In Lorraine and in the Vosges there has been no change in the sit-uation.Here,too,the armies secm to be awaiting the result of the greater contest going on further west where,British military experts be- lieve,the allies at last,have set the claws of their left in the German right wing under General von Kluck.The Russian armies continue tosweepthroughGaliciaandaccord- ing to a report from Rome,that pro- vince of the Austrian Empire is clear of Austrian troops.What is meant isthatthefieldarmiesofAustriaeitherhavegoneintothefortressesofPrzemys!and Cracow or retreated to the south and west.The Russians have come across thecountryingreatparalellinesand, masking.Przemysl,have swept.the country in great paralel lines drawnfromDiouklo,in the south,to theneighborhoodofRzeszow,in thenorth,while other forces have pushed their way through the passes of the Carpathians into Hungary.They only have to go a little farther togetpossessionoftherailwaythat runs from Sandec-through the moun- tain,to Lublaw-and thence through the heart of.the country to Buda- pest.; :If they accomplish this they will be able to join hands with the army approaching Cracow.Aiecording to Petrograd correspondents they in- terid to treat Cracow as.they did Przemys!and continue their.march into Silesia.In the meantime they have fora week been fighting the Geitmans g.tha river Niemen, between Kovono and Grodo and thus far have held them in check, while reinforcements have.been reaching them.The battle is de- seribed as a furious one but no de- tails have been allowed to leak out.

No Brandy Distitleries Bonded in ThisDistrict. The Salisbury Post of Wednesday carried a story to the effect that a number of Ashe county apple.grow- ers applied to Collector Watts a few days ago and had stills bonded to make brandy;that the collector could not refuse to bond them.“It is safetosay,”continues the Post,“that asaresultofthistherearenowinop-eration in Ashe,and possibly other western counties,a number of bran- dy distilleries turning out —the product in large quantities.”The Landmark will say for the in- formation of the Post that if any brandy distilleries are in operation in this district they are operating in violation of Federal as well as State law.No brandy distilleries have been bonded in this district since State-wide prohibition became effec- tive,and no application.has been made to Collector Watts for this pur- se,The Post is mixed.The newspapors have been talking for two weeks about brandy distilleries in Nash county,bonded by the Federal gov- ernment.Nash is in Collector Bailey’s district,No brandy distiller- ies are running by Federal authority in this district.

THE HOME OF GOV.STOKES. The Historic Mansion in Wilkes Coun- ty is Offered to the State. Wilkesboro Patriot. About four miles west of Wilkes- boro,near Brown’s ford,on a bill that commands a magnificent view of the Yadkin.river valley,stands the old mansion built by Governor Mont- ford Stokes,and oceupied by him for many years,during his eventful and distinguished ‘life.The"building for many years has been more or.less neglected,but is yet in an”excellent state ‘of preservation.Mr.H,J. Steelman is the present owner of the property and-he proposes to turn the property over to the State,if it in turn will care for it and take active steps towards its future preserva- tion.This proposal was made last week, when the historical mansion was visit- ed by Col.Fred A.Olds,a well-known citizen and writer of Raleigh,who paid the place a visit while returning from a visit to Watauga county.Col. Old,proposes to take the matter up with the State Historical Society in an endeavor to have the State or some society take over,restore and preserve the property.In an ol garden,near the mansion,lies buried the body of Governor Stokes’gallant gon,Col.Montford Sidney Stokes. The grave,it is said;has been much neglected,so much so that’its exact location was,if indeed,it is not now,in doubt.The plantation upon which the mansion stands orig- inally embraced nearly.ten thousand acres.Governor Stokes fell heir to practically half of this vast body of land through his wife,Rachel,one of the twin daughters of Hugh Mont- gomery,the titled Englishman who took over the Moravian lands’in this county.The other twin daughter, Rebecca,became the wife of Gen. Wellborn,who,too,had a distinguish. ed civil and military career.Gov, ernor Stokes,it is said,was fond of his home here,and took much delight in tilling the fertile acres of his farm, which he styled “Morne Rouge.”It is to be hoped that the movement to preserve the building may be fully matured and that the mansion may, at thi,opportune time,be secured and handed down as public property.

The Treasury Department had de- posited $18,029,746 in 23 States for fall crop moving purposes up to Sep-, tember 28,according to an announce- ment by Secretary McAdoo.Of this sum Missouri has taken the largest amount,$1,550,000,with Maryland second,$1,450,000.Amounts securedbyotherStatesinclude:North Car- olina $456,250,South Carolina $25,- 000,Tennessee $676;000,Virginia $798,750. Last year the banks in one city in North Carolina took more than a half million of the crop moving fund.This year the banks do not seem anxious for the money,notwithstanding the stringency.

General von Kluck,reinforced with troops from the German Central,can- tinues.te make a determined stand against the attempt of the allies to outflank him. The French,who Sunday officially ¢reported that all German attacks in this region have been repulsed and that the allies had resumed the of- fensive,announced yesterday that the battle to the north of the Oise,which commenced seriously about Septem- ber 25,continues with great violencewith,no decisive result and that atcertainpointstheFrenchtroopshavehadtoyieldground.{The Germans,in their report,saythebattleisproceedingsuccessfully ~sfor_them.TopeBs Le mt ;“Russia reports that the “German army that invaded Russia was de- feated with a loss of 70,000 men andhad.to abandon everything. TRYING TO CUT GERMAN LINE Allies Still Hammering on the SameObjectTheyHayeBeenAttempt-ing For Three Weeks. (Having repulsed the German at- tacks,presumably in the vicinity ‘of Roye,the French,according to an of-ficial communication issued late Sun-day at Paris,have resumed the of-fensive at several points while otner positions on their left have been maintained.The great effort of the allies to en- velop the German right may be said to be in operation again,and it is believed the whole French column from Roye northward to Arras is moving eastward against the German positions.It is the same operation that has been tried repeatedly for the last three weeks in an attempt to reach the German lines 6f communication and either encircle the German army forming the right wing or force it to fall back to Belgium and Luxem- nthe Germans have had a long time in which to make their position se- cure,80there is a lot of hard fighting ahead for both’the 2ttacking forces and the defenses.The defensive role is apparently being assumed by the invade:rs. :Watching Game. Inthe center from the Oise to the ‘Argonne,the two’well entrenched armies still are watching each other, ready at a moment’s notice to meet attacks,or,on the advice of nerial observers,to move to some point where the line is threatened.While there have been many of these move- ments there is little according to the French report,to record.In other words,the situation remains virtual- ly as it was.In the Argonne district where the Crown Prince’s army at- tempted to advance a few days ago, there has been additional fighting and the Germans have been pushed back northward.In southern Woevre the French are “making progress but slowly,”against the Germans who crossed the Meuse at St.Mihiel but that later were forced back over river.4 In Lorraine and Vosges there is no change in the positions of the oppos- ing armies.This probably ig account- ed for by the fact that the Germans have not sufficient forces to attack the almost impregnable line of forti- fications,while the French are too busy elsewhere to attempt an invasion of the lost provinces.They have set themselves the task of getting the Germans out of northeastern France, and if this can be accomplished they are faced with the necessity of at- tacking the German positions in Al- sace-Lorraine. Forts at Antwerp in Doubt. Of ‘the result of the operations arotind the line of fortifications of Antwerp there is considerable mys- tery.Saturday night the Belgian le- gation at London announced the Bel- gians had been compelled before ‘a violent artillery attack to fall back east of the river Senne toward the Nethe.This was taken to mean that some of the forts had fallen and the German official report issued Sunday asserted that forts Lierre,Waelhem and Koningshoyrck had been taken with redoubts and earthworks and that the Germans had entered the line of forts through the breaclies. Later:the.Belgian.minister in Lon- don,on authority of a telegram from Antwerp,declared the forts had not been captured,although Waelhem was damaged The battle is still raging along the east Prussian frontier and,according to Berlin reports,the Germans have seored a victory over the Russians who had pierced their center at Au- gustowo,~ The battle of Cracow ig developing more slowly than anticipated,or at all)events nothing has come through from either side as to the happenings in.that field of operations. :Rulers at Front.

Railway Conductor John Smithson,of Knoxville,Tenn.,a’brother.of Mr. W.N.Smithson of Statesville,wasshottodeathbyanegrohoboatMor- ristown,Tenn.,Thursday morning about 3 o’clock.Conductor Smithson, whose regular run was on a passen-ger train,had been placed in charge of a fast freight ‘and the hobo who killed him was beating a ride on his train.The train slowed down at Mor-ristown for orderg and after leavingMorristowntheathertrainmencouldnotfindtheconductor.It was recall-ed by the trainmen.that a number of negro hobos hdd been discovered onthetrainandConductorSmithsonhadtoldthemtheymustgetoffatMor- ristown.The trainmen wired to therailwayofficialsatMorristown—toboeavenfor+Mr--“Smithson—and~the’ result was the discovery of the conductor’s body on the Morristown yards.He had two bullet holesthroughhisbody.Beside his bodywashisrailwaylanternwhichwas badly battered,indicating a struggle. The railway company,immediately ordered the arrest of all hobos and tramps found on the trains or at nearby stations and during the day several arrests were made.Accord- ing to newspaper ¢lippings received in Statesville one of the negroes’ar- rested confessed that he killed the conductor when the latter put him off the train.There were two or three of the negroes and the confessed mur- derer stated that Mr.Smithson abus- ed them and beat them with his lan- tern when they refused to get off the train,whereupon he was shot to death.Mr.Smithson had been in the rail- way service for 17 years and was con” sidered one of the best conductors on the road.He leaves a wife and three children.Mr.W.N.Smithson went to Knoxville Thursday afternoon in response to.a telegram telling of his brother’s death. The Democratic Meeting Friday. Considerable preparation is being made for the Democratic meeting Friday,9th,when Gov.Craig will speak.Congressman Doughton will be present if he is able to leave Wash- ington at that time. The Governor will speak in the court house at 11 o’clock and he willdounsigrshavealargecrowdtohear im.Immediately after the Governor's address a barbecue,which will be in charge of a committee of ladies,will be served at the Planter’s Warehouse. Mr.R.B.Leinster is in charge of the arrangements for the barbecue. The Mechanics’band will furnish music for the gathering. Italy May Become Involved. In both Italy and Roumania a con- siderable difference of opinion has arisen as to what steps,if any,the governments should take regarding the war.Some are for war and others for a continuation of neutrali- ty. If a report coming from Rome, that Italian sailors have occupied Aviona,is true,Italy has taken ac-tion which will almost certainly in- volve her.Aviona,the “Gibraltar” of the Adriatic,has long been covet- ed by both Italy and Austria.During the war between Italy and Turkey,it was the scene of a daring exploit by the Italian navy under the Duke of the Abruzzi.: The jealousy of Austria was im- mediatély aroused and as a result an agreement was reached whereby Tur- key’s European possessions were im- mune from attack.The intensity of Austrian feeling also was manifested during the Balkan war and Austro- {talian occupation of the port was talked of.7 ‘ The friends of Mrs.Geo.B.Nichol- sdn will be pleased to learn that sev- eral poems written by her have been accepted by the John F.Hall Music Publishing Co.of New York and that one has been set to ‘music by Mr. Chester Earle,a well-known compos- er.This song is published and sold by the company and_local critics speak very favorably of it.It is entitled “Daddy in Heaven,”and is dedicated to Mr.Nicholson,who died some years ago.For several years Mrs.Nicholson’s writings and compilations have beenacceptedandpaidforbytheNation- al Pure Food Magazine and the Cot- ton.Reporter of Boston. ~The bubonic plague still lingers at New Orleans.A Chinaman .died ofthediseaseSunday.He is the tenthvictim@f¢the thirteenth case sincethediseasewasdiscoveredJune27, The first cotton gin accident of theseasonisreportedfromWilson.Mr.Geo.Thompson’s right hand and armwerebadlymutilatedbycomingin contact with the saws.

