But good farming does not consist merely in deep plow- ing and proper cultivation unless your land is rich,very much richer than the average land in this section.The judicious use of the right kind of Fertilizer is just as im- portant as good plowing,and you will find that the most successful farmers are the largest users of commercial Fertilizers. Commercial Fertilizer is the Cheapest Commodity Today Used in connection with farming and,compared with farm products now and ten years ago,when corn was 35c.to 50c.per bushel,cotton 5c.to 6c.per potind,Fertilizers may be used nearly three times as heavy as then for,if paid for in farm products (leaving out the money value of either)a given amount of corn or cotton will pay for nearly three times the amount of Fertilizer it would have paid for ten years ago.Be honest now,feed your land like you ought to feed your horse and you will get results.We expect to offer some prizes for the best yields of corn and cotton and will announce the plan later.Our down-town representatives,Messrs.Geo.M.Aus- tin and H.L.Stevenson,will be found at the StatesvilleHardware&Harness Co.and Sherrill &Reece’s,re- spectively.Yours for better farming and bigger crops.

CRUSHED BENEATH FALLING TREE. Lawreace May,Saw Mill Employee,Fa- tally Injured While CuttingTimber. Mr.Lawrence May,who was well known to this section as a saw mill employe,was‘crushed beneath the trunk of a large tree Saturday morn- ing about 8 o’clock:-and so badly in- jured that he died Saturday evening about 6 o'clock.The fatai accident occurred in-the woods on the.J.J. Nicholson farm,on the Turnersburg road,sbree miles from towao,where May was assisting otber membersof a saw mill crew in felling trees.A large tree had been felled but the branches beld the trunk several feet above the ground and May got under the trunk e@ith his axe to cut the branches.When the obstructions were removed the heavy tree fell so suddenly that the woodman did not bave time to ge?out of the way and he was knocked down and pinned to the ground,face downward,the tree lying across the back of bis head acd sboulder.Realizing their ina bility to rescue their comrade,the other woodmen ran to the saw mill for belp and it was 15 or 20 minutes before enough men were secured to lift the tree from the unfortunate man.Mr.Will Watt was pass- ing through the woodsenroute home from town just after the accident oc- curred,while the men bad gone to the saw mill for belp,and his atten- *tion was attracted to May by his borses becoming frightened at the struggies of she victim,who was struggling furiously.Mr.Wattbad started in search of beip when the men arrived from the mili. Dr.W.J.Hill,of Statesville,was summoned by ‘'poone and reached the woods a short time after May was taken from under the tree.Itwasrealizedatoncethatthemanwas most probably fatally injured,butin order that be migbt.be given the best attention possibie he was brought to Billingsley hospital for treatment.He cever regained con- sciousness and death relieved his suffering aout 6 o'clock. The deceased was about 35 years old and unmarried,He came tothis section years ego from Alexander county,abd bad since been engeged in saw mill work in various localities in the county.He is survived by one brother,who iives at Rock Hill, S.C.The remains were taken to Rose Chapel,Bethany township, Sunday for interment.

We still maintain that Governor Kitchin,with the facts before him, acted humanely in commuting Shem- well’s sentence,but the man has proven himself totally incapable of appreciating a humane motive @nd has vindicated the estimate get upon him by his most vindiotive enemy.If there is any law to reach bim (and we think there is)Shem well should be made to suffer its extreme penalty.Both therailroads and the traveling public are entitled to pro- tection from bullies of the Shem wel! stripe. Shemwell was entitied to no con- sideration in the first instance.Io repeating his train hold-up perform- ances he has done just what might have been expected.It does seem that in the light of his past perform- ances the Governor might have ex- pected just this thing.Shemwell feels himself above al!restraints that govern the average man and he has not only been permitted but encour- aged to do as he pleases. a & Adverting tothis paper’scriticism of the Greensboro recorder for let- tingaman off with a fine of $who had told two witnesses,inthe recor- @er’s court,that they had sworn falsely,the Greensboro Record says: And yet we believe Tue Lanp- MARK was one of the papers that helped to defeat a judge of theSupe- rior Court on the ground that he was cruel in his sentences.| This statement does Tue Lanp- MARK agreat injustice.JudgeShaw is dobutless the judge referred to, ang anybody who read this paper while Judge Shaw was on the bench a ._knows that he had no warmer friend or more loyal supporter;and this peper said,again and again,that his deteat was a severe blow to law en- forcement and to the cause of justice.

The general prosperous condition of the railroads and the bigh cost of living are given as the reasons for the increase announcad by both com- panies. A Newspaper Change.

Milk Dealers Must Have Cows Tested Each Year. In March,1909,the board of alder- men of Statesville passed an ordi- nance,effective April 1st,1909,re- quiring all persons selling or offer- ing to sell milk in Statesville,who bave more than one cow,to have their cows examined and a proper suberculean test made.The ordi- fiance provided thateach milk dealer must secure a license from the city tax collector—no charge being made for the license;that the license must be renewed each year,and before the issuance of any license the ap- plicant must present a certificate from a registered veterinary show- ing that the cows have been as required, The question has been asked whether this test must be madeeach year,and the above showsthat year- ly examinations are required.Li- cense is issued for one year and be- fore the license can be renewed an- other test must be made toshow that the cows are in proper condition.

There is another point to be taken | THE CELEBRATED ahn Deere Cotton and Com Planter. {nto consideration,and it is to this that I wish to direct attention.At the time Dr.Alexander speaks of, our sails were in bester condition than they are now.The old custom of clearing new landevery year was then in vogue,and there was On ev- ery {arm enough “fresh”jand to pro- duce the corn crop.There are yet two other factors that must be con sidered in favor of the farming of 25 years ago.One is that the ‘Boy Dixie’had not got in its work of de- struction,and the other is that the soi]bad not been depleted of plant focd by the constant growing of cot- ton.No improvement ever used on any farm has caused greater loss to the soils of our cotton States than this same ‘Boy Dixie.”’This little plow runs only two to four inches deep and the resultof its use,togeth- er with the constant cropping of cot- ton,where this plow is or has been used most,bas caused land to wash very badly. Formerly it was the custom of many farmers of this section to grow clover to renovate their soils,but this bas been superseded by the sowing of peas,to the great disad- vantage of the farmer.Not that the cow pea is not agreat soil renovator, but that our farmers have depended upon the pea almost entirely and neglected clover.The use of cow peas admits of a sborter rotation, usually a crop each year,whereas the clover crop demands the use of land two years.The peavine hay is so valuable as a feed for stock that the vines are always cut and cured for hay,and the ground left bare for the nextcrop.Thesoil growsabet- ter crop alter the peas,but it only draws from the sum total in the soil, and without the constant additionof humus into the soil,it necesaarily becomes less productive.E.S.Mriuusaps.<iemisitaamatateminoanait Gev.Kitchin and the Pardoning Power. Asheville Citizen. It is said that Governor Kitchin does.not take kindly to the press criticisms concerning bis action in the Shemwell matter,but we feil to see where he has any cause to feel thathe has been unjustly used.The history of this most unusual case presents features that could not call for any commendation,since they pointout all too clearly the weakness of a law which permits executive in- terference of unlimited nature with the action of the higher courts. We are not entering into the mer- its of the Shemwell melee which brought the case into public notice, Had it not been for the Governor's extraordinary interferences,the case would doubtless have gone the way of all brawlsof thatnatureand would have been forgotten.But Governor Kitchin’s arrest of judgment in the first case,and bis final commutation of the sentence,bave drawn public attention to the extremes to which the pardoning power can be carried. The unrestricted and ill-advised use of the prerogative can hardly be said to bave a deterring effect on the criminally inclined,and is is doubt- ful if the Governor can findany great amountof endorsementof the manner in which he has used is since his election to the highest cffice within the gift of the people.

But good farming does not consist merely in deep plow- ing and proper cultivation unless your land is rich,very much richer than the average land in this section.The judicious use of the right kind of Fertilizer is just as im- portant as good plowing,and you will find that the most successful farmers are the largest users of commercial Fertilizers. Commercial Fertilizer is the Cheapest Commodity Today Used in connection with farming and,compared with farm products now and ten years ago,when corn was 35c.to = 50c.per bushel,cotton 5c.to 6c.per pound,Fertilizers may be used nearly three times as heavy as then for,if paid for in farm products (leaving out the money value of , €either)a given amount of corn or cotton will pay for nearly three times the amount of Fertilizer it would have* paid for ten years ago.5 Be honest now,feed your land like your horse and you will get results. We expect to offer some prizes for the best yields of corn and cotton and will announce plan later.

A’few montbs ago the refusal of ‘the Pope of Rome to receive ex-vice President Fairbanks unless Mr, Fairbanks would agree not to deliv- er an address atthe American Metho- dist church in Rome,attracted the attention of thecountry.While Mr. Fairbanks had not been a person to excite enthusiasm,the heart of the American public—or at leastof those Americans who appreciate the mean: ing of liberty—warmed to him when he promptly declined the conditions iaid down by the Popeand delivered the address which he had agreed to @eliver at the Methodist church.In view of this attitude of the Pope, the American public has been anx- ious to see how Mr.Roosevelt would meet the situation when he got to Rome.Fxactly the same conditions were*laid down and Mr.Roosevelt thas met them in a manner worthy of American citizenship,He will not gee the Pope.In February Mr. Roosevelt wrote the American am- bassador at Rome with reference to an audience with the Pope and the King of Italy on the occasion of his visit to Rome.The reply was that the ‘‘Holy Father”would ‘be de- lighted to grant an audience to Mr. Roosevelt on April 5,and hopes that amothing will arise to preventit,such asthe much-regretted incident which made the receptionofMr.Fairbanks day it was learned that this was Within having been intimated that thestoryintheGreensboroNewsofthe1st—printed on another page of Tus ter Shemwel!compelling a fast train to stop for him at Lexington,was afake,the News of Saturday containsthefollowing: A thorough.investigation yester- day not only verified the exclusive story in yesterday's News relative to the conduct of Baxter ShemwellontrainNo,38 Thursday night,but revealed the additional!fact that onatleastoneotheroccasionsincethe matter of commutation has been pend-ing he bas attempted to pursue his highbanded methods in interrupting Southern railway schedules forthroughtrains.

Baxter Shnewwell gave Governor Kitchin an evidence of gratitude lastpightwhenheforcedConduptorR A.Tucker and Dispatcher Clerk toatopSouthernrailwayfasttrainNo, 38 at Lexington,a station not ached- uied as a regular stop.The affair was desoribed by pas- sengers on No.38 lastnight as simi-lar t0 the one between Shemwell and Conduotor Smithers,which resultedinthepresentplightofShemweli and the awkward positionofGovern-or Kitchin,except thatShemwel!ac- complished bis purpose last nightwitnouttheuseofweapons,though he is said to have issued hia com- mands to stop in atone that could not have been mistaken.The story told by passengers and Conductor Tucker ‘upon the arrival of No,38 Jas night was that shortly after leaving Charlotte Conductor Tuoker,who had just taken charge of the train,came through the car for tickets and that upon receiving Shemwell’s ticket he noticed thar is was markedto Lexington.“T am sorry,Mr.Shemwell,butthistraindoesnotstopatLexington. You will have togetoffat Salisbury,’’ is the way Conductor Tucker is re- ported to have stated the matter. ‘*Yes,it will stop there,’’Mr. Shemwell is reportedto have repliedinathreateningtone. “Under my instructions I cannot stop,but wili ask the dispatcher at-Greensboro for instructions io this case,’’replied Conductor Tuck- r.‘*You won't ask him anything and you will stop this train for me at Lexington tonight,”is the reply Shemeell is said to have made, while at the same time he jumped upandinamannerthatcoyldnotbe mistaken retreated to the rear of the car.Reaching Concord,Conductor Tueker wired Dispatcher Clark here for instructions,stating that Shem-well had demanded that he stop histrainatLexington.In the,maantime Shemwel!is said to have remained in the rear of the car,Conductor Tucker carefully avoiding approach- ing him or bringing on trouble, though he had the assurance of passengersthatanyhelpneededwould be forthcoming.pee <“Run your trainon instructions avd not Shemwell's orders,’’Dis- patcher Clark is reported to have instructed Mr.Tucker. Conductor Tucker then explained thas Shemwell was plainly in a des-perate mood and that to refvseto stop for him would mean trouble,though he said he was ready to oar- ry out intructions,regard)oftroubletohimseiforShemwell. Fearing possible troubleand wish- irg to avert anything in the nature ef a possible sbooting affair oa histrain,Dispatcher Clark then ip- stryoted Conductor Tucker to stop So.38 at Lexington and let Mr. Scemwell off and these orders were carried out,Sbemwell making no furtber demonstration.Is was stated thatShemwell board- ec No.38 at Atlanta,and that in gaining admission to the train»rough the union station gates he di-played a ticket with a punch ataregularstopforthefasttrain.He also had a ticket from Birminghamto Lexiagton,which entitled him to passage on train No,12,which niakes 8 reguiar stop at Lexington,bub Sh+mwell didn’t like riding on No.12 so after getting through the gates and aboard No.38 he is reported tohavepulledforththeticketmarked Lex'ngton,a scheme similar to.one oftea attributed tohimin giving rail- way ecbeduies and conductorstrouble.Naturally the conductors along the line made no kick,thoughpossiblytheyinformedhimthathewouldbavetogetoffatthenearest stationtoLexington.It ismorethan likely,bowever,that they did not kno w Shemwell and passed him alongwitsoutquestion.At any rate he reached Charlotte and fell into Con- duc'or Tucker’s hands and finallysteypedfromthetrainatLexingtonastuoughbewassettingfootonthe concrete platform of the Washington or Greensboro station. Shemwell wag returning from Bir- mingham. Shemwell Went to Jail Friday—Had No “Unpleasant Words”With Conductor. Gr boro Dispatch,1st,to Winston Sentinel. Baxter Shemwell arrived here this morning from his homein Lexingtonandisnowservinghisfivedays in the Guilford county jail.He was accompanied here by his son,Der-mots Shemwell.The father and gon came in on train No.44,whicharrivedat9.05.They went direct to the court house,where the father surrendered to Sheriff Jones.Thesonpaidovertothecourtclerk$500fineimposedbyGov.Kitchin and the cost of the action,amounting to $120.-70.Baxter was then escorted tothe jail and locked up.Theson arrang-ed with the sheriff to have the fath- er’s meals sent up from the hotelwhileheisinprison.He will]alsousehisowncotandbedclothing.Dermott Shomwell gaveouta state- ment anent the report that his fatherforcedtheconductortostopthefast Southern traia from Atlanta in Lex- ington lastnight,Hedenied thatany unpleasant words were passed be-tween the conductor and Baxter Shemwell,but it is admitted that Stemwell,inleaving Atlanta yester- day,got through the gates and boarded the fas?train,when heshouldhavewaitedforthelocal. Knowing Shemwell's reputation thedispatcherat-Greensboro,when ask- led by the conductor what he should “ xington rather than risk having Greensboro Record,1st. Wish reference to the report that Baxter Sbemwell caused sorthboundtrainNo.38 to be stopped at Lexing- ton Jast nightin order toat bemightgetoffonbisreturnfromAtlanta, Sbhemwel!l made n0 statement,but hissonstatedtoaRecordmanthatthere was absolutely no foundation for the report;that it was positively false; that there was no controversy what- ever between his fatber and the oon- ductor and that nothing was saidaboutitbyeither,but that his father simply bought a ticket in Atlanta, boarded the train and when itarriv- ed at Lexington the conductor pulledthebellcord,the train stopped and his father got off.Oa tbe other band Chief Dispatch er Clark received a telegram last eyeoing from Conductor Tucker,in charge of train No.33,iaforming himthatBaxterShemweliwasapassea ger on his train witha ticketto Lax- ington and asking if he should stopthetrainthereasdJethimgetoff. Chief Dispascher Clark wired back thai it was against the rules to stop No.28.a1 Lexing- ton and for him ns 60 stop it at that point.Later Mr.Ciark learn- ed thas Shem well’s ticket read from Birmingham to Lexington and rather tnan bave any trouole with him, possibiy’a shooting scrape,and kvowing that be must be here this morning to beginhis jail sentence and that be wanted to stop at Lex- ington to get the clothes he would need,Mr.Clark wired to Conductor Tucker to stop the train at Lexing- ton and let Shemwell get off. The Hour of Democratic Opportunity atHand. New York Dispatch,March 20, The political tide is pow turning Democratic and the day when the Democratic party must take charge of this country’s affairs is almost at hand,were declarations made by Woodrow Wilson,president of Princeton University,in a speech at the Democratic dinner in Elizabeth, N,J.,tonight.Mr.Wilson outlined the character of legislation which the Democrats should give thecoun- try to meet the present economic problems.After stating that hethinks“it possible to state thechar- acter we should wish to give the legislation,’’he casgtinued:“Tn the first place,we should wish rot merely to curb the trusts,and above all we should not wish to reg-ulate them in such a way as will make them either partners or crea- tures of the government itself.We should wish to square their whole action and responsibility with the general interest.Our regulations of public interests must be legal regu: lation and not direcf management.“'Tr'the second place,it is clearly ouf duty so soon as we get the op- portunity to take the government out of the business of patronage,the business of granting favors andprivileges,of arranging the laws so that this,that or the other group of men may make large profits out of their business,and draw it back to the function of safeguarding rights, general,not particular rights,therightswhichmakenotsomuchfor the ‘prosperity’which enables smal! groupsof individuals to pile upenor- mous fortunes,as for a general stim- ulation,a universal opportunity forenlightenmentandjustice.I am thinking,of course,of tariff legisla- tion."He then declared that the policy of protection bas long since,as dealt with by Congress,ceased to be a policy of protection and become a policy of patronage. ESS Mother Rabbit Chased the Cat—Feling Had Baby Bunny. Wadesboro Messenger,March 28. The strong maternal feeling in allwildanimalswasnevermorestrik- ingly illustrated than yesterday morning,when the remarkablespec-sacle of a rabbit chasing acat was ob- served by several parties.The cat belongs to Dr.J.M.Covington,who lives on the Camden road,and Is a great hunter.About 100’clock yes-terday morning,as Paul Boylin and Tommie Ingram were riding alongtheroadinthedirectionofthepost office,they saw the cat crossing the road from Mr.H.H.McLendon’s ryepatch,with a young bunny in its mouth.Immediately behind thecatcamethemotherrabbit,following the feline into Dr.Covington's yard. About this time the boys jumped from the buggy and also gavechase,the cat going into Dr.Covington’s house and the rabbit back to the field.The boys followed thecatinto the house and rescued the baby rab-bit alive,after wards carryingit back {nfo the field in which it was cap- tured,where,probably,it was later found by the anxious mother.

DR.ANDERSON THE “CHAMPEEN”. He Stoed on the Deck Whence All Oth- ers Had Fled attheSpelling Bee Tues- day Evening—Ana Interesting and Prof- itable Event. Dr,Thos.E.Anderson was pro- claimed King of the Spelling Bee at the court house Tuesday night and the ladies of Broad Street Methodiss church,under whose auspices it was beld,realized about $35 from the en- tertainment. The attendance was large and at- tentive.Mr.Dorman Thompson oc- cupied the judge's chair and gave out the words from a Biveback spell- er,When be called the house to order be announced that Dr.Thos. E.Anderson and Rev.Harold Turner bad been selected as captains of the opposing forces.The said captains came forward to the center of the court bar,made their manners and called for volunteer spellers.No responrcos.~*Then cartain persons wexe called from the sudience and as they were picked alternately by the captains they were lined up on opposite sides of the court bar. When each captain bad secured elev- ea assistants the battieof logomachy was called. In the forecast of the resu!ts of the battle,by she audience generally,it was admitted that Captain Ander- son’s team was the better looking, but for spelling it was freely pre- dicted that he would lose easily to Captain Turner and bis assistants. Some of the privates In Captain An- derson’s ranks were prepared for defeat until they saw their captain prop bimseif up sgaicst the clerk's desk.They knew then that Captain Anderson would be there to the fin ish,even if they bad to bring bis breakfast to him nex)morning. When Mr.Thompson passed out the first few licks,as he called them, Captain Anderson's ranks began to thin and betting was against bim. But soon Captain Turner's side be- gan to tumbie until the sides stood five all.Finally Captain Turner and his only assistant were stumped and retired to their seats,leaving Captain Andersonandone assistant, Mr.W.T.Nicholson,standing.For some minutes Captain Anderson atood leaning on the desk to see if all his opponents had vamosed. The bout lasted about 30 minutes. Some of the speliers went into the game with a confident sir,smiling in cortemplation of carrying off the honors;but notwithstanding an ‘‘as- sumacy"’worthy of admiration,they went down easily,while some notso sure of themselves stayed longer. Some were sure they had spelled the word right and were misunderstood, which made the event more like a real match atschool where ambitious children are disappointed—men and women being but children grown. The prize,a copy of the Blue back,was awarded to Dr.Ander- son. How the Goat Made Mr.Boyd Jump.

Murphy was druok and Dupree, under orders,attempted to take him to a darkcell.Murphy was ugly and Dupree struck him with his fist, the convict dying in a shorttime.Is was alleged that the blows caused Murphy’s death,but the defence contended that Murphy being phys- ically disabled and under the influ- ence of drugs at the time,his death resulted from 6xcitement and not from blows.The jury seemstohave this view. Now that this case is out of the way,the penitentiary management should try to find out how inmates of the State prison get liquor on which to get drunk. CanGet It After Forty Years of Prohi- bitioa.

The refusal of the Pope of Rometo receive Mr.Roosevelt except on condition that he would promise not to visit the American Methodist church in Rome,and the prompt re- fusal of Mr.Rooseve)t to accept the condition,bas,as was expected, attracted world-wideattention.The loyalty of the Catholics to their Church is proverbial and inthe main they will of course approve the course of the Pope.The course of Mr.Roosevelt receives the general approbation of the non-Catholic world,while some Catholics wi}!eith- er silently approve his position or regret that the Pope took the course be did.Bishop Edward J,O'Dea, af the Catholic diocese of Seattle, Wasb.,takes the position that both the Pope and Mr.Roosevelt were within their rights;that the Pope has a right to Jay down conditionsas to visitors and that Mr.Rooseveltex- eroised the privilege of an American citizen in refusing the conditions. That is a sensible conclusion. *2a The Rev.Dr.J.Ernest Thacker, of Norfo!k,a Presbyterian evange!- ist,recently canducted a meeting at the First Presbyterian church ‘of Durham,and on the |ast night of the mecting,the newspaper reports say the subject of bis discouse was,‘Is the world growing better?’Weare informed by the same authority that Dr.Thacker took the affirmative of this subject and as evidence thatthe world is growing better cited (we are quoting from the newspaper re- port of bis sermon)‘‘the prosecution of big cfficials,trust limitations and corporated restraint.'’These he pointed out ss characteristic of the time and the raising of political stan- dards to meet more nearly the per- sonal ideal.These,thinks Dr. Thacker,are most encouraging ten- dencies of the times.Ali this igen- coureging and itis encouragingto hear it from the pulpit.But sbis is preliminary to ssying that while Dr. Thacker may or may not haveknown it,she discussion of trust imitations and corporate restraint is a rather delicate matter in Durbam,and in that same Presbyterian church in which the doctor was talking it might bave been regarded as some- what persons).The dootor should know that trust rapacity and cor- porate greed areactually defended by some of the.shurcbes aod educa- tional institutions ®hich have profit- ed by donations from the gainsofthe aforesaid;in otber cases there is a silence so dense that it can’t be penetrated,or an apology for the wickedness.But in all cases,even where the wickedness is fully and freely admitted,always the philan- thropy is mentioned and there is more praise than blame.

Other Side ‘of An Automobile Distarb- gmce—A “Geatlemenly Fight” Tas Lanpmark printed the other day 80 item to the effect that while ‘Dr,Wexer Smathers was motoring (“motoring’”’takes less apace than “siding in an automobile’’)from Adbéville to Hendersonville to attend agood roads meeting,a citizen in a buggy zigzagged scross the road to er the doctorpaeing him;shat nally when the doctor did get by the buggyman “cut at him’’or ‘‘cut bim’’with the whip,whereupon Dr. Smathers stopped his ‘‘motoring”’ long enough to take the whip from the buggyman and horsewhip him, sotospeak.That wasoneside.Here is the other from the Asheville Citi- 0: “Ts develops that the occupant of the buggy was Mr.C.A.Bynum, ope of the mosthigbly respected res- {dents of Fietcher,who’had his wife in the buggy with him.He admits gtriking Dr.Smathers.with his bug- gy whip as the machine passed,be- ing angered at the moment by what he thought was the disregard of his warning to the motorists.Mr.By- pum says that he had a horse that was not very gentle and he motioned the motorists not to approach,as he was nearing the railroad track and bis borse was skittish.They disre- garded his signals,be claims,and this angered hia.for the moment.He gays that he did not try to *hog’the road and if his horse did zigzagatall ie was because it was frightened. “Thera was no ‘walloping,’he says,as was stated by some of the party,but just agentiomanly fight.’’ If Mr.Bynum has bis facts right as to the horse and the railroad,the motorists were clearly in the wrong and violated the law.Not only 80, their conduct was outrageous,secing that Mr.Bynum wasaccompanied by bis wife,and bisanger under the cir- cumstances was excusable. Iv is a pleasure to learn,however, that the fight was a “gentlemanly one.”’| Governor Pardons Defaulting Sheriffof Sampeon. D.Raleigh News and Observer,5th.

Unusual interest is attachedtothe case of Aman,who was indicted at the February and April,1907,terms of the criminal court of Sampson county of embezzling approximately $20,000.He was tried andconvicted at the October,1908,termof Sampson court and sentenced to four years in the State prison.Last yearn efforts as made to secure his pardon,but Mie application was denied by the Governor,and a further effort was made to have the sentence commuted to confinement on the roads,bus the Governor also refused clemency in that inetance. |[Aman is pardoned on account of |the condition of hishealth and onac count of the demand for his pardon |from his home county.| Another Industrial School For North Car- olina.

Among the contributors was one estimable old lady who gave $70,000 with the promise that an old-time, one-room log cabin be built near the school so that sbe could watch the work and progress made in the work.

Senator Simmons Secures Another BigAppropriation. Washington Special,5th,toRaleigh Newsand Ob- eeryer. The Senate committee on commerce today adopted an amendment/to the River and Harbor bill authorizing the Secretary of War to purchase, widen and deepen to 12 feet the Al- bemarle and Chesapeake canal,or the Dismal Swamp canal,both of which are private toll canals leading from Albemarle Sound to Norfolk. This action was taken at the instance of Senator Simmons,who is a mem-ber of the committee.As theresult of the amendment the Secretary of War is authorized to purchase that one of these canals which may be reo- ommended by the board of engineers. This amendment is in effect oneappropriating$500,000 for a free ca- nal connecting the sounds of North Carolina with Chesapeake Bay.The estimated cost of widening and deep- ening the canal is one million five hundred thousand dollars.The tolispaidbyeasternNorthCarolinato these two private canals amounted last year to $105,000,and no}one- third of the commerce passed throughthemwhichwillpassthroughthe free canal. The purchase of this canal by the government and its improvement,to gether with the early completion of the canal from Pamlico Sound to Beaufort iniet,for which Senator Simmons secured an appropriation of$550,000 in the river and harbor act of 1907,will practically complete theinlandwaterwayfromNorfolkto Beaufort inles,giving afree outlettotheccean,both at Beauforsand Nor- folk,to North Carolina’s splendid sound ‘system of navigable waters, nearly three thousand miles inlength.. This amendment makes the amountwhichSenatorSimmonshadadded to the river and harbor bill,as passed by the House,$1,370,000,which added to the $390,000 appro- Priated in the House bill,makes thepresentriverandharborbillcarry$1,760,000 for North Carolina rivers and harbors.

