The charge of Mr.Holton,t the letter of Mr.Travis in odes to the tax amendment to the constitu- tion,was fixed up in the ‘office of Southern Power Company attorneys in Charlotte,was not true,as was shown by the statements published But it was true,as was shown by evidence after the last issue of The Landmark appeared,°that copies of similar.letters,written by Mr.Travis, were being carried about the State by corporation attorneys and used in argument against the amendment. Mr.Holton seen such letter,as he stated,before thé Travis letter was published in the Charlotte Ob- server.It was in the hands of A.H. Price,an attorney of Salisbury,who was circulating it for the purpose mentioned.Mr.Price ts not an at- torney for the Southern Power Com- pany but is attorney for another cor- poration;and it seems other corpor- ation attorneys slso bad copies of the letter and all of them were work- ing against the tax amendment.

The meaning of the result of’Tues- day’s elections depends of coursh.on how you lodk at it.tt Naturally the Republicans see in the big gains in the House of Congress a repudiation of the Wilson administra- tion and the rosy prospect of returning the Republicans to power two years hence. The Democrats of course do not see it that way.In the first ‘place the ab- normal majority in the House of Con- gress was won under abnormal condi- tions and nobody expected to hold.so large a majority."The decrease,howev- er,was greater than was expected. This is attributed to various causes, Champ Clark says the effect of the war well off we are. ‘olkter;if we set our faces resolutely to the front and resolve to.make the best of it,pretty soon we'll forget the business depression,and forget- ting it is going a long way toward eliminating it.: Secretary of the Navy Daniels ex- presses the opinion that the slump in the Democratic vote this yea, particularly the result in New York, was due to the present administra- tion’s disposition to help the South, More than likely that had something to do with it.The people of the North have been told for years| that if the Democrats got'control of| the government they would turn it! over.to the South.and the Republican| politicians may have used the at-| tempted legislation in behalf of cot-| ton to the prejudice of the Demo-| crats,| |ep emaeemasineeiemecmne tenantsNmarsSTATENEWS.

By vote of the people Mecklen- burg—and probably sonie other counties—ilecided that ““‘War of Re- bellion”is correct.They hold that the soldierywho fought for the Con- federacy in 1861-’5 were guilty of insurrection and were rebels,Other strange things that we have seen in the campaign just closed.Politicians who in every campaign since the “War of the Rebellion,”as the Mecklenburg folks have decided it thzt})be called,have fiercely as. sailed the work of earpetbaggers in 1868 as a work of Infamy,proclaim- i| tution of ’68,written by Judge Tour- gos.as a wise deliverance.One speaker The Landmark heard talked about the method of taxation provid- ed by the Tourgee constitution as the “good old Democratic way.”The folks who have at this late day be- come so enamored of the work of the carpetbaggers should be forever estopped from criticising the Legis- lature of 1868-’9. {The New York Democrats having elected a man Governor they found it necessary to impeach —whether the impeachment was for political purposes or because the man was “yeally a bad man ®the same so far as the effect on the public mind is concerned—it is not surprising that the party was turned down Tuesday. If Bill Sulzer was unworthy the Democrats should not have made him Governor.If the party ma- chine impeached him because he re- fused to do its bidding,.so much the worse for the party;and tho voters jat the polls Tuesday repudiated the whole businéss,by which some good men doubtless suffered for the sins of a few. tAiddressing the Iredell.Republican _convention last Alugust,Mr.Linney gaid if he had time he would defeat In light of the election returns it is ble to assume that Mr.Lin. have time- Durham Both have been missed. “The barn of S.C.Payne of Lin-In destroyed by fire The State meeting of the ‘Daugh-} ters of the Revolution,held in Dur- ham this week,elected Miss Lida Redman of Washington (N.C.)re-|gent,.The next meeting will ba held in Waynesville.

(Yes,it is highly gratifying to see | +that the people of Iredell showed| their intelligence in voting on the| “amendments.Because they opposed| ©some of>'the amendments they did) /not blindly .vote against all,thus| manifesting ignorance and prejudice) and making themselves ridiculous,| as was the case in some counties.

Under the plan Sumter elects,a com mission of three men,who act as a board of directors’in managing the town’s affairs.They are paid a sal- ry,of $200 each per year.These men select a business manager for the town,who looks after all the de- tails of administration.To get a competent man when the plan was inaugurated Sumter sent this adver- tisement broadcast throughout the country:‘ >“The city of Sumter -hereby an ®nounces that applications will be re- ceived from now till December the first for the office of City Manager of Sumter. “This is a rapidly growing manu- facturing city of 10,000 population, ard the applicant should be compe- |tent to oversee public works,such as paving,lighting,water supply,ete. .“An engineer of standing and abil- ©ity would be preferred. “State salary desired and previous experience in municipal work. “The City Manager will hold office as long as he gives satisfaction to the| commission.He will have complete administrative-control of =the -city, subject to the approval of the board of three elected commissioners. “There will be no politics in the job;the work will be purely that of an expert. “Local citizenship is not necessary. although a knowledge of local condi- tions and traditions will of course be taken into.consideration. “A splendid opportunity for the right man to make a record in a new ThethatJ.B.Cornelius,who:died the other day and left about $100,100 to Davenport,College,Lenoir,for the education of poor girls,originally contemplated ieaving his money to Trinity College.The reason Trinity didn’t get it is interesting.

THE LATE REV. A Godly E.N.GWYN. Man and His Long and Faithful Service. orrespondence of The Landmark Once in awhile a mar.dies of whom nothing but goed ir spoken and whose life service is praised hy every oné, who came in contact with him.Such seems to be true of the late Rev.E. N.Gwyn,whose death has been men- tioned in The Landmark. Rev.Enoch Newton Gwyn was born June 13,1836,at Elkin,and was a son of Richard Gwyn.Richard Gwyn was one of the pioneer woolen end cotton manufacturers ir Pied- mont North Carolina.During the erection Of both the-woolen and cot- ton mills at Elkin,Richard Gwyn, morning and evening,would gather his family and ail his laborers to- gether around the family altar and engage in prayer.So-the late Rev. E.N.Gwyn was reared by «sturdy, energetic and pious parentage In 1865,.at the age of 29,Mr. Gwyn was ordained tc the Baptist ministry and during his long and faithfal service in that canacity he served as pastor of almost every Bap- tist church in the Brier Creek Asso- ciation.He served as clerk of the association about 25 years.durin; which time he always took an active part in discussing all questions com- ing up for consideraticn in that body He continued in pastoral work as long as his health would permit and then spent four years visiting aJ!the churches in the Brier Creek Associa- tion,in the interest of Sunday schools,an institution of which h was an earnest supporter. Perhaps Rev,Mr.Gwyn put iz more time visiting the sick and the poor than any other preacher in all this section.He was one of the most spiritual-minded men the writer ever knew,and worldly things appeared to receive a very small part of this at- tention.He was a most lovable char- aeter;the poor never had a beiter friend.He numbered his friends by his acquaintances and of enemies he had none.His Godly life and work are a benediction to all whe knew him.A truly great and good man has been called up higher.None can doubt that he heard and merited that welcome plaudit,‘‘Well done,thou good and faithful servant.enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.”Surviving Mr.Gwyn are his wife, 1 |Mrs.Elizabeth Johnson Gwyn;twoMt.Mourne Items.

