Tenant House Burned and the Origin of the Fire a Mystery—Tracks attheOtherFireNot‘Made By LesterCurrentandHeWasReleasedFromJail—Other Fires. Mr.Wm.A.Murdock of Cool Spring township suffered his thirdloss.by fire of supposed incendiaryoriginFridayevening,when a dwell-ing house on hig place occupied byMr.and Mrs.Edgar Abernathy was totally destroyed.with its contents.The house was located within a short distance of Mr.Murdock’s pres- ent residence and was.formerly oc- cupied by him.Mr.Abernathy was away with a party of threshers and Mrs.Abernathy was at the home ofrelativeswhenthefireoccurred.All their household effects were burned. Mr.Murdock had $100 insurance on the house but there was no insurance on the contents. Friday night’s fire was discovered while the Murdock family was at sup- per and the flames had gained such4 headway that nothing could be saved from the house.A large number of citizens were soon on the scene and Sheriff Deaton and other officers went out from Statesville in automobiles to aid in the search for the person or persons responsible for the fire.The investigations of the sheriff coniin- ued throughout the night,but no defi- nite conclusions were reached.In fact the fires are just as much of a mystery as ever.Mrs.Murdock and her son,Master Harvey Murdock, were at.the house which was destroy- ed about 7 o'clock to milk the cows, which had been kept there since the burning of the Murdock barn,and they testified that there Was no fire on the premises when they left the house.A short time later other members of the Murdock family passed the house en route home from the field and they did not see any signs of fire.Within another hour the house was in flames. Lester Current Released. Seon after Sheriff Deaton reached Mr.Murdock'’s Friday night he was informed that Mr.T.C.Crouch,who was then in the crowd,had declared that he made the tracks which had resulted in the arrest of Lester Cur- rent on the charge of burning Mr.Murdock’s barn Tuesday night.Mr. Crouch was called and soon convincedthesheriffthathewasthemanwhomadethetracks.For certain reasonshehadmadeatriptoandfromCur- rent’s house on the night the barn was burned and described the route he had taken.Examination of his shoes showed that they were the same size of those worn by Current and .an cxtra piece of leather on the solé of one shoe was similar to that on Currefit’’shoe.Mr.Crouch returned home immediately after the burning of the barn and did not hear of the investigation of the tracks and the arrest of Current until Thursday or Friday. When he arrested Current Wed- nesday morning Sheriff Deaton told the party which was with him that if any one could be found who said that he made the tracks supposed to be Current’s,that Cyrrent would be given the benefit thereof.After Hear- ing Mr.Crouch’s statement the sher- iff was convinced that the tracks were made by him and when he re- turned to Statesville Saturday morn- ing he immediately arranged with Justice Lazenby to have Current re- leased on hig own recognizance forhisappearanceatSuperior’Court.Current was taken.from jail about,10 o’clock and was sent to his home in the sheriff's qutomobile.Before Teav- ing he told the sheriff that he did not blame him for arresting him on the evidence that had developed,but that he felt eure something would turn up to show he was innocent. Saw Mill Burned. Mr.Arthur J.Beaver’s saw mill, located in the vicinity of his home in Cool Spring township,was destroy- ed by fire during Friday night and Saturday morning.The loss is es- timated at $500 with no insurance. The fire is supposed to have startedfromsparksfromthesawmillboiler some time Friday night but was not discovered until about 6 o’clock Sat- urday morning,when Mr.D.Carter saw the smoke and gave the alarm. When Mr.Carter reached the scenethemillbuildingproperandthe woodwork around the engine had been burned and the fire was eatingitswayintotheslabsandlumber piled about the mill.Mr.Beaver and a goodly number of neighbors soongatheredandthewaterpumponthe engine was put to work drawing wa- ter from the a the premises. The water secured by this means and from nearody streams was used tochecktheflamesandsaveotherlum-ber stacked about the mill.The number of fires of supposedincendiaryorigininCoolSpringtownshiprecentlyledsometobe-lieve that probably the saw mill wasfiredbyanincendiary,but Mr.Beay-er is of the opinion that his fire wasduetosparksgettineirthesaw and startingflameswhichslowlymadetheirway during the night to the other mate- rial which’was destroyed. *A-dispatch from’Wilmington says: A monster spern whale,77 feet long, floated up on a high tide:at MyrtleGrovesoundnearhere-and died.The leviathan is an object of curiosityandalargenumberofpeoplehave taken the opportunity to look at it.Thewhale is the largest ever seeninthesepartsandfsoneofthefewthateverhavemadetheirappear- ALLEGED FIRE BUG ARRESTED. Colored Boy Charged With StartingaFireButtheEvidenceWas.Weak. Carlee Glover,a negro boy appar-ently about,14 years old,was given a hearing before Justice Lazenby Jate yesterday afternoon on the charge of setting’fire to a pile ofclothesinaroomorthehomeof Clem.Garner,a blind negro man,inwhichtheboyandhisfather,Tom. Glover,nave been living.Carlee is a bad boy,without a doubt,but there was io conclusive evidence that he had knowingly started the fire. Smoke.wus seen coming from theroomoccupiedbyGloverearlySun- day night and-a-neighbor who rush- ed to the house found that a pile ofclotheslyingonthefloorintheroom was in flames.The <ilover boy wassittingintheyardbutsaidthathe had not noticed the fire.The boy’s father was away at work and he was at home alone.He testified that he had been in the room to get some- thing to éat and had thrown a match on the floor;that at the time the fire was discovered by his neighbor he was sitting outside until he could get a match from some one passing to light the lamp in the house. Two buckets of water put the dre out and there was no damage except to the suit.of clothes that was burn- ed.Clem Garner,who is not total- ly blind,was lying on a bed in an- other room of the house at the time but had not detected the fire. The Glover boy has served a term on the gang for obtaining money by false pretence. Winston's New Building and the In- ternal Revenue Office. By request of Internal Revenue Commissioner Osborn,Collector Brown went to!Winston Saturday to examine the plans of the new Federal building there.The Winston people wanted an entrance made not pro- vided for in the plans.This entrance would give access to rooms which it is said will be made for the internal revenue office and the architect re- fused to make the change unless the internal revenue commissioner ap- proved it,Cellector Brown,who ex-amined the plans at the request of Commissioner Osborn,decided that the entrance was necessary and prop- er as a matter of business,whethertheroomsareusedforacollector's office or some other purpose. The interval revenue office will not be moved to Winston for the pres- ent;that much is settled.But it is an open secret that quarters are to be paovinet for the office in this new building and when the building is completed a strong pull will be made to locate the office there. Woke Up the Wrong Passenger. It seems that people who loaf about Eidson’s store,about four miles from town on the Turnersburg road,have had what they called fun by hailing people who pass in automobiles,get- ting them to stop and then telling them they were not wanted.AnywaywhenDr.H.F,Long passed there Friday night in his automobile,en route to Turnersburg to see a pa- tient,he was"valled and told he was wanted.The -doctor went back to the store and when he found that the call was gonsidered a joke by the bystandefS he was not pleased and pretty soon he swatted Ed.Harmon a few.3 It is probable that the stopping of automobiles will ‘not ‘hereafter beconsideredajokeatEjdson’sestoreé. Restrain the Dogs. Some years ago the board of al- dermen passed an ordinance restrict- ing the movements of dogs in States- ville.»The ordinance long since be- came a dead letter but the recent ac- tivity of canines may result in its revival or a more stringent ordi- nance.Dogs have killed many chick- ens recently and in other ways thosethatwanderaboutin.unrestrained freedom are more or less of a nui- sance.People who own dogs shouldkeepthemathomeorcontrolthemwhentheygoabroadandanyactiontakenbythemunicipalauthorities to restrain canine liberty will,it isbelieved,be much appreciated by thegreatmajorityofthecitizenship.

The law will!be interpreted,in the de- termination of what the department should do,by independent,and,I hope,impartial judgments as to the true and just meaning of substan- tive statutes of»the United States.” ** * The McNabb incident is the first severe jolt the Wilson administration has received.It is vory unfortunate that the Attorney General consented to the postponement of the San Fran- it is doubly unfortunate that the postponement was the re- sult of the fact that one of the men under.indictnient is the’son of a prominent official of the administra- tion.There may*have been no in-tention whatever on the part of the Attorney General,or those who sought the postponement,to shield anybody.We do not believe there rwas.But the circumstances are such that it will be suspected,and with some ground,that this was the pur- pose.Under the circumstances,there- fore,the request for postponement shoula have been refused.Oneshouldavoidtheveryappearariceof evil and if the Attorney General hadgiventhiscaseproperconsideration’he would probably have realized the delicacy of the situation,and ordered the trial to proceed.Having,it seems, worked up the cases under difficulty,being confronted with powerf-1!polit- ical and social influences to defeat theendsofjustice,Mr.McNabb was not- urally aggrieved by the AttorneyGeneral’s course and suspected that his chief hed yielded to influence.But Mr.MecNabb’s theatrical display causes one to suspect.that his course was in some degree prompted by par- tisan motives.The conclusion is ir- resistible.He could have quietly iaid the facts before the President;he could have told that official,in proper language,his feelings and hisopinionsandaskedhim,if that course was to be pursued,to accept his res-ignation.Then if the disposition to shield,as Mr.McNabb thought,con- tinued,he could have gone into thenewspapers.But he chose that course first and there was nothing tocobutJethimgetout.The same is true of the Keceral investigator,Herrington.His course made it nec-essary to remove him.The Land-mark’s faith ‘n Woodrow Wilson issuchthatitissurehewillseetoit that no favors are shown in theseCaliforniacases.He would have donethatifhisattentionhadbeendirect- ed to the matter in a less spectacularmanner.ut Mr.Wilson wili find|that not al!of the men in office arefeparticularandasexactinginsee-acne -equal and exact justice isvheis.This case may be aAttorneyGeneral. WATTS APPOINTED COLLECTOR. Nomination Made Friday AfternoonandImmediatelyConfirmed—Pres-ident Couldn’t Refuse the RequestofSenatorSimmons. Washington Dispatch,Greensboro News. A political fight which has ‘been waged between the ractions of thepartyheadedby.Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels’on one)sideandSenatorsSimmonsandOverman on the other,was brought to a close tonight when President Wilson senttotheSenatethenominationofAl-ston D.\Watts of Statesvile to be collector of internal revenue for thewesterndistrictofNorthCarolina.A new record was made for confirm- ing a’nomination when the Senate,within a few+minutes after Watts’ name was received upon the floor,al- lowed his confirmation to be made without being referred to a commit-tee,which is the usual procedure. It has been known for several days that the President had decided to name Watts.This.decision was reached after the President had given more time to those for and against the Iredell man than he has to any other appointment of twice the mag- nitude of ‘the collectorship job.In naming Watts it-can be said,with- out fear of violating any.confidence, that the President was deeply sensi-ble of the justice of the fight made against Mr.Watts;he was convincedthatthechargethatWattswasnota progressive and had never been in sympathy with the President’s poli; cies was well founded.He :coulnot,however,turn down the personal request of Senators Simmons and Overman,who vouched for the ability and good character of Watts.And it is equally true that but for the high regard which President Wilson has for Senator Simmons he would not have considered the name of Watts after having been told all that has been laid before him in regard to the¢ appointment.Senator Simmons today is one of the most powerful men in the United States Senate and when he told the President that he wantedWattsappointedandvouchedforhis integrity and ability,Mr.Wilson could not refuse the request. The only other precedent for mak- ing the confirmation of a man nomi- nated for a Federal office without be- ing referred to a committee,by a strange coincidence,was also a Statesville man.It was the nomina- tion of “Pomp”Long for postmaster at Statesville.Long was a Republi- can,and as in the case of Mr.Watts, his political enemies had prepared to fight his confirmation before the com- mittee.When his nomination was sent in it was quietly,but quickly, confirmed before anyone had an op- portunity to interpose an objection. The naming of Watts is a signal victory for the followers of Senators Simmons and Overman and a defeat for Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Mr.Daniels,along with former Gov- ernor Glenn,E.J.Justice of Greens- boro and other prominent “original Wilson”men,had told the President that Watts was a reactionary;was not in sympathy with his policies and that his appointment meant aslapinthefacetothemenwhohad stood by him when he needed voted. “I have no animosity against any- one,”said A.D.Watts tonight.“I am very grateful to all of my friends who supported me in this fight and I shall be glad to get back home.” 27th,to The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: The nomination of Watts was sent to the Senate this afternoon and con- trary to the usual custom of the Sen- ate,was confirmed a few minutes la- ter.When the news was telephoned him at the finance committee room, Mr.Watts was incredulous,as the nomination had net come in with the first batch of names received this morning from the White House,but came later.A large party of North Carolinians were_in the office and showered congratulations on Colonel Watts over the successful issue of the long fight, When asked what he had to say,Mr.Watts replied:“I have no hard feelings against anybody and am very grateful to my friends.”‘ Since the recommendation of Watts was made Ly Senator Over- man and concurred in by Senator Simmons a vigorous and relentless effort has been made to block his nomination,It was reported that FE. J.Justice,who is considering enter- ing the contest for the United States Senate against Senator Overman,led this fight.Colonel Watts was charg- ed with being a reactionary and with having defeated progressive meas- ures in the State Legislature. Another effort to block him hinged on his having opposed Mr.Wilson in the pre-convyention campaign.The enemies of Mr.Watts intimated that the recommendation of the two North Carolina Senators would be ignored and that President Wilson would consult with a member of his cabi-net about the distribution of patron-age in the State.Frequently in these dispatches your correspondent has cited incidents which showed that President Wilson would follow the ad- vice of the two Senators and strong-ly intimated that Colonel Watts would ultimately be named.Today thePresidentfinallyreachedthecaseand justified these predictions. Mr.Watts announces that he will immediately resign from the State Legislature.In the event the Legis- lature is called in extra session,a new election will have to be called to fill the vacancy.Should there be no extra session this will not be neces-sary.

Postmaster General Burleson has ordered,through the Secretary of theTreasury,12,071,480,000 stamps,the number estimate to be needed for the fiscal year beginningJuly1.-The order calls for 11,980,-500,000 ordinary stamps of variousdenominations,20,000,000 special de- livery stamps 70,989,000 “postage due”stamps;31,400,000 stamp books and 1,291,000 coils of stamps to be used in vending machines, Two hundred tons of fuel oil on board the steel tank steamer Mo- hawk,owned by the Standard OilCompany,exploded Friday while thevesselwasatBneneroffTompkins- ville,Staten Island,New Yorkbay,killing five risa and injuring six others.A dozen more are unac- counted for,but are believed to havebeenrescued.The explosion is.said to have been,caused by a helper car- rying a lighted candle into a danger- ous place.

With a view to averting the threat- ened strike of 90,000 railway em- ployes east of Chicago,the Senate Thursday rushed through the pas- sage of amendments to the Erdman mediation act,sought by the railways and railway em- ployes as Yrording suitable machin- ery for settlement of their pending disagreements.The amendment en- larges the board of arbitration pro- vided under the Erdman act from three to six.The railways have de- clined to submit the present disputes to a board composed of only threemembers.It also provides for ap- pointment by the President of an official mediator,independent of all government bureaus,at a salary of $7,500.” Railroad From Into Ashe County, Jefferson Recorder.

TUESDAY,July 1,1913. THE NEW COLLECTOR. That Mr.A.D.Watts,who has been appointed collector of inter- nal revenue for this district,is am- ply qualified to discharge the duties of the office successfully,has not been questioned by those who know him,whether they favored his ap- pointment or not.The opposition to his appointment.was in the main bottomed on the idea,that Mr.Watts, who is a past master in the art of political manipulation,would use the prestige and the power of the office to dominate the councils of the party and dictate party policy;that he would use the influence and power given him to defeat within the party men and measures which he did not approve,even some of the measures for which Woodrow Wilson and those who believe with him stand. Having been appointed collector,Mr. Watts is now a part of the national administration and he may choose to exercise his-talents in making the office the most efficient agency pos- sible in the conduct ‘of the public business,rather than a machine for factional politics.In the old days it was charged,and with truth,that the Republican party in North Car- olina was dominated by the revenue officers.It would not be good in North Carolina to attempt that sort of thing among Democrats and The Landmark will wait until it is done before charging it. Mr.Watts says he cherishes unkind feeling toward those who op- posed him.That’s the proper spirit; and those who opposed him should give him the square deal and hope for his success. While The Landmark has no au- thority from Mr.Watts to say 50, it can assure the patriots who looking for jobs that if Mr.Watts doesn’t fill every place in the serv- ice with a Democrat,and that seon, it will be because it is beyond his power.But mighty few Democrats will fall out with him about that. no are Because the conductor refused to give him a transfer,Congressman Sisson of Mississippi refused to pay fare on a Washington street car and defied the conductor to put him off. The incident blocked traffic for quite a while and finally an impatient pas- senger paid the fare to get the cars to move.Squabbling with street car conductors or starting something on street cars seem to be a_favorite pastime with members of Congress in Washington,and we regret to note that it is the Southern Congressmen who engage in these public broils.If the street car system of the District of Columbia isn’t properly managed it is within the power of Congress to correct the trouble;and it would be more to the credit of the ntembers of Congress who engage in these broils if they would direct their energies to the work they were elected to do— correct wrongs by legislation.They should either do that or cut down their congumption of stimulants me Roe ;cteseereiataneeenenteriomieomngemecnneeenene _We should not be too hard on those Louisiana Senators for standing out against free sugar.We have had some of the same sort of doctrine preached to us down here—Durham Herald. All these years the people of Lou- isiana have demanded a_protective tariff for sugar.The cratic party of Louisiana has stood for protection for beth lumber and sugar,if our memory is not at fault. That being true,Louisiana’s repre- sentatives in Congress are but carry- ing out the will or their people in standing for this protection,and as| they were elected on that platform so far as their Stace is concerned, we are not blaming them for stand- ing by their people.The only criti- cism we have to make is that they should ask the balance of the ‘Democratic party,committed arainst the very doctrine they espouse,to surrender to one State,or to even a half dozen The Louisiana people have no-right to demand that. eeAREER ‘he oe Demo- States. ~Democrats who ‘want to see a clean aweepof all Republican officeholders are calling attention to the fact that McNabb,the San Francisco district attorney who made a play to the galleries in tendering his resigna- tion and charged the Atterney.Gen- eral with bad faith,is a hold-over Republican;and that all the hold- over Republicans are more than like- ly to do something to embarrass the administration.There is much force ins what is said)MeNabb’s display was in a great degree prompted by partisanship,no doubt,but The Land- mark regards it as fortunate that the display will focus the attention of the country on the San Francisco cases and will thus in large measure elimi- nate the danger of the wealthy and prominent defendants defeating jus- tice..

Important Matters to Be Settled in a Broad and Tolerant Spirit. State Journal. Now,we do not fear‘any great de- gree of religious persecution in North Carolina.We refer to the Charlotte incident excluding teachers of the Catholic faith from the public schools)more as an example than as of great importance in itself.What we do fear is a lack of the broad and tolerant spirit that must exist be- fore we can solve the really great and pressing problems that are before us. There are literally scores of questions that must be approached.with the op-en spirit before they can be settled, A young woman is turned out of em- ployment because she belongs to a certain church;a man points to the evils of child labor and we impugn his motives;gentlemen undertake to remedy what theybelieve to be a wrong in railroad practice,and we straightway ask what they want.

It is announced,says the Wash ington correspondent of the Greens- boro News,that the Department of Agriculture will make a thorough study of what happens to produce from the time it leaves the producer until it reaches tne consumer.A specialist on marketing perishanle produce will investigate prices re- ceived by producers,cost of trans- portation and storage,change of ownership,accumulated charges, profits and other elements.This specialist will then study conditions in yarious sections to determine the feasibility of a market news serv- ice dealing with périshable products, and also the best méthod 6f making statistics of supply and demand use- ful to the farmer or truck gardener.

Wielding the axe again on the tar-iff revision bill for the benefit of thePhousehold,the Senate Democraticcaucus’Friday night determined toputcottonsewingthreadonthefreelist.This action followed a spirit-ed debate and was carried by one voteovertheprotestofmembersofthefinancecommittee,who défended'the15percentdutywhichwascarriedinthebillasitpassedtheHouseandwhichtheSenatemajorityonthefinancecommitteedidmotalter.Those who championed this favor to the housewife argued that the rev- enue to be derived from sewing thread was inconsequential and thattobeconsistentinattemptingto. lower the cost of living the Senate should not quibble.Looking up the estimates they found that the esti-mated revenue -to be derived wasabout$225,000 a year.This,theyfigured,was a small amount to wor- ry about and on the free list cottonthreadwent,while committee mem- bers objected strenuously.All the amendments to thé cottonschedulesuggestedbythecommittee except one were adopted,includingtheincreaseonyarns,and the opposi- tion was less than had been antic- ipated,since the cotton schedule is the only one which the committee in- creased over the Underwood bill rates,§One amendment which provid- ed a 30 per cent duty on cotton goods which contained thread interwoven by means of lappets,swivel and other attachments,to form figured or fancy effects,was’stricken out,leaving such goods to carry the duty on the yarn contents only.

Neither story accompanied by an affidavit. Wilson and Buchanan Compared and Wilson Commended. Speaking at the unveiling of a statue of Stephen A.Douglas at Brandon,Vt.,the birthplace of Doug- las,Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Winois referred to President Wil.son’s relations with the Senate and compared them with conditions when President Buchanan and Senator Douglas joined issues.He said in part:“Senator Douglas signalled his en- trance to the United States Senate by a break with the President of .the United States—James Buchanan. Douglas demanded the distribution of public offices in support of his poli- cies.President Buchanan differed from Douglas and permitted the pa- tronage to be used against Douglas. “President Wilson presents the opposite attitude.He puts the pub- lic good above the public office and declines either to give out offices to Senators as compensation for their support,or to penalize those who op- pose him by denying them public patronage.Buchanan went to defeat in trying to retaliate upon Senators who opposed his policies and went topoliticaldisgraceintryingtodestroy Senaters because they would pot sup- port his policies.‘“President Wilson is attempting to inaugurate th#system that James }Monroe put into effect with success in the ‘era of good feeling’in 1823, and seeks to emulate the course of George Washington in recognizing no party organization es having any right to urge its existence as a mereagencyofpoliticaloffices.James Buchanan was on trial under the as- saults of Douglas to test whether the doctrine of retaliation upon Sena- tors could succeed.It failed. “President Wilson declines to al- low his personality to be put on trial, but under exactly similar conditions as surrounded Buchanan on the slay- ery and admission of new States is- sues,President Wilson with his cur- rency and tariff policies is putting the country to test,” An Ode to the’Blackberry.

While some good will result from the present investigation,it will not stop lobbying..The cause of the evilliestoodeep.So long as Congresshaspracticallyunlimitedpowertograntspecialfavors,there will cer- tainly be found those to ask for them,and they will ask in every known language of appeal.Public scrutiny may make thema little more subtle and insinuating,may make them stay a little bit further from thelight,but they will still strive to ac- complish their purpose,as surely ‘as the bee will seek the honey flower.The fundamental evil lies in the pow-er of Congress to pass local and special laws.Somewhat along thislinetheWorld’s Work recently said: “The machinery of legislation is cumbersome.There are thousands and thousands of private bills intro- duced every vear for private pen- sions,local buildings—all the,‘pork barrel’measures—and many pre-cious days and weeks are spent in ‘log-rolling’them through.Within the halls of Congress itself lies the remedy.It is its own master.The day it throws off the encumbrance ofprivatebusinessbillsandridsits members of the annoyances these things entail,it will give its mem- bers the opportunity to stand for great national policies,to train big men on big questions.We might then oftener find men who in Con- gress so stamped their individuality upon the public mind as to become Presidents of the United States.And such \simplification and added strength in the government is notimpossibletoconceiveinthis‘for- ward-looking era.” This is what we have had in mind when we have referred to the legis- lative branch of government as the “weak link”and noted the steps tak- en in this State towards “strength- ening the weak link.”We are forced to differ with that part of the above quotation which declares that the remedy lies within the halls of Con- gress itself,unless it means that Congress has the power to propose an amendment to the constitution of the United States.Congress can- not be relieved except by an amend- ment which will prohibit it from aerialarmamentofRussiaismakingim-mense progress,according to a reportmadebvthechiefofthearmy.staff.“The Russian.ministry of war will pot rest,”he declared,“until a fly- ing squad has been established in every army corps.‘The government|bas recently doubled the number ofdirigibles.It has acquired airships Aerial Russia “Developing ment.