NO TAX ON THE MEAT DEALERS ‘Aldermen Repeal the License Tax—Carnival Allowed to Come—South-ern Railway Permitted te ConneetWithWaterSystem—Other Busi- ness Before the Aldermen.. The first action of the board of al- dermen at its regular monthly meet- ing Friday night was to grant ty mission for a carnival cabaltoexhibitinStatesvillenextweekundertheauspicesofthe.firemen.The aldermen had at first.refused toallowthecarnivaltoexhibitinnibutitdevelopedthatthecarnipeoplehadrentedgroundsjustout-side the corporate limits >and were billing the town for an.exhibition there next week.The firemen took the matter up with the business menandaldermenanditwasdecidedthat if the carnival was going to appear here,it might as well be allowed toeomeintotown,in which event a li-reense tax rout be conected ana Bbthesametimethefiremenwouldre-ceive a per centage of the proceedsofthecarnival.A number of mereliantsandotherssignedapetitionaskingthat.the carnival be allowed to exhib-it within the corporate limits and the aldermen yielded to the petition- ers.It might be mentioned in this connection that the Iredell Poultry Association had a proposition from a carnival company to exhibit here un- der the auspices of the association, which would have received under the contract an amount sufficient to meet the indebtedness of the association caused by the heavy expenses of the past two poultry shows.But when the officers of the assdciation ap- proached some of the aldermen they found them unfriendly to the carnival and the matter was d In fact two of the aldermen offered to make cash contributions to the Poultry Association to help meet its deficit rather than have the carnival The firemen assured the aldermen that if they were allowed to have the carnival next week,the city would not be asked for an appropriation next year}for the fire company’s expenses.j ‘Another important action of the al- dermen Friday night was the repeal of the ordinance taxing meat deal- ers.After October 20th all persong will be allowed to sell fresh meats in the city without paying a license tax,regardless of whether the meat is the product of the seller.Some, arrangements will be made for the inspection of beef before it is offered for sale.: The Southern Railway Company was granted permission to connect with the city water mains on.condi- ticn that it furnish all necessary pip- ing,dig all ditches,furnish a four- inch water meter and do all work under the direction of the city plumb- er.The regular charge made for wa- ter is to be paid by the railroad. For some time the Southern’s water supply for locomotives has been in- sufficient and:-at times trains have been supplied from hydrants near the station.The railway company offer- ed to settle immediately for all wa- ter used in the past and the city wa- ter works superintendent was in- structed to furnish the company with a statement of its account. The ‘matter of purchasing an ap- paratus ‘for charging the batteries of the motor.fire truck was referred to the chairman of the fire committee. Additional electric lights were or- dered installed in the back lots and on Cemetery street,at the discretion of the light committee. An application from Mr.D.0. Cowan for a sewer line from his res- idence to Salisbury street was grant- ed on condition that he pay the ex- penses of making the connection,the amount to be refunded in water rents.Sewer connections were or- dered made at Billingsley hospital. The new city scales near the old electric light station were reported ready for use and Mr.John A.Walk- er was elected city weigher. Mutual Building and Loan Stockhold- ers Meet, Gratifying reports.of the past year’s business of the Mutual Build- ing and Loan Association were heard by the stockholders of the associa- tion at their annual meéting Friday night.The association has been in existence only three years and thé report of the auditing company which goes over the books once 2 year shows that the third year closed with the business in good shape and assets to the amount of $54,000.The year was begun with assets amount- ing to $385,000.The association now has 2,600 shares in foree and during the three yeats it has been.in busi- ness it has been strumental in building and repairing 125 houses.

Export trade to Germany prac- tically came to a standstily,while that to France and Great Britain, whose shipping has not been so seri-ously interrupted,showed only a com- paratively small decrease.Trade.to Belgium and that to Argentina,which depends largely on foreign shipping,suffered heavily. The decrease in August’s export trade to Europe as’a whole amountedto.$58,320,619.That represented in a large measure the decrease in cred- it abroad as employed to offset Amer-ican obligations.The falling off in exports reached more than $77,000,- 000.One year ago in..August the total was $187,909,020,compared with $110,369,240 last month.The effect of war upon Americanimporttradewasnotsogreat.Last month it amounted’to $129,767,890, compared with $137,651,553 in Au- gust,1913.The imports from Ger-many and Great Gritain did not show as large a decrease as those fromFrance.The decrease in Europe as a whole was about $17,000,000.Manufactures showed the largestdecreaseinexportsamongthe.vari-ous groups.Foodstuffs almost main- tained their level of one year ago.

Two suits may look very much alike when new,but it'is the honest workmanship,the stitching and the tailoring that cannot be seen,that give permanence and durability not only to the garment itself,but to the grace- ful lines that you admire so much when you first put on your new suit. Wooltex garments are famous for their perfection of style,for the beau- ty of the fabrics used,but especially for the superb tailoring which gives them exquisite lines and the unequalled air of refinement which you see in the garments. The Wooltex Book Called “Style!” Telling you what's correct in Suits and Coats for tall has been mailed to you, but if for any reason you’ve failed to get one just let us know,as we havea limited number yet,and we’ll mail you another copy.

Mr.J.A.Knight of Columbia,S. C.,informed me that a comet is now visible in the morning-—the best timetoseeit.I waited fot personal ac-quaintance with it before reporting itforpublication,and saw this omen of war,distinctly,in the northeast near the Dipper,or the Greater Bear,at5.o’clo¢k in the morning of October 2d,the day The Landmark published its presence and name, I have looked over several lists of comets and failed to,find Delevan’s. Who was or is he?All that .I have found of the name is a half dozen ormoretownsandpostoffices,possibly named after “Delevan”(Bdward C.) editor and total abstinence orator, who erected the Delevan House in Albany,and carried it on according,to temperance principles,Those who see strange things.are often accused of not belonging to the “total abstin- ence”class of people:LaF. Statesville,Oct.3,1914. If LaF.,and a good many other folks for that matter,would read The Landmark more carefully they would know a lot more than they do.The Landmark told about this comet a month ago—in its issue of September 4,to’be exact,when it was explained that this comet was first.seen by Prof.Delevan,of the national obser- vatory.of the-Argentine Republic, South America,last)December.Hence the name of the comet.

The situation as between the Rus- sians and Germans and Austrians is somewhat problematical,but a very frank statement from Berlin admits that the German forces on the fron- tier of East Prussia have assumed a strategical defensive movement and that they abandoned the bombard- ment of Ossowetz,a fortress in Rus- sian Poland.This statement adds that the fight- ing at Augustowo and in Suwalki was of a most sanguinary nature and that while the German machine guns final- jy turned the scale of battle in favor of the Germans the slaughter of the German artillery men was ‘terrific. The movements of the German troops were greatly hampered by the ,hysi- cal condition of the country. The forty-third German casualty list issued at Berlin contains 10.600 names in dead;wounded and missing. Berlin also reports that the fig’ting on the German right wing in Trance has been successful and that in the assault on Antwerp two nore forts have failen into German hands. The Reigian government has been reraoved from Antwerp to Ostend, sevetal of the ministers ani mally thousands of refugees having reached there.The bombardment of Antwerp, it is reported,’already has begun, following a notification from the com- mander of the German troops that non-combatants and others desiring to do so,should withdraw from the city. ‘A British submarine has made:an- other raid close to the German base in the North Sea and has torpedoed a German torpedo-boat destroyer. There is an unconfirmed report that a German.cruiser also was torpedoed. The Japanese have occupied the Island of Yap,of the Caroline group, fe ie Pacific,and at the same time “have notified the State Department at Ww ; that the occupation is ‘eply temporary and solely for mili- *purposes.

The labors of the gentiemen who compiled the handbook are evident- ly not appreciated. Following the call of Col.Geo.Har- vey at the White House,it is said that President Wilson and Col.Hen-ry Watterson have exchanged friend- ly letters.While the peace-making is in progress it would seem proper to call Col.J.C.Hemphill into the group.It will be regalled that Col. Hemphill figured,or attemptid to figure,as an ally of Watterson.when the latter was making war on’Mr. Wilson in’the pre-nomination cam- paign of 1912,-following the breach between Hafvey,Watterson and Wil- gon,Col.Watterson lectured in Charlotte about that time and Col. Hemphill,then editor of the Obser- ver,took quite a hand against Wil- son as an abetter of Watterson.Col. Hemphill has disappeared from pub- lic view recentiy but he should by all means have a share in the reunion. Taking note of the fact that stu- dents of one of the colleges of this State are to be initiated into the Greek letter fraternities,the San- ford Express contends that those fra- ternities should not be allowed in State institutions.That paper says: Greek letter fraternities ought notbeallowedtoexistatanyinstitu-tion of learning that is supported by lic taxation.The day will come—cannot come too soon—when the spirit fostered by most club collegesandfraternitieswillnotbetolerated,and this is not because many men oftheclubsandfraternitiesarenotfinefellowsandbecausetheclubsand fraternities have not in themselvesmuchofvalue,but because they tend to create an artificial distinction andpreventthegrowthoftruedemoc-Yacy,which ought to find its best ex-emplification in our institutions oflearning. _.‘&Republican voter,delivering a load of tumber in Wilkesboro a few days ago,complained of the price and charged that it was due to the Demo- cratic administration,says the North Wilkesboro Hustler.The Hustler .looked into the matter and finds that the rough oak lumber which this man “was selling brought,in 1907-8,dur- ing a ‘Republican\Administration, from $2 to $9 less per thousand than it is selling for now.Whenever a Republican talks about the low price of cotton or lumber being due to a Democratic administration,draw on him the prices of a few years ago, during Republican administrations. The price of cotton in 1911,be it re- membered,was about the same it i *now.; Mr.E.MH Morris,a strong Re- publican and former postmaster at Mocksville,is fighting the Republican machine which controls Davie county politics and is saying some very plain things.He says he was nomi- _nated for the Legislature in the pri- maries in 1910 but was cheated out of the nomination in the convention.The Mocksville Record,which is also op- ‘pe the machine,had this signif-»Seant paragraphinitslastissue: ee will never knowing!Vote for a thief or a drunkard to Bhanyshould:such a man be|in~a Republican conven-es Demo- about the comingelection,they areall,so far as The Landmark knows,supporters of the Wilson administra-tion and of Congressman Dbughton.Whatever disaffection there is is duetolocalmatters.The local ticket is in no danger.It will be elected with- out doubt.But apathy may keep yot- ers from the polls and thereby lose votes for Congressman Doughton. This congressional district is close. It is safe if the Democrats poll their full vote,but they have no votes to lose on-the congressional ticket.The Republicans are making a desperate effort to elect Mr,Linney.The lat- ter is making an active campaign and he has numerous workers.A number of Republican orators are campaign- ing for him.It all means:that Re- publican hope is centered in this dis- trict and the effort to elect a Repub- lican to Congress will be persistent and untiring until election day. The defeat of Mr.Doughton would mean a repudiation of the AVilson ad- ministration so far as this district is concerned;and‘any Democrat who fails to go to the polls and use every effort in behalf of Mr.Doughton,will fail to support the Wilson adminis- pointment a few days ago.. ‘A:resolution endorsing PresidentWilsonandthepoliciesofhisadmin-istration,was offered Charles F.Murphy of Tammany 1 at an or-ganization meeting of the DemocraticcommitteeofNewYorkcountyTues-day night and was adopted wunani-mously, ‘Agents of British ment,it is eePhiladel ee re-ceiving bids from local knitgoodsmanufacturersfor500,000 sweaterssimilartothoserecentlyfurnishedtheUnitedStatesarmy.Dealers arc|being asked to quote figures for thenecessaryyarns.‘ Bheriff Timothy Driscoll and MayorLewis,J.Duncan of Butte,Mont.,were found guilty Tuesday of neglectoftheirdutiesinconnectionwiththerecentminers’riots and removed fromofficebyJudgeRoyeAyersoftheDistrict“Court,after a trial whichJastedmorethantwoweeks.

To the Editor of The Landmark: Allow me to give your readers a few points on the public defender movement,recently launched in Cin- |cinnati,Ohio,and gaining in popular- ity every day, The public defender movement is |just what its name mplies,to-wit: |The establishment of an office forthe |@efense of all persons.charged crime of every kind.,As you all States have public prosecutors and the defender movement is being |pushed to give poor,downtrodden hu- manity a chance in the higher courts. If you have ever visited a session of your Superior Court you have doubtless heard your prosecuting at- torney pleading for the conviction of the defendant with as much zeal as if there were thousands of dollars in- volved.But if the accused be of the lower class,and not able to secure legal talent,though the evidence against him be merely circumstantial, you rarely ever hear of his being adjudged not guilty by the court,for the simple reason that he was with- cut knowledge as to how to defend himself. |For this class the defender move- ment has been launched and I think i should be helped along and given levery encouragement.Biyery word |uttered in its favor means\that much If we can’t help lift up a man when he is down,let’s don’t |prosecute him and send him.still further downward.Write your rep- |resentative to think the matter over, land see what we can do towards this |end,CHAS.H.WEST. |Wilmington,N.C.—_—_—_—_— |Would Have States to Pass Laws Re- |ducing Cotton Acreage.

