Sheriff Deaton and Mr.mpson made a quick trip to Yad-kinvil!automobile,going over in the morn-“ing and reverning in the afternoon.Yadkin Superior Court is in sessionthisweek,Judge Long presiding.Mr.Thompson’s business was to look af-ter a case for a client,while the sher-iff was summoned as a witness in asuitfor$10,000 damages institutedagainstcertainIredellcitizensby Cleve McBryde,who is more or lessknowntofameasablockader.The McBryde suit was not tried, hence the short stay of the States-ville gentlemen in Yadkinville.WhileMcBrydefiguredonthecivilsideofthedocketasplainuff,he also ap- peared on the criminal side as defend- ant.The criminal case was tried Tuesday and McBryde was convicted of manufacturing liquor.He was or-dered into custody,sentence to bepassedlater:The sheriff didn’t keep a very close eye on McBryde and thatcitizentookadvantageoftheoppor- tunity to make himself scarce.Heevidentlyfiguredthatitwasbettertomakeaget-away and escape a possi- ble term on the roads,than to stayandprosecuteadamagesuitand take chances on getting nothing anddoingroadduty,too.Anyway whentheylookedforMcBrydehisplace Was vacant and when the civil case in which he was plaintiff was called a non-suit was taken. McBride and Raymond Hayes,an- other young man of Yadkin,were convicted of blockading Tuesday morning and were ordered into the custody of the sheriff.A little later it was observed that McBryde had slip out of the court house and could not be found.A large posse of officers immediately began a search for him,but at last account he had not been captured.A few miles from Yadkinville the officers discovered where he had beaten a telephone wire in two with rocks.Young Hayes is a son of Jas.Hayes,at whose home McBryde was cared for after being shot by the Iredell officers until he could be brought to Statesville jail. Anent McBryde's damage suit,it will be recalled that two years ago or more Deputy Sheriff J.D.Joyner, Marshall,Mel and Charles Grose and J.C.Renegar,citizens of ioae pa wnship,this county,went after Mc-Brvde,he was wanted for blockad-ing liquor.McBryde attempted to escape,was fired on and seriously wounded,the shooting taking placeintheedgeofYadkincounty.All the Iredell citizens named were indict-ed in Yadkin Superior Court and all acquitted except Marshall Grose.He was fined and the affair cost him about $150,Later McBryde brought a civil action in Yadkin court for $10,- 000 damages,the five citizens named being defendants. Yadkin court adjourned yesterday and Sheriff Deaton went to Yadkin- ville yesterday afternoon to bring Judge Long home.Mrs.Long ac-companied the sheriff on the trip.

If the tariff bill puts all the cot- ton mills out of business—which it will not do—the cotton growers and the cotton mill laborers would of course be seriously affected.But if the cotton mills continue to do busi- ness,as they .will,the mill #perativesknowtheywillgetfortheirlaborthe price the labor market commands,and no more,whether the mill’s profit bewanna!+h- protected manufacturers have talked about the “pauper labor of Europe” as a sort of “raw-head and bloody bones”to frighten children;and all the time they have had the advantage of a high tariff they have utilized this same “pauper labor”—the foreign element that comes in _practically without restriction—to the fullest ex- tent possible.In the textile centers of the North the labor is almost en- tirely foreign and the wages paid,as the reports show,are little if any more than is paid abroad.In the South native help is employed but it is in the main because the foreign labor is not available.In most casesitwouldbeusedifobtained.Only a few years ago a bunch of English cotton mill operatives were brought to the Observer’s.town of Charlotte. They were not used because a prose- cution was started to show that they had been imported in violation of the alien contract labor law.This state-ment of facts does not apply to tex- tile industries alone but to all em- ployers of laber.Labor is paid ac- cording to its efficiency and availa- bility.An efficient laborer is not dis- charged because his place can be filledforless,but he is not paid more sim- ply because his employer is makingmoneywhenanothermanequallyas efficient can‘be had for the same mon-ey.The professed zeal of the pro- tected interests for labor is,general-ly ing,the veriest tommy-rot. As for the farmers,experience hasabundantlydemonstratedtothemthattheywiligetthemarketpricefor r cotton and no more,regardless of whether mills are doing well orill,A.mill man would be consideredunfitforhisjobwhodidnotbuycottonatthelowestpricepossible,re- a of what the mill is making only certain way for the farmers|lx te be sure of a good price for cottoristoplantasmailcrop.

With good behavior he will be en- titled to ask for parole within eight months.Hence the department of- ficials do not consider the report of the Asheville physicians warrant them in recommending clemency in the case of Breese.

FRIDAY,May 2,1913. “It’s the cotton farmer who will be “yuint,”they tell us now,if the cot- ton schedule of the tariff bill stands. ‘Alas the poor farmer!.He would be utterly undone if he didn’t have alot of disinterested (7)people to tell him what is and what is not good for him. Someyears”ago when the Farmers’ ‘Alliance and the Populist party were in flower,one heard much complaint of the government lending the nation- al banks money without interest.The banks carrying government deposits have always contended that the ac- count was not one of large profit, which is true except for advertising purposes.Now that Uncle Sam is going to make the bankers _come across with 2 per cent interest on deposits the situation is changed and the howl from the protected tariff in- terests may be temporarily drowned by the howl from the bankers. Anent “happening to an accident,” a cultured lady reader.of The Land- mark cites ‘this paper to First Sam- uel,6:9,which reads as follows: “And see,if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh,then he hath done us great evil:but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us;it was a chancethathappenedtous.” That seems to be all right.The late J.P.Caldwell,who constantly ridiculed “happened to an accident,” always wanted to know why it was the accident didn’t happen to the in- dividual instead of the individual hap- pen to an accident.The Scripture quoted has it,“a chance that happen- ed to us,”not us that happened to the chance.See? Members of Congress who think it their business to at all times stand for the special interests of their dis- tricts or State or section,regard- less of the interests of the country as a whole,are fittingly rebuked in this statement from Oscar Under- wood,the Democratic leader,made on the floor of the House Wednesday: “If I could not represent my con- stituency and at the same time thepleoftheUnitedStateswithoutinvolvingmyselfasaspecialpleader for interests in my district,I would be unworthy of my position in thisHouse.“ “I contend that when representa- tives of the pecple stand in this House,exercising the power to tax of this country,that it is at unbecoming for them to display a selfish interest in these matters. Thetimehaspassed when the lawsofthiscourtrywillbewrittenfor special intereste;when men can come and ask for legislation to convertdollarsfromthepocketsofthemass- es into their own that they may grow rich.” The people whomay think the State of California has the right to pass any sort of laws it chooses,regardless of treaties the.Federal government may have with foreign countries, would do well to study clause 2 of article 6 of the constitution of the United States,which a reader of the Monroe Journal has called to the at- tention of that paper.The paragraph reads: “yrs constitution,and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof;and all treaties made,or which shall be made,under the authority of the United States,shall be the supreme law of the land;and the judges ineveryStateshallbeboundthereby,anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwith-standing.” California can pass alien land laws but if anything in any law passed by that State,or any other State,is held by the Federal courts to be in conflict with any treaty the Federal government may have madé or maymake,with foreign countries,thentheStatelawisvoid, Death in the Coal Mines Last YearShowDecrease.

At Rochester,N.Y.,Wednesday night detectives arrested Theodore L. Lee,a negro,28 years old,who they say is wanted in Fayetteville,N.C., on two charges of murder dating from 1911.The police say Lee hag confess- ed the killing of one McDougald. Widows and other relatives of de- ceased bankrupts won a victory in the United States Supreme Court, which has held that only the cash surrender value of insurance poli- cies go to the trustee in bankrupt- cy for creditors and the remainder to the widows or other relatives of bank-rupts. At midnight Wednesday approxi- mately 160 Baltimore barrooms closed for good,because of the refusal of the liquor license beard to renew their license.Taking the stand that there were too many saloons in Baltimore the board began a crusade of elimina- tion which touched every section of the city.The loss in tax revenue will amount to about $160,000, Three prominent white men of Hampton county,S.C.,one a physi- cian,another a magtstrate,were kill- ed and several others wounded in a pitched battle Wednesday afternoonandnight,with Richard Austin,anegroaccusedofattemptingtocrimi- nally assault a white woman atLuray,8.C.The negro took refugein@swampand,armed.with a pia-tol and shotgun,gave battle.Wed-nesday night he escaped fram the.swamp.

Now that our public schools have closed with their entertainments; everybody has settled down for the summer's work,with little hope of any other recreation until crops are “laid by.”It is gratifying to see our farmers each year becoming more in- terested in soil building.With Amer- ica’s increasing population,the coun- try is becoming aroused to the neces. me of conservative farming. he good work Mrs.Orr has be- gun deserves much commendaticn and should be adopted in other schools. We hope to learn something of the methods she employed.Too many of the accomplished (7)young women of our towns and the country are mostly skilled in the art of fancywork,music,etc.,while the culinaryartandthethingsmostessentialtorealhome-making are considered toomenialforthemtoperform.They need to be instructed in the plain,everyday duties of life as well as theartistic.

There is not a business man in this town who has a heartfelt interest in the community that would not gladly co-operate and give financial aid to an institution of this kind.Then we would have a institution for our peo- ple and by our people and one that would not revert to Carnegie to be used perhaps for some purpose which we would not desire.

Reno Crowded With Seekers For Easy Divorce. Reno,Nev.,Dispatch. Never has this city witnessed such a crowd of women and men seeking divorces,particularly the former,in its hotels,apartment houses and cot- tages,walking its streets and flock- ing to its places of entertainment, cafes and resorts. Fully 700 of such temporary resi- dents are here for no other purpose than securing a legal separation from their “husbands or wives.They are spending an enforced seven to nine months in any manner which will most pleasantly “kill time”until they are maritally freed. Unquestionably the tinal rush for a Nevada decree is in full swing.The three leading hotels,wnich have been housing many of these so-called res- idents,are literally swamped.Every train from the East adds to the throng,who manage to secure quar- ters somewhere. There is hardly a modern cottage available,although other divorcees, having secured their decrees,are de parting each others.The cafes are running at high tension,the music cont/nuing frequently until the early morning hours. set aside entire days of each week for divorce businesa, witnessing 14 trials. Name of Reactionary Withdrawn Was Sent in By Mistake. Washington Dispatch,April 25,to Greensboro News. That “progressive”Democrats ar: to be given perference for Federal positions under President Wilson was made emphatically plain today when the President withdrew the nomina tion of Norman H.Martin to be post master at Weatherford,Tex.,and sub stituted the name of J.H.Richardsor Martin was an anti-Wilson man and, according to Texas “progressives,”i a thoroughgoing reactionary in poli tics.His name went to the Senate because of an oversight on the part of Postmaster General Burleson. rreseman,..Colgwax,of Texas,M appoint Martin because of his rea: tionary itical views.Mr.BurlesonaskedMr.Callaway to find another candidate,but a clerk who had chargeofthepreparationofnominations for the President’s consideration ir cluded Martin’s name and the list wassenttotheSenatebythePresident just as it eame from the Postoffice D« partment.As soon as the Postma ter General detected the error it was called to the President’s attention and the order of withdrawal followed.

The Detroit,Mich.,Journal an- nounces the death of Mrs.Mary Con- well Barkley,wife of Rev.Dr.J.M. Barkley,pastor of Forest Avenue Presbyterian church,Detroit.Dr. Barkley,was born and reared near Statesville and has many relatives and friends hereabouts who will sympa-thize with him in his bereavement. Mrs.Barkley died Saturday,April 26,at Cleveland,Ohro.She contract~ ed pneumonia while visiting her daughter in that city.Deceased was 60 years old and is survived by a.son and two daughters.The Journal says of her:“Mrs.Barkyey was a kindly, lovable woman,and was known.to practieally every member of the con- gregation of Forest Avenue church through her social activities.She was also active for mny years in charita- ble work.”Editorially the JournalSays: “For 30 years Detroit has seen Jas. M.Barkley go in and out before us in a life work of simplicity and beau- ty.He has become known to all,not by any effort for prominence,but merely by his own nigh worth,his constant and abiding usefulness.So for him there will de a great and general sympathy in the loss of his wife,after a companionship of morethan30years.Mrs.Barkley wasknownandappreciatedbestinthe quiet circles of the church and the home.Like her husband,she did those duties which lay before her, for their own sakes,not to impress others.There are few clergymen whose work is so much a “ministry” as the work of Dr.Barkley,and her work also,her ministry in the home, lay behind the noble outward activ- ities of the pastor and the citizen. The city which knows him has al- ways rejoiced at any honor or any good that has come to him,and now extends every neighborly sentiment of sympathy in his affliction.” os .* Mr.A.T.Smith,formerly a resi- dent of Iredell and known as “The” Smith,died Friday at his home atProximity,a suburb of Greensboro, Mr.Smith was injured by a fall about ten days and this was followed by an vdieoof pneumonia,which re-sulted in his death.Mr.Smith wasabout68yearsoldandissurvived by six sons and four daughters.His wife died about three months ago.

Residents on “Sand-Clay”Streets Ask For Relief. To the Editor of The Landmark: It affords the people of Statesville, especially the ladies,much pleasure I am sure to see that we are again to have trees.I was glad to read in last Tuesday’s Landmark that the young trees on Center street are be- ing cared for;that gives us room to hope that the next generation will have that which we have been de- prived of and we muy yet be able to say,that StatesyiHe is not on!y the “best”but the “prettiest”town in North Carolina. While they are busy watering the trees on Center street we hope the aldermen and mayor will remember the.good people on the other streets who are blessed with sand-clay (7?) dust.Everybody on these streets seems to be talking about the dust butnobodyhasbeenabletoaccomplishanythingyet.With only one sprink- ler in town it would hardly be possi- ble to keep the dust down.The only way the problem can be solved is for the town authorities to have the streets sprinkled or oiled.Some one may say,“Why not let every family sprinkle in front of-their homes?” But what good does #¢do for one to sprinkle when one’s neighbor does not.The dust is carried by the mo- tor cars sometimes past three’or fourlots. Not only is it impossible for thegoodhousewivestokeepthehousesfreefromdustbutthehealthofthe people of Statesville is involved.The sick cannot even have fresh air;when the sash is raised one ts nearly choked with dust.A health bulletin.or acampaignagainstthewhiteplagueor flies seem but mockery when we are forced daily to breath nothing butgerms.

ONE OF STATESVILLE’S DAUGH-TERS. Would Collect Government RevenuesFromLiWashingtonDispatch. Nearly the entire expense of run- ning the government may be met from the income tax and the taxes on whiskey and beer if a bill introdue- ed by Representative Vaoghn of Tex- a3 is adopted by Congress.The Texas statesman declares that at least $180,- 000,000 in annual profits that now go to the brewers and distillers can easily be turned into the United States treasury. The plan is to place the internal revenue tax on mart and spirituous liquors at exactly the same figures as the tariff duties on these arti- cles.That would produce a condi- tion whereby foreign liquors couldcomeintocompetitionwiththepro- ducts of American.distillesies and breweries on etjual basis.The pres- ent ‘tax rate on whiskey is $1.10 per gallon;the import duty is $2.60,a protection of 7150 per gallon to the distilleries,according to (Mr. Vaughn's calculations.He would put the internal revenue tax at $2.80 pergallonsothattheprotectivediffer- ential in favor of the Americay.dis- tilleries would be wiped out.He fig- ures that more foreign liquors wouldbeimpdrtedandlessdistilledinthis country with the result of reducing the liquor making industry of the United States.

The Southern Railway Company filed today with the corporation com- mission its answer to the complaint of 75 or more prominent shippers in central and western Carolina alleg- ing that the Southern has for years been overcharging for freight on in- tra-State shipments by the wrongful application of high Western division- al rates on inter-divtsional shipments. The answer amounts simply to insist- ence that the charges that have been applied are the lawful rates on the shipments involved. The commission has set May 23 as the date for the hearing in the case, thi in the office of the com- mission in Raleigh.Involved in this case is the demand for the refund of a large sum in overcharges,as.well to be as the discontinuance of the practice of the alleged misapplication of rates. State statutes allow the Southern to} charge higher rates on certain divis- ions in western Carolina,because of higher cost of maintenance and oper- ation,and these higher rates have been and are being applied to inter-di- visional shipments originating or_ter- minating in these high-rate divisions. |Asheville Street Car Strike Adjusted By Increased Wages.

Accordingto all outward and visi- le evidence,citizens of Iredell county are much more prosperous than ever before in the history of the county. We believe this staterhent would be generally accepted.Yet in the face of this fact The Landmark is printing today about the biggest delinquent tax list it has ever carried.What is the matter?We are constrained to be- lieve it is not so much a lack of means to pay,or at least the ability to have provided the means to meet the claims of the State and county.It must be rather that.at least 75 per cent of the delinquents simply neglected to pay.The number of people who do not pay taxes until compelled to do so seems to be growing.Last week the city tax collector advertised de- linquents.About one-third of those on the list paid up just in time to escape publicity,their names being taken out after the list was in type. Most of them on nearly all of them could have paid six months ago just as well.They simply objected to parting with money for taxes until the last minute.This must account for the large number in the sheriff's list.But whatever be the cause,the advertisement is not a good one for the county nor for its citizenship.A reform in the matter of paying taxes 1 or in the method of collecting is needed, The California Legislature has passed the anti-alien land-holding act, to which the Japanese government so atrenuously objects and which result- ed in a trip of Secretary of State Bryan to California.The Governor will not sign the bill until he has heard from President Wilson,but that he will sigh it despite any pro- tests,is conceded.The bill may be tested in the courts,if it be consider- ed a violation of treaty rights.In any event the Federal government will try to satisfy Japan as best it can. How Clemmer Got in the Limelight and Got a Hearing at Home. Monroe Enquirer. Mr.George 8B.Clemmer,a yourig man about 20 years old,delivered an address in the court house last Tues- day night and a large crowd heard it. Mr.Clemmer moved to Monroe recent- ly from Anson county and if he had come here from his home among the|hills of Anson and “put out word”| \that he would speak on a certain night in the court house,not over half 'a dozen people would have turned out _lerease in the mortality from the dis- |males. Increase In Mortality From Pellagra. Greensboro Record. Medical science is baffled over pellagra and has been since it was discovered,but it is still on the job. What causes it has not yet been de- termined,but there is one queer thing about it—more women than men are subject to it.There was a large in- ease in 1911,when 659 deaths were reported in the registration area. During the early part of the decade 1900 to 1909 the-mortality reported from this diseasé was insignificant, two deaths being returned for 1900, two for 1903,and one for 1904.In 1908 there occurred twenty-three deaths,all in Southern cities.A large increase was shown for 1909,durin which 116 deaths were reported — a still greater increase for 1910,when there ~rere 368 deaths.The mortal-ity of 659.for 1911,as compared with 368 for 1910,indicates an increase of 79 per cent.It is questionable,how-ever,if this should be.considered ‘rep- resentative of the actual increase in the mortality.As in previous yearstheexcessofwomenvictimswasvery large,464,or 70.4 per cent.,being fe-Federal,State and municipalhealthofficialsareexercisedoverthespreadofthediseaseandaredoin, what they can to combat it.The dif- to hear him.But Clemmer is a shrewd ;young man and they who have ex- amined him say there is nothing wrong with his think works. young man knew that folks do not fall over themselves to hear an ob- scure young man talk and that the average man is anxious to see the man who is in the limelight,and he pro- ceeded to get in the limelight.HewentuptoWashington,went to theSenatechamberinthecapitoland while that hall was packed at the opening of the present Congress he stood up and proclaimed that he was the herald of the Prince of Peace and that he must be heard.They put him out of the Senate chamber quick- er than it takes to tell—but the name of George Clemmer went from one end of the country to another—and now when he tells tne folks that he will deliver the message that he in- |tended to deliver in the Senate cham- jber he gets a crowd.They would not hear him in Washington.They heard him in Monroe.The address Mr. The tariff bill will probably pass |Clemmer delivers is nrong moral lines the House tomorrow.So far the Dem-jand is a very good'one,but there are ia number of 20-year.wtd boys over theocraticmajorityhasstoodbythepro-\country who can deiiver just as good visions of the bill as agreed on by |#?address—porhaps a better one—the ways aang agwinittes Freak jthan Mr.Clemmer delivers,but they wool,free sugar in three years,the |he does,|cannot gather together a crowd like Clemmer has a pretty goodcutinthecottonscheduleandother|knowledge of hyman nature.»He is provisions that persons interestec sought.to have changed.The bill wil_probably pass the House just asit | came from the committee but it is jjusing that knowledge.He wanted toi|get in the limelight and he got in.|‘aenemeannteneennieentianentenetiteiea |For Weakness and Loss of Appetite|The Old Standard general strengthening tonic, doubtful if it gets through the Senate |GROVES TASTELESSchillTONIC,drivesout that way.

Felix Diaz,the Cabinet,and repre- sentatives of all parties in both hous- es of Congress. General Diaz is expected’to be the leading candidate for the presidency. Many people believe,however,that race and it is suggested that Fran- cisco de la Barra,Minister for For- eign Affairs,in the Provisional gov- ernment,also might be a candidate.

The new Chinese republic was for- mally recognized today by the United States,Charge Williams,at Peking, cabled that he had delivered the for- mal recognition as he was authorized to do upon complete organization.of the new government.This govePament’s action has cre- ated an interesting international sit- uation.It brings to the point the in- tentions of the five other powers,par- ties to the six-power loan negotia- tion,from which the United States recently withdrew,announcing|its urpose to recognize China and urg- ing the others to do so.It is known that some of them'at least required more than a mere organization of the National Legislature and that they stallation of a constitutional Presi- dent.On the other hand,the recent action of Yuan’Shi Kai in concludingaloanfor$125,000,000 with the five- power group,is expected to prove a powerful ipcentive to those govern-ments to support Yuan Shi Kai.by joining in China's recognition. The formal recognition of the Unit- ed States was extended when Charge Williams delivered to President Yuan Shi Kai the following message from President Wilson:“The government and people of the United States of America,having abundantly testified their sympathywiththepeopleofChinaupontheir assumption of-+the attributes-and powers of self-government,deem it opportune at this time,when the rep resentative National Assembly has met to discharge the high duty of setting the seal of full accomplishment upon the aspirations of the Chinese people,that I extend,in the name of my government and of my country men,a greeting of welcome to the new China thus entering into the fam ily of nations. “In taking this step I entertain the confident hope and expectation that in perfecting a republican form of government,the Chinese nation will attain to the highest degree of de velopment and.well-being and that TAX THOSE WHO HAVE ESCAPED The Income Tax,Levied on Wealth,Will Relieve the Masses of the Peo-| ple Who Pay Most of the.TariffTaxesandtheLocalTaxes.~~ Discussing the income tax in Con- thor of the income tax,provision ofthetariffbill,replied te the sugges-tion,that the income tax’is class leg-islation and a distinction between cit-izens of largé means and those with-out particular means,He answeredthatitspurposeistoreachfortaxa-tion those who have escaped taxes andaremostabletobearthem.He de- clared -the masses of the people are paying most of the $312,000,000 tar-iff taxes and most of the State and local taxes,save in a few.States, “Where then,”he asked,“is the in-justice of requiring the receivers ofincomesmorethan$4,000 to equalize in some measure these tax burdens by contributing less than $100,000 000 to the Federal treasury?”i“It would be monstrous,”continuedMr.Hull,“to say that the réceivers of great incomes,drawn from every section of the country,may segregatethemselvesanduponthepleaofse- gregation or-sectignalism,success-fully exempt their wealth from taxa- tion.They should invoke the plea of cegregation and not sectionalism.”. The tax,he said,is fair,productive, responsive to changes in rates and cheap of collection.No honest tax- payer has anything to fear.Ayainst the assertion that the tax was upon thrift,industry and profit,Mr.Hull replied that the tariff’was a tax up- on consumption,want,poverty and even misery and added that the pro- posed income tax was measured by net profits or gains,not imposed upon gross income nor capital nor other property.He characterized the in- gress,Mr,Hull of Tennessee,the au-|: We have a big stock of LAWN -MOWERS from the cheapest to the very best,Grass Gatchers,Lawn Hose,Screen{Doors and Windows.

Majority of ®)Votes Against theProposition—-Ihe.Municipal.Elec-tion Tuesday.t The Carnégie library-roposition was defeated in the municipal prima-ry Tuesday by a majority of 80 votes.The total vote for the library was 164andthevoteagainstitwas244.But for the library question an electi«nwouldhardlyhavebeennecessary,as there’was no opposition to the Dem-ocratic mynigipa!ticket named in the‘primary;and certainly the electionwouldhavebeendevoidofinterest had the library question been elimi- nated.Following was the vote.bywards: First ward—For mayor.!.,C.Cald- well 64;aldermen,R.V.Brawley 65, T.N.McElwee 55;members graded school board,J.C.Fowler 62,H.A.

The only changes are in the case of Mr.McElwee end Mr.Yount.The former succeeds Mr.1.L.Sloan ac alderman from the first ward,Mr Sloan having moved out of the ward, and Mr.Yount succeeds ir.Wm Wallace as a member of the school board. It will be noticed that the library had smal!majorities in its favor in the first and second wards and ranonlytwovotesbehindinthefourth, while.it failed to get half the vote in the third ward.The board of aldefmen is expected to meet tonight to organize for the new administration.It is hardly probable that any business of conse- quence will be transacted tonight, however.So far as known City Tax Collector Neely if the only one of the officers who will have opposition,itbeingunderstoodthatMr.J.R.Alex-' ander is an applicant for the place. THE DELAY AT LOOKOUT. Southérn Power Company Claims It is Being Held Up on the Price of Property. Early last winter it was announced that the Southern Power Company would develop its Lookout ShoalspropertyontheCatawbariver.lre- deli and Catawba people got busy, each anxious to secure the location of the plant in their respective coun- ties.A Statesville delegation went to Charlotte to see Mr.Lee,vice president of the company,and came away with a comfortable hope that Iredell would win.The location would be settled in a short time,Mr. Lee said.Then the whole matter dropped out of sight.It was under- steed the company was being ©held up for big money on certain tracts of land it wanted and this was caus- ing delay.Here is some information from the Newton News:: “A representative of the Southern Power Company was here this week and in discussing the building of the proposed dam and pewer station ontheCatawbariveratLookoutShoals, sen that certain parties are figur- ing’on making a great speculation by the fact that they own land which the company must,have and are ask- ing extortionate prices for it.Some parties have even gone so far as tobuylandandthenofferittothecom- pany at an increased price to what they paid for it.He says that theSouthernPowerCompanyhasnever stood for such greed and extortion and they do not intend to do it in this case.***They are consid- ering a location other than Lookout and of course where they get the best terms and treatment from the citizens,there is where the stationwillbe.” The Landmark knows nothing as to the facts except what is herein stated,but it would be a great pity if greed shouid prevent the earty de- velopment:of the Lookout property.

