It is scid that the wreck of the steamer Monroe ‘off the Virginia coast last Friday.morning,in which more than two score lives were lost, recorded the first loss of a passen- go>in the history of the company @percting this line of steamers.The president of the company .says the Monroe was modern in -every reé- spect,*equipped with,all the latest life-saving devices and safeguarded by water-tight compartments,Re- cently ‘the vessel had passed the in- speetion and was considered abso- lutely safe.Plying along the coas:, rarely out of sight of land,a wreck accompanied by svch a loss of life was censidercd practically impossi- ble.And yet ten minutes after the vessel was struck it went to the bot- tom of the sea.This is additional evidence,along with the wreck of the Titanic,that with:all the modern safcty equipment,they that go down to the sea in ships are in great dan- ger. The executive committee of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League, im special session in Raleigh last week,adopted resolutions which in effect declare for an act by the 1915 “General Assembly to prohibit the delivery of intoxicating liquors in this State for beverage purposes and wall on the prohibitionists’in all the districts:and counties.of the ‘State to demand that the candidates for office declare themselves on this question,prohibitionists to support only those pledged to support such a prohibitive act.This will bring the issue up to the candidates. Some of the leading prohibitionists think the proposed measure is go- ing too far;others who have gone along with prohibition because it is popular had no idea that it would finally shut out all opportunity. ‘These will probably be embarrassed by the new proposition.The ‘Land- mark thinks the proposed law is the Jogical and necessary result of pro- Hiibition legislation and it sees no Yeason for balking,seeing that we have put our hands to the plow.

The story of how 43°souls went" down to death in the chill waters of the Atlantic when the liner “Nan- tucket rammed and sank the steamer Monroe early today,was brought to port tonight by 91 survivors of the sunken hip’s passengers,rescuedandbroughttoshorebytheNan- tucket,It was a story of awful and sudden death,sweeping out-of thedarkandfogandtakingunawaresthedoomedhalfhundredwiththeheavinessofsleepstilluponthem.

Saved: total 91. ‘Under’the thick bank of fog that hid the heavily running sea,both big ships were making their r slowly and with difficulty in the ear y morn- ing.The Monroe,with Captain John- son on the bridge and a double look- out peering into the fog ahead,was Passengers 36,crew 55; edging under half specd to the’north-ward,‘having left Norfolk for New York last evening.The Nantucket, heavily laden with freight and with but two passengers aboard,was nos- ing her way southward,bound from Boston to Norfolk. The crash came about 1:40 o’elock without.warning...Out-of the gray black fog that shut out even the waves from view,the gleam of theNantucket’s searchlight scarcely toiiched”the dripping”side ~~of the Monroe before the high steel prow of the southward bound Vessel cut into her side with a ripping and crashingofplatesthatthrewthestrickenship aback.The Nantucket,with her bow crushed in,backed out of.sight into the fog,as Captain Johnson,seeing that his vessel was fatally tricken,| shouted an order for the lifeboats. When the crash came those aboardtheMonroewereinbedandasleep. Only Captain Johnson and the watch on deck were up and about...But the shivering of the stricken vessel, as the water poured through the gash in her side,awakened the passengers -jchusetts,had his wife and sent them clambering toward the deck.Warned by the officers,they hurriedly adjusted life-preservers and| made for the tilted deck.But the! time was dl!too brief.Those reseued agreed that from the time.the Mon- roe was.struck until she settled he- neath the waves,not more than a short-ten minutes elapsed. Baggage,clothing,valuables,all were forgotten in the flight.Paja- mas,nightgowns and bathrobes and blankets were the common apparel of those who reached the deck.And most of them wore that,garb when they left the limping Nantucket at her dock here lated ‘today,As the half-clad,excitéd throng of passengers reached the deck,they were hurried toward lifeboats by offi- cers and crew.Three of the life- boats were gotten away from the side,freighted mostly with women. By the time these were away the Monroe was rolling over on her side,and it was impossible to launch the other boats. With a sudden lurch the liner roll- ed over on her side.With a chorus of shrieks the unfortunates left on the sinking vessel turned,and crawl- ing like rats,made their way overthe‘superstructure,through port- holes,windows and companionways,until they rested just out of reach’ of the waves on the upper side of thehalf-capsized vessel.Even this sli pery security was not long available.With a rumbling sound the:shiplungedbeneaththewaves,leaving 3 human freight afloat in the icyocean,-Meantime the Nantucket,herselfbadlydamaged,had stood by.andCaptainBerryhadarousedhisslee’ing crew.As the rays of the search-light failed to pierce the blanket offog,Captain Berry ordered out hislifeboatsandonebyonetheyslipped away into the fog to search for theMonroe.They found only the strug-gling survivors ofloat in theicy water, crying frantically for help.Many of those picked up were utterly exhaust-ed and unable to help themselves.Thomas R.Harrington kept his wiféafloatbyswimmingwithherhairinhisteeth,only to have her die a fewminutesaftershewaéhauledaboardtheNantucket.‘Lieutenant L.B.Cur- tis,United States army,was rescued,but died after reaching the Nan- tucket.Captain Johnson of the Monroe and all of his officers got away from the sinking vessel and were rescued.AlloftheofficersandthecrewofboththeMonroeandtheNantucketwere held here tonight to await an investi-gation.ofthe catastrophe which willbebegunimmediatelybytheFederal steamboat inspection service.There were notable deeds ofheroismbyAssistantEngineerOscar Perkins and First Wireless Operator Ferdinand ,J.Kuehn...Perkins,when the inrush of water put out the maindynamoandlefttheMonroeincom- plete darkness,rushed below and put to work an emergency dynamo.He is among the reseued.

E.P.Lyons,the former Richmond, Va,,and Savannah,.Ga.,theatrical manager,said:“The Monroe’s crew behavedsplendidly.There were not ~verymanywomenontheship,but they were allowed to get into the boats first.There was no effort on the part of the men to crowd.While we were in the lifeboat we picked up a man and a’woman.He was hold- ing her by her hair in his teeth and was almost exhausted when we pull- ed him in. “There were many.people who must have been.caught in_their staterooms.The collision occurred so suddenly and the boat sank so quickly,it’s a wonder that many more were not drowned.The listing ofthesteamer..made_it...impossible_totowerthélifeboats-on one side of theshipandthataddedtothedifficulty in saving lives. “The Nantucket stood by us and those of us who could climbed the rope ladder to get on board.Those who.were.not able te follow us.wereliftedaboardtheNantucketbythe aid of ropes which were placed under their arms.” The Nantucket,after remaining for some time on the scene of the ac- the rails |] cident,was joined by the Old Do- minion steamer Hamilton bound from } New York to Norfolk,and by the) Hamilton’was convoyed to Norfolk.| The Nantucket has a térrific hole in’ her bow and will have to undergo extensive repairs. CHILDREN HATE OIL,CALOMEL AND PILLS. |“California Syrup of Figs”Rest For fender Stomach,Liver, —Tastes Delicious. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the “dose”mother insisted on—castor oil,calomel,cathartics. How you hated them,how you fought against taking them. With our children it’s different. Mothers who cling to the old form of whysic don’t realize what thev do. The children’s revolt is ‘well-founded, Yheir tender little “insides”are injur-ed by them.: If your child’s stomach,liver and bowels need cleansing,give only deli- cious “California Syrup of Figs.”Its action is positive,but gentle.Mil- lions of mothers keep this harmless“fruit laxative”handy:they know children love to take it;that it nev- er.fails to clean the liver and.bowels and sweeten the stomach,and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sickchildtomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” which has ful!directions for.babies, children of all ages and for grown- ups plainly on each bottle.Beware ofcounterfeitssoldhere.See that it is mde by “California Fig Syrap.Com-pany.”‘Refuse any other kind with contempt.

The history of the world is large- ly the history of roads.The Chil- dren of Israel wandered on a wind- ing road for forty years in the wil. derness,because,after God had made a path through the sea,they co}dn’t make a way through the land.Chri from the hills of Nazareth,watched the world go by on the old roads of the valley of Megiddo.Rome con- quered the world with armies,but held all lands bound to herself with roads.Now the history,and poetry,and meaning of toads could employ us for years if we cared to study the subject.What I have to say,how- ever,is very simple and can be brief- ly told. First of all.reads are very expen- sive and they are never finished. There are roads in Europe that cost millions of dollars and yet they work on them every day.Some are two thousand years old and are four feet thick,andyet whena little place as big as your hand holds water any- where on their smooth surfaces, somebody puts a rock in that hole, unds it up,and sweeps it even. hey are building roads of con- crete now that last a while without work,but we have better roads in our sand-clay.‘They don’t cost as much as concrete,but they are more pleasant to travel over.‘All we need to learn to do is to keep them crowned up and smooth.They are the best roads on earth when cared for.Next we must learn not to make ruts.‘The worst enemy of goodroadsisthemanthatmakesarut.

In fact we are facing a better day and our roads will add to our wealth and happiness,and neighborliness, until we will begin to think aboutthemandundorstandthem,We will learn the science of road building, the a,b,c’s of caring for them,the joy of using them,and the man-ners that belong to them, TTT“HOW'S THIS? _We offer One HundredwardforanycaseofnotbecuredHall'sF,i.C HY &CO.1.Sig “aera ane abelievehimperfectly all business transactions anotally able to adecarryoutanyobibybiaWalaing,f Druggists,THaCureistaken ns ly,-iy upon the biec Dollarsrrhthat can-tarrh Cure,Toledo,O.known F,ears,and Statesville Printing Co-SN one el2ee per boraecable » x HW m :of th m.Temiee|sent ride,e. coheeanenee wdulin 5 warwarned the woods and mountains,some to wagons will learn that even the au-| LOOKOUT:SHOAES CONTRACT, ai fARRE arom ality Psthi ceouihernPowerCompanyLetsCon-.tract For Dam afd Power Houseat.Lookout Sheals and For Rail-road Line From Catawba River .Bridge to the ~Shoals—Buildings_on the Iredell Side of the River—1,Contracts Involve Expenditure of “a Million Dollars.

