The only person en the train be-sides the trainmen was a hobo who was beating a ride on one.of the cars which was wrecked.He aided mate- rially in spreading the alarm by yell- ing murder,fire,ete.>and when the crowd gathered he declared he was badly hurt.The first physician toarriveexaminedhim,but found only ‘a slight wound on.his ankle. The body of the dead engineer was sent to his home in Spencer on the first train going east end Mr.Huddle’s body went to Asheville on the first westbound train.Mr.Boyd’sbodypassedthroughStatesvillelast night en route to Mooresville,being transferred here from No.12 to the Charlotte train. The wreck blocked traffic until late yesterday afternoon.West-Lound enger train No.15,which passed tatesville’shortly after six o'clock, ran on to the wreck ana on the arriv-al of oe train No.22 passen- gers were transferred.Trains Nos.11 and 36°were annulled.‘Messrs.Eagle and Huddle were both married men and leave families. It is understood that Mr.Boyd was to have married a yeung lady of Ca- tawba next month. An Ancient Warrant and Its Effect- iveness. J.F.Murdock,Esq.,of Shiloh town- ship,was showing e Landmark a few days ago a warrant issued by his grandfather,J.W.Murdock,better known as ‘Squire Jo.Murdock,in 1844.The warrant was on account of a due bill for $13 and the constable or other lawful officer was directedinthewarranttoproduce“the pee of the party aforesaid before the magistrate.The warrant was issued on the 12th of March,1844,and onthe13thofAugustofthesameyear the magistrate gave judgment for theplaintiffandauthorizedtheofficerto sell the necessary amount of the de-fendant’s personal property to satis-fy the warrant.The judgment igivenonthefactofthewarrant,a blank being provided for that pur-pose.It will be seen from this that in theolddaysamanwhofailedtopayhisdebtswashauledupthesameasinacriminalaction.Tn these mod-ern days he is served with a summons and he need not obey the summonsunlesshewantsto,but if he fails toappearjudgmentgoesagainsthimbydefault.bah .’Squire Murdéck also has an old4dination sermon was by compass which was brought to thiscountrybyhisgreatgrandfather.

The case is an unfortunate and de-plorable one.The husband and fath- er alleges that the mother and chil- dren left him without,cause,while the mother,in her answer to the ye tition of her husband,alleges that she and her children were mistreated and driven from home.There areelevenofthechildren,but the fath-er seeks to recover the possession of only five,four girls and one boy be- tween the ages of 4 and 13 years. There is one younger and five older children in the family.All the chil- dren except the three oldest,who are hired out,are living with their moth-er on the Marshall Long place in Cool Spring.According to Mrs. Barkley’s statement she was driven from home by her husband in Decem-ber and all the children except two of those under litigation left with her, and these two joined her about two weeks ago.The father alleges that the children,particularly the two last to leave,were enticed away from him.Judge Long questioned four of the children as to whom they would rather live with and all wanted to gowiththeirmother.Finally the judge stated that inasmuch as It was only a short time until court he believed he would give the two oldest of the five to their father and allow the others to remain with their mother. When this statement was made thelittlegirl,who was ordered into thestodyofherfather,immediately Gesu erying and ner little brother hung his head.The judge again ask-ed them who they wanted to go withandtheyansweredinfavorofther.He then put it up to the father and his counsel.e scene was touching and the father was not long in answering through his counsel that he was willing for all the chil- dren to remain with the mother un- til the final hearing;ana he also ex- pressed his willingness to contribute to their support. The indictment against Mr.Bark- ley for abandonment .was made by the grand jury of the last term of court at the instance of Mrs.Bark- ley.

Testimony of the Witnesses Failed toShowLutherFeimsterWasRe-sponsible and He Was,Discharged. dozen witnesses in the case of Luther Feimster,colored,charged with beingresponsibleforthedisappearanceofEstelleCowan,the missmg colored girl,Justice Lazenby discharged Feimster and all witnesses who hadbeenheldinjailwithhim.The hear-ing took place at the court house Friday morning at 10:30 and if any of the witnesses Know ahything of an incriminating nature againstFeimstertheydidnottellIt.It was very evident,however,that none of them was anxious to testify.They had to be lead and coaxed.Feimster did not take the stand and showed no signs of uneasiness whatever during the hearing.Both the prosecuting and defence had counsel,but therewasnospeech-making.When the State’s evidence was concluded the prosecution announced that it realiz- ed nothing had been developed to justify holding Feimster longer andthecourtorderedthedischargeof the defendant and all witnesses. Mitch.Cowan was the first wit- ness examined.He said the missing girl was his half stster and he had seen her in company with Feimster. Viola Allison saw Estelle Cowan during the afternoon before the nightofherdisappearance.Estelle was at the home of the witness and talked and:laughed as usual.Witness had seen her with Feimsver a number of times. Dave Stevenson testified that he was with the Cowan girl.Thursday afternoon before her disappearance, when Luther Feimsrer called to see her.Luther and the girl went into an adjoining room and Stevenson left.There was no ene else in the house at the time.Luther and the girl talked so low that Stevenson did not hear what they said before he left.Stevenson saw the girl last the Saturday before her disapperance. He had seen Feimster with her on several occasions but had never heard him make any statements about her. Louisa,Lyons said she was at her home the night the Cowan girl dis- appeared.Luther Feimster came to her house that night about 10 o’clock and spent about a hatf hour.He said if anybody came there and asked for him he would kill her if she told he wag there.Feimster looked frighten-ed.and didn’t have much to say.He was there next the following Sat- urday night.Lottie Carson,who makes her home with the Lyons woman,was at home when Feimster called the night of the Cowan girl’s disappearance and heard his threat—that he would kill her if anybody called for him andtheytoldhewasthere.She had never heard Feimster talk that waybeforeanddidn’t know what made him say what he did.

Mann’sa Return.ta Virginia—The Execution and the History of ’the Crime,-3 Richmond,Va.,Dispatch,March 28, Mumbling a prayer and crying half audibly that”hé was ready to,go, Floyd Allen,whose refusal to accept a short prisonsterm for a minor of- fense led to the wholesale court mur- der in Hillsville one year ago,limp- ed to the death chair in,the State penitentiary today,11 minutes ahead of Claude Swanson Allen,his son. The sentence of the court,held up for six hours while desperate and dramatic.efforts wére being made to save the condemned men by elev- enth-hour appeals tothe Lieutenant Governor,was speedily ordered to proceed when Governor Mann hasten- ed back to Virginia soil to take charge of a situation which was sensational and exciting to a degree.The pris- on superintendent,acting entirely within the law,agreed at 2’o’clock this morning to postpone the execution, giving Attorney General Williams an opportunity meanwhile to pass upon the constitutional right of Lieuten- ant Governor Ellyson to interfere. But the young son of Governor Mann reached his father in Philadel- phia by telephone less than an hour after the delay had been ordered and by 8 o’clock today the Governor was again on Virginia soil.Incensed,as it afterward developed,by the unex- pected effort to take advantage of his temporary absence when he had_re- peatedly refused clemency,the Gov- ernor boarded an early morning train, arriving in Richmond at 11.80 o’clock. On the way he telegraphed the Sec- retary of the Cammonwealth that he would be in Virginia by 8 o’clock. This information suddenly checked the plan of Allen sympathizers in further urging the Lieutenant Gov- ernor to interfere. While every proceeding had halt- ed,pending the Governor’s arrival, word reached police headquarters that a crowd had assembled at the station, patrolmen,detectives and plain clothes men being hurried there to prevent any demonstration.When the Governor stepped on the platform he was quickly surrounded by officers who escorted him to a taxicab which took him quickly to the capitol. In his office at the State prison, Superintendent Wood was pacing ‘the floor nervously as he awaited devel- opments.The situation there had be- come more intense.Precisely at noon the superintendent was ca'led to the telephone. “The Governor of Virginia is at his desk,”was the message he re- is very different from other towns thelotforwhichUncleSam_will310,000 could haye been bought bytheprivateindividualforhalfthatorthereabouts.But it is always thatway.People who deal squarely withtheindividualhavenoconscientiousscrupleswhentheygetachanceatFederal,State,municipal or countygovernmentorapublicservicecor-poration.Of course there is no dif-ference in the moral wrong of cheat-ing the government or a corporationandcheatingtheindividual,but mostfolksrefusetoseeitthatway.etetee ea ee pay When Floyd Allen and the other‘Allens were defying the law and its officers in Carroll county,Va.;refus- ing to submit to the regulations which all good citizens cheerfully observe; and.terrorizing and maltreating their neighbors who incurred their ill will, they were mighty prave (7).But when the law,long outraged and de- fied,at last laid its hand on these he- roic.{2}desperadoes and justiceswiftandterriblebroughtthemface to face with the penalty for their mis- deeds,‘they were critiging cowards.True ‘Claude -Allen went’to his death with a swagger but all the power that ‘could “be invoked had been brought to bear to save his life.That is the real desperado.He is might}brave (7?) and heroic (7?)so long as he can ter- rorize and hurt somebody.He has neither compassion nor consideration for the sufferings of others.He jeers their distress and shows utter con- tempt for their rights.But when he is brought to face the penalty for hismisdeedsthebraveheroandpictur- esque desperado cringes and begs, One could think better of him if he faced the end with courage and asked no quarter.But at heart 99 out of every 100 of the desperado type arecowards.They run their course by terrorizing others.

Just after sunrise the Allens prac- tically collapsed-when informed that a half-day respite had been granted by a combination of legal and tech- nical circumstances as strange as anythathadeverbeenpresentedtoa court of justice.Claude Allen,who had retained his nerve throughout the trying ordeal in his behalf, gasped and trembled,but he regain-ed his composure as he noted thehopelessanddejectedappearanceof his aged father in the cell across the corridor.As the morning hours pass- ed they sat with their spiritual advis- ers,but they nerved themselves againfortheendwhentheyheardthatGov- ernor Mann had returned to Virginia.Men prominent in official circles of the State,who waited in the capitol for a final plea to the Governor,were turned away,as his secretiry hand- ed’out his statement from the Exec- utive:; “Hearing at five minutes to 3o’elock this morning of the action"taken in the Allen case after I left the city,I considered it my duty to hurry back.!.simply desire to re-peat that after the most careful ex-amination of the evidence in this case,.I have not the slightest doybt of the guilt.of Floyd Allen and Claude: Allen,andI will not interfere.The law must take its course.” _What brought forth the greatest indignation from the Governor wasthereportedfactthattheplantoap- peal to.the Lieutenant Governor was agreed upon a week ago.While therewasnointimationfromLieutenantGovernorEllyson:that he would in-terfere,his willingness last night toawaitawrittenopinionfromtheAt-torney General,who had already rul-ed verbally that he was without au-thority,was accepted outside to mean that the life of Claude Allen might be spared.Governor Mann,however, cut through the maze of uncertainty and doubt by hastening home.The jury which under the law isrequiredtowitnessallexecutions,as-sembled outside the penitentiarygatesshortlybeforexo’clock,ming-ling with the crowd.The _pro- gramme as originally announced wascarriedoutwithoutchange.While two ministers,who have been unfalteringintheirloyaltytothecondemnedmen,were telling them goodbye,the pris-on superintendent step into thecorridorwhich‘separated the cells offatherandsonandreadthedeathwarrant..Floyd Allen,still limping from thewounds.he received,in the Hillsville court battle,said’the ,last tearfulfarewelltohis:boy.and went withtheprisonguardstothedeathcham-ber.A an escaped him as he satinthechairwhilethestrapsandelectrodeswerebeingfastenedabout } ent that he was dead.Thspeedilytee body was him.The current was turned on at1.22)o’clock and in four minutes.thesurgeonmotionedtothesuperintend- Again the chair was tested while seat he moved his arms to aasist the and unafraid.When the autopry hadbeen.performed the bodiesenovertoVictorAllen,Floyd’sbywhomtheyweretakento burial.

Flood waters receded sufficiently Friday night to show that the number of persons drowned in all the affect- ed cities in Ohio and Indiana may not exceed 500.While many persons were still missing to friends and relatives,investigations made Friday indicatedthatmanyweresafewhichhadbeen thought lost. In Dayton,O.,careful estimatesplacedthenumberofdeathsat200 or less,although a.meeting of the un- dertakers asserted that the total might be 800.Relief work went onrapidlyinDaytonandallpartsof the city were reached. Columbus will have the next to theJargestlossoflife,60 bodies havingbeenfoundintheinundatedportion of West Columbus up to Friday night. Unverified figures for Miamisburg, hO.,give 50 dead.but in all other flooded cities the figures fell off rap- ground,Chillicothe and Tiffin,0O., where there had been reports of 50 or more dead,each found 18 corpses up to Friday midnight.The best fig- ures from Piqua gave a death toll of 50 persons.Fremont and Middle- town each had 14 dead;Missilon 5, Zanesville 4 and Troy 9. The Indiana total drowned receded to fewer than 50 distributed as fol- lows:Peru 20,Brookville 16,Fort Wayne:6,Terre Haute 4.No bodies were found in West Indianapolis; where as many as 200 deaths were at one time reported. The morgues of Colubmus,O.,filly ed up slowly Friday night as the swol- len waters of the Scioto’slowly re- ceded.Through the somber tempo- rary morgues hundieds of shivering survivors passed,dreading to find the faces of missing loved ones on the hastily improvised wood slabs.Twen- ty-three bodies lay in a temporary morgue on the east bank of the Scio to and 20 more were placed inafire engine house on the hill top,just west of the flood district.Several bodies lay in small undertaking shops in va- rious parts ‘of the city. While dead bodies were picked upwhereverfoundduringtheday.the energies of the authorities were ¢i rected toward rescuing the thousands marooned in upper stories,cn roofs and in trees throughout the flood rone. For miles along the swollen river there are great dritts of debris,the wreckage of houses swept away and demolished.The debris had formed great banks held togéther by the thick mud brought aown by the rivy- er.Practically all of the bodies re- covered have been taken from the edges of these drifts as the waters receded and the authorities lelieve that many more are buried in the de- bris.No attempt can be made to search these drifts until the water subsides.Great distress among the survivors was caused by separation of families and the consequent dread that the missing had been drov ned, Since the rescue work began nearly 100 children of the flood have been born.Friday night the authorities opened a maternity hospital!where the new mothers among the surviv- ors,with their babies,were taken and eared for.

HOW:KANGAROO GOT NAME. Different Names For the Same Ani-mals—Some Interesting Natural History. Anonymous. The kangaroo came by his nameratherstrangely.When first Aus-tralia was discovered a sailor point- ed to a kangaroo and asked a native what they called that animal.The poor black man having never met an Englishman before,had no idea whatthesailorwastalkingaboutandre-plied in his own-language,kangaroo,that is,“I do not understand.”Thesailorfoolishlysupposedthiswasthenameoftheanimalinthe,Australiantongueandeversincewehavecalledtheanimalkangaroo,“I do not under- stand.”A curious mistake occurs also in the word crayfish,The name wasborrowedfromtheFrench,who callthislobster-like animal crevisse.TheEnglishthoughtthatbecauseitlived in’the water it must be a fish,saystheRajaYogaMessenger;and sowealwayscallitthecrayfish.Of course the little creature is no more a fish than a seal is a fish,or aspongeoranoyster,although they also live in the water. The large American cat known as the puma is very rich in names,which fact leads to no little confusion in themindsofyoungstudentsofnatural history.The early Puritan settlers in New England named the animal the painter,meaning of course panther, because in shape and size it strongly resembles this fierce carnivore of the Old World.He also received the name catamount,which was shorten- ed down from cat of the mountain. The reddish color of the fur of some of the specimens suggested the nameredtiger,while in certain places it was given the more majestic name ofmountainlion.In South America one of the native names was cugua- cuara,but we have very sensibly knocked off four of the six syllables and shortened it to cougar. The puma has such a wide range, being found from Canada to Patago- nia,that naturally enough it receives a different name in the various coun- tries and localities which it inhabits. Six names for one animal.No won- der readers of books of travel get confused. When an animal becomes known for the first time to Mnglish-speaking people they usually adopt the name it goes by in its native country.Thus our word camel is evidently the He- brew name for that animal,gamal,which has become slightly changed in the course of time.Sometimes we use a purely Eng- lish compound word in place of the native name of the animal,which of- ten seems a great pity.The Red In- dians speak of the wishton-wish when they mean that pretty little marmot of the plains which we refer to as the prairie-dog.It is not of the dog family,being far more nearly related to the guinea-pig than to the mastiff or the wolf. The name guinea-pig was bestowed by a most unfortunate mistake.This little household pet is a cavy and not along the various paths they developa“train of thought.”Walking natur-ally is a developing influence,-bothforthemindeatthebody.Just as the motion sets the muscles busy insomewhatthesamewaythebrainbe- comes busy,and the act of contem- on upon some subject is engagedn. _The same law obtains when the girls offend,but it is rarely that any of them are seen in line.They haveadifferentbeat,however.A few havebeensoindiscreetastotransgresstheirprivileges,but being girls,and more susceptible to corrective infiu- line duty.

MESSAGE TO FARM GIRLS, Urged to Join the Tomato Club—Miss Arey Tells of the PossibilitiesForGirlsontheFarm. Correspondence.of The Landmark. Many of our country girls.thinkthatlifehasnothinginstorefor them,but they must wake up to thefactthattheyareimportanttothe world.It is the duty of every girl— a duty which she owes to God and to humanity—to do something to maketheworldbetterforhexhavinglivedinit.Girls,wake up to the possi- bilities which await you-——right on the farm,too.Don’t think the glitter of town means happiness,for “all is not gold that glitters.”The Tomato club is an organization to_help_the country.girl._It-isan avenue by which girls who have a determination,perseverance and a desire to learn may improve them-selves and the size uf their purse al- so.Some of the 1912 Tomato club girls made a net profit of $100 on their one-tenth acre,besides,the prizes won.Think,too,of the agri- cultural knowledge gained.The clubs teach how to use head and hands,to study and respect poth agricultural and household service.They are op- ening the way for many girls to at- tend college who otherwise would be debarred from this blessing. It is a common saying among the farmers that if one wants to farm he doesn’t need any schooling.The same rule holds good with the girls.If you are going to stay on the farm and cook you do not need any education. Girls,how long are you going to let things remain in this state?It liesentirelywithyoutogay.The farm can be made the best place on earth, or the unhappiest,or any place be-tween,according to the intelligence of the farmer and his wife. When more young girls choose do- mestic science and home-making as a vocation and prepare for it,instead of cooking and keeping house because they have it to do,we will have some of those ideal homes that we know are to be on the farm some day. So once more,girls,let’s be wp and doing,and do it now.Make a good start by joining theGirls'Tomato club. The following girls have become ac-tive members of the club:Lillie and Willie Fleming,Ruth Arey,Pearl Smith,Gertha Smith,Elmwood;Clyde and Sara Scroggs,Marie and Madge Sherrill,Elizabeth Orr,Amy and Ma-bel Stikeleather,Florence Mitchell, Nettie Stevenson,Statesville;Mary Winecoff,Thelma Smith,ColinaCaldwell,Sadie Ostwalt,Ada Perry, Myrtle Bradshaw,Iva Haithcox, Troutman.BEULA AREY, Co,Agt.Girls’Tomato Club.

Secretary Daniels is right.It has never seemed to The Lanamark that it was the square thing for navy or NORTH IREDELL ROAD AGAIN. A History,of theheCase—Criticism of the County Commissioners. To the Editor of The Landmark: “There being a controversy over the location of the last few miles of the central north Iredell road,in which |! dispute Gumphead and “A Yadkin Citizen”have represetited through your paper the opposing factions,I respectfully ask to be allowed to give the history of the case thus far,for the benefit of all concerned—and they are many. The road in question is the States- ville-Jonesville-Elkin road,which has been surveyed and practically com- pleted..to the Salisbury-Wilkesboro- Taylorsville road at a point a little north of the center of Union Grove township.The controversy pertains to the location of the remainder of the road,whether it shall follow the present general route of;traffic via Warren’s bridge to the Wilkes line near the corner of Yadkin,as_con- tended by Gumphead et al,or leave the main route and go to the Yadkin line via Howard’s ford,as contended by Yadkin citizen,and which has been authorized by our board of commis- sioners. The policy of locating the main thoroughfares of the county as near- ly as practicable on the established routes of traffic having been vouch- safed to the people in the bond cam- paign and having been followed by the old board of commissioners to the general satisfaction of the public,it was supposed and confidently believ- ed by those affected in this case that the road would be built after that manner.But during the last cam- paign and up'to the time the new board of commissioners was organized a rumor that a citizen near the Yad- kin line (the only one living -direct- ly on the lower route),was going to ask for the road was circulated in that section.In fact said citizen op- enly remarked that he was going to have the road,that it had been prom- ised him,etc.But to locate the road that way would be so palpably im- practicable and such a radical depart- ure from precedent the people paid llittle attention to such expressions, However,at the first meeting of the newly elected board said citizen ap- army cadets to get their education | and keep from the government and| then throw up the job as soon as they| were fitted for service.| It seems impossible for some peo-| ple to understand thay not every man| in the country wants an office,or will| accept one when it is offered.Chair-| man McCombs,of the national Dem-| ocratic committee,declined a place | in the cabinet and declined the posi- tion of ambassador to France,This| papers that they are imputing all) sorts of motives to Mr. Mr.McCombs made it plain that he| felt that he could not,afford to aban- don his profession—the law—to ac- cept an office for a few years.He is) peared before it with a pétition and delegation of citizens from Yadkin Sal Surry,promising to extend the road to Elkin if the noard would build to the Yadkin line.The gentleman’s their main(a ee eeeeThearoadwasopenedafewyearsorderofourcommissionersETottknownandacmaltiodatthetimethatitwasprimarilyforthebenefitofanisolatednear-Yadkin citizen,who atthattimewaslistingpartofhislandthatcounty.Now he asks our coun- ty'to spend waste)several thousanddollars—and for the self same reason.There are several “Gumpheads”whobelieveinmajorityruleandthatthe folks who must pay off nearly a halfmilliondollarbondissueshouldbeconsideredbeforeothercountiesand far “away townsCOMMON CITIZEN, Turkey Will “Accept Terms of.Peace —Bulgaria Asks More.

