Taking note of The Landmark’s comments on the figures he has dug up from the biennial report of the State superintendent of schools for the years 1910-11 and 1911-12,Mr. Andrews directs attention to the fig- ures for Iredell county.-Page 104 of the report shows that the expend- itures for rura)schools in Iredell in 1911-12 were $39,958.51,and in Statesville the amount expended was $156,132.35.Page 121 shows the ,county treasurer’s commissions ontheruralschoolfundwere$313.36, “while the city treasurer -received -$100.(These figures are transpos- ed in the report by error and the treasurer of Statesyille,who is paid a salary,does not receive a commis- sion for hagdling the school fund,but the ambupt:charged for handling it is $100).The commissions paid the Iredell treasurer—$813.86—for hand- ling $39,958.51 of the eounty school funds amounted to $2.08 for each $100 spent on the rural schools for all purposes.Page 109 of the State Superintendent’s report shows that Iredell spent for teaching in the ru- ral schools,and for supervision,in the period under consideration,$24,- 106.79,of which $991.63 was paid the county superintendent,leaving $23,- 115.16 as the amount paid rural teachers,white and colored.The$813.86 commissions paid the Ire- dell treasurer,measured the teachers’_salaries alone,would amount to $3.52 out of each $100paidforteaching,which is 70 centshigherthantheaveragefortheen-tire State, Page 135 of this report shows thattherewere’in Iredell in 1911-12 124 white rural school teachers,whotaughtanaverageof95days.For this 95 days those 124 white teach- ers received an average of $163; while the 31 negro teachers taught an average of 78 days and received an average of $95.42. These figures are in the rural schools not helped by local special on ,‘Taking note of the fast ‘that “a police ‘force of Elizabeth.’City,”the Winston-Salem Republican wants to know«if The Landmark and the Greensboro.Record will ask for an injunction.No-proceedings will be taken so far as The Landmark is concerned,People who haven't learned by this time that bloodhounds as a means of catching criminals at least the sert of bloodhounds im- ported to North Carolina—are among the biggest fakes of the age,are past help.They can’t be taught anything.} Bloodhounds indeed!Any ordinary rabbit deg is worth as much or more for catching criminals as the so-call- ed bloedhounds that have been tried out in North Carolina. The following.is sent out from Palm Beach,Fla.:“Mrs.Hermann Oelrichs of New York is reported.to have won-$4,000 in one night and $600 and $700 on-orner~nights at bridge.Her winnings are said to be larger than those of any other wo- man here this season.”=“Bridge”in this case.is “bridge whist,”a popu- lar society card game,In places,“where they haven’t the nerve to play for money straightout,the society folks “beat the devil”around the stump”by giving prizes at card games.In the “higher up”social circles,where they are wealthy enough to do as they please—to defy public opinion and the law-—they play for money straightout;and really if they’re going to gamble it is-better to go straight to it. *7 * Some time ago the Monroe folks raised a storm because a_porch which had been planned for the Fed- eral building at that place was cut out.The architect sara the appropri- ation for the building would not ad- mit of the porch.But the Union soveteigns got busy with Congress- man Page and he has secured an al- lowance of $3,000 for the porch;and jevery citizen in Union,of whatever }race or previous condition of servi- ltude,can bask in the sunlight on that porch,put his feet-on the bap- isters—-if there are any—chew tobac- eo and spit where he blame pleases. The government.has provided that sun parlot for the -Union—county folks and when it is ready they should not permit any petty regula- tions governing Federal buildings to interfere,with their enjoyment of that suri parlor.cae *>.a Now that the question of repeal- ing the freb tolls provision of the Pan- ama canal act-is-under considera- tion it is of interest to know how |the North Carolina members:of Con- ,Sress voted,which was as follows: {Against free “tolls,Godwin,Faison, \Page,Pon pnd Stedman.For free jtolls,Small.Paired and not voting: |Doughton,Gudger,Kitchin and Webb.Mr.Kitchin would have vot- jed for free tolls,but he was pre- |vented from doing so on account of district taxes.The $163 average,the illness of one of his children,white salary divided by the 95 days|Mr-Page says he opposed free tolls average length of time shows the average per day of $1.82 paid each white teacher,which ‘makes $172.90 as the average cost of running one~~day's term ‘of the rural school$for each of the 95 days.This sum di- vided into the treasurer’s commis- sions of $813.86 shows that the treasurer’s commissions would have extended the white schools 4 7-10 days,which is practically one week, if that sum could have been aid for teaching alone instead of for treas- arer’s commissions. As Iredell county officers will go on the salary basis the first of nexttremDecember,this exhibitionis ndt.ger. mane to that point in ‘this county, But it gives some idea of what the fee system and commission basis have been costing and is valuable information for the people.It took @ campaign extending over a dozen years to secure the abolition of this system in Iredell,and then the pol-|fjiticians,who yielded only when they found the people would jot longer stand for it,put as far into the ¢u-tue as possible the date for the lawtogointoeffect.We might havehaditayearagoaswellasayear later.

Steever at Fort Sain’Houston,Tex- as,to give the protection asked.Gen.Steever replied that he had threeweeksbeforeaskedtheWarDepart- ment_to-send troops to Brownsville and the request had not been grant- @i.Failing in this source,the Gov- ernor says he directed that two cav- alry and two infantry companics of the Texas National Guard be sent to Brownsville without delay,by special train,his determination be- ing to defend and protect the peo- ple of the State,whom he consider- ed the national gvvernment to be neglecting;that he did not intend™to permit the troops to go beyond the borders of the State;that the Amer- ican consul asked the captain of a Texas company if the American con-sulate was attacked if he (the cap- tain)would cross the river and come to._his assistance,which statement the consul has ‘since denied but it isaquestionofveracitybetweenthe consul and the Texas captain.The Texas Governor,apparently justly, eomplins that dispatches sent out from Whshington are calculated to make him ridiculous before the coun-try,by_having it appear that he has tried to send troops mto México and that United States troops were or- dered to prevent Texas troops going into Mexico—tone of these state- ments being true.The Governor says he is trying to protect Texans,enforce the lew and ‘punish crime, and adds in conclusion: “Texas has nearly 800 miles ot frontier along the Rio Grande fromEl-Paso to Brownsville,to police and protect.There are perhaps 25,000Mexicanrefugeeslivinginthecities and towns near the border who have fled.to..this.State.to.save themselves and familfes from the ravages,mur- der,pillage and outrage which has been going on in the northern States of Mexico to a greater or lesser de- gree for the last three and a half years.Many perplexing questions arg presented to me almost daily as a result of this.condition—tuestions whieh cannot be determined by our Federal government,but must.be handled by the State government,of Texas.The border Mexican States for the most part,-are in the hands of the revolutionists,and it is a mat- ter of great importance to this State to know how to enforce its rights against transgressors.who come across the Rio Grande and commitcrime.”epapeaninietiitetitsenstiaimaaie How the Ladies.Will Change Name of States.

Gen.Carranza Will Deal Only With Great Britain—Halt in Benton Case. “immortal ratio”occupied a large space in the public eye.Mr.Keith was then an ardent friend and sup- 4itisstated,prevailedin the winters of 1902 and 1904,when great floods occurred.Miss Maude Kelly of Birmingham, ¥ eeAa,R. porter of Mr.Bryan,now Secretary of State.Mr.Keith’s commission as collector will not expire for a year, but he was reported as saying in Washington some.months ago that he would get out whenever the Dem- ocrats wanted his place.Col.Walk- er Taylor of Wilmington was select- ed for collector by Senator Simmons and Representative Godwin.The Woodrow.Wilson club -of Wilming- ton had another candidate but he did not find favor with Messrs,Simmons and.Godwin,who are supposed to control this particular piece of pa- tronage.Having got good and ready,Messrs.Simmons and Godwin went to the Treasury Department last week to ask that Mr.Keith be severed from his job and Col.Tay- lor appointed.To their surprise they found that Mr.Keith had notified the department that he would not resign and the Woodrow Wilson club of Wilmington had backed up Collector Keith by asking that he be allowed to serve out his term.The club -is getting even with Messrs.Simmons and Godwin for turning down_its man. There the matter stands.Mr.Keith has the favor of Mr.Bryan because of his former support of him and stands well with the department on account of his record.Moreover,the president of the Woodrow Wilson club.of Wilmington,which is_back- ing Keith temporarily,is a former cham of Secretary McAdoo.But all this to the contrary notwithstanding, Senator Simmons,judging by his past success at the White House, ean turn the trick on Keith when he "gets ready.Itis to be hopedhe will demand prompt action and not let the case be so long drawn out as was the district attorneyship. EDITORIAL WITS WANDER. Every editor who has—jand all of them have at times—in the hurry and stress of preparing.newspaper copy,trying to think of two or three -.things atthe same time and often, subjected to many interruptions, written the things he didn’t intend to write and which he knew was wrong, Juarez, death—insisting only with representatives Representatives of the State and War Department and of the British government at El Paso,Texas,who had been commissioned to go to Mexico,with two surgeons and examine the body of Benton, the Brtish subject recently killed by the Mexican general Villa,or by his orders,were stopped on the eve of their departure by the statement of Gen.Carranza,chief of the Mexican constitutionalists,that Great Brit- ain instead of the ©United ~States should deal with him concerning the death of a British subject,coupled with the broad intimation that all communications on international af- fairs first .should be addressed to him,instead of to General Villa or any other subordinate.Villa had latelyovershadowed Carranza in the management of affairs.The latter’s purpose may simply be to delay or to try to force recognition from Great Britain.It is announced from Lon- don,however,that Great Britain, having already recognized Huerta, will.not recognize the constitutional- ists for any purpose. The latest report of the killing of Benton is that he was unarmed and was shot to death in Villa’s office, pistol bullets through his stemach ending his life.Permission to re- move the body has been persistently refused but when permission to ex- amine it was seeured it was expect- ed to determine something by the wounds. While refusing to deal with our State Department about Benton’s that he will deal of the English government,Gen.Carranza promises to investigate the reported disappearance of American citizens. LT Keith Refuses to Resign as Collector—Has Democratic Backing. Washington Dispatch to Raleigh News and Observer..When Senator Simmons and Rep- resentative Godwin went to theTreasury.Department Saturday to find out when B..F.Keith intends to resign as collector of the port of Wilmington,they found a telegram from Keith protesting vigorously against what he understood was an attempt to have him removed.It was evident from his message that Keith has no intention of resigningunlessheiscompelledt6doso,eith- er for.the reason that he has chang- ed his mind about resigning or ispeeved’over published reports thatSenatorSimmonsintendedurging his removal. Most astounding of all in the will sympathize with Editor Harris |Treasury Department’s papers on the ;“of the Charlotte Observer:He got a letter last week from Mr.Henry A.| Page,in which Mr,Page stated that he “is preparing a series of letters for the purpose of undertaking to **eonvince individual Democrats that| Senator Overman ought not to be renominated,”and he wanted to know if the Observer would publish the let-| ters.Editor Harris not only declined | the letters but read Mr.Page a sort of lecture.But unfortunately in mak- ing comment he substituted the name of _Hon....R..-N.-Page,-Congressman} from the ‘seventh district,for Henry| A.,who is a brother of the Congress- man,.Now Congressman Page isn’t writing any letters to oppose Senator Overman or making a fight on the Senator in any other way.He is busy with the affairs of his own dis- trict and is not responsible for his brother;and so when the Observer appeared with Congressman Page's name in this connection there was a commotion.The Congressman was| mad and Editor Harris.had to oelat | @pologies and explanations. Along about the same time the editor of the Morganton Messenger gravely informed his readers that Sunday,the 22d,“was the birthday of the most beloved of Southern gen- *tlemen;Robert E.Lee.”And so an- »@ther editor will have to explain that he meant Washington when he wrote Lee.

Virginia Progressive Democrats Or- ganize. Twelve hundred delegates,accord- ing to the report of the credentials committee,met in Richmond last week and organized the Virginia Progressive Democratic League with the election of Attorney General John Garland Pollard,of Richmond,as president.The platform adopted by the convention calls for the en- actment of many progressive laws, including election reforms,abolition of the fee system for county officers, a constitutional amendment provid- ing for the initiative and.referen-- dum,abolition of the convict lease system,equal educational opportuni- ties for men and women and other measures of like character.The ad- ministration of President Wilson,the peace policies of Secretary Bryan andprimaryelectionreformsadvocated by Governor Stuart were indorsed. One of the speakers declared themovementtobe“a revolution within the party,not rebellion against it,”and opposition to the government of Virginia by.the Senators ~andtheirfollowersinWashington.Vir- ginia is badly boss-ridden and ma- chine-dominated and most urgent and apparent reforms in govern- mental matters have been smothered by the dominant element.The rebel-lion within the party has been brew- ing for some time. Secretary of State Bryan,who was in Richmond to address the Virginia Legislature,also addressed the Pro- gressive League. By a vote of 14 to 47 the Senate Monday refused to table Senator Ashurst’s motion to proceed with consideration-of —.the-constitutional amendment for women suffrage.