Realizing that China is helpless,the Japs are paying little attention to China’s protests.‘The Japs have al- so landed a naval force on the Ger- man Pacific islands,which is appar-7 ently contrary to the assurance given the United States government,at the outbreak of the war,that their opera- tions against Germany would be con- fined to the Far East.The United States government is assured,how- ever,that the occupation of these islands is only temporary and solely for military purposes;which 1s all right if they keep faith.|The Greensboro News,which took | notice of The:Landmark’s citations of intellectual dishonesty,in its last issue,and is good enough-to say that the strictures are just,is advised that this paper did not think it had chron- jeled all phases of intellectual dis- honesty by any means.It could hard- ly do that if it pursued the subject from now ‘ill Christmas...And the News is further advised that The Landmark thinks that the attempt to translate criticism of one representa- tive of a party into an attack on the _whole party;and the half-hearted support of a programme to which one is opposed,with.the hope of damning it with faint praise,are glaring in- stances of intellectual dishoncsty. The people guilty of that are as intel- lectually dishonest as the man who says the low price of cotton is due to a Democratic administration,when he knows it isn’t so. The old citizen of Germantown, Pa.,who enjoined that no women should attend his funeral because he ‘didn’t want gossiping over his dead body,had a good knowledge of hu- man nature,but he was hardly fair. Jt is unfair to intimate that the wo- men do all the gossiping;they don’t. Wihile gossiping is more general, probably,among the daughters of tutional amendments -(which -The Landmark thoughta blunder at thetimeandismoreconvinced,as time passes,that a mistake ‘was made), cism of the action of the convention, contended that it was,unwise to make ‘the amendments a party matter,as they “are non-partisan measures,But when a number of Democrats and Re- publicans,who are ardently support- Ning the amendments,met by agree- ment in Raleigh last week and form- ed a non-partisan organization to conduct a non-partisan campaign for the amendments,some of the same people who insisted that the Uemo- cratic State convention was right in not endorsing .the non-partisan amendments,.criticised this meeting of Democrats and Republicans in sup- port of what they hold is non-parti- san matter;and they intimate that no good can come of affiliating with Republicans for any purpose.Indeed some Democrats have intimated that inasmuch as some of the Republicans ard supporting the amendments it would be well for Democrats to let them alone. Some of this is partisan narrow- ness that cannot be fittingly charac- terized in parliamentary “yanviape: but the main purpose is to defeat the amendments while pretending to be for them.The Landmark was frank- ly surprised when the Republican State convention entiorsed even a part of the amendments.It expect- ed Republicans ‘to tell the people to beware of them;that it was a Demo- cratic schema But when the Repub- licans were big enough and broad enough to endorse the main amend- ments,it is amazing to find Demo- crats so small that they would op- pose what is really the work of.their own party because Republicans are willing to accept it. (While tha amendments are non- partisan and can be supported by any and ali citizens,regardless of political affiliation,it was a Democratic State administration and a Democratic Leg- islature that,after facing a deficit in the State’s revenues which has exist- ed for years,for which after many efforts no remedy had been found,de- cided.that it was necessary to amend the constitution;it was the Lezisla- ture and the Governor that appointed the.non-partisan commission %9 pro- pose amendments to the constitution end provided for an extra session of the Legislature to pass on its work. The commission spent several weeks in “discussing the amendments and an ertra session of tae Legislature was called at great expense to pass on-its work..The result was the amendments now before the people. The Landmark is saying the Demo- crats are responsible for the amend- ments in no partisan sense.It is not trying to claim the credit for the party,for Republicans in the Legis- lature and on the commission re- sponded nobly to this apparent need of the State.But it would like to ask those Democrats who profess to be afraid of the amendments because Republicans favor them,if they think a Democratic Governor and a Legis- lature with an overwhelming Demo- cratic majority were a party to put- ting yp a job on the folks?Were a party to spending thousands of dol- lars of the State’s money to put up Eve,some men are as bad as any wo- man could be.But the Germantown man knew,as any observer knows, that many people go to a funeral out| of morbid curiosity.They want to| see how the corpse is dressed,wheth-| er the funeral is expensive or cheap|and how the family take the loss.| All the details are noted and discuss-| ed and the weak/points of the dead| are often a topic.We don’t blame ,the old man for wanting to go to the grave shielded from the view of un- sympathetic eyes.It would be well were it a custom to have funcrals more private;to shut out the curious and the prying and to have only he real friends;to make no parade of .grief;no unnecessary display,when /man goeth to his long home.The :neighbors and friends should show /propey respect and one who has ».wrought well should be honored in his'passing.But this ‘can “he done without the objectionable features mentioned.

Real property,that,is land,and the more tangible forms of personal property,carry the burden of taxa-| tion at present.” Mr.Bailey said he regarded this as accurate statement of the in-/ equalities of our present taxation system.“Now,”said he,“the -pro- posed taxation amendment will give the Legislature -power to reach these intangible forms of property,-and if; the taxation amendment is,:ntelli-| gently opposed,T believe it will be apposed by those who wish intangi- ble properties to continue to escape its share of the common burden of taxation.I cannot see how any own-| er of real estate,or any otHer man/| an How ‘European War Has Affected) Brazil.

Whenever you hear a man talking/| about the government of the United} States and howling hard times,then) just slap him in the face and call him| an ignoramus,for that is what he is.)A person can hardly appreciate the greatness of the United States un-| til he gets off and looks at it.Just) imagine,if you can,getting up some)morning and finding that the United} States government had sent tele- grams during the night to every bankinthecountryorderingthemtore- main closed for 15 days.Aind not only that,but declared a 15 days’holiday so that not a single transaction couldbemadeduringthattime,and then half the trains would stop running and the price of goods jump to dou- ble their regular prices in two orthreedays.-And all because there was a war 6,000 miles away.” nena Thoroughly Considered,Well Recom-mended Raleigh Times. ‘The Times does not beljeve that the people of North Carolin®will refuse to vote for the ten proposed consti-tutional amendments.They are pro- posed for the purpose of helping the State,and they will fill their mission if given a chance.Every amendment should be endorsed and every voter should see to it that his neighbor iswellinformedonthesubjectbefore the election.The time to do this is the present.Afl ten of the amend- ments have passed through two fires, if that term may be used,They were considered by the committee on constitutional amendments and adopt-ed by practically a unanimous vote and,after further consideration and debate,were passed by the GeneralAssembly.The vote here was over-whelmingly in favor of them..Since that time many organizations haveendorsedthem.The people,who have much to gain,will do well té endorse them on election day.

And Help the Fight on Tuberculosis —What Has Been Done in North Carolina. Bulletin State Board of Health. Yuletide wiil n be here.Your letter of good Heer to a friend,or your package that you send asx pres- ent,will not be complete without the Christmas Sticker.The Red Cross Seal is as representative of Christ- mas-tide as any other sticker you can buy.Besides,the entire proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Seals is spent in the fight against tuberculosis. The people in North Carolina who desire to do some.good,who desire to be of service to mankind,bought a rhillion of these Red Cross Seals last year and used them on their letters and packages and the $10,000.00 they paid for them was every bit spent in |North Carolina,fighting tuberculosis. The larger part of the money is used in the community where the seals are bought.In some_places they employed visiting nurses;in oth- ers they sent patients who are una- ble to pay to the State Sanatorium; in others they bought eggs,milk and food for tuberculosis patients who were unable to provide these things. Why buy Christmas Stickers from a corporation when you can do as much good as this with your money? These Red Cross Seals will be on sale in every town and in every communi- ty in the State.Buy them,use them and enjoy the good you can do to others thereby. Dr.L.B.McBrayer,superintendent of the State Sanatorium for Tubercu- losis,has accepted the office of Exe- cutive Secretary of the State Red Cross Seal Committee and will organ- ize the campaign for the sale of Red Cross Seals in North Carolina for this year. More than a million seals were sold in this State last Christmas.It is the plan of Dr.-McBrayer and the Red Cross Seal Committee to sell at least two million thist year.All themoheyderivedfromthesaleofRed Cross Seals in North Carolina is spent in the fight against tubercu- losis in this State.NE Furnish Best Equipped Hospital.

All sorts of plans are suggested to! force curtailment in acreage.The one which seems most feasible is to have the States tax all cotton raised,with emission of the tax where the farm- er plants only a small proportion of his usual acreage. Death of a Prominent Cotton Specu- lator. William P.Brown,who had been connected with some of the most spectacular operations in the history of the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges,died in New Or- leans on the 5th,aged 53.He usual- ly operated with Eugene Scales, James Patten and Frank B.Hayne. Activities in the 1910 crop were tak- )up by the government with the esult that the four “bull”operators were indicted.Patten plead guilty to the charge of conspiring to monop- elize the commodity that year and }paid a fine of $4,000.The pleas of inolo contendere of the others were ac- }eepted later. |“GASCARETS”ALWAYSSTRAIGHTEN YOU UP.

The rapidity with which the French change position is considered remark- able.Two entire divisions of infan- try marched nearly 80 miles Satur- day and 28 miles Sunday.The Ger- mans,however,by means of their aviators who are flitting continually over the lines despite numerous cas- ualties,discovered’the movements and brought .up reinforcements to meet them.As the Germans occupy the inside of the circle,they are able to reach an appointed spot with much shorter marches. It was this that enabled them to force the advanced guards of the al- lies to cede a small amount of ground until further assistance came. At one point on the allies’front,a French regiment,after three days in the trenches,on being ordered to the rear for a rest,sent apetitionthrough their colonel to the commanding gen- also was adopted.Together the pro- taxes on liquors would yield an ‘annual revenue of about $50,000,000,| half the amount it is expected to) raise.The tax on gasoline and the tax of| 50 cents per horsepower on manufac- turers’sales of.automobiles,were stricken out.The tax on banking capital was also reduced from $2 to $1 a $1,000..caucus also eliminated the —tax of $40 on brokers and re- d the stamp tax on Pullman tick- from two cents to one cent.Ef- to impose a stamp tax on bank was voted down.Stamp taxes le instruments,stocks and ids,deeds’and transfers,bills of ng,Fen,oe and steamship tickets and insurance policies are ex- and perfumeries,is ex nce $7,000,000,The iommittee was authorized to revise tax on cigarettes,formerly fixed +the committee at $25 for each) yhanufacturer.It would be graduated| finance to yield $30,000,000,and a yp tax on patent medicines,cos- )prod along the lines of the cigar manufac-| turers’tax,which charges dealers| from $6 to $96 according to the vol-| ume of business.

Democratic Victory in Maine Greater Than First Supposed. Augusta,Me.,Dispatch. Official returns now compiled in the office of the Secretary of State show that the Democratic victory in Maine was more pronounced than was at first supposed.The compilation gives the Democrats control of the Legis- lature on joint ballot for the second time in sixty-five years.The only other time that the Democrats have had a majority in that body was fol- lowing the election of 1910 and their control then resulted in the election of Charles F.Johnson as United States Senator. With Umited States Senators now elected by direct vote of the people the senatorial situation would not.be affected even if there were a Senator to be chosen this year,still the con- trol of the Legislature is of much greater importance than most poeple outside of the State are aware.In Maine all of the State officers,with the exception of the Governor and the State auditor,are chosen by the Leg- islature.Democratic control,there- fore,means the election of Democrats as Secretary of State,Attorney Gen- eral,State Treasurer,and the ap- pointment of.all State commissions and bureaus,the heads of all depart- ments and State institutions.eee Losses in Great Battles.

I’ll ever feel grateful to them -an wish I could show my gratitude by being worthy of the honor and re- sponsibility you helped to place om me.The Governor said this was his} first political speéch in this campaign, The campaign is important not be-cause there is any likelihood of a change but:because men and policiesareontrial.Without regard to par- ty we can rejoice that we are citizens of this great nation and live under its flag.While there is destruction and death in.the war-torn countries of Europe.We.ought to rejoice that this great land in which we live is at peace.A few months ago ourpeoplewantedwar.Beneath most of us there is a good deal of the sav- age Icft and we almost demanded war with Mexico;and had that demand been heeded we,too,would be today in the maelstrom of war.In tis crisis we rejoice that at the head of this great government we had a man who had the character,the determi-nation and power to say we sha!l havepeace.We have peace in spite ofthewishforwarandwehaveitbe-cause there is in Washington a man —{Woodrow Wilson is President.Not only in diplomacy has Presi-dent Wilson manifested that wisdom vouchsafed to the just,but he hasshownitinhomeaffairs.The Ameri- can people are the most industrious,most intelligent and produce more than any other nation,but hereto- fore they have enjoyed a smaller percentoftheirearningsthananyoth- er people.Their earnings piled wealth in the coffers of the million- aires because of unjust laws,.enact- ed by the Republicans,which favoredtherichasagainstthepoor.TheRepublicansweredrivenfrompower in 1912 and the Democrats,under theleadershipofWoodrowWilson,have placed this government on a largebasisofjustice.We can’t get all the reforms at once.It takes time.But we have learned that instead of levy- ing taxes on necessities we shouldlevythemonluxuries.’We have tak- en burdens from the shoulders of thepoor.The financial system has chang-ed and the financial center is no long- er in Wall street.In 1918 when Wal!street threatened a panic Mr.Mc-Adoo stopped it by depositing govern- ment money in the banks.Gov.Craig here appealed to.the young men to vote for a party ofprogress,‘one in :the service of thepeople,under the mastery of the pco- ple,and not in the service of the dol-lar,under the ownership of the dol- lar;vote for,a party that stands foruniversaljusticeandright.