Last Friday Bulgaria notified her acceptance of the offer of médiation,but persisted in her demand for a war indemnity and proposed to sub- stitute a frontier line from Midia .on the Black Sea to the Gulf of SarotosatthetopofthepehinsulaofGalli- poli.The European ambassadors jn London have since been considering the situation but have not reached any definite conclusions.The fall of the fortress of Adrianopte is considered likely to have some influence on fu- ture negotiations.

The following unique announcement| appeared in the Sanford Express last week: At the earnest solicitation of many|_friends,1 have decided not to be acandidateforpostmaster.J.U.GONTER. If Mr.Gunter had left out that lit- word “not”his announcement would have been in the usual form. Nearly all candidates become candi- dates “at the earnest solicitation of friends,”to hear the candidates tell it.Sometimes their friends,if they were candid,could.tell a different story.So far as The Landmark knows this is the first time on record.where a candidate has publicly stated that he will not be a candidate because his friends have asked him not to be a candidate.The friends of aspirants for office would often do them a good turn by giving them the advice Mr. Gunter says he has received from -his friends.But usually it is embarrass- ing to discourage the aspiration of a candidate,one is likely to have his motives impugned and to make an enemy out of a friend;and so we often allow our friends to go on and spend time and money in a hopeless race when the part of a true friend would have been to say “don’t.”What- ever may be Mr.Gunter’s private feel- ings,he has accepted the advice ofhiscandidfriends.

None are on filein the other case. At the same time the citizens of that section of Wilkes that is served by the.Jonesville road appeared and pledged their private.fortunes in a en contract that they would in ‘Wilkes county—toward Elkin at that—if our commissioners would unite with them.They also promised to build the other roads of Wilkes that tap this one at a point in Wilkes.(They have an accumulated township tax).Our board was asked both claims but it seemed to have de- servatism and refused,through chairman,to take any ‘actién what- ever.In fact the delegation had to hang on for some hours before it could get any kind of an expression from the board.Finally the chair- man,of his own volition,said the board was not prepared to act (con- sistency?)but would hear the matter later,giving all parties 10 days no-tice:Many weeks have passed with no notice,investigation,or further hearing and there is a manifest dis-position on the part of the membersoftheboardresponsiblefortheugly state of affairs to let the matter die, both roads with it,which I admit would be far better policy than to build an utterly impractical road at an enormous cost.But the fact re-mains that those people are entitledtoequalroadservicewithothersec- tions,and that is all they ask.If out- side co-operation is sought,Wilkes of- fers as much as Yadkin and moresubstantialaid.Lo¢ally,the people asking for the road to go on as it started are vastly in the majority,al- most unanimous.They have had a feeling for a long time that they areaboutasfarseparatedfromtheir government as the Colonists were be- fore the Revolution.Their roads are all in the world they have in the wayofpublicimprovementsandiftheyareleftoutentirely1twillseemthatsomeoftheproudboastsofaspoiledpoliticalchildare—sadly—well ound- I would say to “A Yadkin Citizen” that the fact that his road was aroad“100 years ago~is the chief reason why it should not be made a road today.It was abandoned before the civil war as an rmpractical route -~jand a few things can happen even in ~ge~tion ef.the road thatlies |. lower to rescind its former order and hear veloped a serious case of ultra-con- its north Iredell in that length of time,|horses and wounded and@the Servians 1,200.

Gambling Wide Open in Concord. Concord Tribune.

Dr.Walter H.Page,the new am- bassador to Great Britain,was for a time the New York correspondent of The Landmark,about 26 years ago. Mr.Page,who was reared on a farm in Wake county,engaged in the news-~ paper business in Raleigh about 29 years ago.After a short time in Raleigh he went to New York and for a time after he went there he wrote weekly letters to The Land- mark,being engaged as aregular cor- respondent of the paper,and inter- esting letters they were,too.Pretty soon,however,as Mr.Page’s ability became recognized in New York,he got too busy on other matters to keep up his letters to The Landmark and so the correspondence was discontin- ued.It was while he was correspond- ent of The Landmark that Mr.Page first wrote some things about a lack of progressiveness in North Carolina that made some of the home folks a trifle warm.Taking note of the storm Mr.Page had raised the late J.P..Caldwell,then the editor of The Landmark,wrote this’paragraph for the next issue of the paper:“Mr. Walter H.Page is the New York cor- respondent of The Landmark.Now is the time to subscribe.”This meant that Mr.Caldwell was practically in agreement with Mr.Page.Whether or not his home people have agreed with him on all occasions,Mr.Page is a very able man and it is a matter of pride to North Carolina that this son of the Old North State is to repre- sent the country at the court of St. James.That he will take high rank as a diplomat we do not doubt;and we could wish that he would take to England some of the plain democratic manners and style of Tiving of the North Carolina people and cut out some of the nonesense that has be- come so expensive that only million- aires can afford to accept a first class foreign appointment. Dr,Page has won renown in the lit- erary world.He was editor of the Century,then of the Atlantic Month- ly at Boston,the first Southerner to edit that magazine;one of the found- ers of the now well known publishing house of Doubleday,Page &Co.,and the author of a number of books. TTT It is hard to realize that genial Bob Phillips has gone away.The news of his sudden and unexpected death is a great shock and a personal grief to the editor of The Landmark,as it will be to many others who knew him and loved him.Frank,open- hearted,he radiated sunshine and good cheer.He loved nature and he wrote often bright and cheering para- graphs about the birds and flowers and the days “down on the farm.” His heart was.ever inthe childhood home and among the scenes of his boyhood in the country.It was his cherished hope—a hope so many of us entertain and that is so seldom _Tealized—to some day retire to the xarm and live among the things he loved.He came up from the ranks, graduating from thé princer’s case to editorial desk.He was a capable newspaper man and had done splendid work on the State press.He will be ‘gorely missed among the editors of the State and we sorrow that we shall see his face no more on earth. Today the editor of this paper had ex- pected to meet him in Salisbury on business connected with the State Press Association and had thought of that meeting with pleasure.But today the kindly face will be shut out from view.He was a true friend. God rest him! To keep the Inter-State Commerce Commission from reducing rates,rep- resentatives of the express companies are telling the commission that the parcel post has reduced its receipts approximately 25 per cent.This may ,be true but it will be a matter for re- gret if some way is not found to get at the express companies for past iniq- uities.Their rates have been high but the worst part of their offending has been in making frequent over- charges—taking advantage of the shipper’s lack of knowledge of the fates and charging him more than the published rate and very often col- lecting at both ends of the fine.Real- ly somebody connected with the ex- press companies deserves to wear stripes for those offences. “Tenmembers of the Tennessee‘House of Representatives have,goneaneKy.,with the in-"tention:of breaking a quorum andihpreventthepassageofcertain #&hence,they declare. *ibassaconsidered for president of Hopkins University,Baltimore.©. has rati-Federal try.

The Washington .correspondent;of the Greensboro News sentthe fol- lowing to his paper under date of Monday:pice ou Two new developments Were brought to light today,in the Watts- Justice controversy over the collec- torship of western North Carolina,They are:Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels is opposing the ap- intment of Watts with all his might.‘Mr.Daniels himself has a candidateandhisnameis:W.©.Dowd,theCharlottenewspaperpublisher.Senators Simmons and Overmanhavenotasyetfiledformalindorse-ment of Watts with either PresidentWilsonorSecretaryoftheTreasuryMcAdoo.Senator Overman said to-day that it would probably be a monthheterohewouldgettothecollector-ship appointment.He said he is ex-ceedingly busy re-arranging mattersinthecapitolbuildmg,which comesunderhisjurisdictionaschairmanoftheSenaterulescommittee,and this,coupled with the extra duty lald uponhisshouldersbyreason.of the factthatheisalsochairmanoftheSen-ate patronage committee,makes itimpossibleforhimto ve_seriousthoughttoappointmentsintheState just now.i ;The Daily News correspondent saw Secretary Daniels today and asked if he cared to say whether he was be- hind the Justice movement to defeat Watts for collector. “Tam too busy learning how to‘sail’to talk about North Carolina appointments,”said the Secretary. “J absolutely refuse to discuss such matters just now.” It was learned from another source, however,that Mr.lvaniels is square- ly behind the movement to preventWattsfromlandingtheprizeplum.It is also known that it was the NavySecretarywhoescorredE.J.JusticetotheWhiteHouseandlistenedat-tentively to what the Greensboro at- torney had to say about the reaction- aries in North Carolina;that Danielsisfightingjustashardtodefeat Watts as he ever fought against Mar-ion Butler,John Motley Morehead or any of the erstwhile Republican as- pirants for office in North Carolina,and that while he may not have yet recommended Carey Dowd,the Char- lotte editor and publisher,for the collectorship,he is strongly in favor lof the President naming the Charlotte man in preference to any other. The fight,which was started when E.J.Justice laid bare the litical history of certain North arolina Democrats,is just begun.It is evi- dent that Mr.Daniels has the Presi- dent’s ear.He took Mr.Justice to the White House after office hours, and at a time when the President wasnotsupposedtobereceivingcallers.

The same correspondent,writing under date of the 2d,says:Secretary Daniels is actively op- posed to the proposed appointment ofMr.Watts as collector of internal plain in these dispatches,is known for certain.No one here questions that statement of fact.A subject of conjecture,however,is the lengths to which the activity of Mr.Daniels will carry him.Another fact known for certain is that a num- ber of gentlemen,high in the councils of the Democracy,have used their good offices in behalf of Mr.Watts, who is known as the machine or or- ganization candidate,but thus far these kindly intercessions have been unavailing.«Gentlemen who did not believe that the Watts.appointmentcanbeachievedovertheearnestpro- test of Mr.Daniels have gone to that gentleman with a plea for harmony, and the Secretary of the Navy hasbeenaskedtodesistwhilethedeedis being done.

The average date on which the last killing frost in spring occurs at this place is now passed according to the local officers of the weather bureau.March 30 and with the passing of that a ends the period of four-tenths of the year dur- ing which killing frost has occurred in the past.The forecaster would not state that no more killing frosts or freezes would occur this spring,but ventured the statement that compar- atively mild weather again prevails over the country.The latest date on which a freeze has ever occurred in this vicinity is April 15.

AFTER THE=FLOOD ©SUBSIDED. A Day in Dayton and Incidents of theFlood—Dayton’s Need Still Great. Dayton,O.,Special to Baltimore Sun. Hundreds of sightseers atrived for an pressed into the service of the sani- tary department and were forced,insomeinstancesatthepointsofbay-onets’in the hands of NationalGuardsmen,to assist in the removal of carcasses.From end to end of Dayton the peo-ple were cleaning house.Those whohadnohousestocleanworkedcheer-fully in assisting those who had.Mer-chants-and what numbers of their_em-ployes who could be found were clear-ing the piles of wrecked stocks ofmerchandisewithscoopsandshovels,the mud in some places several feetdeepbeingthrownintothestreets. Broken glass was piled into’greatheapsreadytobecarvedaway.Coun-ters and store fixtures were piled inalleysandcarloadsofmerchandise, watersoaked and for the most partpracticallyworthless,were stacked onthesidewalksandonimprovisedshelvesinstores. In Riversdale and North Dayton,where the flood waters attained the greatest depth and degree of destruct- iveness,several thousand persons waded knee-deep in slimy mud,rum- maging their desolated homes for clothing.All of this,of course,was soaked and plastered with mud,but it was dried on the hillsides,wherethepopulacehadtakenrefuge.In some places in these districts the water had so far receded as to renderpossiblethebeginningoftheworkof cleaning the lower floors of mud and debris,so jn a few days fires can be built with the houses and the premises dried out. But it will be a long time before all Daytonians again live in their own homes.There are 15,000 residences which it will be necessary to plaster and paper before they can be occupied. There are 4,500 houses which it will be necessary to build foundations un- der,to straighten,reroof,put in doors and windows,rebuild chimneys and make other repairs before their own- ers can move in again.There are 2,000 houses which it will be neces- sary to raze and new structures built. The citizens’relief committee,on ad- vices from engineers,had decided that this reconstruction work will require four months,even if building material can bé obtained promptly. As far as the business and indus- trial buildings are concerned it has been estimated by architects who have looked over the different premises that eight months will be needed be- fore the repair work and rebuilding ean be accomplished.In the interim business will be done in whatever premises may be available. H.E.Talbott, sioned by Governor Cox chief en- gineer of the military zone,completed his plans for beginning the rehabilita- tion.He announced that four de- partments have been created,with an assistant engineer in charge of each. One will have charge of rebuilding the streets and alleys,another the levees along the rivers,another the sewerage systems and still another the bridges.Thousands of men wil! be employed,together with many teams of horses and work will be pushed to the utmost in "ll depart ments.Cursory surveys of the dam age done have been made and larg: quantities of material ordered by tele- graph,to be shipped immediately.

W.H.ALLISON’S HOME BURNED. Residence on Davie Avenue PartiallyDestroyedByFireSaturdayMorn-ing—-Loss.Partially Covered ByInsurance. The large residence of Mr.W.H. Allison,corner Davie avenue «and Cemetery street,was wrecked‘py firewhichstartedinthekitchenroofSat-urday morning shortly .before’'9o’cloc.k.The upper story was burnedbeyondrepairandtheloweystoryisnaturallymoreorlessdamaged.All the furniture in the lower story and aportionofthatin-the.second--was saved.Mr.Allison carried $500 in- surance on his furniture and $2,000 on the house,but this hardly equals his 'loss. Mr.Allison and all his family wereathomewhenthecook,who was busy in the kitchen,discovered that:the roof was on fire and gave the alarm. The flames were making good head-way when Mr.Allison reached the kitchen and the water thrown on thembyhislawnhose,which he immediate- ly put into commission,had little ef- fect.Fanned by a strong wind thefiresoonspreadovertheroofand by the time the fire department reach- ed the scene the house was apparently doomed,Neighbors gathered quickly and even before the firemen and citi- zens who responded to the alarm ‘*ar- rived much of the furniture had been removed from the house.Two streams of water were soon turnedon,but the pressure was not godd at the begin- ning andthe fire continued to spread.By the time the thirc line of hosehadbeenconnectedthepumpsatthe water station had been put in operg- tion and it was not long until the fire was under control.For a time it seemed that it would be impossible to save the houses from total destruc- tion and the work of the firemen is to be commended.The scene of the fire being a mile from the fire station the department was naturally delay- ed in-reaching it ana the low water pressure was also against them.The fire is supposed to have been started by a spark blowing from the kitchen flue under the shingles of the roof. A residence on this same site,own- ed by Mr.Allison and occupied at the time by Mr.and Mrs.D.PF. Stevenson,was burned abeut 15 years ago. MR.ELI HAMMER KILLED.

After the above was written ‘the following came to hand from the Na- tion,a British paper,which is in ac- cordance with what The Landmark has said.Discussing the appointment of Mr.Page,the Nation says: “President Wilson has made an in- teresting experiment.He has bold ly reverted to the scholar diplomat as the type of man most qualified to rep- resent the United States abroad.In doing so he has paid a_silent but striking compliment to the good sense of the British people.He has assum- ed that what we most value in an American ambassador is not his wealth and his ability to lavish it on magnificent houses and nuge enter tainments,but his personality and his achievements and the extent to which he brings with him the true flavor of American life.” “President Wilson was fright in thinking from the American,even more than the British standpoint, that there should be a reversion to the Bancroft,Washington Irving.and Lowell type,that even in the spend- thrift days wealth is not essential in a nominee to the London embassy. We welcome and honor that demon- stration.It fits in wrth one’s concep- tion of what America should be and at her best,really is,and it may not be without its usefulness in restoring to London society a more just sense in values.” That’s the common sense of it.Cut out the lavish display of wealth and the high society nonsense and make our representatives abroad truly rep- resentative of the best American spirit.eereremernenrearerenenennerinentitemnetattittt Before one could fully realize that Editor Phillips of the Greensboro News had written his last line,came the news of the passing of [Editor James G.Boylin of Wadesboro,a vet- eran in the profession and one who, like Editor Phillips,had come up from the ranks.For 26 years Mr.Boylin had been editor of the Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer and he had made a success of “his paper..That of itself is a tribute to his worth,for the newspaper publishers whe eveceed in country towns are few.Mr.Hoylin swas not a prolific writer;his best ta!- -ent was for the business end:but he could write and when he wrote.he wrote well.He t#@ courage and com- mon sense and when he chose to ex- press himself there was never any doubt about what he meant.Person- ally Mr.Boylin was an agreeable zen- tleman,a congenial and loyal friend; and this writer,who enjoyed and val- ued his.per8onal friendship,mourns his passing and sorrows with those near and dear to him.The newspaper profession in the State has suffered the loss of two of its choicest spirits in the passing of Editors Phillips and Boylin.They will be missed.a A few days ago a German mnilitary dirigible balloon alighted on French territory.The operators of the dir-igible claimed they were just trying out the balloon and were confused byastorm.The French officials hadtheirdoubts.They suspected theGermansofbeingonaspyingexpe-dition and the dirigible was searchedforplansoffortificactons,but no evi-dence was found.This moves theCharlotteObservertosay: How fortunate indehaveUnitedStatesae eae inetaadofdifferentnationsintheirplace!ANorthCarolinamilitarydirigiblealightinginSouthCarolina,VirginiaorTennessee‘would be regarded quitewithoutsuspicionbytheauthoritiesofthoseStates.

The Efficiency and Economy Com- mission,created by President Taft, will be continued under the Wilson administration.Mr.Wilson is deep- ly interested in a modern,business- like plan for handling the affairs of the government.The commission ex- ists through a proviston in the sundry civil bill and a recommendation for its eontinuation is expected during the coming session or Congress.Mr. Wilson had a similar commission in New Jersey when he was Governor. President Wilson and at least some of his cabinet officers believe in demor eratic simplicity:Secrgfary of State Bryan remained in his office after hours and.when he left,found an ele- vattr boy on duty.Inquiry revealed that the boy had stayed near two hours overtime because a’rule prohib- was in the building.Mr.Bryan told him to quit on time hereafter;that it wouldn’t hurt any government of- ficial to walk down two flights of stairs occasionally.

Convinced that public businesswouldbeexpeditedpythepractice, President Wilson has decided to set, aside two hours each week for “heart-to-heart”talks with the newspaper correspondents,One hour will be de- voted each Tuesday morning and an- other ‘hour will be given over to the same purpose Thursday afternoons.

Copying what The Landmark had to say about party rewards and ser- vice;and asserting its agreement therewith,the Winston Journal says: But The Landmark should be will-ing to reward faithful party workers,which must be done rf the-orguaniza-tion is to be maintained. That's exactly what The Landmark is willing to do,as it said;but it would demand first,that the “faith- ful party worker”be a man of char- acter and show his fitness for the job to which he aspires.These re- marks are prompted by the fact that it is often the case that men who are notoriously unfit prate most apout their service to the party;and it is usually the case that ‘the service,if rendered at all,has been purely sel- fish.

The refusal of a number of gentle- men to accept appointments as am- bassadors becanse the salary allow- ed does not begin to meet the expenseofthepositioniftheambassadoris to live in the style custom requires of a representative of the government, has brought on an agitation for an in- crease in salary or an allowance for living expenses,so that men of mod- erate means can accept these posi- tions.At present on7y men of large, private means,who are:willing to spend their own money,can afford to accept these posts. It is stated that a poll of the Dem- ocrats of Congress is being taken with a view of ascertaining the sentiment for or against increasing the salaries of the United States ‘ambassadors. Three propositions are ,considered:First,for the government to pay the rental on homes’for ambassadors; second,to build homes for them,and third,to increase their salaries.Some action may be taken by the Congress which convened yesterday.

Setting aside precedents of more than a century,President Wilson will appear in the halls of Congress today to deliver his first legislative message ic congressional leaders Sunday night House|when it convened Tuesday and there give that body his views on the tariff..This decision of the President evok ed much comment among the congres- sional leaders.He will be the first President of the United States to ap- pear offtcially before either branch of Congress in deliberative session since John Adams,in the first few years of the last century.An attempt was made exactly one hundred years ago, in 1818,to revive the custom but President ‘Madison declined an invita- tior!_to discuss foreign relations with the Senate.Since then no President has even suggested joining in the de- liberations of Congress.President Wilson made his plansknowntoMajorityLeaderUnderwood of the House,Representative A. 'Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania and |the other House Democratic leaders, that they might prepare for the event. The President believes that he can get in closer touch with the members of both houses of Congress by per- sonally expressing his views to them. In addition to his official visits to the House,which will become Aa matter of White House policy,the President will take advantage of these visits toholdconferenceswiththepartylead- ers in Congress, The President has been told by his friends that such a procedure is fraught with embarrassments unless he tactfully keeps his purpose mere- ly of giving advice as the leader of his party and offering suggestions to these with whom he confers.Those who have discussed the matter with him say he is convinced that Congress ‘ |will not misunderstand his intentions,| jthat he will go to the capitol in a |spirit of friendly co-operation,so that j}there may be at all times a unanimity |of purpose between the executive and|the legislative departments of the|government. |The President,it was learned,has jread with considerable -surprise re ‘ports that he had actually written parts of the tariff bill or that he thad forced agreements with committees ofCongress.He declared he simply had been asked to make sugyestions and had cheerfully done so;that ther bill is the work of Congtess and that his part in it has been that of counsellor(‘and adviser.Tt is known,too,that the.President is anxidus to give equal con- sideration to the leaders in bothhousesofCongressinseeingthatpartypledgesarecarriedout.

The corporation commission has closed two banks promoted by the |States Trust Company of Wilming- ton,a $200,000 corporation organiz-ed last November for the purpose of organizing country banks,the reasons )assigned for the closing of thé institu- tions being irregularitiés in their or- ganizdtion.The institutions closed were the Bank of Angier,Harnett ‘county,which State Bank Examiner S.A.Hubbard took charge of this morning,and the Bank of Maccles- field,Edgecombe county,which was taken in charge this afternoon by As- sistant Examiner H.-D.Bateman. |Each was capitalized at $5,000. It appears that representatives of the States Trust Company went to the towns of Angier and Macclesfield and told the citizens there that if they would subscribe stock in the States Trust Company that it would put up a bank.This was done,the-—local people being allowed to pay 25 per cent cash and give their notes for the balance.The big concern start- ed the banks,the Angier institution |being opened March 13 and the Mac-jclesfield bank opened March 3 last. |These notes were discounted at the Wilmington office and the sum ofnearly$3,000 was «pent in furniture and fixtures.That left the capital |etock practically nothing,the officers jand directors of the local institution jnot having any financial interest in |the institutions,having turned over|their holdings to the Wilmington con-|cern. |Sensational interest is lent to the |closing of the institutions by thé fact that representatives of furniture |houses and vault companies are nam-jed in the prospectus of the States Trust Company as stockholders,from which the inference is clear that the furniture and vaults were purchasedfromstockholdersataprofit. Ector H.Smith and C:H.Bowlds,president and secretary.and treasur- er of the States Trust Company,ap- led to the corporation commission in vain not to close up their banks, promising to comply with the law,but the commission was adamant.

