THE PAY OF |.LEGISLATORS. House Fixes Amount at $6 Per Day and Ten Cents Mileage-—-States- ville Local Bills Passed-—Alleged Sneak Bill Causes Stir.; In committee of the whole Wed- nesday the House discussed the con- local legislation and finally referred it to the judiciary committees of both houses to clear up legal tangles.By a vote of 74 to 31 the House decided to make the pay of legislators $6 per diem,the presiding officers $8 and to allow mileage at ten-cents each way. The amendment would give legisla- tors pay for only 60 days of the regu- lation session. Many local and passed. In the Senate bills were introduc- ed:To increase the time before de- murrage on cars shall be charged from 24 to 48 hours;to require rail- roads to furnish weights of car load shipments of melons (both bills pass- ed);to amend the charter of States- ville;to provide for a road bond is- sue of $100,000 for Alexander county. A resolution was adopted that nonewbillsbeintroducedintheSen- ate after October 2 except those bear- ing on the constitutional amendments or the rate matters. The Senate tabled the bill to make the good roads days,November 5 and 6,legal holidays.Senator McLean led the opposition in the interest of the farmers,he said.Senator Pharr could see no necessity for the bill and Senator Wakefield added his protest. Bills authorizing a graded school bond election in Statesville and amending the charter of Statesville, passed. Bill Changing Wilkes From Seventh to Eighth District. A stir was created in legislative circles Wednesday night,says a dis- patch to the Charlotte Observer,when it was found that the House had, without knowing it,passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would take Wilkes county from the seventh con- gressional district and restore it to the eighth,the scheme behind the attempted legislation being allerwed to be to upset the political complexion of the two districts and restore the eighth to the Republican column.It is charged to be a “sneak bill”and was introduced by Representative Bumgarner of Wilkes and the House passed it without reading it on the assurance,it is said,of Mr.Bum- warner that it was a local bill af- fecting his county. Senator Daniel of Halifax was run- ning through the bills for the Senate calendar and found it.Its title is “A bill to be entitled an act relative to Wilkes county,to repeal chapter 593, public laws of 1913.”Chapter 593isrelativetotheboardofcountyeommissioners_of Wilkes and alloy- ances for clerk hire by the commis- sioners.There is another.section tothebillthatproeeeds->'tto\specify that the section of the Jaw az to con- gressional districts thdt puts Wilkes county in the seventh district be amended so as to restore Wilkes to the eighth district. Leaders of the Democratic side of the House declared that they would call Representative Bumgarner to ac- count yesterday morning for thispieceofattemptedlegislation.Mr. Bumgarner’s friends insist that they do not believe he knew of this feature of the bill,and hint that he has been duped ‘as well as his Democratic col- leagues..Representative Bumgarner made a statement in which,fo ‘fm Wemo- rats as well as Republicans had sug- gested the.bill,inghading J.M.Wel- born,but.that he assumed full re- “sponsibility and was willing to take the odium if any be attached by the House.He assured the House that no other bill of his in process of en- actment had any bearing on public matters as this one did.The House adopted a motion for the appoint- ment of a committee of five to in- vestigate the conduct of Representa- tive Bumgarner and report to the House. bills were introduced The judiciary committees of both houses wrestled:with the constitu- tional amendment to eliminate local legislation and amended it in some particulars. Will Arrange For Creamery Routes. At the meeting held in the Com- mercial club rooms Tuesday night in the interest of the creamery project,it was decided to immediately place men in the field to work up and es- tablish cream routes leading into Statesville for the purpose of begin- ning shipments of cream to the Ca- tawba Co-operative Creamery at Hickory.Those who will be sent out to establish.the routes and arrange for'the operation of wagons have notasyetbeenselected,but it is the pur- pose to assign one man to a certainrouteandlethimmakeallthear- rangements toward the~establish- ment of that particular route.Once thé cream wagons are started there is little doubt that many more cows in addition to those already secured will be pledged to their support,andcafterthechecksforthecreambegintoreachthepatronsoftheroutesthe advantages of the arrangement willberealized, 0.A.Snipes,whose nomination aspostmasteratRockyMountwaslonghelduponaccountofchargesagainsthim,has been confirmed and wilisoonbesafeonthejob. ° ty woman serving a sentence of 15 certains THE DIFFERENCES IN CAUCUS. Six Democrats Voted in Caucus Against Conference Report—Bill Expected to Get Through the Sen-ate Yesterday.A Disaffection among Democratic Senators,which Wednesday prevent- ed final action on the tariff bill,was dissipated under the influence of a heated caucus discussion and Wed- nesday evening the caucus approvedthebillasreportedbytheconference committee of the House and Senate.Six Democrats voted against approv-ing the report.The caucus.decidedtoabandonitspositiononthepropo- sition in the,bill to tax dealings incottonfuturésandleavetheentire subject for later legislative action. After the caucus Senator Simmons said he was confident the Senatewouldcompleteitsconsiderationof the’bill yesterday.He said a motion would be made first to agree to the conference report and that then he would move’to disagree to the Un- derwood cotton tax amendment and also to recede.from the Senateamendment.With the bill thus djs-posed of by the Senate,the House probably would agree to stop the cot- ton futures tax provision and send the tariff bill to the President. Wednesday’s caucus battled loud and long over various provisions in the bill.Chief among these was the tax of $1.10 a gallon on grape brandy used to fortify sweet wines,against which Senator Pomerene of Ohio voiced strenuous protest;the differ- ential between wire rope and wire incompleted cables,which as fixed by the conference,aroused the opposi- tion of Senators Reed of Missouri and Hughes of New Jersey,and the arrangement of the paragraph includ- ing castiron pipe. Senator Simmons,in charge of the bill,moved that the conference re- port be accepted.His motion was carried by a vote of 33 to 6.Senators Reed,Pomerene,Vardaman,Hollis, O’Gorman and Hughes voted against it. Senators who supported the Clarke amendment taxing cotton futures ex- pressed strong objection to the ad- ministration substitute and declared they would prefer to allow the entire matter to go over for special legisla- tion rather than accept the Under-wood provision.This plan was fin- ally adopted. Senate Passes Tariff Measure Washington Dispatch,2d.The Democratic tariff revision bill probably will be in the hands of Pres- ident Wilson for bis signature tomor- row night.The Senate passed the conference report tonight by a vote of 36 to 17,only four more than the necessary quorum of the Senate. Senator LaFollette,Republican, and Poindexter,Progressive,voted for the conference report as they did for the bill on its passege and Sena- tors Ransdell and Thornton,Demo- crats of Louisiana,voted against it as they did against the bill.Other- wise it was a strict party vote. Immediately after the pas of the conference report,acting on mo- tions by Chairman.Simmons of the Finance Committee,the Senate re- jected the:Smith-Lever .compromise. cotton futures ta amendment passed by the House™¥nesday,and then receded from its own amond- ment known as the Clarke cotton futures tax plan.The cotton fu- tures question,therefore,ig outrof the tariff bill so far as the Senate is con- cerned.he bill will be returned House early”Somorrow. sage to the a Association.

Sensible Health Observations Schools. Bulletin State Board of Health. Here is a plan being adopted in Minnesota.It is to have the rural schools themselves*inaugurate and carry on school inspection by non-medical health surveys,made by the teachers.No community,they feel, need wait for the employment of a medical officer in order to begin sen-sible health observation of school children. They have the children write out answers to a series of simple ques-tions,relating to schoolreom hygiene and the condition of the pupils them-selves.Some can be answered by the teacher,some by the rent,but most of them by the pupil.Here are some examples of the questions: “Is damp sweeping practiced?” “Are all windows thrown open at re- cess?”“Are parents notified of phys- For ical defects?”“How often do you have headache?”“Do you snore?” “Do you breathe through your mouth?”“How many colds have you had since school opened?” Now there is something that looks pragticable.It could easily be putin‘practice at any or our rural schools in North Carolina that have not already some such system in use.

Scotch Irish Township Voted Against Bonds. By a vote of 90 to 23,Scotch Irish township,Rowan county,Wednesday decided against a bond issue-of $20,- 000 for good roads.A special from Salisbury to the Charlotte Observer, giving the result of the election,said: “Many of those who voted against fort inlet,near Morehead City,Sun-|the,issue contend that it is not good day morning by J.G.Darden of policy for the townships to issueGreensboro,who in company with bonds at present,but favor an issue by the county as a whole.” And they began to make excuse. If it had been a county bond issue the township method would have been favored. What Constitutes a Lie, John Ruskin.

Asheville Citizen. Imagine a city conducted on such a business-like basis that it declares a dividend of six per cent,yet this is what actually happened at Fargo, N..D.,according to the World’s WorkforOctober,which says that late in 1912 the mayor of Fargo made the extraordinary’announcement that thecityhaddeclaredadividendof6per cent.At first no one seemed to un- derstand -what was meant,but theexplanationwasofferedsoonafter- watd that during the year the city had saved qbout $10,000,which it hadbeen.decided to,refund to the tgx-Se eeanseasments.‘The dividend was pal in-cash a few months ago,and it stands an exeeptional achievement in efficiency and etonomy of city admin-* istration.‘ As far as the Citizen knows,thiisthefirstinstanceonrecordwhere the taxpayers ever received anything back from the municipal till,’yet such a condition is the sequence of anon-partisan government,conducted. as a business enterprise,an enter- prise wherein’the taxpayer is a stockholder.We do not hold out theprospectofsuchanElDoradofor every city where non-partisan,or commission government,may be es- tablished;we only cite the case ofFargotosupporttheclaimsooftenmadethatifitmakesfornothing else a non-partisan government is apowerfulfactorineconomicmunici- pal administration. “Pious Jigs”in Sunday School and Church Services, Charity and Children.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS Some of the legislators whosenameshavebeen.published as pass- toters got all “het up”about it.Bet- ter be calm.If having the pass is proper there,should be ‘ho objection to the fact /being known-+in fact,The Landmark thinks it is best for all concerned that the facts should be made public.The people are nat- urally suspicious of secrecy. - We've had State-wide prohibition for five years,we have search an seizure laws and other statutes bear- ing ‘on the enforcement of prohibi- tion,but still they introduce bills intheLegislaturetoprohibitthesale of intoxicants within certain dis- tances of certain churches.If they don’t enforce the State law,how will local statutes help?| Tom Mann,a British labor leader who has invaded the United States, said at a meeting in St.Louis that the worli is facing an “economic rev- olution,”and further: “The all-important purpose end the immediate aim of the movement I am advocating is the reduction of the hours of work internationally.Our ultimate aim is_a six-hour day and a five-and-a-half day working week. This eventually will eliminate unem- ployment.”As one individual who has worked from 12 to 16 hours per day for about 25 yéars,the editor of The Land- mark would be glad to welcome even a weekly half holiday—if Mr.Mann can show us how to take it and get on. **+ Taking note of the proposition of the Kinston grdded schools to have the “children do more work in the schoolroom,where the teacher can help them,and less work at home, where the help must come from the parent if the parent is able to give it,the Charlotte Observer,which is in sympathy with the plan,says: “Not long ago a parent in Charlotte came to the Observer office with sev- eral ‘lessons’in grammar,arithme— tic and Latin he was expected to weave out by the home fireside for d|points out. court in High Point..to the work-house in Greensboro and were put toworkonthestreetshackledlikeoth-er prisoners,The sight of boys working shackled on the streetsarousedmuchsentiment,the author-ities were criticised and the boys re-moved,Evangelist Crabtree —men-tioned this incident,said he had a picture of these boys at»work inshacklesandwoulduseittoillus-trate prison conditions,The Char- lotte,Observer thinks this unfair,asthepictureportrayedahincidentof edied and docs not show .conditionsasthey‘really exist.The misrepre-sentation is worse than the ObserverTheGreensboroRecord says the boys were sons of a HighPointminister,a most excellent man, and were incorrigible.«Having ex- hausted every remedy he could de- vise to restrain them,their father asked the High Point recorder tosendthemtotheGreensborowork- house,and he also warned the au- thorities that they would escape un- less forcibly restrained.With such advice as this coming from the fa- ther,the boys were shackled.The shackling.may not*have been justi- fied even under these circumstances, but ins view of.them due allowance should be made for the Greensboro authorities;and Mr.Crabtree will be very unfair and will misrepresent conditions unless he states all these facts when he shows the pictures. There is abundant room for re- form in prison conditions,and.espe- cially in convict camps.It has been the custom in the past to look upon prisoners and inmates of county homes as people who had no rights and were not entitled to considera-tion.There has been some improve- ment and more is needed.Mr.Crab- tree is doubtless doing a good work; but like too many reformers,he is over-zealous and permits sentiment and zeal to run away with good judg- ment.The Greensboro affair will not help him in his work,for here- after what he says will be discount- ed.The child labor agitators,engag- ed in.a good work,have hurt their cause in the same way.We sympa- thize with the zeal of the reformers —so many reforms are needed—but when their zeal becomes so acute that they misrepresent actual conditions, the benefit of his offspring,and dis- cussing the lay-out,was inclined to | be indignant that the teacher should| throw such a job on his shoulders.| The Landmark advocates a cutting| out of about 25 per cent of the studies,| more work in the schoolroom andj} less work at home as a step in the} reformation of graded school educa-| tion.But women are getting on the| boards,and for one the Observer pro-| poses to possess its soul in patience for the ‘coming of improved condi-| tions in the schoolroom.”i But unfortunately there is no} early prospect of women getting on graded school boards.The law passed | by the last Legislature permits wo-| men to be appointed on county scheol| committees,these positions not being an office within the mezcning of the law.But in most if not all the towns and cities the members of the school| boards are elected by the voters; hence the position is an office and one to which women are not eligible |unless they have the ballot.| *e | } Anent the list of legislators and State .officers who ride on railroad passes,published in another column,| it is but fair to state that such men| as W.C.Dowd,M.L.Shipman,T./ G.Cobb and probably others in the} list,have passes ag newspaper editors and that these passes are by no means | free passes.They are paid for in|} newspaper advertising at space rates,| the transportation being accepted in|} lieu of so much cash;and the recip- ient,having paid for the transporta tion,is under no obligations to the railroad.The Landmark has never| fancied this.method of doing bétsi- ness,but it is only fair to the gen-| tlemen named to state the,facts.| Thére are also in the list some men| and some who have passes as railroad | attorneys.These.men can say and/probably will say that the pass is.a| nopastinn Ther j “nestion 3m ser-| vice corporation or employed by a} public service corporation are compe-| tent to pass as public servants ‘on|} measures affecting property in which| they are personally interested as of- ficials or employes.They wouldn’t be permitted to sit on a jury under the same circumstances,but we're ii | why State officers who are not di-| rectors of or attorneys for corpora |Days \The “Good Roads Days ;ed as “days of festival,to celebrate who have passes as railroad directors jotism, —>whewer nién “or-)- ficially connected with a public they retard the commendable work in which they are engaged.Moreover, while prisons and convict camps should be sanitary and )comfortable and prisoners should be treated hu- manely,it must be remembered,as the Iredell jailor told his prisoners on one.occasion,that these places are not places of pleasure.They donot want to be made so inviting,that the inmates will want to stay there. FOR ROADACALL WORKING. Gov.Craig Names November 5 and 6 Good Roads Days and Asks All Able-Bodied Men to Get Busy. Declaring that the people of North Carolina lose $12,000,000 annually be- cause of,the poor condition of the State’s highways,Governor Craig has issued a proclamation designating November 5 and 6 as “Good Roads ”and calls on all patriotic peo- ple throughout the State to work up- on the public roads of the State on those days.The Governor points out that the modern highway is essen- tial to the material prosperity and social advancement of every com- munity,and declares the country has awakened to the importance of.im-proved roads, Characterizing the vast sum lost annually to North Carolina through lack of good roads as “a tribute paid to mud,”Governor Craig’s prorla- mation calls upon every able-bodied man “to shoulder his shovel,march out and strike a blow fyr progress.” sare appoint- the beginning of a new era wherein improved highways shall be built ipevery-neighborhaod.” Summoning the people of every station to ‘answer the call of patri- the proclamation calls on the “farmer,the merchant,the lawyer, the doctor,the minister of the Gos- pel,the rich apd the poor,to -emljst as volunteers in this mich+~o-~=- rena tem nana Man heTE.” The work »will be organiged and conducted in a systematic maiiner,50 that at the end of the second day every community in thé State.will show permanent road improvements.

The Democratic tariff revision billlefttheHousetodayonwhatlead-ers hoped would be its fast’journeytotheSenate.‘After many’hoursofdebatethe.House adopted the main conference agreement on thebill,254 to 103,almost astrict par- ty vote,and by this action gave itsendorsementtoeverythinginthe measure»except the cotton futures tax.'

The tariff bill came in for warm praise from all Democrats.Repre sentative Underwood declared its av erage rates were lower than cither the House or Senate originally had contemplated.He insisted there would be little halt to business prog ress or.prosperity. Speaker Clark took the floor in the last moments before the vote to con gratulate the President,Representa-| tive Underwood and the Democrati party in general upon the success of | the tariff programme.“The Under-| wood tariff bill will in my judgment prove to be the best tariff bill ever passed in this country,”said Mr, Clark. Mr.Underwood _admitted that he personally would have preferred to have the cotton futures question dealt with separately but said the compromise amendment~would be greatly preferable to the Clarke amendment because the former would regulate cotton exchanges while the latter simply tried to tax gambling in futures out of existence Wages in the Textile Industries. Wages in the cotton,woolen and silk manufacturing industries of the United States during the past 23 years have increased to a oonsidera- ble extent,while the nominal full time hours per week for the principal occupations combined have decreas- ed,according to the Bureau of Labor Statisties..These industries employ approximately 333,000 persons. As regards recent years,wages in the eottoh industry were 4.5 per cenoweriy1909thanin1907;uel 1909 they advanced.continuously. The nominal full time hours per week in the principal occupations com- bined,not including finishing in the cotton industry,for 1912 showed small decreases. Two Silly Stories. Charlotte Observer. The talk of Governor Craig hav-, ing any intention of profiting by his activities in the freight matter to the extent of step-stoning it toward theUnitedStatessenatorship,.is about as silly as the story about Simmons’as- pirations for the presidency.

One of the bills intréduced in the Senate,by Peterson of Sampson,provides for the segregation of the races and is applied to cities and towns only,and the governing bodies of the respective municipalities can adopt the system prescribed at will. The plan is for the municipal au- thorities to adopt the segregated dis- tricts plan and set aside specific squares for the colored race,no dis-trict to comprise less than all the property included in a square from street to street.The segregation is applicable to places for public gather- ings as well as residences.As soon as the town adopts the plan,there must be a map prepared of the dis- tricts.

The joint committee on constitu- ticnal amendments gave 4 lengthy hearing Tuesday aiternoon to rep- reSentatives of the mercantile inter- ests of the State on an amendment that they desire to the cunstitution, article X,as to personal exemption of $500 homestead.They want the Stipulation that the General Assem- bly can enact a garnishment law to apply to the payment of detbs to the extent of ten per cent of the wayes or income of the debtor,where the income is $10 a week or more.Also they would amend the second section of article J by providing that the $1,000 real estate exemption shall not extend to persons nct heads of families or one who has not cne de endent him,or one whose wife has the homestead in her own name. Those who advocated the amendment pleaded for protection from dishon- est debtors and urged that,while the present homestead exemption pro- tected some worthy unfortunates,it gives a chance for fraud by a great on number ot dishonest men.They ar- gued that the amendments would give strength to the whole collection of amendments proposed to be sub- mitted.A number of the members of the committee manifested hostili- ty but voting was deferred.

FRIDAY,---October 3,1913. SOME INTRA »«STATE RATES. Speaking at the mass meeting of the Just Freight Rate Association in Raleigh last week,Dr.Alexander, president of the State Farmers’Un- ion,expressed the opinion that the corporation commsission had been asleep at the post so far as intra- State rates,in which the commis- sion has jurisdiction,are concerned. As.an instance Dr.Alexander said he had shipped from Winston-Salem to Matthews,Mecklenburg county, 50 bushels of rye.He was charged a rate of 38 cents—$10.64—for the shipment.-He-could have.shipped the same rye from Richmond at 20 cents per 100.When this was published the corporation commission laughed scornfully,The rate from Winston- Salem to Matthews,they said,was only 12 3-4 cents,Dr.Alexander had been overcharged and was due a re- fund of $7.07.Somebody,according to the newspaper reports,said he would give $5 for the bill of lading, thus trying to cast doubt on Dr.Alex- ander’s statement. Well,Dr.Alexander was back in Raleigh this week and he had the bill of lading.He not only showed that the facts were as stated,but that he had complained and after investiga- tion ‘he was told that the “seed rye” had been classified as “rye seed”and was thus subject to the higher rate; that if he would write the shipper and have him make affidavit that the rye”and notshipmentwas“seed “rye seed”the excess charge would be He wrote the shipper and Thus on a refunded. had not heard from him. technicality Dr. sessed three times the regular rate.

