The audience which heard Mr.Bry- an is variously estimated,some of the estimates running to 2,000,but the Chautauqua gate keeper says that only 1,426 persons had.entered the gate up to the arrival of the Bryan party,which probably swelled the number to 1,450., The outstanding features of Mr. Bryan’s address.and those which seemed to interest his hearers most, were hig utterances on primary elec- tions and the initiative and referen- dam,two great reforms that are re- ceiving nation-wide attention and which are heartily advocated and championed by the Secretary of State and the administration of-which he is a part.His arguments for both were strong and convincing and there|w were doubtless many~in his.audience which regretted that he did not have more time.in which to discuss both great.questions. Before beginning his lecture Mr. Bryan expressed his pleasure at be- ing able to take a part in Statesville’s célebration of the Fourth because the day celebrated our nation’s birth,and at rio place can it be better celebrated than fr North Carolin«.There is no place where I feel more at home than in North Carolina,continued Mr. Bryan.It helped me at a time when1neededhelp,being one of the first of the larger States to declare for mein96.And I haven’t forgotten yourgenerosity.Josephus Daniels was one of the most important men_inleadingto-that condition.of affairs and my pleasure in the cabinet isyhade'greater because Daniels sits atthesanetableIdo.“T congratulate you on Raving the Chautauqua inyourtown.I believe in it.For 19yearsIhavebeenonitsplatform,as a-means of addressing the public.On three occasions I offered to abandon the Chautauqua platform,but as theofferwas’not.accepted 1 continued.

One man was killdd and three oth-ers were wounded in.a general shoot-ing affray which occurrd about 2.30o'clock Sunday morning among ne-groes in the camp of the HardawayContractingCompanyatthesceneoftheSouthernPowerCompany’s op-erations on the Catawba river,about13miles’west of Statesville.Thedead:negro was Forest.Nettles,aliasNesbit,alias Nedwood,whose homewasinGreenwood,8.C.He had ar-rived at the construction camp onlysevenoreighthoursbeforehemet death.The wounded are Pete West of Spartanburg,S.C.,who received a bullet in his left thigh which shatter-ed the bone;Tom Allen,another South Carolina negro,who has apainfulmuscularwoundintheleft shoulder,and Harry Smith of Con- cord,known at the camp as “Biack through both sides near the waistline.One of the balls penetrated the lower edge of a lung.The negrowhowaskilledwasshotintheeenter of the chest and died in a few sec- onds.Harry Smith,who is in jail in Statesville,is charged with firing the fatal shot. Trouble in a Restaurant. The shooting occurred in a_res- taurant operated by Tom Allen in the heart of the negro campgrounds. ite a number of negroes were in restaurant at the time and it isknownthatseveralpistolswereputintoplay,but the actual facts abouttheshootingwillprobablyneverbe ascertained.There are two or three witnesses,however,that assert posi-tively that Smith fired the shot which proved fatal.Nettles,who was kill- ed,had arrived ‘at the camp about sundown,accompanied by a “pal,” Ollie Hurst of Greenwood,both of whom are said to be professional gamblers,and it is robable that gambling was responsible for therow.When the trouble started it iselaimedthatSmithshotNettlesand the latter’s “pal”then opencd fire onSmith.The light in the room wasimmediatelyblownout,but.severalshotswerefired.in the darkness andtherewasageneralexodusfromthehouse.When the smoke cleared and lamps were b ton the scene itfoundreewasdeadand thréewounded’as a result of the shooting.Nettles walked from the house after receivingihis fatal’wound and fell about 60 fect away.’One of his com- panions suggested that he go to the doctor,but he said a doctor could do him no good.Hb died an instant later.Tom Allen jumped through a window and ran until he fell in a branch a short distance.from thehouse.His groans brought help.He claims that he was shot just as he went through the window.Pete West claims that he was playing the piano in the restaurant when ‘the shooting began and that he was’shot in the thigh as he left the house.Smith managed to get out of the house and was carried to the “shack”of a friend nearby.Hurst,who probably is re-sponsible for both