The lull in the fighting on both sides has brought little relief forthemeninthetrenches,as the ar-tillery and rifle fire has been replacedbyasevereNovemberstorm.In some parts of England the storm hasbecomeablizzard.On the sea a heavy gale rages and the battlefields are getting their full share of -wind and rain-: For the most part the opposing armies have been content to shell each other at long range,but the Germans have made several attacks around Ypres which,according to the French general staff,have been re-pulsed with heavy losses.

It is said the Germans are findingthedestroyedvillageqdeathtrap. They have been unable to debouch from it in the day time,as all theapproachesarecommandedbythe allies’guns,and night attacks have met with disaster. The fact is apparent that neither side has made any significant ad- vance,both being so well trenched that neither artillery nor infantry can move them-: The Germans are turning Belgiumintoafortress,which means that if they do not succeed in advancing they intend to be prepared to |winter there.'

Fighting continues in East Prussia and other regions in the east hetween the Russians and the Germans andAustrians,but apparently without de- cisive result.A battle of some proportions is go- ing on between the Russians and Turks at Koprukeui,in the Caucasus,the result of which may have.a marked bearing on the war in that part of the world.Elsewhere in the Near East there has been no engage- ment of importance. England,it is announced,has no intention of undertaking any military or war operations in Arabia,exceptforprotectionofArabianinterest against Turkey or other aggression, or in support of attempts by theArabstofreethemselvesfromTurk- ish rule.Bulgaria also has set at rest the report that she had an agreement with Turkey,issuinga statement that to such agreerient exists.

Courtney,United States navy,short-ly before sailing time:The docks, as the ship cast loose her lines,were thronged with thousands of school children.tThegifts that the Santa Claus ship carried were gathered from ev- ery State of the Union.They include almost everything from toys anddollstoclothingandfood.So heavy was the rain of Christmas presents for the chlidren of Europe that a force of 90 soldiers and 60 sailors from the navy yard was required to receive and classify the gifts as they arrived and repack them so that an equal distribution might be.made in the several countries for which they were intended.A summary of the cargo made byCommanderCourtneyshortlybefore sailing showed the following items: Fourteen cat loads of children’s clothing,five car loads of women’s clothing,one car load of men’s cloth-ing,five car loads of toys,and 57 carloadsofmiscellaneouspresents, foodstuffs,boots,shoes,etec.,a total of 82 car loads,: The ship will call first at Fal mouth,where the gifts intended for England,France and Belgium willbedischarged;then she will proceed to Rotterdam;where gifts for Hol- land and Germany will be discharg- ed.At dater date another consign- ment will go forward for the people of Russia and Poland.‘' Nearly all the gifts received were accompanied by notes of good will, written by the donors.Ass the spirit of neutrality of the United Stateswasunwittinglyviolatedinmanyof these missives,it was found neces- sary to withhold them.A largequantityofclothingwasfoundunfit for immediate shipment and it willbesenttoEllisIslandforcleaning and fumigating and:will afterward be taken in charge by wives of army officers who have volunteered for theservice,and prépared for a later shipment.t : Mesers..Keuster and Fairbrother toSpeakFridayEvening.