People in North Carolina towns who get fresh butter from the coun- ry every week sand turn..up their ‘moses if the butter isn’t.strictly fresh,have little conception of what folks in cities eat for their ‘butter. A New York news item says the in- flux of foreign-made butter from all parts of the world;due to the reduc- tion of the American tariff duty by half the former tariff,has caused a decline in the New York wholesale Since the first of ‘the year butter has been coming to New York from as far off as Australia,Argentina and Den- mark,Siberia also supplying.Think of eating butter after it had been shipped from across the sea and was months old. Congress has sidestepped the ques- ‘tion of woman suffrage by declaring that it is a question for the States. For some time delegations of wo- men have been appealing to Con- gress to submit a _constitutional ;‘amendment,granting ‘suffrage to“women,to the States.Two delega- tions have called on the President at different times seeking his aid. ‘The Democrats of the House decid- ed in caucus,by a large majority, not to create a committee on woman Suffrage,as requested;and in the Housc Wednesday Mr.Underwood, the Democratic leader,put the party Squarely on record in opposition to ground that suffrage is a matter for the The position is sound and in nee with.Democratic doctrine usage.. 'The President’s order removing The embargo on arms and ammuni- tion shipped to Mexico,virtually “means that the contending Mexican Factions are to be given free rein to Might it out and that outsiders who ‘may desire to take a hand are free“to give aid and comfort to either ‘Bide.There is no constitutional gov- ernment in Mexico;the faction in ~“gharge of the so-called government “from Washington, “Gn Mexico City has no better claim to “recognition than the so-called rebels -4f so good a claim.Any hope that Huerta can restore peace and order an Mexico and maintain a stable gov- “ernment is apparently groundless. ‘Bettlement of the troubles in Mex- ‘ico “by civil war carried to its:bitter Zonclusion,”says a statement issued “is “a terrible Phing,but it must come.now wheth- @r We wish it or not,unless some out- ‘pide power is to undertake to sweep ‘Mexico with its armed forces from end to end,which would be the mere beginning of a still mdre difficult “problem.”That is the whole story. At is either let the Mexicans fight it *out,as terrible as that may be,or “our government must go in there and conquer the country.This would “hot entail less bloodshed or less of the horrors of war and a good part of the terrible consequences would fall on us.If it were possible to go .into Mexico and command the peace, “force the fighting to stop and compel the Mexicans to be good,it would be ‘the part of humanity to do that.But nobody will seriously contend that in- tervention in Mexico would ‘mean anything but a sacrifice of life and an enormoys expenditure of money on the part of the United States, over ‘the sum of fiveDisputingove-~-eénts,Will Hill and Sam Harris,both'wolored,entered into aight in apoolroominGreensboro.Harris wasthroughthelungandisdead,i in jail.’ with the howl]about ‘impeaching thejJawyer’s integrity.’It acter.usthattheprofessioninthisinstancehasassumedaholier-than-thou atti-tude that is impossible successfullytodefend:The making of the lawswhichallmenmustobeyshouldbeguardedagainstanyimproperinflu-ence at least as carefully as their.en~forcement,where injustice can be done only one person,To assumethatamanisofunimpeachablein- tegrity simply because he is a law- yer is to add to the hilarity of the nation—and also to,irritate the pub-ic.“Lawyers ‘have a mysterious sys-tem of rules “which ay call ‘ethics.’ which they are scrupulously careful to observe,outwardly,/at’least;but, curiously enough,this patent viola- tion of good taste—4o give it themildest.name possible—is not pro-hibited by this system,The work- ings of legal ethics are a constant bewilderment to the layman,at best,so perhaps.there is some other reas- on which outsiders are not supposed to understand which accounts for the ignoring of this clearly ethical prop- osition.But whether it properly comes within the province of the stated rules of conduct or not,evenalaymancanunderstandthismuch —the profession would rise immeas- urably in the estimation of the gen- eral public if it would set its face as a.profession steadfastly against this questionable practice.” The United Statesexported 25,000 American -made automobiles during 1913.The value of automobiles and sundries exported during that period is $40,000,000,as against $2,000,000 in’1908._Automobile imports in 1913 amounted only to $1,500,000,which means that the balance of trade in automobiles is in our favor to the extent of $38,500,000.It’s comfort- ing’to know that in the matter of automobiles we are so far ahead in the foreign trade. Immigration Bill Passes With Liter- acy Test.The Burnett immigration bill pre- scribing a literacy test for appli- eants for admission to the United States,was passed by the HouseWednesdayafternoonbyaVoteof 241 to 126.All proposed amend- ments relating to the exclusion of Asiatic immigrants previously had been eliminated.'As the bill passed it provides that every immigrant admitted to.theUnitedStatesmustbeabletoread“the English language or some otherlanguageordialect,including HebreworYiddish.”It prescribes the meth- od of testing immigrants,providingthateachapplicantforadmissionmustreadasliponwhichisprinted between 30 and 40 words.In its present form this measure passed the House and the Senate inthelastCongressbutwasvetoedby President Taft.A similar bill was vetoed during President Cleveland’ssecondadministration.The warn ers of the bill dre confident that it again will pass the Senate,althoughPresident~Wilson has let it be known that he does not approve the literacy test.~ Opponents of the aaa.test fought to the last but om a last ef-fort.to eliminate the test from.the bill they were defeated,140 to 239.

Greensboro Record. We all make fun of germs,the dan- ger of drinking from the same cup or glass,and all that,but ther®is something in it.Here is an authenti- cated instance rather close to home. A woman and her little girl were com- ing from Tennessee to Jamestown on a visit.On the train was another woman with a small child.One of the women had a drinking cup,the other not.Occupying seats not far apart,the two women soon were on more or less familiar terms.Both children drank from the same -cup. One was not well by any means,but it was not known from what she was suffering.Arriving at Jamestown one of the women alighted and went to the home of a friend.Inside of a day her little child was taken violent-ly ill with diphtheria and died in three days.County Physician Jones was notified and has since discovered that the little girl on the train had diphtheria,thus showing conclusive- ly that the disease was communicat-ed from the drinking cup.The child that died was perfectly.well when it left Tennessee cnd was well when itatrivedatJamestown,but diphtheriaShoweditselfthenextdayandwas swift in its work.

This.tower is mentioned in Luke, 13:4:“Those 18 upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?” The excavators,according to the message,“have discovered a_long,well-cut Greek inscription,which speaks of the presbytcrs and fathers,with Simonides,laying the founda- tion of the synagogue,the baths andcaravansary.These baths and the foundations of the synagogue are ex- posed.They have found at the base of a circular building the tower of Siloam.They have found also a conduit leading from the spring.The conduit seen by Schinck in thenineties,wrongly thought to have been the oldest,is now show7n to beabovethespring.” North Carolina Woman a Party totheMurderofHerBaby.

Attorney General Has Been to NorthCarolinaandisSaidtoBeDeterm-ined Not to Recommend AshboroMan—Speculation. Washington Dispatch,4th,to Char- lotte Observer. Things are happening in the Hammer case.The Attorney General after a social visit to North Carolina,has practically passed up the Ham- mer recommendations,Senator Over-man;believing that he might as well go on to the White House with his candidate,has made an.engagement with the President for tomorrow morning.P Last Sur@ay,when everybody in Washington thought the Attorney General was in New York,that gen-tleman was in North Carolina at a hunting club near High Point,rightintheheartofW. C.--Hammer’srange.It was reported here today that while in the State the AttorneyGeneralsawHenry‘A.Page,but this story could not be confirmed.One thing can be stated with assurance, and that is that the Attorney Gener- al is more satisfied than ever that Hammer is not the man for district attorney. That there has been a disposition to give somebody else the attorney- ship,if the Attorney General will not consent to Hammer,no news-gather- er who knows the facts doubts.For the sake of party harmony a com- promise was desired. Manly McDowell has been told by friends in Washington that he may be marshal of the western district. There is but one way to put Mr. McDowell in,and that is.by taking Webb out.If Mr.Hammer is not appointed attorney,Mr.Webb may be transferred to that place.That is the logic.of the situation. It is known,however,that some feelers were sent out months ago to see just who might be interested in the attorneyship.It is said here that Charles W.Tillett of Charlotte was.asked if he would accept the ;position,if it were offered to him: This story has cropped out more than once.Mr..Tillett fanned aside the feeler and a recommendation of Mr.Hammer followed. (When Senator Overman called on the President yesterday the latter said he would take the matter up with the Attorney General and theoutlookforHammerisregardedas more favorable.)aAeroplaneRace Around the World in1915.

