Mr.Godbey had recently been ad- vised by physicians that,an operation on his throat was necessary..The operation,while a seriousone,was not necessarily dangerous;but it is believed the young man became de- spondent on.this account and while mentally irresponsible shot himself.

There must be a misunderstanding somewhere as to these ‘final settle-ments and partial settlements with the sheriff.We,are not sure weclearlyynderstandGov.Turner’s statement,but we take it to mean this:That a sheriff who receives the #918 tax books in the fall of 1913, say,must make final settlement for these 1913 taxes in the fal]of 1914—before he can receive the tax books for 1914.If that is what is meant we are unable to find any such settlements recorded in the past10years.In 1905 the record showsSheriffSummersmade’final settle- ment for 1903,and in 1907 he madefina)settlement for 1904.In the first case it was two years after the at were put in his hands and in second case three years.In all these years he made partial set ents,as has been ‘done in thecasé6fthepresentsheriff,but it is final ements that we understand to ‘be the issue.In April,1910,a final settlement showed balances due for 1906-1907-1908,and in October, 1910,final settlement was made for the balances for these years.In all these eases Gov.Turner helped makethesettlementasattorneyforthe county,These cases are not cited, of course,as any reflection on Sher- iff Summers,who has a clear record with the county,but to show the cus- tom i the past.For lack of time settlements further back were not ex- amined. The record also shows a_partial settlement with Sheriff Deaton,Gov. Turner attorney for the county,'in October,1910,for the 1909~°taxes and @ second partial settlement in the fall of 1911 for 1909 taxes.None of these settlements were final but the sheriff was given the tax books ‘in 1910 and 1911 without making a final settlement for 1909.Since the 1911 partial settlement Mr.H.P. Grier been special attorney for the ¢@ounty and partial settlements have been made each year. As ‘we view the case from all the facts We can .gather,the only criti- cism that would lie in Sheriff Deat- on’s e@se is that final settlements were made with his predecessor, Mr.Summers,at the end of two and three year periods,but that no final settlement has been made with Sher- iff Deaton since he has been in of- fice,@ period of nearly five and a half vears,The county commissioners, however,the former board as well as the present one,would be responsible for not enforcing the law if these final settlements are required annu- ally.Jf that be the law it does not Lscomuko:..have..beon~complied-with it the ease of Sheriff Summers and the practice of allowing longer periods eems.to have grown in the case of Shériff Deaton.It is proper to say that Sheriff Deaton has had his list of insolvents ready for some time to make final settlement for 1909, but the matter has not been taken up;and he has his list of insolvents for 1910 about ready.It is stated,as explained in the last issue,that sher- iffs find it impossible,under our sys-tem of doing business,to collect in one year all the taxes that should be colleeted because so many_people hange their place of abode.By hold- ing @mtlonger,it is asserted,many people.who could not be found at the end of the:first year are found and made’t@ pay. If The Landmark was to offer a suggestion it would say that the prac- tice im Tredell ought to be changedsoa8tomakefinalsettlementswiththesheriffrigidlycompulsoryattheendoftwo-year periods at least,The practice.of allowing the matter to drag and hang on several years is un- business-like and unwise.Nobddydoubt’that full and satisfactory set- tlement.will be made by Sheriff Dea- ton for all amounts due.The criti- HORRORS OF A MEXICAN ‘JAIL. What Americans Have Suffered in Mexico and Along the Border Since the Present Troubles Began. So far as the reports show,no Amerigans have been put to death in Mexico since the pregent troubles be- gan,but many of thém have suffered terribly.They were cast into prison, insulted and maltreated and.threat- ened with death.Thg following dis- patch from Vera Cruz will give an idea of what’Americans in Mexico endured: “Sleeping onthe stone flagging of the jail,pale,with insufficient food, fo.sanitation and threatened every night with assassination by drunken jailers,is the experience of the-Amer- icans and other foreigners,including women and children,confined at Cordoba,Mexico.Their release Tues- day was promised by General Maasin*reply to a request from American Consul Canada through a messenger who returned to Vera Cruz Tuesday. W.H.Mechling of the geological survey of Canada,who has been for some time in Mexico in behalf of the universities of Harvard,Pennsylva- nia and Columbia,spent two.days at Cotdoba.”He was detained but not put in jail,and finally was permitted to,proreed..ta.Vera.Cruz.as.on.Eng- lishman;-though—he-is-in--reatity-an American.Mechling went to the jail in Cordoba Sunday afternoon.and talked to-the prisoners,among whom are several he knew.They begged him to communicate their plight to Consul Canada and Rear Admiral Fletcher in an endeavor to.secure their release. The prisoners were herded like cat- tle and were jeered at almost con- stantly,either by the keepers or the Mexican inmates of the jail.Theywerepermittedtohavefoodanddrinkonlywhenthewhimsuitsthejailers and were kept-in a state of terror by frequent threats of death,Among the prisoners is a young American woman ,with a four-months-old in- fant.There were several other wo- men and children and the total num- ber of.ali nationalities,according to Mechling,was 85. Not only in the interior towns didAmericanssuffer,but there’Was great fear along the border,either of an invasion or an uprising.In El Paso, Texas,a border town,there are many Mexicans and a citizen of that town,writing to a friend in Ashe- ville,says the Citizen,tells of ‘the fear there.The letter says the wo-men and children of El Paso were taken to mammoth flats where they were quartered in the basementswhilefathers,and brothers bought pistols and laid in big stores of am- munition for use in case of a Mexi-can uprising.It is stated that thesilvergndothervaluablesinthepos- session of the family were.hidden during the excitement for fear that it would be stolen in case of any up- rising or an invasion. That the residents of..E]Paso do not have a great deal of confidenceforVillawas~indicated by the writ- er,who stated that the Constitution-alist leader had said that he was com- ing to the border for the sole pur-pose of °‘“seeing his Americanfriends.”The friends weré sure that their weapons were in good conditionandtheirsupplieswerenotrunninglowwhenthey,heard that he and his hosts were approaching. Canal Tolls Repeal BillFavorably. Administration leaders Wednesday won the second round of their fight to repeal the free tolls provision of the Panama canal act when the Sen- ate canals committee,by a vote ofeighttosix,ordered the House bill earrying the repeal reported to the Senate.Together >with the bill will be reported an amendment proposed by Senator Simmons and approved by the committee,which reads: “Provided,that neither the pas- sage of ‘this act,nor anything therein contained,shall.be construed or held as waiving,impairing or affecting any treaty or other right possessed by the United States.” This amendment,it is said,metPresidentWilson’s approval.Admin- istration leaders are confident that with it attached the~repeal¢bill will be passed by the Senate and someSonaters-opposed-to-repsak-agree with this view. Reported Mexicans at Tampico Fire oh Amer- ican Steamer, A dispatch from”Vera Cruz,dated yesterday,says the Ward Line steam- er Antilla was fired upon by both theFederals‘and the rebels at Tampico yesterday.The steersman of the ves- sel was struck by one of the shots-and killed.| The liner first was raked by the Federal guns and then,as she was running out from the city,the rebels from their position near the mouth of the Panuco river,opened fire on her.

We want to remember the German naval:officer—Capt.Von Kohler— who notified the Scaxican authorities at Tampico,when the anti-American riots were in progress,that if they could not stop the rioting “I will see te it personally that it is stopped.” The tone of that message was such that the rioting stopped.Glory to Capt.Von Kohler!It was a serious time for the Americans at Tampico that Tuesday evening and-but for the help of the Germans many of them might have been killed.The nation wants to keep this act in mind and especially to remember Capt,Von Kohler,who saw the seriousness of the situation and had the nerve to act.*. While Superior Court solicitors are denouncing the recorders’courts because,forsooth,the recorders’ courts aforesaid have cut the fees of the solicitors,the Lumberton Rohe- sonian finds that recorders’courts in Robeson county have in nine months saved the county $3,122.42.Continu- ing the Robesonian says: “The ease has been made out for recorders’courts:they save the mon- ey of the taxpayers and cut down the ““gataries-of Solicitors to @ poime weers it is not so profitable {be a district solicitor.Isn’t it the next step to do away with the office of digtrict solic- itor and have county attorneys rep- resent the State in Syperior Court in every county?That would save the counties some more money.” 7 >.as The Landmark has a sneaking no- tion that Elder Jim Hurley of the Salisbury Post is secretly praying for war.The other day when the trouble commenced Elder Hurley re- ‘marked that it was probably the purpose of the Lord to use the Unit- ed States fo straighten out affairs in Mexico.When the offer of media- tion came and with it a prospect of peace,the elder remarked:* “That this war with Mexico may be averted and peace quickly restor- ed is good excuse to throw every pa triotic citizen to his knees in devout} prayer.But when the whole story of Mexico is reviewed and the gloomy prospects for the future visioned ‘it looks like there is nothing else to do than wade in and get at the root of} the disease and cut it out.And no} one doubts “the.meaning.of this—it| would be war and then long occupan-| cy by American arms.But can per- manent and lasting peace be restor- ed in any way than this?If so,may it come speedily.” “Maybe the elder is right.-The Landmark isn’t going to contend about it.But sometimes when we want something to happen we think it’s the Lord’s will it should happen. >*7 The case of the two young North Carolinians—Clyde Clement;and MissPendleton—tried at.Spartanburg for drowning their illegitimate child,is distressing enough without comment,but The Landmark can’t help ex-pressing satisfaction that the man was convicted and the girl freed.

Thomas G,Jones,Federal judge of the middle Alabama district,former Governor of the State and for 650 years a prominent figure in the State,died at his home MontgomerY, Ala.,Tuesday.He was born in Ma con,Ga.,in 1844.He was appointed Federal judge in 1902.by President Roosevelt. At the request of Gov,Ammons of Colorado President Wilson has order- ed Federal troops to that.State to help compose the state of anarchy re- sulting from a strike-of miners,the State troops being unable to control the situation.Gov.Ammons’request wis made some days ago but.response was deferred until the Mexican situa- tion became more quiet. Four miners are known,to be dead 59 were rescued,many of them se- verely burned,and 208 others en- tombed in two burinng mines,with small chance for their lives,as the result of an explosion of gas in mines Nos.5 and 6 of the New River Collieries Company at Eccles;W.Va., Tuesday.The dead and rescued were taken from mine No.6. An investigation by the naval af- fairs committee of the Senate of al- leged manipulation of the coal busi- ness of the Southern States in the interest of the Pennsylvania railroad system and the mines which use that system,is urged by Senator Tillman, chairman of that committee.The charge in brief is that the coal ship- ments are so manipulated that the cost to consumers in the South At- lentic States.,is greatly in excess of what it should be.Orders have been issiied whtisrér- ring the Mexican prisoners held at Fort Bliss,rear El Paso,Texas,to Fort-Wingate,N.M.The War De- partment believed it necessary to move the prisoners further from the Mexican border in view of possible developments.These prisoners are made up of the Mexican Federal ar- my that fled into the United States when pursued by Constitutionalists. They number 4,900,approximately 1,900 being women and children. The United States Supreme Court has decided that where the Federal employers’liability law of 1908 makes railroads absolutely liable if they aré violating a “law”at the time an employe is injured,the word “law”means “Federal”and not “State law.”The-court set dside a judgment of $7,500 rendered by the Supreme Court of North Carolina in favor of James T.Horton,an engin- eer on the Seaboard Air Line.The court also held that a man injured while engaged in switching intra- State cars does not come within the act.$$ STATE NEWS.