The Cést WouldBe $4.te AcreandReclelmedLandFartHr~ of Agriculture some De-partment MakesAnIn-terestingStatementomLocal DrainageConditions.a ; Mr.A.K.Kipp,engineer of the United Sates Department of Agri- culture,who came to Statesville last week and made a brief examination of conditions on Third and Fourth creeks with a view to draining the creek bottoms,made a repors of hisobservationstothemeetingheldat the court house Monday to considerthedrainagework.His reportissointerestingthatTueLanpMARK prints itin full.After a fee pre- liminary remarks Mr.Kipp said:At the very outset!will state thatofallthedrainageprojectswhich| have visited in various parts of the United States,yours is one of the easiest,most feasible and most practicalthathascomeundermynotice. The reason is clear.In tte firstplaceyouallknowthatthebottom lands on these twocreeksarein their present state almost valueless,agri- culturally,and that they are thebreedingplaceofmosquitosandthe cause of malaria,chiils and fever,which have become prevalent in this section within the past five or six years.You also know that prior to the time when these streams were capable of taking care of ordinaryrainstorms,and she bottoms were subject to less frequent overflow than they are now,good crops were produced vpon these ssme bottomsandthey.were considered the best lands ip the county.Why tben should they now lie idle,when witbtheexpenditureof$4 to $5 per acre they can be reclaimed and made themostproductivelandsinthissec-tion of the State? I made brief,preliminary exami- nations of Third and Fourth creeksinthevicinityofStatesvillethelat- ter part of last week acd was atonceimpressedwiththepracticabilityof the project.I bave vo way of ac- curately estimating the number ofacresofbottomlandswhichwould be benefited by the construction ofcanalsdownthecenteroftheover- flowed area,or by the improvement cf the present channels,but judge bat there are between 7,500and 10,- 0:00acres on each of Third and Fourth cceeks in Iredeil county.How manymoretherewillbeinRowancounty I do not know for I have not yet beermie on the ground.The United Stajés Geological Survey mape,- that there is a fall of app mately 10 feet per mile on both creeks,and even at present,when the water is bsing impeded »yall kinds of debris, logs aod other obstrucsions in seme paces,it bas a velocity of from 3t05featpersecond,When we stop to cocsider thatin other parts of the ccuntry successful drainage is being accomplished on a fall of only sixinchestoonefootpermile,and in F orida as low as four inches per mile,{8 becomes self evident that here is fall a-plenty.Aiso when we witness in otber parts of the country cosals being constructed tbrough aimost impenetrable jungles and lerge timber,on swamp soi!of un- kuown value or productivenéss,the r clamation of your bottoms becomes a very simple matter by comparison.Third and Fourth creeks each have a vatersbed area of approximately 125 square miles,or adous 80,000ac:es.To provide for the removal of water to a depth of one inch over tb 3 entire areain 24 hours alter every considerable rainstorm,the ch:anels should be at least 20 feetw}a and six fees deep at the upper or vestern end of the county,and 40 foe:wide and eight feet deep as the Joo ar or eastern end of the county. Is is any wonder then thatthecreeks ove:fiow and spread out over she they are now only one-fourth or one- fifth as large as they should be? Tbe rolling character of the water- shed and the steep hills borderingthebottomscausethewatertofinditswayquicklytothebottoms,after rainstorms,and the new canals will paturally bave to be much larger ter and the run-off slower.Tocon-struct canals of sufficient sizeto pro-vide fora run-off of one inch in 24 hours would cost from $1,500 to $3,- 000 per mile,snd as there are from 300 «0 500 acres of land to be bene- fited by each mile of canal,the cost per acre would be from $4 0 $5.If such improvement would make the land rise in value to $60 to $100 per acre,itis needless to ask whetter you can afford to do this work,Youcanandyouwill. Twenty-five or 30 years ago it was impossible to drain such lands as these at acost within the limits ofagriculturalprofit,but this was be fore the perfection of the steam dredge.Today there are seventypesofmachineswithwhichitis possible to open up water courseswherenoneexisted,and to enlarge and otherwise improve channels for the protection of lands from over- flow,and what was formerly impos sible is-now accomplished for less than work of the mostsimpleand su-perficial kind prior to the advent ofthesemachines.An ordinary 14yarddipperdredge,slightly larger than the one now at work on Clark's creek,in Oatawba county,whichsomeofyouhaveseen,is the kind which should be used on this work. The Catawba dredge has a one-yarddipperandhasconstructedfive miles of canal 18 feet wide and 7 feetdeepin6months,running twoshiftsofmenevery24hours.This is al- most ata rate of one mile a month. dirt a month,whiob tg equivalent to ane mile of ditch 30 feay wide and 7 feet deep.This is slightly emailerthantheaveragesizeofcanaltobe excavated io Iredeli county,and at this rate it would require about twoyears%0 construct 20 miles,the length of the proposed canalein this county.If the South Yadkin river is also to be improved a larger machine,baving a toree or four-yard dipper, could be used,and in case this work were done first the larger machinecouldfinishthelowerendsofThird and Fourth oreeks and thus hasten matters considerably.The dredges should be started attheupperendsandworkeddown- stream for the reason that in so do-ing there will always beenough wa- ter in the channel!to keep thedredge afloat,while in digging up-stream it is often found necessary to maintain dams behind the dredge to keep itofftheground.The lack cf sufficientoutletsabeadofthedredgewhendig- ging down stream @i!)not binder the good effect of the cana!already con-structed because the fal)is so great that flooding afser heavy rains willonlybelocalaodat-a point eveo with and below the dredge.There bas been some comment upon tbefactthatthebanksoftheClark’s creek canal in Catawba county are cavirg in and causing considerabletrouble.This is bound wbethecase where the side slopes are cut verti- cally,as thoy are doing,and the waste banks deposited too c'ose to the edgeof thecanal.Ali ditchesex- cavated in such lands as your bot- toms should have side siopes of one to one or at an angie of 45 degrees, and they sbould bave a béam of not less than 10 or 12 feet.A beam is the spaceof level ground left between the edge of the spoil bank and the edge of the canal.With these pre-cautions there should be no caving. In the case of Third and Fourth creeks the new canals sbould follow the present streams excepting where the bends and crooks are too sharp, because the saving in yardage by this route will be considerabie.I found the streams in this vicinity quite straight,and as they are inmostcasesthedividinglinebetween property owners on opposite sidesofthebottoms,much dissatisfaction and perhaps litigation may be avoid- ed by having the new channels fo'-low the old courses.Itis true that the banks of the present streamsare somewhat higher than the bottoms at the foot of the bordering hills,but tbe ponds and pools lying back from tbe creek can be easily drained intothemaincanalbyditchingdiagonal-ly towarditdown-stream.Thetrib- utary creeks entering the main chan- nel at various intervals from both sides should also be straightenedandditched,but this work will scarcely be large enough to be done by the dredges.Teamsand scrapers can best be used for this purpose.The washing of sand from the bill- sides into the bottoms is the only serious factor to be contended witb. There will be but little clearing of right of way to bedone and few large stumps to be blasted by dynamite, end the prevention of sand enteringthecanalsaftertheyhavebeencon- structed may be accomplished in either one or both of the two follow- ing methods:The construotion of small dams acrossall branches where they reach the main bottoms willtemporarilycheckthevelocityofthe water coming down these branches and cause the sand and sedimentwhichiscarriedinsuspensiontobe dropped into catch-basins excavated on the up-stream side of the dams,and thus prevent the filling upof shes main channel.These catch.basins sbould be cleaned out from time to time as they become filled up.Tre other is the terrace method of hill-side cultivation,which.prevents washing of the hillside.Another plan which was suggested to me by Mr.Williams and which appears t> me to be a very practical one,is toplantahedgeatthefootofthehills bordering the bottoms.The hedge will stop the sand frombeingcarri into the bottoms and will become more and more effective as the hedgegrowsolderandlarger.This will perhaps be more effective than the dams and catch basins,but of course will be more expensive.The North Carolina State drainage law,which was passed by your Leg: islature last year,provides that a competent civil and drainage engin-eer shall be appointed to make the necessary surveys,plans,maps and specifications for the construction of all drainage canals for organized drainage districts.The success of any drainage schemes depends upon the proper design of the canals and tbeir location and acorrectexecutionoftheseplans.All other points in regard to the proper assessment of drainage taxa3,issuance of drainage bonds.e:c.,are clearly set forth in the Grainage law,with which you shou'd al!become familiar before organizing your drainage districts or before attempting to have special legislation passed,It is no doub’clear to you all that the work of enlargingand improving Third and Fourth creeks should be carried on into Rowan county,for the reason that if the improvement were stopped at the county line the flood conditions in Rowan county by meansof 4he improvement in Iredell county would become much worse than at present.

Tothe Editor of TheLandmark: Your many readers in Alexander county who sre interested in the coming election aod the railroad con pection between Taylorsville and Wilkesboro,or the road from Abing- don,Va.,via Wilkesboro,Taylors- villa and Newton to Charioste,read with interest your paper and take your advice in many matters.Now the writer is not,never bas beenand does pot expect or anticipate being a candidate,but bas for 30 yearsor more worked in and for the success and election of the candidates named by the Democratic party.I for.one in tbe ranks,not an officer or seeker for cffice,believe it time for Demo- crats of al]kinds and creeds to lay aside all minor differences and ges together for the election of ourcoun- ty,sevatorial,congressional and ju- dicial tickets at the coming election. Democrats who admired-and worked under the leadership of Grover Cleveland for economy and cleanii- ness in all departments and for bis recognition of the South as part of the Union;or followed that eloquent cbampion,William J.Bryan,for the rights of labor and all citizens,look at what the otber party now in pow- er has tomeetandinvestigate.When we had low prices under’President Cleyeland we could live cheaper. Now with high prices foreverything, wages have not advanced and many of our mills and factories are idle. Take a look at our counties where Democrats and Republicans are in control.Where do you find good roads,good county buildings,good schools?Who bas given your cbil- months’schools? Alexander county needs and wants another railroad.and we should ail work for the Taylorsville-Wilkesbero road or the Virginia Charlotte road. Either or both of these roads will do our town and county a great amount of good.The matter of politics is not Ro great as new or extended rail- road facilities for our people.Yet we have favorites for congressional and judicial candidates.While our county may have a candidate forthe Democratic nomination for Congress in our fellow-citizen,Jobn L.Gwalt ney,who is in every way fitted for the place and a fighter in the cam- paign,we hear that R.L.Doughton, of Allegbany county,L.C.Caldwell, of Statesville,and others may be intherace.Catawba has a candidateforjudgeinEB.Cline,of Hickory.

House of the i journs in Bac jan Revelry. Trenton,N.J.,Dispatch,10th, From nearly every pulpit in Tren-ton and other cities and towns in New Jersey there broke today a storm of denunc'ation of the astound. ing drunken orgy that marked the closing session of the 134sh Legisia- ture of the State.Briefly the details of the disorder that began in the Assembly chamber at Thursday midnight,as they bave come to light,will supply ground-work for an amazing Indictment of this closing session of the Assembly. It will be declared that a group of notoriously dissolute women of Tren- ton were brought to the Assembly and got a whole section of seats in the gallery,where they conducted themselves so shockingly by yelling so members below,hurling confettiatthemandsingingtothemthat decent women were forced to withb- draw.Among them were many young girl students from the State Normal school who attended ses- sions of the Legislature to study government.: Afterward,in a room off the gal- lery,the disreputable women,with members of the Lagislature and at- taches of the capitol,indulged inwildrevelry,with high kicking and hoochee cooches and Apache dances. All decency and restraint were abandoned,it is said. Foul phrases were fluog across the floor of the House and echoed | from the galleries.When the con-| fetti gave out the women took to| throwing books.Legislators stag- gered on the floor or slept at the desks in undisguisable intoxication. Drinks were served at the desks of members.The coarsest and most undignified acts of borse-piay and “rough house’were enacted and, all in all,the dignity of the State and the decency of the community, it is asserted,were flouted in a way unparalleled.The Church folke’anger is in- creased by the fact thatshe Legisla-ture defeated the loca!option bill,by which it was hoped to make much of New Jersey “dry,’’and voted for Sunday baseba!!and full license of all Sunday amusements.

Harrisbarg,Penn..Dispatch,9th. town,nine miles from this city,a manufacturing town of about 10,000 people.was swept by fire today, about 75 buildings being burned at a loss of about $400,000.The town was in danger for two hoursuntil by the combined efforts of firemen of this city,Lancaster,Columbia and Steelton,and the use of explosives, the spread of the fire was stopped. With the exception of about a doz- en buildings,such as the Y.M.C.

Most of the stores bad laid in large spring and summer stocks and noth- ing was saved.The fire was due toan over-hsated stove,used to burn the refuse of the market house. Dynamite Explosion Gets 15.

He kept ready money for the enter- gencies which so often develop in business aad he made it pay.Itis wéll if the money thus made is used to help those whose only recoursein distress is the money sharks.

For years John Allen,of Tupelo, Miss.,was a member of the Houseot Congress and was anational charac- teron account of his wit.He was known as ‘‘Private John’’Allen be- eause be claimed for himself that he was about the only man in publio life who was a privatein the Confederate army,all the rest being officers. Once or twice he was a candidate for the United States Senate but failed of election.He dropped out of public life and out of the public eye.Now he comes to thefrontas 8 participant in a poker game.The grand jury which is investigating the charges of bribery in connection with the election of a Senator by the Mississippi Legislature,is not only making inquiry about the use of money to contro]votes but is also askingembarrassing questions about gambling.‘Private John’’was a witness before the grand jury and when asked sbout.gambling he frankly confessed that he had par- ticipated in a ‘‘little game of draw,”’ as poker playing issometimes called. Thereupon warrants were issued for the Hon.John and his associates in the game. While this form of gambling is not to be excused,itis proper tosay that it is very commonamong legislators, ‘gnd others as well,and the Missis- sippi gentlemen were doing nothing out of the common when they were engaged in it.The fact that poker playing is common makes itnonethe less reprehensible,and especially reprehensible among men elected to months Mr.L.OC.Caldwell,of} Statesville,would be a candidate for nation,The formal announcement of his candidacy sppears in Tux LANDMARK today. The devil seems to do more active business on Saturday nights and Sundays than on other days.It is not unusual for Monday morning’s Charlotte Observer to report a car-nival of crime.Yesterday's Observ:er had its full quota of crimes and casualties. Today,April 12th,is a legal boli- day in North Carolina,it having been made so in commemoration of the resolutions of the Provincial Congress at Halifax April 12,1776. Editors Johnson,of Charity and Children,and Harris,of the Char- lotte Chronicle,are doubtlesstaking the day off,although they profess not to believe in State holidays. The Marion Democrat has a strong editorial advocating the renomina- tion of Judge M.H.Justice,of the fourteenth judicial district.Judge Justice’s term expires this year and an effort is being made to defeat him for renomination,which Tue Lanp- MARK hopes will fail.Inasmuch as Superior Court judges are elected by the people of the whole State and hold court in all the counties of the- State,they should be nominated by State conventions rather than by dis- trict conventions.It is often the case that experienced,able and pop- ular judges are defeated by politi- cians in district conventions,as was the case of Judge Shaw a few years ago.If the work of a judge was confined to bis home district people Outside the district would bave no right $0 pass on the matter,but un- der the circumstances the custom of maming candidates for judge is all wrong.

WUD FARMING PAYS But good farming does not consist merely in deep plow- ing and proper cultivation unless your land is rich,very much richer than the average land in this section.The judicious use of the right kind-of Fertilizer.is just as im- portant as good plowing,and you will find that the most successful farmers are the largest users of commercial Fertilizers. Commercial Fertilizer is the Cheapest Commodity Today Used in connection with farming and,compared with farm products now and ten years ago,when corn was 35c.to 50c.per bushel,cotton 5c.to 6c.per pound,Fertilizers may be used nearly three times as heavy as then for,if paid for in farm products (leaving out the money value of either)a given amount of corn or cotton will pay for nearly three times the amount of Fertilizer it would have paid for ten years ago. Be honest now,feed your land like you ought to feed your horse and you will get results.We expect to offer some prizes for the best yields of corn and cotton and will announce the plan later.

GROW HAIR!THEYi if Properly Com-Certain Ingredients, bined,Stimulate Hyman Hair Growth. Resorcin is one of the mosteftective germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta-napbtbol is a most powerful, yet absolutely safe germicide and an- tiseptic,which prevents develop- ment of germ matter,and creates a c!ean,healthy,condition. Pilocarpine,although pot a color- ing matter or dye,is an ingredient well established for ite power to re- store natural'color to human bair.Borax,because of its well-defined softening and cleansing properties, is most useful in the treasment of scalp and bair diseases.Glycerineactsasastimulanttothehairbulbs,and bas a soothing,bealing and nourishing influence.Alcohol isin dispensable in medicine because of its antiseptic,stimulating and pre- servative qualities.

Baltimore Sun. _Moral courage deserves ite monu- meate noless than physical prowess. Phere is no lack of tributes to the latter,but the former is not so well cared for.Yet,of the two,moral courage is unquestionably the more wortbyofesteem.Itrequires great- er strength of character and self-sacrifice than physical bravery. There is many a one less afraid of swords and bullets than of adverse public opinion or the loss of friends.Everybody admires the fearless soldier.There is a certain eclatabouthim.and his deeds thatgoes far to compensate the spirited and fame-loving man for his sacrifices,and seems to make it worth his while to risk even a life.But everybody does not always admire and,still less,love the manofstrong moral baekbone.Those whom heantagon-izee—and they are necessarily many —tre likely to bear anything but good will toward him.ot his the shining halo thatsurrounds thehead of the brave son of Mars.And yet, to express fearlessly one’s honest convictions when there is nothingtogainbuteverythingtolosethereby; fo stand up for them,and fight for them,with friend and foe alike;to beeome willingly for their sakes thepreyofmalignanttongues;to foregopopularity,and,if need be,sacrifice his very friends for whatheholdsto be right dnd just,is assuredly somethingmoregenuinelyheroicthan risking one’s lifa on the glorious field of battle.To espouse a popu- lar and winning cause {is no great feat,but to stand up bodily for jus-tice and truth when power and pel! are arrayed against then—that istheactcfaman.In atsempting to give dus credit to the morally cour-ageous we don’t,of course,include the ever ‘‘consistent’’man if by“oonsistency’’is meant igrorant self-opinionatedness,bull-headed- ness,or unreasoning obstinacy— and frequently that is just what is meant.Only the fool never changes his mind.The wise are ever thefirsttorecognizaandrectifyamis take when it is pointed out to them And they jose nothingthereby.Tuo very best of men,and the mogt hon est,have changed sides and Weliefs, apd the sensible people of the worid shougbt none the less of them for it. It is the weak,timid,changing ex- pression of an unchanged belief,the cowardly veering or backslidingdue to fear or influence,that merits cen sure.There may not bemuch inthe way of giare or glitter about the ma» who braves the anger of his asso clates in defense of his neighbor's good name,yet many a one whom nv bodily peril can stop or stay wii! balk at speaking out his mind when bie teilow:man’s reputation is beingtorn@otattersbythefoul,envenom- ed shafts of calumny.In what we bave said there is no wish to disparage martial ardor or prowess.Nor is there any danger that we could do soeven if we would. Iv is pot that we admire physica’ courage less,but that we love mora! courage still more.If we were aslavishInourrecognitionofmora! backbone as we are in raising shalis to the memories of famous soldiers, aod conspicuous examples of mate rial benefactions,it would perhaps go far toward implanting and foster ing in the rising generation a better than Spartan spirit—a love and ap preciation of the quality most de serving of their admiration and imi tation,aquality eminently conducivetothevery.best type of good citiaan-sbip..If this truto were duly em- phasized and impressed updo the youthful mind in the classroom,itwoulddomorebothfortheStateand the individual than all the ologies— with due respectto them—that were ever dreamedof.Even werethisthe only result of childbocd’s training,is would be somgthing weli worthwhile,and if the lesson were taken to heart and putin practice,is would do away with the,painful necessity of keeping everlasting tab on thechosenguardiansofthepublicinter ests,and literally forcing them,by fear of material or political losses,to do their bounden and sworn duty.

Ms,Taft Told Suftragiate He Wes Not in Favor of W.Hissed and He“Robuked WashingtonDispatch.1éth. The Prestdentof she UnitedStates, first Chief Executive of the nation ever to greet a convention of women suffragista,braved the danger to- night ot facing an &of women who want the ballot,the courage to express his opinion and was hiss- ed.So great was the throng that ht admission to the hall that hundreds were turned away. President Taft was welooming to Washington the delegatestothe con- vention of the National American Woman Soft Association.Hehad frankly told them that he was not al- canes in sympathy with the suf- frage movement and was explaining why he could not subscribe fully to ite principles.He said he thought one of the dangers in granting suf- frage to women was that the women as a whole were not interested in {t and that the power of theballot as far as woman isconcerned would be controlled by the “less desirable class."’ When these words fell from the President’s lips the walls of the con- vention hall echoed a chorusof femi- nine hisses.1s was no feebledemon- stration of protest.The combined hisses sounded as if a valve on a steam engine had broken. President Taft stood unmoved on the platform during the demonstra- tion of hostility—for the hissing con- tinued busta moment—and then,smil- ing as he spoke,he answered the un- favorable greeting with this retort: “Now,my dear ladies,you must showyourselves capable of suffrage by exercising that degree of re-straint which is necessary in the con- duct of government affairs,by not hissing.”’The women who had hissed were rebuked.The President's reply ap- parently had taken bold.There were no more hisses while the Presi- dent continued bis’address,which he characterized as ‘‘my confession”’ on the woman suffrage question.At the conclusion of his talk he was enthusiastically applaude1 and some of the leaders of the convention ex- pressed to him thein sincere regret over the unpleasantincident.Presi- dent Taft assured them that he had not had his feeling injured in the least.Senator Owen,of Oklahoma,en- dorsed the suffrage movement and dared any man to get up on the floor and answer his argument.Some man who did not rise shouted *‘Tyr anny!’’and the delegates laughed. ‘‘Without apology.’’said the Sen-ator,‘‘I face the prejudice of men of ten thousand years in advocating suffrage for women.Even,if the entire race of man contradicts me,| still assert that woman is entitled to life,liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness.”’ CeademnedBilbo. Jackson,Miss.,Dispatch,14th. Concluding their afternoon session with the adoption of a resolution sus- taining State Senator Theodore Bilbo {in his charge that be had been giv en money by T.C.Dulaney to influ- ence bis vote in the senatorial con- test]by a margin of one vote the Mississippi Senate late tonight adopted another resolution demand- ing that Bilbo tender his resignation and bitrerly criticising hisactionsin connection with his charge of irreg- ularities during the recent senato rial contest.Tonight's resolution declared that Bilbo,altbougb acting in the role of detective by prearrangement withprominentfriendsofformerGovern or Vardaman,failed to disclose his evidence until after the senatorial nomination,which conduct,the res- olution declares,‘‘is utterly unex: plainable and absolutely incredible.’ The resolution also attacks the credibility and character of Senator Bilbo and condemns his charge and statement that he acted in the role of detective as untrue.Concluding,is declares Bilbo unfit to retain bis membership in the Mississippi Leg- islature.With the introduction of the reso- lution broke the storm.Senator Heberon,president pro tem of the Senate and a ardent supporter of Vardaman in the senatorial contest, left the chair.surrendering the gave! to Senator McLaurin and joined a group of adberents of Mr.Vardaman who were forming to march from the| chamber in a body. The entire number withdrew and by a vote of 25 to 1 the resolution was adopted.Another resolution declaring it the sense of the Senate that the senatorial contest was with- out improper influence;that the elec- tion of Senator Percy was free from fraud or corruption,and expressing confidence in the United States Sen- ator,was adopted unanimously.

Apri 19,1910. After bissing the President when he told them be was opposed to “woman suffrage,the woman suffra- gists,in convention in Wasbington Yast week,repented themselves and Grafted a letter of apology to the President,after adopting a resolu- @ion repudiating the hissing.The President sent a graceful and cour- geous reply,saying be entertained no feeling whatever on account of the incident. In deciding to appoint Mr.Geo.P. Pell,of Winston,judge of the Supe- rior Court to succeed Judge E.-B. Jones,whose resignation is effective May 7,Governor Kitchin has side- stepped an embarrassing situation. The convention to nominate a candi- date to succeed Judge Jones will be held in midsummer.The appoint- ment had to be made in advance of the convention.There were two or three candidates.The appointee of the Governor would expect the nomi- mation and the Goverpor would of course bope for his nominee to be endorsed,but the chances are that had he named one of the candidates the friends of the others,as a matter of resentment,would have defeated jiis man in the convention.There. upon the Governor found in Mr.Pell a man who was willing to fillout the unexpired term without seeking a nomination and the candidates are free to fight it out before the conven- tion.In teking this step the Gov- ernor has not only avoided embar- rassment but has [followed precedeny, Gov.Fowle appointed Hon.M.L. MoCorkle judge to fill out Judge Shipp’s unexpired term under ex- actly similar conditions.When the convention was held Judge Hoke wasnominated. The passing of the Hon.R.Z.Lin- mey marks the removal of a noted man,a brainy man and an unique ehkaracter,one of the lastof his kind. Mr.Linney was oneof aclassof law- yers distinguished in this section of the State in the last generation.He ranked as a jawyer along with Geo. WN.Folk,R.F.Armfield,D.M.Fur- ebhes,J.M.McCorkle,of Salisbury, Clement,of Davie,and other noted lawyers of the piedmont section. While not a college-bred man he read much and quoted much and aptly from ancient bistory and the ancient wlassics.He was a man of brilliant intellect,a ready speaker and a foe to be feared before the jury oron the hustings.He was aspeakerof force and while not a great orator wasone whoal ways attracted attention when- ever and wherever he talked.His ,Personal appearance,his manner of speech and his unique expressions, marked bim_in any public assem- blage,and while he was in Congress his public utterances attracted na- tions!attention.He was good-hu- maored and his brilliant flashes of wit and humor readily caught a crowd. He was indeed a man of rare accom plishments,one of a type not uncom- mon in the South in the last genera- tion,but a type that has aboutdisap- sonia Judge Bennett,of Wades- ,being about the last. The result of the investigation of the senatorial election in Mississip- pi has resulted in an agreement to call a senatorial primary and in NovembertheDemccraticvotersoftheStatewillpassontheelectionofaSenator.By the narrow margin ofenevotetheMississippiSenatesus-tained the charges of Senator Bilbothathehadbeenpaidasumofmoney_to change his vote from Vardaman toPercyinthesenatorialcontestintheLegislature.Then the support-ers of Percy offered a resolution severely denouncing Bilbo and oail- dag on him to resign.The Varda man supporters and sympathizers with Bilbo walked out of the chamberandthisresolutionwasadopted fa the absecce of opposition.SenatorPercyaskedthatasenatorial primary be called to give the people @a Opportunity to pass on the case, and challenged Vardaman to entertheprimarywithhim.His propo- sition was accepted.The action of Percy throughout leaves the impres- sion that if there was corruption in | his behalf it was without his know! edge or consent,His cffer to sub mit the case to the people rather than bave it appear that his title to the office was tainted,was the manly course.The people of Mississippi, powever,are entitied to sympathy. Strife in that senatorial cam- this summer and fa!!will beGerce. The sudden death of Hon.Romulus Z,Linney at Taylorsville Friday af- ternoon,while in a sense not unex- pected,was a shook to his friends.| Up to the minute of his death he was talkative and cheerful andapparent- ly in his usual health.About 18 months ago,while ad- dressing a jury in a murder trial at Bakersville,Mitchell county,Mr.Linney was stricken and for a time wasseriously il].While he recover- ed sufficiently to do a little work jn bis profession;his friends knew that he was not a well man and would never be well again. Friday afternoon Mr.Linney drove {nto town from his farm’near Tay- lorsville and greeted his friends as usual.Meeting Mr.L.C,Cald-well,of Statesville,and Messrs.R. B,and J..H.Burke,of Taylorsville, he chatsed with them for some time in his usual sprightly and animated way.In.separating he asked Mr. R.B.Burke to go with him to his office,while Mr.Galawell went with Mr.J.H,Burketo the latter’s office. Ascending,the steps to his office, which is the ground floor and a little way above the level of the street,Mr.Linney seemed to feel the exertion and asked Mr.Burke tounlockthedoorforhim.While this was being done Mr.Linney fell and almost immediately expired. Mr.Linney was born in Rutber- ford county December 26,1841.HewasofAlexanderparentageandwasrearedattheoldhomesteadofhisfather,Wm.C.Linney,inGwaltney’stownship,Alexander county,eightmilesfromTaylorsville.His birth in Rutherford county is accountedforbythefactthatbismother,Mar-garet Baxter Lianey,was a native of that county and was on a visit toherfatber’s home in Rutherford asthetimeofbisbirth. Mr.Linney was educated in thecommonschoolsofAlexanderandatYorkInstitute,a classical schooltaughtbyDr.Brantley York,the autbor of York’s grammar.He wasalsoapupil)of Mr.Millen,at Tay-lorsville.He entered the Confeder- ate army as a private and served untilshebattieofChancellorsville, where he was badly wounded anddischarged.Immediately after thewarhebeganthestudyoflawunder the late Hon.R.F.Armfield,then aresidentofWilkesboro,and was ad mitted to the bar in 1868.In 1870hewaselectedtotheStateSenate from the district composed of Iredell, Alexander and Wilkes counties,was re-elected and was again a memberoftheSenatein1883,when he secur- ed the passage of legislation whichresultedinthebuildingoftherail road from Statesville to Taylors-ville. Up to this time Mr.Linney had been a Democras and was a candi- date for the nomination for Superior Court judge and once or twice a candidate for the congressional nomi- nation at the bands of his party. Along in 1886 or '87 Mr.Linney be- gan to manifest signs of fallingaway from Democracy,and once or twice made a break in that direction,only to return to the fo'd.At one of these periods be was offered the Demo- cratic nomination for the State Sen- ate aod declined it.But he gotfartherandfartherawayfromDemocratic moorings and at one time entered the fisid as an independent candi date for Congress against the late Col.W.Wd.H.Cowles,the Democratic nominee.In ashorttimehe becams disgusted,however,and quit tuefield. In 1894 Mr.Linney was the Re- publican candidate for Congress in the old eighth district—Iredel!not defeated Hon.W.H.Bower,the Dem Gcratic nominee,who had served one term.Hewas re-elected in 1896 and 1898,defeating in turn Hon.R.A. Doughbton and Capt.E.F.Lovilie. While much in politics,Mr.Linney was noted as a lawyer:He was an able lawyer and his practice covered a wide territory.He was for manyyearsemployedononesideorthe otber of a majority of the noted civ:! and criminai actions tried in-this section of the State.‘ In 1865 Mr.Linney married Miss Dorcas Stevenson.His wifa died several years ago.He is survived by six children,four daughters and two sons.Two unmarried daugh- ters,Miss Hessie Linney,a teacher in Roanoke College,Roanoke,Va, and Miss Bianche Linney,living in New York,reached home Saturdaynight.Dr.R.Z.Linaey arrived yesterday from Oklahoma.The otb-er son,Mr.F.A.Linney,of Boone, issolicitor of his district.Onemar ried daughter,Mrs.W.D.Daal, lives at Taylorsville,and anotherdaughter,Mrs.J.W.Hendren,at Stony Point.There are also surviv- then being a part of the eighth—and |< ing two sisters,Mrs.W.W.Fou shes,of Statesville,and Mrs.W.C.Beckbam,of Hiddenive;and three|brothers,Messrs J.W.and W.C.Linney)of Alexander county,andV.A.Licney,of Mississippi His}youngest \brother,Jas,P.Linney,|was killed in the noted assault onFortHamby,in Wilkes county,when|that place was captured and therobbersaodmurdererswooinfestedis||kitted and scattered by the outraged |jcitizens.iMr.Linnoy was a thrifty businessmsoandeconoticalwithal.He lets|coosiderab's esas6,much of is coo |sisting of valusoia mount@n jands.

Oneto Put the Soilin Good Conditice,Otherto Destroy Grase andWeedsandHelpYoungPlants. At this season of the year and alittleiater,barrows and weedersshouldpiayaveryImportantpartipfarmeconomy.As fast as land is broken each half day’s breakingshouldbeharrowed,to pulverizeanyclodsthatmaybepresentbe-fore they dry out and become bard.Pulverizing {s easily done at thepropertime,but if clods are left tobecomehardtheymaybeinthewayinplantingandcultivatingforacon-siderable time,The harrowing alsohelpstokeepthemoistureinthe soil and makes it mellow.Thethoughtfulandobservantfarmerin this section of the country knows that we almost invariably have a drought during the summer,so they begin thus early to keep the moist-uré in the soil for futureuse.Sinceplantstaketheirfoodonlywhen dissolved in water,we know that if there is no moisture in thesoil there is no food there that can be used bytheplants.Of course the yield of the crop is cut off under such con-ditions. In many cases,and especially on light soils,the weeder may be used as effectively as the harrow after breaking.The better time for the use of the weeder,however,is after the seed sre planted.Even before the young plants are out of the ground,weed and grass seed are get- ting ready to come up with them.The weeder dislodges these seed,destroys them,and af the same time helps the corn or cotton seed w get through.Thus we have the young crop abead of its enemies.By re- peated use of the weeder every time &rain starts noxious seed to germi-nate,we may never see the much dreaded coat of young,vigorous grass.The work of the weeder is‘ economical.A man and a horse can easily cultivate ten acres or more per day.Furthermore,the teeth,or fingers,of the weeder work among the young plants and destroy weeds that would later have to be gottenoutbyexpensivehand-bhoeing,if a side plow had been used instead of the weeder.On stiff,heavy-solls,a spike-toothed harrow sometimes doesbetterworkthantheweeder. Probably the greatest caution to observe in the use of these imple- ments is to run them at the proper time.After the grass formsagreen carpet over the field,itis then toolatefortheweeder.Theimpiement will destroy some of the grass,but will cultivate the remainder so that {t will grow all the faster,Just asgoonafterarainasthesoilisdry enough to admit the weight of the borse without packing,the weeder should be run over every acre tha! needs it.We may thus do two orthreedays’work before the soi!is dry enough toadmitthecultivator orarunningimplements. arrows and weeders are nob in- tended for breaking land,butforcultivatiogthesurfaceofplowedsoi).

