The rates of the new income tax, the proposed tax on cotton futures, many provisions of the administrative features of the law,the suggested tax rebate of 5 per cent for imports brought in American ships,and many other sections of the measure that will occasion debate,were put over without action and will be taken -up this week.Senator Norris announc-ed that before the bill was completed he would propose an amendment di-rected at the Brazilian coffee monopo- ly,giving the President authority to levy a 25 per cent duty on a product controlled through monopoly or con- spiracy in another country.

COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS “In the 176 days,including Sundays and:holidays,since Postmaster Gen- eral ‘Burleson assumed the duties of his office,he,among other things,has inted 5,765 postmasters.This makes his average something over $2 a day.Of the total number 2203werepresidentialpostmasters,who receive in excess of $1,000 a year sal- ary and whose appomtments must be confirmed by the Senate.The re-mainder,8562,are postmasters of the fourth class,named either as a re-|,sult of civil service examination or after personal investigation by post- office inspectors.And yet a few Dem- ocrats,who see nothing in a change of parties but a change of officehold- ers,are whining that’the Republi- cans are not being turned out. a »a A The State Journal will take notice that the extract it quoted from The Landmark had specific reference to “the punishment of the guilty,”andsostated.What The Landmark meant—and said—was that we arenotverystronginpunishmentsof more serious offences in North Car- olina.Homicides are numerous and increasing.During the month of Au-gust there was an average of about one killing for every day in the month.Convictions for first degree murder are rare and executions rarer still.But the trouble is that when there is a.conviction.for sec-ond degree murder,with a maximum penalty of 30 years,the penalty usu- ally ranges from five to 15 years— ally from five to ten-——and very often there is a pardon after a few years.The point we insist upon,and we maintain there is ample evidence t support the view,notwithstandingtheStateJournal’s optimistic view, is that the crime of taking human life is not adequately punished in North “Carolina..Those who would slay their fellows have little to fear from the law.It tay be we are do- ing as well as any other State,but if that be so The Landmark feels about that excuse just as the State Journal feels when they tell it that insurance rates are as low in North Carolina as any other State.What other States may or may not do is no excuse for us.We have a bloody record—one that is a shame and a disgrace to our civilization. ca &, A Statesville man,commenting on the Charlotte lynching,is emphatical-ly of the opinion that the law does not provide adequate punishment for one who does his best to kill an- other and fails.In-the case of the watchman at the Kinceaid furniture factory in Statesville,his assailant, who assaulted him for the purpose of robbery,did his best to beat his vic- tim to death and came near succeed- ing.The watchman got well but it was no fault of his assailant,He seemingly did his best to kill his vic- tim.The negro arrested for thecrimewasindictedforsecretas- eault but the testimony developedthatthenehadtalkedtohisvic- tim before he attacked him and the secret assault wouldn’t hold.It thendevelopedthatthelimitofthelaw in the case was tWo years.This was imposed but the general feeling was that the punishment was inadequate.Take the case of the Charlotte police- man,says the Statesville man.The negro did his best to kill the officer. If the officer gets wefl and the negro had been left for the wourts,probably two years would have been the limit.‘The Statesville citizen is of the opin- ion that where an attempt is made to kill and fails,the assailant shouldreceivethesamepenaltyasifhehadsucceeded.Inasmuch as _veryMgntpunishmentisusuallyinflictedredeathresults,it is not to beexpectedthattheextremepenaltywillbevisitedwheredeathdoesnoten- sue,even though the victim escape by .are But ge sy is en- tirely right in saying that the penaltyprovidedincasesofassaultent-.tent to kill is entirely,oeas dat Jegislators do not ‘give this point ¢attention.giv :po Re .n. The newspapers are giving much attention to the prevailing style ofwomen’s dress.Thw Landmark has heretofore expressed the opinion that the man who criticises the fashions for women is wasting his breath;that the average woman will wear what- ever fashion decrees,no matter what. But in order that the sisters may at times see themselves as others see them,*we commend to their consider- ation the following from the Rich-|) mond Times-Dispatch: “To be brutally frank,some of the costumes a la mode which one sees in the street are absolutely indecent. They have not become so overnight,they have not been the outcome of a sudden,revolution in fashion;they have been the result of a slow andgradualprocess,the entire purpose af which has been to make the skirtsassuggestiveascommonmorality would permit.This does not meanthatourRichmondgirlsarewearing these clothes because they wish to be suggestive.It rather means they wear them because they do not know how suggestive these garments real-ly are.As we have watched them we have compared them with otherReecetakenthepainstogoroughCostumeHistoriqueforthe modes of other days,and we can frankly say that among women ofTeutonicbloodsuchfashionshave never been in vogue since the dayséfBruthilde!We have them.with the dresses our mothers wore a generation ago, think’of their granddaughters,“Were this a world of women,weshouldhavenocriticismtomake.~Were it a world of white people only2yeeshouldbelessmarks.But we live in a country‘we have a large element of an r race,the worst of whose malershavetobekeptunderstrict‘to save them from theirownbrutalinstincts.Indecent clothesindecentclothesits.To stateour lead to bad morals; 0 compared ‘a and wehavewonderedwhatthesemothers itive in our re- frankly surprised that the presenteraoffashionshasnotinspiredout- rageous crimes.‘It is no use saying ‘evil he whoevilthinketh.Evil thoughts are extravagant fashions,for the moinsidiousanddanarethosemostsubtlysuggested.If only our Richmond girls—the bestandpurestintheworld,we think —could see themselves through theeyesoftheirbrothers,those who havebeenthoughtlesswouldceasgtowearonthestreetsclotheswhichshouldbeleftat:home.”:eeneaneneeemeenmeeemmnanememanecenet STATE NEWS.

THE NEW CURRENCY BILL. Summary of the Measure Now Pend- ing in the House. The administration currency bill, which passed the Democratic caucus last week and was introduced in the House by Chairman Glass,is sum marized as follows by Mr.Glass: “The bill establisnes 12 regional reserve banks,with a capital of not less than $5,000,000 each,to which na- tional banks are required to contrib ute an amount equal to 10 per cent of their own capital stock and to be- come liable for an additional 10 cent in case of call.This,it is esti- mated,will give the regional reserve banks a combined paid-up capital of $105,000,000.These regional reserve banks are also made custodians of alargepartofthereservemoneyof member banks,estimated at about $410,000,000 in the aggregate. They also receive the government de- posits}estimated at from $150,000,000 to $250,000,000. “Over the whole system of regional reserve banks is to be a Federal re- serve board consisting of seven mem- bers.This board is given extensive powers of supervision,examination ‘and control. “The measure provides an advisory counsel of bankers without actual power composed of one member from each of the 4welve regional reservedistricts.‘“One important provision is for the gradual refunding,for a period of 20 years,of the United States two per cent bonds into three per cent gov- ernment bonds without the circulationprivilege.This will mean'the even-tual retirement ofnationatbenk nutes!The circulation privitege will thus re~ vert to the government itself,issuing through the regional reserve banks on a gold reserve of 33 1-3 per cent tobeeebythe.Danks.«notable reserve features ofthebillcontemplateareductionofthereservecitiesfrom25to18per cent and of all country banks from15.to 12 per cent.The Federal re- serve board is required to establishagraduatedtaxontheamountsbywhichbanksmaybepermittedtofall below reserye requirements,such tax to be uniform in its application to all banks.“National banks are compelled to become members of the system un-der penalty of forfeiture of charters,while State banks are permitted to become members under regulations of the Federal reserve board. “Concerning the provisions relat- ing to re-discounts,over which there was such a prolonged fight,and as a substitute,for which RepresentativeHenryandothersofferedamendmentscomprising18printedpages,the onlychangemadewastoaddtwoandone-quarter typewritten lines,declarin that nothing contained in the billshouldbeconstruedtoprohibitthere-discounting of notes and bills pf exchange secured by agricultural oteductaandothergoods,wares and To Investigate the Partition of theCapeFearandYadkinValley, The corporation commission has set September 8 for beginning the in-vestigation of the sale of the oldareFear&Yadkin Valley railroadanditspartitionbetweentheSouth- ern and the Atlantic Coast Line.This investigation {fs in compli-ance with the act of the recent Legis-lature calling for such an investiga-tion and a report of findings to theAttorneyGeneral,in order that hemaydeterminewhetherornottherearegroundsonwhichthedispositionoftheroadcanberevokedonac-count of fraud or collusion. oe jency.Is often caused by indigestion and consti- years.refer to any one in Boone Mill or vicinitandtheywillvouchfhatTsay.”Cham-berjain’s Tablets are ‘fe oaleby ald ifs thy v pation.and,aulekiy jaa Greensboro.Record,The United States government isgoingafterthosewhoviolatethelaw.by shipping birds to points outside oftheState,A man was brought herofromAverycountyandplacedinjailtoawaitahearingatthenexttermofFederalCourt.He says he is avictim;that his brother was in withhim;that they shipped birds to theamountof$15;that his brother gotthemoneyandranaway,leaving himtosuffertheeasly,But the offi-cers will get the brother if he staysontopoftheground.It was a wisemovewherthegovernment.took a hand in preventing’the slaughter ofbirds.The States have been doingsomework,but with the limited pow- er the officers were badly handicap-ped.Uncle Sam has all the powerneeded.An officer walks into a store in any town in the.United States,sees a lot of birds on sale and heproceedsto.make the proprietor tell where they were purchased,afterwhichit48,easy sailing.Few knewsuchalawwasonthebooksuntilthelasttermof’United States Court,but they know now.

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST! The Old Joke About “Something Just As Good,”Doesn't Apply to This Drug Store. You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store was a place to “get something just as good.”There is at least one drug- gist in the world that you can’t say this about. It is certain that an inferior arti- cle will never be substituted for a guaranteed one by the Statesville Drug Co.’s drug Store.Take for in- stance a safe,reliabye remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodson’s Liver Tone.This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satis- factory a liver stimulant and reliever of biliousness,and to entirely take the place of calomel without any danger or restriction of habits or di- et,“that there are dozens of prepar- ations springing up with imitations of its claims. But Dodson’s Liver Tone is guar- anteed to do all that is claimed for it,and if you are not satisfied with it,the Statesville Drag Co.will hand your money back'with a smile.Anypersongoingtothisstoreforabot- tle of Dedson’s Liver Tone will be sure of getting a large bottle of this genuine remedy in exchange for his half dollar.i \eSchoolChildren Who have weak eyes should be supplied with glasses before resuming their studies.This is more important than many-hingsWe think are necessary.

Mr,Allen had been there only a short time when he advertised that on a certain night he would give an exhibition of a gun which he had in- vented that would hit accurately in the dark.This demonstration was to take place on the campus and many of the boys were there to see it.For some reason Allen didn’t show up on time and the boys started on a hunt for him.When he was fougil he gave some excuse why the event would not be pulled off and promis a later engagement. Mr.Allen was made the goat,at numerous public gatherings of the boys.He would quickly respond to ealls for speeches on such occasions and would talk until his audience would disband,on the installment plan.No especial discourtesy was intended.

SELFISHNESS AND GREED. Some of the Americans in Mexico have heeded President Wilson’s warn- ing to leave the country.Some of those willing to leave,however,are demanding that first class passage be furnished:them free,even when they have means of their own to pay traveling expenses.Nerve?Next they will be demanding that the Unit- ed States give them a bonus to get them to leave. Others it is said,notably the ‘Americans in Mexico City,resent the suggestion that they should leave. They demand to be shown.The Presi- dent has advised Americans to leave Mexico;the government has offered transportation to gage poergy to pay their own expenses.If any of them want to stay in Mexico and take chances,let them stay and welcome, but we want no word from them if The attitude of these Americans in Mexico is evidence that they do not deserve a»much sympa- thy as has been expended on them. Most of them have gone into that country as adventurers on the make. Since the revolution began many of them have been robLed,as is natural in a country in a state of anarchy. They have as a result set up a mighty how!and demanded that they be pro- tected.They have been advised to get out of Mexico and offered help to get out.But no;they want the United States govensment to send an army into Mexico to stand guard while a few thousand Americans make money—exploit the natives.They would plunge this country into war that would cost thousands of lives and millions of money and burden the country with a problem for unborn genefations—all on account of the greed of a comparatively few peo- ple. The Mecklenburg grand jury,which was so earnestly urged by Judge Shaw to make a thorough investiga tion of the lynching in Charlotte last week,adjourned without any success, so far as the public is advised;and up to the present there is no out- ward indication that anything will re- sult from the investigation of the lynching.Gév.Cratg,however,says the lynchers will be found and he ex- pects them to be found while he is in office.He insists that the inves- tigation will be pushed until the names of the men who composed the lynching party -are known and says they will be tried before a Mecklen- burg jury.If the men are found, which The Landmark doesn’t expect, and are tried in Mecklenburg they will be acquitted.It will be difficult to secure a conviction anywhere,but men charged with lynching can’t be convicted in their own homes.

Almighty God does not give every- thing to any one individual,Me.Sumner was endowed with a powerful intellect and also a fine,large wha que,but if he had any courage I have never heard of it.For six days his well trained voice was heard in the United States Senate (in May,1856); his skillful rhetoric,dramatic action, were admired immensely by the Free Soilers during the six days of abuse heaped upon South Carolina and her Senator,Andrew Pickens Butler,the aged relative of Mr.Brooks.He (Mr.Sumner)was chastised and justly so by as brave a man as the United States Senate has ever pro- duced and as gallant a soldier as ever drew a sword on the plains of Mexi under the Stars and Stripes.I have never defended his fair name from attacks from black- guards,but when a gentleman of Mr. Lyman Abbott’s culture writes.ofhimasmakingabrutalassaulton Charles Sumner—then forbearance ceases to be a virtue.I respectfully call Mr.Abbott's at- tention to the account of the caning of Sumner as published in the Wash- ington Star of date May 23,1856: “We have taken occasion to procure an account of the affair that occurred in the Senate chamber yesterday af- ternoon from an eye-witness,in whose judgment and in the integrity ofwhoserepresentationwerely.Wepresentittoourreadersasfollows:“*Yesterday after he had sought Mr.Sumner elsewhere without finding him,Mr.Brooks went to the Senate chamber (the Senate then having ad- journed).Mr.Sumner being there, Mr.Brooks sat near Mr.Sumner until a few ladies who were on the floor had retired.He then went up to Mr. Sumner,who was at his desk writing,ang said:“I have read‘your speec earefully and with as much disposi-tion to do you justice as I could com- mand,and I have’deliberately come to.the conclusion that you were guil- ty of a gross libel upon my State _aA Sneak pte to =absentpray-haired,zelative.Judge But;ter,and TL teph miyoels wrider oMigg,tionto inflict on you a punishmen*forthislibelandinsult.”Mr.Sumner thereupon essayed to rise from his seat as though to resist what Mr. Brooks had said,when he (Mr. Brooks)struck Mr.Sumner withrapidandrepeatedblowsabouttheheadwithagutta-percha cane,andcontinuedhisblowsinspiteofMr.Sumner’s efforts to ward them off and seize the cane,until Mr.Sumner fell.As Mr.Brooks was suspending his blows (which he did the instant Mr. Sumner fell)Mr.Crittenden came “w and interposed,saying,“Don’t kill,” ete.Mr.Brooks thereupon left thespotandremainedwithhisfriends in the Senate chamber until Mr.Sum- ner’s friends,several of whom were present (Mr.Morgan of New York and Mr:Foster of Connecticut among them)lifting him up,bore him intooneoftheante-rooms of the,Sen- ate.’”;In Rhodes’s History of the UnitedStateswearetoldthatBrookscame from a good South Carolina family, was well educated and had been a member of the House of Representa- tives for three years,where his con- duct had been that of a gentleman, and he had been called admiringly byallwithwhomhewasassociated “courteous,accomplished,warm- hearted,hot-blooded,dear as a friend and fearful as an enemy.”Sumner assailed Senator Butler in his absence with such vile vitupera-tion that Lewis Cass,a Northern man of the highest standing,the Nestor’oftheSenate,declared it to be “the mostun-American and unpatriotic (speech)that ever grated on the ears of mem- bers of.this high hody.I hope never to hear the like again,here or else- where.”See Dargan’s School HistoryofSouthCarolina.A Harford pro-fessor,many years after on “Re-venge,”told his class that “Mr.Sum-mer’s vituperation was intolerable.”The British Quarterly Review char-acterized this:speech “as an exampleandproofofthedeteriorationof too much.nd good tasteforanyotherpurpose,|just be heartily m-ed of it.”John’ipelow,who:was bornNovember26,1817,‘at,Bristol,N.Y.,and 92 years thereaftef died,said thatthebloodthatBrooks.drew fromSumnerwasthefirstbloodofthewar.From “The World’s Famous Ora-tions”I take the following:Preston8.Brooks in his defence of his attackonSumner—“Born in 1819;died in1857;elected to Congress from SouthCarolinain1853,serving until 1856,when,after the failure to expel Bit,he resigned and appealed to his con- stituents,who ,re-elected him in thesamé:re almost without opposition.

Whatever insults my State insults me.Her history and character havecommandedmypiousveneration,andinherdefenceIhopeIshallalwaysbeprepared,humbly and modestly,to perform the duty of a son.I should have forfeite@ my own self-respect,and perhaps the good opin- ion of my countrymen,if I had failed to resent such an injury by calling the offender in question to a personal account.It was a personal affair, and in taking redress into my own hands I meant no disrespect to the Senate of the United States or to this House. “But if I had committed a breach of privilege,it was the privilege of the Senate,and not.of this House,which was Violated.I was answerable there and not here.They had no right,as it seems to me,to prosecute me in these halls,nor have you the right, in law or under the constitution,as I respectfully submit,to take juris- diction over offences committed against them.The constitution does not justify them in making such a request,nor this House in granting it.Lf unhappily the day should ever come when sectional or party feeling should run so high as to control other considerations,of public duty or jus- tice,how easy it will be to use such precedents for the excuse of arbitrary power,in either house,to expel mem- bers of the minority who have ren- dered themselves obnoxious to the prevailing spirit in the house to which they belong. “If I desired to kill the Senator, why did I not do it?You all admit that 1 had him within my power.Itwasexpresslytoavoidtakinglife that I used an ordinary cane,present- ed to me by a friend in Baltimore nearly three months before its appli- cation to the ‘bare head’of the Mas- sachusetts Senator.I went to work very deliberately,as I am charged— and this is admitted—and speculated somewhat as to whether I should em- ploy a horsewhip or a cowhide,but nowing that the Senator was my superior in strength,it occurred to me that he might wrest it from my hand, and then—for I never attempt any- thing I do not perform—I might have been compelled to do that which I would have regretted the balance of my natural life.My answer is that the Senator would not accept a mes- sage,and having formed the unaltera- ble determination to punish him,I believed that the offence of ‘sending a hostile message,’superadded to the indictment for assault and battery,would subject me to legal penaltiesmoreseverethanwouldbeimposed for a simple assault and battery.Thatismyanswer. “To such as have given their votesandmadetheirspeechesonthecan- stitutional rinciples involved and without indulging in.personal villifi- cation,I owe respecy.But,sir,»they have written me down upon the his- tory of the country as worthy of ex- pulsiogs and in no unkindness I musttellthemthatforallfuturetimemyself-respect requires that I sfiall passthemasstrangers..And now,Mt.Sneaker,1 atihounce té you and to4 this House that I am no longer a member of the 34th Congress,”and, concluding his speech,Mr.Brooks walked out of the House.'Will Mr.Lyman Agbott allow me to suggest that we let the dead rest?U.R.BROOKS.

Miss Johnson was nearing her 16th birthday—just blooming into young womanhood—and she possessed all the qualities that make a true wo- man.She was as a light radiatin’ sunshine into the lives of her pa- rents and all with whom she came in contact.A characteristic of hers was cheerfulness.By nature she was jolly,always in a good humor,al- ways a smile on her face and a bright word for every one.She was pretty, attractive,amiable and was the lead- er of the social life in the communi- ty in which she lived.She had been a member of the A.R.P.Church for four years and was active in all church work. The funeral service,which was largely attended,attesting the high esteem in which the deceased was held,was conducted at New Stirling church Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock by Rev.J.A.Pressly of Statesville,a man whom she loved and had great faith in,and had re quested that he concuct)her funeral. Ten girls,classmates of Miss John- son,acted as flower girls and the flowers were many and beautiful.The pall -bearers were Messrs,Woodford White,Orren Summers,Carl Morri- son,Edgar Sharpe,Ralph Gilbert and Roy Raymer,also classmates of hers. “Not now,but in the coming years, It may be in the better land, We'll read the meaning of our tears, And then,sometime,we'll under- stand.” Notices of New Advertisements.

According to the surgeons of Johns Hopkins the persons who insist on going through life with a frozen facehurtnotonlythespectatorsbutdo) themselves grievous injury.Many | cases of internal complaints,inelud- ing the ever-present appendicitis,can be traced to worry and general grouchiness they aver. “Loosen the muscles of your face into a grin,”they recommend,“andyou'll never even scrape a speaking acquaintance with a high priced sur- geon.” The cult of optimism and the urgeoftheboosterareabroadintheland: They'd make it,if they could,one vast substantial smile,like Mrs.Fezziwige| i for “the voice with the smile,”while a Western railroad recently ordered its employes to collect a stock of fun-ny stories and acquire the smile that won't come off.There may be a great deal more than nonsense in the con- tention of the medical men that laughter lubricates the human works and keeps them running as smoothly as it does the wheels of business.At any rate,it’s good doctrine to preach for the benefit of humanity at large.

Statesville,R-3,Aug.80—The har-vest days of autumn are almost hereandtheshortrespitethefarmersen- joy is about ended.Cotton is open- ing rapidly in some places. We are impatiently,waiting for work to begin on the East Monbo road and the usual clamoring for the road force to come ovur way is heard in this part of the county,the’same as all other sections. Teachers for the Ostwalt school have not been employed yet,and so far there has been but few applicants. How many mothers who are readers of The Landmark have taken note of the comments:that are being made on the prevailing style of women’s dress?It is enough te make us blush for our sex,that this thing is reaching such an extremity that the men are forced to utter a protest.How much of the degeneracy and downfall of a nation is due to these popular and fashionable vices,that creep-on us so insidiously,blinding us in such a manner that we are un- aware of the real harm that is being done to the morality of our country. Much of the popular music’and slang expressions combined with the im-modest apparel of our women and girls is only a menace to our society, and degrading to our morals.

The amount the government will expend in this State is $40,000.The claims of the Forsyth-Davie-Iredell line made a favorable impression on the Governor,the delegation thinks, and there is hope that at least aportionofthemoneywillbeexpended on this line.

The Landmark takes no stock in the idea that the whole State of Geor- gia is persecuting Judge Speer.The THE CASE OF JUDGE SPEER, The Charlotte Observer,while ad- mittine that Judge Speer of Georgia, who is to be investigated by the ju- diciary committee of the House of Congress,is a very unpopular man and that he has peculiarities which render him unpopular,thinks never- theless that the judge is a victim of prejudice—-political prejudice of the yankest sort.As an illustration of Judge Speer’s standing among his home people,the Observer cited the following: “The situation of Judge Specr among his neighbors in his own home town was illustrated not long ago when he had an ex-mayor of Macon arraigned for gross contempt comynit- ted in open court.At the hearing a popular assemblage filled the court room and howled down the judge.°It was a form of mob law,but behind it stood the apparently.unanimous sym- thy of the whole city.Judge Speer d been burned in effigy before his residence the evening before.Under these circumstances the judiciary was exhausted.With teurs running down his cheeks the baited jurist dismissed the case.; “We hope our readers will now un- derstand better why Judge Speer has been brought into the shadow of im- peachment on charges which bear every appearance of being trumped up—at least in so far as they have ‘yet been revealed.”_ That a judge of the United States court could be run over by a mob in his home’town and the incident not attracted ‘world-wide attention;that such a thing could happen arid the government take no action to sus- tain the authority and the dignity of its judicial officers,was astonishing. {It seems there was some mistake,for the Columbia (S.C.)Record makes this correction,.which so far as we have seen has not been disputed: “Former Mayor Huff’s act of con- tempt consisted of a severely de- nunciatory letter delivered to JudgeSpeerathisprivateresidenceandnotinopencourt.At the prelimi- nary hearing of the ruling for con- tempt Judge Speer was not howleddownby/a popular assemblage or mob.Judge,Speer did not dismiss the case,but referred it to a brother jurist for trial,who sat upon it and adjudged Mr.Huff guilty,but has never passed sentence upon him.” The Landmark knows nothing of Judge Speer except occasional news- paper reports which indicate that he is fond of the spectacular,of playing to the galleries,or at least of doing the unusual Admittedly an able man,he seems to sack the judicial temperament.The Greensboro News says of him: He also rides a very fine horse out of court,and a high horse,at times, in'court.Other attributes are a lofti- ness in demeanor and a suggestion :f irascibility which never fails,wher- ever found on the bench,to accumu- late enemies.That type is likewise more or less known,doubtless,in all parts of the country. Further discussing this judge,the News continues: A way should be found to deal with judges who fail to treat considerately people who have business in their courts.State judges as well as Fed- eral may be found among offenders in this respect,and there has never been any reason why a free people should have stood for this,After all is said,judges are the ‘servants of the people and they should not be per- mitted to forget this relation,when through lack of the judicial tempera- ment,they are inclined that way.The offense is not an impeachable ohe,but we are not sure that it onght not *~he made so,whea it is known’tobecumulative.|oaks It is a difficult as well as a dan- gerous thing to undertake to regulate judges,for unless ‘the judge has the fullest freedom to exercise his own best judgment,without let or hind- rance,the whole structure of untram- meled justice falls.He should be governed by nothing except the law and the standard rules of court pro- type of fact that he is admitedly so very un- popular is evidence that he has not conducted himself preperly,A man who does the right thing may be -un- popular at tinies with a few people but not for long.There is something wrong with the man who makes everybody with whom he comes in contact hate him.Such a man needs te examine into his conduct,for he is evidently at fault. It may be that a few prejudiced and interested people have brought these charges against Judge Speer. If the charges are not well founded they will fall of their own weight and Judge Speer will be benefited, not harmed.The mun who walks the straight and narrow may be the ob- ject of malgnant attack at times; he may be annoyed and humiliated; but if he is cuiltless ne will be vin- dicated inthe end.LRN SIMMONS AND THE OFFICES. The Landmark has on more than one occasion intimated the belief that Senator Simmons was going a bowshot beyond reason in holding up the appointments of postmasters rec- ommended by members of Congress, because the candidates were not his friends.He has not done this in all cases but has done it in some where his course seems to be without ex- cuse.But while The Landmark has always endeavored to be fair and just to Senator Simmons,ft is not a fol- lower of the Senator and it has not expected its remarks to make any impression on his followers.It is noticeable,however,that some of the Senator’s.friends and loyal support- ers are taking him to task.The Landmark ‘is publishing today an ed- itorial from the Thomasville David- sonian,edited by Mr.Archibald Johnson,a loyal supporter of Sena- tor Simmons and a fair and just man, which expresses the view heretofore expressed by The Landmark.This paper cheerfully admits that,all things’being equal,it is natural and proper for the Senator to prefer his friends in distributing the honors. But to go out of the way to hold up the appointment of a postmaster,or other officer,who is seemingly the choice of the people,who is a fit and worthy man,recommended by his member of Congress,simply because the candidate is not a Simmons man, cannot be defended.This Senator Simmons has done more than once. Take the case at Apex,Wake coug- ty.Congressman Pou would recom- mend Mr.Sears because Mr.Sears seems to be the choice of the people, But to Senator Simmons Mr.Sears is undesirable because,it is alleged, Mr.Sears said during the senatorial campaign last year that Mr.Simmons was “not as good as a Republican.” Mr.Sears ought not to have said that,but such remarks are common in the heat of a campaign and the men who make them very often do not mean what they say.Moreover, the remark could not and did not hurt Mr.Simmons and one who occupies his important position should be too big to,harbor resentment in such cakes. terest in any of the candidates who have fallen under the @isfavor of Mr.Simmons;in fact it has no con- cern about the disgh >~«ft ~*~ fices,except the desire to see the best men get them.But,it has been in- terested in the course of Mr.Sim- mons,from the speculative stand- point,and wonders if it is to be the rule that all who did not support him, or at least’those who criticised him, shall be cast without the pale;and it wonders how that rule will work.Mr. Simmons has been very successful in cedure;but the very freedom whigh+maintaining in the State an effective it was intended they should use in behalf of right and justice makes some of them tyrants.Having neith- er the judicial temperament nor an adequate conception of the judicial office ,they think only of power they can exercise and “are never so happy as when exercising that power. are living examples of what has been characterized as “the insolence of of- fice.”Conceited,puffed up,they never say mean 5loseanopportunityto things to witnesses,attorneys and court.officers, “away with it.” passed on by the people, disposition to harass judges by un warranted charges,it is probably best for the judgés and the people tha fmpeachments are becoming more common;best for ‘tne judge who position to know that 2abuseshis a mn and will be invoked. We have judges in North Carolina who publiciy humiiiating helpless people without cause;that is,they say disagreeable things when they think they can do it and “get On other occasionstheyarecringingbootlickstopersons of prominence who appear in their courts.The Federal judge is more prone to this course of action,if he Paamberesisthattypeofman,than the Stato judge,for the Féderal judge feels xc- cure and the State judge has +o be Heretofore impeachmenrits have beenxvery uncom- mon,While we-~would deplore any organization that does his bidding. Judging the future by the past,he will continue to succeed in that line, but sometimes One is deceived by suc- cess into overreaching himself.But if it is to be the rule here in North Carolina that worthy Democrats, Democrats who supported Wilson for President,must be denied recognition in the party because they did not fa- vor a certain man for Senator,the public should know it.