The parade took place Saturday.The fact that it was permitted by Huerta was construed as an indication of the weakening of his power.

We want also to remember Admiral Craddock of the British cruiser Her- moine,who sent a detachment 40 miles inland from Tampico to rescue eight Americans,and who informed Admiral Mayo that he (Craddock) would receive American refugees at Tampico and transfer them to Mayo. This course was adopted to prevent as far as possible anti-American dem- onstrations.The British and German naval officers at Tampico of course did no more than Americans would have done for them under similar ¢ir- cumstances,but we should hold them in kind remembranc¢just the same.

On Wednesday morning the gener- al transfer of American’refugees from Tampico was commenced and the American yachts Wakiva and Wild Duck,under foreign colors,} brought the refugees down the river to the American warships.The Wa-kiva took down the American flag and hoisted the English colors,while the.yacht the Wild Duck flew the German flag.Refugees said theAmericanflag“would have surely been fired upon.An English officer was put aboard the Wakiva from the British warship Hermoine to aid in the transfer of refugees.

Greensboro News, To take a 5-inch rifle and calmlyanddeliberatelyshootout,one after another,the windows in a building some miles away,fis a feat of marks- manship such as,we dare say,hasneverbeenperformedintheworld in time of battle until the San Fran- cisco did it the other day at Vera Cruz,The list of dead in the first day’s fighting,-six Americans and 126 Mexicans,when the forces were about equally matched as to num- bers,and the Americans were the at- tacking force,is likewise eloquent of the terrible efficiency of the Yankee when he gets behind a gun.The country is rightly proud—tremen-dously proud—of these records.But to our,mind thé navy has been setting ever since a record that alto- gether overshadows even this one,intheefficiencyofthegovernmentthathasbeensetup.Vera Cruz,the news dispatches say,is literally dumbfound-ed by the conduct,of the conquerors.Vera Cruz is old and wise in wicked- ness.Almost evéry atrocity that themoat~diabolical...ingenuity..could cons.trive’has,been”perpetrated in’-her’streets by some one of the many in- vaders who have brought her to sub- jection.But the “gringoes”were new to this generation,and a brand-new twist to the old story was confi-dently expected,Vera Cruz couldnotprophesywhatshewastosuf- fer at the hands of the strange in- vader,but she could guess and fear.She was prepdred for absolutely any- thing except what she got—namely, enlightenéd civilization.No prison-ers murdered,no women outraged, no property destroyed,not even a jail-bird .released and pressed into the American army;Vera Cruz is stupefied.

VYOLXL THE MEDIATORS ASK FOR HELP -The United States and the’Mexican Factions Asked to Name Represeh-tatives For a Conf ‘arran- za Will Not Agree te a Cessation of Hostilities. The three.South American envoyswhohaveundertakenthetaskofpaci-fying Mexico.by diplomacy SaturdayrequestedtheUnitedStates,GeneralHuerta,and General Carranza,to ap-point representatives to confer with them in Washington.Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil,and.MinistersNaonandSuarezofArgentinaandChile,respectively,called on Secre-tary Bryan and asked him to desig-te the American representative.At the same time they telegraphed theirréqueststotheheadofthegovern- ment in Mexico City as well as theConstitutionalistchief. No announcement of the subjects to be considered by representatives of the three parties to the mediation,or of the powers or functions of the new envoys,was made.The proposal ‘to bring together specially designated representatives was the result of an all-day session of the South Amcriean made to them from various quarters that much time would be saved and the problem of exchanging views sim- plified by such a process. While it is realized that represen-tatives of all parties probably will not be given authority finally to pass on points brought up in the diggussion with the mediators,they could sound out their superiors so that before for- mal proposals actually were made, the mediators would have an idea of their probable reception. Thus far responses from General liverta and General Carranza have not been clear as to whether the dif- between the United States and Mexico arising out of the Tam- pice incident alone would be consid- ered by them,or whether they would consent to a genera!discussion of the Mexican problem.By sending repre- sentatives to Washington,it is point- ed out,such difficultics would be brid- ged over,for in an informal confer- ence with the mediators_everything pertaining to Mexico could be dis- cussed and even informally submitted, before the ‘stage of formal proposals was reached. Incidentally,it is known’that the mediators intend to concentrate their attention on the broad subjeet of paci- fying Mexico,hoping that differences between the Huerta government and the United States might become sec- ondary in view of the solution of the entire Mexican problem.Names of persons who might be acceptable to all factions in Mexico for the position of provisiona)President pending a re- habilitating of the national govern- ment,in case the negotiations reach that stage,are being suggested to the mediators. When the delegates arrive in Wash- ington,if the arrangement is agreed to by the Mexican factions,it is ex-pected the mediators willbe ready to take up the crucial issues between the United States and Huerta,at least,and if possible between Hucrta and.Carranza._Whether a plan ofadjustmentcanbeworkedoutisstill an open question,even in the minds of the mediators.They expect the’del- evates from the three parties to as- sist them to get together on some middle ground.The mediators will continue to be the main body formu-lating a plan of settlement,as the delegates from the three parties will have ‘no plenipotentiary powers and will act merely as advisers:; Carranza Won't Stop Fighting.Carranza,the Constitutionalist chief,has emphatically’refased to agree to a cessation of hostilities with the Huertistas,pending media- tion proceedings,and.this may.pre-vent any mediation of the differences between the Mexican-factions.CloseassociatesofCarranzawhohavear- rived in Washington say that nomediationbetweenthemandHuerta is possible and that any move on the part of the three mediators to include in their progress a scheme for the general adjustment of Mexican af- fairs will be regarded as being out- side the scope of their labors...Mean- time the Constitutionalists proposeto.foree the.fighting.against Huerta.With this condition of affairs any satisfactory ‘solution of the Mexican troubles seems improbable. Constitutionalists Not in It. ‘The Constitutionalists were yester- day eliminated from the mediation proceedings.In a telegram to Gen-eral Carranza ‘tho mediators announc- ed that,in view of his refusal to agreetoanarmisticewithGeneralHuerta,they withdrew their invitation to him. to send a personal representative to ferences participate in the mediation pro- ceedings.The Constitutionalists at Tampico have notified Admiral Mayo that American warships must not onter Panuco river.The harbor at Tampi- co has been mined.

Broad street was ordered paved from Meeting street to the college property.Either tarvia or some pav- ing material of similar character will be used.It is possible that Mulber- ry street will also be paved from Walnut street to West End avenue, but no action as to this was taken by the board. The sale of property for taxes was ordered deferred until June 8th. The bridges over the Southern rail- way tracks on the Boulevard are in need of repairsandthe city has been negotiating with the railroad officials about the matter.The aldermen de-cided to require the railroad to put in steel bridges.that will be perma- nent.Further repairs on.the old bridges will not be accepted by the city.It is believed that the railroad will agree to the demands of the city and build steel bridges.

If the newspapers of the ninth dis- trict are getting space rates for allthestufftheyare~printing «for the congressional candidates,it is pros- perous times for the ninth district eilitors.‘ Leite May 5,1914, is The nomination of RepresentativeHenryD.Clayton of Alabama to beFederaljudgetakesfromtheHouseofRepresentativesthe‘chaipman of the judiciary committee and one of the leading men of the House.Mr. Clayton's.retirenient will elevate’tothechairmanshipofthecommitteeRepresentative’Webb of North Caro- lina,which will not only give North Carolina a commanding pédsition intheHousebutwillbeamaterialhelp to Mr.Webb,who is in the midst of fight for renomination. .** Many people who have heard of the Monroe doctrine all their livés prob- ably never read the text of the docu- ment that bears that name.Here it is: “The American continents,by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain,are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by _any Eurepean..power,—- “We owe-it,therefore;to candor and to the amicable rélations cxist- ing between the United States and those powers,to ‘declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dang- erous to our peace and safety. “With the existing colonies or de- pendencies of any European powerwehavenotinterferedandshall not interfere.But with the govern- ments who.have declared their in- dependence.and maintain it,and whose independence we have,on great consideration and on just prin- ciples,acknowledged,we could not view any interposition for the,pur-pose of oppressing them or controll- ing in any other manner their des- tiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifesta- tion of an unfriendly disposition to- ward the United States.” This simply means that the United States,believing it necessary for its own peace and comfort,decided in the early days of the republic that no European government should be allowed to enter into and possess or in -anywise contro]any part of theAmericancontinent.That is why we have to look after the affairs of the Central and South American coun- tries when they get into trouble.It’s a lot of bother,but our statesmen have always believed that we cannot,for our own safety,allow anybodyélsetodoit. Remarking on the suspension of Webster’s Weekly of Reidsville,theReidsvilleReviewsays:“‘We do not believe it would be Overstating the case to say that Edi- tor Cayton has enough money due him on back subscriptions\to pay the running expenses of the Weekly for a whole year.” Another instance—one of thousands —bof the unwisdom of a newspaper,or any other business for that matter,doing a promiscuous credit business. The country newspapers of this State, speaking generally,show littleif any progress in business methods.Most of them go on sending their papers on credit to anybody who wil)take them out of the office.Some of them will boast of a big circulation ander these methods while at the same time they load their columus with whinesaboutthesubscribersnotpayingthe “poor editor.”This method*cheap- ens the paper and adds to its difficulty in securing a sufficient revenue.Most of the weeklies and semi-weeklies of the Stafe sell for a subscription price that does not pay cost of publication if they meet their own bills;and they add to this the cost of collection under 4 promiscuous credit system and the heavy loss from the deadbeats.When- ever newspapers learn that the onlythingtodoistomakethebestpaper possible,ask a fair price for it—a|price that will allow a profit—and} then get the money,the public will have more respect for them,they wil] have more respect for themselves and Will be in better position to offer the advice to other folks about the con- duct of their affairs that so many of thém ‘are“so"ready"to-offer.“The-cash in advahce system for subscriptions is probably best,but the credit system is so prevalent in,this country that the strictly cash system is dif- ficult to maintain.But every news-paper should at least be conductedlikeanyotherup«to-date business—itshouldextendcreditverycarefullyandonlywhenitfeelssuretheriskisgood.Enough will be lost eventhen.But the eustom—how it everstartedwedon’t know—of sendingpaperstoanybodywhowilltakethemandtokeeponsendingem,andthenwhiningaboutthefolkswho Won't pay—away with that.It haslastedtoolong.