VOL.XXXVI. COLLECTOR APPOINTED CHANGE A VERY GREAT SURPRISEeeetdeeeer Succeed Geo.H.Brown—The Latter Displaced Without Notice. Wednesday afternoon about 1.30 a telegram to Tae Lanpmakk from /Washington,sent by Mr.H.E.C. Bryant,announced that Henry Rey- polds had been appointed collector of interna)revenue for this district to succeed Geo.H.Brown. A clap of thunder from a clear sky would not bea circumstance as an astonishment promoter alongside this simple announcement.When the telegram was made public the news caused profound astonishment acd the astonishment was increased by the fact shat Mr.Brown and his friends bad bad no intimation what- ever of the impending change,and the collector's first knowledge of the fact was the telegram to Tus Lanp- MARK.Mr.Brown,however,accepted the situation philosophically.Hewentintotheofficeunexpectedly, the place being given him without bis solicitation,and be accepts the unexpected going out as a partof the fortunes of politics,making no com laint.Mr.Brown was in Wasb- ton last week on business in con- nection with biscfiice,His manage- ment of the office has been admirable in every respect,bis record is clear and it is understood that his conduct of the business of the office was com- plimented by the Washington off- cisis.Notwithstanding this,ifthere had been the slightest intimation that a change was desired,for any reason,the collector would havebandedinhisresignation.His de-sire to bold the place was nosstrong enough to provoke a fight and hewouldhavegoneoutwithoutpro- test unless charges bad been made. In that event he would have made a fight.There ig no reasonfobelieve, however,that @ny charges were e.While Mr.Brown accepts the sit- uation without complains there is much indignation among some of bisfriendsonaccountofhisdispladce-ment without notice.Realizing thashewouldbavegivenwayontheslightestintimationthattheplacewaswantedforanother,they feelthattheappointmentofhissuccessor without the least intimation to himthatachangewastobemade,is the rankest sort of discourtesy,to pul it mildly,and as viewed a)present Congressman Cowles,who is supposed%o be responsible for thechange,bas piayed poor poiitics;and from this viewpoint the Demo-orats-are disposed tosmile.As tothefulleffect,however,the future oan only disclose.Mr.Brown took charge of the col- lector’s office tn July,1906,succeed-ng H.S.Harkins,of Asheville.Later the office was moved from AshevilietoStatesville.A collector of inter-nal revenue is not appointed for anyspecifiedterm,as are postmas-:ersandothergovernmentofficiais.Heholdsofficeatthepleasureofthepowersthatbe.While Mr.Brown would have completed a term of fouryearsnextJuly,{tis supposed shatthechangewil!be made in a month, orearlier.There is no information on that point.Mr.Reynolds,the new collecter,is a young lawyer of Wilkesboro.HeisanativeofForsythandagraduateoftheUniversity.Some years agohelocatedinWilkesboro.He wasa presidential~elector for the districtin1904andjsnowchairmanofthe congressional committee of the dis- trict and secretary to CongressmanCowles.He is also editor of thePatriot,a weekly Republican pa-per published at Wilkesboro,Personally Mr.Reynolds is amostagreeablegentleman.Rev.C.EK.Maddry,pastor of the FirstBaptiatchurchofStatesville,andMr.P.A.Bryant,of Tos Lampmarx,both knew him at the University, and both like him very much.Mr.Reynolds has always been interestedinpoliticsandis,it is understood,ayeryactivepartyworker.He willdoubtlesslookwellafterthepoliticalendinadministeringthecollector'soffice,and herein is probably thewholereasonforthechange,Col- lector Brown,while thereis noques-tioning his Republicanism or his in-terest in his party,looked after thebusinessendoftheoffice.A young-er man who would administer the office as more of a politioal asset was doubtless wanted,The change in oollectors hasbroughtupthesubjectofthere-moval of the office.It will hardlybemoved.Mr,Reynolds is Con- gressman Cowles’appointee and the office will of course remain in thisdistrictWinktonisoutsidethe@istrict,It could be taken to Salis-bury or Wilkesboro,but neither oftheseplaceshaveFederalbuildings at present.

RumorsGrowingOutof the Changeinthe's OfficeSetatRest. covered from the astonishmentc. ed by the announcementof the chinthecollector's office,those of a speculative turn of mind began to wonder why and suggest reasonsforthechange.The termi of the post- master at Statesville expired mors tban a month ago.While the name of Mr.L.C.Wagner had been sug- gested in connection with the officeitwasassumedthathewouldnotbe a candidate because of the fact thas Mr.Geo.H.Brown,his father-in- law,wascollector.Immediately fol- lowing the announcement of Mr. Brown's retirement from the collec tor’s office came the suggestion that this meant Mr.Wagnerwould be ap- pointed postmaster.So positive werenumerousfolksthatthiswouldbe the solution,that in their minds they already bad Mr.Wagner appointed postmaster;and many of them weresurethematterwasunderstoodinadvanceoftheappointmentofthe new collector.Tax LANDMARK bappens to be in &position to 8ayv—and to speak by thebook—that Mr.Wagner has neverbeen,is n0t and will not be a candi-date for postmaster.He is on recordasdecliningtoallowbisnametoveconsidéredinthisconnection,andunderthecircumstanceshewillre-fuse to allow it tabeconsidered.He appreciates the fact that the States-ville postoffice is worth while butthe pdstoffice contes}is unchanged so farasMr.Wagnerisconcerned.Whilebeisnotdecliningwhathasnotbeenofferedtohim,it can be said that he will not be postmaster.Mr.Wagner takes this position from a sense of duty and no?on aoc-count of any feeling of resentment.So far as politics is concerned,his attitude,bis loyalty and his servicewillbethesameasheretofore.

The first apperantly autbentic ip- timation that Mr.Roosevelt may up der certain conditions consentto be- come a candidate for President in 1912 comes after bis interview with Gifford Pinchot.While this intime- tion may not bave the sanstion of the ex-President,{s seems to be altogetber possible,and indeed probable,that Mr.Roosevelt may be induced to accept the nomina- tion.This would nos be so much a ‘return from Elba”as it would be a reply to a Macedonian cry for helpcomingfromtheRepublicanparty. Not since the enactment of the Mo- Kinley bill and she attempted enaet- ment of the force bill has the Repub-lican party been in so sorry a condi-tion as.it is at this time.With any- thing like wiseand conser vativecon- duct by the national Democracy and the nomination by that party of a candidate who would be acceptable to the business interests of the coun-try,President Taft,if renomingted, would seem,from the present out look,almost foredoomed to defeat,Unless conditions change,itseems most likely that the Republicans will turn 60 Roosevelt to save the party.

But good farming does not consist merely in deep plow- ing and proper cultivation unless your land is rich,very )much richer than the average land in this section.The judicious use of the right kind of Fertilizer is just as im- portant as good plowing,and you will find that tle most successful farmers are the largest users of commerctal Fertilizers. Commercial Fertilizer is the Cheapest Commodity Today Used in connection with farming and,compared with farm products now and ten years ago,when corn was 35c.to 50c.per bushel,cotton 5c.to 6c.per pound,Fertilizers may be used nearly three times as heavy as then for,if paid for in farm products (leaving out the money value of either)a given amount of corn or cotton will pay for nearly three times the amount of Fertilizer it would have paid for ten years ago. Be honest now,feed your land like you ought to feed your horse and you will get results.We expect to offer some prizes for the best yields of corn and cotton and will announce the plan later.

DMARK :. ds ® TVOL.XXXVL STATUS OF THE COLLECTORSHIP. Ms.Brown Has Resigned,His Resigna- tied to Take Effect July 16—Story of legner octoffice Comes Up Ale Siecum Brown and Wagner Net to Fight Cowles. When Collector Brown learned last Wednesday,through a telegram to Tus LANDMARK,that his successor bad been appointed,be was naturally sarprised that no,intimation bad bebe given him of the impending change,secing that bis resignation could bave been bad on theslightess {dtimation that bis place was wanted for another.Mr.Brown waited 24 hours,sad bsving received no infor- mation from Washington,be asked Senators Overman aod Simmons to bold up she cgnfiemation of Mr. Reynolds until the matter could be looked into.This the Senators agreed to do. The Congressional Record of Wed- nesday,in making record of the nom-|pO ipations sent to.she Senate,notes the appointment of Henry Reynolds as coliector of internal reveoue,fifth North Carolina district,in place of Geo.H.Brown,‘‘resigned.’’Mr. Brown had not resigned and had bad po intimation that his resignation was wanted.Saturday,bowever, four days after the annouccement of the appointmentof Mr.Brown's suc- cessor,he received a lester from the Secretary of the Treasury saying that the President had named anoth- er for the place and asking Mr. Brown to tender bis resignation,to take effact July 16,next,when he shall have completed four years in the office.Whether this letter was sev’after it was learned tbat the North Carolina Senators,at the re- vest of Mr.Brown,bad beld up ynolds’confirmation,is of course a matter of conjecture.To this let ter of the Secretary of the Treasury Mr.Brown replied,tendering bis resignation to take effect on the date named;and he also wrote Senators Overman and Simmons,notifying them that be would nos offer any ob- jection to Reynolds’confirmation. The reasons for Mr.Brown's course are obvious.Al!he knew of the whole matter,up to the time he received the lester from the Secre- tary of the Treasury,was that bis successor bad been appointed and is wasstated inthe newepepers thattha new collector would take bold June 1st.This gave the impression that Mr.Brown bad been summarily re- moved for cause,action being taken without notice.The purpose inask- Ing that the confirmation be beid up was to insist on an explanation.His resignation being asked for sod there being no charges against him, be bad no desire to pursue the matter further and will take no fur- ther action except to protect bis record,and he is assured there are no charges against bim and that no refiectioa was intended in appoint ing bis successor without notice. Stories are coming from Washing ten that Mr:Brown and Mr.L.CO. Wagner,his son-in-law,are mad and will fight Congressman Cowles, One story has it that Mr.Cowles bas telegraphed Mr.Wagner to come to Washington and that he wants togivehimtheStatesvillepostofficeas apeaceoffering.Astoany communi cation between the Congressman and Mr.Wagner,the latter is silent. The postoffice matter,however,wassetstraightinthelastissueofToe Laxwpmark.As soon as it was known in Statesville that a new col-lector bad beep appointed it was suggested that an arrangement had been made to appoint Mr.Wagner postmaster.In justice to himself Mr.Wagner st onoe authorised THE LANDMARK to say that there was nothing in the story.He had refus- ed,he said,to allow his name to beconsideredinconnectionwiththe postoffice prior to this time and hewouldstillrefuse,saying in effectthathewoulddeclinetheofficeifjtweretenderedhim,notasamatter of resentment but because he felt that to be the proper course,Mr.Wag-ner also stated at the same time that the change in the collectorship would not change his political attitude iotheleast.This statement was made before Mr.Cowles had any opportu- nity to communicate with Mr.Wagner.If he has made any tender of the office since then the publicdoesn’t know it,but Mr.Wagner’s attitude is of course unchanged. While Taz LanpMaRK would like to have itdifferent,from the partisan viewpoint,it is compelled to state as a fact that neither Mr.Brown:norMr.Wagner will offer opposition to the nomination or election of Mr.Cowles.While they cannot but feel that Mr.Brown was-not treated properly in thecollectorship matter, they are not kicking outof the traces nor raising rows.oth are lifelong Republicans and have rendered faithful service to theparty,While they may have their viewsas to per- sons and party management,thoywillcontinueRepublicans, ~The mystery in this collectorship biisiness is why did Congressman Cowles feel it nedessary to have Reynolds appotnted nearly three months prior 0 the date of taking offisa and havé theappointmens mada 7 STATESVILLE,N.C.,TUEBSDAY:;APRIL 26,1910. without noticeto Mr.Brown,ThegeneralsurmiseisthatReynolds’ appointment was desired for a spe- cial purpose and the fear was that if notice was given other applicants would flock in and muddy the waters; 1¢is also suggested,and the sugges-tion is reasonable,thatifMr.Cowles fails of re-election to Congress,not an improbable event,Mr.Reynoldswillgivewayforbimtobeappoint- ed collector.'There is much talk in the papersthatMr.Brown was worth nothing to the Republicans from a party standpoint.This district was plac- ed under civil service by Mr.Cievejand.Mr.McKinley,attheinstance of politicians,removed is from the civil service.It was again placedunderthecivilservicebyMr.Roose-velt,jus’priorto the appointment o} Mr.Brown,and be was instructed toobserve the law and to conduct the office in a business way and not as aliticalasset.This was in accord- ance with his views and inclinations and be has lived up tothe regulations, His.administration bas been a busi- ness one.Unfitand unworthy menbavebeendisplacedandtheserviceimproved:From the standpoint of the politician Mr.Brown bas notad-miniseered the office for party pur- poses,but be bas adminisiered it intheinterestofthegovernmentand the general public,while be has been loyal and faithful to his party andrenderedpartyservicenotinconsist- ent with his duties.Mr.Brown’s removal presents the case of political vs.business ad-ministration.On this subject Tax LaNDMARK will bave more to say by way of calling attention to some mat- ters.

Telephone Operaters Can’t Answer All Calls at Once and Other Folks Can'tDoaHalfDozenThingsatOnce. People generally are too impatientwiththelocaltelephonegiris.This impatience,one tims in a hundred,is not due to discourtesy but to ignor-ance of tbe strenuous work that the Hello Girl has todo.If those who show such impatience with the tele- phone girl weretotake thegirl’s job,nine out of ten of them would either go crazy or resign after two hours’ trial at a rush time.The amount of work the operator has to do varies.There are times when they are not overcrowded,while at othertimestheyarerusbedbeyondreason. Occasionally the impatient patron calls at oneof these rush times,whentbereareprobablyadozenothercalls at the same instant.The result is the impatient caller files off the ban- die and thinks thingsagainstcentral that ought not to be thought about any one under such stressed condi- tion.Mr.Impatient,did you ever ‘have more to do at one time than you could do?If you have,then bechar- itable to Miss Central.Shedoes tha best she can and is as faithful in try- ing to earn ber wages as honestlyas you are,Mr.Impatient.Next timeyougetmadatcentraljustwalk down to theofticeand watch whatshehastodoforafewminutes.You will be more patient with central andwonderthatshedoessowell.

And it might be well,too,to re- mind the public that thecentral office is being moved,a section ata time, to the new building.This change is being made without stopping the service but necessarily at times re-sults in poor service.Another rea’ soa for exercising additional patience unvil the phone people get arranged in their new home.

But good farming does not consist merely in deep plow- ing and proper cultivation unless your land is rich,very much richer than the average land in this section.The judicious use of the right kind of Fertilizer is just as im- portant as good plowing,and you will find that the most successful farmers are the largest users of commercial! Fertilizers. Commercial Fertilizer is the Cheapest Commodity Today Used in connection with farming and,compared with farm products now and ten years ago,when corn was 35c.to 50c.per bushel,cotton 5c.to 6c ber pound,Fertilizers may be used nearly three times as heavy as then for,if paid for in farm products (leaving out the money value of either)a given amount of corn or cotton will pay for nearly three times the amount of Fertilizer it would have paid for ten years ago.: Be honest now,feed your land like you ought to feed your horse and you will get results. Wo expect to offer some prizes for the best yields of corn and cotton and will announce the plan later.| Our down-town representatives,Messrs.Geo.M.Aus: tin and H.L.Stevenson,will be found at the Statesville Hardware &Harness Co.and Sherrill &Reece’s,re- spectively.:; Yours for better farming and bigger crops.

The spirit of progress of a whole county may be known by the public institutions,such as roads and bridges,schools,public buildings and humanitarian institutions. have been knocking about over the State a good deal the past two years and the conditions noted above have appealed to me very much. A very striking contrast came tomynoticeashorttimeagointhe manner in which two great counties care for the aged and infirm.In the first case the county had purchased a large farm,equippedit.with stock and too's,erected a splendid brick building on the hospita!style for the inmates,and operatea the whole onup-to-date methods.In the other case,the farm is very good but the equipment is very poor,and the hutsfortheinmatesareshameful.This latter is the county bomeofthe great county of Iredell.I spent a few hours at this institution a shorttime ago and I could not help butcompare this witb the splendid home in For- sytb county.What do you tbink ofit,citizensofIredell?Are you satis-fied with this institution as it is? We Lave a good court house,one weareallproudof,and a splendid jail in which to house ourcriminals,and we are proud of it,too,But is ourhumanitycontenttobuildapalace for vicious criminals and continueto permit our poor and unfortunate ones 00 spend their days amid such surroundings as are found at our county bome?These inmates can- not help their condition.Some are cripples,some feeble-minded,allhelplessandinfirm.Somehaveseen better days,but they are all God’s poor now.The burden ofcaringfor them is ours,if it be a burden,but it is not;itisa privilege.Are wetoobusytothinkofthesepoorun- fortunates?I thinknot.Thegreat heart of the people of this county goes out with sympathy toward theseunfortunateones,and,if all could know theccnoditions or environments of their lives,our humanity would beexpresseddifferently. This is not written in a fault find- ing spirit,to censure any one,butt bring the matter to the attention ofthepeopleofthecounty.If I were to criticize at all,I wouldsay thatthe poor should have been cared for be- fore the criminal.It is not a ques tion of whether these unfortunates are comfortably cared for,but a question.of whether we are doing it in a manner befitting ourselves.

The President’s appointment of Gov.Ohas.E.Hughes,of NewYork, to the Supreme Court bench will @oubtiess meet general approbation Gov.Hughes first came into public potice as the attorney who probed the insurance frauds in New York s few years ago.His ability as a law- r and his methods sooommended im that he was elected Governor of New York,where he has proved himself an honest,capable and fear- less executive.He was notin favor with politica]bosses and grafters, but without sensationalism or plays to the galleries,he was an honest and sincere reformer.Hic ability as a lawyer is unquestioned and the public bas confidencein his honesty. Hence bis appointment to the court of last resort will meet withpopular approval. _“@OQRaMENTONVARIOUSMATTERS. Violations of tbe prohibition law in Wilmington have,been flagrant and notorious.I is alleged shat the illicit dealers were organized for mu tual protection;in any event their operations have been bold and defi- ant But the limit seems to have been reached.“Determined citizens, headed by the mayor,have employed a lawyer and resorted to ad tes tifcandum proceedings.Railroad freight offices and express offices have been investigated and draymen examined to place the ownership of the vast quantities of liquor shipped to.Wilmington,and having placed the ownership the disposition of the booze will next be looked into.All citizens will wish this crusade in Wilmington success.ItJs to be hoped shat those in charge of it will follow it to the end,regardless of results;that they will not,as is sO often done,get “cold feet’’and com- promise with the lawless about the time they get that element by the throat.4 a . Senator Lodge,of Massachusetts, chairman of the Senate committee which bas been investigating the high cost of living,announced Mon- -day that be would not further press his resolution asking for an appro- priation of $65,000 tocontinue the in quiry.Much opposition had devel- oped to the appropriation andSena- tor Overman,of North Carolina,is largely responsible for the abandon- ment of the resolution.The North Carolina Senator made it clear that the inquiry could result inno practi- cal benefit to the people and that its real purpose wasto endeayorto justi- the tariff law by makingit appear the tariff is not responsible for high cost of living.In this matter the Senator was following his usual custom of guarding the public inter- est.The $65,000 is a small matter as appropriations go in Congress, but spending it for the purpose ask ed was waste so far as practical pub. lic benefit is concerned,and the real purpose was no doubt,as Senator Overman charged,to manufacture Republican campaign material. &2 The Mount Airy Leader says Mar. tin Tillerv,the negro whoseson was killed at Pilot Mountain by Jobn T. Cook,has placed 622 in the hands of the sheriff of the county as a reward for the slayer’scapture.This prob- ably was every dollar the poor fel- low could raise.He was willing to give his all to bring to justice the man who killed bis boy.Such acase *sheuld arouse public sympathy.It shou!d be looked into and if meriting it the man‘should have assistance from,the county ‘or State in offering a suitable reward for the capture of thealleged murderer.Thereis some- thing pathetic in the offering of thispaltrysumasaninducementfortbe capture of a man charged with acapitalfelony.Tte lowly position and poverty of the bereaved father place him outside the paleof that influencewhichwouldhavebeenexer- ciged without prospect of reward toapprehendandbringtotrialtheslayerofapersonstandingsocially higber.—Charlotte Observer. The white man charged witb this killing ‘‘bas fled the Sta‘e or so con- cealed himself that tbeordinary pro: cess of law’’hasn’t been served uponhim.He should be brought to trial,for no matter what the defence, the case should be adjudicated inthecourts.We have no doubt Gov.Kitchin would offer’a re- ward if the facts were laid before him and the sheriff of Surry should gee that this is done.Is is bad enough when people of means and influence can escape the conse- quences of crime —and no great amount of means and influence isrequiredinNorthCarolina—but theinevitab!e result,when the poor and lowly are wronged and can have no assurance of redress,is infinitely worse,The Surry case may or may not be cause for an appeal to popular feeling.but it is one of many cases, all of which bave a grave and seri-ous import.Men and brethren,the suppression of crime and the build ing upof a strong sentiment in favor of a more strict and universal en- forcement of the |aw in North Caro lina,demands the earnest support ofeverygoodcitizen.The conditions, already bad,seemingly grow worse, and by ard by the lawless and their sympathizers will contro’. a*oe This from the Greensboro Tele- gram:‘Some time sgo President Finley, of the Southern,sent out a circular letter in bebal!of diversified farming and intensive cotton culture.Mr. KE.J.Justice,president of the cham berof commerce,received from Mr. Finley a reprint of one of these let- ters slong with the suggestion that ;must be made out for Wm.Bratcher , Mr.Justice might be interested ta} 10,eto.,etc.Mr.Justice replied to the letter and while commending President Finley for -bis solicitude forthefarming interests courteously suggested to him that {t would be appreciated in North Carolina if the president of the Southern would do something to relieve business men of the exorbitant freight rates which they have to pay.Then Mr.Finley came back with a polite letter in which be said in substance thet he considered the freight rates prevai!- ing as to North Carolina to be just and reasonable.”’ Why,certainly.Isis allrighsfor the Southern to bau!freight to Vir- ginia points, further,fora lower rate than to North Carolinapoints.Thismayseemjust and reasonable to President Finley but be will bave a bard time con- vinoing North Carolina people that such discrimination can be justified. Some months ago Mr.J.J.Hill,she noted railroad man,gave out a num- ber of interviews advising farmers how to farm and telling the public generally how to live and conduct business.Tus LANDMARK suggested at the time that while Mr.Hill’s ad- vice was good he could benefit the public much more by making it a point to conduct railroad business a little more in their interest;that he could at least make an effort to give just and equitable rates.President Finley is given to taking his pen in hand and writing long letters to the newspapers,in which he suggests how the country can be developed and agricultural and business con- ditions gonerally improved.Mr. Finley’s interest is appreciated and what he says is all right.The de- velopment hesuggests will of course benefit his road,as it will benefit all the people along the lineof the road. The interests of the public and the railroads are mutual.But.Mr,Jus- tice is exactly right when be telis Mr.Finley shat a fair freight rate would also help much.That,how- ever,is a subject Mr.Finley doesn’t care to discuss.ouscindinpeeiiineianmimenciinindeabnat The Good Work of Misses Arey and Overcash at Antioch. The Red Springs Citizenof the 22d had complimentary referencesto the work of Miss Edith Arey,of Elm- wood,this county,aod Miss Marg: ares Overcash,of Statesville,the first named being @ teacher and the second a musical director in Antioch academy,in the vicinity of Red Springs,Robeson county.Says the Citizen:“Prof.Nixon has decided not to return to Antioch next year,but his successor will be elected.Misses Arey and Overcash will return. These two ladies haven't any supe- riors in their respective depart- ments,and to thém is largely due the success of Antioch academy. Miss Arey has been a member of the faculty since its organization and her re-election shows the value that is placed upon ber work by the patrons. Miss Overcash came to us this year and her re-election shows that Anti- och people are not lacking in appre- ciation,and trust that she may bein charge of the music departments for many more terms.”’ And further:: “Wriday evening the annual con cert was given by the pupils of Miss Overcash.This was indeed a musi- cal treat and showed a very thorough preparation.This is Miss Over- cash’s first year as director of music at Antioch academy,and the many friends and patrons of the school who witnessed the exercises Friday evening were convinced thatthisde- partment could nos be easily dupii. cated.Tne children and young ie- dies and young boys,who were mu sic pupils,reflocted great credrs on themselves as wel!as their instruc tor.’’' Home-Made Soap For the Chain Gang— A Colored Woman’s Industry.

The enumerators canvassed the to wn by blooks,from houseto house.

Therefore,whatever may be said of the insincerity of some Democrats, the Republicans have no room to talk. &,a When the railroads some time ago adopted the regulation requiring holders of mileage tickets to ex- change mileage for regular tickets before taking passage on the trains, instead of allowing conductors to take up mileage on tbe trains,ashad been the custom,there were many protests.It was felt that the new regulation was unjust and unneces- sary.A few days agoa test case, that of Bernard Eschner vs the Pennsylvania railroad etals.,was decided by the Inter-State Commerce Commission in favor of the railroade. In the decision the commission says: ‘The right touseexchangeordersandmileageticketsisinthenature of a privilege voluntarily accordedbycarriersundertheirtariffs,and must be accepted by those who use such special fares with all lawful andnon-discriminatory limitations that may be attached to them.’’ Three important points made by the commission are thatthe issuance of mileage tickets is in nd sense com- puleory,but is permissible and vol- untary on the part of the carriers; that purchasers cf mileage tickets Mrs.Addie Brincefield was paid $2,Polly Williams $5,Mrs.Peacock $3,Fannie James 82,Eliza Wasson $1,Clem.Garner 81,Mrs.M.E.Mill-stead $3,for temporary relief.Mr. Van.Morrison was paid$3 forcaring for Moses Fink,deceased,and Reu-ben Crawford,Cal.Redmanand Allie Waddell were ordered received atthe county bome.* J.M.Patterson wasappointed list taker for Fallstown townsbiptotake the place of F.A.Cloaninger,whobasmovedoutofthetownsbip.

Charies Moran,better known as ‘‘Chappy’’Moran,and alleged by Postofiice Inspector Stuart,of Chi-cago,and [aspector J.T.Cortelyou, of Philadelphia,to be the dean of Americanswindlers,was arrested inChicagolastweek. In the last 20 years Moran,it is al leged,has obtained close to $1,000,-He never operated oo a small scale.When Detectlves*Modre and Elston,of Chicago,found Moran he was occupying an expensive suite of three rooms in «on aristocratic hotel. A valetattended him,and had plenty to do caring for his master’s exten- sive wardrobe. According to Mr.Cortelyou,Mo- ran made large sums by grain swin- dies in Providence,New York and Philadelphia.His method was sim- ple,the Philadelphia case,to which he owes bis latest arrest,beingafair sample.‘‘Moran,working with Wil- liam Clarke,now a fugitive from jus- tice,operated the Eastern Grain Com-pany,’’explained Inspector Cortel- you.“They collected $60,000 ormoreasmarginsfrominvestors,and then suddeniy shut upshop.This was six Years ago. ‘‘Last month I arrested him in Philadelphia,but he gave $1,500 cash bail and went to Chicago.He was running a handbook on the’raceswhenarrested.He rented a taxi-cabtogo to jail in.”’Moran is said to be known on both sides of the Atiantic,having,in his earlier days,plied the profession of gaming on the big liners.Later he became known as a daring and suc-cessful wire tapper.He is said to have originated the ‘‘sick enginser’’mining swindle,his first trial of which netted him $48,000.

Cat Nursing a Rat With Her Young. Hagerstown,Md.,Correspondence Baltimore Sun, William Kendall,tenant on the Findlay farm,near Williamsport,bas a cat that,besides taking care of fivekiteens,is raising a rat.She seems as fond of the young ratas she is ofherownoffspring.The rat suckles at the cat jist as the kittens do. Five weeks ago she gave birth to kittens,and a few days later appeared from the barn carrying in her mouth by the skin of the neck,as cats carry their young,a little rat,the ayes ofwhichwerenotyetopen.She de- posited the young rodent with her kittens and it bas become a regularmemberofthefamily. Yesterday the mother cat removed ber family from one building to an other,carrying in her mouth,one byone,each kitten,until she had them all but the rat removed.The rat was not forgotten,and aithough moved iast,it,too,was carried to the new nest with the same tender-ness shown the kittens.

The present Mrs.Pinkham,daughter-in-law of Lydia E, Pinkham,was for years under her direction,and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse,knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance,but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing thémselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician.Such ques- tioning and examination:is unnecessary.Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS.PINKHAM’S.STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are in- vited to promptly communicate with Mrs.Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.All letters are received,opened,read and answered by women.A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman;thus has been established this confidence between Mrs.Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken.Never has she published a testi- monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer,and never has the company allowed these confi- dential letters to get out of their session,as the hun- dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out.of the vast volume of experience whigh Mrs.Pink-_ ham has to draw from,it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will,and her advice has helped thousands.Surely any woman,rich or poor,should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.Address Mrs.Pinkham,care of Lydia E.Pinkham Medicine Co.,Lynn,Mass. x &Filling Prescriptions a Specialty.

Vance’s unexpired term.Gov,Holt was refused’a nomination when be bad filled out Gov.Fowle’s unexpired term,but this may bave been due to the peculiar political conditions at the time.Lieutenant Governor Sied- man and Lieutenant Governor Tur- per both tried for the nomination for Governor and failed.‘ Maybe Lieutenant Governor New- land can break the precedent,There is no reason why it should exist and the State will have a good Governor if Mr.Nowland should win,but prec- edent is against him.

