Rush at the Ticket Windew and Some Passengers Left. There was a rush at the ticket win- dow for the morning trains at the Statesville station Saturday,and some failed to get tickets and some missed trains on account thereof.The conditions were evidence,if any evi- dence is needed,of the necessity for the additional ticker window which the Southern has promised,under in- etruction from the corporation com- mission,to put in by the 15th of the month.Mr.J .E.Deits,the efficient and accommodating ticket agent,dis- patéhes the buviness as ranidiy ax anybody could,but it often happens, with a rush of passengers for four trains,that all can’t be waited on in the short time allowed. It is fair to say,howeve®that some people fail to get tickets in time for trains because they don't go to the station,in time.Saturday,.for in- stance,a man who came in on the Charlotte train,reaching Statesville at 9:60,did not call for his ticket un- til No.36,the east-bound train on which he wished to leave,was on the yards,about 11 o'clock.As a result he.got left and he was very much aggrieved da}_Consequence.

Collector Watts Gets Three Counties From the Eastern District-—Ap-pointments Temporarily Delayed. Recently the counties of Guilford, Rockingham and Randolph were or- dered transferred from the internal revenue district of castern Carolina to the western.district— from Collector Bailey to CollectorWiatts—and as much red tape was necessary in the transfer as if a newcollectorhadbeenappointed.Rev-enue Agent Chapin of Baltimore was in Statesville and Winston-Salem Friday,Saturday and Sunday super- vising the transfer,while Deputy In-tern:.]Revenue Commissioner Fletch- er of Washington was at the came time in Raleigh and Durham on the same business and was in Statesville Sunday., The transfer of the three counties named includes stamp offices at Reidsville and Greensboro and the of-fice here receipted Collector Bailey for $173,771.34 worth of tobacco and cigar stamps at Reidsville and Greensboro.The change will add materially to the work of the cash- ier in the Statesville office and will increase the revenue col-of this district--probably a million dollars.

At Heavener Bros’.store,cight miles southwest of Newton,Satur- day afternoon,Jake Heavener killed Sam Huffman. When the sheriff,who was notified of the killing,reached the store he found Huffman’s body lying behind the counter,where he fell when shot by Heavener,who says that Huffman followed him behind the counter,and Heavener was at his home,20 yards away,quietly settling an account with a customer. Huffman was the father of the young man whohad been on trial at Newton last week for entering Heavener's home and stealing a check end some money and raising the check from $8.50 to $85.50.This trouble is said to have been the cause of the tragedy.The store at the time of the shooting was crowded with customers who fled in every direction upon the firing of the first shot.When the sheriff arrived the store was vacant with the exception of the dead body. The crowd had gathered at a black- smith shop nearby. Heavener was taken to await a preliminary hearing Cleve McBride in the Toils Again.

Mexico City Dispatch,3d. President Huerta has been told he must resign the presidency of Mexi- co without loss of time and that he must not leave as his successor Gen. Aureliano Blanquet,his Minister of War,or any other member of hisofficialfamilyoroftheunofficial coterie whom he might be expected‘to contro,This ultimatum from Washington was conveyed to Presi- dent Huerta through his private Secretary,Senor Rabago,by Nelson O’Shaughnessy,the American charge d@affiaires,acting under instructions from the State Department. Senor Rabago presented the memo- randum to his chief late Sunday,but up to this evening President Huerta had returned no answer and,as far as could be learned had guarded its contents from almost al!of his official and intimate counselors. Those who learned of the Wash- ington note regard General Huerta’s position as one in which he will be forced to give one of two an -wers refusal point blank to comply with the demand,possibly going so far as to hand the diplomatic representa- tive his passports,or the elimination of himself officially. {While this report comes from Mexico City it is neither affirmed nor denied in Washington.) THE SALE OF RED CROSS SEALS Local Work in Behalf of the Anti- .Tuberculosis Campaign. Mr.L.B.Myers of Charlotte, secretary of the associated charities of that city,who has charge of the sale of the Red Cross Christmas Seals in the State,was in States- ville Friday and arranged for a local committee to push the sale of the seals in Statesville.The committee is Miss Laura Lazenby (chairmian), Misses Margaret Scott,Mabel Pos. ton,Kate Finley and Dr.J.E. Laughlin.Facts about the sale of the be Cross Seals and the purpose the have been printed in The Landmarkfromtimetotime,The purpose is to aid an anti-tuberculosis campaign in North Carolina.The seals are sold during the holiday season to be placed on letters and packages.They can be placed on mail or express met- ter or used in any way the purchas- er desires,Every penny received for the seals is expended in the anti- tuberculosis campaign in this State, the purpose of the campaign being to teach the people how to avoid tu- berculosis (consumption)and how to treat themselves when they find they have it.The ravages of the Great White Plague,as this disease is apt- ly called,are great,and its is largely due to the fact people generally do not know to avoid themselves when they find they have it. It is nlanned in connection with the sale of the seals to have an anti-tu- berculosis day in the churches,whenthepreacherswillbeaskedtoex plain the work,and to have a similar Mec- how we in the schools,when the work be explained+to the children.

COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS It’s almost too good to be true— the report that comes fromWashing- ton that the Democrats are planning to cut out the abuse of the frank- ing privilege—the privilege which al- lows members of Congress to send almost anything by mail free of charge.The franking privilege has been abused unti!it has become al- most,if not entirely,a scandal;and the resultant cost,which comes out of the pockets of the people,is enor- mous.In cutting “off this abuse the Democrats will be but doing’‘a plain duty,"but it’s mighty hard,to elimi- fate graft when so many men of »rominence and influence are inter- ested *n perpetuating it.@There’s a good influence in Washington,howev- er,that is accomplishing |many things heretofore regarded as impos- sible.It is to be hoped that whep he gets through with the more im- portant matters he may have time to give attention to the abuses men- tioned;and along with the correc- dion of the franking abuse,it is to’ be hoped that the custom of print- ing all sorts of things,at Wee he right to refuse one and oblige anoth-|tory game and _insectivorous birds, ment Ree te cj oe Co ear er for such reasons as seem to him|and fixes closed.seasons for the quite a habit by order of Congress,|oo5od.Credit should only be estab-|species affected.‘Laws enacted hy will also be elminated. *+.* “Paying income tax at the source” is a part of the income tax law that promises to be troublesome to work out.It means that in certain cases if you owe a man something and that man is liable for the income tax,you must hold back part of the payment and pay it to t tor.For instance the holders of Statesville and Iredell county bonds may be,and doubtless some are,lia- ble for the income tax;and in such case a part of the interest on these bonds,when it falls due,may have te be withheld and paid to the in-|-redit by years of faithfulness,while |oos,flickers (yellow-hammers),fiy he,who may be known by sight,may |catchers,grosbeaks,humming birds,| be a stranger as to his character for|kinglets,come tax collector.But how much and how you are to determine this is the problem for the Federal tax collectors to work out,and as but few of us will have to pay income tax or will be in position to be held responsible for collecting it at the source,we need not worry about it. One need not be surprised,however, when he presents a bill,to find the debtor putting him off on the ground that he must first determine whether he shall withhold any part of the amount due for income tax.This will be an opportunity that the slow- pays will soon take advantage of to defer payment. ** While there is a modicum of com- mon sense in the remarks of Con- gressman Gray of Indiana anen.the movement among members of the House to give Miss Jessie Wilson a wedding present,it aid not tie in Lis mouth to talk abont “had taste” while he was making such a monu- mental ertibition.of execrable taste.Mr.Mann,the Republican leader of the Huse,had proposed privately that the members subscribe 25 each to buy the President’s daughter,who is to be married this month,a wedding present.The mat- ter of subscribing was optional and if a member didn’t want to give any- thing he need not.Mr.Gray’a crit-icism in private would have been proper;that is to say,he would! have been within hie rights to crit-| icise in private conversation this rivate movement among the mem- rs.But to get up in the’House, before the whole country,and offer | his criticism,and then to offer to) efficially recognize the marriage by a resolution,as if it was an event of royalty,was in the worst possible taste and shows the member from|Indiana to be an inconceivable ass. nd it has ‘ne~-reiteming“features—is*the humiliating embar- rassment to the President and his family.We have no doubt that if the President’s wishes had been con sulted he would have much prefer- red that the members of Congress shoud not give his daughter a“pres- >.=eT .—private .capacity,wanted “1 show their geod will,it was not ‘within:his province to stop them.Now.thePublicattackofGrayturnstheinci- dent into one of humiliation and em- bors may receive jtrust or other not only unwise ‘and not based on common sense,but that entails pos- itive hardanie.Each business man is afraid of losing a customer that may go elsewhere.In maintaining a cash system:or a restricted credit system,one may occasionally lose a customer who feels that his honesty is impugned when he is refused credit,but the gain in other ways makes up any loss,more than a hun- dred fold.So long ‘as the business manacts sensibly and stays within his rights he need have no fear;the hanging on to the old fetich of pro- miscuous credit is something of which the modern business.man should be ashamed.Even the dead- beats have more respect for him when he refuses to allow them to play him for a sucker;and while they may swell up for a time (the greater the deadbeat the more sen- sitive he is about“his honor (7)and the more indignant he professes to be when turned down),they will eventually come to him when they have cash to spend,while the fellow who is foolish enough to credit them gets nothing-——not even their respect: The sensible’man,the man who has the proper conception of husi- ness,realizes that credit is some- thing that can be refused or with- held,and that the creditor has the lished by character—a character for honesty,‘a character which makes one’s word as good as his bond.A man who is honest and intends to pay doesn’t like to be refused cred- it,but if he is sensible he must know that however good his charac- One of his neigh- the favor denied him and he may feel indignant at the supposed discrimination,but that neighbor may have established the pect the favor. debt-paying.You may know one very well in other respects,but un- less you know his reputation as to finances you will he very foolish to risk much until you find him out, for some of the greatest deadbeats alive put up the most pleasing and agreeable appearanee and have & way with them thatwill deceive the very elect;and as for telling a man you will pay,what’s your word worth to a man who may know you “passing and repassing”but who doesn’t know your financial reputa- tion?Nobody can surpass the dead- beat in making promises. But what’s the use?One might go on discussing this subject and yet the deadbeats would flourish simply because so many people who have things are so weak that they will allow what they have to be taken away from them—will even give it away simply for the asking.RN Regulations With Reference to In- come Tax Collections.

Of course credit is necessary to car- ry on*business and probably always will be necessary,but much of itcouldbeeliminatedwithprofitto him who gives and him who receives. There is not the necessity for the credit system that existed a gener- ation ago,and it could be so restrict-ed,if business people would-handle it carefully,that the losses from.it would be reduced to a minimum. But the business people are to blame:They haven't the nerve,as a rule,to get away from the old way and adopt the cash system or even re- strict credit.Many of them encour-age the deadheats by creditigg allwhoapplyandrarelyifeveradoptdrasticmeasurestocollect.In fact bills are —presented apologceticallyandallowedtorunformonths,of-ten never collected at all.The busi- ness man ers losses, ure made to help him carry the bur-den of the leeches whom he hasn't -\the nerve to choke off. rage,and yet it’s wonderful how peo- ple will adhere to a custom that is € Ait part of ,which at least are made up by hiscashcustomers,and thus the ‘peoplewhoaretreatinghimright,payingtheirbillsandfurnishinghimthemeans{o live and run his business, It’s an out- though preserited for payment at la- \ter date.License apd bond required \for collection of income from foreign jcountries,Application to collector of jinternal revenue for Jicense required |before doing any Teakoeds.License must be taken out and bond filed on lor before December 1,1913.© Heavy penalties are imposed for failureto comply with provisions and requirements of law.A copy of reg- ulations will be furnished npon ap- plication to me.A.D.WATTS, Collector.

In Cabarrus county °a few days ago a schoolboy,just out of schoolandplayingintheroadwithhiscompanions-—-what could wee more natural?—was run over andkilled by #n automobile.’According.to the stary,the boy did not see.the car.The motorist doubtless expected he would see it and get out of the way.The driver of the car is under bond to answer to the law.While he may not be.found guilty of negli- gence,he will if he is an humane man,es no doubt he is,have over him for the balance of his days theshadowofthatboy’s death and the great and lasting sorrow to his par- ents in consequence.

TUESDAY,~.-November 4,1913. Fierce campaigns are not uncom- yon in New York city,but the one which ended yesterday seems to have been a record-breaker in what is known as “mud-slinging.”.Public men on each side were charged with all sorts of corruption and graft and -with being utter strangers to the truth;and most of the charges had much foundation in fact. Mr.A.Hall Johnston of McDowell county,who has resigned as solici- tor of the eigheenth judicial district, has quit the job,he frankly states in his letter to the Governor,because the pay is too small,Mr.Johnston says when he was elected solicitor his dis- trict had six counties.The increase in the number of judicial districts by the Legislature last winter,cut his territory down to five counties, -and in addition two counties have established recorder’s courts with county-wide jurisdiction.These con- ditions,Mr.Johnston says,have re- duced his emoluments about 50 per cent,wherefore he throws up the job and prays the Governor to appoint his successor at once. That Gov.Blease of South Caro- lina is a direct and legitimate out- come of the Tillman reign in that State will,we think,hardly be ques- tioned by students of South Carolina politics.Tillman,however,having got all he can get out of South Caro- lina,is not hospitable to Blease,pos- sibly because the latter is just a lit- tle more extreme than he (Tillman) was;and possibly for the additional reason that Tillman,having attainéd all that can be attained out of the upheaval he wrought in South Caroli- na,would now be willing to see the State become peaceful and conserva- tive politically.But whatever the cause,Tillman wants none of Blease and he strenuously denies that “Bleaseism”is a child of ‘*Tilman- ism.”His denials,however,do “not change the fact.The sensational evangelism of Sam Jones produced a great crowd of imitators.Jones would have disowned most of thém but they were the product of his work and he was reaponsible for them.Tillman’s methods are re- sponsible for Blease and his kind and Tillman can’t get away from the re- sponsibility. While Senator Overman prolongs the agony by withholding his recom- mendations for district attorney and marshal (and Senator Simmons is holding back for Overman),there seems to be no probability of change in the programme as it has been known fer several woeks—-Hammer for district attorney and Webb for marshal.The .Washington corres- pondent é6f the Charlotte Observer says Gov.Craig was in Washington Saturda}¥and put in a good word for Webb;that Mr.Ross of Randolph county,who wanted to be marshal, stl)ha poltoag the wi.wt rnbhiaf Aony- our ae geathe ee ane weet eee Gardner of Yancey county,who“want- ed to be district attorney,will be giv- en a place;that Manly McDowell of Morganton,who was promised the marshalship,will be given a $3,600 place if he will have it.(His friends say he won't have it).Senator Over- man has been unfortunate with his appointments.It seems to be a fact that Mr.McDowell was originally se- lected for marshal but he has been turned down simply to placate the frionds of Mr.Webb,who demanded something for the tenth district.Mr. Webb wanted to be district attorney and while he may accept the marshal’s office he will not feel good over it. The situation appears to be that Mc- Dowell and his friends have been an- gered while Mr.Webb and his friends have not been entirely placated Amended Civil Service Rules to Ap- ply to a Certain Case.

Hon.J.J.Jusserand,French am- bassador to the United States,and Dr.Herman Harrall Horne of the New York University,have both def- initely accepted invitations to de- liver -addresses:in connection with the annual session of the North Caro~- lina Literary and Historical Asso- ciation,which will be in session in Raleigh on the 21st and 22d. Dick Goskert,‘incarcerated “in|the locel bastile at Canton,Haywood county,for imbibing too freely,started to smoke to pass off the time.Care- lessness with the ligated match set the prison afire and while the alarm Goskert sent in awoke the echoes for two miles around,he was near suf- focated when succor arrived and the fire was extinguished.: After listening for three days to the evidence in the $20,000 damage suit of John Weaver vs.Royall Cotton Mills Company,Wake For- est,which was on trial in Wake Su- perior Court,Judge Cooke sent the jury out and told counsel that he wouldn’t allow a verdict of more than $2,500 nor.less than $1,500,and sug- gested that they get together.The case was compromised on the pay- ment of $2,500. George Huffman,the boy arrested in Catawba recently for raising a check which he had stolen from a Mr. Heavener of the Plateau section,was tried in Superior Court and sentenc- ed to three years in Jackson Training School-on account ef his age,which is said to be 15.The boy will get in the Training School when there is room.Mcantime the boy’s father was shot and killed by Heavener.

LALT Moral Effect of Secretary McAdoo’s Offer. Spartanburg Journal. When Secretary McAdoo decided to use $50,000,000 of government funds to relieve stringency the South and West he did vastly more for those sections than is measured by that sum of money.This step on his part had the erfect of eausing the great banks in the money centers, chiefly New York,to loosen up with- in a few weeks and do precisely what they had intended not to do and had served notice that they eould not do, As de Gah eee tn the in aon at ee etd _- The °$50,000,000 of government money helped some,but the other millions prized out .of the great banks by this action of McAdoo’s helped more..This was what McAdoo well kro.and intended to bring about.The more the country comes to know about this bold step by our Secretaty of the Treasury the more it is going.to appreciate its peculiar meaning. It signified a new regime in the counsels of the United States Treas- ury Department.It signified the yestoration of that department to the common possession of all the nation, to be used impartially for the good of all,instead of as pleased certain badly spoiled gentry in New York, who had come to think that the Treasury was a convenient ally of their own,to be utilized by them to the limit of the Secretary of the Treasury’s legal powers.McAdoo’s action was a flat defiance of prece- dent and served notice that the Wil- son administration meant exactly what was said about restoring.the government to the people as their af- tair and not a concern set up to stand by petted interests in this or that direction. In a word,the moral effect of Sec- retary McAdoo’s move has been tre- mendous and all for the better.He 4vas the right man in the right place.nee Scientific Probe of Industrial Situa- tion.

An Ex-Teacher Reviews Conditions find).Gives Timely Advice As.to Duties of Parents and Teachers to the Child. To the Editor of The Landmark: Statesville,R-4,Nov.1—As the time for the,opening,of ‘the public schools is ‘at hand a few thoughts pertaining thereto may.not be un- timely in the columns of your paper. I agree with you tnat the parent is ofttimes “stumped”in giving assist- ance to his child,While a teacher in’the schools of this county 1 was from time to time made cognizant of this fact and always ‘with increas- ed sympathy for the child.So the chief burden of my article shall be a Plea for the Child. One of the most eminent educators in our country today would exclaim as he stood before his classes in our own State Normal College,“Except ye become asa little child ye ean in no case become a teacher.”I would pass that on to every public school teacher in Iredell county this win- ter.Would that they might bind it upon their minds and hearts as they go in and out among their pupils. What the teacher should expect of the parent is his co-operation.To- gether they are co-workers,with each his distinct duties to perform.The parent should endeavor to supply the needs of his «child.Teachers are often handicapped because of the failure of the parent to do this.He ghould see that the child attends school and have time to prepare his lessons and encourage him in so do- ing.He should also insist upon his obedience to authority,which is one of the first steps in making of him a law-abiding citizen,But the ac- tual teaching devolves upon the teacher.What docs the average pa- rent know about “phonics”?The simple elementary rules of arithme- tic are not taught as they were a generation ago.The teacher pre- sents them in one way,the’parent another;the two are confusing to the mind of the child.There was truth in Billy Dock’s article that the “chief business of a teacher is to teach’; not to cram the child with text-book knowledge alone;not to enslave him to some idea but to so arouse him that he may give birth to ideas of his own;to create within him a de- sire to know;to direct him;to help him think for himself.In other words,to teach the young idea how to shoot. To vlant the generous purpose in the glowing breast—‘efficient him self,imparting efficiency to the child.”Such is teacning in the true sense of the word and I care not how scholarly vou may be,if to this you cannot attain you shall be “weighed in the balances and found wanting” and cannot in the highest sense be a teacher.As a mother of little chil dren,today let me ask you have you those ideas?Sit down and examine yourself.See whay your purposes are.Are you willing to put forth effort to help those entrusted to your care to make of themselves all God has made them capable of becoming? If so,all honor to you! Is the child dull?It is yours to arouse the latent energies;to awak- en the slumbering thought;to en- kindle the live ‘coal.Is he cimid? Play gently upon the heart strings. One unkind word or look may crush him.Teach him to be courageous and self-reliant.Is he bright and mischievous?Help him best direct his energies,make him worthily em- bitions.Is he wilful?Dea!firmly, yet kindly.Bring tact to the res- cue.Make him believe that you be- lieve in him and so by a sort of strategy transform him from wilful- ness to obedience.Be careful in judgment.Exercise plenty of com- mon sense. Have you the secret of dispatch? Do you know how to economize tinte and space?Are you resourceful? If one means fail can you try anoth- er?All this necessitates work,and this you must*be willing to do both in school and out of it.Work you must if.you would keep your rfind filled and your heart aglow.With these you may create both interest and enthusiasm,and having these Tose anahlr**sororning te LS iee: WOM.A ¥er,sreeenie BO *by such a spirit,there will hang not the “palsy of fear’but instead there will “reign the stillness of ac-tivity.”The child has cayght the contagion and no longer “creeps un- willing to school,”but gladly bounds forward to meet not the “stern brow”but the face of him:whose manner invites respect and whosewordsgiveinspiration.Fortunate is that child who in the most im- pressionable year of life.is placed undertheinfluence of such a teach- er.Who can tell.how far-reaching is the result?Pity the child who through the tenderest years of hislifeismadethevictimofincapable and unworthy instructors.Who can estimate the loss to him and through him to the intelligent citizenship of our State? Committeemen should have a care how they select teachers at haphaz- ard to place over little children. They should spare no pains to find out who the real teachers are,and if possible have no other.If such they find let them rally to her;hold up her hands;keep her;let her not go;she is everything to the child and.beware,patron,how you find fault with that.teacher,lest haplyyouspeakagainstaninstrumentinGod’s hands .in fashioning his own. Teacher,we are builders,you and 1.We build of things that perish,or build of things that endure.We build for our country’s weal,or build for our country’s woe.Shall we.beashamedofourworkmanship?Shall you be worthy your hire?Then, teacher efficient and faithful,vetter than ‘any emolument you may re- ceive,will be to know that you ‘liveagaininheartsmadebetterbyyour presence.”Yours ia the joy,of un- selfish service.If trials beset your path (and their name ts legion)be of good cheer,maintain.your poise,even so they did those who went be- fore you.You will have your re- ward.Should false accusers rise up against you,believe me,be not dis- turbed.Sooner or later they will all slink.away before.the face of hon- esty and truth, nen And teacher,another thought for you.If you would reach the moth- er-heart this ‘winter think of the.lit- tle child who comes to you over.won roads and through cold,perhaps,all muddy and bedraggled,and do what you can to make him comfortable. if heated from:his’play,see that there -are no draughts,:and have a care about fire.Some little child's health may be sapped;some little child’s life may be sacrificed because of neglect.Look ye well to it. And just here |might add in the vicinity ‘of Statesville,alongside of our fine roads about which we pride, exist conditions that make it practi- cally impossible for either teacher or pupil to do her best.Let com- mitteemen,patrons,county board, together with our newly-elected su- perintendent put their heads togeth- er and see that all,such conditions which have too long existed shall not further obtain.Time is passing,our children are the losers and through them also our State. Teacher,have I made my ideals too high?Let me say if you can: not approach to them,then do not en- ter the school-room but seek some other calline for which you may be better fitted. If this shall help any young teach- er to solve the problem of school life or cause any parent or teacher to think more deeply on these things, and so work out good for the little child,then .the object for which it was written will have been obtained.E.H.W.eerie It is Ignorance of the Bible That En- dangers the Liberty of the Citizen. Raleigh Christian Advocate. It was ignorance of the Bible that ever enabled any ecclesiasticism to subjugate the consciences of the people and to exercise a ,tyranny over the State.And when,Martin Luther unshackled the Bible,when he dug it out of the monasteries and made it talk directly to the people, he broke the fetter of their servi- tude.It was the truth of the Bible in the minds and hearts of the mul- titude that kindled the aspiration and fired the mind with the determi- nation to be free.It is the Bible in the hands of the people that has made the throne of the Pope to tot- ter and has shaken the triple crown from the brow of the pontiff.No people indoctrinated.with Biblical truth has ever yet long submitted to the tyranny of Church or State,and those who are actuated with the aims of the despot never look with a friendly eye to the freedom of this Book. And yet we hear men talking of in- tolerance of reading the Bible .n the public schools,We are warned of the injustice of reading this Book to the children of Jews.and Catholics and others who may not believe some of its teachings.And what matters it,pray,if they do not?They are at iiberty to continue their unbelief, and so are their children.There is no effort here to compel faith.There is no forcing upon them the burdens of any ecclesiasticism.There are no imitations put upon the liberty’of their conscience.It is opening to them the light of the liberty of truth.If they choose to walk in it, theirs is the liberty to do.it;if they choose to reject it,no man has the right to say them nay. “Hoss”Sense. Saxby’s Magazine._ A traveler in Indiana noticed that a farmer was having trouble with his horse.It would start,go slowly for a short distance,and then stop again.Thereupon,the farmer would have great difficulty in getting it started.Finally,the traveler ap- proached and asked solicitously: “Is your horse sick?” “Not that I know.of.” “Is he balky?” “No,but he’s so danged ‘fraid I'll say whoa and he won't hear me that he stops every once in a while to listen.”, The.Mecklenburg fair at Charlotte last week wes a success,fianancially and otherwise.The attendance was more than double that of last year.