A Bystander Kicked at a Dog and| Mighty Incidents Followed. “Behold,how great a matter a lit-| tle fire kindleth,”was fully exempli-| fied in Lexington the other day.| The Dispatch tells an story about it.It revolved around a| dog and a very worthless dog at that.The dog doesn't belong to anybody in particular but he had adopted the family of Policeman Johnson.Ray Conrad,having noth- ing particular to do,kicked at the dog,the canine howled and Grady Johnson,son of the policeman,re- buked Raymond.There were some words andGrady swatted Raymondon the jaw.Raymond didn’t reply and Jess Hedrick,a bystander,observ- ed to Raymond that he wouldn’t let anybody peck him like that.Grady, already “het up,”resented Hedrick’s remark and invited him to take it up. Hedrick didn’t care to.Hedrick for got the incident and that is all he remembered until he “came to”an hour afterward.Grady hunted up his pa,Policeman Johnson,and told him of the insult to the dog and sub-sequent events.Hédrick was sitting peaceful on a bench talking to friends when he lost cons¢iousness.The policeman,a %300-pounder,came on| the scene and before Hedrick knew/ anything was on he was put to sleep with a swat on the:jaw.and theheavy-weight was on top>of him.| Bystanders.pulled the guardian the peace off his victim and carried Hedrick home,where he regained consciousness.|Next day the policeman’s boy was| fined $5 and costs and his pa $20 and | costs and the aldermen suspended| the officer for 30 days for starting| something instead of preserving the peace,as he was paid to do. And it was all about a worthless dog.Again,“Behold,how great a matter a little fire kindleth.”| Completing the Tariff Bill—Its| Passhge Considered Certain.| Postponement of the date on which the new sugar tariff shall go into effect until March 1,1914,and a change of date~when the income tax shall be operative from January 1, 19138,to March 1,1913,have been agreed upon by majority members of the Senate finance committee. In advancing the date when the proposed rate of a cent a pound on Sugar shall be applied,the commit- tee did not amend the schedule to ef- fect the provision that sugar shall go on the free list May 1,1916.That provision Temains as it was original- ly in the bill which passed the House and which the Senate Democratic caucus approved last week.: The committee ajtso,adopted an amendment which would put a stamp tax on All cotton sold for future de- livery;'declined to re-consider its ac- tion in repealng the act of 1890,which released sweet wine manufacturers from payment of the full internal revenue duty on brandies used in for- tifying wines,and rajusted several rates on articles referred back by theDemocraticcaucus.} Extension of time on the sugar schedule,Chairman Simmons.an-|} hounced,was agreed to in order that |sugars purchased under the Payne-|Aldrich rates*can be didpésed of with-|out the handicap of the effect of re duced tariff rates. Success for the tariff bill is con-|sidered so certain in the’Senate that|plans already are being considered.for the opening of the currency re-form fight. iMteresting |4 of|{ Committed —in Promised. Insane Millionaire Asheville—Sensation Asheville Citizen,June 28. areSensationaldevelopments |pected to grow out of the arrest,on | an insanity warrant,of Henry Clay Ward,a Pontiac,Mich.,millionaire, who is now confined in R.8.Carroll's sanitarium by order of Marcus Er- win,clerk of the Superior Court.A. Tripp and Rembert Keni,two court officers from Pontiac,who have been in charge of Mr.Ward since his arrival in the city several months ago,protested against the proceed- ings,which were instituted by Mrs. Ward,but their efforts were una- vailing. Mr.Ward,attendgd by the two of- ficers,came to Asheville about three months ago and rented a house in the northern part of the city.Yes- terday Tripp and Kent exhibited cre- dentials to show that they were ap- jpointed custodians of Mr.Ward by Judge K.P.Rockwell of Pontiac,and claimed that they were ordered to produce their charge in court at Pon-| tiae on July 12.They telegraphed Judge Rockwell for thstructions. Mrs.Ward arrived in the city Thursday,securing a suite of rooms at the Langren,engaged counsel and immediately instituted insanity pro- ceedings against her husband.Mr Ward,who is about 62 years of age, jappeared before Clerk of the Superior Court Maréeus.Erwin,was officially adjudged insane and was remanded to the custody cf the sheriff to be confined ‘in the Carroll ‘sanitarium. Mrs.Ward left the city last night. The proceedings instituted here,it 1s ‘chaimed,are the culmination of a long drawn out strutgle ih the Mich- igan courts,in which it was sought to have Mr.Ward decrared insane.It was during these proceedings that Whitehead Kluttz of‘Fort Dobbs ex-| Tripp and Kent were appointed guar- dians of Mr.Ward. |Prayed That Signed and It Was Signed. |The Monroe Enquirer tells it that |John Wall,a colored citizen of Un- jion county,who had committed some joffence against the form of the stat- ute made and provided and was un- der bond,was surrendered by hisjbondsmen.John told the officers he |kneWw another good man he thought |would sign his bond and the accom |modating officers went with him te the home of the citizen aforesaid. 'One went in to interview John's \friend while the other kept John jcompany at the gate.The officer at ithe gate suggested to John that it |was a good time for him to pray. |Acting on tho suggestion John got j}down on his knees and told the Lord jall about how the thing happened, how much it would take to make it square with the prosecutor and how jhe did want the good man to go on this bond so that he could go “loose.” The bond was signed.Whether it /was in answer to the prayer is a question for debate.

Talking of his recommendation of |John T.Oliver for postmaster at |Reidsville,Congressman Stedman is }thus quoted by the Washington cor- lrespondent of the Greensboro News: |“I will never recommend any one |for the Reidsville postmastership but |John T.Oliver,unless Mr.Oliver |himself requests me to withdraw his name.I have received nothing but kindness and courtesy from Senator Simmons in connection with the Oli- ver controversy.I have no doubt that in recommending Mr.Oliver I am correct and that Senator Sim- mons is mistaken as to the facts.I do not believe that Mr.Oliver in- tentionally endeavored to injure the character of Senator Simmons and that he was actuated only by what he thought was just and proper. Senator Simmons now has the files of the Reidsville Review which I sent to him and which he has kindly consented to examine or have exam- ined. “IT do not know any man living in North Carolina who has shown more unselfish devotion to the Democrat- ic party than has John Oliver,and wher I quit.advocating his name it will be-at Oliver’s request and not otherwise.I cannot predict whatthefinalresultofthecontroversy will be.I am doing my duty regard- less of results.” It is understood that Senator Sim-mons is equally as determined tofighywaverasRepresentativeSted- man is to advocate his appointment. Unless some very strong and unfore- seen pressure is brought to bear up- on Postmaster General Burléson he will not send Oliver’s’name to the President.This statement was made “|to the Daily News correspondent lastweekbyahighofficialofthePost- office Department.This official de- clared that the charge that Oliver had bitterly assailed Senator Sim- mons’political integrity had been in vestigated and found to be substan- tially true,and the department had no desire to force a man upon Sena- tor Simmons who was personally ob- noxious to him.~Sietaeiianaiadaninneantaninaatciieee Regulations to Protect MigratoryBirds.

Master Harvey Murdock,the 13- year-old son of Mr.and Mrs.W.A. Murdock of Cool Spring township,hasconfessedthathestartedallfourof the fires that wrought destruction to his father’s property,thus clearingamysteryinwhichthepublic:gener-ally had become muen interested andthepeopleofCoolSpringtownshipmostvitallyinterested.The confes-sion was first made Tuesday morning to Sheriff Deaton,Deputy Insurance Commissioner Jordan and the boy’sfather,and since that time the childhasrepeatedhisstoryofthefires'anumberoftimes.Physicians declare_that the boy is mentally deficient and ‘not responsible for his actions,and there is no desire to punish him. Ever since Friday night,when thetenanthouseonMr.Murdock’s place was burned,Sheriff Deaton and oth- ers interested in the solving of the mystery of the fires had suspected that Harvey Murdock was respon- sible for them,and while the house was still burning Friday night the sheriff and Mr.D.M.Ausley,who had accompanied him to the fire, quietly took the boy from the crowd and questioned him for more than two hours in an effort to draw him out.At that time the boy refused to discuss the fires further than to deny that he had set fire to the house.He could not be shaken in his statements, but his general attitude and manner convinced the sheriff and Mr.wer that there was something wrong wit him mentally and that he was held- ing back something from them.From that time on the investigation of the officers was directed toward the de- velopment of any evidence that mightconnecttheboywiththefiresandby Sunday evening Sheriff Deaton was in possession of information,secured from several partied,which convinced him that the ows was responsible for Confessed to Officers. all the fires. Tuesday morning Sheriff DeatonandMr.Jordan,who had arrived to aid in the investigations,went out to Mr.Murdock’s and immediately ex-plained to him that they were convinc-ed that his own child was nsibleforthefiresandaskedtototheboy.Harvey was called from thefield"where he was at work and wentwiththeofficersandhisfathertoashadynearthehouse,where all seated t selves on the ground.The sheriff and Mr.Jordan had question- ed the boy only a few mmutes when he began answering their inted questions by nodding his head.The boy showed that he did not want to talk in the presence of his father and Mr.Murdock was asked to go away. Having once yielded,the boy then told the officers in detail how he stzert- ed all four of the fires which have oc- curred. How the Fires Were Set. The first of the series of the fires occurred five or six weeks ago,when a large pile of slabs at the saw mill on Mr.Murdock's place was burned.The fire occurred just ‘after dark andtheBoysaidthathestarteditwithrichpinecarriedtothesawmillfrom the house.It was on Monday night that the slabs were burned and dur- .ing that same night Harvey made two attempts to set fire to the stacks of lumber nearby,but in each instancethefirewasdiscoveredbypersonswho,were standing wateh fo see that the fiomes.did not spread from the -slabpile.Those who discovered and ex- tinguished these fires in the lumber now recall that Harvey spent most of his time running about the fire andononeoccasionwasseenneara stack of the lumber witha burning chunk of wood in his hand. The day following the burning of the slabs Harvey says he ran down to the lumber pile during the dinner hour and attempted to fire the lumber.One of his sisters passed along a short time later and seeing the blaze put it out.The next Sunday afternoon a crowd of young peopre gathered at Mr.Murdock’s for »singing and re- mained until late in the evening.Just after the visitors left,Harvey saysheslippedfromthehouse,ran to the lumber piles a short distance awayandsettingfiretoseveralpiecesofrichpinecarriedfromthehouse, thrust them under the lumber.He hustled back to the house and manag- ed to get in without being observed. A few minutes later the lumber wasinflamesandthefirewasdiscoveredbyothermembersofthefamily.More than three weeks elapsed be-fore the barn was burned and the_boy told of no attempts fo start fires during that time.On the evening ofthebarnburningtheboysaysheobservedthathis,father had gone tothehomeofaneighborandthathismotherwassittingonthefrontporch.The desire to burn,something sudden-ly seized him and securing a matchheslippedoutthebackdoor,ran tothebarn,<limibed into the loft and striking the match thrust it into the wheat straw.Running back to the house the boy went up stairs to hisroom.;_.The.night the tenant house wasburnedHarveyslippedawayfromhomewhiletheothermembersofthe family were washing for supper.‘Hesaysheranalltheway.to the tenanthouse,secured some pine which hadbeensplitbyMr.Abérnathy,who oc-cupied the house but was then away,and placing the pine under the edgeofthehouseappliedthematch.To * Meee Oda ‘of the fires designed to check excited at the time and it is believed the supper table with other membersofthefamily. Had No Motive. When the boy had,told about allthefires;the officers questioned him as to the,motive for starting them,and his simple answer was that hedidn’t know why he did it.Further uestioning convinced the officers thateboy’s mind was not right and ac-companied by Mr.Murdock he wasbroughttoStatesvilleforexamina-tion by Dr.H.F.Long.After mak- ing the examination and hearing the story of the boy’s confession,Dr. Long was convinced that he was men- tally deficient and pronounced him a pyromaniac—one with an irresistible desire to start fires.On the advice of Dr.Long Mr.Murdock took his son to Morganton Wednesday morning tohavehimexaminedbyDr.John Mc-Campbell,superintendent of the StateHospital,and Dr.McCampbell and Dr.Watkins,of the Hospital staff,al- so found the child mentally deficient.Dr.MeCampbell stated that an entire change of surroundings and.change of life would be better for the boy than confinement in a hospital,and acting on this advice the boy will be taken to Dallas,Texas,to make his home with his brother,Mr.Clyde Murdock,and undergo treatment.He and his mother will probably leave for Dallas within the next few days. Unusual Case. The boy’s story of the burning of the barn is considered most re- markable by his father.Mr.MurdocksaysthatHarveyhadalwaysappear- ed afraid to go in the barn loft and had declined to go there on an er- rand only a few hours before the fire. Notwithstanding his apparent fear of the loft,the boy went into it after it was dark in the barn to start the fire; and after the fire was discovered andthealarmgiven,Harvey was one of the first to rush from the house and to the barn.Screaming for help he ran with his mother to take the live stock out of the barn and also as- sisted his mother and sister in pulling vehicles from the burning building. In fact he worked so frantically that he was almost exhausted. The fires started by young Mur- dock resulted in a property loss of probably more than $2,000,includingthelossofMr.Edgar Abernathy’s household effects,which were destroy-ed with the house burned.Mr.Mur-dock carried insurance on the propertyburnedtotheamountof$1,050, this amount $700 was on the lumber,a portion of which was saved.It isnotknownasyetjusthowmuchof the insurance will be paid.The fact that Mr.Murdock’s own son started the fires will not necessarily affect the payment of the insurance.Mr. Abernathy’s loss is probably between $200 and $300.He had no insurance whatever. Had Helped Fight Forest Fires. It is believed that young Murdock’s experience with a forest fire just six weeks before he burned the slab pile developed his mania for starting fires. Sparks from a traction engine start- ed a fire in the woods near Mr.Mur- dock’s and the flames raged in the forest for more than a day.The Mur- dock family and neighbors fought the fire for hours before it was gotten un-der control and in-their efforts to check the main fire some “back fir- ing”was done-—firea were started ahead of the main fire to burn back to it.Harvey was very active in fighting the forest fire and was as- signed to the task of starting — the course of the main fire.He was mneh that this exciting experience is di- rectly responsible for the develop- ment of the fire-setting mania. Not Depraved or Vicious. Up to this time nothing unusual had been noticed about the boy.Heexhibitednosignsofdepravityor viciousness.He was obedient, kind- hearted and had given his parents no trouble.He is very timid and has little to say.He says that when he started the fires he felt light-headed.

Colonel Mulhall has been sub- poenaed to appear before Senator Overman’s lobby investivating com- mittee to repeat his statements.His statement is backed up.by 20,000 let- a There’s notreat so good: ame or so good for them—as aAaasaucerofpureicecream.Itcoolsandnourishestheirgrow- ing bodies.It’s what their’sys- tem demands these hot summer days. --To be sure of it’s purity,order only .

Charlotte Observer,2d. “Wire tappers”.in New York last week picked out Mr.E.L.Baxter Davidson for an easy mark and forth-with laid their plans for his discom- fiture with the result that they fleeced him.out of $700.Mr.Davidson,who had gorie to New York to join a party for a trip abroad,forthwith abandon- «(kis .outing and determined to secure revenge.Realizing his plight,he did not cry aloud but quietly noti- fied the authorities and after a con- ference with detectives,notified his erstwhile friends that he would hurry South and secure additional funds with which to take another try at the game.After securing additional funds ostensibly in Charlotte,he reappeared in New York and got in communica- tion with his former associates.The balance of the story is contained in the following Associated Press dis- patch received last night: “Two men_described as expert “wire tappers”were arrested this af- ternoon in company with Edward Lee Baxter Davidson of Charlotte,N.C., whom they are accused of attempting to swindle out of $10,000,The prison- ers said they were John Jones and George Harris.They were trapped by Davidson who held a conference’with the police on advice of friends after he had lost $700 on a ‘sure thing’and returned home to get more money.” ;Mr.Davidson,who spent Saturday in Charlotte,told his Charlotte friends of his experience and also of his plans. If.he ean get away from New York within a few days,he will likely take another boat and catch his party at_some point on the Continent.Other- wise,he will return home.scipnstapnsstincnenabannimmmaetneaati With the inauguration of the regu-lar train service between Raleigh and Mount Gilead on the Raleigh,Char- lotte and Southern division of the Norfolk Southern railroad,Raleigh becomes division headquarters for theRaleigh-Charlotte,division,all ofwhichistobeopenfortrainserviceeatlyintheFall.L.A.Boyd is thedivisionsuperintendentandhishead-quarters has just been moved fromBiscoe.The first service train over the new section of the division,Ral- eigh to Mount Gilead,was operatedTuesday: W.D.Magli,a well.Whitemound,-Wis.,bonght a stock of Cham-berlain's medicine so ‘ns to be able to supply them hia customers,them was himself taken.sick'thatone small bottle of, therchant of and anysIn’s Golie,was worth were possibly 1,000 Southerners the amphitheater and wnat they lack-ed in numbers they made up in lungpower.When Governor Tener finished his speech,Gen..Bennett H.Young,commander-in-chief of the Confeder- ate.veterans,rose slowly and bowed to him.“I can give you something that no one else can give you,”he said.“We will now give you the rebel yell.” Nine famous Confederate Generals and 1,000 veterans of the South gave it so.loudly that it was heard farbackinthecamptowardGettysburg. When General Young stepped for- ward to deliver his address,he was greeted with wild enthysiasm,the Union veterans,led by Comander-in- Chief Beers,giving him three lusty cheers and a “tiger.”He took as his keynote the convic- tion of each side in the great strug- gle that each fought for a principle which each believed was the truth. One of his opening statements was that the Northern soldiers deserved more credit than the Southerners for the promulgation and successful real- ization of the present great reunion, which he characterized as the great- est movement of its kind in the world. This compliment to the Northern veterans was greeted with loud cries of “no”to which General Young quickly replied,“I know better than you do.”His speech captured the au- dience and he was overwhelmed by handshaking.Before the morning exerciscs be- gan and after the veterans quartered in the big tent made their slim toil- ets,companies and squadrons began.Con- federates,who were in Pickett’s charge,took keen delight in march- ing with fife and drum to Spangler’s woods where the columns of Pickett formed on July 3,'63,to begin the charge that marked the high tide of the “Lost Cause.”They did not chargeagainliketheyoncedid,but they remembered,or thought they remem-bered,and nobody said nay, stick and stone and even the blades of grass in that wide stretch wheredeathkeptstepwiththembefore.

Complete evidence of the perpetuity of the United States as a Nation is resented by the reunion here of the Jnion and Confederate veterans who 50 years-ago engaged in the historic battle of Gettysburg,declared General Bennett H.Young,commander in chief of the United Confederate vet- erans,in an address to the veterans today. Registrars of Births and Dea.* ‘_Be Appointed, Raleigh News-and Observer On and after July 1,1913,between 1,200 and 1,500 local officers in North Carolina will act as registrars in re- cording every birth and death in the State and the statistics relative thereto.;For on or before that date the new health regulation makes it ob- ligatory upon every chairman of county boards of health and every mayor in towns or cities to appoint these local officers whose duties will be to gather the so termed vital sta- tistics relative to the life and death of North Carolina folks. These ‘vital _statistics from everytownshipandcityinNorth-Carolina are to be filed monthly at the office of the secretary of the State Board of Health.This tremendous army of health officers interested in gatheringthesestatisticsminutelybothasto birth and death rate must be active- ly at work not later than October 1.This much margin is permitted in or- der that the chairmen of the Loards of health and the mayors of the cit- ies may have ample time fo exer-cise discretion in making appoint- ments of these loca!officers that are to gather the vital statistics.

Seales of Texas,and Col.Robert M. Thompson of New York,were re-in- dicted by the Federal grand jury to- day,charged with criminal violation of the Sherman anti-trust law in con- nection with an alleged conspiracy to restrict the sale of cotton during the crop year of 1909-10.Morris H.Rothschild of Mississippi,a new de- fendant,was also indicted. James A.Patten of Chicago,who pleaded.guilty last Febrvary to theformerindictmentandpaidafineof $4,000 and Charles A.Kittle of New York,who testified before the grand jury,were named as conspira- tors,but not indicted. The new bill,containing only one count,covers practically the same allegations as the former indictment of eight counts returned in July,1910, and demurred to by.the defendants. It omits,however,the specific charge that the defendants conspired to op- erate a “corner.”This was done tomeetviewsofSupremeCourtJustice Vandeventer on the essentials of a “corner”as advanced in his opinion overruling the demurrers The present indictment merely charges the defendants with shipping several hundred thousand bales ofcottonoutofthecountryduringthe four months ending September 1,1910,and says their purpose was “to prevent actual cotton.from’betomingavailableto.short:sellers—for deliv-ery upon their contracts for sala” It.further alleges that part of theplanwastocompeltheshortsellers as well as “spinners of cotton,”manu-facturers of cotton and cotton mer- chants to pay excessive prices in order to obtain cotton for theirneeds.” The profits:of the defendants,ac- cording to the old indictment but not mentioned in this,amounted to $10,- 000,000 and cotton was advanced from nine cents a pound to 20 cents.All the defendants,with the ex- ception of Colonel Thompson,are ex- pected to plead within a day or two.

FRIDAY,July 4,1913, Congressman.Webb of North Caro- lina is one of the Representatives named by Mulhall,the self-confessed lobbyist agent,as frtendly.to the in- erests represented by Mulhall.Mr. Webb vigorously denies the accusa- tion and his denial will be accepted in North Carolina.cereals The “Ministerial Association of Charlotte‘and vicinity”has adopted a resolution approving “the sympathet- ic reading of the Bible in our public schools,”earnestly protesting “against all efforts to undermine’its authority by either overt or clandes- tine means;”and the resolution furth- er asserts that “we are positively op- posed to the employment of any teacher in any school who is not in full sympathy with the teachings of the Bible.”All of which means that the preachers who passed this resolu- tion are in sympathy with the Char- lotte school board,which refused to re-elect two teachers in the Charlotte public schools who are members of the Catholic Church.comnsieanrngunenmenpapmnpmsasasiinninee It seems to be settled that Mr. Clyde R.Hoey of Shelby will be as- sistant district attorney.He is a capable and worthy man ard The Landmark congratulates him on his success.The Landmark believes in the square deal but it doesn’t think District Attorney Holton is entitled to hold his job longer.Counting four year periods for a term,Mr.Holton this year completes four terms of four years each,having been appoint- ed in 1897.Because he was not promptly recommissioned at the ex- piration of some of these periods and now has a commission that dates to 1915 is not a good and sufficient rea- son to permit Mr.Holton to remain in office.If he doesn’t resign by the end of the year he should be asked to resign. The Charlotte Observer assures us that “a good and progressive Demo- eratic Congress”has levied “a pro- hibitive duty of six cents a pound on the seed from which the Holland cab- bage grows.”Unsatisfactory.A prohibitive duty on Holland cabbage seed will simply keep our growers from growing the Hoiland cabbage.It will not prevent the Hollanders from shipping their cabbage direct to Char- lotte and underselling the native mountain cabbage,as the Observer asserts was done last winter.In fact a prohibitive duty on seed will give the Hollanders a better chance to swamp our markets.Has the Obser- ver no influence with Senator mons that it can’t get something worth while done for our cabbage growers?It saved the monozite peo- ple;has it fallen down when the cab- bage producers call on it for help? Sim- Mulhall,the man who says he was employed a4 a lobbyist by the Nation- al Manufacturers’Association and who has made public the names of a number of public men who he says were friendly to the plans he tried to promote and also’-the names of those on the,black-list,who were “to.be tought by the association,says the in- fluence of the association defeated Mr.McComas of Maryland,the au- thor of the eight hour labor law.Mul- hall also quotes from a letter he says he received from D.A.Tompkins of Charlotte,one of the directors of the National Association of Manu- faeturers,who wanted to know why the association did not go after Con- gressman Gardner,a friend of labor, in the same way it had gone afterMr.MeComas,and put Gardner outofbusiness.

When Senator Hitchcock of Nebras-ka withdrew from the Democratic tariff caucus today betause that body voted down his amendment.that would put a graduated income tax on tobac-co production,he precipitated the live- liest time the Senate Democrats havehad‘since they began cansideration of the tariff measure.: Senator Hitchcock’s revolt,‘which he later declared did not mean that he had ‘withdrawn trom the party or that he would not support the party measure,seryed to ‘determine tha there will be a binding |resolution, passed by the caucus,pledging theSenatorstosupportthebillasrati- fied,to refrain from introducing any amendment not proposed by the fi- nance committee majority and not tosupportanyamendmentsofferedfrom the Republican side.It was because he anticipated such a resolution that the Nebraska Sena- tor announced that he could not re- main in the caucus,because he in- tended to introduce his tobacco tax amendment jn the Senate and to lead a fight there for its adoption.When, in the course of his talk to the cau- cus,the Senator announced his de- cision and the reasons therefor,many of his colleagues who had supported him in the vote on his amendment, pleaded with him to remain in the room.There was considerable.ex- citement as Senator after Senator urged Mr.Hitchcock not to go out, assuring him that he could be granted the privilege of bringing up_his amendment without taking such a drastic course.Senator Hitchcock de- clared,however,that there was no other course open and left the room while the excitement was at its height. The vote on the amendment was 23 to 18.(The opposition to the Hitchcock amendment was on the ground that the tariff bill should not be loaded down with general legislation and es- pecially legislation affecting only one trust;that the trust question should be dealt with in a separate measure.) Lincolnton Building and Loan Will Lend Money to Farmers. Lincolnton News. Lincoln county farmers may now borrow money for necessary im- provements from one of Lincolnton’s prosperous building and loan associ- ations.»This epoch-marking change in policy was made possible at the monthly meeting of the directors of the People’s Building and Loan As- sociation,when the by-laws were so amended as to include the whole of Lincoln county in the territory’in which loans may be made, Heretofore the People’s Building and Loan,like nearly all other simi- lar associations,has confined its op- erations to its own immediate town- ship.The detérmination to broaden tis scope was based on the impera- tive need of farmers all over the county for money at short notice and at a reasonable rate of interest. The People’s is a mutual association, ure and simple,and under the reso- ution passed those members who live outside of Lincolnton townshipwillbeentitledtoallthebenefits and advantages enjoyed by those who teside nearer the home office. It is believed by the directors that the change will be fully appreciatedinallpartsofthecounty,and that it will be of tremendous aid in promot- ing and strengthening the feeling of friendliness and business co-opera- tion between the people of the town and the county.he fact that the general welfare of agricultural sec- tions depends greatly on easy and quick money for the farmer who needs it,is becoming more generally recognized each year,and it is a safe prediction that other counties less progressive than Lincoln will follow in its steps. Still Worrying About Brandy at Mt.Airy. Mt.Airy News, We have given up hope of ever tasting a-drop of that brandy (the 15-year-old brandy in custody at Mt.Airy);We made the proposition.toMr.Pate,the Custodian of the oa. in this case,to furnish some sour- wood honey if he would furnish a lit- tle of that brandy,but-he positively declined the proposition.If that of- fer would not tempt him we have no idea that any other would.In the meantime Policeman Tobe Taylor is in tears.When he helped to take possession of that barrel in the basement where it had rested in bliss for these long years,he ¢on- tented himself with merely placing his big nose to the bung hole and taking a whiff.That satisfied himthatitwasbrandyandsohehelp- ed to lug the barrel away from its resting place.Now the regret of his life is that he was so easily satis- fied when he made that seizure.Hewouldgivehislefteartogetataste of that brandy,now that he has had time to consider.But his chance isgoneandhecannomoremoveMr. Pace than the editor of the News can.It is with sadness he remem- bers the time when he was so un- wise as to merely stick his nose.to that bung hole and allow his sense to be satisfied in that way.He oughttobeputoff‘the force for incompe- tency.

