost his job. AMONG |THE BLOCKADERS. Officers Davis and Ward Destroy TwoPlantsandFindSitesofOthers. Deputy.Sheriff Ward made another trip up into the Brushy‘mountains of north Iredell this:week in search of illicit distilleries and their operators and were surprised to find indications of much blockading in that section. Searching along a branch near the Ire-dell-Wilkes line the officers found two’ lants and places where others hadbeeninoperation.The first plant found was in operation,but the opera- tors had been warned of the officers’ approach and moved away before their arrival.The 100-gallon copper still ‘and fixtures were destroyed and about 1,000 gallons of beer and ten gallons of corn liquor were poured out.The other plant found.was a brandy dis- tillery and the still proper had been removed before the officers arrived. About 500:gallons of pomace,ten gal- lons of brandy and a big ‘wooden apple mill were put out of business bytheofficers.En route Home the offi- cers destroyed A lot of tubs,etc.,at a still sité im~New Hope _township, where operations had ceased. While the officers found much‘evi- dence of blockading,the blockaders were not found and no evidence lead- ing to their identity could be secured. Mr.Ward had a lively chase after a man supposed to be vonnected with the first still found but failed to catch him.While Mr.-Davis was busy tak- ing a government inventory of the distillery Mr.Ward madeacircuit of the place.When’some distance from the plant he spied a man slippinz through the bushes toward Mr.Davis and fearing that Mr.Dayig »was about to be fired on from ambush Mr.Ward: made .a wild dash for the man and called on him to halt.The fellowdartedoffthroughtheundergrowth like a deer and Mr.Ward fired at him several times,without results.

The ,.Enormous Waste of Coal and Other Minerals.. Washington Dispatch: Of a production of 500,000,000 tons of coal in the United States in the last year 250,000,000 tons were either wasted or left underground,probably unfit for future use,according to a statement by Dr.Joseph A.Holines, of Mines.In addition to.this start- ling waste,Dr.Holmes declared that users of coal,through faulty meth- of.its energy from the coal used. Furthermore,he added,the loss by waste in other minerals,such as zinc, nitrogen,potash,sulphur and natural gas,would reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars annually.Director Holmes based his declar- ation on an exhaustive report just made by Charles L.Parsons,chief mineral chemist of the bureau,who nual losses as follows: ural gas than is now manufactured,YC per cent.of the energy of coal can- sumed;antiquated coke making meth- ods,$40,000,000;9,000,000 tons of sulphuric acid from smelters chim-neys. These losses are only the beginning of the enormous drain on the coun- try’s natural resources,Mr.Parsons contends.The loss of nitrogen,he says is,“inconceivable,”while mil- lions of dollars literally “go up in smoke’through losses of sulphur,ar- senic and bismuth from the factorychimneyandflueofthehome, Officials of the bureau,-however, are hopeful for strides toward re- form.Already,they say,rémedial laws,both Federal,State:and munic- ipal,are bringing about better un- derstanding of the situation. “Baby Crys”Not Musical Instruments “A baby cry”is not music according jto a decision of the Treasury Depart- ment.In pronouncing this verdict the government put the baby cry on.thesameplaneas‘‘the-sound of a pistol |shot,the jingle of sleigh bells and the noise of tin whistles and duck calls.” The question came upon a_protest of Carl Fischer,a New York importer, that the New York customs house should not assess small wooden whis- tles known as “baby crys”at 45 per jeent.ad valorem duty as for musical instruments,but at 35 per cent.as manufactured artieles,chiefly valua- ble as wood.His contention was sus- tained.The whistles are used in or- chestras and moving picture shows.

