Money ScatteredAboutFoundatThreePlaces.

It was evident that the money had been thrown into these yards by somebody who,for reasons best known to himself,wanted to get rid of it.A short time before the mon- ey was found Mr.Fred.Conger lost$70.in.bills.Whether the money was lost on the street or taken from his house,Mr.Conger doesn’t know.While the money found doesn’t quite total Mr.Conger’s loss,it is pbdssi-ble that it is his money. of Barium Archdeacon Wm H.Hardin will hold services at Trinity Episcopal church Sunday morning at 11 o’clock.Rey.A.S.Caldwell of Barium willfill_Rev.W.M.Walsh’s pulpit atFront.Street Presbyterian churchSundaymorningandatBeriumSun-day afternoon.Mr.Walsh will preach at Davidson Sunday.

All this he said,according to the court stenographer’s notes,whichbothAshevillepaperspublished.But when Lange had cooled he conclud-ed he didn’t say it;and he hurried-ly wrote a card to the papers deny- ing that he had said anything to re-flect on Judge Carter and saying ifhehadsaidanythinghewassorry:In short he wrote a most abject apology.In common parlance,he not only “ate dirt out said it was”Judge Carter has said noth- »and it’s probably just as well.But the indications are that he had@mightygoodcaseforcivilandcrimina)libel and it was probably a realization of this that made Langehastentosayheneversaiditandifhedidhewassorry. *. ** Two Wake county convict guardswhohadwhippedaconvictwerecon- victed in Wake Superior Court,Judge Cooke hoiding that their act‘was unlawful.The case was appeal-ed and the Supreme Court:sustainedJudgeCooke.The impression from the decision was that whipping con-victs is unlawful.The court may sohold,but it did not go that far in this decision,as the following ex-tract from the opinion of Judge Hokeshows: “These statutes clearly ‘contem- plate that the control and discipline of convicts,and particularly in ref- erence to their punishment,corpor-al or other,‘shall be pursuant to rules formally made and publishedbytheboardofcountycommission- ers,or their duly authorized agents,and I would not hesitate to hold that these rules should be humane,reas- onably designed to affect the well-or- dered governance of-convicts,.and that in their prominent.features they should be made known beforehand to each and every prisoner that they may live and.act with knowledge of the penalties attendant on disobedi-ence. “In applying such a standard I-am *not prepared to say that never,un- der any circumstances,is corporeal punishment permissible or that care- fully prepared rules looking:to such result,are,in all instances,unlaw- fal,but the question is not present- ed on this appeal,for there is noprooforsuggestionthattherewereanyrulesorregulationsofanykindwhichauthorizedthepunishmentin-_flicted in the present ease.I am ofopinion,therefore,that the acts ofdefendantswerewithoutwarrantofJawandthattheyhavebeenprop-erly convicted.” It has been a custom in North Car- olina to discipline convicts by inflict-ing corporal punishment,and.whileitwasgenerallyunderstoodthat there was “no law for it”the custom Was general in the State prison aswellasinthecountyconvictcemps afid the practice continued because it be punished at all are as far wrongasthosewhowouldprivilegeindis-‘criminate-punishment...Some..waymustbedevisedtocompelprisonerstoworkandtocomplywithprisonrulesandregulations.If whippingisnotpermittedsomeother.methodofpunishmentwillbedevisedand one might be selected that.would be more cruel than whipping.But the decision in this case,while it doesnotforbidwhippingentirely,prob-ably means that that form of pun-ishment for-comvicts is ended. PRESIDENT WINS IN HOUSE. Panama Tolls Repeal Bill Passes, 248 to 162—Fifty-Two DemocratsVotedAgainsttheBilland220 For It. The Sims:bill to repeal the tolls ex-emption clause of the Panama canal act.was passed by the House Tues- day evening by a vote of 248 to 162. Two hundred and twenty Democrats, 25 Republicans and ‘two ProgressiveRepublicans.voted for the —bill, Against the bill there were recorded 52 Democrats,92 Republicans and 17 Progressive Republicans. One Republican Hughes .of West.Virginia:—answered ‘‘pres- ent.”‘All the North Carolina mem- bers voted for repeal except Claude Kitchin of the second district,who voted against it.Before the final vote was taken a motion to recom- mit the bill with instructions to the committee to report a bill to repea] the exemption clause with a declara- tion that the United States.should have complete sovereignty.over the canal,was defeated by a vote of 232 to 176, The bill now goes to”the Senate;where it Will be referred to the com- mittee on inter-oceanic canals,of which Senator O’Gorman of New York,a vigorous opponent of the measure,is chairman,Senator Owen of Oklahoma is leading the fight for repeal in committee and there will probably be a fight before the bill is reported.The Senate may pass the bill,but it will be after long delay. Speaker Clark,closing debate against the repeal,disappointed those who expected him to attack Presi- dent Wilson.He disclaimed any per- sonal issue with the President,de- clared he believed Mr.Wilson was actuated by the highest patriotic mo- tives and that there was no breech in the Democratic party.He argued at length against the President’s-con- tention and declared that “the amaz- ing request of the President for arepeal,like the peace of God,passeth all understanding.”He disclaimed any personal issue between the President and himself and added that if the President had reasons “which are not utterly untenable and whichcompelhimtomakethisrequest,”he had not given them to the House.He differed with the President’s state- ment that toll exemption was “a ‘mis- taken economic policy,”but admitting dispute on that point,proposed that the exemption be suspended two years.He contended that the Presi- dent was mistaken in his view ‘that the exemption was repugnant to theHay-Pauncefote treaty and arguedthatthechiefbeneficiariesofrepealwouldbethetranscontinentalrail-roads.“We want war with no nation” said the Speaker,“but rather than surrender.our right to complete sovereignty over-every square foot of our globe-encircling domain we will cheerfully and courageously face a world in arms.”He attacked the attitude of House Democrats who have led the President’s fight for the toll exemption repeal.Referring to published declarations that his op- position to the President was the “opening gun of his fight for ‘the nomination in 1916,"the Speaker de- clared he had told all to whom he had spoken about the 1916 situation that if the President’s administration was a success Mr.Wilson*would be rYe- elected,and if it was a failure “the nomination wouldn’t be worth hav- ing.” “I never entertained the slightest ill-will toward the President about the.Baltimore convention,”declaredtheSpeaker...I wish him well.IdidaliIcouldtoelecthim.TI have steadfastly supported him until we are called upon to bolt the platform. I absolutely refuse to do any such thing.The fact that I am making this fight for our platform pledgesmayendmypubliccareer,There are many things worse than being de- feated for Congress or defeated forthespeakershiporevenworsethan to be defeated for the -presidency, and one of them Is to repudiatetheplatformonwhichyouare elected.” Representative Adamson closed the debate for repeal.The main argu- ment for repeal was that,even if wedonot“believe the tolls “exemption—aviolationofthetreatywith’Englandthebalanceoftheworldsobelieves and we cannot afford to have the ap- pearance of violating treaty obliga- tions;that such a course will lead to serious international complica- tions;that while the Democratic plat- form declared for the tolls exemption it also declared against subsidies; that free tolls isa subsidy,against which the Democratic party has long Sete eieeet ae +saab elt eS a,At Musebdgee,Okla.,Marie Sooanegrowoman,was taken frombyamobandhanged.She had stab-bed a young white man.todeath;. ‘Attorney General Hogan of:OhiowillinstituteproceedingstoousttheStandardOi!Company and its gub-gidiaries,including the Imperial Oil Company of Canada,from doingbusi- ness in Ohio.With few exceptions evcoalmineclosedTuesdayhight ~definitely.Me:is sige ted 50,000 men were thrown out of employment.

Senator Simmons,who returned to Washington last week from his home in New Berne,-where he had been recuperating,was asked about ‘the meeting of.progressive Democrats. According to a Washington corres- pondent the “Senator stated that if some gentleman in the State wished to call a convention to discuss pro- gressive policies and plan.progres- sive legislation they were entirely within their rights and that he would make no objection and place no ob- stacles in their way.”That is the common sense view of the matter.It is absurd to deny the right of any set of men to meet and organize to promote measures they conceive to be for the general betterment.But that’s what a few of the mossbacks have attempted anent this _progres- sive meeting.| The Landmark has mentioned fre- quently that the benevolent enter- prise known as the Bell telephone company was usually willing to im- prove its service if the patrons will agree in advance to pay the cost;and it was noted that the Bell had gen- erously offered-to.make certain im- provemets at Goldsboro if the people would enter into an agreement to pay for them.As evidence that this is no joke,Goldsboro people have written to Statesville asking about telephone rates.They say the Bell wants to increase its rates in that town to $4 per month for business ‘phones and $2.50 for residence ‘phones.It seems that Goldsboro people can’t appreciate generosity when it is shown them.Some of them are disposed to kick on these rates. They should be thankful the.amount isn’t $5. One would not expect to find in the capitol at Washington an old- time lady—the species almost extinct who busily “plied her knitting needles while she listened or talked, but such an one was seen the other day.A Washington dispatch tells about it:| “An elderly woman whose face bespoke repose occupied a seat in one of the galleries of the House to- day.She had knitting needles and yarn.Things were running smooth- ly when she arrived and at once she began knitting.Suddenly there was an uproar in the House and the wo- man put away the yarn and needles. When order was restored out came the needles and the yarn began to as- sume the shape of a sock,The vis- itor,indifferent to the amused smiles that were sent toward her by mem- ‘bers and occupants of the galleries, plied her needle throughout the day,suspending operations from time to time as’the debate became lively. When she left she took with her apairofsocksthatwerenearingcom-pletion.”.ee The correspondent who submits a list of questions—on the third page of The Landmark—about automobiles and chauffeurs,doesn’t of course ex-pect an answer from The Landmark. But it may be observed that some of the people who get possession of au- tomobiles are much like the Ashe county man.In the days-when the _Alliance was in flower a citizen of Ashe tanked up,went to the home of a neighbor and raised “trough house.” The affair was aired in court.and when the aggrieved householder had told how the belligerent one took possession of his home and smashed things,he was asked if he didn’t pro- test.He did.“What did the unwel- come guest say?”was asked.“Him said him *“Lowance man and him doashimpleased.”Some of the automobile folks evidently feel that way when they get on the road;and as practically nothing is'\done toward *enforcing the law regulating them,the feeling is not unexpected among “these who“have no-regard forthe rights of others. Dr.J.M.Templeton of Wake coun-—“ty has issued-a-statement from:whiehonegathersthatthedoctorlooksup- on the prospective gathering at Ral- eigh as treasonable in the highest degree.“There are,”he thinks,‘‘ef- forts to drag the Farmers’Union into politics or politics into the Farm- ers’Union,”he cannot sey which yet.In his opinion “somebody has plan- ned to run for Governor on the race segregation issue,but ***thefarmerswillnotallowtheinjection of politics into their organization.” so;Dr.Templeton,we believe, was and for all we know may still be,-gt one and the same time presidentoftheWakecountyFarmers’UnionmandchairmanoftheWakecountyDemocraticexecutivecommittee,He, if any man,should realize the de-|leterious efferts'of mixing unionism‘and politi¢s—-Greensboro News.The News has Dr.Templeton down| wrong.He hasn’t been a Democrat at least a party man—for 25 years.

Miss Mattie Tyler,the aged grand- ‘daughter.of President Tyler,who has lost her job as postmaster at Courtland,Va.,went to WashingtonandappealedtothePresidentforhelp.Mr.Wilson promised to what he could.Miss Tyler has held the office for many years and it is said she is dependent on it for sup- port.During the Roosevelt admin- istration an attempt was made tooustherbutMr,Roosevelt retainedher.The office is under the civil service and under the order requiring all--fourth-class-postmasters :to.-pass the civil service examination,Miss Tyler was excluded because she had | assed the age limit.She insists, owever,~that--she -should—be-retein- ed and says it’s the politicians who are trying to put her out.If the la-dy is dependent on the office for a living,which seems to be a fact,thecasehasitspatheticsideandfrom'| that viewpoint one could wish that!she might hold the office.But it is|evident that she is to blame in part! for her troubles.Her administra-!tion of ‘the office has not pleased the’ patrons and she apparently has nottriedtopleasethem.She talks mach about “we Tylers”and what “we Ty- lers”will or will not do.Being oneoftheF.F.V.’s Miss Tyler has ap-parently :ignored the wishes of the common herd and administered theofficetosuitherselfratherthanto suit the patrons.As a result she is unpopular and a majority of the pa- trons are not in sympathy with her. |This idea of the situation is gather-ed from the report of a postoffice in- spector.Sentiment is a fine thing but sentiment should not stand ‘in the way of efficient public service,no! ’::Lmatterhowharditseents;and if tite|oo Pe ea vantage of thesame In prices,wandsmall Musi for Public Schools,Sunday Schools,etc.J.S.LEONARD,Statesville,N.C.jlady-would think less of the impor- jtance of “we Tylers”and more of ef- ficient public service she might ‘better.aia And so it would seem that the courts]¢ do performedarid the couple went tothe eral of Georgia,has’come a candidateStatesSenate. “The Senate committee to 4 the Panama canal repeal bill was re-ferred when it reached that body,af- ter passing the Ho will meet.ntoconsiderit,; Senator Clarke and Judge William F.Kirby ran a neck and neck race for the United States Senate in theDemocraticprimariesinArkansas, the “former for re-election and the latter opposing.The latest returns indicate a victory for Clark by about 720 votes.m ‘Gov,O’Neal of Alabama has been exonerated by a grand jury that in- vestigated.public charges made against him by Theo Lacy,formerly an official of the State convict de- partment.and now under sentence for embezzlement.of the |depart- ment’s funds.

