COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS An Oklahoma man had hiccoughed for 12 days until finally he was given three bottles of cold beer and recov- ered at once.Moral?Blamed if we know.—Charlotte Observer.; The moral is that a lot of folks,in- cluding some editors’of newspapers, would be seized with spells of hic- coughing about once a day if they thought they could get that same rem- edy.a The fact that Senator Overman says that he is now too busy to be thinking of the next campaign does not mean that he will not’have his political fences hog high,and bull strong when the time comes.—Dur- ham Herald.: What the Herald is trying to say is “staked and ridered,hog tight and bull strong.”Usually the moment a politician gets in office he begins to work on his fences and many of them put in most of their time at that. Sometimes they think the fences are strong when they’re not.Senator Overman is of course strengthening his against the day of trouble;but we will know better about this time next year how strong they are. **&’ Secretary McAdoo charges that the decline in the price of the govern- ment 2 per cent bonds is the result of a campaign by certain New York banks for the purpose of defeating the currency bill.That is a way New York banks and other interests have of dictating government policies. They start something to defeat meas- ures or to secure the enactment of measures,as their mterest may dic- tate.In this day of publicity,how- ever,such means are far less effec- tive than formerly.Some of the mem- bers of Congress who oppose the cur- rency bill are demanding that Secre- tary McAdoo make public the evi- dence on which his charges are based. When President Wilson charged that an insidious lobby was at work to defeat tariff legislation,the same demand was made.The lobby inves- tigation,which has uncovered the workings of the invisible government at Washington,is the answer;and that lobby investigation has made plain sailing for the tariff bill by frightening the lobbyists who would otherwise have been plying their ne-farious practices.r.McAdoo is doubtless prepared to show up the campaign against the currency‘bill and some of those who are calling on him for proof of hi»statements may get what they don’t want. +m we It is said that the tombstone erect- ed at the graves of Floya and Claude Allen,in Carroll county,Va.,bearsthisinscription:“Sacred to the memory of ClaudeS.Allen and his father,who were ju- dicially murdered by order of the Gov- ernor of Virginia over the protest of one hundred thousand citizens of theState.”Of course the statement isn’t true. The Allens,convicted of the murder of the judge,prosecuting attorney and jurors in open court at Hillsville, Va.,were tried,sentenced and exe- cuted under the order of the court. The Governor of Virginia simply re- fused to interfere with the just sen- tence imposed on two desperadoes who defied the law and killed the rep- resentatives of the law rather than submit to the judgment of the court. The only lapse in the whole transac- tion with the Allens ts that merciful juries allowed some of them to escape with penitentiary sentences who should have met the fate of Claude and Floyd.Of course many hysteri- ca)and sentimental people signed”pe- titions and made appeals to the Gov- ernor to save Claude and Floyd,but it is to the everlasting credit of Gov.Mann that he refused.No provision is made for censoring tnscriptions on tombstenes but it is a pity there is not.A statement like that on the tomb.of the Allens should no’be al-lowed as,a permanent record.. >oa ?; Mr.Mulhall,the star witness be- “fore the lobby investigating commit- tee,has used the names of many pub- lic men with whom ne had no ac- quaintance or conversation,This is evident.Some of the members of the Congress who have denied know- ing Mulhall have made a qualified de- nial.They did not remember him, they said,but admitted that they might have talked with him.Others entered positive and unqualified de- nials and we have no doubt they were telling the truth.It ts not denied that Mulhall was employed as a lob-byist by the National Association ofManufacturers;and it is very evident that in his desire to make a good im-pression on his employers he profess-ed to be doing great things.To hearhimtellit,he was on the best oftermswithclltheleadersinCongressandwaspowerfulenoughtodictatetheappointmentofcommitteesandthedefeatoflegislation.In factMulhallclaimedtobealmostrunningthegovernment.Because he is aliartothisextent,there be those whowoulddiscreditallhesays.But un-fortunately for these people,the evi-dence shows that Mulhall was ontermswithsomemembersofCon-gress;that his employers used him incampaignsagainstcandidatestheywanteddefeatedandinotherwayswouldhavehadhimdothethingshewasconstantlyassuringthemhecouldorwoulddo.It is therefore no credittotheNationz!Association of Man-ufacturers if Mulhall did not do whatheprofessedtobedoing.They hadhimemployedfortnatpurposeandtheycan’t 3 innocence if he liedtothem. temmai rVeQ for many years. wo t is gratifying to know that Mulhall could not approach manymembersofCongress.But that amanofhistypewasabletoget-ahearingatcll,and that he was em-ployed by a large and influenticl or- ganization for purposes of corrup-tion,are things net pleasant to con-late,albcit they are but confir-m of what many people have thenews.$2forthres ORIGIN OF CHINESE TROUBLE. Dr.Sun Yat Sen Denounces YuanShiKaiandAppealsintheNameofHumanityandJustice, Dr.Sun Yat Sen,first provisional ed the revolution against Manchur-ian rule,has made pypblic the follow-ing statement explanatory of the pres-ent trouble in China:“When three months ago Yuan Shi Kai unconstitutionally concluded theloanwiththebankersrepresenting the five powers,almost immediately after the discovery of documents im-plicating the Chinese government intheassassinationofthe_nationalist leader,General Sung Chiao Jen,IappealedtothegovernmentsandpeopleofEuropetowithholdpay- ment of the loan temporarily,know- ing that the Chinese ple would denounce Yuan Shi Kai for the loan Shi Kai would suppress their protest by force of arms.“My appeal fell on deaf ears and Yuan Shi Kai,supplied with fundsby.the loan,poured troops into thesouthernprovincestodismisstheGovernorsandsubjugatetheares because they did not approve of his high-handed actions and insisted on a thorough investifation:of the mur- der of Gen.Sung Chiao Jen.“The province’of Kiang Si resistedtheinvasionofthenorthern-troopssentbyYuanShiKaiandsixoth-er provinces rose and joined with Kiang Si to drive him away from of- fice.The present war would termi- nate as soon as Yuan Shi Kai retired from the presidency,which he has disgraced. “I cannot bear to see my life work destroyed and the @espotism of theManchusreplacedbythatofYuan Shi Kai.I will fight for the people’s righteous cause,which,notwithstand- ing great odds,must ultimately tri- umph.; “The powers,misinformed of the situation in China,have assisted Yuan Shi Kai with funds,which has caused the present war. “I earnestly appeal to all desiring peace and an early cessation of a long and sanguinary conflict entail- ing much misery,to cease giving fur- ther financial assistance to Yuan Shi Kai.I make this appeal in the name of humanity and justice.” Hostilities continue in China and there is no immediate prospect of ces- sation.Both sides are active. New York Banks Trying to Defeat the Currency Bill. Secretary McAdoo has issued a statement flatly charging that the de- cline of government 2 per cent bonds to 95 and a half—a new low record —is due “almost wholly to what ap- pears to be a campaign waged with every indication of concerted action on the part of a number of influen- tial New York city banks to cause apprehension and uneasiness about these bonds in order to help them in their efforts to defeat the currency bill.” Banks throughout the country own almost entirely $730,882,130 of the 2percents,Their market value is ap- proximately $30,000,000 less than when the banks bought them.Al- most all the entire issue is used as se- curity for national bank notes. At the present price,however,the discrepancy between the market value and the issues of notes against the bonds is covered by what is known as the five per cent redemption fund de- posited by the banks with the Treas- ury to care for retirements of na- tional bank notes. Secretary McAdoo announced it was not his intention to require the banks to charge off the present depreciation below par,but that the banks might continue to put in the bonds at par in their statements to the comptrofler of the currency,at least “until some material change in conditions should compel the adoption of another course.”In his statement Secretary McAdoo declared two per cents were worth par—notwithstanding their de- cline in the New York market. Chairman Hearty sf os com .|mittee of the House of Congress has demanded an investigation of Secre-tary MtAdoo’s charges.Chairman Glass of the House banking commit- tee Says the commrttee is occupied considering a currency bill and will not be diverted.Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,member of the Senate committee on banking and currency, also demands that Secretary McAdoo make public the evidence on which he bases his charge.° Wood Pulp and Paper Not Duty Free From Russia. Secretary McAdoo has announced that wood pulp and paper would not be admitted free of duty from Russia under “most favored nation”treat- ment,the treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Russia having been abrogated De- cember 31 last.The Customs Court recently decided that European coun- tries with the favored nation treaties with the United States were entitled to free wood pulp and paper because that provision was granted to Canada. The Treasury Department has ac- cepted that principle,but for the time being will apply it only to Norway, Austria Hungary and Germany which,aside from Russia,were the only countries directly involved in the de-cision.Secretary McAdoo has askedSecretaryBryantoascertainwhetherSweden,Belgium,Finland,NewFoundland,England and Denmark areentitledtofreeentrybyvirtueoftheirtreatyrights.Wood pulp andpapercomefromallthesecountries,but as they were not specifically men-tioned by the court the State Depart-ment is asked to decide whether theycome,within the purview of the deci-sion.Acceptance of the CustomsCourt’s decision ultimately will resultintheUnitedStatessurrendering$3,-000,000 in duty already collected.‘S=neeeeeesneinetennnanennneensiemenmnnREMARKABLECUREOFDYSENTERY.“I was attacked with dysentery about J15¢b,and used the doctor’s medicine aedotherremedieswithnorelief,only gettingworseallthetime.»I waa unable to do any-thing and my weight dropped from 1456 to125pounds,I suffered for about two monthswhenIwasadvisedtouseChamberlain'sColic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.1 usedi‘bottles of it and it.gave mepermarent Cc.”writesB.W.Hill of"for Sale’by a Snow Hill,N. peer poet of the Chinese republic,who}; and for the murder and that Yuan} a anAccidents,Crimes ized at Mocksville, bonds, colored.Boyette vanished, A teamster was drivinmulesalongaroadin driver and wagon were not injured. fire originated in the hotel. died Monday.cause assigned. dents of St.vicinity,have land near Hillgirt,Henderson coun- Petersburg, mer homes. report seeing a large meteor fall Monday night.They say it attract- ed much attention and the fall wasaccompaniedbyaloudnoiseanda distinct earth shock.

Mulhall’s correspondence brought him into the year 1911,when the House became Democratic.In many of his letters that year he spoke of| interviews with Majority Leader Un-derwood,William B.Wilson,now Sec-| retary of Labor in President Wilson's cabinet,the chairman of the House la-| bor committee;James T.Lloyd,of the first Missouri district,chairman of the Democratic congressional com-| mittee,and other prominent men.He| wrote in the optimistic strain he used| all through his letters to J.P.Bird,| the general mansger of the associa-| tion,and other officials,of having|men appointed to committees,of pre-| venting legislation and of generally| having much to do with the opera-| tions of government in Washington.| He mentioned in several letters with| assurance that he expected to have even greater success with the Demo-| cratic House than he had boasted he | had in the days of Republican rule,| but questioned by the committee,saidhehadbeentoooptimisticinhis-prophecy.|All through the letters Mulhall ap-| peared in opposition to legislation fa- voring labor.He swore that there was a labor lobby in Washington then|in which Samuel Gompers,Frank| Morison and other officials of the American Federation of Labor were| conspicuous figures.

The meeting of the North Carolina Press Association at Asheville last week was the largest attended and altogether one of thc most pleasant meetings of the association in many|4 years.At the meeting papers were read on various topics of interest tonewspaper-makers ana there were ad--|dresses by Mr.W.E.Gonzales,edi-tor of the Columbia (S.€.)State,re-.{cently appointed minister to Cuba;and Mr.W.W.Finley,president oftheSouthernrailway.Mr.Gonzales’address was:an appeal for a better observanee of the ethics of journal-ism,for higher respect for the callingandgreaterdignityintheprofession. He is not an orator but he is a strongmen—calm,logical and dignified.Mr.Finley spoke on “The Relation ‘of thePressandtheRailroadsandtheValueofTheirCo-operation in Com-munity Development.”He made agoodtalkandonethat.pleased thenewspapermen. The editors,many of them accom- panied by wives and daughters,werequarteredattheLangren.This isoneofAsheville’s newcst hotels and it is in all respects can excellent one. The hotel people gave the newspaper:folks the best of attention and the stay at the Langren was most pleas-ant.A feature of the hotel is a roof garden,.a delightful place to spend an evening.A “Dutch luncheon and concert on the roof garden”was ar- ranged for the entcrtainment of thepresspartyWednesdayevening,but a shower of rain,which came on af- ter all the arrangements had beenmade,made it necessary to give the entertainment in doors. Asheville trolley lines cover a largeterritoryandatrolleyrideoverthe city and suburbs,in special cars furnished by the courtesy of the street car company,made a pleasant outing and gave opportunity to see Asheville. A theater party was another pleas- ant feature,and the climax was a dinner on Thursday evening at Grove Park Inn,given complimentary to the association.This hotel,which was opened a few weeks ago,is one of the sights of Asheville.It has been mentioned in The Landmark but more can be said about it.It was built by Mr.E.W. Grove and was designed by his son-in- law,Mr.Seeley,a former newspaper man.It is said thére is not another building like it in the world,and there probably is not.It is 396 feet long by 80 feet wide,has 156 rooms and cost about $750,000.It is locat- en on Sunset mountain,quite a dis- tance from the center of Asheville, Lut not far from the end of a.car line.Large’double-decker motor busses,holding 39 people each,con- vey guests to the hotel.The hotel is built of stone quarried from the mountains nearby and laid in cement. The outer walls are rough boulders, rugged,undressed,just as they were taken from their mountain beds. Some of them have on them the moss with which they were covered as they lay on the mountain side;and the rough stones jut out all along the walls and look as if a small earth- quake would jostle them out of place. But they are laid in cement and will be there for ages.The floors are of cement with a border of silver-gray tile.There is*no wood in the structure save the doors and coor frames,win-| VISITORS AT DIAMOND HILL: ‘Social Life i >Statesville’s EasternSuburb—A Church Needed. |Correspondence of The Landmark.

FRIDAY,August 1,1913, IN RE MR.HOLTON. It was recently stated that Mr.Hol- ton would be continued as district at- torney until he had concluded the cases’against Carter,we Asheville bank man;‘whereupon The Landmark observed that if Holton was as long in concluding the cave against Carter as he was in finishing the Breese case,he would be in office 15 or 20 years.This moved the Durahm Her- ald to remark: It is true that the Asheville bank case was a long drawn out affair,but this was due to our system of legal procedure rather than to any hesi- tancy on the part of District Attor- ney Holton.Mr.Holton may be fired out by the Democrats without reason, yet we should not mind giving him what is justly coming to him. And so is The Landmark giving him what is justly coming to him.Mr. Holton proceeded in the Breese case without hesitancy,so far as we know, but the record shows that it is the fault of the district attorney’s office that the first conviction of Breese didn’t stick.Breese was indicted in 1897,shortly after Holton was ap- pointed district attorney.The Court of Appeals,rendering an opinion in a case against Breese early mm 1906, shows that by agreement entered into between the district attorney's office and counsel for Breese,the latter was given the privilege to take advantage of all technical objections.“However unwise it may have been on the part of the prosecution to consent to such an order,”says the court in the opin- jon,it goes on to say that the pros- ecution having consented the defend- ant must be granted a new trial.The tenor of the opinion shows that but for this agreement a new trial would not have been granted on the objec- tions offered. The Landmark printed this opinion and comments thereon in its issue of| February 13,1906.It charged then/ that the failure and delay in the Breese cases was duc to negligence or mismanagement in the district at- torney’s office;and the charge in the face of the evidence,was not denied by Mr.Holton or any of his friends. So much for Mr.Holton’s manage- ment of the Breese cases.A number of newspapers who did know what they were talking about have slopped over his work in these cases, when the facts show that the cases could have been concluded several years earlier,if the opinion of the Court of Appecis is to be relied on. The Landmark will say for Mr.Hol- ton that he is an industrious prosecut- ing officer and a very capable one. But he is neither a great lawyer nor a big man.He has no further just claim on the district attorney's of- fice,and the talk about the Demo- crats firing him out “without reason” is talk without reason. not Davidson county has long had the reputation of being a very corrupt ‘county.The report has been common “for years that a large per cent of the citizenship,including many well-to-do, sold their votes at every election if they could find buyers;and*it has bien a inatter of common rer aca -the jury box as well as the ballot box, ‘was corrupted Davidson..The report seems to be verified by what took place in Davidson Superior Court this week.When.a defendant was arraigned in a homicide case counsel for the prosecution moved that jur- ors be summoned from another coun- ty—a recent act of the Legislature permitting this—and in support of the motion read affidavits from prominent citizens stating that 25 to 30 per cent of the citizens whose names are in the jury box could be bought and sold at elections.Counsel for the de- fence did not resist the motion and it was granted.But isnt that an awful arraignment of the citizenship of a county7 in Some of the editors who couldn’t arrange for transportation to the Asheville meeting,or lacked the wherewith to meet the hotel tariff,are now trying to jeer those of us who went by saying we have the burden of writing an account of the trip. Writing an account of that Asheville trip is a pleasure,not a burden;and no one has to write about it who doesn’t feel moved to say something. The jeers of the stay-at-homes is the out-cropping of envy and jealousy be- cause they didn’t get to sit down at that Grove Park Inn dinner. ileeaiataaeiaeieeiaieniaiiemmmenemniinniniiniesae People along the line of the State Central Highway have a suit for men- tal anguish against Gov.Craig.He was expected to accompany the party but he changed his mind if he had any intention of coming.His failure to.come was a great dsappointment to many people. Three»Persons ‘Killed in CollapsedBuilding—Many Persons InjuredandManyNarrowExscapes—MuchPropertyDamage,‘.A eyclone of wind,rain and hail swept Washington Wednesday.Three persons were killed,many injured and the property loss is estimated atmanythousands.The wind wrecked a_three-storybrickoffice.building occupied by theB.:S.Saul Company,real estate deal-ers,and 15 ‘persons were carried down in the crash.W.E.Hilton,vice presi- dent of the real estate company, Thomas B.Fealey,65 years old,a clerk,and an unidentified man who entered the building to try to rescue those caught in the wreck,were takenfromtheruinsdead.Half a dozenweretakentohospitaysseriouslyin-jured and half.a dozen men were treated for slight injuries.jt The neatly kept lawns of the WhiteHouseweredevastated.Three huge elm trees,uprooted by the wind,were thrown bodily across the lawn anduptotheveryportico.of the build-ing,blocking the drives.President Wilson was seated in the Executive offices when the wind crashed through several windows in the White Houseproper.Secretary Tumulty hurried the President and Representative Korbley of Indiana,with whom hewasconferring,to a sheltered inter- ior room.The capitol,set high above the city, caught the brunt of the wind,rain, hail and lightning.The Senate wasinsessionwhenthehailsweptdown a deafening roar beating on the glass roof of the chamber.The tumult made further business impossible and hurrying to the Vice President’s desk, Senator Kern megaphoned with his hands,a motion to recess.The mo- tion was put and although the Sen- ators could hear nothing,the Senate quit work for 15 minutes,in confus- ion. When the storm broke,35 painters were at work on the dome of the capitol,swarming over the curving surface or swinging high on shaking scaffolding.William Reece,the fore- man,hurried to the dome and got most of his men to shelter inside the big inverted bowl.But Jim Boyle, John Ford,Noble Bailey and Bruce Jones were too late.Bailey and Jones succeeded in scaling the dome in the wind and rain and gained a sheltered ledge where they weathered the storm after trying in vain to get inside. Boyle and Ford were caught on a swinging scaffold just under the eaves of the dome and there they swung, buffeted by the wind,beaten by the hail and soaked by the rain,while the flashes of blue lightning trickled around the dome,down from the plat- inum lightning points on the head of the Goddess of Freedom that sur- mounts the structures.When the storm was over they crept,shaken and bruised,to safety inside the dome. Here and there throughout the city panic appeared.Horses driven fran- tic by the wind and hail,dashed through the streets in terror until they were stopped by collision with some other wind-strewn object.In some of the office buildings and the government departments disastrouspaniesnarrowlywereaverted.At the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where hundreds of women are em- payer.the wind,sweeping through a uge window,sent a storm of broken plate glass hurling through the big press room.Eight or 10 women were eut by falling glass and one printer suffered ‘severe scalp wounds.While the excitement wag at its height,the wind caught a bundle of 1,000 one-dol- lar bills,half finished,and swept it through the broken wndow.The bun- dle was ripped to pieces and the bills scattered far and wide. Director Ralph hurried out a force of scouts.and after combing the grounds of the Washington monumentandffshinginthetidalbasinnearby all but $75 worth of the bills were recovered..Another panic threatened at the Pension office,where the lightning ripped acorner of the roof and crashed in scores of windows,An- other lightning bolt tore a hole in the roof of the Postoffice building and rip- ped open one face of the big clockinthetower.The wind ripped 15heavypanels{tem the floor ‘of the fistocte ond Aqueduct bridge and a horse and wagon crossing the struc- ture was blown into the river.The driver escaped. On Potomac river water traffic was demoralized.A tug was sunk but the crew wag rescued.James Stod- dard,a soldier,rescued three Wash- ington physicians from an overturned small boat in the river.None of the men could swim.Launches and small crafts along the shores were swept from their moorings and carried away down the river ahead of the gale.

A declaration from President Huer- ta that “no American in Mexico shall suffer injustice or violence with his cognizance”was made public by the State Department in the follow- ing announcement: “President Huerta has expressed himself as regretting very much that the American government should ascribe to the influence of the Mex- ican government any «action which might be construed as antagonistic to Americans during his occupancy of the Executive authority,and desires|the State Department to be assured |that no injustice or violence shall be |done to Americans with his cogniz-|ance while he is in his present posi-|tion. “The Mexican consul at El Paso jhas informed the Mexican foreign |office that the matter of the shooting |of Dixon has been satisfactorily cr- jranged and it is stated that the gov- jernment at Mexico City seems most |desirous of meeting the desires of the |United States in every way possible.ES |Republicans Dividing in Tariff Revis- ion Fight.

Gov.Major of Missouri has issued a proclamation setting apart Wednes- day and Thursday,August 20 and 21, as publie holidays,to be known as “Good Roads Days.” Every able-bodied man in the rural districts and cities of the State is asked to put in these days working on the public highways.The Governor requests that all ordmary business be suspended.Every county court in the State is asked to issue a supplemen- tal proclamation,The women in the country are requested to aid by fur- nishing the volunteer workers with lunches.The Governor estimates that work approximating $1,500,000 in val- ue will result. Sometimes,for spasmodic effort, under the influence of enthusiastic boosting,this sert or thing accom- plishes something temporarily.Re- cently Mr.John T.Patrick,a well known North Carolina promoter and booster,tried out this plan for two days’work on the Hickory Nut Gap road,between Rutherfordton and Bat Cave.During the two days it issaid1,500 volunteers worked for apartofthetimeandputtheroadingoodconditionfromRutherfordtontoBatCave,a distance of 20 miles.Theladiesfurnishedlunchesandthelastdaywasfeaturedbywubarbecue.

Sloan Clothing Company FRIDAY,-+---August 1,1913, THE’LANDMARK The Rock Spring Campmeeting. ’The official board of.Rock Spring circuit and the presiding elder,Rev. Lee T.Mann of Statesville,met a STATE AID TO NEW RAILROADS, A Statement of.the Facts in Reply toSomeRatherHystericalState- ments. Raleigh Times. Discussing the working of the con- victs of the State on railroad pro-jects the Carolina Fruit and Truck-ers’Journal says among other things: “The fact has leakéd out that theState’s penitentiary convicts have for years past been hired out to irrespon- sible railroad corporations in NoCarolinaandpaythereformade instocksofthesecompanieswhichin. many cases is hardly worth the paper it is written on.To our waythinkingsuchapropositionislittle less than amazing.The idea of asanesetofbusinéssmenhandlingtheState’s property and finances in such a reckless manner is inexcusable,un- business-like and should be ended in-stanter.Governor Craig,therefore,now that he is acquainted with the facts in the case, to cancel all such contracts and agree- ments within 30 days from date.” We wish particularly to call atten-tion to the first part of-the first sen- tence of the above.The language, “The fact has leaked out,”conveys a wrong impression.There never hasbeenanythingsecretaboutthehiring of convicts to new'railroads,It has always been the policy of the Statetodothisandthefirstrailroadsin the Staté were built largely by con- vict labor.And again it is asserted that the Governor’ought to cancel all railroad contracts..We doubt if theGovernorhastheauthoritytocaneel such contracts.The contracts aremadenotsimplyontheinitiativeof the Governor,but under the authori- ty of direct legislative enactment.The Governor might refuse to make any new contracts,but even with regard to new contracts it would be better for the Legislature to repeal the pres- ent law on the subject,if no more are to be made,than to put the Governor in the position of having to practical- ly evade the law.A good deal of hysteria has been indulged in on thissubjeet.Here is a sample,though by no means the worst,from the same source as the above excerpt: “If it is the policy of the present administration to hire out the con- victs then there are plenty of peopleandcorporationsthatwouldbeonly too glad to pay $1.50 a day for them and pay that amount in good andlawfulmoneyandnotinpaper.From the last report of the penitentiary authorities it is given out that as a result of this foolhardy policy thepeopleatlargehavegottobetaxed to the tune of $95,000 with whichtoliftthepenitentiaryoutofthehole into which this policy has engulfed it. Think of it!The people having to be taxed to support a convict system for building short dine railroads,the stock in which is hardly worth the paper on which it is written while all rth |ers from different denominations are of |der Mann with reference to this meet- month or more ago end discussed theadvisabilityofdiscontinuingthean-nual campmeeting at the famous Rock Spring campground.It was de- cided that the meeting should be dis- continued,This action met with much opposition on the part of theeopleandanoticepublishedinTheandmarkaweekago,signed by a! number of citizens,stated that the meeting would be held,beginning Au- gust 7th;that the meeting would be run on the union plan and “preach- expected.” :The Newton News’of Tuesday says it has a statement from Presiding El- ing,two paragraphs of which it quotes as follows: “1.That it is the will of this quar- terly conference that the Rock Spring campmeetirig services shall be discon- tinued from and after this date. “2.That we hereby decree and or-der that the said campground shall not any more be used for the hold- ing.of campmeeting services at any time,either now or hereafter.” Inasmuch as the ¢ampground prop- erty is owned and controlled by the Methodist Church and the quarterly conference of the circuit’and the pas- tor,Rev.T.E.Wagg,have issued orders positively forbidding the hold- ing of services there,it would seem that the folks who may try to hold the .campmeeting are inviting trouble.

Democrats and Republicans of the Senate clashed again in debate on the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill Wed- nesday when Senator Stone charged that the Republicans were deliber- ately attempting to bring ona panic in their-spe tackéry the pending measure.;: Republican leaders,denying any in- tention to bring about disaster,declar- ed “they feared that «uch actually would be the result.Senator Gallin- ger asserted he was no “calamity howler”but that he actually feared the resnit which he hoped would not come.If the disaster he feared did not.come,the Senator said the glory would go to the Democrats.Senator Penrose declared that notonlydid“=“gay the proposed bill would bring x disastrous conse-quences but that industrial depres- sions already was upon the country. He cited instances of steel mills in Pennsylvania that already had closed down. While Republican and Democratic leaders were engaged in hot discus- sion,Senator Kenyon,progressive Re- publican,averred that in his talks he had always stated he did not believe the pending bill would result in disas- ter and that the people of his State did not believe so either. “Of course I was not referring to the progressive Republicans,”said Senator Stone.“I meant that the ma-jority of the minority were attempt-ing to arouse the people.”a Homicide in Union—Brother KilledBrother.

The term of Iredell Superior Court,scheduled for two weeks,ad-journed for the term Friday mone after a session of four days,practica ly all the time devoted to the criminal docket.The civil docket was contin- ued,it is supposed because the law- yers thought the weather too warm to try cases.‘ Henry Smith,who plead guilty of gambling,was fined $25 and gave bond of $100 to appear at next term and show good behavior. Caney Fletcher,who was convicted to the chain gang for eight months payment of $100 and the costs,the latter being $60.76,judgment being suspended on good behaviour.+As the $100°is not a fine but a contribution made for clemency,the commissioners are authorized to apply the amount to such public uses as they deem best. Bill Fox and Luther Jefferson,found guilty of assaulting Jim Winchester, colored,paid into court $66.66 each and the costs and were released from a sentence of four months on the roads.Coley Hamlet,the other de- fendant in the same case,has until Saturday to pay his part of the fine. If he fails he will go to the roads. The fine of $50 in the case of Dick Summers,colored,for retailing,was reduced to $25,defendant giving bond in the sum of $100 to appear at next term and show good behaviour. Isaac Rash and Maurice Jurney paid their fines of $100 and $200,re- spectively,and were released.: No]pros with leave was entered in the case of Jack Morgan,charged with retailing and the case against Lindsay Barker and Ada Money,for- nication and adultery,was continued.

TUESDAY,~- COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS A few days ago the report was sent out that a quantity of whiskey and becr had’been seized at the Atlantic hotel,Morehead City,bythe mun-c- ipal authorities.The lessees of the hotel explain that the Stimulants aforesaid had been purchased by or- der of Mr.G.D,Canfield,a promi, nent citizen of Morehead,for the entertainment of delegates to the good roads convention,which was held at Morehead last week.Dele- gates to meetings at Morehead would do well to take a private supply along if they want to be sure of some- thing on the side.A car load,more or less,of “wet goods”intended for the doctors’meeting at Morehead,a couple of months ago,was seized en route;and the doctors had to contént themselves with Morchead City we- ter,which isn’t good waterto’drink. Now it is the good road boosters who had to go dry and reflect.that at Morehead there’s ‘‘water,water every- where and not a drop to drink.” * The Southern Express Company,which out ranks almost all the other *publie service corporations (Bell Tel- - ephone Company excepted)as a gou- ger,had its usual nerve with it when it attempted te evade-a part of the taxes assessed against it by the|State. The State levied a tax on the gross receipts of the company,the tax be- mg 2 1-2 per cent for 1909 and\1910 and 8 per cent for 1911 and 1912. The express company,m1 twurning in the amount of gross receipts to be taxed,coolly deducted the amount paid the railroads for transporta- tion.That the company,by the same token,did not deduct the amount paid employes,for office rentandallotherexpenseswhatsoever,is a matter for surprise;but it was generous enough to stop after deduct- ing transportation expenses.Inas- much as the tax is om the gross re- ceints the deduction of any expense whatever is a violation of the law and the State is calling for the money due and held back. 6 ** Applauding the remarks of Mr.Underwood,who characterized Mul- hall as “a liar and a blackmailer,” the Charlotte Observer says: “The former officers of the Nation- turned down because it seems thePresidenthadnotaskedtheSenatorsforpermissiontonametheman.WearealsoassuredthatthisagreementwillbefeltinNorthCarolinaap-pointments in the near future,as therearesomecandidatesforpostmasterwhoareobjectionabletotheNorth Carolina Senators,or at least to Sen-ator Simmons.It will be rememberedthatMr.Wilson turned down the man selected by Congressman GodwinandSenatorSimmonsforpostmaster at Wilmington and put in H.MeL.Green as his own choice.We arenowassuredthePresidentwouldnot have’been allowed to put Mr.Greenoverbutforthefactthattheappoint-ment of Mr.Watts as collector was pending and other favors were de- sired of the President,so it was not considered wise to antagonize him just then.But having obtained the desired favors of the President,it isinferredthatitisnowthepurposeto show him who is boss.All of which leads to the conclusion that UnitedStatesSenatorsarenot.above doing some very small things at times,It is natural for Senators to want tonametheirfriendsforofficeanditisproperforthemtodosowithinreas-onable bounds.But others have some rights.It has always been the cus- tom for members of Congress to name the postmasters in their districts ex- cept inthe home towns of Senators. That-is proper;the members have some rights and privileges.It would also be proper,inasmuch as the Pres- ident is the appointing power,to al- low him to name his personal choiceoccasionally.But this,according to the-report,is not-te-be.The Senators must either name them.all,or at least the men appointed must be un- objectionable to the Senators.TherehavebeenoutcroppingsinNorthCar- olina that apeer to confirm this.Two or three postmaster appointments recommended by members of Congress have been held up by Senator Sim- mons.In one case ct least it is admit- ted that the man recommended is unobjectionable but Senator Sim- mons prefers another.It is assum- ed that if the Senators are to pursue this course that it is their purpose to build up or keep in repair a good working machine.

