Street y. A dangerous runaway or mixupof horses and vehicles occurred onnorthCenterstreetnearthesquare no very.serious damage resulted. Mr.Walter Murdoch,who lives afewmileseastoftown,was driving a newly purchased horse toward the square when the animal becanie un- manageableand dashed into a buggyjustabead,which was occupied by Mr.Murdoch’s son,Mr:Richard Murdoch.When the buggies came together the wheels locked and bothvehicleswereturnedoverandthe occupants thrown to the ground. When the buggies turned over they separated and the horses dashed offindifferentdirections.The horse driven by Mr.Walter Murdoch made a bee line for a number of teamsstandingnexttothesidewalkby Harrison’s store,leaped on top of a tween thé mules and the wagon, which was loaded with wood.One of the mules was knocked down and the horse and theother,mule became so.badly entangled in the harness that they were unable to free them-selves for two or three minutes,dur- ing which time there was-much kick-ing and pawing by the horse.The frightened animals were soon caught and subdued but notuntil the buggy occupied by Mr.Walter Murdoch was badly wrecked and the harness onall the teams considerably brokenanddamaged.While the Messrs. Murdoch escaped unburt,the horsedrivenbyMr.Murdoch,Sr.,and one of.the mules were slightly in-jured inthe mixup.Theborse driv- en by the young Murdoch was not so unruly and was caught and sub- dued with little trouble. When the Thermometer Was Below Zero in Statesville. Every time there is an unusual spell of weather—hot or cold,wet ordry,storm or flood—there be many folks who will say it is a record- breaker;that there never was suchaspellbefore.That isacase of fail- ure of memory and on nothing is the memory more defective than the weather, During tne cold speil last week some of the old residents recalledthatabout24yearsago,or there- abouts,the mercury dropped below zero in Statesville.Others,who bad never heard of it were from Missouri. But the zero folks have the record withthem.In the winterof 1885 '86 a@ man named Munds had a drug store about where Mr.RK.H.Rick-ert’s jewelry store now is.Mr. Munds had a big thermometer and kept careful record of the weather,which record was published in Tue LANDMARK each week.This record shows that on January 12,1886,theMundsthermometerrecorded8de- grees below zero,and many people living in Statesville at that time re- call the incident clearly.The weather records in Charlotte show five below in the winter of 1889,but there is no record of that in Tue LanpMarRK’s files. ‘ Basket Ball Games. The basket ball contests Friday between the Statesville Rexall teamandtheSalisburyHighSchoolteam were quite interesting,especiallythesecondgame,and were witness- ed by good crowds.The teams di- vided honors,the afternoo@ game being won by Statesville by a score24to11,while theevening game was won by the Salisburians by a score of 8t07,The second game was thehardestfoughtbasketballbattle witnessed in Statesville so far and the enthusiasm of the spectators grew intense before the close.ThemembersoftheStatesvilleteamdid fine work,considering their train- i ng.The line-up was:Stgtesville—Mor-tis:r.f.,Guy |.£.,\Gaither'r.g.,Gill 4.g.,Brady o.Salisbury—Quoery r.f.,Jerome |.f.,Fowler r.g.,Tay- or |,g.,Johnson o,Tt is understood that these same teams will play in Salisbury within a few days,;Statesville’s first team,which has made a fine record so far,is making an effort to secure dates for contestswithsomeofthebestbasketball teams of this and adjoining States.

Writing of the Shem we)!case from Lexington ten days ago,a staff cor- respondentof the Charlotte Observer aald: ven11.00a.m..ves8.35p.m. that the matter bas assumed is the statement by parties in close touchwiththesituationthatthecasewill go into politics,affecting the tenthjudicialdistrict.It is said that close friends of Governor Kitchin brought influence to bear in getting the reprieve and that the intention was to use political influence to da- feat Judge Long for the renomina-tion in the convention next spring,unfess at the expiration of the re-prieve that gentleman does not sign ‘@ réqtiest to the Governor for a par- don for Shemwell.Judge Long has&@ strong following in his district, which is composed of Davidson, Randolph,Montgomery.ey.Ire- dell,Rowan,Davieand Yadkin coun-.tes,and the statement that a fight oa the judge would be made on ac- count of the matter wil!rally Judge Long’s friendstohissupport,should any attempt along eeebe made.~{received my information in regard eo the proposed plan toring Judge Long in the matter in this way not .from one source,but in fact,from“two widely divided forces within the party t0 which Jude Long be- longs. While not questioning the corres- pondent’s information,Tum,Lanp- MARK does not take this statement very seriously.At the same timeit is not to be doubted that Baxter Shemwell bas influence in Davidson county,which is not to the credit of thatcounty;but the people who know Davidson politically say,and have always said,that money is the most potent influence in that county’s pol- itiés.However,if the Shemwell forces,the friends of the jawless, are disposed to try to make and un- well be known.There can be no better time to try the issue of law vs.the lawless than now.If that is tf be the game Tue LANpMmaARK for one welcomes the issue. At the time Shemwoll was sentenc- od {twas stated in the papers that bis counsel,after using every source of influence to induce Judge Long tolet him off with afine,proposed that if a fine was imposed Shemwell would azree to.leave the State for good.

Tue LANDMARK would be pleased to believe that the credit system is passing—that is,the practically in- discriminate habit of selling things on credit and taking chances on col- lecting —but it doesn’t see it‘that way.There is an improvement ip that direction,but when one looks about and sees the dead-beats,peo- ple who are known and recognized as deadbeats,flourishing like a green bay tree and living cff the fat of the land —well,the time the Chronicle talks about may be near,but when it arrives we will know that the endof time is at hand. r 7 = There are many reports of finding hidden wealth and few of them true, but a seemingly genuine case is re- ported from Wheeling,W.Va W. J.McClain,a contractor,was exca- vating for a building and unearthed several pots of gold.The amountof gold in the pots McClain hasn't dis- closed,but it is estimated at from $12,000 to $50,000.McClain is hold- ing on to the gold,but the Wheeling Stamping Company,the owners of the ground on which it was found, and the beirs of Dr.Shuckhardt,the original owner of the property,will bring suit for possession.Heirs of Dr.Shuckhards,who claim that the doctor buried the money and was later murdered,are popping up all over the country,and several law suits will result before the owner: ship of the treasure is legally de- termined.Meantime the lawyers will cabbage a big share of it. .*@e i law passed by Congress relative to shipping whiskey,beer,etc.,into probibition territory became effec- tive on the lst.It provides thatall packages shipped into prohibition territory sha)!be plainly marked as to the contents.If it is whiskey, beer,wine,malt or any other spirit- uous liquid,the same shal!be mark- ed accordingly.Not only will all packages be plainly marked,but ev- ery person gétting such a package will have to be identified. words,the man who wants some- thing to cheer bis drooping spirit must order it in his own name and own th This will nos stop the shipping of whiskey by any means,but the fel- low .who has been getting it on the sly—and his name !s legion—in un- In plain package when it comes. marked packages addressed to ficti- tious names,will be put to it to get his booze unless be comesacross and But where there's ably be found to circument},in a measure,the new regulation. **BS Mention has boen se the casebeforetheSupremeCourfinvolving the boundary of a special school tax district in Haywood county.Thelainantsallegedthatthedis- trict)was gerrymandered,-s0 tospeak;thatthe lines wete rit inandoutandallaboutsoastoVakotn people who were known to favor the|ing directlyspecialtaxandleaveoutthoseknow&to oppose it.In one case neagly all ‘|secretary,paid by the government. ive : pin aint bia|Sgronry‘wa ofa man ‘afarm wv bouse left out béecau waskgowntoopposethetax.In passing on] the case:the Supreme Cox id: “*Revisal,section 4116,prov 6 special school districta ma:laidofuponpetitionofonefdarshof freeholders therein,approved bygountyboardofeducationandan election fo?a special tax shal)then be held,Thissection was fullgeomplied with without objection,an election beld and carried for a spébial tax Held,that there being no bijection before the county board of education when the special Qistrict was laid aff,and an election having been car- ried for speciaMtax,ratifying action of the county board,the cou?ts can- not now give any relief if district was not laid off ascompact in formas practicable.’’Which ts to say,if you have objectionto the boundaries ‘of a School distric##the objections should be filed with the oounty boardofeducationbeforethedistrictis officially promulgated. ae enn Writing of the criticism of Senator Money,of Mississippi,who has plac- e@about all the available members of his family on the payrolls,the Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: This is not without precedent,Vice President Fairbanks carried ason,who was in college,outside of the city,asclerk.Chairmam Ald- rich,when chairmanofthe rulescommittee,had bis son asclerk.ThesonofSenatorJonesofArkansas, when be was minority leader,was his Sengtors Cockrell and Gallinger used their sons.Senator Frye formerly employed three of his grandsons. Senator Tillman of South Carolina appointed Ben.,Jr.,clerk of thecom- mittee of the five civilized tribes of Indians.Senator McEaery of Louis- fana has two sons as clerk and mes-seoger.That great friend of the people,Jeff Davis of Arkansas,ap- pointed two of his daughtersasclerk and messenger when he became Senator but he dropped them afver the publicity of the fact started a great row back home.Itis a weak- ness of mankind to get on govern- ment payrolls,There are instances in recent history where the deaths of brave soldiers caused their entirefamiliestoseek-employment with Uncle Sam,It isin the bloog.Demo- crats and Rapublicars alike haye the weakness. The trouble is the matter is %0o common,Ithas long bees the custom for Senators to appoint their sons clerks.Senators Ransom and Vance both kept’their sons on the payral! {oa this capacity during their terms of service.Several North Carolina Representatives have done thesame. Excuse is offered for this practiceon the ground that the position being a confidentia!one is better filled by a son or other oear relative than by an outsider,This is a subterfuge, but we're not discussing that now. The purpose is to point out that by beginning with sons as secretaries the custom has grown until {t has bscome the practice to quarter the entire family on the government pay- roll,in many instances in sinecure positions.The practice is a form of graft that in some cases is little re moved from robbery.If theservice is proper and to be paid for,common decency would suggest thatthe sons or daughters of some one who had helped give the Senator or Repre- sentative his job should be consid- ered.A man who takes advantage of his position as a public official to quarter members of his family on the government is a common,ordi- nary hog,no matter whether he bea Ssnator,Representative,Vice Presi- dent or what nod;and the fact that he is aculturad gentleman,a man of ability and popular with his people, oaly accentuatestha.hog.This does not refer tothe custom of making sons or other near relatives confi- dential secretaries—although we do not approve that custom—but it has reference to the case of Money and others equally guilty.

Mr.Fiske T.Burke,who went West last summer and after a visit to relatives in Texas and elsewhere, located “in New Mexico,sends Tox Lanpmakk the following for publication:- In odmpliance with the requests of a,number of my Statesville and Ire- dell friends I am writingtotellsome- thing of New Mexico froma TarHeel’s point of view.This isa fine country with its millions of acres of level land almost as fertile as theNilevalley.We have thousands of fine,sleek white-face Herefard cattlethatareasourceofgreatrevenueto this section.There are also many large flocks of sheep and the “wool industry is very profitable.There are..chickens and otber fo@is in abundance,and this is truly the land where alfalfa,corn and watermelons grow to perfection.Watermelons grow wild with no work except the scatteringof seed.The peopleraise enormous crops of Kaffir corn,broom corn,maize,Irish potatoes,etc.In fact almost everything that isgrown io North Carolina can be grown herewherethereiswater,and there is now plenty of water at Portales, where my farm is located,and inwhichvicinitymuchirrigationisin progress.This is also a good fruit country and sugar beets are grown in abundance where there is irriga-tion.One man here sold his apple orchard at $600 per acre and on oneranchthereare1;400 acres of land in alfalfa that can’t be boughtat$250 an acre.Undeveloped land can bepurchasedcheap,but real estate has advanced rapidly in this section since the work of irrigation bas begun. The land around Portales is sandy, but further south we have a red tight soil and Redland postoffice was given that name because of the redland.To one accustomed to work 20 to 40 acres of rough hilly land in —Carolina,160 ‘and 200-acre rms seem too large,but here one man with six horses and modern machinery cultivates 200 acres with as much ease as the man who culti- vates 30 acres there by the o!d metb- ods.This is something of a lazy man’s country any way,and proba- bly that’s why I like it so well. There are ‘‘sod farmers’’wi sim-ply plant their crops and let them grow without cultivation,and they make some good crops because of the fertility of tbe soil.The farmer rides all of his plows andother farm- ing machinery.While New Mexicoisbeing settled very rapidiy,there are stili thous- ands of acres of land to be taken up. The most of thesettlers liveincheap box houses and ‘dug outs,’’because most of them are poor people trying to get established og a farm of their own.Of course the more substan- tial and wealthy people have better homes.Inthetownof Portales there is.One lone negro,and there are no Mexicans or foreigners.The prin- cipal objection I have to this section is the profanity of the people. Profanity seems as nétural with them as water running down hill. Then,too,we have “Northers’’and sand storms,but aside from these objections,I believe New Mexico comes next to the Old North State with me.We have had some cold weather and plenty of snow.The thermometer has been down to ten below zero.The summers are ideal and the climate is a balm to catarrh and lung troubles.The nights are so nice and cool in summer that ene forgets to get up early.We have good,pure water and it is predicted that New Mexico will become one of the garden spots of America.[like this country much better than the sections of Oxlahoma‘and Texas I visited and I shail remain bere awhile at least.Carl Turnér and |will work over 300acres next season. Weare now plowing our land with four-horse sulky plows.I extend to THe LANDMARK and its many readers the season’s greetings and wish all of you a prosperous New Year.

Tuesday of last week six barrels of whiskey were seized at Linwood ithat energetic revenue officer of |Statesville,in whose district David- son is.The seizure was made,we hear,because of irregularity in the stamps,and the half dozen barrels were shipped to Statesville,where they pow are.The.whiskey came addressedto‘‘Bill Jones,’’and itis said was sent from the D.UL. Arey distillery in Baltimore,Md. The Dispatch heard,butcannot say,that the stamps were tacked on the barrels instead of being pasted on: also that they had been used once,but both statements are only hearsay. **Bill Jones’”’did notappear to claim the property,bvt itis said that his name is not unknown to the minions of the law.Anyway,the sextette of oil de joy vessels now repose be- neath the watchful eye of UncieSam- uel at the capital of Iredell.

Head line writers in daily news- paper offices are very careless at times.Under a Statesville date line there has appeared in the daily pa- Pers an scoountof the shooting of Bob Quegn by Julius Queen;in this county,and in one paper’this head- ing appears over the account:‘The Gun in Play at Several Places Around Statesvilie.’”’The heading is very misleading.The gun was nob in play in several places about States- ville.On the contrary,the only shooting that occurred in thecounty during the holidays was that men- tioned:The writer of the head line made an unintentional..error,of course,butit is one that greatly misrepresents the facts. Atlanta is generally in the lime-light one wayoPanother.The latest fsa sqandal in connection with the administration of the city stockade,a | place where prisoners convicted of roinor offences,and unable to pay fines,are confined,The revelations are terrible.The placeis described as one unfit for human ‘habitation; negroes died as a result of mistreat- ment and white women were hung e@uspended on the walls and were also beaten.It is bard to conceive that barbarity that would disgrace the wilds of Africa could exist ina @reat American city under theguise of the administration of the law,but as a matter of factsuch conditions;inovefori0?another,are more com- mon than one likes to think. Good resolutions,says the Balti- more Sun,may excite the amusement of the cynical.The man who never stops drinking will not fail to jeer at thefellow who climbs on the ‘water wagon’’the first of every Janvary, hoping to see him fall off rightearly. But good resoiutions never burt anybody,and they have helped thousands to rid themselves of bad habits that might have become fast- ened upon them and ruined their lives.It does a fellow good to “take s brace’’every now and then, to*‘take his bearings’and see in what direction he is going;and if heisout|S ofthe right path,tochange his course.

If,the plaintiffs have their facts straight they deserve to win their suit.Overcrowded trains are by no means uncommon on main lines and it is a rareoccasion when thereis not trouble obtainingaseat.Sometimes this condition is an unforeseen emergency which cannot be avoided, but more than often it could beavoid- ed if the railroad people wanted to accommodate their patrons.A rail- road company has noright,asarule, to take a passerger’s money without giving him the accommodation he pays for,but the railroad companies generally take all they can get and give as little as possible in return. ry e “One of the nicest questions to be put before the courts and the public, too,’’says Col.F.A.Olds,the vet- eran newspaper correspondent,writ ing from Raleigh,‘‘is that brought up by a suit against the cfficers of a hos- pital for the insane,on the claim of Mability on their part because they discharged as cured aman whosome months later killed a woman,while demented,and who is now in thede- partment for the criminal insane in the penitentiary here.As a matter of fact it is a nice question,and out of twelve men who were asked to express an opinion about it,six said they thought there was such liabili- ty;the other six contending there was not.’’Folks whoread the news- papers had thought this nice question was settled by the Supreme Courta few weeks ago in the case of Bolin- ger from Catawba.A male patient ad been discharged from the State Hospital et Morganton,not cured but thought not to be danger- ous —the discharge being made at the earnest insistence of the family of the patient—stabbed to death Miss Willie Bolinger in Catawba county.The father of Miss Bolinger brought suit for damages against the father of the insane man and made the superintendent ahd executive board of the Morganton Hospital parties to the suit.The Superior Courtiheld that the Morganton offi- cials could not be made parties to the suit and the Supreme Courtsus- tained that decision. » It is mighty hard:to get things straight sometimes..Several months ago some newspaper started the re- port thata law,passed by the last Congress and effective January 1st this year,prohibited the issuance of checks for sums less than one dollar. The newSpapers generally copied the item and commented on it,criti- cising the so-called law.Other newspapers,more careful,called attention to the fact that the report was erroneous;that no such law had been passed by Congress and that the law referred to did not prohibis the writing of checks for less than $1,but was intended to prevent putting into circulation fractional individual currency in the shape of metallic or pasteboard checks and other forms of promises to pay,asis sometimes done by individuals,firms and corporations.But notwith- standing this information was given out from Washington the truth never caught up with the original publica- tion,Few newspapers that publish: ed the error took pains to correct it, either through carelessness or be- cause they thought they knew bet- ter.By and by the newspapers ceased totalk about the matter.but thatthe published error had had its effect is shown by the fact that the secretary of]the Georgia Bankers’Association telegraphedto Washing- ton the other day to find out about the ‘‘new law,”and hadtobe told 80|by the Attorney General that therewasnoJawtoprohibitonewritingscheckforalessamoun’than a dol-lar;and it is probable that ten yearshencetherewillstillbepeoplein- fathaveadded,thatsolong quiring about «law that never ex-lated, qa-0.W.Morse,former prominent oltisen:and financierof New York, who was taken to the Federal prison fa Atlanta afew days agotqbegin serving a sentence-of:.15 yéars for violating the national banking laws, gave out a statementon the eve of his departure in which he protested hisinnocence,denounced hissentence as.‘‘brutal,’’and charged that the private detectives of the prosecution were in charge of the jury while his case was being tried;that the ‘jury drank like men on a jaunt ora holi- day rather than citizens engaged in &derious service,and that as a re- sult two of them were rendered un- fit for service,”etc.,etc.We do not know what foundation there may be for Morse’s charges,but we do know that he had the benefit of the best legal talent,who took advantage|4 of every technicality that ingenuitycoulddevise,and that as a result cution of his sentence for many months after his trial.This being so,itis hardly probable that he is the innocent man he proclaims bhim- self or thatthe jury that convicted him drank too much.liquor...The burden of Morsé'’s vomplaint is that and that he isa victim of a conspir-acy.Other guflity.men have unques- tionably escaped,but if Morse is guilty he has no just cause to com- plain because.be wag not so lucky. He took chances and lost,and having loat he shonld take his medicine. That other guilty men have escaped is often used as a plea for criminals who have not been so fortunate,but this sort of reasoningisabsurd.The trouble is that the guilty are escap- ing every day and this very fact en- courages others to violate the law.

Then he rafSed bis feet from the floor and hung theretill dead from strang- ulation.He was in his nightclothes aod had just gotten out of bed. No cause can be advanced for the act,as Woolen was thought to be one of the most consecrated Christian youngmen in thetown.He wassec- retary of the Main Street Sunday shcool and usher in the church and was considered a model young man. He was 27 years old and was book- keeper for the Queen Chair Company and had just compieted his year’s work,balanced his books and bad his statement ready for the stock- holders’meeting to be held in a few days.His books and accounts,it is said,were checked and found correct. As an officer and employe no better could be found.He was liked by everybody and was one of the most popular young men in the town.He was interested in athletics,was cap- tain and catcher for the baseball team and was a member of the lawn tennis club and one of the best play- ers.

Attorney General Bickett was Present at the hearing of the tobacco trust case before the Supreme Court fm Washington this week.It is presumed that the Attorney General is seeking information on the trust question,and if so he is to be com- mended.TheStateof North Carlina has an anti-trust law,which may or may not be effective.If it is worth anything it should be enforced.If itis valueless the public should know it and the law sbould be repealed. ———— A resolution bas been introduced in Congress providing for a commit- tee of investigation to pass on the administration of the Interior De- partment.Months ago the forestry bureau,of which Mr.Gifford Pin- ~ehots is the head,made charges against Secretary Ballinger,of the Interior Department,with reference to his disposition of certain public lands.The President sided with Ballinger and the employe of the forestry bureau who criticised the Secretary was dismissed.This| @id not end the trouble,however,| and.Ballinger was forced to ask for an investigation.The quarrel is really the outcome of the forestry preservation and pres- e@rvation of natural resources policies for which Mr.Roosevelt stood,as represented by Mr.Pinchott,and the Gpposition to these policiesas repre: sented by Mr.Ballinger.As the administration is for Ballinger he enters the fight with considerable ad- wantagé over Pinchott.

Members ofaManbarssf Conerese WheGet|at“Ne re Washington Dispatch,4th, War without quarter wiil bewaged between the Taft administration and such Republican ‘‘insurgents’’tnCongressasarenowopposing,and who will oppose in the future,theTatslegislativeprogramme.The bat tle is not with those tariff insur who quietly sheathed their blades after defeat,but with those who havenurseddisappointmentandarewhettingtheirknivespubliclyinan-ticipation of continued conflict. be substance of it is that theSen-ators and Congressmen who have taken a standagainstthe presentad-ministration,and who continue toal- lign themed with the oppositiontothePresident's policies,are tore- ceive no consideration in matters of patronage.Utterances such as that made by Senator Cummins at a recent dinnerinDesMoines,by Senator Bristow in previous speeches,anti-Tafs arti- cles in Senator LaFollette’s maga- zine,and a recent interview by Sen-ator Clapp on the priceof foodstuffs, are said to havestirred the President to action.It had been reported fur- ther that.some of the Republican in- surgents in the House have tried to secure appointments under the ad- ministration of men more or lessopenlyoutofharmonywiththeTaft| regime.Mr,Taft’s closest friends | advised him that it would beimpoli-tic for him to afford sinews of war to those who they warned him,might even co-operate with the Democrats in Congress against the Taft legis- lative programme and in thecountry at large by creating anti-Taft senti- ment inadvance of the 1912 conven- tion.It is stated.without reserve to- night that the President has listened to such advice and has decided to follow it.Representative Miller,of the eighth Minnesota district,was themanchieflyinstrumentalin“blow: ing the lid off’’the situation today. He did it by a statement to theeffect that Postmaster General Hitchcockhadinformedhimyesterdaythathis (Miller’s)recommendations for pres- idential postmasterships were being held up because of his insurgent ac-sivitiol in the House.Hequotes the Postmaster General as saying,in sub- stance:““A great deal of pressureis being brought to bear upon meto withhold from the insurgent Republican Con-gressmen the patronage in theirdis- tricts.I am very loath to do this, and the matter is still under consid- eration.”’Mr.Miller said that he told the Postmaster Genera!that he intended so carry the thing to theopen floor of the House;but that Mr.Hitchcock urged him to defer any such action until the subject could be further considered,whereupon Mr.Miller agreed toawaitfull developments be-fore precipitating an open fight. As soon as the Congressman’s staternent became known the Post-master General called him on the tele- phone and took him to task for not having regarded the conversation asconfidential;to which Mr.Miller re- plied that he had not so understooditandfeltthathehadviolatednocon- fidence,Postmaster General Hitch- cock was silent on the wholesubject tonight,nor would any other official represanting the administration dis- cuss ib.Another feature of the attitude ofthepartyleaderstowardinsurgent members of the ‘louse was hinted at in disclosures today.It was cur- rently reported thatthe ‘‘rebellious’’Repablican members of Congresswere'soon to feel the hand of the na- tional party organization against them in their home districts.

FRIDAY,---January 7,1910. HarassedinSeasSennenWay,ButHe Stood aa &man starts out to uncover @ vested conspiracy between govern- mevt officials and a powerful busi-ness combination,he is laying up trouble for bimeelf.That is illus-trated in she case of Richard Parr, the man who brought the New York customs employes and the SugarTrusttobook.In the January Van Norden Magazine,JohnS.Lopez setsforththeseexperiences: After using all ita power in the |Department to have Parr shiftedfromNewYorkandhumiliated,the sugar influences went at him direct-ly.He was offered $25,000,for in- stance,to call off the Strathyre seiz ure,and laughed gt it.Then“friends’’of hiscada with better offers and advice.ey told him he was a fool ‘‘not to get his.’’He wasoffered$100,000 if he would take atriptoEurope,and always be was informed that sooner or later theywould‘‘get him.’’He was placed under eapicoage.Private detectives tried*to keep him in sight always, and when they failed todiscoverany-thing against him,they tried torman- ufacture it.Some of the expedients tried are almost incredible.He was then newly married and lived with his wife and his mother in Brooklyn.The lives of the women were made miserable by persecutions by letter or telephone,by the appear- ‘!ance of strange men at the windows or in the balis.Parr was said tobelivingadissolutelife,and this was charged against him at Washington.He proved every specific case to have been impossible,and at one time it was shown a man gotten up to looklikehimhadforgedhissignatureonahotelregister.Parr wasin Wash-ington at that time.His desk atthe customs house was broken into and a diary stolen.Foreseeing this,he taken care that there was nothing importantinit,Anonymous letters, from women or men,invited)him.togotocertainplacestoobtainnewev- idence;on.crowded railroad plat forms he felt himself jostled unneces-sarily,and thought tney were trying to pick his pockets.A friendly warning told him he was to be thrownonthetrackstobekilledbyatrain. He caused the arrest of two men in Brooklyn,and they confessea incour’that they belonged toa private detective agency,hired to shadow him.But all this did not daunt the man and he persisted. Government to Investigate Tobacco Asso-i ciation of the Night Riders. Washington Dispatch,3d. Tie government is preparingtogo after the ‘night riders’’in the to- bacco districts of Kentucky and Ten- nessee by beginning proceedingsagainsttheBurleyTobaccoSociety. Convinced that the society is a combination and a conspiracy under tbe terms of the Sherman anti-trust law,the Department of Justice .is investigating its operations on that zround.Agents have recently been :ent to the tobacco growing regions for the purpose of making inquiry soncerning the methods of the asso- atation,and they have reached theconclusionthattheorganizationis connected with the depredations of she night riders,who recently have created so much disturbance in that section.It is ‘known that the officials in charge of the inquiry have reachedtheconclusionthattheorganization comes within the inhibitions of the Snerman law,and there is now a well defined purpose t>present the matter to the courts.The depart ment is,however,undecided as towhethertheproceedingsshallbe civil or criminal.The Burley Society is a strong organization,composed largely of farmers,and it is believed that when taken,the governmeot’s action willcreateasensation.It is contended by the members of the soqiaty thas they have been forced to band —_selves together to resigt the tions of the American Ragsooo bo:pany.The company,%cantons of the society charge,systematically depressed the market for KentuckyandTennesseetobaccoandkept prices down to the lowest point. Further justification for the Ccrea-tfon of the society is set forth in the statement that the so-called tobacco trust has driverdown its prices on raw tobacco,while making no reduo-tion in the finished products sold by it and manufactured from the Ken- tucky and Tennessee leaf. Fire Loss in America. New York Dispatch. Every person in America praoti- cally sustained a fire loss of $2.58 in 1907,whereas the per capita loss in Europe for the same year was only 48 cents.This contrast was brought out by William H.Tolman,directoroftheNewYorkMuseumofSafety and Sanitary Appliances,at a ban-quet of the directors, The total fire loss in America in 1907,said Mr.Tolman,was $215,000,- 000,and,including the cost of up- keep of fire departments,the loss in this country might be estimated at500,000,000. If safety devices wereused here as generally as in Europe there would be an annual saving of $360,000,000, enough,as Mr.Tolman put it,“to build a Panama canal every yeat.’’ —————eeu_QQQV7—_—_— CAME NEAR CHOKING TO DEATH. little boy,the son of Chris.D.Peterson.a known resident of thevillageof Jacksonville,Lark,had a sudden and violent attack of croup.