The real reason many.people .leave the farm igs not on account of the work,but because the result of theirlaborisdisappointing.Their income is too small.They cannot have enough of.this world’s goods,.The are unable to get happiness out © their slender incomes.Then why don’t they have larger incomes?Well, some people will always be poor.The Savior said “the poor ye have alwayswithyou.”Some-people have not the capacity to accumulate.There are to number than in the country.The reason farmers do not make any more money is that they do not know how. They have not learned many things about farming that they ought tokno.It is not their fault..It is their misfortune.I want to see the time come when a farmer will be pre- pared to handle his busifiess with as much skill and scientific knowledge ag the doctor or the civil engineer.I want to see this time come with the women,too,not only on the farm,buteverywhere.They have to take upcooking»just like farmers take upfarming.They just guess at it,and |hit or miss,after awhile they think they know how to cook.We need about ten girls to teach domestic science in our Farm Life schools,but |there are no North Carolina girls pre- |paring to do this work.We have one |now from New York and one from | Chicago,and I have now on my desk jletters from two-Jadies from Chicago |who have been reeqgmmended to me as capable of doing this sort ofskilledwork,Why do not North;Carolina girls train themselvés to do\this work?Thig is skilled work and fs is lucrative.There is money in it.

Trial of a Case Suspended Until Jus-tice Could Perform Marriage Cere- mony..hieThetrialofalawsuit was suspend- ed.-long enough Saturday afternoon for the presiding magistrate to unitesubjectsoftwonationsintheholybondsofmatrimony.Defendant, prosecutor,witnesses and attorneyshadgatheredintheofficeofJusticeLazenbyatthecourthouseandthe taking of evidence in a case had be- gun when Gen.L.B.Bristol appearedintheroomandaskedthecourtto suspend long enough to perform the more important function of marrying a Seotchman ‘to’an American lady. The court agreed and within two or three minutes Miss Myrtle Mize ofTurnersburgtownshipandMr.James S.MacKay of Scotland were husband and wife.,And as the happy couple left the court house the trial was resumed. Mr.MacKay appeared at the regis- ter’s office a week.or su ago and ap- plied for license to marry Miss Mize,but he had no further proof than his own statement that Miss Mize was of legal age and Register Boyd did not feel justified,under the circum- stances,in issuing che license,the applicant having explained that he came to America from his native home in Scotland three years ago but had been a resident of this county only thfee months.Mr.Boyd sug- gested that the girl’s mother or the girl herself be brought to his office to make affidavit as to her age,and act- ing on this suggestion the Scotchman appeared at the court house Satur- day afternoon,accompanied by Miss Mize,and secured the license.The de- sire to wed immediately was expressed by the couple and Gen.Bristol,who had become interested,proceeded to “break -court”long enough to have the ceremony performed by Justice Lazenby.The groom stated after the marriage that while it is his purpose to.remain in this county,it is pos- sible that he will take his bride to his old home in Scotland later on. Vanderbilt Funeral in Washington— Burial on Staten Island. The funeral of George W.Vander- bilt,whose death is reported on an- other of The Landmark,tookplaceiWashingtonyesterdayatnoonfromBethlehemchapelofthe Cathedral of St.Peter and St.Paul, Episcopal,conducted by Rev.Dr.Rodney R.Swope,rector of All Souls urch,the Vanderbilt church atore.The interment will be to-day in the family vault on the old Vanderbilt estate at Newdorp,Stat- en Island,New York.It is said that Mrs.Vanderbilt would have prefer- red that the interment be at.Bilt- more,but it was Mr.Vanderbilt’s re-quest that he be buried at the ances- tral home. It is said that Mr.Vanderbilt's condition was considered good an hour before his death.He was talk- ing and reading the newspapers when he became unconscious and died as a result of blood clot.At Asheville flags were half-masted, telegram of sympathy sent and res- olutions of regret passed by various civic bodies.Mir.Vanderbilt ‘was generally popular in the Biltmore and Asheville communities and his death is a matter for sincere regret. It is announced,apparently by au- thority,that Mrs.Vanderbilt will con- tinue to look upon Biltmore as her permanent home;that she will spend much time there and that there will be no material change in the manage- ment of the estate. The Unusual Weather—Thunder For a Snowstorm. On the ground that anything un- usual is news,it is permissible to mention the weather of the past week.Perhaps there was never a more varied supply within so short a time.Wednesday,for instance, was a spfing day.Thursday there was a little rain,a touch of sleet andsnow.Friday snow fell heavily for a time and had the ground been dry it would have been covered to the depth of an inch or two.The day closed with sunshine.Saturday there was a snow thunderstorm.Thunder for a snowstorm is unusual but notunknown,Two heavy peals of thun-der,threatening clouds that suggest- ed cyclones,and then a furious snow-storm for a little time,followed bysunshinebeforethesnowceasedto ae Sunday a few flakes of snowell.

On...account of the activities ofMr.Henry A.Page in opposition toMr.Hammer foy district attorney,and the avowed purpose of Mr.Page to oppose Senator Overman—to theextentatleastofcriticising-his rec- ord—Congressman Page,a brother of Henry_A.,has been to some ex- tent confused in the public mindwithhisbrotherandmanypeople think the Congressman opposed™Mr. Hammer and is opposing Senator Overman.As a matter of fact Con- gressman Page did not oppose My. Hammer and is not opposing Sena- tor Overman.Mr.Page issued a statement last week in which he says he has always supported Senator Overman,that they are intimate friends and exchange confidences and views regarding legislation;and Mr.Page adds that Senator Over- man should succeed himself and that he will support him.Senator Over- man has also issued a statement in which he confirms all Congressman Page says and adds that no man in the House stands higher than Mr,Page.These statements are printed to set Mr.Page straight.+ Since they’ve got Old John Barley- corn on the run his speed is being accelerated at every opportunity.The New York,New Haven and Hart- ford railroad company announced a few days ago that no liquor would be sold on any of its trains afterMarchIst.In the old days liquor was sold on practically all Pullman ears.One by one railroad companies have “cut it out,”mainly in deference to public sentiment,which has.under- gone a revolution with respect to whiskey selling and whiskey drink- ing within the past decade.But here's another restriction.-on drink, not the result of public sentiment but for busines¢reasons purely:Em-ployes of the American Steel &Wire Co.at Kittanning and Leechburg,Pa., where the company has large plants,have been notified to withdraw atoncefromfraternalthatconductclubs. ficiency of working forces in the mills.Every few days one reads of a similar instance—either a peremp-tory order that employes shall not touch liquor or some inducement in the way of higher wages or promo-tion for those who abstain.If this sort of thing goes on—as it evidently will—by and by a race of non-drink- ers will be produced simply because they have never acquired the habit. It is easy to abstain from liquor or tobacco if ore never acquires the habit,for it is a matter of habit. the lawyer and the aggrieved who tried to take it out of the attorney’s hide,will get it in the neck,Most of the lawyers who engage in this sort of ‘business are personally mehoffinecharacter,good and.useful citizens and good friends and neigh- bors.It’s the system—the outrage-ous system—which permits it,and the great majority of lawyers object to any change in court methods.And yet,in the face of what laymen must endure from them as a result of this system,lawyers sometimes complain that the public is prejudiced against them as a class.

This from a Durham dispatch: The information that 12 New YorkfarmersarethinkingofcomingtoNorthCarolinatolocatehasreached the secretary of the Commercial club of this city,and he is making prep- arations to send them information to induée them to locate in “Durham county. This is one of the things we are trying to perfect organization in Statesville to do—look out for new citizenship and industries.It takes money to carry on that work.Give your subscription to the committeestomorrow Mr.J.P.Coook,State Senator, secretary-treasurer of the North Car- olina railroad,sometimes called col- onel or professor and again just “Plain Jim Cook,”who originated the movement that led to the establish- ment of.the Jackson Training School for wayward boys,is again editor of The.Uplift,the attractive monthly issued by the Training School.-The Landmark welcomes Mr.Cook’s re- turn to the job of editing.He always has ‘something worth while ‘to say and says it well. The Charlotte Observer thinks there is too much claiming of the government money ($40,000)allotted this State for oad demonstration work and wants to know about it. The Observer forgets that Gov.Craig months ago allotted part of this money to build a section of the Cen- tral highway across the Blue Ridge and a part for a section of the Cen- tral highway across Forsyth,Davie and Iredell counties.These sections have,we believe,complied with the requirements and the money will be so used, Senator Reid of Missouri,accord- ing toa bill introduced in Congress, would have the government buy,with or without the consent ‘of the owner, the home of Thomas Jefferson—Mon- ticello,in Virginia.As a,matter of sentiment it would be very fine to have the government own Monticel- lo,but the property should not be taken from the owner without his consent;and as a practical matter, the money required to buy and main- tain the place couJd be used for a better purpose.Government owner- ship of this home would not,so far as The Landmerk can see,have a tendency to propagate the teachingsofJefferson.a The death of George W.Vander- bilt is a cause for sincere regret.Heinvestedmillionsofdollarsinwesf- ern North Carolina and while prima-rily the investment was for his own pleasure,it has helped the State,andespeciallywesternNorthCarolina,inmanyways.On his splendid estatehebuiltgoodroads,introduced the most modern methods of farming,dairying|truck farming,growing livestock,forestry,etc.,which not onlycontributedmuchtothedevelopment of the State and advertised its re-sources abroad,but was a splendidobjectlessonand-help to-all who saw it.Mr.Vanderbilt spent his moneytogoodpurposeinNorthCarolina.By no means all his ventures were profitable financially. pect them to be. did helped Asheville,Buncombe countyandwesternNorthCarolina 80 helped the State.While Mr.Vanderbiltwasnotaphilanthropistasthattermunderstood—he didn’t build libraries,endow colleges,etxhewasarealphilanthropistin thethingsmentioned,In addition hehelped,by his investments.and hisenterprises;hundreds,perhaps thousands,of people to a comfortable liv-ing who would not otherwise ~~Bucceeded;-and~he~wax liberal He didn’t ex and is have andcharitabletopeople‘on his “estate,|Again we say,his passing is a mat- ter for regret.Peace to his ashes. *luse all But the things he} }PROPOSED> G * Taking notice of the ‘proposed wneeting of the Progressive Demo- erats in Raleigh,which is,mentioned in the news columns of The Land- mark,the Salisbury fost says: It is exceedingly doubtful if it would be wise for the so-called Pro-gressive faction of the Democraticpartytoorganize,but it.would bewisdompersonifiedforthese-gentle-men to keep beth eyes on the otherfellow,who seems just now to bemightypowerfulinNorth.Carolina.It is a fact that-there is a verystrongcliqueinthisStatewhose idea is that politics is nothing more or less than a game being played togivespoilstothefellowwhoissup-posed to “control”a few votes andabletodoahardday’s work around the polls on election day.These arethepeoplewhofighttheprimaries and rigid election laws and measures that put the yeins in the hands of thepeople.Some of the folks who fought the Justice corrupt practices act’are grooming for office as hardastheycanintheStateandmanyof us who believe in the other way ofdoingthingswillbeshoutingfor them.The Progressive element inthepartywilllikelymakeamistake by organizing just now,but they will make no mistake by seeking to put the State in harmony with Wilson’s progressive policies. The Landmark has no information about the proposed meeting of Prto- gressives other than appears in the newspapers,but it would seem that if any number.of citizens of the State believe that the enactment inte law of certain measures would benefit the whole people,they have a perfect right to get together,organize and legitimate means to influ- ence the selection of candidates with a view to getting men who favor the things they favor.Nothing wrong about that.The Post thinks that certain changes would be beneficial and a good many other people.hold the same view;and those who so be- lieve may rest assured that they will never accomplish anything if they don’t try.That is the view that is probably actuating those who pro- pose to call a State meeting. This paragraph is from Gov. Blease’s closing message to the South Carolina Legislcture,which adjourn- ed last week: “I have no further communication for you during this session,for which I know you are thankful and God knows I am.I have nothing further to say to you,gentlemen,but dur- ing the campaign this summer,if no bad luck happens,when I get around to your county seats,I shall endeav- or to let my position be known on the various matters which have comeupbeforeme.” It might be added that the country is thankful,or should be,that the Governor has no more to say just now;and it will be more,thankful still if.that silence continue for a long period. Mr.T.E.Brown,who is in charge of the organization of the boys’corn clubs in the State,says that so far 8,000 boys have been enrolled for the corn club work—a greater number than ever before and there are yet 30 to 40 days for enrollmert.The I[re- dell boys should figure largely in the list and The Landmark urges them to enlist for the contest while there is yet time, We Send Abroad Only Seven PerCentofTotalCottonManufactures.

