Mrs.E.T.Ayers,her sister-in-law and Mrs.T.J.Ayers;who were in the living quarters on the second floor of the store building,witness- ed the exciting scene below through a window and Mrs.T.J.Ayers ran down stairs and aided the little girl in getting Mrs.Moore inte the store, As thestorm subsided men in a near- by store heard Mr.Ayers’calls for *help and ran to his aid cnd the horse was finally subdued.Mr.Ayers then mounted his own horse aud hurried into town’for a physician.Dr,E./M. Yount went to the scene in his au- tomobile and dressed Mrs.Moore's in- juries...She had received an ugly gash on top of her head and was badly bruised about the ‘body,but ~no bongs,were broken.After recov- _ering the shock she was able to be taken to her home.-Mrs.Moore’s *bugzy was equipped with a canopy top and she and her daughter were ~protected from the hail until after >the wreck occurred.When the buggy ‘struck the tree it turned over on its side and-one front wheel..and the \canopy top were demiolished. ~The funeral procession of the little child of Mr.C.E.Ritechic reached the business:section just.as the hail been falling and every horse in the procession attempted to run sway. Fortunately none of the drivers lost their nerve and there were no serious results.The funeral car and one car- riage turned around on east Broad street and were driven to Holland’s stable.Another carriage was driven into the Daniels stable on™Broad strect.Two drivers turned theirteamsoutDavieavenueandonreach- ing the home of Mr.T.J.Allison drove into the yard and found shelter. ‘The drivers of other vehicles managed to keep their terms in the street and the horses ran ll the way out Broad |»street to the‘cometery,and were stop- :in the cemetery house,The oc-cupants of the vehicles.were badly seat but no one was burt.After storm the funeral party assembled at the cemetery and the _interment “took place after a delay of about an hour.Several vehicles were damaged byhorseswhichbrokelooseinbacklotsandanumberofhorses;which wereleft.standing on the streets ran away,but so far as known no serious dam- Ame wasdone,A horse which broke é wi nos uae firstdisposed’tc V,|tativeorhisnote,but.on pressue from at aves ee ars *“y aeor ere ernment,ti garaFallslastweek‘a note from hischief.The mediators were not at Washington did so.note in ef-fect expressed surprise thiatorswereproceedingwithout con- sulting the Constitutionalists.Themediatorsaredisposedtogoonwith-out considering Carranza.wasaskedtosend.representatives at theoutsetanddeclined.The Washing- ton government,however,wants theConstitutionalistsconsidered’and itisprobablethattheirresentativeswillnowtakepartinproceed- ings.: aia NDasi President Wilson and SpeakerChampClarkweretheprincipalspeakersattheDecorationDayex-ercises in Washington,The.Presi-dent bad previously declined an in-vitation to k.His aeage ofplansisexp!in -the followingstatementissuedfromtheWhiteHouse:“When the invitation was extendedthePresidentinformedthecommittee that he did not think the nwouldbeopportuneforthedeliveryofanappropriateaddress,and be-cause of this he felt that he must de-cline the invitation,agreeing,how-ever,to attend a memorial service atalaterdate.Evidently a false con-struction’has been placed on his ac-tion and therein lies the reason for the change of programme.The Pres-ident was not willing that his =b-sence should be misconstrued.” No Prospect For Rain.

A Hail Storm of 30 Years Ago. Many people will say that the hail storm of Saturday was the worstever,but not so.Many Statesville people recall a hail storm on March25th,1884—80 years ago last March. The Landmark of March 28th,1884,has this to say of that stérm:“A little after 5 o’clock last Tues-day afternoon a~black,angry-looking cloud was seen approaching States-ville from the west.To the south ofitwasapeculiar-looking,copper-col-ored cloud...It waa not long beforeaterrificrainfallFeheré,accom-panied by vivid)|ing:The airwasstillandtherewasnosoundofthunder.The rain poured in onestraighttorrentforperhaps15.min-utes,when hail began to fall,firstinverysmallstones,these increasinginsizeasthefallcontinued.Thehailstormlastedprobablynotlongerthan15minutes,dnd with the fallofeachstonepeoplewonderedwhatwastofollow,as each was largerthanthelast.When it ceased thestreetslookedasiftherehadbeenasnowfall.The stones were of divers shapes,‘most of them,however,flat and double-concave,resembling largetomatoes.Some were lemon-shaped and fully .as large as turkey eggs.The largest of which there is any re- liable account measured.seven inchesaround..Some weighed:a fractionoverfourounces.More hail has fal-len here,probably,but never anysuchstones.Many of the lights werebrokenoutofthetobaccowarehousesandtheskylightsofotherbuildingswerebroken.”;This hajl storm of 1884 was a partofacyclonethat:did t damage atNewton.~The -passedaroundStatesville,going down Thirdcreek,It knocked a story off theWhitemill,other buildingsinthatvicinityanddestrogreatquantities-of ..The Landmarkofthedatenamedhadan,«ccount of MR.LITTLE'S.BARN RD Muleand a Cow Perish By the’—Loss About $1,000,suredMr.J.P.Little’s idrge barn,near his home on the Mocksvillejustoutsidethecitylimits,waetallydestroyedbyfirebetween1241o'clock Saturday night,Amperishedintheflamesand@finemcowwassobadlyburnedthatit nad|to.be killed.The other live stock dmthebarnwassaved.A.buggy,.a lot}of.harness,farming—imp nts, feed,etc.,and all Mr.Little’s paperwhichwereinhisofficeinthebuildisredestroyed.The barn was a rge structure,was acticallynew.and the loss runs consieeabia above.$1,000,the building ha costthatamountormore.Mr.Li \ a few hundred dollars of insuranee.The origin of the fire is w There was much passing -aleng “tlyoadlateSaturdaynightandit” pppeniile that seme.one--whe steppedidethebarntogetwaterat spigot in the rear of the dropped a match or cigarette,Thebarnusuallystoodopenandpeoplewereaccustomedto):for water.Mr.Little and son,Mr.Clyde Little,who had -been-out late,put up their horses about minutes before the fire was discover-ed,but they say they’had no fire about the building and left everythiningoodshapewhentheywentto@ house a short distance away.Little was in the act of leaving thehousetogotothehomeofMr.P.RePattersontositupthemr; of the night on account of the death of Mr.Patterson,when a man‘come ing down Davie avenue,who saw fire,gave the alarm. his sor’ran to the barn and fou the entire rear portion in flamés,Just as they reached the building : horse,which had broken from ‘stall,ranyout the front door and @cowwhich.was hitched:inside thebuildingbrokelooseandranputth rear entrance.This left a horse,@muleandacowinthebuildingand the Messrs.Little turned *at-tention to the horse.The frantic ani<mal refused to leave its stall and the two men worked with it for some (no the from the building.By this time the]flames had reached the cow and themule..The cow finally freed herselfandranfromthebuilding,breakingtheafteritwaspartiallyburned.