Monroe Journal.hc There has been a change in thepersonnelofthelynchingpartiesin the past few years.It reminds us of nothing else so well as the change that took place in the organization of what was known as the Ku Klux af- ter the war.Driven to desperption, many of the best men of the coun- try joined that band at first in what appeared to them to be their only means of self-defense,However,sen-| sible men and law-abiding men in the organization,just as soon as they saw the danger-in their course,and that the time had come for other means,abandoned it.While the goodmenweregettingoutthescoundrels]- were getting in,and many men who were criminals at heart,saw this as their opportunity to wreak vengenacdé on personal enemies or to merely commit crime under cover. Years ago many good citizens feltthatthewaytodealwithcertain crimes was by the immediate meth- od of the lynchers.But good citi- zens and thinking:men soon foundthatthiswasamistakeintwoways.One was that it did not preventcrime.The other was that it offered to the unthinking and the vicious and the criminal elements too great an opportunity to employ their talentsundercover.Thereupon good.men quit the thing,and now,in NorthCarolinaatleast,the lyncher is the hoodlum and natural criminal,as was shown in Charlotte.Since the better class of people do not now condone lynching any officer whowishestodo.his duty can stop anymobthatnowassembles,with a pis- tol and an eye that means business. Therefore,the officer who lets a pris- oner be taken from him without an effort is so derelict in his duty that he should be stripped of his office and branded with contempt. Despondency.

FRIDAY,-----September 5,1913. Somehow we had entertained a pretty good opinion of the Canadians ‘as a sensible and conservative sort of folk,not given to slopping over; but the ,exhibition at Sherbrooke over Harry Thaw has resulted in a revisal of that opinion. E.F.Cochran,United States dis- trict attorney for South Carolina, whose commission does not expire un- til next year,announces that he will resign.He says he is not in sympa- thy with some of the plans of the Department of Justice in South Car- olina and does not wish to place him- self in opposition to them.Not much good can be said for South Carolina, -speaking generally,but it must be said that the State has a.district at- torney who has a sense of the pro- prieties;which is more than can be said for North Carolina. Mr.Sam’l.L.Rogers of the county of Macon is a fortunate individual. He was in Washington this week and according to the reports he was of- fered his choice of several important and lucrative positions in the Feder- al service;one report says he was urged to accept the office of marshal, a place which it was understood,a few months ago,had been promised Manley McDowell of Burke.Mr.Rog- ers left Washington Wednesday eve- ning without having decided,the Washington correspondents say, “what office of the several he had been tendered he would accept.” Again,fortunate Mr.Rogers.He can pick and choose.Many who are struggling for a place at the pie counter would gladly forego the mat- ter of choice if they could only get a job. There has been talk of opposition to the renomination of Major Sted- man for Congress in the fifth dis- trict.The major says he has always favored the primary election plan of nomination and that if he has opposi- tion he will ask that the contest be settled by primary vote.Sensible Major Stedman.Down in the Wil- *mington district,when the politicians used to manipulate conventions,they changed the member of Congress every four years,The last time they tried it there was a split—the incum- bent,Mr.Godwin,claiming the nomi- nation,and Mr.Clark of Bladen be- ing named by his opponents,To set- tle the matter a committee of out- siders was appointed to hear evi- dence and determine the contest.The committee decided that the whole matter should be referred to a pri- mary election and when the vote was counted Godwin won overwhelmingly and since they have been unable to oust him.~Whatever the merits of the men,it is evident that the people prefer Godwin and a primary election gives the people an opportunity to Say. Says the Gharlotte Observer: Representative Stedman having rorommonded a Confederate veteran »tor"gne of tnrge positions as cotton agent in the fifth district,and the nominee having been turned down at Washington on account of his age, the Reidsville Review comments: “The few remaining Confederate sol- diers are not eligible to many posi- tions under the civil service rules. They are barred by the age limit from holding the fourth-class postof-fices,among other posts.Many men are better executive officers at 65 than they were at 45,yet the civil service regulations leave out all those above that age.” As a matter of fact the position of cotton statistician is not under the civil service.The age limit is doubt- less prescribed for the reason that an active man is required to travel over one or more counties—the territory is alloted according to the amount ofbusiness—gather up the facts as totheamountofcottonginnedandforwardsametoWashington.It isnotsomuchexecutiveabilityasac- tivity that is required in this job. In some of the civil service examina-tions the age limit is waived when theapplicantisasoldier.Of course this .means a Federal soldier,for these_regulations were made at a_timewhenConfederateswerenotconsid-ered.This could be changed,we have no doubt,if the Democrats would Rive it their attention,and it should bedone.There are many Confederate soldiers who would fit in’well “agfourth-class _postmasters—men who |could afford to take.these places at | the small pay ‘allowed when a young- er and more active man could not— and if the age regulation prevents fourth-class postoffices then Stedman and others should direct changed.-)i Confederate veterans applying for | their efforts to having this matter | The Landmark is beholden to the Landmark's reply to’the Thomasville Davidsonian.The Davidsonian has been stricken drunk so far as The Landmark’s answer to it is concerned.em The Charlotte News copies an ed- itgrial paragraph from .The Land- mark whith stated in there had been,so far as the public is advised,no results from the inves- tigation of the Charlotte lynching; that The Landmark did not expect the lynchers to,be found,and that if brought to trial they could not be convicted in Mecklenburg.‘The News heads the article thus:“Skepticism! Virtuous contemporary pours vials of scornful doubt upon certain Meck- lenburg possibilities.”The Land- mark was making no reflection ‘on Mecklenburg.The statement was this paper’s idea of a common-sense view of the matter as it would apply to Iredell or almost any other.county. The trouble with the Charlotte pa- pers is that they ‘assume superior virtues for Mecklenburg folks when in reality tthe Mecklenburgers are very much like the people of other counties.”The Charlotte papers as- sumed that a lynching was impossi- ble in Mecklenburg and at least one of them boasted of their superiority in that respect.Subsequent events showed there are the game sort of folks in Mecklenburg that are found in other counties. Storm Damage ip the State. Raleigh News and Observer,4th.

The Government After the Coal Trust. Attorney General McReynolds’first and most important attack on_the “hard coal trust”was begun in Phil- adelphia with the filing of a civil suitforthedissolutionoftheReadingCompany’s control of coal mining andcoal-carrying railroads—the most po- tential combination in the anthracitefields.The Reading Company withitssubsidiaryandalliedcorporations,including the Central Railroad of NewJerseyandcertainoftheirofficersanddirectors,are charged by the Fed- eral government with violating both the Sherman anti-trust law and the commodities clause of the inter-State commerce act,in an attempt to mo-nopolize the production and transpor- tation of anthracite. This combination,controlling at the present time 63 per cent of the entire unmined deposits of anthracite and marketing about 30 per cent of the annual supply,will own or control intime,if not dissolved,the Attorney General warns,“every ton of com- mercially available anthracite known to exist.” Farmer .Too Inust#¥$us and Damaged tw,»t@dlis Land..

Scarcity of army officers volunteer- ing for the aviation corps has called out an appeal from Brigadier Gener- al George P.Scriven,chief signal of- ficer.The announcement that France was about to recruit its aerial squad- ron on an unusually extensive scale gave an added impetus to the decis- ion to strengthen the United States army’s force in this direction.At present there are 10 vacancies in the squad,with no recruits in sight. General Scriven says frankly in his appeal that while married men are not barred from this branch of the service,bachelors not over 30 yearsofagearepreferred. It is not surprising that aviation volunteers are scarce.Army serv- ice in time of war is dangerousenoughbutaviationserviceanytime means almost certain death.

Whether there is the least foundation for the truthfulness of this report we do not know,but the rather autocratic attitude of the Senator in the post- office matters,is what has given the story life and circulation. Mr.Simmons ought to be careful. Mr.Kitchin had an exaggerated no- tion of his influence tn North Caro- lina and Mr.Simmons,who has achieved so notable a triumph,is lia- ble to be misled from a similar cause. No man is big enough to control North Carolina and the moment she finds that a man is urying to put her in his vest pocket she drops him likeahotpotato. Senator Simmons faces a glowing future if he will attend to his own business and let other people’s alone. It is not his business to nominate a Governor and he is not going to be allowed to do it.Brutus was an hon- orable man but Brutus was ambi- tious.We put Mr.Simmons in the Senate to play a great part in our national life and he is playing it well; but the sphere of his operation is Washington,not Raleigh.

One of the rocks which threatened the peaceful passage of the Under- wood-Simmons tariff bill dissolved in- to thin air Wednesday when the Sen- ate majority swung solidly into line behind its leaders to defeat an amend- ment designed to regulate trusts. By a vote of 55 to 12 the Senate rejected a proposal by Senator Ken- yon to put aluminum upon the free list.Senator Kenyon and those who joined him in supporting the amend- ment declared that the manufacture of aluminum in the United States was in the control of a monopoly—the Aluminum Company of America.The vote was accepted as a prelude to action upon another amendment pro- posing to free list the manufactures of all combination declared by the courts to be monopolies. Chairman Simmons of the finance committee announced during the de- bate that it was not the purpose of the majority to legislate on the trust question at the present time. declared against trust-made products {but said this was not the time for | |trust legislation.He said that Con- gress had spent the summer on tariff and the fall on currency and prom- |ised that when those matters were disposed of trust ibe taken up.He that |[Fall Merchandise!

Washington Dispatch,2d,to Balti- more Sun. A canvass made by Senate Demo- crats today developed the fact that ,the administration tariff bill in the upper branch of Congress is protected by a margin so slender as to cause uneasiness throughout the ranks ofthemajority. Not that the party leaders tremble for the final passage of the bill,but they realize that with the two:forcesseparatedbyonlyonevotetremend-ous power is placed in the hands of any one individual Senator who may come in at the last minute with pre-emptory demands.According to information given the Sun correspondent today straight from official sources the vote,as itstandsatthistime,*s 45 for the bill and 44 against it.The two sides of the chamber have never before been so equally divided on the tariff.

STATESVILLE,N.C.,TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER : 9,1913.: f NO.13. LUMBER PLANT BURNED. Quick Fire at Nelsett Lumber Co.'s Plant Causes Heavy Loss. The plant of the Nelsett Lumber Company was almost completely de- stroyed by fire late Saturday after- noon,entailing a loss of probably $8,000.The plant was the property of Messrs.P.R.Houpe and J. Adams,who valued it at $4,000 or more,and was leased to the Nelsett company,who estimave their loss at from $3,000 to $4,000,Because of the high rate charged for insurance on lumber Slants,none was carried by either the owners or the operators of the plant and the ross is total.The fire is supposed to have start- ed in the boiler room,probably in the roof over the boiler,but its origin is really unknown.The plant shut down for the day at 4:30 o’clock and all the employes,which number about ten,had gone home when the fire was discovered by persons _liv- ing in the vicinity.When first noticed the flames’had made much headway and were rapidly spread- ing from the boiler room to the main building,and having once reached the inflammable building and.con- tents the fire was not long in doing its destructive work.Even before the alarm was given the building was doomed. The new motor trucx made a record run across town to the fire and within a few minutes the firemen had two streams of water ptaying on the flames.It was soon realized that the main building could not be saved and the firemen turned their attention to the old plow factory building,which ‘was a part of the plant,and the lum- ber stacked about the place.It was also,necessary to throw water on a couple of box cars which stood on the lumber company’s siding to save them from burning.One or the cars was rolled away from the fire and es- caped damage,but the other,which was partially loaded with lumber, was considerably charred.It is quite remarkable that the old plow factory building,cars and most of the lumberon the grounds were saved.For a time it looked as though all these and other smal!buildings would be burned.A number of residences were also in danger for a time. The fire was a spectacular one,the flames leaping high into the air,and a large crowd was attracted to it. The streets in the business section were filled with the usual Satarday afternoon crowd and many ople from the business section followed the truck to the Are.The sight of box the smoke increased the excitement and for a few minutes west Broad street was a mass of vehicles and pedestrians,all headed for the fire. The smoke was deceiving,appearing to be only two or three blocks away, while in reality it was almost a mile away. Statesville Man Wins Morganton Bride—Runaway Marriage. Miss Mary Cecil Halloway of Mor- ganton and Mr.William L.Curlee of Statesville were married Saturday evening at Race Street Methodist parsonage,Rev.J.J.Eads officiating.

Chairman F.A.Sherrill of the schoolboardandSupt.Thompson appear- ed before the aldermen at their regu- lar monthly meeting Friday night to urge them to take action and the board agreed to ask the Legislature for the authority to call a bond elec- tion.The present school buildings will be “inadequate to properly care for this year’s enrollment and an ad- ditional building before the next ses- sion is a necessity. The mayor and all the aldermen were present at the meeting Friday night and various matters were con- sidered.The gas plant matter was briefly discussed and it was decided to have incorporated in the school bond election bill a clause giving the city authority to buy and operate the gas plant if it becomes necessary for the city to take charge of the plant Petitions asking for coment side- walks on various streets were present- ed to the board and rt was decided to put down cement on the followingwalksassoonaspractical:North side of Front street from Meeting street to the city limits;north side of Walnut street from Meeting to Oak street;south side of West End ave- nue from Mulberry to Race street; north side of Sharpe street from Cen- ter to Meeting;west side of Elm from Davie avenue to Broad;Greene street from Broad ‘to Front;east side of Race from Front to Western ave- nue;north side of Alexander from Mulberry to Oak;west side of Harrill from Davie avenue to Stockton street. An electric transmission line was ordered immediately constructed to the city pump station,where it is the purpose to install a motor to operate the water pumps in cases of emer-geney.It is the purpose of the board to install an entire electric outfit la-ter,keeping the present steam power for emergencies. One team of the city fire horses was ordered sold.The motor fire truckhavingbeenputintocommission,only one team of horses will be needed. An order was pasywed requiring the Southern railway to keep its yards in a more sanitary condition and to re- pair the street which passes through its yards between the depot and the Statesville Flour Mill.At present this portion of the street and a por- tion of the yard around the platforms are in a very unsanitary condition and almost impassable pecause of mud and water. It was decided to Immediately re- pair Davie avenue,though the work will not be of a permanent nature.Itishopedthatthestreetmaybeput in such condition that it wftl stand traffic through the winter,the idea being to permanently improve it prob- ably next»spring.

Reported Marriage of Mr.W.A. Thomas and Miss.Lottie Linton Not Believed Here. The Charlotte Chonicle of Friddy evening,the Observer of SaturdaandtheNewsofSundaymorningall announced the marriage of Mr.W.A.Thomas of Statesville and Miss Lottie Linton..The Observer’s ctate-ment was in form and manner as fol- lows:“The news was received in.the cityyesterday‘of the wedding in London,England,recently,of Miss Lottie Lin- ton of Raleigh and Mr.W.A.Thom- as of jStatesville.Miss Linton andMr.(Thomas have been spending the summer traveling on the continent. They were members of a party thatleftforatripabroadinthe.early summer.” The announcement is probably an error.Statesville triends and rela- tives of both Mr.Thomas and Miss. Linton,who have heard from them regularly,do not believe the report.Miss Linton’s relatives elsewhere had no news of it up to a day or seago. Soon after Mr.Thomas went abroad last summer,some one who knew that Miss Linton had also gone abroad,suggested the possibility of a wedding,although,so far as known,no one knew that any such affair was pending.A few weeks ago it was reported that the wedding had oc- curred,and this may be the rumor the Charlotte papers picked up.

G.White Construction Company at Parr Shoals,8.C.,20 miles from Co- lumbia,and took from them $16,000 in currency which had been intended to meet the payroll of the company, which is building a huge power dam there.Officer Joyner was shot in the thigh but his wound is not se- rious.

ASHEBORO POSTOFFICE FIGHT Solicitor Hammer Fighting.the ManNamedFor_Postmaster+—ThreatsofRetaliation.. Washington Dispatch _toTimes. The fight being made to defeat the appointment of E.L.Auman as\post- master at Asheboro,may have a strong bearing upon the candidacy of William C.Hammer for the office-of United States attorney for the west- ern district and may cause his de- feat. Auman and his friends have hint- ed strongly in letters received in Washington within the past few days that when the proper time ar- rives they will retaliate for the per- sistence with which Hammer and his brother-in-law,William J.Scarboro, have fought Auman’s appointment, by bringing charges against Hammer of sufficient seriousness to defeat him for district attorney.What the na- ture of these charges is has not been divulged,but the hint and threat have been so insistent that it begins to appear as though where there is so much smoke there must be some fire somewhere. On the other hand Hammer has been fully acquainted by his friends of the implied threats and advised to drop out.That after learning of the attitude of the Auman faction he still keeps up the fight with increas- ed vigor would seem to indicate that he has no fear of anything being brought against him that would les- sen his chances for securing the dis-trict attorneyship. Auman’s nomination now lies —in the committee on postoffice in the Senate,having proceeded that far after a long and tedious fight to havehimnominatedafterhewastecom-mended for appointment by Congress-man Page.As soon as he was rec-emmended for appointment chargeswerefiledbycitizensofAsheboroal-leging that Auman had been guiltyofimproperrelationswithawomanofthattown.Previous to this alongcontesthadbeenwagedbythedifferentcandidates‘for the office,during which there was much mud.slinging.Congressman Page workedoverthesituationtormonths.andfinallydecidedtofavorAuman.The filing of the charges with thePostofficeDepartmentcausedade-Thy of almost two months,duringwhichtimeAumarz.came te We sexton,read over the ¢hafies and re-turned home to prepare a denial.Hereternedwiththedenial,which con-tradicted all the charges made andwassupportedbyaffidavitsfromthepersonswhohadbeenmentionedinthecase.The charges for the mostpartappeartohavebeenbasedon“information and belief.”The Post-pffice Department *went carefullyoverthedenialandthoughtitsuf.ficient to make the sending of a post-office inspector to Asheboro unnec-essary.Accordingly the nominationwassenttotheWhiteHouseandfromtheretotheSenate.By theSenateitwasreferredthroughtheusualchanneltothecommitteeonpostofficesandthereitrests,After Auman was nominated Mr.Hammer and -his brother-in-law,Wm.J.Scarboro,both of Asheboro,continued the fight on Auman to pre-vent his confirmation by the Senate.They demanded.of the Senate com-mittée that a postoffice inspector besenttoAsheborotomakeaninves-tigation.

Washington and ‘New Berne theGreatestSufferers—Two Killed inPittCounty—-Damage at OtherPoints. Washington (N.C.)seems to have been the greatest sufferer in the coast storm of last week and New Berne next.The first part of the following report détails conditions at Washington: The Norfolk Southern and Atlantic Coast Line railways are probably theheaviestindividuallosersinthecounty,but the total loss will be longincomingtolight.’Boats in the har-bor were sunk,the Norfolk DredgingCompanylosingtwotugsandadredge.Hardly anything left on thewaterfront.The Norfolk Southern.bridge span- ning Pamlico river was swept away and two other bridges belonging tothecompany,crossing Jack and Run-yan’s creeks,are a total loss,ThesebridgesonmainlineofNorfolkSouthernbetweenWashingtonand Norfolk.The company also sustain-ed heavy loss in freight sheds andfreightlocatedtherein.The water front is swept away and trains from Raleigh cannot reach here.: Norfolk Southern officials estimate their loss at least $150,000.The Atlantic Coast Line railway'is also a heavy loser,its bridge crossing Tar river at the west end of town,on the Washington &Vandemere rail- road,and the trestle running several miles through Chocowinity swamp, were swept away.The entire road- bed for a distance of 30 miles is torn up and heavy losses.in the vey of watersheds and freight have also been sustained,entailing a toss of $100,000. A new steel bridge recently built by the county over Pamlico river at a cost of $30,000 is gone.The Nor- folk Dredging Company,doing gov- ernment work in the river,sustained heavy damage.Two of their tugs were sunk,and one of their dredges is on the bottom near the Norfolk Southern bridge.The loss is at least $40,000. Not a single business house on the waterfront escaped damage and the damage sustained cannot now be esti- mated.The loss to each resident of the city ran from $50 to $10,000.One young man lost the savings of a life- time,which he had secreted in his home.Between $4,000 and $5,000 was washed away by high water and has not been recovered. Boats of every description were sunk all over the harbor.Several peo ple have been reported drowned,but this cannot be verified.All over the city trees are uprooted,houses un roofed,wires down and water stand- ing.Washington’s handsome new opera house is practically ruined,as the entire end is caved in,entailing a loss of $10,000. For the past 24 hours the fire de- partment has been engaged in pump ing out cellars in the business section. In some of the buildings the water reached a height of five to six feet. A large number of the colored people had to leave their homes and sleep in the churches,as their homes were un- der water.The tide was 10 feet high- er than high-water mark and in con- sequence the places of business near the river were submerged. While news from the county is meager,reports reaching here give anything but encouraging news. Crops are completely ruined,buildings and stock gone.The storm struck here between midnight and day Wed- nesday,the wind was from the north- east and by daybreak reached highest point,Not in the memory of the old- est inhabitant has such scenes been witnessed.It will take at least 60 days to rebuild the railroad bridges. At New Berne water in Neuse and Trent rivers rose to a height of 10 feet above fhe highest watermarkknowninmanyyearsandallproperty within two blocks of either of these two rivets inundated in from three tosixfeetofwater.

Fourth-Class Postoffices Give MostTrouble——Way Now Being Fixed For Democrats.; Washington Dispatch. Provision for the gradual transferofthefourth-class postoffices of the country from Republican to Demo-cratic hands,a consummation longdesiredbyDemocraticmembersof Congress,is made in the urgent de-ficiency bill just introduced in theHouse.It appropriates $30,000 for the civil service commission to beusedinholdingexaminationsforpostmastersofthefourchclass. As soon as the deficiency bill ispassedtheexaminationswillbear-ranged for and vpplicants of the Democratic persuasion will have achancetobeplacedontheeligible lists .It is expected that these ex-aminations will be seized .upon by aspirants and,once they are filled,the hearts of the Congressmen Willbefilledwithjoy.Since March 4 last the lives of the Congressmen have been made miser- able by the insistent demands of constituents that they be given the smaller postoffices.Information to the,effect that changes could not bemadewithouttheapplicantsfirstgettingontheeligiblelistdidn’t go very far.The men back home scoff- ed at the idea of a civil service and demanded to know why the Congress- men “couldn’t_fix things.”The !at- ter tried but met with ill success.Now that the way is open it will not be long before the ways will begreasedandthisvexedproblemwill be solved.One:member of Congress said,in discussing this proposition,that the fourth-class _postoffices could cause more trouble to a Repre-sentative than all the other placesputtogether.It is around the coun- try store and _postoffice combined that the voters gather in the rural distriets to discuss politics.And it is there that insurrection brews more quickly and more certainly against the powers that be than anywhereelse.a Goy.Craig Asked to Pardon Rev.R.

Cut Out the UselessBaltimoreSun. Secretary Houston’s order reorgan- izing the publication work of the Ag-ricultural Department will stop the waste of tons of costly public docu- ments and furnish bulletins that, written in non-technical language, should be of real service to farmers. The absurdity of keeping up 18 inde- pendent publication bureaus indicates the need of a thorough reorganiza- tion of this big executive department. The monthly Journal of Research,containing the scientific and technical output of the experts,will at once take its place as a valuable,authori- tative publication.But the bulletins for general circulation will be writ- ten in language thu average reader can understand,endeavoring to turn the latest discoveries and technical knowledge to practical use. The same policy applied to Con- gress and other executive depart- ments would stay the flood of useless documents,save millions in printing and prevent clogging the mails with carloads of printed matter nobodyreads.

Mr.Hoover (or Huber as the Ger- man has it)must have decided that the eight completed the family,for at this point in the record he set dawn the following couching prayerforhischildren:; “The God of Peace sanctify these children with His blessing and let them grow up in wisdom and grace to God and to all mankind;and strengthen und keep them eternally hapny through Jesus Christ,theirLordandSaviour.” That prayer of dedication of the children is a lesson to all parents. Following the prayer is a record of two additional births—ten children was the standard family in the old days—as follows: “In the year 1789,4th of January, a son was born,name Thomas Huber. “In the year 1791,the 19th of Jan- uary,Jacob Huber was born.” Of the ten children it is remarka- ble that seven were born in January.conpeeemeneeesnmenionsnnnmerenmveratin Central American Countries Protest- ing Against Banana Tax.

It has developed here that the Cen- tral American countrres have protest- ed to the State Department against the levying of a tax on bananas as provided in the Underwood -Sim- mons tariff bill.They claim that if this provision of tne bill is not amended it will seriously affect the cotton goods trade wrth these coun tries.It is claimed that last year these people purchased over $12,000, 000 worth of cotton goods of the class which is manufactured in the South.This trade has been built up at considerable cost by the Southern cotton manufacturers during the past four years.The effect of the tax on the banana growers would have the same effect as a tariff by England on raw cotton would have on the Southern farmers and would re sult ‘n retaliation apainst goods,according to representatives of the Central American countries.In- quiry at the State Department de veloped that the (Central American countries have discussed the matter with officers of the department.Fur cottor been made by these countries,theStateDepartmentwouldnottalkof the _matter fog publication.But enough has been learned that iti at belief--in Central’America that*“s imposition of a tariff on bananaswhichareadmittedfreetoallportsoftheworld,would materially injureourcommercialrelationswithth:people.EE Feeling Between Catholics and Pro- testants in Evidence in Charlotte.

Today a special erection is being held in Iredell to elect a State Sena- tor.While there has been no cam- paign and fo excitement,it is im- portant that the voters go to the polls and vote. TS The Landmark herewith tenders apologies to The Thomasville David- sonian.In a reference to the David- sonian in the last issue of this paper it was intended to say the David- sonian had been “stricken dumb”on a certain subject and the word “drunk” appeared instead of “dumb.”The Pavidsonian editor is a prohibition- ist in practice as well as theory and he is always sober-minded,safe and sane.While The Landmark doesn’t always agree with him he is nearly always right and this paper follows him with interest and profit. LY “Mulhall,”says the Durham Her- ald,“is making a better showing against the lobbyists before the House than he did before the Senate, but just at this time the eyes of the people are _.fowused on other things.”Yes,and it was asserted that the people Mulhall cttacked in his testimony before the Scnate committee would utterly destroy him before the House committee,but they seem to have’made a rather Jame showing.Congressman McDer- mott,for instance,has denied many things but he has admitted enough to cause one to believe he is very much the sort of man Mulhall paint- ed him. Here is a sample paragraph of the stuff sent out dairy about Harry Thaw: Two hero -worshtpping girls stood beneath the barred windows of his (Thaw’s)room for nalf an hour this afternoon holding aloft bouquets and begging him to show his face.“We want to say we've seen you once, Harry,”they cried.“Just come to the window for a second.”A guard turn- ed and spoke to Thew but the fugi- tive refused to show himself. Which shows that Thaw had more sense than the girls.But isn’t.it aw- ful that people who make a hero out of a degenerate crimirfal,who make such disgusting exhibition of them- selves as these girls did,should be permitted to run at large? LES, “A Statesville cotton mill man tells =Landmark that nis mill has re- ceived more orders and more inqui- ries about its product within a week “than it had received for some months prior thereto.Orders and inquiries are piling in,many of them by,tele- graph,which he thinks indicates a revival of the textile industry not- withstanding the passage of the tar- iff bill.All of which bears out the view of the Statesviile cotton mill men and others,who last spring took the position—when protection Demo- cfats were howling that the passage of the tariff bill woufd ruin the cot- ton mill business in the South—that the cotton mills would do business and prosper after the tariff bill was passed.eeeWattleshipnowbeingbuilt wit, itis announced,be cailed North @ar- élina and’the name ‘of the cruiser North Carolina,now in the navy, will be changed to the name of some city of the State.Charlotte people promptly asked that the cruiser be called Charlotte;Winston-Salem peo- ple will ask that it pe called Win- ston-Salem and Asheville people will ask that the cruiser be the name of the mountain metropolis.