Mr.R..B,McLaughlin’s talk .ontreeswasheardbyaninterestedau-dience at the Commercial club roomsFridayevening.The room was full,but the talk-4Mr.McLaughlin balk. ed at the word “lecture”and insisted that it was an informal talk—wasworthyofalargerauditorium:and alargeraudience.The members oftheCivicLeague,under whose aus- pices the talk was made,not cnlyheardsomethingworthwhilebuttheotherspresentareindebtedtothem for a treat. Presented by Mrs.R.W.Orr,the president of the League,Mr.Mc- Laughlin said at the outset that he knew it was not the commercial val- ue of trees,or fruit trees,they want- ed to hear about,but shade trees.Lord Bacon was quoted as saying that when the Creator had createdtheearththefirstthingHedidwas to plant a garden—trees and flowers, Gardening of that character is thepurestofallhumanpleasures.Stately buildings and palaces are naught without trees and gardens. As people grow in elegance they gar-den more—follow the precedent of the Creator in improving and beau- tifying.There is now a wonderful awakening in nature study.The great poets were all naturalists;that’s what made them great.Burns,Shakespeare and Byron knew the birds and were interpreters of na- ture.Byron’s allusion to the call of a wild bird,in leaving the shores of his native land,is evidence that heknewthecallofthebird. Few people know that native birds undergo a moltless color change,as the tree changes its color without dropping its foliage.Tennyson in Locksley Hall talks.about the fuller crimson on the robin’s breast and the lapwing’s fuller crest.Washington Irving tells of the change of the col- or of bebolink.The American gold- finch is one of the prettiest of our native birds in spring.In winter few people recognize it bceause it wears the garb of the common spar-row,Joseph Rodman:Drake could tell the species of the mockingbird by its note.Tennyson,in The Brook, called the names of the water birds.Coming to shade trees,Mr.Mc-Laughlin.said the important partwastoknowhowtosetthemout.Trees grow most rapidly in filled in“arth an!the excavations for treeplantingshouldbelarge,with plentyoflooseearth.To dig a‘hole as ifyouwereplanting«fence post and leave the roots of the tree againstthehardclayusnallymeansthatthetreewillfailtogrow.There are two seasons in which to plant trees—fall and spring—and both are good.The sugar maple grows best planted in spring.Mr.McLaughlin would plant the native forest trees rather than the fancy nursery stock.All the trees and shrubs that will growinthisclimatehavebeengrownon the Vanderbilt estate but the nativeforestsontheestatesurpassin beauty all the importations. Don’t plant wery small trees.Larger trees,if not too large,grow better,stand the sun and,drcughtbetterbecausethereismoresapinthem.The native forest trees aremorehardythanthenurserystock and are not so subject to insect pests.Our people don’t set out the white oak,but it is one of the pret- tiest of our native trees and will grow.Water or willow oaks,as we have seen,make beautiful shade trees and grow quite rapidly.'iEstablish an Arbor Day,was Mr.McLaughlin’s suggestion to «the la- dies of the Civic League.It is not necessary for the Governor to make proclamation or to have laws pass- ed,Put Arbor Day into the heartsofthepeople.Appoint committees and allot territory and get a_treeplantédineveryspotwhereashadetreeshouldbe. ‘Our people do not realize the property value of shade trees.None of.us properly appreciate our f6r-ests.To apreciate them,—o:ould have'to go West and contemplate the monotony of a treeless plain.Thepioneerscutthetreestoletinthe sunlight.Now we put out trees tomakeattractivethesunbakedtree-less lot.Years ago 2 man _boughtpropertyInStatesvillethatwascov-ered with splendid native trees.Hecutthemdownandsowedoats,Alltheoatshecouldgetoffthegroundfromthatdaytothiswouldnotbe worth one-tenth the value of thetreesheruthlesslydestroyed..Our people must be educated to value trees;the worth of 4 _shade.treemustbeimpressed.on them.Haman was hanged on a callows of his ownmaking,but Mr.McLaughlin is sure no Man was ever hanged who plant-ed a tree;but many.who have ruth-lessly.destroyed shade trees plantedbyothersdeservetobehanged,Don’t fear the study,of,nature orthe:discovery of the truths of natureandsciencewil!lead you to doubt theSetiptures,said Mr.McLavehlin.Beecher put the doubting geologists:to flight by citing them to the rocks,There isa literature throughout na-ture written by God’s own hand.There are books in running brooksandsermons.in stones.‘Holding up a persimmon,Mr.Me-Laughlin said it represented a mira-cle:The date family is prolific andthepersimmonistheonlydatethatgrowsintheUnitedStates.To pro-duce it is required the mineral,veg- Nha! in Ki ,wounded and miss-|gtableand animal kingdoms,theteughofthewaryattafsheaven,heat ind light,:.Kelements from the solar system and NEWS FROM ABOUT THE STATE Items of Interest Gathered From Va-rious Points in the State, ‘On the 3d of November the votersof-Northhampton—county voted toabolishtheofficeofcountytreasurerandtoputthecountyofficersonasalary.Romula 8.Naon,ambassador fromArgentinatotheUnitedStates,wil}deliver the address before the StateLiteraryandHistoricalAssociaton in Raleigh next month.; \Av report was sent out from Farm.ville,Pitt county,recently that a firetherecaused4lossof$500,000.TheLandmarkthoughttheamountwasratherlargebutitwassostatedinallthedispatches.The New BerneSunsays$75,000 are the correct figures.