But there are many instances of inequalities in intra-State,rates not due to overcharging.In ship- ments of lumber the Inter-State Com- merce Commission allows a weight of three pounds to the foot;the State corporation commission allows™four pounds,A car of lumber shipped from Statesville to Richmond*would be charged for at the rate of 30,000 pounds,under the inter-State ruling. Shipped to High Point or anywhere in the State the same car would be charged for at the rate of 40,000 pounds—10,000 pounds additional. There would seem to be no reason why intra-State shipments should not,in this respect,conform to inter State shipments,but the corporation commission has refused to make the change,although asked do Some classes of freight can be shipped from Taylorsville via Statesville to Elmwood,seyen’miles east of States- ville,for 8 Cents,while.the rate gn See epods~to Stetesville .is,+” cents.Thé rateon dried fruitfrom Tay- lorsville to*Stateéville,20 miles,is 16 cents;from Taylorsville to Richmond, 282 miles,thé rate is 32 cents.For more than 17 times the distance,the rate is only double. Recently Major John D.Shaw of Rockingham ‘bought an automobile and the freight from Detroit,Mich. to Rockingham was $45.Major Shaw drove that machine to Asheville and decided to ship it home by freight. From Asheville to Rockingham the freight was $76. Is it any wonder,in view of these facts,that the business men who know these inequalities,are clamor- to 80. ing for a separate rate commission, composed of business men,to be ap- pointed by the able at his pleasure,who can and will do something about those rates? iieensemencmeegunemesieumantaniensets With a view doubtless of discredit- ing him on account of his activity inpublicmatters,the report has been Started that Dr.Alexander,president of the State Farmers’Union,wants to be State Treasurer.Taking noteofthereport,Dr.Alexander s2ys:This is a bit of gossip without foun- dation.I am not and will not be a candidate for State Treasurer,Neith-er am I a candidate for anypoliticaloffice;and as far as other any time.

The proposed amendment simply provides that the reading of the Bi- ble in the public schools shall not be prohibited,».It does not provide that the Bible shall be read or taught in the schools,but simply that the reading shall not’be prohibited.As The Landmark sees it,this would leave the matter optional with the people of the different communities. A surprising amount of opposition to the amendment developed.among ministers and prominent laymen, who seemed to see in the measure an interference on the part of the State in matters of religion.The Landmark is unable to see it that way.Fear is expressed,too,that the amendment would start an agi- tation that would be harmful.The Landmark may be mistaken,but it is inclined to believe that the agi- tation on this subject has just begun. One argument against the amend- ment was that the rights of Catholics and Jews would be invaded in fore- ing their children to listen to read- ing of the Protestant Bible.Inas- much as the Bible is read in nearly if not all the schools now,this ob- jection would not seem to be sound. But if it is,how about Sabbath ob- servance laws?Under present laws Jews and Seventh Day Adventists are compelled”to the first day of the week when they hold that the seventh is the true Sabbath,and Adventists have been sent to jail for violating this law. observe The recorder of Charlotte is doing the right thing,in order to break up pistol-toting,by giving straight road sentences to every offender that is haled before his court,Besides the hip-pocket is for some other pur- pose,which purpose we leave for easy inference.—Wilmington Dis- patch.

READY FOR THE INCOME TAX. i 3—Un-cle Sam Will Demand a Share-——-—-Method of Estimating and Col- lecting.,‘ Washington Dispatch, According to estimates by Treasuryexperts,425,000.American ¢itizens must keep such accurate account oftheirincomesthis‘year that they will be able to report to the income taxcollectornextspringexactlyhow much they owe the government un-der the new income tax law.So far as the taxable American is concerned the income law now virtu- ally is in force against him.While under the tariff bill the first returns do not have to be made to the in- ternal revenue |collectors before March 1,1914,when the returns are made they will cover the income of citizens from March 1,~1913,to De- cember 31. Every single person (citizen or for- eign resident)whose annual income exceeds $3,000,and.every married person with an income of more than $4,000,will have to report receipts in detail to government agents MarchTheestimate.indi-cates that the income tax will pro- duce $82,298,000.To this will he added the $35,000,000 or more.pro- duced by the present corporation tax, which is continued as part of the law. President Wilson,Federal judges oftheSupremeandinferiorcourtsnow holding office,and employes of a “State or any political subdivision thereof,”are the only persons specifically excepted from the tax by the new law.Their successors in of- fice will be compelled to pay the tax. Methods of Collecting. Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained in the law.One is the individual return,made by the citizen;the other,returns by cor- porations and other employers who pay their employes’taxes “at the source.”Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson this week,every large company employ- ing labor will be compelled to report any regular salaries it pays in excess of the $3,000 figures and will pay the taxes for its employes and deduct the tax from their pay envelopes. In figuring up his net income for the tax collector the American busi- ness man,after deducting $3,000 for himself,or $4,000 if married,will have the right to claim the follow- ing additional exemptions: Necessary expenses of carrying on business,not including personal liv-% ing or family expenses;interest paid out on indebtedness;national,State, county,school or municipal taxes paid within the year;trade losses or storm or fire losses not covered by insur- ance;worthless debts charged off during the year;a reasonable allow- ance for the depreciation of property; dividends from companies whose in- \come already has been taxed;interest from State,municipal or government bonds;exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the Federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonableness or legality. The amount of the income tax as finally agreed on follows:From $8, 600 to $20,000,1 per cent;from $20,- 000 to $50,000,2 per cent;$50,000 to $75,000,3 per cent;$75,000 to $100,- 000,4 per cent.;$100,000 to $250,000, 5 per cent;$250,000 to $500,000,6 per cent;above $500,000 7 per cent. Mr.Hull Explains It. Congressman Hull of Tenne the author of the income tax section of the tariff law,makes this explan ation of the measure: “The income tax is divided into two phases,the ‘normal’tax of 1 per cent on the whole income above °$3,- 000 and the additional tax that be- gins with an extra one per cent above $20,000 and is graduated to six per cent above $500,000.Wherever the income tax is paid ‘at the source’by a corporation for its emplpyes or in similar cases,only the one per cent normal is so paid.The individual has to pay any additional tax himself.

Timothy«L."Woodruff,formerLieutenantGovernorofNewYork, Republi¢an,was stricken with paraly-sis Monday night just as he had con-cluded a speech,at a political meet- ing in Carnegie hall,New York tity. The death of one of the wounded in the Sunday riot “at Harriston, Miss.,when two negroes,brothers, ran amuck and shot up the town, brings the death list up to 11—eight negroes and three whites.The list includes the two negroes who started the riot,both being killed. Representative Henry George of New York,who desired to recom- mend several negroes in his district for appointment to Federal offices, called at the White House to learn President Wilson’s attitude on such appointments.Mr.Wilson told the New York.Representative to ascer- tain the sentiment of members of the Senate on that qustion. Horses and saddles,hay and other feed stuffs intended for the Mexican Federal army or the revolutionists, are not munitions of war and may be exported from the United States into Mexico without restriction.This de- cision was given by Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury Hamlin ‘in in- terpreting of the President’s proc- lamation of March 4,1912,forbid- ding the exportation of munitions of war to Mexico. The woman arrested in New York last week on the supposition that she was Mrs.Elizabeth Van B.Nich- ols,wanted in Wilmington,N.C., for swindling,but who said she was Frances Levy,was released after witnesses failed to identify her as Mrs.Nichols.Immeciately after she was released Mrs.Levy brought suit against Mrs.Lemessena of West Philadelphia,who caused her arrest, for $50,000 damages for false impris- onment.

Senator Thompson recently intro- dueed and the Legislature has pass- ed a bill to refund certain bonded in- debtedness of the city of Statesville. This provides for the refunding of $8,000 of bonds issued October Ist, 1888,to pay for the Statesville elec- trie light plant.The bonds,which bore 6 per cent interest and were bought by the First National Bank of Statesville,were to run for 25 years.They are now due and as no prevision has been made for their payment,it is necessary to issue oth- er bonds to take them up—to renew the note,so to speak. The new bill authorizes the may- or and board of aldermen of States- ville to issue $8,000 of new bonds to take up,the $8,000 now due,the new bonds to bear interest at a rate not exceeding 5 1-2 per cent,to date from October Ist,1913,and to runfor25years.The bill also provides that the aldermen shall have powertolevyataxof5centsonthe$100ofpropertyand15centsonthepollteprovidefortheinterestonthebeadsandtocreateasinkingfund.

Former Senator Cullom was the rul- ing spirit in turning down these re- quests,but it is probable now that requests of this sort will be dealt with more leniently.At any rate,the hon- or will be no less if the token cannot be accepted.

SIGNING THE TARIFF BILL. Gathe at the White House For tne Final Act—President Wilson’s Remarks—Just at the Half Way House—The Currency Next. Washington Dispatch,3d. Surrounded by leaders of a united Democracy,President Wilson at 9:09 o'clock tonight signed the Under- wood-Simmons tariff bill at the White House.Simultaneously tele- grams were sent to customs collec tors throughout the country by the Treasury Department,putting into actual operation the first Democratic tariff revision since 1894. A happy group of legislators,mem- bers of the cabinet and friends en- circled the President as he smilingly sat down and slowly affixed his sig- nature with two gold pens.He pre- sented the pen that had written the word “Woodrow”to Representative Underwood and the one that com- pleted his name to Senator Simmons, both of whom bowed their apprecia- tion, In-impressive silence the-President rose and delivered in easy,natural tones an extemporaneous speech that brought prolonged applause.He de- clared the journey of legislative ac- complishment had not.been complet- ed;that a great servicehad been done for the rank and file of the country, but that the second step in the eman- cipation pf business was currency re- form.He!earnestly called upon his colleagues to go “the rest of the jour- ney”with fresh impulse. “Gentlemen I feel a very peculiar pleasure,”said the President,“in what I have just done by way of tak- ing part in the completion of a great piece of business.It is a pleasure which is very hard to express in words which are adequate to express the feeling;because the feeling that I have is that we have done the rank and file of the people of this country a great service.It is hard to speak of these things without seeming to go off into campaign eloquence,but that is not my feeling.Tt is one very pro- found,a feeling of profound grati- tude that working with the splendid men who have carried this thing through with studious attention and doing justice all round,I should have had part in serving the people of this country,as we have been striving to serve them ever since I can remem ber.“T have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy and’know men standing’around me who can say the same thing,who have been waiting to see the things done which it was nec- essary to do in order that there might be justice in the United States;and so it is a solemn moment that brings such a business to a conclusion and I hope I will not be thought to be demanding too much of myself or of my colleagues,when I say that this, great as it is,is the accomplishment of half the journey.We have set the business of this country free from tose conditions which have made monopoly not only possible,but in a sense easy and natural.But thereisnousetakingawaytheconditions of monopoly if we do not take away also the power to create monopoly; and it is financial rather than a mere- ly circumstantial and econorttic pow er.‘ “The power to control and guide and direct the credits of the country is the power to say who shall and who shall not build up the industries of the country,in which direction they shall be built and in which direction they shall not be built.We are now about to take the second step,which will be the final step in setting the ests crowded about the President's lesk,“fT chose 9-0’clock,”explained thePresidentslowly,“on the advice oftheAttorneyGeneral,that the billmightbesignedafterbusinesstrans-actions everywhere,including SanFrancisco,had closed for the day.“1 will not say anything about the bill,”he added with a smile,“until I have signed it.I don’t want it togetawayfromme.”The President had not intended tomakealongspeechandhadnoteven prepared a statement,but was movedonthespurofthemomenttoex- press his gratification.) The small but distinguished audi-ence that heard the President’s speechcrowdedabouthimafterward.with congratulations.Leading figures of the Democratic party-Speaker Clark, Secretary Bryan and Representative Underwood—stood together,sponsors with the President for the first busi-ness piece of legislation that had been accomplished in the Democratic pro- gramme of reform.They gave the President their personal congratula-tions and reiterated promises of sup- ort.r While the President Was surround- ed by members of his official family,there was none happier than Joseph R.Wilson,younger brother of the Chief Exccutive,who came here from Baltimore to witness the sign- ing.Mrs.Wilson and daughters still are at Cornish,N.H.,the summer capital.Besides the officials a large num- ber of.newspaper men crowded into the President’s office.There was an informal reception for a few minutes and.then the Underwood-Simmons tariff law was carried away to the De-partment of State and deposited in the archives along with other historic pieces of legislation. Hurried Through the Last Day. The speed with which Congress dis- posed of the last work on the tariff bill and sent the measure to the White House demonstrated the anx- iety of House and Senate to get through with the burden that has held them in continuous session since April.The bill came into the House today as soon as that body met.For more than an hour the House debated as to what action it should take,some arguing that no further action was necessary,while others insisted the House must recede from its compro- mise cotton futures tax,Speaker Clark finally upheld the latter con- tention and the House quickly voted the cotton tax out of the tariff bill. The last vote was reached at 1:23 and at 1:25 the Speaker had affixed his name to the completed bill and within 10 minutes Chief Clerk Jerry South had carried it to the Senate and it had been signed by Vice Presi- dent Marshall.Clerks of the Senate then took charge of the bill and con- veyed it to the White House The relief of both houses at the termination of the tariff fight was apparent.Scores of members of Senate and House had left the city yesterday and there was less than a quorum present in the House when final action was taken.Only extra- ordinary efforts of Senate leaders kept enough Senators in town to ena- ble that body to work today on the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. Many members left Washington to- night although both houses of Con- gress will remain constructively in session. The final steps taken by the House to complete the tariff bill did not in- volve rates or principles.Republi- cans and Democrats concurred in the action of receding from the cotton futures tax,agreeing that no ques- tions should be left open to future attack in the courts.It generally is understood that a determined effort will be made as soon as the new Con- business of this country free.That is what we shall do in the currency |bill,which th®.House has already| passed and*which I have the utmost| confidence the Senate will pass much sooner than some pessimistic individ-uals believe:Because the question,| now that this piece of work.is done,| will arise all over the country,for what do we.wait?Why should we} r Jyes with.san} n re We mene nying:that we do not wish to com- plete our success? “T.was quoting:to some of my col-|leagues in the Senate,those lines| from Shakespeare,which have al- Ways appealed to me—‘If it be a sin| to covet honor,then am I the most| offending soul alive,’and I am happy} to say that I do not covet it for my- self alone.I covet it with equal ar-| dor for the men who are associated| with me and the honor is going to| come from them.I am their asso-| ciate.I can only complete the work| which they do.I can only counsel | gress convenes for the regular sion in Décember,if not before then, to take up cotton futures tax legisla- tion and to endeavor to pass @ sepa rate bill. ses- Fire Prevention Day and Its Pur- poses.

North Wilkesboro Hustler.= While spending last week at the home of Mr.N.E.Parlier at Ronda,’ a colored nurse of Mrs.W.H.McEl- wee of Statesville is charged with havine helped herself to the jewelry of the household.Then after discov- ering that,this jewelry had disap- peared,Miss Fan Cranor,who had been with them,thought that per- haps a gold piece which she carried in her -handbag-should be looked -af- Colored ter.On investigation it was not there. The Holston Conference Metho- dist Episcopal Church,South,last week unanimously voted to endorse the action of the Céllege of Bishops and of the minority of the Board of Trust of Vanderbilt University in de- clining to accept an offer of $1,000,- 000 from Andrew Carnegie for Van- derbilt University’s medical school. The resolution expresses “regret that the térms of said gift as set forth in Mr.Carnegie’s letter were such that it could not be accepted with honor.’ WOMANA GREAT SUFFERER Tells How She Was Restored To Health by Lydia E.

TUESDAY,---October 7,1918. ™.HE WRONG VIEW. Chairman Travis of the State’cor- poration commission*was to be heard yesterday by legislative committees in opposition to the bill to create a public service commission separate from the corporation commission.It is all right for the members of the corporation commission to answer charges of negligence on their part and’to show what they have done. But The Landmark confesses that it cannot understand the violent opposi- tion of the commissioners and their friends in this matter.It is not pro- posed to legislate the commissioners out of office;but it is contended,and with reason as The Landmark sees it,that they cannot give proper at- tention to all the work committed to them.For this reason it is urged that the public service corporations be placed in other hands,so that these can be given direct personal atten- tion at all times;and that the pres- ent commission continue its work as a State tax commission,having over- sight also of the banks,etc.Last winter when an effort was made to create a separate State tax commis- sion,the corporation commissioners opposed it.It seems to The Land- mark that if the people of the State think that a part of the work of the corporation could transferred to other hands with ad- vantage to the public,the commis- sioners should accede,whatever their personal views.It would result in their having less work to do.It is all right to answer charges of in- competency negligence,which some have made,but aside from that the opposition of the commissioners te a change in their work seems to The Landmark to be improper. commission be or Gev.Craig’s proclamation asking that Thursday,the 9th,be observed as Fire Prevention Day,should given earnest attention,but it prob- ably .will not be.No one thing is more important,especially to the peo- ple of the towns,than a thorough awakening to the need of fire pre- vention.That two -thirds of the fires are due to carelessness—crimi- nal carelessness——is a very conserva- tive statement.The authorities of every town should make rigid inspec- tions,at least once a month,and promptly arrest and punish every individual who does not observe the regulations as to fire prevention. This would probably catch all of us, at one time or another,for a sea- son;but it would be nothing more than all of us deserve and by and by the fires would be reduced to a min- imum.Officers who fail to enforce the regulations are as guilty as the violator of the regulations -and just as responsible if therefrom. be disaster ‘result Major Graham,the State commis- sioner of agriculture,has been after the Legislature for some years for permission for the State Départment of Agricultufe to build itself a hand- :some building out of its own funds. Tae major is still on the job,with hope of success at the extra session. He has been showing the legislators pictures of the building which indi- cate that it is about to collapse.Hav- ing these pictures in mind the Greens- bore News says: And then if the State building that houses the Department of Agriculutte and the museum should fall they would never get the whale skele- ton together again,to say nothing of Major Graham and his assistants. The whale must be preserved.

Writing of the bill the New York World says: For the first time since the civil war an honest general revision of the tariff downward,often promised by leading men of all parties,had been agreed upon.For the first time since protection for monopoly’s sake had become an ‘institution seemingly invincible,greed and corruption have been met on their own ground and vanquished.For the first time since public plunderers sought refuge in theUnitedStatesSenatea_tariff measy ure emerged from’that body fairer and wiser and lower thah it was re- ceived from the House.oi The thanks of the country are due to every member of Congress,Repub- lican and Democrat,who has contrib-uted to this result,but especially to be honored are Representative Un- derwood,Senator Simmons and Pres- ident.Wilson,without whose untir-ing labors,wisdom.and moderation the happy issue now at hand might have been impossible. Leading men and_newspapers all over the country have paid handsome and deserved tributes to Senator Simmons’management of the bill in the Senate.In this connection the New York Sun says: It was recalled that on 114 votes taken in the Senate on amendments the finance,committee was sustained on every one.‘This showed party discipline as it has never been known before in the history of the Senate. The finance committee made a few concessions and changed some rates, but on every test of strength Sena- tor Simmons had the pleasure of hav- ing his view sustained by a majority. But after all the leader in the White House is probably due greatest praise.A California paper sizes up the situation in this paragraph! “His performance is the most triumphant example of leadership the history of this country affords. ***Wilson has a hold on the popular mind not easy to measure, and which is still less easy to account for.It is plain that Congress fears him because the people believe in him.” When The Landmark commended the Kinston graded ties for their determination to teach the children school and thus re- lieve the parent from doing so much of the work at home,Col.Harris of the Charlotte Observer suggested that The Landmark editor had been “stumped,”as he admitted he had been,in trying to do the teacher’s work.Now of the Davidsonian with this remark: Those editors who are complain- ing about the children having to study at home have probably been “stumped”by their own youngsters. The Landmark editor has been and he and the Charlotte Observer col- onel are candid enough to admit it; and they also believe that some oth- er editors who are not admitting it have been “stumped.” school authori- in comes Dr.Johnson A Washington dispatch says: The War Department has issued a statement correcting the impression that the opening of the Panama canal will cause-an actual union of the wa- ters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.It is explained that Gatun Lake,midway of the canal,is elevated 85 feet above the oceans and the fresh water.from this lake will merely flow each way to the two oceans.So far as the canal is concerned,the Atlan- tic and the Pacific will never mingle, This should relieve the Wadesboro man,who some months ago figured ;out that the Pacific-ocean was goingto.be drained.4nto the Atlantic ‘and who was somewhat alarmed about the possible consequences. .eyWritingfrommemoryand by care- \less reading,The Landmiark said that tion-a_tariff_bill written accordingto|toqay, the three boys sent from High Point| to the “workhouse in Greensboro”| |were shackled and put to work on the| jstreets.The Gréensboro Record -calls| lattention to the fact that Greensboro | jhas no workhouse.The boys were| lsent to the county workhouse,were| not worked on Greensboro’s streets| jand were sent to the Jackson Train-|} ling School as soon as room could be} |found for them.Greensboro works | jits negro ¢onvicts on the city streets| but all white prisoners are sent to the| county roads or county workhouse.tener nent | Rev.R.Murphy Williams of| Greensboro,who went to work early | spring,the direction of the Presbyterian Synod,to raise $50,-| 000 for improvements at the Barium Orphans’Home,will report to the meeting of Synod at Greensboro this| week that he has raised $57,000.| Good work for Mr.Williams.The} Presbyterians of the State have never | made a contribution to a more worthy | cause nor to one in greater need.| |last under Some time ago the Charlotte Ob-| server offered to arbitrate differences| between the Shelby papers.The} |Landmark,following the Observer's| |example,herewith makes tender of| for jits good offices to arbitrate the differ-|jences.between the Observer and the| Concord Tribune anent the Concord cotton market. !_rere etnaRNR We're at the Halfway House,says |President } { :|Wilson,referring to the, Con-{conclusion of the work on the tariffgressalltheseyearshasheldonto|bill.The Democratic programme is: ‘not yet complete,but like St.Paul when he came in sight of the Three18)Taverns,we can thank God and take|courage, STATE NEWS, “The celébration of the anniversarofthebattleofKing’sMountain,withSecretaryofStateBryantheprinci-pal speaker,is on at King’s Mountain Mack Flax,a negro employe oftheBurkeTanningCo.at Morganton,was caught in the machinery of.thecanarylastweekandsobadlyin-jured that he died.: In Forsyth county Friday Al.