This condition is worse than where the saloons exist tn incorporated towns,for in country places they are practically {ree from the police sur- veillance to which they would besub- jected in the towns.Recently the sheriff of Iredell county bad an ap- plication for license for a near-beer saloon at Mt.Mourne,an unincorpo- rated village in the southern par}of Tredell,and also an application for a similar saloon which it was proposed to establish between Mooresvilleand Prospect church,near the Rowan line,Sheriff Deaton promptly re- fused both applications and it is to be hoped that be can besustained in his effort to prevent the establish- ment of these nuisances in the coun- ty.Public centiment will at least sustain him in this matter. e e A man is entitled to one burial lot but no more,even if he be a bank- rupt,is the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals ren- dered by Judge Pritchard,according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The case was from Baltimore and affected Charlies E.Burdette, a bankrupt.When Burdette filed petition,in bankruptcy he filed among bis exemptions ten cemetery lota and claimed exemptionsfor these love undera Maryland statute which provides that.a bankrupt’s last rest- fog place is exempt from his credit ors.The DistrissCourtagreed with Bordette that the statute exempted one’s ‘last resting place’but it eonldn’sseethatBurdettecould occu py ten ‘‘lastresting piaces’’scatter- ed all over a cemetery in Baltimore, and attorney fees.The Record cites this suitas evidence of tbe wisdom of the Legislature in p~oviding tbe penalty of $50 where railroads re- fuse to_adjust freight claims in 60 days.But for this penalty com- plainants could not afford to bring suit for small amounts,and where the damige was so small as not to justify a suit the complainant would have-no redress.The law is-right, but to Taz LANDMARK themainpoint in the case cited is the nonsense of spending hundreds of dollars in contending over one cent.Therai!- road company should have paid the 98 cents rather than go to law;or the plaintiff should bave taken one cent less ratber than contended,for while he got his 98 cents and $50 penalty he spent all of that and moro in time and money,préseduting the suit.

JUDICIAL CANDIDATES. .Ie is announced from Salisbury that R.Lee Wright,Esq.,will be a gandidate for the Democratic nom!- aation for Superior Court judge in this district;that be has had the matter under consideration for some months;that Mr.Wright bas been $l]for several weeks and wil)prob- ably goto Baltimore for treatment in a few days;that.‘‘on this acoount he does not expect to be able to in- augurate his campaign for the nomi- mation under six weeks.’Mr. Wright has been practicing law for many years and has represented Rowan county in the Legislature. While he has made no public an- pouncement it is understood that Judge Long,who is finishing his first term on the bench,will bes candidate for renomination,an honor to which he is entitled by Demo- cratic precedent and which be bas earned by the able and faithful dis- eharge of hia duties.He is an able Jawyer,an upright and impartial judge whohasenforced the law with- Out fear or favor.That being so there can be no reason for displacing him,no matter bow worthy the man “who offers against him. It is announced from Albemarle that Mr.R.E.Austin,of the Stanly -sounty bar,will bea candidate for the Democratic nomination forsolic!- tar to succeed W.C.Hammer,Esq. Mr.Hammer was appointed solicitor to fill out the unexpired term of Wiley Rush,deceased,and hassince been:twice elected to full terms ot four years.Tos LANDMARK bas not learned whether he will be a eandidate. During his short reign of nine years King Edward of England,who passed away so suddenly Friday might,distinguished himself as a royal diplomat in behaif of peaceand ustice.He was nota great man,as thatterm is understood in this coun- try;be was not distinguished as a soldier nor in statecraft,although had opportunity offered he might have won prominence in these fields. He-was sensible and solid ratperShenbrilliant.By persona!traits ‘ef kindness and tact he greatly en- Geared himself to all classes of his subjects,and he was abie to hold the! ‘DBlance so evenly that while be main- tained royal dignity he won the ap- plause of the people who insisted on restricting the privileges of royalty. Following the example of his fatber, he lent his influence to promoting agriculture and industry,science, art and literature,and did much for charityand broadening of educa- tion,He gave unstinted efforttothe promotion of the peace of Europe, ‘and is-credited..with bringing about friendly understanding’and closer relations between variovs countries.In this way he justly earned thetitleof‘Edward,the Peacemaker.” ‘Thenew King,whileof mature years,islittle known to the general public.While there is hope that heredity and environment augur wel!for hisfuturehehasyettoprovehimself.

It is Calling God to Witness That W: Speak the Trath—A Serious Matter Often Lightly Regarded. Baltimore Sun. Should the day ever come when the solemn oath calling upon God to witness the truth of what we say or promise will be lightly regarded by the generality of men,lt will be the day tbat sounds the deatb knell of ail buman faith and trust.Theoath is the highest tribunal of conscience —{ts cours of last sppeal.._—For she man who realizes thoroughly whe’ means,and really believes in a God, it is something supremely awe-ta- spiring;aod nothing short of duty, or direst need,or at least the most justifiable utility,could induce him te-take it.He uses it not asanordi- pary,everyday confirmation of bis good faith,but only as a last resort. If bis oath won’s suffice to bold him to the truth,assuredly nothing else will.His case is truly hopeless;no confidence can be placed in him,— The oath is,in truth,nothing less than summoning the OmnipotentGod into court to serve as a pledge or security for our good faith.It is bold enough venture even when we fee]that we bave justice and right on our side;and how can we fittingly characterize the act of one who dares to call on the name of the Almighty tosanction an injustice or to witness a lie?To make an equal—a fellow- man—a party to such an infamous proceeding would be justly consid- ered one of the most grievous wrongs we could inflict upon him;to treat a friend thus is one of the meanestand foulest acts of treachery,and it is well nigh impossible,to conceive how even the most depraved could have the hardibood to attempt such trickery with his Maker.‘ The oatb,then,is the strongest and last surviving safeguard of bu- man truth and justice,ofhuman faith and trust;and if that last,strong bulwark ever fails us,then willsure- ly come the deluge.And yet,in spite of its awful sacredness,we bave ample evidence from many quarters shat the oath is treated very frequently with but scant re- spect,and that,too,by people who ciaim to believe firmly in God and His justice.Tbe saloonkeeper who violates bis oath by selling on Sun- day or to minors would likely resent with some force the chargeof insult- ing the Almighty.He will try to justify bimself on the plea that his promise is a mere matter of form,ex- sorted from him—compulsory,hence not binding.So,too,the saloon. keeper’s Sunday customer willoften deny under oath the fact of his get- ting liquor,and seems to think thas charity or friendship will excuse,if pot sanctify,his perjury.Witness: es in other criminai and civil court cases sometimes act similarly and perhaps for the same reason a5 the | foregoing.And as regards office- bolders unmindful of their sworn oaths,we all know their name is legion.‘Doubtless,like the afore- mentioned saloonkeeper,they regard sheir oath of office as a mere matter of form,entailing no serious or rea!| obligation. Morality is certainly at avery low| i =STATE NEWS, ‘At Granite Fails,a village in Cald- wel!county,the issue in the munisi- ysl campsign last week was “poolFroom”’cr'no pool room,’’and the ‘BO poo!room’’folks won.

MR.WAGNER DECLINES POTOFFICE f emcee Will Not Reconsider His Former Refusal —Postoffice Status Unchanged. Mr.L.C.Wagner,who was on Monday appointed postmaster at Statesville,has deolined the ap- pointment.He notified Congress. man Cowles to this effect in a letter mailed to the Congressman Tuesday.While no word has come from Washington it is supposed that the Congressman will bave Mr.Wag ner’s nomination withdrawn Ino fact there is notbing else for him to do.8o far as is known thesituation as to the postoffice stands as it was prior $2 Mr.Wagper’s nomination. Mr.Wagner's position is exactly that announced in Tus Lanpmark of April 22,two days after the appoint- ment of Mr.Reynolds tw succeed Coliector Brown.When theappoint men’of a postmaster at Statesville began to be sgiteted,six months or more ago,Mr.Waguer’s name wasmentionedinconnectionwiththe Office,as it had been on more than one occasion in years pest.Hestas ed that be would not be a candidate for the office.It was generally sup- posed that he was largely influenced in this course by the fact that Mr. Brown,bis father-in-law,held sheofficeofcollector.So soor as Mr. Browa's retirement was announced the public generally jumped to the conciusion that Mr.Wagner would be named as postmaster.Mr.Wag- ner stated promptly that his attitudewesunchanged;tbat baving deolinedtgbeacandidateattheoutsetbedid not think is proper to.enter the rece then;and be said in effect that hewoulddeclinetheofficeifitwas tendered bim.This course be has steadi{astly pursued and has made his words good.Congressman Cowles,however, was persistent.He came to States- vilie about ten days ago and after aconferencewithsomeoltheRepubii- can ldaders Mr.Wagner was agreed On as the choicefor postmaster.Mr. Wagner reiterated bis declination and kept on reiterating it,but bewasappointed,nevertheless.AndpowsheCongressmanrealizesthat while you can lead a borse to water you can’t make him drink.Mr.Wagner desires the public to know that his course is not dictated Byanyill-feeling.Hohasnogrucche. He of course regrets thatMr.Brownwasdisplacedascollector,but bis attitude toward Congressman Cowles and tbe partyisunchanged.He was born a Republican,has always beenaloyalpartymanandwillcontinue one.The postoffice is a desirable berth and Mr.Wagner does not overlooktha$point;nor is he unappreciative of the genera!desire {n the commu nity that he sbould take the office. But under the circumstances be felt it bis duty to decline and be isnotto be moved from that course. a Row.

There is no spot on the transcendent love of Jesus so fallen man.The white snowflake fallingon the ground is discolored,bus when the flakes continue to fall the landscape is transformed,In the same way the love of God constantly shiningin the| sodden human ‘hear?will transform| it and keep it pure.Wecin’satsain| perfection here on earth but we can | attain far more than languagecan de- scribe.} Speakiag of the different types of religious life,Dr.Grier said there was latterly much criticism of the so- berness of Christianity,and not with- out reason,for it often results from pessimism and indigestion.On the other hand the jolly type of religion often begins with good digestion and optimiem and ends there.In the presence of death,facing God and the judgment,it is not the jolly type to which we would turn.The glory and the spirit of the Lord comes byprayer;when Moses talked with God on the mount be was transfigured. Take the word of God and look for Jesus and men will take knowledge of you as baving been with Jesus. His glory and His love will shine threugh you.Remove spiritual ugliness.Thethingthatismarringthebeautyof womanhood is pessimism;theevil of the age is the lack of surrender and the taking of God atHisword.Sur- render to God's will.The yoke that Jesus bore was surrender to God’swill;shat is the secretof itall.Wo- men complain of narrow restrictions. The power of a pure and fragrant life,spotless,uncolored,is woman- hood in its most attractive form.It is by this means that husbands are to be won—notby the outward adorn- ing of the person but by the adorn- ment of ameekand quietspirit.TheholinessandloveofChristcameto earth and redeemedit.The spread- ing abroad of that love among men fills heaven with redeemed.

The Hon.W.H.Bower and Hon. ‘BR Z.Linney were active political antagonists during their public oa- reers,and their earthly pilgrimage ended not far apart.They engaged in®joint canvass as opposing con- greesional candidates in 1894 and at one of their appointments the debate was so warm that they had aperson- al difficulty. a A contemporary remarks that the price of everything in Tennessee is high with the exception of human life.‘‘And Tennessee,'’remarks the Winston Senttnel,‘is not the oaly place where there is too much cheapness along this line.’’North Carolina folks,it may be remarked, have no occasion to talk about blood- shed in Tennessee,or anywhere. Our record in this respect will com- pare with the bess of them. &*a Arotic Explorer Peary is receiving much attention in England,where he is bailed as the genuineand only dis- eoverer of the North Pole. al Geographical Society presented him with a special gold medal in London a few days ago,in the pres- ence of a great assembly.Thus again is \sexemp)ified thata ‘prophet is not without honor save in hisown country and in his own bouse’’;but for any lack of boner in his own country Toe LANDMARK still main- tains that Peary alone is to blame. ** s The editor of the Mocksville Rec- ord made a trip to Yadkinville a few deys ago and after soliciting sub- scriptions for his newspaper made this observation: The people of Yadkin county are the greatest newspaper readers intheworld,or the biggest liars that we ever came in contact with.Near- ly every man we approached said he was taking from four to fifty news-papers. Every newspaper solicitor has doubtless been surprised at the num- ber of people be finds who are ‘‘tak- ing more papers than they can read.” That is a common form of expression intended to paralyze the solicitor. a e A news item in the last issues of Taz Lanpmark stated that Henry Harding,banged for murder,at Wynne,Ark.,bequeathed property in Memphis,Tenn.,valued at $10,000, to tho local homefor incurables.This wasan unusual end seeming!y praise- worthy act,but what is diaturbing Tax Lanpwarx is how they manag- ed to hangs man who had $10,000 worth of property.Surely that fact Was not known at the time of Hard- fng's taking off.If it was known and unbeeded,then Arkansas must beaboutas ‘uncivilized’asVirginia, where they occasionally pass up a man of wealth and prominence,same as the common herd.In North Car- olina one whocan command a few hundred dollars to employ attorneys is reasonah'y safe from the law’s exactions. 7 ** The Post quotes a Salisoury cen-sus enumerator as expressing theOpinionthatBalisbury’s populationwillbeinexcessof.7,000.‘This,ofcourse,”’says the Poss,‘‘does notincludethe6,000 or 7,000people justinthesuburbs.”’Of course not,The trouble with all our towns-—cities—that have such tremendous population is that half the folks,ortwothirds,are justoutside,orsomeawhere.Anyway they’re notin therightplacewhenUncleSamcountsnoses.A year or soago Charlotie tookinaboutallthesuburbsand‘a considerablesliceoffarmingterritory, if reports are to be believed,andTurLanpMarkhasbeenwonderingwhatexcuse—except the worn-outoneofinaccuracy—the Charlotte pa-pers would offer when the censusfiguresshow33}to 50 per cent.lessPopulationthanhasbeenclaimed. e a*““When the official figures are published,"’says the Asheville Citizen,referring to the census,“you aregoingtohearonelongbow]that willbeheardclearfacrossthecontinent.The loudest bow!will,of course,@omeoutof Atlanta,where the papersBillirsistthasthecensustakersWenttosleepandomittedcitizensby‘eee thousands.But,then,we canallfailbackonourCitydirectories>and keep on making the same strenmousclaimsaswebaveinthepast.”’Just what Tax LAnpwark hay beenmeyiog’all along.The waila haveslreadycomefrom“Asbeviiie,Chur:lotse and other North Carolina towns,where {twas charged that numerouseltizenswereomittedinthecount,ene North Carolina paper claimingtheomissionof&whole city block.fa thé Citizen says,the newspapers TheRoy-: general public forgets the figures, aud go on claiming. e @ Io printing the ‘‘pome’’of the Ca- barrus jail bird Tas Lanpmark was unable to recall the lines of the Alexander near-poet,whigh so mov- ed Judge Cioud that be released the author from jail;buta native Alex- andrian resident in Statesville has refreshed Tas LANDMARK’s memory. The poet laureate was Lee Mullis, long a noted mail carrier.Lee got {nto a difficulty which brought bim before Judge Cloud’s court,and be- ing unable to pay a fine he was or- dered to jail,notwithstanding the eloquent plea made in his behalf by Mr.RZ.Linney.On his way to the bastile the slumbering fires of poesy were aroused in Mullis and he produced the following: “Here's to the water that flows on the wheel.And death is something we all must feel;If life was a bleasing that money could buyTheuewouldallliveandthepoorwould all When these lines were read to Judge Cloud he swore by the eter- nal that the poet laureate of Alexan- der should not languish in jail,and Mullis was promptly given his fres- dom.*+ A writer in the Charlotte News says sewing will soon become a lost art except by professional seam- stresses.That seems to be a fact. The modern female apparel {s too complicated to be constructed by the average housewife,even if she bave time for the work;only one thorough- ly versed in the art can dois proper- ly,and few women,under modern conditions of life,especially in the towns and cities,can do more than plain sewing,if that.The News writer further calls attention to the fact that the great army of women teachers,Stenographers,clerks,etc, have no time to sew and must buy clothes ready-made.‘“*Sunday,’’ says this writer,‘‘istheonly day this class of female workers haveat home and needles fiy fast on a Sunday, mending andpatchingand darning.’’ So it seems that among other,ghings the changed conditions have brought an additional violation of Sunday,the clothes being mended on the Lord’s day.Possibly someof the timegiven to card parties and other social pleasures might be giventothe sew- ing—but that is another story. Is was charged by theadherents of the Democratic org «nization in Wake county,and others,that the moving causeofthe fightof Mr.Daniels,edit- or of the Raleigh News and Observ- er,against the party organization is because the organization is not supporting the candidacy of F.A.

The Lord Removed Jackson That the Confederacy Might Fail. Richmond News-Leader,10th. ‘Having decreed in Thy wisdom that the South should not attain its independence by arms Thou dids’ find it necessary,O Lord,to take to Thyself Thy servant,‘Thomas J. Jackson.’’ Such was the quaint prayer of a devout Presbyterian divine intense ly loyal to the South,in which he struggled to bow meekly to the wil! of Providence when General Lee's great lieutenant fell 47 years ago today.Jackson was great enough fully to appreciate the splendor:f Lee's transcendent military genius, au@ the one man in the South wnocog!d grasp the full spirit and carry into execution the plans of his chie!. It is idle to speculate upon what might have been,but there are those who very firmly believe that tad Jackson lived there would bave been no Gettysburg,no Wilderness,voAppomattox,because there wou d have been no army of the Potomac to fight them.Is would have been de- stroyed at Chancellorsville,and,asa consequence,the South would have dictated peace in Washington. After ail,the pious divine may bave beeo right.Appomattox may not have been because of Getiys burg,or because of Grant,but be- cause of God. House Asks Attorney Genera!.For In- formation.

VOL.XXXVI.. THE COLLEGE FINALS. DR.HARRISGQN DISCUSSES CULTURE. An ing and Helpful Addrese— The Gras Reading of Hener Rell,Award of .Med-Exercises— ale,Esce.—The ball ste Ban The finals of the commencement exercises at Statesville Female Col- lege took place in Shearer Music Hall on night in the presence of a arge and appreciative audience of friends and patrons of the institu-tion.The Senior class,tbe princi-pals of the oovasion,and the music and businesagraduates,were seatedon‘tbe rostrum with she collegepresident,the orator of the cccasion, the introducer of the speaker and members of the board of trustees of the institution.The Seniors wereattiredintheircapsandgownsandtheothergraduatesworewhite,the young gentleman graduate excepted. Probably the most admired personontherostrumwastheSeniormas- cot,Little Sara Kincaid,who was seated just in front of the graduates beneath the class banner,a large pansy bearing the figures ‘10.Achainofivywasdrapedaroundthe front of the rostrum.Tne exercises opened witb abymn by the college chorus class,followedbyaprayerandtheintroductionof the speaker by Rev.C..E.Raynal,of the First Presbyterian church.InintroducingDr.Thos.P.Harrison, former professor at Davidson Col- lege,now atthe A.&.M.College, Raleigh,Mr.Raynal emphasized toenecessityofonehavingaliterary education as wel!as being thorough- ly trained in the line of work whichbeistofollowinlife,such aneducs- tion as is given in the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Raleigh. The broader s man's knowledge,thebetterandmorethoroughbiswork.Those who accomplish things are those who know many things and concentrate on one.In beginning bis address,after making afew brief remarks about the A.&M.College,Dr.Harrison men-tioned the gratifying.growth and progress of Statesville college,ex- pressed his appreciation of and com- mended the work of the president oftheinstitution,Dr.John A.ScottHealeopeidadeservedtributetoRev.J.B.Shearer,D.D.,who has done so much for the college,at theconclusionofwhichtheaudience cheered heartily.Coming to themessagetothegraduatingstudents,the speaker stated that of all the times in life when we stop to take a look back ward and onetothe future, commencement day is the most im-portant one to thestudents.Atthis time they have visions of the possi- bilities of the future,and as there is gome darkness ahead many of the young people hesitate.The firstquestioncomingtotheyoungmanis what be sbail do in life,but the su- premé end every young womat has in view and the question she asks is,*“*How can I make the best of my op- portunities in the bome over which I shall-preside'’?The essential thioginshehomeiscultureandcuiture should be carried home from collegebythegraduate.Culture is one of those beautiful things which defy definition,though it may beanalyzed. It is love of things thatare beautiful, true and good.The beauty,truth and goodness which go to make up culture were then discussed.The beauty in culture is not excessive or-nementation in dress,writing,etc., this being found among the uncul- tured.It isorder and harmony;har- mony of conduct and manners,tact- -falness in speech,goodtaste.Thusdefineditisoneoftheessentialsof culture.The truth which is essen- tial in culture must be taken to in- clude knowledge and fact and ex-clude pretense.Though truth does pot.produce the ideal character,truthful dealings with man and man ia necessary.We must recognize that we do not yet know all things.Edi-son was told by the great scientists that the electric incandescent lightwasimpossible,but wenow have the lights.God is still revealing Him-self to the world;the bookof know!- edge is not yet entirely open and wemustnotcloseourmindstonew truth.Do not be afraid of truth but be sure that itis truth and don’t be blown about by every wind of doc-trine.Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good.Bacon said truth ig the supreme human good. The goodness in culture is not relig- fosity and sanctimoniousness.It must include the ethical;it is the great motive power in life which makes us desirous of leaving theworldbetterthanwefoundit;it makes men do things.It is notanegativebutapositivething.After making the summary of the three things which are contained in oulture—besuty,truth and goodnéss—Dr,Harrison explained ‘how the ideas brought out might be put into tice.“‘The Popeoft Rome,’said he,‘when the Turks were about to overrun Europe on a former visit ofHalley’s comet,issued am edict against the Turks,the cometand the devil.Wedo not want to iesue anedictagains$tha devil and the eomet, but we mast make an edict againstUness,i aad vice inorthCe"‘Twodirectionsin # STATESVILLE,N.C.,FRIDAY,MAY ZO,1910. which the young women may applythemselvesanddomuchareforbet- tereducationand rhealth.Nev er before bas sbere been such usefulendeavorsforbetterhealthandedu- cation An iotelligent fightis beinmadeagainstdiseaseanditisfou tbat much of illness and death is duetoimpuremilkanddirtywater,which js used through ignorance and carelessness.Young women sbould inform themselves of the laws of health and should notaliow any falsemodestyorotherobstaclestokeep them from protecting the health oftheirbodies.The possibilities of a young lady college uate are be- yond conception and her influence in- calculable.Men and women can dothingsbybandingtogetberandthus great movenents for the sake of health and education have been in- augurated.The community idea is a good one.Local organizations ofwomencanaccomplishmuchgood. Speaking of the effort in NorthCarolinatoeducateallthepeopie Dr.Harrison questioned whether all the people are sincere.If we aresinoeretheschooltermsintherural districts would be longer and the sal- aries of the teacbers better,he de-clared.We can't give all the people literary educations and as Roosevelt said in bis recent address at Paris, “she liserary educationofall the ped-ple is impossible and nod desired ifible.”We have sinfully neg-ected training the boys and girls for life.They bave not been trained for effic ;they should be trained todothethingssetbeforethem.Find out what the boy is to do and teachbimtodoitwithsomebrainworkand do it well.Develop the talent which be has.Training for efficiency is greatly needed in this country,where boys should be taught agri- culture and girls domestic science. The speaker stated that he hoped most of the graduates to whom bewasspeakingwouldliveinthacoun- try and help to elevate the communi- ties in which they lived by sheircu!l-ture.Health,education andgomes- tic science,especialiy thelatter,are worthy the bésethought.Themost highly cultured womanknowntothespeakertoldhimtotel!the young ladies to makethebestof themselvescultivatingtheirtalentsandabii-ities,The motto of a women’s clubinRaleighis‘Culture fn service;culture for service.’’The finessculturecomesfromservice.Give out and it comes back in richness.Put -into practice the three thingsthatmakeculture.Culture is a pow- er +0 do things in the world and do them effectively. Dr.Harrison spoke deliberately and distinctiy and bis hearers gave bim close attention.His remarks were sensible and are worthy of theconsiderationofthosetowhomthey were directed. Immediateiy after the address a piano selection was rendered by Miss Annabel Mills,followed by the livery,of the salutatory by Miss rleene Gilmer.president of the Senior class.Miss*Gitmer's essaywasoriginal,brigt tand well render- ed.The recent bad cold weather hasbeenattributedto Halley's comet, but accordingto Miss Gilmer the ob-ject of the appearance of the comet this year was to do honor to her graduating class.When Miss Gil- mer had concluded Miss CarmienPrice,the president of the studentbody,read the medal-winning essay on the history of Statesville collegeanditsinfluenceonIredellcounty,which was written by Miss Hill. The essay was well written and isverycreditabletoitsauthor.It proved exceedingly interesting to the audience.Following the reading of theessay and after making a few explanatory remarks as to the work necessary in attaining the honor grades,grades were announced and certificates awarded by President Scott.The following young ladies madean aver- age of 90 and above in the year’swork:Freshmen —Misses Martha Oliver,Beulah Arey and Vera Foy, first honor;Misses Carrie Mae Watts, Roberta Taylor,Janie McNeill,John- sie Rankin and Mary Brumley,sec- ond honor.Sophomores —MissesLauraTownsend,Rebecca Miller and Margaret Alexander,first honor; Misses Jane Ervin,Mary Henderson, and Rosa Guy,second honor.Jun-fors—Miss Katherine Soott,first honor;Misses Rachel Summers,Al- lie Mae Arey,Mary Bradford,Emma Cannon,Grace Sossaman,Helen Wil-son and Mary Ball,second honor.

A trip like this has no precedent jn western North Carolina.Itis 23 miles from Edgemont,Cald we)!coun- ty,to Linville,Mitchell county.To ‘stand off and take a bird's-eye view of the country through which the road runs,no one would think that an automobile could be driven through there.But it is a beautiful winding road,constructed with ar average gradeof from 5t07 per cent. There are many sbarp curves butas 3 whole the road bed ts smooth and with careful driving the machines glide easily and safely over it.From Edgemont to Linville wedid not meeta vebiclsof any kind and the only horse we saw was grazing some distance from the road.A runner bad been sent abead to notify the na- tives that we would be along and as a result we did not haveany trouble. Word bad been ‘‘putout’’allthrough the country that the automobiles would travel the road that day snd the people were expecting us.Six miles on our journey an aged couplehadproppedthemselvesinthefence corner to see us pass.A little fur. ther on a handfull had gatheredtoseeusgobyandstillalittlefurtherontherewereprobably25occupying vantage ground along she banks of the road.When we reached Cary's Flats the people for miles around were there,al]ages from the cradle to the grave being represented.Many of these spectators had along their poke-stock guns and riffes,having brought them along to shoot ground squirrels in their corn,they said. They might have been kidding us about this,the writer doesn’t know. However,it was not an unusual sight al)along the way,to see young girls carrying rifies.At this par- ticular place was a splendid point to get a photographof the machines and the party.Miss Royster,of Raleigh, was the official photographer for the trip and took many pictures.Allof those,probably 150,who had assem- bled there to sée us pass were taken for an automobile ride up and down the road.Some of the cars carried as many as 15 or 20atatrip.Inthis way we solved the automobile prob- lem there and won the friendship of all,One of the natives was s0 pleas- ed with the ‘‘biamed things’’tbat he rode with usa mileorso.Whiie at Cary's Flats one Mr.Lowdermiik,anative,entertained vs with a fewgoodfiddleselectionsslatheold]; style..He accompanied his playingwithsinging,oneof the pieces being“Goin’to the Funera!.’’Mr.How-ard A.Banks,of the Hickory Demo-crat,who was belping execute thedetailsofthetrip,showed himself adiplomatamongthemountaineers.We saw him go up and chuckle alit-tle brat under the chin,“‘How oldareyou?’’asked Mr.Banks.‘‘Elev-‘on months,”’volunteered the parent.“I have one at bome just that age,”’ replied Mr.Banks,and for this hestoodwelljnthegracesofthefond parent.And all who did assembleslongtheroadtoseethepartyhadontheirSundaybest.

May 20,1910. Pd POLITICAL GEOGRAPHICALMIX-UP. From present indications theknot- est problem the Democratic State eonvention will have to settle will be the nomination of members of the worporation commission.Theterms of the commissioners are six years and one expires every two yéars, This year the term of Mr.Rogers, the member from the western partof the State,expires,and in additionto naming a candidate for the full term to succeed Mr.Rogers a candidate will also be nominated to fill out the unexpired term of B.B.Aycock,of Wayne county,deceased.When Mr.Rogern decided that he would not be a candidate for renomination, Mr.H.C.Brown,clerk to the com-. migsion;Mr.Pearson,of Burkecoun- ty;Mr.Lee,of Haywood,and prob- ably others,entered the race to suc- ecsed him.In presenting his claims for the nomination Mr.Brown em- phasized the fact that he was from the western part of the State,being g resident of Surry county when he was appointed clerk to the commis- sion 18 years ago,since which time he bas of course lived in Raleigh, where his work is located. ‘When Mr.Aycock died about20 citizens from all parts of the State asked for the place.Mr.Brown was appointed.When Judge Graham,of Granville,announced that inasmuch as Mr.Brown was a candidate for the nomination for the ful]term to succeed Mr.Rogers,from the west- ern part of the State,he would ask ‘the convention to name himtofill out the unexpired term of Mr.Aycock, from the eastern section.But Mr. Brown said nay..He bad been ap- This town and commupity is ‘‘wide open’for automobiles.Noattention whatever is paid to the law for the very good reason that no attempt is made to enforce it and it is a dead letter.”The officers whose business {t is to look after its enforcement pay no attention to it whatever. After somebody has been maimed or killed there will be much talk and regret,and the blame will not rest on the reckless auto-driver ‘alone; those who fail to perform aduty will have to bear their share.THE LanpMakxk has no patience with the unreasonable prejudice against au- tomobiles.Tbe owners of these machines have rights and when they give due regard’to the rights of others there is no just cause for complaint.Most of the chauffeurs in Statesville are fairly considerate; but the recklessness of a few endan- gers the whole and toomany of them pass the speed limit often.Since the number of machines has sogreat- ly increased most of the equine spe- cies have become reasonably immune as to fright,but some of the machines have added new ‘terrors,both by tooting horns purely for the ‘‘big of the thing,’’to call folks to witness that they are riding,and by having horns that utter screams like unto that of a wild cat,making not only a new terror for the horses but an extra annoyance for the people who have to endure the sound.The ex- tra and unnecessary noise may not be intended purely to make the ma- chine as muchofaterroraspossible, but it is inexcusable in any event. In times past’Iredell Superior Court has been adjourned for almost any reason—whenever the judge or some of the lawyers wanted to go pointedtofill the vacancycaused by |,,mewhere,do something else,orMr.Ayoock’s death and he would|jug,wantedto quit.The May term ask the convention to name him for |i,,busy time with the farmers andthatsamefouryearsofunexpired|,9x4 week most of those who attend term.Very well,says Judge Gra-|noury will probably do so ata sacri- ham.Mr.Brown claims he is &/fo How would it do for the farm- western man and be elects to take|4+,who are jurors and witnesses to the four-year term.Then I willask |.)shat the term be adjourned untiltheconventionforthesix-year term @s a representative of the eastern section. Mr.Brown of course doesn’t care whether they locate him in the east or west,north,south or center,so they give him what be is asking for. But Mr.Lee,of Haywood,Mr.Pear- won,of Burke,and other westerd folks will raise a mighty how!when Judge Grabam or any other eastern man attempts to appropriate that six- year torm Mr.‘Rogers is vacating. They will deny Mr.Brown and the easterners will answer that Mr. Broen originally urged bis claims as a western man,and,quoting our old friend Dooley,‘‘there ye are.’’ In the mix-up Mr.Brewn may find himeelf ‘a borphan’”’so far as loca- tion is concerned,buthis well:known ability and fitness for the work makes him a candidate whose strength can- not be lightly regarded,no matter where be hails from. The attempt to preserve the geo- graphical equation in distributing the State offices sometimes brings -about-a puzzling situation. The Salisbury Post hears itrumor od that T.B.Bailey,Esq.,will beafandidatefortheDemocraticnomi- mation for judge of the Superior Court in this district;and the Post ways it is also talked shat Solicitor Hammer will be in the race.Tur LANDMARK understands that Mr. Hammer will again contest for the Democratic nomination for solicitor, and while itbhas no information on thatpointthispaperdoesnotbelieveMr.Bailey will be in the race.Mr.Wright,of Rowan,will probably beJudgeLong's only opponent.The‘opposition to Judge Long is somewhatunusual.He is finishing hisfirsttermandaccordingtoDemooraticprecedentheisentitiedtoanother.His ability and bis qualifica crops are laid by,or to some more convenient season for them toattend? Oa one occasion I reds)court wasad- journed without notice for the judge and the lawyers to goto Charlotteon an excursion.Possibly farmersand business men who have to attend court might secure an adjournment some time for a reai reason,but we doubt it.If a good and sufficient reason fails to secure the relief they might ask for an adjournment to go afishing,have a picnic,or something of the kind. Charlotte is making a bid to have Bishop Kilgo adopt that city as his home.Durham will naturally want him to comsinue his residence there, but if Charlotte is anxious it mighr offer to make the doctor a present of a handsome home as an inducement. at $12,000."