Charles W.Dockery on behalf of himself and the citizens of Burch station,Surry county,has placed be- fore the Inter-State Commerce Com- mission an entirely new phase of gov- ernmental railroad control,when he petitioned the commission to order the Southern railway to establish a de- pot with an agent at Burch station. The petition states.that the appeal is made to the commission because the corporation commission of North Carolina has no jurisdiction,there be- ing a station within five miles of Burch and the State law is thereby met. Mr.Dockery alleges that.the citi- zens of his vicinity furnish consider- able passenger and freight business and the failure of the railway com- pany to establish a depot and place an agent there is unjust and unrea- sonable discrimination against thelocality.The petition will hardly be granted.To do so would open the way for thousands of similar cases.

For the word “good”read great. Mr.Holton is a very good‘lawyer but not a great lawyer,is what The Gandmark said.Mr.Holton is also an industrious lawyer.The Landmark would deprive him of no pratse or honor to which he is entitled.It simply showed by the records that he is not the great lawyer some of the ill-informed newspapers have tried to make him. The career of a prominent and use- ful citizen ended in the death of Mr.J.Gaither Hall at Lenoir Fri- day.Fort years he was the best known citizen of Hickory and «the leader of all worthy public enterpris- es in that town.He spent the best years of his life in building up Hick- ory and the success of the town was largely due to his enterprise and pub- lic spirit.He took an active in- terest in politi¢s and was always on the side of morality and the best in- terest of his community and ~the State as he saw it.He was a mem- ber of the building commission of the State Hospital at Morganton and from the opening.of the institution to his death a member of the board of directors,serving for a time as presi- dent of the board and for years as a member of the executive committee. He was a good and useful man. The purpose of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to deposit $25,000,- 000 to $50,000,000 in Southern and Western banks to facilitate the move- ment of crops,meets general and hearty approval.This new policy is the antithesis of that adopted by for- mer Secretary of the Treasury Mac- Veagh,who a year ago declined to make government deposits to relieve the tight money market on the ground that the moderate surplus Federal funds at that time should be held as a reserve to be utilized at some pos- sible critical stage.With the net bal- ance in the general fund amounting to nearly $132,000,000,Secretary Me- Adoo has taken the stand that the government should anticipate the sit- uation by placing deposits where and at the time they are needed.If the full $50,000,000 is deposited this will temporarily.nearly double the goy- ernment’s deposits With the banks, which at present hold $58,000,000 of Federal funds.‘ It is to be hoped that it will not be necessary for Gov.Craig to call out troops to keep the peace between the contending faction’.who are en- mans i verbar wariare pyer the Rock Spring campmeeting.As has “-/been retited in The Landmark,the’ quarterly eonference of Rock Spring circuit decided that the “meetings should be discontinued.Others inter- ested decided to have a campmeeting and a notice,signed by seven of the trustees,was issued naming August 7th as the date for the meeting to begin.This was followed by the pub- lication of a lengthy statement by Presiding Elder Mann of Statesville and the circuit pastor,Rev.T.E. Wagg,in which the authority of the Methodist.Chureh over the camp- ground was set forth and all persons were positively forbidden to hold a meeting at Rock Spring this year or at any other time except by consent of the quarterly conference.Now comes J.A.King,the mayor of RockSpringcampground,who says hethas consulted attorneys and that by actoftheLegislatureheandthethreecommissionerselectedwithhimhaveauthorityoverthecampgroundandthemeetingwillbeheldthisyear.The nieeting is scheduled to beginthisweekandweshallseewhatwillbetheresultoftheconflictofauthor- ity.

For years Mr.Hall was one of the best known citizens of western North Carolina.He was born in Iredell county February 10,1845,and was in his 69th year.He enlisted in theConfederatearmyinWilkes‘-eBunty in 1861,at the age of 16,was made orderly sergeant of his company and jJater promoted to lieutenant.HiscareerasaConfederatesoldierwasinallrespectspraiseworthy. At the close of:the war Mr,HallbeganworkasasalesmaninastoreinWilkesboro.In 1872 he and his brother engaged in business in Hick- ory with R.L.Patterson and later the two brothers bought the entire business,establishing the firm of HallBrothers.This firm had more or less to do with all the business in- terests of the town of Hickory and Mr.Hall was repeatedly elected may- or and alderman of that town.Hispoliticalandbusinessactivitiesin Hickory won for him an enviable reputation,and often he was intro- duced to strangers as the “owner and proprietor of Hickory.”Mr.HallestablishedthePiedmontWagon Works at Hickory,now one of the most successful manufacturers.of farm wagons in the South.For a number of years he was a director of the Chester &Lenoir Railroad Com- pany,now the Carolina and North- western.

President Wilson has withdrawn the | nomination of Adam E.Pattersonof | Oklahoma,a negro,to be Register of the Treasury.Patterson declined the appointment and the President nomi- nated instead Gabe E.Parker of Ok- lahoma,a Choctaw Indian,recom mended by both Senators from Ok- lahoma and the congressional delega- tion from that State. In his letter to President Wilson Patterson says: “In view of recent developments caused by my name having been sub- mitted to the United States Senate for confirmation as Register of the Treasury,|beg to request that you withdraw my nomination for that position.I consider that you have aid me a high tribute and an honor well worth cherishing in appointing me Register of the United States Treasury,for which I heartily thank you.I had hoped that the nomination and confirmation would be made with- out protest..This hope,it seems,was unfounded. “T refuse to embarrass your admin- istration,Mr.President,by insisting upon my confirmation,and I also be- lieve it is best for my race that I withdrew my nanie frem.further con- sideration for that position.-I am~“*>that thé spirit of harntiny and? sood will exist.between the.two races, and by taking this step I believe it will go far toward bringing about a rmeore friendly feeling.” Patterson worked in the Democratic national headquarters during the lastpresidentialcampaigninthecolored men’s bureau and was recommendedbyNationalCommitteemanHudspeth of New Jersey.Opposition in the Senate from Southern Senators brought about the withdrawal of Pat- terson’s name..

Provisional President sHuerta of Mexico has let it be known that he will not resign and that he will brook no interference in Mexican affairs by outsiders.While no plan that the American’government has under se- rious consideration involved any di- rect interference in Mexican affairs, the admitted attitude,.of the adminis- tration is one of unalterable op- position to the recognition of the Huerta regime and there was some hope that a way would be opened for Huerta to get out.

EDITOR POE AT MOORESVILLE. He Spoke in Behalf of Segregation of the Races and the Development of Rural Communities—Picnic Net- ted Orphanage About $900. Correspondence of The Landmark. Mooresville,Aug.4—One of the most interesting,as well as one of the most profitable,addresses heard here for many months was the splen- did talk by Mr.Clarence Poe,editor of the Progressive Farmer,at the picnic grounds Thursday.His speech was practical and dealt with rural conditions of North Carolina—what needs to be done to have a great ru- ral civilization in North Carolina? North Carolina has,the speaker stat- ed,a greater area than England, Scotland or Greece,and should have as great a civilization as either.If our rural civilization is great our State will be great for 85 per cent of our people live in the country. In order to have rural conditions what they should be the races must be segregated and the white people must predominate on the farm.Many white people have sold their farms and moved to towns because and only because the negroes were surround- ing them,which made the social life very undesirable.There should be communities of the whites and com- munities of the negroes separate and apart,which will be better for both races.The acreage tilled by thewhitesisrapidlyonthedecreaseand that by the negroes is on the increase. What the white people should do is more and better farming.We need more white people on the farms. There is plenty of room.The white population of North Carolina is holf that of Maryland and only one-fifth that of Massachusetts.In the last few years the acreage tilled by the white man decreased 500,000,while that worked by the negro has increas- ed 200,000.During the last ten years the negroes have increased their acre- age 700,000.Negroes have purchas- ed land in white communities which resulted in a general decrease in land values because of this fact.These conditions are creating a sentiment in favor of having the colored people purchase land in communities to themselves and in some places the sentiment is having good results. After race segregation should come,for rural communities,practi- eal education.Farm life should be a business life and the schools should recognize this fact.Agriculture should be taught in every country school and the text books chosen should be selected for their practical value.The speaker stated that ev- ery arithmetic is full of tables of Eng- lish money,the metric system,etc., but you could seldom find a practical rule for mixing fertilizers.hat is the farmers’business and he should have his business taught in the coun- try schools. Following practical education the farmers should co-vperate.Business people co-operate and run__cotton mills.They co-operate and build rail- roads,electric plants,conduct mer- cantile businesses.Small farmers es- pecially should do the same thing.A one-horse farmer with a one-horse farm is not prepared to work his crops:properly;but two,or several such farmers can unite their forces and do better work and that with — expense.-As gn example the spetold4Ptwoyoungmenwhohadone“horse each and a.small tarmWorkingalonetheymade20bishels of corn to the acre.In working to- gether they made 40 bushels to the acre and that with less work.It was simply the principle of co-epera- tion by which nearly every business enterprise is conducted. To encourage better farming and improve rural conditions three officers are necessary and important:A county superintendent of education, a county demonstration agent and a health officer.Together with these a local newspaper,.devoted to the devel- opment of the community,will be of inestimable value as will a splendid rural mail service. This is merely a synopsis of a prac- tical talk to the farmers about North Carolina that is to be.Progress along agricultural lines has.been marked for several years and such leadership as the Progressive Farmer and its editors are giving will have a lasting effect. In every respect the picnic was a success.The gross receipts amounted to about $1,200 and the actual ex- pense were about.$300,leaving $900fortheBariumSpringsorphanage. Social Items.

Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. The Democratic Senators will standtogetherinattemptstoforcetheWilsonadministrationtomakeap>pointments to Federal jobs as desired by them.The action rate yesterday, when without a dissenting vote,the nomination of Paul A.Jones to be postmaster at Coffeyville,Kan.,wasrejected,was intended as a demonstra- tion by the Senators of their power over appointments.The next show of ‘senatorialstrengthinthisrespectwillcomeup-on the nomination of Adam E.Pat-terson to be Register of the Treasury.The Senators from the Southern States—even Senators.loyal to Presi-dent Wilson in all other matters—have served notice that Patterson can- not be confirmed,Jones,like H.McL.Green,the pres- ent postmaster at Wilmington,was nominated by President Wilson as:a “personal”appointment.Mr.GreenwasmorefortunatethanwasJones. But at the time Green was nominat- ed there were other chestnuts in the fire.Col.Alston D.Watts was eag-erly seeking a commission that would give him the title of collector of in-ternal revenue for the western dis- trict and there were other favors to be esked at the White House.So Green,although not the choice.of either of the Senators,was allowed to go through. But from now on appointments that have not been o k.-d by..the Sena- tors from the State in which the ap- pointment is made will never be con- firmed by the Senate.A “gentle- man’s agreement”seems to have been reached between the Democratic Sena- tors to strictly adhere to this policy. Indeed the strong hand of the Sen- ators may be in evidence in a short time when the nominutions for post- masters in North Carolina are sent to the Senate which are not in har- mony with the Senators.There are several nominations pending which it is understood are objectionable to Senator Simmons.It is confidently expected that he will never allow thes¢men to be confirmed.

DESTROYING NATURE’S BOUNTY Logging Roads Penetrating Mountain Fastness and Destroying the Mag- nificent Forests. Greensboro News. The ruthless hand of commercial ex-ploitation is unusually busy in thewesternNorthCarolinaparadisesjustnow.Last week the Mt.Mitchell rail- road was formally opened and the press dispatches faithfully endeavoredtodescribethebeautyandgrandeur of the country opened up—opened up for destruction.Governor Craig op- timistically observed “nature can nev- er be destroyed,”but the foremost lesson for our people todayis that na- ture’s bounty can be conserved,andtheconversemustbetrue.Thurs-~|day afternoon the top of the ©cliff above beautiful Lookingglass falls, in Transylvania,was blown off,tomakeaplaceforaloggingrailroad to pass-up into the Pink Beds.‘The Davidson river valley and coves and cliff sides are alive with men,dig- ging,blasting,laying rails,cutting crossties,snaking thousands of logs across the stream,hauling them down to the great mill of the Carr Lumber Company at Pisgah Forest.For near- ly two years another lumber company has been operating in the Gloster region of Transylvcnia.Two years azo this was a region of the finest speckled trout streams in the world. It was a primeval forest and prime- val conditions existed in its magnifi- cent solitudes.A year ago the upper reaches of Cane river and its tribu- tarics,in Yancey—the foot of Mt, Mitchell,and the home of historic Big Tom Wilson—-were much <s they ap- peared when Big Tom first trod the rugged trails,except that the streams were last year better stocked with fish and the deer in the forests almost en- tirely immune from the depredations of wandering dogs.A logging rail-road is now creeping up into this country and laborers’snacks occupy the pleasant glades.Forney’s creek in Swain county is another magnif- icent watershed that has within the past few years been doomed to the axe.Of all these operations,that on Davidson's river is the only one,we believe,that is being carried on under. restrictions that will prevent what will amount to deforestation. The people of North Carolina know nothing of their western country.Those who visit Asheville,and Hen-dersonville,and Waynesville,and travel along the railroads,see noth- ing of the real Over Hills.In a few years the construction of good:roads through these regions,with the au-tomobile,will open the eyes of thepeopletoa'wealth of beauty and resource that will be a revelation and a conviction;but much of this wealth will then have been turned into bank balances.And we believe there will, in a few-years,be a conviction of legislative neglect,of the wanton de- struction of something which should have been preserved to the people and to posterity. STOLEN ART OBJECTS What Becomes of Them and How Disposed Of.| Baltimore Sun. The discovery in this city of an ancientGreeksculpture,supposed to | have been stolen from the National| Museum in Athens ten or fifteen years ago,is an interesting if not sensa tional occurrence.It brings to mind the thefts of other famous art ob jects,of the “Mona Lisa,”of course;| of Gainsborough’s “Duchess of Devor shire,”of the cope of Pope Nichola IV,for which Pierpont Morgan paid a fabulous price and then turned it| back to the Italian Government from which it had been stolen.And it sug gests an answer to the frequent in-| quiry,what becomes of these things and how are they disposed of? A common observation when the ‘Mona Lisa”was stolen was:What! good will it do the thief?He will not be able to sell it.The thieves however,are better tmformed~tha those ‘who -make*such:Fe ak tiieTheSaintNicholascopewasSoldand|the supposed thief died in funds.|though he had been a penniless indi-| vidual.The “Duchess of Devonshire”| was almost as famous a picture as the “Mona Lisa.”Mr.Morgan,when| he at length bought it,paid $150,000|for it.It was stolen in London by an American crook,stolen from Agnew,| the famous art dealer,who had just sold it to Pierpont Morgan’s father, but had not delivered it.It was kept in hiding for many years and.finally sold back to Agnew by the thief,his friend,Pat Sheedy,acting as agent. While the thief got only a fraction of the value of the painting,still it w:as | enough to make it worth his while| from his standpoint.| Two other suggestions as to what becomes of these stolen art etespringfromtheBaltimorecase. the story of Nemphos fs to bé Se lieved,the thief,eitner because he | feared detection or for some otherreason,left the bust here and then | went off and forgot it.Or he mayhavedied.If Nemphos was a party to the theft or in collusion with the| thieves after the act,then evidentlytheywerewaitingforachancetodis-|pose of it and were willing to take|their time in order to avoid detection.|In either case it is apparent that the|business is a very uncertain one and |.no one can enter\into it with any ass | surance of its furnishing ‘him alsteadymeans.of livelihood.”Asinthecdsewithsomeotherlinesof business,though.profits are large,sales are few and uncertain.

Washington Dispatch,July 31,to Bal- timore Sun. A lively scene ensued in the Senate chamber this afternoon during the woman suffragist demonstration when Senator Thornton of Louisiana, in a stirring speech,opposed the movement. The galleries were filled to their ca- pacity.Most of the spectators were visiting delegates,some of whom hadjourneyedacrossthecontinentandhadtakenpartintheautomobilepar- ade from Hyattsville.Grouped to- gether in one corner of the gallery were a number of anti-suffragistsandupontheconclusionofSenatorThornton’s address these women ten-dered their champion an ovation that fairly shook the chamber.

Fire,started by lightning in theBloomfieldManufacturingCompa-ny’s cotton warehouse at Bloomfield, during the severe storm which passedaverthissectionearlyTuesdaynight,did damage to the extent of several thousand dollars.One half of the warehouse,which is divided by a*heavy brick wall,was gutted by the flames and 186 bales of cotton stored in the house,the property of the Paola Cotton Mill,was burnedoverandbadlydamaged.The cotton was worth in the neighborhood of$12,000 and it is not known just how much of it can be saved.The loss will probably.be covered by the in- surance carried on the cotton by the Paola company.There was no in- surance on the*warehouse,which is damaged to the extent of several hun- dred dollars. Immediately following a bright flash of lightning night operatives in the Paola mill saw flames burst from a corner of the warehouse and the alarm was immediately givon. The fire fighting appliances of the Paola and Bloomfield mills were put into commission with unusual rapid- ity and within a few minutes three streams of water were going into the warehouse,The operatives of the mills turned out in full force despite the storm and the fire was so well handled that the roof and floor of the warehouse remained intact and most of the bales of cotton were removed before the fire had burned very deep into them.When a bale of cotton once gets afire it is hard to put the fire out and after the cotton was re- moved from the warehouse much of it continued to burn inside until torn open and water poured in.The warehoyse is located about half way between the Paola and Bloomfield mills and is a large one- story frame structure,with metal roof and heavy brick wall partition. The fire started in the half of the building used by the Paola mill and was confined to that portion of the building,the brick wall keeping the flames from the Bloomfield side of the building.

Will Build a Road Across the County That Will Connect Iredell,Davie and Forsyth Counties. Chairman Feimster of the board of| county commissioners,Commissioner R.F.Gaither and Messrs.Z.V.Long and H.P.Griér attended a meeting of the highway commissioners of Davie county at Mocksville Tuesday night in the interest of a good road across Davie,connecting Iredell and For- syth.The idea is that if this road is built the State Central Highway will be turned at Greensboro to come via Winston-Salem and Mocksville to Statesville;and that the National Highway,which now passes Winston- Salem,will be turned across Davie to Statesville and thence to Charlotte. At the meeting Tuesday night, Which was attended by citizens of Davie interested,the ~Davie high- way commission,which has the ex- penditure of the $175,000 voted for roads in Davie,agreed to build the road,and this being done it is believ- ed the travel will take to this route, whether or not there is an official change of the routes of the State Central Highway and National High- way.A bridge is to be built over the river between Davie and Forsyth and a good road built across Davie via Mocksyille to the hredell line.The route has not been located.There has been some suggestion of what is known as the Campbell bridge route, but this would take the road through a portion of Rowan and this may or may not cause a change. The fact that there is to be a good road from Statesville across Davie to Winston-Salem is very important to Statesville and this section.States- ville is also interested in a good road to Rowan,and if the road across Davie does not come by what is known as the Campbell bridge route,a road should be built to connect Statesville with that route.The Iredell com- missioners have agreed to tap the Rowan line whenever the Rowan people will agree to build a road to the line.As Scotch Irish township, in Rowan,is to yote on a bond issue of $20,000 for roads it is hoped this will be done.But whether Rowan builds to the Iredell line or not,Statesville is intérested in a road that will tap that sectioa of Rowan and our people should get busy and push the matter.

Neither can teachers do their best work in their home communities, «where they are related to patrons of the school and where the,children are all on more or less familiar terms with them.In~-employing school~rendher,“*~*~"."ad away fromhomeandhome@iehersshould’go elsewhere.If your teacher is not a resident of the community and should prove unsatisfactory,he can be drop- ped with scant cerempny.If he is "among his friends an@ kin it will be difficult to get rid of him,no matterhowincompetentheis. o =* Cotton exchanges,speculators and others have raised a howl about the proposition pending in Congress, fathered by Senator Clarke of Ar-kansas,to impose a tax on deals in cotton futures.It is asserted that the tax will destroy the cotton exchanges and will cost the cotton farmer mil- lions (the speculators are always con- cerned about the interest of the farm- er.)The Landmark is frankly una-ble to see why it is necessary to gam- ble to benefit the farmer or the cot- ton market,but as it doesn’t profess to understand the matter it hasn’t dis-cussed it.On this subject the Wil- mington Star publishes a letter from“a prominent North Carolina planterandbusinessman”in reply toa letter from a firm connected with the New York cotton exchange,and The Land-mark is publishing the letter as amatterofinformation.The Star saysthewriteroftheletteris“an experi-enced cotton man and has made aJongstudyofitfromboththepro-ducing and marketing standpoints.”Writing the New York people,whowereaskinghimtofightthetaxonfutures,the North Carolinian Says:“Dear Sir:I have yours of the 22d,and in reply will say that I would not enter any protest against thisClarkebilh,I think it would be animprovementonthepresentmethod of cotton exchange Alealings and IthinktheviolentfluctuationsthatyourmethodsinNewYorkpermit,without either attracting buying ofactualcottoninyourmarketorsales of actual cotton in your market,isresponsibleforthisdemandforregu- lation,and if this bill becomes a lawitismyopinionthatyourorganiza-tion oan take to itself the entireereditforthislegislation.:“T am ready.to admit that a eotton|exchangelocatedat acentralpointin the cotton-producing section wheretradesweremadebasedonactualcot-ton,might be so conducted as to be abenefittotheproducerandmanufac-turer,but after 20 or more years’ex-perience in the cotton trade I am thor-oughly convinced that an exchangethathandlesoveronehundredmillionbalesof,paper contracts annually in a city where port receipts show to beaboutfifteenthousandbalesannually,and conducted in a manner that themarketcanadvance:approximatelyonehundredpointswithoutattract-ing shipments of actual cotton to yourmarket,or decline 100 points and not attract buyers of actual cotton in yourmarket,can’t be a benefit to any le- gitimate industry;and it is my judg-ment that the sooner this kind of anorganizationisputoutofexistenceor reduced to a basis of legitimate cot-ton transactions,the better it will befortheProducerandconsumer.” Recently two young women,Misses Clifford,teachers:in the Charlotte graded schools,were not re-elected,the objection to them being that they were members of the Catholic Church. One report said they were competent teachers and unobjectionable except as to the matter of their religious be- lief.Another report said the young women had made themselves objec- tionable by severe criticism of the Bible before their pupils.Be that asitmay,their rejection as teachers at-tracted considerable attention,many Protestants protesting against theirrejection,Anent the incident Father Phelan,a Catholic priest of St.Louis, wrote the following in the Western Watchman,a Catholic paper: “But in the United States,where all churches are equal before the law, and no citizen can be made to suffer because of his religion,nothing can explain the action of those civic bodies in inflicting disabilities on Catholics but the old anti-Catholic devil that abides in them.Protestants do not know the meaning of civil and re- ligious liberty,and they never will. “There may be another and a more serious reason for the dismissal of those Catholic teachers by the school board of Charlotte.North Carolina and Tennessee are the two most be- nighted,and at the same time,the two most Protestant States in the Union.The men have neither relig- ion nor morality.We were astounded a short time ago to learn from a prominent lady of North’Carolina, who is a convert of some years,that the men of that State are notorious libertines.She told us the wealthier class of male whites did little butdrinkwhiskey.on.the sly and multiplymulattoes.God help poor girls who depend for their livelihood on these immoral wretches.We know a time in this city when promotion in the public schools went by favors that de- cency forbade cataloging.It may be that a similar state of affairs obtainsinCharlotte.If so,we can see,if not a good reason,at least a very strong motive for the action of the school board of that city.The ten men who could publicly confess that they had ostracized from the schools of Charlotte two ladies on the sole ground that they were members of the Catholic Church,have already fallentotheJowestdepthsofturpitudeand Cathalite i They have no use for Catholi¢s in the schools or out ofthem.’In their eyes a pure Catholic girl is a menace to a religion that sing bravely that it may believe stillmorebravely.It was always a dis- grace to belong to North Carolina, and its unfortunate people used to palliate the ignominy by saying they lived near the Virginia line.The poor Tar Heels will now have to add:and very far from Charlotte.”Nothing seems to so quickly stir the worst in men as a religious dis- pute.Fanatical Protestants have made wholesale charges against the Catholics fully as bad as the above» but they did not répresent the feeling of the Protestant masses.We should regret to think that this slander- ous and vit®utterance of Priest Phe- lan représents any considerable part of the Catholic world.But the fact that he is a priest and editor of aChurchpaperwillhaveatendencytomakePratt....iank-he speaks for[rts people.In anyvevent his utter- ance will have the effect of intensi- fying and enlarging anti-Catholic feeling in North Carolina. Stringent Law Regulating the Hand- ling of Cocaine. Mr.D.B.Smith of Charlotte has given the Observer some informationjaboutthecocainelawpassedbythe\last Legislature. “This new law not only extends the use of the capias ad testificandum to include cocaine,”said Mr.Smith,“but it goes farther than that and enacts a search and seizure provision identical with the search and seizure law relat- ing to whiskey.Not content with that the statute goes further still and makes the mere possession of cocaine a misdemeanor,unless it has been ob- tained upon the bona-fide prescription of a duly licensed physician,and the burden of proving the latter fact is upon the defendant.Still unsatisfied, the statute takes another step andmakesthebarepossessionofany amount of cocaine,or any of its salts or compounds,under any and all cir- cumstances,prima facie evidence oftheviolationoflaw.’-Speaking a little further,Mr.Smithsays: “Under this new law two.defensesareopentoonewhoisfoundwithcocaineinhispossession: “First.That he is a duly licensedphysicianordruggistoroneofcer- tain excepted classes,such as hos- pitals,medical colleges and the like.“Second.That he nas obtained it upon the bona-fide prescription of adulylicensedphysician.“Unless he can bring his defonseunderoneortheotherofthesetwopropositions,the bare possession ofcocainewillwarrantaverdictofguilty.” COSTLY TREATMENT.

The various railroads.operating inNorthCarolina:offered the corpora-tion commission a scale of reductions averaging 20 per cent on western roducts from the Virginia cities.he greatest reductions were offeredongrainandgrainproducts,commodi-ties shipped from the West in largervolume-than any other class of ship-ing..The saving to North Carolina ship- ers will be $24 a car on flour in car oad lots,$1.20 a ton on hay in lessthancarloadlots,$21.60 a car on canned goods,$12 car on fresh meats,$12 car on wire fencing.Each of the three zones will get its relative reduction and only the waterpointsandthosepointsneartheVir-ginia line will not share in the generalreductions,their rates already being proportionately lower than those of the other towns.These are the salient features of the report of the corporation commis- sion to Governor Craig on the result of the negotiation with the railroadsforlowerproportionaljratesfromtheVirginiacitieson inter-State shipments from the West.The com- mission asked for an average reduc-tion of 25 per cent and the railroads offered 20 per cent.The report was transmitted to the Governor withoutrecommendation,the commission pre- ferring-to wait dntil the Governor,the council of State and the special rate commission and any others whom the Governor might desire to call in could have time to digest the matter. Governor Craig,the council of State and the corporation commission con- ferred for nearly three hours over the report,the Governor announcing that he would call a meeting of the legislative commission and probablyothersfornextTuesdaytoconsider the report in detail.Printed copies of the report will be ready by the end of the week and shippers inter-ested may secure them by writing the commission.Governor Craig de- clined to comment on the report,pre- ferring to withhold judgment until the matter had been thoroughly can- vassed. On grain and grain products the commission asked for a scale of re- ductiongs amounting to 28 per cent, and the railroads offered 28.The commission asked for a reduction onflourof331-3 per cent and was offer- ed 29.On grain and grain products in less than car load lots,the ctom- mission requested 22 per cent and got it.A reduction of 10 cents was asked on flour in barrels;the railroads con- ceded 8 cents. Reduction in agricultural imple- ments,etc.,in less than car load lots,25 per cent was asked and the rail- roads offered 20.The reduction in hay amounts to $1.20 a ton in less than car load lots and $12 a ton in ear load moves.Grain and grain pro-ducts,except flour,are.reduced $20 a car on car load lots.The Mduction on flour not in barrels amounts to $24 a car.On canned goods the re- duction offered amounts to $21.60 a car,on fresh meats $12 a car,wire fencing $12. Each of the three zones will share in the proposed reductiqns.Zone No. 1,the Greensboro zone,extends from Winston to,but not including,New Berne on the Southern and Norfolk Southern,from Littleton to Cary and Henderson to Durham,including Ox- ford,on the Seaboard,and from Hali- fax to and including Goldsboro,on the Coast Line.

Government Will Go After Oleomar- garine Taxes. Suits to recover $800,000 of Feder- al oleomargarine taxes will be begun soon at Chicago against prominent packers and other oleomargarine man- ufacturers.Commissioner of Inter- nal Revenue Osborn has requested At-torney General McReynolds to proceed in accordance with recommendations of a Chicago grand jury,which re- cently investigated the situation. The grand jury criticized the previ- ous administration of the Treasury Department for compromising a mil- lion-dollar oleomargarine tax claimfor$101,000 and found that there were other cases outside the dates of the compromise in which the govern- ment is said to have lost a large sum because the manufacturers were al- leged to have paid only the tax of un- colored olemargarine”™”When their product was colored., REMARKABLE CURE OF DYSENTERY. “Il was attacked with dysentery about July 15th,and doctor’s medicine andotherremedieswithnorelief,only gettingworseallthetime.I was unable to do any- thing and my weight dropped from 145 to125pounds.I suffered for about two monthswhenIwasadvisedtouseChamberlain'sColic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.I usedtwobottlesofitanditgavemepermanentrelief,”writes B.W.Hill ef Snew Hill,N.