Organizat The “bureau of animal industry, has issued a bulletin entitled “Boys’Pig Clubs,with special reference totheirorganizationintheSouth.”Iteanbehadfreeby—to theDepartmentofjAgriculture,Waah-ington.It contains a number of il-lustrations,a design of a portablehoghouse,which can be built easilyandcheaply,and design of f pen for small pigs. The object of the pig clubs is to show the boys how better and cheap-er hogs may be produced by the useofimprovedbloodandthegrowing of forage crops.It also aims to en- courage the home-curing of meats and the growing of forage crops, while discouraging the-use-of high-priced feeds.The work of the boys’ pig clubs is planned to complementtheworkoftheboys’corn clubs by showing the boys how they can " itably sell their corn through hogs. The boys in these’clubs learn how to judge hegs and to select them forbreedingormarketpurposes,They also learn practical ways in the men- agement,feeding,sanitation andpreventionofdiseasesofswine,all of which information proves valuablewithrespecttootherformsoflive- stock work.. A not unimportant~detail of th work to the boys themselves is the money which they are énabled toearnbymarketingtheirproducts. They also tome to realize sooner or later that farm life has its:interest- ing side,and that ‘success in the farming business is well worth while. Any boy between the ages of 10 and 18 may become a member of a pig club.Each boy must secure at least one pig if he becomes a mem- ber.Each member must care for his stock in person and keep a record ofhispigforatleastfourmonthsin order to compete for a prize.The members of the club must agree to study the instructions which the de- partment sends out for the benefit of the hog raisers.The bulletin out-lines a plan of organization for theboys’pig club,giving a sample con- stitution and by-laws.The work is conducted by the department in ¢o- operation with “the various,State colleges. Wherever possible the bureau of animal industry places a State agent in évery Southern State desiring to carry on this work.These State agents assist in organizing the pig clubs and give full instructions and advice to any youthful pig growerswhoapplyforit,The agents oan often help a boy in purchasing apure-bred-pig at-a-—moderite price.In the pamphlet are some veryimportant“don’ts”which should aid the young farmer in preventing thedangerousdiseaseofhogcholera. Here are the suggestions: Do not have hog lots next to high- ways,railroads,or streams.If yourneighbor’s hogs ‘have cholera do not allow any one from his farm tovisityourfarm,and especially your hog lot or pens,and keep awayfromyourneighbor’s hog lot,wheth- er his hogs have cholera or not.Do not keep pigeons or allow them to alight on ur premiseg;keep away crows and buzzards. Quarantine all new hogs broughttoyourplaceuntilyouaresurethey are free from disease.Do not .allow.a sagan mayer man on your place,for you do notknowhowrecentlyhehasvisitedasickherd. Disinfect your wagon and your own,shoes and clothes after haul- ing hogs to stockyards or railroadloadingpens. tAvord every possible way of car- rying infection to your hogs. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”is an old saying,but in this case it is everything.Some of the points which the De-partment of Agriculture advises the youthful hog grower to bear in:mind are the following: 1.The feeding and care are as im-portant as the breeding in produc-ing a good hog.Plenty of feed and.) good care may make a good hog outofarunt,but lack of it will alwaysmakearuntoutofagoodhog. 2.To make pork cheaply a perma-nent pasture and forage crops mustbeused.3..Young pigs must have a dry bedandplenty~of sunshine.4.Begin feeding the pig as soonashewilleat,and keep him growinguntilheismature.5.Always keep plenty of clean,fresh water where the ‘hogs maydrinkatanytime. 6.Quaranting all newly purchasedanimalsforthreeweeks,7.Never keep a female for abroodsow,no matter how well bred |she may be,if she will not producemorethanfourstrongpigsatalit-ter.

You think you have said exactly what you mean,and eneeenty you wake to the fact that some one put into your words a g that was nev- er intended.Your reporter had oc- casion the pastweek to report the meeting of .the Statesville Minister- ial Association.He tried to convey the i “in that article:that, although -Dr..Andersonof the First Baptist,church and Mr.Kirk of the Broad Street Methodist church had been in union meetings that were not at all satisfactory,yet in view of the need of the local churches and in view of the unique relations ex- isting between.the denominations here,they both were in hearty ac- cord with the proposal of Mr.Raynal and stood ready to do°all they could in united effort.to stir the town and enlist the town in an evangelistic ef- fort to reach ‘the grown-up people that are not now being reached. Yet on the next day it was:found that beth ‘these gentlemen were.be- ing quoted as being’against the movement.We first saw Mr.Ray- nal and he says that Mr,Kirk and Dr;Anderson are just as heartily in favor of the movement as he and Pressly,To make sure,pe then se- cured a word from each of the gen- tlemen in question.Dr.Anderson said that nothing would give him more pleasure than for all the Christian people.of the town to get together and work together in a meeting of the kind proposed for the general awakening of the people as to the importance of the religious life.Mr.Kirk was just as emphatic in the statement that in his opinion there was no movement more calco- lated to impress the town with the importance of spiritual interests than a get-togetlier movement just as pro- posed.‘ It was further brought out that there is no disposition to bring in some outside man of no reputation land.with clap-trap methods to do the work of the pastors themselves.They lare in no wise loafing on their jobs. |Every pastor in the town is alive to \the best.interests of his own congre- lgation and to the best interests of ithe collective religious and moral life lof the community;and every pastor lstands ready to put his shoulder to ithe wheel;whether -in -his individual leapacity asa citizen,as pastor of i\fiis own church,or as one in a great leollective effort to put the religious life of the town’on a higher plane. Nor do the pastors consider that [the churches are in a hopeless con- \dition.Perhaps the churches are in as good condition here as they have lever been in their history.But these imen feel that they should not rest leontent with things as they are.They believe in the better day,and that the better day is no idle dream,but ithat it is distinctly within the reach lof the present.They believe too that iit is to be reached through the larg- ler éo-operation,through the larger |enlistment of the forces we already have.They see in this —proposed coming together a means to larger |power and larger development of spiritual life’in those who ‘thus get |closer together, It was even suggested that.the 'pastors themselves might do all the |preaching,there seeming to be no |great demand from the general pub- illic for a professional evangelist.The leentral idea is that Statesville needs 'to do more in a religious way than it has been doing.It is a larger town,it has greater equipment,it {shouldhave more religion.The sug- gestion for a union meeting and..its jready acceptance means that we are jcertainly more interested than’we have been hitherto.If it should final- ly be decided that the meefing is to te held;there is small likelihood but that the whole religious community will join heartily.in doing everything possible to make it a success and that much good will come to the com- munity.

It is a perfectly good law but evi-dently very placid.There is a lawagainstdroppingbananapeelingsonthepavements,and to this law is at- tached a good,strong,healthy .pen-alty.There is a law about cleanpremiseswhichprovidesforbeautifulbackyards.And so on through thelistoflawsthatshowwehavebeen thinking’about it for a long time. But when you walk abroad ‘you are somehow a little disappointed.In spite of the laws the town is not quite as clean as it ought to be. Whenever there is something large and handsome to be done the men say,“This is a man’s job.”And so they talk,and make laws,and ap-point councils.And nothing is done. Nothing,nothing,nothing,nothing! Then the women go to work.And that is the way a “man’s jeb”getsdone. Some time ago the question was raised as to the origin of the oldsaying,“Cleanliness is next to God- liness.”Something like ~it can be found in all the civilized languages and it ia part of the teaching of the greater religions of the earth.It was traced to Henry Ward Beecher, then,through him,to the writers of the older generations,then on back to the ancient Rabbinical scholars who wrote in Bible times,then to the folk lore of primitive ages and to the beginning of the world.In short, it is the kind of thing that any wo-man would say,and our First Mother probably used it on Adam and her sons whén,after the fall,she was trying to make the sad,sin-cursed world a little bit like Eden and theGardenof.the Lord. And what does this whole modern feminist movement mean but some-thing like this same wise old saying. The women still believe in godliness and cleanliness.They think the world can be a garden.They even think that we can be men.Well for us,my brothers,that this brave faith endures!For six thousand ycars and more,women have.believed theirloversandlookedwithprideupon their sons.And instead of gardens we have made hells.So they aresayingnow,“Clean up the world.My sons shall not be drunkards nor my daughters salves!”And it is our last chance to be heroes.1 don’t think the women really want to vote,but,if it takes that to clean thingsup,they are going to vote.I tellyoutheyaregoingtovote. And,O how the men hate spring house cleaning! The Civic League is doing a num- ber of other things.They are mak- ing a rest room for the young moth- ers that come to town and bring their babies.That is making Statesvillekindandfriendly.They are at work on plans for a play ground where the children can be happy and there- fore good.That is making an in- vestment in health and character.They want vacant lots raked and garnished so that instead of tin cansgrassmaygrowandinsteadofrag weed flowers may come up.That ismaking“Statesville rejoice and blos-som as the rose.But in it all they want to clean things up and that isappliedreligion.here is no reason under the sunwhythisshouldnotbeavery.beau-tiful town.We have everything needful to make it altogether lovely.

Philadelphia»Dispatch. Capt.Edward 3B.Johnson,com- mander of the steamship Monroe,testified Friday in the trial of Capt. Osmyn Berry,of the steamship Nan- tacket,that if he (Johnsony had vio- lated the international rules of the high seas,he probably could have avoided the collision of the two ships and the—consequent.loss of 41 lives. This was brought out in his cross- examination by counsel for Capt.Berry,who is charged with negli-gence. The.international rules provide that in case of fog a steam vessel hearing,apparently forward of.her beam,the fog signal of a vessel,thepositionofwhichisnotascertained, shall,so far as ¢ircumstances per- mit,stop her engines and then nav- gate..with caution until danger of collision is over, Capt.Johnson testified that whenheheardtheNantucket’s fog whis-tle off the Monroe’s starboard bow hestoppedhisengineandthatamin- ute later when he saw the loom oftheNantucket’s light he went aheadfullspeedtoport,' “If I had put my helm bardastarboardandgoneaheadfull speed when I heard the fog whistle, I probably would have cleared theNantucket.That is the only possi- ble thing,I think,I could have done to avoid the:collision,but I would have been violating the law.” This testimony brought about “acurioussituation;that is,Capt. Johnson’s adhercnce to the rule hel to make the collision possible, while one of the charges against Capt.Berry is that his alleged fail-ure to obey the same rule “was the‘immediate cause of the collision.”epeensineeenaesttaeieinmnenatnantan To Protect Members of CongressFromLobbyists.

