Pens VOL.XXXTX.*-STATESVILLE,N.C.,TUESDAY,MARCH 4,1913. NO.63 ate AN ATTEMPT AT INCENDIARISM. Fire Started Under the St.CharlesHotelBuilding—Discovered andFlamesExtinguishedBeforeAny‘Damage Resulted. A bold attempt was made late Sun-day night to burn the old St.Charles Hotel building on Center street,nowtheNewYorkhotel,but without,se- rious results.About 11 o’clock per-sons in the building smelled burning oil and a hurried search of the inter- jor was.made but no fire could be found.The odor grew stronger and the fire department,which is tem- rarily stationed in the Westmore- and stable,rear of the hotel building, was notified.The firemen responded and-—-after~—considerable searching flames were observed under the floor of the portion of the building occupied by the Statesville Printing Co.-A line of hose was run under the build- ing and the printing establishment was entered and a hole cut into the floor at the point where it was burn- ing.With chemicals applied from the interior and water from the exterior, the fire was quenched within a few minutes after discovery. When Policeman Neighbors turned the chemical machine on the fire he noticed a bugch of burning substance fall from the sill under the floor.Yes- terday morning when a more thorough investigation was made a ball of small rope saturated with oil, partially burned,was found on the ground beneath the hole in the floor. The investigation also disclosed that a portion of the underpinning of the building had been removed near where the fire was started.Officers are at work on the case with the hopeof | establishing the identity of the guilty party. The old St.Charles building,which is a frame structure and as “dry as a chip,”seems.to be fireproof.Many times has the building caught fire, but as many times have the flames been discovered and extinguished be- fore serious damage was done.

A Voting Contest That Was Lively. Early in”January the Crescent theater inaugurated a voting contest that wound up Friday evening with as much excitement as a hard-fought rimary.The theater folks offered a Maxican silk scarf to be votedtoa lady. Each ticket of admission carried a coupon and the coupon at the outset was good for ten votes,the numberofvotestothecouponbeingincreased under certain conditions.Toward the close of the contest.the interest be-came intense and partisans of those being voted for became active.The es and clubs were invaded andallwhowouldgoandvotewere furnished tickets -of admission.In fact some of the campaigners almost went out into the highways andhedgesandcompelledfolkstogoseethe“movies,”all that was necessarybeinganagreementtovoteasre-quested.The afternoon:the contestclosedacrowdlinedthesidewalkinfrontofthetheatertokeeptabonthe voting and many who went in cameoutandwentinagaintogetmoreticketstocastmorevotes.Meantimeofcoursethemovingpicturepeoplesimplyrakedinthecoin.e contest ended in favor of MissMaryMcLain,who received 8,851,600votes.Mrs,J»E.Deitz “was nexthighest,receiving 4,783.502,and othervoteswerescattering.

The fate of Stella Cowan,the negrogirlwhodisappearedfromherhome in Rankintown last night a week ago,is still unknown.Officers and rela-tives of the girl are still working onthecasewiththehopeofascertaining her whereabouts,but so far their ef-forts have been futile.The girl’s people believe she has met with foul play and have about lost hope of finding her alive.All kinds of wild rumors to the effect that the body had been found have gone the’rounds,but none had foundation.Saturday it was told around that her body had been located in a well at the old con- vict camp northwest of town,but it was found that the well was of ten- inch terra cotta and all that could befishedfromitwasafewsmallstumps and other trash.

THEY HAVE A HARD TIME. A Visit to Raleigh Convinces a Land- mark Man That Representing the “Peepul”is Not a Joy Forever—How the Members Lose Out Finan- cially and.Othewise—Local Bills By Messrs.Grier and Hall. The writer spent a few days in|aleigh the past week,observing the|Workings of the Legislature,and is/of the opinion that representing ‘the |“peepul”is not what it is cracked up |to be.Those who stay at home and |“knock”indiscriminately those sent |to Raleigh to represent them should|visit at least one session of the Leg- |islature and see that law-making body at work.Then,perhaps,it would notbesaidthatalltheydoistodraw their pay and have a good time.|Every day a Senator or Represen- tative is in Raleigh on his job he is either losing money or barely making’ jends meet from a financial standpoint.;They draw $4 a day for their servi- ces.At the better hotels they pay $1 }to $1.50 a day for a room,and it jtakes good figuring to order a meal at a cafe that costs less than 75 cents to $1.Add the cost of laundry, |shaves and other little necessaries to a decent appearance and he is in the |hole.Besides,he is losing the earn- ings from his work at home.Then, too,there are political leeches who voted for him and follow him to Ral-eigh for a “tip.” So much for the legislator’s expen- ses and his job as a business propo- sition..His work,héwever conscien- tiously he may try,is not always pleasant.He is rarely asked to pass a bill for his people back home that there is not some opposition.His sup- port or non-support of most bills pleases,or displeases part of his con- stituents.He cannot please all and this is a big item with a-representa- tive who wants to go back another term.He would much prefer that all his votes be backed by petitions,lib- erally signed,from the folks athome.At the same time he does not care to stultify himself by voting against his own convictions.So,there you are. Again,the representatives are not treated entirely square by thoge whosendthemthere.Unless the legisla-tion wanted is so apparent that the representative initiates it himself,those who do want it wait until the eleventh hour to petition their repre- sentative,This should all be thoughtoutandarrangedinadvance—andpresentedtotherepresentativebefore he starts to Raleigh.After he hasreachedthereheissupposedtobetoo busy to prepare bills and it is incon- venient to talk them over with thepetitionersandtheopponentsofthe measure back home.Local bills could as easily be prepared at home and ready for introduction on arrival in Raleigh.Local bills are important to local people but should be handled so as not to impede progress on bills of With all the un- fairness of petitioners in not having their bills ready in advance the rep- resentatives,generally speaking, work all day and a good part of the night in trying to get them introduc- ed and rushed through the proper channels to have them become laws. There is.such a demand for the pass- age of local bills and such a desire on the part of the representatives to get them passed that those that are ready are handled early in the_ses- sion,forcing more important matters to the last and then come flooding intoimpedethelocalbillsthatshould nate beéh-im early.Hence,the rep resentatives come in for a_double “cussing”—from advocates of,local bills who fear they will not:g&t through in time and*from those who claim that important matters are held for the last and then _rushed through with little #r no considera- tion.So,there you are again.The representative of.the ~peepul”has not only lost out financially but on ac- count of the difficulties under which he labors his work aoes not give him a very big honor score. Sixty days under the circumstances would seem little enough to consider and weigh carefully laws affecting the State at large.Numerous wrongs could be righted with time enough for serious consideration but they arepassedalongwithahorsebackopinion because of the Sevebeds lack of time for consideration. In addition to the Mooresville re-corder’s court bill,published else- where in today’s Landmark,Mr.T.N.Hall has introduced in the House a bill to pay as jurors men who are summoned on-a special venire but who are not accepted;to provide for thesaleofsharesofstockintheMid- land railroad company owned by Cod-dle Creek township,the proceeds tobeappliedtothescnoolsofCoddle Creek township (in the event thestockcannotbesoldthenthedivi-dends are to be applied to said schools);to specify the voting places for the Mooresville graded school dis~ trict;to prohibit the smoking of cig-arettes around Triplett Methodist church,near Mooresville.This bill was introduced on petition from mem-bers of that church.All these billsaretakingtheirturnintheLegista- ture and are expected to come forthlawsbeforethesessionends.In addition to other bills hereto-fore mentioned Mr.Grier introducedintheHouseabillfortheprotectionandmaintenanceofimproveméntsmadebyThirdCreekDrainageAs-sociation.The provisions of the billarethatland-owners along ThirdcreekfromWatts’mill to the Rowanlineshallkeepthechannelclearofalldebris,that once a year they shallcutallbriars—~other~ -month for each additional from the banksa:be cut on both sides > 100feet BRIEF ITEMS OF LOCAL NEWR —It’s March weather. shine but cool and windy, ~-Box supper at Carter school house Friday night,7th.Public in-vited and ladies requested to supply boxes.A —Mr.E.L.Rufty,Loray,killedtwopigs)last week.They were 224daysoldandweighed220and229 pounds, —Arthur Delroy,who explained and demonstrated mind reading,hyp~ notism,et¢e.,was heard at Shearer Hall last evening. —Mrs.J.C.Campbell of Charlotte is very sick at the home of her sis- ter,Mrs.A.W.Bradley,where she has been visiting for some days.

Whe Greensboro News can see no need of a law to prohibit hazing so long as the criminal law already im- poses pains and penalties for bur- giary,assaults and other felonies and misdemeanors.The Landmark sug- gested that inasmuch as the criminal law is not construed to ‘apply to the burglaries and other felonies and mis- demeanors committed by students on a college campus,it could do no harm to have a special act applying to such eases.Whereupon the News re- aponds:Ree : Does The Landmark mean to Seri- ously maintain that the acts of the Getieral Assembly,in its opinion, would have the slightest effect on the customs of a college campus?If the hazers actually,albeit thoughtlessly, violate the present laws against bur- giary and lying in wait on the high- way,two of the most serious offences on the statute-book,how much respect ‘would they have for a law directed specifically against hazing?Hazing is already a very serious crime inst the laws of North Carolina; the only difficulty is in getting the laws enforced,and to the remedying of that difficulty rather than to the making of new laws the Legislature should turn.Invest the presidentsof the colleges with power to examine witnesses under oath,and to compel the recalcitrant to testify under pen- alty of going to jail and the thing is .done.With the faculty recognized as a court of law by the State the stigma of the informer would be re- mioved from the witnesses who testi- fied there and the authorities*could secure evidence enough to.insure prompt and sure punishment for ev- ery hazer.After all it is not the se- verity,-but the certainty of punish- ment that deters men from evil, whether they are hazers or ordinary barglars. We have no contention as to how this infamous lawlessness shall be exterminated,just so the method is effective.But inasmuch as students have gone on all these years commit- ting serious and outrageous offences against their fellows and the law; and being aided and abetted in most cases by the college faculties,have been able without trouble to evade the law and escape punishment,it does seem that a specific act cover- ing the case might help.But if the News’plan will-work we’re agreea- ble.The only trouble will be in get- ting the college presidents to act. They usually try to hush up:matters. The press dispatches made seal ado over the fact that President-elect Wilson got up and gave his seat to a lady in a crowded railway coach theotherday,and several Southern dai- lies featured the story.Candidly now is that any more than any Southern|gentleman would have done under the |same circumstances?And it must be|remembered that the President-elect was born and bred in the South.—Henderson Gold Leaf. The incident probably attracted un-| ysual attention for the reason that in | jhe part of the country in which Mr. Wilson lives it is the exception rath-| er than the rule for a man to offer| his seat to a lady in a stteet car or| on a railway train.Moreover,the| President or President-elect of the| United States are such important per- sonages that their simplest acts are} often reported in the papers at great| length,not because the acts are im-| portant in themselves but because the | man is,and the public wants to kriow | if he does and says things like other folks..This feature of newspaper work,however,is much overdone. But the Gold Leaf wants té know it giving a seat to a lady isn’t what any Southern gentleman would have done”?It is what any Southern gentleman should do;But if the editor of the Gold Leaf will board almost any railroad train in North Caroina and keep his:éeyes open he will con- clude,after he has seen many women search for seats while men sit,that the Southern gentleman isn’t so nu-~erous or if he is he has.forgottenhismanners.: ; The Landmark is printing today the full text of the bill establishing a re- corder’s court at Mooresville.The copy of the bill was obtained through the courtesy.of Representa- tive Hall,who introduced it.The Landmark believes in recorder’s courts and it congratulates Moores- ville that one is to be establishedthere.In this respect that good town has taken a step in advance of States- ville,which should have had a record- er’s court long ago.The majority of the members of the legal profession, however,usually oppose these courts. For obvious‘reasons they want every case,no matter how frivolous,thresh- ed out in Superior Court before a ju- /ry;and often days and days of Su-'_perior Court are consumed disposing _of-misdemeanor cases that could have -been disposed of in a recorder’s courtandoffendersconvictedcouldoften serve sentence while lying in jailawaitingtrial.~So long as aprisonerhastherightofappealallhisrights are safe-guarded.The criticism thiswouldmakeoftheMooresvillebillisthattherecorder’s juris- does not exceed that of a mag- ed jurisdiction.jon of —the enlarged after two However, years. ably the idea is to try it out for Act of.the lin the regulation and ordering there- istrate for the first two years,where-chief advantage tn such courts Mooresville ure the *g.Court..For..Mooresa-ville and Defining the Duties and Powers of the Same.

TUESDAY,March 4,1913 Se mye “The Vice President-elect ** puffed a cigarette with the newspaper correspondents.”Horrors —Asheville Gazette-News. Yes,more horrors.The Landmark has wanted to think well of Vice President Marshall,but what can be said for a Vice President of the Unit- ed States who smokes cigarettes? Says the Greenshoro News: On this,the eve of the inauguration, we venture to advance something in, the way of prophecy.Our,prognosis is that the administration of Wood- row Wilson is going to be successful, and that Mr.Wilson will be stronger four years hence than he is today. Here’s hoping the News will prove a true phophet.RNS Too bad.The United States Sen- ate struck out of the agricultural ap- propriation bill $256,100 appropriated for the free distribution of seeds and this gave hope that this hoary hum- bug was eliminated for all time.But not so.The members of the House evidently wanted to hold on to the absurd graft and the conference com- mittee of the two houses restored the item. The new State revenue act imposes a tax on newspaper subscription con- tests.In The Landmark’s opinion the eontest is a proper subject of taxa- tion.While strictly speaking it’s none of this paper’s business what method its contemporaries adopt to secure new business,\it has often thought that the.Postoffice Depart- ment would do the public and the newspapers a good service by putting these contest schemes out of busi- ness. Recently the editor of the Salisbury Post felt moved to remark that there was a strong resemblance of features between the editor of The Landmark and Vice President-elect Thos.R. Marshall.While The Landmark man was debating whether to bring suit| for libel or accept the remark as a compliment,some other editor (name unknown)remarked that it was a Shame that so handsome a man as Senator Overman would have to ride down Pennsylvania avenue today with an ornery looking cuss (words to that effect}like Marshall.This has em- barrassed the Post,which admits that it doesn’t know what to say.The edi- tor of this paper isn’t vain enough to} think he would take a prize at a beauty show,but hanged if he isn’t willing to stand up alongside of some of the editors who have been making comparisons and and take chances on a verdict. ? insinuations, The passage of the Webb bill over |guided judicial discretion”and makes the President's veto is evidence of the growth of the anti-liquor sentiment and it is further a gratifying evidence jare of the streneth of State’s rights.The Webb bill does not prohibit the ship- ment of liquor from a State where it can be lerally sold into a State where its sale is prohibited,but ‘t does pro- vide that when the shipments go into a State where the «ale of liquor is prohibited they are subject to the reg- ulations of that State.Therefore,so fong as a State does not prohibit the individual from buymg liquor for his own use he can have liquor shipped for personal use.But when the State prohibits the sale of liquor it can seize shipments which it appears will be used in violation of the State law.That is the substance of the Webb law;it simply concedes to the States the right to control the liquor traffic and to prevent evasions of State laws by inter-State shipments.<tecenerenaseisteiieiemenmmnitaninemain Judging by the opposition in the State Senate to the search and seiz- ure law,it is evident that a good many people who have gone along in the prohibition procession did so for the sake of policy.Fact is,the pro- hibition law has had to depend for enforcement in many instances onpeoplewhowerenotprohibitionists, and but for their support it would stand a poor show in many localities,One Senator who said he had votedforprohibitionexpressedtheopinionthatenforcementofthesearchandseizureJawwouldleave“a trail of-bloodshed”in eastern Carolina,where, he said,many farmers keep a supply of whiskey on hand to furnish their hands.In response to this the Dur- ham Herald hits the nail on the head with the following: 4 If it is a fact that many farmerskeepasuplyofwhiskeyonhandto furnish their hands they chould beperathesameastheotherindtigers.that they give it away The Boone Democrat has dropped | the Washington hand press and now has a clyinder.It has put on a newheadingand-other“Congratulations.improvements |claim FROM WITHOUT THE STATE. ‘lTtems of Interest From AllOver theCoun‘try. tor of World’s Work,who is:a ‘nativeofNorthCarolina,declined the offerofaplacein,Wilson’s cabinet.

The garment workers’strike in progress in New York city since ear-ly January,involving at its height150,000 or more workers,was offi- cially declared off Friday night.The workers accepted the manufacturers’terms,which included a raise in pay,revision of certain working conditions,arbitration as to hours and the open shop principle.: Representatives of the Standard Manufacturing Company of Pittsburg,and other members of the bath tub trust,recently convicted for criminal conspiracy in restratnt of trade,haveofferedtopaythefinesimposedon them and make no further eontest ifthegovernmentwillcancelanother criminal indictment now —pending against them.The request is under consideration.

The first break of importence in the Senate deadlock over President Taft’s appointments came Saturday when the Senate,in a two hour execu- tive session,confirmed a large number of the first promations made in the: army,Davy,Marine corps,revenue cutter service,public health serviceanddiplomaticservice.The confirma- tions were made as the result of gen-eral agreemen:<:...appointments of this character involving promotion along definite lines of service shouldnotbeheldup.The agreement also extended to the confirmation of the appointments of postmasters in the home towns of Senators. cenonescel Investigating a Charlotte Sensation.

Following is the statement given out with reference to officeseekers: “The President regrets that he is oblived to announce that he deems it his duty to decline to see applicants for office in -person,except when he himself invites the interview.It is his purpose and desire to devote his attention very earnestly and very con- stantiy to the business of the govern- ment and the large questions of policy affecting the whole nation,and he knows from his experience as Govern- or of New Jersey—where it fell to him to make innumerable appoint- ments—that the greater part both of his time and of his energy will be spent in personal interviews with can-diates unless he sets an invariable rule in the matter.It is his intention to deal.with s#ppointments through| the heads of the several executive departments.” The names of the cabinet—the list was printed in the last issue of The Landmark—-were sent to the Senate Wednesday and promptly confirmed.

Young Thief Sent to Jail Mooresville Enterprise,6th. Albert Patterson,a simple looking little negro boy about 14 years of age,was taken to jail at Statesville last night for an assault on the young son of Mr.Rosebury Wilson. The Wilson boy was on his way to town with eggs for market,when the negro boy attempted to take the eggs away from him.It was later discovered that this same little negro had gone into the home of Mr.R.H. Baker,where he stole eggs,and in-to the pantry of Mrs.M.M.Miller where he (or some one)secured a half shoulder of meat. Blind Telephone Girls, The blind telephone girl has been tried and proved a success in Balti- more.Miss Elsie Sonderman was thefirst.She operates the e-change for the Sheppard-Pratt asylum.TheMarylandschoolfortheblindhas turned out five other well trained girls and the managers believe they ean open this field of work to many others. These girls are working with the regulation switchboards,but a new kind of board is being planned which will simplify the training and in~- crease the efficiency of the sightless operators. Yesterday President.Wilson gave a practical demonstration of the appli- cation of his new patronage rule to Senators Bryan and Fletcher of Flori- da,who called at the White House to discuss appointments of a_district judge and a United States attorney in the southern district of Florida. The President received them courte- ously but asked them to make their recommendations.to the Attorney General.

Washington cheered Mr.Taft heart- ily when he departed the capital city Tuesday afternoon—and he deserved the cheers.He said goodbye with a smile and evident relief.But the parting scenes were too much for Miss Helen Taft and she cried when friends said goodbye.One of the most distressing things in the muta- tions of politics is the disappointment and keen distress it brings to mem- bers of families of the chief actors. The Wilson girls are wildly joyous to- day.It may be their turn to weep four years hence. Discussing the judicial reform bill in the Legislature tne other day Mr. Page of Moore county,one of the most level-headed men in the Assem- bly,declared his conviction that law- yers are the poorest judges of the needs.of jury reform,because they are in the same position he was 15 years ago as a railroad-owner and operator.He fought State regula- tion of freight rates until he had learned better sense.His profession- al attitude blinded him then and the lawyers are thus blinded as to the needs of the jury system.The State, he said,needs to drive back to the plow many men now going into the professions,All of which is true. While the regulation of courts,and court procedure is usually left to law- yers,the majority of them seem un- able to view the matter from an unbiased standpoint,hence the neces- sity of giving the laymen a part in such matters,for the laymen are greatly concerned.Few men can riseabovethepersonalinterestinmatters in which they are much concerned, The right idea then is not to leave the regulation of any matter to those most interested nor to those who have least knowledge of it,but to strike a happy middle ground,free from both bias and ignornace. Many Anti-Trust Suits—Some Sur- render Without Firing a Gun. The United States-Circuit Court of Appeals in New York Mondoy held the Eastern States Lumber Dealers’ Association and allied companies to be an illegal combination in re- straint of inter-State trade. Dissolution of the so-called “coal tar trust”is asked by the government in a civil suit filed in the United States District Court in New York under the Sherman anti-trust law. The defendants named are the $15,- 000,000 Barrett Manufacturing Com- pany of West Virginia,its 14 subsi- diaries,the American Coal Products Company,holding concern for the corporation,and a number of their offi- cers and’directors.Suppression of competition in the sale of coal -tar, coal tar pitch and felt.for roofingpurposes,and monopolistic control oftradearecharged.While denying thechargesthedefendantshaveagreedtopleadguilty“to avoid litigation.”A civil anti-trust suit filed by or-der of Attorney GeneralWickersham,charging the Burroughs Adding Ma-chine Company with monopolizing in-ter-State and foreign trade in add-ing machines and appliances,was fol-lowed immediately bythe entry ofanagreeddecreeterminatingalleg-ed unfair practices to stifle competi-tion.The $5,500,000 company wasorderedtoinstructitsagentsinwrit-ing to desist from interfering.withcompetitorsandwasforbiddentoac-quire a controlling interest in anycompetingconcernwithoutthecon-sent of-the court.