Se uo FRIDAY,May i RD COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS: The St.Louis colored man who was freed from a larceny charge by the moving eloquence of a lawyer,and who wept his gratitude on the law- yer’s shoulder and at the same time quietly removed the attorney's watch, was a base ingrate of course,but The Landmark is sorry he didn’t get away with the watch. Col.Jo.Reece of the Greensboro Record is hereby notified that he is appointed one of the judges of the pone bread contest in Iredell .-when the affair comes off.No excuse will be taken.He’s got to show up and eat a slice of every pone on ex- hibit.Then we'll see /whether he knows as much abour it as he lets on.**,* As evidence that the -abolition of the smallpox quarantine has been ef- fective,the county superintendent of health of Guilford says if all the smallpox cases in that county the past month had been quarantined the rost to the county would have been people paid the bulk of them on the necessi!of fe.The ie of the Underwood bill is to lighten.the burdens of the masses and collect a larger share from wealth,This will result in reduction/ofprofits’of some of the highly protected industries, which have built up colossal fortunes fat the expense of the masses;and the levying of the income tax,by.which wealth will be made to contribute a larger share to the -public burdens, It may be that when the new system goes.into effect,.when’the burdens of the government are more equally distributed,the interests which have heretofore thrived “and fattened at public expense will not be so anxious to urge on the extravagant govern- ment expenditure—seeing they have to pay a large share of it—as they have done heretofdre in the hope that the large expenditure would make necessary the continuation of high tariff taxes,to cheir profit and benefit.Yes,the method of levying the taxes is to be changed,and there- in is the chief glory of the Under- wood bill.As to the destruction of the sugar industry,the great loss to the cotton goods industry,the damage to the farmer,cotton.mill wor«er, etc.,which the Observer predicts, $1,280,but without the qearanting The Landmark believes the picture is the cost was $12.The abolition of overdrawn.If it did not so bélieve, the quarantine puts it up to the indi-it would not have supported the Dem- vidual.He can be vaccinated or take the smallpox.Usually he is vaccinat- ed.Jf the quarantine is established vaccination is resisted. **, The champions of the protected in- terests,desperate in their losing fight against the Underwood.tariff bill,make all sorts of inconsistent assertions about the effect of the measure.When the free list sec- tions of the bill were under consid- eration in the House Tuesday the Re- publicans attaked the majority of the 100 paragraphs placing articles on the free list,arguing that the ad- mission of these articles free of duty would “ruin industry”and would not reduce the cost of living.Chairman Underwood pointed out that the free list must of necessity reduce the cost of living to “ruin industry”;if the cost of fiving is not reduced then in- dustry can't be ruined.It is a fa- vorite argument against free sugar that it will destroy the domestic su- gar industry,result in a great loss of revenue and will not reduce the price of sugar.If the price of sugar is not reduced it is difficult to see how the domestic sugar industry will be de- stroyed.But we see and hear strange things in a tariff argument. *~+ Again the news comes that we are to get $40,000 from the government for road building in North Carolina, and this time we hope the money is coming.A bill passed by the last Congress made an appropriation for road building—in a sort of experimen- tal and demonstrative capacity.Of the appropriation North ‘‘arolina is to wet $40,000,This ract was Srought out last year and paraded to help Senator Simmons’campaign and sev- eral counties made bids to have the money spent on theig roads.‘here it ended.A couple of months or so ago it was again announced that the money was coming.The Governor of the State is authoriced to designate the lecalities in which the money will be spent and Gov.Craig decided thathalfshouldbespentintheeastern and half in the western section of the State.He at the same time stipulat- ed that the $20,000 for the western section should be expended on the section of the Central hignway from Old Fort across the Blue Ridge.So far so good.But last week we had a fresh report—the third—that the money was coming for the road work. ‘AH the papers have paraded the sto- ry as something new and fresh ap- plications are being made to.the Governor for a share of the money. Col.Harris of the Charictte Observ- er wants the whole $40,000 spent.on the road between Charlotte al [ick~ ory Nut Gap (‘the colonel isn’t back- ward when it comes to asking),theIredellcommissionerswantsoine spent in this county.and =an,PRrob- ably none of them will be so anxiousforthemoneywhentheylearnall«the conditions attached,In the first place the county or section in which the:money is spent must pat up an equal amount for road work;no con- victs can be used on the job and the free labor employed must work un- der government supervision and reg- ulations—that is to say,work.only eight hours a day.By which it will be seen that this governrrent appro- priation has some strings to it.The money is coming all rignt--some time —but so far as we know Gov.Craig hasn't changed his mind about spend- ing half of it on the section of the Central highway across the Blue Ridge,if tne conditions can be com plied with. _In all the talk of the Underwood bill,the ways and means committee is not now considering,and never has considered,reducing taxes one penny. The committee has steadily had in view raising as much or more money than the McKinley bill,the Dingley bill,or even the Aldrich bill did.It is simply proposed to change the man- ner of laying these taxes.—CharlotteObserver. The Observer further says the bill will destroy the sugar industry of$100,000,000,will damage the cotton manufacturing industry to the extent of $200,000,009 to $300,000,000,will dama the cotton farmer,the cot- ton mi ll worker,the truck farmer whosuppliesthecottonmillworker,etc.As the idea prevails that the worth ofaSenatorormemberofCongressisged:by the amount of money he Gan get out of the Federal Treasury|are entering upon a period of-pepe baiidiags,for drainage, ocratic party when It was pledged to do the very things it is now doing. The Democrats in Congress may be fools,but having some interest in the public welfare,aside from their de- sire to hold on to power,it is difficult to believe that they would deliberate- ly set about to destroy the business of the country.‘Those interests which have enjoyed a special privilege feel that they will be ramed,for having enjoyed the privilege of taxing the masses by government favor they think they cannot live without it;but if only the judgment of the high tar- iff beneficiaries is to be accepted in sfch matters,no tarrff reduction bill worth the name can ever be passed.eae What the President Hopes to Do in the Matter of Appointments. Editorial Correspondence Greensboro Post. In the various States the President hopes to be able to put on guard in in the high pleces,not necessarily men known to have been Wilson men during the preconvention campaign, but men whose public and private acts are such that their future conduct,as a component’part of the {Vilson ad- ministration,may be made to harmon- ize with the whele.The President un- derstands that in every State there may be found the Jim Nugents,and some men who are perfectly honest in the belief that a little dishonesty may be the best policy in practical polli- tics.The Wilson fdea has not yet fully permeated rear party ranks,but it will one of these days,‘he Presi- dent is not overwhelmed when men come to him with the news that such a candidate has “organization”in- dorsements world without end.Gen- tlemen -=have been astonished beyond measure to find that the President does not bend before such a demon- stration of marvelous machine power. The President,gentlemen are slowly but surely beginning to understand, is aware that the act of rounding up a great raft of indorsements is sim- ply to be regarded as the achieve- ment of the arch-type.of machine poli- tician who has made practical polities and job-holding a life business,an achievement quite bevond the ordi- nary,or normally constituted citizen. What the President would much rath- er hear about is what a cancidate for a responsible position has done for the people as their servant,something about his predilections,his mental habits and the degree to which he has‘ been influenced -by the present-day demand for social and political re- forms.*If here and there the Presi- dent gives recognition to the forces of reaction it will be done unwit- tingly,and because he has been mis- led.And it is precisely for the reason that he desires to guard against the possibility of br-—anita +t President is proceeding very slow and very deliberately,in filling posi- tions.Some members of Congress, the writer has observed with no little pain,have made mistakes in their recommendations—they have failed to exercise a oroper and right degree of discrimination,with the conse- quence that this has resulted in ap- preciable embarrassment,both to themselves and to the President.The President would be pleased to honor the recommendations of members of Congress,but he will devote first con- sideration to the matter of preserving the integrity of the Wilson concept of public affairs. Geologists Think tne Earth’s Crust is Slipping. Some folks are not happy unless they're making disagreeable sugges- tions or predictions:The earthquake shock felt throughout northern New York and lower Canada recently was the most severe in that region since the Champlain earthquake of 1663,ac- cording to George Halpart Chad- wick,professor of geology at St. Lawrence University,who declaresthatthedisturbance“may possiblybetheforerunnerofamuchmorese-rious and disastrous shock.”Not sat- isfied with that annoying suggestion the professor goes on to express the opinion that the recent earthquake was due to “an actual slipping of the earth’s crust along the great Crack known as Logan’s Line,which ex- tends from the St.Lawrence valley toAlabama”And as a final disturbingprediction,the professor hands outthis:“There is no question that weé:D eatSeismographicdisturbances.”If the for other purposes,re-|earthquakes come we hope they'll begardiessoftheactualneedofthe|confined to the St.Lawrence valleymoneyortheworthofitsexpendit-ure as a business proposition—an idea Rheumatism Quickly Cured. of which the Observer is.a leading |_“My sister's husband had an attack ofexponent—the government must con.|Thematism in his Bim,”writes a well known|resident of Newton,Iowa.es SS wetinuetoraiseemenormoussumofjbottieofChamberlain's Linimert ene ye iment which hemoneyfortheeexpenditures,There-|applied to his arm and on the n“€r.ext m iforethereductionofthetarifftaxfs|the tTheumatism was gone.”For chroniemus-‘.,,(ular rheumati 2doesnotmeanthatlessrevenuewill|ter 1 matism you will find nothing bet- raised,but the manner of aig.|estore Chamberlain's Liniment,Sold by all ..Teen ee ionndthereinisiCureForStomachDisorders,Disorders of the stomach may be avotd- ITEMS OF ALL SORTS, A two-year-old boy at Spértanb rgS.GC.swallowed an 8-penny na’pdwassufferingnoinconvenienceatlastaccount,~trea © “Two deputy United States marshals were killed-and another pexheys fa- tally shot by a gang of moonshiners,said to be negroes,near Blue Hedge, Ky.,who fired upon the officers fromambush.

These offices should be taken out of politics and efficiency made the test, but President Faft’s order swept un- der the civil sérvice some 40,000 in- cumbents who were not required to stand any test of efficiency.The new order placing the incumbents on the same footing with outsiders is ~the true spirit of the merit system.TTL A sensation of the Winston munic- ipal_campaign was the attitude of Mr.¢:-B:-Watson,;who ina public speech the night before the election repudiated the Democratic nominee for mayor,Eaton,attacked his rec- ord and announced his purpose to vote for D.H.Blair,Republican,candi- date on the citixens’ticket.Mr,Wat- son referred to his record as a Dem- ocrat and his service to the party.

Remarking on the pending tariff bill,ex-President Taft said:“If we are.to have free trace,let’s have it. Let the party that favors it vote for it.Let’s try it.”To the protectionist any substantial reduction of a tariff duty,and change that will be of ma- terial benefit to the consumer,is free trade.To the protectionist,a denial! of the right to tax.the public for the benefit of a few,is rittle short of sacrilege.But it is incumbent on President Taft,of all men,to koep his mouth shut about the tariff,see- ing that he made a monumental fail- ure in his attempt to handle the question.Elected to office under pledge to revise the tariff downward, he fell an easy victim to the standpat crowd and approved a tariff bill which increased the consumer’s bur- den,as the best bill ever.For this the American people repudiated him overwhelmingly.Four years after a triumphant election he was ‘able to carry but three small States.of the American Union.Able man that he is in sows ~—--“-—9dJa met.of good intentions,having shown him- self an utter failure in tariff matters, silence would yery much -become Prof&Taft of Yale jast now. _But there is a feature of road build- ing in North Carolina which is be- ing neglected and that is the plant- ing of trees along the road sides.It should be the duty of road builders not only to protect the trees which are now growing along the road sides but as new rcads are built,there should be induced as part of the work the planting of shade trees,for the presence of those trees easily im- prove the public highways and it is the belief of many that trees along the side of @ road add to the life of the road.—Raleigh News and Observ-er. .Rows of trées_on either side of a public highway would look pretty,and the¢News and Observér’s suggestion would eatch The Landmark if.it did not know,what common observation will teach anybody,that shade on a road is fatal to a road in @ clay coun- try.it might make little difference where the road is all sand;but when there is clay sunshine,and all the sunshine possible,in wanted to dry the road as early as possible after « rain,so it will not be eut by wheels of vellicles.Gs on any shaded piece of road and see how long it stays damp after @ rain and howsoon a muddy piece of road becomes a “bad “place in the road.”This was so ap. parent in Tredell that atthe request of the.county authorities the ‘ast >Legislature passed an act giving the ©authority to cut tim- from the road.#The _*PUBLICITY DETERS, Senator Works of California some time ago introduced a bill in Con- gress to prohibit newspapers in the District of Columbia—the District is govertied by Congress—from printing news relating to crime.Protesting againstthepassage of the Dill the commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia say: “The publicity yiven by the press generally tends to lessen evil condi- tions,and thus renders a useful ser-vice to the public.That the dread of publicity has been a deterrent influ:| ence upon those disposed or tempted to the commission of crime may reas-onably be-inferred from the fact that most offenders against the law earn-estly seek to avoid exposure of thecircumstancesoftheirmisbehaviour in newspaper reports of their trials.“Hence,althougii a reasonable surveillance’of such publicationsmightbedesirable,the coraiaissionérsdonotbelievethattheenactmentof the radical legislation contemplated by the bill is advisante.” The commissioners are _sensible. That the dread of exposure is a great deterrent of crime every newspaper that prints police court reports has reason to know.A law-abiding citi- zen.of good character may,through no fault of his own,become involved in trouble which necessitates a court trial.His objection to publicity is natural.But there is a very large class who have no scruple about vio- lating the law and no objection to ap- pearing in court,who dread the news- paper publicity above all things;ard the certain knowledge that the name of the offender and the offence will be published causes many people to walk the straight and narrow who would not walk therein from enoice.Fven mer of bad reputations,who seem to think it no disgrace to get into trou- ble,profess to feel much disgraced when their acts are published in the papers.Of course there are sensa- tion newspapers that publish all the nauseous details of crime and sc m- dal at great length and in exagger- ated form.If this sort of publica- tion could be suppressed without sup- pressing legitimate statements of criminal offences,it would be well. But the fact that publicity has a de- terrent influence on the »criminally- inclined cannot be questioned, Client Wept on Shoulder of Lawyer Who Freed Him—Lifted Watch. St.Louis Dispatch. “My client is an honest man.I have known him 20 years and in all that time 1 know pergonally that he has been upright,industrious,home- loving and of the best of character. This is a ¢ase of mistaken identity. The defendant would scorn to steal. He has a faithful wife and nine chil- dren who are a credit to the commu- nity.If you convict this man on this circumstantial evidence,you rob him of a stetling character,built up by years of honest endeavor;you put thestigmaofshameuponadependent wife and her children.”Thus did Clark Hudson,attorney or Frederick Welkey,a negro,appeal before a jury in Judge Kinsey’s court for the acquittai of his client,charg- ed with robbery.The jury was visi- bly affected.The prisoner’s wife and children sobbed. “Not guilty!”the jury reported af- ter deliberating five minutes. Welkey,overcome with apparent emotion,grasped his lawyer’s hand and leaned upon his shoulder.Then the attorney felt for his watch.It was gone.A bailiff seized Welkey as he was leaving,the court room.He found the watch in Welkey’s pocket. Mr.Pullen Left Large Sums Churches and Charities. John T.Pullen,the Raleigh philan- thropist who died a few days ago, left his real estate,valued at $100,000,to Fayetteville Street Baptist church, Raleigh;several relatives and friends received .sums ranging from $25 to32,000.Rex Huspital and the Old La- dies’Home were eacn given’$3,000 and the Home an additional.$30,000 to provide weekly suppers for the old ladies,such as Mr.Pullen provided while he lived.Also provision is made for an annual dinner.to the old folks of the city at Fayetteville Street church each New Year's Day, a dinner he had given each year for many years.The Ladies’Aid So- ciety of the First Baptist church gets $500,$1,000 is ieft with Rev.Living- ston Johnson to continue Mr.Pullen’s personal work of many years past in distributing small books of the Bible to people needing them.Any residue cf his e#tate beyond bequests speci- fied is to go to the Thomasville Bap- tist orphanage and the Methodist or- phanage of Raleigh in equal divis-10n. to The Library Question Not Ended— Mr.Caruegie’s Religion.

Radium Mined Here and Shipped Abroad Fer Manufacture. The United States Bureau of Mines has made the remarkable discovery that more than two-thirds of the ra- dium supply of the world is being made in Europe from American ores. Investigations carried on recently by the bureau show that while this coun- try has the greatest known supply of radium-bearing ores in the world,not one gram is manufactured here.The bureau of mines proposed to encour- age the development of a radium in- dustry in the United States. Radium institutes have been estab- lished in Austria,France,Germany and England,and a European science and indus have een developed from American ores.The European producers demand only the very high- est grade ores and considerable waste is being encountered by the American mine owners.Carnotite and pitch- blende,radium-making ores,are found in small quantities in North Carolina,Connecticut,Colorado and Utah.Practically every ton of car- notite mined if 1912 went abroad and the country is rapidly giving up its richest minerals to European produc- ers,according to Charles L.Parsona, chief of the division of mineral tech- nology of the bureau,who has been investigating the matter.The trou- ble is radium-refining has not been es- tablished in this country.But one firm in the United States has engaged ine the extraction and Tefining of ‘ra-dium in this country and its product is not yet on the market.Radium, which is wsed by hospitals and physi-cans tor experimental purposes,is enormously expensive,A small bit recently purchased abroad by Dr. >alga Kelly of Baltimore cost $30,- Sawmill Burned at Cleveland—Forest Fires. At Cleveland,Rowan county,Wed- nesday the saw mill of S,L.Hunter was destroyed by fire.It is said the blaze was started by forest fires which have raged in various sectionsofRowanandIredellseveraldays. The loss was about $2,000. The Salisbury Post says that Sun- day afternoon,from some unknown cause fire started in an old field two miles above Cleveland and near the saw mill of Hunter &Sprinkle.The flames spread rapidly and before they were checked had burned over about 15 aeres of field and woodland.By he- roic efforts a fire brigade,formed among the residents of the neighbor- hood,kept the flames from reaching any buildings,although for a time it —like several would be consum-ed.

There ought to be a campaign of education in every village,town and city in the South,in every country district and wherever men loaf,.to teach people that the idle,loafing boy or man,white ur black,hanging around street corners,sitting on store boxes,or loafing around tne depots, is a disgrace to the community and is one of the community’s heaviest lia- bilittes.. Several years ago a railroad con- tractor in north Georgia had as body servant a faithful old antebellum negro known as Unice Jake.One day there came a sudden emergency in which a large number of extra hands were needed.The boss sent Uncle Jake hurrying to town to get some ex- tra men.In an hour or two he re- turned apparently very much disgust- ed with himself.and the world in gen- eral,and when the boss asked him what was the matter,he said:“‘Deed, Marse William,I couldn’t get any hands.The idle,loafing niggers won't work.”And then,as though a bright idea had struck him,he add- ed:“Marse William,God Almighty has lost money on every nigger He has raised sence de war.” The old darkey had the idea that the negro who would not work was worthless to man and to God;but hecouldhavemadeabroaderapplica- tion of the thought.The loafing, drinking.white man or-boy is about as worthless as the Idle negro.It is true that our whole country is cursed with many idle,loafing people,white and black,living on what others are doing,sapping the.vitality of the community and becoming an ever-in-creasing burden.But it is with theSowsthatweareespeciallyconcern- Hope For Changes in the Cotton Schedule.

Senator Overman discussed the cot- ton schedule of the tariff bill with President Wilson today and when he came away expressed himself as very well satisfied with the interview.He believes that the President will look with sympathy upon certain amend- ments to the Underwood bill correct- ing certain inequalities in the cotton schedule.He said these changes will be im aceordance-with the Baltimoteplatform,and...the President’s»own public promises.The sub-committee of the Senate finance commiitee,which is consider- ing the cotton schedule,looks with favor upon the proposal to increase rates on twisted,mercerized and fin- ished yarns,recognizing that there is a great difference in labor cost in their production.Representative Webb offered in the House amend- ments to ‘this schedule,indreasing these rates from 10 per cent on the lower grades to 30 per cent on the finer grades.The amendments were voted down in the House,but seem likely to be adopted in the Senate. Brazil Will Retaliate. American manufacturers probably have lost a flour trade amounting to $3,000,000 a year as well as a lucra- tive business in cement,typewriters, machinery and other products as a re- sult of the Brazilian government’s re- seritment at the breaking up of the Brazilian coffee valorization scheme by the Department of Justice.After several conferences with State De-partment officials,Brazilian Ambas- sador Dagama let it be known that his country in future would decline to extend the 30 per cent differentialincustomsdueswhichuntilApril9 was allowed on their American pro- ducts.Without the differential,tt is said,the American producers willnotbeabletocompetewiththoseinArgentinaandArgentinemillersate expected to control the Brazilian flour market.rennerner eanDr.Henry Louis Smith,formerlypresidertofDavidsonCollege,who jast year became president of Wash- ington and Lee University,Lexington, Va.,was this.week formally inaug- urated with the proper ceremonies. ee nN ED, Health a Factor in Success.

At the close of the address,Prof. D.Matt.Thompson,who is superin- tendent of the colored school as well as the white,made a brief address,commending the colored people for the deference they had always shown him in his school work,and the teach- ers for their faithful efforts to car- ry on the work.Rev.W.A.Lutz presented the certificates to the class and brief remarks were made by oth- ers in response to calls.

Five Democrats Voted Against .1t— Vote Deferred From Wednesday— Fight:on the Free:List and Trib- ute to Underwood. The Underwood tariff bill passed the House of Congress yesterday by a vote of 281 to 189,five Democrats voting gainst the bill and.two Repub- licans voting for it.Four.Progress- ives supported the bill and while in- dependent Progressives joined with the majority.Four Democrats from Louisiana and one from New York voted against the bill. After all of the fireworks prepar- atory to passage of the Underwood bill in the House had been set off Wednesday evening,@ Republican parliamentary maneuver blocked progress by the Democratic majority and the House was rorced to adjourn until Thursday with the_bill still pending. ‘When the valedictory speeches on the bill had been delivered and crowd- ed floor and galleries were prepared for the final action,Republican Lead- er Mann replied to Majority Leader Underwood’s opposition to a roll-call on the Republican amendment pro- posing a tariff commission by ceclar- ing he would demand the reading of the “enrolled mill.”It was impossible for the enrolling clerk to complete the enrollment of the bill before yes- terday afternoon.and amid the dis- satisfied mutterings of the members who had waited through the evening in the expectation of a final vote, Representative Underwood moved that the House adjourn until 2 o’cleck Thursday afternoon. The Democratic majority in the House put thiough the free ‘st of the tariff bill Tuesday,bowling over all opposition to free wool,free meats and other necessities.Not a dent was made in the bill as approved by the ways and means committee ma- jority. All day there was sparring across the aisle dividing the Democrats and Republicans.Many amendments were offered by Republicans in a forlorn effort to put many free list articles back on the dutiable list,but all were voted down with a regulgr- ity that brought smiles from the mi- nority.Finally,when the last of these proposed changes had been re- jected,Representative Payne precip- itated a lively rules fight by offering a brand new amendment to create a tariff commission.This was ruled out of order and the ruling of the chair was sustained by a vote of 164 to 87. A Democratic-Republican love feast was held in the House as considera- tion of taxing provisions of the tariff bill drew to a.close.The occasion was the birthday of Representative Underwood.Minority Leader Mann announced that he wished to put aside partisan feeling for a time and talk personally.He told the House that 51 years ago “one of the ablest men in public life first saw the light of commercial courses,was overwhelm- ingly defeated.

About the Growth of ‘Trees and Limbs. The Charlotte Observer stated re- cently that its office was divided on the question,“Does the lower limb of a tree,growing out horizontally, grow up with the tree,or does it re- main the same distance from the |ground?”Col.Harris,the editor,ar-'gued that the limbs didn’t grow up with the tree,othera in the office took ithe other side of the proposition,and there was internal strife.Editor Huggins of the Marshville Home,af- ter suggesting that the Observer get a country boy to stay*in the office to keep them straight about-rural life, tells how it is as follows: “Trees grow by sections,say a foot each year.When the cold weather comes along in the fall and the fo- liage is killed by the frost,the tree ceases to grow until spring.When thewhichwillbelaidbefore‘the Presi-‘S8P Tises and growti begins again,dent,would provide for a qualifica-| tion test for incumbents and appli- cants “in keeping with the importanceoftheoffices.” Further theSays: “Political considerations have inthepastverylargelycontrolledtheselectionoffourth-class postmasters,and under this order Democrats must |be held responsible for the wise and|safe administration of these offices,|Under the circumstances the Taftorderviolatedatleastthefundamen-tal purpose of the civil service law |because it placed permanently in of-|fice without examination or other testastomeritorefficiency,a great hordeofpersons.If left in this condition|and permitted to operate ij Postmaster General | } it starts right where it stopped-in the fall and the lower part of the tree doesn’t grow ut all,except that it takes on a new ring on the outside, just as does the top take on anoth- er length.Therefore,we say trees grow by rings,each ring represent- ing one year of the tree’s age.If alimbisnearthetopofatree,it therefore grows up with that year’s growth of the tree.But when the top leaves it standing in a last year’s }growth of the tree,it has reached its limit and another limb comes out to take its place.And it may possi- bly be that evergreen limbs keep on going higher every year,because the tree doesn’t stop growing.Therefore, the limbs on «malt trees do grow without |higher from the ground,while thoseproperexaminationintoitsworkings|°”large ones remain the same dis-the order would make honest civil |*8nce from gravitation.”: Service a farce and prove a setbacktoitsproperadministrationandfu-ture progress,My effort is to cor-rect the evil and save the merit oftheorderanddulysafeguardcivilServiceandefficiency.”ee eneneeene Doctors Taik.About Dreams.