It is more interesting than any twenty novels of the day.If,after you have read it,you want your money back I will buy it from you for what.you paid for it and give you a bonus for reading it.TheLandmarkisauthorizedtoactfor me in this matter.: The book is so full of good hn- mor,and common sense,and soundprinciplethatIwantourtownin beautiful,to have it as a sort ‘of guide.It tells about so much I want} you to know,that I can’t review it in any true sense at all in this briefarticle.I can only tell you to readit.lt is not a complete business man- ual but it does tell you how gettingtogetherworks.It shows you how ness by making his business do something for the general good.I‘ says,“The value of a piece of land is the number of footsteps.passing| by it in 24 hours.The value of a!railroad is in the number of people| that can’t stay off of it.”Thereare | men in every town that are getting| rich by holding property that other|people are making valuable.This| given town,or county,or country,| will work together instead of fight-ing,they can do anything they want to do and Statesville needs to learn} this.If we'can learn to get to- gether,keep together,pull together,| work together,we can build our town.Moreover we cen have :mighty good time while we are at it. Nothing “fi “this world.is ‘more false than the idea that money is!made by beating people.At the| mass meeting the other night busi-| ness men told,with pleasant,remin-| iscent smiles,how they had gotten to- gether as friends and organized fur- niture factories,cotton mills andbanks.Every drummer knows that| his business depends on making|friends for his house.Every prcach-| er knows that the essence of his| business ‘is in making friends for| the church.Every merchant,.benk-| er ‘and manufacturer in Statesville|ought to learn that.big business de- pends on making the most friends for Stetesville.mnThisbookisnota complete manv-| al of .politics but it does show howthereisanewspiritinour.coun-| try today and how legislation is com ing to be franker and more a mat- ter for the good of all.Not a preacher in our land.today is watch- ed as closély as the politician is The politician is the man-now that| is having to wear frock coats,white|neckties and fatherly smiles.He has|to look good,do good and be.good.|The preachers are wearing red neck ties,working like drummers,and| acting like real men.|This book is notja complete the-| ology.It says some things that you wish had been a little more reverentlystated,but it does make relig ion a matter of everyday life.And the glorious-thing it does above al! is to show how’one thing that Christ said can work in the world.It takestheGoldenRuleand’applies it tolife.If we will just.try that opethingfaithfullyandasthoughChrist meant it not for a few pious people, but for the whole world,then we cah go on to a more complete cre-| dal statement.The whole book| shows how getting together,and having fellowship tho one with the| other,and loving our neighbor,will build towns and factories and church-|es,What Christ said was absolute-|ly new to the world when he said it.| unto,us—would be almost absolutelynewtoday.But business men are .Seedsmen,-Richmond,Va. trying it,and it works.It.makes money.It makes towns.<Athd it ee ene eenad Be a eeene eae State High School -at-Harmony:a ,Pe"State gtpleThatWillHelpUstoGet} interesting.The high Doing what he said—really doingto |others as we would have others do| periculuce and-Domestic Science+Taught in Connection With the A brief lock-in on the State HighSchoolatHarmonylastweekwasischoolhasbeenconductedatHarmonyforsev- eral years.The present principal isMr:J.O.Overeash,Jz.,of States-ville and Miss Euni¢s:Bvans is hisassistant.There is an enrollment of467andtheaveragedailyattend-ance is -135,Prineipal-_Overwhograduatedate»Universitydastspring,has charge of thesighth,ninth,tenth and eleventh grades athereare-37-pupils in the-high-sehoolaeraLastfailaFarmLifeSchoolbe-came «part of the Harmony schoolandtheobjectofthevisitwasmoreespeciallytoséehowthisdepart-ment was carried on.An.addition to the school building was erectedtoaccommodatetheschoolsofagri- culture and domestic science.TheformerisinchageofMr.J.H.Wes- Singer of Lexington,S.C.,and he has 45 pupils enrolled..Fifteen acresoflandhavebeenprovidedforprac-tical agricultyral work.The land is now being cleared and as yet noneofitisincultivation.The pupilsareatpresentstudyingagriculturefrombooks.As soon as the la can be put in shape’for cultivationtheywil)be given lessons in practi- eal farm work—shown how to applythethingstheyhavebeentaught from the books,Much progress isnottobeexpectedthisyear,as mak~ ing the start will be somewhat de-layed,but by and by,if the FarmLifeSchoolaccomplisheswhatis intended,there will a model littlefarmatHarmony,an object lessonforthecountryside,made by boys who will be theup-to-date and pro-gressive farmers of the future.

The insurance investigating com- mitteo at Raleigh is unearthing some interesting information.The insur- ance experts,like the railroad rate experts,can talk the average layman to a,standstill in the effort to make black appear white,but they can’t explain certain arbitrary increases and inconsistencies’in rates.The State,however,owes it to itself and the people as well as to the insur- ance people,to strictly enforce the fire prevention laws.The system of inspection should be rigid and the regulations rigidly enforced.When the people are made to take all neces- sary pretautions to prevent fires, which they should be made to do as a matter of right regardless of in- surance,then the insurance rates should be held to reasonable limits. The Monroe Enquirer last week got after the newspapers that t~lk about a “widow woman,”|“infant child,”etc.,but neglected to prod those who say one’s future is “be- fore him.”The Concord Tribune takes note’of these things and di- rects the Enquirer editor to I Kings, 17:9.In this verse Elijah the Tish- bite.was directed to go to Zarephath and dwell there,for “behold,I hxve “gommanded a widow woman there to sustain’thee.”The fact that the in- spircd writer thought it necessary to explain that this widow was a wo- man is embarrassing to some of us who have held up the Bible as “a well of Englisch undefiled,”as old rian Chas.A.Dana described it. Still we hold with the Enquirer that it is unnecessary in this day to de- scribe a widow as a woman. The fact that near 100 people left comfortable homes and braved the elements.Friday evoning to attend a meeting for the purpose of help- ing to advance the interests of the town and county was a manifesta- tion of a spirit that is going to do something.The people are,gener- ally speaking,willing enough to help on any good cause when shown the way.What we need to do now is to stop thinking about how much we can get out of anything,or how it will affect us,and instead think of what may be done for the gen- eral welfare to berefit all of us.Lots of folks have ideas about how things should be done,but let’s not quibble about methods,but rally to the plan agreed on and give it our hearty e organization,do it today. The Senate comn.ittce on postof- fices and postroads has approved an amendment to the parcel post act, Which provides that no further ex- tensions in the service shall be made unless authorized by Congress.In other words,the Senate committee @mendment ties the Postmaster Gen- eral’s hands and vests in Congress the power to ch-nge rates,to in- Crease weight limits,reform the zone Times and to make other exténsionswhentheservicejustifiesthem.Un- sxger saespiisy . said he,“is that a fair man whois not prejudiced against nie be select- ed.Let the party selecthim.”That’s sidering custom in this State,Sena- tor Overman’sattitude calls for com- mendation.It is sometimes the case| that a candidateWillretain the chair- manship of the committee “of his party in his own behalf,dr he will seek to dominate the committee and use it for himself or those he favors. By any sort of rule of right,justice, fairness or decency,the machinery of the party,which belongs to all the party and not to a factioh;.which is constituted and maintained to fight the opposite political party ‘and not to participate in fights within the party,should not be used in @ party contest.But so common is.the cus- tom in North Carolina for,persons who control the party machinery to use it in behalf of themselves or their particular friends in inter-party contests,that,those who oppose these methods are not infrequently de- nounced as enemies of the party be- cause,it is said,“they.oppose the organization.”That is to say,the Democrat who believes.that every candidate should have a square deal in the primaries,that every Lemo- cratic voter should be permitted to vote his sentiments,free and un- trammeled,and that the party ma- chinery should’not be used against one candidate or for another in in- ter-party contests,“is not “a good Democrat”because he “fights the or- ganization.”So far has “machine domination”or party bossism gone in this State that one hears that sort of talk in a serious vein.Of course it is absolutely indefensible and is the very opposite df true Democracy, but to such ends has party manage- mefit “degenerated in too many -in- stances. At the social service conference in Raleigh Friday;Saturday and Sun- day,a number of strong and able addresses were made.The address of the president of the conference, Mr.Clarence Poe,and that of Mr.R. F.Beasley,editor of the State Jour- nal,were especially strong and in- teresting. Baby’s Head in Bucket—An Excit- ing Time. Mt.Airy News. The baby did not exactly get in the gallon bucket but it came so near getting in that its mother,Mrs.C.E.Tate,who'lives near Mt.Airy, got the scare of her life.The little one,five months old,was in the care of its older sister and the little girl was entertaining the baby with a gal- lon friction-top tin bucket.In play-ing with the baby she put the bask:et on its head like a cap and when it slipped.down over its face,lo!she could not remove it.She called for Mrs.Tate and when she tried the bucket ‘would not come off but hungunder-the baby’s chin.Then thebabygotfrightenedandsodidey- erybody else,ari there was troubleaplenty:Te little One began to scream,and its mothér feared that it would smother in the bucket,which was a rather tight fit around its neck.Neighbors were sent for andfinallyamangottherewhowascool-headed enough to take his pock-etknife and literally cut the bucketoffthebaby’s head.It was an hourandahalfbeforetheygotthebuck- et off and to say the least it was an experience that that mother will nev- er welcome again.