Old:Daddy Do-Funny and His “Wis-rn ".As Applied te Eyeryday a ATEN Correspondence of The Landmark, In the ‘sunshine on Crepe Myrtleplantationanold.negro’used.«todrowseor.sing as his mood.might be.Long.past usefulness ‘of a more ac- tive kind,he was yet an honored member of the plantation world.Twisted with rheumatism.and wellnighhelplesswiththe“miz’ry in hisjints,”he responded bravely to all inquiries with,“I’s well,praise Gord dis mawnin.”His place was as unquestioned as that of the owners.A perisioner formanyyearsandwithnoclaimbut former usefulness,he ruled his small world by a kind of right of eminent domain.His benevolent despotismextendednotonlyovertheotherne- groes.but even to,his masters.Withallduerespectforallconcerned,he boasted sturdily that he was “"sponi-sible to nobody but Almighty Gord”for manners or behavior..Hig sharp é6ld tongue could sting the shiftless and erring of his.race almost to dis- traction,but the children he loved, and,wherever his chair was set, there were they gathered together. Ruth McEnery Stuart celebrates this old man in a little book of his collected “‘Wisdoms.”She has casthisrough.deliverances into jingles that fairly represent his own art form,and,while she has evidently corrected his rhyme-and-rhythm,sheyetpreserves“Ole Daddy~Do-Fun-ny”in his most authentic character- istics..We all remember one old ne- gro or another that these “Wis- doms”may represent,and I have se- lected a few that are laden with thehumor.and pathos of the old:days. “There’s rosemary,that’s for remem- brance;pay .you,love,remember. There’s fennel for you.There’s me for you--and some for me.” Old Daddy Do-Funny has an ob- servation on stolen sweets.Read a little between the lines and you wil! find his real intention: “Oh,watermilion sho is good to eat! But de darkie rates it wwce-t mo’sweet Caze it’s ap’to b’long to de yether man At’it’s mighty hard to lif’by sleight er han’.it ain’t by itself, datNo,it ain't by itself like dat.” Sitting in the shade of the Crepe Myrtle hedge he watches an elderly dude go by.Old Daddy Do-Funny knows that in the spring even an old man’s fancy lightly turns to—certain An’made sweet like -ithings and so he sings softly: “Ef.de hoa’se ol’loudHethought pass for young in de barnyard croud; But he strive so hard an’be steps so spry Dat de pullets all winks whilst be marchesby. An’he ain't by ‘isself in dat,in dat—An’he ain't by ‘isself in dat.” The philosophic shrewdness of the old fellow is never more deep thaninhisnegrohatredof“po’whitetrash.”IE commend this as an un-surpassed observation-on socialclimbers:‘ “Ef you quiz Br’er Mule,you'll find dat heGitsmixedondesubjec’of ‘is fam’'ly tree; He'll brag about ‘is mammy with a noble neigh, An’deny ‘is own daddy wid a ginuine bray.But he ain't by ‘isself in dat,im dat But he ain't by ‘isself in dat The old-fashioned negro was an authority on good manners,He wagsbroughtupamongmenwhoseso- cial creed was genial but very strict. Old Daddy Do-Funny just hands this out as an observation: “Brer Pole-cat’s got a s‘ciety smile An’he sho is dressed in scrumptious style; But he keeps ‘is own hat off de quality rackBydésceaniouswayheanswersback But he ain't by ‘isself in dat,in dat— But he ain’t by ‘isself in dat.” To nations that talk big and shoot crooked,to ambjtious towns that say “Watch Pandunk grow,”to certain bumptious members of the younger generation,the old man gives this observation: “You'll sometimse trace de loudes’grunt In de horg let down to de littles’runt, Talk as ef he'd ‘nounce whilst he bolts swill ‘A pompious horg*is as big as ‘is will.’ An’he ain't by ‘isself in dat,in dat-— No,he ain't by ‘isself in dat.” Here is a profound warning faith- fully given.Watching what certain young men do with their time and with their God-given’powers,-the old seer looks down the years to the dis- mal close: “De green goard on de sunny shed Was mighty proud of his pethy head, So he ntuver pondered or studied or trained,An"now he's pl’an’rattle-brained. An’he ain't by.‘isself in dat,in dat An’he ain't by ‘isself in dat.” Old Danddy Do-Funny hands’this lovingly to a certain type of states- man: “Br'er Terrapin knowin’,You can’t tell whether.he’s comin’or go- in’,But his mind ain't mixedhe’s layin’lowTetheseeswhithwayhe’s oblééged to azo: An’he ain’t no new politician in datNo,he ain't by ‘isself in dat.” Daddy Do-Funny says,“Watchandpray.Pray for insight and out- sight.But watch out!I knows a lot of ol’wisdom caves for rent be-hin’dis crepe myrtle hedge.” Well,Isn’t That Something?

Washington Dispatch.The new Federal reserve banking system will start business with a total .authorized capital of about} $100,000,000 for all reserve banks,no} matter how many institutions the or-| ganization committee decides to set | up.This fact became apparent when| figures were made public from all} national banks responding to the! last call of the comptroller of the cur-| rency,made March 4. The statement issued giving these/ figures will be the last of the kind be-| fore the formal launching of the sys-| tem unless the organization changes its present purpose and delays the announcement of the reserve districts|nd cities.The total capital and suz-; plus of the 7,494 national banks re-| porting was given at about $1,788,-| also names and positions of all de.|000,000.Under the reserve act each|national bank must subscribe six per| cent of its capital and surplus to the! capital of the reserve bank in its dis- trict and 6 per cent of this total would be about $107,000,000.There were only 7,465 national banks who sig- nified in the legal time their intention to enter the system,so that the total would be somewhat reduced but the entrance into the system of State banks and trust companies will tend to offset this,and it is possible that with these institutions’figured ih the capital of all reserve banks will be near $110,000,000. The actual working capital of_the reserve banks may reach only ‘half this amount,for the act.provides mandatory subscriptions of only three-sixths of the total 6 per cent. The reserve board,the machine which will direct the system,however,is authorized to demand the payment of the other three-sixths.

Yo Vote on $25,000 of Bonds For a School’Building—W..J.Matheson Elected Alderman to Fill Vacancy —QGas Franchise Passed—The Key Property For Cemetery Purposes —Proceedings Board of Aldermen. Considerable ‘business was trans- acted by the board of aldermen at its regular ‘monthly meeting Friday night.The meeting was attended‘by .the mayor and all members of the board and the first action was to ap- int a committee to prepare reso- lations to the memory of Alderman A.DB,Cooper,who.had died since the last ng.Messrs.Ausley,Mc- Elwee and Bristol were named as the committee and the resolutions are to be presented to the next meet- ing of the board.The election of a successor to Mr.Cooper to fill out bis unexpired term was in order and Mr.W.J.Matheson was unanimously elected. An election was ordered to be held Tuesday,June 16th,to submit te.thevotersofthetowrr-a~—bond-issue_of $25,000 for.another grfaded school building and equipment.As has been stated,the school board has se- cured an option from Mr.J.C.Sul- livan on about three acres of land on Water street,near the inter- section of Water with Davie avenue, and while other property is being considered the board appears to pre-fer thia for the new school site:Mr. Sullivan offers to deduct .$250 from the purchase price of the property if the city will take the small point of ground between Water street and Davie avenue and convert it into a park to be known as Sullivan's park. The gas franchise to Messrs. Bridgeman and Moses,the new own- ers of the Statesville gas plant, passed its third and final reading. The gas people have given $2,000 bond to guarantee gas for general public use within six months.Work on the plant is progressing rapidly and Messrs.‘Bridgeman and Moses state that so far as the plant is con- cerned they will be veady to manu- facture gas,the real “home-made” article,within two weeks.Theywi for- merinnew ones.Thisbutthe’gas people say the public may depend on getting gas within a very.short time. Mrs.P.B.Key,through her sel,expressed a willi to sell the property which is red by the city for cemetery purposes,rather than have litigation over the prop- erty,and submitted a proposition to the city.It was made clear to the board that the proposition was made with reluctance,as Mrs.Key does not desire to dispose of the proper- ty.The city submitted a counter proposition to Mrs.Key and it is hoped that the matter can be settled without litigation. Quite a aber of bids for $30,- 000 of @ Statesville street improve- ment bonds had been received by the coun- aldermen,but all of these save two| were rej by the board.The two are sae being considered by the finance committee.Both bidders of- fer par,with accrued interest and small premiums.ae The matter of sprinkling the streets in the business section is again being agitated and the alder- men propose to have the sprinkling done if the merchants of the town will contribute $10 a week toward “the expenses,this amount to be paid weekly.The matter is now “up to the merchants.”They,can either take the dust or put up the $10 a week.©: The city engineer was instructed to astertain what portion.of the Bradford Knitting Mill’s property 1s outside the corporate limits so that the matter of taxes may be adjusted. The mill owns about 23 acres of ground,.It was shown to the.board that Frank Chambers and Jo.White, both colored,haye been paying poll tax for several years after passing the age limit and the taxes were erdered—refunded.

Sometinies we view the same‘proposition differently at different times.it depends on our concern in the proposition.The national Demo- cratic platform of 1908 declared for the removal of the tariff-on lomber.Senator Simmons was a member oftheplatformcommittee.In the cam-paign he defended free lumber and justified the plank.A.little later, when the Payne.Aldrich tariff bill was under consideration,.SenatorSimmonsvotedforadutyonlumber and deferided that vote.For “de- serting the Democratic platform,”as they alleged,the opposition raked Senator Simmons fore and aft whenhewasacandidateforre-cleciion in 1912...Hon.Claude Kitchin,whose brother,Gov...Kitchin,was a candi- date against.Senator Simmons,was rticularly sevére ‘on the Senator. hr.Kitchin-ihad voted for frée iym-ber and justified his vote and his al-legiance to the platform.The sup- porters of Senator Simmons endeav-ored of course to justify his position in departing from the platform and Some of them were particularly se- vere on Mr.Kitchin.They.didn’t think it necessary to stand by the atform at all times and seasons. he people of the State sustained Mr.Simmons. When the fight came on to repeal the Panama canal tolls exemption, Mr.Kitchin refused to vote for re-peal because the Democratic plat- form had approved free tolls.Mr,Kitchin was in good company in his position and is consistent in stand- ing by the platform.It required RR wey ===: In Our New Patent “EASY-OPENING Box” t "‘ Black—Tan—White THE F.F.DALLEY Co.,Lrp.,BUFFALO,N.Y.,HAMILTON,ONT, were present,in mourning,and when the defendant was.convicted he made this a point of objection,It would have been all.right,of course,for the women .and children of his fami- ly to be present.to.create sympathy for him.It makes-a difference.

TUESDAY,April 7,1914. =:Col,Julian S.Carr gave it out in Washington a few days ago that North Carolina is the “worst machine boss-ridden State in the Union.”A good many people and newspspers in +the State have had considerable to say recently about bosses.in North Carolina.If they keep on some ofnsf them ‘will up and tell all about it,eee All about the State the past week there were county commencemenits. The school children from alt over a county,in some cases numbering sev- eral thousand,gathered at the coun- ty seat,marched through the streets and participated in public exercises. These occasions are inspiring to the school children and the public and helpful all around.Iredell should have a county commencement next year. That South Carolina lawyer—Sims of Spartanburg—whv was disbarred the other day must have been rank. Evenhis brother attorneys testified “fhat his reputation was bad andit is rare that a “’possum dog will eat *possum”—that a lawyer will prose- cute a lawyer.The rankest shysters sometimes flourish,constantly com- mitting ‘offenses that would land a layman in the penitentiary,and the respectable members of the profes- sion;while denouncing their conduct in private conversation,rarely raise a hand to rid the profession of those who disgrace it.On the contrary,if a layman brings:action against one of their number he will have a hard time getting counsel to represent him. “The explanation of the plan of operation of the CGatawba_Rural Credit Association,printed on anoth- er page,is interesting..The plan is simple and yet is capable of supply- ing a great need.With dues $1 per ~morith,payable monthly,quarterly or semi-annually,it would seem that the shares could be carried with little trouble and that these associations will do for the rural districts what _the building and loan does for the town.Not only does the association afford a means to furnish money to “those who may want to borrow to buy Icnd ot make improvements,the money being repaid in easy install- ments,but it offers-a good invest- ment as a savings bank. ed the appropriations committee of Congress a few days ago that the government provided no motor car for the official use of the Secretary of State and he didn’t ask for one.He owns a car for his private use..The governmentprovidesahorse and car- riage for the Secretary of State to make official calls but no coachman and one’of the messengers in the de- “partment drives the carriage.Mr. Bryan said that inasmuch as it was bad form to make official calls with- out a footman he had been placing a State Department messenger on the box,deducting his time from the gov- ernment payroll and paying him from the Bryan private pocxetbook..Glory to Mr.Bryan. The Clinton (Sampson county) News-Dispatch goes after the State Board of Health for “sending.out cigarette fiends to instruct our doc- tors.”Recently one of the staff of the State board was sent to Clinton to “instruct our doctors,”says the News-Dispatch,which continues:“He _ead a paper.on the ‘Registration of _jBirths.and.Deaths,’which was.very good.He then took a seat,lighted a cigarette,inhaled the smoke,blew it through his nose,and then inform- ed the doctors present that they could ask him any questions concern- ing the paper that he had just read. Whereupon the oldest physician pres- ent took his overcoat and left the room in disgust.”This doctor may be competent far as medical knowledge is concerned,continues the Clinton paper,but it contends that when a man is sent out at public ex- pense “to help suffering humanity” he should not be “a cigarette fiend” to set a bad example before the chil- dren.The Landmark is of the opin- jon that the Clinton paper's point is well taken.The doctor who goes out to talk health rules and ‘sanitary reg- ulations to the public will not make @ favorable impression by puffing a cigarette in the faces of those to whonr he talks. ter shots had been exchanged,hasbeenarrested.He admits the alloged_hold-up was a fake,his motive beinghopeof,rewerd and promotion forbraveservice. 80 “Tut it had about as,well butt Hij!but it was in the,“also ran” class.It got in on the second round, .“A good’many.cities arc...now agrecing,”says the Greensboro Nows,“that a branch reserve bank will really be just.about as good.” Yes,some of the citics that tried to get a real bank and were not.even in the “also ran”class.

Enormous Death Rate ‘Decreases Pensions Appropriations. Washington Dispatch to New York Times. A falling off of $21,150,000 in the amount necessary to pay next year’s war pensions is disclosed in the pen- sion appropriation bill as reported to the:House of Congress.This falling off These losses have become heavy in recent years.The total amount rec-ommended in the bill for the-fiscal year 1915 is $169,150,000.The amountcarriedinthepensionbillforthe current fiscal year was $180,300,000 —the largest in the government’s history.This enormous sum was necessary on aécount of the enact-ment of the Sherwood service _pen-sion law of May 11,1912. The loss of veterans by death last year was 57,459,which means that veterans are now dying at the rate of more than 1,100 a week or nearly 160 a day.The net loss in the num-ber of pensioners in 1913 was 40,-094.

Death’s Harvest Among the New Foundling Sealing Fieet. Death traveled in a gale that over-took ghe New Foundland _sealing fleets last Tuesday.The steamerNewFoundlandlostabout77of her crew,while as many more,it is feared,will be maimed as a result of exposure. The men lost were far from their ships killing seals when the storm,with blinding snow,swooped down. They were exposed for 48 hours be- fore assistance arrived and in that time many succumbed. The New Foundland was one of a fleet of 15 ships,carrying more than 2,000 men,scattered among ite ice floes near Belle Isle Strait.The crews were on the floes hunting seals and the hunt had taken them four to six miles from their snips.When the blizzard came the crews of other steamers managed to regain their vessels,but the floes on ‘which theNewFoundland’s men were huntingdriftedawayfromthemainbodyof ice,and when darkness fell that night not one had returned.©Theship’s crew-numbered 150 men,of whom 120 were on the ice.Seventy-seven members of the crew of the NewFoundlandareknowntohave_per-ished and 30 were rescued.The 30 survivors are expected to recover butthemajorityneverwillbefitforac- tive service again.Three lost both hands.and both feet,five lost both feet,eight others lost a foot and 11willloseahandorfingers.The.oth- ers will bear scars for life.