Coming back into the tent he asked Sheriff Deaton,who was in the audi-ence,to have the talking stopped andtheofficerwentoutsidebutcouldfind no one.The service was then ‘closed and the congregation dispersed.-A few minutes later a crash was heard “and when Sheriff Deaton and others who live nearby went out to investi- gate they found that Smith’s tent had been cut.down ‘and badly torn in placés,but the perpetrators of the deed were not in sight. A few minutes later several persons appeared in front of the house on Race street which Smith and family were occupying and called for the evangelist.-Smith,his wife and son all came out on the front porch and after some words had passed between Smith and members of the band,the latter began showering Smith andfamilywitheggsandclodsofdirtand |with the other Roosevelt people who |continued the attack until they re- treated into the house..Mr.and Mrs.| Smith and their boy were all struck and it was claimed by them that Mrs. Smith was struck on the arm by a rock and painfully hurt.After the eattack the party moved‘off along south Race street.re About this time ‘Sheriff Deaton,who was not aware of the trouble at Smith's residence,phoned to the resi- dence of Mr.W.J.Lazenby on Race street-gnd had a message sent to Mr. Smith.telling him that his tent wasdownandthat,if Smith would come over a littl®later he (the sheriff): would meet-him there to see what could be done.Deaton then started up town to notify the police of the tent’s destruction. Wher Smith received,the message that his tent;was down he and hiswifeasdboystartedbacktothetent:“Ay:they went:up south Race street they saw a party coming toward them and they turned and fled back toward home with the band close upon them. Reaching the home of Mr.N.P.Watt the Smiths ran on the porch and calledtoMr.Watt to protect the Mr. Watt came out in his night clothes and seeing the gathering told them that Smith was living in one of his houses;that he had come to him for rotection and he was going:to get his gun and shoot the first man .who. wave further trouble.When Mr.WattreturnedtotheporchWithhisgun the people in the street moved away in short order.Mr.and Mrs.Smith and son spent the night at Mr.Watts’. Mr.Watt_'phoned-to-police headquar- ters and Officers Chas.Fulp and Bu- rette Walker came to his home but found everything quiet,,The officers then went on over to the(tent. In the meantime Sheriff Deaton,who had learned that the police had been called,returned to the tent and found that the organ.which Smith used at his services,had been taken a.short distance from the tent and fired.Mr.Deaton tried to smother the fire out but could not.He went to his home and secured a bucket of water and Mr.Fulp arrived about this time and the two officers finallyquenchedtheflames.‘ Smith packed up his tent Friday and moved it away.The organ which ‘was burned had been rented from Mr. J.S.Leonard.Mr.Leonard called on Smith at the railway station and Smith paid him for the instrument. Smith brought the trouble on him- self,it seems,by.using very offensive language «in speaking of Statesvilleandthepeople.His remarks were always general in their nature,includ-ing all Statesville people.He is al- leged to have declared that nine-tenths of Statesville’s thinisters are liars and scoundrels.and that while he and his followers would go to heaven the regular ministers or Statesville and their church members would be found outside the gates of heaven begging for admittance.He also made otherrankstatementsandwasoffensiveinhismannertopersonshemetonthestreets.3 Shoplifting and Remedy Cont emplat-ed.; Shoplifting has become so.preval-: Jas.E:Tharpe started a movementamongthemerchantstoraiseafundtopayarewardforthecaptureofshopliftersanditisthépurposeoftheMerchants’Association to take upthematterattheirnextmeeting.Albert Chambers,the negro whowascommittedtojailbythemayorindefaultofbondforstealingacapfromtheR.M.Knox Co.,was caught“red-handed™by Mr.P.V.Datson,oftheKnoxcompany,and-it is under-stood that Mr..Dotgon will be paid areward.Chambers“had made a pur-chase in the Knox ‘store and as he under a bundle and attempted to getHewascaughtonthestreetbyMr..Dotson and when.hefoundthathewas“up \against it”heoffered‘to pay for the cap,but his ————~gate.—-The Roosevelt people,said Mr. St eet orraeaee iMR.T.M,GEORGE'S lotte Convention.