ACollage TrainingEasked fila vo Profi |the Experience of r BionH,Batier,in ProgressiveVarmer. Arey is a young chap who has been to the A.and M.College.Sat- urday,he came over to show me how to build a silo, lumber pile discussing the feed ra- tion,a rezor-back cow came wander- in,ar would release shat cow,'’said Are Why?”asked my 12-year-old boy.“Not enough feed capacity,"re- pliéd Arey. I don’t need a 50-ton hammer to pound an idea into my head,if I cangettheideainpropershapetopene- trate the other way.But that isthe trouble.So Arey brings me to the text,, Arey has been taught the shapeofcowsbymenwhoknow.When hesaysthecowhasnotthecapacity,I see it._A cow is a machine to makemilk.,Unlegs she has room to hold the raw material sbe cannot work jt up.In the course of 50 years some of these things will soak into a manwhoislearningbyexperience.In the course of 50 seconds they will soak into the same-sized head,if a man is learning by the experience that others have been accumulating and systematizing for centuries. This is the province of the schools and colleges.Arey is a young chapwith ©his first whiskers just about ready tosprout,I am old enough to have harvested the crop on top of myhead.Ihavehadexperience.Arey has garnered from the experience oftheavailableworld.My boy saw the moral o¢the story. He is an interrogation point,and keeps asking questions of everybodywhowillanswer.As a result he has stacked away in the junk-room of bis mindalot of miscellaneous andunassortedplunderthatisofthe highest utility in a way,yet which is not always available vecause he cannot catalogue and systematize it.But the boy didn’t let Arey got away until he found out something of that marvelous A.and M.College,where people learn things without having to pay so everlasting much for the learning.Take the caseof thatcow.Intime I would have soaked it into my thinkfactorythasthecowwasnotthekind of machine we need,and we would have replaced her with a more im- proved milk-makingimplement.But in all that time I would have beenwastinggoodfeedonherandget- ting the minimum of returns.Arey pays tuftion and board tolearn these things on the short circuit,and a whole lot more at the same time.When he goes to his own farm some day he will know what to do andhowto-do it,and he will not be bumping bis shins against the mis- takes that many of us are making every day,because we have not yet dug out for ourselves the knowledge that the college teacher throws at the boys in bulk. The farmer who has aboy will find it a good investment to send the boytoatrainingschool.Leavingoutthe benefit to the boy,the old man will get his money back from the informa- tion the.boy will bring home to scat- ter over the farm.Suppose Arey goes back to his f[a- ther's farm and stays a year or so,which probably he will.In that time be will put that farm on the A.and M.College plan of farming,and pay back more than thecollege train- ing costs.He will seta pattern for otber farmers in the neighborhoodandpaythemforsomethingthey never gave him.He will inoculate the whole neighborhood with intelli- gent and modern ideas.I don’t think it would be a bad plan for a community to catch half a dozen young farmer boys each year and send them to the A.and M.,tobethoroughlyinoculatedwiththe bacterium of ‘‘know how,”’and then turn them loose in the township tospreadtheinfection. The boy is a great institution.He is‘going to run this big world in afewmoreyears,and we old chaps whose bair is turning a picturesque frazzie color,like a bunch of frayed- out rope ends,will presently havesitonthefenceandseehimturn more steam and swing things :n awaytooswiftforourday.That the boy can do his work to the best ad-vantage,he needs all the help that can be reached.He needs technical training and few fathers can afford to keep the boy from this chance.I mention Arey because he is atypeofthecountryboy,and he is an example of what training will do for the country boy.Two things countin this world.Knowledgeand power.Steam and horse-power wecanhirenowforareasonableprice.

THE BOARD IN REJECTING MOOD BillingsleyOtherMatters. The mayoréad all the members o the board were present at tha regu- lar meeting of the aldermen Friday evening.The most important mat ters brought before the board was a request fora reduction of the license tax on near-beer dealers and &prop- ~oaition of thedoctorsto take chargé of Billingsley hospital,Both prop- ositions were rejected unanimously. Mr.J.Dannenberg,the near-beer man who has become somewhat noted throughout the State,and who has not figured so extensively in she newspapers since theSupremeCourt sat down on his contention that no license taxes could be collected from near beer dealers,appeared before tbe board and asked that the license on near-beer dealers in Statesville be reduced.The tax was fixed at $500 per annum some time ago there are no licensed dealers befe. The board promptly and unanipious- ly rejected Mr.Dannenberg's peti- tion. A proposition to take over the management of Billingsley bospital, signed by Drs.Archibald Campbell, Ross McElwee,BE.M.Yount,M.R Adams,W.J.Hiil,Thos.BE.Ander- gon and F.L.Sharpe,was presented to the board.The proposition set forth that as the ‘physicians of the city recieve greater benefits by reas- on of the hospital being kept open than any otter class of citizens,and with a view of sharing both the re- sponsibility and thecostof operating said bospital,we make the following proposition:7 “Let the city lease to us said hos- pital,grounds,building and equip- went for one.year,with the privilege of renewing same for another year, if mutually agreeableto both parties; the city also furnishing the water, Hghts and insurance,and paying $500 cash at she beginning of the lease,and we will operase said bos- pital io a first class manner,employ all necessary assistance of nurses, etc.,and pay all expenses of keeping the same open for patients during the said year.In other words,all expenses over and above the water, lights and the $500 mentioned,will be borne by us jointly and severally. The management of said bospital shall be committed to us,with the agreement that if we fail tocarry oust in good faith our contract to keep said hospital open for patients and fail to properly care for and maino- tain the same,this contract may be cancelled by your board.” It will be noted that in additionto furnishing the building and whatev- er equipment it has rent free,with the addition of lights and water,the city is asked to pay $500 cash bonus per year inadvance.Ifthe manage- ment should be discontinued before a year expires no provision is made for the repayment of any part of the bonus,nor is there a suggestion of any division of profits in the event the venture sbould prove a profita- ble one,as it sbould under proper management.Under the circum- stances the aldermen were unable to ,see where the doctors were likely to share any great amount of the costof operating the institution,and the proposition was unanimously reject- ed Tax Collector Neely submitted a list of delinquests who cre duetaxes on personal property for the years 1906-07-08.The board instructed him to notify the delinquents that unless these taxes are paid in 30dsys he will p to make levies and collect according to law. The matter of repairing the bridge on south Center street was referred to the street committees with power to act,and the matter of putting in water and sewer lines on Stockton street was referred to the water committee with power to act. It was ordered that half the hos- pital bill —$5 —of P.S.Bailey,late street commissioner,be paid,the in- jury having been received while he was in the town’s employ.

Mr.Hatohe),aofvil engineer in the employ of the Southern railway,was io Statesville Friday and took some measurements at the passenger sta-tion with reference to the new sta-tion.» It is understood,so far as the movements of this engineer indicate soytblog,that the new station will be located on the site of the present station.It is understood further that the engineer sta’thas the plans to be presented tothecorpora. tion commission would call for a sta-tion similar toone recently completed at Orange,Va,which cost $20,000.The time limit given the railroad to prepare plans fur the new station at Statesville expired on the 30th of December.It isassumed,however,that the road is just now preparing to make the plans,or is atieass mak- ing a pretence of getting ready.However,each step is supposedto bring us that much nearer the new station and Editor Harris,of the Charlotte Chronicle,is advised that the measuring stage has been reach- ed,While the new station may yet be afar off,like St.Paul when he came in sight of the Three Taverns,we thank God and take courage.

The removal from Cffice of Mr.Gif- ford Pinchot,chief forester,has brought to s head the trouble that has been brewing in administration ciroles in Washington for some time. The forestry service and the Interior disposition of public lands.For making and publishing ,-erious charges against the Secretary of the Interior,Mr.Ballinger,a minor offi olal of the forestry bureau was re- cently removed.Last Fridayales- ter from Mr.Pinchot,chief forester, to Senator Doiliver,was read in the Senate.In this letter Mr.Pinchot practically reiterated the charges made by his subordinate against Mr. Ballinger.For this offence be was summarily removed by the Presi- dent,who took the ground thatsuch insubordination was not fo be toler- ated.It is evident that Pinchot in: wited removal;under the circum- stances the President could hardly have done otherwise.Along with forestry bureau wete removed,one of these being Mr.A.C.Shaw,of North Carolina. The incident has a deep political significance.Mr.Pinchot,who is wealthy,and to whom tbe salary of the office did not appeal,is a strong friend of Mr.Roosevelt.In taking the side of Ballinger in the contro- versy the President is setting aside the Roosevelt policy as to the con- servation of our natural resources. The anti-administration Republicans in Congress,who were strong enough Friday to defeattheadminis- tration programme in the House,will naturally line up with Pinchot,es- pecially as the President has under- taken to discipline them by re- fasing to bonor tbeir recommen- dations forcffice.Mr.Pinchot is an able and resourceful man and he is now free to make the fight to the finish,which he will probably do. Meantime there are hints that when Mr.Roosevelt returns from Afric he,too,may take a hand skainst thal administration. Whatever the outcome,a large- sized row is on with little prospect of healing;and whatever may.be said of President Taft and his good intentions,he has made it clear be- yond question that he is the friend of ‘the’interests.’’The represet- tatives in Congress of the trusts and the special interests—Aldrich and Cannon—have the loyal support of the President. EEEes The three Republican Congress- men from this State called on the President Saturday and asked him to give Hon.Thos.Settle,of Ashe- ville,a job.A place as special at- torney in the Department of Justice was suggested,but it is said Mr. Mr.Settle bas been on the anxious bench since the advent of the administration. At first there was talk that he would get the district attorneySbip or a prominent diplomatic post,but ae tims passes something smaller will doubtless be considered favorably. eS Major John C.Hemphill,for 20 years editor of the Chrieston News and Courier,will on February 15 become editor of the Richmond Times- Dispatch.Major Hemphill js one of the best known,one of theablestand most popular editorg.of the South, and his change from Charleston to Richmond is an important one..

Thereupon Mr.Grant exhibited the following petition:) **We,the undersigned oltizens of Ashevilleand Buncombecounty,take$pleasure in testifying to the Figh character and standing in thissommunityofMr.C,C.Greenwood. We have known Mr.Greenwood for many years and have always foundhimtobeagentlemanineveryre-| sgpect,honest,truthful and a manwhosecharacterisabovereproach.”’ To this petition was attached the mames of some of the most prominent Democrats of Buncombe county,in- cluding two candidates for the Dem- @eratic congressional nomination— Oocke and Gudger—the chairman of the Democratic county committees, andothers. As soon as this petition was made Public some of the signers began to back and equivocate and explain shat they misunderstood,that their signatures were obtained by mis- representation,etc.They presenta pitiable spectacle.No matter what explanation they offer,the fact re- mains that they signed a paper say- ing they bad known Greenwood for many years.and he was all right, and that fact can’t be explained.If Greenwood is not the man they thought he was then they didn’s know what they professed to know and certified that they knew. The Asbeville gentlemen had just as well own the corn...They have tollowed the usual custom of signing &petition without knowing--what they signed;or if they had doubts about Greenwood they didn’t have the courage to refuse to aign his pe- tition.The whole business shows again—ifany furtber evidence on that point is needed—just how little de- pendence can be pul in the average petition. Meantime,score one for Grant! The death of ‘Rev.John Wakefield is a serious loes to his Churoh and especially to/the work in which he was engaged.The management ofa Obureoh orphanage is a difficult prob-lem.With limited means and re- sources,dependent entirely on vol-untary gifts,the demands of the work—and often very urgent de- mand颗always far in excess of the means;sometimes|probably the act- ual necessities for the support of ebildren committed to his care bardly "im sight.Uader these cenditions it can readily be understood that one who has his heart‘in the work suf’ fers many anxious hours;has few moments of ease.A little morethan two years ago Mr.Wakefield was called to the work at Barium.It takes time for:one to become familiar with the work of such an institution @0 as to got the best results,and it is probable that Mr.Wakefield hadjustaboutreschedthestagewherehecouldrenderthebestservice.

Thus the defeatof the administration plan in the House,which provided for the selection of the House members by the Speaker,will stand without another testof strength.The House has not yet named the members of the committee.When that is done there will be a contest between the regular Republicans on the one hand and the insurgent Republicans and Democrats on the other for member- ship on she committee. For six days in the week the Char- lotte Observer is now sold on the streets of Charlotte for 2 cents a copy instead of'5 cents,as formerly. The Sunday paper still retails-for 5 cents and at railway stations and on trains the paper is 5 cents she copy as formerly.The yearly subscrip- tion price remains the same—$8 per year.Tbe most radical change, however,is in the price of the Eve- ning Chronicle,which now sells in Charlotte for a penny a copy and is the only penny paper.in the State, Tue LanpMARK hopes the increased business will justify the decrease in price,but the Chronicle is worth much more than a penny the copy. Holders of repudiated North Car- olina bonds,issued in 1868.’9 and later repudiated,are trying to get the State of Rhode Island to bring suit to collect the bonds.It will be recalled that suit to-collect some of these bonds was broughtafew years ago by the State of South Dakota and won before the Supreme Court.——MATTERSOFNEWS.

The eminent Asheville Democrats end leading citizens.who signed 3 petition endorsingoneGreenwood,a Republican,are struggling to ex- plain,and it is being explained for Shem,that they thought Greenwood was @ candidate for cattle tick in- »pector,census enumerator,or some- thing like that,and they had noides their etidorsement of him would be used to bolster up charges against Mrs.Reed,the deposed Biltmore postmistress.The explanation doesn’t explain.The Asheville gentlemen signed «statement testi- fying to Greenwood’s ‘high charac- ’rer and standing in this communi- ? =) Bs i 4>a yt’;and it was further set forth’ that the signers had known Green- weod for many years ‘‘and have always found him to bea gentleman in every respect,bonest,trutbful and aman whose character is reproach."’ The attempted explanation makes thecase worse for thesigners.They certified thatGreenwood was honest, truthful and his character above re- proach.This is trueor itis not true. If it is true Greenwood would be a competent witness in any case.If the signers know it was not true, wheredoesthatputthem?They did not explain in the petition that this honest and truthful man of high ebaracter was all that only for a po sition of cattle tick inspector but was aman of bad character if called to testify in a postcfiice contest.Yet that is the position they are now in. If they will say,as none of them geem to have bad the presence of mind to say yet,that they thought Greenwood was all right when they signed his petition but have since learned that he.is not what they thought he was,that would be some excuseforthem.But to say,as their expiainers are saying for them, that they testified to his good char- acter to help him get a government job,but are not willing to say his character is good as a witness,is most ridiculous and absurd. Again:The Ashevillecaseis afine example of the prevalent habit of signing petitions.Tar LANDMARK’s object in discussing it is to show the absurd position in which peti- fon signers often find themselves, fn the hope that the lesson may not be void of results. A dispatch from Washington says that Mrs.Taft is quietly leading a ghovement to discontinue.Sunday teas,dinners,lunches and bridge parties and return t>theold-fashion- e@ family and religious Sunday. “Bhe might,’’says the Greenville Reflector,‘‘bégin the reform rightat home by getting the President to stop using Sunday as a work day. The head of the nation should not #0 the example of disregarding the Sabbath.”’The point is well taken. For séme years it bas been a custom pend She custom,ip .asaeino—tar SROt ‘the President to hold political and business conferences at the White House on Sunday,and it is uot un- usual for him to start on a journey on that day.This sbould not be done except in cases of emergency— when the ox is in theditch.The example of the President in this respect is wholly bad in its influence, _for be sets an example for the whole country. The newspaper men in Washing-ton send out the news that District Attorney Harry Skinner,whose term expires February 1,is to be -suc-eeeded by Mr.Herbert F.Seawell, at one time of Shelby.r.Seaweilhasbeenonthelistofthosetobe rewarded,for ten years or more.When he finally lands,severa!Re- blicans in this State will sleepstor.—Charlotte Chronicle. “*At one time of Shelby”’is good, That one time—very probab/y the @aly time he was ever in Shelby —Mr.Seawell went there to make a —@peech for the Populist party.While waiting at the depot to board a train gwome of the unregenerate showered faim with eggs,and on this account Mr.Seawell sued the Seaboard Air Tdéne ratiroad for damages and got @amages,if our memory serves us, Saw on the road was not ible for the egg incident, : y Ia any e¥ent the case was a noted one. “The Rhode Isiand folks seem to have repented themselves before ‘ghey got the thirty pieces of sii- or Ie ie gratifying to know that‘State will refuse tobe madea wa oe scheme. o a the New York banker now servings term IftheFederal prison in Atlanta —and whose case is mentioned on an- other page of THe LANDMARK today |—apge being circulated in North Caro- lina,and as is usually the case,& 00 |good many people are falling over themselves tosignthem.Itis prob- able that few of thesigners have any knowledge of the merits of the case, but are moved solely by sentiment. It might be_gell for these folks to consider the plight of the Asheville signers of the Greenwood petition. Speaking of nepotism,the Char- lotto Chronicle says ‘Senator Monsy is not the only one.There is a dis- trict court official in Washington who bas kept two of bis sons in office for years and who bas just turnedoff an old.official to give place toa thira member ofhisfamily."’Thisis worse thah Money but it dees not excuse Money,nor anybody.The idea which seems to be more or less pre- valent,that because one man does wrong another shouldbe excused for similar conduct,is the rankest her- esy.But whynotpublish the court official’s name?Thecountry should know who be is. The Laymen’s Missionary Move- ment convention at Greensboro last week was largely attended and mush enthusiasm was aroused in behalf of foreign missions,with the reauitthat contributionsto that cause will be greatly increased,About 1,550dele- gates attended the meeting,about half of these coming from different points from outside the State.Emi nent speakers from different parts of the country made addresses and three sessions of the convention were held daily.~Representatives of about all the Protestant denomina- tions in the State took part in the meeting. Lo,the poor consumer!Aconfer- ence of shéé manufacturers was held in Boston last week to readjust shoe prices.The readjustment,we are told,is ‘‘made necessary by the re- cent tariff changes and the increased cost of prodyction,”’all of which means tbat the price of shoes will be increased.And thus it goes.The price of food and clothing and about all the necessities of life are constant- ly on the up-grade.The limit does not seem to be in sight,butit will be reached of necessity some of these days.The fear is that when the change comes the fall will be so rapid as to work serious harm. Dr.Hammer,of the Asheboro Cou rier,who some time ago announced that equal parts of corn whiskey and castor oil would cure pellagra,now comes foward with the following remedy for hook worm: The use and abuse of medicineisa themeoftendiscussed.Thirtycents worth of thymol,rightfully used, will expel hookworms from tbe bowels.Thereafter only a little care and common sense are required to build up the system and protect against further infection. Being solicitor of his district as well as editor,there is no danger of Dr.Hammer being indicted for prac ticing medicine without license,and this being so Tux LANDMARK makes bold to‘ask if one can’t use a ‘‘leetlerite’asachaser after takingthe shymol,provided he can get the “*speerits.’’ A story of Eben Cagle,noted blockader,who was sent from the Federal Court in Raleigh last week to the Atlanta Federal prison for 14 montbs,is being printed in the pa- pers,accompanied by a cutofCagle, and the story tells that Cagle was captured:by the revenue officers while be had the inhabitants of the town of Mt..Gilead,Montgomery county,stdod.The story of Cagle’s arrest,as told in a special to the Charlotte Observer the day after it occurred,was to the effect that he appeared in Mt.Gilead,pulled his gun and fired at random,whereupon the town policeman,Mr.Hunnicutt, got the drop on him,arrested him and disarmed him;that he was tried before the mayor or local magistrate and sent to jail in default of bond for ‘carrying concealed weapons.After the officers had started with Cagle to jail at Troy the revenue officers appeared on the hunt for him and found bim at Troy jail,where he was taken in charge by the Federal officers and placed under additional bonds for blockading.If this be true,and the statement was not dis- puted at the time,Officer Hunnicutt, of Mi.Gilead,should havethecredit that belongs to him.

SSS The division between the insur- gents and the regular Republicans in Congress,which badreachéd an acute stage,bas been temporarily bridged through the infiuenceof the President.It may not be that the breach is pernamently healed,but the cohesive power of public plunder, which has so strongly welded the Republicans all these years,will not be easity’broken. Rowan Woman Put Negro to Flight. Salisbury Post,15th. Mrs..Lee Stiller,wife of one of Locke township's well kno«n farm.ers,saved herself from an attack at the hands of an unknown negro yes- terday morning about 11 o’olock bythedisplayofrarecourage. Mrs.Stiller had been in the kitch- en attending to household duties and left the room to go to the woodyard. As she stepped outshe wasconfront- ed by a negro whom she had never seen before.Asking him what hewanted,the negro gave an insolent answer,and when ordered by Mrs. Stiller to leave the yard replied thathehadnotntentionofgoing.Mrs.Stiller stepped into the kitchen and, catching up a pistol which she al- ways keeps by her side in the ab- sence of the male members of thefamily,advanced upon the negroand again ordered him to leave.“I don’t helieve a d—d thing. You wouldn’s shoo},’’was bis reply. The words were hardly off his lips when Mre.Stiller pulled down on him.The bullet went wild,as dida second one sent after bim as he turn- ed and fled to the woods.

Io the foreword of the furniture factory chapter of his forthcomingannualreport,Commissidner of La- bor Shipman says that while thesup-piy of raw material is by no means acutely short,greatinroadsare beingmadeinthetimber-lands of thisSatethatfarnishitandthatitisa suurce of regrat that,apparently,no steps are being taken to preseryeorprovideasupplyforuseafterthe orasent supply bas been exhadsted. Is is estimated,the commissioner says,that less than 30 per cent,ofthea¢vual timber felled for the pur- p se fiods its way into the finished product,which allows for something like 70 per cent.of waste between the timber standing andthe finished article. The Japs and limbs of trees are,in most cases,tbe commissioner says, left to rot,while dew trees,whichwouldinafewyearsfurnishgood material for lumber,are cut for cord- wood.Hesays the tendency towardshortnessofrawmaterialiswell illustrased by the fact that standing tim>er on some lands now brings morethan the land itself could have hasan anA woe ,hnnahs for aiv or seven years ago. As wo the furniture manufacturing interests,Mr.Shipman says the business is quiet,but is playing animportaatandsubstantialpartin the odustrial lifeoftheState.There are 98 factories reporting,with an agg -egate capital of $3,475,600,using 10,157 horse power for the operation of tne factories.The reports show an sggregate of 6,271 employes,with highest average wage of $2.40 perday.This is an increase of 8 cents per day over the average for last year.The lowest average is 91 cents,an increase of 1 cent.per day. Ninety ver cent.of the employesreadandwrite.The estimateis that 15,954 persons are dependent on these factories for support.Five factories work nine bours;92 work ten hours per day and one reportsworking11hours.

Out of the work of the forestservice,be proceeds,grew the conservation movement. ‘Today that movement expresses one of our deepegs national convic-tions,”’he says,‘‘aod the principles for which it stands are received as axiomatic.It is only the execution of them which remains in doubt.’’ Mr.Pinchot traces the recommen- dations of the conference on conservationattheWhiteHouseinMay,1908, the subsequent creation of the na-tional conservation.commission, which he says together with Presi-dent Roosevelt's message to Con- gress on the subject,set forth acom- prehensive,definite scheme for the conservation of our natural re sourcces—which he applauds and en-dorses.Then he proceeded: **At this critical period,when the goal was io sight,enemies of con- servation in Congress not only suc- ceeded in preventing an appropria- tion with which to pursue the work but attempted to forbid its:progress by the Tawneya dmenttothe lastcivilbill.Thereupon the work of the natural conservation commission was stopped. “These recommendations of the commission stil!wait for action.-Al! wise men will agree that the situa- ation isserious.The Tawney amend- ment was more than a mistake—itwasadeliberatebetrayalofshefu- ture.The dangers which confront conservation today must be met by positive action in Congress.No ac- tion will be equivalent to bad action and will have the same results. “Unless Congress acts;the water powers will pass into hands of spe- cial interests without charge and without limit of time.So with the phosphate deposits on public landswhenthewithdrawalswhichnow Pprovecs sutitafe temvveu.-Gu win the enormously valuable coal depositsinAlaskawhichthepresentlaw would sell for ten dollars per acre. ‘The danger of bad legislation is no less serious.The special inter- ests must no longer be allowed to take what they choose out of thegreatpropertyofallthepeople.

Farmers’Union. Toe price of cotton will probably go abnormally bigh this spring.A sbort crop puts all the big merchantsandgambiersonthe“‘bull’’side of the market,because it is easier to wo Oo that side,with a short crop. When there is a big crop all the speculators and gamblers get on the ‘bear’side and use their influence todepress prices.Inali probability there will be a bumper cotton crop this year and wecannotexpect pres- ent high prices of cotton to prevail. But the price of food products will remain high.With 60 per cent.of our population living in towns and citiss toe prices for food productswillcontinueathighlevelandper- haps go even higherthannow.Itis a dungerous thing to plant heavily of cotton,and Farmers’Union men sbould be careful where they tread.if*has cLusedmorepoverty-stricken bomes and more impoverished soils in the South thanali other causescombined.Im- prove your bomes with yoursurplus casn and make them more attractive.

Nepotism has been in business to @ considerable extent in Clemson College,South Carolina,if charges made by the president of that insti- tation are to be believed.For some ‘Sw-¢ime there has been much friction pow”take cbances of being eriti- at Clemson College and the last Legislature appointed acommitteeto investigate the State colleges.To the report of the committee,made to the Legislature now in session, President Mel),of Clemson,appends @ statement severely criticising the board of trustees and holding it responsible for the long years of friction at the college.He makes eeveral sensational charges against the board,among others that nepo- tism is so prevalent in their employ- ment of teachers and others that frio- tion is inevitable.Naming five mem- bers of the board of directors—R. W.Simpson,W.W.Bradley,J.E. Wannamaker,W.D.EvansandAlan Johustone—he charges that Simpson has three sons-in-law on the faculty; that Bradley basa brother on the faculty;that Wannamaker has a brother-in-lawon the faculty,anephb- ew on the station staff,a niece inthe ‘office of the president anda relative in the treasurer’s office;that Evans has a son in the treasurer's office and sa son holding the position of fertilizer inspector,and that John- .stone bas a_nephew on the faculty. ,From all of:which it would seem that the administration of Clamson has been somewhat of a family affair. ”cd e With the endorsement,‘‘Sensi- ble,’’the Statesville LawpmAnxk says:“Charlotte ministers have entered into an agreement to shorten funeral services,the plan being to end theserviceanddismissthecompanyas goon as the body is lowered into theve,’’Of course it is a sensible plan.Whether an hour and a half, or twenty-five minutes,are consum- ed in the last sad rites,it is all the game tothe corpse.In the end,the“‘whSrter service is better for the com- fort of the bereaved,and for thehealthofthesympathizingfriends,who are often subjected to unneces- @ary exposure to the weather.—Charlotte Chronicle. The custom of preaching funeral sermons is largely disappearingand the simple burial service is taking fts place.‘Tis well.The matteris a delicateone and the change must be made slowly,but if the preachers will show a little nerve the change will soon come to pass.The old Mies was thata funeral service was ‘pot complete unless a eulogy was pronounced over the corpse.A few people deserve a culogy when they are called hence;of many the least ealG the better.It is hard to dis- eriminate,therefore the eulogy shodld be left off exceptin extraordi- mary cases.The old customof open- iaig the coffins at the graveyards,ex- posing the corpseto thegazeofthe @urious aad requiring the relativest»amke a freeb demonstration of m Cd devoid of feeling, p happily paseiog.;—~end we take no pleasureSeocagingGilledberestotheold States-|ine country custom of requiring the palibearers and others to fill the grave while the family and friends stand andwalt,Oftenthisisapos- itive hardshipand the custom id have been abandoned long the corpse is lowered into #ve let the company be dismissed and the cemetery keeper can fill thegraveat his leisure.He bas to be paid for digging the grave and filling itcould be included inthecost.If members of the family and intimate friends de- sire to wait until the graveis closed and place the flowers,a room for their comfort can be provided at the cemetery house.The changeof this custom is a matter of common sense and the practice shovld not exist a day Jonger.* A writer in the Charlotte Obser ver says: With the cotton crop for the season of 1909-’10 practically harvested, ginned and sold,the worldis begin- ning to turn its attention to thecropof1911%nd already it is indicated that there will be a mammoth plant ing.That the speculative world ex- pects such a turn in the affairs is ev- idenced by the reports which bave been sent out recently and,haps,too,by the recent bear raid on the market which caused sensationalde- clines in the market.The farmers,along with the reatof the people,have become convincedthattherewillbenomorechespcot- ton and cheap cotton means under 10cents,Acting on vhis impulse, which has been created in them by those who are supposed toknow bet- ter of the world’s veéds of raw material than they do themselves,the producers are laying their win- ter plans to plant immensecrops,ac- cording toall reporss. The tenor of thearticle from which the above is an extract seems to be favorable to planting a large crop of cotton,on the idea that the demand for the staple is so great that the price cannot by any possibility go under 10 cents.Tux LANDMARK doesn’pretend toadvisefarmers.It occasionally prints an article from an agricultural journalor froma cor- respondent who feels that he has a message for the farmers,but that is the extent of itasuggestions.In this connection,however,it cannot re- frain from expressing the opinion that if-a big crppof cotton is harvest- ed this year he who believes that the price cannot go under 10 cents will find himself umdeceived before an- other happy,glad New Year rolls around.The talk that the demand for cotton—the consumption of cotton —is so great that it is impossiblefor the price to go under acertain figure is all very well on its face,dut it is: not borne out by the facts.A few years ago cotton went up to 16 and 17 cents and we heard the same sort of talk—there never could be any more low-priced cotton. The next season saw the price drop to7 cents and thereabouts.As re- cent as year before last much of the crop ig for leas than 10 cents. This year the price went up because the crop was unusually short,but if the size of the crop had governed the price solely,the figures would have been nearer 20 cents than 15, Judging the future by the past—and thefe is no other safe way of fore- casting events—if a big cotton crop fa raisad shja vagr—as,w'))vary probably be the case if the season is favorable—the price will range just as it has ranged in the past unless the cotton growers themselves can find ways and means to force the price,something they have been un- able to do up to this time.Some- times the talk that the price of cotton is bound to range high regardless of the size of the arop,is passed outfor @ purpose by men whose interest will be served by having plenty of cotton at a low price.