Cansler appeared for Jetton and So-licitor Wilson was assisted by Messrs.Stewart and McRae,cmployed for the prosecution...After hearing the testimony and the argument,Judge Adams suggested that inasmuch asatermofMecklenburgSuperior Court began yesterday that the case take the regular course—‘wait forthegrandjurytoreturnabilland. then,if counsel for defence were not ready to try at this term,the mat- ter of bail could be considered along with the application for postpone- ment.This was agreed to. Mrs.Jetton,who is described as an attractive woman and who has been at the home of ker brother-in-law,Dr. McCoy,at Mt.Holly since the day of|the homicide,was the principal wit- ness and this report of her testimony | is.condensed from the Observer:| Mrs.Jetton testified that she is a native of -Mississippi,had visited in Davidson on four occasions pre- vious to her marriage to Mr.Jetton in October,1913,and had known Dr. Wooten for quite a long time.After arriving in Davtieen as a bride sheandMr.Jetton lived with his parents and had been housekeeping about a month.Asked if Dr.Wooten had visited her at any previous time,she stated that he had made three visits rior to the night of the homicide. he first of these was on the evening of January 22,when she was sick in bed.It was shortly after 7 o’clock and her husband answered the knock on the door.Doctor Wooten stated that he had called in case he couldrenderanyassistance.He had notbeensummonedprofessionally.After remaining a few moments,he left. The second visit was Scturday night, January 31;was not called profession- ally;did not hear him knock;asked j how I was feeling;told him that I had a dreadful cold;asked what I was taking for it,I told him;he saidhewouldwriteaprescription;made advances and kissed me but no im- proper proposals;did leave the pre- iseription at drug store where hus- band worked.On husband’s returnheaskedifDr.Wootert had called;told him ‘‘yes,”’did not tell him Dr.Wooten had kissed me for the reason that families were related and did ‘not care to bring about trouble.An- other visit was the following Satur- day night,February 7.Dr.Wooten came in door ‘and found me -in sitting room,asked how I was and I told him thet I was not feeling well.He said that neither was he.I told him The point wad stressed -shemadenoouterywhenshebeinassaultedbyDr.Wooten,as she al- leged,and the answer was that Dr.Wooten,a strong man,had his handoverhermouthandhadcommandedhertobequiet.She said she visitedtheWootenhomeincompanywithotherladiesandonlybecauseofthe relationshin’t remember what she said to neigh- bers the tof the homicide.Monroe Jetton,who proved agoodcharacterbyprominentDavid-son citizens,includin,PresidentMartinofDavidson’and Dr.Richards,the Presb pastor,said he watched Dr.Wooten on _theeveningofthehomicidebecausethelatter’s attitude toward him hadchangedandheactedsuspiciously;saw.Wooten go by the crossing thathewouldhavetakentohisownhomeandbeingsatisfiedthathehad gone to his (Jetton’s)home he putonhisovercoat,dropped in his pock-et a pistol he had kept in the store for several years,and went home.At the house he went to the bed room window,heard voices within and recognized them as those of hiswifeandDr.Wooten.He testifiedthathiswifewaspleadingwithDr. Wooten to leave. the window he turned the shuttersandsawtheshadowofthetwoontheshade—they being between thebrightfireandthewindow—and hesawDr.Wooten pushing his wife over on the bed.Again hearing her cries,he rushed around,sought to put the key in the front door but was ed through the sitting room -andpushedopenthedoorintothebedroom.He found Dr.Wooten at the foot of the bed and Mrs.Jetton wasintheactofturningupthelamp. As he went in he charged Dr. en with ruining his home and Dr. Wooten lunged at him,struck him and knocked him half down againstthewashstandandthenthrewhis arm over his neck asif to inflict seriousbodilyharm.Then he testi- fied that heranhis handinhis pock- et and fired once.Dr.Wooten,hesaid,fell back against the foot of the bed and he rushed out to sum- mon aid..Asked why,he shot,hedeclaredthathewasinfearofse-rious bodily harm,that he was al- most down and that Dr.Wooten wasalargerandmoremuscularman than himself.Jetton said he hadneversuspectedhiswifeofany wrong-doing.

469.43,it will be seen that it eost 73 cents to pay each $100 due the teachers in cities and towns.Thesefiguresnaturallysuggesttheques- tion,”says Mr.Andrews,“Why does it cost four times as much for the county treasurer to handle the ru- ral cshool fund as it does for the city and town trezsurers to handle 'ti:eirschoolfunds?Also it prompts thefurtherquestion,Is it necessary:out of each $100 paid for rural teachingtopaythecountytreasurer$2.63, and out of eac $100 spent for paying teachers for city scliools to pay 73 cents?The answer to this question is in part the pecs of countytreasurersonsalaries,and the fur-ther fact of using the banks as coun- ty treasurers,as is permitted under act of 1913 im 17 counties of theState.”Mr.Andrews has broughtoutsomeinterestingfacts,worthy ofconsideration.In most of the coun-ties of the State the office of treas-urer is a sinecure.Having this inmindMr.Henry A.Page,a practi-cal-business man,introdnéed a_pillintheLegislatureauthorizingcoun-ty commissioners to arrange withbankstohandlethecountyfunds—and any bank would be giad to re-ceive and pay out the money andrenderanaccurateaccountingwith-out cost to the county.But whenMr.Page’s bil)passed all the coun-ties except 17 were exempt from itsprovisions.ost : For years The Landmark tried tothinkwellofRichmondPearsonHobson.Soon after his Merrimac adventure,when the country was ringing with applause for his hero- ism in the Spanish ~American war, he made a short visit to,Statesville.The townspeople turned‘out to do him honor and he was so modest in his bearing and in what he said thathemadenosplendidimpression.He said in substance that the men whowentwithhimintheMerrimacaf-fair were entitled to as much creditas-he for the attempt to block theSpanishfleet;and neither by wordmormannerdidheindicatethathefelthehaddoneanythingunusual.Having this impression of the youngmavalofficer,The Landmark wasdisposedtodefendhimafterwardWhenthenewspapersridiculedhim.But whether Hobson’s head wasturnedafterhisvisittoStatesville,or whether his true character wasmotexposedhore;later years haveshownthatthereis“nothing to him,”to use the language of the street.Inpubliclifeheseemstohaveplayedthepartofthedemagoguetothefull;that part he has played to per-fection in his campaign against Un-Gerwood for the United States Sen-ate in Alabama.But while RichmondPearsonHobsonisbadenoughhehasabrother,S.A.Hobson,who should-n‘t be at large.‘The latter has cometotheaidofhis.brother—RichmondPearson—in the senatorial campaignandheroareextractsfromanarticlehewrotethenewspapers.S.A.Hobson thus says of.his brother,Richmond Pearson Hobson:“Despite the dastardly insinua-tions of certain jackals ***only speak the living truth when [Say that since the death of Christnomanhaslivedwhohadorhas Five Iredell Boys,Progressive Farmers of the Future,Produced An Aver-age of 749 Bu-hels of Corn on Five Acres. winners in the Boys’Corn club con- son.The top picture is Ervin Ches- ter of Chambersburg township,who won the county.premium of $22.50 with a yield of 91 bushels on oneacre.” The upper right and left hand pic- tures are Clay Hartness and Paul Williams,respectively,who won sec- ond and third premiums in north Ire- dell,with yields of ‘84 and 80 bush- els per acre,respectively.The low-er right and left hand pictures arethoseofEd.Brown and Ernest Hicks,respectively,winners of sec- ond and third premiums in south Ire- dell,with yields of 74.3 and 45.2 bushels,respectively.These five young farmers on five acres of land,made an average yield of 74.9 bushels per acre,which is agooddemonstrationoftheibili~ ties of Iredell soit when good,practi- cal methods of agriculture are «ap- plied.This yield was made in faceofthefactthattheyhadaratherdrysummer. past season was 62.4 bushels at acostof37c,per bushel. a net profit of $39.31 per acre,not including value of roughness andratingcorn’at $1 per bushel.Thisisquitea-contrast compared withouraverageStateyield,which is only18.2 bushels.But it shows the pos-sibilities of our soil when properly cultivating approximately 3.5 acteswithexpensivelaborwhenthesamecanbegrownononeacrewithone:third less preparation and cultiva-tion.