FRIDAY,---August 8,1913. The Landmark passes congratula- tions to Mr.J,W.Bailey of Raleigh, appointed collector of internal reve- nue for the eastern district.This paper ‘had hoped to see Mr.Bailey appointed district attorney,but,he will make good wherever he’s placed and deserves whatever honor comes to him. Rowan county commissioners have found that 800 persons in that county have failed to list property for tax~- ation and the tax-listers in each town- ship have been ordered to make af- fidavits before the clerk of the court so that warrants may be issued for the delinquents.Drastic measures should be taken in:every county to reach people who try to dodge taxes. Authorities are usually lenient with them but the offency ys a grave one and the leniency is undeserved. Gov.Craig did right in refusing to pardon the University students re- sponsible for the death of young Rand.While the refusal to grant the pardon does not materially affect their case,the granting of it would have had a tendency to minimize the of- fence;and the enormity of the brutal and cowardly practice of hazing can- not be too forcibly impressed.The students and their friends have no cause for complaint.They cause for thankfulness in that young men are not wearing stripes in the State prison instead of escap- ing with a nominal jail sentence. Recently the Raleigh Times made the claim that the poem written on the back of a Confederate and beginning, “Representing earth now,” was written by Mrs.Josiah Turner of Raleigh.This poem hag been at- tributed to many people and others have claimed it,but it was not writ- ten by a North Carolinian.Capt.P. C.Carlton of Statesville,who keeps a record of such matters,writes the Charlotte Observer that the author was Major A.S.Jonas of Mississippi, and Capt.Carlton tells the story of how the poem was written in Rich- mond just after the surrender.Sev- eral years ago there was quite a dis- cussion through The:Landmark of the authorship of this poem and The Landmark at that time received evi- dence that showed beyond question that Major Jonas was the Major Jonas,by the way,was civil life the editor of a country news- paper. A Washington special to the Wil- mington Star telling of the withdraw- al of the name of the negro Patterson, who was named for Register of the Treasury,and the appointment of an Indian named Parker,says: By withdrawing Patterson’s name and substituting «that of Parkeér,a man other than a negro will hold the office of Register of the Treasury for the first time since Grover Cleveland's day,when he named a negro “to boss white men and women,”and for the first time in the history of the United pbtates a full blooded Indian will hold #@ position of first respotsibility ‘at the seat of government. This leaves the impression that Mr. Cleveland set.the precedent,which he did not.We don’t know whether it was Grant or Hayes who first ap- pointedya negro to this job,but it is a fact that Blanche K.Bruce,a negro who had been a Senator of the United States from Mississippi in.reconstruc- tion days,was Register of the Treas- ury in the decade of the 70s.Mr. Cleveland followed the custom but he didn’t originate it. note nothing’on God's author. in There have been many destructive hail storms in the State this season but fortunately they usually cover small territory,A very destructive hail storm’in Johnston county re- cently reminds the Smithfield Heraldofahailstormofthelongago,whichisthusdescribedinExodus,9222-25. “And the Lord said unto Moses,stretch forth thine hand towardheaven,that there may be hail inallthelandofEgyptuponmananduponbeastanduponeveryherbofthefieldthroughoutthelandofEgypt.And Moses stretched forthhishandtowardheaven,and theLordsentthunderand‘hail and thefireranalonguponthegroundandtheLordrainedhailuponthelandofEgypt.So there was hail andfiremingledwiththehail..Very grievous such as there was nonelikeitinallthelandofEgyptsince it~became a nation.And the hail smote throughout all the land ofEgyptallthatwasinthefield,bothmanandbeast,and the hail smoteeveryherbofthefieldandbrake every tree of the field.” That hail strom covered all the land of Egypt,not a small section and .western ever before year. The Greensboro Newsis advisedthatRockSpringcampgroundisin Lincoln county,near Denver,not in Tredell.4 Supreme Court,whose name has been mentioned in connection with ‘the Democratic nomination for .Governor in 1916,authorizes tne announcement that he is not a candidate.His name is mentioned along with others on another page of The Landmark and this is to set him straight.Had Judge Allen decided to contest for the nomination he would have made a strong candidate. The express companies,which have so long gouged the public,have about reached a day of reckoning.The par- cel post business has cut into their re- ceipts very considerably and now the Inter-State Commerce Commission has ordered a reduction in rates which will,it is estimated cut the companies’ receipts about $26,000,000 annually. This reduction will give the public a faint idea of what it has suffered at the hands of the express companies. There is a great awakening through- out the country on this matter and public service corporations that have hogged the public are being made to disgorge. after the and it is The Landmark’s hope and belief that the Bell’s time is coming. The government is now Bell Telephone Company -STATE NEWS.

Senator Overman has received from Willis B.Dowd of New York,a walk- ing cane which was used by Governor Zeb Vance during the eivil war.It is a heavy mahogany cane with a crooked handle and shows signs of wear.Senator Overman says the cane will always be among his most highly prized possessions, J.W.Cates,who was thought to be fatally injured in an automobile accident near Elon College recently, is recovering;and a colored man nam- ed Coulter,who was thought to be fa- tally.injured in an automobile aeci- dent near Newton a few days ago,is expected to recover.Dr.J.B.Lit- tle,who was reported as one of the victims of the latter accident,was not in the party. A Richmond whiskey house sued a Durham man in a magistrate’s court for a liquor bill of $118.The defend- ant’s attorney argued that the liquor was sold for illegal purposes,that the Richmond dealers were aiding and abetting in the violation of the law, that the contract was against public morals and the debt should not be paid.The magistrate held with him and the defendant appealed.

OF EXPRESS RATES. Rates Reduced and Reforms Ordered in Express Practices., The Inter-State Commerce Com- mission has not only ordered express rates reduced from 10 to 60 per cent., which will eyt down the revenues of the express people about $26,000,000 a year,but it has ordered notable re- forms in express practices, The most important change pre- scribed by the order is by way of modification of the present graduated scale of parcel rates.One hundred pound rates for short distances eith- er have been left unchanged or but slightly reduced;for longer distances they have been lowered;for 50 pounds or less all rates have been practi- eally reduced;for packages more than four pounds going more than 200 miles and less than 2,000 the new express rates are generally lower than the parcel poSt rates;for more than 3,000 miles the,rates are prac- tically the same. By prescribing system,dividing the United States into 950 blocks,averaging 2,500 square miles,900,000,000 different rates now published by the express companies will be reduced to less than 650,000.-The Inter-State Commerce Commission believes that the sys- tem points.the way to a solution of the existing maze of freight rates. The general impression in official quarters is that the express companies will attempt to test by legal means he constitutionality of the commis- sion’s order.j A notable feature of the new ,ex- press fates ig how they doyetail inte a sen aoe ET. cheap rate for a so-called block the shipping public a the retail package. miles from a shipping point the new express rates are far in excess of the new parcel post rates which will be- come effective August 15.For dis- tances greater than 150 miles the ex- press rates are near the parcel post rate,and as the distance becomes greater the express rate gradually cuts under the parcel post rate.Inotherwords,the new Burleson par- cel post rates will give the retail ship-ping public a cheap rate for an air line distance of 150 miles.Beyond 150 miles the new express rates will step in and furnish a cheap haul. ARREARS Soldiers Planned Raid—Incident the Morehead Encampment. Charlotte Observer The conduct of the State troops at the 1913 encampment at Morehead City was generally about as good as charaeterizes these gatherings,but there was one incident that gave the people of Morehead some uneasiness and reflected small credit on the troops concerned;In brief it was a raid on q jail,either to capture a lot of liquor stored there,or to res- cue a party of soldiers who had beéh imprisoned for misconduct —maybetheraidwasforbothpurposes.Thetroopersinthelockup‘were fromAsheville.It is said that 50 soldierswereinvolvedintheraid!and’hear-ing of it,some of the people of More- head armed themselves and awaitedtheonset.Meantime Colonel Gardnerhadorderedoutacompanyofcaval- ry and it was hurried to the town,arriving there in time to prevent the trouble that was manifestly immi-nent.The whole incident was the outcome of mean whiskey,the sortblindtigerssupplyandthesortare-spectable soldier should:be ashamedtotackle.In the manly breasts of acertainclassofsoldierthereis.slum-bering a desire to play “Big Injun,”and it needs only a few drinks of of sowpaw to inflame this desire into ac-tion.‘ i For the first 150|@ New Arrivals|- READY-TO-WEARS!

Infantile paralysis has been a puz-zie to the doctors,but Dr.EW.Saunders,a specialist,talking to the St.Louis Medical Society,claimed he had proved infantile paralysis to be a fly-borne disease,originatingwithchickensandtransmittedtooth- er animals and,he believes,to chil-dren,in the larvae of flies.He gave a demonstration of his theory. That tuberculosis in early stages can be tured by manipulation along certain portions of the spinal column was the claim made by Dr.W.B. Meacham of Asheville,N.C.,before the 17th annual”convention of the American Osteopathic Association,in session at Kirksville,Mo.Dr.John D,Eason of Chicago said experiments on lower animals have substanti- ated the statements of Dr.Meach- am.

By a Series of Switchbacks a Rail-rad Has Been Built From BlackMountaintoNearMt.Mitchell. Joseph Hyde Pratt in Manufacturers’ Record..There has recently been construct-ed in Buncombe,McDowell and Yan-cey counties,North Carolina,a rail-road which extends from near BlackMountain,Buncombecounty,to nearStepp’s Gap,Yancey.county,ThisrailroadwasconstructedbyDickey, Campbell &Co.,.Inc.,to enable them to bring their lumber from,a large tract of land they have recently pur-chased on the slopes of Mt.MitchelltotheirmillnearBlackMountain.’ The railroad is a_series of switch- backs.It starts from the Southernrailwayatapointhalf-way betweenBlackMountainandSwannanoaGap.

There are two more switchbacks be- fore sufficient altitude is reached to enable the railroad to cross the ridge above .Montreat,around what is known as Brushy mountain.Aftercrossingthisridgeanotherswitch- back was required at the head ofFlatcreek,near what is known as Sourwood Gap.From this switchback the railroad passes back through Sour- wood.Gap into McDowell county, crossing back again into Buncombe county at Long Gap,then keeping around the eastern portion of Walker- town ridge through Deep Gap to Slaty mountain.Here a series of switchbacks had to be made,running on the slopes of Walkertown ridge to enable the railroad to reach sufficient altitudes to cross the divide in what is known as Potcave Gap,just under the southeastern slope of Graybeard mountain.This has brought the rail- roal to the higher portions of the summit of the Blue Ridge and no more switchbacks have been neces- sary.The road continues around Graybeard,Rocky Knob,Pinnacle, through Toe River Gap,on the lower slopes of Potato Knob to Clingman’s Peak.By means ot the switchbacks referred to the railroad has gained an altitude from 2,400 feet to approxi- tors of the company were held liable by the court for approximately $480,- 000,said to have been fraudulently secured by the sale of stock in the concern.Among the directors are A,| W.Wills,for 20 years postmaster at | Memphis,Tenn.;Dr.Haggard,who occupies the chair of surgery at Van- derbilt University,and other promi-nent citizens.

HOW MEMBERS WERE PRODDED The General Counsel For the Nation- al Association of Manufacturers Gives Details.§ Washington Dispatch,6th. From the files of the National As- sociation of Manufacturers today came the details of legislative activi- ties of the widest range,extending from the home districts_of members of Congress throughout ‘the country to the White House and the capitol. While the Senate lobby investigators pursued their probe by jan examina- tion.6f former Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio,the House commit- tee got-under way and placed in the record 100 letters from the files of James A.Emery,chief counsel for the ‘National Association of Manufactur- ers. From attempts to influence the se- lection of the labor and judiciary com- mittees of the House,the discussions of the possibility of coupling legisla- tion with.the tariff bill at the present session of Congress;from conversa- tion with Majority Leader Underwood of the House to letters and telegrams to Presidents Wilson and Taft,the correspondence covered every field of public policy and legislative practice. Frankly and quietly,Emery,on the stand,acknowledged that he had rec- ommended a contribution of $500 to oppose Representative Buchanan of Illinois,for re-election,and told of personal interviews with leaders ane members of Congress in his attempts to influence the naming of committees or to prevent the enactment of legisla- tion urged by organized labor.The correspondence suggested a_bitter feud between the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers and the Ameri- can Federation of Labor in an at- tempt to secure control of the legis- lative agencies of the government, (On the witness stand next day Emery told how the members were prodder.If a Congressman didn’t vote to please the association,the member of the association in his dis- trict was notified and through his efforts protests of voters in the dis- trict were written and wired the mem ber,this being one of the methods of influencing him.)oe) Peace in the Balkan States at Last— An Agreement Reached.. A dispatch from Bucharest says peace was concluded©Wednesday night between the Balkan States and the preliminary treaty was to have been signed yesterday by the delegates of Servia,Greece,Montenegro,Ru- mania and Bulgaria.The agreement was arrived at only after another ex- hibition of the utter helplessness of the discussions in thethreatenedtobe-Wednesday peace conference i’ | come interminable but M.Majoresco,| the Rumanian premier and president of the conference,clinched matters by threatening that unless Bulgaria accepted the modified frontier pro- posed by the allies,Rumania’s army would occupy Sofia.Saturday.This threat had the desired effect and an agreement was arrived at.The agreement as to the division of terri- tory is a sore disappointment to Bul- garia,which has hope of an eventual revision by the powers. The war between the former Bal- kan allies who had fought shoulder to shoulder against Turkey began on July 1.On that date the Servian minister of the interior declared that Servia was at war with Bulgaria.On the.same day Greece also announc- ed that a state of war existed.Ru- mania declared war on July 10 and moved her troops over the Bulgarian frontier.The trouble between thealliesatosefromthedifficultyofdi-viding the territery captured by them from Turkey. Severe,fighting followed and many thousand men were killed or wound- ed._Soon after the beginning of hos- tilities numerous massacres and acts of pillage were reported to have been committed by the numerous #rmies. The Montenegrin troops nevet cameintoactionduringtheperiod,of hos- tilities although they also were nomi- nally at war with Bulgaria. Robbers Handcuffed Postal Clerks and .Robbed Car. The mail car of the fast Louisville and Nashville train No.4,from New Orleans,was robbed Tuesday night between Calera and Birmingham,Ala., by unknown white men.All of the registered mail was taken.The train reached Birmingham on time,at 8:37 p.m.,and two of the mail clerks, George Hoover and E.G.York,were found handcuffed so that the trons had to be filed from their wrists, while Chief Clerk Harry Everett had his thumbs securely tied together with heavy twine. The robbers boarded the mail car at Calera,on the dark side,hfter the train had begun to move.The clerks state that they were immediately covered with pistols and ordered to turn their faces to the wall.Everett looked around once and was fired up- on,the bullet striking the corner of the car near his head.The robbers jumped from the train as it reached Birmingham. Lippitt Charged Discrimination. Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island aroused Democratic leaders of the Senate to spirited replies Wednesday when,discussing the cotton schedule, he charged that it discriminated against New England in favor of theSouthandthatitwashaphazardlyprepared. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia ve- hemently denied the charge of section-alism,declaring that the appeais of the Southern manufacturers for in- creases wert unheeded by the financecommittee.He called attention tothefactthatthesubcommitteewhichconsideredthecottonschedulewascomposedofSenatorJohnsonofMaine,Senator Hughes of New Jer- sey and himself.Senator Stone ofMissouri,referring to Senator Lip-pitt as a cotton manufacturer,re-marked that the time had passed whenrepresentativesoftheinterestscould.write the tariff laws. SOME OF THE NEW LAWS. Information of General Interest Com- piled By a Magistrate. J.W.Cobb,Esq.,of Charlotteis a: magistrate who,seems to have the unusual idea that a magistrate should know something about the law.Any- way ’Squire Cobb has been,pouring over the public laws of 1913 and has culled the following information of general interest,which he gave the Charlotte News for publication: Sec,834 of the Revisal makes it a misdemeanor for any wagoner or other persons camping in open air to leave the camp without totally ex- tinguishing the camp fire.This is amended by Legislature of 1913 to in- clude hunters who shall set fire to any tree,stump or other combustible matter and.leave without totally ex- tinguishing such fire.A fine of $50.

How the Civil Service Will Be Work- ed Charlotte Observer. To administer the complicated pro visions of the income tax section of the Underwood-Simmons tariff law several hundred new agents,deputy collectors and inspectors,will be re-quired.The sum of $1,200,000 hasbeenrecggymendedthereforhythe Democratic Senate caucus and the fi- nance committee.Incidentally it is de- signed that these places shall be filled “without compliance with the condi- tions prescribed”in the civil servicelaws,The new employes would hold only fortwo years after appointmentunlessgiven.a longer lease ‘of official lifo ..Their service is -“tem*orary..’ This may without ¢ynicism be de- seribed as a technical term of politico- governmental life indicating the pur- pose.to gather the appointees in- cluded under it into the civil ser- vice fold.That is to say,before the two years expired Congress would be due to assume that the employes,pos- sessed of valuable experience,should receive recognition as public ser- vants exempt from removal except for just cause.So into the civil ser- vice they would all go in a bunch— as well nigh unanimously Democrats as they would be Republicans if.the trick were being worked by the ex- perienced hands of our Republican friends.The Democratic Senate cau- cus and the finance committee are unable to claim the slightest original- ity for this plan. A Telephone Case in Which Plaintiff Won and Lost. At.Kinston the telephone company decided to collect rents in advance. Dr.C.B,Woodley refused to pay and his ’phone was removed.He applied to the courts for relief and Judge Oliver Allen held the telephone com- pany in error in withholding from the plaintiff its service upon the plaintiff tendering payment for all indebted- ness tothe company,and ordered Dr. Woodley’s telephone replaced upon his complying with this condition.But the court also ordered Dr.Wood- ley to give a bond to indemnify the company against loss by the plain- tiff’s failure to pay rents for the ‘phone at the end of each mpnth.

A notable increase in the use of aluminum during the past year in the United States,due to the many new uses to which the metal is put,is stimulating private corporations to ee large sums of money in devel- oping bauxite ore mines in New York, Pennsylvania,Illinois,North Caroli- na,Tennessee and other States,ac- cording to a report made by the Unit- ed States Geologicat Survey.More than 65,000,000 pounds of aluminum were consumed during 1912 as com- pared with 46,125,000 pounds consum- ed during the year 1911.The domes- tic development of bauxite ore,from which aluminum is derived,«during 1912 was valued at $786,932 as com- pared with a much smaller amount during the preceding year,but even this increase failed to satisfy the de- mand and left open a great margin for imported bauxite and aluminum. The imports.of the ore and the fin-ished metal were r@tqrd-breaking dur* ing 1922. The manufacture of new aluminum products includes long distance power transmission wires,household ware and cooking utensils,powdered metalforpaintpigment,lithographing and manufacture of explosives.Aluminum foil for wrapping tobacco and candy is replacing tinfoil and because of its non -corrosive qualities,alumihum metal is being used in the construc-| tion of tanks,cooking vats and !ves- sels used in breweries,preserve man-|industries |ufactories and similar where heat conduction and non -cor- rosion are essential. Three Postoffice “Appoint ments to Re-| main Open For a Season. Washington Dispatch to Raleigh Times. No further action will be taken in the casé of John T.Oliver of Reids- ville,J.R.Swann of Marshall,Madi- gon county,or G.H.Russell of Lurin- burg,whose appointments as post- masters are being held up by Sena- tor Simmons,until some time in Sep- tember.These three men have been recommended for appointment by the respective Congressmen,but the eases have gone no further,as Sena- tor Simmonsadvised the Postoffice Department that the appointments, for the present,were objectionable to him.j Hundreds of letters have been written to Washington in regard to these appointments and —several friends ofthe disappointed —candi- dates have made personal visits in their behalf,To all these inquiries Senator Simmons has replied that he is too busy with the tariff to give the matter,of postmasters his attention just at this time,but that he will go thoroughly into the matter when he gets the necessary time.It is quite clear that the Senator will not go into these matters before the tariff bill is entirely out of the way and that will not be until some time in September, so that there is little-chance of any- thing.being “done in the postoffiice matters“until that time.

Mr.Amos.D.Kestler was found dead near his home about three mileswest,of town,Saturday night about9:30,.Death resulted from heart dis-ease and is supposed to have occurredabout6o’clock.;Mr.Kestler was examined by hisphysician,Dr.H.F.Long,about’a month ago and was found to besuffer-ing from organic heart trouble,Hisfamilywasadvisedatthetimethathisdeathwaslikelytooccuratany time.He was able to go about,im-proved under treatment and Saturday was apparently much better than usual.The only children at homewiththeirparentswereMr.Dick Kestier and Miss.Nem Kestler.Sat-urday the former came to town and ‘was detained here by the storm.Hissisterwascalledtothehomeofa neighbor and prevented from return- ,ing by the storm.Just before the storm came up Mr.Kestler took a cow that was tied near me house to the barn.About that time a peal of thunder noted the coming of the storm.Mr.Kestler nad been watch- ed closely by his family since his condition was known and not allowed to go anywhere alone.There were other cattle in a pasture nearby anditissupposedhethoughthecould drive these up before the storm came. Doubtless he hurried and exerted him- self and this brought on the fatal at- tack of heart disease. Meantime at the house Mrs.Kestler awaited anxiously hyr husband’s re- turn,supposing that he had gone no farther than the barn.The rain pour- ed and the wind blew furiously.Hop- ing that he had taken refuge in the barn and that this was the cause of his delay,the anxious wife waited on, but finally braved the storm and went to the barn.Not finding her husband her fears increased.About 9 o’clock when the wind had ceased,Mrs. Kestler started through the woods in the darkness and rain,the constant flashes of lightning alone enabling her to:find her way,to the home of acoloredtenantontheplace.The tenant and his family were away,the house vacant.Mrs.Kestler strug-gled on to get to the Bostian home,amileormorefromherhome,and when near there met the colored man. In a few moments sne met her son,Mr.Dick Kesticr,returning fromtown.He teok his mother in thebuggyandwentonhome.Mr.Bos-tian wak called and followed.Mr. Kestler left his mother in the house and went alone to the pose field, where he found the dead body of his father.The dead man was lying onhisfaceandhadevidentlypassed away without a struggle.Neighlors gathered and carried the body home, bot it was not until next morning that the news of his death became known,the telephone line having been »ut out of commission by the storm. t was at first thought that Mr.Kest- ler might have been killed by light- ning,but examination Dy a physician disclosed that death resulted from heart disease. Amos D.Kestler was 72 years-old. The son of John Kestler,he was born and reared at the old Kestler home- stead,which stood near the KestlermillplaceonThirdcreek,about two miles south of Statesville.He was prepared for college in Statesville,intheschoolofCapt.Andrews,and had entered the University of Virginia just befdre the outbronk of the war.

The three absent sons were noti- fied by wire and reached here in time for the funeral,which took place-at the First Associate Reformed Pres- byterian church yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock.The interment was in Oakwood cemetery.The funeral ser- vice was conducted by Rev.8S.W.Haddon,pastor of Pressly Memorialchurch,assisted by Rev.W.M.Walsh.

It may be that Washington street car men are noted for discourtesy,or there may be other reasons for these frequent disturbances.It ig not im- possible that certain members of Con-gress are s0 impressed with their own importance that they are always looking for an act of discourtesy.Maybe they think the street car con- ductors should receive them with un- covered heads and make the common herd stand aside until they are seat- ed;or possibly they are trying to work up a sentiment that will re- sult in giving every member of Con- gress an automobile and chauffeur at SS expense for personal useWaghinetan,Ret«-*-*-*= ‘cause,the frequénty with which Con- gxressmen engage in street rows in Washington is not creditable to the Congressmen,If they have a real grievance they should go to head- quarters and if protest there is un- availing they should make their pow- er felt as law-makers for the Dis- trict.

BIG SHORTAGE IN CORN CROP. Damage During July Reduces Esti- mates—Wheat Crop Unusually Large But Potato Crop Short. A loss of 300,000,000 bushels of corn,the nation’s greatest farm crop, has resulted from the great damage wrought by drought and other condi- tions since July 1,is estimated by the government’s agricultural experts in their August crop report...A total production of 2,672,000,000 bushels of corn was predicted.This is 452,000,- 000 bushels less than last year’s crop. The general condition of corn wasplacedat75.8 per cept of a normal compared with 86.9 per cent on July 1.Kansas was Hit hardest,the condi- tion there having been reduced from81percentinJulyto30percenton August 1.Oklahoma came next with a condition of 44 against 87 in July, and Nebraska reported 67 against 91 July 1.These three States have al- most 19 per cent of the total area planted to corn this year.| A bright spot in the monthly grain report,however,was the preliminarystatisticsshowingaproductionof 511,600,000 bushels of winter wheat. This is the greatest harvest of wheat gathered in the United States,exceed- ing the record crop of 1902 by 19,- 000,000 bushels,The figures exceed by 28,000,000 bushels the estimatemadebythedepartmentinJuly. Spring wheat,too,was,given an in- creased estimate of production,it be- ing 15,000,000 bushels more than the July estimate,the total being placed at 233,000,000 bushels.With the bumper winter wheat crop and a fairly good spring wheat production, the total production of all wheat is estimated at 744,000,000 bushels.A crop.this size would place the year’sproductionsecondonlytotherecord crop of 1901,when 748,000,000 bush- ela were produced. The harvest of white potatoes,is is estimated,will be smaller by 000,000 bushels than the crop of 1912, A total of 339,000,000 bushels is es- meted:- Anterican ‘Aviators Meet Qeath in Foreign Lands.

TUESDAY,--August 12,1913, A Washington dispatch says Secre- tary Daniels is taking steps to eradi- cate snobbishness in the navy.The Secretary has a job on his hands,for there is good reason to believe that there is snobbishness aplenty in the navy.But here’s hoping the Secre- tary will succeed in bringing the snobs down a peg or two. The Landmark gives the county commissioners of the State a cordial welcome to Statesville and Iredell. We have a progressive county to show them,a county of whose prog- ress we are proud,and model and progressive towns as well,We trust that their stay among us will be pleasant and profitable. The indications are.that the meet- ing in Raleigh today to pass on the offer of freight rate reduction made by the railroads will result in dis- agreement.There are many con- flicting interests and the fear is that the interests in the different sec- tions cannot reconcile their differ- ences.What suits one doesn’t suit another.It will of course please the railroads if the people demanding the reduction go to scrapping among themselves. A photograph of a woman,publish- ed in the daily papers,is labelled: “Characteristic pose of Mrs.Stuyves- tant Fish,at whose ball $12,000,000 of gems were worn.”If the photo- graph is a faithful portrait of Mrs. Fish she should try some other pose, for the picture shows about as unat- tractive looking woman as The Land- mark has laid eyes on in many moons—one that all the gems in the world wouldn’t make attractive.If the picture libels Mrs.Fish she has good ground for mental anguish dam- age suits. C.W.Worth of Wilmington has ad- vised Washington that he is still in the race for the position of consul gen- eral to Shanghai,China.Senator Overman has asked Secretary Bry- an to appoint Philip Henry of Ashe- ville to a place in the diplomatic ser- vice.Mr.Underwood of Fayetteville wants to be consul general to Can- ada.North Carolina has already re- ceived some recognition in the diplo- matic service and a place has been promised Mr.Whitehead Kluttz of Salisbury.Considering these facts, some of the applicants for consul- ships will hardly make port. West Virginia has been the theater of feuds,widespread labor troubles, legislative scandals,etc.,and the bal- ance of the country has probablybeendisposedtoMokupontheState as a somewhat tough settlement.The Charlotte News calls the attention of those who have so regarded it to the prompt conviction of five members of the West’Virginia Legislature, charged with bribery,who have been sentenced to the penitentiary.The point is well taken.There have been legislative scandals in many States.but few legislaters have beensent.to State prison.Glory to West Virginia! Presidgnt Wilson has appointed Madison R.Smith,ex-member if Con- gress from’Missouri,minister to Hayti to succeed Henry W.Furness,a negro.A Washington dispatch says there is general satisfaction among Southern Senators and Representa- tives on account of the appointment; that they feel it is the result of in- sistent efforts being made by the Democratic Senators and Representa- tives to eliminate the negro from high official positions.The Land- mark had thought this was one job that belonged to a negro.Hayti is a negro country and why any white man would want to go there and live among the negroes is a matter for speculation;but there is no ac- counting for taste.ene According to the evidence H.Clay Grubb met his just deserts when he was shot dead by his wife.A man of reputed wealth,he attained con- siderable prominence as a citizen be- cause of his wealth.He is said to have had some good traits—was Zenerous and public-spirited.But he had also the meanest of all traits— the habit of getting drunk and abus- ing his wife and children.He had, it seems,been at thts for years,and Wis conduct was most brutal.At last the patient wife,goaded to-des- peration by fear for her own life and the lives of her children,shot her hus- band dead and was exonerated,as she should have been.The World is bet- ter for the passing of a man of the -Grubb type.No man who mistreats his family can be wiodel citizen enough away from home to make upforit.‘ The Franklin Times tells of a re- markable state of affairs in:the town of Louisburg.The report of the town treasurer showed a balance of $65,- 000..But the town had no money. A.$5,000 note that fell due could not be paid;town employes had to dis- count pay checks ang money had to be borrowed to pay freight.When an explanation was demanded the mayor said the treasurer had loaned the’town’s money to friends,who had promised to return it when called for,but had not q@one so;and the Times says it is reported that the money was loaned to some of the town commissioners.Now isn’t that a dandy way to conduct the public’s business?The public money loaned to private individuals and public debts unpaid.Evidently something is rotten in the town of Louisburg and an immediate reformation _is needed.

The first of the great Roman roads was from Rome to Capua,a distance of 142 Italian miles,and was begun by Appius Claudius about 312 B.C. It was known as the Appian Way or “Queen of Roads.”This road,was later extended to Brundisium,a to-tal of 360 miles,and was proba- bly ‘completed by Julius Caesar. About 220 B.C.the Flaminian Way was built,It crossed the Nar river on a stone bridge which had a cen-tral span of 150 feet with a rise of 100 feet.When Rome reached the height of her glory,under the reign of Augustus,no less than 29 great military roads radiated from the city. These roads extended to every part of the vast empire and are estimated to have had a total length of 50,000 miles. The Roman construction was in general extremely massive.The Ap- pian Way is said to have been in good repair 800 years after it was built. On a carefully prepared subgrade were placed four successive courses of layers,the statumen or foundation course,the rudus or second course, the nucleus or third course and the pavimentum or wearing surface.The top and bottom courses consisted in general of large flat stones,while the two intervenina courses were built of smaller stone or other suitable mate- rial laid in lime mortar.With the fall of the Roman Empire the roads were neglected and gradu- ally fell into decay,so that today but little more than a trace remains of these splendid achievements. Science of Governing Men Has Fal- len Behind. State Journal. Physical science stood almost still for more than a thousand years,while learned men spent their time theo- rizing about what might happen if certain things were done.Then came along a man who experimented,who tried the thing,and from that day to this—from Bacon to Edison—phys- ical science has progressed by such strides as surpass the wildest fancy; always failing until success came, but always trying something.And the reason the science of government has fallen so far behind all other sciences is the mortal dread that most men seem to have of trying anything new in government.Naturally the men who profit by the existing order want nochange,and these by playing on the fears of the ignorant and filling, temporarily,the stomachs of those who hunger,succeed.iv holding gov~ ernment in the old ruts,making some richer anid’a multitude poorer thantheyoughttobe.Cet-us try some other way.If it does not work,then we can change back,or try still an- other way.Let us apply the same principles to the building of society that we apply to the building of ev- erything else.We have gone a greatwayalongtheroadindicatedinthis prophecy;let us stop and try to find another and a better way before we reach the spoilation state.In NorthCarolinaletustakeourfirststepbyadoptingtheproposedamend- ments to our fundamental law as em- bodied in our constitution.