bullet holes in Smith,is believed to have a wound in his leg.He ran from the house af- ter the shooting and started for thewoods.He is said to have fallen once,but immediately got up and went on into the woods,making goodescape.A pistol shot was heard in the woods a short time later,accom-panied by whistle calls.This is be- lieved to have been Hurst calling forhis“pal,”who he did not know had died from his wound. Officers Notified. The Hardaway company’s night watchman was the first man to arrive on the scene of the shooting and af- ter making a hurried investigation he arovsed others,who aided him in quieting the negroes.Dr.I.C.Evans,the construction company’s residentphysician,who had been awakened by the pistol shots,was soon on the cene and went about the task of dressing the wounds of the injured.The Hardaway company has_tele- hone connection through Catawba, t the Catawba exchange is closed on Sunday and efforts to get a mes- ‘sage to officers in Statesville by that means failed.Finally a man was sent to Mr.M.M.Witherspoon’s,where the nearest Iredell telephone is located,and Sheriff Deaten was notified from this point about 6o’clock.The sheriff immediately no-tified Deputy Sheriffs Gilbert and White of Statesville and officers at other points in Iredell and Catawba counties,asking them to look out for Hurst,the only one of the partici-pants ‘in the affray who had depart- ed from the camp.The first work of the sheriff and his deputies was to ‘visit the railway station and searchafreighttrainwhichcamefromthe west.The search was fruitless and the engineer of the train assured the officers that he had seen no one along the track between Catawha.andStatesville.Leaving uty White on guard at the station,Sheriff Dea- ton and Deputy Gilbert,accompaniedbyMr.Fred Deaton,who had assist- ed his father in the search of the train,went to the garage for theirautomobiles.In the meantime Coron-er W.A.Moose and J.Paul LeonardofTheLandmarkhadbeennotifiedto meet the officers at the garage to ne-‘eompany them to the river.e 4 Deputy Sheriff H.L.Gilbert of Shilohboanabde:ne pitas up.Mr.M.M,Witherspoon also joined the party as it neared the river. Information Obtained With Difficulty. ‘Arriving at the river the officers were met-by Mr.R.L.Pearson,theHardawaycompany’s general super-intendent,Mr.W.H.Watson,man-er of the commissary,Mr.R,8.arson,who had arrived the day pre- vious,to.become the company’s specialcampofficer,Dr.Evans and’others.All these gentlemen -gave whit infor-mation they had and offered their scr-vices tn the investigation of the shoot- ing.Sheriff Deaton and his deputies,assisted by Supt.Pearson and others, went about their task .immédiately, and a task it was;At first none ofthenegroeswouldtellanything,those who were’shot claiming that they were all innocent bystanders and didn’t know how it all happened.Butitwasnetlonguntiltheofficersbe- gan to get the chain of evidence,link by link,and afte?a time the negrocs began to give some information.Ac- cording to the information securedthecircumstances.of eWereabortmetotaboveingwitnesseswhostated positively that Smith fired the shot which killed Nettles,it was decided that no in- quest was necessary and the dead body was turned over to Mr.Pearson. The latter had already made prepa- rations for the burial and about noonthebodywasplacedinacoffinandtakentoagraveyardaboutamileup the river.y Party Entertained at Dinner. Sheriff Deaten and members of his party did some scouting over the hills and through the woods searching for some trace of Hurst and it.was thought that his trail was picked up at a number of places,but no prog- ress was made in tracing him.Hav- ing just arrived at-the camp the cvc- ning before he had made few ac- quaintances among the negroes and it was not thought probable that he would remain in the vicinity.The search for him,however,will con- tifuc.» (Walking over the rugged country about the river is very tiring and by noon Sheriff Deaton and his party were a hungry lot,some of them hav- ing left town without breakfast. Manager Watson was asked to let the party have some canned goods,etc., fromthe commissary and was in the act of doing so when Supt.Pearsonappearedonthesceneandstatedthatdinnerhadbeenpreparedfortheen- tire party’at the company hotel and that all were to be his guests.He experienced