Dr.Frederick Fox,an Austrian scientist who devoted his life to treatment of snake bites,died from the bite of a snake he was using forexperimentalpurposes.Dr.Fox fell a victim while he was attempting to prove the efficacy of what he claimed a sure antidote to the virus of the snake.He had finished treat-|ing a goat which had been bitten and had succeeded in saving:its life when he was attacked by a krait.This snake,which is peculiar to Brit- ish India,is an unusually venomous reptile,possessing grooved poison fangs and solid upper teeth behind them.During its attack on the doc- tor the snake inflicted five punctures. “STATE NEWS.Ronee NW kre.

Heretofore the Congressman from the district (if.a Democrat)was al- lowed to make a setection from.the list of applicants who passed the ex- amination.Hereafter the highest man on the list will be named un- less the Congressman can show-good reasons why for the service he should not be named.If there is good reason,No.1 will be ,If enere is a real reason why No.1 would not make a good postmaster,Mr.Burleson’says it must be shown that No.2 is not.agoodmanbeforeNo.3 is considered, If the Congres to make of No.1 and No.2 except that these gentlemen did not vote forhimintheprimary,ne may as well not visit the Postmaster Department at all. If No.1 d No.2 are Republicans,a different situation is presented.The Congressman may show that the ma- jority of the patrons of the offices are Democrats and do not want to be served by Republican postmaster. A Democratic administration is m power and a Democrat would work more harmonious with .the Postof-fice Department than would a Repub- lican.Hence there is real reason why a Democrat is to be preferred to a Republican. Then,too,there are many-~other things to be taken into consideration in the appointment of a postmaster, The question of location-of the office is an important one:No.1 may want to put the office half a mile from the railroad station in a remote part of the town.No.3 may have a site on the principal street of the town within 100 yards from the station. For that reason No. qualified than No.1,though he did not stand so well on the examination The Postmaster General’s interp tation of his order to the first assist ant in his office is not going to result in a deluge of Republican postmas- ters in North Carolina.It will,how- ever,prevent most of the discrimina- tion by Congressmen against good Democrats who do not happen to be ardent supporters of the Congress }man who happens to be in office at the time.The Postmaster General’: pidea is that,all other things are lequal,one Democrat is as good a: jsnother Democrat. not ly Wife and Children Charged With Murder of Husband and Father. |Wilkesboro Patriot. |Tuesday afternoon.the dead body of Bart Hall was foand by his wife and daughter near a path and withi:53 steps of his home,with two gu ‘shot wounds in his body,one in hi side and the othey in his stomach, and a single barrel shot gun.lying near him.One shell that had been ‘shot was found nearby and the gun lcontained)an empwy shell.These {two shells,no doubt,once held the two loads of shot that snuffed his life,but the identity of the per son or persons.who committed the|murder if not now known.The wif lof the murdered man declares that jhe.left the House after ‘breakfast on |the morning of the day his dead body was.found and started to Fergusor |station§about a mile away,to do a iday’s work.his was the last tim: \she saw him alive,she says.Yet hi|body,cold in death,was founderalhourslaterwithin53steps |the house in which she was living andjsheclaimsthat.she did not hear the |saport of,the two gunshots that were |fired into his body.Mira,Hall and her daughter,Nancy,who)were alone jat the home,and who diggovered the ibody,went to the home/*of Wash|Speaks and infornted ~Him wef thejtragedy.The news quickiy”-.spread and foul play was at once suspected |Mrs.Hall,her daughter,Nancy,and |two sons,Charlie and Larkin,com |pose the family.They aro not bright in fact are idiots.The dead man, who was about 69 years old,and some of the members of his family out sev of were not on good terms—had been fussing.soll, The coroner’s jury found the de ceased ‘came to his death at the hand of parties unknown,but later ‘the wife and children were arrested fo: the murder,omenenpesctensenhansssestennemgnemienmase The Forty-Year Test.\ An article must have exceptional merit tosurvivefor’a period of forty years.Cham- the public in 1872.From a emall beginningitbasgrowninfavorandpopularityun til it has attained a world-wide reputation cold.Try it and you will understand whyitisafavoriteafter-a period of more than farty -years.It not oney .arves relief—it cures.For sale by all dealer. benefit of the| You will find nothing better for a cough or | sman has no complaint |: Wilkes Patriot.

The Rangers were not opposed,ac- complishing their search without the slightest violence,taking the body from a grave in Hidalgo cemetery,al- most within sight of the Texas bor- der.The seizure was divested of pos- sibly grave aspects in international complications by reason of the fact that the Rangers were practically making use of permission granted of- ficially by Mexican Federal authori- ties several days ago fo.recovery of the body.This permission had been given to United States Consul Alonzo Garrett at Nuevo Laredo,but he did not get the body because of what he reported as dangers attending search |as known |next |the jail,supposedly Ito Piedras Negras,and disappeared.|at a meeting of various gentlemenin | there against him. was no.charge He had been cruelly ibeatén,according to the woman,She |t~take steps to organize so as to-se-| (dressed the wounds’in “his head,she'!cure progressive legislation;to -give| lsaid,and remained’with him until forced to leave.That was the last she ever saw of him alive,for early morning he was taken from to be transferred Hanged,Then Shot.

The body was brought into the United States at a point 45 milesnorthwestofLaredo,opposite Hidal- vo and near the Vergara ranch. American Consul Garrett of Nueve Laredo,deputy sheriffs and other authorities were waiting to receive it and pending the arrival of an un- dertaker from Laredo,an armed force stood guard over the body. Recovery of the body was made by a force of Texans,including friends of the dead man,acting with the troop of Texas Rangers under Captain Saunders,who have been investigat- ing for Governor Colquitt the cir- cumstances of Vergara’s seizure by Mexican Federals.A secret investi- gation,in which many Mexicans had been questioned,i-understood to; have preceded the trip into Mexico. Leading the force was a man who clainied to have been a witness to both the execution and burial ‘of ,Vergara. The force,gathered near the Ver-| gata ranch,not far from the spot where Vergara crossed the river to} meet the Mexican Federals who prom-' ised remuneration for stolen horses. Moving silently they began the over land march to Hidalgo,a distance of about five miles.They avoided the town,it was said,under the cover| of night and met no one to question their journey. Location of the grave where Ver- gara was supposed co lie proved an easy task,for it has been a center of speculation and wonder since it appeared,after a swinging bodyhad | been cut down from che place of cx-| ecution,after the hue and cry over| an investigation.The body had a rudely interred,with little effort to | protect it from the earth.With their| burden fixed on a stretcher carriedbysixofthedeadman’s friends,the| procession started unchallenged on| the return journey which brourht| Clemente Vergara home again to the United States. It is understood a thorough exami nation of the body has been ordered by the State authorities. How Vergara Was Lured Away. Vergara left his ranch,near Pala- *fox,Texas,Friday,February -13,and crossed.the river into Mexico on a message from three Federal soldiers| that Captain Apolonio Rodriguez of, the Hidalgo garrison wished to settle| for 11 horses taken from Vergara’s| island pasture in the Rio Grande. Mrs.Vergara pleaded:with her hus-|band not t risk seizure by the Mexicans,but disregarding her warn-ings he crossed the river in company with his.young nephew.Mrs.:Ver- gara has since told how she saw her mg been sent to Piedras Negras,but had escaped en route and that the Fed- erals were certain he had joined the Constitutionalists. Consul Garrett,however,after in- terviewing numerous Mexicans and others,reported officially that Verga-| ra had been executed.He added that he was convinced from the Federals’| attitude while in Hidalgo that it would have been daagerous for him to demand surrender of the body. iy Gov.Colquitt of Texas says he did not specifically authorize Capt:| Saunders to cross the border to re- cover Vergara’s body,but he has no complaint to make.“We wanted Vergara’s body to determine the man-| ner of his death,”he said,“‘and we| have it.”In the past commandersofAmericantroopsandTexasRang- ers have crossed the border in the pursuit of Mexican bandits and ma- rauders and inflicted chastisement to them on Mexican soil.This was done in 1874 and after investigation by the Federal government the,case was dropped.

Replying to Senator Fall,Senator Shepherd of Texas asserted that a majority of the Texas people agreed with the President’s Mexican policy. The logic of the critics,said the Tex- as Senator,is peculiar.They would stop bloodshed with war.Bad as the situation in Mexico is,it will be a hundred times worse if we have to go to war.The population along the border,says the Texas Senator,which is responsible for many of the stories of outrages,is American in name only.ee,A The grand jury of Greene county Superior Court last week indicted the commissioners of Greene county for violation of the criminal law’which forbids'a member of the board:sell- ing any goods or merchandise to the, county.The commissioners,accord- ing to the report,voluntarily went into court and plead guilty but.offer- ed evidence to show the offending com- missioners,who are merchants,had sold stuff to county agents,who pyr- chased from the commissioners for reasons of economy,It was alleged. Judge Daniels gave the commission- ers the benefit of the doubt and let them go on the payment of the costs.The facts may be as stated,but thepleathatthelawhadbeenviolated to save the “county money”and that the commissioners were selling goods to themselves and auditing their own bills as public benefactors,may be taken with a few grains of allowance. It is hardly probable that there.were no other merchants in the county who could have sold the country supplies for as little money.Judge Daniels, natures seem‘to.mean nothing: truly amazing hew many men of. taligence wilt stap’theirnames: they didn’t mean it. o o * R.W.Cobb;the young Sampson county man who was electrocuted last Friday for murder,which was the result of attempted robbery,got his just deserts but his case seems to have been badly handled by his law- yers;or it msy be he had no.money or influential friends.“In his ‘written confession,addressed to the Governor, Cobb says he did not intend to kill his victim when he held him up for. the purpose of robbery,but when the man advanced on him he thought he jhad a pistol and he (Cobb)became frightened and fired at the man’s legs,but the pistol,a cheap affair, jumped and a mortal wound was in- flicted.In the case of the University student who was.killed by.falling from a barrel (or more likely pushed from it),hazers having placed him on the barrel and forced him to dance, it was urgéd that the death of the victim.wes purely an accident,the hazers having no purpose to kill him’ The hazers were engaged in an un- lawful act and under the law were responsible for.consequences;but ‘a large number of people who lay claim “to intelligence,insisted;on calling the tragedy purely an acci- dent.Taking that view,the young Sampson county man was not guilty of murder.It was his purpose to rob, not to kill,and the killing was some- thing of an accident from this view- point.Again,Cobb says he did not shoot until he was certain:the man he had held up was drawing a pistol. Having no purpose to shoot and shoot- ing only after hethought his own life wes in danger,Cobb should have had,under the direction ofa smart lawyer,a good case of self-defence. Of course Cobb was guilty of premed- itated murdcr;he intended to shoot the other man if he resisted being robbed,and he killed him,The points herein suggested in his favor are nonsense,but weaker points than these have saved scores of guilty scoundrels in North Carolina from just punishment.Wherefore we say again,that Cobb evidently did not heve the help of smart lawyers or the help of money and influential friends.If these points in his favor were stressed as they might have been,it is amazing that justice tri- umphed. Dream of a National University MayBeRealized. A dream of every President,be- ginning with George Washington, may soon be realized.A bill provid- ing for the establishment of a nation- al university in the District of Co- lumbia has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Dillingham of Vermont.