LONG AND SHORT HAUL USE. The Measure Passedoy Senate LastWeekofDoubtfulValue.> Tue LANDMARK has mentioned the strenuous fight of Senators Overman. and Simmons to secure the adoption of a ‘long and short haul’clause to the railroad bill,pending In theSen- ate,which would preven’the out-rageous freight rate discriminationoracticedbytherailagainst North Carolina towns in favorofVirginia.Instances of thie dis-crimination,quoted from aspeech of Senator Overman and showing thebigherrateschargedforasbortbau!wo North Carolina points as againstalongerbau!and lower rates to Virginia points—in most instancesthesbortbau!heingembraced withinthelonghaul—were published intoefastissueofTHeLANDMARK. Last week the Senate vassed tbe long’and short haul provision,which is as follows: “That it shall be unlawful for avy common oarrier subject to the provisionsofthisacttuchargeorre ceive any greater compensation intheaggregateforthetransportation of passengers,or of like kind of property,for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same lineorrouteinthesamedirection,the sbortér being included w#ith the longer distance,or to charge any greater compensation as a through route than the aggregate of the local retes;but this shall not be construed as authorizing any common.carrier witbin the terms of this act tocharge orreceive as great compensation for a sborter than for a longer distance. ‘Provided,however,that the In- ter State Commerce Commission may from ils knowledge,or from informa- tion,or upon application,ascertain tbat the circumstances and condi- tions of the longer haul are diseimi- ‘ar to the circumstances and condi- tions of the shorter baul,whether they result [rom competition by waserorrail;then it may autborizs a common carrier to charge less for the longer than for the shorter dis- tances for the transportation of pas-sengersor property:but innoevent sball the authority be granted unless the commission is satisfied that all the rates involved are just and rea sonable and not unjustly discrimina- tury nor unduly preferential or prej udicial. rates.or charges lawfu'ly existing at the time of the passage of this smendatory act shall be required to be changed by reason of the provis jons of this section prior to the ex- piration of six months after the pas- esge of this act,nor in any case *nere application shall have been fied before the commission,in ao- cordance with the provisions of this seceion,until adeterminationofsuch apvlication by the commission.”’Whether this act will remedy the evil complained of is a matter of g:svedoubt.While the Democrats and certain insurgent Republicans ies tbe Movement twsecure the adop- tivo of a law shat’would prevent the di-criwination®whet the much- auended measure,cagns to a vote Secator Aldrich and bis followers voied for it and it was passed by a vo.e of 67 10 10.Some of the Damo- cre's sought to claim the crédit for th-measure;others claim that it will be wvorta nothing;that if it was of cor sequence Senator Aldrich and theotterRepublicanswhorepresent“Tne Interests”would never have vot-d for it.Some of the Democratswh.voted for it question its worth. Ser ator Simmogs,voted for it and bel »vesitwillbelp.Senators Over-mar,Bailey and otber Democratsvoidsgainstit,Senator Overman ins'sting that it is worth nothing. The Washington correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer says, in ¢soussing the matter:“The truth of the situation is thattheKepublicadsfoundoutthatthey cov 4 not pass the Dixon amendment and that if they permitted a vote the ame.dment offered by Senator Over- map vouldprevail.Practically everyDemocratintheSenatehadpromised40voveforSenatorOverman’samend- men’,and there were more than a score who declared they would not suprorttbe Diton amendment.When they at once framed tp the'deal fora compromise that would not carry Democratic authorship.’’ Wisbout questioning the good faithofthoseDemocratswhovotedforthemeasure,either with the idea that it will accomplish something,or with the hope that some good wil!comeof {t,and that it was best to pass it, seeing they could get nothing better.Tux LANDMARK inclines to the opin-fon thas the North Carolina business men who are looking for relief from freight rate discrimination aredoom- ed to disappointment.

Is Mr.Brown a western man?At one time he so proclaimed himself. Then shall he take the term of cor- poration commissioner heretoforeas- signed totheeasternsection?If the westerners acknowledge hima west- ero man and aid in bis candidacy, they can’t blame Judge Graham for asking for the six year term.The solution for the westerners is to as- sign Mr.Brown to the central part of the State and urge Judge Graham tocontestwithhim.Inother words, to deny Mr.Brown’s claim w being @ western man.

To ste Corporation Commission: The plans for the Statesville passen> ger station were approved and ac- cepted after long delay.Willactual work begin on the building this year or some other year?Is the power of the corporation commission ex- hausted when plans are made?An early reply will be appreciated. Se Prior to the meeting of the Gener- al Methodist Conference in Asheville shere was much telk in the newspa- pers of proposed changes in Church affairs—the extension of the time limit of pastors,the change of the name of the Church by dropping the word South,larger representation for the laity,giving women the rights of the laity,etc.,etc.None of these changes was made.TheConference was a conservative body and few ehanges of importance secured fa- .worable action.Churches are very ‘eonservative;they make changes slowly,While sometimes the neces- sity for and advantage of a change is apparent,i¢is well that the relig- fousbodies areconservative,There- io lies their safety.Radicalism would soon destroy them.Some of the changes attempted at this Gener- al Conference will doubtlessbemade at the next;but itis well,asalready stated,that the Churches moveslow- ly in the matter of change. Mr.E,S.Millsaps,who is labor- ing earnestly for the material better- men?of Iredell,announces that an exhibition of live stock,agricultural and domestic products,will be beld in Statesville next fall,on a date to be named.There has been much talk of a fair for Iredell,and the idea has met with favor,but up to this time nothing has beendone.Seeing thas if the fair ia ever held somebody bad to make a start,Mr.Millsapa is blazing the way.He wants help if be can get it,but he proposes to bave the fair anyway.He should bave help and wil]doubtless ges it when the work is set agoing.Tur LaNpMARK commends theenterprise. This paper bas never talked fair for Iredell for the reason that the aver- age so-called agrictiltural fair is a humbug.From the State fair down they are made up of a small per cent of agricultural and domestic pro-ducts,the balance cheap fake shows,@amblers,etc.Te LANDMARK takes0stockinthatsortofenterprise.Mr.Millsaps proposes 10 have a.purely agricultural fair and we trustthatthepeopleofIredellwillcome40hisaidandputupanexhibition ,ext fall of which we will all beProud.This can easily be done.

The literary address of Dr.W.P. Few,of Trinity College,before the graduates and a large audience of friends and patrons Monday evening, was a scholarly and elevating one,the product of deep and practical thinking.The interest of the audi- ence in what he said was evinced by the close attention given.In beginning Dr.Few declared we are trying in this country the most gi- gantio experiment in government that has been tried in the world,andaskedthequestion,‘Can we build here in the enduring form a govern- ment of the people,by the peopleandforthepeople?’Success in this experiment,said the speaker,wil! depend,upon continued develop- ment,generation after generation,of men and women of intelligence and character.One means towards this end is the success of education. This education must not be mere in- tellectual gymnastics,but it must produce fruits in the soundness of men,soundness ofbody,of mind andofcharacter.The physical condi- tions of life have been vastly im- proved by modern scienceand Amer- ioan ingenuity and business succéss js one of the marvels “of the age.These things are valuable assete ofour.dat we must findwaystousethemfortherelief THE LANDMARK @ meda!next year for the bes?ora-| is now in the seventh,had neither|3ringer)township yesterday,afser an |‘ tire school career,and Supt.Thomp-|illness of only a few days,aged about|. Pee Towards this end we shal!do more more.In our complicated modernsociety, continued Dr.Few,is is of essential importance in the democratic gov-ernment that the masses of plesballhaveasufficientlytrained{ntel-ligence to think straightandto think through to right conclusions with cogency of mind and moral courage.Mora!courage to follow one’s conclu- sions,sound and safe thinking,isapttoberare.This use of the trained mind is readily apparent. Bout equally useful im @ country ofprosperityisittoteachthepleasuresofmind.In this nation of wealth,to fare sumptvously,to live magnifi- cently,is apt to be regarded by too many people as the one means to happiness.The mind,too,has re- sources of satisfaction,and to bringthemassesofpeopletorealizethis is the surest safeguard against the blighting curseof materialism.Bus nod even in the glories of the mindlieshumangreatness.It is found rather in the ‘‘whatis’’,theessential character of man.We have good authority for saying that the great- est things are faith,hope and chari- ty.The sort of things we believe in, the things we love,the things we aspire to—these are the things that make us.We need to teach faith tothecominggeneration,faith in thegreatthingsofhumanlife.From such faith will spring consecration to the great masses of men and wil- lingness to serve and sacrifice forthem.Out of charity will come breadth of view and comprehensivesympathiesthatwillgivepeopleofarepublicaworkingacquaintance with other men,good and true,in every rank and station.This will break down casts and destroy tte separatism that divides men intowarringcamps,sets the country against the town,arrays one section of society against other sections,and breeds socialism,intellectual Brah-msnism and theother ills of isdlation that have in the past cursed the hu-man race.In our democracy,if we areto succeed,we mus?work togetherbandinhandforthelibertyand bsppiness of man.Emerson said:‘'We judge of a man’s wisdom by his bope’’.In our democracy we often need to be reas- sured by the hopefulness of the wise.**Believe and thou shalt be saved’’ bas peculiar force in the life of a na- tion.On the coins of ancient Spain there was a device in which the shield of Castilo and Leon were sup- ported by the pillars of Hercules,which marked the limit of the old age.But the motto spoke of no limit.“*Plus Uitra’’;it read—there is more beyond,but what that more might be no man could know.SoforththeywentinsearchofElDo. rado and the ‘‘Fountain of Eternal Youtb,’’and they found America.If we can send out enough enlight la@ned and high-minded youth withcoerageandhopetogobeyondthe lioafts of past experience in search of ja new El Dorado of opportunity,we |shall yet find,not in some far west- ernisiand,not in some sweet golden clime of imagination,but here in our own country shall we find a greater America.

LLL It is mentioned in she news col- amns of THz LANDMARK today that a statistician has figured out that $500,- 900,000 will be spent for ‘‘sofs’’ @rinks in the United States this year.Judging from the extent of the business the figures do notseem unreasonable, ‘es In a talk at the State Normal com- zmaencement at Greensboro this week Gov.Kitchin expressed the opinion that a North Carolinian oughttoread the State constitution at least once a year.Good ides;and every office- holder ought to read once a month the pledges and promises made in the campaign. The son of Editor Sherrill,-of Con- cord,recently graduated from the graded schools of that town at the age of 17 and his record showed that he badn’t missed a day in school since he entered at the age of six. Statesville promises to equal Con- cord's record in this respect,Henry Nicholson entered the first grade of the Statesville graded school and has progressed tothe seventh without missing a day.If good fortune fa- vors Henry he will graduate with a record equal to that of the Concord young man. Regardless of what may be the re sult of the postoffice primary tomor- row,Tux LANDMARK is constrained to say that it bas a poor opinion of this method of selecting a postmaster. If a postmaster is to beelected atali, then iv would follow that the elector- ate should at least be composed of those directly interested in the ad- ministration of the office.Thegreat majority of those called to name a postmaster in Statesville tomorrow have ro direct concern in theadmin- istration of theoffice.Congressman owles should have shouldered the Yesponsibility,which is his,and mamed the man.His dodging be-hind the committee will not relieve him if the candidate should prove unacceptable. Halley's comet,which bas aboutdisappearedfromtherangeofthe At ameetingofthe NationalWhole-sale Liquor Dealers’Association at Cincinnati last week,at which an “aggressive campaignagainst sump- tuary laws was planned,’’Emll Ne- than,of St,Louis,declared:“Whis-| key has-no friends in public and no enemies in private.’’If Mr.Nathan will make a slight modification by changing ‘‘no”to ‘‘few’’he will have it nearly correct. Charity and Children has the proper view of the situation in this judicial district,It says: **We are amazedto hear that Judge B.F.Long is to have opposition for re-nomination to thé bench.He is guilty of no breach of trust and no failure to discharge his duty faith- fully.If he is defeated it will be be- cause he held the scales of justicein an even hand,anda failure toendorse bis course would be a serious reftec- tion on the virture of the citizenship of his district,We cannot believe that this attempt to punish a just jadge for discharging his duty will succeed,’’ Taking note of she fact that Tux LANDMARK had questioned the cor-poration commission with reference to the beginning of work on theStatesvillestation,the Charlotte Chronicle says: Good.In behalf of the generaltravelingpublic,which wants toseesomethingdoneatStatesville,otherthangravelingthetrainyardandpaintingtheshack,the Chronicle ®xpresses satisfaction to see themanifestationofsomeimpatienceonthepartofTazLanpmark.If it istobethebeginningofacbunkingup;campaign wewi!!soon see somethingdoinginthematterofanewdeposforStatesville.

So was this out of order.Mr.R.V.Tharpe was in the lead all she way up to about the 18th bal-jot,I do not recall the exact balios.

Mooresville Enterprise,26th, _One of the officers of the Denver and Lincolnton Railway CompanyvisitedMooresvilleTuesdayofthis week to learn what the attitude of the Coddle Creek and Davidson township citizens would be towardsaidingthatrailroadtoextendits proposed line from Denver,in Lin- Coln county,through Mountain Creek township,in Catawbs county,andthencethroughDavidsonanddleCreektownshipstoMooresville.As is known,the Denver and Lin-colnton Railway Company was char- tered by the North Carolina Legisla- m.|ture of 1909.Under ite charter the road can operate by steam,electrici- ty or other motor power,and gener- ally speaking,can build linesin Lin- coin,Catawba,[redeli,Gaston and apartofMecklenburgcounties.All the townships,towns,cities and counties in this territory have been especially authorized by the Legis- lature in the charter of the railroad to subscribe to the stock of the rail-way and to issue bonds in paymen?. Briefly outlined the plans of the company are to build a road betweenLincolntonandMooresvillebyway of Denver and to build south from Denver to Mount.Holly,Gaston qounty,where it will connect wish the SeaboardAirLinerailway.This will serve an exceptionally produc- tive country with transportation fa- Cilities that are much needed,and it is believed from the canvass so far made that jt will make the railroad aPayingenterpise.I will be noted that the roadasoutlinedwill connectwiththreeexistingrailroads,to which will be added a fourth if theproposedroadbetweenAnderson, 8.C.,and Durham,N.C.,by way of Mount Holly,is buils.The plans of the originators of the Project have been to raise all the capital possible locally and to thisendtheyhavedeterminedtoissue5percent.preferred stock,the shares to be of small par value,aud to ac- ceptin paymentfor this stock cross-ties,trestle timber,lumber for sta- tions and platforms,labor and team work oo the grade and cash if any one prefers to pay that to supplying the above materials or labor.Sofar the pian has worked well,there be- ing over 190 stockbolders in Lin- coin county.The president of the road believes that all of the cross- ties,trestle timber and !umber and part of the labor and team work can be secured in this way. {It is further stated that Catawba Springs township,Lincoln county, has already voted 840,000 in bondsfortheroad.The amount of bonds suggested for Coddle Creek is $50,- 000,Davidson $25,00 and MountainCreektownship,Catawba county, $35,000.) French Submarine Boat Sunk in EnglischvnChannel. Calais,France,Dispatch.26th. Another French submarine,the|Pluviose,with all her crew aboard, |lies tonight in 30 fathoms of water. |Sbhe was sent to the bottom of the English channel this afternoon by the |cross channel steamer Pas de Calais,which,crowded with passengers bound for Dover,struck the partly submerged Piaviose,when abouttwo miles from the barbor. Accounts differ as to the cause oftheaccident.Admiral Fournier has expressed the opinion that the sub-|marine attempted to pass beneath the |steamer,while other officials shink that the Pluviose,after a long dive, |came upbychance directly under the paddle wheels.The sbocks of the contact brought \the passengers to the steamer’s |ralis and they saw almost instantly|the hull of the submarine,rollings |about as though trying to right her- \self.A boat was hastily launched, but the foundering craft,which seem- ed 40 have been hit,turned pardly over and disappeared. {There are 27 men in the boat andwhileeffortswerepromptlymadeto rai he wreck there is little hope shat any of the crew escaped death.| Unique Encounter Between Billy Goat and Dog.

Oh ysA sofesia With reference to his criticism of Democratic membersof the House for their opposition to the appro- priation to pay the President's traveling expenses—to which refer- ence is made on anotber page of Tus LANDMARK—Chairman Tawney, of the appropriations committee,is- sued the following statement:| “Itia ridiculous to suppose thatIwouldreflectprivately,much lesspublicly,upon thefloor of the HouseofRepresentativesuponSouthernhospitality,which is proverbial,and than which—as I can say fromexperience—there is nothing more cordial or more generous to beimagined.I had spoken of a manwhowouldaskthePresidenttobehisguest,entertain him and.thencriticisehimformakingthevisit,as ‘in effect charging him board.’Mr.Bartlett,of Georgia,evidentlymisunderstandingmyremark,thendemandedtoknowofasinglein-stance where the President waschargedboard,and RepresentativeHamer,of Idaho,before I could re-ply,injected the facetious commentthathethoughtitwasinGeorgia.Of course,the President was neverchargedforhisboardwhentheguestofanyoneinGeorgiaorany-where else,and no such allegationwasmade.”’ The chamber of commerce,mer- chants’and manufacturers’associa- tion,cotton exchange and other business bodies of Augusta,Ga., have adopted a resolution protesting against the Democratic opposition to the appropriation and offering %o contribute $5,000to meet the defi- ciency.The President,it is stated, was much gratified by this action of the Augusta business men but he will not accept the offer.He will pay the deficiency,which amounts to $7,000 or $8,000,from bis own Private funds.That was to be ex- pected,but the Georgia folks got some free advertising out of the in- cident,as is their custom. Seeing that so many of them had urged the President to make trips, there is ground for criticism of the Democrats for their opposition tothepaymentoftheexpenseaccount but the action of the President’s secretary in furnishing the names of Democrats who rode on the President's train;and the action ofMr.Tawney in criticising them bynameaspersonswhohadacceptedthePresident's hospitality and thenrefusedtopaythebills,was exceed-ingly bad taste,to say the least;andnomatterwhatexplanationMr,Tawney may now offer,the public,including the President,understood his remarks as a criticism of South- ern hospitality.

Some Plain Facts About the Cause and Prevention of the Disease. Abstract of An Address by Dr.John B,Powers,Medical Department Wake Forest College. 1.Definition.A communicable disease,usually chronic,character-ized by nodular growtbs (tuberoles)inthe lungs and other organs,This includes not only pu)monary tuber- culosis (consumption),but also tuberculosisofskin(iupus),white swelling cf the kneeand osder joints, and the so called scrofu'a of giands,etc, 2.Cause.Those who live under bad sanitary conditions,lack of fresh airand sunshine,those in bad health from otber diseases,and children who inherit from their parents a weakness for this disease (being rarely inberited)are most liavle tocontracttuberculosis.It is caused by a minute vegetabie organism which lives as a parasite in the bod- ies of men and of certain animals,and is contained in the sputum (spit) and discharges from tuberculosis sores of those afflicted with this dis-ease. 3.Frequency.One-third of allwhodievetween15and45dieof tuberculosis,Sixty-five deaths from tuberculosis in Raleigh alone every year.The cost to this country is enormous,running up into millions of dollars. 4.Medium of transmission from one person to another is usually she air in which,in the form of dust,thegermisbreathedintothelungs. 5.Prevention.Sunlightand fresh air kill the germ as do fire,boiling water and certain chemical sub- stances.Discharges from a con- sumptive should be received into a suitable vessel and treated with oneoftheseagents.When coughing ahandkerchiefshouldbeheldinfrontofface. 6.Treatment.Consumption is curabletn a large percentage of casesiftakenintime,and on its early recognition rests the hopeof itscure.

The city’s bureau of weights.and measures has begun a Jegal battleto stop the practice of charging con- sumers of food for millionsof pounds of.wood,tin,glass,paper,paste- board,cotton cloth and twine at thepriceofcostlyfood-produpts. Fran- cis M.McCoy,chief of the bureau; thinks that when a man goes to buy a pound of food,and pays for.apound,he is entitled to geta pound, and nota greater or less weight of wrapping. Mr.McCoy has started out to as- Certain whether the law caa compelthegivingofnetweightinsteadof gross weigh}.Thatis thesignificance of the action he has started againsttheSheffisidFarms-Silawson-Decker Company,one of the principal.mem- bers of the milk combine,which is charged in an affidavit made by oneof the city weighers with selling sbort- weight butter.When a grocer in- cludes the weight of the wooden box containing butter,according %o Act-ing Chief McCoy’s theory,he is giv- ing short weight. Sixty per cent.of the flour con- sumed here,he estimated,was soldputupinbags,and he figured that there was a four-pound shortage per barrel on this60 percent.Thetotal amount of flour consumed in NewYorkinayearbequotedat475,000,- 000 pounds,and he figured that the approximate shortage per year was 12,000,000 pounds. The amount of lard used a year In the city is quoted as 35,000,000pounds,aad,estimating that half of this,or 17 500,000 pounds,was soldfntiapails,he calculated that3,000,-000 pounds of ‘tin were sold every year at large prices,On the 8,000,- 000 pounds of raisins be reported a probable annual shortage of 12,000,-000 ounces.

Hon.Jobn G.Carlisie,for years member of Congress from Kentucky, Speaker of the House,Senator,Seo- retery ofthe Treasury in Cleveland's cabinet,one of the ablest among the public men of bis day,has been practicing law in New York since his retirement from public life. Among his clients are the holders of the North Carolina repudiated re- construction bonds.The holders of these bonds have never given up hope of collecting them;in fact as the years pass thei~efforts in this direction are more active and more determined,and as their counsel Mr.Carlisle is of course active in inaugurating and trying to carry out schemes to collect the bonds held by his clients;that is what they em- ployed him for,and their main reas- on for engaging his services was not because of his legal ability,great as that may be,but because he is a Southerner and had been prominent in public life as a Southern Demo- wrat.This,they think,will help their cause.Is will make the im- pression that the bonds must be bona fide or Mr.Carlisle,being a Southerner and a Democrat,would mot appear forthe bondholders.For these very reasons Mr,Carlisle bas been much criticised by North Car- olina newspapers.Being a South- ‘srner,it is contended that he knows the conditions in the South during the reconstruction era and he knows that millions of bonds were issued at the instance of carpetbaggers, through irresponsible natives,sold for a song and the proceeds misap- propriated or wasted;and being a Southerner and knowing these facts,1 is contended he should have re- pudiated with scorn the offer of em- ployment by these bondholders. To make the case more aggravated, Mr.Carlisie’s:name was signed to a statement,issued a few days ago,in which the public was practically warned against North Carolina State bonds now being offered for sale, and attention called to the fact that the State had in the past repudiated bond issues.Since theo Mr.Car- lisle’s funeral has been preached by more than one North Carolina news- paper. With the criticism of Mr.Carlisle Tux LANDMARK js in accord.It thinks his employment in this con- nection cannot be excused.But think ‘‘ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Gali- laeans”’?‘‘or those 18 on whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them, think ye that they were’sinhers above all men that dwelt in Jerusa iem?’’Hardly:In the interestoftruth and fairness Tue LANDMARK is com- pelled to say that Mr.Carlisle’scon- ductin this case,reprehensible as we think it,is not radically different ftom that of lawyers of standing and repv-| tation every where.We see them daily exerting every means-zand in some Gases none too scrupulous as to the means—to free criminals whose guilt is unquestioned and generally ad mitted.We see them as thé agents and employes of corporations using mot only their legal talents,butoften their influence as men and citizens, against their communities and against the public good.Their an- swer to criticism is that they are at- torneys;that it is legitimate and Proper for them to take these cases, and having taken them to'give their clients the bess service possible. And so ‘‘thereyeare.’’Thelayman doesn’s see it the lawyer's way and often be thinks the lawyor has pass- ed all groundsof propriety,especia!- ly if he happens to be opposed tothe lawyer’s side of the case;while the lawyer insists that it is manifestly impossible to permit the laymen to fix the rules governing his conduct.

Tothe Editor of The Landmark: Jennings,May 30—In theissusof THe LanpMARK for May 24th we no-tice,with interest,the communica- tion from Coddie Creek advocating the salary system for the countyofficersofIredel).The Democrats of this township—Uaion Grove—have been in favor of the plan for a long time,and passed a resolution at the primary two years ago instructing the delegates to the county conven- tion to vote for it if the opportunity came,but of course nosuch opportu nity presented itself then.Of course there can be no sincere and legitimate argument against theplan,but if the people wait for the réform to be brought about by the leaders of the party in the county, who are some of them holding office, we will be disappointed,forin every case a reasonable salary would be a reduction and no man wil]advocate the reduction of bis own salary.Like the writer from Coddie Creek, we,wo,fear that the Democratic party will lose if it does notinstitute this reform,for when the peoplewantathingdonetheywillfinda way todo it.Surely the leaders in the party will not try to curb this just demand of the taxpayers any longer and cause factions t spring up in the party,thuscontributing to ite defeat.In order for the Democratic party in Iredell county to continue in its strength,it mustconvince the voters that it is guarding their interests, and this is one way in which it canshowthemthatitisreallyserving them.Let's bear from other voters.Our united efforts can cause people to shink,Union Grove Iredell Citizens Courting Trouble By In-.terfering With Officers.

FRIDAY.-----Jone3,1910. een Taking note of the motes and bounds suggested by Postmaster Long for the territory from which the electorate should gather to name a postmaster in Statesville,the Char- lotee Chronicle says: It is no wonder Congressman Cowles is finding difficulty in turn- ing that sort of a man out of a job. He had better cal!it off and let Long alone. Copying Tur LanpMARxK’s picture of the distress tbat covers North Carolina as with a blanket on the evening of the 31st of May each and every year,when values fall in a night to the minimum and below the minimum,and the pall of gloom doesn't lift for 30 days,the Charlotte Chronicle says: Tux LANDMARK has notputanytoo wauch oolor in the picture it has drawn.Whoever heard ofa fellow, fm the merry month of June,brag- about his automobile being in three-thousand-dollar class,or of owning a Jersey cow that seventy- five dollars could not buy? Census statistics on Church mem- bership in the United States show that in 1906 all religious denomina- tions in the United States reporteda total of 32,936,345 communicants.Of this number the Protestants report 20,287,742 and the Roman Catholic Church 12,679,142.As compared with 1890 this is a gain of 90 communi- -cants for each 1,000 of population in the principal cities of the United States and a gain of 51 per 1,000 out- wide the cities.As might beexpect- ed,the female members outnumber themales by about 33 percent.The excess of female membership over male,however,is not so great in the country as it is in the cities.The surprising thing about these statis- ties is that the gain is larger in the olties than in the country.The be- lief generally prevails that there is more religion in the country than in ‘the cities. For the past year agentsof David- son College have been making stren- nous efforts to raise $225,000 for the endowment fund of that college.On eondition that this amount was raised by June 1st,the General Educational Board,or some concern with a simi- lar high-sounding name,alias Mr. John D.Rockefeller,agreed to give the college $75,000.They didn’t complete the work of raising the amount until Wednesday —coni- amencement day—when the last few thousands were made upby lifting a collection in the audience.There was great joy and thanksgiving when the subscription was completed. ‘The correspondent of the Charlotte Ooserver says ‘the audience burst forth with the doxology in praise and thanksgiving that the goal had beenachieved.’’Wetrustthey gave due meed of praise to Mr.Rockefel- Jer.In fact they could have appro- priately sung, “Praise John from whom oi]blessings flow.” The masses from whom John ex- tracted by force the money with which to buy sentiment and praise, need not be considered.It is the gentiemen like Jobn who can prac- tice the arts of highwaymen and at the same time escape the law who should be placed on a pedestal. The world knows thst Mr.Roose- velt can’t abide a dulitime.Forced for agime after his arrival in London to keep reasonably quiet on account of the death of King Edward,he has #ince made up for the silence.The other day the ex-President was giv- en the freedom of thecity of London, the ceremony taking place in Guild- hall,and in acknowledging the hon- or he proceeded to discuss British affairs and to point out some of the defects of British rule in Egypt, That the suggestions were gross- ly improper under the circum- stances does not trouble Mr. Roosevelt.That be isn’t qapable of giving advice toall mankind as to the proper conduct of affairs has mever occurred to him.There is one pleasing feature,however,about this incident which bas attracted so much attention.Mr.Roosevelt bas got even for the British delegates te the World’s Sunday School Con ‘wention in Washington,who were highly indignant the other day be- #euse negro Sunday schools were m0t allowed to march with white Sunday sobools in Washington. Buch a thing could not happen in Hagland,they said.These British- @re now know how {+feels to have @etsiders meddie into things they‘now nothing about. ” ‘‘How much then is a man better than a sheep?’’said the Master,in arguing the question of Sabbath ob- servance with the Pharisees.A man was regarded of more value than a sheep—and sheep were very valuable then—in the days of the Saviour but we sometimes wonder whether,in these enlighvened days of the 20th century,a man is regard- ed of as much value asadog in North Carolina.In Cumberland county & few weeks ago one smell dog,of no economic value whatever,bit 39 peo- ple.One of those died with rabiesa tew days ago and the other 38 are taking treatment in the bope of es- caping a similar awful fate.Theeco- nomic loss from that one worthless dog—the loss of the man who died, the cost of the treatment in time and money,even if all the others escape death—and the mental worry,can hardly beestimated.In addition to the possible loss of life and the eco- nomic loss constantly suffered from this source on account of worthless dogs,there is the loss of sheep killed every year and other economic losses inflicted by canines that cumber the earth;and yet any attempt to make laws designed to exterminate worth- less dogs meet the fiercest oppostion. Still we claim to be a civilized and progreasive people. Southern to InstallGas-Flectric Cars. Atlanta.Ga,,Diapatch. The Southern Railway Company announces tbat asa result of the success of experiments with gas- electric cars,two of which rave been ordered,itis probable that their use on the lines of the South- ern railway company will be further extended. A careful study bas been made of conditions on those parts of the line where suburban business is heav- {est and in the more congested com- mercial districts where passenger travel is thickest,with a demand for more frequent service.While no definite conclusion has been reached,it may be that the com- pany will put gas-electric cars into service in some of these localities either substituting them for the present local steam trains or as supplementary %0 the present local steam service soas to give more frequent service.One of the locali ties where this service may first be putin operation is in the active manufacturing territory of South Carolina,where tbe conditions would seem to suggest that such service would most conveniently accommodate the milling towns of Seneca.Anderson,Belton.William- ston,Pelzer,Piedmont,Greenville and Spartanburg. The gas-electric car is substanti- ally built with steel frames.It is propelled by electricity which is gen- erated inthe car itself by a gasoline generator.I can thus be operated by itself on any railway track witb- Out the installation of trolley wires or third rails. Supreme Court Refused to Reverse JimCrewLawDecision. Washington Dispatch.May 31. An attempt to have the Supreme Court of the United States pass on the authority of common carriers en-gaged in inver State commerce to make ‘Jim Crow’’regulations metwithfailuretodaywhenthecourt dismissed the so-called Chiles ap peal from its docket.The question arose in asuit which J.Alexander Chiles,a negro, broughs for damages against the Chesapeake:and Ohio Railway Com- pany.Chiles bought a through ticket from Washington,D.C..toLexington,Ky.At Ashland,Ky., all the passengers except those in a sleeper were requested to take other coaches.Over the objection of abrakeman,Chiles insisved on riding in a coach setaside for white passen- gers.He was compelled by thecon ductor to’go into the coach for color- ed persons.In the suit for damages the rail. road relied on thedefense that it bad acted in conformity with its regula- tions.The Supreme Court of Ken- tucky found these regulations in re. gard to the separate coaches for the two races to be reasonable.InasmuchasChileshadbeenfurnised accommodations equal to those pro-vided for white passengers,accord- ing 00 bbe trial jury,a verdict was rendered for she raliroad company.From this Chiles appealed.Toe Supreme Court affirmed the decisionoftheStatecour’.