Taking note of the grave oharaes _»@gmcerning the administrationof the land office,brought by Congressman Hitehoock,of Nebraska,against Mr. _Ballinger,Secretary of the Interior, the Asheville Gazette-News says: ‘“he denial of Mr.Ballinger,em- phatic as it may:appear,does not signify anything.The late Senstor Mitchell stood upon the floor of the Senate and called upon God and his colleagues to witness his innocence; but the law courts held differently, and the Senator was able to escape punishment only in death.Binger Slermann now says he is not guilty, but stupendous frauds are alleged against him,in his administration of the land office,There is something wrong aboutthatland office.Tongue will never tell,nor pen record,thestealingsthathasalwaysgoneonin Western lands,and we have little ih doubt that the ramifications of theseM3robberieshaveledtothelandoffice e in Washington.”’ .Ta view of the fact that numerous stupendous land frauds have been unoovered from time to time and there is every reason to believe that many more have escaped detection, or at least prosecution,whata pity it is that a fair and square investi- .._gation-of-all the r cannot be made;the innocent vindicated and the guilty,no matter whether cabi- met officer,member of Congress or what not,exposed and punished.

R.D.Williams aod bis son,Felix Williams,of New Hope township, who were arrested and placed under bond last week on charges of retell- ing,wees a preliminary hear- before Justice Turner yesterday. R.D.Williams was acquittedof the charge against bim,but the younger defendant was bound to Superior Court {n five cases in the sum of $500, He gave bond.Williams,Sr.,was also arraigned-ona chargeof tamper- ing with a witness,but-was found pot guilty. Sheriff Deaton and his deputies bave been working op the cases against Felix Williams and his brother,Parks Williams,for about six or eight months,and sointerest- ed aretheofficers in the outcome of the cases that the sheriff and three deputies were present at the bearing yesterday.Parks Williams bas not yet been taken by the officers but they bope to get him sooner or later. There are a number of cases against bim for retailing.It wasatthe home of R D.Williams,the father of the alleged young retailers,that the offi- cers found a barrel of liquor,a lot of bed clothing,a lantern,etc.,undera bay stack jast fall,and Felix Wil- liams {i the young fellow whocutthe rubber tires on the sheriff's buggy while the officers were searching for Parks,who had been occupying the bedroom under the bay stack.On this same trip to the Williams bome- stead theofficers foundalotof liquor, many empty vessels,astillandother parapbernalia inthegranary;andin a thicket nearby was found anempty barrel,while three still sites were found on and in the vicinity of the piace. At the hearing yesterday Sheriff Deaton brought up some of the old soores against the Williamses and the attorney for the defendants ob- jected,whereupon thesheriff assert ed that he bad worked hard togetthe cases in court and he expected tosee that the State's side of the cases was given a goodshowing.Whentbeat- torney was pleading to the court to require only a small bond for hiscil- ens’s appearance at Superior Court, mentioning that there were only five cases against Felix,the sheriff again spoke up and said thatif thenumber of cases was to figure he could get a balf dozen more against the defend- ant in a very short time. It evidently takes plenty of booze to supply a certain family of eleven living in the Snow Creek community. One of the witnesses against the al- leged retailers,who said he lives in the Snow Creek country,testified that he bought a gallon of liquor on the 3d of December,another gallon on the 5th and a third on the 8th— threes gallons within five dsys —the price being $2.30 the gallon.He etated further thatthe family of elev- en which be represented consumed the liquor,saying that some of the little folks drankaportionalong with the older members of the family. Mr.M.H.Pinonix,representing the Farmers’Cotton Grader Compa- ny,with general offices in Washing- C.,was in town last week for the purpose of introducing the cotton ler sold by this cOmpany.Th qreder,which ‘Is circular in shape and reminds one of a grindstone,is geparated into glass-covered oom- partments,and into each of these compartments a sample of cotton is placed and labeled according to grade,It ts clafmed that by the use of the grader each farmer can grade his own cotton and the graders are to be sold direct to the farmers. It is also the further purpose,{t is gaid,to enable the farmerstosell cot- ton direct to the mill.Ineach coun- 7 local agent is appointed—Oapt. .H.B.Gregory has been appoint ed for this county —and the plan is for each farmer who grades his own cotton to report to the agent how many bales of each grade he has and the agentcan then report to the mills how many bales of different grades can be mayestDanielJ.Sully is the president of the company which is exploiting the grader.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS The Charlotte News tells that Mr. J.M.McCorkle,a farmer of Steele Creek,Mecklenburg county,sold four loads of hay on the Charlotte market for the sum of $151.09.When one realizes how smallalotof ground it takes to produce four loadsof hay, the wonder is that the local markets |gare noéf all supplied with homegrown bay instead of the foreigh product, as is the case. *& While Peary bas been little in the public eye—there bas been little mention of him in the newspapers— since the extinctiom of Dr,Cook, preparation is being made to.do him honor.On the evening of February 8 a national testimonial and a purse of $10,000 will be presented to the explorer.The affair is to take place under the auspices of the Civic Fo- rum,at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York city,and Governor Hugheswill preside.Theexpenses of the event are guaranteed by a committee headed by Andrew Car- negie.re The late Capt.Bason,of Charlotte, used.to talk about ‘‘assumacy.”’ The following parsgraphs from the Winston Republican afford the best definition of that word that could befoundinaday’s journey:: There is nodoubt that tbe investi- gation [Ballinger-Pinchot]will be thorough and absolutely impartial, and the decision will be accepted as Little is now being said in any quarter against the new tariff.It is working perfectly.’The special message of the Pres!- dent has been received throughout the country with almost unanimous approval._ The Charlotte Chronicle says that sinoe the selling price of that paper has been reduced to a penny the copy in Charlotte,the demand for the paper has increased to such an extent that itis necessarytoincrease the capacity of the Chronicle’s press. The present press has a capacity of 20,000 8-page papers an hour and 340,000 an hour of any size from 8 to 16 pages.The addition whish will be made will increase the capacity to 30,000 8-page papers the hour and -24,000 papers of 10 to 12 pages the hour.That is going some.TurXawpmanxhopestheChronicie's ven- Ware will be permanentiy successful. **a The conférence of Governors of States,in Washington last week, made a noted departure from the us- ual custom of public gatherings. Usually when a public meeting of any ocbaracter is held,resolutions are discussed and adopted,and va- rious things are commended or con- demned.Often the passing of the resolutions ends the matter.But the Governors’conference at the mational capital decided to make no @xpression on public questions.Is ‘was contended that their coming to- gether was in the nature of anexpe- rience meeting for mutual benefit, and it was decided to forego the formal expression of opinion on matters and things. e @ The-latest rumor concerning Mr. Rovosevelt—there are many rumors, probably all of them speculation,as to his future in American politics— is that he is tobe elected to Congress from the first New York districtand will then be elected Speaker of the House.While this is probably a “camp rumor’’only,itisinteresting ‘@ contemplate Mr.Roosevelt as Speaker.Talk about Oldjo Cannon _Being a Czar,the Hon.Jo.Cannon fe am amateur In that line compared with what Mr.Roosevelt would be.

Intimating that Lieut.Gov.Newland is unknown is a sort of babit with the;Herald;and as Tus LanpMmagk has had occason toobserve,this does not argue so much‘that Mr.Newland is unknown as it does that the edi- tor of the Herald is not well posted. Mr.Newtand@ has’been in the public life}of the State for 25 years.He was solicitor of his district,hasbeen several times a member of the Legis- lature and a leader in that body; has been a candidate for Congress and is now Lieutenant Governor, and is a leading lawyer of his seo- tion.He is a man of ability and character,but he is a modest man, and that is probably the reason he doesn’t figure in the newspapers so much as others less worthy.: e * The conditions found to exist in the,Soush Carolina bospital for the insane,according to the report of the investigating committee,are al- most unbelievable.Certainly Tux LANDMARK would not believe the story did not a body of responsible South Carolina citizens,appointed to investigate,vouch forit.There- port reads like a page from the dark ages..That it could exist under over modern civilization,in a State of wealth and intelligence,is aston- ishing.‘The revolting conditions recently unearthed at the stockade in Atlanta were adisgrace to our civilzation;that the helpless insane are treated like brutes in one of the States of the South is sufficient to make al]humane and civilized people hang their heads in shame.The thing to do,however,is topromptly remedy the-wrong.If South Caro-lina acts promptly and makesa rad: ical changé in existing conditions, much will be forgiven.

Without placing the blame on any particular person,the majority re-port states the evidence shows: That 15 patients of one ward were bathed in the same water in a bath tub;that the foulest water closets, centers of wide soil pollution,with-out screens,are located within a few fees of an outdoor kitchin;that the bodies of dead patients are buried one on top of another inthe same lot},with as little considerationasif they were 80 many dogs;thatcholera hogs and the dead are kept in the samelot;that the wards,evenof the white women,are Overrun with verminand the patients are allowed to go un- kempt and ragged.

A minority report,submitted by three members of the commission, disagrees with the main features of the majority report.It holds that the lack of funds to put the institu-tion on a modern basis,due to the State’s heavy indebtedness,is the principal source oftrouble.Itstates that the patients,as a rule,are wellcaredfor,that the food served is of good quality and well cooked andthattnemanagementoftheState'sfarmissympatheticandefficient The majority report states that itisunncessarytocreateagreatdebtfortheStateinthepurchaseofnew sites and that the expenditure ofabout$50,000 annually for several years will meet the requirements of the situation.

Following s discussion of the pab- lication in y afternoon's Chronicle of a story regarding she case of smal!of L,O.Prim,who had been engiheer incharge ot the boiler room at the Central 1,Mr. Frank M.Caldwell,a reporter on the Chronicle,and Mr.A.N.Per- kins,proprietor of the Central,this morning engaged in a fisticuff in the lobby of the hotel. Mr.Perkins was bebind the coun- ter-in the hotel and Mr.Caldwell, who lives at the Central,had just come down from breakfast.He ap- proached the counter on business and Mr.Perkins referredto the story in yesterday's Chronicle about an employe of the hotel being qusran- tined at hia bome with a case of smallpox. During the conversation Mr.Per- kins stated:zhat ‘the writer of the story,when he stated thas smallpox at the Central Hotel was being talk- edon thestreets,had writtena bunch of lies.’” “You ares liar,’’said Mr.Cald- well,and the two men went together. The fight was a pretty sorry exbibi- tion.The counter between the two rendered a scrap almost impossible but they struck at one another at arms’jength for several minutes. Mr.Perkins picked upan ink well and threw it at Mr.Caldwell.The latter dodged and the vessel struck the wall.Mr.Perkins then turned +0 enter the lobby through the near- est door,but was restrained by aclerk.Mr,Caldwell wasstill stand- ing in'the lobbyofthehotel.Hehad been struck in the face by Mr.Perkths and bis nose bled freely.Seeing that the scrap,was over he went to the hotel lavatory in the rear of the lob- by and washed {nk from his hands and the blood from his nose.

Continuing the same line of study as presented in Friday’s Lanpmaxrk, we find some interesting figures in the government’s report on corn.I have no data showing the world’s corn acreage,but the yield for all countries for 1907,the latest year for which I have a complete report, is 3,300,285,000 bushels,which is about two bushels per capite for the entire population of theworld.The United States produced for the sameyear2,592,320,000 bushels,which is 28 bushels per capita for our own population.’So other countries pro- duced 707,936,000 bushels,or about one-half bushel per capita for theworld's population outside of the United States.It will thus be seen that the Unit- ed States produces about 3}times as much corn as all the balance of theworldcombined.When we remem- ber that corn is used largély for feed for live stock,we can readily appre- ciate the important position which this greatest of all cereals occupies in the world’s food supply,and it should be a source.of pride to every American that our own country oc- cupies so conspicuous a place as a feeder of the nations.Each 100 bushels of corn takes out of the soil $29.22 worth of plant food, and the total value of plant food re-moved-from our soils each year is $757.474,000.As we export or send out of the country where grown 21 per cent of all the corn we raise,it will be seen that we lose $159,000,000 worth each year.The Other may partly be returned to the soil in theformofmanuresorby-products from the crop.The question that natur- ally arises is how long is this going to last?Is it not reasonable to aon- clude that great soil exhaustion basbeengoingon?This enormous yield of corn-has been keptup in the past by bringing into cultivation new soils,but this cannot always continue.It necessarily follows, then,that if our corn production is to keep pace with the demands upon it,the increase must come from in- creased yield ratber than a larger acreage.E.S.MILusaPs.

The pond was drawn off for what was said to be the purposeof releas- ing the mud above the dam,and the fish were caught with a seine below.

The Obarlotte Observer refers to “@ee shipping of a few thousand pounds of ‘Jerusalem oak seed’’ from Sampson and Onslow counties ase “new industry”for thisState, and’in discussing what it regards @s a pew departure the Observer ways: This is one of the many indigenous herbs which North Carolinaoanfur- mish to the medical profession,and it seems that this fact hag been but recently discovered.Here isanoth- er illustration of North Carolina's wonderful natural resources,and of the progress that is being made in éurning to commercial-advan re- sources heretofore little u and litéle known,Nodoubtthis ‘‘weed,’’ which grows so profusely in Samp- g@on county,can be found in many other parte of the State and its seed gathered and marketed to the pecu- niary advantage of the people. This industry is probably new in Sampson county but it-is a half century old in Statesville and west- era North Carolina.The Observer has temporarily overlookedthe fact that Statesville has long been dis- tinguished for the root and herb business,which was established here in 1859 by the late Isaac and David Wallace,and soextensive did the business become tbatas far back 261870it was established as aseparate business from their mercantile busi- mess and is yet so maintained,while other dealers have also engaged in the business here,there being two houses now.Allover western North “Oarolina local merchants buy roots, herbs,leaves,seeds,oto,,that have a merchantable value and ship them to Statesville dealors.These dealers bought last year 50,000 to 75,000 pounds of ‘‘Jerusalem oak seed,or worm seed,”for which they pay 3 cents the pound dry (the Sampson} folks only get 2 cents for theirs,ac- of Lords as some peopleinthiscoun- try had thought The attentionof the world was attracted.to there- cent struggle in Parliament,Lioyd- ©|George,the chancellor of the ex- ohequer,presented a budget—a bill levying taxes for the support of the government—which was radically different from former measures of the kind.In this budget beavy taxes were laid on wealth,and the wealthy classes,who had heretoforeescaped their share of the public burdens,as is the case in all countries,were deprived of certain exemptions which they had heretofore enjoyed. The measuré was,however,general- ly conceded to be an equitable one and it passed the Commons,where the party which supported it had a large majority.It failed in the House of Lords,however,notwitb- standing that body was threatened with the popular wrath,and final extermination,if the budget was re- jected. Then followed thecustomary courge in England—Parliament was dissolv- ed and an appeal made tothe people. After a short andexcitingcampaign ‘voting was begun and elections have been in progress for two weeks (they don’t elect all the mem- bers of Parliament in one day as we do members of Congress,but elec- tions are held on different days for several weeks),Judging by the public clamor,it had been expected that the party which had proposed to make the wealthy classes bear their share of the public burdens would’be given an overwhelming majority;that so decisive would be the result that the House of Lords would be shaken to its foundations. On the contrary,the returns show that the party bas been practically defeated,and if itretains control of the House of Commons and the govern- ment it can only do so through the aid of members of other parties who are in sympathy with some of its policies, Of course other things than the financial policy of the government figured in the elections,and the cording ‘0 the Observer),and the English people do not change readi-names of all the varieties of roots, herbs,bark,leaves and seeds they buy would fill more than a columnof Tae Lanpmark.Al!over western North Carolina the gathering of these roots and herbs is the main source of revenue to rural dwellers in many localities,and the business in the aggregate is one of considerable maagnitude. “This business,as has been said, originated in Statesville and no ly.They have been accustomed to certain things and they are slow to adopt new schemes;and while we wonder at the result of the election, it is probable that the Britishersare just as much astonished shat the American people endure certain ad- mitted evils and vote,in election after election,for the party responsi- ble for their perpetuation.

An unusual law suit has been in- stituted in Surry Superior Court. Mr.John Scott owns Jand adjoining boycott is aimed at whatis knownas the SulphurSpring property near Mt.Airy.Mr.Socott’s son-iu-law concluded thata well sunk on Mr. Scott’s land in the vicinity of the Salphur Spring would yield sulphur water.Recently he began to dig the well.The owner~of the spring fears that digging the well will put the spring out of commission or other means that can be taken to arouse the people on this question, will have served a good purpose, The great danger theatening the country ig that the peopie will en- dure and endure,while the burdens imposed by monopolies are made heavier and heavier,untila reaction will come that will not stopat peace- damage it,and he asked the courts for an injunction to restrain thedig- ging.A temporary injunction was granted and the judge whoboldsthe next term of Surry Superior Court will have to decide whether one can be restrained from digging a well on bis own land because his neighbor fears that it may injure bis spring. @ e ful-methods.This danger not only threatens but it grows more threat- ening daily.The orisis may not come for many years,but when it does come the innocent and theguil- ty will suffer alike. **.

Similar appeals from this manager of home mission work are made every few weeks in the Standard and in this last he intimated that he would like to publish the names of the de- linquent congregations —try the methods of the Bad Debt Agency on them,so to speak.This iscertainly a bad example to set before the world.One wonders sometimes why so few sermons on debt-paying are heard.The enormity of the wrong, the sin,of those whomakea practice of not paying their just debts,can hardly be magnified.Butthe reason that preachers are so often silent on this is not far to seek.A few of the preachers are careless in this re- spect;others are embarrassed by the fact that their congregations do not pay tbem and hence they are unable to meet their obligations,But the greatest reason is that shere are so many people in the average congre- gation—many of them prominent in the church and professedly very pious —who dorot pay their debts, that the average preacher hasn’tthe nerve to discuss it.Thus itis that debt-paying receives little attention from the churches in comparison with its importance becausesomany people prominent in the churchand, even the congregations,as hereinbe- fore pointed ot,are lax about their financial obligations.An excellent Statesville lady,now gone to her re- ward,made ita custom to measure every man by the promptnéss with which he met his financial obliga-tions.No matter how good one was said to be,if he didn’t pay his debts she had no confidence in him;andnomatterhowmuchofevilwasspokenagainstone,if he paid his de tsPromptlyshehadagoodwordfor him.Of courseone can pay his debts and atill beamighty bad man.Debt- paying alone is not a passport toheaven.Butone who fails and re-fuses to pay can’s be good,no matterwhatthepretensionsotherwise,That is a proposition that can’s besuccesfullycontroverted.: EEEFrankLorrace,a14-year-old negroboy,is in jail at Hendersonvillechargedwithsttemptingthename-less crime,the victim being a 10-year-old white girl. :recmepelyandtheTariffasaFaetér.

The 1907 crop reaches the enormous total of 104,479,200,000 pounds.This is the great cereal crop of the world and is the principal article of dietforthree-fourths of the human race.China,with a production of 50 to 60 million pounds,is not included intheabove,and several other smaller countries are not included. Of course there are many otber articles that take the place of bread,such as potatoes,the bread fruit, bananas,etc.,of tropical countries, feed for stock is becoming so impor- tant,these studies are confined tothecerealsalone. Whatever part acreage may have had to do with these crops in thepast,in the matter of the growth of production,from year to year,it will be conceded by all persons who havegiventhequestionseriousthought, that the larger crops that must be grown each year in order to meet the increased demands for food by the world’s growing population,must come from a higher average yield per acre rather than from an ever increasing acreage.The acreage of some of these crops has fallen off in the last five years,and the steady increase for the past half century has not been maintained in the last half decade.The crops have not main-tained the steady increase that should be expected.In fact,in most of them,there has been a falling off. The year 1904 seems to have beenthehigh-water mark in some,and 1906 in others.Seasonable condi- tions affect all crops very materially and these variations are due to some extent to these causes.

Taking note of some information farnished by this paper with refer- moe to Jerusalem oak seed,etc, the Charlotte Observer says that “every one well knows that States- ville bas long been distinguished for its root and herb business,’’and further: We knew that Statesville dealersdidatremendousbusinessinnative herbs,eic.,buying from loca)dealera and gatherers all over the piedmont and mountain sections and shippingtoothermarkets,but we were not aware that Jerusaiom oak was oneof the chief commodities in this species of traffic,or the fact had escapedour memory had we ever known it, It is possible that there may be a few other things in connection with thie business that may not be gener- ally known.A price-list of one of the dealers here shows 135 different warieties of roots,seeds,herbs, flowers,bark,etc.,that range in price from 1 cent to $6.25 thepound. For instance,the Observer and oth- ers may not know that walnut ker- nels and peach seed find ready sale. There was an active demand for the latter last year at $1 the bushel. Among the numerous other things are black willow buds,burdock roots and seeds,catnip leavesand flowers, shesnut leaves,corn silks.garden Settace leaves,ground ivy,horse nettle or bul!nettle root,hollyhook Rowers,Jamestown (Jimson)weed leaves and seeds,larkspur seeds, maullein leaves,oxeye daisy flowers, pumpkin seed,raspberry leaves, Fose petals,red clover flowers,gard- @m sage leaves,sassafras bark and Foot,slippery elm bark,tansy leaves, watermelon seed,white clover flow- ers,etc.,etc, How many people,for instance, know there is a market for water- melon and pumpkin seed and wal: mut kernels?Thisindustry,as has been ‘stated,originated in Statesville and there is probably nothinglikeit —oertainly not inextent—anywhere in the world.

At the time the duty was taken off hides there was a general feciing over the country that the price of sboes and otber merchandise manu faotured of leather would be corre- spondingly lower.However,there bas been a steady rise in the price of Jeather of all grades since March. The ressons for this must be look- ed for in the increased consumption of leather.Cassie are raised for food and not for the purpose of selling their bides.Demand for leather is constantly increasing,as the sboe in- dustry is growing rapidly aod map- ufacturers in other lines are creating aconstantly increasing demand for leather,Suggestive of this we note the Se ber sale of 40,000 dozen sheepskins by a Boston leasber mer OldCitizen of Hamptoavilie.TOST.eerie cars. af Teelendmerk.efermation ot matwhenabouta,"8.B.BROWN.

The total sale,it will be noted, amounted to nearly half a million LEO! skins.In she past three years the auto mobile business bas grown more rapidly than any other industry in this country or possibly in the world, and will probably sbow an increase of 300 per cent in three years. When one realizes that it requires three steer hides to upbolster each automobile,then we begin to under- stand why the demand for hides is greater than she supply. The style of hand ‘bags used by the ladies pow require some ten times the leather that was formerly used in this industry. Another increasing use of leather, to which little attention has been given,is ite usefor mail bags.There hasbeen 8 great increase in themail service the world over.Most mail bags are madeof leatber and canvas, with Jeather bottoms.Thecarriers’ bags are commonly of leather.The best grades of heavy leathers are used for the bags.A good bag will last ten years.The bags that are used on the trains,especially those that are thrown off fast trains,or are caught by the automatic device which stands beside the track,last less than two years. The population of the world is in- creasing more rapidly than the in- creased raisieg of castle.Japan, China and other countries,with their enornmious population.are wearing more shoes made of leather than ever before in their history. The civilization of the semi-civil- ized nations means an increased de- mand for leather shoes,and prosper- ity in a civilized country invariably means increased demands for all kinds of leather goods.; In the face of this immense de: mand for leatber there bas been no increase in the number of cattle slaughtered. Famous Libel Suit Case Kocked Out. New York Dispatch,26th, The indictment against the Press| Publishing Company,publishers of the New York World,charging Joseph Pulitzer and osbers witb crim- inal.libel against Theodore Roose velt,President Taft and others,was quasbed today in the United States District Court.Judge Hough ruled that the statute upon which the in- dictment rested was not sufficientin authority,or in other words,that the court had no jurisdiction. The decision of Judge Hough is of {nternational interest,the now fam- ous libel case having at ite inception involved former PresidentRoosevelt and his brother-in-law,Douglas Rob- inson,and President Taft and his brother,Charles P.Taft.The pub- lishing by the New York World and the Indianapolis News just before the close of the last campaign of an article in which it asserted that rela- tives of former President Roosevelt and President Taft were membersof a syndicate to purchase tbe stock of the French Panama Canal Company from the French stockholders when it was certain the United States would buy the stock,created a sen- sation.The American syndicate was said to bave made millions. President Roosevelt sent a special message to Congress on the matter and made public correspondence in which he characterized the publica- tion of the Panama story as false and asserted ‘that Delavan Smitb, one of the owners of the Indiapapolis News,wasa ‘conspicuous offender against the laws,bonesty and truth- fulness.’’Joseph Pulitzer,owner of the New York World,came in for a es scoring by President Roose- velt.The Federal proceedingsin Indian- apolis against Delavan Smith and Charles R.Williams,proprietors of the Indianapolis News,were thrown out of court,Judge Anderson declar- ing the,publishers should not be “dragged from their homes’’to Wash- ington to be tried.The decison of Judge Hough today is generally re- garded as aclosing chapter in the Panamé libel case. 67 Mortgages om OnePiece of Property.

The United States postoffice detec:tives made dilligent and careful search for the missing property of one of the government’s important court officials,and for the hardythiefwhowoulddarestealfromthe official who sends offenders agains the United States statutes to the penitentiary according to their de serts.No trace whateverwasfoundofthethief,but it was thoughs thas @ trace of the robe had been foundwhenafishermaninthePeeDee tiver in South Carolina reported having caught in a fish trap a verycurious’kind of a black garment}, looking like the motber hubbard ofa millionaire’s wife.Inquiry at shatpoint,however,satisfied the author- ities that this was not the judge's robe.Its being found in she fisb trap gave rise to the theory shat some one on tbe train which wasbringingtherobetoGreensboro from Statesville must have purloined the box and upon opening itand find- ing it some strange,costly big black garment,became rattied and cast it pell mel!into the Yadkin river thissideofSalisbury. Recent developments here go to confirm a suspicion that the packagereachedGreensboroandwasstolen at the railway station postofiice. About two months ago detectivescaughttwonegroesintheactof stealing a package from the stationrailwaymailoffice.Upon arresting them a search of their houses was made,resulting in discovering a}: wholesale system of theft for there was found over a thousand dollars worth of jewelry and other valuabie packages such as go through the mails,some of them being in the origina]mail packages.It has just come to light that a cardboard box, exactly similar to the one whichJudgeBoydusedtotransporthis robe in from court to court via the mails,was found in the house of one of the deferdants,and upon being asked if tbat was not Judge Boyd's robe case,he replied:‘‘I am not just now in position to state’.The boxbasbeenpositivelytdentifiedasa part of the one used by Judge Boyd. A still stronger circumstance it is said tends to strengthen the suspi- cion that the robe was stolen here sad is now being used in Greens- boro in the shape of a petticoat.Adetectivestatesthatlyingonthebed in this house he saw a fine silk orsatinpetticoatorsomethingofthe kind,but at tbat time,having noinformationastothelossoftherobe, it did hot occur to him thas this mightbea worked-over judicial robe. Judge Boyd is out of the city or there might be some further action taken in the matter,as he was very mvch outraged at the time of losing thecostly and handsomerobe.There were suggestions from a friend that some One swear Out a search warrant yesterday and search the bouse forthemade-over garment.It being Sunday it was gravely suggested thst the best thing to do would be to swear out a babeas corpus for theladyofthehouse,for of a Sunday |: she would probably be wearing the finery,making an ordinary search warrant of the house useless.But no legal action has yet been taken,this query as to whether it should be a search warrant or a habeas cor- pus,confusing the situation.‘ McRary &McRary,of Lexington,attorneys for creditors,filed an in- voluntary petition in bankruptcy to-day against the Eureka Trouser Com. pany Manufactory of Lexington.A subpoena to the company 0 appear here January 31st and show cause,if any it had,why bankruptoy should not beadjudgedagainstthecompany. ———————————————=== Republicans Hope For Recruits in the South.