Discussing North Carolinians who have been ‘prominent in the navy, Major London of the Chatham Rec- ord says that in additiontofive North Carolinians who have been Secretary of the Navy the State has furnished other men who ‘were prominent in the naval service.John Paul Jones, the noted naval ‘hero,was an adopt-ed son of the State,and the story oftwoothers,who are not 80 wellknowntothegeneralpublic,is thusndon:©.|:Johnston Blakely.was North Caro- lina’s contribution to the navy in thewarof1812,and his sad and untime-ly fate was deplored by this entirecountry.He also was an adoptedsonofNorthCarolina,his fatheremigratingtoWilmingtonfromIre-land in 17838,when young Blakelywastwoyearsold.At the death of his father in 1797 he —became =thewardofCol.Edward Jones (who wasalsoanativeofIreland)and soonthereaftertheymovedtothis(Chat-ham)county.Col.Jones became thesolicitor.general of North Carolina and died here (at Pittsboro)in 1841.Young Blakely entered the Univer- sity from Chatham county and whiletherewasappointedamidshipman in the United States navy.At the breaking out of the war with Eng-land in 1812 Capt.Blakely was givencommandofthebrigEnterpriseandafterwardsthenewstoopofwar named the Wasp..With this ship he sailed to the English channel, thus bearding the British lion in hisden,and on this cruise captured twelve merchant ships with their valuable cargoes and two warships, the Reindeer and Avon.Later :hecapturedofftheMadeiraIslandsa rich merchant prize,the Atlanta,and sent the captured ship to Savannah. This was the last ever heard of Blakely and his ship,and it is thought that the’Wasp was lost at sea in some violent storm.So high- ly did our State value his services, even before his last cruise,that the Legislature presented him.with a gold sword and after his death the Legislature made an appropriationof$600 a year for the support and education of his only child,a young daughter,until her marriage.In compliment to him the first academy at this place was named the “Blakely Academy.” James Iredell Waddell was one of the most famous naval officers dur- ing the war between the States,and, as the commander of the Confederate warship Shenandoah,he did not haul down the Confederate flag and sur- render until November,1865,seven months after Gen.Lee’s surrender ‘at Appomattox.With his ship he was on a cruise in the waters near Bering Straits,capturing whaling vessels, at the time of Lee’s surrender,and did not hear of that event until Au- gust.He immediately sailed for Eng- land via Cape Horn and arrived there in November,1865,after a voyage of 22,000 miles without seeing land.On the cruise,before hearing of the elose of the war,the Shenandoah ‘@ap-tured 88 vessels and sailed on e¥ery ocean except the Antarctic and wastheonlyshipthatcarriedtheCon- federate flag around the world.TheexploitsofCapt.Waddell with the Shenandoah would fill a volume ofmostinterestingmatterifpublished. He was born at this place (Pittsboro) and was the son of Mr.Frank Wad- dell,who afterwards lived and died at Hillsboro.After the war he com- manded one of the Pacific steam- ships,plying between California and China,and died several years ago.

Nearly 80,000 acres of land at the head waters of the James and Shen- andoah rivers have been approved for purchase by the National Forest Res- ervation Commission.The commis- sion also approved 3,420 acres near the famous Virginia Natural Bridge; 10,437 acres in the White Top moun- tain region near the junction of Vir- ginia,North Carolina and Tennessee, and 20,587 acres at the head of the Monongahela river,dpon the Ohio water shed. The four areas approved made up the largest set of purchases passed upon at any one time by the commis- sion.They aggregate 113,909 acres and.bring the total of all the nation- al forests in the east up to 713,415 acres. The White Top area consists of six tracts aggregating 10,487 acres and affects the water shed of the Holston river,which in turn flows into theTennessee.Four of these six tracts adjoin lands already bought or in process of acquisition,while the re- maining two will connect with areas now being examinea with a view to purchase.The prices vary from $3.- 50 for cut-over lands to $10 an acre for lands covered with a fair stand of timber.The average price is $5.18 an acre. The Natural Bridge area involves three tracts,the largest containing 2,676 acres.This is well timbered and close to the Glenwood estate al- ready acquired.The highest price paid is -37.50 an acre,with an aver- age of $6.64.cnstiemempnpamiyennatnammmiatenes Kicked Toe Nail Off In Dream.

Teday and hereafter there will be no such institution as the Charlotte assay office.Its career as a mint and assay office and later as an assay of- fice only,terminated yesterday af- ternoon when Mr.Frank P.Drane closed,all government accounts,for- warded all supplies and correspond- ence,files,ete.,to Washington and locked the big doors leading to the street.The keys were turned over to Postmaster J.H.Weddington,who has been designated as custodian of the government property at this point. The local establishment was insti- tuted here in 1837.North Carolma gold at that time was famous the world over and particularly the mines in Mecklenburg county.For about 12 years the office did a thriv- ing business,the bulk of the yellow metal of the country passing through the local office.Then in 1849 the rush to California began and ever after that the relative im- portance of North Carolina as a goldproducingStateandtheCharlotte mint as an agency for handling theametal,began to decline.Iteldupwell,however,until the ciy- il war,the mint being discontinued here in 1862.After the war,it was opened as an assay office and contin- ued as such until yesterday. ,Obey That Impulse!

THE LANDMARK —==&x&&TETTyTTTT—————oo FRIDAY,July 4,1913, THE BONDAGE OF PRECEDENT. The Extreme Conservatism Which Would Reject All New Things AsDangerousInnovations. Speaking at the commencement of the Eastern Cardlina Teachers’Train- ing School at Greenville,Mr.Hen- ry A.Page of Moore county,one of the most progressive and forward- looking men in the State and at the same time safe and sane,is thus re- ported by the News and Observer: There have been a few great minds in the history of the world that re- fused to accept the limitations of the known.‘The positive discovery of a new truth,or the equally valuable proof of the falsity of accepted truth, have at long intervals marked epoch- making ‘strides in progress,but it is certainly true that the attitude of the multitude has always been hostile to new ideas and discoveries.In the in- dustries,not one of the greft labor saving inventions of the centuries es- caped the opposition and ridicule of multitudes of men,Most of the con- veniences of modern civilization were in their early histories condemned as innovations,and,prophecies of failure were the rule and not the exception. The history of the slow progress of human development has always been the same.Some great truth,hitherto unknown,usually contradicting ac- cepted theories,given to the world, finds instant and general rejection,to wear its way into common acceptance after years of skepticism only by its owh inherent quality of being the truth and by the process of slow as- similation. “So grievous is the bondage of pre- cedent. “If the minds of men had always been open and eager for the unfold- ing of the mysteries of nature and grace;if every man made it the chief end and aim of life to strive to the ut- most to fully develop the latent possi- bilities within them,do you think the mysteries that surround human ex- istence could have stood so long?Do you imagine,for instance,that such men could have lived upon the earth for more than 5,000 years without dis-covering that it was round?Suppose an eager hunger for knowledge and power to have always existed,can you think for a moment that the tor- nado could stili work its uncontrolled will upon the inhabitants of tne earth, and the lightning’s dread power re- main unharnessed?That flood could destroy in one part of the earth while drought and famine reign in other p rtions?Thatpoverty and want could exist in the sight and sound of luxury and waste?If the human race had from its beginning attacked the prob-lems and mysteries and injustices ly- ing in plain sight,from the vantage ground of zealous learning in life’s school,do you think that in this good year of grace,after 6,000 years of accumulated culture and schooling in research after truth,one man could successfully lay claim to a di- wine right to rule over his fellow- men?To what heights and depths and breadths now unknown and undream- ed of would the enlightened human mind have attained under such a problem as is here outlined,in the pe- riod of man’s stay upon the earth? Insteadofthe mere novelty of instantcommunicationaroundtheearth without material connection,might we not by this time have reached a stage of human ingenuity which made inter-planet communication common, and have so cultured and refined the gross material of humanity that God might direct us for the future face to face,or at least with but the gloriousveiloftheburningbushbetween? But the enslaving bondage of .prece-dent has held the race to a snail's pace growth and I have no doubt that .the great designer in disappointment and disgust at our stupidity and sloth has many times since the day ofAdamrepentedHimthatHehad made man. Application To North Carolina. -“But it is my purpose to bring thissubjectcloserhometous,and to un- dertake to make an application of the principles I have been talking about to our political and industrial con- ditions here in North Carolitia. ‘In politics-and with reference to policies of government we should con- gratulate ourselves that there exists in our day a wide-spread and growing demand for changes in political proc- esses and practices and methods in harmony with the changed conditions of life with which we have to deal. Until the rise of the so-called pro- gressive sentiment of recent years, which is now gaining ground withintheranksofallthepoliticalparties of the land,our theory of self gov- ernment was very largely theory and very little fact.It may be true, indeed it is true,that every formal statement of the fundamental princi- ples of government that has ever been issued or adopted in this country has had for its foundation stone’the accepted theory of ‘government by the people,and yet every such propaganda has tacxed on to it anasideorbracketedparenthesisinthe nature of machine-made limitationsandrestrictions,“declaring with startling candor and effrontery thatthepeoplearenotyetcapableof self-government.Into this gap _he- tween principle and practice a host of ambitious men who highly teem their own fitness for the sponsibility of government,have thrown themselves,and the profes- sional politician has prospered in the land!I am not nowcommenting onthekindofgovernmenttheyhave given us.Acting as rulers insteadofservantsofthepeople,by the ae thd assent of the people them-ives,they may have been as a rulebothcapableandpatriotic.That isnotthequestionjustnow.The trou-ble ia that the parasite has grown so tightly to the parent trunk thatitnowassumesparentalfunctions.

But those who are profiting by the hide-bound restrictions of this an- cient document are busy with proph- ed that it is a well nigh sacred in- strument,and that the very exist- ence of the Commonwealth deoends upon our reverence and respect for it.Let us see:It is invoked to pro- tect and perpetuate a waste of pub- li¢funds at a dozen points;to keep in forcé a system of taxation which results in robbery and confiscation on the one hand and special privi- lege on the other,and to procure es- cape from punishmeat for criminals who are able to pay the price.In its day I doubt not that it was a useful and able production,but many of its provisions nave long since ecies of disaster.We are being warn-| passed their day of usefulness along with the style of our grandfathers’ waistcoats and the cut of their stocks.It should have been Pevizedandrenovatedandchangedandca- pable of revision and renovation and change,along with these garments, to keep step with the changes that have taken place in need and oppor- tunity.If the people are really ca- pable of self-government at last, where is the danger in permitting them the right to amend and alter the organic law of the State as oc- casion demands and by the same process used to keep other laws in harmony with changing conditions? Danger to whom?And who dares to stand out in the open and say in plain English that tne people are not fit for direct government?Our fathers had no more right to binduponustheproductoftheirminds than they did the product of their 1 s.There exists today condi- tions in government which they could not possibly foresee,still later changes will come tomorrow -and next year,and there is stronger reason now for making our constitu- tion simple -and direct’and respon- sive to the will of the people than there has ever been for changing last year’ssctyte at dress.“ “The abnormal and disproportion- ate growth of the spirit of profes- sionalism which is an outgtowth of overgrown reverence for precedent, is largely responsible for the lop-sid- ed and top-heavy condition prevail- ing in government und business and society.In passing I am going to} be reckless enough to say that much|of the ineffectiveness and many ofthesinsofomissionveingcharged against the Church are growing outoftheexcessivemovementtowardprofessionalism.Insvead of a well-defined policy of conservation of en-ergy and combination of effort,aneconomicuseofallresourcesinharmoniousunityofpurposeagainstthecommonenemy,we find the at-tacking forces divided and still di-viding into small semi-hostile campsandthespiritofjealousyandlittlemeannessesofrivalrycrowdingoutzealforrighteousness.The meremultiplicationofsmallchurchbuild-ings,standing cheek vy jowl all overthisland,is in itself an indictment of the capacity of the Church for really effective organization.”eR Lenoir’s Unique Town Clock.Lenoir News.

BELK BROTHERS ARE A call for sanity and caution in the midst of agitation for what he regards as perilous innovations in our| system of government was sounded by | ex-Judge James 8S.Manning,presi-| dent of the State Bar Association,in | the annual address before the meeting | of association in Asheville Wednes-| day evening.| Considering in turn the proposals| to deprive the Supreme Court of the| power to declare a legislative act un-| constitutional,to incorporate the| initiative into what was intended to) be a representative government and to exercise the recall against officials who incur popular disapproval,Judge|Manning expressed the conviction| that present imperfections can be eliminated without endangering the entire structure.The referendum has long been recognized as a part of this government and resort to it has fre-| quently been had.As to woman’s suf- frage,while recognizing the strength of the arguments advanced in its fa- vor,the speaker said he was an un-| relenting standpatter,chained to his position by the divine order of nature. Woman was made to be man’s’help- meet and he is unwilling that she should be dragged from her.throne of beneficent home influence and plunged into the vortex of bitter polit- ical contention.Judge Manning said the responsi- bility resting on the lawyer is,in view of the present unrest,a challenge for his best service.He referred to the subject of tax reform,one affording a field for correction.With respect to increasing the powers of the Gov- ernor,he favored a provision where- by the Chief Executive might send with his messages drafts of statutes which he recommends,such transmis- sion to constitute a first reading and to entitle the bills to immediate hear- ing after their return from the com- mittees.

Gas Plant Franchise May Be For-feited—Proceedings of Aldermen. Mayor Caldwell and all the alder-men,except Messrs.Alexander and Bristol,were present at the regularmonthlymeetingoftheboardofal- dermen Friday night and action was taken with regard to various matters.The first’matter discussed was the State Convention of County Commis-sioners,which is to be held in States- ville next month,and the boardagreedtocontributeasmuchtowardtheentertainmentofthevisitingcom- missioners as is contributed by Ire-dell commissioners.It is the purpose to entertain the convention in a man-ner in keeping with Statesville’s rep-utation for hospitality and Messrs. Brawley,Shelton and Ausley were ap- pointed a committee to confer with the board of county commissioners with regard to the matter.f An application for a cement side- walk on Green street,from Broad to Front street,was referred to the street committee:. Mayor Caldwell was authorized to deal with Mr.C,S.Holland in regard to the removal of the large columns in front of Hotel Iredell.Mr.Hol- land was given until July Ist to re- place the present large columns with small stee!ones and unless he gets busy at once he will probably be dealt with in the mayor’s court.The alder- men will require that there be only two of the steel columns and that they not exceed six inches in diameter. The aldermen first began making or- ders for the removal of the columns last fall and Mr.Holland has been granted several extensions of time.It was finally agreed to allow him to re- place the present columns with steelones,provided the work be done by July lst,and he failed to make the change. A sewer line was ordered laid along Highland avenue,provided the cost does not exceed the estimate of the city engineer,which is $125. Alderman Cooper was instructed to make investigations with regard to improvements which will probably be made at the city water station.It is proposed to replace the presentpumpswithlargerones,which will be operated by electric power.All jecting over sidewalks It was decided that hereafter bills against the city shall be paid on the 16th of each month.All bills musthavetheapprovalorthechairmanof the committeé in charge of the de- partment against which the bill is made. The matter of rescinding the fran- chise of the Statesville Gas Company was discussed,but no formal action was taken.It is believed that the franchise has been legally forfeited by the failure of the gas people to wive the town gas service and the mayor and City Attorney Thompson are now looking into the matter with a view to making recommendations to the board.Activities at the gasplantceasedmorethanamonthago and the manager é6f the business has been out of town for some days.It is charged that the gas turned into the mains of the company for a few nights several weeks ago was shipped here in tanks and that no gas has as yet been generated at the Statesville plant./The aldermen will probably take ion in the matter in a short Line,ii .

A Fine Speech By the Young Salis-bury Orator—-A Good Crowd and.aPleasantDay. The event of the picnic at Fort Dobbs,three miles north of town,onthe4thwastheexcellentaddressof Mr.Whitehead Kluttz of Salisbury.The address was heard with interest and close attention and was highly commended,as it deserved,for it was a capital address.;The picnic was held in a fine grove on Mr.J.W.Hatchett’s farm,hard by the site of the old fort,and was attended by a large crowd—1,000 to1,500 people being a fair estimate.The rain of the day before had cooled the atmosphere and while clouds threatened there was no rain and the weather was favorable for the pic- nic.A stand and seats had been erected in the grove and,the StonyPointbandfurnishedmusic.bout 11:30 the exercises were opened:with prayer by Rev.E.D.Brown of Loray. The editor of The Landmark made a brief address of welcome and Mr.L. ©.Caldwell introduced Mr.Kluttz, who said in part: “Through all its history,from its earliest to its latest day,old Fourth Creek ‘congregation appeals to me by the nearest ties of blood,by the dear- est ties of affection.I am here todaybecauseasummonscametometo come and speak as one of the home folks. “Always here in Lredell as in Rows an I have that feeling of local root- age,that love for the soil and thejtreesandthephysicalearth“which the Scot of the Highlands feels ‘when his foot is on his native heath and his eye on the peak of Ben Lomond.’ “Even under such kindly conditions it is no easy task to undertake a Fourth of July speech.After all that has been said and sung of this birth- day of America,I do not feel that I can proceed with the confidence of the late Col.Windy Billy Henderson of Davidson county.In all the annals of patriotic oratory his speech will remain unique.‘It was on the Fourth of July,’he shouted,‘that Christopher Columbus landed on Plymouth Rock and proclaimed e,liberty and in- dependence to ah mankind!’We have come to a fitting place to celebrate this famous day.Here in the early days stood oid Fort Dobbs, the farthest outpost of civilization. Built in 1755,it was a substantialfortofoak“fogs,three.stories highandfromitonehundredmuskets could be fired at once.It was 53 feet long and 40 feet wide,larger than the first court house at Salisbury, which was just 20 by 30 feet. “These dimensions seem smal!to modern eyes,but from such humble beginnings grew this mighty nation. That little fort meant life to the pion- eer,who lived in peril of the fire- brand and the tomahawk,and who knew not in what hour the savage war-whoop might ring in his ears. “It was a city of refuge upon the far frontier to the lone woman at yon- der spring when she saw the painted faces of the Indian braves gazing at her through the forest on the evening of the fight of February 27th,1760. “Rightly have your Daughters of the American Revolution conceived that this is a significant spot.Patri- otic is.the service they wre doing in perpetuating this notable yet almost forgotten history.Fer this was long the fringe of the Englishman's world. Here was written in daily quiet valor and in occasional tragic blood a chap- ter is --_curiiling epic.FortDobbsisamemorablelandmarkin that long and mighty struggle in which the white men broke over the wall of the Appalachians,swept over the dark and bloody ground to the Mississippi,spread over prairies and deserts and over-leaped forbidding mountains until at last the conquest of the continent was complete and their unwearied feet met the Pacific.“They were empire-builders,were Hugh Waddell and the men who heldFortDobbsinthedaysofFrenchand Indian warfare.They were forerun-ners in the wilderness,helping in anindispensablewaytheadventof America.They and men like them made this soil at last secure,made possible the Declaration,the Revolu- tion and the new,free nation.Hon- ored be their memories,sacred be thespotwheretheyfoughtforyouandme! “In those days the limits of Rowancountyextendedwestward‘to theSouthSeas’,and if those who hearmenow,as well as the dwellers.by theGoldenGate,are not citizens of Row-an it is because they were not bornsoonénough, “Government came to this wilder-ness of the ‘far-flung battle-line’in1753,when Rowan was formed.Notuntil1788washerfinedaughter,Ire-dell,born and named in honor ofJamesIredell,Justice of the Supreme Court of the young nation.So the his-tory of Iredell and Rowan through all those thrilling early years of frontier, Revolution and nation-building life, is forever one.For a generation your court house was at Salisbury,whichintheSaxontonguesignifies‘a dry town.’But as Bill Shakespeare re- marked,‘what’s in a name,any-how?’”.’ Leaving the local phase with a trib-ute to°the pre-Revolutionary activi-ties of the Rowan Committee of Pub-lic Safety,Mr.Kluttz discussed thenationalDeclarationofIndependence,itscauses and meaning and the mak-ers of ‘it,He declared that unre-stricted immigration could no longerbe.permitted on account.of vastlychangedconditionssincetheearlydays.Urging far stricter surveil- DROVE THE HORSE TO DEATH? ceeded Suspect Discharged—Court Items.

THE LANDMARK COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS ke Fourth of July was more gen- erally observed Friday than ever be- fore,probably,in the history of the State.In towns and villages and cities and country places all over the State there was some sort of gath- ering on the Fourth,and it was gen- erally observed as a holiday.Prior to the civil war Fourth-of-July cele- brations were common.For years af- ter the war the observance was rare and only in recent years has it be- come common,** Numerous beasts of burden have died during the hot spell,especially about the towns and cities,and al for lack of a little consideration.“The merciful man is merciful to his beast” is a maxim little observed by many people who ought to know better.A few people mistreat dumb _brutes solely from innate cruelty;the ma- jority from thoughtlessness.They don’t know how much a horse ormule can stand and don’t stop to consider. Plenty of water and frequent rests are necessary in the extremely hot weather.Many poor brutes’suffer torture for lack of thought on the part of people who would be offend- ed if called cruel. *o * The Landmark mentioned recently that Congressman Page had recom- mended G.H.Russell for postmaster at Laurinburg in the face of the op- position of Senator Simmons,and, following the example of Congress- men Stedman and Webb,in the Reids- ville and Marshall cases,1s stand- ing by his man,Judge Walter Neal, who is championing A.H.James for postmaster at Laurinburg,is quoted as saying in Washingon last week that Russell is “a man of high char- acter.”It seems to be conceded that Senator Simmons will not allow Rus- sell to be confirmed if he is nominat- ed,but the reason for the Senator’s course is not made public. >*~ The Charlotte Observer recently as- serted that John Marion Cross of Con- cord is the oldest type-setter in the State in point of service;and it has proved the assertion if it has its figures correct,Mr.Cross begin- riing to set em up in 1854.Mr.Dover H.Bost of Statesville,entered by The Landmark in the list of veteran com- positors,is something of a youth be- side Mr.Cross,as Mr.Bost began ser- vice in 1860.It is his distinction,how- ever,to have set type “bn the New York Tribune in the days of Horace Greely.Another old typo mentioned is Mr.J.T.Darlington of Leaksville, who began work,if our memory serves us,in 1856. e *> It is impossible to gather many people together without finding some fools in the company—people who have no sense of the proprieties and whose conduct brings shame to self- respecting people.At Gettysburg last week a South Carolinian ;dis- tinguished himself by calling a public speaker a liar;and it was a Virginian, now a resident of New Jersey,who stabbed eight men in a Gettysburg ho- tel when a Union veteran properly re- sented abuse of Lincoln.It would be charitable to hope that both these men were drunk,but their conduct humiliates right-Shinking Southern- ers.It is hardly probable that all the people from other sections observed all the proprieties,but these two cases were conspicuous in the papers.

A Few Confederate Veterans March- ed Over the Same Ground and Met Men in Blue at the Stone Wall. yettysburg,Pa.,Dispatch,3d. A handful of men in gray re-enact- ed today the charge of Pickett acrossthefieldofGettysburg.Up the slopeofCemeteryRidge,whéte death kept step with them in ’63,150 veterans of the Virginia regiments of that im- mortal brigade made their slow par ade.Under the brow of this ridge in the Bloody Angle,where the Philade! phia brigade stood that day,was a handful in blue scarcely larger,wait ing to meet the onslaught of peace There were no flashing sabres,no belching guns,only eyes that dimmed fast and kindly faces behind the stone wall that marks the angle.At the end,in place of wounds or prison or death,were handshakes,speeches and mingling cheers. The veterans in gray marched for a quarter of a mile over the ground that they traversed during the charge. They came up the slope in column of fours,irregularly but responsive to the commands of Major W.W.Bent- ley,of the 24th Virginia.Ahead of them marched a band and well down the column was a faded Confederate flag,its red fold pierced with many holes and its shaft colored with the sweat of many a man who died that it might fly high in the last desper ate effort to pierce the Union lines Its progress was slow and painful, for the timothy in the field was ‘high en in the lifeblood of mankind.And it is secure.There is no one within| its borders,there is no power among | the nations of the earth,to make it} afraid.But has it yet squared itself| with its own great standards set up| at its birth,when it made that first| noble,naive appeal to the moral judg-| ment of mankind to take notice that a government had now at last been established Which was to serve men, not masters?It is secure in every- thing except the satisfaction that its life is right,adjusted to the uttermost to the standards of righteousness and humanity.The days of sacrifice and cleansing are not closed.We have harder things to do than were done in the heroic days of war,because harder to see clearly,requiring more vision,more calm balance of judg- ment,a more candid searching of the very springs of right. Look around you upon the field of Gettysburg!Picture the array,the fierce heats and agony of battle,col- umn hurled against column,battery bellowing to battery!Valor?Yes! Greater no man shall see in war;and self-sacrifice,and loss to the utter- most;the high recklessness of exalted devotion which does not count the cost.We are made by these,tragic, epic things to know what it costs to make a nation—the blood and ‘sacri- fice of multitudes of unKnown men from the ranks of free men you will see,as it were,a nation embattled, the leaders and the led,and may know,if you will,how little exceptinformitsactionindaysofwar.

As the men in gray formed in a ‘lone line facing ‘the wall,the stars and bars and the flag of the second corps were crossed in amity;the stars and stripes was unfurled and the crowd that came to watch burst into cheer.Representative J.Hamp- on Moore of Pennsylvania made a long speech and Major Bentley an- swered him on behalf of the South.