A slight increase was made in the sal- aries of the female attendants. The report of Supt.McCampbell shows that on November 30,1912, there were on the rolls of the Hospit- al 567 men and 763 women,a total of 1,330.For the four months ending March 31,61 patients were admitted —$1 men and 30 women;23 died— 15 men and 8 women—and one man and two women were discharged.Re- maining on the rolls March 3ist,582 men and 783 women—a total of 1,- 365,or a net increase of 35 in the four months. There are actually present in the in- stitution 1,163 patients—483 men and 680 women;out on probation 184—81 men and 103 women;absent by elope- ment 18—all men.During the fourmonths49werereleasedonprobation —~21 men and 28 women.Of these 18werereturned—9 men and 9 women.

Whether so much space can be provid- ed will depend on the cost of the work,but it is hoped that accommoda- tions can be provided for at least 100 additional patients.Supt,McCamp-bell was directed to confer with archi- tects about plans for the new build- ings so as to have the preliminaries completed by the time the appropria-tion is available.If the money for “the building is available in a reason- able time and there is no delay in thework,the L.viding may be completed within.a year.be Church News.

Rumor As to How Collector Appoint- ment May Be Settled. Washington Special,8th,to boro News. It was authoritatively stated at the eapitol today that so long as Col.A. D.Watts has “a chance”to win in the fight for the collectorship of west- ern North Carolina,Cary Dowd,-the Charlotte editor and the man whomJosephusDanielsexpectstofinally land the job,will not oppose Col. Watts.But should it become certain that Watts cannot win,’then Mr. Dowd’s friends will expect Senators Simmons and -Overman to refuse to put any obstacle in the way of the Charlotte man becoming collector.It has been stated that unless Watts was named by President Wilson that both the Tar Heel Senators would re- fuse to allow any other\name ‘to be favorably passed upon by the Senate.It is now whispered around in cir-cles usually well informed on admin-istration questions,particularly in regard to “pie,”that at the propertimeMr.Wilson wtil_tell Senators Simmons and Overman that he cannotnameMr.Watts,and that he hopestheywillgettogetheruponanother man and will give his reasons for notnamingtheIredellman.Should the President take this view of the now interesting subject,friends of Mr.Dowd are confident that he can beputover.With Josephus Daniels be-hind Dowd and the friendship whichis:known to exist between the Char-lotte man and both the Senators,it isbelievedthatneitherSenatorsSim-mons ot Overman could consistentlyopposeDowdshouldPresidentWilson Greens- 3 J.R.FRENCH.*April 10,1913,icant’ hg ment——-Municipal Primary——Person- al Items.

The Wilsons Wait on Themselves. Washington Dispatch., White House attendants nowadays have to be nimble if they are going to“littleturns”for any of the Misses Wilson,The President's daughters Have al- ready got the reputation of being most independent young women, abundantly able to look out for them- selves on all occasions and quite will- ing to do so. When the White House automobile drew up to the Union station,carry- ing Miss Eleanor Wilson and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones,the door flew open and before anybody could get hold of the baggage,which the two White House residents were taking over.to Baltimore wrth them,Miss Eleanor had picked up a suit case and set out for the train gate, “Wait a minute!Wait @ minute!” called out the anxious attendant,but ng Eleanor didn’t “wait a minute.”She just jauntily continued her way; swinging the suit ‘case,which didn’t seem a bit of a load to the youngest daughter of the White House family.

WILSON'S TARIFF MESSAGE The President Sets Aside Precedents and Goes Ip Person to Tell Congress What Should Be Done to Keep Par- ty Pledges—Message Delivered in Fifteen Minutes In Presence of Large Assemblage. Washington Dispatch,8th. President ‘Wilson today abridged the gap that for over a century has separated the pilots of public busi- ness—-the executive,and legislative branches of the government.Not as a cog in a machine,not as,an imper- sonal political entity,nor as a mere department of government,but as the to speak about the tariff. Standirig before the ‘Senate and House in joint session,as no other President had done for more than 112 years,President Wilson stated simply and tersely what he thought should be done for the welfare of the coun- try and asked his legislative col- leagues,man to man,to aid in keep- ing the pledges of their party. With a sween of decision tha:shat- tered precedent the President brushed aside all --imayinary boundaries be- iween Congress and the Executive of- fice and rescued himself,as he ex~- pressed it,from that “isolated island of jealous authority,”which the presidency had come to be regarded. Congress,somewhat stortled the other day when it heard that the President had determined to deliver his message by word of mouth,had prepared for a ceremony of unusual importance and such rt was,yet when President Wilson arrived in the midst of the great assemblage,riding through throngs of cheering people in the streets,and,later,looking up into galleries crowded with privileged tick- et-holders,he seemed after all what he said he was,“a human being try- ing to co-operate with other human beings in a common service.” When the much-heralded incident was.over.Congress seemed pleased and the President was delighted.He expressed himself to friends as im- pressed with dignity of the occasion and some of his confidants later de- clared that he jeft the Capitol greatly relieved to think that,after all,his precedent-smashing had not been method of our industrial and com- mercial life were being.changed be- yond recognition the tariff sc edules have remained what they were before the change began,or have moved in the ‘direction they were given when no large circumstance of our indus- trial development was what it is to- day.Our task is to square them with the actual facts.The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffering from the facts and the soon- er our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the na- ture of free business)instead of by the law of legislation and artificial ar- rangement.t : We have seen tariff legislation wan- der very far afield in our day—very far indeed from the field in which our prosperity might have had a normal growth and stimulation.No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive the printiples upon which recent tariff legislation has been based.We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of “protecting”the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the govern- ment.For a long time—-a time so long that men,now active in ublic policy hardly rememver the conditions that preceded it—-we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they ‘themselves thought that they needed in order to maintain a prac- tically exclusive market as against the rest of the world.Consciously or unconsciously,we have puilt up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition behind which it was easy by any,even the crudest,forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last nothing is normal,noth- ing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and economy,in our world of big business,but everything thrives by concerted arrangement.Only new principles of action will save us from a final hard ecrystalization of monop- oly and a complete loss of the influ- ences that quicken enterprise and keep independent energy alive. It is plain what those principles must.be.We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage,and put our business men and producers under the,stimulation of a constant necessrty to be efficient, such a cataclysmic thing as some old-| er heads had predicted.| The President’s vistt to the Capitol| was brief,lasting about a quarter of an hour.At two minutes before 1 o’clock the| President entered the chamber.Mem-| bers of the House and Senate rose as Spekaer Clark brougnt down the gavel.From the floor and galleries| distinguished guests looked on at the | »scene.Ambassadors from many lands|were in the audiencé,members of the| Cabinet were there and all the peo- ple who possibly could get in were present to witness the proceeding. President Wilson,escorted by Sen- ator Bacon,bowed acknowledgment to the applause and mounted theSpeaker's stand to the journal clerk’sdesk,directly in front of the Speaker. With a smile,as he began to speak, the President told his hearers why he come.He said he was glad to verify for himself the impression that the President of the United States °was a’person.He was speaking in an| ordinary tone of voice,just as though | he were talking to a Senator in his| office.The crowded chamber was| "hushed after the momentary thrills of | conversation upon his entrance had) ebbed away.very eye was fixed | upon him as he spoke and it was in-| stantly apparent that he had aroused the keenest interest.As the Presi- dent proceeded with his preliminary statement,averring that he was not a mere department of government, but human and that he had come to speak naturally with his fellowmen, the interest was tense. “After this pleasant experience,” the President said,“I shall feel quitenormalinallourdealingswithone another.”As these words fell from the Presi-“gent’s lips the House and Senate ap-wea Then the gallery j<-..2 in. rs.Wilson and _the President's daughters and other relatives joined from the Executive gallery..Ambas- sador Bryce,of England,looked or with evident interest.So did Am- bassador Jusserand,ef France,and representatives from other nations. Where a few moments before the event had seemed unusual,almost un-real,it now “Appeared perfectly ad- justed to conditions and not at all dramatic.The applause subsiding,the Presi-| dent began to read nis brief message|on the tariff.He spoke slowly and| forcefully and in less than eight min- utes he was done.No interruption occurred and he left the stand im-mediately while the Congress ap- plauded. President Wilson began his message as follows:“I am very gled indeed to have thisopportunitytoaddressthetwohousesdirectlyand.to verrfy for my- self the impression that the Presi- dent of the United States is a person, not a mere department of the gov- ernment,hailing Congress from someizolatedislandofjeatouspower,send-ing messages,not spéaking naturally sand with his own votce,that he is ahumanbeingtryingtoco-operate with other human beings in a com- mon service.After chis pleasant ex-perience I shall feel quite normal in-all our dealings with one another.”I have called the Congress together extraordinary ‘session because a at the recent elections which under existing law may beiedassoonaspossibleandinalso,that the business interests try may not.be kept toosuspenseastowhatthefiscal to which they willadjustthemselves.clear that the whole country ex-riff duties to be altered.ust be changed to meet theconditior!s It|\ economical,and enterprising,masters of competitive supremacy,better workers and merchants than any in the world.Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not,and probably can not,produce,therefore, and the duties laid wpon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield,the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effec- tive competitior the whetting of American wits iby contest with the wits of the rest of the world. It would be unwise to move to- ward this end headlong,with reckless haste,or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own invitation.It does not’alter a thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change,It destroys it.We must make ‘changes in our fiscal laws,in our fiscal system, whose object is development,a more free and wholesome development,not revolution or upset or confusion.We must build up trade,especially for- eign trade,We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before.We must build up industry as well,and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stim- ulation only so far as it will build,not pull down.In dealing with the tar- iff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised item by item.To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may in some respects and at some.points seem heroic,but reme- dies may be heroic and yet be reme- dies.It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object is clear.If our motive is above just challenge and only an oc- easional error of judgment is charge- able against us,we shall,be fortunate. We are called upon to render the country a-great service in more mat- ters than .one.Our responsibility should be met and our methods should.be thorough,as thorough as moderate and well considered,baseduponthefactsastheyare,and not worked out as if wé were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day,with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts.It is best,indeed it is necessary,to begin with the tariff.I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which canobscurethatfirstobjectordivertour energies from that clearly defined duty.At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to reforms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes,if not aécompany them,of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws;but just now I re-frain.For the present,I put these matters on one side and ‘think only of this one thing—-of the changes in ourfiscalsystemwhichmaybestservetoopenoncemorethefreechannelsofprosperityto.a great people whomwewouldservetotheutmostandthroughoutbothrankandfile, President Wilson reverted today tothecustomofacenturyagoinre-vising the precedent by which Con-gress heard from the lips of theChiefExecutiveofthecountryhis message to the national Legislature.Two motives influenced Mr.WilsontodecidetoreadinpersonhisfirstcommunicationtoCongress—the peér- functory way in which presidential messages usually were received,ac-companied as they have been by thedroneofaclerk’s voice and empty seats,and Mr.Wilson’s desire thateverymembershouldhearhisappeal for a thorough revision of the tariff,the sole purpose for which Congress was valled in extraordinary session.Official Washington prepared for the unusual event with a feeling moreofcuriositythanofcriticism.Senti-ment as to the political wisdom of the move had scarcely crystalized as theprocedureoftheearlydayswasonly a historical record,so far as the mod#and ‘ern Jegislator was concerned.Sena- tors and Representatives acknowledg-ed the constitutional right -of the President to read his message in the halls of Congress ‘and by concurrentresolution.arranged to gather in theHousechamberat1o'clock,The President’s message itself was about 1,200 words long when he first pre-pared it,but in view of the changedcircumstanceshehasaddedapreface. However,the entire speech was oflessthan15minutes’reading.The President had several engage-ments and a Cabinet meeting to occu-py him before his departure for theCapitol.He planned to be away fromthe’White House for only half an hour. THE TARIFF BILL IN BRIEF. Summary of Some of the Provisions of the Bill Prepared By the Demo- crats.Removal of all tariff from many ar- ticles of food and clothing;broad re-ductions in the rates of duty on all necessaries of life;an increase of tar- iff on many luxuries,and,a new in-come tax that would touch the pocket of every American citizen whose net income exceeds $4,000 are the strik- ing features of the new Democratic tariff revision bill presented,to the House Monday.Sugar would be-free of duty in 1916,the bill proposing an immediate25percentreductionandtheremov- al of the remaining duty in 1916.Raw wool would be made free at once with a correspondingly heavy reduction in the tariff on woolen goods, All these other articles are put on the free list.namely: Meats,flour,bread,boots and shoes,lumber,coal,harness,saddlery, iron ore,milk and cream,potatoes, salt,swine,corn,corn meal,cotton bagging,agricultural implements, leather,wood pulp,Bibles,printing paper not worth more than 2 1-2 cents per pound,typewriters,sewing machines,typesetting machines,cash registers,steel rails,fence wire,cot- ton ties,nails,hoop and band iron, fish,sulphur,soda,tanning materials, acetic and sulphuric acids,borax, lumber products,including broom handles,clapboards,hubs for wheels, posts,laths,pickets,staves,shingles. These principal items are taken from the free list and taxed:Rough and uncut diamonds,precious stones, furs,coal tar products,10 per cent; volatile oils,20 per cent;spices from 1 cent to 2 cents per pound, The new rates are estimated to re- duce the customs revenues approxi- mately $80,000,000 a year.This is expected to be made up by the income tax.Endorsed by President Wilson, the measure represents the efforts of the President and the House tariff- makers to carry into effect Democrat- ic pledges of downward revision and of concessions to the American con- sumer.Protection to the farmer would be cut throughout by more than 50 per cent in an effort to reduce the cost of food.Protection to the steel and im- plement manufacture would in turn be cut by fully as wide a margin. Heaviest reductions fall upon food- stuffs,agricultural products,woolen and cotton clothing.In a statement accompanying the bill Chairman Underwood said the measure would,in the opinion of its makers,revise the tariff “to a ba- sis of legitimate competition,such as will afford a wholesome influence on our commerce,bring relief to the peo- ple in the matter of the high cost of living,and at the same time work no detriment to properly-conducted man- ufacturing industries.“In its tariff revision work the committee has kept in mind,”he said, “the distinction between the necessi- ties and the luxuries of life,reducing the tariff burdens on the necessities to the lowest points commensurate with revenue requirements and mak- ifig the.luxuries of life bear their proper portion of the tariff responsi- bilities.Many items of manufacturecontrolledbymonopolieshave.been placed on the free list.” Clemmer Has Been Passing As“Herald of Prince of Peace.”‘ Durham Specia!,8th,to Charlotte Ob- server.4 George Clemmer,the young Monroe man who was ejected from’the Senate gallery yesterday because he said hehadamessagetodeliverandwaspro- ceeding to deliver it,visited Durham about two weeks ago and created a mild sensation at Trinity College.The young man asked permission to ad- dress the students at a mass meeting, saying that he was the “herald of the Prince of Peace.” Without knowing anything about his fanaticism,he was told by the dean,President Few being away,thathemightleadthechapelexercises next morning.He appeared on time and after reading a passage from the Scripture,launched forth in one of the greatest harangues ever heard within Trinity’s classic walls. He covered history,sacred and pro- fane,from Noah to the recent Ohio- Indiana flood,and incidentally took| a fling at the college and the cigar-" ette business of the American Tobac- co Company.,The members of the faculty were astounded and it is saidthattheybeganonebyonetoleave the rdéstrum,and the students.alsobegantodepart.Seeing his audience melting away,he brought his talk to an abrupt close.

NINES The adoption of the constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of United States Senators:is now a fact,the measure having been ratified by 36 States—two-thirds of the whole.Hereafter United States Senators will be elected by direct vote of the people instead of by the Leg- jslature.Senator Overman’s term ex- pires in less than two years and his successor will be elected at the elec- tion of November,1914.The direct electicn of Senators puts an end to legislative deadlocks and the buying of elections in Legislatures.The peo- ple will now have an opportunity to pass on the men chosen for these high positions. seanenemaenateonencnaonacennmamananaiaannanss President Wilson not only smashed precedents in going to the capitol Tuesday and reading his message to the joint assembly of the two houses of Congress,but deserves the thanks of the country for stating his views to Congress in few words.The message is printed in full on the sec- ond page of The Landmark and is so short that everybody can it. Usually Presidents’messages spread over a page or two and few there be who read them in full except those who had to as a matter of business. The value of such messages were lost on account of their length.Mr.Wil son has his say in a few words but the words count. he read The members of the American Cot- ton Manufacturers’Association,in session in Washington _this passed resolutions protesting against the cotton schedule of the tariff bill introduced in Congress.The cotton mill men are lobbying against the bill and many of them insist that they will have to close their mills if the bill passes as introduced.Protesting that they are Democrats and have a right to expect better treatment from their party,some of the mill men threaten to vote the Republican ticket if the bill passes.It is a matter of common report,and can probably be substan- tiated,that a good many of the cot- ton mill men in this State have for some years voted the national Repub- lican ticket because they favor a pro tective tariff. week, It turns out that the writer of the anonymous letter sent out to thenewspapersfromRaleighduringthe Legislatire,attacking the revenue bill on account of the reassessment and tax commission features,was George P.Pell,a member of the corporation commission.This confirms the sus-_picion we had at the time.The crea- tion of a tax commission would have taken from each corporation commis- sioner the $500 added to his salary =+Legislature.on ‘ac- count of adding to the duties of the commissioners that of tax commis- sioners.They failed egregiously in performing the new duties imposed on them,but drew the additional pay and took fright at the prospect of having to surrender it.—Newton Enterprise.

In asking for the resignations of customs officials in Philadelphia,Sec- retary of the Treasury McAdoo stat- ed that no charges had been filed but that new blood is desired and it is “deemed essential that these places be filled by persons who are in sympathy with the purposes and policies of the administration.”That action and utterance will delight the heart of the boyslined upat the pie-counter.These anxious seekers are firmly convinced that “new blood”and persons “in sympathy with the purposes and poli- cies of the administration”should be in every job in the Federal service, no matter how small the job.Mr. McAdoo doubtless had reference only to the high customs officials,whose rulings may materially affect the tar- iff law,but it will be hard for the boys at the pie-counter to understand why the same doctrine should not ap-ply to every postoffice in.the land.

Five hundred women suffragista, representing a large part of the con- gressional districts in the country, armed with petitions demanding a constitutional amendment for votes for.women,marched to the capitol Monday and delivered their demands in person to their Congressmen.The march to the capitol was unobstruct- ed and the women were received by members and Senators who are in sympathy with them. Dr.Albert Von Hoffman of St. Louis has directed his attorney in New York to apply for an injunction to restrain Dr.F.F.Friedmann of Berlin from closing a tontract with any one for the disposition of his tu- berculosis vaccine in case Doctor Friedmann should attempt to put his remedy on the market.Doctor Von Hoffman claims to have a prior con- tract with Doctor Friedmann for the commercial rights to the vaccine.

Offers of provisional homes have been made for the women and children of the strikers outside Belgium.Many will be sent abroad and the workmen will lay in a supply of provisions in preparation for the siege. Reorganization of the personnel of the customs service by the Democratic administration was bew~un Wednesday when Secretary McAdoo of the Treas- ury Department took steps to displace all the high customs officials at the port of Philadelphia.It was stated that there were no charges against the.persons whose resignations were asked but that new olood is desired and it is deemed essential that these places be filled by persons who are in sympathy with the purposes and poli- cies of the administration. Must Be Identified Before You Can Get Your Whiskey. Charlotte Observer,10th. “What in thunder does all this mean?”snapped an irate man yester- day morning when a package which had come prepaid via the Southern Express Company was not turned over to him upon request. “You've got to haye somebody to identify you,”returned’thé express clerk,assuming that quick and alert manner usually taken by those who stand at delivery windows and pass out articles:to people.The alert manner consisted in dropping one foot,hanging’his face in his hand and flopping down in a dejected man- ner as if he didn’t care what next. “That’s the new flaw,”continued the clerk,“for whiskey shipments and you will have to get some one to identify you that I know.” “Why don’t the company hire somebody that knows somebody and something,”returned the stranger. “Here I’ve been living in Charlotte all my life and have got to get some- body to identify me before I can get my own whiskey.” “Mighty sorry,”replied the clerk, “but that’s the law and I can’t turn the whiskey over to you until you get some friend to identify you.” In high wrath the “stranger”de- parted to look up a friend who would sign his name as a witness and there-by let that friend and all his friends know that he had a “gallon.”It works a hard,cruel hardship both ways but “its the law.” Big Township With Small Population.