The first contribution: For the Belgiansome.eal “A report of a recent meeting of the Elericemoh club of Statesville stated that the members had discussed the constitution of North Carolina,which suggested to The Landmark that the 'Blericemoh ladies were doing some-| thing practical and worth while.The| recent campaign experience was suf- ficient to convince any intelligent.ob-| *server that a study of the State con-) land presented to.the Legislature of| 1909.“Some of the citizens of States- |yille objected to the change,however,| land the Iredell members of the Leg-| liskature declined even to introduce| ithe bill,notwithstanding the city ad-| |ministration asked for it and agreed| to Jeave it to a vote of the people.| Two years later the opposition had| |disappeared and the new charter was| |put through the Legislature of 1911) |without change.It was under this) charter that.the present administra-| tion bas been able to make exten-| site styeBet improvements;without it they couid not have preceeded in tie manner they have. |While the board of aldermen of the \Grier administration was discussing street improvements and making the plans for them,the -town business manager plan was also discussed:A} part of the board,*probably all of |it,favored the plan;and by common} consent there was put into the char-| ter this section,which is section 74: That the board of aldermen of the city of Statesville shall have the |right and power,if they deem it ad- visable,to employ som@ person.te act as business agent for ssid city,| and said persen when s0 appointed exercise such duties and power as the board shall confer upon him in the administra-| tion of the business affairs of the city.Authority is hereby given said board to fix the salary and term of |office of said business agent. This means that the board of al- dermen of Statesville now has,and has had for nearly four years,the authority to employ a business man- ager.Whether they shall employ the manager and what his duties shall be,is a matter for the board.| If public sentiment in favor of the |plan is strong enough,the board of aldermen elected next spring would doubtless agree to put in the business #titution’is*not only “tmportant:but}anager,as provided under the pres- necessary if we are to be intelligent-| ly soverred.Few people’read the| constitution:few lawyers,even,are familiar with all its provisions;it is studied in few schools.But if the ladies familiarize themselves and the children coming on will know| more of the organic law of the State than their elders today-And we hope| the ladies won't stop with the study| of the State constitution and State affairs but will study also the county government and municipal govern- ment.Learn how local affairs ‘are conducted and that will lead to a study of how they may.be improved, This does not necessarily mean pre- paration for the hallot.The ballot for women is coming.It may be a long way off.But even if the women never vote,their Influence is needed for the better administration of pub. lic affairs,to make the town,the county and the State a better place in which to live.Familiarity with the methods of government will help them to do that.een Those are fine suggestions Mr. Millsaps makes for the observance of Civic Service week.Especially Since the good roads have been built.in Tredell,there is a no- ticeable improvement in the homes. Better houses are being built and more paint is being used.But most of the premises are barren of trees, grass,shrubs or flowers:and worse still,too often unsightly rubbish takes the place of these in the door- ya The school grounds,the chu grounds and the burying ‘grounds are unadorned and unsightly:| By all means Civic Service Week should be observed in Iredell as a sort of clean-up week,beginning at home first,as Mr.Millsaps suggests. If we can’t appreciate the beauty—| and we will appreciate it once the improvement is made—jwe should at least look at it from the sanitary ayd the financial standpoint.A home »with an attractive lawn and trees with | this document it means that its pro-| visioris will be studied in the homes| ent charter.That much can at least} be done,if no more.The Landmark is inclined to favor a still further change,which would require an amendment of the charter,which} could be secured at the meeting of| the Legislature in January if the} people favor it.We are inclined to think that the scope of the business manager’s activities should be defin-| ed,and his authority,under the board,full and complete.It would be easy to make thé thing a farce un- der the present charter if the board elected was not heartily in favor of it.But without arguing that point,| there is,we’think,strong reasons for arpthdr change.Wher Statesville was laid off into wards and given a city charter,the number of aldermen was increased to eight with the idea! of having more men to look after ithe city’s business,so that the bur- den would bear lightly on.ed¢h.With a business manager to take over the jadministrative details of the town’s business,so many aldermen are un-| |necesstry.There would be little for \them to.-do,except possibly to pick| iflaws in the business manager’s |methods.“Too many cooks spoil the| |broth.”Four aldermen,or by what- lever name called,would be enough. lit might be well to abolish the ward |plan and elect them at large.But) |four would be enough.It would con-| |eentrate the authority and responsi- |bility in a fewer number and they |could more easily be held responsible |for the proper transaction of the |public business.One of them could} |act as chief executive—mayor—and |hold the city court. |But whether the charter is amend-| (ed and the number of aldermen re- |duced or not,by all means push the| city manager plan.It is better to| |proceed under the method authorized| |than to have no plan;and if the peo-| |ple favor it and make it an issue in ithe aldermanic contests,it could be} |made effective with the right sort of| a board :| Frim all parts of ihe country come thousands of dollars,for if the roads} |formation to Dr,Beasley of the Mon- |but it sounds very much like his ad- lit go at that. were being built-But to.go on build. ing new roads and leave those al- ready built to go to the bad for lack of prompt and systematic repair,is a|.for the benefit of that section of the plan that can’t be defended.Jt’s a|State,which increases the .force waste of money.Some of the new|there to 50;and 38 were sent to the roads of the county are now greatly!Yadkin River railroad,increasing the nev}of-repair.A,part of the}number there to 50..The twelve were sent to the Bat Cave the Sharpe mill,is in bad condition|of the State prison offered to send and rapidly growing worse. soon repaired that section will be in|which is in tHe hattds of a receiver, as bad condition as the old mud road}but the company wasn’t prepafed to before the new road was constructed;|take care of them. and’there are others.n The work of these convicts is paid 1T’.ere will be elazzor-ard de- mands,but the *commissionera lare | put in office to act the part of sensi.| ble business men—jto manage the af-| fairs of the county as they would their private business,and there can be no defence for spending hundreds | of -housands on roads en.then allow-| ing them to go te the bad for lack of y Prompt repairs will ‘save employed in constructing.The roads are important enterprises,and doubt worthy of the help they are re- ceiving.But the people of States- ville,north Iredell,Yadkin and Sur- ry counties,who are interested in the construction of the Statesville Line railroad,would_like to know why this road has”been ignored in this distribution of convicts.The Air Line is just as important to the 0 repair are allowed-to.go unrepaired for months practically reconstruction will|section through which it runs as any be necessary.“‘A stitch in time saves|of the enterprises favored;it has the nine.”|game claim on the State as to legis- All this is trite.It is not Numerous people have talked it.All tdmit it is proper.Then why not; do it’It has been suggested to The Landmerk that the proper way to) manage the road repair work is te employ a competent man for his whole time,put him in charge of the work and require results:The idea of having the work done here and there by people who are not practi. cal and experienced road builders, depending on the commissioners to look after it,is not business.‘The Tandmark thinks well of this.plan,| but it favors any practical business| plan that means good work at least| expense.It net séntiment that should be considered,but business: Another most important matter: The first of next month the county officers go on the salary,basis and all the fees will be turned into the treasury.It is important that a bus- iness system of bockkecping and ar sprroved methéd of keeping the ac- seunts should be installed.In the average county office exch officer has his own method of bookkeeping;few of them were familiar with business methods when théy went into office and they keep books in the best way they can.The public business can’t be too carefrlly kept and the beoks should be képt in such manier that the affairs of the county—the amount of money paid in and paid out and what for—should be easily accessible to ‘any citizen at any time. An approved and modern system of 0okkeeping has installed in many counties to simplify the coun- ty business.An expert accountant 1s employed to audit the books and in- stall the new method,which should be similar in all the offices»This should nave been done in Ifedell long ago.| If it hd bee there woul have been| fewer disputes about settlements and| what is and what is not due the coun- ty;and it is important that it should be done now,in view of the change of business methods in the county.

All the work on the Elkin and Al- leghany,for instance,has ,been done by the State except $20,000 put into the road by the town of Elkin.In a contract made by the State with John A.Mills,in 1911,for the ¢on- struction of this road,it was agreed that if the State convicts were with- drawn before the road was completed Mr.Mills was not required,to com- plete the road.°The-indebtedness of the Elkin and Alleghany amounts to $48,000 per mile. is and Lisman have $219,600.

Lackey,a short distance east of Bradford’s,a few minutes after he had fallen from the buggy.Mr.Rey- nolds,of the Bradford community, discovered the body in the road and called to Mr.Lackey to bring a light. Mr.Morrison was immediately recog- nized by.Mr.Lackey,who quickly no- tified Mr,E.D.Brady at Bradford’s and asked that Mr.Brady notify Mrs Morrison and call a physician.Dr. E.E.Little was at Bradford’s at the time and he went immediately in his machine to the home of Mr.Lackey, to which Mr.Morrison’s body had been carried.As Mr-Brady went in- to the home of Mr.Morrison to noti- fy his wife he noticed Mr.Morrison’s horse and buggy going into the barn yard.It was known by this that Mr. Morrison had fallen from the buggy only a few minutes previously. Mr.Morrison’s body was still warm when Dr.Little reached him,but life was extinct The physician stated that death came suddenly from heart failure.Mr.Morrison had a_very high blood pressure and had recently consulted Dr.Little about his condi- tion.The only marks on the body were a slight bruise on the side of his head and the prints of the wheel of the buggy,which passed over it. When iphysician had finished his examination the body was taken to the home of the deceasedand pre- pared for burial.Funeral services were conducted at New Stirling church yesterday afternoon and the body will be shipped today to Mon- mouth,DL,for burial.Rev.J.H.

Three years ago Mr.Morrisonbought a home near Taylorsville and locat- ed there He taught school and preached as he had opportunity.A year ago he joined the Associate Re- formed Presbytery by certificate from the United Presbyterian Church and was made stated supply for New Stirling church.He continued to live at Taylorsville until six weeks ago, when he moved to the New Stirling manse at Bradford’s.; (Mr.Morrison was twice married, his first wife being an Ohio lady.His second wife was Miss Vina McGary of Pennsylvania.Miss McGary went to India as a missionary in 1889 and mattied Mr.Morrison in that country in 1892.Surviving besides Mrs-Mor- rison are three children.One son by the first marriage lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.The children by the second maftiage are Miss.Marion Morrison, who is at home,and Mr.William Mor- rison,who is in school in Illinois.