TUESDAY,---November 4,1913. THE LANDMARK MR.McDOWELL’S =POSITION. He Was Promised the Position of Marshal and Will Accept Nothing Else From Senator Overman, The following article,written by a citizen of Morganton and publish-ed in a recent issue of the Greens- boro News,over the signature of “Fair Play,”is sent The Landmarkforpublicationasshowingtheposi- tion of Mr.Manly McDowell and thefactsinregardtohiscandidacyfor marshal: “Soon after the Democyatic partycameinto,power,Manly McDowell cf Morganton decided to apply for the marshalship of the western dis- trict of ‘North Carolina,and with this.object in view he visited Sen- ator Overman and informed him of his intention,but assured him that if his candidacy would in any way embarrass him (Senator )Overman), Mihe would not pursue the matter fur-ther.Whereupon he was assured by Senator Overman that it would not only not embarrass him,but onthe contrary would afford him great pleasure to appoint him,and that he need not bother about recommenda- tions,that he knew him,knew his fitness for the place and his servicestotheparty,and that he should have the appointment as soon as it could be made. Senator Overman,so we are told, also stated to W.C.Ervin,R,T. Claywell,W.C.Newland,and others, at different times,that the matter was settled as to the marshalship, and that he was going to give it to Manly McDowell..About a month ago it began to ‘be whispered around Hthat Col.A.D.Watts,the recentl, appointed collector of the *wester: district,was fighting McDewell and was urging Senator Overman to ap point-Hon.C.A.Webb of Asheville, marshal,and that Senator Overman would probably appoint Mr.Webb, and provide for Mr.McDowell an other place.In the meantime Mr Webb came out in an article saying shalship;that he sought and expect ed the district attorney’s office.The only argument we have heard for the appointment of Mr.Webb,is that the State chairman of the Demo cratic party must be provided for Why?Clem Manly was not pro vided for;Hugh Chatham was not provided for;A.H.Eller and J.H Pou were not provided for,and,| cast no reflection on Mr.Webb that either of these men is his equal in ability,in loyalty to party,as well as in services rendered.However,we make-no objection to providing for Mr.Webb.We fayor it.The thing we object to,the thing we protest against,is the taking care of Mr. Webb with the office sought and not desired by Mr.Webb. “We do not think Senator Overman will do this.We do not think he can afford to do it even to gratify Col. Watts.Mr.McDowell and his friends say that Senator Overman promised positively and unconditionally to ap point him marshal.A _gentleman keeps his promises or gives a good reason for not doing se. ;Overman is a gentleman,Senator |Overman should appoint McDowell junless he has a much better reason |for not doing so than has yet tadvanced,and we believe he wil |Mr.McDowell should have this \office,because of his special quali ification to fill it,having long |sheriff of his county.He should have }it because of his long and loyal jvice to the Democratic party. |}should have it because of his lo}} |to Woodrow Wilson,and the services irendered him in the conventio iwestern North Carolina, on men were not plentiful as they are now.Mr.McDowell should have |Fats office becatse Senator Overman |pramised it to him.Mr.McDowell jasks for the marshalship of tl jwestern district of Northjhe’for nothing else jaceept nothing.else at the h In thig his fr Senator ne en -en when the asas He will ie .ze To turn McDowell “down now,after the assurance he has had of his ‘ap- pointment,for the past eight months, will be a.humiliation which he will feel keenly,and which his friends will resent..If Senator Overman is wiseitwillnotbedone.”* of Her Honor Divorced Rosa D.‘Hayes,who shot and kill- ed Robert M.Floyd,a prominent young man of Horry county,8.C. about two years ago,and was subse- quently acquitted of a charge of murder on the ground that she kill- ed him in defence of her honor,has been divorced by her husband,NealM.Hayes,who alleged Biblical grounds,according to a dispatch from Wilmington to the Raleigh News and Observer.Evidence was adduced to show that she is jiving an immoral life in Columbia,S.C: The killing of young Floyd tookplaceatthehomeoftheHayesesat Mount Tabor,this State. At the time of the killing and thesubsequenttrial,there was doubt in many minds ‘whether the defence of- fered by the woman was genuine; and this latest event may increase that doubt.

Counting Tons of Gold and Silver Money- New York Dispatch. About 84 tons of gold which lies in the United States sub-treasury in Wall street,guarded night and day by a small army of watchmen and a battery of machine guns,is being counted by nine men sent over fromtheTreasuryDepartmentatWash- ington.Between 25,000 and 30,000 tons of silver also is being counted, as well as several million dollars in bills and a few tons of nickels andcoppers. The task was begun Tuesday and will keep nine skilled men busy for three weeks.At the end of that time they are expected to inform Martin Vogel,assistant United States Treas- urer in charge of the New York sub- Treasury,that he has $171,103,280.12 of government funds in his keeping. If they shbuld report one dollar more or less than this amount there would be no rest until the cause of the dis- crepancy was discovered. Mr.Vogel took office on Monday and became responsible for the money in the vaults.He is under $600,000 bends and will be required to give a receivot for the money on hand.Only when a new official takes charge is such a count made.

It.was decided some time before to build a new house in said district. The patrons got up a petition avking for .a certain location,On this pe- tition was represented 21 or 22 ac- tual bona fide petitioners.In addi- tion to the prayers of all these peti- tioners,a deed for two acres of land upon Which to build and a subserip- tion of $150 to help on the house was offered.There was some opposition to the site we offered.The opposition of- fered a petition.Their petition rep- resented about six or seven actual bona fide petitioners.When 1 say who live in our district or patronize our school and signed but one peti- tion.Quite 2 number signed both petitions.In some instances,where ihe husbands had signed our peti- tion,the other side prevailed with their wives to sigti<their petition, The opposite side offered no _help whatever.Notwithstanding the fact that we had at least three actual bona fide petitioners to their one, and effered $150 on the house and a nice location free,the board refused to grant our request and ordered the house built on the old site,it being| at least a helf mile farther from the point we were asking for than they (the board)were asked to go.

Republican Leader Mann’s :plan for.subscriptions from Congress- men to a wedding gift for Miss Jes- sie Wilson,was denounced in the House today by Representative Gray, Democrat,of ‘Indiana,who said ‘the movement was “in exceedingly bad taste.”Gray declared that few of the members knew the bride-elect end he offered a resolution declarin that members of the House “exten gratulations and well wishes as a symbol of the solicitude of this great nation for the happiness and welfare of all our people.” No action was taken on the res- olution.While Gray was speaking he waved a check for $5,which he said he would give to “some poor child who at Christmas time neers through the windows of a tov shop.” “J wish to absolve myself,”said Gray,“from the movement to give the President’s daughter a wedding present.This is in bad taste and I am sure it has for its foundation only a desire to attract attention—a4 morbid desire for recognition.I[ think it especially bad taste,an in- discretion and a piece of unwarrant- ed assumption,to tenJer the Jady any trinket.Except for a fey mem- bers,none of us is a personal”friend to this family The great body of members are strangers.The White House knows us only in our repre- sentative capacity.It is proper to recognize the coming wedding,if at all,only as an official act and the mly way the House can properly participate at.the coming wedding would be through a resolution” Representative Pou of North Car- olina objected to any consideration would be through a resolution.” Mr.Mann,as Republican leader, ended the incident with a statement that it would pe “hopeless to try to put into Mr.Gray’s soul the expres- sion which finds itself in the heart of every other member of_this House.Other members do not need to be told why.” Five Per Cent Clause Gives Trouble— Attorney General's Opinion.

The highest award,consisting of a gold medal and $2,000 in cash mon- ey,goes to Charles N.Wright,a merchant,88 years old,.of High- lands,N.C.,who with William,L.

Baty had fallen from the summit of Whiteside mountain at.Fool’s Rock,rolled 150 feet down an almost vertical cliff and lodged against a small bush,two inches from thebrinkofaprecipice2,000 feet deep,part of his body dangling.over’the edge.Wright and Dillard descended the vertical ledge,their only hand- holds or footholds being ridges and hollows,not more than an inch.in height or depth.Wright’s wife saw him and began to scream.He was nearly unnerved,but pushed ©on. Stopping at a tiny bush six feet above Baty,he let his foot down to a ledge two feet above the*brink and then grasped Baty’s coat collar.Ba ty gave a sudden jerk,but became quiet when Wright threatened him. Pinning his legs around the bush, Wright drew Baty up to a place of comyparative safety,where Dillard, who had lost his nerve in the final Stages of ‘the rescue,was waiting. The two men took Baty,who was de lirious,15 feet across the bare face of the cliff,within 18 inches of the brink.Then they moved Baty to the foot of the vertical ledge at the summit,from which point he was hoisted by means of-a line.He re covered.The rescue took two hours and 30 minutes. ture.You know how Write for our little bookpipebehindthewarmingcl tion,oven Attorney General McReynolds has to Secretary McAdoo his writ-| ten opinion on the effect of the bve | per preferential on goods brought to the United States in| American ships,as promised in the} new tariff act.Although the opin-| ion Was not made public,it Was gren-| cent erally understood that Mr.McRey-| nolds did not differ in ideas of the| preferential clause held by State and Treasury Department officials that | the discount in American bottoms| cannot be granted unless the same| given to most nations| of the world that figure in its com-| merce.| The opinion is said to be based up cn a proviso in the law that the pref-| erential clause shall not be taken to] impair the treaty rights of nations| having commercial pacts with the/ United States.

Dr.Hunter's Strong Sermon—All the Presbyteries Represented— Moderator Simpson Takes Hold— Yesterday Afternoon’s Session— Christian Education Discussed Last Night. With the main auditorium of the church filled with delegates and townspeople,the 110th annual ses- sion of the Associate Reformed Pfes- byterian Synod of the South convened ‘in the First church of Statesville yes- terday at 11 o'clock.The exercises vpened with a song service followed by prayer and ‘sermon by Rev.Dr. Ww.ML.Hunter of Little Rock,Ark., chosen by the last Synod to preachtheopeningsermonofthissessionin place of the retiring moderator,Rev. J.H.Pressly of Statesville,because of the fact that Mr.Pressly’s church is host to the Synod..The sermon was a most able one and very ap- propriate to the occasion because it was directed to the ministers and Christian workers. Taking for his text the third verse of the sixth chapter of Nehemiah, the same being Nehemiah’s reply tohisenemieswhowantedtodrawhinawayfromhiswork,Dr.Hunter made modern applications of the truths brought out in -the story of Nehemiah.There are today many ealis to lure the Church from her cuerter duties and heavenly mission, declared the speaker,the first of which are the outside organizations, including business,social and frater- nal organizations.The minister has a specific work te do and should not get mixed up in too many other things which take so much of his time.The first thing some young ministers.do when they go into a town is to undertake to run every- thing,including the’ladies’societies, the social functions,the literary clubs,fraternities,style of dress and even love affairs,thus scattering their forces and frittering away their time in endless details.In this day the masses demand that the Church preach labor sermons and do a great many things that have only an indi- rect bearing on salvation,and unless this is done the Church is criticised. In reality the Church is doing the most that is done for labor and the masses in that she sends 17,000 of her best men and women into the foreign fielda and give 226,000,000 for want and ignorance.Wherever the gospel is preached men treat each ether better and adopt the molden rule,which means better conditions and better business.This is a dayforreligiousspecialists.“This one thine I do;I'm determined to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ end Him crucified.Let the dead bury the dead,but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”Worldly frienddhips and worldly partnerships lure the Christian from his post.Many persons who would otherwise be active (Christians are tied up in having a brother-in-law or some other person near to them in terested in bad business.The effects of this are being seen in the attempt to remove the saloon from Little Rock Many who would like to see the liquor business killed have friends or relatives engaged in the business and for this reason will not work and yote against it.They love the praise of men more than the will-of the Master.The saloon keeper says it will injure business and wants a com- promise.Nd@hemiah was unwilling. to sacrifice in his duty.He stood hy his guns and held his ground,an- awering the forged note of his ene- mies who desired him to desert and seek shelter in the temple with the words,“Shotld such a man flee?”The Captain of our.ministry . T-mde us standard-bearers and’we hould stand like Nehemiah.There- in was his crown and renown.Dr. Isaac Grier and the others who held the .Associate Reformed Presbyter- ians together in the years past and saved the organization of our Church, were Nehemiahs.We should stand by the old truths,the pure gospel of the old Bible.The minister is often tempted by literary,social,theatrical and other methods to desert his real work.There are so many sermons today which have no blood in them. The subject could be changed andtheywouldfitanyoccasion.Thecriticisingpublicdesiresthatthe ministers compromise in a manner that will not hurt the devil or injure Christ,and the ministers try to please thém.The mania nowadays is for large crowds.I declare unto you there is nothing so attractiveasJesusChrist.“If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.”Moody and the other great ministers who preached the true gospel drew large crowds,saved many souls and wonhonorandgloryforChrist. *** When Dr.Hunter concluded,Rev.R.R..Caldwell of Bessemer City, the retiring vice moderator,formul- ly constituted the Synod with pray- er.The other Synod officers,‘Dr.A. S.Rogers of Rock Hill;S.C.,Rev.E.B.Kennedy of Due West,S.C.,and Rev.J..M.Bigham of Hunters- ville,the stated,reading and bill clerks,-respectively,came toplaces’and the roll call followed.ItwasfoundthatallthePresbyterieswererepresentedattheopeningse3-sion as follows:Arkansas Presby-tery,four ministers and one elder;First’Presbytery,82 ministers and24elders;Kentucky Presbytery,two Memphisministersandoneelder;Presbytery,ten ministers and~oneelder;Second Presbtersandsixelders; and Alabama Presb: and*- their ay 25 ae ampico,Mexico,Presbytery,two ministers;Tannen Many others came in during the dayandtherewillbecominguntiltheendoftheSynod. Following the roll call the vice moderator introduced the new mod- erator,Rev.Dr.John H.Simpson of Chester,8S.C.,the oldest minister oftheSynodsaveone.Speaking in ahumorous.vein which caused ripplesoflaughter,Dr.Simpson said thatoneoftwothingsaretrue:He has either been a long time getting ready for the honor of moderator,or else Synod has been a long time firdingoutthatheshouldbemoderator.He said that he was neither embarrassed nor scared,but felt honored in hisposition.He hoped that everybody would be good to him and promised that if any one.became possessed of an evil spirit and disgruntled —hewouldgogethisviolinandplayfor him,He then named Rev.Oliver Johnson of Winsboro,S.C.,as vice moderator.At this juncture Rev. \J.H.Pressly,the retiring modera- tor,stepped forward and presented Dr.Simpson with a gavel which is highly valued because of its history. It was cut from a block sawed off a jlog taken from the ruins 6f the.first|Associate Reformed Presbyterian jchurch built in Iredell county,then |Rowan,150 years ago,which was old |New Stirling church,some miles west of Statesville. With his gavel in hand the mod- erator announced the Synod ready for business and a number of items of unfinished business brought over from the last meeting.of the Synod were quickly disposed of before the noon recess.Rev.R.M.Stevenson, treasurer of the colored evangelis- tic fund,appointed by last Synod to receive contributions,reported that $145 had been sent him we an unknown friend and that amount was turned over to the president of Knoxville College,a colored institu- tion of the Church. Afternoon Session. The afternoon session was given principally to routine business.The moderator announced the commit- tees,23 in numbér,which will take up the work of the various depart- ments of the Synod and make their reports later.Numerous reports from boards,Presbyteries and stand- ing committees were received and referred to the newly appointed com- mittees. Rev.I.S.Caldwell,field secretary of the home mission board,made a strong appeal for work in the mon-tains and mi districts.He has re-cently visited Swain and Clay coun- tiles In the western part of this State and he spoke interestingly of the conditions in these counties,telling of their destitution and need of mis- lsion stations as well as the mill.dis tricts.

COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS When it was announced from Washington recently that Senator Simmons would support.Congress- man Claude Kitchin for the chair- manship of the ways and means committee,some of the Senator’s friends glocied in the fact that he was heaping coals of fire on the heads of his political enemies.|It scems, however,that Senator Simmons ob- jects to being represented as willing to split his shirt to help.Kitchin,as witness the following inspired an-- nouncement from the Washington correspondent of the Charlotie Ob- r: eeUsartator Simmons thinks that his attitude toward the candidacy of Representative Claude Kitchin may be misunderstood in the State.He said that it would be quite an ‘hon- or for North Carolina if the chairman of the Senate finance committee and the House ways and means commit- tee were to hail from that State.He declared that he would not throw any obstacle in Mr.Kitchin’s way, but that he was not going to pull 6ff his coat,for him.” Which means that w ator will not fight Mr. will not help him.Not so muc after all. hile the Sen- Kitchin he h fire ** Cases where women have had men arrested,or have brought suit for damages,for being kissed against their will,are common.But for a man to object to being kissed by a woman—at least to object to the ex- tent of bringing suit against the la- dy—seems to be something new un- der the sun.A case of this charac- ter,however,is reported from Den- ver,Col.J.8.Blakely of that city has filed suit for $5,000 damages against Miss Myrtle Howard,vaude- ville actress,for kissing him.Blake- ly,accompanied by his wife,was at the theater where Miss Howard ap- peared.It was a part of the play for Miss Howard to waltz into the audience and kiss a man.The man was selected in advance of the per- formance and his consert obtained for the osculatory performance.On this occasion the man had been se- lected and his consent obtained,but when Miss Howard came to this part of the programme Blakely,who sat near the man selected for the part and resembled him,was kissed by mistake.In his complaint Blakely asserts that he was conducting him- self “in a perfectly orderly manner” when Miss Howard approached him and without warning Kissed him,he says,before he had time to ward off the osculatory attack,which was “en. tirely unexpected.”As the result of being kissed,Blakely states his wife has become estranged and has threatened to leave him.When they returned home from the theatre he was compelled to submit to a severe “scolding”administered by his wife, he declares,wherefore he prays the| court that he be awarded $5,000 as) balm for his ruffled dignity and for| the severe,scolding he suffered from Mrs.Blakely.The wife,it will readily be seen,is the trouble.It Blakely could have been kissed “un- beknownst”te hie better half he would have ‘made no objection. a e When it was announced that Mr. Josiah William Bailey of Raleigh would be appointed collector of in- ternal revenue,some of his friends| remarked that.the appoin‘ment | would not interfere with his law) practice.The Landmark suggested that the appointment should inter- fere with his !aw practice;that no man had a legal or moral right tovakeapublicpositionandthenuse the time for which he is paid by the people to attend to their business, for his private business.The edit-or of The Landmark has enjoyed the personal friendship of Mr.Bailey for many years and he did not believe he was the kind of man to be collector in name,draw the salary and usethetimetoattendtohisprivateaf-fairs.‘That opinion of Mr.BaileyTrasbeet,ivefified,A news item -in the Raleipn wews and Observer shys Collector Bailey returnéd Monday morning from Wake Forest,where he spent Sunday,“and the two hours from the duties was the longest ab- sence that he has given the office since taking charge ‘The co‘lector has decided to be collector and is on the job every hour of all the working days.”A few days ago Collector *Bailey was quoted as saying that every man vwho held a job under him would have to work;that there would be no sinecures while he was collector.Good for Mr.Bailey! That’s the kind of public fficial that’s worth while and the kind that the people will cal:to higher hon- ors. »* The Charlotte Observer cites the numerous reported instances of per- sons taking bichloride of mereury by mistake as support of the belief of things coming in cycles.It notes that in two days eight cases of this character were reported in the pa- pers.The Landmark had observed the same thing with interest.Some months ago a young man in a Geor- gia town took bichloride of mercurybymistake.He lived a week or more,conscious part of the time.Hig case attracted widespread notice and the newspapers gave much space to all the details and daily reports of his condition.That was the first case to attract so much notice.Sincethenasimilar.case has been report- ed every few days—most of the cases being attempts at suicide. Some of the victims died and some survive.Cycles like this are often cbserved by readers of newspapers, but sometimes.the instancas ‘arerobablymoreapparentthanreal. ‘an unusual occurrence is not-|ed in the newspapers,one that at- tracts general attention,there seemstobea-sort rivalry at times in news circles to rt something sim- ilar,to show that the original re- port isnot unusual or that othercescanproducesomethingequal to it or more unusual.Not all these reports of similar oocurrences arebasedonfact.In ttm same way, spreeElectStateTveketsJin .Ma ocrat Elected Senator in Maryland —Fusionists Beat Tammany:in New York-—Kepublicans Elect State Ticket. The returns of Tuesday’s election show a complete triumph for.the Democrats in Massachusetts,where the Democratic State ticket ‘was elected;the overwhelming defeat of Tammany in New York city by the fusion ticket led by Mitchell,Demo- erat,for mayor;the election of a Democrat United States Senator in Maryland;the,election of the Demo- eratic State’ticket in Virginia with- out opposition,and the election of the Democratic State ticket in New Jersey by a close vote.; The most surprising victory for the Democrats was in Massachusetts, where there were seven or eigh*tick- ets in the field.David I.Walsh, Democrat,present Lieutenant Gov~- ernor,was elected Governor by a plurality of about 50,000.His most prominent opponents were Augustus *Gardner,Republican,Charles 8. Bird,Progressive and Gov.Eugene N.Foss,independent.Foss the pres- ent Governor,a former Republican, left the Republicans some years ago and had ,been chosen Governor as a Democrat “tree times.This year he got out of“line with the Democrats and ran independent.Bird,the Pro- eressive candidate for Governor,re- ceived a large vote,running up to if not ahead of Gardner,the Republi- ean candidate.The Massachusetts Levislature continues Republican in both branches and in the third con- gressional district Paige,Republican, was elected to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Wilder,Republican. Tammany Beaten in New York City. The fusionists defeated Tammany in New York city.John Purroy Mitchell,Democrat,last summer ap- pointed collector of the port of New York by President Wilson,was the fusion candidate for mayor against Tammany,being supported hy a coalition of anti-Tammany Demo- crats,Republicans,independents,etc. Mitchell’s plurality is about 75,000 over McCall,the Tammany candi- date,and the fusionists retain con- trol of the important board of esti-mates.Apparently with the excep- tion of Assemblymen in the districts which usually go Democratic and minor borough officers,the opposition to fusion elected only one of its nomi- nees—Maurice E.Connolly for bor- cough president of Queens.The fusionists elected borough presidents in Brooklyn,the Bronx and Richmend and apparently also in Munl.«attan. The result thus indicated would leave Tammany,but one vote out of the 16 in the board of_estireates, which controls the city’s purse.A fusion majority ir.the beard of alder- men also seems assured. The returns indicated a Republi- can majority in the General Assem- bly,which has been.Democratic,and the election of a Republican Chief Judge of ‘the Court of Appeals and nine Supreme Court Justices. Democrats elected members of Congress in the thirteenth and twentieth New York districts,where elections were held to fill vacancies. Sulzer Wins Big Victory. William Sulzer,ousted from the governorship of NeW York last month by verdict of a high court of in peachment,was elected to the State Assembly from the sixth district by a sweeping plurality.estimated at 2,000 or more.Suzer ran on the Progressive ticket and apparently polled more votes than his Reput li. can and Democratic opponents com- bined..His old neighbors on the East Side rallied-strongly to his support and it was éarly apparent that he had swamped the opposition.Joy in his headquarters was unbounded,Sulzer regarding his election as a vindica- tion and personal triumph. "Democratic Victory in Maryland. In Maryland State Senator Blair Lee,Democrat,was elected to the United States Senate to fill the un- expired term of the late Isaddr Ray- ner by angestimated plyrality of from 20,000 to 35,0°0 over former Con- gressmen Thomas Parran,Re nbli-can,and former United States Sena- tor George L.Wellington,Progres- sive. Charles P.Coady,Democrat,was elected to Congress from the third district in place of the late Repre sentative George Koenig. The Democrats »were victorious all along the line,slecting Emerson C.