Under the dome of the nation’s cap-itol,in the presence of a countless, cheering mass of his fellowmen,President Woodrow Wilson raised ahandtowardsapropheticsunthatburstdissolvingcloudsandpronounc- ed the occasion a day of dedication;not of triumph.~With members of his chosen cabinet surrounding him, the Justices:of the Supreme Court before him,his wife and,daughtersmanifestingtheirjoyontheplatform below,and William Howard.Taft, ex-President,at his side,the new’ President shouted a summons to all “honest,patriotic,.forward-lookingmen”to aid him,extending the prom- ise that he would not fail them in the guidance of their government.While the ‘President’s concluding inaugural words were tossing in tu- multuous’waves of applause,the re-tiring President clasped his hand andenlistedasapatrioticservantinthe ranks of private citizenship.“Mr, President,”said Mr.Taft,his face beaming with a smile,“I wish you a successful administration and _the carrying out of your aims.We will all be behind you.”‘ “Thank you,”said President Wil- son,and he turned to shake the hand of his Secretary of State,William J.Bryan. The military and civic pageant that followed this climax of the historic day was more than five hours pass- ing in review.Leaving Capitol hill at 2 o’clock in the afternoon,the last of the marching thousands had not saluted the President until long after darkness had fallen. Ceremonies in the Senate chamber, which marked the dying of the Sixty- second and the vitalizing of the new Sixty-third Congress,embracing the inauguration of Vice President Mar- shall and the swearing in of the Sen- ators-elect,were never more impres- sive.Though delayed somewhat by the course of legislation necessitating turning back half an hour the hands of the clock,the interest was tense. At 12:34 the New Vice President took the oath of office,administered by Senator Gallinger,the Senate was ad- journed and reconvened in special ses- sion and the Vice President delivered his inaugural address. Taking the Oath. Then began the procession from the Senate wing to the great amphithea- ter at the east front of the capitol. After Chief Justice White,followed by the other Justices of the Supreme Court,had entered the inaugural| stand,President Taft and President- elect Wilson appeared in the door- way of the capitol.Their presence was the signal for cheers from thecrowdassembledinthewideesplan- ade,on the huge grandstand and perched fringe-like on the roof of the capitol from one end to the other. Reaching the stand the President- elect stood for several moments with head bared,acknowledging the plaud- its of the crowd.Then with the Pres- ident,the chosen members of his cab- inet,.the Vice President,the Justices and Speaker Clark,he seat- ed himself to await the solemn cere-mony. Meanwhile,Mrs.Wilson,the Misses Margaret,Eleanor and Jesse Wilson, Mrs.Marshall and the Wilson family party,reached the front of the plat- form and took seats adjoining the inaugural rostrum.As the gay crowd cheered Mrs.Wilson was carried away by enthusiasm.She ran to the front rail and waved to the throng. Her daughters followed.So did Mrs. Marshall. Before the ceremonies began MissMargaretWilsonstoodupon_her chair to view the scene to better ad- vantage.When suddenly reminded that she was standing on her chair,high above the heads of all,the mag- net for thousands of peering eyes,she exclaimed:“Oh,I’m afraid I am too conspicuous up here.Eleanor,come on up here with me.”‘And her sister seized another chair and stood up and watched the throng.Mrs.Marshall stood on her chair also,Waving to the Vice President. Promptly at 1:35,when Chief Jus- tice White arose to administer the oath and Woodrow Wilson stood with right hand upraised to Heaven,the most human touch in the picture of the day asserted itself.Mrs.Wilson could not see well from her seat.As spryly as a school girl,she moved her chair to the side of the rostrum and climbed upon it with the assistance of Lieutenant Rogers,the President’s naval aide.Grasping the railing she stood there gazing at the President as he kissed the Bible and she remain- ed standing until hts address was concluded.The Misses Wilson joinedher.When the new President swore to uphold and defend the constitution,he stooped and kissed the open Bible, held in the hands of James D.Maher, deputy clerk of the Supreme Court. His lips touched a page,turned to atrandom,and fell upon the 119thPsalm. When the congratulations wereovertheJusticesoftheSupreme Court,members of the retiring and incoming cabinets and others shook the hand of the new Chief Magis-trate as he was ushered to the carri- age in front of the stand.Mr.Taftfollowedhimintothecarriage.HissmilehadnotwornoffanditradiatedoverthecrowdagthenewPresidentdoffedhishattothepopulacewhentheprocessionsta.There washardlyaminuteduringthenewPres-ident’s ride from the capitol to the White House that he did not hear aconstantlyrisingchorusofcheers,Itwasnear3o’clock when PresidentWilsonreachedtheWhiteHouse.Af-ter a hurried luncheon the President to review the parade,mG =Parade.e inaugural parade itself wasdelighttothenewPresident,he‘saidafterwards,but it was an extraordi-nary physical strain,President Wil-son and Vice President Marshall stoodMsidebysidefornearlyfivehours.

First Events of the Day. Inauguration day dawned cold andgray.A solid bank of heavy clouds completely shut off the sun and threatened to carry out the official prediction of “unsettled weather”in the afternoon,but later there was sunshine.|Early crowds gathered about the Shoreham hotel,where Mr. Wilson was stopping,and other crowds gathered about the White House.President Taft worked nearly all night and breakfasted with his wife and daughter. Senators Bacon,Crane and Over- man and Representatives Rucker,Me- Kinley and Garrett,the congressional committee in charge of the cere- monies,called at the Shoreham to take Mr.Wilson and Mr.Marshall to the White House.Meanwhile theCulverTroopandtheEssexTroop had lined up outside the hotel and the Princeton and Virginia men formed a lane toward the executive mansion. The party left the hotel at 9:45,ac- companied by the Culver and Essex troops of New Jersey,the Princeton and University of Virginia students. President Taft was on the portico to meet them.Soon afterward the march to the capitol began and arriving there Mr.Wilson was taken by Mr. Taft to the President’s room,while‘Mr.Marshall was taken to the Vice President’s room.Mrs.Taft and daughter did not go to the capitol but went from the White House to the home of Miss Boardman,a friend, where Mr.Taft joined them after the ceremonies and they left for Augusta, Ga. Mrs.Wilson and daughters,in the Senate gallaries,were the center of all eyes.Mrs.Wilson wore a tan cloth dress with a brown,ribbed silk cloak and a small hat to match.Miss Margaret Wilson wore blue silk pop- lin,Miss Jessie Wilson lavender broadcloth,and Miss Eleanor Wilson a bright blue cloth dress. The ceremonies in the Senate cham- ber were delayed by the closing ses- sion of the Senate.Mr.Taft was busy signing bills.Mr.Marshall went into the chamber at 11:45,his wife looking on from the gallaries,| but later left and returned at 12:30, when he was sworn in and delivered his address.Following this new Sen- ators and those re-elected were sworn in.In his address Mr.Marshall said: “To my mind,government is the harness with which a people draws its load of civilization.If the harnessbeproperlyadjustedtheload,though heavy,will be drawn with ease and| no part of thé people will be galled.The Senate is the blinders,intended to keep the people from shying at imaginary dangers and toppling into the ditch our system of government.} So long as the blinders serve this| purpose they are a most valuable part of the harness,but if they be drawn eee ann ann so closely+to the eyes as to prevent the seeing of real dangers,then they | should either be spread or done away| with entirely.I am one of those who| think that we can so adjust our blind-|ers as to meet new conditions and| render us sanely responsive to every| reasonable demand of the people with-| out disturbing any of the checks and| balances of our system of government and preserving with loyalty and fidel-| ity the ancient ideals of the republic.” (Continued on third page.)

President Wilson has wisely an- nounced at the beginning of his ad- ministration that he cannot undertake to see and confer with applicants for office.Under some circumstances he may decide to send for an applicant, but unless the invitation comes from the President the officeseeker is wast- ing time if he calls at the White House.The matter of appointments to office will be dealt with through heads of departments and Congress-, men.If the President should under- take to see officeseekers personally he could do nothing else.Affairs of state—of vast importance to all the people—would be neglected while the President listened to the contentions of rival delegations. The officeseekers,furthermore, should exercise a little patience and common sense,if it be possible for a man hot after a job to exercise these admirable qualities.The President will put the Democrats in the offices, but considering the vastness of the job of being President,he can’t do this in a day,a week,a month or a year.He should be allowed tirfie to get his bearings;and while the office- seeker may not believe it,there are other matters of public concern vast- ly more important than filling the offices.Members of Congress and Senators will do their officeseeking constituents a favor by urging on them the virtue.of patience;urge them to file their claims and then stay at home instead of staying about Washington,at an expense they can’t afford,worrying the life out of every-| body.If the officeseekers are allowed to absorb all attention—and they will | if permitted—presently there will be kicks and howls,attacks on the ad- ministration,bad feeling among the Democrats in Congress,all because a few people,many of them unworthy,| can’t get a job they are after.| Keep the officeseekers under until the people who are not hunting office but who are concerned in good gov- ernment,are given attention.[he non-officeholding and non-officeseek- ing mass are the folks worth while. They make the.offices and fill them. Opposing a bill that would permit women to become members of school boards,a member of the Legislature “insisted that woman’s sphere was higher than that of plodding through the details of committee and board meetings.He did not care to have the women forced into these business relations that could but impair their home life relations.”Some of these protectors and defenders of woman- hood become very much _concerned about “woman’s sphere”when it is proposedto allow the sisters some lib- erty and authority in the management of public .affairs.Possibly they are afraid that if the wife and mother is authorized to help manage the schools she might hot have time to cook,wagk, cut stove wood,work the garden and do the thousand and one other things that many of them have to do while the lords of creation are guarding the interests of the country—chiefly with talk.But for the work of good wo- men,even in their limited sphere of activity,the schools could hardly ex- ist. The treatment of the suffragettes when they attempted’to parade in Washington Monday was a disgrace to the country.They were hooted. jeered,insulted,shoved about the streets and their march greatly im- peded.Congress has.done well to or- der an investigation of the Washing- ton police force.It makes no differ- ence whether one believes in woman suffrage,or whether believing in it he thinks such demonstrations prop- er or improper,such treatment ofwomenisinexcusable.It is a pity the thugs who disgraced their ownwives,mothers and sisters could not receive the punishment they deserve.Some of these loud-mouthed man-nish women who are conspicuous in the suffrage movement make them- selves targets,it is true,but that doesnotexcusebrutalconductonthepart of men,and all the women in thatparadewerenotofthe.loud-mouthed militant type.The treatment of thesuffragettesinWashingtonwillhelp their cause, The inaugural address of PresidentWilson,printed in full.in The Land-mark today,is:worthy..of careful study.The man who spoke it has aseriouspurposeandifhisplansand purposes of government can prevail @ great and marked change for the ‘better can but result.All people who believe in justice and progress should uphold his hands. by which Mrs, gk van ite ey Nea R.W.Orr is.giving rially,the Charlotte Observer.says: The Observer is sure that Mrs.Orr and the Feimster school are engag-ed in a work that is destined to be patterned after. anneTAALNRL You often hear ’em talk about put- ting a man “in the President’s chair.” Well,when President Wilson was ready to go on the job bright and early Wednesday morning there wasn’t any ‘“President’s chair.”Old man Taft had a fancy for the chair he had occupied,so he had seized it and carried it away and appropriated it to his own use,without so much as saying “by your leave,”which ac- tion,it seems,is not contrary to the form of the statute,or at least no warrant has been issued for “Big Bill’So they had to fish around and hunt a chair for President Wilson and in the lumber.room or the wash house, the ‘attic,or somewhere,they found one Roosevelt had used.Somehow we don’t like it about Wilson having to use Roosevelt’s old chair.He ought to have a new one.eeTASES The Observer had hoped therewouldbeaRepublicanortwoinWil-son’s cabinet.The’first Democratic President who gives cabinet recogni- tion to Republican ability and talentwilltakealongsteptowardmaking the Democratic party the dominantpoliticalorganizationofthecountry. Charlotte Observer. The facts show otherwise.Mr. Cleveland,at the beginning of his last term,headed ‘his:cabinet .with a Republican—Mr.Gresham of Indiana. The appointment was worth nothing to the administration or the Demo- cratic party.Neither did Mr.Taft’s appointment of Democrats to cabinet positions help him.The Landmark is no hide-bound partisan and it would have thrown no rocks if Mr.Wilson had puta Republican in his cabinet. But it does not believe such an ap- pointment would have helped the ad- ministration;on the contrary it would more than likely have done harm by setting the Democratic par- tisans against the administration. ITEMS OF ALL SORTS. Although the known injuries for in- auguration day and night reached a total of about 400,few were serious and most of them were of minor na- ture. In signing the bill creating a De- partment of Labor as a cabinet posi- tion,President Taft said he did 80reluctantly;that nine cabinet posi- tions are sufficient unless there was a redistribution of work. Addressing his subordinates in the State Department,Hon.W.J.Bryan, the new Secretary of State,referred to his tenure of office as brief in such a way as to excite comment,and some of his friends think it means that he will hold office only tempora- rily. The government’s $1,000,000 claim against Chicago packers and others, \for taxes alleged to be due on color- jed oleomargarine sold as uncolored, }was compromised by Secretary Mac- |Veah Tuesday for $102,000.The com~-|promise was made,it is explained, bechuse the-government had no evi- ,dence te sustain the $1,000,000 claim, ithe $102,000 being all it could hope jto get. |In addition to the names of the cab- |inet members sent to the Senate Wed- nesday,President Wilson sent in two;other appointments—-Edgar E.Clark, |re-appointed Inter-State Commerce |Commissioner,and John H.Marble, secretary of the commission,to be a commissioner in succession to Frank- lin-K.Lane,Secretary of the Interior.|Clark was confirmed but Marble’s ap-|pointment was held over. Unless Congress interferes,the or- |ganization of the customs service will |be revolutionized,beginning July 1. |As one of his last acts,President Taft |sent a message to Congress announc- ing the redistricting of the service. |The existing 165 districts will be re- |duced to 49,formed largély along |State lines,and 116 collectors of cus- toms will be abolished,making a sav- jing of $700,000.In North Carolina|the customs offices at Elizabeth City, |New Berne,Manteo and Beaufort are ‘abolished,making a consolidation at Wilmington. The Democratic national committee was in session in Washington Wed- nesday under call of its chairman, William F.McCombs,and took cogn- izance.of the senatorial deadlocks in Illinois and New Hampshire and adopted a resolution expressing thehopethatDemocratsbeelectedto the Senate to fill the vacancies inthoseStates.The committee electedHomer§.Cummins of Connecticut vicechairman,Rolla Wells of Missouri treasurer,and voted to establish headguarters in Washington to be in charge of Thonias J.Pence.

To my mind,government is the har- ness with which a people draws itsloadofcivilization.If the harnessbeproperlyadjustedtheload,though | heavy,will be drawn with ease and| no part of the people will be galled.| The Senate is the blinders,intended to keep the people from shying at ‘maginary dangers and toppling into the ditch our system of government. So long as the.blinders serve this purpose they are a most valuable part of the harness,but if they be drawn so closely to the eyes as to pre- vent the seeing of real dangers,then they should either be spread or done away with entirely.I am one of those who think that we can so adjust our blinders as to meet new conditions and render us sanely responsive to every reasonable demand of the peo- ple without disturbing any of the checks and balances of our system of government and preserving with loy-alty and fidelity the ancient ideals of the republic. With neither right nor desire to in- fringe upon the prerogatives of the President so soon to be,I beg the ex- pression of the opinion that whatever diverse views may be held relative to the work of this body,all persons are agreed that under the constitution the Senate of the United States is singularly the guardian of the peo- ple’s honor;that more and more,‘as righteousness is exalted amongpeople,the idea is becoming more firmly fixed that it is not vast ter- ritory,great wealth nor large learn- ing which mark the real status of America;that America is to be meas- ured by the golden metewand of hon- or;and,as the idea in her formation wag the inherent right of men to rule themselves,that now she can ill afford to announce this doctrine in her own land and renounce it for an instru- ment of oppression in other lands. Unfortunately there is no -fixed standard of honor outside the dic- tionary.The gambler may hold it {Senate ideath with matehasbegun an investivlacetheresponsibilityforofprotectionforthewomen march- ers.Suit seeking to oust the Standard Oil companies of New York and NewJerseyandtheMagnoliaPetroleumComranyandCorsicanaPetroleum Company of Texas from the State of Texas and to recover penalties ag-gregating $36,175,000 from the fourcompaniesnarcedand25individual defendants,have been filed:in theTexasStatecourts.Violation ofStateanti-trust laws are alleged.

Rev.Dr.T.N.Ivey,who was re- cently treated at Long’s Sanatorium, has returned to his work as editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate. Making reference to his absence he has this to say of his stay in States- ville.; “Having gone to the North Caroli- na Conference at Fayetteville only to find that too much had been attempt- ed,1 repaired to the scene of sacri- fice—the beautiful town of Stateerville, hidden away among the hills of West- ern North Carolina,where the water is always bracing.My hospital was Long’s Sanatorium,which has _be- come so famous throughout this sec- tion of the South.It is all that mod- ern equipment,scientific maragemens and an ideal location can make it. Crowning the summit of an immense hill,it commands a view which «weeps over miles and miles of inspiring land- scapes.The controlling genius of this hospital is Dr.Henry Long, whose marvelous record as a surgeon has made Statesville almost a second Rochester and his own name familiar over a large section.Of iron nerve, bright,scientific mind and quick hand, and with an experience which has been enriched by clinics at Rochester, in Chicago,Baltimore and New York, and by a long,successful practice in his own hospital,he is an ideal sur- geon,notably in complicated cases re-quiring the highest surgical skill.It was nothing against him,in case,that he had been a pupil a quarter of a century ago.It was a kind of pleas- ure for me to reverse the situation and place myself in his harids..The result was all that could be desired and I am glad to feel that I am on the road to complete recovery.” Ball Game and Play at Troutman:Graveyard School.

Vice President.eee Cashier.Assistant Cashier 4 ~penewing.or..consery: Ch e of.Party—Evil:Ha mn With.the Good—T:Who UsedGovernmentHadForgottenthePeople—The Things to Be Cor-rected and the Method, There has been a change of govern-ment.It began two years ago,whentheHouseofRepresentativesbecameDemocraticbyadecisivemajority.Ithasnowbeencompleted.The SenateabouttoassemblewillalsobeDemo-cratic.The offices of President and Vice President have been put into thehandsoftheDemocrats.What doesthechangemean?That is the ques- tion that is uppermost in our mindstoday.That is the question I am go-ing to try to answer in order,if I may,to interpret the occasion.It means much more than the mere success of a party.The success of apartymeanslittleexceptwhenthe nation is using that party for a large‘and definite purpose.No one can mis- take the purpose for which the nationnowseekstousetheDemocraticpar-ty.It seeks to use it to interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.Some old things with which we had grown familiar,and which had begun to creep into the very’habit of our thought and our lives,have altered their aspéct as we have lat- terly looked critically upon them,withfresh,awakened eyes;have dropped their disguise and shown themselves alien and sinister.Some new things, as we look frankly upon them,will- ing to comprehend their real charac-ter,have come to assume the aspect of things long believed in and famil- iar,stuff of our own convictions.We have been refreshed by a new insight into our own life. Much Fine Gold Corroded. We see that in many things that life is very great.It is ineomparably great in its material aspects,in its body of wealth,in’the diversity and sweep of its energy,in the industries which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men and the limitless enterprise of groups of men.It is great also,very great, in its moral force.Nowhere else in the world have noble men and women exhibited in more striking forms the beauty and the energy of sympathy and helpfulness and counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong,alleviate suffering,and set the weak in the way of strength and hope.We have built up,moreover,a great system of gov- ernment,which has stood through a long age as in many respects a model for those who seek to set liberty up- on foundations that will endure against fortuitous change,against storm and accident.Our life contains every great thing,and contains it in rich abundance. But the evil has come with the good, and much fine gold has been corroded. With riches has come inexcusable waste.We have squandered a great part of what we might have used and have not stopped to conserve the ex- ceeding bounty of nature,without which our genius for enterprise would have been worthless and impotent, scorning to-be careful,shamefully prodigal as well as admirably effi- cient.We have been proud of our in- dustrial achievements,but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost,the cost of lives snuffed out,of energies overtaxed and broken,the fearful physical and spiritual cost to the men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly the years through. The groans and agony of it all had not yet reached our ears,the solemn, moving undertone of our life,coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the strug- gle had its intimate and familiar seat. With the great government went many deep secret things which we too long delayed to look into and scrutinize with candid,fearless eyes. The great government we loved has too often been made use of for pri-yate and selfish purposes and those who used it had forgotten the peo~ ple. A Vision Vouchsafed. At last a vision has been.vouch-safed us for our life as a whole.We see the bad with the good,the de- and vital.With this vision we ap- proach new affairs.Our duty is to cleanse,to reconsider,to restore,to correct the evil without impairing the good,to purify and humanize every process of our common life without weakening or sentimentaliz- ing it.There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has been “Let every man look out for himself,let every genera tion look out for itself,”while we reared giant machinery which madeitimpossiblethatanybutthosewho stood at the levers of control should have a chance to look out for them- selves.We had not forgotten our mor- als.We remembered well enough that we had set up a policy which was meant to serve the humblest as well as the most_powerful,with an eye single to the standards of justice and fair play,and remembered it withpride.But we were very heedless and in a hurry to be great. We have come now to the sober second thought.The scales of heed~lessness have fallen from our eyes.We have made up our minds to square every process of our national life again with the standards we so proud-ly set up ‘at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts.Ourworkisaworkofrestoration.