FRIDAY,.~---—March 18,1914. = PURPOSE OF THE MEETING. The statement of Mr.J.W,Bailey, printed in The Landmark.today, makes clear the plans and purposes of the proposed meeting of progress- ive Democrats,which is to be called to assemble in Raleigh next month. Many Democrats favor certain meas- ures which they think’would benefit ‘the people of the State and wlrich they.believe it would be wise for the Democratic party to adopt.Some of these measures have been present- ed to the Legislature in the past-and turned down,mainly through the in- fluence of those who always oppose any change in existing conditions, This time it seems to be the purpose to make a campaign in advance for these measures,with a view to en- lightening the people aud securing the selection of candidates who will favor the propositions suggested. Mir;Bailey well says that it is not so much what the Democratic party has done in the past as ‘what it is going to dg in the future that counts; in this era of progress there can be no standing still.|The State has en- dured an antiquated system of taxa- tion,for instance,the deficiencies of which are clearly apparent,but Leg- islature after Legislature has allow- ed it to go uncorrected.Many of the ether methods of conducting the State’s business are as inefficient.The purpose of the gentlemen -who_have instigated the call for the Ralcigh meeting is to press these reforms on the Democrats of the State.The ob- ject is not to boost anybody for office er to help any individual or faction, but appeal will be made to all who believe in the measures that will be adopted by the meeting,to join in helping to secure their adoption through the dominant party of the State. __Or Ernest Wood,a New Berne drug- gist,claims to have discovered,while| experimenting with chemicals,a solu- tion that will effectually knock out the cigarette habit.The solution,it is said,is in the form of a gargle, tasteless and without any bad effects. After using the gargie ror eight days,it is asserted that the most in- veterate cigarette smoker finds him- self unable to endure a cigarette.If the solution is what is claimed for it —and let us all hope it is—it will be of great benefit to mankind,provid- ed the cigarette smokers wil],take it. But the fellow who smokes cigar- ettes may not want to quit:He may be like an unfortunate-victim of the liquor habit,who died in Statesville| some years ago.Some of his friends, anxious to help him free hirself from the appetite for drink,tried to persuade him to take a liquor cure. No,sir;he said he had heard if one took the cure and should at any time after that take a drink it was sure death.He didn’t propose to incur any such risk, They have in South Carolina some legislators,as’well as a Governor,of which they cause to be proud.Norman Creech,a member of the House from Bartrwell county,ar- have no rested for issuing worthless checks, wag felemyed when he plead the con- waiont immunity from arrest of a islator during the session of the Assembly,and during the ten dnys preceding and the ten days follow- ing-the session..Members of the North Carolina Legislature have been locked up while in Ral- eigh,for drunkenness and disorderly conduct,but we can’t recall that any of them saved themselves by plead- ing constitutional immunity.eeeneniguennstenienineneeeees At Dallas,Gaston county,a few days ago,a young man Standing by a horse’s head attempted to hold the beast when it started to run.He eh - }~-At~has-been....discoveredthattheSIdatefixedfortheDemocraticState| convention—June.17—-is the,date al- -tready fixed for the*meeting of the, ;|State Medical Society,which will be in séssion in’Rateigh June 16,17 and 18..As Raleigh.can’t’accommodate both organizations at the same time,+ the date of the conventién may be changed. It is stated that Rocky Mount, which owns its’water and light plant,last year turned into the city treasury $35,000.from these plants after paying expenses and furnishing lights and water at as low rates as anywhere in the State.Splendid management,if the estimate is cor- rect—-if the interest on bonds,depre- ciation,etc.,are .aleulated along with the running expense.Encour- aged by this success in municipal ownership,Rocky Mount will expend about $65,000 in a gas plant and hopes to sell gas at 80 Cents. Says the Charlotte Chronicle: The Statesville Landmark,copying what the Evening Chronicle had to say in regard to a recent verdict in this ‘county when the multitude ap- lauded in the ‘sanctuary of the courts,had us down wrong if it in- terprets this newspaper to mean that it lends favor to such demonstrations.Its comments partook more of the na- ture of a narrative than expression of opinion,***We mention the matter now not so much to get straight.ourselves.in the-eyes of The Landmark-as-te.hazard thebelief that this community does not believe in such demonstrations.**It is ex- actly as the Statesville contemporary suggests,nothing more nor less than mob law when the crowd faves and shots its appreciation of the decis- ions of jurymen.Courts must be er- derly or they cannot rise far <bove the common conduct of the men on the steets. In copying the Chronicle’s remarks about-the demonstration,The Land- mark said:“We have no idea the Chronicle meant te approve it.”We believe,however,that -the—remarks were liable to leave the impression on the genera]public that the Chroni- cle sympathized with the demonstra- tion.It is gratifying to know that it does not.

GRADING COTTON AND GRAIN. -Bills For Thisparen?Introduced,in Bills almostidentical ‘in ‘form,to ‘guthorize the Secretary of Agricul- ture to investigate the handling,grad- ing and A of cotton and grain,and to establish standards of quality and condition of each grade have beer introduced in Congress by Representative Lever.of South,Caro- lina.The bills would prohibit inter- State shipment of grain or cotton un- less its sale grade is fixed by the Secretary of Agriculture and con- forms to standards he prescribes,but variations from offictulstandards may be permitted under nis rules. The bills would forbid shipment of grain or cotten under misleading ,de- seriptions,would make subject to the Agricultural Department’s inspection any,grain entering into inter-State commerce,which has been represent- ed to conform to a given standar and would authorize the Secretary to set- tle any disputes’as to proper grad- ing of shipments.Violations would be punishable by fines of from $200 to $1,000.: The bills,which carry appropria- tions of $300,000 for the first year, have the approval of the Department of Agriculture and representatives of farmers’organizations,who attended the recent hearings on the investiga- tion of,grain exchanges. Discussing the measures,Mr.Lever snid:“There is no doubt that cot- ton and grain growers are suffering logses in the value of their cotton and grain that will rin into the hun- omy of millions of dollars because they have no way of knowing the value of grades.The cotton grower, I know,ispractically at the mercyof | the buyer and some machinery must be created to enable the farmer to get| the value of the exact grade offered upon the market.I am fully convine- ed that the time has come when the farmer should be enabled to have a voice in fixing the price of his own -#.%A property After Judge Cooke For Sleeping on the Bench.

Clayton ‘Norman,Accidentally ShotByHisCousin,Dink Norman,DiedFromLossof-Blood—Tragedy inEagleMillsTownship. Clayton Norman,aged,about 24 years,was accidentally shot and fa- tally wounded by his cousin,Dink Norman,aged about .20.years,in Eagle Mills township Saturday.The shooting occurred shortly before 12 o’elock and the victim died several hours later,while en route to the Sanatorium here.Before his deathNormanexplainedthattherehad» been no trouble between him and his cousin and that the shooting was en-tirely accidental,The two young men met at the oldEagleMillsschoolhousetogohunt-ing.They had only one gun,a sin- gle-barrel breechloading shot gun, and had agreed to take turns at shooting.As they were preparing to leave the school house Dink unbreech- ed the gun to load it and was in the act of reclosing it after having putin-gshell.when the weapon.was ae-cidentally discharged.The entire load took-effect in Clayton’s right leg just above.the ankle,shattering the bone and almost severing the limb. Badly frightened,Dink gid not under- take to do anything for Clayton,butdroppedthegunandstartedimme- diately for the home of Mr.Jo.Pow-ell,probably a mile away,to ’phone for a physician.Failing 40 get a physician Dink started back to his cousin,accompanied by Mr.Powell and his son.In the meantime Mr.L. C.Myers,who was driving along the read,heard the groans of the wound- ed man and stopping to ascertain the trouble found Clayton,very weak from the loss of blood,which stood in a pool beneath the wounded limb. Clayton explained to Mr.Myers that the shooting was purely an accident; that he knew he was going to die and he wanted Mr.Myers to tell every- body that the killing was accigenta).Clayton also explained that Dink had gone for a doctor and asked Mr.My-ers to try to get one for him.Mr.Myers drove toward Mr.Powell’sasrapidlyashecouldandmetthe two Powells and Dink Norman,who were hurrying to Clayton...LearningthatnodoctorhadbeensecuredMr. Myers hurried on to Mr.Powell’s“an g*into conimunication with Dr.W.G.Nicholson of Harmony,who‘started immediately for the scene of the accident,a distance of five’or six miles. When Dink Norman got back _toClayton,accompanied by the Powells, the wounded leg’was corded in an ef- fort to stop the flow of blood,but so much bleod had .already been lost that the victim was very weak and almost at death’s door.The mistake was made in placing the cord just be- low the knee,instead of above it,and it had little effect,and the bleeding was not totally stopped until Dr. Nicholson arrived about an hour lat- er.In the meantime a fire had been built in the school house and the crowd which had gathered removed the injured man inside the building, It was relaized that there was little chance of saving his life,but after the wound was dressed it was decid- ed to bring him to the Sanatorium at Statesville and he was placed in a wagon and the journey~of nearly 25 miles begun.Norman died about the time the wagon reached Turners- burg,12 miles from Statesville. The body was taken to the home of Norman's uncle,Mr.Lloyd Norman,father of Dink Norman,in EagleMillstownship,and the funeral andburialtookplaceyesterdayatUnion ehurch.Deceased was a son of thelateJamesNorman._.He—had...beenlivinginWilkescountybu*spentmuchofhis:time in north Iredell.

GOMMENT ON VARIOUS MATTERS Miss Kathleen Kluttz,society edit- or of the Salisbury Post,copies in the Post two poems by.Statesville ple,which recently appeared ‘in The Landmark——“The __Cardinal’s Call,”by J.Clarence .Stephenson, and “Storm,”by Miss-Amelia Hoff- mann—and says of them:*‘ “Both poems show ‘exceptional talent and North Carolina has reas- on to be proud of these young pects, who bid fair to win laurels in the literary field.”** Woman suffrage gives the so-call- ed weaker sex advantages over the so-called lords of creation as -yet un- dreamed of.Fred.S,Eggers is the sheriff of San Francisco county,Cal. In that State they haye woman suf- frage and also the recall,by which officeholders who don’t walk the chalk line can be ousted..The wife of Sheriff Eggers has brought suit against her husband for divorce and in addition wil)try to have him re- called from office.She says the re- call on-—her part is not spite work but that she does not believe her husband is fit to hold public office. As she knows,him better than oth- er folks,she probably has the old man properly labeled. * The late Thos.C.Platt,long Unit- ed States Senator from New York and a power in the politics of the country,was largely interested in the United States Express Company, probably president of the corpora- tion,Through his influence the pass- ave of-a parcel -post law,the reduc- tion of express rates or anything that would interfere with the monop- oly of the express companies,was frustrated in Congress.But Platt had to die,as all men must.New men and new influences succeeded to the control of conditions.The par- cel post act was passed and express rates were reduced;and the United States Express Company,long the citadel of power in continuing the ex- press monopoly,is the first to fall under the new conditions,It has ceased to do business. *>* Although he made his fortune of considerably more than $500,000 in the wholesale liquor business,Jacob Friday of Pittsburg,Pa.,had ingert- ed in his will,which is being’con- tested,a provision expressly stipu- lating that “any beneficiary who di- rectly or indirectly engages in the liquor business shall forfeit all rights and claims to the estate.”Another unusual feature of the will was the establishment of an educational trust fund.for his grandchildren.Relativetothisclausethewillreads:“My ob- ject is to promote the welfare of mydescendantsandtheStatebyencour- aging thrift and discouraging idle-ness and ignorance.it is my.willthatnoidle,intemperate,waywardorviciouschildshallbecomeabene- ficiary.”All very fine,but if Mr.Friday was so impressed with the evil of dealing in liquor he shouldhavelefthismoneytohelptakecare of the idle,intemperate class that.hehelped.to promote. * | * There are all sorts of abuses in the public service—gross abuses which grow little by little and are al- lowed to continue as a matter of cus- tom until they are often accepted as a matter of right.It seems that it has been a custom for army officers who felt themselves too important to dive in the army barracks:provided by the government,to rent expensive apartments and have the governmentfootthebjjlforrent,heat and lights It is permissible for officers to rent quarters where the government has no barracks,but to live more stylish- ly,it develops,they have been rent- ing expensive quartets in Washing- ton,where there is plenty of room in government barracks;not only’that, they rented .much larger quarters than the regulations allowed,even when renting is permissible.Con- gressman Webb of North Carolina Jooked into this abuse and exposed it. For.instance,a major,who was en- titled to five rooms,occupied a house of 12 rooms,the people paying thefreight...Mr.Webb estimated that inWashingtonofficerswereoccupying 200 rooms at-public expense “whowereentitledtobut100roomsandthatthesameconditionsexistedateveryarmypostinthecountry.Ex-posing this graft and the custom ofOfficerscarryingfancymounts(horses)about the country to horseshowsatgovernmentexpense,Mr.Webb succeeded-in having the allow-ance cut that will,it is estimated,ef-fect a saving of $300,000 annually,Congressman Page of this State,whohasseveraltimesassailedthefreeseedhumbug,made.another effort,afewdaysago,to cut out this graft,He failed but he deserves commenda-tion for the effort.Some—of theNorthCarolinamembersandafewothershaveattimestriedtocutthemileagegraftandfailed.By and bywhenpublicattentioniscenteredonthesegraftingschemes,they willgo:John Sharp Williams went after theautomobilegraft—the custom of providing$0 Many government officialswithautomobilesatgovernmentpense—and it is hoped he ceeded in checking that se: extravagance.These cases aretionedtosaythatifmembers oCongresswouldgivemoreattentiontecorrectingabusesmillionsandmillionsofdollars,could be saved annuallytothetaxpayers.Those whomaketheattemptaresometimesridiculedandchargedwithplayingtothegalleries;but every member ofCongresswhotriestocorrectthesescandalousabusesisrenderingeffcientpublicserviceaiidshouldhavethesupportofthepeoplewhomheistryingtoserve.Such service isoffargreaterbenefittothepeople than trying to get money for a publicbuildingthatisnotneededortodrainacreekthatthelandowners should drain.i 5 ie ex has men r |f LIVE ITEMS OF STATE NEWS.| Aécidents,Crimes and Incidents ofLifeintheOldNorthState.