Washington Herald. The removal of the duty on meats has become an economic necessity. The supply here is getting so scant and so high-priced that contributions from the surplus of other countriesshouldbewelcomed.Our population is growing at the rate of about 20 per cent a decade,but our stock of food animals is declining.The De- partment of Agriculture estimates that in the last six years the num- ber of beef cattle m the United States has fallen from 51,566,000 to 36,000,000,Protective duties and a steady increase in values have not stopped the decline,because the con- ditions under which cattle were rais- ed cheaply and freely on Western ranges have passed away. The United States will have to make the most of the resources of countries like Argentina,Uruguay, Paraguay and Australia,where the country is still open.Anything that the government can do to turn these resources our way will be appreciat- ed.It is therefore extremelypleasingtonotethattheDepartment of Agriculture has sent agents to Argentina and Australia to report up- on the facilities there for furnishing this country with the much-needed fresh meat,thus showing its appre- ciation of a new opportunity for its usefulness. imposition of a tax on sey bale}.

THE LANDTUESDAY,--August 12,1913. THE CATAWBA CREAMERY. A Co-operative Enterprise That HasSucceededAdmirably. Cc,C.W.,in Progressive Farmer. There has been so much said and so much written recently about co-oper- ative enterprises and so many theo-ries advanced—some of them,by theway,conflicting theories—that it is apleasuretorunacrossaco-operativeenterprisethatisreallyandtrulyasuccess.A few days ago while in Hickoryitwasmypleasuretovisitthe“‘Ca- tawba County Creamery,”and whileIhadheardmuchofthisenterprise and knew in a wey something of itswork,I was not prepared for what Isawonmytourofinspectionthrough the plant. rtv was in charge of the secretary of the company,Mr.W.J. Shuford,who has done so much tobringsuccesstotheconcernthrough his tireless energy and never-failing optimism,and though we plied.him with questions galore he was everreadytorespondwiththedesiredin-formation.We could not refrain from quoting silently over and over again the oft-repeated statement of Presi-dent Barrett of the National Farm- ers’Union,that “It is an easy mattertomakeabusinessgoifyoucanonly secure the right kind of a man to place in charge.”.The Catawba County Creamery has solved the prob- lem.: I want to give Progressive Farmer readers a few facts relative to the work of this enterprise in the hopethatatleastsomecommunitymay “evo and do likewise.” To begin with the history of thismovementisnotunlikethatofmany others in that it began in agitation resulting from a decline in prices, caused by a congested market.This agitation resulted in securing the services of J.A.Conover,then a dairy agent with the North Carolina State Department of Agriculture.This enterprise was primarily estab- lished as an experiment,but its phe- nomenal success has demonstrated that a co-operative creamery can be operated in this portson of the State. It has been the means of bringing te the farmers and dairymen a much higher price for their products than they had been able to get heretofore. This company was organized three years ago,the recerpts for the first year being about $13,000.During the past year this business has grown to approximately $52,000 or $1,000 a week.This includes sales of eggs also,as the company is now handling these,having bought and sold in the last 12 months more than 75,000 dozen eggs.For these they have paid an average price of 21 cents per doz- en.During this period approximate- ly 100,000 pounds of butter has been made.The price paid the farmers for their butter-fat averaged last year 30 cents per pound,It is claim- ed that about one-sixth more butter can be made from the same amount of milk than can be produced in the ordinary way.This company hasplacedaseparatorwithmostoftheir patrons and they are now placing them on the installment plan,thus utting them within reach of every armer who wishes to.patronize the creamery.“At first two or three far-mers in the same community would buy one separator but it soon be- came plain that each patron shouldownhisownmachine,so the old plan was ‘recently discontinued. The compary is nuw operating six routes,two of which extend into Caldwell county,two in Alexander, and the other two in Catawba coun- ty exclusively.These routes are es- tablished in this way:Some man is found with a horse and wagon who is willing to take a route on the com- mission plan (these routes usuallybeingsomethinglike20or25miles in length)and when the patronage ~|will justify it,this man is put on a salary.I saw one of these wagons coming in late in the afternoon load- ed with eggs and cream.This man, I was told,-was soon to be put on a salary.I was told that it was the in-tention of the company to take ‘ia. chickens just’as soon as arrangereritsferhandlingthemcouldbemade:_was shown over tht riew brick building which is nearing completion and which was hoped would be ready for occupancy by the first of August.The business of the cream- ery has grown 80 rapidly that it be- came evident a few months Since that more ample quarters should be provided.This building will be equip- ped with alt the modern conveniences, electric lights,steam heat,water, etc.A nice rest-room will be fitted up,where the farmers,their wives and daughters,when they come totownmaydropintoreadthemorn-ing papers,write letters,and make themselves at home generally.I was told that on some of the routes the Farmers’Union people would gather up the eggs and bring them to somepointontheroutewherethedrivercouldtakethemupwithoutlossof time.This enterprise hae saved the peo- ple of Catawba and adjoining coun-ties thotisands of dollars and has givy-en besides,employment to quite anumberofpeople.Let me_say, though,that the path of this enter-prise has not been altogether one ofpleasantnessandpeace.The want of the cohesive power among the av-erage farmers had to be reckonedwithandonmorethanoneoccasionthefutureoftheenterpriselooked,to say the least,very uncertain,butthankstotheindomitablecourage and grim determination behind it,theaoedisappearedandtodayaswelookbackuponits:history the.oldadagecomestoourmind,“Nothingsucceedslikesuccess.”In conclusion,let me say that whatthis.community has done,dozens,yea scores,of communities all overNorthCarolinaandtheSouthcando.All that is needed is “agitation,edu-catiog,co-operation,”a few men who a little money and lots of patience,determination anda little of that sav-ing aly éalled optimism.ay the day soon come when,in-stead of distrust among that vast ar- RK|" have a little confidence in their kind). 1y of those who till the soil,”weshallfindconfidenceinmananda wait for results,Then and not till into his own. He Loved His Sheep. Monroe Enquirer. This is not a sheep-raising section,but one man in.this county raisedsheepforyearsandyears,in spite ofsheep-killing dogs and other draw-backs and when he died owned a flockofonehundredormore,The late Mr,Thomas J.Ashcraft,of .Marshvilletownship,died a little over two yearsago,aged 83 years.When he was a very small boy,not over eight or nineyearsold,Mr.Ashcraft’s grandmoth- er gave him a lamb which had lost itsmotherbydeath.The little boy was delighted with his gift,petted it,fed it until it would eat no more and un- der the care of its little master,grewintoalarge,fine sheep.The care be- stowed upon that lamb made the lit- tle owner of the pet a great lover of sheep,and from the day that the little lamb was given to him until he died he was a sheep owner,and he raised thousands of them during the three quarters of a century he was engag- ed in sheep-raising.And a remarkable thing about his flock was that Mr. Ashcraft was never without descend- ants of the little lamb given him in his boyhood,and when he died thereweresheepinhisflockwhosepedi- gree could be traced back in unbroken line to the little lamb he petted in his boyhood days.In his old age,when secona childhood came upon;jhim and|—— he bore the weight of his four scor-years,the old man loved his sheep and:the last work of his hands was caring for them,and in the distribu- tion of his effects he turned his sheep over to the care of his young grandsons. Excursionist Walked Into Well. Morganton Messenger. John Butter,the colored porter at Hotel Morgan,had an experience Fri- day night that he will not soon forget. John had returned on the excursion from Norfolk that day and had not fully recovered from the effects of same.He was on his way home in the Jonesboro section about dark. There is an old well near the road and as John was somewhat unsteady on his legs,he found the well,which is about 20 feet deep,and remained in the same about four hours—until some of his friends who were passing heard distress signals.He was res- cued,somewhat disfigured,but not seriously hurt.

A TRIED AND PROVED GUARAN-LE. Man Bought a Bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone,Then Took It Back and Asked for His Money and Got It. A man recently tried out the guar- antee which the Statesville Drug Co. gives with every bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone.He bought a bottle and then went back to the drug store and said the medicine hadn't helped him. This druggist just reached into his eash register and took out a half dol- lar,the price of the bottle of Liver Tone,and handed it back to the gen- tleman.But he didn’t take the mon- ty.\He owned up that he was just trying:the guarantee,and,as a mat- ter of fact,he had found Dodson’s Liver Tone the best remedy for con-stipation and biliousness he*had ev- er tried.“Why,”he said,“my wife wouldn’t be “without a bottle in the ease for anything.It’s.the best ing in the world for the whole faim-ily,and the medicirt that I prefer to take or to give to my children for a lazy liver.”;ze eo P The Statesville Drug Co.sell Dod- son’s.Liver Tone and guarantees it to start the liver without violence.It is taking the place of calomel every- where.If you buy a bottle and don’t find this pleasant-tasting vegetableliquidthebestthingtostartalazy liver,he will hand your money back with a smile.'

THE PARCEL POST TO EXPAND. Will Be Cheaper Than Express RatesonHeavyPackages. Washington Dispatch,6th, Congressman David J.Lewis,ofMaryland,“father of the parcelspost,”commenting today.upon thedeepcutsinexpressratesorderedbytheInter-State Commerce Commis-sion,made the significant announce-ment that it will not be long beforethePostofficeDepartmentwillmakeanotherextensionintheparcelpostservice,which will remove the ex-press monopoly as a competitor ofthepostalserviceinthesmallpack-age transportation business.Mr.Lewis added that when Post-master General Burleson completeshisprogrammefortheenlargementoftheparcelposttheonlyratesinthenewexpressschedulesthatwillbecheaperthantheparcelpostratesthePostofficDepartmentcanintro-duce,will be a few charges on 100~-pound packages traveling 1,000 milesormore.In analyzing the express rates andtheireffectupontheparcelpostMr.Lewis said:“The express companies declarethattheycannothandlea’small ship-ment for less than 25 cents.Theyhaveprovedthisstatement.They. only make 2 cents profit on average shipmerts of 33 pounds with an ay-erage charge of 51 cents.At the same time the Postoffice Departmentismakingatleast1centandprob-ably 2 cents on one-pound shipments for 5 cents. “The express companies on a 25- cent shipment pay 12 cents to the railroads for,say,a haul of 150 milesunderthepresentcontract,by whichtherailroadsget50percentofeach express charge collected.This leaves13centsfortheexpresscompanies for colleétion and-delivery,which calls for a costly system of a dozen or more handlings.Eleven of these handlings are replaced in the Post- office Department by the postage stamp.On the shtpment of fivepoundsthenewpostalratewillbe 9 cents for 150 miles,of which the railroads get 3 cents,as against 12 cents it collects from the express companies.The government’s sys- tem of collection and distribution is less than one-third of the expresscompanies.“The new express rates will not take from the parcel post one pack- age under 20 pounds for 150-mile dis- tances when the new parcel post rates are inaugurated.Oa longer distan- ces the present parcel post rates aresohighastobeprohibitiveforpackagesoverthreeorfourpounds and for such the new express rates will be lower than the postal rates. When the Postmaster General appliesanewratesystemtothemoredis- tant zones he will get that business, because the Postoffice Department is a genius for doing small things cheaply.s “Of course,the Postmaster General is not going to stop at 20-pound weight limit.He has stated he means to go 100 ponds,and it is equally certain he will rationalize the rates for longer distances to the point of a slight profit over the cost of service.” Mr.Lewis predicved that the ex- press companies will get séme of the freight business from the railroads on large shipments for distant points. He said the coast-to-coast express rates for 100 pounds have been reduc- ed from $12 to $8.The first-class freight rate for those distances is $3.- 70. “It can be seen,”said the Mary- lander,“that it will be cheaper to ship by express 25 pounds,which wouldcost$2,than to send it by first-class freight at the 100-pound minimum rate of $3.70.Reduction of |rates for long distances will,doubtless, have the effect of offsetting the loss of revenue on other traffic.” 2 bis Joweie4)and I aboutclothes hi The philosophy of clothes has lots to do with the philosophy of life.Clothes philosophy teaches one WHY to DRESS WELL.In a few words it is this: “Look good,you'll feel good;you'll make good.”’ You will be bound to SEE,each week,the ‘‘Mr.Good Dresser’’Clothes draw- ing which Mr.R-F.Outcault,the famous New York artist,will make for us.Also READ our advertisements.They will teach you how to LIVE,how to DRESS,how to PROSPER—and WHERE to buy your clothes.

Farmer Can Fix Price of CottonWhenHeOwnstheCotton—HeDesn’t Own It As Long as He Makes the Crop on Credit. Progressive Farmer. In the Progressive Farmer office the other day Prof.D.N.Barrowmadeastatementaboutthecontrolofcottonpricesthatigworthpassingon.This is what he said;“The farmer will be able to fix the price of his cotton when he ownsitandnotbefore.The farmer is notanexceptiontothegeneralrulethat @ man cannot control the price of athingwhichdoesnotbelong.to.him.” All the argument in the world can- not get away from this simple prop- osition.The cotton crop of the South when made does not belong to the men who made it,but to thelandlord,the storekeeper.the bank- er,who furnished them the money tomakeitwith.These men want their money,the cotton grower has to raise it for them,and has just one ‘way to get it—that is to sell his cot-ton, Of course,under such conditions, some one else fixes the price of cot- ton;and not until the conditions are changed will the farmer have muc “say”in the matter. It is good to know that the condi- tions are being changed,that more and more farmers are coming really to own the crops they make;but there is yet much progress to be made before any sort of organization or financing plan can enable the farmers,as a class,to hold for a fair price.The first thing in the fight for better cotton prices is to do away with the old practice of letting cot- ton growers live all summer long on the expectation of a crop yet to be made.The share cropper,with everything furnished him and a mort- gage laid on the cotton he is going to make,must be converted into a wage hand,or given a chance to do real farming and release himself from the economic slavery of his present candition.The land-owning farmer who buys fertilizers and rworkstock and machinery and corn and hay and groceries and clothes,alltobepaidforwhencottonissold, must be changed into a self-support- ing farmer who grows more of what he needs and owns more of what heproduces. Here is where the work of fixing cotton prices must begin;and any such work is necessarily slow.It is ratifying to know,however,that every farmer can do something at it this very year.He can at least make sure that he will have home-grown hay and feed and home-raised meat to eat next winter;and these two things will put him far along the road to economic freedom.'It must be remembered,too,that every man who puts his farming on a self-sus- taining basis,not only helps himself, but also adds to the strength of the farmers who already own their cot- ton and hastens the day when there will be enough such farmers to takeofthecropsproducedbythedeé-péndent class.

PRATT AND BICKETT SPEAK. Represented in the State Meeting of County Com- missionera in Statesville ‘This Week—Addresses By Dr.Pratt and. Attorney General Bickett—Visitors Given a Ride Over Iredell Roads and a Barbecue Yesterday and a Luncheon Last Night—Proceedings Of the Meeting. With perwere and 70 delegates in attendance,the opening session 0 the State Association of County Com- missioners was called to order in Ire- dell Superior Court room Wednesday noon by the association president,Mr. D.McEachern of Wilmington.In addition to the commissioners there were a goodly number of local people assembled in the court room,which was decorated with flags and banners, a huge banner bearing “Welcome to Iredell,the county which does things,”being most conspicuous in the decorations.Following the op- ening prayer by Rev.W.M.Walsh, the visitors were most heartily wel- comed to Statesville and Iredell by those chosen for these honors,Hon. W.D.Turner presenting the speak- ers.Mayor L.C.Caldwell spoke words of welcome in behalf of the city of Statesville,Mr.Z.V.Tur- lington of Mooresville extended the county's greetings,Mr.R.T.Weath- erman welcomed in behalf of the Merchants’Association,and Mr.B.R. Clark in behalf of the Commercial! club,all the addresses being brief. Mr.T.J.Armstrong of Lender coun- ty and Dr.W.G.Bradshaw of Guil- ford county responded to the words of welcome,expressing their apprecia- tion in both humorous and serious veins.Dr.Bradshaw said he was aware that Statesville and Iredell are doing their part in the great progress being made by North Car- olina,and excepting just one,he was willing to admit that Statesville is “the best town in North Carolina,” and that if she stays in the race she might possibly.win first place. On behalf of the entertainment committee,Mr.G.E.French told the visitors that they would find free cigars and fountain drinks at the drug stores of the town and free ad- mittance to the Crescent moving pic- ture theater and urged all to take advantages of these courtesies,and to be sure and take the automobile ride over er roads ane ge the barbecue and banquet to intheifhonor.When Mr.French con-cluded a motion that Mr.N.B.Mills of Statesville,former chairman of the Tredell board,be made an honorary member of the association,was quick- ly carried,the motion having been made by Mr.Armstrong of Pender. Mr.Mills thanked the association for the honor. Booklets entitled,“Some Reasons Why Statesville is the Best Town -_in North Carolina,”containing a con- densed statement of interesting facts about Statesville and the county,had been prepared and were distributed among the visitors;and at the lun-jed cheon last night the menu card,ar- ranged in souvenir style,contained abriefstatementoffactsaboutthe county and the towns of Statesville and Mooresville.Proceeding to business the _presi- dent called for the report of the leg- islative committee appoint at last year’s meeting of the association.Dr. Bradshaw of Guilford,chairman of “the committee,and the committee’s st a g e R a . a eea etrf od ee = 2 s "e Pre “Good Public Roads”by Dr.Joseph BoC.Beckwith of Ral-that in accordance with“adapted.by .the,asse-ciati4.,.ssv year,the committee pré= red -a bill authorizing the use of State convicts on the public’roads and had the bill introduced into the Legislature by Hon.R.A.Doughton;that the bill passed its several read- ings in both houses of the Legisla- ture and was ordered ratified,butforsomereasonunknowntothecom-mittee it was recalled from the en- rolling room the day before the Gen- eral Assembly adjourned.When thebillfailedtoappearintheprintedactsMr.Beckwith hunted it up andfoundtheword“recalled”stampedontheoriginal.

Dr.Pratt’s Address.The feature of the afternoon ses-sion was an excellent address on attorney,‘Mr. Hyde Pratt,State geologist,who dis- cussed every phase of road improve- «ment,giving the.commissioners muchvaluableinformation.After express-‘ing his belief:that the State Asso- ciation of nty Commissioners is_probably the ‘most important of all the associations in the State,and de-claring that it can do more for theadvancementoftheStatethananyotherassociation,Dr.Pratt.express-‘ed the hope that there would be -yet solved by any means.of toads greater co-operation among the var-ious tounties and greater uniformityofmethodsleadingtowardthebet-terment of the whole State.My sub-|d‘ject,said he,is a very live one.TheproblemofgoodpublicroadsisnotTheneedisandthebeneficialre-sults from them are now admitted byallbatthequestion*s how to’raiseuetobuildgoodroads,and howandmaintainthem.Nobesatisfieduntileverycountyisse<e good roads.Some have already donethisandtheirquestionismainten-ance.It has been foand that no road is really:permanent,the only thing about the road that is permanentbe-ing its location,and for this reason the road should by alf means be prop-erly located.The idea once prevail- ed that macadam road was something permanent,but we have found différ-ently.No matter how well a roadisbuiltitmustbewatchedupand kept in repair.There are few sec- tions which can afford the better f|grade of roads constructed of tar,asphalt and macadam preparationsandthesearereallynotsatisfactoryconsideringthecost.The one road that does givé satisfaction is thesand-clay or gravel road.This is theoneroadthatcanbekeptgood365daysintheyearatlittlecost.»Thecostofsand-clay roads in North Car- olina has ranged from $300 to $1,-800 per mile according to the amount of grading to be done and the distance the sand or dressing must be hauled.These roads can be main- tained and kept in good condition byrunningdragsoverthemaftereach heavy rain and repairing the holes with the same kind of soil used in constructing the road,at a cost of not more than $30 per mile per year, while $100 per mile per year is alowestimateforthecostofmain- tenance of a macadam road.If the traffic over the road ever justifies putting down the tar or asphalt pre- parations,the sand-clay makes a fine foundation.All country roads should have a 40-foot right-of-way and the road should be built not less than 24 feet wide with sand-clay or top-soil in the center not less than 9 feet wide and eight inches deep.Farm- ers should not be aflowed to culti- wate the fields along the roads all the way out to the road thus allowing the water to drain rrom their fitlds into the roads. To properly maintain its roads Dr.Pratt said a county should have a right to govern all traffic on its roads and he wants this power be-stowed on the county commissiners. After a system of good roads has been built in a county the use of wide-tire wagons should be forced on those hauling over the roads,especially in the case of heavy lumber wagons. The question of wide-tire wagons is to be discussed at a meeting called to beheldinWashingtonforthatpurposeandaneffortwillbemadetohaveallwagonmanufacturerspresentatthisconference.The State now reg-lates automobilés and there is no reason why counties should not have the authority to regulate all other public road traffic.The State law making 25 miles an hour the auto- mobile speed limit should be enfore- ed,because when a machine runs over 22 miles an hour the suction from the tires is very detrimental to the road.The automobile loosens the road bed and then the narrow-tire wagons come along and grind up the loose soil or gravel.In France a wagon must have a tire in width ac- cording to the weight of loads haal- The need,of an efficient road en- gineer in every county in the State Was stressed by Dr.Pratt.It will be found,he declared,that the coun- ties which have gotten best results as.to the location,construction and maintenance of road#are those who have employed engineers who know how to build roads.A look over theroadsofthesecountieswillconvince any one.And if you want to get best results give the engineer authority to go ahead and Build the roads as hesees-best,regardless of the location,vit.,v@eréd’by otrfers.“Hire a man who knows how and let him locate the road where it will be best for the road,for the location is the one thing that should be permanent.The peo-ple of North Carolina are now much interested in the unjust freight rates that have been charged in North Car- olina.We should also stop and think about the rate we have been paying the public roads.By the employment of good engineers and the building and maintaining of good roads,we can reduce,the cost of hauling from 25 cents per ton per mile to 8 cents. Dr.Pratt approved the action of the North Carolina Good Roads As- sociation in advocating a State High- way Commission and the working of State convicts on the public roads,The State Highway Commission billaspresented,he said,would give en- gineering assistance to counties not able to employ regular engineers andwouldworkStateconvictsonthe highways without interfering in anywaywiththeconvictsownedand worked by the individual counties. The best way a convict can pay his debt to the State,said he,is to work on the public road,and the State canspendmoneyinnobetterwaythan in giving engineering assistance to the counties desiring to locate and build godd roads.The adoption ofmethodsthatwouldincreasethe‘effi- ciency of convict forces worked on the roads by the counties was advocated, The convicts should be so trained andcaredforthattheywill"be bettercitizenswhentheyregaintheirliber-ty than they were when they began their terms.Various questions about roads ask- ed Dr.Pratt bythe commissionerswereansweredatthecloseofhisad-ress.When Dr.Pratt concluded Presi-dent McEachern suggested that thematterofusingconvictsonthepub-lic roads be taken up again and aresolutionwasadoptedcontinuingthesamelegislativecommitteeap- inted last year.The committee wasinstructedtoinvestigatethefailure of the bill ptesented.to the last Gen- wit) ga eR * ed sage of this same bill at the coming special session of the Legislature. Mr.Bickett Talks on Taxation. The feature of yesterday’s sessions of the association was a masteaddressontaxationbyHon,T.We:Bickett,Attorney General of North Carolina,who is probably better in-formed on that subject than any oth-er citizen of the State.Surely there ett in his eloquent discussion,andthe terest in what he said. In beginning Mr.Bickett said that derful vision,wrote that “these are they who came up out of great trib- ulation,”he was sure that he refer- red to county commissioners.The county commissioner is as surely born to trouble as the sparks fly up-ward,his office being attended with a maximum of worry and a minimumofpay.No matter what the trouble in a county,it is blamed on the com- missioners.The commissioners con stitute a standing committee of ways and means.Year arter year theStaterequiresmoreandmoreoftheadvaloremtaxtocarryonthework of the State,and if this course con- tinues the commissioners can only run the counties by taking a post- graduate course under the man who wrote the book on how to live on no- thing a year.The office of county commissioner is the tmost important in the county.The commissionersaresaddledwithtremendousrespon-sibilities which must be met under heavy handicap.If in the office of commissioner there be ignorance or vice,waste or weakness,the whole county government is paralyzed,The best of men should be elected to this office and they should receive reasori- able compensation.fivery chairmanshouldbeonadecentsalaryand should be required to be in his office not less than one day each week,and in the larwer counties he should be there every day in the year.One manshouldgivehistimetothestudyof his county government. But as has been intimated,contin-ued the speaker,I am to speak to you on taxation.We can’t escape this subject,but it is one no manlikestotackle.It must be solved.

THE LANDMARK FRIDAY,~--August 16,1913. . SOMEWHAT SENSITIVE—BRINGS CHARGES AGAINST IREDELL. .The following appeared in a recent Sssue of The Landmark: vidson county has long had the repu- he being «very wet tangy The yeport his been common for years a oad per cent of the citizenship,including many well-to-do,their votes at every election if they could find buyers;and it has been a common report that the jury box as well as the ballot box,was corrupted in Davidson.The report seems to be verified by what took place in Davidson Superior court this week.When Stent was ar- yaigned in a homicide case counsel for the prosecution moved that jurors be wamnmoned from another count:recent act of the Legislature permitting this—-and in support ‘of the motion read affidavits from prominent citézens stating that 25 to $0 per cent of the citizens.whose names are in the jury box bought and sold at elections.Coun- sel for the defense did not resist themotion and it was granted.But isn’t that an aw- ful arraignment of.the citizenship of a county? Take notice that The Landmark simply recited what has been common report about Davidson county,which seems to be verified by the action of the citizens who made affidavit that “95 to 80 per cent of the citizens whose names are in the ot box could be bought and sold at e ections.”The Thomasville Davidsonian,however,18 ‘somewhat perturbef and delivers itself as follows:. “There is no denial that the above motion was made,nor is there any denial that Davidson county has within her borders a few corrupt men who have sold and debauched the bal- lot..We admit this and confess with| blushi shame that.our record is not what it ought to he.But what about.the ‘More Holier\Than Thovw’ state of Iredell,the city of States- ville,if you please,the home of The Landmark,the city of purity,virtue and clean politics .The city from whence were traveling two ‘favorite sons’representing the political arena of Iredell and the two said sons did talk. “And behold this,the substance of their remarks!‘Why don’t you fel- lows carry Davidson solidly.We -take charge of things in Jredell and carry them as we want them carried.We go out into the factory districts and get the superintendents’to give their men to understand how they shall vote and they generally vote as we say vote.’Behold the glass house, Brother Clark,and beware of stones while living therein!” If The Landmark had said or in- timated that Davidson is the only county in the State in which there was corruption in politics;or had said or intimated that Statesville and Iredell ig the home of virtue and purity in politics,it would be dis- turbed by the Davidsonion’s remarks. But as it did not say or intimate these things it is not in the least flus- trated.This paper did not even say that Davidson was worse than other counties,but it is going to say that now,for unless Davidson citizens maligh-their own county Daviddon is one of the worst,if not the worst,in the State.Citizens of Davidson coun- ty,of both political parties,have in years past told the editor of this pa- per that it was common in Davidson county for well-to-do citizens,men who own farms and are independent financially,to hawk their votes for sale at elections and to sell to the highest bidder.This has been common talk for years from the lips of David- son’s own citizens;and it has been a matter of common knowledge for years that whichever side put up the most money could carry Davidson county.If these things are not true _the blame is not with The Landmark. Worse than the corruption of the ballot box,although a:natural se- quence,is the corruption of the jury box.For years it has been openly charged—and seemingly..the charge rested on good foundation—that Davidson county juries are corrupt. Recently there was an acquittal in a murder case in Davidson which was severely arraigned by the Lexington Dispatch,that paper practicachargedthattheacgaittalwasdue to <Oftujiibn;and 96 Wick.“>ohcr _maurder .case comes to trial it is ‘asked that a jury be summoned from another county,not Because the citizens were biased or had formed and expressed,an.opmion,as might be‘the case in ‘any county,but be- ¢ause 25 to 30 per cent of the citi- zens whose names were in the juryboxwerepurchasable—which state- ment was sworn to by citizens ofDavidsoncounty.It was this state of facts that caused The Landmark to say,“Isn’t that an awful arraignmentofacitizenshipofacounty.”ThesefactsarecitednottoholdupDavid- son county as a horrible example,but to show that The Landmark's state- ment,which irritated the Davidson-jan,was a very mild one.Now as to the charge against Ire-dell.There is some corruption in litices in Iredell.The Landmark s never pretended there is not andhashadsomethingtosayaboutit in the past.There is no wholesale corruption.There isn’t so much open buying and selling of votes in partycontestsintheprimariesandatthe elections;but there is considerable indirect buying and selling,a most specious if not insidious form of cor- ruption;and altogether the situation is serious enough to demand the at- tention of the thoughtful.We havenoideathatIredell1sanyworse’inthisrespectthanthegreatmajority of the counties in the State,not nears0badasmanyaadnottobenamedinthesamebreathwithcountieslikeDavidson,but that is no excuse forusandisnotcitedasanexcuse.It is a fact,as all observant citizensknow,that the practice of traffickingimvotesisgrowinginIredellandthat year by year the number of men whocanbeinfluencedbysomeconsidera- tion is growing.Unless this tenden-ey is checked;unless the opponentsofcorruptionexertthemselvestohaveitstampedout;unluss good citizens(or those who think they are goodee)cease to wink at it,how long will it be,think you,until IredellbelikeDavidson?Some of thepeapleintheStatearetobeigaoDeecounty.But lit- e by little custom 0 ingtheelectorategrownoatthecorrupticbeshemelane brazen and open.And remember,the corruption won't stop at buying votes. It will permeate all avenues.of.civic life and will invade the courts,as it has done in Davidson.:* We are not questioning the state- ments made by the Davidsonian,quot- ing from gentlemen who told how they run Iredell.We have no doubt the statement is correct and we are not apologizing for it,On the con- trary we thank the Davidsonian for this opportunity to call attention to our shortcomings in Iredell.We have no wholesale corruption of voters in we are traveling the road that leads to ity and if our present methods are not changed time is all that will be necessary to land us in Davidson’s class. COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS “Train strikes.Jittle tot.”-—Head- line in Greensboro News.It is a common expression,but inasmuch as a tot is anything small the word “Jit-tle’could with propriety have been omitted.f *._*» A test case of the Webb law,whichprohibitstheshipmentofliquorinto a State where such shipment is pro- hibited by law,is to be made in Kan-sas.A Federal court in that Statehasheldthelawunconstitutional,the decision being based on the theorythatCongresshadnorighttodele- gate to the States authority over in- ter-State commerce.In all probability the case will be appealed to the high er courts. o ** Senator John Sharp’Williams ofMississippichargedintheSenatea few days ago that there was an or- ganized attempt in this country to bring on war with Mexico for com- mercial purposes;and President Wil- son has made a similar charge.These eminent gentlemen of course have reason to believe what they say is true,and it is’more than probable they are right.Many individuals would profit if the country should go to war and many i:dividuals are so wholly selfish that they would bring about what would profit them,re- girdless of the great loss entailed on the country as a whole. o e e The Charlotte banks are in posi- tion to handle the business of this section without asking for any of the Treasury loan,and they are in posi- tion to put up the security for any amount of money they might want to ask for from the government.A happy condition either way it isviewed,—Charlotte Observer. A happy condition,truly.Never- theless the Charlotte bankers seem willing to relieve the government of some of its cash,as it is stated in the local news columns of the Observer of Tuesday that Chartotte banks had asked for approximately $700,000 and it was expected the amount would be increased to $800,000.If they don’t need the money they~should leave it for localities where the banks are not so flush. *&& “A few minutes after drinking a glass of coca-cola fk.K.Blats,lino- type operator on the Evening Dis- patch,was taken with an attack of acute indigestion while operating his machine and died an hour later.” So runs a news item sent out from Wilmington.The Landmark happens to know a Statesville man who,sev- eral years ago,when coca-cola was first coming into popularity as a drink,drank the stuff on’occasion and rather liked it.One day hedrankaglassofthedopeandwith- in an hour he thought he was going to die with indigestion or something of that sort.The attack so alarmed him that he cut out the coca-cola then and there,basn’t tasted it ‘since and the only way you could get him to taste it Would be to “hog-tie”him and pour the staff down his throat. He couldn’t say positively that the coca-cola was in any way responsible for the attack which so alarmed him, but he thought it was and the effect was the same.The item about the Wilmington man suggests this:story, ah >% A poetic.>.“een circulated in Bakersville,Mitchell county,to abol- ish the charter of the town.The Bakersville Kronicle says thingsaboutthemoversoftheproposition that are calculated,if not intended, to bring on a breach of the peace. While the Kronicle feels outraged about the movement to abolish the corporation,it says that Bakersville is nothing but a “dirty little snotty- nosed town,”or words to that effect (The Landmark is quoting from mem- ory,but argues that the lack ofprogressisduetothepeople who head such retrograde move- ments as that for abolishing the town charter.It seems that the people who would abolish the cor- poration of Bakersville feel that they are not getting the worth of the mon-ey expended for municipal taxes,anditisveryprobablethatthegrievanceiswellfounded.But the retrograde movement is a serious error,WhatthecitizensofBakersvillewanttodo is to “get a move on,”awake fromtheirsleepandimproveand:heautify the town;add more taxes if necessaryformodernimprovementsandmakeaplacethatwillattract’rather thanrepeloutsiders.That is what theKroniclewantsofcourseanditiswhatBakersvillemusthaveunlessitiscontenttoremainsimplyabloton the map.P.S.A report from BakersvillesaysthatwhentheKronicleappearedtherewasmuchexcitementandsomeofthecitizenswhofavoredabolish-ing the corporation lined up outside the Kronicle office but did not go in-side.This report,which is publishedintheAshevilleCitizen,says the ed- itor,D.W.Crawford,has ‘plenty offriendsinMitchellcountyamongtheprogressiveelementandthatitwill not be an easy matter to run him outoftown,as some have threatened.