MR.WATTS’NAMED AS THE BOSS The Greensboro News the opinion that “there is a purpose to “boss’North Carolina,in a polit- ical way,much as New York and oth- er States have been governed,where the machinery has been brought to.a high state of perfection.”Coming down to “brass tacks”the News seys: The News did not “have Senator Simmons in-mind,primarily,when it expressed the fear that the State~is being bossed.We apprehend,how- ever,that the situation is infinitely worse than this would be.The con- stitution gontemplates that appoint- ments shall be made largely under the supervision of.United States Sen- ators.But in this State the President is not making appointments by and with the consent of the Senate;con- “trayiwise.Mr.Wilson is (unwittingly) making most of his appointments ifi this State by and with the consent of Collector A.D.Watt8:*Both the Sen- ators have abdicated,they have in a large measure refrained from exer- cising this official duty,and have in a large measure given the State over, respecting patronage and other par- ty organization matters,into the keeping of the collector for the fifth internal revenue district.Even For- mer Chairman Webb got recognition under the Wilson administration by grace of the collector.Instead of consulting his own friends and exer- cising his own judgment,Mr.Over- man definitely placed his fortunes in- to the hands of Mr.Simmons’private secretary:‘Instead of considering applications for office and other mat- ters of party concern on their merits, expresses the Senators have in many instances}- conferred controlling and governing authority.upon a man whose latter- day claims to distinction rest,and must ever rest,upon an indefatigable and unyielding hostility to the known policies of President Wilson.*** If appointive offices are filled under the supervision of a master machin- :t,then nominations for elective of- 4ces and not infrequently acts of leg- islation,will be subjected to similar supervision,just as the State has found in the past,sometimes to our humiliation.. When the Republican party was in power there was maintained what was frequently characterized as gov- ernment by trustees.That system ‘naturally dréw the animadversions of Republicans and Democrats alike.We should think Democrats would regard it as worth while to avoid a condition which can only invite as richly de- served condemnation. Of course this article is not to be regarded as critical of Mr.Watts.He stands for what he stands for boldly, with a candor unalloyed. The News does our Iredell fellow citizen much honor.But being a modest man,Mr,Watts will probably deny that he is the whole show. Those hostile to the Raleigh meet- ing will probably contend that it was a failure and will accomplish noth- ing.Those in sympathy with it,will probably say it was satisfactory and will accomplish all that was expect- ed.The absence of Mr,Bryan was of course a disappointment.Wheth- er the meeting itself was all its pro- moters hoped for we don’t know.But a public gathering,composed of even a few hundred people having a dis- tinct purpose,cannot fail to give im- petus to the things for which it stands.The platform of the -pro- gressives,sent out from this Raleigh .gathering,will be discussed all over North Carolina and the more it is discussed the stronger it will -be- come.The State-wide primary is al- ready a certainty;the employes of public service corporations who have been offering as candidates for the Legislature to help their employers, are embarrassed as never before; and many other of the things declar- ‘Ved for by the progressives Will tome to.pass-ere many legislative moons shall wax and wane. ———$—$——TS They’ve organized a treague in New York to teach correct postures—to| teach folks how to sit and stand cors| rectly.The idea is from the physi-| ¢al and health standpoint—that cer-| tain postures in sitting and standing | impair the physical development and develop disease.The idea is a good one,But as to sitting and standing,| generally speaking,many folks want *o do too much of that.It’s a league that will teach folks to move busy and keep busy at yorth while—that is needed to get something eines The administrator of the estate of James P.Medlin was awarded dam ges in the sum of $2,000 avainst the wounty of Greenville,South Carolina sn court at Greenville:He sued on account of injuries sustained by the deceased when his wagon turned over on a county road,which it is alleged resulted in the death of Medlin,al feging that the overturning’Wis die to bad roads.i President Wilson will spend Easter at White Sulphur Springs,W.Va. |prevalent PELUAGRA EP -2 This Is Theory Advanced By F.Siler of Pellagra Commission. Charlotte Observer,8th. Improper disposal of human waste beceuse of lack of sewage is.ap- parently the most important’cause of _pellagra,‘accoraing to Dr,G. F.Siler who spoke last night to Charlotte doctors.He gave ‘this as one apparently justifiable conclusion of the research work of the Thomp- son-McFadden Pellagra Commission. Doctor Siler is a member of that commission and has the rank of captain in the hospital co of the United States army,©T com, mission has conducted minute in- vestigation of the disease during the past two years,in and about Spar- tanburg,S.C.Doctor Siler is in Charlotte at the invitation of local physicians and he lecturdd at the Y.M.C.A.last night.i The Thompson-McFadden com- mission was endowed by Col.Robert M.Thompson of New York and Mr. J.H.McFadden of Philadelphia for the study of pellagra.The body was formed by the appointment of Doctor Siler by the Surgeon-General of the Army;Dr.P.E.Garrison, appointed by,the Surgeon-General of the Navy,and Dr.W.J.McNeal, appointed by the New York Post. Graduate Medical School.Doetors Siler and Garrison were named to undertake the epidemiologic study of the disease. They have been established at Spartanburg,8.€.,and-their investi- gation has-been made in-the.county of Spartanburg.In the work they have been aided by expert en- tomologists,in trying to determine whether an insect is responsible for the spread of the disease or not. Their study has been directed toward deciding if the disease.is a bacterial or a protoaoan infection;if it is carried in ‘corn meal or.other food;if it is borne by some insect or is due to conditions about the homes. The result of the research work in Spartanburg for two years was revealed by DoctorSiler.last night, illustrating his lecture with charts. He stated to his audience that the commission he represents has no deductions to publish and is still in the midst of its work.Help is what is wanted,aid from physicians in other communities,so that it can be determined if the observa- tions,already made,can be applied to pellagra conditions everywhere. Until these data are in hand,the commission is fighting away from conclusions regarding the disease and its causes,said Doctor Siler. A line drawn from Washington, D.C.,to west Texas would divide the pellagra territory from,the territory not infected,said the lec- turer,,and the Southern division is the pellagra one.The South Carolina observations showed that 39 was the average number of cases in 10,000 population in.Spar- tanburg county for two years.In the rural communities the average was 29 to the 10,000 and in mill villages 104 to the 10,000.This led to the statement that the disease is centered in the mill communities. A study of six mill villages show- ed 40 cases in 3,334 males;91 cases in 3,260 females.Although up to ten years of age both sexes were afflicted with the disease in the same ratio,frem 20 to 50 years of age,the female suffered in’many more cases than the male.A study of the food habits of the mill people showed that among those who used corn meal habitually the infection was less,although it was not a conclusion of the commission ‘that corn meal was a prophylactic against pellagra. The charts of Doctor Siler showed that the use of fresh meats and canned goods apparently had no effect ‘in the matter from which de- ductions could be made one way or the other.The use of milk gave a possible basis for an idea that milk is prophylactic,inasmuch as among the people who drank.milkregularlythepercentageofcases of pellagra.was less than among non-users. The investigations showed that theinfectionismorefrequentinhomes where the disease has _been,'less frequent in homes next door tocases,but least frequent in homes further away than next door.It was [found that.the.disease occurs nearly exclusively in the districts.of cities outside the sewer districts.Where sewerage is properly provided the disease was shown to be practically non-existant.This interesting fact was shown in investigations of sev- eral villages,both ‘with and.without proper water sewerage. From these facts the deduction was drawn that the diséase~is rendered by poor sewage and is effected by contact,that is,one per- son ‘with the disgase can communi- cate it to another. The theory of the buffalo gnat as the cause of infection was said by Doctor Siler to have been passed up by the commission,aftor finding that the gnat doesn’t bite often enough to make it probable that it commun- icates the disease.The commission thought the stable fly or the body louse,if any insect was responsible, should best be considered. Experiments have heen conducted at the Spartanburg laboratory,Doc- tor Siler stated,and in the experi- mentation 35 or 40 animals had been used as inoculated specimens.Only five of the animals are alive .and some died with pellagric symptoms but without the skin symptoms of the disease While he stated that the commis-ion was fighting away from econ-clusions,he discussed the.questionofcausesinamannerthatcon- veyed the impression that the com-mission has practically discarded.theideathatfoodcausedthedisease,Seemingly the body of investigatorsisinclinedtothebeliefthatdefee-tive sewage is the chief cause.ofpellagrawithaningectasapos-sibility.Doctor Siler stated ©that Dr.Gs]oy he would be glad to vie hp: paring data about conditions i 7TOTEACHCORRECTPOSTURES.

PROGRESSIVE MEETING. Pomerene Substituted For Mr.Bryan—Other Speakers—The Things to Be Contended For. At the mass meeting of Progressive Democrats in Raleigh Wednesday "Senator Pomerene of Ohio was the chief’speaker,he substituting for Secretary Bryan,who was too sick to be present,The other notable speakers were Gov.Craig and Sec- retary of State Daniels. The following report of the meet- ."jing is condensed from a report to the Greensboro News:: When the meeting of progressive Democrats assembled here ‘today at noon it was estimated that about 250 to.800 individual Democrats.were here from points outside of Releigh and with the Raleigh crowd made an audience of about 500.The feature of the morning session was the ad- who was chos- en permanent chairman of the meet- _Gov.Craig opened his address by stating that if any man had come to romote factionalism among the mocrats,he would be disappointed. He declared this was.@ meeting of Democrats,for Democrats,to consid- er the welfare of the Democratic par- ty and of mankind.He assured the audience there was no “nigger in the woodpile”—no false pretenses and no deception.After speaking on the chievements of..the party..the Gov- ernor,turning to present day prob- Jems,declared that Democracy does not come to you on what she has done but on what she will do.“Taft invited us baek to the pie,counter, but we didn’t come then,allured by ederal patronage.For 40 years we followed Democracy a5 a cloud of fire by night,but.in 1912 Democracy came back into power with Southern ideals in the ascendency and a South- ern born man in the highest office within the gift of the people.Democ- racy came back because it stood for equal rights for all men and North Carolina came back and placed in the cabinet the first citizen of the Old North State since the war.“As com- mander of the navy,his administra- tion means peace to all men,peace on earth ‘and good will to all men, don’t know that I agree with Pres- ident Wilson and his cabinet on their foreign palicy,but I do know I had rather err on the side of peace.I’m no standpat Democrat.Plain Dem- ocrat is good enogh for me,like Wil- son is a Democrat.” Gov.Craig advocated three things, a primary for all parties with ma- «-¢hinery for all;a separate commis- sion to handle tax.matters and one to handle railway and public service cor- poration matters;legislation favor- ing good roads and better sanitary conditions in the rural communities, where 80 per.cent of the people of the State dwell. He declared he did not advocate ical reform for reform’s sake but ,use it would enable the people to advance.-Ever-since 1899,he declar- ed,not a single scandal had been con- nected with our State government and he would not swap our govern- ment for any he knew of,South Car- olina included.:He referred to West- vendui were needed,In 191)«mild primary was offered,the Sen- ate and was killed in the House.In 1918 a drastic daw was submitted, passed the Senate and was killed in the House. Is the child labor legislation new +id he asked.‘‘It has-been agitated for several ‘sessions,We would not have been here in session if the -Legisla- ture was always responsive to.the will of the people.The ghost is caus- ed to arise of prohibition and T have no fear that it will be submitted and if so,the people will settle it,This is the people’s State.No man or set of men should say what we should have.Let the people of North Caro- lina say if they want the weapon.by which they can defend themselves, against those who would wreck their house.” Clarence Poe declared that the sin- cerity of this meeting would be brought into serious question if it did not submit the question.Dr.H. Q.Alexander declared that experionce had shown that reforms and progyes- sive legislation originated with the people and they had to fight to get them recognized.-He favored sub- mission of the question. Governor Oraig took the floor again and said he did not want to cause @ division,but if*necessary he wanted to state his position now on this question so his position would be tin- derstood.If the next State conven- tion wanted to submit it and the peo- ple wanted it then he would not ob- ject. P.W.Glidewell followed with an explanation that Ed.Justice made-the proposition in the Pepgisiature forthe submission of primary to the people in 1913 and was turned down.Glide- well charged that in 1908 a primary plank was written in the platform and there were not enough members in the Legislature favoring it to re- port the bill from the committee. “This meeting is to tell the truth,” he said,“and the truth is the Legis- lature is not responsive.” Capt.T.W.Mason favored the in- itiative and referendum,but was op- posed to “damning any set of citi- zens”for accepting employment from the railroads..He thought this too severe when railroads operate in this State.This was.class legislation,too small for this body to consider or support. ‘As the debate continued it became a sort of confessional of those who held railway passes.J.A.Bolick, House member from Polk,a railway engineer,objected to the pass section because it would demand surrender of an -engineer’s seniority and be a serious blow to him.He denied that he served the railway company in the Legislature.,Will Dalton of Reids- ville had a pass but was willing to surrender it;Curtis Muse of Moore, a candidate for the ‘Senate,offered to surrender 32 annual passes if elected. Crawford Biggs of Durham admitted being an ex-railroad attorney and thought the passes should be surren- dered.He thought it should apply to lawyers,engineers and all employes, Some one su the newspapers, too.The whole platform was then adopted as reported from the com- mittee,and the summary follows: First.All nominees,State,Federal and county,should be chosen on a common day for all parties,expense accounts should be limited and ex- penses published before and after ern governments as being too far away from home to consider and de- dared that the Democratic party had always been reasonably respousible | to the demands of the people.“Tm | _for a primary—we have one in all} important matters—let’s have it for all the people,and an act that will in-| sure against all manner of corrup-| tion.” He declared that railroad rate) structure must be reformed in justice’ to all parties and this work should} be left to one commission while an- other commission should provide ma- chinery for levying and collecting taxes.The first work should go to the corporation commission and the gecond to a new commission.The Governor’s address was liberally ap- plauded. District Attorney Francis D.Wat- son,at the conclusion of Governor Craig’s speech,offered a set of reso- jutions highly indorsing the Wilson administration in all matters,and-the-course.of the State’s .Senators election. Second.Urges ratification of con- stitutional amendment for tax re- form,larger inheritance and other taxes, Third.Amendments limiting local and private legislation. Fourth.Favors six:months’school term for all,and upholding,and.ex- tending health work. Fifth.Applauds enforcement of liquor laws and favors law holding criminally liable those who rent prop- erty for illegal purposes. Sixth.Favor highway commission and enacting State highway bill,and putting convicts on roads,and op- pose working them on railroads whether stock in such railroads is good or bad;favor indeterminate sen- tences and parole system. Seventh.Continue freight rate fight,inter and intra-State,recom- mending two commissions,one for tax matter and the.other for.public service corporations.