Those Who Insisted That They CouldNotLiveonaSalaryShouldNot an to Be Retained on That Ba- sis. To the Editor of The Landmark: One who was very much interested in the salary question of last year was much surprised.some days agoteseestatedinTheLandmarkthat the present county officers would:all stand for re-election.Since reading that item I have taken some notice to things and am convinced from what I have seen and the way some of the old officers are shaking hands, that some great change has come over them. If my memory serves me_right,and from the statements made by some of the officérs in reference to putting them on a salary,I had no idea that one of them would offer The Difference ALLE the kitchen. another time,especially since the} salary bill has been passed.It was stated as a scare against "putting them on a salary,that we could notgetanhonestmantoacceptona salary basis;that there was not one but could make more at something else;and as we all know that we have had honest men in office in Ire- dell county,how shall we reconcile the statements made when we are told that all the vresent officers will accept another term,even on a sal- ary?While we are given to under-| stand that they will again accept| even on a salary,the important ques-| tion for us is,shall we accept them| on a salary,when they had to be| forced to submit to the law being | passed?While they have all made| good officers,yet we do not want to| force men to office on a salary,and for that reason we would prefer a set who were in favor of the sala- fries and who worked for salaries with no view to office. Surely the present set cannot,in justice to the many other good cit-| izens,claim that they are entitled| to the offices longer,since all but one has held for six years,when the present term expires,and that one has held for 16 years.It may be that this one has held so long that} he can claim by peaceable poss alae | for these 16 years,therefore he} should hold for life.| We do not know what the rest of| the county may think but for our| end of the county we are for an en-| tirely new set,from Alpha to Ome- ga.While it is some time yet before the primaries,we would like for the people of the county at large to be- gin to think on these things,lest ithe organization will have laid their plans so well that they would be hard to roust .a AS % Railroad Attorneys Remember President Andrews.

FRIDAY,----November 7,1913. A year or so ago a man in Catawba county whe went rabbit hunting on Sunday was accidentally shot and killed.Last Sunday in Wilson coun- ty a young man who was rabbit hunt- ing was,killed by the accidental dis- charge of his gun.Moral:Avoid rabbit hunting on Sunday. Taking note of the recent an- nouncement that “Americans desir- ing to go to Mexico will receive no assistance or encouragement.from the administration,”the Henderson Gold Leaf opines that “if we can all wait a little while longer,the admin- istration may be offering us all sorts of assistance and encouragement to go.”The indications now are that the government will,in the near fu- ture,not only be offering inducements to folks to go to Mexico,but that it may send a good many without their consent and who would much rather stay away. The Landmark printed a copy of the invitation to Miss Jessie Wilson’s wedding,whereupon.the.Monroe Journal wants to know if The Land- mark editor has been invited to the wedding and the North Wilkesboro Hustler assumes that he has been invited.Wrong,impression.This editor has not been invited to the White House wedding,praise be,and there are no sour grapes in this ex- clamation of joy.A wedding pres- ent for the White House would cost more than the average North Caro- lina editor could afford in these days of the high cost of living.But all the same,we’re wishing Miss Jessie mighty well.ae The Charlotte .News,after giving itself over to the joyful gontempla- tion of real sausage—country sau- sage properly seasoned with sage, pepper,etc—bemoans the fact that “eracklin’pone,”which it insists is a necessary accompaniment of the sausage,is no more.The Greensboro News proceeds to explain,with con- siderable waste motion as to words, that cracklin’s are not usually a part cf a pone but are found in bread known as corn dodger.As some- thing of an authority on the “vittles” of the past generation,The Land- mark butts in to say that the Greens- boro paper is right,generally speak- ing,bat that cracklin’pone is not unknown.Dr.Patton doubtless new it in Burke.However,cracklin’ bread would be a little strong with the sausage.The ideal bread with the sausage is biscuit,the browned biscuit such as your mother used to bake for breakfast.Cracklin’bread should be served with little meat,for it is bread and meat combined.

On behalf of the community The Landmark gives the delegates to the Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church a cordial wel- come to Statesville.We are glad to have them with us and we trust that their stay here Will be pleasant. Small in number compared with some of the other denominations,its membership scattered over large ter- ritory,this Church is a strong force in the work of the Master.While in- strumental music has been admitted and one can’t always tell by the tune whether it is a Psalm or a “man-made hymn”that is being sung,the Asso- ciate reformed brethren have clung closer to the old paths,to the faith once delivered to the saints,than any of the other denominations.They preach the plain gospel,their mem- bership is made up in the main-of a sturdy class of citizenship who feur God and eschew evil,and wherever they plant their standard the de- nomination makes an impress and gains strength. White House Relics Collected. Washington Dispatch. JAfter a search covering several years,Mrs.Abby G.Baker,in charge toric relics,has placed in the cab- inet’s household relics of the admin- istrations of Presidents Tyler and Van Buren.Mrs.Wilson has taken a deep interest .in the collection, which includee dishes and personal effects used by former occupants of the White House and has expressed her thanks to the donors. Fifoool Meroe Shawsville,Va.and .is a dinner pat one of a set especially prized by President Tyler.In adjition Judge D.Gardiner Tyier,a sen of the President,who lives in Sturgeon Point,Va.,has advised Mrs.Bak that he is sending two silver frui baskets which were used in the White House and which were rescued from the ashes of the Tyler home when it was burned after the surrender of Richmond,in the war between the States.: ‘Mrs.Helen Singleton Green of Co~- lumbia,.S.C.,furnished the Van Bu- ren relic,a handsomely engraved sil- ver water pitcher,a gift from Ben- jamin F.Butler to the President.

In Wilson county Sunday an au-tomobile collided with a horse and the horse was killed.The same day, in the town of Wilson,an automobile collided with a bicycle and the bicy- cle rider,a young man named Moore, was seriously injured. Mecklenburg county commission- ers recently voted to discontinue the $700 appropriation for farm demon- stration work,but the pretest against this action was so strong’that the commissioners,at their session Mon- day,reconsidered and voted the ap- propriation. The point at issue in the case of Ballard vs.Lowery from Anson coun- ty,argued in the State Supreme Court this week,is whether a sum- mons served by telephone is legal. The court will be asked to reverse the lower court on the ground that the summons,being served by tele- phone,was not legally cerved. Sunday morning Paul Ellis,a young farmer of Stantonsburg town- ship,Wilson county,shot himselfvac- cidentally and death resulted instant- ly.Ellis and several companions were rabbit hunting and when Ellisattemptedtopullhisgunthrough the fence the weapon was discharged.

His wife was away on a’visit when he was found.Pitt had been drink- ing heavily.He was 24 years old and is survived by his wife and twoemallchildren. It is said that the insurance in- vestigation commission,appointed at the extra session of the Legisla- ture,will retain the law firm =of Kitchin &Manning to assist in the investigation.Gov.Kitchin,the head of the firm,sent two messages to the Legislature during his adminis- tration urging investigation and mak ing.the severest charges against the conduct of the fire d insurance com panies in this State. The News says Dr.L.M.Morris, a traveling man out of Norfolk,Va., jand will not change the color of the “Good Citizens”Charged With Sell- ing Liquor in Asheville. In his charge to the Buncombecountygrandjuryattheopeningof court this week,Judge Frank Car- ter,an Asheville resident,urged thejurytomakeasweepinginvestiga- tion of local conditions.He said the indications were that the sale of whiskey in Asheville had been tak- en out of the hands of bad men andhadbeenplacedinthehands.of “ood”citizens—men who can boast of bank accounts that enable them to employ the best lawyers and fight their cases with no regard for ex- penses.The judge said a friend had told him that one drug store report. ed,accordin’to law,the sale of £2 gallons of whiskey last month, while the records of the freight de- partment of the Southern railwayshowthatthestorereceived1,700 gallons of intoxicants, Judge Carter urged that the jury- men study the railroad and expressrecordsandputastoptotheillegal sale of whiskey in Asheville.The charge caused a sensation and the admonition of the judge that the grand jurors should investigate the sale of liquor as carried on by drug- gists,was received with no little con- cern in many quarters,it is said. File ProtestRates. Formal protests have been filed with Governor Craig by nine of the railroad companies doing intra-State. freight business in’North Carolina against the application of the Justiceintra-State rate act of the recent ex- tra session of the Legislature.The protests ask that the special rate commission provided for in the actbeappointedtoinvesfigateandad- just the rates on a basis fair to the carriers. The Southern railway,the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line,more especially,file exhibits along with their protests that show differences between the rates in this State and a number of other States, and the effect that the application of the proposed rates will have on their earnings.All the railroads as- sert that the rates are low to a degree that they are confiscatory and disastrous to the railroads in North Carolina.

Died in Asheville—The Passing of Mrs.Correll—A Marriage—Road Legislation By County Commis- sicners—Taylorsville News. Correspondence of The Landmark. “Taylorsville,Nov.§—Mrs..Sarah: Sechler Correll,widuw of the late J. D.Correll,died ‘Sunday morning about 9 o’clock at the home of her sori-in-law,Mr.R. P.McLain,in Sharpe’s township.Mrs.Correll had a stroke of paralysis about five years ago and had been very feeble since then:A year ago she fell and so injured her back and hip that she was confined to her bed and in almost a helpless condition after the fall. Mr.and Mrs.Correll moved here.in 1889 and lived here until Mr,Cor- rell’s death in 1892.Since then she has made her home with her daugh- ter,Mrs.R.P.McLam.She was a loyal member of the Methodist church -here and was highly esteemed by all who knew her.Deceased was 85 years of age last June.Surviving her are three children,namely, Messrs.B.V.Correll of .North Wilkesboro,D.W.Correll of —this place and Mrs.-R.P.McLain.The fu- nera!was held at the Methodist church here Monday afternoon at 12.- 20 and the interment was in the town cemetery.Rev.M.T.Smathers,pas- tor of the deceased,conducted the services. Dr.0.L.Hollar was advised Mon- day of the death of his brother,Mr. Herry F.Hollar,at his home in Asheville.Dr.Hollar went to Ashe- ville Monday night to attend the fu- neral,which took place Wednesday afternoon.Dr.-Hollar returned Wednesday night. Mr.Luther Icenhour,son of Mr. D.E.L.Ieenhour of Wittenburg township,and Miss Lottie Sigmon were married Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride’s parents,Mr. and Mrs.L.C.Sigmon,in Witten- burg township.Mr.J.W.Thompson performed the ceremony.ok’ The board of county commission- ers met in regular session Monday. Two new public.roads were granted —one in Taylorsville township from near John Stikelgather’s to near Da- vid Christopher’s;and the other from the Broad Shoal road to Mountain road near Julius Martin's,in Tay- lorsville and Miller’s townships.Af- ter considering the petitions in re- werd to discontinuing a new road in ‘Ellendale township from Froglevel, intersecting with the old road near the Munday graveyard,the commis- sioners decided in favor of continu- ing the new road.Three of the pe- titions were in favor of discontinu- ing and one against discontinuing the road.Two of the commissioners had inspected these roads.No other business of interest was transacted. Miss Laura Hedrick,who for some time has had a position with the Scout Publishing Co.,has resigned her position there and will teach the Shady Grove school in Gwaltney’s township,beginning Monday. Miss Mabel Cloer has returned from a three weeks’visit to her brother,Mr.Bert Cloer,in High Point.Rev.G.W.Morrison is at- tending the meeting of the A.R.P. Synod in Statesville this week.Miss Sarah Burke has returned from a visit to friends in Statesville.Attor- ney W.A.Bristol of Statesville spent Wednesday here on business. —_—_—_——————— Supreme Court Ruling Affects Search and Seizure Law. The State Sdpreme Court has made a ruling of special interest as to the application of the search and seizure act,in the case of the State vs.Zip Wilkerson,from Vance county. Wilkerson was convicted at Hen- derson for having 11 1-2 galions of whiskey in hig po&session.-He show- ed that he had been to a point in Virginia and purchased a gallon each for 10 other people and an extra gal- lon for himself.His agreement with the other 10 was that they gave him |- $2 each to huy the whiskey and ai extra 50 cents for hauling it’to Hen derson.He kept a wagon and a bug- gy for hauling and had.the whiskey in the buggy when it was seized near Henderson. The trial judge charged the jury that Wilkerson was guilty under the search and seizure law.On Appeal the prosecution argued that if he was not guilty under the search and seiz- ure he was guilty under the club act of 1911.The Supreme Court holds that he was not guilty under the search and seizure act,and that he was not on trial for any violation,of the club act.A new trial is ordered. Judge Clark dissents from the opim- ion of the court,which is written by Judge Walker.The Chief Justice as- serts that to small avail is the State prohibition act and the subsequent acts of the Legislature and of Con- gress.to cure defects that the courts have revealed,if such a case as this escapes the condemnation of the law,and that it seems that legislators and Congressmen are still unable to use language to express their mean- ing effectually when this language is to be subjected to the critical eyeof‘the courts.

Sam Coltrane,formerly of Ran- dolph county,North Carolina,now in the Federal penitentiary at Leaven- worth,Kan.,will probably leave the prison a free man within the next few days.He has already served nearly half of a 25-year term for murder and only recently has the murderer been feund and convicted>An _innocent man,Coltrane owes his coming free- dom to Senator Overman,who made it possible for him to be transported from Kansas to Oklahoma to testi- fy against the man whose testimony at the former trial had helped to im- }pose ten years of confinement on Col- trane.About twelve years ago Coltrane moved from Randolph county to Ok- lehoma.Shortly after his arrival in that State a man was found dead and a man named Watson said that Col- trane killed him.Justice in those days in Oklahoma was a hit or miss affair.A new county was trying hard to be virtuous against great odds.The trial judge refused to con-tinue the case yntil two witnesses for Coltrane,who were out of the State, could be returned.The case went to trial,Coltrane was convicted and sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary. Friends of Coltrane had the case re-opened.a short time ago upon the return of the two witnesses to the State.Watson,who swore at the former trial that Coltrane killed the man,was indicted,Senator Overman secured permission for Coltrane to be taken from the penitentiary to tes- tify in the second trial.Watson was convicted of the murder and the jury unanimously regommended that Col-trane be pardoned.Arrangements for the pardon are how being made, Later Election News—Larger Plurali-i _ty in Massachusetts.

After prolonged discussion the vote of the Synod sustained the board in its purpose to pay only half salaries. The second matter which brought forth much discussion was a recom- mendation that the efforts to estab- lish a delegate fund,by which the strong churches will help the weaker ones to send delegates to the meet- ings of Synod,be continued.The recommendation was finally adopted. The Erskine College committee re- port was adopted.It approved the purpose and plan of the executive committee of the college to bégin a campaign for an additional $100,000 endowment. A resolytion was adopted request- ing Dr.R.M.Stevenson of Due Westtogiveallofhistimetoeditorial work on the Associate Reformed Presbyterian and Dr.Stevenson an- nounced that the request would be carried out.He has been giving a rtion of his time to teaching in the ‘oman’s College.

Maj.W.W.Boyce,who recently made a trip to Mexico to see his son, Rev.W.W.Boyce,who is a mission- ary,made a brief report to the Syn- ed of conditions found at the mis- sion stations during his stay in Mex- ico. Special prayer was offered in be half of Dr.H.M.Henrw of Alaboma, who is ill,Dr.R.L.Robinson of Due West leading the prayer. Inactivity of the Church. “The Inactivity of the Chureh” was the subject of Rev.Mr.McDill’s excellent sermon.After giving some statistics.showing ‘that the work of the Church is done by about 10 per cent of the membership,the remain- Ger being inactive,Mr.McDill de- clared that the kingdom of God will mever come until.the people awake to personal evangelism and the whole Church membership becomes active. He gave the various causes of inac tivity,elaborating on each.The main cause,he says,is ignorance of God’s call to man and the Church. The people need more enlightenment about God’s call and an awakening ef their own power.General indiffer- ence,careless and neglectful pastors, a lack of «spirituality,worldliness, and failure of -proper child training are other causes.‘Some of the re- silts mentioned are depleted treas uries,prevalent evjls which would pot exist if the Charch were active, and misjudging by outsiders. To yemedy -this condition the speaker plead with the ministers to take a look at theimselves,study the life of Paul and the more*modern fathers of the Church and apply their methods to themselves.Be eourageous,because it-takes courage te be-a Christian.It took courage for William Jennings Bryan to sub- stitute grape juice for wine. Next Meeting at Little Rock—Dr. Parkinson Moderator. Principal features of the Friday afternoon.session were the selection ef the next meeting place,the election ef the next moderator.and the salu- tations from the United Presbyterian Church extended by Dr.Jamison of Indiana.Little Rock,Ark.,was se- leeted as the next meeting place and Rey.G.G.Parkinson of Due West,S.C.,was selected as moderator.The only other church asking for the next annual meeting of the SynodwasYorkville,S.C.Dr.W.M.Hun- ter of Little Rock presented the claims of his church,city and Pres- bytery for the next meeting and .Pas- tor J.L.Oates of Yorkville spoke fortheYorkvillechurch.Little Rock won by a good vote,the matter real- ly having been somewhat “cut and dried”in advance. There were three nominations for moderator,the names of Rev.T.B. Stewart of Virginia,Mr.A.G.Brice, minent lawyer of Chester,S..C., and Dr.Parkinson being presented. The two former asked that their mames be withdrawn in favor of Dr, Parkinson,but.those placing them in nomination would not:accept the withdrawal and all names were voted on,Dr.Patkinson winning by a large majority.Dr.Parkinson was con- sidered the man for the place byYeasonofthefactthathefounded *the first Associate Reformed churchinLittleRockandwaspastorthereuntilhewascalledtotheworkat the Theological Seminary,at Due West,where he is professor of He-brew and Church History.We is a native of Tennessee.Statesville feels a special interest in Dr.Parxinson _because he married here,his wife be- hg a daughter of Mr.M.E.RamseyStateavi tleman and a speaker,was heard.with much interest.He said that of the whole.sisterhood of Churches,he believes that the United Presbyterian Church loves the As- sociated Reformed.Church best.It is hard for us to realize that you are a different Church,he said,be- cause of the similarity of the two. We are not only the same kind of people,but the same people.We feel the deepest interest in “your work, which is our work,and we feel that your successes are cur successes.I am not here to plead for an organic union,or to say anything against it; I am not here to criticise your judg- ment or question your wisdom.I am glad we secured the tip that union could not be brought about, but we are:still in the market when- ever you are ready to consider the union.Too many of us live too much in the past.The great reformers and fathers of our Churches did not live in the past,but broke from the past.There are problems today dif- ferent from those of the past)and we should meet these.problems.«The co-operation and unity among the veligious ‘people is better today than formerly.In the years past families of a certain denomination made it a point to settle in certain communities and then they would plant a church of their denomination.Today the church is planted in a eommunity and the religious people of the community join the church and go to work with- out regard to denomination.The country is being flooded with immi- grants and they must be transform- ed into Christians or else they will destroy the Church.Co-operation and unity are necessary and it may be best for us to join hands before it is too late.The Church of Christ in this country is far from being one Church today,a lamentable fact.It would seem that the preservation of the old purity of worship has been left to the United and the Associate Reformed Presbyterians.In closing Dr.Jamison announced that the next session of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church would be held in New Castle,Pa.,next.May and invited Synod to send a repre- sentative to the meeting. Must Sing Psalms. In accepting Dr.Jamison’s saluta- tions Moderator Simpson assured him that he was glad that the courtship between the two Churches was-still being kept up,though it is the long- est courtship he has known,having begun 48 years ago.Some day there might be a union,he said,but none of the United Presbyterians who sing hymns will be accepted by the As- cociate Reformed folks.They must keep,on singing the Psalms if they ever expect to be united.The moder- ator thanked Dr.Jamison for his presence and expressed a hope that Synod would elect a man to attend the next annual meeting of his Church’in Pennsylvania. Special Prayer For Aged Brother. Special prayer was made for Rev. J.G.Miller of Tennessee,who is suf- fering from the infirmities of age. Dr.Hunter of Little Rock led the prayer. By special réquest Maj.Boyce drew a map of Mexico on a blackboard and made a further report about his visit to Mexico early this year,point- ing out the location of the different mission stations and telling what he found at each.Mr.Boyce said that his visit gave him a more exalted opinion of missionaries and their ef- ficient service in advancing Christ’s kingdom.The shortage in service is with us at home.He is persuaded that a lack of knowledge of our mis- sions causes a lack of interest and the lack of interest re- tards progress.He further believes that a great crisis is now upon Mexico and the Church of Christ should be planning for bringing peace not by shot and shell;but by the ‘gospel. Home Mission Evening. An audience which taxed the ca- pacity of the church attended the ses- sion Friday night set aside by Synod for the celebration of the 25th an- niversary of the organization of the Home Mission Board of the Church. Dr.J.C.Galloway of Gastonia,amembervfthebeard,presided “and there were addresses by Dr.W.M. Hunter,the board’s missionary in Little Rock,Ark.,and-Rev.Ira C. Caldwell of Greenwood,8S.C.,,the field secretary of the board.In ad- dition to being the 25th anniversary of the organization of the board, Friday night also marked the fifth anniversary of the present personnel of the-board,being the end of the five-year term.In opening the meeting Dr.Gallo- way told something of the organiza- tion of the Home Mission Board at the meeting of Synod in Arkansas 25 years ago,explaining the difficul- ty with which it was formed by reason of the fact that the older members of the Synod opposed.it. The young men finally suee@bded in its establishmer%against the will of the older ones and within a few years the board proved itself one of the best agencies of the Church and was found to be a necessity.The board has had many perplexing dif- ficulties to overcome,not only in a financial way,but in the matter of fitting ministers to congregations and congregations to ministers,but ef- ficiency has always ruled‘in the choice of ministers and the work has been successful.No set of men in the Synod has -worked harder than the members of this board and no others realize more than they how much easier it is to get money for foreign missions than it is to get it for home missions.For the first time in its history the Foreign Mission Board comes to Synod with a deficit this year,while on the other hand the Declare War on Coids. |A crusade of education which aims “that common colds ‘may become uncommon within the next generation’has been begun by prominent New York physicians.Here isalistofthe“don'ts”which the doctors nay want the annuat.visitation of the “Don't sit-in a draugnty car.” “Don't sleep in hot rooms,”“Don't avoid the fresh.air.”“Don't stuff yourself af meal time. eatittg reduces your resistance.”To whieh we ewould add—svhen you takeacoldgetrid-of it am qitckly as possible.To Over- lle.Greetings From United Presbyterians.Dr.Ja who is a polished gen- accomplish that you will find Chamberlain’ssc,Sneny moat excellent.Seld by all Home Mission Bourd has always beenconfrontedbyadeficit._ans Work of Home Missions and Church»,Extension, “Pwenty-five Years of Home Mis~sions”was the subject assigned toDr.Hunter,who gave the history oftheworkoftheHomeMissionBoardfromthetimeofitsorganizationtothepresent,telling of the wonderful |; work it has accomplished and,theblessingithas’been to the Church.The Home Mission Board and theBoardofChurchExtensionwere merged some years ago and a review of one means the review of both.This board has blazed her path for 25 years,said the speaker,erecting churches and preaching the gospel. For 75 years the Synod went along without any business methods and theBoardofHomeMissionswasaGod- send,and one which came none’toosoon...The prosperity of the Asso-ciate Reformed Church began with the building of Erskine College,and then there was a period of trials and depression at the close of the civilwar.ttematizedpefidd of the Church beganandistellinginherhistory.Twen-ty-five years dgo there were 7,262 church members in the Synod and they gave $5,374 to home missions, while today there are 14,374 mem- bers who pay $12,000 to home mis- sions,.We have doubled in member- ship and more than doubled in con- tributions.During this period theHomeboardhashelped50churches, 38 of which are in cities and larger towns.Twenty-five per cent of these churches have gained 44 per cent of the total membership of the Church and out of the total of 134 churches these 83 churches have given 63 per cent of the total contributions,It is a significant fact that for every year during its organization the Board of Home Missions and Church Exten- sion has built a new church,25 churches in 25 years,in addition to giving aid to others.These figures successfully answer the question: Does it pay? Speaking from the subject,“The Future of Home Missions,”Mr.Cald- well predicted great success if the Church will rally to the support of the board.He said he considered the Associate Reformed Church very fortunately located;that the country is becoming awakened to the fact that ours are to become great States.If we do our duty we will reap our por tion of the reward.The attitude of the Church will have much to de with the success of home missions.We should be just as much concerned about the man next to us as we are about the man in the heathen lands The personal elemient—who will do the work—the training our children are given at home and in the schools and colleges,and the influences thrown about them,will greatly affect the success of the work. Educational Meeting Thursday Eve- ning —Church and State Schools. The first speaker Thursday eve-ning was Dr.J.S.Moffatt,president of Erskine Collere at Due We aneducatorofprominenceanda“live wire,”so to speak,in the Synod. “The Aim and Ideal of the Churen College”was his subject.There are two main agencies engaged in the work of education,said thé speaker, the State and the Church.The State is deeply and vitally interested,as is shown by the liberal appropria- tions for education.The State has a lofty aim—to produce.an inteili- gent and efficient citizenship rhe aim determines the ideal of the State,namely,to develop mental ca- pacity,a grasp of present-day prob- lems,a knowledge of practical af- fairs,a respect for human rights and a healthy patriotism.The State college exists for the State,its pres “4Rt ervation and progress. The Church-college is one founded and maintained by some branch of the Church.It cannot go into the business of education $0 extensively as the State does,but derives great benefits from the arrangements of the State.The aim of the Church college is also to preduce an intelli- gent and efficient citizenship,not,of the secular merely,but of the heav- enly kingdom.If one is a worthy citizen of the heavenly kingdom,he cannot fai]to be a worthy citizen of the earthly State.There is no an- tagoftism between the aim of the State and the Church school.In ed- ucation the State can do some work the Church cannot do,and the Church can do some work that the State cannot do.The aim of the Church college is essentially the aim of the (Continued on sixth page.)