However,if one is disposed todis- regard the doctor’s directions he migbt take the ‘‘sperits’’and leave the thymo!slone,but the doctor isa sustained by awthority when hesays the two won't gotogether.Dr,Pat- ton,of the Charlotte News,is inform- ed and believes that tbymol and oorn “‘likker’’will no more mix than ofl and water,that the two taken togeth- er will turn out afuneral every time; and a dootor friend of Taz Lanp- mark has given it a similar opinion. Thus is the hope of rapidly exter- minating the bookworm effaced. The committes on waysand meansis dismissed and the sufferers from the hookworm pest must suffer on.Of|sate course we take it that it is unneces- sary to explain that Taz Lanpmarxk had no purpose to make booze any morepopular thani¢!s,norto give the gentlemen whocall fora ‘‘scrip’’ three to four times a week a fresh exouse for calling oftener,notwith- standing intimations of certain evil- minded folks to the contrary.The sole purpose was to make popular a remedy guaranteed to exterminate the hookworm.Thymol alone will not appeal to the popular fancy,and with the beast of motives,having in mind the pellagra ‘prescription, Tar LanpMARK set about to make the bookworm prescription popular. It is not Toe LANDMARK'S fault that this laudable endeavor bas failed.It is the fault of Dr.Hammer,who has prescribed something that won’tmix with the popular remedy.If folks won't take his hookworm prescrip- tion he has himseif to blame.‘ P.8.Col.Julian,oftheSalisbury Post,is disposed to argue the mat- ter,insisting that Dr.Hammer should know that an important con- stituent of thymol is alooholand that there would benodifficulty in follow- {ng thymol with the popular chaser. Having pinned {ts faith to Dr.Ham mer’s:-prescriptions,however,TE LANDMARK is disposed to let Ol —— —— ———oo—E>~ matter go.If the folks suffer from hookworm because there is no pop- ular remedy to relieve them,their pains will be on Dr.Hammer. ee ‘Are Soith and Ieee oi ' about?The Tribune says the ques-situs toes adem pringame Seebeeattentionofmembers of and aroused their iptereat,mthe suation.TheDistrictofColumbie e¢tee,of the Houee is Q c‘ton ofthe C3 enstotlivingintheeityofbieanRepresentativeMartin,of §Da-arhas aitored a mg voted talesrtheappointmentspecial1commitsesof12chamberstomale«thorough national eethehighercostofNe io all ivariedphases.RepresentativeGaines,of Pennsylvania,introducedabillprovidingfortherepealofthepresentratesofdutyoncateleandallotheranimalsthatmaybeusedforfoodpurwhetberliveor dressed,and fc their admission in-tothecountry reo of duty,The Martin resolutionis sweepingincharacterandwouldgivetherro- posed investigating committee asextensivepowersasthatwhichhasbeenvestedbylawinthespecialcommitteeinvestigatingtheInteriorDepartment.Mr.Martin asks for the appointment of six Senators and the..Of.ixrepresentetives for ‘service on this committees,He proposes.that oe sit both during the sessians and the recess of Con- gress and baveauthority tosubpcena witnesses,compel the production ofbooksandpapersanddoeverything necessary to secure the facts in re- gard to the causes of the present high prices.and spread them before Congress for its information and asabasisforremediallegislation.The resolution provides for an {n-vestigation to ascertain whether prices of articles of food have in- creased.This could be found outas quickly byany housebold purchaserribningbishandintohistrousers pockets;butthe proposed investiga- tion would not stop at this,Thecommitiveisto.ascertain whethercommodisiesenteringintogeneralbouseboldconsumptionbavebeen increased in price through the op- eration of trusts or combinations inviolationoftheShermanlaw,also jos relation between the cost of liv- ing and wages and incomes,andwhethertberelationshipnowexist. ing between wages and the cost oflivingisreasonable.FOR SALE.<o°5 eamsezmerecente,ScbaviaOR. jan.28,DR.W.H,WAKEFIELD, willbe at StatesvilleatThe*10th, Until F urther Notice:.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS. When you want information about birds,says the Charlotte Chronicle boastiully to the Wilmington Star, come to the fount of knowledge—the Ghronicle.Didn't say a word about being a ‘fount of knowledge”as to foxes ‘and their habits.The Cbron- fole has become strangely silent on the fox question. ‘®#e Sensor Heyburn,of Idaho,is “fernent’’newspaper folks aod some time ago be delivered an address in the Senate advocating abolishment of the press gallery and denouncing the correspondents for their friyo- Jjous handling of momentous events. 'Je is now.expected thatSenator Per- kins,of California,will join Senator Heyburn in advocating the abolition of thé press gallery,and for cause. It is related that Senator Perkins slipped on an icy pavement recently and bruised his spine.When the mews reached the California news- paper correspondents one of them became very much excited.‘“‘Oh, it’s a trivial injury,”one of his col- .langues expostulated.‘‘Trivial in- jury!"snorted the perturbed one. ___“My paper.will wantto get out an ~~extea.Just think how he’s hurt. Why,his backbone’s injured.Do you hear that?And out our way they néVer knew be badabackbone.” Senator Perkins has just cause for grievance.3;geting ~fur Lanpmarx is pleased to note that Squire Dave Barkley,long-a noted citizen of the township of Da- widson,county of Iredell and State aforesaid,stil]retains the knowledge be acquired while a resident of this good county,notwithstanding he has for some years sojourned in Char- Jotte;and this paper is beholden to him for imparting some information ag#0 the habits of foxes to some of the Charlotte folks who are,to use the language of the Alexander coun-‘ty man,“vastly ignorant’on the sabject.‘Squire Dave knows by ac- tual experience that a fox can climb @ tree,for he tells of one,that took refuge in a tree while Dr,J.J.Mott, "Squire Barkley and others whorode tthe hounds in the long ago,were following a pack in full ory.Tu Lanpmazx has no disposition to pileiton,but it bas to thank the Reids- ville Review for coming to its aid. * Sheriff Pinnix and Major Bethel, moted fox hunters,‘‘ohasedagrey up @ sapling.”’But what’s the use? That a grey fox can olimb a tree is a matter of such common knowledge that it admits of no dispute among folks who know anything of foxes. ¢a“ ‘TheSalisbury Post thusgives joy- ful greeting to.a friendof other days: An old friend of the days whenfasionwasinthesaddleshowsupconenueeeieinewireofFridaytotheNewsandObserver,says:**A.C.Shuford,of Newton,whowasthePopulistmemberofCongressbackinthenineties,was heretoday,and visited the floor of theHouse."’And where inthe world has Pa-trios Shuford been these many moons?The old seventh,which he proposedtosavefromwantinthefleshanditioninthespirit,has missedim,bas missed him sorely of late.The pee-pul have had sore need ofhimintheirbattloagainsttheootopi,the meat trust in particular,and yethisvoiogbasnotbeenbeardorying@uteitherfromthewildernessorthemetropolis,declaring the way topreservation.What,we inquireagain,has Patriot Shuford been do-ing ia these piping days of commer-,Slalism when the Moses become plu-tocrate between the bate uf an eye?Ia 10 possible that the HonorableAlonsoCzereetushasjoinedtheranksof.the plutes?We bide the day of_Response to the query in agonizing seepense.‘,fem Lawpmaax hes pleasure in |teafermiogthePostthatPatriotShu- See soitidl of the Porners’ aion and when in Washington was on bis way home from a visit to the West in the interest of the order. e 7*” Ata school festival in the vicinity of Fiorénce,8.C.,a few days ago, two young men fell out over the price of a cake sold at auctionandone stabbed the otherto death.While they called this event a school feati- val it is evident that it was what is called a ‘‘box supper’in Iredell.Readers of Taz LanpMaR«will have noticed,that ‘‘box suppers’’have become very popular in certain sec- tions of this county within the past few years.Where this form ofenter- tainment originated we don’t know, but in this partof theState ‘box suppers’seem to be most popular in Iredell,Wilkes and probably a few other counties.We haye some- times wondered if the general pub- lic knew what was meant by ‘box supper.’’While Tue LANDMARK never:saw one it knows what they are.The ladies of a neighborhood prepare lunches,put them in clos- ed boxes and they are taken tc the place of gathering,usually a school house.Then the lunch boxes are sold at auction,to the highest bid- der,and the purchaser sbares the luach with the lady whoprepared it. Of course the lunches are usually prepared by,or at least go in the name of,the young |dies,and the majority of the purchasers are young men.I¢can casily be imagined that the bidding is sometim.s spirited, for the young men who have favor- ites among the girls will each try to buy the lunch bis girl prepared,and often more than one fellow admires the same girl. been sald,are furnished by the ladies and the proceeds of the sale, clear gain,are applied to some worthyobject,usually something for the school house or the church as the case may be.Itis really an at- tractive form of entertainment and the name doesn’t do it justice. Wouldn't lunch party sound better? &e The Charlotte Chronicle twits Ire- dell for being in the list of pauper counties by asking aidfor itaschools from the Stase,and Tur LanpMARK admits thatthecriticism is just.But {tis probable that Iredell and many other counties who obtain aid fromthisfund—as is intimated in another article in this paper—arebutfollow- ing the teachings of the Chronicle with referense to the Federal govern- ment.The Chronicle contends and teaches persistently that the South ought to get all the money it can out of the Federg!Treasury,andasoften as itcan.That the matter of Feder- al appropriations is a sort of grab game and that weshbouid grab forour share all the time —as we get little enough in any event—without being too scrupulous as tothe meritsof our claims or the justice of asking the Federal Treasury for aid.‘There is some force in theargument,although it will not stand a close inspection, considered from ‘the standpoint of justice and right;and the moral ef- fect of such teaching,and thelogical result of such practices,maywell be questioned.But thatsortof doctrine has been taught so often and so per- sistently’that we have,no doubt there are many counties in North Carolina,abundantly able to take care of themselves,who feel that if any money is being passed out of the State Treasury they ought to have their share of it,whether or not they need it;that the matter of appropriations {s much of a grab game anyway,and that it is perfect- ly legitimate to get as much as pos- sible without being scrupulous as to the justice of the matter.These things are not said as a defence for Iredell—acounty abundantly able to take care of itself—but they arecited to show the Chronicle that what it may regard as perfectly proper teaching in one case may not have its approbation when applied in an- other case,although there is no dif- ference in the prinoiple. *** Just as we feared.Iredell is stillinthelistofpaupercounties.TheStatesvilleLanpmarktellsusthatit is this year bolding out its hat forthesumof$1,800 from the SiateTreasury,bud is not sure that It illgetthatmuch.If there is any coun-sy jn the State that ought to be pus On ite own resources,it would seemtousthatsuchcountyshouldbeIredel!.—Charlotte Chronicle.

A SHREWD MOVE. It has been expected ever since natorial nomination two years ago, that Gov.Kitchin would contest with Senator Simmons when the latter seeks a re-election to the Senate in the campaign of 1912,As time passes The lunches,as has|it is more and more apparent that Senator Simmons will have the fight of his life to return to the Senate. Seeing this,his friends are trying to involve the friends of Senator Overman in the fight for Simmons, as witness the following from the Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer: North Carolinians who tarry inWashingtonarebeginningtodiscuss seriously the promised conflict overSenatorSimmons’seat inCongress.Amajorityofthoseconversantwithcon-ditions in the State believe now thasMr.Simmons will be re-elected.But,one and all agree to this proposi- tion:That in the event that Mr.Simmons is defeated at the close of bissecondtermSenatorOvermanwillstandnoshowofre-election at theendofhispresentterm.Thereforetheresultofshefirstfigh’will fore-shadow that of the seco d. From this it is argued that the cause of Simmons is the cause of Overman,‘but the Salisbury Post doesn’t see is that way.It says: Having earnestly supported bothSenatorsSimmonsandOvermarduringthecampaignspreceding their election to a first and secondterm,we fee!no delicacy in inquir-iag why the political fortune of oneinvolvesthasoftheother.Senator Overman displayed no activity intheSimmons-Carr campaign nor did he attemp?to influence legislators orcultivateoutsidesentimentwhenaneffortwasmadein1907tocreateastampede.for former GovernorAycock.Neither did Senator Sim-mons exert a particle of influence before and during the memorab'e contest that resulted in SenatorOverman’s nomination and election.The personal relations of the twoSenatorshavealwaysbeenexceed-ingly cordial but their views uponmomentouspublicquestionshavefrequentlybeenatvariance,as witness their votes on many of the tariftschedulesandtheirattitudetowardstheshipsubsidymeasurenowpend. ing.Senator Simmons has many influ- entiel friends who did not supportSenatorOver:an’s pandidacy in 1904,while Serator Overman hasloyal anddevotedchampionswhodonotwarm to Senator Simmons.WetakeitthasneitheroftheSenatorswilldepars from his first policy with referencetotheirrespectivecampaignsandthisandtheotherfactssetforthbeing true we are ata loss to understandwhythesuccessorfailureoftheonesbouldimplysuccessorfailurefortheother. The Post states the case correctly. If it be purely a question of rotation in office,the defeasof Simmons would forecas}the defeat of Overman.It may mean that in any event.But the cases should be passed on their merits,without analliasce,offansive or defensive.The attemps to force this issue is a shrewd move,but we hardly think it will work.

Following a day of intenae fection- al feeling,of charge and counter-charge,and culminating inaperson- al encounter and the drawing of a weapon,the legislativecaucns fail.d again to clarify the situation with regard to the contest for senatorial honors.The customary two ballots were taken,the standing of the sev- eral contestants for the nomination as the successor of the late Senator A.J.McLaurin was not materially changed,and tho caucus adjourned #6 meet again tom rrow afternoon. ‘During the day copies of a paper,im which is was charged the’liquor was kept at the headquarter»of Le- roy Percy,of Greenville,one of the candidates,for the purpose of influ- encing votes in the caucus,and thatRépresentativeCannon,of Green-ville,was active in dispensing the liquor,were freely circulated.Be-fore the caucus session Cannon and B.T.Hobbs,theeditor of the paper, met in the lobby of a local hotel.

A news item in Tos LANDMARK today says the Navy Department hes ordered Commander Peary to eeturn to duty,being unable to longer find an excuse to extend his feave of absence,and that the de- partment is embarrassed to find an easignment befitting his dignity. 1s was hoped,we are further in- formed,that Congress would give Peary a vote of thanks for discover- ing the North Pole and make him a rear admiral as a sort of reward for the discovery,but Congress has shown no disposition to take action. “There is peculiar pathos,’saysa _@ispatoh from Washington,“in the situation which finds a man,after 23 years of almost continuous leave of abeence spent in bringing to his eountry the glory and distinction toward which centuries of effort have been directed from every quarter of the globe,when success has been attained,to go without an expres- elon of gratitude from his country end to again enter its service in a 'position the dignity'of which is not4aKeepingwiththeprestigeofhis fermer achievements.’’ And for this situation Peary and fais friends are to blame.The fact @hat Dr.Cook is evidently a faker hes helped Peary but little.The Satter alienated public sympathy by his attitude toward Cook,and not- ___withstandingOook hasbeen discred- (ied,public favor has not turned to Peary.The genera!attitude is one @f indifference,if not of distrust. Geok was a faker,maybe Peary is, too,is the genera!feeling.“Not con- tent to wait patiently and in proper spirit for the vindication which would soon have been his;Peary ‘was so unreasonably intolerant of~‘Geok’s claims,and his friends went wo far out of the way to discredit Gook,that while Peary may wear the honor of discovering the North Pole,the honor is given him grudg- fugly,balf doubsfully,and the glory of his achievement js marred. The public is not tolerant.of {1) temper,of a dog-in‘the-manger atti- tude in public men,and no matter how great the achievement,he who would be a popular hero should bear in mind that it is a large part of his business to be agreeable and toler- ant.Moses was the meekest man, bat it is told in Holy Writ that he Jost his temper op one occasion and spoke impatiently,and notwithstand- ing bis great career he suffered for When the Israelites murmured because there was no -water,God told Moses to speak to ofit.But,impatient at the mur- wurings of his people,or seized with @ fit of egotism and moved with ade- sire to “show off’before the people, Moses said:‘‘Hear now,ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this .vook?’’and then,aftertaking proper eredit to himself,he smote the rock with his rod instead of speaking to it as hewas commanded.The water came but for thatactof disobedience Moses was not allowed the crowning qiory of leading Israe!intothe Prom- fwed Lard.Thus was the glory of a qreat career marred by one act and @ great wan,a civil and military leader of renown,was turned aside to die in solitude. Peary is far from being a Moses; but folks who think their achieve- mente will permit them to do and say what they please,would do well to fake a lesson from this incident in Moses’career. It is proper to say that there is a strong feeling—which ToELaANpMARK sharee—that the adjournment of Su- perior Court yesterday was not war- ranted by the facts,so far as the emallpox situationisconcerned.Up #o this time five cases of smallpox bave been reported in the county— two in the extreme southern end of ~the county,two in a remote section 4a north Iredell and one in the sub- werbs of Statesville.While there is geome danger of the spread of the in- commitiesoftheHouseofCongress is to inquird into the cost of living in the United States.The:resolu- tion providing for the inquiry was introduced in the House Tuesday by Chairman Payne,of the committee, the Republican leader of the House. The committee is authorized to in- quire into any alleged increase in the cost of the necessities of life, some of which,suchasclothing,fuel,furniture,meats and foodstuffs,are enumerated.Wholesale and retail prices and rates of profitfare to be investigated.The questionof wheth- er the tariff is responsible for the. alleged high cost of living is covered in a general provision as to ‘‘wheth- er prices are affected,increased or otherwise,by any laws of the United States.’’The hearings of the com- mittee will be open to the public. States and summon and swear wit- nesses,The Republican leaders in Congress are evidently uneasy as to the possible effect of the increased cost of living on the fortunes of the party.Itis said the investigation is favored by the President and the Republican leaders.By it they hope to show,of course,that the tariff has not increased the cost of living. Again there is a threatened clash between Federal and State courts in Georgia,growing out of the enforoe- ment of the prohibition law.The State courts are trying toforce a storekeeper at a distillery to tell what goes on at the distillery and the Federal courts are.dis to protect him in his refusalto talk. What interests THe LanpMARK is the fact that a distillery is in opera- tion in the prohibition State of Geor- gia.Ifthe State law does not per- mit State officers t>enter the estab- lishment and see for themselves what is going on,then the law needs amendment.It is a fact,however, that some of the regulations of the Federal government encourage vio- lations of probibitionlaw.The gov- ernment should not,for instance,is- sue liquor license in prohibition ter- ritory. The fact that court has adjourned on account of the smallpox will,we fear,be taken to mean that the dis- ease.is epidemic in Statesvilleand it will be hard to disabuse the public mind of that idea.But the facts about the smallpox are just as THE LANDMARK states them and as this paper has always printed the facts about these matters,and will con- tinue to do so,we trust the public will accept the assurance that there is no danger from smallpox in States- ville at present.Tux LANDMARK will state the exact facts about the disease and its report can be relied on. Thegrand juryof the present term of Iredell Superior Court deserves the thanks of the bumane and intelli- ~#he rock and water would come out}gent citizenship of the county for the recommendation with respect to the county home.The present county home is a disgrace to the county,as Tue LanpMARK has for years insiss- ed,and the condition cannot be rem- edied until a new home is built.A new court house and a new jail have been built.The suffering poor have suffered on and will suffer until something is done for them. SE Sunday nightin a sermon urging frugality a Richmond preacher citedthecaseofamanwhobadmortgag- ed his home to bev an automobile. ‘“‘Now,’’says the Greensboro Tele:gram,‘if the man had mortgaged his automobile to buy a home,it wouldn’t have been half so bad.’’What we would like to kno@ is how such a man ever became owner of a home to mortgage for any purpose.—Charlotte Observer. Doubtless he ‘‘heired’”’it.Is is hardly to be supposed that a man of that caliber could earn enough to thy a home. Peabody College 4 Teachers at Nash- ville. Washington Dispatch,Jan.31.

Io 1857 Major Clegg moved fromChatbamtoIredellandlocatedat Olin,where his uncle,Rsv.Baxter Clegg,a Methodist minister and teabher,was engaged:in teaching.During the war Major Clegg saw sefvice in the Home Guard and wasappointedmajorintheregimentof which the late S,A.Sharpe wascolo- nel.In 1876 he was elected county treasurer,succeeding the late Chas.A.Cariton.Prior to that,time hehadbeencountysurveyor.Heserv- ed 12 years as treasurer,being suc- oeeded by Mr.John C.Turner in 1888,After that he was at times county surveyor and coroner andwasalsopublicadministrator.In one capacity or another be was apublioofficerinIredellfor25years or more.He was alsoforalong time jury commissioner of the Federal Court and twice each year assisted Col.H.O.Cowles,the clerk,indrawingthejury.During all the years that be held office Major Clegg continued his work as surveyor,as opportunity offered.He wasan old-time sporteman,fond offishing and hunting,was agood shot,and follow- ed these sports in a moderate way until recent years. Major Clegg had surveyed land all over the county,knew more about the metes and bounds and Jand lines in the county than anybody,and probable knew more people in the county than anybody.And about everybody that he knew was his friend.He was popular because hewasfriendlyandagreeabie.He was aquiet,genial,kind-hearted man;he was,as Oneof the ministers wall said of him at his funeral service,‘a con- ciliator.”’His attitude was always conciliatory,and while engaged in a business that is most prolific of dis turoances—determining !and lines— nobody ever heard of Major Clegg belog involved in adisturbance,and how many people he kept ous of dis-turbances by his methods of concilia- tion,will probably never be known. While his record asa citizen,in publio and private capacity,was without reproach,Major Clegg wasps also a Christian—a Christian with- out ostentation bud onecertainof bis ground.Uaiting with the Methodist Church in early youth,he was until the jast an active membér of his de- nomination:From early youth he was a teacher and an officer in theSundayschoolandwasforprobably 50 years @ steward.For monthspriortobisdeathbebadanticipated: the end,but he was unafraid and confident?as to the future.Major Clegg was three times mar- ried—first in 1848 to Miss E.M.

Now bere comes the Hickory Dem- _gorat trying to.muddy the waters: The Concord Tribune and the Statesville LANDMARK are losing sleep over this proposition: **Jones and Smith marry sisters.

Sometimes those who make public appeals to the Throne of Grace halt and stammer for words with which to protract their petttions,Inas- much as tho Father knows the things we have need of before we ask Him, the weight of the argument would seem fo favor the Presbyterian’s contention thata simple,brief form ot prayer is proper for public ooca- sions.e & Tbe Greensboro Telegram pub- lishes once s month—as is required by law —the names of the doctors who bave written prescriptions for Mqoor the preceding month and the gumber of prescriptions written by eaoh doctor during the month.The fast statement shows that 859 pre- seriptions for the ardent were writ- by Greensboro and Guilford county doctors during the month of January,an increase of 176 over De- cember and nearly double the num- ber for November,which was 435. The total smount of liquor presorib- ed was 1,008 pints,126 gallons,as against 68 gallons for December, from which it will be seen that the consumption of spirits was nearly doubled in January.The largest amount prescribed by any one doc- tor was 103 pints,an average of more than three;pints a day during the mon}h,this being divided among 68 prescriptions,which shows that many of the prescriptions were quarts,The next largest amount prescribed by any one doctor was 813 pints divided among 57 prescrip- tions.These facts are stated simply to call attent'on to the farce made of the probibition law where liquor is sold through the drug stores.The abuse of this privilege is greater in some towns than in others,but it is always abused more or less.We hardly think that anybody —pbysi- cian or laymen—will seriously con- tend that the 126 gallons of liquor mentioned was really necessary as& medicine.We have no doubt that six gallons would bave been ample for strictly medicinal purposes,and in making this statement we are guided by the experience and ob- servation of reputable physicians, men who are as capable of giving an opinion,on the subject as any doctor in the State. *** Some people and some newspapers seem to think that a secular paper bas no right to comment on matters pertaining toany particular religiquse denomination,and tbat things in other lines are beyond ita province. There are times when comment about certain things is not proper, but each editor must be guided by bis own judgment.For itself Tux LANDMARK feels that it has theright to express iteelf about mattersofhu- man interest whenever it feels mov- ed so to do (trying always to keep within proper bounds),and wheh it isn’t moved to speak it keeps silent. With this explanation we are re- marking orf a statement which ap- peared in the Jast issue of Our Fath- erless Ones,the paper of the Pres- byterian Orphans’Home at Barium, and published in the last issue of Tur LaNpMARK,which was to the the effect that 150 Presbyterian cburches (congregations)in North Carolina made so contribution what- ever to the support of the Orpbans’ Home last year.That is a startling statement and certainly one that is not creditable to the Presbyterians. Yet we have no doubt that every one of these churches made contri- butions to foreign missions,for the Presbyterians are strong on foreign missions and they ‘‘point with pride” (most of them)on all occasions to their large contributions for the work in the foreign field.-The Pres- byterians give a much larger amount per capita to foreign missions than any of the denominations ‘in the State,and whenever any Baptist,or Methodist,mentions the growth and progress of his denomination,forth- with the Presbyterian tries to make bim feel small by mentioning the per capita contributions to foreign mis- sions;and if anybody casually re- marks that in many rural communi- ties,where Presbyterians formerly held sway,their strength has de- creased and some of their churches about perished of dry rot,whileother denominations have bad to go inand do the work they have neglected,up comes tbe per capita contribution to foreign missions;and we have no doubt this per capita,which is ade- fence on all occasions,will be clted as an excuse for the 150 churches who have failed tohelpsupport their orphanage.While contributions to foreiga missions,and liberal contri- butions,too,are right and proper, one line can be stressed to the hurt of others almost as important,if not equally so,and thus affairs become lopsided.While Tux Lanpmark has no concern about the growth of any particular denomination,it feels that the care of and training of orpban children is a matter of public concern, even when it is undertaken by a re- ligious denomination,and is a work that all psopie should encourage and applaud,no matter under whose auspices the children are trained,if tbe trainirg is moral and religious, Therefore it feels moved to say that per capita contributions to foreign missions $s a mighty poor excuse for neglect of the children.Zeal in any good cause is to be commended, but when is goes to the extent of neglecting one’s family,fatliag to provide for the children,leaving the} home,likeMrs.Jellyby,to go tode- struction while all effort and means areconcentratedonanoutsidesource, {t can bardly be defended;and if that sort of thing iskeptup,by she foreigner,orsomebody,will bave to step in and take careof the neglected ones at home.©In closing we may be permittedto express the further opinion .shat..if the 150 oburches who give nothingtotheir orpbanage had the cause presented to them with the zeal and the spirit that the foreign mission cause is presented,they would contribute tp the orphans;and if the cause of the orphans was presented to all the churches in some measure propor- tionate to its merits,the contribu- tions would be ao increased that the support fund of the Home would not be constantly running bebind and the management would not be dis- turbed,as it has been in times past, to know where the next mea!was coming from._——on ITEMS OF ALL SORTS, Leaving behind him two ratber rambling aad incoherent letters, Elijab Baba Badal,Persian,31 years old,a.student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine,Balti- more,Thursday shot and instantly killed Miss Marie Lewsen,24 years dentigtry at the same institution,and then shot himself,dying shortly af- with the girl and apparently shedid not return his affection. Secretary of the Interior Ballingerwascriticisedonthefloorofthe Senate Thursday for sending a com-munication tothe Senate inclosing a bill providing for an insane asylum ‘n Alaska.Although Mr.Ballinger said he transmitted the measure inobediencetothedirectionofthe President,Senators Heyburn and Bacon succeeded in obtaining an- nullment of reference of the bill tothecommittee-on Territories-on the ground that neither a cabinetofficer, nor the President himself,bad au- thority to introduce a bill in the Senate. As the result of an explosion.of a vat of lime at the shops of the Sea- board Air Line railway in Ports-mouth,Va.,Thursday George Carst- ing and S.J.Pelzager are in the hospital and will lose their eyesight if not their lives.The workmen were in the act of pouring a tub of water in the vat of lime to make a caloimine by a new process not be- fore tried at the shops,when the explosion occurred.They wereknookedupwardandbackwardfor nearly 20 fees and were so bespat- tered with lime that when they were picked up they were unrecognizabie as human beings. Glavis Makes Good in the Ballinger-Pin- chot Investigation. Washington Dispatch,8d,to Raleigh News and Observer. Everybody who comes to Washing- ton these days asks about the Bal- first place they make for is the big marble office building of the Senate, where the hearings are in progress. In point of popular interest the in-vestigation is overshadowing the ses- sions of Congress.Those who haveattendedthehearingshavebeenam ply repaidfortheirtrouble.Thenot over-large assembly room in which the committee sits is crowded all the time.Around a long tableare assem- bled the 11 membersof the committee, and up above them on an improvised platform is the central figure of the investigation,Louis R.Glavis,theformerspecialagentoftheLandOtf- fice,who brought aboutall the trouble in an bonesteffort tocheck the opera- tions of .would-be land-grabbers. This young man,whois just27 years of age,bas come out of the ordeal with flying colors.Time and again he bas floored members of the com- mittee who have endeavored to put him in a hole by asking embarrass- ingquestions.Heseemsabletoturn every hostile query to theadvantage of the cause be répresents.Elihu Root,regarded by many as theabiest lawyer in the nation,and other mem-bers of the committee who have gone after the witness in whatis regardcd as an unfriendly spirit,have comeoutsecondbest.No member of thecommitteehassofarmeasuredupto Glavis,who bas continued by his an- swers to put the Secretary of the In-terior in a bole.It is the opinion ofthenewspapermenwhoarefollow- ing the investigation that Glavis is the smartest and most intelligent man for his years who has bobbed up in Wasbington for a long while.