Republican’:State,Two Years:ago me?the,Democrats ‘there astonished’the country ‘by‘electing a Governor,a-ma- jority of the Legislature and,a ma- jority.of the Representatives in Con- gress.Under :the circumstances, Democratic prospects being so favora- ble this year,it was noped-that the Democrats:would retain control of the State.They lost by a small plurality and the-loss of the Legislature means the loss of a Democrat in the United States Senate,as one of the Senators from Maine.is now serving by-ap- pointment of the Governor.If there are three electoral tickets’in.Maine, the Democrats will likely carry the State in November,but it will make little difference whether they do or’ not,as Woodrow Wilson’s success isn’t dependent on Maine. Gov.Wilson.is ‘everlastingly and eternally right in taking a stand ‘against the election of Jim Smith to. the United States Senate from New Jersey.Ordinarily it would not be considered wise or proper for a presi- dential nominee to express a pref- erence OF iif any way interfere among Democratic candidates for the Senate, or for other offices in the States.But Gov.Wilson well knows,as does every- body who has given the matter un- biased consideration,that if he is elected President he must have a Democratic Congress if the reforms for which he stands are to be enactedintolaw;and it is well known thatMr.Smith does not stand for theprogressivemeasuresthatmadeWoodrowWilsontheDemocraticnom-inee for President and which haverenderédhiscandidacypopular;and ifmenofthetypeofSmithshouldcon-tro]the Senate they would make Wil-son’s administration a failure and -dis-eredit the Democratic party.-Knowing these things as he does,Gov.Wilsonis.everlastingly.right in opposingSmith.It were better that the Dem-ocratic party should be defeated na-turally than to gain power under falsepretensesandbediscreditedafter-ward,and when it ig known that can-didates like Smith.oppose the thingsforwhichthemajorityofthepartystandsandtowhich‘it:is committedtheyshouldbedefeated.teniaeins The,anti-Taft Republicans are insomewhatofamuddle.First off theProgressives,which’is the propernameoftheregularRooseveltparty,called a State convéntion at Greens-boro,nominated a candidate for Gov-ernor and adopted a platform.Roose-velt Republicans who didn’t care tojoinaseparateorganization—al- though that is what their leader hasdone—werit'té the regular Republicanconvention.in Charlotte.and demand-ed admission as delegates. fused they held a Separate meetingandnominatedaticket,They wouldhavenominatedDr.Thompson,thecandidatenamedbytheProgressives,for Governor,but he declined.ThisweekacommitteeoftheRooseveltRepublicansandthe the latter are ’ Being re- Progressives— Roosevelt Republicans,too—met in Greensboro to adjust mat-ters.The Roosevelt Republicans whowereatCharlottewillnotformallyjointheProgressivepartybut.theywillco-operate with‘it.The commit- tees.‘at Greensboro.agreed on the ticket named by the Roosevelt peopleinCharlotteexceptthattheyputupIredellMeares, Governor,instead:of Zeb Vance Wal-ser,the second man.to decliné thatnomination. present,attem N.Williamson,of organization of the Progressive partygotmadandquit,one report Wiixed:“. ay Re i.The primary for the nomination of |clause amendment,the Legislature was Tuesday. candidates for held im South Carolina it is figured that the anti BleaselewillcontroltheLegislature,wy BP Stevenson one of the arti pi leaders,! field county.|.

The price is now 11.60 cents.Thepriceof101-2 cents is little above the average export price of last year,of practically 10,2 cents,when our en- tire crop was 16,25v,000 bales of 500 pounds each.This year’s yield is now quite -gererally placed at 14,000,000bales. of 2,250,000 bales should make nomoreofadifferencethanthree-tenthsofacenta‘pound.

'Correspondence of ‘The Landmark.’ of w Mooresville,Sept..16-—Last -Satur- day:about.noon a telephone message from Statesville to the:officers heré,asking.thém:to look out,for and ar~ -rest a young couple who.were report-ed’to be coming this way,attracted.quite a little interest foratime...Itwasofcourse’rumored about that this was a runaway affalr and that ob-: jections on the part of the parents to the “match”was responsible for ‘thearrest,“Chief.of P hice Brown and ;Deputy McKnight were at once on the asof ‘and goon found the couple crossing the railroad near the center of town.The officers gently brokethenewstothem.They seemed vifatly surprised since they,accord- ing to their.story,had spent lastnightin.Charptte and had come to Mooresville on’the’morning train a short while before.So it became nec- essary to tell them the whole story of the message,which the.officers proceeded to do.