It was also shown that the Harmony route was nearer the center of the territory as a whole.Though the Harmony route wil!cut out UnionGrovetownshipentirely,being a mile and a half from the Union Grove line, it will run within a mfe and a quar-ter of Harmony and the people of Harmony and vicinity were.making the fight for the lower or Harmony route.Practically every voter inTurnersburgtownshipandagoodportionofthevotersofEagleMills township had sijned petitions for the Harmony route,while the remainderoftheEagleMillsplesidedwithUnionGrovetownshipfortheWil-liamsburg route.Turnersburg hasvoted.$35,000 in bonds for the road, Eagie Mills $20,000 and Union Grove$25,000.Both.sides p up strongargumentstouchingal—_of thequestion.The Williamsburg people's strongest pleas were on the groundthattheirroutewascheapest,wouldpenetrateasectionrichestintimber and natural resources and at the same time would give Union Grove aportionoftheroad,while the otherroutewouldnottouchthetownshipatallandwouldnotbeeasilyacces- sible to it.It was also argued thatsomuchmoneycouldnothavebeenvotedfortheroadhaditnotbeenunderstoodthatitwouldpassthroughthetownship.The other side or Har- mony crowd argued that its territory was more thickly populated,had more wealth and business,and timber equal to the other side;that it would bebusinesspolicytobuildaroada mile further just to save $20,000,etc.At the conclusion of the publichearingMr.Ausley impres the two factions with the fact that anyfrictionbetweenthemafterthedirec-tors had made their decision would mean that the bonds could not be soldandtheworkontheroadwouldhavetostop.Mr.Turner expressed thehopethatbothsideswouldberecon-ciled to the decision of the directors,whatever it might be,and reminded them that the officers of the companywereworkingfornothingandhadno money at stake so far as they were personally’concerned.They would de- cide on the route considered best fortherailroadasarailroad.The dircetors met in executive ses-sion about 2 o’clock and were in ses-sion till late in the afternoon.Theywereequallydividedonthequestion at the beginning of the meeting andthesameargumentspresentedatthepublichearing:were again threshedoutintheexecutivesession.The firstfourballotstakenweretiesbutthefifthresultedinaYctoryfortheKar- *mony route.Before the meeting adjourned itwasdecided,on motion of Mr.Ansleythatthecountycommissioners issue only $10,000 of theUnionGrovebonds.At the first bondelectionheldin.Union Grove only$10,000 was voted,but later the c raised to $25,000.The all that will be asked. z be |dance,while the THE OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED Alderman Shelton Mayor Pro Tem— Meeting Board of Aldermen Satur-day Night.: The first meeting of the board of aldermen under the new administra- tion was held Friday night,but nobusinesswagtranThealder- men took the oath,which was .admin- istered by Justice W.J.Lazenby,andthenadjourneduntilSaturdaynightforabusinesssession.Mayor Cald-well,who was out of town and couldnotbepresentatthefirstmeeting,took the oath of office Saturday morn- ing.The first action of the aldermenSaturdaynightwastoapprovethemunicipalelectionreturns.The elec- tion of officers was then gone into.

Certain propositions submitted to the citizens of Charlotte which requir- ‘ed the assent of a majority of the qualified (registered)voters to be- come laws,failed.The Observer and Chronicle,which favored the propo- sitions,are both disgusted with,the plan of requiring a majority of the qualified voters to carry an election and the Observer wants to know who invented that plan of voting anyhow. The Landmark is here to shed light and as a matter of information to those who may not know,it will state that in the matter of levying special faxes,contracting debt (bond issues), etc.,the framers of the State consti- tution are responsible for thismethod of voting.Section 7,article7,of the State’constitution reads as follows: -“No county,city or town,or other municipal corporation,shall contract any debt,pledge its faith,or loan its credit,nor shall any tax be levied or collected by any officers of the same,except for the necessary ex- penses thereof,unless by a vote of the majority of the qualified.voters therein.”ot neers This provision of the constitution 1s intended to safeguard the contraction of debts,the levying of taxes,etc., by municipal corporations or coun- ties.Requiring the assent of a ma- jority of the qualified voters rather than a majority of the votes cast in such elections was doubtless provided on the idea that it was possible—es- pecially in the older days when the means of publicity was not so great as now—to submit a proposition for a special tax or a bond issue and say so little about it that”few people would know it and those who might oppose it would be at a disadvantage. Every bond issue and special tax, therefore,unless it be for a necessa- ry expense—and the Supreme Court has decided what is a necessary ex- pense in such cases—must obtain a majority of the qualified voters. Sometimes opponents of a proposition will secure the incorporation of the rovision that it must obtain a major- ty of the qualified voters,when it is not legally necessary,to handicap the matter as much as possible,for the provision gives the opposition much advantage.This was done in the case of the commission govern- ment election in Charlotte,where the requirement was not constitution- ally necessary.The opposition put up a job.there.On the general proposition The Landmark agrees with the Charlotte papers,that a man who is not suffi- ciently interested in a matter to.go and vote should not be counted.The provision may be a necessary precau- tion in financial matters—it doubtless was necessary when adopted,but it should not be allowed to apply to oth-er elections.While on this subject it may be noted that chapter 83 of the laws of 1911,which authorizes elections in towns on the question of a public li- brary,such as was held in Statesville last week,provides that if a majority of the votes cast be for a library the sidermen or town _commissioners dhall levy and collect a special tax for the support of the same.In view of the section of the constitution quot- ed this act would seem to be uncon- stitutional because it does not require i majority of the qualified voters to assent to the levy of a tax for a li- »brar},“which could not be considered a “necessary expense.” The Wadesboro Ansonian highly commends Wat Spencer and Ben Pratt,colored men of Anson county, who stood by an officer and helped to save a white man from a mob of their race.The white mn was charg- ed by a colored girl with an offence that usually reeans lynching when the victim is white and the perpetrator of the deed colored.Under the cir- cumstances the negroes could have followed the example of the whites and_had some justification for their con- duct.It is to the everlasting credit ‘of the negroes named,who were the leaders in preventing an outbreak, and others who uided fhém that they stood for law and order. The candidate who has any sort of flaw in his record or a mental,phys- ical or moral defect,may expect to hear about it.S.S.Lockhart was recommended for postmaster at Wadesboro and his appointment was held up because somebody told the Postoffice Department that Ke was deaf and for that reason was incom-petent.Lockhart’s friends say his deafness is not sufficient to interfere with his work. are to stand. knowledge that from Louisiana will not accept TARIFF BILL NOW IN SENATE. May Not Get Through Before August But Democrats:Think “it -Safe-— Small Democratic Defection in the House More ‘Than Made Up By Re- publicans and Progressives._ The five Democrats.who voted against the tgrift bill when it passed the House Thursday were Broussard, Dupre,Lazard and Morgan of Louis- iana,on/account of the schedule re- ducing sugar 25 per cent.and sénd- ing it to the free list in three years, and C.B.Smith of New York.Cary and Stafford of Wisconsin,Republi- cans,voted for the bill.Progressives who voted for the bill were Kelly and Rupley of Pennsylvanta,.Nolan|of California and Bryan of |Washing- ton.Kent of California,formerly a Republican,but now an Independent Progressive,also vored for the bill. Progressive Leader Murdock and 13 of his Progressive followers.voted with the minority.Representative Copley,a Progressive,did not vote, answering “present”to .his name. The tariff fight has shifted from the House with its overwhelming Demo- cratic majority,to the Senate,where the party’s slim majority of six al- ready has been reduved,as far as this bill is concerned,to four.Unless Sen- ators familiar with the progress of such legislation are mistaken,there is little prospect of a final vote on the bill before August 1. The bill’s passage through the Sen- ate will be fought at every step by a Republican organization apparently entirely in accord on this’subject and entirely willing to spend unlimited time and energy in an effort to de- feat it.Leaders of the Democrats on the Senate finance committee,which will handle the bill,express the belief that it will go through in practically the same form as rt passed the House and that their small majority will stand firm to the last.Sub-com- mittees of the finance committee which have been investigating the schedules of the bill for the last few weeks,plan to make a few changes in several schedules but wool and su- gar and other schedules which brought out the hard fighting in the ouse,are not to be touched,accord- ing to the present plan.The income tax and administration features also Democratic leaders ac~- the two Senators the sugar schedule,and that they might be willing to combine with others to defeat the whole bill. A change of two or more Democrat- ic votes would bring about the end the Louisianians desire.Although there have been reports about the Senate that the Democrats intend to allow one more Senator to vote against sugar and another to vote against wool,leaders of the finance committee refused to confirm it.Re- publicans who have canvassed those Democrats who iodked at all doubt- ful,agreed that they had little hope of success.The Republicans are con- vinced that Presidenr Wilson will car- ry the day and the party platform will be followed and that with the ex- ception of the two Senators from Lou- isiana they cannot count upon a siIn- gle vote. As soon as the tariff bill reached the Senate the Republicans made a fight to instguct the finance commit- tee to give public hearings,a thing the committee had decided not to do. The motion for the public hearings was pending when the Senate ad- journed until today. Order For New Designs of Small Notes Called In. Washington Dispatch. Miss Evelyn James,of San Anto- nio,Texas,who posed for the figure of America to appear on the new United States circulating notes of small denominations,Is likely to be a deeply disappointed young lady if she takes pride in the thought of go- ing down into history through .the representation of her comely face on the paper money of her country.The disappointment to Miss James will jcome from the fact that William G. McAdoo,the Secretary of the Treas- wry,has given orders to the bureau of engraving and printing not to print the new notes. When Franklin MacVeagh of Chi-’ cago was Secretary of the Treasury he came to the conclusion that «ood deal of money could be saved by re- ducing the common size of«the paper money then and now in circulation, Kenyon Cox got the contract for drawing the designs and Miss James posed for his central figure of Amer- ica.Miss James is «an art student in New.York.

The second half,of particular local interest by reason of the interesting account of Iredell men in the war, will be published in next issue.Capt.Chambers said:It is now 48 years since the end oftheConfederatewar.In that timemanyaddresseshavebeenmadeandmanybooksandarticleswrittenabouttheConfederatesoldier,the Southernpeopleandthecauseforwhichinthatwartheystruggledandsuffered.The maient has been exhausted by able and eloquent men.Nothing newcannowbe.added.Not even a new toric narrative.It is now.an old sto- ry.But it is a_glorious story.It ought to be often repeated,not only for the gratification of the vet-erans but also for the benefit of theresentandsucceedinggenerations. t will bear repeating times withoutnumber.The ycung people ought tolearnandrememberit.The surviv-ing veterans do not tire of it.They love to hear it again and again.Itkeepsthemfromforgetting.It re- freshes their memory.It stirs their bloed with pride,without bitterness. As the familiar tale is told they forget that they are old. ing they are young again.Once again they are following the Johnstons and Lee and Longstreet and Jackson,the Hills and Ewell and Early and And- erson,the Ransoms,Pettigrew,Pen-der,Grimes and Ramseur.Againtheylookintothefacesandhearthe voices of the comrades of their youngmanhoodincainp,on the march and in the stirring excitement of mighty battle.Again they are at Seven Pines, Malvern Hill,Second Manassas,Fred- ericksburg,Sharpsburg,Chancellors- ville,Gettysburg,the Wilderness, Spottsylvania,Richmond,Petersburg and Appomattox. But the whole story of the Confed- erate war,its trials,its hardships and its glories is,of course,far too lon to be fully recited even in a genera way on an occasion like this.It has, therefore,occurred to me that,in- stead of an attempt at such recital, or,even to follow,if 1 ¢ould,the beat- en path of formal speech and statelyeulogy,it would be better for me,andofmoreinterestandhistoricalvalue to those here today,to gather togeth- er and state,in plain and simple nar- rative,some facts to show the condi- tion of the Confederacy and,as far as possible,the situation of the Ire- dell county soldiers,for just one im- portant day during that war.And the date fixed for this memorial service caused me to fia as an appropriate day May 10,1863,half way through the war and just harf a century ago today.If for nothing else that day ought to be important and sacred to died.But ‘aside from that sad event which of itself makes each recurring anniversary “a day for memory and for tears,”that day,near the middle Burns,Mont.~‘‘Lydia E.Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compound cured me of awful | backache which I had suffered withfor| months,I was so weak I could hardly do my work and my head and eyes ached all | the time.Your Compound helped me| in many ways and is a great strength-| ener.I always recommend it to my | friends and tell them what agrand med-| icine itis for women.You may use my| name for the good of others.’’—Mrs. JOHN FRANCIS,Burns,Montana.

Work of North Carolina Boy Attract) ing Attention. Spartanburg (S.C.)Journal. “Im the little town of Rostic,N.Cy resides a young artist,a mute,22 years of age,whose work is attract- ing.much attention and favorable comment from discriminative lovers of art everywhere.‘ Broad Martin is his name,His friends are just begmning to realize the genius of this mountaineer.He has never had a moment’s instruction from any artist,yet his’work wit che brush is,in itself,a prediction of his possible future.Born and reared in Rutherford county,North Carolina,young Mar- tin has never visited any of the ene cities of his native state,in fact,he has never seen a city larger than Shelby,nor has he enjoyed education- al advantages usually possessed by the American youth.However,he has been reared in an atmosphere refinement and culture,and has ab- sorbed much literary knowledge from association with his brothers and sisters,who are graduates of State institution for the deaf and dumb at Raleigh.There is a sad side to the story of the Martin family, three members of the family being mutes. This circumstance,however,has not prevented the children from acquiring some education,andthe older mém- bers of the family have united in in- structing Broad in some things he should know.The boy has mastered algebra,geometry and other branch- es of mathematics and derives great pleasure from the perusal of such in- structive perodicals as the World’s Work,Outlook,etc.Young Martin is of a peculiar tem-perament in that he has emphatical-cally refused to accept the earnestinvitationsofhiswealthybrothersin Missouri to attend the best schoolsofartinEuropeattheirexpense.De- votion for his aged mother has al-ways caused him to decline their of- fers,and he may be seen any day at his home,sketching the facial outlineofsomewellknownhistoricalchar- acter.At the age of four years,Broadfirstbegantoshowthestgnsofan artist,by beautifying the walls of hishomewithsketchesofbeautifulscen-ery near his mountain home.LaterhebeganaseriesofcaricaturesofthecrownedheadsofEurope,which still hang on the walls of the Martin homeandreceiveunstintedpraisefromthemanyvisitorswhocometoad- mire Broad’s work.Several years be-fore President Woodrow Wilson cameabeforethepubliceye, road Martin,with a lead drew a marvellously accurate likenessoftheformerGovernorofNewJer- sey.Another likeness of Wilson fromthepencilofthisboyartistisonex-hibition at Ballenger’s paint estab- lishment in this city,and a visit totheexhibitcomposedoftheworkofMartinwillconvinceanycompetentartcriticofthegenmuspossessedthislad,who never attended school one day in his life.Some of his work was exhibitedaneighborhoringcitysomemonths ago,and’one of the pencil sketches was purchased by an art lover of New York.One of the remarkable features oftheyoungmanisthathedoesnotseemtorealizehisownability,end is very reluctant to allow any one toexaminehisworkforfearofunfavor-| able criticism.

The People Are Not Protesting Against Tariff Revision. Baltimore Sun,When it comes to lowering the tariff every beneficiary of protection protests’as a matter of course obody expects them,in the pres- ent instance,to applaud the Demo- cratic party and its leaders and to cry out,encore!Human nature has not got to that point yet and it is no- thing new that what has..been grant-ed as a special privilege should be claimed as a right.The aati-revis- fon protest means nothing but that some favored interest hates like the mischief to give up a fat thing. But there is one feature about the situation that is significant—has any- heard the people protesting against revision?If the tariff is not lowered,there will be a thunder ofprotestfromthemlater. ©he reunion of the Grand Army ofthe,Republic,the fational organiza- ion of Union soldiers,will be held at *hattanhoora,Tenn.,in September.The commencement of the A.andM.College at Raleigh will begin on the 25th.Hon.Franklin D.Roose- yeit,Assistant Secretary of the Navy,wil deliver the adaréss.

The Army of*Northern Virginia under Lee was resting and recuper- ating after the great battle and vic tory of Chancellorsville which occur- red just one week lefure.Notwith- standing the losses in that battle and the sorrow for the deaths of so many brave men,including Jackson,the Army of Northern Virginia,having just defeated Hooker,whose army outnumbered thet of Lee over two to one,felt confidence sn itself and in its great leader.General Lee had equal confidence in nis army and ability and willingness to do whatev er might be required or it.Perhaps, in view of the limited men and means of the South,his cenndence wags too great.pare for the invasion of Pennsylva nia.Doubtless on this 10th of May, 1863,he was already planning it.-Al though Jackson died that day,Lee still had Longstreet and Ewell and A.

The Confederate army of Tennes- see had fought the bloody battle of Murfreesboro,the last of 1862,and on May 10,1863,was resting in the vicinity of Tullahoma,between Mur- freesboro and Chattanooga.Gen,Jo- seph E.Johnston,Lee’s friend and great fellow soldier,had not entirely recovered from the wounds ~eceived at Seven Pines,but had reported for duty.He was not a favorite of the administration and had been assiucned to the southwestern part of the Con- federacy,east of the Mississippi, with vague,indefinite and mere su- pervising instructions,but little real authority or power.For a short time he had been with the Army of Ten- nessee in a sort of advisory capacity. Gen.Braxton Bragg was in immedi- ate command..This army was hold- ing the superior force of Rosecrans in check. On this 10th day of May,1565, Gen.Johnston left Bragge-s neadquar- ters in Tennessee for Mississippi to do what he could to aid Pembertonandpreventthecalamitythat«fier- wards occurred at.Vicksburg.Wut while his going gave the country en- couragement at the time,the sequel proved that he was too late and his means and authority insufficient,But Mobile;Pensacola,Charleston,Savan- nah and Wilmington,though blockad- ed.still remained in the hand«of ths Soutnerners,and Wilmington was fast becoming the only.port wheretheblockadecouldbesuccessfullyevaded.

Wearing only his night clothes and barefooted,young Williams leaped from the back coor and made «dash across a cotton field.Mr.Ward fell in about 50 yards behind him and gave chase,but the boy was fleet of foot and being lightly clad sped away like a deer,apparently caring nothing for the briars and underbrush,and was soon out of sight despite the light of the moon.Mr.Ward fired a num- ber of shots ir the hope of haltinghim,but this only increased his speed.

Train Windows Broken Last Night. The day coach of east-bound pas- senger train No.16 was struck by a missile of some kind thrown from the north side of the track,as the train passed the vicinity of the Statesville Cotton Mill coming mto town last night at 11:20 o’clock.The glass of two windows was broken,but fortu- nately no one was sitting in the seats next to the windows.Nothing except broken glass could be found inside the coach and the fact that smoke ap- peared and there was a noise similar to an explosion leads the trainmenandpassengerstobelievethatthemissilewasontheorderofabomb. The matter was reported to police headquarters last night and an effort is being made to establish the idenity of the scoundrel responsible. Just Freight Rate Association Organ- ized.

The Twelve Companies From Iredell and Their Officers and Service—Po- litical Affiliation of Iredell Before the War—Appeal For a County History. Conclusion of Capt.Chambers’Me- morial Day Address.; On May 10,1863,Iredell county or was interested in at least twelve companies in the Confederate army. Most of these companies were entire- ly and the others partly composed of Iredell county men.They were com- panies A,C and H of the Fourth ~*~ iment;A and I of the Seventh; of the Nineteenth (Second Cavalry), A of Thirty-third,C of the roe eighth,C and E of the Forty-ninth, E of the Fifty-fourth,and K of the Fifty-sixth.Besides many Tredell men had joined companies from’other counties.I know of some in Rowan and Catawba companies and doubtless others were in companies from Meck- lenburg,Lincoln,Alexander,Wilkes, Yadkin and Davie.Many of these Iredell companies had been;in active service from the beginning of the war.Up to the middle of the war,howev- er,the losses had propably been prac- tically made up by recruits.Te men were coming of military age an the exigencies of the war called more older men into the service.The ex- a vote for the material interests of|act number cannot now be ascertained North Carolina—some of his friends |put it is probable that on May 10, who took this view,we say,are going to be embarrassed by the present sit- uation.*** 1868,Iredell county had from 7100 to 1,000 men in the Confederate army.

But a healthy and enlightened public sentiment will finally ao the work and the moonshiner will not be entirely eliminated this vear nor next year. Farmers’Union to Work For Lower Freight Rates. “The time has come for action.Pa- tience has ceased to be a virtue.We cannot tolerate this unjust burden any longer.Everything we buy which has been hauled in an inter- State freight car,from a ton of gu- ano to a trace chain,has te pay this unjust tribute to railroad monopoly.” The executive committee of -the State Farmers’Union in an open let- ter thus talks to the local unions oftheState,calling attention to thefactthattheinlandtownsofNorth Carolina are paying 15 to 20 per centhigherratesthanVirginiatowns. “For a generation or more,”saystheletter,“the people of North Caro-lina have been made to pay tribute tothegreatrailrcadswhichmonopolize‘and control the transportation lines of our State.”This tribute is esti-mated at $5,900,000 annvally. “Discuss the matter,adopt resolu- Aions urging Governor Craig to ex-haust all the powers of every de- ae of our government if need,to compel the raltroads to do jus- tice.Act at once,carl special meet- get everybody to sign the res-olations and immediately mail +o the |in#for service. .Act now.”Signing the letter are the execu-|%t™ed Mexican veteran, ,W.B.Gibson,chair-tive May 10,1863,were m the Army of Northern Virginia,in the vicinity of Those in the For- ty-eighth,Forty-ninth and _Fifty- sixth regiments’were under D.H.

Company A of the Fourth regi- ment had been,before the war,the Independent Iredell Blues.It,like the Rowan Rifle Guards of Rowan, Hornet’s Nest Riflemen of Mecklen- burg and other fancy named compa- nies of many of the old and large counties of the State,was one of the uniformed and equipped companies that constituted the volunteer army of North Carolina,«s distinguished from the militia,and were ready for service whenever demanded.Its mem- bers came from among the best young men of the county,who had a fancy for military drill and display.They had a showy uniform.They were well drilled in the tactics and could readily perform the many fancy ev- olutions 6f that time.They always marched at the heaa of the regiment at general musters and were in de- mand on all public and gala occasions in the county and State whenever military display was wanted to add interest and dignity to the proceed- ings.They were,in time of peace, mere fancy soldiers.But when sure enough war came and the Governor of the State called for them to enter real service,they responded as rap- idly and quickly as if only called for dress parade or a Fourth of Julycelebration.;At the outbreak of the war they were required to go at once to the sea coast of the State.hey rendered.service there for sev- eral months before they became a part of the afterwards justly famed Fourth regiment of State troops. When the war began the ecommission- ed officers of the company were Ab- salom K.Simonton,captain;William A.Eliason,W.L.Davidson and Wil- liam G.Falls,lieutenants. Captain Simonton was a resident of Statesville and one of the prominent and popular young busines’men of the county.He was senior captain of the Fourth regiment when it was formed,became major when Lieut. Col.John A.Young —a native and long-time citizen of Iredell,though then a.resident of Mecklenburg—re- tired from the service.Major Simon- ton was killed the last of May,1862, at the battle of Seven Pines,near Richmond.Lieut.Eliason was called to higher office in another regiment early in the war.He was a Vitgin-ian and had received a military edu- cation atthe Virginta Military Insti- tute.’Many changes had occurred in the company by May 10,1863.Capt.W. G.Falls and Lieut.4.P.Cowan werekilledandLieut.William R.McRo- rie was wounded at Chancellorsville only a week before.McRorie then ecame captain and was killed the next year at Spottsylvania. Captain John B.Andrews was the first captain of Company C of the Fourth regiment.He had been a pro- fessor in Concord Female College, now Statesville Female College,whenitwasfirstestablishedandputin operation about 1857,Later he es- tablished a school for poys at States- ville.He had spent some time in France and,having a taste for such things,gave some study to military tactics of which the French were then supposed to be masters.He add- ed the military feature to his school. It was attractive to boys and was good for their phystcal welfare.The boys at this school soon began to compete*with the Iredell Blues in com- pany drill and fancy eyolutions,and at the outbreak of the war furnish- ed a number of young men suitable for drill-masters.The school hadalsogivenCapt.Andrews some stand- ing in the country as a military man.He had no trouble in raising his com- pany.Young men from schools,col-leges,farms,siores and some mén from other callings,who had deter- mined to go to war,applied for mem- bership in his company.He soon had a full company of splendid men,most of them young,healthy and strong,incampatCampVance,and there train-j Early.in June they were sworn in for the war by the one- ¢James G.