In committee of the whole on con- stitutional amendments,the House voted for an amendment to provide emergency judges.Mr.Williams of Cabarrus wanted to dock ineapacitat- ed judges and let the salary of a sick judge go to the extra judge holding his court,but this was voted down, A proposition to create an interme- diate appellate court was voted down,71 to 34.Other amendments liscussed without action. In the Senate a bill was introduc ed to establish a public service-com mission,similar to.Woodward bill in the House.Among the bills passed was one to authorize the employment of,an additional bank examiner when needed,salary to be paid out of the fees collected from the banks. The Senate in committee of the whole discussed constitutional amend ments and Senator Bryant gave tice that he will call for a vote on the amendments at noon Wednesday, October 8.The proposition to strike out the words “rebcllion”and “in surrection”inthe constitution and sub- titute “War Between the States,” was adopted without debate.The section providing that the reading of the Bible in the public schools shall not be prohibited was championed by |Senators McLean and Ward,opposed iby Studdert and Bryan.Voted down, 28 to 6.The initiative and referen 'dum was voted down without debate, to 14.The Senate adopted the |House view as to per diem and mile jage for legislators—$6 per day for |members and Senators,$8 for presid jing officers and 10 cents mileage.The |vote was 28 to 4 ' |sy a vote of 21 to 3,the Hous |committee on public service corpora tions voted to report favorably tresolution providing for the accept ance of the offer of the railroad to freight rate cone The S jate committee voted five to {against acceptance and notice of a minority report was given.The v was taken after a rather tumultu isession.Mr.Cameron Morri |Charlotte,speaking against the p: osition in behalf of Charlotte Wilmington, 499 ssions. opposed accepting und that its accept hat nothing el wi pleaded that somet |lone at this time.He said i or State freight rates ought to berex ed and asked if imple a corporatic substantially He meant’no reflex |bers,whom he kn jbut he said they wer jteo.afraid of litigation,to do any ithing violent.“fisubalieved.the Stat fought to the Lr ter-State Commere¢ion.M |Justice led the,debate for accepting the proposition,which had been mad jclear that it did not stop the |from further effort,in such way as it |sees fit,to secure other.and further |reductions.Mr.“Justice*charged that|Wilmington was trying to hold up |the proposition for a selfish advan jtage ‘it now has and challenged Wil mington to show anything they had done to help the other parts of the State toward securing reductions.

CONFESSES DYNAMITE PLOTS. ers’,Union,‘Tells Of Gigantic Scheme.' New York Dispatet,2d.. Dynamite outrages that rivalled the exploits of the McNamara broth- ers.and Ortie McManigal were confessed today by George E.Davis, a union ironworker.Davis,who was arrested here today,was the George O’Donnell,who figured in the trial at Indianapolis that resulted in the con- viction of Frank M.Ryan,president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers and 37 of his associates.>His arrest and its.consequences round up work the Federal Government _started more than two years ago when the dynamiting of bridges and steel frame buildings all over the country became a national scandal, All thevexplosions that Davis says he eaused were referred to at the dy- namiters’trial in Indianapolis,but the fact that Davis caused them remain- ed unrevealed until he himself today told of it.Davis’confession resulted today in the arrest at Indianapolis of Henry Jones,secretary-treasurer of the iron- workers’union.The confession sup- plements the evidence presented at the Indianapolis trial and makes fresh charges against some of the men there convicted and now in pris- on.Some of his revelations concern President Ryan,who is now out on pail pending appeal from a prison sentence of seven years. Davis says he was the man cosen 1971,to kill WalterinDecember, Drew,attorney for the Nationel Erectors’Association,after.Drew was charged with kidnapping John J.McNamara.It was suggested also that he try to “get”William d. Burns,the detective employed by Drew and his associates to unearth the dynamite conspiracy.The price on Drew’s head at that time,Davis said,was $5,000. “I told them,”his confession coji- tinues,“that I did not want to mix up in such business.” Davis consented to return to Indit- anapolis ‘without extradition.tis bail was fixed at $10,000. The conspiracy thought to have been broken up by the conviction of Ryan and others still exists,accord- ing to Davis’confession.With the ex ception of Harry Jones,the men he mentions in connection with his va- rious dynamite jobs,already had been arrested,although his confession indicated that the government had obtained all the incriminating.ev- idence against thege defendants. Vhe apprehension of this MceMan- no ligal of the East was due to Robert |Foster,a Louisville detective,‘who shadowed the ironworker through Eastern citie Finally,when Davis was displeased with his treatment by the union.Foster persuaded him to make a full confession. Davis said he had been an iron- worker since 1900 and had been em- ployed at sirmingham,Denver, Pueblo,St.Louis,New York,Wash ington,Providence,Cleveland and Pittsburg. In careful detail the confession de scribes how Davis blew up or tried to blow up buildings and bridges in various cities and towns in the East It was during his I plans to destroy a tdi Fall River,April 26,1908,that vis first came into with Harry Jones.Davis asserts that Jones was familiar with the work was doing. A feature of Davis’ statement wa a story of a gigantic scheme to ff \simultaneously explosions in Omaha, San Francisco,St.Louis and New York city,while the McNama were in jail.This was to,create the impression that,tlhe McNamara Sibrotherswerebynomeansresp die Peinsylvania Railroad:this eve- ning in charge of Deputy United States Marshal Joseph Kund Final Repo On-1913 Catton Crop.

WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT. Mr.Tate Says the Just Freight Rate Association ‘Will Continue the Fight For a Separate Commission. Raleigh News and Observer,9th. In an interview with President Fred N.Tate of the Just Freight Rate Association,last night after the bill creating the new public service com- mission was killed in the House,he said:“While the vote against the meas- ure was greater than [|anticipated, still I am not surprised at the result in view of the fact that the railroad lobby and its friends and attorneys in the House had been vigorously and d rately at work during the day| lin up the forces in opposition to the people’s demand. “In my opinion the substitute as adopted is merely a subterfuge and does not in any sense provide the means by which justice for the State can be secured.Neither will it,as was also the intent,satisfy the voters and the people generally that this waa all or the best that could be done. “I further believe that there is still hope and faith in the Senate and that after that body has done its duty in the matter,the lower House may yet come to its senses and realize the awful predicament in which it has at- tempted to put the State,simply on account of political pull and lack of knowledge of the true situation throughout the State.”Mr.Tate concluded by emphatical- ly saying:.“The North Carolina Just Freight Rate Association is fighting the battleofthepeopleforasqu&re deal at thehandsoftherailroadsandthecorpor-Ny ation commission,and,I never wil surrender aprinciple.based as it iz on the deplorable “conditions ander |which the State is stagrering until full justice has been secured.“The fight will continue at the ballot box and in the next session of the General Assembly,with the hope that the State may awaken to the absolute ne- cessity’of forever and eternally cut- ting out those members who are the railroads’tools and who do the rail-roads’bidding,in direct opposition to the interests of their constituents.“The?Just Freight Rate Association,will be heard from in the next election,in a manner that will change the situation,and after the Legislaturehasadjourned,if proper measureshavenotbeenenacted,the JustFreightRateAssociationwillbeginandconductacampaignforthepeo-ple’s rights,the like of which hasneverbeenseenimNorthCarolina,” Two State Convicts Escape—ServingTermsForMurder.

If the consent of Representative Underwood and other House leaders can be secured,a joint resolution willbepassedthroughCongresswithin@ few days,repealing that portion of the new tariff law authorizing a 5 per cent tariff rebate on goods im- ported in American-owned ships.The decision to request this action was reached by administration officials Wednesday,after experts of the State and Treasury Departments had decided that to carry out exact terms of the provision would mean a reduc- tion of 5 per cent in tariff on goods from practically all of the chief ex-porting countries except Brazil, France and Russia.

The Landmark isn’t authorized to speak for the collector,but it is cer- tain he would put aside the proffered honor.The Vice President is a fig- ure head and has nothing on his mind except the state of the President’s health.The collector always wants to have a hand in the management of affairs. **ah One thing can be said in favor of the politicians,and that is that they are usually willing to give the peo- ple what they,want after finding out that the people are bound to have it. —Durham Herald.

He is assured of the support of Pres- ident Wilson for this policy.” They will hardly meke the change until most or all the second and third class.offices have been manned by Democrats.That will be according to Republican precedent and practice.

A bill was introduced,in accord-ance with the action of the Demo- cratic caucus,authorizing the em-ployment of a freight rate expert at not more than $4,000 a year and ad-ditional clerical help at not over $2,- 000 a year,by the corporation com- missionTheSenate gave lengthy consid- eration to,the resolution for the cre- ation of a commission on rural life, to be appointed by the Governor to make report and recommendations to the next General Assembly as to plans for bettering rural conditions in the State,especially the question of segregation of the races..Senator Ward raised the issue that there could be no segregation of the races in this country so far as land owning is concerned,under the Federal con- stitution.The resolution was de- feated,15 to 17.: The House discussed constitutional amendments,The~article relative to chartering corporations waspassedwithoutdivision.The pro~-vision requiring a public school term of six months was agreed to,63 to 31,,after several members had ex- pressed opposition.Justice and Page spoke in behalf.of the initiative and referendum and Doughton opposed it.It was defeated,48 to 51.The Biblé proposal was also voted down, 42 to 55. The bill authorizing the Depart- ment of Agriculture to erect a building to cost $200,000 was defeat- ed.The resolution to accept the of- fer of the railroads as to freight rates,was adopted,79;to 23,in the face of vigorous opposition. At the night session the Justice intra-State freight rate bill passed, 77 to 23.It is estimated that it will reduce railroad freight earnings 26 per cent.Mr.Justice vigorously ad- vocated the bill,saying that if it was unjust tothe railroads,he did not see why any crocodile tears should be shed by the people of North Carolina because of that #uspicion, considering how the roads had goug- ed the State.J.Frank Ray called Mr.Justice an unsafe leader and charged that the Guilford man was playing polities for the United States senatorship,whereupon Mr. Justice said he might charge that Mr:Rey came down to Raleigh on his pass and charged the State $85 for it. When the House passed the bill Mr. Page moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolwtion accepting the railroad proposition on inter-State rates was adopted.-He based his ap- peal on the ground that it would be unfair to accept this,and then slap the railroads in the face with this in- tra-State bill,which he and others would leave to the corporation com- mission.The railroads should be al- lowed to see now whether they are willing to put oh the Western rates. He at least wanted not to bind them from contesting the intra-State rates in the courts.

October 10,1918, FRIDAY, The Landmark has never sympa- thized with those who assert that -the corporation commission is of no value to the people of the State and has ac- complished nothing.It is of value and has accomplished much.But it is a fact that the corporation com- mission has not had entire public con- fidence.This applies not alone to the members of the present.commission but to those who have gone before, And this lack of confidence is found- ed on the fact that the commission has failed to do many things it could have done and that the great body of the people believe it should have done.It has accomplished good work recently,but its greatest activity seems to have begun after the storm arose about the freight rates.Many people are charitable enough to say that the commission’s lack of indus- try in some respects is due not so much to indisposition as to the fact that it has more business than it can handle,hence the demand for a sepa- rate commission for public service corporations.In lieu of this the commission is to be given a rate ex- pert and additional help.But it is certain that the demand for a sepa- rate commission will not cease unless the commission more zeal in the future in correcting the abuses of the public service cor- present manifests porations than it has in the past.acne This paper holds no brief for the ini- tiative and referendum,but it does contend that the voters of North Car- olina have the right to decide whether they wish these things.It also be- lieves that North Carolina is capable of self-government,in fundamentals; a belief which is not shared by the General Assembly.Greensboro News. Same It does seem that the General Assembly,in passing on the here. constitutional amendments,should give some consideration to what the people might or might not want,in stead of gauging the matter entirely by their owt views and.feelings,as seems to be the case.In other words, as constitutional amendments are to be submitted,the people should be given an opportunity to pass on meas- ures for which there is any consid- erable demand.If they don't want them they can vote them down.The idea seems to be,however,that the people are incapable of and that the self-govern- ment Legislature must act as guardian.In opposing the bill to create a separate rate com- mission,Mr.Stewart of Mecklenburg was horrified that there should be any intimation that the people,who had elected the present corporation commission,didn’t have sense enough to elect their own officers;and yet every day the Legislature,in ‘the matter of the constitutional amerd- ments,is making it clear.that,in the aninion of "be.members "this ronle.| are not capable of what: s +4 deciding they want They may call him a wild radical. a long-haired,or even a long-eared theorist,bates is noticeable thet 4 viata.B.wwe ised pe seo mit a few remarks,the Legislaturepricksupitsownears.—Greensboro4 News. Representative Justice said some strikingly true things in the course of Friday's rate debate at Raleigh.—Charlotte Observer., It has been charged that Mr.Jus- r oe ee eee tice was championing the freight rate reduction purely for political purposes;that he was agitating against the railroads for effect.But when the railroads offered what Mr. Justice thought it wise to accept he championed the acceptance of the of- fer,along with Gov.Craig and others, after it had been definitely settled that the acceptance would not bar future demands.In taking this course Mr.Justice finds himself in opposition to some of the men who had called him a radical and an ex- tremist,and thege now charge that his present course is for political pur- poses.Both statements can’t be true. It would seem that if Mr.Justice was fighting the railroads purely for polit- ical purposes,as was charged in the first instance,he would have kept on fighting and would not have agreed to the offer of the railroads.But since he has taken what the has endorsed as the political reasons. doubt aware that he everybody;especially can’t those pose at all times.

Reports to the Presbyterian Synod at Greensboro this week shows that Union Theological Seminary at Richmond has the largest number of students in its history—-107;that the total amount contributed for foreign missions was $113,059,an.increase over the previous year of $30,406.The increase per capita was from $1.78 to $2.34. It is announced that the stockhold- ers and directors of the bank at East Bend,Yadkin county,made good the shortage.and bad paper in the bank that caused it to be closed up some weeks ago,and that the bank will reopen for business at once on a sound footing.J.T.Smitherson has been elected cashier to succeed J.L.Nor- man,whose shortage caused the trouble.‘ Attorney General Bickett has ruled that under chapter 170 of the acts of 1913,the positions of committees for rural schools and boards of trustees of State schools and colleges and sub- text book commissioners shall not be deemed offices within this Staté un- der the constitution,and therefore a man can hold any of the positions named without in any way interfer- ing with his right to hold any other public position or office.

He stated that four years ago upon the formation of the State Associa- tion of the Blind its 30 members be- gan paying $1 a month each and have done this ever since.It is found nec- essary to obtain a charter in order that the association can accépt prop- erty and gifts and hold the same.Several offers of a site for the home have been made,one of these being of anywhere from one acre to 20 acres,near New Berne.A Luth- eran minister has offered to.raise $1,000 a year for the next 10 years for the support of the home.An of- fer of a site has also been made by High Point men,and the furniturefactoriesofthatplacehaveoffered to completely furnish the building.

Asked if the corporation commis- sion needs additional help Mr.Travis said it needed more clerical assist- ance and a rate expert.He said such an expert would save the people of the State from $50,000 to $100,000 a year in overchargej.Mr.Travis said the adjustment secured was the best ever secured by any State from the railroads and that the reductions, including the points from New Or- leans to Buffalo,amounted considera- bly to more than 25 per cent. President Tate of the Just Freight Rate Association then queried Mr.| Travis about several matters relat- ingeto the freight rate fight.Mr.Tra- vis said the demand of the railroads that there should be no punitive or retaliatory legislation was cut out bytherailroadpeoplebeforetheprop osition reached the Govertior.Asked| about a lumber rate hearing that was| never finished,Mr.Travis said that| the matter required an investigation| of the records for 25 years,that the/ commission reporter was also the} commission expert and that he could| not do everything at one time.Mr.| Travis said that the reduction onfurnitureratestotheWestwere} real,that he had them in writing and| had secured them without Mr,Tate’s| Nelp. In conclusion Mr.Travis asked the men,what they would have done if| the concessions had not been grant-| ed.He challenged the champion of the initiative and referendum,and he looked straight at Representative Justice,to find anything in the re ord of the corporation commission to warrant their offices “being taken from them.He declared that the mission was not dealing in a haphaz ard sort of way with the rate situ- ation,and promised that it had more | sticks of wood to cut.He admittedthepoweroftheLegislature,but de-| nied its right to take from him his| commission that he got from the peo-| ple.| In replying to the Travis addr:ss| Cameron Morrison of Charlotte,| i| | | i speaking especially as the represen-| tative of the Charlotte Just Freight Rate Association,asked why it wa if the corporation commission had made such-a-firfe reaord in the frerrht> Charlotte,«Greensboro,Winston-Sa-| lem,Wilmington and the other big} centers of business had banded to~| gether and demanded a new commix-| sion’to take up their cause and press fan -An-nnnpion®of which hé fecfhred |the woncessiony tr 5 ..~were a mere hed ~,., The fact is,he declared,that the} big majority of the business men and the Farmers’Union disagree with Mr.Travis.He would not dispute that Travis had.done the best ha could,but there was too much more to be done to intrust the issues long- er in the old commission.At least, the people he represented demanded that if the Legislature did not see fit) to create an entirely new commis-| sion,that it add two new competent} men to the present commission,make| ing five members.He insisted that the people demand infusion of new! blood through the two additicna! members,whom the Governor could appoint.