Having gone 150 Chinese miles we were met by Dr.Hearn and Mr.Lin at Chang I city,tne understanding being that the party would come te- gether at that point.Chang I is an old city with a historic wall -and is surrounded by a_thickly populated section,in which are many thousands of people.Not much mission workhasbeendonethereasyet,though it is a most promising field.|Near that city is the longest stone bridge I have ever seen,nearly a half mile long,built of granite many years ago, in China’s day of prosperity. From Chang I we went in a south- ward direction,crossing the railroad and passing through some beautiful rolling country,finally coming into the mountaine before reaching |the county seat of An Kieo.At the lat- ter place we called on the official,who received us gladly and gave all infor- mation desired regarding the county.We found there are 1,300 villages in the county with a population reach- ing nearly a million.The Presbyte- rians are doing some work in the city and county,but very little has been done compared with the many thousands of souls in that section. Many things of interest were seen along the way.We passed scores of large carts,pulled by three,four or five mules,carrying freight from the railroad.These carts are clumsy and heavy,built strong for the bad roads, which have been endured through many generations although they could have easily been put in fine condition.The cart tires are concave, otherwise the roads would be cut up even worse than they are.Concavetiresonsomeoftheroads-in Amer- ica would probably be beneficial. The principal crop in this province is wheat.We passed through many counties where scarcely any other crop is grown.Fuel is so scarce |that wheat straw is used nearly alto jgether.At one place they were fir ing a Lrick kiln with straw.Some on« has said that enough fuel is wasted ir |America to support half the popula jtion of China.The average family here manages to prepare its food }with an almost inconceivably smal! jamount of fuel.The Chinese econo jmize in everything but time.The lat ter they have little conception of th jvalue of.The wheat is almost rip: jnow,and will be an abundant crop ithis year.To retain moisture —th« |Chinese pull rock rollers over the rows after the grain is planted.Th: jmillet,which is sown in rows,is now up and in many cases is rolled again after coming up that mois ture may be retained,or rather brought up from beneath.The wheat is sown by drills and planted far jenough apart to be worked by hoeing Some places it is watered by artificial \irrigation. |.The Chinese government is making |a determined effort to prevent the cu} vation;sale an@ use of-opium =in China.Eagland’s treaty -with Chins provides that whenever any province}erases to cultivate the poppy and suc opium from other parts of China then |England will stop the sale of Indian opium in that province.There has never been a great deal of opium rais |together in this province.So we were ‘not surprised to see evidences of the fight between the government and the growers of this drug that has been So great a curse to the country.The jgreat bulk of opium,however,hasnotbeenraisedbyChina,but ship- iped in by England forcibly,for which sin that nation is surely to be judged. In one village we came upon two was cultivating the opium poppy. They had fastened heavy stocks around his neck.These had been securelylockedandsealedbyanoffi- cial and the man was being led from | village to village as an example.He| was forced to carry a large sign tell-|ing of his crime and the punishment| that was awaiting him.He was then |80 miles from home and was yet to} traverse a large section.At another place while eating lunch gun shots were heard in the village.We hur-ried out to see the excitement andfoundthat.an >officer was passingthroughthevillagefiringanoldmus-ket ‘to sho®the importance of heed-ing the opium laws that had beenhandeddownfromthepowersabove.

TUESDAY,-July 8,1913. The storm of last Thursday eve- ning was the worst of the season in the matter of damage by lightning. The cases of destruction and dam- age by lightning reported in The Landmark today,from this county and section,are unusually numerous and there are likely some cases not reported The address of President Wilson at Gettysburg .Friday,which The Landmark is printing today,4s in all respects admirable.The Charlotte Observer,mentioning the Wilson ad- dress,says the famous address *of Lincoln at Gettysburg,four months after the battle,which has ranked as a classic,has been “enormously over- praised.”While it has always re- garded the Lincoln address as a very great one,really a model in many respects,The Landmark has always thought it was “overpraised,”|ut in the face of what seemed to be the universal judgment it has not had the netve to say so.RRNA In the old days of hand-set type, when newspaper forms were locked up by means of wooden quoins,driven into place with an iron “shooting stick”and a wooden mallet,a form was occasionally ‘“pied”—fell to pidces.Such an accident was the ter- ror of the office.It delayed the paper and the type had not only to be re- set but infinite labor was required to sort it out and get it in place before the setting began.We had supposed that in these modern days of ma- chine set type and metal quoins pie- ing a form was almost unknown,but the Charlotte Observer of Sunday ex- plains that the paper was short a so- ciety page because one of the forms was pied.That isn't so bad as pieing a form of hand-set type,but the Ob- server may be thankful that it was a society page rather than a news page that was pied. ‘eee Senator Works of California has introduced a bill authorizing the President,at the beginning of his term,to appoint a commission of three men to make recommendations for office.Members of Congress and party leaders would stand aside un- der this arrangement and no appoint- ments would be made for political re- ward.It would be better for the country if some way could be found to relieve the President of the strain and worry of making thousands of appointments to minor offices,and infinitely better from the business standpoint if these appointments could be made on merit rather than for political reward.But we haven't reached that standard yet and it will be some time before we will be ad- vanced sufficiently for members of Congress to stop the habit-of paying their political debts out of the public Treasury by placing their friends on the government payroll. Several months ago two Wilming- ton men were victims of a gang of New York swindlers,who worked theold.wirgstaprive came:the Wilming- ton men losing about,$25,000.“Not- withstanding all this was exploited in the newspapers at the time,as such things are again and again—-so often that it would be natural to think that all newspaper readers would be on guard—last week a prominent citizen of Charlotte,Mr.E.L.B.Davidson, dropped $700 at this same game and Was preparing to put up $10,000 when friends to whom he told his good for- tune suggested that he notify the police,which resulted in the arrest of the confidence men;and the publicity of the Davidson affair brought out the fact that another North Caro- linian,from Sampson county,had lost a thousand or so in Baltimroe on the Same game.There are many easy marks whom no-amount of warning will save;and while men who con- duct this sort of business should be punished,we confess that we have no sympathy for the easy marks. They are actuated by greed—by the hope of making large gains—in these so-called investments,and they de- serve no sympathy ' stung. when they get emerratntnme The Fourth of July celebration at Guilford Battleetound was featured this year by the unveiling of a mon- ‘THELANDMARK \ TheHill,S:C,,will engage in the manu-facture of automobiles, Severe fighting between BulgariaandServiahasbeeninpreereefor ten days.It ‘appears that Greece, Servia and Montenegro have’accept-50}ed war with Bulgaria.

In.reply to a demand,‘after a re- quest from Postmaster General Bur- leson,Arthur’G.Fisk again refused to resign as postmaster of San Fran- cisco,In answering a telegram from Burleson he wired:“I do not recog- nize the right of any one to remove me except the President of the United States.” Recently the Arkansas Legislature discontinued the appropriation to the national guard of that State and now the Federal government has with- drawn its appropriation to the Ar- kansas soldiers,not because the State discontinued.its appropriation,but the Secretary of War says,for the reason that $115,000 worth of equip- ment was lost through the negligence of Arkansas officials. Hereafter,under the new excise law just put into effect in District of Columbia,any persons suspected of having “drunk not wisely but toowell”‘will be taken to a hospital for examination by a physician.Orders to this effect have been issued by Superintendent of Police Sylvester. The examining physician in each case will be called upon later to act as an expert witness in police court when- ever the convivial prisoner protests his innocence. About 2 o’clock on the morning of the 4th two men held up and robbed an Illinois Central passenger train on the trestles over the river bottoms in the vicinity of Batesville,Miss.,and secured considerable money from the postal and express cars.The passen- gers were not bothered.After.forcing the crews of the express,baggage and mail cars to go to the rear,the rob- bers ordered the train cut,the engine and the cars containing valuables go- ing about four miles further south. After looting the cars the robbers ran the engine 20 miles south to Pope, Miss.,where they abandoned it and escaped into the woods. At the automobile races at Colum- bus,Ohio,last week,Harry Knight was almost instantly killed and his mechanician,Milton McCalls of Hous- ton,Texas,was so badly injured that he died there,when Knight’s front wheel blew a right tire and turned over.The machine was making 70 miles an hour when the accident oc- curred.The car turned over twice and landed in an upright position. Knight was 23 years old.He gained the title of “Hero of the Indianapolis Speedway”several years ago,when he smashed into a brick wall in pref- erence to running down a driver who had been thrown from his car to the track.

Bills Introduced in Congress—Goese—Gov.Cox of Ohio Would Make Confed-a Inmates of Federal Soldiers’omes.

Pictorial Patterns for Au-gust are now on sale at our president | at all,after the Confederate veterans| are nearly all dead. This sentiment in favor of Federal| aid to Confederate veterans was| voiced at Gettysburg last week by| Gov.Cox of Ohio,who in a speech at the North Carolina camp declared that the time had long since come when the United States government should take care of disabled Confed- erate soldiers.“There are seven United States soldiers’homes in Ohio,”declared Governor Cox.“We do not need them all and I am in fa- vor of turning one of them over to North Carolina at once.No men in the history of the world’s battle ever fought harder than did the men who wore the gray;they deserve to be tak- en care of just as much as any other| men who fought in the war between the States,and I am ready now to have it done.”. Gov.Cox is a Democrat.A few years ago the public man,Democrat or Republican,who uttered such sen- timents in Ohio would have been driv-| en from public life;and the fact that the sentiment is openly proclaimed now by a Governor of a Northern State,shows how strong the feeling is. Few Victims of Gunpowder But Many Drowned on the 4th. New York Dispatch,5th.; While the movement for safety atid | sanity in the celebration of the Fourth | of July worked wonders in the reduc-| tion of the number of victims of gun-|powder,dispatches from a score ofdifferentpointsthroughoutthecoun-| try as noted here account for 41 per-| sons killed in a variety of other ac-| cidents incident to the out-pouringof | the holiday crowds. Twenty-eight persons were drown- ed,five persons were killed in auto- mobile accidents,five in a single train | aceident and two killed in aeronautic| sports.This count,being made from the comparatively few reports of minof tragedies,filtering through the| erush of holiday news,outnumbers more than twice the gunpowder ac-| cidents of the day.The list of drown-}ing accidents,known definitely to be | as many as 28,is probably far from| the correct.fotal..Such tragedies.are| so frequent that unless two or more} are victims at a time,the accidents| are not reported.

On account of a severe drought aboutplantingtime,it was difficult to.se- cure a stand of tobacco and the fre-quent replanting has made this crop very irregular,though there are some nice fields.A few of the farmers have already begun to gather and cure their tobacco,but the main cropwillnotbeontillaboutAugust.In- stead of cutting the whole stalk,as .}we do in western Carolina,only the leaves are gathered.This is made necessary on account of the fact that the whole stalk’does not ripen at the same time.The farmers are hardly expecting as large crop this year as last,but it will probably be an aver- age.

Practically the same vote was cast for each of the three issues,show- ing that the citizens wanted the whole thing.There was of course some op- sition to the issue Dy people who elieved that the town was about to overload itself,but since the election is over every ,one is ready to.see Mooresville forge to the front. In 1906 Mooresville voted to issue bonds to the amount of $10,000 for lights and at the same time $10,000 was issued by the graded school dis- trict for the purpose of erecting a graded school building.About two years later it was found necessary to have more money to complete the school building and $10,000 was is- sued for that purpose.At the same time the town issued $10,000 for street improvements and $15,000 for water,So when the present bonds are sold the town of Mooresville will have an indebtedness of $100,000 and the erad- ed school district,wnich includes a considerable section of country out- side of the town limits,owes $20,000. At the election Tuesday out of the 412 registered voters 284 voted for water,278 for sewers and 274 for street improvements,showing that a splendid majority of those registered were for improvements.The time had come for the town to stand still or move forward,and the question was settled Tuesday.It will move forward.f Dr.P.J.Chester has located,at least temporarily,in Mooresville for the practice of medicine and has his office over the Miller-White drug store. Dr.Chester is a son of Mr.P.A. Chester of Mooresville.He was grad-uated from the Carolina Medical Col- lege,Charlotte,last May and stood second in a class of more than forty.

Mr.Massey’s small grain crop, wheat and oats,totaled 700 bushels. Speaking of broadcasting wheat, how many of the younger generation know that in the old days,before wheat drills were Th vogue,the wheat was “brushed in.”The wheat was sown broadcast by hand,the land plowed and then a big brush,usually the top of a bushy tree,was cut, horses hitched to it and the brush dragged all over the -field,“brushing in”the wheat.The oldex farmers can eM hbbin i *, Bishop McKoy Will Preach Here “anthe20th.; Bishop James H.McKoy,who is to be present at the Statesville District Conference to be held at Davidson next week,has been secured to preach at Broad Street Methodist church Sunday morning,July 20.

Is it a sign that conscience is not so easily aroused now as formerly?Let us hope not,But the general trend is to excuse sins of omission and commission,even when the offender is caught red-handed.This being 50, it is possible that the individuals who have been making the conscience con- tributions have concluded that they were too zealous;that they were do- ing an unnecessary thing.he °** In Raleigh two fierce bull owned by E.L.Hatch and Champion,fell to fighting.Hatch pounded the Champion dog.«Mrs. Champion protested and appealed to Frank Stewart for aid.Stewart had “no ruthers”in the fight,but.being a gallant man he couldn’t resist the appeal of a lady,even to the extent of interfering in a dog fight.Stew- art’s entry in the ring was the signal for Hatch to leave the degs and give his attention to Stewart.Then the men fought while the dogs fought un- til the police came and called time on the bunch.The men paid fines in dogs, Mrs. ed,‘but the idea is abandoned.It is leaned that Dr,Page is drawing a salary of $35,000 a year from ,Double- day,Page &Co.,the publishing house in which he is interested,as World’s Work,and that this ee is being continued while he is abroad to make it possible for him to hold his job,Under the circumstances The Landmark has decided that Dr.Page doesn’t need its help,even if he does have to expend all his salary as am- bassador for house rent. *a a The man who endeavors to create a reform in women’s dress is wasting his efforts.Usually the women—that is,the great majority—-will wear whatever fashion decrees,no’matter what may be said:about the unattrac- tiveness or the immodesty of.the ap- parel.Some of us:had thought the styles had about reached the limit in exposing the female form,but not so.A report comes fr im Paris of a new style of split skirt with a “pistol pocket,”and there is another new style—a dress of material so thin that it is said to afford much less pro- tection from the public view than the average bathing suit.While criti- cism from “men folks”is love’s labor lost,it is gratifying to note that some of the women are beginning to pro- test.At a meeting of the Greensboro women’s club a few days ago this subject was discussed and it was decided to petition the women’s clubs in North Carolina to make protest. The new styles were described as overstepping the bounds of womanly modesty,“encouraging the regretta- ble tendency on the vart of some young girls and thoughtless women toward indecent exposure of person with all its degrading tendencies.” One member from a rural community said at this Greensboro meeting that secant dressing is becoming aoe 4 in rural communities as well as in the cities and that something should be done to “bring to the atténtion of mothers ,and others in charge of young,girls the necessity of taking a decided stand against,this insidious foe to maidenly modesty and the dig- nity and purity of true womanhood.” All of which is commended to the wives and mothers among The Land- mark’s readers who would aid in checking the prevailing style of im; modesty. of * The Charlotte Observer gives the information * enlightening the trouble among who,after whip- fallen to fighting following about the cause of the Balkan’allies, ping Turkey,have among themselves.The trouble,as was understood,is on account of the division of the spoils of war,and the Observer says: “The original agreement among these four countries before the declar ation of war provided for the parti- tion of Albania among Montenegro, Servia and Greece;and Bulgaria was to get most of Macedonia and Thrace. Through the interposition ‘of AuStria, however,Albania is to be made an independent or semi-independent State more or less under the influence of Vienna.So this big cut of pie was unavailable for the purposes design- ed,and Montenegro,Servia and Greece—except for whatever the pow- ers may permit the last-named to re- tain of the Turkish islands in the Agean—go almost unfed.Meantime, the opposite or eastern half,which had been assigned to Bulgaria by the agreement,has not been made the subject of any veto by Austria or the powers.It was to be and is Bulgaria’s share.Bulgaria gets all she had expected and even considerably more, while the others are left in the cold.

Charlotte Observer. editor of | had 08 facé a damage set CONVICTS AND RAILROAD WORK Directora of State Prison Fur- nishing Convicts on Railroad Work and Taking Stock For Payment— State Prison Running Behind— Council of State Would Fill Exist- ing Contracts.gta Raleigh Dispatch,8th,to Charlotte Observer. If the wishes of ‘the board of direc- tors of the State’s prison count for much,railroads in search of convict labor will have to go elsewhere than to the North Carolina penitentiary to.secure it.In their report made public tonight the dire¢tors and Su- perintendent Mann insist that article V,section 4,of the State constitution forbids State aid-to railroad construc- tion,unless approved by*the vote of the people.The council of State, however,stands firm on retaining the system as to fulfilling’present con- tracts where the promoters are meet- ing the terms required by legislative acts for such aid. The position of the directors is sim- ply that the railroad stock acquired through hiring of convicts fails to bring in the ready cash and has of- ten failed to bring any.They do not want to turn down offers of cash for the prisoners’labor and run behind on prison expenses,as the present situation thi¥atens to force them to do.. The prison directors report —that See =“I'm So Glad 7 You 7 Brought Ice Cream” shing. tight carton, :;,‘her’with a box of ice cream, the prison is now absolutely without funds except the railroad stock that| is pronounced worthless.The run-| ning expenses of the prison amount| upwards of $15,000 a month and with no revenue except this railroad stock| for labor in sight until far into the| fall,the State will probably have to | put up $93,000 or more for prison | maintenance by January 1.On the| other hand,there are numbers of applications for convict labor at $1.50 cash a day that would quickly | create a surplus to the prison,if| the railroad stock contracts were| terminated. A lengthy report by Supt.Mann gives in detail the conditions at all| these railroad camps.It pronounces| the Atlantic and Transcontinental op | erations a “sham and pretense,”at the same time crediting its promoters with honest intentions.A resolution was adopted specifying that whenever the State supplies convict labor in ex- change for stock in the road work this labor must represent only one-fourth of the work actually being done in road construction and the railroad promoters must give approved bond for the completion of the road.The conference agreed upon giving the Watauga &Yadkin River,Wilkes boro to Granite and Boone,100 con yicts in addition to the 31 the road now has,the company complying with the requirements. The matter of convicts.for Elkin &Alleghany,Stafesville Line and Transcontinental are unsettled. The State authorities are being cor strained to take the action they have as to restriction on State aid in road| building by the very unfavorable re-| port that the directors of the prison have submitted.It is practically to the effect that the State,under the | policy in vogue up to this time as to these matters,has been throwing | away upwards of $100,000 a year through taking the railroad stock | that proves to be worth really not five | cents on the dollar.|i} STATE NEWS.| Mrs.W.H.Hodges,wife of a car- penter who lives at Leland,six miles | from Wilmington,was shot and killed by her husband Tuesday.Hodges is | said to have been attempting the life| of a man whom he found in company} with her.He surrendered and was} held pending an inquest.| Traveling from his home in Hick-| ory to Newton to open court,Judge | Cline’s automobile frightened a -horse| which broke a buggy and resulted in! some injury to Mr.G.E.Moser,the} occupant of the buggy.Judge Cline} had Mr.Moser earéd for and the buggy repaired,Mr.Moser.absolyed his honor from blame,in which Judge Cline is fortunate.He might.have}& "Montreat,.Ridgecrest and other places in the vicinity of Black Moun- tain are headquarters for Presbyter- ians,Baptist,Methodist and other Christian workers who gather in sum- mer assemblies,and it is said an ef- It develops that Mr.William B.| Wilson,Secretary of Labor,spent a) day in jail in Cumberland,Md.,in} insignifieant men and the negro gen-'4894,the fact having been sprung in erally pay the penalty,but that the la certain newspaper by way of retal- wealthy and.influential are not pun-|jation for the part played by the Sec- ished as they should be.The Land-j|retary in the postponement of.the mark has often made similar remarks Caminetti trial.When he heard the and it is quoting Judge Carter sim-|matter was to be published the See: ply to show that an eminent_and able |retary made a statement of the af- Superior Court judge holds a similar |fair.It seems that at the time of view.The discrimination as between |his arrest and imprisonment Mr.Wil- classes in administering the iaw son was a miner in Pennsylvania and glaring and it is to our everlasting|was delegatedtoorganize a strike.A shame that this is so.Turning toleourt issued a restraining order the crime of homicide,Judge Carter |arsinst him and an enterprising sher- anid there are 30 times as many mur-|iff decoyed him aboard a train,car- ders in the United States as in Can-|rying him to a Maryland town,where ada,and he attributes the difference he was jailed,As soonas his ‘friends to the strict enforcement of the lawlheard of ahat had hinien ede shase erat in which he is doubtless hastened to his aid and took him from :!ri |Fate He was acquitted of the charge =jof contempt of court and that seems he |to be all there was to it.The .publi- t ut |cation of the story was intenged toSeiiRieiiioiiaibie:; Tar Heel,Dr.Walter H.Page,now eee ra Secretary with the ad- Suhesaador ‘ta Englands Dr.Bees lerieic ce a i this there will salary as ambagsador is $17,500.1 \dent iin dncktien,tases Sian has come out that even &modext|record of ii sabe a ficial i e ae et ee ad such as an ambassa-|s cabinet official. or would be expected to occupy anil |"e §ods atic .keep within respectable bocradar and Payloc ape ee as Clerk to cost near $17,000 a year.Dr.Page is|«one ommittec, not rated as a millionaire and just |Senator Simmons has appointed low he was to provide forliving ex-Jos,1.Tayloe of Washington (N.C) nses-——even in modest style when |.to the Senate finance commit- he had paid all his salary for house see to succeed A.D,Watts,appointed rent,was the matter that concerned be lector.Tayloe wanted to be.mar- The Landmark.When Page went to {Sha or collector of the eastern dis- New York more than a quarter of a |ict and is thus eliminated by this eed ago,vig Landmark,to help |?7°V'S!": -him along until he could get a start,|ST Goallhnchee paid him $1.50 a letter for weekly let |Ww.DD a pepe ters from New York—and the letters |Whitemou i were worth the mores.To help him |}!along in the present stress,an offer |ther é of a couplé“of “‘doliars Gr so for aj that one small battle of Chamberlain's Colic, Ww f¥om London to The |Cholea and Dingrhoen Remedy was.worth,letter ‘7 more to him than }the cost of his entire stocksighebeenconsider-of these medicinies.For sale by all dealers. .* While it hasn’t lost Landmart the fnancial condition of our fel any sleep, has been concerned « yell known merchant of,ught a stock of Cham- cine so as to he able to supplycuitomers.After receivinghimselftakensickandsays1he |th ithe office or the safe. fort will be made to locate a Catholic colony in the vicinity.A corporation will ask for a street car franchise to run car lines to the various places in e vicinity of Black Mountain.

The letters referred to are from twoStatesvillelawyers,who recall hear-ing Judge Furches talk about this matter but do not reeall that he said it Was a matter of record.The Land-mark has not questioned the state-ment of Judge Furches to JudgeClark,but Judge Clark quoted Judge Furches as saying “it is said the rec- ords of Iredell county show,”ete.Judge Furches did not say it was amatterofrecordandevidentlyhehaditfromtradition.The Landmark isawarethatthepunishmentmentionedWasinflictedundértheEnglishlawanditwouldbenoreflectiononIre-dell county if it had been inflicted in Iredell.But as it is not a matter ofrecord,so far as anybody can dis-cover,that the incident mentioned oc- curred in Iredell,The Landmark ob- to its being said that it is a matter of record. Conductors and Trainmen on 45 East- ern Railroads May Strike. Peace overttres ceased in’NewYorkTuesdaybetween45Eastern railroads and 100,000 members of the Order of Railroad Conductors and theBrotherhoodofRailroadTrainmen, after the employes’representatives in conference with the railroad man- agers announced that 94 per cent of thecmen had voted to strike for in-creased wages. for which somebody really deserves always stop| where it starts.If the damage wa: confined to the party responsible he would simply get deserved punish ment.But fire is no respecter of per- sons,and adjoining property-owners| who may have been careful,who have complied with the law,suffer loss through no fault of their own.An additional reason for punishing the man whose carelessness is responsible| for fires. Formerly all cases of sickness and death were regarded as visitations of the Almighty.But when sanitation is neglected,when we.carelessly use impure drinking water,allow flies to swarm over our food,or otherwise neglect ordinary precautions to safe guard cleanliness and health,sickness will surely follow and maybe death; and in such cases,the doctors will tell you,the blame should not be laid |on the Lord but on ourselves.The Lord is not responsible when wecould,by observing the-ordinary rules of health,escape the preventable dis<eases.And by the same token it should be said that Providence is not |!responsible for fires which result from | our own carelessness.One who wil-| fully disregards the rules of health and takes risks which he knows aredangerous,is morally responsible for the result—sickness or death.One|who neglects the»ordinary precau-| tions as to fire waste and wilfully and negligently permits conditions that cause fires,is morally responsible. There is no getting away from this fact.| These remarks are directed to no- munity generally..All of us are of- fenders at times and all of us need to | be constantly reminded of our duty in these matters—told of it again and again and punished if need be,untilwearesosufficientlyimpressedthat we neglect no longer.None of us liketobetoldofourfaults.Some of us get mad when reminded of our short-comings.But really we ought to be ashamed if we show resentment when asked to comply with regulations made necessary to msure our own safety and the safety of our neigh-bors.Moreover it is ‘the duty of a frood citizen to obey the law,no mat-ter if he thinks the law is wrong,andthisfirewastelawisanecessaryand.wise one.Instead of being offended when reminded of our negligence inthismatterweshouldfeelashamed that we have to cautioned about|a plain duty and should resolye that we will not offend again.Statesville some years ago put in commission-a garbage wagon to hauloffwasteandrubbishcollectedfrom business houses.It is a necessaryandconvenientinstitution;but some of us not only expect the garbagewagontoremoveallwasteaccumu- lated about the premises—we almostexpectthedrivertogoinsidethebuildingandcollectthewaste.Whentheinspectorcallsattentiontofirewastesometimestheansweristhatthetownhasn’t hauled it away.What-ever the towndoes in this respect is }Roll |Mrs laketch of Final action on the proposed tie- up remains with the general commit- tee of 1,000 of the conductors and trainmen’s organizations,and a meet- ing has been called for Saturday.It is the unanimous opinion in operat- ing cireles that the strike vote will be ratified,unless the companies of- fer increased wages or agree to ar- bitration.