TUESDAY,_---May 5,1914, PROSPECT NOT BRIGHT. One could wish that the prospect for adjusting al]the Mexican trou- bles by mediation were brighter. Huerta has agreed readily enough to ‘all the propositions so’far made, which is natural,considering his cir- cumstances;and the prospect for composing the differences between the United States and Huerta seem bright enough.But with the pros- pect for overcoming Huerta so flatter- ing,the Constitutionalists have no mind to submit anything to arbitra- tion.They have refused to cease hos- tilities pending attempts to confer about an adjustment of differences. Villa and Carranza have the control of the Mexican government in sight and they fear that arbitration might deprive them of what they hope to gain. ~-Adf-the.Mexican.factional war is al-| lowed to go on and the Constitutional- ists win,The Landmark can see lit- tle prospect of more satisfactory con- ditions in Mexico.The Villa-Carran- za crowd is little if any better than those they seek to overthrow and their domination of Mexico would not assure peace nor good govern- ment;and they would not agree to stand aside and let some one in whom the public had confidence be chosen. Therefore,the prospect for anything but interminable warfare in Mexico is very gloomy;and it follows that if peace can be attained in no other way the United States will eventually be compelled to take charge.The Land- mark devoutly hopes that this neces- sity may be avoided but it can see lit- tle just now on which to base hope. Some of the refugees from Mexico are making exhibitions of selfishness and ingratitude that will not create sympathy for them among sensible people.Americans in Mexico knew the conditions in that country and knew the danger in staying there. But,disregarding the President's warning,given months ago,to get out of Mexico,they)stayed on,for selfish reasons of course.Recent in- cidents have resulted in the imprison- ment and maltreatment of some of them.The government has spared neither pains nor expense to rescue them and bring them to the United States.Hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money is being spent for that purpose.Now because the government hasn’t sent an army into Mexico to guard the persons and business of these people,who were in Mexico for what they could make out of it,the refugees are passing resolu- tions denouncing the government that has saved them.It is the business of the government,generally speaking,to protect its ‘citizens in every land; but it is not the business of the gov- ernment to send a guard along with avery adventurer who goes into a foreign land on the make.Some of the refugees are trying to show that they were not worth the effort to rescue them. It is to be hoped that the promoters of the creamery will keep in mind first and foremost the spirit of friendly co-operation.Statesville people and the people of this section of thecountywouldofcourseprefertohave-the creamery located in States- ville.But with the section adjacent to Mooresville furnishing the larger portion of the supply of cream need- ed to operate the creamery,Moores- ville has,in this respect at least,the stronger claim.If the creamery is_located at Mooresville,as seems prob- able,the people of this end of thecountyshouldgive~it loyal support, and those who attended the meeting in Statesville Saturday agreed to dothis.It will be an Iredell creamery, no matter where it is located,andIredellpeopleshouldbebigenoughandbroadenoughtostandbytheir home enterprises.It would be pueriletodobusinesswithsomeothercounty when we could,by patronizing heme institutions,be building up our own county.ene As near as we can make out,Elder Jim Huriey of the Salisbury Post ad mits that while he is praying for peace he will be disappointed if hisprayersareanswered,and in the in terval he is getting ready for warerento Hundreds of Confederate vetera; are en route to Jdcksonville,Fla.,orhavearrivedthere,for the reunion of mother,Mrs|clveteransandsonsofveterans)whic meeting will be held this eveningFloodsaredamagingproperty i;the vicinity of Geary,Okla.,and liv,have becn endangered: .son O'Shaughnessy,who was in, charge of the United States embassy in Mexico for six or eight months, and who was invited to leave when the “United States seized Very Cruz on the 2ist.of April,is expected to arrive in Washington this week. Looking after the affairs of our gov- ernment in Mexico at a critica)period, Mr.O’Shaughnessy seems to have acquitted himself with credit to him- self and the country.There havebeenreportsthathewastoofriendlywithHuerta,but the evidence to sus-tain this charge has not appeared. O’Shaughnessy,it will ‘be recalled, took charge of the embassy when Henry Lane Wilson,the Republican ambassador,was recalled by Presi- dent Wilson because he was ah avow- ed partisan of the Huerta crowd. STATE NEWS.’ At Waynesville Sunday Paul Love, member of a prominent family of Haywood county,committed suicide by shooting. The Elkin Times says Mrs.Eliza- beth Carlton,who lived near Marler, Yadkin county,died a few days ago at the age of 100 years. With nine buckshot in the back of his head,Oscar Saunders,a negro, was found dead in the woods in Crav- en county.Supposed to have been murdered. The season for fish stories is on. Report comes .from New Berne,un- accompanied by an affidavit,that a sturgeon weighing 400 pounds.and more than 12 feet long was caughtintherivernearthereafewdoys ago. In Greensboro last week Wilbert Loftin,a 17-year-old negro boy,was shot to-death by Ship Watkins,also colored,aged about 21.Watkins*was exhibiting the pistol and boasting of his prowess when the shooting oc- curred. S.M.Pollard,who killed Police- man Smith at Farmville,Pitt county, some months ago,was convicted of manslaughter in Pitt Superior Court and sentenced to five years in the State prison.The case was appealed and defendant released on bond. John Ross,colored,who was con- victed in 1912 of the murder of.Mr. and Mrs.John Dixon in Cleveland county,and whose sentence was com- muted to life imprisonment,escaped a few days ago from a gang of State convicts at work at Whitney.The murder of Mr.and Mrs.Dixon was a brutal crime.Ross confessed but his sentence was commuted because it was the general opinion that he was an accessory rather than the principal in the crime. With the first report of the engage-| ment at Vera Cruz came the report! that a North Carolinian—Platt Smith of Bessemer City—was among the Americans wounded.As Smith’s name didn’t appear in the official list The Landmark questioned the report, and it is learned from the .Gastonia SeeTHE PUBLIC BUILDING GRAFT.

We believe everybody in tHe coun- try who has ever ridden in a Pull- man will cry “Hurrah!”and “Good for-you!”on reading the report of the State railroad commission California with regard to the inade- -quate porter service and compulsory| tip system on the cars of that cor- poration.The commission “roasts” the company most justly for the in- attention of its employes and the in-| adequacy of the wages paid them, thus conipelling them to look to the traveling public for their”principal income.It may be all right,says} the commission,“for persons to re-| ward particularly good service with! some gratuity,but the Pullman Com- pany forces its patrons tobe gener- ous or not get service.”This impo- sition is not confined to California,! but “the disreputable.practice to which the company stoops”prevails everywhere.It is part of the Pull-| man system of forcing travelers to| pay the wages of its employes. of| Se -- \Temper Affects the Heart—Acute |Strain Measured By .Tons.}t London Chronicle. “To keep your temper is rather a |good idea,”said Dr.Strickland Good- lall-in a lecture at the Institute of Hygiene.Every time the heart con- |tracts,he said,its force would raise|a weight of two pounds to the height Lof one foot,and it does this from 70te140timeseveryminute.

Two Reasons For Rotation. cor From the standpoint of the er ehe people of Iredell county be- lieve in rotation in office.How do we know they believe in it?Because they have applied this rule for thepastmanyyears,and they have near- ly always enforced it against the wishes of the officeholder and the pol- itician.They believe in it because itisfortheeconomicinterestsofthecounty,They believe in it because it is best for the party.They believe in it because they believe in fair play, and in giving other aspirants a chance to -secure political honors. They believe in it because it is Dem- ocratic.x Second.From the standpoint of the officeholder: The people believe in rotation be- eause'they know it is best for the of- ficeholder himself,but you can sel- dom.get him to see it in that light. They believe in it this time in partie- ular,because the present officer'spleadthisestablishedcustominse-curmg their first nominations.They believe in it because the present of- ficers pledged that they,if nominat- ed two years ago,would not offer again ' will greed carry a person.Theyhavepubliclyannouncedinsubstancethattheirword.is not their bond;that there is no obligation for a per-gon to live up to his promises;that the customs and.traditions of the Democratic party damned.In’ordinary business affairs,if asonobtainssomethingofvalue under false representations,he is amenable .to:the law.How about makingtheemoluments of an office,and hav- ing thus secured them,‘forthwith.go and humiliate his former supporters by breaking his pledge?0,hay- ing been greatly honored by the peo- ple,will so dishonor them?

Allen Turner,Employe of the IredellTelephoneCompany,Badly Burn- ed By Coming Contact.With AnElectrieWire.: Mr.Allen Turner,an employe oftheIredellTelephoneCompany,was the victim in Statesville’s first livewireaccident.Young.Turner came in contact with a heavily .charged electric wire Saturday morning about 10 o'clock,while:at work on a pole at the corner of Tradd and Waterstreets;and received serious injuries.His left hand and both feet wereséverelyburnedanditisprobable that.he will lose the.ends of three fingers of the hand.That he was notinstantlykilledbytheshockiscon- sidered remarkable. Mr.Turner,:‘who was “trouble man” for the telephone company,was trac- ing a line which was out of order and had climbed a pole at the corner of Tradd and .Water streets which is used jointly by the city electric light department and the telephone com- pany.He was seated on the tele-phone “can”on the pole,réaching up through the electric wires tracing a telephone—tine-along the pole,when his left hand,which was gloved,came in contact with an electric wire at a point where the insulation was not good.Unfortunately Turner’s foot was against the ground wire on the pole at the time he touched the elec- tric wire and the 2,300 volts of elec- tricity carried by the wire was “grounded”through his body.The ends of his fingers which came in con- tact with the wire were of course burned to a crisp instantly and the weight of his body pulled the hand loose from the wire as he lost con- sciousness and fell over against-the pole.The fact that he fell against the pole and his sweater sleeve caught on a spike on the pole is all that sav- ed Mr.Turner from falling to the ground,a distance of probably 25feet. Mr.J.E.Wilson,who conducts a store at the corner of Tradd and Water streets,saw Mf.Turner when he fell against the pole after receiving ~the shock,but didnotreatize-at-tirstt glance that he had been hurt.Closer examination convinced Mr.Wilson that something was wrong and he telephoned the central telephone of- fice,-n block away.Manager W.M. Barringer and Wire Chief Freel ran to Mt.Turner’s rescue promptly.When they saw the situation Mr.Freel rushed into Mr.Wilson’s store to fotify the electric sub-station by "phone to cut off the power,and Mr. Barringer secured the driving lines from the harness of a horse and bug- gy which chanced to be passing,and climbing the pole at the risk of his own life tied Turner to the pole so that he would not fall.By the time Mr.Freel got the power cut off Mr. Thos.Patterson,a telephone lineman, and others had arrived and Mr.Pat- terson climbed the pole and placed ropes about Turner’s body.so that he could be lowered to the ground.Physi- cians had been called and when Tur-ner was lowered from the pole he was immediately placed in an automobileandtakentotheSanatorium.—He re- gained .consciousness soon afterreaching#H®Sanatotium and an ex- amination made after he had partially recovered from the shock revealedthathewasnot,so badly injured aswasfirstexpected.