Besides Lt.Col.Young,other Ire- dell men filled positions on the staff of the Fourth regiment.Robert F. Simonton,an older brother of Major A.K.Simonton,was for a time com- missary sergeant;F.D.Carlton ser- geant-major and Elam F.Morrison quartermaster sergeant Seventh Regiment. Col.Reuven P.Campbell of Iredell was the first colonel of the Seventh regiment of North Carolina State troops.He was a graduate of West Point,served with distinction in the Mexican war and was.captain of dragoons in the regular army of the United States when the Confederate war began.He at once offered his services to his native State and was killed near Gaines’Mill,east of Rich- mond,on June 27,1862,while carry- ing the flag and advancing in front of his regiment in a desperate charge. His brother,Dr.Wesley M.Campbell of Iredell,was surgeon of the Sev- enth regiment.F.D.Stockton,an Iredell man,was for a time adju- tant.Company A of that regiment was made up of Iredell and Alexander men.Its first officers were Junius L. Hill,captain;John G.Knox,first lieu- tenant;Andrew A.Hill and Melmoth W.Hill,second lieutenants.All these officers were friends apd schoolmates of mine and I knew them well.All of them were splendid men and all except Junius lL.Hill survived the war.Knox belonged to the cturdy Rowan family of that name.He liv- ed near the western border of that county and he and I went to school tégether at the school house in Iredell at “Stoney Knap,”a short distance west of the present village of Elm- wood.He,however,afterwards spent much of his time with his brother-in- law,Hon.E.M.Bogle,at Taylors- ville,in Alexander county,and for a long time went to the school main- tained there by his uncle,Prof.H.T. Burke.It was there that he,the Hills and I went to school together and it was there he became acquaint- ed with the Alexander men who vol- unteered in Company A.After the war he went West.Junius L.Hill and Melmoth W.Hill were brothers.Andrew A.Hill was their cousin.Junius L.Hill became lieutenant colonel of the regiment and was killed on May 3,1868,at the battle of Chancellorsville.After the war Andrew Hill became an influen- tial citizen of Alexander county,made his home and married an excellent la- dy of school-day acquaintance in Tay- lorsville.He died there some years ago.Melmoth W.Hill studied medi-cine and was for many years a prac- ticing physician.at Statesville,where he died a few years ago.Company I was from south Iredell.

Representative citizens from all lines of business met yesterday in Raleigh to organize the Just Freight Rate Association.The purpose of the organization is to organize the State and arouse the people to the injustice of the North Carolina freight rates.To arouse the people they must be shown the injustice of the freight rate discrimination and its.disastrous cffect on the people. The masses are slow to move.Most people think this freight rate matter is one purely for merchants and man- ufacturers.The merchants of course add the cost of freight to the cost of goods and the consumer pays the bill, and from this:narrow viewpoint even some of the merchants feel no special concern.This class,only a few we believe,think it is the manufacturer who must meet outside competition, where lower freight rates prevail,who is concerned.The manufacturer who must sell his products outside the State or at points within the State where competitors have lower freight rates,is probably most vitally con- cerned.But what the people must learn is that this freight rate dis- crimination vitally affects every in- dividual and is therefore the concern of all the people. The dealer who sells to the con- sumer adds the freight to the cost of goods and the consumer pays the bill.In this way every individual pays a little more for his goods than he would have to pay if there was a lower freight rate,for if the freight rate was lower the dealer could sell for less,would do more business and make more profit. The concern of the manufacturer who is handicapped in meeting out- side competition by the higher freight rate is not alone the concern of those who own stock in the factory.It affects the interests of those who sell raw material to the manufacturer,the labor employed and the interests of every citizen,for the success of the manufacturer means the development of the State,the increase of wealth and population and the well being of every citizen.The unjust freight rates handicap development and in this way materially affect the whole State. The idea of the Just Freight Rate ‘Association is to organize every coun- ty amd town end township in the State and by showing the people,by facts and figures,just what —this freight rate business means and how it affects all of them,to arouse them to such action as will compel a read- justment.It is not the purpose to destroy the railroads nor to handicap them;it is not a political movement to help somebody by arousing preju- dice against corporations.It is a demand for justice and fairness.The injustice of the discrimination is so clear that it,is folly to deny it or try to explain it away.That being so, something must be done and somte- thing will be done when the people re- alize what it means.© The Democrats are right in resist- ing the efforts of the Republicans to have public hearings on the tariff bill. Such hearings have been held many times and the whole subject has been threshed out again and again.Noth- ing new can be offered.The only effect will be to delay the passage ofthebill,when it is admitted,even by those who object to tt,that the early passage of the Lill and the end of the agitation is greatly to be desired,for the quicker the bill becomes law the quicker will the business of the coun- try be adjusted to the new conditions. The effort of the Republicans to se- cure hearings is for political pur- poses only;to give the protected in- terests an opportunity,as Senator Simmons says,to make stump speech- es and howl calamity. The protected interests are of -course telling their employes and the country that dire consequences will follow the enactment of the Democrat- ic tariff bill and it is their evident purpose to reduce wages,and curtail production,in.tome cases at least, to make the country believe the pre- dictions are verified.Secretary Red- field of the Department of Labor and Commerce has properly served no- ‘tice that these cases will be investi- gated by the government.The bene- ficiaries of the protective tariff will stop at nothing to save themselves the A privileges that they have en- yed and their efforts to force the country to continue to pay them trib- -)ute should be resisted by every THE PLATFORM REMEMBERED. Statesville Landmark in com- mending the Observer's advice against calamity howling,suggests that this r “quit trying to make it appear that’the Democratic party is,in the |matter of the tariff,doing otherthan it has promised the cquntyy all these years it would do given power.” It hasn’t been “all these years”since the convention was held in Baltimore, has it?Funny how they are inclined to forget the Baltimore platform.— Charlotte Observer.he Oh,no!The Baltimore platform isn’t forgotten.But practically all of the people who made that platform and endorsed it will contend that the present tariff bill is but carrying out the pledges and the promises of the platform,which endorsed the party’s past record in tariff legislation.Its present record isin line with the past. Of course the Observer will cite the following paragraph from the.Balti- more platform: “We recognize that our system of tariff taxation is intimately connected with the business of the country,and we favor the ultimate attainment of the principles we advocate by legisla- tion that will not injure or destroy legitimate industry.” That’s all right.The men who made the tariff bill—which was en- dorsed by all the Democrats in the House save five,and by enough Re- publicans to more than make up for the five Democrats—will tell you that the bill will not “injure or destroy legitimate industry.”Some of the industries effected honestly —believe they will be injured.This is natural, but if the views of those who profit by the tariff must be accepted,then no reduction.of consequence can be made.The railroad freight rate is a parallel case.The railroads say they will be ruined if they change the North Carolina freight rates as de- manded.The Observer doesn’t believe they will be.The railroads said the same thing about the reduction of passenger rates,but we all know they profited by the reduction and that they will in the end profit by a fair adjustment of the freight rates. The Baltimore platform has not been forgotten nor repudiated.Only those who believe,yr proress to be- lieve,that it meant that no change of consequence wovld be made in the tariff where objection was offered,can so hold. The drought seems to be pretty general.Some farmers in this part of the country haven’t been able to finish planting and some crops plant- ed can’t get out of the ground for lack of moisture.The recent cool weather,added to the drought,has been bad for the cotton.The plants that have come out of the ground do not thrive.But it’s probably all for the best.An Iredell farmer told The Landmark a few days ago that a larg- er crop of cotton than usual was be- ing planted.A large crop means a lower price._A-lower_price for cot- ton this fall would of course be charg- ed to the Wilson administration.The Almighty has to regulate the cot- ton crop.Whenever there is a short crop,which usually brings more mon- ey than a big one,it is due to un- favorable weather.Maybe the drought is to cut off the cotton crop ard thus help the farmer—and incidentally ashortcropandbetterpricesmayhelp the Democrats. The New Hanover county ex-chain gang superintendent,who has been sentenced to a year’s duty on the road force which he formerly bossed,has been hoist by bis own petard,so to speak.Anyway he will know how it feels to work on a chain gang.-If every convict boss had to work for a season in the ranks there would be less complaint of cruelty to convicts. The Strength of the Prohibition Sen- timent-—It is Growing. Greensboro News. Some of our friends who profess to believe ‘that the “prohibition wave” has about spent its force and that henceforth there will be a gradnal re- turn to the open saloon and high li-- cense,would do well to take a glance at the wet and dry map-prepared by the Anti-Saloon Leaguc since the re- cent spring elections.The map showsthatapopulationofmorethan46,- 000,000 is now living under the no-li- cense system and that of the 2,856countiesintheUnitedStatesover 1,700,or nearly two-thirds,have abol- ished saloons.More than 600 cities having a population of 5,000 or norehavebanishedtheopensaloonwhilenineStateshaveState-wide prohibi- tion. An interesting feature of the fight against liquor and one that may ulti- mately have afar-reaching’effect,is found in the Michigan \Legislature,which has adopted a_resolution re- questing Congress to submit to thepeopleofthecountry—by referen- dum vote—an amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor anywhere in theUnitedStates.The Anti-Saloon League,we are told,has announceditsintentionofworkingforthat proposition.We believe that if the sale of liq- uor in the United States is left to a vote of the people strong drink will be banished and that the long-sought aim of the temperance peoplé to make this nation a country of sober men will be accomplished.° _The Senate of the New Jersey Leg-islature has passed the jury reformbilladvocatedbyPresidentWilsonbutitistobereferred~to the peo-ple for adoption.

An interesting item gleaned from the reports of the Associated Press is to the effect thet,according to Prof. Paul Haupt,of Johns Hopkins Uni- versity,in an address vefore theAmericanPhilosophicalSociety, Beelzebub was regarded by the an- cients ag the father of flies,not lies. This would mean that the ancients were not one whit behind the moderns in.the estimate of the fly.As to Beelzebub,we would say that Pro- fessor Haupt’s discovery is not a dis- covery.e would refer to an edi- torial in the Christian Advocate of July 29,1910.The following words are taken from that editorial:“Long ago the people of Ekron worshiped the god of flies;but their neighbors,the Jews,hated him and called himtheprinceofdevils.The people ofEkronevidentlythoughtthatthe could.make terms with the fly oe They believed that sacrifice and in-cense would appease him,and that he could be induced to restrain his. swarms of winged pests—-files,gnats, mosquitoes—from annoying ‘his wor-'shipers too much.It seems that the connection between flies and diseasewasknowntobothHebrewsandPhil- istines,for Ahaziah sent to Ekron toaskthehelpofBeelzebubwhenhewassick.It is quite possible that his- sickness was malaria,and was brought to him by flies,for it began with a fainting fit.**We havesucceededasnoothergenerationhasbeforeusinseeingtheinvisible.The ancients could only suspect the flies of carrying disease,but we have caught them in the act.Fortunately, there is no question now of war or worship,All are agreed that such sts are not to be ruled by kindness. eelzebub'must be fought,not wor-shiped.” Mr.Bryan Discusses Democracy and Aristocracy—A Prediction. While in Harrisburg,Pa.,to speak at the Jefferson anniversary dinner of the Democratic club of Harrisburg,Secretary of State Bryan addressed the Pennsylvania legislators by re- quest.He predicted that before an- other general election the presiden- tial primary will be so general that there will be no need to hold national conventions,and that presidential nominees will be named not by party leaders or bosses,but by the people. “Jefferson a century ago spoke of two parties,”he said.“One was the Democratic party and the other the aristocratic party.The democratic party is that party which tries to bring the government near the peo- ple,and the aristocratic party is that which desires to restrain and obstruct popular government.It is import- ant to know whether the legislative representative is holding to the dem- ocratic idea or to the aristocratic idea. It is a settled principle of this country that a platform is binding upon every man that runs on that platform.Some men violate platforms because they say they cannot violate their con- science.No man should violate his conscience,but that does not mean that he should violate his party plat- form.It means that his conscience should begin to work before he is elected and not afterward.A man who violates a party platform and be- trays his party and the people is a criminal worse than the man who embezzles money. “Now let me tell you something else. The day of the boss is gone.The peo- ple will write their own platforms hereafter and send their own repre- sentatives to the legislative halls.” Republicans Hold a Get-Together Conference.

The Rights of Women as Judge Clark Would Have Them. In his address before the State Fed- eration of Women’s clubs at New Berne,Chief Justice Walter Clark,in giving the legal status of women in North Carolina,past,present and future summed up the rights of wo- men as follows: “Equal pay for equal services; equality rights,so that a wife may have the same control over her prop- erty as her single sister or her hus- band;repeal of all judicial decisions that give the husband the right to chastise or imprison her;which give him more control over her than she has over him;and an equal share in the conduct of the government by equal right to the ballot in the se- lection of officers or in taxing her property,and equality of right to holdoffice.”The Chief Justice declares that there is nothing wrong in de- manding equality of these matters and that now that women are edu- cated and hold property,equality of right to the suffrage and to hold of- fice cannot be long denied them.Wo- men will rarely,he says,desire toholdoffice,but it is insulting to beheldbylawunfitforit.

FRIDAY, IREDELL MEN captain of the company.‘Clinton M.‘Jand S.Jay Andrews of this companywerebrothersofCapt.John B.An-drews of the Fourth regiment.Thirty-third Regiment. The successive captains of Compa-ny A,the Iredell company of the Thirty-third regiment,were Robert V.Cowan,Joseph H.Saunders,Henry H.Baker and James A,Sumniers. Among its lieutenants were GeorgeGibson,H.A.Hill,P.H.Sasser,Co- lumbus L.Turner,Thomas A.Cowan and M.Whaler.Robert V.Cowan, Columbus L.Turner and myself had been students at Olin in 1858.CowanafterwardswenttotheUnitedStatesMilitaryAcademyatWestPointand was there when the war bevan,He at once came home,entered the Con- federate service and before the end ofthewarwascoloneloftheThirty-third regiment.He refused’to sur- render at Appomattox.‘The Thirty-third was one of the fighting regi- ments of the war and Company A diditsfullpartintheservice. Forty-Eighth Regiment. Robert C.Hill of Iredell county wasthefirstcolonelofthelorty-eighthregiment.His health was not robust and he died in December,1863. The first captain of Company C, the Iredell company in that regiment, was Arthur M.Walker,who had been a militia colonel and was too old for active service in the field.But he went,nevertheless.He was wound- ed in the battles around Richmond, June 25,1862.An:ong his lieuten- ants were John K.Potts,who became captain,and M.Stokes Brem,who was killed at Fredericksburg,Va.,in December,1862. Forty-Ninth Regiment. At the organization of the Forty- ninth regiment,early in 1862,William A.Eliason of Iredell county was elected lieutenant ‘colonel.He had been a lieutenant in Company A,(Ire- dell Blues)of the Fourth regiment. He subsequently resigned from the Forty-ninth regiment.Companies C and E of this regiment were often spoken of as Iredell companies.Both captains of Company C and some of the menwere from Iredell,but most of the men of the company were from Rowan.Pinckney B.Chambers,the first captain of the company,lived in Iredeli near the Rowan line and was .|well acquainted in the latter county. He and Charles C.Krider,both long time friends and acquaintances in the congregation of old Third Creek Pres- byterian church in the edge of Rowan county,undertook to raise a company. In order to complete it in the hurry demand for troops early in 1362,they united with Ciles Bowers of Gold Hill.When P.Lb.Chambers was pro- moted to major in 1862,he .war suc- ceeded by Henry A.Chambers of Ire- dell,who commanded the company un- til the end of the war. Company FE was an Iredell company. Its first captain was Alexancer D.Moore.Among the lieutenants were Edwin V.Harris of Cabarrus,who" afterwards became captain,and John T.Crawford of Iredell. Fifty-Fourth Regiment.Company E of this regiment is credited to lredell county in the regi- mental histories of North Carolina, but I have beer able to learn little about it.Some Iredell men were in it. Fifty-Sixth Regiment. Company K of the Fifty-sixth reg- iment was made up mainly of iredell and Mecklenburg men.Some David- son College students from other coun- ties and States also belonged to it. Its first captain was Frank R.Alex- ander,who was a Davidson student from Mecklenburg.He was ‘yound- ed and died in’June,1864.at Peters-burg,Va.He was succeeded as cap- tain by John F.McNeely of Iredell. James W.Shepherd of Lrede!!was one of the lieutenants. This is a mere outline of the com- panies which on May 10,1863,Ire- dell county was interested.What a flood of memories the mere mention of them:brings to the minds of the old veterans and others old enonghtorecalltheincidentsoftheConféd- erate war!We have mentioned only officers,but in the ranks were the men who made the officers and many of whom are equally deserving of men- tion and remembrance.The men who went out from Iredell to the war did not know that they were heroes but they were nevertheless.Withovt pra- tense or display,they illustrated the sturdy qualities of their race and showed that in this good county of Iredell the virtues of their ancestors had not been lost.One thing that should be considered in estimating the qualities of their character and conduct,but which I do not remem- ber as having been specially mention- ed,or at least emphasized,and which seems to me important,is their pre- vious political training. Political Affiliations, In the division of political par- ties before the Confederate wear,the voters of Iredell county were over- whelmingly against the then ])emo- cratic party.They believed in the policies advocated by Clay and Web- ster and were strongly opposed to those advocated by Calhoun and Yan- cey.They followed the lead of such distinguished North Carolininas asW.P.Mangum,John M.Morehead, George E.Badger,William A.Gra- ham,Alfred Dockery and John A,Gil-mer;and such locat men as JosephPearsonCaldwell,John H.MecLaugh- lin,Thomas_A.Alltson,John and Franklin Davidson,Wilfred Turner, Walter Caldwell,Mansfield Campbell,Quincy Sharpe,Anderson Mitchell and W.I’.Wasson. Away back as far as 184(they vot- ed for William Henry WUarrison and Tyler;in 1844 for Clay and Freling-huysen;in-1848 for Taylor and Fill-more;and 1852 for General WinfieldScottandEx-Governor William A.

And so it was,too,that the Tredell men who went into the military serv- ice were not,like those in Democrat- ic and secession communities,ani- mated by an enthus*asm born of long cherished hatred of the North and belief in the policy of secession.But in the always prevailing spirit of the Iredell people,they went in from a sober sense of duty aad many of them from their previous training under the leaders before mentioned,w'th serious forebodings for the final result.And this spirit of paramount duty ani- mated and controlled them through- out the entire struggle.And it seems to me that this fact ouyht to add to the credit of the Iredell sol- diers and people who,when they de- cided on their course,entered and maintained the struggle with such steady courage,patriotism and forti- tude.The man who,with full knowl- edge and er of the dun- ger,acts with cool courage in the performance of pertious duty,de- serves more admiration than one who acts without knowledge upon impulae or temporary excitement and enthu+ siasm.And so I claim credit for the Iredell soldiers A History of the County. Bear with me just a little longer. The preparation of this address,the gathering together of the facts men- tioned and recalling the names of the Iredell men of whom I have spoken, has been to me a labor of love.It has deepened my reverence for the memories of the Iredell soldiers who, in faithful performance of duty,lost their lives in the Confederate service. It has strengthened my respect for those who survived with honor.It made me prouder than ever of my na- tive county and of its people from among whom such soldiers came,and who sustained them with such mar- velous fidelity,euffermgs and unsel- fish sacrifices.It made me,even af- ter all these years with a home and warm friends elsewhere,regret,in a measure,that,like many others,T had gone away from the county.I have no doubt that many other non-resi dent sons and daughters of Iredell, who may have occasion to review the war history of the county,would feel the same way.What a splendid peo- ple they were that lived in.Iredell county fram 1861 to 1865!What splendid soldiers they sent to the Con® federate army!

Using an “original Wilson man” from Michigan with a fluent pen for an oracle,the anti-free sugar Demo crats,led by Senator Ransdell of assailed the Underwood sugar,schedule in the Senate today despite strenuous efforts of Senator Simmons and other Democrats to stop Louisiana, the flow of the attack. Republicans enjoyed the efforts of the Democratic leaders to prevent the reading of a long letter submitted ny Senator Ransdell,written by LewisC.

Senators James,Meyers,Simmons and other Democratic leaders.In his plea from Michigan,President Wil- son’s attitade cn sugar,the party platform pledges and the President’s campaign pledges not to hurt any legitimate industry were recalled,the writer declaring “there is almost im- minent danger that in his almost hil- arious enthusiasm for the Democratic ideals,the President “tries to do too much.” Discussing the attitude of the Dem- ocratic party toward-the sugar tariff, Senator James asked Senator Rans- dell if he did not think that the plat- form of the party gave fair warning to Louisiana.Mr.Ransdell emphati- cally replied “no”and the Kentucky Senator then proceeded to read from the platform endorsing what the par- ty did last year and demanding reduc- tions to reduce the cost of living.In this connection the Louisiana Sena- tor referred to a*statement in the Rowley letter which said “neither in his campaign for the Democratic nomination nor for his election did .Mr.Wilson pledge himself to give the country free sugar.On the contrary whenever he was asked about his pos- jtion on the sugar tariff,he distinctly declared that he was against any tar- iff changes that would injure or de- stroy any legitimate industry.” Senators Discuss Public Hearings—Mr.Simmons Answers Critics. Senator Simmons,chairman of the finance committee,and Senator Pen- rose,leading the Republican fight to refer the Underwood bill with instruc- tions for publi¢hearings,delivered oratorical broadsides against other in the Senate Tuesday. Senator Penrose likened the secret caucus of the tariff bill to the “meth-and sidesodsoftheSpanishinquisition” brought laughter from both when he described the caucus and de- clared no one was present to witness the “murder of American industry.” Senator Simmons declared that if the Democratic purpose to eliminatehearingscouldbecalledreprehensi- ble,it was the first time the Demo- cratic party had copied the methods of the Republicans,and he argued at length why public hearings were not necessary,averring that they «were not even demanded. During the debate Senator Penrose referred to Senator Simmons’atti- tude on the lumber schedule four years ago,when the Payne -Aldrich bill was under consideration.Senator Simmons answered that the Under- wood bill provided -for everything he advocated four years ago if lumber was to be placed on the free list. “That being so,”he said,“I will vote with pleasure for free lumber.”Senator Simmons charged that avhat the Republicans sought through public hearings was an opportunity RU Ktiwuge c--Mump speeches by the interests and to give the gentlemen representing the interests which grew rich ander Republican protection an opportunity to declare that if the Payne-Aldrich rates are reduced one per cent their industries will be de- stroyed,and give them a chance to make an appeal from the judgment of the country expressed in the Novem- ber elections.

Rowan county grand jury,which under instruction from Judge Long looked into the construction of thenew.Rowan court house,which is to cost $125,000 when complete,employ- ed a committee of experts to exam- ine the building as to quality of stone and workmanship,and this commit- tee’s report is attached to the jury'sreport,The experts state that thestoneusedinthesidesandfrontof the building was taken from boulders or from near the surrace of the quar- ry,and shows serious discolorations and a wide variety of texture and is entirely unsuited for use as an orna- mental building stone.“It is not at all representative of the Rowan coun-ty granite and shovld not have heen allowed to be used in the building,” says the report.The stones were not cut scuare and it was impossible toputthemupplumbandtrue.Speci-fications called for six-cut stone and the kind used is hardly a four-cutstone.“The committee recommends that all the granite in the front of the building be removed and that the best quality of Rowan county gran- ite,of uniform color,be put in itsplace.”The rear wall,which is of brick,showed poor workmanship,but as the wall is solid it was recommend- ed that no action be taken on it.rhe committee’s plumb line applied to the corners of the building showed them to be out of plumb from three-fourthstotwoandahalfinches,making thebuildinglargeratthetop~than be- low the water table. The grand jury recommended that the commissioners “require,proper grade of stone and proper workman- ship.They say the inspector now em- ployed is unfit and unqualified and recommend his dismissal and that a competent man be put in.The report continues:‘We further report that we condemn the building from start to as far as now completed.We find that there has been paid $52,400, which is in excess of the worth of thebuildinginitspresentcondition,«and therefore ask that no further pay- ment be made’or work be done until the matter has been thoroughly ad- justed. Judge Long referred the report to the county commissioners for action. The building is being erected by the King Lumber Companyof Charlottes- ville,Va. Along with its report the grand ju- ry returned true bills of indictment against the entire present board of county commissioners for failure to do their duty as public officials;also true bills against P.A.Hartman and Fred.McCanless,public officials,forcontractingtodopublicwork.These men were both members of the board of county commissioners when they secured the contract to furnish the stone for the court house.Mr.Hart- man is still a member of the board. Democrats Open National Headquar- ters in Washington. Permanent national headquarters of the Democratic national commit- tee were opened in Washington this weck and Thomas J.Pence,a North Carolinian,is in charge.Mr.Pence, at a recent meeting of the national committee,was made assistant to Chairman William #.McCombs. Chairman McCombs is in Europe and during his absence Mr.Pence will ac- tually be chairman of the national committee,Offices have been reased and Mr. Pence will conduct an active cam- paign from now until after the elec- tion in 1916.One of the main feat- ures of his work will be to distrib- ute literature throughout the country and conduct a kind of educational campaign bureau.The papers thatonothaveWashingtoncorrespond- ents will be supplied with letters and articles telling of what the adminis- tration is acconiplishing.The dom- inating idea of the undertaking is to acquaint the voter,through the press and otherwise,with what is actually going on in Washington.An appeal will be made to the intelligence of"the voter,who realizes at last that he has been taken into partnership in the matter of ranning the government.Of course the organization work will not be overlooked,but by far the most im- portant task planned is the education- al one. This is the first attempt of the par- ty to maintain permanent national headquarters.“Heretofore the effort has been confined to the few months of a presidential campaign.The Democratic eongressional committee is also getting in shape for the cam- paign.The Democrats are determin- ed to keep the country advised as to the work and aims of the administra-tion. Senator Goff of West Virginia Draws Two Salaries. Senator Nathan Goff of West Vir- ginia,Republican,draws two salaries from the United States Treasury,the totals aggregating $14,500 annually. When elected Senator Goff was a judge of the United States Circuit Court.The law allows any Federal judge who has served ten years and reached the age of 70,to retire-on full pay.Goff was eligible to retire- ment on full pay—$7,000 a year—as judge when elected to the Senate.He i resigned and asked for the retirement d allowance,notwithstanding his namerkhadindicatedhehadplanned,is loose maT,on th in his head,and goes on to express|th the hope that Mr.Funderburk will be|o, e Senate payroll March 4 7,500 a year.The comptroller of Treasury decided that Goff can le- y draw both salaries.He holds Congr eign,feat 0.WhicheSayeareWastm. In the Saelection lastfallH.Olin Smith of Ishpeming,Mich.,for ten years a Republican Representative in Con S$,was iposedbyWilliamJ.McDonald,ProgressiveRepublican.When the voteswerecounted458vallotswerefoundfor“Sheldon William J.McDonald.”Strictly speaking,there was no suchcandidate,the 458 ballots were notcountedandSmithwasdeclaredelect- ed by an apparent majority of 281 votes.It being apparent that the 458votesfor“Sheldon William ‘J.“Me-Donald”were intended for WilliamJ.McDonald,which would have giv-en him the election,Smith had some seruples about accepting the certifi-cate of election.Mr.Mann of Mli- nois,the Repuilican House leader, and other friends,adyised him that he was legally elected and should ac-cept the certificate.He did so and McDonald filed rotice of contest. Smith’s honest convictions finally got the upper hand.In the Houselastweek,in a voice that choked with emotion,he gave notice that he hadresignedandsaid:“I am convinced that those 458 electors intended to vote for William J.McDonald,and while under the law he is not entitled to those votes,I do not care to holdaseatthatmaybequestionedbyhon- orable.and disinterested men.”GoodforMr.Smith!He did the properthing.Whether McDonald can legal-ly be given the place ts doubtful,but Smith has “come clean.” Talk While Asleep Not Good Evidence in Court. The Supreme Court of Colorado holds that a person may not be con- victed of murder by the use of his own admission made while talking in his sleep.The case of Jose Martinez, convicted of mardering a woman and sentenced to tife imprisonment,was sent back to the district court with instructions to try the defendantagainwithoutpermittingtheprose- cution to introduce Martinez’s somnil- oquent testimony. At Martinez’s first trial a jail guardtestifiedthedefendantinhissleepre-peated over and over again,“I kill- ed her.”Largely through this testi- mony the man was convicted.TheSupremeCourtruledtheconfession of a defendant can be used against him only when given voluntarily;that when the confession is made during sleep it is not voluntary. There are doubtless many men who have been embarrassed by havingtheirutteranceswhileasleepquotedagainstthem,who will not only heart- ily agree that the Colorado court de- cision is correct,but will also contendthattheremarksmadeinsleepshould not be considered under any circum- stances.