FRIDAY,August 15,1913. Mr.A.W.McLean of Lumberton, who has been placed in the race for Governor by his friends,told the Charlotte Observer this week that the matter is too far in the future for serious thought;that the people are interested now \in national politics; that we ought to lay aside other in- terests and uphold the hands ‘of President Wilson so.that Democratic rule in the nation may be perpetu- ated, The Cleveland Star.protests that the custom of grooms paying the preacher whatever they choose,or nothing,for performing a marriage ceremony should be changed.It knows of a Cleveland county minis- ter who performed 23 marriage cer- emonies,for which he received $18, an average of about 78 cents each, ‘The fellow who isn’t willing to pay a reasonable fee to get married should be ‘denied the privilege.The preach- ers don’t put marriages on the com- mercial basis,but they should be re- membered on such occasions. AeATETESTE + Editor Poe of the Progressive Farmer says he will not “under any circumstances consider”entering the contest for the Democratic nomina- tion for Governor,his name having been mentioned in that connection. ‘The greatest work in the State now, says Mr.Poe,is not political but the upbuilding of our agriculture and the development of a greater rural civ- ilization,and to this work he is de- voted.Mr.Poe is wise.He is doing a greater work for the people of the State than he could possibly do as Governor and his usefulness should not be impaired by dragging him into politics. The contention in the Democratic caucus of the House of Congress, which is considering a currency bill, is for a provision which would give the farmer money based on ,ware- house receipts for corn,cotten and wheat.The objection to this is the fluctuating prices for these products and speculation.President Wilson has issued a statement committing himself to rural credit legislation at the next session of Congress,He holds that the matter cannot be adequately handled in the present bill and that separate and distinct ma- chinery for the handling of rural credits should be established. The failure of the railroads and State authorities to agree on the freight rate adjustment is to be re- gretted.Gov.Craig is still hopeful that an agreement can be reached before the convening of the extra session of the Legislature,Septem- tember 24,and it is propable that an- other conference will be held prior to that time.It is to be hoped that an agreement can be reached without calling on the Legislature to act,but unless a satisfactory adjustment can he made the Assembly will be called on to take charge of the*situation. The extra session lasts but 20 days andyehort oll of thepetime will be “needed to discuss the ‘constitutional amendments which are to b esubmit- ted to the people.The freight rate problem is of first importance and if it is passed tothe Legislature about all the time may be consumed in pass- ing on it.It is,however,a problem that must be settled and should be Settled at the earliest possible mo-ment. The impeachment proceedings against Gov.Sulzer,Democrat,of New York,are attracting the atten- tion of the country.Sulzer served several terms in Congress and was elected Governor lest year.After he became Governor he refused to do the bidding of Tammany and the Tammany politicians set out to de- stroy him.Various charges were brought against him,some of them evidently a frame-up.But in the im- peachment proceedings they appear, on the face of the evidence,“to have the goods”on the Governor.It is charged in brief that he used mon- ey contributed to his campaign fund to.speculate and that he did not ac- count for this money in his sworn statement of campaign expenditures; and that he used his power as Gov- ernor to block the investigation of the charges against him by the legis- lative committee.Tammany is so unspeakably bad that The .Land- mark’s sympathy has been with Gov. Sulzer as against Tammany..The Tammany crowd is not actuated by virtue;they simply want to destroy a man who would not do their bid- ding.-lf -Sulzer:had -obeyed -Tam- many no charges would have been brought against him.But no matterwhatmotiveinspiredTammany,if7Governorisguiltyheshouldsuf- er. =|Came from all parts of the State anditisgratifyingtoknowthatthey enjoyed their stay with us.They were delighted with the Iredell roads and with our county and town gen- erally,and it was a pleasure to have them. Thevisitors aR ET RTS the address of Attorney.General Bickett on.taxation,as reported in this paper today.The subject of tax. ation is ever present with us and is especially interesting just now be- cause of the effort being raade to amend the constitution so as to ef- fect a reform in taxation.Mr.Bick- ett has made a careful study of the subject of taxation and what he says is worthy of attention. O.L.Joyner,a progressive farmer of Pitt county,shipped a car Joad of lambs to Richmond a few days ago. The Landmark has told of the ship- ment of several car,loads of.lambs from Watauga county,but the ship- ment from the eastern section seems to be a new industry.Farmers who are growing lambs for market are not only supplying an urgent and pressing demand for.meat,but we trust that the industry will become profitable,in which event it will be- come of proportions that will of ne- cessity add impetus to the demand for legislation to suppress the worth- less dogs that prey on sheep and other things.With any sort of a fair showing the sheep and cattle in- dustry should become immense and profitable in North Carolina. Killing folks is about the common- est pastime of the day,and while we talk much we do little by way of preventing such slaugntering of men. Is it not about time that we serious- ly attempt to suppress the revolver? —Salisbury Post. Killing folks has ecome uncom- monly common in North Carolina. Read the news colmuns of The Land- mark of Tuesday and today and note the number of homicides in the State within a week.It is not surprising, seeing that punishment for taking hu- man life is so light.It is rare that there is conviction for murder in the first degree and very rare that the prison sentences exceed 10 or 12 years.They will not average that, and the man sent to prison rarely serves his term.The mufderously-in- clined have little to fear in North Carolina.aes eevnemareaacimeinimeneanennimicnemirietanenneines .That is a rank scandal developed in connection with the management of the Mississippi State prison,but it is gratifying to see that the Governor has gone after the guilty parties with such vigor that eight of them are now under sentence of imprison- ment;and itis more gratifying to note that guilty members of the board of trustees are being punished along with the petty officials.The great difficulty in managing State institu- tions and other institutions and cor- porations,public and private,is that it is too often assumed that every- thing is all right and allowed to go without examination.Constant watch and examination is required, for if the underlings find that those above them are not watchful the dis- honest will begin to graft.Some- times people whe are kept straight by oversight are made grafters by neg- lect.

Developments.in New York (im- peachment proceedings against Gov. Sulzer),serve as a reminder that sev- en Governors have been impeached iff this country.This information,with many interesting details,was assem-bled by Roger Foster,in his “Com-mentaries on the Constitution of theUnitedStates.”Of this number twowereremoved—David Butler of Ne-braska and William H.Holden of this State.The Sun is authority for the atatement that the first American Governor to be accused in any pro-ceeding analogous to the present daimpeachmentwasGovernorSet Sothell,of the colony of North Car- olina,who was suspended by the pro-prietors of the colony in a letter dat-ed December 2,1689,on charges made by the inhabitants of the county ofAlbemarleandapprovedbytheAs- sembly.One charge was that he hadseizedandimprisonedtwopersons coming into the county from Barba- dos with proper credentials on thepretencethattheywerepirates.OneofthemdiedinprisonandtheGov-ernor took his property and convert- ed it to his own use.Other charges of withdrawing for a money consid- eration accusations against personschargedwithfelonyandtreasonand of unlawfully seizing land and cattle also were made against him.The Sun thus tells the story of theHoldenimpeachment:“One of most interesting impeachment cases’ historically was that of Governor William W.Holden of North Caroli- na,in December,1870.The Ku Klux Klan had committed a number of whippings and murders in Alamance and Caswell counties and the local authorities had taken no action.Gov- ernor Holden,under act of the Leg- islature,declared the two counties to be in a state of insurrection and sent militia to enforce order.The officer in command,Col.George W.Kirk,ar- rested and imprisoned many civilians and refused to obey writs of habeas corpus obtained from the Chief Jus- tice of the State on behalf of some of these military prisoners. “Chief Justice Pearson held:that the writ of habeas corpus could be suspended only by the Legislature, which had not authorized the suspen- sion,but at the same time in an opin- ion dwelt upon the seriousness of the situation and the mevitability of more civil war if the writ were to be enforced by the county authorities against the State authorities,and di- rected that the writ be sent to the Governor.‘If the Governor does not honor it,’he said,‘I have discharged my duty;the power of the judiciary exhausted and the responsibility must rest on the executive.’ “Governor Holden replied to the Chief Justice,giving his reasons for his action and maintaining his posi- tion. “The opponents of the Governor thereupon obtained an injunction re- straining the State Treasurer and the paymaster from paying out money for the prosecution of military oper- ations in the two counties.Governor Holden removed the paymaster upon whom the injunction was served and appointed another,who got the mon- ey from the treasurer and paid the Impeach- is troops. “The Governor was impeached and tried.He was acquitted of any mis- conduct in declaring the two counties in insurrection and in taking milita- ry possession of them,but was con- victed on charwes of causing unlawful arrests,bringing troops in from an- other State and violating the writ of habeas corpus.He was removed and disqualified from holding office again under the State.” PRAYER NO GOOD FOR RAIN, Bill Jones Was a Good Man But His Prayers Couldn't Bring Rain. Greensboro News, The late Rev.John Monroe,a min- fster of the old school,who held thepastorateofSpringHillBaptist church for 65 years,gained an ag:,way ages’Soslt «onlig4 inion ds ete rately seen.There were few things that they did not consider him capa- ble of accomplishing and in his pow- er in prayer they had implicit faith. It is said that in times gf drought when Preacher Monroe called a’meet- ing to pray for rain,no matter how brazen the sky people took their um- brellas along. On one occasion when Monroe was a very old man an unusually prolong- ed dry spell struck the country. Springs were failing,streams were running dry and the crops were burn- ing up in the fields,So when the aged clergyman issued the long-expected call for a day of fasting and prayer to be followed by a meeting at the church to pray for rain,there was joy through all the countryside,butnowheremorethaninthebreastofa certain farmer who aiso owned a wa-ter mill which had not turned a wheelformonthsforlackofwater. But.when the day came and thepeoplegatheredattnechurchitwas only to learn that the old pastor had been taken sick and a younger man was to fill the vacaricy.This preacher,contrary to the practice of Monroe,who always did the prayinghimself,called upon a deacon whomwemaycaliBillJones,since that isnothisname,to make the prayer for rain.After the service.was con-cluded as the congregation was pass- ing out,some one heard the miller muttering discontentedly to himself.“What's the matter?”the bystand- er said.“Don’t you think we dre go- ing to get the rain?” “Naw,”exploded the miller,dis- gustedly,“I was afraid it was all offwhenPreacherMonroecouldn’t come, but I did hope that Preacher Price would do the prayine himself..ButwhenhecalledonBillJonesIknew it was all busted up,for I tell you now,folks,though Bill Jones is a good man and all thar,Bill Jones just naturally can’t fetch rain!”j Mr.J.W.Bailey,the new.inter- nal revenue collector for the eastern district,will take charge of his.of- Carolina the| ~CLEAN-UP SALE——_—_—_:Summer Parasols!

National Rural Banking System Pro- A national rural banking system isproposedinabillintroducedbySen- ator Fletcher of Florida,chairman of the American commission on rur-al credits and also of the Federalcommissiononruralcreditsappoint- ed by the President. The bill proposes a system of local national rural banks owned and oper- ated by farmers;a State nationalruralbankineachStatetobeowned and controlled by the local banks as stockholders,and the national rural bank of the United States,to be locat- ed in Washington,to be owned entire- ly by the State rural banks.To supervise the proposed chain of banks there would c created in the Treasury Department a division ofruralbankingunderthedirectionof a “rural banking board”to consist of the Secretaries of the Treasury, Agriculture and Labor.The division would be under the immediate direc- tion of a “director of rural banking” chosen by the President. The main purpose of the banks would be to furnish funds to farmers on long farm bonds er notes secured by liens on farms at not exceeding 60 sr cent of their assessed values. ans would be secured first by a lo- cal bank,then by a State bank and Jast by the~national rural bank of the United States,and they would run from 20 to 50 years.The nation- al rural bank “is designed to have acapitalandsurplus«xceeding $100,- 000,000,while the st ck of éach local bank would be limited to $2,000,000.

The fight of so-called “insurgent” Democrats to broaden the power of farmers and cotton raisers to use warehouse receipts as security for credit with the proposed Federal re- serve banks,dominated Tuesday's caucus.Representatives Neeley of Kansas,Wingo of Arkansas,and Eagle of Texas,all advocates of the proposed extension of agricultural credits,held the floor throughout the day with frequent ‘interruptions by Representative Glass and other sup- porters of the administration meas- ure.The “insurgent”forces claimed to have strengthened their position.

Reductions Offered By the RailroadsInsufficientandUnfair—Case Will Go to the Legislature—FreightRateAssociationAdoptsu- tions. Raleigh Dispatch,12th,to Charlotte Observer.; The proposal of the railroad com- panies doing inter-State freight busi- ness in North Carolina,submitted through the corporation commission to Governor Craig for settling the dif- ferences between the shippers of thisStateandrailroadsbecauseofexces- sive rates to North Carolina pointscomparedwithVirginiacities,1s Tre-jected by the Governor as a result oftheconferenceheretodayinwhich the Governor,the legislative freight rate commission,the corporation ¢om-~mission,and the council of State par- ticipated.The general impression isthattherewil]be no further negoti- ations of consequence until the Legis-lature meets September 24.In a significant speech closing theconference,Governor Craig saiwasgratifiedattheunanimityin theconferenceonthepropositionthattheproposalshouldnotbeaccepted.It isalsoafact,to which the Governordidnotallude,that there were the widest sort of differences as to what. sort of an adjustment would be ac-ceptable..John C.Forester of Greensboro in the closing moments of the confer- ence declared that there is no wis-dom in a “multitude of counselors” on freight rates,that somebodytotakethesituationinhand,fix itandthenlookthepeopleoftheStateinthefaceandsay“we didthebestwecould.”Nobody could fixasealeofratésthatwouldsatisfy everybody. E.J.Justice of th» commission made the _significant statement that “no doubt the rail- roads will regret that the State hasjurisdictionoveranumberofthings.”The final afternoon session of theconferencewasalongandspiritedone.In declaring the final adjourn- ment,Governor Crarg said it was amatterofcongratulationthatsub-stantial reductions have been offered. He reviewed the negotiations since the last Legislatute,congratulated theGeneralAssemblyonhavingboldlyundertakentosecurerelief,and saidthatthecorporationcommissionin securine and working out this pro- posal has performed for,the State a patriotic service,doing the very best it could. He said the people want peace and he wants peace,but just reductionshavenotbeenoffered.The railroads are perfecting greater service for Virginia cities for a far less ratethanexactedfromNorthCarolina points for a far less service—this,too, under the terms of the proposal re- jected.He quoted instances he worked out applying to all sections of the State.e felt that it would be. wrong to accept the proposal. He subscribed to the “long and short-haul doctrine,”but he could not subscribe to the contention that lower rates could not be accorded to the border points in this State.Hedeclaredthatifthereductionspro-posed would save the people of the State $1,000,000 on freights,he was sure that really just reductions would save $5,000,000,and he could but fight for entire justice. He wanted it understood that he was willing to meet the railroads inaspiritofcompromyseandendorses rates not so low as those given Vir ginia cities,but that they must be something near to it.He noticed that the terms of the proposal sugyested that in the event of rejection there should be another conference with the officers of the railroads.He was willing to meet them and would be in Raleigfh for the purpose and ‘sin-cerely wished for an adjustment sat-isfactory to the people. The Governor said he disliked to disagree with J.Allen Taylor and the Wilmington delegation that whatever legislative that the port rates will have to set- tle the interior rates.If interiorpointsdrepacifiednowwiththeseconcessions,there can be no develop-ment of sentiment for relief of thepaeenwaterpointslike,Wilming-n. He urged interior business men to recognize the fact that water alone can adjust the rate troubles.Pro- cure a gateway for North Carolina ‘through a substantial boat line to Wilmington and inter-State rate re- ductions to build this traffic up,andtheratedifficultieswillbesolved.He asserted that the carriers knew the proposal would not be accepted,butsubmittedittocreatedivisionamongshippersintheState..Mr.Justice said he did not intend to excite the mind of Mr.Taylor and believed Wilmington would be a greatport,but that the present freightwouldstagnatethere.He believed Wilmington would have Norfolk rates but for a combination between the Clyde Line steamers and the rail-roads.He thought Wilmington ought to enjoy what its water entitled it to. A meeting of ‘the Just |FreightRateAssociation‘was held in the fore- noon,at which 22 counties were rep- resented.There was much speaking and much disagreement among the speakers from the various sections. Chief Justicé Clark,who was pres- ent and was called on for remarks, said the offer of the railroads was “a gratuitous insult.”The Wilming- ton people were particularly stronginthei®objections because conces- sions had not been granted Wilming-ton and Hickory people were wroth because the rates applying to Statesville do not apply to points west of Statesville.Mr.Mitchell of Hickory offered a resolution criti-cising the corporation commission but subsequently withdrew it.After many criticisms of the rates offered by the railroad the association passed a resolution recommending that the rate be rejected as “incomplete,in- sufficient and does not do justice toalltheshippersofNorth,Carolina.” Reaffirming a purpose to stand to- gether and fight for the cause of just freight rates,the efforts of Gov. Craig,the legislative freight rate commission and others are commend- ed,and it was decided that ten mem- bers of the association shall be ap- pointed as a conference committee,to act for the association and co-operate with the Governor and others in the effort to secure adjustment.In the event adjustment is not secured by September 24 the General Assembly is asked “to enact such laws as will give justice in this matter.” LONG STANDING QUARREL. Resulted in Death of a Prominent Buncombe Physician. The killing of Dr.W.J.Clontz,a prominent citizen and physician,at Alexander,Buncombe county,Mon- day,by A.M.West,a rural)mail car- rier,was the result,the Asheville Citizen hears,of a quarrel extending over a period of four years,which is exc to have had its origin in domes- tic trouble.Says the Citizen: Less than five minutes before the killing West was in the postoffice,talking to W.R.Tillery,the post- Master at Alexander.At the sametimeDr.Clontz was sitting on the porch of Clontz &Buckner’s store,in which he was a partner,and which immediately adjoins Mr.Tillery’s store,in which the postoffice is lo- cated,the two stores having a com- mon front yard. “I'm going down to the depot a minute or two,Bill,”West exclaimedashewalkedoutofthepostoffice. He was speaking to Postmaster Til- lery.He walked out of the postof- fice and at the same time Dr.Clontz, who had been sitting on the porch of the adjoining store,arose and started across the yard.As West reached the top step of the Tillery store he saw Dr.Clontz appreaching and immediately drew his pistol,a sirigle-action old-style Smith &Wes- son 32 caliber.

With Governor Sulzer impeached by the Assembly and the date of his trial before the Senate and the judges of the Court of Appeals fixed for September 18,the spectacle was pre- sented tonight of two men claiming to be Governor of.the State of New York.: ‘As soon as the articles of impeach- ment,adopted at an early hour this morning by the Democratic majority in the Assembly,were presented to the Senate,shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon,Lieut.Gov,Martin H, Glynn announced his intention of oc- cupying the Executive chamber. Friends of Governor Sulzer declar- ed that the Governor intended to con- tinue in office and would use every- thine in his power to maintain his position on the ground that the As- sembly had no constitutional right to consider impeachment at its ex- traordinary session. The articles -of |impeachment against Governor Sulzer,passed by a vote of 79 to 45,make a document of over 4,000 words.They are intro- duced by the formidable heading: “Articles exhibited by the Assem- bly of the State of New York in the name of themselves and of all the people of the State of New York against William Sulzer,Governor of said State,in maintenance of their impeachment against him for wilful and corrupt misconduct in his said office,and fol high crimes and mis- demeanors.” The articles,eight in number, charge the Governor:with violating the penal laws of the State,not only in connection with the filing of an improper and incorrect account of his campaign expenses and campaign contributions to the pur- chase of stocks,but also in connec- tion with his alleged efforts to prevent witnesses from testifying before the Frawley investigating committee.He is also charged with attempting to manipulate the stock market by at- tacks on the exchange. Two Claim Governor's Office. The opponents of Gov.Sulzer of New York claim that the impeach- ment proceedings remove him from office pending the trial,but the Gov- ernor refuses to vacate.Lieut.Gov. Giynn claims the office and the State government is paralyzed. ALYLETSLT Gov.O'Neal Appoints Senator John-ston’s Successor. Gov.O’Neal of Alabama has ap- pointed Congressman Clayton,chair-man of the House judiciary commit- tee,United States Senator to suc- ceed Jos.F.Johnston,deceased. Since the death of Senator John- ston there has been much difference of opinion as to how his successorshouldbeselected.On account oftheslenderDemocraticmajorityintheSenateitisimportantthattheselectionbemadepromptlyandDem-ocratic Senators have taken much in- terest in the case.The seventeenthamendmenttotheFederalconstitu-tion provides for the election of Sen- ators by the people and also says:“When vacanciés happen in the representation of any State in the Senate,the Executive authority of such State shall issue writs of elec-tion to fill such vacancy,providedthattheLegislatureofanyState may empower the Executive thereof to make temporary appointments un-til the people fill the vacancies by election as the Legislature may di- rect.”’ As the Alabama Legislature hasnotauthorizedtheGovernorofthat State to fill vacancies,it was suggest- ed that the Governor call the Legisla- ture in extra session for the purpose. The Governor,however,decided thathehadtheauthoritytoappointuntil an election could be held.The ma-_jorityof-gho Derbocrats in the Sen-a 2 With hi and,Claytonprobably.rejected by the Senate.%Clayton will not resign from the House until he sees what the Senatewilldowithhim.If he goes to the Senate Congressman Webb of North Carolina,w is ‘the ranking Demo-cratic member of the judiciary com- ek will sueceed to the chairman-ship. Senator Hitchcock ContinuesFightonTobacco. Announcing that he intended later to press his amendment to the tariffbill,which would place a graduated income tax on tobacco production, Senator Hitchcock,of Nebraska,who bolted the Democratic party caucusonthetariff,said in the Senate this week that he intended also to dis-cuss the propricty of that caucus in restraining its members from sup- porting his amendment. “I wish to call attention,”the Senator said,“to the restraint and monopoly exercised by a few great manufacturing concerns over the to- bacco production of this country.I propose to show that four great con- eerns divided by the decree of the Su-preme Court,now owned by the same stockholders and operating in close accord,exercise.a greater monopoly in tobacco trade than ever before.” Reading from statistics furnishedbytheSecretaryoftheTreasury,he‘declared that these four concerns manufactured last year 71 3-5 percentofalltobaccomanufactured.intheUnitedStates;that three of these concerns manufactured 98 per cent ofallthesmallcigarsandthreeofthem853-5.per cent of all the cigarettes,“If the American le:are in ear-nest,and I believe they are,”he con-tinued,“they want this.monopolycu:.“If the United States Sen-ate is in earnest,it ought not to per- ‘mit any rule of a party caucus to_Yestrain a Senator from voting for@measurethatwillputa.stop tothisdefianceofajudicialdecreeandrestoreaconditionofcompetitionintheworldintobaccomanufactures.” His diverting |? Aasembly may classify property for the purpose o evying graded or pro- gressive taxes,: In the amendments proposed there is no suggestionof compulsion.They are in no sense mandatory,but are, only permissive in,character.IfadoptedtheGeneralAssemblycan still preserve intact our present sys- tem of taxation.The ‘question is, ought the General ‘ee cloth- ed with the power to classify,to seg- regate and to grade property for purposes of taxation.Some think these principles of taxation are new, but we have them all around’us,’On the man who earns his living selling coal we levy one tax,and on the manwhoearnshislivingsellinglightningrodswe.levy a different and higherlicénsetax.This is.‘classification.The State taxes the man who makes his living practicing law or medi-cine,but does not allow.the coun-ties and towns to do so,This is seg- regation.Again,the man.who inher-its $5,000 pays an inheritance tax at a certain rate,while the man who in- herits $25,000 pays a higher rate. This is graduation.-The pris of classification obtains in all taxes lev-ied by the Federal government and the railroads rightly and necessarilyclassifyfreightfor,purposes of tax- ation.If the railroads should levy the same rate on coal they do jon cot- ton,coal could not move,and jif they levied the same rate on cottan they do on shoes,cotton could not move Thenatureandcharacteroftheproperty must be considered.In its last.ane sis,every tax is an income tax.In fixing ‘the rate regard should be had to the income,actual or potential, which the property will yield,One man gets his income from practicing a trade or profession and another gets his by owning property. Of course in every scheme of,tax- ation it is sound public policy,to make the burdens of taxation \rest most lightly on those who earn a/liv- ing by the exercise of their minds and muscles,and most heavily on those who make a living by:owning property.This because property is of itself of little value until touched by the mind and muscles of man.But the government cannot afford to ap- propriate to itself more than a fair proportion of the income,actual of potential.I say that a government that takes from widows and orphans, 40 per cent of thei:income is prac- ticing the essence ot tyranny and the refinement of cruelty.And this is what the State,counties and towns are compelled to do under the uni- form ad valerem rule of the present constitution.The combined State, county and town taxes in towns in North Carolina of the first class will average not less than $2.40 on the $100,and this is exactly 40 per cent of the income derived from $100 loan- ed at the highest rate allowed by law. In a certain town in this State lives a widow who owns $10,000 which she got from,the insurance on the life of her husband.I lend that money out for this widow at the highest rate allowed by law.The combined State, county and city taxes are $2.65 on the $100,so that at the end of the year,when I pay this widow $600 in interest,she must at once turn over $265 of it to the government.Can this woman raise her boys to be in- tensely patriotic when she feels thatthegovernmentwhichowesherpro- tection is taking bread from the mouths of her children?Such a law is an atrocity.It is such a hated mon- ster that it is not enforced.It’s asunprofitableasitisunjust.Some one has said that nubody pays these taxes but a few ultra-righteous,the widows and orphans,the idiots and lunatics.Experience has taught that it is simply impossible to getsolventcreditsonthetaxbooks wherever the uniform ad _valoremrulé-prevails.The records in .thetreasuryshowthatwegetlesstaxestodayfromsolventcreditsthatwe did before the war.Under the terrific bombardment that is being made against it through-out the country,it,is not to bé won- dered that.the uniform ad valoremruleispassingaway.Atready nineStatespermitclassificationofpr-erty for taxation and “afiandmentsarependinginthreeothers.The Su-yoome Court ef the United States} as repeatedly held that classificationofpropertyforpurposesoftaxationisinnowayobnoxioustotheFederalconstitution.I have recommended totheGovernorofourStatethatincasetheStateandtherailroadsdonotreachanagreementastorates;that the best and only thing to do isto,place the railroads in a special class for taxation and make the ratesohighthatitwillyieldarevenuetotheStateinkeepingwiththatbe- ing paid the railroads by the people of the State.If the railroads are go- ine to charge us a higher rate it is nothing but right that we should charge them a higher rate.j No system of taxation will be jsuc- cessful that does not get the prop-erty on the books,and it is impossible to get intangible property on the books when the tax is more Ahan a fair percentage of the income fromtheproperty.No iquisitorjal board will locate that vast body of wealth in North Carolina known ag intangi-ble securities so long as the people feel that it is being taxed beyond thatwhichitisabletobear.’Impose afairrateandpublicsentimentwill force this property to the surface;Amansimplyhastobeaboutashonest as his neighbors require.The his-tory of every State and of every. country shows that as the rate on intangibles.has increased they have gone into hiding,and as the rate was reduced they have come to the sur- face.Having levied a’reasonable rate on intangibles,the most rigid laws could be enacted)to require the listing of this kind gs?property for taxation.The Legislature could pro- vide that if a man/failed to list a interest,and it could further provide that when the owner of a solventcreditbringsasuitonthesameinourcourts,he must swear that thecredithasbeenlistedfortaxationasrequiredbylaw.|I am profoundly convinced that Senate approved -the tubaccoschedule.a separation of State and local rev-enues will bring/about an era of good ieee5 solvent credit,he Would forfeit.al?