But None Has Been Borrowed—Coun-ty Commissioners Passed Order atFebruaryMeetingtoBorrowNotExceeding$40,000 to Pay -For Bridges—-Money Not Borrowed—How the Order Escaped Publicity. Last Saturday The Landmark was informed that the county commission- ers had some time ago passed an or- der to borrow $40,000 for the road fund.This was news to The Land- mark and wil)be news to the people generally,The.book containing the proceedings of the commigsioners isbroughtto.The Landmark office aftereachmeetingandeveryitemthereoncopiedandpublished.No such orderasthatmentionedwasonthebookat| any time The Landmark copied the proceedings.An examination of the) minutes of the February meeting | shows,however,that the following| order,typewritten,was pasted on at the end of the written minutes of that meeting: “Resolved -by the board of county commissioners of Iredell county,thatthebuilding-of bridges across the streams of Tredell -county;-in -connec>tion with the construction of the pub- lic highways,is a public necessity and essential to the permanent improve- ment of the public highway system ofthecounty; “And that whereas,there is insuf- ficient money in the treasury of the county to the credit of the general or road fund to pay for the bridges aforesaid,already built,and to be hereafter built, “Therefore be it further resolved, That the chairman of the board of the obligations of the county ~for signed by the chairman of the board of contmissioners and countersigned || by the register of deeds,clerk of said|, board,with his seal of office attach- edthereto.— “The obligations for money borrow-ed to be in the.form of notes in anyamountandmadedueandpayable two,four,six,eight and ten years, bearing interest from date of issue at 6 per cent annum,and the inter-est to be due and payable semi-an- nually on the first days of Apri}and October of each and every year.That the aggregate amount to be borrowed by virtue of this resolution is limited to forty thousand dollars. “Resolved,that the interest on said}; bends or notes be paid out of the general funds of the county,not oth- erwise appropriated,upon the order of the board.” This order was not put on the book until about three weeks ago,and be- ing then put on with the February proceedings,where it of course be- longed,accounts for the failure of The Landmark to see it.Register of Deeds Boyd,who is clerk to the board ary meeting. order was agreed on by the board and its attorney,Mr,L.C.Caldwell,and the order formally passed by the board with the understanding that Mr.Caldwell would have it typewrit- ten in full fdr the minutes.When the board met in March and the minutes were read some one called attention to the fact that this order did not appear in the minutes,Mr.Caldwell not having returned it.Chairman Feimster remarked.that’it made no difference,as he had seen the States- ville banks and fotnd that it would be impossible to borrow the money.

It was a struggle,a desperate strug- gle,for bread in a land devastated and demoralized by war.The awful suffering of the women and children is a part—and a great part—of the things that make war hell.This sto- ry which the Monroe paper relates so graphically could -be-reproduced in almost neighborhood,as many living witnesses can testify.It is printed for the information of’the younger people;that they may have some idea of what their mothers and grandmothers suffered;that their re- spect for these noble women who yet live and for the memories of those every who are dead,may be increased;and that it may impress upon them the terrible consequences of war. 7 ..

A Washington dispatch in yester- day’s Charlotte Observer says that the janitorship of the Statesville Feder- al building,which has been hanging fire for several months,has been set- tled in favor of F.F.Chambers,the cologed janitor who was ousted by Collector Watts,custodian,for con- ducting a tailoring establishment in the building,and that Chambers must be reinstated.Up to last évening Collector Watts had received no in- formation about the matter and it is hardly probable that Chambers will be reinstated—just yet. The Washington correspondent says:“An inspector went to States- ville and quietly surveyed the field and made a report favorable to Cham- bers.One of the three civil service commissioners,a Southerner,report- gro could not be dismissed.” When Chambers was removed Capt. W.-H.H.Gregory was appointed to the position until a civil service ex- amination could be held.Capt.Greg- ory has received no pay,the salary of the janitor being held up until the matter is settled, Social Events.

Writers a Financial Failure,Says Mr.Page. London Dispatch to New York.Sun, At the annual banquet tonight of the Royal Literary Fund for the Re- lief of Necessitous Authors Walter Hines Page,the-American ambassa- dor,proposed a toast to the prosper- ity of the fund.He said he had beentartledtolearnthenamesofsome f those who had received assistance from the fund. “These,”said Mir.Page,“include a lozen persons of our own time whom I would never have guessed needed help and to whom:we are all more heavily indebted than any sum of money could pay.” The names of the recipients of this assistance are never published and are divulged only to a very few oftheofficialsoftheRoyalLiterary |Fund. Referring to a literary career,Mr. |Page said: “From the viewpoint of mere barnyard gumption it is absurd foranybodytostarttospendhislife writing.Gambling is more likely to yield a steady income:It is an ab- surd career and a foolish,foolhardybusiness.No man has’‘a right to take it up who ¢an avoid doing so.” COUGH TWO YEARS OLD Yields to Vinol.Read Why. Strong vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold;it’s only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foot- hold. Now isn’t it reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up.your.run down.condition again? Mrs.D.A.McGee of Waycross,Ga., says:“I had a chronic cold and cough which kept me awake nights for two years and I felt tired all the time. Vinol cured my cough and I feel etronger In every way.” The reason Vinol is so efficacious in such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of eod liver oil,with tonic,blood build- ing tron added. Chronic coughs and colds yield to Vinol because it builds up the weak- ened,run-down system. You can get your money back any time if Vinol does not do all we say.

Cashier, VOL.XL 4— ¥7 ANTETTTTAASe NEGOTIATING FOR THE LOAN, The County May Secure the Loan of _$4000 From AnOhbio Bank. In mentioning the proposed loan of $40,000,ah order for which was made by the county commissioners gt.the February meeting,The Landmark stated in its last issue that the money had not been borrowed.That is true but that statement may leave the im- pression that the purpose to secure the loan had been abandoned.This is not the case,as The Landmark has learned on further investigation. Negotiations have been in progress and are yet pending to obtain this vlean from the First National Bank of Ae Cleveland,Ohio.When inquiry was Peta ‘made of the bank it readily agreed to make the loan if the authority of the commissioners to borrow the money was established.An attorney was i employed to make up the record of :the proceedings of the commissioners and give a legal opinion.The record was made up-—-at which time the missi order made,at the February meeting ‘was found and placed on the 3 record-—and the .commissioners ad- =yjsed that they had-authority—to bor- *row the money.The papers are now with the Cleveland bank,for an opinion by the attorneys of the bank. The Cleveland bank is anxious to make the loan.The notes for the proposed loan are to bear 6 per cent interest and 6 per cent paper 15 @ good investment.Usually county and municipal loans are obtained for less than 6 per cent.

Men Who Lost Their Lives at VeraCruzPaidHighHonorsinNew York. New:York Dispatch,11th. New York joined the nation todayjnmemorializing,with simple dignity,the heroism of the 19 bluejackets and: marines who gave their lives at Vera Cruz.As*the most impressive funeral pageant since the Spanish war-start-ed from the Battery to the Brooklynnavyyard,it was as if the wholepopulationofthecitywasthere. In the line of mourners that follow-| ed the artillery caissons bearing thedeadwerethechiefsofStateandcity government and many more distin- guished men of nearly every.calling;but-every eye in the throng that.linedtheway,turned to the carriage where President Wilson rode close.behind the last funeral car.The President eame from Washington during.thenightandstoodasthemarinesfiredtheirpartingvolleysattheBrooklyn navy yard,and the navy buglersounded“taps,”that proclaimed the end of the ceremony.: On the stand with the President at the navy yard were relatives of thedeadsailorsandmarines,mothers, sisters and wives,but in all the throng of mourners none seemed more deeply touched by the spirit of the day than the man whose word sent the lads of the navy to fight for their country’s honor at Vera Cruz. And to the President was left theprivilegeofvoicingthenation’s.griefwidtheVation’s belief that thosewhodiedintheperformanceofdutyhad done for ‘their country a service not to be measured by their individual deeds.a “The feeling that is uppermost,”he said’“is one of profound pride that they should have gone..as-they did,and if I may say it out of niy heart,a touch of envy of those who were permitted so quietly,so nobly, to do their duty.” The head of the nation looked out over the thousands massed about the coffins on the parade ground and his voice shook with emotion as he de- clared his creed. “We have gone down to Mexico,” he said,“to serve mankind if we can fina a way.We do not want to fight the Mexicans,we want to serve theMexicans. There was a wistful note in his voice as he added:“I never was un- der fire but I fancy there are somethingsjustashardtodoastogoun- der fire.I fancy it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you..When they shoot at you,they can only teke your life;when they sneer at you,they can wound your heart.” From a.bird’s eye -view,the multi- tude along the route of the funeral)’ cortege presented the picture of avasthumanstreamconnectingtwo arms of the sea.Muffied voices,soft spoken commands by military offi- cers,the melancholy tolling of theTrinitychurchbell,emphasized a hush that had fallen over a city of noise x,The dead were landed by the tugs Traflic und Correction early in the morning and lay in state in the Bat- tery park plaza for more.than anhourbeforetheprocessionstarted.}There were 17 coffins.The other two victims of Mexican snipers died after they had left Vera Cruz with the dead.The police escort headed the cortege,and-was followed by the na- val battalions from the Wyoming,and Texas.Then came the 17 gun cais- sons carrying the:dead. Each caisson was drawn by four horses,astride two of which rode members of the first and second regi- merits of the field artillery.There was in addition one mounted police escort for each caisson.Four sailors on each side acted as_pall-bearers. These men,tanned from recent serv- ice in Vera Cruz,had been called to New York especially for the service in memory of their dead comrades. Ditectly behind the caisson,whichstretchedouttheirsinglefile,were the carriages of the President,Gov- ernor Glynn,Secretary Daniels,May- or Mitchel and other distinguished guests..The presence of the Presi- dent in the procession came as a sur- prise,for it had been announced that he would proceed direct from thePennsylvaniastationtothe—navy yard.. All along the route the street was black ©with spectators.Windows and roifs,half completed steel frames and roofs,half completed steel frames of buildings,all were crowded.There were thousands of policemen ;one ey- ery ten feet held the crowd back on the sidewalk.During the entire cere-mony there was not a suggestion of disorder.As the procession entered City Hall place,the voices of 500 chil- dren rose to meet them.The childrensang“Nearer,My God,to Thee,” Mayor Mitchel briefly eulogized thedeadandlaidupononeofthecais- sons a wreath of flowers,symbolic of the city’s respect.After this brief halt the cortege resumed its measur- ed progress to Manhattan bridge and over this to the navy yard.The quiet restraint that had characterized the crowds in the streets gave way as the procession proceeded to the Eastside and Brooklyn to storms of applause. Here it.seemed that the.presence of the President eclipsed the grief of the occasion. In the naval parade ground the demonstration found a small physi- |onl compass,Less than 10,000 were lable to pack themselves:into the en- lelosure and face the stand wherestoodthePresidentwithbaredhead. Mayor Mitchel was at his right andSecretaryDanielsofthenavyathis left.With sharp precision the blucjack- “Tl have used Chamberlain's Tablets off and on*for the past six years whenever my liver ‘shows signs of being in’a disordered condition.They have always acted quicklyandaivenmethedesiredrelief,” bets,thein.white-hats-cmt Mrs.F.H.Tribus,Springville,N.Y. sale by all dealers. sunlight,drew up into tary for-mation before the stand:At thesametimethe17caissons,drapedwithflagsandbankedwith:flowerscontributedbythesailorcomradesofthedead,were laid dire¢tly in frontofthestand.A moment later thecrowdwas-permitted to enter and im- mediately it covered the entire’field,The band of.the battleship Texas played softly,“Nearer,My.God,ta,Thee,”and the naval°chaplain,Cas-sard,began his invocation.In refer- ring to the dead heroes he prayed it would not be necessary to make a fur- ther sacrifice on the altar of patriot- 1sm.Secretary Daniels then turned.to}. the President and read the names of the 19 men in whose honor the funer-al was held and delivered a brief eulogy,.which was followed by the address of the President, After the public services the bod- ies of the dead men were sent.to their various homes for interment.