Good Results of the Christmas Sav- ings Club. The Christmas Savings Club of the Merchants &Farmers’Bank of Statesville,which opened last March, will mature December 14th,at which time the bank will deliver to the members of the club about $5,000 in Christmas savings.Several hundred vsons joined the club and the ma- Jority 0!pa these have kept up their nts,though a few have drop- Coe out entirely.Those who have met their payments regularly will re- ceive interest on their savings.The forthation of the club has greatly stimulated.the savings idea among the members and has served in an ed- ueational way along this line.Quite a number of the members of the club who Rave saved-from $15 to $40 havay already expressed their intention not’ to spend their money when they re- ceive it,but will transfer it to the regular savings department of the bank and continue to add to it.The bank will endeavor to get other mem- bers to use their Christmas savings as a “nest egg”for a regular sav- ings account.

THEY FIRED ON A LAUNCH. The Heathes Turks Trying to Pto- voke Us Into a Row.. "The United,States government has directed Ambassador Henry Morgan- thau at Constantinople to ask an ex- planation of the firing by Turkishlandforcesatalaunchfrom_the American cruiser Tennessee,.pro- ceeding from Vourlah to the Ameri- can consulate at Smyrna,Asia Minor. Seeretary Daniels simultaneously ca- bled the commander of the cruiser North Carolina,-in the Mediter- ranean,to take no action which might embarrass the American government and to await specific instructions from Washington.‘ These steps followed the receipt of a message from Capt.Benton C. Decker,commander of the Tennes- see,paraphrased in this statement from the Navy Department: “Capt.B.C.Decker,in commahd of the Tennessee,wired Secretary Duniels this morning (Wednesday) that while proceeding from Vourlah to Smyrna to make ‘official calls,a ship’s boat was fired at.Decker was anxious for the safety of consulate. The Tennessee proceeded to and left Vourlah at the request of the ambas- gador and is now at anchor in the har- bor of Scio (Chios),Greece,from which place Captain Decker’s tele- gram was sent.Secretary Daniels wired for fuller information.” ,)Aithough without definite details as to just what occurred high officials of the Washington government had no doubt that the incident,no matter where the responsibility lay,would be adjusted promptly through diplomat- ie channels.President Wilson is de- termined that under no circumstan- ces shall the United States be involv- ed in war with Turkey. On account of the slow cable com- munication from Constantinople,no message concerning the incident came from Ambassador Morganthau- Officials declined to believe the fir- ing was an unfriendly or hostile act. Assurances given by the Porte have repeatedly pledged protection and the closest friendship for American citi- zens.However,when the American warships first went to the Mediter- ranean Turkey was at peace.Since then the United States has taken over the diplomatic interests of Great Britain and France with whom the Porte is at war,a circumstance fraught with delicate responsibilities. Efforts on the part of some Moham. medan leaders in Turkey to-start a “holy war”have made Americans as well.as British and French subjects apprehensive. Copy of Ancient Masonic LodgeChar- ter. Dr.P.F.Laugenour has presented the local lodge of Masons a copy of the original charter of Mount Moriah lodge of Masons,established in Statesville in 1802.Mr.Frank S Carden,a lawyer of Chattanooga, Tenn.,found the copy among.his old papers and mentioned it to Capt.H.

Complaints About the City Water and the Answer... The Landmark,which is a sort of clearing house for complaints,has been asked to complain about the city water being muddy.Water Su- perintendent Neely says a new pump has been ordered,which is expected to arrive in about three weeks,which will settle the muddy water trouble at the pump station;that sediment in the water mains,which the high pressure stirs up,is partially respon- sible for the discolored water. There has also.been complaint about low pressure.The superin- tendent says the pressure is lower in rainy weather because it takes long- er to filter the water and the stand- pipe can’t always be kept full;that the complaint about pressure in busi- ness houses and residences is due to the small pipes which carry the wa- ter into the houses being corroded, for which the city is not responsible. Messrs:Fairbrother and Keuster at the Club This Evening. Commercial club members are an- ticipating a pleasant occasion at the club this evening,the features of which will be talks by Col.Al.Fair- brother of Greensboro and Mr.C.0.

Fairbrother will arrive on the after- noon train from Greensboro and Mr. Keuster will probably make the trip to Statesville during the afternoon in his automobile. Fire at Cotten Mill Scheol House.

Much Fighting But Without Decisive Results. Reports from the war are much the same as they have been for days. There has been fighting virtually all along the front but without apprecia- ble change in the situation. From the coast of Flanders to the river Lys on the Franco.Belgian bor- der,much of which has beer flooded by the allies to hinder German at- tacks,there has been a repetition on a somewhat smaller scale of the bom- bardment which the invaders invaria- bly resort to in the hope.of break- ing ‘down the allies’résistance beforeinfantryatta¢ks and in isolated spots attacks in force,but according to the Freneh and British reports,all these have been repulsed. The Anglo-French forces which have been holding territory around Ypres again have been subjected to determined attacks,fresh German troops having attempted to force the allies out of their trenches. As was the case with the Prussian Guard,the Germans who made thelatesteffortappeartohavetakenthe first line of trenches but,like theguards,were compelled to give back the ground after holding it for a short time. Both sides,as shown by casualty lists,are losing heavily,but the Ger- mans,on the offensive and so often enfiladed after success was nearly in their hands,are said to have suffer- ed enormously. In the east the Germans and the Austrians have turned,after their re- treat,to face the Russians in East Prussia.in Poland and before Cra- cow.Each of these regions prob- ably will provide a big battle,but the most important will be that in Poland,.whepe the Germans are send-ing their strongest and best armies Concerning’the fighting in the Bal- kans and the Near East,only scraps of information reach the outside world.In South Africa General Louis Botha,commander-in-chief of the defense forces,reports the break- ing up of additional rebel commandos arid the capture of guns,ammunition and provisions. Rock Spring Transferred to Shelby District. At the recent meeting of the Western North Carolina Methodist Conference Rock Spring circuit, which has been attached to States- ville district,was transferred to Shelby district—and thereby hangs a tale.There has been a good deal offrictionabouttheRockSpringcamp- meeting.Presiding Elder Mann,of Statesville district,thought the campmeeting should be discontinued and in this he had many supporters. The past summer and-the summer before the presiding elder and the circuit stewards decided that no campmeeting -should“be held,but those who wanted the campmeeting, and their name is legion,secured preachers and meetings were held. This accounts for the change of Rock Spring circuit to Shelby dis- trict.Rumor has it that the first plan was to change presiding elder and Dr.J.C.Rowe was slated for Statesville district;then the prob- lem was solved by transferring Rock Spring to the Shelby district, af which Rev.J.R,Scroggs is pre- siding elder. Salisbury Won the Basketball Game. The basketball game played in the armory last night resulted in a vic- tory for Salisbury by a score of 42 to 35.The game was intetesting and was enjoyed by a large crowd.Salis- bury has a good team,all the mem- bers being trained college players, and their work was good:The home team did remarkably well,consider- ing that it had had only’one week’s training. ‘The line-up of the teams was as follows:Salisbury—Reid Goodson right forward,Ollie MrQuage left forward,Hubert Worth center,Ralph Horton right guard,Walter Carter left guard,R.P.Rees substitute for Worth.Statesville—Lewis McDuffie right forward,Ralph Gill left for- ward,Godfrey Kimball center,John Guy left guard,Hurst Turner right guard,Carlton Andrews substitute for Turner.> \(Carter is ¢aptain of the Salisbury team and Gill is captain of the States- ville team.L.J.Freel of Statesville was referee of the game and C.Ben- son of Salisbury umpite- Church News: The Ministerial Association of Statesville will meet Monday morn- ine at 10:30 o'clock in Rev.J.F.