+i 4 It was charged that this young cou- ple had spent some time:in States- ville—several days at least—-and had left between midnighe and day Satur-day morning,not only jumping their board bill but.carrying with them some clothing from the house in which they had been lodging.In ad- dition to this,it was charged that they walked to Troutman and broke into the section house,took out the| section master’s down the’track to a point near Shep- herd’s.Here they threw the hand- car overboard and Mooresville.When arrested they had with them two suit cases and seemed in good shape for traveling.It was explained to them by Chief Brown that they woltlld have to be placed in the city lock-up until night. The young man seemed rather uncon- cerned but the lady seemed very nervous and deeply concerned.When they were placed in the lock-up—the city jail,by the way,is the old powerhouse—the officers left them,the manin.a cell and the woman in an open hall.About-3 o’clock-in the after- noon some one in the neighborhood of the lock-up ‘phoned Chief Brownthathisprisonershad“broke jail’ and were on-their way,going South. They had in some way unlocked the cell,climbed up to the window,and jumped to the ground,a distance of more than 10 feet.It is said bythosewhosawthemescapingthatthe man jumped down first and with:out- stretched arms called to his lady-love to jump—that there could be no.dan- ver as long as-he was there—and shejumped.He caught her.Perfectly natural and gracefully done.Beforetheofficerscouldreachthem.they had traveled something like a_mile. As the officers approached they began to run,but the man,seeing that it would be impossible for both of them to escape,bade his lady a good fare- well and left her to her fate.He called on his’feet ror all they could do for him and the last time he was seen they were giving him excellent service.He has not been seen since by.the officers and has gone to parts unkriown.The young man was rather tall, fairly well dressed,and looked to be about 20 years old.The woman was possibly a little older.They claimed to have been married for two years; that their home‘was in Charlotte,and that they had not been in Statesville. They gave their names,but it was not ,thought that they were’the correct 4 et a han ones. Beginning next Sunday the trains Nos.27 and 28 on the Charlotte-Winston division will have the,pres- ent schedule practically reversed.At present No.28 leaves Charlotte for Winston about 10:30 a.m.and passesMooresvilleat11:26 a.m.In the af- ternoon No.‘27 leaves Winston about 2:30 and passes Mooresville at 4:42. Beginning next.Sunday No.27 will leave Winston early in the morning and will pass MooreSville about 8:30 a.m.No.28.will leave~-Charlotte about-noon and pass Mooresville about 1 o'clock p.m.,going north.This will be a great accommodation to peo-ple in this section who desire to spend a whole day in Charlotte,which isimpossibletodounderthepresent schedule.It is reported also that trains Nos.15 and.16 from here to Taylorsville will be run on Sundays in the future.;Last Friday Narin Templeton,the6-year-old son of Mr.J.Will Tem- pleton,met with a:very serious acci- .dent which came very nearly being fa- tal.The little fellow was ‘trying to drive a mule into the barn when the mule unexpectedly kicked him on the right forehead,peeling the skin and flesh from the skull for so great adistancethatitrequiredtenstitches.

Some weeks ago.Gov.Wilson was asked his views on the liquor ques- tion,and without any hedging,dodg- ing orapologizing he promptly said he favored local option but that he did not think the liquor question should be made an’‘issue in political cam- “paigns;that is to say,he favored’the ‘Apeople passing onthe matter as.cit- ‘3zens rather than’as_political.parti- sans,which ‘is the sensible.view.-Since the Governor's statement was made public the Republican newspapers -in North Carolina shave.had much to ‘sa¥about it.They ‘constantly ‘ask how.the Democratic prohibitionists Gn this’State ‘can support Wilson for _.President without being inconsistent."We do not expect anything.hetein said to have any effect on/these pa- pers,but as such statements may have some weight with people:who havegiventhématterno‘special thought, it may be worth while to say a word. If Gov.Wilsgn,when elected Presi- dent,had anything to do with making Jaws for North Carolina there might be some reason in.saying that pro-hibitionists could:not support him.But-‘any schoolboy ‘knows that the Pres-ident of the United States has noth-ing whatever to do with making Statelaws;and any schoolboy should knowthattheprohibitionquestionisonefortheStates.Therefore,there isjustaboutasmuchlogicinsayingthatprohibitionistscan’t vote for Gov.Wilson consistently as to Say thatMethodists,Baptists or Catholics can’tvoteforhimbecauseheisaPresby-_terian.If he should be President,thebalanceofhisdayshewouldnotifhecould,and could not if he would,haveanyinfluencedirectlyorindirectlyinrepealingormodifyingtheNorthCar-olina prohibition law or any other lawwhich.concerns local affairs,in thisoranyotherState.:Of course there are many good peo-ple who so exalt the prohibition of theliquortrafficthattheywillregretthatGov.Wilson is not an out-and-out-pro=L ..hibitionist.If he lived in North Caro-lina he doubtless would be;and if helivedinNorthCarolinahewouldop-pose Mr.Settle’s local option plat-form,for he has distinctly said thathedoesnotbelievethismattershouldbemadeapoliticalissue.But underdifferentenvironmentitis_not sur-prising that the Governor favors lo-cal option.Many people who have nopatiencewiththeliquortraffichaverealizedthedifficultyofprohibitingthetrafficinurbancommunities,But how about Col.‘Roosevelt andPresidentTaft?Do either of thesegentlemenfavorprohibition?We havenoideaeitherdoesandfeelsafein In North Carolina are many Republi-cans who are’earnest and sincereprohibitionists,who vote for prohibi-tion at every opportunity.They will |Rand’s brightvoteforTaftorRoosevelt.