Raleigh Times. It was Walter Page,editor of theWorld’s Work and a very plain}spoken North Carolinian,who ‘made a lot of people very angry when atGreensborotenormoreyearsago,he spoke about “The ForgottenMan.”North Carolina is reachingoutafterthatman,for he is theveryoneshewantstogetunderher best influence.We are doin some- thing for “The Forgotten Woman,” and she is really more im.ertheman.The women w ‘0 out in the highways and Sowave NorthGarolina,carrying demonstrationworkandfinethoughtwellmingledwiththedomesticsciencetheyteach,have experiences on every tour whichbringtearstotheeyes. In one ofthe western counties,quite remote from a town of any size,one of these good women workers,trained.to do all things well,read a beautiful extract on “Woman in theHome;”of how she should not only be one of the burden-carriers but should get her share of the home lifeanditsresults;that the man,themasterofthehouse,the overlord, should not take everything and leave her barely the dregs.The readingwasfinishedandasthereader’s words ended,a little weather-beaten,wash-ed-out,sad-eyed woman came up and said:“Won’t you read that again and read it to the men over yonder intheplacewheretheinstituteforthem is being held.I want my man to hear that.What you read has gone straight to my heart.I ave thought and felt what that man said,but I ain’t never heard nobodysayituntilrightnow.”Her eyes were full of tears and then she told her story.Married 30 years,she had never had in all that time at any one time 25 cents of her own.She had worked as htrd and as faithfully as her,shall we call him better-half?Yet sometimes the openly grudged nickel was all she got.To her as she wept came some of her fellowwomen,and they too had the same sort of story to.tell. The patient demonstrator,listeningintentlyto.this drama ofa life,felt the tears bedim her own eyes.She started toward the men’s institute to there read the message that had so profoundly impressed these forgotten women,but it had just ended. The poor creature talked,surely the under dog _in life’s battle, thought new thoughts as she heard the words from one bold enough to do more than even think them. Now one can see why we have the suffragette.The sort of man who does not see that his wife gets her share of whatever is his is the sort of fellow who is a promoter of the rebellion against man-made laws and despotism.It flames out some- times even in the most patient souls and this little woman of the moun tains,a type no doubt of many of her sex,has like the woman of whom our Master spoke,endured much. The women’s institutes carry a new life and inspiration to the forgotten woman,and if the message-carriers, earnest workers that they are,could only go into every nook and corner of every county,one could realize of what life they would carry with them. That poor woman was dissatisfied,and what man among men who de- serves the name can question her right to her dissatisraction.Her’man, as she termed him,can go hither and yon as he likes,bue she must be cramped and forever at home.He carried the purse and kept its strings tight drawn always,and the weeping } woman who in 30 years had never had so much as 25 cents of her own at any one time,really preaches a ser- mon to men on the great fact that while a woman is a man’s helpmeet, he has as regards,her an obligation to share whatever.may be his’suc- cesses..One can be very sure she will share his failures.Let her see the other side of the shield.

The Hoover Reunion Friday. Correspondence of The Landmark. Over 80 vehicles drawn by 110 horses were used to bring together the 350 to 400 persons that attended the Hoover re-union at C.W.Hoover's, at the old Hoover home on the Amity road from Statesville,last Friday. Exercises opened with prayer by Rev. W.D.Haltiwanger.Rev.W.A. Lutz then read the notice calling the reunion,from The Landmark of Au- gust-29th,and introduced Mr.John E.Hoover of Lincoluton,a son of Solomon Hoover,a grandson of Levi Hoover,who married a Miss Lutz and a great grandson of Thomas H.Hoover,who married Miss Bar- bara Warlick,in early life and set- tled in Lincoln county (1753,I think). The name Thomas is not found in the Iredell records.The initial H might stand for Henry,but Henry of the Iredell records lived in Iredell county. So the identification of relationship is not yet made clear.Mr.Hoover read his great grandfather's family ree- ords of births which had been trans- lated for him by Mr.J.H.Dingel- hoef of Statesville. Mr.Hoover gave other interesting items and invited the Hoovers of Ire- dell to a re-union of the Hoovers of |- Lincoln county next year. Mr.Lutz read the.Twenty-third Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer from the German Bible and made some re- marks on the origin of names.Hoov- er was Huber and supposed to be, from Switzerland. Following these exercises came the abundance of goodics in the p-cnic dinner that we never know how to describe.Graphaphone,violins,sing- ing,conversation,refreshment,stand and base ball were onjoyments of the afternoon.LaF Statesville,Sept.6,1913: Turnersburg Items.

Perhaps the baby is tired of.lying in one position so long.Turn it over.Quite likely it is thirsty.Give it a drink of cooled,boilea water—no‘ite in ‘it. Maybe its garments are wet or soil-ed and therefore uncomfortable.If so, remove them at once,wash the parts carefully,apply’some unscented tal- cum powder,and.put 6n clean,thor-oughly dry garments. Perhaps its clothes-..are uncomfort-ably tight or a pin may be sticking:it. Correct this, It may be complaining about being too warm or asking relief from“prickly heat.”Make it comfortablebyremovingallunnecessaryclothing.a thin gauze shirt and a diaper is all that most babies should wear in hot weather.Light dressing and two sponge baths.daily will prevent “prickly heat.” Maybe it is ebjecting to the quality of the air of the room.Close,hot, smelly air will make any baby peev-ish.Give it lots of fresh air;let it sleep outdoors as much as possible, protected from dust,sun and flies. When in the house keep the windowsopen.

As he was about to be served he ex- claimed,“I’m gone!’and fell back- ward.He was dead in a few minutes. An inquest was held and the verdict was that he died from’unknown causes.It is the common opinion that he died from an electric current caused by the contact of a live wire with some parts of the building.Some others who had entered the place ear- lier felt shocks.It seems the floor Greenville says 12th,1910, FIFTEEN National Farmers’Union Fixes That| as the Minimum Figure—Resolution | as to Schools.

INTERVENTION THE OUTCOME, American Resident in Mexico Fig-:ures That American InterventionNecessaryandanEasyJob. Greensboro News. “There can be but one outcome;and whether the President and his cabinet like it or not,whether Con- gress likes it or not,that outcome is intervention.There is no other pos- sible solution.”Such is the conclusion of an arti-cle on the Mexican situation in the Outlook,by “an American resident.” Intervention,he says,although —se- rious,would not be so to the extentwhichmanysuppose.He thinks the money cost of intervention to the United States would be about onehundredmilliondollars,and thatMexico,a rich country,if well ad- ministered,would have no trouble inrepayingthissum,principal and in- terest.The first step in the occupation of the country would be to take all the ports,sea and inland.This it is sup- posed would require 24 to 48 hours, and would probably be without the loss of a single life.The next pro- ceeding would be an advance upon the interior from,say,Laredo,Tam-pico and Vera Cruz.PresumablywhereverMexicansinofficearefoundwhoarewillingtoassistinpacifi¢a- tion and keeping the wheels of gov- ernment running,they will be retain- ed and protected without regard to whatever party or faction their sym-aoe may incline.The Mexican ikes office and has no sense of hu- mor;“he likes to talk about his coun- try and his last drop of blood;but after a few weeks it will not take agination or casuistry,in connection with good gold money regularly paid, to convince them that those who are really serving their country are the ones who are assisting the Colossus of the North to restore order even at the sacrifice of their personal pride.” Thirty days from the beginning of operations would put us in the City of Mexico and in control of the gov- ernment departments,when our troubles would really begin.Both open and underhand resistance will have to be met.There will be the problem of the creation of a Mexican government.Not a great length of time nor a great many men will be required to open and maintain com- munication over the principal rail- way lines—there have been no trains upon some of them in five months— but it will be years before men now in a state of semi-brigandage,due to loss of occupation,return to work; and before the bitterness and hatred of three years’engendering are for- gotten or dormant,and real elections ean be held. This writer concl.des,as indeed persons resident ih Mexico generally seem to suppose,that the adminis- tration is in ignorance as to the real conditions,the real facts of the sit- uation.The conclusion that interven- tion is inevitable is based upon the following: Mexico is now in a condition of an- archy.Anarchy,without interven- tion,will become chaos.The impli- cation is that it is the duty of civil- ization to check a hopefess condition of anarchy and the agent in this work,under the Monroe doctrine, must be the United States. The revolution in Mexico is a class revolution;the various factions are recruited simply by an appeal to the socialistic instinct which les cormant in every poor and downtrodcen man such as the peon of Mexico.There is no faction that could hope to overcome,even that’of Huerta if How War With Mexico.Began in18e A correspondent of the Philadel- phia Public Ledger quotes Capt. Samuel W.Dewey,a prominent cit- izen of the period of 1835-45,as thustellinghowtheMexicanwarbegan in 1846: General Taylor and the army in Texas,stationed near the border,were busy fighting mosquitoes,gnats, beetles,ete.,and all that could get leave of absence were besieging Con-gress in Washington to declare war. “Why don’t you go to war,Mr.President?”said Dewey..“Because,with a Whig Senate wecouldnotgetsupplies.” “How:many votes do you nes?”“Three would do.” “All right.” Dewey went to the Senators fromtheEasternStates.:“You are interested in the whal- ing vessels at New Bedford?” “Yes.” “Well,don’t we need a port on the Pacific where they can put in for sup- plies,for repairs,for doctoring endfornewsfromhome?” “That is so.’ “Well,take San Francisco from Mexico and as much more territory as we want.” “By jove!That is the ticket.Was- n’t I blind not to see that?”Dewey went to the White House. “Go on with your war.I have gotfivevotesforyouintheSenate.” And for oil magnates this war was waged and “Rough and Ready”elect- ed President by a deluded public. Chasing Brunswick Cattle. Wilmington Star.The story has leaked out that Brunswick county’s promising cattle industry has cost the United States government and the railroads thous- ands of dollars.During this summer, cattle buyers shipped 120 head of Brunswick cattle to Culpeper,Virgin- ia.There were three carloads of them,and they reached their destina- tion before the government officials were aware that cattle had been shipped from a tick-infested country to a tick-free country where the gov- ernment has spent time and public money in tick eadication.Bruns- wick,unfortunately,happens to be a woods range county,and is one of only a third of North Garolina coun- ties which are quarantined fecause of the cattle tick.Cattle raisers in tick-free Virginia have been greatly stirred up by the fact that cattle from a region underthebanhad been landed in their midst.Theyfear that it will re-infect their county and cost at least $10,000 for another tick-erad- ication campaign.The government overhauled part of the Brunswick cattle in Virginia and has them un- der quarantine and treatment.Mean- while,some of them had been shipped into Maryland and Pennsylvania,but the government and tne railroad avu- thorities have gone on the chase and hope to overhaul the last cow in the bunch.

For the Benefit of the Home Com- panies a Subterfuge. State Journal. We do not think a wrong gains any sanctity because its beneficiaries re- side in North Caroliva,but for the satisfaction of those who think that we should submit to the present exor- bitant and discriminatory fire insur- ance rates because our’home com- panies are getting some of the bene-fits,we wish to say a few words about this phase of the question. Of the $256,480,311.79 fire insur- ance done in the State last year,our home companies did $24,188.390.48,or less than 10 per cent.In other words, every time we pay unjust and extor- tionate rates for $10,000 of insurance $1,000 is placed in a home company. Foreign companies in Russia,France, Prussia,England,Sweden and other distant parts do over three times as muuch business here as our home com- panies,and companies from other arts of the United States do thealance.Now seriously;should our home companies ask us to submit to thepresentconditionswhentheygetsuch a small part of the benefits?Are our home companies getting a square deal from the trust,when they get only 10 per cent of thé business in their own State?We do hot think so.We know that the trust holds a club over them and can knock the life out of them.at any timé,and we believe itsprincipaluseforthehomecompanies is as a shield behind which to hide from an outraged public.We believe if the home companieswilldefythetrustanajoinheartily in an honest effort to secure fair treatment for their own people,that they will prosper_far more.—TheyshouldbethehoadandfrontofthebusinessinthisStateinsteadofatthetailendofa.trust.There is a side,the Miraflores Dyke,WAS|Porter's Antiseptic Heali iingOi,It relieves Malariaand builds up the tonie yaa d just a woeks ago,|Painand Healsatthesametime,2c.He,$1.00,|andsure Anget:ofadults and nildrgn.60c,boundto.be somethingradically wrong|more j |with a business when home enter- |prises have such a struggle for a fair |share of the business. |Stock Gambling Coming Under the |Ban. |The speech of Senator Cummins of |Iowa,Republican;cfearly indicates ithat “the best men of all parties are |getting mighty tired of the gambling |carried on in the stock exchanges. |'There will be a day when it will be no more,He was supporting an |amendment he had offerea to the tar- \iff bill proposing a tax of 10 per cent. lon all trades where the seller did not actually own the p»operty sold,in |place of Senator Clarke’s plan to tax cotton sold for future delivery 50 leents a bale.‘Most of the sales oftheNewYorkStockExchange,”he \declared,“are fictitious,Thousands lof men have been wrecked in fortune and their moral fibre broken down by the methods employud.It has been the chief factor.in imposing on the people a great volume of watered stock upon which they must pay div- idends for years to come.”He also said that gambling in stocks was “a menace that threatens the industrial and financial strength of the coun- try,”and that the old Louisiana lot- tery was a “pink”tea compared with this orgy of vice.

Kinston Dispatch,8th, A newspa today from i row escape of the inhabitants there from drowning by the tide in the last week’s storm.A southwest wind is the one most feared at Ocracoke, while the gale of Wednesday drove straight to the southeast;and where- as the tide from Pamlico Sound is more apt to cause damage on the mile-wide sand-spit of the loneliest place’on the Carolina coast,than that from the ocean,the population of Ocracoke village,numbering more thaw 500 souls,watched the 100-mile hurricane pass over with none of the fear that was felt on thé mainland for.them. The water was driven from the sea clear over the island,doing consid- erable damage to small craft anchor- ed near the ‘sound shore,to fences, roofs and livestock.The largest drove of wild horses in the world was on Ocracoke and most of these, the pretty little banker ponies,are believed to have been saved by tak- ing refuge on the tops of a cluster of sandhills 12 miles up the beach,lo- cally known as the Hummocks. Several houses were washed away and in spots the water was neck- deep.Members of a summer colony were on the island and these witness- ed a rare scene when a large tramp steamer,Liverpool to Savannah,car- rying cotton,went ashore directly in front of the village.The crew of 27 was saved. Two and a half miles up beach a six-masted schooner broke in two and her crew was taken off by the men from the life-saving station at Ocra- coke.In Pamlico river a dozen large craft and innumerable small boats were lost in the gale.These had not a chance in the teetn of the fierce wind.When the crew of the steamer Blade,at Bayside,deserted her as the boat broke from her moorings and drifted out into the stream,six miles wide there Engineer John Pilley re- fused to leave her,and his two negro firemen persisted in staying by him. Finally,when the Blade was driven several hundred feet in shore and was about to go into a cornfield En- gineer Pilley drew the seacocks and sunk the vessel.A canal will be open- ed up to her.

The Senate Voted 44 Yeas and 37Nays,Two Democrats VotingAgainsttheBillanda:RepublicanandProgressiveForIt—SomeChanges.uNWashingtonDispatch,9th. The Democratic tariff revision billpassedtheSenateat5:43 o'clock this/afternoon amid a burst of applause that swept down from crowded gal- leries and found its echo on the flooroftheSenate.Its passage was at- tended with surprises in the final mo- ments of.the voting,when Senator LaFollette,Republican,cast his vote with the Democrats and was jdined later by Senator Poindexter,’Pro- gressive.The Democrats had counted throughout the long tariff fight upon losing the votes of Senators Ransdell and Thornton of Louisiana,Demo- crats,who voted :gainst the bill to- day because..it would put sugar on the free list.Untilthe names of Sefi- ators LaFollette and Poindexter were actually called,however,no one knew definitely the stand they would take and their votes were greeted with enthusiastic applause.I President Wilson tonight.express- ed great gratification over the end of the long struggle in the Senate.Sen- ator Simmons,chairman of the Fi- nance Committee,who had the bill through the Finance Com- mittee,the Democratic caucus and the Senate predicted that its passage would bring immediate stimulus to the commercial life of the country. In many important places the Senate has changed the bill that passed the House and a conference committee of the two houses will begin Wednesday or Thursday to pee those differ- ences.Leaders of both houses pre- dict that the conference will consume less than two weeks time. The Senate endeavored today to hasten the bill on its progress to the White House by naming its members of the conference committee a3 soon as the bill passed. Vice President Marshall appointed Senators Simmon’,Stone,Williams and Johnson,Democrats,:and Sen- ators Penrose,Lodge and LaFollette, Republicarfs,as the Senate conferees. Senator.Stone withdrew from the committee and Senator Shiveley was appointed in his place.The House conferees,it was reported tonight, will be Representatives Underwood, Kitchin,and Rainey,Democrats,and Payne and Fordney,Republicans. Each house will have an equal vote in the conference committee even though each does not name the same number of conferees.Following was the roll-call on the tariff bill:Yeas:Ashurst,:Bacon,Chamber- lain,Chilton,Clark of Arkansas, Fletcher,Gore,Hitchcock,Hollis, Hughes,James,Johnson,Kern,Lane, Lewis,Martin,Martine,Myers,New- vessels came two blocks up into town, was headed off and securely moored to a telephone pole. A dispatch from New Berne says| it was definitely learned that the| barge Berkes was lost when a mes- sage was received from Capt.Der- yickson stating that the boat and crew were lost and that he was the only survivor,having been picked up by the life-savers at Gulf Shoal af- ter having been in the water for more than 28 hours.The barge,with a crew of three men,was en route from New Berne to Baltimore,with a load of lumber,when it was lost in the storm. A schooner carrying a cargo of| lumber consigned to a Baltimore firm by the Elm City Lumber Compa- ny of New Berne,was caught in the storm at Royalls Point,50 miles be- low New Berne,and a part of the cargo was lost.The captain’s wife and family were on board and it was necessary to lash them to the masts to keep them fromsbeing washed away by the waves.

WHERE THE SENATOR DRAWS THE LINE. ‘The Landmark recently had some remarks on the attitude of Senator Simmons in holding up or defeating the appointment of certain postmas- ter -candidates,apparently on the sole ground that the candidates op- posed him or criticised him in the senatorial campaign last -year, The Landmark’s criticisms were bas- ed on the reports ‘of Washington cor, respondents to North Carolina pa- pers,the reports not being denied, A citizen.of Wake county,who is a personal friend of the editor of The Landmark and a strong friend and supporter of Scnator Simmons,writes the editor of this paper about the Wake county case,which figured in the criticism,and The Landmark takes the liberty of making use of the facts as he states them. Our friend says that O.K.Holding, “a warm Kitchin man,”was appoint- ed postmaster at Wake Forest,defeat- ing a Simmons man.“Mr.Holding had opposed Mr.Simmons but had not insulted him,”says our corres- Mr,W.G.°Crowder,ap- pointed crop statistician for Wake county,was a Clark supporter,and further: “At Apex Mr.Sears,a Kitchin man,was défeated for the nomina- tion,not because he was a Kitchin man nor because he opposed Sena- tor Simmons.He did not oppose him as warmly as Mr.Holding did.But he did make remarks—at least re- liable witnesses declare that he did— impeaching the party honor of Mr. Simmons and insulting to him and his supporters.” In conclusion our friend says that Senator Simmons is “‘too true to the Democratic party,too wise a man and too big a man to make a personal matter of his power.”The Landmark had expressed the hope that he was and had expressed the opinion that it was smal!business for one of Sen- ator Simmons’position to be using his power in the manner alleged.The Landmark had said further—as our friend knows,for he reads the paper «—that it was natural,all things be- ing equal,for the Senator to favor his friends;and that it was possible for some men to have made them- selves so personally offensive in op- position to him that he would be within his rights in opposing them. But the criticism was-based on in- formation gained from the Washing- ton correspondents—that the opposi- tion in some cases seemed to be sim- ply because the party opposed was not a political friend of the Senator, and that some of his friends wanted the job.This,according to our cor- respondent,is not true in the Wake county cases,and The Landmark is glad to make the statement to “keep history straight and in justice to Son- ator Simmons. ae The passage of the tariff bill in the Senate Tuesday was a great vic- tory for the Democratic administra- tion.The bill is now in conference committee,whére the differences be-_,bween the House and Senate wil)..beadjasThisshouldnottakea great ‘deal of time and it is reason- able to expect the bill will be signed by the President by October Ist,ifnotearlier.Primarily President Wil-son,who is really the Democratic leader,deserves most credit for thesuccessofthemeasure,for he seemstohavedirecteditsfortunesallalong.

Truly yours,GEO.E.WOODRUFF. 402 Kingston Ave. If the writer of the above is a reader of The Landmark he well knows that this paper has said things, in season and out,about the failure of the courts to properly enforce the law—to convict and properly.punish criminals.But the excuse that he would offer for the Charlotte iynch- ing—that it was because the courts fail to do justice—is too weak for discussion.As The Landmark has of- ten said,the victim of the mob is always the criminal who would.re- ceive the full extent of the law if left to the courts.Criminals of promi- nence,who have money and influen- tial friends,are never the victims of mobs.If the mob took charge of a case in which there had been a no- torious failure of justice;or where it was apparent that the criminal would escape by reason of ‘money and the influence that money can buy,one could have some respect for its mo- tives,even when its conduct could not be excused or defended.But the mob as an avenger of wrongs which the law does not avenge!It is to laugh.The mob takes the cases only of the friendless and the weak who have no possible chance of escaping the law. MEET WITH LEGISLATURE. President Tate of the Just Freight Association Calls Mass Meeting in Raleigh on the 24th. President Tate of the Just Freight Rate Association has issued the fol- lowing: “As suggested in my open letter to the people of North Carolina some weeks ago,and as recently advertised by the State papers,a monster mass meeting of every business man and farmer of the State is hereby called by the Just Freight Rate Associa- tion of North Carolina,to meet in the Raleigh auditorium at 2 o'clock Wed- nesday,September 24,the day on which the special session of the Leg- islature convenes,for the purpose of then and there laying before the en- tire body of the General Assembly the cold bare facts regarding over unjust and indefensible freight rate discriminations,and to also appeal to the Legislature for measures as may be recommended by the Governor and the special legislative freight rate commission. “Governor Craig and others will ad- dress this meeting,and it is our aim to fill the entire seating capacity of this immense auditorium with carn- est,determined citizens from every county in the State.It is also our purpose to get in personal touch with every member of the General Assem- bly before this mass meeting with the view of acquainting all.with the caus- es for the hardships imposed upon our people by the railroads.Practically the entire State is now organized and the supreme test as to whether the railroads shall control our future destiny by continued unfair discrimi- nations and selfish greed,or whether the people in whose hands the sov- ereign power lies shall by a spirit of broad,liberal and intelligent.co-oper- ation cause every section of our State to grow,«levelop and prosper,and capital and labor feel that in North Carolina they have an equal chance with the world,will soon be deter: mined.The determined stand.taken by our people in this fight for justiée means victory..Right is on our sideand“wr an pee Courts to Settle New York Govern- orship Controversy.

The Origin of Vox Populi Vox Dei. State Journal. We have become so familiar with the expression “vox populi vox Dei” that it has become trite,and its ori- gin and true meaning are rarely con sidered.Many doubtless think that it originated with some demagogue who wanted to flatter the populace by telling them that ‘‘the voice of the people is the voice of God.”But the first reference to its use,which we have been able to find,throws a dif ferent light upon it and also adds to its dignity. The people of England were dis pleased with their xing,Edward HU, because among other wrongs he had permitted himself to fall under for- eign influence.In 1327 they with told him that they would have him as their king no longer.So they for- mally deposed him and set up his Thereupon Simon Mephaem, bishop of Canterbury,preached a ser- mon,taking as his text the words, “Vox populi vox Dei.”making spe- cial reference to the deposing of the king.When we consider the exaltedpositionoftheArchbishopofCan-terbury,his close connection with the government of taat time and the character of the audience he must have had,we can understand the se- riousness with which the sentiment of the text was entertained.It was a solemn declaration by the highest ecclesiastical authority in the land of the divine right of the people to rule.Le was an early expression of the true democratic spirit which has characterized the English people in every age and every land.It was an acknowledgment that the will of the people is supreme not only be- cause it is irresistible,but because it is most nearly in accord with the will of God. Popular government has usually been through representatives,and when such governments have failed or engaged in wicked undertakings,it is probably true that in each in- stanceit was because of a failure to ascertain and ghcy the true wit oftheple.In our own,time we are wisely adopting measures to facili- ay the expression of the popularwill.

Threatens to Read From the Pulpit Names of Persons Receiving Liquor. In a sermon last Sunday night, Rev.Geo.D.Herman,pastor of the Methodist church of Wadesboro,talk- ed about the evil of liquor drinking and especially drinking in secret,and in the course of his remarks Mr.Her- man,according to the Wadesboro Messenger,made the following state- ment:re “If so much of this drinking is not stopped I am going to go to the ex- press office and get a list of ‘those who are receiving whiskey and read their names out from the pulpit and the amount received by them.If they are not ashamed to have whiskey come to their address I am not their names to the Secret drinking is ten times worse than that of public drinking, ashamed to read neak of the man who is ashamed for his shortcomings to become known.” Can't Kill Dog in Owner's Yard.

A vast amount of capital is going into rubber tree farms.Ev-ntaally there will be a great influx of rubber harvested from them.I am told by manufacturers of automobiles 'that rubber should be cheaper today than a year ago.They expect rubber to go down.” Asked what improvements could be expected in newspaper making in the next decade,he replied:“Some- thing to save paper.xf non-carboniz- ed inks were used—inks that would bleach—papers could be run through the presses again by the aid of an invention or two and be used several times.It's bound to come to a prop- osition of this kind.Inks that wall bleach will be used.” Barn and Tobacco Burned—Other News of Jennings Community.

Lack of Telephone Manners and Fools at a Phone. Raleigh Times,: It is strange that there are so many people who are absolutely without any telephone manners.Itseems,too,that the longer the tele-phone is,used the worse telephone manners become.Of course the man who has an innate sense of courtesy, who is a gentleman by nature,wil not forget,but too many have only company manners,who put on theirgoodmannersastheyputjontheir good clothes and cast them off just as,easily when they think they are not under the observation of some one whose good opinion they covet.One of the most exasperating ofthetelephonenuisancesistheman who is given the wrong number by central and who,being informed of the number he receives,without a word bangs up the receiver,shocking you by the discordant jangling while you are courteously waiting to know if you cain be of service.(Some who get the wrong number act as if the party answering was to blame,in- stead of apologizing for interruption. -—~The Landmark.)Then there is that other nuisance who calls your number and first pop out of the’box bawls,‘Who is that?”Common sense would suggest that he first give his own name and then specify the per- son he wants,if he knows.If he doesn’t know he ouynt to tell his business first to the person wh an- swers the telephone.It very offenhappensthatanignoramusincall- ing a business office will take up two or three minutes’time of two or three very busy men,only to find that he has not gotten the right per- son.Troubles like this could be ob- viated if the person calling wouldtellthepersonansweringthetele- phone the nature of the message and let him connect with the proper per- son to receive it. Troubles of this nature and dis- plays of lack of courtesy like those mentioned,occurring several times a day add a large and unnecessary to- tal to the trials of existence. South Yadkin Association By Editor Johnson. Charity and Children. The South Yadkin Association coy- ers three fine counties,Lredell,Row- an and Davie.There are a number of fire towns in the Association and a prosperous and progressive farming district.It was at one time organized as well perhaps as any of our Asso- ciations.Such men as the lete Maj. Clement,John B.Holman and .Mr. C.Turner (of Statesville),who is not able to attend the sessions now,were at the head of affairs,and attended not only the Assoctation,but every Union meeting as well,and the busi- ness moved along like clock work. The town pastors were also in hearty sympathy with the work of the Asso- ciation and attended all its meetings. It is not so now.The fine organi- has almost fallen to pieces. The order of business at the session last week was handed out in bits,and the brethren seemed unprepared to do anything in orderly fashion The moderator,Rev.C.Cash- well,is fine.There is not a more effi cient man anywhere.He is the cen tral figure of the South Yadkin,but he is not getting the loyal co-opera- tion of the brotherhood.

The Honor Belongs to J.Dd. Stephenson. The older readers of The Landmark will remember the controversy,years ago,over the discovery of Hiddenite, the Alexander county gem.The truth of history is that the gem was discoveredbythelateJ.A.D.Stephen- son of Statesville,but was exploited by Prof.Wm.Earl Hidden of New- ark,N.J.,who gave it his name.A statement in the Charlotte Observer a few days ago gave the honor toMr.Hidden,but a correspondent writ- ing from Raleigh makes the following correction,which states the facts: “Without intent to revive a cussion which was something of a classic two decades ago,and with whose outcome well-informed peoplearefamiliar,I am impelled in the in-terest of true history to restate the fact that this “discovery”occurredafterthefirstspecimenwassentto the North by the real discoverer,thelateJ.A,D,Stephenson of States-ville,one of.the South’s most.bril-liant mineralogists,whose valuablecollectionwassold‘after his death to the State Museum.©He recognized ataglancethatthiswasamineralun-known to the world of professionalscience,which he quietly and unself-ishly notified.In the true and high-est sensé of the word,Mr.Stephenson was an amateur,inspired in his.re-searches not by desire for fame ofcommercialexploitation,but by thepureloveofnature’s handiwork foritsownsake.The bearing off of thetitularhonorbyanetherdoesnotaltertherealfactsinthecase,in whichNorthCarolinian®have a right to feclpride.” A.

The Corporation Commission has jordered the commissioners of Wash- ington county to restore the tax as- sessment of that county to the fig- ures placed by the board of equaliza- tion in 1911.The commissioners, who claimed that adjoining counties were under-assessed,authorized the register of deeds tO reduce the as- sessment 20 per cent in 1912.This was done and resulted in a toss of revenue to the State of $1,000.In its order the Corporation Commission said that the assessment of 1917 waslawfulandapparentsyequalized,andthefactthatothercountieshadas- sessed property too iow was no reas-on for allowing this to oecur in an- other county.The counties undev- assessed should rather be made to increase thelr assessments.The commission was inclined to view leniently the matter,but it could not allow the reductions contrary to law. aa Penalty Not in Keeping With the Of- fence.f Fayetteville Index.