FRIDAY,«=--February 20,1914. == By the death of Senator Bacon of Georgia the country lost an able and trusted public strvant.He was con- servative and safe and honest:A modest man,he did not play to the galleries,but he was clean and faithful to his trust;the type of man that.can ill be spared from.public life. A company has offered to put in a gas plant at Hickory without asking local people to take a dollar of stock; construction work has begun on a gas plant at Gastonia;similar plants have been put in in Concord and oth- er towns of the State since the Statesville gas plant was begun about two years ago.Gas is much needed in Statesville and it’s a pity the.people.who..own the.property.of the Statesville plant can’t be made to proceed or get out for somebody who will push the work to comple-tion. President Wilson will veto the im- migration bill if it is put up to him with the literacy (educational)test. He.does not believe literacy is a test of character and thinks some oth- er method of keeping out the unde-sirables should be devised.It is,true that the successful passage of ah ed- ucational test is not sure proof that the immigrant would be a desirable citizen;nor the fact that he could not pass the test:evidence that he would be an undesirable.But some method to more effectually restrict foreign immigration is badly needed and pending something more substantia) it might be just as well to pass along the literacy test;unless the more effective restriction is-to come rightaway. The best story The Landmark has printed in a long time is that telling that five Iredell boys made an aver- age of 74.9 bushels of corn per acre on five acres,These are the win- ners in the boys’corn club contest in Iredell.:There were other boys, Near a score,who were in the con- test.They didn’t win a prize but they descrve commendation for try- ing.We can’t cll -be prize-winners but we can do our best and by and by ‘suecess will come,and in some form we'll win a prize.The Land- mark wishes the tiames of all the boys in the club had been_printed. But it wants to call on those who made an effort last year and failed to go in the contest again determined to win;and to urge a couple of hun- dred more to join the club.The real =is learning how to grow corn. ie boy who knows how to do some-thing well is on the way to success. .RICE: In his notable speech ata Lincoln Day dinner in Illinois,Oldjo Cannon, wha knocked about everything in sight,said of President Taft: “He was such a searcher after har-mony that he became our greatest creator of party discord,If Taft hadbeenchosenPopeofRomehewouldhavefiredthecollegeofcardinals and appointed Protestants;GreekChurchmenandTurksintheirplaces.”: “Many an old-fashioned Republi- cen in North Carolina,”says theGreensboroNews,“will have a sym-pathetic understanding of the Can- non “point.of view.”He will when he thinks of the Conner appoint- ment.But really,is it fair in Oldjo to knock Mr.Taft,considering thatitwasMr.Taft’s adherence to the Standpat programme of Oldjo and his kind that is generally believed tohhavebeentheundoingofMr.TaftandtheRepublean.party? Speaking of the onward march ofprohibitionandtheretreatofJohnBarleycorn,Everything says: “No living man would have believ-ed 25 years ago that the South wouldbefirsttogoprohibition,but it did;and while there is much likker con-sumed in prohibition territory thefactremainsthatthequantityisde-creasing,and the drunkards aregrowingless.It is a safe bet thatby1920wewillhavenationalpro-hibition.It is a safer bet that thou-sands of men who today are againstitwillbeinlinebythattime.If wehavesetthedatetooearlywehavenotmisseditfar.The Western coastcountryisarousedasneverbefore.Prohibition Sates are enacting lawsthatwilleventuallystopthejllicittraffic,and the boys growing up arenotaccustomedtobarrooms.A)}l re-forms come slowly,and they must,come deliberately.The prohibitionwavesthatstartedoutin1840wereshort-lived and didn’t.amount tajmuch.Now the sentiment is wide;|the interest deeper than ever before, the same ‘time>is prevalent in this State,That's why there are so many officeseekers.Most of the applicants consider ‘an office an easy snap.A lawyer in this State applied.for a position in the Federal service,He} was offeted the place but was told he could not practice law and hold the job.Then he refused the office.His idea was to take the job as a sort of side line,draw the $100 or more per and:continue his lew practice.A prominent business man applied for a similar position and then refused it when he found that he would have to give up his private business,Gov.Glenn ‘refused a place which required all of his time.He wants one in which there is little work so that he can devote considerable time to lecturing—pri- vate business.He not only proposes to take the government job as a sort of side line but demands that the salary shall be ample.When Mr.J. W.Bailey was appointed collector of internal revenue in Raleigh some ef his friends boasted that holding the job wouldn’t interfere with his law practice.Mr.Bailey made tio such claim.and he will,we are sure, give full attention to \the govern- ment’s business." Think of the nerve!A man de- mends a government jab on the ground of party serviceand_efficien- ey.Not content to take the job and devote his time to the work,.he in- sists that he be allowed to carry on his private business et the same time.Mr.W.T.Dortch of Golds- boro,a lawyer and local attorney for the Southern reilway,was appoint- ed United States marshal.It seems not to have occurred to Mr.Dortch that it was improper for him to hold on to his railway attorneyship.It is peculiar to railroad attorneys that they think they should continue their service for the railroads while at the same time serving the people in pub- lie position.The only thing that bothered Mr.Dortch was whether he should ride on‘his pass while per- forming the duties of marshal and give Uncle Sam the benefit,or should buy a ticket when he rode as marshal and use the pass as Attorney Dortch. He put the problem up to the De- partment of Justice in Whshington and the department told him to get out of one or the other of the jobs; that he couldn’t hold both.Mr,Dortch was doubtless surprised. All,these things show a decadence of the ideas of propriety .in publicservice.In fact it is amazing the things done these days in connectionwithpublicofficethat.are boldly andbrazenlydefendedas:proper. In this country when a fire oc- curs we sympathize with the loser and sometimes carry around a sub- scription paper to help make up the loss,when the origin of 75 to 90 per cent of the fires,probably,is due to criminal negligence on the part of somebody.The New York Tribune has something interesting to say on that point in the following: “It is worth while to save $4,000,- 000 worth of property,from destruc- tion;wherefore the reduction of our national fire losses by that amountin--1913 as compared with 1912 is cause for gratification.But even with that reduction the total loss last year,$203,408,250,is a reproachuponournationalefficiency. “In one year Chicago has $6,000,- 000 of fire losses;while Berlin,a city ractically the same size,has’only $200,000.Is that not.a

Senator Bristow’s.attack brought to the defense of the President several Republican as well as Democratic Senators,while it served also as the signal for opening the fight ‘within the Democratic party against repealofthetollsexemptionprovision. Senator Cha riain of Oregon, Democrat,dramatically declared thathewouldnot“stultify”himself by‘telling his constituents that~he hadotkepthis”platform pledge on the toll question “because the President of the United States does not agree with me.” :While Senators were thus engaged in the first open discussion of the ap- proaching battle in Congress.over the Chief Executive’s desire of reversal of the Panama policy,the President himself was engaged with leaders of the House who are opposed to repu- diating the declaration of the party platform.He discussed the situation with Majority Leader Underwood and Representative Kitchin of North Carolina,but so far as can be learneddidnotconvert.them to his viewthattheprovisiongrantingfreetolls 4o American vessels violates.the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and embar- rasses the administration in-its for- egn relations.

At the Sunday afternoon meeting Rev.John A.Rice,D.D.,of Fort Worth,Tex.,chairman of the Church and Social Service Committee of the Southern Theological Congress,spoke on “The Church and the New Social Hope.”The vital relation of the Church to the home,the schools,‘the State and the world of commerce, and.industry was discussed froce- fully,and the aggressive,all-pervad- ing influence of the Church,or more especially’of religion,was stressed. He took occasion to denounce scath- ingly a bill pending in the South Car- olina Legislature.to prohibit whité ersons from teaching negro schools. En the great.social uplift,when’it comes to saving souls,there must be no color lines,he declared. The other speaker of the after- noon was Dr.Shailer Matthews of the University of Chicago and president of the Federal Council of the Church- es of Christ in America.He plead- ed for a social uplift that will not only rescue the unsaved,but estab- lish his salvation by changing his environment in such way as to as- sure permanent saving force./He told of the campaign the Federation of the Churchés of Christ in Amer- ica is waging.

Vagraucy That Blights theWaneteManytoDividetheWealthAlreadyMade—-More Cre-ators of Wealth Needed—System ef Education and Training Must««Be Changed. From Clarence Poe’s Address at the Social Service Conference in Ral- eigh. Weare mightily concerned about “negro venues sometimes and run ‘them into calabooses to express our displeasure,but the big fact we needforevertorememberisthatthe,onlyvagrancythatcanreallyharmus is vagrancy in our own race—and thevagrancythatismostblightingof all is not that of ragged beggars,but that of men and women who boast of wealth,education or ances- try,but are not ashamed to be drones,idlers,parasites,in a day when the State calls for workers in a thousand fields.Let no man misrepresent me.here or think that I would appeal to class feeling.I would not,I recognizethefactthatwemusthavemenin the work of exchange as well cs in the work of production,and that in so far as men are needed for this work of exchange,they are as useful servants of society as the actual cre- ators of wealth.But the trouble is that there is in the South—in a measure,perhaps,all over the coun- try,but especially here in the South, where foolish and ruinous ideas about the lack of “dignity”in phys-ical labor’still persist—we have just twice as many men in these non- productive lines of industry as are needeq—twice as many merchants,bankers,lawyers,insurance men,etc.—while our young men of extraordi- nary ability and training are neglect- ing our great creative businesses,ag- riculture and manufacturing,and all the others.Go into .the North and West and you will find a much larger propor-tion of the leading men and the ed- ucated young men making the com- munity richer by running dairy farms,stock farms,fruit farms,grain farms,or running factories or brick kilns or machine shops,or building houses or making roads or draining land—creating more wealth in States gene wealthy—and a very much smaller proportion put- ting up little banks,little stores,lit- tle lawyer’s offices in towns alreadyover-crowded with such institutions. I do not forget,of course,there is other wealth besides “that of farm er factory.No one realizes more fally than I that the man who is in any vital educational work-——-whether in school work,jour- nalism,lecture or extension work— any man who is creating dynamic knowledge,which is power—is as definitely a creator of values as any- body else.“Nor do I yield to any One in insistence that intellectual,moral and spiritual values are evenmotepricelessthanphysicalvalues,and that the genuine poet,seer or minister of God serves the highestneedsofsociety.I believe the songsofJohnCharlesMcNeillortheedu-cational ideals of Charles D.Mclv- er constitute a greater North Caro- lina asset than all the wealth creat-ed by any North Carolina farmer ormanufacturerinourtime.But I am talking about our men who do not even profeds to be serving man’s Spiritual or intellectual needs,butareadmittedlyinthebusiness_of making money,of getting wealth for themselves;and I repeat that theStateispoorlargelybecauseour ablest and best trained men are likely to go into the business of get- ting money,not by creating morewealth,but by dividing up the wealth others are creating.We need more creators of Wealth. This then is the first and funda- mental thing in civilization =~build- ing:We must recognize that civil- ization is achievement and that achiqvement is only another name for work;government and society and the schools and the Church must hoor workers and ostracise shirk- ers;and we must see that work is directed into really productive andcreativechannels. But this alone is not enough.It is the high duty of the State to open the door of opportunity for everychildbornwithinitsborders,totraimeveryworker.The poet GraysawlongagothatEnglandhadhermute,inglorious Miltons,her Hamp-dems and her Cromwells sleeping infergottengraves,simply because“knowledge to their eyes her amplepegehadne’er unrolled”and —be-cause a chill penury had blightedtheirgenius;but it was generationsbeforethevisionofthepoetbecamealsethevigionofthelawmaker.The great need now is to developasystemofeducationthatwillcar-ry inspiration and richness and colorintethedailytasksofthegreatmassesofourpeople.Nor need webedisturbedbythosewhosaythatintrainingforworkandforefficien-cy,the schools will become less use-ful in building character or in de-veloping genius culture.There isjustasmuchcultureandcharactertraininginlearninghowtocaleu-lete a fertilizer formula as there isinlearninghowtocalculatelatitude and longitude;just as much culture in learning.the food values of thevariousvegetablesasthereisin learning to parse French sentences;just.as much culture in Jearning howtefightthebacterialinvadersofone’s own body today as in learn-ing how some emperor repelled mar-a invaders two thousand ye The trouble is,as Dr.Henry F.