littie trouble in prevail- ing on the party to go with him,and it was good'for them that they went. The dinner was an excellent one,the menu being as good as is to be foundinthecityhotels.Thc members ofthepartygreatlyappreciateMr. Pearson’s hospitality. One Found With a Pistol. After -dinner Sheriff Deaton, Deputy Gilbert and the newspaper man were seated on a lumber pile dis-cussing the situation when a couple of negroes passed.One showed that hc was rather nervous and the im- rPression of what was supposed to beapistolinhispocketwasnoticeable. The sheriff stopped him and although he declared he was unarmed,a SmithandWesson32-caliber special was found in his pocket and he was placedunderarrest.He had not taken part in the shooting the night previous, but was prepared for just such an oc- caSion.He gave his name as JedPattonandsaidthatthepistolhad been left at his home by a friend and he was simply taking it to its owner. Negroes Committed to Jail. Early in the afternoon the officers agreed that they had secured about all the information obtainable and itwasdocided:to return to Statesville. Dr.Evans assured the officers that it would be safé to move Smith andhewasaccordinglyplacedinone‘oftheautomobilesandPattonoccupied a seat in another.Aftcr these had been safely lodted in jail,the officers returned to the river and brought in a couple of witnesses to the shooting. Smith was given a hearing beforeJusticeMoore,who committed him tojailwithoutbail’to await Superior Court.Patton was also given a he..r- ing for carrying a concealed weaponandwasremandedtojailindefault of $100 bond.The witnesses againstSmithtestifiedthatthetroublestart- ed between Nettles and Smith and that Smith,who seemed to be the ag- grressor,fired the first.shot—the onethatkilledNettles.Nettles,it is claimed,had no.weapon and asked Smith not to attack him because he was tnarmed.fter Smith fired,asstatedabove,Ollie Hurst fired on Smith,tho light went out and the shooting continued for o minute or two in the dark,with the results asgiven, Liquor and Cocaine. Supt.Pearson,Dr.Evans and oth-ers attribute the trouble among the negroes to liquor and cocaine.They say that so long as these can be keptoutofcampthereislittletrouble,and after.they get the camp well cs-tablished and their system of man-agement well under way they’do not expect so much trouble.Mr.Carson,who is to be the special camp officer, has had wide experience and is saidtobeafineofficersHesayshewillfirstendeavor.to get all the pistolsoutofcampangMathendoallhecantowardkeépingoutliquorandcocaine,Strifigent regulations havebeeninforceatthecampallalong, but it is almost impossible to handle150.negroes without occasional out» y was also oe by Chief oficeConner.and Mr,Frank Rhyne,and as the ines passed his home breaks,.Mr,Carson was deputizedby,Sheriff Deaton yesterday and %‘ame shootingAftertind REDUCED THE PRICE $65,000.

And this failure brings us back face to face with the original idea of democratic government —that the feast governed the better.We are of the opinion that’this principle of least government,which at first ro- lated to the restraint of the _indi- vidual citizen,will find its modern ex- pression in the simplification of gov- ernmental agencies.And the means by which this will be brought about will be what is known as the short ballot—that is,the election of few officers—and a means of makingthemdirectlyresponsibletothemost of the people.

FRIDAY,July 24,1914. cp ne ar oetbnieuenanns*THE LONG ISLAND MILL. ‘About’a month ago The Landmark reeeived a communcation from a cit- izen who alleged that a certain cot- ton mill in this vicinity (nariing it) was Violating the labor law by work- ing hands from 6 in the morning to 8 in the evening,and that the spin- nérs were docked 15 minutes daily. The zommunication was printed but the name of the mill was omitted for the reason;as stated at the time, tliat The Landmark had no informa- tion as to the reliability of the cor- respondent or the accuracy of —his statement. But the report has gone abroad re- cently that it the "mill,Catawba county,against which the charge was brought.This being was Long Island the full amount,It may be too much to hope for,but possibly we may yet see the day when (he fellow.who goes phout promiscuously slaughter- ing shade trees will land on the chain gang.