Compulsory ‘Feature Not Optional,astheLegislatureIntended—The SixMonthsTerm. Asheville Gazette-News. The ‘understanding among Jegisla-tors was that an amendment ‘to thecompulsoryattendancelawwhieh they adopted was intended to make compulsory attendance in a county op- tional with the county board of edu- cation and would so operate._As has been announced,it is SuperintendentJoyner’s opinion that such is not the case,and that the law requires State- wide compulsory education.This con- struction has the approval of the At- torney General,who hglds that the on-ly power given county boards by theamendment.is that of providing the machinery wherebytendancemaybeeffected in.their counties;and he doubts the legal stat-us of the amendment.An attempt ‘toapply’the amendment as the legis- lators Understood it,it is stated,would probably nullify the amend-ment entirely,since it would be held that the effort has here been made to confer legislative power on the coun- ty boards. The opinion of the Attorney Gener- al derives an added significance from the position which seems to have been taken that he is,by statute,just aboutequivalenttoacourt‘of_last resort inmatterspertainingto-the school laws. There is perhaps not a general understanding of the educational leg- islation enacted.The so-called six months’term sets aside five cents in the dollar of all funds coming —into the State Treasury,to be disbursed for addition to the school term.This sum is estimated to be $400,000 or enough not to provide a six months’ term,but a term a little short of six months,in all the public schools.A county,it seems,must levy a spe- cial tax if necessary to bring the school term up to four months Here- tofore there has been a fund of $225,- 000 for this purpose.But this $226,- 000 will now be used otherwise}that is,if a special county tax of not more than 15 cents on the $100 is insuffi- cient,then the necessary funds addi- tional come out of the $225,000.This fund,in a word,is used to equalize school terms up to four months,after the provisions of local taxation have been exhausted;“then the fund esti- mated to be $400,000 will be applied to extension of terms to about six months. Monroe Doctors Would Give Names of Whiskey Patients. Monroe Journal. There was a meeting in Monroe yes- terday of the Union county medi- cal society which was attended by an unusual number of the members.A resolution was passed as follows: “That the names of the patients who get whiskey prescriptions be published together with the names of the doctors who gave them.” Should the doctors carry out their resolution to publish the names of their patients to whom they pre- seribe whiskey it would be mighty interesting reading matter.But from the above resolution as fun ed by the secretary of the’society, is not clear whether the doctors ex- pect to have the names _published themselves or whether they are merely requesting the newspapers to do so.In the writing of liquor prescrip- tions the doctors are exercising a public function which nobody else is permitted to do.The law grants them that privilega,licenses them to do it,and permits them to charge for the service,and makes their ac- tions a matter of public record.Be- cause of these facts their actions are publie property and they ought not to complain,when the public is giv- en such information.At the same time they are in a troublesome po- sition and deserve the sympathy of the public when.they are sincerely trying to-carry out the law in food faith.However,the man who gets a pre- scription is not in the same position as the doctor who writes it,and itisourguéssthatnenewspaperwill be found that will publish the names of such patients except as an adver- tisement over the signature of the doctor who wrote it. March Record Month For Breaking Up Illicit Distilleriés, Asheville Citizen. March was a record-breaking month in the internal revenue district with headquarters at Asheville,re- ports announcing the seizure of nine- ty-one illicit distilleries having been received at the office of Internal Rev- enue Agent R.B.Sams.It is an- nounced that this is the largest num- ber of seizures made in a_single month since the headquarters of the district were located here about four years ago.The district includes ter- ritory in three States,and of the ninety-one seizures made last month the captures were almost equally di- vided between the States composingthedistrict.In South Carolina thirty plants.were seized and thirty in-Vir- ginia were destroyed,while North Carolina-furnished thirty-one.The greatest number of seizures made was eighty-seven,this number being attained in January last.The num-ber of seizures recorded last Febru- ary was eighty-three.During the past month fifteen pros- ecutions were recommended in North Carolina,ten in South Carolina and twenty-seven in Virginia.In addi- tion to the illicit distilleries which were seized throughout the territory of this district in March about 390 gallons of unstamped whiskey was seized.A wagon and team of horses and a ‘yoke of oxen were seized and confiscated:by the government —be- |cause they were being used in remov-\ing whiskey upon which no tax hadbeenpaid.PLANETCLECOCC No matter how long you suffered,or whatotherremedieshavefailedtocure,FoleyKidneyPillawillsurelyhelpyou.They aregenuinelytonic,strengthening and curative,build up the kidneys and restore their regu-lar action.John Velbert,Foster,Calif.,says:“I suffered many years with kidney compulsory at-|o in any month previous to March,1913,|g ST ar eer ET PA ae SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE, Connecticut,the Thirty-Sixth State to Ratify the Amendment,Makes It Compulsory. Washington Dispatch,8th. Direct.election.of.United |States Senators by the people was authoriz- ed and made compulsory today when the Connecticut Legislature ratified the constitutional amendment submit- ted by Congress ‘less than a year ago. Ratification already had been given by 85 States.iThesituationthat results through- out the country where many Legisla- tures have adjourned until 1915 is such as to leave confusian in the minds of members of the Senate,as to how.the early steps toward direct election of Senators will be carried ut.While the proclamation of the Sec- retary of State announcing final rat- ification of the amendment by 36 States is required by law,Senators Bristow and Borah,leaders in the di- rect elections fight in Congress,ex- pressed the opinion today that the amendment is for all practical pur- poses now a part of the constitution.“Any man who may be elected to the Senate hereafter must be elect- ed directly”?said.Senator Borah. The new enactment gives to the State Legislatures,however;the right to prescribe the methods for electing Senators.Many Legislatures have adjourned and will not reconvene un- til early in 1915,a few weeks before the terms of over 20 Senators expire. It is expected that in many States the Legislatures will adopt the plan au- thorized in the new amendment—and direct the Governors to appoint Sen- ators temporarily,until the people can elect men at regularly called elections, Special sessions of the Legislatures will be urged in many States,so that the necessary laws can be passed be- fore the general elections of 1914.In some States action has already been taken or will be before the Legisla- tures end their present sessions,au- thorizing the people to vote for Sen- ators at next year’s election.ESAS Williams’Caranation and Violet talcum powder at 5 and 10c store at 15¢c.—ad.

To the working class it would be a great advantage;for instead of spend-ing their leisure hours at moving:pic- ture shows or in needless expenditure, they spend their time in a library or at home reading these books.A great benefit will bé derived and much idle- ness and crime eradicated by this non- attendance of the moving-picture show,one of the greatest of modern evils. The young men who at night make the streets as crowded a thoroughfare as in the daytime would.find more pleasure and spend their time much more profitably in a library reading good books.Every one derives pleas- ure from a library;but we there ob- tain-more than mere pleasure.In books there is a charm and uplift un- excelled in anything else. We now speak of the development of body,mind and soul brought about by this reading.In our work or play we perform it all the better and more speedily for the knowledge of the book awaiting the completion of the task. The mind is broadened and the emo- tions that great authors intend to pro- duce,but which have become dulled and rusty from so much novel read- ing,again become softened and are kept alive and respond to the author’s mood.Even the soul is benefited by these books of majesty and awe,as in “Paradise Lost.”We leave a book with the-resolution to lead better lives.It may be fulfilled;it may not. Above all is a library needed for the young people and to them it is most important,as they become the citi- zens of tomorrow,and much is de- pendent upon their youthful training whether our future government and laws shall have that broad-mindedness which the reading of the right kind of books gives.Then,too,in a pub- lic library there are found essentials for the school work,such as reference books,encyclopaedias,all current news These books and magazines are really necessary to the student in the prep- aration of his studies.Young peo- ple should be trained from childhood that-one of their best companions is a book.Let there be no delay in the erection of the library. child grows older.The young people of today are leaning toward the frivolous,toward the foolish,caused from excessive novel reading. library is the only remedy.There they may read-——not George Barr Mc- Cutcheon,BE.Phillip Oppenheim,Har- old McGrath,Myrtle Reed,or any of those authors,if you please.This kind of books or “novels,”as they are called,raise false impressions of life and excite the emotions to an undue extent,so that the emotions cannot be satisfied with anything but books of like character.Like cocaine,they poison and never satisfy;the mind calls for more.But,above all,this reading destroys the taste for more serious and deep reading and thought. This is the reason that a library is needed and at once;for while there is none,usually only books of the fiction order are circulated.This is the trouble with the young people,It will soon be too late.Expedition is advisable.After going so far they cannot stop.The nation will grow up a universe of silly,senseless prattlers. They have created a love of adventure. They eannot appreciate the beautiful descriptions and books of noble men. It is mot altogether the fault of theyoungpeople,but they should check this habit before it becomes a part of themselves. Build your library-vefore it is too Hate.The interest on the capital in- vested in this building may not come back to you in dollars and cents,but it will be repaid,it will be doubled, even trebled,by the many_strong-. hearted men and women that’will emerge from its doors in.future life.You build beautiful puildings for pub-lic use;why not build them for the mind as well as the body?It is one of the greatest institutions a city can have.Read Ruskin’s “Sesame and Lilies,”and if you are not convinced that every town needs a library,read it again,with more thought,and you will be.Books are beacon lights lead- ing to happiness,to success and tothatfargreaterhappinessinthebe- yond, With these words I leave you,hop- ing that they are not in vain,but will exert some influence on the final de- cision.

On Account of Youn: Girl.’ Asheville Gazette-News.: Suits of rather unusual nature hav: been started in Superior court by Pie- tro Fiscalatti,an Italian working on the Grove Park inn,who is a natural-ized American,against Miss SarahOwenby,R./A.Owenby,her father, and Lee Owenby,her brother.In one suit,against the young lady and her father,the Italian seeks to recover $1,200 which he contends he-gave the young lady to bind a marriage con- tract,as it were,and in the other he asks damages in the sum of $10,000 of the father and brother,on the alle- gation that he was shot and serious- ly ‘wounded by them.The OwenbysliveaboutfivemilesfromMurphy. The story goes that about two yearsagowhiletheyoungladywas_visit- ing relatives in Fort Tery,N.Y.,the plaintiff met and fell in love with her, and he contends that she apparentlyreturnedtheaffection;that he wished to marry her but desired to return toItalyforavisit.He alleges that the Miss Owenby expressed some doubt as to his returning to America,and he gave her $1,200 to insure his re- turn;that when he came back to America Miss Owenby had returned to her home in Cherokee and’‘he ‘also came to this State. The plaintiff alleges that when hewenttotheOwenbyhometofulfill his marriage agreement he was re- buffed by the three cefandants;and the father and brother forbade his coming on the place.Fiscalatti did go back,it is said,as he alleges;to ;demand the money tnat he had given ithe young lady,and the father and brother confronted him with a gun and pistol;and he contends that he was shot by one of them through the chest while he was holding up his hands,and that he was ill for a long |time and came rear dying.The Owenbys were cried at Murphy |for shooting the’Iralian,and were acquitted at the preriminary hearing }on the ground that he had sent threat- lening letters to the defendants.|The plaintiff has also started a third suit against the three Owenbys asking for a lien on certain land, |which he alleges was bought with the ;money which he gave to Miss Owenby. |The suits are brought through Judge W.P.Brown,Judge J.D.Mur- phy and Garland Thomason.Fiscal- atti has lived in the United States several years.

New York Dispatch. Adoption of the Sixteenth amend- ment to the constitution,which pro- ‘vides for a tax on incomes,marks the beginning of a new fiscal policy for this government.This method of taxation will involve a radical depar- ture from the system of raising gov- ernmental revenue by indirect taxa- tion that has obtained for more than 100 years.The tendency for the past 50 years has been to increase the free list,and this has inevitably led to the adop- tion of a direct tax.There is a_strik- ing parallel here to ‘Ae situation in Great Britain.: Four hundred and fifty years or more ago there were two experiments with an income tax in England.Each was brief and unsatisfactory.It was not tried again until 1798,and then distinctly as a war tax.As the for- tunes of war fluctuated for the next few years,the income tax was re- pealed or renewed.Once the rate was 10 per cent,again it was only 5 per cent.Under the lower rate it produced several times as much as un- der the high rate. At all times it was an object of popular execration and odium.In 1803 the principle of “collection at the source”was followed,which lessened the hatred of the tax.This principle has been a feature of every British income tax since.The tax remained so odious,however,that upon its re- peal in 1815,on the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars,Parliament ordered the destruction of all records and doc- uments pertaining to its collection,a proceeding.which was imitated by Congress when the income tax feat- ure of the Wilson-Gorman tariff act of 1894 was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.; It was not until 1842 that the in- come tax became a permanent feature of the British system.At that time Great Britain was facing,as the Uni- ted States does now,a decided change in fiscal policy.British manufactur- ers had been developed under the ‘who are preparing the income tax {missible in any.of the courts of this. measure to withhold its presentation‘to the House until after the tariff State.Any express company,railroad company or other transportation com- Ginghams31-2¢.-SheetingKBROS.measure is out of the way,so as to|pany ae the provisions of thisenablethemtodeterminefinallyup-|section shall be guilty of a misde-on the rate to be assessed against|meanor.Provided,upon the filing ofincome.a certificate signed by a reputableSeemomeenenneerennennbemrncinsesphysicianortworeputablecitizensSEARCHANDSEIZURELAW.|that the.consignee is unable,by reas-a eee pee on of sickness or infirmities of age,Full Text .oe ere Passed By to°“appear in person,then the saidtheRecentLegisiature,company is authorized to deliver anyThefollowingactpassedbythelast|package to the agent of said consigneeLegislatureandeffectiveApril18t|and the agent shall sign the name.ofathelinesalituletighteronthe|the consignee and his own name,and blind-tigers:j §xSection1,It shall be unlawful for ee pula aranctatpe seh psn)es han any person,firm,corporation,as80-|See,6.That in indictments for vio- ciation,or company,by whatever,lating section one of this act it shallnamecalled,other than druggists and |not be necessary to allege'a sale to amedicaldepositoriesdulylicensed|particular person,andthe violation ofthereto,to engage in the business of |the law may.be proven by circum-selling,exchanging,bartering,giving|stantial evidence as well as by di-away,for the purpose of direct or]rect evidence. indirect gain,or otherwise handling)None Excused from Testifying,spirituous,vinous oy malt jiquors in ae State of North Carolina,Any Sec.7.That no person shall be ex- person,firm or corporation or asso-cused from testifying on any prosecu- ciation violating the provisions of thi |tion for violating this act or any law act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.|against the sale or manufacture of in- Sec.2.That it shall.be unlawful|toxicating liquors,but no discovery for any person,firm,association,or made by such person shall be used | corporation by whatever name called,|against him in any penal or criminal| other than druggists and medical de-|Prosecution,and he shall be altogeth-| positories duly licensed thereto,to |°&pardoned for the offense done or| have or Keep in his,their or its pos-participated in by him. session for the purpose of sale,any spirituous,vinous or malt liquors; and proof of any one of the following facts shall constitute prima facie evi- Sec.8.That all laws or parts of laws in conflict with this act be and the same are hereby to the extent of| such conflict repealed.Provided, however,that nothing in this act shall Saturday only ‘5 Cents.

European countries generally em- ploy income taxes as revenue raisers. The principle of graduation is adopt- ed elsewhere much more widely than in Great Britain.The Austrian tax, for instance,rises in very smali steps and by fixed amounts per step.Cu- riously enough there is no income tax in Hungary.France has just adopt- ed the tax.Denntark introduced the system in 1903.In Prussia,Saxony, Bavaria and Wurttemberg taxes areleviedonincomes,but not in other German states,Itary,Norway and Switzerland employ graduated taxes on incomes..Spain has a system ya- ryipg materially from other countries in that the graduation is upon in- conies from ,diferent sources rather than on different amounts; The United States has had expe-| rience with an income tax,but only| aS a war measure.The principle had| been involved in numerous cases,and| constitutional lawyers contend that| many times,in an unbroken lineof |precedents,the Supreme Court has| Sustained it before it reversed this | judgment in 1895.Despite these pre-| cedents no effort to lay an income tax | was made until August,1861,when it | was invoked as a war measure.That| tax was laid on all incomes above|$800,and the rate fixed at 3 per cent.| In July,1862,the exemption was low- per cent between $600 and $1,000 and5percentonallincomesover$1,000.|shall be destroyed.In 1864 a joint resolution of Con-| gress laid a special tax of 5 per cent |bank incorporated under the laws of 4additionalforthatyearonly.This war tax was sustained unanimously by the Supreme Court,not as a di- rect tax,but as an excise tax.The entire provision was repealed in 1872. It had raised during its continuance$378,150,209. The income tax provision of the tar-iff act of 1894 was declared unconsti- tutional by the Supreme Court in May,1905,on the ground that it wasadirecttaxandsotapportioned among the several States according to their population,as the constitu- tion then provided should be done.

Early in the night the policeman noticed the Dalton negro come to the front door of the store and look in through the glass.Some time latertherearwindowwhichhadbeenun- latched was opened from the outside, the boy came in and closed the win- dow behind him.As he neared the cash register the officer stepped out, spoke to him and seized him by the coat collar.With screams of terror the negro made a break for the win- dow through which he had entered, and so strong did he struggle that his coat was torn into pieces and left in the hands of the officer.The officer got his hands on the negro again andattemptedtosubduehimbystrikinghimonthehead,but the boy contin- ued to make his way toward the win-dow.Reaching the window the negroLoeneseeintoit,crushed sash and glass “went through.Theofficerheldontohispreyandafterfollowinghimthroughthewindow, threw him to the ground and over- powered him.The negro received sev-eral cuts about the head from the broken window and was bleeding free- ly,leaving a stream of blood fromthewindowtowherehewasoverpow- ered. Dalton was placed in jail immedi-ately after his capture and later he told the officers that Lester Flow,another delivery boy for the Cash Grocery,had aided him in.his rob- beries of the store.He said that it was Flow who unlatched the window and that Flow was watching on the outside when he entered the store Thursday night.When arrested the Flow boy,who has a court-record,de- nied any knowledge of the robberies, but when the case was given a hear- ing before the mayor Friday both negroes were committed to jail in de- fault of bond.The Dalton boy had been spending money.rather freely at the carnival but the only money which missed from the storewastheamounttakenWednesday night.It is possible,however,that he had worked his game previous to that time,though not detected.¢ Buggy-Beat the Train to Taylorsville, Mr.Dick Ramsey,who has a repu- tation for fast driving,reports that®he beat the Taylorsville train on atripfromStatesvilletoTaylorsville one day last week.Miss Pearl Davis of Hiddenite and Miss Lillian Mathe- son of Taylorsville,who were visit- ing Miss Eva Dotson,had decided togohomeandMr.Ramsey proposedthathetakethemhoniethroughthe country in his buggy.Miss Davis saidshewasanxioustomakethetripas quickly as possible and would go on the train,while Miss Matheson agreedtogointhebuggy.Mr.Ramsey first took Miss Davis to the depot in timetoboardthetrain.He then returnedtothehomeofMissDotsonforMissMathesonandstartedon.the 20 miledrivetoTaylorsville,leaving States- ville about 11:30 o’clock,a few min-utes after the train had left.When.they reached Hiddenite the train hadnotarrivedthere.The train had somuchfreightthatithadlostmuchtimebystallingontheheaviestgradesandfinallyreachedTaylors-ville about 2 o’clock in two sections,the engine proceeding.with a portion of the freight and then returning fortheremainderofthetrain.'

The Washington newspaper cor- respondents who appear to be excit- ed over President Wilson’s more or Jess direct intimation that he will use his own judgment in making appoint; ments to office,not as a rule accept- ing.anybody’s recommendgtion as inal,are telling news to nobody who has studied the President.Woodrow Wilson,as his whole career shows, is the type of man who considers sug- gestions and asks for information about people and measures,but in the end he acts on his own judgment, as every man should do in important matters.It was for the reason that he was known to be “no man’s man,” that he was known to be a man who could not be controlled by anybody, that he was so-strongly opposed for the nomination by the machine ele- ment of the party.The machine éle- ment wanted a man in the White House who would appoint to office only such men as suited the machine and such men as would strengthen the machine's dominations of the party..That’s the whole story. In the North Carolina appoint- ments for instance—and in all other eases for that matter—The Landmark believes that the President will use his own judgment after he has ob- tained all possible information from all sources;it believes that as a*rule the recommendations of”Senators Simmons and Overman and the mem- bers of Congress wilt prevail,but that their recommendations will by no means be final if the President thinks they have recommended an _tndesir- able citizen.This paper has no idea that Secretary Daniels will attempt to dictate the North Carolina appoint- ments or to influence the President to disregard the recommendations of the Senators.It does believe,however, that the President will depend on Secretary Daniels to give him infor- mation about the men recommended for office in this State and will con-| sider this information in making up | his mind.| Tt is not an unheard of thing for the |President to disregard the recom- mendations of Senators.Mr.Cleve.|land,for instance,refused to appoint |Hezekiah Gudger collector on the| recommendation of Senator Senator Vance defeated Mr,Cleve-| land’s man,Kope Elias,but the ap-|pointment then went to another man,| Capt.M.E.Carter.Mr.Wilson,we believe,is more of a diplomat than Mr.Cleveland.In case he the recommendation of th Vance. turns down he will probably name a man to whose |confirmation the Senators cannot ob-|ject.eee NEW IDEA FOR POSTAL SERVICE Postmaster General ideas as to the postal sery first consideration—are good,but thegentlemanfromTexaswillhearsomethingwhenheundertakestotransferamanfromonelocalityamdmakehimpostmasterjnanotherlo-cality.Thete is really nothing wrongwiththepropositionexceptitisn’t acustom.The idea is to have efficient andtrainedmenforthepostalService.When there is a vacancy to1 be filledanavailableman‘is sent to fill it,_Who he is or where he comes fromdoesn’t count;thg only requirement iscapacity.The same idea applies tomunicipalgovernmentinMenareeducatedandtrainenicipaladministrationaemploy busines Germany, d for mu- nd they aredforthatpurposejana8corporationsem7imen,regardless of eaefrom.When we reach that point inthiscountrythatwecandissociate+the postal service or municipal goy-ernment,purely business mattersfromtheideaofpartyrewardsandPoliticalService,we will Yealize thattheideaisthecorrectone,ae:But it will take time.HeretoforeithasbeénthecustomtoappointaSefromamongtheresidentsofthetownorcommunityinwhichtheofficeislocated.—In case of atown,an aspirant.who lives in theboundsoftheofficedeliverybutoutSidethetown,is handicapped if notbarred.To bring in a strangernon-resident of the communit:aecountyorPossiblytheStateslrstartsomethingatfirst.When thPeoplebecameaccustomedtoitth ;_would offer little objection,for it "&®fact that the only real interest themasseshaveintheserviceisefficientservice.When they get that the per-sonality of the man,so long as he is®respectable citizen and behaves him-self,is of little concern,generally Speaking.