The revenue bill was recalled from the House and amended as follows: For Staté purposes,raised from 21 cents,the present levy,to 23 2-3,the 4 cents for pensions and 20 cents for schools remaining as now.This makes 2-3 in- stead of 45 cents,the levy of the acts of 1909 and 1911. The appropriation bill passed after being amended by ‘increasing the amount allowed the University for maintenance from $85,000 to $95,- 000,the amount originally allowed by the committee.The total amount car- ried by the appropriation bill is $2,497,500.Two years ago the amount was $2,270,900 and four years ago it was $1,969,300.The increase in four years is more than a half million—$528,200.

The bill to provide $26,000 annual- ly for engineering assistance to coun- ties,in road building caused con- siderable discussion and some heat- ed remarks.The amount was reduc- ed to $10,000 and with the $5,000 now appropriated $15,000 is available for Bills passed:To in-corporate the Charlotte,Denver and Wilkesboro Railroad Company;to ap- point W.A.Ingram game warden in Alexander county;to provide for working roads of Alexander county and allow a special tax.

Express Company Refuses to Deliver Liquor on Account of Local Laws and the Webb Bill. In Morganton the other day aLandmark‘man heard a good deal oftalkaboutanunexpectedconditionof affairs that had suddenly come uponthecountyofBurke.Since March8dtheexpresscompanyhasrefusedtodelivershipmentsofliquor‘in Burke county,and this is the explana-tion.In 1907 Mr.Isaac T.Avery,at thetimeBurke’s representative in the Legislature,had passed a law design-ed to ‘prohibit shipments of liquor in-to Burke county.The counties of An- son and Cherokee,High Point town-ship (including the town of High Point)in Guilford county and possi-bly other territory was included in the bill by the jrepresentatives of thecountiesnamed.The courts decidedthatMr.Avery’s law wouldn’t holdandthemeasurewasforgottenuntil the express company called off ghip- ments of “the oil of joy.” It is now claimed that the passage of the Webb act by Congress makesthisAveryactoperative,whereforeBurkeandtheotherterritorynamed are good and dry.This explanation is somewhat vague,but it is a fact that the express company will no longer deliver liquor to any peint in Burke county and the inhabitants thereof now realize the full meaning of prohibition as applied to liquor. Some of the boys who like a whet occasionally are like the Alexander county boy who found himself in the penitentiary—they are “not pleased at all;”and in the interval of mois- tening their parched throats with or- dinary water they are doubtless say- ing things about “Ike”Avery thatwouldn't look well in print.The ef- fect of course does not fall on the “morally stunted”alone.Some of those who talked loud for prohibition, especially to phohibit “old Jones,”nev- er expected the thing to go that far and they join the morally stunted intheopinionthatithasbeencarried entirely too far.However,this does not mean that there is more demand for the ardent in Burke than in theavéragecommunity.Other.localities would feel the same way if the situa-tion that has overwhelmed Burke was to come upon them. But the Burke boys are not asthosewithouthope.Nebo,a stationtothemartybeJostacrosstheBurkelineinMe.Shipments can bemadetoMcDowellanditisproba- ble that Nebo will soon me apopularshippingpomt.with some of the Burke folks,and the South Moun- tain denizens,who occasionally make a run on their own account,may also be able to relieve the local situation.

The bill was amended and passed and then sent by the special mes- senger to House.When it reached the House Representative Stewart, thoroughly angered and indignant at the action of the Senate in not re- turning the bill before action was taken,asked that,without reference to the merits of the amendment,the House do not concur in the amend- ment as a manifestation of resent- ment at the course of the Senate in ignoring a unanimous request of the House.He declared that the Sen-ators who said on the floor of that body that lobbyists had inspired ‘the recall of the bill told what was not the truth,and that he did not be- lieve that there had ever occurred in the history of a North Carolina Legis- lature such an instance of rank dis- courtesy toward a House by the Sen-ate branch of the Assembly.

The shipment of game from west- erm Chatham during the season that closed March let was far short of theshipmentsoflastyear,We have compiled the figures from the books of the various produce dealets and find the rabbit shipments to be not quite half and .the.bird shipments not quite a third as many as lastyear. The number shipped last year from Siler City,the banner shipping point for game ir the world,was 26,- 060 rabbits and 15,003 quail.And the number shipped from the adjoining stations of Bennett,Bonlee,Bear Creek and Goldston amounted to 19,- 735 rabbits and 12,035 quail,which added to the number from Siler City made a grand total for western Chat- ham of 45,795 rabbits end 27,088quail! The shipments from Siler City for this _year-—season 1912-'13-—were: rabbits 13,979,quail 5,371.From Ben- nett,Bonlee and Bear Creek:rabbits 7,422,quail 2,403;and these added to the number from Siler City makes a grand total for western Chatham of 21,401 rabbits and 8,774 quail! The average price paid for rabbits the season just closed was nine cents, and for quail 12 cents.So it is seen from this that $3,000 was turned loose here and vicinity for game alone.But though the shipments of rab- son,the shipments ofquail will cease,for a bill is now being passed bytheLegislatureprohibitingthesaleofquailinChatham,Randolph andGuilfordfortwoyears.cecincnetneceianenaeomenicetanetaiemnaenHolinessFakirsJailedtoEcape Mob.

Negro Thought New President Made\Confederate Money Good. [Goldsboro Special,6th,to RaleighNewsandObserver. |.Some of the negroes of Goldsboro got the idea that as President Wilsen| and a Democratic administration now have charge of affairs at Washington,paper money issued by the Confeder- ate government was good and could be spent.Some .time yesterday| Will Dove,a negro,approached Lon-|nie White,who works as a bell boy! for the Kennon hotel,on the street and asked him to change ten dollars |for him,which Lonnie did,and Dovewentoffwiththechange.Later inthedayLonnietriedtousethenote given him at one of the stores andwastoldbytheclerkthatitwas worthless,as it was a Confederate note.He at once hunted up Dove and demanded his money back.Dove refused,claiming that he was gettingthechangeforanegrowoman,and |that she had the money.Lonnie call-jed @ policeman and had Dove arrest-jed,and the policeman turned his |prisoner over to Deputy Marshall |Smith,who carried the negro before United States Commissioner Peter-son for trial.Dove produced the wo- man that he elaimed he.got the |change for as a witness,and she stat- jed that she found the money \and thought it was now good,as Mr.Wil- son was President,but when inform- ed by the commissioner that the mon- ey was worthless,she produced thetendollarsinchangethathadbeengivenherandofferedtoreturnit.The commissioner dismissed the caseagainsttheDovenegro,but he andthewomanarestillpuzzledtoknowwhyitisthatifaSouthernmanis |President the old money of the Southisnot Monroe Kin to the Government,Monroe Enquirer..

TUESDAY,---March 11,1913, GOOD FOR GRIER AND HALL. Messrs.Grier and Hall of Iredell were two of the 17 members of the House of the Legislature who voted for the bill to reassess property and The Landmark has pleasure in com- mending them for standing up for the right.Everybody who knows any- thing about it knows that the assess- ment of property for taxation is no- toriously unfair.The books will show that the more valuable the property the less the assessment for taxation in proportion to value.The assess- ment on the less valuabie property often runs up to 75 and 90 per cent of its full value and sometimes to full value,while the more valuable runs from 15 to 50 per cent.In oth- er words,wealth in North Carolina does not begin to bear its just pro- portion of taxes.Not only are the assessments of real property propor” tionately lower,but hundreds of thousands of dollars’worth of person- al property does\not get on the tax books at all.The tax-dodgers did not want a reassessment and they ingeniously alarm thése who would be benefited by it but don’t know it. This alarm frightened the politicians and fear of a revolt caused members of the Legislature wo vote against a reassessment,and so this condition of injustice goes on while the Legisla- ture issues bonds to fill an empty treasury. Woodrow Wilson remarked recent- ly that “the rarest thing in public life is courage.”It’s a pity public men do not have the courage to do right and risk the consequences.The cry that “it will hurt the party”has kill- ed many a meritorious and just meas- ure.A prominent public man,re- marking in Raleigh recently about the failure of our State financial policy, said that if a reform is not effected the party will deserve defeat for in- competency.Failure to do what is right for fear the people will vote against the party may result,some of these days,in tne people voting against the party for that very fail- ure.That is to say,the favor of the people may be lost by the very meth-ods through which it is sought to hold it. The refusal of the express com- panies to deliver liquor in certain counties in North Carolina and in South Carolina is based on this point: The Webb act passed by Congress makes all inter-State shipments of liquor subject to State and local regulations.Some years ago a law was passed to prohibit the shipment of liquor into Burke and other coun- ties.It was found non-effective then but since the Webb act subjects inter- State shipments to local regulations, the law which failed is now in full force and effective.By this token it will also be observed that a State Legislature can pass an act prohib- iting the shipment of liquor into the State or into any county or locality in the State,for any purpose whatso- ever.If the Webb act stands the tést of tbe aive usprohibitionright. Gov.Craig will have the appoint- ment of a Superior Court judge and solicitor for the district composed of Guilford,Davidson and Stokes. Friends of ex-Judge Shaw of Greens- boro will present hrs name for the' judgeship and Gov.Craig will do the State a distinct service if he returns Judge Shaw to the bench.His re- tirement from that position,in which he rendered signal service,was a loss to the State.-The cause of right and justice and law enforcement.will be promoted by his return to a position he honored and adorned.eee Anent the comparison of personal resemblance between Vice PresidentMarshallandtheeditorofthispaper, made by the Salisbury Post,Col.L.B.Bristol of Statesvilld,who has+.Jooked upon the countenance of theVicePresident,is willing to testifythat’The Landmark editor has beenslandered.In the kindness of hisheartCol.Bristol will make affidavitthattheeditorisabetterlookingmanthantheVicePresident.Fact is,theeditorhasallalongnadasneakingnotionthatsuchwasthecasebuthe_was too modest to say so.

The fees fixed by the new.act willbeasourceof“no little revenue fortheuseofthevariouscountiesandatthepresentrateofincreaseintheuseofmotorvehicles,should within a few years provide an amount suf- ficient to aid materially in the upkeepoftheroads.The use of this moneyislefttothediscretionofthecoun-ty authorities.Under the old law $3fromeachregistrationisreturnedto the county,which $3 is all that thecountygetsfromonemachine,as the law does not require that the renew-al fee,or any part of it,be turned back to the county.Under the newlawtheregistrationfeesarecollect- ed each year and a renewal fee is provided for.The fees of $5,$7.50and$10 will be divided between the county and State,the latter getting20percentandthecounty80per cent. The old law does not provide for a dealer’s license and to comply withthelawthedealerhadtoregistereachmachinehandledandgothrough the process of transferring each time a machine was disposed of.The new law provides for a dealer’s license .of$10 to be applied in the same manner as the registration fees,and authoriz- es-him to use the number assigned him on all machines used for demon- stration purposes only. Under the old)law a non-resident owner was exempted “while passing through the State.”The new law au-thorizes a non-resident who is prop- erly registered in his home State 60 days’exemption.

The right to sue for damages on ac- count of negligence of operator of a motor vehicle,in case of accident to persons or property,is provided in the new law.It is also made unlaw- ful for any person to throw glass or other cutting substances of any pub- lic road. It is made the special duty of all officers to aid in the enforcement of the law.The violation of the law is declared to be a misdemeanor,pun- ishable by fine or imprisonment.,Under the present law appragi- mately 6,000 motor vehicles are reg- istered.These should average 30 horse power to the car,which will furnish a revenue of from $40,000 to $50,000 a year.It is estimated that not less than 3,000 machines will be registered in the State in the next year.There shouldbe in use by July Ist,1914,approximately 10,000 ma- chines,which number will continue to grow proportionately until the revenue derived under this act will be a decided factor in aiding the coun- ties in road improvement. What the Anti-Primary Argument Means. State Journal. It is a difficult task to frame an argument against a legalized primary for the whole’State,and yet some very able men have undertaken to do so.It is significant thet the argu- ments which Democrats undertake to make against it are usually made pri- vately,or in committee room,or pos- #ibly in the legislative halls.It would be exteedingly embarz..,ta pre- sent these arguments in a public ad- dress before the people,because in their last analysis they must mean that somebody.can do the thing for the voter better than he can do it for himself;that while the plain citizen can vote all right after the candidatesarepickedout,he is incompetent tosaywhatmannerofmanshouldbe- come a candidate. It would be particularly embarrass- ing for a Democrat to make this argu-mént publicly,because his party is grounded upon the theory that the plain average man has not only the desire but the ability to exercise the elective franchise in all of its phases. It is probable that tne great majority of the dominant party in this Statenowoperatesundersomeformoflo-cal primary law.To tell these menthattheyarecapableofselecting their local or county candidates but cannot be trusted to name candidates for district or State offices,would be little short of an insult to their in- telligence. When a man makes the argument that such a law would hurt the Dem-ocratic party,especially when theproposedlawwouldapplytoallpar-ties,he should look in a mirror to seeifheisnotsmiling.That people who are charged with the solemn duty of government should resent an efforttomakeiteasierforthemtoexpress their will,is beyond comprehension.Se An Unnecessary Precaution.

TUESDAY,- --March 11,1918. State Department May Mean Muchor.Nothing. Here is what Secretary of StateBryansaidwhenhewasintroducedtotheassistantsecretariesandheadsofthevariousdepartmentsoffheStateDepartment: “I am not prepared to discuss ten-ure in office.My own tenure is,as I was about to say,brief,but my tenurehasnotevenbegun.I am sure your tenure is,therefore,not more uncer-tain than mine. “T have not had time to learn from the President the general policy that will be impressed on the various de-partments.But it is not necessary for us to discuss the length of serv.ice.It is sufficient -at this time tomakeeachother’s acquaintance and I hope that when the time comes toreassembleyou.to introdyce-you to my successor I can look back upon asdelightful,associations as the retiringSecretarydoes.” This attracted attention and has puzzled many folks as to its meaning,Some think it an intimation that Mr, Bryan will hold his job for a shorttime.Others think differently.Itcanbeconstruedtomeanmuchor nothing,as you look at it.The Land-mark thinks it means little if any- thing.The Washington Times inter-prets it as a warning to the Republi- can subordinates that they will havetogo.Says the Times: “Secretary of State Bryan.started his administration by virtually warn- ing the Republican officers of his de-partment that they stood in danger of a clean sweep.He told them,almost in so many words,that his tenure of office was not more than four years and that he saw no reason why theirs should be longer.No other meaning can be gathered,or will be gathered, by the long-faced clerks who heard him. “The official staff which heard this speech left the Secretary’s presence with drooping jaws.Mr.Bryan later said in reference to quite another matter that unfounded assumptions were sometimes drawn from plain statements,but it is a dead certainty that the officials of the staff drew from that speech of his the plain in- ference that he intended to replace them,or as many of them as he could, with Democrats,and from what has been heard since from Mr.Bryan’s friends,they seem to be right. “It was noticeable that this warn- ing of the Secretary’s was delivered to the Republican appointees who have come in during the last three ad- ministrations.The serviceable andinvaluablemenwhoreallykeepthe State Department going,no matter who may be Secretary,were conspicu- ously absent.The Secretary’s warn- ing was delivered only to the men who can be replaced,the men who gottheirjobsbecauseaRepublicanad- ministration wanted to give them something.” New Tuberculosis Treatment in New York. The first demonstration in Ameri¢a of Dr.F.F.Friedmann’s treatment, which the visiting Berlin physician declares is a cure for tuberculosis, was given by Doctor Friedmann him- self in New York Thursday,in the presence of physicians representing the city,the State and the staffs of hospitals of several cities. Three patients,two men and # woman,were selected by Doctor Friedmann from 50 tuberculosis suf- ferers gathered from all parts of the city,all hopeful that they would re- ceive treatment.The woman has been ill three years.Her’s is a chronic case of the disease at the knee and was the most serious ofthethreechosen.The two men havetuberculosisofthelungs.Their cases are not beyond the incipient stage, according to authorities of the Peo- ple’s hospital,the institution where the demonstration was given.Each of the men patients has been show- ing improvement and gaining weight since beginning,several months ago,the best recognized try®eblssia tron+ ment of the day,it was stated. Each of the three who were treat- ed_received two injections,one in a muscle and one in a vein.DoctorFriedmannexplainedtothoseabout him that the first reaction might be expected to be observed after sevendays.The patients went to their homes with instructions to return in three weeks.Doctor Friedmann prom- ised them treatment again at that time. Meanwhile the medical board at the hospital will have the three under con- stant observation and as soon as re- sults are observable,a statement willbeissued. An Early Advocate of Broad Tires.

A rather nervy burglar visited asectionofsouthwestStatesvilleMon-day night and secured a smal!amount of booty without being discovered. Four houses were visited and accord- ing to the tracks followed by the.of- ficers Tuesday rhorning the night prowler first went to the home of Mr. John Plyler,on Eighth street.At Mr.Plyler’s a window was raised ‘and a coat which was hanging within wastaken.The coat pockets contained a dollar in money,a watch,a knife and some tobacco,and when the gar- ment was found on Drake street Tues- day these articles had been removed. From Mr.Plyler’s the burglar went to the home of Mr.Burt.Cook,on Seventh street,removed a window glass,entered the house and ransack-ed three rooms.Members of the Cook family were asteep in one of the rooms visited,but they,knew nothing of the burglar’s visit until they awoke at the usual time and found bureau drawers standing open and the room in general disorder.The only things missed from the house were a few small pieces of jewelry and an axe. The next house visited was that of Mr.Will Morgan ane here the burg- lar raised a window and reaching in- side the room removed a pocketknife from a pair of pants.He then went to the home of a Mr.White,in the same neighborhood,and secured an umbrella which had been left on the front porch. The burglar evidently made his round after the rain Monday night. His tracks ‘in the soft ground and mud were easily followed from house to house in the neighborhood where he operated,but were lost after he left that community,So far the of- ficers have no clue to his identity. The axe taken from Mr.Cook’s waslaterfoundbyacoloredboyina ditch south of town. THE PASSION.WEEK SERVICES. Programme For the Service at St. John’s Lutheran Church,Begin- ning Sunday—Church News.

At the meeting of the board*of al- dermen Monday nignt a petition was presented,signed by the majority of the property owners in that portion of Statesville south of the Western railroad,asking that the sidewalks of the Boulevard and adjacent streets be graded and made of sand-clay in- stead of laid in concrete,as had been: planned.The matter was discussed at length and it was finally decided to grant the request.The street com-mittee was instructed to put a force on the job at once. The committee which has had the fire house proposition in hand wascontinuedwithinstructionstomake more thorough investigation with a view of determining whether it would be best for the city to rebuild-on:the site of the portion of the house torn away or purchase additional property and build a larger building to take care of all the offices of the munici- pality along with the fre department.It is the opinion of some of the alder- men that inasmucr as some kind of building must be erected it would be best to build for the future by pur- chasing property adjoining the old fire station property anderectinga city hall or administration building that will be in keeping with the town's prog- ress.The committee will make a full report at the next meeting of the board,when it #s expected that final action will be ¢eaken. The promiscuous scattering of bills and circulars that are of an ob- jectionable nature was discussed by the board and the matter was referred to the city attorney with instructions that he ascertain whether certain classes of bill posting and distributing may be prohibited Messrs.Sig.and Herman Wallace asked for a street through their prop- erty in east Statesville and the mat- ter was referred to the street com- mittee.

The old McKee homestead,about*%northeast of Statesv'Ve, owned ‘by Mr.John M.Sharpe,-was gutted by fire about midnight “Tues- day night.The house,which is ofWiley Ladd and family and the roof was falling in when they were awakened. Notwithstanding they managed to save most of their personal effects. The damage to the building is esti- mated at $1,200 and there was no.in- surance.The origin of the fire is un- known. In speaking of the fire Mrs.Ladd said that when she awoke and saw everything so bright—outside —she thought the end of time was at hand,but on finding that it was only thehouseafireshe“felt very much re- lieved.” The house was built by Mr.Wm. McKee,grandfather of Mrs.S.A. Sharpe of Statesville,and was one of the oldest in the county,the date on the chimney being 1818:The brick with which it was constructed were “tromped with oxen”and made by hand.