Craig.He declared this meeting was toserve notice on future law ; that North Carolina does not intend to be laggard,that no longer will per- sonal.interests of one man or 8¢ men be paramount.He advocateda primary,better system of taxation, batter regulation of public service corporations and larger participation of all people in affairs of the govern- ment...He cited Ohio’s recent pro- gressive activities and-pra the work.of Senator Pomerene.. Senator Pomerene,in ©4 praised Mr.Daniels as Secretary of the Navy,declaring that.‘so long as he was at the head of the navy there would be no scandal.He also had words of commendation for Senators Simmons and.Overman and our Rep- resentatives and declared Mr.son the greatest President since Lincoln, Most of his speech was devoted’to telling of reform legislation in Ohio, He declared:the.initiative and refer- endum the best policeman’s club ever held over a legislator.ae Biltmore Estate Re-Opened Tues- day. Aahaville Citizen;4th-—= After being close¢to the public for a month following the death of the master of Biltmore,the estate which surrounds.the magnificent mafsion of the late George W.Van-| derbilt-will be opened to the public) today.As before the death of Mr.} Vanderbilt,the drives through “the estate.will be available only on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays. The Biltmore estate is one of the principal points of interest here and thousands of visitors to the metrop- olis of the Land of the .Sky have driven over many miles of good roads which traverse the holdings of| the late Mr.Vanderbilt.During the month that the estate has been clos- ed as a token of respect for the man who developed it,many visitors have| been disappointed at their inability to visit the estate and view the finest private home in the United States. With the opening of the estate to- doy it is expected that many visit- ors will go through the propertyt It is announced by the management that the public will be subject to the same regulations that were in effect prior to the death of Mr.Vanderbilt. LCI, Home Rule Bill Being Pushed On to Passage.ae By a majority of 80,in the British Parliament Monday night,an amend- ment for the rejection of the home rule bill.wax@defeated in the House of Commons and without division the bill was given for the third time its}, second reading in the House. Andrew.Bonar Law,»the opposi- tion leader,though professing in cer- tain passages of his speech to see hardly any hope of a peaceful scttle- ment and predicting that civil war was certain if the government per- sisted im pushing the bill through, declared that he and his colleagues would gladly accept a proposal for the renewal of the conversations with the government leaders,but feared that nothing would come of it. The final passage of the home rule bill,unléss amended or some compro- mise agreéd on,may mark the be- ginning of civil war in Ulster. “GOOD CARS BE?

The convention was called to order in.the court house about 11:30 o’clock by Dr.F.A.Carpenter of Statesville, president of the Iredell-Alexander Medica)Society,and the session wasopenedwithScripturereadingand prayer by Rev.J.H.Pressly.Mayor Caldwell extended a cardial welcome to the visiting physicians on behalf of the town and Dr.J.E.McLaughlin proved himself a good public speak- er in his well chosen words of wel- come on behalf of the local physi- cians.Dr.A.A.Kent of Lenoir,whorespondedtothewordsofwelcgme, made some very complimentary ref- erences to Statesville and her citi- zenship,especially the physicians. When Dr.Kent had concluded Dr. Carpenter called Dr.C.M.Van Poole of Salisbury;the president of the District Society,to the chair and the regular programme was taken ‘up.A rehearsal of the past year's work of the society was given by Dr.D.J.Hill of Lexington,the districtcouncilor,after which Dr.‘Jas.K. Hall of Richmond,Va.,read.an excel-lant papet on “Paresis,and the Im-portance of its Early.Recognition.” Dr.Hall,whois an Iredell man,a gon of Dr.E.A.Hall of Bethany township,was for some years assist- ant physician of the State Hospital at Morganton and is now the head of Westbrook Sanatorium at Richmond. His experience with paresis and his study of the disease has made him an authority on the subject and his pa- per brought favorable comment from other physicians.Dr.J..P.Monroe of the North Carolina Medical Col- lege dt Charlotte,Dr.A.J.Crowell of Charlotte and Dr.Kent of Lenoir all discussed the paper in open meet- ing and elaborated some of the points brought out by Dr.Hall.At the conclusion of the discussion of paresis the meeting adjourned until 3:30 in the afternoon.During.the recess the visiting doctors were en- tertained at dinner at Hotel Iredell by the local fraternity. The election of officers was takenupattheopeningoftheafternoon session and the society was unan- imous in its selections of Dr.J.E. McLaughlin as president and Dr.F. A.Carpenter as secretary.TheStatesvillephysiciansthushonored will have charge of the work of the society during the year and will pre- side at the next annual meeting, which will be held iri Lexington next spring.Following the election of theofficersDr.A.G.Brenizer of Char- lotte discussed “Goiter’and Hyper-thyroidism,”which was also discuas- ed by Dr.Hall of.Richmond.“Nasal Obstructions”was the subject of a paper by Dr.Carpenter of Statesville, which brought favorable discussion and comment from Dr.Cautham of Charlotte.There was a general dis- cussion of the paper on “Rupture of the Uterus During Labor,”read by Dit nal...WL...Long..«0f..Greensboro,...Lr. McNairy of Lenoir,Dr.Van Poole of Salisbury,Dr.Brenizer of Charlotte and Dr.1.W.Faison of Charlotte all erigaged in the discussion,which was very instructive.Dr.Faison read 4 per on “A Supposed Case ofheumatism”and Dr.McBrayer ofAshevillediscussedpublichealth,pre- ventive medicine and vital statis- tics.”The last speaker was Dr.Mt-Nairy,who spoke briefly of his work at Montrose,neither he nor Dr.Mc- Brayer having sufficient time to de- liver their messages. During the discussions several of the physicians referred to the greatworkofDr,H.F.Long of States- ville and his private Sanatorium,de- claring that many of the doctors knew Statesville principally as the home of this surgeon,who is making such a fine reputation.Several of the doc- tors remained here after the close of the meeting to visit the Sanatorium.The convention adjourned between 6 arid 7 o’clock and the majority ofthevisitingphysiciansleftonthe evening trains for Among the visitors,in addition tothosementionedinconnectionwiththeprogrammeintheforep paragraphs,were Doctors,W.~-T.Coman and .S..M.Crowell of Char-W.D Gilmore their hotrhes.|) +petit steno ran annette ARAM Sentient HIGH SCHOOLS AT CONCORD. eneadFirstMeetoftheSchools of the WestCentral Division—Harmony andStony.Point.Represented—lredellWonSecondPrize.

Ayeock,Ransom,Hoke,Mclver, Caldwell and many another of the il-lustrious dead,not to mention theliving.—-Greensboro News. The News is probably not serious, What Gov.Craig meant and what he did say,we take it,was that Mr Daniels is the first member of thecabinetfromNorthCarolinasincethewar.As the remark appeared in the papers it might be construed tomeanthatMr.Daniels is the first citizen of the State—the greatest man the State has produced—since the war.The Governor didn’t intend to go that far,of course. Speaking of “first citizens,”how ever,a former newspaper editor in this State used to produce one every few days.He had a habit—this ed- itor had—of saying in his paper ev-} ery few days that he had received aj letter from “one of the first citizens of the State”approving the course of his paper.At frequent intervals alleged extracts were quoted from al- leged letters from “first citizens,”in which the editor and his paper were highly commended.The letters were never printed and no names were giv-en.It was the opinion ef many peo-ple that the “first citizeps”who were all the time writing to tiieeditor were as mythical as the m oO wrate Judge Clark the famous)r from the mountain coves of Yance¥e, ..>: Solicitor Sinclair of the Fayétte- ville district,announcing thdt:he willnot,be a candidate for re-election,de-nowunees the recorder’s court system,saying’the establishment of —these courts have made “patchwork of ourjudicialsystemandrenderedthe:of- fice of solicitor so far from tucrative that it is not worth the fimé nec- essary to devote to it.”So dt°seems the loss of salary by solicitors is the reat grievance’-agains>-recorders’ courts.Over against this may}be set the prompt.tria)of cages,savingthefeedingofdefendantsinjailtoawait®regular term of court}thedispositionNumeroussmallcaseswhichwould¢ef8ume time and in- crease the expense of the Superior Courts.Referring to ‘salaries for solicitors,Mr.Sinclair says: “Bat you cannot get a’salary billthroughtheLegislature.Every lit-tie eg6-roads paper which happensmynonthelawyersand’all the 3 In the Legisla s a bill to me peo think j y 3a matter »Most of the solicitors would have lost by the salary bill proposed last winter,which provided for minimum salary of $1,600,” Mr,Sinclair’s statement wil!correction.As a matter of fact mofthenewspapersoftheState favorthesalarysystemforsolicitorsandallotherofficers.Up to very recentyears,all attempts to |solicitors on a salary have been de a feated,not by the “little cross roads papers”and the “ignorant demawoguesintheLegislature,”but bythewelf-seeking “lawyers—the ‘solic, tors themselves,who knew they could)of themakemore-money.-by tho.fec syatem,/the”firstSincetherecorder’s courts have cut place of the salary plan.We have in mind one solicitor who some years ago wrote letters opposing a salary bill before the Legislature—ithe letters can be produced.*A little later,after a number of.recorders’.courts had been established in his district.and cut out much business,this same solicitor appeared as a strong ad- vocate of the salary system.Solic- itor Sinclair is either poorly inform- ed or he thinks the public doesn’t know or doesn’t “remember some ON na IN:THE COUNTRY AT LARGE.

About 6 o’clock he became suddenly very ill and died before a physician could be summoned.Death came swiftly but gently and the good man slept.News of Mr.Bowden’s death was heard with sincere sorrow by all who knew him,for he was eminently a good man.His life was one of Glietude and attention to business. His home,his church,his shop—these three,with their duties,made up the sum total of his life.He lived at peace with all men and died conscious of a life well spent and fortified by the religion he professed and lived. Mr.Bowden was born in Warren county in 1844 and was in his 70th year.His father was Wm.Bowden. His young life was spent in his native gounty.He entered the Confederate army at the breaking out pf the war and made a brave soldier.After the war he married Miss Esther Gooch of Granville county,near Oxford.| Mrs.Bowden and five children sur- vive;the latter being:Mrs.J.-H.

She saw him transfer his capital from Kioto to Yedo,which was later renamed Tokio.She watched with curious interest the opening of the country to foreign commerce,its departure from_old world customs and its adoption of Western civiliza- tion.,She awaited in the imperial palace news of the Japanese armies at war first with China and then with Russia,and saw the complete evolution of Japan into a world pow- er. ‘dividual or any faction or any oth- The Raleigh ‘Meeting Met Expecta- tions,Says Mr.Poe.

Huerta Government Must Salute Stars and Stripes or Take the Con-sequences—The Day of Temporiz-ing Past—Repeated Offences Make Action Imbperative—Looks LikeWar.©saTheUnitedStatesgoyérnment last ~night epted GeneralHuerta’s offer to salute the StarsandStripesasanapologyforthearrestofAmericanbluejacketsatTampico.The Huertd govern-ment’s salute to the American flag will he answered with asalutetothetri-color of the Mexican nation.No time hasbeensetforthefiringofthe sdlute and until the detaila are arranged,no further orders will be sent to the American fleets now proceeding South.Huerta’s request that the salute be return- ed was acceded to because this is a custom of naval practice. virtually the entire Atlantic fleet to Mexican waters to force a public sa- lute to the Stars and Stripes from the Huerta government as an apology for the arrest of American marines at Tampico on Thursday,the 9th. No ultimatum has been issued,thatis,no specified time has been set within which the Huerta government must comply,but the naval demon- stration has been ardered as a con- crete evidence of the fixed determi- nation of the United States to back up Rear Admiral Mayo’s demand for a salute The decision to send the fleet was reached after the President and Sec- retary Bryan had conferred for an hour with John Lind,personal rep- resentative of the President in Mexi- co,and after a two-hour cabinet meet- ing,during which dispatches from Charge O’Shaughnessy revealed that the Huerta government disputed the right of American marines to be ashore at Tampico and _contended that its recent public statement of apology was ample. Immediately after the cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary Daniels issued his order to the Atlantic fleet, and wireless messages flashed up and down the Atlantic coast to put the fleet under steam for Tampico.—It will be the largest fighting force the American government has assembled for possible action since the Spanish- American ~“War;—Forty-six -warships and 21,000 men will comprise the force off Tampico.Everywhere,at the White House,the State Depart- ment and the Navy Department,the hope was expressed that the dispatch of the fleet would not lead to serious consequences: Wednesday the United States gov- ernment gave Provisional President Huerta final warning that unless a salute were fired to the Stars and Stripes within a reasonable time to atone “for repeated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States serious eventualities would result.” It was learned Wednesday night that General Huerta,when apprised by Charge O'Shaughnessy of the pro- posed demonstration of the Atlantic fleet,argued that the episode grows ing out of the arrest’of American bluejackets at Tampico was a fit sub-ject for arbitration at The Hague and that he would appoint a committee to investigate the incident.President Wilson,in an emphatic reply through Charge O’Shaughnessy,is understood to have’told General Huerta that the time for delay and evasion had pass- ed,and that the American govern- ment would temporize no longer.Ad-ministration officials hold that insults to the flag and questions of nationalhonorarenotsubjects.for arbitra- tion.Ail information,‘official andotherwise,that reached’Washington from Mexico City tended to show that General Huerta was unconvinced that the United States was in earnest, and thought the Washington govern- ment was bluffing.Some anti-Ameri- can demonstrations at Vera Cruz and other points were reported. Developments in Washington show- ed clearly that a determined and forceful policy had been adopted by the President which would be backed up by Congress and enforced if nec-essary by thearmy and navy-White expressing earnest hope for peace, the President ~unequivocally told members of the Senate and House committees on foreign affairs that the offenses of the de facto govern- ment at Mexico City could no longer he tolerated,and that unless Huerta complied with the American demands, seizure of the customs houses at Tampico and Vera Cruz,and even de- claration of a Pacific blockade,shut- ting off commercial intercourse with the United States,would be fully justified by precedents in internation- #!law The action of our government is not based alone on the arrest of the marines at Tampico but on numerous similar incidents,in which offenses were committed against.the rights and dignity of the United States,for which apology has been made but no serious efforts made to correct andputastoptothoseoffences,Some time ago an orderly sent ashore from an American vessel to get mail wasarrestedbutwassoonreleasedandapologywade.In another case anofficialdispatchfromthegovernmenttotheAmericanembassyatMexicoheldupforatime.The in- j ‘to CANNON AND THE WHISKEY.

Strike in Michigan Copper Mines De- clared Off. The strike of the copper miners in upper Michigan came to an end Mon- day as a result of a referendum vote taken among the members of the Western:Federation of Miners.The strike had been in effect since last July,when 13,000 men,according to the figures of the Federation,de- manded better wages and working conditions and recognition.of the Fed- eration.Managers of the mines have announced that they will re-employ all men who have not been guilty of violence as soon 2s they give up their membership in the Western Fedcra- tion of Miners,and places can be found for them.The present work-ing forces are nearly equal numeri- cally,mine managers say,to whattheywerebeforethestrike. Officers of the Federation say tlat since the strike had been declared the mine owners have changed working conditions and wages so that they subsequently met the demands of thestrikers.The strike has beon con- tinued in a vain effort to make the mine ownets récede from thier de- termination not to employ any mem- ber of the Federztion.

We have not been treated right on the good -roads..We have only about I 1-2 miles of good roads.Cool Spring has as small a per cent of de linquent tax-payers as any of our townships and we hardly ever have a case in court,although we don’t claim to be perfect.I was informed by one of our ex-county officers that the reason we didn’t have any more good roads was because we didn’t sup- port our present officers at last elec-| tion.We are glad our adjoining townships have got good roads—orthemostofthem.So let our com-missioners do something for:us and we will appreciate it,I am sure.Allweaskisafairdeal.