Mr.Turner failed to note a later partial settlement for 1909,mage last November,which reduces the amount apparently due for that year from $9,189.48 to $4,639.67,and the total amount apparently due for the years 1909,1910,1911 and 1912 from, $54,234.48 to $49,684.67,as shown bythelastpartialsettlementmadelastNovember.Since which time I’have the county treasurer’s receipts for $23,757.50 of this amount,leaving $25,927.17 apparently due for the four years. I say “apparently due”for the reason that errors,insolvents and the balance of my commissions,which will average at least $4,000 a year, amounting to at least $16,000 for the four years,are to be deducted,leav-| ing $9,927.17 as the amount really due,instead of $54,234.48,as Mr. Turner has it, As to the 1913 taxes,I have paid to the county treasurer and have his I will be able He is making and im-|to make a satisfactory partial dettle- ment at the usual time next fal for this year.

Mr.Garth first presented the good traits of Martha.To begitt with she was a very hospitable woman,as shown by the manner in which she en- tertained Christ at a time when He was unpopular and despite the factthatshewascumberedwithmuchservice.This grace of hospitality iswellworthcultivation,for we arecommandedtobehospitable.Marthawasalsoindustrious,energetic and active,always at work,was aggres- sive and managed well,all of whichiscommendable.She was also im-pulsive..We love a person who doesnottrytoconcealherfaults,but weshould.be guarded in what we say.It is worsé to speak evil than it is to will be renominated without.opposition,4 uf ~ simply think i a great b Gansinned.

Taking note of the fact that some of the newspapers are making light of the delay in putting the Cade on the rket,the Record says: FT aan and brethren,one Mr. Mergenthaler is said to have been over ten years perfecting the lino- type.-They made fun of him,but he made-good;then died. Mr.Cade may not be delighted by the inference that he is to die when his machine makes good;but here’s hoping he will see it make good. The Lumberton Robesonian agrees with The Landmark that wearing mourning shouldbe abolished.Copy- ing what The Landmark had to say on the subject,the Robesonian re- marks:> “That is nothing more than good hard sense,as the Robesonian sees it.If one has ‘that within that pass- eth show,these but the trappings and the suits of woe,’there is nothing amiss in wearing mourning,but when it is worn simply to comply with the custom it is.rather contemptible sham.The lady who remarked that she was crazy to go to receptions and things but could not because she was in mourning and that she was going to give a big reception as soon as she ‘came out,’was never in mourning and wearing the habiliments if woe was mockery and sham that fooled nobody but herself;It is a senseless custom and we heartily second The Landmark’s motion to-away with it.” Lee’PS *s.Me pe a Tar EE The whole time-health officer would be worth thousands of dollars to Row- an county.We are living in a day of prevention.We are gaining time by correcting the cause of disease and protecting ourselves against disease, as mnuch-as curing the disease already in swing with us.After all our great- est problem is one of education.We must study and we must follow those who have studied and discovered.It is better to kill the germ than to fight the disease.If we remove the cause we will not have the disease to cure. It will be better,safer,and a great deal cheaper to abolish typhoid fever than to die of it—Salisbury Post. These remarks and more of the same kind will apply to Iredell.Thiscountyneedsawhole-time health of- ficer and if the citizenship of the county is to live up to their reputa- tion and do their duty by themselves, the whole-time health officer will soon be provided. 7 -* It seems to The Landmark that too little attention has been paid to the fact that two guards,employed by the State to guard convicts,resisted lawful authority in Stanly county a few days ago and killed an officer of the law.According to the published information,those guards,Cox and Cole,were suspected of selling liquor. Their conduct was suspicious.When m officer of the law questioned them they resented his questions and when “pe started to examine the baggage of one of them they attacked himandhewaskilled.It is reported that Cox,who escaped,had a bad record. Guards employed to guard prisoners should be men of character,men who would uphold the law instead of vio- lating it and men who would come to the aid of officers of the law instead of resisting them.It may not be possi- ble to secure for such work men of the highest moral character,but pains should at least be taken to see that convict guards are not law- breakers themselves or men who are willing to violate the law.The re- sponsibility for employing men of the type of Cox and Cole is a serious matter and whoever is responsible for them should be held to account. *o * Mr.Chas.W.Tillett of Charlotte generally says somcthing practical and worth while when he talks.In his address to the Bankers’Associa- tion in Raleigh,an extract from which is printed in The Landmark to- day,Mr.Tillett pleaded for a revival of -old-fashioned every-day honcsty. His criticism of the ‘preachers,that so few sermons are heard against common dishonesty,is just.Men who are notorious for not paying their debts are often found in high places in the Church.The preachers are slow to denounce this and other forms of dishonesty so prevalent,probably because it effects so many of their people,and some of the preachers themselves are not careful in the mat- ter of debt-paying.In an address at Trinity College a few years ago,Mr Tillett talked along similar lines and cited one specific case.He said a representative of a big corporation, living in Charlotte,an officer in a prominent Church,had said to him that his corporation had secured a franchise in a town but had to bribe some of the ‘aldermgn to secure it. This Church officer expressed regret that the bribery was necessary but said that conditions wer@ such he found it necessary.Then this piousChurchofficerdoubtlesspattedhim- self on the back while he thankedGodthathewasnotasothermen the bribe-taking aldermen,for in stance.It did not seem to occur to him that the bribe-viver was as the bribe-taker The Landmark auggests that Mr.Tillett drop his law business for a season and that the Methodist Church license sort_of general evangelist,so that he can go up afidtown+theState preach ing,honesty—old-fashioned,everydaycommonhonestHewouldren der a great servi 7 as bad s * The Landmark ha on the great waste of n printing authorized by Co sorts of documents a are of no value and a is in packing the Con;il ord with all sorts of things tt het a part of the procec:f gress and that have-no busine *he Record.It is not at : eh ~BUFFALO.N mon for a Senator,especially,to ask that some article or pamphlet whichstrikeshisfancybeprintedatgov- ernment expense and it is done,The cost of this sort of thing was brought to light last week when a special edi- tion of the Congressional Record,368 pages,was issued,containing infor- mation Senator LaFollette of Wis- consin desired.published on the ques- tion of railroad rates.The special edition was devoted to communica- tions on the railroad freight rate question inserted as “remarks”by the Wisconsin Senator.The latter had frequently charged that an at- tempt was being made,by newspaper publications and otherwise,to influ- ence the Inter-State Commerce Com- mission and mislead the public as to the railroad rates;and he.doubtless’ felt that.heo-waa-detag a public ser- vice in getting this information be- fore the public through the Congres- sional Record.But there is no end to this sort of thing and the privilege of inserting’articles in the Record =is grossly abused.It was stated that this extra edition of the Record cost $13,760.This seems unreasonable, but it was stated by a member of the committee on printing,who said further: “If each of the 531 Senators,dnd members of Congress were to pad the Congressional Record like that —it would cost the country $7,307,011, and to this safely could be added several more thousand dollars as the cost of the wrapping and franking| necessary to get this publication to} the reading public—in all a colossal expense.”: Demand Made on Huerta For Infor- mation About Private Parks. Washington Dispatch,15th. The United States today demanded of the Huerta government news of the fate of Private Samuel Parks.the American infantryman who strayed inte Mexican-—lines-near Vera Cruz, declaring that unless information about him was given immediately the! American government would consider that “an unfriendly and hostile act” had been committed in violation of the understanding for a cessation of hostilities.pending mediation. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan drafted a strong communica- tion,after receiving word from the Brazilian minister in Mexico City that Parks had been “executed.”No men- tion was made in the minister’s re- pert of whether he -was'shot as aj spy after a court-martial or whether his body was burned,as has been re- ported persistently to General Funs- ton.The American government cabled the Brazilian minister to inform the} Huerta government of the strong feeling of the United States in the matter,directing him to make vigor- ous representations concerning.the incident.The note asked the minister to protest to the Huerta government that if Parks were alive,the failure to explain his whereabouts was initselfanunfriendlyattitudeandthat if the soldier had been executed,as has been reported,such execution of a man who came into the Mexican lines in full uniform was contrary to military procedure of civilized nations and was an act of hostility.