Some of the original progressives, while welcoming the plan for an or- ~-=ganized movement._to forward the principles of progressive Democracy, seem to be a trifle suspicious of Mr. J.W.Bailey appearing in the role of Jeader in the movement.The fact is, Mr.Bailey has always been a progres- sive and a progressive of action, Seme of his political associations have been far from progressive but We attribute that rather to force of circumstances.Anyway,we count it to Mr.Bailey’s credit that his job in the Federal service,procured as the friend and supporter of Senator Sim- mons,has not operated to close his mouth or decrease his activities in behalf of those things he has always advocated as best for the moral and material welfare of the State;and it is the more to his credit,when it is remembered that some of these vicws are not in harmony with those held by his late associates. ‘The attention of Statesville read- ers—especially busmess men and property-owners—is directed to some remarks by “Inquirer,”which ap- pear on the third page of The Land- mark.In every community there are a few people of wealth who do prac- tically nothing to help advance com- munity interests,but on the contrary dodge as much as possible of their share of the public burdens.They are content to let others do the work while they reap benefits to which they contribute nothing.If we al- jowed ourselves to think about these people,we would not only make re- marks that might cause a breach of the peace,but we would al]refuse, because these shirkers will not do their part,to do anything to advance the community and instead of prog- ress there would be stagnation. But .that won’t do.The greatmajority.of our people are pub- .lie-spirited and they gladly help onthecauseofprogress.The few small souls must:be endured,but if they could only realize what their fellow- citizens think of them and what some of them say.about them on oecasion, we belieye they would change their ways.a The settlement.of the freight ratecontentioninfavorofNorthCarolina is a great victory and it means much more for the material welfare of theStatethanwecanappreciate.Foryearsthemerchants’associations oftheStateandafewpublicmenlikeMr.E.J.Justice and others,hammer- ed on this apparently irremedia}in-justice.Judge Walter Clark took itupinhiscampaignfortheSenatetwoyearsagoanddidmuchtobringtheenormityofthediscriminationbe-|fore the people of the State.Thenwhenthematterhadgainedsuchmomentumasto-make it apparentthatsomethinghadtobedone,there‘was help aplenty and an injust burdenwhichhadlonghandicappedthebusi-ness interest and imposed a heavytaxonthemasses,was removed.Ap-parently ineradicable evils can be removedwhenthepeoplegetupand©go after them with a force that meansbusiness.The ‘trouble is that the public goes on enduring and feelingplessuntiltheeffortsofafew have labored in season and out 0 aroused public opinion that its |'demands ran’t be denied;and al Ways after the work many who did not raise a hand until the movement had become so popular it is done ‘front ranks and claim the credit.

H.B,WOODWARD,Jeweler, WESTINGHOUSE,INVENTOR./ ed Much to the World's Industry. George Westinghouse,.a foremost figure in the engineering world andinventoroftheairbrakethat-bearshisname,who died in New YorkThursdayofheart”diséease,’-became an inventor at the age.of 16;when he produced a rotary .engine,Fouryearslaterheconstructedadevice for replacing derailed steam ears,Then,when 21 years old,he soughtthefinancialbackingofthelateCom-modore Cornelius Vanderbilt for.his now famous air brake,perféeted af-ter three years of labor. “De yeu mean to tell me you can stop a railroad train by wind?”de- thanded the commodore,“Well,yes,indsmuch as wind,I suppose spoke the youth. “IT have no time to waste on fools,”said the commodore,thus abruptlyterminatingtheinterview,Westing- house sought.and found capital else-where,manufactured his invention,made high speed possible on rail-roads,revolutionizing traffic BYSs-tems and inaugurating e@ notable eraofrailwaydevelopment. For half a century Mr.Westing-house continued to sake other con-tributions fo electrical as well as en-gineering advancement.His -inven- tions and improvements had to do with railway signaling and power de- vices for safety and for economica]-ly conveying natural gas-over Jongdistancés-am?easing “tt for “indastriat and domestic fuel;air springs for motor vehicles of all kinds;and agearedturbinesystemforthepropul- sion of ships,developed in collabora- tion with the late Admiral George W.

In return for his many achieve- ments,the highest honors in the gift of technical societies and institutions of Europe and-America were bestow- ed upon Mr.Westinghouse,European sovereigns conferring distinguished orders.As recently as last December he received from.the principal en- gineering society of German the celebrated Grashof gold medal.Mr. Westinghouse founded many manu- facturing companies.in this country and abroad.In these industries some air isyou.are--right,” zation aggregating $200,000,000. Westinghouse was born in the vil- lage of Central Bridge,near Schen- ectady,N.Y.,October 6,1846,and at- tended the public school in Schenec- tady.He entered college but left it to enter the army during the War Between the States:He was later transferred to the navy and served there.Wife and ene son,George Westinghouse,Jr.,survive. Automobiles. Washington Dispatch. Senator John Sharp Williams made an unsuccessful fight in the Senate Thursday to check what he called government extravagance in the pur- chase of automobiles for,“joy-riding purposes.”The question came up in the consideration ot the District of Columbia appropriation bill to pro- vide automobiles for the District commissioners. Senator Williams suggested this was a good place to start a much needed reform.It was a public scan- dak,he said,the extent to which the government had gone into the pur- chase of automobiles for cabinet offi- cers and department heads,who,as far as government business was con- cerned,had no use for them except to come to their work and go home again.He-.used the street cars him- self,he added,and found them quite good enough.For public servants whose business could be expedited by the use of automobiles,the Senator advocated ingrease in salary suffi- cient to enable them to buy machines. Senator Gallinger remarked that he had often been mudspattered by a government machine driven by a de- partment clerk,and Senator Lodge admitted that the government ‘had gone “pretty far”in the automobile buying ‘industry,but both thought ithe District commissioners ought to have what they asked,Senator Wil- liams’amendment to eliminate pro- vision for the commissioners’ma chines was voted down. When the District appropriation bill came before the Senate an amendment offered by Senator Wil- liams providing that no part of the $13,000,000 appropriaxton should beusedtomaintainautomobilesexcept for the fire,police and emergency health service,was adopted.If the House concurs -the améndment-will send to storage some 31 automobiles now used by the District government.

Mr.Caldwell is of the opinion that the Governor and Mr.Varner of Lex-ington both share in the responsibil- ity for the loss of the money,but it is proper to say that Gov.Craig says he designated the roads to the depart- ment months ago and Mr.Varner de- nies any responsibility.

New Method Devised of Getting Farm Products to Market By Par- cel Post. Washington Dispatch. Postmaster.General Burleson;by amending the parcel post regulations,,announces the establiskment of a “farm products post,”which can be? utilized by farmers -and truckersfortheshipmentofcratesorboxesofbutter,eggs,vegetables and dresse poultry,weighing between 20 and 50 pounds,directly from the farm to the city kitchen.The new service is provided only for the first and second zones—approxi-mately 150 air-line mites.Under the new regulations boxes and _crates, similar to those used in the express service,wien packed with farm pro- ducts,will be carried outside the mail bags and will be promptly delivered to the city consumer. The “farm products post”is created for the purpose of opening up a cheap marketing avenue between the truck- er and the city”consumer;with—the view of reducing thé cost of table ne-cessities in the populous centres.In; vestigations show that food products, for which the farmer receives $3.24 on his farm,are retailed in the city for $5.55 under.the present market- ing system.It is the idea of the Postoffice and Agricultural Depart- ment experts,who ‘Have been study- ing this problem,that the farmer will accept $4.25 postage prepaid,for the articles of food which ke sells to the commission merchout for appro% imately $3.24 and for which the city consumer pays $5.55.If he does,the city concumer will save about $1.25 on every market basket. The Postoffice Department declares that the new regulations should prove a “boon to farmers and_truckers.” Under the old regulations the crates' and boxes of farm pruducts had to be| securcly packed and of such limited| size so they could be placed in mail bags.Under the new regulations the ordinary crates used in the express service for butter,eggs,fruits,ber-ries,vegetables;dréssed-poultry and other articles will be accepted,pro- vided,of course,maximuni Weight of these crates is not over 50 pounds. Packages under 20 pounds.must be handled in mail sacks with ‘ordinary mail. Probable Result of Frank Talks About Children..

Harry.Thaw,who is still held un- der legal restraint in New Hamp- shire,where his case is being heard in the Federal court,has appealed to the public for sympathy.He says he has suffered enough and he would ereate the impression that further pursuit of him is actuated by spite and malice.It is The Landmark’s opinion that had Thaw received jus- ‘tice in the first instance he would have gone to the electric chair;and that failing in that he should be lock- ed up for the balance of his days,for he is a dangerous man to be at large. But if Thaw will enter into an agree- ment that he will so efface hmiself that his name will never again ap- pear in the public prints,in any man- ner whatsoever,and will execute bond +to secure the faithful performance of the contract,The Landmark will agree,so far as it is concerned,that he be turned loose. EE J.B.Duke is promoting a plan for a chain of cotton warehouses to em- “brace all the cotton growing States, the warehouses to be available to farmers,merchants and manufactur- ers for the storage of cotton.Mr. Duke and other capitalists will finance the organization,the.pro- posed capital being $5,000,000.The proposition was presented this week _to business men and farmers at meetings in Charlotte and South Car- olina towns and the newspapers re- port that the idea met much favor. Farmers willbe given the opportu- fity.to store cotton and hold for higher prices and mill men and oth- ers can buy cotton and store against future needs.The cotton stored will be.weighed,sampled and graded and warehouse certificates issued against it which can be used as collateral to borrow money.At least one paper ..the Monroe Journal—is suspicious of the proposition.It says: |Mr.Duke now has the tobacco farmers in one coat pocket and when he gets the cotton farmers in the oth- er,with the water powers already in his vest pocket,we will begin to have things fixed to his notiom Such a system of warehouses.as Mr.Duke proposes would lead to control of the cotton produci.g business as straight as a martin flies to his hole.” Mr.Duke is not promoting the scheme from purely philanthropic mo- tives,of course.But until it has further information The Landmark is neither disposed to charge him with trying to take,advantage of the cot- ton producer nor to accept the propo- sition unreservedly.It doesn’t know enough about it at this stage to give a final opinion.—| When Gen.Julian 5S.Carr repre- sented Durham county in the Legis- lature,being a progressive citizen and an eminently successful and sen- sible business man,he introduced‘and had passed for his county a dog law. It was represented,when the law be- came effective,that there was much objection to it and our recollection is that the sheriff claimed it:was.im- possible.to collect the tax imposed on the dogs;and so the law,prob- ably,was allowed to fall into disuse, It all depends or.what sort of a sher- iff or law -officer is behind a law, whether it can be mode effective. Orange county his a dog law and this report of its operations is print- ed in the papers: “Orange county has been excep-tionally fortunate in the administra-tion of her dog law.The sheriff has had practically no trouble in collect- ing it.The proceeds’from this source will amount to practically $2,- 000,one-half of which is to go to the schools and the other to the road -fund,”Orange county adjoins Durham and there is no material ‘difference in the citizenship.The Orange county sheriff collected the dog tax and theDurhamcountyofficerscofildhave collected it had “they tried.The greatest evil of the day is failure of law enforcement,for.out of this come practically all othen evils’We have an abundance of laws but we are constantly asking for the pass- age of new laws to enforce those we _vhave.Thus we go on piling up laws when what we need is to put men behind what we have.Away must he found to deal with law officers who take to themselves the privilege ofenforcingonlysuchldwsasthey choose—a privilege which they have no right to exercise;and that way will be found,either by the ‘recall orotherwise.