In the beginning of my administra-|tion of the Marion public schools,I determined to give the home eryplanathoroughandimpartialtrial.| A lettér was carefully prepared and|Sent to all parents,calling attention|to an enclosed schedule of work to|be done by the pupils at home,andurgingthemtoseethatthechildren}followed the schedule.There was al-| Bo enclosed a form to he signed by}the parents,which pledged their co-pyeration in the matter.The sched-|ules were carefully prepared,allot-|ting a definite portion of time to each subject and fixing the hour for thePreparationoftheseverallessons. The children,however,continued to} come to school with unprepared les-|gons.This was the cause of con-| stant friction between the teachers igjand the pupils,and the children werealwayshappywhenschoolwasclos-‘ed for the day (if they did not have to stay in)..In fact,so eager were they for the hour of dismissal tocome,that they worked hastily and! carelessly and mechaniéally.Fur- thermore,it was soon discovered that the parents were doing a majority| of the work for the children,though | the letter sent out,and every visita- tion of the teachers,urged them not}to do so.It was a comnion thing to}hear the parents at the end of the} year say,“I'm glad I was promoted,”| roraning.that.they.had done the work for the children.In addition to all this the children were fast becoming Nervous wrecks,The curriculum was} go crowded that-the children were forced to be.on recitation all day; long,no time to relax from the cor-| stant attention demanded by the rec-itation,no time for independent thought,no time for anything but! machine work.All of which proved) conclusively the necessity of a long-| er day Whether or not a longer day would be practical was a question long de-bated,the teachers usually arguing| |im the negative. The article in North Carolina Ed- weation,by Prof.E.C.Brooks,put all to thinking,and as a result the matter was put before the teachers and the pupils.A unanimous vote in the affirmative caused the two-session-a-day plan to be put into in-| stant execution.Without a single exception so far,all the patrons of the school have endorsed the inno- vation.In fact it has met with more} favorable comment than any other one thing introduced into the school! during the present administration.| The plan provides for ‘a school day of ‘seven hours,one and -one-third hours of which are devoted to recess- eg,two.anda third hours to-study,| and three and a third hots to rec-} itation.This permits a schedule offiveperiodsof40minutestathfor and recitation in the high!1.No text-book work is neces- ,and therefore not required,| at home;but parallel reading is as-|signed.Ai period a week is set aside,| known as literary period,for conver- |sation about the books read and a! digeussion of the topic assigned.The teachers direct the study of the pu- pils*during the study periods,always| the pupils prepare the lessons for the follawing day in order that they may have time to assimilate the subject}matter studied before recitation.| More time for school work is ob-| {se tained,something so needful in the|present day school.Better work is |being doné in ali the grades.We now have time for manual training, |domestié science and the commercial subjects.Better work is being done,for the,children now have an oppor- tunity.to.study under favorable cir-| |cumstances.It is easier to get chil-} iren to read books that supplement the text studies in class.The teach-|ers now have time in school to pre-| pare their work for the following| day,and the evenings are left for reading.and recreation.This plan is in operation only in| |grades 4-11,| |||Some Business Coming on Account of War.

The Senate was not in session whon *this was going on and we don’t know that it is improper for Senators and the Vice President to pose for the “movies”if they wanted to.The ouly criticism that could be made is that the performance was undignified,but as the movies have taken hold of al- most éVerything even this criticism i might be allowed to pass.But if it 5 be true that Chaplain Prettyman,a minister of the gospel,went through the mockery of making prayer for |the movies,it would seem there is —,reason for criticism in his case.Mak- ing mockery of sacred things is bad "enough for a layman;it is inexcusa- ble in a minister.The Senate chap- -lain must be a pretty man,indeed.

Mr.McAjoo’s letter to Mr.Henry went exhaustively into theaid so far extended by the Treasury to national banks in the cotton States,showing that it has issued to them since the war began $68,000,000 in currency; that its crop funds amount to $11,- 337,000;that its regular deposits in the South total $16,065,000 and that there is available for Southern banks in compliance with law $151,000,000 more in additional national bank currency. “What is really wanted,”said the |letter,“is a restored market for cot- ton.The value of cotton has been injured during the year by the Euro- pean war.This injury cannot be re- ,trieved nor the market restored by |legislation.” In his letter Mr.McAdoo denjed that he had the right td deposit Treasury funds,of which Mr.Henry had said there were “several hundred millions,”exclusively in the South. The statute required,he said,that such funds be distributed as far as practicable “equitably between the different States and sections.” “If the government had _several hundred million dollars in the Treas- ury,”Mr.McAdoo said,“Congress would not.be engaged now .in pass- jing a new tax bill to repair the loss in revenues occasioned by the Euro- pean war.” In conclusion the letter says:| “The powers and resources of the |Southern States should be employed ; for the benefit of their people and the} national government should not be lexpected to do things which are be-| I am glad to state reserve banks} the country are now} practically organized.The resources| of these banks will be available in the| very near future for the further re- lief of the financial situation and for the benefit of all kinds of business.” yond its power. throughout } Senator Overman |Vice President and Have Some Words.| Washington Dispatch,10th.

Believing that cotton cord manufac- turers failed to take full advantage of the recent advertisement by the Postoffice Department for bids on some $200,000 worth of cord for use in the postoffices,the Postmaster Gener- al has had the proposal re-advertised. The department now uses hemp twine of which about two million pounds are consumed annually.It is estimat- ed cotton’makes up into twice the amount of cord per pound that is ob- tained from jute,and it was thought the Southern staple could be substi- tuted without material increase in eost,at the same time offering a new market for cotten manufacturers.

It is here the heavy blows,which both sides hope will bring about a de- cisive result in the long drawn out battle,will be strack.It is for this reason that the Germans will be able to make their way to Ostend,al- though even there some troops have been left to inflict what damage they can before joining the larger body south.Of the recent fighting elsewhere French communication simply that the operations are proceed- y normally,"For the first time the French general staff takes notice of and denies some claims put forth by, the Germans.It is denied that two French cavalry divisions have been destroyed and it is asserted,on the othercond,that aviators,with French cavalry,inflicted heavy losses on the German cavalry.It is declared also that the Germans have not come into touch with the fortress of Verdun and that attempts to do so have failed, while in their effort to cross the Meuse at St.Mihiel,they were out- flanked.: German reports coming through Rome say that the real struggle is just beginning and that,if necessary, 5,000,000 men gan be called upon for ¢ompulsory service,while many vol- unteers also are available. ‘Vienna makes the claim that the Russians have evacuated Lemberg, while the Russians denied a similar report that they had given up the siege of Przemysl.It would not sur- prise military men if the Russians withdrew from Galicia to concentrate all their forces for the supreme strug- le which,with the advance of the tS eee armies into Po- d,is now upon them along the istula from south of Warsaw to their southern boundary.

PROFIT OF $75 PER ACRE. Fruit Growing at TestFarm-—Cattle Feeding and the Profits.’ Prof.W.N.Hutt,State horticul-turist,has been with Supt.F.Meacham at the Iredell Test Farmthisweek,checking up the orchardworkatthefarmforthisseason.which proved very satisfactory.Af-ter deducting all expenses connected with the orchard,including thesprayingandpruningoftrees,thecostofgatheringandmarketingthecropandrentalofland,it was foundthattheorchardyieldedaprofitthis year of about $75 the acre. The orchard is composed principal- ly.of peach trees,which bore a fine crop.The trees are now seven years old and have yielded a good profit for three years.Practically all of the peaches were sold on the home mar- ket and Mr.Meacham found the de- mand for first class fruit much great- er than his supply.The demand for first class fruit affords a fine oppor- tunity for diversity of crops on the part of farmers of the community. (Mr.R.W.Collett,assistant direc- tor of State farms,was also at the Iredell farm this week mapping out the work for next year.The policy of reducing the cotton acreage will be practiced.Larger acreage and attention will be given to grain and feed crops,which have proven profit- able.Mr:F.S.Pate,the fertilizer ex- pert of the State Department of Ag- riculture,has been assisting Supt. Meacham in putting out the fertilizer for the fall crops. There are now in the pastures of the Iredell farm 48 head of grade Short-Horn steers recently received from the mountains,where they were purchased by the State.The steers aré about ready to be placed in the experimental lot,where they will be stall-fed during the winter.They average 900 pounds each and were bought at 6.76 cents the pound on foot in the mountains.Expeiments at the Test Farm have shown that feeding beef cattle is very profitable and farmers of the community who have been able to finance cattle-feed- ing on a large ‘scale haye also found it very profitable,A considerable amount of money is involved if many head of cattle are fed.Last year the Test Farm paid 6 cents the oe for its cattle and through the winter sold at 7.60.Thesteersiinweightabout200 poundstheDype iscattle,which isprovement., in themanurefomtheusedforsoil,im- \ mae ad after stall-feoding}.

Vives very inexpensively,the cost of board,laundry and other incidental expenses in Raleigh will absorb about all ofthis ‘salary,to say nothing of pay for his time while there and his time and expenses before the elec- tidhconsidering only strictly legiti- mate expenses. The Landmark does not believe in big salaries but it does not think any- one should be compelled to pay part of his own expenses while serving the State.We think both of these amend- ments should pass,but if you don’t think so turn them down,Others to follow are more important and one of the most important will be discuss- ed in next issue.The first and sec- ond are now disposed of.Keepa list as you read,check those you want to yote for and those you oppose.Mean- time,read today Gov.ig’s discus- sion of the tax amendment,the most important of all. {Henderson county Democrats,who are usually in a minority in their county,met the other day and nomi- nated a ticket composed of Democrats ’except the clerk of the court.They did unusual thing by nominating OC;MPPace,the Republican candidate fot clerk.This does not mean that nm Democrats are so lib- as the circumstance might indi- cate.Phde has held the office of clerk 46 years without interruption,and the Democrats,having failed to beat him during these 46 years,decided to make him their own candidate.If the-example of the Henderson Dem- ocrats should betome popular in North Carolina,by and by the Iredell blicans might nominate “Old Jim Hartness,”as Gov.Craig calls the Iredell clerk. ‘A Greenville,S.C.,cotton mill man predicts that within 30 days the cotton mills in this country will be deluged with orders from abroad.He says that several Greenville mills are already working on foreign contracts and he believes it probable that dou- ble shifts will soon be put on to han- die the rush of orders,especially the great demand now being made by Germahy.’A good many people have held the opinion that there are pros- yerous times just ahead of the mill people.May they prove true proph- ets. It is said that death in the ranks of Union veterans the past year re- duced pension appropriations one and three quarter million dollars.The redaction,however,may not stand. ‘As soon as the ranks of the Federal pensioners are reduced by death to an extent that shows a material de- ¢rease in pension .appropriations, some scheme is devised to increase the pension list. °Wire at Spencer,W.Va.,Mondadestroyedtwobusinessblocksnadwellings. zeeEND wkmaingeTmrWhylt-ene Following «is 70V.s discus- sion of the constitutional amend- ments:“There seems to be no contest aboutanyoftheamendmentsexceptthe)amendment ee revenue andtaxation.The o to this seems to be disappearing as it is “more thoroughly understood.“Our present system of*taxation is seriously defective.Under it we have not been able to raise enough»money to meet the expenses,of State government,although taxes are high— too high.We have been forced to is- sue bonds.-to cover deficits that have arisen from year to “year.

The wealthy escapes.If we could segregate property and provide that the property,in each eommunity should bear the governmenta}ex- pense of that community and that property of a general character should meet the requirements of the State,the temptation to depreciation would be greatly lessened,and the effort to conceal less successful.This is the essence and the strength of le-| cal self-government,the taxation of each community by ‘its own people, for its own purposes and benefits.| The unit should be no larger than is) necessary to assure the advantages of co-operation.The application of this principal has enabled our cities and towns and many of our rural communities to enjoy the advantages of improvement and progress.We must eventually resort to this princi- ple of local self-government for the highest development of local instituy} tions.We must resort to this to ob} tain the best roads,and the'best schools,electric lights,pure water, and the opportunities of mddern life. To realize the full measure of the blessing of this beneficent principle we need an amendment to our con- stitution.The formation and_the submission to the people of such an amendment would be the supreme work of this General Assembly.Such significance in the life of the State. result in her enduring welfare.’ “1 do not claim’originality for this idea. dorsed in various boards,by many newspapers,by meetings of county commissioners and by the farmers of the State. The Imperative Demand. “During the session of the General Assembly of 1913,it seemed to be the unanimous opinion of the members that ‘the constitution should be amended,especially the section pro- viding for revenue.I talked with most of the legislators.There was no dissent.The present corporation commission and the former corpora- tion commission were emphatic in the conviction that an amendment of the revenue section of the constitution was imperatively demanded. “Bills were introduced in the Gen- eral Assembly of 1913 embodying the proposed amendment.A commission composed of 20 of the ablest men in the State was created to consider these bills and report to the adjourn- ed session of the General Assembly. It was generally recognized that the tax amendment was the most import- ant.This amendment was pending before the General Assembly,before the .constitutional commission,be- fore the people of North Carolina, from March until September,1913. The constitutional commission held meetings in various parts of the State.The commission was favored in the discussion of this question by the very ablest men from this and other.States.The amendment was discussed in the press of the State. During all this time not a single ob- jection,so far as I know,was made to the commission against any essen- tial feature of this tax amend- ment.In its present form it was adopted unanimously by the commis-sion after patient and thorough con- sideration,and recommended to the General Assembly.With but one or two dessenting votes,the General As- sembly approved it,and submitted it to the people for ratification. Should Have Spoken Before. “This amendment is of supreme im-portance to the people of the State. If any*man in North Carolina had any objection to this measure,he should have spoken to the commis- sion and to the General A'ssemblythattheyandthepeopleoftheState might have had the benefit of his views.That was the time to speak. “If any citizen of North Carolina now believes that this amendment would not be for the welfare of the State,it is certainly his privilege and his duty to oppose’it,but it is un- fortunate,if there be such an one, that he should have waited until no error could be corrected,until after the amendment had been submittedtothepeopletobeacceptedorreject- ed in its present form,to make his objections known,I fear that there are certain large interests in the State that have become nervous as to the effect upon them of the pro- posed measures,but I do not believethattheirfearsarejustified. The State Would Suffer.“If this amendment should bevoteddown,the State must suffer for years to come on account of an un- forms by pix |estimated at aie.