FRIDAY,July 11,1913. Speaking before the Bankers’As- sociation in Asheville this week,Mr. J.J.Britt,former Third Assistant Postmaster»General,argued for one cent letter postage;and to make up for the loss by the reduction from two cents to one,Mr.Britt would double the rate on second-class mat- ter,thereby increasing the rate of postage on newspapers from one cent a pound to two cents.The Landmark seriously doubts if the publishers will take kindly to Mr.Britt’s sugges- tion. If the tariff revision bill becomes a law,as it has been passed upon by the Senate Demogratic caucus,many of its provisions will be tied up in the courts for interpretation,is the opin- ion of Republican Senate leaders. Senator Smoot,Republican member of the finance committee,professes to believe that the changes in phrase- ology and recldssifications in the bill are such that it will take four years of court procedure to settle just what they meant,and that revenues in the meantime would be held up.It is necessary,of course,for the Republi- cans to offer some objection. The Landmark congratulates Mr Cc.8.Tomlin on his appointment as a director of the North Carolina rail- road.The places are much sought and Goy.Craig has honored States- ville and the county by naming an Iredell man as a member.of the board.Mr.Tomlin ts a successful business man and well fitted for the place.The Landmark also pass- es congratulations to Mr.J.P.Cook of Concord on his appointment secretary and treasurer of the road. As chairman of the Senate committee of the last Legislature, Mr.Cook labored zealously to effect needed reforms in the State’s taxing system and his appointment recognition of his worth. is as finance is a Some of the newspapers and peo- ple who live in localities developed by railroads built by the State,or which the State aided in building,have grown very virtuous since they “got theirn,”and now think:it all wrong for the State to furnish aid to build railroads to develop other sections.

Greensboro News, One of the needed reforms in legis- lation is an amendment to the con- local _selfygoverr- ment in matters of a pure- ly local ‘nature.We have Witnessed:for years ,sessions.of the Legislature that were so clogged with local matters that little or no thought could be given to matters of State~ wide or general nature.Yet much of this local legislation was legislation that was needed by the counties,cities, towns and townships,and that must be procured through the Legislature as no other means”were.provided, This mass of local legislation has served well to’clog the wheels and has been used as a clog very success- fully by those who wished to kill such general measures as primary bills, or other measures looking toward bet- ter government. This problem has been faced by the special legislative commission to sug- gest amendments to the constitution of North Carolina and the following amendment to Article II has been passed on its second reading and will undoubtedly be approved next week at Raleigh and submitted to the Legis-lature to enact and submit to the peo- ple for ratification: That Article II of the constitution be amended by adding at the end thereof the following: Sec.29.The General Assembly shall not pass any local,private or special act or resolution changing the name of cities,towns or townships, authorizing the laying out,opening, altering,maintaining or discontinu- ing of highways,streets or alleys; relatihg to ferries or bridges,relat- ing to game or hunting;relating to non-navigable streams;relating to cemeteries;relating to pay of jur- ors;erecting new townships or changing township lines,or the lines of school districts;remitting fines, penalties or foffeitures,or refund- ing monies legally paid into the pub- lic treasury;exempting property from taxation;regulating labor, trade,mining or manufacturing;ex- tending the time for the assessment or collection of taxes or otherwise relieving any collector of taxes from the due performance of his official duties or his sureties from liability; giving effect to infofmal wills and deeds. Nor shall the General Assembly en- act any such local,private or special act by the partial repeal of a general law,but the General Assembly may at any time repeal local,private or special laws, Any local,private or special act or resolution passed in violation of the provisions of this section shall be void, The General Assembly shall have power to pass general laws regulat- ing the matters set out in this sec- tion. permit more Conscience Fund Dwindling—The Average For a Hundred Years. Washington Dispatch. Fewer penitents,tortured by the “still small voice,”confessed and surrendered “conscience monéy”to the Federal government during the fiscal year 1913 than for many years. The “conscience fund”received dur- ing the 12 months ended June 30,to-taled only $2,814.44,the lowest amount since 1901 and comparable with a hundred-year average of $4,200, That fund is the only official index to scruples but no Treasury official attempts to explain the decrease in restitution of money received from the government by fraud or error. During the past 100 years the gov- ernment has received conscience con- tributions aggregating nearly a half- ‘million dollars,the actual figures up fo June 306 last being $484,615.69.The remarkable fund was established dur- ing President Madison’s administra- ition in 1811,when the first contribu- tion of $5 was received.The largest jamount ever received in one year was $835,868 in 1902,and the greatest in- dividual contribution of $18,669.60 was miade to the collector of customs jin New Yerk more the-oA aoe iby an unknown persem whe probably |had defrauded the government-of tar- |iff duties.

Would Build Summer Capitol—An- other Scheme to Spend Money. Washington Dispatch. The construction of a $250,000 con crete “Summer Capitol”on Braddock the Blue Ridge mountains,near Har per’s Ferry,W.Va.,or Bluemont,Va., has been suggested by Congressman William P.Borland,of Kansas City. Mr.Borland takes the position that the enormous increase in congression al work has resulted in summer ses sions of Congress and Washington heat is a barrier}for effective labor on the part of Representatives.Mr Borland will introduce a bill in the House on the subject with the hope of bringing the merits and demerits of the proposition in debate. “It would not be necessary to trans fer the whole legislative plant to the mountains,”said Mr.Borland.“A building of concrete and steel and two legislative chambers and the necessary committee rooms could be constructed for a limited amount of money,probably for $250,000,and certainly well within the.half-mil lion mark, “The plant is feasible enough,and 98 in the shade within the hall of the House of Reprseentatives is enoughtomakeonethinkseriouslyOfthis proposition,which I would like to se« investigated.”Frederick,Harper’s Ferry and Bluc mont are within two hours’ride of Washington.

In the spring of 1880 Coddle Creek township voted $10,000 of bonds to help build a narrow gauge railroad from Winston-Salem to Mooresville. The campaign was a strenuous ore. Bonds were not so popular then as they are now,but the Mooresville people put their shoulders to the wheel and went at it with an enthu- siasm that carried all before it.A} big rally was held at Mooresville dur-| ing the campaign at which Col.Wm.| Johnston of “Charlotte,Col.J.Tur-| ner Morehead of Leaksville and Col.| Chas.R.Jones,then editor of the Charlotte Observer,were speakers.| Conspicuous among the managers of the local campaign were A.Leazar, Isaac Harris and others.All the men named are now dead.Much worl was done in grading for the narrow| gauge and then it was proposed to} extend the Virginia Midland from} Danville,Va.,south by Winston-Sa-| lem.to Mooresville.John S.Barber,| afterward -United States Senator} from Virginia,visited Mooresville in | that behalf.But one fine day the} Richmond and Danville,the predeces-} sor of the Southern,bought the Vir-| ginia Midland and that ended talk of| the extension.For years nothing was heard of the railroad and the grading| washed away.But by and by the| Southern wanted a line from Win- ston to Mooresville and it built it.It is called the North Carolina Midland probably because it was originally in- tended to be an extension of the Virginia Midland.Coddle Creek township got stock in the road for the $10,000 of bonds voted in 1880;and these are the bonds that have been paid.

ITEMS.OF ALL SORTS. President Wilson,who spent a week at his summer home at Cornish,N.H. returned to Washington yesterday. William J.Price,postmaster at Meridian,Miss.,has been arrested charged with embezzling $4,000 to $5,- 000 of postoffice funds.He was re- leased on a bond of $6,000. Eight men,all members of a party of Boston &Maine freight handlers, who were taking a day’s outing in the Boston harbor Sunday,were drown- ed when their boat capsized. President Wilson has appointed for- mer Lieutenant Governor Joseph E. Willard of Virginia,to be minister to Spain,and Justice James W.Gerard of New York to be ambassador to Germany. Capt.R.P.Hobson,for several years member of Congress from Ala- bama,is contesting with Senator Johnson for the latter’s place in the United States Senate.The election will not take place until next year but the campaign is already on. Whether a strike of upwards of 80,- 600 conductors and trainmen on 45 Eastern railroads shall be declared within the next few days,depends up- on whether the railroads recede from their present position and withdraw from their refusal to arbitrate the wage and other differences between the companies and the men. The bursting of a tire on the wheel of a touring car carrying a party of South Carolina people,near Troy,N. Y.,resulted in the death of-one young woman and the more or less serious injury of all the others in the party. The victim was Miss Gertrude Mordecai of Charleston,S.C.,the daughter of Judge T.M.Mordecai, Americans in Danger in’Mexico. Hertry Lane Wilson,American am- bassador to Mexico,has protested to the Mexican minister of foreign af- fairs against.further anti-American demonstrations.In his note to the Mexican government the ambassador deplored that the youth of the capital public manifestations which were cal- culated to result in violence to Amer- icans resident in Mexico.He indicated the danger of allowing persons to use as tools the student&’and others who expected to participate.He remind- ed the Mexican government that in case any American was injured he would use all the power at the com- mand of the embassy to secure repar- ation, As a result of the threatening at- titude toward Americans in Mexico, American citizens are leaving that country by every boat and_train. Many of them face financial ruin in consequence of the series of revolu- tions which has paralyzed commer- cia]and industrial enterprises. Bad State of Affairs in Balkans. A dispatch from London says there is no sign of peace on the Balkans. Greece and Servia have declined to agree to an armistice.The Turkish army is advancing by forced marches from Tchatalja and Bulair-apparent- ly with the consent of Greece and Servia to attmpt the recapture of Adrianople and Thravre.Rumania is said to be proceeding to occupy a much larger extent of Bulgarian ter-ritory than she previously claimed and Greece is burning to avenge the Bulgarian massacres,concerning which horrifying details continually appear in official reports issued from Saloniks.According to these reports ears and fingers of Greek women still bearing ear-rings and rings were founa in the pockets of Bulgarian prisoners.sttnteiansaintiiinenpeeatetinnsstetistuiciaies For Weakness and Loss of Appetite The Old Standard general strengthening tonic,GROVE’S TASTELESSchillTONIC,drivesout Malaria and builds up the eystem,A true tonicandsureAppetizer,For adults and children,60c. were to be permitted to indulge.in|, rmon &Co.ExplaintheTroubleatTheirStor To the Editor ofThe Landmark: We know that The Landmark takespainstobetruthfulandfairandweattributetoyourinformanttheer-rors in your news item about the dif- ficulty between Dr.Long and’Mr,Ed.Harmon,No loafers congregate at BidsonandHarmon’s store.It is as freefromthatnuisanceasanyplaceof business in the county.

Holton and Logan to Be Asked to Re- sign anWillBe Appointed ‘Their Success-ors. Washington Dispatch,Greensboro News. The statement was made here to- day upon what is considered high authority that the resignation of Dis- trict Attorney A.E.Holton and United States Marshal W.E.Logan will be asked for within the next 30 days.From equally as high an authority ~it is learned that unless some unforeseen complications arise W.C.Hammer will be given the place vacated by Holton and that ManleyMcDowellwillbeappointedinthe place of Logan,This information has been forecasted in these dispatches, but the “tip”given today comes from such high authority it is believed thatitisnowsettledthatthejobswillbedistributedasabovementioned. Hammer,while a close personal friend of Senator Overman,will not be appointed for that reason alone,it issaid.The claim is made that Ham- mer has the largest indorsement ofanycandidatefortheplaceandis only exceeded by that presented by Watts,who was named for collector for the western district.Charles A. Webb has a goodly number of letters indorsing him for the place sought by Mr.Hammer,but it is claimed that Hammer’s exceeds that of the Ashe- ville man.It is said also that ‘be- cause Mr.Webb has not practiced law as.actively as Hammer the Attor- ney General looks with favor upon Hammer rather than Webb. In the case of McDowell strong pressure has been brought to bear up- on the Senators to turn the Morgan- ton man down in favor of some one from the tenth district,but after a careful survey of at!matters per- taining to the job it now looks like McDowell is an easy winner. 12th,to Crooked Glasses Strain the eyes.Accidents and loose screws cause them to get out of order:I will be glad to tighten and line them up complimentary, just for the sake of seeing them right,no matter where your work was done.

A wife and eight or ten exceptionally obedient,well-be-haved and manner-ly children bless his home.Mr.Jen-nings is a farmer-merchant and oper- ates a grist mill and a saw mill.Al- together“he is a substantial citizen. For a day about once a year Mr. Jennings “shuts up'shop”and devotes the entire time to a strenuous pursuitof.the opportunities for pleasure that surround him.Such opportunities are many and varied.In a stone’s throw to the south of Mr.Jennings’ home is a mill pond of considerable depth.From this comes the powertooperatehismills.In a stone’s throwontheeastandonthewestisa branch.‘The one on the east supplies a fish pond stocked with bass and pike.There are a aumber of good springs and good shade trees around the house.

With a couple of seines,sticks,a hoe and other means the party caught and killed 100 pounds or more fish, mostly suckers and «ats.It was fine fun.The fish had a very slim chance to escape.If he went under a rock or under the bank and refused to come out for the chucking of a hoe there were those to go after him with their hands.Once out in the water the seine would pick him up,or if one got out in the shallow places the boys would belabor him with a stick, and one fellow went so far as to chop a sucker’s head off with a hoe.Others found it convenient to sit down on them in the shallow pools and pick them up with their Lands. We quit fishing’about 8 o’clock in the afternoon and adjourned to a cool place at the mill to ’vide up. done in the good old way.When it wag determined how many divisions there had to be a large sucker was picked to start each pile.Then one of the party turned his back and would call out what pite got the next After a good dinner we went to} Osborneville,Wilkes county,and| spent awhile at the old home of Mr.| R.A.Cooper,where all the older| children of the late W.M.Cooper were born.We visited the Rock| House on Ostorne creek.This is a! natural arch of solid reck and was| supposed to have been used by I dians.Now it is a great Saiadhiageoellforthewilddirtdauber After supper we went out on the branches to gig for frogs and eels.

Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News.: It is quite likely that G.H.Russell will have rough sledging before ‘he finally lands as postmaster at Laurin-burg.Russell was recommended fortheplaceseveralweeksago.by Con- eressman Page but his nomination has not,yet been sent to the Senate and it is understood that his name has not even been sent to the Presi- dent by Postmaster General Burle- son,The cause of this delay,it issaid,is based upon opposition to Rus- sell by Senator Simmons.; It seems that friends of Senator Simmons were under the impression that Russell would manage the Sim-mons’fight in Scotland county during the senatorial campaign,but it devel-oped that Russell was not very en- thusiastic for the senior Senator. Furthermore,it is allered,Russell was interested to such an extent.in other candidates that he went a dis- tance of 20 miles to hear Claude Kitchin make a speech and 30 miles to hear Chief Justice Walter Clark deliver a choice oration against the senior Senator,During all this time, the friends of Senator Simmons say, Russell was being carried on the list of confidential managers of Senator Simmons and letters of confidential nature were sent to the Laurinburg man.It is not charged,however,that Russell made improper use of this literature.ri Russell’s friends point to his record as a Democrat.They recall the try- ing days of Democracy in North Car- olina when the State was about to beovercomebythePopulists,when Rus- sell,then a small farmer,took the stump in behalf of the Democratic party and carried the county for his party.Since that time,Russell’s friends say,he has been a wheelhorse for Democracy and they insist that he should be appointed Because of his official duties in con- nection with the public schools Rus- sell says he could not take an active part in the senatorial fight.He did, however,vote for Simmons.A.H. James is the choice of Senator Sim- mons and the senior Senator will prob- ably insist upon his appointment.In the meantime Congressman Page,it is said,has but ohe choice for the |Laurinburg office and will stand pat jon Russell. |The Best Medicine in the World.|“My little girl had dysentery very bad.I |thought she would die.Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured her,and |ean truthfully say that I think it is the|best medicine in the world,”writes Mrs.|William Orvis,Clare,Mich.For sale by all|dealers.

Anti-Saloon League Man Again Con-vieted and Case Appealed—An Un- usual State of Affairs. The case of Rev.R.L.Davis,su-perintendent of the State ‘Anti-Sa-loon League,is attfacting attention.Mr.Davis prosecuted a drug clerk in Raleigh for selling liquor illegally, the evidence being furnished by a de- tective named Greene.At the hear-ing in the Raleigh police court the drug clerk was acquitted and as thecrowdleftthecourtroomone Straughn,a hanger-on,attacked Greene.It is alleged that while thefightwasonMr.Davrs,who was pres- ent,struck Straughn over the head with the bottle of liquor which was used in evidence against the drug clerk.Mr.Davis was indicted for as- sault.At the trial in the police court he testified that he did not strike Straughn and did not even_have the bottle of liquor out of his pocket dur- ing the fight.Other witnesses swore they saw him strike Straughn and he was convicted and fined $10.The case was appealed,Mr.Davis and his friends alleging that the convic- tion was the result of a frame-up on the part of the blind tiger opera- tors and their friends in Raleigh,forthepurposeofdiscrediting’Mr.Davis. In the Superior Court last.week the testimony was about the same ex- cept.that Detective Greene swore that the wounds on Straughn’s head, alleged to have ‘been made by Mr. Davis with the bottle,were made by him (Greene),he having struck Straughn with ‘brass knucks.Mr. Davis positively asserted his in- nocence.Other witnesses,one a clerk in the postoffice,who proved a good character,swore they saw him takethebottleoutofhispocketandstrike Straughn.The jury convicted Mr. Davis.Judge Cooke was asked to set the verdict aside and it was stated that new evidence,just discovered, would be offered to corroborate Mr. Davis.The judge refused and im-posed a fine of $10.He said he would not have convicted Davis had he been on the jury,but he could not say theaministerofthegospelwasrecent-}verdict was against the weight of thelyconvictedincourtthereofanas- sault,the conviction being secured on perjured testimony by a frame-up engineered by the blind tigers and their friends. **° Senator Hitcheock of Nebraska around about.Practically no tohacco is either grown or manufactured—in his State.—Charlotte Observer, Possibly Senator Hitchcock has an idea that he is a Senator of the Unit- ed States and not simply a Senator from Nebraska.That taea ix some- what antiquated,to be sure,but it is the proper one nevertheless.With- out passing on the merits of Senator Hitchcock's tobacco tax or on hig sin- cerity of purpose,we may say that it is a matter of regret that Senators and Representativés in Congress do not take a broad view.of -their du- ties and stahd for those things that benefit the whole country rather than magnify the idea,as they do,that their concern ig chiefly,if not solely,| with the affairs of their States or dis-tricts.It is proper for a member or “Senator to look after the needs and in- testimony.‘Case goes to the Supreme Court.

SEGREGATE THE RACES. Whites and Blacks Should Be Separ-ated in Rural Communities FitheBenefitofBoth.te ea that the programme committee of theNationalFarmers’Union has askedlocalunionsattheirnextingtodiscusstheproblemofsegregatingtheraces;in the South’s rural dis-tricts as is already the policy.in thetowns.It ig asserted that thousandsofwhitefarmersarebeingdrivenfromtheirhomesbythegrowingnumberofnegrofarmersaroundthemandthe,consequent lack of ade-quate white social life.The hope istogiversapublicsentimentwhichwillrequirenegroestobuylandincommunitiestothemselvesinsteadofbreakingupwhitecommunitiesbyin-diserminate sandwiching white and negro farmers together.In discuss-ing the matter further,Mr.Poe said: “For the good of both races,the negroes should buy land and settle aslargelyaspossibleinneighborhoodsoftheirown.For example,fifty ne-gro families ‘and fifty white families together in a district can have onlyhalfasgoodschoolsforeitherraceastheycouldhaveifallthehundredfamilieswereofonerace;and withregardtochurches,libraries,co-oper- ative societies,social meetings andnearlyallotheragenciesofvitalcivilizationthe’same thing ig true.To have half the communify com- posed of a separate race cuts in half all the social power for progress. “The big fact we have to face is that in thousands and thousands ofcommunitiesintheSouth,the negro farmers are not only subjecting the white farmers to more or less disas- trous economic competition by their lower standards of living,but in many sections the growing number of ne-groes is driving the white people to the towns for social reasons.When the white population in a community becomes too small or too scattered, when the white farmer’s wife,and children find more negro neighborssl than white neighbors around them,a tremendous motive is given for mov- ing away—and if the farmer moves some negro will probably buy his land at a sacrifice because other white farmers have the same feeling and do not care to buy land in a predomi- nantly negro community.Such is the negro’s flagrantly unfair advantage for driving white people off the farms and taking the rural South for him- self.Public sentiment must find us a remedy.” When Gen.Early Levied Assessments in Maryland. A dispatch from Frederick,Md., says the 9th was the forty-ninth an- viversary of the levying by Gen.JubalEarlyofaransomof$200,000 upon that city.The money was paid under threat of burning the town.General Early’s command number-ed about 30,000 cavalry,artillery and infantry,and after levying and secur- ing $20,000 in Hagerstown to Frederick.The request for the money was made in a note to the may- or,signed by W.J.Hawkes,chiefcommanderConfederateStatesArmy of Virginia.The mayor called togeth- er the town council,which acceded to the demand.The money was taken from the banks of the city in green- backs and carried in baskets and de- livered to the officers,who gave a receipt for it.The debt has never been repaid and remains a burden to taxpayers. By paying the ransom United States government supplies aggregating $1,- 000,000,stored in warehouses in the city at the time,were saved.,For years an effort has been made to have Congress refund the principal amount, but thus far without avail.

The school lunch is deserving of more consideration than many pa- rents give it.Childhood is an im- pressionable age and great care should be exercised as to influences that are brought to bear on the child during this critical period of its life.

AGAIN Meeting in Raleigh Tuesday Made Some Progress—Final Effort to Get Together. THE RATE CONFERENCE Gov.Craig,the council of State and corporation commission and rail- road officials were in conference in Raleigh Tuesday in an effort to reach an amicable settlement of .freight rate discriminations against Nerth Carolina shippers.It is announced that some progress was made and that the corporation commission and traffic managers of the railroads will work out a schedule to be passed on at a meeting at Old.Point Comfort next Tuesday. At the Raleigh meeting Gov.Craig and Chairman Travis reiterated the position of the State and made it clear that nothing less than 25 per cent reduction of present rates,these refluctions to apply vo the most gen- erally handled classes of freight, could be seriously cofsidered by theStateauthorities. There was a response to these ents by General Counsel Thoms the Southern railway,in which h@ presented the matter from the viewpoint of the railroad companies, |their desire to maintain friendly and |¢O-Operative relations with the North |Carolina authorities and shippers and |the necessity for maintaining a parity in freight rate zones that would yield a living revenue.He feared that to comply with the demands of the North Carolina shippers would disor- ganize the whole system of rate-mak- ing and bring speedy disaster to the carriers. When it came to threshing out the differences it is said each side found they were nearer together than they |thought and a final effort to get to-|} gether will be made next week. Made Himself Unworthy of His Own Oath. Durham Herald. A young man appeared at the of- fice of the register of deeds (a few! days ago)for the purpose of purchasing license to marry,but.the papers were denied him for the sim-ple reason that Mr.Markham believ- ed the youth to be entirely too young to follow out the desires of his heart. with what his name happened to be, or that of his lady love either,but he did say that he was from Monris- ville and the young lady a resident of Apex. The aspirant was backed and sup- ported by a young man who was wil-ling vo swear to any question that Mr. Markham might ask,but he was not given this privilege,as the register remembered this same fellow to be the one who gave the parent of his present wife a lot of trouble over asimilaraffair.The sponser visited three different counties,includingDurham,in an effort to get license to marry and after returning home wasuedforslanderbyhispresentfath- er-in-law.After being bonded by the court he ran‘away to Oxford,where he secured license and mar- ried the young lady.Mr.Markham didn’t wish to hear him swear aboutthelatestcouple.

Threatened Strike Called Off—Differ-ences to Be Arbitrated. Representatives of the 80,000 con- ductors and trainmen of eastern,rail-Ways who had voted to strike for higher wages and managing officers of the railroads agreed at the White House Monday to submit their differ- ences to arbitretion under the provis- ions of the Newlands-Clayton —act, which President Wilson and congres- sional leaders promised to make law at once. This victory for arbitration over the strike was the result of a _two- hour conference at the White House between President Wilson and con- gressional leaders,beth Republicans atd Democrats,the presidents and managers of the railroads and repre- sentatives of the Brotherhoods ofTrainmenandConductors.The agree- ment not only averted,temporarily, at least,the strike which threatened to tie up railroad traffic generally in the East,but smoothed out differ- ences of opinion that had arisen in both houses as to the composition of the board of mediation and provided a permanent commission to deal withrailroaddisputes. Both houses of Congress Tuesday passed the Newlands-Clayton bill providing for arbitration,and it was signed by President Wilson.It cre- ates the Board of Mediation and Con ciliation.The board is headed by a commissioner and government offi- cials selected by the President.

Raleigh Dispatch,16th,to GreensboroNews. Taking the p sition that the injee- tion of the initiative and referendum,if incerporated in the amendments to be submitted to the people,would sojeopardizetheratificationoftheoth- er amendments as to make theiradoptionat-the polls doubtful,Gov- ernor Craig this afternoon told the commission on constitutional amend- ments that he would not offer this principle at this time._He declared that greater than all amendmepts is that of revenue and taxation,the seg- res'ation featur f which com-ménded as the ribht step f bs ing every man an equal opportunity. Following Governor Craig,Judge Clark took up the cudgel in defense of the initiative and referendum,he de- claring that in the final analysis the people ought to be allowed to say what shal]become laws. The Governor and the Chief Jus tice differed only on the wisdom ofsubmittingtheinitiativeandreferen-dum,Governor Craiy seeing the ob- jections of thousands of intelligent and honest men and not being opposed to the principle himself.The Govern- or was strong in his advocacy of thesegregationofthesourcesoftaxation,80 that each county would be made tostandonitsownbottom,and JudgeClarkwaspositiveindeclaringthatthepolltaxrequirementshouldbeeliminated,as the burden of taxationfinallyrestsonthepoorman.JudgeClarktookastrongstandagainatgiv-ing the Governor the power of veto,he saying that one man should not beallowedtooverridethewillofthepeople.

AMBASSADOR CALLED HOME. Ambassador to Mexico Summoned Home For a Conference. Washington Dispatch,16th.| President Wilson today,after an early conference with Secretary Bry- an over the latest aspects of the Mex- ji¢an situation,presented by inquiries lof foreign powers as to the attitude of the United States,ordered Ambas- sador Henry Lane Wilson,at Mexico City,to.proceed to Washington imme- diately for a conference. Ambassador Wilson will .hurry jnorth on either the battleship Michi-jgan-or Louisiana from Vera Cruz,if jany delay would be entailed by wait- ing for a commercial steamer.Offi- cials here believe that tne almost to. tal interruption of rafrroad traffic be- tween Mexico City and the United States will force the ambassador’to tnake his trip by water.He is not ex- pected here before July 28 at the ear- liest.It is believed in official and diplo- matic circles that an important an- noureement of .the attitude of the United States in the pending situa-tion will be made after the ambassa- dors’conference with the President dor’s conference with the President and Secretary Bryan.The President's action today,coming closely after the unofficial announcement that some have recognized the Huerta govern-| ‘|ment were pressing for some indica-|tion of this govarnment’s attitude| toward the continued disorders in| Mexico,leads to that belief. It is assumed that the administra-| tion desires to learn from the ambas- sador directly what influences actuat- ed the foreign diplomatic reports in| Mexico when they jointly agreed to|address their governments with what |amounted to a formal complaint|against the attitude of the United|States in its relations with the Huerta |regime.President Wilson has kept an openmindonthesubjectandisthoughttofeelhimselfboundtoadhereto|the policy he announced early in his |administration of lending moral en-|couragement only to such ,govern-ments in Latin-America as werefoundeduponconstitutionallawandpractice.However,tt is understoodthat.he is ready to give due weighttoanyrepresentationsAmbassador‘Wilson may care to make.