The corporation commission heard at Raleigh Monday,says a report to: the Charlotte Observer,the testimo- ny of Mr.Harry Walters,chairman of the board of directors of the Atlantic Coast Line,in the investigation of the ‘old ‘receiver’s sale of the Cape Fear &Yadkin Valley railroad,Wil- mington to Mt,Airy,and then tookrecessfortwoweeks,when,some-where about September 22,there may be further testimony before the com- mission makes its report to Govern- or Craig and the Attorney General, in compliance witli the resolution of Mr.Walters stated that the Atlan- tic Coast Line,finding that the CapeFear&Yadkin Valley was an impor- tant feeder for the Coast Line and learning that it would likely be sold, set about.buying outstanding bondsoftheroad,but found a formidablecompetitorintheSouthern‘railway. He and President Spencer of.theSouthernagreedtoabandonthepur- chase of bonds and undertake to have the road sold in two divisions,with the expectation that the SouthernwouldbuyonesectionandtheCoast Line the other. However,there was a special act of the State Legislature of 1899 againstanydivisionoftheroadandJudgeSimontonoftheFederalCourtmadeanorderthat’there should be no division of the road for purposes of the receiver’s sale,or purchase forthepurposeofdivisionbetweencom-peting lines. Under these conditions,Mr.Wal- ters and President Spencer agreed that Mr.Walters,Mr.Michael Jen- kins and other associates should go to the receiver’s sale and buy the road,bidding as high as $3,000,000. He was at the sale and made his $3,- 000,000 bid and Seaboard Air Line in- terests bid higher.While he and Mr. Elliott of the Coast Line were dis- cussing this with some degree of con- sternation there was a bid by Pres- ident Spencer of the Southern.Then he and Spencer made several counter bids and Spencer asked him if his last bid was for the mutual benefit of the Southern and Coast Line and he gladly told him that it was and the property was knocked off to him. Mr.Walters said that there had been no detailed agreement as to the actual division of the road,these hav- ing been worked out after the pur- chase and financial adjustment by which the Coast Line and the South- which was $3,122,000.Mr.Walters insisted that there was no purchase on the part of the Atlantic Coast Line interests save that of conserv- ing the interests of the Atlantic Coast Line in the matter of the volume of business.that the line received through its co-operative relations with the C.F.&Y.V.,especially the Fayetteville -Bennettsville division. Those pressine for the re-sale of the Cape Fear &Yadkin Valley in-sist that the testimony of Mr.Wal-ters makes their case both a viola- tion of the Federal Sherman anti- trust act and the State law againstthepartitionoftheroad.In diseuss- ing possibilities in the event this istheresult,they say that a receiverwouldbeappointedtoreselltheroadandthattheproceedswouldgotoreimbursetheSouthernandAtlanticCoastLineforthemoneytheypaidfortheroadandanylegitimateex-penses,and that the remainder,ifany,and there would be most prob-ably a considerable sum,would be di-vided pro rata among the old stock-holders.The State has over $500,000 Suit Against Charlotte Observer andPolicemanForLibel.) Concord Tribune,9th,‘ Mr.M.F.Teeter,one of the larg-est farmers of Cabarrus,has enteredsuitanalysttheObserverCompany and Mr.T.M,Christenbery,of Char- lotte,claiming $50,000 damage'forlibel.The complaint has not yet been filed but summons was served on the defendants ‘yesterday.The case hasbeenenteredinthiscountyandtheplaintiffisrepresentedbyMr.T,D.

LIMITATIONS OF FOOD LAW. Health Interests of Rural Communi- ties Sacrificed to:Great Centres. Colorado Springs,Col.,Dispatch,9th. More than 300 physicians and scientists were in attendance at the forty-first annual convention of the American Health Association -which opened here today.Carl L.Alsberg, head ‘of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture,spoke on “The Limitations of the Federal Food Law.”He was followed.by Dr. W.T.Sedgwick,of Boston,profess- or of biology and public health in the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy,who discussed “The Reappear- ance of the Ghost of Malthus.” “If America would avoid famine in the future as she has in the past,she must begin at once scientifically and systematically to increase and con- serve her food supply,”said Dr. Sedgwick.i City dwellers alone are protected by the Federal pure food law,said Dr.Garl,L.Alsberg.The.health interests of rural communities are being sacrificed to the great centers through the inaction of State health authorities.He reminded them that Federal control was limited to inter- State commerce and had no authority to undertake inspection of food with- in the borders of any State.— “The probability,therefore,is that there are upwards,of 70,000,000 of our 91,000,000 people who have no efficient and systematic protection from the major causes of the spread of typhoid,tuberculosis,deadly intes- tinal diseases of infants,scarlet fever, geptic sore throat,trichinosis and other ailments resulting from the cir- culation of disease producing organ- isms.” The solution of the problem,the speaker urged,was to be found in a more rigid and energetic enforcement of State health laws. “A factory may be run under the most unsanitary conditions,”he con- tinued,“milking may be done by a man recovering from scarlet fever,or milk may be produced on a farm where a member of the family is suf- fering from typhoid,and the Federal authorities have no power to act. Even if these products are shipped across a State line and samples are taken,there is no method for ana- lyzing a product which can supply evidence that the food is produced in unsanitary ways or within contami- nating reach of epidemic or endemic diseases.State authorities,however, can enter these factories,need not wait for shipments to cross State lines and,therefore,provided only that their laws are effective and the funds at their disposal adequate,can pre- vent the sale of these deadly unlabel- ed foods.” The products Dr.Alsberg consid- ered most dangerous,and,therefore, which should be most carefully watched,did not enter largely into iater-State trade.They included milk and other dairy products,water,fish and shell-fish,candy and,in fact,“allfoodthatiseatenraworisshipped exposed to the air.” lith the declaration that the pure food law was largely an economic measure,in that it compelled princi- pally accurate branding of goods en- tering into inter-State commerce,Dr. Alsberg said the Department of Agri- culture was considering an extension of its powers in order to protect fur- ther the rural communities. “The department feels it should give more attention to the protection af these communities,”he said.“This means that the work hitherto largely confined to detection of the presenceefpreservativesinlabeledfoods which do not carry organic diseases, amd the prosecutions for misbranding which might work a monetary fraud ea the consumer,should be widely andrapidlyextendedtothecontrolofin- ter-State commerce in the danger- ous unlabeled foods which can trans-fait and Which do transniit serious dis- @asek..Plans.for extending this worktinter-State shipments of milk alleverthecountfyhavealreadybeen mado,it is the pian of the depart- raent to do more than exercise merely Pelice control over -inter-State ship- mmaents.” Wxtravagance and the Resultant Dis- contene. Charlotte Observer. Adverting to the much-complained- of higher food prices as a small mat- tar in comparison with extravagant quest of pleasure and recreation,the @partanburg Journal estimates thata@uringthesummerthepeopleof Seuth Carolina have spent twice as mauch for visits to resorts as the whole State spends for food.Also that the two and a half_million dol- lars a year spent for therepairs and ranning expenses of automobiles, mine-tenths of these used for pleas- ute alone,would supply the whole State with bread.Our contemporary is right.It is the familiar story of expenditure upon necessaries being grudged more than_expenditure ~up- on luxuries;but this was never so emphatically true as in the UnitedMatesatthepresenttime.Many people would far rather economize im the first direction than in the sec- oad,especially where the second in- velves matters of outward show. They make a giddy pace for even canservative people to keep;for,ow-ing to the enormous concentration of capital and Jabor upon the produc-duction of luxuries and their con-sequent withdrawal from the produc-tion of necessaries,the results canbutrelativelybeescaped.Luxuries e PROTEST AGAINST EUGENICS. A Howl Against a Law That is De- signed For the Benefit of Mankind. Greensboro News.: One is astonished at the storm of protest,invective and ridicule that the passage of the so-called “eugen- ic”law has evoked in,Pennsylvania. Critics have gone so far as,to say that the law,far from promoting ideal marriages,discourages mar- riage altogether and tends to the’en- couragement of irregular unions.In innumerable cases ‘applicants for li- cense have refused to submit to the examination and have _indignantly departed for some other State to have the ceremony performed,Unless all signs fail’the law will soon be wiped from the statute-books,and the theo- ry of eugénics will receive a set-back in Pennsylvania of indefinite dura- tion. Yet the statute seems reasonable enough.It merely proves”that the applicant shall answer a_series of some 20 .questions.satisfactorily; there is no attempt to mate people physically ideal,but merely to pre-vent the union of certain classes that all the world is agreed.should not marry.It is an appalling fact that under cover of the marriage ceremo- ny are committed many crimes more hideous than any murder,however atrocious,for their consequences pursue the children vy the criminal “even unto the fourth generation.” For one very minor example,read what John E.Ray,superintendent of the North Carolina Institution for the Blind,has written concerning the prevalence of congenital blind- ness.Every right -minded man will admit that these things ought not to be,and it is at their prevention thatthePennsylvaniastatuteisaimed. The trouble seems to be that the en- forcement of the law is left to li- cense-clerks,in the first place,and that there is no penalty attached for refusal to answer the questions,in the second.Much more to the pointistheWisconsinactthatcompelsev- ery man who applies for a license to present a certificate of physical fit- ness signed by a licensed physician. But what most astonishes is not the outcry against the form of the law,for that is very faulty,but the fact that its principle seems to be so generally misunderstood.It is not an attempt to produce a perfect human type,but merely an effort of society to protect itself agamst the effects of the sin of its more reckless and un- controllable members.When one re- flects that the offspring of such un- ions as this law secks to prevent nearly always become charges on the State,the reasonableness of thé po- sition becomes apparent. It is surprising that with all the talk on this and kindred subjects,the people of Pennsylvania should so lit- tle understand what their legislators were seeking to do.This is an era of amazing frankness in discussing hitherto forbidden subjects.The world never before saw the time when newspapers,magazines and books |were so full of vice crusades,eugenic theories and wars on the troubles that follow in the train of the social evil.Yet when the mass of the pop- ulation is affected by a law touching on such subjects,a howl goes up that makes the country resound.It is but another proof that tne Talkers,who are sometimes also the Thinkers, compose but an infinitesimal fraction of the total population.A long cam- paign of education is still before us before effective laws on such subjects will be heartily supported. Getting Better in Kentucky. Louisville Correspondence New York Sun. Men of the type of “General”May, who was executed a short time ago at the Eddyville penitentiary,are disap- pearing from the mountains.Vary- ing influences are responsible for their disappearance.In the first place,the mountain country is developing in more ways than,one and “the old home ain’t what it used to be.”Railroads have come into isolatedlocalitiesandsehacis3s"have increased in number and useful- ties ce omen Sh tathtrnnnny Tone the people of the mountains aré get- ting busy.The children are going to school and their parents are devoting themselves to gainful occupations.

Many of the bad men,too;have left the country for the country’s good, realizing that the feud business has come into disfavor and that it is more essential to have good reasons for shooting a neighbor than to have an alibi prepared in advance of the event. Last,but not least,the mill of jus- tice is working in the mountains and the law-abiding element is beginning to assert itself. The electrocution of “General” May should have a deterring in4u- ence in a country where shooting has been so common in the past that some ofthe bad men,like May,have looked upon it as a pastime.

Annual Migration of Birds. Collier’s Weekly. Of all the summer tourists-the| most wonderful are the birds.And) at this season some of them are pack-| ing up and starting South again—so quietly that one is unaware.For| three and a half months,speaking| roughly,they are saying their good-| bys to the North;many of them have had a vacation of only six weeks,for which some will have traveled 15,000| miles.For centuries,for eras,man | has witnessed the flight of birds,rie invasion of the frozen North in all the gayness of bright feathers and wooing| time;their melancholy retreat before a winter unannounced. Yet few of us can speak on the sub- ject with much authority.Why does the insect feeder take his flight in August,when it is still warm enough to suit every one and the air is full of them?How high does the golden lover fly,and why does the warbler| ose his head in approaching the lights of the city,that burn so many wings?| By day and by night the birds’exodus is a marvel;but at night it is most mysterious. It is not alone feathered citizens that fear the hawk tribe that pursue night travel at the risk of life.Why?! Some species seem to have organized their retreat on the most systematic plan;others are impressionists,and mix with other kinds of fowl,travel- ing as the spirit moves,covering no great distance at a time.We all know, how the blackbirds and crows meet} and swing off in troops,starting in August and attaining great numbers in September flight.Some birds cer-| tainly rise to a height of four or five| miles on their pilgrimage,and the! speed of some is calculated at 100 miles an hour.Millions upon mil-) lions of birds are in motion at this| time,or a little later.The loss of| them for a season may in part explain | our autumn sadness. o.¥,Seard,sheriff -of Caldwel; county,has resigned.to give atten-| «fn to private:business and Jerome| Triplett has been elected to fill out!his unexpired term.i to 25c. dies, Former Mexican AmbassadorWashingtontoNegotiate.

To show that they can and will sup- pert a local -cd:operative creamery,the farmers of Iredell should first es-tablish cream routes and regularly ship cream from not less than 500cowstotheCatawbaorsomeother creamery,is the opinion of Mr.Alli- son J.Reed,State dairyman,who spoke at the meeting in the interest of a creamery for the county,held at the court house Saturday.Mr.Reed knows the dairy and creamery busi- ness from a to z,is very conserva-tive and his talk was exceedinglypractical.He gave the cold facts without any whitewashing. Having been in the creamery busi- ness himself for several years,Mr. Reed spoke from personal experience and in beginning his talk he explain- ed that he was going to give the plain facts about creameries for fear thatthoseinterestedintheproposed creamery for Iredell might allow their enthusiasm to run away with them and establish a creamery before they were really ready for it.He does not wanttothrow cold water on the prop- osition unnecessarily,and yet he does rot want to see this county fail in the undertaking,as others have done. Local co-operative creameries are of the greatest general benefit to any community when successfully operat- ed,but it is useless to undertake the @peration of one until the cream from at least 560 good cows is assured along with the loyal co-operation of the owners.The listing of 500 or more cows is not positive assurance that good cream from that number will be regularly supplied the cream- ery and before a creamery is estab- lished in Lredell the farmers of the county should be shipping cream from teat number to some other nearby creamery.Until the number goes be- yond 50@ they would probably get jest as much or more for their cream after paying express charges than if they were operating the creamery themselves.The true co-operative creamery is owned by the farmers themselves and the only dividends paid are in the price of the cream— the price of the products of the cream- ery the price paid for the cream,The creamery simply sup- plies w good market for dairy farmer,the patrons of the creamery reeeiving all the profits aside from the running expenses of the plant. Pos this reason the creamery shouldbeownedbythefarmerswhopa- tromize it and those owning stock in tee plant should be paid just a lit- the more for their cream than is peid others in order to encourage meore farmers to want to get stock im the ny and as a recompense te those who put up the money.The stock should be sold in shares of $25 se that it will be in reach of every farmer,but a stockholder should not have more than one vote,no matterhewmuchstockheowns.Mr.Reed gave the history of the creamery business in the United States and told of the operations of the first creamery promoters who es- tablished plants whére there was not sufficient cows to support them andfleecedtheshareholdersoutofthe capital stock.Many creameries have been built and operated only a fewmoathsandtheirfailurehasbeona great,set back to dairy farming,ia the communities where th.ey were lo-cated.Other creameries have man-aged to continue in operation but are mot making profits because of a lack of proper support,while a few have proven very successful,the Catawba Co-operative Creamery at Hickory being one of the most successful.Hard work and disappointments arerequirementsofasuccessfulcream-ery.There must be enthusiasm,butitmustalsobeproperlydirected. A blackboard was used by Mr.Reed in presenting figures to show thatacreamerymightbedperatedinIre- dell with the cream from 500 cowsatagoodprofittothosefurnishing the cream,but without paying any dividend on the capital stock,which would necessarily be from $2,000 to$3,000 on the start.The average cow yields 150 pounds of butter fat a year and with 500 cows a total of3,750 pounds a month should be as- sured.This butter fat should pro- duce 4,791 pounds of butter.Esti-mating the cost of operating theplantat$465 the month,should thecreamerypay28centsapoundfor the butter fat and sell the butter at20eentsapoundtheprofitswouldbe enly a few dollars.But the actual profit goes to the farmer when he gets 28 cents a pound for his creamandatthesametimehisfarmis being enriched as a result of hiskeepinglivestock.In closing Mr.Reed urged ‘the farmers to buy more cows,secure cream separators,establish routes and immediately begin shipping cream to the Catawba _creamery.When the cream from 500 or morecowsisbeingshippedregularlythecreamerycompanyshouldbeformedandagoodsecond-hand creameryplantpurchased.There are plentyofgoodplantsthatarepracticallynewthatcanbesecuredatreasona-ble eost and the office of State dairy-man stands ready to assist in secur-ing such a plant when the pertimecomes.It makes no differencewherethecreameryislocated,so farasitsbenefittothegeneralcommuni-‘ty is concerned.Only four or five/men rr. will:be emplo in the plant.Mr Reed's addvese Mr.M.P.Alexander Succeeds Mr.J.M.is as’Deputy Collector.

THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,--September 16,1913. m INSURANCE ROBBERY,ETC. A gentleman who owns @ dwell- ing in Statesville,on which the in- surance has been costing him $6, was notified a few days ago,when the policy expired,that the premium would be $16.Same house,same surroundings,same amount of insur- ance,same conditions.The town has just put in a motor fire truck,with a speed record of about a mile and a half a minute,which stands in read- iness to go to fires any minute day or night,and with a chemical engine that can put out an ordinary fire be- fore you can wink your eye.All that,and right on the heels of being told that the coming of this motor fire truck was to reduce insurance, this citizen is ¢alled on to contrib- ute $10 extra for the same amount of protection. Brethren beloved,the highwayman who puts his pisto]in your face and demands your pocketbook,is a gen- tleman and a scholar compared with such methods as these. This isn’t the only instance.Nu- merous others of a similar character have been reported in.The Land- mark and there are others that have not been reported.While some have had to pay double,we do not recall an instance in which the increase has been as great as the one mentioned. What’s to be done?Something will be done whenever the arouse themselves .and «demand it. We elect men to the Legislature,but it has been the case in the past that whenever relief was to be secured from such outrages as these the peo- ple have had to go to the trouble of organizing and so arousing public sentiment that the powers that be were afraid not to grant them what they asked.For yeurs we have suf- fered from people unjust and discrimina- tory freight rates.A few faithful souls in the Legislature called at- tention to it and urged that a reme- dy be applied.They were called demagogues for their pains.But finally the people began to take no- tice and so strong has been the mand that something is going to be done. It will be necessary to do the same thing with reference vo .this ance trust unless the people of the towns do what the farmers have al- ready done—organize mutual insur- ance companies.The Landmark is not well enough informed on this point to discuss it,put with the in- formation it has it can see no reas- on why this can't be done.Why should we pay excessive rates to for- eign corporations who arbitrarily fix rates when we could secure the pro- tection at less cost and keep the mon- ey at home by the co-operative meth- od? de- insur- The Chatham Record of last week said: Courts are not held this week in several counties because of the sick- ness of the judges who were,to haveheldthem.This is a-great hardship on all persons who have any business in those courts,and we hope that the While The Landmark’s’statement was more abrupt than it should have been,the Raleigh Times is assured that no discourtesy was intended with reference to its statement as to the identity of the Charlotte lynchers. When a lynching or something simi- lar occurs in a community it is/a custom,to shield the community or to divert suspicion from the perpe- trators of the crime,to suggest that it was done by outsiders.This ex- cuse is usually so frivolous and un- founded that The Landmark confess- es to impatience with it,If in the Yharlotte case the crime had been committed in the country,there would be some foundation for the sugges- tion that the lynchers were country people;but The Landmark has ‘no idea that they were\from the coun- try;and while some Charlotte peo- ple expressed that belief we question if few of:them really believed it.We could go on and answer,to our own satisfaction at least,all the points raised by the Times,but it would be time and space wasted.The Char- lotte lynchers are safe so far as the law is concerned,whoever they were.NR Forsyth,Davie and Iredell coun- ties sent delegations to Raleigh last week to insist upon Governor Craig spending the entire $40,000 appropri- ated by Congress for road experi- ments in North Carolina on a high- way to connect Winston with States- ville,thus changing the course of the State Central Highway and at the same time changing the New York to Atlanta highway—better known as the national-highway.Davidson and other counties interested are fighting the proposition and hope to have the money divided so that Davidson cun- ty will at least get some improve- ment.When Davidson will not help herself,she ought not expect the na- tional government to do so.Moores- ville Enterprise. A second conclusion.In protesting against this change the Lexington Dispatch,hoping to gain sympathy from Mooresville,said that Statesville ought not to ask for the change as it would deprive Mooresville of the Cen- tral Highway.In the first place the majority of the travel from the South for the Central Highway will always come by Mooresville,regardless of the designation of the route.In the next place the change of the national highway from Winston-Salem via Mocksville,Statesville and Moores- ville,will of course give Mooresville much more than it could possibly lose by any change in the route of the Central Highway. Deputy Collectors and Marshals May Be Taken Out of Civil Service. Washington Dispatch to Raleigh News and Observer. Senator Overman announced _be- fore leaving for the State for a few days’rest that he will introduce as a rider to the urgent deficiency ap- propriation bill,which is yet to pass the Senate,the provision that depu- ty collectors of internal revenue and deputy marshals be taken out of the classified service.Senator Overman was particularly incenked to learn from the Civil Service Commission that a college graduate was unable to stand the examination held in North Carolina,on August 16,for deputy collector.-A high school graduate,it is stated,could stand the examina- j tion betterrthan a man ten years out lof college,though the'latter might business that AFTER THE BILL PASSED.

When it is remembered that the race was in slavery up to within less than a half century ago,that now it owns $700,000,000 worth of property in the United States,that the race during this period has increased in popula- tion from 4,500,000 to 10,000,000 |dreadful,”writes Mrs.Sarah E.Duncan,of Tipton,lowa.“We thought sure he was ing into consumption.We bought just CONFEREES MAKING PROGRESS|i = House and Senate Democrats GettingTogetherontheTariffBill—Disa-greement on Metal Schedule.

Contrary to the general expecta- tion,little difficulty was encountered in the agricultural schedule,the House conferees agreeing quickly tofreecattle.The dispute on the countervailing duty on wheat is yet to be settled. As to the banana tax it is gen- erally known that the President wish- es it stricken out.This would mean a loss in revenue of approximately two and a half million dollars. In all of the schedules slight changes were made,the Senate re- ceding from amendments where de- creases in rates were made.This policy,it is said,will be maintained throughout the conference,Mr.Un- derwood insisting that too much reve- nue has been cut out of the bill. In the liquor schedule the general rates were approved but action on the proposal to put the full internal revenue tax on brandies used in forti- fying sweet wines was defeated.In the earthenware schedule the Senate receded from some of its amend- ments increasing the rates on higher grades of mica.

Had Buried $45 in Wheat—Meney Re- covered. Mooresville Enterprise. From time immemorial people havehiddenmoneyandtreasures’in strange and out-of-the way places, where thieves and robbers would not suspect,and in the more primitive days,when banks were few and far between,it was quite customary and common for people to hunt out secret places for hiding away ‘mall as well as largé amounts of money.A rath- er interesting incident developed here Tuesday morning.Mrs.James Gant, who lives on the outskirts of the town, had.$45 in gold and currency,and wishing to leave her home on a short visit,hid the money in some wheat. Tuesday morning she had Mr.W,F. Melchor to go to the bin of wheat and measure up a sack full to bring to mill,After the man had departed for jtown she thought of her hidden mon- ey.A runner was sent to notify Mr. Melchor of the treasure and upon search it was found.Mr.Melchor jeame on to Templeton,Williams &|Co.’s big mill,reported his find to |Mr.Ed.Brawley and turned the mon- |ey over to him.Mrs.Gant soon fol- lowed and the near-lost treasure wasjrestoredtoher.The money was promptly placed in a bank,where it will not be run through a grist mill, jand phere there is little danger of ‘robbers getting away with it... |LN |Wilmington Druggist Sent’te the |Roads.

Mr.Anderson of Minnesota is so disgusted with the methods of legis- lation in Congress that he has re- signed from the ways and means committee.He complains of legis- lation by caucus and in analyzing the operations of the caucus system,Mr. Anderson says 14 Southern States— ‘Alabama,Arkansas,Florida,Geor- gia,Kentucky,Louisiana,Mississip- pi,Missouri,North Carolina,Okla- homa,South Carolina,Tennéssee,. Texas and Virginia—‘“alone send 129 Democrats to the House—enough to control the legislative policy of the caucus,and hence the House.” You can get one of these new models with the assurance that the style is correct and at a saving of from $5.00 to $10.00 on each suit.

Certainly there is widespread appre- hension in Louisiana on that score. Hence much interest will be mani- Devising sé “6 sé sé oe cases at least represent not the will of the majority of the Democrats but probably the will of the Repub- licans and a Democratic minority; and the Democrats,being in the ma- jority,would have to be responsible for it.When the Republicans con- trolled Congress they proceeded in this matter just as the Democrats are now proceeding,and a majority of the Republicans being from the North and West legislation was con- trolled by members from that sec- tion.If the sectional issue is to be raised it applied then as much as it applies now,when the majority of the Democrats are from the South. Mr.Anderson’s attitude is puerile. There is an opinion in Raleigh,it is reported,that the railroads may, before the time for the convening of the special session of the General Assembly,submit a compromise prop- osition which will be acceptable to the Governor,the corporation com- mission,the special freight rate com- mission and the Just Freight Rate Association.The railroads have a way of waiting until the last moment, until they are forced,before they will act.It is possible,or probable,that in this case they will wait until the eve of the assembling of the Legis- lature before making an offer that they will expect to.be accepted;or more probably they will wait until the Legislautre has under way meas- ures designed to reach them.In the Passenger rate cases they waited un- tilthe Legislature had assembled be- fore they yielded and.it if not improb- ‘able they,wit follow the same course this time.By waiting until they are forced,the railroads lose all credit for doing things which they would get if they showed a more concilia- tory spirit earlier.In other words, when they know,or should know, that they will be compelled to do cer- tain things,if they would go ahead and do them without waiting for force measures to be applied,they would get better terms,would be in a better attitude before the public and have/a much greater measure ofpublicsympathy:|When they dethingsundercompulsiontheygetlittlecreditforwhattheydo.ButthatisthewayoftherailroadsinNorthCarolinaandtheyshow.no disposition to change.een The Commercial club of Durhamwillwagea“Buy at Home”cam-paign,with a view of inducing homepeopletobuyfromhomemerchants and to get them in the habit of us-ing articles manufactured in Dur-ham.A campaign of this charactershouldbewagedineverycommunity.

If the advice of State Dairyman Reed is followed it is probable that the Iredell farmers and others inter- ested in the establishment of a co- operative creamery will first see if cream can regularly be secured from 500 cows before an attempt is made to establish a creamery in Iredell.If the cream from 500 cows can be se- cured and regularly shipped from Iredell to Hickory or come other point,then the creamery can be es- tablished in Iredell.But until this matter is thoroughly tested it is not considered wise to make the move.The.Landmark hopes for the early establishment of the creamery in Iredell,but the plan suggested would seem to be the safe one.With proper effort it should not be long until a supply of cream sufficient,to run a creamery in this county can besecured.. is Cos =Atonnd High :Average.7Thecost‘of living’on Jute 15 was approximately 60 r cent higher than the average between 1890 and1900;more than 3 per cent higher than it was a year ago and nearly15percenthigherthanitwastwoyearsago.Investigations of retail prices in 40 cities conducted by experts of theBureauofLaborshowpricesprac- tically at the same level as last No- vember.when the high records of the last quarter century were reached.

It is further claimed that the inven- tion will enable the planters to com- pete successfully with foreign grow- ers,even if the duty on sugar be ul- timately abolished.While it may be too soon to accept such a claim with- out qualification,and while it may be better to wait for final judgment up- on demonstration of the invention upon a wide commercial scale,the an- nouncement contains the germ of a hope that many Louisiana sugar growers may be saved from the un- toward fate that otherwise threatens them in the new tariff.

The United States government is going into the magazine publishing business for the benefit of the farm- ers.This is the annquncement made by the Department of Agriculture, which adds that the first edition of the magazine will be out this month and that other issues will follow reg- ularly at monthly intervals.Thepublicationwillbedevotedprincipal- ly to a detailed review of crop con- ditions nationally and by States.“This information will be prepared in a purely popular way,”Assistant Secretary Galloway declared,“with a view to enabling the farmer to de- termine at a glance just what plant crop and animal crop conditions are prevailing in his own State as com- pared with other States and the coun- try at large and important foreign producing areas.”;It is the department’s purpose *to make the periodical,which will bear the title of “The Agricultural©Qut- ok?’2 magazinewf 4 18 +p er pages.It will deal not alone with theproductionandconditionsofcrop,but will instruct the farmer as tomarketing,his wares. $60,000,000 Worth of Hogs died of Cholera. Inauguration of a country-wide campaign to eliminate or control hog cholera is urged in a special report by Marion Dorset of the bureau of ani- mal industry,national Department of Agriculture,who estimates that during the past year about $60,000,-000 worth of hogs died of the dis-ease.After experimenting for more than 25 years,the Department of Agricul- ture finally discovered a serum thatwillpreventthediseaseandwhich is now being distributed in 30 States. This work,howevers Mr.Dorset says, has not resulted in a noticeable dimi-nution of the disease in the country as a whole,In suggesting a nation-wide anti- cholera campaign,the report urges that the serum be used as a basis.Thesuccessofthemovement,it says,de-pends upon the establishment of suf-ficient State and Federal organiza- tions which will work together,butwhichmustenlist“the full co-opera-tion and support of the farmers.” ENACT English Bidder Furnishes MaterialForAmericanWarship.