The Greensboro News,which is strong ‘on tacties,thinks the Attor- ney General has committed a “tacti- cal blunder”in asking the North Carolina district:attorneys and mar- shals to resign.It says: “We cannot help looking upon the letter of Attorney General McRey- nolds asking for the resignation of four Republican officeholders in_this State as a wretched error of judg- ment,unless the department of-jus- tice has grounds for throwing them out if they flatly refuse to budge. Judging hy press reports the depart- ment has no such grounds,and the officeholders have the underholt.They are standing pat,and if they are summarily removed they will be look- ed upon as martyrs,to the discredit of the administration.” Unless public opinion in North Car- olina’has undergone a wonderful change—a change of which The Landmark is not aware—the mar- shals and district attorneys who are asked to resign will get no.sympa- thy,except possibly from a few of their own kind,if they attempt any martyr role.So far from that,they will.become objects of contempt to the great mass of Democrats and Republicans alike,by trying to hold on to jobs to which they are not en- titled,under an administration with which they are not in sympathy and which some of them would discredit if they could.The Landmark has point- ed out again and again that the four-year term of the marshals and district attorneys inde#™Cleveland expired in 1897 and their successors were promptly appointed.Counting four year periods,the terms of the marshal and district attorney for this district expire this year; and if their commissions for now terms had ‘heen issued promptly and dated from expiration of former terms,the commissions would expire this year.But because they were allowed to go on holding office after commissions expired and when re- ccmmissioned the commissions were given date of issue,In this way giv- ing the occupant a year or two years’ extra time,is not a sound reason why they should be allowed to hold on till date of expiration of present commissions;‘and this attempt to eep something to which they are not entitled comes with poor grace fromacrowdwhich,as everybody knows, would be rending the air with their howls if under similar circumstances an attempt was being made to keep Democrats in under a Republican ad- ministrationataSERENEEE The Good Roads Days last week were not a success from the stand point of actual roed work accomplish- ed.The entbhusiasi.was pot very widespread and about the only good accomplished was probably the in- culcation of the good roads spirit in nome localities where that spirit is needed.While hoping for the best results from it,The Landmark has not been able to see much in the oe of having State-wide Good yvads Days,such as were recently exploited in Missouri and Kansas, except to arouse and foster the good roads spirit.The actual work doneonsuchdayswillordinarilyamounttolittleandtheplanwillworkreal harm if it should encourage the idea ~——as is not improbable—that a few days’work &year is all the rends need.We've had that for more than a hundred years to our great detri- ment and are trying mighty hard to ret away from it.Furthermore,the idea of Governors,judges,lawyers, doctors,or other men unused to hardPhysicallabor,going ouf to work on the roads,amounts to n&thing-oxecept ao to *boost i road -work. e are more hospitaMe to the Char- iotte Observer's idea of taking up a collection from stich people and hiring actual work done.It’s all right,as said,in so far as it encourages the community spirit of co-operation and general helpfulness in public im: provements,but the volunteer road- working plan,depending on enthusi- asm t6 carry it along,will not suc- ceed as to practical results. The Landmark recently mentioned the case of the city school board of Winston-Salem,which brought suit against the school board of Forsyth county for a part of the public school building fund.Judge Cooke held with the plaintiff,the case was apnealed and the Supreme Court has affirmed the lower court.This means,as The Landmark understands it,that here- efter city schools will get their prératapartofthepublicschoolbuild- ing fond,just as they now get their ver capita apportionment of the pub- ic school fund.As the towns pay county taxes—-usually a large share et the county taxes—there was neveranyjusticeinshuttingoutanytown institution from any part of the pub- lic fund to which it would be entitledifitwasoutsidethetown.In otherwords,because a cofiimunity is incor-porated as a town or city and levies extra taxes.for certain purposes is no reason why any part of the county co Mr.Justice OfferedaPlaceCounselFortheGovernment. Mr,E.J,Justice of Greensboro,=iwho was in Washington last week,was-offered a place as special counselforthegovernmentto.prosecute im-portant cases now pending and tocomeup.Mr.Justice has not statedwhetherhewillacceptbutit‘is be-lieved he will.The position,says aWashingtoncorrespondent,carriesa salary of $7,500 a year and.Mr.Jus-tice would rank as the third highest man in the department,being next inlinetoAttorneyGencralMcReynoldsandthefirstassistant.The Attor- ney General,it if said,-had~beenlookingforalawyerbigenoughfor the job.and Mr.Justice was suggest-ed by Secretary of the Navy DanielsandCommissionerofInternalRev- enue Osborne.Senators Overman and Simmons also endorsed ‘him.IfMr.Justice takes the job his _first work will be in California,where the government has a sult involving 2,- 400,000 acres of land,worth $40,-000,000.; Mr.Justice some time ago.an- nouncad that he would be a candidate for the Senate next year.If he ac- cepts the government position it will take him out of the race;but it issaidthatSenatorOvermanhad nothing to do with securing the offer of the position for him.A) Warfare Without Quarter at Monte- rey,Mexico. Warfare without quarter,says adispatchfromLaredo,Texas,with the opposing armies burning ©and dynamiting all that seemedto stand in the way to victory,has been wag- ed at Monterey,Mexico,between the defending Federals and the besieging Constitutionalists.Many bodies were left in the streets until a lull in the fighting should afford time for their burning.A view of Cuauhtemoc street,near the National railway sta-tion,where the conflict .centered, showed an entire block destroyed by fire and canonading.Numerous corpses are in the rvins.Gen. Miguel,whose residence was one of the finest in northern Mexico,was burned to death when Constitution- alists destroyed the house by fire. The north facade of the government palace was shot away.The property loss is said to be incalculable.The loss.of railroad property alone is estimated at $7,000,000. Gov.Glenn Will Say About January Ist. Last summer Gov.Glenn announc- ed that he would state definitely in September whether he would be a candidate for the Senate.The an- nouncement was not made,but in Washington last week the Governor said he would make definite an- nouncement about the first of the year.He-said,however,that the elimination of Mr.EB.J.Justice as a candidate--if Mr.Justice is elimi- nated—would not influence his de- cision. It is still asserted in Washington that Gov.Glenn will be offered a place on the Inter-State Commerce Commission.But we will have to wait until the happy,glad New Year to know whether he will be offered a Federal job,whether he will accept if the offer is made or whether f will be a candidate for the Senate. » Weather-——-Freezing Temper- ature This Week.

Sete—_—_—_ W:D.TURNER, ~President, G.EK.HUGHEY,-Assistant Cashier. ‘|termed Dr.Moffatt was followed by Dr.R.L.Robinson,president of the Wo- man’s College at Due West,who spoke on “The Mutual Expectations of the College andthe Church.”Dr. Robinson said that never before has woman been so nearly equal with man in educational advantages.Intheolddaystheideaprevailedthat Church,always in line with the de- nomination which it represents.The college should always keep in mind the principles of the founder of our religion,and the teachers should by all means be Christians.The teach- er has a strong influence over.the student and we don’t want teachers and the teacher who leaves out Gol has failed.The Church also expects the college to equip a woman for the work she is to do in life,because ‘t has been truthfully said that educa- tion is the preparation for complete living——to bring a man or woman to realize or actualize themselves.First of life there would be fewer suicides and less business failures. Next is the sphere of social life. Herein is a legitimate place for sv cial education.The woman has place in the social life above that of man and although she should not give her life to social clubs she should have a good social education. A woman educated in the truest sense will properly conduct her home in this sphere.The industrial sphere of \life is becoming more prominent 'There are more women today than | their |lever before who must make lown way in life,and there are many iwho are ambitious to become inde pendent and make their own Way, even though it is not necessary.lor this reason provision should be made for her industrial education. work in our own Chureh.The Church than the pastor or missionary,Thejcollegealsohas.eight to expéctmaterialequipmentfromtheChurch.

Another explanation given by some is that.the spirit of the age isresponsible.It is a money-loving age,when money value is placed -on everything.It.is a fact that when money-making becomes easy you find fewer men offering themselves forthéministry.Where we find this ry. Still another reason,and the one I believe is above all others,is the decay of the country church,The tor of the eighteenth judicial districttosucceedA.Hall Johnson,resigned, The News says the apples coming in from the mountains to the Lenoir market are very fine;that while thecropislargerthanthe_first esti- mates high prices rule;that mountain cabbage-is also moving in,quantities and the price is good.

In a formal letter Attorney Gen- eral McReynolds has requested the resignation of District Attorney Hol- ton and Marshal Logan of the west- ern district,and District Attorney Seawell and Marshal Dockery.of the eastern district.This is in line with the demands made upon the Attor- ney General by the North Carolina Senators.The letter of the Attorney Gener- al-has of course been treated as offi- cial business and therefore.confiden- tial,but those who have been permit- ted to see theofficial note are amaz- ed at its tenor.In fact,it is declar-ed ly friends that the Republican of-fictals.could not well resign,under the verbiage of the McReynolds let-ter without appearing to impeach the character of their own services to, the government.The letter is said to set forth that the department wishes to effect certain changes to alter “conditions”in the districts and bik to Greens- of those now holding offices.None of the officials concerned will resign.On the contrary they will car- ry the fight to the White House should that drastic step become nec- essaryasked to tell the country what hemeantwhenhedeclaredthatRepub- licans should not be removed for purely political reasons. The Attorney General does not in- timate what changes he desires made in the service,nor does he charge that any part of the service has been unsatisfactory.Nevertheless the de- partment asks that the resignations be so worded as to indicate that the present officeholders are effacing themselves to the end that the sup- positious changes can be -made.8 before stated,none of’those con- -leerned have the slightest idea of re- signing,unless their mountain friends are greatly in error. Refuse to Turn Loose. Washington Dispatch,7th,to Greens- boro News. Neither Marshals Dockery and Lo- gah nor District Attorney Seawell will resign their positions with ‘the government until their commissions expire,some time next year.It is believed that District Attorney A. E.Holton will also refuse to sepa- rate himself from the government service until the commission given him by the Taft administration ex- pires.This was the information giv- en Senator Overman when he called at the Department of Justice this morning in quest of information re- garding the attorneyship and mar- shalship for the western district of North Carolina. Attorney General McReynolds is in the West arguing the Harvester trust dissolution cases.Until he returns no further action will be taken.It is in- timated that Mr.McReynolds will find a way to separate Messrs.Logan, Dockery,Seawell and Holton from their jobs when he returns to Wash ington.There are a few Democrats, however,who declare that these men cannot be removed,except for neglect of duty,until their commissions ex pire,unless President Wilson him self should take a hand in the mat ter.ED An Endorsement of the Administra- tion,Says Pence.

They Left Pleasant Memories-—Reg-olutions of Appreciation —Reun-ion of Classmates—The PresslysStrongintheA.R.P’s., The delegates to the Associate Re- formed Presbyterian Synod have gone,but their memory abides, |They werea fine lot of folks and dur-ing their stay here friendships were formed among the people of States-ville as a whole as well as withthoseoftheirowndenomination.Afewof‘them had been here on oneothersuchoccasion,when the SynodmetinStatesville22yearsago,and.|it is quite likely that some of themwillattendanothersuchmeeting here,though Statesville will not be entitled to another meeting until an-other score years have passed.Thatthemeetingjustclosedwasasuc- cess goes without saying,and manyofthedelegateswhoattendthean-nual gatherings regularly declared.this one to be the best.The Synod tion of its treatment -here in the fol-lowing resolutions présented by the Synod committee on —resolutions,which were adopted during the last session:“We recommendsthat the thanks ofSynodbeextendedtotheStatesville people for their kindness to us onthisoccasion.In this recommenda-tion we include our own .people andalsoourfriendsofthesisterdenom-inations who have generously aided in entertaining the delegates.WecommendthepastoroftheFirstchurchforhisuntiringeffortstomin- ister to the comfort of each delegate.We recommend that thanks of Synod be extended the Iredell Telephone Company for its kindmess in grant-ing us a telephone.We commend the press for its close attention to our sessions and accurate reports of our deliberations.and also the South-ern railway for its kindness in hold-ing the train to“aecommodate Syn- The Iredell Telephone Company in-stalled a telephone in the church par- lor for the use of the Synod and del- egates were invited to make free use of all the company’s lines,includingthetolllines.The mail of the del- egates was handled from the church parlor by Mr.Horace Stikeleather,who also looked after telephone calls.Moderator Simpson places a spe- cial value on the gavel presented tohimbytheretiringmoderator,Rey. J.H.Pressly of Statesville,because of its historic interest,and alsoprizesitbecauseofitsconnectiontoRev.William Blackstock,for whom one of Mr.Simpson’s deceased broth- ers was named.As has been stated, the gavel was cut from a block saw- ed froma log taken from the ruins of terian church erected at New Stir- ling more than 150 years ago,the same being the first Associate Re- formed church built in this section. The church was built under the per- sonal direction of Rev.Mr.Black- stock,who was a pioneer minister of the Scotch Presbyterian Church and for years served Stirling and other churches in this section of the coun- try.Rev.and Mrs.Blackstock were buried in the woods about a mile north of the present church at New Stirling and their graves are mark- ed with soapstone markers. Among the older members of the Synod attending the med¢ting,here were five members of the class of 1871 at Erskine College,all five of whom eraduated from the Theologi cil Seminary two years later and were licensed to preach during the same year.These venerable “Sol diers of the Cross”who have seen 40 years of service in the ministry are Dr.F.Y.Pressly,now presi- dent of the Theological Seminary; Dr.G.R.White of Ebenezer church in Mecklenburg,Dr.R.G.Miller of Sardis,Dr.J.C.Galloway of Gasto- nia and Rev J.S.Mills of Black- stock,S.C.-All are still very active dinSynodMr.J.G.Shelton gave a ner party to the old classmates and the occasjon was an exceedingly en- joyable one. The Pressly family has certainly done its part toward furnishing the Associate Reformed Church with able workers and that there is a shortage of ministers in the Church is na fault of this family.Probably there is not another family in the country which has furnished its denomina tion with so many ministers.There are eleven of them on the rolls of Synod and all except one,who is in Mexico,attended the Statesville meeting.While all are closely distantly related to Rev.J.H.Pre ly of Statesville,two of those pres- ent!were his brothers,namely,Rev. Paul A.Pressly of Louisville,Ga.. and Rey.J.L.Pressly of Alabama.Two Pressly elders also attended the Statesville meeting. o Unusual Things Mr.Anderson Saw.

Don’t know about that.He may start some anti-trust suits here in North Carolina,teeae The Supreme Court side-stepped the issue of the validity of service of summons in civil cases over the tele- phone in J.T.Ballard vs.Sheriff R. J.Lowery of Anson county.Counsel had intended to procure from the court a ruling on this entirely new issue but the court passed the case off the docket on another issue with the comment as to telephone service that it appeared on the face of the record that the service was legal and the issue could only be raised through a motion in this case to set it aside.NE This from the Winston Republican: “A Rutherford county grand jury has recommended the purchase’of bloodhounds to assist in running down fugitives.Editors Reese of the Greensboro Record and Clark of the Statesville Landmark will have oc- casion to Sit up and take notice of these ‘strange doings.’”It goes without saying that that grand jury must have been composed of men who don’t read the newspapers.If its members were informed they@would know that.numerous experiments have demonstrated that.the blood- hound for chasing criminals is a fake.aaaa “The North Carolina National Guard is in readiness and prepared to move on short notice,”says Adjutant General Young,anent the possibility of war with Mexico.Conditions may have changed some in .the Guard since the Spanish-American war. When the call came for troops in the spring of 1898,a great number of people who had been sporting fancy uniforms and brass buttons and were much in evidence on display occas- ions,lost interest in soldiery.They got out of the ranks _s9 rapidly that in some places the companies were left with few-men in them.Recruits were_reidily secured,however,and _~Pinks were filled with men who had never played holiday soldier. It is very probable that if a call should come for duty in Mexico there would be found,as in 1898, some in the ranks who would serious- ly object to going to the front.a) Some of the State papers that are glorving over the deteat of Tammany and calling the organization all sorts of bad names,have evidently forgot- ten that Tammany has been sponge- holder for Colone?Br¥an®since he first ran for President.The Tam- many organization always held New York in line for the colonel’s nomina- tion.Tammany may not have been sincere in its support of Colonel Bry- an,but it has alwaya~backed him.— Charlotte Observes -Tammany’s attitude toward Bry- an or anvbody would not change The Landmark's opinion,of Tammany nor curtail the expression of it;and Col. Bryan's opinion of Tammany was clearly smanifest at the Baltimore convention,The thing that inter- ests The Landmark about the Tam- many defeat just now,however,1s the attitude of some of the-Tammany sympathizers.There are many amateur’Tammany:organizations in the country,North Carolina being well ‘supplied.pathizers would be outspoken for Tammany and hostile to the.wig- wam’s critics,but many of them have had to squelch their natural feeling because they are holding office under the Federal administration and ex- pressions of sympathy for Tammany might not be politic on the part of a Federal officeholder. The Monument to the ‘Women of the Confederacy. Secretary R.D.W.Connor,of the commission for the erection of the monument to North Carolina Women of the Confederacy,given to the State by the late Ashley Horne,an- nounces that he and President J.A. Long of the commission,have ap-proved the model for the bronze fig-ure that is to be the principal fea- ture of the monument and that it will be sent at once to the foundry for the casting of the bronze.figure. This is an idealized figure of a woman of the Confederacy with a grandson at her knee listening to the narra- tion of the glorious deeds-of the men of the Confederacy.The monument is to be ready for unveiling next spring and it is probable that Presi- dent Wilson can arrange a date onwhichhecandelivertheprincipal addres#for this ceremony.

With an output valued at ‘more than $625,000,000,the cotton mill in- dustry in 1909 among the industriesoftheUnitedStatesrankedthirdin the number of persons employed and seventh in the value of goods pro- duced.The figures for that year have been made public by the cen- sus bureau.‘A striking feature of the report was the discovery that the increase in manufacturing was much greater in the Southern States than in the North. “The industry is confined almostentirelytotheStateseastoftheMis- sissippi,”says the report.“From territory west of that river only 20establishmentshavebeenreported. Massachusetts is the most important State,North Carolina ranked second, South Carolina third and Rhode Isl- and fourth.Georgia,Pennsylvania, New Hampshire,Connceticut and Al- abama,in the order named,were the States next in rank.In general the per centages of increase in the lead- ing Sbvuthern cotton’manufacturing States were greater than those in the Northern States.” In*three States,Alabama,South and North Carolina,the report sets forth,nearly 19 per cent.of all em- ployes in the mills were children un- der 16 years of age.In Massachu- setts,New Hampshire and Rhode Ist and,however,it was found that the proportion of women employed in the mills was much greater than in the Sonth. About 700 Guests to Be at WilsonWedding. Washington Dispatch. Now that the invitations to the wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson and Francis Bowes Sayre have been is- sued and accepted,the fact becomes apparent that the company will be under,rather than over,the 700 orig- inally intended to be asked. Although the crest of the United States deeorates the invitation,whichisengravedintheordinaryscript withthe name of the recipient written in ink,this wedding will be very strictly a family affair plus the rep- resentatived of the.30-odd forcign nations maintaining diplomatic rela-tions with the United States and the members of the United States Su- preme Court,with the.ladies’ofgtheir respective families.The Vice Presi- dent-and Mrs.Marshall will,of course,be.there,as will the esbinet officersandtheirwives,but the Vice Presi- dent and the cabinet officers are al- ways reckoned as the:official family of the Chief Executive. There will be surprisingly fewmembersofCongresspresentandascantrepresentationfromWashing- ton’s resident circle.The reason for the absence é6f the social world of the capital is easily found,as Miss Jes- sie Wilson has spent little time in Washington and even when at the White House accepted few invita- tions.

O.Steele and Dorman Thompson of Statesville.Prof.Zehm,who is a master of the pipe organ,rendered an excellent programme of a dozen se~ lections which put into use everypipe,coupler and combination of theneworganandbroughtforthbeauti- ful music.The vocal selections by Mesdames Steele,Duke and Thomp- son were pleasing features of the re cital.Yesterday afternoon Prof.Zehm inspected and tested the organ in the presence of the trustees and pastor of the church and the organ erector, Mr.V.D.Daley,before it was ac- cepted by the church. Tammany °“Bagman”Indict One of the many charges brought against the Tammany crowd in New York was that they had “sandbag- ged”highway contractors in New York State into contributing to the campaign fund.Investigation of this charge has resulted in the indictment of Everett P.®owler of Kingston,N. Y.,described as the Tammany “bag- man,”for extortion.He is accused of forcing Seneca P.Hull,a highway contractor of Cortlandt,N.Y.,and a Republican,to give $250 as a Demo- ctatic campaign contribution under threat that the work on Hull's $23,500 State road confract would not be ap- proved ‘by the State highway inspec- tors and that his pay.would be held up. Mexican Situation Unchanged. That the United States in its policy against the provisional government in Mexico is content to await the out- come of the steady pressure being ex- erted to bring about the downfall of the Huerta regime,is the news from Washington.The news from Mexico is that Huerta will hold on.He says so himself.Last week Manuel Adalpe,the minister of the interior, resigned by request because he had been active in urging Huerta to ac-cept the proposals of the United States.