Statesville’s big motor.fire truck,ordered several months ago from theWhiteCompany:of Cleveland,Ohio,arrived in Statesville last week,and at.a special meeting of the board of aldermen yesterday the truck was ac- cepted and the purchase price,$5,452, paid to representatives of the White Company.The election of firemen,whieh had been deferred from lastspringpendingthearrivalofthemo- tor truck,was also held yesterday.Messrs.John Guy,Jr.,and Earl Mo- ser were elected to have charge ofthemotortruck,Mr.Guy having had much experience with motor vehic-les,‘and Fireman J.A.Walker was re-elected for another term.Fireman Burette Walker was not re-elected. This gives the city three paid fire-men instead of two.It is the pur- pose to dispose of one team of thefirehorsesandMr.Walker will con- tinue in charge of the remainingteam. The new motor truck was _thor- oughly tested as to speed and efficien- ey Friday and Saturday by Mr.F.J.DeLaney of the White Company and Mr.Harland,representing James Boyd &Bro.,who manufacture the air pressure chemical system with which the truck is equipped,and the truck attracted much attention on the streets.The real fire test which took place Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock was witnessed by a great crowd.A house about ten feet square was built on the Wilkesboro road near the Statesville Air Line railway crossing.The house was fill- ed »th strips of lumber and excel- sior over which was poured ten gal- lons of oil.The motor truck was .taken to the depot and when the sig- nal-was given by telephone from thedepotthematchwasappliedtothe excelsior in the,house.In just two minutes and 25 seconds from the time the signal was given to apply the match,the truck had made the run of a mile and a quarter and ex- tinguished the fire with chemicals.

RUN OVER BY A MOTOR,CAR. A Young Man Run Over By Mr.J.7 Maiden’s Car But Not Seriously urt. Mr.Marvin Bunting,a young man from New Hope township,was runoverandinjuredinStatesvilleSat- urday by an automobile driven «byMr.J,A.Maiden of Harmony neigh- borhood..Mr.Maiden was going west along Broad street and just &shereachedapointinfrontofthestoreofM.P.Alexander &Bro. Mr.Bunting,who had just gotten out of a buggy,walked around behind awagonandstartedacrossthestreetashortdistanceinfrontofthema- chine.My.Maiden.immediately ap- plied his brakes but could not stop the machine before it struck Mr. Bunting.The latter was knocked down and rolled over a time or tw» and one of the wheels of the machine passed over him before it wasbroughttoastop.He was able to rise to his feet immediately and with the aid of persons who hurried to him walked into the store of the Polk Gray Drug Co.,where his injuries were dressed by a pnysician.Aside from a number of painfal bruises and a few slight flesh wounds,he was not badly hurt and was able to leaye the drug store in a short time. Mr.Maiden stated that although he was running slow he did not have time to stop his macnine after Bunt- ing appeared in front of it,Bunting not being seen until he stepped from behind the wagon.While there are some who say the automobile was running fast,an officer and others who were eye-witnesses declare that it could not have been going over six or seven miles-an hour.It is under- stood that Mr.Maiden offered to pay Mr.Bunting’s doctor bill and addi- tional money in settlement of the case,but Bunting flatly refused to ac- cept the offer.His attitude indicated that he had a damage suit in mind. Registrars of Births and Deaths. The last Legislature passed a vi- tal statistics law,providing for the registration of births and deaths.The law became effective July Ist but three months is allowed to get the machinery in operation,so that reg- istration will actually begin October ist.A registrar of births and deaths is appointed for each town and town- ship.The chairman of the county commissioners makes the appoint-ments for the townships in a county and the mayor makes the appotmentforthetowns.So far only oneaehasbeenmadeinIre- dell.Miss Annie Marvin has been appointed registrar for the town of Statesville and Statesville township. Registrars hold office for four years and-receive 25 cents for each birth and death registered.Failure to report a birth or death to the regis- trar is punishable byafine of not less than $5 nor more than $50 and a second offense.may be punished by imprisonment.The law is an impor- tant one and the State health au- thorities will require strict enforce- ment.A law passed some years ago requires a burial certificate in all towns having a population of 500 ormore.

Soil Improvement —Co-operation With Nature. Mr.T.B.Parker,State director of Farmers’Institutes,spoke in the forenoon and again in the after- noon,his principal theme bieng soil improvement.Mr.Parker explained that the Farmers’Institutes as con- ducted by the State each year are not planned purely as pienic oceasions,but are for pleasure combined with profit; they are to teach the farmers how to produce larger crops at less cost and dispose of them at a good profit.The interests of the speakers and their hearers are one,for practically ev- ery man who ever addresses a Farm- ers’Institute is a farmer himself or has had practical experience along the lines upon which he speaks.Ex- perience is worth a great dea)to the farmer and an exchange of views by farmers is helpful.Many gradu- ates of the A.and M.College are as- tonished after they have had a few years’experience at farming to find ust how little they knew when they n,Education simply prepares a to begin to learn.We can notongér,make a profit at farming if the same methods used by our fore-fathers are practiced.We are liv- ing in a new age and must have new conditions on the farms that will en- able us to keep up with the require- ments of the day and enjoy the new advantages.Although the crop pro- duction of*our country is increasing rapidly,the population is increasing much more rapidly and if the farm- ers are to keep up they must make larger erops"at greater profit.It is a delightful fact to know that this can be done.’North Carolina is now mak- ing greater improvement along all lines than probably any other State in the Union.The ‘farmers should adopt the better methods of farming and so increase the productiveness of their land that they may send their children to school and fit them fér the new conditions and requirements. Every boy should be a better man than his father,and a man who does not rear a better son than he has been is a failure.To do this in this day the farmer must make largerprofits,and to make these.leer, profits .the fi¥tmer must co-operate with nature.It is the co-operation of heat,light.and moisture that brings life to seed placed in the soil and makes them grow.. After ascertaining from members,of the audience that there are farm- ers in Iredell.who make over 100 bushels of corn to the acre and over a bale of cotton to the acre,Mr.Par- ker said that he realized that Iredell was above the average in farming op- erations,but he wae sure he could find many farmers who farm landthat_does not produce five bushels ofcornor250poundsofseedcottonto the acre.The difference is in the farmer and the soil All the soil was alike at the beginning,but while one farmer has been co-operating pwith nature and improving his soil, the other has been taking all he could get from the soil without feeding it anything and is gradually impov- erishing it,Change the conditions of the impoverished soif and the pro- ductiveness will be changed.The manwhomakes100bushelsofcorntotheacrehasadeepsoilwithplentyof vegetable matter in it,thus havingplentyofmoistureandplantfood.To bring about this condition soil im-provement crops such as_clovers, peas,vetches,etc.,must be plowedintothesoilandtheproperingre-dients added.In this section all thatneedstobeaddedtothegreenma- nure as a rule,is phosphoric acid.Study your land and find out what it needs.With plenty of organic mat-ter in deeply plowed soil crops grownthereon,will not suffer from droughtbecausethesoilcanstoreenough moisture to carry it through a dry season.5 Economical Crop Production.

E.Huff,a citizen of Yadkin county who formerly lived in Iowa,has de- cided to return to lowa.The Rip- ple reports Mr.Huff as saying “the lack of good roads and other ‘public improvementsaretoo slow forhimand he is going where there is more prog- ress.”The lack of good roads and other public improvements wil drive progressive citizens out of any com» munity and will keep progressive eiti- zens from moving in.Yadkin coun- ty is one of the best farming counties in the State;it is capable of wonder- ful dévelopment and properly devel- oped would be one of the best coun- ties in the State.But the lack of railroad connection,good roads andotherpublicimprovementshasdriv- en citizens from the county by scores every year and depreciated property or kept property at low values.If the State keeps its vontract with the Statesville Air Line Railroad Com- pany and this road gets through Yadkin,it should,and will,we be- lieve,be the beginning of an awak- ening in that county that will result in good roads and other public im- provements that will not only keep Yadkin citizens at home but bring in a desirable population.But Yadkin citizens must know that all depends on their own efforts.If they will arouse and get good roads and other public improvements now,they will have started the ball. *ae a The Greensboro News recalls that Mr.Sternfield,the gentleman who is telling it in Washington that the de- velopment at Whitney will stop if aluminum is put oa the free list, threatened to quit when the House- cut the duty on aluminum from sev~ en to four cents.He later reconsid- ered but was certain he couldn’t sur- vive when the Senate cut the duty from four to two cents.He decided, however,that he might eke out an existence on the two cent duty but is dead certain now that he will be “mint”if aluminum is free listed. All of which"means tnat the fellows who yell ruin are not always clamcr- ing so much for existence as for big profits. “Mecklenburg beats the world on melons,”says the Charlotte Obser- ver,and then it sings a song of praise to the virtues of watermelons grown in Berryhill and Steele Creek town- ships and the cantaloupes grown in Farrelltown,in Mallard Creek.The Landmark believes the Mecklenburg melons are all the Observer says they are and that its claim that they beat the world is well founded,But what we want to know is whether Dr.Kluttz of the Observer has be- come reconciled to the price of the Mecklenburg melons.A year or two ago he wanted to start something when a Mecklenburg farmer asked him a dollar for a melon,notwith- standing Dr.Kluttz admitted the melon was about as big as a sack of flour.

In deference to the wishes of my sons,who are bitterly opposed to my mixing in “dirty politics,’and for other reasons,I herewith announcethatIamnotacandidateforthe State Senate. As there is considerable indirect buying and selling of votes and the practice is growing (see The Land- mark of August 15th),and as I amnot,nor ever have.been,a “buyer of votes,”or used any indirect means toinfluencethevoteofanyman,and not belonging to “the machine”or “ring,”I have decided to withdrawfromthecontest.As the “machine” has “all the wisdom of the serpentandheathenChinee,”and the guile of “the gentleman below,”I fear there is little chance for me,as practically I know nothing of the rotten,muddy ways of the modern politician.HenceIhavedecidedtowithdrawfromthe scramble,hoping that a better man may be able to overthrow the machine and ring that has dominated our dear old county for many years.I am a North Carolinian,an Iredell county boy.There is not a spot upon the soil of this dear old county thatIdonotlovewithallmyheartand soul.I intended to come before the convention or primary—the young men of it—and ask them for some little honor;but I am now convinced that it would be a useless request. Four years of my life were given to the service of my country in that great war for civil Ifberty.I follow- ed the fortunes of Robert E.Lee,all these years.I have never gone back upon what the Democratic party has said nor shall I ever,I hope,so long as I live,which cam only be for a few short years.|am not complain- ing,only at the methods used in this county in elections,or rather in the nomination of candidates in the primaries. And now pardon me for reproduc- ing an article I wrote for the States- ville Sentinel,published July 31st: Do we care for the Confederate soldier?Yes,that is what I mean— da.we care for the Confederate sol- dier?Do we love the Confederate soldier?We love to flaunt him in the eyes of the wortd.We love to plume ourselves on his prowess.We love in imagination to climb with him the slopes of Gettysburg.We love to stand at bay with him in the trepches at Petersburg.We love to stagger with him to the sad finale of the Confederacy at Appomattox.We love to shine by the reflected light of the splendor of his deeds.In short we love ourselves.But do we love him?Let’s see;let’s stop and look squarely at the matter and at our- selves,if we can and are not afraid to. At the State convention of 1904 there were two men prominently be- fore it for the place of Governor,the highest office in the gift of North Carolina.One was a Confederate soldier,a Confederate officer—a man who had served the State gallantly, valiantly,in her desperate struggle for independence and for the estab lishment of the very essence of Dem- ocratic principles of home rule as against the liberty-engulfing cen tralism and imperialism of the day.

Chairman W.M.Long returned yesterday afternoon from Statesville, where he has been the past few days attending the North Carolina Asso- ciation of County Commissioners.Mr. Long had the distinct honor of being elected president of the association, but-he was rather reticent about mentionine the fact and came near overlooking it in expressing his ap- preciation of the royal entertainment given him by the Statesville citizens and especially his host,former Chair- man N.B.Mills,of the Iredell com-missioners. “We have had the association in Charlotte,”he said,“and we have met at Asheville and at Wrightsville Beach,but I am here to say that Statesville ‘beat the world.’The treatment was royal,so much so that if we went into a store to purchase a cigar or soda-water the merchant would say:‘This is all paid for,there is no bill.’They hada full day plan- ned for us today but we just couldn’tpossiblystayandholdourcrowdto- gether.So we hurried through with our work and came home. “Personally speaking,I want to say that |have never been more royally éntertained in my life than I have been for the past few days.Not only did my host make the stay delightful and pleasant for me but aided by Mr. G.E.French,the two made the en- tire membership enjoy their stay in the fine old town of Statesville.The whole citizenship,it seemed,couldn’t do enough for us, “And while speaking of it I want to say that Statesville is a mighty fine city.It’s a clean town and they know how to exert themselves to please visitors.No more hospitable people live anywhere than up in Iredell and to say that we enjoyed our barbecue at the State Farm yesterday would be putting the thing in a mild way.” When asked about the various ex- ercises that -took place,Mr.Long stated that no revolutionary sugfes- tions were made as to taxation,which was one of the main themes of the convention.He stated that Attorney General Bickett made a most excel- lent speech on the question of taxa- tion yesterday and one which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Bud Myers Pardon Serving Term on Iredell Chain Gang. Bud Myers,a citizen of north Ire- dell,who was convicted in Iredell Su- perior Court last January of retail- ing and sentenced to twelve months on the roads,was pardoned by Gov. Craig last week.The pardon is con- ditional,on the stipulation that My- ers must hereafter be a law-abiding citizen.The rasons for pardon by the Governor were set forth in the following words: “The prisoner has already served about seven months of his twelve months’term.Certificate from two gentleman.It was tm our powerto | compensate this veteran for what he} had done and suffered and to com-| pensate in a way that of all others would have brougnt the greatestfloodofjoytohispatrioticheart.| All it would have cost us as a people| to do this was the breath to pro- nounce an extra syllable,two sylia- bles instead of one—itn naming the man for Governor to say Stedman in- stead of Glenn.Which did we say”?

TUESDAY,--~~August 19,1918. Now that Statesville has the most “modern fire fighting equipment that money can buy it is to be hoped that the insurance companies will not in- crease the insurance rates—for a few months at least. The Democrats in the Senate hav- ing decided to stay on the job until the tariff bill and a currency bill are passed,the special session of Con- gress will doubtless run into the reg- ular session,which begins the first Monday in December.The Demo- erats are doing the right thing. They have been elected to enact cer- tain legislation and they should keep at it until their promises are ful- filled. Attorney General Bickett has been frequently mentioned as a probable candidate for Governor in 1916 and while in Statesville last week he was greeted by many people as “our next Governor.”Mr.Bickett did not deny or affirm but it is the general opin- jon that he is in a receptive mood and that he will be in the race “if the way be clear”—that is to say,if he thinks it worth while.Mr.Bick- ett is an able and popular man and will doubtless have a strong follow- ing if he is a candidate.eRRN The evidence in the Hennessee trial at Morganton not having been pub- lished (strange to say the daily pa- pers gave the case little attention), the public is unable to say whether justice triumphed or failed in the ac- quittal of Dr.Hennessee except as one may be influenced by opinions fornied by the published reports of the fight.These opinions will of course differ.There was a battle in which a nuniber of people were in- volved and many wounded.Dr.Hen- nessee says the Pitts brothers were the aggressor.The Pitts family and their friends say Dr.Hennessee was the aggressor.The jury,it is pre- sumed,decided that Dr.Hennessee was fighting in self-defence when he inflicted the wounds that killed Gor- man Pitts.Whatever the opinion of the outcome of the trial,it will be fortunate if the trouble is ended;but conditions are such that more may be expected to follow,sooner or later. That was a surprising statement in the speech of Attorney General Bickett in Statesville Thursday—that the records show that fewer solvent credits are returned for taxation in the State now than were returned be- fore the war.It simply means that most of the solvent credits are not put on the tax books.While those who fail to list solvent credits can- not be excused,for they not only commit perjury but shirk their pro- portion of the public burdens,there is some excuse for their conduct.The taxpayer who returns $5,000 in sol- vént credits or cash on hand pays on the full amount,’whfle the taxpayer who owns $5,000 worth of property pays taxes on anywhere from one- third te two-thirds of the amount and sometimes the valuAtion is less than a third.Thére is no justice in this and it is not surprising that so many people refuse «list money or solvent credits.The tax rate ih Statesville this year,tor town and county purposes,will be $2.16 on the $100.This rate of taxation,as the Attorney General points out,is bur- densome on solvent credits—takes too large a proportion of the earn- ings of money invested at 6 per cent. If classification of property was per- mitted,as is proposed under a con- stitutional amendment now pending, a different rate may be provided for solvent credits and then machinery can be provided to force the listing of solvent credits.The new arrange- ment will not only be fair but it will bring in revenue which it is impos- sible to get under the’present sys- tem..Whatever of the constitutional amendments are rejected by the Leg- islature and the people,those provid- ing for reforms in taxation and for relieving the Legislature of the burden of local legislation,should by all means be adopted. At Asheville I.W.Glaser has filed suit against the Asheville Telephone and Telegraph Company for $3,000. He claims that during a recent:jll- ness the telephone company failed togivehimaconnectionwithhisphysi-cian and as a result of his inability to get in touch with his doctor he suffered great bodily harm and men- tal anguish.“ At Mebane Editor Foy of the Meb-ane Leader,60 years old and feeble, was knocked down and seriously in-jured by a husky fellow who was ag-grieved because the editor wou!dn’tspeaktohimonaccountofapre-yious disagreement. “~STATE NEWS.s ‘Wiley N.Anderson has been «p- atntad postmaster at Calahaln,Da- vie county,and W.W.Miller at Lau- rel Springs,Alleghany county.

The Wilkesboro Patriot says Lar- kin Hanes was killed a few days ago at Martin Roberts’saw mill,on Tumbling Shoals,Mulberry town- ship.In some way he caused a fork holding a pack of lumber to become loosened,throwing the entire pack upon him and crushing him to death.

The State Laboratory of HygieneinRaleighwillsoonhavetreatedonethousandcasesofrabiessinceitbe-gan the work.Contrary to popular opinion,the disease occurs as fre- quently in cool,weather as in warm.In his report of the work for the year closing June 1,Dr.C,A.Shore, the director,said: “There is at present.a well mark-ed increase in rabies in the State. For several years after the anti-rabic work was taken up by the State La- boratory of Hygiene the number ofanimalsdyingwiththediseaseandthenumberofpersonsbittenbyrab-id animals remained at almost afixedfigure.I believe this had beenthecaseforsomeyears,though thereisinsufficientdataonthesubject,During the last 18 months there has been an increase shown in the figuresofeachmonth.In,the year endingMay31weexamined298animalsand found 154 of these rabid.Dogs 138, eats 12,cattle 3;and one child.Thecorrespondingtotalsoftheyearbe-fore were 199 examined and 117 rabid.There has been at the same time an increase in applications for treat- ment by victims of these animals. Two hundred and fifty-nine were treated in the year just passed against 195 the year before.We have now treated nearly 900 persons in all,and so far have had no fatalities. There was one death from rabies in the State during the past year.This person had had no treatment.The economic loss to the.State caused by dogs is appalling,and all of it ispreventable.Rabies is the one dis- ease that coduld be abolished by leg- islative enactment.A law prohibit- ing the running at large of dogs would stamp it out in two years,ex- cept thecases coming over the bor- der from neighboring States.But I think it probable that if we enacted such a law as suggested our super- ior civilization would pe emulated by our neighbors.” In answer to an inquiry,Dr.Shore wrote as follows: “The cost of the Pasteur treatment in the State Laboratory of Hygiene is $20 to those able to pay.To those who furnish evidence in writing of their inability to pay we make no charge for the treatment.Their only expense would be the cost of board for 21 days.A person or animal bit by a mad dog is in danger at any time from about fourteen days up to twelve months.This long period shows that a quarantine of suspected dogs for a few days is of no value at all.To be safe they would have to be confined for twelve months.There is a law on our statute books which refers to this subject.It is as fol- lows:“Section 3305,chapter 81,Revisal of 1905;‘If the owner of any dog shall know,or have good reasons to believe,that his dog,or any dom be- longing to any person under his con- trol,has been bitten by a mad dog, and shall neglect or refuse immedi ately to kill the game,he shall forfeit and pay the shim of fifty dollars to him who will sue therefor;and the offender shall be liable to pay alldamageswhichmaybesustainedby any one,in his property or person, by the bite of any such dog,and shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not more than fifty dollars or imprisoned not moré than _thirty days.’” Condemned Man Arranges For His Funeral. Walter Shelton,the white man who was convicted of first degree murder in Rockingham Superior Court—he killed his wife—and sentenced to die November 28,evidently does not ex- pect to escape the death penalty.The Reidsville Review says that before Shelton was taken to the State pris- on,where he will await electrocu- tion,he sent for a Reidsville under- taker and stated to him that he want- ed to arrange the details for his fun- eral before he left the county.Then, just as a man arranges the details of some business transaction,SheltonSanurchathewaitedtheReidsvilleun- dertaker to go to Raleigh on the day of the,electrocution and take charge of ‘his remains.He made it plain that he did not want the matter of expense to interfere with his having a decent burial,and expressed a de- sire to have the best metallic casket the undertaker could supply.The casket he desires is to be covered in black broadcloth:He also requested that flowers sufficient to completely cover his grave be purchased. A list of pall-bearers ‘and flower- bearers were named.The list of pall-bearers included the three law- yers who defended Shelton at his trial,two other Reidsville lawyers,an alderman of Reidsville,a barber and a doctor.The flower-bearers includ- ed the Reidsville postmaster,county superintendent of schools,prominent business men and otners. Shelton manifested no emotion in arranging the details for his funer-al._He said he had sufficient life in-surance to meet the expense. Mr.Kluttz Offered a Place.

Progressive Farmer.Every Progressive Farmer readerhasheardofsuchanimals;most.read-ers have seen such;some,we fear,have owned such.Indeed there aremanymoresuchanimalsinthelandthanmostfarmersthink;and every such animal—every horse,or cow,orpig,which does not do enough labor,give enough milk,put on enough fleshtopayforfeedconsumedandthecaréreceivedbyit—is a positive in-jury to its owner.Let’s look at a few examples.°s Some time ago Prof.J.F.Duggerwroteusaboutsomefarms.on whichthemulesworkedonly65daysinayear.Prof.Dugger figured that eachday’s work done by one of these mules cost $1.58.There are many farms on which mules are kept a whole yearfor95days’work.Each one of thesedays’work costs the owner of the mules a dollar..Txese mules are “eating their heads off,”for the muleaddstothefarmprofitsonlywhenhe labors.No reasonable man would blame themulesforthisfailuretopaytheirboard.They.were there waiting for work to do The fault was clearly with the owners who arranged—or disarranged-——their farming so that the work-stock was left idle most of the year.It is safe to say,too,that on these farms—every reader knows what was raised on them and how they were managed —there were times when more mules wree badly needed.These farmers made the mistake of trying to put a whole farm into *one crop,a whole year’s farming into five or six months._Take another example:There are thousands of cows that do not pro- duce 150 pounds of butter-fat in a year.Some of them fail because they are too poorly fed to do it;many oth- ers fail simply because they are not “that kind of a cow”—because they :Postponed :the Feat,of Walking ontheWater.ie Lumberton Robesonian.

Yet it is folly to blame the old cow. She is doing the best she can for herself;and it isn’t her business to think for her owner.It is his busi- ness to get the scales and a milk- testing outfit and find out what the cow is doing.If she is living on his labor,the thing for her is to go first to the fattening pen and then to the slaughter house.One more example:In some places one can see hogs in bare lots or in lit- tle dirty pens waiting patiently—or impatiently—for feeding time and their bucket of swill and armful of corn.Sometimes these hogs are thin; sometimes they are fat;but it is safetosaythatalmosteveryoneofthem is “eating his head off”right there in plain sight of his owner. It would be foolish,however,to blame the hogs for this.If-they had some alfalfa or cowpeas or soy beans, or skimmilk to mix with the corn— or rather to mix the corn with-——they would pay bigger prices for it than the farmer would be likely to get any- where else. Three great reasons there are,then,|why farm animals “eat their heads} off:”(1)They are not kept at work;| (2)they are.of the wrong type,and|(3)they are not properly fed.And} the owner rather than the animal is | at fault in all three cases.

Nance tried to prevent him from entering but Scott forced the door open sufficiently to use the extinguish- er.N.Monsaret,another guest,came up at this time and apon forcing the 16th,to Greens- door discovered the body of a womanyingnearthedoorand‘the entire body on fire.The body was pulled in the hall and the fire extinguished. They discovered that the woman’s skull was crushed and that she was dead.Nance had not attempted to leave and was placed under arrest.From the condition of the room Nance had killed his wife,had changed clothesandthenpouredoilfromalampin the room over the body and about the room and set fire to the body.After being arrested Nance made a state- ment saying that they had some words and his wife attempted to cut him with a razor and he killed her; that he did not intend to kill her when he struck her.An open razor and an empty beer bottle were.lying on the floor beside the body. The woman was small and pretty, wearing glasses.She was evidently French,as there were found among her effects several French transla- tions.She was handsomely dressed and wore a large diamond ring.Many of her effects were burned,but among those saved was a receipted bill from S.H.George &Co.,of Greenville,8. C.,addressed to Mrs.George Nance, 321 Laurens street,Greenville,S.C. Nance is apparently 40 years old, medium size,clean shaven and slen- der.He was well dressed and when arrested had $462.50 in money on his person. A coroner’s jury decided that the deceased came to her death,at the hands of her husband,Geo.S.Nance, and the man was immediately com- mitted to Rockingham county jail. ereeen nttienaretmatunennmmemanataiemremeratamAnets, Proceed With Aluminum On Free List. Washington Dispatch,14th,to Char- lotte Observer. Theodore Sternfeld,treasurer of the Southern Aluminum Company, told members of the North Carolina delegation today that if aluminum is freelisted,as proposed in Senator Kenyon’s amendment to the tariff bill,his company will abandon its developments at Whitney.The com- pany was organized with $12,000,000 capital to make aluminum,and in that connection harness the Yadkin river.Mr.Sternfeld declared that under the former rate of seven cents a pound the aluminum industry pros- péred in the country,and even under the rate of four cents,as proposed by the Underwood bill,his.company intended to establish an enormous plant in North Carolina.The Sen- ate cut this in half,placing it at two cents a pound,and the company still hoped ‘to do business;but Sternfeld declared that if the amendment pro- posed by Senator Kenyon placingaluminumonthefreelistisadopted,his company wij]abandort tts projectandNorthCarolinawilllosewhat promises to be a big industry within a few years.(A xeport of the United -States Geological Survey,published:in The Landmark of August 8th,shows there is a great increase in the demand foraluminumandthatwhilethedomes- t.c production has greatly increased it has not kept pace with the de- mand.This might indicate that the a'uminum industry in this country is not dependent on protection.)

COMMITTED TO RURAL CREDITS President Wilson Says That Will Be “Our Next Great Task and Duty.” President Wilson last week issued the following statement:‘ “Again and again during the dis- cussion of the currency bill it has been urged that special provision should be made in it for the facilita-tion of such credits as the farmersofthecountrymoststandinneedof—agricultural credit as distin- guished from ordinary commercialandindustrialcredits.Such pro-posals were not adopted because such|credits could be only imperfectly p vided for in such w measure.escopeandcharacterofthebill,itsimmediateandchiefpurpose,couldnotbemadetoreachasfarasthe quire.“Special machinery and a distinctsystemofbankingmustbeprovidedforifruralcreditsaretobesuccess- fully and adequately supplied.A government commission is now in Eu-rope studying the ‘interesting andhighlysuccessfulmethodswhich have been employed in several coun- tries of the Old World,and its report will be made to Congress at a regular session next winter.It is confidentlytobeexpectedthattheCongresswill at that session act upon the recom- mendations of that report and es- tablish a complete and adequate sys- tem of rural!credits.“There is no subject more impor-tant to the welfare or the industrial development of the United States, there is no reform in which I would myself feel it a greater honor or priv: ilege to take part,because I should feel ‘that it was a service to the whole country of the first magnitude and significance.It should have accom- panied and gone hand in hand with the reform of our banking and cur- rency system if we had been ready to act wisely and with full knowledge of what we were about. “There has been too little Federal legislation framed to serve the farmer directly and with a deliberate adjust- ment to his real needs.“We long ago fell into the habit of assuming that the farmers of America enjoyed such an immense natura:advantage over the farmers of the rest of the world, were so intelligent and enterprising and so at ease upon the incompara- ble soils of our great continent that they could feed the world and pros-per no matter what handicap they earried,no matter what disadvantage,whether of the law or of natural cir- cumstances,they labored under. “We have not exaggerated their capacity or their opportunity,but we have neglected to analyze the burden- some disadvantages from which they were suffering and have too often failed to remove them when we did see what they were.Our farmers must have means afforded them of handling their financial needs,easily and inexpensively.They should be furnished these facilities before their enterprises languish,not afterward: “And they will be.This is our next great task and duty.Not only is a government commission about to re- port which is charged with apprising Congress of the best methods yet em- ployed in this matter but the Depart- ment of Agriculture has also under- PAGE McMICHAELS’STORY. Former Chief Page of the House Tells Sensational Story of Dealings With Congressman McDermott of Illinois and Mulhall. In a dramatic statement J.H.Mc-Michaels,dismissed chief page of the House of Representatives,Friday night presented to the House lobby investigating committee a sweepingchargeofcorruptionagainstRepre- sentative James E.McDermott of Illi-nois,for years his sponsor.With in- tense earnestness McMichaels,in pic-turesque language,corroborated theallegationsofMartinM.MulhallagainstMcDermottandmadeaddi- tional charges,at times shocking thecommitteeandspectatorswithout-bursts of profanity and slang. The witness declared that for yearshehadexertedeveryefforttosupport McDermott,had loaned him mdhey,had helped him in his campaigns.Now,he said,McDermott had“thrown him down”and he felt he must tell the truth. In addition’to the charges already made McMichaels swore that the Chi- cugo Representative told him that he received $7,500 out of a fund of $10,-000 rised by the pawnbrokers pfWashingtontoopposeabillpassed in the last Congress regulating inter- est rates in the District of Columbia. In this connection MeMichaels told of a trip to New York when McDer- mott conferred with John McDermott of an association of brewers and with George H.Horning,a local pawn- broker.Concluding his testimony he testi- fied that Congressman McDermott, since the Mulhall episode,had en- deavored to get him to conceal Me- Dermott’s alleged part in the .trans- action.“l met MeDermott in the hall of this office building,”said McMichaels, his voice unsteady with emotion,“and he said:‘My God,Ilam a ruined man. What am I going to do?Do you sup- pose anybody will believe this old guy?’I said to.him,‘I’ve worked hard for you for six years,harder than I ever worked for any man.I tried to elevate you and help you to a big position.’I told him I had done all I could for him.He said,‘You've got nothing to lose,you don’t live with your wife.I’m a Congressman arid I’ve got a wife and children.Say you wrote these letters unbeknownst to me and that I did not know.any- thing about it.Even if they prove that you committed perjury and forgery they can only send you down the river to the Ark for two years and I'll pay you $100 a month while you are there” “T said to him,‘Yes,you are will- ing to pay me $100 a month to go to jail for you,but you won't pay me the wages you honestly owe me.I’ve got $11 in my pocket;that’s all I’ve got to show for six years’work;but I won't do this for you.’” For Weakness and Loss of Appetite The Old Standard general strengthening tonic, GROVE’S TASTELESSchillTONIC,drivesout Malaria and builds up the system.A true tonic and sure Appetizer.For adults and children,We, First Building and Loan Association.