The Southern Power Company's Hy-dro-Electric Development at LookoutShoals—The Camps Establish-ed By the Hardaway ContractingCompanyandtheSystemUnderWhichtheWorkisConducted. While the present work is purelypreliminarytotheactualconstruc-tion of the big dam and power plait, a visit to the scene of operctions is convincing of the immensity of theSouthernPowerCompany’s Lookout Shoals developmont project:on theCatawbariver.The bare statementthattheprojectmeanstheexpendi- ture of a million dollars gives an ideaofwhatmightbeexpected,and yet the work in its very beginning is a great revelation to those who haveneverwitnessedtheprogressofsuch gigantic undertakings.Although hundreds of laborers will be employ- ed and the most modern equipment used in the work,fully 18 months willberequiredtocompletethedam,andpowerplantandfromnowuntiltheworkis,completed there will be noletupintheactivitieswhichbe- gan a few months ago when the Hardaway/Contracting Compost,which the contract to build.the‘plant,“bas Shy nae Now that the Yount property has been secur- ed and the permanent site of the dam decided ony no delay in the work is contemplated. Natural Conditions Favor Dam. The dam will cross the river at a int where natural conditions favor it,there being a high hill on the Ire- del)side of the river from which the construction work will begin,while on the opposite side there is another hill to within a short distance of the river,making a natural abutmentfortheotherendofthedam.An island divides the course of the river above the point where the dam is to be located and while it will be of ad- vantage in the construction work of the dam the island will of course becoveredwithwaterwhenthedamisclosedandthechannelsoftheriverareexpectedtofillwithsand,withinafewyears,up to the surface of theinland.The dam will be 80 feet in height and 12,000 feet in length and when closed will create a great body of water which wily cover approxi- mately 1,400 acres of land.One oftheadvantagesofthenewsiteisthatitaffordslargerstorageterri- tory for water.According to Mr.W.S.Lee,the vice president of theSouthernPowerCompany,only twofeet“moreoffall is gained by piac-ing the dam at the Yount site and the cost of construction,inéludingwhatwaslostbybeginningopera-tions at the upper site,will be aboutthesame.Thirty thousand horsepowerwillbedeveloped,the bigopeerhousetocontainthreeunits10,-000 horse power each:This power will be turned into the general sys- tem of the company and will be usedprincipallyinsupplyingStatesville,ickory,Newton,Linceinton,andotherpointswherethecompanyhas ¢eonnections,the present connections to be continued as reserve,sources ineaseoftroubleattheLookoutplant.

The Fruit Crop Short. The North Carolina fruit ¢rop will be short this year,according to thereport,issued by Prof,W.N.Hatt, State horticulturisté The is due to long continued drought from April to July.The grape crop will be nearly normal. Prof.Hiutt’s report.follows:Owing to the long continued drought our final report of fruit prospects for North Carolina has been the most belated one we have published in years.Though early spring _pros- pects were very favorable for a bumper-crop-of nearly all kinds of fruits,each succeeding day of the long extended drought lengthened the seasen of the “June drop”and thereby subtracted proportionately from the-final total.Orchards on which cultivation was started early and.persistently followéd through the dry spell sufféred very little from the drop.In fact under good tillagethe*drop saved thinning and left just about the amount of fruit the troes could carry.There .was,however, one advantage about tle dry spell,if it was bad for fruit it was also ‘badforinsectsandespeciallyfungasdis-eases.Early peaches showed practi- cally.no.brown rot even when un- sprayed.Apples,though a little small in size,are clean and free from seab and blotch.Bitter r couldscarcelysurvivethehot,‘parching days.éBlight‘seéms to have been worse than usual this season om pears and especially so on apples.