Would Lower the Rate. “Its purpose is not to raise the rate of taxation,but to lower the rate of taxation.Its purpose and ef- |fect would be not to compel the av- |erage citizen to pay more taxes,but |to compel property now con¢ealed to |pay its just proportion of taxes.Its|latger purpose is to enable each com- |munity to administer its own affairs,|to levy its own:taxes,to make its |own iniprovements,and to realize the|fullbenefit of local self-government. |This,we believe,would result”in «|prosperity and a progress that is |now denied. “The only objection to this amend- iment is the fear that the General |Assembly might be unwise and un-| just.There are interests in the State that fear to trust the representatives of the people.Such fears cannot be |justified.Never yet has-a Legisla- ture in this State enacted a,law un- just to our larger financial or indus- trial interests.Some have strenu- ously contended that Legislatures have been unduly considerate of the \larger interests of organized wealth, but no man can point to.a single stat- ute in North Caroliga that was en-acted in a spirit of injustice or class hatred to the rich.The accusation cannot be made with truth against bur General Assemblies of the past. There is no reason to fear the future “Tt was the last General Assembly that fixed intra-State freight rates and appropriated ten thousand dol- lars of the people’s money to have these ‘rates thoroughly considered to guard against the commission of ahy wrongs to the railroads.This is now,and has been,the spirit ©of North Carolina Legislatures. Fairness is Demanded. “The people demand fairness’and only fairness for all the rich and poor lalike.They:will tolerate nothing else.Some would prefer that the honest people of the State’should continue to suffer,that the develop- ment of the State should be hamper- ed by a system proven by experience |to be wrong and inefficient,for fear ithat the General Assembly of North |Carolina might be ‘controlled by un- |just and vicious motives. |“The constitutional commission that prepared these amendments |was composed of men noted for abil- ity and patriotism.The delibera- itions of this commission were char- acterized by thoughtful patience and come to us withthe endorsement this commission.They come to with the endorsement of the General Assembly.They come to us with the endorsement of the press of the us| the corporation commission for thepurposeofeenstheAtlantic Coast Line,and any other railroad in the State planning to do so,to in- augurate a system in applying the inew reduced intra-State freight|rates,effective October 13,by whichitherailroadwouldchargethehigherirateforthelongerdistanceover|their own lines in cases where there|was a shorter route over different|lines for shipments,where the.short- er and cheaper route was not speci- fied by the shipper.(The commission says the Atlantic|Coast Line has been advertising_its|purpose to apply the rate of its own shortest line to shipments not|specially routed by a still lower com- |bination where such exists,and giv-|ing notice that in shipments so for-|warded the company may not under|the law entertain claims for over-|charge on the basis of the lower rate |applicable via another route,The commission holds that this course would be in direct violation of rule 29 of the commission,which canbeenforcedevenifsectiontwoofthe| Justice act would seem to warrant)the course indicated by the ‘railroad|company,rule 29 making it obliga-||tory on the railroad company to ship by the route giving the lowest rate,|and that the plan of the railroad com-| |pany would put the burden of routing||the shipmehts over the cheapest route| |on the shipper,the majority of whom||never think of it,and are uninformed.||The commission Monday received) from practically all.the companies do-| ling intra-State freight “transporta-| tion and affected by the new rates,|;supplements to their intra-State freight tariffs and withdrawing their||special rates on commodities between various points in.the State.In many cases these special rates were lowerthantheratesprescribedinthetariff of rates by the rate commission andtheroads’action has the effect of rais-| ing existing rates on the commodities involved,in violation,the commission says,of the Justice act and the find-ings of the special commission.Thecommissionissuedanorderthatall these suppleménts or notices are dis-approved by the cdmmission in so far as they have the effect of raising ex- isting rates,and directing that the special commodity rates be continued in effect.

You won’t find that objectionable statement about the origin of man in the 1914 edition of Tarr’s New ysical Geography.It has been ted. :weeks ago the Presbyterian Standard stated,on the authority of a Charlotte preacher,that a physical gederaphy,adopted for use in the public “sehools of the State,taught _that “thé origin of man ‘is unknown” “gnd that scientists agree that he is évolved from some high form of ani- Mal life. The Landmark submitted some re- marks on the subject,being disposed to agree with the Standard that it “was hardly proper for the State to Feach in ‘the schools doctrine directly ontrary to that taught by the Chris- #ian religion.The matter has attract- ed considerable attention. Tarr’s geography,editions of 1908 and 1911 (and we suppose all edi- tions up to 1914),have this,page -$69,chapter-19: “Early Man—tThe origin of man is not known,although scientists gen- erally agree that he has developed,| by the process of evolutign,from some high form of animal.This be-lief is based upon.the close resemb- i ——between the body of man’and ,and receives support from the ‘fact that,in habits and mode of liv- jing,some savages are little above animals.But even the least civiliz-ed men have powers that no animal s,while civilized man is so |school books. ports that 415,194 bales geography,Dr.Livingston Johnson says:, I have just received,from the officeoftheSuperintendentPublicIn-struction,the handbook for highschoo)teachers.In an introductoryletterDr.Joyner says that the cours-es of study he has preseribed werecarefullypreparedbyN.W.Walker,inspector of public high schools.Itisbutfairtotheeducationaldepart-ment to say that ina list of five phys-ical geographies option of any one ofthefiveisgivenforuseinthehigh schools,and Tarr’s New Physical Geography,the .one which hasbroughtaboutallthisdiscussion,isattheverybottomofthelist.Any local authorities ©which adopt this geography will pass over tho*firstfouronthelisttogettoit.Whileitshouldnotbeonthelistatallthe educational department should have credit,at least,for putting it at the bottom of the list.‘i That is a rather lame excuse,The offence is that the book was put into the schools with its teaching of what Dr.Johnson says is “bald agnosti- cism.”It is no excuse to say it was put at the foot of the list.Being on the list and recommended,the public accepts it as all right,without exami- nation.They are not expected to know that books at the foot of the} list teach agnosticism. The lesson.of the whole matter.to all parents is,Read your children’s NS WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES. Facts about.cotton are of unusual interest now.The census bureau re- of cotton were consumed during September compared with 442,435 in September last year.This means that the do- mestic consumption of cotton last jas well as Representatives in Con- the appropriationsfor the last fiscal year of the Republican administra-tion,Mr,Martin’of the Senate ap- propriations committee says part of the increase is the result of mak- ing right the wrongs committed by the Republicans—the $25,000,000 forColombiaonaccountofthePanama canal being a case in point.Sena- tor Martin says further that of the Democratic appropriations $103,000,- 000 are for extraordinary expendi- tures,such as were incident to the Mexican crisis and the war in Europe. Appropriations for rputine govern- mental expenditures,he said,’are in reality some $6,500,000 less than the last Republican appropriations, While the Democrats have not been as economical as they might have been,the Republicans,with —their record of extravagance,are not in position to criticise.The system of governmental extravagance,of which all parties are guilty,is really due to public sentiment.The idea has taken firm hold that every commun- ity,every county,every State and section is entitled to an appropria- tion from the national Treasury for something.This idea is so firmly fix- ed that the worth of_a member of Congress (and this includes Senators gress)is gauged hy the amount of money he can secure from the Feder- al Treasury for his people.Wheth- er this money is for a proper and useful purpose and whether it is right to ask the government for it,is not» considered.The idea is that what- ever is obtained from the Federal government is so much cléar gain. If it is suggested that the.govern- ment’s money must come from the pockets of the people in taxes,the} far above the highest animals,that some people believe it impossiblethatheisthedescendantofanani-| mal.Whatever man’s origin,it is}‘certain that in his early stages he lived the life of a savage.When theRomanEmpirewasdeveloping,the| Germans and English were rude sav-|ages;and still earlier,the inhabi-| tants of the Italian Peninsula were in the same condition:Today,both in the Old and New World,there areracesthathavenotyctrisenabove savagery.“Summary—Man’s ancestry is wi- known,but it is generally believedthathehasbeenevolvedfromsome high form of animal.It is certainthatearlymanwasasavare.” The Book on whichour ‘civilization is founded says,Gen.,1:27: “So God created man in his own image,in,the image of God createdhehim;male and female created he them,” The statement of Dr.Tarr,therc- fore,that “The origin of man is un- known,”is,as Dr.Livingston John- son says,“bald agnosticism.”As The Landmak sees it,the statement about evolution,which merely gives the opinion of scientists and seems rath- er to question the evolution theory, is unobjectionable.But Dr.Tarr be- gins this with the positive exp-ession of his own opinion,and the opinion he gives about the matter is that “the origin of man is unknown.” That is directly contrary to Bible teaching.Children who are taught in Christian hémes and in Sunday school that God made man,are taught in the public school that this is all wrong. If a crop of agnostics do not come on in the next generation it will not be the fault of this teaching of Tarr’s geography. But evidently objection had been made before now to this teaching of Tarr’s geography.The 1914 edition of the book,now on sale in the book stores,lias this,page 862,chapter) 19: (arly Man—What sort of life peo- ple lived before they were sufficiently enlightened to leave any written rec-ords,we can judge only by the rec- fords of their deeds as shown in only | month was near normal,only.27,241) bales less than last year.The cotton} on hand September 30 in manufactur- ing establishments was 556,068 bales compared with 614,581 a year ago, and in independent warchouses 1,- 661,856 compared with 1,295,155 a year ago,which means that thereis | in round numbers 300,000 more bales | of cotton on hand on the last day of| September than on the same date last | year. Exports,however,is where the trouble lies.The exports of cotton during September were only 125,778| bales compared with 930,328 bales for the same month last year,which| means that cotton exports fell off | during September 804,550 bales,For the month of August and September| the exports of cotton were only| 146,988 bales compared with 1,187,-) 500 for the same months last year, a falling off of 1,040,512 bales.This explains the low price of cotton,as any intelligent individual knows.On account of the war in Europe the} European countries are buying little cotton. Another thing.The people who falsely and for the purpose of decep- tion,charge the low price of cotton to a Democratic administration,have much to say about mills shutting down.This same census report, which is an official government re- port,shows that 30,562,185 cotton same month last year. that few mills have shut down. that the ladies wear cotton stockings, thus saving money and helping a one.It is this. who gives a reception or other social mounds,monuments,drawings,uten- sils,weapons and other relics,and by comparison with other uncivilized people of the present day.Written records tell us much about our an- cestry during the last two or three thousand years.For example,whentheRomanEmpirewasdevelop- ing,the Germans and English were rude savages;and still earlier,the inhabitants of the Italian Peninsulawereinthesamecondition.TodaybothintheOldandtheNewWorld |there are races that have not yet ris- en above savagery.

Their Care a Serious Problem—OneoftheResultsoftheWar. Some of the many problems of the war are caring for the wounded,the prisoners of war and the refugees. Thousands of people driven fromtheirhabitationsbythepresenceof hostile armies,are pouring into friendly or neutral countries.They are destitute,in nearly all cases,and must be provided for.Belgian refu- gees now in Holland number 600,000, according to the correspondent at The Hague.The correspondent adds: “The Dutch authorities are greatly embarrassed by the refugees who are incessantly «streaming into Holland. Owing to the lack of railway mate- rial thousands are forced to visit on the roads for transportation.The Dutch government probably will take steps jointly with the German gov- ernment for the speedy return of the refugees.”“During the past months I have grown accustomed to the sight of streams of refugees trailing over all the roads of Belgium until the queer illusion has grown up ‘that they are always the same refugees,they look so pitably alike,”says the Rotter- dam correspondent of the LondonTimesinadispatchtohispaper.He continues: “But all the scenes on all the roadsofBelgiumforweekspastmustbeaddedtogetherandmultipliedtwenty-fold to resemble the spectacle on the days.

Senator Hoke Smith Wednesday submitted’an amendment to the emergency bill which would provide for a government issue of $250,000,- 000 in 4 per cent bonds for the pur-}{* chase of cotton to relieve the cotton States.This amendment was dis- cussed yesterday.The idea of this amendment is for the government to issue sufficient 4 per cent bonds,in denominations from $5 to $50,to buy 5,000,000 bales of cotton at the market price,pro~ vided not more than 10 cents a pound is paid for the stapte. wishes to sell his cotton to the gov-ernment he.‘receives payment inbondswhichbearfourpercentand which should be worth better than rency or in any other way holders de-sire.