FRIDAY,.---April 17,1914. FLEET TO MEXICO. The moving of the fleet to Mexico Jooks like war.To tiie average citi- zen it would appear that the incident which give rise to this threat of war —for that’s what it is—is merely used as an excuse to intervene in Mexican affairs;that the’United States government,having decided it is necessary to take some action in "México,has seized upon this incident as affording the opportunity.A number of men from a United States warship,sent ashore at Tampico for supplies,were arrested.They were almost immediately released,apology was made and the officer making the arrest was punished.The naval of- ficer in command demanded as an ad- ditional apology that the Mexicans salute the United States flag by fir- ing 21 guns.This was refused.The The government has backed up the de- mand and is sending a dozen war- ships and thousands of men to Mexi- ewan enters t enforce the demand. The request will probably be complied with;it may be done by the time this is read. Explaining this action,President ‘Wilson says the present course is not prompted solely by the one incident at Tampico;that the arrest of the men from the warship is ‘only the last of a long list of offences against the dignity of the United States,for all of which apology was made but the offences go on;and it is declared that the Huerta government seemingly goes out of its way to try to offend the United States,its representatives repeatedly guilty of offences against our government—offences which are not offered representatives of other governments.Possibly Huerta is trying to get even with us for ‘not recognizing him;or he may be trying to provoke us into going into Mexico and letting him down easy before the constitutionalists get him. Anyway,we've put our hand to the plow and unless the Huerta crowd fire the 2i-gun salute,according to the regulations made and provided, we'll have to do some firing on our own account. There has beer’much talk,and in- cidentally.some criticism,of Secre- tary Daniels’order barring liquor from the navy.It is noted,however, that commendation of the order—and the order is proper and right—seems to exceed the criticism,which is ad- ditional evidence of the wonderful change of public sentiment in the last decade with respect to the use of liquor.

There are 48 head of cattle,25 of them being milch cows.Mr.Jay Low- lrance is superintendent of the barn and ‘dairy work.Mr.Cowan is man- ager of general supplies,etc. The next cottage visited was the Annie Louise.Here is where the small girls stay.Mr.George Watts built’this cottage.Miss Mliler is the matron.At the time of my visit the children were in their seats enjoying a treat of candies from the hands of the matron.I was delighted with the FOR S2-50 BIG BEN will wake you regular every morning.Surely that is all es would ask.You don’t want him to pull you out do you?Try im and see.Heis the best Alarm Clock ever.He repeats if you don’t get up and turn him off.: H.B.WOODWARD,Jeweler. orderly arrangement.The kindly ma- tron asked the girls to stand.There were two rows on different sides of the room,arranged in respect to height,from the tallest to the low- est,and dressed in uniform.It was an inspiring picture to see so many neat and orderly:children gathered from.distant and widely.separated sections of the country,under training of capable Christian instrue- tion instead of being left to the very uncertain and unreliable training HAVE YOU A CAMEO?

Yesterday at the Southern depot in this city there was an unusual occur- rence in which one corpse was mis- taken’for another and required the opening of the casket to solve the mystery.When the noon train ar- rived about 100 negroes had congre- gated.at the depot to receive the re- mains of Jo.Banner,aformer negro resident of this place who had died elsewhere.A casket was placed upon the platform,but the certificate borethenameofNettieGwynanditwas supposed that there was an enor astothename,as no such corpse was expected.The railroad and negroes were puzzled alike and it was decided to open the casket,which revealedtheremainsofabeautifulyounglady instead of the expected negro.Upon investigation it was found that MissGwyn’s parents lived in the moun- tains and had not heard of her death in Winston-Salem,where she was em- ployed.Her body was afterward car- ried to the mountains for burial.

United States Government Will Take Possession of Custom Houses ‘in Mexican ‘Cities—Congress Author- izes President to Act. In 48 hours,.possibly less,.the United States.government will have teken possession of the Mexican cus- tom houses at Tampico and Vera Cruz.This was the news that came from Washington last night. For reasons hereimaftér stated, *President Wilson appeared before Congress yesterday and asked for authority to employ the armed forces of the United States in enforcing cer- tain demands against Victoriano Huerta.By a vote of 337 to 37 the House passed the following: “Resolved,-by the Senate andHouseofRepresentativesinCongress assembled,that the President of the United States is justified in the em-ployment of the armed forces of the“United -Stutes to enforce the demands upon Victoriano Huerta for ,unequi- vocal amends to the government of the United States for affronts and in- ‘dignities committed against this gov- ernment by General Huerta and his representatives.” The resolution was before the Sen- ate at a late hour and_jt is presumed passed that body.The President made it clear that this is not a war against Mexico or a war at all.It is simply the purpose to use the nec- essary force to enforce the demands made.: The American fleet is expected to arrive 4t Tampico tomorrow and pro- ceed to business. This action doesn’t mean war of itéclf.The ports may be seized and retained witMout firing a shot;and then again we may have to do some- thing else. After having agreed,last Thurs-day,to the demand of the UnitedStatesthata21-gun salute be firedtotheStarsandStripes,as anapologyonthepartofMexicofortiearrestoftheAmericanbluejackets at Tampico on Thursday,the 9th,Gen.Huerta changed his mind nextdayandbegantobackandfill.InmakingthedemandonHuerta,Ad- miral Mayo,in command of the American.warships at Tampico,stated that the salute would be ré!turned by his ship,this being in ac-cordance with naval custom and usage the world over.The trouble, which was supposed to.be settled Thursday night,was reopened Fri- day by Huerta asking that the sa- lute by the Amercian ship be fired simultaneously with the Mexican salute,and it was given out by the minister of foreign affairs at Mexieo City that the return salute would be a tacit recognition of the Huerta government.These facts are setforthonanotherpageofTheLand- mark.The demand for a simultan-eous salute was refused and it was also made clear that there was noth- ing in the procedure to be regardedasarecognitionoftheHuertagov-ernment,expressed or implied. Saturday Huerta continued his temporizing by insisting on the si- multaneous salute.He-was notified that no further parleying would beenduredandthatunlessthedemandoftheAmericangovernmentwascompliedwithby6o'clock Sundayevening,this government would deal with the matter in its own way.Fortunately the warships ordered toMexicolastTuesdayhadnotbeenor-dered to change their course andpreparationsfortroublewenton apace. The Climax Sunday, The climax was reached Sunday evening when,after a day spent in exchange of messages,the Mexican government refused to comply with the demand.The following dispatch from Mexico City,sent out Sunday night,states the case briefly: “Senor Portillo y Rojas,foreign minister,announced tonight that it would be ithpdéssible to agree to the demand of the United “States thattheflagofthatcountrybeuncondi- tionally saluted,because that flag was not insulted,because it was notflyingfromthelaunch’and becausethemarinesweresetfreeandthattheofficerresponsibleforthearrestswashimselfarrestédand_held for trial. “The foreign minister further an- nounced that the Mexican govern- ment would agree that both flags besaluted,the American flag first andthentheMexicanflag,this arrange-ment to be made by a protocol signed by the American charge d’affairs,Nelson O’Shaughnessy,and the Mex- ican foreign minister.4 ’ “The United.States .government, Senor Portillo declared,had -refusedpermissiontoChargeO'Shaughnessytosignsuch.a protocol,and demand-ed an unconditional salute by Mexi- co,which Mexico felt was iblewithherdignity.“(Mexico has yielded as much asherdignitywillBreMexicotrusts :foutiesof SeAmateur pepe’”the Amefican pe 4Havingfailedtosecure¢Regd the simultaneousovertimentcountered ss_and.spirit of |: BOWER CALLED AND FAILED.

The speakers not only favored the building and the site but they want ed a building that would be a credit to Statesville and the only doubt ex pressed was that the amount asked for might not be sufficient to pay for the site and erect a creditable build ing.At the close of the discussio: the audience expressed itself in favor of the bond issue by a rising vote.

Correspondence of The Landmark. Mooresville,April 20.—-Rev.Frank S‘ler,Missionary Secretary of theWesternNortCarolinaConference, arrived in Mooresville.I:st night onhiswaytotheRockSpringscircuit,where he will speak today and to-night.This mornitig he will.talk to the congregation at Rehobeth church, this afternoon at Mt.Pleasant and to- night at Dewiver. Mr.Siler,along with Dr.Mann and the pastors,is making.a ful!itinerary of the Statesville district with sev- eral goals in view.First,during the year 5,000 conversions,3,000 of whom arc to be by accession.Second,as- sessments on all charges to be pa‘d in full.Third,every Sunday school to be a missionary society with monthly collections for Dr:Bowen of China, whose expenses are met by the Sun- dey schools of this district.R.L. Snow of Taylorsville is lay leader of this district and has this work in charge.Fourth,a foreign missionsurplus-of,$1.000 and-a-home_missionsurplusofthesamefmount,he charges at Hickory and Newton have arranged to raise the amount for foreign missions and Mr.Siler is at work now trying to raise the other thousand for home missions.The work so far in the district is very en- couraging,Mr.Siler states,and there is every indication that the goal will be reached.The thousand home mis- sion special will be used to open new work in the Statesville district. The regular quarterly communion services were held at the First Pres- byterian church on Friday,Saturday and Sufiday and the regular house- hold meeting Sunday afternoon. There was no service Sunday night. The protracted meeting at the Methodist church,which has been in progress for a week,will continue throughout this week.Mrs.Carrie Hawkins of Clifton Forge;Va.,who has been engaged in church work in this State for some time,made an address to the Associate Reformed Presbyterian congregation last nightphasesofhomemissionworkin the western section of the Staté. Mrs.Hawkins is visiting the various charges of*the church in interest of this cause. Mrs.Shuford of 5 ived, Saturday night and is visiting her parents,Mr.and Mrs.J.H.Walters. Messrs.A.L.Byrd of Charlotte and and J.B.Douthit of Clemmons were visitors in town over Sunday. It seems to be the concensus of opinion here that General Huerta and his gang in Mexico need a “lickin’- and may possibly get it,but so far Mooresvillians are not running over each other to become active partici- pants.It seems from what you can hear that every fellow would be glad to “see it done”if he had long-dis- tance eyes.So far there are more on the side lines than on the field, so far as Mooresville is actively con- cerned.

And the Elmwood folks,when they found that a robber had visited a store there,serit for bloodhounds.If in a case of that sort it is thought absolutely necessary to have.dogs, time could be saved by gathering up a few rabbit aoe in the neighbor- hood.They..would do as.much good —or more, ** Two instances of open and brazen defiance of law.occurred recently— one in Virginia and.one in Oklaho- ma—and it is a pleasure to record that the law prevailed,although it was necessary.to resort to strenuous measures.At Norfolk the law pro- hibiting betting at the race tracks was openly disregarded until the Governor of Virginia threatened to send troops to suppress it.Then the gambling stopped.At Tusla,Okla- homa,an exactly similar event was staged.The race track proceeded to business and open bets were received and-recorded.Then the Governor declared the place under martial law and placed troops in charge.It was necessaryfor troops to—fire one vol- jéy over the heads of the race track people and threaten to fire the next volley direct before the gambling stopped.With all our boasting of our civilization and righteousness, America is,for a country that pro- fesses a high state of civilization, the most lawless country on earth. .** The correspondent who suggests keeping a record of voters who cast their votes in the Democratic pri- maries in this county,is on the right track.We have no legal regulations to govern the primaries and unfortu- nately in some instances they -have been rather loosely.conducted.Re- publicans and others not qualified voters have been allowed to vote;in some instances men hawé had so little regard for the right that they boast- ed of voting more than once,and in other cases attempts have been made to stuff the ballot boxes.It was brought out two years ago,that in one Statdsville*ward a bunch of tickets for one candidate,evidently shoved into the box by one voter,was discovered by the poll-holders,-This sort of thing—mot confined to any one faction—has caused considerable feeling and any regulation that will ‘insure a fair vote should be adopted. A list of names of all those voting and a comparison of the names on the poll list with the number of votes cast—disputes to be settled by the committee or the county convention —is a reasonable requirement. ** According to the regulations made and provided in this State,the voter liable for poll tax must pay that tax on or before May ist or he can’t vote in an election that year.This means that unless the voter who is liable for poll tax pays the tax on or be- fore.the first day of next month,he can’t vote in the elections this year. This poll tax provision isn’t always enforced.The law is violated,some- times openly.Many voters—a sur- prisingly large number—purposely nelect their poll tax on the idea that the politicians who want their votes will either pay it or “arrange” the matter for them.This is all wrong,of course,but unfortunately many things:are permitted in poli- tics that won't bear the light of day. The voter who doesn’t think enough of the franchise to pay his poll tax should be disfranchised;and the self- respecting citizen who wants to vote —and every good citizen should vote free from any entangling _alli- ances,will see to it that his poll tax record is straight before May 1st. We can’t say that if you don’t pay you won’t be allowed to vote,but if the law is complied with you will not and should not be permitted to ex- ercise the privilege. *”. At last a record vote on the mile- age graft has been forced in Con- gress and when it came to going on record the graft was overwhelming- ly eliminated.The House voted.by 237 to 95 to allow members only the actual expenses of travel in lieu of 20 cents mileage for each session of Congress.The allowance of 20 cents a mile for one trip to and from Washington for each session of Con- gress was fixed years ago When the cost of travel was nitich higher than it is now.The present cost of trav- el is 2 cents a mile,possibly 3 count- ing Pullman fares.This 17 cents more than the actual cost of trans-portation for each mile traveled was drawn from the Treasury.”For Some years efforts have been made to eliminate this shameless graft.Some members brazenly defended it -—-OQldjo Cannon being one when he was in the House—and the great ma- jority voted for it so long as they were not forced to go on record. This time,however,the anti -graftaweresufficientlystrongto‘orce @ record vote and the indefen-sibleness of the graft is evident when it is shown that rather than go on -vecord as voting for the old system,a substitute provision was adopted,that members should be paid actualcostoftransportationonly,by a voteof2387to.95.All the.North Caroli- na Representatives except Gudger ofthetenthdistrictandSmallofthefirst,who were not present or didnotvote,voted for the change.Mr.Doughton of his district voted for>amendment to reduce salaries $7,500 to.$6,000,but-this was,Mr,Page has for someyearsfoughtthemileageallowance.A proposition to increase the allow- sy INO Lele ae ance for clerk hire for each memberfrom$1,500 to $1,800 yearly was fa-yored by one North Carolina Repre-sontative—Mr.Pou of the Raleis)district,Gudger,Small and Kitchinwerenotrecorded.-Aljl the othersvotedagainsttheincrease.Thepropositiontoeliminatethemileage graft is yet to pass the Senate andtmayfailtherethistimebutit will win finally.The Senators havetobeelectedbythepeopleanditisthefactthatthepeoplearesittingupandtakingnoticethathas.pro-duced this spasm of virtue in Con- Bernehasaccepted a call to the Bap-tist church of Spencer,effective May ist.