COMMENTON VARIOUS MATTERS It’s all very well for the Presbyter- jans and the Methodists to put re- strictions on the use of tobaeco,but it is not supposed that the North Carolina division of those denomina- tions voted to impair the business of Brethren Watts and Duke,seeing they have always held out the glad hand for the “kale”these gentlemen made out ofthe weed.‘ ~ Despite all the safety appliances of modern invention,they that go Jown to the sea in ships are in great danger.The awful disaster of the Titanic is yet fresh in our minds;only a few months ngo there was great loss of life as a result of a tollision _,off the Virginia coast;and now the great disaster on the St.Lawrence, which rivals the Titanic in loss of life.Both the latest disasters were due to collisions in fogs;«nd the Ti- tanic collided with aniceberg. The Thomasville Davidsonian says the folks who feign sickness to escape appearing at court for trial didn’t get by Judge Lane at the recent term of Davidson Superior Court.It seems there was an epidemie of sickness among defendants bound over to Davidson court for retailing.The Davidsonian says two physicians were sent down in Tyro,twelve miles away, and a physician was séfit to-“Phomas- ville to investigate the sickness of those scecused of retailing.In each case it was found that the sickness ~was more in the form of a “nervous breakdown”and in both cases upon being told that they must appear in court,they did so. The Washingtor correspondent of the Charlotte Observer intimates that the North Carolina Democrats who have secured seats at the pie coun- ter are manifesting no zeal to turn loose campaign funds to help keep the party in power.The national com- mittee is trying to raise a fund to help meet the expenses of this year’s campaign.Members of Congress have been asked for $100 each,whic! seems reasonable,but they have not tumbled over themselves to respond. Gov.Glenn,who recently secured a place on the boundary commission, declined to contribute and called at- *tention to his past services as a cam- paigner.-Candidates and officehold- ers are called on for contributions on all occasions and for all sorts of pur- poses;but it would seem,seeing that they are special beneficiaries of party success,that they should be the chief contributors to the necessary expense of a campaign. *-* Sometimes conditions are reversed in a hazing case and it is the haz- ers who suffer instead of their in- tended victim.At Annapolis last week “upper classmen”in the naval acad- emy were attempting to haze five freshmen who had barricaded them- selves in a room.While the upper classmen were trying to force an en- trance into the room a shot was fired from within and one of the hazing party was fatally wounded.There should be no feeling of satisfaction that anyone has met violent death, but if one must make choice between the hazers and their victims then it is the latter who deserve to svffer, They are engaged in a lawless act; they are,by force of numbers,at- tempting to commit a cruel wrong; and if they suffer for it they get what they deserve.It took a decth at Chapel Hill ta,arouse the people of the State to the enormity of the out- rages perpetrated by hazers in our educational institutions,and it is hoped that this incident at Annapolis will result in good. . It seems to The Landmark that President Wilson.was unfortunate with reference to the invitation to speak to the Grand Army v-terans in Washington on Decoration Day. He had previously accepted an invita- tion tc spe:.k at the upveiline of tne Confedleraté ronument in Washing- ton June 4th.Being a Southortier,it was unfortunate that the President should accept un irvitation to speak ut the unveiling of a Confederate monument and then decline an_in- yitation to speak at a service in honor of the Union soldiers.We hhve no Ydea the President thought of show- ing preference for the Confederate event.But when this began to be talked he realized that he had made @ mistake,reconsidered and accepted .the invitation to speak to the Union veterans.This was probably best, _but he will get no credit for his re consideration from those who Wish to.@riticise hint The Republican poli ticians will seek to array the Unior _soldier vote and its influence against the President and he will be charged with being a rebel sympathizer *To Cure a Cold in One Day 4 LAXATIVEBROMO Quinine.5«}er Headache and perks oft the ColdieROVE'S money it fails to cure,Sete os “S SHIPSINKS ON ST.LAWRENCE. TheEmpressof Ireland Sinks on the St.Lawrence River,Canada,in Sight of Shoreand More ThanNineHundredPersonsPerish—Resultof Associated Press Dispatch. ‘Sinking in 90°feet of water within15minutesafterbeingrammed:amid-ships in the upper reachée of the St.Lawrence river,early Friday,Canadian Pacific liner Empress ofIrelandcarrieddownwithhermorethan900ofherpassengersandcrew.Of the 1,367 persons on board the liner,only 483 are known to have,been saved,making the probable death Hist 934. Looming up through the rivermists,as the Empress of Ireland waslyingto,waiting for the tog to lift or day to break,the Danish collier Storestad crashed bow on into the side of the big Canadian liner,strik- ing her about midway of her length and ripping her side open clear to the stern,The crash occurred not far from the shore off Father Point,150 miles from Quebec,which the Empress of Ireland left Thursday afternoon bound for Liverpool,and 10 miles from Rimouski,Province of Quebec, on the St.Lawrence.In reality, therefore,although the liner was heading for the sea and the collier coming in from it,the disaster wasnotoneoftheoceanbutoftheriver.Unlike the Titanic’s victims,the Em-press of Ireland’s lost their _liveswithinsightofshore—in land-locked waters.Immediately the ships crew recov-ered from the shock of.the collision and when it wag seen that the liner “S.O.S.”call was.sounded. Rescuers Arrived Too Late. The hurried appeal:was picked up by the government mail tender Lady Evelyn at Rimouski and the govern-ment pilot boet Eureka at Father Point,and both set out to the rescue.So deep was the hurt of the Empress, however,and so fast the inrush of waters,that long before either of the rescue boats could reach the scene the liner had gone down:Only floating wreckage and a few lifeboats and rafts from the steamer,buoying up less than a third of those who had set sail on her,were to be found.The rest had sunk with the liner,had been crushed to death in the Stor- stad’s impact with her,or had been forced from exposure in the ice-chilled waters to loose their hold onbitsofwreckageafidhaddrowned. Collier Disabled. Only a few persons were picked up by the Storstad,which was badly crippled herself,and these were brought to Rimouski by the collier as were those saved by the Eureka and the Lady Evelyn.Twenty-two of therescueddiedfrominjuryorexposure. The others,most of whom had jumped into the boats or plunged in-to the water ffom the sinking liner,scantily clad,were given such cloth-ing as the towm could supply,andlaterthose-who “could travel were placed on board a train and started for Quebec. \Accounts agree that in the brief space of time—not more than 14 min- utes—between the shock of the col- lision and the sinking of the liner there was little chance for systematic crshalling of the passengers.In- deed,everything indicates that hun-dreds of those on the steamer prob- ably never reached the decks.Few women were among the saved,not more than a dezen,the lists make itappear. No Chance for “Women First.” ‘Tt all happened so quickly we did not really know what was going on and nobody had time to cry ‘Women first,’”one of the passengers told Captain Bellinger of the rescue boat Eureka. “The stewards did not have time to rouse the people from their berths,”the survivor added.“Those who heard the frenzied calls of the officers for the passengers to hurry on deck,rushed up,piled into the boats,which.were rapidly lowered and rowed away.Many who waited to dress were drowned.” Boilers.Explode, The horror of the interval during the time the Empress was filling and the frightened throngs on board her were hurrying every effort to escape before she sank was added to by an explosion which quickly followed the ripping given the liner by the Stor- stad’s bow.According to one of the rescued,the explosion probably was caused by the water reaching the boilers,bulged the liner’s sides andcatapultedpersonsfromherdecksoutintotheriver.The ship’s heavy list as water pouring in,weighting her on the side she«was struck,made the work of launching boats increasingly difficult and when she finally took her plunge to the bottom scores’still left.on her decks were carried down,only a few being able to clear hersidesandfindsupportonwreckage. From all accounts Captain H.G. Kendall,of the Empress of Ireland, bore himself like a true sailor.Heretainedsuchcommandofthesit-uation,it appears,that whilo’the Storstad’s stem still hung in the gash it had made in the Empress’side, Captain Kendall begged the master of the collier to keep his propellers go- ing so that the hole might remain plugged.The Storstad,however, dropped back and the Empress~filled and foundered.