Ace THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,--.-November 18,1913. COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS It would be worth the price of ad- mission if Judge Clark and Gov. Craig would hire a hall and have a joint discussion,the question at is- sue being whether it is $10,000,000 a ear or $4,000,000 a year the people is been losing bp the unjust freight rates;and whether lobbyists defeated measures of relief at the ex- tra session, ** The Greensboro News admits that the decapitation of Holton,Logan et al will have no effect in North Car- olina;that they can’t nag oe mar- tyr role at home.But it Thinks that afar off——in close States—they may be regarded as martyrs to the ad- ministration’s hurt.Removing Re- publican officeholders in North Caro- lina will hardly become a national is- sue.**#* Unless there is a mighty thinning of the ranks,there will be a full crop of gubernatorial candidates in 1916.Hon.John D,Bellamy.of Wil- mington tells the Lumberton Robe- sonian that “it is too early to get in the race,but that he probably will be a candidate;that he has received many flattering offers of support,en- tirely unsolicited,from all parts of the State.”It has,been understood for some time that Attorney General Bickett and Mr.A.M,McLean of Lumberton would be in the.race. Lieut.Gov.Daughtridge has an- nounced his candidacy and there may be others. + Gov.Patterson of Tennessee,who was retently converted from a rank anti-prohibitionist to a ranker prohi- titionist,is losing no opportunity to proclaim his new faith.He was one |of the most prominent speakers at that national Anti-Saloon League Convention at Columbus,0.,last week,and ut cvery opportunity he seeks to show that his former ‘atti- tude was wrong.The Landmark isn’t questioning the ex-Governor’s sincerity.It is glad,if he has seen the error of his way,that he has the courage to proclaim it from the housetops.But we hope the prohibi- tionists won't offer him as a candi- date for office for a season—until he has had full time to show his faith by his works. *-* Glory to the people of Wilkesboro, and may their tribe increase.A few years ago Congress appropriated $58000 for a Federal building at Wilkesboro,which is to provide a Federal court room and quarters for the postoffice.Plans have not been made for the building,the supervising architect holding that the sum ap- priated isn’t sufficient for the uilding and that the appropriation should be increased.Wonderful to relate,the Wilkesboro folks,being plain and honest,are content with the amount and want the building to go up.They know that considering the size of the town and the purpose of the buildings,$58,000 will erect a structure large enough and good enough for the government's needs. They have so told Congressman Page and he has refused to ask for more money.This course is so contrary to custom that when the building is completed a tablet should be placedinitwithsuitableinscriptioncom- mending the honesty of the Wilkes- boro people.When or where,in the history of the country,has another community refused to raid the Feder- al Treasury when so good an oppor- tunity offered?Usually when a pub- lic building is -to be erected—and scores are erected where there is no necessity for them—there is no end to the demand for money for it.Iftheappropriationis$75,000 or $100,- 000,double the amount is asked.If a half million is given they try to get a million.The actual need is| not consider#éd.There may not be unother public building in the place that cost one-tenth -the-amount,or any prospect that the government's business will ever justify the expen- diture proposed,but that doesn’t-edunt,They want the government to*epends the money just for the “big of the-thing.”.No matter how much money is wasted,the community get- ting the building thinks it’s all right; it comes off the government.They give no thought to,the fact that the money comes out of the pockets of the people.~In the face of this cus- tom of graft,the Wilkesboro folks have set an example that does them infinite credit. 7 State Senator Geo.Studdert of Washington (N.C.),a native of Ire- land,wants to be consul general at Dublin,Ireland,and as a matter of courtesy he was unanimously endors- ed for the position by his fellow members of the Legislature at the recent session.Senator Studdert was in Washington recently look- ing after the appointment,but got little encouragement.He found that the consular service is under the civ- il service and that appointment to the large offices,like that at Dublin, is open only through promotion from smaller offices.The matter of pass- ing the civil service which requires that the applicant speak three lan- _uages can be “arranged,”but,the rule requiring appointment to —this office only through promotion will shut Studdert out unless the untsualhappens.Speaking of his desire for the appointment,Senator Studdert said: “I was born in Ireland and would_Nike to live a couple of years near the scene of my old home,now that I am getting along in years.I havebeen.elected to severaloffices,among them mayor of Washington several times,and State Senator,but neverhavehadtoaskforanofficethrough intment.For many years I have*hought that when the Democrats gotntoofficetherewouldbejustoneyffice1wouldliketohaveandthatistheoneIamupheretotryfornow,Asan American citizen I wouldiketoreturntooldIrelandforagoupleofyears.I was married in‘900 to a Miss Davis of Asheville-and have seven chidren.1.would ** and being not over-burdened with this world’s goods,this looks like a goodopportunity.”:‘That is a natural desire,and fromthestandpointofsentimentmostanyofuswouldharborlikefeelingsand would sympathize with them in oth- ers.But coming down to cold-blood-ed business,Senator Studdert wants this job,according to his own state-ment,to make a visit to his oldhome.to take his wife and childrenthereandspendawhile.He doesn’t feel able to do this at his own ex~- pense and would like to do so at pub-lic expense.The efficiency of —the public service,what he can do to promote the public interest as con- sul at Dublin,is not mentioned.It is all overshadowed in giving a native- born Irishman a trip to the “ould sod.”There are thousands of for- eign-born citizens,Democrats,and citizens whose forbears came from the old country,who would like the arrangement Senator Studdert ‘says he wants.But all can’t be uccom- modated and it’s the government’s business to look out for efficiency first.It may be that Senator Stud- dert is entirely capable of filling the position he seeks.[fhe is The Landmark would be glad to see him have it.But this paper is simply pointing out that,according to the statement made,he seems to be seek- ing the office more.as a matter of sentiment than otherwise.But real- ly Senator Studdert’s is not an \iso- lated case..The great majority of people who ask for jobs in the pub- lic service think only of the salary, the convenience of the position and the honor.Promoting the public welfare is not considered.It’s all a personal matter, **-* Cleve Daniels.a negro,is under sentence of death at Durham,the Su- preme Court having affirmed the judgment of the lower court.Daniels killed a negro naméd Dunnegan.As soon as the Supreme Court rendered its decision petitions were put.in circulation,says a Durham news dis- patch,“asking Gov.Craig to com- mute the sentence to life imprison- ment.Almost all of the negroes aad a large number of white people are signing the petition and efforts will be made to get the signatures of the judge,solicitor and county officials. The extenuating circumstances sur- rounding Daniels’offense and on which the commutation will be ask- ed were that Daniels was intoxicated from cocaine and whiskey and that he was absolutely irresponsible for his act.He and Dunnegan engased in a quarrel!in a negro section of the city,in the course of which he whip- ped out a revolver and shot Dunne- gan.The provocation was not suf- ficient,it is pleaded,to cause a per- son in control of his mental faculties to do murder.” Daniels would probably escape if he was a white man of influence,and as The Landmark believes in «qual justice for all men it has no purnose to offer objection to the commutation. But it has printed the above to call attention to the reasons offered for the commutation.The sole reason is that the negro was drank on liquor and cocaine.Since the dawn of time men have offered drunkenness a6 an excuse for evil conduct and it is amazing how large a portion of the population regard the excuse as legit- imate.Drunkenness,from the ex- éessive use of liquor or drugs,or what not,is not and never was a valid ex- cuse,legal or moral,for misconduct or crime.But the man would not have done so had he been sober,you say.True in most cases,but that doesn’t help him.He voluntarily got drunk.He knew,doubtless from past experience,what effect the liquor or cocaine would have on him; that he would be crazed and might kill his best friend or a member of his family.Yet again and again, with this foreknowledge,you have, seen men put themselves in this con- dition,path ceShor the lives of others and finally commit crime;and then the whimpering cowards,brave (7?) enough to do -murder when filled with liquor or cocaine,begin to ‘beg for mercy on the plea that they were drunk—-they wouldn’t have done it if they hadn’t been drunk.-Out on suchcontemptiblecawardice!The -maawhowilfullygetsdrunk—puts him- self in.condition to,commit’crime— ‘has no just claim on the plea of “ex- tenuating circumstance.”In fact the drunkenness might in some cases at least be rightfully considered -malice and premeditation,for all of us have Known men who would do and say mean things when they were drunk— who would take advantage of their condition,expecting to be excused on account of it,to do things they hadn’t the courage to do when sober.For these reasons the courts have.held— our own State Supreme Court has held more than once—that drunken- ness is not an excuse for crime.The man who runs at large,filled with liquor,cocaine or anything that makeshimamenacetoothers,deserves about as much consideration as a mad dog and no more. TLLIT Our Soldiers Eager to Go to Mexico, Says Adjutant General. Speaking of impending war with Mexico,Adjt.Gen.Lawrence W. Young,of the North Carolina Nation- al Guard,said last.week that he had letters and telegrams from practical- ly all of the companies constituting the North Carolina Guard,to the ef-fect that they are ready and,indeed, eager to go into the service for a campaign against Mexico.if hostili- ties should be declared.

Intervention would mean peace,but at a tremendous price. A great military authority of the United States estimates that inter- vention,to be effective,would re- quire two years of time,the em- ployment of a half million men,the expenditure of $1,000,000 a day inMexico.That is the job that the rough and ready citizen who is so ready to denounce the peaceful ‘poli- cy of the administration,is hanker- ing for.‘ One or two mouthy members of Congress have made assertion that a few thousand American troops,a few gun-boats,could make a march for the capture of Mexicq City,could blockade the ports,and could end the war within eight weeks. That probably would be true,if there were a war or the need of one.“in not much longer time of actual operation a few thousand American troops did that trick in the forties.However,they were engaged in a sort’of international duel for a specific prize.Interven- tion in the present circumstances would be,on the other hand,the assumption of all the troubles,jeal- ousies,disturbances in a large coun- try,which have accrued through practically four years of anarchy. The “taking”of this and that city, the blockading of this and that port would be but a circumstance to the undertaking.There is much talk of “protection of American interests.” Already everything that could be legitimately done has been done to protect them.In the absence of the desire for conquest,the demand for intervention which they insist upon resolves itself-into a piece of economic foolishness,consisting of the sacrifice 6f many times the val- ue of the property involved,with the added expenditure of thousands of American lives,where value is incomputable.cceeennneneenanSERENA Rural Race Segregation to Be Con- sidered. The executive committee f the North Carolina -committee rural race problems is called by President Clarence Poe to meet in Shelby next month,at the same time that the State Farmers’Union meets there. Mr.Poe says he never knew a new idea to grow faster than this idea of setting aside some rural neighbor- hoods exclusively for white owner- ship.“Please note,”said Mr.Poe, “that voluntary white segregation by people who want it is rather dif- ferent from compulsory segregation of negroes by people who don’t want it.Some people are constantly con- founding one with the other.”Great headway was made,Mr. Poe-says, during the last Legislature.‘TheHouseofRepreseritatives,composed chiefly of farmers,almost unanimous- ly voted for a special commission to investigate the ‘stibject and suggest needed legislation to the’General As- sembly,and while opposition,chiefly of city lawyers,defeated the measure in the Senate by two votes,the ma- jority of the farmers are in earnest and will push the plan to success sooner or later. oO of The Man Who Walked and Saved His :Mule.

The Wilkesboro Federal Building. Washington Dispatch to Asheville Citizen. F.B.Hendren,an attorney of Wilkesboro,was here a few days ago and called on Representative Page and Supervising Architect Wenderoth in an effort to have the Treasury De- pagtment begin the,preparation of ylans at once (for the Federal build- ing at Wilkesboro).The supervisingarchjtect’s office is holding the mat-ter up on the ground that the appro- priation of $58,000 is insufficient to build a structure to house the Feder- al court and postoffice.Mr.Page was oe by the architect to secure a larger appropriation.After con- sultation with the people of Wilkes- boro he refused to ask for a larger appropriation and advised Mr.Wen- deroth that “he must cut the cloth to fit the garment.” Wilkesboro is a fourth-class post- office with a population of between 700 and 800,and the people believe that $58,000 is enough to construct a building to suit a town of that size. Mr.Hendren was able to accomplish nothing in the way of an agreement with the supervising architect and the matter is still up to Page,who will again urge Wenderoth to proceed with the funds available.

Farm by farm,as we go on down the creek,tells the same story,with tons upon tons of hay to boot.On reclaimed lands will be three or four times as great as the drainage as- sessment.Before these drainage dis- tricts were organized much of this land was bought at $10 per acre.The price ran anywhere from $10 to $50 per acre.Now the price is from $40 to $200 per acre.Very little of it is on the market at any price. From a financial standpoint,there is no question about the dredging of the overflowed iowlands being a good investment.But that is not all, nor is it even the most important of the benefits received.It has al- ready saved many lives and what is the Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign. Churches,schools,labor unions, fraternal orders and other organiza- tions,to the number of 200,000 atleastarebeingaskedtojointheanti-tuberculosis workers of the country in the observance of the Fourth Na- tional Tuberculosis Day,which has been set for December 7th. While for the sake of convenienceDecember7thhasbeendesignatedas Tuberculosis Day,the National As- sociation and all the other anti-tuber- culosis organizations are urging that the subject of tuberculosis be present- ed in the churches either on that day, or on any other day during the week before or following December 7th that may be convenient. That tuberculosis is a serious prob- lem among church congregations is evidenced by statistics gathered bytheNationalAssociation,which show that 10 per cent of all deaths among church members are caused by tu- berculosis.Based on these figuresandonthemortalitystatisticsofthe census bureau,over 60,000 of the 40,- 000,000 communicants in churches intheUnitedStatesdiefromtubercu- losis every year.This figure assumes that the death rate of 1.60 per 1,- 000 population in the registrationareaappliestoallchurch-goers, when,as.a matter of fact,the rate would probably be higher if the en- tire country were included. Last year over 60,000 churches gave attention to this subject onTuberculosisDay.It is hoped this year to swell the number of churches to 100,000 and to urge similar action besides in a large number of the schools and other societies.The Tu- berculosis Day campaign will céme this year during the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale.While the Tu- berculosis Day movement is strictlyeducationalandnotforthepurpose of raising money,the churches of the country are urged to co-operate in the Red Cross Seal campaign. Drainage Convention in Charlotte Today and Tomorrow. There will be held at Charlotte to- day and tomorrow the sixth annual convention of the North Carolina Drainage Association.Since the or- ganization of this association in 1909 and the passage of the general drain- age act of the State,about 70 drain- age districts have been started.Of Fourth creek L.B.Bristol estimates |these 41 have been completed,repre-his corn at 40 to 75 bushels per acre,|5emting area of 417,900 acres”ofW.F.Hall will make from 40 to 90/SWamp land.About 60,000 acres are bushels per acre.The corn and hay now being drained and 91,000 acrescropsonFourthcreekthisyearwillpetitionedfor,covering 23 counties be sufficient to pay the cost of dredg-|9f the coastal plain region.Drain- ing.age districts have been organized in The enhanced valuation of these}Piedmont and western North Caro-lina in 16 counties,representing a total area of 52,471 acres of overflow- ed land.From data which has been collected it appears that the drainage of these lands has enormously in- creased their agricultural value and the money value of these lands has increased from $10 to $150 per acre, with an estimated average value of $65.This will give an aggregate in- crease of land values for those areas, many of which before draining yield- ed no returns whatever,of $40,000,- 000;and increases the general health- fulness of these sections from 75 percentto100percent. At this convention there will be ad- a life worth in dollars and cents?

Crawford of Haywood county is a distinct loss to »the State.Reared in obscurity and poverty,by his own efforts he attained distinction and yendered faithful service to his State.He was an able man and a good man.Before his election to Congress in 1890 he had served in the State Legislature—1885-87.His Congress with Rich- mond Pearson in the Asheville dis- trict attracted the attention of the State,He defeated Pearson in 1898 but was unseated by,a Republican Congress.To those who knew Mr. Crawford’s physical condition the news of his death was rot a surprise.

Increased Prosperity is a Cause For Additional Thanksgiving. Correspondence of ‘The Landmark,| When the world was younger and times weré harder,people had bet- ter appreciation of the good things that came to them.Progress,mod- ern invention,and better enlighten- ment along certain lines have in- creased the number of bright days and shortened those of suffering,but good times in the old days were not taken so much as a matter of fact and people at certain times made it a practice to render thanks for the good things that came their way. Then it was no mere perfunctory observance.Thanksgiving was a term that.had real significance. The day is almost here ‘which the almanac tells us is the time for ob- servance of the annual proclamation calling for a day of thanksgiving. As is usual,certain games,certain annual hunting parties,and certain other plans for pleasure,not to omit the hapless turkey,have been long looked forward to in keen anticipa- tion by tens of thousands of us in connection with that date,but how many will remember the real signif- ieance of the institution of thanks- giving?How many of us have pre- served the original spirit that prompts the observance and how many of us are preparing to make real expres- sion of thnaks on Thanksgiving day? The usual pleastres are natural re- sults of a year of prosperity,but that is not all.Every man who has.pros- pered and is conscientious in his in- tentions to properly ‘observe the oc- casion can’t well do so without ex- pression of sympathy for the unfor- tunate and the numberless needy. These classes are found under many circumstances and,this year of all years,when prosperity has been al- most rampant,they ought ‘to re- ceive a much increased material sup- port.The orphanages of the State, these institutions that exist for the sole object of fathering the homeless children,that fit them for the higher duties of life,ought to find as tender spots in the hearts of the prosperous public as any cause,It ts good to contemplate how many children are sent out in life from them well equip- ped to meet the exigencies,but it is sad to contemplate how many of them might have been derelicts if they had not been well cared for and shelter- ed in their more tender years. No cause is more appealing and it is to be hoped that more people will mingle a little of the spirit of giving with the spirit of thanksgiving and make Thanksgiving worthy of its name.— Cement and Concrete. The Outlook. Many people are hazy in their ideas of the words cement and concrete. The following explanation from World’s Work is primary,but clear and infonmative: “In the first place,Portland cement is a manufactured product obtained from lime rock and clay,or similar aluminous raw materials.Its prep- aration involves drying,burning and grinding in order that,when finish- ed,it shall be in the form of a light- gray powder or flour.This powder is of such exceeding fineness that the grains thereof may be made to pass through a sieve containing 40,000 holes to the square inch of surface. “Modeled into any desirable form, "TEMS OF ALL SORTS.~ The final estimate of loss of life and property on account.of the re- cent storm on the Great Lakes is 256 lives and $5,000,000 of property.

Less Than Last Year But Worth More Money—Government.Report on Other Crops. This year’s corn crop promises to. be the most:valuable this or any oth-er nation ever has produced, al-H}ithough the National Department of: Agriculture’s preliminary estimate of’ production,issued Monday,indicatesitwillbemorethanhalfamillionbushelslessin:size than the recordcropoflastyearandthesmallest since’1903.Based on the department’s figures of 70.7 cents per:bushel,the average farm value on November 1, the crop,as now estimated,is worth $1,741,353,019,while the value of the 1912 record crop was $1,520,454,000. The previous most valuable crop was that of 1909 when it was worth $1,- 652,822,000.FThedepartment’s preliminary es-timate of production Monday increas- ed by 90,000,000 bushels the estimatemadeinOctoberandalsothatmadeinSeptember.This was taken to in- dicate that the damage from the very severe drought in the Middle West was somewhat overestimated. The greatest damage from the drought is indicated in the figures for Kansas,which show the acre yield there to have been reduced to 3.2bushelscomparedwith23bushelslast year,in Missouri,where the yield was17,5 bushels compared with last year’s 32 bushels and in Oklahoma where it was 11 bushels against 18.7 last year. In Illinois the yield was 13 bushels below last year’s yield,in Iowa 9 bushels,in Nebraska 9 bushels,in Indiana 3.7 bushels;and Ohio 6.2 bushels.

STATE NEWS. Driving an automobile between Tryon and Lynn,Polk county,Ralph Carson,the colored chauffeur,was crushed to death when the machine crushed into a tree. The Enterprise says that R.M. Saunders,formerly a resident of Mooresville,for six years past a resi- jdent ‘of Henderson,is now chief of police of that town.Saunders lived in Statesville for a time,12 years ago,and was on the police force here ifor a short time, }The.steamer ©.W.Lfon,en routeifromFayettevilletoWilmington,was |burned Friday morning at 11 o’clock, on the Cape Fear river,20 miles from Wilmington.The fire originated in a cargo of cotton.Passengers andcrewjumpedintotheriverandall got to shore“except the mate,Henry W.Edge of Fayetteville,who was drowned.One lady passenger could not swim but she was rescued by the captain.Loss on vessel and cargo estimated at $30,000,partially cover- ed by insurance.a That Gertrude Hoffmann and chorus of seantily - her attired dancers present a show that is “vulgar,im- moral,indecent and obscene,”is the the performance and report to the Ministerial Association of Greens- boro,wherefore the Ministerial Asso- ciation and other citizens demand that Greensboro municipal authori-ties prohibit shows of like character. The Hoffmann aggregation exhibited in Greensboro and Charlotte. Driving home from Monroe after dark,Robt.Gordon,a Union county farmer,was held up by a negro high- wayman,who demanded his money. Fortunately Mr.Gordon had his “wad”apportioned in different pock- ets.In one he had about.$15,in the other about $100.While facing the pistol in the negro’s.hands he had sufficient presence of mind to pass over the smaller amount,and as the highwayman seemed satisfied Mr. Gordon didn’t mention that he had more,and the incident was closed. eNOERED Declare War on Colds.

Continuing the Governor says:.“Analtruisticawakeninghasquickened the conscience of our time,it has commanded the men in high places to nobler conceptions of public duty,andinspiredthepeoplewiththehopeand determination for advancement.” After calling on all the people to do no work on Thanksgiving Day and make it a day of rest,of rejoicing and in reality a day of thanksgiving,the Governor says:“I éarnestly hopethatthedaywillbe,fully observed by the farmers,mechanics,manufac- turers and by the men,women andchildreninallranksandoccupations.I call upon the people to assemble in their places of worship that they may in reverence express to the Al- mighty their gratitude and faith, that human sympathies may be en- larged and the bonds of brotherhood acknowledged and strengthened.Letusremember=the poor and unfortu- nate,and realize that it is more bless- ed to give than to receive.We are heirs of a precious heritage and let us hope and strive that in this Com- monwealth righteousness may be exalted and that to all men may come a full measure of justice,which is grander than benevolence and more august than cKarity.”— Tried Suicide But Got Water Instead of Carbolic Acid. Ernest D.Mills,a young white man who said Leaksville was his home,visited Fuquay Springs,Wakecounty,while very much under the influence of the ardent,and asked.a druggist for carbolic acid.The ac- commodating druggist furnished what he thought was the correct stuff and Mills drank it.Then a>large crowd gathered around the man whom they believed to be dying and listened in awed silence as he gave minute instructions for the disposi- tion.of his body,which was to be shipped to his mother in Leaksville. A local physician worked over pros- trate man for hours,Then a test was made of the liquid he drank and it was féund to be nothing \but water, which had been placed away in a earbolic acid bottle. Instead of kicking Mills or the druggist,or both,for putting up a job on them,the good natured Fuquay Springs people paid Mills’ transportation to Leaksville and sent a man along with -him.

Representative McKellar of Ten- nessee introduced a resolution.in Con- gress to make unlawful any inter- State shipments of meats,butter, eggs and other perishable food-stuffs after being kept in storage more than 90 days. Fresh eggs—or eggs guaranteed to be not more than 24 hours old—sold for 75 cents a dozen in Philadelphia last week and simular prices were charged in other Northern markets. The high price is said to be due to the fact that millions of dozens of egys are held in cold storage. Ten vessels and 167 lives were lost in the storm that enveloped the Great Lakes from Sunday of last week un- til Tuesday,according to the compil- ation of reports received from vari-ous ports on the lakes.In addition 21 other vessels were partially or wholly destroyed,their crews escap- ing.

Sentence of a fortnight in prison for staring at a policeman was im- posed on a business man of Breslau, Germany,a few days ago.In his de- fense the defendant said he believed the policeman was observing him too conspicuously,so he stared back. he court in pronouncing judgment said the defendant had been guilty of “a most serious insult to an official.” tunning 40 miles an hour,a San- ta Fe train carr many passen- gers ran’through an open switch in Joliet,TL,Thursday,but outside of light injuries to the engineer when the engine plunged 30 feet to the street below,no one was hurt.The first coach alighted on top of the en- gine and_retained its balance.Offi- cials pronounced it the strangest wreck in the road's history. The Southern States Woman Suf- ‘rage Conference was organized at New Orleans last week and Mis Kate M,Gordon of that city was elected president.The list of offi cers include women from Louisiana, Kentucky,Arkansas,Maryland,Tex- as and Oklahoma.The purpose is to seek votes for women through State legislation rather than by amend ment of.the Federal Constitutior Four unions,acting in concert,in- strike on the Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific rail- road,known as the Sunset lines,at 7 o'clock Thursday night.Approxi rom ‘I are af points tors,firemen and trainm Paso,Texas,to New Orleans, fected.Reports from division | inditate a general compliance with the strike order.The walkout culmt- nated negotiations of more than #ix months which failed to bring about an’amicable adjustment.of encc 8. A miniature naval battle was fought under the shadow of Brook- lyn bridge,New York city,one night last week,when detectives conceal- ed aboard barges and policemen in launches exchanged shots with armed river pirates.Four detectives were injured,three pirates were captured and three motor boats loaded with stolen coffee were reeovered.Watch had been set because the New YorkDockCompanycomplainedthatcof- fee valued at more than $2,500 had been stolen in two nights from its barges in the East river. The largest hydro-electric plant in the South,representing an expendi- ture of $10,000,000,was started in operation last week at Hales’Bar on the Tenriessee river,33 miles south of Chattanooga.Work on the im- mense lock and dam was started seven years ago and recently completed un- der the supervision of government officials.It is claimed that in addi-tion to having’a capacity of generat- ing more than 65,000 horsepower of hydro-electrical current,the lock anddamsystemwillimprovenavigation facilities on the river. differ President Wilson announces that he will read his first annual message to Congress,which convenes in regular session December ist.The President thus far has read “three brief ad-dresses—on tariff,currency and theMexicanaffairs.He told inquirers last week that he had just begun work on annual message.He ‘in-dicated that no such long and_vol- uminous messages as.have hereto- fore been sent by Presidents to Con- gress will be prepared by him.It isconsiderediikelythathewilldealbrieflywiththechiefsubjectsuponwhichhebelievesCongressshould act at the regular session.

The Civil Service Commission an- nounces that examinations will be held within the next 30 days for the positions of fourth-class postmasters in the States of Florida,New Mexi- co,Virginia,North Carolina,Ver- mont and New Hampshire.In this connection a statement issued by the Postoffice Department said: “This order (President Wilson’s or- der of May 7)removed the cloak of civil service protection from a large body of fourth-class postmasters who had been blanketed into the classified service by President Taft and direct- ed that these positions be thrown opeh to civil service competition.The examinations will be open to the present postmasters of these offices as well as to any other persons who desire to compete. “Postmaster General Burleson states that he desires it distinctly un- derstood that it is his purpose to car- ry out the intent of*President Wil- son’s order that these positions be filled in accordance with both the spirit and letter of the civil service law.He added that he does not dele- gate the power of appointment nor in any case is selection to be made simply upon or because of a recom- mendation of a member of Congress. He stated further that he has a duty to perform in making selections un- der the civil service rules;that it is his desire to select in every case the most efficient man obtainable;and that in furtherance of such desire he is using and intends to use every available means of ascertaining the best of the men certified to him by -the Civil Service Commission,and further,he has directed that all let- ters recommending appointments be returned to the writers. “The Postmaster General states that he is in earnest in his efforts to obtain the best men,regardless of their political opinions,and when- ever he finds in any case that he has been misled because of recommenda- tions made for political reasons,the fourth-class postmaster or rural!car- rier so appointed will be promptly removed from office.” President Taft Foreign Affairs. Asserting that the Japanese gov- ernment had faithfully lived up to its treaty obligations by keeping its coolie Jabor from American shores, former President Taft,in an address before the National Geographic So— ciety in Washington,declared that the United States government must keepfaithwithJapanbynotdiscriminat- ing against its people.“And,”he said,“no matter what the reckless and unjust aets of thoughtless people in California or elsewhere may be, they should be restrained.” Before a distinguished gathering scientists and government officials, the former President scouted probability of war between Japan and the United States,saying it was the last thing the statesmen of Japan desired.“All we have to do to avoid other than business rivalry,”he de- clared,“is to treat them as we would wish to be treated.” Speaking of the Philippine prob-lem,Mr.Taft declared it would take at least two generations for the Fili- pinos to become fitted for self-gov- ernment and said that for the Ameri- can government to promise within any definite time to give them inde- pendence was “very foolish.” “We shall make a serious mistake, he said,“if we follow the eloquence of the smooth-spoken Filipino poli- ticians,who are looking hungrily for Former Discusses of ” the exercise of a power which they| are ill-adapted to wield for the bene- fit of their own people.” Employes of the Census Bureau Must Cut Out the Booze.