The Civie League's Appreciation. Correspondence of The Landmark. The ladies of the Civic League wish to express their appreciation of the many courtesies shown them in connection with the lawn fete of last Thursday evening.To the town for furnishing the lights;to Mr.Morri- son,whose music added so much to the pleasure of the occasion;to Mr Flanigan for advertising and to the following firms,who contributed in various ways,their warmest thanks are due:Statesville Bottling Works, Crawford -Bunch Furniture Co.,Mr. Tharpe,&and MWe.store,Cash Gro- cery Co.,Williams Furniture House, M.P.Alexander &Bro.,Sherrill & Reece,D.J.Kimball,Miller-McLain Supply Co.F.B.Phifer,Eagle & Milholland and J.K.Morrison Co. By reason of these kindnesses the ex- penses were reduced to a minimum. The ladies in charge of the affair did their work well,and the arrange- ments were all that could be desired. The MeRorie lawn was a scene of beauty.The chilly weather was doubtless responsible for the small attendance.The Civic League,not to be daunted by either heat or cold, having been severely tried by both, feels grateful for the $25 it Was en- abled to add to its treasury and takes courage,planning with renewed de-termination still greater efforts in thefuture.

Railroad Scales Inaccurate ? Ninety per cent of the scales used by railroads for the compution of freight are inaccurate,according to Representative Willis of Ohio,whohasintroducedinCongressa_bill re- quiring the instalation by all rail- roads of a’standard type of scales and weighing devices,and placing all such seales under the jurisdiction of the Inter-State Commerce Commis-sion.The bill provides that the standard scales must be installed by June 15,1914.\ “It is true that all the inaccuracyhasnotalwaysbeenin-favor of the railroads,”said Representative Wil-lis,“but that is ‘no consolation to a shipper who has been overcharged.” Ex-Catholic Priest’to Lecture inCharlotte.

Courts Can’t Interfere With Sulzer Impeachment Case. The,Supreme Court of New YorkStateispowerlesstointerferewith the prerogatives of the court of im- peachment which is to convene nextThursdaytohearthechargesfiled against Gov.Wm.Sulzer.The impeachment court not only has the right to judge the guilt or innocence of the accused executive but also has authority to determine the validity of the action of the As- sembly in adopting articles of im- peachment.Once impeached,Gov. Sulzer’s executive functions were transferred automatically to Lieut. Gov.Glynn,until the impeachment court has passed upon the charges. Supreme Court Justice Chester so decided in denying an applicationmadeinbehalfofSamuelFowlerfor a writ of prohibition designed to pre- vent the court of impeachment from hearing the Sulzer charges.Fowler’s attorneys served notice that they would take an immediate appeal but the case is not expected to reach theCourtofAppealsbeforetheimpeach-ment trial begins.The proceedings were instituted as a taxpayer's actiontorestrain*the impeachment court from convening,on the ground that the Assembly could not legally adopt articles of impeachment at an extraordinary session. How a Davie County Man Worked the Newspapers. Yadkinville Ripple. It seems that when one is par- ticularly desirous of swindling the public,they invariably begin on the editor and his paper.Only a short time ago one Daniel V.Davis of Mocksville,N.C.,R-3;sent owt a manuscript to every paper in the Piedmont section on “When to cut to- bacco,”and practically every one of them benefit of the farmers of the section. As a closing remark Davis asked any who might be interested to write Himandhewouldgladlygivethemany information he could on the subject. So far so good,but here is where Davis comes in for his part of the reward.He has charged each and every one who wrote him the sum of $2.50 for the information and asked the special request of each one not to divulge the secret to any of his neigh bors.Besides,the information is be-lieved to be a plain fake,as the meth ods he dishes out at $2.50 per are ab solutely impracticable. (Davis sent his article to The Landmarkonatleasttwodifferentoc- casions,but it went to the waste basket each time.*The newspaper men ought to exercise more judgment Then they wouldn’t get faked nor help to fake others.) Motorcycle Beat Mule Colt in Race But Colt’s Owner Got $15. Grabam.Gleaner.‘ Sam Wilson was driying a few3agoontheroadfrontHawRiv-er to Mebane.A young mule colt was following along with the team.Geo. Wyatt approached from the rear on his motorcyele.The young mule saw him,rather his motorcycle;and hav- ing no particular fascination for the strange looking conveyance,began tomovedownthepikeatalivelygait. The motoreyele man-made no halt, neither did the mule.Mule and mo tor raced at great speed over hill andthroughdale,so witnesses say,put- ting up an exciting and fascinating race.To an observer it looked like the mule crossed the orbit of the mo- tor,and that the bodies clashed.The motor did not slacken but the coltdidand-limped back to its former companions,Its owner felt aggrieved at the loss of the race and the exces-sive exercise inflicted and hailed Wyatt to court to make reparation.He asked $20,but compromised for $15.

A dispatch of the 14th from Mexi- co City says that 100 American refu- gees from Torreon,many women and children,are reported to have fallen into the hands of rebels while pro- ceeding to Saltillo.The authorities at Saltillo decline to take the re- sponsibility of sending a _force to their rescue,fearing that the rebels might commit atrocities which other- Wise might be avoided.

Farmers and Bankers Dependent onEachOther. Farming and banking go hand in hand.One is necessary to the other. The banker realizes his dependence upon the farmer,and the farmer knows he cannot get along without the banker.It’s a mutual proposition, after all.And that’s what brings success in a large measure to all of us—helping each other. It has always been the policy of this bank to co-operate and help the farmer.We have always tried totakecareofhisneedsandassisthim In every way possible and we believe pant we have done has been appreci- ated. We rejoice with the farmers of Iredell and surrounding counties in their success with their farming op- eration this year.Most of them say that wheat,cotton and corn is the best they have had for many years.

NOT SO BADLY TREATED. Reports of Mistreatment of Ameri- cans in Mexico Exaggerated. R.M,Bryant,a wealthy lumber- man of Kinston,N.C.,and Savan- nah,Ga.,was in Kinston a few days ago and gave an interesting account: of conditions in Mexico,in which country he was a recent visitor.He does not believe America should in-tervene in ‘the strife-torn South- ern republic.He also states that the reports of mistreatment of American citizers there are exaggerated.Mr.Bryant went to a point 250 miles west:of Mexico City to inves- tigate timber holdings.He was a guest of a former Governor,who owned hundreds of thousands of acres of grazing lands and who wanted to dispose of the timber on a portion of it to Mr.Bryant and business men affiliated with him.The timber,the |™ fthest pine he had ever seen,could have been bought for a song,but was not purchased’because of its inac- cessibility.Mr.Bryant,the owner of the estate,servants and a detail of 11 national mounted police,rode through the mountains on horseback for two weeks on the _prospecting trip. “Frequently we were halted by soldiers,either Federals or inswerec- tionists,but never molested,”‘said the returned traveler.“Tho troopers invariably inquired our business, whence we came and which side in the war we favored.When we an- swered ‘neither’to the latter ques- tion we were allowed to proceed.Our guard,picturesque and_splendidly armed,were indifferent to everything, seemingly.They all made their beds on the bare ground as soon as the party made camp for the night,and a sentry was never thought of.When we were accosted by soldiers the rurales took no part in the negotia- tions that ensued,and evidently did not intend to make trouble unless they were attacked. “The suffrage is a faree in Mexico. On the place where I was a guest there were thousands of peons,These, allowed a few pigs and possibly a cow and a tiny patch of land besides the few dollars a year paid them, evidently do not care anything about political matters.On the day before ap election the overseers distribute tickets to the vaqueros .and other male peons of voting age,and on the morning of the election all are rounded up and led to the polls, where all vote the tickets given them, mostly without knowing for what or whom they are casting their votes.” Americans are usually treated with respect by the natives,said Mr.Bry- ant,and the suspicion of the Latin- Americans for their Northern neigh- bors’government does not extend to the individual who tries his fortune below the Rio Grande. Checking the Plumage Hunters and Saving the Birds. Baltimore Sun. To save from extinction the birds killed for their plumage to decorate women’s hats and furnish cigrettes, the House placed the following pro- vision in the tariff bill: “Provided,That the importation of 44 aigrettes,egret plumes or ‘osprey’ plumes,and the feathers,quills, heads,wings,tails,skins or parts of skins,of wild birds,either raw or manufactured,and not for scientific or educational purposes,is hereby |prohibited;but this provision shall not apply to the feathers or plumes of ostriches,or to the feathers of do- mestic fowls of any kind.”| When the bill reached the Senate Mr.Clapp proposed that the milliners he allowed to import the plumage of Death From Bubonic Plague in Cal- ifornia, A death from buboni¢plague oc- curred last week at,Martinez,Cal., according to reports received by the California State Board of Health.

The board of army engineers,in a report to Congress,recommended an appropriation of $14,400,000 for the construction of a seven-foot barge canal from Beaufort,N.C.,to St. John’s River,Fla.,as a Southern ex- tension of the Atlantic inland water- way chain from Boston to the Gulf. A 10-foot canal was held as too cost- ly for the present time and therefore disapproved.It was estimated that a canal of that depth will cost $31,-000,000., The army engineers also disapprov- ed the project of building of a canal across the Florida peninsula,connect- ing the waters of the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.The board stated that eventually sich a canal would be necessary for water traffic,but it does not believe the day for its construction has yet arrived. The Norfolk Southern railway has rebuilt its bridges which were dam- aged by the recent storm in eastern Carolina and is now operating trains direct from Raleigh to Norfolk. |} |' |PERSONAL I am pleased to announce|made whereby the Statesville of Statesville. this work with very success State. graphy in all its branches monthly. be five dollars monthly.

Hotel at Blowing Rock and a Lat ofLandBoughtBya Syndicate—Statesville People Interested. The Green Park hotel at BlowingRockand’300 to 400 acres of land ad- joining,have been purchased by acompanythatwillbecharteredasthe Blowing Rock Development Com-ny.A charter has been applied for. he authorized capital will be $125,- 000 and the company will begin busi- ness with about $40,000 capital.The stockholders are J.W.Cannon,Con- cord;J.A.Durham,Geo.P.Wiads- worth,L C.Lowe,E.C.Mellon, Charlotte;L.L.Jenkins,Asheville; Thos.L.Craig,Gastonia;0.

It is the purpose of the companyfirsttoimproveandrefurnishthe Green Park hotel.The hotel will be put in first class condition by next season and will be put in charge of a first class hotel man,who will give the very best service.The develop- ment of the other property is a mat- ter for the future,but the growth of Blowing Rock as a resort place,which is assured,means that future develop- ment is certain. The stockholders of the Blowing Rock Turnpike Company met a few days ago and formulated plans to improve the road from Lenoir to Blowing Rock.Travel over this line was much greater the past season than ever before and accommodations could not be had at Blowing Rock for all who applied.In the near fu-ture a railroad will be completed to Boone and it is only a question of a few years until Blowing Rock will be connected by rail with the outside world. Bsd Road Not in Iredell,Says Mr. Edmonds. Passing through Charlotte recent- ly on an automobile trip,Mr.R.H. Edmonds,editor of the Manufactur- ers’Record,Baltimore,spoke of a bad piece of road between Concord and Charlotte.A local writer on the Observer,having little knowledge of geography,located this bad piece of road in Iredell,which brought a prompt correction from Mr.SeGisecretheCommequbert,ieee Inasmuch as Iredell has expended nearly $400,000 on her roads and has,probably alto- gether,the best system of public roads of any county in the State, the correction was necessary and proper.In a letter to Mr.Gilbert Mr.Edmonds says he noted the cor- rection,and continues: “The piece of road about which I made some comment is between .Con- cord and Charlotte.It is an intoler- ably bad piece of road that ought not to be permitted to exist in any civil- ized country.I rejoice to know, through your letter to the Observer,that Iredell is jealous of its reputa- tion for good roads.I think that is a worthy jealousy,and I am glad that you promptly called attention to the fact that Iredell does not-claim the ownership of that bad piece of road to which I was referring. “Whenever you would like to make known through the Manufacturers’ Record the progress that has been made in road building im Iredell coun- ty,I shall beeglad to give space to it *~r ‘<o .° Petition For An.Additional Ticket Window.: Mr.J.S.McRorie has circulated a petitien this week asking the Statecorporationcommissiontorequire the Southern railway to put in an ad- ditional ticket window at the States- ville station with an additional man in charge,tickets to be sold at one window and mileage to be pulled at the other.The law requires this to be done at stations where the busi- ness justifies it,and that the business at the Statesville station is sufficient to warrant the increase is evident to all who have observed the congestion at the ticket window almost any day, especially for the morning trains. Often it is difficult to get a ticket and get baggage checked in time togretonthetrains. The petition has been largely sign- ed by the traveling men,business men and other citizens.of Statesville. ‘In fact nearly everybody to whom it has been presented has signed it,for the trhveling public familiar with conditions in Statesville feel that anadditionalwindowisnecessary. Mr.Zeb.V.Long and the editor of The Landmark share with Mr.Mc- Rorie the responsibility for the peti-tion. Dr.Stevenson’s History of ConcordChurch. “History of Concord Church from 1775 to 1913,”is the title of a bookpreparedforpublicationbyDr.S.W. Stevenson of Mooresville.The man-uscript is now in the hands of the Brady Printing Co.,Statesville,forpublication.The price of the book will be 50 cents and it will doubtless have a large sale. Dr.Stevenson is not only well post-ed on the history of Iredell county,but he was born and reared in Con-cord congregation (Concord church isatLoray,six miles north of States-ville).and has first hand knowledge of the history of that church and com-munity.Many of the sons anddaughtersofConcordcongregationarescatteredthroughoutStateandcountry.All of these and theirdescendantsaswellasthefolksat NOW THE AUTUMN WEDDINGS.

The freight train which was oper- ated between Mooresville and Tay- lorsville during the summer months was discontinued this week and the passenger trains have resumed freight service between Statesville and Taylorsville.When the new freight train was put on it was.stat- ed that the arrangement was tempo- rary,but it was hoped that it’would be décided-to make the service per- manent.Operating-as mixed trains it is imfpossible for the morning trains between Statesville and Tay- lorsville,which handle the freight,to make good time.Two.and three hours are often consumed in making the run of 20 miles from Statesville to Taylorsville. All trains operating between Char-lotte and Taylorsville resumed their former schedule Monday.The eve- ning train from Charlotte now ar- rives in Statesville at 8.35,instead of 9.10,as was the schedule during the summer.This was the only change as to arrival and departure, so far as Statesville is concerned. How Mr.Pope Met His Death. Mrs.J.A.Pope of Shiloh township,is in receipt of a letter from A.E. Patton of Three Hills,Alta,Canada, giving details of the tragic death of her son,Mr.Brice Pope,whom Mr. Patton had known for three years.Mr.Patton says Mr.Pope was 18 miles out from town en Red Deer river with his drilling machine.Heandahelperwereuponthemachine trying to change a clutch and in some way Mr.Popo’s clothing was caughtinapulleyandhewaswhirledtodeathandhisbodydroppedunder the machine.His neck was broken and his body badly mangled.The remains were taken to town,prepar- ed for burial and funeral services were held.The remains were then taken to Acme,25 miles away,andshippedtoStatesville.Mr.Patton writes that Mr.Pope was a faithful worker and conducted"himself well...As evidence of the xe- spect in which he was held by his friends,his casket was covered withflowersandallofferedtheirservices to do what they could.

Agriculture and Domestic Science to Be Taught at the State High School at Harmony. Arrangements are being perfeet-ed to open a school of agriculture anddomesticscienceinconnection,withtheStateHighSchoolatHarmony. An effort is now being made to en- gage teachers for these departmentsanditishopedtheschoolwillbe ready for pupils early in October.To secure these departments.inconnectionwiththeirStateHighSchooltheHarmonycommunityistoeetheteachingequipment.They ave provided ten acres of land andlumberisnowbeingpreparédto erect a building—an addition to thepresentschoolbuilding—which will cost about $1,100.When the equip- ment is furnished by local people the State and county provides the moneytopaytheteachers.Harmony school will get about $2,000 for.this pur-pose. An effort was made to provide a school of agriculture and domestic science in connection with the State High School at Troutman,but so far Troutman community has not furnished the equipment. This is the first school of its kind in the county and the first in this see- tion,so far as The Landmark is ad- vised.The location is an excellent one for the purpose and the people of Harmony community are to be con-gratulated on their public spirit inprovidingtheequipment.The Land- mark has great hopes for the success of this venture in Iredell.In thisschoolboyswillbetaughttheprac- tical methods of modern farming by actual demonstration and work;and similarly girls will be taught the best and most modern methods of house- keeping and home-making.In short, instead of educating the boys andgirlsawayfromthefarm,they will be taught to develop the best in farmlife. This school is another evidence ofIredell’s progress—an advance that is keeping the county in the very forefront with the best and most pro- gressive counties of the State.Whe department of agriculture and do- mestic science at the Harmony schoolshouldbecrowdedwithpupils,andwehavenodoubtitwillbe.

Moseley seems to have a “hankering” after pressing ¢lubs..About three years ago he robbed a Statesville club and served two years on the Iredell roads for that offense. 4 Railroads Make Further Concessions in Freight Rate Matter. Chairman Travis,of the State cor- poration commission,who held con-ferences with railroad officials in Washington last week,got a further concession in the matter of freight rates,which he estimates will save the State $2,000,000 a year.TheSouthernofficialssaythatthecon- eessions which they offer will cost that road a million dollars. The offer of the railroads,made toChairmanTravis,is being considered by Gov.Craig and the Just Freight Rate Commission.The corporation commission recommends that the of-fer be accepted as a solution of the freight rate problem, It is stated that the amended offer of the,railroads make reductions on freight shipped out of the State;that concessions are made to Gastonia andotherbordertownsandthatconces-sions are made to points west ofStatesville.

Little Actual Increase—Now MakingChargesThatWereDueAllAlong-~~People Should Be Grateful In- stead of Kicking. Anent ‘the complaint of the increase in insurance rates on residence prop- erty in Statesville,in some instances the charges being doubled and tripled,the insurance people say there.has been little actual increase in the rates,but that charge is now made for ex-posures,which were due to have beenchargedforallalongbutwerenot charged for in Statesville. The only actual increase in resi- dence insurance rates in Statesville, it is said,is 15 cents per $100 for a one year policy or 30 cents for three years,when the house is occupied bya@tenant.The increase is not charg-ed if the house is oceupied by the owner;and the same increase has been made on furniture.The increase which has raised such a howl,say the insurance people,is a charge for ex~-posures,where the house insured is near other buildings.This is a charge that should have been made allalong,but it had not been the cus- tom in Statesville.Last year in- surance rates were promulgated here and this forced the charge for ex-posures,which had been omitted. That is to say,this community had been specially favored in not being charged for exposures all these years. Instead,therefore,of kicking and howling,the people should pass resol- utions of thanks for past favors;forhadinsuranceregulationsbeencom- plied with,the charges which are now complained of would have been col- lected for many years past.The gen- tlemen who have complained when the cost of 3-year policies jumped from $6 to $16 and from $10 to $20, will now see how unreasonable they are.At least the insurance folks think they should see it,but The Landmark has its doubts.It is sup- posed this charge for exposures was neglected in other towns as well as Statesville,for the same complaint has come from elsewhere,Raleigh in particular. There are,though,those who will yet doubt and complain;who will say that it is a cold day in August when the insurance people can’t offer a plausible explanation for a _raise; that Statesville has increased its fire fighting equipment until it is ae the best,always in the face of promise that insurance rates weretobedecreasedandtheygoupstead- ily,there being always something lacking—some attainment that can’t be reached.Now they say our water mains aren’t standard size and we can't get the full benefit of low ratesonthataccount;and they have up their sleeves another—that the wa- ter pressure isn’t sufficient,that an engine is necessary.If all these things were supplied next week at a cast.of $100,000 or so,some other excuse would be offered and up would go the rates.Anybody of intelligence shouldknow,of course,that this criticismofinsurancecompaniesisn’t a criti-tism of ‘insurance agents,who do not-and cannot control the policy of their companies and have nothing to do with making rates:But the insur- ance companies,who arbitrarily in- crease rates—well,The Landmark would say they were about the worst ever if it was riot already committed to the Bell Telephone Company andthe.express companies,and it can say that they are about,if nof altokkethe,asshad as these.—SageMeantime.we ought to organize mu-tual insurance companies and carry, our own insurance.We can _do it, save money and keep the money athome.‘ Mr.White's Resignation Accepted— Church News.

Statesville’s First Apartment House, Erected By Mrs.R.E.Nooe,is Nearing Completion. The apartment house erected for Mrs.R.E.Nooe,corner Center and Sharpe streets,is nearing comple-tion and it is hoped that it will be ready for occupancy early next month.Mr.T.L.Steele and _his force of mechanics are now putting the finishing touches on the interior, the exterior work having been prac- tically completed.Mr.T.D.Spencer, an Ohio man who is now traveling in this territory,has already rentedoneoftheapartmentsandwillmove his family here from Charlotte just as soon as the building is ready for occupancy,and several parties are negotiating with Mrs.Nooe with aviewtorentingtheotherapartments. The apartment house,the first of its kind in Statesville,is a handsome two-story red pressed brick structure, with stone trimmings,and contains 20 rooms divided into four distinct apartments—-two apartments on each floor.Each apartment contains a large reception hall,two bedrooms, dining room,kitchen,store room, butler’s pantry and bath room.Each apartment also has a large side porch and a small back porch and the upper story apartments have access to rooms in the attic.Al!the rooms are white plastered and the trimmings are of natural wood,while the floors are of sweet gum,stained and hard- oiled,making the entire interior bright and attractive.The entire building is wired for electric lights and telephones and piped for gas connection,the wires and piping be- ing concealed,and the plumbing is of the highest grade.The bedroomsareequippedwithready-shelved closets,the pantry and kitchens are ready-shelved and the bedroom doors contain mirrors.All the apartments will be heated by a central steamheatingplant.The second story apartments have front entrances and the entrances to the lower story apartments are from the side porches. Concrete walks will lead from the sidewalk to the various entrances.Taking it as a whole the building is modern and up-to-date in every par- ticular and is not only a credit to the owner and builder,but to the town aswell.It will help meet the growing demand for first-class living apart- ments in Statesville. Including the heating plant,clec- trical and plumbing fixtures,cement walks etc.,the apartment house wi!) cost in the neighborhood of $12,000.

The Greensboro Record finds that attendance on the circus is falling off in Greensboro—because there are so many other attractions-——and says: A circus is a circus just as it was fifty years ago,except there are no bareback riders like Jim Robinson. When he died the whole bunch died with him.‘ It’s.surprising that the Record didn’t add,“and there are no more “ywns like John Lowlow.” Recently “some of.the papers—The d gandmark among the.number— printed the statement of Rev.D.S. Phelan,a Catholic priest and editor of the Western Watchman,who vileby: slandered the people of North Caro- lina and Tennessee all because the Charlotte school board had failed to re-elect two members of the Catholic Church teachers in the Charlotte schools..The Rev.Joseph Mueller, pastor of St.Peter’s Catholic church, Charlotte,writes the Charlotte pa- pers that he was disposed.to think the article credited to Phelan a fab- rication but that investigation has disclosed that it is substantially cor- rect;that he regrets that such a slander could have originated from a Catholic priest.In explanation Mr. Mueller says that Phelan’s “conduct and speech have repeatedly brought on him the censure of his superiors in the Church,”and that his paper the Watchman—“is without ecclesias- tical approval and in no way repre- Catholic Phelan’s sents the diocese or the Church.”In statement The Landmark said that while it was not fair to hold the Catholic Church responsible for such utterances that it would be so held by the majority of the Protestants; and so long as Phelan remains a priest in the Church the Church will publishing be held in a measure responsible for him,no matter how often,he 1s cen- sured or whether his paper has “ec clesiastical approval.” “MATTERS OF NEWS. A bill to appropriate $25,000,000 for the construction of roads in con- junction with the States and under the direction of a national bureau of public highways has been introduced in the Senate by Senators ThorntonandBankhead.The bill proposes that the States provide an equal amount.

Provisional President Victoriano Huerta Tuesday night delivered his semi-annual message at the opening of the second session of the Twenty- seventh Mexican Congress.In it he promised to spare no efforts to bring about the unrestricted election of President and Vice President of the Mexican republic next:month,de- claring that it would constitute the greatest triumph of his career to turn over the office to his successor with the country at peace as he hoped to 0.: General Huerta said the strained diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States had caused the Mexican nation to suffer unmerited affliction and had retarded the paci- fication of the country.Nevertheles§ he hoped soon to see Mexico and the United States again united in bonds of friendship. He drew a distinction between the attitude of the government of the United States and that of the people of that nation,saying the “tenseness of our diplomatic relations with the government of the Wnited States of America,although luckily not with that people,has put us in a state of apprehension.” The message was disappointing to many who had hoped that the Presi- dent would deal at some length with recent diplomatic exchanges.The silence which prevailed during the reading of the presidential document by the clerk was broken at its con- clusion by prolonged cheering in which the Congressmen were joined by the crowds in the galleries. In his peroration,Huerta said: “The Mexican government regards the pacification of the country as an urgent necessity in order to restore the public’services to their normal state,to re-establish the political,so- cial and economic equilibrium and to make possible a programme of re- forms which will satisfy the national aspiration. “T will spare no effort and no sac- rifice to obtain the coveted peace and to guarantee fully in the coming elee- tions the free’casting of the ballot.” Of the treasury funds amounting at the beginning of the last fiscal year to $27,600,000,$24,900,000,he said, lhad been expended for the pacification of the country.Of the loan of $100, 000,000 authorized in,May,French bankers took $30,000,000 at 90.Out of this Speyer &.Co.had repaid $20,- 000,000,half of which was a loan to the National Treasury and half to the monetary commission.For the army 6,000 horses and 2,300 mules had been purchased during the year. The national cartridge factory,he said,was turning out 260,000 cart- ridges monthly.Besides a great number of cannons of various de- scriptions,machine guns,rifles,car- bines and ammunition,the govern- ment has contracted abroad for 10 aeroplanes,77 armored automobiles and.60 unarmored automobiles and two armed transports.

Correspondence of The Landmark. Since the meeting Saturday in Statesville in the interest of a cream- ery for Iredell county,I have heardthatanumberoffarmersweredis- appointed because there was not some sort of organization effected.It maybethatsomeexplanationshouldbe made 2s to what the meeting Satur- day was really for.A creamery on a co-operative basis has been agitated for somé time,but our people as ageneralthingdonotunderstandthe proposition.This meeting and the talk by Mr.Reed was solely to get a better understanding of the creamery business,or what might be called the manufacture of butter by co-opera- tive ‘methods,rather than by the in- dividual method,and also the advant- age of handling the.manufactured product in large quantity rather than by the retail method.;Some thought that Mr.Reed gave the business such a frost that it was killed,but that was far from the case.Mr.Reed is a State officer nd it is his business to point out all the details of the creamery -bus-iness so that people may go into it with their eyes open.The proposi- tion as I understand it is very sim- ple.With a sufficient number of good cows the manufacture of butter and the sale of butter on such a co- operative basis is a profitable busi- ness.Mr.Reed took the smallest number of average cows that wouldlaceacreameryonapayingbasis.Byvery cow above the number of cows in his calculation would be a profit producer,or if.the cows would aver- age higher in butter fat production there would be a larger profit.Many creameries have made failures,but a creamery organized on a sure basis, that is,with a sufficient number of cows to pay all expense of manufac- ture and cost of handling,has al- ways been a success and will be again.Of course the promoters of this creamery want to make it a success, latter part of October or the first of November.The State High Schools at Harmony,Troutman and Scott’s began this week.

Judge Clark of the Statesville Landmark is considerably exercised over the fact that the .Charlotte banks,after having been represent-ed by the Observer as “being in posi-tion to handle the business of this section without asking for any of the Treasury loan,”did not only ask for a loan,but asked for more.It is a pity the Judge cannot see further than the front steps of The Landmark office.The,Charlotte banks did call for a loan and then for more,not be- cause they could not get along with- out it,but because thev wanted more business and took.this method of reaching out for it.Plain enough, isn’t it?—Charlotte Observer. The Landmark can see far enough, beloved,to see that you are in a hole. With an “assumacy”that was a cause for wonder and admiration,the Obser- ver boasted that the Charlotte banks had “money to burn,”so to speak. They were in position to handle the business,not only of Charlotte,but of this section,without asking the gov- ernment for money,boasted the Ob- server.Immediately following this boast the Charlotte banks asked the government for a million.Being al- lowed only $400,000 they sent a mes- senger to Washington and brought political influence to bear to get at least $200,000 more and did suc- ceed in having our Senators and Representatives worry $100,000 addi- tional out of the Treasury Depart- ment. The Landmark isn’t blaming the Charlotte banks.They evidently needed the moncy and it was natural for them to try to get all they could. What we're pointing out is that the Observer fell down when it boasted that the Charlotte banks could take care of the situation without any gov- ernment money. Next time,esteemed,you go boast about something Charlotte can do you want to be sure the facts won't bring confusion on you. This from the Charlotte Chronicle is of interest to the Iredell farmers who are considering a co-operative creamery for this county: One thousand tubs of Elgin butter, containing 30,000 pounds,-have just been shipped to a cold storage plant at Wilmington and will,of course,be used to supply the trade in that city.This shipment is a very small part of the total amount of butter the city of Wilmington imports.The price will average probably more than 33 1-2 cents a pound,so that $10,000 goes out of Wilmington for this single consignment, This is evidence that there is a market in the State for all the but- ter the creameries can make.In this connection attention is.directed to the statement of Mr.W.C.Wooten, on the third page of The Landmark today.Mr.Wooten properly argues that the first thing for our people to do is to furnish the cows,establish milk routes and show,by actual dem- onstration—while shipping the cream elsewhere—that we:can furnish “enough cows to profitably operate a creamery in Iredell.In this matter as much interest ‘should be taken as if the creamery was.already estab- lishedin’Iredell,for the otily way “to assure-the success af a ereamery 18 to show in advance that it can be supplied.To start and fail would delay the enterprise for years.When it is demonstrated that the county will supply the cream for the cream- ery,which can be done in a short time with proper effort,the matter of getting the stock subscribed and or-ganizing will be comparatively easy. The location of the plant is a matterforthesteckholdersto when they organize.—_—— Tt is stated that M.P.Alexander,who succeeds Collector Davis in therevenueservice,is appointed tempo-rarily,“Mr.Alexander not havingpassedthecivilserviceexamination.”It may be all right,of course,butwhatisthecivilservicefor?~Greensboro News.