Statesville College Commencement The opening event of Statesville Female College commencement was the plain and practical sermon on “The Call to Service,”to the graduat- ing class of the college,at the FirstSundaymorning by Rev.E.D.Brown of Loray.The sermon,which was made very impres- sive by its gospel-like simplicity,was based on the story of Christ’s arrival at the home of Lazarus in response to the call of Martha and Mary on account of the illness and subsequent death of Lazarus,and the text was “The Master is discourse Brown emphasized the fact that this was a personal cal)4o a woman— Mary—and coupled with the call It is a message for all and is as true today as then,for the Master or Teacher has come.The fact.Our danger is that so familiar by unheeded.\The greatest truth of our religion is the fact that the Mas- should give heed;when He calls we should quickly respond.As the God- man he revealed God to us and He knows what it is to be sad,tempted, misunderstood.Being made like unto man He is accessible to us.

THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,May:20,1913. COMMENTONVARIOUSMATTERS Senator Simmons deniés that he said he would,oppose the confirma- tion of any appointee to the collec- torship other than Watts.The Land- mark gave him credit for more wis- dom and expressed its disbelief when the report appeared. Representative Stedman is backing John Oliver for postmaster at Reids- ville and is daily receiving the strong- est kind of endorsements as to his character ad fitness for the position from patrons of the office,yet we are told that Senator Simmons has an- nounced that he will.oppose his con- firmation and defeat him ifpossible.— Greensboro Record. It makes a difference.Mr.Simmons has his reasons for opposing Mr. Oliver,notwithstanding Mr.Oliver’s endorsements and his recommenda- tion by Congressman Stedman.On the other hand Mr.Watts is highly endorsed and recommended for collec- tor,Mr.Simmons thinks he should have the place and if he is turned down the Senator will be displeased. It makes a big difference as to your personal feeling in the matter. a President Wilson came out strongly today as the champion of free wool and free-sugar-in-three-years as pro- vided for in the tariff bill recently passed by the House.He announced emphatically that he was not consider- ing compromises of any sort;that he stood squarely behind the measure as it passed the House and that he re- garded it as the duty of the Demo- cratic majority in the Senate to ful- fill its platform pledge by enacting the House bill into law.“I am not the -kind,”said the President,“that *eould ask compromises when I once take my position.I have taken my stand with the House leaders for the resent bill.Enough said .I am not ooking for or accepting compromis- es.”This comes in a dispatch from Washington.The Charlotte Observ- er and others who have been claim- ing.that the tariff bill violates thepledgesoftheBaltimoreplatform, will take notice that President Wilson says it is fulfilling the platform pledge.Surely none of them will call the President of the United States a liar. **o The attention of the Statesville Landmark is called to the fact that Judge B.F.Long,who is holding court here this week,did not arrive Monday until noon and that the grand jury,petit jury,witnesses,lawyers and others interested were kept wait- ing almost a half day.We have not yet heard of the judge entering a fine for his tardiness This is a chance for The Landmark to hit at one who is in réach.—Salisbury Watchman. The Landmark has always contend- ed that a judge should be on hand to open court at the regular hour,un- less providentially hindered;"that he should not be guilty of an offence which he would not tolerate in wit- nesses and jurors—and that opinion is not changed by the alleged tardi- ness of Judge Long.It can say with truth,however,that Judge Long is probably the most industrious worker on the bench with the possible exception of Judge Whedbee;and in- asmuch as he finished the business of each week’s term of Rowan court by the middle of the week he may not have deemed it necessary to be in a hurry to open court on time.This is not said as an apology for him but simply to state the facts.The Watch- man’s intimation that The Landmark criticises only at long range is con- trary to.the facts,as that paper wellknows.4 *s 7 “The Observer's main idea in all this tariff discussion,”says our Char- lotte contemporary,“has been to coun- sel against precipitancy.It has nofellowshipwiththosewhgholdthat caution is treason.”Neither does The Landmark hold that “taution is treas- on.”But it does hold that violated faith,a failure to redeem oft-madeé pledges,is treason.For that reason it is standing by the Democrats in Congress who are trying to do what the party has all these years promised it would do if given power,The idea that the Democrats,after having preached tariff reduction in season and out,contending ‘on every stump and in every Democratic newspaper, including the Observer,that protec- tion is robbery under form of law, should turn around now,when they have an opportunity to put their theories in practice,and allow this “robbery under form of law”to becontinuedbycertain’favored indus-tries in Democratic territory,is utter- ly indefensible.The attention of the Observer and others who are fond of quoting the Baltimore platform,is‘directed to the discussion between Senators Iesses and Ranadell last Friday.Mr.Ransdell thinks freeBugarisfreetrade,put while vio-lently opposing free sugar he votes for free shoes and other articles onthefreelistinwhichhispeopleare not interested and ignores the factthat—theBaltimore platform,while promising that no legitimate industryshouldbeinjuredordestroyed,alsoindorsedtherecordofthelastDemo- -cratic.Congress,which included a freepoetbill.Moreover it might be“well to consider the meaning of “legit- INSTANCES OF DISCRIMINATION A Greensboro Man Cites Cases to Show How the Freight Rate Works. Talking to the Greensboro News about the freight rate discrimination, Mr.C.H.Ireland,president of the Odell Hardware Company of Greens- boro,said:/ “The people pf this State have no idea of what this fight means.They know in a general way that the rates are unjust,but only the shipper who sees his profits being filched away from him can fully understand,Had I spent the same amount of energy and industry in building wp my busi- ness in Lynchburg that I have in Greensboro,I would have been a rich man by this time.I have a.friend in one of the Virginia cities who is engaged in the same business that I am.He is a good business man,but no better,I believe,than I am,and he thinks not so good.The volume of my business greatly exceeds his,yet he is making $5 where I make $1, and whereas we started five years ago about equal,he is worth $10 to my $1 today.Why? on:He has four traveling salesmen traveling South Carolina, have been compelled to withdraw ev- ery one of mine,simply because thefreightratesfromGreensboroweremorethantheprofitonthegoods. Well,here is one reas- while I To illustrate,only yesterday a man in a little town 69-odd miles below Rock Hill wanted to buy a certain article that costs,at the factory,$1.90.The hardware men figure that they should make 10 cents profit on that article and sell it for $2,plus freight charges.The railroads charge 20 cents to haul that article to Lyrch- burg from the factory,500 miles; then they charge a little over 15 cents to haul it on to Greensboro,114 miles further,se that the Virginia man can sell it in Lynchburg for $2.20 while I have to charge here $2.35—a differ- ence of 15 cents.But to haul it from Lynchburg to South Carolina,or from Greensboro to South Carolina,they charge exactly the same thing.There- fore the total freight rate is 15 cents higher simply because the article was put off at Greensboro.As the orig- inal profit was-only 10 cents,I am bound to charge the South Carolina man five cents more than the Virgin- ian charges him in order to break even.That is why I have had to withdraw my men from South Caro- ina.’ “But it doesn’t stop with that..The rate on the same article from Greens- boro to High Point is seven cents, from Lynchburg 15 vents,so that while the Lynchburg man can make 10 cents by selling it in High Point for $2.35,I make onty three cents. In other words,I must sell more than three times as much as the Virginia man to make the same profit.~That is why,though the volume of my busi-ness exceeds his,his profits exceed mine.That condition grows worse and worse as you go South until Charlotte is passed,after which the rate is the,same from the North Car- olina and Virginia cities.An article can be shipped from Alexandria,Va., to Benton,S.C.,for exactly the same amount that is charged for shipment from Greensboro,regardless of the is 500 miles longer.” Thinks the Governor Was in Error. Greensboro News. We are nevertheless persuaded that Governor Craig has fallen into error, if it is true,as reported,that he rep- resented to the President that 90 per cent of the Democrats favor the ap- pointment of Watts to a high position under the Wilson administration.We think,on the contrary,that the Gov- ernor and the rest of the delegation would have occupied much safer ground,had they told the President that something like half the Demo# crats who comprise the Democratic machinery,rejoiced with an exceeding great joy when State Senator Watts flouted the President and his policies during the session of the Legislature. If Governor Craig had told the Presi- dent that 50 or 60 per cent of the “leaders”chortled with glee when Watts resisted the resolution inviting the President to addresg the Legis-lature,because he did not wis to )ist- entoany (***)nonsense,then the Governor and the rest of the del- egation would have been so clearly within the facts as to successfully defy challenge.Moreover,it may be said,that this machine emotion is precisely of a kind with that experi- enced by the esteemed Observer.Nev-er before has the Ubserver smiled upon Senator Watts with such unre-served favor.The course pursued by Mr Watts during the Legislature met with its unalloyed approval;our con- temporary would much rather see the the Iredell man President of the Unit- ed States,than to see Mr.Wilson inthatposition.

The Old-Time Ball Game at.Trout- man and the Singing. Correspondence of The Landmark. A large crowd attended the reunion of J.S.Leonard’s old pupils at Troutman Saturday and engaged in the ball games and singing.The ball used was made of yarn raveled from socks knit with knitting needles.It was presented by Mrs.Amanda Beav- er of Cool Spring township,and cover- ed by Mr.J,S.Fry of Statesville. The clouds threatened rain every minute;Mr.D.A.Perry,who was one of the captains,was found in bed with a crippled back,and R.R.leon- ard,Mr.Perry’s competitor,had just laid aside his crutches to try a few steps while battling with rheumatism. Things looked rather gloomy but the crowd gathered and when it was de- termined there should be a game, “rain or shine,”Mr.Leonard went to Mr.Perry’s bed side and informed him of conditions on the ball grounds. Mr.Perry exclaimed,“By George, I’m going to get up.”.The two cap- tains made their way to the ball grounds,their afflictions forgotten and were boys again.Men and wo- mer engaged in the games,and I am persuaded that wher the games were completed every rheumatic limb and aching back was cured;and if laugh- ing is better for indigestion than a physic two or three hundred dispep- ties are on their way to recovery. The singing was fine,and by unan- imous vote the first Saturday after the 10th of May,1914,was chosen for the next meeting.ONE PRESENT. Notices of New Advertisements.

The May term of Iredell Superior Court began yesterday,Judge Long on the bench.Mr.M.D.Stinson of Statesville is foreman of-the grand jury..Judge Lonig’s charge to the ju- ry was different from the usual form. He discussed the origin of the grand jury and its duty as to public affairs yather than its duty as to crimes and misdemeanors,which is supposed to be understood.He explained the dif- ference between prosecutions without the intervention of the grand jury, when the prosecuting officer had .the privilege of deciding who should and who should not be prosecuted,and our system which provides equal justice for all.“In New Jersey the sheriifs draw the juries and the sheriff can, if he is so disposed,choose a.jury that will convict or one that will ac- quit.This system is so bad that the President of the United States has used his influence to correct it. Our county -commissioners draw ihe juries,said Judge Long,but they have no control over the jaries.It is their duty to revise the jury lists and thé grand jury should inquire if this has been done.The conduct and administration of all public officers should be looked into.The county commissioners have the disposition of a road fund of $400,000.The grand jury has a right to inquire if this fund is properly administered,to see that no favors are shown and that no public official has a contract in viola- tion of law.The same inquiry,the judge instructed the jury,is to be applied to the affairs of towns as well-as—-counties and to the public schools as well. The following cases were disposed of yesterday: B.R.Towell gambling;plead each and cost, Emma Armstrong, deadly weapon;plead 320 and cost. Xenophen Lunsford,assavlt with deadly weapon;plead guilty.E.-F. Cass,a State’s witness in this case, failed to answer.He was fined $50 and not allowed to prove his attend ance .

On the motion of Mr.Wm.Wal- lace a committee was appointed —by President Poston to draft resolutions expressing the sense of the meeting. The committee,composed of Mr.Wal’ lace,G.E.French and R..R.Clark, reported the following,which were unanimously adopted: “This association has heard.withpleasurethereportofthedelegaces to the meeting to organize the Just Freight Rate Association in Raleigh and of the interest manifested in the fight for fair and just freight rates. “We desire to express our.grati- fication at’the earnest effort being made by Gov.Craig in this behalf, and we hereby pledge the Governor our united and earnest support, “We resolve as an association,in- dividually and collectively,that we will use every effort to inform and arouse our people as to the great injustice every citizen suffers by reas- on of the present discriminatory rates,so that they may impress up- on the members of the Legislature the importance of enacting legisla- tion,if necessary,to obtain the need- ed relief.” The merchants’associations of the State have been working for years to obtain relief from unjust freight rates and have done more than any other agency to arouse public inter- est in the matter.In that good work and other forward movements the lo- cal association has been an impor- tant factor. At the suggestion of Mr.J.A. Hartness,President Poston appoint- ed a committee to meet Gay.Crair on his arrival here this afternoon.It is the purpose to take the Governor to the Commercial club,where citi- zens will be invited to meet him,and tomorrow forenoon to drive him over town and the surrounding country.Following is the committee!J.A.

A sci fa case in which John Drum and C.A.Drum were interested, was settled on the payment of $100. John,Andrew Scott,Jr.,took the oath as an attorney. four The case of F.M.Howard,who was acquitted of vagrancy attracted un- usual attention.Howard lives at Mooresville.He has no _business there and owns no ¢tsible property. While he didn’t work he seemed well supplied with money and always paid his bills.It developed that he rep- resented a whiskey house and he wassuspectedofsoliciting’orders for whiskey at Mooresville.There was no evidence,however,that Howard did this or that he had ‘violated any law,but he was regarded as an un-desirable citizen and a warrant wasissuedforhimforvagrancy.He was tried before the mayor of Moores- ville last December,convicted and thecaseappealed.A large number ofMooresvillecitizenswerehereaswit-nesses when the case was tried Tues-day.Messrs.Z.V.Turlington ofMooresvilleandL.C.Caldwell ofStatesvillewereemployedtoassistthesolicitorintheprosecution,while the defendant was «represented byHon.F.I.Osborne of Charlotte and Mr.Z.V.Long of S ille.How--Ute Géetited tht hemadehis living oP Messrs Cornelius and Hawn Were in the Automobile. Frank Davis,the colored man who was in the buggy with Lee Thomas, colored,last:Friday,when both were thrown out by the mule running away |: and ‘Thomas received injuries fromwhichhediednextday,tells The Landmark that the occupants of theautomobileatwhichthemuletook fright were Messrs.Geo.Hawn and Clarence Cornelius of south Iredell; that these gentlemen got.out of the machine when the accident occurred and seemed willing to render any as- sistance they could,but as Thomas soon revived and did not seem to be seriously hurt no assistance seemed necessary. Cutting Scrape at Long Island. The Landmark learns that a fight occurred at Long Island,Catawba county,Saturday night in which a man named Eidson -was badly cut.No definite details have been learned but it is reported that a young man from Eufola,who visited Long Island, was considered an undesirable citizen py one of the Eidsons.Eidson started a row with the Eufola man with a view to running him away.Eidson’s brother went to his aid,knocked the Bufola man in a ditch and got on him. The Eufola citizen,whose name was not learned,was handy with his knife and there was a narrow escape from a burying at Long Island.The’fellow who started the disturbance was not hurt. The Raleigh Folks Who Promised to Come and Philed. The failure of Gov.Craig to fill his appointment in Statesville this week was a disappointment,but as the Governor is suffering from rheuma- tism,confined to bed part of the time, he is of course excusable. It is a fact,however,that Gov. Craig is the fourth Raleigh man who has accepted an invitation to speak at Statesville Female College within the past six or eight years and failed to come.Goy.Glenn,while Govern- or,accepted an invitation,for some cause couldn’t come and sent the late Dr.Dixon in his place.Mr.J.W. Bailey accepted an invitation,got sick and couldn’t come;Mr.JosephusDanielshadexactlythesameexpe- rience.An invitation to speak at States- ville college seems to be a hoodoo for some of the Raleigh folks. Fire Alarm and Fire Horse Hurt. The fire department was called to Davie avenue yesterday noon on ac-count of fire which had started around the flue of a house occupied by coloredpeople.The flames were extinguished without the use of the hose.The hose wagon was driven to the fire by Fire- man J.A.Walker and in the ab- sence of Fireman Burette Walker, who was at dinner at the time,Mr. Wm.Westmoreland started to the fire with the ladder truck.To avoid run- ning into a buggy at the corner of Broad and Tradd streets Mr.West- moreland was forced to turn the hors- es on the sidewalk with the result that both animals fell.The truck tongue was broken and a broken end of the tongue penetrated the side of one of the horses to a depth of an inch or more.Thé horse also received some slight skin wounds ahout the body, but its injuries are not serious.Aside from the destruction of the tonsue, there was no damage of consecuence to the truck. Graded School Teachers Leave For Home. Practically all of the out-of-town teachers of the graded school have de- arted for tnéir nomes ur exo<-where. iss Lucy Culbertson has gone to hér home at Mooresville,Miss Margaret Blow to her.home at Greenville,Miss Alice Harrié to her home-at Wake Forest,Mies Annie Rabe to her home at Salisbury,Miss Jessie Massey of Durham to High Point to visit,Miss Mary Wortham of Franklinton to Thomasvilleto visit,Miss Ellie Grier to her home at Matthews,Miss Bessie Crowell to her home at Charlotte, Miss Lettie Glass and Miss McNary to their homes in Greensboro.Misses Kate Finley of Charlotte,Frances Nixon of Greenwood,S.C.,and Marea Jordan of Durham will spend a few days here with friends.Misses Culbertson,Crowell,Finley and Grier will attend the summer school at Columbia University,New York city,this summer. While the election of the teachers for next year has not yet been held and some of those of the past yearhavenotyetdecidedwhether'they will accept re-election,it is believed that practically all of them will be here again for the next session. 4 as a salesman for a wholesale liquorhouse;that he sold only to licensed drug stores in this State and to licensed dealers elsewhere: During the progress of the case an unusual incident occurred.Mr.Les-ter Cathey of Mooresville was a wit- ness and Mr.Turlington,for the pros- ecution,in examining Mr.Cathey ask- ed him questions tending to impeach his character.Soon after the witness left the stand Mr.Turlington learned that he had ‘been misinformed and he got up and apologized for the ques- tions he asked Mr,Cathey.He said he wanted to do this publicly,in the presence of the court,jury and spec- tators,where the questions had been asked.It is not uncemmon for attor- neys to attack witnesses on the stand and in their arguments before juries, and very often the witness is sub- itothe Church;itisaneternal THE FINALS AT THE COLLEGE. Gov.Craig Couldn’t Come and Dr. Martin of Davidson Made @ Fine ‘Address on Christian Education For Women—Presentation of Diplomas and Award of Medals—-Announce- ment of Grades—Campus Exercises, ‘Ete.—Teachers Who Will Not Re- turn Next Year—Commencement Visitors.; Illness kept Governor Locke Craig from filling his appointment at States- ville college Tuesday evening,but Dr. Scott found a good substitute in the person of President Martin of David- son College,who delivered an excel- lent address which was peculiarly ap-' propriate to the occasion.In intro~ ducing Dr.Martin Prof.D.Matt Thompson expressed pleasure at h being secured as a substitute said that he didn’t see that there was so very much difference between a president of a college and the Gov- ernor of a State anyway;and to in- troduce the head of a Presbyterian college for.men to thé audience of & Presbyterian college for women was like introducing a brother to a sis- ter..Preceding the introduction -of the speaker,a hymn was sung and the opening prayer was made by:Rev.

On taking the floor Dr.Martin ex-plained that he had just returned to Davidson this week after an absence of ten days and had found much mail to be answered and many other dutiestoperform;that he was in a faew meeting up to a few minutes beforeo'clock and after giving 15 minutes to a change of dress and preparation for the trip,he entered the automo- bile which had been sent to David- son after him and sped toward Statesville.He arrived just in time for the exercises.Unlike a former occasion when he was called heré to make an aerees and had to 8 speech prepa for boys,Dr.i gaid he wanted to talk on the subject of educated women and the Chareh, The time is past wher man advocates ignorance.We all believe in educa- tion,but I want to talk on the char- acter of the education that should be given our women.Some believe one form and some in another.3 Woman’s influence is fu womanhood to train mankind.It is her right and opportunity to train the body,mind and soul.God gave to womanhood to be the mother of the race and the influence to train the race for God and humanity.You will find behind the lives of the great men of the ages a noble mother.God blesses that life which,in the very, first of its days,has had the shadow of the influence of a Godly mother thrown across it.Out of the home grows the Church and State.The home was before the Church or State and as the home is so will be the Church and State.Blessed is the home which has at its head the influ- ence of a Godly mother.I do not de- cry the influence of the father in the home.God made the father the high priest of the home.How many fa- thers there are who are shedding their responsibility on the mothers.God will bless the one assuming the re- sponsibility but will not bless the one who imposes it on another.We must answer to God for this.The influ- ence of the mother fs paramount, therefore the influence of the Chris- tian mother is fundamental.I like to court the’home as.the seed bed-of the Church.The home influence of the mother extends to every part o the Church life.The mother deter- mines who shall be the leaders in the Church—the ministers.Since the days when Samuel was dedicated by his mother to the-service of the Lord, mothers have dedicated young lives to the preaching of the gospel,and God will continue to bless the moth ers who dedicate the young life of the home to His service.The larger part of the ministers’are cognizant that their mothers made their choice for them before they were old enough to choose for themselves. The foundation of our nation is de- caying because of the decay of the home.The laws governing divorce are growing lax and the breaking of home and family ties is becoming ap- palling.Mother is the potent influ- ence to save the decay.Take the roll of any church anda you will find the women outnumber the men.A Godly woman’s influence on the mem- bership of a church is fundamental; ‘tis the Christian educated womenthataretrainingtheyounglifere- ceived into the Church.The church- es are maintained by the women.In the matters of missions,Sunday school and-society work,the womenhavebeentheleaders,I am glad that times are changing somewhat in that respect and that you now ‘ind business men gathering in great con- ferences to consider the work of God. But this awakening of the men is 4 new thing under the modern sun andisdueinalargeparttotheinfluence of the women.The women have stood four square to their duty and carried man’s.Then what is the duty of the Church ‘to the young womanhood of the home.The time comes for her to leave home for education.It be- comes a matter of tremendous import to parents,Church-and State into what kind of atmosphere that girl is sent for education.During the years of from 13 to 19 she ts susceptible to to.unwarranted abuse.But itCeoftenthatalawzerpublicly0]for this sortof thing.Mr.*r n did the manly thing, all outside influence with which she comida.ink content She.must have a #air Master and it is the duty of the Church to see that her mastery is a tender one;the influence is the proper one.It is the duty to establishschoolsjustlikethisone.All schoolshavetwogoodthingsincommon—suc-cess in handling thé physical bodies in their care and the training of the minds.We must conserve the body to have sound and sane minds and weMusttakecareoftheintelectual.God gave to man something more wonderful than either body or mindrwhenhegavethesoulandspiritual mature.Just as eternity is more im- portant than the lire here,so is thegoulimportantinits’training.ThatiswheretheChristianschooltaxesitsdeparture.It throws around theyounglivestheproperspiritualand moral influences.You can’t develop a national character without found- ing it on religious principles,and inallthiswomanhcodplaysatremen-dous part.Keep the woman in the right relationship with God.The im-ure man slays his thousands,but thempurewomanslayshertensof thousands.The Church confronts a tremendous problem,to train up a =and Gedly and educated woman- ood.Dr.Martin is a speaker of force and his masterly plea for Christian education for the woman was heard with evident interest.