It is when our schools begin to train for work and when our church- es and society give us an atmos- phere tonic with the spirit of broth- erhood that our civilization will come indeed into flower and fruitage.For a genuine spirit of brotherhood,we may be sure,will remove the condli- tions which now “freeze the genial current of the soul”for more than simply “the other half”of our peo- ple...We shall then have lawinekers, in the language of Woodrow Wiiso mor®concerned about human rights |than about property rights.Perhaps in.time pensions for needy old NorthCarolinamenandwomenpast70, such as I‘have seen gladden palsied | hands and wrinkled faces in foreign | climes,may not be dismissed as “so,|cialistic”here.I heard a man say the other day that within a mile of his house lived 500 men and women haunted.by the knowledge that a sin- gle case of sickness would throw the family upon public charity;but per-haps in time we shall have govern-mental “health instifance here as in England.Even now there are signsthatachivalrousStatewhosepeo- ple think eight hours labor enoughforastrongmanwillnotmuchlong- er permit boys and girls,many un- der 14,to wear out their lives with 11 hours’toil a day.And a State which now collects many times as much from a tax on kerosene forlightingthehomesofthepooras it does from an inheritance tax ontheestatesofwealth,I hope will yet see the wisdom of taxing thegainsofchanceorinheritancemoreandthegainsoftoilandindustryless—or not at-all.

Second.The colossal energies of our Christian churches must be di- rected more and more ‘to the task of bringing God’s kingdom on earth and to inspiring men with a vision of what His kingdom means. Third.Our schools,society and government must forever recognize that civilization is based on work, achievement,and nothing else;must honor workers and ostracise idlers. Fourth.North Carolina young men must be directed more and more into the ‘productive industries of agri- culture,manufacturing,etc.,instead of concentrating into over -crowd-ed non-productive professions and businesses.

TESTIMONY IN JETTON TRIAL, Hushand and Wife Reiterate PreviousStatemente—Testimony in PartContradictedByMrs.Wooten,Her’ Sister,Miss Potts,and Others. Condensed From CharlotteObserver. That Dr.W.H.Wooten,the victimofthe‘tragedy at Davidson.Febru-ary 10th,had been particularly in-vited by Mrs.R.M.Jetton,wife ofthemanwhofiredthefatalshot,to“come down and see her new dress” which she was to wear foGras—thus accounting.for his pres-ence in the home on the evening of the homicide;that Mrs.JettonhadexpressedthedeterminationontheafternoonofJanuary20toMissRena’Potts,a sister-in-law of thedeadman,to send for.Dr.Wootenifhertemperaturecontinuedandifshedidnotfeelbetter—thus in- dicating the professional.status ofthedeadman_in the home in ques-tiont that Mrs.Wooten would have accompanied her husband te Jetton home on the evening of thehomicidehadshebeendressedat the time and had she had on any- thing on her feet save her slippers—-thus showing that,it wasnotaclandestinevisitaswouldotherwiseappear;that on the eve- ning of February 7 Wooten could not have visit alleged to the Jettonbetween7and7:30 o’clock for the reason that his movements were traced all this time—thus tending to rebut Mrs.Jctton’s statementjas topreviousvisits;that Monroe Jetton was more like a boy in the Wooten family than a simple kinsman or friend,had frequently visited at the house and in the absence of Dr. Wooten had slept in the home as @ means of protection,thus in- dicating the intimacy of the relations between the two families—these weresomeoftheprincipalpointsbrought out by the State in a prosecution of the case wherein the young Davidson druggist was indicted for first degree murder tor the killing of Dr.Wooten. The substance of the testimony adduced by the defense consisted of a re-statgment of the facts surround- ing the tragedy as given by Mrs. Jetton,wife of the accused;the story of the accused himself;in which he recounted the hearing of the entreaties of his wife for Dr.Wooten to leave and then of the seeing of the tell-tale shadows on the drawn screen when Dr.Wooten pushed his wife over on the bed;of his breaking into the room and of the assault of thelargerandstrongermanuponhim and.of his fear of serious bodily harm following the encounter and of the firing of the fatal shot;which was followed by the testimony of Messrs, C.M.Stiles,John Christie,T.F. Lothery,J.A.Johnson,and others, all tendine to corroborate the ver- sions of the circumstances as offered by the only two surviving eye-wit- nesses.Prominent character wit- nesses were brought forward,the outstanding one being Senator John| Sharp Williams of Mississippi,who gave voice to the name and good re pute of the wife of the accused,who he declared was a young woman of| most excellent character.Other char-| acter witnesses were Messrs.W.T.| Stewart and G.R.Kemp,both of | Gulfport,Miss.,the former vice pres- ident and general manager of the Gulf and Ship Island reilway and| the latter claim agent.| The State introduced several new witnesses,principally Mrs.Wooten, widow of the dead man and Miss Rena Potts,his sister-in-law.Mrs. Wooten’s testimony was regarded as important because it gave a reason for Dr.Wooten's pregente in the Jetton home on the night of the tragedy and was hilso regarded as substantiating the dying statement of the dead man,although on this latter point,Judge Adams rated theevidenceout,He held that there was no testimony attacking the dying declaration and that until such was|the case,evidence on this pointwas |incompetent.Mrs.Wooten testified| about the visit of Mrs.Jetton to | her home on the afternoon of the tragedy and.of how,after giving a|general invitation for those present| to see her new dress,that ‘she had told Dr.Wooten specifically that “he ought to come down and see the dress.”Mrs;Wooten also testifiedthatshedidnotaccompan“Dr.| Wooten for the reason that os was hot properly dressed,had only bed- room slippers on and did not feel like going to the trouble to dress. Capt.Brown,President Martin of| Davidson College,Rey.Dr.Richards| and Dr.Monroe testified to the goodcharacterofMr.and Mrs.Jetton,| Mrs.Wooten,Miss Rena Potts and| other witnesses in the case.Dr.-Mar- tin said Jetton was a highly nervousmanandliabletobecome.offended| when there was little if <any real | grounds for it.Testimony as to the character of Dr.Wooten was ruled|out because the dead man’s reputation |was not attacked. Mrs.Wooten testified that on the |evening 0 February 7,when Mrs.|Jetton said Dr.Wooten called at her homea little after 7,that Dr,Woot-| en had gone to the train to meet his daughter,the train arriving at 7:30; *phone after he reached the station.|This testimony was corroborated byacoloredbarber;Who saved Dr.Wooten that evening,The testimony|of Mrs.Wooten and her sister,Miss|Potts,.contradicted other statements|of Mrs.Jetton.A sister of Mr.Jet-|ton denied that Mrs.Jetton asked Dr.Wooten,on the afternoon of the day|of the homicide,to call and see hernewdress,Witnesses also testified|to ~dying declatation srk Weot-en,Mrs.Wooten sa‘told herhewasinnocent.—te that she talked.with him over.the|* ITEMS OF ALL SORTS. }Mrs.Robert ‘Louis Stevenson,wifeofthe’famous novelist,died ofapoplexyatherhomeinMontecito,Cal.,Thursday.:The sale of $10,000,000 five pergentthree-year.notes of the South-ern railway ecompahy,secured by theGeneralmortgage4percentbondsofthecompany,is annotinced byPresidentFairfaxHarrison,THe pro- coeds are to be used in betterments in shops and road terminals. ‘Increasing the membership of theInter-State Commerce Commission to 4116 and dividing the country into fivedistrictswithheadquartersatWash-ington,Atlanta,Chicago,KansasCityandSanFrancisto,is proposedimabill.by Senator Kenyon.Threecommissionersinanydistrictmightdecideacasewhichcouldbeappeal-ed to the entire commission.