They Had a Tilt At Dinner—Audience With Governor. Judge Clark and Gov.Craig hag a sort of joint debate at chenbek of commerce dinner in Greensboro Fri- day night.In,introducing Senator |LaFollette in Raleigh recently |Judge Clark took occasion to criticise |Gov.Craig for not following the ex- lample of President Wilson and inves-|tigating the “insidious lobby”which |the judge claimed’swarmed at Ral- leigh during the special session of ithe Legislature.Judge Clark,Gov.Craig and other igentlemen of prominence were guests lat the Greensboro feed.The judge |spoke early in the evening and re- ipeated the statement that the Legis- ‘lature took the advice of Senator Lodge,“Senator of the Boston and |Maine railroad,”and disregarded the ladvice of President Wilson and Sec- iretary Brvan.He praised President {Wilson this time for going after the \lobby in Washington and did not crit- icise Goverfior Craig for not doing \the same thing in Raleigh,though ihe left the inference. |It was nearly 11 o’clock when the Governor got the floor.After re- |viewing the work of the Legislature lin getting better,freight rates,hejtookupJudge—remarks.He ifirst challenged Judge Clark’s state- iment that the people of the State are |being robbed of $10,000,000 a year by ithe railroads,and said it was only jabout $4,000,000.Then he praised |the Legislature and said it had been }more responsive to the people than jany recent Assembly.He said it did inot adopt the initiative and referen- |dum because there ‘were more vital |questions pressing.He declared that \the lobby so often at Raleigh during sessions of the Legislature was noticeably absent this time,or,if there was one there,it certainly fail- ed to get what it came after.The Governor made a vigorous defense of himself and the Assembly,and ex- |pressed regret that the Chief Justice saw fit to criticise them. At the conclusion of the Governor’s speech,President Tate moved that by a rising vote the meeting express its thanks to Governor Craig,Repre- sentative Justice and Hon.A.L. Brooks for their work on behalf of |the State and show their confidence lin them.Judge Clark did not rise, but the other banqueters responded enthusiastically. |But Judge Clark didn’t let the ar- gument end at Greensboro.He went home and gave out a statement sto ithe newspapers in which he cites |statemertts to corroborate his declar- lation that the amount of tribute 'North Carolina is paying to the rail- roads is $10,000,000.As to the lobby ‘he says that “a few years ago when ithe Seaboard railrodd was being re- rganized and‘accounts of the feceiv- being passed upon,there was lan item of $5,000 paid to one lawyer, |\the voucher stating that this amount |was paid equally by three railroads. |The presiding judge asked how it was ithat the three great railroads should |have employed a lawyer jointly and lhe was told that it was ‘payment for a Greensboro Seemed to Be 160 days’lobbying’by that one man in |the Legislature of North Carolina.” Continuing Judge Clark says: |“The same party was present at the last special session and was as attentive to the members as usual.|This is but one of a large number of lobbyists whose faces and occupa- itions are as well recognized in Ral- leigh during the sessions as the mem- |bers of the Legislature.: |“The disease known as ‘lobbyitis’ |may be better described as ‘legisla- itive leprosy.’The railroads and al- ‘lied interests have no money except |what they receive or take from the ,people.Whatever is paid for lob- ibyists and for other illegal purposes |must come out of excessive rates. Thus we are beaten’over the head i our own stick. “Moreover there sat in |Legislature,as there has the in last every jone for many years past,men who], }were receiving daily a larger pay-|'|jment probably from the railroads jthan they were receiving from the |State.And a larger number who |drew their mileage from the State Treasury while having their transpor- |tation given them free by the rail-|roads, \that in this vital controversy between our people and the railroads theyjcandoimpartialjustice.There is an |6ld book in which one who spoke with authority said ‘no man can serve two masters.’These gentlemen will one and all deny that there is any impro-;priety in their conduct..If so thebesttestofwhattheyfeelisthat |they will have no nervousness what-ever in having this plain statementanandwillcheerfullygivetheir|names and the amounts they receivedfromtherailroads.”;|cteeneneeeeeeeeeee oe Weakness and Loss of AppetiteheOldStandardgeneralstrengtheni*~e >.to|GROVE STASTELESS chill TONIC,drives outMalariaandbuildsupthesystem.A true tonicandsureAppetizer.For adults and children,600, ] These gentlemen may think | Charges to Be Filed Against Mr. Hammer, Washington Dispatch,14th,to Ashe- ville Citizen.

DAMNABLE oe The Progressive Farmer is well within bounds when it \characterizes as “the most damnable \political ini- quity”.the system of assessing for taxation unimproved real \estate,held for speculation,at much less in pro- portion to its value than the improved real estate.That is to say,the im- proved real estate addsto \the value of the unimproved;that alone gives the unimproved property value.And vet the citizen who spends his mon- ey for improvements and thys adds to the value of the vacant property of his neighbor,is penalized \for so doing in that his improved prqperty, which has”added the “unearned.in- crement”to the unimproved,is\tax- ed more in proportion to value \than the unimproved.In almost |cyery community vacant property is held for speculative purposes-—for the jun- earned increment which the improye- ment and growth ®f the community add—and the owner,without spend- ing a dollar,receives.‘large profits from that which he has not earned, On the contrary,holding the proper~ ty for speculation often retards and\ hampers the growth of the commu- nity.But granting that the owner, has a right to hold the property,to do as he pleases with his own (which right is questioned when his course interferes with the ‘public good),no sort of excuse can be of- fered for allowing such property to escape its just portion of taxation, which it does in nearly every case. If the owner’is to get the unearned increment,the least that can be ask- ed of him is that he should pay taxes on the property in proportion to its value.It is indeed a “damnable in- iquity”that people who create wealth for others should bear an ad- ditional burden because they are up- building the community. Another iniquity equally as great, which The Landmark has.denounced again and again,is the custom plac- ing a higher proportionate value for taxation on cheap property than on property of greater value.The tax books of Iredell—and the same cus- tom exists in other counties—will show that,as a rule,the moge val- uable the property the less the as- sessment for taxation in proportion to value.For instance,property worth $1,000 or less will usually be assessed at 75 to 90 per cent of its value;property worth $5,000 will be assessed at 50 per cent or less,and the greater the value the less the as- sessment in proportion.A farm near Statesville which sold recently for about $50,000 was on the tax books for $12,500.We do not believe the assessors follow this rule with the avowed pur- pose of favoring the rich against thepoor;but that is the result,whatev- er their intention.They scale down as the value of the property in- creases simply .because the amount looks large.They do not realize-—or at least they do not practice it.if they do—that the citizen should pay taxes in proportion to what he has and that all should be on an equali- ty.Very often one hears a citizen who pays a few hundred dollars’tax- es boasting of what he pays as if he was almost the sole support of the government;and this class of citi- zens very often demand and receive special favors from the government on\the ground that they are heavy taxpayers and are entitled to con- sideration;and yet an actual show- POTEAT,JUSTICE,THOMPSON.

Reckoned as.mountain men count wealth,the two elder Allens were regarded as rich men.In the prop- erty held by the Commonwealth is the home of Sidna Allen,his fesi- dence alone being valued at $25,- 000.He had in addition to this a general merchandise store,choice live stock,including fine horses,a good mountain farm and_several thousand dollars’worth of farmingimplementsandgrain.His elder brother,Floyd,less prosperous than Sidna,was_yet/not without substan- tial property.The State confiscat- ed his home,his store and his livestock.

The long-drawn out fight over the Reidsville postmastcrship was ended, sO far as Senator Simmons is con- ecrned,when Mr.Simmons today an- nounced that he had decided to refuse to allow John T.Oliver to be named for the job.Senator.Simmons said he had read-all the editorials in theReidsvilleReview,which is edited by Oliver,and had concluded that he could not allow a man to be confirm-ed’by the Senate who had publishedarticlesreflectinguponbis”Democ-racy,if not his integrity,such asthosewrittenbyOliver. _Major Stedman said hé had not de-cided what action he will take now.He will probably confer with Post-master General Burleson and in ashorttimeitisbelievedhewillrec-ommend another man. fia oe Cause of Insomnia.8s_The ost common cause of insomni:disorders of the stomach and ainianenChamberlain's Tablets correet these disorders he ‘y war talkis jingoism.”ane aable you to sleep,For sale by all INIQUITY IN ASSESSMENTS.

A man near his town had 380.acres of superb timber and farm land which had been assessed for years at $1,- 000.At last a lumberman =came along and offered the owner $15.000 just for the timber on this $1,000 (7?) tract.Then the assessors started to put the assessment up to $12,500 and the owner prayed,plead and protest- ed,so that the county commissioners reduced the assessment to $10,000.A little later he died and the property sold for over $60,000, How long will it take our people to get it into their heads that lands held for speculation,the unused and partially used lands,should be tax- ed not half as high but twice as high as the lands of the small home-own- er?And how long will it take our small farmers to get it inte their heads that they must pay enough ex- tra tax on their little homes to make up for all that the government loses by not taxing the speculator’s tracts at their sale value?And héw much longer will it be before we make our politicians reform this ancient ini- quity? We are glad to see that in Texasespeciallythisissueisnowbecoming acute.Railroad Commissioner W.D. Williams voices a gweneral Texas sen- timent,and one which must sooner or later prevail in other Southern States, when he says:“Speculation in land suitable for farming and grazing has become a serious burden upon those people who make their living in the country,and I want a candidate for Governor whowillhelpliftoffsomeoftheload which now rests upon the shouldersofthosewhouselandbeneficially, and who will make it more difficult for the speculator profitably to hold his acres in idleness and to lay a per- petual tax on those who finally se-cure his permission to work it.” New Berne and Lexington Bearing Down on Booze Consumers. The amount of whiskey shipped in- to New Berne is so large that the ex- press company opened a branch office at which nothing but whiskey ship- ments were received and delivered. There was a continuous line of hacks and drays in front of the place,six days in the weck,and the office beingj | in or near to the résidentia!section, citizens complained to the board of aldermen.The board considered the complaint and passed an ordinance prohibiting drivers of public vehi-cles from transporting whiskey through the streets of the city.Since that time it has been necessary for all recipients of packages of wetgoodstocarrythemfromthepffice in their arms. The board of aldermen of Lexing- ton recently passed an ordinance pro-' hibiting the delivery of express ship- ments of whiskey at night.The citi- zen who gets his by express must get it from the office in the open day.Nolongerwillthefriendlydarknessbe allowed to shield the consignee of theboozepackageinthetownofLex-iqington..From all of which it will be seen that the strings are drawn tighter and tighter about the bibulously in- clined,‘as the days go by In someplacesthequestionofhavingthe newspapers print the list of names of persons receiving whiskey shipments has been mooted;and one need not besurprisedifanattemptismade*tohavealaw,passed to compel this to be done.: The Masonic Home Now Open andReceivingInmates.

The Two May Be Separated By Sun- ning the Chestnuts When They AreFirstGathered, The Landmark mentioned roadie ly the seizure in Washington of fivebagsofNorthCarolinachestnuts, the seizure being made under the pure food law on account of worms.inthechestriuts;and this paper ob- served that chestnuts arent |probably be excluded from the market unless a way was found to keep the wormsoutofthem.‘Bhis statement was copied in many newspapers and fell under the eye of a Chicago man,whorwritesasfollowsfrom3319Sheffield avenue,Chicago:“It is easy to keep worms out of chestnuts.In gathering and prepar- ing chestnuts for the orket theyshouldbespreadoutthinonascaf- fold and sunned every day fora week before being sold to the merchant forShipment:to other points.Spread them.out thin so that the sun canshineoneveryone,and take them in the house every night.Do not letrainordewectonthechestnutsaf- ter you begin .to sun them.After keeping them in the hot sunshine for five or six days you can put them in bags and ship them all over the coun- try and you will seldom:ever find a worm in them. “On the other hand,if you ship a bag of chestnuts just gathered out of the woods,the worms will eat them all.I am a native of western North Carolina and from the time I was five years old until I was sixteen I would gather every fall enough chest- nuts and sun them to last me to eat all winter,spring and summer—un- til chestnuts came again—and was troubled but very little with worms in my chestnuts. “Sunning the chestnuts gives them a sweet flavor and after they are sunned for a week you can put them in bags and they will rattle like corn. Then you can sell them to the mer- chant and he ean ship them any- where.This was my practieal ex- perience with chestnuts when I was a boy,and hoping some people may benefit by it I cheerfully give it. “Respectfully, “J.BAXTER.” This remedy,which is simple,may not be and probably is not news to the people who handle chestnuts,but if they know it they do not take the trouble to practice it.Usually the greater proportion of chestnuts ofs fered on the market contain worms. The pure food law,however,may force the chestnut gatherers to take the pains to sun the nuts. Contributions.to Benevolent and Re- lief Association—Nov.1912-1913.

FRIDAY,---November 21,1913. WILL LOSE THE GRAFT, There has been an evident and outspoken desire on the part of many’ members of Congress—-Senators and Representatives—to adjourn the ex- tra session of Congress prior to the beginning of the regular session,the first Monday in December.President Wilson,however,has set his face against this adjournment and the prospect is that the extra session will run into the regular session with- out adjournment. The public generally probably does not understand the zeal for adjourn- ment,seeing that the members who want to come home can come anyhow. The adjournment idea is for graft, pure and simple.Members of Con- are allowed 20 cents a mile mileage for one trip to and from Washington-for each session,They have received this mileage—which is sit least 17 cents per mile more than it ought to be—for the extra ses- sion.If the extra session would ad- jowrn one day before the regular ses- siom begins,each Representative and Senator could collect mileage for the extra session,matter whether they actually traveled to and from But if the extra ses- session gress no home or not. sion runs into the regular there will be no mileage for the reg- ular session.Hence those tears,for the mileage is one of the biggest grafts in connection with legislative experience. If The Landmark’s memory serves it,one.Congress,under similar cir- cumstances,called the change from an extra to a regular session a “con- structive recess”and collected mile- age,notwithstanding there was actual recess.But as hungry as the grafters are,they will hardly try that game in the present state of pub- lic opinion. dt is gratifying to know that North Carolina members oppose this graft. Congressman Page has made several unsuccessful attempts to have the mileage graft cut out.Congressman Doughton,who opposes adjournment, opposes a mileage allowance at any time except the amount necessary to cover the actual expenses of travel. Senators Simmons and Overman both oppose adjournment,the latter say- ing that it is an apparent attempt to get mileage. no Gov.Craig made a departure in the appointment of his freight rate com- mission by naming a college presi- dent.The Landmark believes the de- parture.is a wise one.Dr.Poteat is a very able man,and while he may not have a,practical knowledge of ifreight rates he has scientific knowl- edge which should be valuable to the commission.Judge Justice is an able lawyer and will furnish the legal knowledge,while Mr.Thompson is a business man and will doubtless be able to furnish the practical knowl- ¥edge as to freight rates: ‘Relief from excessive and burden- some freight rates may yet be afar off.The railroads have filed applica- *tion with the Inter-State Commerce Commission ‘for the change in.inter- State rates as agreed on,but objec- tion is made by.Virginia and this may .mean a long delay.The intra- State rates are yet to.be threshed out by the commission appointed by Gov.Oraig.It is a cause for frati- tude that something is being done; that the work is under -way and some relief may be expected;but the fight will take time. The National Anti-Saloon League Convention at Columbus,Ohio,did a foolish thing when it endorsed the senatorial candidacy of.Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama.The purpose of the convention was sup- posed to be to fight the legalized liquor traffie and not to promote any- body's political fortunes. TT From the number of pictures print- ed in the newspapers one road workarg spant time on Roads their pictures “took.” Good The Greensboro Record is 23 years old.It is honest and youthful editor may have years of usefulness and prospctity, THE LANDMARK is -econ- strained to believe that many of the most of their Days having candid and here’s hoping that the Record and its many '.MR.JUSTICE, Mr..E.J.Justice went to Washing- ton a few days ago to take up his work as special assistant in the De- partment of Justice.The Asheville Gazette-News is of the opinion that the taking over,of this work by Mr. Justice,which will necessarily take him out of the State and direct his energies elsewhere,is a distinct loss to the State while a very valuable ac- quisition to’the Féderal government. The Landmark holds the same view, and this is said without reference to his senatorial candidacy,to which this paper was not committed.The unbiased student of events in North Carolina must admit that,Mr.Justice has done more to relieve the people of the injustices practiced by public service corporations,and has made a braver fight for the political freedom of the people,than any other man in the State.No’matter whether we agree with him—and The Landmark was not always in accord with his views—-Mr.Justice made a_strong fight against great odds and had ac- complished much.He was attacked, of course;he was misrepresented and his motives impugned.But he fought on with a courage and abili- ty rdrely found and it is to be regret- ted that the State is in a measure to lose his services,even for a time.On this point the Greensboro News says: “Ed Justice is generally wrong,” said a gentleman given to epigrams, some months ago,“but if he wants anything he can coufit on my vote, just because I know that if he ever takes a notion to hit me,he'll hit me in the face.’We have an idea that that expresses the attitude of a good many voters in North Carolina;they. do not always ‘agree with Justice, but they do believe that he nevertakesastandwithouthavingareas- on for it,and that he has never yet hit anybody in the back.: Senator Cummins.is responsible for the observation that the rank and file of every political party is progres- sive;it is the leaders that usually lag.Greensboro has become known far and wide as the most progressive city in North Carolina,but at that we doubt whether the citizenship of this town is more progressive than that of any of our neighbors.The people of Greensboro have merely been fortunate in finding progressive ledders,who have interpreted the spirit and carried out the wishes of the voters.And chief among these is Ed Justice.For many years he has largely written the record of Guil- ford eounty in the State’s legislative history,and,for good or ill,it is the record that the vast majority of the voters desired written.He had ex- cevtionally able lieutenants,it is true, but they were lieutenants;his was the chief command. In the city his influence has been as potent,if less apparent,than in the Legislature.He is not a reformer, as that much-abused word is general- ly understood.That is to say,hemadenoattempttolegislateright- eousness into anybody.His only concern was to see that the people had every facility to express their will;and his faith in the inherent morality and good sense of the aver- age man has been abundantly justi- fied.Not altogether,of course,but in great measure we owe it to him that the will of the individual voter in Greensboro counts for more than in any other large city of the State. THE CHARLESTON BUZZARDS. Ugly Vultures ‘Protected By a City as Scavengers —The Idea Out of Date. Charlotte Observer. The buzzard’s one claim to toler- ation —his services as a scaven- ger—is now the object of attackbythescientists.The buzzard,con- sidered in’the light of advancing science,is a spreader of disease and ought to be banished from all civil-ized countries.The theory of how been exploited in the papers and has put the farmers to thinking.It is ealenlated to reverse their hithertogoodopinionofthebuzzardandhis function.And yet the buzzard is the emblem of a proud Southern city. Who has not heard of the Charles- ten market place buzzards?The market house is the place the visitor to the ancient and honorable city puts eut to first after locating,and the sight remains like a bad taste in the mouth,The Observer’s recollections of it were revived the other night in a moving picture show in.Char- lotte.On the screen it was an- nounced:“Vultures at a Market House in a Southern City.”We knew what was coming.There had been no need to name the city. There it was—the throwing of offal from a doorway into the street and the flocks of the ugly beasts of the air flying down from the roof to the feast on the cobblestones.Tradition dies hard in Charleston.These sa- ered birds are tolerated and protect- ed there because their services as seavengers cost the city nothing. But is it not a defiance of the laws cf health?After the buzzards have gorged on the offal,there follow the flies.After the flies the sun to dry the matter into dust,and then the wind to blow these germ-laden atoms into the nostrils of aristocratic Charlestonians.It must be said that Charleston does not wholly de- pend upon the buzzards for its scav- enger service,but that it permits che survival in any degree of a cus- tom so repulsive atid so unsanitary,is abidir~catise for wonder.:entereennettneeennenAnexplosionoccurredintheminejteoftheAlabamaFuelandIronCompany,near Acton,Ala.,Tuesday.As a result 24 men were killed,six wereinjuredand13whowerecutoffbytheexplosionescapedunhurt.

There are too many like him and when you talk about making theirenvironmentssuchastokeepthem on the farm or at a steady job any-where you are wasting breath. We remember reading some time ago an item in the Bible concern- ing a boy,in another neighborhood, who left home a dude and return-ed to that same home a dirty tramp.If memory serves us right the one who wrote that report of the dude who became a tramp failed to lam- bast the old man for not having con-ditions in his home such that a boywouldnotwanttoleaveandgoout with the gay sports and:spend his money on the girls who had no more use for him than they had for thehogstheex-dude fed in his latter “seeing the world”days.On_the other hand,the idea is gained from a perusal of that report concern- ing the gay young buck,that his oldfatherwasagoodproviderandhad in his home all the necessities apd some of the luxuries of life and he must have been a kind-hearted old gentleman or he never would have gone to the expense of wasting a valuable fat calf on a sorry boy when the poor,wild,rambling fool returned and wanted to stick his feet under his daddy’s table. No,the old father was not to blame for not:providing a good home for the boy.The trouble lay with the boy.He was wrong above the eyes,that boy was.He did not have sense enough to know a good thing when he saw it. ‘I'd rather be in FREIGHT BY THE AUTO TRUCK A Service That Will Supplement Railroad Service and in Some Lo- ealities Take the Place of Rail-roads.

CHARLIE AND THE COFFIN. Colored Porter at Hotel Iredell Ob-jected to Buying a Coffin But WasNotifiedThatOneWas.Shipped to His Address and Is at the Depot For Him. To the Editor of The Landmark: Charlie,who is at present.servingasporterattheHotelIredell,wasapproachedbyatravelingman:“Shy,old man,how about buying a coffin.”,Well,‘a coffin is the last thing intheworldthatanyonewantsandespeciallyCharlie,who is a negro of true African descent.The very thought made Charlie turn ashy (this being Charlie’s way of turning bagIfCharliecouldhavemasteredhis tongue and offered a protest;or bet- ter still,slid out the door that he cast a wistful look towards,all,wouldhaveended.But Mr.Drummer block-ed both avenues of escape.“Yes,we ship you a coffin,worth $50,You pay $1 down and $1 amonth.We ship coffin immediately.If you die before paid for won’t cost Lt a cent.Pretty good proposition, e 7.3 “Yes,sah,that’s all right fer a good biziness proposition,but I don’t want no coffin,”and Charlie said this like he meant it.Charlie would not agree to take the coffin but agreed to study over it.Later in the day the writer approached Charlie and inquired as to what he thought of that man’s coffin offer.‘ “I’s studying over hit;hit’s all right.I carries insurance and that coffin proposition is a heaps like in-surance.You is jest preparing fer when you die,but I don’t want _no coffin.”Charlie was studying,but had never truly realized what it meant to really have a coffin until he received a@ (fake)telegram reading thus: “Our agent telegraphed us your order for a coffin.Scme will be ship-~ ped to you today.Try thoreugtls and if it doesn’t fit will exchange.” Signed,“Wholesale Coffin Co.New York.”jf Charlie had found himself tied to a skeleton in a graveyard at night he would not have been up against it any worse than he was then.After reading his telegram and waiting a minute or two for the true meaning to “soak in,”he was heard to re- mark,“Well,I'll be doggone.”Charliesoonapproachedsomeofhiswhite friends as to correctness of telegram. Yes it was so and he would be com- pelled by law to take it now.PoorCharliespentseveralhoursindeep study—a coffin coming. Soon Mr.Drummer came in and Charlie,realizing this as his last chance to stop that coffin,was trying with all his oratory to get him to have it stopped:“Oh,no,just let it come on,get in it,have some one put the lid on.If it fits,take it home, put it under your bed and you've got it.”“Yas,sah,that’s so;but I tell you I don’t want no coffin.Say,mister, you ship that coffin to Mr.Deitz (meaning Mr.Deitz,of Statesville House Furnishing Co.)and I'll get him to sell it fer me.I tells you I don’t want no coffin coming to me.” Poor Charlie.There was nothing left for him to do but sell that cof-fin before it came.Every colored friend was approached but the tan swers all came the same—nothing do ing.Charlie was now getting desper ate and as a last resort he called the Postal messenger boy,who is fully two feet shorter in stature than Charlie,and begged him to take that coffin when it came.But the mes- senger boy couldn't see that he need ed a coffin and another chance was fast going by.“Say,I tells you,” seid Charlie,“take that coffin when it gets here and I'll pay for it.Iaintstudyingboutthatdollara month.I just don’t want no coffin.” But Charlie was left with his coffin coming.Charlie lives on “deppo”hill but when he goes home at night he mekesatwomilecirclearoundthedepot because he has been notified that his coffin has cofme and to please call for.same.But Charlie isn’t taking any chances by getting too near to the depot,for,as he says,he “don’t went no coffin.” Statistics About Mules.