The annual meat bill for the cats in the New York office is something like $60.Cats also serve as official mouse catchers in most of the other large government buildings. It was found ‘some time ago that cats were needed in the cold storage depot in Manila,and as the tempera- ture in this building is low at all times it was necessary to get some of the cold storage breed of cats from Pitts- burg.This breed originated in the great warehouses of .a cold storage company and has developed.special cold resisting qualities.They are short-tailed,heavy set and covered with long,heavy fur.Their eyebrows are extraordinary long and strong.It is said this breed does not thrive if transferred to a place of ordinary temperatures. Strong Objection to Removal Freight Train. Taylorsville Scout. The Southern railroad has taken the freight train off between Tay- lorsville and Statesville and again hitched the freight on to the day pas- senger and mail train.Our people submitted to this outrage for a quar- ter of a century,and we will admit that years ago the business was not sufficient to justify a separate freight;but such is not now the case The Southern has not another 20- mile branch that gives it one-half the freight and passenger traffic that the “Old June Bug”gives it.The amount of time taken to do the freight work proves it.With the old system,now re-established,it took the morning train always one and one-half hours to bring the mail and passengers 20 miles and often as much as three or four hours.It is true that ours is a small county;but we do a big busi- ness and our people have _rights which we should demand.If the railroad company cannot or will not appreciate our patronage then we should go before the corporation com- mission and see what can be done. of Threatened Trouble Between Japan and China.

Attempted Ke Shake Are Light and Was Instantly Killed. Monroe Dispatch,17th,to Charlotte Observer. Thinking to do what he had often before done and had seen others do, Mr.Ellison H.Bivens,local manager of the Southern Cotton Oil Company,caught hold of the chain of a sputter- ing arc light in front of his home to- night about 9 o’clock,intending to shake the lamp and cause the carbon to burn more freely,and was instant- ly killed,it being estimated that fully 2,300 volts of electricity passed through his body. Mr,Bivens,with his wife and three children,had started to another part of town.Seeing that the light in front of his home was not burning properly, he seized the ring at the end of the chain which lower a light of this type. The chain,it is supposed,had become heavily charged through a short-cir- cuit probably caused by the recent heavy rains,and the death of Mr. Bivins was instantaneous. Another Attempt on the Life of Gen. Otis. Gen.Harrison Gray Otis,owner of the Los Angeles Times,Los Angeles, Cal.,received an infernal machine by mail Tuesday.It was the second time within three years that General Otis’life had been attempted by a bomb.5 Any chance of his being killed or injured by the bomb was foiled by the watchfulness of General Otis’ Japanese servant,who became sus- picious of the package and called his employer's attention to it.The at- tempt on his life is attributed by the general to agencies friendly to those whose conspiracy ended in the destruction of the Times’building and the killing of 21 men three yearsago.

And don’t be side-tracked from your purpose with regard:to agri- culture by hearing somebody say, “Well,what does the teacher know about farming?Has she ever done any farming?”Send this answer back:“Well,what does’she know about Gettysburg or Waterloo?Has she done any soldiering?How then can she teach ,history?And what does she know about Canada and Ger- many?Has she done any foreigntraveling?How then can she teach peography?” As we have said before,the as- sumption that a woman cannot teach the elements of agriculture—not farming,mind you,but simply the scientific truths that have practical application in farming—unless she has been a field hand,is an absurd de- lusion.She doesn’t need to be a cen- tenarian and a soldier in order to teach history;it is-not required that she travel around the world before teaching geography;she need not have written a book before teaching grammar;she need not have robbed graves and dissected corpses before teaching physiology.Why argue then that she must have broken steers and scientific truths about soil chemistry and plant physiology that have prac- tical application in the/business of farming? You don’t hitch a mule to a plow have to know how to in order to ingby time;you need not know how te run a guano distributor in order te teach the effects of potash,phosphor- ic acid and nitrogen in plant growth; you need not know how to cure cow- pea hay to teach.how nitrogen gath- ered by the cowpeas will enrich the land;you need not know how toshuckcorntoteachwhichtypeof ear has been found to be best for corn production;you need not even have milked cows in order to teach that the Babcock test will show which dairy cows are paying and which are not;nor need you have butchered steers in order to tell that with a der- sey and a Polled Angus,the Jersey is better for the dairy and the Angus for beef. With the aid of a good text-book your teacher can teach these and a thousand other vital scientific facts about agriculture.Make your boys study it, Randolph-Macon Remains a Denomi- national College.

Washington Dispatch. Enormous increase in the amount of foreign beef is noted by.the bureau of foreign and domestic com- merce,which announces that the im- ports of such meat during June,July and August were approximately 3,- 000,000 pounds. The most of this great volume of supplies.came from Australia andArgentina.It nearly equals for the three months the amount brought into the United’States during the entirefiseal~year ending May 381 last. The meat ranges in cost from seven to 10 cents a pound in the country of origin.To this,of course,is addedthetransportationandothercharges and the customs duty of one and one- half cents a pound.It is expected that the importa- tions of beef will be increasingly heavy throughout the present fiscal year,especially with the passage of the pending tariff bill and the removal of duties from meat importations. With the growth of the trade more lines of refrigerator ships will be in- augurated and arrangements now are being made,it is understood,to es- tablish several such dines through American capital. Foushee Resigns on’Account of Ill Health. Judge Howard Foushee of DurhamhasresignedfromtheSuperiorCourt bench on account of ill health.His resignation takes effect Sunday,21st. Gov.Craig will appoint his successor. Judge Foushee was appointed to the bench in 1911 by Gov.Kitchin to succeed Judge Biggs,resigned.He was nominated and elected in 19:2.

Judge Foushee is a good lawyer, personally a fine gentleman and made a popular judge.The illness which forced his retirement from the bench is greatly to be regretted.

Statesville,N.C. -|George Nance,who remains in the WHITE FARMiM COMMUNITIES. Race Segregation in Barn Com-munities,; To the Editor of TheLanduiaxti Will you be kind enough to give me space-—since the idea is.so new, since it has excited so much interest, and since so many people are ignor- ant of my exact purpose—to explaintoyourreadersjustwhatIproposebythepolicyofracesegregationI have been advocating for the rural South?But to begin with,let me say a word es to the imperative need for some such remedy as I have been urg- ing.I knew when I began this agi-tation that thousands and thousands of white farmers in all parts of the South were being forced from theirhomesforsocialreasonsbythegrow- ing number of negroes around them(as my own father was),but I did not then know how widespread are the evils resulting from our present in- discriminate sandwiching of white and negro farmers.The hundreds of earnest messages from farmers,and even more earnest messages from farmers’wives,and daughters,have opened my eyes.A white farmer may have bought land in what he expected to remain forev- er a white community,may have built a good home with this expectation,ordering his whole life accordingly. And yet some non-resident owning land adjoining him may put any kind of negroes on it,terrorizing the far- mer’s wife and daughters,destroying the social life of the community,de- reciating the value of the farmer's and,and finally forcing him to move for social reasons—leaving the ne- groes to gobble up the farm for half its real.worth. This is not a fancy picture but a literal report of what is actually happening all over the cotton belt. Almost every section of the South feels the blighting effect of such conditions.Worthy settlers refuse to come,and farmers already in the community hesitate to build worthy country homes,because they have no assurance that they or their children will not be forced to leave the place in order to find plenty of white neighbors. If we are to save the rural South to the white race,we must find some remedy,and I have become cenvinc- ed that an aroused public sentiment is not enough.We must have a stat- ute which will enable any white com- munity that wishes te do so to take steps to insure its remaining white —a statute framed notin a spirit of injuktice and persecution to the ne gro,but in a spirit of justice and protection to the white man. Briefly,|propose a_simple law which will say that wherever the greater part of the land acreage in any given district that may be laid off is owned by one race,a majority of the voters in such a district may say (if they wish)that in future no land shall be sold to a person of a different race.Provided such action is approved or allowed (as being jus, tified by consideration of the peace, protection and social life of the com munity),by a.reviewing judge or board of county commissioners, It may be argued,I know,that such a law is unjust because with the gov- ernment of the South as it is,it could be utilized by white people to keep their communities white,but th«. groes would rarely or never be abletouseittomakeacommunitywhol ly negro ,All of which I admit,a: yet I believe it is just.

For instance,the income tax sec-tion of this bill will stand as a mon- ument to the constructive statesman-ship:of Representative Cordell Hull of ‘Tennessee,and every one of his as-sociates on the-ways and means com-mittee,Republican.and Democratic,joins in praising him for his lab ruponthismeasure. No sooner had the sixteenth amend-ment to the constitution authorizing Congress to levy a tax upon incomes been ratified by three -fourths oftheStatesthanParnasOscarUnderwood,majority leader,sent for Hull.The ways and means chairman told the Tennesseean to draft an in- come tax section in harmony with the new amendment and submit it to the ways and means committee for con- sideration.This was a stupendous job.It in- volved the economics of the entire na- tion.It meant the collection ‘and di- gestion of a mountain of statistics. It embraced a study of all the income tax laws of the world and a review of the tax laws of every State where such methods of raising money were in force. Surrounding himself with the best advisers he could find and with all the government experts,Hull plung- ed into his task.He worked day and night for weeks.He wrote section after section,then finding new phases of the question to be met,tore up his drafts and started all over again.He would decide upon a maximum ex- emption one day and then -finding it too high or too low,would modify it the next. Finally,after wading through a maze of rates,figures,facts and stat- utes,Hull emerged with a finished product.That is,it was finished in so far as the groundwork was con- He expected that changeswouldbe-made,and changes were made.He expected the assessments would be modified in many particu- lars,and they were modified. But the sub-structure upon which the income tax law was to be enact iS bs } Adler's al CollegianClothes 7 Suite and KOvercoats$15 to $35 HE cleVer styles and graceful lines of Adler’s Collegian Clothes make a good impression for their wearer wherever he goes.They give you the comfortable sense of looking well,and they stay in shape until you are ready to discard them.You get more for your money,too._We would like to have you look over our extensive assortment while it is complete,for we are sure that you will find ex-e« actly the togs you have had in your mind’s eye, The R.M.Knox Co.

Shuford and a horse.ridden by,Mr. Clarence Johnson collided Saturday night at the corner of Broad and Elm streets,but no serious damage re- sulted.The horse was hurt but his injuries are not considered serious. Mr.Shuford,it is said,was:going out east Broad street at a reasonable rate of speed.On reaching the Elm street crossing he says his attention was at- tracted by a team coming into BroadfromElm.When he looked.back in- to Broad street he saw a horse di- rectly in front of the machine and immediately applied his brakes and stopped his engine.The machine did not have time to stop before it struck the horse and the animal was knock- ed down,while the rider,Mr.John- son,was caught on the hood of the machine.Mr.Johnson was unhurt. The horse was more or less bruised and cut,but is not considered seri- ously hurt. Mr.Johnson claims that Mr.Shu- ford was running without lights and that he did not see him until the collision cceurred.Mr.Shuford’s machine is equipped with electric lights and he says the lights were burning until the machine stopped, the sudden jar and the stopping of the engine putting them out.The collision occurred almost directly un- der a street light and it is possible that this light had somewhat blind- ed both parties. Mr.Shuford will be given a hear- ing in the mayor’s court Saturday on the charge of running hig machine without lights. bly Be Candidates For Re-election. While the conventions and _pri- maries for néxt year’s elections are several months to the fore,local poli- tics is being discussed.In Iredell tLe selection of local candidates is usually arranged well in advance of the primaries. The terms of all the county officers expire next year,including the clerk of the court,whose term is four years.Clerk Hartness,who is serv-ing his fourth term and will have been in office 16 years when his present term expires,will be a candidate for renomination.Mr.Hartness is very strong in the county and since hisfirsttermhashadlittleornoopposi-tion.-Whether-he will be opposednextyearisnotknownatthisstage,It is also probable that the other county ‘officers—the sheriff,register and treasurer—will offer for re-elec- tion.Each of these officers is serv- ing a third term and will have been in office six yoars when the present terms expire.For ten or 15 years there has been a sort of unwritten law in [redell that the sheriff,register and treasurer shall retire at the end of six years and the rule has been en- forced at least twice in the last doz- en years.Whether it will be invok- ed,should the present officers offer for re-election,is of course to be de- termined.

THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,--September 23,1913.| COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS Running foot races is a feature of the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic.At the gathering at Chattanooga last week a veteran named Smith from Detroit,69 years old,won the championship over seven competitors.The “Johnny Rebs” will doubtless say that the “Yanks” learned to run during the war;that gome of them’won a championship getting away from Bull Run.There was,however,some running on both sides occasionally. a The call for help comes good and strong from the cotton fields and cern fields.The man who is out of a job now just,naturally does ‘not want ene.--Monroe Enquirer.

It is remarkable how difficult it is for people to understand things at times.For a year the newspapers of the State have published over and ever again all the facts about the appropriation made by the Federal government for good road work;that North Carolina was entitled to $40,- @00 which would be distributed when cértain conditions were complied with, the Governor to award the money— to designate the places it would be used..Last week Harnett “county commissioners appropriated money,and citizens are to subscribe more,for good road work.Then it was decided that Harnett would ask fra part of the Federal appropria- tion.So,according to the newspa- pers.two cirizens,one a State Sena- tor,journeyed all the way to Wesh- ington to see about getting the mon- ey.When they reached the capital they were advised to apply to Gov. Craig.Reading the newspapers would have saved them a_trip to Washington. where The Observer says a letter from Mr.H.A.Banks,private secretary to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, suggests that the cruiser North Car- olina,whose name will be changed when the battleship North Carolina is completed,be called Mecklenburg. Charlotte,Asheville and Winston- Salem have each asked that the cruis- er’s name be changed to that of these cities.Charlotte,says the Observer, objects to Mecklenburg because there are Mecklenburgs in other States. it is admitted that there are other Charlottes,too,but the Observer doesn’t seem to think this will count. The Observer refers to Statesville as an applicant to have the cruiser nam- ed for this town.Statesville is not a formal applicant.The town _has made no request of the Secretary.

Raleigh Dispatch,19th,to CharlotteObserver. “After much study of the whole situation,and mature considerationof:all the circumstances and.condi-.tions,the corporation commission un- animously recommends the acceptance of the proposition,with the firm con-viction that it will save the people a lange amount of money,and give re- newed impetus to our industrial and commercial development.”This is the concluding paragraph of a four- page lettcr from the corporati-n com-~ mission to Governor Craig as to thelatestamendedproposaloftherail-road companies for the settlement®f the inter-State freight rate differ- ences.Continuing,the letter declares that the proposition offers such substan-tial reductions in rates from the West as to amount to a compliance in good faith with the original agreement,and makes such adjustment of the matters involved in:the suits of the corpora- tion commission against the railroad companies as to warrant their with- drawal.The reduction applies,the commis- sion sets out,to a very large terri- tory,embracing the Buffalo-Pittsburg zone and all territory west thereof and north of the Ohio river,and all territory west of the Mississippi riv- er to the Pacific coast.Furthermore, the commission.declares that the re- ductions offered will save the shippers of the State $2,000,000 a year based on the railroad earnings for 1912,the proposal constituting the largest and most comprehensive concessions in freight rates ever made by any rail- roads to any State at one time. The letter pronounces the proposed adjustment the greatest achicve- ment in railroad regulation ever gain- ed by any State by any means and has been accomplished in a remarka- bly short time at insignificant expense compared with the magnitude of the matter.The commission explains that the proposal does not settle all matters in dispute but that those not agreed upon are left open for possible adjust- ment later and those settled remain in force for two years,affording a reasonable time for trial of this ad- justment and its effect on the roads. Thereafter,such changes may be made as experience may show wise, The commission also quotes Chairman Commerce Commission as saying that Edgar E.Clark of the Inter-State he unhesitatingly advises acceptance of the proposal as of great advantage to the State. As to the newly-incorporated out- bound freight rates,the commission sets out that those now included pro- vide class rates on.Western traffic. Heretofore some classes have had no through class rates to the West,and all such shipments were made on full locals under one classification to Vir- ginia cities,and a different one be- yond.This resulted in very high rates and much annoyance to ship- pers.The proposed rates will remove this annoyance and make large re- ductions in rates, The letter reviews the new rates from the East,those for the Buffalo- Pittsburg zone,and explains the fur- ther concessions made for the Hick- ory west of Statesville,and Gastonia zones and those to points along the northern border of the State. The commission regrets the impos- sibility of getting any additional con- cessions for water points,including Wilmington,New Berne,Washington, Edenton,but point out that these points already have much lower rates than any interior points and will con- tinue to enjoy lower rates on this ac- count and the belief is expressed thattie’Citizens “or these fd join in the acceptance of the propos- ed adjustment as a patriotic neces- sity.‘ Wilmington Dissents —Chairman Travis Criticised.; Wilmington Dispatch,19th,to ChaelotteObberver~,. Branding the latest proposals of the railroads in the State freight rate difficulty as the work of Chairman Travis of the cornoration commission, J.Allan Taylor this afternoon urged the adoption of a strong resolutidn of protest against.the acceptance of these proposals by the State,and stated his bolief that Mr.Travis is not fit for the office which he now holds. The chamber of commerce adopted the resolution offered by Mr.Taylor, opposing the last proposals on the same general grounds as the first were opposed—that tidewater points are utterly ignored by the.railroads in the attempts to settle the rate ques- tion. Mr.Taylor expressed his regret that the chairman of the corpora- tion commission was not present‘to hear the criticism he had to offer of that official’s course,which he de- clared to be vacillating.When the first proposal was submitted,declared the speaker,the argument of Mr. Travis was in line with the position taken by Wilmington;now he has ap- parently changed his position with.out any explanation or modification of his former stand. The commissioner is either trying to destroy North Carolina water |points,said Mr.Taylor,or be is at-jtempting something that he knows can never be enacted.|He asserted that the Southern railway controlsthesituationabsolutely,and he.criti- cised the Seaboard and the Atlantic|Coast Line,the two roads entering |Wilmington,for not protesting in.be- |half of the city,which has always < jbeen kindly disposed toward them’.

After a long investigation of the killing of Officer Wichter at High Point,the coroner’s jury found that he came to his death at the hands of unknown parties.Wichter,it is reported,died believing that the shot which killed him was accidentally fir- ed by Chief of Police Ridge,but it seems that the evidence was insuf- ficient to fix the blame on any one.

Finding itself “balled up”by its boastings—for the second time with- in «a few weeks—unable to justify jts statements and unwilling to ad- mit that it is wrong,the Charlotte Observer.resorts to the age-old prac- tice of calling the other fellow names. The House and Senate conferees are still at work adjusting the differences between the tariff bill passed by the House and the bill passed by the Sen- ate.They hope to finish the work by Thursday or Friday,but it is doubt- ful if the final action can be taken on the bill before the first of next week. While the corporation commission fias recommended that,the latest offer of the railroads as to freight rate ad- justment be accepted,it is doubtful if it will be.«Chairman Travis insists that his critics are without knowledge as to the actual conditions.Presi- dent Tate of the Just Freight Rate Association and others say the offer would be all right if it was final but that it is so filled with provisos os to be almost worthless.It looks like the railroad people are simply try- ing to ease matters off until the ex- tra session of the Legislature is out of the way. The opinion is growing in Washing- ton,correspondents of North Caro- lina newspapers say,that ex-Gov. Glenn will be given a nice job in the Federal service,which will eliminate him as 4 possible senatorial candi- date.Gov.Glenn was in Washing- ton last week but when the corres- pondents tried to talk to him he dis- played irritation and said,when ask- ed if he was going to run for the Senate,that it was none of the news- papers’business,and further: '“Newspaper men keep right after men and continually misrepresent me, and I’m going to keep my business to myself.” This is further evidence that Gov. Glenn isn’t going in for the Senate. If he is he is unwise to go getting crossed with the newspapers.NY Judge Frank Carter talks to the grand juries about the extravagant style of living,the automobiles and things which causc many people to live beyond their means,and he also brings an indictment against the tel- ephone.He says a telephone in the house runs up the cost of living 30 to 40 per cent (because it is so easy to order things over the phone much more is bought than would be bought otherwise)andis bad for the morals of the young people,as boys and girls court over the phone and say things they would not say in the _privacy of the home.The judge's remarks have 2 sound basis;whether they will do any gdod is another mat- ter.But while he is about it we wish he would go after the people who hold a telephone wire to gossip for an indefinite time,and.also,th#t he Would give “particular fits”,to those Ss who sp forret theit .matp>rs that “when they call you up,they peremp- torily demand-tp know who yeu are (as if you had calléd them)and at the same time fail to introduce them- selves. Hans Schmidt,the Catholic pries who murdered a woman in New York with whom he had gone through a mock marriage ceremony,has been shown to be a counterfeiter and an all-round bad citizen.Immediately after his arrest for the murder,which he promptly confessed,it was shown that he was considered insane at his former home in Germany;that he had been driven from ong or more places in this country because of his peculiar conduct,and doubt was even thrown on his ordination to the priest- hood.All this was brought out in one day after his arrest.And yet Schmidt had been regularly exercising the office of priest in a great Church. He seems to have been accepted and no question 6f his insanity,of:his moral character or the genuineness of his ordination raised until he was known to be a murderer,It would have been better if the man’s charac- ter and.antecedents had been looked up before he was allowed to take up the’work of the priesthood in Ameri- ca.In this matter,however,the Catholics have not shown more negli- gence than their,Protestant brethren. If,a man offer credentials as-a minis ter he is usually accepted with little or no investigation;and often the worst sort of characters have brought shame on the cause of religion through the negligence of the Church authorities.The police believe that instead of being insane Schmidt is simply en extraordinarily smart crim- inal,With this view ‘The Landmark is incimed ie sympathize. “Weeping mayendure for a night but joy cometh in the morning,”saith the Scripture,A week of overcast skies and rain and gloom has ended and there is bright sunshine and cool, bracine weather that indigates®that Indian,summer,the most glorious season of tho year,is near at hand. The Mexican military court that spent six months investigating (7) the death of Madero and Suarez has decided that their taking off was not brought about by “a punishable crime.”Certainly the folks:who had the men killed that they might gain place and power,do not think their removal is a punishable ‘crime.The Mexicans ate slow if it’took a court six months to ascertain what the ba)- ance of the country knew next day.

STOUT LADIES TAKE ACTION. Will Not Wear Dresses That.SuitOnly‘Thin Folks.” Charlotte Observer.©: The fall fashion for women makes the hobble in the skirt a little tighterandthe‘slit a little higher.Things seem to be built so largely for the benefit of the slender women-that the stouter ladies,who also want to look well,are talking of starting a coun- try-wide.crusade.A start has been made in Pittsburg by Mrs.John 8. Flannery,who is president of the Co- operative Housekeepers’.Association. She gave voice to her indignation in no uncertain tones one day last week. Mrs.Flannery held up one of the snake skin trailers and demanded.toknew“what sort of a chance would a fat woman have in a thing like this?”Mrs.Flannery went on to de- clare that the thin and scrawney women have a monopoly.“Whoever started the theory,”she asks,“that skin and bones constitute’beauty,anyhow?This imposition on fat wo- men has gone on long enough,and it has now got to stop,In the name of the Housekeepers’Co-operative As- sociation we demand clothes,that a modest fat woman can wear without subjecting herself to public ridicule.” Then Mrs.Flannery gathered her ample skirts ‘and her sympathetic group of listeners around her and sallied forth ona tour of the Pitts- burg dress -making establishments. All in the raiding party were fat— more or less.They read the riot act to each establishment.It is related that every fashion -maker —ap-proached by the fat women admitted at once that the arguments were weighty.But fashion -makers are fickle,and while feigning with one hand to widen skirts for fat women they may be tightening the hobble and lengthening the slit with the oth- er hand.The Pittsburg co-operative housekeepers have issued a call to as- sociation members all over the coun- try to join in the protest The World’s Greatest Office Building. Manufacturers’Record. The.greatest office building which the world has yet seen is now under construction in New York.The cost, including the ground,will,it is“tinder- stood,be about $35,000,000,or possi-bly more.This is the new Equitable, which takes the place of the old Equi table destroyed by fire,It is to be an amazingly great structure,and the plans indicate that it will be as com plete and perfect in all its appoint- ments as it will be stupendous in size and cost.An-interésting fact in connection with this undertaking is that the men who are building it have taker up an advertising campaign unlike anything ever carried out by any office building in this country,so far as we know. They are widely advertising the build- ing a long time before it will be com- leted.They are carnying in the Newforkdailypapers,and will doubtless advertise elsewhere,a series of adver- tisements calling attention to the magnitude of the plan and the perfec- tion of the building when finished, with the idea of acquainting the whole world with this new office structure. a distinct,unique character so that every tenant will reap some of the benefit that comes from being locat- ed in a building which will be known worldwide.It is their aim to make this the central office point for rail- road,financial and industrial corpora- tions and for outside interests who maintain offices in New York,having in mind also a degree of care as to the tenants to be selected in order to secure an exceptionally select list of those who may occupy this gigantic structure.

Big Wireless Station to Be Construct- ed at Honolulu.

THE FIVE AMENDMENTS, Five Proposed Amendments to theConstitution,the Most Important,Explained by Mr.Bailey. The extra session of the J.egisia- ture,which convenes tomorrow,iscalledtoconsideramendmentst9the constitution.Mr.J.W.Bailey of Raleigh,a member of the constitu- tional amendment commission ap- pointed by the Legislature to pre-pare and submit amend.oents to the Legislature,discusses rietly |and concisely some of the most important amendments in last week’s issue oftheProgressiveFa:mer.Mr.Bailey says:The commission proposes 14changesinthe¢onstitution;but only.five of the changes are of real impor-tance.I shall omit discyssion of the nine amendments of less importanceinorderthatImaymorefullydis-cuss the five amendments of more importance.These five are:1.The initiative and referendum. 2..The classification and segrega- tion of subjects of taxation. 8.Improvement of the system.4.Restriction of local and special legislation.5.Demand for six-months school term.I ‘shall discuss these subjects the order as stated. 1.The Initiative and Referendum. The initiative enables the people to demand Iegislation,of the General Assembly;and if the General Assem- bly refuses them,it enables them to have a vote on the legislation de- manded.If a majority vote for it,it becomes law.That is to say,the in- judicial in _jitiative does not do away with the Legislature;it only enables the peo- ple to keep the Legislature from do- ing away with them.It enables the people to do what the Legislature fails to do for them.The initiative does not tend to break down repre- sentative government;on the other hand,it guarantees that the govern- ment shall represent the people's will,The referendum is just the other end of the initiative.The initiative enables the people to do for them- selves what the Legislature may fail to do.The referendum enables.the people to undo what the Legislature has done against their will and wel- fare.It gives the people the veto-— the power to prevent by a majority vote an act of the Legislature from going into effect.This,like the in- itiative,guarantees that our govern- ment shall represent the people. Opponents of these measures de- clare that the people cannot look out for themselves—that the people can- not be trusted.This is,the only ground on which these measures can be opposed. I hope the people of North Caro- lina will convince their representa- tives in the General Assembly shortly to meet in special session that the least they can do is to let the people say whether or not they shall have the powers of initiative and referen-dum.All I ask is that the people be permitted to say whether or not they can be trusted. 2.The Matter of Taxation. Our present system of taxation has gone to seed.It has driven personal property,especially solvent credits, into hiding;and it has s@t counties of North Carolina into a competition to see which can assess real estate at the lowest.value.As a conse- quence,we present to the world our- selves as a race of unblushing liars, and our property as of the lowest value and our tax rates as of the highest,and our treasury is going on toward bankruptcy.These are not the words of extravagance.They are the sober truth. The proposed amendment will enable the General Assembly to bring about a greatly-to-be-desired reform It will,in the first place,-abolish the uniformity rule now in existence,to classify subjects.of taxation and fix tax rates according to class.For ex- ample,the Legislature might put onerate.on solyent credits and anotheronrealestate.The increasé on sol- vent credits (money due on account &on loans,notes®AW)Ww Timid to 6 per cent.But the income fromrealestateisnotlimitedbylaw.A man’s solvent credits are assessed at their actual value.A man’s real es- tate is assessed at about one-third orone-half.its value—especially if heownsmuch.For this reagon a dif- ferent rate for different classes.of property is desirable.To illustrate. A citizen of Raleigh owns a $1,000 note and mortgage.He knows it is worth $1,000.He lists it. the hundred,$25.10 per thousand.The citizen collects $60 interest and pays $25.10 (nearly half)in taxes.This is wrong,and everybody knows it.Amanleaveshiswifeandchildrena $10,000 policy ‘of insurance.They invest it at 6 per cent.They col- lect $600 interest per annum,and pay taxes $251. Under the present.law there is noremedyforthisbuttoperjureone’s self.Under the proposed amend- ment solvent credits and personal property would be put in one class and real estate in another;and rates would be fixed according to thé prop- erty.This is what is known as classifica-tion.It is a good idea.It is essen-tial to justice in taxation. Now for Segregation. By.segregation of taxes is meant the allotment of subjects of taxation as between the counties and cities,on the one hand,’and the State on the other.The new amendment proposes that the State taxes shall all be paid by the public service corporations andataxon.personal property.It specif- ically provides.that the State shall,in the event of allotment under the new amendment,in no wise tax real es- tate other than the real estate ofpublicservicecorporations. That is to say,a land-owner outside of a town would pay for only one tax --the county tax;the farmers ofNorthCarolinawouldpay‘for only one tax—the county tax. This would have.two effects:It only) ‘\the one tax that they can wouldput the respon:y foreswhereitoughttobeteinthome.It would encourage farm-own-ers to value their lands at its truevalue,as they would have to ‘pay only |)con that.is the county tax.It would like.wise put each county on its own bot~-tom—and make an end of the miser- able pauper-county business.—;The new tax amendment also limitstaxratesonrealestateandpersonal property to 50 cents,State and coun-ty purposes,and 75 cents for city purposes.Any greater rate has tobeauthorizedbythevoteofthepeo-ple.The poll-tax may be any amount not exceeding $2.In all probability it will be fixed at $1.;The.sum .total.effect of.the taxa-tion amendment will be as follows:1.To enable the General Assem-bly to place a tax on solvent credits and other forms of easily conceal- ed wealth that will be calculated to induce their owners to bring them out from.hiding;and thus gréatly in-crease the revenue derived from this source,and to that extent relieve land of its present high portion of the bur- den.2.To fix the taxon land as one tax—-and that the county tax,limited to 50 cents on the $100 valuation. 8.To enable the State to derive its revenue from taxes on public service corporations and personal property. “ermockmtractértbetectinmmamsineantataseneetsncnencme Government Will Be Liberal North Carolina Banks.