Extra Session of the Legislature Ad-journed Last Night. The extra session of the Legisla- ture adjourned last night at 8:28, the 20 days expiring yesterday.Dur- ing the session 497 acts and 14 reso- lutions were passed;most of them bearing on local matters., The House and Senate agreed on five:eents mileage for xegislators in- stead of 10 cents. The Senate Saturday.passed thebillcarryingtheconstitutional amendments.The mileage allowanceformemberswasreducedfrom10to5cents.The vote by which the in- tra-State freight rate bill was pass- ed was reconsidered and the amend-ment to exempt railroads that have constructed as much as 25 miles of new line within twelve months for the purpose of connecting up exist- ing lines,was stricken out,The House concurred in the Senate amendment providing that if the railroads consid- er the rates fixed in the bill unfair and confiscatory,the Governor may, in his discretion,appoint a commis- sion of three members to investigate and recommend that the rates or certain of them be decreased.The Senate passed the House bill provid- ing a rate expert and other clerical assistance for the corporation com- jmission at an annual expense of $6,- }000 and providing for additional le- gal assistance not to cost more than $1,000 annually.A number of local bills passed and both the Senate and House passed a_resolution recom- mending to President Wilson the ap- pointment of Senator G.J.Studdert as consul to Belfast or Dublin,[re- lang.The bill to give the State prison board control of the letting of convicts was defeated,notwithstand- ing it was said the Governor had recommended its passage.The bill providing for sales of real estate un- der mortgage to stand open for tendaysforanincreasedbid,was defeat- ed.Bill”passed to increase fourth- class pensions from $30 to $32,and a joint resolution authorizing theNorthCarolinaHistoricalCommis-sion to submit a suitable design for a memorial to the North Carolina soldiers who participated in the bat- tle of Gettysburg,was passed.At the night session the bill ap- propriating $68,000 to pay debts, complete buildings,and maintain thesaePesFeebleMindedatKin-ston a,di inal -—aaaneeas eee eee board of directors to 12.This grew out-of a strenuous attack made by Senators Jones,Gilliam,Bryant, Wakefield and others as to the ex- pediency of maintaining the institd-tion at all,and more ‘especially charges of mismanagement.Includ- ed in these charges were multiplying the debt in violation of legislative }limitations and paying salaries.of superintendent,engineer,stenogra- pher and others at the institution for more than a year —any in- mates atall.It was ec arged that the addition of three directors was to get Dr.Hardy out of the superin- tendency and that this was unfair, as he was no more responsible formismanagementthanthedirectors. .The.dlouse.passed.the bill,making.the same appropriation for the School For Feekle-Minded and alsobillsappropriating$29,000 Tor main- tenance @rd imbrovements -at theStateHospitalatRaleigh,$8,000 for the State Hospital at.Goldsboro, 31,500 for the Stage SanatoriumforTrherenlosisand$4,600 Tot the School for the Deaf,Dumk.ard Blind in working of the State convicts on thepublicroadsofcountiesandtown- ships that desire to hire them at $1 per day.in squads of not fewer than forty,also passed.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS Motion pictures are being used, ‘Gt is stated,to assist Mrs,John Rockefeller to learn lip reading,as she is becoming deaf.The filmyis run off slowly and Mrs.Rockefeller studies the lips of the actors.She is learning rapidly to read what they say.And by the same token,deaf people who know lip reading c.n get much more out of the moving pic- tures than the rest of us.They can tell what the actors say. Talking about the violations of the Jaw prohibiting the selling:of ¢igar- ettes and cigarette materials to boys under 17,the Salisbury Post says “no good man is going to violate this law in order to take in a few more pennies in the course of aday’s busi- ness,but a good many violations have been found,due almost entirely to a lack of knowledge of the law.” The Post’s faith and.charity are broad.About every newspaper in the State has published the law, since it was strengthened by the Legislature last winter.Some of them have published it over and over again and commented on it.In the face of this the “good men”who violate it and claim they didn’t know must not read the newspapers.The Landmark is disposed to question this plea of ignorance. +*+ The Salisbury Merchants’Associa- tion,says the Salisbury correspon- dent of the Charlotte Observer,has gone on record as a body and agreed to use its influence as an organiza- tion te help enforce the law which prohibits the sale of cigarettes and cigarette materials to boys under 17 years of age.Cards containing a synopsis of the law have been dis- tributed throughout the city.The move is a worthy one and The Land- mark commends it to the Merchants’ Association of Statesville.It is the first duty of all good citizens not only to obey the laws of the land but to encourage law observance.In addition to this,the law under con- sideration is framed to help save the boys from a dangerous habit and one.that means physical and mental deterioration;for whatever may be said about cigarette smoking and its effect on grown men,it cannot be de nied that the habit is wholly bad for boys. * The President’s suggestion to Rep- resentative Clayton of Alabama,that it is important that he should re- main at the head of the House judi- ciary committee,which resulted in Clayton withdrawing from the Ala bama senatorial race,is a sad blow to Congressman Webb of North Car olina..Had Mr.Clayton left the House Mr.Webb was practically cer tain to succeed him as chairman of the judiciary or ggeen and this probability wotld bave -materially helped Mr.Webb in his fight.for re- nomination next year,which theCharlottepoliticianswillcontest.The Président was of course not reflect- ing on Mr.Webb.He simply wanted the advantage that would be gained from Mr.Clayton's experience.But Mr.Webb's enemies will be chargingthatthePresidentdidn’t think he was fitted for the chairmanship of this important committee. _*+ Persisting in its inquiry whether the legislators who ride on railroad| passes collect mileage from the State,the Greensboro News insists that ‘‘it is a question of ethics”and it can see no reason why the ques- tion should not be answered.The Landmark happens to know that one legislator who has a pass.didg’t ride ‘on it when he went to Raleigh.He holds a pass not as a favor from the railroads,but he hes an official posi- ent whic under..the lew,parties railroad transportation with it.When D.|the families of members. ed and which would not be allowedhiminprivateayeieWhenHon,Jo:Cannon and sdefended—theoutrageousmileagegraftinCongress(the allowance was 20 cents),their excuse was that the extra amountwasusedtopaytransportationofNobody‘be-lieves for a moment that it was evercontemplatedthatthetransportation of families of members of Congress, or members of tle Legislature,shouldbepaidoutofthepublictreasuryanymorethantheirhotelbillsorlaundrybillsshouldbesaddledon the taxpayers.Neither do we be-lieve that it is proper for members of the Legislature to force the pub- lic to pay for their extra visits hometotheirfamiliesortolookaftertheirprivatebusiness.If they.drawtheirperdiemwhiletheyareat home,it does seem that would be sufficient without collecting the ex- tra railroad fare.We utterly dissent from the idea that it is the busi- ness of the State to pay per diem and mileage to a legislator while he is taking time fyom his public duties to look after private business.If this is to be done,go at it Ricgctly,In- crease the per diem to cover cost of these trips or make an allowance for the actual cost of &certain numberoftrips.to and from Raleigh.That would be the fair way and the peo- ple would know just what they are paying and what for.The indirect method is “uncandid and smacks ofgraft.c The public has little idea as to the aggregate amount of this mileage. From Statesville to Raleigh is 152 miles.Ten cents per mile for the round trip is $30.40.That is what each Iredell member going from Statesville collects in mileage.The actual cost of that round trip,cash fare,2 1-2 cents a mile,is $7.60.That leaves ‘$21.80,nearly enough,under the Dowd plan,to pay for three ex- tra trips home.The 10 cents mileage is not the straight and square meth-od of dealing.We believe the per diem should be incregsed,but the people should vote against the whole proposition if the mileage rake-off has to go with it.Z PRESIDENT EXPLODED DIKE. Touched a Key in White House That Set Off An Explosion in Panama Canal. Washington Dispatch,10th. The momentary touch of a key by the President of the United States to- day sent a flash of electricity through a continuous telegraph and cable con- nection of 4,000 miles,setting off a gi- wantic blast of dynamite which ex- ploded the Gamboa Dike,the last of the great physical barriers to water communication in the Panama canal. It was an extraordinary feat of te- legraphy,especially planned for the occasion.At precisely 2 o’clock this afternoon President Wilson,simply closing a key at the White House, sent the current over land and un- der sea and a few seconds later came the message informing him that the explosion had been successful. While celebrations on the Pacific coast were numerous there was no ceremony in Washington,it being the wish of Colonel Goethals that the government await the actual opening of the canal.Besides the wreckage of the Gamboa Dike there are two earth slides to be cleared away be- fore boats can pass from ocean to ocean. A dispatch from Panama says 3,000 to 4,000 persons from various sections of the Canal Zone journey- ed to the scene to witness the de- struction of the barrier.Complete demolition of the dike was not carried out because of the fear that the con- cussion might damage the railroad trestling crossing the cut near San Miguel locks.The two remaining sections will be dynamited _later.The spectators “lined the “banks of the.cnt,ceowpying every availablo- vantage point.‘As the hour ap- he started to Raleigh on the as sembling of the Legislature,however,| he decided that as he was not travel-| ing .on business for which the pass | was provided he could not.pagperly) sain npnetinatas MORENO NUTR DG theta teandwill.of “course ~collect mileage|au ctw ete OD a“mares opinion,however,~that’ great majority of those who rode| on passes to Raleigh will collect the mileage. At last we havé a direct statement from the legislators who vote them- selves 10 cents mileage when the ac- tual cost of transportation is 2 1-2 ¢ents (only 2 cents when mileage books are bought).Mr.Dowd of Mecklenburg,defending the 10 cents thileage allowance,says it is not contemplated that the members should go to Raleigh and stay dur ing the entire session,without ever going home to see their families and look after their business,hence the 10 cents mileage allowance is proper, because it pays for the extra trips home.The gentlemen.who defend the 10 cents mileage are personallyashonestastheeditorofthispaper, yet we cannot agree with their viewofthepublicservice.There hasgtownupinrecentyearswhatweregatdasverylooseideasastothedutiesandobligationsofa:publicservant.Men elected to office seemtothinktheirtimeistheirownandthattheycanusewhateverportionofittheywishforprivatebusiness:and this is especially true of mem.bers of Congress and of the Legis-lature.Susiness in thé House ofCongresswasheldup.nearly all oflastweekbecausethemembershad gone home and a quorum could not be obtained:While members of the Legislature have to serve only 60 days some of them frequently spend several days ‘at -home looking aftertivatebusiness.The~LandmarkIdsthatexceptin-cases of illness or similar emergency,the legislatorwhoabsentshimselffromhispost should not collect nay for the days heisoffduty.Certainly he is not entitled to it if he is spending thetimelookingafterhisprivatebusi-ness,It doesn’t matter whether muchorlittleisbeingdone,the legislatorispaidforhisfime.If he absentshimselfanddrawspayforhistime, dahon:the |inggthe air.It was considered among proached when President Wilson would press the button to explode the numerous charges of dynamite in the dike,a hush of expectancy fell over all..Then suddenly came the _~a Ue Qisenarge of oepoundsofdynamitewhichsent ot tg.sod ant HEL?role ee lo dynamite experts as a remark- ably clean explosion,<A’section of the dike 60 feet’.wide.was lifted bodily from its bed and its component parts scattered far and wide.

The report of the board of regentsoftheOrphans’Home showed that 191 orphans have been cared for dur- ing the past year,an increase of six over the previous year.The sup- port fund fell off $300,but by care- ful and economical management the orphanage closed the fiscal year with a small balance on hand.The field agent,Rev.R.Murphy Williams of Greensboro,who had prosecuted a campaign to raise $50,000 for perma- nent betterments at the institution, has secured cash and pledges to the amount of $60,612.79,but it has been found that even this is not sufficient to complete the work planned.Three bequests,amounting to $1,115 were re- ceived during the year.A.brick barn, several silos and other buildings have been erceted.The $60,000 raised by Mr.Williams includes $7,000 promis- ed by John F.McNair of Laurinburg, to erect a school building in memory of his wife,work on which.will be begun shortly.The endowment fund now stands at $3,000,and the plant is worth fully $100,000.The super- intendent’s reportincluded a review of the good work of the farm,the work- shop and the canning plant,where, jin spite of the short fruit and vege- lthe disease or money refunded by |Statesville Drug Co. |A complete Hyomei outfit,includ- jing inhaler and bottle of liquid,costs fonly $1.00,and an extra bottle of liquid,if afterwards needed,is but50cents Ready For Tobacco The aopenandMcElwee’s Plan- tobacco season is ters’Warehouse is ready to make tobacco bring the highest market More wise better equipped than prices, buyers and oOther- ever.You can’t do better table crops,1,035 gallons of toma- toes and beans were canned.The subscription list of the paper has in- creased from 1,100 to 1,800 and its fads brought in $600 |.The treasurer reported receipts.of |$2 1,158.50 for the year,for the cur- jrent fund,and $15,0 43.09 for the per- }manent fund,and the ents asked i Synod for an aeerouniation of $20,- 1000 for the coming year.It was jgranted after the discussion of the jreport.The institution needs more lland,repairs of various kinds,barns land shelters,schoo!building,infir- |mary and heating plant.The Synod |two years ago asked for $50,000 to do |this work;but it has since been found that that is not much more than half) |the sum that will be necessary. |far only half of the churches of the Synod have made any contribution at all toward this work. e ‘Educational Se h LIVE ITEMS OF STATE NEWS. ‘Accidents,Crimes and Other Inci- dents of Life.in the Old North State.

Serious shortage exists in the world’s crop of grain for 1913.The supply is nearly 10 per cent less than jast year.The total deficiency ag- gregates 1,250 million bushels of the five grain staples.This shortage is hot made up by potatoes,the world’s supply of which is no greater than last year,and 300 million bushels less than the worll’s normal potato crop of 1910. These amazing conclusions are in- dicated by the preliminary report upon the world’s crops and the fu- emphasizes that the four breadstuffs —wheat,oats,rye and barley—will probably be 500 million bushels less this year than in 1912,70 million bushels less than two years ago,but 4 per cent more than the 1910 crop. “A.careful analysis prepared by the Orange Judd service burean shows that the price of grain in the United States and Canadd-is more closely affected by the supply andotherconditionsintheUnitedStates and Canada than by the world’s sup- ply or Liverpool prices,”diaries Southern Farming,adding:“The area of fall sown oats and _othergrainswillbegreatlyincreasedthis month throughout the South,as a result of the world-wide shortage.

The climax of this question was reached here when Bishop Kilgo de- nounced the universities and collegesattitudetowardathleticsa few mornings ago.“College.authorities have been and are justified in éncouraging healthy sports in the colleges,”said Bighop Kilgo.“But inch by inch and:foot by foot,corruption has come in,until now the college community repre- sents a winter resort for athleties rather than a place where thinkers gather in the pursuance of.knowl edge. “The dominant man in the tollegecommunitytodayisthecaptainof some team,er the man,who can train a winning squad.All morals and standards of honor are being ignored; all the student’s sense of honor has been paralyzed,and his conscience doped.“ “If kept up at the present rate the college man will become the most undesirable member of our society. Our colleges are fast becoming incu- bators of scoundrels and will have this reputation unless there is a rad- ical change.I use this strong term, because a protest against the pre- vailing athletic standards and_poli- cies in our colleges is needed, “The educational institutions in North Carolina are scandalized and dishonored by the gathering together of crowds of students whose chief aim in college is athletic achieve- ments.The State University’s Alumni Association contributed more to athletics than ta all other depart- ments of the institution combined last year.Students seem to have no idea of hon they sell their servi- ces in the s t market.There is a student mar!¥y as much 680 as there is any nd of market.

Raleigh News and Observer. The best thing that has happened in the country in recent years wasPresidentWilson’s denunciation of the insidious lobby that was.trying to defeat the tariff bill in the Senate. When he made his statement many of the papers said he was talkingwithoutknowledgeand.makingchargesthat.could not be sustained.Their investigation proved that”he knew,what he was talking about and lobbying had no effect upon the tar- iff bill for that reason.Uf the Pres-ident had been quiet when the lobby- ing was going on in Washington it may have been that the tariff bill would have become a party perfidy and a party dishonor,as it was under veland’s administration,but Pres- wil son had the courage to de-nounce it and expose it and end it. The day has eome in North Caro- lina when lobbying,not insidious but open-and notorious,is_a disgrace to the State...During the discussion ofrailroadmattersatthisextrasession the capitol has swarmed with lobby- ists.They got only have caught the people at hotels and on the streets, but they have had the effrontery and brazenness to walk into the Senate chamber and there talk to Senators and to walk into the House of Rep- resentatives and call on members of the House and talk to them.No manwithhispocketsbulgingwithrail- road money has’any business to bepermittedtoputhisfootinsidethe Senate Chamber or House of Repre- sentatives.It is all the worse when he comes to lobby after having been a member of the Legislature and uses the courtesy extended former mem- bers in order to ply his dishonorable trad:.

Five other deputies who signed “the resolution were absent when the cor- don of troops was thrown about the executive building and several hun- dred soldiers invaded the chamber. The arrests followed a demand by President Huerta that the chamber withdraw the resolution which car- ried the threat that the deputies would abandon the capital,owing to un.alleged lack of guarantees for their personal safety. Senator Dominguez early in the month made a speech in the Senate violently attacking Huerta,sayingthatnotonlyhadnothingbeendone during /Huerta’s regime toward the| pacification of the country,but that|the present situation in the republic| was infinitely worse than before.He| and foremost to the fact that Mex- ican people could not resign them- selves to be governed by Huerta.

Mr.Houston was at home alone when he attempted to end his life, Mrs.Houston having gone to the home of her son,a short distance When his.condition was dis-away. covered Dr.Kluttz of Trourman was called and removed the ball.Mr. Houston has been feeble for the pas: year or so and had worried a great deal since last spring,resulting in his mind becoming impaired,He had been summoned to appear at Supe- rior Court in Statesville this week to testify in the case of two of his neighbors who engaged in an affray «ome time ago,but he did not want to testify and his brooding over the matter was probably the direct cause of his rash act.He attended court ‘Tuesday,but the case did not come to trial and be was expected to be here again Wednesday.Tuesday night he went to the home of one of the defendants in the case and told the latter that he would not be at court Wednesday.because he did not want to testify in the case.Instead of coming to court Wednesday morn- ing he took advantage of the absence of the other members of the family and attempted to end his life by fir ing the bullet into his body.

THE LANDMARK FRIDAY,---October 17,1913. COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS Some of the Wilson county farm- ers seem disposed to speak their own minds about matters and things. The farmers had a meeting —-prob- ably a meeting of the Farmers’Un- jon—at Wilson the other day and Chairman Woodard,of the Wilson board of commissioners,presented resolutions endorsing Gov.Craig’s proclamation calling on all able-bod- jed.citizens to.work.the roads two days in November,The farmers not only yoted down the resolutions al- most unanimously,but they seid un- complimentary things of the Legis- lature for.not.passing the bill pro- viding for a public service commis- sion,which was introduced by Rep- resentative Woodard of Wilson. * Rey.H.K.Boyer,.who recently re- pigned the superintendency of the Methodist orphans’home at Winston- Salem to re-enter the ministry,has done a splendid work at the institu- tion during his short’ireumbency. The defalcation of Hayes,the former superintendent,had not gnly put the orphanage in bad shape financially, but what ‘was far worse,the confi- dence of the people was naturally shaken.With this situation to face, Mr.Boyer took charge about eight months ago and in that period has put the work on its feet so that the institution is now in good ‘condition. The trustees were so well pleased with Mr.Boyer’s work that they unanimously re-elected him and urg- ed him to remain,bur as he had de- cided that it was his duty to re-enter the ministry and that the orphanage work should be in the hands of some ene who purposes to make it a life work,he insisted on his resignation being accepted.As The Landmark has already said,the trustees are very fortunate in securing Mr.Wal- ter Thompson as Mr.Boyer’s suc- cessor.The institution could not be committed to better hands. *.” In former days the parade was the most’important part of the circus. It is yet,but some of the modern- day circuses occasionally cut out the parade or so modify it that it isn't what it once was.It seems that some wise Arkansas legislator of the old days was far-sighted enough to an- ticipate just such a result and pre- pared for it.Anyhow,when the cir- cuses tried the no-parade or modi- fied-parade featufe in Arkansas,the provisions of the old law were re- vived which authorizes a heavy fine upon circuses and other amusements which advertise attractions that they fail to produce;and no circus will hereafter be permitted to enter any Arkansas community unless it ‘en- ters after the good old fashion.In brief,there must be a street parade or there will be no performance,af- ternoen(or ...exening,.in pavilion.What a pity some North Catolina legislator wasn't sufficiently forward-looking to put over some- thing like this at the ext#a session. He would not only have been a pub- lic benefactor but the authorship of such a law might have in it the mak- ing of a Governor. **+5 The attack of Congressman Hob- son on Mr.Underwood will not hurt cases at least.Speaking from per- sonal knowledge,it could cite cases to prove that the amount of home study is often unreasonable;and from the approbation some recent remarks on this subject,in this paper,have received,others have had the same experience.The tendency ,has beento,.go to.the extreme in increasing the amount of home study.The teacher shouldn’t be expected to do it all.The parents should co-operate and uphold his hands;but the limi- tations of the parent and child should be considered,: **+ Anson county commissioners tooknoteofthefactthattheheavily- loaded lumber wagons cut the roads to pieces and they decided that the lumbermen ought to pay an extra tax for road upkeep.Thereupon An- son’s representative was asked to put through the extra session of the Legislature a bill levying a tax of 2 cents per 1,000 feet on lumber for each mile hauled.Under this bill a thousand feet of lumber haul- ed ten miles would have added 20 cents to the road fund.When the lumbermen learned what was on foot they put up a concerted yell that al- most raised the roof off the Anson court house when they went before the commissioners ‘to protest.The tax would ruin them,they said. They thought they could,on a strain, pay one-fourth of a cent per mile on each thousand,but the commis- sioners decided that a cent was lit- tle enough.So the Anson memberoftheLegislaturewasaskedtoput the bill through making the.tax one cent,which it is supposed he did,and hereafter each 1,000 feet of lumberhauledoverAnsoncountyroadswill pay to the road fund one cent for each mile. While the lumber haulers do great damage to the roads a tax like this might be considered discriminatory, especially when it is remembered that automobiles are bad to tear up roads.But it would be just and fair to require lumbermen and all other teamsters to put on broad tires,a special tax being levied on those failing to comply within a reas- onable time.An effort was made last winter to get some measure through the Legislature for Iredell ‘that would promote the broad tire ‘idea,but there was opposition andithelegislatorsletitgo.No mat- ter how good nor how meritorious a j/measure may be,the Lredell legisla- itors are always tender-footed unless lit seems to have an overwhelming |sentiment behind it.In other words, jit is a sort of unwritten law for Ire- idell legislators to side-step local leg- lislation until a public sentiment 1s ‘aroused that makes it safe.Setting |the pace,leading the way,taking ithe initiative in measures for the |public good,no matter how desirable ithe measure,does not appeal to the Iredell legislator if it is something of an innovation that may arouse op- position.In short,doing what they the main.)believe is best for the people,re- |wardléss of lockl Bentinient,aves not appeal to the average North Caro- \lina legislator,and the Iredell folkslareliketheaverage.Some of these days,after sentiment has been so laroused that it will become impera- itive,we will have the broad tire law \for Iredell,but by that time the roads will have been cut to pieces.|‘STRAIGHT TALK TO|——- MEXICO. oie . \ aa y SA O ; : AN N Is like what you want your hair to be— Lustrous,bright and glossy;soft,silky and wavy.