Another dainty tea set is of six sil- yer pieces and a silver tray of one of the oldest English designs.It,is said to be one of the -handsomest tea sets ever sold in America,and is val- ued at $1,800.It was considered by the members of the House of Repre- sentatives,but was finally bought by some one else.An ice cream set of solid silver, consisting of a serving plate.and 12 smaller plates,elaborately etched,is also the gift of a Washingtonian. There is also a set of Lenox china, consisting of a platter and 12 plates, each having a different fish,hand- painted,in the centre,and a gold edge.From the Russian ambassador and Mme.Bakhmetieff came an amber umbrella handle set with jewels.The German ambassador and Countess von Bernstorff are said to have sent two antique silver bowls.But of all the gifts none is likely to be valued more by the bride than a tiny beaded silk purse from a lit- tle cousin,Elizabeth Wilson,the 4- year-old daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Alfred Wilson,crocheted by the giv- er,The bridal gown is expected daily from New York,where it was made.

Ex-President Taft,who was in Washington last week,called at the White House.“I just came to pay my respects,”he said to Assistant Secre- tary Forester.“Please take my card to the President and tell him so.I know he is a busy man and I don’t want to trouble him.”President Wil- son,however,directed that his prede- cessor be ushered in immediately. The two men chatted for a few min- utes,greeting each other heartily. This was the third time the ex-President had paid his respects at the White House since he left office.Ac- cording to a veteran einploye who has kept a memorandum of these things,Mr.Taft therefore has been back h|more times than any other ex-Presi- dent for 50 years. Andrew Johnson,he said,never called at the White House after his term expired.Grant made only one visit—to be a house guest of Presi- dent Garfield.Harrison called only once on President Cleveland and the latter never went back to the White House efter his second term.Colonel Roosevelt,on his return from Africa, left his card as Mr.Taft was out of the city,and has not been at the White House since. In Charlotte Tuesday night Minnie Springs,a 17-year-old colored girl, was shot and killed by a negro boy about the same age.Jealousy,it is supposed.

The great editors and —scholarly writers of our State have placed him on a lofty and safe pedestal as eas- ily ranking among the greatest ed- itors our country has produced.It is only my purpose to lay a few fresh homely flowers on the grave where our hero lies buried.The span of his life harked back to the years just preceding the war,when the simple life was more in evidence than now. While “chill penury did not ‘repress his noble rage nor freeze the genial currents of his soul,”yet it was ever his boast that it was as a plowboy that he first excelled.The only son of a well ordered,cultured home,af- ter the old regime he learned to val- ue labor and to honor the laborer, From boyhood,step by step,he grew up until he reached the lofty place of editor of the greatest journal of our State.Time forbids depicting the signs in which he conquered. Great industry,love for his fellow- men,true and unaffected politeness. Incapable of doing a smal!thing, with accurate conception of doing and saying the right thing at the right time,he easily won.Perhaps no trait of his was more prominent than the respectful hearing he ac- corded to all,for it was as a listener that he excelled.No story so crude, no visitor so humble,that failed to get audience with him Hence it was that Senator Overman,in paying a compliment to President Wilson, maid,“He is a good listener,like the editor of the Charlotte Observer, Mr.Caldwell,used to be.” Forget him!Never.His county, his State,will ever hold him in grateful memory and some time I trust allow that gratitude to crystal- ize itself into a granite or bronze monument erected either in his na- tive town or the capital of his native State.“THY FRIEND.” Mothers’Pension Laws Fail of Pur- pose. Charlotte Observer. Those who have been regarding sympathetically the enactment of mothers’pension laws in various States will be much disappointed hy the reports which come from Wash- ington State.There the law went into effect only four months ago,It was expected to solve the problem of car- ing for widows and orphans.Con- servatively drawn,it limited its bene- fits to actual widows and to such as were indigent.thus closing severs! doors against fraud.The idea,as with all similar plans,was to enable the} keeping of families together instead| of relying upon asylums.Theoreti- cally this is fine.In practice the evils more or less common to all public pensions systems have apnreared in special and aggravated form. _The Seattle Post-Intelligencer tells the story of how the law has been attended by bad results and has dis- gusted officials who were among its strongest advocates.“It has filled the children’s homes,”says this ob- server,“through the giving up to in-|stitutional charge of unsuecersful ap-|plicants for pensions.Prior +.the) taking effect.of the law mothers made |every effort to hold the children of | the family together,being cognizant| of the added income that the lawprovidesforeachchild.”When pen-ury was learned to be a condition families began breaking up at anunprecedentedrate.“In many|cases,”we are further told,“per-|jury has been committed and false|representations have been made as|to the personal financial status.On the other hand,many applicants for|pensions who have sorely needed helphavebeenreluctanttocomeforward|with their demands,and have sought itoavoidthepublicityofaskingpub-|lie aid.” stciaenaaeeee Hard Lines For Murphy. A strange freak of fortune was presented in the case of one Murphy in Pitt county Superior Court.Mur phy was charged with the Pao, of money.At the last term of the court he was tried and acquitted bu when the jury returned the verdic Murphy,whose conscience probably caused him to expect a different re- sult,could not be found and the ver-|dict Was set aside.At the trial last| week he was found guilty and sen-tenced to four months on the road.

In its report to the court the grand jury of New Hanover Superior Court deplores the “strife,contentions and clash of authority between the sev- eral public bodies and public officials of this city and county.”The report continues:“We find differences _be- tween the board of county commis- sioners and the city council,between the city council and the mayor,be- tween the board of health and the city council,between the board of commissioners and the sheriff,be- tween the mayor and the commistsion- er of public safety,”and declares that “the public welfare is being sac- rificed and that it is impossible for the laws to be properly enforced or for the community to develop as it should,under these conditions.”The report urges that the different bod- ies get together and stop the inter- nal dissension.: Immigration For September. Immigration to the United States continued around the high water mark during September,when 209,- 076 persons of all nationalities set foot on the shores of this country, according to figures issued by the Department of Labor.Of this army of Sidreauns 2,357 were deported for cause. American citizens returning home helped swell the figures for the month, 50,051 of them being included in the compilations of the inward passenger movement for the month.The total number of persons who left the coun- try in September numbered only 58,- 599,of whom 20,699 were Americecn citizens going cbroad for the winter.

Can't Remove Janitors of PublicBuildings,Messengers in InternalRevenueOffices,or Postal Clerks. While the Democrats have made some inroads into the civil service regulations,it by no means follows that the civil service law is a dead letter,as some of them seem to think. For instance,in the matter of jani-tors at public buildings,all attemptsto.make changes have been unsuc-cessful.Soon after Mr.A:D.Watts was made collector of internal rev-enue for this district he was.ap- pointed.custodian of the public building at Statesville,—relievingPostmasterRaymer,Republican.The idea evidently was for the collector to contrel the small patronage under thecustodian.The force under the cus-todian at the Statesville public build- ing is a janitor and two laborers.The janitor is under the civil service and he can’t be removed except by filing charges affecting his character orfitnessfortheposition.The janitor is holding on to his.job and probablywillcontinuetoholdit.The depart- ment at Washington has made it clear that the civil service means what it says in the matter of jani- tors.The Jaborers are not es by the civil service but as the labor- ers are under the janitor it has not been found expedient to make a change unless the janitor is changed. When Mr.J.W.Bailey was ap- pointed collector of internal reven- ue for the Raleigh district he,too, was appointed custodian of the pub- lic building,relieving the Republican postmaster.Five colored employes are understhe custodian at Raleigh. Collector Bailey succeeded in getting one of them to resign and named an- other in his place,but the depart- ment at Washington refused to per- mit the change,pointing out that the man could be removed only on charges filed and sustained.There- upon Collector Bailey resigned the office of custodian in disgust,saying that if he coldn’t control the force under him he wouldn't be responsible for it. The civil service regulations also apply to the messenger in the col- lector’s office.Mr.Lloyd Troutman, the messenger in Collector Watts’of- fice,is protected by the civil service and will probably continue to hold his job.The civil service also holds good in the postal service.When a suc-cessor is appointed to Postmaster Raymer about a year hence he will have no patronage at his disposal.The clerks in the office are all undercivilservice.Some of them are Dem- erats and they got in through the civil service. New Pump For the Water Station.’ A modern water pump with a daily capacity of 1,000,000 gallons is to be installed at the city water station. The board of aldermen held a special meeting Friday night to hear repre- sentatives of pump companies who were bidding for the contract for the new pump and the matter was refer- red to a committee composed of May- or Caldwell and Aldermen Cooper and Shelton,with power to act.This committee was in’conference with the pump people until late Saturday night and it was finally decided to huy the pumping engine offered by the Laidlaw-Dunn-Gordon Company of Cincinnati,Ohio,at $4,100.The contract for this pump will be signed today. The new pumping engine to be in- stalled is of the Corliss type and weighs,21,tons.It has a.daily ca- pacity of one million.gailons and is guaranteed té give 200 pounds of fire pressure.The present pumps at thewaterstationhavebeeninusefor 15 years and are now inadequate to meet the demands of the city.One of these will be repairéd and retain- ed for emergencies.It is expected that the new pump may be installed within 90 days. Final Changes at the Revenue Of- fice. Mr.James M.Cunningham of Greensboro yesterday took charge as chief deputy in the office of the col- lector of internal revenue,succeeding Mr.F.T.Walser.Mr.Cunningham will move his family to Statesville in a short time.Mr.Walser will continue in the service,succeeding to the place held by Mr.Il.M.Gordon.Saturday Mr. R.O.Self,who has been in the office for several weéks learning the rou- tine,succeeded to the position heldbyMr.J.L.Council. The retirement of Messrs.Coun-cil and Gordon displaces all the Re- publicans in the collector’s office ex- cept two—Mr.Walser and MessengerTroutman.The latter is protected by the civil service. Products of Corn and Tomato Clubs on.Display. Dozens of cans of tomatoes,hand- somely labeled,dozens of fine ears ofcorn,both in the undressed and in the natural state on the stalk,all attrac-tively displayed if a show window of the store of the Ramsey-Bowles-Mor- rison Co.,are samples of the products of the girls’tomato clubs and theboys’corn clubs of this county.It isadisplayofwhichtheboysandgirlshavearighttobeproud;and thatthegrown-ups will be proud of this exhibition is a matter of course. More attractive cans of tomatoescan’t be found and there is no doubt: the quality is as fine as the outside appearance indieates;and we don’t believe bettér corn is grown in theState.Take a look at the display.‘It is a fine advertisement for the~county. re :aDEATHOFMR.ROBERT REDMAN A Victim of Epilepsy—Mr.BensonDiedinSoldiers’HoméMr.Nich- olson at Farmington,; Mr.Robert Redman,aged 33 yearsasonofMr.W.W.Redman,‘who lives a few miles north of town,diedSundaymorningatthehomeofhisbrother-in-law and sister,Mr.and Mrs.A.Privette,on Seventh street,death resulting from epilepsy.Thefuneralandburialtookplaceyester- day at South River church.

Sheriff Deaton received a telegram yesterday afternoon from the chief of police of St.,Augustine,Fla.,stat- ing that James Linwood Stanley,the negro who is in jail here awaiting trial in Superior Court for stealing clothes from the Commercial Hotel at Mooresville,is wanted in St.Aug- ustine to answer a charge of murder. No particulars were given,the mes- sage simply requesting that the negro be arrested and held as a murderer. Through a letter received a few days ago Sheriff Deaton learned that Stan- ley was.wanted in St.Augustine to answer for an assault with a deadly weapon and when the officer mention- ed the matter to the negro he admitted that he had cut Richard Hutzler in St.Augustine and then ran away. Whether Hutzler is the man.who was murdered is not known.

AT HARMONY NEXT MONDAY. Big Rally Day For the Farm Life School—Mr.Clarence Poe and Others to Speak. Correspondence of The Landmark. To my knowledge this is the first oecasion of its kind that has ever been held in the county,and,fellow farmers,let’s make it the biggesteventthathaseverbeenpulledoffin Tredell county.By the opening of this school the county “has placed a practical edu- cation in reach of every farm boy and girl within its borders,who really wants one.By a practical education I mean one that will increase our earning capacity on the farm;one that will make brighter and more at- tractive farm homes;and one thatwillcauseustorespectandhonorthe dust of the soil just as much or more than the dust of the shop,factory,or anv other vocation of life. The establishment of this school is another one of old Iredell’s progres- sive steps and one that the farm- ers should feel proud of,for there are only three counties in the State at present which offer such oppor+ tunities to its farm boys and girls. Mr.Clarence Poe,editor of the Progressive Farmer;Mr.T.E.Brown, in charge of the Corn elub work of the State,and Mr.E.S.Millsaps,dis- trict agent of the farm demonstration work,will be among the speakers. The Domestic Science class desires that both county boards be present not only to inspect the institution but to give them an opportunity of actual- ly demonstrating to the boards what they can do in the kitchen abouc noon time.The board of education has promised to be present and we hope that the commissioners can fo ar- range their business as to enable them to go and by their presence show that they recognize the development of agriculture es being one of the most vital factors in the future progress of our county. Mr.Gray says that he is very anx- ious for the teachers in the vicinity of Harmony to be present with their schools to hear Mr.Brown’s tal on corn and tomato club work. Now,fellow farmers,wé have just about completed the harvest season of one of the most plentiful and valu- able crop years that we have ever ex- perienced,so let’s all be present De-cember 1 with well filled haskets andhearMr.Poe and the other speakers.At the same time you can inspect the school and give agriculture the largest ovation that it has ever received in this or any other county.J.A.AREY.

THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,---November 26,1913, =COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS The next Legislature,says Supt, Davis of the Anti-Saloon League,will be asked to pass a law to preventthe | shipment of liquor into the State. This,can be dune and-the law en- foreed through the Webb act.(‘The “proposition to shut it out entirely is going to put some of them to the test.Many who have shouted for prohibition have reserved to them- selves the privilege of keeping a pri; vate supply. *6 “J want my mileage,I need it and so do my creditors,”said Representa- tive Thomas,a Kentucky Democrat, jn urging’the House of Congress to adjourn this month,so that the mem- bers could collece mileage for the reg- ular session.“I am from a Republi- can district,”he added,“and it takes money to get the people to vote right in my district.”“If that’s the best Democrat Kentucky can sénd from a Republican district—a man who stands up and boldly announces that he wants to get money out of the public Treasury to bribe voters—it is to be hoped that the district “will send a Republican next time. ** Whatever may be said about the whipping post as a method of pun- ishment,the Delaware Congressmen who defended the.practice in his State was eternally right when he said he had “little patience with any man who permits his sympathy to yun with the felon so far as to for- get the/rights of law-abiding citi- zens of the State.”It is all right to insist that prisoners be treated hu- manely,but unless punishment.for wrong-doing is sufficiently severe to be dreaded by the criminal,the pur- pose of its infliction fails.‘he trouble is that the country has,at present a superabundance of maud- lin sympathy for criminals.In the zeal for the criminals the wrongs they inflict on society,the suffering they cause others,is too often for- gotten;and so it comes to pass that the criminal is made a sort of hero while his crime is ignored.People who so sympathize with criminals that they forget the rights of oth- ers,are not safé counselors in these matters;and this maudlin sympathy encourages crime. *7 = The Greensboro News says “one is hardly.likely to go to the New York Sun for Biblical information,” and expresses surprise at some in- formation of this character found in the Sun.That is where,in The Landmark’s opinion,the News _is short on knowledge of the Sun.The editors of the New York Sun are probably better posted on the Bible than the editors of any other news- paper in the country.Old man Chas. A.Dana,who made the Sun famous, was a great Bible student and it was his idea that every newspaper man should study the Bible—study it for the literary style,for he maintain- ed that it was a well of English un- defiled—apd for historical informa- tion.We have no doubt that in old Dana’s time the “bright young men” on the Sun were required to take a course in Bible study and the same rulé may obtain in the Sun office un- to this good day.It would be well, by the way,if this rule obtained in every newspaper office.The Bible is not only the bestiliterature in the world but it cotftams some of the finest examples of narrative writ- ing to be found in literature.If newspaper writers would make a study of the Bible they would not only gain much valuable historical information from the Book of Books, but they would learn a literary style that is unsurpassed. *=a Anent the dispute between Chief Justice Clark and Gov.Craig,as The Landmark ‘sees it the actual amount of the excess freight rate paid by North Carolina is largely a matter of guessing.From the investiga- tions made there is a basis of esti-mate,but*it’is possible only to ap- proximate eho Sadge Clark usually deals in large figures and“hehasputtheamounttothetopnotch. Gov.Craig has no reason to make the amount less than it really is and his statement is conservative.Real- ly the amount doesn’t make so much difference.It is the principle that is wrong.In the matter of lobbying, it does not appear that lobbyists pre- vented enactment of any of the leg- slation desired by those who wanted to bring the railroad people to taw. Of course there.were lobbyists at the session of the Legislature.They are always on hand;and the worst part of it is,as Judge Clark says,that|some of the railroad representatives —the paid attorneys’of the railroads —are also representatives in the Leg- islature.It is a shame and an out- rage that this should be so,but solongasthepeoplearesounconcern- ed about their interests that they elect the retained attorneys of public service corporations to the Legisla- ture,where they can help the-cor- porations,we can’t blame the rail- roads nor the attorneys. But speaking of lobbying,Judge Clark occupies.a somewhat embar- rassing position in this matter,asTheLandmarkseesit.He com-plains that the initiative and refer- endum was not submitted to the peo-ple.The Landmark sympathizes with the complaint._It favored the submission of this amendment andwouldhavesupportedit.A goodmanypeoplealsofavoredthesub- mission of the so-called'Bible amend- ment.Judge Clark opposed that.He was the first public man in the Statetopronounceagainstitandhewas.active agginst it.That was his privilege.But in his zeal to defeat theBibi¢amendment Judge Clark wroteafriendinWilmington,Mr.W.F.Jones,a Catholic,who had supported Judge Clark Senator,suggestingthat“a CatMolie will be somewhat atadisadvantageinaProtestant State”if the Bible amendment should ficult to defeat it at the ballot box ifallowed‘to pass the Legislature.”So,this championof the rights of the people encouraged lobbying in’the Legislature ageinst the Bible ‘amend-ment.He didn’t want the people tohaveachancetovoteonit;he wasafraidtheywouldadoptit.The judge may think he was doing God's service when he was trying to stir up_a lobby against the Bible amend-.ment.He didn’t want it submitt to the people;he was afraid they would vote for it.The people who opposed the initiative and referen- dum can of course meke the same claim;and so Judge Clark,seeing that he is in a glass house,is in poor condition to throw rocks.—NE A Watauga Man Who is Making Money in the Cattle Business, Boone Democrat. Mr,W.E.Shipley of Valle Cru- cie passed through town with a beautiful bunch of “top”two-year steers,taking them to his brother’s farm on New river,where they will be fed during the winter.Mr.Ship- ley is “carrying over”120 steers,the average weight of which is 776 pounds,and he tells the Democrat that the herd is made up of the very best cattle he could buy,and is of the opinion that this is the choice bunch to be found in Watauga or ad- joining counties.Mr.Shipley has a 30-ton silo which he filled this year from a little more than four -acres of corn,and says next year he will build another with a capacity.of 100 tons,giving him 130 tons of ensilage upon which he will feed through the winter,on his.own farm,150 head of steers.He has found that it takes an acre of New river meadow to winter a steer,while a ton of ensilage and a bag of cotton seed meal will bring one through in better condition than the hay from an acre ©of ground. From his silo he can feed six héad per acre,with the cotton meal added, and have the benefit of the manure for the next crop.Of course the bet- ter the yield of corn per acre the more cattle it will feed.Mr.Ship- ly’s silo is now full of corn that av- eraged about 80 bushels to the acre. All of his cotton seed meal is shipped to Elk Park and is hauled by wagons to his farm.He has made a study of the cattle business and is making money as a result.eenaR Gov.Glenn Taking the Soundings on the Senatorship. Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. Former Governor Robert B.Glenn is not taking any chances on landing a government job.While it is gener- ally conceded in Washington that Mr. Glenn will be tendered a place as inter-State commerce commissioner, it is known that the former Governor is also looking the ground over with an eye on the senatorial toga now held by Senator Overman.This much was learned when informction was received here that Governor Glenn is flooding the State with let- ters “sounding,”if not actually ask- ing,the support of prominent Demo- cratic leaders in North Carolina,It is being rumored that the former Governor will not accept the offer of President Wilson to be a member of the great Inter-State Commerce Com- mission,but acting upon the advice of his friends,he will throw off his coat and make the race for the Sen- ate against Senator Overman. “T had rather be United States Sen- ator than have the biggest office of the land,”said Governor Glenn to the Daily News correspondent at the home of Senator Simmons,while Mr. Glenn was in Washington a few days ago.Since that time people who have visited Washington are more inclined than ever to the belief that the Forsyth county man is going to run.It is known positively that a tremendous effort is being made by those opposed to Senator Overman to have Glenn run and failing in this, they hope to bring out some one else. Will Try to Prevent Shipment of Liquor Into the State. Greensboro News. _That the next fight by the prohi- bition forces of Noxth Carolina will be to prevent absolutely the ship- ment of liquor into the State,was -a statement made by Superintendent R.L.Davis of the Anti-Saloon League,who had just returned from attending the national convention:at Columbus,Ohio.The purpose of Superintendent Davis,and his efforts, will be to this ond from the present time till the convening of the next Legislature,when the fight for abso- lute prohibition will be waged. He is optimistic of the outcome and believes that with a thorough organization of the prohibition forces of the State and a careful moulding of public opinion,the fight before the Legislature will be decisive.Five counties of North Carolina alreadyprohibittheshipmentofwhiskeyin- to them,and one township.Superintendent Davis declared there was a great display of en- thusiasm in the national conventionandthatplansweresetunderway for securing national prohibition,A resolution was passed to this end, and on December 10th a meeting of 1,000.men appointed by the conven- tions will be held at Washington. Twenty-five representatives fromNorthCarolinawillbepresent.Re- spects will be paid to President Wil- son and Secretary Bryan and a ban-quet will be held to which the Repre- sentatives and Senators who voted for the Webb bill will be invited.

Will Fields,who lives about four miles from Elk Park,Avery county, near the Tennessee line,was called to his door last Wednesday night,to look into the muzzles of two revoly- ers in the hands of masked men,who demanded his money’or his life.Re- fusing compliance,the guns snapped in his face,but did not fire.Fields dodged back into the house,where he was followed by the men,who beet him into unconsciousness with the guns.At this juncture an outery was given by qther members of the family and the bandits fled after a Kasty search for money.Fields had about $300 on his person,but the robbers got none of it.Dave Oakes and his son were ar- rested on suspicion of attempting the robbery.

An unusual case,in which dam— ages are sought for losses alleged to have been sustained as the result of forest fires,has been transferred from the Superior,Court of Avery county to the United States District Court at Asheville.Noah P.Webb seeks damages from the W.M.Rit- ter Lumber Company in the sum of $12,800,claimed to have been sus- tained as follows:To rhedodendron shrubs,$12,000;growing timber, $500;galax,$200;other shrubs,$100. It is contended that the land of the defendant was traversed by a tram road and that sparks from a train set fire to the shrubbery at the dry season of the year;that the blaze spread,through the negligence of the defendant company,to the lands of the plaintiff.In view of the heavy -wooded tracts of western North Carolina and the frequency of forest fires,the outcome of the case is awaited with interest.The suit was transferred from the State to the Federal Court upon the grounds that the plaintiff is a resident of this State,while the defendant is incor- ginia.

This year it would seem that we have special reasons to be thankful,for we have been blessed in many ways. If we are really thankful we should show it by making a thank offering. The churches will be open Thursday and collections will be taken for the various orphanages;and in other ways there will be opportunities to help those who may need help.ee A hearing is on at Chicago in the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Com- pany (the Bell)and the following report of the hearing is of interest: Edwin D.Schade,general manager of the Johnstown (Pa.)Telephone Company,and a vice president of theIndependentTelephoneAssoctation, testified that his company had forc- ed the Bell system to the wall in his pelenhdnea pate be- tween Johnstown and Picwsburgh is 40 cents for three minutes,said Mr. Schade.Between McConnelsburgh and,Pittsburgh,over which the Bell lines have no competition,the rate, he said,was $1.45 for three minutes. The distance is about 75 miles in each case.Mr.Schade complained of “de- structive competition”by the Bell system,charging that “the trust”of- fered free service pn some local lines and had reduced toll service to “al- most nothing.” This,trust and all trusts follow the same rules everywhere.Wherever a ménopoly has competition,it gives free service or sells its service for almost nothing to run the competitor out of business.If successful,the price is then put up to the very high- est notch and the community is forced to repay whatever the company lost in destroying competition.In the meantime also,the limit is charged wherever there is no competition.In Statesville and contiguous territory, the Bell,in its efforts to hamper the independent company,gives rates and concessions that it does not give where it controls the field.In fact, wherever the Bell controls the field the service is often allowed to run down and then the company will offer to make improvements on condition that it be allowed to raise the rate. This has occurred at a number of places in this State,and the com- munity had either to pay the increase or go on with a bum service.