Raleigh Dispatch to Charlotte Ob- server.i The General Assembly just adjourn- ed passed and ratified 1,527 acts and 60 resolutions,compared with 1,460 acts and 55 resolutions two years ago.Overshadowing all other “questions in importance this session was the matter of finance,the Législature having to face the deficit ia the treas- ury of approximately $800,000.This was met by an increase in the tax levy from $1.29 to $1.48 on the poll and from 45 to 47 2-3 cents on the $100 property,by raising the taxon corporations from the-old graduatedplanto-one-twenty-fifth of one per eerit on the capital stock,increasingincomeandinheritancetaxesanden-acting more stringent machinery for their collection and putting on au- tomobile manufacturers a license tax of $500, The recommendation of the Govern- or and the finance committee for a reassessment of proper-y and a special State tax commission was dis- regarded.A rather stringent meas- ure enacted in this connection was one directing sheriffs to collect un- paid privilege and license taxes for four years back. Among the more progressive acts was one providing for a six-months public school.term in all counties;a compulsory sehoo!attendance law,op- tional,however,with the various counties;an act allowing women to serve on school committees,boards of trustees of educational institutions and textbook commissions. A special commission is conferring with railroad officials as to discrimina- tions in freight rates against North Carolina towns and is expected to ef- fect concessions solving to a consider- able extent this long-vexing problem. The question as to amending the constitution was settled by a resolu- tion calling for an extra session of the Legislature and the appointment by the Governor of a spectal commission to consider all proposed amendments and report'to the extra session. The number of Superior Court judges and judicial districts was in-creased from 16 to 20 and the State redistricted.A new automobile lawimposesonowners«graduated an-nual license tax from $5 to $15 in place of the flat tax of$5 with $1renewalfee. Among notable bills killed were the measure for legalized State-wide primaries;a bill calling for a series of State bond issues in aid of the counties in road construction,which would have meant the.issuance -of $24,600,900 in State bonds in 4]years, with a provision for county bonds to be taken as security at a higherrateofinterest;a bill fixing the sala-" ries of solicitors and a bill providing for a uniform plan of examination and certification of public school teachers. A State bond issue of $1,142,500 was ordered for the purpose of meet- ing the deficit and permanent im- provements at State institutions. Great Storm Damage Yesterday.

The House refused Monday to con- cur in the Senate amendment to the revenue bill.Williams of Buncombe charged that the Senate amendment had retained the high tax on the lit- tle men and cut the franchise tax on corporations.Differences.were re-ferred to a conference committee. Bills passed:To appropriate $10,- 000 for the State school for the feeble- minded at Kinston;to restore to theIndiansofRobesoncounty(now call- ed.Croatans)their ancient name of Cherokees;to require railroads toprovide‘shelter for employes at di- vision points;to provide for the elec-tion of United States Senators under certain conditions;to-allow the labor- ers (2?)employed by the Legislature a bonus of $10 each (in addition tothe$3.50 per day)and railroad fare; to make uniform the crime of larceny. The bill to make uniform bills of lading failed to pass the Senate,16 to 21.A substitute bill allowing wo- men to serve on school committeesandastrusteesofeducationalinsti- tutions but not on State or countyschoolboards,‘precipitated some dis- cussion and was passed,27 to 18.

At the night session of the House the machinery bill was presented,its principal new feature being the pro- posed State tax commission to super- sede the corporation commission in that capacity.Chairman Williams de-clared that not less than $200,000 was jlost during the past year to the State through failure to collect schedules B and ©taxes,the inheritance tax and others.The separate commission and the centering of duties and responsi- bilities in it,he believed,would’be a good investment.Mr.Bowie esti- mated that the separate commission would cost $20,000.He said thataekhl,af Annee nt Iemaakad nxé comes a8 no use for the.separate commission for the next two years. Mr.Page advocated the separate com- mission.Mr.Justice gave notice of his proposed amendment for one com- missioner to be appointed to act with the chairman of the corporation com- mission and the clerk to the corpora- tion commission.This matter was left open after the definite vote jagainst th®full separate commission by 50 to 84. While in committee of the whole trying to adjust the revenue bill,Mr. Justice charged that reassessment was receded from because the mem- bers did not have the courage to vote for it and face their constituents back home,and that the finance committee backed down under pressure from the corporation interests.Chairman Williams denied the charges andpointedoutthatwhateverconcessionshadbeenmadetocorporationshad been made on the floors of the two houses and not in committee.Mr.Justice passed a sharp criticism on members of the corporation commis- sion for being in the lobbies working against any change in the present law constituting the commissioners the State tax commissioners. The members ofthe constitutional amendment commission,which will consider amendments to the consti-tution and report to a special meeting of the General Assembly,were named Tuesday—five by the Governor,five by the Senate and eight by the House.

DANGEROUS DANDRUFF. Will Make America a Baldheaded Nation if Not Checked. M.Pasteur,the great French Physi- cian of Paris,once said:“I believe we shall one day rid the world of all dis- eases caused by germs.” Dandruff is caused by germs,a fact accepted by all physicians. Dandruff is the root of all hair evils. If it were not for the little destruc- tive germs working ‘with a persistency worthy of a better cause,there would be no baldness.

Editor Sharpe of the Lumberton Robesonian consumed near a column ”of his paper this week explaining how he had written the wrong name for a-youngster when he knew.better, “and judging from the way he wrote he was glad to get off with the column explanation.His only excuse was that Homer sometimes nods,although he admitted,“coming down to brass tacks,”that he couldn't say of his own knowledge that Homer ever nod- ded.After making all that explana- tion,however,the Robesonian man undertook to quote,on another page, a line from Kipling and this is the way he got it: “The shouting and the tumult dies.” Which was evidence that Homer was nodding some more,or evidence that the Webb law hasn't stopped shipments into.Robeson county.If ‘The Landmark’s imemory isn’t at fault Kipling wrote it— “The tumult and the shouting dics.”AE Senator Cook of Cabarrus and Rep- *yesentative Williams of Buncombe, chairmen respectively of the finance committees of the different branches of the Legislature,labored earnestly to effect a reform in the State’s tax- ing system.That they failed was not their fault.They earnestly en-< deavored to formulate and have adopted a plan to equalize the bur- den of taxation and make all prop- erty bear its just share.‘They were overslaughed by the standpatters and the folks who always cry out that any change will “burt the party.” It is admitted—or at least it cannot be successfully denied—that our *present system is ipequitable and un- just;that by its workings wealth escapes its just proportion of taxa- tion and poverty bears more than its share.That being so—and the rec- ords show it—the question one simply of right and wrong and if doing right “hurts the party”then the party would deserve to get hurt.The work of Messrs.Cook and Williams will,let us hope,bear fruit some day, for if the small pryvperty owners of the State ever understand how they are discriminated against,woe be- tide the men responsible for it. ————————————————— The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer stated a few days ago that Senators Simmons and Overman had formed a combine with Senators from other Southern States whose interests are similar to those of North Carolina,with a view to tak- ing carg of the interests of their re- spective States when the tariff bill is framed;that similar combinations were being made by Western Senators and that members of the House would make combinations for the same purpose.In a signed statement Senators Simmons and Overman say the report is-without foundation and that they have no knowledge of any such purpose.The Landmark is glad to hear it.The persistence in tak- ing care of special interests,regard- less of the general interests,is the chief trouble in governmental affairs. A\\interests should have as fair and equitabl;treatment’as is possible in framing a general tariff bill,but if each Senator or member is to de- mand something special,it is easy to foresee the result. is The bill of Mr.Brawley of Dur- ham (Mr.Brawley is an Iredell man, by the way),to authorize county commissioners to make arrangements with agencies or persons who would undertake the work,to locate and report property not on the tax bogks, such persons to receive a per cent- age of taxes collected as compensa- tion,had merit and The:Landmark regrets it was not passed.The tax- dodger is always up and dressed and any scheme that will bring him to taw deserves consideration,We have no doubt that an individual who would make it his business to look into the matter,could put on the books many thousands of dollars of untaxed prop- erty in every county in the State— property that would reach an enor- mous aggregate in the whole State. And why should this not be done? Does the tax-dodger deserve consid- eration?The cry raised in the Leg- islature that the plan would put to _work in the State a lot of “sharpers and shysters”to meddle with the @ffairs of the people is an echo from the tax-dodgers.Why should not the affairs of the tax-dodger be med- dled with?He is disnonest;he is a perjurer;he shirks nis just share.of the public burdens and thus imposes additional burdens on his neighbors. The tax-dodger may sit in the seats of the mighty and in the amen cor- “ner in the churches,but he is a bad citizen and deserves no consideration. ‘Twell earned rést.~ The laborers who labored so hard} j pra ter at $3.50per day,and who received a end”of the”session;ean now=take=2 Of course if the district is arranged go as to leave Mr.Hammer in the Rowan man cannot come in for ap- intment as solicitor.—Salisbury ‘ost.

The Senator (Tillman)from South Carolina was not entirely pleased with the ravenous appetite of the office- seeking element in the triumphant Democracy.The Senator said the situation reminded him of a Biblical quotation. “T have forgotten whether I read it in Jeremiah,Isaiah or in the Psalms,”said Mr.Tillman.“It fits the case exactly and is about as follows: “*The wild asses of the desert are athirst and hungry.They have brok- en into the green corn.’* Senator Tillman said there was something more in the quotation about trampling the corn down,but that he thought it would be well to leave that part out. “What will be the result?”the Sen- ator was asked. “God alone knows,”was his reply, “but I have strong faith that we have a herdsman in the White House whowillkeepthewildbeastsfromdoing any damage.” (Senator Tillman shouldn't be too hard on the officeseekers.He has been something of an officeseeker him- self.—_The Landmark.)

By order of Solicitor Reynolds, Wes.Brewer,alias John Huff,a negro der of Patrolman E.C.McConnell in July,1911,has been released,the case having been nol prossed with leave. Solicitor Reynolds took the step be- cause there is another negro in jail charged with the crime and there are witnesses who declare that each negro is the man wanted.*Both had been tried for the offense and each hearing resulting in mistrial.It is possible that the other negro John Huff will be released very soon,as the solicitor told the sheriff that he would give the authorities 20 days in which to produce evidence on which he would feel justified in holding Huff.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER. Three of the University Hazers,Con-victed of a Felony,Get a NominalSentence—One Acquitted. After three hours’deliberation,‘ajuryinQrangecountySuperiorCourt Saturday returned a verdict of guiltyinthecaseofRalphW.Oldham of Raleigh,William L.Merriman of Wil- mington,and Aubrey C.Hatch of Mount Olive,who were indicted for manslaughter in connection with the death of young William Rand atChapelHilllastfall.The defend- ants,students at the University,were hazing young Rand and had himstandingontopofabarrel.He fell off the barrel accidentally,or it was kicked from under him,the glass of’a broken bottle pierced his neck.and he died in a short time.Four students were arrested and indicted for man- slaughter but one—stryon of Wil- mington—was ordered discharged be- fore the case went to the jury,there being no evidence to show that he was present. Soon after the verdict was returned Judge Peebles passea--sentence,‘giv- ing the defendants the minimum un- der the law.The sentence was in these terms:“That each of the defendants shall be imprisoned in the.county jail of Orange for four months,beginning the 8th day of Apr,1913.In the meantime each defendant shall give a bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance before the sheriff of Orange county,at Hillsboro,to obey the order of the county commission- ers,who shall,in their discretion, hire them out to whomsoever they please in this State.The defendants are to be taxed with the costs of this action.” The authority to hire out the de- fendants saved them from jail,as their parents made arrangements tohirethemonthespot,paying $175 each for their services for four months.On behalf of the parents of the young mer Mr.V.S.Bryant of Durham,oneoftheir counsel,thank- ed the judge for the light sentence. Judge Peebles replied in these words: “I hope this will be the last case of hazing in any college or -university in North Carolina.It is incompre- hensible to me that boys brought up as those boys should go to a’poor freshman’s room and take him out of his room,pour blacking on him andhavefunathisexpense.I am glad of an opportunity to show theseyoungmenthatIhavenoinclination to be severe.I only want to make an example of this case.I understand that another boy has been blacked at the University ¢ince this case began.If I had the boys that did that here I certainly would put them on the roads.” The conyiction carries with it a loss of citizenship but this can be re- stored either by a pardon from thé Governor or through application to the courts.It is sarf that a move- ment was at once begun to ask the Governor for a pardon. The attorneys for the defence offer- ed no testimony but to the jury based their plea for acquittal on the ground that hazing had been common in schools and colleges for generations and that this was the first case brought into the courts of this State; that the defendants were simply fgl- lowing a custom and had no intention of killing young Rand or doing him serious hurt. In charging the jury Judge Peebles called attention to the fact that whethér young Rand fell off the bar- rel during the hazing and was killed, or the barrel was kicked-over,was not a «atter for consideration,“Ifthethreemenunderindictment, masked and with sticks in hand,as produced in the State’s testimony, entered the room of Rand and laid hands on him,and against his will carried him to the athletic field,then it is the dyty of the jury to find a verdict of guilty,”said the court.The fact that hazing had been practicedattheUniversityforahundredyears and that this was the first case to be tried in court,it was pointed out, did not abrogate or change the laws of the State and should not affect the jurors in reaching their verdict. Houses Struck By Lightning. Daring the storm late Thursday night the home of Mr.Jas.Gray,on Park street,was struck and fired by lightning.When he heard the terrific crash,which came pout 11 0’clock, Mr.Gray felt sure that his home had been struck and immediately jumped from his bed to make investigation, Going across the hall he entered theroomontheoppositesideanddiscov- ered a blaze in the wall.A bucketofwaterquenchedthefireandfurther investigation revealed that a portion of the weatherboarding of the house had been knocked off and a small hole made in the ceiling of the room where the fire was found.The damage,how- ever,was not great.Mr.and Mrs. Gray were slightly shocked and theirlittledaughterwasshockedtosuch an extent that she was sick for two days following. The home of Mr.J.W.Johnson, near Troutman,was struck by light- ning between 10 and 11 o’clock Thurs-day night.The bolt played all overonesideofthehouse,tearing a num-ber of holeg’in the weatherboarding,but the occupants did not feel theshock.Mr.Johnson says $5 will cov- er the damage.

WHAT CAUSED THE BIG NOISE? A Mysterious Explosion Thursday Evening—Sounded Like a Blast of Dynamite. “What was that explosion?”is a question not yet satisfactorily an- swered. The explosion,or whatever it was,occurred about 7:20 o’clock Thursday night,just before the beginning of the rain storm which continued through the night,and was heard throughoutStatesvilleandvicinityandhysomequiteadistanceaway.So terrific was it in force that buildings inStatesvillewerejarredandthewholeatmospherequivered.While most people believe that the elements are responsible,there are others who con- tend the noise came from the ex- plosion of dynamite or other powerful explosives.The fact that the direc-tion of the noise was hard to locate is evidence that it came from some unusual source,probably a freak of nature in the way of a lightning bolt or the falling and bursting of a me- teor. Supt.F,T.Meacham,of the State Farm,said he had gone out to shut off the windmill at the Farm,two miles west of Statesville,and was facing the east when the explosion or great noise was heard.Accompanying the noise,he says,was a great flash of light in the northeast and while it did not appear as lightning usually does he decided the flash was lightning and the noise and vibration in.the at- mosphere the result of an unusual peal of thunder. Mr.J.D.Troutman says he and Mrs.Troutman were at their home in southwest Statesville looking at the clouds when a ball of fire suddenly ap- peared in the east,accompanied by the great noise;-and a colored man who was going along south Center street at the time also avowed that a great ball of fire shot across the heavens from east to west at the time of the noise. Policeman Chas.Fulp was near the railway station at the time and he says that accompanying the shock a flash of fire appeared to the north- east of the station.de ran in that direction expecting to find some one setting off dynamite,but his questions to residents of that section were met with similar questions,they having been unable to locate the noise.Mr.J.A.Wyrick,foreman of the road force camped on the Wilkesboro road in north Iredell,says he and others at the camp heard the noise so distinctly that at first some feared the dynamite supply of the camp had exploded,but it was finally decided that the noise came from an explosion to the northeast.A good many peo- ple attribute the noise to an explos- ion of dynamite at one of the road camps or the Statesville Air Line railroad camp,but the dynamite of all these was found in good condition. Different people naturally have dif- ferent ideas as to what the noise was and from which direction it came,but the mystery is really still without satisfactory solution.To most of those in the business section at the time the noise appeared to have come from east Statesville,but to those in east Statesville it came from someotherdirection: Rev.Dr.R.G.Pearson Dead. Rev.Dr.R.G.Pearson,in former years known throughout all this part of the country as an evangelist,died Saturday morning at his homie at Columbia,S.C.He had been ill for amonthand.héart trouble was the cause of death.For two years’DrPearsonhadveenprofessor,of Eng- fish Bible and,pastoral theology in the Presbyterian Theoligical Semi- nary in Columbia.He was a native of Starkville,Miss.,and his rertains were sent there for burial. Dr.Pearson was formerly a minis- ter of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.About 25 years ago he was engaged in evangelistic work and held meetings at many towns in this State, Statesville among others.His States- ville meeting was held in the base- ment of what was then known as the Cash warehouse,the building now occupied by the —Statesville Steam Laundry,which was about the largest auditorium in the town at the time Dr.Pearson was not an evangelistofthesensationaltypeandgoodre- sults followed his meetings,which were largely attended everywhere.

Dr.Hennessee was brought to the Sanatorium by Dr.Taylor of Morgan-ton,whose patient he is.The bullet in his right leg seéms to be giving him some trouble,having caused a numbness on that side,and it will be located and removed.

Armfield-Gough Mixup Yesterday~—Mayor’s Big Court Sunday Morn- ing—Many Cases in Court. Mr,D,F.Gough of Lynchburg, formerly a resident of Statesville,and Mr.Frank Armfield engaged in a fist fight in the store of the Poston-Was- son Co.yesterday afternoon,and both apparently fared rather badly.Both combatants submitted in the mayor’scourtshortlyaftertheaffrayand were taxed with half the costs each. About two years ago Mr.Gough, who had an account at the Commer- cial National Bank,where Mr.Arm-field is employed,made an overdraft. When writtenaboutthematter he de- nied the overdraft and reflected on Mr.Armfield.The latter saw him yesterday for the first time since the letter which contained the reflection was written,and they went together.Immediately after the difficulty Cashier Ausley,of the Commercial National,began a civil action against Mr.Gough for the amount of theoverdraftandMr.Gough paid it. Messrs,L.B.Bristol and Isidore Wallace were before the mayor Satur- day to answer for a little difficulty. It was found that no blows had veen struck and judgment was suspended. The trouble was the result of a differ- ence about a business transaction. Jake Feimster,one of Statesville’s “sporty”colored citizens,was arrest- ed Friday and given trial before the mayor for retailing.Two witnesses swore they had secured booze from Feimster.Bond for his appearance at Superior Court was fixed at $200 and was given. Mayor Caldwell had considerable court Sunday morning.Mr.B.P. Young was arraigned on a charge of retailing and gave $200 bond for his appearance at Superior Court;Mar- shall Poole,a saw mill man who lives east of town,was fined $5 and costs for being drunk on the streets Satur-day night;Marshall Hudson,colored,paid $12.65 for disorderly conduct on the Boulevard while under the influ- ence of booze and Mike and Walter Williams,colored,were required to give bond for their appearance at Superior Court to answer a charge of larceny.

This report from Glasgow,Scot- land,shows where a lot of rowdy stu- dents got what was coming to them one time: Students of Glasgow University and 300 stewards,including 50 dock laborers,came to grips at a suffra- gette meeting in St.Andrew’s hall to- night.The students fared badly. Many of them were beaten,scores were ejected and the others sat throtghout the remainder of the meeting in silence. Mrs.Emmeline Pankhurst,the suf- fragette leader,it was announced ear- ly in the day,would address the suf- fragettes.A large body of students from the University came to.St.An- drew’s hall for the expres purpose of breaking up the meeting.They got more than they bargained for.When Miss Janie Allen was_introducing Mrs.Pankhurst the students started an uproar.Immediately the detach- ment of stewards and dock laborers swooped down upon them.A free fizht followed.The organist started playing in an endeavor to drown the uproar but without success.After a fierce engagement the stewards drag- ged or carried not less than 50 stu- dents in the streets.Those left be- hind did not renew the fighting.One| student whose head was severely cut received surgical attention while many others received black eyes, bruised faces and torn clothing. Glory be!and may all rowdies re- ceive the same and more everywhere.LR The Landmark believes inthe civil service,properly administered, jn no branch of the government serv- ice is it more important than in the postal service.This paper believes and that fourth class postmasters should| be under the civil service and it en- dorses Postmaster General Burleson’s plan to make the merit test apply.to all.The orders of the Taft and Roosevelt administrations placing these officials under civil service re- tained in the service all then on the job,regardless of capacity or charac- ter.Mr.Burleson proposes for those now in to take chances with all others on the fair.The advantage of experience will be with those now inthe serv- ice,but the new order will give op- portunity to weed out the incompe- tents and will give all applicants an} equal showing.Let merit be the test in all cases.The same rule should apply to assistant postmasters in presidential offices.When these offi- cials were placed under civil service a few years ago the postmaster had the privilege of saying who the as- sistant should be and there was no merit test.The assistants should be required to take their chances on amination,as in the case of postal clerks., The following comes in a dispatch frow,.a Representative Edwin Y..Webb,of North “--~4na,author of the Webb anti-liguor shipment pill,declared,to-day that the express companies are putting a too rigid construction on the att when they decline to accept liquors intended for personal use forshipmentfrom“wet”into “dry” States.Mr.Webb said the bill was not framed to prevent the shipment of liquor for personal use and when the act is interpreted as rigidly as some of the express companies have done he said a wrong construction is placedonit.There is some talk in Wash- ington that the express companies are placing the rigid construction on the act in order to make it unpopular. Surely Mr.Webb,who.has been much applauded for the passage of the bill which bears nis name,isn’t getting “cold feet”since he finds the measure is taking hold..What he says about his bill is true but the charge that the express companies are putting too rigid a construction on it seems unwarranted by the facts. Mr.Webb’s bill simply subjects in- ter-State shipments of liquor to local laws and regulations.Therefore, when it is found that local laws pro- hibit the shipment of liquor into cer- tain localities,except for medical pur- poses,as is true in this State;or the shipment into the State except to dis- pensaries,as seems to be the case in South Carolina,the express compa- nies should be commended instead of criticised,for observing the regula- tions.The Webb bill does not prohib- it shipments for personal use but the ae State has a rght,it seems;to prohib-|stroyed it such shipments,und as the Webb "law makes the shipments subject to State law,there’s where the trouble comes in.Mr.Webb should inform himself as to the facts before makingcriticismcalculatedtodoharmandnullifytheeffectofhislaw. oa merit test.That is| ex-) CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS.