Chairman Travis of the Corporation oes Gives Some Facts and res.\ Talking on the freightrate situa- tion before the»Charlotte Merchants’ Association,Chairman Travis,of the corporation commission,is thus re- ported by the Observer:: If the State proposal of a reduction of 30 per cent is accepted it would mean a reduction of $2,500,000 from the Southern,Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line and about half a million from the shorter lines.“But even if ‘the discrimination is only $3,000,- 000 instead of $5,000,000,gentlemen, that is enough.That’s more than the whole State of North Carolina col-lects in property taxes in a year.IftheStatehad,this.money it would not need to levy any property tax at all,It requires $2,500,000 income from the property tax in addition to income from other sources.So it is a serious and vital injustice,that con- fronts us. “The greatest troutle is not only the direct loss in dollars,amounting to $1 per capita,but it is the still greater loss in the handicap to the growth of business and commerce in our State.Especially is this vital at this time when competition is keen and every little disadvantage tends to keep a city or a State back. “The rates to North Carolina.in addition to being excessively high are so applied as to give.a distinct ad- vantage to Virginia cftfes,Roanoke, Lynchburg,Richmond,Petersburg and Norfolk,through which all the traffic to North Carolina from the North,East and West is presumed:to pass,these being referred to as the Virginia gateways.”3 The reason a 30 per cent réduction is asked is because that will corres- pond with the rates from Lynchburg to points between Danville and Wash- ington,where the volume of traffic is much less than it is in North Caro-lina.The railroad has reversed its principle by charging more where the traffic is greater.“We think we are absolutely within the bounds of reas- on when we ask that they apply the same rate on denser as is applied to less dense traffic.” Mr.Travis recognized as true the argument that the Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk &Western have far heavier traffic,and the same rates are not asked for.But the North Carolina rates were made in 1889 and have not been changed since.If they were fair then,and the roads made them themselves,what must be saidofthemtodaywhenthepopulation has grown from 1,600,000-.to..2,200,- 000,the manufactured products from $44,000,000 to $216,000,000 in 1909, and the agricultural products are greatly increased.The volume of traffic has increased over 150 per cent.The Seaboard in ten years has had a traffic increase of 130 per cent, the Southern’s is increasing at therateof13percentayearandtheSeaboard’s has been 7 per cent for the past six months.The Southern’s earnings already are $600,000 more the argument Bro.Nettles pasted Bro,'than for the corresponding six Chick one in the face.Instead of |months of last year. “turning the other cheek”as the}“Nobody in North Carolina wants Scripture directs,Bro.Chick appeal-ed to the law and the case is to be air- ed in the courts. Exports from the United States last were greater py $20,000,000 than in April,1912,while imports were $15,000.000 less.For the 10monthsendingwithApriltheex- ports this year were $217,000.000 larg- er than in the corresponding period last year and imports were greaterby$179,000,000.Apri)exports to- talled $199,800,000 against $179,300,- 000 last year;imports $144,000,000against$162,000,000. At the meeting of the General Syn- od of the Lutheran Church at Atchi- son,Kans.,the Woman's Foreign’Mis- sionary Society,hitherto only an aux- iliary organization of the Synod,made application for administrative pow- ers commensurate with those of other church boards.In the heated discus- sion which followed leaders introduced passages from the New Testament to prove that.men “are divincle emmnint.ed leaders of the Church.”The quées- tion was submitted to a vote.and the missionary society’s petition lost. News that the California alien land ownership bill had been signed by Goy.Johnson was received in Japan with regret,although it had been dis- counted in official and non-official cir- cles.It was hoped up to the last moment,however,that Washington's intervention would prove successful. The newspapers published extra e:li- tions with the announcement that the bill had been signed.Efforts of the Japanese government are concentrat- ed at present on pacifying opinion, but the task is regarded in many quarters as difficult. Mrs.’Longstreet,lately deposed as postmaster at Gainesville,Ga.,car- ried her grievance to a Senate cnom- mittee.She did not ask for reinstate- ment but wanted to publicly deny that her administration had heen ineffi- cient,as charged.If Mrs.Longstreet had stayed on her job and attended strictly to business instead of trying to make herself conspicuous on ail occasions and eternally reminding thepublicthatsheisthewidowofadis- tinguished Confederate general,she would have been safe.It was a caseoftoomuchtalk. The Southern Baptist Convention, by an overwhelming vote,decided to don the Sunday ‘school lessonspreparedbytheinter-denominational committee,known as the internation- al series,and to substitute instead les- gzons prepared especially for BaptistSundayschools.While this action is mot binding on individual churches, yet the lessons that henceforth will be urged by the Sunday school board for use in the Baptist churches through- out the South will be those especiallywiththeviewofsettingprepared»forth Baptiss doctrine.

Correspendence ef The Landmark. The solution of many of our pres ent day problems,including the high cost of living,the present shortageofefficientfarmlabor,poor schools| and churches,and the lack of social activities in the rural districts,de pends upon finding some practical way of lessening the drift of the country boys to the towns and cities. This country was once noted for its consumption and production has grown so small that it has practically vanished with séme classes of ‘pro ducts.At one time two thirds of duction;‘now only one-third are en-| gaged in that occupation,and in this State the majority of these are ten-| ants who are so unskidied that they eannot -effectively.handle modern farm machinery.This not only means Idw production at a-high cost but so long as our lands are tilled by un-trained and.disinterested laborers, the State will sustain an annual loss of soil fertility which will require years of skill and energy to restore. Let’s consider for a moment some of the causes which brought about these conditions in this State.Is our land so unproductive that our boys cannot make a comfortable living on the farm?It is true that only a few years ago our average corn yield was jonly 14.8 bushels per acre and at present it is only 18.4,but by the practice of good methods of cultiva- tion and fertilization the boys in the corn clubs of this State made an average yield of 62.8 bushels last season.These are the kind of la-borers that we are permitting to leavethefarmannuallyand_substituting in their place the kind mentioned above.Perhaps we have not given them the proper amaunt of schooling or it may be that what they have received was not of the right character.The pre-vailing opinion of those who havestudiedagriculturalandrural|prob-lems is that*the character of the ruralschoolislargelyresponsibleforsomanyofthecountryboysleavingthe farm.Examine your boys and find out how much they have learned about the everyday farm operations.Havethemworkoutafertilizerformula and tell you how the plant uses thethreeprincipalelementsofplantfood.An arithmetic which teacheshowtocompoundinterestwithoutteaching.how to com:d a fertilizerformulaisapoorkforafarm rt to study.n a certain locality of Iowa theschoolauthoritiestook.a census todeterminetheeffectofinfroducingagriculinstructionintheruschools..result was that out of eality before the cultural training pay back yourmoney if it does not, W.F:Hall,Droaaist,Statesville,N.C, was placed inascone 157 left thefarmwhileonly7remained.After KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM.|the introduction of agricultural train-—inTeachingAgricultureintheRural|} County |per cent staying on the farm to only| iby which provision is made for the| idomestic science in each of our coun-| |ty State |place a course of instruction in reach| \Our high ltheir course of instruction this fall. lof.the greatest factors in checking |town. |W.Finley,he said: linstituted.the organization of these} ibe a most effective instrumentality| ‘by the demonstrator,and who suc- ‘ceeds in growing as much corn on a |made profitable. |Ware men of Statesville and Moores- the 164 boys that were in this lo-| Taking An Auto Apart is easy.Anybody can do that.bat putting the parts together again properly is a different proposition.So in the schools only 12 out of 174 the farm.A change of from 4.4) 68 per cent leaving.This is con-| elusive as to the results of giving} farm boys “farm education.”if your car gets out of order don’t Our last Legislator passed an act)tinker with it yourself.Send it here, where we have the knowledge andskillrequiredtomakeallrepairsand to restore your car to its best efficien- Carolina Motor Company,Statesville,N.C.Local "Phone 170,Long Distance 175 placing of a course of agriculture and | High Schools.This will} of every energetic farm boy and| should completely revolutionize the} agricultural industry of the county.| schools cannot afford to miss the opportunity of placing it in The boys’corn clubs has been one!

The Landmark doesn’t know it all and never expects to,therefore it has no objection to reference occasionally to sources supposed to be authority or at least worth considering.Real- izing its own limitations it trusts it may be pardoned for overlooking the fact that the Observer is so sure of itself.If The Landmark wanted to be disagreeable:it would say that, considering the things that appear in the Observer occasionally,one would be tempted to believe that paper either had not reached the kindergarten class or thinks its readers haven’t.

Diogenes Found an Honest Girl,Or How a Half France Made a Fortune. Christian Herald. A wealthy man who died in Brus- sels recently left much of his large fortune to a girl who was unacquaint- ed with him.He was very eccentric, and,like Diogenes,he set out to find an honest man,His tub was an om- nibus and his lantern a small coin. In the omnibus he took his seat neartheconductorandalwaysshowedhim- self very obliging,passing up the money of passengers and returning the change,but-to the latter he always managed to add a franc or half-franc. Then he would watch those to whom it came.They would count it care- fully,notice the extra coin and invar- iably slip it-into their pockets.But at last a young woman passed hers back,with “Conducter,you have given me half a franc too much,”The man followed her to her home,learned what he could about her,and made his will in her favor,though he never told hér that the half franc returnedwouldbringheramillion.

How to Meet.It—Religion and Edu-cation the Two Great Forces atWork—How Some of the Prob-lems Are Being Met—Schools toMakeBetterCitizens—-The PapersinPrizeContests.et Introduced by Supt.Thompson as a gentleman who has given much thought to the betterment of mankind and the study of life’s great problems, Rev.Thos.W.Lingle of Davidson Col-lege,the speaker at the graded school Monday night,was not long in con- vincing his hearers that the words ‘of introduction were well spoken.Hissubject,‘“Life’s Probrems and Prepar- ing to’Meet Them,”was discussed inamannerwhichshowedthespeakerhadgiven’it much thought and had arrived at conclusions worth while. Before entering into his subject Dr.Lingle first congratulated the town on its school and then congratulated the graduates on ..having thus far completed their mental development for life’s problems.A-few years ago,said the speaker, the world was startled on reading the terms of the will of John Stew- art Kennedy,a native of Scotland, who came to this country,accumulat- ed enormous wealth and became a leader in the Church,because the mil- lionaire,worth about $60,000,000,be- queathed half the amount to various institutions and works throughout the world.So numerous were his be-quests that it.seemed that he had spread his money everywhere and hadgiventoeverycause,but on close ex- amination it was found that he had given but to two causes—religion and education.These are the two great- est forces at work in the world and it is these that:make it worth while to live.The world may think well of a man who has religion and no educa- tion,and it may think well of the man who has education and no religion, but no one has confidence in the man that has neither education nor relig- ion.The community is better off without the man who has neither.We cannot overestimate these two forces which are making life better.Relig- ion centers in and radiates from the Church;education centers in and ra- diates from the school.The schoo! exists not for the financial berefit of the teachers and for the show that ean be made,but for the boys and girls,All our industrial plants and whatever else we have do not compare with the children,who are our great- est asset and upon whom hangs the hope of Church and State.Our pa- rents believed that they gave us bet- ter educational advantages than they had and we believe we are giving our children better opportunities than we had.The same will apply to the next generation;the golden age is in the future.It is the business of society to move forward and upward. There are a number of things in this age that are problems.\We are members of a highly organized socie- Commercial National Bank OF STATESVILLE,N.C.

The race problem has troubled throughout the ages and is now giv- ing trouble in California.There are also questions of religion,the regula- {ion of intoxicants,drugs,etc.,andtheproblemofwar.The problem of war is not passed,except possibly be- tween the civilized —nations,which cannot afford to have any more wars. The nations cannot finance them and commerce will not stand for them.About 70 per cent of our money is being spent on wars past and pres- ent and for preparation for war.Our conception of government is what it does for us in the way of mail facil- ities,development of farming inter- ests,and various resources,etc.,and we need more than 30 per cent fur these. Our boys and girls being educat- ed today ntust be prepared to meet these problems.The girls will have something to do along with the boys, They are already doing things through their civic leagues,etc.In six States the women are now voting and everybody in this audience knows |that they will soon be voting in North Carolina.Without saying that I fa- vor woman suffrage,I do say that I do not fear it.Turning to Church matters,in my Church,the Presbyte- rian,the women have equal suffrage with the men and as they are usually in the majority at voting time they are now calling every pastor,elect- ing every church officer,ete.And if the women don’t destroy the Church they won’t destroy the State.These young ladies will play a high hand in solving these problems and willlikelyusetheballot. What preparation should be made for solving these problems?We saytheschoolisforthis.Some say that education is too expensive and others say they are giving their boys andgirlsaneducationsothattheycan make money without working so hard, never taking into account mental work.Education is,in the words ofDr.McIver,the most expensive thing,except ignorance.As a money-maker it is a good thing.Statistics show thatthemenwithcommonschooleduca-tion make more money than thosewithoutanyeducation;that the menwithahighschooleducationmakemorethanthese,and those with thecollegeeducationmakestillmorethanthehighschoofgraduates.Butisitmakingmoremoneythatschoolsarefor?Not one bit of it.Schoolsareestablishedtomake.-better citi-zens,for the betterment of the State.It is to train +good citizenship withcharacterandpower.Here the speaker discussed John Milton’s def-inition of education which called forthetrainingofmanforbothwarandpeacebutexcludedthewomanal-together.He ruled out about halfthedefinition,including the traininforwar,and then quoted a number great educators who had a broaderconceptionofeducation,‘iWebelievealsointheeducation of the women,continued the speaker, and whatever it.is that will develop the boy or girl is the best form of in- struction,@ hear much these days about vocational training.The writ- ers vary on this subject.Some say to cut out grammar and like studies and put in.their places farming,book- keeping,etc;some would have alt the old studies knocked out and re- placed with vocational studies.All of us will agree.on the value of vo- are substitutes for the old subjects isabsurdity.When a subject has stood the test for a thousand years you may know it has some meat on it.The thing which will mean most to a student is the one he will work at the hardest and this*is why some of the old subjects are the best for study.The high school is the great fortressofmaterialismandidealism‘andthehigh.ideal is the thing you want to get in a boy,and then risk his get-ting the practical application.Theoldbranchesof.study develop the mind and if we can’t teach anythingelse,teach some of these subjects that require accuracy;that require the student to hew to the line.Character, knowledge,common sense and mental training are essentials to success,and do not underestimate the mental training.I congratulate you on hav- ing so many advantages here for de-veloping these essentials. The report of the judges who award- ed the D,A.R.medal to Miss.John- sie Deal stated that the essays of Ella Randlett,Bessie Simon,Birdie Seales and George Ives were all close seconds,and the committee which judged the papers on publicity adver- tising made favorable comment on. the papers of Annice Alexander,Bride Alexander,Rose Mills and John Steele,in addition to that of Miss 3eatrice.Graves,who won the prize.

Buck Creek Fishing Lodge a Fine Place For the Sporteman—Trout in the Streams,Game in the Woods Also Frogs and Snakes. *I spent the past weekwith a States- ville party up on Buck creek,in Mc- Dowell county..In the party were Mr. and Mrs.J.H.Gray,host and hostess, Master John Henry Gray,Mr.and Mrs.L..E.Tharpe end little daugh- ter,Helen Tharpe,Miss Mary Arm- field,Messrs.Isidore Wallace and O.

Mr.Geo.B.Craven,for a time connected with the Spencer Crescent, now editor of the Gazette at South Boston,Va.,was married in Danville. Va.,Monday to Miss Pearl Esther Wills of that city. Fred Dayvault,16-year-old son of Mr.and Mrs.J.F.Dayvault of Con- cord,was drowned Tuesday afternoon in a river near Bell Buckle,Tenn.He was in a camp at Walling,Tenn.,at- tending a summer school. Wake Forest College commence- ment is in progress this week.The graduating class numbers 75.Dr. Hugh Black of New York city preach- ed the baccalaureate sermon and de- livered the annual address.

State Horticulturist W.N.Hutt fig- ures the fruit crop this way:Apples 40 per cent of a full crop,peaches 30 per cent,pears 15 per cent,grapes 68 per cent.Much fruit fell from the trees this month and the cool weather materially lessened the crop. Gov.Craig has pardoned E.E.Pur- vis of Tarboro,convicted of embez-. ziement.The story is that Purvis ap- propriated $1,500 to send his sick wife to a hospital and made restitution when prosecuted.The judge,solici- tor and jury all signed the petition for pardon.The Asheville Citizen says five mules and four horses perished in a fire which destroyed the mule stables of the Biltmore estate at an early hour Wednesday morning.Bight ani- mals were saved,together with the wagons,buggies and other vehicles which were stored in the barn. It seems there wag a misunder-standing about the terms of settle- ment of the recent strike cf street ¢ar men in Asheville and a commit- tee of citizens which conducted the negotiations to settle the strike havethematterinhandforadjustment. Meantime the men continue'to work. Cleve Daniels,a negro,was con- victed of murder in Durham last week and sentenced to be electrocuted July 14,His attorney says he will carry the case to the highest court and-be- lieves he can obtain a commutation. So few white men incur the death penalty it is natural to resist it for a negro. His friends will be interested to know that Major J.H.Watlington,of the county of Caswell,sab,has shak- en the dust of North Carolina from his feet and now has his habitat in Alabama.The major is a peripatet- ic gentleman and in his peririna- tions about the State made himself known to a good many people. The Raleigh News and Observer, which was issued from the office of the Raleigh Times for 23 days after the fire which destroyed the News and Observer's office,,has been issued club has thirty to fifty members and they maintain comfortable quarters that will quarter 20 to 30 people at a time.It is ten miles out from Ma- rion,away from ’phone line and mail route.Garden City,five miles’dis- tant,is the nearest point from which to communicate with the outside world.But after you are once there and have the swing of things you are really glad that you are out of reach of these modern conveniences.When the time finally comes that you feel like you must come home you wish there were no road or that there were some excuse to let you stay on forev- er. The sportsman thinks of Buck creek and goes there with trout-fish- ing uppermost in his mind.Some love the sport of catching them and others get joy from the vision of going home tired at night and eating them. Neither is a depraved taste and both are satisfied.Were this the only source of amusement the trip would not be a disappointment,.but one might tire of it after awhile.Butthereismoretothetrip.A great variety of pastime is to be had,One who is too lazy to do anything except dream could sit on the porch of the club house and amuse himself for days looking at ana _studying»the scenery,In front of the door runs a gurgling stream of clear water,its banks set with little springs of cold water,oozing from’the mountains. This stream lulls one to sleep at bed-time and keeps him “asleep.Then there are the song birds to listen to. The chipmunks scamper on _the ground about the grove and the gray squirrels gambol~overhead on the trees.A few hundred yards from the club house we watched as many as six or seven playing in the trees and two mornings in succession with rifle and pistol wé killed one within less than 200 yards of the elub. Another fine sport ~is shooting frogs.Less than a mile from the club is a mill-pond and around the edges of this sit many big fine ones. It is the great rendezvous for them. With skill,a keen eye and good aim the marksman can pick them off from bank to bank with pistol or rifle. Their hind-legs make a rare good dish.But all frogs are not procured by shooting.On the bank near the pond lives a little strip of a boy nam- ed Raymond.If he lays eyes on a frog the latter had as well commit suicide.He is Raymond’s meat.The frog may go through mud to the bottom of the pond or he may take refuge under the bank.It matters not where he goes Raymond will ar- rive at him just a few minutes later. Catching frogs for visitors to the club is bread and meat to.Raymond and he attends to all orders promptly. On a few minutes’notice he will sup- ply a sack full.Money is scarce as hen-teeth in Raymond’s home and he tries to earn every nickel that comes his way.

J.W.Goodnight was gtven the op- .portunity.of paying a fine of $100 and giving bond in the sum of $190 to show good behaviour.He was una- ble to pay the fine and having been twice previously convicted of the same offence,he was sentenced to jail for 90 days.If the county phy-sician decides the defendant is able to work he will go to the roads;_if not able to work he will spend thetimeinjail.~ ©.C-Parks,who plead guilty of re- tailing,was fined $100 and costs and required-to give bond in the sumof$100 to appear a year hence a the In other cases judgment was ‘suspended on payment of costs.Sim- ilar action was taken in the case of Parks Williams.The court entered the judgment in the case of Parks on the ground that he had never before been arraigned for violating the law, had surrendered,confessed and prom- ised not to do so again.Practically the same reasons were assigned for the judgment in the case of Williams. B.P.Young,who plead guilty of retailing,was also fined $100 and costs and required to give bond in the sum of $100 to appear in court a year hence and show he had not violated the law.This was Mr.Young’s first offence and under the evidence it did not appear that he was engaged in the business. In the case of Arthur Mayberry, Lester Holcomb and Robt.Grose,for an affray,Grose was discharged,Hol- comb paid half the costs,Mayberry $1 and half the cost. Bam Morrison,who was found guil- ty of an affray,was fined $5 and half the cost.The fines of $25 each imposed on Ceph and Bob Sloop,witnesses who failed to answer when called in the case of Jake Shuford,were remitted.

Senator Overman Would Throw OpentheDoorsForDemocratsintheInternal‘Revenue Service andFourthClassPostoffices. Senator Overman has introduced aresolutionintheSenatewhichpro- vides “that any officer or employe ofthegovernmentoftheUnitedStateswhomayberequiredbylaworregu- lations to execute a bond to his super-jor officer or any other officer of thegovernmenttosecureafaithfulper- formance of official duty,may be ap-pointed by the officer who may requiresuchbondwithoutregardtothepro-vision of an act entitled ‘An act to regulate and improve the civil serviceoftheUnitedStates,approved Janu- ary 16,1883,’any amendment theretoorany.rule or regulation made in pursuance thereof,and the officer re-quiring said bond shat!have power torevoketheappointmentofanysuchsubordinateofficeroremployeandap-point his successor at his discretion without regard to the act,amend- ments,rules or pegulations afore- said.”This resolution is intended pri-marily to affect the deputy collectors of internal revenue.There are 22 deputy collectors in the western and 30 in the eastern collection district. Their salaries range from $1,200 to$1,400 per year.The resolution would place these men absolutely under con-trol of the collectors.It was recent-ly stated that the Treasury Depart- ment held that deputy collectors would go out of office with the collec- tors but that their places would be filled under civil service rules.Sena- tor Overman evidently wants to besureaboutit. In addition to the above Senator Overman was expected to introduce yesterday a resolution suspending for four years the order of President Taft placing fourth class postmasters under the civil service.It was recent- ly decided that fourth class postmas- ters now in office must take the exami- nation,thus putting them on the same basis as outsiders,but the Overman idea is to take the offices out of the civil service so that they may be filled by Democrats.

President Changes Personnel ‘of Civil Service Commission. inca Dispatch to Baltimore un. President Wilson’s action Thursday in.practically making a clean sweep of the United States Civil Service Commission through accepting the resignations of Gen.John C.Black of Illinois,president of the commission, and William Washburn of New York, the Republican commissioner,—will bring joy to many Democrats in Con- gress.John A.Mellthenny of Louisiana, the other commissioner,will be re- tained,and was so informed by the President during a call at the WhiteHouse.He was appointed as a Dem- ocrat but supported Colonel Roose- velt for the presidency last year. In deciding to cnange the person- nel of the Civil Service Commission- ers President Wilson is said to have been actuated by the conviction that the commission had permitted itself to be bound down to such strict ad- herence to technicalities that it was working against the best interests of the government service.Charles M. Galloway of South Carolina will be appointed to succeed General Black, and George R.Wales of Vermont will succeed Mr.Washburn.Mr.Gallo- way is clerk to the Senate committee on immigration and secretary to Sen- ator Smith,of South Carolina.He had been a telegraph operator and was news editor of the Columbia State when appointed secretary to Senator Smith.He is a Democrat. Mr.Wales,who has been for years chief examiner of the commission,is a Republican,but has taken no part in politics since he became connected with the commission. Thirty-Five Persons Killed By Collapse of a Pier. Too weak to uphold the burden of nearly 10,000 human beings assembled for the festivities of “British Empire Day,”the land end of the big.double- decked municipal pier in front of the eity auditorium at Long Beach,Cal., collapsed Saturday.Hundreds of per-sons on the top deck were plunged down on the heads of other hundreds crowded on the second deck.The lower deck then gave way—and all were dropped down a chute of shat-tered woodwork to the tide-washed the .|Sarids,25 feet below.Tirty-five persons,mostly women, were killed by the shivered timbers or crushed to th by the falling bod- ies of companions and friends,Fifty more were seriously injured,while hysteria and fright caused the dis- abling of scores of others.A section of the auditorium,which went down in the crash,and the debris from it, was added to the wreck that fell on top of the injured and dead.Most of the victims were subjects or former subjects of Great Britain,residents in southern California. Thirty-three were killed in the col- lapse,two died later from injuries and others are expected to die. Lincolnton Editor Killed.

Why Appointmetns Are Not Made More Rapidly. Congressman Godwin of the sixth district of this State explains the ap- parent delay of President Wilson in appointing Democrats to office.He says the President,on account of the congested condition of the public busi- ness,decided to make but 150 nomi- nations a week,these to be taken from the country at large.Nominations are not made by districts,but by States and all States are treated ex- actly alike.Up to this time only three or four nominations have been made in a district.The operation of this rule is rather slow but all will bereachedbyandby.

The report says the jury passed on 72 presentments,finding 62 true bills, ten not true bills and ten cases con- tinued for lack of witnesses.The jail was found in good condition,pris- oners well fed and cared for.The of- fices in the court house are reported in good condition “and the furniture and records apparently well taken care of.”The brick floor in the base- ment is in bad condition and it is recommended that it be replaced by concrete;three doors on the first floor of the court house are broken and the floor of the hall at the front and rear doors needs repair,and it is recom- mended that the doors and floor be re- ired.The county home was found in as “good condition as could be ex- ted,as the buildings are very old.” he inmates report that they are well fed and cared for.There are 17 white and 12 colored pedple in the home.The site for the new county home was visited,where work has begun.Fifteen convrets were found on the chain gang,four whites and eleven negroes.The convicts say they are well fed and cared for and every- thing was found in good condition.

An order has been issued that no woman will be allowed to ride astride a horse in any of the parades at the Confederate veterans’reunion at Chattanooga this week.In the old days—and the reunion is to celebrate the old days—most women rode horse- back but none rode astride.Hence the objection to new methods at the re- union. In Lee county,S.C.,a few days ago M.L.Garrett shot and killed Aaron Campbell,who had married Garrett’s daughter 48 hours before, and then killed Campbell’s father, John A.Campbell.Garrett took ref- uge in a swamp and for near 24 hours held at bay the sheriff and a large posse,but finally surrendered and was taken to.jail.