I don’t have to die to win;if I live.15,20,25 or 30 years I can settle my policy in the way best suited to my needs at that time. If I live,I create a fund for my own use in old age,or, it I die,I create an estate for my-loved ones.It is the most valuable estate I can leave,more certain than lands,houses,stocks or bonds. It lends its money in my community. It is managed and controlled by Southern men of known ability and integrity for the good of the communities in which it does business. It can and does invest its funds at a more profitable rate of interest than most of the larger companies,policy- holders reaping the benefit thereof. It being a younger company,its death rate is naturally lower than that of older companies,which means further saving to the policyholders. Its management is in the hands of a Board of Directors who are among the most prudent and successful bus- iness men in the country,many ot whom are known to you,and whose integrity and ability insures for the Atlantic an able,progressive and economical management.

Gov.Blease of.South Carolina wired President Wilson Sunday night that the South Carolina National Guard “and’as many other men as you need”were ready to go to Mexi- eco and that he (Blease)would go at the head of the South Carolina troops when the call is made.If troops have to be sent to Mexico we hope the President will let Blease go and will see to it that he géts well on the front of the firing line,The people who profess so much zeal to fight should have the opportunity. “Things are not what they used to be,”.mournfully remarks the editor -of the Greensboro Record.Contin- wing he sadly relates that the com- missioner of public safety of Greens- boro ‘and the sheriff of Guilford county are determined to suppress betting at the ball games in Greens- boro this summer.Judging by the tone of his remarks one might think that Editor Reece,who is an ardent baseball fan,had éxpected ‘to make a little on the side by backing his judg- ment at the games and is"somewhat disappointed at the turn of affairs. Cheer up,colonel,.A dead game sport such as you are should find a way. The notice of the death of an emi- nent man in London contained these words:“His wife and family will re- spect his urgent desire that no out- ward sign of mourning should be worn.”In referring to this notice the London Times says:“The*prac- tice of wearing mourning has long been sliding into disuse,and probably the next 20 years will see it abandon- ed altogether’at any rate among the Wealthier people.”According to the London paper,all badges of woe are disappearing from.fynerals.The black Tosettes on the horses’bridles and the ‘@repe on the hats and sleeves are seen seldom.So it is with black- edged writing paper and black-edged ‘eards.It is all going,because mourn- sing is not needed,either for memory “or respect.Says the Times: “Those whose sympathy we valuewillgiveitus,without our adver- tising.for it;it will seem all but in- decent to go about the world demand-:.sympathy of strangers. ~“And if we believe that those who‘have left us have still the power to “ot e doings we must believe it is our hearts,not our clothes,:they will read.” |Speed the day when the habiliments"ft woe will be discarded,The idea ‘that it is showing proper respect for the dead is fallacious.It is followed because it is custom.It is what we “feel inwardly,not the outward show, tells of respect for the dead;and is a heathenish custom that re- wit a Woman to shroud herself in ck,tegardiess of her health or ifort,simply to advertise the fact That she is a widow.The custom is founded on reason or common Away”with it. |manifesting no zealto.volunteer and s\erally.If acall for volunteerscomes helpaeit,%i Rye ii i efgen- there will be volunteers of course, but those who are Joudest in demand- ing that the country go to war and who are indignant because the gov- ernment is slow about it,will not be conspicuous-in the ranks.It -was that way when theSpanish-Ameri- can war came onin,1898 and it has always been that way,we suppose, “In fact the ranks of those who wear uniforms and brass buttons and are conspicuous on dress parade in times of peace,are usually greatly thinned when the guns begin to shoot in dead earnest.There are plenty of patri- otic people who will go readily when it is necessary,but when the tumult and the shouting dies those who have been most anxious,to hear them talk,are not generally found on the firing line, OPPOSE ROCKEFELLER HELP.

Mafriage at Stony.Point. Correspondence of The Landmark. Stony Point,April 20—A quiet but pretty home wedding took place Monday,13th,at 8.30 o’clock p.m., at the home of Mrs.Fannie White, when her daughter,Mrs.Cora Beck- ham,became the bride of Mr.Arthur Beckham,both of Stony Point,the ceremony being performed by the bride’s pastor,Rev.Mr.Wagg.Mr.Beckham is a young man of high character,is a successful farmer and is also interested in the Stony Point Roller Mills.Mrs.Béckham for two years and up until a year ago held apositionassaleslady.at W.W.Fou- shee’s store in Statesville.While there she made a host of friends,She is in all respects av excellent womanandtoknowheristoloveher.Hermany.friends join in wishing her and or Evil to thejections,ee Progressive Farmer.« It is quite likelforminginthewillmeanmorefor our onersasaclassthananythingsincetheinventionoftheWerefertotheDukeoeIthasalmostunlimitedforgoodorevil,andeveryagencyhavingbilities fhooves wel-fare of the farmers at 7 for our farmers to take steps to seethattheirinterestsarecar-safe- guarded.In the Northwest theelevatortrusthasprovedoné the most dangerous enemies of the farm-ers’welfare,and cotton warehousingoffersevengreaterop me the tiller of the soil. f a gigantic system is establish- ed with national and even internationalfame,its official certificates afidgradesuniversallyacceptedalikebygreat.manufacturing and great fin-ancial interests,it is not unlikely compel the farmer to store his eot-ton in the Duke warehouse-in that anofficialDukewarehousecertificate with sample attached will be theStandardbasisofsale.Then with the bulk of the South’s cotton in ware-houses principally owned by the man-ufacturers,and largely directed bythemanwhohaskeptthetobaccofermersofAmericaforyearsina state of financial slavery,who knowswhat-would happen?=E to.Mark Twain,EveonceremarkedaboutAdam’s singing,“The more I hear of it the more I do not get reconciled to it.””We confesswefeelthesamewayabouttheDukewarehousingscheme.With Mr. Duke as the chief exponent of ‘the new idea,there is a certain old say-ing about a burnt child and anothersayingaboutGreckgiftswhichcome involuntarily to mind.Mr.Duke,like Saul of Tarsus,may have suffered some miraculous conversion,but hemustn’t blame the farniers if theyaskforlongandindubitableproofsofhisrepentance.: It is the new currency bill whichnowmakesthewarehousingproposi- tion especially inviting to Mr.Dukeandthemanufacturers.But if it’s.a good proposition for them to control the cotton crop,why isn’t it just as good a plan for the farmers to buildco-operative warehouses and controlitthemselves?Why shouldn’t they get all the profits on the commodity that their toil and sweat have brought forth from the earth?~Certainly unless some definite plan-for safe- guarding the farmers’interests is presented,this is what they ought to do. FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT. Suggestions For Upbuilding the Town Inspired Suggestions For Upuilding the County—County Urged to Co-operate With Town. Correspondence of The Landmark. Troutman—The correspondent ofTheLandmarkwhohasbeentalking about the town has given many food suggestions for the moral,social and financial improvement of the town people.We that live in the country are interested in the upbuilding of the town,because we know that toimprovethetownwillalsoimprove the country;and to improve the country.will.improve the town. What we want now is co-operation (at least some of us do)between the town and country to make Iredell county the best county in the State. It seems to me that the town peoplearemorereadytoco-operate withusthanwearetoco-gperate with them.We in>the country*must catch the spirit of progress that has caught our town friends.We mustdeveloptheresourcesoftheruralsections.We that are farmers must farm the modern way,the scientific way;we rust.sod these barren fields,so plentiful in the South,with clover and grass and put blooded cattle on them;we must make our fields larger and use the modern implenients that have been placed on the market for the bonefit of the farmers;we must use moréhorselaborandlesshumaniabor; we must not forget the rural church, for there is no good rural communi- ty where there is no good church.The development of the country isawonderfulwork.To build up the rural sections we rural people must get together and study the problems that confront us,such as production, marketing and many other things, Agriculture must go forward or backward.The way to make it goforwardistodeviseaplantokeep a.large proportion of the bright minds and ambitious characters ‘on the farms, Farm Lands in Brunswick.

Rain Delays‘*Planting Crops—Utiliz- ing the Good Roads. Correspondence of The Landmark. Turnersburg,April 20—We have had lots of wet weather and all farm work is being delayed on account of so much rain.Some have no land ready for seeding and it is high time for planting.Maybe this is an unu- sually late spring and if so we might have a late fall and come out all right;but if we have a late spring and an early.fall it will cut the crop very short,The wheat is lookinggoodandtheprospectforagood crop is very encouraging. The wind soon gets the good roads in traveling order and they are used to the fullest capacity,as the lum- ber wagons are getting to be numer- ous,and farmers are.very busy haul- ing out their fertilizer.

When we were a kidlette almost every man you met in cold weather wore a shawl.It was the rule,rather than the exception,to see a man with a shawl instead of an overcoat.Now- a-days you hardly ever see.a man with a shawl.Dr.Mott thought pos- sibly it looked a little bit too femi- nine—he knew no other reason.We would really like to know-why-the shaw!went out from man’s wearing apparel,because it kept one warmer, was much more convenient than the overcoat.We do not recall seeing a man with a shawl for 20 years.The i big blanket carried by Dr.Mott is as near to it as anything we have seen.NR Doughton Has Made Good and Has No Opposition.

Corporation Commission Makes Or- der As to Express Rates. The State corporation commission has made an order,effective July 15, with reference to intra-State express rates,the order being based on that made for the entite country by the Inter -State Commerce Commission. The corporation.commission has not ---adopted-the-inter-State-commission’s~scheme in-its entirety,insisting that for State purposes there should be a modification:of the short-haul rates, which reduces the minimum rate.on) merchandise from 65 cents the 100 pounds to 50 cents and the second- class rate,covering practically all food products,from 49 cents to 38 cents the 100 pounds.The new basis of express rates will have the effect of raising some of the present rates, because the present system of ex- press rates is in.many respects thoroughly illogical,some of,the rates being extremely low,in some eases in fact being no higher than the first-class freight rate,and in .gome cases the rates being extremely high.The decrease,it is stated,willbemuchgreaterthantheincrease. One advantage of the change,it isexplained,is that express rates andclassificationstoallimportantpoints‘will be furnished patrons. “Senator Overman Would Increase Al-lowance to States.

The Orange county road 5s,dueApril 1,1958,were quoted’at 103 1-2,and interest,yielding about 4,80 per cent. These New York brokers pay high tribute to the resources of Iredell and‘ Orange counties,and in this way Ire- dell and our good roads are getting some advertising. Very often we think we know things when we don’t.A good many people honestly believed that,Por- firio Diaz,for 30 years the nomt- nal President of.the Republic of Mexico but in reality a dictator who ruled the country with a rod of iron, was an unjust oppressor of the Mex- jean people and should be removed. Probably.he did unjustly oppress the people;while ruling with the firm- ness necessary to control that turbu- lent people,he might have improv- ed conditions.But however that may be,in view of what has taken place in Mexico since they run the old man out of the country,the be- lief that it takes a man of his type to keep peace in Mexico is natural; and it probably would have been best for Mexico;the United—States—and the world had Diaz's.successor been a man of his type.Diaz,by the way,now 84 years old and in feeble health,is still living abroad and is at present at Monte Carlo. ..” Now and again the newspapers fall to discussing the hog who appropri- ates from two to four seats on rail- read trains when he has paid for but one seat,while other passengers who have paid as much fare stand.No amount of talk will have any effect on the le who refuse to consid- er the rights of others.In the rail- road case The Landmark has always insisted that the only remedy is for trainmen <o give some attentien to seating passengers.In these days of ticket-takers,when the ©conductor seems to be a figure head,that of- ficial might give his attention to help- ing passengers get seats,especially when overcrowded coaches is the rule rather than the exception.The av- erage passenger would rather stand than to foree himself into a_seat where the occupant shows plainly that he doesn’t want company;but if conductor or porter would remove the baggage of the hog and make him give room,the passenger for whom the space was provided would feel that he had as much right as the first occupant.It'S the business of the trainmen —the conductor especially—to remedy this situation and they negleet their duty in not doing it.A few of them give some attention to it,but very few. *s That -the inequalities in the assess- ment of real estate in Mecklenburg county,which has resulted in an order for reassessment by the State tax commission,exist as alleged,we have no doubt.But it should be said in justice to Mecklenburg that the same inequalities exist in practically every county in the State,as is well known to all observers of tax assessments. Mecklenburg is not,therefore,a sif- ner above all the other counties any more than were those on whom the tower at Siloam fell sinners above all.other sinners..The inequalities in assessments and the rank injustice by which some citizens pay more taxes.in proportion to what they own thati other citizens,has existed all these years as:a result of.a system that is a shame and a disgrace to the State}.but a system which our law-makers,as a result of peanut politics,have refused to change lest a@ chafige might disturb those in of- fice.The reassessment in Mecklen- burg,if made as it should be,will be more just so far as local condi- tions are concerned,but it will be very unjust to Mecklenburg in the matter of State taxes;for while un- der a fair assessment.that county would be paying what it is due the State,other counties,continuing un- “der the urifair assessment,would—not be paying what is due. .*. It appears that in voting to cut out the mileage,graft.a few days ago the.House of Congress was not as virtuous as might be supposed.While knocking out the 20 cents mileage al- lowance,which is,graft pure and sim- ple,the measure provides not alone for the actual traveling expenses of the members and Senators but for numbers of their families also. Whether there is any restriction as to the number of persons in a family a Senator or member may transport to Washington at government ex- pense,The Landmark doesn’t know, but as a matter of fact the govern- ment has no more business paying the transportation of a Congresssman’sfamilythanithastopayboardandlodgingandlaundrybillsforhis family.It is the Congressman the government is paying a salary for his time and that salary is to take care of his family.But some of the braz-én grafters in the national capitol would quarter their entire families @n the public Treasury if they could.However,it seems impossible to re- miove all the graft at one blow and we should be thankful a start ismade.Under the old system aPhilippinecommissionerreceived$2,- 000 each session for mileage.Thecostofaroundtriptickettothe Philippines,‘including steamboat and Pullman berths and meals,is $386 A member of Congress living at Seattle,Wash.,gets $1,300 a sessionformileage.A round trip ticketfromWashiintoSeattle,includ-ing Pullman s and meals,-is$185.This will give an idéa of the .amount.of the rakeoff under the old "Blood Spilt in the’ Port of Vera Cruz,_Afternoon—FourandTwenty Vera*Cruz®Mexico,Dispatch,21st. Vera Cruz tonight is in the hands of forces from the United States warships but the occupation of the port was not accomplished without loss of American lives.Four Amer- icans,bluejackets and marines,were killed by the fire of the Mexican ‘sol- diers and 20:fell wounded.The Mex- ican loss is not known,but it is:be- lieved to have been heavy.re The water front,the customs house and all important piers,in- cluding those under the terminal works from “which extend the rail- roads to the capital,have been occu- pied.All the territory around the American consulate is strongly pa- trolled and detachments hold other sections of the city. The Mexican commander,—Gen. Gustavo Maas,offeted a stubborn resistance to the American advance, and for-many hours there was fight- ing in the streets.Toward nightfall it was reported that the main body of the Federal garrison was in re- treat to the westward, Rear Admiral Fletcher,command- ing the United States warships,pre- faced his oecupation of the port by a demand,through the American con- sul,W.U.Canada,for its surrender, General Maas promptly declined to wecede--t6.this demand—and.shortly afterwards 10 whaleboats were sent off from the side of the transport Prairie,loaded with marines.These boats effected a landing in the neigh- borhood of the customs house be- fore noon and a few minutes later Capt.William R.Rush of the bat- tleship Florida,who was in command of the operations ashore,brought his flag in. 605 Men Disembark. Captain Rush’s men already had taken up their positions.They num- bered 150 bluejackets from the Flori- da,390 marines from the Prairie and 65 marines from the Florida.Later these were augmented by.a.detach- ment from the Utah. The coming of the American forces was not heralded by any great ex- citement,but small crowds gathered to watch the landing.‘Soon the blue- jackets and marines marched through the streets leading from the water front and,along the railroad yards. Others proceeded to the American consulate,while still others were de- ployed along the approaches to cen- tral plaza,in which General.Maas had concentrated his men. Mexicans Fire Volley. These maneuvers _were effected without opposition,but.suddenly General Maas challenged the advance with the first shots—a volley fired from a point three blocks from the marines and two blocks south of the main plaza. The marines replied immediately but the action ceased in a moment. There was a lull for 10 minutes and’:then another brief exchange from the west end of Montesinos street,where a Federal outpost was stationed.At 12:30 the firing be- came general and at 1 o’clock the guns of the transport Prairie went into action. Marines Destroyed Mexican Tower. Prior to this a detachment of bluejackets from the Utah,holding the ground between the consulate and the water front,opened with two of their three-inch guns.The first shots from these pieces were directed against the ancient Bonito Juarez tower,occupied by Mexican sharp- shooters.Lieutenant Commander Buchanan of the Florida ordered that it be destroyed.Five shots brought the old tower down. The women of the American colony in Vera Cruz had heen placed aboard the chartered steamers Es- peranza and Mexico but the foreign colony,especially the American sec- tion,was greatly augmented this morning when three trainloads ar- rived from the capital.Some of these remained ashore but many were tak- en aboard the steamers....So-far as ean be learned no refugees were in- jured. “The feason for thettction“Puesday +t was the understanding’that a Ger- man merchant ship was about to en- ter the port of Vera Cruz with a load of arms and ammunition for the Mexican government.It was to.pre- vent the landing of the arms that Rear Admiral Fletcher,commanding the American warship at Vera Cruz, was ordered to seize the port. Less than half an hour after leav- ing the side of the United StatestransportPrairie,the marines.had landed and the absence of resistance at the water front and failure of the Mexicans to contest the taking of a position somewhat in from.the water front caused the curious spec- tators in the street to laugh,and when one Mexican peon ran for cover,hav- ing had the‘temerity to shout at the top-of his voice,“Viva Mexico!”loud guffaws came from the onlookers. But the lull was not indicative of compliance.A few shots came with- in a few minutes and latera brief ex- change.After another brief’interval, fighting in earnest began and hour after hour the Mexicans continued to oppose the Americans fiercely in some quarters,although the main body apparently seemed ready to quit. Most of the firing was done by out- post parties from roofs at various points of vantage.The guns of the Prairie assisted the landing party. Towards evening the fighting con- tinued,but it was more of a house-top character than a determined,or- ganized resistance.Finally,the Mex- ican soldiers who had not been cap- tured,killed or wounded,.retreated westward..