BENEFITS NOT.IMMEDIATE, Full Benefits of New Tariff Law WillComeinByDegrees,Say SimmonsandUnderwood. Washington Dispatch Sun,Now that the final passage of theDemocratictariffbillisinsight,lead- ing authorities upon,this subject in}+both the-House-and Senate are-con- cerned jest the country expect too much from this legislation as it will affect the high cost of living. These experts now take occasion towarnthepeoplethattheprevailinglevelofpriceswillnotbematerial-ly reduced all at once,but,on the contrary,at least a year will be need- ed to bring relief.They still insistthatreliefwillcome,but will not come immediately. In the first place,it is necessary for the government to overhaul its customs machinery and to put into actual effect.a complete system 6f revised rates.In the second place, the lines of business involved in the pending reductions must readjust themselves to the new Both operations will require time. Even now,these authorities say, the influence of the new tariff legis- lation will be felt.This bill will tend to prevent any undue inflation of prices,though it may not immediately result in a lowering of the cost of food and clothing to the public. to Baltimore These are the views held by Sena- tor F.M.Simmons,chairman of the Senate finance committee,and by Representative Oscar W.Underwood, chairman of the House committee on ways and means.These two chairmen have been the nominal authors of the measure and have led the fight which passed it through the House and Sen- ate. Those people,therefore,who are looking for a quick slump in the price of meat,of shoes,of breadstuffs and of clothing will be disappointed.This slump is not anticipated by the,fram- ers of the tariff bill at once,but ulti- mately,they contend,the level of prices is bound to drop. “Althouch the influence of the new tariff bill,”said Senator Simmons to the Sun correspondent,“will be effee- tive at once,it will not be particular- ly marked by the general public,nor will its benefits be felt widely for some time to come “In short,”he continued,“this influénce will here and now operate against the inflation of artificial prices,but will not tend yet to reducethenormalpricestoalowerlevel. Such a reduction may not come for a year even,and in the case of sugar and wool it will not come for a longerperiod.But I am positive that it will come in the end “For instance,the price of meat will not fall,but it will not be permit- ted to advance to undue proportions.

South Carolina Negro Acquitted'ofNamelessCrimeinFaceofAlleg-ed Victim’s Testimony —Mob HadTriedtoLynchHim,* In the face of the positive state-ment of a respectable white matronof,high intelligence,that he had.as- saulted her,Will Fair,a negro,was found not guilty in court at.Spar- tanburg,S.C.,Saturday afternoon.The woman is believed to have ac- cused Fair in good faith,but to havebeenlaboringunderadelusionduetoherphysicalcondition.The circum- stances surrounding the case did not bear out the woman’s statement,al-though Fair admitted that he passedherhouseaboutthetimeoftheal- leged assault.A physician who ex-amined the woman soon after the crime was alleged to have been com-mitted,testified that he found no marks of violence whatever. The verdict caused no surprise,butwasquietlyreceived.It is said that at no time did the jury,which was out for 20 hours,consider conviction. A portion of the Kry favored a mis-trial with the view to passing the case to another jury.The case was tried at a special term of court called for the purpose.‘ The night after Fair was placed injailamobstormedtheplaceand wrecked the jail gate with dynamite. The negro would undoubtedly have been lynched but for the courage of the sheriff,W.J.White,who faced the mob,pistol in hand,and told them he would kill the first man whe entered the gate.The mob knew him well enough to know that he would make good,and its members melted away.Many pistol shots were fired and Policeman Stevenson,who was alleged to have shot a member of the mob,was forced to resign by public opinion.When the negro was ac- quitted Stevenson was exonerated and restored to duty. While there was no public demon- stration on account of the acquittal, it was deemed wise for Fair to leave the community,which he did. The Chares Against Gov.Sulzer.

That he was guilty of perjury in stating under oath that his statement of his campaign receipts,expendit- ures,disbursements and liabilities was correct.

Messrs.C.V.Henkel,McCombs and Spencer were appointed a com- mittee to make investigations of the property and report to the next meeting what repairs and improve- ments are necessary.Plans for the general development of the property, which includes between 300 and 400 acres ‘of land in addition to the ho- tel site,were discussed,but no def- imite action was taken,further than the appointment of the investigating committee.A committee on by-laws was also appointed.‘ This is the ‘first company organiz-ed to develop Blowing Rock proper- ty.It is a strong company and it is believed that it will be a material factor in bringing that resort into more prominence,in inducing more people to go there and providing ac- commodations for them.While the watural attractions of Blowing Rock have taken many people there’the accommodations are limited and there is a great opportunity to de- velop the place,in which this com- pany proposes to take an active part.

The following sent out from Kin- ston will bring joy to the hearts of many parents,who will hope that the example of Kinston will be followed: The opening of the Kinston schools will see introduced here an innovation believed not to have been tried before in North Carolina,Home study by pupils will become an unimportant factor in the primary and grammar schools,which from.now on will be eperated under the principle that the real work of the school'is to teach the child and not to require him merely to recite lessons which he has learned at home.Greater,attention will be paid to the preparation of work in the grade rooms.‘Superintendent Underwood’s idea is that “the recitation should be not simply a testing ‘progress,but a period when the child really learns to think,to formulate conclusions and to draw conclusions.‘Teaching chil- dren to think is the chief task of the school and is one that is too often neglected in the rush of just hearing lessons.As much as possible of the ehild’s study should be done in the school room and under the ‘care of the teacher.” This plan is an innovation for this generation,but it is not new.It is really a revival of one of the old methods of teaching that should never have been abandoned.It is the teach- er’s business to teach;not to hear lessons only but to instruct the child how to study.Under modern meth- ods,when much of the study is at home,a great part of the burden of helping the child has been placed on the parent.And in the few homes where parents are well enough equipped to help the child with.its studies,much time has to be given to this work,which properly belongs to the teacher.In fact so far has this| sort of thing gone that The Land-| mark has thought at times that inj} the future,if it continues to develop, school houses as we know them now! would be abandoned.A fow reécita- tion rooms could be provided and the| different classes report at different | hours to recite what they had learned| at home;or possibly automobiles| could be provided to transport the| teacher to the homes of the children| to hear them recite,thus leaving the children at home entirely. But in all seriousness,under our | modern graded school methods,the children are given entirely too much work to be done at home.The hours in school should be increased or the studies decreased.Look at the average child going to and from school with a bag of books that is a positive burden,entirely too much for the physical strength of some of them.Then the writing out of num- erous examples in arithmetic and other work keeps many of them hard at work from the time they get home until late bed time;and often to pre-| pare the lessons they have to be kept | up much later than is good for young| children.| even The Landmark has no disposition| to try to instruct the teachers.It is| always disposed to leave the school management to the teachers,whoare| supposed to study such things and | to know what is best,and to sustain| them in what they do.But it is giv-| ing voice to the views of a laymen and sometimes it is good for the teachers and the preachers and all professional people to know what|ethers are thinking.The editor of a wemspe.~*>always glad to.hear the}viewpoint of his readers;and while he is supposed to know his business he very often gets valuable and help-|ful information from the outside.We |Thdon’t believe.it is impossible for teachers to learn -something,evenfromfolkswhohavenevertaught; and it is a private opinion,publiclyexpressed,that if the studies in theaveragegradedschoolwerecutabout25percent,more thorough work done |in the remainder,the children given|more work in the school room andlessworkathome,it would be bet-ter all round.Anyway,here’s hoping the exam-ple ef the Kinston schools will becontagious. a That is a fine scheme of Mr.DubinofNewYork,who would have thegovernmentraisecattleon govern-|ment lands in the West and furnish|them to the meat packers at cost—afineschemeforthepackers.If thegovernmentistogointothecattle|raising business why should it not!supply the meat to the people at costinsteadofgivingthepackersarake-off?Mr.Dubin says his scheme issimple.It is—a simple propositiontohavethegovernmentfurnishcat- lat Lexington was LIVE ITEMS OF STATE NEWS.

BAD STOMACH? ple,and the wonderful advance in the use of better methods in farm man- agement,are all good in themselves citizen.But these are merely the evidences of the real change that has been effected. The greatest thing that has been wrought is the change in the atti- tude of the people toward publicquestions.The long time provincial- ism and’ultra conservatism are fast disappearing,giving place not to socialism nor yet radicalism,but to progressiveism and a spirit of co- operation and helpfulness toward our fellowman.Man is a strange com- pound.In his most primitive state he is independent,but the more he is civilized the more dependent he be+ comes.The more he has the more he wants,and the more he is helped the greater he fecls the need of help and the less is he able to do without it.So these conditions,and they are conditions of our modern civilization, force us to co-operate with one an- other,not altogether because we are so anxious to benefit others as we are to better our own condition.This sense of dependence leads us to co- operate with others in all sorts of ONE DOSE of Mlayr’s Wonderful Stomach Remedy Shon!d Convince You That Your Suffering ts Unnecessary. ways.For instance,we put our funds together to build roads,to dredge streams,to pave streets,to erect public buildings,to support our churches and to educate our children.

FRIDAY,--September 26,1913. The county singing will be held at the court house tomorrow and the singing people of the county and those interested in vocal music should at- tend and encourage these singings. A revival of interest in vocal music, so that good congregational singing would be heard in all the churches, would increase church attendance and aid the cause of religion. That is a great proposition of Capt.Russell Bellamy of Wilmington —to have the State put up $5,000,- 000 and the counties an equal amount for an exposition at the mouth of the Cape Fear,where the Federal govern- ment is to be induced to build a home for ex-Presidents and summer homes for Presidents,cabinet officers,etc. Just where the State and the coun- ties will find the $10,000,000 we don’t know,but the idea is a great one.cae We takeit that Mr,Devin of Gran- ville,who has been appointed to the Superior Court bench to succeed Judge Foushee,resigned,got his job without the endorsement of Dr.John- son of Charity and Children.It was Mr.Devin who introduced the resolu- tion of censure,in the Legislature last winter,when Dr.Johnsom had some- thing to say about “mules”and “gate posts.”Neither do we expect Dr. Johnson to go out of his way to en- dorse Mr.Stewart of Charlotte,who is a probable candidate for judge in the event Judge Duls retires,as Mr. Stewart submitted some remarks at the time’Mr.Devin introduced the resolution.ND The people who have been wonder- ing where all the money comes from that is invested in automobiles in North Carolina can find some light in the statement of Rev.A.D.String- field of the State Anti -Saloon League.Mr.Stringfield says that we are consuming only about three million gallons of liquor annually in the State against twenty million be- fore prohibition went into effect in 1908.This means,at $2 per gallon, says Mr.Stringfield,that we are sav- ing $34,000,000 which was formerly expended for liquor;that where we once spent $21 for alcoholic drinks we now spend $1.Some of this $34,- 000,000 saved has been put in auto- mobiles.See?Judge Frank Carer might mention that in his charge to the grand juries. It is a pity that there is a divided house in the freight rate matter. Gov.Craig thinks it best to accept the proposition and he is entirely hon- est in his conviction.He has in- vestigated the matter and is thor- oughly convinced that is the best thing to do.On the other hand the Just Freight Rate Association and leading citizens who have also studied the problem,disagree with the Gov- ernor.“The Governor will recommend to the Legislature that the proposi.« tion of the railroads be accepted. What the Legislature will do remains to be seen,but The Landmark is -in- “clined to believe tMat the siajority will come arourid to the,Governor's view.be Jandmark isn’t sufficiently info {6 ike sides.At present it can only take the position of Gov. Glenn,who,in addressing the Freight Rate Association,advised the Legis- lature to accept the proposition if it is all right and if it isn’t all right to reject it.That is safe advice. At Warrenton,Va.,Saturday eve- ning,Mr.Bryan finished his lecture course for the season.He says his total income from lectures this year is about $7,000,netting him some- thing like $6,500.He says he has used but seven whole week days for the lectures,as he frequently left Washington after office hours.Asked if he would continue to lecture while Secretary of State,Mr.Bryan said: “I expect to lecture whenever 1 deem it desirable or necessary to dosoandhavenotintheleastalteredtheplanswhichweremadeatthetimeIassumedthedutiesof.the of-fice.Criticism that has been direct-ed against my lecturing is no morebitterthanthecriticismIhaveun-dergone at other times and for otherthingsduringmyconnectionwithpolitics.A part of this criticism ismalicious,a part of it is partisan andapartofitisbaseduponmisinfor-mation.That which is malicious willansweritself,that which is,partisanwillbeacceptedassuch,that which isbaseduponmisinformationwillceasewhenthecriticsarebetterinform-ed.” The Landmark has.expressed the opinion that it is notproper for Mr. Bryan to keep up his lecture engage- ments while Secretary of State;it js of the same opinion still.But if Mr, Bryan wants to go on with it and Mr. Wilson is satisfied,The Landmark isn’t going to quarrel about it; The freshman class at the StateUniversityhaselectedOliverRandofJohnstoncountypresident.YoungRandisabrotherofIsaacRand,whowaskilledwhilebeinghazedatthe University a year ago.

When.Howe's show began to un- load at Spruce Pine,Mitchell county, Saturday the sheriff of Mitchell ap- peared and demanded $200 tax for the county and $100 rent for the owner of the lot.He finally reduc-ed the demand to $150 but the show refused,loaded up and departed, leaving a great crowd of dissatisfied people lambasting the sheriff. Mrs.Leon White,of Currituck county,under arrest on the charge of murdering her husband several weeks ago,was brought to Elizabeth City this week,before Judge Bragaw in habeas corpus proceedings to be ad- mitted to bail.By agreement of the solicitor bail was fixed at $5,000 and Mrs.White was released.Mrs.White is an old woman,the mother of 15 children,11 of whom are living.Her husband was found in bed at his home with a pistol ball in his head. He died without regaining conscious- ness and Mrs.White was suspected of the crime,as they were at “outs” over some property at the time. Suggesting Mr.Simmons For Presi- dent. Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. Should President Wilson decline a renomination for the presidency,Sen- ator F.M.Simmons of North Carolina will be urged to get in the race for the Democratic nomination in 1916, This statement was made today by one of the most influential men in President Wilson’s administration. This man says that men from all sec- tions of the country now look upon Mr.Simmons as the biggest and most influential man connected with theDemocraticadministration,and they believe he would prove a winner. It is not at all certain,however, that Mr.Wilson will construe the plank in the Democratic platform in such a way as to prevent him from again being a'candidate.Some of his close friends say that the President has never mentioned that part of the platform which pledges the Baltimore nominee to one term and that he be- lieves the paragraph was inserted for the protection and gratification ofWilliamJenningsBryan,who “is al- most sure to be a candidate to suc-ceed Wilson. The talk of running Mr.Simmons for the,presidency is heard in many quarters,byt for the most part it comes from men high up in the busi- ness and financial world.They havewatchedMr.Simmoms as a tariff re-former and Have come to the conclus-' ion that he is sane,safe and honest, and is second only to Mr.Wilson him-self in the’Pemocratic ranks, Income Tax Will Get Near 12,000 in Chicago.

Baltimore Sun. The old-fashioned well-diggers who depended on a rod to find where they could strike water are entitled to a smile of satisfaction when they learn that grave scientists are hold- ing an international conference onthesubject.Over in Europe the di- viners claim they are not only able to determine the presence of water many feet under ground,but can tell where gold is located.So,with char- acteristic German patience,the scientists are weighing the testimo ny and holding elaborate tests,while the Kaiser himself looks on with un- disguised interest.When their re- port in ten or twelve volumes is com- pleted,we may be able to tell more about it.The divining rod will eith- er rise to the dignity of a scientific instrument or be consigned to the class of the lightning rod and the madstone. (In the old days in this country the “divining rod”was a forked twig of a tree,preferably a peach tree,if we mistake not.When it was desir- ed to dig a well this affair was car- ried about the premises and when it turned in the hand,on that spot the well was dug.The divining rod has long been in the class with the madstone and lightning rod,but some ple,probably,still use it.—The ndmark.) Speaker Clark Knocks the Growlers. Speaker Clark took the floor in Congress Wednesday to answer the ipuerile Republican complaints that the Democrats transacted their busi- ness in caucus. “This continual how!about the cau- cus is the most idiotic thing that has ascended to heaven in the last gen- eration,”shouted the Speaker.“The country wants to know what Congress does,it does not care three whoops how it did it.We have revised the tariff and put through a bill changing the banking and currency system.If these measures are not good,we will be the ones to suffer,If they are good we will gain;but we did not propose to let you Republieans bring up other subjects on-the floor while they.were under consideration -and cr Oyen vith’Of membersandofthecountryfromthegreatis- sues involved.” Speaker Clark said he would ‘not answer Republican attacks by calling attention to the way former Speak- ers Reed and Cannon put through im- portant legislation.“That would beacaseofthepotcallingthekettle black,”said he.“A lot of you fel- lows have been talking too much for your own good anyhow,”concludedtheSpeaker. }Richmond County Wife,Murderer Pronounced Insane.

Asheville Gazette-News. Some impgrtant new regulationsandinstructions,which have been ap-pre by Secretary of the Treasury.G.McAdoo,have been issued byCommissionerofInternalRevenueW.H.Osborn,copies of which havebeenreceivedhere.What is consid-ered the most important of these new regulations is that pertaining tothepayofinformers,where the re- port leads to the seizure of an illicitdistilleryofnotlessthan50gallons capacity and the owner or operatoroftheplantisconvictedunderthein-ternal revenue laws.The following is quoted from the new instructions: “A fee of $50 will be paid to per-sons other than revenue officers or employes in the internal revenueserviceforinformationthatshall lead to the seizure of a distillery con- taining one or more stills of an < gregate capacity of not less thah gallons,the proprietor of which dis- tillery had not given the notice re- quired by law,and which informa-tion shall also lead to the conviction of the proprietor thereof or of any one operating such distillery.“This reward will be ~promptlypaiduponthecloseofacaseresult-ing in the seizure of a distillery of the class described and conviction of proprietor or operator.”In addition to this there are otherminorregulationsannouncedregard- ing the fees of informers.For @ copper still of not less than 35 gal- lons capacity,or for a still other than copper of 60 or more gallons capac- ity,a fee of $10 will be paid;for acopperstilloffrom25to35gallons capacity,or for a still other than copper of from 25 to 60 gallons ca-pacity,a fee of $7 will be paid;and for a still of any material of lessthan25gallonscapacity,a fee of $5 or less will be paid,the amount of the fee being left to the discretion of the revenue agent submitting the claim.Heretofore there have been only two fees allowed—one of $10 for a copper still of not less than 35 gal- lons capacity;and a fee of $5 or lessforanyothersofsmallercapacity. It is expected that the increase in fees and especially the offer of $50 for information leadingto the seizure of a still of 50 gallons or more ca- pacity and the resulting convictionoftheowneroroperatoroftheplant, will be the means of securing a great deal more information about such plants in the future.

Governor Thinks We Should Accept the Offer of the Railroads—-Not All We Deserve But We Cau't Get All Our Rights Now-——Ne Strings te It. Raleigh Dispatch,24th,to Observer. “{have examined the preposition as best I could and it is my opinion that it is such a proposition as thepeopleofNorthCarolinacanatford to accept,”declared Governor Craig this ternoon in addressing the meeting of the State Just Freight Rate Associatioh and the members of the General Assembly in the aud- iterium.There were possibly 1,800 people in the auditorium when President ‘ate of the Just Freight Rate Associa- tion called the mass-meeting to or- der.The Governor’s address was cordially received,in spite of the feel- ing of the Freight Rate Association members that the proposal should not be accepted.President Tate called the meetingtoorderat2.30.He briefly outlinedwhattheassociationhaddone,spoke of what it hopes to do and then pre- sented Governor Craig.The Govern- or said in part:“In the consideration of the ques- tion before us I have had but onepurpose,the welfare of the whole| State.My efforts have been limited by my ability. now,the sovereign people of State,interested in a great cause, to speak to you frankly and fully of the conclusion I have reached in an investigation of this matter.I covet your commendation,I covet your approval,but regardless of these |must speak the convictions that I have,or |would not be true to Noa of this Staty ‘or more than 25 years the State has been discriminated against in favor of Virginia.The railroads are responsible for the evils,but the people of North Carolina also for not enforcing their rights.North Caro- lina has paid tribute of millions of dollars,but this has not been the greatest evil.This evil is that in- dustries have been forced to go else- where to secure good treatment.The time will come when these ynjust Charlotte discriminations will end.Some-people |- heretofore have cried out against it, but they were not heard.In the last. General Assembly a contest was be- scun in earnest and has-been kept up in earnest.It is but just to say that the legislative freight rate commis- mission has taken hold intellirently.” He said Representative Justice ofGuilfordhebuponthewatchtower and’has done more than ary man in-the State.Mr.Craig.commended theeffortsoftheFustFreightRateAs-soviation under the leadershio ofPresidentF.N.Tate,and ‘said that the negotiations carried on by*thecorporationcommission,notably by the chairman,mnst have’bes)char- acterized by.devotion and patriotism single to the interest of the people of North Carolina. In reviewing the negotiations,the Governot showed careful study of the question,enumerating the things offered by the carriers.He discussed the concessions in general,giving the various reductions.He explaiped theshort-comings)of the first proposi- tion,which failed to give relief to border points and said that the prop- osition that the State should bind it- self not to retaliate with legislation was impogsible.“You cannot obtain justice under the present rate sys- tem,”said he.“You cannot obtain it under the laws that are upon the statute books of this nation.”He re- viewed the amendment to the lony and short haul clause,allowing the Inter-State Commerce Commission to say when this principle should be applied. Mr.Craig.believes the concessions are greater than the State could get from the Inter-State Commerc?(om- mission after years of litigation.Vhe concessions must amount to &2,000,- 000,it is estimated,but the greatest gain is in enabling the cities and towns in this State to meet compe-ti tion.“ihe question of acceptance is with the General Assembly.I want peace and I prefer war to an igno- riimiout peace,but this is ees that we can honestly accept.Ifdid.of think so I would not ome mend it,”asserted the Governu:. In order to get fair rates he de-clared himself ready to exert all the powers of the State.If the:ge micbgt were not beyond State juris’etion, there would be no negotiations be-Caure a statute would deal with theproblems.“1 want everybody to understand|that this proposition is submitted to me without any strings tied to it.Inowthatitiseasytosaythatthe2otighttohavemore,and I say I come before you! this| ought to have more;but’been we are dealing with a practical ques- tion.We cannot get our rights un- til the whole theory of the laws are overturned,”he declared further. As to the water points,he said he wished they would get those re- ductions,but that Wilmington and and the other water points already have the lowest rates,and in addi- tion have thousands of dollars collect-ed from all the people to promote their natural advantages.Wilming- ton has the power to secure lower rates for herself and the rest of the State. Representative E.J.Justice,Dr. H.Q.Alexandcr,president State Farmers’Union,.and Gov.Glenn also addressed the meeting.Mr.Jus- tice discussed the long and short haul clause of the inter-State commerce act and stated that the trouble had to be remedied in the national Con- gress.A boat line to Wilmington, he said,by way of puncturing any argument for that project,would tend to give Wilmington lower rates, while the carriers,after destroying the boat line,would recoup their losses from the interior of the State. It remained for Dr.Alexander, president of the State Farmers’Un- ion,to give the corporation commis- sion a roast,and the audience enjoy- ed it.The farmer-doctor-politician compared inter-State rates and de- lelared that somebody at the corpor- jation commission was not doing his j}duty,was not taking the public into _his confidence,and that a separate|commission should be appointed to handle freight rates.He was vocif- erously applauded. Former Governor Glenn appealed to the members of the Legislature, ito whom he addressed most of his remarks,not to do anything in a spirit of retaliation,but suggested that they might cut passenger fares to two cents a mile.He declared that two wrongs do not make a right,and insisted that the proposition as submitted and analyzed by Governor Craig ought to be accepted or reject- ed on its merits,and asked the mem- bers of the Legislature to study it carefully,accept it,if it in their opin- ion is just,or to reject it if it does not meet the demands of the State. NO,SAY FREIGHT RATE FOLKS. Freight Rate Association Oppose -Acceptance of Proposition—Cor- poration Commission Criticised. Raleigh Dispatch,24th,to Charlotte Observer.The State Just Freight Rate As- sociation —showed itself as un- ent i to accepting the proposal of the railroads in regard to freight rate reduction,member after member addressing the mass-meeting and urging the standing firm of the State authorities in the determina- tion to get complete justice.Many also expressed themselves asteeinginfavorofa.State railroad commission to take the place of.the corppration commission,an some asserted that i*latter should be abolished.;aughinghouse went so far as to declare:that in 20 years the corporation commission had been of no service:to the people of NorthCarolina. In addressing the Just Freight Rate Association tonight in a meeting in the Representatives’Hall,at which legislators were present by special invitation,Cameron Morrison of Charlotte declared that much as he regretted to take issue with a friend, he believed Governor Craig wrong in his adyocacy of adoption of the pro- posal of the railroad companies for settlement of freight discrimination. He insisted that there is much that ean be done without entering the realm of retaliation.He advocated reduction of passenger.fares to two cents a mile,reduction of intra-State rates to such a basis.as will compen- sate North Carolina shippers for the discrimination made against them in inter-State rates,and declar- led for the creation of a separate jrailroad rate commission to carry on |the contest with the railroads for justice to.North Carolina in rates,\freight and passenger. |Mr.Mclver of New Berne endors- led what Mr.Morrison said.Mr.Mc- \Cormick of Wilmington said the |pending proposition was undesirable; that the railroads had yielded sever-al points and would yield more if the\fight is kept up.re also advocated |a separate railroad commission.Mr. Laughinghouse of Pitt said the cor- |poration commission had been of no benefit and if a new commission is jestablished the present.one shouldibeabolished.|President Tate followed with a |declaration that he believed the pres-ent Legislature safely favorable to|supporting the views of the Just Freight Rate Association,but declar-ed that if the work of the Legisla- ture at this special session proved the contrary he would join in seeing |to it that men were sent here whowouldrepresenttheviewsandwish-es of the folks at home,He said themembershipoftheAssemblycanvassedrecentlyatthehomes of the members and his information was that the big majority were stand-ing for the interests of the shippersandtheJustFreightRateAssotia- tion.Frank Gough of Lumberton favor- ed standing for complete justice and a separate rate commission.Ex-Speaker Dowd of Mecklenburg op- posed accepting the proposition and favored a separate rate commission. J.C.Foster,frieght rate expert of Greensboro,urged that the proposal from the railroads should be adopt- ed.He said rate reforms must come by piecemeal,that it would take anewrailroadratecommissiontwo} years to find gut what it wanted or'| could undertake to do and that the| proposal the railroads have offered| is a good business proposition and| should by all means be accepted.} The resolutions of the afternoon de- claring against accepting the propos-| al and for the creation of the sep-| arate railroad rate commission,were| reaffirmed. FUTURETHECOTTON TAX. Conference Committee Can't Agree! on This Feature of the Tariff | Bill—Other Agreements. Washington Dispatch,24th.| The tariff bill conferees today| came to a final disagreement over) the proposed tax on trades in cotton|futures.It was found impossible to| agree either on the Clarke amend-| ment,adopted by the Senate,or the|oo known as the Smith-Le-| ver Burleson plan.“After a confer-| ence at the ite House,participat-|ed in by President Wilson,Senator|Simmons and Representative Under-| wood,and a tong debate in the con-| fcrence committee,it was decided to} report a disagreement to both houses of Congress. The conference report on the rest of the tariff bill will be harmonious when the measure gets back to the Senate and House.It will be accom panied by a report that no agreement, could be reached on the —so-called Clarke amendment imposing a tax of 50 cents a bale on cotton sold for future delivery but not delivered.The compromise would compel all contracts for future delivery to specify government grades and would compel deliveries of cotton to be at that grade or close to it,the difference to be settled at the vailing commercial prices. As a result of the conference with President Wilson the committee final- ly settled the foreign policies involv- ed in thé tariff bill.The most im-portant developments were: Agreement on the 5 per cent taxrebateongoodsbrought.in Ameri-can-owned ships with a.provision that it shoyld not affect countries)with which the United States has)treaties ere such’ee pre- na ,Defeat of the “petaliavory tariff.provisions of the Senate bill,thatwouldauthorizethePresidenttoas- seas extra tariff duties on certain ar-ticles,from countries discriminating against the United States.Defeat of the anti-child laborprovisionthatwouldhave.exciuded foreign goods made by child labor.The House provision excluding con- vict-made gooda was retained Mother of Kighteen Children. “T am the mother of-eighteen childrenandhayethepraiseofdoingmoreworkthananyyoungwomaninmytown,”writes Mrs.Cc.J.Martin,Boone Mill,Va.“I sufferedforfiveyearswithstomachtroubleandcould:not eat as much as a biseult without suffer-ing.I have taken three bottles of Chamber-Hin's Tablets and am now a well woman andweigh168pounds.I can eat anything Iwahtto,and as much as I want and feel bet-ter than I have at any time in ten years.I refer to any one in Boone Mill or vicinityandtheywillvouchforwhatIaay."”Cham-berlain’s Tablets are for sale od all dealers. !SBULBS2 WANTED—Two mentosell and eollest for usinRowanand.Iredell counties.This isthebestsellingseason.contract fortherightman.SINGER SEWING MA- CHINE CO,Salisbury,N.C.