Newspapers all over the State have commented on the size of Iredell’s delinquent list.Somebody counted the names and found there were 1,400 when the list first appeared.The average number of delinquents in For- syth county,says the Winston Repub- lican,is about 250.The Lumberton Robeson calls attention to the fact that Robeson county’s delinquent list contains but 289 names and Robeson is a much larger county than Iredellwithamuchlargercoloredpopulation. It may be that some of these countiesthatboastofasmalllistofdelin-| quents have a sheriff who does not} advertise all delinquents.Possibly |the influential delinquents escape publicity.Iredell's list is apparently much larger than it really is because *t contains delinquents for two years| —-1911 and 1912—and these are ad-| vertised separately.That is,the man} who owes taxes for 1911 appears in ote list and the same man appearsin | another list for 1912.Thus the ma-| jority of the delinghents appear twice and this makes the list appear nearly double what,it is.But with ail the explanation,there are too many de- linquents.We should have a better system of collecting taxes,Leniency for one cause and‘another seems to have encouraged delinquency on the part of Iredell taxpayers.All delin- quents should be advertised promptly each year.There should be no carry- ing over;and the sales should be bona fide,so that a taxpayer will know that if he doesn’t pay promptly he will not only be advertised but will have to pay costs or lose his property. It’s all weil enough to talk about not being “too hard”on the taxrayers, but taxes have to be collected and the taxpayers should be taught that promptness is not onl¥right but nec- essary.When an obligation has to be met it can Le met with more ease if it is attended to at once.A looseness and a laxness that gives the idea that “any old time”will do is notonlywrongandbadforthedelinquentbutunfairtothosewhomeettheir obligations promptly,unfair to the sheriff and unfair to the county.TheIredellsalarylaw,which becomes ef-fective next year,provides that tax- payers who do not pay by Decemberletofthenext-year after taxes aredueshallbeliabletoapenaltyof10 per cent.It is hoped this will helpsome.In any event a reformation isneededinIredell.The county has made a reputation throughout theStateasaprogressiveandup-to-date county on account of its public im-oo.and this delinquent tax=has greatly injured that reputa- ion.

The Court of Appeals at Kansas City,Mo.,has decided that a wife is not bound to follow her husband wher- ever he goes.The ruling was in the case of James Collet,who sued his wife,Mary,for divorce because she declined to go with him to a farm.

One From Marion Joined Another atStatesville,.They .Journeyed To-gether and Were Overhauled at Con- cord. Concord Tribune,22d. The two little 11-year-old boys whowanderedintoConcordTuesdaynightandrepresentedthemselvestothepoliceasbrothersfromMarion,whowerelostinaneffortto_find their aunt,at Newells,are not brothers atall.“In fact they are no relation whatever,according to Charlie Haw-kins of.Marion,father of one of theboys,who came here last night for his son, The two boys gave their names as Vie and Olin Hawkins and said theywerebrothers..But when CharlieHawkins,father of Olin,arrived lastnighthefailedtorecognizeVic.AtthisturnofeventsVicbecametheob- ject of a volley of questions fromtheofficerandhefinallyunbosomedhimselfastohisidentity,his travelsandexperienceswithyoungHawkins. The elder Hawkins,so it has devel- oped,left Marion about a week ago for Richmond,leaving his young sonathome.During the parent’s ab-sence the youth answered to the call of the wild or the dusty highway,whichever is preferable,and he stalk- ed out of the little mountain city, journeying to Statesville.There he met Vic,who is none other than Vic- tor Gray,formerly of Huntersville but lately of Statesville,Charlotte, Newells,Concord,anc the highways between and around these variouspoints.Similar desires lay in the juvenile breasts of Vic and Olin and a friendship welded by the ties of theiradventuresomenaturessprangupbe- tween them and they decided to join lots and go forth together to seek fame,fortune and ice cream cones. After a short sojourn in the metrop-olis of Tredell they journeyed forth to Charlotte,thence to Newells and on to the best town of their itinerary —Concord.Here Chief Boger took an interest in their case and the result is that Olin is back in Marion and Vic's people at Huntersville have heen coremunicated with and he,too,will be taken to his home. (Later information added weight to Vie’s claims to the title of champion romancer.He proved to be a runa- way from the Thompson orphanage at Charlotte and didn’t live at Hun-tersville at all.) Preparing to Build the Confederate Woman's Home. At the meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Confederate Women’s Home in Raleigh last week,Col.Ash- ley Horne of Johnston county was elected chairman of the board and Capt.J.A.Turner of Louisburg was elected secretary.The last Legisla- ture passed an act creating the Home, and appropriated $10,000 for building and $5,000 a year for maintenance. The act also provided that the Home should be established in that city or town which offered the best induce- ments.The board decided to receive bids from the various towns desiring the Home and these must be made in writing and forwarded to the presi dent of the board before July 1.Some time after this date the president will call a meeting of the board to decide on the location of the home. Already several towns have made application for the Home.One of these offered $3,000 and the choice of a site,and a third offered a nine-room house and 12 acres.The names of the | bidders were withheld.

Protest About a Road Out Cool Spring Way. To the Editor of The Landmark: Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to speak a few words to the home.folks at Cool Spring about the proposed road,leading from the River Hill road across our land and others to the Statesville and Mocksville road?It would damage our best fields so much that we cannot submit to it.We had our land posted about a year ago but a few trespass- er®have been winding about through the pines and sometimes across the field.They will go through one time |vate road always does, |should be opened across our fields it too many some day.Part of the peo-two sites,another offered $2,500 and {Ble do go to mill by way of Cool|Spring and they can all go that way. The old track down the creek got im-passable for want of upkeep,as a pri- would not pass any man’s home nor make a road for any man that is not already on a public road.The fields are very level and will get very mud- dy in the winter;then they would cut out in our wheat when we get it sowed.The clay would wash down on }our meadow and damage it and some timber would be cut down.Therefore we ask our friends and neighbors not to sign any petition for such a road. The law makes the signers on the petition liable for damages.That is right and it ought to be that way in }some other cases. O05ancethe fact that the Sau bury and Wilkesboro.road crosses the Statesville and Mocksville road at Cool Spring,and Canter’s mill is lo- cated right on this public road about a half mile from Cool Spring,it isevidentlyunnecessarytoopenapri- vate road and have the mill for anexcuse.I do not think the commis- sioners will grant such a road unless things are misrepresented to them. That is often done by sending peti-tions with names of lots of people who are not interested.It seems to be easy to get people to sign a petition |for almost anything now.If every- body would obey the “Golden Rule”and “do unto others as you would havethemdotoyou,”oh!what a happyworldthiswouldbe.

The Charlotte Observer says it has “brought the unexpected confession from The Landmark that it does not know.all’about the tariff and never expects to,”and further: The Observer has never peeiene to anything approximating a pertec knowledge of the tariff.ft had con- ceded to Judge Clark the distinction of being the American fountain-head of tariff knowledge,and it is a little bit taken aback by his modest dis- claimer.We can feel,however,that we are somewhat nearer his level.In view of the delinquency of each,we would be willing to organize a tariff kindergarten class and take the judge in cahoots,on the expressed condi- tion,nevertheless,that James be barred. The Landmark has never professed to be an authority on the tariff,and begging the Observer’s pardon,that paper has not so thought.«It holds that The Landmark and all others who stand for a revenue tariff,the doctrine enunciated and defended by the Democratic party ever since this writer knew what tariff meant and long ‘before,are impractical theorists and dreamers.Moreover the Observ- er has reversed itself.In reply to The Landmark’s suggestion that Sen- ator James’definition of a “legitimate industry”within the meaning of the Democratic platform,be considered, the Observer tartly answered:“The Observer is not in the kindergarten class and is old enough to think for itself.’The Landmark is perfectly willing to enter a kindergarten class on the tariff or any other subject.It is ready to receive information for consideration from any worthy source; but the Observer must pardon The Landmark if kindergarten class with the Observer as teacher and the curriculum pre- scribed.Moreover it may interest the Observer to know that Senator James it declines to enter a is by no means the only man who holds that that industry legitimate industry which cannot exist without government aid;which de- not ais -If Senator Overman keeps.within reasonable bounds on the civil service matter—endeavors to correct the ap- parent abuses in the system—he may succeed in doing the countrya service. But if he tries to destroy the system simply because evils exist,or to set it aside even temporarily,he may fail.The country is well disposed to the merit system and 1s.not likely to surrender it even when its abuse is admitted.reece While repairs are being made in the county court room in Asheville appli- cation has been made to the Federal government for permission to hold the sessions of the Superior Court in the Federel building.Leading attorneys, however,says the Asheville Citizen, declare that a decision of a State court rendered in a Federal .court room would be void because the Fed- eral building,being government prop- erty,is outside the jurisdiction of the State courts.That is an interesting question to be sure.When Iredell’s new court house was being built, about 14 vears ago,several terms of the Superior Court were held in the Federal court room in Statesville and nobody ever thought of raising a legal question abgut it. ~STATE NEWS. Callie Francis,a young white boy of Raleigh,is in jail at Rocky Mount for burglarizing the home of Lieut.

While looking from behind the wall surrounding the target pit at the close of the Third regiment shoot in Ral- eigh,Lewis White,a Raleigh boy,was shot through the nead by a stray bullet and instantly killed.The boy wag employed to turn the target and he was killed by a stray shot. Two Wayne county citizens,|ee Pennington and Chas.Giddings,were taking a coffin to the home of a neighbor,where a death had oce ired, when the mule.they were driving ran away and both were thrown out.The wagon wheel passed over Pennin«ton, fracturing the base of his skuli and breaking his collar bone.He is not expected to recover.Giddings was not badly hurt. In Charlotte Sunday,following a dispute which it is claimed was brought on by a demand for cigarettes to be sold on Sunday,Mr.W.B. Stevens,commissary clerk of the Nor- folk Southern railroad,shot and per- haps fatally wounded Mr.G.S,Smith, the latter of Virginia,who has been for some time past chief of the con- struction crew building the railroad extension into Charlotte.The shoot- Francis mands that the government levy an in- direct tax for its support.Several million of people in this courftry hold the same view.

Mrs.Lois Long Hackett,who for two years has been a pupil of the vocal department of the Master School of Music,Brooklyn,N.Y.,took part in a concert recently given,by pupils of the school.The Brooklyn Eagle,in an account of the concert,says the hall was crowded with music Jovers and that the programme was.an ex- cellent:one,Of Mrs.Hackett the Eagle.says:. “Mrs.Lois Long Hackett sang in finished and artistic manner a group of four songs..Her ‘Consello a’Nina,’ by Weckerlin,was superb;‘My Lad- die,’by Thayer,was dainty and beau- tiful and won prolonged applause.” Another Brooklyn paper,says of the concert:..“The ‘Prayer,’from ‘Haensel and Gretel,’‘by.Humperdinck,sung by Mrs.Hackett and Miss Goldsberry, had specia!.interesting features,by reason of the music which is melodic and simple,for a modern composi- tion.The two trios from the ‘Mag- ic Flute,’by Mozart,were well sung by Mrs.Hackett,Miss Goldsberry and Miss Newland. “Mrs.Lois.Long Hackett .had a group of songs to sing,as did Miss Edna Goldsberry,and the interpre- tation of them was excellent;the first group included ‘Fleures Nasis- antes,’by Gretry;‘Pendant.le Bal,’by Tschaikowsky;‘My Laddie,’ by Thayer,and ‘Conseils a Nina,’by Weckerlin,the three songs given by Mrs.Hackett.In fact the whole pro- jgramme was a musical treat the like of which is not often heard at pupil concerts,and the audience was most receptive and appreciative.” A private letter from a member of the faculty of the school says Mrs. Hackett was “by far the most artis- tic singer on the programme”and that she won the audience in her first song;that she looked and sang beautifully;that her improvement during the past winter has been very marked and that she is a “constant delight to all the directors and teach- ers.” Mrs.Hackett’s home folks will be pleased to learn of her success and those who know her will not be sur- prised,as her musicar gifts have long been recognized here.

He had a strong love,too,for domestic ani- mals,Those of us who can think back into his life of a few years can recall the marked devotion of a big Seotch collie and a merrylittleladwithcurlyhair.When “Rowdy”died Billy’suffered the loss of a real com- panion and friend.»To these valued assets of character already mentioned,there was joinedabrightmind,always alert with interest in everything.This is shown by the fact that he was for several years before his death a close reader of the Literary Digest.Life promised mueh for him,but his friends and joved ones are comforted in the thought of his abundant joy among the children who praise the King.In thinking of Billy,it is easy to adopt the lines of James Whitcomb Riley: “T cannot say and I will not say‘That he is dead,He is just away! With a cheery smile,and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be,since he lingers there.” ‘W.M. rated from all who knew and loved him,with | heme | >sloners forsaiddistrict will be >flee,on abowe date, the cause.: A fall and complete statement of receipts| and disbursements by the commissé | want the privilege of riding wherever | | }| | } FOR SALE—HouseholdSalewilltakeplace Saturday,May 31,at my,residence on Western avenue.dD.RB.

Washington Dispatch. Commissioner Claxton,of the Na-tional Bureau of Bducation,says thatMrs.Cora Wilson Stewart,superin- tendent of education in Rowan county, Ky.,has found a way to do away with the deadly teuds of the Southernmountainsandwipeoutilliteracyinhercountywithinthepresentyear.In “moonlight schools”Mrs.Stew-art has taught more than 1,000 illit-erate adults to read and write insideoftwoyears.Every school in the county conducts a “moonlight session”every moonlit niyht of the year,barr-ing Sundays.Twelve hundred per-sons attended the schools the firstnighttheyopened.The oldest’pupilinAmerica,a woman of 86,.wasamongthefirstnightpupils.One “moonlight class,”numbering 12,was composed of persons all past 50.Four entire families were in school— the children\during the day and the parents in the evening.: “The results of Mrs.Stewart’s ex- periment are marvelous,”said Mr. Claxton.“Having studied carefully the conditions of the county,she de- cided to open night schools for adultsonmoonlightnightsinthepublic school houses of the county.She out- lined her plans to her teachers and called for volunteers.Every teacher in the county responded. On Labor Day of 1911 these,teach-ers visited the homes of the people, explained their plan and announced that schools would be opened the next evening,September 4.More than 1,- 200 men and women from 18 to 86 years old were enrolled the first night. They came trooping over the hills and out of the coves,some to add to their meagre learning and others’to take their first lessons in reading and writ- ing.Among the pupils were illiterate farmers,merchants,lumbermen and ministers and their wives and daugh- ters.Mothers bent with age came that they might learn to read the let- ters from their sons and daughters who were away from home. “By the fall of 1912 the movement inaugurated by Mrs.Stewart spread to eight or ten other counties,while the enrollment of adults in Rowan in- creased to 1,600.One man,aged 30 years,after four lessons in the eve- ning school,wrote the superintendent a legible letter.Another man,aged 50,wrote after seven nights’attend- ance.A woman of 70 wrote a letter after eight nights’work. “In some of the districts the enroll- ment of adults exceeded the enroll- ment of children.In two districts the enrollment ran as high as 70 and in several to 75.In one night school of 65 enrolled 23 were illiterates and there were three preachers in the class.There were one woman of 85 and a man of 87.“Of the 1,600 adult pupils ‘in”the Rowan schools during the second term,300 were unable to read and write at all,300 were from those who had learned in September,1911,and 1,000 were men and women of meagre education.” Rowan county -has 45 “moonlight schools,”and in some instances four generations attend simultaneously. Grandparents study at the same desks at night that their grandchildren use during the day. In a statement to the Bureau of Ed- ucation Mrs.Stewart said: “The mountain child,so long isolat- ed and retarded,so long enslaved by poverty and ignorance,so long impris- oned between high hills and bridgeless streams,has missed much in.the march of civilization.but has preserv- ed the purity of the Anglo-Saxon blood and has gathered strength to fit him.for a development more rapid than the world has,ever seen.His intellect has never been weakened bywines,alcohol or dissipating narcot- ices;his perception has never been dulled by the glare and rush of the money-mad world and his blood has never been.infused with the sluggish,impure blood of alien races.” Mr.Claxton has started a campaign which he hopes will result in teaching the 600,000 or more adult illiterates in this country to read and write,if not more.“To wait for a generation of illiterate men,women and childrentodieisaslowandpainfulprocess,” said he.“That there is a shorter way to the reduction and elimination of illiteracy has been proved by some European states and sporadic efforts in this country indicate that there is abetterwayhere,to-wit:To teach these grown-ups in schools organized especially for them,to read and write and possibly something more.”Mrs.Stewart’s work in Kentucky is characterized by Mr.Claxton as “one of the most notable recent at-tempts to educate tHe grown-ups,” The Bureau of Education is preparingtoissueabulletinon“Illiteracy in the United States and an Experiment foritsElimination.” Thinks Church 7 Money is Taint- The Rev.Albert Albertson preferstogototheendsoftheearthasamissionarytolivingprecariouslyon the possible $500 salary scraped to-gether by his charges in New Jersey.He says that when the churches havetohavefairsandsociablesinordertoraisethemoneyitistaintedandhe has refused to accept $80 thus ac- cumulated.The money was dividedamongseveraldeacons,who gave ittohimasofferings.He has resigned and will do religious writing for a while and later go out as a mission-ary.

The case in equity is one concern-ing the Charlotte’Observer and hasforitsfoundationanaflegedpartner-ship contract entered into by and.be-tween Ambrose E.Gonzales,J.C.Hemphill,D.A.Tompkins and W.H.Wood in the fall of 1911.The com- plaint was filed June 14,1912.The standing master found that the com-plainants are,entitled to a decreeagainstthe.defendants,restrainingandenjoiningthemfrominanywisepartingwiththepossessionorcontrolofanyoftheassetsbelongingtothe partnership,to-wit,689 shares of thecapitalstocksoldbythedefendantTompkinstothesaidpartnershipand the 300 shares of capital stock pur- chased by D.A.Thompkins,W.H.

Following this there were alleged disagreements in the company, Mr.Hemphill resigned in June,1912, while,according to the report of the standing master,a feeling of jeal- ousy against Gonzales by Tompkins arose from fear the Observer would be made an adjunct of the Columbia State.A note signed by Mr.(Gon- zales,which was in the Charlotte bank,was due June 15,1912,and it was claimed when this would not be renewed the contract was violated. Another Suggestion as to Union of Presbyterian Bodies. At the closing hour of the Southern Presbyterian Assembly in Atlanta last week there was launched a plan de- signed to unite all branches of the Presbyterian Church by organization of a deliberative body to be known as the “Greater Presbyterian Con- gress.”It is planned.to model thisbodyaftertheCongress-of the Unit- ed States,with Senate and House ofRepresentatives,supreme in authori-ty over-the affairs of Presbyterianism. This project Was stbmitted with the report of the committee on closer relations.with other.ecclesiastical bodies,of which Dr.R.F.Campbell, of Asheville,N,C.,is chairman.Ac- tom was accerred until REAL Femi,Dee Assembly ‘having adopted a similar course with reference to the proposed union with the United PresbyterianChurch.

Physicians said that the struggle of| the financier was the most remarka-| ble of its kind on record. no instance of a man living so long! with mercury poison benumbing the tissues of his body.The doctors have held from theefirst that had they beensummonedbeforethepoisonhadtime to take hold they could have saved the banker's life.An hour after he took the dose would have been soon enough, they say.Such widespread scientific interest was manifested in the case that,Inhne Hopkins medical agthori- ties had been consulted daily by Wire. A.remarkable featore of the case,to i the layman at feast,is that the pa-| tient experienced but very little acute pain after he was poisoned.The effect of the drug was gradually to harden the walls of the arterres and cause a feeling of numbness.This compara- tive freedom from pain was evidently what led Walker to think that he would recover in spite of the edict of his physicians. Mrs.Walker is prostrated and it is reported that she feels a measure of responsibility for her husband’s death. The bottle containing the bichloride of mercury tablets was accidentallybrokenandMrs.Walker put the tab- lets in a box that had contained asperin and which still bore the label “asperin.”Her husband,hunting for the headache powder,found the box and took one of the tablets,not know- ing that he had taken poison for four hours afterward,which was too late for the doctors to save his life. It is estimated that the dead banker left an estate worth more than $1,000,- 000.Fortune had been kind to him allhislifeandheprosperedinanythingheundertook.<cscansemeenememmemantsimeaianin ;Strawberry Crop Finds a Dull Market.

During a heavy rain storm late Tuesday afternoon the barn of Mr. W.B.Gant,at his home near Eufola, was struck by lightning and totally destroyed by fire.A horse and a mule lost their lives and a colored man who was in the barn at the time was stunned by the lightning but ral- lied from the shock in time to get out of the barn before the flames reach- -ed him.The.property loss is in the neighborhood of $800,a lot of feed, vehicles,etc.,being burned in addi- tion to the live stock.“Mr.Gant had $282 jnsurance in the Farmers’Mu- tual Fire Insurance Co. Mrs.Gant was at home alone when the lightning struck the barn.While she realized that the bolt had struck nearby she did not notice the fire un- til it had gained considerable head- way.Rushing to the barn she open- ed a stable door and found the mule lying on the ground either stunned or dead.Going to the stable usually oc- cupied by the horse,she threw the door open,but the smoke was 80 dense that she_coule not see whether the horse was in the stable.After the fire subsided it was found that the horse had jumped out of the stable into the driveway through the barn, where he was burned to death. When the colored farm hand who was in the barn recovered from the shock he was’so badly frightened that he rushed from the barn and did not stop running until he had gone some distance from the burning structure. His thoughts were naturally for his own safety and not for the live stock in the barn. Interest .of Missionary Movement— Concord Presbyierial to Meet— Church News.

Washington Dispatch,28th,to Greens- boro News. Declaring that he came to Washing- ton on legal business and that he knew nothing new in connection with the Watts candidacy for the collector- ship of the western North Carolina district,E.J.Justice of Greensboro tonight predicted that should the President decide to appoint Watts to the place for which he is a candidate it would mean the defeat of the le- galized primary at the special ses- sion of the Legislature. Mr.Justice’s statement in full is as follows:“I know nothing new abouttheWattsappointment.I am of the opinion the appointment of Mr.Watts would mean that the legalized pri- mary in North Carolina could not be accomplished at the extra session of the Legislature.But should Mr,Wil- son decline to appoint Watts on ac- count of his reactionary record the legalized primary,which is a part of the policy of the President and ofGovernorCraig,as.expressed in his inaugural address,would be accom- plished at the special session of the Legislature.- “IT risk nothing in saying that I know Gov.Craig well enough to pre- dict that he will insist on the legalized primary at the special session,‘as hedidinhisinauguralspeech.” Trust Officials Fined For Violating Sherman Law.

The officers were notified that Conk- lin.had shot his wife and went to his homé to arrest him.Arriving they found Conklin in a very ugly mood.

Sensible Boston Women Would Abol- ish Mourning. Society women of Boston have an- swered the question.“How long should society women wear mourning for their dead relatives?”by saying in substance that mourning should not be worn.It was the concensus of opinion that it is a survival of the days of barbarians. Mrs.Charles P.Putnam,wife of Dr.Putnam,said:“It seems to me that there is altogether too much mourning worn considering our pres- ent enlightened state of civilization. The world is dark enough as it is without women wehkring crepe to make it any more gloomy.”: Mrs;Henry M.Rogers said:“Most of this crepe is worn not because the peonle wearing it wish to show theiroveror“the.dephrted,”dat becanse most people gre afraid of what péoplewouldSayiftheydidn’t wéar it.It is mostly done for the sake of appear- ance only.” Changes in Tariff Bill Senator Simmons,after a confer- ence with President Wilson,has defi- nitely announced that the proposed 5 per cent defferential on imports:in American owned or controlled vessels would be dropped from the tariff bill in the Senate on account of protests from foreign nations;and that the objections of foreign nations to the clause to compel foreign merchants to submit their books to an Americanagentincasesofdisputedvaluation, would be met.In both cases the State Department holds that protests are justified.The President upheld that view.

Discussing the proposed reorganiza- tion of the national Republican party and the attempt:to regain control of the government,the Washington cor- respondent of the Greensboro News says: Though sops to the progressives are involved,the machinery will re- main in the ‘hands of high protection forces.As many manufacturers as gan be induced to do so—and the.ques- tion is,how many will participate?— either’will close their factories or heavily reduce wages.The game in- volves a last desperate effort to put the protective tariff barons back into the saddle.“The object,of course,is to win the presidency and both houses of Congress in 1916.But to do that a victory in the congressional gictien of 1914 is essential.The present planning,therefore,looks to'the most intensely bitter off-year campaign in the recent history.of the country. “The players in such a game are not easily led to disclose their motives and detailed strategy.However, Thomas K.Neidringhaus,the multi- millionaire proprietor of the principal Granite,Ill.,industry,quite blandly drew the milk from the cocoanut while talking to the Daily News cor- respondent in the lobby of the New Willard hotel.The Illinois manufac- turer painted this picture: “"We employ over 6,000 men and women in Granite City.They are paid from $1.50 a day to $4 and $5 a day.The Underwood-Simmons bill reduces the tariff on our products somewhat more than 40 per cent.Bus- iness is now dull.The jobbers are ordering in small lots,fearing un- certain demand.We are not manu- facturing,therefore,up to capacity. We are not going to fill our ware- houses until we know where we are. Even now we have shut down two de- partments, ““The reduction of the tariff is so large that we cannot continue opera- tion at all and pay the presentelabor cost.Shortly after the new rates go into effect we shall have to an- nounce one-third recuction in wages throughout our business.The situ- ation will be the same as that which followed the enactment or the Wilson THE PRESIDENT STIRS ’EM UP.