The,attempted advance of the Ger- man forcesalongthecoast of Bel- gium and northern France,apparent-ly with the aim of establishing them-selyes in British channel ports s0 they ar.menace England,has reach- ed a‘critical point. ‘The extreme western fighting line now reaches from Armentieresthrough.Roulers to Nieuport on the coast,about half way between Ostend and Dunkirk»According to the French official announcement,German heavy ry.ly used in the siege of Antwerp,has bombarded the front from jeuport to Viadslo, which is about 10 miles from the coast.The Germans seem to have improv- ed their position but the allies rcport progress and are hopeful. IT’S DUNKIRK AND CALAIS. A New Battle Being Fought—Ger-mans Trying to Reach French Coast and Hold g Pistol at Eng- lang’s Head—The Progress of the War. Two important successes in the bat- tle 6f Dunkirk and Calais,for the ion of which the Germans are striving,are credited to the allies in the official communication issued in Paris Sunday afternoon.The French are said to have re-occupied Armen- tieres,an importan}railway junction on the Belgian frontier northwest of Lille,and to have repulsed an attempt of the Germans to cross the river \¥Yser,which flows through that little corner.of West Flanders,which is all of Belgium that remains in Belgian hands.That would mean a check to the German attempt to reach Dunkirk by the coast route.The French also are said to have pushed back still farther the German army which is ad- vancing along the Belgian frontier to the coast. The battle which culminated in ‘Armentieres again coming under French influence lasted for a week. The fighting was hard and continu- ous.The town had been seized by the Germans last week. The arrival in London of thousands of Belgian refugees has stirred up populations in the poorer districts of the city against the Germans.Thou- sands of Germans are continuing bus- i or remaining at their employ- oan throughout the country and agitation for theemployedinhotels, discharge of thosebarbershopsand other places is growing. in the Russians and the Aus- t flatly contradict one another as t progress of events in the East. TheAustrians claim the operations are progressing favorably for them, while.official Petrograd report says attempts by Austrians to cross the river San failed and that in fighting south of Przemysl,which took the form of bayonet charges,they cap- tured 15 Austrian officers and 1,000 men.‘A dispatch from Berlin says: “All signs indicate a change is im- nding in the struggle in northern rance,where for weeks the hostile armies have faced each other in such strongly entrenched positions that neither has been able to advance ex- cept at enormous cost.The pripci- pal effect of the mutual flanking op- erations has been to extend the bat- tle lines without either side finding a weak spot. “The German army,which besieged ‘Antwerp,now is free and the invad- ing forces have been strengthened otherwise for an assault against some int in the extended battle front. igid secrecy is preserved as to the point chosen for that movement.Of- ficial German bulletins throw no light on the nature -of the impending stroke.”eae aes Sunday’s Report. Sunday’s report of the war,sént from London,says: “Bvery day brings the war nearer home.Today there was a naval bat- le off the Dutch coast in which a ritish cruiser and four destroyers sank four German destroyers,while on land German troops reached the coast of Belgium,legs than 70 miles from Dover,England.They are about to attempt’a march southward to ,Donkirk and Calais,which are»even Closer to the English coast. “Tt is in west Flanders and across the French frontier in Pas de Otlais that the heaviest and most important fighting is now going.on.The fight- ing has only commenced in this dis- triet,however,for the Germans,who would consider it a great victory to reach the coast of France and “hold the pistol at England’s head,”have brought up strong reinforcements and.will strive with all their might to achieve this object. “The,allies elso.can bring up rein- forcements on land and have been doing so,which makes it certain a great battle must be fought before either side gives ground:The allies will be assisted by the British ships when the fighting reaches points near the coast.“Along the.center,which now stretches from Roye to,the Meuse, there appears to have been 4 tall.in the fighting,which means,of course, that although the artillery has been as ever,neither side has at- re any attacks, “Around St.mine south of ‘Ver- SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION.

The action of the commissioners is| the result of a model dog law passed| for Orange by the Legislature at the| instance of Representative Pickard—| may his tribe increase.The Jaw) makes it unlawful to allow any vi-| cious dog,“or dog that sucks eggs,de- stroys or injures fowls or sheep,or | commits like depredations,”to run at| large.The owner of such dog is tia- ble to a fine of $50 or imprisonment| for 30 days for permitting the dog to) run at large.All dogs are.taxed $1 each,must be listed ag other proper- ty and when so listed are protected by law—become property—jso that one who takes,steals or carries away a) dog listed for taxation is.guilty of larceny. (The revenue arising from this dog tax is kept in a separate fund and/| each year the commissioners shall, “upon,satisfactory evidence of dam- age to sheep in Orange county,pay to the owner of such sheep the amount of such damage.”The bal-| ance of the tax,if any,is to go one- half to the road fund and one half to the school fund. That is a model dog law.It cov- ers the whole case and Mr.Pickard deserves a monument for passing it.| It is no hardship on the dog owner; it gives his dog the protection of the law by his paying $1 tax.It makes the owner of a vicious dog or a dog known to be in the habit of sucking eggs,attacking shtep or fowls or committing like depredations,guilty of a misdemeanor if he allows such| dog to run at large.-Can anything be more just than that?Will any- body contend that such dogs should be permitted to run at large?And ”then the man who can show that his sheep were killed by dogs is paid for them out of this dog tax fund. ‘This law should apply to every ecoufity in the State.The voters’of Iredell should go after the candidates for the Legislature and insist that they promise such a jew for Iredell. "We are a nation of thinkers,” »Bays the Greensboro Record,“but we -let our feelings run away with us.” As proof of its assertion the Record says that men are found who say they know little about the constitu- tional amendments,“but are going to yote against them because some ~more or less prominent Republicans are in favor of them,Another will é say that he is against the move be- cause this and that politician is for “them.‘They are fixing to ride into office on them,’is one thing we “hear.”The Record mentions one|A“mighty intelligent man”who will| not vote for the amendments be- (Acause A.E,Holton,Republican,is «for them.The Record’s statements| edisproves its assertion that “we are nation of thinkers.”Thinking peo- ei.are not swayed by passion and} M¥prejudice.If the people who oppose ~the ‘amendments because somebody they don’t like is for them would give| the matter a little thought they | would realize the absurdity of their! position.The amendments,and all| other propositions submitted to the| voters,should be considered on their| merits.If after reading the amend-| ments and getting all the light pos- | ey ' x ;ft ist.Th i he best§sible on the subject,the voter decides |™*“*January ‘1s mt %the besagainstthem,his opinion is entitled' *any proposition solely on the fact that §,somebody is for or against it,is ajmanifestationofignoranceandprej- §udice of which any intelligent man|should.be ashamed.| *Solicitor Hayden Clement,the Dem-\di tie candidate for solicitor,is be:|“fore the Iredell voters this week.He@atHarmonylastnightandwil)|bench stated recently that he is op-|~Speak at Loray academy tonight.Mr. ment is an able lawyer and is_well fitted for’the office of solicitor—“m fact he has demonstrated during)the six months he has filled the office under appointment.He should be elected and Iredell should give himthebiggestmajorityofanycountyinthedistrict. ,An an interview in the Raleigh|‘¢‘rial of capital cases it wouldn't |Congressman Doughton. \in the county who is not |Wilson administration. some member of the opposition local ticket,we don’t know.But the great |danger is the stay-at-home vote;and this danger,be it remembered,is’not to the local Democratic ticket but to Mr.Dough- ton will need every Democratic vote in Iredell.The district is close at best and we have no votes to spare. We have’yet to hear of a Democrat for Mr. Doughton,but some of them are in- different and threatening to stay away from the election because they are not pleased about the county tick- et.The effect of that can have but one result.It-may -cost-us the*elec: tion of a Congressman,which will be construed as a repudiation of the Every stay- at-home Democrat will endanger Mr. Doughton’s election and help Mt.Lin- |ney. (his indifference cannot |possihly affect .the local ticket.That will be elected without a doubt;and the Democrat who fails to vote because of dissatisfaction with the county ticket will fail to hurt that ticket,so far as its election is concerned,but will hurt the very things they all pro- fess to be for—Mr.Doughton and the administration. This is to say,therefore,that every Democrat in the county who is really for the Wilson adminiMtration and Mr.Doughton can show it in but one way—by going to the election and voting for Mr.Doughton.You don’t have to vote for anybody but the Congressman unless you want to;you don’t have to vote for anybody you don’t want to vote for;but if you are for Mr:Doughton you will vote for him and get every vote for him you can.If you want Mr.Linney elected vote for him,but don’t pretend to be for Mr,Doughton and the give Mr. Linney a half vote by staying away from the polls.The Republicans who are trying to pledge Democrats to stay away from the polls under the pretence that it will hurt the county ticket,are_playing a game of decep- tion.They are trying to help Mr. Linney;and the dissatisfied Demo- erats who are urging other dissatis- fied Democrats to stay away are do- ing the same thing. eee te eRmeta What would you think to hear an ordinarily intelligent man assert with all earnestness,that there is no war in Europe,but all this news about | such an affair is simply nothing morethanaDemocraticschemetorunthe price of cotton down and to keep con- trol of affairs?That argument is be-ing offered by a man in Iredell coun- ty.—Mooresville Enterprise.+ The Landmark is almost sorry the |Enterprise has made public the fact |that we have such a man in the cou n- ty;outsiders might judge our en- |tire population by that type.How- |ever,we can take comfort in the fact ~even if it be but melancholy com- fort—that they’re not all dead and |some of the same sort are to be found |% in other counties, The Lexington Dispatch announces|5 that it will positively gb on the cash-|% The |$in-advance basis January ist.

(Residents of Asheville who were on the streets at an early hour yester- day morning had an oppurtunity of seeing the first.snow since che carly part of last spring.Following the drenching rains of the past few days the temperature experienced 1 con-siderable drop and as the gray of eerly dawn brightened into the full light of day the flanks of Mount Firgah were aglitter with the light snow that had fallen there.‘Phe warm reys of the sun that made its appearance for the first time in sev- eral days soon dispelled all of this, however,and in a short time the thin white coat had disappeared. Revision of Méthod of AppointmentinForeignService. Revision of methods of appoint-ment and promotion of subordinate officials of the foreign service is ac- complished by a bill passed by the Senate,which classifies offices held by .secretaries of embassies and le- vations,consuls general,and consuls. t present these officers are ap-j pointed by the President and con- firmed by the Senate.The State De- partment is unable to transfer them without reappointment.The bill authorizes the President to.transfer any such official’to any office in the grade to which he has been appointed.

Much Fighting But Nothing Decisive. Pierce attacks ang counter-attacks delivered almost continuously for 2 week or more by the allies and the Germans have resulted in no definite decision in the battle raging in West Flanders and Northern France,says Wednesday's report.The contest in the Eastern war area,‘in East Prus- sia,Poland and Galicia,has been equally undecisive.- This is clearly evident from re- rts issued officially at various uarters..which content them- selveg-with recounting tlie fact that violent attacks have been made.The French,however,claim the allies have repulsed German offensive movements at various points in the West..According to the French an- fhouncements,the Germans also at- tacked the allies’lines at Nieuport, Dixmude and Labasse.The Ger- man general staff declares fighting continues on the Yser canal and that the Germans,taking the offensive west of Lille,have repulsed the French at several points. ‘These reports seem to controvert accounts appearing in English news- papers from correspondents who claimed they were in West Flanders, and who stated that the Germans had been driven back. The Germans,however,are be- lieved to be fighting under a great disadvantage,especially along the coast,as the British ships assisting the allies’.land forces have -long- range guns capable of seriously mcn- acing German troops and men in the trenches as well as the ammunition trains and-supply convoys. The vessels assisting the allies have not been allowed to carry out their operations in ion for German submarines.hage.followedandathecoast ¢ they were shelling German positions. These attacks,however,were made futile by the presence of British de- stroyers.One account says the sub- marines suffered losses but this statement has not been confirmed. Land battles are being contested with a fury and tenacity that would indicate that strategic importance is attached to the positions held by the opposing armies.When a town is reached street fighting generally de- velops..One side gains an advan- tage only to lose it when the other side brings up reinforcements. Naval activities continue in differ- ent parts of the world.The German Emden has been busy in Far Eastern waters.She has sunk four British steamers and a dredger and captured two other vessels—the steamers Ex- ford and Saint Egbert.The St.Eg- bert was allowed to proceed to Coch- rin,British India,with.her passen- gers..The report of the operations of the Emden does not say what was done with the Exford,which flies the British flag and was bound from Yokohama to New York.