President Taft’s Sympathy Was WiththeUmpire. Baltimore Sun, President Taft sat in the front row atthe Washington league park and looked over the ball field.Sev- eral thousand others were watchingthepitcher,batter and fielders. None of these interested him somuch.His gaze was fixed upona Innesome,friendless individual who was cursed by the pitcher every time be called a ‘‘ball’’and the wave of whose hand,as he snatchedabaserunnerfromthefield,was greeted by a wild chorus of denun- ciation from the bleachers anda roar from the grandstand.What- ever this executive of the ball field did,he was denounced by one side or the other.Hecouldn’t straddle any question,he hadn’t any assist ant attorney general to work oust the case,he hadn’t any private secre- tary to blame jt on.Al!these would not have saved him.He couldn’t quit,he couldn't rest,he couldn’t resign.There could be no peaceforhimuntilthegamewasover. As the President gazsd at this master of the field,who became more unpopular every move he made,a tear of sympathy came into bis eye. He knew just how it was,‘Or course the players are all right,’’he mused,‘‘bus my heart goes out to the umpire.’’ If you are not satisfied after using according to directions two-thirds of a bottle of Chamberlain'sStomachandLiverTablets,you can have your back.The tablets cleanse and invigorate the stomach,Improve tne digestion,regulate thebowels.Givethém atrial and get well.Sold bytheStatesvilleDrugCo. ming for the past six years and js js SomeoftheArguments For SubsidizedShipsPunctured. Strenuous efforts are being made to popularize the ship subsidy in theSouth,the plea being made that iswouldgreatiybenefitS.uthern man- ufacturers and consequently thewholeSouthernpevpie—the same plea,by the way,thar bas alwaysbeenmadeforaprotectivetariff. Tue LANDMARK has no unreasonabieprejudicesegainsttheword‘‘sub- sidy’’and it is not hide-bound in ite opposition to the ship subsidy.Isbastriedtoviewtbesomewhatim- patient arguments of its advocates in the moss favorable light,but up to this good hour it bas nos been able to entirely convert itself to sheir view.On the other hand, while giving she advocates of the subsidy full credisfor sincerity,takealook.at these remarks on she other side from the New York Journal ofCommerce; “The National Association of Manufacturers bas a committee on merchant marine which submitted some peculiar notions in a repor?to tbe convention on Tuesday.It said that we need ships io carry tbemailsandpassengers,to faciliate Intercourse aod understanding with the peopie of other nations,’inas. much as ‘friendly social intercourse must of necessity precede and lay the foundation for commercial inter- course.’Admitting she latter rather paradoxical statement,does it make apy particular difference who owns the ships or what colors float over them in order that mails and passen-gers may be carried and intercourseandunderstandingbefacilitated?

Business men and not nations are ordinarily engaged in the details of foreign trade,and they are in it for gain and not for prideor patriotism,or for their health.“An American.merchant marine is a desirable thing tohave for var ious reasons,if it can be obtained in a reasonable way;but this com- mittee was in favor of getting it by subsidies or discriminating duties, or any kind ofa way,for it is nec- essary for ‘extending American for- eign trade,’and especially for mar-keting American -manufactures abroad.Isis only necessary for us to coffer manufactured goods in for- eign markets of as good quality and on a8 favorable terms as otbers whoarecompetinginthesamemarkets, to find shipping enough to carry them the freight.Manufacturers cennot expect to compete with for- eighers ‘in foreign markets so long as they confess<that they cannotcompetewithforeignersinthehome market,but must getthe govern- ment to protect them against the competition;anda subsidized mer- chant marine would not help them.

Cats Do Not Suck the Breathof Babies— How the Idea Originated. New York World. Several physicians have investi- gated the ancient story that cats suck the breath of babies,and Dr.J. Rice Gibbs deciares that the theory is ridiculous.Cats occasionally kill children,be deciares,but they do ie in a different fashion. “Ty hag been stated that a cat’s nostrils are so formed as to make & perfect juncture with the nose of a paby,’”’said Dr.Gibbs,‘‘and that.a little pressure would push them up- ward and make them a perfect fit. Toen the cat’s chin would rest over and below the baby’s mouth,pre venting it from opening to relieve tbe strangulation while the cat suck- ed its breath.Thatis all rot.The manner in which Jittie children are killed by cats is this:A cat looking for a warm place to curl upand sieep lies down upon the chest of a little child,and,being quite beavy—many cats are as heavy as little babies simply crushes thé breath out of the child’s lungs,and strangulation takes place,but not through sucking of the child’s breath. ‘*The idea that only black cats ki! little,babies is equally ridiculous. >!Is is simply because black cats are considered unlucky.In former times the black cat was considered the very genius of witchcraft.In those days when a baby died the blame was fixed upon some bag who, the judges said,had sent a black cat to suck the baby’s breath.And often hag and cat suffered death at the stake, ““Evilomen is still the cry in many parts of the world whenever a black cat approaches a cradle.Many per sons are so superstitious that the ap pearance of a black cat in a sickroom is considered equivalent to an an- pouncement of approaching.deatb. What could be more absurd? ‘‘Mothers need not be afraid ofcats,black,white or green,suckiog >|sheir babigs’breath and murdering them,Isis time that this popu'ar »%|fallacy should be exploded.’”’ A Victim of Rabies—Thirty-Nine Others Bitten By Same Dog. 5 |Fayetteville Dispatch,May 30.

June 7,1910, THE STATE’S BOND ISSUE. The Legislature of 1909 authorized the State to issue $3,427,000 of 4 per cent.bonds to take up bonds of the Beate falling due July 1st,1910,the bonds which are soon due having been issued 30 yearsago.Thebonds have been prepared and twice offer- ed for sale,but so far only $1,216,000 have found takers,most of these be- ing sold to parties in theState.An- other sale has been advertised for the 10th and meantime the Counoil of State bascalleda meetingof bankers im Raleigh for tomorrow,the 8th,to devise ways and means,if possible, ‘to sell the remainder of the bonds. As a matter of precaution,in the event the sale on the 10th is nofsuc- eeesful,the Governor has issued & eall for an extra session of the Leg- islature,to meet on the 14h,to take care of the situation.If the bonds should be disposed of by the sale on the 10th,the call for the extra sesion will be revoked. A North Caroline 4 per cent.bond is a good investment and the only reason that can be assigned for the failure of the bonds to find ready sale ‘ts the stringency of the money mar- ket,Bonds everywhere are dull aale at the present time,and thereis practically no demand for4percen), bonds,the few people who are buy- ing bonds finding investments ata higher rate of interest.When-the Legislature authorized the bond is: sue,bonds were ready sale at 4 per cent..and the present conditions were not anticipated;and while the borrowed money,the Council of Btate bas no authority to negotiate a loan,hence the present emergency.If the Legislature made any mistake 30 was in ‘nov giving the Counoil of Statesome authority to act in caseof @mergency,but as already stated, the emergency was not anticipated, If the Legislature moots it will prob. ably authorize the State to borrow“money until the bond market im-proves and the bonds can be floated.‘BEven if it is thought advisable to in-e@rease the interest rate,there wouldnotbetimetopreparethebondsforsalebyJuly1st.1%is greatly tobehopedthattheextrasessioncanbeavoided.

Follow this advice. _Quaker Oats is the best of all foods; it is also the cheapest.When such men as Prof.Fisher of Yale University and Sir James Crichton Browne, LL.D.-F.R.S.of London spend thebestpartsoftheirlivesinstudying the great question of the nourishingandstrengtheningqualitiesofdifferent foods,it is certain that their advice isabsolutelysafetofollow. Professor Fisher found in his ex-periments for testing the strength and endurance of athletes that the meat eaters were exhausted long before themenwhowerefedon-such food as The powers of endur-ance of the non-meat eaters were about eight times those of the meateaters. Sir James Crichton Browne says—eat more oatmeal,eat plenty of it andeatitfrequently.59 Packed in regular size packages,and hermeticallysealedtinsforhotclimates., BAD DREAMS. Nightmare,Restlessness and Night- Sweats All Caused By Indigestion. Half of the nervousness in the worid,all of the disturbing dreams aod nightmares can be ended in a \few weeks by a simple,inexpensive |treatment. Upset stomach is thecauseof rerv owusness and baddreams.Your food is lying io your stomach undigested and fermenting;itisforming pojson ous gases which irritate the pheu mogastric nerve that leads direct from the brain,and ends in a net- work-of tiny branches running through the stomach. It is a’so theirritation of this great pheaumogastric nerve that causes headaches.Many times people have severe headaches and kno v whey are caused by the stomach,but do not know in what manner. If you are nervors,havedreamsor nightmare,and do nutsleep sound at night,get a 50-cente box cf Mi-o na stomach tablets and take ove or twoafterorwitbmeals.They relievedis |tressed stomach in 5 minutes.Sold by druggists every where and by the Statesviiie Drug Co.,who guaran tees them to cureiadigestioa or mon ey back. HOW TO CURE RHRUMATISM The cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the blood.To cure this terrible dis:ase this acid must be expelled and the systemso regulated | that no more acid will be formed in excessive quantities,Rheumatiam is an interna)disease and requires an internal remedy.Rubbing with Oils and Liniments will not cure,affords only tem- porary relief at best,causes you to delay the proper treatment,and allows the malady to get a firmer hold on you.Liniments may ease the pain, but they will no more cure Rheumatiam than paint will change the fibre of rotten wood.Science has at last discovered a perfect andcompletecure.which is called ‘‘Rheumacide.”Tested in hundreds of cases,it has effected the most marvelous cures,Rheumacide ‘gets at thejointsfromtheinside,"’sweepa the poisons out of the system,tones up the stomach,reguiates the liver and kidneys and makes you well all over.Rheumacide “strikes the root of the disease and removes its cause.’”This splendid remedy is soldbydruggistsanddealersgenerallyat50c.and $1 abottle.In Tablet form at 25c.and 50c,a package.Booklet free,Write to BOBBITT CHEMICALCOMPANY,Baltimore,Md.Tablets by mail,25c.

But while all this was going on (Friday),Mr.Duke and Miss Ros- chelle went to Camden,N.J.,Satur- day and were married,returning to Washington Saturday evening. From there they were expected to return to Durham,where Mr.Duke, who is a wealthy man,has a hand- some home. Mr.Duke is 62 and his bride’sage is variously stated at from 22 to 28.

Bn€OMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS thatof Editor Harris,of the Charlotte country a good tufn,while she rail consideration.Senator Overman suc Senate restaurant,to put through his amendment relating to watertransportation.”This amendment provides that when a lesser rate foralongerthanforashorterhau!is allowed by the inter-State commerce commission on account of water com- petition the rate thus allowed shallnotbelessthanacompetitivewater rate plus 10 per cent.of the waterrate.—Asheville Gazette-News,4th. The fact is the North CarolinaSen- ators not only did good work in this instance,but they are always active and wideawakein behalf of their con- stituents and what they believetobe the best interests of the country. Men of ability,zealous for the inter- ests of their State and the country, they are untiring in their labors and they accomplish results.They are rapidly becoming men of influence and leaders in the Senate,are making national reputations and reflecting credit on themselves and their State. Tue LANDMARK is saying this not as a political boost,but because it be- lieves the Senators deserve to have it said of them.‘. Formerly the organizition of a business men’s club or similar or- ganization was for the exploitation and development of the community. But what’s in a name,anyway?A popular way of evading the prohibi- tion law is to organize a club where liquor can be stored and where the members meet to drink.The club manager orders the booze for the membérs and in fashionable clubs.they doubtless have an ex- perienced barkeeper to mix the drinks.In towns where law en- forcement is jax there are many of these clubs under all sorts of names. Concord has,or,did have,a half dozan or 80,all regularly chartered. In Charlotte last week a concern known as ‘'The Business Men’s Club’’was haled to court for violat- ing the prohibition law and one member testified that the club had 53 members and as far as he could gather ‘‘was formed for drinking purposes.’’The witness said he joined so he ‘‘could get liquor and beer there to drink,’’and later said the club was formed ‘‘for moral and drinking purposes,”which is an unusual combination.Where the *‘moral purposes”.come in does not appeat.Toe.club in jés corporate capacity was found guilty and fined $400,while the members escaped punishment as individuals,which it may be said in passing,is a very poor way of enforcing the law.If the club in its corporate capacity has visible assets out of which thefineandcossscanbemadetheywillbepaid;otherwise not..The court was probably satisfied,bowever,with breaking up the club.Ifthetowiswherethesesaloonsexist under the name of a club really wish 0 abolish them they can do so byimposingrestrictionscoupledwithabighlicensetax,by which meansStatesvilleproventedtheirestablish ment.Where there’s a will there’saway.P.S.When the sheriff cal!-ed to collect the judgment againsttheclubmentionedhefoundvisibleassetsofthevalueof$3.50, ** One of the best papers read at themeetingoftheStatéPressAssocia-tion at Wrightsville last week was Chronicle,on ‘‘Harmony in theSanc-tum.’’Mr.Harris pointed out—what every real editor should keepinmind—thas it is the mission ol thenewspapertoworkforthedevelop-ment and betterment of its commu-nity,to enlighten and entertain itereaders.It should of course havePrinciplesandstandforthem,butconstantwranglingsandbickeringswithesteemedcontemporaries,aboutwhichthepubliccaresnothing,is awasteoftimeandeffort,issomethingtobeshunnedandhasnoplaceinrealnewspaperwork.These weretheideasconveyed,and the edigor tn-corporated some fine humor in.hisPaperinthefollowing: One of the rocks on which thePressissometimesshatteredintodis-cord is the tariff,A Democraticeditorwillpaytencentsfora'strawbatandthengotohisofficeandwrite8columneditorialtoProvethatifthetari?on straw were removed he "Al this distanceonegots the im- on ression that the North Oarolina selves,doing,at the same time,the road bill which passed yesterdaywithpracticalunanimity,was under ceeded in having adopted his provis- fon regulating the issuanceof injunc-tions,an important legal considera- tion,while Senator Simmons,appar- ently by close application to duty, and going sbort on rations,brought about the adoption of his amendmentwithrespecttowaterrates.A ocor- respondent of a New York news- paper says this is one of the impor-tant amendments,and that the North Carolina Senators took ad ventage of the lunch hour,when the Republican Senators who were in charge of the bill were regaling themselves in the ing.His Republican conwillcomebackatthisw ment that if the tariff on ° of the United States.-I myself am a suffererstandingfromthetariff {nj uity.It was in the campaign of }thasRev.TomDixon,conceivingthe ideathatSenatorVancewasnotabletohandlethetariffquestion,set in tohelphimexplain{ft to the people.In a speech in Charlotte,Rey,Mr.Dixon got to an explanation of shetariffonhardware,and felt in hispocketforaknifetoholdupasanexampleandIsavedthesituationbyhandinghimmytariff-paid knife.From that day to this I have neverseenthatknife,but I have made nohow]abous {, It should be said that at the timeofthistariffdiscussionRev.TomDixonwasnotareverendbutalaw-yer and a politician,and this mayexplaintheknifeincident,It wasafterwardthathebecameapreacher and then progressed into literature, writing plays and managing shows.

OS ee eSeB MLS yee he eae Deathof Terry at Wincton—ACapt.Terry The Winston Sentinel of Friday bas thefollowing accountof thedeath of Capt.J.D.Terry,briefly mention- ed in the lastissueof Tox LANDMARK: “Capt.Terry was born near Mil- ton,but had been a resident of this city for about 30 years.He wasa splendid citizen.a consistent mem- ber of the First Presbyterian church and a man who was held in thebigh- est esteem.He was also an hono member of Damon LodgeK.of P.and the Eagles.The funeral services will _|be conducted from the Presbyterian church at 5 o'clock this afternoon with the honors of the Eagles,The {interment will be in Salem cemetery. The service will be attended by the Forsyth Riflemen in a body. Captain Terry is survived by a wife,two children,a daughter aged eight years and a son aged 4;&ais- ter,Mrs.Carter Wells,ofSouthside, a widowed mother,Mrs.Terry,who lives with Mrs.Wells;and one brother,William Terry,who lives in New York City. Capt.Terry enlisted in the For- syth Riflemen in April,1888,and served as private,corporal,sergeant and first lieutenant until the break- ing out’of the Spanish-American war in 1898,when his company enlisted in the First N.C.Volunteers as Com- pany C,on April 276b,1898. He was honorably discharged oa September 24th,1898,on account of disability.After Company C was mustered out of the service in 1899 it immediately organized as Company C,First Regiment N.C.N.G.,and Capt.Terry was made first sergeant, which position he had beld before. He was promoted to secogd lieuten- ant,first lieutenant and captain io succession,serving from 1902t0 1907 in the last capacity,when on ac- count of bis health he resigned and was placed on the retired list of the North Carolina National Guard with the rank of major.”’Capt.Terry,as has been stated, was a son-in-law of Mr.John A. Walker,of Statesville.He married Miss Nettie Walker 12 years ago. Train Lifted Man From Buggy and Seat- ed Him on Pilot,Cushion Under Him. Several days ago a Mr.Cline,of Catawba county,was driving across the railroad track near Maiden, Catawba county,when his buggy was struck by a train on tbe Caro- lina and Northwestern road.The incident was mentioned in the news- papers at the time,but the details, which were unusual,were not given. Mr.C.L.Tomlin,of Statesville, who was On the train,told the Hick- ory Mercury about {t,When the train struck the buggy the vehiclewasdemolishedandagashcutin the mule’s flank.The unusual part of the incident was the result to Mr. Cline.He was lifted up on the cow- catcher,still sitting on the cushion of the buggy,and carried sev- eral yards,then dropped ciear ofthetrack.His collar bone was broken,scalp cut in several places and his body bruised.Almost mirac-ulously there were no really dan- gerous injuries,unless some inter- pal troublesbou!d develop.The rai!- road men secured a cot and carried him to his home,more than a mile from where the accident occurred.

Are Due in This Locality This Year—Not Dan- gerous. The State Department of Agricul- ture at Raleigh calls attention to the fact that the ‘17-year locust’is due to appear this year in the region from Raleigh,in Wake county,to the northern limit of the State and fn the counties of Cabarrus.Davie, Irede!!,Rowan,Surry and Yadkin. This prediction is based on publica- tions of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture at Washington, where past outbreaks have been re- corded.Tbe insect is noisy and conspic- vous.The slitting of twigs by the females does some harm to orchards, but not as much as at first appears. The ‘‘singing’’is done entirely by the males,the females being unable #©produce sound.The insects ap- pear in some places at irregular In- tervals,owing to the fact that there are several broods,and that some of them come every 13 years.and others 17 years.The crop of this year is of the 17-year race.It was present in 1893,and its progeny is predicted to come in 1927. It will be interesting to watch the clumsy grub-like insects come out of the ground,craw!upon.trees, fences,etc.,and shed the skin,com ing forth with wings.They are per- fectiy harmless to persons and can be handled freely. They will not appear everywhere {n all the territory named,but only in definite localities.They usually appear from about May 20%h to June 20th.The Department of Agricul- ture wishes to get information from every locality where they appear this year.Send reports to Mr.F Sherman,Eatomologist,Department of Agriculture,Raleigh,N.C. These locusts.are peculiar and there is no certainty in the predic- tions of the scientific men as to their appearance—although the above pre- diction.may be correct,In May, 1831,the locusts,supposed to be of the 17:year-variety,of appearance and manners similar to those des- cribed above,were in Stateville. At the time of which this writer has knowledge they only extended as far south as Kestler’s bridge—two miles.Whegher they ever went be- low tbat we don’t know,nor do we know \how far east they went.To the west they extended to the Blue Ridge,possibly beyond.Now the point Tue LANDMARK makes is that if these ’81 locusts were of the 17- year-variety they were due again in 1898—when they didn'’tappear—and again in 1915 instead of 1910.If they were 13-year lécusts they were due in 1894 and in 1907.The peri ods of visitation don’t work out. Mr.Parr’s Reward For Unearthing Su- gar Trust Frauds. After detailed consideration of the law covering theclaim made by Rich- atd Farr for a share in the collec- tions made by the government from the American Sugar Refining Com- pany,it has been held by the De- partment of Justice that such collec tion can be made.How much Mr. Parr will be allowed is to be deter- mined. Collections which hava adn made from the sugar trust on account of frauds unearthed by Parr amount to between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, Mr.Parr,who was in the officeof the surveyor of the portat New York, asks one-fourth of the amouht col- lected by the government.The law invoked is that of June 22,1874, which provides tha one-half thecol- jection shall go to the government, one quarter to bbe seizing officer and one-quarter to the informant.The point has been raised in the Treasury Department that *his law applies to smuggling cases alone. An Automatic’Plow. An automatic plow is said to have been invented recently by a citizen of Winston-Salem,Mr.C.R.Trexler. This plow is similartoother traction plows except that it plows automati- cally and-does not require a man to cperate it.It consists of a traction engine operated with crude oil anda plow.The real invention consists in the ingeniously arranged wheels which causes the plow torunaround ‘im each furrow automatically.The first furrow has to be plowed with a man steering the machine and then he may turn it loose and it will do the work,guiding itself and keeping the machinery olled automatically. If the iavention proves practicable {¢means much for farming opera- tions,especially on large farms. The New Customs Court Doing Business.

The Greensboro News,which does Tas LANDMABK the honor tosay that this paper usually staads ‘‘on high ground”’(for which we thank our contemporary),complains that while Tax LANDMARK condemns Republi- can newspapers for trying to make political capital out of the State's re- cent difficulty in selling its bonds, “Tue LANDMARK,’’says the News, “Immediately turns around and itself does the very thing it condemns in others,by claiming that the present Republican national administration and past Republican State adminis- trations are responsible.’’ Condemning the attempt to make political capital out of this incident, Tue LANDMARK was fair enough to express the opinion thatifconditions were reversed some—note thequali- fication —Democratic newspapers would be guilty of the same offence. Then by way of rebuke to the Re- publicans who have referred to the bond incident as ‘‘Democratic mis- management,’’etc.,THe LANDMARK called attention to the fact that they were inviting criticism of their own record,in this statement: It is certainly unbecoming in Re- publican newspapers to engage in that kind of talk now,seeing that thefinancialstringencywhichhampers the sale of the bonds is occurringunderanationalRepublicanadmin- istration,a party which claims that it has made the country prosperous. Morever,if the State’s oredit is make ita point to attend the prima- ries and see to it that definite in- structions are given for Judge Long. He deserves a renomination on gen- principles,and when it comes to the point that those who cannot control threaten a judge with defeat if he does not yield to their wishes,itis time for the manhood of the district to rise up and assertitself.And we repeat that nothing should be taken for granted,nor should the plaa be accepted that ‘‘everything is all right.’’If it be the will of the peo- that Judge Long should be renomi- nated,they should express them- selves and see that their wishes are carried out. The Hickory Mercury,a Republi- can paper,pays Judge Long this de- served compliment:‘ Among the judges whose terms ex- pire this year are Judges Long,of Iredell,and Council,of Catawba.Judge Long is a candidate for re- election.If there is any one man among many judges who deserveswellofthevoters,it is Judge Long. Neither fear nor favor have been able to swerve him from the path of duty. He has held the idea,doubtless old-fashioned and out-of-date,that a judge’s first duty is toseethatevery man has equal justice according to the law of the land,regardless ofwhatanybody’sopinionis.Heeven has expressed the amazing opinion }How is This?—An Some Greenshbere Y:WwW.Charged"WithShopliftingGreensboroDispatch,10th,to Raleigh Times.

A bulletin issued by the census bureau shows that notwithstanding the cotton crop of the United States in 1909 was the smallest since 1903, the value was 19.2 per cent.greater than that of 1908,and measured by ite yarn-producing qualities and by the financial resu!ts to the growers, it was the most valuable ever pro- ‘iuced.The estimated value of the 1909 crop is given as $812,089,833 as compared with $681,230,956 for 1908. The figures,as finally compiled for 1909 show 10,386,209 running bales, or 24.1 per cent.tess than the total of 1908.The States sustaining the greatest loss in production in 1909, as compared with 1908,according to she bulletin,are:Louisiana 45.6 per | cent.,Mississippi 34 3,Texas 83:4, Arkansas 30.6,Tennessee 27.8,Ala-bama 23,6 and Oklabomal9.9,Dur- ing she last faw years Lou/siana-sus- tained great loss,reporting,in 1908, 70.1 per cent.of the quantity re. turned.in 1907,while its production in 1909 was only about one.quarter that of 1906.This statement by the census bureau gives force to a fact that should need no argument to stress its advantage—i.e..that a small cotton crop is more valuabie than a large one. Recently Tur LANDMARK copied a Paragraph from the Greensboro Record anent the political situation in this congressional district,in which it was stated,among other things,that it was reported that oneofthecandidatesfortheDemocratic nomination had voted for Congress-man Cowles.Tur LanpMARK replied that it was being reported aboutthatoneofthecandidatesvotedforBlackburn,that this paper was ‘“‘notdisposedtobelievethereport,butitetruthorfalsitywillbeknownbeforetheconventionisheld.” Since then several papers outsidethedistrictbavereferredtothere-port and asked which candidate wasallegedtohavevotedforBlackburn. Tux LANDMARK was not disposed tocallnames,preferring that the gen position to Judge Long.Those who favor a pure judiciary and the protectionofthepublicagainstthelaw- less element will know how to vote. The river and harbor bill,which has passed bovh branches of Con- gress,carries $1,303,051 for North Carolina,by far the largest amount ever appropriated for the State. When the bill passed the House it carried only $397,500 for North Car- olin’,but Senator Simmons,by vir- tue of his membership on the Senate commerce committee,was able to increase this amountto$1,303,051.

On the 260b day of last December there appeared a communication intheCharlotteObserverwrittenby Mr.Wm.©.Lyon,a member of the staff of that paper,in whioh heocalledattentiontoa‘political game’’that was brewing ‘in Lexington.Thegamewas,as stated by Mr.Lyon. that certain persons interested insecuringclemencyfor&prominent man would “‘use political influencetodefeatJudgeLongforthenoni- nation in the convention nextepring it at the expiration of the reprieve that gentleman does not signa a re quest to the Governor fora pardon.”’We have nevor seen the above state ment explained or denied. No reason has ever been assignedfordenyingJudgeLongtheusual endorsement at the end of bie first term.To be sure,there areal ways good men who aspire to the exalted place occupied by Judge Long,and nobody denies the right of any citi- zen,who is qualified,to ask for the honor;but a sense of fairness among the people,unless foreshadowed bysomesuchmotiveaswasforeshad-owed in Mr.Lyon’s prophecy,would freely give to a faithful public ser- vant the reward of endorsement for a second term.A “political game’’does notsound well and is not relisbed by the peo- ple.The voters of she tenth district ought to investigate the situation fully before they comm!themselvesfororagainstanycandidate.We are making no charge against any man or set of men;but we remember very well the remarkable article by Mr.Lyon and wish merely to retreshthememoriesofourreaderson that point. This vaper would rejoice to see Judge Long renominated.I be- lieves that his record entities him to the approval of his fellow-citizans of the district,and it furthermore be- lieves that his defeat would be not only a sharp rebuke to a man who bas been faithful in discharging the duties of his office,but a reflection upon the intelligence and the patriotismofthevotersofthetenthdistrict.