Harry Kendall Thaw,the slayer of Stanford White,escaped from.the Hospital for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan,N.Y.,at 7.45 o'clock Sunday morning.A dart for liberty through an open gate,a leap into the open door of a powerful automobile that stood quivering outside and a 'flight like a rocket for the Connevti- cut State line,30 miles away,accom- plished his escape.Once beyond the State lines Thaw is free.Only months,perhaps years,of litigation, can bring him back to Matteawan and then only in one event—that he be adjudged insane in the State to which he has fled. The hospital authorities believed that Thaw fled to the shore of Long Island Sound and voarded a yacht waiting with steam up to rush him to Europe. Five confederates manned the ca” in which Thaw escaped and a big black limousine which trailed it past the asylum gate.The police have the descriptions of Thaw’s confederates and the names under which they re¢- istered at a local hotel Friday night and are seeking them. A reward of $500 for Thaw’s ap- prehension has been offered by Dr. R.F.C.Keib,superintendent of the| asylum.Howard H.Barnum,the at- tendant at the gate past whom Thaw flashed in his break for freedom,is under arrest and other arrests are ex- pected to follow in the rigid investi- gation. The hotel at which Evalyn Nesbit, Thaw’s former wife,is stopping im New York city is guarded.The wo- man and her mother are in terror, as Thaw had threatened to kill his wife,and othar persons whom he hated are more or less uneasy.All the policemen in New York are on the lookout for Thaw. Harry Thaw,son of a wealthy family,a moral degenerate,married’ Evalyn Nesbit,-a young woman with a past.Actuated by jealousy he kill- ed Stanford White,a prominent ar- chitect and a favorite of his wife be- fore she married him.The courts held him insane and he was sent to a hospital for the criminal insane. He has made numerous attempts get out of the hospital by legal means and his family have spent large sums in his behalf. TtTE Republicans Mist Talk Less or Put in Longer Hours. Washington Dispatch, Greensboro News. Unless the Republicans of the Sen- ate cease delaying action.on the tar- iff bill by needless «speech-making,they “wilt be required to talk %3 hoffrs 16th, ~daily.Senator Simmons and several other Democratic leaders in the Senate de- cided that,if tactics of the opposi- tion Senators are not changed by the middle of next week,the Senate shall meet at 11 o’clock in the forenoon and continue until midnight,six days a week.The programme as outlined by the senior North Carolina Sena- tor has been approved by the major- ity members of the Senate finance committee .It has been apparent during the last two weeks that the Republican Senators have been “stringing out” the debate.They have taken little pains to conceal their motive.Sena- tors Gallinger and Penrose,in fact, passed word across the aisle to Sen- ators Simmons,Stone,Kern andHokeSmith@fthefinancecommit- tee,some time ago,saying the tariff debate would move much more swift- ly if the Democrats would give as- surances that the currency bill would not be taken up in the Senate at the present session. Having already decided in caucus to undertake a revision of the bank- ing laws immediately after the pass- age of the tariff bill,and sent home for fur overcoats and stored in a sup-ply of coal for the winter,the Dem- ocrats are now anxious to hasten the final vote on the tariff.This can be done only by forcing the Republi- cans to the limit of their oratoricalendurance.The Republicans will op- pose the plan of lengthening the dai- ly sittings. feel certain they can put the new pro- gramme into effect.Therefore the Republicans are given until Wednes-day of next week to change theirmethods.; Buncombe county commissioners have decided to segregate white and colored convicts on the county chaingang.They will be kept in separate camps and worked separately.

Mexican Provisional President DidNotSendUltimatumButHasRe-jected Offer of Mediation—-He HasConferredWithMr.Lind,the Pres-ident’s Representative. The story sent out Monday night that Provisional President.Huerta ofMexicohaddemandedimmediaterec-ognition or the severance of all dip-lomatic relations with the United States,was not true. Huerta hag conferred with JohnLind,the personal representative of President Wilson,and their relations are cordial.The Mexican.President, however,has rejected the offer-of the United States to attempt to bring about peace between the Mexican fac- tions.Though negotiations are con- tinuing on a cordial personal basis, neither side is receding from its posi- tion and alternative measures already are under consideration in Washing- ton.No definite course has been formulated,but the policy which at present is under consideration and is most likely to be adopted is one of absolute non-interference. The American government under such a policy would continue to deny arms to both sides,would withdraw Americans from trouble zones,insist on’proper protection to property and lives,and in effect let the Mexicanscontinuetheirconfroversyonthe battlefield.The administration is determined against intervention or -war and the other alternative,friendly media- tion,apparently has failed.Govern- ment officials believe,however,that the United States through the mis- sion of Mr.Lind,will have satisfied foreign governments generally of its desire to bring about peace and they do not conceive that there will be anypressuretobringaboutintervention. To grant arms to the constitution-alists would in the opinion of many officials only add to the dangers of anarchy in the republic,equipping bandit bodies with weapons of de- struction of which they hitherto havebeendeprived.It is pointed out that when Gen.Diaz became President of Mexico in1877theUnitedStatesrefusedto recognize his government for nearly a year,until convinced that his ad- ministration was a stable one. President Wilson is at work on amessagewhichheprobablywillreadtobothhousesofConnextMon-Bemetethroughhisrsonalrepresentative,John Lind,with the Huerta govern- ment in Mexico. Think Roosevelt is Figuring on Re- publican Nomination. Washington Dispatch. Republican leaders in Congress, progressives as well as regulars,have come to the conclusion that The- odore Roosevelt will enter the Repub- lican presidential primaries in 1916 in the hope of capturing the Repub- lican nomination. This conviction has gradually been settling down on y here,but it was not until recently that the leaders began to show evidence of grave concern.They acknowledge now that the work of reorganizing the party must not de long delayed if the Roosevelt nomination is to be avoided.aThawFightingForReleaseFromCanadianJail.

No matter how much you earn,you will neverbe weal- thy or independent if you spend it all.Spare time and spare money are the poor man’s capital.Success in life depends on the returns from that capital.

Some States wiscly prohibit marri- ages between certain races—and all of them should—for the preservation of civilization;and the marriage of persons closely related is also pro- hibited in some States.This is not an infringement on personal liberty but a wise provision for the safety of the race.By the same token pro- visions which would prohibit the mat- ing of persons physically unfit would be wise..It may be considered an infringement of personal liberty to say that two persons should not mate whose physical condition was such that the offspring would likely be physical or mental wrecks;but such matings often bring into the world human beings who may spend their lives in misery and who cre a burden and often a menace to the community.In this view the com- munity,the State and the future of the race deserve some .consideration. 000 to $5,000 a year on the upkeepofthosesameroads.Berrien is mak-ing a.big mistake in spending somuchforroadbuildingandthenal-lowing the roads to go to ruin.They should be taken care of after they are built.”Moralizing,the News says it is expensive to allow roads to.get out of repair.“By comparison it isexceedinglyinexpensivetokeepthemuptotheproperstandard.To.spend thousands of dollars te.build a few miles of road and then to pay no fur-ther attention to it,permitting it ‘to be cut by traffic ang to be badlywashedbytherainswithoutmaking any effort to repair the damage is al- most equivalent to throwing themoneyintotheocean.South Georgia has many hundred thousand dollars ‘sunk’in new roads and cannot af-ford to lose all that money simply through the failure of county author- it is printed here to emphasize again the fact that Iredell county today faces by far the most important problem in connection with its road work,and that is the upkeep of the roads it is building.In the near fu- ture the county will have expended the $400,000 of road money.Unless the roads built are kept in repair our boasted good roads will be but a name a few years hence and the greater part of the money we have expended will be wasted.If the roads are al- lowed to wear out before repairs are begun,the cost of repair will be al- most equal to rebuilding.If a systematic and economical system of upkeep is devised the roads can be kept in repair at small cost;but the most important matter is eternal vig- ilance.If close attention is given and repairs made promptly,the roads will never get bad agd the upkeep will be a simple matter.Iredell peo- ple should keep this matter to the front at all times.ff it is allowed his own (the father’s)hands?Isn't boy received strict home training, instead of being pampered as he was, he would have grown into a nsefulandlaw-abiding citizen?Every daythereispreachedthegospelofpa-rental duty,the obligation of-parentstotraintheirchildrenproperly,butwhentheyneglecttodischargethesedutiestheparents,not the children,are condemned.Children.turn out to-be just what their parents make them.“A youngchild,”said a well-known speaker re- cently,“when left to his own devices, is little better than a small savage.He has the selfish and brutal impulsesoftheprimitivehuman.It rests withtheparentstocurbhisnaturalde-sires and passions,and to guide anddirectthesesothattheymaybecome demned.”Of course there are many cases where parents have endeavored to do their full duty and have yet been rewarded with unruly children.Butunlesstherebesomeinheritedtrait that cannot by any means be eradi- cated,the child properly trained in babyhood and bayhood seldom comestogrief.An authority on the rearing of children once declared that the training of a child should begin as soon as it is born and that statementisnotfarfromthetruth.We watch the growing plant with unceasing vigilance from the time that the sprout appears above the ground,and similar care is given to young ani- mals of prize breeding.Is it not far more imperative that the duties of parenthood shoulc begin at the cradle? Severe Arraignment of Parents Who Interfere With Teachers. Marshville Home.

Such a parent is too little to be the father or mother of a-nice respecta- ble Berkshire pig“and ought to be run out of the community.“We often hear parents who have not more than four or-five children saying that they therefore want to work him.Other men,while doubting the profit to be made from the child,probably wish to put him at work in order to swell the family budget,thereby kecping the adult members or the family con-tented in the business.This is per- haps:the main reason why children aré employed.There is another reason:Manufacturers who are not sale at about half price.Many beautiful shapes and colors.

There have been stories and stories published of peculiar articles sent by parcels post since that system was in- stituted on January 1,but the local postoffice authorities received a par- cel a few days ago that will doubtiess equa!any of them in point of variety. This package contained the following articles:An evening gown,one pair of white silk hose,two shirtwaists, several lace collars,a pair of white satin pumps,otie tooth brush and a tube of tooth paste,a box of rice pow der,a comb and brush and q box of grapes.ee Possibly no part of the contents would ever been known to the post- office clerks had it not been that the sender included that box of grapes. Unfortunately for the lady receiving the package,and for the goods in the package,the grapes becatne fear- foNy mashed in.transit;the rich,red juicé had dissemina’itself tirotigh- out the finery and then had ferment- ed.The package was softened and was dropping to pieces and that caused the investigation.

Taxpayers,Large and Small. Kansas City Times. The man of large means,who re- gards himself with pride as an im- portant taxpayer,usually assmues for that reason he ought to have more to say in the direction of the gov- ernment than the man of small means.Well,if he pays more taxes,he dodges more taxes.But let that pass. In his relations to the State compare his services with those of the man who hasn’t had the gift of money- making.The rich man doesn’t furnish any more boys for military service in de- fense of his country;he doesn’t fur- nish so many.He doesn’t serve any oftener on the jury;indeed,he usu- ally gets excused from jury service. If he pays more for the support of government,he gets more out of the government.He resorts oftener to the courts.He'derives tremendous advantages from organized society. His.business would be worthless if it were located in Central Africa.Finally,he takes little interest in governmental affairs,and the chances are that he fails to vote when the poor man takes pains to go to the polls.The man who swells up over thefactthatheisalargetaxpayerisusuallynotnearlyasgoodacitizen and ought not to have as much to sayaboutthegovernmentastheplain voter who does hig duty by his fam-ily and the city.

These two gifts,made by Adolph Melzer,wealthy Indianan,will be plan whereby the people can initiate (that is,begin)to pass a law;and after having given the Legislature a chance to pass it,can pass it by a popular vote,if the Legislature fails to pass it.In other words,it gives the people not only the power to pe- tition for measures;it gives them wer to pass measures over the Reade of their servants,the legisla- tors.(The number of petitioners re- uired is ten per cent of’the voters in the State so distributed as to in- clude ten per cent of the voters in each of fifty counties.) This is evidently a good thing.All who believe in popular ‘government will suport the Initiative.,It is no- thing more than adding to the rightofpetitionthepowertoenact,It doesnotdisplacetheLegislature.It mere- ly enables the people to do for them- selves such things as the Legislature refuses —after notice —to do for them.It is to use President Wil- son’s phrase,“the gun behind thedoor,”to be used only when really needed.‘Now for the Referendum. The Referendum enables the peo- ple to veto a law.Much has been said in certain quarters about the failure of the commission to invest the Governor with power to veto laws.From these same quarters should come expressions of joy that the commission did recommend that the people be given the veto power.The plan is simple.No law,ex- cept certain emergency laws,shall go into effect until 90 days after pass- the funds and credits of the bank,” and charging R.B.Horn with “aid- ing and abetting”in embezzling the money,which is placed in the bill as $6,780.03;and a further charge against Cashier Norman with mak- ing “false entries in the ledger on cash and account items”of $11,810.10. Judge Cline ordered that Norman be placed under a $3,000 bond and that R.B.Horn be placed under a bond of $5,000.Solicitor Frank Linney asked that Horn be placed under a bond of $10,000.but this was not granted from the fact that there was only $16,000 involved. John A.Martin,president of the bank,stated that not only did’the public have the greatest confidence in the cashier but that stockholders had so much that he was not placed under bond as cashier of the bank.He also said that a letter had been found from Horn to Norman in which a blank check was enclosed instructing Norman,in case he had any visitors, to fill out the check,which was sign- ed,-for any amount he should needupto$10,000.Mr.Martin also stat- lad that the “kiting business”hadbeen.carried on for some time.

Per 4ShortSessionoftheDemocratic County Convention Yesterday.; The session of .the Democratic county convention yesterday,called to nominate a candidate for the State Senate,was brief.It,was called to order at 11:15 and within ten min- utes the work was dene and the dele- gates were leaving the house. The convention was composed of delegates to the last convention and Mr.Z.V.Long,who was chairman of that convention,presided.R.R. Clark acted ‘as secretary.While the attendance was small a call of the roll showed all townships represented except three—Eagle Mills,Fallstown and New Hope—and Eagle Mills re- ported after the convention adjourn- ed.+. The first thing the convention did was to go on record against consid- ering any legislation at the extra ses- sion of the Legislature except that specfically named by the Governor in his call.The following resolution, offered by Mr.Z.V.Turlington of Mooresville,was unanimously adopt- ed:* “Resolved,by the Democracy of Iredell county in convention as~ sembled,that we oppose the passage of any general legislation at the ap- proaching extra session of the Gener- al Assembly,except those measures specifically mentioned:by the Govern- or in his proclamation calling the ex- tra session,and our Senator and Rep- resentatives are instructed to oppose the passage ‘of any other general legislation.”; Motion to nominate a candidate for the State.Senate being adopted, Mr.R.B.McLaughlin nominat- ed Mr.Dorman Thompson,saying that “in character and ability he measures up to the best traditions of old Iredell.”: Mr.Turlington seconded the nomi- nation,saying he had known Mr, Thompson since they were at the Uni- versity together and he knew him to be a clean and upright man, The nomination was made by ac- clamation. Mr.McLaughlin said that as the action of the convention would not be &surprise to Mr.Thompson he didn't think it necessary to send a commit- tee to notify him,and on his motion the convention adjourned.

The Iredell Union Warehouse Com-pany.i A-recent issue of the Carolina Union Farmer publishes cuts of,thewarehouseandshowroomatStates-ville of the Iredell.Farmers’Ware- house Company,and says:“The Ire-dell Warehouse Company has a ‘paidupcapitalstockof$8,000 and ownsandoperatestwocottonstorageware-houses in addition to the above.Thestockholdersarenowajasivesbuildinganotherwarehouseexforfertilizers,also an oil.tank.”The same pret contains an articlefromaiaGibson, Shy.3 telling WHISKEY FOR “MILK|SICK.” It is the Only Remedy Known and a Large Quantity is Required. *A dispatch from Washington totheGreensboroNews,copied in Fri- day’s Landmark,told of a dreadful scourge in Avery county,known thereas“milk sick.”It was explainedthatthediseaseiscommunicatedtohumanbeingsthroughmilkand_but-ter.Taking note of this dispatch, Mr.Cicero Cline of Catawba countycameintocxplaintoTheLandmarkwhatheknowsofthedisease.He says it is in Catawna and Watauga counties and those who live in sec-tions where it occurs think it is duetocowsfeedinginmarshyplaceswherethegrasshasbeenpoisonedbygasesfromminerals.They get rid of it by mowing the grass andremovingitbeforeit.is-cured’on the ground. Nothing:will cure-the “milk sick” disease,Mr.Cline says,except whis- key and lots of it.He says that Mr. Brown,near Shull’s Mills,Watauga county,had the disease,lost his ap- etite and it was some time before e knew what was wrong with him. As soon as it was found out he be- gan to tse the whiskey sparingly but the disease did not yield.The amount of whiskey was increased sufficiently to counteract the poison and Mr.Brown recovered.Mr.Cline thinks the proper amount of whiskey is a half pint the hour until the dis- ease yields. Mr.Cline doesn’t have much faith in the average grade of liquor made now but suggests good grade of whiskey or brandy. It may be well to warn folks that the nature of the cure should not tempt them to go out of the way to have the disease. A Runaway on the Turnersburg Road and One in Town. A team of mules driven by Mr. Thos.Bell of Bethany township be- came frightened at an automobile about two miles out the Turnersburg road Saturday afternoon and at- tempted to run away.One of the lines broke,but Mr.Bell managed topullthemulesoveragainstabank and.stop them.One of the mulesgotuponthebankandwhenason of Mr.Bell,who was with him,caught’the mule by the bridle and pulled it from the bank,the animal gave a leap forware and knocked young Bell down.Before the teamcouldbestoppedagamtheyoung man was run over by both whecls of the wagon,but was not seriously hurt.He was taken to the home of Mr.T.D.Shuford,where he was at-tended by a physician. A team of horses belonging to J.C.Steele &Sons became frightened in the vicinity of the depot Friday afternoon and made a wild run with an empty dray wagon along Center street to Broad and up west Broad to the new garage building,where they encountered piles of rock and sand which checked their speed to such ex- tent that a colored man jumped intothewagonandstopped>them:The team made a great noise as it ran along the tarvia paving.Many peo- ple ran out to see and some ran in- to the street_and made violent signs to the team,as is the custom in such cases,but the team didn’t heed the motions and the sign-makers gave right of way.No damage. Not Known in Statesville. The following dispatch from Rich- -_-“a.owas in Sunday's Raleigh News and Observer:-~) “Mrs.Philip Winn,a young,del- icate-looking woman who was com- mitted to the city jail for a year in default of a $500 peace bond for mak- ing a spectacular attempt to shoot her husband,has been released,it was disclosed today,after 17 years’ imprisonment. “She was discharged at the request of a brother,who lives at Statesville,N.C.,on his promise to take her tothatplaceandcareforher..“A warrant which Mrs.Winn swore out charging her husband withnon-support led directly to the trou- ble...When the husband went to the office of his attorney to consult withhim,Mrs.Winn followed with a ‘ba-by automatic’revolver..When she appeared at the office Winn beat a hasty retreat through the rear,and with great effort she was finallyoverpowered.” The Landmark has been unable to learn anything to connect States-ville with the above.The statementthatthewomanwasheldinjail17 years sounds fishy and it may be the whole story is off color. Big Distillery Destroyed in Yadkin. In the “big woods”of South Liber- ty.township,Yadkin county,Friday, Deputy Collector Davis and Mr.Dur-and Davis of Statesville destroyed one of the largest and best blockade distilleries they have seen in a long time.The plant was apparently new and had just begun operations,the 125-gallon still being of bright newcopper.About 500 gallons of beerwasdestroyedalongwiththeplant.As officers drove through the woods toward the still they saw a manstandingbesidetheroadlookingupinatree.He explained to the “reven-ues”that he had “almost killed ahawkwitharock”and was thenlookingforit.The next person seencamefromthedirectionofthestill and a)red rather excited,but heclaitoknownothingofwhatwasgoin2sWhentheofficersarrivedatthedistillerytherewasnooneonthe.premises and it is believed thatthefirstmanencounteredchasedoff president ofbusi- WAYS OF THE TRANSGRESSORS.

The speakers of the day were Mr. Dorman Thompson of Statesville and Mr.A.C.Shuford of Newton.Mr Thompson spoke in the forenoon,his subject being “Unity,Co-operation and Education,”the three words embodiedihthenameofthefarmers’ organization—Farmers,Co-operative and Educational Union.Each word was taken up and*discussed as it ap- plied to the betterment of farm and community life.Mr.Shuford spoke in the afternoon on co-operation as applied in a business way,using the co-operative’creamery established at Hickory by:his brother as an exam ple of successful co-operation.

Who is the Mr.Sumner that issellingspectaclesinthecountyand telling it that he hay an office in the First National Bank building?Thatisthequestionthatisperplexingthe occupants of offices on the second floor of the First National Bank. A few days ago a young man whosaidhisnameisTempletonandthat he lives in the northern section of thecounty,met Mr.D.F.Jenkins at the First National Bank building and inquired if “Mr.‘Sumner”was upstairs.Mr.Jenkins,who has an office on the second floor of thebankbuildingandknowsalltheoc- cupants of the offices in the building, told the caller that no.individual of the name of Sumner had an office in the building.Then Mr.Templeton unbosomed himself.He said he had bought a pair of spectacles for his mother, for which he paid $10,from a man who said his name was Sumner.He said the salesman told him he had an office in the First National Bank building in Statesville and if the spectacles,which he was selling to advertise his ‘business,were not sat- isfactory he could call there and get his money back.Templeton said he had become suspicious of the specta- cle vender because he heard he had offered a pair of spectacles similar to those for which he had paid $10 to another party for $5.Not satisfied with Mr,Jenkins’assurance that there was no Mr.Sumner in the building,Templeton went upstairsandmadeinquirybuthedidn’t find Mr.Sumner. Some of the suspicious have in- timated that possibly some one of the occupants of offices in the bank building,finding bus:ness dull in their regular lines,have been peddling spectacles as a side line under an as- sumed name,but they all with one accord have denied the soft impeach- ment.

Besides Great Britain,France and Japan,practically all une Central and South American countries are lendingtheirsupporttotheeffortsofthe United States to bring about a peace-. ful settl it of the Mexican revolu- tion.:Unless satisfactory overtures are The.State Journal is advised that Statesville people who aré well post- ed are indulging in no false hopes anent the promised reduction in in- surance rates on account the intro- duction of the motor fire truck,The reduction will probably be made.as promised,but,as has been mentioned insurance rates on residences were materially jncreased last spring,the increase in The Landmark,the in some instances amounting —to about 100 per cent.If the promised reduction amounts to as much as the increase,we will be where we were before;and it is about as certain as anything can be that some excuse will be found for another increase in rates ere long.The fire equipment is all right and necessary,but the man who expects any permanent sav- ing in insurance on account of any equipment that could be provided,no matter how modern and up-to-date, is simply unacquainted with the ways of the insurance companies.The agents do the best they can for us, we have no doubt,but we’re in the grip of the trust.eee The Avery county doctor who wrote to Washington asking that an expert from the public health ser- vice be sent to the mountain county to a of “milk sick,”for which this doctor could find no remedy,is evidently a young man who is unacquainted with the history of the mountain country and had not interviewed the old-timers.Accord- ing to Mr.Cicero Cline of Catawba county,“milk sick”is an old disease in the mountains and the old-timers had a remedy for it,the remedy be- ing the “old familiar suice,”for which the mountain country was formerly famous.They treated “milk sick” just as they treated snake-bite—they poured whiskey in the victim until the effects of the whiskey counteracted the poison,It may that the Avery county doctor was appealing to the government because the old- time remedy can hardly be found in these days of drought.If that be so his appeal should not have been for a doctor but for a general sus- pension of the Webb law,the search and seizure law and «uch other stat- utes as may interfere,until enough of the ardent could be obtained to treat the scourge of “milk sick.”If it was known that the true remedy would be promptly provided in all cases of “milk sick”1t is probable that the disease wourd spread rapidly and that people who had never heard of it would become suddenly afflicted; but this skgguld not prevent those who really ha e disease from receiv- ing the only known .remedy. Banks at Charlotte,Greensboro, Raleigh and Wilnfington will get $1,- 500,000 of the government funds that Secretary McAdoo ts depositing in Southern and Western banks to move crops:The government can't deal with allthe ‘banks separately,and so this,money is deposited im banka in _the larger centers,these to Joan it to the other banks in.the State,all be- ing under promise to loan the money only to move the crops and not for speculative purposes.These banks pay the goverfiment 2 per cent for the money and they must put up security for it.This means that they will of course charge other banks more than 2 per cent to cover cost of handling.It has been suggested that the banks which get the govern- ment funds might investigate scourge be take advantage of the situation and charge other banks a greater rate of interest than necessary.We hardly .think government would be all that is nec- essary to cause the removal of the deposit from the benk so offending While the government has not,so far as we know,fixed a rate of interest for the banks to charge,the make a bie profit. of the State violate which restricts the to 6 per cent. the State rate of All such banks shoulebeprosecutedaslawviolators,which’they are,and if any of them attempt te work this game with government money it would be a good time to un cover them.

That the United States is backed by a worldwide sentiment in its pol- icy is conceded in diplomatic circles here.Tangible evidence.of the atti- tude of France came today in the news dispatches from Paris stating it was practically certain President Poincare and Foreign Minister Pich- on.would not receive Francisco De La Barra,appointed minister to France by Provisional President Huerta and now en route to his post. His status,it was pointed out in the advices from Paris,was similar to that of Gen.Feltx Diaz,special ambassador to Japan from the Huer- ta administration,who it was an- nounced in Tokio,would not be wel- comed,Great Britain’s statement re- cently that the recognition of Huerta had been provisional pending an elec- tion,taken together with expres- sions from France and Japan,all of whom.have formally recognized Huer- ta,are the only public manifestations of sympathy with the policy of the United States in opposing Huerta, but in the quiet realm of diplomacy a greater pressure is being brought to bear upon the Huerta regime to yield to the American suggestion for peace,Assurances that ‘Latin-America stands by President Wilson have been informally received here.This had been -expected,however,as the in- terests of Central and South Ameri- can countries,where volatility of gov- ernment has prevailed through mil- itary dictatorships,are admittedly in line with the attitude taken by the United States in the present situa- tion. While President Wilson has com- pleted his messaye,which will embrace not only a summary of the proposals made by John Lind and the reply of the Huerta government, but a statement of the policy to be followed bythe United States,ad- ministrations were reticent to discuss what course would be pursued.They pointed significantly,however,to the Latin-American statement issued by President Wilson during the first fortnight of his administration and declared it would be the basis of what he would have to say on Tuesday. Mexico Waiting. Mexico City Dispatch,24th. The keenest anxiety Was manifest- ed in the capital today as to what will be the development of the under- taking of the United States govern- ment in Mexico's internal affairs. Mexico’s attitude is one of waiting, while the people resident here,both native and foreign,are displaying deep apprehension. Senor Gamboa,minister of for- eign affairs,denied the reports that Mexico will make any proposal to the United States,but expressed the hope that Washington might reply to Mexico's note rejecting the American Mr.Lind,President Wil- son’s personal representative,main- tains cordial relations with the for- eign office but little has been done dufing the last few days by him and Senor Gamboa which uld be cal- culated to alter the situation.At ‘}present official negotiations between the two countries have ceased,Mr. Lind being now a spectator of eventsratherthananactor, Leen The Interest of.the Public in ‘Public Offices. State Journal.7 It will make little difference to the public whether the offices be filled byDemocratsorRepublicansshouldthe thousands of Democrats who are now taking office show no higher ideals of public service than far too many of their predecessors have shown.This is particularly true in the South, where the Federal offices have largely been conducted as adjuncts to the fac- tional machine that happened to be in the ascendency in the Republican party.The great mass of Democrats are interested,not m officeholding, but in seeing the public service made more efficient,more responsive to the needs of the public,and more conse- crated to an ideal public service. There is not an office in the land,no matter how modest,that is not capa- ble of improvement,and it is the bus- iness of the Democrats now assuming these positions to strengthen public confidence in the party,not by politi-cal intrigue and judicious pap dis- tribution,but by improving and mak-ing better the service of their partic-ular offices.

Chauffeur Means a Burner—How the Word Originated. Anonymous. While the present meaning of the word is purely a designation of an automobile driver,a hundred or moreyearsago,in France,it was differ- ent.In those days a chauffeur was a member of a band of outlaws dur- ing the Reign of Terror.These bands roamed over the northeastern portion of France under the lead of John,the Skinner.They garroted men and women and roasted their feet to compel them to disclose hidden treasures.In 1803 vigorous meas-- ures were taken which resulted in their suppression.The original mean- ing of the word itself is “burner.” When the automobile began to be used freely the term was applied to the driver and to the mechanician who accompanied him.It was in untrammelad,unrestricted rule of the | France that the automobile was first used to any degree as a vehicle of| recreation or transportation,and so}it came that a French word is so gen-| erally used.i (The automobile driver not infre-| quently “burns the wind,”hence | chauffeur—burner.—The Landmark.)| Saving in Armor Plate Contract.