I am a most unworthy member of a great Church that believes in re- vivals,and I believe myself in revi-vals of the old-fashioned sort.We have nowadays a great many revi- vals which seem to have as their pur pose getting some giddy youngsters to pledge themselves to abandon play- ing a social game of cards.I have no doubt that these efforts please and amuse his Satanic Majesty, when he sees sitting up in the front pews at these revivals are many old fellows,responding with hearty amens,whose financial standing is so poor that they can not buy ona credit five pounds of sugar from the nearest corner grocery. What we need is a renaissance of righteousness—a propoganda of -hon- esty.As I have stated before,we need line upon line,and precept upon precept,instilled into the rising gen- eration upon questions of common every-day honesty.But who hears and discourses upon these topics in these latter days? The great Methodist Church has a rule forbidding “borrowing without a probability of paying or taking up| goods without a probability of pay- ing for them.”And it also has ap im-| plied rule against worldly amuse-) ments so-called.I have heard a hun-| dred sermons aimed against worldly amusements,but I have never héard a single sermon “on the taking up| of goods withouta probability of pay- ing for them.”I do not object to any preacher making a tirede against worldly amusements if he thinks they are leading his people astray.I am} inclined myself to think tha*we real- ly are having most too much fun;but| if I were a preacher I would pay less attention te worldly amusemen’s.and sive a little more attention to worldly dishonesty. It was ‘said by one who taught the highest standard ef moral philosophy ever promulgated on this d¢arth, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,and unto God the things that are God’s.”I have heard a good many sermons on the latter part of this text,in which men were enjoined to pay what they are justly due to the Church,but I haye never heard a single sermon enjoining upon men their duty to their State;their duty to make full and just return of their property for taxes and to bear theirjustpartoftheburdensofgovern- ment.‘ What a great aid it would be to the proper and just administration of law in the court house if we could have a good many sermons on the text,“Thou Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. If a bill now pending before the} judiciary committee of the House and Senate becomes law Judges Boyd,| Pritchard and Connor will be denied}the right of appointing clerks to_their| courts and the privilege will be trans-| ferred to the President of the United| States.The measure further pro- videz for the abolishment of the fee system and the payment of an annual| salary of $3,500 to each.This would| make it possible for President Wilson to name a Democrat in each of the! positions now being held at the pleas- ure of the three Federal judgés in North Carolina.The bill may be crowded out at this session of Con- gress,but it is certain to become a| law.jee Has Held Office More Than Sixty) Years.| Chapel Hill News.| ;Uncle John Laws,the veteran reg-| ister of deeds of this county,wants| it distinctly understood that he is in| the race for re-election.Uncle John} him as al jOrange county over 60 years. jis safe.He has defeated so mnay| jthat there is not a Democrat or Re-|{publican in the county who has the} ;nerve to run.agaihst him.

What would you think of hearing 4 sermon on the text,“Thou shall not steal,”and have the discourse ad- dressed not to the negro chicken thief,but used,in the first place,as an earnest.and impassioned warning to young people who are engaged in addressed to men in all stations of life,with the purpose of showing that one in business transactions who takes what does not belong to him violates this command?Such a reverberate through the aisles ofthe Church like a thun- der storm in the fastnesses of the mountain,and like the thunder storm, would clarify in a wonderful degree the moral atmosphere.

Mooresville,May “184A heaviervotewaspolled.at the DemocraticprimarySaturdayinCoddleCreektownshipthanwasgenerallyexpect-ed.Up to the primary less interestthanusuallyaccompaniesapoliticalorpartycontest.was displayed ‘andmanyvoterswereindifferentrbout going to the polls.At the very last, however,more enthusiesra wasaroused.In this township the old ticket polled about two to the opposi- tion’s one..A very interesting meeting of those who are interested in the new ¢ream- ery to be established in MooresvillewasheldintheChrestonian¢elybroomsSaturdayafternoon.Therewereabout150farmerspresentand a few of the town’s business men and they went at the matter im a”busi- ness way.A report of the commit-tee showed at the outset that of the $5,500 to be raised all exeept $200waspledged-nd there will be no dif- ficulty cbout getting the remainder.So far as stock is concerned that is settled.The creamery is to be a paying business and the:money will be forthcoming when galled.~ The first thing done was to determ- ine on the number of directors,which was made nine.As suggested at a former meeting,the shareholders were limited to four shares in order to scatter the stock as-much as possi- ble.It is well scattered.The follow- ing resolution,was adopted:“Resolv- ed,that it is the sense of this meetingthatthefirstcallforstockbeatthe time and place of the-meeting to be ealled by the chairman for permanent organization,and that 20 per cent of subscriptions be.paid at that time;40 per cent in 60 days and 40 per cent in 60 days from the time the 40 per cent is paid.The subscriptions may be paid in cash or bankable notes.” Messrs.H.D.Mills,Sam Sloop andW.B.Harris were appointed as a committee on charter,with power to employ attorney.The committee on location was composed of J.A.Stew- art,J.‘A.Craven and Harry Deaton. By no means the least interesting topic considered was the name for the new institution.It was suggested that it be called the Iredell Creamery, the ith Iredell Creamery and the Mooresville Creamery,but at the sug-gestion of Mr.Arey,county demon- So strator,it was voted to christen it, |“The Mooresville Co ~Operative Creamery,”so as not to confuse it with another creamery that will in tgprobabilitybe established at Statesville before many years go by. It is expected before the frosts make their appearance again the Moores-ville Co-Operative Creamery will be in reality one of Iredell’s most popu- lar institutions.The meeting ad- journed to meet again in two weeks for permanent organization.

Revival at Colored Baptist Church.| Correspondence of The Landmark.,| A ten days’meeting was conducted at the First Baptist church (colored) by Rev.O.J.Allen,A.B.,the newly elected pastor,who came here a fev weeks ago,from Shelby,N.C.,wher: |he resigned the church at that pla jto accept the work here, About 79 persons were converted in | the meeting,75’of whom joined the church.The rite of Baptism was ad ministered to 50 candidates Sunday afternoon and night. Patt MONEY,-FRIENDS,INFLUENCE. ‘These Are the Things That Make the Administration of Justice Lopsided in North Carolina.? Everything. In Johnson county a young whitemannamedWhitleywasconvictedofmanslaughter—W.P,Blackman was killed,and Whitley was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.The story sent from Raleigh was to the effect that the “defense suffered a great shock”when it’was learned the jury had _convieted Whitley.The judge who tried the case recommend- ed that the Governor pardon the man. A large delegation of Johnston coun- ty people went to Raleigh to tell the Governor that one of the witnesseshadfinallycorfessedthathismem- was bad and he was not certain ory of his evidence.The new evidence sub- mitted to the Governor was “not im- pressive.”The story proceeds: “Still later the attorneys brought other evidence.Governor Craig granted a stay of sentence twice and prevented.Whitley going to prison. Then the attorneys for the prosecu- tion joined in the request for the par- rhe brothers of the slain man, W.P.Blackman,requested.the pardon and all opposition appears to have been dropped.That Whitley”never meant to kill Blackman has been be- lieved throughout,and there will be satisfaction throughout Johnston ty when Governor Craig’s decis- made known.” So it seems that.while Blackman is under the sod the man who killed him,,either intentionally or uninten- tionally,goes free.The Governor pardoned Whitley.The judge asked it,everybody asked it.Then why go rough the farce of trying a man for manslaughter—put an _innocent men threugh such an ordeal -—put our 1or i ti wh it was understood that a man ha n killed but the fellow who killed him didn’t mean to do it? Because there were friends to inter-med H in Guilford county a negro last week was sentenced to the chair.

This information from the American Cruz is valuable only as corroborat- ing prevalent opinion. oo The congressional campaign in the tenth district was a trifle warm and the end is not yet.The adherents of Reynolds and Gudger,the leaders in the contest,are charging fraud.It is probable there will be a warm time:when the Buncombe county Democratic convention meets tomor- row and probably some more warm times when the congressional conven- tion meets in Waynesville next week. It is to be hoped that the crookedness will be unearthed and exposed,let it harm whom it will.We have no doubt that if all the violations of the .corrupt...practices act,committed in the State within the past ‘few weeks,were punished as they should be,that the chain gangs of some of the counties would overflow and enough money would be put into the school fund to run the schools the full six months term next year. s a .

In making the commutation the Gov-ernor says:“From the evidence I conclude thattheverdictofthejury,whereby thedefendant,was convicted of murderinthefirstdegree,was proper.” Going on to say that the commy- tation was recommended by Judge Lyon,who tried the case,all the jurors and many prominent citizens, the Governor continues: “In my opinion the defendant can escape the punishment of death onlybythemercifulexerciseofthepow-er vested in the executive.In view ofthefactthatthehad-been grossty in- sulted,that he was meatly disturbed by this insult,that he may not havedeterminedtokillwiththatpremedi- tation and deliberation required by the statute,and in.accordance with the view of the good people of thatsectionlawyers,ministerd,doctors, citizens who must uphold and ad- minister the law—I have decided to commute this sentence to life im- prisonment,although I realize that the evidence warranted the verdict and that the defendant is guilty of a homicide which demands.the.se- verest punishment short of the ex- treme penalty—death.,” That is to say,-while the defendant reentrant tween the two points.The operating expenses of his craft were $150 a week.The freight it toted brought! him in about $50 a week.He got! tired of that sort of business and quit.| So there is now no boat on the upper Cape Fear and the work of the gov- ernment engineers is uninterrupted} by steather traffic—Charlotte Obser-| ver.The Landmark craves the civilogss| of the floor to ask for information.| If one boat running on the Cape Fear} river couldn’t get but $50 worth of | freight a week,for what is the gov- ernment spending hundreds of.thou-sands to “canalize”the Cape Fear? o >* This from the Greensboro News: Thomas A.Eidson,who has joined the procession of employers warring on the deadly.cigarette,said,in courseofhisexplanation: “This (cigarette paper)poison at-tacks:the folds of the brain and} works havoc with a man’s mental a|tivity.His mind becomes beclouded.

The contest between the Reynolds and Gudger forces in the congression- al contest in the tenth district is very bitter and charges.and counter charges of fraud and irregularities are being made.One of the charges is that large numbers of negroes were voted for Reynolds in the primary in Asheville.The answer is that ne- groes have been voting in Democratic primaries in Asheville for years.An- other statement is that more votes were cast in the Democratic primary in Buncombe than were cast for Gov. Craig in 1912.If the Buncombe Dem- ocrats keep on talking they will tell something. In Buncombe Superior Court this week a white man—McCoy Wilson— was tried for assaulting a negro.Af- ter remaining out several hours the jury reported that it had found that the defendant had struck a negro in self-defense.Whereupon Judge Jus- tice,who was presiding,sternly re- buked the jury.He said: “That’s a most marvelous verdict.Here’s a man who almost killed an in- nocent negro and who deserves to beseverelypunished.Little did I expectsuchaverdictfromyou.You have made a grave mistake,gentlemen,and there’s no excuse for such a verdict.