EE How the Rooster Fad Originated. “Imagine it!Just a common, barnyard rooster and yet he is the new fashion fad of the hour,’’says Grace Margaret Gould in Woman’s Home Companion for June.‘‘Per- haps in days gone by,before Edmund Rostand’s play,‘Chantecler,’elec- trified Paris,there were roosters scattered here and there in prosper- ous looking barnyards who thought themselves quite the finest things ever in their own feathered world. Vain and domineering,they were, but never,oh,never,in their wild- est dreams of the bappy future did they picture themselves strutting into the fashion world of both Paris and New York. ‘And yet that is just what has happened.Since Rosvand chose the fowls of the barnyard for the char- acters in his play,the fair Paris- {enne has been wearing the chante- cler hat in varied forms.She has gazed at you in ber most bewitching way through the filmly meshes of her veil with its startling rooster design.Her newest silk jacket sug’ gests a rooster’s tail in shape,ber parasol has a rooster’s head for ite handle and everywhere this barn- yard king seems to reign supreme in the realm of fashion.“OCurious and startling,isn’s is? And yet our American girls are doing likewise.The chantecler fad is upon us,but it is safe to say it is only a passing fancy.”’ “Tt cured me,”or ‘It saved the lifeof my child,”are the expressions hear every day aboutberlain's Colic,Cholera and Diarrhws Rem-edy.Thisis true the world over where this valua-ble remedy has been introduced.No other medi-Cine in use for diarrhonaor bowel complaints hasreceivedsuchreneralapproval.The secret of the suecess of ‘8 Colic,Cholera and Diar-rhosa Remedyisthatitcures.Soldby the States-ville DragCo, TRIBUTE TOAGREATEDITOR. HisBrethrenof the PressendOthers Hener OneWhose PenicSilent. Wrighterilia Beach Special,6th.to Chariots OF The sweetest tribute the Fourth Essate ever paid an absent brother was laid at the feet of Josenh Pear- son Caldwell,editor of the Observer and dean of the North Carolina press, tonight?at the annnal banquet of the association.A vacant chair revers- ed to the festive board at the right hand of the toastmaster poihted mutely to agorgeous garland of flow- ers,featooned with spotless white ribbon that marked his vacat place gtthetable,An invisation card upon which was written the one word, “Regrets,”lay beside the ink-well and idle pen.A bush fell upon the assembly as Charles N.Evans,bank- er and warm personal friend of the absent editor,who presidedastoast- master,arose,and,pointingto theal- lent pen,eloquently introduced Ire- dell Meares,Esq.,of the Wilmington bar,to expressto the assemblage the profound sorrow of these good men and true at the absence of the man they ever delighted to honor., Mr.Meares’tribute was eloquent. No words can do justicetohis appre- ciation of the standard which hesaid Mr.Caldwell had set for North Caro lina.Succeeding speakers,notably Major E.J.Hale,of Fayetteville, and James H.Caine,of the Asheville Citizen,added garlands to the wreath of tributes that was garnered to- night. In presenting his paper on the opening day of the meeting of the as- sociation,Mr,Archibald Johnson, editor of Charity and Children,tre historian,said:‘The tallest man among us bas re- tired from the field.His flashing sword is too heavy for any other hand.He performed a service in North Carolina journalism,the value of which we did not know until we losthim.The pagesof the Charlotte Observer,still bright and strong, have lost the radiant glow of osher years.Joseph Pearson Cald well was the greatest editor that our Statehas produced.He attended the Press Association at Hendersonville,and we hoped that he would again buckle on the armor,but Providence wills is otherwise.He was stricken short ly after that delightful meeting and they tell us there is no hope thatev- er agsian we shall hear his clarion call.This is the mostimportantand the saddesteventthat has transpired within the year.’’ President Refused to See a Congressman Who Criticised Him. Washington Dispatch,9th. President Tafe today declined to receive Representative Francis Byr- ton Harrison,Democrat,of N York,who called at the White House in company with two other Repre- sentatives to introduce a number of Jewish rabbis who took up with the President the question of the expu!- sion of Jews from Russia. Tne President received the dele gation and chatted with its various members for 15 minutes or more. Representative Goldfogle,of New York,acted as spokesman for the party and so adroitly had the situa- sion been handled by Secretary Nor- ton that no one of the callers knew anything of the incidentuntil Repre- sentative Harrison returned to the capitol and there made a statement to the effect that he had been rebuff- ed by the President. Mr.Taft based his refusal to see Mr.Harrison on statements attrib- uted by newspapers to the Repre- sentative in connection with his res- olution in the House cabling on At- torney General Wickersham for fall information as to the connection of his office with the Ballinger-Pinchot episode.Mr.Harrison was quoted, May 13,as having said of the back- dating of the Wickersham summary: ‘This confession of the Attorney General amounts to aconclusion that the President and the Attorney Gen- eral had agreed to furnish to Con- gress misleading information,tosup- ply an official document as of one date which was really many weeks later.”’:Mr.Norton,the President’s seo- retary,says that when he advised the President of the presence of the delegation Mr.Taft announced that be would be glad to receive every member of the delegation but Mr. Harrison.He declaredthatbecause of the newspaper statements made by Mr.Harrison he did not desire to speak with him. Taking Proper Precaution. A dentist was visited by a native of the rural district to be treated for an ulcerated tooth.‘*That’s a bad tooth,’’said the man of the forceps,‘‘and I should advise you to spare yourself pain by taking gas.Itwill be only.50 cents more.” And the dentist showed his ma- chine to the doubtful visitor,ex- plaining its workings—how he would fall as'eep for a minute or two,and then awake with the tooth and the pain gone.At last the patient con- sented and took out his wallet. ‘‘Never mind paying now,’’said the dentist patronizingly. ‘T wasn’s thinking of paying,’’ responded the countryman,‘but I thought if I was going v0 sleep I'd like 0 count my money first.’ $100 Reward,$100.The readers of this paper will be pleased tolearnthatthereisatleastonedreadeddiseasethatsciencehasbeenabletocurein_all itsstages,and that is Catarrh.Hall's Oatarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known tothemedicalfraternity.Catarrh being a con- atitutional disease,requires a constitutionaltreatment,Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken inter- nally,acting directly upon the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system,thereby destroy- {ng the foundatton of the disease,and giving the patient strength by building up the consti-tution and assisting nature in doing its work.The proprietoes have so much faith in {ts cura-tive powera-that they offer One Hundred Dol-lars for any Case that it fails to cure.Send forlistoftestimonials.

GLORY TO MR.PINCHOT! Mr.Gifford Pinchot,recently de- posed as chief government forester by President Taft and more recently returned from abroad,where he held confidential communion with his friend,Mr.Roosevelt,was the _thief speaker ata banquet given by the Roosevelt club at St.Paul, Minn.,Saturday evening.The ban- quet was given in honor of Mr. Pinchot and Mr.Jas.R.Garfield, the latter —a son of the late Preai- dent Garfield —being Secretary _of the Interior under Mr.Roose-velt’s administration and an associate of Mr.Pinchot in forestry work. Bot returning to the banguet.As the chief speaker on that occasion Mr.Pinchot’s utterances attracted the attention of the country,and there is much speculation as to his remarks.Thefollowingparagraphs give an idea of what the former chief forester talked about,and they show that be was on bis mettle:“The people of the United States demand a new dea!and asquaredeal. They have grasped the fact that thefalinterestsarenowincontrol publicaffairs,They havedecided once more 0 take contro!of their own business.For the last tenyearsthedeterminationtodosohas been swelling like a river.They insist that the special interests shal!go out of politics or outoft business— one or the other.And the choicewillbewiththeintereststhemselves. If wisely they accept the inevitable, the adjustment will not be hard.I+will do their business no manner of haro to makeit conform tothe gener- al welfare,_But one way or the oth-er,conform it must.‘The overshadowing question be- fore the American people today isthis:Shall the nation govern itself or shall the interests run this coun-try?Theonegreat political demand, underlying all others,giving mean- ing to ali others,is this:The spe- ola)interests must get ousof politics..The old-style leaders,seeking to switch public attention away from thisoneabsorbingandoverwhelming igaue,are pitifully ridiculous andoutofdate.To try to divert the march of an aroused public oon- sciencefrom this righteous,inevitableconflictbymeansofobsoletepolitical catchwords,is like trying to dam the Mississippi with dead leaves.”’ While there may be speculationas to Mr.Pinchot’s purpose in making these remarks just at this time, there can be no doubt as to his ‘meaning,and hig utterances every good citizen can applaud.Disguise ‘it as we may;talk about the develop- ment of the country;the absolute mecessity for strong and wealthy corporations to carry on the work; the necessary work of public service corporations,and so on to the end. But the great and overwhelming _truth,patent to all who will see,is that the fight is between the people and the special interests,and that fightis tothe finish.The issue may be delayed,bus the overshadowing is- gue,as Mr.Pinchot well gays,is, **Shall the nation govarn itself or shall the interests run thiscountry?”’ The {nterests—the combinations of @reat wealth —practically run the country:today.They penetrate every avenue of life;theiragents are everywhere,seeking,always seek- fug,special favors and a stronger foothold.The aroused public con- solence wi!)sooner or later bring the Conflict;and unless the interests turn aside and devote themselves to their legitimate business:unless they restrain their insatiable greed to control everything and take all, they wil)invite destruction, Copying from the Lexington Dis- patch the story of the man who stole @ bale of cotton and was never sus- pected,but who revealed the theft after he became ‘“‘sanctified,’’the Elkin Times is moved to observe: Religion,the real article,willmakeamanhonest,even if he isathief.It will make a man pay hisdebts,but best of all it will makehimquitcontractingdebtsthatnoth-ing short of a miracle could enablehimtopay.You may pin your faithtothemanwhowillrefusetobuyoncreditthethingsheneedswhenheseesnoreasonableprospectofpayingforthem,but who,if thethingsareoncebought,will neverrestuntiltheyarepaidfor.Yas,religion—it doesn’t take sanotifica.tion—will stir a man up and makehimpayhisdebts,and the man whowon’s pay what he owes hasn't any religion—be hasn't even commonhonesty.This is not intended.to inolude those upon whom misfortune bas come,rendering them unable to but thosewhoarealwaysstudyingsomeschemebywhichtheymaybeatsomebody.

It is expected that there will be kicking by the criminal class triedinthecourtsofajudgewhoisfirm and just.Sometimes lawyers aliow themselves %become over-.zsalous and when they fail to carry their case through as desired they try to establish shemse!ves in the confi- dence of their clients at the expense of tbe judge.But is it the case that Mr.Wright is listening to theso classes’?If so that disqualifies bim in the estima- tion of good men,who want a man for judge who can rise above any- thing contrary to law and stand up- on bis convictions.If Mr.Wright had waited until Judge Long had served bis second term his candidacy would have beenvoidofthesensationitbascreated, but as it is he is embarrassing his friends and the Democratic party.

SS Our Fatberless Ones,the paper rium,appeared this week enlarged and improved.It is now seven col- umns to the page,is printed on a fine quality of paper and makes a very handsome appearance.The paper deserves well of the Presby- represents should especially com- mend it to their favorable consider- ation. They evidently hate a dull time in Oklahoma,for there is always some- thing unusual going in the affairs of the youngest of the sisterhood of States,and usually the Governor is the storm center.When Oklahoma was admitted into the UnionGutbrie was named as the capital and it is said that i¢was further provided that no change should be made be- fore 1913.Notwithstanding this provision,the Legislature authorized an election to decide between Guth- rie and OklahomaCity.Theelection occurred some days ago and Okla- homa City seems to have received a majority.Thereupon Gov.Haskell, and probably one or two other State officers,picked up and went toOkla- homa City,where they are attempt- ing to carry on the business of the State.Osher State officers remain at Guthrie.The courts have been ap- pealed to,injunctions have been is- sued,and the end is not yet.Gov.Haskell threatened to kick a d@buty United States marshal down stairs when the officer attempted to serve a notice on him to appear before a United States court and show cause why he should not be restrained from moving the State capitol from Guthrie to Oklahoma City.And there is more of the same sort.

How a Young Woman Won the Treas-urer’s Office in the Biggest County in the United States. Miss Gertrude Jordan,of Valen tine,Neb.,who bas just been de- olared by the Nebraska Supreme Cours to be entitied to the office ofsreasurerofCherrycounty,is the fires woman in she United States to bold a position of this kind.“The State of Cherry,’’as it is called in Nebraska,is the largest county in the United States.It iswolleslongand70miles.wide and contains 4,000,000acres.Thenorth-erp portion borders on the Sioux Indian reservation,where 14,000 er ised Sioux liveasemi-nomadic e.Cherry is largelya county of cattle ranches,cowboys,round-ups and Fapges.It is im the heart of the ‘sand hill’’country and there are still 1,000,000 acres of governmentwildlandwithinitsborders.It was amid such surroundings and under such conditions that Miss Jordan carried on bercam-paign.For tbe most part her mode of trave!was horseback,and during ber contest for the cffice she travel-ed more than 900 miles in this man- ner. Miss Jordan is 26 years old and for eight years had been deputy treasurer of Cherry.Last year shedeterminedtobecomeacandidate for the bigher position,althoughsheisaRepublicanandtbeoffice Was filled bya Democrat.Soste resigned and sought the nomina- tion.In the primaries she had two Opponents,and when the votes were eounted she had almost as many as the other two combined.Then came the campaign,and it was the most interesting contest Cherry ever saw.Miss Jordan was just as likely as not to appear at » Democratic ‘‘blow-out,’’and she backed her opponentcff the platform time after time.Wherever two or more voters were gathered togetherthereMissJordanwastobefound. She rode over the eountry time and again,visited almost every ranch house,stopped a few minutes at eachbunchofgrazingcattleandtalked with the berders andwasavisitorat all the round-ups.At the election ste led the ticket and won without difficulty.But when she went to take possession of tbe office her opponent refusedto va- cate for her,alleging thats she was no?eligible to the office.Miss Jordan went intocourt,Sev en judges heard the case in-the State Supreme Court.Six of themconcur- red in an opinion favorable to Miss Jordan.-.The seventh,dissenting, took the position that unless thelineweredrawnsomewhere,&woman would soon be filling the gubernato ria!chair itself.

STATESVILLE,N.C.,TUESDAY,JUNE 21,1910. WIDOWER AND YOUNG GIRL WED. Eloped From Rowan County via States-ville to South Carolina. The story of anotber runaway marriage consummated in South Carolina is told,the principals be-ing Mr.Turner Gales,s widower of abouts middie life who has threechildren,and the16 year-old daugh- ter of Mr.Will Bivins,both ofRowancounty.The ceremony was performed just across the line in the Palmetto State Friday afternoon. The couple arrived in StatesvilleearlyFridaymorning,accompanied by a brother of the groom and an- other young man,having left their home neighborhood,theSouth River community,in Rowan,about 9 o'clock the night previous,the en-tire remainder of the night being consumed in making the trip to Statesville through the mud and rain.The bridal pair lefs States-ville on the 11 o'clock train for Charlotte and went Pineville,from whence they walkéd over into South Carolina and were married by a@ magistrave,returning here Friday night on the 8:25 train.The youngmenwnooaccompaniedthemto Statesville remained here with the team until they returned from South Carolina and she trip back to Rowan was begun either late Friday night or early Saturday morning.It is understood that Miss Bivins and Mr.Gales had recently made a number of unsuccessful attempts to get married in sdjoining countiesandtheirpreviousfailureswasthe cause of their making the circuitous tripto Sonta Carolina viaStatesville.The father of tne girl gave all the trouble,and when the age of hisdaughterisconsideredthisisnot surprising.The couple managed togetlicensetowedinDaviecounty only a few days ago,but Mr.Bivins ‘smelled a mouse’’in time to beadthemoffattheminister’s and report the age of the girl.Theparents had since kept a close watch on the girl,but she was too shrewd for them. On the pretext of going to the rearofveehouseaboutnoontoset the table for dinner,she got ber clothes together and slipped fromthehouseintothewoods,remainingjohidingintheneighborhooduntil the trip to Statesville was begun.Woodleaf was the nearest railwaystation,but fearing that the irateMr.Bivins might head themoffthere the couple decided to cometo States- ville.

KEPT THE KING AT HOME, KITCHINAPPEALEDTOCOLLECTOR Referred Complaint of LawWilkestoCollector Brown—ComplainttoSheriffe Dida’tResults.Briag The report was published in the newspapers last week that Gov.Kitchin was going to proceed on anumberofsheriffs,mainiy Republi-cans in the western partof the State,with a view to removing them from office for failure to enforce the probi-bition law.The Governor says thestoryisnewstohimandthatifhe bas any such authority he doesn't know i8.The report doubtless grew out ofarecentletterfromtheGovernortoCollectofBrown,of this internalrevenuedistrict,with reference toconditionsinWilkescounty.Acit-1 izen of Wilkes wrote the Governor calling attention to the flagrant vio-lations of the prohibition law in hisneighborhood,and asking that some-thing be done.Goy.Kitchin refer-red the letter to Collector Brown atStatesville.The collector tookaction —as he would havedoneif the noticebadbeensenttohiminthefirstin-stance instead of to Gov.Kitchin—and as a result of this action fourcitizensofWilkeswerelastweek sentenced to the penitentiary fromtheFederalCourtatGreensboro.AtthesametimeCollectorBrownwroteGov.Kitchin intimating that the Gov-6rnor should urge the sheriffs and State officers to do their duty andco-operate with the revenue officers.Federal officers of course cannot beexpectedtobeartheburdenofen-forcing State jaws,since the Federal government is concerned only in col- lecting revenue.To this letter of the collector Gov.Kitchin replied that he bad writtenthesheriffe,and the solicitors aswell,urging them to do their dutyinthismatter.So it seems that theGovernorhasbeenafterthesheriffs in a way,even if he hasn't threat- ened to remove them from office.The sheriffs of the State,with few exceptions,are doing mighty little—most of them nothing—toenforcetheprobibitionlaw,and it is not credit-able to the State and county officersthattheGovernorhastoappealto Federal officers toenforce State laws.Now if anybody is digposed to givethisincidentapoliticalturn,it isweiltorememberthatthesheriffof Wilkes and ail bis deputies are Re- publicans,and the solicitor of thatdistrictisaRepublican. cae 6 i ee Miss Emily Sumpter,an aged and highly respected resident of the Loray community,died Thursday evening and was buried Friday at Concord Presbyterian church,with funeral services by the pastor,Rev.

A colored preacher who was oper- ating near Richmond,Va,has de- eerted bis flock and skipped a bond ot $800 because seven women claim- ed him asa busband.The parson should have realized that possibly this was the time spoken of in the Soriptures,when seven women shal! lay bold of one man and propose to eat theirown bread wear their ap- pare!for the privilege of being call- ed by bis name. * ~_= * ‘‘A borse is a vain thing for safe- ty.’”’said the Psalmist,and by the same token there is never any cer- tainty about a mule’s bind Jegs,no matter how great the age of themule nor how long and intimate the ac- quaintance.The Sanford Express tells of a citizen who has a mule 36 yeara old,which he has owned for28 years.During al)the 28 years he had never known that mule to kick, but the otber day an opportunity offered,the spirit moved the beast and it jammed its owner with both heels. J.H.McLaurin,president of the Southern wholesale Grocers’Asso- ciation,is very much surprised that the Federal government should be prosecuting the association for vio- lation of the anti-trust law.The as- sociation,says Mr.McLaurin,is simply for “‘social and legitimate business purposes,’’The courts, however,may bave a different idea of “legitimate business’to that held byMr.McLaurin.WhileTueLanp- Max hopes the situation is as Mr. MoLaurin says,you can’ttel].There never was a trust broughtintocourt for the most outrageous and flagrant violation of the law,that its officers didn’t profess astonishment and try to make i+appear that the organiza- tion was really formed for the pur- pose of helping the public and was conducted practically as a pbilan- thropic enterprise.Like the aver age colored defendan}in court,their protestations of innocence are really touching.* o*= It:has always seemed to us that the function of a public school is to afford thorough instruction along elementary lines for those who donotintendtogotocollegeandthor- ough preparation for a college course for those who do.We believe there has sometimes been a tendency to try t©crowd too many differen:stadies into public sohoo!l courses at the expense of thoroughness inthefundamenta!branches that every public school,of course,is expected to teach.There seems to be at pres-ent an encouraging tendency in thisStatetomakeachangealongthisline,to pay more attention to funds.mentals and to teach thoroughlywhatistaughtratherthantoteach ag many subjects as possible,someofwhichproperlybelongonlyinacollegecourse.—Winston Sentinel. As «6 matteroffact it is not the business of the.public schoo!to pre- pare pupils for cojege;and the fact that this work has been forced into the public schools by over-zealous educators accounts for the lack of thoroughness in the real and legiti-mate workofthe schools—‘thorough inatruction along elementary lines.”’The real work of the schools—giving &primary education to the many—is being neglected to give the more advanced branches to a few. **» The fight between the insurgent Democrats and the organization inWakecounty,whatever the final result,will be worth much to thetaxpayersofWake.It has alreadyresultedinuncoveringabuseswhichwillberemedied,no matter if theregularsretaincontrol.For in-stance the News and Observer hasfoundthatitcostsWakecounty+omaintainitscountyhomeoverandaboveitsreceiptsthesumof$13,-452.85.Durham county’s expenseforthesamepurposeis$3,759.73,Guilford’s $1,207.86,Forsyth’s #4,-699.70,Robeson’s $1,250,Iredell’s$1,833.11.Thelarger costin Wake isaccountedforbythefact,also un.covered by the News and Observer,‘shat the superintendent of the WakebomeliveslikealordatPublicex-pense.Last winter,for instance,he bought shad,sometimes twice aweek,at $1 and $1.25 each;oysterswerepurchasedoften;his coffeecost334centsthepound,and dressedturkey,bam,preserves,etc.,werearticlesofcommondietonthesuper-intendent’s table,all paid for by thecounty.The register of deeds ofWakeisallowedamuchlargersumformakingoutthetaxbooksthanisallowedinMecklenburgandotherlargeandwealthycounties.Acam-paign such as {s going on in Wake(s wores and be generally beneficial.The.wen who are uncovering she abuses and who wil!force the house- cleaning have to suffer a lotofabuse. They are misrepresented and their motives impugned,and it is doubs- ful if they will ever get the credit for the good they do,but they are doing a good work for Wake county. A similar bouse-cleaning would be beneficial in many of the counties of the State. Referring to an address of Pr. Smith,president of Davidson Col- lege,before the State Press Asso- ciation,the Hickory Democrat says: We hope that Dr.Smith is rightwhenhesays:‘‘We are beginning to wage war upon the mightiest ene- mies of the buman race—construo-tive statesmanship against poverty and human migery.’’But when we look at the enormous wealth built up by destructive statesmanship,andwhichislargelyresponsibleforex- isting poverty and human misery, it looks like a forlorn hope.This gigantic,concentrated,tariff-foster- ed and,we must admit,too often dishonestly-acguired wealth,as it straddles like a Colossus the graves of the dead it bas robbed,seems to be trying to reform itself by its benevolepces to colleges,univer- sities,hook-wormy children,home and foreign missions,White Plague victims,etc.,etc.This might be weil enough if it had ever made res- titution to those whom it had ruined —or their children.Bud til)it re- stores,not the generous Zaccheus““four-fold,’’but even single-fold,to any man from whom it has unjustly taken aught,can it shine with the gieam of untarnished gold or silverinthésightofGod?Can the multi- millions—the mightiest agency in thewarfarereferredto—which have created poverty and human misery cure the same?Canaleopard change his spots or an Ethiopian his skin? Glory to Co).Banks!Tax Lanp- MARK has been struggling to give utterance to these very ideas,but he places them in a clearer light and with stronger force.We might even accept the contributions to colleges and universities,missions and pub- lic health,as ful!reparation for the wrong we did not know—did not every man of sense know—that the contributions are for the purpose of buying immunity from criticism,so that the robbery may go on unbin- dered;and worst of all,notonly have the contributions bought silence, they have bought commenda- tion and champlonship—champion- ship in the college,championship tn the church—so that this doctfine is indirectly taught:No matter how you make your money,if you give some of it for good purposes,it’s all right. a *© This from the Charlotte Observer of Thursday reveaisadeplorablecon- dition tn the enlightened county of Mecklenburg: For the third time within three years a Mecklenburg jurybas Jes fla- grant murder go unpunished.The verdict broughtin yesterday was re- ceived,notwithstanding thetwo thathadgondelore,with amazemensand downright horror by a)!the thinking portionof thiscommunity.Whatare we to haveif such conduct by juries continues?It might almost seem that the relatives of murdered men,since the law will not punish,must take justice into their own hands— restoring primggal anarchy.Then, at least,murder could not be com- mitted with assuredimpunity.But the people of this county are unpre- pared,and with reason,to confess the failure of Jaw and order as administeredbythem.Whilesharingastateofpublicsentimentwhichregards murder as a minor and easily excusa ble offence where no race feeling isinvolved,their instincts are s%i!) sound.We expect to see a sirongdemandmakeitselffeltthatinthenextLegislatureMecklenburg’s rep-resentatives shall stand unitedly forbetterjurylaws—laws not adapted to choosing juries which will acquitirrespectiveoftheiroathandtheev-idence,It is only fitting that thiscounty,disgraced by three outrage-ous failures of justice within a briefperiod,should beconspicuous)y zaal-ous for better conditions, This refers to the case of Will andHenryHartis,who wereacquitted ofthemurderofRobt.Simpson.8 isstatedintheObserver’s news co)-umns that the expectation was thatWillHartis,the principal,would atleastbeconvictedofseconddegreetourder,and that his.father,HenryHartis,indicted as an accessory,would be acquitted,Tae LANDMARKhas:not kept up with the case,butthestrongeditorialcondemnationby the law,but it must saythas up tothistimethepressoftheState,ex-cept ina few cases,bas shown re-markableindifference.In fact when- ever a criminal is savedfrom punish-ment by the failure-of jury or judgetodofullduty,or through the clem- ency of the Governor,there are al- ways newspapers aplenty to talk about mercy and applaud.—_———SHOULD BE A LIMIT. The Greensboro Record takes noteofanarticleinTazLaAnpMaRKsfew days ago,in which it was stated that while Hon.John G,Carlisle de- serves al]that has been said about bim on account of his activity in be-balf of the holders of the North Caro- lina repudiated bonds and hig effort to damage the credit of the State while working for these bondholders, that he was in the same boat.with numerous other lawyers,who do this sort of business,in one way or another,on various occasions;that his conduct seemed the more ag- gravated to us because we are in- terested parties.Whereupon the Rocord observes: From which it is {tnoferred that Tue LanpMaRK thinks the laborer is worthy of his hire,or words to that effect,Still,is there notsup-posed to be a limit somewhere in a lawyer’s duty to his client? The Record interprets Tux Lanp- MARK @xactlycontraryto its feelings and opinions.The point was not that Cariisie is rigtbt—for he is as wrong as can be—but that he is simply doing what the great major- ity of lawyers do.Tur LANDMARK thinks there should be a Ifmit toa lawyer’s duty tohisclient.Oana this point its views are expressed by President Taft in his address to the students of Obio Northern Univer- sity,at Ada,Ohio,a few days ago. Said the President: ‘The conduct of the defense of criminals in this country and the extremes to which counsel deem themselves justified in saving their clients from tbe just judgment of the law.bave much to do with theoetanaconditioninwhichwe find its administration.The awak ened moralconscienceofthe countrycanfindnobetterobjectforitsin- fluence than in making lawyers understandthattheirobiigationtotheirclientsisonlytoseethattheir client’s legal rights are protected and that they need not and Ought not to lose their own identity as of ficers of the jaw in the cause of theirclientsandrecklesslyresorttoeveryexpediendtowinthecase.|2tbatthereisnoescapefromtheeviltendenciestowhichIhavereferred,exceps by inducing tne bar tocleanseiese:f of those who,in the interest of their clients,forgettheir oblig-tionsasattorneystothecoursandtheirdutiesasacitizan.“One must recogn'za that the ad-ministration of justice in this coun-try bas suffsred greviously from theintensitywithwhichlawyershaveservedtheirclieutsandtbelighs defense occassion for popular resentment.’’ line.

We believe that he is rated as one of the best judges of the Superior Court bench ‘n the State.And, again,we are losing someofour best.Three experienced judges have re- cently retired and one other has said that he can no longer affordto remainintheservice.In view of these facts,it becomes the people of the State to look well into the matter ofthejudiciary.The Chronicle is no spokesman for Judge Long,but ittakesthismuchforgranted:That bis labors as a judge are congenial with his chosen field,that he has *‘made good,’’as the sayirg goes,on the bench,and that by every right, beshould be given another term,notonlybywayofvindication,but by way of endorsement,for the idea of a judge being crucified by reason ofbisstandforjusticeandright,must be abhorrent to all people who are in toeir right minds.

RAILROAD BILL LAW. The railroad regulation bil),which has been banging fire in Congress a long time,passed last week and was signed by the President Saturday night.On itsfinal passagesixDem- erate voted for the bill,oneof these being Senator Simmons.There are wome good features in the bill ‘and ome not sogood.For instance,says the Richmond Times-Dispatch,if it operate at all,if ite machinerybe not too ponderous to be effective,‘it should certainly expedite the settle- mento!ratedisputes.Forexample, if a railroad announce new freight tariffs,the inter-State commerce commission can at once investigate the justiceof any increases proposedbysherailroad.If the commission think the rates are unfair,it can a? once suspend them for a period of ten months.In the meantime,atest of the rates can be made in thecourt of commerce and an adjustment made by order of the court,This will ob- ‘viously do away with the almost in- terminable delays that attend rate -bearings under the present law.”’ “Then again,’’says the Dispatch, “it Federal regtiation of railroads were desirable on principle,the safeguards which the new bill throws about the -issue of stock might be a benefit to trade.The bill does not require the consent of the Federal government to the issue of new stock,and it does not contain the original pooling provision,but it gives the President power to in- vestigate new stock issues and places power in the hands of Con- gress to regulate such issues upon report of the President,”’ These are two features that have some good in them and there are ‘thers more or less.commendablie, while some are objectionable.But on the whole it is not surprising that some Democrats’saw enough 00d in the bil!to vote for it. The municipal authorities of Gas-tonia have prohibited the druggists welling cigars and soft drinks onSundayandthedruggistshavede- elded to close for the entire day. Persons who want medicine in Gas- tonia on Sunday will bave to look up the druggists.As a matter of fact,the keepingof drug stores open on Sunday,to sell medicines,even, isn’s 80 much of a necessity as 1 ap-pears.The P¥al necessary business in medicines on Sunday is verylimitedexceptonrareoccasions, and the druggist could observe veryshort’bours on that day withoutserjouslyinconveniencinganybody.Keeping open drug stores on.Snn-day furnishes a resort for loafers,and the sales of cigars and soft’Grinks,where such sales are allow-ed,is the chief business.Wherethisispermittedforanylengthoftimeitissoondemandedasamatterofnecessity.If the sale of cigarsandsoftdrinksisagecessityonSunday,the sale of ice cream,fruits,otc.,is just as necessary,Carryingitalittlefurther,the sale of freshmeatsonSundaycanbeconstruedmecessary,and by and by some ex-Guse could be offered for doing.ai-moat any sort of business on Sun-day.