HELPING GOOD GOVERNMENT. Col.Roosevelt is Working For GoodGovernmentByMaintainingtheSplitintheRepublicanRanks. Baltimore Sun. Next to Woodrow Wilson,the manwhoisdoingthemostefficientwork for good government in this countryia.Theadore..Roosevelt,Thelatter,by maintaining the split intheRepublicanranks,is insuring:as no one else could the continued con- trol of Congress by the Democratic party.He is doing it at a critical moment. The second year of a new administra- tion is always its weakest period. Time enough has not elapsed to provethevalueofitspoliciesandreforms, but:just enough time has.elapsed to give the opposition an opportunity to carp and criticize and to create dis- sension and foreboding in the party ranks.The flood tide is over,the ebb tidé is running strongly.President Wilson’s splendid record and_his equally splendid leadership have pre- vented the—reaction in the present instance from reaching its usual strength,but still there was always the possibility that the Democrats might lose out at the congressional elections—until Colonel Roosevelt ware in.: is course makes almost certain an increase of the Democratic ma- jority in the Senate and no appreci- able diminution of the large majority in the House.With Mr.Beveridge running for the Senate in Indiana, Mr.Garfield in Ohio,Mr.Pinchot in Pennsylvania and Mr.Straus in New York,there can be little doubt that the Democratic candidates will be elected,and in cach case but that of Indiana the present Senator is a Re- publican.The House,too,will re- main Democratic by a huge majority if the colonel carries out his inten- tion to have Progressive candidates run in every district where it is pos- sible to make a contest.{ Colonel Roosevelt must ruin the old Republican party beyond repair before either “the Progressive partycantriumphortheG.O.P.be given into his hands.Therefore his main struggle,however much he may rageagainstthePresidentandCongress, is with the Old Guard.Democrats can look complacently upon the fray. Hood Had Plurality in Third District —Convention to Name the Man. The Democratic committee of the third congressional district,which met at Goldsboro last Wednesday to canvass the votes cast in the prefer- ential primary held in the district May 16th,adjourned Friday without declaring the nominee.Geo.E,Hood of Goldsboro.had a plurality and Thomas of Craven was second, Hood insisted that,under the regula- tions of the primary,he should be declared the nominee,but as he lack- ed 452 votes of having a majority the committee,which was divided on theinterpretationoftheprimaryregula- tions,decided to certify -the result to the congressional convention,whichmeetsinGoldsborotomorrow,.and. the convention will decide on the néminee.

TUESDAY,- --June .2,1914, iA primary is not a panacea for all political ills,but such affairs as the congressional convention of ‘the tenth district will hasten the end of the convention system,which has out- lived its usefulness. The government.road money that was to.come to North Carolina and has not,threatens war.Editor Var- ner of the Lexington Dispatch and Parker Anderson,Washington cof- respondent ,of the Greensboro News, each accuse the.other of side-step- ping the truth with reference to Davidson county’s portion of the fund.Somebody should tender friendly offices in the way of media- tion before hostilities begii: *For the next two weeks the mat- ter of chief interest in Statesville will be—or should be—the union meeting now in progress in the Hen- kel company building on Center “ptredd:°°"Uniustinl preparation —ius been made for this meeting and it should be largely attended.The old-fashioned gospel,we are assiired, will be presented in a plain and sim- ple manner;and this old story,ever new,canhot be heard too often.ESERNNNETENETS It’s all very fine to get money from the government,but if the road from Statesville to Winston-Salem is to be built soon the counties interested had just as well put.up the money and go ahead with the job.The sum the government proposes to chip in is about to cost more in time,trouble and annoyance than it’s worth.—Ire- deli has built a system of roads with- out government help and the county can surely build this one to the Davie line without help. The final tabulation of the loss of life in the disaster on the St.Law- rence river,reported on the second page of The Landmark,shows a loss of 969 lives,418 of the passengers and crew having been rescued.The story told by the captain of the lost Ship indicates that the collier Stor- stad,which rammed the Empress of Ireland while the latter was waiting for the fog to rise,was to blame:The collier has been tied up at Montreal by a writ claiming $2,000,000 dam- ages for the wrecking of the Empress of Ireland. Sometimes older citizens who relate unusual events of the past are heard with a smile of doubt.Even when they.arc not accused of downright lying,their memory is believed to beatfault.Few of the younger gen- eration would believe,for instance, that hail stones that measured seven inches around and weighed fourounces,fell in Statesville on the 25thofMarch,1884,if the proof did notaccompanythestatement.TheLandmark’s.files furnish thé proof,which is printed in another ¢olumn:The hail storm of Saturday wassomethingofastorm,but it was notuptotheoneof30yearsago.