In such cases as the President deems proper the Senators’recommenda- tions will be accepted,but it was made clear today that the President does not consider it necessary nor will he do so except when the man recommended by Senators is the man the President himself wants appoint- ed.: Mr.Wilson’s own Yanguage is not quoted because it is not deemed good“etiquette”to quote the President of the United States and correspondents violating this anwritten law may find themselves barred from White House conferences or even from the press gallery.His answer,however,was so plain that no one could mistake his meaning. Because of the known opposition of Secretary of the Navy Daniels to the appointment of Col.A.D.Watts as collector for the western district of North Carolina,it is ramored here to- night that Mr.Daniels will tell the President certain things about other men who are slated for appointment to Federal positions in North Carolina. Should Mr.Daniels continue the policy already begun of opposing Senators Simmens and Overman,a most inter- esting situation will develop,It may go so far that the Senators from the State will refuse to confirm nomina- tions that they must be held responsi- ble for unless their recommendations for appointment are accepted by Mr. Wilson.Mr.Daniels,if he desires to do so,can have the first say with the President,but if Senator SimmaensandOvermanmakeuptheirmindsto oppose appointments not agreeable to them,nominations cannot get through the Senate. The President wants the best men available,and in North.Carolina is just as apt to act upon the advice of Secretary Daniels or former Govern- or Glenn,E.J.Justice,Col.W.H. Osborne or any other prominent North Carolinian in whom he has con- fidence as upon the advice of one or both Senators.He made it clear he intends no reflection upon any Sena- tor.He merely reserves his freedomofactionintheappointivefield.In this connection it was learned late to- night that the President has already conferred with prominent citizens of Wilmington in regard to the appoint- ment of a man to succeed Thomas Wallace as postmaster.It has been understood for some time that J.J. Furlong would be recommended by Representative Godwin.It is knoWn that the President has been given the record of Furlong and has intimated that he will not send his’nomination ta the Senate.Just ‘what the objec- this time. his own judgment in the matttr of accepting recommendations for post- masters.If any of the recommenda- tions for postmasters already sent toPostmasterGeneralBurleson,for any reason,are objectionable the Presi-dent doeS not feel that he will have to follow custom and appoint them. The Washington correspondents see things differently.The correspondent of the Charlotte Ovserver,who was with the correspondents who met the President at the White House at the time mentioned by the News,says the President asked the correspond- ents to disregard the custom of notquotinghiminthedispatches.Of the incident reported by the News’ correspondent the Observer corres-pondent says: “Asked,about the reports in theStatethatMr.Daniels,Secretary of the Navy,would also have a voice inthedistributionofpatronagethePresidentreplied: ““There is no set rule about that,’which was interpreted to mean thathewouldfollowthecustomofhispredecessorsinconsultingtheDemo-cratic Representatives of the variousStates,but would not be disagreeabletoacabinetadviser.” the President’s remark.‘<eneeaeeenantenneetemees STATE OF OHIO,CITY OF TOLELUCASCOUNTY,~— Frank J.Cheney makes oath {ustheisseniorpartnerofthefirmofFf.J.ow &Co,,doing business tn theCityofToledo,County and State afore-anid,and that said firm wili the not be cured the use of Hall’-tarrh Cure.wy J.; A.Ww,GLEABON.otary bile.Halla Catarrh Cure is taken internal>iy.and -_direct],=the blood anducoussurfacesfortestimonials,free..en eesia"4 CHENBRY &CO.,Toledo,O. “all drugs :Take "a ty”Pas tion to Furlong is cannot be stated at \tand lies level.

President Wilson told the newspa- ser correspondents Friday that it would be the policy of the adminis- tration to permit Republican office- holders to serve out their terms un- less there»was good,sound reason for their removal.What may be considered a “g00a,sound reason” for removal is of course a matter for the judgment of the President and his cabinet.While the statement will not be pleasant.news for those who be- lieve that all Republicans should be ousted “immediately,if not sooner,” there was no reason to expect.that the President would act otherwise. His past conduct and his public ut- terances are in line with that view; in fact many Democrats who opposed him :for the nomination based their opposition on that ground.«This much in fairness to the President,and it is also fair to say that this rule was followed by both the Cleveland administrations. There is one point in this’connec- tion,however,that The Landmark thinks can be made with some force, and that is that some of the Repub- lican officeholders whose commissions do not expire for two and three years would be out this year if their com- missions had dated from the expira- tion of former terms,counting four years a term.In the case of District Attorney Holton,for instance,whose commission it is said does not expire until 1915.He was first appointed in 1897 and counting four years to a term his commission should expire this year.The same is true of the postmaster at Statesville.The Re- publican postmaster under President Harrison was appoinced in the spring of 1889.His four-year term expired in the spring of 1893,a few months after Cleveland was inaugurated,and a Democrat was appointed.The four years of the Democrat expired in the spring of 1897,a few months af- ter McKinley was inaugurated.Count-| ing four years to a term,the com- mission of the Statesville postmaster THE CONFLICT COMING. It is evident that a conflict between members of Congress and the Presi- dent will result over the distribution of the patronage.The President will not accept’the recommendations of Senators and Representatives asfinal in all cases,but will use his own judgment and hear evidence from oth- ers.There are threats from Congress- men that in such cases nominees will not be confirmed;or that no recom- mendations will be made andRepubli- cans will be allowed to hold on.The President is a fighter,however,and he will not be bluffed by threats. Moreover,he is of the opinion that the offices belong to the people,that they are to be filled for the good of the public service;that appointments to the public service are not the person- al perquisites of the members of either branch of Congress and are not intended to pay personal and po- litical debts and burid up @ political machine for Congressmen.This does not mean that members of Congress will not be consulted nor does it mean their recommendations will be reject- ed in all cases;but it does mean that their recommendations will not be accepted as final when the President believes’the party recommended is not a proper man. Patronage is usuaily a source of weakness and from that standpoint the members of Congress might wel- come the opportunity to have the President share the responsibility. If any member of Congress in North Carolina is defeated for renomination next year;or if Senator Overman should be defeated,it may be put down now that the distribution of patronage will be the main reason. The great mass of the people,who have no concern about the offices ex- cept efficient service,should not al- low themselves to become involved in the disturbance,They are vastly more concerned about the passage of a tariff bill and an economical and efficient administration of the gov- ernment than whether Tom Jones or Bill Jackson shall be postmaster at Piney Creek. Quoting expressions of dissatisfac- tion with the tariff bill from many cotton mill men in Washington last week,the Washington correspondent of the Greensboro News says: A North Carolina manufacturer said that Senator Simmons had told him that he could not help the situ- ation.He said even if Senator Sim- mons was so disposed,his committee would prevent his aiding ‘the cotton should expire this spring,whereas it does not expire until December,1914. This change in the term,as in the case of District Attorney Holton,was caused by failure to recommission the officeholder immediately on the ex- piration of his term,or to date his commission on the date of expiration of his term.By this means the office- holder gained time—in the case of the Statesville postoffice about a year and a half. While The Landmark has no dispo- sition to criticise the Statesville post- master personally or his administra- tion of the office,or to start a move- ment.for his removal before the ex- piration of his commission,it cites his.case and that of District Attor- ney Holton to Mlustrate the point as to terms;and it is inclined to hold that it would be entirely fair to count these terms for four years and not allow the time which elapsed by reas- on of the failure to recommission promptly.It should be said for the Statesville postmaster that he is not the beneficiary of tne lapse,that oc- curring during the term of his prede- cessor.The present postmaster took office at the date of his commission, December,1910,and his four years of actual service will not expire un- til December,1914.This,however, cannot be said for District Attorney Holton,who has held the job all the time. The Charlotte Chronicle —-hears “physiologists and inventors are working on a machine that will tell whether one is lying.There is some psycho-thermal effect upon the body which the mechanical instrument is intended to measure.”Such a machine .would be a great institution;but if it’s |the idea that when one is deviating from the truth there is some sort of physical agitation which the machine would detect,it would prove a failure in many cases.There are some liars *so accomplished that they can pre- varicate without batting an eye;can tell a lie with more ease—because so accustomed to it—than they“speak the truth. can ingston Murphy,M.D.,for about 25 /years superintendent of the State Hospital at Morganton,will be pre- sented to the State Library today by ~the Medical Society of North Carolina. ;The presentation on behalf of the so- ciety will be made by Dr.Richard HH.Lewis of Raleigh and Gov.Craig )This is a fitting honor to the memory of Dr.|gathered at a school house an will accept the portrait. *Murphy.‘Morganton,a great work for the _State,and his memory should be perpetuated.: Jthat Senator Simmons could not con- He did a great work at |boys,Wade Moore and Mose Tyson, mill men.

Mrs.Katherine McDonough,who died in a hospital in New York last week,was the victim of a peculiar accident.Over a week before her death she was struck over the eye with a nursing bottle by her infant daughter.The injury was at first re- garded as trivial,but it became so painful that the mother was removed to a hospital,where thraumatic men- ingitis developed. health service,has told Dr.Friedmann that until the exact nature of his tuberculosis vaccine and the method of its preparation had been revealed and the claims made for it substan- to a good many people.While Sena- tor Simmons may not have been re- sponsible for creating the impres- sion,a good many mill men who were very enthusiastic in support of his candidacy last summer were largely moved by the idea that the Senator would be in a position to help them position as is now fac-in just such a i The further statementingthem. trol his committee if he wanted to aid the mill men,is also enlightening.ED In the House Democratic caucus that was considering the tariff bill, last week,Congressman Webb of North Carolina made «plea for free castor oil—to have castor oil admit- ted free of duty—-saying it is “the poor man’s greatest.medicine.”Mr. Webb is right but there are a lot of people who have had to take the stuff who would like to tax it so high that it couldn't be brought into ‘the country.It was kind of Congress- man Webb;however,seeing that he was instrumental tn limiting the booze supply of many people,to en- deavor to give them a liberal supply of castor oil. All parents of boys should be in- terested in plans and purposes of the organization of Boy Scouts,printed in The Landmark today.The object, as will be seen,is to encourage boys in proper habits,to help them grow into useful and honvrable men.The organization is in good hands and parents should not only encourage their boys to join the Scouts but the community generally should encour- age the movement.

President Wilson is in favor of ex- empting labor unions and farmers’ organizations from the operation of the Sherman arfti-trust law,as pro- vided for in the amendments attached to the sundry.civil bill last session.

Washington Dispatch to GreensboroNews.} Postmaster General Burleson has determined to effect the most radi- cal re-organization of the postal ser- vice ever proposed in the history ofthecivilreformofthiscountry.Theplanuponwhichheisatworkisdis- tinguished my these features;Allpostmastersshallbeplacedunderthecivilserviceandrequiredtopassan examination for adiatssion,retentionandpromotion.Postmasters shall beappointedandtransferredwithoutre-gard to loéality so that,for’exam-ple,a resident of.New York could bemadepostmasteratGreensboroandaresidentofGreensborocouldbemadepostmasteratSanFrancisco.The Postmaster General has reach-ed the conclusion that,politics is a blight on the postal service;that post- masters are appointed as a reward forpoliticalservicesandnotfortheir fitness to discharge the duties of the office. Mr.Burleson,however,does not éx-pect to spring.this comprehensiveplanonCongressallatonce..He will begin in a modest*way to give a de- monstration of his ideas.He will be- gin his radical change by holding ex- aminations for the 36,000 postmasters which were placed under the civil ser- vice by President Taft.Those whopasstheexaminationwillberetained and those who do not.will be removed. This examination will be open to out- siders also and an eligible list of fourth class postmasters will be es- tablished and vacancies will be filled from this list. It is Mr.Burleson’s intention in the appointment of fourth class post- masters to experiment with the propo- sition of ignoring geographical con- sideratiéns.Wherever a vacancy oc- curs the man at the top of the eligi- ble list will be appointed regardless of the”fact that he does not reside in the community affected.If the scheme works well Mr.Burleson will ask Congress to enact legislation placing first,second and third class postmaster under similar regulations and subject to assignment without re gard to locality. Appeal to Be Made For a Federal Bureau of Markets. At the close of the session of the conference on markets and farm cred- its,in session in Chicago for three days,a-committee of which Clarence Poe of North Carolina is a member, was appointed to go to Washington and present to President Wilson con- clusions of the 500 scientific agri- culturists,financiers and economists. The report of the committee on res- olutions says,among other things: “The cost of taking the products of the farm to the consumers is un- necessarily larye and the methods em- ployed are wasteful.Economical and efficient methods for the distrt- bution of these farm products are ofpre-eminent importance in reducing the cost and raising the standard of living.The government should es- tablish an effective agency for the study of the problems of marketing and for the distribution of informa- tion as to conditions and needs and rational methods of meeting these needs, “We urge the nation-wide necessi- ty of a general reform in our curren- cy,banking and credit systems as the most important legislation to be undertaken by Congress.Compre- hended in this national plan must be facilities for securing the wide cir- culation of the notes of farmers,mer- chants,manufacturers and business men ‘generally through proper dis- count and rediscount systems.We fa- vor thé enactment of both State and Federal laws which will provide for the organization and proper super- vision of co-operative and credit as-sociations for both farmers and wage earners;also eo-operative long time land-mortgage associations,as wel)as joint stock and long time land mort- gage banking.” North Carolina Sunday School Con- vention at Greensboro. The programme for the North Car- colina Sunday Schoot Convention,to be held in Greensboro April 22-24, promises to be one of much interest and helpfulness.Three speakers of international reputation have been booked for this convention in addi- tion to the splendid array of home talent.A large,new warehouse with a seating capacity of 3,000 has been secured for the regular sessions and a large platform will be built to seat a chorus choir of 300 voices. The counties can send two delegates for each township in the county, though they do not need to be elected by townships,but can come from any part of the county that seems most convenient.Each Sunday school of all denominations can send two dele- gates.They can be pastors and su-perintendents,or two others volun-teering,elected or appointed,and should more desire to come from larger schools they will be taken care of as long as there is room.Colleges and high schools can send two for ey- ery 50 students. All who expect w attend should send their names to the North Caro- lina Suday School Association,or toC.C.McLean,chairman of commit- tes on entertainment,Greensboro, N.C.,that homes may be provided as early as poasible.As a specialtyistobemadeofthesecondarydi-vision,there should be a number ofdelegatessentfromclassesofteenages,so send some bright bovs andris, "Why He Was Late. “What made you so late?”“wen ee “Well,that no why you shouldbeanhourlateputinghowetosupper.”“I know,but I asked him haw he was feel-ing,and he insisted on telling me about his——ee is”ou im to take Chamberlain’Tablets ore “Sure,that is what he needs.”Sold byalldealers, The Origin of Honey Dew—It is NotGoodForBees.- Wilkesboro Patriot. The great quantity of honey dewthathasbeenobservedinallparts of this county this spring has cre-ated much comment and many per-sons,no doubt,have been speculat-ing upon the reasons for.its exist-ence.To use a slang phrase,theyhavebeenmadetoscratchtheirheadsandwonderwhoputthehoneyinthehoneydew;also as to its value tobeesformakinghoney.Some timeagoMr.T.J,Bryan of Traphill,thiscounty,who has an extensive colonyofbees,wrote the Purriot a letter telling about the copious showers of honey dew that had fallen in thatsection.We sent the letter to -theDepartmentofAgricultureatWash-ington and following is the reply re- ceived: *“Honey dew is usually of:insect origin,being secreted by plant lice,scale insects and .leaf hoppers. crete a’sweet substance,often call- ed honey dew,from.glands eutsidetheflowers.The honey dew reported by Mr:Bryan,of Traphill,N.C.,isprobablyofinsectorigin. “When bees gather honey dew and store it,the name honey dew honey is usually given to the product.Itis of in- ferior quality’and should not be sold as honey._It is often the source of: considerable loss in winter if the bees eat it and are unable to fly in bad weather.It is therefore desirable that it all be taken away from them before the coldest weather comes.I fear Mr.Bryan will be disappointed hat the product on more careful exam- ination.” New Postmasters Recommended.

Washington Dispatch,11th. “When the people plead for a great-er American navy we will have it and not till,then,”declared Secretary Dan-iels in an address at the annual ban-quet of the Navy League of the Unit- ed States here tonight.si“If we can convince the people of the United States that the navy is theirs and that you and I are hereastheirservantstocarryouttheir wishes and interests in regard to it,”he said,“I will feel that my service here has not been in-vain.I do not want the people to feel that the navy is anchored somewhere away.from them in the far mid-ocean ofprofessionalism,but that it is moored alongside every American home foritsprotection,I want them to know about it,not only its glories of the past but its present efficiency and its future possibilities.” Referring to the victories of the navy in the Spanish-American war, he said many people thought those victories showed that this country was not in need of any larger navy,but that wise men took an oppositeview.“This preparedness,”he added, “can be had only by rounding out and completing the navy and making it large enough to be the strong right arm of the republic and to do the work for which the right arm is in- tended,not for punishment,not for injury to others,but for protection of one’s self and one’s country.Let’s have done once and for ever with the silly boastings of the stripling— that we are able to lick any nation on earth.” In conclusion,he said there must be co-operation:between naval ex- perts and the people if the latter are to be given correct information con- cerning the development of the navy. “People must be invited to make suggestions and to criticise,”said Secretary Daniels.“The public offi- cer who does not like suggestions and eriticisms has no business in the public service.” Shoe Machinery on Free List-—First Change in Tariff BilL Shoe machinery,now taxed 65 per cent and on which a reduction to 25 per cent was proposed by the tariff revision bill,was ordered transferred to the free list by the Democratic caucus of the House Friday.It was the first real break of the Democrats from the Ways and means committee rates,though earlier in the day the eaucus had agreed to an amendment offered by Represencative Palmer of Pennsylvania,a member of the com- mittee and in charge of the metal schedule,under which lead,contain- ing a strain of less than 3 per cent of zinc,would be admitted free of duty. For three days there had been a EASE Would See The Lord Later. Lancaster News. One evening last week while the storm in the Middle Western States was at its highest,Mr.Jack Bailey, cotton-weigher and all-round good fel-low,received a message that the storm was headed this way.That afternoon he spread the news to the darkies working on his farm atSpringdell.Some frills were added totheoriginalstoryastheboyspass-ed it along.One old fellow seemed greatly worried when they told him that it would pass right through Springdell.It was a tremendous storm,he was told,sweeping every- thing as it went,a thousand negroesinoneStatehadbeenblownfromtheearth,etc. That night when the old darky went to his home he told his wife that he only wanted a bite to eat as he was feeling badly.After eating a few mouthfuls he went to his room.Of course the boys were watching him and also listening.He dropped on his knees and began: “O,Lord,I ain’t had much to do with you here of late and I can’t talk jes’like I want to,but you sho am dead after me now.De only thing I ax of you is that you see me through tonight and I'll see you later.Amen.” 55al As a result of a fight between thepoliceandAmericansailorsatGuay- mas,Sonora,Mexico,last Wednesday two sailors from the United States erusier California were killed and three wounded.It is said the sailors were drunk but there is admittedly a strong anti-American feeling in that locality. —UNIQUE NAME Can You Pronounce Name Of Wocld's Most Famous Catarrh Remedy? sHigh-o-me—that’s the proper way to pronounce HYOMET,the sure breathing remedy that has rid tens of thousands of people of vile and dis- gusting Catarrh.

He Tells New Yorkers That the Lim- it of Special Privilege Has n Reached and the Temper of the ‘American People Will No Longer Brook Oppression.5 New York Dispatch,12th. Vice President Marshall served warning tonight on men of.vast wealth and on “special privilege”that the temper of the American people had reached a point where it no long- er would brook oppression.He told the members of the national Demo- cratic club that the spirit of unrest was such that unless reckoned with the institutions of.the government might be jeopardized and the country revert to paternalism or turn to So- cialism.: “Current opinion holds,justly or unjustly,”he said,“that the welfare of the people of this country depends not a little upon the conduct of cer- tain men in this city of New York. 1 have concluded,therefore,to beard the lion in his den,in the hope that he may hear. “Present advantages shut our eyes to the permanency of our institutions. Not what we are nor what we can make has come to be the measure of governmental duty and individual conduct.And yet,despite this the- ory of life,Carl Marx and hunger and a longing for happiness are abroad in the land.They are sitting as un- known guests at every frugal meal. They are perturbing the waking hours and coloring the dreams of millions of Americans who,after all,have the right to say what shall or shall not be.” The Vice President declared his warning was the result of observa- tion of conditions in 27 Northern States during the recent presidential campaign.Swollen fortunes and the accumulation of great wealth through governmental privileges granted,he held had much to do with the discon- tent.“Along with general prosperity has come a marvelous*piling-up of colos- sal private fortunes.Notwithstanding charges against me that I have free- ly assaulted the possessors of these fortunes,I know in my own heart that such a view of my public utter- ances is a mistaken one.My as saults,if |have made any,have not been directed to the possessors of the fortunes but at the principles of gov ernment which contribute,directly or indirectly,to the accumulatron of for- tunes.The piling-up of colossal for- tunes,supplemented by a general dif fusion of knowledge,has made large bodies of people restive. “The desire of the people is for greater equality of opportunity and enjoyment.More and more,men are coming to the belief that Socialism alone will open up and guarantee this equality.If 1 were the possessor of a vast and growing fortune and had made up my mind that the govern- ment should continue to help me make it grow;or if I were a Socialist,I would frown down upon the educa- tional system of America. “Have backward-looking and _in- ward-looking men ever stopped to consider what might happen to them in the great State of New York if those who have not should take it in- to their heads to make common cause against those who have’They talk about vested rights and in their talks assume they have both an inher- ent and constitutional right to pass their property down from generation to generation until some reckless de- scendant shall have dissipated it.Sup- se Governor and Veneral Assembly mm the State of New York should re- peal the statute of descents for realandpersonalpropértyandthestat- ute with reference to the making of wills,on their death how much vest- ed interest would any relative have in the property which fell from their nerveless hands at the hour of disso- lution?The right to‘inherit and the right to devise are neither inherent “mor constitutional but on the contra- ry they are simply pmvileges given by the State to its citizens. “Let backward-looking and inward- looking men read the returns of the last election.Let them put on masks, go down into the East Side and hear what people are saying about them. Let them not close their eyes and dream that what has been forever will be.All that a man hath will he give for his life,and he is not wise who, having plenty,risks it all to get alittlemore. “The belief that there is an une- qual distribution of wealth in this country has been supplemented by the belief that much of it has been ob- tained through special privilege,that it did not come by labor,skill,indus- try,barter or trade,but through wa- tered stocks and bonds,through cor-ners on commodities,through corrup-tion of Legislatures,through the saleofimpurefoodstuffs,through wreck-ing railroads,througn all the devicesknowntomanwherebythelawisnotabrogatedbutchloroformed.”Mr.Marshall assailed the protectivetariffasoneoftheprincipaleausesforconcentrationofwealthand.de-elared that the protection of coni-modities had resulted “in free tradeinconscience.” “Let those who started,”he said“and are keeping up this theory ofspecialprivilegewhichfindsitsroot,its sap and vigor in prohibitive du.ties,believe me when I say that achangehascomeacrossthespiritoftherepublic.Be not deceived.Ourticeisceasingtobeperpendicu-and is beginning to be horizontal.