For too long a time snakes havebeenlookeduponas.the cause of the fall of man,and hencé as the enemyofthehumanrace.The facts in the case are that man has fewfriendsthantheharmlesssnakes.The ignorance about this class of animals in everf country section,however,isdenseenoughtobecutwithaknifelikecheese.:Almost all the snakes that we have in the United States,and particularly this part of the United:States,areharmless.But for them we would be overwhelmed with mice,rats,toads,and insects of harmful kinds.With-out harm to us,they stand as pro-tecting agencies of crops and storedupfoods.All the black snakes,thegarters,the milk snakes,the ground snakes,the hog-nosed adders,the water snakes,the tree snakes,the king snakes and horn snakés are harmless.In fact,in Guilford coun- ty we have but one snake that isvenomous,and that is the copperhead.Throughout the United States therearebutthreeothérvenomousverie-ties.The rattler appears under a seore of colors and names,and as is usually understood,is the most ven- omous snake we have-in America.Next to him is the copperhead.Near, ly or quite as venomous as the copper- head is the cotton-mouth water moc- easin,which,by the way,.is the only varieties.The bead snake,or helfa- quin snake,is one variety only (elaps fulvius)that is venomous.This snake seldom grows more than 15 or 18 inches in length,is banded with red, black and yellow and is confined to Florida and to some half dozen neig¢gh- boring Gulf States.**They are to be found in large numbers in moststreamsintheeasternpartofNorth Carolina,and as far north as the Pee Dee river,and its tributaries in Piedmont North Carolina. |It is a great pity that children are iF ot taught to recognize copperheads land cotton-mouth water moccasins at ight—as they do rattlers.To be sure nakes should be a great pity,however, t the hould be allowed to form ithe habit of killing the harmless uinately. nak S$indi It is not a difficult thing to recog- nize the copperhead by sight.His markings are perfectly plain and can- not be mistaken for the markings any other snake.The cotton-mou' moccasin while younger is marked very much like a copperhead. It is not.generally known that the rattlor,copperhead,and water mo¢s casin are closely related;being the only snakes in American which have pits between the eyes and nose,which bring forth their.young alive (vivi- parous instead of oyiparous).Theyaresometimescalledthepitvipers There are distinct traces in both the latter of having at some time in thepastbeenrattlersthemselves,but pensive,yct delightful and helpfulhairtonicfromStatesvilleDrugCo. or any drug store.Improvement beg with the very first application. it re ves every bit of dandruff.The sur your hair new life and beat eTiz”FIXES TED,| SORE,SWOLLEN FEET!

The 20th of May celebration in Charlotte this week was quite a suc~) cess,Many thousands of visitors at~| tended Wednesday and the speech of} Vice President Marshall,the feature of the day,was bright and pleasing.| The Observer says: “While avowing his belief in the au-| thenticity of the Mecklenburg Decla-| ration of May 20,1775,Mr.Marshall) declined to enter into any detailed dis-| enssion or even casual consideration of its historicity.He wanted to believe in it,and he was going to be- lieve in it,he declared,although! without going so far as to assert that the desire was father to the belief. But Mr.Marshall frankly avowed an antipathy to the extreme iconoclasm which has permeated modern life.| The deluge of anti-Declaration litera- ture to which he had been subjected by non-believers,probably resident.to the north of this city,he by no means appreciated,and none of these pam-} phiets had he read.Whether the’ Declaration of the 20th,or the re-!solves of the 31st really represent| the action taken is no matter,said!he,for each is a declaration of in-| dependente from Great Britain and sufficient to stir the blood in enthu- siasm.” There was a fine parade—military, floats,etc—and other attractive fea- tures.The weather was fine and al- together Charlotte has a right to feal proud and pleased at the result of the latest effort to celebrate tho his- toric day. The Vice President was accom- panied by Mrs.Marshall and Gov. Graig and staff were present.’The Governor introduced Mr.Marshall. The Waldensians in Rome at Last. Biblical Recorder.

Dr.GC.W.Byrd of Greensboro,in his extellent sermon to the graduating class.The discourse was.based onthreepassagesofScripturebearing on the subject,namely:“Seek the}sec’Lord and ye shall live;”.“I am come that they may have life,and that they may have it more abundantly;”“He that hath the Son hath life;and he that hath not the Son of God hath notlife”Many incdients were recitedbyDr.Byrd to illustrate the truths brought out during the course of the sermon.From the time that the prophets rose above the soothsayers and clairvoyants,said the minister,the aim was to propagate and foster life.We have various definitions of life,but none are adequate save that giv-en in the epistle of John:“He thathaththeSonhathlife.”To livemeanstocorrespondwithyouren- vironments.We must come into re-lations with those forees that sustain lifo—food for the body,the atmos- phere,light,and all that ministers to physical life.But we also have mindsandspiritstolive.To live the intel-lectual life we must bring all pow-ers of the mind to correspond withthosethingsthatsustainthatlife.To live'spiritually isto come into therelationwithGodandthetruththatpertainstoGod.”You will say thatitisimpossibleformantoliveonlypartially,I say there is not a man orwomaninthistownthatisinfull correspondence.with the forces thatmaintainlife...Men fall out with thethingsthatfeedlife.The world.hasneverseenbutonemanthatlivedcompletelyandthiswastheoneofwhomGodsaid:“This is my belov-ed Son in whom I am well pleased.”To my mind Christ was a great, strong physical man;a_great,strong intellectual man and a great, strong spiritual man.It is possibleforonewhohashadalladvantagesthrownabouthimtofallawayfromthem.‘Materialism often pulls men,|back after they have attained intel-"Hectual life.It is a fact that a largeportionofthepeoplewithwhomwecomeincontactliveontheoutsideofthings.Few have gotten on the in- side and reached the heart of things.are the salt of the earth;thesefstheywhichconstitutetheleaven in human society and have learned tofindGodinthelivingforcesofthe world.The thatthose living ontheoutsideofthingsareinthemajor- Night—.| ,|Mr.and Mrs.S.K.Carsonof& ppCarsongs fii Statesville CASE SETTLED OUT OF | Action Involving the 1RuthGaitherCompromi 'tiff’s Attorney Makes Statement.

This is what President Wilson has been working to bring about. It is beginning to be clear that the President’s much-criticized Mexican policy may have results so tremen- dous for good,may so advance prog- ress and civilization in the ot south of us,that the whole world will have to recognize and applaud.”“There is always a plentiful scorn of ideal- ism,but in domestic affairs at least the President has made of his ideal- ism a practical working force.Per- haps he can do it in foreign affairs also.. He will have the advantage,in his attempt,of the fact that world forces are working along with him.People are still talking and writing of the experimerit of democracy,but democ- racy is no experiment;it is the nor- mai system of government the world over today.Monarchies,autocracies, tyrannies are but names today.Dem- ocracy is a fact.No king in the civ- ilized world today holds the power of life and death over his subjects. None holds the power of torture.Eng- land,Germany,Italy,Belgium,Hol- land,Norway,Sweden,all the coun- tries of Europe,kingdoms in name, are republics in fact.All are making their way with great strides toward the goal of a perfect democracy. Asia has felt the impulse.Japan has awakened,China is awakening,even India is stirring.The cheap news- paper and.the.public schools have done the work.Democracy,as we have said,is the normal scheme of government.The burden of proof is now upon thosé who oppose,not upon those who favor it. Is this all mere rhetoric,nothing but words,the ravings of a dreamer? Some will say so.To our minds,how- ever,this fine passage of the Presi- dent’s interview answers all his critics and answers them completely: I reply that,when properly di there is no people not fitted for self- government..The very fact that the extension of the school system by Diaz brought about a certain degree of understanding among some of the people which caused them to awaken to their wrongs and to strive intelli- gently for their rights makes that contention absurd.1 do not hold that the Mexican peons are at present as capable of self-government as other people—ours,for example;but I do hold that the widespread sentiment that they never will be and never can be’made to be capable of self-govern- ment is as wickedly false as it is palpably absurd.” Nobody wants to give the Mexicans the kind 6f self-government which theUnitedStatespossesses,but those who stand with the President want to give them as large a measure of self- government as they are capable of using properly and the assurance of a continually increasing measure in the future.If President Wilson can secure that for the Mexican nation, he will deserve to be,and will be, numbered among the world’s great benefactors.: Subscription Swindlers Come to Grief.

Among other hardships they allege this amendment would ‘impose,the nervy 18 of Raleigh say it would de- prive-them of the “right and oppor- tunity to govern our own appetites “nnd to determine our own personal customs and habits?*"Phat a2wasa very fair argument in North Carolina a decade or more ago,but it has been so flattened out by the logic of events that one wonders that anybody in this State would undertake to re- poat it.But may be it has been so wet in Raleigh that these Raleigh folks don’t know the State is dry. The attention of the corn club boys and other boys,and men,too,is call- »ed to the article about corn,on an- other page of The Landmark.It will be observed that corn is now grown over a greater extent of the earth's surface than any other cereal and that the demand for it constantly in- creases.Since 1897 the corn acreage in the United States has increased about 25,000,000 acres,but notwith- standing the increase in acreage and the increased production per acre,the exports of corn have fallen from 189,006,000 bushels in 1897 to about 45,000,000.bushels last year,which is evidence of the great increase in home consumption.These facts in- ‘dicate that there is no danger’yet awhile of overstocking the corn mar- ket and causing a fall in the price; and the corn club boys may do their best for a fine yield this year. Fifteen thousand additional hands will be needed in Oklahoma to har- west the 1914 wheat crop,according te State Labor Comumissioner Daugh- erty.The commissioner estimates the crop at 40,000,000 bushels,the largest the State ever has produced.

Two eminent French chemists dis- covered a method of separating the curative medicinal elements of the cods’livers from the oil or grease which is thrown away ,but to these medicinal elements tonic iron is now added,thus combining ‘in Vinol the two most world famed tonics. As a body-builder and strength cre ator for weak,run-lown people,for feeble old people,delicate children, to restore strength after sickness; and for chronic coughs,colds,bron- chitis or pulmonary troubles we ask you to try Vinol with the understand- ing that your money will be returned if it does not help you.