A 5 per..cent discount.on-all_im- ports carried by ships of American registry as provided in the new tar- iff law,has been granted by the board of United States General Ap- praisers,in an opinion by Judge B. S.Wate.The board held that the fa- voring of American shipping was the plain intent of Congress in -framing the statute,and that the allowance the treaties with foreign countries. The act allows a discount of 5 per cent in duties on all merchandise im- ported in vessels of American regis- try,provided the discount does not involve violation of any treaty. The contest over the provision of the statute was begun last Novem- ber when Attorney General McReyn- olds imformed \port authorities that the discount previously granted by the statute could not be allowed to Amercan vessels without a violation of existing treaties.He,therefore, declared it inoperative and instructed port collectors to make no allowance for ships of American registry.Sev- eral foreign governments»had pro- tested against enforcement of the provision,Attorney General Me- Reynolds’action was followed by a protest from importers,which was filed with the board of general ap- praisers,who have been considering the case Since last December.a Would Pay Money Due Confederate Officers Who Were in U.8.Army.

I said:“Let me walk in the fields,”He said,“No,walk,in the town.”I said,“There are flo flowers there.”He said,“No flowers,but #crown.” I said,“But the skies are black,‘There is nothing but noise and din,” And He wept as He sent me back;“There is..more,”He said;“there is sin.” 1 said,“But.the air is thick,And fogs are veiling the sun.”He answered,“Yet souls are sick,And souls in the dark undone.” I said,“I shall ming,the light,And friends will miss me,they say.” He answered,“Choose tonightifIamtomissyou,or they.” I pleaded for time to be given,He said,“Is it hard to decide?It will mot seem hard in heaven To have followed the steps of your guide.” Then another thing that makes ussoglad.There-are so mz-ny people in our town and county who havesuchnicetelephonemanners.Only a few demand,“Who is trat?”and never tell who they are:Only a fewgo-into~other«people's tomes or of- fices ot stores ‘and other public places and talk a long time and in a loud voice to their friends or ~cquaintances, to the disturbance of the business in the homes,stores and the people—only a few!Then another thing:There is such a large per cent of our people who behave so well at church.There are so many who do not take the Sunday paper to church and _read it and who do not laugh and talk and disturb others,reflecting their innate sense of propriety and the beautiful home training they have received. Oh,we are evoluting into rea! greatness.We have strong attcch- ments for home but are big enough to be world citizens without disturb- ing or trespassing the rights of an- other.

The Statesville High School debat- ers won both at home and abroad in the triangular debates held Friday night under the auspices of the North Carolina.High School.Debating Union.thin a few minutes after the judges of the debate at the Statesville school had voted in favor of Statesville,a message came from Concord bringing the gratifying news that Statesville had also won there.This .means that the successfulStatesvilleteamwillgotoChapelHilltoparticipateinthefinaldebate April 3rd,the trophy of ‘which is the Aycock Memorial cup.Miss McBride AJjexander—and Frank Deaton__were the Statesville representing the affirmative,and Miss Margaret Kirk and Cowles Bris- tol were the Statesville speakers.at Coricord,representing the negative. A large audience,in which were a number of Salisbury people,heard and enjoyed the debate at the States- ville school.After making a few brief explanations Supt.Thompson tarned-the exercises over to Mayor L. C.Caldwell,who presided.The ros- trum was modestly decorated with flags and bunting and the contesting debaters occupied seats at tables on opposite sides of the rostrum,while the timekeepers,the presiding officer and the secretary occupied seats at the rear.My.J.A.Leitch of -Salis- bury and Miss Elizabeth Crowell of Statesville were the timekeepers and Watt Eagle was secretary.The sub- ject,“Resolved;that the Constitution of North Carolina should be so amended as to allow the Initiative and Referendum in State-wide Legis- lation,”was read by the secretary and after the terms of the debate had been announced by Mayor Caldwell the speaking began.The exercises opened a few minutes after 8 o’clock and closed a few minutes before 10. Twenty minutes had beenallotted to each speaker,not more than five min-utes of which could be used in the re-joinder,and all the speakers figured well on their time.The-~first si wes Miss Me- Bride A of the home team,representing the affirmative,who wastheonlyfeminineoratoroftheeve-ning.Stepping to the front of therostrum,Miss Alexander displayedadmirablegraceandcalmnessandherverycountenanceshowedtheconfi- dence in her theme and her ability to present it.Placing her notes on the table;she-spoke for 15 or 16 minutes without a halt,never referring to hernotes,and paving the way to final success.- The argument for the negative was opened by Walter Lowe Tatum of Salisbury,a short-pant youth with a keen black eye.He had his arru- ments down to a fine point,being thoroughly prepared,but he spoke with difficulty on account of a bad throat,his voice almost giving way at times.He waited to bring out several points of argument after the 15 minute bell had sounded,coming dengerously near taking up all his allotted time. Frank Deaton of Statesville made the secorid speech for the affirmative and the straightforward manner in which he spoke showed thorough prep-aration.Each phase of the question was taken up with deliberation andforcefullypresented.Only once did the speaker halt,and his connection came to him before he had turned to the proper place in his notes.Neither of his opponents nor his colleague appeared as ntuch at home on the platform as did Arthur Lee Shaver of Salisbury,the smallest of the debaters,who spoke second for the negative.A live wire with a strong current of inforn.ation,a youth of commanding appearance and a born speaker,he threw himself into the fight with a determination to win against all odds,winning the admira- tion of the audience before he had been on the rostrum a pair of min- utes.That he was the star of the evening will be conceded by practical-ly all who heard him. The rejoinders were necessarilybrief,but were spirited and interest- ing.Salisbury lost most heavily onthisscore.As little Shaver put it, there wasn’t time to answer al]the things the affirmative speakers “had said. When the speakers had concluded Mayor Caldwell instructed the chief marshal to take the ballots of the five judges—Messrs,R.B.Mic- Laughlin R.M.Gray,Wm.Morri-son,W.A.Thomas and R.V.Braw- ley—who sat at different places in the audience and voted without con-sultation.A feeling of suspenseprevailedwhilethevoteswerebeingcalledbyMayorCaldwellandrecord-ed by the secretary.,The first call,“affirmative one,”was a cheering oneforthehomefolks,but the next call, “negative one,”was just as good forthevisitors.‘Affirmative two”was the next call,followed by “negative two.”Every one sat in breathlesssilenceasthemayorheldthelast and deciding ballot in his hand andlookedfromonesideoftherostrumtotheother.As he said “affirmativethree”there was a burst of applauseandatushforthewinningdebaters. speakers “at “home;+ Colored Women Fight—Court Items.

Referring to the speakers again:It might be well for the local suffra- gettes to groom Miss Alexander as a public speaker.She is not of thetruemilitant.type,but she could do effective work on the stump,judging the future by the past.The debate marshals were Ross Alexander,chief;Fred.Morrison, Florence Gass,Walter Adams,Ken- neth Sherrill,Florence Miller,Kath- erine -Pressly,Jack Bowles,Ella Randlett,Myrtle Gilbert,Rowe Over- cesh,Nellie Carscaddon,Ada _Bell Barringer,Ruth Eads and Frank Grier. Of the debate at Concord,the Trib-une says:“Concord had the affirmative and was represented by Miss Lillian Es-telle Holt and Mr.Buford Blackwel-der,while Statesville had the nera-tive and"was represented by MissMargaretLouiseKirkandMr.Hen-ry Cowles Bristol.All the speechesshoweddeepthought,much research and a wonderful amount of careful preparation.The.delivery was _al-most faultless and would have done credit to students of maturer years and much wider -experience.Cer- tainly each school has cause to bevroudoftheshowingmade.Not un- til.the votes were counted could theresultbeknown.The result was 3to2infavorofStatesville.Judges—Dr,J.M.Grier,Prof.W.G.Caswell,Mr.J.F.Goodman and Mr.G.Ed.Kestler.”“ The Troutman High School wasthewipnerinthedebatesbetweenthe.three high schools of the coun-ty Friday night.At Troutman theaffirmativedebaters,Herman BrownandRoyWagner,defeated the nega-tive team from Scott’s,Ralph Har-ris and Dwaight Feimster;and theTroutmannegativeers,FrescaaeandDexter.the~affirmatives,HughCulverSmith,”Scott’s the home 4+family consiated of 14 boys.Mir West!

Home rule for Ireland,which now seems so near at hand ‘after more than 100 years of agitation,may re-sult in civil war by the revolt of theprovinceofUlster.The first effort of the British government to..meet the demand for home rule in Ireland was made by the late Mir.Gladstone in 1886.The bill was defeated.Since then other bills have been introduced and the last one passed the House ofCommons,but was rejected by theHouseofLords.his led to thePpassagethreeyearsagoofthe’Par- liament -act;-ander the provisions of which any bill not an appropriation bill,rejected by the House of Lords, becomes automatically a law on pass- ing the House of Commons at the three successive sessions.Under these provisions it is apparent that the home rule bill will become law.But the Unionists of Ulster,a prov- incé of Tretand;resolved —to--fieht rather than submit to it.They have armed and equipped a large number of men and the \situation today is very critical.Civil war may begin at any moment.Of course in the end the British government would sub- due the Ulsterites,but for many reasons it is desired to avoid the con- flict. Sir Edward Carsoa is at the head of the agitation against home rule among the Unionists of Ulster.He and ‘several other leading men took the initiative in organizing an army of Ulster volunteers to resist the in- troduction of home rule.for Irelandinitsentirety.The chief point at is- sue in Ireland is a religious one.Out of a total populaton of about 4,500,- 000,approximately 500,000 are Pro- testants of various denominations. Most of them are found in the four Ulster counties of Londonderry,An- trim,Armagh and Lown.The other five counties of Ulster are predomi- nantly Catholic.There is considera-ble difference between the people of the eastern part of Ulster and those of the rest of Ireland.Many of the Ulsterites are descendants of Eng- lish settlers sent there by Crom- well to foster the agriculture and in-dustries of Ireland-after he had-sub-dued the country.Others are de- cendants of Scottish Covenanters.Not all the Protestants of Ireland,however,are against home rule.InUlsterthereareninecountieswithapopulationofabout1,750,000,but itisinthefourcountiesnamedthatthe opposition is centered.The British government is sending additionaltroopsintoIrelandtosupplementthe ‘oree there in anticipation of trouble. but many of the army officers havetesignedandthereisprospectofse-rious disaffection in the army be- cause the soldiers do not -want to fight the men of Ulster. In a sentence,the Protestants of Ireland,or the great bulk of them, propese to fight rather than submit to a home government in Ireland that would be dominated by Catho-lics.There is a proposition to elimi- nate Ulster from home rule for a limited period.A:conflict may be avoided,but one is near at hand. Big Fire in Durham. The Charlotte Observer morning says: “The worst fire in the history of Durham,discovered about 11 o’clocklestnight,at 2 o’flock this morning had destroyed the five-story Brodie L.Duke office building on Main street and several stores,and though par- tially under control was raging with a fury that menaced the entire block. The loss was estimated at.over million dollars.Originating in a sumbing shop on the second floor, the blaze swept up the elevator shaftndsoonenvelopedtheentirestruc- ture.” A Home-For-Old Ladies-in ‘Charlotte Charitable people have establish- ed in Charlotte a home for indigent old ladies..The building has just been completed in Belmont,a Char- lotte suburb,at a cost of $9,000.It has 12 rooms with modern conven- iences—steam heat,wun parlor,etc.By the payment of $260 an old lady who has no home nay have a home there for life..Few old ladies who have no homes ‘have $250,but the idea is that the money will be con-tributed by others for worthy cases; and the home,of course,must have something to run on. of this Rufus L.Johnston,a Wake county farmer and dairyman,was accident- ly killed Sunday morning when he was thrown through the gicss frontofhisdeliverywagonbythesudden breaking of a coupling bolt.He was hurried to a hospital but died in a short time.Broken glass penetrated the brain through his eye.