The Chinese declaration of inde-pendence,which took the form of anaddresstotheworld,was made pub-lic last week.It reads as follows: “On this eighth day of the fourth.month in the second year of the Re-public of China,the date fixed for the first opening of ou?permanent Na- tional Assembly,the members of theSenate,and the House of Representa-tives having ‘met in these halls to celebrate the event,now make thisdeclarationoftheirsentiments.“The will of Heaven is manifestedthroughthewill.of the people.That the hundreds of miltions of the peo-ple possess the authority of the State is not proclaimed now for the firsttime.The monarchy,so long corrupt, proved unworthy of the grave re- sponsibilities entrusted to it by thewillofthepeople,but with the intro- duction of popular’government,the representatives of the people mustsharethelikesanddislikesofthepeo- ple.They are to give expression to the desires and voice the will of the people;they hold the reins<in behalf of the nation to govern with severity or leniency,with parsimony or ex- travagance;they become the pivot up- on which the prosperity of the State is made to turn.For the success or failure,safety or danger,adversity or good fortune,theirs is the merit or the blame.” John F.Fogleman Charged With Mur- der in Greensboro. John F.Fogleman-is in jail for mur- der and four negroes,Will Blunt, Fletcher Reed,Jack Galloway and Hampton Winchester,are.held as ma- terial witnesses for the State as the result of police investigation into the killing of W.H.Tucker,who was shot and killed on the streets of Greens- boro Wednesday night,the shot being fired from ambush.It is said the evi- dence is clear that Fogleman fired the shot.He is known as the “blind tiger king”and has often been in trouble for selling liquor.His parents are respectable people and his father is worth considerable money.: The coroner’s jury held Fogleman responsible for the killing,one wit- ness testifying that he saw Fogleman shoot Tucker.Tucker was a strang- er to Fogleman,the two having met the first time that day.The shoot- ing is believed to be due to Tucker creating the impression that he was a detective.Fogleman,being an ex- tensive blind tiger operator,had a natural aversion to detectives.Tuck- er was not a detective but liked to make that impression when under the influence of drink. An Unconquerable Spirit That Looms Larger. Monroe Enquirer. The folks in the flood district in the central West think theirs is the hard- est lot ever,but not so.There were thousands of families throughout the South 48 years ago in worse fix than are the flood sufferers.Here in the South,in many instances in 1865, homes and property were gone,the bread winners killed and there were no relief funds pouring in.The in- domitable grit,the sublime faith and the unconquerable spirit that rebuilt the South looms larger as the years come and go.No,a little flood that sweeps aw people and leaves a few thousand folks in distress in a land of plenty where there are thousands to lend a helping hand,is not anything like as distressing as were the dark days from 1865 to 1870 in this Southern country. No Cry of Distress Unheeded. Monroe Enquirer. No cry for help goes unheeded in this good country.Wherever there is distress,when.want and woe and misery comes.“upon people,when storm or flood or pestilence comes upon them and they are left deso- late and helpléss,then it is that the great American heart is touched and the purse-strings of a nation are loos- ed and help comes quickly,generous- ly and the cry of distress is hushed and-the need supplied.And not only in our own countfy but the world around,wherever there is suffering and want there the American touch of sympathy and help is given.To feed the hungry,clothe the naked,to minister to the sick and the distress-ed,that is genuine Christiantiy.ertimnemnentieiannibiatinng Warrant Issued For Alleged Brutal Father.

Ousted Under Charges Which AreBeingInvestigated. Washington Dispatch,16th.oy Prof.Willis L.Moore,chief of the weather bureau since 1895,and an ap- pointee of the Cleveland administra- tion,today was summarily removed from office by President Wilson.Hisresigfiationrecentlyhadbeenaccept-ed to take effect July 31,but after an investigation of his alleged efforts to become Secretary of Agriculture in the present cabinet,grave chargesofirregularitywerepreferredandthePresidenttodaywithdrewhisaccept-ance of the resignation and dismissedProfessorMoore,Later he referredthesubjecttotheDepartmentofJus-tice for inquiry.Secretary Houston of the Ayricul- tural Department conferred with thePresidentbeforetheremovalofMr. Moore was Announced.The Secretary then issued the following statement:“Immediately after the resignationofProfessor.Movre of the weather bu- reau was submitted to the President and accepted by him,charges werefiledwiththeSecretaryofAgricul-tue by responsible men within the ser- vice.These charges were of such a grave nature that the Secretary ofAgriculturecalledupontheDepart- ment of Justice for an investigation. “The investigation is still under way,but the facts so far secured and laid before the President ‘yesterday were sufficient to warrant him in de- ciding to withdraw his acceptance of Professor Moore’s resignation and re- move him summarily,which has peen done today.The President has also directed the Secretary of Agriculture to suspend Mr.Charles T.Burns,an employe of the weather bureau,pend- ing a further investigation of his case, and take such disciplinary measures as he may deem necessary with such other employes of the weather bureau as may be found to have been unduly active in using the public service for private and personal ends.” Professor Moore issued a statement tonight declaring that the same_in- fluences that attempted to “disgrace and remove Dr.Harvey W.Wiley” were responsible for his removal and branding as.“infamously false’any intimation that he had coerced em- ployes of the weather bureau in supporting him for the secretaryshiporthatpublicmoneyhadbeenex-pended in his candidacy. Did the President.Send For Godwin? Washington Dispatch,16th,to Greens- boro News. A rumor here tonight is that Presi- dent Wilson,through Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson,has sent for Represen- tative Godwin and told him that he could not appoint the man whom the sixth district Congressman had inti- mated that he wanted named for the Wilmington office.The President,so the rumor goes,indicated to Mr.God- win the man he desired named and this is the man whom Godwin will recommend.As already stated in these dispatches,H.McL.Green,it is believed,will be the man who finallylandstheWilmingtonplum.It is known that Green is not objectionable to President Wilson and Postmaster General Burleson.Certain other men who have been prominent candidates for the postmastership,it is learned, will not be tolerated by the President. Congressman Godwin,when seen at Congress Hall hotel tonight,positively refused to confirm or deny the rumor. He said if the ramor is true it would _have to come from.another source.“Did you go to the White House to-night?”Mr.Godwin was asked: “As I have already stated,I cannot confirm or deny the rumor,”was God-win’s reply. The Collectorship. Mr.J.A.Hartness,who spent a fewdaysinWashington,returned home Tuesday..Concerning the collector- ship contest,in which there is much interest,Mr.Hartness says there is really nothing new.Senators Sim- mons and Overman saw the President and a statement of their interview ap-pears on another page of The Land- mark today.In making appointments the President will accept the recom- mendations of Senators and Represen-tatives unless he finds the persons they recommend unsatisfactory.Insuchcasehewillaskthemtorecom-mend another man.It is known that Senators Simmons and Overman will,later on,recom-mend the appointment of Mr.A.D.Watts as collector and Mr.Watts’friends,Mr.Hartness says,expecthimtobeappointed;that is,the im-pression in Washington.Just whenthecasewillbetakenupisnotknown; neither is it known what the Presi-dent.will say when the matter is passed up to him. agin pes a Can’t Be Conveyed By The Landmark told in its last issue of a cow belonging to Mr.M.S.Hed- rick of Loray community developingacaseofhydrophobia.Use of.themilkwasdiscontinuedassoonasitwasdiscoveredthatthecowwassick, which was two days before she was killed.Mr.Hedrick was uneasy,how-ever,about the use of the milk prior to.that time,and Wednesday he tele-graphed Dr.C.A.Shore,who is inchargeof.the Pasteur treatment inRaleigh,for information.Dr,Shoreansweredasfollows:“So far as known hydrophobia can-not be conveyed from food.”This ‘was.a rélier to Mr.Hedrickandtheinformationwillbeofbenefittootherswhomayfindthemselvesinasimilarsituation. « A Drama and the Old Fiddlers—Per- soual Items.

Every effort of fond-parents,loving friends,trained nurses and_skilled physicians was exercised in an en- deavor to save her precious life, but her Saviour beckoned her to the other shore,and,if such can _be, there must have been an unusual reign of joy and gladness and rejoic- ing among the angels when the pearly gates stood ajar and the soul andspiritofJessieWitherspoonjoinedtheinnumerablehostsinheaven. “Salisbury knew no fairer,purer, nobler young woman than the deceas- ed.She was the embodiment of love- liness and kindness,and her presence in any company spread cheer and ladness and sunshine and merriment. jloom faded in “her presence like mist before the noonday sun.As a friend she was true and loyal;as a daughter and sister she was all that that relationship requires.Her friends were limited only by the num- ber of her acquaintances and to claim her friendship was a privilege to be highly prized.There was no deceit about Jessie Witherspoon;she was the same sociable,agreeable and af- fectionate girl to all of her friends. She possessed every requisite of a true and noble and good woman,and, although her sweet life was short, the world is better for her having lived in it;and her life will be a help,a blessing and an inspiration to those who knew and loved her.” Mr.Charlie Lindsay .of -Bessemer City died Tuesday about noon at the home of his brother,Mr.T.B.Lind- say,at Bloomfield,death resulting from tuberculosis.Funeral services were.conducted at the residence Wed-nesday afternoon by Rev.S.W.Had- don and.the burial was in Oakwood cemetery.Mr.Lindsay .came_to Statesville last,week to visit his brother at Bloomfield.While it wasknownthathewashopelesslyafflict- ed,his death was unexpected.Hewasabout27yearsotdandhasawife and two children who are with Mrs. Lindsay’s people at Gastonia,having gone there to stay while Mr.Lindsay was here.

That is apparently so plain an in- timation that their attitude in the senatorial race last year had some- thing to do with their falling with- ’‘out the breastworks,that The Land- mark was about to ask if it was a rule that only Simmons supporiers need apply for office.The question is not asked,however,for Congressman Stedman has acquitted himself of any suspicion the Tribune’s remark might arouse,by recommending Editor.Oli- ver for postmaster at Reidsville.Who a Democrat may have supported for a nomination in a Democratic primary should have no bearing on his qual- ifications for preferment;and while it unquestionably figures in many in- stances,it is mighty small business to make it a test and helps neither the public service nor the party.Recent- ly a Washington correspondent of one of the daily papers made this mark: “On State offices the two Senators from North Carolina will confer to- gether and endeavor to decide on some one who is satisfactory to both In regard to postmasters they will permit members of the House to name the occupants,provided the nominee has not been unfriendly to them.” The Landmark prefers to believe that this misrepresents the Senators If it is correct it means that mer bers of Congress to recommend their districts re- would not be permitted for postmasters in anybody who had failed SENATORS TALKTO PESIDENT. Simmons and Overman Confer With the Presidcnt—Say “[hey Are Pleased With His Attitude.About Appointmenis—They Will Recom- mend.Watts For Collector at the Proper Time. Washington Dispatch,14th,to Greens- boro News. Senators Simmons and Overman today talked with President Wilson relative to the President’s attitude towards accepting the two ‘Senators’ recommendations for Federal appoint- ments in North Carolina.Both Sena- ‘tors Simmons and Overman,after leaving the White House,said their conference was entirely satisfactory and most pleasant.Senator Simmons was asked if he discussed the appoint- ment of Col.A.D,Watts as collec- tor for the western district of North Carolina,and he said that Watts’ap- pointment was discussed in a general way.No indorsements of the Iredell man were filed with the President to- day,however.Senator Simmons was asked about the rumor in North Carolina that Mr. Watts would be given the United States marshalship for western North Carolina and that W.C.Dowd,of Charlotte,would be appointed collec- tor,a8 a matter of compromise. “]have never heard of the story be- fore,”said Senator Simmons.“BothSenatorOvermanandmyselfwillrec- ommend Mr.Watts for collector ofwesternNorthCarolinaattheproper time.”After Senators Simmons and Over- man returned from the White House the following statement was author- ized:“Senators Overman and Simmons had a conference with the President this morning concerning his policy with respect to recommendations by Senators for suppointments to local positions in their State.Both Sena- tors,after leaving the President,re- fused to quote him,but from what they did say it is inferred that it will be the desire of the President to fol- low as far as he can the recommenda- tion of Senators and Reptesentatives with respect to positions in their States,and if for any reason he finds the person recommended unsatisfac- tory he will,before action,confer with them,and if,as a result of this conference,his objections are not re- moved,he will ask them to make an- to support Senators Simmons and Overman in party contests.While it is natural for the Senators to prefer| their friends,all else being equal,||The Landmark does not believe are they so small and narrow that they would make this a test;that they would assume to take charge of all the| offices and parcel them out to their own personal‘followers for their own personal benefit.This paper has no | personal interest in the distribution of the offices; general principles;but it must he lieve that if the Senators were to adopt any such tactics the President would disregard their recommenda- tions if his attention was called to the facts and he would be fully justified in doing so.LS The operations of the States Trust Company is fresh evidence that the people enjoy being humbugged.Un- known promoters,without francial backing,go about over the State sell ing stock in a company with a high- sounding name.They select small towns-and villages as a field of opera- tions and as an inducement for the sale of the stock propose to establish a bank,thus appealing to local pride. Most of the.people who -purchased sto¢k in the trust company doubtless thought they subscribing for stock in the local bank.The scheme was a profitable one and if the game hadn’t been flushed so soon it would have made the promoters independent- ly rich in a few months.If loval citi- zens,men of character and financial integrity,had endeavored to organize a bank-in any of the small towns worked by these promoters,they would.doubtless have failed.It is the smooth stranger whose statements are accepted at par and whose prom- ises of big dividends are not investi- gated.Seeing how anxious so many people are to be humbugged the won- der is not that there are some fake games but that there are not more; as The Landmark has so often re- marked,seeing how people so often run after a fake enterprise while re- fusing to ericourage legitimate indus- try,the temptation to humbug them is very strong,as that is apparently what they want.

Some newspaper correspondents de- |clare that Mr.Wilson is going to ig- |nore the recommendations of Sena- tors and Representatives.That does {not seem.to be his attitude.The President has made tt plain that he is jnot going to appoint men to office un- |leas they are fit.Men of character, |inte grity and ability will be given office in preference to.partisans with- out the better qualifications.Poli- ticilans of the ward-heeler type need not apply if the President knows their real position back home.Woe be un- to the Senator or Representative who comes forward with a man of ques- tionable character. The President does not hesitate to appoint men who have been a little irregular in their party ties—Walter H.Page and John Skelton Williams, for example—but backward-looking men,although they have been party workers for years,/may fall under his pruning knife.Sherlock Swann wasappointedpostmasteratBaltimore over Louis M.Rawlins last week.

President Wilson has told both Sen- ators (Simmons and Overman)that he would not make any appointments in the State until he had conferred with them.That does not mean that the President will name the man back- ed by the Senators,but it indicates that the President will be fair and frank in dealing with the Senators. “My relations with the President are of the friendliest sort,”said Sen- ator Simmons.“We are on good terms.He has not shown any dis-position to be anything but fair.” Young Woman Attacked on Streets of Greensboro.

Soon after the two entered Mrs.Lo- max’s room the young lady was re- quested by Prince to step into the hall a moment,that he wanted to have awordprivatewithMrs.Lomax,and|hardly had she complied with the re- quest when two pistol shots rang out. When the startled floor nurse and oth- ers hurried to the room they found Mrs.Lomax dead with a pistol shot through the head and Prince writhing in agony from a like shot,self-infliet- ed immediately after shooting Mrs. Lomax.Her death was instant. There was a noticeable intimacy be- tween Prince and Mrs.Lomax and matty of the more observant suspected that an infatuation existed mutually between them;but few,if any,gave it a serious turn in their minds.Ru- mors,however,began to go the rounds and Prince,about four months or 80 ago,went West for his health and people forgot it.He returned two weeks ago,and Thursday night he and Mrs.Lomax,in the latter's auto- mobile,left the city together after midnight on a “joy ride.”Friday morning the wrecked automobile wasfoundontheroadnearthepark.Yes- terday Mrs.Lomax was entered ai'apatient-in the hospital.

Passenger agents representing sev- eral Western railroads have been in Asheville and the western part of the State for the past month trying to induce people from that section to go to the Western States on a visit or to live.There were 15 of these agents and after a month’s work they succeeded in selling only 200 tickets. Heretofore they have secured from 300 to 500 tickets from the same sec- tion,which includes all the territory west of Salisbury.This is indeed grat- ifying and shows that our people are Satisfied with their condition.-The section in which they live is the best to be found anywhere,and the oppor- tunities here are equal to those to be found in any country on the globe.

Greensboro Record. The field is always open for swind-lers.Laws are passed that seem able to prevent it,yet the ingenuity,not to say rascality,of some men is past‘computing,fTheStatesTrustCompany,with headquarters in Wilmington,aboutwhichthepublichasbeenreadingforthepastweek,was cleverly organizedandletaloneforafewmonthswouldhavemadeamillion.A brief historyjoftheconcernandhowitworkedis interesting.About four months agotherecameintotheStatethreemen who had had experience in premorngquestionableenterprises.Their plans were shrewdly made and took into account a full knowledge of condi-tions and ambitions of the rural com- munities and small towns,as well as some knowledge of the ways of highfinance.! They invested $30 in a charter,put in a supply of iithographed stationeryandtypewriters,rented obscure quar- ters on the third floor of a building in Wilmington,where they:put out not so much as a name plate on the door, and they were ready to inauguratetheircampaign.Without further rec- ommendations or guarantee than this, their special agents were sent out, asking that the people turn over theirsurplusfundstotheStatesTrustCompanytohandleandinvestfor them.And they were succeeding ataratethatwouldeasilyhavepiledup for them a half million dollars if theyhadbeenpermittedtooperatetillNo- vember 1. The States Trust Company was not in any way engaged in the banking business.It did not ask for deposits.Deposits could be drawn out and in- stitutions receiving deposits are sub- jected to examination and supervision. They were to sell to the people sharesofstockintheStatesTrustCompany —a company whose name carried visions of a brownstone front onFrontandMarket,whose stationery proclaimed it had $200,000 capital, and whose agents guaranteed 8 per cent and then some. But if no more than this had been offered the stock would not have sold. If they had been as conservative as this,prospective purchasers would have investigated their character and standing before investing.“Make it so strong that the people will jump at it without investigation.That's the game.”And they did.And besides,if there was nothing to it but to cash in the money as fast as their agents sold the stock,business might be too dull.Make it pull double. They selected with care localities which were beginning to have their first visions of a local bank,but needed about five years’growth before ip.Gold Filled.SterlingandSolid Gold.Wa are Ms. they would be able to support one. |They proposed to the best people in |these communities that if they would \subseribe for $2,500 of stock in the|States Trust Company that that com |pany would itself establish in 60 dayslalocalbankwith$5,000 capital stock. |Better yet,the subscribers to this jetck need only pay 25 per cent in leash and notes for the balance.Bearjinmindthatthesepeoplewerenot jsubscribing for stock in the local|bank,but for stock in the States Trust |Company.So that in order to get a jbank established in their community, ithey only had to pay out $625 in ready j}money.The States Trust Company }was to farnish the money for the en- |tire capital stock of the bank.Who |would be so ungenerous,so lacking in jlocal pride,as to investigate either |the financial or moral standing of a }stranger concern that gave out banks jand guaranteed dividends with such |lavish hand?The resistible and the jirresistible forees-met and proceeded ;to do business—which they did |For Which Let Us All Give Thanks, |Lumberton Robesonian, Praise be,there is a nran in the ex- ecutive office in Washington who re- alizes that the people did not elevate the honors on state occasions,but to work and look out for the interests of all the people.And this President Wilson-seems determined to do.

Si THE COWAN CASE,REDIVIVUS. Luther Feimster Called Away,Os- tensibly to See a sick Uncle,and Suspicion and Rumor Take a Fresh Start-—-Deputy Ward Did Some Dig- ging Without Results. Interest in the case of Stella Cowan, the colored girl who mysteriously dis- appeared about two months ago,has been revived.Luther’Feimster,col- ored,an associate of the girl,was sus~ pected of being responsible for her disappearance.Nearly a month agoLutherwasarrestedbuttherewasno evidence to connect him with the case and he was discharged.Most of the colored population,however,and some of the whites,still held Luther under suspicion and their ‘suspicion “took fresh hold Friday when Luther left town. Friday morning Luther sent word to his employer,Dr.H.F.Long,that he had received a message from hisuncle,who lived in the neighborhood of Coleemee,asking that he come to see him.His uncle,Luther ‘said,was in bad health and was the owner of a piece of land which he would give to his nephew if the latter would look after him.This interested Luther and he hastened away to his relative. While his story may be entirely cor- rect arid he may be back at any time, Luther’s going at once confirmed thesuspicioninthemindsofthecolored population that he had “made way” with Stella Cowan.So much interest did the report of Luther’s departure arouse that a re- port soon gained currency that fresh clay had been discovered in the rear of Dr.Long’s barn.That settled it.Luther had buried/his victim behind the barn.Deputy Sheriff Ward,hear- ing the fresh clay story,went to the premises to investigate and asked Dr. Long about the clay.The doctor knew nothing.Mr.Ward investigated and decided the circumstances justified some digging,whereupon he fell to .|with implements,but after removing considerable earth,which cost him considerable expenditure of strength and perspiration,nothing was found and the hole opened in the earth had to be refilled.There is a suspicion that Dr.Longknewthatclayhadbeenhauledin¢Jot some time ago to level the,which fact he neglected to men- tion to Mr.Ward,but of course thisissuspectedbecausethe-doctor issomethingofajokeronoccasion.

Simonton worked with one of the street forces up to quitting time Sat- urday afternoon and seemed in his wondl healea:He was subject to suddenattacksofillnesswhichoften’result- ed in his remaining in a stupor forseveralhours. @ oe * “Aunt”Phylis Dalton,an aged col- ‘ored woman of the Houstorvithe eom- munity,said to be 93 years old,died very suddenly Sunday afternoon whileWidings*=2 Soc.Meteo ‘lhad been in Statesville on a visit to her son,Will Dalton,and Sunday afternoon she and her son started for her home in a buggy.As they were driving along the Turnersburg road. in the vicinity of the Five-mile branch, the old woman suddenly expired be- fore her son réalized that anything was wrong.She is said to have been subject to heart trouble.A coffin was secured and the body was prepared for burial before being taken on to the home of the deceased.