Lawyer Discoursed on the Styles of Woman's Dress. In Durham a few days ago a Mr. Horner was haled to court for whip- ping his young daughter.He was discharged.What the whipping was about is not stated,but Mr.Victor Bryant,a Durham lawyer,who ar- peared for the father,took occasion to pass a few caustic comments on the present-day fashions of the fem- inine gender.Mr.Bryant is just as much opposed to the slit skirts as he is to the tango dance.He said the young women were going about the streets in low that they barely escaped the law,and skirts al- most as short as the law allows. In spite of the high temperature the attorney thought that when wo- men wore these dresses of the diaph- anous and clinging effect that they should be more careful about gett-nge in the sunlight or else wet the habit of wearing thicker petticoats. He pleaded that the conduct of some of the young girls about the town was such as to justify the kindofawhippingwhichMr.Horner ad- dregses so fministered.

Swink was very promptly convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for five years,after- wards reduced to three.Swink was@poorman.Swink was unable to bring to his rescue un array of able counsel,influential men and detect- ives.Swink goes to the penitentiary. We do not say that Swink should have been acquitted.We do not say that Hennessee should have been con- victed. But we do say,that in our opinion, there was a very much stronger case against Hennessee than there was against Swink.Hennessee goes home justified,Swink goes in stripes and shackles,condemned.There has been a miscarriage of justice some-where.

It is understood that Mr.Williams told the North Carolina statesmenthattheamountsoriginally~raskedforbytheNorthCarolina~bankerscax'd.be had and the money is avail- able a&goon as the -banks meet the government requirements in.putting up the proper collateral.The com- mittee representing the*Greensboro clearing house told Mr.Williams sev- eral days ago that about $300,000 would be needed and tnis amount istobeplacedintheGreensborona- tional banks. Secretary Williams said that thedepartmentwouldinsistupon.the banks in the four cities above men- tioned loaning the money to other banks at a reasonable rate of inter- est.It was explained that all bank- ing institutions in the State should be allowed the use of the currency but that it was impossible for the govern= ment to.deal with more than four cities in each State,therefore the en-.tire loan apportioned to North Caro- lina will be distributed in four cities and these cities are to loan to otherbanksdesiringthemoney. _Serene annRAPTERATE, Nine Thousand Automobiles LicensedintheState. With nearly 9,000 automobiles li-censed by the Secretary of State,it is estimated that not less than $6,- 000,000 is invested in these machines by the people of North Carolina andthatthetotalwillreachnear$8,000,- 000 before the end of the year.Secre-tary of State Grimes has again called the attention of sheriffs,chiefs-of- police and other offictals to section 21 of the automobile law,which’makesitincumbent,on these officers to re- rr all automobiles not registered.11 believed there are many such ma-chines in the State.» several days‘orm of bowelcuredsoundandwell4oneoftwodosesofChamberlain's Colic,and Dia:Remedy,as is often ‘August 26,1913.| GOVERNORS WORKED ROADS. Thousands.Responded to the Procla-mation of the Governor Of MissouriForVolunteerRoadWork. Kansas City Dispatch,20th. With blistered hands ahd sore mus-cles 50,000 enthusiastic good-roadworkers!quit their work tonight in Missouri after a strenuous day spentin“pulling Missouri out of the mud.” Good humor was everywhere in evi-dence and nearly every mah declared he intended to return tomorrow. with the work of Gov.Elliott W. Major and Gov.George H.Hodges, of Kansas,who had volunteered tohelpthe’Missouri executive,bothGovernorsdeclaredtheywouldbeup early tomorrow and would make upforlosttime. Governor and Mrs.Hodges were the guests of Governor and Mrs.Ma-jor.The two Governors donned their overalls.and,setting vut from Jeffer- son City early this morning,wereamongthefirsttogetonthefieldof action.Mrs,Hodges aided in sery-ing to the workers fried chickenwhichhadbeenpreparedbyMrs.Ma-or.;Women took an important part in the campaign.The 6,000 mémbers of the Missouri Federation of Women’sclubsthroughouttheStateaidedthe movement in every way possible and thousands of farmers’wives and oth- er women prepared and served meals. “It has been one of the great days of my life,”said Governor Major.“As a boy I traveled over nothing but bad roads.I made up my mind then if I ever got a chance I would do all I could for better highways. The Governor of Arkansas has ad- vised me he has set aside September2and3forroadworkandIamhap- py at the results.” No army ever was better preparedforacampaignthanthatwhich marched forth to “pull Missouri out of the mud.”Eight thousand road overseers for weeks have been as- sembling and laying out the work to be done so sy’tematically that every squad of men was put to work with- out delay or confusion.Every city, town and hamlet was represented in the movement,and in the farming district nearly every able-bodied man enlisted. (In response to a proclamation by Gov.Major,thousands of Missouri- ans devoted two days to road work systematically planned.The work was under a pressure of enthusiasm which is doubtless expected to cre- ate a sentiment for good roads. At the close of the second day’s work it was estimated that 250,000 men had helped in the w@k and that the work done amounted in value to $1,- 500,000.The Kansas Governor is go- ing to call a road working bee and the Missouri Governor will go andhelphim.—The Landmark.) Good Farmers in Yadkin. Yadkinville Ripple. Yadkinville seems to have some good farmers as well as some good business men otherwise..Mr.F.R. Douthit made 846 bushels of wheat, the largest crop in this community. Mr.W.A.Hall seems to have beat them all as to the best yield per acre. On 10 acres he made 264 bushels ofwheat,on ten acres 320 bushels of oats,and he had 14 acres in rye from which he made 158 bushels. WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEE? Every Article of Merit that is Sold These Days is ‘Guaranteed—No Guarantee Often Means Poor Quality. There.is very little excuse for anypersontoclaimthathehasbeen “stung”on a purchase.Fifty years ago the buyer had to fook out,but to- day it is unusual to find a merchant who will not return thé money for any article that has proved unsatisfac- tory. An excellent example of this kind of fair dealing is shown by.the clean- eut guarantee that Statesville Drug Co.gives on-Dodson’s Liver ne. These people tell us that any per- son who pays 50c.for a bottle of Dod- son’s Liver Tone and does not find it ‘a gentle and most pleasant liver tonic, harmless,but a sure reliever of con-wapation,Sos a pétfect substitute forealerralcangethismoneybackjustasquickastheycangetitoutofthemoneydrawer. Dodson’s Liver Tone has practically taken the place of calomel.It is ab- solutely harmless,sure in its action and causes no restriction of.habit or diet.No wonder the drug people are glad to guarantee it,while other rem- edies that imitate the claims of Dod- son’s Liver Tone are not guaranteedatall. y oeSchoolChildren Who have fweak eyes should be supplied with glasses before resuming their studies.This is more important than many ra hings we think are necessary.

STATESVILLE AND IREDELLco Some Facts About the Town and County Compiled For the Informa-Aion of Outsiders, Mr.P.A.Bryant of The Land-mark recently compiled and publish- ed a small booklet of eight pagescontainingalotofvaluableinfor-mation about Statesville and Iredellcounty.The facts are concisely and conservatively stated—just what anoutsiderwouldwanttoknow,withouttiresomedetails.So far 20,000 ofthebookletshavebeendistributedandtheyareanexcellentadvertise-ment for the town und county.The banks,merchants,manufacturersandotherbusinessenterprisestook ‘the booklets for distribution,each concern having an advertisement ofitsbusinessprintedonthebackcoverofthebookletsittookfordistribu- tion,these to be sent to outsiders asopportunityoffers.In this way the business men sending out thebookletsadvertisetheirownbusiness while advertising their home town and county. Statesville as a Place of Residence,Statesville people are justly proudoftheirtownasaplaceofresidence—as a clean moral town.On this point the booklet says::Statesville should appeal especial- ly strong to the man who desires to live and raise his family in an atmos- phere of cleanliness of life.Follow- ing are expressions from some of our ministers: Rev.C.E.Maddry,formerly pas-tor of the First Baptist church:“I am glad to bear testimony to the wholesome moral life of Statesville. In my judgment Statesville is one ofthecleanestmoraltownsinNorth Carolina.It has a conservative,law- abiding people;it is a church-going town.There are spsendid flourishingchurchesofalldenominationsand the best feeling and spirit of unity exists between them all.Statesvillehasprohibitionthatprohibits.The sheriff and town officers see that the law is enforced and the people,re- gardless of political affiliations,sup- port them.Public sentiment is over- whelmingly for law and order.States- ville is a town where righteousness isexaltedinpublic«nd private life. Statesville is free from low dives and immoral sections.There aré no places or forms of public amusement which,are demoralizmg and corrupt- ing in their tendencies.In short, Statesville stands for righteousness, law and order.” Rev.W.A.Lutz,pastor of the Lutheran church:“lL have resided in Statesville several years and find it to be,in many respects,the best town in my acquaintance.The per- sonnel of the citizens is far in ad- vance of most towns of its size,in temperance sentiment,in the observ- ance of the Lord’s Day,in educa- tional facilities,in churchliness,if the friendly relations of religious de- nominations and in the healthful- ness Of the climate.” Rev.J.H.Pressly,pastor of the First Associate Reformed Presby- terian church:“The Golden Rule is far in the future,but as a com- munity we are coming into sight of the Ten Commandments—a modern| day city and no licensed evil.” Rev.Harold Turner,former pas tor of Broad Street Methodist church: “T take pleasure in handing you here- with my reasons for saying that ‘Statesville is the best town in North Carolina’to live in from a moral standpoint.It is a town of splendid churches;it is a church going town;it has «most excellent graded school system,second to noneintheState;the municipal governmentandthepeoplekeepitabsolute- ly dry:it is a place where prohibi tion does prohibit.I can furnish seventeen other reasons if they will be of any use.”Rev.C.E.Raynal,pastor of the First Presbyterian church:“From a moral point of view,I believeStatesvilletobethebesttownI}know.I have lived in five States “4 kaye known several towns ofvarioussizesineachufthese.Nei only is it true that the men of larger influence in Statesville endeavor to provide things honest in the sight of God and men,but we have also a general citizenship unusually staunch and trustworthy.From a religiouspointofviewwehaveapeoplethatattendandsupportthechurches. Generations of training have resulted| in a sentiment that upholds every| good work.The attractive church buildings,the large attendance,upon their services and the generous provisionmade-for all of the benevo- lent causes which they represent,show the loyalty of our people to their religious convictions.A_fine spirit exists between the various de-nominations and they all work to- gether as:one body in God's service.And now,finally,the real foundation of morality and ot»religious being found in the home life of any people, we have a simplicity and integrity in the home training that can be de-pended on for the equipment of the younger generation.There are no very rich people to set a false stand- ard in social life,and there are few very poor people’to constitute a pau- per class with the.problems that they represent.The comfortable and hon- est middle class,marked with plenty,but not excess,is the rule.In thesethingsIhavesetforththetruebasisofallpr&sperity in things material as well as spiritual ang I am very gladtobeacitizenofStatesville,‘TheBestTown~in'North Carolina,’”Educational Facilities.

The President and Mr.Tumulty,aid- ed by Thomas.J.Pence of the Demo- cratic national committee,set their forces to work and the result was an almost unanimous vote in the caucus to take up currency immediately af-ter the passage of the tariff bill.

Further,it is an exhibition of arrant cowardice.The average mob is com- posed in the main,generally speaking, of men who would not meet real dan- ger in the open;and their cowardice is manifest in the face that their vic- tims are nearly always people who would receive full punishment at the hands of the law.The Charlotte case is a notable example of the cow- ardice.A wounded negro in a hospit- al,chained and guarded.No danger that he would get away;as certain as anything can be that he would get the full limit of the law for his crime.But in the night time he is taken out and killed by a gang who bring into contempt the law they pre- tend to want to vindicate. It will probably be offered as an excuse for this lynching that there have been many murders in Mecklen- burg recently and no executions.But why didn’t these brave spirits’who would avenge-murder begin on some- body who had escaped the law?A few years ago the acquittal of a murderer in Charlotte was denounc- fed by the Charlotte papers as a gross miscarriage of justice.There ‘was an opportunity for a mob to avenge a broken law.But the man acquitted was a white man of some influence,a man who had friends. The mob doesn’t go after that sort. It hasn’t got the nerve.It is the helpless and friendless who will be punished anyhow that the mob goes after. Understand,lynch law cannot be excused.But one could have some respect for the motives of the mob if they went after the guilty who es- cape instead of picking out those who are certain to be punished. Too bad that Mecklenburg’s fine record,where there had never been a lynching;and the record of the State,in which there has been no Yynching for a half dozeh yedars, should be broken under circumstances go absolutely devoid of the shadow of excuse. Mrs.Thaw,the mother of the no- torious Harry Thaw,says her son iy being persecuted because he has some money.“If Harry had been a poor man,however,”ahe said,“they would have lethimgo after thefirsttrial, but he was punished because of his wealth which some imagined more than it is.”So far as we know Mrs. Thaw is a good woman.She has suffered much on account of her de- generate son and she naturally sticks to him closer because of his degener- acy;that is the mother-way.We have no doubt Mrs.Thaw is sincere in thinking that her son is persecuted because the family is wealthy.But shejsmuch mistaken.Itis theeffort of the wealth to save him that keeps him before the publrc.Had he been a@ poor man he would doubtless have been sentenced to the electric chair. If not and he hadbeen sent to the criminal insane asylum that wouldtruvebeenthelastwfhim.“ne wou not have ‘kept the courts busy_with attempts to effect a legal escape,be- cause he would not have had the mon- ey to hire lawyers.If Mrs.Thaw would keep Harry out of the limelight she should,shut off the money sup-ply. There is-one thifig that can be said for the Charlotte papers—they call- ed a spade a spade in denouncing the murder (lynching)in that town Mon- day night,properly’denouncing the purpetrators of the deeds as cow- ards,and making it clear that they thought sthe officers failed in their duty.It requires courage for a news-paper to take this stand.While the Charlotte papers say the lynchers do mot represent Charlotte,we have no doubt they represent a much strong- er sentiment there than the papers fare to admit.The truth is lynchinghesmanysympathizersinthiscoun-try.We are improving in that:re-Spect,we trust,but when the occasion arises the brute crops out.cf [aaeenencteriereneaieneetemmienns ;The hotel proprietor at Rocky‘Mount served wine and beer with meals,the wine and beer being listed ‘on the menu card..He was haled in- to the recorder’s court and fined $200 for violating the lawbut :got the fine femitted in the Superior Court— -Sadge Conner—on the ground that he_faldn't know he was violating the law, ? “that nobedy had told him he was,and’ he will be good hereafter,etc.Any- body who believes.that a man:with sense enough -to run a hotel didn’t know that serving wine and beer with meals ‘that were paid for was plain retailing,should be bored for the ii plied and was turned gown,a strong petition being presented in opposition to any further extension of this priv- ilege.A local attorney,who opposed the granting of the license,agsert- ed that Asheville has many physi- cians who give liquor-preseriptions to other than bona fide patients,and he further declared that “there are phy- sicians here (in Asheville)who should be doing time on the’county,roads,” Pretty rough on the doctors but true no.doubt.There is no community in which liquor is sold on.prescription that doctors do not violate the law. They give liquor prescriptions often when they know the liquor isn’t abso- lutely necessary.A few of them give them liberally for tne business there is in it.The great majority do not’ want to violate the law,but like the unjust judge in Scriptufe,they give the prescriptions because of the im- portunities of friends and customers. Therefore,the doctor who does.not want to be forced ‘into doing things his conscience can’t approve,should discourage the selling of liquor on prescription. The work of the Democratic caucus of the House of Congress,which is considering the currency bill,has been greatly retarded by the ab) sence of Democratic members.In a public statement Mr.Underwood, the House leader,says the currency bill is being delayed solely on ac- count of the absence of Democratic members,and further: Chairman Glass could,have passed his bill by this time if a quorum had remained in the caucus,as prac-tically all the important items have been voted upon.Without a quorum those having the bill in charge arecompelledtomaketermswithanob- jector no matter how unreasonable his demands may be.No battle can be won with camp followers and no leg-islative programme can be carried out when the men intrusved with the peo- ple’s business become stragglers.I regard it to be the first duty of menwhoareelectedtoCongresstobepresentwhenthebusinessoftheC:n- gress and their party 1s being trans-acted.” Well said.Their constituents should take notice of the members who go away and neglect the busi- ness entrusted to them. President Wilson sppears to be en- tirely on safe ground and to have the country with him in the Mexican matter.It is said there was much op- position in official circles in Washing- ton to his sending Lind to Mexico. The advantage of that move is now apparent.We have given.the Mexi- can government an opportunityand it is not our fault if somethingpAr-pens., Judging by some remarks in the Salisbury Post anent the Charlotte lynching,we judge that the Post thinks the Charlotte papers assumed the “holier-than-thou”pose when the lynching occurred in Salisbury a few years ago,None of us can with safety put on airs about these mat- ters.We don’t know when it will happen to us. w., ~*Slavery in the Philippines. Washington Dispatch. Slavery in the full meaning of the word exists roughout the Philip- pines,even in the city of Manila,and peonage is general in the islands,ac- cording to a special report Commis-sioner Dean C.Worcester has madetotheinsulargovernment.It has.not been received here by the WarDepartment,but copies are in thehondaofotherofficials.:ePNipines Mm some parts vt whe isiand commonly capture children and sellthemintoslaveryforprofit;some are sent to China,w they are dressedinnativefashion.Some children havebeenenticedfromtheirhomesb:slave agents upon promises of schol-arships in schools,and some of these,in an instance which Mr.Worcester reports in detail,wore sold arid oth-ers farmed out for money. He cites the case of a 13-year-old girl bought for some pigs,rice,chick-ens and a cloak.The Supreme Courtoftheislandsreleasedtheslavetrad-er on the ground that no-crime had been committed because no physical force had been used.This one case,Mr.Worcester says,has blocked oth-er slavery prosecutions.

It seems that Federal Judge Speer of Georgia,who is being investigat-ed by the judiciary committee of the House of Congress,is a very unpop- ular man in his home State..Dis- cussing the case the Augusta Chroni- cle says “Judge Speer’s ‘kingly airs and.graces,’his excessive vanity,or his supercilious manner will,in no way,weigh against him in the trial of his case.”But,on the other hand, neither.will.“the amusing pleas”that Speer is the champion of the common people,the foe of biz business and thesoleremainingcurbuponcorporate aggression,avail him anything.Speer is going before a court,now,and only the question of infraction of the law will be considered.The editor of the Chronicle saysthatherefusedtohelpthegovern- ment agent who was conducting theinvestigationintoJudgeSpeer’s con- duct,not because he Toa nothingagainsthim,but because the people of the district had already put up with him for more than a quarter of acentury,and he had only a few morerstoservebefore{being retiredytheagelimit—“we thought the and most charitable thing to do was to let him go quletly out of of- fice,unwept,unhonored adn unsung.” To an observer at this distance, says the Greensboro News,it appears to be the sentiment of the G ipaperthatthechargesagainstJoles Speer are not as strong as it might wish.The principal thing against him seems to be,not his nepotism, not his tyranny,his favoritism or his graft upon the railroads,but his detestable personal character.ill Georgia hates the man with an in- tense and bitter hatred,if the Chron- icle is to be trusted.Yet at the same time they admit that his unfitness for office does not lie in any mental dis-qualification.

The condition of Officer Wilson, was done. to the county jail.The mayor saidhedidnotanticipatetroublebut thought it best for the negro to be sent to jail.When the sheriff wasnotifiedthatanursewouldhaveto accompany the negro he said there was no place in the jail for a nurse, At the coroner’s inquest Policemen Earnhardt,and Tarleton,who were on guard at the hospital,testified that they were-in the hall when themobenteredthroughthedoordown- stairs and that when they went to investigate they were met by menwithmasksovertheirfacesgndwith pistols in their hands.The officerswerecoveredandorderedtoholdup their hands,which they were com- —to do.Earnhardt stated he eard the door fly open and in a min- ute the mob was swarming up thestairwayandintothehallwherehewas.He attempted to close the doorwhereMcNeelywasandbeforehe could get it shut or draw his gun,he was surrounded.He stated that he had just pulled his gun from his k- et when his hand was grasped and his pistol taken away from him.-He was then searched and his second pis- tol taken.“I was held in the corner,” said:Earnhardt,“with a pistol on each side of my face and with three men guarding me.{¢knew that I stood no chance,as there were 30 or 40 men in the room.They quickly had the negro outside and when he was outsi the three men who were guarding me left hurriedly and I fol-lowed them. “IT told one of the nurses to phone No.88 (police station)and to tellthemtohurryatoncewithhelpasa’mob was after the negro.The nursewasnotallowedtogettothephone and I could not.I followed the men who had guarded me until I came to where McNeely lay snot in the street and I never left him until aid ar-rived.” Earnhardt stated that he tried to get the mob to go pack,first by threatening them and afterward pleading with them not to take the negro,but they paid no attention to him.He could recognize no voices or faces and could not tell whether they were country,people or town people.He said he might have shot,but he knew the two men could stand ho chance against such a mob and as a matter of saving his own life he had to behave himse?f.He said not a shot was fired in the hospital and that.the mob was not at the hospital over three minutes;that as soon as they left they acattered in every di- rection,leaving the negro,as theysupposed,dead in the street.

The coroner’s jury found that Mc-Neely came to his death at the hands of a mob unknown to the jury. The mayor of Charlotte,with |thesanctionoftheboardofaldermen, offers a reward of $1,000 for evi- dence to convict the lynchers. Sheriff Wallace of Mecklenburg stated that he.was notified at 9o'clock Monday night that a mob was forming on the square but was toldbythepolice:that it was not true.‘After he had gone to bed,the sheriff said,he was called up and told amobwasformingatanotherpoint.He investigated and found nothingalarming,‘r he was advised ofthetroubleatthehospitalbutitwasalloverbeforehegotthere.Judge Shaw Submits Some Remarks,Judge Shaw is holding court inMecklenburgandTuesdaymorninghesummonedthegrandjuryinto the hospital court.“While honest.men wereasleepthismorning,”Judge Shaw, with their faces covered,Judge Shaw continued:“Why would a group of men com-mit such @ crime as this?-This is aquestionthatconcernsus.,It.wasdone,gentlemen of the jury,because they feel assured of protection and ofsafetyfromthehandsofthelaw,Itwasdonebecauseahopewithinthemthattheywouldworkouttheirsalva- tion through perjury of the witnesses, through .perjury ur the _officers, through perjury of the courts.This is the dumantetne danger of instances like this. “Now,gentlemen of the jury,Ineednotdelaytotellyoutodoyourdutyinthismatter.It is your busi- ness to go to the bottom of it and find out not only who were the actual perpetrators of the deed,but who lent the moral and sympathizing side to the crime.Do your duty,no mat- ter what the consequences.You are not concerned about these.The courts will do their duty when you do yours. “T will tell you what your county needs and what it needed this morn- ing.It needed a sheriff like one in South Carolina who had the courageandthebackbonetostandupanddo his duty.We are told by the news-paper accounts of this crime that two policemen leveled their pistols on the mob that wrought deatn to a negro in the hospital,but two big pistols in.the hands of men who were not diligent as to their duty were as harmless as a toy pistol in the hands of a child.”Judge Shaw later ex- plained that he meant no reflection on Sheriff Wallace but said that a man with the cotrage of the South Caro- lina sheriff was needed at the hospi- tal when the mob arrived Officers Criticised. Observer Editorial. The small mob which sneaked just before daylight to the door of an in- stitution devoted to the work of min- istering religion amung colored peo- ple was representative of no element except the riff-raff that habitually hangs around cafes and the red-light district at late hours of the night. This statement must /e qualified in one way.That mob represented a sentiment well known by it to exist also among some members of the po- lice,the man wounded by the vic- tim of the mob being a member of the police force.We do not at pros- ent undertake to say whether at least morally positive assyrances of police non-interference had been received.It is certain that the police neadquar- tra .(as also the sheriff and the night newspaper reporters)were circum- stantially informee from _several quarters of a lynching afoot:and that the newspaper men,believing, jlater guided themsezves by the story to the .spot almost on the.mo- ment,while the officers could not be gotten interested enough.’Thereandthentwopolicemenwithheavy revolvers in their hands permitted half a dozen mobmen coming up a narrow &tairway to “overpower”them without a shot fired on either side. We cannot assume that these police- men displayed moral cowardice for the reason usual in such cases,namé- Iy,that the lynching impressed them as a popular demoustration or act.We have no*reason to believe ththeywerephysicalcowards.WH®‘ttien,did they permit the mob to wo its.will?It further transpires thattheyprofessinabilitytoidentifyany member of the mob That mob must‘have been composed or men and ner?well known to them practically wit out exception,and those who enteredweremaskedonlyjust enough not absolutely to compel rec-ognition,while few or none of thoseoutsideweremaskedatall. In the light of these facts we canbutsaythatthecountywasvery pootly served by those upon whom the immediate responsibility for averting threatened lawlessness and murderfell.Gov.Craig Denounces the Lynching.

Mr.Poole,who always does every-thing possible to make his guests en-+joy themselves,proposed ‘acting as eader to one of the nearby moun- tain tops,on a kind of Sunday school excursion trip.Among the.excur-sionists were Messrs.W.A.Bristol of Statesville,Tom Stewart ofCharlotteand.W.W.Pickard of Chapel Hill,besides a number of la- dies and children,among the latter being Mr.Poole’s two small boys,Rom and Rayford.Everything went along smoothly,the top was nearly reached,the party stopped to rest and were being entertained by Mr. Bristol,who had mounted a stump and was pouring forth all the ora-tory at his command in a speech, “The Sunday School,or,Setting an Example for ‘the Ghitd,”when he was suddenly and ‘unceremoniously in-terrupted by Mr.Szewart making a tidestep and bursting inte language not at all in keeping with Mr.Bris- tol’s speech.However,Mr.Bristol’s mind,or rather his words,changed end he joined Mr.Stewart on thechorus.Of course this sudden change of sentiment aroused some ex- was only plain,every-day cussing, and caused no sensation. Mr.Poole’s eye quickly detected the cause of all of the excitement—a huge copperhead snake,coiled in the act of striking at any one who hap- pened to get within his reach.He also saw his two barefooted boys running towards the center of excite- ment to ascertain the trouble.Real- izing their danger,Mr.Poole became greatly excited,and waving his arms and doing a war dance that would have put an Indian to shame,he yell- ed at his boys,“Stop!Don’t you know it is just as dangerous to step where a snake has been as to be bit- ten by one?”Seeing that this line of reasoning was having no effect on Rom and Rayford,he became fran- tic,turned white in the face and look- ed as though great pressure was be- ing brought to bear upon his tongue by his mind to utter something that would have the desired effect in bringing his boys to a realization of the danger they were rushing heed- lessly into.Swelling up and calling upon every ounce of energy in his body he expostulated,“Rom,Ray- ford!stay where you damn are!” This had the desired effect and Mr.Pogle looked around as though hewasreallyrelieved.The snake wassoonkilledbutnotuntilithadforcedMr.Poole to discover his talent as an“out-of-the-ordinary cusser.nee THE THAW MONEY A CURSE.

Writing of the case of Harry Thaw, the wealthy young degenerate who married a woman of fame,murdered Stanford White,a former lover of his wife,and was sent to a criminal in- sane asylum from which he recently escaped,the New-York World says editorially:. “Was there’ever a greater curse than the Thaw moncy?It has been an affliction to its possessors from the first.It has burdened society with profligacy,seandal and crime.

THE TEMPORARY TEACHERS. We Should Encourage Those Who Would Qualify For Permanent Work. Greensboro News. The school teacher in North Caro- lina has as hard a row to hoe as any class in the State.To our shame be it said,they have more obstacles to overcome ‘than the teachers of almost any other State,for North Carolina is still very near the bottom in edu- cgtional matters.‘As a profession it is more important to our civic life than any other;ana,popular belief to the contrary notwithstanding,it is one of the most difficult to acquire. Considering our method of hiringteachersthatlaststatementappears farcical.But the trouble is that in too many cases we do not hire teach- ers at all;we simply hire educated men and trust to luck as regards their ability to impart their information to others.Almost any young fellow who holds a college degree can ob- tain a position at the head of some school at a salary that,to a boy just out of college,is enviable.Ask the members of any graduating classwhattheyexpecttodoafterleaving school and we venture the assertion that,with the exception of those who are going to continue their studies in some institution of higher learning, four-fifths of them will answer,“Oh, I expect to teach for a while,”and after that go into law,business,medi- cine,or the church.But nearly all of them are going to teach for a while. This we consider one of the most serious drawbacks to teaching as aprofessioninNorthCarolina.Thesemenarenotinterestedintheirwork from a scientific standpoint;all theywantismeansofmakingalivingwhiletheyare“getting on their feet” Teaching—real teaching—is a science as difficult and as exact- ing as medicine.Yet many believe that anybody can do it.What sanemanwouldhireadoctorwhowas “practicing medicine for a while”be- fore going into law?To treat ourbodieswerequireamanwhohasde-voted his life to the art of heazngandhasspentyearsinpreparation for his task.Yet we are content to leave the developnient of the minds | of our children to men who are doing | that work simply because they cannot | get.anything better at the time.A/quack doctor can only kill;a quack|teacher can leave 4 living:ruin as evi-dence of his work.A guack doctor'smistakesendatatombstone;whodarestosayhowfaraquackteach-er’s errors may fling their baleful in-fluence?_.We are free to admit that under _present conditions we have done re-matkably well.Our teachers as abodyhavedoneyeomanservicefor the State,but we submit that that is true:only because there is among them a large number of men and wo- men who are fitted for the task,andwhohavetakentheleadership.Thesepeopleareslavingtheirlivesawayforapittance,and there is small hope of their ever being adequately re-warded,because every spring ourcollegeturnlooseahordeofter- ary teachers to compete with’m for a few years and then abandon the work to a fresh crowd. Our real teachers are keeping upagallantfightagainstoverwhelm-ing odds,but isn’t rt time that werelievedthemfromtheburden?If the patrons of our schools demand that the teachers be none but men who have decided to give their lives to the work,the rewards of the pro-fession will immediately rise,and there will be far greater inducements for more men of ability to go into the work.If our educational systemisevertobecomewhatitoughtto be we must get rid of the temporaryorattheheadofourschools,at Joining a Procession Helps.

The President’s Position. The President in his statement to- day announced the position of theUnitedStatestobeasfollows:No armed intervention.Strict neutrality “forbidding the ex- portation of arms or munitions of war of any kind from the United States to any part of the RepublicofMexico.” Under no circumstances to “be the partisans of either party to the con- test that now distracts Mexico or constitute ourselves the virtual um- pire between them.’ To urge all Americans to leave Mexico at once and to assist them to get away in every way possible. To let every one in Mexico who assumes to exercise authority know that this government “shall vigilant- ly watch the fortunes of those Amer- icans who cannot get away ond shell hold those responsible for their suf- ferings and losses to a definite reck- oning.That can and will be made plain beyond the possibility of a mis- understanding,”said the President.

The reply of the Huerta govern-ment rejecting the American propos-als,written by Foreign inister Gamboa,suggested the following al-terative policy for the United States.Reception of a Mexican ambaasa- dor in Washington.