The gasoline engine is making pos- sible a revolution’in farm conditions. On tens of thousands of farms and in hundreds of ways it is bringing to the farmer the benefit of power machinery in contrast with the drudgery of mus- cle power.The farmer is ‘at last be- ginning to get the benefits,’whieh for half a century or more have been con- fined almost exclusively to towns and cities,of power machinery.He may not fully realize what this revolution means in doubling and quadrupling the effectiveness of his work and in lessening the burdens and the drudg- ery of himself and his family.We ate only at the’beginning of this age of power machinery on the farm.The field for expansion is limitless.With this increase of efficiency on the farm and the lessening of the drudgery of farm life for men,women and ehil- dren it only needs the building of good roads everywhere to completely ehange the whole atmosphere of everybody. We have only entered the threshold of the era of the use of the automo- bile,as a business vehicle as well as for pleasure.Passing through one county in Georgia some time ago,a county in which there are no large cities,but in which there “is great agricultural prosperity,the writer was told by responsible people that more than one-half of the farm own- ers in the county owned automobiles. In that county the farmers use their cars for carrying fruit,vegetables, chickens and eggs and other things to market,because this can be done over good roads.The very swiftness of the movement of an automobile stimulates thought and activity and stirs the farmers to a quicker realiz ation of the possibilities of develop- ment of diversified agriculture and other improvements, The gasoline engine operating ma chinery on the farm,pumping the water,saving the wood and chopping the feedstuffs for cattle,as it will eventually do,and the gasoline en gine in the motor truck and the auto-| mobile,one and the ‘same thing,ioneofthemightiestfactorsofthe last half-century for the befterment of farm life.This little engine will cause tens of thousands of boys,who would otherwise turn to the city,to stay in the corwntry and make a suc cess there. The worker for good roads is, therefore,a missionary,opening the way for the advancement of civiliza- tion and the vast expansion of mater- ial prosperity everywhere.

Survivors of the Volturno,the steamship burned at sea last week, arrived in ‘New York Wednesday and told the story of the disaster,_The explosion of a drum containing chemicals was the cause of the fire, according to the story told by Wal-dron Disselman,third officer’of the Volturno.Disselman gave a thrilling narrative of the long hours spent on his fire-ridden ship,fighting the flames,sustaining the crippled’wire- less plant,lowering lifeboats,quiet- ing the panic-stricken,steering the vess¢l by hand to keep her from drifting—fighting the battle unaided because the waves were running toohighforsmallcraftfromotherships to accomplish the journey to the Vol-turno’s side.More than 80 passen- gers were burned to death when they were cut off by flames,Disselman re- ported, Ranking well up with the brevery displayed by Captain Inch of the Vol- turno,were the feats of daring of several of his officers,among them Second Officer Lloyd.While 10 ocean liners maneuvered about the Volturno after darkness had settled on Thurs-day,Captain Inch wirelessed: “We can’t stand this long.Our boats are gone.Send boats.”No rescue boats came in response to Inch’s wireless.Then Second Officer Lloyd measured up to the mark.Tak- ing four men with him he entered a damaged lifchoat,the —-Volturno’s last,and showed that the seas could be lived upon. Second Officer Von Carisberg of the Grosser Kurfurst told the story of how Lloyd and his crew set the example for the other ships.“Soon a light—-it was Lloyd’s pocket lamp -was seen dancing up and down ‘on top of the waves,”said Von Carls- berg,“and in a short time the Vol- turno’s boat reached us.Second Offi- cer Lloyd and his crew were in the boat and no sooner had they board. ed the Kurfurst than their boet sank.The trip had been experimen- tal to see if it was possible for a small boat to live in the heavy sea.” Second Officer Lioyd risked his life in other ways than by his trip the Groeser Kurfurst.When the foremast threatened to topple it was Lloyd who climbed to the wireless plant and mended it so that commu- nication would be maintained with the other ships.Descending,Lloyd fell 20 feet,bruising his forehead. This was before he took his crew of four and entered the Volturno's last boat, Passengers told of some of the horrors they witnessed.Some saw women burned to death;others saw A SYSTEM OF RURAL CREDITS. Commission Which Investigated:Eu-ropean Conditions Makes |Report, Raleigh Dispatch to”Charlotte Ob- server. The special commission appointed to investigate the rural credits sys- tems of Europe and to make a re- port and recommendations _based thereon,has made public its finding; setting forth what it considers theneedsofthefarmersoftheState in regard to crediis,banking and co-operation.“Tt is clear that there is”some- thing radically wrong with the facil- ities for borrowing money on farm lands ‘in North Carolina,’says.the report..From.inquiry,it~is .stated,it has been found that few banks in the State lend money on farm lands and that the farmer,compelled.to deal with land -loan sharks,has pay from six to 20 per cent interest. “Hardly any greater blessing,” says the report,“could befall thefarmersofNorthCarolinathanthe institution of a system of land-mort- gage credit that will bring money tothefarmersandlandownersatalowrateofinterestand,by the process of amortization of |annual instal- ments,extend to them the privilege of re-paying this money over a long eriod of years.” “Collective credit for public pur- poses at,from four to five per cent has already been extended by inves- tors to nearly all counties of North Carolina,but collective credit has been denied the citizen in his individ- ual capacity.”The result has been that the counties and cities in their corporate capacity have made mar- velous progress,yet the farmer is doing little to develop his lands. It is estimated that 200,000 per- sons,at least,engaged/in agriculture in this State,have not sufficient stor- ed-up property to give them stand- ing either at land-mortgage banks or at the present commercial insti- tutions.These people need money for supplies,seed and labor. The commission suggests -stand- ardization of products:This,it is said,will result in cutting out waste, lower prices to the consumer and finally in more money to the North Carolina farmer through building up a world market for his .products. Distribution of farm products this State is marked by waste.The to wmarketing of eggs will serve as a of this,passing through one pair after another of hands and finally reaching the con- sumer in an unsatisfactory condition with each one who handles them’get- ting his part of the money.Commu- nity marketing is a thing that should be established,whereby the products of the farm,standardized and guar- anteed,will bring a fair price to the man who raised them.Co-operation should be easy in this State by reason of its homogeneous .people, wood illustration babies trampled on and killed.Sev-|after the farmers have learned whateralwerequotedasdeclaringthey saw ships officers keep back with re volvers panic -stricken seamen who had swarmed up from the bowels of the vessel after the explosions and tried to force their way into life- boats ahead of women and children. It was denied on behalf of officers that revolvers had been used. Shade Trees Won in Supreme Court. Raleigh News and Observer. Van B.Moore of Wake wins against the Carolina Power and Light Cotfmpany in the Supreme Coart, The company won the first fall.The plaintiff sued the company for destroying in part some of the shade trees in the construction of its wires by his yard.The lower court charged that if the trimming was done un- skillfully or negligently there would be cause for action,but that if done otherwise there was no ground for lainto=moe *wz:Chef Justice Clark took ‘the -on- posite view.He said the lines might have been raised or swerved and that overhead lines have been -tolerated in the interest of economy,but that the underground systemwill eventual- ly be requi he ar ama 9)Pn we enti nyerous, and ‘unsightly court judge erred in charging as he did. To the suggestion of eminent do- ayes and said the,lo ted for when this principle means to them. The commission then summarizes its investigations and recommenda- tions ae follows: “1.We find that credit costs the average North Carolina farmer eight to 20 per cent normally. re We believe that some form of rural credit society,not dependent upon our present system of commer- cial banks,must be evolved,based on the European models but adapted to American conditions,with the ad- dition perhaps of certain other feat ures of our building and loan asso- ciations.There is great need both for short-time credit and for provid- ing money on long-time and low rate to enable worthy citizens to build it,provide home conveniences,etc. “3.Nerth Carolina has just adopt- ed the Torrens system-of registering land titles,a system which will greatly.cheapen and facititate ‘agri- commend to other States “4.At the same time our system of taxation should be reformed so as to discourage speculation in lands, stimulate home -ownership and stop ohh.eet met tail ’a perhaps he has ony pall for one-fourth of it.'' “5.Largely because of our:unde- veloped marketing system we find main,Judge Clark declared the ac-| tion might be brought under the law|of eminent domain and under that| pleading it might be shown that prop- erty rights have been ifvaded.The owner of the house declared that he| bougbt the property partly because of its shade trees and they had been in- jured.The non-suit im the lower court is an error.Justices Brown and Hoke dissent. (Property owners whose shade trees have been ruthlessly “slashed by wiremen will remember Judge Clark in their prayers.—The Landmark.) Is the Woman White or Colored? William Graham,who escaped from the State prison 13 years ago, after he had served three days of a five-year sentence for larceny,impos- ed in Mecklenburg court,and who voluntarily returned to Raleigh last week and surrendered,is a negro,and not a white man,as may have been supposed.A Philadelphia lawyer ‘is in Raleigh trying to secure the par- don of Graham and it is announced that a “wealthy Philadelphia widow,” who wants to marry Graham,is urg-ing the pardon and is doubtless pay- ing the lawyer.It is probable alsothatGraham’s surrender was basedontheideathathecouldgetapar-don. It is not stated whether the“wealthy Philadelphia widow”is white or black.In this part of the!country this question would be un-|necessary,but in Northern Siatés; marriages between the races are not Many towns are doing muchbetter)Nourish the-scalrdhibited,and are not uncommon.|than others and some are making!Sage and dandruesupposethewomaniscoloredbut Gov.Craig should be certain on that| point before he grants the purdon.

Today there is only one,and the wa- ters of the lake now extend from Pe- dro Miguel lock on the south to Ga- tun locks on the north,a distance of about 33 miles,approximately two- thirds of the canal’s length.(Drills were at work on the dike nearly the whole month of September and it was mined with over 1,200 holes charged with dynamite,The barrier contained about 90,000 cubicyardsofmaterial,or the same num- ber of two-horse wagon loads.Only once since it was built had itfailedinitspurposesThiswasdur- ing the big freshet in the Chagres river of November,1909,when the water came so close to the top,then at 71 feet above sea level,that it was deemed advisable to open the sluice gates and fill the cut with water,in order to avoid danger of heavy wash- ing.‘This was done,and for several| days all work wag suspended andonlythetopsofthesteamshovels were sticking out of the water. Since that time the over-topping of the dike was never seriously threat-ened.When Gatun lake rose to a} height of 50 feet,in the latter part| of 1912,the dike was widened to an| average of 50 feet by dumping clay inside toward the cut and raised to 78.2 feet above sea level. Colored Girl's Fortune and the Giv- ing Away of Public Lands.| |Baltimore Sun.} Did you read the other day about jthat 10-year-old colored girl,Sarah |Rector,who is getting $475 a day, $171,000 a year,from oil?She is said jto be the richest resident of Okla- jhoma and the wealthiest memberof | jher race in the world. |Sarah had the same right to gov-| lernmment land as any other of the 95,000,000 people in America,and jluck in the land-drawing gave her a ‘quarter section that any one else| might have won.A lottery is an im-|partial method of.distribution,if lands are to be given away without jregard to value.But when coal and oil are found in quantities on the pub- tlic domain,it does seem that the| ;whole country should share in the| benefits.To secure settlers it is all ‘yight for the government to give| holders free use of lands for farm jing or grazing,but it is not just «| give away oil and coal worth millions to holders who are no more entitledtoafortunefromUncleSamthan|are the rest of us.This condition| could be reinedied by the govern ment retaining its interest in all oil, coal or other minerals found on pub-jlic lands after they have passed into the hands of private holders.T}at | would give settlers all they have a} right to expect from the governmer and would retain for the public tl |valuable coal,oil and mineral lands Saving By Competitive Bids For Ar- }mor Plate.

Being a fast through freight with no stop at Eufola,the train was run- ning at.good speed when the engine sudderily left the rails at the switchattheeastendoftheEufolasidingandturnedoveronitsside.Fifteenfreightcarsfollowingpiledupalong the track,many of them being crush- ed and twisted and their contents seattered.One of the demolished ecrs was loaded with canned black- berries and others contained furni- ture.The train was in-charge of Conductor Burgin and Engineer Bal- lard,both of Asheville.At the time of the wreck a colored brakeman, Stand Robinson,was riding in the engine with the engineer and color- ed firemen.All three of the train- men were hurled from the cab of the locomotive when it left the rails,all being thrown clear of the wreck and escaping serious injury.The brake- man was thrown probably 50 fect in- to a corn field and was so badly stun- ned that he was unconscious for a time.He was brought to States- ville for treatment and seon recov- ered from the shock and returned to the scene of the wreck.None of the other trainmen needed the services of a physician,their injuries being slight.The conductor and others in the caboose at the rear of the train was naturally not seriously affected. The escape of those who were in the engine at the time is considered re- markable.Engineer Ballard was hort in a wreck at Saluda last Feb- reary and had only recently resumed work.

COMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS The Morganton Messenger is ad- vised that Mr.E.R.Preston of Char- lotte has definitely decided to,con- test with Congressinan Webb for the Democratic congressional nomi- nation in the ninth district._Mr. Webb,by the ‘way,hes not entirely lost the prestige of a possible pro- the hesd of the dndiciary: committee.His friends assert that Congressman,Clayton will’retire from the House at the end of his present term to accept a Federal judgeship,in which event Mr.Webb would succeed him as chairman of the judiciary committee, Charity and Children recently ex- pressed surprise that The Landmark got the initials of a Baptist preacher wrong,and observed:‘Well,well, what is fame but a fleeting shadow!” Doubtless that is what Mr.Walter Thompson,superintendent of the Jackson ‘Training School,thought when he read in the last issue of Charity and Chijdren that his name was J.Walter Thompson.Seeing that Mr.Thompson is about as well known as any of the preachers,Char- ity and Children will observe that it is possible for any of us to suffer a lapse.Mr.Thompson 1s usually known by the single name but _his full “entitlement”is Walter R. *+. It-is said that the death of a Mis- souri judge,who passed away re- cently,is believed.to have been has- tened by criticism of a decision which he rendered,he having held that omission of the word “the”in “against the peace and dignity of the State,”rendered an indictment in- valid.A man so thin-skinned has no business in public life,and yet it is the type of man who would render a a decision like that—a stickler for the technicalities and non-essentials who would take eriticism most’to heart.It would be distressing to know that criticism even of a public man who deserved it had resulted so seriously,but as the omission of the word would neither destroy the sense nor the meaning of the sentence,the criticism was to be expected. cs -* Much has been said in the papers about the mysterious light which can be seen from certain points in Burke county—a light which rises from nowhere,so far as the natural eye can discern,is visible for a time and then passes out.It has been ob- served for years by many Burke peo- ple and finally so much interest was aroused that the government was im- portuned to send an expert to pasy on the mystery.The expert appear- ed-in Burke a few days ago but his research was not satisfactory.The Morganton Messenger says,the ex- pert—Mr.Starrette—arrived in Mor- ganton with his:mind made up that the mysterious light was the head- light of a locomotive and refused to take the matter seriously.The Burke people think the phenomenon was not treated with the consideration which its importance demands and they are,as a result,somewhat in the state of mind of the Alexander county boy who found himself in the penitentiary—they are not pleas- ed at all. **a Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has not only proved himself a fine business man,and has shown the “money power”that it can’t pun ~ government under this administra- tion,as has been the custom of the aforesaid money power for genera- tions,but he has shown that he has} common senseTheotherdyeveryday,practical about little matters._be.eniipred,that:hereafter pigtn -fig-instead of URRREIE:nu Pinte:ureswhich few people understand,be used for the dates on public buildings; and last “week he directed that,here- after the practice of using the old style:“V"for’U's in the inscription ’abandone weir >* eon” Me Atego SOs I PRUE BAebuildingsinfiguresthat 99 per cent of the people can’t read until they dgret a book and look it up?and what'sthesensein:using a V instead of U?

As briefly stated in the last issue of The Landmark,the court of im- peachment,sitting at Albany,con- victed Gov.William Sulzer of New York and removed him from office. The articles of impeachment were as follows: Article 1.—That Governor Sulzer filed with the Secretary of State a false statement of his receipts and other monetary transactions involved in his gubernatorial campaign. Article 2.-—That he committed per- jury in‘his statement to the Secretary of State relative to receipts and ex- penditures. Article 8.—That he bribed witness- es to withhold testimony from the legislative committee which investi- gated his campaign expenditures and receipts. Article 4.—That he suppressed evi- dence by means of threats to keep witnesses from testifying before the legislative investigation,committee. Article 5.—That he prevented and dissuaded a particular witness,Fred- erick L.Colwell,from attending un- der subpoena the sessions of the in- vestigating committee. Article 6.—That he committed lar- ceny in ‘speculating in stocks with money and checks contributed for ‘|his campaign. Article 7.—-That he threatened to use his office and influence to affect the vote or political action of certain public officers. Article 8.—That while Governor he corruptly used his authority or in- fluence to affect the current prices of securities on the New York stock ex- change,in some of which se curities he was at the time interested. The court of impeachment was composed of the members of the State Senate and the nine judges of the State Court of Appeals.Two- thirds majority.was required to con- vict.Sulzer was convicted on the first two articles by a bare majority 89 to 18.He was unanimously ac- quitted on article 3 and convicted on article 4 by a vote of 43 to 14.He $|was found not guilty on articles,5,6, 7 and 8,* Chief Justice Cullen of the Gourt of Appeals Voted “not guilty”on every article and rendered a long opinion in explaining his votes.The other eight judges of the Court of Appeals were divided. The vote to remove Sulzer from office-was 43 to 12,two members not voting.By a virtually unanimous vote the court decided that Sulzer should not be punished by disqualifi- cation to hold office of honor and trust in this State in the future.This would have been the extreme penalty under the law.Sulzer was served with a copy of the court's.verdict Friday evening. Martin H.°Glynn,the Lieutenant Governor,who succeeds Sulzer,is- sued a statement in which he said his endeavor would be “to give the people lof the State an hénest,peaceful,pro- gressive adhd wise conduct of public i affairs.” |Sulzer issued a statement in which he denounced the tribunal which had removed.him «as.‘Murphy's...highfount,of infamy...“Murphy.s.con:itrolled the Assembly and ordered the jimpeachment,”he said.“He.controll- led most of the members of the court land dictated procedure and wrote,the |jodement.He was the judge and the jury;the prosecutor and the bailiff.Sis thieks fn»frontier aoe hoOEE.iA MEN Ra retertire.sate aR rent ler deal.”He chavdcterized «thé ‘se- lerét sessions ‘of -the sourt as “star ,chamber proceedings,Where the ene-'mies of the State could work for my” |convietion undiscovered.”He .assert-led bevhzd not taker tre ptand:18 lown defense beéause he realized that |his story attacking the’Tammany jleader would be ruled out.He enter. jed a general denial of all.the charges j\in the impeachment articles.|Gov.Sulzer,who is a lawyer and a |Democrat,served several terms in |Congress and gained some promi- |nence in the House.Last fall he was elected Governor of New York,his lterm beginning January 1.ctiigieapmstimniitnethanavniapasinants: |Hope Fer the Fourth Class Post- |masters. |Washington Dispatch Citizen.

The Application of the Intra-State Rates May be Some Time in the Future.: The intra-State freight rate bill, passed at the extra session of the Legislature,ratified October 18,pro- vides that the railroad’companies have 60 days from ratification with- in which to file with the Governor affidavits setting out that the rates ate confiscatory or unreasonable and te eall-onthe.Governor to appoint a special commission to ‘investigaté the facts and make report along ‘with whatever adjustment of rates,raising or lowering them,that the commis- sion may deent just.,The act pro- vides for the special commission to have 60 days within which to make the investigation,but the Governor can grant additional time.So that there is really unlimited time for the investigation and while this is going on the rates prescribed in the act are under suspension, It is a known fact,says the Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Ob- server,that all the carriers affected by the act will join in petition for investigation so that the actual op- eration of the act:is considered to be a long way off.One of the com- plaints against the act,in addition to the scale of rates being too low,is that after framing the scales largely after the Minnesota rates the framersoftheNorthCarolinaactapplied these to the North Carolina classifi-cation of freights,which has workedsomeoddconditions.For instance, the Minnesota classifications of lum ber and cotton mill products are en- tirely different from North Carolina classifications,and the effect,it is claimed,is that the North Carolina act has the effect of cutting lumber and mill products rates to less than half the Minnesota rates.It isstatedthatthetableofratesfor various classifications set out in the North Carolina act were designed to be merely suggestive and that the real adjustment of rates will be up to the special commission appoint ed by the Governor when the peti- tions from the railroad companies come in.The North Carolina act provides that after the special*commission finally fixes the tables of rates and adjusts the classifications on what they term a just and fair basis,the railroad companies must put the rat in force for six months and then the whole matter can be re-opened for another adjustment,if it is proven by application of the rates that they need further adjustment. It seems to be a nrooted question as to whether the railroad compa nies can be forced to apply the rate finally fixed by the special commis- sions and the Governor for si fonths before they have recourse to the courts in resisting rates.A que tion of law that will have to be testedoutiswhether,if the rates final ly fixed by the special commission are regarded by the railroad con panies as confiscatory and unjust, they can be forced to apply them for the six months prescribed in the act before they go inté the State or Fed- eral court with litigation to have these matters passed upon.There is the contention that if the rates are confiscatory,or a case made out that justifies litieation on such a pr i tion,that the railroad cannot be forced to apply th« when the losses they.will sust them are irreparable. yposi- companies rates in by “SYRUP OF FIGS”FOR ‘CONSTI-PATED CHILD.