The Federal government is about |to begin work on a massive sea wall jat Cape Lookout harbor,one and one- third miles in length,at a cost of $3,- 500,000,of which amount there is al- ready available on accownt of the.re- cent river and harbor appropriation, |$1,490,000.This wall,when complet- led,makes the harbor thoroughly pro- (tected and available for’any size ship. lIts improved depth is two feet great- ler than the wonderful harbor of New York.By dredging at comparatively ismall cost,the harbor can be deepen- ‘ed to any depth,limited only by the ldepth of the ocean itself,a part of jwhich it in reality:fs. |It is a well known fact that the |Norfolk Southern rausroad has plans |to make immediately physical .con- jnection with this harbor.When com- |pleted no more accessible spot on the |Atlantic coast can be found for the erection of great coal piers for hand- ling Trans-Atlantic coal shipments or ships passing through the Panama ca- nal.All commerce requiring the deepest water terminals will find at this harbor all necessary facilities foritsdevelopment.The people of North Carolina cannot begin to realize what a revolution in facilities and rates this development will cause.Cape Lookout is ¥0 miles south of Hatteras,ten miles east of Beaufort, at.the southern extremity of the pro- posed inland waterway between Bos- ton and Beaufort,now under construc- tion.For hundreds of years it has been regarded as a place of safety by seafaring men.It is perfectly pro- tected from north and east storms.

The Arkansas Legislature last weekdecidedtodispensewiththeState National Guard,a bill providing for the body failing after opponents had recounted the “shooting up”of a ne- gro poolroom at Fordyce last August when several companies of the guard were in that town.Published state- ments of alleged drinking and gamb- ling in camp were read during the debate over the appropriation meas- ure.The bill cannot be brought up again at this session of the Legisla- ture. Frank Clark,who operated a saw mill near Pageland,S.C.,got both hands cut off by the saw at his mill a few days ago.One hand was cut off above the-wrist and the other was cut off across the palm and had to be amputated.Mr.Clark was in the act of putting on the bele which carries off the sawdust when his right hand touched the saw and he was jerked toward it.In his efforts to keep off the saw his left arm came in contact with the saw and was cut off just above the wrist.The severed hand was thrown several yards and was not found until the next day. While spectators who crowded a theater in Philadelphia sat in won- der at the sudden stopping of a mov- ing picture being displayed on the screen,an investigation by attaches of the house resulted in the discovery that the operator had been electro- cuted.His body was found stretched across an electric switchboard in the little room in which the machine was located.The dead man,Yred- erick Schmilstetter,43 years old,was an experienced operator and the man- ner in which he came into contactwiththelivewireisamystery. Rev.P,F.Searcy,pastor of Wash- ington Avenue Baptist church,Hunt- ington,W.Va.,has brought suit against J.B.Boone,a deacon in the church,for $10,000 #amages.Boone is alleged to have charged that the pastor was drinking on election day, November 5.Other damage suits of a similar character will be filed by Mr.Searcy as the result of charges alleged to have been made against him by other members of his congre- gation.At a stormy meeting of a congregation an effort to oust Searcyaspastorfailedand14familieswith- drew from the church. A half million dollars will be sur-rendered by the Federal Treasury to corporations which during the past three years have been penalized for failure to make corporation tax re-turns within the.time limit.Congress authorized the refunding of such pen- alties in excess of $100,provided the delay in submitting ceturns was due solely to neglect.The ney law also authérizes such refunding in the fu- ture and it is said virtually will re- duce to $100 the maximum penalty which will be assessed against corpor- ations for failure to make reports by March 1 of each year of earnings on which the tax was assessed. Should Be Relieved of Local Legisla- tion. State Journal. While an enormous amount of workwasdone(by the Legislature)and some excellent measures put into law, the work of the session as a whole is a disappointment to the people.Many matters of vital importance were ig- nored or rejected with scant consider- ation.Some of these were close totheheartsofthepeopleandtheyhad a right to expect their enactment into law.Few laws of a_general nature were passed and most of the time and thought of the members was taken up by local and special mat- ters.‘The present system of legisla-tion is simply intolerable.The use-fulness of the General Assembly hasbeenalmostdestroyedasabodyfor the consideration of matters affectingallthepeople.Disaster .will certain- ly follow unless the evil of local andspeciallegislationisspeedilychecked, There is a ray of hope in the factthataspecialsessionistobecalled to consider the constitution,which issadlyinneedofamendmenttocheck this evil.What we have said must not beunderstoodasacriticismofthemem-bers.The great majority of them are undoubtedly capable and patriotic men who have tried to perform their duties faithfully.They would cer- tainly have done themselves far more credit and the.State more good iftheyhadbeenfreefromtheburden of local questions.scaeuiaetiinshigiaieinaancliiiuitinnsiens Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has won its grent reputation and extensive sale by itsremarkablecures.of coughs,colds and croup.

TUESDAY,--~--March 18,1923. —THE HILLSBORO VERDICT. The conviction in the case of the Chapel Hill hazers,responsible for the death of young:Rand,was entirely, proper.Under the law they were so clearly,guilty of manslaughter that the wonder is their counsel did not submit them.Their hope,however, ‘was for a possible escape on the ex- cuse that’hazing is a custom,has been tolerated and condoned—encour- aged,in fact.This,while true,makes it none the less a crime and,as Judge.Peebles well said to the jury, has not repealed the law against such offences.The convicted men and their friends cannot complain of the punishment.They got off with as lit- tle as they could -possibly--expect. There will doubtless be criticism of the sentence.While the defendants did not get what they deserved,it was not to be expected under the circumstances that severe punish- ment would be imposed.While the fact that hazing has been a custom, tolerated and condoned,and .the fur- ther fact that the defendants did not intend to kill Rand,were not allow- ed to save them.from conviction, these facts necessarily operated in their favor in the matter of punish- ment. While the defendants escaped im- prisonment they are branded as fel- ons and deprived of the rights of cit- izenship.That is a severe punish- ment to a man who thinks anything of himself or of his future,for be as- sured that this stain will be passed to generations yet unborn.The citizen- ship will be restored in due season. It is stated that application will be made to Gov.Craig for a pardon. The Governor will make a serious mistake to grant it.A prompt par- don will nullify the effect of the con- viction and will tend to encourage the continuance of mob law,which hazing is.The young men should be restored to citizenship but this _can be done by the courts at the proper time and there is no good excuse for the Governor interfering.The Greensboro News currectly sums up the result of the trial as follows: Too much harm has come in the past through the presumption on the part of college students that they can do just what they desire,and that they will not be held accountable by the State.The Hillsboro trial has exploded this theory if any exploding was necessary.Students are just as much citizens as any one else.The death of young Rand was tragic,It was deplorable,but if his death means that hazing in North Carolina will end,his death will not have been invain.No maudlin sentiment should be shown in regard to the hazers. They should be made to serve their sentences as a warning that the State of North Carolina will not stand for hazing. One of the most popular judges the State ever had was Thomas J.Shaw of Greensboro...He adminis- tered justice in thorough and effec-tive manner.and his’courts weremodelsfor~others to pattern after. But he was too good a judge for a ’certain class ef Jawyers and for theaMtthey.bext hints...nomination,when he stood.for *re- election...Governor Craig has namedhimforoneofthenewjudgeshipsandtheappointmenthasbeenre- ceived everywhere with pleasure and commended most —_highly.—RaleighTimes. The papers all over the State are commending the appointment —of Judge Shaw in the highest terms.It is evidence that the work of Judge Shaw while he was on the bench met the approbation of the people and his return to that post is gladly welcom- ed. David Livingstone,African explor- er and missionary,whose centennial is veing celebrated this week by churches,Sunday schools and mission- ary societies,was horn of Scottish peasants at Blantyre,March 19,1813. Before he was 10 years old he was a cotton mill worker.He wasa self- made man and largely self-educated. His work attracted the attention of the world and when he died his re- mains were buried with honors in Westminster Abbey,London.It is a remarkable fact that other great mis- sionaries and other men of promi- nénce,contemporaries of Livingstone, have been forgotten,while the centen- nial of the peasant mill boy is cele- brated and his name honored through- out the English-speaking world.

Hollow Horn Bear,chief of the Sioux Indians,who was in Washing- ton for the inauguration,died there last week of pneumunta.He was 64 years old and his home was at Rose- bud,8.D.,where he.was taken for burial. An inventory of the estate of the late Robert P.Doremus,the New York banker who bequeathed his es- tate to Washington and Lee Universi- ty,Lexington,Va.,shows that the University will eventually receive two million Jgollars,probably the largest single gift ever made to a Southern institution of learning. E.H.Gordon,a cashier in the freight department of the Seaboard Air Line railway,while coming from a bank in Portsmouth,Va.,Saturday with $2,020,was struck over the head with a hammer and robbed.Chester Preston was arrested charged with the robbery.The money has not been found.Gordon is seriously injured. President Wilson again escaped the stares of the curious and worshipped inconspicuously Sunday at the First Presbyterian church of Washington. With a dozen or more Presbyterian churches located within easy reach of he White House,the President has kept Washington fork guessing each Sunday as to the one he would se- lect. Parcel post business last month was almost 40 per cent greater than in January as‘Shown by reports to Post- master General Burleson.In Febru- ary 50,000,000 parcel post packages were handled,an increase of 10,000,- 000 over the previous month;but as February contained three days less than January the real gain in the bus- iness was almost 40 per cent. Postmaster General Hitchcock claimed that he put the Postoffice De-partment on a self-sustaining basis;others disputed the assertion.Post- master General Burleson will try to find out how it is and for the purpose he will appoint a commission,com- posed probably of the various assist- ant postmasters general and the chief clerk to make a careful investigation. Conferences between National Chairman William F.McCombs and Democratic leaders has brought out the fact that the administration’in- tends to proceed slowly and carefully in filling Federal offices throughout the country.It is expected,however, that when the extra session of Con- gress begins April 7,there will be a long list of appointments ready for confirmation. “Trust”investigations begun dur- ing the Taft administration are being continued with unabated energy by Attorney General McReynolds.New inquiries are expected as soon as the forces of the Department of Justice can reach them.By direction of.the Attorney General,tne Standard oil inquiry willbe pressed to conclusion as rapidly as possible to determine whether the decree of dissolution has been violated. A constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote for Presi-dent and Vice President probably will be brought formally before Congress with the endorsement of a Senate committee before the end of the pres- ent year.In the reorganization of its committees thé Senate took its woman suffrage committee out of the list of inactive committees,where it has re- mained for many years,and increased’ the membership.A majority of the committee is said to favor woman suffrage.

The extra session of Congress,call- ed by President Wilson to assemble April 7,will begin with nothing but the tariff revision bills before it.This fact was made clear in a statement by Representative Underwood,chair- man of the ways and means commit- tee.Until tariff legislation is well under way in the House,no general committees will be named and no oth-er legislative subjects will be takenup., Mrs.Martha Battle,wife of Dr. Kemp P.Battle,died yesterday at her home at Chapel Hill,aged 80.In, terment in Raleigh.About a week ago her hip was broken by a fall.

Today the Legislature adjourned andFutrellappearedattheGovernor's office and demanded Oldham retire in his favor.Oldham,backed by an opin> ion of the State Attorney General, who held that Oldham was legally the Governor,refused.Futrell then es- tablished himself in the office of thePresidentoftheSenateandisendeav- oring to administer the affairs of the State while Oldham is making the same endeavor in another part of the building. _strrewiteliranianapmenaarranerarmieriontetiinetir Postmaster General Burleson says he not only plans t«place all fourthclasspostmastersunderthecivil service but that all second and third class,and possibly all first class postmasters,will be in the civil serv- ice before he gets through.All ap- plicants,however,those in as well as the outs,must take the examination.

Washington Dispatch. President Wilson’s advisers havehituponsolutionsoftwoofthepo-litical problems confronting the ad-ministration which promised to bemosttroublesome—-what kind of Dem- ocrats shajl get the prumsfrom.the.political tree and how thousands ofDemocratsthroughoutthecountry can be given a fighting chance at least to get near the tree.Within the next few days Postmas-ter General Burleson is expected topresentforthePresident’s consider-ation a plan which will open to Dem- ocrats the 385,000 third and fourth class postmasterships converted into the civil service recently by Mr.Taft.Mr.Burleson said that he had notyetdecidedwhethertoaskthePres-ident for a revocation of ‘this order.}f he decides against..asking for a revocation he will then suggestthatpostmasterswhobenefitedbytheTaftorderberequiredtopassamer- it test which would be open also toothers..If the President took the first course thousands of postoffices would be available at once and if he chose the other,Democrats who en- tered the merit competition wouldhaveas,good a chance as Republican incumbents.Mr.Burleson and Chairman Mce- Combs,of the Democratic national committee,have settled upon a plan for patronage distribution which.also will be submitted to the President shortly.If it is followed the ques- tion of whether a candidate for of- fice is backed by “organization”men or “anti-organization”men will not figure when he is weighed for a place..The President will be advised to go upon the principle that any man who subscribes to the Democratic platform and shows his belief in Democratic principles is politically fit for office.Personal fitness,of course,will be considered first,but the question of State factions or pre-convention alliance will have lit- tle weight.This disposition has been shown in the first batch of pres- idential appointments.Some of the most prominent men whom the Pres- ident has named thus far opposed his nomination at Baltimore. The appointment of John Skelton Williams &s Assistant Secretary of the Treasury is viewed as an exam- ple of the selection of an independent Democrat.The selection of Beverly T.Galloway to be Assistant Secre- tary of Agriculture is regarded as an appointment in which political affili- ations were not considered,since he has served in that department through several administrations. Would Make Them All Stand the Test. Washington ,Dispatch. Postmaster General Burleson has; begun developing his plan to pre- scribe a civil service examination forfourthclasspostmasters.He consult- ed with Civil Service Commissioner John A.Mclihenny,wno told him it would be practical to hold examina- tions that would be true tests of the ae ten ability. he fourth class postmasters,near- ly 40,000 of them,now are in the classified service,having been placed there by executive orders under the Roosevelt and Taft administrations. Postmaster General Burleson says that the spirit of the civil service was violated in putting all these of- ficers into the classified service and strictly civil service basis. “Many of.those who today hold positions as fourth class postmas- terg,”said Mr.Burleson,“secured them as a result of pernicious polit- ical activity.The Postoffice Depart- ment should be a business institution, run on scientific business lines.I in- tend to make it such.”He added thattheplanonwhichhewasworking was his own;that be had not 4i-or- ed it with President Wilson.' Taft and Wilson Talked About the “Weather. Lumberton Robesonian. When the then President,Mr.Taft,and the then soon-to-be President, Mr.Wilson,were riding to the inaug- uration they talked almost altogeth- er about the weather,according to one who was close to them.Mr.Wil- son remarked about the beauty andgratefulwarmthoftheday,and Mr. Taft said it was so and then _launch- ed out to tell about the exceeding un-gratefulness and biting cold of the day four years age when he was in- ducted into office,when such a bliz- zard as never before tet loose its ter- rors.Then they’d agree that it wasafinedaythistime,though.BetwentimesMr.Taft would start to tell Mr.Wilson about some or the,duties of the office he was about to assumethatwouldtakeuplotsofhistime, but back they’d come to the weather.They couldn’t get away from it.

The bumper crops of the past year have not only enriched the farmer but have served to increase the wages of farm laborers.A bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture’de- clares wages paid to such laborers have increased about 3.12 per cent during the year and 7.0 per cent dur- ing the past two years,“Since 1902,” adds the bulletin,“the inc#ease hasbeenabout34percent.” The current average rate of farm wages in the United States when board is included,acording to the bul- letin is:By the month $20.81”by the day other than harvest $1.14,at har- vest $1.54.When board is not in- cluded the rate is:By the month $29,- 58,by the day other than harvest $1.- 47,by the day at harvest $1.87.The wages vary in different parts of the country. The wages paid farm laborers now, as compared with the average of wages,during the eighties,are about 53 per cent higher;as compared with the low year of 1894 the pres- ent wages are about 64 per cent high- er,according to the department’s fig- ures.

DAVE ALLISON BURIED ALIVE. Colored Man Caught By a Cave-in— Soon Rescued,Practically Unhurt. Dave Allison,an aged colored man, had the unpleasant experience of be- ing.buried alive Tuesday morning about 11 o’clock when a cave-in oc- curred in a ditch in which he was working on north Center street.He did not remain in the ground but a few minutes,however,and aside from the shock suffered little ill effects.Al- lison was in the employ of Mr.C.E. Ritchie,the plumber,and heandacoupleofothercoloredmen were assisting Messrs.Ritchie and N.W.Fox in digging a ditch into the east side of the fill on Center street,just north of Water street,for thepurposeoftapvingthecitywater main to make water connettion for the garage to be erected for Mr.Fox. At this point the water main is ten or 12 feet beneath the surface of thefillandtheditchwasadeepone. The work of opening the ditch had been completed with the exception of taking a little dirt from beneath the water main to allow the chain of the tapping machine to go around the pipe and Allison was down on hiskneesdiggingunderthehugepipe when he noticed a sudden movement of the north bank of the ditch.Real- izing that a cave-in was going to oc- eur Allison quickly rose from his knees and managed to get on top thepipeandbracehimselfagainstthe bank before the dirt reached him.In ‘an instant,however,and before those about him could gtve assistance,he was covered with earth to a depth of two feet above his head.essrs. Fox and Ritchie and the colored la- borers rushed to Allison’s relief and immediately began digging with all haste,but it seemed to them as if they could never get the dirt moved and they became much alarmed.News of the accident was passed along the street rapidly and quite a number of volunteer workmen were on the scene within two or three minutes,put there was only room in the ditch for two or three of the rescuers.Allison's struggles could be heard and Mr. Ritchie got close to the ground and called to him.He replied that he was alive and was keeping the dirt away from his face with hig hands.As the rescue work progressed Allison di- rected the course to ve taken and within a few minutes his head was uncovered.As soon as the dirt was removed from around his shoulders heexplainedthattherewasanopeni: about his feet which had not fillandrealizingthathewasnotbadly wedged thé rescuers caught him by the arms and pulled him out. The old negro was naturally a little nervous,but not near so badly fright- ened as ofe might think.He said he was not hurt and walked to his home a few hundred yards away.A little later,however,he felt more-or less soreness about his body,but this was not serious.In discussing his experi- ence with the newspaper reporter Al- lison said that he realized that his life was saved because he manag- ed to get on his feet and brace him- self before the weight of the dirt was on him.He had been in cave-ins be- fore,but had never been covered high- er than his waste.Messrs.Fox and Ritchié realized that.the bank of the fill into which they were making an opening was rather treacherous and braces had been placed against the higher por- tions,the side which fell in being considered safe.Had the cave-in been delayed five or ten minutes it would have caught Mr.Ritchie,for the ditch to begin work with his tap- ping machine when it occurred.—~ Hayes Hell to Be Insane.

A citizen of Loray community who has given some study to road con- \struction is convinced -that in the further construction of Iredell roads the practice of putting on top soil should be abandoned,and he’asks The Landmark to give his views about the matter,which it does herewith. The Loray man is convinced that the top soil will have to be replaced in ten years at least..In view of this fact he maintains that the expense of putting it on should be saved and trouble and annoyance of getting top soil from land-owners should be avoid- ed.Where there is good clay soil, contends the Loray man,a road prop- erly graded and drained,the drains kept open and the road drag used at the proper time,=good road canbemaintainedwithouttheuseoftop ‘sol at nearly all seasons of the year. Where.there is “isin-glass soil,”asheexpressedit,or a rotten soil that will not hold,he woatd use stone,as he says the top soil is useless in such places.In the main,however,‘he would construct ordinary soil roads without the use of top soil.While the top soil is serviceable for a time he thinks the cost of putting it on and replacing it and the trouble in getting land-owners to surrender it— a_tronble which would be intensified when the second call is.made—is much greater than the soil is worth; and that the money saved by abandon- ing the top soil would very materially increase the amount of road construc- tion.