Two correspondents mention it in The Landmark today.Mr.Marshall was driving along the road when a pistol was fired.The ball entered thumb and ranged up above the elbow, lodging between the elbow and the shoulder.Unless Mr.Marshall was holding his arm straight at the time, it is remarkable that the ball didn’t lodge at the elbow or pass out there; and it is also remarkable that a ball fired from the roadside as he was passing in a buggy took effect in this peculiar manner.The ball was lo- cated by the x-ray at the Sanatorium Saturday and removed.

Bishop MeCoy is not only a powerfulpreacher,but an excellent gentleman pereeny)and during his brief stay ere he made many friends.The central idea of his masterful discourse Sunday morning was the importance of the commonplace in life and by his own plain,simple life the bishop shows that he believes what he preaches.He showed that the really great man is not the one who does something out of the ordinary but the man who can walk and faint not; he who keeps his spirit and lives his life with nothing entering into it but the commonplace things.Bible ilus- trations were given.Bishop McCoy went from Statesville to Hickory,where he preached Sunday night. Shooting Yesterday—-One Negro Seri- ously Wounded Another. Sylvester Davidson,a negro wholivesinthevicinityofWeston’s store,a few miles north of Statesville,wayshotandpossiblydangerouslywound-ed yesterday morning by Isidore Al- lison,another newro who lives on north Tradd street,in the “Box Car Row.”The shooting occurred near the home of Allison.Davidson and other negroes had been at Allison’s and Davidson had started home.A\l- lison followed him a short distance and asked him if he was going to pay a debt of $2.Davidson claims he assured Allison that the debt would be paid,but Allison did not accept his statement and becoming enraged drew his pistol and fired.The ball entered Davidson's neck just below the jaw bone.Beseming frightened after fir ing the shot Allison’accompanied Davidson”to Billingsley hospital, where the.ballet was extracted.It was found near the skin in the back of the neck,having gone almost en tirely through the neck.The ball had not penetratea any very vital port, however,and Davidson war able to co from the hospital to the home of his mother in Rankintown,the negro set- tlement on the north.Unless com- plications set in the wound is expected"té heal wifhout sdrious results,Davidson claims that after being shot Allison proposed to him that th¢y “fix up”the matter and pretend ,that it was an accident..When Deputy Sheriff Gilbert heard of the shooting late yesterday afternoon and went to see Davidson the latter at first told the officer that it was an accident, but later admitted the truth.While the officer was talking to Davidson Allison arrived on the scene and was arrested and taken to jail.He will be given a preliminary hearing as soon as Davidson can attend court.

July 22,1918.= « A member of the constitutional amendment commission who,opposed the initiative and referendum was very much afraid the measure would be used to secure the repeal of the prohibition law.Nonsense.Does any- body who knows anything about pub- lic sentiment in North Carolina doubt for a moment what the result would be if a measure to repeal the prohi- bition law was submitted to the peo- ple?Such arguments are evidence of the lack of real argument against the fnitiative and.referendum,through which State prohibition was secured in North Carolina and without which it could not have been secured.The real prohibitionists on the commis- sion expressed’no such fears.Keep it in mind always,that opponents of the initiative and referendum do not want the people to have an opportu- nity to express themselves.They are afraid of the voice of the people.**© According to the four year rule,Mr. Holton has something like a year and one half to serve yet and it is said that he will resist being turned out.—Le- noir News.Oh,no!“According to the four- year rule”Mr.Holton,as The Land- mark has several times pointed out, completes this year four terms of four’ years each,having been first commis- sioned in 1897.Mr.Holton has a commission which does not expire un- til 1915,but this is due to the fact .that when some of his four year terms expired he was not promptly recommissioned.Lapses were per- mitted and when the commission was issued it was dated on day of issue and not on date of expiration of for mer commission,as would have been fair.In this way Holton has gained near two years in the 16 years and The Landmark insists that he is not entitled to this time.He has had four terms of four years each and is not entitled to the time gained by fudg- ing.He should resign if asked and if he doesn’t he should be ousved. e eo & In Buncombe Superior Court last week Judge Carter tried banishment as a punishment,two or three de- fendants in criminal cases being al-lowed to go on condition that they leave the State for good.The most notable of these cases was that ofWileyBlack,a notofious citizen of‘Asheville,who has been in the courts turers,which employed -Mulhall,seoms to have been much interestedinMulhall’s work and to have writ-ten letters suggestitig that efforts be‘made to defeat certain Congréssmen.Noting this interest and the fact thatMr.Tompkins was a mt of Mr.Webb’s district,Mr.Mulhall.natural-ly assumed that Mr.Tompkins andWebbhadanunderstanding.,He waswrong,but under the circumstances the assumption was perfectly natur- al.*** In berating Mr.Bryan for partisan purposes,the Republican Senators simply invited the uncovering of pub-lic records which put them in thehole.Not only have Republican of- ficeholders again and again left pub-lic business to attend to private af-fairs and go on junketing trips atpublicexpense;but worse still,theyhaveusedthetimeforwhichthey were paid to attend to public businessforpartisanpoliticalpurposesandhaveoftenpaidtheexpensesofthesetripsoutofpublicfunds.There is no tharge that Mr.Bryan’s lecturesareforpartisanpurposes,and in that respect at least he has not gone thelengthsofRepublicanofficials.But nomatterwhatRepublicanshavedone, it is the business of Democrats to do right.When we are charged with shortcomings,it is very well to re« mind the Republicans that they arenotinpogitiontocriticise,but it does not make a thing right to say the Republicans have practiced it.WehavedenouncedtheRepublicansfor these things and promised that we would do better,and it is up to us toshowthatwemeantwhatwesaid. Mr.Townsend is right in saying that the case of Mr.Bryan involves not only the technical legal question of the right of a public servant to sell his services twice,but the announce- ment that aiman of well-advertised democratic tastes cannot live on $12,-000 a year,presents a moral question as well.Without discussing the lat- ter point,The Landmark holds that no man who accepts a place in the public service to which he is ex- pected to give his whole time,has a moral or legal right to devote a part of that time to other business.It is no answer to say the salary does not afford a support.He should have considered that before accepting the place;if he did not realize the conditions until afterward,he should resign.

But it ought to interfere with his law practice.The Landmark is mighty fond of Mr.Bailey and it will rejoice in any good fortune that comes to him;but it is frank to say that he, nor any one,has any business to take an office that pays $4,500 a year and then devote most of his time to pri- vate business.If an internal reve- nue collector has so little to do that he can attend to the business of his office and carry on some other busi- ness—especially a business requiring so much of his time as an established law practice—then the system should be changed;some of the clerks in the office should be dropped and the col+ lector given more to do.The bane ef our public service is the neglect of the public business and the idea that@mancantakeanimportantpublic office and then go on with some other business is all wrong.If there is so little work attached to the office it should be abolished or more work at-tached to it.*.

Senator Lewis asked when the Senator from Kansas and the Sena tor from Michigan had become so“subtly inoculated with a compre- hension of the dangers”of a public official spending his vacation ad- dressing the people on questions of vital interest to them.He said it could not have been when a Repub lican President was campaigning at the expense of the.taxpayers. “Where was the voice of protestwhenapostofficeofficialturnedhim- self into a great political machine to elect another public official to the presidency?”e inquired.“Where was the voice when Major Ray aban- doned his post in the army to engage in political work in Chicago for apresidentialcandidate?Why were the voices of the Senators silent then?Was it because those men were not Democrats?Where was the voice when officials of previous administrations were speculating on the stock market and on tariffbills?” The letter which precipitated the Senator Chester L Long,May 1906: “I think I would like to have one of those advisory places on the canal commission,”it said.“They pay $7,- 500 and require a visit to the Isthmus once in three months.I could hold it and live in Kansas,being there at least half my time,and when the fight got hot,1 could resign.” 27, Mr.Phifer Sells Out in Lenoir.

TUESDAY,---duly 22,1913, SPECIAL SESSION LEGISLATURE .-AMENDMENTS TO CONSTI- :TUTION. Gov.Craig has called the Legisla- ture to meet in extra session,Septem- ber 24;to’consider railroad freight rates and amendments to the constitu- tion.It is hoped and believed that an agreement will be reached as to the freight rates before the extra session convenes.In the event such an agreement is not reached the Leg- islature will see what It can do to se- cure just freight rates for the State. The amendments to the constitution prepared by.the special commission appointed by the Gevernor and the Legislature are ready for submission to the Legislature.The work of the commission is recommendatory.The Legislature can make any change it desires or can propose other amend- ments.The most important of the proposed amendments,as The Land- mark sees it,are those changing the manner of taxation and relieving the Legislature of the work of .passing so many local measures—two very great needs.The amendment for the initiative and referendum will meet much opposition in the Legislature and if it is submitted to the people will meet much opposition at the polls. The Landmark hopes that it will be submitted.The people should be giv- en a chance to pass on it.Another amendment increases the pay of mem- bers of the GeneralAssembly from $4 to $10 per day and allows 10 cents mileage to and from Raleigh.The pay of members should be increased but there may be objection to jump- ing from $4 to $10,and The Land- mark cannot understand why 10 cents per mile should be allowed for mileage when the maximum charged by the railroads is 2 1-2 cents.The amend- ments providing for emergency judges and to avoid the necessity of judges rotating all over the State to hold courts,are good,but the provision for intermediate appellate courts may not be so readily accepted.The pro- vision for a six months’school term is,to put in the organic law what has been provided by statute. The Landmark regrets the failure to give the Governor the veto power. He ought to have it.North Carolina is the only State in the Union in which the Governor has no veto power, Many of the States have given their chief executives this power in recent years,finding it wisdom to do so. The Landmark hopes the Legislature will propose this amendment. Another amendment that failed was to change the provision requiring that fines and forfeitures in police courts in cities and towns be placed in thepublicschoolfund.It is held that inasmuch as the citios and towns tax themselves to provide policemen and municipal.courtsthe proceeds thereof should go to the local school fund; or at last that it is not fair to require that all the proceeds be placed in the county school fund..The Land- mark thinks there should be a more nitable division,but ft hardly probable that any change will _be mader _:‘ The Landmark will’from™time to time publish the proposed amend- ments for the information of its read- ers. is It has been suggested that District| Attotney Holton will be asked to re- sign,and he probably will be,but the latest report is that he will be allow- ed to hold on to.prosecute the Carter| bank case in Asheville,which will| come up for trial in a short time.If Holton is as long finishing this bank case as he was the Breese case,he will be on the job 15 or 20 years. The contest for the district attorney- ship is becoming somewhat acute. For weeks the Washington corres- pondents have had the case practi- cally’settled in favor of Mr.W.C. Hammer,but Mr.Chas.A.Webb and his friends are now busy.Mr.Webb is State chairman and has the organ- ization behind him.Considering this, it is The Landmark’s private opinion, publicly expressed,that he owill get the district attorneyship and that Mr. Hammer will be offered “equally as good.” ‘tcheeepentennepeenesatiemats The International Bible Students’ Association is holding its sessions in Asheville.This is the organization which promulgates the comforting doctrine (comforting if you can he- lieve it)that there is no hell.©.1, something ter at rest by announcing his pur- pose to enter the race,His an- 50}nouncement is printedin The Land- mark today.Ex-Gov.Glenn some weeks ago stated that he would make definite announcement in September as to his purpose with reference to the senatorial race.It is believed that the ex-Governor will be a candi- date,in whicH event there will be a lively race in the State next summer.

The tariff bill was reported to the Senate Friday on behalf of the Dem- ocrats.of the finance committee.Sen- ator Simmons was unable to be pres- ent and make the opening address on account:of the death of a grandchildandthereportwaspresentedbySen- ator Stone.The bill makes an aver- age reduction of 27.64 per cent under the rates of the existing Payne-Al- drich tariff law.The report also showsthattheSenatebillratesare4.22 percentlowerthantheUnderwoodbill as it passed the House,and that from it,together with other governmentreceiptsforthefiscalyearending June 30,1914,there will be an esti- mated surplus in the government Treasury of $2,020,000. A salient feature of this bill,it is pointed out,is the large increase of imports to ‘Ke admitted free of duty. Under the House bill the value of free listed imports,on the basis of 1912, was $103,000,000,whereas the Demo- crats of the Senate propose to free list imports valued at $147,367,000, an increase in undutiable imports over the House bill of $43,367,000. Upagn the basis of ten months for the coming fiscal year,the report es- timates that the total customs receipts under the new bill will be $266,730,- 000,from income tax for ten months $85,330,000,corporation tax $37,000,- 000,internal revenue including tax of $5,000,000 on cotton futures,$297,- 000,000;and that the revenue from all other sources will bring the total for the fiscal year to $996,810,100.With disbursements,estimated for the com- mittee by Treasury exports at $994,- 790,000,a balance is shown in favor of the government of $2,020,000, In analyzing its changes in the House administrative feature of the bill,the committee “deemed the amendments of the House entirely too drastic,”particularly those authoriz- ing examination of books of ‘foreignmanufacturers,a five per cent tariff discount on imports in American ships and other like features which were stricken out. Republican Senators in conference reaffirmed Senator Gallinger of NewHampshjreastheirleadertoas- sume charge of the tariff debate and agreed to support requests of Repub- licans for record votes when desired as amendments. Simmons and Cummins Speak on the Tariff Bill. Debate on the tariff in the Senate began in earnest Saturday with Chairman Simmons of the finance committee proclaiming the new bill a Sativfactory answer to the demands for downward revision and Senator Cummins,speaking from a progres- sive Republican standpoint,predict- ing that it would carry the Democrat- ic party to defeat. cenatar-Simmeone replief t>con- tentions ‘hat the bill discriminated against the farmer ‘Senatcr Canmins asserted that the Democratic party had treated the farmer as an outlaw and vigorously assailed PresidentWilsonforhisparticipationinfram- ing the bill.This he characterized as abuse of power that has been “co- orcive.” |RRRETERS Bryan's Attitude Involves a Moral ;Question. Washington Dispatch. “Aside from the technical and legal question of the right of a public serv- ant to sell his services twice,the pub- lic announcement by Mr.Bryan that a man of his well-advertised demo- cratic tastes cannot live on an income of 312,000 a year presents a moral question for the consideration of theAmericanpeople,”declared SenatorTownsend,Republican,of Michigan, in a speech in the Senate. “The question is simply this: Whether,under the circumstances it is the duty of the ertizen and the public servant to modify his style of living to bring it within his legiti- mate income,or whether it is his privilege to re-sell his services in or- der to cover the cost of the style of living he has adopted.” Senator Townsend’s speech was an attack upon the Secretary of State, for his proposal of making paid lee- tures during his tenure of office,to increase his income.He declared other cabinet officers were living on $12,000 salaries:that subordinates in the government departments would not be allowed to do other work while holding their positions;and ‘that be- cause of his previous attitude beforethepeople,Mr.,Bryan should have felt an obligation to live within morerigidlines.

Republican Senators Will Net DelayTariff.Bill. Republican Senators have served notice upon their Democratic oppon- ents that there is to be no unnecessary delay of the Underwood-Simmonstariffrevisionbill.While the sharp tongue of Republican criticism and dire prediction is to be loosed through-out the tariff debate the Republicans do not plan to add any general filibus-tering tactics or to attempt to hold up final action on tartff revision. When the time arrives it is un- derstood to be the purpose of the Re-publicans to make their final fight for amendment of the bill,hoping they can break up the Democraticranks,particularly on the sugar and wool schedules.If their efforts fail, however,it is not expected that the Republicans will interpose any final opposition to a vote on the bill. Bulgaria Earnestly Seeking Peace- The advent of a new Bulgarian cab- inet,comprising a coalition of the Libera]groups,seems to have brought a prospect that.peace negotiations soon will be entered into.After vain attempts to negotiate separately with Rumania,the’Bulgarians accepted the advice of Russia and Austria and offered to Rumania an important ter- ritorial concession.Bulgaria aiso sent delegates to meet tha.Servian and Greek and presumably Rumanian representatives at Nish to negotiate an amistice and peace.

Railroads Have to Be Driven to Con- cede Anything. Greensboro News. The State will be fortunate if a spe- cial session of the Legislature is ren- dered unnecessary in dealing with the question of freight rates.Even those most active in urging a special ses- sion,have doubtless hoped from thebeginningthattherailroadcompa- nies,ere this drastic step was taken, would make the concessions demand- ed by considerations of jusitce and fairness. Well wishers of the rajlroads will always look upon it as a cause of re- gret that the carriers failed to do what was right of their own motion, because it was right,instead of wait- ing until the “threats”of an extra session became something more than threats.If the expected concessions are made at Old Point Comfort the people of this State will of course appreciate the action in a commercial way,but it is not pleasant to reflect that our shippers have had to “fight” for their rights,and that these rights were only vouchsafed grudgingly,in the fear of ‘reprisals.The course of the companies has wot been seemly; their shifting,and at times wholly unresponsive attitude,has not been such as to promote that degree of good feeling which ought to obtain between the people and the cdmpa-nies.

Your neighbors kuow the way— Have used Doan’s Kidney Pills; Have proved their worth in many tests. Here’s Statesville testimony. W.E.Turner,Davie Ave.,States~- ville,N.Car.,says!“My experience with Doan’s Kidney Pills has been so satisfactory that I strongly recom- mend them for backache and other kidney ailments.My kidneys were out of order and I had backache and pains through my loins,Doan’s Kid- ney Pills helped me at once,strength- ening my kidneys and back.” Mr.Turner is only-one of the many Statesville people who have gratefully endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills.If your back aches—if your kidneys bother you,don’t simply ask for a.kidney remedy—ask distinetly for Doan’s Kidney Pills,the same that Mr.Tur- ner had—the remedy backed by home testimony.650c at all stores.Foster- Milburn Co.,Props.,Buffalo,N.Y. “When Your Back is Lame—Remem- ber the Name.”=oleae S.J.Holland.

Sailors and Marines Riot in Seattle and Attack Socialists—The Latter Say Speech of Secretary Daniels is Responsible—Charge Denied. Seattle,Wash.,Dispatch,19th. While the officers of the Pacific fleet reserve of the United States na- vy were dancing at the army and na- vy ball in the State armory late last night and early today,several hun- dred of their sailors and marines were marching through the streets of the city denouncing the Industrial Work- ers of the World and the red flag, sacking and burning socialist and in- dustrial workers’headquarters,and in their excitement demolished a Sal- vation Army meeting room,before learning that they had mistaken the place.The city headquarters of the moderate socialists and the radical socialists were sacked and the books and furniture carried into the street and burned.A socialist news stand on the principal street corner of the city was destroyed and the big meet- ing room of the Industrial Workers of the World in the southern part of the city was stripped of its belong- ings,which were thrown rrom a sec- ond story window and burned in the street.The lice offered no resist- ance to the rioters.Some of the of- ficers said that all the force was busy and no.reserves were available to cope with the rioters.The hatbands of the cruisers Charleston,Colorado and California were most numerous among the sailors.A few uniformed members of the Washington naval militia joined with the naval men,al- though citizens made up most of themob., The actual destruction of property was carried on by uniformed men,in- cluding a number of petty officers. The damage is estimated at $6,000.A report was widely circulated to- day that Secretary of the Navy Jo-seplius Daniels,in a speech at theRanierclub,had taken the IndustrialWorkersoftheWorldashissubjectandhaddeclaredtnattheyandallotherbelieversinthereaflagshouldbedrivenoutofthecountry.ThosewhoheardtheaddressoftheSecre- -«==July tary say that it was exceedingly mod-| erate and had no reference to any lo-cal trouble;nor dia he at any timementiontheIndustrialWorkers.The rioting began before dark.Atfirstonlyadozensailorswereen-gaged,but later the number increas-ed to probably 300..The crowd con-tinued marching through the streets ‘ings and he finally decided to leave.

In 1898,I think it was,he and a few other far-sighted men started a movement for a bond issue in Gray- son county (Va.)for road-building. I remember that our debating socie- ty took the matter up and as a boy I ‘debated the bond issue question.Our best debaters were picked and sent out to meet rival teams in other school houses in our township to de- bate the question and one of this man’s sons was our best speaker.The fight was a hard one but the bond is- sue failed to carry and Grayson coun- ty dropped back into the rut and has been there all these years.This man, not discouraged,kept up the fight for| several years,but he gave in at last.

A negro supposed to be Alonzo Stevenson of Statesville,commonlyknownabouttownas“Tub”Steven-son,ig in jail in Washington City awaiting trial for inurder..Steven- son has been sojourning in Washing-ton for several months and accordingtoclippingsfromWashingtonpa- pers sent to Mitch.Cowan,a colored citizen of Statesville,by relatives of his living in Washington,one Alonzo Stevenson killed a white man named John H.Hammond in a Washington hotel saloon several days ago. According to the newspaper stories, Stevenson was an assistant cook nd waiter in the hotel restaurant and en- gaged in a quarrel with Hammond and two other white men when he went into the hotel saloon to order drinks for persons in the restaurant whom he was serving.The white men,who were drinking,are said to have start- ed the quarrel by “picking”at the negro.Rettrning'to the restaurant kitchen Stevenson told the colored chef about the quarrel and the two negroes met the white men as they ieft the saloon and renewed the quar- rel.The.proprietor of the hotel tried to stop the row,but being unable to do so ran out to call an officer.In his absence Stevenson is alleged to have stabbed Hammond in the head and hack.As his victim fell to the floor Stevenson jumped out a window into an alley and making his way to the street boarded a streer car.On the car was a detective who noticed that Stevenson had bloca on his clothes and appeared frightened.He asked the negro who had cut him and after answering that he had not been cut Stevenson attempted to leave the car, but was restrained by the detective, who took him to the police station. Just as the officer reached the sta- tion with Stevenson a message noti- fying the police of tne stabbing was received. The papers state further that Ste- venson admitted to the detective that he had stabbed a man,but learning that Hammond had died while en route to a hospital,he changed his story of the fight.At the coroner's inquest Stevenson was identified as the negro who did the stabbing and was held for trial. Local officrs and colored people have no doubt that che murderer is the Statesville negro bearing that name,and it might be added that hisfocalcourtrecordwouldnothel)him in his trial for murder.He has been tried in the local courts for various offences and convicted in a number of cases Isidore Allison,Colored,Will Have to Answer Charges. Cases are being piled up against Isidore Allison,the negro who was jailed Monday evening for putting a bullet through the neck of Sylvester Davidson,another negro,as told in Tuesday’s Landmark.It develops that Allison,Davidson and other ne- groes spent all of Sunday night gamb- ling at the home of Allison and the shooting,which occurred early Mon- day morning,was the result of a quarrel over a gambling debt.David- son is said to ‘have owed Allison “eight half dollars”which Allison had won in games of “skin”during the’night. If Davidson is able to attend trial Monday Allison will be given heagings on charges of assault with deadly weapon,carrying concealed weapon,»gambling and operatiny «ae ~*~ling house..At the same time David: son,Ernest Allison,Hub McLélland, Buck Brown and Lee Eecles,the.oth. er members of the Surtay night par- ty,will be tried for gambling.Ernest* Allison is now in jail and the other negroes have given bond for their ap- pearance at the.hearing. Mr.Hose Bowman Killed In Texas— Remains Expected Here Today. Mr.J.L.Bowman of Cool Spring township received a telegram Tuesday night announcing that his son,Mr. Hose Bowman,had been accidentally killed at Clarendon,Texas.The tele- gram,which is the only information of the death of the young man so far received,reads as follows:“Brother accidentally killed on building this evening.Will leave for home with re- mains tomorrow.”The message was signed by Mr.L.E.Bowman,who was with his brother at Clarendon. It is assumed that the young man was at work on the building when killed.He and his brother have been located at Clarendon for some months. A sister,who was there with them for a time,returned home,a shorttimeago. Hose talked about coming home with his sister,but just before she start- ed he decided to remain in Clarendon until,August,when he expected to return home.The remains of youngBowmanareexpectedtoreachStates-ville tonight or tomorrow.

MEETING OF CIVIC LEAGUE. League Is Entertained With Address By Mrs.Calvin—-Business Matters Taken Up. Reported for The Landmark. The Civic League held its regular meeting on Tuesday afternoon.There was a fair attendance,notwithstand- ing unfavorable weather.After abriefbusinesssession,the president, Mrs.Orr;introduced to the League Mrs.Henrietta W.Calvin,professor of domestic science in the University of Wisconsin,who made a short ad- dress,full of new thoughts forcibly expressed. Her theme was the work of women of the present day along‘civic lines. In the time of Solomon the perfect woman looked well to the ways of her household,and ate not the bread of idleness.She span wool and flax and worked diligently with her hands. Modern conditions have relieved wo- men of many of these homely duties, and she now has time to look around her,and feel an interest in other homes.Her household has come to ‘mean the whole community.All the things that affect its welfare,such as schools,play-grounds,public buildings and plans of amusement come under her care.It is the old responsibility in a new form, The benefits of sanitary surround- ings which she desires for her own children she seeks to give al!other children.In off grandmother’s day when large families were the ru'e,out of a family of eleven children fve might be expected to die in early youth.The modern woman would not be content to lose fifty per cent of her childreh without inquiring wheth- er this is not preventable,and would be inclined to place the blame for their loss rather on her own carelessness or lack of knowledge than on Provi- dence.To the older women belongs the duty of not.misleading the young- er,or insistine that they should fol- low intheir footsteps.We may love and revere our mothers and grand- mothers without ‘wishing to imitate them. No matter how tightly the purse strings may be drawn women control ninety-five per cent of the familyspending.The woman who buys carelessly ‘and fails to demand the best in every line,is thereby encour- aging the production of inferior or worthless merchandise.She should lend her influence and patronage onlytothoseenterpriseswhoseemployesaretreatedfairly.Woman has a re- sponsibility ‘even in the matter of dressing herself,.lest her extrava- gance should lead others to spend be- yond their means.The lecturer re- frained from touching upon the pres- ent manner of dressing,though she must have felt that in this there is a wide field for the reforms: The League decided at this meeting to bring to the attention of the prop- er authorities certain matters affect- ing cleanliness and sanitation.The project of providing a-rest room for the country woman,which is one of the pet schemes of the League,is not making much progress because of the difficulty of securing »suitable place. The expense of maintaining such a room hgs also given the ladies pause. Boger Mott Dies in Atlanta—Remains Brought Here.