The most important of all the pro- amendments to the State con- “is what is known as the tax is -The full text of.this Renae rinted in The Land- ..©mark today and the yoter is asked tostudyit.This amendment,if adopt-ed,will take the place of Article V.and section 9 of Article VII.in thepresentconstitution.By applying totheregisterofdeedsanyonemayse- cure a copy of the present constitu- tion,with the amendments,and can gee just what changes will be made in present constitution by the adoption of the amendments.Concisely stated,the new amend- ment gives the Legislature authority to classify and segregate property for taxation.The adoption of _theamendmentdoesnotmeanthatthese changes will be made simply by the change in the constitution.Author-ity is only conferred on the Legisla- ture to make the change;and asthepeopleelectthelegislatorsthey ean,if the Legislature adopts a sys- tem of taxation they do not approve,at the’next election elect-men_pledg- ed to make another change.Get ‘the idea,then,that the adoption of this amendment does not impose on the people a hard and fast system of| taxation.It imposes none at all.It} simply gives opportunity,if the peo- ple through their legislators so will, to adopt new methods of taxation.That new methods are necesary and desirable as a matter of justice andequity,no student of taxation ag it) is administered in North Carofna, can deny.‘But keep in mind alsothatanymethodadoptedcan’t stand more than two years if the peoplearedispleasedwiththechange.They can,through their legislators,make another change. The present constitution requires that all taxes shall be uniform and| ad valorem upon all property;that| is to say,a different rate of taxa-| the method under our system.Again,if the owner of the $1,000 of solventcreditscomplieswiththelaw,he getsonly6percent,$6 for each $100.IfhelivesinStatesvillehewillpayoutofeach$6 about $2.25 in taxes,the combined city,county and State tax-es amounting to about $2.25 on the$100.In some towns andcities the rate is higher.he has only $3.75 for each $100 in- vested.That the tax rate is too high in proportion to the return will be admitted,and that is the excuge many people give for not returning intangible property.The few peoplewhodolistthatclassofpropertyare usually people who have little;it isthepeoplewhohavelargeamounts that hide it away.To get at this class of property other States,thatfacedasimilarproblem,adopted theclassificationmethodandimposedalowertaxrate.With the lower ratetheymadestringentregulationsto compel the property to Be listed.The result was that millions of dollars that had escaped taxation was putonthetaxbooks,Objection might be made to taxing money or solventcreditsatalessratethanreales- tate.But the real estate owner who pays on 10,25 and 50 per cent ofsthe value of the land can’t justly com-plain if money and notes and mort- gages,taxed dollar for dollar,pay at a less rate;and moreover,if:you can get but little of the intangible property on the books under the pres- ent law,as has_been demonstrated, it is better to get all of it at a less rate.It will mean more taxes,'as hasBeer’@enristrated where the~plan has been tried.This article is too long now.:Oth- er features of the tax ametdment will be discussed’in next issue.

Just why,when young Pou decided to go to college,the father didn't sep- arate him from the job and give it to some ‘other young North Carolinian, fince the elder Pou claims he has helped so many young men,does not appear.Instead the son is permit- ted to sublet the job.Further,it is admitted that Robt.Wellons of Smithfield is on the payroll of Con- gressman Pou’s committee as “jani- tor,”while young.Wellons ‘is in Washington and Lee University,in Virginia. dt is-one of many evidences of de- generacy in the public service,to _find a North Carolina Democrat not only countenancing such practices but.defending them.This is not an isolated instance.Such practices are public service in It is not unusual,if re- ports be true,for a member of Con- gress to put on the payroll as many of his relatives as possible.Some- times members who haven’t sons convenient put on their wives and daughters.Republicars and Demo- Grats alike are guilty of the practice; there is no party distinction in the matter of greed. But the fact that the practice has fact has been made,public,and explained seven amendments’to: constitution.Section B ig as fol- lows;;« ‘VIII.By striking out section one of article eight and substitutingthereforthefollowing:~*“Section 1.No corporation shallbecreatednorshallitscharterbeex-tended,‘altered,or amended by spe- cial act,except corporationsfor char- itable,educational,penal,’or:reforma-tory purposes that are to be and re-main under the patronage’and (con-trol of the State;but.the.General Assembly shall provide by general laws for the chartering and organiza- tion of all corporations,and foramending,extending,and forfeiture of all charters,except those.abote permitted by -special act.All such general laws and special acts may bealteredfromtimetotimeorrepeal-ed;and the General Assembly:may at any time by special act repeal .the charter of any corporation.” This is to prevent corporations get- ting special charters ‘from the Legis- lature.Very often members of the Legislature put through charters for corporations giving special:privi- leges.which the corporation’should not have and which would not have beengranted had it been known.Un-| der the proposed amendment a gen- eval law will be passed defining just what powers the Stat@%is willing to grant corporations.This will be fair to aM and the corporations can be chartered without taking up the time of the Legislature,as is the case now. The ninth amendment is similar: pix.By striking“out.section four of article eight,and substitutingthereforthefollowing:“It shall be the duty of the,Legis- lature to provide by genetal laws for the arganization of cities,towns and incorporated villages,and to re-strict their power of taxation,assess- ment,borrowing money,contracting debts,and.loaning their credit,so as to prevent abuses in assessment and in cgntracting debts by such munici- pal corporations.” Under the present law there fs no limit to the powers a town or city | may take to itself through charter.

RUEBSDAY,---October 27,1914. —POLL AND ere PROPERTY The Landmark stated in its last is- sue that the tax amendment to theconstitutionrestrictedpolltaxto$2; that it is not restricted in the present constitution.This statement is,chal- lenged.The present constitution,ar-‘}'.ticle 5,section 1,says the paenreey | tax shall be equal to the tax on prop-| erty valued at $300 in cash.That) is to say,the rule has always been| to make the poll three times the prop-| erty tax.If the property tax is 50 cents on the $100 the poll would vt $1.50;if the property tax is $1 on aa $100,the poll would be $3,etc.The} present constitution further says,in the section quoted,that the State and county poll tax combined “shall nev- er exceed $2.”But when special tax- es are levied they are also levied on poll and ‘in counties where there are special taxes,the poll tax is often in- creased above $2.In Iredell county this year the poll tax for State and county purposes is $3;and this does not’include the townships that pay a special railroad tax,where it is high- er.Formerly the poll tax for city purposes in Statesville was three times the.property tax,which made the poll $3.45.When the city char- ter was ‘amended a few years ago the city poll was limited to $2.Under the former regulation residents of Statesville liable to poll tax would pay $6.45.The rate is now #5—$3 for the State and county and $2 for the city.; The ta¥amendment to the constita- tidn does not say the capita-| tion tax may be three times the’! amount of the property tax.It says|poses as to give so much greater pro-property on the tax books,the cor- the General Assembly shall provide for a capitation tax “but not exceed-| ing $2 per annum for all State and county purposes.”This is construed| to mean that the poll for State and| .gounty purposes may not be over $2. Gertainly it is.cleay that towns can-| not go over that amount for munici-| purposes.While.Statesville has already restricted the poll tax to $2,/ most of the towns have no restriction. ‘Another matter:The present con- stitution provides that the General bly may exempt persona)prop- from taxation to the amount of rn But as it does not say the per- inal property of individuals,the ex- -emption must apply to corporations as well as individuals and hence the Legislature has allowed an exemption of only $25.The tax amendment pro-| vides that the Legislature may ex- empt the personal property “of a natural person”of a value not ex- eceding $300.So another advantage of the amendment is that the per- sonal ‘property exemption of.individ- vals may be increased from $25 to $300. A good and useful man passed away when Joseph B.Cornelius:fell on sleep at his home at Davidson Friday.Ai quiet and simple -man- nered man,he was a wise and far- seeing business man.After he was considered an old man,he left the quiet life of the farm and was in- strumental in establishing a manu- facturing business which was not only suceeasful but was the foundation of a thriving town of other business en-|terprises,all of which he helped to| bring about.He not only helped! business’enterprises but he helped | young people to an education and a} start in life..A’number he educated himself and his contributions to Dav-| _enport College and to the Methodist|orphanage at Winston -Salem will] be helping to educate the girls and| Care for the orphan children of un- born generations.Verily 'Squire Jo. |Cornelius,as he was familiarly| §)known for many years while he was| 'an honored citizen of Iredell,was a /good man and true.He wrought _weil for his day and generation.One yknew him well and held him in high esteem,lays this poor flower on the néw-made grave. Senator Simmons.:3 for the consti- tutional amendments. his time had been so taken up with duties in Congress that he had or.to study the amend- ments ‘a few days ago,the Sen-ator says:‘After careful consideration and-mature reflection it is my opinionthattheseamendments,one and all, are wise and ly I shall sup- :them |I sincerely hope that _may adopted at the comingheeome4partofthelawoftheState.” leading men of the State,of i parties,are championingimerits.The voters wil voices his opposition to the “tax amendment to the constitution,He favors the other amendments.~ (Mr;Travis opposes the segrega- tion and classification features of the jamendment He argues that if the |tax on corporations is ‘set aside for State purposes,as may be done un- der the amendment,that would give |so much of the taxable property to}the State that taxes on land would have to be increased to get sufficient |revenue for the cities and towns.Mr. |Travis also contends that the present |system affords sufficient revenue for ithe ordinary expenses of the State; \that the deficit in revenue is due solely to the fact that the State used current revenue to make extensive permanent improvements.> The last statement is corrects But why,if the ‘present revenue is suf- ficient,would it be necessary to segre- grate so much property for State pur- poses that it would leave a de“cit in county revenues.so large that an in- creased land tax would be necesgary(? Could not the segregation stop when the State had been given as much as it now gets,so that the State tax on land,left with the counties,would make up for the property taken from the counties for State purposes only? Of course.The amendment provides that the Legislature may,“consistent with national justice and equity,” classify ‘subjects of-taxation.If any plan of classification and segrega- tion worked an apparent injustice,it is reasonable to suppose the plan would not be adopted,or if adopted would not stand. Mr.Travis takes the figures for a number of counties and proves by his calculation that the segregation he has in mind would cause a net loss in taxes to these counties.We haven’t the figures at hand nor the time to go into the calculation,but i#Mr.Travis is right it would be absurd to contend that the Legislature would segre- gate so much property.sor State pur- portion of the revenue.We hardly think Mr,Travis believes it.Gov. Kitchin,who is advocating the amendments,;says segregation will not be.practicable for some years for the reason that enough corpor- ate property cannot be segregated to provide the State sufficient revenue; but he thinks it wise to adopt the amendment and be ready for the se- gregation plan when it is deemed practicable,which is all the amend-|opposed ‘the plan and it was charged| ment advocates have in mind.But according to Mr.Travis -segregation would take the great proportion.of the taxes for the State and leave the counties strapped.It depends on,how you calculate,Mr.’Travis figures that Robeson county,for instance,would sustain a net loss of $17,684.The editor of the Scottish Caief,a paper published in Robedpn,figures that the county would gain’$25,235.97 without increasing taxes,Ft stands to the.peoplé,he argu be raised,Wouldn’t that be raisingtaxes“back home”where the ~tor would be held to account?~ courseit would.Chairman Travis fails to cite one thing to show where the people will lose,under the amend”ment,any authority in the matter of controlling taxes they have now, He can’t cite anything.We've heard from’other sources that the Legis- latyré can’t be trusted in this matter and Mr,Travis speaks of it as an.alien body~which “would be ir- responsible to the people if ©the amendment is adopted,and likely to take away their rights and liberties. Without meaning the least disf¥spect to Mr.Travis,this is the ery of the demagogue.The people will have un- der the amendment as much authori- ty in the matter of tax levies as they have now.Those who profess fear that land taxes may be increased are not afraid"0f that.What they really fear is that corporation taxes may be increased.It has been asserted that practically every railroad attorney in the State is opposing this tax amend- ment.We don’t know if that is true; but we do know that if they expected land taxes to be inerea rather than corporation taxes,they would be for the amendment.: It will not be denied by Mr.Travis, or anybody conversant with the)sit- uation,that property in the State that in value would probably run in- tothe millions,is either escaping tax- ation.entirely or is not bearing its share of the burden.Not a.word does he say about how to reach this property nor why he hasn’t found a way to reach it all the years he has been on the State tax commission. The remedy for the present situation, says Mr.Travis,is to enforce the law. |Then why doesn’t Mr.Travis do something to enforce it?When the the ble der paper,asked him what he thought of |° the effect of the war on this country, and the Democrat gives.this’as Mr. Linney’s reply:: “It is one of the most fearfulthingsinalltime.Exports.are boundtobecutoff,and as aresultthe priceofallcommoditiesofwhichwehaveanexcess—cotton included—will droptoanominalpriceand‘the panicthroughwhichwearedestinedto pass is something horrible ‘to con-template.We have passed throughseveralhardperiodsinmoneyaffairs, known as “panics,*but they werenothingtocomparewith‘the one thatisboundtobetheresultoftheter-rible conflict.If I owed.one thousand dollars at this time and did not havethemoneywithwhichtopayit,I would be miserable.”. Mr.Linney .overdrew the picture.

Great Advance in Two Years—-What It Means and How Further Ad-vance Can Be Made. Correspondence of The Landmark. The interest taken in the dairyindustryin_Iredell county within the last two years is simply marvelous.In previous years cows sold forfrom$25 to $50,only an extra onebringingthehigherprice;and anumberofcarloadswereshippedto other sections.Now all this has changed.Where we were exporters of mongrel stock we are now import- ers of registered stock and good grades.