The President Sends “Dem Presents Back.” |If any of The Landmark's readers jare thinking of sending President ,Wilson a present they should forbear. |The President isn’t receiving pres- jents.A few days ago a razor strop with gold-mounted trimmings,a pa- per weight and one or two other things were received at the White House from admirers of the admin- istration,but each gift was returned with a note from the President,in which he stated that he appreciated |the spirit which prompted the gift, jbut that it was returned in accord- ance with a decision not to accept presents of any kind from any source.Since the President has been in of- fice a t mahy things have been re-{,but they have been invaribly Sent back to the senders,each with a little note of ap reciation.Of course, many of the gitts are trivial,as far aa value is concerned and represent nothing but the good feeling of the senders.At the same time the Presi- dent feels that it is unwise to estab-lish precedents,so far as his adminis- tration is concerned,and it would be very difficult to draw the line be- tween those which could be accepted with propriety and those which might be regarded as implying some obli- gation on his part.The “twilight zone”might become uncomfortablylargeanditisunderstoodthatMr. Wilson feels the only safe rule is to return all presents.

Schinas was seized immediately and overpowered. The wounded King was lifted into a carriage and taken to the Papafion hospital.He was still breathing when placed in the carriage but was deadwhenthehospitalwasreached. Crown Prince Ovnstantine,who succeeds King George,is at present at Janina.He is expected to come here with all possible speed. The assassin of the King is an evil- looking fellow about 40 years of age. On being arrested he refused to ex- plain his motive for the crime.He declared his name was Aleko Shi- nas and in reply to an officer who asked him whether he had no pity for his country,announced that he was against governments.Schinas maintained a perfectly impassable de- meanor which was suggestive of his being irresponsible for his actions.

Winston and Salem to consolidate but from the sentimental point of view The Landmark ‘regrets it.Histor- ic old Salem,quaint and interesting, will lose its identity in the modern city ofWinston.TTI! Salisbury was ever a standpatter. The vote on the commission form of government is fresh evidence.The Post made a brave fight and if it will keep up the battle it will win.Munic- ipal government must become a busi- ness governmerit.The old system is a failure. The Winston Journal issued a hand- some 46-page Easter edition Sunday, containing excellent Mustrations and write-ups of the business and institu- tions of Winston-Salem.Giving an account of its own admirable prog- yess as a newspaper,the Journal mentions that it has recently added to its equipment a model No.8 lino- type,“the only one of the kind in this section.”If “this section”means any portion of the region round about it may be mentioned that one or two of these machines have been in Salis- bury and one in Statesville—in The Landmark office—since last summer. RT The action of the express compa- nies in reconsidering and ordering the delivery of liquor in Anson,Cabar- rus and other counties,where local laws,supposed to be made operative through the Webb act,had shut out all deliveries except to bona fide druggists,is not explained.As Con- gressman Webb is quoted as criticis- ing the express companies and charg- ing that they put too rigid a construc- tiofi on his law,possibly they decided to take Mr.Webb’s word for it and let the booze flow. The sentence of the hazers at Hills- boro is generally disapproved by the newspapers.They regard Judge Pee- bles’action in allowing the defendants to be hired out as practically nullify- ing the verdict of the jury.TheLand- mark expected little m this case and has not been disappointed.If Gov. Craig does not pardon the defendants this paper will not complain.They should be restored to citizenship but this can be done through the courts at the proper time.Seeing that prac- tically no punishment has been im- posed,a pardon would have the effect of nullifying the verdict of the jury. The idea seems to be gaining ground that no matter who is appoint- ed collector of this district the office must be removed to Winston.In fact it seems that the Winston people are more concerned in securing the office than in having a Winston man ap- pointed collector.Statesville has had the office,at different times,for many years fut always under a Republi- can administration.Soon after the first Cleveland administration came in the office was removed from States- ville.The second Cleveland adminis- tration the office was tn Asheville,the collectors being from that section. Statesville and Iredell Democrats have always felt that inasmuch as they had the political influence of the collector’s office to combat under Re- publican administrations they are en- titled to whatever advantage there may be under Democratic administra- tions.Heretofore this has been denied them.We shall see how it will be this time President Will Go to the Capitol While Congress isin Session. President Wilson will confer fre- quently with members of the HouseandSenateinthePresident’s room at the capitol during the extra ses- sion of Congress.This was announc- ed at the White House Wednesday._The President intends to makehimselfasaccessibleaspossibleto members on those days when tarifflegislationwillhavereacheditsmostimportantdevelopment.The Presi- dent will go to the capitol iri a spirit offriendly co-operation,there to con-sult with Democrats and Republicans alike on the progress of.legislation.

Hon.W.J.Bryan,now Secretary of State,returned this week to his home at Lincoln,Neb.,for the first time since the November election.He re- ceived an ovation from home folks and a dinner was given in honor of his 53d birthday.President Wilson sent a telegram of congratulation and appreciation of Mr.Bryan’s s¢rvices in helping to run the government. Joseph Stefunski,a cowboy from Geyser,Montana,apparently dement- ed,threw officials at city hall at Buf- falo,N.Y.,into a panic when he en- tered the mayor’s office and opened fire on the clerks and a policeman on duty there.Charles E.Lang,a police- man,who grappled with the man,was shot four times,but probably will re- cover.Stefunski asked for the mayor and when told he was out demanded $100,When the officer started toward him he opened fire. It is reported from Washington that a general fight to cut down Fed- eral expenditures and bring them within the estimated revenues of thegovernmentistobemadeinthespe- cial session of Congress’as soon as the tariff bills have been disposed of by the House.In a letter to Senator Tillman President Wilson has declar- ed himself in favor of a wisely plan- ned budget to hold down expenditure. For all of which,tet all the people hope and give thanks. The President Monday listened to a committee of women suffrage lead- ers who urged him to recommend at the extra session of Congress adop- tion of an amendment to the Federal constitution giving the ballot to wo- men.Mr.Wilson indicated that while he might not make such a recom- mendation at the extra.session,he did not.wish his attitude now to be construed as opposed to women suf- frage.He made it clear that his mind was open on the subject. James G°Oakley,president of the State convict board of Alabama,was arrested Tuesday,chatged with the embezzlement of funds aggregating nearly $100,000.Foowing the ar- rest of Oakley Governor O’Neil an- nounced that he had removed Oakley from office and had taken charge of the convict departinent for the State.

One bP Hing ANonao-of Bpain-can-per~:suade his government to let him visit our shores—a feat he is trying hard to accomplish—he will be the firstreigningEuropeanKingtodragtheroyalpurpleoverthelandofthefree and the home of the brave. We have had monarchs here before,and indeed reigning ones,but they were usually from the Cannibal Isl- ands and coral reef circuits.For.in- stance,about a quarter of a century ago that distinguished potentate, King Kalakaua,of the then primitiveandun-Americanized Hawaiian Isl- ands,used to transport his august person across the Pacific and favor us with a visit now and then.Within the last few years the highly’civil- ized.and provressive Gaekwar of Ba- roda.has twice visited America,and his son is even now a student at Har- vard..The Gaekwar’s throne is under British protection.Kings do not call on us as @ rule, though they frequently drop in on re- publican France and are welcomed there.The reason is simple—we could not receive a_king officially. Though we have all kinds of systems,from the tipping system’to the civil service system,we lack the system that nearly.every other nation revels in,the system of official rank,whichrecognizeshereditarydignities.King Alfonso goes to visit the Kai-ser.Just before he reaches Berlin hewillremovehiscommonclothesand don the uniform of g Prussian regi- ment of dragoons,of which he is tit- ular colonel.The Kaiser simultane- ously will hurry to the storehouse called his wardrohe and array himself in the uniform of the Royal Spanish Lanciers,in which he,in turn,is a titular colonel.The Emperor will meet his august brother at the sta- tion with a full military escort;the crowds will cheer,the bands play,the monarchs bow,and so_triumphantly they will arrive at the palace as self- respecting monarches are accustomed to arrive. Now,if King Alfonso comes to this country his reception will,sad to say, be far,far different.He cannot don the uniform of an officer in a crackAmericanregimentbecausehehasno authority to do so;neither can the President,for.various reasons,don the uniform of a Spanish regiment of lancers.Nor will there be any consid- erable part of the United States of America waiting to greet his majes- ty as the ship comes fn.As he steps down the gangplank a newsboy may wery likely brueh the royal sleeve with a newspaper,A customs man tnay insist on the King signing his declaration with his last name.Once the King is allowed tosteponourlittleislandthebesthe can do is to proceed incognito to a good hotel,cegister as Count some- thing or other,grant an interview or so and take the earliest train to Washington. There the President and he will ex-change visits,in the course of which the President will address him not a& good friend.”Such is the formal White House phrase for all similarpurposes.The poor monarch will have to look for entertainment as aprivatepersonwherevertheofficial representatives of this nation are concerned.Can any one wonder that no King who has been nicely prought up can think of an official visit to America without a shudder? Second Largest Crop of Cotton LastYear. The second largest cotton crop ever grown,amounting to 14,295,500, equivalent 500-pound bales,including linters,was produced by the farmers of the United States during 1912,the census bureau announces in its pre- liminary report of the total produc- tion of cotton as returned by spinners and delinters. The number of running bales, counting round as half bales and in- cluding linters,was 14,076,430.NN Suicide By Throwing Himself on a Saw.

In the agricultural appropriation bill this year,Congress declared that all birds which do not maketheir home in any one State during the en- tire year belong to the United States government and provided for their. protection.That means that hereaf- ter the people’who shoot robins will not run.up against only mere ordinances al and State laws,ut against Uncle Sam,and as is.pretty generally understood, ooting whatever the faults of Uncle Sam,he believes in the enforcement of his laws.The un- derstanding is that the Agricultural Department will ee gpl tions under which migratory birds may_be killed or ca tured,if need be, and that these regulations must have the approval of the President.But it is not likely that these regulations are going to permit such slaughter ashas heretofore.been 80.common.eecnaseenaninanseceetscaaasy The Marshalls .Plain’Folks and Sensible. Charlotte Observer.‘ When the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall announced their inteition to put up at a hotel in Washington they further stated that the reason why they did not buy or lease a palace in the usual vice presiaential style_was lack of finances on their part.“I’m going to keep what I have and live within my income here,”said Mr. Marshall more recently.“I can do it,I think,with economy.I think a little economy won’t hurt the Amer- ican people—inclading me.”To this programme and this sound philoso- phy Mrs.Marshall adds another item with the statément that she will not employ a social secretary because the cost ig too much.We are particular- ly glad that Mr.Marshall will be a commencement speaker in North Car- olina next June.He is certain to say some of the things that most need to be said.

Mullice,solemnized Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock at the home of the bride’s uncle,Mr.W.R.Hedrick,at Loray. Only a few intimate friends and rel- atives witnessed the ceremony. The parlor of the home was pretti- ly decorated;the prevailing colors, green and white,were noticeable in an artistic arch formed in the center of the room under which the bridal pair stood while Rev.E.D.Brown pro- nounced them man and wife.The bride wore a stylish coat suit of gray with accessories to match;her flowers were white carnations and ferns tied with white satin ribbon.The at-tendants were Miss Jessie McLelland, maid of honor,wearing a pretty frock of soft blue cloth and carrying an armful of pink carnations,and Mr. J,C.Hedrick,best man.Immediately after the ceremony and congratulations the guests were ushered to the dining room,where a delicious three-course dinner was served by Mrs.L.E.Hedrick,as- sisted by Miss Eulalia McLelland. The color scheme here was yellow and white.The bride is an_excellent young woman;she is a good cook and is noted for her skill in the art of fancy handiwork.

The sales manager of The Life and Speeches of Governor Aycoe®is clos- ing out the entire edition of the book, the plan being to dispose of all the copies now left before April 4th,the first anniversary of Gov.Aycock’s death.No man among all our readers who followed Aycock in that memor- able and historic campaign of 1900 ought to lose this opportunity to get a book that will be treasured in after years.it is really a great book. Supt.J.Y.Joyner says this about it:“For me,Aycock lives again in these pages as I knew him and loved him.One of the charms of the book is its freedom from fulsomeness and cold analysis ****it is a bit of his rich life,his gentle sweet char- acter,his great sympathetic heart,his matchless eloquence set out with rare discrimination and taste.” The regular price of the book is $1.50 and you can get your copy b sending the amount direct to Mr.Ww. F.Marshall,the sales manager,at Raleigh.Better still,get a friend to order with you and you.can get two copies for $2.50;or better still,send $3 and get three copies. Neither the authors nor the sales manager receive any renumeration from the sales of the book.After the publishers are paid the amount re- ceived will go to Mrs.Aycock for the education of her younger children. The Antiquity of the Woman's Club. Presbyterian Standard.— There are many cro*s-grainec men who have never become reconciled to the new woman,and they regard her pernicious activity as a mark of de- cadence peculiar to our age,When in- veiching against the evils of the pres- ent day,they feel that they have es- tablished their thesis,when they cite the present day woman,who figures in clubs,and whose voice is heard where once silence reigned. When the club woman lectures the city government.on hygiene;when she prowls about our back yards and stores to report on their cleanliness; and when she interferes with our perso.*“berty by.saying where we shall expectorate,and where not; these crusty old fellows refer to the good old days of long ago,when wo-man knew her place,and that place was at home looking after the babies.A learned professor who has been delving in old records now informs us that 2,700 years ago women had their clubs and social organizations, and were leaders,at teast,in the field of literature.Women at that time in Greece were educated and associated freely on terms of rull equality with men,and expressed themselves free- ly.They formed clubs for the culti- vation of art,poetry and music.

Fourth,the President is going to run the government;politicians may make suggestions but need not expect to see them carried out,unlegs,per- haps,they coincide with the WhiteHouseviews.Fifth,the President goes to church to worship,not to be seen;crowdsmaygatheraboutthePresident’s church door,but if he sees them first they will not see him.Sixth,the gold braid and lace busi-ness has been eliminated from the White House.Major Rhoades,a mili-tary aide inherited by President Wil- son from President Taft,dresses like any other everyday citizen when he goes out with the President. Seventh,the khaki-colored motor-cycle policemen that used to follow the White House automobile have been given other employment;the President rides.without bicycle es- corts. Eighth,the ancient custom of drap- ing the President’s box at the theater, and playing the national anthem when the President arrives,has been put on the discard. Ninth,old “It is Said,”has disap-peared from the White House news,and instead appears “The President:Said.” Tenth,“that was said in a cabinet meeting and cannot be made public” is of the past;what transpires at cab- inet meetings is public property. Eleventh,the bi-weekly cabinet meetings are under ban;the cabinet will meet when there is something to be done by President Wilson and his official family. Twelfth,the promiscuous use of the “executive.order”has been stopped.

Fourteenth,cold suppers are to be the rule at the White House Sunday evening;the old Presbyterian rule will prevail. Fifteenth,the President declined an invitation to join Chevy Chage club. Sixteenth,John Barleycorn and all other sorts of intoxicating drinks have been tabooed at the White House. Ten days ago President Wilson was inaugurated.Sixteen precedents have been broken and the government is running just the same. Express Company Now Delivering in Anson and Cabarrus. Wadesboro Messenger. Friday agents in Anson of the Southern Express Company received orders to deliver consignments of whiskey to the consignees;much to the joy of these lovers of the ar- dent,who had been faring poorly since Saturday of the previous week, when deliveries were stopped. It is not known whether this state of affairs is temporary or permanent. |This order applies only to Anson. 'In Burke county one-half gallon can ibe delivered to a person in one day.

Senate leaders stated there is gen- eral harmony among the Senate Dem-ocrats upon the tariff programme.In order to carry cut the policy of co-operation it is understood that the Senate probably will have to acceptmuchgreaterreductionsthan~thatbodyapprovedatthelastsession. Members of the finance committee ex- pressed the belief,however,that this would cause the House to exercise caution against making extreme cuts.

Carnegie Library Proposition Again. A petition has been circulated ask- ing the board of aldermen to order an election to allow the people to vote on the question of a tax or annual appropriation for the support of a Carnegie library in Statesville.Mr. Carnegie will yive $5,000 for a library building’in Statesville if the town will give $500 annually for its support; or he will give $10,000 if the town will give a thousand annually and so on up.In other words,he requires the community in which he builds a library to guarantee 10 per cent of the amount annually to maintain the library..This proposition has been pending in Statesville for some years.The first difficulty was the lot,as a free site must be furnished for the library. A few years ago Mrs.8S.A.Sharpe offered to donate a lot for the purpose, the lot heing locatéd on the corner of Sharpe and Race streets,but the board of aldermen at the time declin- ed to make the appropriation for the support of the library.Ht is under- stood that Mrs.Sharpe’s offer still voters Easter in the Churches—Mr.Haddon Declines Call.

Last Hope For Claude Allen—Father ,and Son to Die Friday. Floyd Allen is to die in the peni-tentiary at Richmond Friday and un-less the Supreme Court of the United States interferes his son,Claude Al-len,will be put to death at the same time.Last week counsel for Claude Allen asked the Supreme Court of VirginiatograntarappealtotheUnited States Supreme Court on the ground that Claude Allen was twice placed in jeopardy of his life.for the same crime.Claude,on the first trial,was convicted of second degree murderandgivenapenitentiarysentence.’Tried later for the murder of another court officer he was convicted of firs: degree murder and sentenced to death. The Virginia court refused to grant the appeal on the ground that no Fed- eral question is involved.Applica- tion was then made to Chief Justice White of the United States Supreme Court for a writ of error to enable the Supreme Court to review the ac- tion of the.Virginia court.Justice White refused the writ and a similar application to Justice Hughes,of the same court,was refused.Counsel for Allen,it is reported,were con- sidering applying to the court in a body ‘but it is hardly possible,if the application is made,that the writ will be granted.

Important Changes Made.By the Leg- -|jslature —-County Tax Assess- or Abolished and Old Style of List- ing Comes Back.* Mr.A.J.Maxwell,clerk to the cor- poration commission,has summariz- ed the changes in the revenue and ma- chinery acts as follows: The general property tax rate was increased from 45 cents to 47 2-3 cents,an increase of 2-2-3 cents.This was by reason of the six months’ school enactment,which sets aside five cents of the general State tax levy for the public schools,to be distrib- uted so as to provide the six months’ term.This means that 2 3-4 of the five cents is to be taken out of that part of the levy hertofore used for State purposes and that the conn- ties must take cere of the other 2 3-4 cents.So that the six months’school will not increase the total tax levy except in the few counties that may not be able to take care of their 2 1-4 cents out of the levy heretofore made for general county purposes.The poll taxes is of course adjusted to the property tax rate. Corporations Pay Direct to Treasurer. Section four provides that corpor- ations hereafter pay the State taxes on assessed value of.their capital stock direct to the State Treasurer. Heretofore this has been paid in the counties except on the corporate ex- cess and the change means that all State taxes will hereafter be paid by corporations-direct to the State Treas- urer,which will save to the State and lose to the sheriffs ehe per centage for collection. Inheritance Tax. Improvement in the inheritance tax is made slowly but surely.Each ses- sion of the General Assembly makes some improvement in it and it will become an important source of rev- enue.The main improvement in the present act is ir the machinery and penalties provided for collecting it. The rate is also increased from three-fourths to:one per cent on di- rect inheritances and to as high as 10 per cent to remote heirs or strang- ers in blood. Inheritances between husband and wife are made taxable for the first time,with a liberal exemption of $10,000 to a widow.The Legislature has still failed to adopt the princi- ple that is now applied in most States of graduating the rate higher for large estates.The present act grad- uates the rate with reference to whether the beouest is to near or re- mote kin,but leaves the rate of.tax the same,whether the estate,above the exemption,is large or small.Bvt there will be ar important increase of revenue under this act. The Income Tax. The graduated principle is for the first time applied to the income tax. The amount of income exempted from tax is increased from $1,000 to $1,- 250 and thé rate remains the same, 1 per cent for income of $2,500 in ex- cess of exemption;between $2,500 and $5,000,1 1-2 per cent;between $5,000 and $10,000,2 1-2 per cent. Corporation Franchise Tax. The most important change under schedule B is the corporation fran- chise tax.This is also a form of tax that applies to corporations the prin- ciple of a poll tax to individuals—a tax for the privilege of living—and the tax is proportioned to the amount of capital stock of the corporation. We have had this same form of tax all the time,on a schedule that aver- aged about 1-45th of 1 per cent.The rate finally adopted in the new act is a straight 1-25th of 1 per cent,witha minimum tax of $7.50.The machin- ery adopted with this act is a copy of What is known as “the Willis lav”in Ohio,which is constructed with the purpose to get,-and which does get, the foreign corporations doing busi- ness in the State. The charge has been made that this part of the rew act discriminated against the small cogporations in that it raised the minimum:tax.It doves raise the minimum tax 50 per ecnt— from $5 to $7.50-—-but it raises the rate on’the»larger corporations 150 per cent and on the very .arge ones about a thousand per cent.The old schedule did not go beyond a million dollars in graduating the rate.so that a corporation of ten million capital paid no more than the corporation with one million capital,and we have some corporations with capital as large as ten millions. Railroads,Express,Telegraph. The privilege tax on doubled,the pregent rate yraduated according to gross earnings from $2 to $10 per mile.. The privilege tax on express com- panies is changed from a per centage of receipts to tax of 2 rer mile which will double the tax heretofore paid. The privilege tax on telegraph companies is made $2 per pols mile — ,|a considerable increase. >New Cotton oil tax $10. -|Newspaper contests $10 for week- i lies and $25 for dailies.