TUESDAY,--~-October 21,1913. Senator Simmons is in favor of Claude Kitchin for chairman of the ways and means committee.As a heaper of coals of fire on the heads of his enemies,Mr.Simmons is a past master.——Thomasville Davidsonian. Editor Oliver of Reidsville is waiting and anxious to have Sena- tor Simmons put some coals of fire on his head. A few weeks ago the Charlotte Ob- server characterized as absurd a story suggesting Senator Simmons as a possible candidate for the Dem- ocratic presidential nomination,The Observer,however,seems to have changed its mind in this respect.Dis- cussing Senator Simmons in its is- sue of Sunday the Observer says his “engineering of the tariff bill” “places him today second only to President Wilson,”and further: In his present position,no man in the Republican party is compara- ble to him.He is the natural lead- er of the Democratic party,and in case Mr.Wilson should not want to run again,Mr.Simnons would be “next.” “We are possibilities and we are impossibilities,”said ex-President| Taft,speaking in Boston the other| day,“but I trust there is no one who doesn’t wish the success of the pres- ent administration of the Inited | States for the benefit of all the peo- ple.When the people declare in fa- vor of a platform,I want to see it carried out and tried.I don’t mind seeing Congress brought under a rule that carries through what that plat- form said.I believe in responsible leadership.If a party in makes mistakes or the people don’t approve of it,my experience has been that the remedy is easy.Until we have again an opportunity to dis- cuss the issues I am for te adminis- tration.” That was breadth worthy of a man who had been President of the Unit- ed States.Mr.Taft was never a politician and the cians in his party confidence,wrecked his tion.But he broad-minded and generous,and left power stand-pat politi- gained his administra- always honest, who was to himself always tried to do the right thing. Discussing Mr.Mann of.Illinois, the Republican leader in the House, who stays on the job all the time, demands a roll call and often pre- vents the transaction of business when the roll call shows the absence of a quorum because Democrats have gone home on business or pleasure trips,the Charlotte Observer says: No one imagined,when this special session convened on April 7 last,that it would run longer than any otherspecialsessioninthehistoryofthe country,continuing until it ran intotheregularseasion:--in-co uencemanoemaderadidnotmake,if theyrgavede,the necessafy aro rangements to avoid dislocation of ;|assuran -aw,he will turn”the rascals out at ineeds the ballot.” The Statesville Land 8rancetothepatriots“beyant the|ridge”that as soon as Collector Wattscanfindtheholeinthecivilservice a rate that will command their ad-miration.Just so.If they will give‘Watts time and do not crowd him,they will see some sweeping that willputanewbroomto.the.blushCharlotteObserver.i ; The collector,however,wishes that the days of miracles had not passed and that the multitude migl®yet be fed on five loaves and two fishes. Gov.Sulzer’s impeachment was to have been expected.While one can feel sorry for the man thus subject- ed to the humiliation and disgrace of removal from a high office,and can have no sympathy with the prosecu- tors,who were not moved by any worthy,purpose,it is apparent that Sulzer was unfit for the position he held.It seems to be a case of where a man had stood in with and profited by the wrongful acts of a corrupt or- ganization.He.decided to abandon his associates.and they drew his past record on him.‘If he abandoned Tammany from worthy motives,with the purpose of walking in the straight and narrow way hereafter, Sulzer deserves some sympathy;but he is suffering now for misconduct in the past. Speaking at the General Conven- tion of the Episcopal Church in New York city,at a meeting held Sunday evening under the auspices of the American Church Tistitute for Ne- groes,Bishop Nelson of Atlanta said: “An immeasurable done when the ballot wrong was was given to eople untrained for citizenship. When freedom and franchise were given the negro he then became the ward of the nation.He still needs to be fitted for citizenship,He needs a vitalizing religion.He needs edu- cation but not so much of the sort which we have been trying to give him—the arts and sciences,the classics and romance,languages and music and theology.He needs in- struction in honor,righteousness, thrift,truth and purity more than he Most of us in this part of the coun- try have known this all along.canna The Charlotte Observer remarks that public curiosity has never been whetted as to trouble at the Mont- rose Sanatorium.The Landmark is of the opinion that when troubles oc- cur at State institution a plein statemerit of the facts should made,not simply to gratify curiosity but as a matter of public policy and because the people have a right to know what is going on at the insti tutions they support.These tutions belong to the people,not to the folks who manage them,aiid as a matter of policy as well as a mat- ter of right,the people are entitled to a plain statement of the facts. Any attempt to conceal or cover up always works harm,for reports of- ten circulate that magnify the trou- bles and impair public confidence. There has been some talk,and some be insti- charges were made at the recent ses sion of the Legislature,of misrman- agement of the affairs of the School for the Feeble-Minded.There investigation by a committee of the Legislature but so far as The Land- woark has “een there was’no public,statement of the facta.As.a-1esult the institution will Sus was be under their business and personal affairs.

Therefore their absenting themselves when public business demands their presence in Washington,except in case of illness or similar emergency, is inexcusable. The Landmark had noted with sur- prise that there was no mention in the newspapers of candidates for the three places Gov.Craig will have at his disposal in connection with the enforcement of the intra-State rate The law provides that in case|the railroads complain that-the rates |named in the bill are unjust or confis-'catory,the Governor shall appoint a|commission of three to investigate |and make recommendations.As the|railroads will certainly com-plain,the commission will have to beappointed,and it wa:surprising that law. almost no names had been mentioned in con.|nection with the jobs.This unusual condition of affairs is now explained.

Berlin Dispatch,17th.oes a The entire German admiralty trialboardofsevenand20othermilitary men were killed today by the ex- plosion in midair of the largest.and newest of the Zeppelin war airships,the “L-[1,”upon which the party was makinga trial flight.Only onepersononboardescaped. The disaster occurred just’abovethemainstreetofJohannisthal,Theshatteredhulkofthe500footairship,a mass of blazing canvas and crump- led aluminum,dropped 900 feet into the public highway.Hundreds ofperwhohad,been wales the ight rushed to the scene.ere wasnothingtobedoneexcepttotakeout the bodies of the victims from the |wreckage.Lieutenant Von Bluel of the Queen Augusta Grenadier Guards,who was mtkinp the trip as a guest,was theonlysurvivorofthewreck.:He wasbadlyinjured.Many of the bodies were so burned and mangled as to tbe unrecognizable.Spectators who had been watching the impressive maneuvers of the “L-IT”saw the gas bag suddenly burst into a glaring-flame and”then fall.A second later the reverberat- ing sound of the explosion reachedthem.It was impossible for some time to approach the flaming dirigi- ble,beneath which the members ofthecrewhadbeencrushedand,burn- ed. Coming so shortly after the de-struction of the “L-I”in a hurricaneintheNorthSea,September 9,when 15 were killed,today’s disaster gave rise toa feeling of consternation —in Berlin.The dirigible,before leaving the balloon hall at Johannisthal,took on board her regular naval crew and a number of officers.She headed for Berlin,a short distance away,in a light wind.Everything was appar- ently in good order on the airship. She was gradually getting up speed when suddenly an explosion was heard by those on the ground,evi- dently in one of the motors in the center of the gondola.Every inch of the canvas covering and the bal- loonets disappeared in a moment. A second and more violent explos- ion was then heard,the reached the gasoline tanks filled with about a ton of liquid fuel.Before the the wreck of the most modern Germany's dirigibles lay mass on the ground.The partments of all the suburbs,with detachments fire of troops,were soon on the spot but there was nothing left to save. Pioneers armed with axes hacked| at the wreckage for two hours before The six inmates of the center gondola had been blown through the sides of the car by the first explosion and their bodies fell a quarter of a mile away from the wreék.All the others except two were apparently killed by the explosion of the gasoline tank Two of the crew were still alivé | when rescuers reached the wreckage One of them,however,died before he waa extricated.The other,Lieuten- ant Baron Von Bluely was desperate ly injured.Both his eyes were burr led out.He urged the rescuers to kiil|him.

MR.DOUGHTON MUCH CHEERED Fighth District Congressman’s Glow- ing Reports of Progress and Pros- perity in the Mountain Country. Washington Dispatch to Charlotte Observer. Representative Robert L.Dough- ton,a mountaineer of mountaineers, has come back to Washington from a visit to Alleghany county,his home, with a most glowing and -cheering story of real progress in North Caro- lina.He says that his people are more prosperous,sober and happy than’ever before in the history of the State.He attributes this state of affairs ‘to prohibition,the enforce- ment of the law,the high price of meats,apples,and other things that the Tar Heel mountain dwellers pro- duce.“Why,”said Mr.Doughton to.the Observer correspondent,“I have nev- er seen such conditions in my section of the State before.There is less drinking and more farming by far than we had there 10 years ago. Some of the illicit-whiskey makers and sellers have been sent to prison, and others have moved away,but a great many of them have quit that business and gone to legitimate en- terprises.“Beef is two cents higher a pound than in years,and the prospect is for a long continuation of good prices. Apoles are selling for $1.25 a bushelandourpeoplehavesomefineones to sell.“J can’t say too nuch or be too strong on this subject.I am not talk- ing for capital,but I simply speak the truth.There is progress in the farming districts of the mountain counties of North Carolina.A great industrial revolution is going on.“The increased sobriety of the peo- ple has helned the schools,—the churches and the general atmosphere of the town and rural communities. The oft-repeated old story that a mountain corn grower had to make whiskey to get rid of his corn does not hold good now,if it ever did. Corn converted jnto fat steers makes fat bank accounts,and the farmers of western North Carolina have found it out. ‘OFFICES TO BE DISTRIBUTED.

There is promise of an early rair of jobs for North Carolinians...If the good people of the State hear any- thing breaking the bushes they need not be frightened,for it will be the sound of Tar Heels going to the pie counter. Senators Simmons and Overman both threaten to turn things loose when they get back to Washington fromthe State,where they are rus- ticating and having a final wordwith “worthy constituents.”There is no doubt that the plum tree is about ready to give up its plums,Every job now held by a Republican,from the position of bank examiner at $5,- 000 to that of watchman at a pub- lic building,is going to be turned over to Democrats., A large number of bankers have recommended the retention of Fed- eral Bank Examiner Fred.A.Hull, who is described as a very capable and satisfactory man,but some Dem- ocrat will get that place as soon as the Congressmen get around to it S.W.Finch of Lexington,J.R.Col lie of Louisburg and S.L.Rogers of Franklin are among those mentioned for this job.Other names are ex- pected before the fight is over. Senator Overman and Manly Me- Dowell are going to have a*heart-to- heart talk at Salisbury and then and there it will be arranged that the Burke county leader wil be giv- en a good position under Secretary McAdoo.That done,Mr.McDowell will not be in the way of Charles Webb of Asheville,who is going to be hog-tied and thrown into the mar- shal’s office.

Tennessee Legislature Passed LawEnforcementBills. The Tennessee Legislature,which frittered away months in filibusters, got busy last week,when called into extra session the second time.The House promptly passed the three law enforcement bills which had passed the Senate at the previous session. The bill prohibiting the shipment ef liquor into the State passed the House by a vote of 92 to four;the bill prohibiting intra -State ship- ments of liquor passed by 86 to 8, while the bill to declare saloons a nuisance passed by 89 to 15.In the Senate the vote cast against thethreemeasuresrangedfrommtwoto five.All of the bills had been en-dorsedat Democratic corferences,while.practigatly,all.the.blicans.and independent Democrats had stood for their passage at the first extra session, In the passage of the bills a com-furnish funds to head off the depre-/those of diseased persons and promise was reached by which .the pen >— {OF thee tre x ves the removal of dereliet ‘offictAls and a provision in the nuisance bill mak- ing it effective March 1,1914,.The >two anti-jug bills becom,effective at once.They are intended to strengthen the Federal law prohib iting the shipment of liquors into dry territory.Although.Tennessee has a State-wide prohibition,it merely prohibits the-sale of liquor within four miles of a schoolhouse and it is claimed that this law would not affect the shipment of —liquor into the State under the Federal statute.The Legislature adjourned after a session of five days.

Burke county court.A few.years ago Mr.C.F.McKesson,aided and abetted by other citizens of Morgan- ton,presented a petition to Judge Boyd,asking his honor to endorse a proposition to establish a term of the Federal court at Morganton.Judge Boyd told them to proceed and Con- gressman Webb probably introduced a bill providing for a term of the court at Morganton,Nothing cameofit,but if the promoters of thepropositionchoosetoreviveitthey will have strong argument in the fact that Burke is furnishing the busi- ness for the court at Statesville.But for the activity of the citizens of Burke the cases at this term of the Federal court in Statesville would have not been sufficient to keep the court going a half day.

Winona Plyler,‘the three-and-a- half-year-old child of Mr.and Mrs. M.S.Plyler of Chambersburg town- ship,died yesterday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock at the Sanatorium, the direct cause of death being men- ingitis.About ten days ago the lit- tle girl was at play in the yard alone and in some manner bruised her hip, though she did not complain of the injury at the time.Later the bruise began to give trouble and when the child was brought to the Sanatorium Monday it was found that an ab- scess had formed in her hip and that her back was also injured.An oper- ation was performed on the hip,but meningitis had developed and the lit- tle sufferer was soon beyond human aid.The child was very bright andactiveandwasfondofjumping from benches,tables,etc.,and it is thought that she was hurt by a fall from a bench.The funeral and burial will take place today at Shiloh Methodist ehurch.

The Fire Fighting Apparatus in theNewMunicipalBuilding—-The +Quarters For the Firemen,the City_Prison,Mayor’s Court Room,Etc. -The municipal building on.Center street,which is virtually a new build-ng,only a partion of the old walls having been left standing,is now mplete with the exception of a littleworktobedoneontheinterior.Thenewcellsforthecityprisonwere installed a few days ago and are nowreadyforthereceptionofcriminals.They are modern in construction and Strictly sanitary.The lower floor of the building is occupied by the fire department and e prison cells,the latter being in the rear of the building.The big motor fire truck,the hose wagon and the ladder truck are so arranged that any one of them may be taken from the building without disturbing the other.The fire truck,which is ex- pected to meet-the demands on most Occasions without the aid of the hose Wagon and regular ladder truck,is most conveniently arranged and can be run out of the building in less time than it takes to tell of it.Thetruckstandsbeneaththeroomoccu-pied by the firemen who have it in charge and when a night alarm comes in the firemen simply ‘slide down a brass pole to the truck,-jerkea cord which throws open the front doors and push a button which starts the gba of the big truck.In addition its excellent chemical equipment the truck carries 1,250 feet of rerular hose,a couple of extension ladders, axes,lanterns,etc.,which will prove Sufficient in most cases of fire.When- ever needed the ladder truck will fol-low the motor truck afd if the hose @arried on the truck is not sufficient 1,000 feet kept in reserve op the hose Wagon is available.In case a second alarm should come in after the motor truck had gone out to answer an alarm,the fire horses can first take the hose wagon to the second fire and then return for the ladder truck. This means that the department is prepared to take care of two alarms at the same time. The upper floor of the building con- tains the mayor’s court room,the of-fice of the chief of police and fire de- ment,three living rooms for the remen and a bath room.The three _firemen—Messra.John A. alker,Earl Moser and John Guy, dr.,—occupy the room directly overthefiretruckandtheother|two‘rooms are occupied by members of |the volunteer fire department.The |mayor’s court room is not yet ready |for occupancy,no fixtures having |been installed.The building is equip- |ped with an electric bell system |whieh is connected with the Iredell |Telephone Company's exchange.In jcease of a night alarm a huge gong jis sounded.When a fire occurs the |person turning in the alarm should tell the telephone operator where the |fire is and she in turn will operate the signals at the fire station.In jaddition to notifying the firemen at |thé station,the telepliéne operator also notifies ‘all members of the vol- unteer fire company r |Judge Leng Did Not Pass on Craw¥- ley’a Case.da the last Scene of,The Landmark. lit-was stated that F.BE.Crawley,who |Was in jail jn Statesville on theichargeofisstworthlesschecks Judge Long on the*As a matter of did.not.pass,on |was discharged by |ground of insanity (moot dadea ft...»~~offétice against the law. Crawley was not under indictment in Iredell court,and as his ces¥§aid not appear on the court’record,the information about him was gathered from the court officers and there was a misunderstanding as to the-facts. Crawley’s counsel,*Mr.-L.C.Cald- well,asked Judge Long.to discharge his client and offered evidence of hiscémmitmenttotheStateHospitalat Morganton.Judge Long replied that as Crawley was not under indictment in this court he could not pass on the case except under a‘writ of habeas corpus.Later it was found that two bills of indictment against Crawley had been before the Iredell grand jury but had been continued for lack of witnesses;that while Crawley had been committed to jail by a magis- trate he had not beén given a pre- liminary hearing,no bail had beenfixedandnoreturnofthecasemadetotheSuperiorCourt.Under the circumstances there was nothing le- gally pending against Crawley;and a Davidson county officer being on the ground ready to take Crawley toLexingtontoanswerchargesthere, the prisoner was turned over to theDavidsonofficer. lean< No Requirements.For ~Agricultural and Domestic Science School.

A correspondent of the Charlotte Observer,writing about South Car- olina politics,says that Hon.W.F. Stevenson of Cheraw,who is an Ire- dell county man,is being discussed as a probable candidate for Con- gress in the fifth district,now rep- resented by Mr.Finley,and also as a candidate for the United States Senate."A gentleman who was In- vestigating these rumors Says he in- terviewed Mr.Stevenson,who said he had not definitely decided whether he would be a candidate for the Sen- ate.Asked if he would be a,candi- date for Representative in Congress, Mr.Stevenson said he certainly would be if Finley is not a candidate again and that “very likely he would offer anyway.”The interviewer says if Stevenson enters the race for the House of Congress he will be “the most formidable candidate and looks like a sure winner.”The Landmark is for the Iredell man for whatever he wants. The Mt.Airy News editor,who al- ways writes entertaining stories about cases in Surry Superior Court, tells an amusing story of a case at the recent term of Surry court.The families of Mr.Venable and Mr. Whitt of Pilot Mountain,says the News,were estranged on account of chickens—a prolific source of trou- ble between neighbors.Finally Mr. Venable reached the point that ag- tion was necessary to relieve his feelings,and gun in hand he called at the Whitt home.He found that Whitt had gone to the field to work and he proceeded to inform Mrs. Whitt that he was going after her husband and that what he would do for him would be amply sufficient. Mrs.Whitt wasn’t pleased with this talk and she got into action.Brine- ing a gun into play she started for Venable and Venable started for the timber.Mrs.’Whitt chased Venable for a quarter of a mile and then find ine him about three-quarters of a2 mile ahead she stopped that he had been chased by a woman so rankled in Venable’s soul that next day he went back to the Whitt home,gun in hand,and stood his ground.The details of the second engagement are lacking.but it is supposed it ended in talk,as there was “nobody hurt and nobody kill- ed.”Mrs.Whitt’s inactivity at this particular time is unexplained,but us she had chased Venable once it is supposed she thought there would be no glory in chasing him again.The case was settled by compromise and peace..ceigna,at.Pilot Mountain.oeNameeaeeeeGEthe PHINppiKes™to ie Settee a President Wilson's message,deliver ed through Governor General Harri-son,was received by cable in Wash-jdangerously wounded Policeman Geo.}Seats the joy of it.

As a result conditions became almost intolerable in localities in Avery andMitchellandattheextrasessionof the Legislature a law was passedthat«prohibits the shippirig intoAveryand,Mitehell counties of any liquer whatever after December 1,1913,except to bona fide druggists, who may dispense the same only up-on prescription from a_practicing physician and are not allowed to du-plicate the prescription.No personfemenquartof,liq--nai ery The fact} ich ‘emfFiatic}< Legisla-ture laws are passed to make the liq- in forIt ;‘ee and the possession of more than that is prima facie evidence of intent to sell contrary to law and subjects the accused te severe penalties.Provis- ion is made for any citizen to swear out a.search warrant before any magistrate or mayor in either coun- ty;whereupon the magistrate or mayor must order the -premises of the accused searched,and /if more than one quart of liquor is found thereon,it is seized as evidence of his guilt.In the same manner,a war- rant may be sworn out for the ar- rest of any person for acting as car- rier or porter of intoxicating liquor, and if any liquor is found in the pos- session of the accused,it convicts him of.selling.It is madé the duty of the sheriff of each county,upon the petition of five taxpayers,to ‘gointoanytownshipforthepurposeof securing evidence against offenders under this act,and even without pe- tition it is the duty of the sheriff to be diligent in apprehending offenders under this law.That certainly ought to hold the Mitchell and Avery boys for awhile.It will probably revive the home in-dustry to some extent awe *** The Landmark is.delighted.to learn that Mr.Webster Flanagan of Flanagan’s Mills,Texas,is still in the flesh.We had supposed,as he had been unheard of for years,that Mr.Flanagan had gone to his.re- ward,but a thoughtful friend at Nashville,Tenn.,sends us a clipping from the Louisville Courier-Journal rontaining a handsome photograph and sketch of “Gen.”Webster Flan- agan (the old man has been promot- ed since The Landmark lost sight of him).Before going further it should be explained that Mr.Flanagan—Gen- eral henceforth—-gained national no-toriety at the national Republican convention at Cincinnati in 1880 when,in his innocence and candor, he blurted out,“What are we here for but the offices?”There was no pretence about Gen.Flanagan.He didn’t pretend that he was a Repub- lican for the public welfare;policies and principles did not appeal to him. He was a Republican for office and he believed—-probably knew—that the balance of the “patrites,”as Mr. Dooly calls them,in that convention were in his class;and being a plain, blunt man,Gen.Flanagan didn't know any better than to blurt out the truth when somebody irritatedhimbytalkingaboutthe“principles” of the “grand old party”;and his re- mark,“What are we here for but the offices?”became famous the coun- try over.The gentleman from Flan- agan’s Mills,Texas,then unknown to fame,became a nation-wide figure. His remark appealed to the late J. P.Caldwell,then editor of The Landmark,and for years he rung the changes on it in The Landmark’s columns. The Courier-Journal’s sketch of Flanagan shows that he held on to Things a Trifle Warm Among Relig-ious Sects in Charlotte.