In Monroe,where the seed market is under the complete domination there has been noth- ing like an even exchange this year, the difference in price against the fermer running from about $2 to]s $4 on the ton.Three years ago when the State Union took up the matter they forced an even bethitune in the first part of the season and before the season was over,a balance even in favor of the farmer.But as soon as effort was relaxed the trust put the screws on again. The highwaymen who held up a last Thursday night did no more di- abolical thing than the seed trust boldly does to the farmers.When the market opens in the fall they put down the price of seed until they have taken the bulk of the crop and then gradually put it up towards the end in order that they may sell the meal and hulls back to the farmers at a high price. The market opened here at 35 cents and is now 42.There never has been a time during the season when the crushers could not have paid much REMEMBER BARIUM ORPHA Mifls in the Combine and Dictate the|Friends of the ‘Institution Asked to Bt Prices.Make Liberal,Thanksgiving Con- To the Editor of The gs arses ;I th ivil f or “A good illustration of what can|the ee ae ve Bente mane be accomplished by co-operative mar-|Home of the always urgent needs of Sayre: keting is offered by the Mecklenburg;this institution and to ask that liberal ‘ ;on a,7 the ereatati to five years ago the farmers had re-fe Ey tho children,Mayaknot,|American manufacvore,Yous hope that the orphans at Bariim will exchange for each ton of seed.The|be remembered Thursday?Thosemydonotms.convenient sia aig)tribute through the church collections their seed and to put them back|are urged to send contributions di-W.T.Walker,superintendent and treasurer,Barium,N.C.>.rect. .tributions.d Government?

Chicago Dispatch,21st,to Baltimore Sun J.Ogden Armour returned from Washington today “in no pleasant frame of mind hécause of -his ex- periences at the capital. Mr.Armour left here last Monday in the belief that he was to see Pres- ident Wilson and correct some im- pressions which he had reason to be- lieve President Wilson had formed regarding Mr.Armour’s attitude to- ward the administration.Before friends he had no purpose in mak- ing the visit other than as above stat- ed,Preliminary inquiries that he had made justified him in assuming that the President would be glad to see him and get his information as to Mr. Armour’s attitude from Mr.Armour himself. To his surprise Mr.Armour found on reaching Washington that Presi- dent Wilson did not care to see him. The White House doors were closed to him,as they have been to every representative of “big business”who has sought an audience with Mr.Wil- son. Mr.Armour would not talk today of his unpleasant.experience,but it is clear to those about him that he is not likely to seek the White House again during the incumbency of the present occupant.

Biblical Recorder. It may be timely and profitable to historical standpoint:We are ‘there-fore to consider it first among the an- cient Hebrews,and,secondly,amonthemodernAmericans.The one will4serveasamodelfortheotherastotheoccasion,the spirit,and the ex-pression of gratitude.| The Hebrew Thanksgiving.Of the three great feasts of the Jews——Passover,Pentecost and Tab-ernacles-—the last was.the most joy-ous of all.It was a time of genuinethanksgiving.Reviewing its insti-tution and observance in Bible times, we note seven things regarding it.(1)It was a time of remembrance(Leviticus,28:42,43).Every observ-er would remember that Israel had been by a mighty hand brought out of the land of Egypt.They wouldrecallhowtheirforefathers‘weremadetodwellinboothsinthewilder-ness.Their residence in the cities of Canaan,the land flowing with milk and honey,would not dull their mem-ory of the past. (2)It was a (Numbers,29:12-38).The burnt of-ferings were more numerous thanthoseattendantuponanyotherfeast. The daily offerings included two rams,14 lambs and one kid,for the sin offering.During the feast there was also a total of 70 bullocks sacri-ficed—h3 the first day,12 the next,and so on. (3)It was a time of joy (Deut., 16:13-15.)The Hebrew people were made very happy on this occasion be- cause of what they had received,in- eluding the products of the soil,It was a time of happiness on the part of all the household in every family —Thou,thy son,thy daughter,thy manservant,and thy maidservant”— and by everybody in the nation,in- cluding the Levite,the stranger,the fatherless and the widow.And this joy rested upon the providence of God,“for the Lord will continue to bless.” (4)It was a time of truth-search- ing (Deut.,31-10-13).During this feast the Law was to be read entire every seventh year.All the people were to hear.As a result there would be widespread knowledge of the Bi- ble and general obedience to it. (5)It was a time of church-going (I Kings,8:2-65).Significantly the dedication of Solomon’s temple tookplaceonthisancientThanksgiving. Vast was the assembly gathered from every part of the realm and from neighboring nations.Solemn indeed was the service setting apart the new and splendid house of the Lord.Fresh reason had the Hebrew people in this time of thanksgiving to render thanks to Almighty God. (6)It was a time of portion-send- ir»(Neh.,8:10).Long years had passed and long had it been since the observance of the Feast of Taber- nacles.But Israel had now emerged from captivity.The nation had been restored,the temple rebuilt,divine worship re-established and the Book of the Law re-opened.Naturally the observance of this great feast came as the crown of their restora- tion.And one great feature of the feast under direction of Ezra was that these happy observers of it should “send portions unto them for|whom nothing is prepared.”Thus the circle of joy and of gratitude would widentto include everybody,even the least and the poorest in the whole realm,(7)It was a time of testing (John, 7 and 8).Turn to the New Testa- ment and glimpse in the new era one observance of the ancient Thanksgiv- ing.Jesus appeared at the Faast ofTabernaclesinJerisalem.The peo- ple there were supposedly observing| the feast.Yet many were critical of His death.We are reminded of the fact that the time of thankfulness is realy a time of testing.It is well to remember that Christ is presayt and to hope that each of us may stand the test and be proven true.Now,this ancient Hebrew Thanks- giving was the basis and is the model for our American Thanksgiving. the Scriptural suggestion? The American Thanksgiving. Inthe foreground appear the.Col- onilal Thanksgivings.The first is said to have been celebrated in 1621 just after the first harvest of the Pil- grims was gathered.It was orderedbyGovernorBradford,of the Ply- mouth Colony.The idea was adopted soon by the Massachusetts Bay Col-ony;then by the other New Eng- land Colonies where it was often ob- served;and later it spread irregu- larly among the Middle Colonies. Their observance of it was marked by attendance at two church services, one in the morning and one in the afternoon,each being about three hours long.In éach of these services it is said there was a 15-minute pray- er,the reading and exposition of a chapter in the Bible,the singing of several hymns and the preaching ofasermonanhourandahalffong. Early national Thanksgivings came in the course of time.It is said that the first genéral-Thanksgiving was recommended in 1776 by the Con- tinental Congress and that it was ob- served annually throughout the Rev-olutionary War.In 1789 a Thanks- iving Proclamation was issued.by fashington following the adoptionofourFederalconstitution.AnotherwasproclaimedbyWashingtonin 1795 on the occasion of the suppres-sion of the Whiskey insurrection in western .Pennsylvania.PresidentMadisonproclaimedaThanksgivingin1815atthesuccessfultermination W.D.TURNER,ee.Presiilent:EK.MORRISON,-~Vice President,D.M.AUSLEY,-=~Cashier.

The Homicide Rate Higher in This Country Than Any Other—A Land of Murders. Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. We published some weeks since a comparative statement of the deaths resulting from criminal violence in thic and other civilized countries of the world,in which the showing was so much to the shame of our civili-vation that several of our contempo- raries hesitated to accept the statis-ties as reliable.Access lately open- ed to official records show a condi- tion little if any more satisfactory than the estimates we then used as a basis for contrast. The homicide rate per 100,000 was slightly lower in 1912 then in 1911,but the United “States still leads all other counffies in this particular method swelling the mortality lists.ew York city’s homicide rate is hipter than that of London.Chi-cage’s rate also is higher than that of London or Paris.For five years, ending with the year 1910,the hom- icide rate in Copenhagen was only 045 to the 100,000.If the same ratehadprevailedduringthesamepe- riod in New York city the number of homicides would have been 59, whereas in reality it was 778. Italy has of European nations the worst record for homicides,this ac- countable for by the survival there of the feud system and the existonce of secret societies whose trade is) murder.In that kingdom the aver-| age rate of homicidal deaths was) only 3.09 per 100,000 inhabitants for| a period extending five years from | 1905.During the same period the| average>rate in the regictrative area | of the United States was 5.9.In oth-| er words,for every 100 killings in!the United States there were only| sixty-six in Italy.A Chicago news-| paper,which has made an annual| tabulation of homicides for many| years,placed the number at 9,330| *for the year 1912,but this is proba- bly slightly in excess of the suffi-| ciently lamentable truth Makingan | Allowance for possible duplications an the Tribune's tables,«the exhibit| is shocking when compared with the reliable reports from the British Isles,France or Germany.

Rev.Frank Siler te Preach Here—- Church News, The “Luther Day”programme will be rendered by the Sunday school at Mt.Hermon Lutheran church in Shi- loh township Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.The programme wil!include an address by Rev.W.A.Deaton,D. D.,of Hickory. The Methodist congregation of Stony Point gave their pastor,Rev. D.S.Richardson,a “gracious pound- ing”Saturday night.A good supply of “the fruit of the land”was show- ered upon the minister,who desires to publicly express his appreciation of such a “pounding.” Services at St.Michael's church, Troutman,Sunday at 11 o'clock. Rey.Frank Siler,a former pastor of Broad Stroet Methodist church of Statesvitie,will preach at Broad Street Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Rev.Mr.Siler,who has for the past few years been located in Georria, will return to North Carolina and is now attending the Conference in Charlotte.He will arrive in States- ville tomorrow evening and will be the guest of Mr.and Mrs.J.L.Sloan during his stay here.Mr.Siler was very popular with his charge when he was pastor here and had many friends in the community who will be glad to welcome him.It was under his leader ship that the building of the hand- some new Broad Street church was begun. Excepting the Methodist churches, whose pastors are at Conference in Charlotte,and the Episcopal church, which is without a rector at present, fhanksgiving services were held in the Statesville churches yesterday.

A white iron plate bearing the in- scription,“Keep to .the Rigat,”hasbeenplacedinthecenterofthepub- lic square with the hope that it will aid the officers in their efforis to teach drivers of vehicles to always xeep to the right side of the street and thus avoid congestions and pos- sible collisions.Common law says that vehicles must turn to the right and the automobile law states that in case an automobile drives up be- hind another vehicle and indicates that it desires to pass,it is the duty of the driver of said vehicle to turn far enough to the right to allow the automobile to pass on its left.If this rule of keeping to the right was more generally observed there would be fewer accidents on the streets and highways.The drivers of vehicles drawn by beasts of burden complain that the motorists monopolize the roads and the drivers of the automobiles avowthat“the other fellow”does the same, The principal complaint of the auto-mobile drivers is that when theydriveupbehindothervehiclesand, in compliance with the law,“honk” their “honker”or “buzz”their “buz-zer,”the driver of the vehicle aheaddoesnotalwayscomplywiththelaw ‘turning to the right and ,ivingftheroad.Possibly if their were a\itew indictments for violation ofthelawoneachsideitwouldhave a good effect.

In his report President R.L.Poston showed that the association’s bureau of credit is now thoroughly establish- ed and is proving very valuable to the members.The protection against bad accounts afforded by the bureau is also being sought by some of the rural merchants of the coun- ty.During the year a dozen dr more new members have been received in- to the association,and most of them were unsolicited.The association has become a real live organization, is doing a good work for the mer- chants and the community,and it is no longer necessary to “drum”for new members.After hearing the re- ports of the officers the association endorsed them by re-election.”R.L.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS aeeeneeeennenene Collector Josiah William Bailey of the Raleigh district,who offered his _resignation as custodian of the Fed- eal building “Gn Raleigh because he+ was denied the privilege of firing one of the janitor force for incompeten- cy,has adjusted the matter satisfac- torily with the Treasury Depart- ment.He was advised that he could get rid of the employe by preferring charges but that these cases must be disposed of according to civil service forms and regulations.The sollector -custodian has withdrawn his resignation as custodian and will proceed to handle the case according to the methods precribed. It sounds ridiculous now,but many people ‘will recall that at the out- break of the war with Spain there was a near panic along our coast lest a bombardment by the Spanish navy and a possible landing of Span- ish troops should oecur over-night, Col.Theodore Roosevelt,who was Assistant Secretary of the Navy when the tfouble began,tells about it in his autobiography,which has just been published.He says: “The Governor of one State actual- ly announced that he would not per- mit its National Guard to leave its borders,the idea being to retain it against a possible Spanish invasion, So many of the business men of Bos- ton took their securities inland to Worcester that its safe deposit cont- panies proved unable to take care of them.In my own neighborhoed «n Long Island clauses were gravely put into leases to the effect that if the property were destroyed by the Span- jards the lease should lapse.Cham- bers of commerce and boards of trade of different coast cities brought every species of pressure to bear up- on the administration to distribute the navy,ship by ship,at all kinds of points,with the idea of protecting everythin everywhere.” North Carolina folks wer?no hit. tle alarmed about our own anprotect- ed coast.We figured that the Spanish ships might come into Beaufort har- bor and land a force that would play havoc on our eastern coast.But when the Spanish fleet did appear on the Cuban coast it was destroyed 50 quickly that we have never felt elat ed over the victory.The Spaniards were so weak in the struggle with us that what we did to them really seem- ed inhumane.But before w#knew their strength,many of our foiks lost sleep through anxiety about what they might do to us. Probing High Cost of Living—After Cold Storage People. Another Federal investigation in- to the high cost of living,promising criminal prosecutions if Attorney General McReyolds can find an alleg- ed cold storage conspiracy,got under way this week and a congressional investigation of a different phase of the cost of living problem is threat- ened.

The proposal for a meat investiga- tion was prompted by an announce- ment that the navy had bought near- ly 300,000 pounds of Australian fresh beef at half a cent a pound lower than the best prices of American packers,and 120,000 pounds of can- ned corned beef from the Australian packers at eight cents a pound cheap- er than the lowest price in the United States.The price paid was 11.90 cents a pound for-the fresh beef,and 15.37 cents for the corned product. "Announcing his intention to ask for a congressional investigation of the navy’s beef contract,Congress- man Britten declared he wanted to develop why the public could not ben- eftt by the advantageSf buying from Australia if the navy could do so. "Representative McKellar of Ten nessee has pending im the House a bill to prohibit inter-State transpor- tation of any food products kept in cold storage more than 90 days.He contends itsenactment into law would go far toward solving the cold stor- age question. Agents of the Department of Jus- tice took up their work in all the principal cities.They will report par- ticularly on eggs and dairy products and will attempt to make an estimate of the quantities in cold storage and how long they have been there.i The Matter of Big Salaries. Charlotte Observer. The matter of big salaries,espe- cially those paid to some railroad presidents,has been brought under discussion by the statement of a Harvard professor to the effect that no head of a big corporation is worth more than $25,000 a year,and thai when salaries of $40,000,$75,- 000 and $100,000 are paid it is an im- position on the stockholders.The services rendered could by no means be worth the compensation.The Philadelphia Record recalls that dur- ing the insurance investigation of a few years ago it was brought _out that the president of a large New York company,who was regarded as anything but 4 genius,had ,succeed- ed in boosting his salary to $150,000 a year and that various membcrs of his family,none of whom were per- sons of exceptional ability,were al- so drawing enormous salaries.As a result of the investigation the whole parasitic brood was cut off,greatly to the advantage of the company. The same pruning would be of bene- fit_to many,other corporations.The Record says that “men who draw very la salaries like,of course,to foster the belief that they.are per- sons of remarkable ability and are getting no more than they are worth,but when they step down no re diffieulty is found in filling places accept bly.” Tonight,if you feel dull and stupid,or )fefliousand waned,tee gee of,Coane youTald-feelall right"Foe sabe by ll dealers.” may be rented either in West Ral- eigh or in Raleigh at from $2.50 per week up.

The.expenditure of “a billion.or two of dollars”and the sacrifice of “one hundred thousand young Amer- icans sent to death,”as the New York World puts it,is not the strong- est argument against war with Mex- ico.It is strong and serious enough to make us pause,and to cause ev- ery parent and every taxpayer in the country to indorse the Presi- dent’s policy of patience.But there is a stronger argument yet for thoughtful and patriotic people in the realization of what an unjust and unnecessary war entails in moral and national consequences upon the coun- tr which undertakes it.We have billions to spend for the right in peace or war,and American _blood would be consecrated by ea great eause.But war for dollars and ma- terial interests;war upon a weakerpowerwhichwewouldnotundertake with a stronger one;war in which patriotism is made ‘the stalking horse for greed and in which victory might be followed by the “benevo- lent assimilation”of conquered ter- ritory,would injure not only our in- fluence for good with the world out- side of us but would tend to corrupt the national conscience and demoral- ize the national character.The real question.at stake is not so much what it would cost us in blood and money, but what if would cost us in lower national life and in the debasement ofnationalprinciple.1f we have to in- tervene in Mexico,let us be sure that we can do so with a conscience void.of giilt—on such grounds that we can feel that history will “report our cause aright.” The Against Kinston,was accidentally shot andkilled,Tuesday afternoon,,whilehuntingnearKinston,He was climb- ing over a fence when his gun wasdischarged.: Torment thousands ofpeople daily.Don’t beoneofthesesuffererswhenforsolittlecost you can get well rid’of the cause.Foley Kidney Pills begin their good work from the very firat dose.They exert so direct an action yon the kidneys and bladder “that the painandtormentofbackache,rheumatism and!i kidney trouble is soon dis:Staterris Drug Co ee eee ee AGRICULTURE SHORT COURSE.

Fourteen thousand employes of the General Electric Company at Schenectady,N.Y.,went on strike this week.Their’only grievance is that two employes were:discharged, it is alleged,because they had been active in labor union circles..The company claims that the employes were discharged because their serv- ices were not needed. The committec appointed by the New York Cotton Exchange to con- sider the extension of the warehouse system of the exchange to Southern cities has reported in favor of such a plan,If adopted it will mean that it will no longer be necessary for Southern shippers to send to New York for grading and certification of cotton intended for delivery on con- tracts. A Philadelphia shipbuilding firm snnounces that it has been awarded a contract to build what is said to.be the largest ferryboat ever construct- ed in this country .The specifica- tions for the boat call for a speed of 16 knots an hour.It will be 350 feet long and 50 feet beam.The vessel will cost.$500,000 and will be used to ferry trains between Key West and Havana. It is estimated that the parcel post business during its first year of oper- ation will amount to $40,000,000. These figures will represent a~profit from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 to the government.With more extensions in the way of increased weight limits and lower rates,the parcel post traffic will probably reach $100,000,- 000,which will represent the absorp- tion of a big slice of the present ex- press traffic.

The general premium list includes about $400 in cups and gold premi- ums in addition to the regular cash premiums.There is also a special list open only to Iredell exhibitors, thus giving the home breederer an advantage over the outsiders.In this list is near $200 worth of special premiums given by local merchants and business men who have always been generous in their support of the annual events.

FRIDAY,---November 28,1918. JUDGE CARTER’S GOOD WORK. Judge Carter of Asheville is after the “higher up”blind tigers and he is getting results.It is too often true in many communities that negroes and the common class of whites are held to fairly strict account for the observance of the law,while white people of prominence and influence are allowed to do pretty much as they please.So often is this true that the class of whites who think they are prominent and who have friends at court,feel that they are privileged to do as they please,Judge Carter deserves the more honor for his work at Asheville because it is his home town.He is sweeping first before his own door.When his charge to the grand jury failed to bring re- sults he didn’t fold his hands and say he was helpless.He set a force of auditors.snd stenographers to work examining the records of the railroad and express companies in Asheville pomts m recordsandallnearbyrailroad Buncombe county.The showed that thousands of gallons of liquor had been shipped in,much of necessarily illegally dis- This resulted in the ar-which was posed of. rest of druggists,prominent hotel men and others,who are either charg- ed with the illegal sale of liquor or with aiding and abetting in the of- fence.A raid on one drug store dis- closed 300 gallons of intoxicants Bar Sxtures were seized in the basement “of the Battery Park hotel and evi- dence found to indicate that a regular retailing place had been conducted there.The proprietors of the Lan- gren,another prominent hotel,and the operators of /the drug store con- nected therewith are among those charged with violations of the liquor law. Judge Carter is not only doing his duty and setting an example to other Superior Court judges and all law officers,but he is maintaining the principle that justice should know no individual or station;that the law is made for all and should be enforced without discrimination;that the wealthy who stop at the first class| hotels have no more right to privi- leges in violation of the law than the humble who live in cheap boarding ich the police are ready to slightest intimation of houses, raid on the wrong-doing. President Finley of the Southern railway,who died suddenly Tuesday, came up from the ranks and was familiar with all railroad work.He was a Southern man and since he had been president of the Sogthern railroad he had been un- tiring in his efforts to promote the ‘Gevelopment of the South.He used every opportunity to speak and write in this behalf.He used his influence for the promotion of modern farming methods,for good roads and schools and all phases of rural devel opment,as well as for manufactur- -ing and other phases of urban de- velopment.He knew that prosper- ons,gorign’Saral excammnities~meant prosperity for his railroad lines,and while from this viewpoint his activi- ties could be considered selfish,they were nevertheless for the grood. lines of good general en”;Immediately following the an- ;F “Accidents,‘Cri EITEMSOFSTA’ and’Other Inci- dents of Life in the Old North State.

Mr.P.G.Moore Wednesday efter- noon shot and instantly killed Will Grant,colored,at the Seaboard Air Line commissary camp in Charlotte. Mr.Moore says he had had trouble with the negro and when the latter was running away he shot him. Dave Monroe,a negro youth,is charged with criminally as#aulting the 56-year-old daughter of his em- ployer,Dr.D.H.Currie,at Parkton, Robeson county.To prevent a pos- sible lynching the negro was taken to the State prison in Raleigh for safe keeping. People who talk too free with their mouths are sometimes called to ac- count.Miss Mattie Boykin,18 years old,formerly a resident of Johnston county,now a resident of Wake,has brought 18 suits in the Superior Court of Wake county,for slander, avainst ten people living in one town- ship -in Johnston county. In Yadkin Superior Court last week the negroes who assaulted Constable Shugart and took a prisoner away from him were disposed of as fol- lows:Tom Hamlin was sent to the chain gang for 12 months,Tom Mar- tin was fined $50 and costs,he to pay Mr.Shugart $75 for personal inju- ries;and Sam Bitting was fined $50.

Vhat Does You our Cost You Few housewives give serious thoughttotheactualcostofflourmadeintobread.Often they are influenced by the first cost of flour without consid-ering the additional cost of ingredients. It will surprise a great many people to know that our self-rising SAVE TROU- BLE FLOUR is the cheapest they can buy—aswell as the best. It is cheaper because it eliminates en- tirely eleven pounds of .ingredients which must go into a barrel of flour to make it up into bread. The ingredients consist of eight pounds of baking powder at a cost of 25c.per pound,making a total cost of $2.00 for _one barrel of flour.This does not in- clude the additional cost of 2 1-2 pounds of salt which must also be added. As the ingredients are most carefully proportioned and mixed in our SAVE TROUBLE at a cost to you of only 80 cents a barrel over the best patent flours sold in this city,you will see that on every 48 pound sack of SAVE TROUBLEyou actually effect a sav- ing of 30 cents. As a flour of quality you will appreci- ate its worth when we tell you thata number of housewives have advised us that in the future they never expect to be without Save Trouble.They have a reason—two reasons in fact—QUAL- ITY and PRICE.Isn’t it worth while your investigation.‘Phone to your grocer for a 24 pound sack today.You will save 15 cents in your purchase and get a flour that is without an equal on this market.

In the case of the City of Ashe- villé against H.L.Nettles,president of the Buncombe County Dairymen’s Association,Judge Frank Carter of the Superior Court nas rendered a decision in favor of the city. The suit was a test case in which the dairymen fonght the payment of the special privilege tax of $1 a head on all cattle in herds supplying Asheville consumers with milk.The owners of the Buncombe dairies con- tended that the tax was unconstitu- tional in that they are not residents of the city and are not liable to city taxes.The judge’s holding,however, was that the city has a right to levyataxuponallfirmsorindividuals doing business within the city limits.The dairymen appealed.

Grayson,United States navy,the President’s physician and companion, Then there was a merry dinner,an affectionate goodbye and the couple whirled away in a White House car on their honeymoon.Their destina- tion was kept secret,but in a few days they will go to Europe and re- turn early in January to Williams-town,Mass.,where Mr.Sayre will be assistant to President Garfield of Williams College. The ceremony was performed tyRev.Dr.Sylvester W.Beach of Princeton,N.J.,a Presbyterian min- ister,assisted by the groom’s broth- er,Rev.John Nevin Sayre,an Epis- copal minister.As the Marine band spread through the White House,the strains of the bridal chorus from Lohengrin,the groom,accompanied by Dr.Wilfred T.Grenfell,his best man,walked slowly to the altar.The ushers led the bridal procession in twos—Charles Evans Hughes,Jr., and Dr.Gilbert Horrax,Dr.Dewitt Scovill Clark and Benjamin Burton.

The bride’s train was rather long} and finished square.It was a soft, lustrous white satin that blended well with her blonde hair and fair com- plexion.The service was a unique combination of the Episcopalian and Presbyterian forms.In the latter the word “obey”is not included the promise of “to love,honor obey”but upon the bride's request it was inseried.