The newspapers are being filled withpaidadvertisementscalculatedtomis-lead the judgment not only of public men,but also the public opinion ofthecountryitself.There is every ev- iderice that money without limit isbeingspenttosustainthislobbyand to create an appearance of a press- ure of public opinion antagonistic to<i of the chief items of the tariffill.“It is of serious interest ‘to the country that the people at large should have’no lobby and be voice- less in these matters,while great bod-ies of astute men seek to create an artificial opinion and to overcome theinterestsofthepubricfortheirpri- vate profit.It is thoroughly worth the while of the people of this coun- try to take knowledge of this mat- ter.Only public opinion can check and destroy it. “The government in all its branch- es oughtto be relieved from this in-tolerable burden and this constant in- terruption to the calm progress of de- bate.I know that in this I am speak- ing for the members of the two houses who would rejoice as much as I wouldtobereleasedfromthisunbearable situation.” The President’s remarks about the lobby were brought to the attention of the Senate Tuesday by Senator Cummins demanding an immediate investigation by a committee of five Senaters to determine the identity of all persons who had made efforts to present arguments or bring influ- ence to bear in favor of changes in the tariff law.A similar resolution was introduced in the House by Rep- resentative Tavenner of Illinois.Sen- ator Cummins attempted to get im- mediate action on his resolution, which would authorize the greatest investigation of so-called “lobbying” ever undertaken by Congress,but it went over on objection know the extraordinary exertion be-| by Senator| set By Lobbyists Brings Retort: trates an injystice and a fraud on the bill.The reductions will be put into |Owen.: whole.Of course it will be said the|effect and the announcement made The proposed investigation would remedy is too drastic.That is the that the old scale will be restored |require all Senators to give names| phrase usually employed when it ig|when the tariff conditions are ad-|jof persons who had approached or} proposed to apply a remedy that will |justed.’written them in interest’of _tariff| make those who do wrong cease to|“While not making guch a bold and|changes;would request President| do wrong or suffer the consequence. But what right has any man to claim the law’s protection for property on which he has failed to pay the trib- ute exacted of others to meet the ex- pense of the very protection he seeks? The brazenness of such a demand the demand that others pay for the giptaction of his property on which e refuses to pay his share—is a cause for wonder if not for admira- tion.No measure can be too drastic for such a man. * The Greensboro News is disturbed because the members of a Pennsy!l- vania medical society are going to publish a “patients’blue book,”which will show the financial rating of pa- tients,or,as we understand it,their willingness to pay.The News need not go to Pennsylvania to find this.Most of the medical societies have a “black list”and we have no doubt the medical society of Greensboro has one. While it may seem awful at first blush that a doctor will not go to the relief of suffering humanity,possibly when life may beinvolved,except for a money consideration,no doctor of standing refuses to administer ‘to those who can’t pay if they are real objects of charity;and the medical open assertion as Mr.Neidringhaus, many of the cotton manufacturers from North Carolina and elsewhere in the South have predicted practically the same outcome of the present tariff bill as the Illinois manufacturer de- clares -will result.” Gov.Blease’After Secretary Daniels. Goy.Blease of South Carolina is very much offended by the declaration of Secretary of the Navy Daniels that he will not proceed with the proposed improvements at the Port Royal Navy Yard until the sale of “blind tiger” liquor to the men at the barracks is stopped.After his recent visit to Port Royal Mr,Daniels said he was hopeful of making the place what it had been in its best days,when work- shops were running in full blast,when the island upon which it was locat- ed was occupied by many officers and their families and when everything seemed to indicate a long and pros- perous future.“You will see Port Royal blossom like the rose,”said Mr.Daniels,but added that the State liq- uor laws must be enforced before he would do anything. Gov.Blease says the United States has exclusive jurisdiction over its reservation at Port Royal and can Wilson to furnish names of persons committee to determine whether the| action of any lobbyist who might be discovered was proper or improper. Senator Gallinger thought it absurd to demand the names of men who talked to Senators about the tariff bill.They had a right to be there, he said,because they represented in- terests imperiled by the bill.Sen- ator Thornton of Louisiana comment; ed.on the steps taken by the Loufs- iana sugar interests to secure infor- mation which he presented to the Senate.“I suppose this is what some people*would call ‘insidious lobby- ing,’he said,“but it is what we con- sider an earnest and legitimate>-effort to try and save a large part of our State from this impending blow.” Senator Cummins declared he didn’t know what a lobbyist is,but he had presented the demand for an investi- gation because the Senate had been put in an unenviable position;that the country had a right to know what influences are surrounding the Sen- ate.

FRIDAY, {INSINUATIONS WITHOUT CAUSE In Washington recently Mr.FR. MeNinch of Charlotte “put out the word”that he had heard that cham- pionship of the freight rate proposi- tion would be used by friends of Mr. E.J.Justice and Gov.Craig to boost these gentlemen for the United States Genate to succeed Senator Overman. The Charlotte Observer acquits .Gov. Craig but appears +0 suspect Mr. Justice.It says: It would be unfortunate for the ef- forts of the Just Freight Rate As- sociation should the impression gain currency that politics is behind this movement.It.woutd throw a dam- per on public sentiment so much need- ed in the fight and which has been so encouragingly in evidence.It is a pity a great movement for State bet- terment cannot be undertaken without the deadly capitalization of the small politicians. It is rare that one becomes a@ con- spicuous champion of a cause with- out his motives being questioned.A good many people do not think-it pos- sible that one can champion a cause from a desire only to see justice and right prevail;and no matter how honest and sincere one may be,he may ‘expect to have his motives im- pugned both by the thoughtless and the jealous—the latter being made up of those who fear he may by championing a class gain popularity worthy cause.Some pedple have hinted trat Mr.Justice is playing to the galleries Politicians who are jealous of him and afraid of him— afraid he might become strong with the people and interrere with their plans—make the inemuation;all of which plays into the hands of the railroads.The railroad interests of course promote the idea to weaken the fight against them. Mr.Justice has appeared as attor- ney for manufacturers fighting for and is probably the best posted law- yer in the State on railroad rates. He feels strongly about this matter THE LANDMARK| 0lter it has excepted Louisiana sugar DENIES FREE TRADE PART. ‘Again the Charlotte Observer: “he Observer not being one of those who term the Underwood tariff bill a free tradé bill,it has no argu- ment with the,Statesville Landmark touching free trade tariffs on present and particular grounds,At least af- and a few products occupying a sim- ilar trade position which are put on the free list or nearly there.The point threshed out between it and The Landmark is therefore general and academic.If Judge Clark wants us to show him in detail how large revenues may be raised through cus- toms duties consistently with free trade,we think we can do so.In oth- er words,the simple fact that the Un- derwood bill raised nearly $300,000,- 000.of revenue would not stamp it as providing either high protection,low protection or free trade.It might be any of these or any combination of the three, The Landmark has been under the impression that the Observer was characterizing the Underwood bill as “free trade tariff’;at least it has been using “free trade”rather free- ly in connection with the measure and toward those who-stand for the reductions proposed m the Underwood bill.Something has been accomplish- ed by this discussion in getting the Observer to admit that the Under- wood bill isn’t a free xvrade bill. Of course The Landmark is aware that the fact that a tariff bill may raise’a certain amount of revenue doesn’t mean that it is high protec- tion or low protection..But.if it raises revenue of consequence it can- not be a free trade bill as that term is used and understood.If the fact that some articles are on the free list in a tariff!bill makes the measure a free trade bill,then every tariff measure could be so designated,for all have a-free list.Any discussion on that point,therefore,seems a mere bandying of words. Meantime if the Observer wants to act the role of teacher,give us a few lines on the subject of a tariff on Hol- land cabbage.The Gandmark tried unsuccessfully a few months ago to information from theextractsome Observer on that subject. ITEMS OF ALL SORTS. Lee W.Dutro,postmaster at Mem- phis for the past 12 years,was this week indicta by the Federal grand jury on the charge of soliciting cam- paign funds in 1910. Ten foreign laborers were killed Monday morning on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,near Doegully,W.Va. of monopoly and on every occasion is in the fight against it.But Mr.Jus- tice is not popular with the machine politicians and of course they seek to discredit him.If he becomes strong with the people through this freight rate fight he might disturb the plans of some of them.And-yet there is no evidence that Mr.Justice is not sin- cere;no evidence that he would not occupy the same position if a United States senatorship was not in sight; and whatever he may do about the senatorship,it is very unjust to inti- mate that he is in the freight rate fight solely for that purpose in the An express train ran into the bunch while they were at work on the'track. Democrats of the House will cau- cus next Monday to consider a res- olution to limit legislation during the extra session to tariff,currency and possible emergency appropriations, and to pass upon committee assign- ments. The New Jersey Legislature finally passed the jury reform bill champion- ed by President Wilson.After Pres- ident Wilson went to New Jersey and spoke for the bill the House of the Legislature passed it and the Senate turned it down.Monday night the Senate passed the bill. Secretary of State Bryan announc- es that he will tomorrow officially pro* claim election of United States Sen- absence of proof.For The Landmark’s| part,it is glad so strong a man as Mr.Justice is helping the freight rate fight and has been helping it while other public men who much love:for the dear people have done nothing,regardless of what he may do about the senatorship The Landmark long ago discredited the stories that Col.Roosevel?drank liquor to excess,and it is not surpris- ed-that’the evidence in.his libel-suit shows that he is man so far as drink is cancerned.If the Michigan editor had said the col- a very temperate onel was careless in his statements he might have made out a case;but when he tried to make him out a drunkard,on report,ne evidently laid himself liable for damages.Many re- ports have been circulated about the colonel’s habita in the matter of drink, some of them apparently so straight that they were generally believed.But false reports about public men are very common and the President of the United States is usually the worst lied on man in the country. The press dispatches from Chatta- nooga,reporting the first day’s pro- ceedings of the reunion of the Con- federate veterans,says! The only discordant note was sounded at the first business session, when hisses,finally crowned out by cheers,slightly delayed Governor Hooper in delivering the welcome ad-dress. There is no explanation of this statement,but the inference is that Gov.Hooper was hissed.We hope this is incorrect;or if it is true that the visiting veterans had nothing to do with it.‘They could not be guilty of such conduct when they were guests of Chattanooga and in a large sense guests of Gov.Hooper.

Is it less reprehensible to combine forthedelayofthecourt’s business at the public expense than to do so by accident,or to be providentially hin- dered?Most of the lawyers live in Salisbury,were costing the county nothing,but were recipients of fees, etc.,while those who were,being paidoutofthecountyfundsafdthepeo-| ple through their officials,who paid| these expenses were not notified nor|considered in the ‘agreement’at all.| “It is to be regretted such matters|cannot be considered without wound-| Asheville Citizen.° Miss Virginia Van De Water has) aroused considerable attention from | the general public by discussing cer-| tain phases of matrimony in a rath-| er bold and unusual manner.Among other things she condemns the hus- bands who make marriage a joke and who jest about what they term “mar- riage bondage.”Miss Yan De Water, however,declares that the man who is really unhappy in his married life will never say so;it is the happily married man who is thoughtless enough to uncork jokes at the eX- pense of the married state.“To do men justice,”she says,“when they are really dissatisfied with the women to whom they are married they sel- dom acknowledge that fact to other people.At least nice men do not, though cads may.One must confess with regret that a woman is more prone to discuss seriously the faults| of her husband than that husbandis | to discuss his wife’s failings-except| with herself.Women who are close| friends are,I fear,sometin-es guilty| of telling each other of the latest in- discretions and shortcomings of thelr husbands.”All of which is true.The man who is unhappy in his home life,or who is henpecked,never telrs it if he is any sort of a man.Whenever you hear some big,jovial man smilingly declarethatthe“missus won’t let him”you!know there and then that fe is hap-| py in his home life.It is not this| kind of man who brings the marriage| bond into disrepute.It-is the cheap} and low-life individual who walks the| vaudeville stage and thinks he is mak- ing a hit with his audience when he Aotorhs is makes themarriage state the butt ofhiscoarsejokes. canaWillTryWinterCantaloupes in theSandhillCountry.

The county commissioners recently discharged Mr.F.R.Sharpe,one of the road foremen,and the record of the board’s action,as’printed in The Landmark of the-20th,sets forth as a reason for the discharge that “from his (Mr.Sharpe’s)own evidence the board of commissioners is of the opinion that he uses too much whis- key,therefore they do -not need his services any longer.” Mr.Sharpe called at The Landmark office this week and made a statement for publication,as he thinks he has not received a square deal. In the first place,says Mr.Sharpe, he was discharged and his successor appointed.without any notice being given him that charges had been made against him or giving him an oppor- tunity to be heard.He was in town on the 10th of May.He was not notified that his services were unsat- isfactory or that charges had been made against him.At a special meeting on the 12th the board of commissioners passed an order re- moving him and appernting Mr.R.B. Leinster his successor,During the week Mr.Sharpe says he heard the commissioners were after him and seeing Mr.J.B.Roxch,the engineer, he sent a message by Mr.Roach to Chairman Feimster of the.board of commissioners,asking for a hearing if charges were made against him. Meantime,on Friday,the 16th,Mr. Leinster arrived at the camp with the order from the commissioners relieving Sharpe and taking charge of his camp.The next day,Satur- day,Mr.Sharpe says ne received no- tice that he could have a_hearing.

Cotton Mill Men WouWould Have a Lit-tle Taken Off at a Time, Washington ‘Dispatch,25th,—to Greensboro News. Charles Egbert Hutchison of*Mt. Holly,president of the North Caro- lina Cotton Manufacturers’Associa- tion,and J.H.Separk,of the Grey cotton mills of Gastonia,today ap-peared before the subcommittee of the finance committee and asked that cer- tain duties be raised above those néw carried in the Underwood cotton schedules.Mr.Hutchison contendedthattheratesoneeintheUn- derwood bill should be increased at least five points.He said the cottonmillmenasawholewould,be per- fectly satisfied if the Senate commit- “hop!shit, -|tee would agree to a gradual reduc- tion,such as has been suggested on sugar;that if the Senate would agree to make a small reduction now,in a year or two make another and then in three years still another reduction in the cotton schedules,there would not be a kick from any of the cotton man- ufacturers. “What we need is ting to adjust our affairs to the mew “conditions,”said Mr.Hutchison.“A few years’time would be all right.If the pres- ent bill goes into effect it will beverydevressingtothecottonbusiness in my State.We all realize this whole proposition is an experiment,as no one can tell with any;degree of ac- curacy just what the effect will be to the manufacturers,but if we are to err it is better to err on the safe side.If you should amend the House bill and substitute these higher rates, and it is found later that we can stand a lower rate,a further reduction could then he made.If you recommend an increase of five points on yarns in the House bill and it is found later”we could ‘stand a greater reduction,it could then be applied.” ‘'He insisted that yarns were as much a finished article of manufac- ture as cloth,since they were used for weaving and knitting fabrics. “Yarns are subject to even more crit- ical examination than woven fab- rics,”he continued,“and any slight imperfections are more easily observ- ed.It is impossible for us to manu- facture as cheaply as foreign coun- tries,but our ‘higher wage scale has produced in the United States a high-| er standard of citizenship among the| working classes th@in in any.other| country in the world.Any considera ble reduction in the price of labor,we would seriously deprecate.” Speaking to the subject of efficien- cy,about which Mr.Redfield,Secre- tary of Commerce,has had a lot to say in discussing the effect of Amer- ican production as compared to pro- duction abroad,Mr.Hutchison said: “It has been said the way to meet the reduced cost of manufacturing goods so that we can compete .with Europe,Japan,and other countries, is to teach our operarives greater effi- ciency.We do not doubt the sincer- ity of those making these state- ments,but when applied to the man- ufacture of yarns,it is not altogeth- er tenable.All machinery in a cot- ton mill is regulated to run at a uni- form speed to get the best results. An operative after becoming familiar with the machines knows their maxi- mum capacity and that their speed cannot be increased or reduced at will, but their efficiency stops at a given point.The textile industry is differ- ent in this respect form others where skill and physical encurance play an part.” New Plan For State Board of Educa- tion. Dr.H.Q.Alexander of Charlotte, a member o State constitutional amendment ission,will propose a change in The constitution for the a peentsoant of the State Board of Education.Instead of the Governor and council of State composing the board aS at present,Dr.Alexander | proposes’a board of five men to be appointed by the Governor,regard- less of their political affiliations,the »Jae chosen for their peculiar fitness for the position.~The plan | contemplates the appointment of one member for two years,one for four years,one for six years and two for eight years.Afterward each onewouldbeappointedforatermoffour years.This arrangement would pre- vent any one Governor appointing the whole board or even a majority of it, and in this way Dr.Alexander be- lieyes the board could be kept out of politics entirely.“He would also have this board constituted the board of di- rectors of all the State’s educational institutions,including the University anal the A.and M.College,the State Normal College,the mstitute for the blind,etc.He would make the State Superintendent of Public Instruction secretary of the board and would have the salaries of members of theboardfixedbytheGeneralAssembly as are the salaries of the other off-cials of the State.The board would also constitute the State text-bookcommission. Any plan that will take the schoolsawayfrompolitics,that will put inchargeoftheState’s educational in-terests men fitted for the work rath-er than men considered from theviewpointofpolitics,is to be com-mended.

Mr.Turlington Acted Like a Man ButNotLikeaLawyer. Greensboro News. Prosecuting a case in court at Statesville the other.day,Z.V..Tur- lington asked a witness questions tending to impeach his character.Soon after the witness left the stand the lawyer arose and said he learn- ed he had been misinformed about the witness’character,according toinformationhehadjustreceived,He wished to say sopublicly,and in the presence of the court,jury and spec- tators,who had heard the insinua- tions contained in his questioning; and to apologize for them. There are numerous sorts of mo- tives that one could think of which might have influenced the lawyer in this action;we prefer to accept the action along with the facts as they appear,and to say that Mr.Turling- ton acted like a man.Candor com-|®& not act like a lawyer.s For this case must be’almost unique.Who can»call to mind such another?The average citizen’dreads to go into the people’s court of jus-{| tice,in any capacity.If he is to ap- pear as a witness,his character is aslikelyasnottobe‘attacked by insin- uation in the questioning of the law- yers on the other side,It is not in itself a pleasant experience;lodges a doubt in the minds of spectators andthewitnesscannevermeasurethe measure of the injury that has been done to his reputation.Ruthlessness toward witnesses is characteristic of many lawyers,and it is not at all to the ‘credit of the profession that an act of simple justice to a witness like that of Mr.Turlington should be a thing worthy of special comment.

ARKLANDM -»---May,30,1913.THE FRIDAY, MATTERS OF NEWS, A cyclone at.Honea Path,S.C., Tuesday afternoon,damaged all the churches in the place,a schoolhouse and other buildings.A few persons sustained minor injuries and a horse was.killed. By the viva voce vote the Senate has adopted the resolution authoriz- ing a sweeping investigation of ¢on- ditions preceding and accompanying the strike-of coal miners in the Paint Creek region in West Virginia. Richard Henry Austin,the negro who killed Dr.8.©.Moore,Magis- trate Edenfield and Victor Bowers in Hampton county,8.C.,several weeks ago,was captured in Georgia Tues- day night.He resisted arrest and was shot but was not seriously wounded. The race question has been put squarely up to Postmaster General Burleson,in a petition signed by more than 8,000 railway mail clerks,urg- gro employes if the service.It was presented by Robert A.Prather of H Little Rock,Ark. ed that the Postmaster General issue an order putting the segregation into effect at once. A new plan for national elections and the assembling of Congress.18 proposed by Senator Works of Cali- fornia. from November to Augdist and pro- vide for annual sessions of Congress from the first Monday of October to the first Monday in June.Congress- men would assume office in October, immediately after election,and the President and Vice President would take office in November. The Senate banking and currency committee beean its investigation of what is the matter with the nation’s currency system and how its defects should be remedied,when a list of questions to be sent to bankers and financial experts was approved and prepared for immediate distribution, There are 32 questions in the list, enough,the committee believed,af- ter careful consideration,to delve thoroughly into the subject of curren- cy reform. The United States Court has decided that the gov- ernment is not required to pay the Chandler -Dunbar Water Pow- er Company $550,000 adjudg- ed by a Michigan Federal court, for waterpower appurtenant to land condemned for the construction of ad- ditional locks and canals on the,St. Mary’s river.It was held that the flow of a anavigable stream is in no sense the property wr the owner of adjacent land or of the owner of the bed of the river.The decision is re- garded as a precedent-making one. The first through cut of the Pana- ma canal from east to west was com- pleted a few days ago when two steam shovels,working from opposite directions,met at Culebra,according to a special dispatch from Panama. With the meeting of these great steam shovels,the canal was opened at grade from ocean to ocean.Hun dreds of workmen quit work and cheered when the big shovels scoop- ed out the last bit of earth.that join ed the two continents.There is still to be excavated in broadening the ca nal about 8,000,000 cubic yards of earth,and in addition the slides must be taken care of.

Property Not Listed For TaxationNot.Entitled to the Protection of the Law.A Greensboro News. In community government men cov- enant together each to contribute in equal measure of’their substance anc according to their ownership of land for thé support.of the government, and by consensus of thé majority laws are passed»fixing the percentage that all property shall pay and requiringitscollection.The collection of this revenue from personal property taxes has been a problem or increasing dif- ficulty for the nast 60 years,and many economists have come to the be- liefthat no equitable taxation of properties that may he called in-visible or approximating invisibility ean be enforced.It is becoming .adictumthat.any tax assessment de- pending upon voluntary declaration by the owner of extstence and value is a failure.But is it necessarily a failure? “People wil!not submit to inguisitor- jal methods,”we hear it said;“they re going to keep the knowledge of he ‘contents of their strong boxes to themselves.” If you are a citizen of a State you have no right to keep any of your possessions secret,because the law.re- quires you to acknowledge your goods and put a part of their value in the public treasury.But you can keep property hidden,perhaps.What is the logical attitude of the law toward hidden property?What logical claim has untaxed property to the protec- tion of the law?What obligation is the law under to secure rights of own- ership in property that pays nothing to the support of law? Logically;if you have an untaxed jewel in your-house and a man breaks in and takes it;while the man has vio-lated‘the moral law ae has not done any violence to the State law by the act of taking the jewel;the State owes you nothing on that jewel;al- thonzh it may logically execute the men for breaking into a hovse in the night time.It is clearly logical that untaxed property should be outlawed as to any claim of ownership by per- sons who have never declared owner ship before the taxing authorities.If securities are to be taxed,give no security legal standing until it has been declared for taxation.Make finders keepers of untaxed property, and see how long it will be before the invisib!holdings become visible; clamorous to buy and pay for the law’s protection.

The Gum on Postage Stamps is Made of Sweet Potatoes—Warning to Stamp Lickers. The Lutheran. Every time a person puts a United States.postage stamp to his lips he tastes the sweet-potato gum with which the stamps are backed.This gum is made from that succulent veg- etable because Uncle Sam’s_lieuten- ants consider it the most harmless preparation of the sort.: All of the gum used on American postage stamps is mixed by the gov- ernment at the bureau of engraving and printing,where the stamps are made.It is spread on the sheets after the stamps have been printed.The gum in a liquid form is forced up through pipes from the basement where it is made.These pipes lead to a series of machines consisting of roll- ers between which the sheets of stamps are fed one at a time.A con- tinuous fine stream of the liquid gum falls upon oné Of these rollers.‘The sheet with its wet coating of sweet potato mucilage passes from the rol- lers into a long horizontal flue filled with hot air.When it emerges at the other end of the flue the gum is dry.fThegovernment makes two kinds of postage stamp mucilage.if one could see the packages of stamps as they come to the postoffice ready to be sold one would find them labelled, according to season,“Summer Gum” or “Winter Gum.”The former is much the harder of the two and was devised some years ago to keep the stamps from getting too sticky in warm,moist weather. While Uncle Sam tries to make the lot of.the stamp-licker as innocuous as possible,he does not advise making a meal off his sweet potato gum.The whole process of gum making and applying is made as crean as possible, but there is yet another item to be considered. A sheet of postage stamps is han- died a good many times before it even leaves the bureau where it is made. If you must lick any of your stamps pick out those from the middle of the sheet.The corner ones have gone through the fingers of half a dozen or more counters,not to mention the perforators and the separators and the rest.(Postoffice officials are instructed, in selling postage stamps,to pass them to the customer with the gum side up»This is with the view of keeping the stamps as sanitary as possible.—The Landmark.) naenennaanamaeeecenepeumnnernmimmneeaittintint Confederate Veterans Will Meet Next Year at Jacksonville. The next reunion of the United Con- federate veterans will be held at Jack- sonville,Fla.In addition to Jackson- ville Nashville,Tenn.,Houston,Texas, and Tusla,Okla.,extended invitations. At the Chattanooga reunion Wed- nesday Gen.Bennett H.Young ofLouisville,Ky.,was re-elected com-mander-in-chief.Department com- manders were re-elected as follows: General Theodore S:Garnett of Nor- folk,commander of the Army of North Virginia;Lieutenant General George P.Harrison of Opelika,Ala., commander of the Army of Tennessee, and Lieutenant General,K.M.Van Zandt of Fort Worth,Tex.,command- er of the trans-Mississippi depart- ment. Other features of the.second day's reunion were the impressive cere- monies attendant upon dedication of handsome monuments at Chicamauga park by.delegations from Florida and Alabama,and the parade of the sons of Confederate Veterans.A _joint memorial service in honor of the Con- federate dead also was held in the auditorium at which representatives from the veterans and all other or- ganizations attending the reunion took part. ,Cotrts From Which Lawyers AreExcluded. Chicago Rerord-Herald.oy Germany has a system of people’s fromcourts which lawyers-arebarred.The object is to insure prompt and cheap justice for the poorer elements of the community. ‘The procedure in these courts is busi- ness-like and free from technicalities and red tape. Now Kansas has followed the ex- ample of Germany and established by law a system.of lawyerless courts. City or county commissioners are em- powered to appoint a judge for a debtor’s court from which law- yers are excluded.The plaintiff must _tell his own story,as must the de- fendant.There are to be no tech- nical pleas and no legal jargon.The judge may call witnesses,examine them in his own way,or otherwise investigate the case. A few such laws and experiments as this may cause the average lawyer to take some interest in law reform, in the movement for efficiency,sanityandsimplicityinourcourtsofjustice. Businessmen,too,will take notice apd ask why they,though not poor, should pay for delays,meaningless technicalities,verbiage and _profes- sional tricks,whether ethical or law. Law reform is waiting for the ax and Kansas has made a beginning.sassheatatiniieenanmanahanntattimeanabiinn Ladies’Betterment Society—News of Ostwalt School House Community. > Accidents—News of the -Hope Country.