In many features the new machin-ery act goes back to the act of 199%. The office of county assessor,Seated by act of 1911,and appointed by State tax commission,is eliminated.For the next two years we will have the sin-gle list-taker for each township,ap- pointed by the koard of county com-missioners.The list-taker is not re- quired to visit the tax-payers but wiil attend at certain places in his town-ship to take the list of the tax-pay-ers. The method of reports by and as-sessment of public service corpora-tions,domestic industrial corpora- tions,banks.ete.,remains unchanged. One feature of the machinery actthatnooneseemstohaveknownany-thing about until after the Legisla- ture adiourned is that settlements be- tween sheriffs and State Treasurer of the State taxes are transferred from the State Auditor vo the State tax commission.This feature promises to be more or less troublesome and will doubtless call for amendment at the special session.

Accompanying the ‘death lists areestimates.of the injured totaling more than 200,with additions com- ing in at brief intervals.Coming up out of the southwest early Friday morning,just.as spring was ushered in,the storm ‘swept with startling syddenness diagonally across the country from northern Texas to western Pennsylvania and New York,bisecting the Mississippi valley and moving northeastward across.the Ohio into the Great Lake region. Shifting winds of great violence, accompanied in varrous sections by sleet and hail,characterized the storm,Buildings toppled over snow, before the blow in nearly a dozen States and death lay all along in its wake fhe property loss was heavy all along the storm’s track.Besides de- molishing or unroofing buildings and felling trees,the high winds,rain, hail and sleet did,serious damage to early crops.Estimates of damage to property from Indiana and Michigan alone aggregate $2,000,000,about evenly divided -between.the two Stat Wire service was demoral- ized and railroad trarfic delayed in all the territory covered by the storm : Che wind which:wiped oft so much property and cost so many lives attained record velocities at some points.Figures given by the | weather bureau in Washington show-| ed that at Detroit it reached 88 | miles an hoar,a new high record in| that city,84 miles at Toledo,88 miles| an hour at Buffalé,Memphis 64 miles| and Louisville 52 miles.

The Landmark congratulates Editor Banks of the Hickory Democrat,on his appointment as secretary to Sec- retary of the Navy Daniels.The Landmark regrets very much that Mr. Banks is to be out of the newspaper game,even temporarily,for men of his type can ill be spared from news- paper work,but it is giad that he will have,time at strenuous task. for a least,a less ‘The three new judges appointed by Gov.Craig of ability.Judge Shaw’s ability as a judge is well known,Mr.Rountree of Wilmington is an unusually able lawyer,and Hon.W.Conner, Speaker of the Legislature,is a young man of recognized ability.His father, Hon.Henry G.Conner,formerly Su are men recognized Geo. perior and Supreme Court judge,now on the Federal court bench,has long been recognized as one of the ablest judges in the State. An editorial paragraph in the last issue of The Landmark the insanity of Hayes,defaulting super- intendent of the Methodist orphanage at ‘Winston,might be construed as a refiection on Drs.Hall and Anderson of Westbrook Sanatorium,Richmond, Va.,who pronounced Hayes abnormal and irresponsible.Therefore,without any intimation or suggestion from anybody that such is the case,The Landmark will say that no such re- flection was thought of.It knows Drs. Hall and Anderson personally and has absolute confidence in their judg- ment.In this connection it is proper to say that The Landmark was ad- vised when the Hayes story was made public,that there was insanity in his family. anent President Wilson is finding difficul- ty in filling the important diplomatic posts with the sort of men he wants. Mr.Olney declined to go to England and the post was dffered Dr.Eliot, former president.of Harvard,who it is understood will also decline.Mr. McCombs would not go to France be- cause he felt he could pot afford it and it is stated that other tenders of important posts have been declined. The President says it is a matter for regret that the diplomatic service is so hampered that only men who have athe time and means 40 ‘leave their business can”accept these important appointments.It is indeed a matter The diplomatic service is so conducted that only men of wealth can afford to accept the positions of the first class,and'to find a man of wealth fitted for the place who is wil- ling to accept it is a problem. for regret. In a note to The Landmark a Méth- odist layman,mentioning the case of Hayes,the defaulting superintendent of the Methodist orphanage at Win- ston,calls attention to the fact that nothing Hayes’bond being good for any part of the defal- cation.The Landmark hadn’t thought of it,but it doubts if any manager of a Church orphanage in this State is under bond.It would be in ac- cordance with the usual Church style of doing business to suppose the man selected for that position would be safe enough without a bond.Usually this is so and such defaleations as that of Hayes are very rare,but a bond should be required,just the same,and the books should be ex- amined by a competent accountant at least once a year.Ordinarily the ex- said aboutis The Chinese assassin who attempt- ed to kill Gen.Hsing and instead fa- tally wounded Gen.Sung,has a prop-.) er conception of the proprieties.Not- withstanding his haste to get away he took time to write a letter of apology to his unintended victim and assure him of his hope that he would have perpetual peace.That was con- siderate of the assassin and it is pre- sumed Gen.Sung was more recon- ciled to his fate after receiving the message,CCN MATTERS OF NEWS.

H.-A.Hayes,late superintendent of the Methodist orphanage at Winston, has been committed to Dr.Taylor’s sanatorium at Morganton with the ex- pectation that he will soon be trans- ferred to the State Hospital. Willis L.Moore,chief of the weath- er bureau,has resigned and his resig-nation has been accepted to take effect July 31.Chas.W.Dabney,a Vir- ginian well known in North Carolina, now president of the University of Cincinnati,is mentioned a8 Moore’s successor. The Southern Railway Company is rushing work on equipping all its lo- comotives with electric headlights,to comply with a new law requiring that this be done by April 1,1913.Sev- eral months ago there were a number of engines still without electric head- lights but the work is nearly com- pleted. Henry Smith,a negro serving a life term in Georgia for the murder of an- other negro,is alleged to have run down,with the aid of»bloodhounds, and captured,single-handed and alone, two escaped white convicts,and:his pardom is recommended.He deserves the pardon if he did all that but— the story comes from Georgia. Following his custom since he has been in Washington,President Wilson last Sunday avoided the crowds at the fashionable churches and attended services at the Eastern Presbyterian church,beyond the capitol,where he was unexpected.A six-year-old girl who sat near his pew gave the Presi- dent a gaily decorated Easter egg. General Sung,the Chinese minister of education,died at Shanghai Satur- day as a result of being shot by mis- take by an assassin.The murderer thought he was shooting General Hsing.The assassin escaped and sent a letter to General Sung and apologized for the shooting,saying he “hoped he would have perpetual peace.” John P.White,International presi- dent of the United Mine Workers of America,announces that a basis of settlement satisfactory to the miners has been reached with representatives of the Paint Creek Collieries Com- pany,whose miners in West Virginia ave been on etrike for about 10 months.There are nearly 10,000 men on strike in the West Virginia fields and the expected settlement affects about 4,000 of them,according to Mr. White.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it helped me from the first dose,andwhenIhadtakentwobottlesmytroublewasgone.Your medicine has done so much for me that I am willing you should publish this letter for the sake of other suffering women.”—Mrs.L:8S.Brenner,Hudson,Michigan.

Scientific Survey of Leprosy in the United States. A survey of the prevalence of lep- rosy in the United States and its pos- sessions was recently made by the United States Public Health Service. Health officers of the several States, Porto Rico,Hawaii and the Philip- pines were requested to submit »a statement of the number of new cases reported in 1911,and of the total number on January 1,1912.The re- sults were not complete,because in only 18 States and the District of Co-lumbia is leprosy a specifically no-tifiable disease.In all,146 cases were reported in the United States,of which 40 were new cases,having been first observedin1911,In 1911 a commission of of-ficers of the Public Health Service found 278 lepers in the United States. Of these,145 were foreign-born and13wereofunknownnativity;186 were reported as probably having con- tracted the disease in this country. Only 72 of ihe patients were isola and cared for by the local authorities. The 146 cases reported in the pres- ent survey do not indicate a decreas- ed prevalence.Rather these 146 cases reported by health authorities are comparable to the 72 cases of pa- tients cared for by health officials in 1901.Three States—-Californie,Louis- iana and Massachusetts—have speécif- ic provision for lepers in leprosari- ums.In other States varying degreesofcareandisolationareprovided. There are known to be 28 lepers in Porto Rico.In Hawaii and the Phil- portant public health problem.In the Philippines about 6,009 lepers have been transferred to Culion.Cebu,an island with one-tenth of the Philip- pines’population,furnished one-half of the cases.On this island many in- stances indicate that leprosy is a s80- called house disease.The Treasury Department recently amended the in- ter-State quarantine regulations to the effect that common carriers may not transport a leper except under specified restrictions,and a special permit from the Surgeon General of the Public Health and Marine Hospit- al Service.A leper who violates this regulation is to be returned to the original State or to a designated Fed- eral quarantine station. Crowds Flock to Dr.Friedmann—A Patient Shows Improvenrent.

Thousands Bless Dr.Leonhardt,the Physician Who Discovered a Com- mon Sense Remedy. If you think that the surgeon’s knife is the only method of escape from the misery of piles,it’s because you haven’t heard of the new treat- ment known everywhere as Dr.Leon- hardt’s HEM-ROID. *The Doctor’s treatment is mostly internal.By experimenting for years he discovered the exact cause of* piles and then went further and com- wounded’a remedy that would re- move thé ‘cause. Dr.Leonhardt wants every suf- ferer to benefit by his discovery and so that there will be no doubting or delay he has authorized the States- ville Drug Company and all drug- gists who handle HEM-ROID to guarantee it to do as stated or money back. On that honorable basis every suf- ferer should secure a package of Dr. Leonhardt’s HEM-ROID to-day.24 days’treatment $1.00. Fertilizer ! We've got it ready to deliver.

WATERS SWEEPO}OHIO-INDIANA. ‘Thousands Drownedwnedin a Flood ThatCoversLargePortionofTwoStates—Many Cities and Towns Inundat- ed—Relief Work in Progress. The latest.news from Dayton,Owherethefloodwasgreatest,is thatracticallyallthemaroonedpeopleiavebeenrescuedandthatsofarthedeathlistisabout200,with a portionofthecityyetunsearched.The death list at Peru,Ind.,is 150 andprobablythesamenumberatZanes-ville,O.At numerous other placesinOhioandIndianathelistranges from one to 100 and the total in all the territory will probably be 3,000, while many thousands are homeless: At Dayton,where the watér is reced-ing,the property loss is placed at $25,000,000. At Cincinnati the Ohio river is ris- ing steadily and other sections are yet to be affected -by the flood. The first report of the great floods in Ohio,Indiana and-other States ap- pears on the second page of The Land- mark.Dayton,O.,was apparently the greatest sufferer and a report from there Wednesday night says the death list was a matter of conjecture but was estimated at 800.The”great Miami river,swollen to a width here- tofore unknown and running with a terrific current,baried the way to specific information of the number of dead.While thousands of persons still were marooned in houses and on roofs in the central portion of thetown,only a few corpses had been recovered and it was believed that in the northern section of the submerg- i ed city,to which rescuing parties had been unable to penetrate,would be found the greatest life loss. While the flood receded Wednesday afternoon a terrific current retarded rescue work and a cold,smarting rain added to the discomfort of the vic- tims.Expert oarsmen who braved the tide in the business section of the sub- merged city returned nerve-racked to relate narratives of pitiable appeals made to them by hundreds marooned in upper floors of tall buildings,about whose lower stories swirled a flood that threatened the structures’found- ations.The dark colors in the narra- tive were lighted here and there by stories of bravery exhibited by many of the flood’s prisoners.A woman with three children marooned in the upper floor of her hume on the edgeofthebusinessdistrictcalledtotheoarsmen: “Oh,I know you can't take me off,” she cried,“but for the love of humani- ty please take this loaf of bread andjugofmolassestoSarahPruyen down the street,I know she’s starv-ing.” Twice the boatmen attempted to take the food but waves that eddied about the submerged house hurled them back.Further on in the ex- clusive residence district they were offered fabulous sums for rescue by many of the flood’s prisoners.Their narrative inspired an effort later to launch a boat for navigation on the vast river but up to a late hour the craft had been unable to pass beyond areas already reached on the fringe of a flooded district. Two oarsmen who braved the c Dem ent that.swirled.through the ff ness section of the city reported that the water at the Algonquin Hotel at the southwest corner of Third and Ludlow streets was 15 feet deep.From windows in the hotels and bust ness buildings hundreds of the ma- rooned begged piteously for reseve and food.The oarsmen said they saw no bodies floating on the flood but de- clared that many persons must have perished in the water’s sudden rush through the streets..Oarsmen .who worked into the outskirts of the bnsi- ness section reported that 250 personsmaroonedintheArcadebuildineand 200 imprisoned in the Y.M.C.A.

While most of the colored people and some of the officers are of the opinion that the Cowan girl was mur- dered and her body destroyed,Sheriff Deaton says he believes she will yet show up alive. Marriages. Miss Olga Weston and Mr.Julian Ross were married Wednesday morn- ing at 10 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents,Mr.and Mrs.John H.Weston,a few miles north of town. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J.J.Eads of Race Street Methodist church,in the presence of quite a par- ty of friends and relatives of the cou- ple.The only attendants were Miss Norma Hackett and Mr.Clifton Alli- son.The bride wore a blue suit and the decorations were blue and white. Following the ceremony the wedding party was served with dinner,after which Mr.and Mrs.Ross came to Statesville in an auto and left on the 1:20 train for Coneord to visit Mr. Ross’father.They will return to Statesville in a few days and make their home here.Mr.Ross is em ployed at the garage of the Carolina Motor Co. Miss Ina Bell Campbell and Mr. Enoch L.Cloer,of the vicinity of Statesville,were married Sunday af- ternoon at the Statesville Inn,where Miss Campbell had been employedforsometime.The ceremony wasperformedbyRev.Charles Anderson. Child Thrown From a Buggy By Run- away. Gladys .Shuford,the 4-year-old daughter of Mr.T.D.Shuford,thedairyman,was thrown from a buggy on Euclid avenue Wednesday morning and slightly hurt.The littie girl was out with her brother,Master Craig Shuford,aged 12 years,who was de- livering milk from a buggy drawn bytwoponies..She was left alone in the buggy while her brother went into a store on Davie avenue and the ponies ran away with her,going north albnge Euclid avenue,At a point near the residence of Mr.W.H.Powell the ponies ran into a tree and stopped so suddenly that the little girl was thrown out.Mr.Powell and others who had been attraceed by the child’s screams ran to her aid and much to their surprise and pleasure found that she was only slightly nurt.Her fath- er was ‘phoned for and came after hev>The only damage te she rona-}way outfit was broxen harness and after a little delay the team was ready to proceed. Ticket Collector Assaulted. Ticket Collector Byrd,of the South- ern railway’s traveling auditing force, was pulled from the platform of pas- senger train No.12 at-Old Fort Tues- day afternoon and assaulted by three men who were passengers on the train.The men boarded thé train at Asheville for Old Fort and the ticket collector claimed that one of their tickets was for Black Mountain in- stead of Old Fort.A dispute follow- ed,but the matter was considered closed in favor of the passengers be- fore the train reached Old Fort.As the three passengers feft the train,it is said,they pulled the ticket col- lector off with them and after knock-ing him down proceeced to beat and kick him until an officer anc Conduc- tor Parker went to his rescue.The railroad man was pretty badly bruis- ed about the face but was able to proceed on his run.His assailants, whose names were not learned here, later submitted to an affray before an Old Fort officer and were fined.

In Danville the other day a former Reidsville man was tried and sen- tenced to five years in the peniten- tiary for the larceny of a watch. ‘About the same time City Treasurer Paylor was tried,convicted and sentenced to 18 months for stealing about $10,000.The formerReig fidle man should have gone into the’steal- ing business on a heavier scale.He might have escaped such a long sen- tence.—Reidsville Review. "Twas ever thus and usually it is a matter of influence.The fellow who. stole the watch was probably an or- dinary thief;or at least was not a man of prominence.The embezzling treasurer doubtless had many influen- tial friends and doubtless had been liberal with the stolen money;where- fore there were probably many to and liberal withal,which of course tended to shorten his term of service. Of course the man of prominence, intelligence and influence:had a bet- ter conception of his duty than one in the lower walks,but the courts rarely administer the law according to the Scripture which’saith: “And that servant,which knew his lord’s will,and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will,shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that-knew not,and did com- mit things worthy of stripes,shall be beaten with few stripes.For unto whomsoever much is given of him shall much be required;and to whom men have committee much,of him they will ask more.”——Luke,12:47- 48. Contrary.to this,those te whom much js committed are usually for- given much,while he who knew not, or who did not have a proper concep- tion of his act nor the influences to keep him in the straight and narrow which surrounded his moré fortunate brother,is required to pay the penalty in full and sometimes a little is ad- ded for the more fortunate who es- cape.Too often in the courts and too often in all walks of life,right and| justice do not determine the result. It is a matter of influence.RENE PARTY REWARDS AND SERVICE.

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS Are Being Cured by Vinol, Did you ever cough for a month? Then just think how distressing it must be to have a coughhangon for three months. Mrs.Maria Primrose,of 87 Newell Street,Brooklyn,N.Y.,says:“I had a very heavy cold which settled into a chronic cough,which kept ma awake nights for fully three months, and felt tired all the time because my rest was broken so much.The effect of taking your cod liver and from rem- edy,Vinol,is that my cough is gone. I can now get a good night's rest,and I feel much stronger In every way.” It is the combined action of tha medicinal elements,cods’livers,aided by the blood-making and strength- creating properties of tonic iron which makes Vinol so ‘efficient in curing chronic coughs,colds and bronchitis —at the same time building up the weakened,run-<iown system. Try a bottle of Vinol,with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.

In the stress of storm-and flood a large section of the country is being sorely tried.Two weeks ago a storm which swept parts of Georgia,Tennes- see,Alabama,Louisiana,Mississippiand Texas resulted in a loss of life esti- mated at 90 to.100 and a property loss running into millions.A week ago a storm which covered portions of the Central,Western,Southern and Eastern States resulted in a death list estimated at about 75 and a prop- erty loss of several millions.Last Sunday a storm which centered at Omaha,Neb.,resulted in great de- struction of life and property in Oma- ha and vicinity,at Terre Haute and other points in Indiana.The death list in Omaha and vicinity is con- servatively estimated at 200. Following on the heels of this came the great floods which have wrought wreck and ruin in Ohio and Indiana and touched some points in other States.The floods in Ohio and Indiana seem to be unparalleled.Until the waters recede it,will be impossible to give anything like a correct estimate of the life loss and property damage, but it is known that the first runs into the thousands and the latter will be many :nillions.Conditions in the flood district will be distressing for many days to come,for the sur- vivors,with all the relief that can be afforded them,will suffer great hard- ship and privation. The Federal and State govern- ments,the Red Cross and other relief agencies are doing all possible for the relief of the stricken people;and sure- ly we who have been spared this ter- rible visitation should gladly help in the work of relief,not only in sym- pathy but as a thank offering to a merciful God who has spared us. March,1913,will stand high on the record of disasters.Surely not in so short a time has there ever been dis- aster so great and so widespread. Newspaper correspondents are not always as careful about facts as they might be.The first report of a kill- ing in Haywood county last Sunday located the scene of the tragedy at a church door in Waynesville.It was said that the murderer went to the church,had an usher call his victim out and as soon as he appeared open- ed fire;that when the congregation ran out they stumbled over the dead body on the’steps,etc.All very thril- ling.Here are the real facts as told by a correspondent of jhe Asheville Gazdtte-News:The shooting took place at the church at Fairview,about two and a half miles west of Waynes- ville.Hardy Sorrels went to the church door and called out his cousin, Henry Sorrels;Henry and Hardy walked down the road and a few minutes later the shooting took place. The difference may not be so import- ant but it is always just as well to have the facts straight. Terre Haute,Ind.,a city of near 60,000 people,he=been doubly.aMict, ed.The cyclone of last Sunday killed 20 people,injured 250 and destroyed 275 houses.Immediately following came the flood which has resulted“in the loss of many lives and much prop- erty damage.Some other points were probably covered by noth cyclone and flood,but Terre Haute seems to be the most conspicuous sufferer. In handing down decisions in 14 cases this week the State Supreme Court upset the judgment of the lower courts in 11 of the 14 cases.From which it would appear that there is some difference of opinion between Superior and Supreme Court judges; and it may mean that some ofthe judges on the Superfor Court bench are not as good lawyers as the posi- tion demands.'

O.Black,suing for damages for al- leged libel in connection with criti- cisms by the State ef the plaintiff's actions during the municipal cam-paign of 1910.The suit was for $50,000.Two other suits for $50,000 each are pending against the State Company. The Arkansas Supreme Court has decided that State Senator F.M. Futrell,acting President of the Sen- ate,is the legal acting Governor of that State.Senator W.Boldham,who vacated the post of presiding officer of the Senate to take that of acting Governor after the election of Govern-or Joseph.T.Robinson to the United States Senate,is thus deposed.The two claimants for the acting govern- orship had maintained offices in differ- ent portions of the capitol.