Charles 8S.Mellen,former presi- dent of the New Haven,has been telling on the witness-stand the mostsordidstoryofcorporationcorrup-tion that the country has heard since the life-insuranee investigation. In many res the two stories run parallel.e have the same be-trayal of trust by highly respectable financiers;the same conscienceless waste of other people’s money;thesameallianceswithcrookedpolitics;the same debauching of newspapersandofpublicopinion;the same trail of iniquity and_ruin. What was in the minds of Mr.Mor- gan and Mr.Rockefeller and their as-sociates when they forced the New Haven into this policy and guided it to plunder and disaster?They did not need money;for they each of them were many millionaires in one. They did not need power;for they had power,and inexhaustible means of acquiring further power.What is_more to the point,the vast power nat they wielded was due largely to their reputation for financial integri ty,:prudence and sagacity—the very antitheses of the qualities that they displayed in their New Haven trans- actions.* They could not have bolieved thattheirscandalousexploitationofthis great property would bring them ad ditional wealth that)was worth while. They could not have believed that itwouldbringthemnewpowerandin- fluence in the domain of finance.They could not have believed that they would.gain a new measure of popularesteemandpublicapprobation. They were in no extremity that drove them to this devious trcil.What they did,they did in cold blood and cold calculation.What,then,is the mystery of their conduct? The World can find no answer this question.

A dispatch of the same date fromNiagaraFallsstatedthatmediation: waited on Carranza’s answer.The mediators have not literally invited the Constitutionalists anew,it is stat- ed,but the phraseology of the note is said to be such as to pave the way for their entrance to the negotia- tions.It clarifies misunderstandings that have existed.The American delegates have suggested no specif- ic agrarian plan nor do they intend ta,.do,..80,...What the.American gow ernment and the mediators desire is that the new provisional government shall be morally obligated to.disposeofthelandquestionwithjusticeto all interests. dt is known the mediators want the Constitutionalists to come into the conference so that the solution by peaceful methods may be a historic example to pan-America of the.way revolutions can be ended in countries of this hemisphere..But if the Con- Stitutionalists refuse to enter media-tion will proceed.An agreement will be reached between the United States and .the Huerta administration, through which a new ‘government will be set up.The international conflict will have been resolved and the probability is that Argentine, Brazil and Chile will accord recog- nition and moral support to the new provisional government.The United States would be expected to do liké-"wise.

Democratic Convention in Tenth Dis trict Unable to Make a Nomina- tion,Refers the Selection of a Candidate to a Primary to Be Held in August. Waynesville Dispatch,2d,to Greens-. boro News. Another primary,possibly twe oth- ers,must be held in the tenth North Carolina congressional district in or- der that the Democrats of the district may select a congressional candidate. They failed utterly to make such a selection in the convention which con- vened.here ‘last.Friday,May 29,and elosad ais efternoch:1b Was possi- bly the most hopeless dead-locked po- litical body-ever assembled and when this was finally realized by the dele- gations they adopted a resolution to refer the nomination back to all the Democratic voters. The primary will be held August 15,and if no candidate receives a ma- jority vote a second primary will be held August 29 to be participated in by the two highest candidates.Selec- tion willbe by popular vote and not by county unit. The convention just closed has been a memorable one.The delegates bal- loted 471 ‘times and the intense in- terest evidenced at the beginning never waned;if possible it increas- ed.There were five candidates in the race:Congressman James M. Gudger,Jr.,Judge James H.Merri- mon,Walter E.Moore,John O.Har- rison and Robert R.Reynolds,and the only time a nomination seemedimminentwaslateSaturdaynight when the Harrison and Merrimon delegates were released.Congress- man Gudger came within approxi- mately six votes of the nomination then,but the everlasting deadlock was firmly”re-established Monday when the Merrimon delegates againrallied‘to their standard-bearer. There might still have been a nomi- nation had there been a break in Mr. Moore’s Jackson county delegation, but they stood as solid as a rock wall throughout.Dark horse candidates hwere considered in caucus but inva-riably they were rejected. This afternoon at 38.45 ©o’clock, when the situation seemed hopeless, the resolution was introduced pro- viding for another primary.The res- olution came like the explosion of a bomb,so unexpected was it,but.the men who had been battling for their friends for four days,weary in mind and body,but still determined, grasped it as a drowning man grasps a straw.