Yes,it is settled that the Presi- dent will be guided by the recommen- dations of the Senators and members of Congress provided they recommend such men as he is willing to appoint; not otherwise.This does not mean that the President will turn down all those who opposed his nomination; he is too big a man for that,as he has shown by appointing a number of men to office who opposed him in the pre-convention contest.Neither does it mean that recommendations of members of Congress who are consid- ered “reactionaries”will not be con- sidered,or that persons considered “reactionaries”will not be appointed ee to office.But it does mean that the fe President will use his judgment,de- Spite any and all recommendations or conditions,and that if an applicant does not meet his approval the name of the applicant is “mud,”no matter how strong his endorsements nor what backing he has;and in making up his mind the President will hear rs statements from private individuals e as well as from public officials.That a the President is anxious to appoint )only desirable citizens to office is >shown by his custom of consulting Republican Senators about men rec- ommended for office in their States. That is the situation as The Land- mark sees it.

That is certainly worth consider- ing.If the periods of depression come under a high tariff it certainly means that the tariff is not the sole dependence for successful cotton man- ufacture. Selecting saloonkeepers by popu- lar vote is certainly something new. Latterly the custom has been to put them out of business by popular vote.

TUESDAY,----‘April 22,1913. Speaker Clark and Col.Bryan have agréed to an armistice for the pro- mation of the cause,which is to their credit,but it is evident that their rela- tions will not be intimately cordial. If the railroad people are wise they will get down to business and submit a proposition that will remove the freight rate discrimination against North Carolina.There has been no disposition to ask for an unreasonable concession but the people are in no mood for trifling .The discrimina- tion in freight rates against this State is so glaring and unreasonable that it cannot be defended and if a veal and substantial reduction is not given the railroads may rest assured that a worse thing will come upon them,It is hard to understand why railroad companies will treat real grievances with indifference until the temper of the people is aroused to _visit punishment upon them.NLD The usual efforts to defeat tariff Yévision are now being put on to alarm the public.A woolen mill at Providence,R.I,announces that it will have to go cut of business and it is reported that employes are already being discharged preparatory to clos- ing down.Other reports of similar character will follow and there may be some actual shut downs to carry out the programme of bluff.The beneficiaries of a protective tariff will always contend that the country will be ruined if their special privileges are taken away from them.The ac- tual “ruin”may be smaller profits in some cases and may be not even that;but men whose business has been helped by law all these years are not to be expected to surrender the advantage without a desperate strug- gle. The whole truth of the matter is that the cotton mill men who arethreateningtheDemocraticpartyif it revises the tariff downward in theinterestofthepeople,are not Dem- ocrats to hurt.They usually vote the Republican national ticket ,and then turn Democratic just after the election.—Fayetteville Index. Many of the cotton mill men ir the State—by no means all of thein but some who are now loudest in their demands on the party—have been voting the’Republican national ticket because they are protectionists.The threat of these to leave the party 1s not alarming.Moreover,if the par- ty must abandon the principles for which it has always stood,the prin- ciples by which it has won all the victories it has ever won,at the dic tation of a few men who are self-in- terested,then it should go out of business. Copying what The Landmark had to say about its suggestion that Messrs. »Misenheimer “and Crowson failed to land as postmasters in the fifth dis- trict because’they were not support- ers of Senator Simmons,the Concord Tribune adds the following: The Tribune simply called atten- tion to the fact,without making anycomment..We had no.authority topeeitule4roe“tO Tattmate that such was the policy to be adopt- ed by Senator Simmons.The Sena- tor,however,is human,and it is not to be expected of him that he would be very enthusiastically in favor of the appointment to office of men who bitterly fought him in his recent campaign for re-election. While The Landmark has never been a supporter of Senator Simmons it has never accused him of being as small a man as some of his ardent supporters seem to thirik he is.It is announced that Mr.Simmons has served notice that he will oppose the appointment of Editor Oliver,rec- ommended by Congressman Stedman for postmaster at Reidsville.While Mr.Oliver strenuously opposed Sen- ator Simmons in the primary,The Landmark is not disposed to believe that the Senator’s opposition to the Reidsville editor is based on that alone.We shall believe that he has some other and stronger reason until the contrary is shown. LERNER _The Greensboro News says a col-lision Sunday afternoon,near.Guil-ford College station,between an au-tomobilé and a mule,resulted in pain- ful injuries to Ervin Walker,theyoungmanwhowasridingthemule,while the mule was so badly hurt that it was necessary to kill it.The#machine was driven by C.J.Tinsley,@ traveling salesman of Greensboro, who was slichtly injured.

Mayor Craig and the old board of aldermen at Gastonia offered them- selves for renomination.An opposi- tion.campaign was started and was so overwhelming that Mayor Craig and his board of aldermen got out of the way—withdrew to escape defeat.

Knows How to Keep His Mouth Shut. Baltimore Sun. Hon.David F.Houston,‘Secretary of Agriculture,they say,is a man who can keep a_secret even when there is no special reason for doing it.As an example:Two days be- fore the inauguration of President Wilson a party of distinguished Mis- sourians left St.Louis on the way to Washington.The party included for- mer Secretary of the Interior David R.Francis,former Governor Dock- ery,David F.Houston and others. During the day and night on the train the Missourians talked of the coming Wilson adm istration,of the .parsens. nel of the new cabinet and of poli- ties generally.Every eabinet posi- tion was known to be filled but one —the Secretaryship of Agriculture. And this one place was speculated upon freely.Every possibility in the long list was talked over and the chance of every man weighed.On the morning of the second day,just a few hours out of Washington,theEasternpapersarrived.On the first page of every one of them:was the official cabinet slate and there oppo- site the title of Secretary of Agri- culture was the name of David F. Houston,fellow-traveler and fellow- townsman of the Missourians.As soon as the Westerners realized that they had harbored throughout that entire trip a cabinet officer unawares,had talked to him about the very job he was on his way to Washington to accept and had not been given the re- motest hint of the fact that he hadbeenofferedandacceptedthisport- folio,there was an indignation meet- ing.And after the indignation was spent there was a nearty round of congratulations. Never-Ending Work of Women in Farm Homes. Correspondence of The Landmark. Statesville,R-1—In reply to the Tur- nersburg correspondent,will say men on the farm don’t need to work their- selves to death.When they come from their work they find the house work all done,their meals ready and nothing to do but eat and then sit down and rest until ready to go backtowork.Woman’s work is not that way.It is just work and,work;and itisjustworkherselfnearlytodeath or let the work go undone and no wo-man wants to see her work go undone.Why is it that women on the farm have so much to do when our grand-mothers had time to card and spinandweaveallthecloththeyused,and now women haven't got time hardly to get their sewing done?

BRYAN AND CLARK COMMUNE. lic Statements—United For theSucceasoftheAdministration. Speaker Clark and Secretary Bryan met at a private luncheon in Washing- ton Friday,shook hands and issued public:statementsdeclaring they had buried the hatchet;and put the per. sonalities of the Baltimore conven-tion with the bygones.~The luncheon was arranged by Theodore A.Beli,chairman of the California delegationsupportingSpeakerClarkatBaltimore,and was given by Ira E,Ben- nett,editor of the Washington Post.Secretary Bryan issued the follow-ing statement:“My meeting with Mr,Clark hasservedtoclearupamisunderstand-ing as to my exact position towardhimattheBaltimoreconvention.|have tried to make it clear to Mr. Clark that I have always regarded and now regard him as a clean,pro gressive Democrat.If my language at Baltimore created any impressionthatIwaschargingMr.Clark withbeinginsympathywithanyofthe reactionary forces,I am glad of the opportunity to clear any such miscon- ception of my words and acts,for I did'not intend to reflect upon eitherthepersonalorpoliticalintegrityof the Speaker.It is my earnest wish that there may be cordial co-opera-tion between the State Department and the Speaker in carrying out thepolicies,of the administration.” Then Speaker Clark inade public the following: “It is beyond the power of Colonel Bryan or any one else to correct the injustice that was done to me at Bal- timore.The loss of the presidential nomination was a small thing as compared to the injury done to my reputation in the eyes of the world. But now that Colonel Bryan,in his public statement,has done what he can to remove the injurious impres sions that were created by his Balti- more speeches,I feel that we can all the better co-operate for the good of the administration.I can only re- peat what I have publicly declared, time and time again,that all persan- al or selfish considerations must give way to the duty that all Democrats owe to our party and to our country.”cane Bride Delayed the Train Forty Min- utes. Greensboro News,18th. Train No.36 pulled into the local station an hour late yesterday and the crew reported one of the most peculiar accidents in the history of this division.Near Linwood and while running at a good rate of speed, three of the rear Pullmans left therails,bumping along the ties for a distance of several hundred feet When the train stopped.the trucks were almost midway the double track, effecting a blockade of both the north and south tracks.The derailment ap- plied only to the three rear Pullmans, and after ne them the en- gineer was rea leaving,however,a blocked track. The hour’s delay at the scene of thederailmentwasattributedtoanewly- wedded pair who occupied the rear Pullman,It was said that this cou-ple occupied a drawing room and when notified that they must.trans- fer to the coaches ahead the bride asked the conductor to wait for her to dress.It took 40 minutes for her to make ready for the change.’The young woman’s embarrassment was made greater when she marched into the waiting car ahead and every pas- senger arose and gave a whooping cheer.

Senators Simniéns and Overman Ex-}pected to Unload the Watts En- dorsements on the Treasury Depart-ment.and the White House—Evi-dence That the President Favors the Progressives,:; n Dispatch,20th,to Greens-boro News. “Evidence’is accumulating that President Wilson meant exactly -what he said some time before his inaugura- tion when he told the public “only progressives need apply,”referring totheCeandtheinfluenceathisdis-posal.The “turndown”of the JohnWalterSmithfactioninfavoroftheprogressiveDemocracyofMaryland;the willing ear which he is lending to the vigorous anti-Tammany —cam-paign.in New York,which is beingcarriedrightintotheheartofTam- many power;the recognition of theradicalwingofthepartyinKentucky,as shown in the appointment of HenryClayBreckenridgeasAssistantSec- retary of War,all are significant in- dications of a definite policy on the part of the President. The appointment of H.McL.Green for postmaster of Wilmington is not considered the real test of progressivestrengthinNorthCarolina.It is true that had not President Wilson and oneofhiscabinetmemberstakenahand in the fight,Green would not havebeennamed. The real test will come,probablythisweekwhenPresidentWilsonand Secretary McAdoo will be asked by Senators Simmons.and Overman to name Colonel A.D.Watts as collec- tor for the western district of North Carolina.Colonel Watts is consid- ered by those opposing his nomination a distinct reactionary.Those who have protested against the appointment oftheIredellmanhavemadetheirfight against him upon the ground that he is not a progressive and has opposed legislation known to be favored by President,Wilson. Watts’indorsement by North Caro- lina Democrats is considered —the strongest ever brought to Washing- ton.The batch of papers which will be taken to the White House andTreasuryDefartmentcannotbecar-ried by either or both of the North Carolina Senators.It will be neces- sary to hire a cab to transport thepaperstotheexecutiveoffices.If President Wilson refuses to recognize Col.Watts,there can be no doubt as to the attitude of the administra- tion.The result is awaited with inter- est. Secretary of the Navy Daniels,as has already been stated in these dis- atches,is opposing Watts with all is might.Carey Dowd of Charlotte is favored by Mr.Daniels as the mantobeatWatts,but it is thought ifMr.Daniels defeats the Iredell man he will have to bring forward a manmorepronouncedinhisproive views than has been evidenced by the Charlotte publisher.The President desires party har- mony as much as any other Democrat, but he is not prepared to compromise the interests of that element of the party which is really heart and soul with him,as distinguished from that which is merely lukewarm and con- ventional to gain it.

Knox was pleased with the pros- pect of handling the $2,500 in gold that lay buried hard by his domicile, but he didn’t have $30 just then.However,he would receive his salary from the railroad on the 20th.As time pressed it was decided that Knox Would not wait for pay day to get the old,so he called on W.G.Kim- baoush,the village storekebper;forBemeKimbroughisabusinessman }and practical.He suggested that the |stranger recover the gold on commis- lsion=eny take $500 for his share. |But this wouldn’t do at all,the strang-jer said.The whole proposition would|be queered unless Knox put up $30 to |be burned on the altar,.so to speak.|As evidence of good faith,the strang- jer said he-would place $35 in Knox’s hands to be held by him while Knox’s money was being burned.This seem- ed safe enough and the practical Kim- |brough agreed to let Knox have the ?>rough’s buildings go and give way to modern | It is reported| ‘ } Oils misT cae|}|} ||}|}|son went to the house. $30,incidentally taking a mortgage to guard against contingencies;and at the same time cautioning Knox to be Certain that he had $35-of ‘the stranger’s cash in his hands while his jown good money wax being offered as a sacrifice.But Knox neglected Kim- warning,as .subsequenteventsshow.

It was an intense moment.The lit-tle company about the circle of thread in the .yard waited in silence—they had been cautioned not to speak.Knox, who was to be the beneficiary of the proceedings,held the half of a lead bullet in each hand,wnhich the thought- ful magician had provided as another part of the trick.Finally the practical Kimbrough,who was inside the house with part of the company,suspected, after a lapse of 20 or 25 minutes,that the expected had happened,and he went to the door and asked for theman.At first those about the circleofthreadrefusedtospeak.Kim- brough suggested the man wasn’tcomingbackandtheirvoicescametothem.

FRIDAY,April 25,1913. The Charlotte Observer contends that the trip of the American com- mission to Europe to study the Euro- pean system of land loans will be of no benefit,but that “the mem- bers,will have quite a fine outing at public expense.”The North Carolina members-of the commission pay their own expenses.We don’t know about the others.aesneteemeneeanemanneactntMr.T.D.Miller of Statesville is another cotton mill man who isn’t losing any sleep over the predictions of the destruction of the cotton mills asa result of the passage of the tar- iff bill.Mr.Miller says we have been told many times before that we couldn’t survive if certain things hap- pened,but after they happened we managed to pull through and very of- ten found we were better off than be- fore.The changes in the tariff will affect business to some extent tempo- rarily,but Mr.Miller believes that it will all work out right.Any way Mr. Miller is making no kick.He says we are going to get what we have been voting RMre ia is The House of Congress is investi- gating the assault made on Mr.Sims of Tennessee,a member of the House, by Mr.Glover,a Washington banker. Glover assaulted Sims on account of remarks made by the latter on the floor of Congress and as the constitu- tion provides that a Representative or Senator in Congress shall not be held accountable for his utterances in Congress,the case comes within the jurisdiction of Congress.One could feel more sympathy for Mr.Sims if he had shown some disposition to de- fend himself when attacked,but un- der the circumstances the Washington banker doubtless has something com- ing to him. Citizens of the municipality of China Grove have done two unusual things.First they held a mass meet- ing and nominated a preacher for mayor,Preacher-mayors are not un- known but they are not common. Some preachers would make good mayors.But the second unusual thing the China Grove mass meeting did—and it was most unusual—was to adopt a resolution of thanks to the retiring mayor and aldermen—adopt- ed unanimously at that.This is al- most an unheard of proceeding.Us- ually the outgoing mayor and alder- men are criticised,if not denounced, as they go out and more than often it is intimated that they did things that ought to put them in jail.China Grove has set a new record. Opening the debate in opposition to the tariff bill for the Republican side, Mr.Gardner of Massachusetts,while vigorously opposing the bill,paid trib- ute to the sincerity ur the Democrats. He said of the bill: “Clumsy as it is,misleading to thefarmerasitis,inconsistent and un- just as are many of its provisions, this bill nevertheless is an attempt to carry out the promises which youDemocratsmade*to the people.There lies the difficulty—your promises con- /flict.with each other...You cannot byandthesamp.tariff keen up,the.which the rarmer receives and yet reduce the price which his cus-tomer pays.-You cannot fairly:im- ‘pose free trade on the fisherman and the shoemaker and the wool grower while you force them to buy supplies protected by a duty.” Mr.Gardner at least gives the Dem- ocrats credit for trying to give the people what they voted for and what was promised.That is something worth while. Senate Will Not Grant Tariff Hear- ings—Debate in the House. By a strict vote the Senate finance committee has decided finally that no public hearings would be given upon the tariff bill when it reaches the Senate.Interested persons will be given a full opportunity to file briefs or statements with the committee, bearing on any of the tariff schedules, The decision is expected to shortenmateriallythetimethatwillbecon-sumed in getting the tariff bill before the Senate for consideration.Tariff debate opened in the House at 11o’clock Wednesday and in the hopethatgeneraldebatecanbelimitedtofivedays,Democratic Leader Under-wood will attempt to hold the Houseto12:hours of continuous work daily, Another week of consideration under the rule pees amendments will send the bill to the Senate soon afterMay5,it is believed.The tariff bill came back to theHouseTuesdayfromthewaysandmeanscommitteewithavigoroussup-porting report from the Democrats‘on the committee and an opposing re-port from the Republican members. elec iaiie adiceeeeee eel Governor Cruig has laid down a rulethatishavingthetendencytoputasalargepartofthepractice of having the State to offer rewards.This is that the Stace will issue norewardsunlessthepeopleinterest- ed in the capture,or the county offi-cials,will also offer_a reward.

RATTLESNAKE VENOM IN USE. The Experiment Now Being Made at the State Hospital in Raleigh. Raleigh Times. The Central Hospital here is for both the insane and epileptics and its population of these is 1,050.The ep- ileptics are of two colonies,each of these having a group of three brick buildings,connected by passage- ways,the group being isolated and on commanding sites.There is nowinprogressattheCentralHospital the most remarkable experiment yetmadeinNorthCarolina,this being the use of crotalin,which is the ven- om or poison of the rattlesnake,in the cure of epilepsy. This disease arises from two causes,one of these being from in- juries to the head,called the trau- matic form,and this can be relieved, if at all,only by trephining,that is, taking out a section of the skull.This kind is not treated with crotalin. Dr.Thomas J.Mays of Philadel- phia has written several articles for medica!journals,giving his expe rience regarding the treatment of ep- ilepsy with the venom of the rattle- snake,the name of that species ofserpentbeing“crotalus horridus.”It is now well known that the discovery of this remedy,if it proves to be a remedy,was due to the fact that an epileptic in Texas was bitten by a rattlesnake and the local physician who attended him noticed that more than a year afterwards he did not have a single attack and has neversificehadanyconvulsions,This phy- sicinn reperted the case:and his de- jductions from it.Dr.Mays took itup,tried.the treatment reported _o2 it and said he had made a number of cures.; Dr.Picot,the superintendent of the Central Hospital,said he would study this treatment.He quite recently se- cured enough of the crotalin to makethedesiredtestsandheisnowtreat- ing 40 men who have this disease.”It is extremely interesting to watch the giving of the treatment.The vi- rus,the poison of the ratticsnake, as prepared for hypodermic injection, is a clear fluid like water,with a slight amber tint.The patients tal.-ing the treatment all express them- selfes as feeling very much bettcr ey-er since it began.

Two of the youngest girls in the class, Elizabeth Orr,aged 10,and Edna Fox, aged 9,were found to haye made the best bread and so nearly equal that two first prizes were given.The see-ond prize was won by Rachel Reid. Hon.W.D.Turner presented these prizes and as he is an enthusiast on teaching girls domestic economy his remarks were greatly enjoyed.This cooking class has attracted much-at-tention.Mrs.Orr says she got the idea from Mrs.Hollowell,one of the workers in the women’s institutes, who urges that some woman in each school district take the,time and ef- fort to teach the girls’in the rural schools domestic economy.This Mrs. Orr has done for the Feimster school and it is hoped the idea will spread. The Feimster school has been taught by capable teachers and their work was manifest in the exercises. The recitations end songs by the boys and girls were well done and the visi- tors thoroughly enjoyed them. An Iredell Lady Killed By An Auto- mobile in Charlotte.

The committees ave to gather any and all suggestions as to changes in the constitution that come from cred- itable sources and report them to the full meeting of the commission June 4.There will then be another brief session.After this the commissioners go to their homes and the commit- tees haye conferences at their con- venience,and later the full ‘commis- sion will be in session,possibly 30 days,to thrash out the difference in important amendments,such as the financial scheme of the State as to taxes and change in judicial districts.

April 25,1913. Trying to Make It,Appear Watts Didn't Know Herbert Spencer, Washington Dispatch to Raleigh News and Observer. Yol.Walter Murphy of Salisbury and Dr.George T."Winston of Ashe- ville met at the Raleigh hotel today and talked over old times at the Uni- versity of North Carolina.They drift- ed later into a discussion of Herbert Spencer,Huxley,Darwin and other famous men >f days gone by.Dr. Winston said that he aad just begun to enjoy Spencer.He thinks that Spencer was the first man to find out what réligion is.Colonel Murphy was able to keep within hollering dis- tance of-Dr.Winston in this conver- sation on the great philosopher,but when he tried:to,tell ‘Col.A.D. Watts,a well-known Tar Heel Dem- ocrat,what Dr.Winston.said,he got in deep water. “What did this man Spencer ever do for the Democratic party that he should be rewarded with a postoffice appointment?”asked Mr,Watts as Mr.Murphy warmed up.“What office is it that.he seeks?”: “Who,Herbert Spencer?”asked Mr. Murphy,in amazement. “Yes,is he any kin to.my friend, O.W.Spencer,who runs the hotel at Salisbury?” Mr.Murphy gave up in despair, closed the conversation and departed, saying: “Herbert Spencer hunting a post- office?He’s been dead nearly a thou- sand years.Watts ought to be sent to a ‘hospital for observation.” An hour afterward,when Dr.Win- ston,Colonel Marphy,Col.Bunch Me- Bee and other North Carolinians met in the Raleigh hotel lobby,Mr.Mur- phy said: “What do you think Watts asked me when I told hin:that you and I had been discussing Herbert ,Spen- cér?” “What postoffice Spencer wanted,” answered Dr,Winston,promptly. The California Anti-Alien Legislation. Through the exchange of-tele- grams between President Wilson and Governor Johnson,the settled policy of the California administration on the question of alien land ownership as agreed upon is officially made known. Governor Johnson and his partyleadersintheSenatefavorabillex- cluding from land ownership in the State all aliens ineligible to citizen- ship under the laws ef the United States.Such a law probably will be passed,in spite of the objections from Washington. The assertion is made by the Gov- ernor that a State law of this nature| would not be in contravention of any|existing treaty.He is upheld in this} view by the majority leaders in the|Senate.Opposition to the administra-| tion programme will come from the)Democrats aided by a few Republicans | tion of any kind.The Democrats will! seek to strike out the words “ineligi-|ble to citizenship”in any bill consid-|ered and on this point the real fight on the measure will be waged. (Secretary of State Bryan has fone to California to co-operate with the Governor and members of the Legis- lature in framing anti-alien legisla- tion that will not conflict with the treaty rights of Japan.The Govern- or and the Legislature assented to the | visit,both houses of the Legislature adopting a resolution saying it would be agreeable for Mr.Bryan to make the visit for that purpose.) Daniels Said to Be Weakening in His Opposition to Watts. Washington Dispatch,23d,to Greens- boro News. It was said Yoday by a man who is| known to be in close touch with the| Wilson administration that’the only chance Col.Watts has of landing the collectorship is for Secretary of the Navy Daniels to “lay down”in his fight against the Iredell man.From the same source it was learned that W.C.Dowd,becanse af his will g-©etek od dipTO Watts,x6.«Md- ered as a likely candidate at the White House.