WHERE LEGISLATURE FAILED. Some of the Things It Did Not Do—There Was No Economy.: After giving.the Legislature:cred-it for the good work done the Pro-gressive Farmer criticises the short-comings of that body ag follows:The most conspicuous failure of theLegislature,as we have already inti-mated,was with regard to taxation.But the corporation commission has atleastbeensharplyremindedofits shortcomings in its capacity as a“State Tax Commission;”the newcommitteeoncenstitutionalamend-ments will wrestle with needed con- stitutional changes with regard,to taxation;and perhaps:the a journedsessionoftheLegislaturewillpro- vide some better policy for the as- sessment of 1915.Despite promises of reform at the outset-—and despite the fact that sogoodanauthorityasMr.J.A.Brown declared to the writer that $10,000asessioncouldbesavedbyordinarybusinesseconomy—we predict thattherecordswillshowthatthisLeg- islature has been one of the most extravagant on record.The members, as usual,started out.by paying polit- ical debts with public funds he em- ploying an unnecessary number ofclerks,laborers,ctc.,and the men whohadquakedwithterroratthe“def-icit”when public schools were men- tioned,freely votead extra pay andextramileagetoalmosteverybodyinsightaroundthembeforeadjourn-ment.It is also to the discredit of the honorable body that almost before it was allowed to do any other public business and while the “deficit screamers”were red jn the face about almost every other appropriation,thelawyermembersrushedthrougha plan for providing four new judges and four new sclicitors and put the “clincher”on it so that it could not even be reconsidered to allow one of the four to servé as special judge of the Torrens Land Court—a plan which would have been of incalcula- ble benefit. Deplorable,too,were the defeat of the forestry protection bill—-$5,000 in prevention to save $500,000 in loss,” as somebody put it;the defeat of thelegalizedprimarybill;the defeat of the measure to secure State enforce- ment of the child labor law;and the defeat of Henry A.Page’s State- wide bill allowing counties to quit paying a salary for the useless office of county treasurer and instead have a bank do the work for nothing—un- der bond,of course. The Brazen Effrontery of Trusts Il- lustrated in the Case of Aluminum, Speaking of this brazen effrontery of the trusts,the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot gives a concrete example of it in these words: “For brazen effronrery,commend us to the Aluminum Company of Amer-ica.Operating behind the existing tariff duty of 7 cents per pound on aluminum,which duty constitutesaprohibitivebarriertooutsidecom- petition,this company has been ena- bled to monopolize the aluminum business in the United States and in¢ crease its capital stock from 3$1,000,-000 to $30,000,000.The whole of this capital,with the exception of about $2,000,000,represents,we are told by the Philadelphia Record,stock divi- dends.In 1912 this concern paid a dividend of 15 per cent on $30,000,000, which dividend was approximately equivalent to 225 per cent on the ac- tual investment in the plant of the company.And yet this tariff-but- tressed trust sends its agents to Washington to plead for retention of the existing prohibitive rate of duty,on the ground that the present meas- ure of protection is necessary to thecontinuedprosperityofthealmuni-num industry in this country.Could there be grosser insult to the averageintelligence?Could there be roore sublime exhibition of unadulterated gall?If so,we confess to utter in- ability to conceive of them.” Mr.Simmons Thinks Tariff Bill Will Go Through.i Washington Dispatch to Raleigh News and Observer. Senator Simmons predicts that in- side of 12 weeks after the Under- wood bill is introduced in the House it will go to the White House for the signature of the Presrdent. The Democrats declare that there will be no repetition of the disorder that accompanied the passageof the Wilson-Gorman bill in 1893. “Mr.Underwood and myself,”said Senator Simmons to the News and Observer correspondent,“will,I think, work to one end on tariff legislation.I have had many talks with Mr.Un-derwood with respect to the tariff,and I am sute we are in entire accord with each other and with President Wilsonuponthatsubject.” “I believe there will be entire har-mony between the President,the House and the Senate in their efforts to carry out the tariff platform andpledgesoftheDemocraticparty,”said Mr.Simmons.“I do not believe there will be any difference of opinion astothecorrectinterpretationofthetariffplankoftheplatform.” President Wilson and Mr.Under- wood have said as much.Mr.Under- wood and his committee have aboutagreeduponabill.The Senate com- mittee,knowing the provisions of the Underwood measure,will adopt theHousebillwithslight.modifications.

Work has been started on a largescaleatWhitney,Stanly county, where the Southern Aluminum Com- pany,a French syndicate,is developr ing a 45,000 horsepower hydro-elec- tric plant.Four carloads of laborers were delivered at Whitney this week, says a Salisbury dispatch to theCharlotteObserver.The men were set to work on grad- ing for a railroad from Palmerville, near Whitney station,to the Nar- rows,three miles down the river, where a dam 145 feet high and more than 1,000 feet long rs to be built.The new railroad c¢onnecting with the Southern at Whitney will be of stand-ard construction with 80-pound rails and in every way sufficient to handle heavy trains.It will run seven miles to the site of the dam.

Adrianople Surrendered But Burned By the Turks. London Dispatch,26th. Adrianople has fallen after one of the most stubborn defenses in the his- tory of welfare,and Tchatalja,ac- cording to a telegram received by the Bulgarian legation at London to- night,has suffered a like fate. The information regarding Tcha- talja may refer to the town of that name and not the fortifications,al- though it is possible the Bulgarians carried all before them. Shukri Pasha,the defender of Adrianople,handed his sword this afternoon to General!Savoff,the Bul- garian generalissimo,not-however be- fore carrying out his threat to de- stroy the town rather than let it fall into the hands of the Bulgarians.

What Do You Know About That? Capt.Carlton's Unanswered Inquiry and Some Information and Specu- lation About Hornets,: A Landmark*man was admiring a fine large hornet’s nest in Capt.P.C, Carlton’s office the other day when the captain remarked that notwithstand- ing diligent search of books and in- quiry among people,he had _never been able to learn where hornets stay in winter.Some.people say they stay in the ground,but who in dig- ging or plowing ever saw any hornets in the ground?asks the captain.Oth-ers say the hornets stay in old dead trees in.winter,but who ever saw hornets in a dead tree?again asks the captain,and these questions re- main unanswered.And so all these years Capt.Carlton’s quest of thewinterresortofthehornetshasbeen fruitless.*Had you thought about it and have you any idea where hornets stay in winter? One who has looked into the mat- ter says one hornet begins the workofbuildingthebignestsyousome-times see,such as Capt.Carlton has in his office.After the one hornetstartsthenestaneggislaid.Whenthatishatchedmorehornetsaread- ded for nest building,and so on un- til there is a colony. Another thing Capt.Carlton has thought about the hornets,is what they will do for material to make nests when the fences are all gone. The hornets gather from weather- beaten wooden fences,especially old rail fences,the material for nests. The rail fences have about disap- peared—an old-fashioned rail fence being almost a curiosity;and soon wooden fences of any kind will be un- known,wire taking the place of wood for fencing.But doubtless the hor- nets are aware of this and are looking out for other material for nests. North Iredell.Road Controversy— Yadkin Citizen Has a Say. Correspendence of The Landmark. _Jennings,R-l,-March 24—Let a citizen of Yadkin county have a word in regard to the controversy about the way the good road should run in north Iredell.I am sure that the er- der made by the honorable board of county commissioners was not made for the sole purpose of benefiting the one man referred to in last week’s is- sue of The Landmark by Gump-Head. i am personally acquainted with the gentleman referred to by Gump-Head and know him to be a patriotic citi- zen,interested in his own county and town There is a public road running through this section and it was here more than a hundred years ago.Most all of the travel from Surry and Yad- kin counties was going this road to Statesville.If this road was built to the Yadkin county line it would not stop in an owl den but connect with a good road and a good farming sec- tion,a section that lies between big Hunting creek in Iredell county and Little Hunting creek in Yadkin.This would give our farmers and mer- ehants an outlet to the Statesville market,which I have always found better than the Elkin market.I have been a citizen of Iredell county and am acquainted with part of the board of commissioners.They have done good work for their county and Ifeelsurethattheboardwillnotbuild| roads for any one man or for Mr. Gump-Head Would suggest that if there are any fatted calves to be weaned this spring that they begin further south where|:the grass comes earlier and grows higher.YADKIN CITIZEN.| ee i Lady Has Carried the Mail For 23 _~Years.

THEOCTO-DECILLIONOF FLIES: Talking ‘About Flies in Numbers That Make One’s Head Swim. To thé Editor of The Landmark:ae It.is believed by some persons that the patriarch Noah made at least two mistakes in his life—one when he indulged to excess,or even touched, the fruit of the-vine,and another when he permitted a housefly to en- ter the ark and survive the deluge. We have read that one adult female fly living on the first of April will have 120 adult descendants.in two weeks and these will each have as many more in two more weeks,and so on through the summer.At this rate the generation on the first of Oc- tober was nearly nine septillion, last generation of the first summer after the flood (place 21 cyphers af- ter 8916 to approximate this number.) As this makes no a!lowance for dudes,dudines and deatns before ma- turity,it may seem more reasonable to allow each generation to be ten times as many as thé last.At thisratethegenerationonOctoberIst would be only one trillion.Suppose that these sleep till April,then con- tinue their prosperity.Now the mean diameter of the earth is 7,920 miles,each mile 63,- 360 inches in length,and if it were dropped through a newspaper large enough it would removea little more than 197 quadrillion square inches.By July 1st the one quintillion fliesefthatgencrationwouldbeenough to follow the earth through the pa-per,one fly in each square inch and five flies in succession.On August ist it would increase to 500 inches— -—s#ee, one fly in each inch.September Ist50,000 inches,October Ist 5,000,000 inches,or nearly 79 miles.On next May Ist to 7,900 miles;on\tuly Ist).79,(00,000 inches,which at the dis- tance of the sun from us—near 100 million miles—would make a tail like a comet tail long enough to reach from sunset to halfway overhead.On August Ist this tail would be tentimesaswideandtentimesasthick. On September ist they would make 100 and on October Ist 10,000 such comet tails.Now annex twelve noughts for the six summer months of the next year and we have 100 oc- to-decillion of flies;enough for tenquadrillioncomettails79million miles long and nearly 8¢thousand miles in diameter mace of that gen- eration of flies—one fly being in each cubic inch.By August of the next summer you can increase this one million times to the 66th genera- You will then have 100 vigin-tion.tillion of lady flies and Noah’s old- est grandson hasn’t got started to public schoo!yet.Isn’t truth strang- er than fiction?Flies are fond of holding carnivals, and besides not driving stobs in the streets like other carnivals,they are said to be very extensive contribu- tors to the support of hospitals and similar enterprises on account of the The Primary and Why the Politicians Oppose It..oe Greensboro News. dhe primary system is not a “cure-all”for the many evils of our politi-« tal system,but when backed by safe-uards is the best plan that has been levised so far to ascertain a correct register of popular sentiment.A pri-mary election is less easy to controlthanaconvention,and for that reas- on demands consideration.The way some politicians have fought primary You Are Losing Money Every Day By not having good CLOCK in the house.You have’ to wait on your meals,while if you had one of myClockstheywouldbeready.Ask your wifeifitisn’tso.

REPORT OF TITHE -GATHERER. ‘Old Papers That Are a Reminder oftheDaysoftheConfederacy. Recently:when Mr.Tom Bailey wasringtomovefromSharpesburg to Stony Point he sord some things that he didn’t want to carry to his new home.Deputy Sheriff C.-E.Jones,who was at the sale,bought‘some old books and in the books he found some old papers that are acuriositytothisgeneration.The pa-pers,which Mr.Jones.kindly brought to The Landmark,gre the,blank forms used by the tithe-gatherers or iassessors for the Confederate govern- ment.Probably few of the young people of this period know that during thattimeofstormandstressfrom1861to 1865,variously known as the war be- tween the States and the civil war,the Confederate government assess-ed the farmers part of their agri¢ul-tural products for the support of thearmyinthefield..The amount taken was usually a tenth.The two papers found by Mr.Jones,each headed “No. 4,”are printed forms for the tithe- gatherers,as those who collected the assessment or tithe were called,and begin as follows:; “Form of the estimate of agri- cultural products agreed upon by the assessor and taxpayer,and-the val- ue of the portion thereof to which the government is entitled,which are taxed in kind,in accordance with the provisions of section 11 of ‘an act to lay taxes for the common defence and.carry on the government of the Confederate States;said estimate and assessment to be made as soon as the crops are ready for market.’Then follow blank spaces for the “quantity of gross crop,quality,tithe or one- tenth,value of one tenth.”The va- rious agricultural precucts are named in a printed list as rollows:Wheat, corn,oats,rye,buckwheat,rice, sweet potatoes,Irish potatoes,cured hay,cured fodder,sugar,molasses made of cane,cotton,wool,tobacco, peas,beans,ground peas.”At the bottom is a certificate which the far- mer had to sign,making oath before the assessor that he had given in the full amount of his crop;also blank for the “post quartermaster”to sign, he being the individual who receipted the assessor or tithe-gatherer for the tithes collected and turned in. FLOODS OVERWHELM.ems White river drains a valley in themiddlesouthernportionoftheStatewheremanytownsandsmallcitieshavebeenaffected.Smaller streamsthroughoutthevalleys,all tributarytooneortheotherofthethreeprin-cipal rivers,are swollen and causingmoreorJessdamage.jFlooddeathsmaynever be ac-curately known and probably it willbeseveraldaysbefore,even approxi- mately correct figures may be ob-tained.Efforts of all flood reliefworkersweredirectedtowardrescu-ing persons still in dangerous ‘placesandrelievingthesufferingandwantsofthehomeless.Reports of death and -destructioncomefromConnersville,Brookville, Metamora,Cedar Grove,Trenton,Fort Wayne,Logansport,LaFayette, New Castle;Rushville,Muncie andTerréHaute:In Indianapolis,espe- cially in West Indianapolis,the floodwassevere.The work of rescue had not been.completed in the latterplaceWednesdaynight.More than500hadbeentakentoonelanding station.Poorer classes constitute a majority of the population in that section of the city and nearly all of them lived in one-story homes,whichwerecoveredbythewater.It is this situation that makes uncertain the es- timates on the loss of life,as there is no manner of telling how many en-tire families may have been trapped in these little dwellings. Many~women rescued in WestIndianapolisweretakenfromtheir flooded homes unconscious,or “Stic- cumbed to the excitement after real- izing they were safe.Physicians were unable to meet the demands for medi- cal attention for the refugees and worked at a great disadvantage,for all the flood victims suffered much exposure after being removed from the water. Indianapolis street cars remain standing in ‘the streets where they were stopped Tuesday morning when the power house was flooded,all in- terurban lines are ac astandstill and the steam roads are having poor suc- cess in getting trains out of the city. At Peru,Ind.,the number drown- ed is estimated at 50.to 150,225 in- jured or sick removed to temporary hospitals and 7,500 homeless.Win- ter quarters of a big circus menag- erie were destroyed,about 500 valua- jble animals being drowned,including lions,bears,camels,elephants,ponies, One of the blanks found by Mr. Jones was the return made by David} Scroggs,who lived south of States-| ville,of his crop made in 1863.Mr.| Scroggs returned 46 dushels of wheat,| 15 of rye,12 of bucnwheat and 400)pounds of cured fodder.From this| small store the government took 4) 4-10 bushels of wheat,valued at $26.- 40;1 1-2 bushels of rye,valued at $3; 1 2-10 bushels of buckwheat,valued at $6,and 40 pounds of fodder val-| ued at 80 cents.L.V.Campbell (Leonidas),who lived in north Ire- dell,signed the certificate as assess-or.On back of the blank is a memo-| randum written in ink,which shows|that in addition to the above amount| Mr.Scroggs turned in 36 pounds ofbaconand16bushetsofcorn.This memorandum is signed by C. ell,who lived in the Olin community, and who seems to have been a quar-termaster or something of that sort| who received the tithes from Assess- or Campbell. The other blank,exact duplicate of| the first,bears the return of R.M.| Grant,who lived in north Iredell.Mr. Grant returned as his crop in 1863— both returns dated October 24—25 bushels of wheat,160 bushels of corn, 40 bushels of oats,12 bushels of rye, 800 pounds cured hay,650 pounds cur- ed fodder and seven pounds of wool. From Mr.Grant the assessor took as toll 2 3-10 bushels wr wheat,valued at $13.80;four bushels of oats,val- ued at $8;1 2-10 bushels of buck-wheat,valued at $6;80 pounds of hay,valued at $1.60;65 pounds fod- der,valued at $1.30,and 7-10 of a pound of the small supply of wool, valued at $2.10.The tithe of Mr. Grant's corn isn’t clear,but it seems for some reason he was only assess- ed on 60 bushels instead of 160,the government taking six bushels,whichit,welend at $26;and in Quartermas- ter Howell’s written memorandum on | the back of the blanx Grant is cred- ited with 40 pounds of bacon in ad- dition to the above. The Landmark is indebted to Capt. I C.Carlton for information as to the parties named in the blanks,all of whom were known to him,and for other information in connection withthereturns.It will be noted thatpricesoffarmproductsruledhighin1863,rated in Gonfederate mon-ey.But imagine if you can,you ofthisgeneration,how it would feel tohaveagovernmentofficercomeround,Swear you as to the amount of yourcropandthentake«and carry awayatenthofeverything,even down toafractionofapound?Hard lines?Well,somewhat.But it was the pa-triot’s duty ‘to support the govern-ment and the man #ho dodged wasdoubtlessdiscredited|among hisneighbors,which cannot be said ofthetax-dodger in this day.

Citizens,finding lawlessness in every block of the city above water,or- ganized a vigilance committee with orders to shoot looters.Wednesday night several thousand persons were till marooned in the court house,in hospitals,factory buildings and other structures.The day was spent jn rescuing survivors who had climbed to perilous positions om ity roofs.Ten men who had remained for two days on top of the tank at the water- works became panic-stricken at the sight of the first rescue boat.Most of them fell into the water in attempt- ing to jump into the boat and several of them were carried away. The Governor of Indiana,who is de- |voting all the resources at his com. mand to rescue work,appealed to the |people of the State for aid.In most jof the places the water supply was jcut off and impure water and the effects of the overflow will leave a plague of sickness in the wake of the |flood. Ss A dispatch from Chicago says from |figures compiled from reports receiv- led Wednesday afternoon it is esti- }mated that 3,000 persons may have |perished in the deluge which swept jthe northern half of the Ohio river ivalley Tuesday and Wednesday.Prob- jably half a million people were made |homeless by the flood in Indiana and Ohio and property damage in both |States will be at leas<$100,000,000. |Railroad officials were authority for jthe statement that lines convergingjintoIndianapoliswouldhavetostandjalossof$25,000,000 in that city and L¥icinity alone.Railroads suffered jmuch and wire service was greatly |hampered. |A panic was caused at Columbus,/0.,Wednesday afternoon when patrol|wagons dashed througn High street warnihg people to fiee for their lives.The police had received a report that the storage dam,‘which furnishes the city its supply,had broken and was sweeping down upon the city billions of gallons of water.In the downtown district and throughout the city the wildest excitement ensued until it was found the report was not true. Gevernment Gives Aid, The principal work of the govern- ment Wednesday was to extend re- lief to the thousands of homeless survivors of the Ohio and Indiana floods.In quick succession every agency of the government from the President,the Secretary of War,to every bureau chief in the depart- ments,under whom relief expeditions could be organized,moved swiftly to assist the State authorities in provid- ing food,shelter and medical atten- tion for the sufferers. All the troops of the Department of the East were ordered to -chold themselves in readtness for duty intheflooddistricts.One million ra- tions,sufficient to feed 200,000 people for five days at least,are being pur- chased by the War Department at the nearest supply depots and hur-ried to the Ohio and Indiana towns.Tents to shelter at least 50,000 -peo-ple,thousands of blankets,cots,~pital and field supplies,are beingloadedinthePhiladelphia,Pittsburg,St.Louis,Chicago,‘Fort Thomas,Kentucky and nearby army posts andwithin24hoursshouldreachthede-vastated sections,Messages of sympathy exchangedbythePresidentandtheGovernorsofOhioandIndianawerefollowedquicklybyaseriesofrequestsforhelpwhich.were promptly answeredbythegovernmenteepartments.ThePresidentwasinhisofficealldayinclosetouchwiththesituation.HewasinconstantcommunicationwithSecretaryGarrisonoftheWarDe-partment.He apprised ChairmanMartinoftheSenateandFitzgeraldoftheHouseappropriationscommit-tee that the government was goingahead.with emergency expenditures on the assumption 1 ter on.They both wired promises ofheartyeoreereandanlageSeteedoneverysideforagiganticworkofrelief.The President called upon’thepeopleofthenationtocontributemoneyliberallytotheAmericanRedCross,which in turn appealed to theGovernorsoftheStatestohelpgath-er relief funds.The Red Cross andotherreliefagenciespromptly’putmachineryin:motion and all possibleisbeingdoneforthefloodsufferers, A BETROTHAL OF INTEREST.

Representative Webb says his liq- uor law puts the matter squarely up to the States.If there are any Stateswhowishtopasslawsprohibiting the shipment of liquor into said State,the Webb law is just so strong that it will turn that very trick.In other words,the law upholds the ac- tion of the States.For illustration, if there are enough members of the North Carolina Legistature willing to, vote for a prohibition measure that will say liquor must not be shipped into North Carolina to any one,or even limit it to drug stores,hospit- als and physicians,the Webb law will see to it that no one else gets a ship- ment of liquor.The express compa- nies will not ship It.It is rumoredaroundWashingtonthattheprohibi- tionists are going to ask the Legisla- ture to pass just such a law as issuggestedabove. If the Webb law stands good be- fore the courts it has dealt the mostsevereblowtoliquortraffic.The pro- bitionists cannot come back to Con- gress and ask for any further legisla- tion to curtail the sale of whiskey in the States.Congress has enacted ‘a law that will make it possible for any State to have prohibition fust as strong as the State wants it.TheWebblawputsitsquarelyuptotheStates.