Inasmuch as the Statesville Chan- tauqua will be in session from July 1 to 7 it was hoped that.one of Mr.Bry- an’s dates would be in Statesville,It is reported,however,that Reidsville, Asheboro and High Point will be the places honored by the Secretary of State on the nation’s natal day. —_—+ a The Newton Enterprise .says the Catawba lady who flagged a passen- ger train about to run into a burning trestle,used “‘her long work apron” for a flag.The Newton correspond- ent of the Charlotte Observer,relat- ing the same incident,says “she ran into her home and got a red cloth.” The proceeding was irregular,in the case of a lady,unless a red petticoat was used.That is the.signal pre- scribed for such occasions. iThevotersofAlexander county will decide next Tuesday,9th,the question of a bond issue for public road improvement in that county.If the bond issue is voted it will be the best day’s work done for Alexander in the history of the county.Good roads are no longer a luxury.They are an absolute necessity for any county that does not want to lag in the rear.The success of the bond issue in Alexander means a wonder- ful development for that county. ‘The row in the third district Demo- cratic congressional convention is a xeminder of the old days when negro delegates attended Republican con- ventions.Reports of the Goldsboro disgrace rival Red Buck Bryant’s re- port of the famous sixth district Re- publican convention,in.which there was a free-for-all fight.Democrats were supposed to be above that sort of thing,especially in these days of drought.LRNRNNNCNN Friends of the State University frequently call attention to the fact that the institution receives from the State for support.much less money than any similar Southern institution, Re-emphasizing this fact at Chapel Hill this week,the new president,Dr. Graham,said that the amount per student received by our University is $192 while the amount received by other Southern Universities ranged from $201 to $550 per student.The University needs more money,of course,and so do all the other State jnstitutions.All of them are ham- pered for lack of means.But while stressing the University’s need,Dr. Graham said that of the 13 Southern Universities which are receiving more money than our institution only two have the same standing.Which is to say that thoney alone ‘doesn’t make a university;and the fact that of all the institutions which have been getting more money than ours only two have attained the standing of our University,is not only evidence of the excellent work done at our insti- tution on a small amount of money, but conclusive evidence that big ap- propriations alone do not mean great- er things. The Rowan county commissioners have authorized and empowered the superintendent of the convict.force “to inflict such reasonable corporal punishment upon the convicts as will secure a compliance with the orders of the superintendent.”This order was given as a protection to the su- perintendent in securing discipline and was considered necessary be- cause of a recent ruling of the Su- preme Court.‘Two guards who had whipped a convict in Wake county were held guilty by the.Supreme Court.The court did not say that whipping a convict at any time was a violation of the law,that question not being directly before the court. But it was held in the Wake case that there were no rules and regulatioris provided by the county commission- -ers for the government of convicts; that the convict whipped by the guards had not,therefore,broken any rules and regulations provided _by lawful authority;hence the pun- ishment imposed by the guards in their Own discretion and of their own will,amotited to an assault and was Wegal.The court intimated clearly that convicts might be punished for violations of rules and regulations made by the county commissioners; and 80 the commissioners of every county that maintains a convict force should take some such action as that-,authorized the Rowan commis-_sioners,if they would have.discipline| enforcedintheconvictcamexposingthe—superi‘i “guards to thedagen without mt.andindictment. Sao:atin“iReferring to the chargeby the[Southern Presbyterian General As- sembly,that the Associated Press re- ports are dominated by the Roman Catholic.Charch,the Charlotte Ob- server says:a ‘Now we have no idea that the vastmajorityofmembersoftheAssém-bly had the slightest sympathy:withthisassaultupentheAssociatedProssorwishesitmade.They simplyletitgothrough,promiseuouslywiththe..promise If fantastic construction maybemade.toappearmoralorreligiousgrounds, he can almost invariably manage theperformance,It is the customary thing.i : That is a severe ‘indictment of Church bodies—that’they will pass almost anything in the way of denun- ciation,ever when the majority of the-members do not believe:the thing stated to be a fact.But The Land- mark isn’t going to discuss either that or the charge against the Asso- ciated Press.It simply desires to ex- press the opinion that the Observer is in error in saying the preachers do not ‘believe what they say about the Associated Press.The editor of this paper has heard a number of preachers express themselves on that matter and has been interested to find that there is an apparent preva- lent belief among many of them,atleast,that ‘the Associated Press fe vors the Catholic Church in the dis- semination of news.‘They give.rea- sons for the belief,but the basis for the reasons is another matter.We make bold to say to the Observer also that many of the preachers not only believe that the Associated Press is subservient to the Catholic Church, but they express the opinion that many newspapers right here in North Carolina will not publish~anything derogatory to the Catholics. Ce ae eal The promise that Dr.Pickard,who is conducting the union meeting in Statesville,would preach the plain, old-fashioned gospel,without being sensational,is being fulfilled.That old-fashioned doctrine is that.the wicked shall be turned into ‘hell,‘in- to everlasting ‘punishment,unless they repent and believe.This.doc- trine isn’t popular;in fact it has been ignored,when not repudiated,.in recent years,because it is not pleasant to.think aboyt or to talk about.Taking hell’as his sub- ject Wednesday evening,Dr.Pick- ard said he found no pleasure in dis- cussing it,but that it was his duty to teach what Christ taught,and he offered the proof to show that Christ taught-there “is a hell,a place of ev- erlasting punishment.Dr,Pickard’s preaching attracts and grips his hearers.There is no sensationalism, no high-pressure measures,The old- time religion is being preached as it was in the days of the fathers.

is‘practi- celly ended.His troops will ‘ot fight.They either run away or join their opponents with every sign “of willingness. “All that prevents the Constitu- tionalists from entering Mexico City

anything .to do with one hereto-fore connected with Huerta.The Constitutionalists make it plain be- yond question they will recognize a government established only uder the plan of Guadalupe at the

He soon quit that,but continued his urgent demand for a place—a place that would permit him to stay at home and manage his private busi- ness,the while he drew pay from the government as a side line;a sort of pensioner soto speaks it—is-4hi2 sort of thing that disgusts sensible people with many of the officescek- ers.Their demand for place is as persistent as if it was a matter of life and death;and yet when they get the place they are not willing.to go to work and try to earn the salary paid them.They want to continue their private business and draw pay from the government as a sort of perquisite.

Pearsall,who resigned as clerk of the Federal court at New Berne when he found the duties and regulations prescribed interfered with his pri- vate affairs.Both Mr.Williamson and Col.Pearsall seem to have thought when they asked for the ap- pointment that they ©could do the work and give some attention to pri- vate affairs.When they found that government work and private affairs conflicted they quit.It is not in ey- idence that they demanded that they be retaified on the payroll or given time to attend to private busi- ness. eeeeerenmeentesnenetimnctemsommmntatinnnn The trouble in the third ‘congres- Sional district is not ended.Ex-Con-@resman Chas.R.Thomas of New Berne;one of the candidates,has is- sued the following statement: “Please state that any votes castformeinthirddistrictcongres-Bional convention were withoutmyconsentandarewithdrawn.My name was not presented totheconvention,.I stand by therimary.The yotes have.—notncountedundertherules,TheConventionwasnotcalledtonomi-nate,but to notify the action of ».thesovereignpeopleexpressed-in the pri-mary,and which no convention cansetaside.The State committee willbecalledontosettlethe‘question intheinterestoftheDemocraticparty’ A preferential”primary was heldinthethirddistrict.°Several dayswerespentincountingthevotesandwhenthecountwasconcludeditwasfoundthatGeo.E.Hood of Goldg- oro had the largest vote,Thomas being second.The district commit- tee,which supervised the counting, Was not agreed as to its duty in thepremisesandfinallycertifiedthere-sult to the district convention,held at Goldsboro on the 34 After awrangleandafighttheconvention nominated Mr.Hood.”Mr.ThomasRivesnoticethathewillappealtothe State committee.‘eaateeeeeiatensententeensonstensanneans Under the rules of the House ofCongress,business can be transact- ed in that body;the majority ¢anenactwhateverlegislationitdesires,The Senate rules allow unlimited debate and the delay in transactingbusinessisoftenunreasonable.Thefreetollsrepealbillisacaseinpoint.The measure has dragged onforweeksandtheprotractedcon-test has served no good purpose.Onthecontrary,it was hurtful.It is;Wetter,for the public welfare,that"en important piece of legislation be Promptly determined,one way or an-a 80 that the country will knowhatthestatusistobe,Business is“usually more seriously affeeted by‘the uncertainty than by the act itself.The House has passed the anti-trust _measures with reasonable prompt-Mess.There,has beens reasonable ime for debate.But if the Senate proceeds with these measures as ‘ithas’proceeded with the tolls bill,they will be pending at Christmas,even if the body remains continuously in session. # We,Democratic party cventionundercondiof -Demo-cratic responsibility,in State and na-tion,rejoice in the large measure.ofsuecesswithwhichDemocraticprom~-ises have been enacted.into law,andwithwhichDemocraticprincipleshavebeenappliedinrestoring.equalopportunitiestoallsectionsandall classes.We reaffirm our allegiancetothecardinalotlesofDemo-cratic government,and again submitourcausetothepeople,in full confi-dence that a continuation ef Demo-eratic control will result in a com-plete restoration of high ideals of constitutional government as estab-lished by the fathers of the republic,and interpreted to meet the needs of the progress of times.