To the Editor of The Landmark: It is but a few months until theDemocraticprimaryforthenomina-tion of county officers.will be’held,and it’behooves all good Democratstobethinkingaboutthemenwearetonominate.For some time it hasbeenveryevidentthatthe:presentofficialsaregoingtoaskthattheyberetainedinoffice,and it is alsoveryapparentthatmeestrongin-fluences..are-being brought to bear toaccomplishthis,notwithstanding thefactthatitisanunwrittenlawwiththeDemocratsofIredellthatthecountyofficersshallbeelectedfor but three terms,or six years. present set of county officers werenominatedontheissueofrotationinofficeaswerethesetbefore’them.Nothing could be said against theefficiencyofthementheydisplaced, but the good Democrats of Irsaidthenthattheybelievedin ro- tation,and we believe a majority of them still believe in it.“ Four years ago when there was strong talk of running some one elseforthenominationofclerkofthecourt,Mr.Hartness having served three terms,his friends—and someofthemarepresentcountyofficers asking for renomination—jwent overthecountyaskingthatMr.Hartness be nominated for one more term,’60thathistermofofficeexpirewith that of-sheriff,register and treasurer. They gave us to understand that neither he nor they would ask to be nominated for another term. Further,we all remember how two years ago,when a good many goodDemocratsthoughtthatthepayof these offices could be reduced andwecouldstillgetgoodmentodothework,these men,or some ofthem,fought the plan desperately,and industriously tried -to get thepeopletobelievethatwecouldnot get the offices filled by efficient men at the reduced salary.They did notsucceed,although they did get the time put off for two years on the plea that it would not be fair to ap-ply it to part of the offices,Nowthesesamemenaretryingdesperate- ly to get the nomination.~This ~is assurance for you.We all like to coll ourselves Jeffersonian Democrats and yet Jefferson was the very father. of the idea of rotation.He said,“I dislike and strongly dislike theabandonmentoftheprinciplesofro- tation in office;”again,refusing toystandforthethirdterm,he said,“If the principle of rotation be as sound as I conscientiously believe it to be,no pretext should ever be per- mitted to dispense withthereneverwillbeatime when realdifficultiesdonotexistandfurnisha pretext for dispensation.”It seems to me that for the bestinterestofthepartythesemen ought not to ask that we nominatethemagain.Of course it is every man’s privilege to offer for an elec- tive office as many times as he chooses,but we believe that the prin-ciple of rotation will be upheld.A zealous supporter of one of the pres-ent officials predicted that he would go into the -convention with _two-thirds of Coddle Creek,half of thecountyprecinctsandpracticallyallofStetesville.I can’t answer for the rest of the county,but as a late citizen of the county would have said,if the rest of the county does their part,the voters of Coddle Creekwilldotheirpart.DEMOCRAT;Coddle Creek Township.7 Interesting News Items From Jen- nings Community.Correspondence of The Landmark.| Jennings,Jan.27.—We have been| having some ideal winter weather|and some of the farmers have been| preparing plant beds for this year’s|tobacco crop.If the season suitstherewillbealargectopputout this year.Good prices will arouse the farmers.’ The schools of this community are the -largest-thiswinter-they havé ev- er been.:The teachers of Buck Shoal town- ship,Yadkin county,are requested to meet at the Bell school house|* the 28th of February,in a township meeting.All are urged to be pres- ent.

Preliminary estimates by the De- partment of Agriculture show that of the -1,140,000,000 acres of tillable land in the United States only 27 per cent of it is actually under cul- tivation. It is estimated that the UnitedStates,excluding its possessions, contains about 1,900,000,000 acres, of which about 60 per cent or 1,140,-000,000 acres is tillable.This in-cludes land already under such cul-tivation and that which in the future may be brought under cultivation by clearing,drainage,‘irrigation,.etc. ‘Of the entire acreage 361,000,000 acres,or 19 per cent,are estimatedtobeYion-tillable but valuable for pasture or fruits.Only 21.per cent,or 399,000,000 acres,was esti- mated to be of no use for agricul- ture;either now or in the future. ‘According to the census of 1909thelandareaincropswhereacre- age was given was 311,000,000 acres. This is approximately 16 per cent of the total land area or about 27 percentoftheestimated‘potential tilla- ble area of the United States,exclus- ive of its possessions...“In other words,”sayy the department,“for every 100 acres that are now tilledabout875acresmaybetilledwhen the country is.fully developed.”The increased production of the future, it is added,will be the result of in-creased yields per acre as well as an.extension of area.

Some Things the Republican ‘Con- Candidate Diseussed in Wednesday,Some Things He Did Not Discuss andSomeCommentThereon. Mr.Frank A.Linney,the Repub- lican'candidate for Congress in this district,spoke at the court .house Wednesday to a good audience,the greater portion of it from the coun- try and most of it probably votersalreadyconfirmedintheRepublican faith.by Postmaster Raymer,who intro- duced him as “the man we hope andthinkwillbethenextRepresenta- resentative in Congress from_this district.”Mr.Linney is a good speaker and, like the smart lawyer he is,he»madethebest.possible showing for hiseausebypregéntinginthemost plausible manner the evidence he considered favorable anf by careful-ly omitting any discussion of the un-favorable evidence.His address was interspersed with wit which brought enthusiastic applause from the audience,The newspapérs of the district areevidently~-worrying.Mr.Linney.At the outset of his remarks he com-plained that some of the “‘little pa- pers”were distorting and miftepre- senting his remarks and his hecrers were asked not to accept in full what they said about him.He at that time mentioned but.one paper.The Concord paper,he said,had made much ado because he didn’t mention the constitutional amend-ments when he spoke in Concord.He didn’t mind being swallowed by a whale,he said,but he objected to the minnows nibbling at him—the “minnows”being the “little papers.”The first part of Mr.Linney’s ad- dress was the usua!glorification of the Republican party in which speakers of that party indulge.To condemn the party and its policies, said Mr.Linney,was to question the capacity of the people for self-ov- ernment,and to condemn the judg-ment of the American people who had so long continued the Republi- can party in control of the govern- ment.The Republicans controlled the Federal government since 1860 with the exception of 12 years,and it was asserted that the weaith of the country was doubled every ten years while the Republicans were in control. Mr.Linney was careful,however, te say’nothing about the distribu- tion of that wealth.The fact is that the great increase in wealth of which he speaks was in the main among the favored interests,those who were benefited by Republican policies and benefitcd at the experse of the mass- 28 The Democratic tariff bill and the wa"in Europe were next discussed. Mr.Linney said this country must be at war,as a war revenue tax keen Yevied,but he declared the only war in this.country of which he had any knowledge was the war the Democrats are waging on the “busines interests.”The Republican politician is always more conecrned about the “business interests”than about the masses.The Democratic tariff law has been in effect about a year and the cost of living has not been reduced as promised.The law has,however,cut off $100,000,000 of revenue paid by fhe foreign import- ers.He insisted that when the tar- iff is reduced on an article,or taken off,if the price of the atticle is not reduced,then the tariff tax paid by the foreigner is a direct loss of reve- nue.He said Mr.Doughton had vot- ed against taking the tariff off some things—cattle,for instance—and then later voted to put these things on the free list.Taking the tax off cattle and wool and other things,he contended,had not reduced the price of these things,but had lost much revenue to the government. As to Mr.-Doughton’s different votes on these things,it’is fair to say that Senator Simmons and oth- ers voted,when the Republican tar- iff bill was under consideration,for a duty on cattle,lumber and other Southern -products,on the ground that the Republicans were trying to put Southren!products on the free list while retaining Northern pro- ducts on thé dutiable list;and when a Democratic tariff bill was present- ed which did not discriminate,they were willing for Southern.products to go on the free list. 1 As to the failure to reduce the price of cattle,wool,etc.,Mr.Linney and all the Republican orators have always conténded heretofore’that to reduce the duty on these or to put them on the free list;would utterly destroy the industry;that the im- portation of foreign wool and cattle and lumber would put our folks out of business.Now he admits that this is not the case and complains be- cause the price has not been reduced. Cattle had become so s¢arce atid high in this country.under the Republican protection policy that meat was fast getting béyond the reach of the masses.While the price has not been teduced,it is probable that hut for the importation of cattle and meat the price.would be higher.In that the importations utder the new ‘tariff taw haven't.destroyed the in- cans have always contended would be the case,¥et»Mr.satay also neglected to men-tion that when the Democrats re- cut off revenue and it waswouldreducethe fd4.3 The speaker was presented) any event it has been demonstrated dustries mentioned,as the Republi-|- ‘vised the tariff they expected it toestimated revenues $100,006,000,as ‘he says.And this reduction was made mainlyonnecessaries“of life and fer the benefit of the masses.If.it Rasn’t yet aneeeet the cost of these”zs —which it did in some instanees——itwillpreventthecostbeingraised’soeasilybytrustsandcombines,as in the past.When this tax wascut

poor,ZSugarwasnext.Mr.-Linney-madetheusualRepublicanargumentthatbyreducingthetariffon‘pugar, which is ultimately.to come.in frec,the Democrats had destroyed the su-gar industry in this country and en- abled the sugar refiners to advanc<the price.He pointed to the recent rise in the price of sugar as proofandquotedSenatorRansdellofLou-isiana as having predicted that thi«would come to pass.Mr.Doughtonwas.arraigned for voting to.redtice the tax on sugar,which cost the ‘government $25,000,000 of _revenue and at the same tinre thesugartrusttoputupprice;and the Charlotte Observer was quoted as saying the cut on sugar was toodeep.Mr.Linney said ‘when he quoted the Observer in Mr,Dough-ton’s presence Mr.Doughtom saidtheObserverisnotaDemoeratic paper.He (Linney)thought it.wasandhewantedtheeditorofThe Landmark to find out who Was right.(We don’t mind saying to Mr,Lin-ney privately that the Observer, while a Democratic paper,is:very much infected with the iean doctrine of protection).Mr._Lin-ney said the Louisiana sugar grow- ers had planted their cane fiebis in cotton and left the impression thatthesugarindustrytherewasutterly destroyed.‘ Mr.Linney of course neglected tomentionthatafterthereducedtar-iff on sugar became effective the price declined and was down to about 4.40 wholesale when the Europeanwarbrokeout.At once the coun-tries at war stopped the exportation of sugar and England;“unable to bay sugar ftom Germany,made aepurchasesihthiscountry.U these conilitions,along with the in the ‘price of many other arti asa result of the

nextdiscussedanditwaschargedthattheanti-trust bill passed by the Demo-erats had weakened rather than strengthened the anti-trust law and Senator Reed’s criticism of the billpassedbythe«Democrats was had|quoted,Senator Reed being the Dem-ocratic Senater from Missouri.TheSupremeCourtreadintotheanti-~trust law the word “reasonable”as applied to the restraint of trade and the Democrats put in the word “sub- stantial.”Mr.Dougkten,says Mr.Linnéy,is a stockholder in theMeadowsMillCompany,a Wilkescountyindustrythatmanufacturesmills.This company sells all its product to the International Har- vester Company at $40 for each -nill and the Harvester company sel's the mills at $60.Mr.°Linney charged inferentially that Mr.Doughton vot- ed for an anti-trust bill that would not interfere with the Meadows Mill Company’s coritract with the Inter- national Harvester Co.and left the impression that Mr.Doughton hadthisin:mind when hé voted that way.Of course Mr.Linney doesn’t be-lieve that himself.He knows thatwhileMr.Donghton voted for the bill he liad nothing to do with the lan- guage,which agreed on after acontest‘in conference between the House and Senate;and he knows ows Mill Co:‘sells its output.to theHarvestercompanyisnotproofthat the Mill company is violating thelawortakingadvantageofthecon-sumer.If the Mill company retuail-ed its product the cost of the distri- bution

The difference between Mr.Travis and myself is this:He says,“Let’s go on with the present system.I know it is wrong,but I can get it right.”I say,“Let’s set up a broad- er system.I do not believe you will do any better under the present sys- tem than you ate doing;and the fact that for 25 years you have been going from bad to worse,is my jus-tification.for not manifesting more jfaith in your assurance.” The Demand For Cotton Will Come Discussing ‘the plight -of American leotton growers,the Cotton Factory |Times,a prominent English trade pa }per,“Tt is to be hoped that, the says: for their sakes as well as ours, planter rs will get throughwithout se-rious loss,‘The call for cotfor ~vill come in due time,and .it is essen- tial in the general interest chat it should then be forthcoming in suffici- ent quantities,which could hardly be the case if the growers were ruined or very severely hit at the present time.”The World Record has prepared a tahle,based on figures of the Jnter- 4/national Cotton:Federation,w hich show that about one-half of the cot- =|ton produced in America for the year | %ended September 1,1913,‘vos used iby the countries now at war.Great $'Britain,Germany,France,Austria,%Belgium and Japan are represented as consuming 7,534,984 bales out of a $total of Portugal, 14,508,737 bales.italy,Bolland,Sweden, which took} in 1913,are Spain, by the war, (ee What Would You Do?

LTT Wilson and the Price of Cotton. O.Max Gardner in Shelby Star. ‘Let us examine the administration of Woodrow Wilson with respect.to the price of cotton.He.was inaugur- ated President March 4,1913,The South received more money by mieny ~niilions of icilars for its ection crop during the first year of Mr.Wilson’s administration than it received for any crop previously.marketed in the entire histery of this country Cot ton sold last year for an average of about 12 1-2 cents per pourd,and this price prevailed a'l winter and spring,and cotton war sellinc at 14 cents in the fate of a big crop esti- mate—July 28,1914--when.Europe became aflame with war;therefore. the man who secks to charge the Tmocratic administration as being responsible for the low price of cot- ton,is either ignerant,or wilfully at- tempting:to mislead and insult the intelligence of the Southern farmers. The farmers of the Middle West are receiving unusually high and abnor- mal prices for their grains,meats and live stock,and the person in,the West who attempts to construe the favorable conditions cf that section as attributable to the Demucratir party,would be considered as either a fool or a demagoguc;more likely both.The West knows that the big high prices it receives for its pro- éncts are results.of the abnormal European demands.