The Haywood County Apple Crop. Asheville Citizen, Despite the fact that the apple | crop in Haywood county is the largest this year ever recorded,the members of the Haywood County Fruit Grow- ers’Association are receiving $3.50 a barrel for their apples,;f.0,b.Waynes- ville.This more~‘than double the average price,50 cents-,per bushel, now being received in the same place for apples of the same quality which have not been sorted and packed ac- cording to.the rules of the associa- tion. Fully 200 car loads of eee will be shipped this year from Waynes- ville by members of the association, while as many others,probably,willbeshippedfromthereindependently.

The Landmark recently mentionedthatthehomeofDr.Tyre York,in Wilkes county,had been entered by robbers and some bonds stolen from a trunk.The Wilkesboro Patriot of last week tells the story as follows: “Some weeks ago some one enter- ed the home of Dr.-¥York,at Trap- hill,‘took from a.trunk four North Carolina State bonds.of $500 each, aggregating $2,000.On-each bond were three coupons for interest:al- ready due.The thief was generous, however,for he left 12 other bondsaggregating$6,000 untouched.©Dr. York offers $500 reward for the thief and bonds,or $250 for either.This reward,Dr.York says,will be good for the next 50 years either by him- self or his administrator and he has placed the money in the bank for that purpose.He did not make known his loss immediately upon discovering it, but notified many banks to be’on the lookout for the coupons,should any attempt to cash them in.Dr.York does not propose to take ‘ary chances lin future,for he has had his remain- ing bonds and valuable papers put in bank vaults for safe keeping.” When “Old York,’as he used to call himself,served a term in Congress it is said he ‘saved practically.all his salary—$10,000 for the two years, }eash in the bonds.

Much LitigationnAbout a Big Lot of Yadkin County Liquor That ‘Has,Aroused Much Feeling. The 26,000 gallons of liquor stor-ed at Williams,‘Yadkin county,’since’1905,and:which ‘should be ripe andmellow‘by this time,has been a.bone of’contention for a lon.time andtheendisnotyet,In fact the situa The liquor was ade 3and stored ‘at >.Foster.Mr. uor.The liquor was’seized by the government:for ‘sqme irregularitiesbutwasreleasedonthematterbeingadjusted.More than two-years ago the liquor was again seized for otherdiscovered,and was libeled and judgment given in favor of the government for about $15.000, which was paid and the liquor again released.Then .the question arose whether the sureties for Williams prior to this seizure were still liable or whether new bonds should be re- quired.The Commissioner of Internal ordered that new bonds should be given.The order was notcompliedwithandCollectorBrown, acting under orders from Mr. Cabell,the revenue commissioner, seized the'liquor and advertised it for sale.Mr,Williams made the plea that the bonds were still good.The case went before Judge Boyd,who held with Williams and issued an in- restraining the sale.Theappealedand_Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Boyd. When this decision was handed down, Commissioner Cabell again instructed Collector Brown to seize and sell theliquor.The sale was to take place inJuly.Williams made application to Judge Pritchard,Judge Boyd being absent,setting forth that he was ready to give the new.bond.JudgePritchardissuedan.order restraining the sale but when the bond was pre- sented by Williams it was not execut- ed according to the regulations and Collector Brown declined to accept “it. The case was continued from time to time.Then Commissioner Cabell made an order abolishing the government warehouse at Williams and ordering. the liquor transferred to Louisville, Ky.This order was made under sec- tion 8272 of the internal revenue laws,which authorizes the commis- sioner to order such a transfer when- ever in his opinion the goods are con- sidered unsafe or liable to waste,and the owner of the liquor is compelled to bear the expense of transfer.No- tice was given to Mr.Williams of the order,the expense of transfer was not met and again Collector Brown, under order of the commissioner, seized the liquor and advertised it to be sold next Monday,30th.This be- ing another ¢ase,Judge Pritchard’s injunction did not apply.Meantimethebondsfortheliquorwereproper- ly executed but after the order of the commissioner had been made abolish- ing the warehouse at Williams. Last Saturday at Greensboro Wil-liams’attorneys appeared before