His Statement of the Incidents Léad-ing to the Mexican Crisis As MadetoCongress.. ‘As a matter of,information’and the history of the facts bearing on the present trouble with Mexico,thestatementofthePresidentto~Gon- gress is of interest...It follows: Gentlemen of the Congress:It is my duty to call your atien- tion te a sitnation which has arisen in our dealings with Gen.Victoriano Huerta at Mexico City,which calls for action,and to ask your ativice and co-operation in acting wpon ‘it. the U.$.8S.Iturbide ‘bridge landing at Tampico with a whaleboat and boat’s crew totakeoffcertainsuppliesneededbyhisship,and while engaged in load- ing the boat was arrested by an offi-cer and squad of men.of the army ofGen.Huerta.-Neithcr the paymas- ter nor any one of the boat’s-crewwesarmed,Two of .the men were in the boat when the arrest tookplaceandwere..6bliged to leave.itandsubmittobeingtakenintocus- tody,*notwithstanding the fact thatthebéatcarried,both at her bow and her stern,the flag of the United States.The officer who made thearrestwasproceedinguponeofthestreetsofthetownwithhisprison-ers when met byan officer of higher authority,who ordered him to return to the landing and await orders;andwithinanhourandahalffromthe time of the arrest orders were re- ecived.from.the commander.of the Huertista forces at Tampico for the telease of the paymaster and—his meri The “réteise was “fotlowedby apologies from the commander andlaterbyanexpressionofregret.by Gen.Huerta himself. Gen.Huerta urged that martial law obtgined at the time at Tampi- co;that orders had been ‘issued that no one should be allowed to land atj the Iturbide bridge;and that sailors had no right to land there. Our naval commanders—at-—the—“port conetitabion,%has no4.|Gen.Huerta has set his On the 9th of April a paymaster of| Dolphin landed at the! our|, the City of Mexico,suchwithoutrightandmethodswhichtherecanbenojustification.}- underOnlypartofthecountryis his control.If armed conflict shouldunhappilycomeasaresult.of his at-titude of personal resentment to-wards this government,we shouldbefightingonlyGen.Huerta andthosewhoadheretohim-and givehimtheirsupport,and our ~objectwouldbeonly’to restore to the peo-ple of the.distracted republic the}opportunity to set up again their ownlawsandtheirowngovernment,But I earnestly hope that war isnotnowinquestion.+I believe that I speak for when I say that we do not desire tocontrolinanydegreetheaffairsofoursisterrepublic.Our feeling for the peaple is one of deep and genu-ine friendship,and everything that we have so far done or refrained from doing has proceeded from ourdesireto-help them,not.to hinder.or embarrass them.We would not wishevento@xercisethegoodofficesoffriendship.withqut their welcome andconsent.The people of Mexico areentitledtosettlethéir.own domestic affairs in their Own way,and we’sin-cerely desire to respect their right. The present situation need have.none of the grave implications of interfer-nee if we deal with it promptly, firmly and wisely. No doubt I could do what is neces- sary in the cireumstances to force respect for our government without recourse to the Congress,and.yet net exceed my_constitutional powersasPresident;but I do not wish toactin,a matter possibly of so -grave consequence except in-close confer- ence and co-operation with hoth theSenate-and House.therefore,-cometoaskyourapproval]that I should/© use the armed forces of the United States in such ways and to such anextentasmaybenecessarytoobtainfromGen,Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition of the rightsanddignityof.the United States, amidst the distressing —condi- unhappily obtaining in even ions now Mexico. There.can in what we do be no had not’been notified of any such prohibition;end even if they had} been,the only justifiable course open} to the local suthorities.would his ¢rew to withdraw and to ledge a}protest with.the commanding officer| of the fleet.Admiral Mayo regard- ed the arrest «sso serious an affront} that he was not satisfied with apologies offered but demanded that the flag.of the United States be sa- military commander of the port. The incident cannot.be regarded} as a trivial one,especially as two of the men were taken from the boat itself—that is to say,from the terri- it stood by itself it might have been attributed te the ignorance or arro- gance of a single officer.Unfortun ately it was not an isolated case.A series of incidents have recently oc { curred which cannot but create the impression that the representatives of Gen.Huerta were willing to go} out of their way to show disregard for the dignity and rights of this| }governnent and felt perfectly safe in|«} @ »4 doing what they pleased,making free! to show in many ways their i rita-| tion and contempt.A few days af-} ter the incident at Tampico an or=}derly from the U.S.S.Minnesota was arrested at Vera Cruz while} ashore in uniform to obtain the} ship’s mail and was for a time threwn into jail.An official dis- patch from this government to its embassy at Mexico City was with-held by the authorities of the tcle- graphic service and peremptorily de- manded by our charge d'affaires in person.So far as I can learn such been suffered to occur only against repre- sentatives of the United States.I have heard of no complaints from other governments of similar treat-ment.Subsequent..explanations and formal apologies did not and couldnotalterthepopularimpression, which it is possible it had been the object of the Huertista authoritiestocreate,that the government of the United States was being singled out,and might be singled out with impu- nity,-for slights and affronts in re- taliation for its refusal to recognizethepretensionsofGen.Huerta to beregarded,..as..the constitutional pro-visional President of the Republic ofMexico. The manifest danger of such a sit- uation was that such offenses might grow from bad to worse until some-thing happened of so gross and in- tolerable a sort «as to lead directly and inevitably to armed conflict.It was necessary that the apologies of Gen.Huerta and .jhis representatives should go much further,that they should be such as to attract the at- tention of the whole population to their significance,and such as toimpressuponGen,Huerta himself the necessity of seeing to it that no further occasion for explanations and professed regrets should arise: I,therefore,felt it my duty to sus- tain Admiral Mayo in the whole ofhisdemandandtoinsistthattheflag of the United States should be sa- luted in such a way as to indicate a new spirit and attitude on the part of the Huertistas, Such a;salute Gen.Huerta has re- fused,and I have come to ask yourapprovalandsupportinthecourseI now propose to pursue.

Carranza note up to a late hour Wed- nesday night but Constitutionalist representatives in Washington had told him the substance of it.Carran-za pointed put that the seizure of Vera Cruz would be regarded by the Mexican people as a hostile act,and that it was advisable for the United States to withdraw its troops from Vera Cruz just as soon as Was prac- ticable.Carranza agreed with Pres-ident Wilson that Huerta did not rep- resent the Mexican nation but on the other hand feared the Mexican peo- ple might be inflamed and drawn in- to a conflict which would make themsacrificestotheusurpations‘of Huerta.Genera)Carranza.described the Constitutionalists successes,say- ing that Huerta was slowly being crushed and that the Constitutional- ists soon would be in possession oftheMexicoCitygovernment.When they triumphed,he pointed out,am- ple reparation would be made for all % offenses.In the meantime he wished the United States to take no stopswhichwouldexcitetheMexicanpop- ulace. Future steps as.to the course in Mexico,says the Washington report, are uncertain.The President has deé- termined that his course shall be gradual.No orders have been issued to seize the customs house at Tampi-co.It is the purpose of the admin-istration to keep order in Vera CruzandawaitthefolleffectonHuerta of the first American act of reprisal.

And a Report ThatThat it is ‘Accepted— Our Government Willing if NothElseeeveearesBraziandChileaeBringAbout Peace. Spanish kubeidabie Riano an-noonced late Sunday night that he had received private advices fromMexicoCitystatingthatGeneralHuertahadacceptedtheofferofAr- gertina,Brazil and Chile to use their godd offices to bring about an amica-ble’settlement of the difficulty be-tween the United States and Mexico.‘This information,though ‘tnofficial,was accepted as authentic by the am-bassador,who expected to be prepar-ed to place General Huerta’s formalacceptancebeforetherepresentatives of t three South Americen coun- tries yesterday.The interests of the Huerta government in e¢UnitedStatesweretakenoverbytheSpan- *ish embassy when Charge Alara left Washington. Saturday evening the Brazilian _pmbassador.and the ministers fromArgentinaandChilecalleduponSee- retary Bryan to discuss with him the possibilities of arranging an amica-ble solution of the Mexican situa- tion through the good offices of their respective governments.They made a formal offer as follows:“Mr.Secretary of State: “With the purpose of subservingtheinterestofpeaceandcivilization in our continent,and with the earn- est desire to prevent any further bloodshed to the prejudice of the cor- diality and union which have always surrounded the relations of the gov-ernments and the people of America, we,the plenipotentiaries of Brazil, Argentina and Chile,duly,authorized hereto,have the honor to tender toyourExcellency’s government our wood offices for the peaceful andfriendlysettlementoftheconflictbe- tween the United States and Mexico.“This offer puts in due form the suggestions which we have had occa~ sion to offer heretofore on this.sub- ject to the Secretary,to whom:we re- new the assurances of our highest and most distinguished considera-~ tion.” This offer was laid before Presi- dent Wilson,who made the following wp he government of the ~United States is deeply sensible of thefriendliness,the good feeling and thegenerousconcernforthepeaceand good offices of your governments to effect,if possible,a settlement of the present difficulty between the gov- ernment of the United States and those who now claim to represent our sister republic of Mexico,“Consciops of the purpose with which the proffer is made,this gov- ernment does not fee)at liberty to de- cline it.Its own chief interest is in the peace of America,the cordia)in-tercourse of her republics and theirpeopleandthehappinessantlpros- perity which can spring only out offrank,mutual understanding and the friendship which is created by com-mon purpose,The generous offer of your governments is therefore ac- cepted. “This government hopes most carn-estly that you may find those whospeakfortheseveralelementsoftheMexicanpeoplewillingandready to discuss terms of satisfactory, and,therefore,permanent.settlement. If you should find them willing thisgovernmentwillbegladtotakeupwithyoufordiscussioninthefrank-est.and most conciliatory spirit any proposals that may be authoritative- ly formulated,and will hope that theymayprovefeasibleandpropheticofanewdayofmutualco-operation and confidence in America. “This government feels bound incandortosaythatitsdiplomaticre- lations with Mexico being for .thepresentsevered,it is not possible for it to make sure of an uninterrupt-ed opportunity to carry out the plan of intermediation which you propose. It is of course possible that some act of aggression on the part of those who control.the military forces of Mexico might oblige the UnitedStatestoatttotheupsettingofthe hopes ‘of immediate peace,but this does not justify us in hesitating to accept your generous suggestion.We shall hope for the best results within a brief time,enough to relieve our anxiety lest most ill-considered hos- tile demonstrations should interrupt our hopes for peace.” Hoping For Peace But For War. While the administratoin is hope- ful that war may ~be averted,the preparation for the worst goes on.Tension over the one phase.of the situation,which may at any moment upset peace plans—the safety .of Americans in Mexico ,City and other interior points—-was partially reliev-ed by the announcement of Secreta- ry Bryan Sunday night that through the British embassy in Washington the Huerta officials and ~Admiral Fletcher had arranged dor the safe‘departure of Americans’.from,theMexicancapitalandthefreeé@xodusofMexicansfromVeraCruz.Thomas B.Hohler,first secretary of the Brit- ish legation in Mexico City,taking a train load of Mexicans from VeraCruztoMexieoCity,informed Gen.Huerta that the American forceswerenotrestrainingMexicansfromleavingthereandwasassured’that Americans consequently would be al-(Continued,on BHighth eaeieepee Preparing THE PROSPECTcris FOR PEACE. The Tension isRelieved a the Pros-pect of Mediation. ‘Both the United States and the Huerta government.having accepted the offer of Argentina,Brazil and Chile to use their good offices to bring about an amicable settlement of dif- ficulty between the two countries,the ‘war tension is considerably relieved by the’prospect of peace.Whether the troublés can be patched up of course remains to be seen;but thefactthatsuchaneffortisbeingmadegivesgoodgroundforhopethatthere will be no war.*There is no.stop,however,in the war preparations,News from Mexico City is that theexcitementhasquietedandtheAmer- ieans are no longer rushing to getaway.Gen.Funston and his troops arriv-ed at Vera Cruz yesterday.All is quiet there. Two Ladies Worked the Roads—Something Not to Boast Of. Mr.E.R:Wilkinson,carrier on ro-ral route 3 from Statesville,is about to be made an advocate of woman suffrage by an incident--which occur- red on his route a few days ago.There was a very bad mud-hole in the road near St.Martin’s church.One day Misses Myrtle and Resh Lawson,.daughters of Mrs.M..L. Lawson,undertook to drive through it and got stuck.The next day the Misses Lawson went out and filled it with pine brush and dirt,shovel- ing into it probably a wagon load of dirt.Enough of this would not only make Mr.Wilkinson favor giving the vote to the women but taking it away from the men.: We talk about Iredell being “a county.that.does things,”and it is.