To the latter was left,necessarily, the matter of levying taxes,passing| ordinances and auditing accounts—| checking up the general manager.At, the beginning of each year he makes a detailed estimate of the needs of all city departments;at the close of each year he is required to make to the city council an itemized and de- tailed report of all work done and of every cent expended through the year;the cost of each piece of work is kept separate;an account of every transaction is systematically kept.

Col.Fairbrother,editor of Every- thing,Greensboro,was presented by R-R.Clark.The colonel mixes much humor with his talk and the audience enjoyed him.He said as he had ney- er made a talk along constructivelinesoffhandhehad-put down in black and white what he wanted to say,because some time he might be called on to prove his assertions,He talked once before’the »Merchants’Association of Greensboro and the boys told so many things he didn’t say,for this occasion he had put down what he was going to ‘say and if necessary would leave the record with The Landmark so that the rec- ord might be printed if necessary to defend his statements.Telling of his experience in talks elsewhere on similar lines,and along with this some good stories that kept the au- dience laughing,Col.Fairbrother got down to business by saying a com- mercial club is as important to an ambitious town as a church,a school house,a newspaper,but it must not be too ambitious.Greensboro had one that put the town on the laugh- jing list because an ambitious seere- tary over-reached himself-Greens- boro now has a club conducted on lines of reason and intelligence,one that is doing constructive work,and the town is growing.“A commer-cial club,”continued Col.Fairbroth- er,“is to the business world what a primary school is to the infant—it ‘teaches him his letters,”Mr.Gil- bert may labor in Statesville for five years,Mr.Ausley may entertain ahundredpropositionsfrompeople casting about,and if you go out and ask a dozen individuals,‘What has the Commercial club accomplished?’ nine of them may indifferently say. ‘Nothing.’.If you dispute them they will say ‘Show me,”and you tan't perhaps put your finger on a single thing that the club.did in a material; tangible.way;and yet it may have heen the means indirectly of bring- ing many enterprises to your town or—listen to me here—{t may haye been the means of bringing hope for many good citizens who might have left to seek fields which looked on pa- per more inviting. **+** “There are no commercial clubs in a cemetery.Live men seek live towns,and an indication of life,al- ways,is a commercial club that is out fighting for new enterprises,for new citizens.The commercial club is a guarantee that a town is ambi- tious;that it isn’t ashamed of it- self;that it doesn’t want to hide it: light under a bushel;that it is will- ing and anxious for the world to know that on the map there is such a town,and that town is audacious enough to assert that it has possibil- ities and it wants people—ilive peo ple—to come and help develop its resources or shafé,what has been de- veloped. “The commercial club,is the clear-ing house.It is equipped to do things.It assumes the responsibil! tv of all the citizens,the individ- in collecting facts and in dis- . uals, tributing facts.The secretary of your commercial club can tell the home-seeker more authentic facts in a minute than a hundred citizens can guess at in a week.” Contending.that dollars are not all,and asking why the citizens should demand.of this Commercial club if it had landed in Statesville vesterday an enterprise that would lump.into Statesville “steen or more thousand dirty dollars,”Col.Fair- brother continued: “Hear me and believe me.There are more sacred things,there are more desired things than the dirty dollars which the mints do coin.With a commercial club—an organization —Statesville can say first for itself, and then to the whole world,we have here a civic league;we have here a dozen different organizations,each one helpful to the town—but all of them the result of what the Commer- cial club did—decause the Commer- cial club gave to the others a mora! support and the Commercial club had jts life,tis beginning and its exist-nce,and praise God,the hope of its end,the only dream that finds com-plete justification in the cause of men «that “we have helped one another.”And if a commercial club were organ- ized tomorrow and maintained for athousandyearsanditdidnothingbat furnish the fact of its existence in the town and for the town—it were well worth while.” Arguing further that the god ofgoldisnot‘all,Col.Fairbrother said further:“But six thousand years ago gold was the god—and shame a it saidin.many minds it is the god today4)Not how much pereres Benot oe leonyflowergardensarebrFyipshothowmanromearyD1 THE NEWS OFF TAYLORSVILLE.

Talk of Changing Presiding Elders Not Due to Reck Spring. The Landmark’s story of thechangeofRockSpringcircuitfrom Statesville district to Shelby district,at the recent Methodist Confreence in Shelby,and the talk of changing pre-siding elders,was correct except that a wrong inference was conveyed as to Presiding Elder Mann.The talk of sending Dr.J.C.Rowe to this district as presiding elder was not on account of the Rock Spring camp-meeting trouble. Two months ago Pyrandine Elder Mann decided to ask for the transfer of Rock Spring circuit from the Statesville to the Shelby district,and ve made the motion for the transfer n Wednesday,the first day of Con- ference.Friends of Dr.Rowe were endeavoring to place him on district work and Friday following,two days after Presiding Elder Mann had ask ed for the transfer of Rock Spring ircuit,Dr.Rowe was discussed in onnection with this district.but this had no connection with the Rock “pring matter.