One would think,in view of the fact “that delegates to Democtatic State conventions have so often and “so clearly manifested disapproval of long speeches,that the speakers on ‘these occasions would have learned Dy this time to cut it short.But in ‘the face of all the warnings and all “the criticism in the newspapers, ‘gome of them tire everybody with ‘their long speeches that nobody wants to hear.At the Democratic rate convention last week the tem- i chairman talked for an hour. He told the delegates nothing that they didn’t already know,of course, but he insisted on boring them.The speech,no doubt,was a good one but it was neither the time nor the place **for its delivery.At such gatherings delegates have miore than once:made it clear to some of the most promi- ment men in the State,that long talks rere not wanted.Ten minutes,or 16 at the outside;i#“long~enough~to, ‘talk on such occasions,and the ma- _jority of the speeches should be lim- _ited to five miuutes.If any gentle- man feels that he is called upon to deliver a keynote speech for a cam- paign,let him give the outlines and make arrangements with the newspa- pers to print the rest.Theh those “swho.may care enough about what he has to say to read his remarks,can do so at their convenience. RTT The United States is said to be not at all concerned by the fact that the opposing factions in Mexico are able .to get large quantities of arms.Af- ter permitting the landing of war -munitions for Huerta at ports on both the Altlantic and Pacific coasts,the naval forces passively permitted ves- sels to discharge ‘similar ‘consign- ments for the Constitutionalists at Tampico.But the shipments to Tam- pico for the Constitutionalists has aroused Huerta and he has dispatch- ed his navy—two gunboats—to Tam- pico to put a stop to the unloading of the arms.Now if the United States interferes with Huerta’s contemplat- ed action at Tampico mediation will probably end and the trouble will be on afresh.That’s the new features of.the Mexican situation. Worthampm county Democratic convention decided to submit to the voters of the county the question of abolishing the office of county treas- “warer,the county funds to be placed with one or more of the banks of the county.The Rich Square Times, which favors the proposition and is sure the people of the county will adopt it,says the duties of the coun- ty treasurer do not require miore _than one day’s work of ten hours in '-‘@ month,and that at the present rate of salary the county is paying $125 to $150 a day for the work.The of- fice of county treasurer in North -Carolina has always been very much of a sinecure and thé idea of abol- ishing the office is meeting with pop--wlar favor. The Monroe Enquirer tells that Mr.J.W.Howie of Union county was bitten on the finger by a copper- head snake.He took time to kill the snake and then doctored himself.He saturated the finger in kerosene oil and then ate a lot of grease.He was sick for a short time,says the En- quirer,but was all right next day. Time was when it was supposed that there was 6nly one remedy for snake- bite—ithe old familiar juice.“But in these days of drought a substitute has to be found and Mr.Howie found it in eating grease.The grease may “mot be so pleasant to take but it seems to have been effective in Mr. Howie's case and when it’s the best you can do that’s all you can do. At Reidsville K.R.Thompson, @eputized to help arrest a negro, 'fired on the latter when he resisted ‘arrest and the negro died.It was supposed Thompson had killed him, but the coroner’s jury decided,after an investigation,that the wound in- flicted by the bullet could not have caused death and expressed the opin- fon that death resulted from heart failure.Possibly so.A bullet pene- trating the flesh might produce heart failure,sure enough.AReportcomesfromWashingtonwee:that,since the State convention inWha mined efforts have been put in mo- point mentioned in Mr,Page’s that he is a busines man and 1 last week,quiet but deter-. become so well defined that it is not thought wise to ignore it..For years the primary advocates have been hammering at the doors of Demo- cratic State conventions and Legisla- tures but the primary was stood off until it could no longer be ignored, The platform was expected as a matter of course to endorse the State and national Democratic administra- tions and uphold the prohibition law. It did not,however,declare for a fur- ther extension of the latter.The six months’school and freight rate work, which are commended,had already been fought out in the Legislature and secured in response to public sentiment;likewise the insurance rate investigation.The platform- makers accepted but two planks of the platform offered by ‘the recent meeting of Progressive Democrats in Raleigh—the revision of the penal code and the conservation.of our re- sources.The Landmark is surprised that no reference was made to the constitutional amendments submit- ted by the Legislature,It may be the—platform_....makers.thought.this unnecessary,but considering the im- portance of the amendments it does seem that platform reference would have been advisable:However,the idea of politciians in a convention or a Legislature is to make as few chang- es as possible.With them the fear is always uppermost that something may be started that “will hurt the party,”which means that it might disturb those’in control of things. They always “point with pride”to past work but the promises for the future are usually glittering general- ities.Whenever anything new is de- sited,no matter how commendable it appears,it is first necessary to cre- ate the sentiment for it.So those who are disappointed about planks that did not appear in the platform should go to work and create a_de- mand that will reach the Legislature. No matter what is put in the plat- form,it is by no means sure of en- actment by.the Legislature unless the demand is strong.However,as was stated at the outset,the platform adopted last week is not different from the usual run of Democratic platforms in this State in the past, and on the idea that the party is fol- lowing custom,trere is no ground for criticism. ‘There is much complaint that the proposed primary does not include legislative and county officers as well as State and district officers.Of course any argument for a primary for State and district officers will ap- ply with equal force to legislative and county officers.But in some of the doubtful counties in the western part of the State,where Democrats can be elected only by Republican votes,it is insisted that a legalized primary would simply prevent the Democrats electing anybody;and the Democrats in such counties maintain that they should be allowed to ar- range their loca]affairs as seems best to them.The Landmark -can see ‘something in that contention.The trouble is that in many Democratic counties,where primaries are need- ed,they will not be provided because it may not suit the ruling powers to have primaries.The only hope in such cases is to create a public sentiment that will secure the primary. While the drought is most discour- aging—not to the farmers only but to all of us,for we’re all dependent on their success—it is a matter of re- mark that cotton and corn that got a start before the drought became se- vere is holding op remarkably well, This is due to the modern methods of preparing the land for planting —<deep plowing and a good seed bed; and the further fact that a drought now doesn’t hurt so bad as it would in July and August,when crops are making.But cotton planted late, that has not had moisture enough to get out of the ground,is possibly done for;and in many cases farm- ers had not finished preparing land for corn when the ground became too hard to plow.In these cases the out- look is blue.But with a season this month and a late fall,there is yet time to raise a corn crop;and if the cotton crop is short the price should be higher.Discouraging prospect but not so bad yet as it might be. President Wilson has instructed his chauffeurs to obey the speed laws.One of them was fined for ex- ceeding the speed limit.The best example those high in.authority can set is strict obedience to law; and yet many people of prominence do not think law is made for them to obey—at least they act that wey. with his right,only to find. had made no impression on ure but had wrecked his fist, figure that,he saw was his own ow.In.the language of the late Fa- ther Evans of the MiltonChronicle, “how much did he have on”?—————A couple of delegates to the third district congressional convention at Goldsboro,who were laid up for a day or so on account of a “gentle pasage-at-arms”during the meeitng, passed through New Berne en route home.To the numerous people who were attracted by their disfigure- ment,the delegates remarked that thé next time they were asked to at- tend a congressional convention —thie trouble would begin on the spot,They had enough.,.—_—_—_—_—_—_—XXNorthCaroliniansCommended “ForCourageatVeraCruz.