When the prohibitionists talk about”whiskey ruining the boys it is customary for the Morally Stunted to answer that parents should teach their beys te avoid whiskey,just as they teach them to avoid other evils. Tt will be noted that the argument for the cigarette is the same,The ‘Nobody cares particularly to de- fend the cighrette,except those who make them and those who sell them, because there is a pretty general conviction that most people would be better off if they used no tobacco at all.But the notion that the cigar- ette has some especial diabolism of its own can easily be earried into ab- surdity.There are some millions of men who use cigarettes in the Unit- ed States.A great many of them are in the professions—lawyers,doc- tors,teachers,engineers,journalists. These avocations are not especially marked by “dulled brains.”Take them as a whole,they are a pretty lively bunch of men. The damp folks used to say that ‘a drink of whiskey would brighter one’s wits;that liquor properly used was a good medicine;that some of the most intellectual and successful men—"“lawyers,doctors,teachers,en- journalists”—were not averse to a drink on occasion and were none the worse for it.But medical science has about preved that almost anybody is the worse for a drink-of whiskey at any time.The argument for the cigarette is exactly the argument made for whiskey. gineers, The Presbyterians have joined the Methodists in condemuing the use of tobacco.The Southern Presbyterian General Assembly,at Kansas City, went on record as opposed to the use of tobacco among clergymén,candi- dates for the ministry and Church of- ficials.Rev.J.S.Lyons of Louis- ville,Ky.,late moderator of the As- sembly,on behalf of the committee on bills and overtures,recommended that the Assembly réply in the nega- tive to an overture asking it to dis- courage the use of tobacco.“We did not meet here,”said Mr.Lyons,“to quibble over ‘small matters of per- sonal habit,but to settle some of the great questions troubling our Church.”But instead of adopting Bro.Lyons’recommendation,the As-sembly overruled him and went on record as stated.<<-seemeneniatesinieeeeesesthieatinmeinatsn Col.P.M.Pearsall,who was a few months ago appointed deputy clerk of the Federal court at New Berne, has thrown up the job.He found;-he says,that he would not only have toabandonhislawpractice:but hid po- litical activities as well,and the last was the straw that brought the res-ignation.It is not surprising that the colonel surrendered his office rather than surrender his privilege to take part in the political game, but he is setting a bad example in re-|}signing.It will never do in the world for the idea to get abroad that pointmentand failed to land,was inWashingtonafewdaysagoanditwasannouncedthathewouldbeap-pointed director of thecensus to sn¢- ceed Harris,resigned,or to some-thing equally as good.Mr.Rogers.has filled several positions in the State with entire credit to himselfandwouldmake-a capable official for Uncle Sam.3 bles Again the money which the gov-ernment.was to furnish to help build the road ‘from Statesville to Wins- ton-Salem is in the air;The coun-ties of Iredell,Davie and.Forsyth were to put up $40,000 and the gov- $60,000 for the line,A government inspector who went over the road re-ports that it will take $100,000 to build it.There the matter stands for the present.It jis suggested.that the three counties will put up.two- ment will put ‘up one-third,but as all the money for road work in North Carolina has been promised;for the time being;whether the.government wil)do this is not yet known.If the government does not increase its appropriation and insists’on ‘the $100,000,it will be necessary for the three counties to raise $80,000. Why Not a Land of Painted FarmHouses? G.G.,Brownell in the ProgressiveFarmer.oOne.-0f the slogansof -The-Pro-gressive Farmer,for it has several,is:“Make the South a Land of Paint- ed Farm Houses.”Do you realizethatthiscouldbemadeanaccom-plished fact within a weck?Yearsareneededtobringabout.some ofourideals;for instance,the eradica-tion of the cattle tick,the introduc-tion of pure-bred stock,the wideestablishmentoffruit,poultry,andtruckfarms,‘The week after youreadthis,however,the.South mightbealandof-painted farm houses,And what a change! Nothing would do more to influ-ence the right kind of home-seekerstosettleamongus.’Nothing at any-thing like the cost would give our-selves the satisfaction and pleasurethatwewouldobtainfromtheim-proved appearance of our own homesandthoseofourneighbohood.The;gain,toa,is not to be meas-ured solely in terms of enjoyment.There is a very real economy in paint-ing boards that are exposed to theweather.Sap lumber well paintedwill,it is said,outlast unprotectedheartstuff.The latter painted oughttolastforever.Good heart materialcannolongerbeprocuredéxceptatgreatexpense,while the poorer qual-ity of lumber that we must dependuponinthefutureabsolutelyrequiresanimperviouscoatingifwewouldhaveitendure. How the Officeholding Fever TakesHoldandHoldsOn, Lexington Dispatch. Ex-Sheriff Griffith,of Thomasville,who was here Saturday for the con-vention,discoursed eloquently on the“officeholding fever”that seizes up-on men occasionally and impels themtorespondtothecallofduty.Hesaidthatallmenhadthegerminthem,and it takes mighty little urg-ing and encouragement to get thatgermbusy.A man may be goingalong,pursuing the even tenor of hiswayandneverthinkingaboutoffice-holding,when some friend will passthewordalongorputasquibinthepapersayingthathewouldmakeagoodmanforsuchandsuchanoffice.The first thought of the man men-tioned is that the suggestion “is “afoolishone,but as the days go bytheideagrowsandgrowsandhecan’t shake it off.By and by it be-comes a consuming fire and he getsout,shucks his coat and goes afterit.While Sheriff Griffith has hadlongadvariedexperiencewithpoli-tics and politicians,offices and office-holding,he.knows no remedy for thedisease.He is of the opinion thatthedisease,once contracted,is incur-able._—_— Peace Plans About Completed.Niagara Falls Dispatch,May 28,Plans for the pacification of Mexi-co through mediation virtually havebeencompleted.

The Home Rule Bill and Its History. The Home Rule bill provides for the establishment of an Irish Parliamentconsisting“of a Senate and House of Commons,which shall have the pow- er “to mzke laws for the peace,orderandgoodgovernmentofIreland.” But it will not have power to legis-late in matters affecting the army, navy,treaties,foreign or —colonial relations,naturalization,aliens, coinage or legal tender.Among the “reserved services”upon whieh it cannot legislite are the Irish Land Purchase act,the old age pensionlaws,the national insurance of labor aeae eabillJanvaryi,1913,by a maj Se Lord:Latgr the Vote at0sateieavidingthatanybillpassedxytheHoose‘of Com- consent of the House of Lords.It isunderthevetoactthattheHomeRulebillhasbeenputthroughPar-liament against the grrebnua op-position of the House of Lords,The Home Rule bill was passed forthesecondtime,and again rejected by the Lords.Then began the final struggle that has resulted in the re:volt in Ulster,the enlistthent of thou- sands of volunteers.and the importa- tion of guns and amonfinition in de- fiance of.the King’s order,to resistthe“imposition”of an Irish Parlia-ment upon Ulster.Various compro-mise propesitions have been submit-ted tentatively,but all have been re-jected.On March 9 last Premier Asquith proposed that a poll he takenoftheparliamentaryelectorsof-UI- ster province to decide whether theyshouldbeexe¢luded from the opera-tions of the Higme Rite act for six years from the first meeting of the Irish,Parliament.This would haveexcludedthecountiesofAntrim,Ar-magh,Londonderry:and Down for”period of ‘six years.John RedmondannouncedthatthePremiorhadgone to the extreme limit in concessions, and that was all the Nationalists. would consent to yield,But it wasrejectedbySirEdwardCarson,the Unionist leader,who demanded thatUlstershouldbeexcludednotfor six years,but forever from the ruleofanIrishParliament...He offer- ed,however,to call an Uleter con- vention to consider the exclusionpropositionifMr.Asquith wouldwithdraw--the time -Hmit:—-This-theLiberalsdeclined. The most serious development _in the Ulster revolt occurred on April 24,when,in defiance of the King’s or- der,prohibiting the importation of arms into Ireland,the Uister Union- ists landed 70,000 rifles and 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition that had been brought over sea chartered ships.Ahundredautomobiles—were —pressed into service.The arms were landedatthepertofLarne.<aysesmasiemmeestastnamemasnantenatanen Serious Fire in Yadkin the Result of Carelessness.

Rural Carriers Under Civil Service How Removals May Be «Secured From Classified Service. Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News.oe is Representative Small made the fol- lowing statement with reference~to the civil status of rural delivery mail carriers: “T have received numerous com- munications,and I assumé that the other Representatives from North Carolina have likewise received in- quiries,regarding the conditions un- der which rural carriers may be \re- moved.The opinion seems to be prev- alent that Representatives or Sen- ators may by personal efforts se- cure the removal of rural cat- riers and the appointment.of oth- ers in their stead.This is not correct.As a mattor of fact,ru- ral carriers are in the :classified civil service and are subject to the law and regulations governing that service.; “I recently took up this matter with the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General,having jurisdiction of rural carriers,who has given me a reply in writing.He calls my attention to -e-elanse-ofthe law which J quote follows: “No person in tl service of the United States shall be | removed therefrom except for such cause as will promote the efficiency of said service and for reasons given in writing,and the person whose re- moval is sought shall have hotice of the same and of any charges prefer- red against him,and be furnished with a ¢opy thereof,and also be al- lowed a reasonable time for personal- ly answering the same in writing.’ “This official further says that the decision to remove-a carrier is made by the Postoffice Department.He ¢alls attention,however,to an execu- tive order which provides.that in any case where political activity is charg- ed,that recommendation as to thepenaltytobeimposedforsuchder- eliction shall.be made by the Civil Service Commission.Accordingly in such cases,the department before taking action,submits the matter for the consideration of the commission. “To sum it up,rural carriers just as other officials in the classified civil servite,may not be removed except for cause,and the cause must be suchas‘will promote the efficiency of thepostalservice.’The cause and charges must be made in writing,and the em-ploye is entitled to have a copy of same and an opportunity to answer. “This may be known by many,butitisquiteevidentthattherearemany of our people throughout the Statewhodonotknowthestatusofruralcarriersandthattheyareprotected by the civil service.” Republicans and Progressives Have Get-Together Meeting at Greensboro. About 60 Republicans and Progres- sives met in Greensboro Tuesday,in response to the call of Chairman JohnM-Morehead of the Republican com- mittee,to discuss a union of the Re- publicans and Progressives of the State.‘ Following a-general expression from such men as Tom Settle of Asheville,Cyrus A.Reynolds of Win-| ston-Salem,ex-Judge W.P.Bynum of Greensboro,E.Carl Duncan of Raleigh,Clarence Call of Wilkesboro and others,to the effect that the par- ty ought to be united again under a solid front,there was discussion of the methods to be pursued in begin- ning the get-together movement. Two propositions were before the meeting.One was offered by Gil- liam Grissom to the effect that a committee of seven be named to ap- point a committee of three who would confer with representatives from the wings of the party,to the end that a joint convention might be called.This was discussed until it ‘was seen such a plan might ‘cause strife. The other proposition,which was adopted,was to name Chairman Morehead and National Committce- man.Duncan gs a committee of ne-| gotiation.Mr.Duncan expressed his entire willingness to do anythingthatwouldunitetheparty.