And the Asheville Citizen, edi- torially,calls the State geologist “George”Hyde Pratt.In the lan- guage of Charity and Children,“what is fame but a fleeting shadow.” ‘The death of Mr.Ashley Horne marks the passing of one of the State’s best citizens.A soldier of the Confederacy,he began life in poverty after the great conflict and accumu- lated a valuable estate.He was a@ philanthropist,a|loyal son of North Carolina and ‘a deservedly honored citizen. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says there is an active campaign on in the House of Congress for the chairmanship of the ways and means committee to succeed Mr.Underwood,who expects to go to the Senate.The avowed candidates are Claude Kitchin of North Carolina,A.Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania,H.T.Rainey of Ll- linois and Winfield S.Hammond of Minnesota,with dark horses tethered in the underbrush.Of Mr. Kitchin the Sun’s correspondent says: The fact that Kitchin is the rank- ing member,however,is not his only claim to recognition.He probably is the best rough-and-tumble debater on either side of the House.He is a veteran legislator and a profound student of American economics.He may lack some of the force shown by Mitchell Palmer,for instance,but he is unquestionably able to take care of himself and his party in any sit- uation.. some ER A case of interest to all towns in the State,and of great importance to the larger towns,was argued in the Supreme Court this week.The city school board of Winston-Salem ap- plied to the county school board of Forsyth county for a part of the county school building fund for Win- ston-Salem schoot’buildings.The county authorities refused the appli- cation,contending that a municipality having separate,specially chartered graded school system such as Win- ston-Salem maintains,has no part in the county fund in question.The case went into court,Judge Cook held with the city and the county appeal- ed.The case is now in the Supreme Court.The average city or town, which pays a big bulk of the county taxes,gets a raw deal in the division, all on account of custom.The city graded school gets from the public school fund the per capita apportion- ment to which it is entitled and&no more.The city provides the extras for its school by special tax,in the same manner as a county school that votes a special tax,which is proper. But the city has to provide for its own buildings,while the county school.district gtts help for build- ere aN the city maintains a policeRoheoot the finés and for- feitures from the police court go in- to the general school.fund...The Landmark has no.purpose to start‘——gid COS: *ny bt Py»tars — Judge Cook it orce al $e ee «j i Js of the opmicn.* preme Court upholds will be doing justice Take note of the local story telling what Statesville has in the way of fire fighting equipment.The Land- mark does mot believe that another town in the State of Statesville’s population is so well equipped to fight fire and it questions if-many of the towns that boast much larger popu- When the motor fire truck was installed a few weeks ago the insurance ‘com- panies made ‘A reduction of 10 cents on all “brick and frame mercantile buildings and contents,”reduction dating from August 29.For this re- lief much thanks.It will be noticed, however,that the reduction applies lation are so well equipped. only to “brick and frame mercantile A prominent ‘megt packer ed the other day that the high price of beef is due to a Shortage.of beef >tand the remedy is with the public.“If every one,”he.said,“would stop eat- ing veal two years and not slaughter any cattle under two years of:age, our supply would get back some- where toward the normal.”It would ‘be impossible to get such an agree- ment and the only way to stop the slaughter of cattle under two years would be by law.A start in,that di- rection has been made\in North Car- olina by passing a law to prohibit the slaughter of calves.A law pass- ed by the extra session of the Leg- islature,which applies to a large number of counties (not Iredell),pro- hibits the slaughter or sale of calves under six months old.This will have little effect,possibly,in conserving the meat supply,but the time limit will probably be extended by degrees, While the law is admittedly intended for a good purpose,there is objec- tion to it as an improper invasion of the rights of the citizen.Hear _the Monroe Journal on this point:— The Legislature has just passed a law prohibiting the killing of calves under a certain age in many coun- ties,the idea being that beef and milch cows are getting so scarce that a man who owns a calf shall not be allowed to kill it,Now,at first thought,this looks like a good law, but it is not.It doubtless is a bad thing generally that so many calves are killed,but to say that it shall be unlawful for a man to kill a calf for meat when he gets ready,or to sell one for meat,is an interference with private business in a way that the law has no right to do.It is poor law and worse common sense.This is not the class of legislation based upon public morals,public health nor public necessity.Men sell calves be- cause it is more profitable to them, at least in their judgment,to sell than to keep them.This law steps in and says you shall keep them wheth- er you think it profitable or not.All such laws are dangerous because of their tendency. That is the old doctrine of person- al liberty,strongly stated.But un- der modern conditions, are passed for the benefit of society as a whole and the individual is not considered;there is hardly any limit to which the law may not go—or it when laws at least seems It does seem hard to say to a man that he shail not kill or sell his calf until the calf has attained a certain age,but it will be contended that if the whole- sale slaughter of calves is destroy- ine the future supply of milch cows ant.beef cattle,then the slaughter must be stopped for the general pub- lic good,and the individual rights of the citizen must be sacrificed for the general good;and there ye are, as Mr.Dooley would say.Many laws have been passed in North Car- olina to which strenuous objection has been made as an invasion of the liberty of the individual,but the an- swer hasbeen that the good of the whole is superior to the rights of the individual;and the same argument will apply in the calf case. 80.

The President is convinced,on looking into the facts,that it was never intended that deputy marshals and deputy collectors should be un- der the civil service.Therefore he has arreed to let these pass,but Dem- ocrats are warned that this does not mean that there is to be a general breaking down of the civil service and a revival of the spoils system. emAe nnn et Absentee Senators Criticised.

Dobbs County is Now Lenoir and Greene Counties. Mr.H.8,Goodnight of Sharpes- burg township sends The Landmark word that the territory which was formerly Dobbs county is now Lenoir and Greene counties.Dobbs county was abolished of account of the un-popularity of Gov.Debbs,for whom it was named. Mr.Fred H.Deaton of Statesville, a student at the University,writes The Landmark more fully about the matter,the information being gainedfromtheColonialRecords.In 1758 a bill was passed by the Colonial As- sembly and approved by the Royal Governor,providing for the division of Johnston county.One part oftheterritorywascalledJohnston county and the other Dobbs county in honor of the Royal Governor.The county bore the name of Dobbs un- til about the time of the Revolution, when it was divided into Lenoir and Glasgow counties.Dobbs county wasabolishedbecauseofthehatredthat had grown'\up against the Royal Gov-ernor.‘ The Landmark had the facts in Wheeler’s history but neglected tolookthemupwhentheinguirywas made.Dobbs county was changed to Lenoir and Glasgow counties in 1791andin1799Glasrowcounty.was changed to Greene.

Mr.W.R.Sells and Misses TishiaandQuillaSellsofStatesvillewereadvisedSaturdaythattheirbrother, Marshall Sells,had been killed Fri- day night at Palmerville,Stanly county.They left at once for Pal-merville,accompanied by their cous- in,Policeman John Sells.According to the report of theSalisburycorrespondentoftheChar- lotte Observer,Marshall Sells,30 years old,and a blacksmith in theemployoftheH.B.Hardaway Com-pany,was killed by an unknown ne- gro.Palmerville,an old town,is four miles from Whitney and the sceneofthemajorpartofthepresent operations of the Southern Aluminum Company,which is developing the Whitney waterpower on the narrows of the Yadkin.It seems from re- ports brought by railroad men and others coming from Whitney,says the correspondent of the Observer, that there was a good bit of drink- ing around the labor camps Friday night.It is stated that Sells;a good citizen and well thought of in his community,fell out with a black and, with the assistance of a companion, thrashed his adversary and turned to leave.A crowd had gathered,it ap- pears,and an unknown negro fired at the white man,a bullet from a 44- caliber pistol striking Sells in the back and going through him.Sells is said to have walked about 100 yards,when he fell and died in the road. (The coroner’s jury Saturday could not fix the guilt of the killing.Three negroes have been jailed at Albe- marle,charged with being connected with the crime.j Extra policemen were placed on duty at Palmerville Saturday night and a quantity of arms shipped there in anticipation of possible further trouble. GOOD ROAD DAYS IN IREDELL. Public Spirited Citizens Urge That the Days Be Observed in Iredell. Wednesday and Thursday of next week,November 5 and 6,are Good Roads Days in North Carolina,sc proclaimed by Gov.Craig,and all able-bodied citizens are urged by the Governor to give these two days to work on the public highways.Dr. Alexander,president of the State Farmers’Union,has issued a procla- mation urging the members of that organization to take a hand in the work:and county commissioners and school boards all over the State are urging the work on the people.In some counties organizations have been perfected to carry on the road work during the two days;leaders have been appointed to map out and direct the werk,and some countics have offered prizes for the greatest amount of work done in any town ship - So far &&The Landmark knows, no formal action has been taken in Iredell looking to the observance of these days,but some of the citizens of the county are anxious that they shall be observed and have asked The Landmark te urge “the cause”So much good road work has been done in Iredell that most of our folks probably think none is needed just now.But there can’t be too much. Many of th -Supnraresy ”Ee OT ange Work;and many sections of tie ntw *rouds doubtless would:be.the better if dressed off with a road drag. Whatever ,work--if any——is dome in Iredell will be voluntary of course; and at the instance of public spirited citizens in the county,who think the occasion should not be allowed to pass unnoticed in one of the leading good roads counties of the State,The Landmark suggests that the people of the different communities,or townships,who will engage in the work,get together,organize and plan work for the Good Roads days. The town people must remember that they are included in this road- working bee,for the Governor dis- tinctly calls on all able-bodied citi- zens.Only a doctor’s certificate will excuse.All the male citizens of the town who can should go or send a hand;and every man who owns an automobile should go himself and furnish a hand in addition. Really we people in Iredell shouldobservetheGoodRoadsDaystokeep alive the good roads spirit in the county.Now that we have built some~good.roads-we haven't as many as we need—we should not think the work is done and sit quiet until our good roads are worn out, That’s our danger.

Evangelist Crabtree Would -Change’ Prison Conditions and Especially‘Life in Convict Camps—State Camp on Statesville Air Line Road Criticised. 'A large audience heard the lecture at the First Presbyterian church Sunday night by Rev.Geo.W.Crab- tree,prison evangelist for the South- e Presbyterian Church,who “hasbeeninIredellforaweek.Mr.Crab- tree has been waging a campaign for prison reform for years,has hadvariousexperiencesinhisworkandspeaksfrompersonalknowledgeofrisonconditions.He told of many nstances of cruel treatment of con-victs in Texas under the old system of leasing the convicts to private eitizens and corporations,and com- d them with the better conditions in that State today.The convicts in Texas today are given better carethanformerlyandarepaidtencentsaday,which amount may be sent home to their families,who are often in need.The State of Colorado has adopted a system which is in keep-ing with the views of the prison evangelist.In that State the con- victs are given access to libraries, are not confined in the ordinary cells, and are taught the things that are ealeulated to make them better men when they leave the prison instead of crushing the manhood out of them.If a man is kept caged up like a wild beast,said the prison evangelist,he will become as a beast and it is dan- gerous to turn him loose in a com- munity. Speaking of conditions in North Carolina,Mr.Crabtree said that most of our State convicts are as- signed to railroad work and are “packed in small camps like sardines.”He deplored the fact that the women convicts do not have a matron to care for i instead of men,that the boys are confined along with harden- ed criminals,and all convicts nmrustsleepincrowdedcellsthatarenotkeptinasanitarycondition.Simi- lar conditions exist in many of our county jails,which are a shame to humanity.North Carolina havingfailedtoprovideachaplainforher prison farm,a Philadelphia mission beard has sent a chaplain to the farm and he is doing excellent work amongtheconvicts.Christ came to save sinners,and if the criminals are thechiefsofsinners,certainly’they shovld be saved.The PresbyterianChurehhasdecidedthattheyare worth saving and for this reason has employed a prison evangelist. Speaking of local conditions,Mr. Crabtree said that he found gambling was allowed on Sunday at the State camp on the Statesville Air Line rail- road.Being without literature or harmless recreation and amusement, the convicts indulge in gambling to pass away their idle time.Such con- ditions should not exist,declared the evangelist.Their evil effects were shown recently at the camp when one convict.stabbed anothed with a knife as the result of a quarrel over a gambling debt Mr.Crabtree says he believes the captain of the Air Line ¢amp to be a good moral man,and the convicts seem to like him,but therests ‘room tor much improvementatthe-ramp.f Deaths.

And the greater part of the purchase was made in half an hour.The Can- non Mills,located at Concord,Al- bemarle and Karingpolis,consume between 70,000 and 90,000 bales a year,so that Mr.Cannon’s purchase, large though it was,will be sufficient for only about four months. The price paid for the cotton aver- aged between $70 and $75 a bale. The delivery of most of it is option- al within the months of October November.Fifteen thousand of the 28,000 bales were bought in Wilming- ton and the remainder was bought at various places.?

Uncle Sam Will Notify Nations’oftheWorldThatTheyMust"NotMeddleinMexicanAffairs. Washington Dispatch. The United States government is preparing to notify the nations of the world generally that any interfer-Jence in Mexican affairs will be re-garded as unfriendly to this govern- ment.President Wilson,Secretary Bryan and Counsellor John Bassett Moore,of the State Department,have ex-changed ideas on what the proela-mation to the world should,express.It will be communicated to foreigngovernmentseverywhereinlinewiththepolicyestablishedearlierofkeep- step taken in its handling of theMexicanproblem.‘The proclamation or note also will serve,it is understood,as an ex- plicit definition of the policy of theUnitedStates.toward the de facto authorities in Mexico,reiterating theeoneienthatrecognitiononlycan e-given to those governments on this hemisphere founded on law and order. Two things,it is known,have con- tributed to the determination of the government to define its policy—the presentation by Sir Lionel Carden, the British minister to Mexico,of his credentials immediately after Huerta had proclaimed himself dictator,and the dispatch of several war vessels to | Mexican water.| The British embassy here,at the di-| rection of the foreign office,officially| advised Secretary Bryan that the British government pronounced as unauthentic the now famous inter- view credited to Sir Lionel,express- ing the view that the United States did not understand conditions in Mex- ico. Another incident that was regarded | with significance was the assurance that came from Ambassador Jusser- and to the State Department that the French government in sending a warship to Mexican waters,did not| intend in any way to embarrass the| United States.Officials indicated| satisfaction over the apparent trend of the French government’s attitude. There is a possibility that if the powers indicate further unwillingness to enibarrass the United States,this government may withhold its pro- nouncement,but some officials were of the opinion that sooner or later such a declaration,which they re- garded as tantamount to a reaffirma-tion of the principles of the Monroe doctrine,would be required, j The President's Thanksgiving Proc- lamation.

Though the State Department has not been informed officially of the re- ported purpose of General Huerta to deciare Genera]Blanquet as having been elected,it is certain that,in line with previous declarations,the .elec- tion of last Sunday will not be recog- nized as constitutional. The inability of the Huerta govern- ment to conduct a constitutional elec-| tion,it is thought,will lead the Amer- ican government to suggest a meth- od of holding the elections in which safeguards and guarantees can be given which will rmit the consti- tutionalists to participate freely.Dip- lomats cae believe that before suggestions concerning any election can be carried out the elimination of Huerta from the situation must be accomplished.

A capital idea,in The Landmark’s judgment,not only for religious ‘work but for the betterment of the country educationally and.socially. The decadence of the country church- es;about which we hear so much,is because the preachers have so large- ly deserted the country.A country church cannot grow and thrive when the pastor lives in town and the only time his congregation sees him is when he goes to fill his appoint- ment,once or twice a month.He preaches and hurries away and is usually seen only at.church except iri cases of funerals,or some similar occasion,when he is sent for.Thepreachernaturallywantstoliveintownfortheeducationalandsocial advantages the town gives his fam- ily.But if any denomination is to do real work in the country its min- isters must go there and live among“the people,must be leaders of thepeopleandexerttheirinfluencetoprovideeducationalandsocialad- vantages for the rural districts:andtheirdenominationsmustbackthemintheseefforts. teen **«It would be supposed that with the divreien of the ‘atre plantations of the South into small farms and moreprosperousagriculturalconditions,that the number of landowners hadincreased.But according to thestatisticsthecontraryistrue.Herearethestatistics:In North Caro- lina 30 years ago,33 farmers in every100weretenants;the number is now42.In South Carolina the increasehasbeenfrom50in1880to63in1910.In Georgia the number hasrisenfrom44to65;in Alabama,from 46 to 60;in Mississippi,from has | to the situation in the position taken by the Biblical Recorder,that the |State Legislature pass a law not to require but to allow prayer and Bi- ible reading in the public sehools’?

But if.one may judge by the posi- tion of ministers and laymen of the Methodist denomination who *have spoken,and the position of the two Christian Advocates (the organs of the denomination),that Churchseemslargelyinfayorofthepro-posed amendment.The Presbyte- rian Synod,as has been noted,went on record as favoring the amend- ment,which was rather surprising, in view of the conservatism of that Church and its aversion in the past to taking action as a Church on pub- lic matters of this character.The Christian Sun,organ.of ‘the Chris-tian denominstidn,and edited by Dr. Atkinson,afi able and scholarly man,was-also in favor of the amendment.These facts are stated,not with aviewtostirringupstrifeamongthereligiousdenominationson_this question,nor with a view to keep- ing alive agitation about a matterwhich“has been settled for the time; but they are stated as informationandasevidencetosupportTheLand- mark’s conclusion,recently stated, that instead of this.question being dead and finally disposed of,as its opponents fondly hope,the fight fortheamendmentisjustbeginningand we will unquestionably hear very much more about it in the future.

Stevenson,M.D.On sale at Brady Printing Office,States- residence at rice 50 cents ville,and at m Mooresville SERMON ON THE REFORMATION Founding of the Early Church andtheDivision—Summary of a Ser-mon By Rev.W.A.Lutz. Preliminary to his sermon on.the Reformation,at St..John’s Luthoran church Sunday morriing,Rev.W.A. Lutz,the pastor,read the.17th chap- ter of Revelations,which ProtestantsholddescribestheChurchofRome—~the woman on the scarlet coloredbeasthavingseven’heads and ten horns,the woman’“drunken with the. blood of the.saints.”The text.was ist Peter,1:25:“The word of theLordendureth.And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”Mr.Lutz described the founding oftheChristianChurchbyJesusChrist.It was a Charch of simplicity,.a faithsuitedtoallclassesand.conditions.Christ said to Peter,‘Upon thig rock will I build my church and the gatesofhellshallnotprevailagainstit.” Isaiah described it (35:8)when he said:“And an highway shall be there and a way,and it shall be called The way of holiness;the unclean shall not pass over it,but it shall be for those:the wayfaring men,though fools,shall not err therein.”The Church is here to stay,the gospel is to be preached to every creature.“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be damned.”The gospel spread from the early Church for a time,but trouble arose.That hasbeenthehistoryoftheChurch.For a time it goés on plezsantly,.souls are gathered in,and then the worldly spirit takes hold and diverts the Church. The early Christians were scatter- ed by persecution all over the world and in this way the gospel was spread;and under persecution many deserted the truce faith.Later some drifted away from the plan of salva- tion.This is not surprising,as be- jfore the invention of printing eopies of the Bible were few and many preachers even never saw a copy. Martin Luther was a young man in college when he first saw a copy of the Scriptures.There being so fewcopiesoftherevealedWorditisnot surprising that heresies crept in, When the Goths invaded the country the head of the Church was located at Constantinople and when the Goths were driven out there were two heads,one at Constantinople and one at Rome.The Church divided on small differences and rigid dis- cipline was adopted.Any utterance against the creed was severely pun- ished.By and by the Church of Rome began to put its own interpre- tation ot the Bible and the dictation of the Church was put above the Word of God.In 1027 the Church at Rome decided that the Bible was not all the Word of God and that what had been handed down by tra- dition was far superior and more im- portant and binding than the written revelation. At the Tridentine Council,or the Council of Trent,about 1560,the ordinances were increased from two ~-baptism and the Lord’s Supper— to seven.Later it was decided that a minister should not marry and the celibacy of the priesthood was estab- lished.It was also provided that no priest should own or read a copy of the Bible.They didn’t want the peo ple to read the Bible and the idea was that if the priest did not read it jthe people would not.But many pec |ple who had Bibles held on to then |Then the inquisition began to ascer itain who had Bibles and to deprive the people of them.The Church of |Rome held that if the people read jthe Bible each-one would put his in- terpretation on it and confusion |would arise;that the proper way wa for the Pope to read and interpret, hand down his interpretation to th« ipriests and the priests:would give it ito the people.Nobody could own or 'read a Bible under the orders of the |Church and people were put to death for reading the Bible.But in the jface of death they held on to th ible and read it,hiding the Book i all sorts of places to keep it from being taken from them.In one it jstance a copy of the Bible was savec iby a good woman baking it in aofbe"ot this was-ane of ma ‘im mane ‘ To get the people to respect the |priests,the Church of Rome decided jthat nobody must pray directly to 'God.If all calted on Goi,it was |held,there would result a Babel ofjeonfusion.The great God couldn’t jbe bothered with all this talk.But —~ oo ny i ple should pray to Mary,the motherofJesus,and such petitions as were Son,who would in turn present them to the Father.In addition there was praying to saints;and at communion the wine is not given to the people; the priests drink the wine and givethebreadalonetocommunicants. The people became restless and allovertheworldtherewasconfusion. Men rose up to oppose the ChurchandtheChurchputthemtodeath burned them at the stake in Germany,France,England,Bohemia,Italy and elsewhere,by the thousand.There was the massacre of St.Bartholo- mew's Day,August 24,1572,in which 32,000 French Huguenots, men,women and children,were slain in one day,at which the Pope laugh- ed and sang the Te Deum;and the slaughter continued throughout the provinces for a month,until,accord- ing to one historian,70,000 were slain.The Romish Church believed that in killing these heretics—all arehereticswhorefusetoacceptthat Oct,24~8t,S.W .STEVENSON.