PHE ELKIN AND ALLEGHANY. 'With reference to the exceptions of Mr.C.B.Penney,general mana- .ger of the Elkin and Alleghany rail- road,to statements in the Landmark concerning that road,it is proper to say that The Landmark’s statement was based on a report of conditions January 1,1914;at which time the Elkin &Alleghany railroad had 16 miles of road completed and in oper- ation,from Elkin to the foot of the/| Blue Ridge mountains,and about two additional miles graded,upon which se that God Almighty has“not wiped outthewholeshootingmatchwhenthere has been so much complaining andtong-facedness here in a”land opeaceandplenty,a land in which theearthhasbroughtforthabundantly)and yielded bountifully at every;der of the his home in Asheville last week.Hi ‘he had lived in Asheville for som: }time.; Wilkesboro Patriot:The receat orPostofficeDepartmenttouch,that’s why.Thankful that we which changed the rural route fron |Jennings so as to omit Lovelace postarenotdead“nor damned and that |office,has inconvenienced.a largweliveintheUnitedStatesof a more God-favored country is to die,tory affected by the change: that’s why-—Monroe Enquirer.| The Landmark has often thought |Laceo at Greenville and was on hi that the strongest evidence of the’ the Adare Gaszette.News,died a’| |home was in Birmingham,«Ala,,bu’| +-ortugal.America,and the only way to get to;wumber of citizens living in the terri | Chas.Mozingo sold a load of.to {|,few days ego,in a long distance},i way home when he was attacked b:, r UR pe:uAtriefResumeofriousParts of the World.

The Landmark has stated in each of the articles written about this matter that objection is not offered to the sending of State convicts to any of the lines_that have been help- eti—the Elkin and Alleghany,Wa-) tauga river,or Henderson county turnpike.The objection is to giving} all the convicts to these lines and} none to the Air Line By the way,; the statement in The Landmark ‘that! the law,so far as can be discovered,|authorizes the State to furnish only|100 convicts to the Elkin and Alle-|ghany while the road now has 225, has not been denied.How about! this,and why the discrimination) against the Air Line?{ Recent reports from Bremen,Ger- many,show that the price of cotton at Bremen was the rise of 18 cents a pound and at other points in Ger- many the price was as high as 2) cents.This ‘is of course due to the war,conditions until recently pre- venting Germany importing cotton.) The same report said prices would drop if new cotton arrived in any| quantity,and since cotton is now be- ing sent to Germany the price will| naturally drop,the quotations men- tioned being famine prices.But if | the price was to stand at 18 to 21) cents in Germany it would not ben-| efit American cotton growers:You! remember what the fellow said he| could get for the bucket of water if!he had it at a certain place. There is much talk and some ef-| fort is being made to secure Belgian *immigrants for the South.Thousands! |their man: |frauds are to be threshed out in the |admitted. |crimination in the amendment vote about Randolph county.They allege irregularities in seven of the 21 pre- |cincts of the county;allege that in three instances,more ballots were in the box than names on the poll baok, and that in one instance an attempt was made to pad the poll book.In Randolph the Democratic and Repub- lican candidates for clerk tied and the county election board,composed of two Democrats ari@ a Republican, nagurally brokesthe tie iri favor of the Democrats:Republicans in the ma- jority would have done the same for As the aliered Randotph courts The Landmark hopes the Dem- ocrats will be,able-te make a clean showing.If they can’t they deserve to be exposed and punished.The day has passed for ballot box frauds to be |countenanced. Anent The Landmark’s commenda- tion of the intelligence and discrimi- nation displayed by the Iredell sov- ereigns in voting on the amendments, the North Wilkesboro Hustler is dis- posed to dissent.It doesn’t think the Iredell people were very discrimi- nating when they voter Gown the tax amendment and then.voted for a six months’school.Bad judgment,it is It’s useless to ask for sir months’schools without providing the means to pay for them;and the means can’t be provided without rais- ing taxes unreasonably unless meas- ures.are taken to put on the tax books the property that is not bear- ing its share of the burden and the| property escaping all taxation.But the people of Iredell,we contend, showed unusual intelligence and dis- Aascomparedwithmanyothercoun- ties.They didn’t blindly vote against all amendments because they opposed some;nor for all because they favored some.They voted for what they wanted,and against what they did not want. rte neerennesneered Our New American Marine.

We're wishing himwell now snd bear) n¢malice.} But The Landmark could congratu-| late His Honor more heartily if he) had not so recently manifested a dis-| position to have his own way small matter,regardless.He wanted walk laid across the capitol grounds | in Raleigh because,he said,it would| save him a few steps in going toand| from the Supreme Court room.The) ladies interested,the landscape gard.| net and the council-of State,the lat-| ter having contro!of the grounds,ob- jected to the walk.Then the Chief, Justice did something that wouldn’t be pretty for a much smaller individ- val to do,and that should be impossi-| ble for one in his position,He start-| ed walking across the grass where he wanted the walk laid,the passersby followed and they made a path.Then the Chief Justice said the path nad been.made and the walk should be laid;that the ‘people were going that | way.anyhow and they might as well have the walk;and the walk was ordeted laid-The Chief Justice,de-/ termined to have his way,regard- less.of the wishes or opinions of oth-| erg,ran over the council of State and all:objectors,including the Govern-| or of the State,and got the walk laid ‘where he wanted it.| What the countil of State should, have done was to stop the walking across the grass where it didn’t want) @ardlk.It had the power to compel | people to keep off the grass and keep onthe walks as laid;and if the Chief Justice persisted in walking that way he should have been haled to court aud put in jail,if that was necessa- ry.to impress on him his duty in obeying the regulations made and povided,just as .would have been ddne in the case of Tom Jones or any other humble citizen.How does it strike one anyhow,for the head of a great court,who hands down the law for others,to refuse to abide regula-| tions which don’t please him;to re- fiike that obedience to authority which he must exact from others or his occupation would be gone? Later—After the above was put in type.it was learned that members of the Raleigh womans’club,the Daugh- ters of the Confederccy and other) women’s organizations of Raleigh) gave the council of State a set-to Sat-) urday and got the order for the walk| héld up until yesterday.The artist) who designed the monument to the/a great deal of interest of the way. women of the Confederacy,locatedon! the capitol square,says it will detract from the monument and the grounds j vhere- South American trade we are to get. as a result of the European war—the)sent thei +|trade that formerly went to.Europe —tand a Statesville man is now.in| infantry at ut for the last three days the fighting has been mile compared with ithe.fierceness of that which for more than a month preceded it.