Rev.Samuel R.Miaxwell,pastor of the Christian church at Wilmington, has brought suit against the Fidelity |Trust &Development Co.and Mr.C. That is an intensely human story, as well as a unique and novel state- ment from the President of the Unit- ed States,that Mr.Wilson told the Press club.We have often wonder- ed if the President didn’t long to get away fromthe conventions that sur- round him and be his own natural self;do just as.he pleased,or as a private citizen would,and say what he wanted to say.Mr.Wilson clear- ly reveals that intense longing.And we have often wondered whether a President,having to decide among so many applicants for office,was trou- glycerine apparently were exploded, the robbery was not discovered until a fire company ~esponded to a call to the bank shortiy before daylight.The fire,which evidently started from explosives,was quickly extinguished. In Paris last week an actress ap- peared on the stage in one act of a play totally naked and was applaud- ed.When the curtain was raised in response to the applause,however, and the naked woman appeared again, she was hissed.Many of the actress- es appear attired only in an apology for clothes,with as much suggestion as possible,and so far as evil is con- cerned they had about as well appear in the “altogether,”as Trilby ex- pressed it, J.A.Eubanks,a farmer living bled by the thought of the heart- burnings among the disappointed ones.Mr.Wilson says there are postoffices to which he could not mail a letter because of the unpleasant recollections contected with them.A President is but a man and the glimpse Mr.Wilson gives us of his inner self shows that he is a very human man.* All editors will hope that the ex- ample set by the wife of a French| politician,who killed an editor who assailed her husband,will not be- come popular.If the wives of the public men in this country,whose| husbands are assailed by the news- papers—-sometimes violently assailed and sometimes®unjustly assailed— were to take it upon themselves to go gunning for editors,there would be many funerals among the editoria! fraternity.We have no doubt the wives of politicians very often feel| like doing that very thing,for it must | be trying to a woman who loves her husband,who believes in him and is ambitious for his success,to read the criticisms of him—often very unkind —in the newspapers.In the case of the French lady,however,it is inti- .mated that the act.was not so much tpe.-result of _wifely devotion as a4desiretopreventtheexposureof some of her own shortcomings.

To the Editor of The Landmark: Every loyal citizen who.has the interest of Statesville and Iredell county at heart.should commend the article in last Tuesday’s Landmark, signed Inquirer.As an old colored woman on my father's farm would have said,what he wrote was the “Gawd’s trufe.”airs But I.will have to ask Inquirer where he has lived all the while that he should seem surprised at the state of facts developed by..a canvass for the purpose mentioned?There are those among the unusually well-fixed who expect from those of limited means the earth with a fence ‘around it.They.are the human cowbirds. The maternal ‘instinct is strong among birds generally.The cow- bird is the exception.It never builds a nest of its own but deposits its egg in.the nest of some other bird,.usu- ally a very much sitaller bird.The egg is hatched by the owner of the nest,usually before her own eggs are hatched.The young cowbird is larger when hatched and grows more rapidly than the other birds, On account of its rotusrness and size it takes the nourishment from the birds to which the nourishment prop- erly belongs,until they die and the cowbird grows to maturity and joins its kind.How like this is the man who re- ecives benefits made possible by the efforts and means of others and to which he does not contribute his part.Every increase in.population and every_added industry benefits di- Have Not Sown andTheyHaveNot man in town..All enterprising busi- ness men want to share in these ben- efits and some of them give freely of their time and means to bring them about.But there ace those who do not contribute either sf their time or means and yet they hold out their scoops for the biggest share at ev- er grown,amounting to.14,127,356,ery division of benefits.These non- equivalent 500-pound bales of lint ‘contributors are not ignorant of the and 639,795 .equivaient 500.pound |fact that benefits will result but they bales-of:linters,was produced by the}know they will come by the other farmers of the United States during |fellow’s efforts and they also know 1912,the census bureau announced|they“will reap their share of bene- Friday in its preliminary report of |fits.Such men accumulate proper- cotton ginned as reported by ginners|ty—more than those who join in and delinters to February 28.public-spirited undertakings and con- These figures compare -with 13,-|tribute freely of their mmited means 703,421 equivalent 500-pound bales of |_and are referred to and looked up- lint and 609,594 bales of linters lastion as the successful men of the year,and 15,692,701 bales of lint and |community and it is even contended 557,575 bales of linters in 1911.hy some that.they will be missed.

Jumping into an elevator that had been.deserted by the operator,this college youth ran it up and down its shaft through heat and smoke until the last person was down and until there was nothing left for the eleva- tor to move on.The last time,in- deed,he could only go to the fourth floor—to go higher he would have *been compelled to run ait.When he came ‘down this last trip the elevator wavered and shook with the rumblings of the”flames, and when within eight feet of the bottom the car had-practically.noth- ing to move on,part of the woodwork having been burned and charred,and it all but fell with a crash.But on this last trip,”made through .smoke and flame,with death playing in lu- rid form all about,risking his life to death as the solemn reward,with his nose and mouth covered by one hand and:with the other hand pilot- ing the elevator upward,the new el- evator boy found one last man,the only man left in the building,and brought him to the cherished earth. Thus he became a hero,and after his ‘duty-was-done he slipped away.

The information was finally pull- ed from him-that he had fever.run an elevator before;that he asked the elevator boy for the light to be re-placed,and that he ran the elevator up one floor and back down to mfike sure how the business was done. Then he went up té the top ‘and re- peated it as long as the elevator woyld run.At times,under his in- spiration,others went up with him.The last trip he had considerable trouble in reaching the fourth floor.

FRIDAY,»---.March 27,1914. THE RALEIGH MEETING. The Landmark is printing the call for the proposed meeting of progress- ive Democrats in Raleigh,the ©date yet to be fixed.This is to be a meet- ing.of Democrats who believe that certain.measures would,if enacted into law,make for the material and moral*betterment of the State.The things’suggested are,as we under- stand it,merely recommenda- tions and one does not have to sub- scribe to all of them to be eligible to take part_in the gathering.The men who propose this forward move- ment for the,upbuilding of the State are called progressives.to distinguish them from the Democrats who insist on leaving things as they are.The meeting is for Democrats:only—Dem- ocrats who wish to consult together about certain legislation they.want enacted and who hope by organizing to so make their influence felt in the making of platforms and the selec- ,tion of candidates that what they de- sire will be accomplished.This,in a nutshell,is what The Landmark understands to be the pur- pose of the Raleigh meeting,and the right to call the meeting,for this pur- pose cannot be guestioned.We havecometoa_fine -pass-indeed if Demo-crats who wish the party to do cer- tain things have not the privilege of using their influence and all-legiti- mate»means within the party,with- out asking anybody’s permission,to have the party adopt their views. Some of the politicians and news- <\papers who are always afraid that any change may affect the folks who are in control,are somewhat perterb-ed about the matter.They are very solicitous about the welfare of the Farmers’Union and fear it will be hurt.They seem also to be afraid that somebody will run for office.It is urged that these questions should be left to the regular convention and es IN THE COUNTRY AT LARGE rious Parts of the Wi Sentenced to be hanged April 17, fers... -}William Dees of paerenes re-fusing to eat.Unless nges his mind he will be forcibly fed.

State Food Chemrst W.M.Allen| says there has been considerable de-| crease in the number of violationsof | the Stcte pure food laws during the|past year and that the most eethathisinspectorsfindnowisthe|scle in bulk by Norvn Carolina deal ers of substitutes for the pure arti- eles in a number of itnes of groceries that are handled in bulk,especially lard,vinegar.and syrups.These areshippedintotheStatelabeledaccord- ing to the law as substitutes with ingredients specified,but are sold by some ufiserupulous ret>il merchants as the real articles to the retail trade, and there is no law to.reach these vio- lations effectively. Mr.Allen says there is much im- provement in numbers of the import- ant towys of the State in the cleanli- ness of the grocery stores and he gives Hamlet the palm as having about the best kept grocery stores in the State.There is great room for eee in keeping *grocery stores.Many of them are dirty,ill- smellings with articles of food expos- ed_to flies and dust;and salesmen with dirty hands handle cheese and butter and numerous other things they sell folks to eat;while articles of food are-set outside the door to gather dust and dirt and disease germs;to be handled by loafers with dirty hands and walxed over by pass- ing dogs.Some of the stores keep cats ih the building at night te catch rats and the cats make beds on some of the things folks eat.Yes,there is much room for improvement in keeping grocery stores in the average town and the demand for cleaner and more sanitary places is a fertile field for housewives’leagues,etc. Coal Mine Fatalities’Increased Last Year. The year 1913.-was more fatal for coal miners in the United States than the preceding 12 months.A re- port issued by the bureau of mines shows an increase of fatalities of 425 over 1912,and 12 deaths for ev- ery working day jin the year.In the army of 728,355 underground work- ers 2,785 perished,a fatality rate of 3,782 in every 1,000 men employed as compared with 8,127 in 1912.Dr.Jo- seph A.Holmes,director of the bu- reau,in commenting upon the year’s record,said: “An examination of the statisticsdevelops.the disappointing fact that in our coal mining operations during1913therewerekilled425morementhan’diring I91z.“This”tsan~ crease of 18-per cent in fatal acci- dents,with an increase of only about 8 per.cent in coal production. “We can find little comfort in the suggestion that this increase may inpartbeaccountedforbytheoccur- rence during 1913 of four’large mine explosions.The statistics show an increase in fatalities during 1913 from all the underground causes ex- cept mine fires.and surface acci- dents. “Some progress has been made, however,in the safety movement as showh by the statistics for the last eight years.In the four years endingDecember31,1909,the average death rate was 3,27 for each 1,000 men em-ployed.In the last four years the’ rate Was 3.68.” Congressman Pege has asked Mr.R.’F.Beasley,who will oppose Mr. Page for Congress in the seventh dis- trict,to join with him in «request to the State committee to order a pri- tary election in the district to selectacandidate,° my ——bogie 8 Gat pac lg ge i * sary "\ihoaad,The receipt of Reported For The Landmark. the ladies of the AidFirstPresbyterian<chinumberofotherladies who vecently‘moved to Statesville, R,McLelland met theaon door,which was opened by little ed over by Mrs. Mrs.L.Ash. and Mrs.W.F.Hall,assisted Misses Mary -Hill,Sarah Adants, did the ‘honors, wiches and delicious candies, a invitation and gl)enjoyed the el reception and _Appree iated thethoughtfulnesg@thatprompted>Mrs. Long to plan Stich an entertainment; Honor Roll of’Feimster School.

Nothing to comparé with the scene had occurred in the House since the famous Cannon rules fight four years ago.In vain Representative Under- wood took the floor and urged his col- leagues to vote againsc the rule.The rank and file Democrats after listen- ing to three hours of passionate ar- gument,swung into the President’s column,199.of them voting to pre- vent the amendment of the special rule,while 55 followed the leaders in joining with the.minority in opposi- The special rule adopted allows 20 hours for debate and shuts out all amendments.Only a formal motion to recommit can be made at the close of debate.Administration supporters consider the crucial point passed and predict that when debate ends,today or tomorrow,the final vote will show a majority of more than 100 for re- peal.With Representative Underwood, Speaker Clark and Representative Fitzgerald on the minority side,the Democratic majority for the time recognized”as leaders.Representa- tive.Henry,chairman of rules; Adamson,chairman of the inter- State and foreign commerce com- mittee:Palmer of Pennsylvania, Hardwick of Georgia,Sherley of Kentucky,and other prominent fig- ieee aundieeuamedee’ ence,no matter how ordinary a‘citi-|ures supporting the President's po- gen he may be nor what his ‘crime.}sition.