Judge Boyd and.asked leave to file amended bill.In making the motionJudgeBynumsaid,as reported by the Greensboro News,that Commissioner Cabell had refused to see Bynum and Strudwick,attorneys for Williams; that when Williams and R.H.Me- Neill,an attorney of Washington, called on the commissioner he refused to see’Williams and told Mr.McNeill that if Bynum and Strudwick entered his office he would throw them out or have them thrown out;and it is” also alleged that Cabell made threats of impeachment proceedings against Judges Pritchard and ‘Boyd.It is reported that the commissioner’s an- ger was kindled against Attorneys Bynum and Strudwick on account of certain allegations they had made against him in connection.with the bonds required of Williams,In their amended complaint Willianis’attor- neys charge that Commissioner Cabell is actuated by malice against Wil- liams.The government was to make answer yesterday and Judge Boyd is expected to decide before Monday. junction Visit of Presbytery Delegates to Statesville College.The delegates to Concord Presby- »tery spent about two:hours at the college Wednesday evening,coming to Statesville on the 6:20 train and re- turning to Loray on the 8:30 train._They were transported to and from the depot in automobiles..A com- mittee of the officers of the.First Presbyterian church met-them at the college and a general reception byPresidefitScott,members of the fac- ulty and students was held in the library.Thé visitors were then show- ed over the college plant by commit- tees from the Statesville church and after the inspection all were invited ‘into the dining 106m,where a ban-quet spread was served.Rev.Dr.Byron Clark,of Salisbury,was toast-master and there were fitting re-sponses.by members of ;the party.

Licentiate J.W.Roseborough was received on ‘certificate from Charles-ton Presbytery and he and Licenti- ate J.C.Grier were examined on the usual parts and heard preach, after which Presbytery ordainedthem:to the gospel ministry.Mr.Grier is to become pastor of Thya- tira and Back Creek,while Mr.Rose- borough.is to be evangelist in Yan- cey ik Mr.A.B.Gibbs,of Statesville,andMr.E.G.Bird,of Mississippi, students at Davidson College,in the freshman class,were received under care of Presbytery as candidates fortheministry.Rev.W.M.Sikes was received from Wilmington PresbyteryandistobecomepastorofNewton and Sherrill’s Ford chur¢hes. Most.encouraging reports.were made to Presbytery from Davidson College,Statesville Female College and Lees-McRae Institute,the three educational institutions in which it 1s chiefly concerned. Rev:W.M.Walsh presented the claims of Barium Springs orphanage.Great improvements have been made there,but Synod has not yet done the great things promised for the Home a year ago.The promise’ stands,however,and will be abund- antly fulfilled within the next 12 months,Concord Presbytery doing her full share.There must be a cow barn provided before the winter sets in or Mr.Walsh thinks we may be liable for cruelty to animals. An.interesting exhibit was a map of Newlands,the county seat of the new county of Avery.It seems that, for once,Presbyterians may be the first on the ground in a new town, they alone so far having secured a lot and having some money’on hand for the building.The town is laid out on the “Old Fields of Toe”’—lands supposed to have been cleared by In- dians,about 200 acres,said to be verybeautiful, Perhaps nothing called forth such interest as a proposition sooking.to the division of Presbytery along the western boundary of Alexander and Iredell counties.This would create a Presbytery west of the Catawba river that would have a Jarge worktodoand,apparently,not much to do with.But with the assistance of the older Presbyteries many think itwould,like Asheville ‘and.King’s’ Mountain Presbyteries,which were similarly cut off,do more to~develop its territory than has so far been done.This is a»matter which Synod alone has power ‘to decide,but it was discussed in Presby tery as one vitally concerning,it. Presbytery seems to be determined to pay off the debt on Statesville Female College—more so than ‘ever after experiencing,Wednesday eve- ning,the delightful hospitality of Statesville Presbyterians and the col- lege.The members were transport- ed in a body from Loray to the col- lege,met the teachers and students,looked over the plant,ate a bountiful and delightful supper and made {speeches showing appreciation of thecollegeand.determination to relieve it from its incubus of debt.