To all of which we have to say that in these piping days mankind generally,the farmers included,are more than ever disposed to look af: ter self-interest.The farmer is a eonsumer as well as a producer and his financial salvation may not de- pend on what he gets for his farm products,but he is very much ofthe opinion that it does.It is just as well toremember,in this connection, that while the last Democratic ad- ministration was not responsible for tow prices,it was held responsiblé for them,and as a reaultevery Dem. _asratic member of Congress in North Carolina save one was sweptout of Office,and the Republicans in the mation were given such an uplift that the Democrats have been in a minority ever since. The greatest obstacle the Demo orats have had to fight in the rural districts is theoft-ropeated assertion of the Republicans that the rise in the price of farm products is due to a Republican administration,and the Jow prices during the Cleveland era are cited.Ifthe Telegramthinksit would be popular in the rural dig- tricts to argue that the priceof eggs, batter,poultry,bacon,corn,wheat, wte.,should be decreased,then it has another thought coming to it. Stokes county has recently enjoy- 24 (7)an epidemic of smallpox and the Danbury Reporter is moved to re- mark: Ignorance and_prejudice alwayscomehigh.Thereign of smallpoxinwillcostthepeoplemany thousands of dollars.which could easily bave been saved by firstadopt- ing the remedy tbat in the end had tobeenforced.' When the disease first appeared in Stokes county no attention was paid to it.There was no quarantine and me vaccination.Because it didn’t kill people by the dozen,the wise- acres (found in every community) who never saw a case of smallpox in their lives and wouldn’st know one if they saw it,who bad heard that their grandfather,or Bill Jones’grand- father,had it durin’ttéwardad-wis mighty bad cff,proceeded to diag- mose the disease and,deciding that {t couldn't be smallpox,notonly per- anitted it to run riot but took pains to pass it around.As a result the disease spread like wildfire in Stokes and when the situation be- ©ame 20 serious that action was im- perative,the cost of medical inspec. tion and atteation,etc.,smounted to many thousands of dollars,not to count the cost of loss to individuals by illness and the paralysis of busi- wees.While there are only a few eases of smallpox in Iredell,an epi- @emic would result vaoless precau- tions were taken;and to guard their OWN as well as the public health,all q@ood citizens should observe the re- quirements of ‘the health laws and aid in their enforcement. tin.Sesing-that Dr.Hammer js out of the State temporarily,the Salisbury Post wants to know if onecan’texer- eise his own discretion as to the hookworm remedy.Tae Lanvwanx herewith issues a permit for every __jalileted ove to use the remedy thatengoodtohim.Willthat sat-;: be Sind lety Ool.Julien? We're about down to coe case of smallpox in Iredell.And for this court was adjourned last week. The outbreak of smallpox at the "]Baptist orphanage at Thomasville is @ matter for sincere regret.I?is 1.00]greatly to be hoped that the epidem-lic can be stayed before it takes in the whole institution. The New Berne Sun deposes and says that the ground bog saw bis shadow last year—or could have seen it,for the 2d of Februarywas fair— and there was ‘‘no cold weather in the six weeks that followed.’’The ground hog sign,like all weather forecasts,sometimes falls down. Evidently the Ballinger -Pinchot investigation is not progressing to suit Ballinger’s friends,.Last week it was adjourned until the 11th to permit counsel employed to repre- sent Ballinger to become familiar with the case.At the beginning Ballinger said he did not need coun- sel.The testimony of Glavie has disturbed administration circles, Hon.W.OC.Lovering,amembe: Congress from Massachusettes,in Washington Friday.He was 75 old and was serving his seventhConsecutivetermasamemberofthe House..He suffered a breakdown last summer and had been able toat- tend but few sessionsof the House since.About two weeks ago he left his'sickbedtogo tothe White House in odmpany with Representative Scott,of Kansas,and others,tourge upon the President the necessity of legislation to prevent gembling in futures,in which he was deeply in- terested. Speaking in the Senate Friday, Mr.McCumber,of North Dakota, undertook to demonstrate that the farmers are not receivinga fair share of the high prices which focd pro- ducts are now commanding.Con- trasting the prices received by the farmer with those paid by the con- sumer,Mr.McCumber said thata 4-year-old steer,which would bring $70 in North Dakota,would sell for $2,500 when retailed at Senate res- taurant steak prices.This would indicate that the price of steak in the Senate restaurant is pretty steep.‘ The Statesville pastors are to be congratulated on the position they have taken with reference to inter- ments at the cemetery.It will be noted from the proceedings of the board of aldermen that hereafter it will not be necessary for pall-bearers to fill the grave nor for the company to wait until the graveisfilled.This old-style custom,necessary in the country,is neither necessary nor proper in towns and cities.Tochange the custom it was incumbenton some- body to act.It is proper that the pastors do this and Tue LANDMARK believes their action will receive the practically unanimous endorsement of the community. (71 is announced that the State His- torical Commission has arranged to have made a life-size bust statue of Gen.Matt.W.Ransom,the statue to be placed in one of the niches of the rotunda of the State capitol at Ral- cigh.The statue will cost $1,500 and $1,000 of the amount is in hand. The bust is to be made in Italy and the unveiling is to take placeduring the next session of the Legislature. It is gratifying to know that Gen. Ransom's!memory is to be honored.

As to the origio ofsmallpox ia the orphanage,it is stated by authority that cannos be doubted,that several.Bryant children,whose mother lives in Thomasville,were pernitted tovisittheiemotherduringChrisimas holidays and spend several days running around the neighboringchildren.It happened that they came in contact with acousin,Irving Bryant,who had been away from home for a year or two,but bad re turned to his father,bringing with him in his system thegermsofsma!!| pox,which began to break out very soon thereafter.Certainly nothing of this was known bv the orphanage mangers when the Bryant children came back to the orphanage from their visis in town, Teo Hungarians and one American were killed Saturday by anexplosionintheNo.2 slope of the Ernestmine | of the Jeffarson and Clearfield CoalCompany,five miles northof Indiana, Ps The expioston occurred in a heading where 12 workmen were |o- cated and on@#of thes:,Andrew Krezoer,escaped hy craw'tng aquar ter of a mile on his st)mach toevade the noxious gases, TOOK ALL HIS MONEY, Oftenalla man earnsgoes to doctorsor f.-ices.to eureaStomach,Liveror Kidney troubiethatDr.King’s NewLifePillswould qoiekly cureatslightBestforindigestionPerens,Conyac Tacodien mares and a fireproof annex,put new plumbing|. the Chest Ask your doctor the medical name for a cold on the chest.

The Weather Bureau,which has become so important a factor of the government,particularly to the ag- ricultural interests,was established as recently as February 1,1870,byorderofanactofCongress.For msoy years previous to’that date more or lesg was accomplished alongthisline,which was found so useful and led up totheactionsofCongress. It was as late as July 1,1891,thatthebureauwasreorganizedundertheDepartmentofAgriculture. Kut the system of observation by voluntary and unpaid observers goesbacktotheyear1849,when the secretaryoftheSmithsonianInstitu- tion began to organize its corps of observers;indeed,one may go back to the year 1817,when Josiah Meigs issued his meteorological instruc.tions to the United States Land Office, and 1818,when Dr.Lovell,surgeongeneraloftheUnitedStatesarmy, isaued similar instructions to bisofficia's. In 1842 Prof.Espy began the prep- aration of daily weather maps,and in 1854 Prof.Henry began the prep-aration for the daily display of weather maps based on telegramsfrumallpartsofshecountry.VeentheWeatherBureauwasestablished in February,1870,it was transferredtoWashingtonfromCincinnati, where previous observations hadbeencarriedon, The Weather Bureau engages thewholetimeofabout600paidem vloyses,located at about 180 stations.It receives reports of temperature from several hundred special observersandfrom2.500 voluntaryobservers;also about 20,000 special reports on the condition of the grow- ing crops from a meteorological point of view, The bureaurecei ves dally two sets of weather telegrams,at 8 a.m.and8p.m.,on whioh are based themorningandeveningweathercharts and the forecasts for the next 46hours.These forecasts are imme.diately telegraphed to all concernedthroughoutthecountryandtoves-sels about to sail in any directionovertheadjacentoceans.

AIDED A PRISONER TO ESCAPE? Quincy Fletcher,of Wilkes,Charged With ring His Brother's Escape From the Chain Gang. Mr.Quinoy Fletcher,a respected citizen of Wilkes county,was given a preliminary bearing before Justice King yesterday afternoon on acharge of aiding a prisoner tw escape from Ger a $500 bond for his appearance at Superior Court.He gave bond promptly.The hearing consumed neitly three bours.Fletcher was represented by Mr.W.W.Barber,of Wilkesboro,and Mayor H.P.Grier conductad the prosecution for the county in the absence of the county attorney. The prisoner whom Fletcher isal- leged to have aided in making his escape was his brother,Mar- shali Fietcber,who was sent to the Iredell gang from Wilkes last summer to serve a four-year term for violation of the liquor laws,but escaped from the gang in November and has since been at large. According to the story of Hay- wood Alexander,a colored convict who was 4 trusty at that HOIST BY HIS OWN PETAR) Colored Citizen Complained of the Con- duct of His Visitors and They Charged Him With Selling Liquor. Saturday afternoon a number of young negro bucks gathered at the home of one Lynn Craton,near the Kincaid furniture factory,and after drinking considerable booze began to make a ‘‘rough bouse.’’Craton, {t seems,endeavored torid the house of a number of his guests—now 4l- leged customers—who were almost past going,and when these refused to go Craton 'pboned for theofficers. Deputy Sheriffs Ward and Gilbert answered the call and on reaching house they beard two or three of the negroes telling Craton that be had soid them tbe liquor which made tbem drunk and shey expected to remain in his house until they got over their drunk.These negroes repeated the statements that they had procured the liquor from Craton after the officers envered the house, and tbe officers immediately placed about a baif dczan of the bunch,in- cluding Craton,under arrest and took them before Justice King at the court house. Hen Smith and Mack Adams were time,Quincy Fletcher visited the cbain gang camp last October and poonvicted of trespass on the testimo- made arrangements with him to aid Marsbali Fletcher to escape, ander to receive $25 for bis work. Fietcher visited the camp again and jefe the $25 with another trusty, Sam Holmes,colored,who bad been |Adams and Smith were sent to jail designated by Alexander as the man| to whom the money sbould be deliv- ered,and from that time on Alexan- der watched fcr a chance to heip Marshall get away.He managed to procure some iocks and keys similar to those used in locking the prison ers to a big chain in the sleeping quarters,and wheoa key had been found which fitted the !ock which pe!d Marshall fast at night,i+was turned over t6 Marsbali. Some dayslater,so thestory goes, while Alexander was at camp aione, be removed a portion of the ftoorun der Marshall’s bunk and the night following,when everything had got- ten quiet,Marshall put the key into piay,slipped through the bole under his bunkand madehisescape.Alex ander was suspected of having a band in the affair and when bard pressed tater be made a confession which led to the arrest of Quincy Fletcher some days ago and the sub- sequenthearing yesterday.Thene- gro convict will also answer at the Superior Court for his part in the affair. The defence offered by Fietcher yesterday was that bis brother had instructed himtobring the $25to the chain gang camp without selling what the money was to be used for. He further stated thatthe money was she proceeds from the sale of Mar- shall Fletcher's apple crop.

The wers almost inseparable, Living in a simply builtloghouse, far removed from town and in a sparsely setticd community,this family seemed baopy in their obliv- fon to outside surroundings,and the home was made »garden of roses and a bower of beauty io frnis and vegetation. They had the love for the aesthetic in their natures,and as one by one death claimed a member the surviv- ing ones found comfort and consola- tion yet in the homalife,the flowers, and the hills,and friends from far and near lent cheer to the quiet life. Age lessened the energies and the house is but a semblance of what it was in former days,yet as such “Miss Addia’’loved it andcould not be induced to leave it.She was surrounded by several colored peo- ple who administered to her and to- ward whom she always extended a helping hand and majatained the par’of a friend. Her estate comprises possibly a thousand acres of landin Stanly and Montgomery.In the absence of a will,after tho debts are paid this property will revart tothe State Uni- versity.Miss Kron wrote a will a few weeks prior to her death,be- queathing the home tract to the ne- groes who resided near and the bal- ance to the State University,butthe will was not signed and is inopsra- tive.

Sold Goods te Give to the Poor—Expect- ed Recipients Disappointed. The Durham Sun bold recently of the queer case of Ransom McClam,a worsny old colored citizen of Durham gounty,,who claimed that he had been told by the Lord,in a dream, to se!l all his goods and give the proceeds to the poor.The negro owned about 30 acres of land,three head of stock and otber personal prop- erty,and he immediately proceeded to sell bie effects for the purpose,as he alleged,of carrying out the com mand of the Lord.His friends and relatives tried to dissuade him but failed,Inanswertotheirarguments he said:‘‘Is’s a\curious thing to me dat de Lord am‘telling me to sell, den others tryin’to git me to bold back partobmy things.Let me toll you ove thing,Ananias held back part ob bis possessions when de Lord told him +)sell all and he was struck dead.I don’t nebber want to be struck dead.”’ The proceeds of the sale,it is sald, am unted to about $700.While the old man’s relatives and friends were unable to-stop the sale it seems they made some headway in preveoting thedistribution of the money.Any- way,theSun says that many negroes who had heard that McClam would distribute the money at the court house in Durham were on hand promptly to get their shareand some of them waited long for McClam to appear,but there was no distribution at the court bouse: CHILDREN TEETHING.

Linney told this story of an Alexan- der man,as recorded by the Ob- server: This particular gentleman had s very sore leg.He was a prominent officer ini an Alexander church.While he was stooping in some act of de- votion at the church altar one Sun- day morning,&bench legged dog who had drifted into the place and found the atmosphere uncongenial, darted down the aisle and between the legs of the citizen,striking the sore leg fair and square amidships. The old man was keeled over for the moment,but rose again with set teeth and firm self-control.When he lifted his voice it rang with the essence of earnestness softened by just piety.‘‘It behooves us wor- shipping brethren,”he wassaying, when the sudden interruption came, “worshipping brethren,worship- ping bréthren,”’be repeated,‘‘to leave our d—n dogs at home.’’To bim the late Judge Armfield ‘‘of un- excelled grandeur of intellect’’sent word that if he were indicted for it, to continue his case until he came around and be would absolve him. “Hard by the grave of that man,” thundered Mr.Linney,referring to the pious sufferer,‘‘this raliroad line will run!’’ And it was spoken with all the hallowed reverence with which one would feter to the resting-place of a patron saint.

Recently young Tillman obtained possession of the children,two little girls,and gave them to his parents, Senator and Mrs.Tillman,formally executing a deed under South Oaro- lina law to give the Tillmans a legal title to the children.Mrs.Tillman, Ir.,brought suit to recover thechil- dren,the deeding of them to their grandparents having been done with- out her knowledgeorconsent.Then is was brought out that a South Car- olina law permitted a father to deed his minor children to whomsoever he willed,without the consent of the mother;and further that hecould by will direct a similar disposition of them after his death.The general public,including South Carolina,had never heard of the existence of such a law until it was brought tolightin this case. The act it authorizes is so cruel and heartless,so manifestly unfair, that astorm of indgnant protesd was made,with the result that the Soutb Carolina Legislature has passed an act repealing it.South Carolina re- ceived much unenviable notoriety and much denunciation on account of the statute,The North Carolina newspapers were at the very front in the denunciation of a barbarous statute which was supposed to be peculiar to South Carolina,until somebody discovered thata similar Statute is in existence in this State —see section 1,762 of the Revisal— since which time our folks have been singing mighty small.Practically the same law exists in Virginia. While the South Carolina Legisla- ture deserves credit for repealing the Jaw (the North Carolina Legisla ture should do the same for the law in this State as soon as it meets),its action was unnecessary,as the South Carolina Supreme Cours,in passing on the Tillman case this week,held the law unconstitutional.The de- cision is common sense,for cértainly if a husband cannot mortgage or transfer a piece of real estave with- out the signature of his wife—andhe cannot under our law—he should not be given the authority to deed away bis children,in which the mother bas really a more vital interest shan the father.- The decision in the Tillman case will,itis said,give the mother the possession oftbechildren.Iadeed- ing them to their grandparents young Tillman set forth that their mother was unfit to bring them up properly and that he was not ableto give them such trainingas he would like them tohave.Publicsympathy was with young Mrs.Tillman,prob- ably more on account of the rank injustice of the matter than with ref- erance to the merits of the differ- ences between the Tillmans;and the incident has by no means added to the popularity of Senator Tillman, either in South Carolina or the coun- try.Without passing on the differ- ences between the young people,all humane people will be pleased to know that a statute which au- thorized any such outrageous per- formance as.that under eonsidera- tion,has been wiped out.Whilewe wave no idea that the North Carolina Supreme Court would hold the stat- ute in this State valid,the disgrace- ful act should be wiped out at the first opportunity.The wonder is that it was ever.enacted in this or any other State: A Centenarian at Coolesmee.

There are survivors of thé grand old Fourth North Carolina regiment ving in Iredell,Rowan and Davie counties who love torecallincidents which took place during the civil war,some of which were plessant, and others unpleasant.But it is of the Spottsy]vaniabattle,the bloodiest of the war,that I wish to speak at this time. It was about the 5th of May,1864, @whbenGen.Grant broke camp,cross- ed the Rapidan river and started once more for Richmond.But Gen, RB.E.Lee disputed his right of way Béfore he had gotten far,and some hard blows were before Gen. Grant was convinced:that ‘‘the road $0 Richmond”was ‘‘a hard road to fravol.’”’The grand old Fourth regi- went,with Remseur’s brigade,dealt some of those blows. «About the 8th of May Major E.A. Osborne,with about300sharp shoot- érs,drove the Yankee line of sharp shooters back to thetopofa bill,and to the Yankee line of battle,and here the Yankee troops laid aside their knapsacks,expecting to returo,but alas!their hopes wereinvain.Our ad{Hoe charged and they turned their backs on usas usual.Gen.Rhodes was in command of the division,Get. Ramseur ‘the brigade,and Col Grimes the Fourth regiment.Some fighting was kept up for three or Jfour days until the 12th of May. Ramseur’s brigade was alittle tothe lefs of the bloody angle,and the Fourth regiment,being on the right of the brigade,extended to within a Hew rods of.the bloody angle,where large trees were cut down byminnie balls.This was said tobethe blood- test battle,and the angle the blood- fest spot in the battle,during the war.It was almost sure death to raise your head above the breast works.Col.Grimes came up the line calling for some man who would volunteer to go over where he could see how many flags were inthe Yau- kee line of breastworks.One man spoke out firmly and said,“T will go,colonel,’and he went and came k and reported.A charge was eed with the rebel yelland theene- my turned their backs on us again, but this was a long,hard struggle, after which Gens.Rhodes andEarly both said,“You have saved Ewell’s corps.’"And when Bradley Jobn- ston’s division gave way,Ramseur was ordered to re-take the lost ground,aod it was here again that the Fourtl covered itself all over with that glory of which the world never knew. Capt.J.‘A,Stikeleather I hope wi!l not object to my saying tbat he grag the man who counted the Yan- kep flags on this occasion,and Presi- dent Davis didn’t accuse him of cowardice at all but gave hima com- mission to rank as captain,and he carries thattitie yot.Every man was a hero whocould stand to his post without flinching in those try- ling days,but the Fourth was com- |posed of heroes.

Tiles,the noted Charlotte lawyer. A special of the 14h,from Philadel- phia to the Charlotte Observer,tells the story as follows::In a natura!cave in Fairmont park,the body of Wilbur Allison,sonotRev,T.J.AHison,of Charlotte, N,C.,was found yesterday by aparkguard.,Ap empty bottle of chloroform lying near by and a wisp of cotton across the dead man’s face, gave mute evidence of how the trag- edy had occurred.The discoverywasmadebyParkGuardGlennop. The clothes of the suicide told ofwealthandgoodtaste.The fact that the snow around the cave where the body was found was undisturbed, since the snowstorm of last Friday. The suicide bad cerefully removed all marks of identification with the exception of the makers’Jabel in his coat,which gave the name Ed.Mel-lon,Chariosse,N.C.This slight clew,however,was sufficient to bring about identification.Allison,who was22 yearsold,was studying in a law office in this city and corresponding with bis family at home.About two weeks ago the correspordence suddenly ceased and his family,anxious over the pro- tracted si.ence,sent a telegram yes:terday to Henderson Irwin,939 Spruce stréet,whose home js aisoin Charlotte and who is a senior in the Jefferson Medical College.They ask-ed Irwin to find the young man.When the news reached Irwin tharemanwhoseclothesboreaCharlotte label had been found a suicidein the park he went to the morgue,wherethebodyhadbeentaken,and identi- fied Allison.Young Allison boarded at 1538 Green street.He had not been tobisroomsforafortnightandissaid to have been seen on the street last ‘week.His trunk unpacked and his things scastered carelessly around the room showed that when he left the house for the Jast time he proba- bly intended to return.His friendIrwincanoffernoexplanationwhy he should have taken his life.Yesterday a company of boys, playing about the base of the ciiff,were moved to explore the cave andHtsvicinitybyElmerBell,one of the more daring of their number,who lives at.1265 North 234 street. They climbed to the mouth of the cave and entered.One of them fell against the prone body of Allison, and with yells of terror they ranfromthecavetothedrivebelow. There the outcry they raised attract- ed the attention of Glennop,a parkguard,who made an investigation. Thedead man was found inaunique position.His head was covered with his overcoat,undercoat and vest,His arms were stretched out on either side,so that be formed acrucifix.His face,which was turn- ed downwards,was buried in atwo-iach layer of absorbent cotton satu- ated with chloroform,An .empty bottle,smelling strongly of thesame substance,was found within -bisreach.A few feet away from the body were the ebarred remains af afire,which the luckless young man had probably lighted in an endeavor to warm himself.No marks of any kind were found on the body to excite suspicion offou)play.The p'ace where the ab- sorbent cotton had been laid was carefully hollowed out between two stones,and the disposal of thedloth-ing about the man’s bead leads the police to believe that the act was oneofpremeditatedsuicide.Nothing could be found on the body toidenti- fy it,except a pair of gold cuff links and a tailor’s tag in the clothing,which was of good quality.Thetag core the name of Ed.Mellon,Char- lotte,N.CO.

Buying Supplice For the Chain Gang. Speaking of buying supplies for the chain gang,acounty commission: __er remarkeda few days ago that sup- plies cost the county much more than they should cost because of the fact that some things,used in quantities sufficiently large to be bought at wholesale rates,had to be bought at retail because of local conditions. For instance,the chief items of food are meat and flour.Thesecannot be bought from Statesville wholesale merchants because the retail’mer- chante object to the wholesaler sell- {ng to the consumer and the whole: r must heed this objection or lose the trade of the retailers.Hay andgrain,which is handled by few re- tailors,can be bought from the whole *gale men,but food products and oth- “er supplies cannot be.While complaint would probably edb.Mr.Millsaps,of Statedville,awiththefarmersbereSata; Poston.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS. The Greensboro Patriot says “shere is arumor to the effect that Mr.8 L.Rogers,of Macon county, will not seek a renomination as cor- poration commissioner,”’and then oes on to say that Mr.H.C.Brown, the efficient clerk of the commission, may bea candidate.The Patriot says Mr,Brown is’“‘from Iredell county.”’THE LANDMARK regrets that Irede!!can’t claim Mr.Brown, for he is worth claiming.He went from Surry county to.become clerk of the commission.Where he is na- tive we don’tknow.Therumor that Mr.Rogers will not beacandidateis in circulation,and among the many aspirants for bis shoes the wish is probably father to the thought. However,Mr.Rogers told the Hen- dersonvilie Hustler,only last week, that he had not decided on bis course, ‘but would soon decide and make the matter public. The other dayin WashingtonMra. Nicholas Longsworth (Miss:Alice Roosevelt that was),gave a dinner #0 some friends,and Mrs.Meyer, the wife of the Seoretary of the Navy,was among the number. A friend in South America had recently given Mrs.Meyer two “‘marmosets’’(monkeys),and Mre.-Longworth asked that the monkeys be brought tw the dinner party.Mrs.Meyer complied,with the following result,as told bya Wasbington correspondent. As soon as the monkeys reached the Longworth residence one broke wildiy from Mrs.Meyer's arms while theother made a junge at Mrs.Cock- ran,who was treating it to some cboice baby talk.Then the two simians started to rough-house.The screams of thefeminineguestsdrownedtheexcited chatter of the monkeys,which jump- ~ed from one article of furniture toanother.Cherished wedding pres- ents were scattered around tbe floor.Mr.Meyer and Mr.Vanderbilt gave obase and a posse of scared servants made perfunctory attempts to cap- ture the twoSouth Americans,which threw things at their pursuers.When at Jast the Longworth butler succeeded’in bringing the monkeys under subjection is was almost mid- night and the nerves of the feminine quests were pretty well racked. “*Broken bric-a-brac,torn hang- ings and badly chewed Lovis Seize furniture,'’says the correspondent, ‘are reminders of the visit of the ~monkeys.Mrs.Alice’s husband,who plays second fiddle on all occasions, was notin town when the incident ocourred. *a” Those who constantly bend the knee to the eminently pious Mr. Rockefeller,that thrift may follow fawning,msy not be interested to know thatthe pious pbilanthropistis interested in the milk trust,which eontrols the milk supply in New York and other cities,but Tux LAND MARK is going to tell them that beis, nevertheless.A commission is in- vestigating the milk situation in New York and the otber day Mr.W.J. *Rogers,presidentof the Borden Con- densed Milk Company,was before the commission,and histestimony is reportedasfollows: Mr.Rogers said the net profits to the company for New York and Chi- cago in 1909 were $779,407.92,an In- crease of $340,353.12 over the sameperiodin1908,The net profits inNewYorkwere$496,000,an increase of $170,000 over the previous finan-cis!year.“In raising tbe price of milk did =take into consideration tbat you made so much money?"asked ‘tbe Deputy Attorney General.“Tbe supp'y regulatesthe price,” wae the answer. Is was brought out that Mr.Rog ers bad once oeen a driver of a milk wagon.He is now a millionaireand president of the largest milk corpo- :¥astion in the world. ‘©That is to say,notwithstanding “|the enormous profits admitted,tte “.@dmeern raised the price of milk be- the milk trust ie in position to regulate the supply;and milk con- >yiecapdty seachjoa) 4aumerswere bald up and made to pay more because they couldn’tbelp themselves,which is the way of all trusts.How many sick people,es- pecially infants and litele obildren, in the big cities,suffered and died because the increased price of milk put this nouristing fluid beyond their reach,God only Wiows.“ide.” Rockefeller’s money may not only be tainted:is may be blood money. But he can nevertheless still use it to buy public sentiment;and the managers of educations]institutions and churches still bow and smirk before him and praise his ‘high moral character’’and his ‘‘great be- nevolence,’’that thrift may follow fawning. THE MATTER OF CHARACTER. Judge Guion,of the Superior Court bench,is evidently opposed tochang- ing sentences after he bas passed them.He held court at Wilson last week and in response to the clamor of the lawyers urging reduction in sentences,his bonor is thus report- ed: “T have never had the pleasure of being associated with you before,but I know you now.Youarea cut rate set;when I return in May I'll put on double fines and double sen- tences to give margin enough tocon- form to your habit.” One case in court was thatof a young man who had.fired from the dark on a rival while the latter was talking to his girl on the porch at her home,seriously wounding him.In this connection itmay be said that the girl showed her grit by snatch- ing up a gun and firing on the flee- ing assassin.(Shooting from am- bush is a favorite pastime in Wilson county).The case was settied by compromise and a fineimposed.The attorney for the defeadantasked that she fine be reduced,saying hisclient had proved a good character,to which Judge Guion responded: ‘Good character,indeed!A man who will sit under an apple tree at night with a double-barrel gun inbis band,waiting for an opportunity to shoot,and does shoot and hits bis victims,has no character.” The attorney,says the reporter of the incident,took his seat “looking mad clean tbrough.’’Hewasdoubt- less mad,but the law-abiding public will applaud Judge Guion. Speaking of character in this con- nection,one who takes note of the trials of criminal cases in the Supe- rior Court will be led to believe,if he accepts the statements of attor- neys for the defendants,that few men of bad cbaracter are ever indict ed in court.Indeed it would appesr that there is a conspiracy.on the part of the solicitor and the grand jury to indict only persons of good cbharac- ter,while for some mysterious reas- on the really bad people are never in court.Rarely ever do the attor neys admit that the reputation of their clients is shady,and they can, when they jay themselves out,paint the blackest character snowwhite. Usually,too,toaccept their evidence, the client bas never been indicted before.He justhappened,good and and pure man that he is,to be brought in that time through the machinationsof enemies.Toooften, foo,it may be said,judgesallow this testimony of lawyers to move them. It ig a pleasure to note that Judge Guion is evidently not one of that type. This Village Voted Dry For Pay. Hudson,Ohio,Dispatch,14th,. This village voted today that it was worth while to remain ‘‘dry’’ for 50 years to obtain a waterworks, electric light and sewagesystem and kindred improvements.Theelecto-rate turned out in a body after a hot campaign and Voted,by 162 to 97,to accept the proposition.James W.LEilsworth,native of Hudson,but present millionaire res- ident of New York,offered the vil- lage the advantages named if it would vote ‘‘dry’’and stay so for 50 years,paint its houses white with green hiinds and put on red tile roofs,grow bedges to replace the popular picket fence,plant shade trees and clean up.Woen the offer was first made, two years #go,the village promptlyvoted‘‘dry’’and painted itself white- Ellsworth built a boya’club and a new Congregationa!parsonage.