DISAGREEMENT AT NIAGARA, The Mediators and the American Delegates Disagree on Two Vital Points in the Settlement of Mexi- can Affairs. Differences of.opinion so serious that they imperil the continuance’of the conferences at’Niagara Falls have developed between the Ameri- can delegates and the .mediation plenipotentiariés.in the consideration of the Mexican situation.On ‘two vital points there is flat ‘disagree- ment. First,the .mediators,’representing presumably the-viewpointof the Mexican delegates,are insisting thattheprovisionalPresidentofMexico shall be a néutral who..shall-ngt,have been an active partisan in thé Consti- tutionalist cause. The American delegates have stated emphatically that unless the choice falls on a man of distinct Constitutionalist sympathies,not necessarily a military chief or lead- er,but one who would confmand their confidence,there can be no hope ofConstitutionalistgcceptanceofpeace rogramme.cond,the United “States”govebi= ment is determined that the methodoftransitionfromthepresentre- gime to the new government shallnotbethroughtheappointmentby General:Huerta,as minister of for- eign affaits,of the man agreed onforprovisionalPresident.To permithimtoexercisetheconstitutional functions of naming his successor, according to.the American viewpoint, will be equivalent to recognition oftheHuertagovernment.This view is opposed by the mediators,who ar-gue that inasmuch as the world will know the mediation conference had selected the next provisional Presi- dent,the form of succession is unim- rtant. Which is the greater sacrifice,themediatorsask,for General Htuerta tonameaministerofforeignaffairs whose political principles are not inaccordwithhisown,and then tohavethelatteralmostimmediately succeed him as provisional i of Mexico,for United States toyieldonthetechnicalityastothemannerinwhichthetransférshall be made?*The mediators’were occupied,Wed- nesday with a discussion ofpointsamongthemiselves.They didnotconferwitheithertheAmerican or Mexican delegates:The Meletitbeknownthattheyconsid the method of a technical-whether t tion.ThevisiohalPresident shall be’a neutralandifpossibleamanwhohasriot rept a Constitutionalist partisan,they say,and.especially no.activeworkerinthatmovement.~~’The United States has taken a firmpositionthattherecanbelittlepros-pect of a peaceful settlement unlessthemediationizesthemilita-ry conquest of the Uonstituitonalistsand,takes into consideration theprebabilitythattheConstitution- alists soon will enter Mexico City.Later-—Jt has since been agreedthatthetransferofauthorityframHuertatothenewprovisionalgov- ernment will be aecomplished in someotherwaythanbyHuerta’s appoint-ment of a minister of foreign affairs.

The radium treatment of cancer has aroused public discussion onlyequalledinsensationalismbythepopular‘furore over “the Friedman treatment for tuberculosis:Phat this substance has some value in thetreatmentofcancercannotbedenied, but unfortunately the public has got-ten an exaggerated impression of itseffects.and radium has been hailed as the long-waited specifie cure for ma- lignant disease.In the belief that a statement of results would be useful,the American Society for the Control of Cancer recently asked Dr.H,H. Janeway of New York to prepare anarticleonthissubjectwhichhasjustbeenpublishedintheJournalofthe American Medical Association. Dr.Janeway discusses the results secured with radium at the four prin- cipal institutions in Europe where ithesbeenemployedunderthemost favorable conditions,viz.,Paris,Lon-don,Vienna’and Heidelburg.‘The.re-ports from each of these European institutes justify the statement that radium exerts a selective and ‘destruc-tive action on the majority ‘of’can-cers,but that this action never reach- es to the more distant extensions of the deeper and more serious forms of the disease.In fact ‘there ts “goodgroundforbeliefthat-unless thegreatestcareisusedintheapplica-tion of tadium the ‘more distant.portionsoftheeancerwillbestimulatedtomoreactivegrowth.All users ofradiumemphaticallyexpressthebe-lief,that no operable cancers ‘excepthoseoftheskinshouldbetreatetbyradiuminpreferencetéoperation.The true position of tadium at pres-ent is that it does not cure the dis-ease unless the’cancer is’superficial or is of a variety particularly suscep- tible to its influence.For the last nine years Dr.Wick ham of Paris has treated 1,000 can+)cer patients at the Laboratoire bio-logique du radium,and has |found that while the influence of radium on all types of cancer is favorable,its ef- Engineer and Fireman Killed in a Wreck Near Reidsville. Engineer John Wingate .of Danville, Va.,and Fireman Pickard,of Southern train No.29,bound for Birmingham, Ala;,from New York,were killed in a derailment near Sadler,a block sta- tion four miles north a Reidsville,Sat- urday night. The engine split a switch,this being caused,it is said,by a small bar of iron in the switch,presumably dropped from a passing train.The engine left the track and rolled down an embank- ment for ten feet or more.Fireman Pickard.was instantly killed.Wingate was removed from the debris badly sealded and otherwise injured and died in a short time, All of the eodthes except the last three left .the track,but!no passen- gers or other members of the crew were injured, The body of the engineer was.first found by a young woman,the operator of the block station at Sadler.She had run from the station when she heard the crash and-was by.theengineer when the conductor and-othérs reach; ed him.Two doetors on the train ad- ministered to Wingate but said his ease was hopeless.“He'was offered whiskey but refused it..He had pre- viously requested that,in ease of ac- cident,no whiskey be poured down his throat.As the crowd gathered about the prostrate form of the engineer, says the Greensboro News,his ming became ¢lear,and ‘‘there,at the hour of 1 o’elock,with the silent people about,with only the light of lanterns; with only the noise of the dying en- gine,the engineer,sealded from head to foot and bruised and)broken within race | and without,offered a fervent and beautiful prayer in which ‘he asked |that his soul and the souls of his wife jand children be taken to God.’’ ST FANTASY.