Washington Special to Greensboro News. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Osborn today issued an order to have nine,seven and eight pound sheet stamps for plug tobacco printed for the convenience of tobacco manufac- turers throughout the country. In addition to the accommodation to the manufacturers,today’s order means a saving of the government's money to the amount of nearly $10,- 000 a year. Tobacco manufacturers at Winston- Salem and Durham,as well ‘as other| cities throughout the country,have long contended that the seven,eight and nine pound shéet stamps should be printed by the government. Heretofore a stamp o fa similar de- nomination was used making it neces- sary for the manufacturer to place several stamps on each package in-stead of one,as will be the case under| the new order. Revenue officials here say that Col- onel Osborn’s order will meet with hearty approval throughout by all manufacturers of tobacco as well as by the employes of the collector’s of- fice.a Extension of the Parcel Post System.

FRIDAY,bey July 25,1913. JUDGE BENNETT.‘ “At that hour of the night when men are least courageous,he stum- bled upon death.” So wrote Judge Risden Tyler Ben- nett of Anson county,some years ago, of a dead friend who had passed away about 2 o’clock in the morning.Judge Bennett’s passing was at a “more propitious hour.The spirit fled in the bright freshness of the early morning,when the sun was just he- ginning to flood the earth with glo- rious light and when the birds sing sweetest.At this most delighiful hour of the day a noble Roman fell on sleep.May he rest well.| Judge Bennett was an unique character.He was an able lawyer,in many respects a brilliant man,but he had marked peculiarities.In speak- ing or writing his phrasing was unique.He had read muck of an- cient lore and“often used words and phrases that were Greek to the av- erage reader.In his last years,de- voted to his books,he wrote often for the county papers,most frequently notices of the death of friends in his home county.His quaint expressions in these obituaries attracted general attention.Again he wrote about farm- ing,about birds and things of nature. Always he was interesting. In 1882 the Democratic party of the State confronted a serious defection. In 1881 the Legislature submitted the question of State prohibition’to the voters.It was defeated by 112.009 votes.Dr.J.J.Mott,then the lead- er of the Republican party,saw an opportunity to make capital.Many Democrats who violently opposed prohibition were mad because the question was submitted refused to be mollified when it was defeated.They were made to believe that it was the purpose of the Demo- crats to put the State under prohibi- tion.Under Dr.Mott’s influence the Liberal party was organized.It was composed of Democrats who were dis- gruntled on account of prohibition. These forces united with the Republi- cans.The census of 1880 had given the State another member of Con- gress.The State had not been redis- tricted and it was unnecessary to elect this extra member at large— by vote of the whole State.Many as- piring politicians,who would under ordinary circumstances have fought for the Democratic nomination that year,ran away from it because they knew the party faced probable defeat. At last the nomination was offered Judge Bennett.He was safe on the Superior Court bench for a long term,but he answered the call.He resigned from the bench and entered the campaign;made one of the most notable campaigns in the State’s his- tory and won by a close margin.Not- withstanding the saé¢rifice he made for his pafty and.the State,two years tater Judge Bennett had té fight for the nomination in his district,to whieh he was entitled by party usage. He went back to Congress for anoth- er term,but at the end of that he was, according to the custem long preyail- ang io the “bah “srxuh’district,stood aside without ceremony.Such is in- gratitude in politics.ie Col.Wade Harris of the Charlotte Observer,who has more than once ex- pressed the opinion that voting against the revistration books is not a fair deal,will be delighted to know that the amendment to the State con- stitution with reference to revenue and taxation,proposed by the amend- ment commission,changes this fdat- ure.Under the present constitution it is required that bond issues or spe- cial tax levies shall be approved byamajorityofthequalifiedvoters, that is to say,a majority of the reg-istered voters.The proposed amend-ment specifically states,“shall be ap-proved by a majority of those whoshallvotethereon.”-That is to say,by a majority of the votes cast,Intheeventthisamendment.is adopt-ed a voter must actually vote to ex-press himself, and He can’t register andvoteagainstapropositionbystaying People who insist that State anti-trust laws ate not effective agninst the big trusts should study the resultsofthebattlesofTexaswiththeoiltrusts.When there’s a will there's away.Officials of other States could with profit take lessons from Texas.energie A dispatch from Newton says the Southern Power Company has engin-eers at work on their property at Lookout Shoals on Catawba river.No definite announcement has been made regarding the time when the plant at this place will be built,although it has been planned to build an immense power plant at these shoals. |Som gratula@of the newspapers are con-ting Gov.Craig’that he has called a special session of the Legis- lature to deal with the freight rate *imatter and the constitutional amend- “Iments at the same time,The Land- mark had not expected him to do otherwise and it is surprised to leari that such an opinion’was.entertain- ed.While there-has been urgent de- mand on the Governor to eall a spe- cial session to deal with the freight rates.we had supposed that it ‘was session would deal with the freight rates and the constitutional amend- ments.Goodness’knows we =didn’t want two special sessions within a year, Strong Support of President’s Policy Towards Nicaragua, Washington Dispatch,21st. Strong support has developed in the Senate for President Wilson’s new policy of protection and supervision over Nicaragua.An infornial poll of the committee on foreign relationstodayindicatedthatthetreatypro- posed Saturday by Secretary Bryan will receive indorsement with a safemarginofvotesandcomeintothe Senate with the backing of influential members of both political parties. It became known definitely today that the proposal does net hind the United States to any obligation for the outstanding debts of Nicaragua. The rehabilitation from the republie’s finances is expected to come about through the stability that would be given to future operations through the control to be exercised by the United States. Nicaragua would agree to make no debts in excess of her current re- sources,however,and the United States would be given the right to intervene with troops at any time to insure Nicaraguan independence or to protect life and property.Nicara- gua would agree to make no foreign treaties that would threaten her inde- pendence.The United States would pay Nicaragua $3,000,000 for an ex- clusive right to build a canal route and for a naval base in the bay of Fonseca. In the administration view the scope of the plan was not intended to be laid down as a general pélicy for all Central America,but the affairs of the little republics are to be dealt with separately as they may require attention. The attitude of the administration, it was said,is one of extreme friend- liness,and there is no disposition to force upon them any such plan unléss it is thoroughly acceptable.

The United States Treasury handled in actual cash during the fiscal year ended June 30 the stupendous sum of $7,071,520,000,breaking all previous records and stamping the Federal Treasury,officials declared,as the greatest banking institution in theworld.

The inter-State Commerce Commis-sion is about to take up one of thelargestquestionsyettocomebeforethatbody-—-whether 350 railroads op-erating east of the Mississippi river,north of the Ohio and Potomac riversshallbepermittedtoincreasetheirfreightrates.This question is of di- rect importance to North Carolina,where Governor Craig has just issuedacallforanextraordinarysessionoftheLegislaturetoadjustfreightratesintheStateandincidentallyitaffectseveryrailroadintheUnitedStatesthatoperatesacrossaStateline.If the commission authorizestheeasternrailroads,which ask au-thority.to increase all rates 6 per cent.,representing in the aggregate$42,000,000,the same authority willbesoughtbyrailroadsoperatinginothersectionsofthecountry,This is a fact conceded by all parties in in-terest. So the proposal of the eastern rail-roads affects all railroads and all ship-pers.The pending inquiry will be con- cluded late this year,and a decision’ will be announced early in the newyear.According to railroad managers,the outcome will determine whethertherailroadsaretobeprofitableorunprofitableintheimmediatefuture. Two years ago the commission re- fused to permit the Eastern.railroads to increase class rates 6 per cent,onthegroundthattheevicencepresent-ed did not ,warrant the increase sought.In the present case the rail- roads want authority to increase all rates,not alone ¢lasy rates.In asking authority to increaseratestherailroadssaytheyarepre-pared to show that the cost of con-ducting the business of the carriershasbeen,and is being,steadily raisedbyincreasesincapitalcharges,in-creases in wages,increases in taxes,increased burdens imposed by legis-lative enactments,such ag extra crew laws,employers’liability and compen- sation acts,elimination of .gradecrossings,thé installation of variousappliances,and in various other re-spects.In further justification of the increases asked,the railroads say that they should expend large sumsofmoneyforimprovements;thattheseimprovementsaredemandedby existing and future transportation conditions,“and must be made if your petitioners are to satisfy the needs of the public for improved and addition- al facilities.” The Rights of Officers to Carry Weapons—When Are They on Duty? Recently the police court judge at Wilmington decided that an officer has no right to carry a concealed weapon when off duty.To test the matter the sheriff of New Hanover county had warrants issued for him- self,a deputy and a constable for carrying concealed weapons,the pur- pose being to have the courts say when an officer is off duty and when he is not. It seems to The Landmark that the police court judge’s decision is good law and that duty when he is outside of his ju-risdiction and not on regular bust- ness.That is to say,when a sheriff goes out of his own county on a pleasure trip or on business other than is connected with his office,he is not on duty and has no business with a pistol.Same would apply to police officers of towns.Unless they are on business connected with regu- lar line of duty,they are private cit- iens when they go away from home, should act as private citizens and be treated as private citizens.So long as a policeman is in his jurisdiction or a sheriff in his county he is continu- ously on duty. The Landmark isnt trying té fore- stall the courts,but this seems the common sense of it. Jule Campbell Was a Ball Pitcher inHisDay.North Wilkesboro Hustler.

Petition of Insurance Company De- nied By Judge Boyd. Greensboro Dispatch,22d. District Judge James E.Boyd of the Federal Court today ‘signed an order denying the petition of the Ocean,Indemnity &Guaranty Co.of London,England,that an award of $45,020 in insuran¢e made by arbitra- tors to the Hunter Manufacturing & Commission Co.be set aside.Thedefendantcompanyhasitsprincipal offices in New York now,but ‘they were until recently located here. The insurance policies were for $50,000 and guaranteed the Hunter Company from less on credits.The bankruptey of the Randleman Mills occasioned a big loss to the companyanditwaspartlycoveredbythe policies of the English insurance com- pany.The matter was left to a board of arbitrators,composed of Clement Manly of Winston-Salem,ex-Judge J.

Scott of Reidsville.: In the petition of the insurance company in the Federal Court the allegation was made that the $45,000 award was made after gross mistakes of the arbitrators. Boll Weevil Barrier Would Cause a Big Loss. Federal experts estimate that a loss of almost $108,000,000 a year to cot- ton growers in Alabama,Georgia, Tennessee and Florida would result from the adoption of the plan propos- ed recently by Senator Smith of South Carolina,which contemplated the establishment of a belt in which the growth of cotton should be pro- hibited by law in an effort to keep the cotton boll weevil from spreading eastward into the Atlantic coast States.This conclusion has been ched by the Department of Agri- culture,based on provision for the |ma,Georgia and Florida. |were prepared to show how this loss (of 108,000,000 |Offset,either in part or in full,py the elimination of a strip about 100 miles wide down through Tennessee,Alaba- No figures annually might be raising of other crops.

Governor Locke Craig and Con- gressman Gudger were honor guestsinalargepartyofsight-seers that made the initial trip over the new railroad of Dickey,Campbell &Com-pany to Mt.Mitchell,the,highest mountain peak in eastern America,to- day.The party included over fortymenandwomen,many of whom are prominently connected in newspaper work with some of the leading dailies. A special car was fitted up for the oc- and after a short prayer by Rev.Mr.Newell,of Asheville,giving thanks for the advent of such a greatenterprise,the train pulled away fromthelargedoublebandmilllocated on the Southern Railway,amid the cheers of the crowd,the tooting of whistles and ringing of bells.\The party was treated to one of the greatest sights in all America.The trip took them over a road that is replete with the most gorgeous scen- ery,and is one of the most wonder- ful achievements.in modern railroad engineering.The road literally climbs a flight of stairs in reaching its desti- nation,being bullt on a series .of switch-backs over many famous mountains,including Slatie and Gray Beard.It climbs almost to the very summit of the Pinnacle Moun- tain,running into Toe river gap on the other side,where the view on the west affords a panorama of the Asheville water-shed with a back-ground of theCraggiesbutashortdistance.beyond Toe river. The party ‘stopped at the lumber camps where hundreds of loggers, teamsters and other laboring men gathered around the car and raised their cheers for the Governor and the Congressman.Both made very in- teresting speeches that brought greatapplausefromthemountaineers. When Congressman Gudger promised to have a postoffice installed for them at their camp,six thousand feet above sea level,in the shadows of old Mt. Mitchell,they gave him a_rousing cheer. Duel Results Fatal to Both Parties. Monroe Journal,22d. Mr.Tom Howard, Martha Howard of township,and a nephew of Mr.EF, C.Winchester of Monroe,was kill- ed at Montbrook,Fla.,last Friday morning.In the same pistol duel he killed his opponent,~a man -named King,of that place. Mr.Howard was paying attention to the daughter of Mr.King,who objected on account of the lady’s awe.He was flagging on the Coast Line,and when his train went into Montbrook,the young lady was at the station and they began talk- ing.Mr.King came up and fired three ofson shots at Howard,who drew a pistol |‘ and fired twice at Kmg,shooting him |« down.King then raised up as How- ard was turning away,and fired twite, one of the shots going through How- ard’s head and killing him instantly. Howard leaned against a telephone post,and right away sank down,say- ing as he did so,“wire the boys.” The body was brought to Monroe on Sunday and buried at the family burial place at Union yesterday morning.Mr.V.E.Cason,a friend of Mr.Howard,accompanied the re mains here.He was an eye-witness to the shooting and brought the par ticulars as above. Mr.Howard was 25 years old, and ig survived by his mother and several brothers and sisters.He had been in Florida about two years.He formerly lived in Monroe,and was a quiet,likable young man.—— Lumberton Boy Wounds Three on Ac- count of Dog. Lumberton:Special,22d,to Charlotte Observer. While returning from town yester- day evening to their homes,three miles in the country,two boys and a girl,ranging in age from 12 to 15 years,were shot by a boy.residing in the northern part of town.rInfotmationasgatherediqthat a dog was following the buggy in which the children were riding and as they passed the home of the boy his dog came out and jumped on the dog fol- lowing the buggy.When the boy saw his dog getting whipped by the other dog he procured his gun and fired on the children. Both boys received shots in legs and hands,while the little girl was hit by only one shot which struck on her forehead,and,after breaking the skin,glanced off.A gentleman who met the children a short distance further on was attracted by their cry- ing and learning the trouble,broughtthembacktothehospitalwheretheshotswereremoved.While very pain- ful,the wounds are not serious.So far no action has been taken inthematter. Making a plea to see his pet dog before he died,11-year-old Alvin Aiken of Ashevilld,regained brief consciousness from.an attack of lock- jaw and shortly afterward passedaway. The death of the boy was tragic in the extreme.While attempting tojumptothelimbofatreeinaneigh-bor’s yard several days.ago,he miss- ed his:hold,and fell backward,his left arm being.twisted under his body.The bone was broken and pro-jected through the flesh,causing blood poisoning.For two days he lingered| between life and deathhalf conscious of the fate that awaited him.* Surprising Care of Stomach Trouble.When you have trouble with your stom-ach or chronic constipation,don’t imagine your doctor fails to*give you relief.Mrs.G.Stengle,Plainfield,N.J.,writes,“ForoveramonthpastIhavebeentroubledwithmystomach.Everything I ate upset it ter-ribly.Qne of Chamberlain’s advertisingboo!came to me,After reading a fewofthelettersfrompeoplewhohadbeencuredbyChamberlain’s Tableta,I decided totrythem.I have taken nearly three-fourthsofapackageofthemandcannoweatalmost everything that I want.”For sale by alldealers.4 yy Mrs,|** Sandy Ridge |! young| ‘MATTERS OF NEWS.

Apparently there was no_difference of opinion in the committee as towhetherthePostmasterGeneral should change the rates,DemocratsandRepublicansagreeingthatonly Congress ought to have this power.

Washington Dispatch,22d. When Senator Tillman of ‘South Carolina,who is on a diet by onder ofhis,-physician,-declared ,somewhat peeviahly that<“the atv df ‘fryingchickenwasunknowninWasfiington,” he had not reckoned with the house- wives of the District .of Columbia, many of them Southerners and jeal- ous of their ability to cook chicken| in any fashion.Asa result of the) aspersion indignant housewifes and a few score admirers of the South Car olina statesman have been inundat- ing him with chicken.They come byparcelpostandbymessengersuntil each day the Senator’s committeeroomtakesontheappearanceofa Ppienic ground. At first Senator Tillman sought toreturnthegifts,but virtually none had the name of the donor on it,al- though many contained notes,defy- ing the Senator to decry the fowls, or the cooking.As a result the com- mittee waste basket is continually filled with chicken bones and commit- tee clerks and Senate attendants,im-pressed to aid in keeping up with the in-coming supply,are nearing a state of rebellion.

A princess and two princes of thehouseofIsenburg,belonging io thehighestGermannobility,were horse.whipped recently by an angry carterwhosehorsestheirautomobilealarmed.Prince Alphons, Antoinette and Prince Victor Jsenburg were motoring to Altenburg, where they were to visit the Duke of at the news that the great Commoner cannot get along on his salary of $12,- 000 a year.Yet,a glance at the figures paid to his colleagues,the for-eign ministers of other nations, shows that his official emoluments are not such ag to excite either envy,ha- tred or malice.Thus the British For- eign Secretary is paid $25,000 a year; and.if this office happens to be com- bined with that of Prime Minister, the incumbent also occupies,free of charge,the well -known Downing street house.|Germany gives.her Foreign Secretary $9,000 a year in salary,plus $3,500 for expenses,mak- ing a total sum of $12,500,and the re- cipient also.gets his residence free. Austria -Hungary pays in salary and official expenses about $18,000, according to recent budget figures. Smaller nations like the Low Coun- tries,of course,pay lesser stipends. The Belgium Foreign Secretary’s sal- ary,for instance,is about $4,000,Still in this connection it is interesting to note that the sum whch the Belgian government deems sufficient to sup- port its minister’in Washington amounts to $13,000,which is $1,000 more than Mr.Bryan gets—yet surely Mr.Bryan is the more important per- sonage. Some will urge that all the above countries are monarchies,and that re- publican officials,regardless of the relative importance of their countries, should cost less money.Republican France,however,pays her Foreign Minister $12,000 a.year and.also maintains for him,free of charge,the splendid palace of the Quai d’Orsay. In the western hemisphere,Dr.Lauro Muller receives an official stipend about the same in amount as that of Mr.Bryan.And Chile pays less than Brazil.On the other hand,Argentina vives her Foreign Minister $12,000 a year salary and $5,000 more for “etiquette expenses.” From the foreign standpoint,there- fore,it appears that Mr.Bryan’s job is not exceptionally remunerative,es- pecially when we consider the very much lower cost of living which pre- vails in Europe.The salary is suffi- dollar |cent in itself,but we pay no atten- unless |tion to these inevitable expenses in- cident to the important position in the world which the American Secre- tary of State holds.Of course,Uncle Sam is an awful poor man just at this moment.But if the crops are good next fall and Congress,in the meantime,doesn't go and pad the per- sian.list by $10,000,000 to $50,000,000 more,we don’t see why William J. isn’t shortly due for a “raise.”-A better course still,huwever,would be to leave his salary at its present fig ure and give and keep up for him and his successors an official residence worthy of the importance of his office.

Washington Dispatch,22d. Martin M.Mulhall,professed ex- lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers,today retracted the most serious charge he has made-be- fore the Senate Investigating Com- mittee.He swore yesterday that for- mer Representative James E.Watson of Indiana had been employed by pri- vate interests in 1909,while he was still a member of the House,to work for a tariff commission bill.He testi- fied today that what he had sworn to yesterday was wrong;that Watson was not a member of the House at the time. Reports that Watson was about to ask the District of Columbia grand jury to indict Mulhall for criminal libel were heard about the investigat- ing room.Mulhall volunteered his retraction after the noon recess.He said he realized his mistake when he saw the date of a tariff convention to be held in Indianapolis in Febru- ary,1909.

STEELE HOSIERY MILL BURNED, Hosiery Mill Wrecked By Fire of Un-known Origin—Many Persons LoseEmployment. The Steele Hosiery Mill on south Mulberry street.was wrecked by fireyesterdaymorning.The mill plant, which was owned by Mr.H.O.Steele,was valued at $21,000 and Mr.Steelecarried$13,000 insurance on the prop-erty.The building is the property of J.©.Steele &Sons,and was insur- ed for $600,The hull of the build- ing is left standing,but is damagedalmostbeyondrepair.Much of the mill machinery is still in its place, but is so badly damaged that little ofitisworthrepairing.It is not yetknownwhetherthepiantwillbere- built. The origin of the fire,which was discovered between 8 and 9 o'clock,is unknown.The plant shut down Sat- urday to give the employes their an- nual week’s vacation during thisweekandtheréwasnooneinthe building yesterday morning when the fire started.Persons passing along the street in front of the building were attracted by smoke coming from around the closed windows and look- ing inside saw that the whole inter- jor was filled with smoke,while flames could be seen in the front part of the lowér story.About the same time persons about the plant of J.C. Stecle &Sons across the street saw the smoke and gave the alarm.By the time the fire department arrived the flames had made tnetr way to the second floor of the building and the entire second floor appeared to be ablaze.Three streams of water were soon playing on the fire.but the pressure was not so good and it looked for a time as though the building would burn to the ground.The fire in the lower part of the building was soon under control,but on account of the meta!roof it was hard to get at the flames which raged in the upper story and ceiling.The city ladder truck was delayed in reaching the fire by reason of the fact that the horses which are used to draw the truck were hitched to the street sweeper at the time the alarm came in.After the ladders were available the hose were takew to upper story windows and it was not long until the effect of the water could be seen. The roof,a portion of the front wallandaportionofthesecondfloorfell in before the flames were gotten un- der control.Considering the head- way the flames had made it is quite remarkable that so much of the build- ing was saved.Some of the firemen showed considerable nerve in their efforts to put the water where they thought it would do most good.When the fact that about 60 per- sons were employed in the hosiery mill is considered,tue destruction of the plant takes on a more serious aspect.About 50 of the employes are girls and women,all of whom are thrown out of employment.The weekly payroll of the mill amounted to between $200 and $300. While the origin of the fire is un- known,it is possible that it was started by spontaneous combustion. THE FREIGHT RATES AGAIN. Some Concessions Made But Com- plete Agreement,Not Reached. After a conference of four days with the railroad traffic managers at Old Point Comfort,the ‘members of the “corporation commission,gave out the following: ~«“At the last conference in the of, fice of the Gewernorthé commission in-ststed that the proportion of through rates represented by the rate from the Virginia .cities should be reduced 25 per cent and presented a basis for working out the new rates that would approach that average. “At the conference this week this basis was finally accepted by the car- riers with some modifications,result-ing in a seale of proposed rates to the Winston and New Berne zones 20percentlessthanpresentratesasa general average of the class rates and with the larger per centage of reduc- tions of the classes in which the heav- iest traffic is handled,so that it is ex- pected that the reductions as applied to actual traffic moving will closely approach 25 per cent “The most important commodities in volume handled from the West are grain and grain products and under the scale now agreed to by the car- riers the classes under which they are handled would be reduced 28 per cent. “The same reduction in cents per 100 pounds would apply to other zonesexceptrightnearthenorthernandsouthernStatelinesandwestofStatesville,rates to these points be- ing worked on a somewhat different basis.The railroads did not concedethepositionofthecommissionthat Statesville rates should be the max- imum for all points west of States-ville. “The results in.detail will not beannounceduntiltheyarepresentedin formal report to the Governor and as there are a number of important mat- ters connected with it yet to be work-ed out it will be some days before itcanberoundedoutasawholeforthe final report.”:" —While Mr.N.W.Fox was com-ing up east Broad street in an automo-bile yesterday morning,a bolt cameoutofthesteeringrodofthemachine,the front wheels turned suddenlyandonewheelwassmashed.The machinedidnot.turn over and Mr.Fox wasnotthrownout.It was a small sec-ond hand machine Mr.’Fox had trad-ed for in Charlotte and tne accidentwasduetoapinhavingbeenleftoutofabolt,which deficiency Mr.had not discovered.* VERY MUCH OF A_THIEF. Colored Citizen Charged With ManyThefts—Small Boy Borrows Pony—Chickens Tied in the Woods—Gambling Cases. Clarence Knox,a negro,who seems to be a professional thief,was com-mitted to jail Saturday by Justice Lazenby in default of $200 bond for his appearance at Superior Court thisweek.Knox plead guilty to taking a suit.case belonging to ConductorYoung,from the “shanty”of a freight train while the*train stood on the Elmwood yards.The suit case was stolen some days ago and it was thought at the time that it was taken while the train was on the States- ville yards.Deputy~Sheriff Gilbert and other officers went to work on the case and evidence was developed against Knox,who had been seen loaf- ing about Elmwood.Knox is a roving character and was hard to lo-cate.Friday he was seen at Elth- wood and a friend of the officers*phoned Mr.Gilbert to that effect.Mr. Gilbert boarded the next east-bound freight train and reached Elmwood about 20 minutes after the negro had left there.There having been a show- er in that section,Mr.Gilbert found it easy to track the negro and traced him for about three miles.The trail led up to the home of Morehead West, colored,in Chambersburg township, and as the officer came in sight of the house he saw a negro,who proved to be Knox,make a dash from the house for the woods.The officer gave chase and fired his pistol,but the negro did not halt and was soon out of sight. Returning to the house from which the negro had run,Mr.Gilbert found Mr.Young’s suit case and most of the articles which were in it at the time it was taken.A goav,razor strap and other articles belonging to railroad men,which had been missed prior to the stealing of the sust case,were also found,showing that Knox had made it a habit to enter freight train “shanties.” Friday night while sitting in the tent of the “Florida Blossoms,”a'ne- gro minstrel show which filled an en- gagement here,Deputy Sheriff Gil- bert saw a negro enter the tent whom he felt sure was the same negro he had chased Friday morning.The of- ficer learned that the name of the suspect was Knox and the arrest wasimmediatelymade.Knox at first de- nied his guilt,but later “fessed up” and laughingly asked the officer how many shots he “wasted”at him that morning.The negro thought it was a Rowan officer who was after him and felt safe in coming to Statesville to see the show. It is learned that there are in the neighborhood of a dozen cases of lar- ceny against Knox in Rowan county. Postmaster Barber of Barber Junc- tion came to Statesville Saturday af- ternoon to see Knox and the negro ad- mitted that he had entered Mr.Bar- ber’s store and taken a fine Colt’s pistol.He told Mr.Barber to whom he had sold the pistol,so that it might be recovered. Gwyn Allen,12-year-old son of Mr. John Allen,is in jail in default of bond to answer a charge of tempora- ry larceny.Saturday morning young Allen and ‘Master Louis Bowles, young son of Mr.and Mrs.J.F., Bowles;went to Fourth creek to go in bathing.Louis rode his pony out to the creek and while he and Gwyn were in the creek Gwyn sud- denly left the water,put on his clothes and mounting the pony rode way at full speed..Louis.called to Garp to vome back,but to no avail. Returning’to tow afoot Louis report- ed his troubles to his father and Mr. Bowles in turn reported to.Deputy Sheriff Ward.Mr.Ward got-on the trail of the pony and found it in the possession of Allen a few miles out the Turnersburg road.The boy had ridden the pony over several roads and arrived at Summers’store in Bethany township about noon.He fed the pony there and had started back toward Statesville with It wnen Mr. Ward found him.He says he doesn’tknowwhyhetookthepony. Friday morning Mr.J.B.Armfield found a number of young chickens tied in the woods in rear of his home on Davie avenue.Thinking it rather strange for chickens to be tied in the woods in such manner and suspecting that they were stolen property,Mr. Armfield decided to watch them.Dave Brown,a young negro,soon arrived on the scene and took charge of the chickens..He told Mr.Armfield thattheyweresomehehadslippedaway from home to sell.The matter was reported to Deputy Sheriff Ward,who went to the home of the boy’s mother east of town to investigate.The wo-man at first said that she had -flochickensbesidesthosethenaboutthe house,but later,after Brown had beenarrested,she claimed she had let Davehavethreeorfourhens.Dave claims that he traded the hens for the young chickens,which were found in the woods,but he can’t explain why heplacedtheminthewoods.The case is still pending,Brown having given bond for his appearance before Jus-tice Lazenby.It will be recalled that a bicyctestolenfromMasterGordonWallaceafewweeksagowasfoundhidinthewoodsnotfarfromwhereMr.Arm-field found the chickens.In Justice Lazenby’s court yester-day Isidore Allison,Ernest Allison,Buck Brown,Lee’Eccles and Hub Mc-Lelland,all negroes,plead guilty togamblingandgavebondfortheirap-pearance in Superior Court.IsidoreAllisonalso.plead.fu ty to running Fox ©Bante Bedne,is the manshotaweavidson:i THE CENTRAL HIGHWAY PARTY, Passed Through Statesville Yesterday—Delighted With Iredell Roads—Big Automobile Escort FromMooresville.