Now tbat the first yearof PresidentTaft's admipistration is drawing toa close,members of his perty are ask- ing gern g’Sar on.degi's record measured ap to theirexpectations.Ae oer tat rest of disappointment exits,it seems,par- ticularly in the West.’This fs indi-cated forcibly in the results of a poll of 3,037 Republican editors livingwestoftheAlleghenies.The Ohi-cago Tribune put to the editors thequery:‘If you could vote for Presi- dent today,for whom would you cast your ballot?’”’No names of candi- dates were suggested.The editorsvotedthus:Roosevelt,1,360;Taft, 1,093;La Follette,197;Hughes,122;Cummins,65;Pinchot,30;Cannon, 14;Bryan,40;scattering,16.The figures are remarkable,if not surprising.Tbe actual President lags in popularity far behind his predecessor.ThesuggestivenessoftheunfavorablevoteisemphasizedbythevotesfavoringPinchot,La Follette and Cummins,whoare prow-inent exponents of policies opposed to those of President Taft.In two- thirds of the States it is Roosevelt, not Taft,who ig endorsed.In the Leke group of States Roosevelt has586votestoTaft’s 427;in the Prairie States,617 to Taft’s 475;on the Pa-cific Coast,164 to Taft’s 90.Only in|@ the Mountain States does she Presi- dent lead,with 66 votes against 64fortheex-President.Even in Ohio Taft bas but 19 votes more than Roosevelt."Mr.Roosevelt gained in strengthtothecloseofbisadministration. Why is President Taft’s hold up:n tbe public weaker and wesker as time goes on?What particular defi- ciencies has he shown?Thereply,in brief,is that be has wabbled in regard to the tariff,has seemed dis- posed to secure ‘‘barmony’’in the public land service by ignoring seri-ous charges,bas proposed central- izing legisiation in regardtoFederal incorporations of an alarming char- acter,ard generally bas failed tbexhibitthediscretion,the judicial fairdeas and higher statesmansbip exvected of bim.Very unfavorable is the view taken of his Lincoln Day speech at the Re- publican_Club,in which even Rs-publican papers charge that he de- fended the Payne tariff like a stump speaker,not like a statesman.His effort to show that his party had not promised ‘‘downward revision’ gmacks of insincerity.Votes were got for the party by leading the pub lic—particularly in the West—to be-lieve that the tariff burden would be lightened.No popular enthusiasm could have been excited by an inti- mation that tariff revision was to be in the interest solely of the ' patters.The New York Journal of Commerce finds the President's Lincoln Day argument for the Payne tarriff ‘merely an echo of the pleasAldrichandPaynebivebeenpro- claiming ever since the tariff bill was enacted,and there bas been suf. ficient exposure of tbe superficial character of the defense where it is not wholly fallacious.’’The New York Times deplores Mr.Taft's “using again the trumpery figures exposed in all their falseness long ago,and many times,to show that tbe new tariffisa revision down ward.’’Tbe Philadelphia North American confesses that two years ago it bailed Mr.Taftas ‘‘a great Amer'can,’”’and ‘did not begin to yield to the fear that the Presidentdidnotmeasureuptotherequire- meats of bis time until we read his speech of Saturday.It proved wo be a good stump espsech.It was partisan,“~*~*Is was adefense of the machinery and not an ap- peal to the principles of the party. Is @as a national proclamation utter- ly devoid of ideals.**~What is worse,it was aconfessionof prob-able party defeatin next November’s elections.’’Quotations like these could be mul- tipiied indefinitely.They all have this burden,thatthe President too narrowly conceives his relations to public interes's,and fails#9 measure up to the demands of a situation which,whilefullof difficulties,isfull of opportunities for a man of strength, wisdom aad patriotism. nea A Farm Offered For a Training School For Orphan Boys.s The Asheville Citizen says thas a 600 acre farm,‘valued at $6,000,bas been offered to Asheville Presbytery, of the Presbyterian Church,on condi- tion that the Presbytery establish on the farm a home for the training of orpban boys of that section,and tbat an effort is now being made to raise $2,000 to erect suitable buildings on the farm.Writing to the Citizsn of this gift,Rev.R.P:Smith,superto- tendent of home missions of AshevillePresbytery,says: “Ts ia not made by one of the mil- llonaire c.ass,but by a man who has accumulated some property by ardu ons manual labor and stricteconomy.

Mr.Morrison was born io Virginia and yesterday,theday which marked his death,was bis 79th birthday. He went to Alabama in early lifeand from that State he moved to Tennes- see,from whence he came to States- ville about,three and a half years ago.He was active as a minister of the Presbyterian Church from early ‘manhooa up to the time be loss his health,some years before coming to Statesville to live.While in Ala- bama be was marriedto Miss Daniel, of that Stat®,and bis wife aod four children survive,viz:Mr.James Morrison,who lives in California; Mrs.Mary Moore Davis,who is inchargeoftheStonewallJacksonIn-stitute at Abingdon,Va.;Mrs.W.N.Smithson,formerly of Statesville, now of Abingdon,Va,and Dirs.

Supt.L.O.White,talking of sobool work,says that reports from several of the teachers of the county indicate that they are using supple- mentary text-books in their schools to advantage.The custom has been todrudge the pupil through the same text-book several times,thereby making school work monotonous andveryoftenkillinginteres’entirely. Now the teachers are learning towedgeinsupplementarywork.For instance,when a pupil studies through she second reader he is not made to study that book again,nor‘ts it rushed on to the third reader, for which it is seldom prepared,but it is given such books as ‘‘Grim’s Fairy Tales,’’‘Big People and Little People of Osber Lands,’etc.,which gives the child plenty of exercisesin work adapted to its ability,and at the same time keeps up interest. The following letter from Miss AnnaBaity to Mr.White shows how useful supplementary books are in her school.Obpber teachers write similar letters:‘‘I have been using supplementary books.I find thema great help to the children.Don’t think I could get along without ,them.”’ TheColonial Tea.

Suddenly the strange negro came up behind them and shouting something, fired twice with a pistol which the two negro witnesses say looked like it was half as long as the murderer’sbody.Turner,shot through andthrough,the balis coming out at bisbreast,ran down the side of a 15footcutandcrossedthetrackstotheotherside,where be fell,stone dead.Sheriff Dalap and his officers im-mediately took up the the chase andcontinueditMondaynightandyes- terday without resuit.The body ofTurnerwasbroughttotownandturnedovertotheDavidsonFurni- ture Company's undertakers,whereiswasembaimedandsenttoStatesvilleyesterdayforburial.If there is any reason at all for the crime itis not known.Someare in-clined to think that gambling,per-haps,is at the bottomofit.The mur-derer is supposed to be a negrocall-ed ‘‘Noab,’’who has been workinghereandtherealongtherailroadandwho,when the police raided a game of ‘‘skin'’at the ‘‘hall’’some nightsago,was arrested along with other colored mblers but was later re- leased.his negro was seen Mon- day morning on the streets,actingasifhewerefilleduponcocaine.He was known to carry a big pistol that day,belonging to another Tbe@ Byan Construction Companyandthesheriffeachoffer$25 reward for the murderer,who is described as avery biack,heavy set negro of medium height.

TOOK ALL HIS MONEY. DID HE POUR THE LIQUOR OUT? A Constable Who Found a Kegof Booze in North Iredell Was So Inctructed. Two or three days ago a number of young men in Eagle Mills town- ship got on a drunk and the mother of one of the boys began an investi- gation to ascertain from whence the liquor which caused her son'sdownfallhadbeensecured.As a result a search warrant was sworn out asking that the premises of oneBudMyersbesearched,and when the warrant was placed in the hands of Mr.Carmillus Renegar,township constable,the latter carried out instructions and found a 16-gal- lon keg containing about 12gallons of liquor,on the Myers premises,alsoanemptyliquorbarrel.The con- stable took charge of the booze and‘phoned Sheriff Deaton yesterday to ask what disposition to make of sheliquor.The sberiff’s prompt replywas:‘Knock the head out of the keg and vour the contents outonthe ground.’”’And it is supposed thatthesheriff's instructioas were car ried out.This may not be the end of the case,however. When Sheriff Deaton was talking to the Eagle Mills officer over the country ‘pbone line he suspected thas folks along the line were listeningto the conversation,and when he deliv- ered the pointed instructions about the disposition of the booze he was assured of the fact.He heard a number of people ‘‘smack’’their lips and say it was a shame to throw away good liquor,whileothers slam-| med their ‘phone receivers in place| witb a sigh.One person who was eavesdropping came to the sheriff's aid,however,and made the officer feel good.It was a woman and sbe said:‘‘That’s right,sheriff;make them pour it out!” Took the Little Girl's Umbrella.: Little Miss Ruth Morrison,daugh- ter of Mr.and Mrs,Eugene Morri- gon,had a startling experience with a negro while en route home from school yesterday afternoon.The little girl was in the vicinity of theoldelectriclightplant,on Water street,when a negro man suddenly up behind her and snatched her umbrella from ber hand.Aftersecuringtheumbrellathenegréburriedoffacrossthevacantprop- erty in rear of the old cemetery and the little girl,badly frightened,ran to the store of the J.K.Morrison &Sons’Co.in search of ber father. Mr.Morrison was out of town and when tbe child saw that he was.not in _the _office she went on home withous telling any one at the store what had taken place.On reaching home she told ber mother and the police were noti fied.The officers have since been at work on the case,but no clue to the identity of the negro has de- veloped. Snatching purses and hand bags from ladies is common in some towns. This is the first case of the kind here and it would be just as well if it is the last. Death of An Aged Citizen. Mr.William Campbell,said to be one of the oldest men in the county, died ‘yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock at the home of his son,Mr. D.S.Campbell,on Fourth street.

Southern Railway Engineers Get An Increase. It was made public a few days ago that engineers on the Southern rail- way have received a material in- crease in the scale of wages,effectiveFebruary1,1910.This increase in wage scale ranges fram 17 to 20centsperday,and theré is also anincreaseintheovertimescale. The increase is the result of acon- ferenceheld in Washington recently, when representatives of the engin-eers and the officials of the Sousbern discussed the situation in an effort to arrive atan agreement.This in- crease,affecting every division of the system,will hold good for one year.While it is understood thatconductors,firemen and other raii- road men have asked for increases,basing their demand upon the in- creased cost of living,nothing hasbeenannounced,but it is thoughtthatinviewofthe-fact that the en- gimeers have received a raise,the men in all other branches wil!betreatedlikewise. The increase in the pay of engin- eers shows an increase from $3.70 to return of their money and that endedit, Meeting of the Iredell Anti-Tuberculosis Society.

Speaking in the Senate Monday in favor of a bill to create acommission to reform the business methods of ,.the government,Senator Aldrich,of Whode Island,declared that he ‘would undertake to run the gov- erument of the United States for $300,000,000 a year Jess than it now costs.’’That is a big saving,but owe bave an idea that the Senator is not far wrong;that with theapplica- tion-of proper business methods this amount,and more;could easily be saved without impairing the efficien- cy of the government—by simply lopping off the barnacles,the unnec- essary employes and the waste in transacting business. Senator Aldrich,however,controls the Senate and through it practically controls Congress,which means that he is almost the government;and that he could,if he will exert himself, put into effect some of the methods of economy he has in mind.It is possible,however,that Senator Al- @rich’s ideas of economy in some directions might not meet public ap- proval.He is thoroughly identified with ‘“‘the interests’’and it is probable that he would at once lop off some of the machinery employed in looking after the big corporations in the efforttocompel them tocomply with the law,and would probably make cther changes in this direction which would not lessen the burdens of the people.On the contrary the result might be an indirect increase of the burden’. However,a reform in the business wsthods of the government is badly “peededand it is to be hoped it.can be brought about.Thera sis some disposition manifest in the depart- ments at Washington to effect a sav- ing.It is announced that the serv- foes ‘of 200 employes of the Treasury Department will be dispensed with July 1.Reforms in the methods of the department,decided upon as a reanit of a study of the office system with a view toward economy and e@iciency,will result,it is said,ina @aving annually of $133,000 in sala- ries.President Taft has approved the plan of reorganization,which in- cludes changes in the issue division of the treasurer’s office and the office of theauditor.Computingmachines are to be introduced in the office of the auditor of the Postoffice Depart- *ment,which will result in dispens- ing with the services of 77 employes. Solomon Shepherd,the negro con- vieted of the murder of Engineer Hole at Durham,evidently has more sense than he has been credited ~with..While the assassination of the engineer was atirring the people of Durham,Shepherd,arrested in another State for some minor offence, stated that he was theassassin.He was brought to Durham but his dec- laration was not for the time taken seriously.He was believed to bean imbecile and this defence was made for bim at thetrial.Buthe wascon- victed of murder in the second de- gree—the jury evidently giving him the benefit of the doubt to that ex- tent —and Judge Biggs,who evi- dently thought him guilty,gavehtm the full limit of the law —30 years. Solomon was takento the State prison at once but he was hardly inside the walls before be made a dash for liberty and was checked ‘by bullets @vazing his hide.Itwas announced from the prison that he would be putimironsandkeptclose.But notso.The other day he was taken withotherconvictstoarailroadcamp pear Laurinburg,and while at workwithaconstructionforcejumped from a flat car and made his escape,Hotwithstanding he was wearing obains.eee, The editor of Tux LANDMARK is be- holden to bis brethren of the Salis- bury Post and the Greensboro Rec- ord for kind expressions with refer- @nce to a controversy in which some Presbyterian ministers bave engag- od Tax LanpMark editor through the columns of the Chariotte Observer.

They bad a farmers’shors course at Hiokory this week,as announced In Tox LANDMARK &@ week ago,and while he wasn't on the programme, Mr.Morgan B.Spier,of the Bell Telepbone Company,was on band. and accommodates himself to a relig- jous gathering,a farmers’meeting or any sort of gathering in which be can put in a word forthe Bel].The Democrat has this to say of bis ad- ventin the Hickory farmers’meet- ing: Morgan B.Spier,district superin-tendent of the Bell Telephone Com-pany,of Charlotte,pointed out theabsolutenecessityoftheruraltele-phone tothefarmer.By co-operatingfarmersmaygetthefarmers’ex-changes by ar investment of $15 to $18 each,and 40 cents proratedamongeachmemberforanoperator.The Dixie exchange in Meckienburg costs each member $9 a year.Farm-ers can get their exchange as low as75centsamonth.Mr.Spier show-ed maps of Mecklenburg and Union,dotted ail over with country ‘phones,Union had 25 exchanges. We wonder if Mr.Spiertoild the Catawba farmers that the Union ex- changes are independent companies and that Union is free from the Beil monopoly?We wonder,too,did he tell them that notwithstanding the Bell bas controlled in Charlotte for many years that not until recently has a rural telephone exchange been established in Mecklenburg county, notwithstanding Union,Iredell and other counties have jong had these important adjuncts to the modern rural life?Of course he didn’t tell them that,nor did he tell them thatitwasnotuntilrecentlythatthe Bell began offering any inducements to the farmers to build rural lines and exchanges;and that {ts zeal in this direction now is due to the strength of the independent tele- phone systems in Iredell and other counties in this section of the State. As to the prices quoted for rural service,they are higher than neces- sary,but the cost wouldbe reasona- ble enough if that was the end of it. If the Bell ever reaches the goal for which it is striving —an absolute monopoly of all wire communication —the farmers and all others who de- sire to use this service willbeforced to pay any old price the monopoly may ask.And the folks who join with the Bell or any other similar monopoly are helping to bring about just that state of affairs.

Wonderful Discovery Which Practi- cally.Eliminates the Dangers of Death by Catarrh or Diseases Which Origi- nate With Catarrb. (From the Paterson,N.J.,Guardian.) Ninety-four per cent.of all the diseases with which the human system is sfflicted,originate or turn into catarrh;assuring himself of this fact. Dr.Barker gave the matter of catarrh his entire time and study,and after several yeara of the most thorough research for a remedy which would positively cure catarth in any form,he pre- pared a prescription which he used in his private practice without a single failure of any case of catarrh he treated,After a considerable amount of persuasion he c>nsented to put the pres¢ription up‘in convenient form,so that sufferers from this terrible disease could purchase the treatment ata nominal cost.The prescription will be found in most any drug store in the United States under the label bloodine.In a recent introductory sale in the city of New York,more than 20,000 bottles were sold in a single week. 1 am so confident that bloodine will cure any one afflicted with catarrh thatI will gladly supply it to any patient On a positive guarantee to cure,or money will be as cheerfully refunded as it is tak- en.If your druggist does not keep Bloodine you can be supplied by The Bloodine Laboratories, Boston,Mass,,at Hc,a bottle,or six bottles forHOWTOCORRBHEUMATISN. The cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the blood.To cure this terrible disease thia acid must be expelled ard the sytem so reguiated that no more acid will be formed in excessive quantities.Rheumatiam is an internal disease and requires an internal remedy.Rubbing with Oils and Liniments wil!not cure,affordsonly tem- porary relief at best,causes you to delay the proper treatment,and allowsthemalady to get firmer hold on you.Liniments mayeasethe pain, but they will no more cure Rheumatism than paint will change the fibre of rotten wood. Science hag at last discovered a perfect and complete cure,which is called ‘“‘Rheumacide.” Tested in hundreds of cases,it has effected the most marvelous cures.Kheumacide “gets at the joints fromthe inside,”sweeps the poisons out ofthetonesupthestomach,regulates theliverandkidneysandmakesyouwellallover.Rheumacide “strikes the root of the disease and yanddealersgenerallyatSic.and $1 abottle.In Tablet form at 25c.and 50c.a package.

Jurors in Judge Speer’s Cirovit Court at Jersey City,bad the timeoftheir‘ives vesterday holding bands with Miss Neilie McHenry,a pretty manicurist,of this city.Miss Mo. Henry was in court suingthe public service corporation for $25,000 dam- ages for the shaking up sbe gotonDecember25,when a trolley car jump-ed the track at Pavonia and Summitavenuesandtriedtoclimbaporch. After the car had stopped its frolic-ing Miss McHenry,who used to be &@ vaudeville actress,but who took up manicuring because she aid nodiikeleavingbomesomuch,found that she had lost a set of,er,—false teeth and that besides,her rightarmwaspartiallyparalyzed.She paid something like $600 in doctors’bills,but the arm was never restored to rfect condition.She had no trou- le in getting anotber set of teeth, but that didn’t help the arm any. Miss McHenry,bewitchingly attir-ed,told a dolefu!l tale to the jurors yesterday of the serious difficulty she encountered in performing her manicure operations on Broadwaybecauseofanumbnessofherright hand. Her counsel,former Mayor Ran-dolpb Perkins,of Westfield,told ber to pass her little hands over to the jurors so they could tell,by gentletouch,that the right one was colder than the otber,ali the result of the trolley accident. “Ob,’is that necessary?’’gasped the manicurist. Quite so,’”’purred ber counsel,while the jurors perked upand look-ed immensely tickled. Miss McHenry,with just the most delicate shade of blush,stepped fromthewitnessstandandovertothe jury box.The jurors leaned over and stretched out their hands.They all seemed eager for thefirsts queeze. “Now,gentiemen,one at a sime,"’ commanded the judge.‘You'll allhaveachaace,’” “Yes,I come first,anyhow,” growled the foreman,who acted likeanold-timer, Miss McHenry went from one juror to another,holding out berdaintyrighthandandthenthelefs, and tbey al]pressed the two with lingering caress.One of the jurorshungonsolongthatthecounselfor the publicservicecorporation gruffly reminded him that it wasn’t a hand- holding match that was going on. When the hands had completedtbecircuit-of the jurors,the trolley company’s attorney arose to remarkthatMissMcHenry,before the pro- cess began,had warmed her lefhandbygrippingtbearmofthewit- ness chair while she held the other up at ber face to stop thecirculation of blood,making thatonecolder thantheother. The judge badn’t noticed that,he said,but be suggested that perbaps store onghtto be another test,so Miss McHenry,after balfan hour's pause,during which she beld both hands in front of her,gave themonce moretotheeagerjurors. What did the jurors do after that’ Why,they returned a verdict of $5,000 in favor of the manicurist. Eight Noted Italian Criminals SentencedtoPrison. New York Dispatch,19th.

The following with reference to the late J.H.Craig;of Gastonis, father of Mr.D.J.Craig,of States- ville,whose death was mentioned in the last issue of Tue LANDMARK,Is from the Charlotte Observer: John Henry Craig,pioneer citizen of Gastonia,was born in the Union section of Gaston county November 8,1829,and was hence in his Siet year.His parents were poor butre- spected farm people and he was m,|brought up in frugal circumstances. ™|He early learned the meaning of work and the secret of financial suc- cess—saving.In 1839,when 19 years of age,be began ‘lite’s battle on bis own hook,bis.only.earthly possessions being a horse which his father hud gtven him and 14 ceatsin money.During the courseofa long and active business career heaccum- ulated a neat fortune,but,following an unique ideaof his own,he dis- tributea the bulk of his fortune among his chi:dren during bis life time.It had been his custom for several years past to have his chil- dren gather at his home on’his birthdays and on those occasionsbejp presented them with checks,in thie way bequeathing to themduring his life practically all of the propersy be had accumulated. On starting out to wage his own life-battsie Mr.Craig wenttoCheater county,S.C.,where he spent four years.By close saving he was soon able to start a small tannery which was the foundation of a business which began togrow rapidly.As he became financially able he became the owner of several slayes and taught them the tanning trade. soon branched out into cotton-buy- ing and it was in this line that heac- cumulated @ large part of bis estate. Moving back to Gaston after four years in South Carolina,be continu- ed the tanning business and in con- nection therewith did a general mer- chandise and live-stock business. During along number of years,in fact up until three or four yearsago, be was afamiliar igureon the streets of Gastonia every day during thecot ton season,buying cotton as it was brought in by the growers. When the war came on Mr.Craig enlisted in the Confederatearmyand was twice in camp,but,because ofaninjurytooneofhislegs,received early in life,he was nos able to do active service in fighting,so be re- turned to Gaston and made harness and saddles and other leathern goods for the Confederate governmentdur- ing the course of that conflict. Mr.Craig was one of Gastonia’s first citizens.In 1876 he moved to Gastonia from the Pisgah neighbor- hood.The railroad had just been built and there was as yet no town, Only a very few scattering houses. property and sold to the railroad the site for its fires depotshereas he did also at King’s Mountain and Grover. Many industries and enterprises in Gastonia owe much of their suc- sess in their early stages to Mr. Craig.Together with thelate Capt. R.C.G.Love andothers he built the first cotton factory there.He was Gastonia’s first banker,being a mem: oer of the banking firm of Craig & Jenkins,which was succeeded by the First National Bank. For practically ali of his life Mr. Craig had been a member of the Presbyterian Church and since he grew to manhood had been an elder, tirat in the Union church and later, for the past many years,in the Olney Presbyterian church.Oa December 21,1858,Mr.Craig married Mary A.Jenkins,daughter of Hon.David A.Jenkins,at onesimeTreasurerofNorthCarolina. She survives him together with eight children.Of recent years Mr.Craig had been periodically in the public eye by rea-son of the notable birthday gifts which he made his children.He wasoneofthoseself-made men who did pot believe in hoarding his wealth but rather that it should be divided among his family so that.they could enjoy it while he was yet living. Well does the public remember the series of thrée family reunions,the last comingin1903,w he divided $100,000 among his children.Since then other gifts of large denomina- tion have been made but this $100,- 000 donation was the first to attract public notice.These gifts were something like thenk-offerings for having been granted the continued fellowship of friends and relatives year after year. Mr.Craig was not overly rich but had been gifted in the accumulation of this world’s goods to the extent that he was pointed out as a very rich man. The Scaring Business Was a Boomerang.

W.Holmes Hudson,a white manlivingnearChester,S.C.,hid him- self in the bushes by a roadside last Tuesday night for the purpose of scaring a negro.The negro wasfrightenedallright,so badly scared in fact that he blazed away with a shot gun he was carrying and came very near killing the fellow who wastryingtobesoall-fired funny.Hud- son is laid up with a badly torn face,a shoulder filled with shot and one eye about out if not entirely so.Hehasafightingchanceforhislife,but he has tried to scare a nogro for the last time.

Aberdeen,N.C.—I suppose there are more than a regiment of what we Southerners generally call Yankees, in Moore county—not counting thewomenandohildren.Judging from their ages many of them,perbaps,handled rifles under Gen.Grant. Their armaments now consist of ‘play tools,”’and if they placed the balls from their rifles with the same skill they do their golf balls no won-der they cut swaths in our Confed- erate ranks.They are not gettingSouthernturkeysand‘‘taters’’as cheap as when marching throughGeorgia,but no doubt they relish them with more comfort,even at |@p@eoQossosesososoooseNees present high prices.They show an anxiety to treat an old ‘‘Reb”’with kindness,and burv thedifferences|aa that led to the conflict between the Blue and the Gray.In visiting Southern Pines,where I expected to find many invalids,I was surprised to find the people,for the most part,so bale,jolly and ac- tive, The most interesting part of my stay was withan English violin maker who has been engaged in the busi- ness.20 years.I have been handling and tinkering with violins longer than he,but soonfelt mylitslenessin the matter when taking instructions from-an old maker of the ‘king of in- struments.’1s seemed that the more be told me the more he wantedtotell me,and the more he showed me the more he wanted to show me.Many of his toolsI never had seen anything like,and the quality and shapeof the wood,which was imported,was a novelty.His prices range from $75 to $125,and the most of the instru- He|ments are sbtpped North,which seems to be reversing the order of things. Foreigners with such energy and intellectual and artistic attainments, should receive hearty welcome into the United States,especially in our Southland.But,alas!butfew such can be found among the millions that are crossing thesea to us every year. However,it is to be hoped that the present influx of humanity may be ordered from above,that under our care tbey may be lifted up,but un- jess we ‘work while it is day’’their influence will.have a different ten- dency on our rising generation. J.S.LEonagp. Good RecipeBat Difficult to Get the ‘Ingredients. The editor of the Mt.Airy News (who is'a preacher if our memory serves:us)was laid up with a cold recently and he thus tells of the remedy his good mother prescribed: “Our mother,the best old woman in the world and aboutthe smartest, read the paper and at once sat down and wrote a long letter telling us to 98 careful and avoid pneumonia,ete., .She gave us the following re- éeipt which she said we would find to-be very helpful where one is in a run-down condition.For the benefit of our many readers we reproduce it, thinking it may help others: **’Take a table glass and break an egg ‘nto itand beat well.Put ina litele sugar and enough good brandy to cook the egg and then fill the glass with rich sweet milk and flavor with putmeg.Drink several glasses of this each day and it will be found nourishing and helpful to those who are suffering with cold and grip.’ **We have not tried the above re- ceipt because we failed to have the brandy,but no doubt it has real virtue in it and we assure our read- 6rs that no barm can come from giv- frig it a trial,because our mother says itis O.K.’’- be prescription is all right and she good woman who recommended is,being an old-timer,never thought of the impossibility of the brandy. But something ought to be done to a man who recommends something to others which be knows many of them will want and can’t get. The Juniors Had a Warm Time. The Greensboro correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer bears that at the meetingof the State Council of the Junior Order in Greensboro Jast week there was amightyhottimeintheexecutive sessions—so warm in fact that therewerefisticuffs.The trouble was On account of the orphanage question and differences with the national or- ganization of the order,which op- poses the establishment of a State orphanage.Last year there was a threat to secede from the nationalorganization,as the Virginia State council has done,but the matter was smoothed over. Despite the opposition to the State orphanage |t is said a resolution to establish the orphanage was adopt- ed by a vote of 98 to 12,and $10,000 was appropriated asa ‘nucleus fund for the purpose.The matteristobe submitted to.subordinate “councilsforratificationorrejection.