McLaughlin to the Civic League,to) establish Arbor Day in Statesville,| it appears that the Civic League of Spartanburg,S C.,inaugurated a tree-planting campaign this fall.The mayor of Spartanburg co-operated with the League in its plans to have trees planted .on every,residence street and the city.furnished ‘the trees and placed’them without -cost to-the property owner.Before be- ginning the tree-planting campaign a | landscape gardner was secured to go over the city with the city en- gineer,with a view to adopting a uniform.plan for beautifying the city. The Landmark passes this tip to the Statesville Civic League.If they inaugurate a tree-planting campaign they should securé the ed-operation of the city authorities,not only for the help they can get from them in plant- ing the trees but in caring for them after they are planted.It is an un- certain proposition to plant a tree on the street in Statesville unless some- body is to exercise a sort of control over it.The ungoverned children of the neighborhood or the vicious idler! who passes by may destroy it.Un- less somebody is to make trouble for the thoughtless and the vicious,the tree planted on.the streets stands a poor show to live.

At the conclusion of the literary programme Mrs-Carlton invited her guests to the dining room,whore a table exquisite in hand embroidcred lunch cloth and center-piece of scar- let geraniums,was beautiful indeed At each place was a small box filled with bon-bons,this béing in the shapelofabookandmarked“Fiction.”The place cards were deccrated with atinyflagandapictureofSirWalter ;Seott on the cover,while just inside japt.quotations from Seott were|found,together with a picture of his home—A4 bbotsford.Really it seems almost impossibié even to think of a happier entertoin- tment,a more delightful menu of salad,hot rolls,coffee, sweet pickles,candies,nuts, m more charming hostess.

Correspondence of The Landmark. Elkin,Nov.18—Ever since th: war broke out we have been readingandtryingtokeepupwiththesitu- ation and the cotton situation has pecially attracted ovr attentoin.We have not forgotten how all the farm- ers’organizations for years past,and 1ll the agricultual papers and the press generally,have reasoned with persuaded and warned the farmers to curtail cotton and make more hog and hominy,and in spite of all this theyjhaveraisedmorethisyearthanev- er.And now we are wondering.iftheywillprofitbythelessonthey nave paid millions of dollars to learn and make something else besides cot- ton,where the cotton grows.Had they observed instructions and the warnings they have had and obeyed their own better judgment,they would have been in much better con- dition today than they are,for after all the main thing that-ig the mat- ter now is that there is too much sotton in the world. ‘The conditions that are existing now makes us glad that wé live in asectionwherethecropisdiversified. Of course no cotton is raised here but lots of vegetables,wheat,corn, rye,oats and buckwheat and a lot of tobacco,There have-been two large warehouses opened here this’season for the sale of leaf tobacco and the market has been a success fromthe |} beginning.While tobacco is com. paratively low yet,with the different things raised in this section,and especally the great fruit crop that.is being harvested,Elkin has but slightly felt the.business depression |we have heard so much about;and in this fall in the history of the town.However,this is inflyenced by local| conditions which has its bearing to #some extent,ae nevertheless.busi-|ness is ooElkin nde the greatest prog- ress.this year of any year of its his-(tory.A waterand willbe tasheahiee:Theseteeg Ce Grade Pharr.| Raymond Slean‘ Frank Elliott was Mr,} He entered by} maid of honor,entered!

The ministers of the-county will see that the poor creatures,who have of- fended against the laws of man and whose liberties have,for:the time, been taken away,do not suffer for want of spiritual advice.A)prison should be a place in which to reform the wayward and criminal classes, and some effort should be made to instruet them in the duties of good citizenship while.they are in prison.

The Landmark has no disposition to contend about the number of alder- men.It has suggested the reduction for the reasons mentioned,but it is perfectly aware that a fewer number could ‘queer the proposition by refus- ing to allow the manager to do bus- iness in a business manner,as well as a larger number.So it all comes down to this:It depends on the men who are to employ the manager whether the plan succeeds-.In ~se- lecting aldermen,therefore,men large discretion.|such relief:as the faets warrant. to do|country one would think football the}:e|proper training for’a’soldier and |that even those who witnessed the |game would be so.enthused thet ‘they| would enlist on the spot.

'aw for the management of co-opera- tive enterprises and that our State council push this proposition to suc-cess.—.“= 3.That we earnestly reiterate our) endorsement of the following plan adopted at our last session,urging land segregation between the races, and urge our Loca!Unions to help bring it about,towit:That whérever the greater portion of the land acre-age in any community is owned by ne race,a majority of the voters of that race may say,if they wish,that n future no land shall be sold to per- ons of a different race,provided such action is approved by a review- ing judge or board of commissioners 2s being necessary to their peace, safety and the protection of their so- tial life.74.We believe the burdens of taxa- tion should be taken off ‘labor and thrift and imposed upon inheritances and unearned incomes.We urge therefore that the North Carolina in- heritance tax law be made similar that of Wisconsin and Kansas, 5.We urge that party converitions Se held at seasons convenient.to’our farmers so that they may be proper- ly represented,and ‘that they /i/ghall| hereafter exert themselves.to.see| that farmers have «tequate‘and ef. ficient representation on all -plat-form “Committees:vent »Smith-Lever BL Whereas»,By a recent act of United States Congiess,known as the Smith-Lever act,a large sum of! money has been appropriated to en-!able cach:Gimte to any information WETECT home seience matters,directly to far- mers and to farm women by means/# of extension and demonstration serv- ice;and,Whereas,for the farmers and’ their wives this is one of the most materially helpful acts that Congress has passed in years and will aia in every way the farm home;ard, Whereas,it will be necessary in or- der that North Carolina may get its full share of this important appro-| ~~riation that the State should appro-| vriate an equal sum,therefore be it Resolved,by .the Staté Farmers’ Union,that we jurge our Legislature by all means to appropriate enough money for the farmers to secure the State’s full share of this congression- al appropriation,and instruct our‘ committees to do all in their power to secure the passage of such an act. For Mutual Fire Insurance. Whereas,fire insurance has _be- come to be one of the necessities that every farmer should carefully consider;and,whereas,it has been shown by more than 25 years of suc- cessful operation in North Carolina. that the Farmers’Mutual Fire In- surance Association has proved to be the cheapest fire ,insurance ever of- fered to our farmers, Resolved,by the ‘State Farmers’ Union,that we commend fhe _Farm- ers’Mutual Fire Insurance Assacia- tion of North Carolina to our mem- bership throughout the State,and also to all North Carolina farmers. For Repeal of Crop Lien Law. Whereas,we are conscious of the necessity of an adequate system of rural credits,this being the only great civilized country that is with- out some form of rural credits;and further,that our prestnt form of le- galized rural credits in North Caro- lina,costing as it does from 50 to 100 per cent tq those who are in the habit of using it,is doing more than anything else to perpetuate and_in- crease tenantry in the State;there- fore be it Resolved,That we ask the Lezgisla-ture to repeal the law providing for the present crop lien system of rural credits,said law to become effective one year after date of enactment.