Before Agent Lail could finish his duties at the depot and return toMr.Bame,Conductor Preston Bar-ber of the freight train,which hadjustreachedthestation,discovered that the Smithdea!store was afire,gave the alarm and started for the burning building.He was joined byothersandwhentheyfeachedthestoretheyfoundthatthefrontdoorwasobstructedbytwoboxeswhich had been placed.against it on the in-side.Forcing the door open theyfoundtheflamesmaking.goodheadwayintherearofthestorearoundtheoiltank.It was also no- ticed that a burning lamp was on thefloorinfrontofthesafe,the door of which was standing opep,but Mr.Lyerly was not in sight.Two ofthemenwhofirstenteredthestorghurriedlyrolledthesafetothefront of the building and turned it over tootherswhowereenteringthefrontdoor,A.hurried search was made in the front storeroom for Lyerly,but the rear room,in which he conduct-a barber shop,could not be enter-ed because of fire.A few arm-fuis of merchandise were carriedfromthefrontofthestore,but thisworkwas.soon checked by the explos- ion of the oil rigs A tg caused the flames to spread rapidly. oot Mined.

Testimony Indicating Murder. It was brought out in the testimo- ny at the inquest that Mr.Lyerlyownednopistol,but had had in his possession during the past month or so a pistol belonging to Mr.G.W.Lowder,a friend who was formerlyachaingangguard.Mr.Lowder,who has recently spent much time with Mr,Lyerly at the store,stated that the pistol was kept in Mr.Ly- erly’s trunk om the second floor of the building,where he had sleeping quarters,and that the weapon hadbeenfoundintheruinsofthetrunkafterthefire.The >andcartridgeswereexhibitedanditwasfoundthatnoneoftheshellshad been snapped.on,though they had been discharged by the heat of thefire.The only other firearms in the store were two rifles and a shot gun and these were found in the ruinsatplacesWheretheyhadbeenkeptinstock.Mr.Lowder also testified that he was with Mr.Lyerly until about 5.30 Tuesday evening and left him in fine spirits;that he had nev- er known Lyerly to brood over any-thing and had never seen him de- spondent.This,with the testimony of others to the effect that Lyerly was in fife spirits and doing well, dispelled all.suspicion that he mighthavetakenhisownlifeandfiredthe store.Mr,Lowder also testified thatheandMr.Lyerly boarded at the same place—the home of Mr.Jake Barnhardt—though Mr.Lyerly.usu- ally slept in,his room over the store, taking his supper with him when he left Mr.Barnhardt’s at dinner time. Lowder had a suit case and some clothing in Mr,-Lyerly’s room in thestoreatthetimeofthefireand$55 in currency,which was in the suit case,was either destroyed by the fire or taken by the burglar.Mr.Lowder and others testified as to the fine character of the deceased mer-‘chant and his popularity among his friends and customers. Theories as to the Killing. Various theories are advanced as to.the circumstances of the actual murder of Mr.Lyerly,but the factsastothiswillprobablyneverbeknown,urfiless the murderer is cap-tured and makes a confession.Thegeneralopinionisthatarobberen-tered the store when he saw Mr.Lyerly ge to the postoffice,while some believe that Lyerly was calledtothebackdoorandahetwhenheopenedthedoor.The fact that Mr. Lyerly madq it a custom to stepacrosstothepostofficeintheeve-nings after No.12 passed leads sometothinkthattherobbermighthavebeenapersonfamiliarwiththisfact,who expected to secure his booty andgetawayduringtheshortperiodthatMr.Lyerly was out.of the store;or it may be that the bur-glar entered at the time with theintentionofstayinginthestoreun-der cover,until tL erly closed for thenightbeforemakinghishaul,and on being discovered fired the fatal shot.

The Store and Stock. The store building and stock which were destroyed were the pro’erty of Mr.H.T.Smithdeal Ad-vance,Davie county,who arrived on the seene Wednesday afternoon,hev-ing heard of the fire in Mocksville, where he was attending court as ajuror.Mr.Smithdeal stated’that the store was built about five yearsagoatacostofbetween$800 and$1,000 and the inventory of the stocktakenlastmonthshowedgoodstothevalueof$2,800.There was noinsuranceoneitherstockorbaild-ing,though Mr.Smithdeal and Mr.Lyerly discussed the matter of in- surance at the time of the inventoryanddecidedtotakesomelater.Mr.Ly@rly had been in charge of thestorefortwoyears,operating it onacommissionbasis,and Mr.Smith- deal stated that the business had grown steadily and was so gatisfac-tory to him that he had placed ev-erything in the hands of Lyesly,in whom he had great confidence. Had Some Trouble With Negroes. Mr.Smithdeal and others wereaskediftheyhadeverheardofLy- erly having trouble with any one,and Mr.Smithdeal stated that he did not believe Lyerly had an ene- my in the world.Other witnesses testified that Lyerly had had trouble with a negro about the Settlement for some corn a few months ago,andDeputySheriffHarrisofClevelandtoldofthreatsmadeagainstMr. Lyerly by Thurman Finger,a negrowhomthemerchanthadindictedlast fall on a charge of false pretense in connection with a debt.The negro is alleged to have said that Lyerly: might get the money out of him,but that it would never do him any good.The negro had at that time. been working as-a section hand in the vicinity of Barber,but he has not been seen in that section for several months.Questions |askedwitnessesastotheappearanceof any strangers in the community re- vealed that a strange ne,man was about the village Tuesday morning,begging,but there was nothing to eonnect either this negro or the twomentionedabovewiththetragedy.

NCCWhyisFebruary?If it is in or- der The Landmark would lodge a motion to eliminate the month from the calendar and the ground hog along with it. The Landmark is usually so full of live news—if we do say it as ‘shouldn’t—that it is not thought nec- essary to mention it.But in passing it may be suggésted that today’s pa- per is something of a “hummer,”as Col.Al.Fairbrother would say of his album of song.The Landmark man who went to Barber Junction for the story of the tragedy there,covered thé ground and got the facts as they -are. A writer in this paper protests against the constant urging of boys and girls to.stay.on the farm.It is lonesome on the farm,says.this writer,and the boys and girls can’t have any fun.Town is preferred, even though the work hours be long= er,because one can go to shows in the evenings.There is something to be said on both sides of this propo- sition,which The Landmark hasn’t time or space to talk about today ”but hopes to take upa little later, Meantime,the farmer boys and girls of Iredell are asked to write The Landmark their views of farm life.

Whether James M.Curley,mayor ef Boston,and on the rolls of Con- gress as a Representative from the twelfth Massachusetts district,shall be permitted to hold both offices,has been squarely put up to Congress by Republican Leader Mann.A_reso- lution introduced by Mann set forth that “thé offices of mayor and Repre- sentative in Congress are incompat- ible and it is impossible for one man to perform the duties of both,”and _proposed that Mr.Curley’s seat be declared vacant The resolution went to the judiciary committee,Mr, Mann is right.The seat should he declared vacant and the Democrats should not have waited for a Repub- lican to make the point.Curley can’t discharge the duties of mayor of Bosten and represent his district im Congress at the same time,and ‘the fact that he is trying to hold on to both places shows that he isn’t the sort of man to be trusted in eith- er office.Curley,however,once serv- ed a term in jail and his conduct isn’t surprising. In Lexington this week Policeman Leookabill of.Thomasville looked in om the Superior Court in session. That would have been an ordinary eccurrence ‘but for the fact that Offi- cer Lookabill had,prior to ooking in on the court,looked on the wine when it was red,when it giveth its color in the cup,when it moveth it- self aright.Having thus looked on the wine the wine moved Officer Laokabill to walk inside the bar of the court and look for a conspicu- ous place in which to plant himself. ‘(&fellow in his cups usually makes himself conspicuous under the del sion that nobody can discern his con- dition,when the condition aforesaid |eorres is apparent to everybody).Having planted himself in.the bar,where he doubtless felt that he had a right to be on account of his official position,Officer Lookabill looked about and4 Judge Lane,who was presiding at the court,looked on Officer Lookabill. Having looked on Officer Lookabill with displeasure rather than appro- ?bation,Judge Lane looked at the tlerk of the court and at the sheriff and made some remarks.Then Of- ficer Lookabill was given a look in- #ide Davidson county jail and he will look on the outside world through the iron,bars of that bastile until _five suns shall rise and set.Which should be'a warning to Officer Look- abil)that,when he looks again on the wine when it is red,etc,he should look where he is going and mot look too closely at a ©Superior _@eurt judge when court is in session, .Whereby be may be saved lookinginsideajail.

While the House of Congress Mon-day overlooked the custom of hav-ing a member read Washington’s Farewell address from the speaker’srostrum,to’commemorate the _firstPresident’s birthday,George Wash- ington’s participation in real estate deals at the national capital was a feature of debate on District of Co-lumbia legislation.reRepresentativeSissonof‘Missis- sippi,Democrat,was questioning the propriety of property éwning in the capital by Representatives in Con- gress and others having to do withlegislation.relating to.taxation of Washington real estate,when Repub-lican Leader Mann asked if the Mis- sissippian “meant to cast any re- flection on the Father of His Coun- try,”who owned a great deal of land in Washington. “J do not believe the Father of Our Country—”Mr.Sisson began, when Mr.Mann interjected: “He did the identical thing that the gentleman,condemns.” “At that time he was not a mem- ber of Congress,”replied Mr,Sisson. “He was never a member of either branch of Congress.” Mr.Mann replied that,neverthe- less,George Washington,as Presi- dent,had the veto power over con- gressional legislation. “I do not believe,if what they say about it is true,”responded Mr.Sis-son,“that it is to the credit of the Father of Our Country,that-he was interested in development.of real es- tate here.”v9 4“I thnk it very much to his cred- it,’Mr.Mann retorted,“that when the capitol was located here he en- deavored to develop it instead of op- posing it.”. Representative Garrett of Tennes-see interrupted at this point to re- nind the debaters that Washington city was never the seat of govern-ment while George Washington was President.y : Durham Merchants Turn Down Richmond.