THE LANDMARK| June 23,1914. BYTERIANS AND TOBACCO oection.st.the,.Pxesbyterian eral Assembly with reference to cco was in effect that the Church ako discourage its use among min- isters and Church officers.There been the natural criticism about Church laying down regulations govern conduct in such matters, and the apparent inconsistency of asking ministers and Church officers to stop the use of tobacco and allow the laymen to continue its use.In ayswer to the first statement it is proper to say that the action was gecommendatory.The Church did not undertake and would hardly un- dertake to make or enforce a prohibi- tion law in such matters—certainly mot now.The time may come,just as it has come in other matters,that ‘sentiment would warrant making compulsory the non-use of tobacco as ®part of Church govertiment.There 4was wisdom,too,in making ithe rec- mmendation to ministers.and —officers only,for the present.‘Our Fatherless Ones has the correct Adea of the matter when it says that ministers should (Jead\in the ‘movement,“After the ministers,” ‘Bays that paper,“put aside the weed they will then be in a position to call ant la rote \to,follow suit,espe- tial young people who are go-‘ing through.a habit-forming pro- ‘es While Our”Fatherless “Ones We"certain oF men who’make! atid use tobaeco,itis very much ‘op- wed to/the use “of cigarettes by boys,and it can’t “see how boys are going to be saved from the evil so long as the men encourage the cigar- ette.”That is simple common sense. The Presbyterian Standard,while opposed to the use of tobacco,thinks it unwise for the Assembly to have taken any action on the matter,al- though it says when the question was to’discourage the use of tobacco or tojuphold it,there was nothing to do but to vote to discourage. ‘The Landmark is presenting this ‘matter ‘solely as information;as slowing the tendency of the times; and in‘this connection it takes.note of the following from the Presbyte- rian Standard,in further comment on the action of the Church: We cannot see any use in such de-liverances,because the tobacco user will be joined to his idol,and the peo-ple will have to stand the odor of stale smoke and breathe vitiated air while he is around,yet as long as it is yot an immoral habit,we do not be- lieve that the Assembly has anything to do with it.” The old-time Presbyterian ~elders and deacons who operated distiller- jes and thought it not an immoral habit to take a dram,made exactly the same remarks about prohibiting the making and drinking of liquor.It Was a custom of the country,the proper use of liquor was not consid- ered immoral,nor was the .making of it,generally speaking,60 and 75 *Years ago.And the old-timer who thought it was no sin to take a dram and to offer one to his neighbor or guest,would have said,if the Church offered objection,just what the Standard says about tobacco—that the Assembly has nothing to do with it.

In.the crush of .matter arte the wreck of worlds The-Landmark came near overlooking the fact that a North Carolina Democrat had “cuss- ed out”the adniittistratienandquitthe party.The gentleman who has brok- en loose from his moorings is Mr.A. Sidney Lanier of Oxford.Ten days ago Mr.Lanier wrote a letter to Rep- resentative J,Hampton Moore,Re- publican,of Penneyiviia,in which he thanked Mr.Moore for his opposi- tion to the amendment to the Sher- man law “exempting labor unions and farmers from its provisions.” Concluding a severe denunciation of what he charges is “in plain contrat vention of the express prohibitions of the constitution—a#proposition so manifest that the layman and way- faringman should see it,and one about which there can be -no differ- ence of opinion among lawyers,”Mr, Lanier.concludes:; “I have been a life-long Democrat, but.the inefficiency.and inconipeten-cy of the prestnt administration,theutterabsence.of statebmanship in théparty,and the manifest.willingnessofits:members t6 subordinate the prosperity and welfare of the coun- try'|to their gwn political interestsandprolongedtenureinoffice,have eonyinced me,that the)Democratic party is no place for me,or any oth-er man.who holds,the welfare and‘prosperity of his country superior topartyadvantageorpartypolitics.Itis,therefore,needless for.mete saythatmyferventprayer'is that it maybedrivenfrompowerforeverand kept always in the position of a par- ty of opposition,where it bélongs,aka to whitch it is alone fitted.” So far as The Landmark.knows, Me.Lanier is nota’disappointed of- fice-seeker.If.he .is speaking lis sincere convictions and the disagree- ment with his party is a matter.of conscience and principle,The Land- mark has no criticism to offer,un- less Mr.Lanier allows the Republi- The Robesonian ‘says “there is a spirit of unrest”in Robeson county. An agitation is now.on to reduce the salaries of the county officers and a call has been issuéd by the Robeson county Farmers’Union for a mass méeting of citizens to be held in Lumberton,July 4,to discuss plans for cutting down taxes.Continuing the ‘Robesonian says: Major A.J.McKinnon of Maxtonisinvitedtocometothemassmeet-ing and explain his plan for a man-ager-commission form‘of county gov- ernment.This plan as we under- stand it,in a nttshell,is for the peo-ple to elect a set of commissioners only,the commissioners to employ a manager,the manager to employ ail the clerical help needed and to be solely responsible for the economical administration of the affairs ofthecounty.In other words,the plan proposes to run the county’s business just as the affairs.of any businesscorporationaremanaged.Mr,Mc-Kinnon claims that it would result.in the saving of thousands of dollars annually to the county,that,it would enable the county to get full value for every dollar expended,instead ofgettingmuch.less than full value,asitdoesnow. ‘The manager -commission form éf government for counties may be one of the reforms of the future.The plan has worked well in cities,where it has had a fair trial,and its appli- cation to counties would be a logical extension of a business system.