[¥romthe Fall River Globe.} Dr.Wm.:E.Barker Makes a Remarkable State- ment After Traveling From the Atlantic to the Pacific. As he secured tome of the most notable indorsements to his theary,he does not hesitate in saying that he will positively guarantee bloodine to cure stone in the bladder or any kidneyor blad- der trouble,no matter how long you have been suffering.Ninety-seven per cent.of the entire |population of the United States are afflicted with kidney or bladéer trouble.In the last seven years Bloodine has cured 9 per cent.of the cesses that have been treated with it. Hundreds of cases of hemorrhage of the bladder havebeen cured after treatment in some of the leading hospitals have failed to even relieve the patient.We are therefore confident that our theory of treating these cases with Bloodine,is the only possible manner in which such a large per centage of cases can be cured,that we do not hesitate to guarantee the efficiency of Blogdine. Mr.Hanson,the business manager of thePostal Telegraphand Cable Co,,of Biddeford,Maine,had astone in the bladder removed with six and one- half bottles of Bloodine,after being told by ‘all-af the leading physicians in his vicinity that the only way it could possibiy be removed was by an opera- tion.We stand ready to furnish positive proof of i the above statement toanyone doubting the truth |of the same. More than five.million bottles of Bloodine were sold in’America last year.Can there be any |greater evidence of merit than this unparelleled i sale of «scientific prodact.Noother product has |ever met with such astounding sales in so short a }period.and from 4 conservative estimate the sales |this year will reach ten million bottles.Two |thousand eight hundred and eighty bottles were |gold in a single day in Cleveland,Ohio;2,160 bot- |bles ware sold in Rochester,N.Y.,at the first |day’s introductory sale,and 1,400 bottles in Pat- |terson,N.J.,in one day.No scientific treatment |has ever attained such success in America.We are now supplying druggists with Bloodine.for the convenience of those wishing to convince themselves of ite merits.if your druggist does |not have it,The Bloodine Laboratories,Boston, |Mass.,will supply you with a six weeks’treat- |ment (six bottles)for $2.0;We,a bottle,trial |sample and booklet 10c.

BEDRIDDEN BUT DID BUSINESS. |NewBerne Journal. |There died in this city a few daysacoloredmanaged69years, who though greatly afflicted,having no control over bis lower limbs,yet pursued an active business life evenafterthree-score years had passed, and he was forced to lie’upon his back during the last eight years of his life.J.W.Harrell,knowntohis friendsas‘Jeff’Harrell,came to this city years ago from Piymoutb.He had been married but at the timeof death was a widower,an illegitimate son being the sole member of his house- bold.In a small store on QueengtreetandTioCupAlley,Harrell, lying upon his back on a couch in & room adjoining his shop,through a slide in the wall watched every cus- tomer coming and going,noted every coin dropped in the casb register, and quickly detected every attempt to make wrong change.Though the rheumatism which made his Jower limbs useless also afflicted his arms,Harrell,lying on bis back so as to wateh his shop, was quick to see every irregularity. A rifle and shot gun by his side,if he saw young colored boys taking an apple,he would call out to drop it,and if not at once complied with, a rifle bullet would knock off the pilferer’s bat,or bore through his clothes,and often the apple was knocked from tbe offender's fingers. A crane with block and tackle was rigged up,and with this Harrell could be hoisted about to make such changes as were needed in his room, which was always neat and ciean, and where whitevisitorsoften gath- eredto counsel with him.The ex- tent of the business done by this bedridden man was often $100 per week,a good amountfor the location, as sales were for small sums.If Harrell ever complained over his lot no one has reported it. Son of Judge Walter Neal Killed. Walter Neal,Jr.,23 yearsold,son of Judge Walter Neal,of Laurinburg, was shot and killed,it is supposed by accident,Monday evening.Re- turning froma hunt with twofriends, he stopped to talk with a friend whom they met in the road,the oth- ers going on.As he dd not return home search was made for him and he was found dead with a large hole in his breast.His clothes were sat- urated with bis blood and theground around bim was covered witha spray. His gun was found lying near him. There was nothing to iadicate how the shooting occurred. |meenaeermeneren=-erevenennrenne amaa—=—| Cultivate the Toad. Raleigh News and Observer.

The interment took piace Sunday. Jim was stricken rather suddenly in Charlotte about two weeks ago and as be became finconscious shortly af- terward it was at first thought that he had beendrugged.Hiscondition showed slight improvement a day or two later and he was removed to the home of his mother at Huntersville, where he remained a few days before being brought to his home here.He was rational only at intervals and _+during one of these intervals Thurs- \..day night he called his relatives and friends around his bed and told them goodbye,saying that be was going to die.

Two Coffins Sent to Bury Jim Header- son,Colored,and the Widow Flas a SurplusOneonHand. Sometimes when one who is not well fixed in this world’s goods passes the Great Divide,there is trouble in procuring s box ip which so stow away the mortal remains. But the circumstances were differ- ent in the case of Jim Henderson, the colored railroad porter,whose death is recorded in anotber column, for there is 8 surplus coffin at Jim’s late bome.McLaelland &Arey,the colored un- dertakers,say that soon after Jim died his wife applied to them fora coffin,plead poverty and said.she would pay for is when she received her insurance money from the Odd Fellows;that they investigated the statement and found Jim had nothin coming to him;that they hesita’ to deliver the coffinin the absence of further assurance as to pay.In the meantime Henderson's wife made arrangements to buy a $40 casket from Mr.G.C.Critcher,paying $20 down,When toey heard this the colored undertakers dejivered a cof fin,placed the dead men in it and gent the box to the grave.The cof- fin bougbt from Mr.Critcber was also delivered and the box sent to the grave.Some of tte dead man’s friends -emoved Jim's remains from the coffin furnished by the colored undertakers and placed it in theone furnisbed by Mr,,Critcber,and io |that coffin Jim was buried.Theex- |tra ocffio,it ‘s supposed,is still at ‘tbe bome of Jim’s widow,as the colored undertakers say they #ill pot receive it,and a law suit is not improbable.

The new ditch was able to carry the water during she late heavy rains, and prior to this wet weather the laad up the stream was dry enough to plow and some isad has been plowed for the coming crop. “Your commitees is unani: of the opinion that the dredging ma- chine is an entire success in every particular.We believe the cost of doing the work is very cheap con- sidering the capacity of the machine and the amount of work and resuite following its use.’’ After remarks on the report by members of the commitses and others; Mr.Forest Fordham,representirsuresmecbid ery of this character,exhibited ptro- tographs of their machinery andtold what could be done with it.

The epidemic of purse snatching in the city was given more serious tone yesterday when an unknown negro attacked an aged white lady, Mrs.“E.J.Alien,near the fair grounds and secured all the money she bad in her possession.Of the frequent brutal attacks upon young white girls in recent years,this as gauit probably stands out as the boldest of them all.

Children. orphanage,he makes no begging ap- MR.JOHNSON TALKS ORPHANAGE. The Editor of Charity and Children Pre- monet That Cause in Statesville Sun- y- Mr.Archibald Johnson,editor of Charity and Children,the paper published in the interest of the Bap- tist orphanage at Thomasville,and one of the best known publications in the State,spent Sunday in town and presented the cause of the or- pbanage at the First Baptist church Sunday morning.In the absence of the pastor,Mr.Maddry,Mr.John- son conducted the service and he preached a good lay sermon,basing bis remarks on James,1:27:‘‘Pure religion.and undefiled before God and the Father is this,To visit the fatherless and widows in their af- fliction,and to keep himself unspot- sed from the world.”’ While presenting the cause of the orphanage,Mr.Johnson made no pitiful appeals in behalf of the poor orphan.He was entirely independ- ent about it.He told his hearers he was no beggar;that beforehe would beg he would go outand plow amule. He told them what the orphanage has and what it is doing and ‘left the “|subject with them,and there is no doubt the response will be liberal. Their orghanage is near the hearts of the Baptist people and they are loyal to it.The orphanage now has 400 children.The institution basa system of water and sewerage that cost $20,000,an infirmary—tbe best of its kind connected with any or- phanage in the South—that was built by the Baptist women at a cost ot $12,000,and the whole plantis light- ed by electricity.Tne farm and grounds embrace more than 400 acres and more land is needed,says Mr.Johnson.Churchesand Sunday schools contribute about $30,000 an- nually to the support of the institu- tion and the amount received for all purposes lasts year was $55,000. The country Sunday schools,or those in villages and small towns, are the most jiberal givers.The city Sunday ools are generally trying to save the childrenin China, says Mr.Johnson.He said in this connection that a.strong Baptist church in one of theleading cities of the State gave $2,600 to foreign mis- sions last year and $400 to the or- phanage..Oo the bend the Sunday school at Lumberton gives $800 annually—the Sunday school alone,not the church—totheorphan- age,while the Sunday school at Scotland Neck gives $60 a month., The Baptist orphanage is the best equipped and the best supported of any similar institution in tbe State. This is not due alone to the fact that the Baptists bave a much larger/|tY¥ membership than any of the denom- inations,butig due to the fact that the cause hasteen properly présent- ed to them by men like Mr.Johnson and others,and about the best work done in bebalf of theorphanageis by Mr.Jobnson through Charity and As in his talks for the peals through the paper.In more than half of the paper theorphanage is not mentioned.But the publica- is such an excellent one that it isa constant source of strength to the orphanage,in addition to she fact that it brings a net revenueof some- thing like $2,000 a year to the or- phanage. Mr.Johnson has many friends in Statesville outside of his own de- nomination and he is always a wel- come visitor here.The only com- plaint of tim is thathedoes notcome oftener and stay longer.

Kitchin and Travis will not be in vain:that it will so arouse them and their legal brethren throughout the State that an effort will be made to change the law that the manslayer cannot at least feel the security he now feels:The action of Powell in theScotland Neck case would indi- cate that he is crazy,and THe Lanp- maxx is informed that be has shown signs for someyears of being men- tally unbalanced.If behad confined his shooting to the iaity he would have litele trouble of escaping on the plea of insanity,but uoder the cir- cumstances he may find it difficult.

Immediately after bis arrest lastweekthenegrowastakenoutofthe city for safe-keeping.He was re- turned early this morning and taken to the court house at daylight to await the calling of hig case in the criminal court.Agreatcrowd gatb- ered early and when attorneys for the defendant,who had been ap- pointed by the court,began argu- ment in behalf of a postponement cf the trial until tomorrow,rumors started through the crowd that a change of venue had been granted. This statement caused one of the greatest demopstrations ever seen in Dallas county and the court house was charged by the mob.Scores of officers,bastily summoned,were overpowered,the locked doorsof the court room were wrecked and the negro,crouched in.acorner praying,was seized by the leaders of the mob.This was in the second story of the building.Outsidethemainbody of the angry crowd was waiting.A rope with a hangman’s noose was ready and when it was announced from the window that the negro had been taken,the rope was thrown in- to.the room.The noose was placed about the prisoner's neck and he waspulledandthrownto-the ground, fighting like a tiger for his life.He struck the pavement on his forehead and,it is believed,fractured his skull in the fall of about 30 feet.

E.C.Duncan,now pointed at as the Republican machine of North Carolina,will have to answer for many sins—some of which he is not guilty,of course,but others thatseemtobelongtohim. Down at Winton,in the first con- gressional district,where Congress- man Small reigns supreme among Democrats,Joseph B.Catus,a mulatto negro,holds the postoffice against all comers.At this time, twelve years after the negro has been disfranchised,it seems strange that the seat of a North Carolina county should have a negro post master,in the face of the fact that the county committee,composed of white Republicans,has made un- ceasing war on him. Mr.Small was appealed to not long ago by someof his constituents who wanted to stand the test exam- ination for census enumerators,and were directed to go to Winton and take them under Catus.Itis alleged that the negro took the white men to a negro school for the examina- tion insteadofto the postoffice.Thisisthestorythatcamehere...Three of the men would not submitto this,but took the matter up with Mr. Small,and later were given an ex- amination at Ahoskie. ‘“‘Why should the capital of Hert-ford county have a negro postmas-ter?’’is asked.‘ Mr.Duncan,whether guilty ornot,is charged with endorsingCatus.The chairman of the countyorganizationhastriedtogetthe Postmaster General to give the job to a white man.It is said that Catusisnotabletoconducttheoffice;hishealthispoor.

Powell,the Scotland Neck gentle- wan who was so handy with bis gunlestFriday,is qualifying himself to enter a plea of ‘’confusional insani- ty.’’He says he bas noreécolleoction of the shooting at all.If he had ‘studied the case of theMecklenburg man who killed a citizen in cold blood and escaped through the plea of ‘‘confusional insanity,”’he would see that he omitted one important detail.The Meckleburg man en- gaged in song after doing his victim to death,but there is no report that Powell sang a note after he had*laid out his three victims.While under ordinary circumstances this omis- sion in Powell’s case mightnotprove Gefective,it is an extraordinary cir- Gunistance that Poweil is up against. Two of his victims are lawyers and are or have been members of the Legisiature.Lawyersstand togeth- @r pretty well—so well that it is difficult to get one member of the professionto prosecute another—and Mr.Powell may experience difficulty im getting the best jegal talent to undertake his défence,the more es- pecially since it is now stated that be is nota man of wealth;while he ean rest assured that the case will be prosecuted by the best talent obtainable. Moreover,one of the men shot by Powell is a brother of the Governor, while the man he killed was a cousin of the Governor,which may mean that if Powell is found guilty he will have small ground on which to base a hope of executive clemency.It is mot asserted thatGov.Kitchin would not give Powell a ‘‘square deal,’’or would not treat his case on the same basis as thas of another under simi- lar coaditions.Bypt it is human na- tare for a man to feel more interest im his own flesh and biood than in those not so closely allied to him. We're all that way in some degree and there's no getting around the fact.: If Powell's victims were ordinary citizens and Powell could command able jegai talent to defend him,the chances for his escape would all be in his favor...Under the circum- stances we believe he will be pun- ished,and he should be.While the shooting is greatiy to be deplored— would be deplorvble,no matter how insignificant the victims—we indulge the hope that great good will result from it.I may mean the turning of the tide against manslayers in North Carolina;it may mean a change in the laws which now give thedefend- ant the long end of the rope in a homicide case;it may mean that bereafter attorbeys for manslayers may not feel called on to exhaust @very means,fair or unfair,legal orillegal,mora!or immoral,to save clients from just punishments;and i may meag that Governors will notbe0freetoexerciseclemency.

During the term of Rockingham Superior Court,at-which Judge Long presided,last week,adiepatob was sent to the papers saying tha? when a jury returned a verdiod of not guilty in a retailing case the court told the jurors that be did nos see how they arrived at the verdict unless they made the prosecuting not warrant,and thathe ordered an- other jury summoned.The infer- ence was that the jury rendering the objectionable verdict was discharg- ed,but this is not the fact.The Reidsville Weekly of last week criti- cised the action of Judge Long,say- ing: ry of 12 men selected from the free- commanded the sheriff to get men in Rockingham county.”’ 12 men are presumed to be ‘‘goodandtruemen—thebest men in Rock- ingham county,”their characters have not been impeached,and be- cause their views did notagree withthoseofhishonorisnoreasonwhy this stigma should have been placed upon them.With ail respect to the court we deny the implication.’ Inasmuch as this has been publish- ed in other newspapers it ts just as well to givethefacts.A citizen who operatedaj‘soft drink’“emporium was indicted in six cases for retail- ing.On the trial of thefirstcasethe sole witness for the State was a man of apparent respectability,who said be bought three bottles of the stuff, drank it and it madehimdrunk.His testimony was not impeached nor his character attacked.No testimony was offered for the defence.Thoat- torneys argued the case and the court told the jury if they believed the witness the defendant was guilty.The jury returnedaverdict of not guilty.The solicitor called another case against the same defendant and the court,presuming that the State had about the same testimony to offer, remarked to the solicitor that the jury in the box bad already passed on the facts and suggested that he could continue the cases or have another jury summoned.He could not say that the jury had made a mistake or that the witness had sworn falsely,but he gave both the benefit of the doubt in suggesting the change.The solicitor accepted the suggestion as to another jury. As it was time to adjourn court Judge Long told the jury then in servioe to return next day and also told the court officer to summon an- other jury as agreed upon,in this connection using the language of summonajury of “‘good and lawful men.’’Nextday additional evidence was put On against the ‘‘soft drink’’ man;{t was shown that he was sell- ing a concoction that analyzed more than 4 per cent alcohol and that he had been operating in defianceofthe courts.He was convicted and pun- ished. The facts show that the first jury made a mistake and that the judge purtued the proper course in tne matter.So far from slurring tbe jury which rendered the verdict of acquittal,or discharging them,that jury was kept in service all the week.Thése are the facts and onthemJudgeLongandhisfriends can afford to rest the case.

Col.Thomas H.Swope was thewealthiestcitizenofKansasCityand chiefly ocoupied for some years pastwithphilanthropicactivities.Dr, B.C.Hyde had married a dependent niece of Colone}Swope againas thewholeSwopefamily's wishes,and the couple made an unwelcome but tol- erated part of the housebold.Ad-mittedly a well-equipped physician, with a brilliant college record in bacteriology and chemistry,Dr, Hyde aroused among the Swopes strong though purely intuitive dis.gust.Upon the Swope household,which was large,there presently fell an epidemic of typhoid fever. As the indictments revurned Satur- day show,one person after another contracted the disease and died.The State contends that Dr.Hyde, wishing to remove Colonel Swope and all heirs except Mrs.Hyde,ob- tained from his fsiiow-physicians a test tube filled with a-culture of the most virulent typhoid germs.Dr. Hyd@e might indeed have practiced this crime and escaped detection bad not Colonel Swope and one of hia nieces shown resistance to the dis- ease,notwithstanding the infection and re iafection presumably admin- istered.So strychnine poisoning was resorted to,it is said,Dr.Hyde,as a trained physiological chemist, skilfully employing arsenicandother poisonousdrugs to render thesymp- toms unrecognizable:It was sus- picions aroused on this score,when taken in connection with the otherdeaths,the presumptivemotive,and his known bacteriological and chem- ical acquirements,which finally led to his arrest.No more remakable case has occurred in tbe criminalannalsofthiscountry.Besides the diabolical,devices which modern science has placed at the educated criminal’s disposal even Borgia ingenuity,which devised rings sure to implant deadly poison throughaminute needle,seems weak and feeble.Parysatis,who poison- ed Alexander the Great’s Persian spouse notwithstanding constant watchfulness against ber malevo- lence,was fairly ingenious when shecarvedachickenwithaknifepois- on-laden on one side.But coming down to the present age we find one of the late F.Marion Crawford's oovels telling us about a Roman no- blewoman who infected a woman shehatedwithscarletfeverthroughthe latter’s table napkin and thereaftersoughttobringdisgraceuponthe hero of the story because she strong: ly suspected that he,half by chance, had penetrated her secret.If Dr. Hyde is found guilty,bis case wi)! long be famous.His very name, completepersonificationoftheevilwhich lurks In man’s dual nature,seems Eleven indictments,containing 13 Dr.Hyde and he is in jail.Two Dr.Hyde is alleged to have given One in- Perhaps the most surprising of all the indictments returned are the eight in connection with the alleged poisoning of the Swope family and visitors and attendants of the Swope household.Dr.Hyde is accused in these indictments,which contain 10 counts,of poisoning with typhoid germs with intent to murder Marga ret Swope,Stella Swope,Lucy Lee Swope,Nora Bell Bickson,Georgia F.Compton,Mildred Fox and Leo-nora Copridge,a colored girl.Allthesepersonswerestrickenwith typboid fever while Dr.Hyde was Dr.Hyde asserts his innocence.

The trouble which has resulted thus fatally grew out of a dispute Sunday between Samuel Stribbling,@ contractor,and a negro named ““Ruddy’’over wages.Ruddy shot and killed Stribbling and Sunday night Deputy Sheriff Matthews was. killed by either Ruddy or one of the Ellis negroes,when the officer,at the head of a posse,had surrounded a house to which bloodbounds had trajied the murderer of Stribbling.

HOW TO CORE RHEUMATISM 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 system80regulated that no more acid will be formed in excessive quantities.Rheumatism is an internal disease and requires an internal remedy.Rubbing with Oils and Liniments will not cure,affordsonly tem- porary relief at best,causes you to delay the proper treatment,and allows the malady to get a firmer hold on you.Liniments mayease the pain, but they will no more cure Rheumatism than paint will change the fibre of rotten wood, Science has at last discovered a perfect and complete cure,which is called “Rheumacide.” Tested in hundreds of cases,it has effected the most marvelous cures.Rheumacide “getg at the joints from the inside,’aweeps the out of the system,tones up the stomach,regulates theliverandkidneysandmakesyouweilallover,Rheumacide ‘‘strikes the root of the disease removes its cause."’This splendid remedy is sold by druggists and dealers generally at 50c.and $i a bottle.In Tablet form at 26c.and 50c.a package.Booklet free.Write to BOBBITT CHEMICALCOMPANY,Baltimore,Md.Tablets by mail,25c.

After a recent visit the discrimi- nating editor of Charity and Children makes this truthful observation con- cerning Statesville: We have no better town thanStatesville.It is high and healthy, with broad and beautiful ‘streets, magnificent buildings,both public and private,a great and growing vol- umé of business and a people noted for their generous hospitality andbroadculture.

Hpiaralitpessoe Mr.Shufoed Thinks The LandmarkDoesHimInjustice—A Word of Comment. TotheEditor of The Landmark:T note ia the Monroe Enquirer8clippingfromtheStatesvilleLanp-MaRK in regard to Mr,Morgan B.Spier.In this connection wouldstatethatIthinkyoudoMr.Spier an injustice,as he was:invited to Hickory to make a talk to the farm. ers.The programme made out by the Department of Agriculture was sent..to.usand some of the farmersmadesomechangesinsame,and Iumakingupsamewefoundwewould like to have a man to talk rural tele- phones,and Mr.Spier was invited to come to Hickory and make this |s talk.There was nothing said in his talk in regard to the Bell ’phone,as wedonotseewhereitwouldbeanyad- vantage to the Bell company if thefarmersofCatawbacountywould organize a rural telephone system. We think it an injustice toourselves and to Mr.Spier,and you sbould make proper notice of this in your paper.Respectfully,W.J.Suvurorp. Hickory,N.C.,March 11,1910. As THE LANDMARK never doesanybodyanintentionalinjustice,itgivesMr.Spier and Mr.ShufordthefullbenefitofMr.Sbuford'sstatement.The Catawba farmers of course have the right to invite any- body.they choose to talk to them on any subject,and there was no reflec-tion on tne Catawba farmers in Tax LANDMARK’s-comments.But the Bell Telephone people do notalways wait for an invitation;they have been known 60 thrust their business into a community against the pro- tests of the people. That Mr.Spier didn’s mention Bell telephone was purely.an act ofdiplomacy;that’s what he was there for and but for thathe wouldn't havegone.If Mr.Shuford or the Cataw- ba farmers think Mr.Spierisengag- ed in helping the farmers to rural telephones purely for the benefit of the farmers,they have several‘*thinks’’coming to them.Is will be of no benefit to the Bell people fortheCatawbafarmerstoorganize fural exchanges if they refuse to connect with the Bell.But if theyhaveBellconnectionsitwillbeof vast benefit to the Beli.That's what Mr.Spier expects themto have and that’s what be was there for. The Bell telephone is one of the biggest trusts in the country.Its soieobjectand aim is to destroy.all in- dependent concerns,al!competitior —proceeding after the manaerof theAmericanTobaccoCompanyandthe Standard Oi!Company—in ordertbatitmayhaveamonopolyofthe wire service of thecountry.Totbis end it has recently obtained control of the Western Union Telegraph| Company.Once'the contro!of the|wire service is obtained,this trust will follow the rale of obber trustschargewhatitpleasesandgivesuch service as it chooses,and the public will be belpless.If Mr.Sbhuford and the Catawba farmers don’t know the ways of this monopoly—all farmers,we believe, profess to oppose these monopolies —they should inform themselves before they are tied up with it.

Dogs vs.Sheep in Mitchell and Dogs About to Win. J.L.Hartley,of Linville,in Boone Democrat I notice in your paper some com- ments on the sheep industry in the South,and in my opinion there is no better paying investment in this section than sheep.Last year I bought 70 ewes for $280 and in lass than six monthsI had made 50 per cent.on the investment.Bui this year,on January 8,dogs gotintomy flock and killed six fine ewes,and the following night killed seven for Mr.Alexander McRay,and are stillkilling.We have in Mitchell county be- tween 300 and 1,000 worthless dogs, and unless the next Legislature wil give us some relief,we will go out of the sheep business and turn the best business’proposition in western North Carolina to the dogs.I hope some man who is interested in sheepraisingwillbeelectedtorepresent Mitchell county,who knows how to sympathize with the farmers whotry to make an honest living.

THE YIELD FROM A SINGLEBEAN. Mr.Rufty ImpressedVWith the Experi- ment He MadeandCemmends theBeantotheyeasa.Money Crop. To the Editor of The Landmark: In this day of progressive farming and of the demgnstrations carried onwiththevariousproductsofthefarm,and with the prevailing highpricesofthesame,I am inclined to believe that the bean should com-mand the attention of the farmers oftoday.I know present prices justifytheattention,for $2:50 per bushel,wholesale,isalow price for thebean:My reason for what I have said is this:There came up in my gardenlastsummerasinglevolunteerbean seed,and as it looked to be a veryheaitbyandpromisingplant,[hoed {sand took care of it,stuck a peach- tree limb in the ground for {t toClimbon,as it proved to be of theclimbingvariety.When the pods began to form they seemed to be of averyfinevariety,so |decided Iwouldsavethemforseed.I gath- ered them as they ripened and putthemsafelyaway.A few days ago I concluded Iwouldshelithemoutandseewhat[ had.I carefully counted the seeds,and what do you suppose the resultwas,from that single bean?I have seen seed beans advertised by seeds men as 1,000 to one and I thoughtthatprettyliberal,so I thought per- haps I would have 600 or 700,bus Ihadaneven1,200 seeds to one,andmybeandidnotgrowinafavorable location,either.Is grew just in theedgeofthegarden,next to tbe yard,surrounded by four fruit trees,allnotmorethan15feetfromthevine.

We want to talk to people who are nervoue,who suffer frequent bead: aches,who don't enjoy their food, who are irritable,quickly !ose theit temper,who are so exbausted thas they fee!they mustgive up,and bave become so des pondent that life does- n't seem worth living.We believe we kpow wat is the matter with these people in this condition,andif they will follow our advice we cap tell them bow to regain good health and that buoysncy of feeling which makes life seem surrounded with bappiness and sunsbine. M>s8¢of the sbove described condi- tions are chiefly caused by what is commonly called catarrb,a ‘‘below par’’condition of mucous mem- branes.This delicate lining of cer- tain of the body cavities becomes weakened,inflamed and congested until the whole system is weakened, mente!depression ensuing as one of the results.The wise way to over- come this condition is through a treatmentof thegenera!system.We bave the treatment,and we are 80 positive it will produce the results we claim for it that we willsupplyit to any one with the understanding that we will return to them every penny paid us in every instance where the treatment is not in every way satisfactory and beneficial to thom. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone,which isa scientifically devis- ed alterative tonic and body builder, ite action being to aid the body inits effort to re-establish the natural and healthy functions of the mucous membranee.

Furniture Company Damaged By Fire Wednesday Night—Prompt Work Sav- ed the Plant. Fire of unknown origin was dis- covered in the southesss wing of tte Imperial Furniture Company's plant Wednesday pight about 10 o'clock and before the flames could be check- ed the upper story of that portion of the buildiog was gutted and consid- erabiedamagedone.Théquick work of employes of the plant,who used the private fire fighting apparatus very effectively,and the promptness of the city fire department,which soon had a stream playing on the flamos,saved the building from total desiruction.The damage as it is, from fire and water,will amount to several thousand dollars.The loss ig covered by insuracce. The fire started in what is known as the printing room,a portion of the finishing department,on tbe second floor of the building,and was discov- ered by the night watchman,who was juss starting on his 10 o'clock round,and by persons living io the neighborhood.Is had gained con siderable beadway and flameg were bursting from one or two widows. Mr.S.L.Parks,who wasat workoa his books in the company’s office when the night watchman gave the alarm,quickly gots number of men together and within a few minutes bad the company’s private hose strung and a stream of water on the flames,and witb unusual rapidity the city fire department reacbed the scene and began fighting the flames. For a few minutes it lcoked as though the entire building was doomed,but owing to the presence of mind and neree of afew men who went inside the building and closed the heavy doors along the center fire wal!,the flames were confined to the portion of the building in which they origi pated and were extinguished within an hour.While tteoriginof thefir, is unkoown,it is possibie thatis was caused by spontaneous combustion. The night watchman made bis regu- lar roued through the building at 9 o'clock and be says there was nofire at that time. The piant bas been shut down since the fire bus will probably re- j sume operations Monday in all de-|pani partments except that in which the fireoccurred.