What the Proposition Means—OnlyMajorityofVotesCastRequired. An election to authorize the board of aldermen to levy a tax to support a public library will be held in con- nection with the municipal election next Tuesday,May,6,and @he Land- mark has been asked to explain the proposition.The advantages and the desirability of a public ltibrary—onethatwouldbekeptwellequippedand properly managed—will not be ques-tioned.While The Landmark -has never been enamored of the Carnegieproposition,it is offering no opposi- tion to the present movement,being perfectly contert for the people toestablishthelibraryiftheywantit.Here are the facts in the case as The Landmark ‘understands them,which are stated for public informa- tion:: Mr.Andrew Carnegie,as is gener-ally known,will give a certain sum to any community for the establish-ment of a free public library,provided the citizens of the community will give a site and guarantee to give year- ly for the support of the library as much as 10 per cent of the amount given by Mr.Carnegie for the build- ing..Some years ago Mr.Carnegie proposed to give Statesville $5,000 for a library building if his conditionswerecompliedwith—a free site and 10 per cent of this—-$500 a year— for support.It is now stated that the Carnegie gift may be increased to $7,000,which would mean $700 a year for support,but in any event the $5,000 proposition stands.A few years ago Mrs.S.A.Sharpe proposed to give a free site for the library, a lot corner Sha and Meeting streets,and this offer stands. The election next Tuesday,there- fore,is to authorize the board of al- dermen to levy a special tax for the support of the library,such an amount as Mr.Carnegie’s gift may require and as may be necessary in addition for the proper support and conduct of the library.The election is called under an act of the Legis- jature which requires that such an election be called whenever 25 percentofthevoterspetitionforit—which was done at the last meeting of the board.The act also provides that if a majority of the votes cast—not a majority of the registered vote—be im fayor of the proposttion the alder-men must levy a tax for its support,this tax not to exceed 10 cents on the$100 and 30 cents on the poll.On thetaxablepropertyandpollsofStates- ville,if the full amount of the tax was levied,it would raise about $3,- 200.We should say that at least half that would be needed in the beginning, even for the economical conduct of a library,and the full amount would soon be needed if the library is to be kept up-to-date and well managed. The purchase of new books and re- binding of old ones,heat,light and water and the pay of a competent librarian will amount to more than the 10 per cent required by Mr.Carne- gie.The library should be properly conducted if it is to be established; it should not only be.kept up-to-date in books but should have a librarianwhoknowsbooksandiscompetent to help those who go to the lbraryforinformationfindwhattheywant. The Charlotte library has been run- ning on $2,500 to $3,000 a year and has found that tnsufficient.A propo- sition is now pending in Charlotte to vote a tax of 2 1-2 cents on the $100 for the support of the library,which will bring sta ir--—e,it is,estimated, up to about $5,000. Statesville will not be expected to have so large nor so expensive’a library as Charlotte,but it is The Landmark’s opinion that $1,500 to $2,000 would be little enough to start on and that as the work expanded more would be needed.Nothing here- in said is intended to encourage any- body to vote against the library,but is a simple statement of facts as this paper understands and believes.The amount of tax,if all levied,will be only $1 on the thousand,which will be no great burden,but the peopleshouldknowexactlywhatthefacts are.The amount of tax levied will rest with the board of aldermen,but the amount under the present stat- ute cannot exceed 10 cents on the $100and30centsonthepoll.The Landmark has been asked to explain Mr.Carnegye’s contract and what would become of the property if the town should at any time discon- tinue support of the library.TheLandmarkhasneverseenaCarnegie contract and doesn’t know its pro-visions.It ig this paper’s opinion,however,that the contract would pro-vide that in the event the town should fall down on its contract,at any Carnegie,his heirs andThatwouldbethenatural course, Sunday Was Easter,Says Mr.Beaver. township dofficeyesterday to say that last Sun- day was Easter,and it must be admit-ted that Sunday’s weather was Eas- ter-like. celebrated Easter on the 23d of March, Easter is the first Sunday after thefirstfullmoonwhichfallsonoraf-ter the 21st of March.But Mr.Beav-er says the folks are all dead wrong;that Easter comes on the first SundayafterthefourthfullmoonofthegsThefourthfnllmoonwasonhe20thofApril,hence last Sunday, April 27,was Easter.Mr.Beaver should have spokenearlierandkeptthefolksfromgoing a an, IREDELL ATTRACTS OUTSIDERS Farmers From Other Counties BuyingFarmsinLredell—Mr:Warren Com- ing Back.“eee Iredell’s natural resources and mod-ern improvements continue to aneoutsiderstothecounty.Mr.R.V.

Effort to Secure a Freight Train Be- tween Statesville and Taylorsville. The people up the Taylorsville way are preparing to make a fight for afreighttrainbetweenStatesvilleand Taylorsville,and it is a fight in whichtheydeservetowin.It is understood that petitions «re being circulated in all the villages between Statesville and Taylorsville asking for the freight train and other pressure will be brought on the railroad authorities to this end.The traveling men in par- ticular and the traveling public in gen-eral will gladly join the Alexander people in.their fight for the freight beait,owe 0Ccause they will want to use ‘the freignt train,hot becapse they want the passenger train relievedoffreightservice.As it is the morn- ing train to Taylorsville must take the freight going that way and often there is such a long string of freight ears that the train puts in from two to three hours on the 20-mile run \from Statesville to Taylorsville.The freight coming this way is also han-dled by the morning train from Tay- lorsville and recently on account of the large amount of freight to behandledthistrainhasbeensobadlydelayedthatitfailedtomakecon- —with the trains on the mainine.The Alexander folks didn’t want the Sunday train service which was in- augurated last summer,but they do want a better freight and passenger Service through the week and should have it.

Trolley Car Motormen and Conduc- tors on Strike and Service Suspend- ed—Attempt to Import Strikebreak- ers Results in Near Riot. All the motormen and conductors employed on the Asheville street gar lines;87 in number,went on strike Saturday.at noon,after taking thecarstothebarns.The strike is the result of a demand for increased pay —from 21,to 25 cents an hour.The present rate is 18 to 21 cents.During the afternoon about half the cars were operated by office em- ployes and street workers of the com- pany,but all the cars were with- drawn about 8:30 Saturday night, this action following successful at- tempts on the part of a mob of boys and young men to cut the trolley ropes of the cars, Sunday about a scoré of strike- breakers arrived in Asheville and as soon as the news got abroad that the meh were in the Langren hotel a mob of several hundred -men and boys gathered in front of the hotel.Tur- bulent spirits led the mob to the top of the entrance steps.One policeman with sand in his craw very positively bade them stop there.Three or four other officers lined up with him and the crowd was held at bay,if it had any real intention of violence.Thissituationcontinuedforanhouror more.At 5 o’clock Mayor Rankinappearedonthehotelstepsandsaidhehadinducedthecompanytosend the strikebreakers out of town at once and he made a little address on the general subject of law observance. He was given a lively round of cheers. Soon carriages drew up and the im-ports came forth and began piling in- to them.In the general tumult therewereexpressionstotheeffectthattheyoughttobemadetowalktothe depot.One man in the last carriage was seized by a wild individual who seemed to realize that the opportunity for a riot was about to Police- men in turn seized the seizer and there was a brief violent street battle among home folks,which ended in acoupleofcitizensbeingthrownintoprison.En route to the station the visitors lived hard.Stoneg were hurl- ed at the carriages and two men hit.One was said to be seriously hurt. It is said that the strikers wereorderlyandhadnohandinthedis- turbance,but the outbreak is due togeneralsympathywiththestrikers. Tt is said the company refused to sub-mit demands of the men to arbi-tration and after the strike n the men were disposed to refuse offers ofarbitration,insisting on compliancewiththeirdemandforincreasedpay. Whooping up Collection Methods— An Old Story. State Journal. These whooping up collections that the preachers sometimes take were thought by the writer to be of very late origin,but this seems to be a mistake,for the story of an old-time Methodist who “oe to them has come up.This old brother had sat for some time and listened to the preacher call out “Who'll be the next to give?”until he had gotten tired,and he took a hand.“Look here,broth- er,”he said,-“if you will hush and sitdownI'll pay the balance myself.”Itseemsthattheold-time formula ‘was this:“How mach will you give to the Lord?”and when the answer came, the preacher would ask,“and brother, will you send it by me?”In a meet- ing,of this kind-on one occasion a well-known lawyer was present and alittlemihiscups+-~the preacher asked how much he would give to theLord,he replied promptly that he would give $25.“Will you send ijt to the Lord by me?”asked the preach- er.“Oh,no,”said the lawyer,“I'll take it myself.I'll see him first.” Thinks Watts Will Win if Overman is in Earnest.

Nothing to Carry in ‘Em. Greensboro News.What has become of the gentlemanwiththeold-time saddlebags?. e THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,---*April 29,1918. =—ss >.~That the idea of giving cooking les- sons in schools meets popular ap- ‘proval is shown by the attention the cooking class of the Feimster School in Statesville has attracted.The work of that cooking class has ad- vertised Feimster School all over the State.The Landmark hopes that when the schools open next fall some good woman in each school district in the county who has expert knowledge of the culinary art will take up the work ‘Mrs.Orr started in the Feimster school and ‘push it along.No girl's education is complete until she knows how to cook and keep house and knows how to-do these things in the best possible way.Teaching cooking in the schools is no reflection on the ymothers any more than teaching ag- riculture or any other branch of in- dustry in the schools is a reflection on the fathers.‘These lessons interest the girls and cause them to enter with enthusiasm into work in which they might otherwise take little in- terest. serra All sensible people will applaud Mr. Bryan’s action with reference to serv- ing wine at the,dinner to the ambas- sadors,without reference to the right or wrong of serving the wine.True hospitality ,requires,in entertaining guests,that one give them to eat and drink as nearly as possible what they will like best;and when it is known that the guests are accustomed to cer- tain things it is the custom to pro- vide those things.But when as a matter of principle the host excludes certain things from his table,neither hospitality nor good taste require that he violate a principle or the custom of a lifetime,to please his guests. There is some consideration due the host.One would not expect a man who as a matter of principle excludes cards and dancing from his home,for instance,to permit cards and dancing simply to please his guests;one would not expect an orthodox Hebrew to serve pork at his table simply to please Gentile gueSts.The guests have no right to demand such things and the diplomats at Mr.Bryan’s table showed their good breeding by ap- plauding their hosts when he explain- ed that he could not serve wine with- out violating his principles and the customs of a lifetime.The guest in a private home who demands that he be served as he would be served at a hotel,has small conception or the principles of good breeding.When one accepts hospitality all codes of good manners suggest that he accept what is offered cheerfully and without criticism then or there- after.If he is not pleased with his entertainment it is his privilege to stay away thereafter;but he has a poor conception of good manners who “Eats my bread and drinks my tea ‘And then goes around town and talks about me.” While The Landmark is always modest and conservative in its claims for its town and community,it has al- ways believed that the Statesville catch-phrase,“The best town in North Carolina,”was well founded.Laying aside personal feeling and natural loyalty,this paper does not believe there is another town (we're not talk- ing about cities like Charlotte,Greens- boro,etc.,although in some respects Statesville surpasses these)in the State that is the equal of Statesville in every particular,and this fact is fast impressing itself on the public. A few days ago a minister,a native of another section of the State,who formerly lived here,said there was no town in the State the equal of Statesville and that he and acother citizen who recently left here would be giad if conditions admitted of their return.That sort of talk from peo- ple who know the town and from those who know it by reputation,is com- mon and it is something of which to be proud,for it is not the spirit of boosting alone.A long list of facts could be given to show that States- Ville’s reputation is well founded,but that isn’t the purpose now.Some towns do more business and possibly in some other particulars surpass us, but altogether Statesville stands at the head of the towns in its class. Recently a former resident who has located in another town told The Landmark he was doing more busi- mess,that the town in which he now lives does much more business than Statesville,but moratly it was at a low ebb.There is a lax enforcement ef the law and the town is unclean in many ways and not near so desirable a place of residence as Statesville. These are facts of which Statesville ‘should be proud but the town should net be content to rest on its laurels’|<t We must keep everlastingly at it if The Charlotte Observer thinks the commission ‘that is going abroad to study the European system of land loans is wasting time and effort.The Observer is sure we already know how to manage this matter and we need no information that can be gained in Europe.Possibly it is correct.The Landmark is of the opinion that the commission business is very frequent- ly overdone.But in a paragraph in the same column in which it depre- cates the visit of the commission to Europe to study rural credits,the Observer reiterates its-“long time con- tention for a tariff commission.The Observer insists that the tariff should be settled by a commission,but in- asmuch as the tariff has been a sub- ject of study and discussion for gener- ations it would seem that our states- men should have enough information’ about it by this time to handle ‘it in- telligently without waiting to be in- formed by a commission,A good many of us hold the same view about the tariff commission that the Observ- er holds the rural credits commission.aeRE It has been-stated that the Demo- cratic candidate for Congress in Mas- sachusetts to succeed Senator Weeks was elected “by an overwhelming ma- jority in a strictly Republican dis- trict,”and that,consequently,the pending tariff measure has been en- dorsed.Nothing of the kind occurred. This time the Progressives put out a congressional ticket in that district and he received about 40 per centoftheanti-Democratic vote.The Democratic candidate owed his elec- tion solely to this circumstance,slid; ing in between.It was the story-ofthepresidentialelectionrepeatedon a smaller scale.—-Charlotte’Observer. In the fall election there was solid Republican opposition to the Demo- crat and he was defeated.-Notwith- standing the advent of a Democratic administration and the formulation of what the Republicans and the pro- tection Democrats call a free trade tariff bill,when the special election was held,that same Underwood “radi- cal revision tariff bill,”as the pro- tectionists call it,being an issue,the Republicans divided and the Democrat was elected:Now it would stand to reason that if such disaster threatens the country from the enactment of the Underwood bill,that the Massachu- setts Republicans would have offered solid opposition to a champion of that bill;and that some protection Demo- crats as well would have voted against the “free trader.”But with all the lights before them they did not.The champion of the Underwood bill was elected in a Republican district.The country has accepted the result as evi- dence that the voters are still asking for a revision of.the tariff,and that seems to be the correct interpreta- tion. Dumping Clause in the Tariff Bill— Beet Sugar Controlled By Sugar Trust From Report of the Tariff Debate in the House. Representative Palmer champion- ed the Underwood bill as a measure which would surely bring relief to the péople of the nation if it received the united support of the Democratic par-ty,and he predicted that it undoubted- ly would survive the opposition of the “Republican remnant and the Progres- sive embryo.”He lauded the Demo- gratic leader,Mr.Underwood,whose name the new tariff law will bear,de-claring that when the law became ef-fective he wold “take his place among the immortals of the republic.” Mr.Palmer laid emphasis upon the “dumping clause”of the bill,which is designed to assess extra dues as high as 15 per cent upon foreign goods sold in this country at a ress price than abroad .“To meet the just complaint of the Americaiy manufacturer thathecannotknowwharcompetitionhe must meet as long as the foreignercansellhissurplusproducthere.be- low his home market price,”said Mr.Palmer,“we have inserted the dump- ing clause.It will close the mouth of the American manufacturer against criticism of the law,while otherwise he would find a sympathetic audienceinapeopledetermineduponfair play.” Representative Keating,Democrat,of Colorado,who dectared he was elected upon a free sugar platform, aroused representatives from beet sugar States with the declaration that every beet sugar factory in the United.States was controlled by the American Sugar Rerining Company, either by stock or by selling agree- ment.He declared there was a sell- ing agreement by which the “trust”fixed the price to the consumer,and when challenged by Representative Kelly of Michigan,Mr.Keating de- clared he could prove it by businessconditionsandbyfactsrelatingto the beet sugar industry of his ownState.

The coroner’s inquest in the casé of Miss King,killed in Charlotte last week by an automobile driven by Lemuel Houston,was to the effect that death resulted rrom being struck by an automobile driven by Houstén, which was going at unlawful rate ofspeed.Houston waived the .prelimi- nary trial and his bond of $5,000 was continued for his trial in the Superior Court.The Rocky Mount Transcript says Mrs.Jos.Hatch of that town,suffer- ing from nervous hysteria,attempted to shoot herself,first with a pistol and then with-a shot gun.She fired one shot with the pistol and fell un- conscious,although the ball did not touch her.The shotgun was takentfromherbeforeitwasfired.Latershemadefortheriverbutwascap-tured before she could jump in Charlotte’s new water system,con- structed at a cost of $321,000,was opened last week..The water is car- ried through a 24-inch main from the Catawba river,a distanee of ten miles,and js gauged by the river supply. The pumping plant at the river has a capacity of 10,000,000 gallons daily and the water is pumped to a reser- voir which covers about 87 acres and has a capacity of 60,000,000 gallons. About twoscore of Black Mountain’s fair sex have started out to turn that village into a spotless town.At a meeting held a few days ago a civic league was organized and work will be started at once to improve the conditions around the school buildin and Southern railway depot.Severa committees,have been appointed to investigate the conditions of back- yards and the general appearance of the town.

THE LANDMA @ BR CLARK,KDITOR AND OWNER YUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. WEST BROAD STREET.RIPTION PRICE: The following comes from Washing- ton: Postoffice.patronage was taken up with Postmaster General Burleson:to- day in a letter by Representative Fields:of Kentucky,who called at- tention to the policy of allowing hold- ers of postmasterships to serve until the expiration of their commissions. He pointed out that in many instances the postmasters were appointed or re-appointed and allowed to serve sev- eral months and in some’cases for years without receiving a |¢ommis- sion.He asks a ruling that will hold that postmasters’terms expire four years from the date they entered the service,,or four years from the time their last commission expired. The very point The Landmark made some weeks ago;and the ruling should not only apply to postmasters but to all other officials whose regu- lar term is four years.

It is the same way about referring to.Senators an?Representatives in Congress a3 “Senators and Con- gressmen.”That is almost a uni ’er- Sal custom but it isn’t correct.A Sen- ator is as much a “Congressman”as a member of the House.Senators and Representatives in Coneress is the correct term but the habit of calling a member of the House Con- gressmen has grown until it is cus- tom to say Senators and Congressmen when referring to members of the two branches of Congress.

The sympathy of the newspaper fraternity and the people of the State generally is with the Raleigh News and Observer on account of the fire which practically destroyed that pa- “per’s office and equipment last week. A fire in a newspaper office is some- thing to be dreaded,for it means the loss of so many things that can’t be replaced.The News and Observer's handsome building and equipment represented the labor of years.The paper will continue and will succeed but the blow is a heavy one.There have been many offers of sympathy and aid but the best help that can be given any paper is for those who owe it to pay up and pay in advance. If the News and Observer’s readers will do that the paper will soon be on its feet.aS It is understood that the physicians who examined W.E.Breese of Bre- vard,former president of the de- funct First National Bank of Ashe- ville,have certified that his physical condition is such that he cannot stand imprisonment.Breese was indicted for wrecking the Asneville bank.Af- ter a contest in the courts lasting for years,the judgment of the lower court sentencing him to a term of im- prisonment was affirmed by the high- est court.Application was made for his pardon on the ground of his ad- vanced age and impaired physical con- dition.Physicians examined him un- der orders of the government.That they decided that he is physically un- fit to be imprisoned is probably true. Breese is an old man and his contest im the courts,with a term of impris- onment facing him,would naturally impair his physical condition.Morse was about to die in the Atlanta pris- on and the doctors sald he would die, buthe got well as soon as he was pardoned.We make no reflection on the Asheville physicians who made the Taking note of the terrible wail coming up from Louisiana on account of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill,the Charlotte Observer says: There is.no other State to which the pending tariff bill brings such certain and severe calamity as it brings to Louisiana.Nobody at Washington or elsewhere has any real idea that Louisiana sugar cane,plant- ed every year,can compete with Cu- ban sugar cane,planted about once in 15 years.Louisiana people,there- fore,are excusable for raising the loudest cries,by which their feelings may be somewhat relieved. The Landmark has no disposition to “make light”of the plight of the Louisiana folks.They are facing a condition and they no doubt honestly think they will be ruined.But even if the Louisiana sugar industry should be destroyed,which we doubt,the principle that the industries of one State or a half dozen States should be allowed,through the government, to levy a special tax on the balance of the country cannot be defended. But somehow we can but think that most of the people who claim they will be ruined by the changes in the tariff are somewhat like the opera- tors of wagon trains in the ye ancient days,who opposed the building of railroads because it would abolish their business;or the people who hon- estly thought the abolition of whiskey distilleries,especially in the interior counties,would reduce the price of corn.These changes have to be made and usually there is a way out,It hurts sometimes while the change is being made,but when the greatest good to the greatest number demands It examination;theyhavedoubtless}Te |is often the case that folks who think dered an honest opinion.But it is al-“>we i oactia they will be ruined by a change find —omy ae get “|th 1adasherelasily‘wnlit,to emselves better off when they are stand imprisonment or that he.is crazy,whichever may be suggested.

The ground for his wrath was thathissonhadbeenpunishedbyoneof the teachers and he meant to get even with the school by “doing”me.Later he sent me word to the effect that my fate was at hand and really I began to consider the matter more seriously, yet thought very little about it.A night or so after that,at my boarding house,every one advised me to get a pistol;that the fellow was known tobeadesperatecharacter;that he had laid out several big strong men before; that I would be acting cowardly nettoprepareforwarinthetimeof COLDS CAN BEECURED § ete.harm the system.Sages The ony safe,logical,sure cold breakeristheremedy,we sell so much of— Quinacetol Cold Tablets.