When Col.Roopevelt reached his home asOyster Bay Saturday night, along with his expressions of pleas- ure at being 9¢home again was also an expressed desire,evidently sin- cere,for rest and quiet,and he ask- ed the newspaper reporters not to call at his home,Notwithstanding bis request,a bunchof interviewers invaded his placeSunday night.To these he made /t plain that this sors of thing must stop;that be does not wish the details of his private life made public.His wishes should be respected.The newspapers often criticise men who are much before: the public,as notoriety seekers,and yet the nowspapers are to blame for this very thing,The publicity giv- en Mr.Roosevelt has been much commented upon,often as if {6 was a prearranged affair on his part;when as &matter of fact the fault is with the newspapers who insist on re- porting every detail of bis life. More than once he has asked for a rest from this sort of thing,and one should at least have some rights in the privacy of his home. One of the most tiresome,and at times nauseating,features of the Associated Press and the special writers for the larger dailies,is the reporting daily of the most trivial in- oldents of life at the White House,or of the President’s trips.Some- times this invasion of the private life of the President and other public men amounts almost to indecency and is not creditable to American journalism. The Democrats and insurgent Re- publicans in the House of Congress last week won another victory in their fight to secure greater liberty under the rules,and this time the regular Republicans made the con- cession witbouta fight.By aunan- imous vote the House adopted a rule by which a majority of its member- ship may atany time recall from a committee any bill or resolution re- ferred to it and place the measure upon the calendar for consideration. Advocates of the new rule claim that it will effectually prevent the pig- eon-holing of any proposed legisia- tion which has she approval of a ma- jority of the House.Heretofore if a committee chose to kill a bill itoould refuse to report it and no action could be taken,no matter if a major- ity of the members favored the bill. a= A few days ago it wae reported in the newspapers that Gov.Kitchin was preparing to take action for the removal of a number of Republican sheriffs in the State for failure to enforce the prohibition law;shat the Governor had had one sheriff before him on this charge and had given him another chance on his promise to do better.Gov.Kitchin says all this is news to bim;that if he bas the power to remove sheriffs he doesn’t know it.In someStates the Governor has this power and it is occasionally exercised.I!the:par- er is lodged in the Governor ofNorthCarolinathefactisnotknown, but it might be a good idea for sheGovernor,or somebody,io haveauthoritytocallnegligentsheriffs to taw.Four years ago,in the 40countiescomposingthisinterna)revenue collection district,only onesheriff—Sheriff Summers,of Iredell—was giving any attention to theenforcementoftheStateprobibitionlaw.Since then there haa beensomeimprovémentandaboutone-fourth of the sheriffs in these 40countiesaredoingsomethingalongthisline;and {¢is fair to say in thisconnectionthstbynomeansal!shenegligentsheriffsareRepublicans.

SE Influence of Express Companies Against Establishment of Parcels Poet. Baltimore Sun. Mr.Sulzer,of New York,bas in- troduced a bil]in the House of Rep- resentatives reducing the charge for carrying parcels,so tbat citizens of the United States will be charged no more for the service of the United States mails than citizens of Germa- ny,Austria,Italy and other foreign countries are charged for the use of the United States mails.If an Ital- jan wants to send a parcel weighing eleven pounds fromItalyto any part of the United States,the United States will receive and deliver it.If an American citizsn wants to send a package weighing eleven.pounds from one American postoffice to ar- other,the mails will not teceive it at any price.The largest package which will be received at a postoffice in thjs country,unless i is to be sent abroad,is four pounds,and the rate is 1 cent an ounce,or 64 cents. The rate on a package of that size from Venice to Seattle would bs less than 30 cents,of which the United States would getonlya portion.The people in Italy and Norway or other countries cannot be forcedto use the express companies,and so the ex- press companies graciously permit the United States mails to carry their packages at reasonable rates.But the peopleliving in the United States are the lawful prey of the express monopoly,and the expressmonopoly will not permit Congress to estab lish a parcels post as a public con- venience. In rural communities the express companies do nos operate;still they will not permit the mails to be used as @ convenience even for them,be laims |cause the benefits of a parcels post would become so apparent that the people might rebel against the rule of the express monopoly and give it trouble, “|suffered habitually from constipation.Doan’sReguletsrelievedandstrengthenedthebowels,sothattheyhavebeenregulareversince.”—A.E.Davis.grocer,Sulphur Springs,Texas.

Day's Length and Summer. Wednesday,the 22d,was the long- est day of the year.For the next six months the days will grow short-er and shorter until the shortest is reached,about December 22d.Asa matrer of fact,however,while the old reliable Blum’s almanac namesthe22dasthelongestday,the same authority gives the day’s length for all this week as 14 hours and 26 minutes,the variation being soslightasnottobereckoned.Between theendofthisweekandtheendofnextwewilllosetwominutes,according to Blum,the day’s length on July2dbeingputdownat14hoursand24minutes. Not only is the 224 named as the longest day but Blum also gives that as theday on which summer begins,and this is undoubtedly correct this year.Summer is on,but it didn’tgetunderwayuntilthisweek, KEPT THE KING AT HOME, “Forthe past yearwehavekeptthe King ofalllarativesDr.Bing’s NewLite Baieieourhome a * STATESVILLE,N.O.,FRIDAY,JUN E 24,1910.

The attendant will be the masseur, who will rub the mortal frames of the dignified Senators at a salary of $150 per month,paid by the people, *8 When Col.Roosevelt landed in New York the other day his daugb- ter,Mrs.Alice Longworth,was a conspicuous member of the party. She had been abroad and came over with ber parents,and she Associated Press reports told of the affectionate greetings given each of the stay-at- home members of the family whomet the absent ones at the pier.But nowhere was the name of Mr.Nich- Jas Longworth mentioned.I?was Mrs.Alice who told ber dad to turn around and look at the crowd,and wext to the old man Mrs,Alice was weemingly the most conspicuous fig- ure,But if Mrs.Alice’s husband was there be kept in the background, which,by the by,seems to be his place.Certainly be does not shine as a member of the Roosevelt family. -*a& Mr.Roosevelt's speech in response to the address of welcome,on hisar- rival in New York Saturday,has been remarked oc as a model of go0d taste,and it was.But when he ar- rived in the barbor and saw the battleship South Carolina he is re- ported as exclaiming:‘'By George, that’s one of my ships!Doesn'tshe «look good?I built Mer and those destroyers,too.’’Thecolonel didn’t mean any harm._Heonly meantthat.tho battleship and the destroyers were built during bis administration and that he had a baad in urgingthattheworkbedone.But “‘oneof my sbips’’and ‘I built her”issomewhatcharacteristic;although it may be accounted for by the fact‘that he was fresh from hobnobbingwithroyalityinmonarchicalcoun-tries,where everything Is his ma-jesty’s and bis majesty is accustom-ed to speak of my navy,my army, etc.7 aay Following the wake of the Char-lotte newspapers who denouncedtheacquittaloftwomenchargedwithmurderinthatcounty,a Char-fotte preacher inveighed against the crime from tha pulpit;and thechargeofJudgeW.J.Adams to thegrandjuryofGuilfordSuperiorCourtMondayisthusreportedbytheGreensboroNews: In referring to the general princi.ples of the law and duty ofcitizens,Judge Adams said every man owedittohiscommunity,the State andthenation,as wel!as himself,to seethatthelaw-abiding spirit prevail.ed,Crime,be said,had itaoriginfromeitheroneoftwosources:First,to unbridled passion,vicious.mess or brutality of the heart,and,second,through the spirit ofcommercialism.’’Then in detailingthevariouscrimesthathavecrowd.ed the dockets of the State courts,be emphasized the importance ofstrictattentiontodutyandseverePunishmenttothosefoundguiltyofoffensesagainstthepeaceanddig-nity of the State.‘In North Caro.lina,’he said,“it has reached apointwherehumanlifeisheldobeaperthanthesimplelarcenyofa«borse.’’In explaining this he calledattention.to the frequency of the! former crime and the rarity of the|latter.‘Human life,in the mindsofsomepeople,has become a com-modity,and I may add,avery cheaponeatthas.’’’ The only way to stop this whole sale man-siaying is to punish the~guilty;and the only way %punisheaetheguiltyistoarouseasentiment-will secure law entorcement;a @mmtiment that will cause juries to \2% convict when the evidence is pre- sented;that will cause judges to punish and that will make Govern- ors afraid to set aside the work of the courts.And the offfy way to arouse this sentiment is for news- papers and preachers and judges and all good citizens to proclaim against crime,and for law enforce- ment,in season and out of season, everywhere and at al!times. **+ Folks in this part of the country have generally entertained the idea that Territories were admitted into the Union as States whenever their population was such as to justify their admission;and that when per- mission to enter was granted the sort of constitution and other regu- lations they should adopt wasa mat- ter solely for the people of the pro- posed new States,so long as they did not do anything directly ccntra- ry to the constitution of the United States.But ever since the civil war,if not before,politics bas figur- ed largely in the admission of States. To maintain their supremacy in the Uaited States Senate,the Republican party admitted as States a number of Western Territories of very small population.Some of these States— notably Nevada—have only enough population to give them one Repre- sentative in Congress,and others have only two Representatives, while each of course has two Sena- tors and thus equal power in the Senate with the greatest States in the Union.Notonly is this true,but ft will be noted that among the condi- tions Jaid down for she admission of New Mexico and Arizona—printed in another column of THe LANDWARK today—is a provision that the consti- tutions of those States must be sub mitted tothe Presidontand Congress for approval.We believe a similar course was followed inthe admission of OklahomatotheUnion.This means in brief that the Federal government is given theauthority tosay whatthé constitution of a State may not con- tain.The idea on which the Union was formed was that the States should say what powers should be granted to thé general government. This has been practically reversed by giving the Federal governmont power to say what rights shal!be granted to the States.Isis easy to see how the power may be abused and the people of the proposed new States deprived of the privilege ofmakingsuchaconstitutionasthey want,or as they may think is best suited to local conditions—and of this they are unquestionably the better judges.Ibis not profitable,howev-} er,to discuss this question now,see- ing that the material for the new States is exhausted —New Mexico and Arizona being the lastof the Ter- ritories—but attention is called to it as one of the changed conditions, A MODEL PUBLIC UTTERANCE.

When the Demoratic convention ap-proved Patterson,it aporoved the murder of Carmack.This is the whole story.Common decency demands that Patterson be defeated.The menwhoareopposedtobiminTennessee and the men who havealways votedtheDemocraticticketaretheonly men who can do this.The Republicansarecomparativelyweak;their nominee will have no chance in a general campaigo,even if the oppo-nents of Governor Patterson stay away from the polis and refuse to approve by their ballots the murder of their leader.Consequently,theyhaveeithertobolttheDemocratic ticket or else to cast their ballots for the Republican nominee.Innormaltimes,either course would bedeeply deplored by the national Democratic party,but in this case,either coursewouldbejustified.Ifthe Democrats think they can beat Patterson by nominating an independentand put- ting a third ticket in the field,they should do so.If they cannot,they should deliberately throw the State into Republican hands for the next few years.There are some things that are worse than Republican rule, and the election of a man who par- dons murderers by the whoiésale is one of these things.The whole South will look to Ten- nessee in this emergency,for the hunor of the South is involved.We thank God,in this part of the world, that we have elections that are hon- est and choose men to office who are not corrupt.We want it ever to beso,and it can only be so when we cast out the men who disgrace thepartyandbringshameuponthe South. Good Results of Prohibition—InstanceCited. Correspondence of The Landmark. I see that in some counties the anti-probibition class would like tomakeprohibitionanissueinthe campaign this fall.It is deplorable to contemplate anything being at- tempted against a measure that has done more good for North Carolina than anything we can boast of.I do not claim that the moral good that has come to the people of the State is the only fruit produced byprobibition.I have no way of find- ing out the amount of capital that has come into the State since probi bition,and has been invested in land and various kinds of enter- prises.Is makes our State invitingtoacitizenshipthatisdestrabie. The results already derived by the schools of the State are wonderful, but what we have already obtained is nothing in comparison to thatwhichiscomingourwayinthe future.Fifteen or twenty years ago therewasinnorthIrédell,at a public cross-roads,a little bamles and a noted place for public gatherings, caused by campmeetings annually held nearthe place.There were in the neighborhood a number of bond- ed distillerfes,but notwithstanding the surroundings a few enterpris- ing citizens organized and put up a school building,employed a teacherandadvertisedahighschool.The advertisements were of the spread eagle variety and won good people,who came,but soon slipped away mysteriously.But the school man-aged to exisit notwithstanding at every public gathering some life went outor blood was in evidence,and many good people stayed away rather than ‘see the disorder that prevailed. But as soon as prohibition came and the distilleries went out of busi-ness a change was noticeable and goon good men were willing to help build a new and larger school build- ing,that was in demand,and theschoolincreased;and while it has been under the care of ladies theycanhaveanentertainmentatnight with no disturbance.The change that has come over the whole com- munity around the place is wonder- ful.One For Prowisirion, Another Arctic Expedition Off.

Copeland,dean of the Fiower Hospital.Toe nerves and blood vessels of the Chinaman’s eyes were in goodshape,the lens was intact,the iris was normal,but the cornea had be-come opague.No light could pass into the wonderful and delicate ma-Gbinery that gives the man vision. Uniess the cornea could be made transparent,he could never hope toseedaylight,and this,by everycountofscience,wasimpossible.To be sure Van Hippel!had transplanted the cornea of a rabbit'seyetotheeye of a man in a famous operation,andthemamhadseenfor20months,butthisexperimenthadneverbeentriedinAmericaanditstechniquewasnot known.v-P .At the hospital was a young wom- wn who had been injured and it was neeessary to remove oneofber eyes. The cornea was perfect and her vis-ion had been keen,but the eye was so badly damaged that the sight ofbotheyeswasendangeredunlesstheinjuredmemberwasremoved.It occurred to Dr.Copeland that hemightrepeatVanHippel's experi- ment with buman beings,and ac cordlingly be removed four layersof tbe cornea from the girl's eye andtransplantedthiscircularsectionof the cornea to the Oriental’s eye,re-moving the diseased cornea as he didso.The operation was performed June8audnowtbeChinamancansee suffictently to distinguish light from darkness,Whether:the operation wilt be entirely successful can only be determined by time.

No Contest in the Democratic Primaries Saturday—CountyConventionWill Re-Officialsand End DEADLY LIGHTNINGIN ALEXANDER Cald:ellF,Congress and ForwioForJudge—Some Expression on theSulase The Democratic primaries in Ire- dell Saturday were devoid of excite- ment or of special interest.This was due to thefact thatnocandidates bad offered against the present coun-ty officiais or the members of the Legislature,and nospecia!effort wasmadeinbehaifofanyofthecandi-dates for State or district offices. As a result the primaries were not largely attended but they were heldinallthetownshipsexceptpossibly in New Hope and Union Grove,fromwhichthereisnoreport. The county convention,whichmeetsSaturday,will renominate allthepresentcountyofficialsandwilt!’endorse Mr.L.C.Caldwell for Con- greas and Mr.B.F.Long for judgeoftheSuperiorCourt. In five townships there were ex- pressions as to Supreme Cours Jus-tice.Sharpesburg,Davidson and Kagle Mills endorsed Judge W.RAlientosucceedJusticeManning. Olin endorsed Manning.Coddle Creek No,1 gave Alien 113 votes, Manning 7;Coddie Creek No.2 gaveAllen41andManning13votes.So far as heard none of the other town- ships expressed themselves,but the impression prevails that Judge Al- len will have by far the greater part of the county's vote ia the State con- vention. In only one township,so far as heard,was there an’expression as #0 corporation commissioner.Eagie Mills endorsed W.T.Loe,of Hay-wood county,and H.C.Brown,of Raleigh,for commissioners. While there bad been some discus- sion of the question of placing the county officers on a salary,no regu-lar campaign had been made in that behalf and so far as known there was 1°preconcerted effort wo obtain an expression in theprimaries.There was consider- able agitation of ghe matter in CoddleCreektownshipandanopportunity was offered to vote on it,but as no genera!order for a vote in all the townships was made,ibis understoodthatmostofthesalaryadvocatesin Coddie Creek declined to expressthemselves.The vote on the ques-tion in Coddle Creek No.2 was12for salaries and 42 against;and in pre- cinct No.1,same township,about 7 votes were cast for salaries to 100 against.In Cool Spring a vote was taken,resulting in four for salaries to eigbtagainst.Concord,itissaid,was unanimous against salaries,while in Sharpesburg the vote was six against to 14 for salaries.In Turnersburg township the vote was 6ight to two io favor ofsalaries, waoile Eagie Miils was unanimous for salaries.In fact Eagle Mills wasso strong for salaries tha)it expressed itself as favoring the renomination of the present county and legislative officers only on condition that theyfavorthesalaryidea.

Democratic primaries were held in all the counties of the State Sat- urday to elect delegates to State, congressional and judicial conven- tions,andin many of the counties for the nomination of county and legisia- tive tickets.In the State at large interest centered in the contest for the Supreme Court Justiceship be- tween Justice J.S.Manning,ap- inted to the Supreme Court benchbyGov.Kitchin to succeed JudgeConner,resigned,and Judge W.BR. Alien,of the Superior Court bench(Chief Justice Clark and AssociateJusticeWalkerhavingno:pposition for re-nomination);and in the con- tes!for corporation commissioners,there being two vacancies to fill. From estimates based on the re-turns so far received,itappears that Allen has won over Manning.Re- turns from 48 counties,which cast a mesjority of the vote of the State con-vention,give Allen 289 and Manning In the other 50 counties it is estimated that Alien will havealarg- @r majority.While the result ap-Pears t0.be close,it seems safetosay that Allen is nominated.For corporation commissioners the returns are not so clear,but it isprobableH.C.Brown,appointed to #ucceed Aycock,decaased,will be Rominated to fill out the term,while the indications are that W.T.Lee,of Haywood,wil]be nominated to suc-@eed Rogers.J.H.Pearson,of Burke,will,however,have a goodvoteintheconventionanditis doubtful if Lae can be nominated onthefirstballot.

If .- An elections committee of fifth wasRepublican.Thereupon the Virginia Legislature,in 1908,took Floyd county,with anominal Repub- lican majority of about1,000,from the fifth district and attached it to the sixth,the change making the fifth Democratic without endangering Democratic supremacy in the sixth. The Republican majority of the elec- tions committee took the ground that this ‘“‘gerrymander’’was a violation of the constitution of Virginia and the constitution of the United States, the idea being that when the con- gressiona)districts are arranged af- ter a census apportionment their status is fixed for ten years,or until another census apportionment;that they cannot be rearranged between these periods,If this contention is sound,and is not made for mere par- tisan purposes,the point is an im- portant one.It has been thecustom in some Statestorearrange districts, as was done in the Virginia case, when It fs found that formerca'cula- tions have gone awry.I+will bere- called that the North Carolina Legis- lature in 1907 detached Surry county from this (the eighth)congressional district and attached it to the fifth, the idea being to make the eighth safely Democratic while not endan- gering the fifth.The result was that the Democrats lost both districts at tbe next election,and there was no occasion to test the legality of this change.If it be decided that these changes are not legal—and they can hardly be called fair,even if legal— it will put an end toa partisan prac- tice.Seeneanetonssapuentaaaamamnecaeeeee DIVIDING THE SPOILS. When the public building bill, carrying $19,288,500 in authoriza- tions for increasing cost of public buildings,etc.,besides $3,095,000 for continuing contracts,was under consideration ip the House of Con- gress at midnight,last week,Mr. Sims,of Tennessee,protested against it,but his speech was interrupted with ironic cries.Mr.Sulzsr,of New York,protested,in the name of the taxpayers of America,against jamming a $20,000,000 appropri- ation bill through under sus- pension of the rules,and demanded a roll call vote.In answertothis de- mand just five members favored a record vote. The reason these members recsiv- ed such scant sympath}was because the majority of the members had a personal interest in thecase:the biil carried money for their districts and the appropriation,demanded by their constituents,would help to popular- ize them withthe people.Ofcourse 50 to 7hper centof the money apprc- priated for public buildings isn’s really necessary.As a business proposition the government can bat-1 ter afford to pay rent in many of the small towns,where the postcfiice fs the only Federal business to be transacted;the members who secure the appropriations know that,hence their refusal to go on record in vot- ing for the bill.Bust {tis nota mat ter of business,The people have been educated to expect their mem- ber of Congress tc get something out of the Treasury for them,and his usefulness,bis worth,is meas- ured not by ability or by statesman- ship,but by the size of the appro- Priation he can secure.That is why public building bills,river and harbor bilis and other similar bills swell to enormous proportions.ThemembersofCongressaredrawnto getber by mutual interests—in an- Swer to.a so-called public demand, mind you—snd they stand by each other. So it goes,and the appropriations swel)into billions at each session.The limit will be reached some time.

The Charlotte Chronicle observed iim fow days ago: The position of Solicitor Hammer, of the tenth judicial district,is rath- er an extraordinary one.It seems that be could get the renomination if he wants it and would say so,but he leaves it entirely to the people,de-elining to announce his candidacy. He is not scrambling for the renomi-nation,not even asking for it,but itwillprobablybegiventohimallthe @ame,and inthat case it wil)be allthegreatertributet0him. Whereupon the Greensboro News olaims the floor to remark: Solicitor Hammer is a Democrat, and a most clever and capable man. As a prosecuting officer he has made Porter Charlton,the youngdegen- erate who married adivorced woman many years his senior and then bru- tally murdéred the woman in Italy, will possibly escape the penalty for his crime.Heis under arrestin New Jersey,but cannot be tried there for @ murder committed in Italy;and in. asmnuch as the murderer and bis vio- tim are.both Americans,the Italian government may not make much ef- fort to have him extradited.On top of this his attorney promptly ad- vanced the insanity plea,which in such cases is usually a very present help. Taz LANDMARK some time ago expressed the hope that Judge Jus- tice would be renominated for the Superior Court in the fourteenth digtriot.It is said that he has won by a large majority,and the State is to be congratulated.He ia an able man and an honor to the Superior Court bench.The State could 1) afford to lose the services,at this time,of two judges like Justice and good,and,as the Chronicle says,he|ne. ould probably get the nomination again if he wouldaskforit.Indeed, it is likely to be given himagain any Eagle Mills was theonly township in Iredell that expressed itacif as to way,especially as nu oneelse inthat|°°Orporation commissioners.The dhomrich eceme unxiocs to make the|township endorsed H.C.Brownrace.Are the Democrats of thetenthjudicialdistrictlesahungry for office than elsewhere?Nobodybelievestheyare.There isanother aod W.T.Lee for the corporation commissioners and W.R.Allen for Supreme Court Judge.Itlooks now Treason,and it may be summed up in/|as if the Eagle Mille ticket had woneneword—doubiful.Solicitor Ham-|in the State;that all ite candidatesmeeristooshrewd«@ politician to acknowledge that the election of a Democratic candidate in that dis- trict this year is a doubtful propo- sition,but thatis the way he viewsit,in our opinion. have been nominated.

This plan of curtailment means that between 600,000 and 700,000 spindles will be idle during thatperiod,and that one million pounds of yarn and cloths will be taken off the market weekly for a month.The fifty-eight mills representedareJocatedinGaston,Mecklenburg,Catawba,Lincoln and Cleveland counties,this State,sud York coun-ty,S.C.This radical action was protection.It is believed that other mills {nm she State will follow suit, and that the curtailment,once gen- era'ly put into effect,will save thesituation.

It Provides For Publication of Receipts andExpenditures After the Election.Washington Dispatch.224, The Senate late this afternoonpassedthebillalreadypassedby the House compelling the publicationofcontributionsmadeforthepur-pose of influencing elections at whichRepresentativesinCongressare elected.This is the measure whichsuccessiveRepublicanCongresseshaverefusedtoreport,although it was strongly advocated by the Na:tional Publicity Campaign Associa tion,which included many leading men of both parties. As passed by the Senate,the meas ureis notso strong as when it passed the House on April 18.The differ- ence between the two bills is the substitution of a new section 15 recommendedbytheRapublicanmem bers of the committee on privilegesandelectionsasasubstituteforthat section in the House bill.If the House agrees to this amendment,the bill.will not bave to go into confer- ence.‘ Section 5 of the House bi}!provid-ed for the publication of contribu-tions before as well as after elections. This was very objectionable to the **standpatters’’of tneSenate.Inlieu of it they provided by amendment that the treasurer of political com-mittees coming within the purview of the act shall,within 30 days afeer congressional elections,give public-ity to their contributions and ex- penditures by filing a sworn report with the clerk of the Houseof Repre-sentatives.: Senator Bailey tried to prevent the adoption of this Senate committes amendmert this afternoon and called for @ record vote on the proposition, His motion to strike out the amend- ment and restore the original House provision of publicity before elec- tions was defeated,37 to 30.The Democrats voted solidly with Bailey.Only nine Republicans voted for pub-liclty before elections. The bill applies to the national committees of all political parties, tbe national congressional canipaignccmmitteeandallorganizations which in ‘‘two or more States’’in-flaence the result of an election for members of Congress,requiring themto keepsworn detailed accounts of all receipts and expenditures ex- ceeding $10,and report to the clerkoftheHousewithin30daysafterthe etection.All!records and vouchers ust be preserved for 15 months af wrelection.Thepublicity requiredincludesthenamesofallpersona, firms,associations or committees contributing or promising to con- tribute over $100;the name and ad- dress of every person or firm to whom any agentof the committee has disbursed over $10,and other mate- risl facts,Violasion of the act ieee:be punished bya fineof notover$1,- 000 or imprisonment one year,or both.The act becomes effective as scon as signed oy the President. Methodists Will Fight to Control Van- derbilt. Nashville,Tenn,,Dispatch,20th, ‘Tne Church is going to contend for is and not surrender a hair'sbreadth,’’said Bishop Hoss tonight, refarring to theaction of the board of trustees of Vanderbilt University in refusing to seat the three members elected by the General ConferenceottbeMethodistEpiscopalChurch, Sovth,to fill the vacancies in that bocy.The bishop threw down thegaiatiettotheboard,declaring that ‘tte Church believes that the de- cis on of the commission (appointed by tne Church to consider the Uni-versity matter)was in every way souid and just,and it will contendfor\s to the end.”’ **The issue has been fairly,joined,”said the bishop,‘‘and there will be noc mpromise.Thenaked question is w nether the Church,which origt- nated the University,and which by the solemn affirmation of trustees themselves,put on their own record thres years ago,owns the Universi- ty,has any righttocontrolis.If the Church does not control the Univer sity,it intends to know the fact,and the sooner the matter can be deter- mined the better it will beforall con-cerned,’’ The bishop stated that while no definite action could be taken untila meeting of the college of bishops is held,there is no doubt at all in hismindthattherewouldbeasuit. France Trying to Increase the Birth Rate.Paris Dispatch. A series of measures designed to stimulate the birth ratein France wasintroducedinParliamenttoday. They include the imposition of ad- ditional military service upon bach-elors over 29 years of age,making ob- ligatory the marriage of State em- ployes who have reached the age of 25 years,with supplementary sala- ries and pension allowances to those with more than tbreechildren; and the repeal of the law requiringtheequaldistributionofestates among children.The dislike of Frenchmen to divide their property is @ frequent cause of restricted fam- ilies,according to those who havemadeastudyonthesubject. The proposed legislation follows the recent publication of vital statis- tics which showed that the births in the republic during 1909 were 770,- 000,against 972,000 in the precedingyear,and that the population has {n- creased by only 3,000,000 since1861. “It cured me,”or “It saved the lifeof my child.”are the expressions eS hear every day aboutChamberlain's Colic,Cholera and Diarrhawa Rem-edy.This istrue the world over where this vajua-ble remedy has been introduced.No other medi-Cine in use for diarrhoea or bowel complaints hasreceivedsuchgeneralapproval.The secret of theguccessofChamberlain's Colic,Cholera and Diar-rhcea Remedy is that it Washington Dispatch to Charlotte Observer, From government compilations and recent river and barbor bills IamenabledtogiveObserverreaders tbe following facta with reference to government appropriations to North Carolina riversand harbors,emorac- ing all appropriations from the foun-dation of the governmenttothe pres- ent time,Including tbose in the pres-ent riverand harboract.TheentireapproortationsfortheStateamountto$9,943.022.92, Prior to the civil war the appro-priations to our waters amounted to $732,058.92,or an average of a Iittle over $10,000 a year for tne 72 years.From the readmission of the Statetorepresentationin’Congress jn 1868 to Senator Ransom’s election to the Senate in 1872,a period of four years,tbe State's water ways receiv- ed $185,000 from tbe government,or an average of $46,250.During thistimetheStatewasrepresentedby Senators Pool and Abo,Republi- cans,and a!most solidiy Republican delegations in the House. During Senator Ransom’s23 years of service he and his Democratic colleagues in the Senate—Merrimon,Vance and Jarvis—and she almos$solid!Democratic delegations in theHouse—secured for the rivers and barbors of the State $4,176,200,an average of $181,574 a year.During nearly all of this time Senator Ran- som was @ member,and for a part of the time chairman,of the Senate com- mittee on commerce.By virtue ofbismembershipon,and chairman- ship of this committee,be is largely entitled to the credit for these large appropriations for the State.The State never had a more untiring worker for ber material advancement tban the courtly Ransom,now for a very few years peacefully sleeping by bis native Roanoke. For the six years from 1895 to 1901,in which the State was repre- sented in the Senate by Senators Pritchard and Butler and almostsol-id fusion delegations in the House, the appropriations for the State's waterways amounted to $573,700,anaverageof$95,6164 a year,or but slightly over balf the average of the period of Democratic control of the Svate’s representation in Congress, although she total appropriationsfortheriversandharborsofthecountry averaged more than twiceasmuch jn Pritchard’s and Butler's timeas they did in the timeof Ransomand Vance. In 1901 F.M.Simmons succeededMarionButlerintheSenate,and for the next two years the State’s representation in the Senate wasdividedpolitically—Pritchard,Re- publican,and Simmons,Democrat. During these two years the rivers and harbors appropriations for North Carolina amounted to $319,700,a yearly average of $159,850.ThiswasbeforeSenatorSimmonsbecame @ member of the committee on com merce and before he ‘‘got his handfairlyin,”although during this time be secured the authorization for the first survey of the famous “‘in-land watorways."’ For the seven years since 1903, when Senator Overman joined Sena- tor Simmons in the Senate,there have been appropriated $3 956,364, an average of $565,195 a year—a lit tle more than three times the year- ly average of any other period of the State’s history and nearly six timestheaveragewhénthéStatewas represented in theSenate by Repub- licans.These large appropriations have béen secured by the untiringworkofSenatorsSimmonsandOver- man.and the State’s delegation iz tbe House,for much of the time so)-idly Democratic and nearly so all of the-time.For several years SenatorSimmonshasbeenamemberofthe Senate committee on commerce,and more than half of the $3,956,364 ap-propriated to our rivers and har- bors during the last seven years has been added to the river and barbor bills in Senate amendments offered and secured by him.He is a member of the national waterwayscommissionandhasgivenmuch study to water transportation,uponwhichheiscomingtoberegarded as an authority.