The Offer of the Railroads and theConditionsonWhichItWouldBeAccepted—From the Local View- point. Messrs.W.B.Gibson,Eugene Mor- rison and W.L.Gilbert attended the meeting of the Just Freight Rate As- sociation in Raleigh last week as dele- gates from the local association.Speaking of the result of the meet-ing and the Governor’s position,Mr.Gilbert,who is a former railrood manandwellinformedonrates,expressedtheopinionthatGov,Craig could nothavedoneotherwisethanrecommend the acceptance of the railroad’s offer,as all the rate experts advised ac- ceptance.At the same time Mr. Gilbert says the Freight Rate Asso-ciation’s action was proper,for amostimportantpartof‘the Freight Rate Association’s contention is forarailroadcommission,to be appoint- ed by the Governor and to hold office at his pleasure.This railroad com- mission would be separate and dis- tinct from the corporation commis- sion and would devote its time to adjusting freight rates within the State.The torporation commission has much business otherwise cand the public does not think this commis- sion can give—or at least it does not give—-proper attention to railroad rates.Hence the demand for a sepa- rate commission.The idea is that if the offer of the railroads is divested of all strings it should be accepted.Mr.Gilbert thinks the rates from the West of- fered are much lower than could be obtained from the Inter-State Com- merce Commission.The reduction inrates,he says,will be a big saving to Statesville.While it is impossibletoestimatetheactualsavinghe thinks it would be $25 a day or more.For instance on a car of grain from Louisville the saving would be $24.From New York,however,there is no concession.The railroads sim- ply agree that the rate shall not exceed the added local rate,which it should have been all along. If the State is allowed to accept the concession of the railroads where they are deemed reasonable,without being prohibited from continuing to try to get concessions where none are granted,then the concessions should be accepted.But if the State must be tied up and stopped from making any further effort,then thepropositionshouldnotbeaccepted, for the fight has just begin.The Just Freight Rate Association willcontinuethefighttogetmoreequitableinter-State rates where con- cessions have not been granted.andespaciallytogetaseparaterailroad commission that will give its atten- tion to intra-State rates. Southern Power Co.’and Lookout Shoals. Mr.W.S.Lee of Charlotte,of the Southern Power Company,was in town Friday and made a trip to Look- out Shoals,where the company.is making investigations with a view to developing the property.Mr.Lee had no statement to make for publication, except that he was delighted with the Iredell roads.He considers the sand clay roads the best roads. It is known,however,that the Southern Power Co.while anxious to develop Lookout Shoals,has been held up -by what the company consid- ers excessive prices for lands need- ed for the work.Some lard has been bought,but whether the company has acquired or can acquire at what it considers.a fii,price,sufficient landdevelopmentisNetgoc4Known...As an imstance of the valueplacedonlandabéutLookout Shoals,it is understood that Dr.J. H.Yount of Newton has 18 acres for which he asks the company $75,000. Dr.Yount,it is said,tells the com- pany that the land is worth a half million to it but he is willing to let them have it for $75,000. The Singers at the CourtHouse Sat- urday. The usual large crowd attended the county singing at the court house Saturday,but only two organized classes participated in the event. The forenoon session was given to general singing by the ontire andi- ence,with the organized classes acting as a choir,and in the after- noon there was a contest between the two classes—the Pisgah class ledbyMr.S.C.Johnson and the Mid- way class led by Mr.Leon Sides.ThejudgesdecidedinfavorofthePisgah class.Other features of the day wereanaddressonmusicbyMayorL.C.Caldwell and special selections by theMcLainquartetteofAlexandercoun- ty.Mayor,Caldwell urged the young people to give more attention to music and organize more classes to participate in the next singing.Mr.S.C.Johnson,who is president of the county singing association,an- nounced that another singing wouldbeheldinMayandrequestedthat more classes train for the occasion.

Senator Thompson Introduces Bill— Wasting Time on Unimportant and Local Measures. The Senate Saturday spent much time debating a bill to make it a mis- demeanor for one not in the army or navy or State militia to wear a dis- tinctive part of the uniform,a matter not of general importance or concern. Bills were introduced to require the whole time of each member of the corporation commission and to require the.Attorney General to reside in Ral- eigh during his term of office,to abolish the office of assistant Attor- ney General and to inerease the sal- ary of the Attorney General,who shall devote his entire time to the work,to $4,000;to make Good Roads Days,November 5 and 6,legal holi- days.Senator Thompson introduced a bill to allow mene to refund certain bonded indebtedness. The House will take up the consti- tutional amendments today.There was a flood of local bills in bothhouses. It is stated that Mr.Justice has prepared a bill designed to apply the Minnesota scale of intra-State rates in North Carolina,with a view to getting sweeping reductions in intra- State rates;that the measure has been submitted to the Committee on ‘corporations,the president of the Just Freight Rate Association and rate experts,all of whom approved it. The Senate and House committees on constitutional amendments gave a hearing yesterday on the amend- ment which provides that the reading of the Bible in the public schools shall not be prohibited and voted to report it unfavorably. Mr.Justice presented the answer of the railroads as to freight rates.They think the rates can be put into effect in 60 days and the State is not pro- hibited in any way from pursuing thematterfurther. Reported Attempt at Lynching De- nied. The Charlotte Observer of Satur- day contained a report that a mob was gathering Friday night to lynch Geo.5S.Nance,who recently murder- ed his wife at Hamlet and was de-clared insane;that the sheriff heard of it and took Nance in an automé- bile to Hoffman,where a train for Raleigh was caught,Nance beingcarriedtoRaleighandplacedinthe insane department of the State pris- on, in-*papers «citizen of Hamlet and the mayor of Rocking- ham vigorously deny that there was any danger of a lynching or any possibility of one.They admit that the sheriff took Nance to Hoffman to eatch a train for Raleigh and that this move was to avoid carrying the prisoner through Hamlet,the scene of his crime,but say this was merely a precaution.They deny’that any move looking to a lynching was underway.

The recent rains have put the Yad- kin roads in very bad shape for heavy hauling and in very unpleasant shape for any kind of travel.It does seem to us that the people of Yadkin coun- ty could see that they are paying more tax for bad roads than.they would have to pay for good ones,and we still have the bad roads,too.The editor recently’made an automobile trip over some of the Iredell county roads,and now we see why our friendMr,Clark,of The Laidmark,is.all7apentneaeane_*logeclayroadsofIredellcounty.They are paying tax for these roads ‘and are savitiy ney,as compared tp thergoftraveling-over the olf ditroads.

THE LANDMARK TUESDAY,--September.30,1913. COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS Justice seems to be about as slow in Italy as in this country.\Porter Charlton,an American,killed his American wife in Italy,escaped to this country and was arrested.Charl- ton’s father had some money and in- fluence and for three years he fought in the courts the attempt to take his son to Italy for trial.The United States Supreme Court decided that Charlton must go to Italy for trial and he was taken there a couple of months ago.There have been some preliminaries in his case and now it is announced that the trial will begin next February.No hurry: “Shall the rest of the State go without bread because the east can- not have cake?”asks the Greensboro News,referring to the kicks against the freight rate adjustment that come from Wilmington,Fayetteville and other water points.We should say not.The Landmark is moved by no sectional prejudice,but it is con- strained to say that the attitude of Wilmmeton and other similar points in this matter is decidedly selfish. Wilmington,Fayetteville,etc.,have had all along much lower rates than the‘balance of the State;and yet be- cause it is now proposed to give the balance of the State lower rates without including these points in the reduction,their people would destroy the whole*business rather than per- mit it.Whatever may be said of the freight rate proposition,the attitude ef the Wilmington and Fayetteville people impresses us decidedly unfa-vorably. The Washington correspondents had practically eliminated Glenn from the senatorial race,but the Charlotte @bserver says that Charlotte men who talkéd with the Governor in Raleigh last week are convinced that he will be a candidate for the Senate.Talking with the Charlotte men,Gov.quot- ed as saying: “These rumors (that he would receiveaFedéralappointment)havebeengroundless,and that relative totheprobabilityofmygoingontheInter-State)Commerce Commi sion,which recently became general,|suspect has something to do with the Gov. Glenn is possibility of my entering the racefortheUnitedStatesSenate.Gov ernor Craig called attention ‘in his address to the business people Wed- nesday,that one amendment to a bill before Congress has resulted in a loss of $95,000,000 to the State of North Carolina in excessive freight rates over which the Inter State Commerce Commission would have jurisdiction had the amendment not been adopted,Now I am of the opin- jon that this amendment should not have reccived the vote of some of the servants of the people of North Car- olina and would like to see that amendment to this uct repealed “I have not announced whether or not I will be a candidate for United States Senate.I deem it too early to make suchan announcement But I dearly love a scrap,as is well known,and should I decide to make the race I intend to make it with the same vigor and earnestness -.which has characterized my other public activ- ities.” That remark the @00 is a direct reference to Senator Overman;and the that fray .a The people of the State have heen the about $95,000, remarks of Gov he pret next summer. Glenn indicate is ready for the ting a outrageously _discriminated wrain«inthe ~-**-~-*freight.rates and the meeting at Raleigh shows thattheyhavebeetgoadedtothepoint of_desperation,What has the cor- poration commission been doing all ‘these years while this discrimina- tion has been going on,that until| recently no progress had been made to stop it?—Concord Tribune. The corporation commission,belov- ed,has been doing just what our leg- islators and other public men hava! been doing all these years— the line of wrongs existed, resistance, there was some talk and a few people like E.J.Justice, Judge Clark and others—called rad- icals and extremists—called attention to the evil.They were called dem- agogues.The majority of our public men kept silent or counseled peace, Don’t agitate,they said,it will hurt By and by the people took hold and when the State was becoming aroused to the iniquity of it all,some of our Politicians got busy.They realized that something had to be done and it was done.‘The Landmark has forwearscontendedthattheso-called extremists,the radicals and the ag- itators,if you please,are our mostwsefulcitizens.The masses are hard to move.They endure the yravest wrengs for years without protestand enly the continued,persistent ‘agita- tion by the so-called radicals will arouse them.Often the agitators are extreme.But they have to be ex- treme to get the masses moved up te amything like the proper position. It is-a lamentable fact,that when any great work is to be effected,the masses,aroused by a few lenders, must do it.Our public men rare- lg ever set the pace.They are al-ways afraid an upturning might get® least on eut ef office. oa -following| The| CONSIDERING AMENDMENTS. Legislative:Commission at Work onConstitutionalAmendments.-—Mr.Justice to Report on the FreightRateAgreement-—-Many Local BillsIntroduced. Freight rates furnishedan.all-ab- sorbing topic before both houses oftheGeneralAssemblyFriday.IntheHouseRepresentative,Justice came to the fore with two resolutions, one of which asks Congress to require the immediate uniform.classification of freights;the other requests an in- vestigation through committees of Congress into the reasons why the inter-State commerce law has been so unsatisfactorily administered,and therepealofthefourthsectionofthat law,so that the Inter-State Com- merce Commission;may not have the power to abrogate the law in regard to the long and short-haul clause. Representative Porter of Forsyth then introduced a resolution authoriz- ing Mr.Justice,as cheirman of the legislative freight rate commission, to confer with representatives of the railroads in an effort to clear up alleged ambiguities in their proposi- tion for a settlement of the rate question,Mr.Justice to report yester- day and especially to ascertain how soon the reduced rates will go into effect,if the carriers’proposal is ac- cepted, Representative:Williams of Bun- combe introduced the constitutional amendments from tne amendment commission in the nature of a bill, which was referred to the committee on constitutional amendments. The Senate discussed at some length the status of the legislative commission on constitutional amend- ments and the standing the report of the commission had in the Senate,the conclusion being reached that the commission’s work is finished and that the regular committee on con- stitutional amendments has now the right to consider the various propos- als to amend the constitution and any others that may be offered,all to take their regular course as new bills. Senators Pharr,Barnes,Mason, Ivie and Thorne dischssed the matter at length.Senator Thorne said it had been charged that the commission had met all over the State,from More- head to Blowing Rock,to get out of the reach of|the peopte,but tlat the Senate did not believe this.Senator Ivie took him to task for repeating such a charge when he knew it was false. The Senate and House committees on constitutional amendments agreed to hold a joint meeting yesterday af- ternoon for a hearing as to the pro- posed amendment regarding read- ing the Bible in the schools.The House committee agreed to report fa- vorably all the amenament proposals recommended by the commission ex- cept this one. he Senate committee on constitu- tional amendments held a lengthy session with only nine of 16 members present and indulged in spirited dis- cussions of a number of the sections. The committee passed éver the initia- tive and referendum section for future discussion,artiended proposal No.4 as to pay of legislators by makingthepay$6 and $8,instead of $8 and $10 a day,and approved proposal No.6,designed to relicve the Gener- al Assembly of local,private and special legislation.Section six,fix- ing the terms of office of the Govern- or and State officers to begin “on the second Wednesday after the _firat viduals subscribed $3,000 to build the roadQuite recently some of the busi ness men of Statesville laid t)if lfairs of this road before Governor Craig and council of State.As a re- sult they were assured that not only would the present force of convicts remain on the road,but that i tional aid would be given by th in the direction of facilitating s I pete r part not onl ta keep th Monday in January,”was adopted.

TUESDAY,--September 30,1913. A dispatch from Putnam,Conn., says “eastern Connecticut cotton and woolen mills are suffering from the greatest scarcity of -skilled labor that has been experienced in the history of this section.Factories have more business than can be turned out for several months to come.”Exactly; and a law reducing the tariff is all but on the statute books,Protec- tionists all over the country—in the South and right here in North Car- olina,as well as in the North—pre- dicted that the téxtile industry would be ruined by the passage of the tar- iff bill.Stories like the above are coming from all over the country and it would seem that such a revival in the mill industry as has not been known since 1907 is imminent. Dr.Johnson of Charity and Chil- dren,always rises to the occasion, as The Landmark ‘has’remarked aforetime.This paper suggested,in a lighter vein,in its last issue,that Mr.Devin of Granville was probably appointed Superior Court judge with- out the endorsement of Dr.Johnson, seeing that it was Mr.Devin who in- troduced ‘in the Legislature the reso- Jution censuring the doctor for com- paring the legislators to “mules”and “gate posts.”And before The Land- mark containing that paragraph was off the press Dr.Johnson’s Charity and Children,delayed a day in reach- ing this office,came to hand with the following: Gov.Craig has appointed Mr.W. A.Devin of Oxford to the place ontheSuperiorCourtbenchmadeva- cant by the resignation ‘of Judge Foushee.The appointment was an excellent one.Mr.Devin is a strong lawyer and a high-toned Christian gentleman. Dogged if he hasn’t put coals of fire on Devin’s head. The Landmark has remarked afore- time that if the North Carolina Leg- islature was to sit six days in the week,52 weeks in the year,members would be introducing local bills up to the day of adjournment.The Leg- islature was in session 60 days last winter and the usual flood of local legislation was at high tide.Prior to the meeting of the extra session last week an effort had been made to create a sentiment to shut out this feature.But not so.As soon as the session opened local bills began to pour in and some State-wide measures that are unimportant have been up and discussed as seriously as if they were worth while.There is a provision in the rules that local bills can’t be introduced after Octo- ber ist,which is tomorrow,but the rules are elastic and there is little doubt that the loca]measures will be crowding in to the end.The only sat- isfaction in the situation,as The Landmark.sees it,is that this condi- tion may strengthen the’sentiment for the proposed constitutional amendment designed te stop the Leg- islature from having to do the busi- county commissioners.or ofher of-*.$x-=>f proposition made by the railroads seems to be about this:That the proposition be accepted,when stripe ped of all ambiguities,as to the in- ter-State rates where it is that proper concessions have made.But that the State must be left free to exercise its power as ta any other rates not included in the agreement.It seoms to be conceded that where concessions are made they are in the main such as-should be ac- cepted.But the Legislature should accept nothing that will prevent an attempt to secure concessions where none are granted or where they are insufficient.That seems to be a sen- sible The State should believed been conclusion, wm Eee Rua laborers employed at.the regular ses- sion of the Legislature are on the job at the extra session.We haven’t seen “1a mention of them in the newspapers, but a Legislature wouldn’tbe a Logis- lature unless the laborers weye on the 69}payroll;and the Legislature will not come up to precedent unless it votes them extra pay at the end of the session. Alcohol is bad for a man;opium is worse;hasheesh and chloral are worse than either opium or alcohol,but John Barleycorn,the pipe and the hypodermic all fade into insig- nificance beside the “joy powder,” the most monstrous drug of them all, cocaine.Alcohol,opium and the rest destroy the physica!and_finally the intellectual man;cocaine destroys themoralman,The commoner droge poison the body;cocaine poisons the soul,If,as some maintain,the man who sells the first four is guilty of destroying indirectly the lives of his fellows,and therefore is to be classi-fied in the same category with mur- derers,the coke-dealer is guilty of destroying indirectly their souls,and is therefore to.be classed with no earthly criminal—his chief is Apol- lyon,angel of the bottomléss pit,and his fellows are the bearers of the. flesh-fork.—Greensboro News. The law which prohibits the sell- ing of cocaine except on the prescrip- tion of a physician for medical pur- poses is probably the most stringent law on the statute books,and it was made so because cocaine is probably the most dangerous of all drugs.It crazes its victims so that they are more dangerous than a maniac while under its-influence.This being so The Landmark believes that no pun- ishment short of death is too severe for those who sell this drug except as prescribed by law;and in case of death or injury as a result of the il- legal sale we believe the seller should be held responsible and pun- ished accordingly. The Students at the University. An eXamination of the records for this year at the University shows that of the 100 counties in the State,88 are represented in the stu- dent body.Mecklenburg county heads the list with 41.students, Wake,Guilford ahd Orange are tied for second place,each having 34. Wayne county takes third place with 33 men.The 12 counties not repre- sented are:Avery,Brunswick,Clay, Currituck,Dare,Graham,Mitchell, Polk,Rutherford,Stokes,Swain and Transylvania,while each of the following heve one _representative q each:Bladen,Cherokee,Gates, Greene,Jones,Moore and Watauga. Of the 15 States represented at the University,not counting North Car- olina,South Carolina takes first place with 14 men,and Florida comes second with ten students.Two coun- tries of Asia—Persia and China— have one representative each. Germans Believe Divining Rod is Do- ing Great Work. Halle,Germany,Dispatch. The Congress of Scientists which has been meeting here to test the efficacy of the divining rod in dis- covering underground springs of wa- ter and mineral deposits,has decided to organize an international associa- tion.So many successful _experi- ments were reported to the congress that the executive committee was in- creased by the addition of four mem- bers in the expectation of increased activities in the future. _Tests conducted under the super- vision of the congress by divining rod experts resulted in the location of three potash veins,coal deposits and walter courses.One expertfoundaleak,in the cif*water matn.The gongress received authenticatedreportsthatsouthwestAfricanfarm- ers are finding water regularly by means of the divining rod.~ To Erect Stone at Wilkesbore to Mark ‘Reape”PrsteWilkesboroPatriot.

The Legislature,Urged to Accept theOfferoftheRailroads. Following is the message of Gov. Craig,sent to the Legislature last Thursday:I transmit ‘to you herewith the report cf the corporation commis- sion of negotiations for adjustment of inter-State freight rates made on August 5;1913,with an amend- ment made on September 19,1923.If the proposals for reduction of transportation charges contained \inthisreportbeaccepted,the reduced rates are to go into effect without delay,and the acceptance by theStateoftheproposals:therein con-tained’will be a settlement of ail penans differences between thetateof.North Carolina and therailwaysinrespecttoratesonin-ter-State traffic therein adjusted,for a period of at least two years from the time of such acceptance.I refer this report with “the ‘pro- posals to the representatives of the people,that they may determine what ‘shall be done.The carriers make definite proposals in substanceaSfollows:1.Frem northern and eastern ter- rail rates on through freight shall in no case exceed com- binations of local rates:This.is not a concession,but an agreement to comply with the law,which ought never to have been violated,but we would obtain this benefit without re- sort to the courts.2,From the Buffalo -Pittsburg territory substantial.reductions on all important iron and steel commodi- ties. 3.From western territory tions to the zones of the State spe- cifically set out in the report.This western territory embraces all points east of the Buffalo -Pittsburg zone, north of the Ohio river,and west of the Mississippi river.4.From all furniture points in the State to the Far West,rates on fur- niture equal to the rates now in force from the Virginia cities,and to the territory east of the Rocky mountains,a reduction of $12 percar load on mixed furniture. 5.Commodity rates on inbound freight to the city of Asheville and related territory set out on pages 25 and 26 of the report of the corpora- tion commission,and on pages 10 and 11 of the amendment. In addition ‘to the above uncondi- tional proposals,the carriers agreed to further reduce rates from north- ern and eastern territory,and from the Buffalo -Pittsburg zone,on con- dition that they secure the consent of their northern and eastern con- nections. I have devoted to this question most earnest thought.I have had the assistance and co-operation of experts in freight rates,and have taken counsel with the legislative freight rate commission and with of- ificers and members of the Jnst Freight Rate Association,with the corporation commission and with the council of State:It is my duty un- der the constitution to express to you| my views and conclusion.In the |diacharge of this duty I recommend | ithat the proposals as above set out |be accepted. In the original proposition |were conditions that made jance impossible.These have ‘eliminated and the proposition jbeen amended to the jtage of the State.As jt now stands i believe that it makes a reducti on| jreasonable under the present rat jsystem.I know that it makes a sub-| |stantial reduction,In my opinionit | lis a fair compliance in good faith |lwith the understanding between rep- jrésentatives of the State and repre |sentatives of the carriers in confer jence at Raleigi on February 26,1915 The acceptance of these proposals |would save to our people a vast |amount of money,and*enable net |cities and towns of North Carolir Ito compete on equal terms with the |cities of other States.|The saving in freight,rates would|berm,—---*-z—*>gain bat.the great-| er consideration ws .the opportunity for business that lower rates ‘would! offer.°-Our?prosperity .would.in- érease and out industries be en- couraged to the exteritof the reduc-|tion on the cost of transportation.| The proposed reductions are in|my opinion as much or more thanwecouldsegureunderthepresent system and construction of the law|through the Inter-State CommerceCommission,even by long and expen- sive litigation.Under the prop-osition we would secure the benefits|lof the reduction with little expense,| and as soon as the rates could be| put into effect. Shall we accept these proposals and save to the State a vast sum ofmoney,and vouchsafe to her indus- tries increasing prosperity,without compromising the dignity of the State and without yielding our righttoproceedforanyfurtherreduc- tions in rates not provided for in the adjustment?or shall we reject them and make war upon the carriers to compel greater reductions?By the acceptance there are no limitations, expressed or implied,upon the State.Within her,jurisdiction the State will exercise her sovereign power accord-ing to the dictates of her own con-science in the making and the ad-ministration of Jaw.No one can bar-ter away.this right if he would. I want peace,but I prefer war toanignominiouspeace.I réally want peace,and peace on the terms pro- posed is an honorable peace.I fully realize that we are not getting alltowhichweareentitled,but it isthuch.It is a “ove in the right di-rection of complete justice.If the issue with the railroadswerewithinthejurisdictionoftheState,justice would be decreed bystatuteandenforced.But the poweroftheStatecannotdirectlycontrolthismatter.We contend under disad- vantages,against a long -establish- ed system tecognized by Federal statute and authority.The existing rate.structure has reduc- there | accept beer Fas | “{tition between railroads;the jcentral part of |with Mr. fed to build to decided ad | |Statesville,N.C, been develo by the arbitrary willofthecarriers;it has resulted in all manner of extortion and injustice;itmustberevised:There is no coipeoplecanexpectno-protection from com-petition;,the law must fix and regu- late rates.The rate for any point should be determined by the reja- tive cost of the haul.This axiomat- ic principle can be established only in the Federal jurisdiction;not untilitbeestablishedcanwehavecom-plete relief from the injustice underwhichwehavelongsuffered,The present method of fixing rates by the arbitrary power of the rail-roads has existed from the begin- ning of railroad transportation, The people have submitted because they did not know.Like the protee- tive tariff,it has grown insiduously until oppressed by accumulating in- justite,the people have awakenedforaction.‘We ¢annot hope to up-set and destroy the whole evil at one stroke.We just persevere onthelinelaiddownbyPresidentWil-son in his discussion of the tariff.We have begun and will not stop.We have put our hands.to the plow, and will not look’back.LOCKE CRAIG,Governor,., Legislative Freight Rate Commission Would Accept on Condition. Hon.E.J.Justice,of the legislative freight -rate~commission,~has~madepublicthereportofthecommission to Governor Craig;.submitted to the Governor some days ago,recommend-ing the acceptance of the latest pro-posal of the railroad companies for the settlement of inter-State rate dif- porenay with North Carolina ship- eTs. ;The report sets out that the aggre- gate amount that would be saved to the shippers of the State through the acceptance of the proposal is so great that it ought not be hastily or incon- siderately rejected.And if features that make roads to put into effect certain con- cessions or not after the Legislature adjourns were removed,the proposi- tion would be acceptable pending the. settlement of the principle with refer- ence to long and short hauls,which might result in greater reductipn,or at least which might remove arbi- trary discrimination and extortion. The report points out that the State’s policy as laid down at the last regu- lar session of the Legislature is that there shall be no greater charge for a short haul than for a long,the short haul being included in the long and both hauls being in the same direc- tion,where freight hauled is of like character. After a lengthy review of the pro- pr sal and its ambiguities,the conclus- ion is reached that with these remov-~- ed and the reduced rates to be in ef- fect not later than 60 days,the Legis- lature could Well afford to accept it with no restriction as to seeking re- lief from other excessive rates not treated in the proposal.‘‘The bene- fits received by the State will be in- adequate,”says the report,“but the aggregate amount of the reduction will be substantial,and the condition that the State will not disturb par- ticular rates for two years is not se rious or objectionable as to justify the declination of the proposal.” It is announced from Washington that Surgeon Lumsden,of the public health service,will go to Durham Oc- |tober 2 to investigate pellagra in thetheStateandwhile Lumsden will confer W.Watts about the Mr.Watts has propos- Watts hospital,Dur- the treatment of pellagra. in Durham Dr Geo addition that ham,for ~ECZEMA FOR20 YEARS.

It Baffles Investigators and Contin-ues to Astonish the Natives. Linville Falls Dispatch to Charlotte Observer.

With punctual regularity the lightrisesinasoutheasterlydirection from the point of observation,just over the lower slope of Brown moun- tain,first about 7.30 p.m.,againabout20or30minuteslaterandagainat10o’clock.It looks much like a toy fire balloon,a distinct ball,with no “atmosphere”about it,and as nearly as the average observer can measure it,about the size of the toy balloon. It is much smaller than the full moon,“much larger than any star and very red.It rises in the far dis- tance,from beyond Brown moun- tain,which is about six miles from Rattlesnake Knob,and after going up a short distance,wavers and goes out in less than one minute.The ob- server has to watch the sky closely at the right time,or he will miss it. It does not always appear in exactly the same place,but varies what must amount in the distance to several miles.The light is visible at all seasons,so Mr.Anderson Loven,an old and reliable resident,testifies.During the winter it appears far off to the south of its usual suntmer po- BqualRightstoAll!

Some have declared that it was some practical joker sending up a light to mystify people,but it would hardly be kept up for -several years,nor would it appear miles apart within a few minutes.,There seems to be no doubt that the light rises from some point in the wide,level country be- tween Brown mountain and the South mountains,a distance of about 142 miles,though it is possible that it rises a still greater distance.