No doubt each juror was possessed of an abiding faith that he knew moreabouttheJawthanthejudge;but the judge who would concede such,Opinion would stultify the position with which he bas been honored. “As to the ‘good and true men’ Proposition,the termisoneof usage.In ordering another jury a judgecouldmanifestlynotorderthe’sher- iff to choose 12 men both wicked anduntrue,It seems to us that the Criticism of the Review is hyper- sensitive,when it undertakes to make the virtue of the discharged jury the chief issue in the case, They bad clearly demonstrated that, whatever else they might be,they were not proper jurymen. “A judge in such position had two alternatives:totake bis law from the jury,or to give the jury up.Judge Long appeass to have chosen the simplest and most reasonable of these alternatives,’’It_was the Reidsville Weekly,not the Review,that made the criticism, and,as Tue LANpMARK has explain-ed,Judge Long did not discharge the jury for the term but relieved saat particular jury from service in |@onnection with cases against the |defendant on trial.

Lumberton Robesonian, The Lumberton Drug Co.received an order the other day that was a caution.It was for 200 ounces of strychnine.It came from the far State of Washington,Ephrater town, througb Mr.J.D.Sledge,a brother of Mr.R.S.Sledge,manager of the Lumberton DrugCo.,and it is want- ed to poison squirrels that are play-ing bavoc with wheat.Some ideaof the order may be gathered from Mr.Sledge’s statement that his drug store would not sell over half an ounce of strychnine in the ordinary course of business in.two years,and he doubts if there is a wholesale house in the South that carries thasmuchjnstock. {And what a paradise for thesquir- re)hunter wou!d that place be wheresquirrelsaresoplentiful.—Tas LANDMARK.| Where the Insanity Dodge Fell Down.

Tus LANDMARK bas never under wtood why newspapers insist on making exaggerated claims as to the population of their respective towns —as most of them do —seeing that these claims are exploded every ten ‘years,when the Federal censug is taken.Of course it is a matter of pridg.to any newspaper to beable to gay that its town is growing rapidly and prospering,but the claims as to population are often so exaggerated as to be ridiculous,their absurdity being apparent to any casual ob- server.In such cases the town is bart rather than helped, once the public gets an idea that there is exaggeration in one direction they will be more than apt to digcount any claims made for the town.Ayear or twoago adirectory published for Greensboro made the claim of 42,000 and some odd popu- Jation for that town.A directory ‘estimate of population is never reli- able,for the“directory publisher knows a liberal estimate is wanted, and he gives what is wanted,re- g@ardiess of facts.The Greensboro ‘nse caused a horse laugh when ref-erenceto jhe census of 1900 showedthatthewholeofGuilfordcountydid not have 42,000 population. _Recently Charlotte papers havebeenclaiming45,000 to 50,000 popu- Jation for that town and a directory,just published,we believe,claims alidtletheriseof50,000.Seeing that@libera).slice of the territory ofMecklenburgwasrecentlyincluded in Charlotte's limits,outsiders un-famjliar with actua)conditions wereafraidtocallthebluff,although theybadtheirsuspicions.But one citi-sen of Charlotte,Dr.Geo.W.Grabam,fas risen to the occasion.He callsattentiontoshefactthatwhile25,000populationwasclaimedin1900theSensusshowed18,000;that a safebesisofcalculationistheschoolebildren,counting one Pupil to sixfnbabitants.In 1900 Charlotte bad,@ays the doctor,3,000 school childrenandthepopulationshowedup18,091.Mow tbe schoo!roll carries 5,500mamesandonthesamebasisthePopulationwil!be.33,000.With itaextendedlimitsCharlottewillpossi-bly show 35,000 to 40,000.In 1900,when the Federal enumeration fell#0 far shor?of the clsims,Chariotte@elkshowledmightilyandchargedfmacouracy.Our recollection is thattheyhadapolicecensustaken,butthedifferencewassoimmaterialthatlitelewassaidaboutit.The sameyear,if we mistake not,Wilmingtonmadethesamechargeofinacouracyandarecountbyhomefolkefel!un-Gér the census figures.

Washington Dispatch, There was in 1907 a decrease of 6percent.in the number of saloons throughout the country,accordingtotheUnitedStatescensusbureau's forthcoming report on the statisticsofthe158largestcitieswhichhada population of over 30,000 each thatyear.( The report contains complete sta-tistics of the number of liquor Ji- censes fn force at the elose of the li- cense year in each of the cities and tbe number of inhabitants to eachdealerselling}’quor by the drink. More than one-fourth of such deal- ers in the 158 largest cities were re-ported fr3m New York and Chicago; the cities of over 300,000.populat onwishthesmallestnumberofsaloons were Washington (621)and Pittsburg (818),In cities of this class,thelargestnumberofsa!cons in propor- tion %0 the population were in Mil- waukee and New Orleans,where,in the former,there was on6 dealer sell- ing liquor by the drink to every 142 inhabitants and,in the latter,to ev- ery 200 inhabitants.Thenumber ofinbabitantstoeverydealerinPhila- delphia was 761,and in Boston 738. The otter cities having less than 200 inbaoitants to each dealer were Gal-veston 134,East St.Louis 143,Mo-bile 153,Houston 158,Hoboken 168,Sacramenw,Cal.,188,San Antonio 179,La Crosse,Wis.,183,Spring- field,Ill.,188,and Wess Hoboken191. The smallest number of saloons in Proportion to population is shown for the cities of Pennsy!vaniaand Massa-chusetes,and the largestfor thoseof Texas,Ohio and Wisconsin. Politeness as a Policy. Baltimore Sun. Public service corporations that are well managed have adopted po- liteness as a fixed policy.They re- gard the satisfaction of their cus- tomers and the good will of the pub-Hic as a valuuble asset.When the new Hudson river suoways were opened President McAdoo had his empioyes'so trained that they were courteous,obliging,looked after thecomfortsofpassengers,and NewYorkwas-so surprised and delight-ed that it is likely soon to make Mr.McAdoo the chief of its entire sub- way system.The United Railways in Baltimore is a typeof the enlight- ened,progressive corporation that regards the public as its patron and strives tocombine good service with courteous treatment. Tbe Union Pacific railroad has gone a step farther,and hasfoundeda‘‘school of courtesy’’to train its employes in the propertreatmentofpassengers.Manyoth er railroads are now devoting atten- tion to this feature,and there is a notable improvement in the bearing of employes toward passengers. A public service corporation isknownbyitsattitudetowardits patrons and the public generally. For its patrons are not iss serfs or servants,but its customers,and the general public is entitled to consid- eration,whether patron or not.A public service corporation is not de- signed to be a master of the public, but its servant,and it is known byitsattitudetowardthepublic.

Verdict For $1,000 Against a Doctor. A damage suitin MecklenburgSu-perior Court last week resulted in a verdict for $1,000 against Dr.J.A. Austin,a Charlottepractitioner. Miss Daisy Long,the plaintiff,is subjecttoepileptic convulsions.Onenightseveralmonthsagoshesuffer- ed an attack and during the convul-sion fell from bed.The nex’morn- ing she experienced severe pains in her right shoulder and summoned Dr.Austin.She alleged that hemadeaverysuperficialexamination of ber shoulder and ascribed the pats she complained of to a rheu- matic condition following the epilep-hone|tic attack,and that he continued to treat herforrbeumatism.Latershe called in another physician,who dis-covered the dislocation and sent the patient to a hospital,where ber in- jured shoulder was somewhat bene- fited.It was not cured,however,it is claimed,and physicians stated that a complete cure could not be effected without subjecting the in- jured shoulder to an incisive opera-tion,and even this might fail owing to the long standing of the case. On account of the alleged negii-gence of Dr.Austin in treating the case,suit was brought for $10,000 damages and the plaintiff was award- ed $1,000. Judge Biggs Held Against the Thomas- ville Druggist. In the case of Charles B:Thomas, of Thomasville,against the Siate plaintiff sought a mandamus 60 force the board to rene~his license as adruggist,Judge Biggs,in Superior Court,decided against Thomas andupbeldtheactionoftheboardin refusing to reissue the license.

The plan proposed is briefly shis: The city to keep the building in re- pair sod furnish lights and water; that a guarantee fund of $1,000 be reised by private subscription,in snares of $100 each,this fund to for currents if necessary,and to be returned to subscribers,pro rata,without in- terest,as soon as the bospital be- comes seif sustaining;the subscrib- era to the guarantees fund #0 beacom- mittee to supervise the businese of the hospital,in conjunction with the chairman of the beaith committee of tbe board of aldermen;ail qualified physicians of tbe city and county to be invited to cooperate on equal terms in sending patientsto the oos- pital;the executive committee to have power to appointa poysician to attend charity cases who have no choiceofa physician,such physician to receive no remuveration from the executivecommittesor public funds; the executive committse shall en- deavor to interest aii citizans,civic, social and religious organizations in the further equipment and mainte- nance of the bospital. This proposition wasagreed to by she board of aldermen,which agreed $0 subscribe for the city an amount equal to that subscribed by any in- dividual,and a partof the guarantse fund had been subscribed. meeting Tuesday evening it was agreed to proceed on she same lines bud to reduce the amount of tae nbares in the guarantee fund to $25.

The chairman of the meeting 7a3s autborized to appoint a committee of ten—five ladies and five gentlemen —to make a canvass of the town to secure subscriptions to the hospital.

ROCKEFELLER’S DONATIONS. Discussing the latest Rockefeller goheme-of benevolence,the Charlotte Observer,whose remarks arecopied fm another column,regrets thatMr. ‘Rockefeller did not ‘‘express some gense of the wrongs committed by im and bis business associates.” The Observer's apparent innocence is surprising.Surely it does not expect the oil king to give his case away at the very time the court of last resort is considering the meth- ods of the Standard Oil corporation? Rockefeller admit that he and his business associates have done wrong!Never in the world,On the contrary he will contend with his last breath that their methods are not only proper and right,but ttat the Standard Oil Company is 4 gort of benevolent corporation that has ‘helped the general‘public in spite of the opposition is has encoun- tered.Generally when a man en- gaged in illegitimate practices,and who makes no pretensions to religion, is converted,he not only abandons his business,or at least cuts out the illegitimate practices,but be triesas far as possible to make reparation. But Mr.Rockefeller isn’t this sort of man.Those who think he is giving away money as a sort of balm to &troubled conscience are much mistaken.He would resent such an intimation.Mr.Rockefeller has been a professor of religion for years and he is the type of man—tbe most hope: leas of all types so far as changing is concerned—who has worked himself ‘A lot of sentimental folks areal- ways bedeviling tbe Governor to pardon somebodyorto commute& sentence.The Governor had passed on the case of the negro Morrison, electrocuted lastF riday,and yetatthe last moment,according to a Raleigh dispatch to the Greensboro News,he was petitioned to change his mind. Says the dispatch: Early this morning a special de- livery letter came to the Governor urging that a pardon or commuta- tion be granted in the cause of hu- manity in view of the repeated post- ponements made necessary by delay in the installation of the death chair. There was alsoa telegram bearing the signatures of two prominentcitizens, rushed to the Governor just about the time the electrocution was in progress;begging that executive clemency be extended.The Gov- with such a record as he could not in justice to the people of the State be made an object of such clemency in interference with the decree of the court. The negro was respited several times on account of the delay in in- stalling the death chair.A good many people took up the idea that these de- lays caused the condemned man great mental suffering;that each time he was respited he had sufferedaliving death in anticipation and the post- ponement lengthened the torture. With all due respect to those who hold that opinion,in this negro’s case it was sentimental bosh.We have no doubt that every respite gave him hopeandjoy,for itbrought renewed hope that,in the deferring of the evil day,be might fiaally es- cape.But even if there was some- thing in the point raised,which we up to the belief that his methods are|do not for a moment believe,the fact all rignt and sanctioned of the Lord.did not warrant the Governor in He is a clean man morally,gives lib-|saving the life of a criminal with the erally to sustain the gospel and to all benevolent causes.This is accepted as full payment for what reputation of Morrison. But what we started out to say is that the Governor should be relieved others may regard as illegitimate|of sho pardoning power.The respon- business methods.

But it is to besaid of theObserver, that it does not accept Rockefeller’s donations as full reparation for the wrong he has done,so longas hecon- #inues to perpetrate the wrong.So compietely bave the Rockefeller do- nations blinded the general public, that even those who condemn the Rockefeller methods praise the man. Just how tbe man’s business metb- ods can be separated from the man Tux LANDMARK confessesthat it can- not understand.But tbat this is so fm the case of Rockefeller is the strongest evidence of the power of money and the strongest evidence that Mr.Rockefeller’s donations have bought public sentiment,anef- fect which be unquestionably takes into account, Mr.Rockefeller of course deserves -eredit for giving.Tax LanpMaRK would not deprive him of one iota of just praise for his benevolence.It is better that he should dosome good with bis money than tokeepit.But the terrible thing avout the whole business is that his giving tends to ‘vondone the wrong hedoes,I+would be infinitely better shat his money shouid perish w'th bim than thathis giving should condone the Rookefel- ler methods,or teach the rising generation,as is the unquestionable result,that dishonest acquirement of wealth is excusable if one does good with the wealtb.The follow- ing from the pen of one of the most highly esteemed and influential edi- tors in the State illustrates Tue LANDMARK’s meaning:We do nob believe that John D. Rockefeller earned his money in an honest and legitimate way.We be- Heve that the system be organized is one of the most cruel and rapa- cious in the history of trade.WebelievethattheStandardOilCom- pany fattened on injustice and op-pression.But with all this admit- ted;we also believe that Rockefeller is some sort of Christian.ItmaybethatlikeZaccheusheistryingby this means to restore to mankindwhatbehaswrongfullyacquired; or it may bo that he feels bis obligationtotherace,but whatever the motive we believe thatitis promptedbylovetoGodandtohisfellowmen. If Mr.Rockefeller is a Christian and is prompted by love to God and his fellowmen,why does be not quit the practices so justly characterized above?If aman has genuine relig- fon be will quitadmittedly dishonest practices.There is no getting ground that fact;and when Mr the Governor(of an infiniteamountof worry and annoyance,and especially of being embarrassed by political and personal friends who are often em- ployed to use their influence with himto get him to do,through per- sonal pull,what the merits of the case donotwarrant.Butuntilsome other methodof disposingof the cases of executive clemency is recognizad, there should be some way to reach and curb the folks who annoy the Govervor after he has made a decis- jon.When he refuses an applica tion -he should decline to re- open the case uniess he has positive assurance that new evidence has been discovered;and there sbould be some way of punishicg the folks who wire him on the eve of an execution urging bim to change his mind.Is is of course no pleas ure to the Governor to say the word thas takes a life;but he has to con sider his duty to the public,and the sentimentalists who seem to take delight in making that duty as hard for him as possible should be reach ed in some way.

HisNewPianF:A —hag 4 en vee wayMeney— ed in Connection WithHisBenevo- Mr.John D.Rockefeller has been fairly liberal in giving away someof the many millions be has accumulat- ed,As-has been noted,a bill is pending in Congress to incorporatewhatiscalledthe‘Rockefeller Foun-dation,”’the avowed purpose of thecorporationbeingthe“‘acquisition and dissemination of knowledge,thepreventionandreliefofsuffering,and the promotion of any and all ele- ments of human progress.’’While the full purpose of the corporationbasnotbeenstatedindetail,the idoa is that Mr.Rockefeller is to en- dow a corporation which is to exist for the purpose of giving aid toworthy,objects,the purpose in placing the matter in the form of a corporation being to perpetuate theworkafterRockefelier,now an old man,has passed. While Rockefeller bas given many millions to educational and other purposes,many people of whom thegeneralpublicbasneverheardhave given more in proportion to what they have,But the siza of his do- nations have naturally attracted at tention and the manner in which hehasaccumulatedhismoneyhasfor years causedmoreor legs diséussion in coanection with bis gifts.Re ferring to this latest Rockefelier scheme of benevolence,the Charlotte Observer says:‘“We wish very much that Mr. Rockefeller would express some sense of the wrongs committed by him and his business associates.Standing at the birth of an industry which offered possibilities of wealth greater than the world had ever known or will probably ever knowagain,he was also extraordinarily capable and —we say it with reluc-tance —extraordinarily unsorupu- lous.The brute power of capital backed by cunning bas never beenusedbyanyothermanwithsuch junrelenting thoroughness to crush competitors.His organization cor-rupted American railroads-whale- sale,obtaining rebates until the law tardily intervened;it was and re- mains the chief corrupting influence in American politics.Its methods have always been devious,under-ground,concealed,Its ramifications, extending into almost all forms of corporate activity,have become sonumerousandstrongthatpatriotic c'tizens are alarmed lest it either dominate the country altogether or arouse destructive revolts.’’ Discussing the same subjectin alaterissue,the Observer says: ‘Our greatregretin connection with the Rockefeller benefaction arises from the fact that,as offered and ac- cepted,it will almost inevitably make its beneficiaries apologists for whattheStandardOilCompanyinterests bave done and what,their tactics varying as the times change,they continue to do.Its advance effects are already visible.Wedo not hes-itate to say,indeed,that Mr.Rocke- feller will get bis full money’s worth of public sentiment thus directed.Aside from whatever disinterested benevolence he may feel —and wewillinglycredithimwithnotalittle —be must clearly understand and reckon upon the effects otherwise produced.He foregoes noadvantagewhichmayaccruetohimselfortobisheirs.The public makes all the concessions and-the Standara Oil Co:npany,insisting upon the purity of ‘ts past,its presentanditsfuture,makes none.Standard Oil interests, unrepentant,will be fortified almoss impregnably.Thecountry’seduca- tional and charitable institutions, which must make favor with theRockefellerdispensersiftheywould share,will tend te,compete in as- cribing vindication.Mr.Rockefeller,it must be remembered,keeps tho fund under familycontrol.Heholds, by this means,a greater instrument of power than any American ever wie.ded before.Mr.Andrew Carne- gie has no special axetogrind unless by promoting his own personal fame,and his college professors’pension fund is a comparatively small affair, yet the spectacle of supposedlystrongcoilegesgrovelinginfearjesttheybecutofforleftoffshowshow powerful such instruments really are.Because,therefore,Mr.Rocke- feller does not free his gift from im-plications equally undesirable and inevitable when left attached,we cannot accord it as hearty a welcome as we otherwise could.’’ The Observer states the case well. Mr.Rockefeller is buying publicsentiment—and bas been buying it all these years—with his gifts. Notwithstanding,as has been said, his gifts are not so great in propor-tion to his means as those of thous- ands of others,their immensity at- tract-attention andadmiration.Mr. Rockefeller must bea good man,theysay:He can’t be as bad as he ispainted;and forthwith Standard Oil methods have a thousand apologists where they had one.Mr.Rocke-feller ia doubtless sincerely benav-olent and desires to do some good with his millions.But it requiresnogreatefforttobebenevolentwhen one has more money than he knows what to do with,and he must be verycredulouswhodoesnotbelievethat Mr.Rockefeller is notinadvertentto the vast benefits whichhisgifts willbringtotheStandardOilCompany’s methods by wayof public sentiment.

Baltimore Sun. Salih Pasha,the boss of the Turk- ish War Department,bas just placed an order with aGerman manufacturerfor1,250,000 table forks for the use of tbe Ottoman army.At present the fork is an implement rarely hon- ored by the Moslem high private. Like the sturdy burgher of Switzer- land,the earthlingof Sweden and the honest peasant of New Mexico,heemploystheknifeforallgustatory purposes.His favorite bladecomesfromDamascusandisduilalongone edge and ground to razor keennessalongtheother.With thatone knifeheslayshishornedcattle,shaves himseif,opens bis mail and derricks his food.aeWehavenodoubtwhatever that when those German forks are issued to the Turkish soldiers and they are ordered to use them there will be mutinies in all the barracks,followedbytheusual.massacres of Arme- nians.Our sympathy goes out,not alone to the Armenians,but also tothesoldiers.The eating fork is a dangerous and useless instrument. Foppishness,true 6uough,has in- vested it with acertain glamour,butwhathavesimpleMosleme,or any other honest folk,todo with foppish- ness?We always envy and respect, indeed,that man who ig strongenoughto'eat boldly with the knife in the faceof social ostracism and fas- tidious sneers.It was not until the 17bh century that the table fork begantodriveout the protean rapier of the ancients.William Shakespeare,when he went to dine at the Devil Tavern,employ- ed but two weapons at table—the spoon andthe knife,The fork wouldhaveprovokedhissnickers.The immense battery of fantastic fish forks,salad forks,prune forks,stew forks and goulash forks which bur- dens the modern dinner table and tor.tures the untutored diner—at sight of that preposterous army of cutlery he would have roared. Government Cruiser to Liberia. Philadelphia Dispatch,18th. The United States eruiser Bir- mingham,Captain Fletcher,has been orderedto proceed forthwith to Mon- rozuia,Liberia,on the north west coastofAfrica.This action was taken upon the urgent request of the gov- érnment of Liberia,which has rep- resented to,the State Department that it is powerless to hold in check therebellioustribesnowinrevolt against them.It appears that the tribes of Gre- boes,a powerful people inhabitingtheregionoftheCaballyriver,ad- joining French territorytothe south-east of Liberia,have rebelled against the Liberian government and arebesiegingthetownofHarperatCape Palmas,where there are considera- ble American missionary interests. Theobjectof theinsurrection seems tobetoforcetheLiberiangovernment to purchase peace.The Liberian government requested,through the American legation,that the United | States send a gunboat to Liberian waters so as to add prestige to its efforts to regain and assert its au-thority over the dissatisfied natives. Under thetreaty of 1862 Liberiacon- fers upon the government of she United States the right to intervene on their request in such affairs. Federal Government to Take Charge of a Confederate Cemetery.

J.A.STIKELEATHER, One Reason For a Shortage of Corn. Taking note of a recently publish- ed statement of Dr.H.Q Alexander, president of the Stace Farmers’ Union,that whereas there was form- erly an abundance of corn to sell in the rural districts in this part of the State,there is none $0 sell now ahd many farmers haye to buy,an observant citizen of Ire- dell suggests that this is partially due to the abandonment of-bottom land.Formerly thousands and thousands of,bushels of corn were produced with little effort on rich bottom lands in this partof theState, where not a bushel Js now grown, thousands of acres of this formerly fertile land having been abandoned on account of overflows,and the farmers generally not yet having been able to bring the uplands toa high state of cultivation. There is undoubtedly much inthis suggestion.The loss of the corn produced on bottom lands has by no means been made up by upland cul- tivation,and this with the increased consumption accounts for the short-eae.be Thos.L.Swicegood has been ap- fo nted postmasteraiCooleames vice .HH,Oaudel,removed.

GOOD 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 3dc,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.rs We expect to offer some prizes for the best yields of corn and cotton and will announce the plan later.

As we see it,only barm can result from it.The people of the State have voted for prohibition and many people who are by no means enthusi- astic probibitionists are not in favor of reopening the question.If it be waid that the law is not enforced— which is true of localities —the an- ewer is that it is the duty ofall good citizens to help create a sentiment for law enforcement—for the enforee- ment not only of the probibition laws but of all laws.We are of the opin- jon that a large majority of the peo- ple of the State now favor State pro- hibition,and without entering into ®,sgny discussionofthecase,Taz LAND- 4mark is in favor of their having what shey want.To that end this paper will continue,in the fusure as inthe past,to cry aloud for law enforce- ment —the erforcement of all laws and the punishment of the guilty. ———— The esteemed editor of the Char- lotteChronicletbusdelivershimself: The depot builders have gone to sleep.We might remind Judge Clark,of the Statesviie Lanpmark,‘tbat some time ago they surveyedthedepotpropertyoftheSouthernrailwayatStatesville,this looking t>the building of a new depot there.The chances are that there is goingtobeatangleaboutthelines,whileshecorporasioncommissionishold-dag the plans insoak.If TueLanp-MARK will have something to sayaboutthenewdepotforStatesvilleeveryday,it may get it by the timeitchaugesitsvolumetoXXXVIIL.Eternal chunking upis the priceofanewdepot.- This means that if Toy Lanpwark will change its issue to a daily—iswillbavetodothattohammerthedepotmatterdaily—about a yearfromnextsummertheStatesville station will getunder way.Wemust decline Yor the present toadoptsuchstrenuousmeans.The matter beinginthebandsofthecorporationcom-mission it would seem to be thatbody’s business not to allow theSoutherntoJagonthisproject,ag itbasbeendoing.The members ofthecommissionwanttorememberthatthieiselectionyear.Mr.SamRogersisgoingtoquit—whereof wearesorry—but Clerk Henry ClayBrown,who is an importan part ofthecommission,wants to succeed“him and Col.Brown will.take notinethatweexpecthimtogetbusyifhewouldmakeafavorableimpression.The people want corporation commis- sioners who do things.

Mr.F.D.Alexander,an insur- ance agent of Charlotte,has «space in the Charlotte Observer for adver- tising purposes in which he some- times expresses opinioas about other matters than insurance.For in- stance,his space last week contained 4 the following: Next Sabbath being Easter,you will observe all houses of divineworshipwellfilledwithmorepride than piety.Those ‘‘beautiful spring hats’’will be on show —and by theway,over 90 per cent,of them will not be paid for.Credit 60-90 days and scores of them will never be paid for.

In 1858 Miss Crosby was marriedtoAlexanderVanAlstyne,who aisowasblind,He was a musician of ability and set some of his wife’sbestknownversestomusic.Mr.Van Alstyne died in 1902 and sincethenthehymnwriterbasresidedwithanieceinBridgebort,receiv- ing a comfortable pension from the publishing firms who reaped largeprofitsfromherwork. Probably the best known of the thousands of bymns that have comefromMissCrosby's pen are ‘‘Safein the Arms of Jesus,’’‘Jesus the WaterofLifeWillGive,"and ‘‘Jesus, Keep Me Near‘the Cross."’Inaddi- tion to her hymns she has written numerous songs,many of which were familiar everywhere a generationago. A Musical Instrument With Unmention-able Name. Baltimore Sun. The balalaika impends,a new and most unpleasant rival to the mando- lin,the concertina and the banjo. It comes from Russia and it erpillars and Ari lasteadBullfrogs.‘New York Dispatch, Jobn J.Fox,chairwan of localschoolboardNo.26,borough of the Bronx,bas discovered a peril—a per- fectly new peril.Prominent in itis the tad pole,-abetted by the grasshop per aod backed up by thecaterpillar.Mr,Fox finds that our school chil- dren study such things too much, neglecting what is really worthwhile.Hence the new peri],which seemingly outolasses in bis mind the money and yellow perils,popularly supposed to be theclassiest perilsin the horizon. Friday night Mr.Fox introduced a resolution before the board of which he is chairman,asking thas it be adopted and a copv sent to theboardofeducation.The resolution read: ‘Resolved,That we,themembers of local school board No.26,having in mind the interest of the parents and the welfare of the children,do hereby record our emphatic disap provai of that feature of our educa- tional system which subordinates grammar to grasshoppers,reading to caterpillars,speliing to golden rod,arithmetic to bu!lfrogsand pen-manship totadpoles. ‘Resolved,That we attribute totbeseandotherequallyreprehensi- ble fads the atrocious English thatis spoken by the school childrenof this city,within the very shadow of our grammar schools,from the lips of boys and girls old enough to sppak correctly the languageof thecountryoftheirbirth. ‘Resolved,Thatthetimehascome when the taxpayers and parents should inaugurate a movement for the extirpation from our schoo!sys tem of all the nonsensica!fads that have crept [oto it duringthelast few years,and which inure only to thevenefitofthosewhoteachthesub- jects,write the text books or profitbytheirpublication.Officialsof the board of education,as well as theprincipalsandteachersinourpublic schools,are the servants,nod she masters,of the tax-payers.It is their duty to furnish to ourchildren not a table d’hote education,with has frills and fads reflecting the versatil-siready taken London by storm.|ity of she chef,but such a course ofBeforelong,unless Congress quickly to the rescue with drasticiegislation,is will invade.our fair republic,filling the air of freedomwithitsdiscordsanddrivingal! honest music-lovers to alcobo!andarzatbetics.

The Prohibition Laws. Wadesboro Ansonian. If prohibition laws are not enforc-ed,some people who are really op- posed to thé sale of whiskey,willagainfavorthesaloonwithhighli- cense and rigid restrictions.Many people who oppose prohibition and favor whiskey under any circum- stances,are quick to useevery effort possible to prevent the enforcement of law.Some of these people can make elcquent speeches about the “‘honor’’of the man who refuses to tell where he got ‘‘it’’in order thathemayshieldablindtiger.They admit that the buyer is as guilty as the seller,but prate around about his honor and in this.way make him think it’s a good and grand thing toshieldacriminal,provided he hasti’s done anything worse than violate the prohibition law.Such.teachings will eventually make some people think that they have arighttoselect from the statute books just such laws as they please to obey and,forsak- ing all others,go blindly on pro- tecting their guilty pals and theirhonor.

An Awful Toll Collected by Con- sumption.Many Unnecessary Deaths From This Disease. If people could only understand that systemic catarrh is an internal disease that external applications cannot cure,they would rot need to be warnedsooften aboutthis malady, way oftentimes for consumption,at she cost of milliong of lives every year.Yet catarrh may be cured,if the right treatment is employed. Catarrh is caused by ageneral dis- eased stateof thesystem which leads commenly «annoying and perhaps serious loca!conditions,which may prove a fertile breeding ground for germs of consumption.External remedies give but temporary ease.