As a hint of what might be expect- ed later,the American force sentacrossthesoutheasternpartofthe city a few shells from its three-inch rified ‘cannon,and shortly after 7 o'clock Wednesday morning -thesewerefollowedbyanotherseriesof shells.The principal reason forRearAdmiralFlietcher’s hesitation to~bombard.was that hundreds of non- combatants;including -many.-womier and children who had been unable toget.out of the central part of the city,were crowded into the Diligencie hotel building,from which most ofthefiringwasdonebytheMexicans. General Maas left the city in a car- riage at noon Tuesday,half an hour after the first boatload of American marines landed from the warships. This was stated officially and it was also declared that he had not been seen or heard from since that hour. The commander’s family foliowed him in another carriage.It is stated that the Mexican troopsformingthegarrisonwereturned Joose as soon as it was seen that the Americans were about to land and were told to act as they saw fit.Very few,if any,of their officers remained with the Mexican soldiers,whose op- erations were carried on without any- one to direct.them.Some of theMexicantroopsobtainedaconsidera- ble supply of intoxicants by looting two stores.As a result many of them were in.a condition which made them equally dangerous to nitives and 'for- eigners who came within their range. Colonel Cerrillo was one of the few officers who remained with the Mexican troops.He was the com- mander of the Nineteenth battalion and was wounded in one arm early in the fighting.The Mexican troops had one 75 millimetre gun,which,theylacedinpositionattheEstebanTastalsaandMainstreets.The efforts of Rear Admiral Fletch- er Tuesday night to find some one who exercised.command over the Mexicans and to suggest that he call off his men in the interest of hu- manity were unsuccessful.The Rear Admiral hesitated to open fire withshellonthecity,but the presence of riflemen hidden behind the copings of the flat-roofed buildings,which formed capital shelter for the defend-ing sharpshooters,made the use of artillery almost imperative to pre- vent sacrificing the lives of more Americans.Rear Admiral Fletcher’s note sent to the local officials calling on them to co-operate with the Ameri- can officers in the restoration of or- der by calling off sharpshooters’and by resuming the local government could not be delivered. Julio Franeo,the Mexican chosen by American Consul Canada to be the bearer of the warning,was unable tocommf&nicate with any of the Feder- al officials and only the mayor,Ro-berto Diaz,could be located.When Franco tried to communicate with the mayor he was refused admissionbyMexicanguardsstationedatthe|door.Franco then crawled over the roof of an adjoining building intethecourtoftheDiazresidence,but he did not succeed in seeing the may-or..Senor Diaz refused to leave hisbedroom,so Consul Canada’s messen- ger shouted the.contents of Rear.Adimiral Fletcher's note to’the may-or and personally appealed to him toyieldinordertosavethecityfrom April.28,1914,|. x shots from the cruisers Chester,San Francisco and Prairie tore gapingholesinthe.stone walls and silenced The bluejackets then were énabled toproceedwiththeirtask.A squad of soldiers continued to give consider-able trouble to the Americans fromthebatteredBenitoJuareztower.Af- ter they had been silenced and moved from the tower it was discovered that they had continued fighting for lack of ability to do anything else.‘Theshellsfromthe.warships Tuesday had torn away the stairway .in the tower and the man had been com- pelled to remain in it.

SAYS SULPHUR DRIVES ECZEMA FROM THE SKIN! Use Like Cold Cream to Instantly Stop Itching and Cleaf the Skin. Sulphur,says a renowned derma- tologist,just common bold -sulphur made into a thick cream,will soothe and’heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczenia or any form of eruption.The moment it is ap- plied all itching ceases and after two or three applications the Eczema dis- appears,leaving the skin clear and smooth. He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold cream. For many years common bold-sul- phur has occupied a secure position in the practice of dermatology and parasite-destroying property.It is not only parasiticidal,but also anti- pruritic,antiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and inflamma- tory conditions of the skin.While not always effecting a permanent cure,it never fails to instantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin.

The Landmark stated last week that the case against C.M.Bower, charged with misuse.of the maild,,wascalledatlastweek’s term of theFed- eral court,but ‘Bower failed to an- ewer and a capias was issued for him.This case against Bower is the basis of an interesting story which is told The Landmark by Mr.P,B - ton,who is a victim of misplaced confidence.“Bower is a native of England. About 80 years ago or more he.ap- peared in this’section,married in this county and since then has lived in Iredell and Burke counties,movingbacktoIredellfromBurkeseveral years ago.He calls himself a mining engineer but appears to live chiefly by his wits,for he is a Shrewd man.His wife and married’daughter,live in Statesville. father of P..B.Deaton,had it from his mother that there was an estate in England which rightly belonged to the Deaton family.Mr.Deaton kept this in mind and wanted to in- vestigate.Some years ago,.while Rev.C.A.Jenkins was pastor’of the First Baptist church of Statesville, Mr.Deaton talked to him about;the English estate and in Mr.Deaton’s behalf Mr.Jenkins wrote the Amer- a London banker.The latter replied estate. Whether Bower had heard ofthis English estate and put himself next is not known,but one day in”the aprity of 1909"he got-in-conversation with B.C.Deaton and thé him about the estate and the ‘etter from the London banker,Bower-was knew all.about the record office where such information could be obtained. Deaton agreed.Bower wrote to to give him any-i Mr:B.C.Deaton of Statesville,the |, ican ambassador in London and also |ee but threw little if any light on{the}. interested.He took Deaton to his home,discussed the matter with him|was and got all the information.Deaton had.He asked the privilege of mak- ing an investigation in Deaton’s be- half.Being a native Englishman he =P of woe,His attorneys.had turnedagainsthim,he wrote,and refusedInfOPMALIODL026 January 18,1912,P.By;Deaton re-ceived a letter from Florence Waterfal)of Belper,England,:telling.thestoryofBower’s stay ‘in England from the date of his first appearancetherein1909,°Miss Waterfall had married Bower,she said,and he hadsupportedherandlivedwithherashiswifesincehisfirst.visit,She had founda letter “Deaton —“wrote Bower,in which the name of Bow- er’s wife and daughter in Statesville was mentioned,..and.suspectingtreacheryshewrote)the history ofBower’s stay in England to Deaton and told the latter=not to send him any more money...Bower had told her he was a widower,.Miss Water-fall wrote,and that he was a million- aite from Statesville. No more money .was sent to Bow-er.Deaton investigated further and in October,1912,went.to England to make a personal investigation.With the assistance of detectives he foundfromcourtrecordsinBelper‘district and Derbyshire.that.no syit hadbeeninstituted“by Bower for any irpose and that the Story he had been giving thé Deatons was a fake,pure and simple.”°Mr.White,clerk :court at Belper,certified that Bower had never been in his office. Mr.Annabel,clerk of the court at Derby,gave similar testimony.The le business was a myth.At Lin- coin’s Inn Fields,London,they had files the letters Bower wrote from Statesville in 1909,but the office peo- certified that Bower had never there to make an investigation.Searching further,Deaton foundBelperawomannamedAnnDav- port,who said she is a cousin of ower and that he visited her;that name isn’t Bower at all but John The records showed that the birth of John Foster,son of George and Lucy Foster was regis- tered in Belper,England,in 1848.Ann Davenport said she had known from childhood and that he blinded in the left eye when a boy by the explosion of a gun cap. He left England when @ young man and Miss Davenport says she never aw him after that until his visit there in 1909. Bower had given his English-wife many handsome presents,Mr.Dea- of the whe o ple ¢ B His i oO r. Aldershot,where the record office had formerly been located.He got an | answer and was told to write the of-| fice in London,where it had been| |moved,and send a fee for an answer.| This was done and a reply was re- ceived.None of these letters;it seems,threw’any light on the estate belonging to the Deatons but they were encouraged to pursue the inves- tigation.Bower could find out the facts easily if he were in England, so in the fall of 1909—about Novem- ber 1st—the father and son,B.C. and P.B.Deaton,gave Bower $500 and an outfit of clothing and sent him to England.He returned ih about six weeks with a most satis-fying report.The estate was there. The exact location was at Smal 8 1-2 miles from Derby,Derbyshire, England.The place was underlai with coal and was worth about $20,- 000,000.It was in possession of one William Howard Hobson,who had notitletoit.Bower had instituted suit to claim the property for the legal heirs—the Deatons. In the spring of 1910,with $600 which the Deatons had provided for him,Bower returned to England to be present at the trial of the case, which was to come up on a certain date.He also executed a contract with the Deatons by which he was to receive 10 per jcent of the amount collected,they paying the expenses and paying Bower for his time. Promptly after the expiration of the date for the trial Bower cabied the Deatons,“Victory today.Appeal taken.”He followed the cablezram with a letter explaining that the casewassenttoChanceryandwouldbe tried.there in December.This was a matter,of form,as final victory was certain, Bower returned to Statesville in August and then went back to Eng-land in the fall to be present at thetrialintheChancerycourtinDe- cember.Then there was a turn in affairs that didn’t indicate an casy victory for the claimants of the es-tate.The Chancery court,which was expected to put the clincher on the claim of the Americans,remand- ed the case for a new hearing,Bower came home about Christmas,19),and left again for England in Janu- ary,1911.He evidently liked ocean long as the other.fellow paid thé freight.There was a hitch about thenewhearingtheChancerycourthadordered,so Bower wrote his clients. The trial didn’t come off in June,1911,as .expected;and Bower came home.in.August,1911..All.this time he kept the Deatons in“good cheerabouttheprospectsofultimatesuc- cess.Bower returned to England in October,1911,and P.B.Deaton de-cided to go with him and do a littleinvestigatingonhisownaccount,When they reached England Bowerfoundtheinvestigationcouldnotbemade.His attorney,Judge J.M. Waterfall,he said.was in Greece and he,was.sure that if he and Deatonundertookaninvestigationatthattimetheywouldqueerthewhole propositidn.Deatoh was persistentbutBowersostrenuouslyobjectedthathepersuadedDeatontoreturn home,postponing the investigationuntilFebruary,1912,at which timeDeatonwastotakehisfather,B.C.Deaton,to England for the final trialofthesuitatDerby.P.B.DeatonreturnedhomefromEnglandinNo~vember,1911,Bower promising to ton found—gold rings,gold watch, etc.He ‘passed in’Belper as a mil- lionaire from Statesville and to clinch the matter he made a will,giving his English wife several thousand acres of land in Burke county,N.C.,and a handsome home in Statesville.Be- fore leaving for England he had made a will,Mr.Deaton,says,leaving his possessions here,which were not large,to his‘Statesville family. ‘After Deaton had gathered all the evidence he could find,most of which is documentary and by which he says he can easily establish all the state- ments herein made,he returned home, sadder and wiser.Bower,who was in England at the time,didn’t know Deaton was there.He returned to 5 America about the same time but by a different route.Deaton laid the facts before the United States au- thorities.Bower—who is as sharp as Brooks of Sheffield—had surmised the game was up and that there might be trouble,so he kept under cover.Uncle Sam’s sleuths got on his track and captured him at New Orleans last fall:He was brought to Greensboro and kept in jail for a time. He got on the weak side.of Judge Boyd,pleaded old age and bad health, and the judge released him on his own recognizance to appear at States- ville court last week.He did not ap- pear,of course.Whether a special effort will be made to find him is not known.District Attorney Holton had aseured Mr.Deaton that the evidence was ample to convict Bower. ‘The experience of the Deatons with Bower cost them between $7,- 000 .and $8,000,P.B.Deaton says. A part of this was spent by Deaton in his two trips to England but the bulk of the money,probably about $7,000,was-spent by Bower in the manner described.He had a very good time while the money held out. In the hope of securing the Eng- lish estate,for the existence of which they had only the word of a man of whom they knew almost nothing,a man unprepossessing in appearance and with a bad record—although they probably didn’t look into his record until too late—these people sacrificed their all.Homes were mortgaged to get the money and had to be sold. Not only did the father and son lose their.property,but A.P.Sigman, son-in-law of B.C.Deaton,who joined in to help,also lost.A sad ending to the hope of a fortune that would run up into millions. {here are many other stories told of-the exploits of Bower since he tiv- ed in this part of the country,but this.one.is already too long. cosetcnrgnnenenninciainincieetinl oe All Our Wars Begin in April.

It is greatly to be hoped that mat- ters can be adjusted without further bloodshed,but if we have to go into *Mexico The Landmark hopes there will be no affiliation with the Consti- tutionalist crowd;and especially do we want no affiliation with the im- possible Villa..The Landmark had been wondering, trouble became acute,in the event of Constitutionalist success,which ~—-geemed-apparent,-if-our-embarrass- ment wouldn’t be greater in dealing with Villa—whose name should be pronounced villain ranza,-the nominal,head of the Con- stitutionalists,made a bid for recog- nition and aid to overthrow Huerta and got cold comfort,praise be.

Dale,for years a missionary of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church at Rio.Verde,Mexico,ex- presses the opinion that the Mexican people would be disposed to unite to repel a foreign invasion.He attach- es little importance to the talk of Vil- la that he would not fight the United States.Villa may mean that now, says Mr.Dale,but these promises -ean’t be depended on,Further Mr. Dale says: ’“The common le iDaudknewmothingexceptthatwhichhappensaroundthem.Their onlyidea.of the whole situation is thatWallStreetwantstheminesandoilwellsofMexicoandhassenttheUnitedStatestroopstotakethem.Very naturally,then,the people con- : jahenitac Crimes and Incidents.of ;leaves a family. fwestern railway,23 miles north of through the streets,headed by bands. before the present|train No.88 was cars loaded with.cattle turned over, andwere killed. if it isn’t—than|a Washington-Dispatch,eiinHuerta.Old Car-|nominated to be assistant surgeon in “1c ypeugeenanartgeta the navy.He has been in the medi- eal reserve corps since last September --Life in the OldNorth State,4 noir county,shot himself last week; search.He was 62 years old and Shipments of strawberries beganintheeasternNorthCarolinatruck- ing section.last week,This wberriesareexpectedtobegingoing forward by train loads.

But for some cause,their views on this subject have not been fortheom: ing}why,we cannot say,unless it isbecausetheyfeartheirownwords would condemn them.From what we have been able to gather,their biggest argument forrevolutionizingthefixedcustomsoftheDemocraticparty’is that to fol- low out the precedents of.our“party would work a great hardship on them, in that it would render their,finan- cial condition very unstable,‘andthatsincetheyhavespenttheirmon- ey for the upbuilding of the party they need the offices for their support.