No policy was evolved,at least none was announced,but it became known that the President’s ideas and those of Ambassador Wilson's as to the course to be pursued are sq rad-ically different that administration officials interpreted the day’s devel- opments as forecasting the accep- tance of Ambassador Wilson’s resig- nation.

Government Charges Absorption Of Independent Companies to Destroy Competition—Dissolution Asked. Portland,Ore.,Dispatch,24th., Dissolution of the alleged telephone monopoly on the Pacific Coast by the ‘American Telephone &Telegraph Co. _-the so-called “Bell Telephone Trust” —-is sought by Attorney General Me- Reynolds in a civil anti-trust suit filed here today.The government charges the giant:corporation and its’subsidi- aries with absorbing independent tel- ephone companies to destroy compe- tition and create a monopoly in |Ore- gon,Washington,Montana and Idaho in violation of the Sherman law.This is the first attempt ever made to apply the Federal anti-trust statute to the telephone situation.Telephone com- ies have claimed that the tele- phone,like the railroad,is a natural monopoly and that a single system is conducive to the best interests of the public.The Department of Justice contends that it is a question of pub- lic policy for Congress.to determine. It is declared that the suit filed to- day will not interfere with the sweep- ing investigation proposed by the Inter-State Commerce Commission in- to the general telephone situation to determine whether the Sherman law should be invoked generally with the purpose of enforcing competition or whether monopoly should be per- mitted or encouraged under regula- tion similar to that of railroads.This step was taken in the West because the Attornye General believed there ’existed a peculiar situation demand- ing immediate attention to cure evils said to have been brought about by unfair practices and illegal combina- tions. The Attorney General asks the court to compe!the Bell companies to relinquish control of the Inde- pendent Telephone Company of Seat- tle;the Home Telephone Company of Puget Sound;the Northwestern Long Distance Telephone Company, the Inter-State Consolidated Tele- hone Company and the Independent ng Distance Telephone Company. if necessary to accomplish the disso- lution the court is asked to appoint a receiver for the properties. Attorney General McReynold’s well- known views that the pro rata dis- tribution of the stocks of the Stand- ard Oil and Tobacco trusts did .not bring about a real dissolution of these combinations are strongly reflected intoday’s suit in which he specifically requests the court to require the al-leged telephone trust to dispose of the stocks,bonds and physical prop-erties of the independents “to per-sons not connected with the Bell companies as stockholders or other- wise.”He asks for the restoration as far as practicable of competitive conditions existing prior to the con- solidations and that the Bell com- panies,their officers and agents,be enjoined from acquiring interest in or control of the companies relin- quished. Aside from the American Tele- hone &Telegraph Co.,with a cap- tal of $395,209,925 par value and assets of $924,260,818,16 corpora- tions and 25 individuals headed by Theodore N.Vail,are named as de- fendants. An immediate injunction or re- straining order is asked by the gov- ernment to prevent any further eveps in pending foreclosure suits to trans- fer the physical properties of the Northwestern Long Distance Tele- phone Company to the Bell compa- nies. Bell companies by reducing rates below a paying basis,by giving free service and by threats,it is allered,have forced several independent com- panies forming links in the long distance system of the Northwestern Company to violate their contracts for connections with the Northwest- ern Company and to give their busi- ness exclusively to the Bell concerng. In encouraging independents to yio- late their.contracts with the North- western,it is charged that Bell companies.in some instthres ‘arreed to pay attorneys’fees and other ex,penses incurred through possible lit- igation, --= After Man Who Stabbed Nine Men.

The case in question is from Char-lotte,that city having brought a civil action against a citizen for exceedingthe‘speed limit with his automobile. The suit was for the penalty,whichwas.recovered and turned into.the State Treasury.Then the Mecklen- burg authorities demanded that this be turned into the county.school fund and the State Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction was appealed to,he in turn calling on Attorney General Bickett for a ruling. In addition to the constitutional requirement that fines and forfeit- ures be turned into the county treas- ury,there is a special act for Char- lotte providing that the city of Char- lotte may sue in the recorder’s court to recover penalties for a violation of the ordinances of the city.After re- viewing the rulings of the Supreme Court in Board of Education vs.Hen- derson,School Director vs.Asheville, Bearden vs.Fullam and Commission- ers vs.Raleigh,the Attorney»General declares that “The net result of all the authorities seems to be that when a penalty is imposed in a criminal prosecution brought in the name of the State the clear proceeds of the penalty must goto the general coun- ty school fund,but when a penalty is recovered in a civil action by a person or by a municipality author- ized to sue for the same the mandate of the constitution does not apply.A municipality may prescribe penal- ties for violations of its ordinances and may collect and appropriate toitselftheproceedsofsuchpenalties.” “It is true,”says Mr.Bickett in his ruling,“that by virtue of section 8702 of the Revisal every violation of a town ordinance is made a mis- demeanor and the mayor may issue his warrant in the name of the State against the offending party.Fines imposed in such ecrfminal prosecu-tion must be paid to the general school fund.But this does not pre- clude the city from suing for the pen- alty in its own name.In fact for the violation of the ordinance the offending party will be proceeded against at the same time by the State for having committed a misde- meanor and by the city for the col- lection of a penalty.It follows that the city of Charlotte in suing for the penalty in the case under considera- tion was acting well within its rights.” Proposed Changes in Parcel Post Ob- jected to By Railroads.. Railway representatives have join- ed in the fight to prevent Postmaster General Burleson from increasing the size of parcel post packages trans- missible through the mails and re- ducing the rates,to become effective August 15.A delegation represent- ing the railroads generally through- out the country laid their complaint before Senators and Representatives and prepared to protest formally against the changes in the Inter-State Commerce Commission. In protesting against the changes,the railway representatives said that at present the roads received fifty per cent of the pay collected by express companies for the carriage of pack- ages and.claimed they would lose year on business the government would take from the express compa- hies through the reduced rates and increased Maximurt Timit on the size of packajes,°, [t also was pointed out that the roads would receive no compensation from the government for carrying of the very business for which the ex-press companies had paid them mil« lions.It was.urged that in the en- actment of the parcel post law,Con-gress allowed the railroads five per cent additional pay for the increased business placed upon them,and if the proposed changes were to be made the roads would be entitled to a fur- ther increase in compensation.The delegation suggested that the matter would be carried to the courts if nec-essary. (Despite criticism from all sources, Postmaster General Burleson an- nounces his purpose to put the rates into effect August 15.) Rocky Mount Postmaster Possibility Investigated.

Organizer Salvation Army Jead. New York Dispatch,23d. Word has reached here of the death in Cologne,Germany,on Saturday of Commissioner George Scott Railton,pioneer of the Salvation Army in the United States,France and Germany. He traveled all over the world, preaching,writing and engaging in other activities for the army,his service in that cause having berun as Gen.William Booth’s secretary when the movement was known as the “Christian Mission.”He was largely responsible for the change to the pres- Pioneer ent name. Sitting at his desk in General Booth’s office one day,Mr.Railton wrote:“The Christian Mission is a voluntary army.”His chief,looking over his shoulder,took the pen from his hand,lined out the word “volun- teer”and substituted “salvation.” From that day the army was known by ita present corporate title. General Railton arrived in New York in the fa})of 1880.His command consisted of seven English girls.In the tittre Company knelt on the flag-stones in Castle Garden and “took pos session of America in the name of God and the Salvation Army.” New York did not prove hospitable. The police denied the company thé right to hold open-air meetings.No church would open its doors to the strangers,nor was any public hall ob- tainable.Harry Hill,who had a mixed show in Houston street,on which the virtuous frowned,gave the Salvation- ists their first welcome.Commissioner Railton and his Eng- lish girls went to Harry HIl’s,where, between acts,the commissioner ad- dressed the habitues of that,resort, and the girls sang army songs. In his travels Commissioners Rail-ton always liked to associate with the humblest.He insisted on going steerage on water trips.On land he went second class when there was no third and third class when there was no fourth.

Southerners Object to Negro ForRegisterofTreasury. Washington Dispatch to CharlotteObserver.: President Wilson’s action in se-lecting Adam E.Patterson,a negro of Muscogee,Okla.,ror Register oftheTreasury,at a salary of $5,000 a year incensed many Southern Demo- crats.His confirmation is extremely doubtful.While none is willing to be quoted at this time,there is consid- erable murmuring among members of Congress against the new nominee, who had the endorsement of Senator Gore.As the position has been held for years by a negro,quite a number of colored men were applicants. Geo.C.Clement of Charlotte had the endorsement of several members of his State delegation for the place. Democrats from other States say they had been waiting hopefully for a Southern man to reach the White House to end the rule of negro office- holders.They were disappointed at the selection of Patterson,who is a negro lawyer. (The office of register of the Treas- ury has been held by negroes for tne past 40 years or more,under all ad- ministrations.Negroes held the of- fice under both Cleveland administra- tions.)eRNNENNENR Dr.J.T.J.Battle of Greensboro stated the other day that there had been 1,500 cases of malarial fever in Greensboro the past 12 months due from mosquitoes.BLUE ANDDISCOURAGED Mrs.Hamilton Tells How She Finally Found Health in Lydia E.Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound.

Shipmates of Wilbur Martin,a young marine,whose home was in An- derson,8.C.,and who died in a hospit- al at Philadelphia,declared he was one of the wealthiest enlisted men in the United States navy.They say he was a beneficiary under the will of his uncle,who died in St.Louis,to the extent of $165,000,provided he com- pleted his enlistment,which would have expired next September. A constitutional amendment to em- power ‘Congress to regurate marri- age and divorce is proposed in a joint resolution by Representative Ed- munds of Pennsylvania.The resolu- tion would amend the constitu- tion to provide:“Congress shall have the power to establish uniform laws on the subject of marrtage and di- vorce for the United States and to provide penalties for violation there+ of.” President Wilson has determined that no faction in the present Mex- ican revolution shall obtain arms or ammunition from the United States, and that neutrality must be observed in its strictest sense.This was the interpretation of the neutrality laws decided upon by the President after conferences with Senator Bacon and Representative Flood,chairmen of the two congressional committees on foreign rélations. For the first time in its history, Philadelphia is to have a woman street inspector.The new apporntee is Mrs.Edith W.Pierce,secretary of the Home and School League,who will receive $1,300 a year.Mrs. Pierce's duty will be somewhat differ- ert from that of the men inspectors. Instead of having a district,she will cover the whole city and will pay par- ticular attention to the condition of schools and homes.

Little by little the representatives of the railroads seem to be making the concessions demanded in the freight rate adjustment.Judging from the preliminary report of the corporation commission,one may reasonably expect that a settlement will be reached before the extra.ses- sion of the Legislature convenes in September. Charlotte,which has been awarded an appropriation of $250,000 for.a Federal building to take the place of the present structure,is now demand- ing that the amount be doubled.The demand for the half-million dollar public building,the Observer finds it necessary to assure the public,is not simply a raid on the Treasury “but a recognition of the fact that Char- lotte has become a city and will soon be a large city.”Charlotte is too modest.It should ask for a million, The Louisburg Times observes that “an officer cannot be expected to en- force the laws when he knows he will receive the criticism of the public for so doing.”It is natiral for an officer not to do what is unpopular, but it is his business to do his duty, regardless of what the public may say.An officer takes an oath to ex- ecute the law—not the popular laws only but all laws;and when he fails to enforce the law,no matter what his opinion or the public opinion of the law,he is false to his oath. Our concern in Mexican affairs is becoming somewhat acute.Ambassa- dor Wilson,who was summoned home do report on the situation,arrived Jast week and in’aditifien to his.re- port the President has reports from two other Americans,who seem to have investigated affairs in Mexico as agents of our government.The shooting of an American immigration inspector by Mexican soldiers,fol- lowed by a demand on the Mexican government for reparation,adds ma- terially to.the seriousness of the situ- ation.What will be done remains to be seen but it is devoutly to be hoped that the necessity for armed inter- vention may be avoided. As a matter of passing interest to the readers of the paper,it may be mentioned that with this issue The Landmark enters upon its fortieth year.The first issue appeared June 19,1874,so that the paper’s 39th birthday was on the 19th of last June, but as numbers run Vol.XL.,No.1, begins today.The Landmark was founded by John B.Hussey and the first six years of its existence chang- ed hands two or three tinees.The late J.S.Ramsey sold it to the late J.P. Caldwell in 1880,who owned and edited it for 12 years and retained an interest in it until 1907,The present owner and é@ftor will have been in tne office 30 years the first of next Sep- tember and he has ‘edited the paper since February,1892,more than 21 years.Since thefirst issue the sub- scription price of The Landmark has ‘heeh Bt.,<o dar.(t sold for that price when it was a 7-column 4-page weekly and today it gives nearly four times as much for the same money. At the meeting of the Press Asso- ciation in Asheville Judge Thomas A. Jones represented the mayor of the city and delivered the address of wel- come.Following is an extract from his remarks: “Personally,I believe in the great- est liberty of the press.When I was judge of the criminal court of Bun- combe the Asheville papers saw fit to criticise me severety.Some of my friends tried to persuade me to have a certain editor arrested for con- tempt but I told them that I would do no such thing,for I believed as long as newspapers gave the facts about the case of a judge,or any other pub- lie officer,that they,had a right to in- dulge in any criticism,however harsh it might be;that they had a perfectrighttoexpresstheopinionthat.Iwasanunjustortyrannicaljudge,orthatmydecisionswereoutrageous,orasfarasIwasconcerned,]was a dis-grace to the bench and should be im-peached;that this was their preroga-tive,and they had a perfect right toexpresstheirviews,however much Inaturallydislikedordisagreedwiththem.” “Spoken like a man,”says the Salis-bury Post.Indeed it is.The public man who has so broad a conception of the liberty of the press is indeed rare.

The clouds and:showers Friday ap- parently did not operave against the attendance on the Farmers’UnionjicnicattheStateFarm,the crowdingoneofthelargesteverassem-bled on such an occasion.The farmerfolksweretherefromallsectionsofthecountyandtherewasagoodlynumberofStatesvillepeoplepresent.The features of the day were fineaddressesbyDr.D.H.Hill,presidentofA.&M.College at Raleigh,‘and Rev.W.A.Lutz of Statesville,the dinner and music by the Stony Pointhand.The addresses were delivered in a large open builcing which is con-verted into an auditcrium for such oc-casions.The public dinner was spreadonalongtableinthegroveandon account of showers many families ate their dinner privately inside the build- ing.‘Rey.W.A.Lutz asked the bless-ing on the public dinner.There was dinner galore and if anyone went hun- gry it was not the fault of the picniccommittee,who had ample provisionforall. The exercises of the day opened shortly after 11 o’clock with prayer by Rev.J.W.Jones of Mooresville. Mr.W.B..Gibson,president of the county union,who presided,told of the object of the gathering and_ex- tended a cordial wetcome to those present.In closing he introduced Mayor L.C.Caldwell of Statesville, who,after a few fitting remarks,pre- sented Dr.Hill.Dr.Hill very nat- urally spoke along educational lines and his address was very instructive and.helpful in all respects.All civilization,said the speaker,isheldinplacebecausewhenthetime of need comes nature has a man ready to ‘meet the need.Yf nature needs men’and women to meet these ever- increasing problems,then it is the need of the home,farmers’unions,col- leges,etc.,to raise up such men and women as are needed.In this day of great corporations and graft,when men are hired to defraud and when 80 many disregard tne property and rights of others,the greatest need is for honest men.It is a great compli- ment to the South that no Southern Senator or Representative has been charged with graft.We have a won- derfully honest people.Let it be the greatest effort of our lives to see that our boys and girls become men and women that are white in body and soul alike.We need men who can- not be bought.Secondly we need a class 4of broad-minded men and broad-visioned women.Sometimes our vision does not go beyond our community.Problems are pressing in all communities and we should learn what these problems are and be ready and willing to meet them.Thére are just three classes of men and women in the world and the object of all training is to elevate from one to the other.The first class don’t know how, the second can do when told and will do,and the third and smallest class can do without being told.We mustbringupourchildrenthatthey will be in this latter class and will not have to be told what and how to do things.We must bring up men who know what to do on the farm. Every bit of fertilization that is lost is a national loss.The soil strips it- self every year fora race against the seasons and it is a race that feeds the world.We must help it in this race by preparing it so that fertil- ization and moisture will be conserv- ed,with vast results at the end of the race.The world is advancing 25 per cent greater in population thaninfarmproductsandthisdifference must be overcome.The greatest study today is the study of the soil, and the farmers above all other men need to give their time to a study of the soil.Only a few years ago we didn’t even know what fed the plants. Another side of farm life that has been neglected is the handling of live stock.We*used to be*satisfied if a eow gave a gallon of milk a day,but tdday the progressive farmer is not} satisfied with anything short of a/| regular milk machine.By proper| breeding better Stock may be easily grown and by proper feeding cbwsniemadetoproducemoremilkat“eae Ne ornete Ts tow ay ie Coe which gives her weight te milk every 18 days and is maktng $4,000 a year for her owners.The stock industry is yet in its infancy and ail these things tending to its development should be taught to our.boys and girls.We were taught to memorize the naies of the capitals of the countries of the world, but how many of us were taught about plant growth and stock breed-4 ing. If we would make our community what it should be we should have good home-makers.The home life on the farm should be improved.Many men try to get the best tools and farming implements,but they leave the women to do their work in the same old way and expect them to last forever and cook good dinners.The women are sadly neglected and worked too hard. A woman should never have to milk a cow,carry in stove wood,or do any of those things that are really a man’s work.Many women who are handsome and strong when they be- come a farmer’s home-makér soon waste away because of the hard worktheyarecompelledtodowithoutprop-er equipment in the home.If we want our boys and girls to stay on the farm they must be given more amusements and comforts which belong to farm life.A pig should be set aside every.year as an “intellectual pig.”When he becomes a hog use the selling price to buy books for the home. Let this be an age when we co-operate in efficiency.-We need to be- lieve that there are others just as honest as we are.If a man is ignor- ant he is suspicious and afraid to co-operate,with his fellows in any en-terprise that might better all.Thereisreallynousetoundertakeco-op-eration in anything until we believeineachother.We need men and wo- men who know;who are able to seethelightandbestofalltoshedthelightonthoseaboutthem.Manager W.J.Shuford of the farm-ers’co-opreative creamery at Hickory, was not present and-Rev.W.A.Lutzspokeinhisstead.Mr.Lutz said that the prosperity of the country rests with the farmer.God has com-missioned the human race to do atwothings,according to the Bible,namely:to till the soil and preach the gospel.God has filled the earth capable of great,development.We cangetfromtheworldjustwhatwe want ‘to get.If a man wants to get12bushelsofcorntotheacrehecangetitorifhewantstoget50andiswillingtodohispartbyco-opera- tion with God he can get it.All wehavetodoistoexercisejudgmentandgetoutoftheworldwhatwewant.The life of the farmer is happiest ofallandtheboyonthefarmiscom-paratively free from temptation.Itisafactthat92percentofthemer- chants of the country fail sooner orlater,and yet many boys want to quit the farm and go to town in face of that fact.Mr.Lutz gave illustra- tions of personal knowledge wherefarmershadtakenlandthatwaswashedintogulleysandbypropercareandcultivationhadmadeitvery productive,God commanded Adam to dress the garden of Eden and he intends that we shvuld “dress”our farms and make them what they should be.

Washington Dispatch to CharlotteObserver. In anticipation of meats and cattlebeingplacedonthefreelistinthe Underwood-Simmons tariff bill,theDepartmentofAgriculturehasal-ready taken steps to safeguard im- ports to this country from Argentina and other foreign countries.Dr.A.D.Melvin,chief of the bureau of ani-mal industry,has been dispatched to Argentina.by Secretary Houston oftheDepartmentofAgriculture,andwillinvestigatetheslaughterhouses and methods of.packing in that and other South American countries.Dr. E.C.Ross has also been ordered from Portland,Oregon,to Australia on theSamemission.Heavy importations of meat pro-ducts are expected from South Ameti- ca,particularly Argentina,andfromAustralia,and it is expectedthattheseimportswithoutthepay- ment of duty will have an immediateeffectuponthecostofliving.At pres-ent the beef trust avsolutely dictatesthepriceof‘fresh «nd cured meats and unless they can also dominate the source of product abroad,some relief to the hard pressed consumer should follow the adoption of the Dem-ocratic tariff bill. Of course if the packers can handle all the imports from abroad,as is feared by some,the decrease in pricemaynotresultandonlythepackers will benefit from the new source of supply.They are already increasing their facilities for handling these im-ports. anneeaienairanteatinintineteenaenn Boasts of Career of Crime. Chicago Dispatch,23d. In a statement made to the police, Walter Novak,20 years old,arrested with four companions today after they had fatally wounded Patrolman Frank Walpole,admitted having tak- en part in more than 50 robberies in two months and boasted of his careerofcrime. “I was born a thief and I’ve been a thief ever since,”said Novak.“I don’t care whether I go to the gallows or not.I started when I was nine years old stealing penntes from kids. I have been put in all kinds of insti- tutions to reform me,but they onlymademeworse. “There is only one good thing I can say for myself and that is I never robbed a man dressed like a work ingman.I suppose I have committed more than 500 robberies since I start- ed out in this businews. “I was a pal of Frank Sommerling, Frank and.Ewald Shiblawski and’ Thomas Schultz,who were hanged last February for the murder of Fred W.Guelzow,a truck gardener.I did several jobs with those boys before they got caught.” Druggists Will Fill Prescriptions Hereafter. Clinton Democrat. The Clinton physicians have decid. ed to effect a radical change in their ractice.Always the physicians here ave filled their own prescriptions, keeping on hand a large stock of med- icines.Effective on August the first they will discontinue tnis practice. Then they will write their prescrip- tions to be filled by the druggists. This is the custom in practically all towns and the physicians are taking this step not only for their own con- venience,but for that of those who have the prescriptions to be filled.We have a number of registered pharma- cists in town,all of whom are well qualified for their duties.The three drug stores in town will carry a com- plete line of drugs,so that it will be no trouble to get a prescription filled at any hour of the,day.

Washington Dispatch to AshevilleCitizen. Additional evidence,if any is still needed,that State Chairman Charles A.Webb of Asheville will not be ap-pointed district attorney in the west- ern district,was furnished when it be- came known that efforts are being made to secure some other position for him.The matter has not yet pro- ceeded far,but it can be said with cer- tainty that it will not interfere with the prospects of Manley McDowell be- ing appointed marshal. Just what position Mr.Webb will get is not known now,and probably will not be for a week.It is learn- ed,however,that the position his friends have in mind for him will be equally as remunerative as the dis- trict attorneyship,considering the amount of labor it will require. (It was The Landmark’s private opinion,publicly expressed,that the “other place”would be offered Mr. Hammer,to clear the way for Webb.) Surprising Cuore of Stomach Trouble.