It was a coincidence that,in theProvidenceofGod,the art of printing was iny¢hted in that same century ofLuther’s birth and that America wasalsodiscoverednineyearsafterhisbirth.But for the printing pressitwouldhavebeenimpossibletodis-seminate the Sctiptures as LutherdisseminatedthemandthediscoveryofAmericaofferedaplaceofrefuge for the persecuted. The story of Luther’s life was told by Mr.Lutz.A poor boy,while beg- gifig on the street he was taken in |the plan prescribed was that the peo-| |proper Mary would present to her} and adopted by a childless wealthy couple.In the University of Erfurt, which he entered in 1501,he received the degree of Master in 1505.Aboutthistimehishealthwasnotgoodandwhilerestingfromhisstudieshe went to the University library to read.There he found a Bible,the first copy he had ever seen,and when the opened it to read his eye fell onthesewordsinHabakkuk,“The just shall live by faith.”That was the beginning of Luther’s interest in re-ligion and the foundation of his won-,derful career.Reading the Bible herealizedthathehadbeentaught wrong.He was ordained a priest,was chosen a professor in the college at Wittenberg and became a monk. Luther thought his view of religion would please the Pope.He did not know then that he was going con- trary to the teachings of Rome.In 1510 he visited Rome and wasamazedtofindtherethepriestsliv- ing in gluttony and _licentiousness. St.Peter’s church was being built at that time and it was a custom forthefaithfultoclimbtheironstepsofthatchurchontheirbareknees. Luther started to climb the steps andthenherememberedthewordsof the Scriptures,“The just shall live by faith.”“What a fool I am,he cried,”and stopped. “In 1512 Luther was a.doctor of theology at Wittenberg and his pro- found learning and eloquence drewlargeaudiences.He had at that time no controversy with the Pope but thought his course would be pleasing to the Pope.The controversy was precepitated by the sale .of “indul- gences.”This aroused Luther’s in- dignation and resulted in his nailing the 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg.This caused great com- motion,Luther was summoned _to Rome and refused to go.His con- trove:with Mr.Eck at Leipzig in 1419,in which he denounced the sale of indulgences and questioned the authority of the Pope,resulted in his excommunication from the Church of Rome.He publicly burned the doc- ument of excommunication at Wit- tenberg.Many of the electors (gov- ernors)of the county wert friends of Liither and the fact that he had in- filuentjal,friends saved him from be-ing killed.When summoned to the Dict of Worms in 1521 he was given safe conduct by the emperor through the influence of these powerful friends and was thus enabled to go to Worms in safety.At Worms he refused to recant and uttered the fa- mous declaration that has come sounding down the ages,“Here I stand,God help me!” On the return from Worms Luther was secretly taken to the castle of Wartburg,where he was in conceal- ment about two years and spent his time translating the Bible from Latin and Greek to German and that translation remains unchanged to this day.The English transla- tion has been revised but the trans- lation of Luther is unchanged.WiththistranslationbyLuthertheWord ports to be a copy of the oath taken by the Knights of “umbus,a secret organization /comelaesb (war a tre for this reason he did not use it. “The Catholi¢s can't hurt us,”he said, |so long as we have the open Bible and rthe schools and men read and think for themselves.The Catholic Church can succeed only.where ignorance |abounds: }|Webb’s Apple Crop and the Mar- }shalship. |Greensboro News. |We cannot imagine what on earth C.A.Webb wants with a marshal- ship,but the apple crop in his mag- nificent Buncombe orchard prac- \tically a failure this year,and he ;probably feels that he ought to har- |;vest something,for prudence sake.7 is Wilmington ladies have organized a Housewives’League for the pur- pose of decreasing the cost of food- stuffs and the enforcement of sani- tary regulations in that connection.

Five bags of North Carolina chest- nuts,shipped from Mt.Airy,were seized in Washington under the pure food law on account of worms in the chestnuts.If wormy chestnuts are to be excluded from the market (and they should be)the chestnut industry will be practically extinguished until a way is found to keep the worms out,for in almost any lot of chest- nuts 50 to 75 per cent will be found to contain worms.eee Invitations to the wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson are being sent out.If you don’t get one,take consolation in the fact that you don’t have to send a present and that White House weddings are much like other wed- dings.The invitations read as fol- lows: “The President and Mrs.Wilson re- quest the pleasure of the presence of -—at the wedding of their daughter,Miss Jessie Woodrow,to Mr.Francis Bowes Sayre,on Novem- ber the twenty-fifth,nineteen hundred and thirteen,at half-after four o'clock,at the White House.” The Dry Goods Economist,which is a trade paper,not a political one, thinks the outlook for trade is good, now that the tariff bill is out of the way.Instead of the tariff bill bring ing depression,there is a general feeling of optimism in trade circles, says this authority.It thinks there will be a gradual lowering of prices which will benefit the consumer and the distributer of goods;that operat- ing under a lower tariff the American manufacturer will be spurred to keen- er endeavor by direct competition,and that instead of lower wages the result may mean higher wages.The pro- may not be able to see the picture in so favorable a light but the facts are so much against them that they are stricken dumb. tectionists Each of the 2,000 applicants for the half income tax jobs in this State—each of the 2,000 expects to get one of the half dozen places— who expected to get Christmas mon- ey from Uncle Sam,has not only been disappointed to learn that the jobs will not until after Christmas,but an additional sorrow is the mews that the paw will be $3 a e-«day instead of 34 ta.87 as first announced.None of the 2,000, however,will withdraw ef these troubles. dozen be assigned om.account One man could probably do all the work in connec: tion with the income tax collections in North Carolina,and the present forces under the collectors of inter- nal revenue doubtless have ample time to do all the extra work and more;but it is the custom,in most government jobs,to give about three men the work of one.pee The President’s remarks at Phila- delphia were characteristic of the man.“If you think too much about being re-elected,”he said,“it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.” All of which is true.The public ser- vant who,the minute he gets into of- fice,begins to trim his sails to holdhisjob,is not a faithful public ser- vant.He will do things his consci- ee ? and it is entirelyfitting that the boys’pig clubs should follow the corn clubs,The national Department of Agriculture will push the organiza- tion of the pig clubs in the Southern States and the institution of the work is.a matter for congratulation. Whenever there is plenty of “hog and hominy”the country is safe. It seems to be settled,since.Mr. Chas.A.Webb is to be marshal,that Solicitor Hammer of this district will be appointed district attorney.But for the side-tracking of Manly Me- Dowell of Burke to make Webb mar- shal,Mr.Webb would have’been dis- trict attorney!The undoing of Mr. McDowell saved Mr.Hammer.The appointment of Mr.Hammer means that Gov.Craig will have to appoint a solicitor for this district.Mr.Hay- den Clement of Salisbury is a candi- date and there may be others, ene OECTAREALLESAT The railroad companies will take note by the attitude of Gov.Craig, as expressed in his Charlotte speech, and the purpose to continue the or- ganization of the Just Freight Rate Association,that the fight for justice in’the matter of freight rates in North Carolina is by no means ended; in fact it has just begun for the peo- ple are just now becoming aware of what they have endured.The con- cessions granted are just the begin- ning,the people feel,of what is real- ly due them and we will not hear the last of the freight rate agitation un- til full justice is done.It would be wisdom for the railroads to do jus- tice in this matter without waiting to be forced,but the railroad way is to concede nothing except under com- pulsion and by this method is lost all the credit for any concession made. What Sickness and ‘Death Costs the State in a Year. Bulletin State Board of Health, On an average,for every death during a year,there are two persons sick throughout the year.Over 40 per cent of all our deaths are either preventable or postponable.There- fore,of our 40,000 North Carolinians who were last year swept into the great beyond,something like 16,000 should be with us today. We might as well admit the facts. Here they are:16,000 North Carolin- ians are being sacrificed annually on the altar of ignorance and lethargy. Within the memory of some of us, common laborera were bought and sold for $750 to $1,500 apiece.May we assume that the average value of these 16,000 of our beloved ones is $1,700 each,or a total of over.$27,- 000,000?That is a tremendous loss to our State—a heavy drain on our State’s wealth. We have 80,000 North Carolinians sick the year around.Half of this sickness ia preventable.That leaves our needless sick loss at 40,000 for their entire time.Assuming that one-third of our sick are-in the earn- ing or productive period of life and earn on an average only $700 a year, we have,therefore,13,300 times 700 ér over $9,000,000,.Add $9,000,000 more for medicine,nursing and special food,and we have over $18,- 000,000 as our annual loss from sick- ness.This makes a total annual loss to North Carolina of $18,000,000 plus $27,000,000,or over $45,000,000 an- nually.

The stamps sell for one cent each and are used to stick on letters to show the user's interest in the tuber- culosis work,and to ask the inter- est of the one to whom the package or letter is sent.Banks and business houses use them on all the mail they send out during December.Stores use them on Christmas deliveries,shops on pay envelopes,and every- body on all kinds of mail;400,000 seals were sold last year in the State Sale and it is hoped that we can increase the sales to more than one million this year.

Commissioner Young Investigating. State Insurance Commissioner Young.says the Raleigh correspond-ence of the Charlotte Observer,is in- vestigating charges made against aprominentwesternCarolinafirein- surance man who is maintaining an agency for quite a number of fire in- surance companies,and it is under- stood that a number of other agents are to be investigated.The charges made allege irregularities in issuing insurance policies,through giving re- bates to insurers.Such offences con- stitute grounds for cancellation of.li-censes. Commissioner Young has also be- gun investigation into charges madé against a number of life insurance agents and medical examiners in a number of eastern Carolina towns, including Kinstor,that they~have been issuing policies to insurers un- der fraudulent conditions,including the insuring of aged people as of in- surable age. (The fire insurance concern under ’charges is Fred Rutledge &Co. Asheville,and the life insurance agents are C.F.Smith and M.R.

In a damage auit in the Federal court at Asheville it developed that the amount of damages allowed the plaintiff was reached by each juror naming the sum he was willing to give,then all the amounts were added together and divided by 12,the result of this calculation being the “quo- tent verdict.”The defendant,D.J. McDonald of Ulinois,asked that the verdict be set aside on the ground that it was illegal and A,K.Hyder, a juror,was offered as a witness to show that the verdict was reached in the manner claimed.Judge Boyd refused to allow the juror to testify, holding that he could not impagn the action of the jury of which he wasamember.The case was appealed and is now before the Supreme CourtoftheUnitedStates.: Saunders Plead Guilty and Will Quit.

In a speech before the Just Freight Rate Association in Charlotte Tues- day night,Gov.Craig.declared thatthefight“for justice in the matter of freight rates has just begun and will continue until the last resources of the State are exhausted.Urging that the organization of the Just “Freight Rate Association be continued,he said the association had done more to secure the concessions already made than anything;that it was the re-sistless power of public opinion, aroused through the association,that had done the work. With reference to the appointment of the commission:to adjust the in- tra-State freight rates,the Governor said:“f serve notice now that I will appoint this commission without regard to personal considerations,po- litical considerings or geographical considerations.Ef I ean find three men in Charlotte,or in the smallest town in the State,who are best fitted for this great responsibility,Vil ap- point all threé from one township.” The men he would appoint,he said, would be three as high-class men as ean be found in North Carolina and there need be no long drawn-out con- test in settling the matter.It should all be settled by Christmas,or by February at latest.The Governor said he would insti- tute suits before the Inter-State Commerce Commission to secure ad- ditional concessions in inter-State freight rates. At the conclusion of the Govern- or’s remarks the ,Charlotte Just Freight Rate Association voted to continue the organization.

CONGRESSMEN VIOLATE LAW. Draw Pay When They Are Absent,Which the Law Prohibits, Washington Special to Greensboro News. If the law was complied with strict- ly thousands of dollars in Congress- men’s salaries and mileage would be saved to the.government because of the long continued absence of over 200 of thé.members of the House of Representatives.However,to:-findoutwhythelawisnotcompliedwithinthisrespectisverymuchlikeyourpetdogchasinghisowntail—each official of the government sends the inquirer on to the next man,and meantime.the Speaker is signing thepaperswhichresultinonefull month’s pay being sent to every mem- ber of the House. here are several members of the House who have been drawing $17.80 a day for salary and from 40 to 80centspermileformileage—40 if only the regular session and 80 if an ex- tra session as is now the case—who have not been at the capitol at all this session.Only recently the mem- bers of one of the principal commit- tees found an entire stranger sitting in their midst and were surprised to learn that the meek stranger was a new member who had been absent continuously almost from the first day of the session,and had beeh drawing pay at the rate of $7,500 a year.‘Probably few people,outside Of the men themselves,know that there is a law requiring Congressmen to forfeit their pay when absent due from other causes than sickness.But there is a law on the books,The provision which covers the subject is found in sections 40 and 41 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States, which read as follows: “The secretary of the Senate and the sergeant-at-arms of the House, respectively,shall deduct from the monthly payments of each member or delegate the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate and House _respectively unless the member or delegate as- igns as a reason for such absence the sickness of himself or of some member of his family, “Section 41——-When any member or withdraws from his seat net return before the ad of Congress he shall,in Congress delegate and does journment addition to the deductea salary for each day,forfeit a sum equal to the amount which would have been al lowed by law for his traveling ex penses in returning home;and such sum shall be deducted from his.com pensation;unless his withdrawal is with the leave of the Senate or House of Representatives,respec tively.” “Something will have to be done to keen members in their seats,”said a leading Democratic Congressman a few days ago.“Mempers of Con- gress.who are supposed to make laws should not themselves break them with such ease of conscience.” If the House should adjourn now, or before the regular session meets in December,there are few,mighty few Congressmen,who would not col- lect that 40 cents a mile for his re- turn home and back to Washington again,though he probably would not use a penny of the amount for actu- al traveling expenses, Notwithstanding the law as quot ed above the sergeant-at-arms of the House and the secretary of the Sen ate is paying the satary checks be- cause the clerk signs the vouchers and the clerk is signing the vouch- ers because it is a habit and the gen- eral situation is that unless some one gets up on the floor of the House- which'is not likely to be done—and calls attention to.the faw,the,checkwillcontinuetobepaid.} Negro Killed By Sheriff's Posse As a |Result of Highway.Robbery.| Wadesboro Dispatch té Greensboro| News .};otAiunknownnertp,one of two ai-}iegor artnwiyt,..o;was BNO toe desth)‘under command|of Sheriff Lowery of Anson county,|about 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon|on the main highway leading into|Wadesboro.| The killing by the sheriff's posse|was the result of three desperate and aaa wae ' THE CRIES OF THE KINGDOM.

Greensboro News.‘ “Competition among railroads has become a thing of theWeig for the larger lines have.entcred into a com- bination among themselves and by their power to destroy have forced and coerced the smaller lines to do their will ***and the strang- ling of commerce in one section in order that it may thrive in another has come to be the order of the day.” That statement in the speech made to the North Carolina Lumber and Timber.Association by E.J.Justice is the foundation of the war for su- premacy now.going no between the State of North Carolina and the rail- road companies.“It is not an attack on the carriers.It is simply a strug- gle to gain for the State an acknowl- edgement of its power to enforce justice and equity within its borders. The law of North Carolina forbids monopolieg..But monopolies exist, nevertheless,in fact,if not in name, in transportation. Y etike a vole from the dead,”says Mr.Justice,come the words of Sena- tor Vance,when he was struggling with this same problem.Of monop- olies in the Middle Ages Vance said: “The prying ‘eyes of the govern- ment’followed the butcher to the shambles and the baker to the oven; the peasant could not cross a river without paying to some nobleman @ toll;nor consume his grain until he had sent it the lord’s mill to be eround;nor full his clothes on his own works;nor sharpen his tools at his own grindstone;nor make wine, oil nor cider at his own press *_» the lands were subiect to an ‘astric- tion’of their inhabitants to particu- lar mills for the grinding of grain that was grown on them.*** “And now a region of country embracing in North Carolina alone a population of 800,000 souls is under an ‘astriction’as to everything they sell abroad and everything they buy from abroad.Three men,or at most half a dozen,compel these 800,000, by force of cireumstances as rigid as positive law,to ship and _re-ship everything on their own lines”of transportation at their own prices. No ‘multure,’‘thirlage,’or thraldom of the Middle Aves was more inex- orable.Everywhere our corn has to be ground at the lord’s mill. “This half dozen men,without oath and no responsibility to anybody,in a distant city,without the pride of citizenship,from time to time _sit down and levy a tax of more than three times that which our Legisla- ture imposes,and collect it by duress. They levy it,too,without fairness or justice,making a man In one com- munity pay more for the same service than one in another community,and often.making this difference between men in the same community.Truly, they sup in our cup,they dip in our dish. “These are the our Commonwealth, not bate us a pin.” This sveech was delivered 33 years ago,yet the State of North Carolina is suffering under the same conditions in 1918 that Vance thundered against in 1880.A generation has passed and deliverance is not yet.‘ Mr.Justice goes on to quote Vance further on the theory of monopolies. It is granted,said the War Governor, that men have the right to buy all the railroads they can pay for;it is also granted that they have the right to buy all the corn they can pay for. Yet,if they buy all the corn in the country and held it at their own prices,they are haled to the bar and tried as criminals.Wherein is the essential difference between corner- ing corn and cornering transporta- tion?‘When corporations,created for purposes of public convenience, pervert the powers granted them into instruments of public oppression,is it not the plain and manifest duty of the State to take them in hand and correct these abuses? “The power of the State to do so is"teen mere ge SM gay Ba thef the opéature of_t ‘State may set its creator at defiance;absurd to say that the State,in granting a leeches who suck and they will |charter,does so by a law that is for- ever irrepealable,and that it parts with its police power over the com- pany so formed in anything affected with a public interest:” When Vance was speaking a manpartiallysuccessfulattemptsathigh-jwalking through the markets ofwayrobbery,when three country|wagons,all driven by negroes,were|eastern North Carolina could hardly disvover a product of western Northheldupbytwounknownnegroesand|Carolina offered for sale.The applessomemoneysecured.The holdups|came from New York,the potatoesoccurredalongthemainhighway,|from Richmond,The driver |day?

Better Opportunity There ©ThanTown—Make the Education-al Facilities in the Country, Progressive Farmer,ree We saw a fried the other day, an unusually successful farmer,whosaidhe:thought he would have tomovetotowninorderto:educate his children;and yet he was.rightly la-menting the seriéus lossés he wouldsufferinleavingthegoodhomehehadbuiltandthefinefarmhehadrdeveloped.

But it is really difficult to find op- portunities for training the townboyinhabitsofsystematicindustry; and this is largely why the country boy outstrios him in his own home later in life.No education is worth much with- out a willingness to work,a willing- ness to do the hardest sort of work when necessary,and a_five-months school.in the country,with farmtrainingin-the habits of industry, will do more to réally educate a boythanninemonthsschoolingin.town. As a matter of fact,too,almost ev- for schools than special taxes and special funds for your country school dis- trict,you can get thoroughly satis- factory schools in your own dis- trict. And,in any case,don’t fofyet that there is no training for a boy like be- ley has well said: to do that day which must be done whether you like it or not.Being forced to work and forced to do your best,will breed in you temper- ance and self-control,diligence and strength of will,cheerfulness and content,and a hundred virtues which the idle never know.” The “Oxypather”Showed Up By the State Board of Health. Charlotte Observer. A good many Raleigh people have been investing in an “oxypather,”at a cost of $35 per oxy.The fact came out in rather an unexpected way at the recent State Fair.ItseemsthattheStateBoardofHealth paid $35 for one of the,¢entrivancesandmadeaninvéstigationofitsmer- its.The oxypather was cut open and was found to contain an entirely worthless composition and one inca-pable of producing any electrical ef- fect.The oxypather was exhibited at the fair along with a long list of claims WAwun,.was goed for,.AsDoctor.Rankin said,it’was guaran-teed to ¢Anything .except con- sumption im its last stages.The State Department of Health put up placards whrning the people that the oxypather was a fake,pure and sim- ple.In a page advertisement,th oxypather people ¢ame back and toprovethattheyhadaspatronssomeofthebestpeopleofRaleigh,gavealistofnamesofthepurchasers.