He has been appointed a member of the board of county elections.He also received notice of his appoint- ment as a director of the State So- ciety of Mental Hygiene and 4 mem- ber of the Burbank Society.—High Point Enterprise.These are by no means all the positions Mr,Tate holds.He is a member of the com- mission that went abroad last sum- mer to study rural credits;he is a director of the Southern Commercial Congress;a member of the board-of directors of the State Hospital at Morganton and a member of the exe- cutive committee;a member of the High Point school board and secre- tary of the board;secretary and treasurer and chief owner of a furniture manufacturing com- pany;a deacon in the Baptist church and superintendent of the Sunday school.In this hasty enumeration We may have overlooked some of thepostsMr.Tate holds,but those men- tioned are the most important.In about all the jobs except his main business —furniture manufacturing Mr.Tate gets the honor for pay— he “works for nothing and boardshimeelf.”But he is faithful and ef- ficient wherever he is assigned todutyandthat’s-why the jobs seek bim. *** It is a pleasure to note that~so many North Carolina towns areshut- ting out carnivals.Recently a suc- cessful effort was made to shut themoutofSalisburytownship,which in- eludes Salisbury and Spencer;High Point and Kinston have said no toapplicationsandHickoryhas’at- tempted to legislate them out.If there is anything helpful or elevating about the avdrage carnival The Land- mark never been able to discov- er i;atid the idea that it helps bus-iness by drawing a crowd is fallaci- ous.It’takes away about all plans eventually for repeal.The solid Progressive deleégation—of thé House,led by Representative.Mur- dock of Kansas,waS aligned against the majority.President Wilson’s tri- umph was considered most notable by the rank and file of all parties because of the unusual alignment of forces within the “Democratic ranks. While the debate on the rule was in progress Representatives Adam- son and Hardwick,for the adminis- tration,attacked Speaker Clark’s po- sition and in reply Mr.Underwood made an urgent plea for support from his colleagues.Mr.Sims of Tennessee,author of the repeal bill, opened the debate for repeal and Mr. Underwood opened for the opposi- tion.All the North Carolina mem- bers except Mr.Kitchin voted with the administration. The Motor Cars and Their Cost. Charlotte Observer. Over one million motor cars are now being operated in’the United States and production schedules for the current year have been estimat- ed at 375,000 cars.These figures in the April World’s Work take ac- count of the fact that,as the pop- ulation of the United States is a hundred million in round numbers, this country has one car for every hundred people—jmen,women and.children.The.value of the 1914 au- tomobiles,an increase of 75,000 ‘innumberover1913,will be approxi- mately $500,000,000.If all are sold, therefore,it will mean an automobile expenditure for this one year of $5 for every person in the United States.The World’s Work figuresdonotineludeexpendituresforre- pairs,fuel,second-hand machines, storage,etc.We have undoubtedly thrown a considerable part of ourindustrialandcommercidli{,energies into the manufacture,sale”and up- keep of automobiles—with a swift- ness almost beyond belief.

Monroe Enquirer. Mr.J.-E.Little of Jackson town-ship had-a hound dog which met hisdeathbyviolencesometimeinFeb-Truary,1912.Henry Keno and Os- ear Crockett,both colored,were ac-fused of killing the dog.They ad-mitted the killing,but claimed that they thought that the dog was mad,They were indicted-and the case cameupfortrialbeforeamagistrateandhesentittotheSuperiorCourt.The Supericr Court sett it back to the Magistrate with instruction to “pro- ceed under the ‘statute which re-quires cases of that kind to be re- turnable before the recorder and notbeforetheSuperiorCourt.The caseWentbeforetherecorder’s court andthatcourttheaccusedwerefound Zuilty after about a‘day had been consumed in the trial.The case Went up from the recorder’s court on appeal to the Superior Court and Was tried last October,about a daybeingtaken‘up tn hearing it and then the jury,after being out all night and far into the next day,came ‘}into court and said that they were divided and could not agree.-A-mis- trial was ordered and the case was Set for the January term’of -courtandwascontinueduntiltheMarch term.Oscar Crockett did not appear for tria!at the last term of courtandHenryKenowastriedalonefor the dog’s murder.It was the first ease on the docket and was taken mp last Monday morning and in the afternoon the jury came into open court and said “Not guilty,”and Henry Keno was discharged.ButasCrockett,who is under indictment fer killing that dog,;—has—not--been tried,that dog case is but half over. The killing of that dog,which was but an ordinary hound,has taken up about six days’time in the courts, has piled up a bill of costs of about $150 or more and has consumed the time of many men for days—and all about a dog—just a hound dog at that.Moral:“There ain’t none.” Vultures and Wasps and Hornets. Talking about the vultures,com- monly called buzzards,that ate the Cleveland county man’s turnips,Mr. A.A.Hines of Statesville says heneversawbuzzardseatturnipsbuthe knows of one case that was calculat- ed to call them in.One year when he lived in the country,says Mr.Hines,his turnips grew on top of the ground—most of them.Follow- ing a severe freeze they rotted and the odor from that turnip patch was strong enough to collect all the buz- Zards from the regions round about.While they did not come to Mr.Hines’patch,probably finding more desirable feeding elsewhere,Mr. }Hines thinks it was.probably some Pro-isuch conditions that drew them ‘totheClevelandman’s turnip patch.

The talk about yielding to England and bargaining is demagoguery. Speaker Clark,who has been sore since his defeat for che presidential nomination at Baltimore,embraced the opportunity to make an assault on the President and exhibit his sore toe.These flings at the President are altogether discreditable.The re- peal pill will pass the House prompt- "Jy but there will be yeiek delay in the Senate. As a ‘starter,"and while bigger things are being planned,how wvould it’do for the “Commercial “chub to consider ‘hitching lots,or better ar- rangeménts than we now have to take care of the stock and vehicles of the country'jfolks who come to town.This is getting to be a prob- lem and an important one.Mean- time the club will of course be glad to co-operate with the Civic League and city government in cleaning the back lots and keeping them clean and in helping to make.Statesville a “fly- less town.”If the back lots were kept é¢lean—as they should be and can be with proper attention—the hitching space now available would be more inviting and the breeding places of flies would be largely climi- nated. The date ‘for theState meeting of progressive Democrats in Raleigh is fixed for April 8.Saying that this meeting is aided and abetted by President Wilson and will be attend- ed by two of his cabinet _officers— Bryan and Daniels—the Washington correspondent of the Greensboro News further observes: “It has been argued that the Ral-—ns is simply for the pur- *Boa together upon pro- Seeiies slation.That is one of the many tines that will be brought ‘to the attention of the gathering,but the question of the State being run by machine politics is not going to be forgotten.Indeed,it is said,this sub-ject will be forcibly presented to theeeawhenthvy.assemble in leigh’s auditorium some time next month.The writer was told today that the time is drawing near whentheStatewillbreakawayfrom‘boss-ism’and ‘machine.politics.’North Carolina will never stand for the way things are being run in the State,’ said a prominent Democrat _today. ‘Those who are running rough shod over the average Democrat will fall”just as sure as did Tammany Hall. ‘From the perturbation in some quarters and.the dense silence in oth- ers,it is evident that some of the gentlemen who now control the poli- tics of the State are afraid that what the correspondent predicts may be the result of the Raleigh meeting.

Progressive Democrats to Gather in Raleigh on Thatnan Otro By Bryan,Daniels and Mr.Poe Outlines the Purposes of the Gathering.| Raleigh News and’Observer,29th. Wednesday,April 8th,is the day for the Progressive Democratic mass meeting in Raleigh;William.J,Pore and addition to.State leaders,3 thorough going State-wide primary is expected to be the dominant issue. So-announced Chairman Clarence Poe,who yesterday reeeived a tele- igram from Washington giving «the "Bryan date and ‘also.a letter from President Wilson expressing further interest in the North Carolina pri- mary fight and_especial satisfaction with the New Jersey primary law, which was put through while he was Governor.Mr.Poe also gave ia:the following interview: To Be a Great Mecting. “We are going to have a great meeting;great from the standpoint of results and a thoroughly,representa- tive attendance.We have signers lit- erally from Murphy to Manteo—both places are represented,although our preliminary notice went to a mere handful.of people;and it is self-evi- dent that every faction of the party is represented. “With William J.Bryan,Josephus Daniels,Governor Craig and ex-Gov- ernor Glenn as active participants, and Weodrow Wilson cheering us on, the crities are silenced and I believe we have even silenced those “who doubted Mr.J.W.Bailey’s progres- siveness,..whereas-he isin favor of avery plank iw the ealt andthe initia tive and‘referendum besides;the folks who questioned Dr.H.Q.Alexander’s Democracy surrendered with the rec- ord of his three terms as a Demo- cratic Representative;and I believe all are willing to admit that a mere rank-and-file Democrat like myself who has never voted for anybody from constable to President but a straight Democratic nominee,may be eligible for some duties even if he has never held or wanted office./ For No Division in Party. “The declaration |made in the be- ginning,namely,that the meeting is limited to good and toyal Democrats, looks to no division in the party,a is not concerned.with office,patron- age,or booms for any individuals, will be lived up to;and the attempt to make it appear that the Farmers’ Union was involved in it was very quickly exploded. “That’s one thing I hope we.haye heard the last of,”Mr.Po@ contin- ued,“this insulting of as good and loyal Democratic.furmers as there are in the State by accusing them of planning a new party ‘whenever they try to make their influence felt in politics.A few soft-snap offices.giv- en as ‘recognition’of the farmers is not what they want,but they do.want progressive legislation for the up- building of the State and our agri- cultural interests,and they intend to say so Without being taunted with treachery or disloyalty.Nor do they need the new sqif-appointed guar- dians of the Farmers’Union,The members will see to it that nobody makes a political machine of the Union,but they will also see to ‘it that every member,lay or leader,is encouraged to work inside his party, Democratic,Republican or what not, to promote measures and policies hethinksforthepublicgood.And that is all the mass meeting involves.” The Meeting is Needed. Mr.Poe then took up the question as to the special necessity for the mass meeting.“Why not wait till the regular Democratic State conven- tion is a pertinent one,”he said,“and I confess I have had much sympathywithmenwhohaveraisedit,especial-ly the older,men in the party.Frank- ly,1 wish Some man older than I in party service had been put on the committee in my place,but with old leaders like Bryan,Daniels,Govern- or Glenn,Governor Craig,General Carr and scores of others as:allies,that point may be waived.And as for the necessity for the convention,the answer is a very simple one.Mr. J.Alton McIver puts the whole mat-ter very concisely when he says:‘I am in favor of the mass meeting,first,in order that policies may be discussed separate from nominations;second,that the pepple may first say what they want and later who can get what they want;and third,that party councils may hear.plans and wants as well as submit them.’ To Get Concert of Action. “Everybody knows how it has beenheretofore.The folks in Northamp- ton might want a legalized primary and elect State delegates favoring it, and so might a dozen other counties. But in-86-counties-the -sabject-might not be mentioned and so nothing would be done.The object of the mess meeting is to present a list of subjects for consideration in every county and so get some concert of action in their behalf.Without -di-rect legislation I see no.other way Legalized ‘PHimaby the Demand. “There is no doubt-about it,in view efforts on community and county up than make good our claim tha Carolina”and that does things.” only law aside the feeling for And we must “a pri-|Segregation between “the races,willDateinterestsBitwemustco-operate |“8?TY on a campaign for this grow- vith the officers of the club in the |tei:vat a oo eee;r j 4 -arue ‘8 organizec 0 pusn theyorktheyundertake.We are all at|State-wide anti-jug bill,I am goingfiberty:to make suggestions and the|to recommend that these-two sub jects | officers will of course be glad to have rae referred to the counties so that)‘them,ae waieawien abaethina is:de ft aia ao thas 1,hy undivided}‘e legalize ‘cided on for the general,welfare we |te xation,and other qhied Jue mist all.get behind it and push it|the call’We must concentrate if we nlong. building and betterment,we can more Statesville is “the best town in North |*®al article. “Tredell is the county| not |ly of the correspondence I have had, |that a powerful and thorough going \legalized primary is the main thing t|our people are after.They want the As oar time will be |very limited,and in view of the fact Union,wnanimous- endorsing the proposition for land that the Farmers’ livery contract, culture bton-dn 1914,.csith the. tion?”he has been asked.“The ques-|; is urged:te d name.toadhave no2 9 —-noorganization.nae ’s movement,cnet,and =ofcorespantstheoriginalcalltoamereburriedly‘selected ,handful’of people.

J.L.Fickling,Macon,.Ga,says: “My child was very thin and delicate, no appetite,nervous,and did not sleep well.Doctors did not help her. Vinol-was recommended and the change after a fair trial was wonder- ful,She sleeps soundly all night,has a splendid appetite and has gained in weight.I wish every mother knew what Vinol will do for delicate chil- dren.” What Vinol did for this little girl it will do for every weak and ailing child because sickly children need the strengthening cod liver elements and the tonic iron that Vinol con- tains—that is why Vinol builds them up quickly and gives them a fine, healthy color.It is pleasant to take and we guarantee that the results will satisfy you—-money back if they do not.
